Unknown Broadcast slips back into the Weekly Spooky feed with more old-time radio horror stories, classic OTR suspense, vintage mystery radio, murder, supernatural bargains, gothic dread, crime, and dark escape drama. This episode opens with Mother Love, a chilling Radio Mystery Theater tale in which Paula Richards, devastated by the certainty that she can never bear a child, turns to a fortune teller and dealer in the macabre for a bargain that promises hope at a terrible price.

🕯️ Mother Love — Desperation, longing, and the supernatural curl together in a story about impossible motherhood and the danger of asking fate to bend. It is intimate, eerie, and cruel in exactly the way classic radio horror should be.
🥂 The Weakling — From the shadows comes “the unusual story of The Weakling,” following young Clyde Banning, son of a district attorney, stepping out of a nightclub after a New Year’s Eve party and into trouble that feels doomed from the start. This one has the bite of noir weakness curdling into tragedy.
🕷️ Will You Walk into My Parlor — The title alone drips with invitation and menace, and placed here it feels like a trap disguised as courtesy. It suggests seduction, danger, and the old fatal mistake of stepping willingly toward what should have been feared.
🕰️ Mr. Markham, Antique Dealer — Suspense takes us into the cold dark preservation of the past, where antique clocks, deep carpets, and old secrets rustle behind polished surfaces. By the end, it becomes a tale of murder, guilt, and the terrible practicality of hiding a body.
🌊 The Fourth Man — The night closes with Escape, inviting us to flee from Noumea in John Russell’s The Fourth Man, a story steeped in peril, survival, and the kind of desperation that makes men show their true natures. It is a strong, hard finish with salt, fear, and doom in the air.

For listeners chasing classic OTR horror, vintage suspense radio, supernatural bargains, murder stories, old-time radio crime, and eerie anthology storytelling, this transmission has all the right shadows — and some doors should never have been opened in the first place.

00:00:09.039 --> 00:00:16.519
My dear, so good to see you again. What's that well?

2
00:00:17.239 --> 00:00:19.879
I have been trying to spruce up a bit, even

3
00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:26.000
if I'm a bit late for the spring cleaning. Please

4
00:00:26.079 --> 00:00:30.559
please have a seat. I've dusted off my favorite chair

5
00:00:30.839 --> 00:00:36.000
just for you. The fire is getting plenty hot, the

6
00:00:36.079 --> 00:00:41.920
tea is nearly ready. Soon we'll be sipping warm joy

7
00:00:42.759 --> 00:00:49.479
as we mainline cold fear. But what could be more

8
00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:58.640
warm and inviting yet turns so terrifyingly callous and cold?

9
00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:05.719
Then well, I almost dare not say, mother.

10
00:01:05.680 --> 00:01:28.120
Love, come in. Welcome, I mee g.

11
00:01:28.359 --> 00:01:33.439
Marshall, Welcome to the fear you can hear, Welcome to

12
00:01:33.519 --> 00:01:37.640
the sounds of suspense, to the terrifying world of your

13
00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:41.239
own imagination. And I hope you won't hold it against

14
00:01:41.319 --> 00:01:43.480
us if we scare you a little with a tale

15
00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:47.719
that really could happen, I suppose. But when you hear

16
00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:51.840
the outcome, your hope it never does. Consider the case

17
00:01:51.879 --> 00:01:55.959
of Paula Richards, aged twenty four, who put her future

18
00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:58.959
in the hands of an old fortune teller and a

19
00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:00.519
dealer in the Maca.

20
00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:04.840
But one thing I must add about our arrangement. Yes,

21
00:02:05.719 --> 00:02:08.879
on the birth of the child, I will demand one favor.

22
00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:11.360
You must promise to grant.

23
00:02:11.080 --> 00:02:13.759
It a favor what.

24
00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:17.080
I shall ask it when the child is born.

25
00:02:18.199 --> 00:02:19.879
But I can't promise that one. I don't know what

26
00:02:19.879 --> 00:02:20.240
it is.

27
00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:23.840
It's a very small favor, but it is part of

28
00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:29.120
the bargain. And believe me, missus Richards, if you do decide.

29
00:02:28.599 --> 00:02:31.319
To bargain with me, I warn you to.

30
00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:42.439
Be ready to keep your part of it.

31
00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:47.080
Our mystery drama Mother Love was written especially for the

32
00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:51.680
Mystery Theater by Bob Duran and stars Joan Hackett. It

33
00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:55.599
is sponsored in part by Anheuser Busch Incorporated, brewers of Budweiser,

34
00:02:55.919 --> 00:02:59.479
and by the Kellogg Company, makers of Kellogg's special k Cereal.

35
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:05.400
I'll return shortly with Act one.

36
00:03:06.680 --> 00:03:11.840
Some research experts say you can't taste the difference between beers. Well,

37
00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:15.319
if they're right, then Anheuser Busch wastes a barrel of

38
00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:17.240
time beechwood aging Budweiser.

39
00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:18.719
Only they don't think so.

40
00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:23.199
Brewing beer right does make a difference, and they're betting

41
00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:26.639
a bundle that you can taste the difference in bud.

42
00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:30.439
When it comes to brewing Budweiser, the Anheuser Busch choice

43
00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:33.360
is to go all the way, because they still care

44
00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:37.240
about quality.

45
00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:40.599
Look at it this way.

46
00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:43.280
If the bud people have a choice between what some

47
00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:47.759
experts say and what beer drinkers say, well you'd better

48
00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:51.759
believe they'll go with you beer drinkers. Every time when

49
00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:58.120
you say Budweiser, you said it all Anheuser Busch, Saint Louis.

50
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:02.960

Not available in Westchester, Ulster, Orange, Duchess and Columbia counties.

70
00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:15.040
A doctor's waiting room is not the most pleasant place

71
00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:19.120
to spend the winter morning. And for Paula and George Richards,

72
00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:22.000
this morning is a very faithful one.

73
00:05:22.199 --> 00:05:23.759
What's taking him so long?

74
00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:24.959
Easy, honey?

75
00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:27.680
Doctor Morton has other patients, seck patients.

76
00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:31.199
Why can't doctor Morton say yes or no? Why does

77
00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:32.759
he have to keep us waiting?

78
00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:35.360
He wanted to see us together in person.

79
00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:37.319
I understand how he feels.

80
00:05:37.600 --> 00:05:40.800
Sometimes a doctor's word can make or wreck a life.

81
00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:43.439
This waiting is making a wreck out of me. I'm

82
00:05:43.439 --> 00:05:47.079
going to call mister Jordan. I'll tell him I will

83
00:05:47.079 --> 00:05:49.000
be in today. I told him i'd be late, but

84
00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:52.399
I'm I'm just no good for work today. I'm sure

85
00:05:52.399 --> 00:05:57.879
the doctor won't mind my using his phone. Oh, mister Jordan,

86
00:05:57.959 --> 00:05:59.720
I didn't expect you to answer.

87
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:01.879
That fake what's the verdict, Paula?

88
00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:05.600
I don't know yet. That's why I'm calling. I'm just

89
00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:08.040
I'm too upset to come in Today's it all right?

90
00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:08.439
Sure?

91
00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:08.879
Sure?

92
00:06:08.920 --> 00:06:11.800
I understand the books you can wait another day. No

93
00:06:12.040 --> 00:06:14.920
audit till the end of the quarter anyway, Thank you.

94
00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:15.920
What's the hold up?

95
00:06:17.240 --> 00:06:19.000
The doctor's busy. We're next.

96
00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:20.120
Carry your Paula.

97
00:06:20.759 --> 00:06:22.279
I've got my fingers crossed for you.

98
00:06:22.839 --> 00:06:26.160
Thanks, mister Jordan. Goodbye.

99
00:06:26.759 --> 00:06:27.839
He didn't mind, did he?

100
00:06:28.199 --> 00:06:28.399
No?

101
00:06:28.399 --> 00:06:30.240
No he didn't. He said if I wanted.

102
00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:32.160
Missus Richards, mister Richards follow that.

103
00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:33.040
Oh thank heaven.

104
00:06:33.079 --> 00:06:36.879
Will you step inside, please come right in, take those

105
00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:37.959
chairs by the disk.

106
00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:38.800
Thank you.

107
00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:44.279
I'm sorry you had to wait, doctor. I know, Missus Richards,

108
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:45.839
you're anxious about the tests.

109
00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:46.959
Oh you have no idea?

110
00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:49.800
Easy, I'll come right to the point. I think that's

111
00:06:49.879 --> 00:06:50.439
what you want.

112
00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:53.279
Yes, please, doctor all right.

113
00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:55.839
I can't sweet talk my way through to make it

114
00:06:55.879 --> 00:07:01.759
easier for you. The results are negative. I'm sorry, missus Richards,

115
00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:05.800
but from my examination, doctor Field's examination and the LAMB tests,

116
00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:09.199
you simply cannot ever hope to bear a child.

117
00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:14.360
George, It's certain and absolutely certain. Yes, it is would

118
00:07:14.439 --> 00:07:19.360
artificial know. The trouble lies with missus Richards. She's physically

119
00:07:19.399 --> 00:07:23.680
incapable of conceiving a bearing a child. I was I

120
00:07:23.720 --> 00:07:27.439
was trying to prepare for this, but sort of hits

121
00:07:27.439 --> 00:07:28.439
you right between the eyes.

122
00:07:29.079 --> 00:07:30.040
Take me home, George.

123
00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:30.399
Please.

124
00:07:37.519 --> 00:07:40.279
I hate to leave you alone today, but I have

125
00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:41.199
to get to the studio.

126
00:07:42.399 --> 00:07:43.160
It's all right to it.

127
00:07:44.519 --> 00:07:47.439
You know that I'm I'm not going to love you any.

128
00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:50.560
The less, Paula Darling.

129
00:07:50.600 --> 00:07:52.439
I just wanted to give you a son, so.

130
00:07:52.639 --> 00:07:54.160
It's not in our cards.

131
00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:58.279
We have each other. That's the main reason we got married,

132
00:07:58.319 --> 00:08:03.800
to be together. The baby would have been extra icing

133
00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:04.399
on the cake.

134
00:08:04.519 --> 00:08:09.160
Don't stop loving me, George, Please, please, George, don't stop

135
00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:09.639
loving me.

136
00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:14.920
I told you I won't, honey, and I meant it.

137
00:08:14.920 --> 00:08:16.600
You'll be okay today.

138
00:08:17.360 --> 00:08:17.959
I'll be okay.

139
00:08:19.319 --> 00:08:22.560
I won't be singing around the apartment, but I won't

140
00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:23.160
be tumping.

141
00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:23.759
Out the window either.

142
00:08:23.879 --> 00:08:25.879
I hate, like the devil to leave your honey, but

143
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:28.399
I'm due on the air with the new news.

144
00:08:30.360 --> 00:08:32.559
I'll be all right. See you at seventh.

145
00:08:38.759 --> 00:08:41.559
Pallah, Holla, what's the news. I've been dying for your

146
00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:42.440
car all morning.

147
00:08:42.799 --> 00:08:42.840
Ed.

148
00:08:42.879 --> 00:08:44.320
Now, would you have lunch with me today?

149
00:08:44.399 --> 00:08:46.399
I know our date isn't until Friday, and I know

150
00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:47.919
that it's snowing awful hard, but if.

151
00:08:47.879 --> 00:08:49.039
You could it, I'll have lunch.

152
00:08:49.120 --> 00:08:52.559
But get me down off the ceiling. What did the

153
00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:55.720
doctor say, I'll meet you at the towers one o'clock,

154
00:08:55.960 --> 00:08:58.559
of course, paul what happened?

155
00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:07.679
Bad news? Yes, bad news.

156
00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:10.759
Oh I can imagine how tough it is for you, Paula.

157
00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:15.559
No you can't. I'm going to lose George.

158
00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:16.879
Did he say that?

159
00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:19.720
No, just the opposite.

160
00:09:19.720 --> 00:09:23.279
But I know I have a feeling now, Paula, Honey,

161
00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:28.120
don't start planning your own downfall. I'm afraid it's all planned.

162
00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:32.759
It's all on the cards. In the cards, yes, you know,

163
00:09:32.799 --> 00:09:36.679
it's just an expression. Well, honey, I don't know whether

164
00:09:36.759 --> 00:09:43.519
I should suggest this. What well, you're just mentioning cards.

165
00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:46.200
It seems sort of frivolous at a time like this.

166
00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:50.200
But well, there's a woman down in the east village.

167
00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:52.919
She tells fortunes, you know, with cards.

168
00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:53.559
And tea leaves.

169
00:09:55.840 --> 00:09:57.440
What could you do for me? Tell me what I

170
00:09:57.480 --> 00:09:58.039
already know?

171
00:09:58.360 --> 00:10:03.440
Well, this woman especially isis and herbs. She calls herself mother, love,

172
00:10:05.240 --> 00:10:10.080
mother Love. Well, now, mind you, I'm just suggesting, but.

173
00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:14.080
Maybe, just maybe.

174
00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:18.679
This woman could help you. How sometimes these old clones

175
00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:21.519
can read things in the future. Maybe a baby isn't

176
00:10:21.559 --> 00:10:23.879
the cards for you. After the doctor said that the

177
00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:28.000
justing idea. Well, how do you how do you.

178
00:10:27.960 --> 00:10:28.960
Know this mother Love?

179
00:10:29.600 --> 00:10:29.799
Oh?

180
00:10:30.360 --> 00:10:33.320
Quite by accident about six.

181
00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:37.679
Months ago, Henry, And well maybe it was ed I. Anyway,

182
00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:40.200
it was the current one. At the time, we were

183
00:10:40.200 --> 00:10:42.159
bar hopping in the village when we came on this

184
00:10:42.279 --> 00:10:46.279
fantastic storefront. The window was painted green and purple with

185
00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:47.759
red curtains, and it said.

186
00:10:47.679 --> 00:10:49.919
Mother Love in orange letters.

187
00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:55.000
Fortunes told secret herb remedies. Seemed like a love So

188
00:10:55.039 --> 00:10:58.039
we went in and all I remember from then on

189
00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:04.159
was mumbling and sense and being told one I'd never marry,

190
00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:08.799
two that I was too sickle and flighty, and three

191
00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:10.799
that my mother had had a word on the right

192
00:11:10.879 --> 00:11:15.799
side blind, that the old crone wasn't right about that too, Edna.

193
00:11:15.799 --> 00:11:17.639
But I did that a fortune teller spell can help

194
00:11:17.720 --> 00:11:21.720
me have a baby is just nonsense. Looking at it

195
00:11:21.720 --> 00:11:24.000
in the cold light of day, You're right, it's just

196
00:11:24.039 --> 00:11:29.879
the thought. Ooh, something to say, I guess. Oh, honestly, Paul,

197
00:11:30.559 --> 00:11:34.960
I feel so uncomfortable. I mean, what what do you

198
00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:36.559
say to someone in your predicament?

199
00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:47.440
Hello, Edna?

200
00:11:47.639 --> 00:11:49.000
Oh, hi Paula.

201
00:11:49.200 --> 00:11:49.440
Edna.

202
00:11:50.200 --> 00:11:52.440
Look, last month you mentioned a woman in the village

203
00:11:53.039 --> 00:11:54.080
she worked with herbs.

204
00:11:54.480 --> 00:11:55.440
Oh, mother in.

205
00:11:55.480 --> 00:12:00.679
Love, Paula, You don't mean you've been thinking serious about that?

206
00:12:01.159 --> 00:12:04.080
Not until now, not really, But I'd look. I'd like

207
00:12:04.159 --> 00:12:05.320
to know how to find her.

208
00:12:06.039 --> 00:12:09.080
Why I seem to remember it was on eighth Street.

209
00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:13.840
Oh no, it was nine yeah, nine yeah? First, Well

210
00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:15.320
that's about all I'm sure.

211
00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:18.399
Of ninth near first.

212
00:12:19.240 --> 00:12:22.799
I wasn't really being serious that I can't do any harm.

213
00:12:23.080 --> 00:12:25.759
Right now, I'm ready to grab at any straws. When

214
00:12:25.799 --> 00:12:29.240
are you going Saturday? Have you told George?

215
00:12:29.919 --> 00:12:30.080
No?

216
00:12:30.240 --> 00:12:31.080
He'd be furious.

217
00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:32.440
Do you want me to come with?

218
00:12:32.519 --> 00:12:35.080
You would too, I'd feel a lot better.

219
00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:38.279
No faults, Let's not go too far.

220
00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:39.840
What does that mean?

221
00:12:40.279 --> 00:12:44.039
Well, we all laugh at fortune telling and spills and bruce,

222
00:12:44.159 --> 00:12:47.639
but sometimes when we want to believe, well, things happen.

223
00:12:47.960 --> 00:12:51.879
I'm going to this mother love because I I want

224
00:12:51.960 --> 00:12:54.080
something to happen. Maybe she can't do anything to help

225
00:12:54.120 --> 00:12:55.559
me have the baby, but I'm going to try.

226
00:12:56.000 --> 00:12:57.639
Look, it was all your idea, isn't it.

227
00:13:04.360 --> 00:13:06.759
I think it's at the end of this block.

228
00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:09.000
What a neighborhood?

229
00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:09.360
Mmm?

230
00:13:09.679 --> 00:13:10.679
Makes my skin crawls.

231
00:13:10.720 --> 00:13:11.080
That's it.

232
00:13:12.120 --> 00:13:14.919
I see what you mean about those red curtains and

233
00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:19.720
orange letters. It looks like a Coney Island transplant that failed.

234
00:13:21.399 --> 00:13:27.120
Mother love Fortune's tall secret herb remedy as well, Mother.

235
00:13:27.039 --> 00:13:36.440
Love Here I come, good heavens. I never expected anything

236
00:13:36.519 --> 00:13:36.840
like this.

237
00:13:38.200 --> 00:13:41.480
It's not what I remember. But then i'd been bar.

238
00:13:41.399 --> 00:13:43.799
Hopping this rock.

239
00:13:44.440 --> 00:13:47.159
It must be worth a fortune.

240
00:13:47.840 --> 00:13:48.960
Look at the paintings.

241
00:13:50.759 --> 00:13:57.120
There's too much incense, though, Ah, Mother has company.

242
00:13:58.200 --> 00:13:59.279
Good morning, ladies.

243
00:14:00.480 --> 00:14:00.799
Come in.

244
00:14:02.159 --> 00:14:05.320
How can mother serve you your fortunes?

245
00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:07.639
Perhaps maybe an ailment?

246
00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:15.039
Well I would, I'd like to talk to you.

247
00:14:15.840 --> 00:14:21.759
It will cost you. Mother's time is expensive. I'll pay

248
00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:23.279
both of you.

249
00:14:23.279 --> 00:14:25.279
No, I'm just along for the ride.

250
00:14:26.279 --> 00:14:30.679
Come then we'll go into my studio. Did not copy here?

251
00:14:31.879 --> 00:14:34.480
This way, my dear, through the curtains.

252
00:14:35.639 --> 00:14:38.080
It's a little dark, but I like it that way.

253
00:14:38.320 --> 00:14:38.639
Mother?

254
00:14:39.759 --> 00:14:40.320
Is that you?

255
00:14:41.519 --> 00:14:41.799
Mother?

256
00:14:42.519 --> 00:14:43.600
Of course? Claude?

257
00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:45.600
Mother is that you?

258
00:14:46.799 --> 00:14:50.360
Don't be alarmed. He's harmless. He's my son.

259
00:14:51.840 --> 00:14:52.759
What's the matter with you?

260
00:14:53.559 --> 00:14:55.120
He's blind and feeble minded?

261
00:14:55.679 --> 00:14:57.639
Oh, I'm so sorry.

262
00:14:58.120 --> 00:15:02.840
Come sit down at the table. What will it be hard?

263
00:15:03.240 --> 00:15:04.879
Tea leaves, crystal ball?

264
00:15:06.080 --> 00:15:09.879
No, I'm more interested in at herbs.

265
00:15:09.919 --> 00:15:12.279
I think, what is it you want?

266
00:15:14.320 --> 00:15:16.919
I want to have a baby. I was told that

267
00:15:16.960 --> 00:15:17.919
you might be able to help.

268
00:15:18.519 --> 00:15:20.159
Who told you I can do things like that?

269
00:15:22.039 --> 00:15:22.519
A friend?

270
00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:23.559
That one out there?

271
00:15:23.799 --> 00:15:25.799
No? No, no, someone else there?

272
00:15:26.720 --> 00:15:27.240
Is that?

273
00:15:27.399 --> 00:15:31.320
Your yes, Claude, Everything's all right.

274
00:15:33.360 --> 00:15:34.279
I tell fortunes.

275
00:15:35.080 --> 00:15:38.320
I give herbs for minor complaints. I do not deal

276
00:15:38.360 --> 00:15:40.320
in that sort of thing.

277
00:15:42.080 --> 00:15:43.440
Is there a herb that might help me?

278
00:15:43.879 --> 00:15:47.399
Of course, not not without a spell.

279
00:15:47.679 --> 00:15:48.240
Forget it.

280
00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:50.480
I've said too much already.

281
00:15:51.080 --> 00:15:51.480
My the love.

282
00:15:51.519 --> 00:15:53.519
I want desperately to have a child. The doctor says

283
00:15:53.519 --> 00:15:58.399
that I can't. The problem is my fault. I'll try anything,

284
00:15:58.840 --> 00:16:02.360
even if spell is necessary.

285
00:16:02.960 --> 00:16:03.919
It would be expensive.

286
00:16:04.559 --> 00:16:05.159
I don't care.

287
00:16:06.039 --> 00:16:07.399
There may be a way to help you have a

288
00:16:07.399 --> 00:16:09.480
normal baby with your own husband.

289
00:16:10.679 --> 00:16:11.639
Is that all I want?

290
00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:15.799
It will cost you one thousand dollars I have had,

291
00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:19.519
plus another five thousand when you have conceived.

292
00:16:20.639 --> 00:16:21.720
Five thousand.

293
00:16:21.960 --> 00:16:25.240
I said it would be expensive, and I guarantee nothing

294
00:16:26.159 --> 00:16:26.960
with these things.

295
00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:28.360
We can only try.

296
00:16:29.759 --> 00:16:30.720
Will you tell me one thing?

297
00:16:31.360 --> 00:16:33.519
Perhaps, perhaps not?

298
00:16:35.080 --> 00:16:38.200
Have you ever done this or this sort of thing before?

299
00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:42.960
I cannot answer that.

300
00:16:47.799 --> 00:16:52.279
Quite a gamble for PAULA six thousand dollars and no

301
00:16:52.399 --> 00:16:56.840
guarantee A long shot. If there ever was one. Will

302
00:16:56.879 --> 00:17:02.120
she take the gamble? Is she desperate enough? We'll soon see.

303
00:17:02.759 --> 00:17:04.880
I'll be back shortly with that too.

304
00:17:05.359 --> 00:17:06.880
And now another jail.

305
00:17:06.880 --> 00:17:08.000
I love the ball Unchain.

306
00:17:08.960 --> 00:17:13.680
All special tape prevents overweight on an overnight drink.

307
00:17:13.839 --> 00:17:14.680
Is this he taking?

308
00:17:14.799 --> 00:17:15.720
Please sit down.

309
00:17:16.839 --> 00:17:19.680
You have exceptional legs, Bob, But why is one of

310
00:17:19.720 --> 00:17:21.200
them attached to a ball and chain?

311
00:17:21.319 --> 00:17:22.240
It's fallen chain.

312
00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:25.279
It's a symbol, Honey, I would have sworn it was

313
00:17:25.319 --> 00:17:26.079
a ball and chain.

314
00:17:26.279 --> 00:17:29.400
I mean barbic. It's trying around if you extra barn,

315
00:17:29.559 --> 00:17:30.880
can you just not lugging around it?

316
00:17:31.039 --> 00:17:31.680
Fall and chain?

317
00:17:32.000 --> 00:17:32.440
I see?

318
00:17:32.519 --> 00:17:35.480
May I suggest something? You try A bowl of Special

319
00:17:35.519 --> 00:17:37.000
Chase skim milk, orange.

320
00:17:36.759 --> 00:17:38.960
Juice and coffee. It's the Special Care breakfast for it

321
00:17:39.079 --> 00:17:39.839
making lose rain.

322
00:17:40.039 --> 00:17:41.720
No, you must also.

323
00:17:41.640 --> 00:17:44.480
Exercise, and he's smart it every year. I see you

324
00:17:44.640 --> 00:17:47.000
know the Special Care Breakfast. It's less than two hundred

325
00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:50.079
and forty calories, ninety nine percent flat free and delicious.

326
00:17:50.319 --> 00:17:51.480
Now, but if you hum up, you.

327
00:17:51.440 --> 00:17:53.799
Buy the mos Another tail.

328
00:17:53.799 --> 00:17:54.920
I love the ball Unchain.

329
00:17:55.720 --> 00:17:59.640
Your happy ending could begin with the Killogg's Special Care Breakfast.

330
00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:01.720
Still on special.

331
00:18:01.400 --> 00:18:02.880
Gap good.

332
00:18:04.680 --> 00:18:08.559
This is w b R New York, your mystery theater station.

333
00:18:17.519 --> 00:18:24.359

Welcome again to the studio of Mother Love in a

346
00:19:19.519 --> 00:19:23.279
dingy part of New York City, a strange and eerie

347
00:19:23.359 --> 00:19:26.119
place where strange things are said to happen.

348
00:19:27.079 --> 00:19:27.960
Let's see if they do.

349
00:19:28.640 --> 00:19:33.599
As Paula Richards considers a bargain a bargain for a baby.

350
00:19:36.519 --> 00:19:39.559
I'll have to think this over right, admit that I

351
00:19:39.599 --> 00:19:43.079
am desperate, but I'll just have to think about it.

352
00:19:43.079 --> 00:19:47.720
It's for you to decide, of course, Mother, who's there?

353
00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:51.799
Who is that? Hush, hush, Claude. I'll be with you

354
00:19:51.839 --> 00:19:55.640
in a moment. I'm sorry, he's very ill.

355
00:19:56.519 --> 00:19:56.880
Thank you.

356
00:19:57.160 --> 00:19:59.759
Anyway, I'll be in touch with you if I decide.

357
00:19:59.720 --> 00:20:01.480
You, I'll be in touch.

358
00:20:03.000 --> 00:20:07.680
Yes, Claude, what's the matter?

359
00:20:07.759 --> 00:20:08.000
Now?

360
00:20:09.039 --> 00:20:09.720
Other's here?

361
00:20:11.039 --> 00:20:13.119
Father is always here.

362
00:20:13.200 --> 00:20:16.359
Well, I got you'd never come out.

363
00:20:17.519 --> 00:20:19.039
What happened? Let's get out of here.

364
00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:27.240
She really said that?

365
00:20:27.640 --> 00:20:29.559
Well, she said she doesn't guarantee anything.

366
00:20:29.960 --> 00:20:31.119
Father, Now listen to me.

367
00:20:32.039 --> 00:20:34.839
Forget it. She's a fraud and you know it.

368
00:20:35.400 --> 00:20:37.680
Well, you can't throw away six thousand dollars on a

369
00:20:37.799 --> 00:20:38.720
phony fortune.

370
00:20:38.759 --> 00:20:41.759
Tell if she could? Possibly? You have to tell Georgie

371
00:20:41.759 --> 00:20:42.759
about the heavens?

372
00:20:42.799 --> 00:20:46.200
No, no, no, no, he'd think he'd think.

373
00:20:46.079 --> 00:20:47.240
I was completely crazy.

374
00:20:47.279 --> 00:20:49.559
You know, I'm sorry I ever brought this up. Don't

375
00:20:49.599 --> 00:20:52.640
be innorant. Look, I won't lose my head. Well, now,

376
00:20:53.400 --> 00:20:56.440
where would you get the money anyway? Without telling Joy? Well,

377
00:20:56.440 --> 00:20:58.279
I have a thousand dollars and a person without it.

378
00:20:58.440 --> 00:21:01.119
It's all that's left of my father's and her. I'll

379
00:21:01.160 --> 00:21:01.920
worry about the rest.

380
00:21:02.000 --> 00:21:14.599
Lad a mother has company.

381
00:21:15.279 --> 00:21:17.039
Hi you, I.

382
00:21:17.000 --> 00:21:19.720
Had the thousand. I want to try, come in.

383
00:21:19.640 --> 00:21:23.880
Come in this way. I thought you'd be back.

384
00:21:24.960 --> 00:21:29.519
Mother, Love nos, Mother, love you.

385
00:21:28.559 --> 00:21:30.880
You will have the money.

386
00:21:30.839 --> 00:21:32.880
Here in cash.

387
00:21:33.480 --> 00:21:39.440
I need it for Claude. He needs medicine so badly. Ooh,

388
00:21:39.480 --> 00:21:43.480
Gord costs me so much. Are you sure you want

389
00:21:43.480 --> 00:21:44.000
a child?

390
00:21:44.559 --> 00:21:46.680
I want a baby. Get on with whatever you have

391
00:21:46.720 --> 00:21:47.000
to do.

392
00:21:47.680 --> 00:21:49.759
Yes, of course. Excuse me.

393
00:21:50.079 --> 00:21:51.279
I have to get some things.

394
00:21:52.039 --> 00:21:56.640
I had them already. I knew you would be back now.

395
00:21:57.519 --> 00:22:01.559
First of all, this talisman, you must wear it around

396
00:22:01.559 --> 00:22:08.599
your waist. This package contains herbs, a special combination to

397
00:22:08.680 --> 00:22:09.279
relax you.

398
00:22:10.400 --> 00:22:12.759
That's the secret to relax.

399
00:22:14.000 --> 00:22:16.880
Half a teaspoon and a cup of boiling water once

400
00:22:16.920 --> 00:22:19.359
a day in the morning is best.

401
00:22:20.960 --> 00:22:22.799
That's all for now.

402
00:22:23.920 --> 00:22:29.799
But one thing I must add about our arrangement. Yes,

403
00:22:30.079 --> 00:22:33.079
on the birth of the child, I will ask you

404
00:22:33.160 --> 00:22:33.880
one favor.

405
00:22:34.880 --> 00:22:38.039
You must promise to grant it a favor.

406
00:22:38.319 --> 00:22:41.799
But what I shall ask it when the child is born.

407
00:22:42.519 --> 00:22:44.319
But I can't promise that one. I don't know what

408
00:22:44.359 --> 00:22:44.759
it is.

409
00:22:45.119 --> 00:22:49.920
It's a very small favor. Don't worry. But it's part

410
00:22:49.960 --> 00:22:52.680
of the bargain very well.

411
00:22:52.680 --> 00:22:53.559
It's a long way off.

412
00:22:54.119 --> 00:22:54.839
Yes, it is.

413
00:22:56.200 --> 00:22:59.599
Take the talisman and the herbs, and don't be alarmed

414
00:22:59.640 --> 00:23:03.640
if certain unusual things happen in the next few weeks.

415
00:23:04.160 --> 00:23:06.640
Unusual things, what kind of things.

416
00:23:06.480 --> 00:23:12.440
You'll understand, you'll recognize them. They will mean things are working.

417
00:23:13.519 --> 00:23:14.920
Have you told your husband about this?

418
00:23:15.759 --> 00:23:15.839
No?

419
00:23:16.079 --> 00:23:20.039
Good, good, tell no one, no one.

420
00:23:21.920 --> 00:23:22.119
Now.

421
00:23:22.200 --> 00:23:27.839
The last thing I must have is your name, Paula.

422
00:23:27.680 --> 00:23:34.480
Richards, your husband do a rickets, go now and beware.

423
00:23:37.079 --> 00:23:38.000
I'll be in touch with you.

424
00:23:39.079 --> 00:23:41.279
Yes, five thousand.

425
00:23:42.440 --> 00:23:44.359
Remember when you conceive.

426
00:23:46.400 --> 00:23:46.759
Mother?

427
00:23:47.960 --> 00:23:57.000
Oh there, Lord, mother's here now only mother, See Claude,

428
00:23:57.599 --> 00:23:59.279
A thousand dollars.

429
00:23:58.920 --> 00:24:02.680
From the nice lady, lady who's going to help us.

430
00:24:03.839 --> 00:24:07.920
You're going to get better, Claude, she won't be sick anymore.

431
00:24:08.960 --> 00:24:10.400
The lady is going to help us.

432
00:24:11.599 --> 00:24:21.599
It isn't that nice, Claude. Well, I m honey for

433
00:24:21.680 --> 00:24:22.599
your thoughts.

434
00:24:24.000 --> 00:24:25.319
Oh, I wasn't thinking of anything.

435
00:24:25.359 --> 00:24:29.359
Really, you've been like that a lot lately, distant.

436
00:24:30.480 --> 00:24:33.680
I'm surprised you noticed, But honey, I know I.

437
00:24:33.599 --> 00:24:35.279
Haven't been a lily to live with either.

438
00:24:35.680 --> 00:24:38.920
I mean, we we've let our problem.

439
00:24:38.200 --> 00:24:39.079
Be too important.

440
00:24:40.440 --> 00:24:44.359
We're both disappointed, but we can't change the situation. I mean,

441
00:24:44.400 --> 00:24:47.279
we have to adjust to it. Sorry, if I've been

442
00:24:47.319 --> 00:24:50.519
a pill, if I've done anything to make you so

443
00:24:50.519 --> 00:24:55.279
so edgy, that's your word?

444
00:24:56.240 --> 00:24:57.039
Is that how you feel?

445
00:24:58.559 --> 00:25:01.519
I guess let's go to the show tonight. We haven't

446
00:25:01.519 --> 00:25:02.279
been out in weeks.

447
00:25:02.319 --> 00:25:04.319
I like that, Paul, I'd really like that.

448
00:25:05.440 --> 00:25:07.920
I've had a lot on my mind, and you're right,

449
00:25:08.000 --> 00:25:10.400
I have been thinking about myself too much.

450
00:25:10.839 --> 00:25:12.200
I see what I can get tickets for.

451
00:25:13.039 --> 00:25:15.000
Look at the time, I've got a shower and run.

452
00:25:15.319 --> 00:25:17.039
Hey, will you look at that?

453
00:25:18.279 --> 00:25:18.880
What is it?

454
00:25:18.680 --> 00:25:21.400
It's a bird at the window?

455
00:25:21.480 --> 00:25:22.720
I think I think it's a crow.

456
00:25:23.480 --> 00:25:28.039
No, crows are bigger blackbird. I no, I don't know.

457
00:25:28.680 --> 00:25:30.480
I thought they are once south for the winter.

458
00:25:30.680 --> 00:25:31.759
It looks awfully cold.

459
00:25:31.759 --> 00:25:33.799
Well, don't invite it in. They know how to take

460
00:25:33.799 --> 00:25:34.640
care of themselves.

461
00:25:35.359 --> 00:25:37.559
I see it tonight, honey by George.

462
00:25:37.759 --> 00:25:40.200
I caught at the office about the tickets for tonight.

463
00:25:40.480 --> 00:25:52.759
Okay, shoo, go away, shoe, Well, a few crumbs. Then

464
00:25:52.759 --> 00:25:59.839
I've got to get to work. You looks so cold.

465
00:26:02.839 --> 00:26:04.400
Now here, here's some bread.

466
00:26:05.599 --> 00:26:07.640
Get get out.

467
00:26:08.079 --> 00:26:10.119
Yeah, what am I gonna do?

468
00:26:10.160 --> 00:26:10.319
You know?

469
00:26:10.519 --> 00:26:13.839
The whole la, Get out, get out? Lord? What?

470
00:26:14.079 --> 00:26:14.240
Oh?

471
00:26:15.079 --> 00:26:16.200
What am I gonna get out?

472
00:26:16.319 --> 00:26:16.680
Shoot?

473
00:26:17.680 --> 00:26:20.279
Go go away?

474
00:26:22.119 --> 00:26:26.240
Hello, Missus Jensen? Is mister Jensen there? This is Missus

475
00:26:26.359 --> 00:26:29.279
Richardson three A. No, no, no, it's not about the heat.

476
00:26:29.279 --> 00:26:31.480
It's about a bird my apartment. I can't get it out.

477
00:26:32.319 --> 00:26:35.599
Well I thought that, mister Jensen. Oh no, I've got

478
00:26:35.599 --> 00:26:37.960
to get to work, all right, Ali, he can get

479
00:26:37.960 --> 00:26:38.640
in with the pasky.

480
00:26:38.720 --> 00:26:40.240
Maybe the bird will just fly out. I'll leave the

481
00:26:40.240 --> 00:26:40.960
window open a little.

482
00:26:41.039 --> 00:26:45.559
Yes, he's all right, Thank you, boy, stop following.

483
00:26:45.039 --> 00:26:46.839
Me, get out?

484
00:26:48.000 --> 00:26:48.519
Okay?

485
00:26:48.759 --> 00:26:58.160
What am I going to get you?

486
00:26:58.160 --> 00:27:00.680
You wanted to see me, mister Jordan, Yes.

487
00:27:00.799 --> 00:27:03.119
They said, down, Paula, how are you feeling?

488
00:27:04.119 --> 00:27:04.920
Why?

489
00:27:05.079 --> 00:27:05.279
Why?

490
00:27:05.480 --> 00:27:08.160
I know you've had a personal disappointment, You've been under

491
00:27:08.200 --> 00:27:08.599
a strain.

492
00:27:08.720 --> 00:27:10.000
You don't have to say it, mister Jordan.

493
00:27:10.039 --> 00:27:11.680
I know that my work has just been rotten lately,

494
00:27:11.720 --> 00:27:15.039
and I'm just all on edge. And today there's a

495
00:27:15.079 --> 00:27:18.400
bird in my apartment. A bird talked on the window

496
00:27:18.480 --> 00:27:20.319
this morning and stupidly open the window and gave it

497
00:27:20.359 --> 00:27:20.920
some chrumbs.

498
00:27:21.640 --> 00:27:22.480
What kind of bird?

499
00:27:23.039 --> 00:27:26.079
I don't know. It's black and shiny, not too big.

500
00:27:26.079 --> 00:27:28.720
I asked the superintendent to get it out. It's so unnerving.

501
00:27:29.160 --> 00:27:30.400
Well, I can imagine.

502
00:27:30.720 --> 00:27:32.880
I'm sorry about the work, mister Jordan. I know I've

503
00:27:32.880 --> 00:27:33.720
been letting you down.

504
00:27:34.160 --> 00:27:37.519
No, I'm sure it's just a passing thing. Your work

505
00:27:37.519 --> 00:27:41.119
has always been tops, Paula. But the books are important,

506
00:27:41.920 --> 00:27:45.359
and with the auditors coming in next month, well, everything

507
00:27:45.440 --> 00:27:46.039
just has to.

508
00:27:46.000 --> 00:27:46.559
Be in order.

509
00:27:47.160 --> 00:27:50.000
I know, mister Jordan, and i'll I promise, I'll straighten up.

510
00:27:51.960 --> 00:27:55.480
Yes, yes, he's here. It's a call for you.

511
00:27:56.319 --> 00:28:01.440
Oh, it must be George about tonight. Hello, Missus Richards.

512
00:28:02.200 --> 00:28:03.160
You know who this is?

513
00:28:05.759 --> 00:28:06.559
Yes, I know.

514
00:28:07.640 --> 00:28:08.880
Tell me, Missus Richards.

515
00:28:09.759 --> 00:28:11.440
Has the visitor arrived yet?

516
00:28:12.880 --> 00:28:14.960
The visitor you'll know.

517
00:28:16.039 --> 00:28:18.359
You'll know when the visitor arrives.

518
00:28:19.200 --> 00:28:20.920
You don't mean the bird.

519
00:28:21.160 --> 00:28:21.440
Good?

520
00:28:21.680 --> 00:28:25.359
Good, he has arrived. It's working.

521
00:28:26.160 --> 00:28:28.279
Yes, it's working, Missus Richards.

522
00:28:29.119 --> 00:28:33.279
Don't neglect the key now. Whatever you do, take care

523
00:28:33.319 --> 00:28:38.240
of the visitor is most important. I've been in touch

524
00:28:38.319 --> 00:28:41.000
with you again very soon.

525
00:28:42.480 --> 00:28:45.759
Oh well, is it is it trouble you're why is

526
00:28:45.759 --> 00:28:46.240
a ghost?

527
00:28:47.279 --> 00:28:49.960
No? No, no, trouble.

528
00:28:49.599 --> 00:28:51.519
Is I don't know who you mentioned?

529
00:28:51.559 --> 00:28:51.880
The bird?

530
00:28:51.960 --> 00:28:52.240
Is that it?

531
00:28:53.039 --> 00:28:57.279
Oh? Yes, yes, yes, Uh, the superintendent got it out.

532
00:28:57.400 --> 00:29:07.160
Oh good, good, then there's nothing to work you about it. Hey,

533
00:29:07.240 --> 00:29:08.519
I come home.

534
00:29:10.160 --> 00:29:18.319
Bo, don't touch it to just let it God, how

535
00:29:18.359 --> 00:29:19.200
did it get here?

536
00:29:20.079 --> 00:29:21.319
I let it in by accident.

537
00:29:21.319 --> 00:29:21.920
It won't leave you.

538
00:29:23.240 --> 00:29:25.400
No, no, no, no no, George, don't don't don't go.

539
00:29:25.400 --> 00:29:28.000
Near it, Paula. We are not gonna live with that

540
00:29:28.200 --> 00:29:28.920
in the house.

541
00:29:29.240 --> 00:29:32.599
It has a broken leg. I was thinking of getting.

542
00:29:32.720 --> 00:29:33.480
A cage for it.

543
00:29:33.640 --> 00:29:36.319
You can't cage a wild bird. And I'm not gonna

544
00:29:36.359 --> 00:29:40.000
sit around with one beady eye staring at me like that.

545
00:29:40.160 --> 00:29:43.559
George, don't touch it. Please just just go along with me.

546
00:29:45.200 --> 00:29:47.880
Oh, paul how pet is one thing, but.

547
00:29:48.079 --> 00:29:51.480
This I have to take care of it.

548
00:29:52.000 --> 00:29:52.200
Why?

549
00:29:52.440 --> 00:29:53.960
Why a wild bird?

550
00:29:54.759 --> 00:29:54.960
You know?

551
00:29:55.000 --> 00:29:56.160
I can't stand away.

552
00:29:56.200 --> 00:29:56.960
It stares at me.

553
00:29:57.079 --> 00:29:59.640
It stares at me too. We'll just get used to it.

554
00:30:00.119 --> 00:30:01.240
Ex gives me the woolies.

555
00:30:01.319 --> 00:30:03.400
Look at dinner. You have to be back at the

556
00:30:03.440 --> 00:30:04.680
studio at nine, don't you.

557
00:30:04.920 --> 00:30:05.119
Yeah.

558
00:30:05.160 --> 00:30:08.240
I'm sorry about our theory day, but with Peach's wife

559
00:30:08.240 --> 00:30:10.799
in the delivery room, I've got to cover the evening news.

560
00:30:10.960 --> 00:30:13.480
Of course, Peach shouldn't be anywhere else when the baby

561
00:30:13.559 --> 00:30:16.799
is born. Do what French fries or boiled potatoes.

562
00:30:16.440 --> 00:30:19.039
Whatever's fastest.

563
00:30:19.359 --> 00:30:23.119
Oh, you find a harm, Madia. Well, I'm not in

564
00:30:23.160 --> 00:30:23.880
favor of it.

565
00:30:23.880 --> 00:30:31.359
But it looks like you're part of your family. Paula,

566
00:30:31.599 --> 00:30:35.359
come in, Come in. I haven't seen you since your

567
00:30:35.400 --> 00:30:37.839
father's funeral, almost three years.

568
00:30:38.240 --> 00:30:40.279
It was nice of you to see me, mister Martin,

569
00:30:40.440 --> 00:30:41.559
and why wouldn't I.

570
00:30:42.039 --> 00:30:44.839
I'm only sorry I wasn't more attentive to you after

571
00:30:44.880 --> 00:30:46.079
your father passed away.

572
00:30:46.759 --> 00:30:48.400
Fred and I were good friends.

573
00:30:48.680 --> 00:30:52.559
I've missed him, Thank you, so have I.

574
00:30:52.559 --> 00:30:57.319
I I'm here to ask a favor, of course, Paula.

575
00:30:58.960 --> 00:31:03.720
Mister Martin, would you lend me five thousand dollars? New

576
00:31:03.799 --> 00:31:04.440
questions asked?

577
00:31:05.359 --> 00:31:10.480
Five thousand irah. Are you in some kind of trouble

578
00:31:10.559 --> 00:31:16.160
paul no questions. Yes, course you wouldn't ask me if

579
00:31:16.160 --> 00:31:20.119
you didn't need it badly. I will, Paula, I don't

580
00:31:20.119 --> 00:31:22.720
have that much on hand. Suppose I send you a check.

581
00:31:24.960 --> 00:31:28.359
Thank you, Thank you so much. I don't need it immediately.

582
00:31:28.440 --> 00:31:30.400
Anytime in the next few weeks will just be fun.

583
00:31:30.480 --> 00:31:32.000
You'll have it in a few days.

584
00:31:32.039 --> 00:31:33.759
I promise you. I will pay you back.

585
00:31:34.000 --> 00:31:35.200
I'm not worried about that.

586
00:31:42.680 --> 00:31:44.720
Hello, missus Richards.

587
00:31:45.559 --> 00:31:46.440
Oh, yes, it's you.

588
00:31:47.599 --> 00:31:51.599
Things are ready. You'll be needing the five thousand very soon.

589
00:31:52.359 --> 00:31:53.279
I've arranged that.

590
00:31:53.640 --> 00:31:54.640
Good good.

591
00:31:55.680 --> 00:31:59.400
How is the visitor still there?

592
00:32:00.559 --> 00:32:10.519
It must be there. It is good, good. Five thousand dollars.

593
00:32:10.680 --> 00:32:16.680
God for the lady will give us five thousand dollars. Mother,

594
00:32:17.240 --> 00:32:20.480
you'll be going to get better. Claude, you'll be able

595
00:32:20.519 --> 00:32:25.559
to see again. Your legs won't hurt our mothers to

596
00:32:25.720 --> 00:32:30.240
leave you for a while. But don't worry, Claude, we'll

597
00:32:30.319 --> 00:32:37.079
be together soon. With five thousand dollars, everything will be

598
00:32:37.200 --> 00:32:37.799
all right.

599
00:32:39.079 --> 00:32:44.559
I promise you.

600
00:32:47.960 --> 00:32:52.039
Everything will be all right for mother, love and Claude,

601
00:32:52.920 --> 00:32:57.000
and presumably Paula. But when we tamper with the unknown,

602
00:32:57.920 --> 00:33:00.000
the results can be very unexpected.

603
00:33:00.920 --> 00:33:03.119
I'll return shortly with AG three.

604
00:33:03.359 --> 00:33:07.599
I'm High Brown, producer of radio mystery theater. In recent weeks,

605
00:33:07.640 --> 00:33:11.079
I've invited listeners to enter a weekly prize drawing and

606
00:33:11.160 --> 00:33:13.599
to send along comments about our program.

607
00:33:13.799 --> 00:33:15.559
If you wished, well, you.

608
00:33:15.680 --> 00:33:18.880
Leave me just about speechless except to say thank you,

609
00:33:19.200 --> 00:33:24.319
thank you for the fantastic response. Thousands upon thousands of letters,

610
00:33:24.480 --> 00:33:27.839
and they're still pouring in. But although we couldn't feel

611
00:33:27.839 --> 00:33:31.359
more gratified. There is a problem. In addition to your

612
00:33:31.480 --> 00:33:34.880
kind words, many of you ask questions, and the volume

613
00:33:34.920 --> 00:33:37.400
of mail is so great that we can't get around

614
00:33:37.480 --> 00:33:40.559
to sifting through it for many weeks. But now that

615
00:33:40.559 --> 00:33:43.559
the drawing is over, if you have a specific question,

616
00:33:43.960 --> 00:33:46.319
please try us again and we ll aim for a

617
00:33:46.400 --> 00:33:51.079
quick reply. Address Mystery Theater Box five to one, five

Wingingate News Digest, and question you planning to drive this weekend?

626
00:34:18.719 --> 00:34:26.639
Great New England, forget it, the Poconos, watch out upstate Westchester, Rockland,

627
00:34:26.840 --> 00:34:29.840
You're in trouble there too. A spokesman for the Auto

628
00:34:29.840 --> 00:34:31.599
Club of New York will tell you it's going to

629
00:34:31.639 --> 00:34:35.159
be a dry weekend coming up, and he also lets

630
00:34:35.159 --> 00:34:38.480
you know how he feels about the gas shortage. It's short,

631
00:34:38.519 --> 00:34:41.840
he says, but why he doesn't know? Then a special

632
00:34:42.079 --> 00:34:46.039
our White House correspondent, Clipper Evans analyzing Richard Nixon speech

633
00:34:46.039 --> 00:34:48.880

634
00:34:49.119 --> 00:34:54.679
ten o'clock later, deafness. What are the early warning signs

635
00:34:54.679 --> 00:34:58.480
that you, at whatever age, may be going deaf? We'll

636
00:34:58.480 --> 00:35:01.880
find out from a tough expert on hearing he himself

637
00:35:02.079 --> 00:35:05.079
has the problem in those tonight ten o'clock, John N.

638
00:35:05.119 --> 00:35:06.000
Gate w R.

639
00:35:17.800 --> 00:35:21.639
Let's return now to the plight of Paula and George Richards.

640
00:35:22.480 --> 00:35:25.719
You'll remember that mother Love told Claude everything would be

641
00:35:25.760 --> 00:35:29.760
all right. But things are not quite so right for George.

642
00:35:30.039 --> 00:35:33.360
In fact, things for George are getting downright impossible.

643
00:35:33.599 --> 00:35:36.840
Paula, I am not going to bed another night with

644
00:35:37.039 --> 00:35:38.440
the bird on the dresser.

645
00:35:39.400 --> 00:35:41.400
It's been there every night for two weeks. It does

646
00:35:41.400 --> 00:35:43.280
a sleep. You've got to admit he hasn't been any trouble.

647
00:35:43.800 --> 00:35:45.960
I still don't like the look in his eye, the

648
00:35:46.000 --> 00:35:47.960
way it hobbles with that broken leg.

649
00:35:48.000 --> 00:35:50.360
It's I mean, it's gro test.

650
00:35:52.079 --> 00:35:54.840
Turn out the light, George, you won't see it then.

651
00:35:56.559 --> 00:35:59.360
Oh boy, I never thought I'd be sharing my bedroom

652
00:35:59.400 --> 00:36:04.599
with a bird bird Good night time, Tomire.

653
00:36:04.760 --> 00:36:06.480
That thing I don't know.

654
00:36:06.480 --> 00:36:07.719
It never acted that way before.

655
00:36:08.159 --> 00:36:09.679
Keeps that up, I'm gonna shoot it.

656
00:36:11.159 --> 00:36:12.119
Good night, George.

657
00:36:12.760 --> 00:36:13.360
Yeah, poor.

658
00:36:17.079 --> 00:36:19.880
Paula hollow? What is poor?

659
00:36:23.000 --> 00:36:26.119
I'm not going to get the light.

660
00:36:27.239 --> 00:36:28.280
I'll called doctor Morton.

661
00:36:33.519 --> 00:36:35.199
The bird takes the pool.

662
00:36:35.280 --> 00:36:38.159
I'm concerned about you.

663
00:36:39.679 --> 00:36:41.440
What time is it?

664
00:36:41.440 --> 00:36:46.760
It's four thirty. I'm calling doctor Morton, not you. It

665
00:36:46.920 --> 00:36:51.360
might be a pandici. No, no, no, I'm gonna kill

666
00:36:51.400 --> 00:36:52.800
that bird and it doesn't shut up.

667
00:36:54.039 --> 00:36:54.639
I'll be all right.

668
00:36:55.039 --> 00:36:55.519
I'll be all right.

669
00:36:55.559 --> 00:36:59.400
I'll see God. I'll see doctor Morton.

670
00:36:59.119 --> 00:36:59.280
In the.

671
00:37:06.599 --> 00:37:07.000
George.

672
00:37:07.480 --> 00:37:10.960
Yes, honey, what time is it?

673
00:37:11.159 --> 00:37:16.440
Seven o'clock? I fell asleep after the pain seemed to stop.

674
00:37:18.199 --> 00:37:21.199
Oh, the pain so much better now.

675
00:37:21.519 --> 00:37:24.360
Well, we're going to see doctor Morton just as.

676
00:37:24.199 --> 00:37:25.920
Soon as you feel well enough to get up.

677
00:37:27.400 --> 00:37:29.639
No, I'll be all right.

678
00:37:29.679 --> 00:37:31.280
I'll just stay home. I don't want to see doctor

679
00:37:31.280 --> 00:37:31.840
Morton today.

680
00:37:31.960 --> 00:37:35.079
Wally, you can't let it go. It might be something serious.

681
00:37:35.559 --> 00:37:40.000
I promise I'll see him when when it is necessary.

682
00:37:40.039 --> 00:37:42.039
I just I want to stay in bed today.

683
00:37:42.880 --> 00:37:44.519
I'm going to call him and tell him about it

684
00:37:44.559 --> 00:37:45.960
after I make us some coffee.

685
00:37:46.360 --> 00:37:49.480
All right, I'm good. Wash.

686
00:37:49.599 --> 00:37:51.880
I call mister Jordan also. I tell him that you

687
00:37:51.920 --> 00:37:52.840
won't be in today.

688
00:37:53.320 --> 00:37:54.840
He isn't going to like that fall.

689
00:37:56.159 --> 00:37:58.000
What come in here?

690
00:37:58.639 --> 00:37:59.400
What's the matter?

691
00:38:00.280 --> 00:38:04.199
So I didn't do it, Paul. I know I threatened to,

692
00:38:04.360 --> 00:38:07.599
but I swear I didn't. I never gave the bird

693
00:38:07.639 --> 00:38:10.760
another thought after that painage. I never touched it.

694
00:38:10.880 --> 00:38:13.320
Oh, George, it's all crumpled up.

695
00:38:14.239 --> 00:38:22.519
It's dad, Paul. The bird is dead. How long ago

696
00:38:22.559 --> 00:38:23.320
was this a take.

697
00:38:24.840 --> 00:38:26.719
A little over a month ago? Dr Morton?

698
00:38:26.800 --> 00:38:28.239
Why didn't you see me right away?

699
00:38:28.400 --> 00:38:28.559
Well?

700
00:38:28.719 --> 00:38:29.760
I wanted to be sure.

701
00:38:30.400 --> 00:38:35.480
Well, Paula, there are some preliminary signs similar to pregnancy.

702
00:38:36.760 --> 00:38:39.039
That's what I thought. I knew it would be.

703
00:38:39.159 --> 00:38:41.559
Don't get your hopes up yet, Paula. I told you

704
00:38:41.599 --> 00:38:44.239
about the impossibility of yours.

705
00:38:44.280 --> 00:38:45.519
I know, I know, but I think it.

706
00:38:45.480 --> 00:38:49.280
And I said, these symptoms are similar to pregnancy. They

707
00:38:49.320 --> 00:38:52.199
could be caused by something else. I'd like to run

708
00:38:52.239 --> 00:38:54.400
a few more tists, all.

709
00:38:54.360 --> 00:38:57.480
Right, anything that you say. But this time they're going

710
00:38:57.559 --> 00:39:00.280
to be positive. I know, Doctor Morton. I just know

711
00:39:00.000 --> 00:39:01.679
woman knows when life has started within her.

712
00:39:08.320 --> 00:39:12.159
Hello, missus Richards, I thought i'd be seeing.

713
00:39:11.840 --> 00:39:12.440
You by now.

714
00:39:14.199 --> 00:39:18.239
Oh yes, well the doctor hasn't confirmed it yet, but

715
00:39:18.280 --> 00:39:19.320
I thought.

716
00:39:19.400 --> 00:39:20.599
We know, don't we?

717
00:39:22.679 --> 00:39:26.519
Yes, the second part of our bargain is due, Missus Richards,

718
00:39:27.199 --> 00:39:32.360
five thousand dollars, and after what we've already been through,

719
00:39:32.480 --> 00:39:35.000
I think you know I mean what I say.

720
00:39:36.519 --> 00:39:37.119
Yes, I do.

721
00:39:37.599 --> 00:39:41.960
Good good, I'll be expecting you, Missus Richards.

722
00:39:42.519 --> 00:39:45.000
I promise I'll keep my end of the bargain. I

723
00:39:45.039 --> 00:39:47.840
told you I arranged for the money. It just hasn't

724
00:39:47.840 --> 00:39:49.760
come in yet. I'll check on it today.

725
00:39:50.199 --> 00:39:51.199
Good good.

726
00:39:51.960 --> 00:39:53.360
I'll be seeing you soon.

727
00:39:53.199 --> 00:39:55.199
Then, Yes, I promise.

728
00:39:55.760 --> 00:40:01.000
I hope, so, I hope, so, Missus Richards, you know

729
00:40:01.079 --> 00:40:01.840
what I can do?

730
00:40:02.440 --> 00:40:06.400
Hello?

731
00:40:07.199 --> 00:40:08.800
Hello? May I speak to mister Martin?

732
00:40:08.840 --> 00:40:09.119
Please?

733
00:40:10.039 --> 00:40:11.639
No, no, mister Martin?

734
00:40:12.559 --> 00:40:13.480
Yeah?

735
00:40:13.960 --> 00:40:14.199
What?

736
00:40:15.679 --> 00:40:16.039
Good?

737
00:40:16.119 --> 00:40:16.320
God?

738
00:40:16.400 --> 00:40:16.559
When?

739
00:40:18.559 --> 00:40:18.719
Well?

740
00:40:18.760 --> 00:40:20.519
He can't be? Did he just can't be? Did you?

741
00:40:21.039 --> 00:40:22.960
Well? Listen? Do you know if he said, oh no,

742
00:40:23.400 --> 00:40:25.159
you wouldn't know that. What am I going to do?

743
00:40:25.840 --> 00:40:26.000
Did?

744
00:40:27.639 --> 00:40:27.800
No?

745
00:40:27.800 --> 00:40:28.199
No? No?

746
00:40:28.239 --> 00:40:29.559
I don't want to speak to anyone else.

747
00:40:35.480 --> 00:40:36.679
I expected you sooner.

748
00:40:37.480 --> 00:40:39.719
I'm sorry I had to turn to another sauce for

749
00:40:39.760 --> 00:40:40.280
the money.

750
00:40:40.599 --> 00:40:43.199
It doesn't matter. You're here with it now.

751
00:40:45.000 --> 00:40:45.679
It's all there.

752
00:40:45.880 --> 00:40:49.800
Good's good. We're almost even then, eh.

753
00:40:49.880 --> 00:40:50.320
I hope.

754
00:40:50.360 --> 00:40:55.719
So you don't sound grateful, missus Richards. You wanted a.

755
00:40:55.719 --> 00:41:00.599
Child and you are pregnant. You should be grateful. I

756
00:41:00.679 --> 00:41:02.079
have lost my son.

757
00:41:04.920 --> 00:41:09.599
I'm so sorry Floyd is dead, but he was so ill.

758
00:41:09.679 --> 00:41:13.719
Perhaps it's better. Part of this will pay for the funeral.

759
00:41:14.599 --> 00:41:17.599
The rest is for the future.

760
00:41:18.880 --> 00:41:21.840
I really must go now, of course.

761
00:41:22.280 --> 00:41:27.960
Go and good fortune. You won't need the amulet any more.

762
00:41:29.000 --> 00:41:33.440
Save it as a souvenir, and I'll be seeing you

763
00:41:34.440 --> 00:41:35.719
when the baby is born.

764
00:41:40.719 --> 00:41:41.079
Paula.

765
00:41:41.320 --> 00:41:43.280
George, sit down.

766
00:41:44.320 --> 00:41:45.840
Well, I'm sure glad.

767
00:41:45.880 --> 00:41:48.119
Paula has finally decided to have you check on those

768
00:41:48.119 --> 00:41:49.920
stomach pains doctor Morden.

769
00:41:49.880 --> 00:41:51.599
When I examined her last week.

770
00:41:51.760 --> 00:41:55.119
Last week, I didn't tell you, George. I wanted to

771
00:41:55.119 --> 00:41:59.440
be sure first, sure why I can't have a baby.

772
00:42:00.840 --> 00:42:03.880
What that's right, George. I wanted to see you both

773
00:42:03.920 --> 00:42:07.480
about the results the tests. It's almost impossible for me

774
00:42:07.519 --> 00:42:09.639
to believe, but it's conclusive.

775
00:42:09.960 --> 00:42:11.280
Paula is pregnant.

776
00:42:11.400 --> 00:42:13.320
I wanted it so much for you, George.

777
00:42:13.360 --> 00:42:16.880
What you said that Paula could never conceive or bear

778
00:42:16.960 --> 00:42:17.519
a child.

779
00:42:17.639 --> 00:42:21.239
I did, But Paula proved us wronged me.

780
00:42:21.360 --> 00:42:22.920
Many things happened to prove us wrong.

781
00:42:22.960 --> 00:42:25.719
Now and then you're happy George happy.

782
00:42:26.599 --> 00:42:30.480
Oh, Paula, Now I know why you've been so irritable

783
00:42:30.599 --> 00:42:34.039
and distant. Yeah, I feel like I'm getting my wife back,

784
00:42:34.079 --> 00:42:35.039
along with a baby.

785
00:42:35.079 --> 00:42:37.320
But I want to see you every two weeks. We

786
00:42:37.519 --> 00:42:41.079
usually make it a monthly visit, but you're an unusual.

787
00:42:40.599 --> 00:42:42.800
Case, a very wonderful case.

788
00:42:42.960 --> 00:42:47.159
I wish you both much happiness.

789
00:42:48.639 --> 00:42:52.960
You wanted to see me, mister Jordan, Yes, yes, Paula,

790
00:42:53.159 --> 00:42:54.000
how are you feeling?

791
00:42:55.599 --> 00:42:56.920
I think full is the word.

792
00:42:57.559 --> 00:42:58.840
When it's the big day, the.

793
00:42:58.880 --> 00:42:59.440
End of August.

794
00:42:59.480 --> 00:43:02.639
It's only three months. I'm going to spend it uncomfortable summer.

795
00:43:04.039 --> 00:43:04.760
It looks that way.

796
00:43:05.679 --> 00:43:08.679
I don't know any way of saying this, Paula, other

797
00:43:08.760 --> 00:43:12.639
than just getting right out with it. You know we

798
00:43:12.639 --> 00:43:16.760
were audited last month at the end of the quarter. Yes,

799
00:43:17.320 --> 00:43:19.519
the order is found a shortage of five thousand dollars.

800
00:43:20.840 --> 00:43:22.039
I'll have to have an explanation.

801
00:43:22.719 --> 00:43:23.840
Yes, I suppose you will.

802
00:43:24.440 --> 00:43:27.199
Now I know there must be a reason, Paula. You've

803
00:43:27.199 --> 00:43:29.920
worked for me for five years, never a mistake.

804
00:43:31.280 --> 00:43:34.400
I'm going to tell you the truth. I just hope

805
00:43:34.400 --> 00:43:35.360
that you can believe it.

806
00:43:36.039 --> 00:43:36.760
Why shouldn't that.

807
00:43:44.400 --> 00:43:47.559
I simply couldn't get the money anywhere. I haven't told George,

808
00:43:47.559 --> 00:43:49.280
but we'll pay it back. Look, I promise you.

809
00:43:50.079 --> 00:43:54.159
I hope so, but I'll go along with that.

810
00:43:55.480 --> 00:43:56.400
Thank you, mister Jordan.

811
00:43:57.800 --> 00:43:59.639
Right now, the baby's the important thing.

812
00:44:03.559 --> 00:44:06.199
George, it's time, I know it.

813
00:44:06.320 --> 00:44:08.360
I'll get doctor Morton, I'll get the suitcase.

814
00:44:11.920 --> 00:44:14.760
Congratulations, everything's all right, Paula.

815
00:44:14.920 --> 00:44:15.840
Paula is fine.

816
00:44:15.880 --> 00:44:16.559
Boy or girl.

817
00:44:17.000 --> 00:44:19.039
Only the mother I can tell you that. Go on

818
00:44:19.159 --> 00:44:20.960
in Paula.

819
00:44:21.280 --> 00:44:25.199
Honey, George, isn't it beautiful? I've already named him George Junior.

820
00:44:25.280 --> 00:44:27.559
I hope you don't mind mind.

821
00:44:27.960 --> 00:44:38.679
Oh no, honey, honey, honey, boy champagne.

822
00:44:38.400 --> 00:44:43.639
Silly question. A toast to the godmother. Oh you too.

823
00:44:44.400 --> 00:44:46.480
You know you're going to make a grown woman cry.

824
00:44:46.679 --> 00:44:49.280
To Edna and to little George.

825
00:44:49.679 --> 00:44:52.840
Oh, I'm so happy for both of you. And you

826
00:44:53.000 --> 00:44:54.679
don't know how relieved I am.

827
00:44:55.079 --> 00:44:55.519
Relieve.

828
00:44:55.840 --> 00:44:59.000
Oh Oh, what I mean is I think that Edna

829
00:44:59.000 --> 00:45:01.119
means that she's released, doesn't have to listen to my

830
00:45:01.199 --> 00:45:06.280
troubles at lunch anymore. From now on, everything's roses.

831
00:45:05.039 --> 00:45:09.840
I'll get it. Hello, Yes, it's for you, honey.

832
00:45:11.360 --> 00:45:20.599
Hello, Hello missus Richards, Congratulations on your new son. Thank

833
00:45:20.639 --> 00:45:25.239
you it's time now for the favor, the last part

834
00:45:25.280 --> 00:45:26.000
of our bargain.

835
00:45:27.280 --> 00:45:29.519
Yes, I suppose it is good.

836
00:45:30.079 --> 00:45:30.760
Good.

837
00:45:31.480 --> 00:45:33.679
I'll see you here in my studio.

838
00:45:33.400 --> 00:45:40.880
Tomorrow with the baby, just to see him, that's all,

839
00:45:42.039 --> 00:45:44.159
just to see him.

840
00:45:44.239 --> 00:45:49.519
All right, good, good.

841
00:45:54.119 --> 00:45:57.039
Come in, Come in.

842
00:45:57.960 --> 00:46:00.440
I I don't want to seem rude. I'd glad to

843
00:46:00.440 --> 00:46:02.360
get this over with just as quickly as possible.

844
00:46:03.199 --> 00:46:10.000
Come let me hold him. Ah, here we are.

845
00:46:11.679 --> 00:46:18.960
A fine help me boy, aren't you, Claude, such a

846
00:46:19.599 --> 00:46:21.480
fine strong legs?

847
00:46:21.559 --> 00:46:24.639
Now they don't hurt anymore, do they?

848
00:46:24.719 --> 00:46:27.760
Clawd give me that the baby.

849
00:46:28.400 --> 00:46:30.360
Mother told you everything would be all right.

850
00:46:30.519 --> 00:46:33.360
Claude.

851
00:46:37.960 --> 00:46:47.320
Yes, Claude, God Mother told you that you'd be away

852
00:46:47.400 --> 00:46:48.239
for a little while.

853
00:46:49.679 --> 00:46:55.800
But now we're together again, and you won't be sick anymore.

854
00:46:58.800 --> 00:47:03.159
You'll have a fine new body now, and we'll take

855
00:47:03.199 --> 00:47:07.119
better care of it than we did with the last one.

856
00:47:07.920 --> 00:47:14.119
Mother will see to that, Claude. Mother will see to it.

857
00:47:18.239 --> 00:47:23.800
So little George or little Claude, whichever you prefer, seems

858
00:47:23.840 --> 00:47:27.519
to have more than his share of mothers. Perhaps Paula

859
00:47:27.599 --> 00:47:30.239
and Mother Love will share the raising of the child.

860
00:47:31.320 --> 00:47:33.519
But whatever they do, I hope that.

861
00:47:33.519 --> 00:47:37.000
You if you're ever tempted to deal in spells, will

862
00:47:37.039 --> 00:47:42.239
remember some age old advice and follow it. Paviot Emptor

863
00:47:43.119 --> 00:47:48.320
let the buyer beware. I'll be back shortly and now.

864
00:47:48.079 --> 00:47:50.079
With another story of mystery. Aandon Trigue.

865
00:47:50.119 --> 00:47:54.920
Here is Commander Nevill Putney to keep you in anxiety.

866
00:47:55.400 --> 00:47:57.280
What's this story about, Commander.

867
00:47:56.880 --> 00:47:59.920
Well, it concerns a middle aged business executive named Fremont,

868
00:48:00.079 --> 00:48:02.599
With it and Go. After spending his entire career with

869
00:48:02.639 --> 00:48:05.559
the same firm, returned home one evening with his dreams

870
00:48:05.559 --> 00:48:06.480
suddenly shattered.

871
00:48:07.199 --> 00:48:09.920
Is that you, Fremont? It's me Erica Fremont. You look

872
00:48:10.000 --> 00:48:10.559
so peaked.

873
00:48:10.679 --> 00:48:13.599
Erica, I've been fired that new plant manager. He's been

874
00:48:13.639 --> 00:48:15.559
trying to cut me out, and today he succeeded.

875
00:48:15.719 --> 00:48:17.639
Well, you don't need to give me that hang dog look,

876
00:48:17.719 --> 00:48:19.840
just go out and get another job. I'm through, Eric,

877
00:48:19.920 --> 00:48:22.599
I'm fifty eight years old. Nobody'll hire me for half

878
00:48:22.599 --> 00:48:25.000
the salary I've been making. My only hope is to

879
00:48:25.119 --> 00:48:26.119
kill the plant manager.

880
00:48:26.199 --> 00:48:26.679
Fremont.

881
00:48:26.719 --> 00:48:29.719
I hate rough stuff, but if you've decided, ross goes

882
00:48:29.800 --> 00:48:32.079
upstairs in the trunk, you load it and I'll walk

883

Young man.

885
00:48:35.440 --> 00:48:36.599
I'll love that for a story.

886
00:48:36.679 --> 00:48:38.519
Now I was a dilly commander, but you just can't

887
00:48:38.559 --> 00:48:39.199
leave us this way.

888
00:48:39.199 --> 00:48:39.960

me freshen up that hot tea for you. The night

914
00:51:07.039 --> 00:51:13.239
is so very cold, even as it's so hot during

915
00:51:13.280 --> 00:51:20.039
the day. Now, now the temperature is quite high. You

916
00:51:20.079 --> 00:51:23.360
can blow on it to cool it, and I won't

917
00:51:23.400 --> 00:51:25.880
believe you are the weakling.

918
00:51:27.039 --> 00:51:30.199
Wait a minute, have you heard the strange tales of

919
00:51:30.559 --> 00:51:31.239
the Whistler.

920
00:51:49.159 --> 00:51:50.480
I'm the whistler.

921
00:51:55.039 --> 00:51:57.039
I may be the district Attorney, but if my son

922
00:51:57.119 --> 00:51:59.000
is guilty, he can pay the penalty like anyone else.

923
00:52:00.079 --> 00:52:08.079
Secute him, then, Blake, I'll start on you Sunday night

924
00:52:08.320 --> 00:52:11.039
and again CBS presents of Westler.

925
00:52:16.559 --> 00:52:19.880
I the Whistler know many things, for I walk by night.

926
00:52:20.480 --> 00:52:23.360
I know many strange tales, many secrets hidden in the

927
00:52:23.400 --> 00:52:25.880
hearts of men and women who have stepped into the shadows.

928
00:52:27.119 --> 00:52:29.960
And so I tell you tonight the unusual story of

929
00:52:30.000 --> 00:52:34.559
the Weekling. Young Clyde Banning, son of District Attorney Banning,

930
00:52:34.639 --> 00:52:37.039
steps out of a nightclub following a gay New Year's

931
00:52:37.079 --> 00:52:40.400
Eve party. An expensive limousine pulls up to the curb

932
00:52:40.480 --> 00:52:44.000
and Clyde gets in. Clyde has done some careless driving

933
00:52:44.079 --> 00:52:47.559
lately had his driver's license revoked, and is now forced

934
00:52:47.559 --> 00:52:50.199
to be driven about by Rawlins, the family chauffeur.

935
00:52:52.679 --> 00:52:55.119
All right too, now, mister Benning, let's go home, Rawlings,

936
00:52:55.800 --> 00:52:58.599
not yet, Clyde, what.

937
00:52:58.480 --> 00:52:59.119
Are you doing in here?

938
00:52:59.199 --> 00:53:00.480
I thought you were still the club.

939
00:53:00.880 --> 00:53:02.400
I didn't think you even knew I was there.

940
00:53:02.559 --> 00:53:04.280
I saw you a couple of times.

941
00:53:04.280 --> 00:53:06.639
Why have you been avoiding me? Clyde? You know how

942
00:53:06.679 --> 00:53:10.800
it hurts me. What's happened? No, I won't go I

943
00:53:10.840 --> 00:53:14.000
won't be brushed off like this without an explanation. You

944
00:53:14.079 --> 00:53:16.519
know how much I love you, Clyde. I can't go

945
00:53:16.599 --> 00:53:17.639
on like this any longer.

946
00:53:18.000 --> 00:53:19.400
This is no time to make a scene.

947
00:53:19.679 --> 00:53:22.840
Clyde. You know you love me. Let's get married right

948
00:53:22.920 --> 00:53:23.599
now tonight.

949
00:53:23.639 --> 00:53:23.880
Please.

950
00:53:23.960 --> 00:53:25.079
Let's not talk about it now.

951
00:53:25.199 --> 00:53:26.440
I will talk about it now.

952
00:53:26.559 --> 00:53:27.280
Rolet's pull up.

953
00:53:27.320 --> 00:53:27.639
Please.

954
00:53:28.760 --> 00:53:30.360
I won't get out, Clide, I won't.

955
00:53:30.440 --> 00:53:32.440
I'll drive Rollins. You can take a camp home.

956
00:53:32.599 --> 00:53:35.360
You'll drive, but lit go on Rollins. I'll take miss Blake.

957
00:53:35.400 --> 00:53:39.159
Come, don't take me home. I've got to talk to you.

958
00:53:39.199 --> 00:53:41.800
Please drive down to the Ocean Highway.

959
00:53:42.679 --> 00:53:45.199
All right, all right? Cut out the melowdrammer.

960
00:53:57.000 --> 00:54:00.000
Why have you changed so, Clyde? Why can't we get married?

961
00:54:00.239 --> 00:54:03.280
You know as well as I My father is district

962
00:54:03.320 --> 00:54:06.039
attorney and he's out to crack that grass situation wide open.

963
00:54:06.440 --> 00:54:07.679
He knows who the big boss in the.

964
00:54:07.639 --> 00:54:09.800
Racket is and he's going to get his scalp send.

965
00:54:09.719 --> 00:54:10.280
Him to the pan.

966
00:54:10.440 --> 00:54:11.800
But what there to do with us?

967
00:54:11.920 --> 00:54:14.320
You know that Jim Blake is the big boss, your

968
00:54:14.360 --> 00:54:14.840
own father.

969
00:54:15.079 --> 00:54:16.559
We have our own lives to live.

970
00:54:16.599 --> 00:54:18.480
If I married you, Dad had throw me out of

971
00:54:18.519 --> 00:54:20.679
my ear that we could get along.

972
00:54:20.920 --> 00:54:23.679
How your father would have a dime when this is over.

973
00:54:24.480 --> 00:54:26.400
Besides Dad is up for re election.

974
00:54:26.719 --> 00:54:29.960
How would it looked DA's son marries convict's daughter.

975
00:54:30.559 --> 00:54:33.559
I thought you really loved me, but.

976
00:54:33.440 --> 00:54:36.039
I've always liked you Ellen, But it just won't work.

977
00:54:36.079 --> 00:54:37.000
It isn't fair to Dad.

978
00:54:37.239 --> 00:54:38.360
Then you don't want to marry me.

979
00:54:38.719 --> 00:54:40.559
I've told you how I feel about it.

980
00:54:40.800 --> 00:54:42.480
A ridiculous fool I've been.

981
00:54:42.519 --> 00:54:43.719
I don't stop that hysterical.

982
00:54:44.039 --> 00:54:45.840
I've hoped, against hope that you weren't trying to get

983
00:54:45.960 --> 00:54:46.519
rid of me, But.

984
00:54:46.480 --> 00:54:50.639
Now I know you're a low, stiless jellyfish.

985
00:54:50.960 --> 00:54:51.800
You didn't love me.

986
00:54:51.880 --> 00:54:54.280
You could not shove him. I won't stop. I wish

987
00:54:54.320 --> 00:54:55.239
everyone could hear me.

988
00:54:55.599 --> 00:54:57.199
Couldn't know what a despicable run?

989
00:55:01.800 --> 00:55:15.079
Helen good war? Ellen Ellen? What her fate?

990
00:55:16.239 --> 00:55:16.599
Ellen?

991
00:55:17.079 --> 00:55:18.199
Ellen Darley.

992
00:55:19.400 --> 00:55:23.159
Better get a doctor. Maybe she shouldn't move her.

993
00:55:23.719 --> 00:55:36.760
That's get help, Yes, Clyde, better get help. They're just

994
00:55:36.800 --> 00:55:40.239
ahead the low lights of the service station. Hurry, Clyde.

995
00:55:40.840 --> 00:55:46.079
Maybe she's still alive. What's the trouble, Clyde, you're slowing down?

996
00:55:46.519 --> 00:55:49.079
Oh they might think I did it. I think I

997
00:55:49.159 --> 00:55:52.679
pushed her out. She's dead, she must be.

998
00:55:54.320 --> 00:55:55.000
No one knows.

999
00:55:56.599 --> 00:55:56.880
Better.

1000
00:55:56.960 --> 00:55:57.400
Drive on.

1001
00:55:59.679 --> 00:56:03.360
You past it now, Clyde, you've really fixed things. Now

1002
00:56:04.239 --> 00:56:08.280
you should have stopped. Clyde's sphere increases with every mile.

1003
00:56:08.840 --> 00:56:11.559
He slips the car into the garage and hurries quietly.

1004
00:56:11.320 --> 00:56:12.599
To his room.

1005
00:56:12.639 --> 00:56:14.239
But he doesn't sleep, not a wink.

1006
00:56:15.000 --> 00:56:17.599
His head throbs, and with every thump of his heart,

1007
00:56:17.679 --> 00:56:19.440
Ellen's words ring in his ears.

1008
00:56:20.360 --> 00:56:24.159
Hidless jellyfish, low spinalss jells.

1009
00:56:25.320 --> 00:56:27.800
I didn't be PLEA.

1010
00:56:41.639 --> 00:56:45.440
District attorney Banning sits at breakfast with his attractive wife, Marsha.

1011
00:56:46.159 --> 00:56:50.440
Marsha is Clyde's stepmother. The district attorney scans his morning

1012
00:56:50.480 --> 00:56:53.840
paper as Clyde pale and worn slips into his place

1013
00:56:53.840 --> 00:56:54.440
at the table.

1014
00:56:55.199 --> 00:56:56.280
Hm.

1015
00:56:56.320 --> 00:56:57.599
When you think of that, what is it?

1016
00:56:57.639 --> 00:56:58.000
Henry?

1017
00:56:58.599 --> 00:57:01.480
Jim Blake's daughter was found I'm dead on the Ocean Highway.

1018
00:57:01.480 --> 00:57:05.199
Earlier this morning they found on the Ocean Highway. Good morning, son,

1019
00:57:05.679 --> 00:57:06.519
there you been well.

1020
00:57:06.960 --> 00:57:08.480
I guess I overslept.

1021
00:57:09.559 --> 00:57:10.960
Much as though you hadn't slept at all.

1022
00:57:11.159 --> 00:57:13.400
I have a big evening, too much champagne.

1023
00:57:13.559 --> 00:57:18.760
No, no, see that's terrible about Blake's daughter. What happened

1024
00:57:18.800 --> 00:57:19.039
to him?

1025
00:57:19.079 --> 00:57:21.199
I think she was thrown out of a car, probably

1026
00:57:21.239 --> 00:57:22.199
some enemy of Blake's.

1027
00:57:22.239 --> 00:57:24.760
I dare say he has plenty thrown out? Does it

1028
00:57:24.840 --> 00:57:25.800
say that? Yes?

1029
00:57:26.519 --> 00:57:28.280
And I'd better go down to the office. And maybe

1030
00:57:28.280 --> 00:57:31.199
she jumped out, Not likely, venture to say she was

1031
00:57:31.239 --> 00:57:31.679
pushed out?

1032
00:57:31.679 --> 00:57:34.440
All right, Why don't you have some coffee, Clyde, help

1033
00:57:34.480 --> 00:57:35.119
that hangover?

1034
00:57:35.159 --> 00:57:36.360
I haven't got a hangover.

1035
00:57:37.599 --> 00:57:41.000
The name Heaven's wrong with you? Better take some aspirin, Son,

1036
00:57:41.079 --> 00:57:41.599
go back to bed.

1037
00:57:42.800 --> 00:57:45.360
You're going to the office today. It's New Year's Day.

1038
00:57:45.920 --> 00:57:47.239
Never go down there on a holiday.

1039
00:57:47.320 --> 00:57:50.880
Going down for an hour or so little upset your plans, Manny.

1040
00:57:50.719 --> 00:57:53.159
Chance, I haven't got any plans. And what's bothering you.

1041
00:57:53.199 --> 00:57:55.800
Something's wrong with you, something's wrong with me, and nothing's

1042
00:57:55.800 --> 00:57:56.800
bought the moment.

1043
00:57:56.880 --> 00:57:57.639
Who are you shouting?

1044
00:57:58.519 --> 00:58:00.360
I'm not shouting at think you'd better go went back

1045
00:58:00.400 --> 00:58:02.159
to your room, go to bed. You're a bit too

1046
00:58:02.199 --> 00:58:06.400
unpleasant to suit me. I'm sorry, sorry, Marsha. All right, Darling,

1047
00:58:06.840 --> 00:58:07.719
I'll feel all right.

1048
00:58:07.599 --> 00:58:10.679
After a while because I did have too much Champagne.

1049
00:58:11.320 --> 00:58:13.840
Never seen Clyde like this, He've only.

1050
00:58:13.639 --> 00:58:14.159
Been around me.

1051
00:58:14.239 --> 00:58:17.039
Yeah, Martian, he's a moodie type, has spells, but he's

1052
00:58:17.039 --> 00:58:21.840
a good boy. You learn all his little question time. Yeah,

1053
00:58:22.000 --> 00:58:24.159
I'll run along, Darling, be back in an hour.

1054
00:58:24.320 --> 00:58:35.119
So I beg your pardners to Clyde.

1055
00:58:35.360 --> 00:58:35.679
Eh?

1056
00:58:35.760 --> 00:58:36.119
What is it?

1057
00:58:36.199 --> 00:58:37.719
Thompson rawlins the chauffeur.

1058
00:58:37.719 --> 00:58:38.719
I would like to see you, sir.

1059
00:58:39.000 --> 00:58:41.159
Oh yeah, all right, send him in.

1060
00:58:41.519 --> 00:58:42.960
You see your Rollins?

1061
00:58:43.599 --> 00:58:44.480
What do you want? Rolin?

1062
00:58:44.719 --> 00:58:49.159
I have a little talk with your client? Eh, what's

1063
00:58:49.159 --> 00:58:49.760
on your mind?

1064
00:58:50.960 --> 00:58:53.159
Where did you go last night after you dismissed me?

1065
00:58:53.800 --> 00:58:56.079
What business is that of yours? I just thought i'd

1066
00:58:56.079 --> 00:58:59.119
ask him getting around two thirty? Didn't your client part

1067
00:58:59.119 --> 00:59:01.679
of it? But maybe you knew what happened to Ellen Blake.

1068
00:59:02.239 --> 00:59:04.599
I took her home. What happened after that? I don't know.

1069
00:59:04.800 --> 00:59:07.000
She kind of put the pressure on you, didn't she

1070
00:59:07.719 --> 00:59:10.079
What do you mean I heard her, heard every word

1071
00:59:10.119 --> 00:59:14.800
you both said. She said she was determined to get married. Why, well,

1072
00:59:14.800 --> 00:59:16.440
it wouldn't be so good for you if I was

1073
00:59:16.440 --> 00:59:20.360
to tell about her last night. Oh oh, you made

1074
00:59:20.360 --> 00:59:22.320
a big mistake when you let me out of that car.

1075
00:59:23.039 --> 00:59:25.400
You let me drive her home? Why you might not

1076
00:59:25.519 --> 00:59:27.280
be in this Jack who said I was in a jat?

1077
00:59:27.360 --> 00:59:29.920
I say, so, what did you do?

1078
00:59:30.000 --> 00:59:32.000
Tell what you know? That doesn't prove anything?

1079
00:59:32.280 --> 00:59:34.239
Oh I got better proof than that.

1080
00:59:34.400 --> 00:59:38.559
Why Elen Blake's handbag I found in the car this morning.

1081
00:59:39.199 --> 00:59:43.119
Here it is her initials on it, some personal effects inside.

1082
00:59:43.320 --> 00:59:44.440
Yeah.

1083
00:59:44.719 --> 00:59:46.480
Now, I'm the only one who knows about all this.

1084
00:59:46.599 --> 00:59:49.199
If I talk, you certainly get a ropeer on your neck.

1085
00:59:49.280 --> 00:59:51.320
I didn't kill her she jumped off.

1086
00:59:52.280 --> 00:59:52.960
Can you prove that?

1087
00:59:54.400 --> 00:59:54.559
Well?

1088
00:59:55.360 --> 00:59:57.360
If I tell about the argument establish a time, you

1089
00:59:57.400 --> 00:59:59.360
wouldn't have a chance. I didn't kill a right Chad,

1090
01:00:00.039 --> 01:00:05.679
as I try and convincing a jury on that. Oh yeah,

1091
01:00:05.760 --> 01:00:07.239
but you know I don't have to say a word

1092
01:00:07.280 --> 01:00:10.599
about it, Clyde, Why should you it all depends on you.

1093
01:00:11.800 --> 01:00:12.400
What do you want?

1094
01:00:12.920 --> 01:00:16.320
Oh, I could use little money? How much two or

1095
01:00:16.360 --> 01:00:19.239
three thousand dollars? Where would I get that much? To

1096
01:00:19.360 --> 01:00:20.639
get nice allowance every month?

1097
01:00:21.400 --> 01:00:24.079
You're a dirty rat rawlins. I didn't like your looks,

1098
01:00:24.079 --> 01:00:26.079
and you came here three weeks ago. I thought you

1099
01:00:26.079 --> 01:00:28.719
would looked like a crook. I'll have you five.

1100
01:00:28.559 --> 01:00:29.599
I don't think you will.

1101
01:00:30.199 --> 01:00:33.840
You can't afford to do I get the handbag until

1102
01:00:33.880 --> 01:00:34.760
you pay off in full.

1103
01:00:35.519 --> 01:00:37.480
Suppose I tell you to go to the debt.

1104
01:00:37.320 --> 01:00:40.239
And you'll be in Chaire within an hour. I mean business.

1105
01:00:41.159 --> 01:00:44.800
Okay, okay, I'll pay as much as I can each month.

1106
01:00:44.960 --> 01:00:46.639
I don't want to wait too long.

1107
01:00:46.760 --> 01:00:49.800
I'll try to get as soon as possible. I want

1108
01:00:49.840 --> 01:00:50.519
that handbag.

1109
01:00:50.760 --> 01:00:59.199
You'll get a kid when I get to three thousand.

1110
01:01:02.320 --> 01:01:03.440
Good afternoon, madam.

1111
01:01:04.559 --> 01:01:06.719
What do you mean coming into my room without knocking?

1112
01:01:06.760 --> 01:01:08.239
And how is madame today?

1113
01:01:08.440 --> 01:01:09.159
Who do you want?

1114
01:01:09.320 --> 01:01:09.719
I wonder?

1115
01:01:09.760 --> 01:01:10.840
Wish you a happy new year?

1116
01:01:11.199 --> 01:01:13.679
What of all the nerve you get out of here?

1117
01:01:13.760 --> 01:01:17.000
John, don't get excited. I thought you might like to

1118
01:01:17.000 --> 01:01:17.440
talk to me.

1119
01:01:17.960 --> 01:01:20.639
What do you mean I've got a little information that

1120
01:01:21.360 --> 01:01:22.360
might be of interest to you?

1121
01:01:23.239 --> 01:01:26.159
Information? What are you talking about I'm.

1122
01:01:26.039 --> 01:01:26.960
Talking about Clyde?

1123
01:01:27.119 --> 01:01:27.760
What about him?

1124
01:01:28.519 --> 01:01:30.719
And I was just wondering what would happen if your

1125
01:01:30.760 --> 01:01:34.639
husband had to prosecute his own son for the murder

1126
01:01:34.679 --> 01:01:37.199
and the daughter of the man he's out to break?

1127
01:01:38.039 --> 01:01:39.159
Are you crazy?

1128
01:01:39.960 --> 01:01:40.599
What do you mean?

1129
01:01:41.280 --> 01:01:44.440
Clyde murdered Ellen Blake? Threw her out of the curve.

1130
01:01:44.559 --> 01:01:47.639
What How do you know that she was in love

1131
01:01:47.639 --> 01:01:51.000
with Clyde. He was trying to shake her. I drove

1132
01:01:51.039 --> 01:01:53.960
him away from the nightclub last evening. They had a

1133
01:01:54.079 --> 01:01:58.000
very serious argument and then he let me out and drove.

1134
01:01:57.760 --> 01:01:58.519
The car himself.

1135
01:01:59.079 --> 01:02:00.000
That doesn't mean anything.

1136
01:02:00.039 --> 01:02:03.519
Ellen Blake was killed about one am. Clyde came in

1137
01:02:03.559 --> 01:02:07.719
about two good Heavens this morning. I found his handbag

1138
01:02:07.760 --> 01:02:12.159
in the cards Elan Blake's. If I were to tell

1139
01:02:12.159 --> 01:02:14.360
what I know about it and produce his handbag, Clyde

1140
01:02:14.400 --> 01:02:16.400
would have a rope placed around his neck by his

1141
01:02:16.400 --> 01:02:19.679
own father. I doubt very much that DA would ever

1142
01:02:19.679 --> 01:02:20.320
be re elected.

1143
01:02:20.400 --> 01:02:21.800
How could Clyde do such a thing?

1144
01:02:22.760 --> 01:02:24.760
Lost his head? She was pretty insistent.

1145
01:02:25.199 --> 01:02:29.760
But you don't have to say anything about this boy.

1146
01:02:30.000 --> 01:02:30.880
I wouldn't have to.

1147
01:02:31.159 --> 01:02:32.639
This came out. Henry would be ruined.

1148
01:02:32.719 --> 01:02:34.159
That's just what I mean.

1149
01:02:35.480 --> 01:02:37.719
You wouldn't want that to happen, would you.

1150
01:02:37.760 --> 01:02:37.920
No?

1151
01:02:38.639 --> 01:02:41.719
And it's all up to you, up to me. Yes,

1152
01:02:41.920 --> 01:02:44.280
if I cover up a murder, it might affect my conscience.

1153
01:02:45.079 --> 01:02:49.480
I might worry a lot, but my conscience might be said,

1154
01:02:50.440 --> 01:02:52.599
what do you want? Hall had ought to be worth

1155
01:02:52.639 --> 01:02:53.880
about three thousand dollars to.

1156
01:02:53.920 --> 01:02:57.079
Be Why that's ridiculous. I have no such amount and

1157
01:02:57.239 --> 01:02:59.199
get it. How could I explain what I wanted with

1158
01:02:59.239 --> 01:02:59.960
three thousand dollars?

1159
01:03:00.199 --> 01:03:02.119
That's your worry, not mine. Baby.

1160
01:03:02.199 --> 01:03:04.199
Do you know what they can do to you for blackmails?

1161
01:03:04.639 --> 01:03:08.039
This isn't blackmail, honey. Oh, I'm not threatening to divorce

1162
01:03:08.079 --> 01:03:12.559
someone's past. It's bigger than that. As a matter of fact,

1163
01:03:12.679 --> 01:03:15.039
you're going to bribe me to withhold a piece of

1164
01:03:15.079 --> 01:03:15.960
important evidence.

1165
01:03:16.920 --> 01:03:19.199
So you see, I hold the aces.

1166
01:03:19.480 --> 01:03:23.199
Get out of here, Get out, okay.

1167
01:03:24.119 --> 01:03:25.719
But I know somebody was a lot of dough and

1168
01:03:25.760 --> 01:03:27.880
I just as soon turned the information over to Blake

1169
01:03:28.000 --> 01:03:28.800
as anyone else.

1170
01:03:29.519 --> 01:03:30.679
I just wanted to give you a break.

1171
01:03:33.119 --> 01:03:34.519
How about this, to have embraced it?

1172
01:03:34.800 --> 01:03:37.920
Oh yeah, that'll help, but it'll be hard to get

1173
01:03:38.039 --> 01:03:39.840
rid of. I'd rather have cash, all right.

1174
01:03:39.840 --> 01:03:41.320
I'll give you these diamonds and you can hold them

1175
01:03:41.360 --> 01:03:42.400
until guy get the cash.

1176
01:03:42.639 --> 01:03:46.440
Fair enough, hand them over. Thanks.

1177
01:03:47.599 --> 01:03:50.679
You know, I thought i'd well, but you'd see things

1178
01:03:50.679 --> 01:03:51.320
in the right way.

1179
01:03:52.280 --> 01:03:56.159
Goodbye, honey, Get out of here, you rotten a thief.

1180
01:03:57.079 --> 01:03:58.559
Oh listen to it.

1181
01:04:03.320 --> 01:04:06.599
As the days pass, Clyde and Marsha are both turning

1182
01:04:06.639 --> 01:04:08.960
over every cent they can get hold of to Rawlins.

1183
01:04:09.639 --> 01:04:11.519
But the going is difficult and.

1184
01:04:11.480 --> 01:04:18.559
Rollins becomes more insistent, and one day Clyde gets a

1185
01:04:18.559 --> 01:04:21.639
message to visit the big Boss, Jim Blake, Ellen's father.

1186
01:04:22.840 --> 01:04:25.559
I was told you want to see me, mister Blay.

1187
01:04:25.920 --> 01:04:29.400
Yeah, sit down, kid, think everything working out all right?

1188
01:04:30.400 --> 01:04:32.800
What do you mean you look a little worried kid.

1189
01:04:33.400 --> 01:04:36.639
I thought maybe something is disturbing your sleep. Oh well,

1190
01:04:36.679 --> 01:04:37.920
I've been having headaches.

1191
01:04:37.960 --> 01:04:40.960
I thinks my eyes been seeing things. Have you in

1192
01:04:41.000 --> 01:04:41.400
the dark?

1193
01:04:41.519 --> 01:04:43.360
No, I haven't been seeing things. I don't know what

1194
01:04:43.400 --> 01:04:44.960
you're getting at. Nothing's bothering me.

1195
01:04:45.920 --> 01:04:48.800
Just when was it that you started meeting my daughter Ellen?

1196
01:04:50.760 --> 01:04:53.760
I don't know what you mean quickly and I found

1197
01:04:53.760 --> 01:04:55.760
out about it today? Who told you such a thing?

1198
01:04:55.840 --> 01:04:57.360
Does your father know about you? And Ellen?

1199
01:04:57.960 --> 01:04:58.599
Be not ill?

1200
01:04:58.639 --> 01:04:59.159
Look here.

1201
01:05:00.000 --> 01:05:02.400
You think you can stop fathering this investigation by trying

1202
01:05:02.400 --> 01:05:04.559
to frame something on me. You're crazy. You can't get

1203
01:05:04.559 --> 01:05:07.360
away with it. I'll spill the whole thing. Well, yes

1204
01:05:07.440 --> 01:05:10.360
I will. You're a crook, and my father gets through

1205
01:05:10.360 --> 01:05:11.440
with you, you'll be behind the.

1206
01:05:11.400 --> 01:05:12.760
Bars for the rest of your life.

1207
01:05:12.880 --> 01:05:16.000
When I'm put behind bars, kids, you'll be dangling.

1208
01:05:15.559 --> 01:05:16.440
From the end of a room.

1209
01:05:18.079 --> 01:05:19.960
What are you trying to accuse me of the murder

1210
01:05:19.960 --> 01:05:23.480
of my daughter? But I didn't kill could you prove?

1211
01:05:23.519 --> 01:05:26.079
Then there's no proof that I did. I've got a witness, kid,

1212
01:05:26.079 --> 01:05:28.559
and he's ready to talk when I say the word witness.

1213
01:05:28.719 --> 01:05:29.599
That's ridiculous.

1214
01:05:30.480 --> 01:05:32.400
Why should I want to kill Ellen because she was

1215
01:05:32.440 --> 01:05:33.760
in love with you and you wanted to shake her

1216
01:05:33.800 --> 01:05:35.920
because you were afraid your father would kick if you

1217
01:05:36.039 --> 01:05:38.159
married her. Your father's out to get me, and I'm

1218
01:05:38.199 --> 01:05:40.320
determined to beat him to the draw. I didn't kill right.

1219
01:05:40.679 --> 01:05:42.880
Ellen left that night club with your car New Year's Eve.

1220
01:05:43.039 --> 01:05:45.000
You had an argument she wanted to get married. When

1221
01:05:45.000 --> 01:05:46.840
she got too insistent, you dismissed the show for her

1222
01:05:46.880 --> 01:05:49.559
and drove the car yourself and out on the Ocean Highway.

1223
01:05:49.599 --> 01:05:51.199
You threw her out on the rocks. I didn't.

1224
01:05:51.239 --> 01:05:52.199
I didn't just stop.

1225
01:05:52.280 --> 01:05:54.440
Did you look at her, her face mangled of a pulp,

1226
01:05:54.599 --> 01:05:56.039
her body broken to bits.

1227
01:05:55.800 --> 01:05:57.840
On those rocks. You didn't do it, I swear I didn't.

1228
01:05:57.840 --> 01:05:59.960
I've got a witness to the argument at the time. Element.

1229
01:06:01.039 --> 01:06:02.079
You can't scare me.

1230
01:06:02.360 --> 01:06:05.679
I just talked to Rowlins, just your for He knows

1231
01:06:05.719 --> 01:06:07.599
what time you got in, and he found Ellen's purse

1232
01:06:07.639 --> 01:06:09.320
in the car. I don't believe it.

1233
01:06:10.960 --> 01:06:12.239
The purse. Rawlins has it.

1234
01:06:12.599 --> 01:06:14.599
He'll produce it when you get the trial, and your

1235
01:06:14.599 --> 01:06:16.280
own father will have to prosecute you.

1236
01:06:16.559 --> 01:06:19.920
Oh, I'll enjoy that too. Bad about that purse. Kid.

1237
01:06:20.159 --> 01:06:22.719
If you'd found the person Rawlins didn't know what he knows,

1238
01:06:23.119 --> 01:06:25.000
you might have gotten away with it. But you just

1239
01:06:25.000 --> 01:06:27.800
stuck now, stuck with Rawlins and the purse, and your

1240
01:06:27.840 --> 01:06:30.360
own father will have to tie the rope around your neck.

1241
01:06:30.480 --> 01:06:33.360
Rawlins is a liar. It'll hold in course. Jury will

1242
01:06:33.360 --> 01:06:36.400
believe it's a dirty liar. I could kill him, kill

1243
01:06:36.440 --> 01:06:38.480
him you. You wouldn't do that.

1244
01:06:38.679 --> 01:06:39.159
He isn't fit.

1245
01:06:40.159 --> 01:06:40.760
You want either.

1246
01:06:41.119 --> 01:06:42.559
But I'm going to give you a chance to keep

1247
01:06:42.599 --> 01:06:45.039
out of the noose. I'll keep Rawlins from talking. If

1248
01:06:45.039 --> 01:06:49.280
you get me a couple of letters. What letters your

1249
01:06:49.320 --> 01:06:51.960
father has them? They have my signature on them. You

1250
01:06:52.000 --> 01:06:54.760
can get them very easily. You get those papers and

1251
01:06:54.800 --> 01:06:57.199
I'll put the quietors on Rollins. They're addressed to the

1252
01:06:57.239 --> 01:07:00.519
county supervisor. Your father intends to use them against me.

1253
01:07:01.039 --> 01:07:04.039
I want them. Is that Claire here? You get the

1254
01:07:04.079 --> 01:07:07.559
papers and we're both in the Claire understand, yeah, he understand.

1255
01:07:07.760 --> 01:07:08.199
All right.

1256
01:07:08.599 --> 01:07:11.400
I'll give you till tomorrow evening at six o'clock. You

1257
01:07:11.480 --> 01:07:16.000
can go now. Yeah, remember six o'clock tomorrow night.

1258
01:07:23.079 --> 01:07:27.599
Saturday night passes, then Sunday dawns were the most stumbling

1259
01:07:27.679 --> 01:07:33.719
discovery Rollins. The chauffeur has been found dead, shot to

1260
01:07:33.760 --> 01:07:35.440
death in his apartment.

1261
01:07:34.920 --> 01:07:35.960
Over the garage.

1262
01:07:36.679 --> 01:07:42.079
No evidence is discovered, no weapon, no fingerprints, nothing. Now

1263
01:07:42.119 --> 01:07:44.880
it is late afternoon. Oh this is a fine mess,

1264
01:07:45.280 --> 01:07:46.360
a murder in my own home.

1265
01:07:46.440 --> 01:07:48.719
Everything will come out, all right, Henry. You're certain to

1266
01:07:48.760 --> 01:07:49.800
find the person who did it.

1267
01:07:49.800 --> 01:07:52.559
Oh yeah, see he may have had some enemies. After all,

1268
01:07:52.719 --> 01:07:55.039
we know very little about him. He's only been here

1269
01:07:55.039 --> 01:07:57.480
a short while, don't you understand. I'm the district attorney.

1270
01:07:58.119 --> 01:08:01.199
Murder has been committed in my own home. Why if

1271
01:08:01.199 --> 01:08:02.840
I can't bring this to a solution, I'll be a

1272
01:08:02.880 --> 01:08:03.559
laughing stock.

1273
01:08:03.960 --> 01:08:05.039
I'll never be reelected.

1274
01:08:05.079 --> 01:08:06.239
We're trying to help you here.

1275
01:08:07.199 --> 01:08:09.800
I don't know what I'm going to do, but this

1276
01:08:09.880 --> 01:08:12.280
has got to be kept from the police department. Once

1277
01:08:12.320 --> 01:08:14.159
they get into it, it'll be plastered all over the

1278
01:08:14.159 --> 01:08:19.000
front pages of every newspaper in town. Yes, I'll have

1279
01:08:19.000 --> 01:08:20.199
to have a list of my own office.

1280
01:08:20.239 --> 01:08:22.079
Well, neither one of us has been out of the

1281
01:08:22.119 --> 01:08:23.520
house and we haven't told anyone.

1282
01:08:23.760 --> 01:08:24.720
What are you worried about?

1283
01:08:24.920 --> 01:08:27.600
Surely a man like Rawlins could have had many enemies.

1284
01:08:28.279 --> 01:08:30.720
Who knows what he did mixed up in a Captain

1285
01:08:30.800 --> 01:08:35.479
Stone to see you, mister Banning. Captain, Oh yeah, so

1286
01:08:35.560 --> 01:08:36.319
I was afraid of that.

1287
01:08:37.439 --> 01:08:39.319
All right, show me.

1288
01:08:39.239 --> 01:08:44.439
In afternoon, mister Banning. Good after noon, Captain Stone. Well

1289
01:08:45.079 --> 01:08:47.800
what are you doing out this way? We heard about

1290
01:08:47.840 --> 01:08:48.640
your chauffeur?

1291
01:08:49.279 --> 01:08:51.920
Really? Who told you?

1292
01:08:52.000 --> 01:08:57.199
Oh, friend, body hasn't been moved at it? No, No

1293
01:08:57.319 --> 01:09:01.000
one'spector Stone if hasn't still in the room over the garage.

1294
01:09:01.399 --> 01:09:04.119
I'll come on, Scotan, let's have a look. You don't mind,

1295
01:09:04.119 --> 01:09:09.079
do you, mister Banning? Wye, No, of course, Nat, thank you.

1296
01:09:09.520 --> 01:09:10.640
He'll be back in the morning.

1297
01:09:11.039 --> 01:09:11.439
All right.

1298
01:09:13.199 --> 01:09:16.720
You know, I did a strange feeling that Jim Blake

1299
01:09:16.800 --> 01:09:17.600
knows something about this.

1300
01:09:17.680 --> 01:09:20.359
Why do you think that?

1301
01:09:20.640 --> 01:09:24.319
I don't know. He's just the type to think of

1302
01:09:24.319 --> 01:09:28.119
something like this. He is a perfect setup for him

1303
01:09:28.359 --> 01:09:29.640
to murder in my own home.

1304
01:09:30.479 --> 01:09:31.600
Nothing would please him better.

1305
01:09:31.880 --> 01:09:33.760
Why would Blake resort to anything like this?

1306
01:09:34.000 --> 01:09:34.239
Why?

1307
01:09:35.399 --> 01:09:37.159
Because my dear Blake is in a tough spot.

1308
01:09:38.319 --> 01:09:38.760
Yes.

1309
01:09:39.359 --> 01:09:41.159
The more I think about it, the more right I

1310
01:09:41.159 --> 01:09:44.560
think I am. Well, I'm going to have a talk

1311
01:09:44.560 --> 01:09:44.880
with him.

1312
01:09:46.000 --> 01:09:47.479
I don't think Blake had anything to do with it.

1313
01:09:47.680 --> 01:09:50.479
Really, what do you know about it?

1314
01:09:50.600 --> 01:09:50.920
Nothing?

1315
01:09:51.319 --> 01:09:53.039
Please allow me to handle this in my own way.

1316
01:09:53.159 --> 01:09:55.000
Hey, why must you be so harsh?

1317
01:09:55.119 --> 01:09:58.399
I'm sorry, father, I think you should keep away from Blake.

1318
01:09:58.520 --> 01:10:01.680
WHI I don't know, I think you should.

1319
01:10:02.359 --> 01:10:06.039
Yes, Well, when I want your opinion, son, I'll ask

1320
01:10:06.159 --> 01:10:17.119
for it. Well, here you are, mister Banning.

1321
01:10:17.359 --> 01:10:17.960
We found it?

1322
01:10:18.119 --> 01:10:21.800
Found what found this revolver behind the garage? Well, oh,

1323
01:10:21.880 --> 01:10:24.840
don't touch it. We want to check the fingerprints. Of

1324
01:10:24.880 --> 01:10:26.479
course I know better than to touch it.

1325
01:10:26.600 --> 01:10:30.680
Fingerprints Maybe they're none, honest, we'll check it just the same. Well,

1326
01:10:30.960 --> 01:10:32.680
the killer would be a fool to leave his prince

1327
01:10:32.760 --> 01:10:35.359
on the gun. How do you know it is the gun?

1328
01:10:35.560 --> 01:10:38.800
We'll find out, ballistics will know how I know who

1329
01:10:38.800 --> 01:10:39.680
the gun belongs to.

1330
01:10:40.159 --> 01:10:43.399
Maybe it isn't the gun. We already know who killed him.

1331
01:10:43.399 --> 01:10:44.520
All we need is proof.

1332
01:10:44.720 --> 01:10:46.840
No, how do you know who did it? Your son

1333
01:10:46.920 --> 01:10:49.960
did it? We were tipped off, my sh that's right?

1334
01:10:50.560 --> 01:10:53.119
Are you crazy? I should alide kill him? He hardly

1335
01:10:53.199 --> 01:10:53.439
knew me.

1336
01:10:53.560 --> 01:10:55.840
Look, mister Banning, you think i'd come to your house

1337
01:10:55.880 --> 01:10:56.399
snooping around?

1338
01:10:56.439 --> 01:10:57.520
Nless? I had a very good reason.

1339
01:10:58.640 --> 01:11:02.520
Where did you get your tipped I rather not say

1340
01:11:02.600 --> 01:11:04.520
who's his friend? Come on, you'd better tell me. I'll

1341
01:11:04.560 --> 01:11:06.560
bring it out eventually. All I know is that we

1342
01:11:06.560 --> 01:11:08.840
were tipped off about the murder and told who did it.

1343
01:11:09.319 --> 01:11:11.039
Your son threatened to kill Rawlin.

1344
01:11:11.159 --> 01:11:11.800
Who told you that?

1345
01:11:11.920 --> 01:11:14.560
Jim Blake? He heard him say it. Where did you

1346
01:11:14.560 --> 01:11:15.079
see Blake?

1347
01:11:15.079 --> 01:11:17.840
Clyde? I don't know what you mean, ask Jim Blake.

1348
01:11:18.039 --> 01:11:20.520
Come on, Skelton, let's check that gun with ballistics.

1349
01:11:27.560 --> 01:11:30.640
A few hours later, Boss Jim Blake stands in the

1350
01:11:30.680 --> 01:11:34.199
study facing the district attorney. There is a tense moment

1351
01:11:34.199 --> 01:11:36.000
as each waits for the other to speak.

1352
01:11:37.720 --> 01:11:39.640
Well, Bennie, what do you want? I know what you're

1353
01:11:39.640 --> 01:11:41.800
trying to pull, Blake. You're trying to get me by

1354
01:11:41.800 --> 01:11:44.159
framing my son with a murder. I'm not trying to

1355
01:11:44.199 --> 01:11:46.159
frame him. I just told the police that I heard

1356
01:11:46.199 --> 01:11:48.560
Clyde threaten to kill Rawlin. So far, there's nothing but

1357
01:11:48.600 --> 01:11:51.680
circumstantial evidence. Clyde had no reason to kill Rawlings, and

1358
01:11:51.760 --> 01:11:54.880
without a motive, Clyde's in the clear. Yeah, you had

1359
01:11:54.920 --> 01:11:57.159
a scheme in mind to force me to drop that investigation.

1360
01:11:57.239 --> 01:12:00.239
Then your scheme went haywire. You pulled a boner money.

1361
01:12:00.279 --> 01:12:00.920
Are mein bonner?

1362
01:12:01.119 --> 01:12:03.640
If Clyde had threatened Rowlin's life, the natural thing for

1363
01:12:03.640 --> 01:12:05.399
a man in your situation to have done was to

1364
01:12:05.439 --> 01:12:08.159
approach me instead of the police. Why, well, you wanted

1365
01:12:08.199 --> 01:12:10.560
those letters, didn't you? How could you possibly make a

1366
01:12:10.560 --> 01:12:12.920
deal for those letters? Now that you've made your information puppet,

1367
01:12:14.239 --> 01:12:16.960
I'm away ahead of you, Vanning. I'm not so dumb

1368
01:12:17.000 --> 01:12:20.000
as are that. I'm still holding the aces. What the

1369
01:12:20.039 --> 01:12:22.720
one's I'll throw down for the letter. I think you're bluffing, Blake.

1370
01:12:22.920 --> 01:12:25.840
I know why Clyde killed Rawlins. I can supply the motive.

1371
01:12:26.039 --> 01:12:27.960
I'll admit that without the motive, he'd being the clear.

1372
01:12:28.199 --> 01:12:30.800
But if I spilled the motive, he crank in five minutes.

1373
01:12:30.840 --> 01:12:32.640
I still think you're bluffing. I know you've got a

1374
01:12:32.680 --> 01:12:34.920
sense case against me with those letters, but with what

1375
01:12:35.039 --> 01:12:37.560
I know, I've got a sense case against your son

1376
01:12:37.600 --> 01:12:39.800
that will send him to the gallows. Not only that,

1377
01:12:40.039 --> 01:12:42.479
but if I do spill it, you wouldn't dare show

1378
01:12:42.560 --> 01:12:46.039
your face in this town yet. Uh sounds pretty gruesome.

1379
01:12:46.520 --> 01:12:49.079
I can't imagine what it could possibly be. I'll say

1380
01:12:49.119 --> 01:12:51.560
you can't. Clyde is really in it up to his neck.

1381
01:12:51.640 --> 01:12:53.359
You really think he's guilty.

1382
01:12:53.119 --> 01:12:55.359
Certainly, But whether he is or not, he had the motive.

1383
01:12:55.800 --> 01:12:57.960
The motive for killing Rawlins will lead to something that

1384
01:12:58.000 --> 01:12:59.279
can be definitely proved.

1385
01:12:59.279 --> 01:13:00.720
You mean material I.

1386
01:13:00.680 --> 01:13:03.600
Do so in order to prosecute me, you'll be forced

1387
01:13:03.640 --> 01:13:04.760
to prosecute.

1388
01:13:04.279 --> 01:13:06.159
Your own son. I'll see to that.

1389
01:13:06.640 --> 01:13:06.800
Now.

1390
01:13:06.800 --> 01:13:08.319
You hand over those letters and we'll.

1391
01:13:08.199 --> 01:13:09.039
All be in the clear.

1392
01:13:09.479 --> 01:13:13.119
Believe me, Banning, I'm not bluffing, Blake.

1393
01:13:13.720 --> 01:13:15.560
If you're telling the truth, then we're both in a

1394
01:13:15.640 --> 01:13:19.319
very unfortunate position. You're a crook and I happen to

1395
01:13:19.319 --> 01:13:22.239
be a stickler for duty. I can't be bribed.

1396
01:13:22.359 --> 01:13:24.800
You mean you'd actually prosecute your own son.

1397
01:13:24.920 --> 01:13:27.760
I do, and if he's guilt, he can take the consequences.

1398
01:13:28.079 --> 01:13:29.880
I don't believe he is, but I know you are.

1399
01:13:30.119 --> 01:13:32.880
I think you and I still think you're bluffing. I'll

1400
01:13:32.880 --> 01:13:35.119
call you a bluff all right, but you'll change your

1401
01:13:35.119 --> 01:13:37.800
mind banning. If you don't, you're a bigger fool than

1402
01:13:37.800 --> 01:13:38.720
I've ever come across.

1403
01:13:38.800 --> 01:13:39.199
Let's have it.

1404
01:13:39.319 --> 01:13:43.880
Get your son in here, all right, Marsha, Bring Clyde

1405
01:13:43.920 --> 01:13:47.880
in here. What a sack you are banning over a

1406
01:13:47.880 --> 01:13:52.880
couple of punk letters duty, not of bouchois. Oh you

1407
01:13:52.920 --> 01:13:57.079
can come in too, Musha, What are you doing here? Well, Kin,

1408
01:13:57.119 --> 01:13:59.359
I've been having a little chat with you all righteous father.

1409
01:13:59.520 --> 01:14:02.359
He sent for me. He's a little stupid. He wants

1410
01:14:02.359 --> 01:14:05.880
to be enlightened. Maybe you can help him. Yeah, Clad,

1411
01:14:05.880 --> 01:14:07.680
I understand you paid a visit to mister Blake.

1412
01:14:08.680 --> 01:14:11.520
I better tell him, Clyde, what were you doing there, Clyde?

1413
01:14:11.760 --> 01:14:15.840
Well Blake said for him. Why he wanted to talk

1414
01:14:15.880 --> 01:14:16.079
to me?

1415
01:14:16.079 --> 01:14:16.800
What about.

1416
01:14:18.119 --> 01:14:19.399
About what you've been saying?

1417
01:14:19.479 --> 01:14:23.279
I told him what you said to me about Rolin?

1418
01:14:22.359 --> 01:14:26.279
What did you say, Clyde, nothing, he's lying, lying about what.

1419
01:14:26.319 --> 01:14:29.199
We haven't said anything yet. He tried to get me

1420
01:14:29.239 --> 01:14:32.079
to steal some steal something? No getting something? What did

1421
01:14:32.119 --> 01:14:33.600
you steal some letters out of my safe?

1422
01:14:33.680 --> 01:14:33.880
Yes?

1423
01:14:34.000 --> 01:14:37.760
Yes, he offered me a lot of money. Money. I

1424
01:14:37.840 --> 01:14:40.680
didn't even mention money. I didn't ask she did. What

1425
01:14:40.800 --> 01:14:42.039
inducement would money be to you?

1426
01:14:42.119 --> 01:14:42.479
Clyde?

1427
01:14:42.479 --> 01:14:45.079
You always get everything you want. I offered you something

1428
01:14:45.119 --> 01:14:47.680
better than money, kid, But was it? Clyde? He threatened me,

1429
01:14:47.960 --> 01:14:50.319
threatened to kill me. How do you like that?

1430
01:14:50.600 --> 01:14:52.960
You're in a tough spot, kid, You better start talking.

1431
01:14:53.199 --> 01:14:54.359
You threatened to kill Rollin.

1432
01:14:54.399 --> 01:14:55.920
I did not I heard you. Why did you make

1433
01:14:55.920 --> 01:14:56.359
that threat?

1434
01:14:56.359 --> 01:14:57.319
Well, I was just talking.

1435
01:14:57.359 --> 01:14:59.479
I didn't mean it. I couldn't kill anybody. But you

1436
01:14:59.560 --> 01:15:00.920
did say but I didn't mean him?

1437
01:15:00.960 --> 01:15:01.680
What had you done?

1438
01:15:01.760 --> 01:15:02.319
What did he know?

1439
01:15:02.760 --> 01:15:04.760
Something prompt you to say it? No, it was nothing.

1440
01:15:04.880 --> 01:15:07.039
Nothing I haven't done. And you'll kill Rawlins, just says you.

1441
01:15:07.119 --> 01:15:07.159
What.

1442
01:15:07.399 --> 01:15:09.439
I didn't kill him? You'll kill him to shut his mouth?

1443
01:15:09.479 --> 01:15:09.960
What did he know?

1444
01:15:10.039 --> 01:15:10.359
Clyde?

1445
01:15:10.359 --> 01:15:12.960
Mad's lying? He's not find of scam le scare you.

1446
01:15:12.960 --> 01:15:14.680
You killed Rollins to keep him from telling what he

1447
01:15:14.760 --> 01:15:16.319
knew about you and my daughter Ellen.

1448
01:15:17.760 --> 01:15:18.359
You're a daughter.

1449
01:15:18.880 --> 01:15:21.359
She was in love with Clyde wanted him to marry her.

1450
01:15:21.479 --> 01:15:22.880
He tried to shake up, but when she got to

1451
01:15:23.000 --> 01:15:24.920
insistantly threw her out of his car murdered.

1452
01:15:25.000 --> 01:15:26.119
I did not, I didn't.

1453
01:15:26.279 --> 01:15:29.000
Rawlins heard them arguing. Clyde dismissed him and drove the

1454
01:15:29.000 --> 01:15:33.760
car himself. Rawlins found Ellen's purse in the car. Next morning, Rawlins.

1455
01:15:33.319 --> 01:15:35.359
Told he's ring lying. I told him.

1456
01:15:35.399 --> 01:15:37.319
Rawlins wouldn't talk of Clyde got me the letters, but

1457
01:15:37.359 --> 01:15:39.680
he killed Rollins instead. Was Ellen Blake and your car

1458
01:15:39.720 --> 01:15:40.479
the night she died?

1459
01:15:41.319 --> 01:15:42.520
Did you dismiss the chauffeur?

1460
01:15:42.680 --> 01:15:43.680
Yeah, but I didn't kill it.

1461
01:15:43.880 --> 01:15:44.560
She jumped out.

1462
01:15:44.640 --> 01:15:46.439
She jumped out the liver room. Why didn't you tell this?

1463
01:15:47.159 --> 01:15:50.199
I was going through and I got afraid to think

1464
01:15:50.239 --> 01:15:50.880
I killed her.

1465
01:15:51.079 --> 01:15:54.000
Rawlins tried a blackmail Clyde, then double crossed Clyde and

1466
01:15:54.000 --> 01:15:56.680
came to me, where's the purse? Clyde probably has it,

1467
01:15:56.880 --> 01:15:57.800
that's why he killed it.

1468
01:15:57.960 --> 01:15:59.600
I haven't got it. I don't know where it is.

1469
01:15:59.600 --> 01:16:00.319
I couldn't fine.

1470
01:16:00.359 --> 01:16:02.399
And you were in Rowland's apartment over the ground.

1471
01:16:02.479 --> 01:16:04.319
Yes, yes, but I didn't kill him.

1472
01:16:04.399 --> 01:16:06.159
I did ye.

1473
01:16:07.560 --> 01:16:10.159
Now what do you have to say, mister Banning? Do

1474
01:16:10.279 --> 01:16:14.239
I hold the aces? No, I'll bring it to trial.

1475
01:16:14.279 --> 01:16:16.840
I'll find that purse if there is a purse, and

1476
01:16:16.880 --> 01:16:19.000
if he's proven guilty, he can pay the penalty like

1477
01:16:19.039 --> 01:16:22.680
anyone else. And then Blake, I'll start on you.

1478
01:16:22.680 --> 01:16:28.000
You are a fool Manning, You're crazy. I mean, hell,

1479
01:16:28.079 --> 01:16:28.520
here we are.

1480
01:16:28.600 --> 01:16:31.520
Mister Banning got quite a bit of dope on this

1481
01:16:31.600 --> 01:16:35.159
Rawlins killing. But no, there were no fingerprints on that gun,

1482
01:16:35.199 --> 01:16:36.800
but it was definitely the murder weapon.

1483
01:16:36.840 --> 01:16:37.720
Ballistics checked it.

1484
01:16:37.920 --> 01:16:41.520
Well, still doesn't prove my son fired the gun, that's right.

1485
01:16:41.760 --> 01:16:44.439
But we did manage to trace the original ownership. And

1486
01:16:44.479 --> 01:16:45.119
what did you learn?

1487
01:16:45.680 --> 01:16:48.840
It is gunn was purchased four years ago in Seattle

1488
01:16:49.199 --> 01:16:50.439
by whom by.

1489
01:16:50.399 --> 01:16:52.359
Patricia Rawlana Tricia Rawlins.

1490
01:16:52.640 --> 01:16:55.279
You check on Patricia Rowlands who was We checked on her.

1491
01:16:55.319 --> 01:16:59.279
We also checked on Rawlins. Patricia Rollins was your chaufir's wife?

1492
01:17:00.159 --> 01:17:03.680
Have a police record? Rawins was a confidence man. Three convictions.

1493
01:17:04.159 --> 01:17:06.479
Wife Patricia was implicated as an accomplice.

1494
01:17:06.520 --> 01:17:07.119
Anything else.

1495
01:17:07.600 --> 01:17:10.920
Yes, Rawlins disappeared in New Mexico three years ago. Finally

1496
01:17:10.920 --> 01:17:13.840
turned up here. Rawlins must have had the gun in

1497
01:17:13.840 --> 01:17:17.159
his possession or the wife had it, in which case

1498
01:17:17.199 --> 01:17:20.039
she could have killed him quite Percival, you'd better try

1499
01:17:20.039 --> 01:17:23.359
to locate the wife. Oh, here's a picture. He should

1500
01:17:23.399 --> 01:17:25.199
be able to locate her without much trouble. What do

1501
01:17:25.239 --> 01:17:32.760
you mean, good Lord Marcia, Yes, Henry, look at this photo.

1502
01:17:33.520 --> 01:17:34.359
You know who this is?

1503
01:17:35.560 --> 01:17:38.800
Yes, Henry, Sorry, missus Banning. We'll check your fingerprints with

1504
01:17:38.880 --> 01:17:40.239
these on police record, just.

1505
01:17:40.159 --> 01:17:42.920
To make sure you don't need to check them their mind, Marsha, don't,

1506
01:17:42.960 --> 01:17:43.840
why not, client.

1507
01:17:43.680 --> 01:17:46.319
It doesn't prove anything. Maybe somebody got into the apartment

1508
01:17:46.359 --> 01:17:47.359
and killed him with his own dog.

1509
01:17:47.479 --> 01:17:48.359
That's just what happened.

1510
01:17:48.399 --> 01:17:51.039
He did have the gun, but I killed him three

1511
01:17:51.119 --> 01:17:54.600
years ago. He deserted me. Later I heard he was dead. Then,

1512
01:17:54.640 --> 01:17:57.560
after I'd married Henry, he turned up here. I knew

1513
01:17:57.600 --> 01:18:00.199
what he was going to do eventually, but I was

1514
01:18:00.199 --> 01:18:01.039
in love with Henry.

1515
01:18:01.880 --> 01:18:03.560
Then when he found the purse, he used it to

1516
01:18:03.560 --> 01:18:04.199
blackmail me.

1517
01:18:04.880 --> 01:18:06.840
And when he double cross both Clyde and me by

1518
01:18:06.880 --> 01:18:09.279
going to Blake redetermined to get the purse, but he

1519
01:18:09.359 --> 01:18:11.920
caught us ransacking his apartment, he pulled the gun and

1520
01:18:11.920 --> 01:18:12.399
struck me.

1521
01:18:12.720 --> 01:18:13.720
We all fought for it.

1522
01:18:14.000 --> 01:18:15.800
Clyde wrestled with him, and I got the gun.

1523
01:18:15.720 --> 01:18:16.279
And shot him.

1524
01:18:16.319 --> 01:18:17.399
Why did you tell Marshall?

1525
01:18:17.439 --> 01:18:17.479
What?

1526
01:18:17.640 --> 01:18:18.000
Why not?

1527
01:18:18.079 --> 01:18:21.760
It doesn't matter now tell me did she shoot himself defense? Clyde,

1528
01:18:21.880 --> 01:18:24.920
certainly he'd have killed us both. Well, that will clear

1529
01:18:24.960 --> 01:18:26.000
you with the Rowlands charge.

1530
01:18:26.079 --> 01:18:28.239
But what about Allan? He still killed Ellen.

1531
01:18:28.359 --> 01:18:32.079
Captain Stone, there's a missing purse, Ellen Blake's purse I

1532
01:18:32.119 --> 01:18:36.640
wanted and start looking in Rawlins's apartment. I'm going through

1533
01:18:36.640 --> 01:18:39.680
with this Blake, regardless of the consequences. Take a look

1534
01:18:39.720 --> 01:18:42.960
at him, Captain. A man who'd sacrifice his own son,

1535
01:18:43.199 --> 01:18:45.960
his own life for a couple of neasy little letters.

1536
01:18:46.439 --> 01:18:48.119
Huh? What a sap?

1537
01:18:52.399 --> 01:18:56.359
A district attorney banning a determinate man goes through with

1538
01:18:56.399 --> 01:18:59.760
his promise. The case against his son is in preparation

1539
01:19:00.199 --> 01:19:02.760
the day the opening of the trial is set. Then

1540
01:19:02.800 --> 01:19:05.720
the missing purse is found, and in it is a

1541
01:19:05.720 --> 01:19:09.039
note to Clyde written and signed by Ellen Blake.

1542
01:19:09.880 --> 01:19:12.239
Go on read it, Clyde.

1543
01:19:13.000 --> 01:19:17.239
Dearest Clyde, I've tried every way to reach you. I

1544
01:19:17.319 --> 01:19:20.319
know now that you've been avoiding me. I can't go on.

1545
01:19:21.520 --> 01:19:24.079
I know you're false, but I love you can't.

1546
01:19:23.840 --> 01:19:28.039
Help it, so I'm going to kill myself. I don't

1547
01:19:28.039 --> 01:19:32.880
know how, but some way will present itself. Good Bye, Clyde.

1548
01:19:33.359 --> 01:19:37.159
I hope you find the happiness I've been denied. I

1549
01:19:37.239 --> 01:19:38.640
love you Ellen.

1550
01:19:39.520 --> 01:19:42.479
Well there you are. Ellen.

1551
01:19:42.520 --> 01:19:46.119
Blake did jump from Clyde's car, and Clyde, even though

1552
01:19:46.159 --> 01:19:48.479
he did seem a weakling, was able to fight when

1553
01:19:48.479 --> 01:19:51.479
it came to a show down, and Marsha, because of

1554
01:19:51.520 --> 01:19:54.920
her great love for Banning, was willing to sacrifice everything

1555
01:19:55.000 --> 01:19:59.640
for him. So Clyde is cleared, Marsha is acquitted, and

1556
01:19:59.680 --> 01:20:02.520
Blake is sent to prison. That is the end of

1557
01:20:02.560 --> 01:20:05.520
the story, which might have ended very tragically had it

1558
01:20:05.560 --> 01:20:09.720
not been for the note in Ellen's purse. Very convenient

1559
01:20:10.479 --> 01:20:21.319
that note.

1560
01:20:36.119 --> 01:20:44.960
CBS has presented The Westler. Original music for this production

1561
01:20:45.159 --> 01:20:48.680
was composed and conducted by Wilbur Hatch. The Westler is

1562
01:20:48.680 --> 01:20:52.319
written and directed by J. Donald Wilson and originates from

1563
01:20:52.359 --> 01:21:20.880
Columbia Square in Hollywood. Goodnight, this is the Columbia Broadcasting System.

1564
01:21:20.920 --> 01:21:25.680
Well, my dear, the night certainly has a way of

1565
01:21:25.840 --> 01:21:34.399
getting colder, chilling us all way to our to our core.

1566
01:21:35.159 --> 01:21:42.039
Isn't it strange? How cold things are in a kind

1567
01:21:42.079 --> 01:21:52.319
of frozen time. See even the term frozen hmmm. In

1568
01:21:52.439 --> 01:21:58.399
many ways the past is preserved in the cold and dark.

1569
01:21:59.680 --> 01:22:03.720
But don't take my word for it. Let's talk to

1570
01:22:03.880 --> 01:22:07.239
mister Markham, the Antique Dealer.

1571
01:22:21.159 --> 01:22:21.920
Suspense.

1572
01:22:38.119 --> 01:22:39.279
This is the Man in Black.

1573
01:22:39.840 --> 01:22:44.880
You're again to introduce Columbia's program Suspense heading out starring

1574
01:22:44.920 --> 01:22:48.159
Hollywood cast this evening is mister Paul Lucas, with him

arm Miss Heather Angel and mister Bramwell Fletcher. Story by

1576
01:22:52.039 --> 01:22:57.079
John Dixon Carr, dealing with strange, very strange happenings in

1577
01:22:57.119 --> 01:23:00.720
a London curio shop and called Mister.

1578
01:23:00.720 --> 01:23:04.159
Markham Antique Dealer, is tonight's tale of suspense.

1579
01:23:05.399 --> 01:23:07.800
If you've been with us on these Tuesday nights, you

1580
01:23:07.840 --> 01:23:11.039
will know that suspense is compounded of mystery and suspicion

1581
01:23:11.600 --> 01:23:15.439
and dangerous adventure. In this series, our tales calculated to

1582
01:23:15.479 --> 01:23:19.520
intrigue you, stir your nerves, to offer you a precarious

1583
01:23:19.560 --> 01:23:24.279
situation and then withhold a solution till the last possible moment.

1584
01:23:25.119 --> 01:23:28.960
And so with the performances of Heather Angel, Ramwell Fletcher,

1585
01:23:29.640 --> 01:23:33.760
Paul Lucas as mister Markham Antique Dealer, We again hope

1586
01:23:33.760 --> 01:23:36.199
to keep you in suspense.

1587
01:23:47.600 --> 01:23:49.319
But this is the story of a man who commits

1588
01:23:49.399 --> 01:23:52.840
murder and gets away with it. Does the idea shock you?

1589
01:23:53.920 --> 01:23:54.000
Do?

1590
01:23:54.079 --> 01:23:58.039
You believe that justice must always be done, But let's

1591
01:23:58.039 --> 01:24:01.720
be honest with ourselves. You and I needn't be cynics

1592
01:24:01.720 --> 01:24:05.760
to know that justice is very seldom done. Innocence flinches,

1593
01:24:06.399 --> 01:24:12.239
guilt is childlike and bland. Innocence is imposed upon Guilt

1594
01:24:12.319 --> 01:24:17.359
can pass encompass all things, even a successful murder. And

1595
01:24:17.439 --> 01:24:22.000
I know this because I was the murderer. You say, oh, no,

1596
01:24:22.920 --> 01:24:29.640
inquire at Scotland Yard. I was the victim. In barn Street,

1597
01:24:29.960 --> 01:24:32.840
not far from Piccadilly, there used to be an establishment,

1598
01:24:33.479 --> 01:24:36.239
which in a less fashionable part of town would have

1599
01:24:36.239 --> 01:24:39.680
been called a shop on the windows in letters as

1600
01:24:39.760 --> 01:24:43.520
discrete as a visiting card, where the words Charles Markham

1601
01:24:43.720 --> 01:24:48.359
and tig dealer. Such a delightful fellow Markham, such a

1602
01:24:48.479 --> 01:24:53.159
character thirty years ago. Yes, as long as that this

1603
01:24:53.279 --> 01:24:56.880
antique shop was a dingy place. Despite deep carpets and

1604
01:24:57.079 --> 01:25:00.119
crystal chanderl ears. It rustled with the ticking of one

1605
01:25:00.199 --> 01:25:04.039
hundred clucks. It was shadowed by damast and armor and

1606
01:25:04.079 --> 01:25:08.079
the loom of tall tapestries, and late one summer night,

1607
01:25:08.520 --> 01:25:11.199
when the shutters were long closed on those windows, the

1608
01:25:11.239 --> 01:25:14.079
fall wheeler drew up before the door and the gas

1609
01:25:14.119 --> 01:25:15.039
lit streets.

1610
01:25:22.600 --> 01:25:24.399
That's all, Cabby. You needn't wait.

1611
01:25:24.640 --> 01:25:26.880
Very goodness, good night, good night.

1612
01:25:34.239 --> 01:25:39.880
He must be here, he must be I won't go

1613
01:25:39.960 --> 01:25:42.920
back to that place. I'll kill myself first.

1614
01:25:43.479 --> 01:25:46.960
Look here, old man, you needn't it. Oh, I beg

1615
01:25:47.000 --> 01:25:48.399
your pardon, I beg yours.

1616
01:25:49.119 --> 01:25:51.880
I'm I'm not the person you were expecting, Am.

1617
01:25:51.920 --> 01:25:54.239
I no, madam. As a matter of fact, I was

1618
01:25:54.279 --> 01:25:57.560
expecting a police officer. A police officer, Billy, an old

1619
01:25:57.600 --> 01:25:59.920
friend who often drops in for the talk and the drink.

1620
01:26:00.159 --> 01:26:01.479
You are mister Markham, aren't you.

1621
01:26:01.840 --> 01:26:04.560
Yes, my name is Markham. Can I be a ready

1622
01:26:04.640 --> 01:26:05.199
service to you?

1623
01:26:05.520 --> 01:26:08.600
I want to come in. I want to buy a

1624
01:26:08.640 --> 01:26:09.960
present for somebody.

1625
01:26:09.920 --> 01:26:11.840
Really, madam, this is hardly the time.

1626
01:26:11.920 --> 01:26:13.880
Yes, I know it's late, but it's.

1627
01:26:13.760 --> 01:26:16.359
Nearly one o'clock, madam. Surely tomorrow morning will.

1628
01:26:16.239 --> 01:26:19.000
Be they'll be too late. This is a special occasions.

1629
01:26:19.119 --> 01:26:23.920
It's a birthday present. That's it, a birthday present. I've

1630
01:26:23.920 --> 01:26:27.760
got to deliver it before breakfast and Sir George Lyttle says,

1631
01:26:27.800 --> 01:26:29.880
this is the only place in London to buy antiques.

1632
01:26:30.039 --> 01:26:31.199
Sir George flatters me.

1633
01:26:31.680 --> 01:26:34.399
Won't you let me come in just for five minutes?

1634
01:26:34.760 --> 01:26:38.399
Well, under the circumstances, madam, I think it might be managed.

1635
01:26:38.960 --> 01:26:40.920
Now one moment while I put some lights on.

1636
01:26:41.119 --> 01:26:44.600
No, please, that one little light will be enough.

1637
01:26:45.000 --> 01:26:46.479
But you won't be able to see anything.

1638
01:26:46.680 --> 01:26:50.239
That doesn't matter. I'll trust to your judgment, just.

1639
01:26:50.199 --> 01:26:56.239
As you like this way, madam.

1640
01:26:56.479 --> 01:26:58.000
What's that that noise?

1641
01:26:58.920 --> 01:26:59.239
You mean?

1642
01:26:59.279 --> 01:27:02.640
The clock's matter? There are more than a hundred clocks

1643
01:27:02.640 --> 01:27:04.880
in this room. I'm very fond of them.

1644
01:27:05.119 --> 01:27:08.239
Don't take it on your nerves, taking away together like

1645
01:27:08.239 --> 01:27:10.840
a nightmare, striking the hours together.

1646
01:27:11.079 --> 01:27:14.880
They don't strike together, madam. When the hour approaches, you

1647
01:27:14.920 --> 01:27:17.159
will hear a musical dim the last for some time?

1648
01:27:18.039 --> 01:27:19.600
Might I interest you perhaps in the clock?

1649
01:27:19.680 --> 01:27:19.720
No?

1650
01:27:20.520 --> 01:27:24.319
I hate you now all the same this grandfather cluck?

1651
01:27:24.439 --> 01:27:31.000
Might amuse you observe the signature Johannes's good Carver Landini

1652
01:27:31.399 --> 01:27:36.680
facet ad seventeen hundred and fifty two. You could see better, madam.

1653
01:27:36.720 --> 01:27:38.720
If you raise that veil, I'll keep my veil arm

1654
01:27:39.520 --> 01:27:43.319
just as you please. But look at the clock. I

1655
01:27:43.399 --> 01:27:46.800
opened the glass face like this, and I pushed the

1656
01:27:46.840 --> 01:28:01.720
second hand forward like this, and or the clock men

1657
01:28:01.920 --> 01:28:06.840
nothing more. The clock spoke clever, isn't it the device

1658
01:28:07.199 --> 01:28:10.920
of old John Carter anticipating mister Ellison's gram form by

1659
01:28:10.960 --> 01:28:14.079
more than a hundred years. But you don't like clucks.

1660
01:28:14.239 --> 01:28:15.199
Now?

1661
01:28:15.399 --> 01:28:17.439
May I ask whether the present is for a lady

1662
01:28:17.520 --> 01:28:18.159
or a gentleman?

1663
01:28:18.399 --> 01:28:19.720
It's for a man.

1664
01:28:20.279 --> 01:28:20.399
Oh?

1665
01:28:20.520 --> 01:28:25.079
Has he some knowledge of antiques? Yeah? I mean furniture,

1666
01:28:25.119 --> 01:28:28.399
perhaps porcelain, bronzes, stapestries, weapons.

1667
01:28:28.880 --> 01:28:30.840
Who might be very much interested in weapons?

1668
01:28:31.279 --> 01:28:36.720
Then I imagine his name is mister Ronald Gilbert. Now

1669
01:28:36.760 --> 01:28:38.960
will you tell me, miss Ray, why you really came

1670
01:28:39.039 --> 01:28:39.560
here tonight?

1671
01:28:40.199 --> 01:28:41.199
So you know who I am.

1672
01:28:41.760 --> 01:28:46.039
Naturally you are, Miss Judy Tray, And why did.

1673
01:28:45.960 --> 01:28:46.399
You come here?

1674
01:28:46.920 --> 01:28:48.479
I wanted to see what sort of a man you

1675
01:28:48.600 --> 01:28:49.119
actually were.

1676
01:28:49.359 --> 01:28:51.439
Oh, and have you found out? No?

1677
01:28:51.640 --> 01:28:53.720
But but I won't go back to prison.

1678
01:28:54.159 --> 01:28:57.640
I won't as you will. But since there's to be

1679
01:28:57.720 --> 01:29:02.600
a business conference, miss Ray, and I imagine it is. Yes, Well,

1680
01:29:02.680 --> 01:29:04.760
then suppurse we go into my office here at the

1681
01:29:04.800 --> 01:29:05.479
back of the shop.

1682
01:29:06.800 --> 01:29:07.560
Will you precede me?

1683
01:29:07.920 --> 01:29:08.239
Thank you?

1684
01:29:09.880 --> 01:29:11.600
You must excuse the dust cover as I've put on

1685
01:29:11.680 --> 01:29:14.239
the chairs here. I'm leaving for a holiday tomorrow and

1686
01:29:14.359 --> 01:29:18.479
the shop will be closed. Then I return next week.

1687
01:29:18.720 --> 01:29:22.279
Mister Ray. I shall expect the amount requested in cash,

1688
01:29:22.359 --> 01:29:22.880
of course.

1689
01:29:22.760 --> 01:29:24.479
But I can't raise two thousand pounds.

1690
01:29:24.520 --> 01:29:27.520
You ought to know that your fiancee could raise the money.

1691
01:29:27.560 --> 01:29:28.920
I imagine run.

1692
01:29:29.960 --> 01:29:31.640
Do you think I'd have run? No where I've been

1693
01:29:32.800 --> 01:29:33.760
or what I've been.

1694
01:29:34.199 --> 01:29:37.640
It's better than having his father learn it. Surely I've

1695
01:29:37.680 --> 01:29:38.560
sit down, mister Ray.

1696
01:29:38.680 --> 01:29:39.479
I'd rather stand.

1697
01:29:39.560 --> 01:29:41.079
Thank you now.

1698
01:29:41.159 --> 01:29:44.119
That's a very foolish gesture. But the ladies will do it.

1699
01:29:44.760 --> 01:29:46.720
They think it gives them dignity and shows that this

1700
01:29:46.920 --> 01:29:49.680
day of the poor blackmailer. You see, I make no

1701
01:29:49.840 --> 01:29:51.600
bones about it. I am a blackmailer.

1702
01:29:51.680 --> 01:29:53.000
You seem rather proud of yourself.

1703
01:29:53.159 --> 01:29:53.439
Why not.

1704
01:29:54.239 --> 01:29:56.840
I am the one person in England, perhaps in the world,

1705
01:29:56.960 --> 01:30:00.920
who has made it a large scale business. Congratulations And

1706
01:30:01.119 --> 01:30:04.720
what is all lifeblood but blackmail? The child says, if

1707
01:30:04.760 --> 01:30:07.359
you don't give me that ice cream, The grown woman says,

1708
01:30:07.600 --> 01:30:10.039
if you go on behaving like this, I believe you

1709
01:30:10.680 --> 01:30:13.680
your sex, Misterray, are blackmailers from the cradle, you know.

1710
01:30:13.880 --> 01:30:18.439
Charles Markham My way, Yes, I wonder if anybody's.

1711
01:30:17.960 --> 01:30:21.199
Ever hurt you very much hurt me? What do you

1712
01:30:21.319 --> 01:30:22.399
mean when you talk.

1713
01:30:22.239 --> 01:30:25.920
About the world and people in general? Your face goes

1714
01:30:25.960 --> 01:30:28.960
white under the eyes. You pick up that letter open

1715
01:30:29.079 --> 01:30:29.840
from not.

1716
01:30:29.880 --> 01:30:33.520
A letter opener, please, mister y it medic you dagger

1717
01:30:34.439 --> 01:30:35.920
sixteenth century.

1718
01:30:35.640 --> 01:30:38.039
Work, which isn't the money that really interests you?

1719
01:30:38.399 --> 01:30:40.760
I don't understand you hate the world.

1720
01:30:41.239 --> 01:30:43.359
You just want to torture people. But you think you've

1721
01:30:43.399 --> 01:30:43.920
been tortured.

1722
01:30:43.960 --> 01:30:44.399
Isn't that so?

1723
01:30:45.000 --> 01:30:48.680
This is a very sharp dagger mystery. If I throw

1724
01:30:48.760 --> 01:30:52.039
it down on the desk, it sticks like that, Isn't

1725
01:30:52.079 --> 01:30:52.239
it so?

1726
01:30:52.479 --> 01:30:53.119
Charles Markham?

1727
01:30:53.520 --> 01:30:58.520
My motives is a mystery? Aren't interest whereas your motives are?

1728
01:30:58.600 --> 01:31:01.840
And I'll let me see. Years ago in nineteen oh

1729
01:31:01.880 --> 01:31:04.439
three year, certain girl called Letthew Wilson your real name,

1730
01:31:04.479 --> 01:31:07.640
I believe, fell in love with a rather contemptible underworld

1731
01:31:07.720 --> 01:31:09.159
character named Arthur A.

1732
01:31:09.319 --> 01:31:09.680
Clease.

1733
01:31:10.159 --> 01:31:13.319
No humiliation was too great for her. She worked for him,

1734
01:31:13.479 --> 01:31:14.800
light for him, store for him.

1735
01:31:14.880 --> 01:31:16.760
I was only eighteen. I didn't know what I was doing.

1736
01:31:16.600 --> 01:31:19.319
At girl for a very shabby theft was sentenced to

1737
01:31:19.359 --> 01:31:22.960
three years hard labor at Halloway Prison. Five months later,

1738
01:31:23.039 --> 01:31:26.319
she escapes from prison and disappears all these years afterwards,

1739
01:31:26.720 --> 01:31:28.960
she appears in the West End. Is miss Judy Tray

1740
01:31:29.079 --> 01:31:29.840
fashionable Millner?

1741
01:31:29.880 --> 01:31:33.079
Haven't I made up for it? Haven't I for one mistake?

1742
01:31:33.600 --> 01:31:34.439
After ten years?

1743
01:31:34.560 --> 01:31:36.760
The way of the world, my dear, I didn't create it,

1744
01:31:37.319 --> 01:31:39.720
and I'm forgetting the best part of the comedy, this

1745
01:31:39.880 --> 01:31:43.239
paragon of virtue. Next fall in love with mister Ronald Gilbert,

1746
01:31:43.479 --> 01:31:48.039
son of Major General Sir Edmund Gilbert. Such a respectable family.

1747
01:31:48.359 --> 01:31:48.640
Gob it?

1748
01:31:48.800 --> 01:31:49.119
Please?

1749
01:31:50.479 --> 01:31:53.239
Then? Shall we say two thousand pounds?

1750
01:31:53.720 --> 01:31:55.960
Suppose I did raise the money. I don't know how,

1751
01:31:56.039 --> 01:31:59.439
but suppose I did raise it? Well, what guarantee would

1752
01:31:59.439 --> 01:32:01.279
I have that you would ask for still more money?

1753
01:32:01.520 --> 01:32:04.520
I probably shall ask for more money, mistery, But that's

1754
01:32:04.560 --> 01:32:05.520
my privilege.

1755
01:32:05.159 --> 01:32:08.600
As a bright may then, and I'm never going to

1756
01:32:08.640 --> 01:32:09.119
be free of you?

1757
01:32:09.960 --> 01:32:10.319
Is that it?

1758
01:32:10.880 --> 01:32:12.479
Well, frankly, that's it.

1759
01:32:14.960 --> 01:32:18.279
Unless I kill you? Of course, what if I did

1760
01:32:18.439 --> 01:32:18.680
kill you?

1761
01:32:19.960 --> 01:32:22.920
People have threatened it before, but they have meant it.

1762
01:32:23.399 --> 01:32:24.199
Maybe I mean it.

1763
01:32:24.920 --> 01:32:29.039
Well, we can easily test you out. There's a sharp

1764
01:32:29.119 --> 01:32:31.880
knife stuck in the desk in front of you. I'm

1765
01:32:31.960 --> 01:32:34.880
going to get up and deliberately turn my back on

1766
01:32:34.960 --> 01:32:36.039
you like that.

1767
01:32:36.279 --> 01:32:38.079
Be careful, Charles Markham as a.

1768
01:32:38.079 --> 01:32:41.319
Student of human nature, I'm curious how much will you

1769
01:32:41.520 --> 01:32:45.199
risk to keep the secret? Have you the courage to

1770
01:32:45.319 --> 01:32:47.279
kill and risk hanging? Yes?

1771
01:32:48.079 --> 01:32:48.680
I think I have?

1772
01:32:50.720 --> 01:32:51.119
What was that?

1773
01:32:52.439 --> 01:32:55.640
Now? Aren't you glad you held back at the last woman, Mistery?

1774
01:32:56.000 --> 01:32:58.239
I said, what was that that, my dear, was the

1775
01:32:58.279 --> 01:33:01.239
front door bell? Probably my friend with Spector Rass from

1776
01:33:01.279 --> 01:33:04.720
Bigmore Street Police station. Come in, old man, Come on in,

1777
01:33:05.039 --> 01:33:07.279
make yourself comfortable. I'll be with you in a moment.

1778
01:33:07.439 --> 01:33:09.439
You wanted me to attack you, didn't you?

1779
01:33:09.960 --> 01:33:10.000
No?

1780
01:33:10.319 --> 01:33:13.319
I was merely curious, and in any case, Miss Ray,

1781
01:33:14.079 --> 01:33:17.760
it would be useless to kill me. Useless Why because

1782
01:33:17.800 --> 01:33:21.199
I shouldn't die. Don't talk? Oh, it's quite true. A

1783
01:33:21.279 --> 01:33:25.239
man in my position must take certain precautions. If you

1784
01:33:25.399 --> 01:33:28.640
killed me, I should be back to haunt you within

1785
01:33:28.720 --> 01:33:31.520
half an hour. And I don't happen to be joking.

1786
01:33:34.079 --> 01:33:43.159
Come in, well, I good lord Judy. Mister Ronald Gilbert

1787
01:33:43.239 --> 01:33:43.920
as I live.

1788
01:33:45.439 --> 01:33:47.960
What are you doing here? He hasn't got anything against you?

1789
01:33:48.159 --> 01:33:48.399
Has he?

1790
01:33:49.439 --> 01:33:53.119
Speak up? Mister Gilbert? Have I The fact is Judy's.

1791
01:33:53.119 --> 01:33:57.760
I look at him, mister Ray, See how he changes

1792
01:33:57.840 --> 01:34:01.640
color and twists his mastar and altogether resembles a boy

1793
01:34:01.920 --> 01:34:06.000
caught in his mother's gem cupboard. Perfect picture of a

1794
01:34:06.079 --> 01:34:09.920
gentleman being a gentleman. Look here, markam, I'm not very clever.

1795
01:34:10.600 --> 01:34:12.000
You can always make a fool of me when you

1796
01:34:12.119 --> 01:34:15.960
start talking. So let's stop talking. I brought the money.

1797
01:34:16.039 --> 01:34:16.520
What money?

1798
01:34:16.680 --> 01:34:18.920
Oh, merely my fee for keeping quiet about you.

1799
01:34:19.600 --> 01:34:22.199
So you went around too? You told him about it?

1800
01:34:22.439 --> 01:34:26.319
Naturally, if possible, we'll always tell you where's in two markets?

1801
01:34:26.359 --> 01:34:27.000
How much money?

1802
01:34:27.039 --> 01:34:29.479
Never mind you? I hoped I could do this without

1803
01:34:29.520 --> 01:34:29.920
your knowing.

1804
01:34:30.039 --> 01:34:30.720
How much money?

1805
01:34:30.800 --> 01:34:32.479
Three thousand? It's all I could raise?

1806
01:34:33.199 --> 01:34:35.319
Has he? But he told you who I am?

1807
01:34:36.119 --> 01:34:38.319
What I look here? Who the devil cares who you

1808
01:34:38.399 --> 01:34:40.800
are or what you've been? I happen to be in

1809
01:34:40.840 --> 01:34:43.720
love with you. Hi, never mind, let's get out of here.

1810
01:34:44.039 --> 01:34:44.199
Ron.

1811
01:34:44.279 --> 01:34:47.159
It's no good. You'll only come back for more money.

1812
01:34:47.239 --> 01:34:47.520
I know that.

1813
01:34:47.600 --> 01:34:48.439
But what else can we do?

1814
01:34:48.680 --> 01:34:48.920
Nothing?

1815
01:34:48.960 --> 01:34:51.840
I am afraid? Well, what's that knife doing there stuck

1816
01:34:51.880 --> 01:34:54.800
in the desk? Nothing dangerous, I assure you, no, merely

1817
01:34:54.920 --> 01:34:56.840
cure you. I pick it up like this, I flip

1818
01:34:56.880 --> 01:34:59.760
it down like this and pick it up again. Mister

1819
01:35:00.000 --> 01:35:02.479
I was very much interested in the dagger. Now may

1820
01:35:02.520 --> 01:35:03.960
I have that envelope with the money?

1821
01:35:04.039 --> 01:35:04.319
Please?

1822
01:35:04.520 --> 01:35:07.640
Here you are take it, thank you. As I explained

1823
01:35:07.680 --> 01:35:10.439
to Miss Ray, I'm leaving tomorrow for a holiday, hence

1824
01:35:10.479 --> 01:35:13.159
the general disarray and the desk towers on the chairs.

1825
01:35:13.720 --> 01:35:16.159
But before my departure, I'm glad we could settle this affair,

1826
01:35:16.199 --> 01:35:18.720
as you would say, like gentlemen, before we clear out

1827
01:35:18.760 --> 01:35:21.960
of here, Markam, there's just one favorite I'd like to ask. Well,

1828
01:35:22.000 --> 01:35:24.199
of course, old men, ask away. This is your job.

1829
01:35:24.279 --> 01:35:27.319
I suppose you can't help being what you are, But

1830
01:35:27.520 --> 01:35:31.079
never again, as long as you live, never even say

1831
01:35:31.279 --> 01:35:36.079
the word gentlemen, be careful ron the pa faith generally,

1832
01:35:36.159 --> 01:35:39.279
Mister Gilbert, how much money is in dissemble? You heard

1833
01:35:39.319 --> 01:35:41.800
what I said, three thousand pounds? Then take it back,

1834
01:35:41.880 --> 01:35:45.880
my friend, I fank. We can't strike a bargain after all.

1835
01:35:46.319 --> 01:35:49.079
What you mean just what I say. It is your money.

1836
01:35:50.239 --> 01:35:52.319
You will now oblige me both you and miss Ray

1837
01:35:52.399 --> 01:35:54.640
by leaving my shop. But what are you going to

1838
01:35:54.720 --> 01:35:57.680
do tomorrow morning, perhaps even tonight. I'm going to get

1839
01:35:57.720 --> 01:35:59.920
in touch with the police, and I shall tell them

1840
01:36:00.479 --> 01:36:04.399
where they can find Letty Wilson alias Judy Tray. You

1841
01:36:04.560 --> 01:36:06.199
can't do that, Markham, Oh yes, he can.

1842
01:36:06.760 --> 01:36:07.840
You hit him where it hurts.

1843
01:36:08.079 --> 01:36:11.079
Three thousand pounds, my friend, is not enough compensation for.

1844
01:36:11.119 --> 01:36:11.840
The way you talk.

1845
01:36:13.560 --> 01:36:15.960
There is a way through the shop. Shall I escort

1846
01:36:16.039 --> 01:36:16.760
you to the front door?

1847
01:36:16.960 --> 01:36:17.000
No?

1848
01:36:17.880 --> 01:36:20.560
Oh, so you prefer to Shay stay here and make

1849
01:36:20.640 --> 01:36:23.479
a fool of yourself. You're not going to tell the police, Martam.

1850
01:36:24.039 --> 01:36:26.479
I promise you that. And how are you going to

1851
01:36:26.520 --> 01:36:27.680
stop me with us?

1852
01:36:27.920 --> 01:36:27.960
No?

1853
01:36:28.439 --> 01:36:29.239
Put that kind of way.

1854
01:36:29.720 --> 01:36:32.079
That's a funny thing, Judith. I felt a bit of

1855
01:36:32.119 --> 01:36:35.039
a fool, you know, bringing this revolver alone. But now

1856
01:36:35.039 --> 01:36:37.680
I've got a use for it. Oh yes, I've got

1857
01:36:37.720 --> 01:36:42.640
a use for it. Maybe the best thing would be

1858
01:36:42.720 --> 01:36:45.439
to go into the street now and call a policeman.

1859
01:36:45.600 --> 01:36:48.640
You will never get into the street, Markham. Are you

1860
01:36:48.720 --> 01:36:49.680
following into the shop?

1861
01:36:49.920 --> 01:36:50.079
Yes?

1862
01:36:51.199 --> 01:36:54.279
So, both of you. It appears came here on the

1863
01:36:54.399 --> 01:36:57.760
false detenses. You said you wanted to pay me some money.

1864
01:36:57.800 --> 01:36:59.439
The money is still here, but you've lost your chance

1865
01:36:59.479 --> 01:37:01.720
to get you are Dear Judy said she wanted to

1866
01:37:01.760 --> 01:37:05.000
buy a present for you. I showed her his grandfather clock. Here,

1867
01:37:05.079 --> 01:37:07.720
this talking clock. Don't go step beyond that clock. Mark them.

1868
01:37:07.760 --> 01:37:09.800
I want you hands and so old man, you wouldn't

1869
01:37:09.840 --> 01:37:12.680
dare shoot, wouldn't I know? And I'll call you a

1870
01:37:12.760 --> 01:37:20.760
blood One step, two steps? I know your whole silly

1871
01:37:20.840 --> 01:37:24.760
tribe man. Then you wouldn't risk it. No, you wouldn't.

1872
01:37:25.960 --> 01:37:28.079
What's happening to me? Don't try and grab out of

1873
01:37:28.119 --> 01:37:28.399
the clock.

1874
01:37:28.479 --> 01:37:28.800
Mark them.

1875
01:37:29.039 --> 01:37:31.079
It won't save you. You wouldn't risk your life here,

1876
01:37:32.000 --> 01:37:50.000
wouldn't risk your family position. You wouldn't. I had to

1877
01:37:50.079 --> 01:37:52.760
do it. You don't you see I had to do it,

1878
01:37:52.920 --> 01:37:53.159
did you?

1879
01:37:54.800 --> 01:37:54.920
Oh?

1880
01:37:55.039 --> 01:37:58.199
Yes, yes, he's done for I tell you I had

1881
01:37:58.239 --> 01:37:58.520
to do it.

1882
01:37:59.239 --> 01:38:02.600
Keep your voice start Why that shot sounded like the

1883
01:38:02.640 --> 01:38:05.479
crack of dune. I wonder if anybody in the street

1884
01:38:05.520 --> 01:38:05.800
heard it.

1885
01:38:05.920 --> 01:38:07.239
You mean the police?

1886
01:38:07.319 --> 01:38:07.840
Here's Ron?

1887
01:38:08.680 --> 01:38:10.039
What in Heaven's name are we going to do?

1888
01:38:10.199 --> 01:38:12.000
Steady, steady, We'll find a way out.

1889
01:38:12.680 --> 01:38:15.279
Maybe he's not dead, Ron, go and look at him.

1890
01:38:15.319 --> 01:38:19.439
He's dead, all right, please, Ron, go and look at him.

1891
01:38:22.039 --> 01:38:25.199
Well shot through the heart. The bullet went clean through

1892
01:38:25.279 --> 01:38:27.640
him and smashed the face of the grandfather clock. That's

1893
01:38:27.680 --> 01:38:28.880
all I can see in this dim light.

1894
01:38:29.600 --> 01:38:30.720
This isn't happening to us.

1895
01:38:30.800 --> 01:38:33.920
It can't be had to look. But it's hard to think,

1896
01:38:34.640 --> 01:38:37.079
you see, Judis. I'm not in the rage any longer.

1897
01:38:37.119 --> 01:38:39.359
I'm just numb and a little bit scared.

1898
01:38:39.439 --> 01:38:40.880
You're not going to give yourself.

1899
01:38:40.600 --> 01:38:42.800
Up and have this whole thing made public? Not likely?

1900
01:38:43.039 --> 01:38:45.840
Wait a minute, and maybe a way out? What way

1901
01:38:46.199 --> 01:38:47.520
he said he was going for a holiday?

1902
01:38:47.760 --> 01:38:49.119
Remember, well, suppose he did.

1903
01:38:49.239 --> 01:38:52.359
It gives us time. It means his absence won't be noticed.

1904
01:38:52.760 --> 01:38:55.439
The shop will be closed, nobody will come here for days,

1905
01:38:55.600 --> 01:38:58.079
and certainly nobody will come here tonight. And but that

1906
01:39:00.760 --> 01:39:04.239
the police officer I forgot. The police officer, a police officer,

1907
01:39:04.479 --> 01:39:06.800
a friend of Markhams. He inspected somebody or other from

1908
01:39:06.840 --> 01:39:09.680
Wigmore Street. He's inspected here tonight.

1909
01:39:09.600 --> 01:39:10.520
And then then we're finished.

1910
01:39:11.319 --> 01:39:15.560
No, Ronnie, they're not finished. He can't see anything out there.

1911
01:39:16.119 --> 01:39:18.880
The shutters are down and the doors covered. Could you

1912
01:39:19.920 --> 01:39:22.000
could you pick Markham up and carry him?

1913
01:39:22.239 --> 01:39:22.399
Yes?

1914
01:39:22.560 --> 01:39:23.119
Yes I could.

1915
01:39:23.159 --> 01:39:25.239
Why there must be a bad way out of the shop,

1916
01:39:25.319 --> 01:39:28.319
probably in the office. Hurry, ron I.

1917
01:39:28.640 --> 01:39:29.600
Don't like to touch him.

1918
01:39:30.640 --> 01:39:32.560
Hurry ron please, he's.

1919
01:39:32.359 --> 01:39:35.319
As heavy as a sight of meal. He seems to

1920
01:39:35.399 --> 01:39:36.520
be looking straight at me.

1921
01:39:36.840 --> 01:39:37.119
I know.

1922
01:39:38.600 --> 01:39:41.760
Everything here seems to have eyes and move a little

1923
01:39:41.760 --> 01:39:42.319
in the shadow.

1924
01:39:43.520 --> 01:39:45.600
Didn't you see the expression in Markham's eyes.

1925
01:39:45.520 --> 01:39:48.279
Just before you? No, no, I didn't seem to be

1926
01:39:48.359 --> 01:39:51.359
looking behind us or behind us. I don't know how

1927
01:39:51.399 --> 01:39:52.000
to describe it.

1928
01:39:52.600 --> 01:39:53.760
And he said something too.

1929
01:39:53.720 --> 01:39:57.479
That scared me. He said he couldn't die.

1930
01:39:58.039 --> 01:40:04.760
He's said, close the door with this police officer, Judith,

1931
01:40:05.279 --> 01:40:06.439
he can't get into the shot.

1932
01:40:06.319 --> 01:40:10.319
Kenny, of course he can. The front door isn't locked.

1933
01:40:10.119 --> 01:40:12.039
That's true. What's wrong with me, Judent? I came in

1934
01:40:12.119 --> 01:40:13.039
there that way myself.

1935
01:40:13.760 --> 01:40:15.159
There's no time to lock the front door.

1936
01:40:15.239 --> 01:40:15.359
Now.

1937
01:40:16.560 --> 01:40:19.239
Our only hope is through the back way. I thought

1938
01:40:19.239 --> 01:40:22.840
i'd seen a back door, and ah, there it is

1939
01:40:24.199 --> 01:40:24.720
just a minute.

1940
01:40:24.800 --> 01:40:28.039
I've killed a man. That means I'm a murderer.

1941
01:40:28.479 --> 01:40:30.640
A fraction of a second, one tick of a clock

1942
01:40:30.680 --> 01:40:33.239
in there, and you change from an ordinary happy person

1943
01:40:33.319 --> 01:40:34.680
into into what I.

1944
01:40:35.199 --> 01:40:36.920
Well, Judith, will, I'm sorry.

1945
01:40:37.720 --> 01:40:38.439
The door's locked.

1946
01:40:38.760 --> 01:40:39.399
Isn't there a key?

1947
01:40:39.920 --> 01:40:39.960
No?

1948
01:40:40.399 --> 01:40:41.359
Maybe in his pockets on.

1949
01:40:41.399 --> 01:40:41.800
A key ring.

1950
01:40:41.840 --> 01:40:45.560
There isn't time. I think I heard the front door open,

1951
01:40:46.159 --> 01:40:47.079
our visitors coming in.

1952
01:40:47.640 --> 01:40:51.079
I've got it the dust covers. What those white cloths?

1953
01:40:51.399 --> 01:40:53.000
That the cover that fit over the chairs?

1954
01:40:53.079 --> 01:40:53.520
Look at them?

1955
01:40:53.600 --> 01:40:54.720
What on earth are you talking about?

1956
01:40:54.720 --> 01:40:56.119
We used to play a game when we were kids.

1957
01:40:56.159 --> 01:40:58.520
Somebody sits in a big chair. You know, you fit

1958
01:40:58.640 --> 01:40:59.279
the dust cover.

1959
01:40:59.199 --> 01:41:01.720
Over him and nobody can tell he's sitting there, don't

1960
01:41:01.760 --> 01:41:04.199
you see, Judas, That's how we can hide Markham's body.

1961
01:41:04.279 --> 01:41:05.399
It might work if there's time.

1962
01:41:05.560 --> 01:41:06.359
There's got to be time.

1963
01:41:06.479 --> 01:41:08.479
Take the big cover off that chair, the wing chair,

1964
01:41:08.560 --> 01:41:11.079
all right, maybe there's a chance I'll fit him into it.

1965
01:41:12.359 --> 01:41:14.840
Arms along the chair, arms.

1966
01:41:15.359 --> 01:41:16.439
He pushed back.

1967
01:41:18.079 --> 01:41:21.640
Now put the cover back again and pull it round

1968
01:41:21.680 --> 01:41:22.279
down his feet.

1969
01:41:22.560 --> 01:41:25.560
Don't let it touch his chest. The blackwell showed through here.

1970
01:41:25.880 --> 01:41:26.319
That's got it.

1971
01:41:26.880 --> 01:41:28.199
You can't see anything, no can you?

1972
01:41:28.800 --> 01:41:28.840
No?

1973
01:41:29.000 --> 01:41:32.520
But Ron, Well, what did you do with the gun?

1974
01:41:33.079 --> 01:41:33.479
The gun?

1975
01:41:34.039 --> 01:41:35.199
The gun you shot Markham with?

1976
01:41:35.520 --> 01:41:35.680
Oh?

1977
01:41:36.319 --> 01:41:37.880
But Judas, i'd put it down on the floor when

1978
01:41:37.880 --> 01:41:39.840
I picked up his body in the other room. Yes, yes,

1979
01:41:39.840 --> 01:41:43.279
I'm afraid so. And it's too late now, Judas, the

1980
01:41:43.399 --> 01:41:44.039
police are here.

1981
01:41:44.600 --> 01:41:45.439
What are you going to say?

1982
01:41:46.079 --> 01:41:46.439
I don't know.

1983
01:41:46.960 --> 01:41:50.319
Trust your wits and try and brazen it out. Yes,

1984
01:41:50.920 --> 01:41:57.359
come in believing, mister and believing mister Gilbert.

1985
01:41:59.560 --> 01:42:02.920
Chas Markham, your Charles Markham.

1986
01:42:02.680 --> 01:42:07.960
Correctly srae. Why should that surprise you? Why do you

1987
01:42:08.000 --> 01:42:09.399
look as though you were seeing a ghost?

1988
01:42:09.920 --> 01:42:13.640
Because we are seeing a ghost. If you're Charles Markham,

1989
01:42:14.000 --> 01:42:15.000
whose body is should just.

1990
01:42:15.079 --> 01:42:17.640
Be careful, buddy, Misterray, did you see it? Buddy? This

1991
01:42:17.840 --> 01:42:19.800
Ray's upset. She doesn't know what she's talking about.

1992
01:42:20.960 --> 01:42:22.640
If you killed me, I should be back to haunt

1993
01:42:22.720 --> 01:42:24.600
you within half an hour, That's what he said.

1994
01:42:24.680 --> 01:42:27.479
I tell you it misraised herself. She had bad news today.

1995
01:42:27.479 --> 01:42:29.640
A relative first died. I've been trying to make her

1996
01:42:29.680 --> 01:42:33.079
feel better. Indeed, do you think it would make her

1997
01:42:33.119 --> 01:42:35.960
feel better to bring her here? I don't understand, my

1998
01:42:36.119 --> 01:42:38.439
dear sir. You are very welcome, but the situation is

1999
01:42:38.479 --> 01:42:42.000
shoot a little odd. I come in here and find

2000
01:42:42.079 --> 01:42:44.119
you two looking as guilty as a pair of murderers.

2001
01:42:44.199 --> 01:42:46.479
If in my private office in the middle of the night,

2002
01:42:46.560 --> 01:42:49.079
there's nothing odd about that. I wanted to buy you

2003
01:42:49.159 --> 01:42:50.279
did something one o'clock.

2004
01:42:49.960 --> 01:42:50.399
In the morning.

2005
01:42:50.520 --> 01:42:53.640
Yes, well, may I ask how you managed to get in?

2006
01:42:53.720 --> 01:42:56.159
The front door was open. We just walked in. If

2007
01:42:56.199 --> 01:42:58.439
you wish to buy something, why not stay in the showroom.

2008
01:42:58.680 --> 01:43:00.560
Why come to my office? Hang it all. You didn't

2009
01:43:00.560 --> 01:43:03.399
think we wanted to steal anything? Well, that thought did

2010
01:43:03.439 --> 01:43:06.800
occur to me. You see, there was nobody else here.

2011
01:43:07.039 --> 01:43:10.560
There's nobody here, mister Markham, not a living soul.

2012
01:43:11.159 --> 01:43:16.800
Then you didn't meet any chance. My brother, Yes, my

2013
01:43:16.920 --> 01:43:19.720
brother Robert. You couldn't have mistaken him if you had

2014
01:43:19.800 --> 01:43:21.880
seen him. He looks so much like me that few

2015
01:43:21.960 --> 01:43:23.039
people can tell us apart.

2016
01:43:25.399 --> 01:43:26.319
So that's it.

2017
01:43:27.279 --> 01:43:30.880
Poor Robert often deputizes for me. He's learned to act

2018
01:43:31.039 --> 01:43:33.520
like me, think like me, and talk like me. But

2019
01:43:33.680 --> 01:43:36.520
he doesn't like the work very much. Of course. You

2020
01:43:36.640 --> 01:43:39.279
know what my work really is is this part of

2021
01:43:39.359 --> 01:43:41.840
the game you're trying to play cat and mouse. Robert

2022
01:43:41.960 --> 01:43:45.439
is an idealist. He thinks, poor fellow, that my profession

2023
01:43:45.560 --> 01:43:48.960
is beneath contempt. But he acts the part and acts

2024
01:43:49.000 --> 01:43:52.119
it well because I pay him, and I find it

2025
01:43:52.279 --> 01:43:55.119
useful to have a double who will run risks for me.

2026
01:43:56.479 --> 01:43:59.239
What have you done with his body? We haven't done

2027
01:43:59.239 --> 01:44:02.399
anything with him. If you've killed Robert, my friend, you've

2028
01:44:02.439 --> 01:44:06.680
committed a totally useless murder. You don't see him here, no,

2029
01:44:06.880 --> 01:44:10.239
but I see his handiwork meaning what I warned him

2030
01:44:10.279 --> 01:44:13.199
many times about throwing a knife down on a polished desktop.

2031
01:44:13.800 --> 01:44:17.520
Those scratches on the desk are fresh scratches. Of course,

2032
01:44:17.600 --> 01:44:19.199
if you give me your word of honor that he's

2033
01:44:19.239 --> 01:44:22.800
not here, of course he's not here. Well, in that case,

2034
01:44:23.000 --> 01:44:25.920
all we can do is sit down and make ourselves comfortable.

2035
01:44:26.920 --> 01:44:29.039
Would you sit there, mister Gilbert, and you miss Ray

2036
01:44:29.960 --> 01:44:33.520
in the wing chair by the window. What's wrong, miss Ray?

2037
01:44:34.199 --> 01:44:35.079
Why don't you sit down?

2038
01:44:35.439 --> 01:44:39.560
Because I prefer to stand, thank you, And perhaps.

2039
01:44:39.560 --> 01:44:41.520
You won't mind if I sit in the wind chair.

2040
01:44:42.279 --> 01:44:47.680
It's a very comfortable one my brother always, so.

2041
01:44:47.800 --> 01:44:51.479
That's it, Yes, that's it.

2042
01:44:52.079 --> 01:44:54.920
It is rather a thick chair. I press against the

2043
01:44:55.000 --> 01:44:58.319
dust cover and blood comes. True. I lift the bottom

2044
01:44:58.359 --> 01:45:00.279
of the dust cover. And what's for you use of

2045
01:45:00.359 --> 01:45:04.439
going on with this? I killed him? You admit that, Yes,

2046
01:45:04.560 --> 01:45:07.119
I admitted. But Judith had nothing to do with this.

2047
01:45:07.239 --> 01:45:10.560
I swear she hadn't. My telephone you notices against the walls.

2048
01:45:11.359 --> 01:45:13.000
I shall have to turn my back to you when

2049
01:45:13.039 --> 01:45:16.239
I ring ring? Where big More Street police station?

2050
01:45:17.119 --> 01:45:17.279
Oh?

2051
01:45:17.359 --> 01:45:19.840
No, give him a chance, Please give him a chance.

2052
01:45:20.520 --> 01:45:25.319
Hello, Hello operator, I want regent oh five eighty six.

2053
01:45:28.520 --> 01:45:29.399
It's no good, Judith.

2054
01:45:30.359 --> 01:45:33.000
I killed them and I meant to kill him. That's

2055
01:45:33.000 --> 01:45:36.359
all there is to it. A very sensible attitude, my friend.

2056
01:45:36.920 --> 01:45:39.000
And if the lady has any idea of flying, he

2057
01:45:39.039 --> 01:45:42.760
admitted that knife. Just notice what I've got here, the

2058
01:45:42.880 --> 01:45:46.760
thirty two Revolver one chamber fired picked top of the

2059
01:45:46.840 --> 01:45:47.840
floor in the room.

2060
01:45:47.680 --> 01:45:55.119
Where hello, hello, Won't you give him a chance?

2061
01:45:55.479 --> 01:45:58.720
Be quiet? Mistery May I speak to Inspector rass Please?

2062
01:46:00.720 --> 01:46:04.640
Isn't that mister Markham got it in one, Inspector Charles Markham?

2063
01:46:04.680 --> 01:46:04.840
Here.

2064
01:46:05.600 --> 01:46:07.399
I understand you are going to drop in and see

2065
01:46:07.439 --> 01:46:08.199
me tonight.

2066
01:46:08.800 --> 01:46:10.960
Mister Markham, But I'm afraid I can't make it now.

2067
01:46:11.439 --> 01:46:14.640
Why not anything wrong? Robert David history, But it's likely

2068
01:46:14.720 --> 01:46:15.560
to be a long job.

2069
01:46:15.720 --> 01:46:16.880
Sorry, I can't get there.

2070
01:46:17.199 --> 01:46:20.920
Well, that's perfectly all right, Inspector, because actually I rang

2071
01:46:21.039 --> 01:46:23.560
up to make sure you wouldn't come here tonight. You see,

2072
01:46:23.600 --> 01:46:25.319
I've got a lot of work to do and I'm

2073
01:46:25.399 --> 01:46:28.359
leaving for Eastbourne early tomorrow morning. Let's make it some

2074
01:46:28.439 --> 01:46:34.560
other time, Shelby. No crime being committed of your wayshir now, Inspector,

2075
01:46:34.840 --> 01:46:37.479
it's as quiet as a grave. I've never known a

2076
01:46:37.560 --> 01:46:39.119
more peaceful night? Goodbye?

2077
01:46:39.720 --> 01:46:42.279
Why did you do that?

2078
01:46:43.199 --> 01:46:43.479
Please?

2079
01:46:43.520 --> 01:46:46.319
Don't excite yourself this three. Didn't you hear what I

2080
01:46:46.439 --> 01:46:48.439
told the inspector? Yes?

2081
01:46:49.600 --> 01:46:50.640
Is this some more trickery?

2082
01:46:50.880 --> 01:46:52.279
Trickery? How can it be?

2083
01:46:52.760 --> 01:46:55.039
I don't know. That's what I'm asking you.

2084
01:46:55.600 --> 01:46:57.760
I should call it generous when I let my poor

2085
01:46:57.840 --> 01:47:00.920
brother's death go on the ben this without a reason,

2086
01:47:01.119 --> 01:47:03.880
naturally not. But has it occurred to you, either of you,

2087
01:47:04.119 --> 01:47:07.680
that I might not want my business dealings revealed in court?

2088
01:47:07.880 --> 01:47:10.760
What are you driving at? And has it also occurred

2089
01:47:10.760 --> 01:47:13.800
to you that the man's double looks exactly like him

2090
01:47:14.359 --> 01:47:17.920
and shares all his secrets. May become a danger rather

2091
01:47:18.039 --> 01:47:21.079
than an asset. He knows too much, he wants too much.

2092
01:47:21.159 --> 01:47:24.560
And so I think I understand you're glad he's dead.

2093
01:47:24.640 --> 01:47:27.720
He not glad, my dear, You shocked my brotherly feelings,

2094
01:47:28.000 --> 01:47:31.199
but definitely relieve. Look here, you can't get away with us,

2095
01:47:31.319 --> 01:47:33.560
get away with it, sir? Aren't you forgetting that you

2096
01:47:33.680 --> 01:47:36.279
are the murderer? What are you going to do? This

2097
01:47:36.399 --> 01:47:39.520
is very simple. We three, in an unholy.

2098
01:47:39.239 --> 01:47:43.039
Partnership, will dispose of Robert's body? Or would you rather

2099
01:47:43.159 --> 01:47:45.880
head he's got us wrong. There's no other way.

2100
01:47:46.039 --> 01:47:48.600
But how can we dispose of the body? This seems

2101
01:47:48.640 --> 01:47:52.079
worse than killing him. It's filthy, cold blooded, tractical necessity.

2102
01:47:52.560 --> 01:47:54.760
And as for disposing of the body, nothing is easier

2103
01:47:55.239 --> 01:48:06.439
which are simply gathered. And so, as I said before,

2104
01:48:07.439 --> 01:48:09.479
this is the story of a man who commits murder

2105
01:48:09.560 --> 01:48:13.439
and gets away with it. Now, Ronald Gilbert looks back

2106
01:48:13.479 --> 01:48:17.039
across the years and is still firmly convinced of his

2107
01:48:17.239 --> 01:48:21.399
own guilt. But of course Gilbert never shot anybody. I

2108
01:48:21.640 --> 01:48:25.680
was the man who committed the murder. Don't you remember?

2109
01:48:26.279 --> 01:48:28.159
The bullet that killed my brother is supposed to have

2110
01:48:28.239 --> 01:48:30.119
passed through his body and smashed the face of the

2111
01:48:30.119 --> 01:48:33.800
grandfather clock. But that's an impossibility. The face of a

2112
01:48:33.880 --> 01:48:36.800
grandfather clock is much higher than the heart of a man.

2113
01:48:37.680 --> 01:48:41.279
You see, two shots were fired at the very same instant.

2114
01:48:41.960 --> 01:48:45.680
Gilbert missed and smashed the clock face. I fired from

2115
01:48:45.720 --> 01:48:49.000
the door of the office and did not miss. That

2116
01:48:49.199 --> 01:48:52.199
was why my brother looked past those two. I went

2117
01:48:52.319 --> 01:48:55.119
out by the back door, locked it and reappeared at

2118
01:48:55.159 --> 01:48:59.520
the front. Afterwards. It was not Robert Markhams who died.

2119
01:49:00.640 --> 01:49:05.279
Iron Robert Markham It was Charles who died that night,

2120
01:49:06.239 --> 01:49:10.399
and I killed him to stop forever the wholesale blackmail

2121
01:49:10.680 --> 01:49:13.319
that was poisoning the lives and blasting the hearts of

2122
01:49:13.399 --> 01:49:17.479
a thousand half crazed people. His records are destroyed, his

2123
01:49:17.600 --> 01:49:21.720
correspondence I burned. He is dead and gone. I have

2124
01:49:21.800 --> 01:49:26.520
assumed his name and identity ever since I committed a murder.

2125
01:49:27.760 --> 01:49:31.239
And yet, if you sat on a jury, dare you

2126
01:49:31.359 --> 01:49:35.119
say that you would condemn me? Come now, would you?

2127
01:49:53.000 --> 01:49:55.359
And so closes mister Markham.

This is the Columbia Broadcasting system.

2135
01:50:46.039 --> 01:50:51.479
Well, my dear, I suppose there is time for perhaps

2136
01:50:52.239 --> 01:50:59.319
one more go before the night loses its battle and

2137
01:50:59.479 --> 01:51:06.439
the Sun returns to supremacy. What do you ever wonder

2138
01:51:06.640 --> 01:51:13.720
where you participate in such a competition. I mean, are

2139
01:51:13.760 --> 01:51:16.880
you a general? Are you a colonel? Are you some

2140
01:51:17.279 --> 01:51:22.920
kind of advisor? I always saw myself as more of

2141
01:51:23.039 --> 01:51:25.159
the Fourth Man.

2142
01:51:30.640 --> 01:51:36.680

That's the last of the summer series is The Fourth

2147
01:51:53.199 --> 01:52:02.680
Man by John Russell. Neumeya in the South Pacific to

2148
01:52:02.760 --> 01:52:05.359
a generation of French criminals, a word to be uttered

2149
01:52:05.399 --> 01:52:09.119
in the same terrified breath with Devil's Island, the penal

2150
01:52:09.199 --> 01:52:13.119
colony at Noumea, where the cutthroats, garatas and sadists from

2151
01:52:13.159 --> 01:52:16.319
the dregs of French society were sent to a living death.

2152
01:52:17.319 --> 01:52:19.960
To night, we invite you to escape from Neumeya. In

2153
01:52:20.119 --> 01:52:29.079
John Russell's The Fourth Man, the.

2154
01:52:29.239 --> 01:52:30.840
Raft stood to open sea.

2155
01:52:33.159 --> 01:52:36.199
A mat of pandanus sleeves served for its sail, and

2156
01:52:36.319 --> 01:52:39.520
a paddle of wood for its helm. It was woven

2157
01:52:39.560 --> 01:52:43.399
of reeds and bamboo sticks lashed upon triple rows of bladders,

2158
01:52:44.159 --> 01:52:50.359
and it carried four men. Three of thems had huddled

2159
01:52:50.399 --> 01:52:53.439
together at the far end. Their bodies were blackened with

2160
01:52:53.560 --> 01:52:56.239
dried blood. And the hair upon them was long and matted.

2161
01:52:56.960 --> 01:53:00.760
They wore only the rags of blue convict's uniforms. On

2162
01:53:00.920 --> 01:53:04.880
wrist and ankle. They carried their mark, the dark and

2163
01:53:05.000 --> 01:53:11.439
wrinkled stain of the manacles. There was devous doctor, man

2164
01:53:11.520 --> 01:53:16.880
of the world, murderer. Friends, the thing is done and

2165
01:53:17.079 --> 01:53:21.760
feneral forger ladies, man, weakling coward.

2166
01:53:22.119 --> 01:53:26.079
Yes, we've escaped, and the one known.

2167
01:53:26.000 --> 01:53:29.279
As the parrot, thief and cutthroat.

2168
01:53:29.680 --> 01:53:34.840
So far, so good, and by the way of celebration, gentlemen,

2169
01:53:35.359 --> 01:53:37.439
may I offer you cigarettes?

2170
01:53:37.720 --> 01:53:38.399
Cigarettes?

2171
01:53:39.640 --> 01:53:42.439
Doctor, you're a marvel a magician. Look at them, quite

2172
01:53:42.520 --> 01:53:44.960
and fresh, as though they just came from the package.

2173
01:53:45.159 --> 01:53:46.199
How did you do it?

2174
01:53:48.119 --> 01:53:51.079
Every six months there are about seventy five escapes from

2175
01:53:51.119 --> 01:53:55.079
New Maya, and not more than one succeeds. Ours would

2176
01:53:55.119 --> 01:53:59.119
be that one I knew, so three weeks ago I

2177
01:53:59.239 --> 01:54:02.520
bribed the night god for these very cigarettes, so that

2178
01:54:02.720 --> 01:54:05.079
we might sit here, my friends, as we are doing,

2179
01:54:05.600 --> 01:54:09.760
and celebrate. I want to light a light for the

2180
01:54:09.840 --> 01:54:11.359
pert our.

2181
01:54:11.439 --> 01:54:14.079
Doctor is a wonder He thinks of everything. He gives

2182
01:54:14.159 --> 01:54:16.920
us cigarettes, matches and our freedom.

2183
01:54:17.319 --> 01:54:20.079
Wait till you've got your two feet on a pavement again.

2184
01:54:20.800 --> 01:54:23.720
That'll be the time to sound off about freedom.

2185
01:54:24.840 --> 01:54:26.840
To wear starched collars again.

2186
01:54:27.840 --> 01:54:32.359
Stole the girl clean and fresh from her bath, down

2187
01:54:32.439 --> 01:54:33.600
the plash la concorde.

2188
01:54:35.000 --> 01:54:38.439
Suppose we get a storm. It's not the season of storms,

2189
01:54:38.800 --> 01:54:43.520
just the same. Suppose we get a storm. Okay, my friend,

2190
01:54:44.279 --> 01:54:48.000
you must not be so impatient. Remember we were convicts

2191
01:54:48.079 --> 01:54:51.760
back there, festering and oblivion. Now we are men raised

2192
01:54:51.800 --> 01:54:52.359
from the dead.

2193
01:54:52.800 --> 01:54:59.920
Suppose we get a storm. You've got a gift of speech, doctor,

2194
01:55:01.199 --> 01:55:03.159
But where's the ship that was going to.

2195
01:55:03.239 --> 01:55:06.279
Meet us here? This is the day, is agreed, it

2196
01:55:06.319 --> 01:55:08.880
will meet us. The wind will blow us to China

2197
01:55:09.000 --> 01:55:11.520
if we keep on. We can't lie any closer to

2198
01:55:11.520 --> 01:55:15.520
the shore. There's a government launch at Toya, and I

2199
01:55:15.600 --> 01:55:19.199
doubt if the native trackers have given us some careful parrot.

2200
01:55:19.239 --> 01:55:20.800
The natives lead you, yet.

2201
01:55:21.520 --> 01:55:25.640
I've heard about that. It's a true, doctor, that they'll

2202
01:55:25.720 --> 01:55:29.960
keep all the runaways that can capture to flatten on. Oh,

2203
01:55:30.119 --> 01:55:34.319
they prefer the reward. Still, I doubt if they've entirely

2204
01:55:34.399 --> 01:55:37.640
lost the habit of cannibals, peace by peace.

2205
01:55:37.720 --> 01:55:38.039
Parrot.

2206
01:55:38.319 --> 01:55:41.520
First they'll sample you, then they'll make a stew out

2207
01:55:41.560 --> 01:55:43.760
of your brains. Oh, they won't miss a thing.

2208
01:55:43.960 --> 01:55:48.399
Shut up, philer room, well, filthy brutes.

2209
01:55:48.560 --> 01:55:52.479
Oh, I almost forgot. We have one of them with us.

2210
01:55:59.119 --> 01:56:01.119
The port man was steering the raft.

2211
01:56:01.720 --> 01:56:03.119
He sat crouched in the.

2212
01:56:03.119 --> 01:56:07.560
Stern, his body glistening with spray. His huge, dark hands

2213
01:56:07.640 --> 01:56:11.960
held the steering paddle. He was motionless, like an idol,

2214
01:56:12.640 --> 01:56:14.680
his eyes fixed on the course ahead.

2215
01:56:15.520 --> 01:56:20.439
The fourth man on the raft. You are looking at

2216
01:56:20.479 --> 01:56:24.960
a cannarch, my friend. You will see nothing superior, no

2217
01:56:25.159 --> 01:56:28.239
line of beauty to redeem the low angle of the forehead,

2218
01:56:28.600 --> 01:56:32.319
the knobby joints of the body. Nature has stamped him

2219
01:56:32.319 --> 01:56:35.560
with the mark of inferiority, and he has set the

2220
01:56:35.640 --> 01:56:39.720
final seal himself with that twist of bark about his middle,

2221
01:56:40.119 --> 01:56:42.239
that prong of pig ivory through his nose.

2222
01:56:42.600 --> 01:56:45.319
Yes, But nonetheless, he is a man, and there is

2223
01:56:45.359 --> 01:56:48.720
a price on our heads. She could be taking us.

2224
01:56:48.760 --> 01:56:52.800
Worry alike, Calm yourself and aerouh. This is a very

2225
01:56:52.960 --> 01:56:55.640
simple animal and Infantryly.

2226
01:56:55.439 --> 01:56:57.960
Does that mean he couldn't double cross us?

2227
01:56:58.319 --> 01:56:58.720
It does.

2228
01:56:59.439 --> 01:57:02.199
He is bound by his duty. I made my bargain

2229
01:57:02.279 --> 01:57:04.520
with his chief up the river, and this one is

2230
01:57:04.560 --> 01:57:07.359
sent to deliver us on board our ship. That's the

2231
01:57:07.520 --> 01:57:10.000
only interest he has in us, and he'll do it.

2232
01:57:10.520 --> 01:57:10.880
He will.

2233
01:57:11.560 --> 01:57:12.960
That is the nature of the native.

2234
01:57:13.239 --> 01:57:15.199
I don't trust him, not for a minute.

2235
01:57:15.600 --> 01:57:22.840
The brute animal you, it's you, I'm talking about, you,

2236
01:57:23.199 --> 01:57:27.520
dirty brute. Save your breath, ferret. He speaks no language,

2237
01:57:27.920 --> 01:57:31.680
only a few noises, few signs. I don't feel right

2238
01:57:32.279 --> 01:57:34.439
on the same wrath with that.

2239
01:57:35.560 --> 01:57:38.920
Well, burn yourselves up in the sun if you like me,

2240
01:57:40.039 --> 01:57:42.600
I'm going to crawl under a mat get some sleep.

2241
01:57:43.399 --> 01:57:48.560
Yes, we should all sleep a little, conserve ourselves, and

2242
01:57:48.720 --> 01:57:52.680
when we awake, our ship will be here, our saucy

2243
01:57:52.760 --> 01:57:56.680
little topsail schooner, a mass standing out against the sky,

2244
01:57:57.119 --> 01:58:01.640
and will be on our way to France. Is sleep,

2245
01:58:02.000 --> 01:58:02.680
my friends.

2246
01:58:11.560 --> 01:58:14.680
The two younger convicts dozed under the heat of the day,

2247
01:58:15.520 --> 01:58:18.960
but not the doctor. He stood once again to sweep

2248
01:58:19.039 --> 01:58:22.520
the sky line under his sheaded hand. His plan had

2249
01:58:22.560 --> 01:58:27.039
been so careful, so precise. He had counted absolutely on

2250
01:58:27.239 --> 01:58:30.960
meeting the ship, a small schooner, one of those flitting,

2251
01:58:31.039 --> 01:58:34.439
half piratical traders of the Copra Islands that can be

2252
01:58:34.560 --> 01:58:39.279
hired like cabs in a dark street or any sinister enterprise.

2253
01:58:40.399 --> 01:58:43.479
And there was no ship, and there.

2254
01:58:43.479 --> 01:58:46.840
Was no cross roads where one might sit and wait.

2255
01:58:56.680 --> 01:58:56.720
Er.

2256
01:58:58.800 --> 01:59:01.680
Eh, good morning, doc, it's afternoon pheneral.

2257
01:59:02.560 --> 01:59:06.680
Oh, yes, so it is. I slept like a copse.

2258
01:59:07.399 --> 01:59:11.720
Hey, where's the ship, doctor? It was going to be

2259
01:59:11.880 --> 01:59:14.199
here when we woke up. It will be.

2260
01:59:15.079 --> 01:59:15.720
I'm thirsty.

2261
01:59:15.840 --> 01:59:17.359
I'm dying with thirst.

2262
01:59:17.800 --> 01:59:19.640
So well, where's the flask?

2263
01:59:20.560 --> 01:59:21.840
I'm roasted in the sun.

2264
01:59:22.199 --> 01:59:24.920
You just have to roast some more. This crew is

2265
01:59:25.000 --> 01:59:29.279
put on rations. What are you talking about? Where's that water?

2266
01:59:29.960 --> 01:59:30.600
I have it here?

2267
01:59:31.199 --> 01:59:37.319
Show your hair? Do you think it's yours? No, it's ours, parrot.

2268
01:59:38.319 --> 01:59:42.680
I want a drink, doctor, think a little parrot. We

2269
01:59:42.880 --> 01:59:46.319
have to guard our supplies like reasonable men. We don't

2270
01:59:46.319 --> 01:59:49.079
know how long we may be floating here. Oh so

2271
01:59:49.279 --> 01:59:52.399
that's how you talk. Now you don't know how long.

2272
01:59:53.159 --> 01:59:55.479
But you were sure enough when we started. I am

2273
01:59:55.520 --> 02:00:00.800
still sure. The ship will come. Cheep cannot stay for

2274
02:00:00.920 --> 02:00:03.680
us in one spot. She'll be cruising to and fro

2275
02:00:03.840 --> 02:00:08.279
until she intercepts us, and we must wait. That's good.

2276
02:00:08.640 --> 02:00:08.880
Wait.

2277
02:00:09.600 --> 02:00:13.079
And in the meantime, why fry here in this heat?

2278
02:00:13.600 --> 02:00:16.279
Our tongues hanging out while you deal us out water

2279
02:00:16.439 --> 02:00:20.920
drop by drop? Perhaps, Oh, a man doesn't live who

2280
02:00:21.000 --> 02:00:22.920
can feed me with a spoon.

2281
02:00:23.520 --> 02:00:26.399
Unless you would die very speedily. We must guard our water.

2282
02:00:27.880 --> 02:00:29.279
We can only do our best.

2283
02:00:29.119 --> 02:00:30.000
With what we have.

2284
02:00:30.800 --> 02:00:36.079
All right, doctor, do your best. Give me a drink.

2285
02:00:36.680 --> 02:00:39.399
You you may have your share, of course, but be

2286
02:00:39.520 --> 02:00:42.600
warned when it's gone, don't come to us to phenerone me.

2287
02:00:42.840 --> 02:00:43.840
Yes, what's fair?

2288
02:00:44.039 --> 02:00:44.479
Is fair?

2289
02:00:44.680 --> 02:00:45.399
My drink?

2290
02:00:47.119 --> 02:00:47.520
Very well?

2291
02:00:52.119 --> 02:00:57.359
Oh, a symbolful one, thymble this way. We should have

2292
02:00:57.479 --> 02:01:00.319
enough for three days, maybe more. Will he push shares

2293
02:01:00.319 --> 02:01:01.119
among the three of us?

2294
02:01:01.600 --> 02:01:04.079
That's right, there are only three of us.

2295
02:01:05.079 --> 02:01:08.720
You were you were thinking of him, General of a pilot.

2296
02:01:10.039 --> 02:01:13.319
He looks somewhat like us, doesn't he. But his body

2297
02:01:13.399 --> 02:01:17.720
has never known clothes, his feet shoes. His heart has

2298
02:01:18.000 --> 02:01:20.800
never known the swelling that comes with feelings of love

2299
02:01:20.920 --> 02:01:24.680
or beauty. His mind has never known a single thought.

2300
02:01:26.960 --> 02:01:32.520
Look at us, three gentlemen. You Pheneral a forger, you

2301
02:01:32.720 --> 02:01:37.399
Parrot a thief, and I, doctor de Beaus of Paris

2302
02:01:37.560 --> 02:01:43.840
and Marseilles, a murderer. And yet we are civilized men.

2303
02:01:44.600 --> 02:01:49.399
And this is a savage general, and our provisions are

2304
02:01:49.520 --> 02:01:50.560
for civilized men.

2305
02:01:50.680 --> 02:01:50.960
On me.

2306
02:01:56.720 --> 02:02:04.000
And the three men awoke to the second day on

2307
02:02:04.159 --> 02:02:08.680
the raft. They looked and saw the far round horizon,

2308
02:02:08.760 --> 02:02:11.239
and the empty desert of the sea, and their own

2309
02:02:11.359 --> 02:02:15.359
long shadows that slipped slowly before them over its smooth,

2310
02:02:15.720 --> 02:02:20.119
slow heaving. The land had sunk away from them in

2311
02:02:20.199 --> 02:02:25.119
the night. The trap had been sprung. As the savage

2312
02:02:25.159 --> 02:02:27.840
sun kindled upon them with the power of a burning glass.

2313
02:02:28.479 --> 02:02:34.840
A calm fell, an absolute calm. The air hung weighted,

2314
02:02:35.760 --> 02:02:40.359
the sea heaved and fell in polished undulations, and the

2315
02:02:40.520 --> 02:02:44.640
sun shone, driving in under their eyelids like white hot splinters.

2316
02:02:45.640 --> 02:02:49.960
They crawled to the shelter of the mats, gasping, shriveling,

2317
02:02:51.359 --> 02:02:55.880
and the water, the world of water, was slack and

2318
02:02:56.119 --> 02:02:57.000
thick as oil.

2319
02:02:59.159 --> 02:03:05.319
A only doctor DeVos, Yes, parrot, look around you?

2320
02:03:06.319 --> 02:03:07.520
What do you mean? Go on?

2321
02:03:08.000 --> 02:03:08.600
Look around?

2322
02:03:09.640 --> 02:03:10.319
What do you see?

2323
02:03:11.359 --> 02:03:16.279
I see water, parrot, and the horizon, nothing else.

2324
02:03:17.359 --> 02:03:21.880
Don't you see a ship, A saucy little schooner, those

2325
02:03:21.960 --> 02:03:22.760
were your words?

2326
02:03:23.760 --> 02:03:27.119
Well, where is it? Why don't you see it? It

2327
02:03:27.199 --> 02:03:30.239
will come? Will it comfort us to be dead when

2328
02:03:30.279 --> 02:03:30.800
it comes?

2329
02:03:31.039 --> 02:03:34.479
You say that you count on your friends, But suppose

2330
02:03:34.520 --> 02:03:36.800
they leave you to rot here, parrot, and me the

2331
02:03:36.920 --> 02:03:40.560
rot here? That would be a joke, hey, doctor, to

2332
02:03:40.680 --> 02:03:42.760
wait for a ship that will never come.

2333
02:03:43.000 --> 02:03:43.600
It will come.

2334
02:03:44.359 --> 02:03:45.560
My friends will not fail me.

2335
02:03:45.720 --> 02:03:46.520
Why how do you know?

2336
02:03:46.800 --> 02:03:50.439
How can you be so sure? There's a safety vault

2337
02:03:50.520 --> 02:03:53.239
in Paris full of papers to be opened at my death.

2338
02:03:54.079 --> 02:03:59.960
Those papers contain confessions. No, gentlemen, my friends will not

2339
02:04:00.199 --> 02:04:08.319
fail me. And perrot eh. A moment ago you asked

2340
02:04:08.399 --> 02:04:12.680
me what I saw, Well, there was something I neglected.

2341
02:04:13.239 --> 02:04:13.840
What's there?

2342
02:04:15.199 --> 02:04:18.600
I see a canack and this raft with us. He

2343
02:04:18.680 --> 02:04:21.319
does not join us, He does not look at us.

2344
02:04:22.159 --> 02:04:24.800
He sits on his heels in the way of the Native,

2345
02:04:25.439 --> 02:04:29.520
with his arms hugging his knees. He sits at the stern, motionless,

2346
02:04:29.680 --> 02:04:33.520
under the shattering sun, gazing out into it, into vacancy.

2347
02:04:35.119 --> 02:04:38.960
Whenever I raise my eyes, I see nothing else, only

2348
02:04:39.039 --> 02:04:39.600
this canack.

2349
02:04:40.319 --> 02:04:43.119
He he seems to be enjoying himself.

2350
02:04:43.359 --> 02:04:43.960
Quite well.

2351
02:04:44.680 --> 02:04:50.279
I was thinking so myself, the cannibal savage. He does

2352
02:04:50.359 --> 02:04:51.359
not seem to suffer.

2353
02:04:52.079 --> 02:04:55.399
What's going on in his brain? What does he dream of?

2354
02:04:55.560 --> 02:04:55.760
There?

2355
02:04:57.279 --> 02:05:01.439
Lipses Though he hates us, dirty rat, Maybe he's waiting

2356
02:05:01.479 --> 02:05:04.720
for us to die. Maybe he's waiting for the reward.

2357
02:05:05.720 --> 02:05:08.159
At least he wouldn't starve on the way home. He

2358
02:05:08.239 --> 02:05:10.319
could deliver us, please my peace.

2359
02:05:12.439 --> 02:05:13.039
No does he do?

2360
02:05:13.159 --> 02:05:13.640
A doctor?

2361
02:05:14.439 --> 02:05:19.560
Hasn't he any feeling? I've been wondering, maybe that his

2362
02:05:19.760 --> 02:05:24.760
fibers are tougher. But we've had water and he hasn't yet.

2363
02:05:25.399 --> 02:05:28.520
See his skin. He's moist and fresh.

2364
02:05:28.560 --> 02:05:32.479
And his belly that is a football. Don't tell me

2365
02:05:32.600 --> 02:05:36.399
this savage is thirsty. Is there any way he could

2366
02:05:36.439 --> 02:05:37.600
steal our supplies?

2367
02:05:37.920 --> 02:05:38.319
Certainly?

2368
02:05:38.399 --> 02:05:38.439
Not.

2369
02:05:39.039 --> 02:05:41.960
Suppose he has his own supplies hidden?

2370
02:05:42.199 --> 02:05:43.800
Why who will see?

2371
02:05:44.399 --> 02:05:47.319
Search the rat? Come on and look under the match

2372
02:05:47.399 --> 02:05:49.199
turn push him aside.

2373
02:05:51.000 --> 02:05:54.039
Gentlemen, gentlemen, you were mistaken.

2374
02:05:54.399 --> 02:05:57.439
He has nothing hidden. You're wrong about him.

2375
02:05:57.479 --> 02:05:57.760
Doctor.

2376
02:05:58.520 --> 02:06:02.239
Can you say he has no understanding? There's one thing

2377
02:06:02.279 --> 02:06:16.000
you can understand. Hey much, there's her that'll teach you.

2378
02:06:17.000 --> 02:06:19.960
Not so chippid? Now are you not so happy with

2379
02:06:20.119 --> 02:06:23.000
your luck? That'll make you feel.

2380
02:06:25.760 --> 02:06:25.960
Well?

2381
02:06:26.039 --> 02:06:26.359
Parrot?

2382
02:06:27.239 --> 02:06:33.239
You feel better now, don't you, superior? Come back, my friends,

2383
02:06:33.319 --> 02:06:36.960
come back under the mats. The glare of the sun

2384
02:06:37.079 --> 02:06:38.000
is not so bad there.

2385
02:06:39.760 --> 02:06:42.479
Idiots, what's the matter with our parrot?

2386
02:06:42.600 --> 02:06:42.800
Now?

2387
02:06:43.359 --> 02:06:43.920
Idiots?

2388
02:06:45.199 --> 02:06:49.520
Why do we look and look? The schooner can't help us.

2389
02:06:49.600 --> 02:06:49.760
Now.

2390
02:06:50.880 --> 02:06:53.319
If we're becolmed, then they are too.

2391
02:06:54.279 --> 02:06:54.640
Doctor?

2392
02:06:55.600 --> 02:06:59.920
Is that true, Yes, we must talk for a breeze first.

2393
02:07:00.479 --> 02:07:03.279
Then why didn't you tell us we trust you? Why

2394
02:07:03.319 --> 02:07:05.119
do you keep on playing out the farce?

2395
02:07:05.560 --> 02:07:10.000
You are wise, doctor, you are very wise.

2396
02:07:10.640 --> 02:07:14.399
Put down the knife, parrot. You know things we don't,

2397
02:07:15.039 --> 02:07:19.880
and you keep them to yourself. All right, But be

2398
02:07:20.119 --> 02:07:23.279
careful if you think you use your.

2399
02:07:23.239 --> 02:07:27.600
Wisdom to get the best of us. Be careful, doctor,

2400
02:07:28.560 --> 02:07:31.159
because I still have the knife.

2401
02:07:37.720 --> 02:07:41.600
And so the days dragged by the second, the third,

2402
02:07:42.439 --> 02:07:45.279
and now it was the fourth day, and still there

2403
02:07:45.399 --> 02:07:48.920
was no breeze, and still there was no ship.

2404
02:07:51.039 --> 02:07:56.399
A doctor, Yes, what do you what do you Stare

2405
02:07:56.520 --> 02:08:01.960
at him, at him, the native, the canark?

2406
02:08:03.439 --> 02:08:09.960
I look at him, and look at us. We are dying,

2407
02:08:10.960 --> 02:08:18.119
our powers are ebbing, and him naked, wild, brutish, he

2408
02:08:18.239 --> 02:08:22.720
has yet to give the slightest sign of complaint or weakness. Doctor,

2409
02:08:23.520 --> 02:08:27.439
Is this a man or a fiend? A man?

2410
02:08:28.880 --> 02:08:31.000
It is a man, a miracle.

2411
02:08:31.640 --> 02:08:34.439
It is a man, and a very poor and wretched

2412
02:08:34.520 --> 02:08:39.239
example of a man. You'll find no lower type anywhere.

2413
02:08:40.359 --> 02:08:43.880
Look at his cranial ankle, the high years, the heavy

2414
02:08:43.920 --> 02:08:48.119
bones of his skull. Why he's scarcely above an ape,

2415
02:08:48.479 --> 02:08:54.239
and what he has a secret, a secret.

2416
02:08:56.079 --> 02:09:00.439
We see him every movie, makes every minute, and says

2417
02:09:00.479 --> 02:09:00.680
he for.

2418
02:09:00.760 --> 02:09:07.640
A secret absurd. Here are we three children of the century,

2419
02:09:08.239 --> 02:09:12.600
products of civilization, and here is this savage who belongs

2420
02:09:12.680 --> 02:09:16.039
before the stone age? Is he to win this struggle?

2421
02:09:16.760 --> 02:09:20.399
M h sir? What kind of secret?

2422
02:09:21.600 --> 02:09:22.319
I can't say.

2423
02:09:23.319 --> 02:09:28.000
Perhaps some method of breathing, some strange posture he uses

2424
02:09:28.119 --> 02:09:31.479
to cheat the sensations of the body. Such things are

2425
02:09:31.560 --> 02:09:37.399
known among primitive peoples, known and jealously guarded, like the

2426
02:09:37.520 --> 02:09:41.159
properties of certain drugs, the uses of hypnotism.

2427
02:09:42.720 --> 02:09:47.000
Who knows? We can know? We can find out?

2428
02:09:47.399 --> 02:09:52.079
Would you ask him useless? He would not tell. Why

2429
02:09:52.119 --> 02:09:57.000
should he? We scorn him, We give him no share

2430
02:09:57.079 --> 02:10:01.239
with us, We abuse him, so he falls back upon

2431
02:10:01.319 --> 02:10:04.479
his own expedients. They are a means by which he

2432
02:10:04.520 --> 02:10:07.640
has survived from the depth of time, by which he

2433
02:10:07.720 --> 02:10:10.039
may yet survive when all our wisdom is dust.

2434
02:10:10.439 --> 02:10:14.720
There are a number of ways of learning secrets. I

2435
02:10:15.000 --> 02:10:15.640
know them all.

2436
02:10:16.239 --> 02:10:20.479
It would be useless. How can he stand any torture

2437
02:10:20.520 --> 02:10:27.359
you might invent? You saw how he behaved before. No, No,

2438
02:10:27.680 --> 02:10:29.359
that's not the way, or.

2439
02:10:29.600 --> 02:10:33.439
Listen to my way. I'm tired of all this talk.

2440
02:10:34.159 --> 02:10:34.479
U shay.

2441
02:10:34.560 --> 02:10:37.520
He's a man, all right, and he has blood in

2442
02:10:37.640 --> 02:10:40.239
his veins. At least we could drink.

2443
02:10:40.479 --> 02:10:43.840
Oh, it would be too hot, it would be salt.

2444
02:10:44.600 --> 02:10:47.560
Well kill him then and throw him over the side.

2445
02:10:48.359 --> 02:10:49.840
Let's be rid of the thing.

2446
02:10:50.000 --> 02:10:52.920
We gain nothing. Then, what do you want?

2447
02:10:54.000 --> 02:10:57.520
I want to beat him, That's what I want to

2448
02:10:57.640 --> 02:11:00.359
beat him at the game. For our own aches, for

2449
02:11:00.439 --> 02:11:01.399
our racial pride.

2450
02:11:01.439 --> 02:11:02.119
We must.

2451
02:11:03.680 --> 02:11:10.239
Blessed him, to prove ourselves his masters. Watch him, Watch

2452
02:11:10.359 --> 02:11:11.279
him closely, my.

2453
02:11:11.399 --> 02:11:12.840
Friends, watch.

2454
02:11:14.159 --> 02:11:20.439
I'll watch all right, my good doctor. I'm not sleeping anymore,

2455
02:11:21.079 --> 02:11:23.239
and leave you alone with that bottle.

2456
02:11:23.479 --> 02:11:25.199
The bottle, the bottle.

2457
02:11:25.520 --> 02:11:29.239
I've been meaning to discuss our rations with you. Have

2458
02:11:29.479 --> 02:11:34.119
you running very short? I'm afraid we must cut down again.

2459
02:11:34.359 --> 02:11:39.880
And what I will cut to half a thimbleful? We

2460
02:11:40.000 --> 02:11:44.680
must keep our wits. I say no, all right, then

2461
02:11:44.720 --> 02:11:47.479
we'll put it to a vote. You say no. I

2462
02:11:47.640 --> 02:11:53.319
say yes, penero, yes, yes, anything, but give me mind now.

2463
02:11:55.079 --> 02:12:01.520
Then it's half a thimbleful for monsieur. Peron yourself.

2464
02:12:04.760 --> 02:12:06.199
More more, I'll die.

2465
02:12:06.359 --> 02:12:06.960
Give me more.

2466
02:12:07.239 --> 02:12:11.119
No more today, you must you must doctor, no more today.

2467
02:12:12.439 --> 02:12:13.399
Look a ship?

2468
02:12:13.600 --> 02:12:13.960
A ship?

2469
02:12:15.800 --> 02:12:17.479
Where is it? I don't see any ship.

2470
02:12:18.159 --> 02:12:18.840
It's a trick.

2471
02:12:19.279 --> 02:12:21.199
Look, Federal, he has the bottle.

2472
02:12:21.479 --> 02:12:26.520
You don't look at him.

2473
02:12:27.720 --> 02:12:31.000
You killed him with that? Or what about the bottle?

2474
02:12:31.800 --> 02:12:32.000
Eh?

2475
02:12:32.760 --> 02:12:35.319
Yes, there's some left. You caught him just in time,

2476
02:12:35.600 --> 02:12:39.279
and you caught the bottle just in time, it seems

2477
02:12:39.319 --> 02:12:39.600
I did.

2478
02:12:40.720 --> 02:12:42.399
And there is no ship.

2479
02:12:43.520 --> 02:12:45.159
There will be no ship.

2480
02:12:46.359 --> 02:12:51.680
We are done because of you and your dirty promises

2481
02:12:51.800 --> 02:12:52.720
that brought us here.

2482
02:12:53.960 --> 02:12:57.159
Doctor, he lie, are fool.

2483
02:12:57.319 --> 02:13:00.560
Don't come any closer unless you want this lies broken

2484
02:13:00.640 --> 02:13:07.640
over your head. No, I wouldn't want better. Just think, parrot,

2485
02:13:08.399 --> 02:13:12.079
Why should you and I fight? We can see this

2486
02:13:12.199 --> 02:13:17.720
trouble through and win. Yet this calm can't last forever. Besides,

2487
02:13:18.399 --> 02:13:20.520
there will be only two of us to divide the water.

2488
02:13:20.680 --> 02:13:20.840
Now.

2489
02:13:21.319 --> 02:13:26.439
Ye that's true, isn't it. Na kind of leaves us

2490
02:13:26.560 --> 02:13:33.560
his share an inheritance. All right, I'll take mine.

2491
02:13:33.399 --> 02:13:41.720
Now, my share right now. If you please, Later we'll see.

2492
02:13:43.279 --> 02:13:43.720
So be it.

2493
02:13:48.119 --> 02:13:48.920
Your share.

2494
02:13:50.520 --> 02:13:52.840
A many things.

2495
02:13:54.079 --> 02:14:05.640
Now venerous share to me. Please as you say, and

2496
02:14:05.800 --> 02:14:17.640
now another another good doctor. Three, that's enough, parrot, No doctor,

2497
02:14:18.680 --> 02:14:25.920
it's not enough. Now I'll take the rest. Pet, stop

2498
02:14:26.279 --> 02:14:28.560
my arm. I'll kill you if you.

2499
02:14:28.640 --> 02:14:29.279
Don't let go.

2500
02:14:32.479 --> 02:14:38.840
Thank you you see I have manners, haven't I? And

2501
02:14:39.319 --> 02:14:44.680
I have wisdom too, because I fooled a very wise man.

2502
02:14:46.640 --> 02:14:47.600
I toast you.

2503
02:14:47.840 --> 02:14:48.159
Doctor.

2504
02:14:49.439 --> 02:14:50.920
The best man wins.

2505
02:14:52.119 --> 02:14:56.079
That was a bright idea of yours, the best.

2506
02:14:57.319 --> 02:15:00.319
No h.

2507
02:15:04.880 --> 02:15:12.960
M hmmm, So so the best man wins it. You

2508
02:15:13.119 --> 02:15:14.760
forgot I'm inducted, didn't you?

2509
02:15:15.760 --> 02:15:15.800
You?

2510
02:15:16.079 --> 02:15:18.920
You forgot that a man cannot go without water for

2511
02:15:19.079 --> 02:15:22.600
four days, then drink his fill and live through it.

2512
02:15:24.640 --> 02:15:29.920
Go on, parro it gus about your worthless life while

2513
02:15:29.960 --> 02:15:36.319
I laugh. The best man always wins. Parrot the best.

2514
02:15:36.159 --> 02:15:41.399
Man m hm, So.

2515
02:15:42.960 --> 02:15:44.199
Best man wins.

2516
02:15:44.439 --> 02:15:47.920
Yes, doctor, you forgot my life?

2517
02:15:48.039 --> 02:15:50.039
Didn't you forgot me?

2518
02:15:50.840 --> 02:15:54.239
Lying at your feet? Give me a forget, didn't you?

2519
02:15:55.640 --> 02:15:55.800
Now?

2520
02:15:56.439 --> 02:16:02.479
It is I general rule out last, do you? He's

2521
02:16:02.560 --> 02:16:05.159
my good doctor, the best man.

2522
02:16:06.479 --> 02:16:11.000
Always? Hm hmmm, Roo.

2523
02:16:12.439 --> 02:16:17.920
You fool the water it's running out?

2524
02:16:20.640 --> 02:16:36.680
Oh oh.

2525
02:16:38.959 --> 02:17:01.399
Oh m, I mean I mean hi, longboat spatcher.

2526
02:17:01.719 --> 02:17:03.159
All right, send Martin.

2527
02:17:03.319 --> 02:17:06.840
He's right here, sir, bad luck, Sir Raff was here

2528
02:17:06.920 --> 02:17:09.159
all the time, not ten miles away from us.

2529
02:17:09.639 --> 02:17:12.120
That calm well, are right.

2530
02:17:12.159 --> 02:17:14.200
The passengers we're too late.

2531
02:17:14.319 --> 02:17:18.799
They're all dead, all dead, eh, Yes, one stabbed to death,

2532
02:17:18.920 --> 02:17:21.840
another skull crushed, the other fried by the sun.

2533
02:17:22.239 --> 02:17:22.719
All dead.

2534
02:17:23.200 --> 02:17:26.959
Well, all the better because there's nothing to feed. Yeah,

2535
02:17:26.959 --> 02:17:30.120
but how are you going hogs hits? My friend, hogs

2536
02:17:30.159 --> 02:17:33.159
heads in the afterhold. Fill them nicely with Brian, and

2537
02:17:34.239 --> 02:17:34.840
there we are.

2538
02:17:35.360 --> 02:17:36.319
I don't understand.

2539
02:17:36.559 --> 02:17:40.440
Oh, you're dull, Mato, very dull. The gentleman's passage is

2540
02:17:40.520 --> 02:17:43.840
all paid. Before we left Sydney, I contracted to bring

2541
02:17:44.000 --> 02:17:49.879
back free escaped convicts. I'll bring them back pickled. So

2542
02:17:49.959 --> 02:17:52.200
if you'll go back much and bring them aboard with

2543
02:17:52.280 --> 02:17:53.680
the trip, I'll be much so black.

2544
02:17:53.760 --> 02:17:56.159
All right, Well, sir, Oh, there's a fourth man on

2545
02:17:56.239 --> 02:17:59.280
the raft, Captain Kannak, still alive.

2546
02:18:00.040 --> 02:18:04.120
We do with him, Kannak, No word might contract of

2547
02:18:04.200 --> 02:18:06.239
any Karnak leave him ere.

2548
02:18:06.280 --> 02:18:07.479
He's only a savage.

2549
02:18:10.639 --> 02:18:13.959
And so doctor de Bourse and Fennerou and the parrot

2550
02:18:14.600 --> 02:18:17.840
went aboard for the long trip to their beloved Paris,

2551
02:18:18.799 --> 02:18:22.040
their bodies pitching and rolling gently in.

2552
02:18:22.120 --> 02:18:24.079
The huge vats of brine.

2553
02:18:25.680 --> 02:18:26.360
On the raft.

2554
02:18:26.799 --> 02:18:30.959
The poortman raised his head slightly as a wind freshing

2555
02:18:31.079 --> 02:18:35.639
from the west. He watched until the schooner turned, shaping

2556
02:18:35.719 --> 02:18:39.600
away for Australia, and disappeared over the rim of the horizon.

2557
02:18:40.600 --> 02:18:44.399
Then he spread his sailor pandanus leaves and headed his

2558
02:18:44.559 --> 02:18:52.360
raft eastward back toward New Caledonia, Back toward home. Feeling

2559
02:18:52.520 --> 02:18:56.680
somewhat dry after his exertion, the native plucked a hollow

2560
02:18:56.799 --> 02:18:59.120
reed at random from the rushes.

2561
02:18:58.760 --> 02:18:59.440
On his raft.

2562
02:19:00.280 --> 02:19:04.639
Slowly, lazily, he stretched himself at full length in his

2563
02:19:04.760 --> 02:19:08.799
accustomed place at the stern. He thrust the reed down

2564
02:19:09.120 --> 02:19:12.879
deep into one of the bladders underneath the raft, and

2565
02:19:13.120 --> 02:19:18.360
slowly drank his fill of sweet water. He had a

2566
02:19:18.440 --> 02:19:21.959
dozen such storage bladders remaining built into the floats at

2567
02:19:22.000 --> 02:19:26.000
intervals above the water line, quite enough to last him

2568
02:19:26.639 --> 02:19:28.000
safely home again.

2569
02:19:43.520 --> 02:19:46.639

2576
02:20:38.719 --> 02:20:44.639
Well, My Dear, The evening is about complete. I like

2577
02:20:44.719 --> 02:20:48.920
putting it that way. That's how it feels, not like

2578
02:20:49.079 --> 02:20:53.920
it's ending, but like it's where it's supposed to be.

2579
02:20:55.440 --> 02:20:59.360
But please do come back, and soon I'll be right here,

2580
02:21:00.239 --> 02:21:07.559
same time, same place, ready to share more farn and

2581
02:21:08.479 --> 02:21:13.120
fear with you. Until then, could you do me just

2582
02:21:13.520 --> 02:21:18.479
one more favor, nothing too out of the ordinary. Just

2583
02:21:19.159 --> 02:21:22.479
after you make your way home and wander through the dark,

2584
02:21:22.639 --> 02:21:25.239
as you find your way to your candle in the

2585
02:21:25.319 --> 02:21:29.120
window and lay your head to go to sleep, take

2586
02:21:29.200 --> 02:21:33.040
one moment as you drift away to the land of nod,

2587
02:21:33.799 --> 02:21:39.559
and for that one tiny moment, be thankful for what

2588
02:21:39.760 --> 02:22:01.399
you have. I'll be seeing you soon, Holy holylo
