Unknown Broadcast slips once more into the Weekly Spooky feed with old-time radio horror stories, classic OTR suspense, vintage mystery radio, psychological terror, crime, fate, and uncanny dread. This transmission begins with The Lady Was a Tiger, a tale of false safety, hidden danger, and a man caught in a tightening web of murder, espionage, and betrayal, where home itself starts to feel like a trap.

🐅 The Lady Was a Tiger — What seems safe turns lethal, what feels like home becomes a prison, and danger wears a human face until it doesn’t. It has that deliciously sharp old-radio blend of intrigue, menace, and doom closing in from every side.
🕰️ Destiny — The shadowed voice promises “the amazing story of destiny,” and the tale leans hard into fate, inevitability, and the ruin waiting for anyone foolish enough to think he can outwit what is already written. It feels like noir with prophecy hanging over it.
🌹 Uncle Henry’s Rosebush — Rot, neglect, old rooms, and one impossible rosebush holding its place against the ruin around it. This one carries a graveyard stillness, a buried secret, and the creeping sense that something ugly has been tended with care for far too long.
👁️ The Horla — By the end, the night gives way to something stranger and more cosmic, as “phantoms of a world gone by” usher in The Horla. Madness, possession, and the fear of an unseen intelligence seep through this final story like poison through old walls.

For listeners chasing classic OTR horror, vintage suspense radio, murder mysteries, psychological horror, supernatural dread, and eerie anthology storytelling, this episode is full of shadows that look human right up until they don’t — and some things are simply unknown to us, at least for a while.

00:00:09.519 --> 00:00:14.199
My dear, good to see you back again for a

2
00:00:14.240 --> 00:00:20.719
little chill to go with your evening. Oh what's that?

3
00:00:20.879 --> 00:00:21.280
Well?

4
00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:25.320
I suppose you'll just have to wait and find out.

5
00:00:25.440 --> 00:00:31.519
Won't you please have a seat, make yourself at at home?

6
00:00:33.439 --> 00:00:39.880
I suppose that word is apt, although sometimes appearances are

7
00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:43.520
not all they are cracked up to be, are they.

8
00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:45.240
No?

9
00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:55.759
Sometimes safety is really danger, sometimes home is really a prison.

10
00:00:57.679 --> 00:01:01.399
But of course the most andress of all was when

11
00:01:01.439 --> 00:01:05.680
I realized the lady was a tiger.

of Education and the Kansas City Teachers Union has been

29
00:01:55.719 --> 00:01:59.120
filed on the docket of US District Court Judge Elmo Hunter.

30
00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:01.640

NEAA representing Shawn Emission teachers and that district school board

41
00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:37.719
appear to have been stalemated, with teachers apparently demanding more

42
00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:40.719
than the ten and a half percent increase reportedly offered

43
00:02:40.719 --> 00:02:43.960

and search policy and the operation Zebra Hunt for the

00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:07.520
killer of twelve whites. A member of the group, Officer

Jesse Byrd, announced, we are guess.

51
00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:12.960
As much concern about the apprehension of the individual by

52
00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:16.840
individuals at anyone else, but we do not approve of

53
00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:19.639
the CASTAPO type tactics that are being used.

54
00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:21.439
Well all we do not approve.

55
00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:25.719
We do not approve of people being stopped at fripp

56
00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:29.879
at random. We can only view this at another type.

Of rack men.

58
00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:34.280
Officer Byrd's objection came as five black civic leaders filed

59
00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:37.560
a class action suit saying the tactics of searching blacks

60
00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:41.680
who matched the Zebra killer's description in San Francisco are unconstitutional.

61

his daughter, Julie Eisenhower in Bethesda, Maryland. Mark Felt, former

83
00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:15.480
Associate director of the FBI, says the White House asked

84
00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:18.759
him to issue news releases on Watergate that he considered

85
00:05:18.759 --> 00:05:21.720
improper for the FBI to be involved in. Felt ran

86
00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:25.199
the FBI after j Edgar Hoover's death. The defense has

165
00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:47.039
I'll be back shortly.

166
00:09:47.039 --> 00:09:48.320
With that one.

167
00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:49.120
Hi.

168
00:09:49.480 --> 00:09:53.480
I'm Goldilocks, miss Goldiloxe, if you please, And I'm a

169
00:09:53.519 --> 00:09:58.679
professional taste tester here at my Taste Test Laboratory, that's

170
00:09:58.720 --> 00:09:59.919
TTL for sure.

171
00:10:00.679 --> 00:10:05.159
I taste test everything from porridge to diet drinks. Actually

172
00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:08.480
there's not that much taste testing in porridge these days.

173
00:10:08.799 --> 00:10:11.480
There used to be once upon a time.

174
00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:14.720
I mean, that's how this miss got into the biz.

175
00:10:15.559 --> 00:10:18.799
But lately it's been diet drinks. I mean, with so

176
00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:22.639
many diet drinks going sugar free. I've been really busy

177
00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:27.000
conducting taste tests, a rather unbearable.

178
00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:27.559
Assignment, to be sure.

179
00:10:27.919 --> 00:10:33.720
But then I discovered sugar free Diet seven up, Fresh, Natural, delicious.

180
00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:37.000
My only problem is that sugar free Diet seven up

181
00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:40.799
tastes so good that it broke my Goldilock's diet.

182
00:10:40.480 --> 00:10:41.639
Drink taste Demeter.

183
00:10:42.399 --> 00:10:45.799
Well, sugar free Diet seven up certainly has my seal

184
00:10:45.879 --> 00:10:46.600
of approval.

185
00:10:47.679 --> 00:10:49.559
This one's just right.

186
00:10:51.759 --> 00:10:54.679
Don't let anyone con you into thinking it's wrong to

187
00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:58.080
turn in a heroin pusher. You're not riting. You're doing

188
00:10:58.159 --> 00:11:01.039
your part to wipe out one of the most insidious

189
00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:03.360
epidemics racking our country today.

190
00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:05.480
So don't let anyone kid you.

191
00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:08.600
If you really care about the quality of life, if

192
00:11:08.679 --> 00:11:12.399
you really care about improving society, you'll do everything you

193
00:11:12.519 --> 00:11:15.440
can to get the heroin pusher off the street and

194
00:11:15.559 --> 00:11:19.200
into jail where he belongs. If you have information about

195
00:11:19.200 --> 00:11:22.919
a drug pusher, use the heroin Hotline. The number is

196
00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:26.480
eight OO three six eight five three sixty three. That's

197
00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:30.000
toll free from anywhere in the country. The number again

198
00:11:30.080 --> 00:11:33.399
is eight O three six eight five three sixty three.

199
00:11:33.960 --> 00:11:37.279
A trained operator will answer your call, take your information

200
00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:41.120
and pass it on to experience federal agents who will investigate.

201
00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:44.919
You'll make your own special contribution toward helping us wipe

202
00:11:44.960 --> 00:11:48.759
out what President Nixon has called public Enemy Number one.

203
00:11:49.279 --> 00:12:03.879
Call eight oo three six eight five three sixty three.

204
00:12:04.879 --> 00:12:09.519
Walking is great exercise, and with good weather can also

205
00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:13.799
be great fun. But not when you've just been fired

206
00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:17.240
by the editor of the newspaper for which you've worked happily.

207
00:12:16.879 --> 00:12:22.399
For five years. Larry Fielding has been walking aimlessly.

208
00:12:21.879 --> 00:12:26.200
For two hours, trying to figure out why Horace Finley,

209
00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:30.000
the editor, and his boss, had refused to give him

210
00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:35.440
any reason for his dismissal. Tormented by his frustrating thoughts

211
00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:39.840
and tired, Larry sits down on a park bench to think.

212
00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:44.840
He is so deep in thought he is unaware of

213
00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:49.120
three men who suddenly surround him. Larry has only to

214
00:12:49.159 --> 00:12:52.120
look at them to know that he is in trouble.

215
00:12:52.759 --> 00:12:55.639
He tries to get up, is pushed back down, and

216
00:12:55.679 --> 00:12:57.320
the men start to beat him up.

217
00:12:59.240 --> 00:13:04.080
Take my money, leave me alone, will If you want money,

218
00:13:04.120 --> 00:13:06.399
I don't get told of you, you can have it.

219
00:13:06.960 --> 00:13:14.799
Help Calling for help when you're being mugged in a

220
00:13:14.799 --> 00:13:19.159
Big City park is sometimes as helpful as trying to

221
00:13:19.200 --> 00:13:22.600
catch hold of a window sill in a thirty story fall.

222
00:13:23.799 --> 00:13:28.320
But this time there was a miracle. A stranger has

223
00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:30.799
seen the attack and rushes to help.

224
00:13:33.799 --> 00:13:38.559
They come shack and I show you that you need

225
00:13:38.559 --> 00:13:47.279
to listen. Oh took care of them. They're gone. Oh

226
00:13:47.440 --> 00:13:51.559
let me help you will. Thanks a lot. I tell

227
00:13:51.600 --> 00:13:56.519
you I was in real trouble, my pleasure. Did they

228
00:13:56.559 --> 00:13:57.519
get your wallet?

229
00:13:57.519 --> 00:13:59.960
No, no, no, no, I got a lot of bruise,

230
00:14:00.200 --> 00:14:01.240
but they didn't get a thing.

231
00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:06.559
Say you're a pretty good scrapper for a guy my age.

232
00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:11.279
Well yeah, yeah, what are you a karate expert?

233
00:14:12.000 --> 00:14:15.799
Just keep myself in shape? You sure do. Listen. Can

234
00:14:15.879 --> 00:14:18.639
I do something for you to show you really meant thanks?

235
00:14:19.080 --> 00:14:22.559
You certainly can. How about coffee? Oh sure, sure, but

236
00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:25.840
that's nothing. What I meant was I know what you meant.

237
00:14:25.840 --> 00:14:30.600
My name's Dave Wilson. Oh good, I'm Larry Fielding. Oh

238
00:14:30.639 --> 00:14:39.480
come on, Larry, let's have a cup of coffee.

239
00:14:40.960 --> 00:14:42.799
You know. I still can't get over the way you

240
00:14:42.919 --> 00:14:44.080
tore into those guys.

241
00:14:44.279 --> 00:14:47.799
I was a commander in World War two. World War two,

242
00:14:49.240 --> 00:14:49.879
did you think I.

243
00:14:49.879 --> 00:14:52.320
Was in the Civil War. No, not mean that.

244
00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:54.840
It's just a young fellow like you. World War Two

245
00:14:54.919 --> 00:14:57.279
might as well have been in the last century. It

246
00:14:57.320 --> 00:15:00.240
was only thirty some odd years ago. You know, I know,

247
00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:03.279
I know, after all, I was in the newspaper business. Yeah,

248
00:15:03.559 --> 00:15:05.720
you know that's stuff that you told me about losing

249
00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:08.000
your job. What are you gonna do? I don't know,

250
00:15:08.519 --> 00:15:09.639
look around for another one.

251
00:15:10.440 --> 00:15:12.559
What bothers me is the way my editor let me go,

252
00:15:12.720 --> 00:15:15.519
no explanations. You know we were friends. Do you think

253
00:15:15.559 --> 00:15:17.600
he'd at least tell me why he fired me.

254
00:15:17.879 --> 00:15:21.960
Those things happen. Stop torturing yourself and begin making plan.

255
00:15:22.279 --> 00:15:24.600
Not until I get this thing straightened on my own mind.

256
00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:27.000
I think I'll call my editor at a home tonight, and.

257
00:15:27.120 --> 00:15:30.919
I've got a better idea. Go out and get drunk, huh.

258
00:15:30.919 --> 00:15:36.039
I know, how about a trip to Paris? Are you

259
00:15:36.159 --> 00:15:38.360
putting me on? I'm serious? Or what?

260
00:15:38.440 --> 00:15:41.600
Are you a scout for contestants for some kind of

261
00:15:41.720 --> 00:15:45.600
TV quistion? You know, I am a man sitting on

262
00:15:45.679 --> 00:15:49.399
a couple of hundred thousand dollars and I need a guy.

263
00:15:49.399 --> 00:15:53.200
Just like you. Now. Look, look, I'm a newspaper man.

264
00:15:53.759 --> 00:15:56.120
Anytime a stranger starts talking about a trip to Paris

265
00:15:56.120 --> 00:15:57.600
and a couple of hundred thousand dollars.

266
00:15:57.639 --> 00:15:59.799
I walk away without even listening.

267
00:15:59.840 --> 00:16:02.320
Here, even if the man just happened to maybe save

268
00:16:02.399 --> 00:16:04.559
you from being mugged, robbed and beaten up.

269
00:16:04.600 --> 00:16:08.279
Okay, all right, I'll listen, but believe me that'll be

270
00:16:08.320 --> 00:16:09.639
it fair enough.

271
00:16:10.639 --> 00:16:13.000
First, here's my currn.

272
00:16:13.120 --> 00:16:17.120
Oh h, David Wilson Calridge Imports.

273
00:16:17.120 --> 00:16:17.840
I never heard of him.

274
00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:21.159
You can call and check me out. I told you

275
00:16:21.240 --> 00:16:22.519
I was in World War two.

276
00:16:22.759 --> 00:16:26.039
Oh look, I'm grateful to you, but you're wasting your time.

277
00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:27.840
Why don't you shut up and listen.

278
00:16:29.159 --> 00:16:32.039
You've probably heard about the millions of dollars in artworks

279
00:16:32.039 --> 00:16:36.960
and precious jewels that the Gis liberated during the last

280
00:16:37.039 --> 00:16:37.759
days of the war.

281
00:16:37.960 --> 00:16:40.360
Liberated, sure you well, I've heard story. Well most of

282
00:16:40.360 --> 00:16:41.960
them are true.

283
00:16:42.200 --> 00:16:46.039
One that I know in particular certainly is did you

284
00:16:46.080 --> 00:16:50.639
ever hear the Lancer collection? Lancella the hump de Lanceir

285
00:16:50.840 --> 00:16:54.279
came from an old French family, and the Lancair collection

286
00:16:54.519 --> 00:16:59.039
is a fabulous assortment of diamonds, rubies, emeralds and other

287
00:16:59.200 --> 00:17:03.240
precious storms which were seized by the Nazis when they

288
00:17:03.279 --> 00:17:07.680
swept through France in nineteen forty A pell of mine,

289
00:17:07.720 --> 00:17:10.759
not a commando, happened to come upon the collection when

290
00:17:10.759 --> 00:17:13.720
the Americans were driving the Germans back in forty four.

291
00:17:14.119 --> 00:17:17.319
Women, and he liberated it exactly.

292
00:17:18.039 --> 00:17:24.839
He and a distinguished Frenchman named Henretil, Professor Auretel, the archeologist.

293
00:17:24.880 --> 00:17:29.079
That's the man. Oh, come on, he wouldn't You were

294
00:17:29.119 --> 00:17:29.839
saying something?

295
00:17:31.359 --> 00:17:35.599
No, nothing, you were not say He wouldn't get involved

296
00:17:35.680 --> 00:17:37.279
in anything crooked, weren't you?

297
00:17:38.119 --> 00:17:42.119
Yeah, something like that. You're right, he wouldn't. But he

298
00:17:42.160 --> 00:17:42.680
was younger.

299
00:17:43.680 --> 00:17:46.720
The world was quite different then, and my g I

300
00:17:46.880 --> 00:17:51.759
Pall was a most persuasive guy. They decided to bury

301
00:17:52.319 --> 00:17:57.240
the Lancair collection. They did, They drew a map, and

302
00:17:57.319 --> 00:18:01.480
today Professor Tiel is the only possessor of that map.

303
00:18:02.240 --> 00:18:05.279
And what happened to your nameless friend?

304
00:18:05.759 --> 00:18:11.400
He's dead. Professor Teel wants to return to Jewles. But

305
00:18:11.440 --> 00:18:14.319
that's easy, isn't it not? If the professor doesn't want

306
00:18:14.359 --> 00:18:17.200
embarrassing questions asked about how he came by that that

307
00:18:17.319 --> 00:18:18.240
happened the first place?

308
00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:20.559
Oh what about you?

309
00:18:21.480 --> 00:18:25.039
Tailridge Imports, highly respected and reputable importing firm.

310
00:18:25.920 --> 00:18:28.079
I want to keep it that way Oh, so do

311
00:18:28.200 --> 00:18:30.279
I even though I've just been fired.

312
00:18:30.680 --> 00:18:33.640
You haven't heard what I'm asking you to do. Well,

313
00:18:33.759 --> 00:18:38.799
what come with me to Paris. You're writing a story

314
00:18:38.799 --> 00:18:43.200
on Professor Teal. He's good material. You'll grant me that. Yes, yeah,

315
00:18:43.279 --> 00:18:46.920
you'll interview it naturally. During the course of that interview,

316
00:18:47.480 --> 00:18:49.240
he'll give you a slip of paper, which is a

317
00:18:49.319 --> 00:18:51.599
map showing the location of the jewels.

318
00:18:52.359 --> 00:18:56.119
You'll later deliver it to me. That's all you have

319
00:18:56.200 --> 00:18:57.319
to do.

320
00:18:57.359 --> 00:19:02.960
You mention something about sitting on hundreds of thousands of dollars.

321
00:19:03.079 --> 00:19:05.720
I'm sorry, the Lancer collection is worth that and more.

322
00:19:06.359 --> 00:19:10.400
I'm sitting on it. I intend to return the jewels

323
00:19:11.079 --> 00:19:14.160
and collect the reward. If you want to share in that,

324
00:19:14.200 --> 00:19:16.559
you deserve it.

325
00:19:19.640 --> 00:19:20.440
Missus Wilson.

326
00:19:21.000 --> 00:19:23.880
The report is positive. Feeling has agreed to go to

327
00:19:23.920 --> 00:19:26.960
Paris with me. He bought the story about picking up

328
00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:31.519
a map showing the location of the Lancair collection operation successful.

329
00:19:38.200 --> 00:19:39.960
You'd better be on your way, Larry, your do at

330
00:19:40.039 --> 00:19:43.519
Festials in ten minutes. I suppose it's too late to

331
00:19:43.559 --> 00:19:46.799
back out. Uh, you can always back out, Larry, but

332
00:19:46.880 --> 00:19:49.640
I don't think you will. There's really nothing to it,

333
00:19:49.799 --> 00:19:52.400
make it look like a normal interview. Take notes.

334
00:19:53.119 --> 00:19:55.359
The professor will give you the map, Slip it in

335
00:19:55.359 --> 00:19:57.599
with your notes, bring it back to me here.

336
00:19:58.079 --> 00:20:07.480
I'll be waiting, okay, Larry, Yes, relax, sure thing, I'll sleep.

337
00:20:07.519 --> 00:20:15.920
It would miss your mind if.

338
00:20:15.799 --> 00:20:16.480
I join him.

339
00:20:16.519 --> 00:20:18.400
I wouldn't mind at all. But I don't think I'm

340
00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:19.319
what you're looking for.

341
00:20:19.559 --> 00:20:22.599
But mens, exactly what I think? Exactly?

342
00:20:22.759 --> 00:20:25.039
And just what is it you're seeking to.

343
00:20:25.119 --> 00:20:26.839
Warn you that you are in grave danger?

344
00:20:27.839 --> 00:20:29.920
Why don't you come off it with that phony accent?

345
00:20:30.079 --> 00:20:31.680
You got something to say to me? Say it?

346
00:20:31.799 --> 00:20:32.759
Wouldn't you buy me?

347
00:20:32.759 --> 00:20:36.480
If I know? Sure? That's all po please?

348
00:20:37.880 --> 00:20:38.599
So it is very.

349
00:20:38.559 --> 00:20:41.599
Difficult for I do play a role as you have guessed,

350
00:20:42.039 --> 00:20:45.359
and I am not here by chance, you must leave.

351
00:20:45.559 --> 00:20:47.960
And quickly you're well, nonsie.

352
00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:51.519
If not for me, it's for the lady and for you.

353
00:20:52.200 --> 00:20:53.640
I have a knife.

354
00:20:56.279 --> 00:20:57.279
Which he's going to die.

355
00:20:57.640 --> 00:20:59.640
Would I say, there'll be no problem?

356
00:21:00.400 --> 00:21:03.640
Simply put his head down gently on the table, so

357
00:21:04.839 --> 00:21:07.039
and people will see another broken tourist.

358
00:21:12.319 --> 00:21:16.039
Your name is Larry Fielding, You're twenty eight years old,

359
00:21:16.480 --> 00:21:20.640
and you're feeling marvelous. You have just completed a fascinating

360
00:21:20.680 --> 00:21:24.599
interview with Professor Henry Teale. And you have the paper

361
00:21:24.599 --> 00:21:26.799
that you're going to hand over to your friend who's

362
00:21:26.839 --> 00:21:30.200
waiting at leedri Mago. You see him at the table

363
00:21:30.240 --> 00:21:33.599
where you left him. His head is down, but you're

364
00:21:33.640 --> 00:21:34.400
not concerned.

365
00:21:34.519 --> 00:21:38.759
Dave, Dave, wake up. I saw the professor. What, monsieur?

366
00:21:39.279 --> 00:21:40.720
What has happened? Well, I don't know.

367
00:21:40.720 --> 00:21:43.960
I came back to meet my friendly. I guess he's

368
00:21:44.000 --> 00:21:50.519
past hour, monsieur. Look, this man has been murdered, stepped

369
00:21:50.640 --> 00:21:51.119
to death.

370
00:21:52.279 --> 00:21:55.519
You will wait here for the police. I will, I

371
00:21:55.559 --> 00:21:56.880
will not. I'm getting out of here.

372
00:22:04.119 --> 00:22:04.839
Who is there?

373
00:22:05.519 --> 00:22:07.359
Design open up?

374
00:22:09.240 --> 00:22:09.920
What's the matter?

375
00:22:10.319 --> 00:22:14.920
What happened the other American? The young one? He got away?

376
00:22:15.599 --> 00:22:18.720
You let him go, You predict Wren, now what?

377
00:22:19.279 --> 00:22:21.519
He'll probably go back to his room with Dauphin. You

378
00:22:21.559 --> 00:22:22.000
will check.

379
00:22:22.240 --> 00:22:23.799
But aren't the police looking for him?

380
00:22:23.880 --> 00:22:26.400
I hope so I gave him a complete description.

381
00:22:26.559 --> 00:22:28.359
And what do I say to them if they find

382
00:22:28.359 --> 00:22:29.000
me in his room?

383
00:22:29.200 --> 00:22:33.519
Came a beautiful young lady like yourself. Get to him

384
00:22:33.559 --> 00:22:35.359
and find out where the paper is?

385
00:22:48.400 --> 00:22:48.720
All right?

386
00:22:49.200 --> 00:22:53.519
All right? How are you? If I take my hand away?

387
00:22:53.519 --> 00:22:55.960
You promise not to scream? Right?

388
00:22:56.279 --> 00:22:56.480
Right?

389
00:22:56.920 --> 00:22:59.440
Okay, Now, why have you picked the lock in my room?

390
00:23:00.839 --> 00:23:03.880
Never mind, you have to get out of here.

391
00:23:03.960 --> 00:23:06.799
Not did you tell me who you are if that matters.

392
00:23:06.839 --> 00:23:09.680
My name is Carol Johnson. I've been sent here to

393
00:23:09.720 --> 00:23:12.640
help you. I know about the murder of your friend.

394
00:23:12.680 --> 00:23:16.119
Wait a minute, Wait a minute, sent by whom I'll

395
00:23:16.160 --> 00:23:18.920
answer your questions while we're on the way, on.

396
00:23:18.880 --> 00:23:21.880
The way to wear safety. I don't need to run.

397
00:23:22.400 --> 00:23:23.480
I didn't kill anybody.

398
00:23:23.640 --> 00:23:25.400
I'm not about to take off with a strange girl,

399
00:23:25.400 --> 00:23:27.519
particularly not one who's equipped with skeleton keys.

400
00:23:27.680 --> 00:23:36.319
Oh, suit yourself, goodbye.

401
00:23:37.519 --> 00:23:37.839
Come in.

402
00:23:42.519 --> 00:23:47.160
Yes, as spector of Victorio ste Uh, you would please

403
00:23:47.200 --> 00:23:52.319
come with me. What for suspicion of murder of another American?

404
00:23:53.599 --> 00:24:02.559
Monsieur David Wilson inspect to listen? Why would I kill Dave?

405
00:24:02.640 --> 00:24:04.720
I've already told you I had an appointment to meet

406
00:24:04.759 --> 00:24:05.559
Dave at the cafe.

407
00:24:05.599 --> 00:24:07.599
He was waiting for me. When I have walked up

408
00:24:07.599 --> 00:24:09.319
to a man, I just killed and shake him so

409
00:24:09.400 --> 00:24:10.839
that he'd fall down. Make a big scene.

410
00:24:11.359 --> 00:24:14.960
That is your explansion. There is nothing to support it

411
00:24:15.200 --> 00:24:17.839
as well. There's nothing against it either. There is the

412
00:24:17.920 --> 00:24:19.960
world of Louis Gray Louis.

413
00:24:20.720 --> 00:24:21.079
Who's he?

414
00:24:21.599 --> 00:24:24.440
The waiter who attended the table at which mister Whedson

415
00:24:24.519 --> 00:24:27.400
and you said. The only reason that you are not,

416
00:24:27.640 --> 00:24:31.119
as of these moments charged with murder is because you

417
00:24:31.160 --> 00:24:36.119
did the return that much the waiter's testimony supports only.

418
00:24:36.200 --> 00:24:39.200
He says that miss Whedson might very well have been

419
00:24:39.279 --> 00:24:43.680
dead shortly after your return, and that you had time

420
00:24:43.880 --> 00:24:44.599
to kill him.

421
00:24:45.319 --> 00:24:48.039
That's a lie. So you say, ah, just check with

422
00:24:48.079 --> 00:24:50.559
Professor Teal. He'll tell you what time I arrived, what

423
00:24:50.599 --> 00:24:51.240
time I left.

424
00:24:51.400 --> 00:24:55.039
We have been trying and there has been no answer.

425
00:24:56.720 --> 00:25:03.960
We may have him on the telephone now hello, eh ah,

426
00:25:04.039 --> 00:25:09.519
so whereever you Elsie? All right, Well, what do you say?

427
00:25:10.359 --> 00:25:15.160
That was not Professor Tilde. That was his apartment and

428
00:25:15.279 --> 00:25:19.880
his servant his servant. There was nobody there when I

429
00:25:19.920 --> 00:25:24.880
saw him. Don't you mean if you saw him, monsieur h.

430
00:25:25.200 --> 00:25:28.279
According to the servant, Professor Till left for an extended

431
00:25:28.319 --> 00:25:32.279
holiday early this morning, and if he's not known when

432
00:25:33.000 --> 00:25:34.240
he is expected back.

433
00:25:40.119 --> 00:25:43.720
Your name is Larry Fielding. You're thirty two years old

434
00:25:44.359 --> 00:25:49.359
and you find yourself in prison in Paris, accused of murder.

435
00:25:50.519 --> 00:25:53.079
You know you've been had and you're dealing with forces

436
00:25:53.079 --> 00:25:57.200
that seem beyond your control. You have a million questions,

437
00:25:57.799 --> 00:26:00.400
and the only man who could answer them is the

438
00:26:00.480 --> 00:26:05.039
man you're accused of killing. We'll be back shortly with

439
00:26:05.160 --> 00:26:09.039
that too.

440
00:26:10.200 --> 00:26:12.640
When you drink beer, do you tilt the glass for

441
00:26:12.799 --> 00:26:14.880
long hearty swallows or.

442
00:26:14.920 --> 00:26:17.039
Just tip it and sip it? Well.

443
00:26:17.119 --> 00:26:20.400
Sipping's the thing for wine, but Budweiser beer is a

444
00:26:20.400 --> 00:26:24.759
hearty drink, brood for zest and character. The best way

445
00:26:24.799 --> 00:26:28.480
to enjoy Bud is to drink it, not chug a lug, just.

446
00:26:28.640 --> 00:26:31.160
Man sized beer drinker swallows.

447
00:26:31.839 --> 00:26:36.960
That's when that famous Budweiser taste, smoothness and drinkability really

448
00:26:37.000 --> 00:26:37.480
come through.

449
00:26:38.240 --> 00:26:40.400
Smoothness and drinkability that.

450
00:26:40.440 --> 00:26:45.759
Come only from natural combination and exclusive beechwood aging. Smoothness

451
00:26:45.759 --> 00:26:49.839
and drinkability too good for any half hearted sipping, So

452
00:26:50.119 --> 00:26:50.720
drink up.

453
00:26:52.519 --> 00:26:53.440
You'll see that.

454
00:26:53.519 --> 00:26:58.119
Brewing beer right does make a difference, and that when

455
00:26:58.160 --> 00:27:01.079
you say Budweiser, you've said it all.

456
00:27:03.680 --> 00:27:11.799
And Issa Bush Saint Louis. In nineteen nineteen, someone had

457
00:27:11.839 --> 00:27:12.960
a big idea.

458
00:27:13.200 --> 00:27:16.319
Let's help youth understand big business by starting them in

459
00:27:16.400 --> 00:27:17.359
small businesses of.

460
00:27:17.319 --> 00:27:20.400
Their own and junior Achievement was born.

461
00:27:21.079 --> 00:27:23.839
Each group elected a board of directors, chose a product,

462
00:27:23.920 --> 00:27:27.400
set up a production line, sold, stocked, and went into business.

463
00:27:28.440 --> 00:27:31.240
That year three hundred and fourteen students made and sold

464
00:27:31.279 --> 00:27:40.440
products and learned the business of business. Today, Junior Achievement

465
00:27:40.440 --> 00:27:44.480
has grown to nearly two hundred thousand members. Junior Achievers

466
00:27:44.480 --> 00:27:47.480
are designing and marketing their own products and services, from

467
00:27:47.519 --> 00:27:51.960
cutting boards to printing their organizing sales efforts, writing marketing plans,

468
00:27:52.039 --> 00:27:56.240
calculating profit and loss. Running these small businesses helps junior

469
00:27:56.240 --> 00:28:01.359
achievers understand how big business works. Support achievements where youth

470
00:28:01.440 --> 00:28:18.079
learns the business of business. Hoyo, Local Junior Achievement Office.

471
00:28:19.000 --> 00:28:23.680
To many Americans, Paris means visits to the louver, strolls

472
00:28:23.720 --> 00:28:26.079
along the sand, or fine food.

473
00:28:27.039 --> 00:28:29.359
But to Larry Fielding, it means.

474
00:28:29.160 --> 00:28:33.359
The inside of a prison cell when he sits accused of.

475
00:28:33.359 --> 00:28:34.920
A murder he didn't commit.

476
00:28:36.319 --> 00:28:39.440
Fielding knows he's been caught up in something that involves

477
00:28:39.519 --> 00:28:43.880
more than the recovery of some stolen jewels. However, what

478
00:28:44.000 --> 00:28:47.759
he doesn't realize is that he's the key poem in

479
00:28:47.839 --> 00:28:51.200
a deadly game, and the players are about to make

480
00:28:51.279 --> 00:28:51.920
some moves.

481
00:28:54.359 --> 00:28:59.279
Oh, I don't think it's smart to have me come

482
00:28:59.319 --> 00:29:00.000
here so often.

483
00:29:01.319 --> 00:29:03.119
I would not have sent for you if it were

484
00:29:03.119 --> 00:29:06.920
not necessary. Do you still believe that Fielding knows nothing

485
00:29:06.960 --> 00:29:07.759
about the operation?

486
00:29:08.000 --> 00:29:08.279
I do.

487
00:29:09.000 --> 00:29:10.000
Then where's the document?

488
00:29:10.359 --> 00:29:12.200
Well, we don't know he ever had it doing.

489
00:29:12.759 --> 00:29:16.279
We know he visited till. We know that Wilson waited

490
00:29:16.319 --> 00:29:18.720
for him at let to back go. We know he

491
00:29:18.799 --> 00:29:21.720
came back there. I think it is safe to assume

492
00:29:21.799 --> 00:29:23.920
that he was carrying the plans.

493
00:29:23.759 --> 00:29:26.440
And he didn't have it on him when he was arrested.

494
00:29:26.880 --> 00:29:29.160
Roger arranged to be there when Fielding was brought in

495
00:29:29.200 --> 00:29:32.519
and searched. He says there was nothing on him, but

496
00:29:32.680 --> 00:29:36.559
he wasn't picked up right away exactly. He eventually went

497
00:29:36.599 --> 00:29:40.319
back to his hotel room. As you know, I believe

498
00:29:40.400 --> 00:29:42.720
he has the paper and that he has somehow managed

499
00:29:42.759 --> 00:29:44.039
to hide it.

500
00:29:43.720 --> 00:29:46.400
Ah, it is a snow gold in prison. We shall

501
00:29:46.480 --> 00:29:47.720
do arrange to have him released.

502
00:29:47.880 --> 00:29:49.039
And how do we do that?

503
00:29:49.599 --> 00:29:51.799
We don't you do?

504
00:30:00.880 --> 00:30:07.960
Sit down, mademoiselle, your passport, says Carol Johnson. That's right, Inspector,

505
00:30:08.039 --> 00:30:10.000
and I'm told you are in my office because of

506
00:30:10.039 --> 00:30:13.519
the unfortunate incident in the Cavilli.

507
00:30:13.200 --> 00:30:17.559
De mangoul Yes, Inspector, I just had to come here

508
00:30:17.599 --> 00:30:19.640
to tell you you you have the wrong man.

509
00:30:19.759 --> 00:30:22.039
Ah, And how do you know that?

510
00:30:22.480 --> 00:30:25.680
I'm studying at the Somanne, I visit Li de Magaux

511
00:30:25.720 --> 00:30:26.279
all the time.

512
00:30:26.720 --> 00:30:29.240
I was sitting right there when that man was murdered.

513
00:30:31.720 --> 00:30:34.799
You saw a man murdered and you did nothing.

514
00:30:35.119 --> 00:30:37.279
Oh, at the time, I didn't know it was a murder.

515
00:30:37.799 --> 00:30:39.839
I just thought the man had too much to drink

516
00:30:40.119 --> 00:30:42.960
or was ill. But the reason I know that you've

517
00:30:43.039 --> 00:30:45.640
arrested the wrong man is that the murdered man was

518
00:30:45.720 --> 00:30:50.599
dead before this young American fields or Fielding. Yes, well,

519
00:30:50.839 --> 00:30:53.480
the man was dead before Fielding ever got to the table.

520
00:30:54.319 --> 00:30:56.799
Fielding came and shook him, and that was when it

521
00:30:56.880 --> 00:31:00.279
was discovered that he was dead. I'm prepared to swear

522
00:31:00.319 --> 00:31:01.160
to that, inspector.

523
00:31:01.400 --> 00:31:04.680
Of course, you were prepared to swear to this story

524
00:31:04.799 --> 00:31:06.000
that you have just told me.

525
00:31:06.400 --> 00:31:08.640
Why not, it's the truth, of.

526
00:31:08.559 --> 00:31:09.480
Course, mademoiselle.

527
00:31:10.279 --> 00:31:12.960
Why what a beautiful young lady like your said lie

528
00:31:13.039 --> 00:31:15.279
to an inspector of the surda.

529
00:31:16.599 --> 00:31:19.720
I'm not sure that I like the way you say that, inspector,

530
00:31:21.079 --> 00:31:24.240
But everything will be all right if you release young feelings.

531
00:31:24.480 --> 00:31:26.720
You have told me you would swear to this statement

532
00:31:26.839 --> 00:31:27.720
or her was in court.

533
00:31:28.880 --> 00:31:30.960
Therefore, I have very little choice.

534
00:31:31.519 --> 00:31:36.440
Oh good, but mademoiselle, I have been the police officer

535
00:31:36.519 --> 00:31:39.920
for twenty years, long enough to know that witnesses who

536
00:31:39.960 --> 00:31:43.920
appear late with an annibi for our accused murderer often

537
00:31:44.079 --> 00:31:48.319
have reason. And I also wish to warn you, mademoiselle,

538
00:31:49.359 --> 00:31:52.920
but the Suati considers this a very much open case.

539
00:31:54.400 --> 00:31:58.680
That is the business of the SQUI of one inspector.

540
00:32:04.039 --> 00:32:06.880
Sure would photow the young lady who's just lit my

541
00:32:06.920 --> 00:32:09.319
office and do not lose her.

542
00:32:16.920 --> 00:32:20.799
Hello there, Oh it's you. I want to give me

543
00:32:20.839 --> 00:32:21.160
a lift.

544
00:32:21.359 --> 00:32:23.440
Well, I suppose I owe you something for getting me

545
00:32:23.440 --> 00:32:29.319
out of jail. Taxi, taxi, there we come hopping.

546
00:32:30.680 --> 00:32:39.880
Oh thanks, uh driver, Hotel Daphine. You look pretty good

547
00:32:39.880 --> 00:32:43.920

00:32:43.960 --> 00:32:44.640
to think of it, what.

549
00:32:44.720 --> 00:32:47.680
Are you an American girl in Paris trying to make

550
00:32:47.680 --> 00:32:48.079
a living?

551
00:32:49.160 --> 00:32:51.279
What are you an American in Paris and neat of

552
00:32:51.319 --> 00:32:54.200
a bath, a drink and some food.

553
00:32:56.240 --> 00:32:59.720
You know you're not bad looking, Oh.

554
00:32:59.640 --> 00:33:03.640
Fay, While we seem to be exchanging compliments, can I say,

555
00:33:03.640 --> 00:33:06.200
you're about the best looking girl I've seen since i've

556
00:33:06.240 --> 00:33:07.240
been here.

557
00:33:09.440 --> 00:33:09.839
Thank you.

558
00:33:11.240 --> 00:33:13.440
No that we like each other so much, don't you

559
00:33:13.480 --> 00:33:15.839
think it's time we started telling each other the truth.

560
00:33:17.039 --> 00:33:29.759
Yes, i'll buy back operator. Well, never you speaking? Okay?

561
00:33:29.839 --> 00:33:31.720
Well, look I phoned the desk about an hour ago

562
00:33:31.759 --> 00:33:33.200
to get this room straightened up, and.

563
00:33:33.160 --> 00:33:34.359
So far nothing's happened.

564
00:33:34.440 --> 00:33:36.960
Now can you please just send someone up so I

565
00:33:36.960 --> 00:33:37.880
can sleep here tonight?

566
00:33:38.000 --> 00:33:39.720
Huh, well you're at it. Where's our food?

567
00:33:40.720 --> 00:33:42.079
Wait a minute, that's a different department.

568
00:33:42.079 --> 00:33:44.640
Oh I'll have to call room service again.

569
00:33:45.680 --> 00:33:49.440
Oh maybe you won't have to bother ah uh, entree,

570
00:33:50.480 --> 00:33:51.319
you do the.

571
00:33:51.279 --> 00:33:56.279
Shoot you would like me to?

572
00:33:56.640 --> 00:33:58.480
No, No, thanks, No, I think I can handle it

573
00:33:58.519 --> 00:34:02.480
myself as you wishes. Wait a minute, don't I know you?

574
00:34:02.799 --> 00:34:06.519
I think i've seen you before. I'm sure i've seen you.

575
00:34:07.079 --> 00:34:09.639
Arry is a large city, monsieur. One passes people on

576
00:34:09.679 --> 00:34:10.320
the streets, and.

577
00:34:10.639 --> 00:34:11.639
The streets, the streets.

578
00:34:11.639 --> 00:34:12.000
That's it.

579
00:34:12.519 --> 00:34:15.000
You're the same guy who was at the cat Do

580
00:34:15.119 --> 00:34:17.280
I go? Youres mystake? What?

581
00:34:17.679 --> 00:34:17.880
Hey?

582
00:34:17.880 --> 00:34:19.360
What have I come back here? I want to talk

583
00:34:19.400 --> 00:34:19.719
to you.

584
00:34:19.800 --> 00:34:21.719
Oh no, don't go chasing him down the hall.

585
00:34:21.840 --> 00:34:24.559
Why not. Listen, Carol, I'm positive he's the same way.

586
00:34:24.960 --> 00:34:27.920
Just deny it and you can't prove it. But even

587
00:34:27.960 --> 00:34:30.639
if you could, what do you think it means?

588
00:34:30.639 --> 00:34:34.800
What it mean? It means? Well? I don't know, but

589
00:34:34.840 --> 00:34:37.000
if I get to get him to talk, maybe i'd

590
00:34:37.039 --> 00:34:37.880
find out something.

591
00:34:38.480 --> 00:34:40.360
I thought you were going to come in.

592
00:34:40.840 --> 00:34:45.079
Oh yeah, yeah. Listen, have you ever heard of the

593
00:34:45.159 --> 00:34:48.519
LANs Are Collection? Of course, it's.

594
00:34:48.400 --> 00:34:51.719
In the Louver. The family of Condolence gave it to

595
00:34:51.760 --> 00:34:54.880
the museum after it was recovered when the Nazis fled Paris.

596
00:34:56.719 --> 00:35:00.400
What why does that shake you up so much?

597
00:35:01.360 --> 00:35:02.519
Because it can't be true.

598
00:35:03.639 --> 00:35:05.400
Come with me to the Louver and I'll show it

599
00:35:05.440 --> 00:35:05.760
to you.

600
00:35:06.519 --> 00:35:09.400
Well that changes everything. Come on, where are we going to?

601
00:35:09.480 --> 00:35:10.679
The American Console?

602
00:35:18.000 --> 00:35:24.239
Well, unbelievable, simply unbelievable. Do you know what the console

603
00:35:24.280 --> 00:35:24.599
told me?

604
00:35:25.719 --> 00:35:25.880
Oh?

605
00:35:26.800 --> 00:35:28.639
I predicted it didn't I?

606
00:35:28.840 --> 00:35:30.840
Yeah, it's true. He didn't want to hear about it

607
00:35:30.880 --> 00:35:33.280
at all. Just advies me to folk up the whole

608
00:35:33.320 --> 00:35:36.239
thing and leave France. Incredible for not.

609
00:35:36.400 --> 00:35:38.639
Really when you understand that he doesn't know what you're

610
00:35:38.679 --> 00:35:42.199
talking about, but you do some of it.

611
00:35:43.079 --> 00:35:44.639
Okay, take me back to the hotel.

612
00:35:45.039 --> 00:35:45.599
Any reason.

613
00:35:45.760 --> 00:35:49.440
I'm taking the console's advice. If nobody's interested, I'll go

614
00:35:49.559 --> 00:35:50.480
back to the States.

615
00:35:55.039 --> 00:35:57.360
Well, now that they've cleaned up the room so nicely,

616
00:35:57.440 --> 00:35:58.119
you are leaving.

617
00:35:58.840 --> 00:35:59.840
Well, do you have a.

618
00:36:01.920 --> 00:36:02.559
More than one?

619
00:36:04.079 --> 00:36:05.599
I think I'll take them one at a time.

620
00:36:08.239 --> 00:36:12.880
Number one, give me the paper Professor t gave you.

621
00:36:14.239 --> 00:36:18.000
Well, it looks like we're finally going to level.

622
00:36:18.199 --> 00:36:18.800
Where is it?

623
00:36:19.360 --> 00:36:22.320
Well, first you tell me something. What is it? I

624
00:36:22.360 --> 00:36:24.079
don't know. End of conversations.

625
00:36:24.159 --> 00:36:25.000
Mary listened to me.

626
00:36:26.360 --> 00:36:30.360
I work for Colonel Blake Military Intelligence. I was assigned

627
00:36:30.360 --> 00:36:31.199
to this operation.

628
00:36:31.800 --> 00:36:32.679
What operation?

629
00:36:33.079 --> 00:36:35.760
All I was told was that Dave Wilson, who also

630
00:36:35.840 --> 00:36:38.159
works for US, was coming over here with you, and

631
00:36:38.199 --> 00:36:40.400
that you were to get something from Professor to you

632
00:36:40.440 --> 00:36:41.239
and give it to Dave.

633
00:36:41.960 --> 00:36:43.840
TiAl worked with you too.

634
00:36:44.000 --> 00:36:47.360
He did, but now his cover is blown and I

635
00:36:47.400 --> 00:36:48.360
don't know where he is.

636
00:36:48.599 --> 00:36:49.480
Who killed Wilson?

637
00:36:49.519 --> 00:36:49.960
I don't know.

638
00:36:50.039 --> 00:36:52.119
It could have been any one of three or four

639
00:36:52.239 --> 00:36:53.199
foreign powers.

640
00:36:53.519 --> 00:36:56.800
And the only reason I'm alive is because somebody wants

641
00:36:56.840 --> 00:36:57.239
the paper.

642
00:36:57.320 --> 00:36:59.440
That's right, And if I give it to you, then

643
00:36:59.440 --> 00:37:01.280
there's really no reason not to kill me.

644
00:37:01.400 --> 00:37:04.039
Oh give it to me. I'll get it to Colonel

645
00:37:04.039 --> 00:37:05.800
Blake and we'll get you safely out of the country.

646
00:37:06.039 --> 00:37:08.719
Hold on, hold on, I got a better idea. I'll

647
00:37:08.719 --> 00:37:10.679
go with you to Colonel Blake and we'll give it

648
00:37:10.679 --> 00:37:11.320
to him together.

649
00:37:11.639 --> 00:37:14.360
No, that would be too dangerous to whom Will you

650
00:37:14.400 --> 00:37:15.559
please trust me?

651
00:37:15.719 --> 00:37:16.599
Give me a reason?

652
00:37:17.400 --> 00:37:17.880
Please?

653
00:37:18.039 --> 00:37:18.960
Where's the paper?

654
00:37:19.079 --> 00:37:22.239
I I burned it.

655
00:37:24.719 --> 00:37:26.440
Do you expect me to believe that?

656
00:37:26.559 --> 00:37:29.840
Why not? You expect me to believe everything you tell me.

657
00:37:30.559 --> 00:37:33.920
You admit you had the paper, and somehow between the

658
00:37:33.960 --> 00:37:36.559
time you ran from the NEMAGU you managed to hide

659
00:37:36.559 --> 00:37:38.639
it in a place where experts have been unable to

660
00:37:38.639 --> 00:37:38.960
find it.

661
00:37:39.000 --> 00:37:40.519
I told you I burned it, and.

662
00:37:40.639 --> 00:37:43.320
You know that's a fairy tale that no one will disease.

663
00:37:43.360 --> 00:37:44.960
I don't care whether you believe it or not. Now

664
00:37:44.960 --> 00:37:47.840
you're coming with me where to talk to your Colonel Blake.

665
00:37:48.159 --> 00:37:51.320
He won't see you, Oh, I think he will. Goodbye, Carol,

666
00:37:51.320 --> 00:37:52.239
it was nice knowing it.

667
00:37:52.360 --> 00:37:55.039
I think you will kindly step back into your room

668
00:37:55.039 --> 00:37:55.639
as your feeling.

669
00:37:55.719 --> 00:38:01.079
Now wait a minute, it introduced myself. I am Major

670
00:38:01.119 --> 00:38:05.400
Simonovich Chalm of the Gay Pay you or the NKVD.

671
00:38:05.079 --> 00:38:08.639
Does not really matter. What matters is that you and

672
00:38:08.719 --> 00:38:10.639
I have something to discuss.

673
00:38:10.800 --> 00:38:11.519
I warn you.

674
00:38:11.679 --> 00:38:14.400
Yeah, sure you did, just like a rattlesnake does.

675
00:38:14.280 --> 00:38:17.800
I do so dislike dealing with amateurs. This is strictly

676
00:38:17.840 --> 00:38:18.360
a business.

677
00:38:18.760 --> 00:38:20.239
You mean you want to make a deal with me?

678
00:38:20.519 --> 00:38:23.840
Correction, I mean you would find it wise if you

679
00:38:23.920 --> 00:38:26.440
wanted to make a deal with us for the paper?

680
00:38:26.639 --> 00:38:28.719
Exactly where is it?

681
00:38:28.760 --> 00:38:28.800
Not?

682
00:38:28.960 --> 00:38:32.199
Not so fast? Not so fast? You spoke about a deal.

683
00:38:32.880 --> 00:38:35.920
You give us the paper, We give you your life.

684
00:38:37.159 --> 00:38:43.199
You must really believe I'm an idiot. You people murdered Wilson.

685
00:38:43.320 --> 00:38:46.440
That paper is the only thing that's keeping me alive.

686
00:38:46.639 --> 00:38:47.760
My word, no deal.

687
00:38:48.199 --> 00:38:52.679
You really believe you have a choice, Carol Ol Rajansky,

688
00:38:53.239 --> 00:38:54.760
make the usual arrangements.

689
00:38:55.519 --> 00:38:56.280
We will wait here.

690
00:38:58.079 --> 00:38:58.360
The name.

691
00:38:58.440 --> 00:39:02.639
Look at that Seasi sister Mirs.

692
00:39:02.599 --> 00:39:08.480
Karol, Yes, tell me something well, I like Rozanski.

693
00:39:15.519 --> 00:39:19.639
By this time, Larry Fielding realizes that he's been used.

694
00:39:20.440 --> 00:39:22.840
That he was never supposed to bring Dave Wilson of

695
00:39:22.880 --> 00:39:26.039
paper telling the location of the lance Are Jewel collection,

696
00:39:27.039 --> 00:39:30.719
But his discoveries have only added to his dilemma. He

697
00:39:30.840 --> 00:39:33.920
was quick witted enough to realize that his only hope

698
00:39:34.239 --> 00:39:37.280
was to hide the paper because that slip of paper

699
00:39:37.840 --> 00:39:42.119
is his last resort. We'll be back shortly with Act three,

700
00:39:42.239 --> 00:39:45.559
Breaks and Wars and jes Jealous and.

701
00:39:47.719 --> 00:39:52.360
You up. This is Jerry Kaufer for Kellogg's Special K.

702
00:39:52.920 --> 00:39:55.039
We've been having some fun in our television and radio

703
00:39:55.039 --> 00:39:57.519
commercials by using a ball and chain to symbolize the

704
00:39:57.559 --> 00:40:00.199
slight overweight problem common to so many of us. We

705
00:40:00.239 --> 00:40:02.400
point out that being a few pounds overweight is just

706
00:40:02.480 --> 00:40:05.920
a little more difficult for you climbing stairs, just walking around,

707
00:40:06.159 --> 00:40:08.880
even sitting down can feel well like you're wearing a

708
00:40:08.880 --> 00:40:09.559
ball and chain.

709
00:40:10.039 --> 00:40:11.440
In case you miss the message, it's this.

710
00:40:11.880 --> 00:40:13.599
If you really want to get rid of that extra weight,

711
00:40:13.679 --> 00:40:16.280
you really have to work at it by exercising and

712
00:40:16.400 --> 00:40:19.599
with sensible meals like the Special K breakfast. A one

713
00:40:19.599 --> 00:40:22.719
ounce bowl of Special K, America's favorite high protein cereal,

714
00:40:22.960 --> 00:40:25.800
four ounces of skin milk, tomato, juice, and coffee, less

715
00:40:25.800 --> 00:40:29.440
than two hundred forty calories, nutritious and by the way, delicious.

716
00:40:29.679 --> 00:40:31.639
So why not begin each day with a Special K

717
00:40:31.800 --> 00:40:34.639
breakfast and then keep up the good work. Special K

718
00:40:34.760 --> 00:40:37.039
can't hope you lose weight all by itself, but it

719
00:40:37.119 --> 00:40:38.280
really is a good start.

720
00:40:39.880 --> 00:40:41.400
Hi I'm hal Lindon.

721
00:40:42.079 --> 00:40:45.280
There's a lot of talk these days about America's energy crisis,

722
00:40:45.679 --> 00:40:48.679
talk about doing without heat, about doing without our cars,

723
00:40:49.079 --> 00:40:52.239
about what's going to happen if we run out of fuel. Well,

724
00:40:52.239 --> 00:40:54.639
we may not have to run out of fuel if

725
00:40:54.679 --> 00:40:57.280
we all work together to conserve the fuel we have.

726
00:40:58.119 --> 00:41:01.039
That means turning your thermostats down to sixty eight degrees

727
00:41:01.119 --> 00:41:03.119
during the day and turning them down.

728
00:41:02.920 --> 00:41:03.880
To sixty at night.

729
00:41:04.480 --> 00:41:07.760
It means turning off lights, TV sets and electrical appliance

730
00:41:07.840 --> 00:41:10.599
is the minute we're finished with them. It means driving

731
00:41:10.639 --> 00:41:15.360
no faster than fifty starting or joining carpools, avoiding the

732
00:41:15.480 --> 00:41:17.039
kind of stop and go motoring that.

733
00:41:17.039 --> 00:41:18.559
Eats up gas by the gallon.

734
00:41:19.119 --> 00:41:22.320
In short, it means saving every ounce of energy we

735
00:41:22.440 --> 00:41:26.960
can every chance we get. So please do your part

736
00:41:27.000 --> 00:41:30.239
to make the fuel supply stretch a little further for

737
00:41:30.320 --> 00:41:35.480
your own sake. Don't be selfish, don't be foolish, don't

738
00:41:35.519 --> 00:41:36.320
be fulish.

739
00:41:36.840 --> 00:41:40.440
This message from the Federal Energy Office on the Advertising counsil.

740
00:41:52.320 --> 00:41:56.679
Newspaper man Larry Fielding sits waiting in his Paris hotel room,

741
00:41:57.559 --> 00:42:00.880
closely guarded by three members of the Russian Secret Police

742
00:42:01.559 --> 00:42:06.079
and the beautiful American girl Carol Johnson. They are waiting

743
00:42:06.079 --> 00:42:10.039
for a man named Rozanski, who might very well be

744
00:42:10.559 --> 00:42:13.519
for all Fielding knows his executioner.

745
00:42:13.800 --> 00:42:17.159
You know we mean to obtain the paper. Rodzansky is

746
00:42:17.199 --> 00:42:20.639
a doctor and a chemist. He'll be here shortly. You

747
00:42:20.679 --> 00:42:23.880
will be put to sleep painlessly. You'll be taken from

748
00:42:23.960 --> 00:42:27.039
here in an ambulance to a safe place, and there

749
00:42:27.079 --> 00:42:29.239
you will be injected with sodium pentophile.

750
00:42:29.360 --> 00:42:31.039
Fielding. You will tell us.

751
00:42:31.800 --> 00:42:34.760
I don't suppose you'll tell me what's so important about

752
00:42:34.800 --> 00:42:35.679
this piece of paper.

753
00:42:36.320 --> 00:42:40.119
You have heard of the SAM six missiles, the surface

754
00:42:40.159 --> 00:42:43.119
to air weapons with deadly accuracy that we have developed

755
00:42:43.159 --> 00:42:45.800
and which will use so successfully in minor wars in

756
00:42:45.840 --> 00:42:46.800
Asia and the Middle East.

757
00:42:46.880 --> 00:42:48.719
Yes, yes, I've heard of them. Good.

758
00:42:49.440 --> 00:42:53.159
We learned that someone whose identity we still seek has

759
00:42:53.159 --> 00:42:56.840
invented a jamming device which would render the same six

760
00:42:56.920 --> 00:42:58.280
almost worthless.

761
00:42:58.440 --> 00:42:59.079
Ah.

762
00:42:59.239 --> 00:43:03.079
We don't believe in system can be invented, but we

763
00:43:03.280 --> 00:43:04.599
do not take chances.

764
00:43:05.679 --> 00:43:07.159
We have reason to believe that the piece of.

765
00:43:07.119 --> 00:43:10.639
Paper that you carried away from Professor Tiels has the

766
00:43:10.679 --> 00:43:15.559
information for building such a device that will be Rojansky.

767
00:43:16.159 --> 00:43:17.360
Carol admit him.

768
00:43:17.440 --> 00:43:24.400
Of course, come in, doctor, this is the patient.

769
00:43:24.440 --> 00:43:27.000
Now look, I really don't think this is a necessary movie.

770
00:43:27.079 --> 00:43:29.519
Easier if you don't force young man. I don't intend

771
00:43:29.559 --> 00:43:37.559
to make his arm hold it still. You put a stretcher,

772
00:43:37.679 --> 00:43:42.199
of course, he'll be on there in a moment, so

773
00:43:42.480 --> 00:43:52.280
we can leave. What is this, younger, It has nothing

774
00:43:52.320 --> 00:43:52.840
to do with us.

775
00:43:53.039 --> 00:43:54.719
We are taking a sick man to the hospital.

776
00:43:54.960 --> 00:43:57.119
Put this stretcher into the ambuetsy quickly.

777
00:43:58.320 --> 00:44:01.320
I was apologized, but he received a report from the

778
00:44:01.360 --> 00:44:05.159
hotel concierge that there was a dead man here, absurd.

779
00:44:05.239 --> 00:44:09.559
Inspector. This is doctor Jansky. The doctor will explain this

780
00:44:09.679 --> 00:44:10.519
to you, Inspector.

781
00:44:10.639 --> 00:44:12.840
This man became suddenly quite ill.

782
00:44:13.119 --> 00:44:15.559
I gave him a sedative to quiet him, and we're

783
00:44:15.599 --> 00:44:18.719
not taking him to the lay favored nursing home. As

784
00:44:18.760 --> 00:44:21.119
you can see by the ambulance, you'll say, he is

785
00:44:21.159 --> 00:44:26.280
alive very much. So see for yourself, Dieu, I know

786
00:44:26.400 --> 00:44:30.159
this man, Inspector. He must receive medical attention.

787
00:44:29.920 --> 00:44:33.079
Of course, of course, not assaysies not.

788
00:44:33.159 --> 00:44:34.920
Instead of taking him to the nursing home, he go

789
00:44:35.000 --> 00:44:36.320
instead to the police hospital.

790
00:44:36.360 --> 00:44:39.719
And that's ridiculous, is might pace. I'm afraid. I must insist.

791
00:44:40.519 --> 00:44:43.280
This young man has most recently been released from jail

792
00:44:43.880 --> 00:44:46.000
where we were holding him on a charge of murder.

793
00:44:46.039 --> 00:44:49.840
If he's been released the release, yes, but he has

794
00:44:49.920 --> 00:44:54.480
not been completely clear, Sol began.

795
00:44:55.360 --> 00:45:05.360
Take this man to the police hospital. Did you get

796
00:45:05.400 --> 00:45:05.880
a report?

797
00:45:06.400 --> 00:45:06.840
Yes?

798
00:45:07.239 --> 00:45:09.239
And he'll be conscious in an hour.

799
00:45:09.079 --> 00:45:10.760
And he will talk, and I'm sure of that.

800
00:45:10.920 --> 00:45:13.440
He will scream to see Quonnel Blake, and then your

801
00:45:13.480 --> 00:45:14.840
cover is blown and the.

802
00:45:14.840 --> 00:45:16.000
Whole operation goes fully.

803
00:45:16.360 --> 00:45:19.480
What do we do silence him? But what about the papers?

804
00:45:19.880 --> 00:45:22.639
We will be faltered for that, of course. But if

805
00:45:22.639 --> 00:45:26.159
we do not have it, neither do the Americans.

806
00:45:26.639 --> 00:45:27.440
Who do we have in the.

807
00:45:27.360 --> 00:45:31.199
Police hospital only le Claire. We cling, But he can

808
00:45:31.280 --> 00:45:32.159
admit Rashansky.

809
00:45:32.360 --> 00:45:34.639
Rashansky is a doctor. He doesn't need the clerk to

810
00:45:34.679 --> 00:45:36.920
admit him. He can visit his patient openly.

811
00:45:37.079 --> 00:45:39.559
Thank you, my dear. I visit Fielding and he dies

812
00:45:39.679 --> 00:45:42.599
shortly thereafter. That idea does not appeal to me.

813
00:45:42.760 --> 00:45:43.840
We have to do something.

814
00:45:44.039 --> 00:45:48.119
You're both right, Carol, you will be his first visitor

815
00:45:48.159 --> 00:45:53.039
when he regains consciousness. No, yes, Carol Radunsky, give or

816
00:45:53.039 --> 00:45:54.000
your hypodermic kit.

817
00:45:54.159 --> 00:45:55.840
I don't have to do this and I won't.

818
00:45:55.960 --> 00:45:57.239
You would prefer that.

819
00:45:57.360 --> 00:46:01.239
In my report I mention your failure with feeling when

820
00:46:01.239 --> 00:46:06.800
you had some hours alone with him. I'll go that

821
00:46:06.920 --> 00:46:12.039
is wise, Razansky, give it the syringe here quickly. Carus

822
00:46:12.079 --> 00:46:17.039
waiting and Carol, if you should decide or even think

823
00:46:17.440 --> 00:46:23.079
about changing sides, it would be most unwise. You know,

824
00:46:23.199 --> 00:46:26.239
the French police are still most interested in the person

825
00:46:26.280 --> 00:46:27.440
who murdered Wilson.

826
00:46:35.519 --> 00:46:42.880
You awake now, Larry, I, oh, no.

827
00:46:42.519 --> 00:46:47.440
Wake up and listen to me. Larry, You've got to listen.

828
00:46:48.320 --> 00:46:52.880
Try to understand, well, well, what kind of a prices this?

829
00:46:53.239 --> 00:46:55.440
You're safe, it's a police hospital.

830
00:46:55.679 --> 00:46:59.480
But how'd you get in here? Where's uh? What's Rozanski?

831
00:46:59.679 --> 00:46:59.920
Look?

832
00:47:00.199 --> 00:47:02.760
I can understand how you feel and why you don't

833
00:47:02.760 --> 00:47:04.559
trust me. But the truth.

834
00:47:04.719 --> 00:47:06.960
Really is that I am a double agent.

835
00:47:07.360 --> 00:47:07.559
Ah.

836
00:47:08.360 --> 00:47:10.400
Do you understand what a double agent is?

837
00:47:10.559 --> 00:47:13.480
As near as I can figure out, a double as

838
00:47:13.559 --> 00:47:17.440
is somebody working for two different sides, Yes, and neither

839
00:47:17.519 --> 00:47:18.440
side trusts them.

840
00:47:18.559 --> 00:47:21.559
Oh you know that fits you to a t. You

841
00:47:21.679 --> 00:47:23.079
might just be telling the truth.

842
00:47:23.280 --> 00:47:24.239
I am.

843
00:47:24.559 --> 00:47:27.239
I really work for Colonel Blake, as I told you.

844
00:47:27.760 --> 00:47:31.719
The Russians know it. They think I've infiltrated the US

845
00:47:31.840 --> 00:47:33.079
military intelligence.

846
00:47:33.360 --> 00:47:36.920
But yes, yes, I know, you've really done just the opposite,

847
00:47:37.159 --> 00:47:40.880
worked your way into the Russian apparatus exactly.

848
00:47:42.400 --> 00:47:45.360
Oh, Larry, how can I make you believe me? You

849
00:47:46.360 --> 00:47:50.519
can't listen. You were deliberately recruited.

850
00:47:51.119 --> 00:47:53.639
The reason you lost your job was because we got

851
00:47:53.679 --> 00:47:54.679
in touch with your boss.

852
00:47:54.920 --> 00:47:58.079
He agreed to go along. The men who jumped you

853
00:47:58.159 --> 00:48:00.760
were part of the setup so that Wilson could save you.

854
00:48:00.679 --> 00:48:03.280
You know, wait a minute, wait a minute, but that

855
00:48:03.440 --> 00:48:06.320
doesn't prove a thing. You could have learned all that

856
00:48:06.480 --> 00:48:08.760
working for Blake and still be with the other side.

857
00:48:08.800 --> 00:48:13.400
And oh, speaking of Wilson, how about getting him killed?

858
00:48:13.559 --> 00:48:17.000
I tried to warn him, but there wasn't enough time.

859
00:48:18.159 --> 00:48:20.679
It would either go along with that or blow my

860
00:48:20.800 --> 00:48:22.679
cover and endanger the whole operation.

861
00:48:23.199 --> 00:48:25.079
And when I wanted to give the plans to Blake,

862
00:48:25.639 --> 00:48:27.480
you objected the same problem.

863
00:48:27.519 --> 00:48:29.760
If I went with you to Blake or you went

864
00:48:29.800 --> 00:48:31.440
to him after we had talked.

865
00:48:31.280 --> 00:48:32.239
My cover was blown.

866
00:48:33.199 --> 00:48:35.760
Now and suppose I had given you the plans, how

867
00:48:35.800 --> 00:48:37.400
would that have changed the situation.

868
00:48:38.000 --> 00:48:40.159
We would have had a phony copy that I would

869
00:48:40.159 --> 00:48:43.199
have delivered to Igor, and everything would have been fine,

870
00:48:43.800 --> 00:48:46.559
and there's still time for me to do that. If

871
00:48:46.559 --> 00:48:49.280
you will just believe me and tell me where the

872
00:48:49.360 --> 00:48:50.079
plans are.

873
00:48:52.519 --> 00:48:56.679
I'd like to believe you. I really, I really would.

874
00:48:57.159 --> 00:49:04.280
Please? Where are they there? Get it's too dangerous? Look

875
00:49:04.440 --> 00:49:04.960
you see this?

876
00:49:05.719 --> 00:49:06.800
Yeah, it's a hypodermic.

877
00:49:07.039 --> 00:49:11.599
It's death. Igor sent me here with this to kill you.

878
00:49:13.920 --> 00:49:15.360
Now do you believe me?

879
00:49:15.679 --> 00:49:16.679
Wait? Wait a minute.

880
00:49:17.239 --> 00:49:19.440
If you don't kill me, and I guess you don't

881
00:49:19.480 --> 00:49:21.920
intend to, what will Ego and his friends think?

882
00:49:22.000 --> 00:49:22.880
Isn't your cover blown?

883
00:49:22.880 --> 00:49:23.000
Then?

884
00:49:23.039 --> 00:49:24.320
Anyway? Could be.

885
00:49:24.440 --> 00:49:27.079
But if I come back with the plans and say

886
00:49:27.119 --> 00:49:29.280
that I got them out of you without having to

887
00:49:29.360 --> 00:49:31.199
kill you, there's a chance they'll believe me.

888
00:49:32.400 --> 00:49:39.920
Ah well, I'm thinking, who are you?

889
00:49:41.519 --> 00:49:42.519
One of the hospital gods?

890
00:49:42.559 --> 00:49:46.119
Monsieur and Mossire? You have been here sometime? How is

891
00:49:46.159 --> 00:49:47.480
the patient guard?

892
00:49:47.840 --> 00:49:51.400
Yes, Monsieur, call Colonel Blake at US Military Intelligence. Tell

893
00:49:51.440 --> 00:49:53.360
him I've got to see him right away on a

894
00:49:53.400 --> 00:49:58.599
matter of the utmost urgency, Blake, Colonel Blake, I would

895
00:49:58.679 --> 00:50:02.559
inform my superior. Now you don't have to inform anyone.

896
00:50:02.760 --> 00:50:03.519
Just call him.

897
00:50:04.000 --> 00:50:07.920
Yes, Monsieur, Major would be disappointed you have not followed

898
00:50:07.920 --> 00:50:08.239
in stock.

899
00:50:09.840 --> 00:50:11.840
I would have had the information if you hadn't commit

900
00:50:11.920 --> 00:50:12.400
when you did.

901
00:50:12.760 --> 00:50:14.440
I know what you were ordered to do.

902
00:50:14.480 --> 00:50:15.159
What?

903
00:50:15.159 --> 00:50:15.599
What's this?

904
00:50:15.960 --> 00:50:16.920
A moment of truth?

905
00:50:17.000 --> 00:50:17.800
I'm afraid, Larry.

906
00:50:17.880 --> 00:50:19.679
Oh, I know how highly the Major regard you, madam,

907
00:50:20.480 --> 00:50:21.800
and I also know what he thinks of me.

908
00:50:22.599 --> 00:50:23.960
Tonight will change that?

909
00:50:24.559 --> 00:50:25.039
Give me that.

910
00:50:25.079 --> 00:50:36.760
Sing here writing you would, Carol you you were telling

911
00:50:36.800 --> 00:50:37.360
me the truth?

912
00:50:37.920 --> 00:50:46.119
Yes, yes I was, and I had to kill him

913
00:50:46.159 --> 00:50:51.039
to make you see it. Where is the paper? Please?

914
00:50:53.079 --> 00:50:55.719
In my hotel room?

915
00:50:54.920 --> 00:50:58.760
Aren't you ever going to stop playing games?

916
00:50:58.800 --> 00:51:00.199
You know your room was, sir.

917
00:51:00.400 --> 00:51:02.320
Let me get dressed and i'll show you.

918
00:51:11.480 --> 00:51:13.960
If it's not here, there's going to be the devil depate.

919
00:51:14.000 --> 00:51:14.440
Don't worry.

920
00:51:14.440 --> 00:51:17.440
It's here now I'm the one who has to be shown.

921
00:51:18.280 --> 00:51:22.039
Trained operatives from two special branches went over this room

922
00:51:22.119 --> 00:51:24.000
with everything except Geiger counts.

923
00:51:24.079 --> 00:51:26.639
Okay, okay, where are we going?

924
00:51:26.760 --> 00:51:31.000
The bathroom that was searched too, Oh, I don't doubt it.

925
00:51:32.320 --> 00:51:32.480
Oh.

926
00:51:32.519 --> 00:51:33.880
We went through that cabinet.

927
00:51:35.119 --> 00:51:36.440
What do you see?

928
00:51:37.159 --> 00:51:40.639
Towels, paper tissues, some of your toilet articles. We took

929
00:51:40.639 --> 00:51:41.760
your razor of putts.

930
00:51:41.519 --> 00:51:42.920
Uh huh huh, and what else?

931
00:51:45.079 --> 00:51:48.960
A roll of toilet tissue unopened.

932
00:51:48.320 --> 00:51:51.039
And as the friends say, mademoiselle, voila.

933
00:51:51.760 --> 00:51:55.039
Oh and now we unrolled this toilet tissue and keep

934
00:51:55.119 --> 00:51:55.559
on road.

935
00:51:56.440 --> 00:52:00.840
And oh my god, where did you learn to open

936
00:52:00.880 --> 00:52:02.880
a package and reseal it like that?

937
00:52:04.239 --> 00:52:06.679
When I was a kid, I was the best clerk

938
00:52:06.719 --> 00:52:08.280
in Roscoe's shipping department.

939
00:52:08.519 --> 00:52:08.679
Oh?

940
00:52:10.320 --> 00:52:17.639
Thanks, it was nice knowing you. I really mean that.

941
00:52:17.800 --> 00:52:20.800
Larry, Hey, wait a minute, Wait a minute. Surely I've

942
00:52:20.840 --> 00:52:22.079
earned the right to buy your dinner.

943
00:52:22.559 --> 00:52:23.159
I'd like to.

944
00:52:23.280 --> 00:52:27.280
Well, you'd better I'll start doing some talking black man.

945
00:52:28.360 --> 00:52:36.039
You said it, all right, I'll meet you at Lydma

946
00:52:36.159 --> 00:52:37.199
Goo at ten thirty.

947
00:52:37.239 --> 00:52:39.960
No way, let's try the right bank, Lauro Tonde.

948
00:52:40.440 --> 00:52:41.039
That's a date.

949
00:52:42.199 --> 00:52:42.760
I'll see you.

950
00:52:43.480 --> 00:52:54.199
Better be there, shirts ties. Yes, I think that's everything. Come,

951
00:52:56.159 --> 00:53:00.360
Oh it's Zuro Juonski. Are you coming with me? Staying

952
00:53:00.880 --> 00:53:02.199
and we shall say goodbye.

953
00:53:02.480 --> 00:53:04.320
I do not have much time. The plane from Moscow

954
00:53:04.440 --> 00:53:06.840
leaves it. I do not think you'll be taking the plane.

955
00:53:06.960 --> 00:53:07.719
Are you insane?

956
00:53:08.519 --> 00:53:12.159
You know I've been recalled not precisely what you mean,

957
00:53:12.480 --> 00:53:17.480
not precisely. Moscow feels you have bungled badly. So it's

958
00:53:17.639 --> 00:53:20.559
not the first time that an operation is bursed. You

959
00:53:20.679 --> 00:53:22.239
were duped by the American girl.

960
00:53:23.360 --> 00:53:25.880
You know she was a double ed. I know now,

961
00:53:27.039 --> 00:53:29.480
did you know before she killed the Claire? I was

962
00:53:29.519 --> 00:53:33.400
not in charge at that time. At that time, Now

963
00:53:33.519 --> 00:53:36.199
there are two murders that cannot be hushed up. The

964
00:53:36.320 --> 00:53:39.639
French police must have a murderer to satisfy.

965
00:53:39.239 --> 00:53:41.920
The public, then give them carrors. She I only wish

966
00:53:42.000 --> 00:53:45.679
that we could. They want you. You have been chosen

967
00:53:45.760 --> 00:53:49.400
to be the murderer. I am replacing you as the

968
00:53:49.480 --> 00:53:52.639
head of the section. Ridiculous. I won't remain quiet.

969
00:53:53.360 --> 00:53:54.800
I have a lot I could and will say to

970
00:53:54.840 --> 00:53:56.719
the authorities if Moscow abandons me?

971
00:53:57.280 --> 00:53:59.880
Have you listened to her astray? You're no time to listen.

972
00:54:00.400 --> 00:54:03.000
We hypodermic, don't.

973
00:54:05.599 --> 00:54:05.800
You go.

974
00:54:06.119 --> 00:54:08.760
You should be pleased to know that you're dying. You'll

975
00:54:08.880 --> 00:54:10.159
serve a good course.

976
00:54:19.320 --> 00:54:22.000
I'm sorry, I'm late for that spot. There were loose

977
00:54:22.039 --> 00:54:23.480
heads that had to be clear that well.

978
00:54:23.519 --> 00:54:27.400
I thought maybe you decided against coming, after all, your

979
00:54:27.519 --> 00:54:28.480
job here is finished.

980
00:54:28.800 --> 00:54:32.519
Well, yes, now that the Russians know you, there's nothing

981
00:54:32.559 --> 00:54:35.199
for you to do. It would be suicide to try to.

982
00:54:35.559 --> 00:54:38.280
Oh, there are other things for me, sure.

983
00:54:38.639 --> 00:54:41.719
Like getting married to a love sick newspaper man, settling down,

984
00:54:41.840 --> 00:54:42.559
raising the family.

985
00:54:43.679 --> 00:54:47.079
Oh oh, I.

986
00:54:49.199 --> 00:54:52.000
I take it on your first month of hurry, first

987
00:54:52.039 --> 00:54:56.800
and only, well, Larry, were very different from other women.

988
00:54:57.719 --> 00:55:01.480
You know, our business, you pay dues and they're heavy payments.

989
00:55:02.960 --> 00:55:03.519
I don't get it.

990
00:55:04.039 --> 00:55:06.880
I'm talking about sitting at another cafe on the Left Bank,

991
00:55:08.159 --> 00:55:11.039
sitting and knowing that an agent named Wilson was going

992
00:55:11.119 --> 00:55:15.519
to be killed, clumsily trying to warn him, and finally

993
00:55:16.639 --> 00:55:17.800
deciding that.

994
00:55:17.920 --> 00:55:21.679
His death was the way it had to be. Larry,

995
00:55:21.760 --> 00:55:22.639
that's a big payment.

996
00:55:23.159 --> 00:55:25.239
You can forget about it now. It wasn't your fault.

997
00:55:25.360 --> 00:55:30.800
No, forget about that, and forget about Leclaire. You see,

998
00:55:32.199 --> 00:55:33.159
it's even hard.

999
00:55:33.039 --> 00:55:36.760
For you to say I had to kill it.

1000
00:55:39.440 --> 00:55:42.480
No, Larry, I have to keep on to justify those things.

1001
00:55:43.360 --> 00:55:46.400
By Larry, thanks for the champagne.

1002
00:55:45.960 --> 00:55:48.159
But our dinner. I've ordered dinner. At least have dinner

1003
00:55:48.199 --> 00:55:48.400
with me.

1004
00:55:48.880 --> 00:55:53.119
We'd both know what I have to do. If I

1005
00:55:53.199 --> 00:55:57.519
ever changed my mind, I promise I'll come running.

1006
00:56:03.280 --> 00:56:07.840
Larry Fielding sat in La Rotonde and watched her walk away.

1007
00:56:09.440 --> 00:56:11.840
He knew she was walking out of his life.

1008
00:56:12.760 --> 00:56:15.639
For a moment, he toyed with the idea of running

1009
00:56:15.719 --> 00:56:20.519
after her and joining her world of spies. He flirted

1010
00:56:20.599 --> 00:56:23.599
with the idea that he might even be some sort

1011
00:56:23.639 --> 00:56:28.719
of an American James Bond. But then the waiter brought

1012
00:56:28.760 --> 00:56:33.639
the dinner, and to his surprise, he was hungry, and

1013
00:56:33.800 --> 00:56:37.599
that realization made him wonder about whether or not he

1014
00:56:37.800 --> 00:56:38.719
was truly in love.

1015
00:56:39.840 --> 00:56:43.599
I'll be back shortly. Who knows how to help you

1016
00:56:43.760 --> 00:56:50.000
solve your shopping problems? You're better business girl knows.

1017
00:56:50.960 --> 00:56:54.239
I saw this perfectly darling mirror in the showroom, so

1018
00:56:54.360 --> 00:56:57.159
I bought it. But when the truck came, they delivered

1019
00:56:57.199 --> 00:57:00.840
this thing I never saw before. Now what am I

1020
00:57:00.960 --> 00:57:01.519
going to do?

1021
00:57:05.039 --> 00:57:06.840
I'll tell you what to do, madam.

1022
00:57:07.719 --> 00:57:08.159
Who are you?

1023
00:57:09.000 --> 00:57:11.960
I'm the man from the Better Business Bureau. Now the

1024
00:57:12.039 --> 00:57:14.320
first thing to do is to call the store manager

1025
00:57:14.400 --> 00:57:17.400
and tell him what happened. But in the future, when

1026
00:57:17.440 --> 00:57:20.960
your merchandise is delivered, you should examine the item before

1027
00:57:21.119 --> 00:57:24.280
the delivery truck leaves, and if it's to be delivered

1028
00:57:24.320 --> 00:57:27.639
from a warehouse, have a clear understanding with the dealer

1029
00:57:27.800 --> 00:57:30.239
that unless it is the same as the sample was

1030
00:57:30.320 --> 00:57:31.480
shown to you, you.

1031
00:57:31.559 --> 00:57:35.360
Will not accept it or pay for it? Oh, thank you.

1032
00:57:36.679 --> 00:57:39.639
Just part of my job, madam, to help people with

1033
00:57:39.760 --> 00:57:41.320
their shopping problems.

1034
00:57:53.599 --> 00:57:56.920
Back in New York, Larry Fielding returned to his old

1035
00:57:57.039 --> 00:58:01.280
job an old friend and boss, Horace Finley, who was

1036
00:58:01.440 --> 00:58:05.719
curious about what had happened in Paris. Finley kept pressing

1037
00:58:05.800 --> 00:58:11.800
Larry to tell him about his Parisian adventure. Finally, Larry said, I'll.

1038
00:58:11.639 --> 00:58:16.400
Tell you, Horace. In Paris, the food was good.

1039
00:58:17.880 --> 00:58:22.280
Our cast included William Redfield, Joan Loring, Roger to coven,

1040
00:58:22.559 --> 00:58:27.119
Ian Martin, and Chris Gambell. The entire production was under

1041
00:58:27.159 --> 00:58:31.159
the direction of Hyman Brown. Radio Mystery Theater was sponsored

1042
00:58:31.199 --> 00:58:33.800
in part by New Sugar Free Diet seven Up.

1043
00:58:34.440 --> 00:58:34.960
This is E. G.

1044
00:58:35.199 --> 00:58:38.360
Marshall inviting you to return to our Radio Mystery Theater

1045
00:58:38.880 --> 00:58:41.199
for another adventure in the macabre.

1046
00:58:42.679 --> 00:59:07.880
Until next time, Pleasant Dreams. W DAF Kansas City.

1047
00:59:18.360 --> 00:59:27.079
My dear, do you find yourself at ease or at odds?

1048
00:59:28.840 --> 00:59:37.079
That is the question, isn't it. I suppose it's not

1049
00:59:37.199 --> 00:59:43.800
always the easiest to figure out. After all, oneself is complicated.

1050
00:59:45.679 --> 00:59:50.880
Or perhaps we are simple, simpler than we could ever imagine,

1051
00:59:52.119 --> 00:59:55.159
and the rest is just destiny.

1052
00:59:56.239 --> 00:59:58.760
Have you heard the strange tales of the Whistler.

1053
01:00:15.440 --> 01:00:16.679
I'm the whistler.

1054
01:00:21.079 --> 01:00:23.840
I have as much freedom as a squirrel in a cage.

1055
01:00:24.440 --> 01:00:28.199
Marthia is a cold mercenary devil. But I'll have freedom

1056
01:00:28.679 --> 01:00:30.880
beginning tonight. I'll kill her.

1057
01:00:34.639 --> 01:00:37.760
Friday night and again. CBS presents the Whistler.

1058
01:00:44.599 --> 01:00:48.480
I the whistler, know many things, or I walk by night.

1059
01:00:49.480 --> 01:00:52.800
I know many strange tales, many secrets hidden in the

1060
01:00:52.880 --> 01:00:55.760
hearts of men and women who have stepped into the shadows.

1061
01:00:56.639 --> 01:01:01.039
And so I tell you tonight the amazing story of Destiny.

1062
01:01:06.360 --> 01:01:08.519
At a long table in a New York office sits

1063
01:01:08.559 --> 01:01:11.599
a little man. He is slightly bald and thin and

1064
01:01:11.760 --> 01:01:16.119
forty five, A mild manner, reticent little fellow named Milton Strong.

1065
01:01:16.920 --> 01:01:20.360
But Milton is anything but strong. For the past twenty

1066
01:01:20.440 --> 01:01:22.400
five years he has worked in the office, and now

1067
01:01:22.440 --> 01:01:25.559
as a bookkeeper, is earning the stupendous.

1068
01:01:24.960 --> 01:01:26.599
Salary of thirty five dollars a week.

1069
01:01:27.400 --> 01:01:31.400
Milton can't understand why no one appreciates his ability. Milton

1070
01:01:31.440 --> 01:01:33.079
has grown a bit sour, but he's never had the

1071
01:01:33.159 --> 01:01:36.039
nerve to ask for a raise. Today, however, is going

1072
01:01:36.119 --> 01:01:38.559
to be different. His wife has started him out with

1073
01:01:38.599 --> 01:01:41.079
a lecture, and Milton is going to face the boss

1074
01:01:41.119 --> 01:01:43.199
in a manner both clear and strong.

1075
01:01:44.360 --> 01:01:48.719
Mister gulfwrit I'd like to have a word behaving, mister Goulfwright.

1076
01:01:48.880 --> 01:01:50.920
It has long been my decision to approach you on

1077
01:01:51.000 --> 01:01:54.039
this subject, but for various reasons, a sense of reticence

1078
01:01:54.199 --> 01:01:55.599
has bade me be Simon.

1079
01:01:55.760 --> 01:01:57.280
How long did it take you to memorize that?

1080
01:01:57.400 --> 01:01:57.679
Milton?

1081
01:01:57.800 --> 01:02:00.320
I am forty five years old. I work hard and

1082
01:02:00.400 --> 01:02:01.679
long and faithfully for this company.

1083
01:02:01.800 --> 01:02:03.199
That's right, Milton, I'm aware of that.

1084
01:02:03.440 --> 01:02:05.079
You haven't missed a day and all that time.

1085
01:02:05.440 --> 01:02:07.880
In fact, our efficiency expert is getting out of booklets

1086
01:02:07.920 --> 01:02:09.480
and he's using you as a feature.

1087
01:02:09.599 --> 01:02:11.320
I came to this firm as a land of twenty

1088
01:02:11.599 --> 01:02:14.079
and in all the following twenty five years I asked

1089
01:02:14.079 --> 01:02:14.719
for very little.

1090
01:02:14.960 --> 01:02:17.079
I did my work well, Sure you did, Milton, and

1091
01:02:17.199 --> 01:02:18.280
the company appreciates it.

1092
01:02:18.440 --> 01:02:20.960
I now draw a salary of thirty five dollars a week.

1093
01:02:21.119 --> 01:02:23.480
And I thought that if after all this time, twenty

1094
01:02:23.519 --> 01:02:25.679
five years, you could see your way clear to afford

1095
01:02:25.760 --> 01:02:29.760
the go on, Milton, that to afford very well. I'm

1096
01:02:29.800 --> 01:02:30.760
not getting any younger.

1097
01:02:30.960 --> 01:02:33.599
Well, Milton's strange as it seems. I've just come from

1098
01:02:33.599 --> 01:02:35.920
a meeting of the department heads. Mister Hunger is ahead

1099
01:02:35.920 --> 01:02:37.039
of the accounting department, and.

1100
01:02:37.639 --> 01:02:39.880
I'll let me see you. Oh, yes, here it is.

1101
01:02:40.519 --> 01:02:41.239
Yes, here's his.

1102
01:02:41.320 --> 01:02:42.960
Recommendation regarding you, Milton.

1103
01:02:43.079 --> 01:02:44.440
Oh yes, yes, mister goofright.

1104
01:02:44.599 --> 01:02:47.000
He recommends that you'll be retired of half salary as

1105
01:02:47.119 --> 01:02:49.280
of the first of the month, in consideration of your

1106
01:02:49.320 --> 01:02:51.159
long service and loyalty to the company.

1107
01:02:52.320 --> 01:02:53.239
Retire.

1108
01:02:53.800 --> 01:02:57.320
Oh but that can be retiring, that's what it says here.

1109
01:02:57.360 --> 01:02:59.400
And I don't understand. I'm only forty five. I know

1110
01:02:59.519 --> 01:02:59.960
one is retire.

1111
01:03:00.880 --> 01:03:02.400
Why you should be tickled to death?

1112
01:03:02.559 --> 01:03:04.199
It's like a bench and I came here to ask

1113
01:03:04.239 --> 01:03:06.440
for a raise, a raise?

1114
01:03:06.760 --> 01:03:09.480
Well, how could that be possible when your department head

1115
01:03:09.480 --> 01:03:12.519
suggests retirement? Oh I see why you should be tickled

1116
01:03:12.519 --> 01:03:15.159
to death. I'd be And you get two weeks full

1117
01:03:15.239 --> 01:03:18.000
salary and two weeks vacation besides that full pay.

1118
01:03:18.400 --> 01:03:20.320
You know, Milton, I can't envy you.

1119
01:03:22.159 --> 01:03:22.760
I'm fired.

1120
01:03:23.480 --> 01:03:28.320
Why that's crazy. You've been honored. Eh, good night, mister,

1121
01:03:28.400 --> 01:03:29.559
good good night, Milton.

1122
01:03:29.800 --> 01:03:31.960
After saturity, you've got nothing to worry about.

1123
01:03:32.199 --> 01:03:41.480
Nothing and so poor Melton strong walks out of the

1124
01:03:41.519 --> 01:03:42.920
big office and starts home.

1125
01:03:43.800 --> 01:03:47.239
All the way his feeling of apprehension increases. His wife

1126
01:03:47.360 --> 01:03:50.480
Mark what will she say? It was his wife who

1127
01:03:50.559 --> 01:03:53.519
stirred unt to the point of demanding a raise. Finally,

1128
01:03:53.559 --> 01:03:56.079
Milton gets up nerve enough to go home home to

1129
01:03:56.239 --> 01:03:58.000
certain death at the hands of Martha.

1130
01:04:02.239 --> 01:04:03.360
Yeah, yes, it's me, Matha.

1131
01:04:03.519 --> 01:04:04.679
Well, where I know that you're been?

1132
01:04:05.199 --> 01:04:06.559
Can't you ever get it into your head? And when

1133
01:04:06.599 --> 01:04:08.320
I say dinner'll be ready by six nine minutes.

1134
01:04:08.559 --> 01:04:11.039
The things happen sometimes to the lay me Matha delay you.

1135
01:04:12.000 --> 01:04:13.400
I like to know what could happen to make you

1136
01:04:13.480 --> 01:04:13.760
this late?

1137
01:04:13.800 --> 01:04:15.119
But see I took some time to talk.

1138
01:04:15.239 --> 01:04:16.519
What do you mean my coming into this house and

1139
01:04:16.559 --> 01:04:18.559
that mud on your shoes? Get outside and take those

1140
01:04:18.639 --> 01:04:19.079
rubbers off.

1141
01:04:19.360 --> 01:04:19.800
I forgot it.

1142
01:04:19.880 --> 01:04:21.519
Yeah, you forget your head if it wasn't tied up.

1143
01:04:21.679 --> 01:04:22.599
Yes, Motha, I'll take them all.

1144
01:04:22.719 --> 01:04:24.239
What do you mean coming into the house smoking? That's

1145
01:04:24.280 --> 01:04:26.199
drinking pipe? Get it outside you here.

1146
01:04:26.159 --> 01:04:28.000
Yes, mother, But I started to tell you I'll go

1147
01:04:28.119 --> 01:04:28.400
on out.

1148
01:04:28.400 --> 01:04:30.000
If you insist on smoking, do it outside.

1149
01:04:30.199 --> 01:04:31.639
Put it out, Matha, I'll put it.

1150
01:04:31.679 --> 01:04:33.599
Out Denner's cold and you can eat it that way.

1151
01:04:33.599 --> 01:04:34.599
Well, I couldn't help it.

1152
01:04:34.679 --> 01:04:37.239
I went to talk to them, to gool right about

1153
01:04:37.280 --> 01:04:37.639
the rais?

1154
01:04:37.760 --> 01:04:38.639
Yeah, what happened?

1155
01:04:39.480 --> 01:04:43.079
See, I'm a little along in years, along in years?

1156
01:04:43.639 --> 01:04:44.320
Is that what he said?

1157
01:04:44.320 --> 01:04:45.880
Well, he didn't say if the head of the department

1158
01:04:45.920 --> 01:04:48.719
had made a recommendation. But what Well, now, don't get excited, Martha.

1159
01:04:48.760 --> 01:04:50.360
I went in to ask for the raise, as you said,

1160
01:04:50.400 --> 01:04:52.599
and well everything had been a rained Did you get

1161
01:04:52.639 --> 01:04:52.960
the rais?

1162
01:04:53.679 --> 01:04:53.719
No?

1163
01:04:54.360 --> 01:04:57.119
I've been retired on half salary.

1164
01:04:57.320 --> 01:04:59.880
Retired retired at your age?

1165
01:05:00.000 --> 01:05:00.679
Are you crazy?

1166
01:05:01.159 --> 01:05:01.960
Why did you accept?

1167
01:05:02.039 --> 01:05:02.800
Why? Except?

1168
01:05:02.880 --> 01:05:03.400
What could I do?

1169
01:05:04.559 --> 01:05:06.719
So you went in to ask for a raise and

1170
01:05:06.800 --> 01:05:08.559
you let them throw you out right into the edge.

1171
01:05:08.559 --> 01:05:09.199
Oh what could I do?

1172
01:05:09.320 --> 01:05:10.880
It was all arrange, hired at.

1173
01:05:10.800 --> 01:05:13.599
Half salary seventeen sixty a week, and you stood there

1174

1175

You stupid, spiless jelly.

1176
01:05:17.320 --> 01:05:18.960
Could I do you let them push you around for

1177
01:05:19.039 --> 01:05:21.239
twenty five years? You could have been a goose rice

1178
01:05:21.320 --> 01:05:23.320
job right now, but you are afraid to open up

1179
01:05:23.320 --> 01:05:23.639
your mind.

1180
01:05:23.679 --> 01:05:25.559
You went to his office to demand a raise, but

1181
01:05:25.679 --> 01:05:26.840
he beat.

1182
01:05:26.719 --> 01:05:27.039
Me to it.

Now, that's always in the tuble, Milton Strong, somebody's always

1184
01:05:29.679 --> 01:05:30.159
beat you to it.

1185
01:05:30.440 --> 01:05:34.719
Spoke up first, retired seventeen fifty.

A week, an old man, And how are you going

1187

to manage on seventeen sixty a week?

1188
01:05:38.639 --> 01:05:40.519
Well, I suppose I can find something else.

1189
01:05:40.599 --> 01:05:41.199
I'd like to know what.

1190
01:05:41.480 --> 01:05:44.239
I'll find something, and until I do, well, your sister

What did you say? Nothing?

1193
01:05:51.119 --> 01:05:54.039
That is, if you think I'm going to touch a

1194
01:05:54.119 --> 01:05:56.079
dollar or that money while you're still able to stand

1195
01:05:56.119 --> 01:05:58.559
on two feet, you're crazy. It's in the man and

1196
01:05:58.599 --> 01:06:01.159
it'll stay there. And if you want to hope that

1197
01:06:01.199 --> 01:06:02.119
filthy pipe, get.

1198
01:06:02.079 --> 01:06:05.639
Outside, Yes, Mama, I'll go outside.

1199
01:06:05.880 --> 01:06:07.679
Do you want anything to eat? It's on the kitchen table.

1200
01:06:07.960 --> 01:06:11.559
I don't want anything what I'll leave it later after

1201
01:06:11.559 --> 01:06:14.360
a while, Mother, I want to think things.

1202
01:06:15.800 --> 01:06:19.079
Don't worry yourself out. I'm going to bed. Good night,

1203
01:06:20.400 --> 01:06:21.320
I said, good night.

1204
01:06:22.960 --> 01:06:23.760
Good night, Martha.

1205
01:06:24.960 --> 01:06:35.480
Good Night's long past midnight, and Milton has been sitting

1206
01:06:35.559 --> 01:06:38.920
by the window, staring into the night. Resentment has taken

1207
01:06:38.960 --> 01:06:42.000
hold of him and slowly grown into hatred and revenge.

1208
01:06:43.000 --> 01:06:44.920
Terrible thoughts surged through his brain.

1209
01:06:45.760 --> 01:06:47.840
Why should I tolerate such persecution?

1210
01:06:48.480 --> 01:06:50.719
Why should I stand idly by and be pushed.

1211
01:06:50.440 --> 01:06:51.239
Around by everyone?

1212
01:06:52.599 --> 01:06:54.800
Firm bulldos my mother?

1213
01:06:55.480 --> 01:06:58.320
She's not a wife, She's a cool mercenary devil.

1214
01:06:58.920 --> 01:06:59.400
Freedom.

1215
01:07:00.079 --> 01:07:01.880
I have as much freedom as a squirrel and a

1216
01:07:02.000 --> 01:07:04.760
key appreciation loyalty twenty.

1217
01:07:04.519 --> 01:07:05.280
Five years of it.

1218
01:07:06.039 --> 01:07:08.480
What do I get? But I have freedom.

1219
01:07:08.599 --> 01:07:10.639
I will have it beginning tonight.

1220
01:07:11.119 --> 01:07:11.880
I'll kill her.

1221
01:07:12.639 --> 01:07:13.440
I'll go far away.

1222
01:07:13.800 --> 01:07:15.360
No one will ever know what's come of it.

1223
01:07:22.320 --> 01:07:25.440
Trembling in anticipation, Milton goes into the small kitchen, opens

1224
01:07:25.480 --> 01:07:29.119
a drawer, and steps softly to Martha's room, opens her door,

1225
01:07:29.159 --> 01:07:37.480
and stands listening to her easy breathing. Then Milton leaves

1226
01:07:37.559 --> 01:07:40.960
the house and wanders about the streets till dawn. Then,

1227
01:07:41.000 --> 01:07:43.000
at ten in the morning, he steps into the bank.

1228
01:07:43.679 --> 01:07:44.880
Good morning, mister Strong.

1229
01:07:45.000 --> 01:07:49.679
Oh I'd like to cash this check please, I.

1230
01:07:49.760 --> 01:07:52.480
See purchasing some property.

1231
01:07:52.559 --> 01:07:59.199
Mister Strong, Yeah, well just a second, a second, Oh

1232
01:07:59.639 --> 01:07:59.960
very well?

1233
01:08:00.039 --> 01:08:01.159
Oh how do you want it?

1234
01:08:01.280 --> 01:08:02.440
So? What doesn't matter?

1235
01:08:02.719 --> 01:08:04.440
That's a small bills would be best?

1236
01:08:04.480 --> 01:08:09.960
Oh, yes, yes, of course, yes, four, here you are,

1237
01:08:10.360 --> 01:08:11.079
thank you, thank.

1238
01:08:10.960 --> 01:08:12.039
You, good mine.

1239
01:08:20.279 --> 01:08:22.960
Several days later, Milton Strong gets off a train in

1240
01:08:23.039 --> 01:08:25.880
a western state, takes a small bus for a little

1241
01:08:25.920 --> 01:08:30.079
mining town fifty miles away. Here, in this vast desert country,

1242
01:08:30.359 --> 01:08:32.640
he will begin a new life, a life of freedom.

1243
01:08:33.159 --> 01:08:36.840
He will change his name, change his destiny. Milton Strong

1244
01:08:36.880 --> 01:08:40.279
has ceased to exist. A new man is born. A

1245
01:08:40.319 --> 01:08:43.640
little bus bounces into Oroville, and two hours later he

1246
01:08:43.760 --> 01:08:46.079
is chatting with a prospector in the gold plate bar.

1247
01:08:48.920 --> 01:08:49.920
Well, I'll tell your partner.

1248
01:08:49.920 --> 01:08:51.359
I've been here a couple of years, and I haven't

1249
01:08:51.359 --> 01:08:53.760
struck much yet. Oh I found little pay dirt. I

1250
01:08:53.880 --> 01:08:54.439
forget along.

1251
01:08:54.840 --> 01:08:57.039
There's supposed to be quite a lot of gold here.

1252
01:08:57.000 --> 01:08:57.319
Isn't there.

1253
01:08:57.439 --> 01:08:57.560
Oh?

1254
01:08:57.680 --> 01:08:58.279
Sure, a chair?

1255
01:08:58.279 --> 01:08:58.880
It's all over.

1256
01:08:59.399 --> 01:09:01.880
Sometimes strike in a day or so, and then sometimes

1257
01:09:01.920 --> 01:09:04.279
you work for years. If a man ain't got capped

1258
01:09:04.319 --> 01:09:06.960
with his own, well, somebody's got a grubstake him.

1259
01:09:07.359 --> 01:09:07.880
What a chair?

1260
01:09:08.560 --> 01:09:10.680
In other words, it's a matter of being optimistic.

1261
01:09:10.880 --> 01:09:11.840
Yeah, yeah, that's it.

1262
01:09:12.199 --> 01:09:13.600
But I think I'd like to try it. Of course

1263
01:09:13.640 --> 01:09:14.960
I don't know anything about mining.

1264
01:09:15.079 --> 01:09:15.880
Oh you don't have to know.

1265
01:09:15.960 --> 01:09:18.720
In this country, it's easy. Anybody can tell golden he

1266
01:09:18.760 --> 01:09:19.079
sees it.

1267
01:09:19.560 --> 01:09:20.079
Where are you from?

1268
01:09:20.399 --> 01:09:23.279
At Los Angeles? I had to come here the doctor said,

1269
01:09:23.279 --> 01:09:24.880
I should get away from the ocean air.

1270
01:09:25.319 --> 01:09:26.079
You don't look sick.

1271
01:09:26.520 --> 01:09:28.319
I was fortunate to have a check up in time.

1272
01:09:29.039 --> 01:09:30.720
I'd like to find a place and try my hand

1273
01:09:30.760 --> 01:09:30.920
of it.

1274
01:09:31.159 --> 01:09:35.039
You mean fireplace, yes, he said, Well I got a

1275
01:09:35.119 --> 01:09:38.920
nice place, three room, cavin good water or there you

1276
01:09:39.000 --> 01:09:39.720
got the patients.

1277
01:09:40.000 --> 01:09:41.039
You mean you want to quit?

1278
01:09:41.359 --> 01:09:44.199
Well no, I don't want to, but I'm out of funds.

1279
01:09:44.560 --> 01:09:46.720
I owe everybody in town, so I ain't got a choice,

1280
01:09:47.319 --> 01:09:49.159
and the fellow who gets it'll probably be the one

1281
01:09:49.199 --> 01:09:49.960
to hit dirt in a week?

1282
01:09:50.119 --> 01:09:50.880
Is it far from town?

1283
01:09:51.159 --> 01:09:54.880
Watch twenty five miles? Kind of lonely for a fellow alone.

1284
01:09:55.359 --> 01:09:56.800
But could I see the place? Sure?

1285
01:09:57.399 --> 01:09:59.359
I ain't been up there for a week and staying

1286
01:09:59.399 --> 01:10:01.319
here in town while my wife went to Sacramento to

1287
01:10:01.399 --> 01:10:01.880
try to raise a.

1288
01:10:01.840 --> 01:10:02.840
Little money from her uncle.

1289
01:10:03.319 --> 01:10:05.600
She just got back this morning. She's doing a little shopping.

1290
01:10:05.640 --> 01:10:05.760
Now.

1291
01:10:06.039 --> 01:10:07.039
Did she raise any money?

1292
01:10:07.159 --> 01:10:09.079
No, just enough to eat on for a few weeks.

1293
01:10:09.439 --> 01:10:12.600
But we've decided to pull out. Besides, I hurt my

1294
01:10:12.760 --> 01:10:13.319
arm last week.

1295
01:10:13.439 --> 01:10:16.039
Oh, but I'd like to look the place over Well here, I.

1296
01:10:16.119 --> 01:10:19.000
Am believe me, I'm ready to go. I'm dead tired.

1297
01:10:19.199 --> 01:10:22.159
Oh, Kate, this is a gentleman who wants to look

1298
01:10:22.239 --> 01:10:25.039
the claim over, but we might take him with us now,

1299
01:10:25.640 --> 01:10:27.960
Oh well sure, why not?

1300
01:10:28.479 --> 01:10:30.199
This is my wife, Kate Rogers.

1301
01:10:30.880 --> 01:10:31.960
How do you do stranger?

1302
01:10:32.039 --> 01:10:32.159
Here?

1303
01:10:33.359 --> 01:10:35.520
Well, let's be on our way. I'm sure you like

1304
01:10:35.600 --> 01:10:35.960
the place.

1305
01:10:36.079 --> 01:10:38.039
The car is just around the corner. How do you

1306
01:10:38.079 --> 01:10:38.840
want to get your bags?

1307
01:10:39.039 --> 01:10:40.359
They're up at the door. I haven't been to a

1308
01:10:40.439 --> 01:10:40.960
hotel yet.

1309
01:10:41.079 --> 01:10:43.199
That's good. We'll beat it the place in about an hour.

1310
01:10:57.560 --> 01:11:01.439
Oh this is it, friends, Fine from here and have

1311
01:11:01.520 --> 01:11:04.119
a look inside, and tomorrow my husband and take you

1312
01:11:04.159 --> 01:11:04.800
over the claim.

1313
01:11:06.760 --> 01:11:09.560
There are three rooms, living room, bedroom, kitchen, all fairly

1314
01:11:09.600 --> 01:11:10.279
good side.

1315
01:11:10.039 --> 01:11:11.600
Will actually certainly be enough for one man.

1316
01:11:12.079 --> 01:11:12.760
You're not married?

1317
01:11:13.119 --> 01:11:14.199
No, no, no, I'm alone.

1318
01:11:15.800 --> 01:11:18.880
Guess I means I light the lamb. No electricity up here?

1319
01:11:19.600 --> 01:11:21.159
Nothing else modern from that matters.

1320
01:11:21.359 --> 01:11:23.279
I understand. Yes, it's very nice.

1321
01:11:23.800 --> 01:11:24.239
I like it.

1322
01:11:24.479 --> 01:11:26.520
Plenty of good water for drinking and sluicing.

1323
01:11:27.159 --> 01:11:29.560
The'er wonderful? That should interest you?

1324
01:11:29.960 --> 01:11:32.319
Are something wrong with you, stranger?

1325
01:11:32.720 --> 01:11:34.760
Yes, well it's just a little touch of lung trouble.

1326
01:11:35.239 --> 01:11:37.720
Oh, by the way, mister Rogers, how did you injure

1327
01:11:37.720 --> 01:11:39.560
your arm? I noticed it's in a sling.

1328
01:11:39.920 --> 01:11:42.760
It was my own darn fault. Kate warned me about

1329
01:11:42.800 --> 01:11:45.520
digging on that ledge. I fell off, and well I

1330
01:11:45.520 --> 01:11:46.760
didn't break it, but the cuts just.

1331
01:11:46.760 --> 01:11:47.439
Don't seem to heal.

1332
01:11:47.600 --> 01:11:50.000
M Oh, I see hour to get back to the property.

1333
01:11:50.119 --> 01:11:52.800
I'm pretty sure there's r on it, rich Or, and

1334
01:11:52.880 --> 01:11:54.199
there's plenty of game around here.

1335
01:11:54.319 --> 01:11:56.159
Come on, take a look at the bedroom in the kitchen.

1336
01:12:00.920 --> 01:12:01.760
This is the bedroom.

1337
01:12:03.119 --> 01:12:03.840
What's a matter, Kate?

1338
01:12:05.319 --> 01:12:07.920
Yeah, oh, steady, Kate, take it easy.

1339
01:12:08.279 --> 01:12:09.439
Who is he?

1340
01:12:09.720 --> 01:12:13.880
I don't know, but he's dead. Whoever he is dead,

1341
01:12:14.239 --> 01:12:19.079
he's been shot. No blood around here that I can see.

1342
01:12:20.000 --> 01:12:22.119
Must have been shot someplace else and made his way

1343
01:12:22.159 --> 01:12:22.800
to our places.

1344
01:12:23.319 --> 01:12:23.800
Who is he?

1345
01:12:23.960 --> 01:12:27.279
I don't know, never seen him before. According to his.

1346
01:12:27.399 --> 01:12:29.600
Clothes, I'd say it's from out of town man, from

1347
01:12:29.640 --> 01:12:32.399
some city. When you're saying yeah, he must be forty

1348
01:12:32.479 --> 01:12:33.600
five or fifty, I'd say.

1349
01:12:33.520 --> 01:12:35.319
See, we better go back to town and get the sheriff.

1350
01:12:35.479 --> 01:12:39.119
Yeah, I guess, so somebody should stay here. You'll have

1351
01:12:39.159 --> 01:12:40.920
to drive me in, Kate, And unless.

1352
01:12:40.680 --> 01:12:42.159
You can drive, mister, oh no, no, no, I never

1353
01:12:42.239 --> 01:12:43.159
drove a card in my life.

1354
01:12:43.640 --> 01:12:44.520
Do you mind staying here.

1355
01:12:44.640 --> 01:12:47.199
No, no, no, I'll standing and come on, Steve, let's go.

1356
01:12:53.319 --> 01:12:55.920
For twenty minutes after the departure of the prospector and

1357
01:12:56.000 --> 01:12:59.880
his wife, Milton stares at the body of the dead man. Then,

1358
01:13:00.119 --> 01:13:03.239
slowly the realization comes upon him. The man is about

1359
01:13:03.279 --> 01:13:07.039
his own age, his own size, from the city, and

1360
01:13:07.159 --> 01:13:10.840
most amazing thing of all, he looks like Milton, a stranger.

1361
01:13:10.960 --> 01:13:13.920
No one knows his name. But no one knows Milton's name.

1362
01:13:14.359 --> 01:13:17.560
He hadn't mentioned his name once. Suddenly he steps to

1363
01:13:17.640 --> 01:13:20.520
the body and goes through the pockets. He finds identifications

1364
01:13:21.119 --> 01:13:24.560
Harry Jacobs. Then in another pocket he finds.

1365
01:13:25.560 --> 01:13:30.720
Good Lord Money Bill Smith. Well there must be one, two, three, four.

1366
01:13:31.479 --> 01:13:36.279
Why there's twenty thousand dollars here twenty thousand dollars and

1367
01:13:36.560 --> 01:13:37.720
no one knows who he is.

1368
01:13:38.000 --> 01:13:39.560
Quickly Milton reaches a decision.

1369
01:13:40.039 --> 01:13:43.439
He exchanges papers with the corpse of Harry Jacobs, replaces

1370
01:13:43.479 --> 01:13:46.079
some of the money in Harry Jacob's pockets and keeps

1371
01:13:46.119 --> 01:13:49.520
some for himself. Then two hours later the rogers return

1372
01:13:49.600 --> 01:13:50.079
with the chef.

1373
01:13:50.720 --> 01:13:53.359
Oh he is sure, huh, I never saw him before?

1374
01:13:54.159 --> 01:13:56.239
They were shot about ten and twelve hours ago.

1375
01:13:56.960 --> 01:13:58.520
How long do you think he's been dead?

1376
01:13:59.479 --> 01:14:00.359
Maybe it's sorry.

1377
01:14:01.159 --> 01:14:04.239
Well, from all appearances, he wasn't shot here. We ain't

1378
01:14:04.279 --> 01:14:05.319
been here for a week, you know.

1379
01:14:05.960 --> 01:14:06.079
Uh.

1380
01:14:06.199 --> 01:14:09.039
Well, see if he's got any identification.

1381
01:14:08.520 --> 01:14:10.760
On, I'd say he was from out of town, from

1382
01:14:10.800 --> 01:14:11.239
the city.

1383
01:14:11.760 --> 01:14:15.199
Oh yo, oh, this gentleman is our guest. He's looking

1384
01:14:15.279 --> 01:14:16.920
the place over with the idea of buying it.

1385
01:14:17.279 --> 01:14:22.520
I see, Oh, here we are. This man's name is

1386
01:14:22.840 --> 01:14:28.800
Milton Strong in New York City. Wait a minute, look

1387
01:14:28.840 --> 01:14:32.399
at this package of bank notes money or wrapped in

1388
01:14:32.439 --> 01:14:34.359
the band, every deprinting on those.

1389
01:14:34.279 --> 01:14:37.600
Bands, First State Bank of Old.

1390
01:14:37.880 --> 01:14:38.319
What do you know?

1391
01:14:39.199 --> 01:14:41.079
This might be the fellow that robbed the bank in town.

1392
01:14:41.159 --> 01:14:41.840
That's afternoon?

1393
01:14:42.079 --> 01:14:43.279
What rob the bank?

1394
01:14:43.439 --> 01:14:46.800
Sure, an't you heard? Kill the casher and got away

1395
01:14:46.840 --> 01:14:49.520
with twenty thousand? Vice president shot at him, but he

1396
01:14:49.600 --> 01:14:52.760
got away. There's probably not what he would And you

1397
01:14:52.840 --> 01:14:53.119
don't know.

1398
01:14:53.199 --> 01:14:55.880
For sure how much they get from the bank twenty thousand?

1399
01:14:56.119 --> 01:14:58.159
How much pitchers are there?

1400
01:14:59.039 --> 01:15:03.600
Let's see, Hey, there's only ten thousand here, And what

1401
01:15:03.720 --> 01:15:06.399
do you make of that? So far as we know,

1402
01:15:06.479 --> 01:15:08.880
there was only one bandit And what do you suppose

1403
01:15:08.920 --> 01:15:12.600
the other ten thousand disappeared? Oh? Well maybe you had

1404
01:15:12.600 --> 01:15:15.640
a court after all, not one was strong.

1405
01:15:15.720 --> 01:15:15.920
Eh.

1406
01:15:16.840 --> 01:15:19.119
Well, let me just get back to town. The authorities

1407
01:15:19.119 --> 01:15:19.479
in New.

1408
01:15:19.439 --> 01:15:21.159
York, the authorities.

1409
01:15:21.880 --> 01:15:23.920
What about his family where the police New York will

1410
01:15:23.920 --> 01:15:27.680
take care of that. Well that's that, I'll return the money.

1411
01:15:27.800 --> 01:15:31.159
You can bury him, Rogers very much here, certainly, what

1412
01:15:31.279 --> 01:15:35.079
else could we do? There's no wondertaker in RL. Body

1413
01:15:35.079 --> 01:15:38.039
wouldn't keep any time in this heat. Well, thanks, Rogers,

1414
01:15:38.039 --> 01:15:39.039
I'll be getting back to town.

1415
01:15:39.239 --> 01:15:39.479
Thanks.

1416
01:15:40.319 --> 01:15:43.159
Yeah, would you say your name was stranger?

1417
01:15:43.800 --> 01:15:46.239
Cool? It's Jacobs, Harry Jacob.

1418
01:15:46.399 --> 01:15:48.479
I see, well it's a long folks.

1419
01:15:55.560 --> 01:15:59.560
So next morning, Milton Straw the bank bandit is buried

1420
01:15:59.600 --> 01:16:02.000
in the sand at the edge of a claim. Yes,

1421
01:16:02.199 --> 01:16:05.119
Milton's strong is no more. He is now known as

1422
01:16:05.199 --> 01:16:08.720
Harry Jacobs. In the afternoon, Roger shows him over the

1423
01:16:08.760 --> 01:16:12.479
property and explains his potentialities. He still hasn't decided, and

1424
01:16:12.640 --> 01:16:14.119
after dinner leaves the cabin again.

1425
01:16:15.439 --> 01:16:16.720
Where's he gone, Nat Steve?

1426
01:16:17.119 --> 01:16:19.720
Oh, he's wandered around by himself, trying to make up

1427
01:16:19.760 --> 01:16:20.840
his mind if he wants a place.

1428
01:16:21.119 --> 01:16:22.720
Sure, it's strange act in Galut.

1429
01:16:22.960 --> 01:16:25.680
I'm just a bit suspicious of him. Kate he said

1430
01:16:25.720 --> 01:16:27.800
he came from Los Anglish, But how do we know?

1431
01:16:28.479 --> 01:16:30.439
Yeah, that's right, how do we know?

1432
01:16:30.920 --> 01:16:33.079
I don't think he's here for his health, and I

1433
01:16:33.199 --> 01:16:35.640
don't think he's a darn bit interested in prospecting.

1434
01:16:36.000 --> 01:16:36.960
Gee, what do you think?

1435
01:16:37.319 --> 01:16:37.640
Tell me?

1436
01:16:38.600 --> 01:16:40.159
Well, I went all.

1437
01:16:40.039 --> 01:16:40.960
Over the property again.

1438
01:16:41.479 --> 01:16:45.199
Well, well you wear yourself out hiking around.

1439
01:16:45.039 --> 01:16:46.479
Like that, mister Rogers.

1440
01:16:46.680 --> 01:16:48.600
I've made up my mind. I'll take the place.

1441
01:16:48.880 --> 01:16:51.600
Yeah. Well, now I'll tell you.

1442
01:16:52.359 --> 01:16:55.600
Kate and I have been talking things over and well,

1443
01:16:56.319 --> 01:16:58.520
take a good deal to buy the place and finance

1444
01:16:58.560 --> 01:16:59.359
the workings properly.

1445
01:17:00.159 --> 01:17:02.439
Plenty of cash, and I want the place to myself.

1446
01:17:02.680 --> 01:17:06.359
Yeah you got the money with you or in a bank?

1447
01:17:06.479 --> 01:17:06.640
Yes?

1448
01:17:06.840 --> 01:17:08.680
I have some with me enough, I'm sure I hadn't

1449
01:17:08.680 --> 01:17:11.880
a deal. Yes, say you came from Los Angeles. Yes,

1450
01:17:12.319 --> 01:17:15.119
you're a funny acting fellow. Jacobs, a little too quiet

1451
01:17:15.159 --> 01:17:18.159
for my likes. Don't talk much. Just won't happened in

1452
01:17:18.239 --> 01:17:18.800
Los Angeles?

1453
01:17:19.079 --> 01:17:19.960
Oh what do you mean?

1454
01:17:20.319 --> 01:17:22.560
You said you came here for your health. If it's

1455
01:17:22.640 --> 01:17:25.520
long trouble, as you said, then why didn't you cough any?

1456
01:17:25.760 --> 01:17:25.960
Oh?

1457
01:17:26.119 --> 01:17:29.920
Well you see, yeah, got any identification on your jacobs?

1458
01:17:30.000 --> 01:17:30.119
Oh?

1459
01:17:30.199 --> 01:17:32.279
Yes, yes, of course like to say it if you

1460
01:17:32.319 --> 01:17:38.840
don't mind. There you were, Hm, Harry Jacobs, New York City,

1461
01:17:39.600 --> 01:17:42.239
New Yorky. But you said los Angeles.

1462
01:17:42.359 --> 01:17:44.560
But I came from New York to Los Angeles. I

1463
01:17:44.800 --> 01:17:46.119
wasn't even California very long.

1464
01:17:46.319 --> 01:17:48.159
And you got plenty of cash?

1465
01:17:48.479 --> 01:17:48.560
Oh?

1466
01:17:48.680 --> 01:17:50.600
Yes, yes? Or not? How much do you want?

1467
01:17:51.279 --> 01:17:51.479
Oh?

1468
01:17:52.920 --> 01:17:53.560
Three thousand?

1469
01:17:53.600 --> 01:17:55.119
All doing three?

1470
01:17:56.119 --> 01:17:58.359
That seemed like a large price for this place.

1471
01:17:58.680 --> 01:18:00.479
You want to, don't you? Jacobs? Real bad?

1472
01:18:00.680 --> 01:18:03.359
Yes, yes, I'd like to have it, all right?

1473
01:18:04.359 --> 01:18:06.119
You and Meal drive into town in the morning. Had

1474
01:18:06.159 --> 01:18:07.199
the lawyer drop the papers?

1475
01:18:07.640 --> 01:18:10.960
Yes, all right, yes, Well, I think I'll go to

1476
01:18:11.000 --> 01:18:16.000
bed now. It's a bit late, so good night. How

1477
01:18:16.039 --> 01:18:18.279
do you think Steve he's got the cash with him?

1478
01:18:18.520 --> 01:18:19.920
This place ain't worth three times?

1479
01:18:20.079 --> 01:18:22.760
No, But if he's got that much, and he's got

1480
01:18:22.760 --> 01:18:23.159
a lot.

1481
01:18:23.079 --> 01:18:28.399
More, shall we Well I could slip into No.

1482
01:18:29.760 --> 01:18:30.840
Just leave everything to me.

1483
01:18:37.119 --> 01:18:41.479
But Milton doesn't sleep well. The strange attitude of Rogers

1484
01:18:41.560 --> 01:18:44.600
and his wife makes him uneasy. Next morning, he is

1485
01:18:44.680 --> 01:18:46.800
up at eight and finds Kate Rodgers in the kitchen.

1486
01:18:47.840 --> 01:18:53.520
Oh, good morning, missus Rogers. Good morning, is mister Rogers?

1487
01:18:53.840 --> 01:18:56.880
Why he drove into town to get the lawyer. He

1488
01:18:57.399 --> 01:19:00.960
didn't want to disturb you so early. What he's gonna

1489
01:19:00.960 --> 01:19:03.119
have the papers made out and bring them back with him.

1490
01:19:03.680 --> 01:19:05.920
Well, I thought he couldn't dry well.

1491
01:19:06.720 --> 01:19:09.199
His arms so much better. He figured he'd be all right.

1492
01:19:10.000 --> 01:19:10.880
How soon will he be back?

1493
01:19:10.880 --> 01:19:13.880
It should have been your half hour ago, nine o'clock. Well,

1494
01:19:13.920 --> 01:19:15.880
there he is now, how about some breakfast?

1495
01:19:16.079 --> 01:19:16.239
Yes?

1496
01:19:16.359 --> 01:19:20.960
Yes, so yeah Jacobs?

1497
01:19:21.079 --> 01:19:23.159
Yes, did you get the papers or rings?

1498
01:19:23.239 --> 01:19:25.119
Well, you don't have to sign any papers, Jacobs.

1499
01:19:25.359 --> 01:19:26.520
I won't be selling the place.

1500
01:19:26.960 --> 01:19:27.279
Why not?

1501
01:19:27.640 --> 01:19:28.239
I don't have to.

1502
01:19:28.560 --> 01:19:30.239
I'll have all the money I need in a few days.

1503
01:19:30.279 --> 01:19:32.640
But you said that I haven't been to any lawyers.

1504
01:19:32.960 --> 01:19:35.199
I've been to the sheriff's office. Sent a wire to

1505
01:19:35.279 --> 01:19:37.199
New York and I got an answer.

1506
01:19:37.439 --> 01:19:38.720
What a wire?

1507
01:19:39.800 --> 01:19:41.239
Put up your hands, Jacobs, Put him up.

1508
01:19:41.880 --> 01:19:43.840
You may be a mile looking little guy, but I'm

1509
01:19:43.880 --> 01:19:45.159
taking no chances with the killer.

1510
01:19:45.760 --> 01:19:46.399
What did you say?

1511
01:19:46.560 --> 01:19:48.720
You want to buy the New York place for banaitry murder?

1512
01:19:48.800 --> 01:19:50.680
Oh, it's a mistake.

1513
01:19:50.760 --> 01:19:51.479
It's a telegram.

1514
01:19:51.680 --> 01:19:53.399
Your description rated.

1515
01:19:53.479 --> 01:19:57.680
Yes, Harry Jacobs forty five five feet six as per

1516
01:19:57.760 --> 01:20:01.640
your description, wanted for a robbery and murderer.

1517
01:20:02.039 --> 01:20:04.800
I'll bank Messenger ten thousand dollars reward?

1518
01:20:05.520 --> 01:20:07.720
Did or lie ten thousand dollars reward?

1519
01:20:07.760 --> 01:20:07.960
Get that?

1520
01:20:08.279 --> 01:20:09.960
I don't know. Tell the mistake. You don't understand.

1521
01:20:09.960 --> 01:20:12.279
I understand all right. You and your partner came out

1522
01:20:12.319 --> 01:20:14.760
here to hide out, probably robbed a half dozen banks

1523
01:20:14.760 --> 01:20:15.079
in the way.

1524
01:20:15.199 --> 01:20:16.399
Pard What partner fellow?

1525
01:20:16.399 --> 01:20:16.760
We burried?

1526
01:20:16.800 --> 01:20:20.159
The other day at Milton Strong the sheriff said there

1527
01:20:20.239 --> 01:20:22.600
must have been two benutes and that was only ten

1528
01:20:22.680 --> 01:20:25.119
thousand on him. What become of the other ten thousand?

1529
01:20:25.239 --> 01:20:25.439
To you?

1530
01:20:25.640 --> 01:20:26.840
I had nothing to do with the hold up.

1531
01:20:26.920 --> 01:20:29.920
You carry too much cash on you, Jacobs. If you've

1532
01:20:29.960 --> 01:20:32.600
got three thousand, you must have more. You were too

1533
01:20:32.720 --> 01:20:34.800
anxious to get this place, and it ain't worth more.

1534
01:20:34.760 --> 01:20:35.279
Than a thousand.

1535
01:20:35.319 --> 01:20:36.399
It's but you're wrong, Rogers.

1536
01:20:36.479 --> 01:20:38.039
You're going back to time with me, Jacobs.

1537
01:20:38.319 --> 01:20:40.119
I'm collecting that ten thousand rewards.

1538
01:20:40.119 --> 01:20:42.159
No, no, no, please don't take me back. I can't

1539
01:20:42.199 --> 01:20:42.840
go back to New York.

1540
01:20:42.840 --> 01:20:43.199
I can't.

1541
01:20:43.439 --> 01:20:45.520
I can imagine that, fell Fryer.

1542
01:20:45.800 --> 01:20:47.439
You've got to listen to me. You've just got to

1543
01:20:47.600 --> 01:20:48.439
start your stuff, Kate.

1544
01:20:48.600 --> 01:20:49.600
He's got the money some place.

1545
01:20:49.680 --> 01:20:53.159
Wait, I've got the money and here it is the

1546
01:20:53.239 --> 01:20:53.920
money from the bank.

1547
01:20:54.640 --> 01:20:56.960
There jee the.

1548
01:20:57.000 --> 01:21:02.479
Same bank wrappers. Yeah, thousand, No, there's more another.

1549
01:21:02.880 --> 01:21:04.560
The ten thousand of the rappers belongs to the bank.

1550
01:21:04.760 --> 01:21:05.479
The rest is mine.

1551
01:21:05.560 --> 01:21:06.319
That's all we need to know.

1552
01:21:06.479 --> 01:21:09.720
Jacobs, Come on, and I hope the sheriff don't spill

1553
01:21:09.760 --> 01:21:11.880
this before you're locked up. The town would tear you

1554
01:21:11.960 --> 01:21:12.239
the pace.

1555
01:21:12.319 --> 01:21:14.560
Look, look, just listen to me. I swear I never

1556
01:21:14.600 --> 01:21:16.399
saw that dead man in my life. I did come

1557
01:21:16.439 --> 01:21:19.680
here to get away from embarrassing circumstances. I wanted to

1558
01:21:19.720 --> 01:21:22.279
lose myself. After you went for the sheriff, I searched

1559
01:21:22.319 --> 01:21:25.399
the man's pockets. I found his identification, and because he

1560
01:21:25.479 --> 01:21:27.880
resembled me, I switched his papers with mine.

1561
01:21:28.199 --> 01:21:30.800
And then then I found the money. I decided to

1562
01:21:30.880 --> 01:21:33.039
keep some of it. I am Milton Strong and the

1563
01:21:33.119 --> 01:21:34.319
dead man was Harry Jacobs.

1564
01:21:34.479 --> 01:21:35.159
What a story.

1565
01:21:35.520 --> 01:21:37.359
Don't believe that. Don't send it back at the York.

1566
01:21:37.439 --> 01:21:38.319
There's no reward for me.

1567
01:21:38.359 --> 01:21:39.640
The troop would come out and you wouldn't get a

1568
01:21:39.720 --> 01:21:41.720
dime down here. You keep this money I took from

1569
01:21:41.760 --> 01:21:43.279
the robber and let me go. You don't want to

1570
01:21:43.319 --> 01:21:44.079
live know the difference?

1571
01:21:44.199 --> 01:21:45.800
Oh no, I'm not that dumb.

1572
01:21:46.439 --> 01:21:48.560
I'll turn you and the money in and collect a reward.

1573
01:21:48.920 --> 01:21:50.079
I'd rather get it legally.

1574
01:21:50.800 --> 01:21:53.159
Come on, Jacobs. Before the town gets wise.

1575
01:22:00.039 --> 01:22:02.239
Milton is handed over to the sheriff and locked up

1576
01:22:02.279 --> 01:22:05.159
in the flimsy jail. They have wired New York and

1577
01:22:05.239 --> 01:22:09.479
a detective with extradition papers is flying west. But unfortunately,

1578
01:22:09.600 --> 01:22:12.239
the word has gotten around town that the jail holds

1579
01:22:12.279 --> 01:22:15.319
the murderer of the bank cashier. A crowd of men

1580
01:22:15.640 --> 01:22:18.199
silent man has gathered in the front of the jail.

1581
01:22:19.319 --> 01:22:21.279
I don't know what we're gonna do about this, Rogers.

1582
01:22:21.880 --> 01:22:23.720
Are you sure you didn't say anything about it. I

1583
01:22:23.800 --> 01:22:24.600
didn't say a word.

1584
01:22:25.239 --> 01:22:26.800
I don't know how they found out about it, but

1585
01:22:27.399 --> 01:22:28.920
maybe some of your deputies talk.

1586
01:22:29.119 --> 01:22:32.279
I warned not to say a word that online. Crowds

1587
01:22:32.279 --> 01:22:35.479
have shot and yell, and I'm afraid of the crowd

1588
01:22:35.520 --> 01:22:37.880
that just stands and says nothing. A sure in the

1589
01:22:37.960 --> 01:22:41.479
wallpan and detective from New York should have been here

1590
01:22:41.520 --> 01:22:44.239
an hour ago. I sent the car to meet the plane.

1591
01:22:44.279 --> 01:22:45.239
Maybe the plane was late.

1592
01:22:45.439 --> 01:22:49.159
Yeah, Well, if the crowd starts anything, somebody's gonna get hurt. Hey,

1593
01:22:49.239 --> 01:22:51.439
you fellows better get your shotguns ready. They might break

1594
01:22:51.439 --> 01:22:54.880
out any minute now Jacob has got any more to say.

1595
01:22:55.000 --> 01:22:58.119
I've told you that I'm Milton Strong. I had nothing

1596
01:22:58.159 --> 01:22:59.359
to do with the bank hold up.

1597
01:23:00.039 --> 01:23:01.840
Crowd looks surly, so I guess I better put you

1598
01:23:01.920 --> 01:23:02.520
back in this cell.

1599
01:23:03.359 --> 01:23:04.880
Wait a minute, here comes your cash.

1600
01:23:05.000 --> 01:23:07.800
Errif it's about time, go out and tell Jacob driver

1601
01:23:07.920 --> 01:23:09.520
to stay around the back of the jail and stay

1602
01:23:09.560 --> 01:23:11.720
in the car. Don't let that crowd and know what

1603
01:23:11.800 --> 01:23:16.079
he's doing, right, Tarriff, I get you sure, Tell me

1604
01:23:16.359 --> 01:23:18.000
that's right. And I'm mighty glad to see you.

1605
01:23:19.239 --> 01:23:19.840
Yeah, I know, I know.

1606
01:23:20.199 --> 01:23:22.479
Let's get out of business, and crowd outside is going

1607
01:23:22.520 --> 01:23:23.840
to get him. Patience pretty soon.

1608
01:23:23.840 --> 01:23:25.079
Kah, what do they want?

1609
01:23:25.560 --> 01:23:26.720
What they call justice?

1610
01:23:27.119 --> 01:23:27.800
This fellow here.

1611
01:23:27.800 --> 01:23:30.000
Held up the bank and killed the cash here, But

1612
01:23:30.119 --> 01:23:32.359
I wanted to be sure he was Harry Jacobs. He

1613
01:23:32.479 --> 01:23:35.079
had identification on him. But he claims he's melting strong.

1614
01:23:35.600 --> 01:23:36.399
Milton was strong.

1615
01:23:36.680 --> 01:23:36.920
Yeah.

1616
01:23:37.520 --> 01:23:40.800
We buried Milton Strong several days ago. He found part

1617
01:23:40.840 --> 01:23:44.039
of the bank money on his body. Milton's strong, yeah,

1618
01:23:44.840 --> 01:23:46.960
But if he's really Harry Jacobs, I'd prefer to get

1619
01:23:47.039 --> 01:23:48.119
him out of here and deal with him.

1620
01:23:48.119 --> 01:23:48.600
In New York.

1621
01:23:49.199 --> 01:23:51.520
I had one Lynchon here and I don't want another.

1622
01:23:51.680 --> 01:23:54.720
But he isn't Harry Jacobs. I knew Harry personally. He

1623
01:23:54.760 --> 01:23:55.640
ain't Harry Jacobs.

1624
01:23:55.680 --> 01:23:59.000
No, but he is Milton Strong. Harry Jacobs was a

1625
01:23:59.079 --> 01:24:01.279
professional hold up, but not Milton Strong.

1626
01:24:01.479 --> 01:24:04.279
And we really buried Harry Jacobs. What do you mean?

1627
01:24:05.039 --> 01:24:06.880
I took this fellow to my claim with the idea

1628
01:24:06.920 --> 01:24:08.920
of selling it to him. Yeah, we found a dead

1629
01:24:08.960 --> 01:24:11.399
man in my cabin. I came after the sheriff. And

1630
01:24:11.600 --> 01:24:13.760
this fellow claims that while we were going to exchange

1631
01:24:13.800 --> 01:24:14.640
papers to the dead man.

1632
01:24:14.760 --> 01:24:17.079
Well, from all appearances, that's just what he did. But

1633
01:24:17.159 --> 01:24:20.520
why should he do that? Wow, Milton Strong is wanted

1634
01:24:20.560 --> 01:24:21.239
in New York too.

1635
01:24:22.359 --> 01:24:24.560
I'm wanted in New York. What for?

1636
01:24:25.199 --> 01:24:27.640
As if you didn't know? Oh, what's he done?

1637
01:24:27.720 --> 01:24:28.439
What she wanted for?

1638
01:24:28.840 --> 01:24:30.079
Hey? Hed crowd is starting.

1639
01:24:30.119 --> 01:24:32.239
Get him out of here. Hurry at the back way.

1640
01:24:32.159 --> 01:24:33.479
The car's waiting. Let's go out.

1641
01:24:33.680 --> 01:24:35.600
You can't catch eleven pretty train. I'll sell him off

1642
01:24:35.640 --> 01:24:36.399
as long as they can.

1643
01:24:41.239 --> 01:24:42.520
All the way back to New York.

1644
01:24:42.600 --> 01:24:44.159
Lieutenant Clark will not talk.

1645
01:24:44.800 --> 01:24:48.000
They ride across the country in utter silence and three

1646
01:24:48.079 --> 01:24:50.880
days later, Milton sits in the office of Inspector Burns

1647
01:24:50.920 --> 01:24:51.920
of the New York Police.

1648
01:24:53.840 --> 01:24:56.640
Milton, on the morning of July twentieth, did you catch

1649
01:24:56.680 --> 01:24:58.640
your check at a bank at twenty first in Lexington?

1650
01:24:59.399 --> 01:25:01.760
Yes, I did, a check made out to you by

1651
01:25:01.880 --> 01:25:02.319
your wife.

1652
01:25:02.520 --> 01:25:06.760
Yes. Are you sure your wife wrote that check? Well, yes,

1653
01:25:06.920 --> 01:25:07.439
yes she did.

1654
01:25:07.960 --> 01:25:09.840
Why did you leave town the same day?

1655
01:25:09.960 --> 01:25:12.600
Well? I went on a vacation. Why didn't your wife

1656
01:25:12.640 --> 01:25:16.680
go with him? Why? Because I wanted to be alone?

1657
01:25:17.079 --> 01:25:19.199
That is, you might as well tell the truth, Meltain.

1658
01:25:19.720 --> 01:25:25.279
You haven't a chance to get out of it. I didn't, Sorry, Milton.

1659
01:25:25.800 --> 01:25:26.560
We have proof.

1660
01:25:27.039 --> 01:25:30.800
We have a witness, a witness, Yes, bring in.

1661
01:25:30.840 --> 01:25:32.960
The witness, Lieutenant, come in.

1662
01:25:33.079 --> 01:25:33.399
Please?

1663
01:25:37.079 --> 01:25:38.359
Where have you been, Milton?

1664
01:25:39.239 --> 01:25:39.640
Martha?

1665
01:25:40.039 --> 01:25:41.399
Why didn't you let me know where you were?

1666
01:25:41.720 --> 01:25:41.960
Please?

1667
01:25:42.039 --> 01:25:42.279
Please?

1668
01:25:42.359 --> 01:25:43.720
Mother, let's talk about it here.

1669
01:25:43.720 --> 01:25:44.840
What are you doing in Arizona?

1670
01:25:44.960 --> 01:25:46.880
I was just taking a little vacation. I was gonna

1671
01:25:46.880 --> 01:25:48.279
write you. I tried to buy a cabin in the

1672
01:25:48.319 --> 01:25:51.560
mountains for you and me, Martha, for us.

1673
01:25:52.399 --> 01:25:54.880
What don't you dare at that tide?

1674
01:25:55.159 --> 01:25:55.199
No?

1675
01:25:55.279 --> 01:25:58.640
No, no, mother, I've quit smoking. I wasn't even conscious of.

1676
01:25:58.640 --> 01:25:59.840
What I was doing And what are you doing that?

1677
01:26:00.479 --> 01:26:01.119
You know what's raining?

1678
01:26:01.199 --> 01:26:02.600
And I took them off outside Martha.

1679
01:26:03.640 --> 01:26:05.039
Come on, Milton, let's go home.

1680
01:26:05.680 --> 01:26:09.239
I have a few things to talk over with you. Yes, God, well,

1681
01:26:09.439 --> 01:26:10.840
come on, get up out of that chair.

1682
01:26:11.600 --> 01:26:12.479
Yes, yes, done.

1683
01:26:12.760 --> 01:26:13.319
Just a minute.

1684
01:26:13.640 --> 01:26:14.680
What about this charge?

1685
01:26:14.760 --> 01:26:15.720
This check forgery?

1686
01:26:16.279 --> 01:26:16.760
Forgery?

1687
01:26:17.880 --> 01:26:20.680
Oh, I wrote that check. I remember the whole thing.

1688
01:26:20.800 --> 01:26:20.920
Now.

1689
01:26:21.039 --> 01:26:22.560
Then what about the charge of white desertion?

1690
01:26:22.760 --> 01:26:23.720
He's come back, hasn't he?

1691
01:26:23.880 --> 01:26:24.880
But we brought him back.

1692
01:26:26.600 --> 01:26:28.920
I wrote the check so you can make a down

1693
01:26:29.000 --> 01:26:31.800
payment on a house. But like a child, he is.

1694
01:26:31.920 --> 01:26:34.319
He he wanted to take a trip and hunt gold.

1695
01:26:35.199 --> 01:26:40.279
He's always been a a adventuresome sore. Well, go on, Milton,

1696
01:26:40.359 --> 01:26:42.800
get along, and if a dare like that dirty pipe,

1697
01:26:42.800 --> 01:26:43.760
I'll shake your head off.

1698
01:26:44.079 --> 01:26:51.000
Go on, go on, Yes, done, a good day, gentlemen.

1699
01:26:55.720 --> 01:26:58.680
Well it just goes to show you that no man

1700
01:26:58.800 --> 01:27:02.800
can escape his destiny, no man can change faith, and

1701
01:27:02.880 --> 01:27:05.079
when he attempts to do so, he only conjures up

1702
01:27:05.159 --> 01:27:09.479
far worse conditions for himself. Poor Milton Strong ran away

1703
01:27:09.520 --> 01:27:12.279
from things and ended up at the starting point back

1704
01:27:12.399 --> 01:27:12.920
with Martha.

1705
01:27:13.760 --> 01:27:14.640
But he's happy now.

1706
01:27:15.239 --> 01:27:18.600
Martha's nagging is now sweet music to his ears because

1707
01:27:18.680 --> 01:27:19.920
Martha really loves him.

1708
01:27:20.640 --> 01:27:21.119
Out West.

1709
01:27:21.119 --> 01:27:24.000
They almost sledged him, nearly took his freedom away, but

1710
01:27:24.159 --> 01:27:26.479
Martha saved him. She lied for him.

1711
01:27:27.119 --> 01:27:28.880
Yes, Milton did forge that check.

1712
01:27:28.960 --> 01:27:31.279
He was even going to kill Martha, but he got

1713
01:27:31.359 --> 01:27:34.000
cold feet the moment he walked into a room. But

1714
01:27:34.159 --> 01:27:36.840
Milton will be a good boy now. In his search

1715
01:27:36.920 --> 01:27:40.000
for so called freedom, he came close to the jaws

1716
01:27:40.039 --> 01:27:40.479
of death.

1717
01:27:41.399 --> 01:27:42.640
Lucky Milton.

1718
01:28:05.880 --> 01:28:16.000
ZBS has presented The Whistler. Original music for this production

1719
01:28:16.199 --> 01:28:19.439
was composed by Wilbur Hatch and conducted by Ivan Ditmars.

1720
01:28:19.760 --> 01:28:22.399
The Whistler has written and directed by Jay Donald Wilson

1721
01:28:22.479 --> 01:28:28.479
and originates from Columbia Square in Hollywood. Next week, same time, I.

1722
01:28:28.880 --> 01:28:32.399
The Whistler will return to tell you another unusual story.

1723
01:28:33.319 --> 01:28:33.800
Good night.

1724
01:28:37.119 --> 01:28:40.239
This is CBS, the Columbia Broadcasting System.

1725
01:29:04.000 --> 01:29:09.199
My dear, you do seem a bit on edge, although

1726
01:29:09.279 --> 01:29:17.920
I suppose that is the that's the goal. Not everything

1727
01:29:18.119 --> 01:29:24.720
is as it seems all the time, and not just misinterpreted,

1728
01:29:24.840 --> 01:29:34.359
but malicious too, whether it's a sunny day full of

1729
01:29:34.520 --> 01:29:42.800
hope possibility, or perhaps it's just your lover's eyes or

1730
01:29:42.960 --> 01:29:48.000
something as rudimentary as Uncle Henry's Rose Bush.

1731
01:30:00.119 --> 01:30:00.880
Suspense.

1732
01:30:06.239 --> 01:30:09.399
This is the Man in Black here again to introduce

1733
01:30:09.479 --> 01:30:14.560
Columbia's program Suspense, Our starring Hollywood cast of characters, reads

1734
01:30:14.560 --> 01:30:15.119
as follows.

1735
01:30:15.159 --> 01:30:18.159
For Tonight as Aunt Julie, one of those.

1736
01:30:18.079 --> 01:30:21.159
Stark, severe and terrifying women who has encountered ever so

1737
01:30:21.279 --> 01:30:25.159
often along the grimmer outposts of the American countryside. Miss

1738
01:30:25.239 --> 01:30:29.079
Agnes Moorehead as Carol Lindon, the girl who returned to

1739
01:30:29.119 --> 01:30:32.439
a scene of childhood happiness and found terror living in

1740
01:30:32.520 --> 01:30:36.800
the house. Miss Ellen Drew as Paul Carroll's husband, who

1741
01:30:36.840 --> 01:30:39.680
had his own ideas as to the explanation of these

1742
01:30:39.720 --> 01:30:40.439
strange events.

1743
01:30:40.840 --> 01:30:43.239
Mister Ted reed a first.

1744
01:30:43.119 --> 01:30:47.039
Radio play by Larry Roman called Uncle Henry's Rosebush is

1745
01:30:47.119 --> 01:30:51.359
Tonight's tale of suspense. If you have been with us before,

1746
01:30:51.880 --> 01:30:54.520
you will know that suspense is compounded of mystery and

1747
01:30:54.600 --> 01:30:59.600
suspicion and dangerous adventure. In this series are tales calculated

1748
01:30:59.680 --> 01:31:03.039
to to stir your nerves, to offer you up a

1749
01:31:03.079 --> 01:31:06.600
carrious situation and then withhold a solution until the last

1750
01:31:06.760 --> 01:31:10.239
possible move. And so it is with Uncle Henry's Rosebush

1751
01:31:10.479 --> 01:31:13.359
and the performances of Agnes Moorehead is Aunt Julie, Hell

1752
01:31:13.399 --> 01:31:14.920
and Drew as cattle and ted riders.

1753
01:31:15.000 --> 01:31:18.880
Paul, we again hope to keep you in suspense.

1754
01:31:28.640 --> 01:31:30.720
I shall tell you the story exactly as it happened.

1755
01:31:31.119 --> 01:31:34.920
There's no use pretending. I'll never forget, and I know

1756
01:31:35.159 --> 01:31:38.439
I'll not awake and find it all a dream. It's real,

1757
01:31:39.039 --> 01:31:41.079
and for the rest of my life I shall know

1758
01:31:41.199 --> 01:31:49.920
it's real. Paul was to have his first vacation since

1759
01:31:49.960 --> 01:31:52.920
we were married. I suggested we visit my aunt Julie

1760
01:31:52.920 --> 01:31:55.760
and uncle Henry, who had a small farm upstate. They

1761
01:31:55.800 --> 01:31:58.159
had always been very kind to me when I was

1762
01:31:58.199 --> 01:32:00.640
a child. I used to spend my summer vacation with him.

1763
01:32:01.119 --> 01:32:04.000
They love children. I've often wondered why they never had

1764
01:32:04.039 --> 01:32:06.680
any of their own. Some time ago I had lost

1765
01:32:06.720 --> 01:32:09.479
track of them. They had never seen Paul, and I

1766
01:32:09.640 --> 01:32:12.359
was certain they'd like to. Paul said it would be fine,

1767
01:32:13.000 --> 01:32:16.279
we'll surprise them. I thought we were the ones who

1768
01:32:16.319 --> 01:32:17.119
were surprised.

1769
01:32:17.359 --> 01:32:17.600
Ah.

1770
01:32:27.199 --> 01:32:29.920
Just a few more miles, Paul. Remember this road we

1771
01:32:30.079 --> 01:32:31.680
used to hike along it going to the village.

1772
01:32:31.800 --> 01:32:31.960
Ah.

1773
01:32:32.039 --> 01:32:35.720
This country air is wonderful. Two weeks of green grass

1774
01:32:35.800 --> 01:32:38.439
and wicker chairs. I can't think of anything better.

1775
01:32:38.720 --> 01:32:41.560
How you love Aunt Julian and Akuld Henry. They live alone,

1776
01:32:41.760 --> 01:32:44.520
quiet and peaceful. Be quite a change from the city.

1777
01:32:44.760 --> 01:32:47.720
Yes, now they must be happy together how they are,

1778
01:32:47.840 --> 01:32:51.439
But they're lonely. Smooth lawns and orchards and flowers.

1779
01:32:51.920 --> 01:32:55.119
Uncle Henry planted huge rose bushes around the porch. Every

1780
01:32:55.199 --> 01:32:56.640
night as I crawl in the bed. He used to

1781
01:32:56.680 --> 01:32:58.880
bring me a road. They're his favorite flowers.

1782
01:32:58.920 --> 01:33:00.520
Ah, vacation, Here we come.

1783
01:33:00.840 --> 01:33:01.960
Come on, Carl, let's go.

1784
01:33:11.760 --> 01:33:13.079
Just around the ben Here we go.

1785
01:33:19.359 --> 01:33:26.359
There it, answer, Carol, Look by, Paul. Are you sure

1786
01:33:26.439 --> 01:33:27.079
this is the place?

1787
01:33:27.319 --> 01:33:30.439
Yes? But all the weeds and the broken shutters looks

1788
01:33:30.479 --> 01:33:32.920
as though it's been neglected for months. I don't understand.

1789
01:33:33.600 --> 01:33:34.680
Perhaps it's deserted.

1790
01:33:35.279 --> 01:33:36.560
Chancey it's their home.

1791
01:33:37.640 --> 01:33:46.760
Oh, come on, let's go up and see. The dirt

1792
01:33:46.840 --> 01:33:54.720
on this porch must be an inch thick. No answer,

1793
01:33:55.520 --> 01:33:56.079
nobody here.

1794
01:33:56.359 --> 01:33:58.159
Look Paul. Over there at the end of the porch,

1795
01:33:58.520 --> 01:34:01.279
the rose bush. Uncle Henry's rose bush.

1796
01:34:02.159 --> 01:34:05.279
Why it's trimmed and neat. It's the only thing that

1797
01:34:05.359 --> 01:34:06.479
seems to be taken care of.

1798
01:34:06.800 --> 01:34:09.479
Then somebody must be here. Maybe they can tell us

1799
01:34:09.520 --> 01:34:12.319
what happened to Aunt Julie and Uncle Henry. Knock again,

1800
01:34:15.840 --> 01:34:23.039
someone's coming. Well, we're looking for a mister and missus Connors.

1801
01:34:23.279 --> 01:34:27.960
They used to live. Why, Aunt Julie, I didn't recognize you,

1802
01:34:29.159 --> 01:34:33.840
but it's me and Julie. It's Carol. I wasn't expecting

1803
01:34:33.920 --> 01:34:37.960
you of Paul's vacation. We thought we'd spend it here. Well,

1804
01:34:38.000 --> 01:34:41.119
you've been asking for us for years. This is Paul,

1805
01:34:41.279 --> 01:34:42.960
my husband so much.

1806
01:34:43.000 --> 01:34:43.720
Why did you come?

1807
01:34:44.079 --> 01:34:48.279
What I said? Why did you come? Aren't you glad

1808
01:34:48.279 --> 01:34:53.640
to see us and Julie? Something's happened. Nothing's happened, but

1809
01:34:53.760 --> 01:34:54.079
it did.

1810
01:34:54.439 --> 01:34:54.720
Tell me.

1811
01:34:54.760 --> 01:34:57.720
Aunt Julie will help, of course? Will you shouldn't have come.

1812
01:34:58.279 --> 01:35:00.840
Well, Carol, if she doesn't want us, let's no Paul.

1813
01:35:02.000 --> 01:35:04.960
This isn't like you, Aunt Julie. Something dreadful has happened.

1814
01:35:05.000 --> 01:35:05.199
I know.

1815
01:35:05.439 --> 01:35:08.119
Oh Carol, please go listen. If it's money, Aunt Julie,

1816
01:35:08.279 --> 01:35:10.680
well we haven't got too much, but you're welcome to me.

1817
01:35:10.760 --> 01:35:13.720
I tell you nothing's wrong, but there must be this house.

1818
01:35:13.800 --> 01:35:16.319
You're her husband. I'm asking you to take her and

1819
01:35:16.359 --> 01:35:16.800
go away.

1820
01:35:17.239 --> 01:35:20.880
Oh come on, Carol, we're not wanted. Let's go.

1821
01:35:21.199 --> 01:35:22.039
We're going to stay.

1822
01:35:23.279 --> 01:35:26.159
Well, there you are. She's your niece, and you know

1823
01:35:26.239 --> 01:35:27.199
how stubborn she can be.

1824
01:35:27.439 --> 01:35:33.960
We're going to stay. Where's Uncle Henry? I say, where's

1825
01:35:34.039 --> 01:35:37.920
Uncle Henry? He's not here. But where he's not here

1826
01:35:38.000 --> 01:35:41.159
isn't not enough. He's there, he won't be Julie.

1827
01:35:46.520 --> 01:35:46.800
I kno.

1828
01:35:47.000 --> 01:35:50.159
They'd bewildered, and Julie had run out of the room.

1829
01:35:50.760 --> 01:35:54.640
Perhaps she was crying. I don't know. I just knew

1830
01:35:54.680 --> 01:35:58.960
that Uncle Henry was gone, he had left her. It

1831
01:35:59.079 --> 01:36:04.000
seemed strangely impossible. It had always been so happy, so

1832
01:36:04.199 --> 01:36:07.199
supremely happy, that it seemed that the only thing that

1833
01:36:07.319 --> 01:36:15.000
could separate them on this earth was death. Yeah, and

1834
01:36:15.119 --> 01:36:18.800
now this, I couldn't believe it. Paul and I walked

1835
01:36:18.840 --> 01:36:21.880
into the living room was almost as dusty as the outside.

1836
01:36:22.560 --> 01:36:25.800
The curtains were dirty, the floor littered with old newspapers.

1837
01:36:26.600 --> 01:36:29.319
The entire room showed the same signs and neglect as

1838
01:36:29.359 --> 01:36:33.119
the outside. And when I recalled how neat aunt Julie

1839
01:36:33.119 --> 01:36:36.079
had always been with her housework, Oh, a feeling of

1840
01:36:36.279 --> 01:36:41.239
apprehension crawled up my back. Frankly, I was fright frightfully worried,

1841
01:36:41.319 --> 01:36:43.800
and I could tell by the look on Paul's face

1842
01:36:43.840 --> 01:36:47.399
that he was worried too. I don't like it, Paul,

1843
01:36:48.000 --> 01:36:49.159
or something strange here.

1844
01:36:49.560 --> 01:36:52.560
Yeah, I never saw a house in such a mission.

1845
01:36:52.560 --> 01:36:55.319
It's not just the house. It's more than that, something

1846
01:36:55.439 --> 01:36:56.880
much more. I'm sure of it.

1847
01:36:57.199 --> 01:36:59.479
Well, really, Carol, it's none of our business, don't you.

1848
01:37:00.159 --> 01:37:02.920
Perhaps not, But you don't know Aunt Julie like I do.

1849
01:37:03.560 --> 01:37:06.079
She'd never ask for help, no matter how much she

1850
01:37:06.159 --> 01:37:09.359
needed it. I'm just not trying, Paul.

1851
01:37:09.840 --> 01:37:10.760
I suppose you're right.

1852
01:37:11.279 --> 01:37:13.159
They've always been so kind to me. I've got to

1853
01:37:13.239 --> 01:37:13.680
help them.

1854
01:37:14.279 --> 01:37:17.439
How can we, Carol, We don't even know what's wrong.

1855
01:37:17.800 --> 01:37:21.199
They were always so happy together. Somehow, I can't believe

1856
01:37:21.199 --> 01:37:26.000
they've broken up. Something else has happened, something terrible, and

1857
01:37:26.079 --> 01:37:27.760
I'm going to stay till I find out what.

1858
01:37:28.920 --> 01:37:30.960
Well, in that case, we better find a place to sleep.

1859
01:37:31.159 --> 01:37:32.439
All the bedrooms are upstairs.

1860
01:37:32.720 --> 01:37:39.159
Come on, right, Well, look at the dust on the banister.

1861
01:37:40.000 --> 01:37:43.119
I bet this place hasn't been cleaned in a month, Paul, Eh,

1862
01:37:43.800 --> 01:37:44.079
did you.

1863
01:37:44.079 --> 01:37:48.359
See the way she looks? Yeah, her face seems completely

1864
01:37:48.479 --> 01:37:52.159
wrinkled with worry. I wonder I didn't recognize her. She

1865
01:37:52.279 --> 01:37:54.800
seems much older and frightened.

1866
01:37:55.560 --> 01:37:57.439
Well, do you think she's ill.

1867
01:37:57.640 --> 01:37:58.119
I don't know.

1868
01:37:58.239 --> 01:37:58.960
I wish I did.

1869
01:38:02.159 --> 01:38:06.880
Look at that hall, gloomy and dirty. Where do these

1870
01:38:06.960 --> 01:38:07.520
doors go to?

1871
01:38:07.880 --> 01:38:10.720
That one's to Aunt Julie's room, and this one's Uncle Henry's.

1872
01:38:11.319 --> 01:38:13.279
I want to cross the way is despair? I guess

1873
01:38:13.319 --> 01:38:13.920
that's ours.

1874
01:38:14.079 --> 01:38:19.880
Well, let's go in. Wow, what a miss.

1875
01:38:20.239 --> 01:38:21.880
Well, might as well get busy cleaning.

1876
01:38:21.960 --> 01:38:24.319
Eh, there's nothing like a good round of house cleaning

1877
01:38:24.399 --> 01:38:26.159
before supper, Paul.

1878
01:38:27.199 --> 01:38:29.399
So long as Uncle Henry's not here, maybe we can

1879
01:38:29.479 --> 01:38:32.039
take his room. It's got an adjoining door to Aunt

1880
01:38:32.119 --> 01:38:34.560
Julie's and in case she needs, this will be near.

1881
01:38:34.760 --> 01:38:36.800
Okay, it doesn't matter to me which room we clean.

1882
01:38:37.199 --> 01:38:37.520
Let's go.

1883
01:38:37.920 --> 01:38:44.119
Yeah, this one over here, well this is Oh, look

1884
01:38:44.239 --> 01:38:46.239
it's all clean and neat.

1885
01:38:47.039 --> 01:38:50.439
We'll all be done. See only clean place in the

1886
01:38:50.479 --> 01:38:51.039
whole house.

1887
01:38:51.279 --> 01:38:55.359
I don't understand. Every room is inches and dirt except

1888
01:38:55.439 --> 01:38:59.560
this one. The outside is completely neglected except the rose bush,

1889
01:39:00.319 --> 01:39:03.800
Uncle Henry's room and Uncle Henry's rose bush. I don't

1890
01:39:03.880 --> 01:39:04.119
get it.

1891
01:39:04.800 --> 01:39:08.199
Well, look on the dresser there, Aunt Julie's picture and

1892
01:39:08.279 --> 01:39:09.279
a pipe and tobacco.

1893
01:39:09.680 --> 01:39:12.039
Why that's Uncle Henry's favorite pipe?

1894
01:39:13.319 --> 01:39:17.560
Sure is full of shirts, socks, underwear. Cal If your

1895
01:39:17.640 --> 01:39:19.000
uncle went away, why did he leave this?

1896
01:39:19.239 --> 01:39:19.359
Oh?

1897
01:39:19.520 --> 01:39:20.880
No strange?

1898
01:39:21.000 --> 01:39:23.279
But what's that paper, Paul?

1899
01:39:23.840 --> 01:39:27.840
Why it looks like it is? And an insurance policy

1900
01:39:28.319 --> 01:39:31.800
for thirty thousand dollars payable to your Aunt Julie in

1901
01:39:31.920 --> 01:39:34.720
case Uncle Henry dies cals is doing here?

1902
01:39:35.279 --> 01:39:37.119
Aunt Julia, what are you doing here?

1903
01:39:37.199 --> 01:39:37.319
Oh?

1904
01:39:37.399 --> 01:39:39.319
We saw that in your hand, and insurance to me.

1905
01:39:39.439 --> 01:39:45.520
But I keep out of this room, a car. I

1906
01:39:45.600 --> 01:39:48.520
didn't know how to take this. Uncle Henry's pipe and

1907
01:39:48.560 --> 01:39:51.199
all his clothes were still in his room, and yet

1908
01:39:52.000 --> 01:39:55.600
Uncle Henry was gone. I couldn't understand why Aunt Julie

1909
01:39:55.640 --> 01:39:58.640
got so angry. I looked to Paul for an explanation.

1910
01:39:59.319 --> 01:40:01.640
I could tell her something on his mind, but I

1911
01:40:01.720 --> 01:40:04.479
didn't dare ask him what it was, and he didn't say.

1912
01:40:06.000 --> 01:40:08.000
After Aunt Julie's outburst, we went back to the spare

1913
01:40:08.079 --> 01:40:10.479
room and cleaned it, and we washed and started downstairs

1914
01:40:10.520 --> 01:40:10.920
for supper.

1915
01:40:13.760 --> 01:40:16.840
Want your step, Carol, he's on the strongest looking stairs.

1916
01:40:18.319 --> 01:40:20.239
What do you make of Julie's behavior?

1917
01:40:20.880 --> 01:40:22.039
Frankly, Carol, I'm worried.

1918
01:40:22.239 --> 01:40:26.680
I'm frightened. As Will admitted, there's something strange that frightens

1919
01:40:26.760 --> 01:40:27.279
me to death.

1920
01:40:28.439 --> 01:40:30.680
I don't think there's anything to be frightened of. It's

1921
01:40:31.000 --> 01:40:34.920
just a yeah, that's the last step the way to

1922
01:40:35.000 --> 01:40:38.520
the kitchen. Right. Oh, as I was saying, I don't

1923
01:40:38.520 --> 01:40:48.239
think there's Wow. That was close. Ves just missed you. Yes,

1924
01:40:48.319 --> 01:40:50.439
and it was a heavy one. What at the top

1925
01:40:50.479 --> 01:40:52.479
of the stairway hit me?

1926
01:40:52.680 --> 01:40:55.359
Yeah, oh, Paul, I'm frightened.

1927
01:40:55.680 --> 01:40:56.600
Coming down the stairs.

1928
01:40:56.960 --> 01:40:57.680
What happened?

1929
01:40:58.119 --> 01:40:59.920
These fell just miss Carroll.

1930
01:41:00.319 --> 01:41:01.319
I don't worry about it.

1931
01:41:01.520 --> 01:41:04.800
I didn't like the vase anywhere the vase? What about Carol?

1932
01:41:04.920 --> 01:41:05.760
She almost got killed?

1933
01:41:06.000 --> 01:41:09.560
Never mind, it was an accident, an accident. We were

1934
01:41:09.640 --> 01:41:12.199
just going in for supper. Aunt Julie, care to join us? Well,

1935
01:41:12.479 --> 01:41:14.920
I come on, Aunt Julie, it'll do you good.

1936
01:41:15.720 --> 01:41:16.399
All right.

1937
01:41:17.960 --> 01:41:21.079
Here, you twist it right down. I'll have something prepared

1938
01:41:21.119 --> 01:41:21.560
in a minute.

1939
01:41:21.880 --> 01:41:23.279
I'm not very hungry.

1940
01:41:24.720 --> 01:41:27.399
Oh nonsense. And Julie, I'll fix something that will make

1941
01:41:27.439 --> 01:41:28.159
your mouth water.

1942
01:41:30.479 --> 01:41:33.279
You know, when when Carol and I get through cleaning

1943
01:41:33.359 --> 01:41:35.239
this place up, it looked just like you.

1944
01:41:36.079 --> 01:41:36.279
Yeah.

1945
01:41:36.840 --> 01:41:39.720
Sure, I think when Carol and I have a family,

1946
01:41:40.319 --> 01:41:44.800
we'll take them to a farm. Really, yes, yes, you

1947
01:41:44.880 --> 01:41:46.840
know this this place would be swell for children?

1948
01:41:47.279 --> 01:41:49.199
Oh what do you mean?

1949
01:41:54.359 --> 01:41:56.920
What did I say? What's the matter?

1950
01:41:57.720 --> 01:42:00.800
What's the matter with Aunt Julie? Where's she going?

1951
01:42:01.000 --> 01:42:03.439
I don't know. I was just trying to make conversations.

1952
01:42:03.560 --> 01:42:06.439
Just talked about children on a farm, that's all, Paul.

1953
01:42:06.479 --> 01:42:07.520
I'm frightfully worried.

1954
01:42:08.039 --> 01:42:09.479
Do you think we ought to call a doctor for

1955
01:42:10.199 --> 01:42:10.680
I don't know.

1956
01:42:11.039 --> 01:42:13.760
We have to do something. She certainly doesn't look too well.

1957
01:42:14.000 --> 01:42:17.880
But maybe she isn't really sick. What do you mean, Well,

1958
01:42:18.560 --> 01:42:21.920
maybe if your uncle Henry did leave her, well, then maybe.

1959
01:42:21.880 --> 01:42:23.800
You mean you mean she still loves him.

1960
01:42:24.520 --> 01:42:29.079
It's possible, but you don't really believe it, Carol, I

1961
01:42:29.159 --> 01:42:32.319
don't know what to believe. I just know something's wrong.

1962
01:42:33.079 --> 01:42:33.359
M h.

1963
01:42:35.680 --> 01:42:38.359
I'm not hungry at Paul, me either.

1964
01:42:39.039 --> 01:42:40.000
Let's go for a walk.

1965
01:42:40.319 --> 01:42:47.520
Maybe we can figure something else. Country so peaceful and

1966
01:42:48.119 --> 01:42:51.600
beautiful in the night. Yes, I wish you could enjoy it,

1967
01:42:52.439 --> 01:42:55.039
but I can. Don't try to fool me. Your first

1968
01:42:55.119 --> 01:42:57.279
vacation in years and you run into this.

1969
01:42:58.279 --> 01:43:03.239
Well, we have to help her, but how we don't

1970
01:43:03.239 --> 01:43:05.439
even know what's wrong. She not only won't tell, but

1971
01:43:06.119 --> 01:43:08.159
you can't get near her long enough to talk. To her.

1972
01:43:08.600 --> 01:43:11.319
Suppose Uncle Henry really did leave her, He may have

1973
01:43:11.399 --> 01:43:12.960
gone off in a huff. That would account for the

1974
01:43:13.039 --> 01:43:16.880
clothes being here perhaps, And suppose she still is in

1975
01:43:16.960 --> 01:43:18.520
love with him, that wunt.

1976
01:43:18.720 --> 01:43:20.520
But even if that's so, could that make her feel

1977
01:43:20.560 --> 01:43:23.920
so badly? Make her act like this, not not talking,

1978
01:43:24.119 --> 01:43:25.479
neglecting everything.

1979
01:43:25.239 --> 01:43:27.479
Everything except his room and his flowers.

1980
01:43:28.159 --> 01:43:28.600
I don't know.

1981
01:43:29.359 --> 01:43:32.319
A woman's love is a strange thing. He left me.

1982
01:43:32.479 --> 01:43:34.000
I don't know what I'd do.

1983
01:43:35.439 --> 01:43:38.039
Well, if that is the case, the thing to do

1984
01:43:38.239 --> 01:43:41.039
is to make her forget. No, I don't imagine it

1985
01:43:41.039 --> 01:43:44.359
would be. But suppose suppose we take her to the

1986
01:43:44.399 --> 01:43:47.239
city with us until she forgets well, we could ask

1987
01:43:47.279 --> 01:43:51.199
her at least. Yeah, yeah, come on, let's go find her.

1988
01:43:54.439 --> 01:43:56.279
I want Do you almost fower?

1989
01:43:57.479 --> 01:44:00.239
I'm all right, let's Paul.

1990
01:44:00.640 --> 01:44:00.760
Look?

1991
01:44:00.760 --> 01:44:01.560
Could I tripped over?

1992
01:44:02.439 --> 01:44:08.479
It's a mound of freshly dug earth. What's that for, Paul, Paul?

1993
01:44:08.520 --> 01:44:14.199
It looks like a grave. Oh, don't be silly, it's

1994
01:44:14.319 --> 01:44:14.520
just a.

1995
01:44:16.560 --> 01:44:16.920
Forget it.

1996
01:44:17.800 --> 01:44:24.520
Come on, let's find at Julie. Paul, forget it. See

1997
01:44:25.560 --> 01:44:26.640
what's that building over there?

1998
01:44:26.880 --> 01:44:29.119
That's a barn. There used to be a swallow cow.

1999
01:44:29.279 --> 01:44:31.800
There with a bell around her neck, and chickens and

2000
01:44:31.920 --> 01:44:33.239
ducks and all sorts of pets.

2001
01:44:33.560 --> 01:44:34.680
This must have been a happy place.

2002
01:44:34.880 --> 01:44:35.239
It was.

2003
01:44:35.680 --> 01:44:40.720
But now, Paul standing by the barn that Julie. Come on,

2004
01:44:40.840 --> 01:44:44.119
Let's ask her now. And Julie, what you doing following me?

2005
01:44:45.000 --> 01:44:45.920
How could you?

2006
01:44:47.680 --> 01:44:47.920
Well?

2007
01:44:49.119 --> 01:44:55.399
It was a nuisance, Oh that Julie. Oh, a cat

2008
01:44:56.760 --> 01:44:57.760
with its neck wrung.

2009
01:45:02.159 --> 01:45:05.359
This was the first indication of Aunt Julie's ruthlessness. It

2010
01:45:05.479 --> 01:45:08.880
seemed so unlike the Aunt Julie that I knew she

2011
01:45:09.079 --> 01:45:12.800
was always kind. There was no mistaking the anger in

2012
01:45:12.880 --> 01:45:14.960
her eyes as she stood there in the dim moonlight,

2013
01:45:15.600 --> 01:45:18.880
a strangle of cat in her hands. She killed it,

2014
01:45:19.000 --> 01:45:21.800
she said, because it was a nuisance. If she could

2015
01:45:21.840 --> 01:45:26.560
do that, what else was she capable of doing. Paula

2016
01:45:26.560 --> 01:45:28.640
and I went into the house. We went upstairs and

2017
01:45:28.720 --> 01:45:30.920
put the finishing touches in our room and went to bed.

2018
01:45:32.000 --> 01:45:33.000
I couldn't sleep.

2019
01:45:33.359 --> 01:45:35.880
As I watched the moon make its slow, solitary way

2020
01:45:35.920 --> 01:45:40.720
across the heaven. I kept thinking, Paula and I are

2021
01:45:40.760 --> 01:45:45.279
also a nuisance. Paul and I are also a nuisance.

2022
01:45:46.720 --> 01:45:49.319
Tart midnight, I became drowsy and was just beginning to

2023
01:45:49.359 --> 01:45:52.359
fall off to sleep when I I heard footsteps in

2024
01:45:52.439 --> 01:45:52.760
the hall.

2025
01:45:55.199 --> 01:45:58.720
Pauw er uh, pau Paul?

2026
01:45:58.760 --> 01:45:59.159
Wake up?

2027
01:46:00.119 --> 01:46:00.279
Oh?

2028
01:46:00.680 --> 01:46:01.079
What is that?

2029
01:46:01.359 --> 01:46:01.640
Ship?

2030
01:46:02.159 --> 01:46:03.319
I hear footsteps in the hole.

2031
01:46:04.239 --> 01:46:07.760
First, I don't hear anything.

2032
01:46:09.359 --> 01:46:10.439
There here it?

2033
01:46:12.039 --> 01:46:12.279
Yeah?

2034
01:46:14.920 --> 01:46:15.199
What? What?

2035
01:46:15.319 --> 01:46:17.199
What would she be doing up this time of night?

2036
01:46:17.359 --> 01:46:18.760
I don't know who else could it be?

2037
01:46:19.840 --> 01:46:20.359
I'll go see.

2038
01:46:20.520 --> 01:46:21.199
I'm coming with you.

2039
01:46:23.199 --> 01:46:29.840
Quiet, don't put on the light. I can't see.

2040
01:46:32.159 --> 01:46:33.319
Yes, no, I can.

2041
01:46:35.399 --> 01:46:41.119
It is Aunt Julie. She's walking down the hall. I

2042
01:46:41.199 --> 01:46:46.840
think she's coming this way. Quiet, sh I think she's

2043
01:46:48.079 --> 01:46:49.439
what she got in her hand.

2044
01:46:49.479 --> 01:46:50.520
Looks like a scissors.

2045
01:46:51.039 --> 01:46:54.520
Scissors would she be doing with Carol?

2046
01:46:54.600 --> 01:46:55.399
She's coming this way.

2047
01:46:55.720 --> 01:46:59.399
Get back in bed quick, Get in bed, all right?

2048
01:46:59.439 --> 01:47:00.359
Not ask her?

2049
01:47:10.199 --> 01:47:18.479
H she went out? Yeah, she just looked in and left.

2050
01:47:18.680 --> 01:47:20.840
Do you think she knew we were awake? I don't

2051
01:47:20.840 --> 01:47:21.239
see how?

2052
01:47:22.880 --> 01:47:28.159
All right? Where is my other slept up? There? Hi?

2053
01:47:28.319 --> 01:47:34.720
Come on, she's going downstairs. Come on and be quiet.

2054
01:47:36.319 --> 01:47:39.840
I think she's going outside. Not so fast, Give her

2055
01:47:39.880 --> 01:47:40.880
a chance to get out.

2056
01:47:42.279 --> 01:47:42.439
There.

2057
01:47:42.520 --> 01:47:42.880
She's out.

2058
01:47:43.239 --> 01:47:48.920
Come on, lak pa.

2059
01:47:50.159 --> 01:47:52.079
She's cutting a bunch of roses off the bush.

2060
01:47:52.640 --> 01:47:54.680
She's taking him around to the back of the house.

2061
01:47:55.560 --> 01:47:55.880
Come on.

2062
01:47:58.359 --> 01:48:03.760
Here, get down behind this portion. She's going over to

2063
01:48:03.840 --> 01:48:07.680
that that mound and placing the roses.

2064
01:48:07.399 --> 01:48:07.640
On it.

2065
01:48:10.159 --> 01:48:10.760
The pullet.

2066
01:48:11.479 --> 01:48:12.920
It looks like you're quiet, Carol.

2067
01:48:13.960 --> 01:48:19.479
She's kneeling beside it. Now she's getting up, coming back,

2068
01:48:20.279 --> 01:48:30.720
get done, She's gone.

2069
01:48:32.560 --> 01:48:33.439
Do you know what that is?

2070
01:48:34.800 --> 01:48:35.960
I got a pretty good idea.

2071
01:48:36.560 --> 01:48:41.039
Uncle Harry's roses. He's grave.

2072
01:48:43.479 --> 01:48:43.880
I said it.

2073
01:48:45.199 --> 01:48:48.199
I said it without thinking. Of course, we had no

2074
01:48:48.319 --> 01:48:51.640
way of knowing Go Henry was dead. We had no

2075
01:48:51.760 --> 01:48:54.239
way of knowing that that was Uncle Henry's graver, that

2076
01:48:54.319 --> 01:48:57.279
it was a grave at all. But at that moment,

2077
01:48:57.840 --> 01:49:01.439
stooping behind the bush and the blackness of the he selted,

2078
01:49:02.560 --> 01:49:06.399
not knowing why. Paul and I went back to our

2079
01:49:06.479 --> 01:49:09.239
room as quickly and as silently as possible. Needless to say,

2080
01:49:09.279 --> 01:49:12.359
we didn't sleep anymore. We just kept looking at each other,

2081
01:49:12.720 --> 01:49:17.920
asking ourselves questions, trying to analyze our feelings. Soon we

2082
01:49:17.960 --> 01:49:20.720
could see the streaks of dawn coming up over the treetops,

2083
01:49:21.680 --> 01:49:24.960
and we slept the early morning hours trying to We're

2084
01:49:25.000 --> 01:49:29.479
trying to convince each other that we thoughts were ridiculous. Frankly,

2085
01:49:29.520 --> 01:49:32.840
I don't think we succeeded. Finally, we decided not to

2086
01:49:32.960 --> 01:49:34.920
mention it, to go on with the cleaning the next day,

2087
01:49:34.920 --> 01:49:37.119
as we'd planned to make believe nothing had happened until

2088
01:49:37.119 --> 01:49:40.920
we had proof. That day we spent cleaning, and all

2089
01:49:41.039 --> 01:49:44.359
day Aunt Julie was nowhere to be seen. Yet I

2090
01:49:44.479 --> 01:49:49.399
had a strange feeling that something, someone was watching our

2091
01:49:49.439 --> 01:49:53.359
every move. Toward evening, Paul and I sat down for

2092
01:49:53.439 --> 01:49:56.039
a bite to eat more coffee.

2093
01:49:56.800 --> 01:50:01.000
Ah, thanks, I wonder where Aunt Julie is. Yeah, I

2094
01:50:01.079 --> 01:50:04.760
don't know, Carol. That's a strange aunt you've got.

2095
01:50:05.039 --> 01:50:11.319
Yes, Oh, look the window. I saw someone looking in.

2096
01:50:13.479 --> 01:50:15.880
There's no one there now, but I'm sure I saw

2097
01:50:15.920 --> 01:50:19.760
probably just a shadow. Yes, I'll be just a shadow.

2098
01:50:20.479 --> 01:50:21.479
You're on edge, Carol.

2099
01:50:21.560 --> 01:50:24.720
I'll be all right. Finish your coffee. I'll start pinning

2100
01:50:24.760 --> 01:50:28.479
the bathroom. Both work on the kitchen and take care

2101
01:50:28.520 --> 01:50:29.359
of the downstairs.

2102
01:50:29.960 --> 01:50:34.359
All right, Paul, you look worried. You know this a

2103
01:50:34.359 --> 01:50:39.760
whole crazy business, but putting roses on it, I'm sorry, Carol,

2104
01:50:41.399 --> 01:50:44.199
it's you. I'm really worried about it. If something should

2105
01:50:44.199 --> 01:50:45.720
happen to you, I'll never forgive myself.

2106
01:50:45.760 --> 01:50:48.640
Nothing will happen. I'll finish your coffee, I'll start seeing

2107
01:50:48.680 --> 01:50:49.720
the bathroom.

2108
01:50:50.479 --> 01:50:52.600
Okay, Carol, I won't be long.

2109
01:50:53.920 --> 01:51:01.079
Hmm, Well, isn't too bad. There's to sink, Yeah, it's

2110
01:51:01.159 --> 01:51:06.439
hot water. Yeah, that's it. Roish rag around a seapool.

2111
01:51:07.880 --> 01:51:08.079
Yeah.

2112
01:51:17.279 --> 01:51:25.159
Oh huh. There just the wind because I'm getting jumpy.

2113
01:51:26.880 --> 01:51:27.239
Mmmm.

2114
01:51:28.279 --> 01:51:31.399
This place won't be half bad when it's clean. The

2115
01:51:31.479 --> 01:51:41.359
medicine chest, clean, the mirror and shelves. Oh, Paul, Paul,

2116
01:51:42.880 --> 01:51:43.399
come here.

2117
01:51:43.840 --> 01:51:46.000
What's the matter?

2118
01:51:46.279 --> 01:51:48.039
Look you're in a medicine chest.

2119
01:51:49.720 --> 01:51:50.920
What's a hypodermic needle.

2120
01:51:51.000 --> 01:51:52.880
What would a hypodermic needle be doing here?

2121
01:51:53.359 --> 01:51:54.760
It's not likely to be here for nothing.

2122
01:51:55.000 --> 01:51:58.399
Look alongside of it a bottle of what's it saying?

2123
01:51:59.399 --> 01:52:03.239
I can't read all the looking stuff? Opened the bottle

2124
01:52:03.279 --> 01:52:11.800
all right, that cork's in tight there. Nauseating stuff like

2125
01:52:11.880 --> 01:52:13.880
that would kill a person. Paul, it's not a joke.

2126
01:52:14.199 --> 01:52:15.079
I'm sorry, Carol.

2127
01:52:15.760 --> 01:52:17.119
Do you really think Aunt Julie?

2128
01:52:18.439 --> 01:52:20.000
I don't know what can't be?

2129
01:52:20.119 --> 01:52:21.079
A poet can't be?

2130
01:52:21.359 --> 01:52:23.960
Maybe not, but we better find out and quickly. Carol,

2131
01:52:23.960 --> 01:52:25.960
there's one more thing to do. I'm going to see

2132
01:52:26.000 --> 01:52:28.479
if that's really Uncle Henry's grave I'm going to dig

2133
01:52:28.520 --> 01:52:31.439
it up, don't you see I have to if it

2134
01:52:31.520 --> 01:52:33.840
is we're in danger. Of course, I'm still not sure

2135
01:52:33.880 --> 01:52:36.600
that falling vase was an accident. We have to find

2136
01:52:36.640 --> 01:52:37.840
out about this business once.

2137
01:52:37.720 --> 01:52:38.119
And for all.

2138
01:52:38.279 --> 01:52:45.720
I'm coming with you. We walk the back house, and

2139
01:52:45.840 --> 01:52:50.600
through my mind flash the succession of events, neglected house,

2140
01:52:50.880 --> 01:52:54.640
Aunt Julie's consistence that we leave the roses, the grave,

2141
01:52:54.720 --> 01:52:57.159
the insurance policy, and now the hypodermic needle. Are that

2142
01:52:57.279 --> 01:53:02.319
infernal loyal? All the evidence to but one conclusion. I

2143
01:53:02.399 --> 01:53:06.479
couldn't believe it, And yet there it was motive and method,

2144
01:53:07.479 --> 01:53:09.520
and now we were going outside to dig up the

2145
01:53:09.640 --> 01:53:10.920
last remaining evidence.

2146
01:53:12.880 --> 01:53:16.680
Well, this is it, Cal sure you want to watch?

2147
01:53:17.000 --> 01:53:18.319
I won't stay in his house alone.

2148
01:53:19.279 --> 01:53:20.760
Look at the beautiful roses.

2149
01:53:20.479 --> 01:53:22.399
Around the Hurry up, Paul, let's get it over with.

2150
01:53:22.680 --> 01:53:29.319
Okay, here goes. I thought I'd turn into a grave digger.

2151
01:53:31.520 --> 01:53:34.560
His start isn't packed tight easy to dig.

2152
01:53:37.760 --> 01:53:38.560
It's getting dark.

2153
01:53:39.600 --> 01:53:43.279
Yeah, well, I think I'll run in and get a lantern.

2154
01:53:43.760 --> 01:53:44.640
I'll be right back now.

2155
01:53:44.920 --> 01:53:49.560
All right, every one of those lengthening shadows looked like

2156
01:53:49.640 --> 01:53:54.600
a ghost gets dark quickly in the country. I was afraid,

2157
01:53:54.680 --> 01:53:56.359
but I knew Paul would be back in a minute.

2158
01:53:57.479 --> 01:54:03.239
I picked up the shovel and began to dig. Ah yah,

2159
01:54:04.279 --> 01:54:11.039
that's better, that's a nervous I'm working. H got you

2160
01:54:11.119 --> 01:54:18.920
behind me, Paul, Bring the ladder closer. Hips so dark, Paul, Paul.

2161
01:54:21.000 --> 01:54:23.720
What are you doing? What are you doing? What are

2162
01:54:23.760 --> 01:54:24.479
you doing to my grave?

2163
01:54:24.920 --> 01:54:25.439
Put it back?

2164
01:54:25.840 --> 01:54:29.680
Put it back. My flowers, my beautiful flowers, my lovely roses.

2165
01:54:29.720 --> 01:54:31.479
You've hurt them, You've hurt my roses.

2166
01:54:31.520 --> 01:54:32.159
And I won't let you.

2167
01:54:32.439 --> 01:54:32.840
I won't.

2168
01:54:33.199 --> 01:54:33.720
I won't wait.

2169
01:54:35.159 --> 01:54:37.640
Let you break my roses, street delicate roses.

2170
01:54:37.800 --> 01:54:38.800
Take your hand the way.

2171
01:54:40.800 --> 01:54:47.079
You'll kill them, had the way?

2172
01:54:51.640 --> 01:54:53.800
Oh, oh, forgive me, Henry.

2173
01:54:55.720 --> 01:54:56.359
Are you all right?

2174
01:54:56.479 --> 01:54:59.880
Carol? Oh what happened?

2175
01:55:03.439 --> 01:55:07.560
And Julie saved my life? And we thought she Oh,

2176
01:55:07.600 --> 01:55:11.119
can you ever forget his Julie, you didn't know, You

2177
01:55:11.199 --> 01:55:15.640
didn't know. No, No, he wasn't. I don't understand. He

2178
01:55:15.760 --> 01:55:16.920
was living in his room all.

2179
01:55:16.840 --> 01:55:17.680
The time, Carol.

2180
01:55:18.520 --> 01:55:21.920
I was taking care of him. When you two insisted

2181
01:55:22.000 --> 01:55:24.239
on staying here, I kept him out of sight.

2182
01:55:25.119 --> 01:55:25.279
Oh.

2183
01:55:25.359 --> 01:55:27.840
I didn't want to kill him, and I had to.

2184
01:55:28.640 --> 01:55:31.600
He would have killed Carol. Oh if you only had

2185
01:55:31.760 --> 01:55:35.840
left when I asked you to. But perhaps it's better

2186
01:55:35.920 --> 01:55:39.439
this way. He never got that violent before. I could

2187
01:55:39.479 --> 01:55:42.039
always take care of him. The hypodermic need and.

2188
01:55:42.039 --> 01:55:44.000
The stave calmed him when he got a little while.

2189
01:55:44.039 --> 01:55:47.079
But then then when I saw him strangle a cat,

2190
01:55:47.119 --> 01:55:47.640
I knew he was.

2191
01:55:47.640 --> 01:55:49.039
Getting completely out of hand.

2192
01:55:50.279 --> 01:55:52.000
Yes, it's better this way.

2193
01:55:52.800 --> 01:55:56.279
He's better off dead, poor grave.

2194
01:55:56.399 --> 01:56:01.319
And the roses were a whim of his Williams.

2195
01:56:02.880 --> 01:56:05.920
And look he fell right in his own grain.

2196
01:56:15.560 --> 01:56:27.680
And so closes the story Uncle Henry's Rosebush, starring Agnes

2197
01:56:27.760 --> 01:56:29.800
Moorehead Ellen Drew and Ted Reid.

2198

This is CBS in Columbia Broadcasting System.

2204
01:57:16.159 --> 01:57:23.880
Hmmm, mystery. It's a phrase we use often for fun,

2205
01:57:25.199 --> 01:57:30.640
for a little thrill, a little excitement. But mystery is

2206
01:57:30.720 --> 01:57:36.439
not always our friend. Much as we've discussed the dichotomy

2207
01:57:37.039 --> 01:57:43.319
and complexity of so much. Some things are simply unknown

2208
01:57:43.479 --> 01:57:51.319
to us entirely, at least for a while. So I

2209
01:57:51.439 --> 01:57:56.960
suppose it's time you learn about the wholaw.

2210
01:58:04.199 --> 01:58:05.159
Out of the past.

2211
01:58:05.560 --> 01:58:08.319
Pat comes of the world of gone by speak again.

2212
01:58:08.479 --> 01:58:11.279
Their remort hotel, the Halla.

2213
01:58:21.119 --> 01:58:25.520
It was a dark house, dreary too. Shadows crept down

2214
01:58:25.560 --> 01:58:29.640
the walls like loathsome bourman. The house was old and

2215
01:58:29.760 --> 01:58:32.640
filled with memories of better days, Like the man who

2216
01:58:32.720 --> 01:58:37.720
lived there. He was old and gnarled and alone. He

2217
01:58:37.840 --> 01:58:39.920
passed the lonely hours by sitting on the porch of

2218
01:58:40.000 --> 01:58:42.439
his home, watching the boat sail up and down the river.

2219
01:58:43.319 --> 01:58:47.039
He was happy living alone in that old house until.

2220
01:58:46.880 --> 01:58:49.760
One day a tall, three rigged Brazilian schooner.

2221
01:58:49.520 --> 01:58:53.600
Floated past his shores, casting a shadow on the banks

2222
01:58:53.640 --> 01:58:56.800
of the river, a shadow over the old house, a

2223
01:58:56.880 --> 01:59:00.560
shadow over the old man, a living shadow which crept

2224
01:59:00.600 --> 01:59:04.119
into his mind. He wrote a letter to his young cousin,

2225
01:59:04.760 --> 01:59:07.520
Madame renee Sable, who was living in.

2226
01:59:07.600 --> 01:59:09.279
Paris, begging her to visit him.

2227
01:59:10.800 --> 01:59:13.439
She read the letter over several times and took it

2228
01:59:13.560 --> 01:59:18.039
to a friend of hers, a doctor, doctor Perell, to

2229
01:59:18.159 --> 01:59:18.920
ask his advice.

2230
01:59:20.000 --> 01:59:23.760
She was young and in Peris and she didn't believe

2231
01:59:23.880 --> 01:59:25.359
in the old rand show.

2232
01:59:28.479 --> 01:59:30.760
How you come to your doctor, Perrell because this letter

2233
01:59:30.840 --> 01:59:33.960
worries me. So you've known my cousin, Gabrielle Bouvet for

2234
01:59:34.039 --> 01:59:35.880
a long time, and he's not the sort of man

2235
01:59:36.000 --> 01:59:37.159
given to hallucinations.

2236
01:59:37.319 --> 01:59:39.640
It seems to be a very silent old man. But

2237
01:59:40.079 --> 01:59:42.039
living alone the way, the nonsense.

2238
01:59:42.119 --> 01:59:43.279
Living alone has nothing.

2239
01:59:43.079 --> 01:59:43.560
To do with it.

2240
01:59:43.720 --> 01:59:45.600
But suppose you read me the letter, Madamsell.

2241
01:59:45.840 --> 01:59:49.760
Of course it all seems like so much poppy cock. Listen,

2242
01:59:50.960 --> 01:59:53.720
be honored by a visit from you at your earliest convenience.

2243
01:59:54.960 --> 01:59:55.920
Didn't that like him?

2244
01:59:56.079 --> 01:59:56.840
Yes, very much.

2245
01:59:57.760 --> 01:59:58.439
You'll find me a.

2246
01:59:58.520 --> 02:00:02.800
Changed man, my dear changed because he has come. You

2247
02:00:02.920 --> 02:00:06.680
don't know what I'm talking about, and so I must explain.

2248
02:00:07.560 --> 02:00:10.840
A shadows crept into my home, a shadow which dominates me.

2249
02:00:11.960 --> 02:00:13.600
You see what I mean, Doctor.

2250
02:00:13.439 --> 02:00:15.079
Well Redon Remee right.

2251
02:00:15.840 --> 02:00:17.960
He is a creature from a land of shadows. But

2252
02:00:18.039 --> 02:00:20.640
I tell you he does live. He lives here with me,

2253
02:00:20.720 --> 02:00:23.840
and I'm afraid of him. Oh renee. He will dominate

2254
02:00:23.960 --> 02:00:28.439
all of mankind, just as mankind has dominated the animal kingdom.

2255
02:00:29.119 --> 02:00:32.600
We will become his chattel, his food, and his slave.

2256
02:00:33.239 --> 02:00:36.119
As the animals become ours, you see.

2257
02:00:36.039 --> 02:00:37.479
Doctor, Yes, and did I do?

2258
02:00:37.720 --> 02:00:40.720
I wonder, Renee, how soon can you pack and be

2259
02:00:40.800 --> 02:00:41.319
ready to live?

2260
02:00:41.399 --> 02:00:42.199
In about two hours?

2261
02:00:42.279 --> 02:00:42.720
We'll fine.

2262
02:00:42.720 --> 02:00:44.920
I'll have the hoss and buggy hitched and coffee. Then

2263
02:00:45.600 --> 02:00:47.279
I think we'd better go down to him as soon

2264
02:00:47.319 --> 02:00:47.960
as possible.

2265
02:00:48.239 --> 02:00:51.319
Doctor, surely you don't believe in this, this invisible creature.

2266
02:00:51.920 --> 02:00:54.199
Surely, Renee, I don't doubt the wind just because I

2267
02:00:54.279 --> 02:00:56.880
can't see it. We'll be able to judge better after

2268
02:00:56.920 --> 02:00:57.880
we have a talk with him.

2269
02:00:58.279 --> 02:01:00.079
You better hurry home. I'm going right.

2270
02:01:07.840 --> 02:01:08.560
For a long trip.

2271
02:01:08.640 --> 02:01:08.960
Doctor.

2272
02:01:09.039 --> 02:01:11.159
I hope we don't frighten my cousin by coming.

2273
02:01:11.000 --> 02:01:11.520
At this hour.

2274
02:01:12.199 --> 02:01:15.039
That's their house right over there, Yes, throughout the end.

2275
02:01:14.960 --> 02:01:17.439
Of the road. Huh, only looking old place.

2276
02:01:17.439 --> 02:01:20.520
It's very gloomy. It's so dark and so very old.

2277
02:01:21.000 --> 02:01:23.319
Tell me how long has Bugai's wife has been dead?

2278
02:01:23.399 --> 02:01:24.399
For about six years?

2279
02:01:24.479 --> 02:01:27.279
Now? Did you notice any perceptible change in emantasy?

2280
02:01:27.359 --> 02:01:31.680
Do nothing? Except, you know, except he became quieter and

2281
02:01:31.840 --> 02:01:34.039
drew into himself more. If that impossible?

2282
02:01:34.840 --> 02:01:35.680
That here we are?

2283
02:01:36.359 --> 02:01:36.560
Oh?

2284
02:01:37.479 --> 02:01:44.920
Oh, and so the doctor and the old man's cousin,

2285
02:01:45.159 --> 02:01:49.199
Renee's son entered the old house, expecting to find a

2286
02:01:49.319 --> 02:01:52.520
man weakened by illness, haggard with lack of sleep, but

2287
02:01:52.720 --> 02:01:56.600
instead Gabriel Boubat was in high spirits as he conducted

2288
02:01:56.640 --> 02:01:59.439
his guests into the house. He made a special part

2289
02:01:59.520 --> 02:02:02.720
of tea, and then as he passed the cree of sugar.

2290
02:02:04.319 --> 02:02:10.560
You, dearnee's not being so nervous, pitch fidget who he's worth? Fidgety, youngster,

2291
02:02:11.439 --> 02:02:12.159
it's me nervous.

2292
02:02:12.600 --> 02:02:15.880
You are talking about the Brazilian boat missable by What

2293
02:02:16.000 --> 02:02:17.800
has the boat to do with this unknown shadow?

2294
02:02:19.039 --> 02:02:22.600
We don't know? Then, frankly, no hell.

2295
02:02:23.960 --> 02:02:24.159
Here?

2296
02:02:25.359 --> 02:02:28.960
Look at this book, well, study of the scientific word.

2297
02:02:29.880 --> 02:02:30.279
Open it.

2298
02:02:31.600 --> 02:02:33.000
My eyes aren't as good as it used to be.

2299
02:02:33.039 --> 02:02:35.479
Here I dreaded to you myself paid seventy two.

2300
02:02:35.840 --> 02:02:37.960
What a fit to do with a shadow which you see?

2301
02:02:38.560 --> 02:02:41.159
But are your friend a doctor to read the second character? Mm?

2302
02:02:43.000 --> 02:02:47.399
Well listen to this one. They South Polo, Brazil. A

2303
02:02:47.560 --> 02:02:52.079
contagious madness has spread throughout South Polo. The victims claim

2304
02:02:52.119 --> 02:02:55.520
they are being possessed by creatures of darkness who feed

2305
02:02:55.600 --> 02:02:58.840
only on milk and water. Medical savants have been rushed

2306
02:02:58.880 --> 02:03:01.039
to their eve in Brazil.

2307
02:03:00.840 --> 02:03:04.079
C I know, I know that the Brazilian boat saved

2308
02:03:04.119 --> 02:03:09.239
by my door. It's possible for this and every dish

2309
02:03:10.319 --> 02:03:11.680
I have escaped from the boat.

2310
02:03:12.439 --> 02:03:15.479
Anything's possible. But this does seem a little improbable.

2311
02:03:15.600 --> 02:03:18.800
But possession, that's talking of demon This is the modern world.

2312
02:03:19.279 --> 02:03:21.680
No one man can possess the power of ordering.

2313
02:03:21.479 --> 02:03:23.720
Another's will a little.

2314
02:03:23.840 --> 02:03:24.159
You know.

2315
02:03:25.359 --> 02:03:26.800
Perhaps I am a fool of a girl.

2316
02:03:26.840 --> 02:03:30.039
But anybody, no, not anybody, Rene, not me, for instance,

2317
02:03:30.079 --> 02:03:32.600
I believe in hypnotics. That's possession of a kind.

2318
02:03:32.760 --> 02:03:36.000
Doctor Mesmer's nonsense. I don't believe in mesmerism.

2319
02:03:36.119 --> 02:03:37.600
Well, I can prove it to your Cynthia enough.

2320
02:03:38.319 --> 02:03:41.159
If you're willing, we'll try a little experiment you hypnotize.

2321
02:03:41.600 --> 02:03:43.600
If you will be a subject, why of course I will.

2322
02:03:43.640 --> 02:03:44.479
That sounds like fun.

2323
02:03:44.640 --> 02:03:46.279
Can I have been any adopt? Yes?

2324
02:03:46.479 --> 02:03:48.439
Just blow out the candle all but once.

2325
02:03:48.840 --> 02:03:51.800
Certainly I leave the coronic candle.

2326
02:03:51.600 --> 02:03:55.279
On all right now, Renee, if you'll close your eyes,

2327
02:03:55.760 --> 02:04:02.039
my eyes are closed, and try to sleep. Sleep, Eh,

2328
02:04:03.000 --> 02:04:07.960
candles are out all but one. Now, sleep, my dear,

2329
02:04:08.600 --> 02:04:17.479
try to sleep. Doctor listen, listen to that what what lisson?

2330
02:04:18.239 --> 02:04:21.800
It's in the room. I know it is it's here

2331
02:04:22.560 --> 02:04:25.840
thanks to me watching me. Can't you hear it? Crying? Crying,

2332
02:04:25.920 --> 02:04:28.760
it's maden it you don't believe me? Do you stop

2333
02:04:28.760 --> 02:04:30.920
the experiment at once? Huh?

2334
02:04:32.199 --> 02:04:34.840
Listen, Christmas happen?

2335
02:04:34.960 --> 02:04:37.600
Please? What makes you think mankind is the final answer

2336
02:04:37.640 --> 02:04:40.680
to life? Perhaps there is a higher form of life,

2337
02:04:41.880 --> 02:04:43.920
form of life which can possess us and that destroy us.

2338
02:04:45.000 --> 02:04:46.079
Isn't that possible? Doctor?

2339
02:04:46.199 --> 02:04:47.880
Well, yes, anything is possible.

2340
02:04:48.199 --> 02:04:50.960
Can take my word for it. Humanity is lost unless

2341
02:04:50.960 --> 02:04:55.159
we destroy it. Look, I always carry a knife with me,

2342
02:04:55.199 --> 02:05:00.199
waiting for the time I can destroy him. Listen, it's

2343
02:05:00.239 --> 02:05:03.399
come for me, Come for possession of me. HiT's come.

2344
02:05:04.199 --> 02:05:05.600
It's the horror, the.

2345
02:05:05.680 --> 02:05:13.520
Horror, it's doctor.

2346
02:05:13.680 --> 02:05:16.119
Won't he ever wake up? He's been unconscious for over

2347
02:05:16.199 --> 02:05:16.560
an hour.

2348
02:05:16.760 --> 02:05:18.800
Well, it's best to let him sleep right now, My dear,

2349
02:05:19.159 --> 02:05:21.479
this is an exhausting emotional strain for a man of

2350
02:05:21.520 --> 02:05:21.960
his years.

2351
02:05:22.000 --> 02:05:22.760
What can we do?

2352
02:05:23.159 --> 02:05:25.439
As soon as this heartbeat is normal, I'll take him

2353
02:05:25.439 --> 02:05:27.479
back to the Palace hospital. You will have to stay

2354
02:05:27.520 --> 02:05:29.760
here for a few days and close the house. Just

2355
02:05:29.960 --> 02:05:31.920
pack his belongings and bring them on to Paris as

2356
02:05:31.960 --> 02:05:32.479
soon as you can.

2357
02:05:32.600 --> 02:05:34.680
Anything you say, doctor, power well, come.

2358
02:05:34.560 --> 02:05:35.840
Renee, we must let him sleep.

2359
02:05:36.119 --> 02:05:38.399
I'll prepare the coach for the return journey.

2360
02:05:42.520 --> 02:05:45.520
And so they left him lying on the old bed

2361
02:05:45.600 --> 02:05:48.680
in his room, and the shadows on the walls cast

2362
02:05:48.760 --> 02:05:50.119
purple shadows.

2363
02:05:49.720 --> 02:05:52.039
On his gnarled hands, and the hands.

2364
02:05:51.800 --> 02:05:54.000
Clutched the air and flashed the sheets, as if the

2365
02:05:54.039 --> 02:05:57.159
old man were fighting, fighting a being, fighting a presence,

2366
02:05:57.199 --> 02:05:59.920
fighting for possession of his own will. The old man

2367
02:06:00.079 --> 02:06:04.079
his face was a mask of horror. And then the wind,

2368
02:06:04.720 --> 02:06:08.359
that strange, unholy wind, it's about to do sneak in

2369
02:06:08.399 --> 02:06:11.920
the room. It oo's through the door, the keyholes and

2370
02:06:12.000 --> 02:06:14.399
the window. It slid to the bedside.

2371
02:06:21.680 --> 02:06:25.359
No, no, yeare possessed. Possessed.

2372
02:06:25.479 --> 02:06:28.359
And I know you watch me night and day, night

2373
02:06:28.520 --> 02:06:30.439
and day, night and day.

2374
02:06:30.560 --> 02:06:32.760
Well, get away with me. I've gotta get away with me.

2375
02:06:33.560 --> 02:06:34.880
He don't give in without a struggle.

2376
02:06:35.039 --> 02:06:39.079
You'll have to give in because nobody believes you, believes you,

2377
02:06:39.279 --> 02:06:44.760
believes you alone, give me alone, watching you, watching you, watching,

2378
02:06:46.239 --> 02:06:47.600
Never leave you well.

2379
02:06:47.920 --> 02:06:51.920
Never never, never shall be free of you. You can't

2380
02:06:52.000 --> 02:06:52.880
be free of me.

2381
02:06:53.079 --> 02:06:54.000
I'm part of you.

2382
02:06:54.359 --> 02:06:57.960
If I stay here, they'll call you mad. They'll call

2383
02:06:58.079 --> 02:07:01.000
you mad. What if I leave the house, you'll die.

2384
02:07:02.399 --> 02:07:05.199
I'll leave. You're here, you can't follow me. He'll go

2385
02:07:05.279 --> 02:07:07.439
far away, so far nobody will find me.

2386
02:07:08.239 --> 02:07:11.560
I've got one hand on your heart to play, and

2387
02:07:11.960 --> 02:07:15.560
one in the room. If you'll leave your heart, you

2388
02:07:15.600 --> 02:07:19.319
will be torn from you, torn from your body, time

2389
02:07:19.439 --> 02:07:20.279
from yourself?

2390
02:07:27.039 --> 02:07:27.680
Is anything the matter?

2391
02:07:27.800 --> 02:07:29.600
Hired him screen too good to look at me.

2392
02:07:29.880 --> 02:07:31.399
His face is dead white.

2393
02:07:31.520 --> 02:07:33.960
Yes, you're quite right. I'll have to risk moving him now.

2394
02:07:34.199 --> 02:07:35.359
I don't think we ought to leave him in this

2395
02:07:35.439 --> 02:07:36.079
house any longer.

2396
02:07:36.159 --> 02:07:37.520
How can you travel alone with him?

2397
02:07:37.520 --> 02:07:39.640
Well, I'll mat it somehow. Carry him to the buggy.

2398
02:07:40.000 --> 02:07:42.439
He can sleep as we drive along. I can manage somehow,

2399
02:07:42.920 --> 02:07:44.880
that is, if you don't mind staying here alone.

2400
02:07:44.960 --> 02:07:47.239
I don't mind, doctor, I have no patience with superstitious

2401
02:07:47.239 --> 02:07:47.920
non here.

2402
02:07:48.319 --> 02:07:51.960
Help me recommend this blanket, good doctor, that's fine. Now

2403
02:07:52.039 --> 02:07:53.359
hand me that other blanket over there.

2404
02:07:53.880 --> 02:07:54.039
Here.

2405
02:07:54.079 --> 02:07:56.560
You are to keep him warm on the journey. I'll

2406
02:07:56.640 --> 02:07:58.920
send the coats back from Paris tomorrow evening to pick

2407
02:07:58.960 --> 02:07:59.239
you up.

2408
02:07:59.520 --> 02:08:00.880
You ought to be to leave here by then.

2409
02:08:00.960 --> 02:08:02.359
Don't worry about me, doctor Perron.

2410
02:08:02.479 --> 02:08:07.600
I'll be all right, That's what she thought then. But

2411
02:08:07.800 --> 02:08:10.000
even as the doctor carried the old man out of

2412
02:08:10.039 --> 02:08:13.560
the house to the carriage. Premonition of fear, a foreboding

2413
02:08:13.960 --> 02:08:16.279
reached out from the gathering shadows on the walls and

2414
02:08:16.399 --> 02:08:20.039
left her trembling and weak. The doctor placed the old

2415
02:08:20.079 --> 02:08:23.479
man in the carriage, and then that journey and the

2416
02:08:23.560 --> 02:08:27.279
return to Paris started. They had traveled for about an hour,

2417
02:08:29.600 --> 02:08:31.000
for they awakened sobbing out.

2418
02:08:32.439 --> 02:08:35.560
You've taken me away away from my house, you fool. Okay,

2419
02:08:35.640 --> 02:08:37.840
you must not excite yourselfut his hands and my heart

2420
02:08:37.880 --> 02:08:38.479
he's pulling on it.

2421
02:08:38.640 --> 02:08:38.800
Poor.

2422
02:08:39.560 --> 02:08:40.840
Have to take me back before I die.

2423
02:08:41.840 --> 02:08:42.760
You must get away from that.

2424
02:08:43.000 --> 02:08:45.479
Take me back, Take me back, doctor. You don't understand.

2425
02:08:46.159 --> 02:08:47.239
Do you think I'm at doctor?

2426
02:08:47.760 --> 02:08:48.840
But the hall exists?

2427
02:08:49.439 --> 02:08:50.000
They exist?

2428
02:08:50.199 --> 02:08:51.479
Now die, I don't get done.

2429
02:08:51.520 --> 02:08:54.159
Will you try to restless there? We're doing everything we can.

2430
02:08:54.319 --> 02:08:57.000
Turn his carriage around, doctor, from the end of the hallway.

2431
02:08:57.119 --> 02:08:57.760
Way to die.

2432
02:08:58.159 --> 02:08:59.960
Let go of the raise, you fool, before you take

2433
02:09:00.079 --> 02:09:03.359
prop a roll in the character roll myself findless knife

2434
02:09:03.439 --> 02:09:04.199
and the old way?

2435
02:09:04.359 --> 02:09:08.279
What that knife? Found? What don teach you to want

2436
02:09:08.319 --> 02:09:16.800
to fill a hall of doctor? Meat? You well get

2437
02:09:16.840 --> 02:09:19.960
out of this carriage stuff before I plunge the dagger

2438
02:09:20.000 --> 02:09:23.560
into your heart. Poofay, you can't leave me here like this.

2439
02:09:23.920 --> 02:09:26.560
I must gave your hair how much? Return to the house.

2440
02:09:26.600 --> 02:09:29.960
It wants to destroy him, but he doesn't exist. Accepting

2441
02:09:30.000 --> 02:09:33.359
your own mind, movee. He exists, and I'm going to

2442
02:09:33.479 --> 02:09:34.479
improve very.

2443
02:09:38.239 --> 02:09:49.880
Hre. I'm coming, master, Yeah, I'm coming master. I'm coming

2444
02:09:50.079 --> 02:09:55.239
to destroy you. Yes, as I destroyed him.

2445
02:10:33.239 --> 02:10:35.800
And so Bobet drave walk in the rambling carror, leaving

2446
02:10:35.840 --> 02:10:38.880
the badly wounded doctor lying on the roadside more dead

2447
02:10:39.199 --> 02:10:42.880
than a lion. Bouvey drove curiously through the night to

2448
02:10:43.000 --> 02:10:44.960
a little shack about a half mile from his home.

2449
02:10:45.399 --> 02:10:47.880
There was a sign on the shack, a sign reading

2450
02:10:48.720 --> 02:10:53.439
lit towels, expert, blockmakers and iron workers. Bubet pulled the

2451
02:10:53.479 --> 02:10:56.840
carriage off in front of the door, walked to the

2452
02:10:56.960 --> 02:10:57.439
entrance of the.

2453
02:10:57.439 --> 02:11:02.720
Shank tow.

2454
02:11:07.159 --> 02:11:11.119
Who who's calling it is? Oh? Sure, Bob, what are

2455
02:11:11.199 --> 02:11:15.640
you doing at this hour of the night. Yes, of

2456
02:11:15.800 --> 02:11:19.680
course I need your help, that's what my help. What

2457
02:11:19.880 --> 02:11:21.920
can a poor man like me do for a wealthy

2458
02:11:22.000 --> 02:11:24.079
man like you if you make a lot for me.

2459
02:11:24.920 --> 02:11:26.600
I've got to lock the doors in my house security,

2460
02:11:27.279 --> 02:11:29.479
the front and back doors, and the windows, all the

2461
02:11:29.520 --> 02:11:32.239
windows in my house. You must be locked and bolted

2462
02:11:32.279 --> 02:11:35.159
the tower. Good night, Yes, tonight, you're full of cost tonight.

2463
02:11:35.520 --> 02:11:37.920
But in Heaven's name, why lock him out out of

2464
02:11:37.960 --> 02:11:40.319
my home, out of my life. You're doing an eternity.

2465
02:11:40.520 --> 02:11:43.720
You're not feeling well. Come in a tower. Don't picker

2466
02:11:43.760 --> 02:11:46.000
with me. Hurry man, I'm prepared to pay any price

2467
02:11:46.079 --> 02:11:48.119
to ask, because she'll be as you say if you

2468
02:11:48.399 --> 02:11:51.119
only just give me time to get my instruments together. Cross.

2469
02:11:51.159 --> 02:11:53.159
But hurry to hurry. He's waiting for me.

2470
02:11:53.239 --> 02:11:56.680
Now you seal the towel.

2471
02:11:56.680 --> 02:11:58.720
And the old man returned to the lonely old house

2472
02:11:58.800 --> 02:12:00.800
by the river and the death of the night. They

2473
02:12:00.880 --> 02:12:03.359
crept into the house who worked in the half darkness

2474
02:12:03.520 --> 02:12:07.880
near the shadows, and that strange, unholy wind was quiet

2475
02:12:08.399 --> 02:12:11.680
and didn't disturb them while they worked well. They felt

2476
02:12:11.720 --> 02:12:15.439
safe and free for a while, only a while, and

2477
02:12:15.560 --> 02:12:21.039
a girl slept upstairs, slept undisturbed and quiet. They always

2478
02:12:21.119 --> 02:12:25.159
passed this way, passed quietly as the locksmith worked.

2479
02:12:24.920 --> 02:12:30.960
And the old man muttered, right, alright, hurry almost morning, man,

2480
02:12:31.239 --> 02:12:34.000
I'm hearing as pass as I can. I'm almost done,

2481
02:12:34.039 --> 02:12:36.319
except for the windows in your cousin's room. Don't worry

2482
02:12:36.319 --> 02:12:38.600
about her. I'll wake her up when the time comes.

2483
02:12:38.760 --> 02:12:41.159
Finished that dock man, just two more nails were hold

2484
02:12:41.199 --> 02:12:41.600

2485
02:12:41.880 --> 02:12:42.079

Good to one ails to one nails And there you are.

The morning, abster? Good money?

2489
02:12:53.119 --> 02:12:55.479

from my house, but it couldn't try to Where is

I'll be able to lock him in and kill him.

2502
02:13:27.359 --> 02:13:29.479
Kill him? Hell, what are you throwing at me for?

2503
02:13:30.199 --> 02:13:31.840
Go ahead to my cousin's room and start to work.

2504
02:13:31.960 --> 02:13:33.239
Gosh out, start right away.

What did you do?

2509
02:13:43.359 --> 02:13:43.840
To the doctor.

Nothing nothing, we.

There's blood on that knife, Gabrielle, What did you do?

2516

2527
02:14:41.960 --> 02:14:44.399
Smiling to himself. He left the kitchen and went to.

And while the frantic destroyed, all man poured oil on

2562
02:16:46.479 --> 02:16:49.799
the rugs and on the walls. The tow walked slowly home,

2563
02:16:50.360 --> 02:16:54.360
worrying about his old friend Buvey, worrying about the strangest

2564
02:16:54.479 --> 02:16:57.840
actions he'd ever seen, worrying and trying to fit together

2565
02:16:57.920 --> 02:16:59.799
the odd pieces of the puzzle in his mind.

2566
02:17:00.959 --> 02:17:05.319
Halfway home to heard the voice cry out, somebody help help.

And the old wild eyed man rushed into the pile

scorched bones and two odd misshapen skulls.

02:21:36.879 --> 02:21:44.319
Two odd misshapen skulls. Remember that, for there were two skulls,
