00:00:09.119 --> 00:00:14.160
My dear, so good to see you. Come on now,
2
00:00:14.279 --> 00:00:19.640
don't be afraid, at least not yet. Now have a seat,
3
00:00:20.440 --> 00:00:25.839
my favorite chair, the most comfortable spot in all of
4
00:00:25.879 --> 00:00:33.880
this room. Or what's that. Well, of course I'll get
5
00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:37.880
some hot tea going in no time, and we'll enjoy
6
00:00:38.039 --> 00:00:45.039
our little ritual of sorts. I do so enjoy spending
7
00:00:45.079 --> 00:00:50.840
this time with you, sharing something fun and dark. So
8
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:57.479
please enjoy the fire, enjoy the seat, enjoy the fear.
9
00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:04.359
And of course that is nothing but the truth.
10
00:01:08.319 --> 00:01:12.200
Of all the great killers of history, perhaps the deadliest
11
00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:15.280
and most terrifying is the automobile.
12
00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:18.000
Nero Attila, the.
13
00:01:18.040 --> 00:01:23.359
Hun blue Beard, even artillery fire, and the ultimate the
14
00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:27.439
atom bomb. At least they have a purpose, a reason,
15
00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:34.760
a rationale. But the automobile maims and kills mindlessly, senselessly.
16
00:01:35.599 --> 00:01:39.560
For example, this.
17
00:01:39.359 --> 00:01:42.599
Is all long Jack here in the studio on.
18
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:50.120
The one chef with Foggy. You really man, chilly man, heavy,
19
00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:51.760
shut up your fool.
20
00:01:52.120 --> 00:01:54.640
If you just let big Daddy help you out all it.
21
00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:58.760
You can't help me big Daddy who comes to hit something?
22
00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:03.040
Somebody splish, I got splish.
23
00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:16.120
Our mystery drama, and nothing but the truth was written
24
00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:20.560
especially for the Mystery Theater by Ian Martin and stars
25
00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:36.879
Arnold Moss. I'll be back shortly with Act one.
26
00:02:37.719 --> 00:02:40.120
Was the accident we heard a few minutes ago?
27
00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:45.639
Another statistic of the road, an innocent victim, a careless driver,
28
00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:50.759
the victim's family broken and lost, a young man whose
29
00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:55.400
carelessness had blighted a bright new manhood and a promising career.
30
00:02:56.280 --> 00:02:58.400
Or was the driver lucky this time?
31
00:02:59.039 --> 00:03:02.840
Lucky in a way way far beyond his hope or expectation.
32
00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:07.560
We are about to find out with David the young driver,
33
00:03:08.199 --> 00:03:11.639
as he paces his living room floor waiting for his
34
00:03:11.759 --> 00:03:13.000
father to come home.
35
00:03:14.599 --> 00:03:19.439
Dad, David, David, what are you doing up at this hour?
36
00:03:19.919 --> 00:03:22.840
I didn't hear you come in. I thought you'd never
37
00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:23.960
get home. Where's you've been?
38
00:03:24.439 --> 00:03:24.520
Now?
39
00:03:24.599 --> 00:03:24.719
Oh?
40
00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:29.000
I have to start answering to you for my whereabouts? What? What? Oh?
41
00:03:29.039 --> 00:03:29.800
You mean like mother?
42
00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:31.560
Yes? Yes, like your mother.
43
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:33.439
I'm sorry, Dad, well.
44
00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:36.919
For your information. I was working correcting term papers.
45
00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:38.120
It wasn't that I.
46
00:03:40.719 --> 00:03:44.520
David. I'm very tired. You all right? Dad?
47
00:03:44.800 --> 00:03:47.960
You look like you had an attack or something or.
48
00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:49.840
Don't be silly, I said, I was tired.
49
00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:54.120
What what's wrong with you?
50
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:55.039
You've been drinking.
51
00:03:56.039 --> 00:03:58.800
I yes, I wish I hadn't, but I did.
52
00:03:58.919 --> 00:04:00.639
Okay, so take it easy.
53
00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:06.120
Whatever it is, we'll we'll work it out. But where's
54
00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:08.000
your sports car? Didn't you have it out tonight?
55
00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:11.879
Yes? I left it parked on the street. Well, you
56
00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:12.639
better put it away.
57
00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:14.879
There's no sense in leaving it out in this rain.
58
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:18.560
Dad, I've got to talk to you. It's about the car.
59
00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:20.199
What about the car?
60
00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:24.680
I didn't know what to do. I hit the panic button,
61
00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:25.319
I ran.
62
00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:27.319
What else?
63
00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:29.360
Did you hit someone?
64
00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:30.079
A man?
65
00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:32.959
I'm pretty sure down near the railroad, you know where
66
00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:34.000
the big curve comes.
67
00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:35.800
Around by the station opposite Franny's place.
68
00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:38.240
I think it was one of those old whinos that
69
00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:41.399
hang around there, Dad, I swear I never saw him.
70
00:04:41.399 --> 00:04:45.079
With all that rain in the fog. Was there anyone
71
00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:47.920
else around? I didn't see anyone.
72
00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:50.560
I should have stopped, but all I could think of
73
00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:53.120
was that I'd been drinking in the scholarship coming up,
74
00:04:53.160 --> 00:04:54.399
and if anything happened, it.
75
00:04:54.319 --> 00:04:55.160
Would kill Mom.
76
00:04:55.839 --> 00:04:58.560
And before I knew it, I was running away. I've
77
00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:01.240
been going crazy waiting for you to at home. I'm
78
00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:03.600
scared too, but I guess I ought to go to
79
00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:04.040
the police.
80
00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:08.399
Does your mother know about this? No, no, okay. When
81
00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:12.920
did it happen? Two o'clock almost on the nose, two
82
00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:17.240
this morning? Yeah, by the railroad, you say, yeah, I.
83
00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:19.360
Just came off Stratfield and I took the corner into
84
00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:20.480
the Big ben On Hills Place.
85
00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:21.959
I get the picture.
86
00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:25.360
Okay, I go in the kitchen and wait for me,
87
00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:28.120
And no matter what, don't let your mother get involved.
88
00:05:28.519 --> 00:05:29.120
Where are you going?
89
00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:31.639
I'm going to have a look at your car. Well,
90
00:05:31.639 --> 00:05:32.480
I'll come with you.
91
00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:34.800
You'll do as I say from here on in.
92
00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:37.519
Now you go to the kitchen, I'll be right back.
93
00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:39.120
What are you gonna do?
94
00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:43.360
I'm not sure yet, but just well, maybe there's a
95
00:05:43.399 --> 00:05:54.160
way to get off the spot. Is your mother still asleep?
96
00:05:54.839 --> 00:05:57.920
I guess, sir, she hasn't been down. There's a dent
97
00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:02.319
in your front right fender. Was that there before tonight?
98
00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:03.079
No?
99
00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:03.879
You're sure?
100
00:06:04.279 --> 00:06:06.160
Yeah, I simon asked the car yesterday.
101
00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:07.839
Does it look bad? Well?
102
00:06:07.920 --> 00:06:08.399
Not too.
103
00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:13.279
Well. It must have been a glancing blow. You mean,
104
00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:15.079
maybe it's going to be all right? Maybe?
105
00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:17.480
Oh, I don't think I could hurt him too bad.
106
00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:19.800
And a night like tonight, you know, I'll whope hanging
107
00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:20.639
around isn't.
108
00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:23.319
Going to be all that easy, David. They might be
109
00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:27.399
able to trace the car. How you're missing a front
110
00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:32.000
right hubcat. There aren't that many Holly five eighty.
111
00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:35.160
Fours in this town, so I'll have to give myself up.
112
00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:40.040
No, No, let's figure this house. Was your mother up
113
00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:42.959
when you went out tonight? I don't know if she
114
00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:46.160
was asleep, but she wasn't downstairs. Then she didn't see
115
00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:49.920
what car you took. No, did you see me leave?
116
00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:53.560
I mean, did she look out of the window or anything.
117
00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:56.439
No, she was just sitting in the big chair by
118
00:06:56.439 --> 00:06:58.879
the fireplace, crying.
119
00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:01.399
Cry, you know the usual.
120
00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:05.560
I was off once again to the arms of another
121
00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:07.199
woman like that.
122
00:07:07.800 --> 00:07:09.120
Well you don't believe all that talk?
123
00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:12.360
Do you looked at We've been down this road before.
124
00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:13.680
I'm not making any judgment.
125
00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:15.800
I'm not asking you to sit in judgment on me.
126
00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:18.439
I asked for a simple reaction between a father and
127
00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:24.839
a son. I I'm sorry, David. I didn't mean to
128
00:07:24.879 --> 00:07:25.360
blow up.
129
00:07:26.839 --> 00:07:29.199
I guess we're both a little shook tonight, but you
130
00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:31.920
ought to know by now where I stand. It's just well,
131
00:07:32.199 --> 00:07:34.279
I know mom gets a lot of screwy notions, but
132
00:07:34.360 --> 00:07:34.920
all the same.
133
00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:36.759
I'm sorry for her.
134
00:07:36.920 --> 00:07:40.079
She's so lost and well, I'm always afraid that any
135
00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:43.839
little thing might push her right over the edge tonight.
136
00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:45.920
Oh dad, what am I going to do?
137
00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:48.279
That's what we're going to figure out right now.
138
00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:50.800
I got a few more questions.
139
00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:56.079
You say, the accident happened at two o'clock or so, right,
140
00:07:56.560 --> 00:07:58.319
just as I said, almost exactly.
141
00:07:58.319 --> 00:07:59.199
Now, how do you know that?
142
00:08:00.399 --> 00:08:02.600
I was listening to long Jack and he was just
143
00:08:02.639 --> 00:08:04.920
going into a last commercial before he went off the air.
144
00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:08.959
The disk he was spinning was just ending. And well
145
00:08:09.240 --> 00:08:13.360
when I hit the guy? What was the record? An
146
00:08:13.399 --> 00:08:14.759
oldie easy to Love?
147
00:08:15.600 --> 00:08:18.639
And you hit this man just after you turned off
148
00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:23.720
Stratfield into Hills Point. Yeah, he suddenly he stepped.
149
00:08:23.319 --> 00:08:27.680
Off the curb. I gotta nowhere. How fast were you going? Did?
150
00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:28.199
Come on?
151
00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:30.759
Come on? Don't pussy foot with me too fast?
152
00:08:31.079 --> 00:08:34.720
I took the corner pretty wide. Yeah, it was pretty
153
00:08:34.759 --> 00:08:35.440
slick from the ring.
154
00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:37.639
There was no one else around, No you sure?
155
00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:38.039
Yeah?
156
00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:39.919
I opened the door to look out. There was no one.
157
00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:43.320
That's why I lost my nerve and cut out. Well,
158
00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:44.600
I better get down and find out.
159
00:08:44.799 --> 00:08:48.320
You stay right aware you are. It's after four. The
160
00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:50.360
longer I wait, the worse it will be for I'm
161
00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:51.000
not going to.
162
00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:54.320
Be involved in this. It all, David, what do you mean?
163
00:08:54.440 --> 00:08:58.440
I mean you were driving the station wagon tonight.
164
00:08:59.399 --> 00:08:59.960
I was the one.
165
00:09:00.039 --> 00:09:02.200
I was driving the sports car and I'm going to
166
00:09:02.240 --> 00:09:04.320
the precinct house right now to report that I hit
167
00:09:04.360 --> 00:09:07.279
a man and left the scene of the accident.
168
00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:10.720
Dad, I can't let you do this. Don't be a fool.
169
00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:14.080
I'm not on the verge of getting a full scholarship
170
00:09:14.120 --> 00:09:14.559
to Harvard.
171
00:09:14.799 --> 00:09:15.919
I haven't been drinking.
172
00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:19.159
I'm not a teenager with two strikes against him as
173
00:09:19.159 --> 00:09:23.240
a driver to begin with. I'm a full college professor
174
00:09:23.240 --> 00:09:25.679
with a distinguished record who is coming home on a
175
00:09:25.679 --> 00:09:29.960
foul night, with visibility almost zero, dead tired after correcting
176
00:09:29.960 --> 00:09:31.200
two hundred term papers.
177
00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:35.039
I can stand the gaff and you can't. No, sir, dead,
178
00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:37.600
I thank you and I admire you.
179
00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:39.279
But I hope to God I'm enough of a man
180
00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:41.559
not to hide behind my father's pants.
181
00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:43.559
You better think of it as your mother's skirts.
182
00:09:44.600 --> 00:09:47.080
Your mother couldn't care less what happens to me, But
183
00:09:47.120 --> 00:09:50.639
you're a different story. You get in big trouble over this,
184
00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:54.720
and it could kill her worse still driver over that edge.
185
00:09:55.320 --> 00:09:56.639
We both worry about it.
186
00:09:56.639 --> 00:10:00.919
But Dad, I don't argue the way it's going to be.
187
00:10:02.279 --> 00:10:04.240
You just let me handle it, and you keep your
188
00:10:04.279 --> 00:10:08.080
mouth shut no matter what happens. I don't know what
189
00:10:08.159 --> 00:10:10.440
to say. I'll tell you what you're going to say.
190
00:10:12.200 --> 00:10:17.039
Nothing, nothing to anyone but mom, least of all to
191
00:10:17.159 --> 00:10:17.639
your mother.
192
00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:24.759
Okay, Dad, if that's the way you want it. Oh,
193
00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:27.600
how can I thank you? You're some kind of a guy.
194
00:10:27.759 --> 00:10:31.759
No, no, no, no, David, just the most sensible way
195
00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:35.960
out of a bad situation. I'd better get down to
196
00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:39.679
the police. Don't wait up by maybe a while.
197
00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:47.320
Already. Oh you got the keys? Sorry right here, and
198
00:10:47.519 --> 00:10:51.000
thanks then for everything. This will all work out for
199
00:10:51.080 --> 00:10:56.120
the best. Oh, I think, guy, your mother moving abound.
200
00:10:56.360 --> 00:10:59.120
If she comes down, what do I say? What we've
201
00:10:59.240 --> 00:11:01.000
agreed on is the truth.
202
00:11:02.159 --> 00:11:04.440
But I've gone to the precinct house to report that
203
00:11:04.480 --> 00:11:06.159
I'm a hit and run driver.
204
00:11:06.120 --> 00:11:10.240
Right right. I'll never forget what you're doing for me,
205
00:11:10.559 --> 00:11:14.360
on for your mother, for all of us.
206
00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:18.639
Grant that you No, Mom, it's me David.
207
00:11:19.600 --> 00:11:21.960
Oh, I thought I heard your father come home a
208
00:11:21.960 --> 00:11:22.720
little while ago.
209
00:11:23.279 --> 00:11:24.840
What are you doing at the front door?
210
00:11:25.360 --> 00:11:28.360
Why yuah, I better come down.
211
00:11:29.159 --> 00:11:34.879
What's going on? I heard voices, angry voices.
212
00:11:36.240 --> 00:11:38.919
That was that in me, not angry. We were just
213
00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:40.120
discussing something.
214
00:11:40.720 --> 00:11:45.679
Then where's Grant now? Yes? I heard a door slam?
215
00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:46.679
Did he go out again?
216
00:11:47.919 --> 00:11:48.200
Yes?
217
00:11:49.639 --> 00:11:52.399
Not another woman? Not two in one night.
218
00:11:53.080 --> 00:11:55.799
Why don't you give him a break once he was
219
00:11:55.840 --> 00:11:58.000
at the college correcting papers.
220
00:11:58.519 --> 00:11:59.879
Then where's he off to now?
221
00:12:00.960 --> 00:12:03.679
Mom, it's kind of damp in the hall. Let's go
222
00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:05.000
into the living room and sit down.
223
00:12:05.240 --> 00:12:08.320
Don't tell me he's finally taken off for good with
224
00:12:08.360 --> 00:12:09.799
one of his bed partners.
225
00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:11.240
Oh, mother, I have a heart.
226
00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:13.679
Why can't you see what a right guy Dad is?
227
00:12:14.679 --> 00:12:16.200
Maybe I've known him too long?
228
00:12:17.399 --> 00:12:19.639
So what Aaron took him out of the house again
229
00:12:19.679 --> 00:12:21.279
At four twenty in the morning.
230
00:12:23.159 --> 00:12:28.759
He's gone to the local precinct to confess to a
231
00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:29.399
hit and run.
232
00:12:37.240 --> 00:12:40.919
Yes, madam, I understand. I'll have some officers on the
233
00:12:40.919 --> 00:12:45.559
way immediately. Well, these are experts on the bomb squad,
234
00:12:47.159 --> 00:12:48.919
Oh yes, ma'am, or the latest equipment.
235
00:12:49.759 --> 00:12:50.399
Thank you, ma'am.
236
00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:54.600
We do our best at the police department full moontime.
237
00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:55.519
Again, I'll tell.
238
00:12:55.480 --> 00:12:56.720
Him, Oh, here he is.
239
00:12:57.159 --> 00:12:59.519
The crazies are out on the broom to Knight. That
240
00:12:59.639 --> 00:13:02.480
was some just saw a UFO land in her backyard.
241
00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:04.200
How was he hitting?
242
00:13:04.279 --> 00:13:04.480
Run?
243
00:13:04.519 --> 00:13:04.720
Oh?
244
00:13:04.799 --> 00:13:05.480
No, sweats.
245
00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:08.039
Some old guinos stumbled off the curb, got his rear
246
00:13:08.120 --> 00:13:10.879
encreased and they took him to Saint Elizabeth's. Anything on
247
00:13:10.919 --> 00:13:12.240
the general bulletin.
248
00:13:12.320 --> 00:13:16.440
Not small stuff, muggy In the second precincts, it's a
249
00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:18.519
gas station all over in a fith. I want to
250
00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:24.440
hear something know that's a twelfth ah nothing a code to.
251
00:13:24.440 --> 00:13:25.120
Will see the man.
252
00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:27.919
Some citizen reports a smell of gas and there's a
253
00:13:27.960 --> 00:13:33.159
propping house. Possible suicide. Smiling with our brains? What's up
254
00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:36.000
your hand? As a hubcat? A clue from the scene
255
00:13:36.039 --> 00:13:36.720
of the hit and run?
256
00:13:37.039 --> 00:13:37.879
When they have a looking.
257
00:13:40.360 --> 00:13:44.639
English make how are they from a holly or some
258
00:13:44.759 --> 00:13:46.759
sport card like that found on the scene.
259
00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:49.679
Uh huh not seventy five yards away? No proof it
260
00:13:49.679 --> 00:13:51.480
had anything to do with the hit and run.
261
00:13:51.840 --> 00:13:53.320
How's the victim condition fair?
262
00:13:53.360 --> 00:13:55.720
When the ambulance picked him up, he only got struck
263
00:13:55.759 --> 00:13:56.799
a glancing glow.
264
00:13:57.519 --> 00:14:01.279
That still don't make one. Never mind the perpetrator. I
265
00:14:01.279 --> 00:14:01.960
want to brought in.
266
00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:04.120
Pall so do I, But it may be a little rough.
267
00:14:04.679 --> 00:14:06.879
Even if we find a car that belongs to it,
268
00:14:06.919 --> 00:14:09.480
doesn't prove it was lost. Hitting the victim could have
269
00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:12.399
been loose and just fallen off. So you think we
270
00:14:12.440 --> 00:14:15.200
don't make the guy? And my educated guess is.
271
00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:18.759
If the odds are not so high? Yeah, Brandy, what
272
00:14:18.919 --> 00:14:21.679
isn't you wouldn't say?
273
00:14:23.200 --> 00:14:23.639
Right with you?
274
00:14:23.720 --> 00:14:23.879
Now?
275
00:14:23.960 --> 00:14:29.440
Huh? Well how about that? Yeah?
276
00:14:29.480 --> 00:14:34.519
Yeah, bring right in? Educated guess? Uh I was wrong,
277
00:14:34.679 --> 00:14:38.159
couldn't be wrong. Guy named Williams just came to the
278
00:14:38.200 --> 00:14:40.200
desk and confessed to mak him the hit and run.
279
00:14:41.080 --> 00:14:44.000
He's on the way in. You and he should get
280
00:14:44.039 --> 00:14:47.960
on together. Just andy, guys a college professor.
281
00:14:53.240 --> 00:14:56.360
Your father hits someone with the sports car tonight.
282
00:14:56.679 --> 00:14:58.000
But that's impossible.
283
00:14:58.360 --> 00:15:01.200
How can you say that, mom, because he wasn't driving
284
00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:02.120
that car tonight.
285
00:15:02.559 --> 00:15:04.159
How do you know you didn't see him leave?
286
00:15:04.559 --> 00:15:08.039
No, but I was awake when he drove in, and
287
00:15:08.120 --> 00:15:11.559
I could swear I know he was driving the station wagon.
288
00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:21.720
A father's sacrifice for his son, surely a noble, if
289
00:15:21.799 --> 00:15:26.360
misguided gesture. The question, of course, is should a young
290
00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:31.480
man or anyone be encouraged to evade responsibility, and will
291
00:15:31.480 --> 00:15:36.399
the simple act of altruism remain just that we'll find
292
00:15:36.399 --> 00:15:52.600
out shortly when Mystery Theater returns with Act two. A
293
00:15:52.639 --> 00:15:56.039
precinct house in a large city, even at the best
294
00:15:56.080 --> 00:15:59.440
of times, is never the most prepossessing spot.
295
00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:02.120
In the dog hours of the morning.
296
00:16:02.440 --> 00:16:07.799
Dusty dingy, tired paint peeling from the walls, half empty
297
00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:12.840
coffee containers with cigarette butts floating in them. It's certainly
298
00:16:13.240 --> 00:16:17.480
one of the most depressing times, or so Grand feels
299
00:16:17.960 --> 00:16:20.120
as he dictates his full confession.
300
00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:23.960
It was only when I was putting the car away
301
00:16:23.960 --> 00:16:26.200
in the garage and I noticed a dent in the
302
00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:28.440
fender and found that one of the hubcaps was missing.
303
00:16:29.360 --> 00:16:31.799
But I began to realize with horror that I might
304
00:16:31.799 --> 00:16:35.799
have hid an animal and a possum or something. It
305
00:16:35.879 --> 00:16:37.240
never occurred to me that it might have been a
306
00:16:37.320 --> 00:16:40.799
human being. Well, I would have returned right away, but
307
00:16:40.919 --> 00:16:45.399
my wife, who has not been well recently, well, she
308
00:16:46.200 --> 00:16:48.600
was up. She was waiting for me, and I didn't
309
00:16:48.600 --> 00:16:51.879
want to alarmor, and so I coaxed her back to bed.
310
00:16:51.679 --> 00:16:54.039
And to sleep, and I came here just as soon
311
00:16:54.039 --> 00:16:59.039
as I could. And this was what time, profession, almost
312
00:16:59.080 --> 00:17:02.759
exactly two o'clock. And you can fix the time.
313
00:17:02.759 --> 00:17:05.039
Because you were listening to Long Jack on the car
314
00:17:05.160 --> 00:17:06.960
radio and he was signing a high.
315
00:17:06.759 --> 00:17:11.200
You like acid rock, mister Williams, I beg your pardon.
316
00:17:11.319 --> 00:17:13.680
You know, the big heart beat, loud enough to blow
317
00:17:13.720 --> 00:17:14.160
your mind.
318
00:17:14.440 --> 00:17:16.000
Oh no, no, no, I don't.
319
00:17:16.240 --> 00:17:19.440
Uh well that's long Jack's bag. It's most of what
320
00:17:19.480 --> 00:17:22.720
he plays, you know. I didn't figure you'd dig his scene.
321
00:17:23.720 --> 00:17:25.240
Yeah, well I didn't.
322
00:17:26.119 --> 00:17:28.160
I turned on the radio to keep me awake, not
323
00:17:28.319 --> 00:17:32.640
for music appreciation. As a matter of fact, I remember
324
00:17:32.680 --> 00:17:34.799
the last number he was playing just before he signed
325
00:17:34.839 --> 00:17:38.440
off was easy to Love, and I wouldn't call that
326
00:17:38.559 --> 00:17:40.640
exactly contemporary.
327
00:17:40.759 --> 00:17:43.000
The main point is that you made the turn at
328
00:17:43.000 --> 00:17:46.799
two o'clock, you felt a jarring feeling, which giants with
329
00:17:46.920 --> 00:17:51.359
our information, right, right, so right, Lieutenant, I see victim
330
00:17:51.480 --> 00:17:55.240
left Franny's Restaurant, five one, eight Hills Point, rode out
331
00:17:55.279 --> 00:17:59.559
approximately two minutes to two am. Because victim was discovered
332
00:17:59.559 --> 00:18:03.920
by Joe George Bates post office employee. Some two minutes later,
333
00:18:04.240 --> 00:18:07.000
he heard a car drive away, but due to adverse
334
00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:10.039
weather conditions, could not see it or make any identification.
335
00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:15.279
Victim was Dominic Capello, unemployed sixty one years old.
336
00:18:15.359 --> 00:18:18.160
I hope he's all right. He's at the hospital. We
337
00:18:18.200 --> 00:18:20.960
don't know the extent of the injuries, yet.
338
00:18:20.839 --> 00:18:23.559
I feel terrible, poor old man.
339
00:18:23.640 --> 00:18:27.640
I'll Professor Williams, let me point out something from your story.
340
00:18:27.640 --> 00:18:30.160
In our evidence, there is no clear cut evidence that
341
00:18:30.240 --> 00:18:33.319
you did hit this man. If I were you. Before
342
00:18:33.359 --> 00:18:35.000
I went any further, I get a lawyer. Oh, there's
343
00:18:35.039 --> 00:18:36.000
no need for a lawyer.
344
00:18:36.039 --> 00:18:40.039
I'm quite willing to face my responsibilities. If you will
345
00:18:40.079 --> 00:18:42.519
prepare a statement for me, I'd be very glad to
346
00:18:42.559 --> 00:18:42.960
side it.
347
00:18:43.680 --> 00:18:46.640
All right, I'll leave you here with patrol and faster
348
00:18:46.720 --> 00:18:48.960
who'll type up a statement? You just check it over
349
00:18:49.000 --> 00:18:50.759
when he's finished, and then if you still want it,
350
00:18:50.880 --> 00:18:54.400
you can sign. I'll be right back, Lieutenant, see him
351
00:18:54.400 --> 00:19:00.680
in an outside. Okay, all right, right?
352
00:19:00.720 --> 00:19:04.799
So what's fighting you? I think the guys lieing about what?
353
00:19:05.039 --> 00:19:07.359
For Pete's sake? Why would he lie to cover up,
354
00:19:07.880 --> 00:19:10.680
cover up whole? How do I know his daughter, son, wife?
355
00:19:11.559 --> 00:19:13.200
Why would he want to take the rap for that?
356
00:19:13.480 --> 00:19:16.319
Ah, that's what it takes and digging to find out.
357
00:19:16.559 --> 00:19:20.119
Oh boy, fifteen precincts in this city for the secred
358
00:19:20.160 --> 00:19:22.960
divisions not to get stuck with you. You want to
359
00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:24.880
make a federal case out of one stinky little hit
360
00:19:24.880 --> 00:19:26.599
and run where the guy comes in like a good
361
00:19:26.599 --> 00:19:29.000
citizen and confesses and just once.
362
00:19:28.880 --> 00:19:30.599
Make the job easy. What do you gotta do?
363
00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:32.759
Go on for trouble, our lieutenant. It isn't just a
364
00:19:32.799 --> 00:19:35.759
few small discrepancy. He's the whole psychology of the man.
365
00:19:35.880 --> 00:19:39.559
Hi, college you, that's all I need, the new breed
366
00:19:40.599 --> 00:19:42.759
now look for toold me. Will you for once just
367
00:19:42.799 --> 00:19:44.799
forget the college education and get back in there and
368
00:19:44.799 --> 00:19:52.880
have that statement signed, sealed and delivered and stop making waves?
369
00:19:55.240 --> 00:19:58.640
Mother? Please? Will you let well enough alone.
370
00:19:58.920 --> 00:20:02.200
I've kept quiet about too many things for far too long,
371
00:20:02.640 --> 00:20:05.920
but I can't let this go. I know your father
372
00:20:06.079 --> 00:20:07.920
wasn't driving the sports car tonight.
373
00:20:08.680 --> 00:20:11.119
Okay, Okay, so he wasn't.
374
00:20:11.759 --> 00:20:14.319
So you know what that means, My darling, you want
375
00:20:14.319 --> 00:20:14.799
to get.
376
00:20:14.599 --> 00:20:15.319
Me locked up?
377
00:20:15.519 --> 00:20:18.200
No, of course not. But why should it come to that.
378
00:20:18.599 --> 00:20:20.839
You don't know yet if you really hit anyone or
379
00:20:20.960 --> 00:20:21.519
hurt them.
380
00:20:21.880 --> 00:20:23.079
I'm not kidding myself.
381
00:20:23.359 --> 00:20:25.759
When I pulled away, I tried to tell myself nothing
382
00:20:25.839 --> 00:20:28.200
had happened. But now it's all on the table, and
383
00:20:28.279 --> 00:20:31.799
I know that guy got hurt. And I'm scared. I'm
384
00:20:31.880 --> 00:20:33.160
scared of what they could do to me.
385
00:20:33.519 --> 00:20:36.799
Darling, there's nothing to be scared of in being honest
386
00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:37.960
owning up.
387
00:20:38.400 --> 00:20:39.519
It was an accident.
388
00:20:40.160 --> 00:20:42.039
David, Please, will you let me go.
389
00:20:42.799 --> 00:20:44.079
I'm only trying to help.
390
00:20:44.480 --> 00:20:48.079
Oh, sure, some help you are. I don't understand you, mother.
391
00:20:48.440 --> 00:20:50.920
Look what Dad's willing to do for me, and all
392
00:20:50.960 --> 00:20:53.039
you want is for me to turn myself in.
393
00:20:53.240 --> 00:20:54.920
I want you to be honest.
394
00:20:55.680 --> 00:20:56.640
This is for laughs.
395
00:20:57.039 --> 00:21:00.799
I mean, look, Dad went down there to take the
396
00:21:00.880 --> 00:21:03.279
blame so he could protect you as well as me
397
00:21:04.160 --> 00:21:09.319
protect me. Yes, he he said it would kill you
398
00:21:09.359 --> 00:21:10.440
if anything happened to me.
399
00:21:11.599 --> 00:21:16.960
Grant was worried about me. Yes, don't you ever believe it?
400
00:21:17.880 --> 00:21:20.279
Mom? How can you be so bitter? Look what he's
401
00:21:20.279 --> 00:21:20.960
done for me.
402
00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:23.480
He's got to have an angle.
403
00:21:23.640 --> 00:21:26.400
That's unfair. I know you and Dad have problems. I'm
404
00:21:26.400 --> 00:21:28.480
not going to try to make any judgments about oh.
405
00:21:28.319 --> 00:21:29.000
But you do.
406
00:21:29.160 --> 00:21:32.240
You make them every day in spite of yourself and
407
00:21:32.400 --> 00:21:33.400
always against me.
408
00:21:34.279 --> 00:21:34.559
Mother.
409
00:21:34.759 --> 00:21:36.559
I've had just about as much of this as I
410
00:21:36.559 --> 00:21:36.960
can take.
411
00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:37.319
You know.
412
00:21:37.640 --> 00:21:40.720
The curious thing is that I know you love me
413
00:21:40.880 --> 00:21:41.920
in spite of everything.
414
00:21:42.640 --> 00:21:43.880
Just give me a moment.
415
00:21:44.400 --> 00:21:44.920
What is it?
416
00:21:46.279 --> 00:21:49.079
I was damn much chance do I? I spend so
417
00:21:49.160 --> 00:21:55.640
much time upstairs with myself, very lonely, with just yourself.
418
00:21:57.240 --> 00:22:00.920
I'm a woman not quite able to cope, a woman
419
00:22:00.960 --> 00:22:05.960
with hallucinations? Is that's something out of Dickens, living among
420
00:22:06.200 --> 00:22:11.839
cobwebs of near insanity and the ghosts of what never was? Mother, Look,
421
00:22:11.880 --> 00:22:15.480
it's time I told you. Time I try to tell somebody.
422
00:22:17.160 --> 00:22:25.720
I am a prisoner with a life sentence because because
423
00:22:25.759 --> 00:22:30.160
I can't stop loving. To everyone else, I'm the ghost.
424
00:22:31.160 --> 00:22:34.920
But the truth is that the real corruption lies rotting
425
00:22:34.960 --> 00:22:40.720
in that very man we both love, David. I don't
426
00:22:40.759 --> 00:22:44.279
want to ever see you become like him. I would
427
00:22:44.359 --> 00:22:47.039
rather see you dead. That's why I want you to
428
00:22:47.079 --> 00:22:49.440
take your own troubles on your own shoulders.
429
00:22:50.000 --> 00:22:53.440
Mom, don't you think you ought to lie down? I mean,
430
00:22:53.440 --> 00:22:53.799
you're not.
431
00:22:53.960 --> 00:22:56.920
It's easy, isn't it to find a scapegoat to make
432
00:22:57.000 --> 00:23:03.160
someone else responsible. Poor man wasted Marian Williams married to
433
00:23:03.200 --> 00:23:08.880
that intelligent, handsome man, respected by his faculty, worshiped by
434
00:23:08.880 --> 00:23:11.759
his students, particularly the girls.
435
00:23:12.279 --> 00:23:14.839
Oh yes, particularly the girls.
436
00:23:15.799 --> 00:23:17.119
Oh mother for pizza.
437
00:23:17.200 --> 00:23:20.400
No this time, you don't stop me. I loved him
438
00:23:20.440 --> 00:23:23.200
so much. I forgave all those early affairs the young
439
00:23:23.319 --> 00:23:27.200
children invaded cheapened. I saved him. I went to those girls,
440
00:23:27.279 --> 00:23:30.440
I begged them off, and after you came, the pattern continued.
441
00:23:30.720 --> 00:23:33.319
I began to retreat farther and farther.
442
00:23:33.680 --> 00:23:34.440
I had the money.
443
00:23:34.480 --> 00:23:34.880
That's why I.
444
00:23:34.839 --> 00:23:37.359
Could always keep him, and I couldn't stop loving him.
445
00:23:37.400 --> 00:23:40.440
That was the saddest part, wasn't it, David, What I
446
00:23:40.559 --> 00:23:43.000
was the one who ruined him. Without me to cover
447
00:23:43.119 --> 00:23:45.279
for him, he'd have been found not long ago.
448
00:23:45.400 --> 00:23:46.240
So you see, I.
449
00:23:46.200 --> 00:23:46.960
Don't know what you mean.
450
00:23:47.039 --> 00:23:47.279
Mom.
451
00:23:48.000 --> 00:23:51.559
I can't discuss what you've been talking about, but that
452
00:23:51.640 --> 00:23:54.079
has nothing to do with what Dad is doing at
453
00:23:54.079 --> 00:23:58.000
this moment. I'd been drinking. I couldn't have gone to
454
00:23:58.039 --> 00:23:59.839
the police. Dad can handle this.
455
00:24:00.119 --> 00:24:03.640
Please leave it alone and let you spoil yourself. Just
456
00:24:03.680 --> 00:24:14.000
as he did. The rot spread so fast, David, the.
457
00:24:14.519 --> 00:24:17.519
Incident was totally minor in mind till I returned home
458
00:24:17.599 --> 00:24:23.279
found at my front fender. Well, I've read this through, Lieutenant,
459
00:24:23.400 --> 00:24:25.759
and there's nothing here that isn't consonant with my.
460
00:24:27.400 --> 00:24:28.640
Earlier confession.
461
00:24:28.759 --> 00:24:31.480
It's say formnoy, professor, I prefer to have you read
462
00:24:31.480 --> 00:24:34.039
it aloud before you sign the statement. If you insist
463
00:24:34.319 --> 00:24:37.400
it's better, Professor Williams, there is much more go ahead.
464
00:24:37.480 --> 00:24:39.599
It's quite evident that I must have been responsible for
465
00:24:39.640 --> 00:24:42.759
striking with my automobile one Dominic Capello sixty one at
466
00:24:42.759 --> 00:24:44.160
approximately two am and.
467
00:24:44.160 --> 00:24:44.799
The above date.
468
00:24:44.880 --> 00:24:47.279
This statement is a true and on solicited confession of
469
00:24:47.319 --> 00:24:48.400
my responsibility.
470
00:24:48.400 --> 00:24:52.440
And excuse me, Lieutenant. Have you warned the professor again
471
00:24:52.440 --> 00:24:55.559
that he should have legal representation or I don't need it.
472
00:24:56.000 --> 00:24:58.640
I have to warn you so that you may The
473
00:24:58.720 --> 00:25:02.200
man was hit just died the hospital without regaining consciousness.
474
00:25:02.880 --> 00:25:06.119
It isn't just an accident anymore. It could be hom signed.
475
00:25:06.720 --> 00:25:12.039
Oh come on, ritz Man slaughter, but it does change things. Professor.
476
00:25:12.039 --> 00:25:14.200
If you sign this, I'll have to book you. You
477
00:25:14.240 --> 00:25:15.640
should have a lawyer before you sign.
478
00:25:16.480 --> 00:25:19.759
Well, nonsense, iety, I want to sign. Let's not waste
479
00:25:19.799 --> 00:25:22.640
any more time and then I'll call my lawyer.
480
00:25:23.200 --> 00:25:26.079
All right, tak a rich I would you have witnesses soon?
481
00:25:27.920 --> 00:25:30.119
You'd had to be thinker printed, Professor. Whatever you say,
482
00:25:30.160 --> 00:25:33.480
Lieutenant Foster will take you to a phone first, according
483
00:25:33.480 --> 00:25:34.400
a lawyer about bail.
484
00:25:34.519 --> 00:25:36.920
Thank you and thank you, Detective Rizo.
485
00:25:37.359 --> 00:25:38.160
Don't mention it.
486
00:25:40.160 --> 00:25:41.759
All right, now, Riza, don't say it.
487
00:25:41.839 --> 00:25:44.440
I've got to something's out of kilter. I never saw
488
00:25:44.480 --> 00:25:46.559
a man so anxious to get arrested in my life.
489
00:25:46.599 --> 00:25:49.240
He just wants to get it over, waiting get back
490
00:25:49.279 --> 00:25:49.759
to bed.
491
00:25:49.839 --> 00:25:50.640
Now, who does.
492
00:25:50.519 --> 00:25:54.480
It's wrong, Lieutenant, it's wrong. A cool, collected individual like
493
00:25:54.559 --> 00:25:57.519
that doesn't go around hitting panic buttons and taking a
494
00:25:57.599 --> 00:25:59.119
powder out of a bad situation.
495
00:25:59.240 --> 00:26:01.400
Don't drop it, Layoff.
496
00:26:02.119 --> 00:26:05.039
Don't give me any more of the psychology. I'm just
497
00:26:05.079 --> 00:26:07.079
a plane flat four who came up through the ranks
498
00:26:07.119 --> 00:26:08.079
by sticking to one thing.
499
00:26:08.200 --> 00:26:08.519
Facts.
500
00:26:09.400 --> 00:26:11.319
Let's give the guy a vout of thanks. Coming in
501
00:26:12.640 --> 00:26:14.640
my psychology is we leave it?
502
00:26:14.799 --> 00:26:15.240
Lay Huh?
503
00:26:16.279 --> 00:26:28.240
You got to other hunches, save them for the ponies. Okay, okay.
504
00:26:29.880 --> 00:26:32.880
What's on the bullet rates, same old noise, none especial.
505
00:26:33.039 --> 00:26:36.039
They picked up that mugger in the second or Peter,
506
00:26:36.599 --> 00:26:40.279
what's happening with Professor Williams? Huh Williams Williams? Of professor
507
00:26:40.319 --> 00:26:42.079
you remember the guy we spent most of the night with.
508
00:26:42.359 --> 00:26:45.079
Oh yeah, yeah, Well he got finger printed and his
509
00:26:45.160 --> 00:26:48.400
lawyer sprung and he's gone home. Hey yeah, look at
510
00:26:48.400 --> 00:26:51.880
this propendent cont that code to see the man in
511
00:26:51.960 --> 00:26:55.119
the twelfth. That suicide was no false alarm. There was51200:26:55.160 --> 00:26:59.400
a doa. Only now it looks like homicide. They figured51300:26:59.440 --> 00:27:02.440
the girl was strangle before the gas was turned.51400:27:02.640 --> 00:27:04.519
What do I care about some dam and the twelve?51500:27:04.599 --> 00:27:07.079
The seventh is my baby. Let the twelve worry about51600:27:07.079 --> 00:27:07.759
their headaches.51700:27:08.039 --> 00:27:17.559
I'm telling you, Marian, for the last time, you stay51800:27:17.559 --> 00:27:18.440
out of this horizon.51900:27:18.559 --> 00:27:22.200
You what grant kill me? You did that a long52000:27:22.319 --> 00:27:23.279
time ago.52100:27:23.519 --> 00:27:26.039
The only reason I clung to any shred of life52200:27:26.240 --> 00:27:27.480
was because of David.52300:27:27.400 --> 00:27:29.559
The fine little mama's boy you made out of him.52400:27:30.079 --> 00:27:31.960
The moment my back has turned, he runs to you.52500:27:32.039 --> 00:27:33.480
He blurts out the whole thing.52600:27:33.599 --> 00:27:34.480
You know he didn't.52700:27:34.759 --> 00:27:37.839
I figured out what happened myself. I saw you drive52800:27:37.880 --> 00:27:39.119
away in the station wagon.52900:27:39.559 --> 00:27:41.400
Can't you mind your own business?53000:27:41.480 --> 00:27:44.680
Because I don't trust you and I want David to53100:27:44.720 --> 00:27:47.000
be a man and stand on his own feet.53200:27:47.119 --> 00:27:50.119
Will you get something through that bird brain of yours.53300:27:50.640 --> 00:27:54.640
The man who was hit is dead. David had been drinking.53400:27:55.680 --> 00:27:58.519
You won't be emancipating your son. You'll be burying him53500:27:58.519 --> 00:27:59.720
in jail. Is that what you want?53600:28:00.119 --> 00:28:02.839
You're hurting me Grant, what do you want?53700:28:03.759 --> 00:28:05.359
Or will you keep your mouth shut and allow me53800:28:05.400 --> 00:28:06.759
to do something for my own son.53900:28:06.880 --> 00:28:08.039
Please let me go.54000:28:08.240 --> 00:28:10.680
Until I get your promise to leave things as they are.54100:28:12.799 --> 00:28:17.000
I don't want David to go to jail, all right,54200:28:17.079 --> 00:28:23.160
then I can crust you. Yes, I only wish I54300:28:23.240 --> 00:28:27.759
trusted you. You've never done one unselfish thing in your life, Grant,54400:28:28.400 --> 00:28:30.880
I only wish I knew what it is you expect54500:28:30.960 --> 00:28:32.960
to gain this time.54600:28:38.599 --> 00:28:41.839
A torturing dilemma for a mother and a father.54700:28:42.839 --> 00:28:46.119
Is the father right to protect his son or the54800:28:46.200 --> 00:28:48.920
mother to feel it would be better for her son54900:28:49.000 --> 00:28:53.640
to take his medicine. So many other questions pose themselves,55000:28:54.400 --> 00:28:58.839
questions which will be answered when Mystery Theory returns shortly55100:28:59.359 --> 00:29:15.680
with acts those questions I mentioned. Of course, Marian Williams55200:29:15.720 --> 00:29:19.519
would feel herself hurt by her husband's interests in.55300:29:19.480 --> 00:29:22.599
Other women, or is that all in her mind?55400:29:23.000 --> 00:29:28.799
A figmund fantasized by her obvious shaky mental stability. But55500:29:28.920 --> 00:29:32.880
then there's also the doubt of Detective Sergeant Ritzo.55600:29:33.720 --> 00:29:35.200
Let's follow him for a moment.55700:29:43.119 --> 00:29:46.960
Yes, as Professor Williams at home, No, he has classes55800:29:47.000 --> 00:29:48.440
this morning at the Universe.55900:29:48.200 --> 00:29:49.839
Oh yeah, yeah, that's right, that's right.56000:29:50.119 --> 00:29:53.039
Excuse me, I'm a detective ritso this is my shield.56100:29:53.240 --> 00:29:55.720
I wonder if I could talk to missus Williams for56200:29:55.759 --> 00:29:56.160
a moment.56300:29:57.160 --> 00:30:00.880
I'm sorry, but my mother she's still asleep. She's kind56400:30:00.880 --> 00:30:02.000
of an invalid.56500:30:02.039 --> 00:30:03.759
Oh and then, oh well, and I wouldn't think of56600:30:03.839 --> 00:30:06.720
disturbing her. You're Professor Williams's son.56700:30:06.880 --> 00:30:07.400
Huh.56800:30:07.480 --> 00:30:09.319
Yes, Well, then how about you take the chain off56900:30:09.359 --> 00:30:11.039
the door and I step in and ask a couple57000:30:11.079 --> 00:30:11.680
of questions.57100:30:12.720 --> 00:30:13.960
Have you got a warrant?57200:30:14.519 --> 00:30:19.240
Have a warrant? What would I want a warrant for? Look,57300:30:19.279 --> 00:30:20.880
don't let me be in a cop scare you?57400:30:20.960 --> 00:30:21.799
Oh, I'm not scared.57500:30:22.079 --> 00:30:24.319
You always keep a chain on when you open the57600:30:24.359 --> 00:30:24.799
front door.57700:30:24.960 --> 00:30:25.079
No.57800:30:26.799 --> 00:30:30.720
Look, I'm sorry, you're wasting your time. My father told57900:30:30.759 --> 00:30:32.599
me not to answer any questions.58000:30:32.640 --> 00:30:36.000
Oh oh, then you were you know about the accident58100:30:36.079 --> 00:30:39.920
last night? Huh I yes, but I'm sorry.58200:30:39.920 --> 00:30:42.400
I've got to close the door. You drive, kid, Sir.58300:30:42.559 --> 00:30:46.440
Your foot's in the way. Oh yeah, so it is. Anyway,58400:30:46.480 --> 00:30:48.839
I figure you drive since you got a license.58500:30:48.920 --> 00:30:50.599
I looked it up in the bureau.58600:30:50.640 --> 00:30:53.400
Would you move your foot? Please? Hold it?58700:30:53.559 --> 00:30:54.240
Just a minute.58800:30:54.799 --> 00:30:58.279
Here's your newspaper. You might want to read about the accident,58900:30:58.400 --> 00:31:01.559
page four, you know, check out the details. Thanks for59000:31:01.599 --> 00:31:05.200
the paper, sure, yeah, will you let it go please?59100:31:05.680 --> 00:31:08.920
You were not driving yourself last night, were you?59200:31:09.880 --> 00:31:10.920
I'll take the paper.59300:31:12.319 --> 00:31:24.480
Yeah, And now I know my hunch is right. My mom?59400:31:24.839 --> 00:31:33.359
Come on, where are you? Hello, David, David, where were you?59500:31:33.599 --> 00:31:34.000
Oh?59600:31:34.000 --> 00:31:35.960
I'm sorry, I was just bringing down mother's lunch.59700:31:36.000 --> 00:31:39.880
Trade should never answered the phone, any mail, any phone calls.59800:31:40.559 --> 00:31:44.240
Just a couple of ads. No phone, Oh there was. Well,59900:31:44.559 --> 00:31:47.720
we had a visitor who a detective Ritzo.60000:31:49.039 --> 00:31:49.759
What did he want?60100:31:50.559 --> 00:31:52.799
He said, he wanted to talk to you. Then when60200:31:52.799 --> 00:31:54.400
I said you weren't home, you wanted to.60300:31:54.319 --> 00:31:54.960
Talk to mom?60400:31:55.240 --> 00:31:56.200
Well you didn't let him.60500:31:56.279 --> 00:32:00.480
No, no, she was asleep. So he said he wanted60600:32:00.480 --> 00:32:01.759
to ask me some questions.60700:32:01.920 --> 00:32:03.400
Lord, it's all right.60800:32:03.559 --> 00:32:05.559
I didn't let him in and I didn't tell him anything.60900:32:05.599 --> 00:32:08.400
Well, I hope you didn't. He had no right, no, no, no,61000:32:08.400 --> 00:32:09.079
no right to.61100:32:10.559 --> 00:32:13.000
David. David, you're sure you didn't.61200:32:13.160 --> 00:32:14.559
No, No, I didn't say anything.61300:32:14.599 --> 00:32:17.960
But I'm scared. I think he knows.61400:32:18.000 --> 00:32:20.400
I think he's guessed at No, listen to me, David,61500:32:21.000 --> 00:32:22.839
I don't care what he knows or what he suspects.61600:32:22.920 --> 00:32:27.440
He can't prove anything if we just stick to our story. Now,61700:32:27.480 --> 00:32:30.960
you get this straight, David, I'll kill you if you61800:32:31.119 --> 00:32:31.839
let me down.61900:32:33.240 --> 00:32:38.279
No, No, I didn't mean that. I'm just thinking about you.62000:32:38.359 --> 00:32:41.119
I don't want your life spoiled before it begins. Now62100:32:41.240 --> 00:32:41.799
you just.62200:32:41.880 --> 00:32:47.079
Remember a man has been killed. The real truth comes out.62300:32:47.079 --> 00:32:51.759
You're in trouble, bad trouble, I know, just so you62400:32:51.799 --> 00:32:53.920
remember both you and your mother.62500:32:54.279 --> 00:32:57.519
Okay, but supposing that detective turns up.62600:32:57.480 --> 00:33:01.119
Again, he won't you just leave that to me. Just62700:33:01.359 --> 00:33:03.400
leave everything to me.62800:33:04.319 --> 00:33:06.759
I will, And don't think I'm not grateful.62900:33:07.359 --> 00:33:07.519
Oh.63000:33:07.559 --> 00:33:09.279
I don't know how I can ever pay you back.63100:33:09.400 --> 00:33:12.000
You just sit tight and stick to our story. That's63200:33:12.240 --> 00:33:14.039
all the payment I need.63300:33:21.000 --> 00:33:24.920
I quite understand, Professor. Detective Ritso exceeded as honors. I63400:33:24.960 --> 00:33:26.759
promise you he won't bother your family again.63500:33:27.079 --> 00:33:29.599
I'm sorry if I lost my tap, Lieutenant.63600:33:29.279 --> 00:33:31.960
I don't blame you, sir. You'd feel better if you63700:33:31.960 --> 00:33:33.720
can get a load of how I'm going to lose mind.63800:33:34.519 --> 00:33:38.759
It had no pressure. Detective reates our check in yet,63900:33:39.680 --> 00:33:41.559
all right, tell the Leggers rear in here on the64000:33:41.640 --> 00:33:45.839
double end, A busting right down the patrol You looking64100:33:45.839 --> 00:33:47.720
for me, lieutenant, Yeah, come on in.64200:33:47.680 --> 00:33:50.720
And close it to A.64300:33:49.799 --> 00:33:52.200
Jarvis on the desk tells me the Williams guy was64400:33:52.240 --> 00:33:53.240
on the phone having an effet.64500:33:53.359 --> 00:33:55.400
Didn't I tell you to stop making waves?64600:33:55.759 --> 00:33:55.960
Yes?64700:33:56.000 --> 00:33:56.599
Did I tell you?64800:33:56.759 --> 00:33:59.119
Though William's case was closed.64900:33:58.839 --> 00:34:00.759
It can't be closed as long as there's a.65000:34:00.759 --> 00:34:05.599
Charge up to the judge. We done our part. We65100:34:05.640 --> 00:34:07.839
have a statement in a confession. That's all we're supposed65200:34:07.880 --> 00:34:08.400
to provide.65300:34:08.480 --> 00:34:10.440
Uh huh, a phony confession?65400:34:11.719 --> 00:34:12.400
What does that mean?65500:34:12.440 --> 00:34:16.079
Now? Look, that professor has a kid around seventeen eighteen.65600:34:16.159 --> 00:34:16.679
Huh.65700:34:16.719 --> 00:34:19.360
I talked to him today. I'll lay your dollars to donuts.65800:34:19.360 --> 00:34:21.079
He was the one driving the car when that I65900:34:21.119 --> 00:34:23.639
should have any proof of that. No, but give me66000:34:23.679 --> 00:34:24.800
an hour with that kid now.66100:34:25.679 --> 00:34:29.480
E sective read so strong methods from a member of66200:34:29.519 --> 00:34:33.559
the new Breeds. I thought today's young coump was exchanging66300:34:33.599 --> 00:34:35.400
the third degree for a college degree.66400:34:35.440 --> 00:34:37.360
You know, I didn't mean anything like that. But if66500:34:37.360 --> 00:34:38.159
you just give me a.66600:34:38.199 --> 00:34:39.119
Chance to get to the bar.66700:34:40.599 --> 00:34:43.800
Why would a respected college professor, a guy as prominent66800:34:43.800 --> 00:34:46.360
in as town as he is. Why would he risk66900:34:46.440 --> 00:34:48.679
his reputation to cover up something his son did?67000:34:49.239 --> 00:34:50.559
I mean, this guy's a teacher.67100:34:51.480 --> 00:34:53.159
The last thing in the world he'd do was let67200:34:53.239 --> 00:34:55.000
his son run out on a responsibility.67300:34:55.119 --> 00:34:59.360
Yeah, that's the way I see it psychologically and psychologically.67400:35:00.199 --> 00:35:03.639
Now, let's not get tangled up with that bull again. Huh.67500:35:03.960 --> 00:35:07.079
We have a confession. Detective ritz out. Lieutenant, give me67600:35:07.119 --> 00:35:07.599
a break.67700:35:07.639 --> 00:35:09.320
I got the strongest hunt.67800:35:09.480 --> 00:35:13.039
It isn't any stronger than mine, and mine is. If67900:35:13.079 --> 00:35:15.239
you don't let this lay, like I told you, you're68000:35:15.239 --> 00:35:17.840
gonna be back in your boondoggers, walking a beat as68100:35:17.880 --> 00:35:24.159
far uptown as these city limits stretch. Okay, Detective second grade,68200:35:24.360 --> 00:35:26.159
is this case closed.68300:35:26.880 --> 00:35:30.639
Or like you say, the case is closed?68400:35:30.960 --> 00:35:37.840
Amen?68500:35:39.000 --> 00:35:39.599
In the study?68600:35:39.639 --> 00:35:39.880
Mom?68700:35:40.239 --> 00:35:40.760
You all right?68800:35:41.960 --> 00:35:44.559
I just want to talk a minute. What are you doing?68900:35:45.199 --> 00:35:48.199
Just catching up on some homework? David?69000:35:48.239 --> 00:35:51.199
That that man that detective you said came here? Are69100:35:51.239 --> 00:35:54.079
you sure all he asked you about? Was it the accident?69200:35:55.440 --> 00:35:58.039
Look? Mom, that's I mean.69300:35:58.360 --> 00:36:01.159
I promised Dad I wasn't gonna talk about it anymore.69400:36:01.320 --> 00:36:03.239
So did you it's a closed book, We're.69500:36:03.079 --> 00:36:05.480
Gonna have to open it again. Did he ask you69600:36:05.519 --> 00:36:08.559
about anything else than the accident. No, but look, David,69700:36:09.119 --> 00:36:10.280
you have got to go to.69800:36:10.239 --> 00:36:12.000
The police and tell them the truth.69900:36:12.079 --> 00:36:14.920
Now, I promised Dad, David, don't make me go.70000:36:15.280 --> 00:36:16.239
You promised him too.70100:36:16.320 --> 00:36:20.280
You don't understand everything's changed. He has to be stopped.70200:36:20.599 --> 00:36:24.400
There must be some justice. Mom, why didn't you go upstairs? Look,70300:36:24.440 --> 00:36:26.760
don't don't treat me like an invalid or worse, a70400:36:26.840 --> 00:36:30.239
half wit. Have you read the newspaper that you brought70500:36:30.320 --> 00:36:31.039
up to me today?70600:36:31.360 --> 00:36:31.400
No?70700:36:34.320 --> 00:36:36.840
Do you know a girl named Susan Rowland?70800:36:38.039 --> 00:36:40.119
Susan, Yeah, yeah, I kind of.70900:36:40.320 --> 00:36:42.679
I mean she was a class ahead of me at school.71000:36:43.159 --> 00:36:44.559
I guess I wrapped with her.71100:36:44.480 --> 00:36:46.639
Here and there, but we never dated or anything like that.71200:36:49.239 --> 00:36:53.599
That her picture, Yes, front page. What happened?71300:36:54.679 --> 00:36:59.679
Read the story and find out carefully. Then you'll know71400:37:00.559 --> 00:37:03.679
why your father is so anxious to keep you quiet.71500:37:05.159 --> 00:37:05.519
David.71600:37:05.639 --> 00:37:09.400
You're going to find out why the truth has to71700:37:09.440 --> 00:37:10.000
be told.71800:37:15.599 --> 00:37:18.360
Lieutenant Claimer there, how's everything with the top John?71900:37:18.760 --> 00:37:21.360
You know how it goes with lieutenants in the police department,72000:37:21.400 --> 00:37:22.320
from bad to worse?72100:37:22.599 --> 00:37:25.760
A little favor, George Lament, you got it? You see72200:37:25.760 --> 00:37:26.880
the DA we had.72300:37:26.760 --> 00:37:30.320
On the bulletin possible suicide. Now, definitely homicide.72400:37:30.559 --> 00:37:32.559
Patch in the morning, favor, Yeah, that's the one.72500:37:32.800 --> 00:37:36.880
Susan roll In, nineteen years old college student. We're running72600:37:36.880 --> 00:37:39.039
a routine check on all our acquaintances.72700:37:39.239 --> 00:37:40.400
You gotta make on anyone.72800:37:40.679 --> 00:37:43.760
No fingerprints all over the place, but not even a72900:37:43.800 --> 00:37:44.440
warm lead.73000:37:44.920 --> 00:37:46.239
Huh, what can I do?73100:37:46.800 --> 00:37:48.079
Well, I'm running down.73200:37:47.960 --> 00:37:51.239
Blind Alley's like in her address book is the name73300:37:51.280 --> 00:37:56.159
of a guy, Grant Williams, domiciled your precinct. She seemed73400:37:56.199 --> 00:37:58.639
to have been in one of his classes at the university.73500:37:59.039 --> 00:37:59.920
Because your spear a man.73600:38:00.159 --> 00:38:03.400
Check it out, John, I don't even have to. I'll73700:38:03.400 --> 00:38:06.559
close one lead for him. What time did your little73800:38:06.559 --> 00:38:07.519
student get strangled?73900:38:07.719 --> 00:38:11.400
Eh well, Emmy puts at around two o'clock. At one74000:38:11.559 --> 00:38:14.000
fifty five. She called her mother to say she was74100:38:14.079 --> 00:38:15.280
pregnant and the guy.74200:38:15.079 --> 00:38:16.239
Who did it was with her.74300:38:16.760 --> 00:38:19.039
She started to give his name, the connection was broken,74400:38:19.679 --> 00:38:22.920
and two fifteen a prowl corresponded to a cold too74500:38:23.039 --> 00:38:26.239
suspicion of suicide by gas. They broke in turned off74600:38:26.280 --> 00:38:28.440
the gas, but the girl had already been dead ten74700:38:28.519 --> 00:38:29.400
or fifteen minutes.74800:38:29.440 --> 00:38:34.440
So two o'clock, two o'clock. Eh well, that let's out74900:38:34.440 --> 00:38:39.280
Grant Williams two o'clock outside of town, forty five minutes away.75000:38:40.159 --> 00:38:43.679
He was involved in a traffic accident. He's already booked75100:38:44.679 --> 00:38:45.400
one down.75200:38:45.519 --> 00:38:46.320
How many to go?75300:38:47.079 --> 00:38:49.400
Thanks, George, Sorry to bother you.75400:38:57.880 --> 00:39:00.320
How long ago did he leave too late for you75500:39:00.360 --> 00:39:02.719
to stop him? I ought to kill you for this,75600:39:03.679 --> 00:39:06.679
that poor little girl. No, no, no, I didn't mean to.75700:39:08.480 --> 00:39:11.239
The little idiot refused to have an abortion. She wanted75800:39:11.239 --> 00:39:13.880
me to marry her. Marry her for heaven's sake.75900:39:14.000 --> 00:39:15.840
Oh, and divorce your melty.76000:39:15.639 --> 00:39:18.000
Marry and Marion. Please please help me.76100:39:18.480 --> 00:39:21.000
Not anymore anyway. I couldn't even if I wanted to.76200:39:21.320 --> 00:39:24.719
But David, maybe I can still stop David.76300:39:25.119 --> 00:39:27.440
If you could, you'd still have to stop me.76400:39:34.840 --> 00:39:38.239
And everything my father testified to in his statement was true,76500:39:38.800 --> 00:39:41.840
except that it was me who was driving the car,76600:39:42.039 --> 00:39:45.880
not my father. I hit that man, panicked and drove off.76700:39:46.159 --> 00:39:48.719
Oh don't look at me, and Lieutenant, I have nothing76800:39:48.719 --> 00:39:49.800
to say.76900:39:50.440 --> 00:39:54.199
You wouldn't have to read. So another boy is telling77000:39:54.239 --> 00:39:59.199
the truth. Yeah, you were right all along. I had77100:39:59.199 --> 00:40:03.920
a phone call about half thought it's all right, sergeants.77200:40:04.199 --> 00:40:09.280
Let a man, what is it? Professor Williams David.77300:40:09.360 --> 00:40:11.239
I don't want you to say one word until I've77400:40:11.239 --> 00:40:12.679
talked to you and we can get legalist.77500:40:12.719 --> 00:40:15.679
By too late, Dad, I've said everything I have to say.77600:40:16.159 --> 00:40:18.119
You don't know what you're doing the first time in77700:40:18.119 --> 00:40:22.239
my life I do. I'm taking care of myself. How77800:40:22.239 --> 00:40:25.199
could you do it? Dad, to a nice kid like Susan.77900:40:26.199 --> 00:40:28.639
I don't know what you're talking about. I can clear78000:40:28.679 --> 00:40:32.440
that up, professor. We're booking you for the murder of78100:40:32.480 --> 00:40:33.239
Susan Rowland.78200:40:33.440 --> 00:40:37.880
Oh you can't. I have an alibi. Correction, you had78300:40:37.920 --> 00:40:41.599
an alibi, But I'm not guilty and you can't prove it.78400:40:41.880 --> 00:40:45.679
We will with your help. But what do you mean?78500:40:46.760 --> 00:40:47.400
It's ironic?78600:40:47.440 --> 00:40:50.519
And then if you hadn't walked in here and made78700:40:50.519 --> 00:40:53.920
a false confession, we might never have had your fingerprints.78800:40:55.159 --> 00:40:58.480
That's what's going to nail you. You provided us with78900:40:58.559 --> 00:41:02.639
a whole set to match up. You were just a79000:41:02.679 --> 00:41:08.639
little too clever. You managed to hang yourself, all right.79100:41:08.719 --> 00:41:12.760
Take him out and bohm jervis, Dad, I let him go, kid, huh,79200:41:12.840 --> 00:41:13.280
let him go.79300:41:14.840 --> 00:41:18.440
It's nothing you can do for him. Now you go79400:41:18.480 --> 00:41:20.400
on with Foster. I let him type up your statement.79500:41:22.480 --> 00:41:25.880
What's going to happen to him, he'll be found guilty79600:41:26.559 --> 00:41:31.199
as he ought to and me, you're taking a beat79700:41:31.280 --> 00:41:37.440
you already. It's an accis won't be too tough. E.79800:41:37.760 --> 00:41:39.679
Things should be looking up from now on for both79900:41:39.679 --> 00:41:50.840
you and your mother. Go on kidding, okay, Lieutenant, Well,80000:41:51.000 --> 00:41:52.960
I guess I ought to start to eat my hat80100:41:53.000 --> 00:41:57.119
reads so huh. But I rather just say I'm sorry.80200:41:57.280 --> 00:41:59.239
Oh no, me too, Lieutenant.80300:42:00.199 --> 00:42:02.360
This is one time I wish I could just have80400:42:02.440 --> 00:42:04.159
been wrong.80500:42:05.719 --> 00:42:08.000
When you're a comp as long as i've been, I'll80600:42:08.000 --> 00:42:08.639
be a lot more.80700:42:10.599 --> 00:42:14.519
I wish I could say, get used to him. Come on,80800:42:15.320 --> 00:42:19.400
let's try the Squadron coffee there as it is. It's80900:42:19.440 --> 00:42:21.800
better than the taste I got in my mouth right now.81000:42:29.960 --> 00:42:37.239
I'll be back shortly with a final thought. So Marian's81100:42:37.239 --> 00:42:42.400
intuition was right, along with Sergeant Rizzo, and David made81200:42:42.440 --> 00:42:47.480
the first long stride towards being the man's something else81300:42:47.519 --> 00:42:51.000
I'd like to say about that not every story must81400:42:51.000 --> 00:42:55.360
have amorrow, but I believe this one has. Not that81500:42:55.559 --> 00:43:00.159
crime doesn't pay, that's obvious, but that the acceptance of81600:43:00.159 --> 00:43:05.880
responsibility is a cornerstone of life. It is written, you81700:43:05.960 --> 00:43:10.280
shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.81800:43:11.639 --> 00:43:18.280

My dear, how about I grew up this brand new82500:44:05.800 --> 00:44:12.199
mixture I've discovered. I do enjoy the traditional tea, but82600:44:13.079 --> 00:44:19.320
there's so many varietals out there to try this one82700:44:19.440 --> 00:44:24.360
I've been thinking about for a long time. I've had82800:44:24.400 --> 00:44:31.320
three cups just tonight, and I feel whimsical and something82900:44:31.320 --> 00:44:49.719
else too. I suppose it would be out of this world?83000:44:55.079 --> 00:44:56.559
Did you really want to know what happened?83100:44:56.559 --> 00:44:56.639

Toby is he here?90800:48:58.840 --> 00:49:00.320
Is he near me here?90900:49:00.519 --> 00:49:00.760
Yes?91000:49:01.320 --> 00:49:02.400
But you can't see him yet.91100:49:02.440 --> 00:49:04.599
I must see him and as you will, but not91200:49:04.719 --> 00:49:08.239
before I have certain facts, certain facts, but your quarrel91300:49:08.239 --> 00:49:11.559

You, help me.91600:49:14.679 --> 00:49:18.039
Why Why should the police have me because it's part91700:49:18.079 --> 00:49:18.559
of my job?91800:49:18.639 --> 00:49:20.480
Because if you've done your job, I've admitted I shot91900:49:20.559 --> 00:49:24.039
Laswa I did it. What else matters your motive? He92000:49:24.159 --> 00:49:26.119
tried to see you Toby from me. Isn't that motive enough?92100:49:26.239 --> 00:49:26.800
Tompkins?92200:49:26.840 --> 00:49:29.320
I really can't understand you understand.92300:49:30.039 --> 00:49:31.800
Of course you can't understand.92400:49:32.719 --> 00:49:33.679
I wouldn't expect you to.92500:49:34.599 --> 00:49:39.920
You've never spent years and this year's playing shoddy, cheap musicals,92600:49:40.760 --> 00:49:43.719
starving out of the elbow because you couldn't find a partner.92700:49:43.400 --> 00:49:45.280
Who understood you.92800:49:45.280 --> 00:49:48.000
You never toiled day and night for weeks on and92900:49:48.679 --> 00:49:51.599
creating somebody like Toby to because of the big time93000:49:51.639 --> 00:49:51.880
with you.93100:49:52.920 --> 00:49:55.360
Oh so we can tell you what it's been like.93200:49:55.320 --> 00:49:55.639
All right.93300:49:56.360 --> 00:50:00.119
Unfortunately Tompkins, Toby has shown no inclination and.93400:50:00.239 --> 00:50:02.039
To speak to me as yet.93500:50:04.480 --> 00:50:04.639

We really appreciate that the work what you see him93700:50:13.400 --> 00:50:16.440
soon enough, I've promise you. But first I want to93800:50:16.440 --> 00:50:18.519
know what makes you think mel Las will try to93900:50:18.519 --> 00:50:22.199
steal Toby. I'm aware of that those intentions right from94000:50:22.239 --> 00:50:25.320
the start of even before I met him, I had94100:50:25.320 --> 00:50:26.360
a premonition.94200:50:26.000 --> 00:50:31.960
Of something somebody might separate from Toby. I couldn't stand94300:50:32.000 --> 00:50:38.519
that I'm wants to him. I see when I met94400:50:38.599 --> 00:50:40.360
Ladel at the club that night, I realized.94500:50:40.039 --> 00:50:43.840
Almost once that he might be the ones because the trouble,94600:50:44.400 --> 00:50:48.719
I suppose you've seen, that's what he is, regular trouble.94700:50:48.440 --> 00:50:50.960
The gas Tompkins. I've seen him now come to the.94800:50:50.920 --> 00:50:55.880
Point, as I invented before, helping have been playing all94900:50:56.079 --> 00:50:59.079
that's a music hall without a few years not believe95000:50:59.119 --> 00:51:03.119
you know. And then we got our engagement this night95100:51:03.239 --> 00:51:07.000
cloud that's as high as Toby and I or any95200:51:07.039 --> 00:51:11.159
actor can go. We were standing backstage springing to the95300:51:11.239 --> 00:51:15.440
doctor to finish their turn standard that's not particularly hard95400:51:15.559 --> 00:51:18.119
versa follow and then figure though the loss of tenement.95500:51:18.360 --> 00:51:23.000
Chill along, that's here, ready to go talking, you're on.95600:51:23.199 --> 00:51:24.440
So as they finished the wall.95700:51:24.519 --> 00:51:26.199
We know our act, Miss Bigelow.95800:51:26.480 --> 00:51:29.760
Well, just so you know yours as well, not Toby Well,95900:51:29.760 --> 00:51:31.360

I have the chair right in.96200:51:32.800 --> 00:51:33.320
I don't worry.96300:51:33.360 --> 00:51:34.920
It won't happen like it did last night.96400:51:35.159 --> 00:51:37.480
And it was the favor of getting off the floor96500:51:37.519 --> 00:51:39.880
when you've introduced us. You messed up the whole first96600:51:39.920 --> 00:51:42.239
part of our acts. Standing behind us here now and96700:51:42.239 --> 00:51:44.239

That was not at all professional, mister Bigelow.97300:51:52.679 --> 00:51:55.400
I apologize, and Toby doesn't seem to have the grace97400:51:55.519 --> 00:51:56.039

Watch him trying to get out of some partia. I'm110400:58:01.599 --> 00:58:02.400
thinking about it.110500:58:02.559 --> 00:58:05.480
Toby Ohlby, you behave your pet, you.110600:58:05.480 --> 00:58:05.960
Off the floor.110700:58:06.159 --> 00:58:07.800
That's right, that's r job.110800:58:08.519 --> 00:58:11.119
Get a good job called the ms by telling you110900:58:11.320 --> 00:58:12.079
to run away, and I.111000:58:12.480 --> 00:58:17.480
Culling hell, all right, all I don't want to come111100:58:18.840 --> 00:58:19.639
and thank you mom.111200:58:20.400 --> 00:58:22.960
Book to surp oh brother, it's about time.111300:58:44.400 --> 00:58:47.840
That's how I knew, Inspector this last hadn't taken more111400:58:47.960 --> 00:58:51.400
than casual notes and security. I could have given improve111500:58:51.480 --> 00:58:53.519
interference on the floor of a cloud. That might have111600:58:53.559 --> 00:58:58.039
been mere professional discourtity, But there was something else in111700:58:58.159 --> 00:59:01.400
latter of attitude that made me feel and know it was.111800:59:01.440 --> 00:59:06.239
His personal interest in Toby. Now he wanted the separator.111900:59:07.000 --> 00:59:09.000
I became certain of this later when he came back112000:59:09.000 --> 00:59:11.199
to my dressing room pretending friendliness.112100:59:14.480 --> 00:59:15.199
Anyone in there?112200:59:19.239 --> 00:59:19.679
Who is it?112300:59:20.079 --> 00:59:20.519
All right?112400:59:20.639 --> 00:59:25.039
Well, don it's the lesson.112500:59:26.159 --> 00:59:28.559
Well, how do you do? Do you mind if we112600:59:28.679 --> 00:59:29.480
come in for a moment?112700:59:30.519 --> 00:59:30.679
Oh?112800:59:31.679 --> 00:59:31.920
You do?112900:59:32.559 --> 00:59:34.079
This is my wife? Sampon?113000:59:36.719 --> 00:59:37.159
What is it?113100:59:37.239 --> 00:59:37.280
Do?113200:59:37.840 --> 00:59:38.000
Sell?113300:59:38.079 --> 00:59:39.280
Those dressing count from the foot?113400:59:39.559 --> 00:59:39.880
Thank you?113500:59:40.199 --> 00:59:43.360
Well, so this is your boy, nice coming job.113600:59:44.960 --> 00:59:50.719
I'm very handsome, don't you think so? Missus Ladwell, you113700:59:50.840 --> 00:59:52.639
certainly are Toby Tomkins.113800:59:52.679 --> 00:59:54.440
I've been curious to know who made him for.113900:59:54.559 --> 00:59:55.599
You put your hand on him.114000:59:56.119 --> 00:59:59.519
I prefer that you let Toby alone. Certainly, you needn't worry.114100:59:59.559 --> 01:00:07.079
I'm handy with dummies myself. You will certainly surprise me114201:00:07.159 --> 01:00:09.320
with that little act out front your own.114301:00:09.239 --> 01:00:10.400
Part, and it surprises me.114401:00:10.639 --> 01:00:12.320
Mister Lever, will believe me Tompkins.114501:00:13.920 --> 01:00:18.000
You'll see miss level tompkins attitude require some sympathy. He's114601:00:18.159 --> 01:00:20.199
quite aware he's not our equal.114701:00:20.559 --> 01:00:22.719
Quiet Tomkins. How hard does this guy go?114801:00:23.079 --> 01:00:25.880
That depends on you, mister Lever, And on just why114901:00:26.000 --> 01:00:26.840
you came to my question?115001:00:27.159 --> 01:00:29.320
More on a professional Curtis Age just come to make115101:00:29.360 --> 01:00:30.480
some sort of a bogus Toby.115201:00:30.519 --> 01:00:31.519
I am not going to permit me.115301:00:31.599 --> 01:00:33.119
Now, wait and mister Tompkins, I will not.115401:00:33.599 --> 01:00:36.840
Wait, Tompkins, I will not permit it. Whatever the level115501:00:36.840 --> 01:00:38.880
will have to say to me is my affair. You115601:00:39.039 --> 01:00:41.320
might even pretend you're a gentleman and make a great115701:00:41.360 --> 01:00:42.199
of BCS.115801:00:42.880 --> 01:00:45.599
Toby, if you're trying to make me the ridiculous, I'm succeeding.115901:00:46.400 --> 01:00:47.119
Yes, I know.116001:00:47.360 --> 01:00:49.719
Now I'll go on over behind the screen and get116101:00:49.800 --> 01:00:53.039
your make up off the wellby that, I warn you116201:00:53.320 --> 01:00:55.840
say that, pay no attention to him.116301:00:55.840 --> 01:00:59.559
Missus Laswell, I don't, man, I don't see this fellow116401:00:59.599 --> 01:01:01.079
to me, not at all.116501:01:01.400 --> 01:01:05.320
He's stupid, really and constantly in the fading of my affairs.116601:01:06.320 --> 01:01:09.119
Missus Laswell, now that we're alone, may I tell you116701:01:09.280 --> 01:01:12.519
something something I'm sure you've heard before.116801:01:13.840 --> 01:01:14.719
What is it company?116901:01:15.360 --> 01:01:19.360
That you're very beautiful, that I'm very fun of you,117001:01:19.480 --> 01:01:23.039
Missus Laswell, Oh no, look here, and whatever Tompkins thinks.117101:01:23.119 --> 01:01:26.800
Missus Laswell, you're really a very nice woman.117201:01:27.679 --> 01:01:30.239
No, I don't like pumping. Come out here.117301:01:34.400 --> 01:01:37.000
Well, what is it our party? You want to carry117401:01:37.039 --> 01:01:39.519
a joke a joke. Here, you apologize to missus La117501:01:40.440 --> 01:01:42.800
for the last crack you just made through Toby.117601:01:43.639 --> 01:01:44.679
Did I listen?117701:01:44.760 --> 01:01:47.440
You'll I don't know what you're talking about.117801:01:47.599 --> 01:01:48.920
No, darling, let's get out of here.117901:01:49.119 --> 01:01:51.079
You're not going to leave me, are you? Mister Laswell?118001:01:51.320 --> 01:01:51.880
Please don't.118101:01:51.920 --> 01:01:53.639
You're a don't play plenty fella, Tompkins.118201:01:53.800 --> 01:01:55.199
Don't blame me for all this.118301:01:55.719 --> 01:01:57.880
Take me with you, mister Laswell. I just want to118401:01:57.920 --> 01:02:00.480
be near her. If you're afraid I'll make love well,118501:02:00.519 --> 01:02:01.320
you needn't worry.118601:02:01.440 --> 01:02:04.239
I wouldn't, Pumpkins. This is the most disgraceful demonstration I've118701:02:04.239 --> 01:02:04.639
ever heard.118801:02:04.760 --> 01:02:06.000
What can I do about him?118901:02:06.280 --> 01:02:06.320
No?119001:02:06.559 --> 01:02:09.320
Please, come on, I love I'll do anything if you119101:02:09.519 --> 01:02:11.199
just let me go with you, mister Laswell?119201:02:11.320 --> 01:02:11.800
Anymore?119301:02:12.000 --> 01:02:14.599
Right, Pumpkins, you asked for it, don't get it.119401:02:14.679 --> 01:02:19.679
Don't get Oh why did you do it?119501:02:19.800 --> 01:02:21.079
The man's not natural?119601:02:22.480 --> 01:02:23.719
What's going on?119701:02:24.159 --> 01:02:26.320
I don't know what's eating that fellow. Ribs are rib119801:02:26.360 --> 01:02:28.480
but he doesn't know where to stop. I guess he119901:02:28.840 --> 01:02:31.199
got the last laugh on me, making me lose my temper.120001:02:31.280 --> 01:02:33.440
And he doesn't seem to be doing much.120101:02:33.519 --> 01:02:33.920
Zombie.120201:02:34.400 --> 01:02:36.079
He's all right and sit done in.120301:02:37.239 --> 01:02:39.679
He didn't have it coming though, Oh darling, I'm sad120401:02:39.760 --> 01:02:41.239
he didn't break the jummy when he fell.120501:02:45.400 --> 01:02:49.400
You do care what happens to le? I love you,120601:02:49.760 --> 01:02:50.880
Missus lad will.120701:02:58.840 --> 01:02:59.440
So you see him.120801:02:59.679 --> 01:03:01.480
I should have known then that I couldn't prevent Letster120901:03:01.519 --> 01:03:05.280
of getting Kerby. I knew they'd been plotting, which I see.121001:03:06.360 --> 01:03:10.760
One question, Missus Tompkins. Would you say that Missus Laswell121101:03:10.840 --> 01:03:14.519
is an exceptionally attractive woman to some men?121201:03:14.719 --> 01:03:15.119
Perhaps?121301:03:15.639 --> 01:03:18.119
And since we know that you think and speak to121401:03:18.239 --> 01:03:21.079
the dummy, isn't it just possible that you may yourself121501:03:21.119 --> 01:03:22.199
find Missus Laswell?121601:03:23.599 --> 01:03:24.320
Oh what is this?121701:03:24.440 --> 01:03:24.760
Rubbies?121801:03:24.800 --> 01:03:25.239
You're talking?121901:03:25.280 --> 01:03:26.679
Are you interested in letting the two the one?122001:03:26.719 --> 01:03:27.119
Haven't rid?122101:03:28.159 --> 01:03:29.280
You're trying to muzzle me up?122201:03:29.400 --> 01:03:31.280
I'd like to hear the matter, how mister.122301:03:36.159 --> 01:03:39.000
As you well know, I'm attacked by the kitcat on122401:03:39.119 --> 01:03:41.880
the spot. I had to respook to Toby all the122501:03:41.920 --> 01:03:44.360
way home. I wanted to impress upon him, and it's122601:03:44.360 --> 01:03:47.239
fortune you caused us your first I hooked.122701:03:47.239 --> 01:03:48.239
The Toby's attention to.122801:03:48.280 --> 01:03:50.239
Missus Laswell had embarrassed them both so much for the122901:03:50.280 --> 01:03:51.320
Laswells would no longer.123001:03:51.159 --> 01:03:52.239
Feel any interest in him.123101:03:54.239 --> 01:03:56.880
In my heart, I knew the Laswells hadn't finished, but123201:03:57.039 --> 01:04:00.440
at that very moment they must have been plotting, dropping123301:04:00.519 --> 01:04:06.800
their next move to get Toby away from me. I'll123401:04:06.800 --> 01:04:09.480
tell you what that next move was. In the hotel,123501:04:10.079 --> 01:04:13.039
I carefully turned the key in the lock. Toby and123601:04:13.079 --> 01:04:15.880
I was secured for the night. I put him in123701:04:15.960 --> 01:04:17.320
the down there's a bed, and then made ready for123801:04:17.400 --> 01:04:20.920
bed myself and I moved around the room, his eyes123901:04:21.079 --> 01:04:24.800
probably calm for them, and I thought of the revolver124001:04:24.880 --> 01:04:26.360
in my bag and took it up.124101:04:27.719 --> 01:04:29.400
With the revolver on my right hand and the key124201:04:29.480 --> 01:04:32.320
in my neck, I way down on the day.124301:04:38.639 --> 01:04:39.039
It goes.124401:04:40.000 --> 01:04:43.079
I don't know for how long. Tell me I was awake,124501:04:43.519 --> 01:04:44.159
my eyes.124601:04:43.960 --> 01:04:45.960
Staring Tooby was gone.124701:04:51.000 --> 01:04:51.440
What is it?124801:04:52.119 --> 01:04:52.519
That's well?124901:04:52.639 --> 01:04:53.320
I want to talk to you.125001:04:53.800 --> 01:05:01.840
Yes, well Toby, come to Toby very stolen tubby. I mean,125101:05:01.880 --> 01:05:02.519
I want him back.125201:05:02.559 --> 01:05:04.440
I don't know what you're talking about, but if you're125301:05:04.440 --> 01:05:06.000
referring to your dummy, I haven't seen him.125401:05:06.039 --> 01:05:06.960
Now, now get out, sir.125501:05:08.880 --> 01:05:09.760
What donger.125601:05:11.400 --> 01:05:14.199
On the floor, on the floor at the foot of125701:05:14.320 --> 01:05:20.599
my dead Toby. There I found you.125801:05:21.599 --> 01:05:22.760
Oh, my poor.125901:05:24.400 --> 01:05:26.719
Love, Tompkins. I don't know how your dummy got here.126001:05:27.280 --> 01:05:29.719
Told me Toby, speak to me.126101:05:31.039 --> 01:05:31.519
Wake up.126201:05:31.639 --> 01:05:36.760
Toby looks shaking these things kind of weak.126301:05:37.400 --> 01:05:39.960
You're not deceiving me, you know very well. I'm here.126401:05:40.360 --> 01:05:46.079
Away and leave me alone. I'm froll with your thumpkins, Claudia.126501:05:46.719 --> 01:05:48.519
We've had all we can take of the thumpkins.126601:05:48.800 --> 01:05:50.960
Are you going to deny you stole Toby's from me?126701:05:51.119 --> 01:05:52.519
I certainly am with here.126801:05:52.599 --> 01:05:52.719
Man.126901:05:53.000 --> 01:05:57.280
You're you're mad, you're ill ill. You took Toby from me,127001:05:57.440 --> 01:05:58.800
and you say I'm ill.127101:05:59.119 --> 01:05:59.840
I didn't take.127201:06:00.280 --> 01:06:02.400
You brought the dummy here. You must have brought it here.127301:06:03.000 --> 01:06:04.800
Maybe why you were walking in your sleep, but you127401:06:04.880 --> 01:06:05.440
brought it here.127501:06:05.800 --> 01:06:06.559
I'm going to prove it.127601:06:06.679 --> 01:06:07.480
Stay away my phone.127701:06:08.960 --> 01:06:10.880
You can shoot it your life, but I'm going to127801:06:10.960 --> 01:06:14.400
prove to you that Hello, Hello.127901:06:14.280 --> 01:06:15.920
Give me the death Berkret Tom Jims.128001:06:16.079 --> 01:06:16.719
I won't go with you.128101:06:16.800 --> 01:06:19.920
I'm going to stay with her forever. Mister Laswell, will128201:06:19.960 --> 01:06:20.519
let me blir.128301:06:20.920 --> 01:06:23.679
This is mister Laswell in seven twenty two. I want128401:06:23.760 --> 01:06:25.400
to know if someone came to my room a few128501:06:25.440 --> 01:06:25.840
hours ago.128601:06:25.920 --> 01:06:26.719
It's a sort of trick.128701:06:27.119 --> 01:06:29.519
A man came to say and he was carrying of128801:06:29.599 --> 01:06:31.239
in Philip with dummy you let.128901:06:31.239 --> 01:06:31.679

Did you hear that something? I'm not deceived by this?129101:06:35.280 --> 01:06:36.119
Will you describe the.129201:06:36.159 --> 01:06:36.599

Please?129401:06:38.360 --> 01:06:40.000
No, you're a devil Laswell.129501:06:40.320 --> 01:06:41.400
You still tuff it from me.129601:06:41.480 --> 01:06:43.760
Now you're trying to drive me there here take the phone.129701:06:43.800 --> 01:06:46.480
Now you're tricking me again.129801:06:46.599 --> 01:06:47.159
Don't care.129901:06:47.480 --> 01:06:49.000
You won't succeed this time.130001:06:56.400 --> 01:06:58.760
No, I don't DENI but I shop last inspect you,130101:06:58.840 --> 01:07:02.800
but I have been the propagation was then I dare130201:07:02.880 --> 01:07:07.039
Jack would agree, after all, last we turned a friend130301:07:07.199 --> 01:07:10.719
against me and old and the very value pray.130401:07:12.320 --> 01:07:12.840
Whom I'm.130501:07:16.159 --> 01:07:16.679
So I'm given.130601:07:17.159 --> 01:07:19.400
In due time, I may ask you to sign a130701:07:19.480 --> 01:07:21.920
form of confession on the basis of the story you130801:07:22.079 --> 01:07:25.239
just told me. No, Jack, you sign it, but not130901:07:25.320 --> 01:07:27.719
the way I inspected. I wonder if now you're might131001:07:27.760 --> 01:07:29.079
can't can see Toby you can have.131101:07:29.440 --> 01:07:30.320
I'd like to oblige you.131201:07:30.440 --> 01:07:32.719
We're talking for a short month, but you have to131301:07:32.960 --> 01:07:36.000
probat about not seeing, especially after our trouble, and you're131401:07:36.000 --> 01:07:36.920
given a little time together.131501:07:36.960 --> 01:07:39.039
Pats, Toby and I could straighten out our players well,131601:07:39.159 --> 01:07:39.599
if you like.131701:07:39.679 --> 01:07:47.440
I think I can manage with perhaps having brought out yourself. Yes, yes,131801:07:47.559 --> 01:07:50.920
I'm looking forward to seeing Toby again. I am, indeed,131901:08:00.639 --> 01:08:02.920
And that's the story Tompkins told us to be, mister Lasso,132001:08:03.119 --> 01:08:04.119
and it's incredible.132101:08:04.199 --> 01:08:06.199
I had some idea what was going on in my132201:08:06.239 --> 01:08:07.199
fellow's mind, but.132301:08:07.280 --> 01:08:07.920
That is well.132401:08:08.000 --> 01:08:11.440
I'm so sorry for just one question, mister lassole. You132501:08:11.679 --> 01:08:14.639
thought my asking, Yes, did you have anything to do.132601:08:14.760 --> 01:08:16.840
With what's happened to the kid cat? I mean, you132701:08:17.079 --> 01:08:18.479
didn't project your voice through Toby?132801:08:18.479 --> 01:08:19.720
It certainly not so.132901:08:19.840 --> 01:08:22.000
I thought this business has been baffled.133001:08:22.479 --> 01:08:25.000
If I thought Tompis might be more dangerous than he's133101:08:25.039 --> 01:08:26.159
already cruel.133201:08:25.920 --> 01:08:28.520
I'm afraid there is that possibility. Inspector, Huh.133301:08:28.920 --> 01:08:31.520
It may be the Tompkins has become so accustomed to133401:08:31.840 --> 01:08:36.199
thinking as two persons that the personalities have actually become divided.133501:08:36.520 --> 01:08:38.880
Is that possible for one man to have two separate133601:08:38.920 --> 01:08:40.079
and distinct personalities?133701:08:40.640 --> 01:08:41.640
Yes, that's not rare.133801:08:42.319 --> 01:08:44.760
Well, I'll admit I've I've never heard of anything exactly133901:08:44.840 --> 01:08:47.199
like this, Because what will happen to him now? It's134001:08:47.239 --> 01:08:49.239
the battle that Tompkins will have to fight out within134101:08:49.359 --> 01:08:52.479
himself as long as he's in that cell without the dummy,134201:08:53.119 --> 01:08:56.439
he may learn to think for himself as himself again, because.134301:08:56.199 --> 01:08:58.720
It's heavens man, we'll care. I permitted that dummy to134401:08:58.760 --> 01:09:01.399
be taken to the Tompkins and you are Chumpkins was134501:09:01.399 --> 01:09:01.840
o keen on.134601:09:01.920 --> 01:09:02.720
Having a dummy winner?134701:09:02.720 --> 01:09:03.800
And I think that will harm you.134801:09:03.960 --> 01:09:04.640
I don't know, but.134901:09:06.760 --> 01:09:07.000
I am.135001:09:07.520 --> 01:09:10.880
It's set folk to telling on something offul in this cell.135101:09:10.960 --> 01:09:11.439
What happened?135201:09:11.800 --> 01:09:14.000
We put the big doll in with them, like you said, sir,135301:09:14.279 --> 01:09:16.359
and right off of the en Orgian with it, telling135401:09:16.439 --> 01:09:19.319
on a fight, real love like it's just like two135501:09:19.359 --> 01:09:20.359
people one at each.135601:09:20.239 --> 01:09:21.000
Other as well.135701:09:21.159 --> 01:09:23.000
You were right, Come on, we better get to them135801:09:23.000 --> 01:09:23.760
the boy it's too late.135901:09:33.479 --> 01:09:35.760
Well, all I can say is I knew you'd wind136001:09:35.840 --> 01:09:39.600
up this way sometimes put away, but keep the jail Bert.136101:09:40.000 --> 01:09:42.359
Oh Toby, I can't stand having you talk to me136201:09:42.439 --> 01:09:47.039
that way? How can you be so ungrateful? I made136301:09:47.079 --> 01:09:47.920

Don't come off at Dumpkins. You're a regular swam spot137001:10:00.479 --> 01:10:07.960

Are you fool? Don't you know that's impossible?137901:10:25.079 --> 01:10:27.560

You're call please operator, I've just been cut off.150701:19:53.520 --> 01:19:55.239
I'm sorry. Whenever were you calling.150801:19:55.399 --> 01:19:56.279
Why it was.150901:19:56.279 --> 01:19:58.760
Supposed to be murray Hill's seven h ninety three, but151001:19:58.880 --> 01:20:01.159
it wasn't. Somewhile must have got crossed. I was cut151101:20:01.199 --> 01:20:03.439
into a wrong number, and I've just heard the most151201:20:03.520 --> 01:20:07.439
dreadful thing, something about a murder and operator. You'll simply151301:20:07.479 --> 01:20:08.800
have to retrace that call at once.151401:20:09.560 --> 01:20:11.560
I beg your pardon. May I help you?151501:20:11.680 --> 01:20:11.760
Oh?151601:20:11.840 --> 01:20:13.479
I know it was a wrong number, and I had151701:20:13.520 --> 01:20:16.439
no business listening. But these two men, they were cold151801:20:16.439 --> 01:20:18.880
blooded seens, and they were going to murder somebody, some poor.151901:20:18.760 --> 01:20:21.359
Innocent woman who was all alone in a house near152001:20:21.439 --> 01:20:21.800
a bridge.152101:20:21.840 --> 01:20:22.880
And we've got to stop them.152201:20:22.920 --> 01:20:25.800
We've got what number were you calling? Please, that doesn't matter.152301:20:25.960 --> 01:20:28.479
This was a wrong number and you dialed it for me,152401:20:28.520 --> 01:20:30.439
and we've got to find out what it was immediately.152501:20:30.680 --> 01:20:32.079
What number did you call? Oh?152601:20:32.600 --> 01:20:34.199
Why are you so stupid?152701:20:34.720 --> 01:20:36.560
What time is it? Do you mean to tell me?152801:20:36.640 --> 01:20:38.279
You can't find out what that number was?152901:20:38.439 --> 01:20:40.760
Just now, I'll connect you with the chief operator.153001:20:40.800 --> 01:20:44.760
Oh, I think it's perfectly shameful. Now, look, look, it153101:20:44.920 --> 01:20:47.119
was obviously a case of some little slip of the finger.153201:20:47.560 --> 01:20:50.760
I told you to try murray Hill seven oh nine153301:20:50.960 --> 01:20:53.279
three for me, you dialed it, but your finger must153401:20:53.279 --> 01:20:55.079
have slipped and I was connected with some other number153501:20:55.479 --> 01:20:55.720
and I.153601:20:55.760 --> 01:20:57.479
Could hear them, but they couldn't hear me.153701:20:58.159 --> 01:21:00.600
Now, now I simply failed to see why you couldn't153801:21:00.600 --> 01:21:03.079
make that same mistake again on purpose. Why you couldn't153901:21:03.159 --> 01:21:05.800
try to dial murray Hill seven oh oh nine three154001:21:05.920 --> 01:21:07.199
in the same sort of careless way.154101:21:07.439 --> 01:21:10.399
Murray Hill seven oh oh nine three. I will try154201:21:10.439 --> 01:21:11.079
to get it for you.154301:21:11.319 --> 01:21:11.680
Thank you.154401:21:20.439 --> 01:21:27.119
Oh, I'm sorry, murray Hill seven oh nine three is busy.154501:21:27.439 --> 01:21:34.880
I will call operator operator operator. Will you answer me154601:21:35.920 --> 01:21:36.359
your call?154701:21:36.520 --> 01:21:36.840
Please?154801:21:37.000 --> 01:21:39.399
Will you didn't try to get that wrong number? Tall154901:21:39.479 --> 01:21:42.000
I ask you explicitly, and all you did was dial correctly.155001:21:42.479 --> 01:21:44.720
I'm sorry, what number are you calling?155101:21:45.199 --> 01:21:47.399
Can't you for once forget what number I'm calling and155201:21:47.479 --> 01:21:48.239
do something for me?155301:21:48.840 --> 01:21:49.000
Now?155401:21:49.119 --> 01:21:51.880
I want to trace that call. It's my civic duty.155501:21:51.920 --> 01:21:54.039
It's your civic duty to trace that call and apprehend155601:21:54.039 --> 01:21:54.880
those dangerous killers.155701:21:54.920 --> 01:21:56.520
And if you won't, I will connect you with the155801:21:56.560 --> 01:22:07.680
chief operator. Please the answer this is the chief operator.155901:22:07.800 --> 01:22:10.479
Oh, chief operator. I want you to trace a call156001:22:10.720 --> 01:22:13.439
a telephone call immediately. I don't know where it came156101:22:13.479 --> 01:22:15.840
from or who was making it. But it's absolutely necessary156201:22:15.880 --> 01:22:17.800
to be tracked down because it was about a murder156301:22:17.840 --> 01:22:21.039
that someone's planning, a terrible, cold blooded murder of a156401:22:21.119 --> 01:22:24.039
poor innocent woman. Tonight at eleven fifteen, I see, Well,156501:22:24.079 --> 01:22:25.560
can you trace it for me? Can you track down156601:22:25.560 --> 01:22:25.920
those men?156701:22:26.000 --> 01:22:26.680
I'm not certain.156801:22:26.760 --> 01:22:29.119
It depends depends on what. It depends on whether the156901:22:29.199 --> 01:22:31.119
call is still going on. If it's a live call,157001:22:31.199 --> 01:22:33.760
we can trace it on the equipment. If it's been disconnected,157101:22:33.800 --> 01:22:36.319
we can discnis if the party that stopped talking to157201:22:36.399 --> 01:22:36.720
each other.157301:22:36.840 --> 01:22:38.840
Oh but if, of course, they must have stopped talking157401:22:38.880 --> 01:22:40.560
to each other by now that was at least five157501:22:40.600 --> 01:22:42.239
minutes ago, and it didn't sound like the type it157601:22:42.239 --> 01:22:43.199
would make a long call.157701:22:43.560 --> 01:22:46.119
Well, I can try tracing it where I have your name.157801:22:46.000 --> 01:22:48.960
Please, missus Stephenson, missus Elbert Stevenson.157901:22:49.560 --> 01:22:51.960
But listen, and your telephone number please yo.158001:22:52.399 --> 01:22:55.359
Closet four two two nine fives. But if you go158101:22:55.439 --> 01:22:56.880
on wasting all this time.158201:22:56.760 --> 01:22:58.279
Why do you want the call trace please?158301:22:58.520 --> 01:22:58.720
Why?158401:22:59.119 --> 01:22:59.279
Well?158501:23:00.000 --> 01:23:03.039
Oh, no reason, no reason. I mean, I merely felt158601:23:03.119 --> 01:23:05.199
very strongly that something ought to be done about it.158701:23:05.760 --> 01:23:08.399
These men sounded like killers. They're they're dangerous, they're going158801:23:08.439 --> 01:23:10.640
to murder this woman at eleven fifteen tonight, and I158901:23:10.720 --> 01:23:11.640
thought the police ought to know.159001:23:11.920 --> 01:23:14.960
Have you reported this to the police, Well no, no,159101:23:15.199 --> 01:23:17.239
not yet. You want this call check purely as a159201:23:17.279 --> 01:23:18.439
private individual.159301:23:18.199 --> 01:23:20.359
Yes, yes, But meanwhile, I'm sorry.159401:23:20.159 --> 01:23:22.359
Missus Stevenson, but I'm afraid we couldn't make this check159501:23:22.399 --> 01:23:24.119
for you and trace the call justin you'll say, so159601:23:24.199 --> 01:23:27.039
it's a private individual, we'd have to do something more efficient.159701:23:27.119 --> 01:23:29.560
Oh, for heaven's sake, you mean to tell me I159801:23:29.640 --> 01:23:31.359
can't report that there's going to be a murder without159901:23:31.359 --> 01:23:33.039
getting tied up in all this red tape.160001:23:33.319 --> 01:23:38.199
Why, it's perfectly idiotic. Well, all right, all right, I'll160101:23:38.279 --> 01:23:38.960
call the police.160201:23:39.000 --> 01:23:39.279
Thank you.160301:23:39.399 --> 01:23:40.920
I'm sure that would be the best way to.160401:23:42.560 --> 01:23:43.199
Ridiculous.160501:23:43.239 --> 01:23:44.560
That's perfectly ridiculous.160601:23:47.159 --> 01:23:50.920
It's oh.160701:23:58.319 --> 01:24:01.560
Your call, Please the police department. Get me the police department.160801:24:01.640 --> 01:24:02.479
Please, thank you.160901:24:02.840 --> 01:24:04.079
Bringing the police department.161001:24:04.720 --> 01:24:20.319
Davey Police Station preacing forty.161101:24:20.119 --> 01:24:24.479
Three Police Department. This is missus Stevens and missus Elbert161201:24:24.520 --> 01:24:28.119
smy Stevenson of fifty three North Sutton Place. I'm calling161301:24:28.239 --> 01:24:30.760
up to report a murder. I mean, the murder hasn't161401:24:30.800 --> 01:24:33.359
been committed yet, but I just overheard plans for it161501:24:33.439 --> 01:24:35.840
of the telephone over a wrong number that the operator161601:24:35.880 --> 01:24:38.880
gave me. I've been trying to trace down the call myself,161701:24:39.000 --> 01:24:42.079
but everybody is so stupid, and I guess in the161801:24:42.199 --> 01:24:43.880
end you're the only people who could do anything.161901:24:44.279 --> 01:24:44.840
Yes, ma'am.162001:24:44.960 --> 01:24:48.159
Well, it was a perfectly definite murder. I heard their162101:24:48.199 --> 01:24:52.319
plans distinctly. Two men were talking and they were going162201:24:52.359 --> 01:24:54.600
to murder some woman at eleven fifteen to night.162301:24:55.199 --> 01:24:57.439
She lived in a house near a bridge. Are you162401:24:57.520 --> 01:24:59.760
listening to me, yes, ma'am.162501:25:00.359 --> 01:25:02.720
And there was a private patrolman on the street. He162601:25:02.880 --> 01:25:05.399
was going to go around for a beer on Second Avenue,162701:25:05.800 --> 01:25:08.720
and and and there was some third man, a client162801:25:08.800 --> 01:25:12.439
who was paying to have this poor woman murdered. They162901:25:12.479 --> 01:25:14.079
were going to take her rings and bracelest and and163001:25:14.399 --> 01:25:18.520
and use a nine. Well, it's it's unnerved, middreadfully.163101:25:18.039 --> 01:25:19.439
And I'm not will.163201:25:20.800 --> 01:25:22.760
When was all this man, well.163301:25:22.840 --> 01:25:23.840
About eight minutes ago.163401:25:25.239 --> 01:25:29.560
Then you can do something, you do, understand, Missus Stephenson,163501:25:29.640 --> 01:25:34.800
Missus Albert Stevenson, fifty three North Sutton Place, five three163601:25:35.119 --> 01:25:39.479
North Sutton Place. That's near a bridge, the Queensbury Bridge,163701:25:39.479 --> 01:25:42.000
you know. And and we have a private patrolman on163801:25:42.079 --> 01:25:47.199
our street and and and second Avenue murray Hill seven163901:25:47.560 --> 01:25:51.840
oh oh nine three. But that wasn't the number I overheard.164001:25:52.079 --> 01:25:55.319
I mean murray Hill seven nine three is my husband's office.164101:25:55.600 --> 01:25:57.880
He's he's working late tonight, and I was trying to164201:25:57.960 --> 01:26:01.119
reach him to ask him to come home an invalid,164301:26:01.159 --> 01:26:04.600
you know, And it's the maid night off, and I164401:26:04.840 --> 01:26:07.600
hate to be alone, even though he says, I'm perfectly164501:26:07.640 --> 01:26:09.760
safe as long as I have the telephone right beside164601:26:09.840 --> 01:26:10.159
my bed.164701:26:10.520 --> 01:26:13.319
Well, we'll look at it it, missus Stevenson, and we'll164801:26:13.319 --> 01:26:15.000
see if we can check it with a telephone company.164901:26:15.039 --> 01:26:17.239
But the telephone company said they couldn't check the call165001:26:17.279 --> 01:26:19.800
at the parties that stopped talking, I've already taken care165101:26:19.880 --> 01:26:23.520
of that, oh you, yes, And personally, I feel you165201:26:23.600 --> 01:26:25.720
want to do something far more immediate and drastic to165301:26:25.880 --> 01:26:26.600
just check the call.165401:26:27.119 --> 01:26:28.319
What good is checking the call do?165501:26:28.399 --> 01:26:30.640
If they stop talking by the time you track it down,165601:26:30.640 --> 01:26:32.000
they'll already have committed the murder.165701:26:32.319 --> 01:26:34.199
Well, we'll take care of it, don't you worry.165801:26:34.319 --> 01:26:36.119
Well, I'd say the whole thing called for a search,165901:26:36.159 --> 01:26:37.840
a complete and thorough search of the whole city.166001:26:38.399 --> 01:26:40.680
Now I'm very near the bridge, and I'm not far166101:26:40.760 --> 01:26:41.600
from Second Avenue.166201:26:41.640 --> 01:26:44.079
And I know I'd feel a lot better if if166301:26:44.119 --> 01:26:46.439
you sent around a radio cart of this neighborhood it won.166401:26:46.439 --> 01:26:48.000
And what makes you think the murder is going to166501:26:48.039 --> 01:26:49.199
be committed in your neighborhood?166601:26:49.199 --> 01:26:49.359
Who?166701:26:49.920 --> 01:26:53.600
Well, I don't know. Only the coincidence is so horrible.166801:26:54.239 --> 01:26:56.840
Second Avenue and patrolman, and the.166901:26:56.840 --> 01:26:59.199
Bridge and Second Avenue is a very long straight man.167001:26:59.319 --> 01:27:01.479
I know how many bridges there are in the city167101:27:01.520 --> 01:27:04.319
of New York alone, not to mention Brooklyn and Staten Island,167201:27:04.439 --> 01:27:05.199
Queens Lebronce.167301:27:05.319 --> 01:27:05.520
I know.167401:27:05.840 --> 01:27:07.680
How do you know there isn't some little house out167501:27:07.720 --> 01:27:09.960
on Staten Island on some little Second Avenue you have167601:27:10.039 --> 01:27:10.840
never even heard about?167701:27:11.279 --> 01:27:13.680
Do you know they're even talking about New York at all?167801:27:13.800 --> 01:27:15.840
But I heard the call in the New York dialing system.167901:27:15.920 --> 01:27:18.199
Maybe it was a long distance call you overheard. The168001:27:18.319 --> 01:27:21.279
telephones are funny things. Look, lady, why don't you look168101:27:21.319 --> 01:27:23.600
at it this way? Supposing you hadn't broken in on168201:27:23.680 --> 01:27:26.359
that telephone call, Suppose you got your husband the way168301:27:26.359 --> 01:27:28.560
you always do, you wouldn't be upset, would you?168401:27:28.760 --> 01:27:28.800
No?168501:27:29.039 --> 01:27:32.680
I suppose not only it sounded so inhuman, so cold blooded.168601:27:32.840 --> 01:27:35.279
A lot of murders are plotted in this city every day. Man,168701:27:35.720 --> 01:27:37.800
we managed to prevent most all of them. But the168801:27:37.880 --> 01:27:40.279
clue of this kind is so vague. I isn't much168901:27:40.359 --> 01:27:43.039
more used to us than no claude on surely, unless,169001:27:43.199 --> 01:27:46.279
of course, you have some reason for thinking this call169101:27:46.439 --> 01:27:49.359
was phony and that somebody may be planning to murder you.169201:27:49.720 --> 01:27:55.399
Me, Oh no, I hardly think so. Well. I mean,169301:27:55.479 --> 01:27:59.159
why should anybody. I'm alone all day and night. I169401:28:00.279 --> 01:28:03.960
see nobody except my maid, Eloison, And she's a big girl.169501:28:04.079 --> 01:28:07.039
She weighs two hundred pounds, and she's too lazy to169601:28:07.239 --> 01:28:09.760
bring out my breakfast tray. And the only other person169701:28:09.880 --> 01:28:12.680
is my husband Elbert. He's crazy about me. He just169801:28:12.760 --> 01:28:15.319
adores me. He waits on me, hand and foot. I169901:28:15.359 --> 01:28:18.119
scarcely left my side since I took six twelve years ago.170001:28:18.399 --> 01:28:20.359
Well, and there's nothing for you to worry about. But170101:28:20.600 --> 01:28:22.279
if you'll just leave the rest of this to us.170201:28:22.199 --> 01:28:23.159
Will you do?170301:28:23.439 --> 01:28:25.399
It's so late, it's nearly eleven.170401:28:25.520 --> 01:28:27.199
Now we'll take care of it. Lady.170501:28:27.199 --> 01:28:29.279
Will you broadcast it all over the city and send170601:28:29.319 --> 01:28:32.159
out squads and warn your radio cars to watch out,170701:28:32.239 --> 01:28:34.920
especially in suspicious neighborhood like mine, lady.170801:28:35.000 --> 01:28:37.239
I said we'd take care of it just now.170901:28:37.279 --> 01:28:38.800
I've got a couple of other matters. You're on my171001:28:38.920 --> 01:28:41.720
desk and require immediate attention. Good night, ma'am, and thank you.171101:28:41.960 --> 01:28:44.199
Oh you you idiot?171201:28:45.119 --> 01:28:50.079
Oh no, why did I hang up the phone like that? No,171301:28:50.239 --> 01:28:56.000
we'll think I am a fool. Oh why doesn't Elbert171401:28:56.079 --> 01:28:56.680
come home?171501:28:58.439 --> 01:28:59.319
Why doesn't he.171601:29:00.600 --> 01:29:01.399
Mm hmmm.171701:29:04.640 --> 01:29:04.760

I can hear it. You don't have to tell me.172601:29:43.000 --> 01:29:48.039
I know it's busy. Oh, if if I could only172701:29:48.279 --> 01:29:51.520

I could, if I can get a breath of fish air,172901:29:54.520 --> 01:29:58.960
or just lean out of the window, I'll see the street.173001:30:00.600 --> 01:30:06.119
Hello Elbert, Hello, Hello, Hello?173101:30:07.079 --> 01:30:09.640

Please, hello, operator.173901:30:38.640 --> 01:30:40.720
I don't know what's the matter with this telephone that night,174001:30:40.760 --> 01:30:42.319
but is positively driving me crazy.174101:30:42.720 --> 01:30:45.199
I've never seen such inefficient, miserable service.174201:30:45.920 --> 01:30:48.640
Now now, no, now, Look, I'm an invalid and I'm174301:30:48.800 --> 01:30:51.880
very nervous, and I'm not supposed to be annoyed. But174401:30:52.000 --> 01:30:55.880
if this keeps on much longer, well, everything's wrong.174501:30:56.000 --> 01:30:58.399
I haven't had one bit of satisfaction out of one call.174601:30:58.479 --> 01:31:00.680
I've made this evening the whole to be murdered for174701:31:00.720 --> 01:31:03.279
all you people care. And now now my phone keeps174801:31:03.439 --> 01:31:05.640
ringing and ringing and ringing and ringing and ringing every174901:31:05.680 --> 01:31:07.319
five seconds or so, and when I pick it up,175001:31:07.319 --> 01:31:08.000
there's no one there.175101:31:08.199 --> 01:31:10.239
I'm sorry. If you will hang up, I will test175201:31:10.279 --> 01:31:10.560
it for it.175301:31:10.680 --> 01:31:12.079

And why why, may I ask?175701:31:18.600 --> 01:31:21.039
The dial system is automatical. If someone is.175801:31:21.079 --> 01:31:22.800
Trying to die your number, there is no way to175901:31:22.920 --> 01:31:24.880
check whether the crawl is coming through the system or176001:31:24.920 --> 01:31:27.279

No.190401:39:17.399 --> 01:39:20.399
But I really don't see why all this catechizing is necessary.190501:39:20.479 --> 01:39:23.520
I just want a trained nurse. I was a patient190601:39:23.600 --> 01:39:26.319
in your hospital two years ago, and after all, I190701:39:26.600 --> 01:39:28.680
do expect to pay this person for attending me.190801:39:28.880 --> 01:39:31.439
We quite understand that, madam. But these are wartimes, you know.190901:39:31.640 --> 01:39:34.199
I know that registered nurses are very scarce just now,191001:39:34.560 --> 01:39:37.000
and our superintendent is asked us to send people out191101:39:37.079 --> 01:39:40.720
only on cases with a povision. In charge feels it absolutely.191201:39:40.600 --> 01:39:42.319
Well, it is absolutely necessary.191301:39:42.359 --> 01:39:43.159
I'm a sick woman.191401:39:43.279 --> 01:39:47.079
I'm very much upset, very I'm alone in this house191501:39:47.119 --> 01:39:49.880
and I'm an invalid, and tonight I overheard a telephone191601:39:49.920 --> 01:39:51.560
conversation that upset me dreadfully.191701:39:52.479 --> 01:39:53.800
In fact, if someone.191801:39:53.600 --> 01:39:55.319
Doesn't come at once, I'm afraid I'll go out of191901:39:55.359 --> 01:39:55.760
my mind.192001:39:55.880 --> 01:39:56.239

Well, I'll speak to miss Phillips as soon as she192201:39:58.720 --> 01:40:00.920
comes in. And what is your name, Phillips?192301:40:01.560 --> 01:40:02.680
And when do you expect her in?192401:40:03.039 --> 01:40:05.279
I really couldn't say she went out to supper at192501:40:05.279 --> 01:40:05.800
eleven o'clock.192601:40:05.840 --> 01:40:08.920
Eleven o'clock, but it's it's not eleven o'clock yet.192701:40:10.319 --> 01:40:13.439
Oh, oh, my clock has stopped.192801:40:13.600 --> 01:40:15.159
I thought it was running down.192901:40:15.359 --> 01:40:16.159
What time is it?193001:40:17.119 --> 01:40:19.000
Just fifteen minutes past eleven?193101:40:19.680 --> 01:40:20.039
What was that?193201:40:20.680 --> 01:40:21.680
What was what matter?193301:40:23.199 --> 01:40:23.239
That?193401:40:23.439 --> 01:40:23.680
Click?193501:40:24.159 --> 01:40:27.079
Just now in my own telephone, as though someone had193601:40:27.119 --> 01:40:30.119
lifted the receiver off the hook of the extension telephone downstairs.193701:40:30.199 --> 01:40:33.319
I didn't hear it, madam, now about this, but I did.193801:40:33.520 --> 01:40:37.800
There's there someone in this house, someone downstairs in the kitchen,193901:40:38.119 --> 01:40:38.760
and there they.194001:40:38.760 --> 01:40:39.239
Listen to me.194101:40:39.319 --> 01:40:45.439
Now leave me, I.194201:40:45.479 --> 01:40:47.199
Will pick up.194301:40:48.319 --> 01:40:51.000
I won't get them near me.194401:40:52.840 --> 01:40:53.840
I won't let them near me.194501:40:54.239 --> 01:40:58.239
I'll be quiet, I'll be so wild, and they'll.194601:40:58.039 --> 01:41:03.319
Think, oh, but if I don't call someone house, well,194701:41:03.359 --> 01:41:04.159

This is the Columbia Broadcasting system, My dear.199101:44:30.800 --> 01:44:37.239
How complex this time we get to exist in it199201:44:37.359 --> 01:44:43.399
can be. There's so much to see, so much to do,199301:44:43.880 --> 01:44:49.039
and so much to feel. And that is where it199401:44:49.199 --> 01:44:56.880
gets interesting, isn't it. The possibilities are beyond comprehension. Yet199501:44:57.560 --> 01:45:05.079
I always land on the say what the same moved jealousy?199601:45:08.600 --> 01:45:11.760
Wait a minute, have you heard the strange tales of199701:45:11.840 --> 01:45:12.399
the Whistler.199801:45:29.079 --> 01:45:30.399
I'm the whistler.199901:45:35.000 --> 01:45:37.439
I don't know what it is. It's a figure. I200001:45:37.479 --> 01:45:39.000
can't tell whether the man or a woman.200101:45:39.520 --> 01:45:42.000
It comes through the door and walks with outstretched arms200201:45:42.039 --> 01:45:44.439
toward my bed, reaching for me.200301:45:48.760 --> 01:45:51.920
Sunday night and again CBS presents the Whistler.200401:45:56.720 --> 01:45:59.520
I the Whistler, know many things for I walk by200501:45:59.640 --> 01:46:03.560
night I know many strange tales, many secrets hidden in200601:46:03.600 --> 01:46:05.520
the hearts of men and women who have stepped into200701:46:05.560 --> 01:46:08.960
the shadows. I know the nameless terrors of which they200801:46:09.039 --> 01:46:11.800
dare not speak. And so I tell you the weird200901:46:11.920 --> 01:46:20.720
tale of jealousy. At the edge of the cliff overlooking201001:46:20.760 --> 01:46:23.840
the sea sets the gray Stone Mansion, weather beaten by201101:46:23.880 --> 01:46:27.720
the storms of several decades. To this mansion, Gilbert Durant201201:46:27.840 --> 01:46:31.680
brought his bride, Lucia. That was four years ago. Gilbert201301:46:31.720 --> 01:46:34.720
and Lucia were quite happy until last year, when Lucia's201401:46:34.760 --> 01:46:37.960
half sister, Beverly, came to live with them, and gradually201501:46:38.159 --> 01:46:42.000
something began to happen. At first, Lucia realized that Gilbert's201601:46:42.079 --> 01:46:45.199
ardor was beginning to cool. He became more absorbed in201701:46:45.319 --> 01:46:48.319
his writing. Then she felt the cold clamminess of the201801:46:48.359 --> 01:46:50.840
stone structure almost creep about her and clutch her.201901:46:51.359 --> 01:46:52.079
Fear grew in.202001:46:52.119 --> 01:46:54.840
Her mind, a fear that nearly took her breath.202101:46:55.960 --> 01:46:59.159
It is evening now, and Lucia, having excused herself at dinner,202201:46:59.439 --> 01:47:01.640
tosses on a bed in a fretful sheep.202301:47:02.319 --> 01:47:07.600
No, no, don't, don't get away from it.202401:47:09.680 --> 01:47:20.840
No, oh, why were you screaming?202501:47:21.920 --> 01:47:22.800
I must have been dreaming.202601:47:23.560 --> 01:47:26.239
It was horrible fight. There's a ghost. You're shaking like202701:47:26.319 --> 01:47:26.680
a leap.202801:47:27.039 --> 01:47:27.439
If they're not.202901:47:28.359 --> 01:47:31.319
Always it's having me mad.203001:47:32.319 --> 01:47:34.039
That makes the fourth of his time. I've dreamed the203101:47:34.079 --> 01:47:37.000
same thing, the same thing in every.203201:47:36.840 --> 01:47:39.279
Detail ever screamed before.203301:47:39.399 --> 01:47:40.960
It always comes to the closer to me.203401:47:41.479 --> 01:47:44.079
Tonight it almost reached me it.203501:47:45.039 --> 01:47:45.600
What do you mean?203601:47:45.720 --> 01:47:46.439
I don't know what it is.203701:47:47.039 --> 01:47:50.279
It's a figure, a human figure, but I can't tell203801:47:50.319 --> 01:47:52.800
whether it's a man or a woman. It comes through203901:47:52.840 --> 01:47:54.720
that door and walks slowly across the room with his204001:47:54.920 --> 01:47:58.000
arms outstretched, preaching for me.204101:47:58.600 --> 01:47:59.920
Are you sure you were dreaming?204201:48:00.119 --> 01:48:00.279
Oh?204301:48:01.279 --> 01:48:03.560
Now that I think of it isn't like a dream,204401:48:04.159 --> 01:48:07.640
an ordinary dream. Its reality seems to carry over even204501:48:07.720 --> 01:48:08.439
after I'm awake.204601:48:09.119 --> 01:48:11.720
That's what's made you so ill. This dream, if it204701:48:11.840 --> 01:48:13.800
is a dream, means something.204801:48:14.760 --> 01:48:15.399
Is that what you think?204901:48:15.479 --> 01:48:17.159
It's the premonition?205001:48:17.880 --> 01:48:18.399
Perhaps?205101:48:19.680 --> 01:48:20.279
What time is it?205201:48:20.920 --> 01:48:23.039
Nine o'clock? Where's Gilbert?205301:48:23.439 --> 01:48:26.640
Your husband went horseback riding over an hour ago. Your205401:48:27.319 --> 01:48:28.239
sister went.205501:48:28.119 --> 01:48:29.199
With him reverally.205601:48:30.800 --> 01:48:31.840
Why didn't you ask me to go?205701:48:32.239 --> 01:48:32.479
Well?205801:48:32.680 --> 01:48:36.800
You know you haven't been feeling very well lately. Oh, yes, yes,205901:48:36.880 --> 01:48:40.159
of course. Well, if you're feeling better, I'll go back206001:48:40.159 --> 01:48:40.720
to my room.206101:48:42.319 --> 01:48:44.720
Oh, oh, yes, I'll be all right.206201:48:46.000 --> 01:48:52.760
Good night, Good night man, Beverly. Gilbert and Beverly.206301:49:06.640 --> 01:49:09.359
Lucia lies for a while, staring wild eyed at the206401:49:09.399 --> 01:49:11.399
patch of moonlight on the bedroom door.206501:49:11.840 --> 01:49:13.680
And finally she drops off to sleep.206601:49:14.119 --> 01:49:17.039
Then, as the clock strikes half past ten, the door206701:49:17.119 --> 01:49:21.039
opens slowly silently. A figure steps into the room and206801:49:21.199 --> 01:49:24.319
moves noiselessly through the moonlight a Lucia's bed and stands206901:49:24.359 --> 01:49:25.039
staring at her.207001:49:25.520 --> 01:49:26.760
Suddenly, Luci opened her eyes.207101:49:27.159 --> 01:49:30.479
Gilbert, don't, don't what's wrong with you?207201:49:31.520 --> 01:49:32.720
What are you doing in my room?207301:49:34.000 --> 01:49:35.439
I just wanted to know how you felt?207401:49:35.800 --> 01:49:37.079
How long have you been standing there?207501:49:37.319 --> 01:49:37.479
Oh?207601:49:37.960 --> 01:49:38.680
Just a few seconds.207701:49:40.000 --> 01:49:42.399
I was dreaming. I guess when I woke up. Your207801:49:42.439 --> 01:49:42.920
start of me?207901:49:43.239 --> 01:49:45.199
Why were you yelling? Don't don't, I don't know.208001:49:45.279 --> 01:49:47.039
I have the slightest idea.208101:49:48.399 --> 01:49:51.079
I talked to doctor Handy about you today, told him208201:49:51.079 --> 01:49:52.920
you were run down, and he suggested I get a208301:49:52.960 --> 01:49:53.479
tonic for you.208401:49:54.199 --> 01:49:56.279
I'm dropping at the drugstore on my way home tomorrow evening.208501:49:57.319 --> 01:49:57.640
Tonic.208601:49:58.000 --> 01:49:59.880
Yes, what is it?208701:50:00.279 --> 01:50:00.399
Oh?208801:50:00.520 --> 01:50:05.239
I don't remember something? Something in strictin stricken. Yes, he said,208901:50:05.239 --> 01:50:07.600
we'll give you an appetite. Have have you been kill209001:50:08.520 --> 01:50:12.239
or I've been riding? Nice moon light night, very pleasant?209101:50:12.439 --> 01:50:12.920
Did she hear?209201:50:13.920 --> 01:50:15.000
Did Beverly enjoy it?209301:50:15.439 --> 01:50:15.640
Yeah?209401:50:15.720 --> 01:50:18.079
She's an excellent writer. I've decided to buy that. Philip209501:50:18.119 --> 01:50:20.159
and Thompson going over there tomorrow afternoon.209601:50:20.600 --> 01:50:21.479
Beverly going with you.209701:50:21.880 --> 01:50:24.680
Yeah, she's a good judge of horseboys. Why nothing, I209801:50:25.039 --> 01:50:29.279
just asked, Well, good night, Lucia, see you at breakfast.209901:50:30.760 --> 01:50:32.800
Yes, good night.210001:50:44.600 --> 01:50:47.159
Lucia waits till she hears her husband turn out his light,210101:50:47.600 --> 01:50:50.039
then slips quickly to her door and quietly down the210201:50:50.119 --> 01:50:52.920
stairs to the library. With every beat of her pulse,210301:50:53.000 --> 01:50:55.000
she hears Gil's words.210401:50:55.000 --> 01:50:58.079
Something something in strict and something something in strict.210501:50:59.239 --> 01:51:01.159
She snaps on the light and steps to the shelf210601:51:01.199 --> 01:51:04.560
holding the encyclopedia. She runs a fingers down the long210701:51:04.640 --> 01:51:08.880
line of books LMNO, P to R, and then she210801:51:08.960 --> 01:51:10.199
stops and stares in terror.210901:51:10.560 --> 01:51:11.720
The es t te is missing.211001:51:15.000 --> 01:51:18.039
Lush glances wildly about the room, and then she sees211101:51:18.079 --> 01:51:20.399
it there on the desk, the missing volume and open.211201:51:20.680 --> 01:51:22.520
She rushes to the desk and stares down at the211301:51:22.560 --> 01:51:23.199
open page.211401:51:23.479 --> 01:51:25.239
Good luck, it's Sue.211501:51:26.079 --> 01:51:26.600
It's Sue.211601:51:40.840 --> 01:51:41.680
I'll tell you what, Beverley.211701:51:41.680 --> 01:51:42.359
I'll leave the deal.211801:51:42.319 --> 01:51:43.399
Entirely up to you, up to me.211901:51:44.199 --> 01:51:45.399
Gil, that's not free.212001:51:47.000 --> 01:51:47.520
To be a lemon.212101:51:47.640 --> 01:51:49.560
I don't think she will, because you're going to have212201:51:49.600 --> 01:51:50.319
the job of training.212301:51:50.560 --> 01:51:53.279
Oh, you certainly flatter me, not on the least.212401:51:54.399 --> 01:51:56.359
Oh, good morning, Lucia.212501:51:56.479 --> 01:51:57.880
I just realize what time it was.212601:51:58.479 --> 01:51:59.680
You'll be leaving in a few minutes.212701:52:00.159 --> 01:52:03.119
Yes, it's nine this very minute. I better step on it.212801:52:03.720 --> 01:52:04.479
Mark coffee, Beverly.212901:52:04.640 --> 01:52:07.159
No, thanks. How do you feel, Lucia? Ihy better?213001:52:07.319 --> 01:52:07.720
Much better?213101:52:08.039 --> 01:52:08.960
You better eat something?213201:52:09.159 --> 01:52:09.199
No?213301:52:09.560 --> 01:52:11.039
No, I can't at least some coffee.213401:52:11.159 --> 01:52:13.319
Yes, yes, I'll have some coffee.213501:52:13.520 --> 01:52:16.239
I've got to run. See you later, Lucia. Yes, Gill213601:52:16.479 --> 01:52:18.079
and I'll save this afternoon at too Bely.213701:52:18.199 --> 01:52:21.640
Yes, I'm meeting town at two. Oh, Gil, don't forget213801:52:21.680 --> 01:52:22.560
Lucia's medicine.213901:52:22.800 --> 01:52:24.640
I won't. Good Bye, Lucia.214001:52:26.359 --> 01:52:27.960
Are you meeting Gill and Tom Beverly?214101:52:28.159 --> 01:52:28.319
Yes.214201:52:28.359 --> 01:52:29.760
He wants me to decide on that Philly.214301:52:29.800 --> 01:52:32.479
He's interested in, where did you learn so much about horses?214401:52:32.960 --> 01:52:34.039
Or it seems to be natural?214501:52:35.079 --> 01:52:37.680
Why don't you get interested in horses, Lucia, Why should214601:52:37.720 --> 01:52:39.600
I What are you interested in?214701:52:40.119 --> 01:52:44.920
Well, I'm interested in a few things, my husband in particular.214801:52:45.239 --> 01:52:48.239
You don't act interested in anything. Really, If you'll take214901:52:48.279 --> 01:52:50.279
my advice, you'll snap out of this coma and get215001:52:50.319 --> 01:52:50.760
some pep.215101:52:51.079 --> 01:52:52.319
If you're like women with pep.215201:52:53.279 --> 01:52:55.479
No man cares about a woman who sits around and mops.215301:52:56.239 --> 01:52:57.560
I think you're a hypochondriac.215401:52:58.560 --> 01:53:00.720
Through you should do something about it.215501:53:01.399 --> 01:53:02.000
I intend to.215601:53:03.359 --> 01:53:04.880
I intend to do something about it.215701:53:05.039 --> 01:53:05.920
He's not glad to hear it.215801:53:06.239 --> 01:53:09.319
Shut out and do things, play game, golf, tennis, swim215901:53:09.479 --> 01:53:09.920
and ride.216001:53:10.560 --> 01:53:12.000
Maybe because medicine will fix you up.216101:53:12.439 --> 01:53:13.279
You know all about it?216201:53:13.359 --> 01:53:13.560
To you?216301:53:14.920 --> 01:53:15.319
What is it?216401:53:16.199 --> 01:53:16.600
I don't know.216501:53:16.720 --> 01:53:18.279
It's a tonic or build her up?216601:53:18.359 --> 01:53:21.039
Or I wish I could believe that at least you216701:53:21.079 --> 01:53:40.640
can try it won't hurt you. No, I wonder. Oh,216801:53:41.479 --> 01:53:44.399
come in, doctor, Lucia.216901:53:45.279 --> 01:53:46.600
You call me out here? What's wrong?217001:53:46.960 --> 01:53:48.319
I just couldn't make it into talk.217101:53:48.520 --> 01:53:49.920
Oh, it can't be as bad as that.217201:53:50.479 --> 01:53:52.560
Did Gilbert talk to you about me yesterday?217301:53:52.680 --> 01:53:52.840
Oh?217401:53:52.880 --> 01:53:55.039
I saw gil for a few moments the club during lunch,217501:53:55.159 --> 01:53:56.119
said you were run down?217601:53:56.800 --> 01:54:00.159
Did you give him a prescription for me?217701:54:00.920 --> 01:54:02.960
I never do that until I've examined the patient.217801:54:03.239 --> 01:54:06.199
You didn't give him a description. Well, what did you217901:54:06.239 --> 01:54:07.000
suggest for me?218001:54:07.359 --> 01:54:07.560
Oh?218101:54:07.920 --> 01:54:08.279
I don't know.218201:54:08.359 --> 01:54:10.159
I just mentioned a few tonics you might get for218301:54:10.319 --> 01:54:13.279
you spoke of beefire and wine, sherry, an egg, and218401:54:14.079 --> 01:54:14.560
I don't.218501:54:14.399 --> 01:54:15.119
Remember what else.218601:54:15.319 --> 01:54:16.960
And you mentioned nothing specifically.218701:54:17.119 --> 01:54:17.720
I don't think so.218801:54:19.319 --> 01:54:21.439
I see what seems to be wrong with.218901:54:21.439 --> 01:54:23.479
You, Lucia, I don't know exactly.219001:54:25.039 --> 01:54:31.479
Something has been happening to meet it. Well, frankly, I'm219101:54:31.520 --> 01:54:32.880
afraid I'm losing my mind.219201:54:33.359 --> 01:54:36.439
Come now, we all feel that way at times.219301:54:36.640 --> 01:54:37.279
I'm serious.219401:54:38.359 --> 01:54:39.600
Things happened to me in the night.219501:54:40.159 --> 01:54:41.359
What sort of things? First?219601:54:41.399 --> 01:54:42.560
I thought there were just nightmares.219701:54:43.359 --> 01:54:45.239
When you have a nightmare, you wake up and the219801:54:45.319 --> 01:54:50.159
fear is gone. Realize the truth. This vision that comes219901:54:50.199 --> 01:54:52.560
to me haunts me through the waiting hours as well.220001:54:52.920 --> 01:54:57.720
Vision something I I think it's a person comes through220101:54:57.760 --> 01:55:01.399
my bedroom door, coaches my bed without stretched arms, as220201:55:01.399 --> 01:55:02.840
though it intends to strangle me.220301:55:03.880 --> 01:55:07.039
Each time it comes a little closer. My fear is220401:55:07.079 --> 01:55:09.319
it Eventually it would get to me before a week come.220501:55:11.560 --> 01:55:13.039
You always dream the same dream?220601:55:13.520 --> 01:55:14.239
It is a dream?220701:55:15.279 --> 01:55:15.479
Yes?220801:55:16.199 --> 01:55:16.920
Who is the person?220901:55:17.720 --> 01:55:20.000
I don't know, and you don't think it's really a dream.221001:55:20.159 --> 01:55:23.359
No, I think it's a premonition.221101:55:24.479 --> 01:55:27.520
Well, have you any basis for such a fear in221201:55:27.600 --> 01:55:30.399
real life? Is there someone or something that you're afraid of?221301:55:30.600 --> 01:55:33.760
Doctor, I'm convinced that they're not dreams, and I'm not asleep.221401:55:34.760 --> 01:55:36.399
I'm positive they're not mere dreams.221501:55:36.800 --> 01:55:39.239
Well, I think it's all due to your rundown condition.221601:55:39.600 --> 01:55:41.800
You probably don't sleep as soundly as you should, and221701:55:41.920 --> 01:55:44.000
so you transfer sounds in the night to dreams.221801:55:44.159 --> 01:55:45.560
Nightmare, That's exactly what I mean.221901:55:46.159 --> 01:55:48.520
If I'm only half asleep, I may be transferring actual222001:55:48.640 --> 01:55:50.159
movements and sounds and the dreams.222101:55:50.760 --> 01:55:52.680
In other words, if someone slams the door in the night,222201:55:52.920 --> 01:55:56.000
I may half hear it and attribute it to a dream.222301:55:57.960 --> 01:55:59.079
And perhaps I'm not dreaming.222401:56:00.600 --> 01:56:02.399
I think you'd better come into town and have a222501:56:02.479 --> 01:56:03.880
thorough physical, give.222601:56:03.760 --> 01:56:05.319
Me a check a pur psychiatrist.222701:56:05.520 --> 01:56:07.399
Well, I may have someone to help me. It's the222801:56:07.479 --> 01:56:08.159
usual thing, you know.222901:56:09.079 --> 01:56:12.479
Oh do you handy?223001:56:13.600 --> 01:56:14.520
I'm so frushing.223101:56:14.960 --> 01:56:17.079
Oh no, No, everything's going to be all right.223201:56:18.920 --> 01:56:23.600
I'm afraid that I'm going to die. If someone is223301:56:23.640 --> 01:56:24.439
trying to kill.223401:56:24.359 --> 01:56:25.840
You're not going to die.223501:56:26.000 --> 01:56:26.800
That's ridiculous.223601:56:28.680 --> 01:56:30.239
I call you make an appointment.223701:56:30.560 --> 01:56:32.800
H well, and I meantime, I'm trying not to think223801:56:32.800 --> 01:56:35.600
about it. Keep your mind on something on the brighter side.223901:56:37.079 --> 01:56:54.039
I'll try, Yes, try, Lucia, try hard to keep your224001:56:54.079 --> 01:56:55.359
mind on something brighter.224101:56:55.760 --> 01:56:56.960
But you can't, can you?224201:56:58.600 --> 01:57:01.880
That awful gnawing of jelly and fear occupy every moment.224301:57:02.359 --> 01:57:05.760
Gil and Beverly, Gill and Beverly? How could they do224401:57:06.079 --> 01:57:10.680
such a thing? And as the afternoon fades and dusk224501:57:10.760 --> 01:57:13.039
sets in, there's a knock at Lucia's door.224601:57:15.960 --> 01:57:21.199
Are you asleep, Lucia, No, not asleep. Are you feeling why?224701:57:22.560 --> 01:57:23.880
Seems to have developed a headache?224801:57:24.000 --> 01:57:25.159
Are you eating anything today?224901:57:25.319 --> 01:57:25.359
No?225001:57:25.479 --> 01:57:26.399
I didn't care for anything.225101:57:26.840 --> 01:57:27.720
Well, this will happen.225201:57:28.279 --> 01:57:30.239
Letter take a dose now, I'll measure it for you.225301:57:32.279 --> 01:57:32.680
What is it?225401:57:32.960 --> 01:57:34.920
Why it's the tonic.225501:57:35.640 --> 01:57:36.840
Doctor Handy prescribed.225601:57:37.319 --> 01:57:42.319
Oh, yes, yes he did. There's Beverly down in the library.225701:57:42.600 --> 01:57:43.399
Did you buy the horse?225801:57:43.800 --> 01:57:43.960
Yes?225901:57:44.039 --> 01:57:45.479
Beverley thought she was a fine animal.226001:57:45.680 --> 01:57:47.520
I didn't know Beverly knew so much about horses.226101:57:47.680 --> 01:57:51.840
She's a horsewoman after my own heart is. She rides226201:57:51.880 --> 01:57:52.439
like the wind too.226301:57:53.159 --> 01:57:56.079
She had intended to go home tomorrow. She's staying around.226401:57:56.199 --> 01:57:58.000
She's got to I wouldn't think of her leaving now.226501:57:58.199 --> 01:57:58.479
Why not?226601:57:59.000 --> 01:58:00.800
Well, for one thing, she's and to train the horse?226701:58:02.560 --> 01:58:03.000
What else?226801:58:04.640 --> 01:58:08.960
Nothing else here? Take this a little bitter, but you'll226901:58:08.960 --> 01:58:11.079
get used to it. Gil, ahead, it won't hurt you.227001:58:11.239 --> 01:58:12.920
I don't want it, and why not?227101:58:13.920 --> 01:58:14.880
It has poison in it.227201:58:15.600 --> 01:58:18.199
I suppose it does have a little, yes, but only227301:58:18.319 --> 01:58:19.159
enough to act as a tonic.227401:58:19.199 --> 01:58:19.720
I don't want it.227501:58:20.039 --> 01:58:20.640
I won't take it.227601:58:21.399 --> 01:58:23.159
Are you going to act like a child? Take it227701:58:23.199 --> 01:58:26.560
in good argue? This is ridiculous. I try to do227801:58:26.600 --> 01:58:28.239
anything for you, and you act like a spoiled kid.227901:58:28.359 --> 01:58:29.279
I can't take her.228001:58:30.279 --> 01:58:34.279
You're impossible, Lucia. I'm afraid you need this medicine, but228101:58:34.319 --> 01:58:36.960
you're too confoundedly stubborn. You'd rather sit around and mope.228201:58:37.000 --> 01:58:38.359
All very well, there it is.228301:58:38.760 --> 01:58:41.199
You can take it or not. Stufter trying to help228401:58:41.239 --> 01:58:41.840
you pull out of this.228501:58:42.680 --> 01:58:43.079
Good night.228601:58:43.239 --> 01:58:45.359
No, no, no, no, wait, Gil, I'll take it. I'll228701:58:45.359 --> 01:58:45.640
take it.228801:58:45.760 --> 01:58:46.800
I don't care whether you're doing or not.228901:58:50.159 --> 01:58:50.560
Taking it.229001:58:52.479 --> 01:58:54.680
Terribly bitter and take another dose?229101:58:54.760 --> 01:58:59.119
Around eleven, Gil, where's missus Benson?229201:58:59.560 --> 01:59:01.880
Why I told her she could have the night off,229301:59:02.560 --> 01:59:04.279
but she might like to spend the evening in town.229401:59:05.239 --> 01:59:05.960
You let her off.229501:59:06.079 --> 01:59:07.720
Yeah, she's been sticking pretty close lately.229601:59:08.159 --> 01:59:11.720
Oh, yes, yes she has. Good night.229701:59:11.880 --> 01:59:12.600
Good night, Lucia.229801:59:24.600 --> 01:59:25.159
What's wrong you?229901:59:25.520 --> 01:59:26.199
You look upset?230001:59:26.399 --> 01:59:30.159
I am Lucia didn't want to take it? Why not?230101:59:30.479 --> 01:59:31.439
She's afraid of menace?230201:59:32.199 --> 01:59:32.800
What are you going to do?230301:59:32.960 --> 01:59:34.119
She finally took it or something?230401:59:34.800 --> 01:59:36.760
If I heard all, she'll never take another drop.230501:59:37.199 --> 01:59:37.920
She's got to take it.230601:59:38.000 --> 01:59:39.880
G got to figure out a way to make her230701:59:39.920 --> 01:59:40.159
take it.230801:59:40.199 --> 01:59:41.960
It can't be disguised. It's too bitter.230901:59:42.640 --> 01:59:43.479
Try something else.231001:59:43.880 --> 01:59:45.439
I'll try and coax her into it again.231101:59:45.840 --> 01:59:48.720
Isn't there something that tastes more pleasant or something that231201:59:48.800 --> 01:59:50.199
you could put in milk or orange?231301:59:50.319 --> 01:59:50.600
Juwih?231401:59:53.239 --> 01:59:56.600
I'll find something, of course you will. You've got to.231501:59:57.079 --> 01:59:58.840
I think this is Benson is the cause of a231601:59:58.960 --> 01:59:59.920
dislikeful medicine.231702:00:00.199 --> 02:00:01.159
He's keeping her upset.231802:00:02.159 --> 02:00:03.880
I'm going to let missus Benson go for two or231902:00:03.920 --> 02:00:06.279
three days and maybe something could be accomplished.232002:00:07.239 --> 02:00:12.680
I'll speak to her now. Well, Benson, what are you232102:00:12.760 --> 02:00:13.880
doing standing here in the dark.232202:00:14.520 --> 02:00:17.520
I was just going upstairs to see if mister Durant232302:00:17.560 --> 02:00:18.960
wanted anything before I went out.232402:00:19.279 --> 02:00:22.119
I see, Oh, by the way, I'm staying home for232502:00:22.119 --> 02:00:23.800
a couple of days, and I thought that since you've232602:00:23.800 --> 02:00:26.079
been staying so close to the job, you'd welcome a232702:00:26.119 --> 02:00:28.439
few days leave leave bye.232802:00:29.279 --> 02:00:31.760
Yes, but missus Durant may prefer that.232902:00:31.840 --> 02:00:32.199
I see.233002:00:32.479 --> 02:00:35.000
I think you'd better get a little rest yourself. You233102:00:35.239 --> 02:00:38.119
needn't come back for Friday, but I don't need a rest.233202:00:38.399 --> 02:00:41.960
You come back Friday, yes, very well, said I run233302:00:42.039 --> 02:00:54.439
up and see her before I go. Come in, Oh, Benson,233402:00:55.239 --> 02:00:56.960
I thought you were going into town for the evening.233502:00:57.079 --> 02:00:58.800
I'm leaving in a few minutes, but I hate to233602:00:58.840 --> 02:00:59.880
see you. I'm glad you came.233702:01:00.520 --> 02:01:01.600
I've got to talk to someone.233802:01:02.239 --> 02:01:02.680
I know now.233902:01:02.720 --> 02:01:06.720
They're lot dreams, they are premonitions, and I know who's234002:01:06.760 --> 02:01:07.439
trying to kill me?234102:01:07.600 --> 02:01:09.479
Who my husband and Beverly.234202:01:10.239 --> 02:01:11.840
I know you know.234302:01:12.560 --> 02:01:14.840
I just read them talking long in the library. They234402:01:14.920 --> 02:01:17.439
were talking about the medicine. He said you were too234502:01:17.479 --> 02:01:20.680
stubborn and probably wouldn't take another dose, and she said234602:01:21.079 --> 02:01:22.520
he'd have to find some way to.234702:01:22.600 --> 02:01:25.199
Make you take it, and it is for they want234802:01:25.239 --> 02:01:27.920
me out of the way. Got angry because I refused234902:01:27.960 --> 02:01:29.760
to take it. Oh, yes, and there's something else.235002:01:30.239 --> 02:01:32.199
He just told me that he would not be going235102:01:32.239 --> 02:01:34.600
into town for several days and told me not to235202:01:34.680 --> 02:01:37.840
come back here till Friday. Lord, I'll go on into235302:01:37.920 --> 02:01:41.079
town as planned, but I'll slip back toward midnight and come.235402:01:41.039 --> 02:01:42.920
Up the back way, and I won't take a thing235502:01:43.039 --> 02:01:43.479
that gives me.235602:01:43.720 --> 02:01:47.279
I'll be back at midnight. Thank you, Matain, good night,235702:01:47.479 --> 02:02:03.119
good nightmare. Minutes before twelve, Missus Benson returns to the mansion.235802:02:03.680 --> 02:02:06.279
No lights are burning, so she makes her way quietly235902:02:06.359 --> 02:02:08.760
through the back entrance, slips up the stairs, and taps236002:02:08.840 --> 02:02:10.439
lightly on Lucia's bedroom door.236102:02:12.359 --> 02:02:14.720
Missus Durrant, Missus Durrant.236202:02:16.479 --> 02:02:19.119
Then she turns the knob, opens the door, and.236302:02:19.159 --> 02:02:19.960
Snaps on the light.236402:02:21.039 --> 02:02:22.640
Missus Durrant, are you here?236502:02:22.960 --> 02:02:26.279
And Benson steps quickly toward the bed. The bed is empty,236602:02:26.640 --> 02:02:28.239
but a horrible sight meets her eyes.236702:02:29.399 --> 02:02:35.039
Blood, blood all over the bed. They dug it, then, murderer,236802:02:38.760 --> 02:02:40.760
give me the police department.236902:02:52.560 --> 02:02:54.840
All right, Missus Benson, what happened this evening?237002:02:55.760 --> 02:02:57.920
Earlier in the evening, mister Durrant told me I could237102:02:57.920 --> 02:02:59.960
have the night off since I've been staying close to237202:03:00.079 --> 02:03:02.720
Missus Durant for some time, and then later he said237302:03:02.760 --> 02:03:05.159
he decided to let me off until Friday, but I237402:03:05.279 --> 02:03:06.039
didn't want to go, and.237502:03:06.119 --> 02:03:08.239
He insisted, is there anyone else in the house?237602:03:08.359 --> 02:03:10.239
Yes, Missus Durant's half sister.237702:03:10.119 --> 02:03:12.079
Beverly, did you leave the house.237802:03:12.159 --> 02:03:14.439
Yes, but I went up and told Missus Durant, I'd237902:03:14.479 --> 02:03:15.239
be back about.238002:03:15.079 --> 02:03:18.680
Midnight if you had to Friday. Why did you come238102:03:18.720 --> 02:03:19.359
back at midnight?238202:03:19.520 --> 02:03:25.279
Because we were both frightened of what well. Missus Durant238302:03:25.359 --> 02:03:27.880
had been having premonitions that someone was trying.238402:03:27.680 --> 02:03:28.119
To kill her.238502:03:28.720 --> 02:03:29.760
Who was trying to kill her?238602:03:29.880 --> 02:03:32.119
She didn't know, but she was terribly frightened.238702:03:32.560 --> 02:03:33.239
Is that all No?238802:03:34.119 --> 02:03:36.239
Her husband tried to get her to take some medicine238902:03:36.279 --> 02:03:37.000
he had brought home.239002:03:37.439 --> 02:03:39.199
She refused and he got angry.239102:03:39.479 --> 02:03:40.520
But do you know he was angry.239202:03:40.760 --> 02:03:44.079
I heard him talking about it to Beverly. They were239302:03:44.119 --> 02:03:47.399
in the library, and he told Beverly that Lucia was239402:03:47.560 --> 02:03:50.319
very stubborn, and Beverly said that he'd have to think239502:03:50.359 --> 02:03:51.039
of some other way.239602:03:51.680 --> 02:03:54.680
Did Missus Durant suspect her husband and Beverly of trying239702:03:54.720 --> 02:03:55.520
to do her away with her?239802:03:56.640 --> 02:03:57.560
Yes? She did.239902:03:58.199 --> 02:04:00.520
She was convinced that mister Durant and ever they were240002:04:00.560 --> 02:04:02.680
in love and wanted her out of the way.240102:04:03.079 --> 02:04:06.800
So you came back tonight because you anticipated that something240202:04:07.000 --> 02:04:07.720
was going to happen.240302:04:07.840 --> 02:04:11.720
Yes, the house was dark, so I came up the backstairs,240402:04:11.840 --> 02:04:14.079
knocked on her door, and when I got no answer,240502:04:14.279 --> 02:04:16.039
I came in, turned on the lights.240602:04:16.439 --> 02:04:17.920
Saw she was gone, and.240702:04:18.079 --> 02:04:21.000
Then I saw the bed or covered with blood.240802:04:22.399 --> 02:04:24.720
She wouldn't take the poison, so they did it another way.240902:04:25.359 --> 02:04:27.039
That's what they planned in the library.241002:04:27.399 --> 02:04:28.880
Where are they now any idea?241102:04:29.199 --> 02:04:32.720
Well, they didn't expect me back tonight, so they've probably241202:04:32.760 --> 02:04:35.359
gone to dispose of the body, intending to come back241302:04:35.399 --> 02:04:36.720
here and clean the place up later.241402:04:37.039 --> 02:04:39.960
I see anybody else know about Missus durant s fairs.241502:04:40.199 --> 02:04:43.520
Yes, she talked to doctor Henry. I called him right241602:04:43.560 --> 02:04:45.319
after pulling the police and told him about it.241702:04:46.159 --> 02:04:48.199
He knows, Doctor Henry Caprick.241802:04:48.600 --> 02:04:51.119
The world is the meaning of this All indications Missus241902:04:51.199 --> 02:04:53.880
Durant has been murdered and the body disposed of. Doctor242002:04:53.880 --> 02:04:56.039
I understands. Missus Durant told you that she was afraid242102:04:56.079 --> 02:04:57.800
that something was going to happen to her, but she242202:04:57.920 --> 02:05:01.359
was going to die. Told you that missus Benson here242302:05:02.039 --> 02:05:05.000
I see. Well, she did call me in this morning.242402:05:05.680 --> 02:05:09.119
She'd been having strange dreams, premonitions, she called them. I242502:05:09.279 --> 02:05:10.319
called them hallucinations.242602:05:10.640 --> 02:05:11.840
Who did she think it was?242702:05:12.279 --> 02:05:14.199
Well, she couldn't tell whether it was a man or242802:05:14.199 --> 02:05:17.439
a woman, but someone was always approaching her bed with242902:05:17.520 --> 02:05:20.640
outstretched arms, trying to choke. Do you think it was243002:05:20.720 --> 02:05:24.359
more than a dream? Well, she's a sort of hypochondriac.243102:05:25.159 --> 02:05:26.680
I asked her to come into town where I could243202:05:26.680 --> 02:05:29.199
give her a thorough examination. I didn't take her story243302:05:29.279 --> 02:05:33.560
too seriously, but it certainly puts a different slant on243402:05:33.640 --> 02:05:36.880
the entire picture. Yes, we haven't found a body. I243502:05:36.960 --> 02:05:39.600
have men out searching. Now we'll find it. Why, here's243602:05:39.640 --> 02:05:41.800
mister Durant, his sister in law. I found him about243702:05:41.800 --> 02:05:44.000
a half mile down the beach. How are you durance?243802:05:44.159 --> 02:05:45.359
Even the world goes on here?243902:05:46.439 --> 02:05:46.800
What's wrong?244002:05:46.880 --> 02:05:47.119
Doctor?244102:05:47.399 --> 02:05:51.600
Take a look at that bed? Court Lord? What's happened Lucia?244202:05:52.079 --> 02:05:53.359
But where is she?244302:05:54.159 --> 02:05:56.520
We thought you could enlighten us on that point. What244402:05:56.600 --> 02:05:58.600
do you mean she did?244502:05:59.399 --> 02:06:02.840
Why is she kill it?244602:06:04.359 --> 02:06:05.319
She'll be right in a minute.244702:06:05.359 --> 02:06:06.359
But what's happened?244802:06:06.760 --> 02:06:08.479
We think your wife has been murdered?244902:06:08.680 --> 02:06:09.039
Murdered.245002:06:09.680 --> 02:06:13.359
But what are you doing here, missus Benson? I thought245102:06:13.399 --> 02:06:15.520
you were gone to Friday. Why did you tell her245202:06:15.640 --> 02:06:18.239
to go until Friday? I thought she needed to rest.245302:06:18.399 --> 02:06:21.960
She's been having long hours. But where is Lucia? Where245402:06:22.000 --> 02:06:23.000
are you and your sister in law?245502:06:23.079 --> 02:06:23.159
Ben?245602:06:23.439 --> 02:06:23.600
Why?245702:06:23.680 --> 02:06:26.319
I stepped upstairs and saw Lucia was asleep, So we245802:06:26.600 --> 02:06:28.199
decided to take a little ride down the beach.245902:06:28.680 --> 02:06:32.079
It was still early. Didn't take anything with you, certainly not.246002:06:32.560 --> 02:06:33.479
What do you mean by that?246102:06:34.520 --> 02:06:35.439
What would we take?246202:06:35.640 --> 02:06:35.960
I don't know.246302:06:36.039 --> 02:06:36.680
I just asked.246402:06:37.359 --> 02:06:39.520
Did you two try to get Lucia to take some medicine?246502:06:39.720 --> 02:06:39.760
No?246602:06:40.000 --> 02:06:41.520
Wait a minute, Beverly, that won't do any good.246702:06:42.119 --> 02:06:42.680
Yes we did.246802:06:43.239 --> 02:06:45.199
She was run down and needed a tonic, but she246902:06:45.399 --> 02:06:46.479
refused to take medicine.247002:06:47.039 --> 02:06:48.239
Why did she refuse?247102:06:49.560 --> 02:06:50.039
I don't know.247202:06:50.720 --> 02:06:52.479
Maybe she was afraid of being poisoned.247302:06:52.520 --> 02:06:53.439
That's ridiculous.247402:06:53.439 --> 02:06:54.680
Why should I want to poison her?247502:06:55.479 --> 02:06:56.279
I loved Lucia.247602:06:56.840 --> 02:06:58.640
How long has your sister in law Beverly been here247702:06:58.680 --> 02:07:01.800
with him? I don't know, it's quite some time.247802:07:02.000 --> 02:07:02.560
Just a minute.247902:07:03.199 --> 02:07:04.439
Are you inferring the guillan?248002:07:04.520 --> 02:07:06.760
I'm not inferring anything. I'm merely asking questions.248102:07:06.960 --> 02:07:09.359
Whoever suggested such a thing as lying where Gillan?248202:07:11.199 --> 02:07:13.800
Missus Benson, what have you been saying? What did you248302:07:13.840 --> 02:07:14.199
tell them?248402:07:14.319 --> 02:07:15.159
I told him the truth?248502:07:15.439 --> 02:07:16.640
Do you think I planned to kill Lucia?248602:07:16.680 --> 02:07:16.920
Is that it?248702:07:17.119 --> 02:07:17.279
Yes?248802:07:17.520 --> 02:07:19.359
You and this woman? Why that's ridiculous.248902:07:19.359 --> 02:07:21.199
We'll try to get her to take some medicine. She249002:07:21.279 --> 02:07:22.840
knew you were in love with her sister and you249102:07:22.920 --> 02:07:24.000
were trying to poison her.249202:07:24.119 --> 02:07:25.399
When did she come to that conclusion?249302:07:25.479 --> 02:07:27.079
She had premonitionia that means nothing.249402:07:27.159 --> 02:07:30.199
And besides, I heard you talking, you and Beverly planning249502:07:30.319 --> 02:07:31.119
the whole thing.249602:07:31.399 --> 02:07:33.119
What she's tell you?249702:07:33.640 --> 02:07:37.199
When you realized Lucia wouldn't take the medicine, Beverly said,249802:07:37.239 --> 02:07:38.720
you'd have to think of some other way, some other249902:07:38.760 --> 02:07:39.840
way to what to.250002:07:39.880 --> 02:07:40.520
Get rid of her?250102:07:40.720 --> 02:07:41.159
What else?250202:07:41.840 --> 02:07:43.600
This is the most amazing thing I ever heard of,250302:07:44.880 --> 02:07:47.479
Doctor Handy, You know better than this. Do you think250402:07:47.520 --> 02:07:49.560
I had a reason the lack of wanting to know250502:07:49.640 --> 02:07:50.760
about various medicines?250602:07:51.359 --> 02:07:51.399
No?250702:07:52.119 --> 02:07:55.880
No, I didn't, not at the time. But now now what?250802:07:56.880 --> 02:07:58.640
But I'm sorry to say it all adds up to250902:07:58.720 --> 02:08:01.079
something suspicious more than just go into that.251002:08:02.039 --> 02:08:04.800
Do you do you think I killed Lucia?251102:08:05.079 --> 02:08:06.239
Look about you, look at the room.251202:08:06.560 --> 02:08:07.600
What else am I to think?251302:08:08.039 --> 02:08:09.640
What was the tanic you're trying to give your wife?251402:08:09.760 --> 02:08:13.920
You can't stricken that right, Durant, Yes, it was one251502:08:13.920 --> 02:08:17.520
of the things doctor Hanny mentioned. It was iron quin,251602:08:17.600 --> 02:08:20.000
iron and strickman. Did you mention that, doctor, Well, I251702:08:20.079 --> 02:08:22.760
suppose I did. It's a commonly known tonic. Did you251802:08:23.399 --> 02:08:26.960
add anything else to a Durant? Certainly not. I'm out,251902:08:27.000 --> 02:08:28.600
a sergeant. What's the report?252002:08:29.600 --> 02:08:32.119
A bottle contained iron quine, iron and strickenan and the252102:08:32.159 --> 02:08:33.880
heavy content of arsenic ausenic.252202:08:34.279 --> 02:08:38.079
But it is impossible I put nothing in it.252302:08:38.640 --> 02:08:39.760
What would I get aarsenic?252402:08:39.960 --> 02:08:42.319
It was in there just the same, Lord, doctor.252502:08:42.760 --> 02:08:44.239
It isn't true, you know it isn't.252602:08:44.920 --> 02:08:47.119
I hate to say it, Gil, but the evidence looks252702:08:47.199 --> 02:08:47.680
bad for you.252802:08:48.039 --> 02:08:49.560
Benson knows what all this is about.252902:08:50.000 --> 02:08:52.319
She's lying. She knows Gil wouldn't do such a thing.253002:08:52.399 --> 02:08:54.760
She's back of it all. I don't know, but believe me,253102:08:54.840 --> 02:08:55.479
I'll find out.253202:08:55.520 --> 02:08:58.479
If I had I'll do another circumstances, I think you'd253302:08:58.479 --> 02:09:00.920
already come down a headquarter so we can keep you separated.253402:09:01.560 --> 02:09:03.359
Come on, and no more targing.253502:09:12.640 --> 02:09:18.119
Forty eight hours pass hours of relentless grilling, endless questioning. Finally,253602:09:18.159 --> 02:09:20.760
Gill and Beverly are released on a writ of habeas corpus.253702:09:21.840 --> 02:09:24.439
Now weeks have gone by and Lucia's body has not253802:09:24.560 --> 02:09:27.239
been discovered, and so the District Attorney is forced to253902:09:27.279 --> 02:09:30.119
make a public announcement that, in spite of the apparent evidence,254002:09:30.439 --> 02:09:33.560
no murder charges can be preferred against Gill and Beverly254102:09:33.920 --> 02:09:36.960
due to lack of corpus, the lick Guy, the failure254202:09:37.039 --> 02:09:38.520
to produce Lucia's body.254302:09:39.640 --> 02:09:41.840
Now Beverly and Gill are in the live journey.254402:09:42.720 --> 02:09:45.720
Lovely, I want you to know how wonderful I think254502:09:45.760 --> 02:09:48.000
you've been, the way you've stuck right beside me through254602:09:48.079 --> 02:09:48.439
this thing.254702:09:49.239 --> 02:09:51.760
I know it's been a trial for you, and well254802:09:53.119 --> 02:09:54.239
you're one girl in a million.254902:09:54.640 --> 02:09:55.199
Thanks Gil.255002:09:55.359 --> 02:09:56.800
But isn't over yet.255102:09:57.720 --> 02:09:59.720
They won't stop their search for Lucia's body. And if255202:10:00.479 --> 02:10:01.800
we haven't a chance, I know.255302:10:02.000 --> 02:10:05.199
But what can we do about it? Why couldn't we255402:10:05.279 --> 02:10:06.920
leave the country together?255502:10:07.560 --> 02:10:09.439
Necessarily may be sure to follow us.255602:10:10.079 --> 02:10:11.640
We could go separately in different.255702:10:11.399 --> 02:10:13.239
Ways and meet someplace later on.255802:10:13.359 --> 02:10:14.039
Is that's what you mean?255902:10:14.880 --> 02:10:16.520
Yes, that's what I mean.256002:10:16.840 --> 02:10:19.600
It seems to have been mad. That'soul equal and out256102:10:19.640 --> 02:10:20.359
and out confession.256202:10:20.439 --> 02:10:23.000
But girl, if they find Lucia's body, we haven't a chance.256302:10:23.079 --> 02:10:24.119
It's too strong against you.256402:10:24.279 --> 02:10:25.039
We never could come back.256502:10:25.079 --> 02:10:25.399
Beverly.256602:10:26.720 --> 02:10:28.840
I don't want to die, Gill and I don't want256702:10:28.880 --> 02:10:29.760
anything to happen to you.256802:10:30.000 --> 02:10:30.319
Beverly.256902:10:30.399 --> 02:10:32.640
I I don't know what to say.257002:10:32.720 --> 02:10:33.560
I frightened, girl.257102:10:33.600 --> 02:10:35.840
I can't stay here with a terrible fear hanging over me.257202:10:35.880 --> 02:10:36.520
I'll go mad.257302:10:37.600 --> 02:10:39.520
If you don't go, then I real I'll lead tonight.257402:10:39.600 --> 02:10:41.520
Please, Beverly, I need you more than ever now, Please257502:10:41.560 --> 02:10:41.840
don't go.257602:10:42.119 --> 02:10:43.039
Don't worry kills it.257702:10:43.720 --> 02:10:46.399
She won't leave your God, I won't.257802:10:47.680 --> 02:10:50.560
I'll see that you both go together and stay together257902:10:50.640 --> 02:10:50.840
for a.258002:10:50.960 --> 02:10:51.920
Long long time.258102:10:52.039 --> 02:10:55.439
Lucia, What does this mean? We thought you were dead?258202:10:56.560 --> 02:10:57.159
Where have you been?258302:10:57.279 --> 02:11:01.000
What happened to you? You thought I would dance? Well258402:11:01.039 --> 02:11:03.800
I'm not. I'm live enough to pull this trigger.258502:11:04.479 --> 02:11:06.880
I've been behind those grapes and I heard every word258602:11:07.000 --> 02:11:07.479
you said.258702:11:08.279 --> 02:11:10.399
Now I know you're in love with each other. Now258802:11:10.439 --> 02:11:12.000
I knew you wanted to do away with me.258902:11:12.199 --> 02:11:15.479
You love with Beverly from the day she came here.259002:11:16.159 --> 02:11:17.760
She took you away from me. I didn't.259102:11:17.800 --> 02:11:18.840
We never thought of such a thing.259202:11:18.920 --> 02:11:21.560
Never mind, why do you lie about it? You do259302:11:21.720 --> 02:11:22.039
love her?259402:11:22.279 --> 02:11:23.119
Why don't you admit it?259502:11:23.479 --> 02:11:24.439
I love Beverly?259602:11:24.640 --> 02:11:28.560
Yes, you certainly have a vicious mind, Lucia. For the259702:11:28.640 --> 02:11:29.680
first time, I see.259802:11:29.520 --> 02:11:30.479
You what you really are.259902:11:30.600 --> 02:11:33.479
I never even thought of such a thing. Now that260002:11:33.560 --> 02:11:37.560
you mention it, I I realized the truth. Yes, I260102:11:37.640 --> 02:11:41.039
do love Beverly. Why shouldn't I? And it's Lucia's fault.260202:11:41.279 --> 02:11:44.399
She's the cause of it, a suspicious minded devil. She260302:11:44.520 --> 02:11:46.479
let her imagination run away with her. She built this260402:11:46.600 --> 02:11:47.359
thing up, and now it's.260502:11:47.279 --> 02:11:50.800
Boomerang on her. What a mess you've made of.260602:11:50.840 --> 02:11:55.439
Things, Lucia, JU mean you and Beverly.260702:11:56.920 --> 02:11:58.479
It didn't plan, certainly.260802:11:58.239 --> 02:12:00.960
Not you, just about your mind?260902:12:01.880 --> 02:12:02.600
Oh gil.261002:12:04.119 --> 02:12:09.399
Gil my god, I was sure.261102:12:14.600 --> 02:12:15.119
I'm sorry.261202:12:15.199 --> 02:12:18.399
That's the way it is. And there's no one to261302:12:18.479 --> 02:12:20.640
blame but her own miserable self.261402:12:28.560 --> 02:12:32.239
No one to blame but her own, miserable, jealous, suspicious261502:12:32.439 --> 02:12:37.439
minded self. Lucia planned the whole thing from the beginning.261602:12:37.760 --> 02:12:40.000
She thought they were in love, thought they were planning261702:12:40.039 --> 02:12:43.399
to kill her. Lucia never had a dream, never had261802:12:43.439 --> 02:12:47.560
a premonition. She planted that in the housekeeper's mind and261902:12:47.840 --> 02:12:48.680
in the doctor's.262002:12:49.359 --> 02:12:50.199
She put the rat.262102:12:50.119 --> 02:12:52.840
Poison in the tonic, She put the bedroom in disorder,262202:12:53.279 --> 02:12:56.920
cut herself of smeared blood on the bed, and then disappeared.262302:12:57.920 --> 02:13:00.000
When she read that they couldn't bring a murder child262402:13:00.399 --> 02:13:04.760
without the body, she came back to Kilgill and Beverly herself.262502:13:05.520 --> 02:13:08.359
You see, Lucia didn't know about that little article in262602:13:08.439 --> 02:13:11.159
the law called corpus Nickti.262702:13:35.600 --> 02:13:37.640
CBS has presented The Whistler.262802:13:40.800 --> 02:13:44.520
The original music for this production was composed and conducted262902:13:44.600 --> 02:13:48.239
by Wilbur Hatch. The Whistler was written by and directed263002:13:48.279 --> 02:13:51.560
by J. Donald Wilson and originates from Columbia Square in Hollywood.263102:13:52.479 --> 02:13:54.319
Next Sunday, nine fifteen, I.263202:13:54.680 --> 02:13:57.439
The Whistler will return to tell you the eerie tale263302:13:57.520 --> 02:13:59.760
of Back from Beyond.263402:14:03.840 --> 02:14:19.319
This is the Columbia Broadcasting System, My.263502:14:19.520 --> 02:14:24.319
Dear, the evening has run its course, and soon the263602:14:24.520 --> 02:14:29.960
sun will rise. Over all of this, I do suppose263702:14:30.119 --> 02:14:32.760
it's time for you to return home and for me263802:14:33.000 --> 02:14:38.640
to wherever it is I come from. But please do263902:14:38.880 --> 02:14:43.359
come back, and soon I'll be right here, ready to264002:14:43.479 --> 02:14:49.680
share another fun and fearful evening. As always, same time,264102:14:50.920 --> 02:14:56.399
same place right here. But if I may ask one264202:14:56.600 --> 02:15:00.640
more kindness of you as you make your way home,264302:15:00.760 --> 02:15:05.159
as you march through the dark into the lightning streets264402:15:05.199 --> 02:15:08.600
of early morning, and as you blink away the day264502:15:09.600 --> 02:15:13.800
to go to sleep, take one moment and be thankful264602:15:14.760 --> 02:15:19.439
for what you have, and I'll be seeing you soon
