Unknown Broadcast returns with four old-time radio horror stories, classic OTR suspense, vintage radio mystery, and eerie anthology drama pulled from somewhere beyond the static.

Tonight’s transmission begins with a troubled girl whose uncanny gift for finding lost things draws her toward a missing woman, a frightened family, and something buried much too close to home. Then the doors close inside an enormous department store, where a poet discovers that the mannequins are not the only inhabitants waiting for nightfall. After that, a bachelor party becomes an impossible murder mystery involving a dead stranger, a vanished apartment, and five extremely important canaries.

Finally, The Whistler follows a jealous wife whose plan to eliminate “the other woman” rests upon one fatal assumption.

🔎 “The Girl Who Found Things” — CBS Radio Mystery Theater
Iris Lloyd is defiant, unpredictable, and apparently clairvoyant. When she is brought to the Wheeler house to help locate a missing woman, her disturbing flashes point toward a taxi driver, a secret in the woods, and a family desperate to keep the truth lost forever.
🌙 “Evening Primrose” — Escape
Poet Charles Snell hides inside Bracey’s department store to escape ordinary life, only to discover an entire secret society already living between its counters and display windows. Falling in love with Ella brings him into conflict with their rigid rules—and with the mysterious Dark Men who make certain troublesome residents disappear.
🐤 “Five Canaries in the Room” — Suspense
After his bachelor party, Ronald Denham becomes entangled in a murder involving a dead stranger, a missing apartment, and five noisy canaries. The crime appears impossible, but even a vanished room leaves clues behind.
💔 “The Other Woman” — The Whistler
Convinced her husband is leaving her for his secretary, Olivia Martin transforms a private flight into a calculated murder plot. Jealousy gives her a target, a plan, and absolute certainty—until the truth reveals that she chose the wrong woman.

Four stories. Four things that should have remained hidden. Some people spend their lives searching for the truth. Tonight, the truth knows exactly where to find them.

00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:13.919
Ah, my dear, so good to see you back. Oh

2
00:00:13.960 --> 00:00:19.280
what's that well, of course, of course, please please have

3
00:00:19.359 --> 00:00:24.960
a seat by the fire. I know it's warm out there,

4
00:00:25.039 --> 00:00:29.120
but at night the chill still cuts through the flesh

5
00:00:29.160 --> 00:00:35.920
straight to the bone. So enjoy warming yourself as we

6
00:00:36.079 --> 00:00:42.920
find something chilly to enjoy. I'll have the tea steeping.

7
00:00:43.799 --> 00:00:51.799
While this story begins to simmer on its own, well,

8
00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:57.439
just kick back and relax. After all, if you have

9
00:00:57.560 --> 00:01:03.679
any anxiety in you, at least you aren't The Girls

10
00:01:04.359 --> 00:01:14.280
who Found Things.

11
00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:23.959
Come in.

12
00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:29.239
Welcome him e g.

13
00:01:29.480 --> 00:01:29.920
Marshall.

14
00:01:31.560 --> 00:01:36.920
Welcome to the sound of suspense. Welcome to the fear

15
00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:43.719
you can hear, but mostly to the world of terrifying imagination.

16
00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:48.719
In the next fifty two minutes, you hear a story

17
00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:53.480
about a girl with a most unusual talent, a talent

18
00:01:53.640 --> 00:02:00.480
for finding lost dolls or dead bodies. May not be

19
00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:04.359
glad you met Iris Lloyd, but we don't think you'll

20
00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:05.439
forget her and.

21
00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:11.960
Faith and faint. I'm here, I'm here, Come and find me.

22
00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:14.280
Where are you house?

23
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:16.879
My poor dolly?

24
00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:19.159
Where held me?

25
00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:20.599
Help me?

26
00:02:21.479 --> 00:02:30.199
It's a dark and I'm afraid.

27
00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:36.479
And our mystery drama, The Girl who Found Things was

28
00:02:36.520 --> 00:02:40.400
written especially for the Mystery theater by Henry Slesser and

29
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:43.639
stars Norman Rose. It is sponsored in part by the

30
00:02:43.719 --> 00:02:48.039
Kellogg Company, makers of Kellogg's special k cereal, and by

31
00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:52.800
Anheuser Busch Incorporated, brewers of Budweiser. I'll be back shortly

32
00:02:53.400 --> 00:03:08.520
with that one on you, and now Act one of

33
00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:14.360
the girl who found things. It begins serenely enough in

34
00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:18.319
the pleasant little town of Medvale, but with a woman

35
00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:21.599
who is preparing to leave it just as soon as

36
00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:22.759
her taxi arrives.

37
00:03:24.879 --> 00:03:26.759
Come in, Lucas, the day is apen.

38
00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:30.319
Oh, for heaven's sake, that man's death.

39
00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:35.800
Oh, abram As, will there? I hope I'm not too early.

40
00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:38.280
No, I'm all packed. You can take that trunk in

41
00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:41.039
the hallway first. Then I've got a few small suitcases,

42
00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:42.560
but they can go on the back seat with me.

43
00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:46.680
As ma'am. That all you're taking the Europe I.

44
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:50.479
Sent the rest ahead to the ships. Well, go on, Lucas,

45
00:03:50.759 --> 00:03:52.039
start loading that taxi.

46
00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:56.319
Yes, ma'am, Yeah, I was just wondering if there is

47
00:03:56.400 --> 00:03:59.039
something you wanted me to do in the house for

48
00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:00.280
closing up.

49
00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:02.759
You know it's all been done, Lucas.

50
00:04:03.039 --> 00:04:05.120
You're sure you turned off the gas.

51
00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:09.719
Let this be How about the fireplace I see ahead

52
00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:11.080
of fires morning?

53
00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:12.680
Are you sure it's good and cold?

54
00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:13.199
Oh?

55
00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:15.639
I suppose you could check it again, just in case.

56
00:04:15.919 --> 00:04:22.040
Better received than sorry, they say. Seems to me you

57
00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:25.399
got a couple of embers burning there and maybe I

58
00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:26.639
could put them out.

59
00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:30.800
For the shovel please, sorry, Lucas, Yes, ma'am.

60
00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:34.040
I'm going about this as fast as I can.

61
00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:40.839
Yeah, you see this isn't easy for me.

62
00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:45.279
That isn't Look at seven stakes. Put the shovel back.

63
00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:47.600
You're tracking ashes all over the floor.

64
00:04:47.959 --> 00:04:51.879
Please please turn around, Miss Wheeler.

65
00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:55.800
Don't look at me, Lucas, are you crazy?

66
00:04:55.959 --> 00:04:58.279
I can't do this if you're looking at.

67
00:04:58.160 --> 00:04:59.800
Me, look at put that down.

68
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:02.120
I'm sorry, Miss we are.

69
00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:11.120
Had to do it. Misswearing, I had.

70
00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:21.519
Nae pick you up, take you outside for the woods.

71
00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:28.480
That's when I got to bury miss.

72
00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:40.319
How much? Father David? We've been driving for.

73
00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:42.720
All almost their darling, Just relaxed.

74
00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:45.680
Tell me more about your aunt's face. I don't really

75
00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:46.839
feel prepared to meet her.

76
00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:49.680
No one's ever fully prepared for ant's face. I warn

77
00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:51.680
you that she's something of a character.

78
00:05:51.800 --> 00:05:54.240
Just waiting to be discovered by Monthly Digest.

79
00:05:54.600 --> 00:05:57.399
Anyway, after my mother died, she became less fancy and

80
00:05:57.439 --> 00:05:58.040
more motherly.

81
00:05:58.199 --> 00:06:00.000
That's why she was so upset when I got married

82
00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:02.079
Aid and failed to do my filial duty.

83
00:06:01.959 --> 00:06:05.199
By bringing your bride home for approval something like that.

84
00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:07.600
I suppose she's going to resent me for being two

85
00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:08.399
years too late.

86
00:06:08.519 --> 00:06:10.680
I'll take my word for it. She'll be crazy about you.

87
00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:14.160
But remember what I said, she's an old gypsy. Don't

88
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:16.600
be surprised if she dragged out a crystal ball and

89
00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:20.079
starts predicting your future. Speaking of which, there's our future

90
00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:21.959
for the next few months, straight ahead of us the

91
00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:23.079
old homestead.

92
00:06:26.439 --> 00:06:28.680
David, is that yours doesn't raid?

93
00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:34.680
David handsome and oh, I'm so glad to see you.

94
00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:39.000
It's wonderful seeing you of faith. Meet Rowena, well, and

95
00:06:39.160 --> 00:06:40.040
it's about time.

96
00:06:40.160 --> 00:06:44.399
Hello missus Demers. Nice to meet you at last. Oh, David,

97
00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:49.240
she's beautiful. Come inside, Come in, I've got a fire going.

98
00:06:52.879 --> 00:06:54.120
Let me take your coat.

99
00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:54.360
My dear.

100
00:06:55.480 --> 00:06:57.040
Oh what a lovely fern.

101
00:06:57.560 --> 00:06:58.040
What is it?

102
00:06:58.160 --> 00:06:59.079
Link sable?

103
00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:01.279
I told her Weena she ought to wear the label

104
00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:04.959
on the outside of the people. Oh, well, I didn't

105
00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:07.639
know you had company at Oh, yes.

106
00:07:07.920 --> 00:07:11.720
This is Lieutenant Reese, Lieutenant. This is my nephew, David

107
00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:13.319
Wheeler and his wife Rowena.

108
00:07:14.120 --> 00:07:14.600
Lieutenant.

109
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:18.240
That isn't a military title, isn't it now, sir, I'm

110
00:07:18.279 --> 00:07:19.480
with the police.

111
00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:20.519
Of course. Well how do you do?

112
00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:22.240
I'm sorry we have.

113
00:07:22.199 --> 00:07:24.560
To meet this way, but then I always seem to

114
00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:25.920
meet people when they're in trouble.

115
00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:28.839
Of course, I've known missus DeMars for some time.

116
00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:31.360
Or Lieutenant Reese has been a wonderful help of my

117
00:07:31.439 --> 00:07:34.959
charity work, David, and he's been such a comfort since

118
00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:37.639
this awful thing happened.

119
00:07:37.800 --> 00:07:42.199
Yes, ah, well it's been years since I was in

120
00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:42.680
this room.

121
00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:45.959
I'd appreciate it if you and I could have a

122
00:07:45.959 --> 00:07:47.240
word alone.

123
00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:49.680
Rowena, I'll tell you what. Why don't you and I

124
00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:51.920
go upstairs and I'll show you your room? Yes, that

125
00:07:51.959 --> 00:07:54.480
would be fun. I can even show you the room

126
00:07:54.519 --> 00:07:57.439
where David was born and his old nursery.

127
00:07:59.480 --> 00:08:04.360
Well how long has it been since you left Medvale,

128
00:08:04.399 --> 00:08:05.000
mister Wheeler?

129
00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:06.399
Oh? Maybe ten years.

130
00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:09.480
I've been back here on visits, of course, once when

131
00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:12.079
my father died four years ago. As you know, our

132
00:08:12.120 --> 00:08:14.839
family businesses down south. Yes, yes, I now you and

133
00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:19.560
your sister, my half sister. Yes, you and your half sister, Geraldine,

134
00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:23.079
you were the only proprietors of the mill, weren't you.

135
00:08:23.480 --> 00:08:25.839
That's right, But you did most of the managing.

136
00:08:25.959 --> 00:08:26.319
I got it.

137
00:08:27.519 --> 00:08:30.639
When your parents died, Miss Wheeler kept the estate and

138
00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:33.279
you went to Virginia to manage the mill. That's how

139
00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:38.159
it was right, That's how it was successfully. Would you say, Lieutenant,

140
00:08:38.159 --> 00:08:40.159
I'm going to save you a great deal of time.

141
00:08:40.960 --> 00:08:44.559
Geraldine and I didn't get along. We saw as little

142
00:08:44.600 --> 00:08:46.480
of each other as we both could arrange, and that

143
00:08:46.679 --> 00:08:47.440
was very little.

144
00:08:47.919 --> 00:08:49.200
Thank you for being frank.

145
00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:52.240
I could even guess your next question, Lieutenant. You'd like

146
00:08:52.279 --> 00:08:55.120
to know when I saw Geraldine last?

147
00:08:55.559 --> 00:08:56.159
When did you?

148
00:08:56.600 --> 00:08:59.960
Three months ago in Virginia on her semi annual.

149
00:08:59.720 --> 00:09:00.399
Visit of the mill.

150
00:09:00.960 --> 00:09:04.159
But you were in Medvale after that, weren't you. But yes,

151
00:09:04.240 --> 00:09:06.039
I came up to see Geraldine in March on a

152
00:09:06.039 --> 00:09:09.120
business matter. As my aunt may have told you. Geraldine

153
00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:12.759
refused to see me. And what sort of business matter

154
00:09:12.960 --> 00:09:16.039
was it? I wanted Geraldine to approve a bank loan

155
00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:17.919
I wished to make to purchase new equipment.

156
00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:21.399
She was against it. Wouldn't even discuss it. So I

157
00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:25.200
went home and you never saw her again. Never.

158
00:09:25.840 --> 00:09:29.360
And in case you're wondering, Lieutenant, I have no idea

159
00:09:29.440 --> 00:09:32.320
where she is, no idea at all.

160
00:09:40.799 --> 00:09:43.559
Sure you don't want to tea Rowena, No, thank you,

161
00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:45.399
Aunt Faith I'll stick to Scott.

162
00:09:45.480 --> 00:09:48.159
I have some tea, darling. And he wants to read

163
00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:49.399
your future in the leaves.

164
00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:54.080
I wish I could read the future rather the past.

165
00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:55.360
You're thinking about Geraldine.

166
00:09:55.440 --> 00:09:58.080
I simply can't understand what became of it, David. So

167
00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:00.399
she was all set for that trip to Europe. Some

168
00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:03.879
of her bag were already on the ship. You remember Lucas,

169
00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:07.159
the taxi driver. He came out here to pick her up,

170
00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:10.879
take her to the station. But she wasn't here. She

171
00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:11.720
wasn't anywhere.

172
00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:15.120
Well, I suppose the police checked all the usual sources.

173
00:10:14.840 --> 00:10:19.080
Hospital molds, everywhere. That Lieutenant Reese said. Anything could have

174
00:10:19.080 --> 00:10:21.320
happened to her. She might have been robbed and murdered,

175
00:10:21.360 --> 00:10:23.919
she might have lost her memory, she might even have

176
00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:27.279
well this I'd never believed, but Lieutenant Reese said she

177
00:10:27.799 --> 00:10:31.320
might have disappeared deliberately with some man. I know what

178
00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:35.440
happened to her, William. She just left, She just walked

179
00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:39.080
out of this big, gloomy house and this crawy little town.

180
00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:42.720
She was sick of living alone. David, I have an

181
00:10:42.759 --> 00:10:47.399
idea about how we can find Geraldine. Really, I'm going

182
00:10:47.440 --> 00:10:49.879
to ask Iris Lloyd where Geraldine is?

183
00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:51.240
Ask whom?

184
00:10:51.480 --> 00:10:54.759
Iris Lloyd. Don't tell me you've never heard of the child,

185
00:10:55.279 --> 00:10:56.919
for there was a story in the papers about her

186
00:10:56.919 --> 00:10:59.600
only two months ago, and heaven knows, I've mentioned her

187
00:10:59.639 --> 00:11:01.120
in my le there's a dozen times.

188
00:11:01.159 --> 00:11:01.960
I remember.

189
00:11:02.399 --> 00:11:05.679
She's the one who's psychic or something, some sort of orphan. Yes,

190
00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:08.720
Iris is a ward of the state, a resident at

191
00:11:08.759 --> 00:11:12.240
the Medvale Home for Girls. I've been vice chairman of

192
00:11:12.240 --> 00:11:14.320
the place for dumpy years. That's how I know her.

193
00:11:14.759 --> 00:11:18.080
But she's sixteen, David. Absolutely uncanny.

194
00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:19.840
And what makes her such a phenomenon.

195
00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:23.919
She's a fear David, A genuine clairvoyance of not.

196
00:11:23.919 --> 00:11:25.120
A medium at sixteen.

197
00:11:25.279 --> 00:11:28.080
Oh no, I suppose you could call her a finder.

198
00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:31.480
She seems to have the ability to find things that

199
00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:35.440
are lost people too. How does she do it? I'm

200
00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:39.240
not sure Iris knows herself. The gift hasn't made the

201
00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:43.360
poor child happy. Such talents rarely, do you know. One

202
00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:46.559
day the home had a picnic at Compton Lake, they

203
00:11:46.600 --> 00:11:49.919
discovered an eight year old named Dorothea was missing. They

204
00:11:49.919 --> 00:11:54.039
couldn't find her until Iras Lloyd began screaming. Screaming, these

205
00:11:54.080 --> 00:11:56.919
insights cause a great pain. But she was able to

206
00:11:56.960 --> 00:12:00.360
describe the place where Dorothea could be found. The girl

207
00:12:00.360 --> 00:12:01.360
had sprained her ankle.

208
00:12:01.399 --> 00:12:03.879
Oh, you're right, Andy, Darling. I don't agree with you.

209
00:12:03.960 --> 00:12:05.879
Let's just leave the search to the police.

210
00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:10.000
David, David, I've arranged with the home for Iris to

211
00:12:10.200 --> 00:12:11.320
spend some time with us.

212
00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:14.720
Are you serious you invited that girl here?

213
00:12:14.840 --> 00:12:17.960
Well, she has to become acquainted with Geraldine's aura. Don't

214
00:12:17.960 --> 00:12:20.360
you see the awe that's still in this house.

215
00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:23.559
I won't have it. I'm sorry, Annie, but the whole

216
00:12:23.600 --> 00:12:24.360
thing's ridiculous.

217
00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:26.320
Oh. I knew you would object, David, but I'm afraid

218
00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:29.279
I have to insist. We're picking up the girl this afternoon.

219
00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:32.480
Really, now, I say, you understand.

220
00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:37.320
My dear, don't you. Yes, I understand, missus, and I'm

221
00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:39.919
looking forward to meeting Iris.

222
00:12:40.039 --> 00:12:40.399
Lloyd.

223
00:12:49.120 --> 00:12:52.519
Please come in, miss I suppose this is the nephew

224
00:12:52.600 --> 00:12:53.320
you told me about it.

225
00:12:53.480 --> 00:12:56.919
Yes, sister, this is mister David Wheeler. David, this is

226
00:12:57.000 --> 00:12:58.879
sister Clotilde who runs the home.

227
00:12:59.080 --> 00:13:00.679
How do you do, sister? How do you do?

228
00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:04.519
In case your aunt hasn't told you, mister Wheeler, I'm

229
00:13:04.519 --> 00:13:07.200
not at all in favor of this move. I think

230
00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:10.679
it's wrong to encourage Iris in its delusion of her.

231
00:13:10.919 --> 00:13:12.799
Well, when you and I agree with each other, Sister,

232
00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:16.120
it's not a delusion, Sister Totild, it's a gift from God.

233
00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:19.639
She is undisciplined, you might even say wild, but you

234
00:13:19.919 --> 00:13:22.720
are letting us have her, sister, she can come home

235
00:13:22.759 --> 00:13:25.960
with us. Did you think my poor objections carry any weight,

236
00:13:26.120 --> 00:13:31.360
Missus Demrist? One moment, Sister Pauline, would you send Iris

237
00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:31.799
Lloyd in?

238
00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:35.080
Now?

239
00:13:36.519 --> 00:13:37.279
Shall I come in?

240
00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:43.879
Yes? Iras come in. Iris. You know, Missus Demerist, this

241
00:13:44.039 --> 00:13:47.799
is her nephew, mister Wheeler. Hello, hell you remember me.

242
00:13:47.919 --> 00:13:50.159
Iris have been coming here at least three or four

243
00:13:50.200 --> 00:13:51.960
times a year to see all your girls.

244
00:13:52.120 --> 00:13:53.159
Yes, Missus Demerist.

245
00:13:53.279 --> 00:13:55.480
Now the directors have been good enough to let us

246
00:13:55.879 --> 00:13:59.279
take you home with us for a while. We need

247
00:13:59.320 --> 00:14:02.720
your help. We want you to see if you can

248
00:14:02.799 --> 00:14:04.799
find someone who is lost.

249
00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:07.720
Yes, Missus Dennrist, I'd like to come home with you.

250
00:14:08.320 --> 00:14:10.080
I'd like to help you find Missus Wheeler.

251
00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:16.240
Then you know about my poor niece. Iris. The Secret

252
00:14:16.399 --> 00:14:19.320
Service couldn't have secretary of Missus Demerist. You know how

253
00:14:19.360 --> 00:14:19.840
girls are.

254
00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:20.480
Well.

255
00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:22.480
I guess we can get started at any time. If

256
00:14:22.559 --> 00:14:23.320
Missus Lloyd is.

257
00:14:23.320 --> 00:14:27.639
Ready, please call her Iris. Mister Wheeler, remember that you're

258
00:14:27.759 --> 00:14:29.480
still dealing.

259
00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:41.000
With a child. Iris. I hope you'll enjoy staying with us.

260
00:14:41.120 --> 00:14:43.120
I have a lovely room for you. I'm sure you'll

261
00:14:43.159 --> 00:14:43.440
like it.

262
00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:44.879
Do you know what I really like?

263
00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:47.679
What's that a cigarette?

264
00:14:47.799 --> 00:14:48.200
Iris?

265
00:14:48.919 --> 00:14:51.720
Don't tell me you smoke Iris only.

266
00:14:51.519 --> 00:14:53.320
When I can get away with it spelled.

267
00:14:53.480 --> 00:14:56.279
You're not getting away with it now, for Heaven's sake.

268
00:14:56.480 --> 00:15:02.000
Oh, never mind, never mind.

269
00:15:01.799 --> 00:15:07.720
Uh, hello there, mister Wheeler.

270
00:15:08.039 --> 00:15:12.360
Oh Lucas, Uh, how are you? How's the taxi business?

271
00:15:12.399 --> 00:15:12.879
M e?

272
00:15:13.240 --> 00:15:16.039
Good day doctor you man, mister Wheler.

273
00:15:15.759 --> 00:15:18.200
I know, Lucas. I'm sorry. I gotta get these groceries home.

274
00:15:18.279 --> 00:15:19.559
We have company for dinner tonight.

275
00:15:19.720 --> 00:15:25.279
She's at your place and she that girl what girl?

276
00:15:25.840 --> 00:15:31.720
And Irish Lloyd, the girl who finds things. I'm afraid of,

277
00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:36.360
mister Whilly. I'm afraid she'll find out what we did.

278
00:15:37.320 --> 00:15:39.120
Did you ever say anything like that to me again.

279
00:15:39.480 --> 00:15:43.440
I'm scared, mister Whaley. I'm telling you that girl is peculiar.

280
00:15:44.519 --> 00:15:47.960
She knows what you're thinking. They say.

281
00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:54.480
She knows where you can find anything, even dead body

282
00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:57.279
got to wait from me. Lucas, I told you to

283
00:15:57.320 --> 00:16:00.440
keep away from me when I came here. Now away

284
00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:07.120
from my car, or I run you down.

285
00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:18.399
And I'm scared. I'm scared that little girl. Lucas the

286
00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:22.559
taxi driver, Lucas the murderer, is scared.

287
00:16:23.519 --> 00:16:27.080
But David Wheeler seems to be frightened too, and maybe

288
00:16:27.120 --> 00:16:30.679
we'll learn if the fright is justified when we returned

289
00:16:30.720 --> 00:16:44.879
shortly with that too. Now let's go back to the

290
00:16:44.919 --> 00:16:48.639
little town of Medvale for the second act of The

291
00:16:48.679 --> 00:16:53.600
Girl who Found Things. David Wheeler has just returned from

292
00:16:53.600 --> 00:16:57.159
a shopping trip, but he finds things that are different

293
00:16:57.279 --> 00:16:59.159
in the big house at the end of the road.

294
00:16:59.519 --> 00:17:03.440
What happened here, Rowena, This room looks like a cyclone headed.

295
00:17:03.320 --> 00:17:04.720
It was Hurricane Iris.

296
00:17:04.759 --> 00:17:05.720
What are you talking about?

297
00:17:06.039 --> 00:17:08.640
A face caught her, sweet little orphan Annie in here

298
00:17:08.720 --> 00:17:11.960
smoking one of my cigarettes. I didn't hear the whole argument,

299
00:17:12.000 --> 00:17:14.000
but I'll tell you one thing. That girl has the

300
00:17:14.079 --> 00:17:15.640
vocabulary of a longshoreman.

301
00:17:16.480 --> 00:17:18.359
Maybe that'll knock some sense into ad Faith.

302
00:17:18.440 --> 00:17:21.599
Iris started throwing things, and that's when ant Faith went

303
00:17:21.680 --> 00:17:22.920
upstairs to lie down.

304
00:17:23.160 --> 00:17:25.079
I go and see her, tell her to take her

305
00:17:25.279 --> 00:17:27.200
psychic delinquent back where she came from.

306
00:17:27.240 --> 00:17:29.960
I wouldn't bother her. Now she's not feeling well.

307
00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:33.319
Well, I'll see the little monster? Then? Where is she?

308
00:17:33.640 --> 00:17:39.160
Next door to us? In Geraldine's room?

309
00:17:39.200 --> 00:17:42.119
Iris? Iris is, mister Wheeler? May I come in?

310
00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:45.319
Hello?

311
00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:47.880
Hanson? Auntie says you went shopping?

312
00:17:49.200 --> 00:17:52.359
What have you been up to? Iris? And my aunt

313
00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:54.160
isn't a well woman, and we won't put up with

314
00:17:54.200 --> 00:17:56.640
any bad behavior. Now. What happened downstairs?

315
00:17:56.759 --> 00:17:57.039
Nothing?

316
00:17:57.519 --> 00:18:00.000
I found a button ashtray and took a couple of drags.

317
00:18:00.359 --> 00:18:01.880
Do you think I was committing immortal sin?

318
00:18:01.960 --> 00:18:02.359
The way she.

319
00:18:02.400 --> 00:18:02.920
Yelled at me?

320
00:18:03.079 --> 00:18:06.200
I heard you did some fancy yelling yourself. Is is

321
00:18:06.200 --> 00:18:07.960
that what the sisters taught to you at the home.

322
00:18:08.200 --> 00:18:10.079
They didn't teach me anything worthwhile?

323
00:18:10.519 --> 00:18:13.279
Maybe you need more instruction. Maybe you better get back

324
00:18:13.319 --> 00:18:14.680
there as soon as possible.

325
00:18:14.799 --> 00:18:18.400
Oh, mister Reeler, please, I'm awfully sorry. I didn't need

326
00:18:18.440 --> 00:18:21.920
to do anything wrong. I didn't I didn't. I don't, Please,

327
00:18:21.920 --> 00:18:22.599
don't any down.

328
00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:24.519
Wait wait a minute now.

329
00:18:24.640 --> 00:18:31.200
Please don't do it, Okay, go on, I'm sorry.

330
00:18:33.680 --> 00:18:36.799
It was the deivil. I'm sure it was the devil trying.

331
00:18:36.599 --> 00:18:37.559
To take my body.

332
00:18:39.559 --> 00:18:43.240
It's all right. I know you didn't mean what you said. No,

333
00:18:43.440 --> 00:18:47.319
it suggests it makes you this way, And don't worry

334
00:18:47.319 --> 00:18:50.279
about what I asked you to do. You take your

335
00:18:50.319 --> 00:18:53.000
time about gerald Deane, take as long as you like.

336
00:18:53.200 --> 00:18:55.200
Oh would I want to help? I really do.

337
00:18:55.240 --> 00:18:57.319
Act think No, wait a minute, and you're not going

338
00:18:57.359 --> 00:18:58.000
to fall for this.

339
00:19:00.920 --> 00:19:04.000
Do you know something? I can feel your niece in

340
00:19:04.039 --> 00:19:08.200
his house and face. I really can. I can feel

341
00:19:08.240 --> 00:19:12.200
her in this room, whispering to me, trying to tell

342
00:19:12.200 --> 00:19:12.960
me where she is.

343
00:19:13.400 --> 00:19:17.000
Can you, Irish? Can you really can't you see that?

344
00:19:17.160 --> 00:19:17.440
I can?

345
00:19:18.279 --> 00:19:18.680
I can.

346
00:19:19.039 --> 00:19:22.960
I can feel her everywhere. I can almost touch miss Wheeler.

347
00:19:24.319 --> 00:19:30.119
Oh is this her clocket? These are her clothes?

348
00:19:31.680 --> 00:19:31.920
Oh?

349
00:19:32.240 --> 00:19:33.319
They're so beautiful.

350
00:19:34.200 --> 00:19:36.160
She must have looked beautiful in them.

351
00:19:36.440 --> 00:19:38.880
Has iris ever seen a photo of Geraldine?

352
00:19:39.039 --> 00:19:41.200
Oh? Look at this one.

353
00:19:41.799 --> 00:19:47.839
It's all gold, all shiny gold, and it's so long.

354
00:19:49.359 --> 00:19:51.400
Was she very tall?

355
00:19:51.920 --> 00:19:53.799
It's an evening gown? Irish?

356
00:19:54.000 --> 00:19:58.079
Oh, I can censor in this gown, I can. I

357
00:19:58.319 --> 00:20:00.440
just know I'm going to be able to f for

358
00:20:00.519 --> 00:20:06.319
you and faith I know it. Yes, yes, I believe

359
00:20:06.480 --> 00:20:08.160
that to my child.

360
00:20:16.400 --> 00:20:18.519
Won't you have some more of the beef Rowena, No.

361
00:20:18.599 --> 00:20:21.960
Thank you, we'd better save some for Iris. Something tells

362
00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:24.039
me that little girl had a very big appetite.

363
00:20:24.279 --> 00:20:26.640
I wish she'd come downstairs. I told her dinner would

364
00:20:26.640 --> 00:20:28.400
be served at seven point thirty. Would you like me

365
00:20:28.440 --> 00:20:30.799
to go upstairs and see if she's all right? No, no,

366
00:20:31.000 --> 00:20:32.559
I'm sure she'll be down in a moment.

367
00:20:32.839 --> 00:20:35.119
You've really forgiven her completely, haven't you?

368
00:20:35.400 --> 00:20:40.599
Of course? Oh, you don't understand psychic personality, David. It

369
00:20:40.720 --> 00:20:43.799
wasn't her swearing at me this afternoon. It was this

370
00:20:44.079 --> 00:20:47.279
demon which possesses her, the same spirit that gives her

371
00:20:47.319 --> 00:20:48.400
the gift of insight.

372
00:20:49.160 --> 00:20:54.440
David the fork, take a look at what's coming downstairs

373
00:20:54.640 --> 00:20:56.960
in a gold lammeet evening gown.

374
00:20:57.599 --> 00:21:03.279
For heaven sake, Hello everyone, Iris, whatever are you wearing?

375
00:21:03.359 --> 00:21:05.920
You go upstairs and get that dress off. You have

376
00:21:05.960 --> 00:21:07.519
no right to wear my sister's clothes.

377
00:21:07.599 --> 00:21:09.559
Take it off. Why should I do you hurt me?

378
00:21:09.799 --> 00:21:11.200
Get that dress back in the closet.

379
00:21:11.799 --> 00:21:15.359
I won't, I won't, and faith no, I won't take

380
00:21:15.359 --> 00:21:17.079
it off. Do you know what I told you? I

381
00:21:17.200 --> 00:21:19.519
have to wear your niece's clothes so I can feel

382
00:21:19.559 --> 00:21:20.559
her arm.

383
00:21:20.720 --> 00:21:22.480
You're a going to feel my foot in about five

384
00:21:22.480 --> 00:21:23.279
seconds if you don't.

385
00:21:23.160 --> 00:21:24.680
Go upstairs, anybody in it.

386
00:21:24.799 --> 00:21:31.640
Don't take me, don't please, don't cry, David. You shouldn't

387
00:21:31.680 --> 00:21:32.720
talk that way to the pool there.

388
00:21:32.799 --> 00:21:33.640
I won't stay here.

389
00:21:33.839 --> 00:21:35.519
I won't hope you find your knees that.

390
00:21:36.160 --> 00:21:37.960
I can't do anything of a kind, and you know it.

391
00:21:38.319 --> 00:21:44.559
Iris, Iris listened to me. Iris, you remember those things

392
00:21:44.559 --> 00:21:47.079
you did at the home to where you found things

393
00:21:47.119 --> 00:21:47.960
for sister to raise?

394
00:21:48.079 --> 00:21:48.279
Yes?

395
00:21:49.240 --> 00:21:51.599
Do you think you could do something like that again

396
00:21:51.880 --> 00:21:52.759
right now? For us?

397
00:21:52.880 --> 00:21:55.440
I don't know. I could try.

398
00:21:55.720 --> 00:21:56.799
Would you let her try?

399
00:21:56.920 --> 00:21:58.200
David? I don't know what you mean.

400
00:21:58.960 --> 00:22:01.119
I want you to hide some thing or name some

401
00:22:01.240 --> 00:22:03.759
object you've lost to misplaced, perhaps somewhere in this house.

402
00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:05.359
If this is silly, it's a parlor game.

403
00:22:05.440 --> 00:22:07.559
At least you can do is try it, all right?

404
00:22:08.279 --> 00:22:10.359
How do we play this game of hide and seek?

405
00:22:10.599 --> 00:22:12.720
David? What about the cat?

406
00:22:13.200 --> 00:22:13.640
The cat?

407
00:22:13.920 --> 00:22:16.799
You remember you once told me about a wool kitten

408
00:22:16.839 --> 00:22:18.920
you used to have as a child. You said you

409
00:22:19.000 --> 00:22:21.079
lost it somewhere in the house when you were five,

410
00:22:21.319 --> 00:22:23.079
and you were so happy about it you wouldn't eat

411
00:22:23.079 --> 00:22:23.559
for days.

412
00:22:24.599 --> 00:22:26.319
That's thirty years ago. Rowena.

413
00:22:26.480 --> 00:22:29.799
All the better, all the better, David, Iris, Do you

414
00:22:29.920 --> 00:22:33.319
think you could find it? Could you find David's claw? Kitten?

415
00:22:33.440 --> 00:22:35.599
Oh, I'm not sure. I'm never sure.

416
00:22:35.799 --> 00:22:38.079
Just try, Iris. We won't blame you if you fail.

417
00:22:38.119 --> 00:22:41.599
It might have been thrown out ages ago. But try anyway,

418
00:22:41.680 --> 00:22:45.079
all right, I will, but you'll have.

419
00:22:45.039 --> 00:22:47.880
To shut off flights and then what burn incense? And

420
00:22:48.000 --> 00:22:48.599
chance gave it?

421
00:22:48.680 --> 00:22:52.920
Please turn off the room while you were there, Iris.

422
00:22:53.119 --> 00:22:54.720
The room is dark enough, isn't it.

423
00:22:55.599 --> 00:23:04.240
Yes, Yes, it's dark enough. When I close my eyes, obviously, I.

424
00:23:04.359 --> 00:23:12.640
Think she's going into a trance. It's so hard for me, Darling.

425
00:23:12.839 --> 00:23:15.440
She isn't, David, I know she isn't. She's in a

426
00:23:15.599 --> 00:23:21.920
genuine France. Oh hard, Oh.

427
00:23:21.680 --> 00:23:22.519
It's so hot.

428
00:23:22.960 --> 00:23:28.200
She's you isn't making nothing so hot?

429
00:23:28.480 --> 00:23:30.559
Back here? Oh?

430
00:23:30.759 --> 00:23:31.240
Please?

431
00:23:32.079 --> 00:23:32.279
Oh?

432
00:23:32.480 --> 00:23:38.480
Please, Kitty, it's hot, hot, Kitty, it's hot, Kitty.

433
00:23:39.039 --> 00:23:41.160
She could be talking about the world Chap, what if

434
00:23:41.200 --> 00:23:42.319
she is? Please?

435
00:23:42.839 --> 00:23:52.559
Please somebody help help Kitty, Help her, please, old kitty, the.

436
00:23:52.640 --> 00:24:01.400
Girl that behind the dog hot kiddy hot behind the stove?

437
00:24:01.480 --> 00:24:04.960
Is that what she said? Iris IRUs Darling? Are you

438
00:24:04.960 --> 00:24:08.880
all right, David? Turn on the lights quickly, dark Assy.

439
00:24:09.000 --> 00:24:11.960
It was all gibberish, Rowena. It's just nonsense.

440
00:24:12.000 --> 00:24:14.880
You're so stubborn, David. But she said it clearly. The

441
00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:18.839
kittens behind the stove, well you probably stopped it when

442
00:24:18.880 --> 00:24:20.839
you were a little brat of a boy. We could

443
00:24:20.880 --> 00:24:23.519
find out, couldn't we. It's the same stove still in

444
00:24:23.519 --> 00:24:24.279
the kitchen.

445
00:24:24.000 --> 00:24:24.480
I suppose.

446
00:24:24.559 --> 00:24:27.200
So there's a microwave up in too, but they've never

447
00:24:27.240 --> 00:24:28.559
moved the old iron monster.

448
00:24:28.759 --> 00:24:33.400
Let's look, David, please, I.

449
00:24:34.799 --> 00:24:36.480
Can't feel anything behind here.

450
00:24:36.680 --> 00:24:37.680
Try the other side, David.

451
00:24:37.720 --> 00:24:41.440
Oh this is ridiculous. Look my hands are getting filthy here.

452
00:24:41.640 --> 00:24:42.319
Use this label.

453
00:24:42.440 --> 00:24:45.319
It's no Dukes Rowena, it's simply kept.

454
00:24:45.799 --> 00:24:48.079
It's it's David.

455
00:24:48.519 --> 00:24:49.119
What is it?

456
00:24:49.160 --> 00:24:50.079
Did you touch something?

457
00:24:50.799 --> 00:24:53.880
Oh? Yes, something? I don't know what.

458
00:24:54.440 --> 00:24:55.200
Can you get it out?

459
00:24:55.960 --> 00:24:56.119
Yeah?

460
00:24:56.839 --> 00:25:01.839
I think so, Good Lord David.

461
00:25:03.000 --> 00:25:08.839
It's a cat, a wool cat. Yes, it's so filthy

462
00:25:08.880 --> 00:25:12.480
and all. But it's still a cat, isn't it. She

463
00:25:12.720 --> 00:25:14.640
is the one you lost, is it?

464
00:25:15.440 --> 00:25:18.000
Yes? Yes, it's the wire. David.

465
00:25:18.079 --> 00:25:21.960
You look so strange, you look frightened.

466
00:25:32.799 --> 00:25:36.720
What are you doing here, Iris? Having a picnic all

467
00:25:36.799 --> 00:25:37.400
by yourself?

468
00:25:38.000 --> 00:25:40.440
I just thought i'd lie on the grass for Anna.

469
00:25:41.599 --> 00:25:44.839
What are you doing with a Daisy loves me? Loves me?

470
00:25:44.920 --> 00:25:48.480
Not want to finish it off for my uncle Daisy?

471
00:25:48.559 --> 00:25:50.119
What about the uncle David's stuff?

472
00:25:50.400 --> 00:25:51.559
I'll finish it for you. Then?

473
00:25:52.400 --> 00:25:55.680
She loves me? She loves me, not she loves me.

474
00:25:56.359 --> 00:26:01.559
She loves me. Not too bad, Uncle David, She just does.

475
00:26:01.640 --> 00:26:06.359
I love you. You're rife, of course? Who else?

476
00:26:07.519 --> 00:26:08.039
Buy out?

477
00:26:08.200 --> 00:26:12.680
Iris? Wait here? Look, I want to talk to you

478
00:26:12.759 --> 00:26:18.319
a minute. Really, Iris, what's the story with you? You've

479
00:26:18.319 --> 00:26:20.200
been here over a week and you haven't done anything

480
00:26:20.200 --> 00:26:23.799
about well, you know what. This is just a great

481
00:26:23.839 --> 00:26:25.200
big picnic for you, isn't it?

482
00:26:26.200 --> 00:26:28.039
What if it is? You think I want to go

483
00:26:28.119 --> 00:26:32.160
back to the creepy home. It's better here. No uniforms, no,

484
00:26:32.160 --> 00:26:36.559
no six am prayers, none about jumps a call food. Also,

485
00:26:37.720 --> 00:26:38.640
I like the company.

486
00:26:38.920 --> 00:26:40.440
I suppose I should say thank you.

487
00:26:40.720 --> 00:26:41.799
There's nothing you can say.

488
00:26:41.799 --> 00:26:45.839
I don't know already. I'm psyched for minute?

489
00:26:47.119 --> 00:26:50.079
What about that? Iris? Is it just some kind of trick.

490
00:26:51.400 --> 00:26:52.079
You can tell me.

491
00:26:52.599 --> 00:26:55.480
I'll show you if it's a trick. What means to rare?

492
00:26:55.920 --> 00:26:57.079
Tell you all about yourself?

493
00:26:57.359 --> 00:26:58.039
Hi, go ahead?

494
00:26:58.359 --> 00:26:58.720
Okay?

495
00:26:59.440 --> 00:27:00.359
Your wife thank you.

496
00:27:01.240 --> 00:27:04.119
She thinks you're rotten. You weren't even married a year

497
00:27:04.160 --> 00:27:06.440
when you started running around with out a women. She

498
00:27:06.519 --> 00:27:08.599
never went to the mill, not more than once or

499
00:27:08.599 --> 00:27:11.279
twice a month. That was how you ran the business.

500
00:27:11.640 --> 00:27:14.119
All you knew how to do is spend money to

501
00:27:14.160 --> 00:27:15.039
do a little preston.

502
00:27:15.200 --> 00:27:16.799
You're not psychic or an eaves droppers.

503
00:27:16.839 --> 00:27:17.960
Oh, let's go my arm.

504
00:27:18.039 --> 00:27:21.160
Your room is right next door. You've been listening.

505
00:27:21.200 --> 00:27:22.279
Do you think I could help?

506
00:27:22.319 --> 00:27:23.240
You're any too? Ardumly?

507
00:27:24.279 --> 00:27:28.519
I guess you couldn't. I'm I'm sorry, Iris. I hope

508
00:27:28.519 --> 00:27:29.160
I didn't hurt you.

509
00:27:29.759 --> 00:27:31.319
I know a way you can make it up to me,

510
00:27:32.240 --> 00:27:34.000
like this a way.

511
00:27:36.240 --> 00:27:37.240
Don't you want to kid me?

512
00:27:37.400 --> 00:27:38.400
No, your dumb kid.

513
00:27:38.519 --> 00:27:40.559
I'm not a kid. I'm almost seventeen.

514
00:27:40.640 --> 00:27:42.279
You were sixteen three months ago.

515
00:27:42.480 --> 00:27:45.839
A woman, but you're not even a man.

516
00:27:52.039 --> 00:27:53.559
David, Yes, it's me.

517
00:27:53.880 --> 00:27:56.920
Oh if you don't call for a taxi a taxi?

518
00:27:57.440 --> 00:27:58.680
No? Why should I?

519
00:27:58.400 --> 00:27:58.559
Oh?

520
00:27:58.680 --> 00:28:01.160
I don't know, but lucas a cabin in the driveway.

521
00:28:01.279 --> 00:28:02.599
He said he was waiting for you.

522
00:28:02.759 --> 00:28:05.079
Lucas. Well, i'd better go and see what he wants.

523
00:28:05.200 --> 00:28:06.920
You know, I'll be ready around seven, David.

524
00:28:12.559 --> 00:28:15.079
All right, Lucas, what are you doing here?

525
00:28:15.359 --> 00:28:20.319
I had to talk to you, mister Wheeler. I wanted

526
00:28:20.359 --> 00:28:23.039
you to know how it went. I did what you

527
00:28:23.160 --> 00:28:27.200
told me, exactly like I said. I hit her clean.

528
00:28:27.559 --> 00:28:30.640
She didn't hurt a bit, no bloody all.

529
00:28:30.599 --> 00:28:34.400
Right, I don't want to hear about it anymore, Lucas.

530
00:28:34.440 --> 00:28:39.240
I'm satisfied, and you should be too. You got your money,

531
00:28:39.759 --> 00:28:40.799
and I forget about it.

532
00:28:40.880 --> 00:28:44.160
And I picked up Miss Wheeler and I took her

533
00:28:44.160 --> 00:28:45.920
out in the woods as far as I could.

534
00:28:47.400 --> 00:28:51.240
I dug deep, mister Wheeler. I did a good job.

535
00:28:52.160 --> 00:28:54.559
I smoothed it over and spread them leaves so as

536
00:28:54.640 --> 00:28:58.200
nobody had guessed, was there nobody.

537
00:28:58.200 --> 00:29:02.920
Hip h So it's that girl you're still worried about.

538
00:29:03.400 --> 00:29:07.279
I've heard awful funny things about her, mister Wheeler, about

539
00:29:07.279 --> 00:29:12.079
her finding things, finding her little girl that fell near

540
00:29:12.160 --> 00:29:17.240
Crump Lake. Maybe she can see you right into your

541
00:29:17.279 --> 00:29:18.640
sister's gray iris.

542
00:29:18.799 --> 00:29:21.079
Lloyd won't find her, nobody will.

543
00:29:21.920 --> 00:29:27.640
She's right behind the house, Miss Wheeler. She's so close

544
00:29:28.519 --> 00:29:29.200
right in the wood.

545
00:29:29.319 --> 00:29:32.680
You've got to forget it, Lucas, like it never happened.

546
00:29:33.000 --> 00:29:36.839
My sister's disappeared and she's not coming back. As for

547
00:29:36.880 --> 00:29:41.759
the girl, don't believe what you hear. Nobody can see

548
00:29:41.799 --> 00:29:44.279
into a grave, Lucas.

549
00:29:44.279 --> 00:29:54.240
Nobody is David Wheeler really as convinced as he sounds,

550
00:29:55.559 --> 00:29:59.599
or can Lucas detect the doubt in his voice and

551
00:29:59.680 --> 00:30:03.480
the in his eyes. We'll learn more about the girl

552
00:30:03.519 --> 00:30:06.640
who found Things when we returned shortly with that.

553
00:30:06.880 --> 00:30:18.880
Three.

554
00:30:19.640 --> 00:30:22.440
Now, let's return to the Wheeler house in the town

555
00:30:22.480 --> 00:30:26.759
of Meadvale, a house filled with people waiting for a

556
00:30:26.799 --> 00:30:32.359
psychic revelation from the girl who found things. But that

557
00:30:32.519 --> 00:30:35.359
revelation appears to be very slow in coming.

558
00:30:35.799 --> 00:30:38.799
That girl has been here for how long? Two weeks?

559
00:30:38.839 --> 00:30:39.960
It seems like two months.

560
00:30:40.240 --> 00:30:44.400
She hasn't done a thing but enjoy herself. David, what's

561
00:30:44.400 --> 00:30:47.200
the point of our staying on? You said you had

562
00:30:47.200 --> 00:30:49.799
some affairs to settle. You don't seem to be conducting

563
00:30:49.799 --> 00:30:50.680
any business at all.

564
00:30:51.119 --> 00:30:52.559
Have you been in the mood for business?

565
00:30:52.799 --> 00:30:53.960
That's nothing very new?

566
00:30:54.160 --> 00:30:54.359
Is it?

567
00:30:54.440 --> 00:30:57.119
How long you want to keep that light on? I'd

568
00:30:57.160 --> 00:30:58.039
like to get some sleep.

569
00:30:58.160 --> 00:31:01.759
If you think Iras Lloyd is indulged herself, what about you?

570
00:31:01.839 --> 00:31:04.559
Be quiet? I told you that she can hear every

571
00:31:04.640 --> 00:31:07.720
nasty little quarrel in this room. That's why I asked

572
00:31:07.759 --> 00:31:08.279
for a truth.

573
00:31:08.400 --> 00:31:10.880
Well, she doesn't have to ease drop? Does she can't

574
00:31:10.920 --> 00:31:15.119
she read mind? Well, she's not the only clairvoyant around here.

575
00:31:15.559 --> 00:31:17.119
I can read her mind too.

576
00:31:16.960 --> 00:31:18.960
If she was a child. For Heaven's sake, she's in

577
00:31:18.960 --> 00:31:19.559
love with you.

578
00:31:20.319 --> 00:31:23.400
Of course, there's a minor abstraction in her plans, a

579
00:31:23.480 --> 00:31:26.640
small matter of your wife. But then I've never been

580
00:31:26.680 --> 00:31:29.240
much of a hindrance to your romances, have I?

581
00:31:29.240 --> 00:31:34.279
I thought you agreed to that truth. You are a passifist, David.

582
00:31:34.359 --> 00:31:37.039
That's part of your charm. That's why you came up

583
00:31:37.079 --> 00:31:39.920
here in March. Wasn't it to make peace with Geraldine?

584
00:31:39.960 --> 00:31:40.960
I came here on business.

585
00:31:40.960 --> 00:31:43.440
You came to keep Geraldine from sending you to prison.

586
00:31:43.720 --> 00:31:44.519
That was the business.

587
00:31:44.559 --> 00:31:45.519
You know nothing about it.

588
00:31:45.559 --> 00:31:48.480
I have eyes, David. I know you were taking money

589
00:31:48.480 --> 00:31:51.480
from the mill, too much money. Geraldine knew it too.

590
00:31:52.319 --> 00:31:54.319
How much time did she give you to make up

591
00:31:54.319 --> 00:31:55.160
the loss? All right?

592
00:31:55.400 --> 00:31:57.079
If you wanted me to get some sweep here. I'll sleep

593
00:31:57.079 --> 00:32:05.240
in the library, David. David, she said your yes, yes, Aunt, Faith,

594
00:32:05.799 --> 00:32:06.559
What are you doing up?

595
00:32:06.839 --> 00:32:07.960
I heard a noise?

596
00:32:08.039 --> 00:32:10.319
Oh, well it was me probably, I was just going

597
00:32:10.440 --> 00:32:12.799
down to the library to I'll find a book to read.

598
00:32:12.920 --> 00:32:16.400
No, it wasn't you staked? Look what.

599
00:32:17.920 --> 00:32:18.559
It's us?

600
00:32:18.839 --> 00:32:20.799
Yes, and you like John.

601
00:32:21.279 --> 00:32:25.079
What she's doing in the front hall, just like that, David.

602
00:32:26.119 --> 00:32:30.799
She is sleepwalking. Look in her eyes, David. We have

603
00:32:30.880 --> 00:32:31.440
to follow her.

604
00:32:31.759 --> 00:32:34.240
Let her alone, Annie, You're not supposed to disturb a

605
00:32:34.279 --> 00:32:35.000
sleep or her im.

606
00:32:35.119 --> 00:32:40.440
I've got to follow her, all right. I'll come with you, David.

607
00:32:41.400 --> 00:32:43.680
She's talking to herself. Can you hear her?

608
00:32:44.119 --> 00:32:48.519
What did I forget? What did I? How did you

609
00:32:48.559 --> 00:32:48.920
hear that?

610
00:32:49.599 --> 00:32:51.119
Did did you hear what she's saying?

611
00:32:51.160 --> 00:32:52.640
Yes? But I don't understand it.

612
00:32:52.720 --> 00:32:57.640
Why doesn't the taxi get here? Why doesn't it get here?

613
00:32:58.319 --> 00:33:01.240
Taxi? She's said something about a taxi t.

614
00:33:01.400 --> 00:33:02.839
Yes, yes, I heard her.

615
00:33:03.559 --> 00:33:07.640
Oh, we have to be going to the station. I'm

616
00:33:07.720 --> 00:33:11.920
so nervous. I'm always so nervous.

617
00:33:11.359 --> 00:33:15.559
When I go on a trip. Please get my luggage,

618
00:33:16.119 --> 00:33:17.240
may I luck you?

619
00:33:17.319 --> 00:33:20.960
Oh, dear god, David. She's in a trance. She's talking

620
00:33:21.000 --> 00:33:22.759
the way, What did I forget?

621
00:33:23.720 --> 00:33:31.559
Guys? Hellle Tracy tell her, sir, the fireplace is the

622
00:33:31.599 --> 00:33:32.960
fireplace called?

623
00:33:35.559 --> 00:33:38.359
No, not a fire place?

624
00:33:39.079 --> 00:33:40.680
Not a fire place?

625
00:33:41.079 --> 00:33:41.759
What does she mean?

626
00:33:41.839 --> 00:33:43.960
I don't know. I think I think this is wrong.

627
00:33:43.960 --> 00:33:45.440
I think we should get her back to bail.

628
00:33:46.519 --> 00:33:50.839
Don't touch her, data, don't So she's heading for the

629
00:33:50.839 --> 00:33:52.200
back of the house. Come on here.

630
00:33:52.720 --> 00:33:53.799
You haven't got to follow her.

631
00:33:54.160 --> 00:33:55.559
I think she means to go outside.

632
00:33:55.599 --> 00:33:56.359
We can't let her do that.

633
00:33:56.519 --> 00:33:58.599
Maybe it's important. Maybe it's something to do with.

634
00:33:58.640 --> 00:34:04.160
Geraldine insane, just sleepwalking, that's all of it. Iris Iris, wake.

635
00:34:04.039 --> 00:34:04.480
Up, David.

636
00:34:04.480 --> 00:34:10.400
Don't you want that girl to catch pneumonia? I will Irish, Yeah,

637
00:34:10.440 --> 00:34:11.280
I wake up.

638
00:34:11.360 --> 00:34:18.000
Yeah, you don't. You're not supposed to wake a tree walk.

639
00:34:18.119 --> 00:34:21.800
Everybody knows that.

640
00:34:21.840 --> 00:34:25.280
Iris Iris is only me Iris.

641
00:34:27.320 --> 00:34:29.360
No, no, no, darling, it's all right.

642
00:34:29.199 --> 00:34:30.440
It's only wake up.

643
00:34:30.480 --> 00:34:32.679
I said, wake up your poor chi.

644
00:34:35.320 --> 00:34:35.599
David.

645
00:34:35.639 --> 00:34:41.239
That was a calling the I'm here, I'm here. Are

646
00:34:41.280 --> 00:34:41.920

647
00:34:42.000 --> 00:34:42.159
Oh?

648
00:34:42.239 --> 00:34:44.400
Yes, yes, they're all right now.

649
00:34:45.920 --> 00:34:47.800
He was so frighten for you, dear.

650
00:34:48.320 --> 00:34:49.000
But I'm all right.

651
00:34:49.679 --> 00:34:55.639
I think I think that I'm ready ready.

652
00:34:56.599 --> 00:34:57.159
What do you mean?

653
00:34:58.159 --> 00:35:03.159
I think I can do it now? I think I

654
00:35:03.280 --> 00:35:04.719
might be able to tell.

655
00:35:04.559 --> 00:35:07.760
You mean, do you mean where Geraldine is?

656
00:35:08.039 --> 00:35:10.119
Yes, I think I can.

657
00:35:10.960 --> 00:35:14.119
David, We've got to call attendant Rees Reese at this hour.

658
00:35:14.280 --> 00:35:16.440
I told him I would call him whenever. Irish thought

659
00:35:16.440 --> 00:35:17.800
she knew something. I promised him.

660
00:35:17.800 --> 00:35:19.920
I'd it's almost midnight, and he'll come.

661
00:35:19.960 --> 00:35:22.360
I know he will. I'll telephon him myself. You take

662
00:35:22.440 --> 00:35:23.079
Iris to her.

663
00:35:23.000 --> 00:35:25.800
Rule, Yes, yes, all right, come on, Iris.

664
00:35:25.679 --> 00:35:39.159
Yes, uncle David. Well, Uncle David, are you scared?

665
00:35:39.440 --> 00:35:40.559
What are you talking about?

666
00:35:40.960 --> 00:35:43.079
You look scared scared of me?

667
00:35:43.360 --> 00:35:43.840
Shut up?

668
00:35:44.519 --> 00:35:46.960
I thought you would be. The minute you heard that

669
00:35:47.000 --> 00:35:47.599
I was ready.

670
00:35:47.679 --> 00:35:51.360
I'm sending you back. Iris. You're a fake. Even your

671
00:35:51.519 --> 00:35:52.960
sleepwalking actor was a fake.

672
00:35:53.119 --> 00:35:57.079
Oh David, David, you're so cute, you really are.

673
00:35:58.199 --> 00:35:58.880
But do you know what.

674
00:36:00.079 --> 00:36:03.000
I don't have to be ready. I don't have to

675
00:36:03.039 --> 00:36:05.199
do anything at all when that policeman gets here.

676
00:36:06.599 --> 00:36:09.599
Not if you don't want me to you you don't

677
00:36:09.639 --> 00:36:10.800
know what you're talking about.

678
00:36:11.239 --> 00:36:15.159
You better kiss me now, David, You beat it, kiss

679
00:36:15.239 --> 00:36:19.719
me and naked really good?

680
00:36:20.719 --> 00:36:27.480
H right, all right, if that's what you want, David,

681
00:36:29.360 --> 00:36:30.039
get out of here.

682
00:36:30.559 --> 00:36:32.480
I don't want you in my room. You are right

683
00:36:32.519 --> 00:36:35.079
about the walls between these rooms. David, you can hear

684
00:36:35.079 --> 00:36:37.639
every little thing I hate you tell it is you too?

685
00:36:38.039 --> 00:36:38.360
Tell her?

686
00:36:38.440 --> 00:36:38.639
David?

687
00:36:38.679 --> 00:36:39.519
Why don't you tell her?

688
00:36:39.679 --> 00:36:39.920
Yes?

689
00:36:40.480 --> 00:36:42.960
Why don't you David? It's the only thing you haven't

690
00:36:43.000 --> 00:36:43.719
done so far.

691
00:36:44.079 --> 00:36:44.440
David.

692
00:36:44.840 --> 00:36:45.519
Yes, I'm Faith.

693
00:36:45.639 --> 00:36:45.800
Oh.

694
00:36:45.840 --> 00:36:48.199
I just spoke to Lieutenant Reese. He says he's on

695
00:36:48.239 --> 00:36:52.159
his way. You're four. You are ready, Irish, aren't you?

696
00:36:52.159 --> 00:36:54.440
You're ready to tell us where Geraldine is.

697
00:36:54.800 --> 00:37:03.280
Yes, I'm ready to tell you, Aunt Faith more than ready.

698
00:36:59.199 --> 00:37:08.159
Are you sure she's all right? Missus demerist? She looks

699
00:37:08.159 --> 00:37:09.119
offully pale to me.

700
00:37:09.760 --> 00:37:13.519
Iris always looks that way when she enters the trance.

701
00:37:13.800 --> 00:37:16.920
It's a fraud, Lieutenant, The whole thing is a fraud.

702
00:37:16.960 --> 00:37:18.920
You mustn't be taken in well.

703
00:37:19.000 --> 00:37:22.360
I'm just trying to keep an off in mind, mister Willer.

704
00:37:23.440 --> 00:37:27.960
Who heard? I think she could just say something.

705
00:37:31.239 --> 00:37:34.239
This girl is working herself into some kind of fit.

706
00:37:34.440 --> 00:37:35.639
If you are alone doing.

707
00:37:36.119 --> 00:37:39.400
Well, maybe mister Wheeler is right. The girl might do

708
00:37:39.519 --> 00:37:40.360
herself from harm.

709
00:37:41.039 --> 00:37:41.960
You just wait and.

710
00:37:46.800 --> 00:37:51.880
You come and find me. Oh, help me at your dog? Ah,

711
00:37:51.920 --> 00:37:53.480
won't somebody helped me?

712
00:37:55.159 --> 00:37:57.840
It's Deviline will be a lorded her.

713
00:37:58.239 --> 00:38:02.440
Where are you, oh child, my poor darling.

714
00:38:02.800 --> 00:38:09.400
We're off out the job and I know where Geraldine?

715
00:38:09.440 --> 00:38:09.679
Where?

716
00:38:10.400 --> 00:38:11.559
Tell us where you are?

717
00:38:12.199 --> 00:38:18.159
A place by, a place with ships, the sunny shine.

718
00:38:19.119 --> 00:38:24.920
I saw, here's some green trees. The bell's ringing.

719
00:38:24.639 --> 00:38:25.320
In the street.

720
00:38:25.559 --> 00:38:27.840
She's out of her head completely.

721
00:38:27.400 --> 00:38:32.400
A place with ships, bells ringing in the streets.

722
00:38:32.519 --> 00:38:38.639
I see what approach Troy card in the street, going

723
00:38:38.760 --> 00:38:39.480
up and.

724
00:38:39.480 --> 00:38:43.679
Down the hill. San Francisco. I'm sure she means San Francisco.

725
00:38:44.280 --> 00:38:50.039
Yes, it sounds like it, Irish. Do you mean San Francisco?

726
00:38:51.280 --> 00:38:52.840
Is that where Geraldine is?

727
00:38:53.119 --> 00:38:56.119
Yes, yes, that's where she is.

728
00:38:57.559 --> 00:39:01.079
Well, who knows, it's just a guess as I've heard.

729
00:39:02.920 --> 00:39:05.159
Has miss Willer ever been in San Francisco before?

730
00:39:05.400 --> 00:39:05.679
Never?

731
00:39:06.239 --> 00:39:10.239
Why would she go there, David, I really wouldn't know.

732
00:39:10.840 --> 00:39:14.000
But if that's where Iris says she is, I guess

733
00:39:14.000 --> 00:39:15.719
the spirits know what they're talking about.

734
00:39:16.920 --> 00:39:17.760
She's waking up.

735
00:39:18.519 --> 00:39:19.440
I want to go home.

736
00:39:20.119 --> 00:39:22.440
Oh please, Sibody, take me home.

737
00:39:33.840 --> 00:39:37.039
Well, your idea was a huge success, Auntie, but I

738
00:39:37.039 --> 00:39:39.440
can't say that I'm not glad to see little Iris

739
00:39:39.559 --> 00:39:40.559
back where she belongs.

740
00:39:40.760 --> 00:39:44.480
Yes, a poor child, it's the only home she knows.

741
00:39:45.800 --> 00:39:48.239
Now, all the police have to do is find Geraldine

742
00:39:48.239 --> 00:39:50.519
in San Francisco if she hasn't taken a boat to

743
00:39:50.639 --> 00:39:51.760
South America by now.

744
00:39:52.239 --> 00:39:56.199
I just don't understand. It's not like Geraldine to run

745
00:39:56.239 --> 00:39:57.239
away without a word.

746
00:39:57.800 --> 00:39:59.320
Oh here, we are home again.

747
00:40:01.440 --> 00:40:03.360
Aren't you coming in, David?

748
00:40:03.440 --> 00:40:05.599
Oh? Not just yet. I thought i'd go into town

749
00:40:05.639 --> 00:40:09.360
and pick up some champagne. I thought we'd celebrate a

750
00:40:09.360 --> 00:40:18.719
bit tonight. Well, hello, Lucas, how's the taxi business? Hun?

751
00:40:19.119 --> 00:40:23.679
It could be better? You Uh had any news for me?

752
00:40:23.760 --> 00:40:28.480
And it's Willis. I've got good news. It's all over

753
00:40:29.159 --> 00:40:32.400
Iris lloyd Is back up the Medvale School for Girls.

754
00:40:33.360 --> 00:40:38.880
And she didn't know. She couldn't find out whether that

755
00:40:39.039 --> 00:40:39.960
woman why.

756
00:40:39.880 --> 00:40:42.599
She didn't know, Lucas, just as I promised.

757
00:40:43.079 --> 00:40:48.440
Ah huh, I did the right thing. I know it

758
00:40:48.480 --> 00:40:52.079
was the right thing, mister Williber. I didn't wanna tell.

759
00:40:51.920 --> 00:40:55.159
You the right thing. What do you mean, Well?

760
00:40:55.199 --> 00:40:57.719
I figured that girl could tell if the body was

761
00:40:57.760 --> 00:41:00.719
buried right outside the house, that she never find it.

762
00:41:00.840 --> 00:41:04.960
It was someplace else, someplace far away, Lucas, what are

763
00:41:05.000 --> 00:41:08.039
you talking about. I went out into the woods last

764
00:41:08.039 --> 00:41:13.239
week and dug up that woman's body. I put it

765
00:41:13.239 --> 00:41:16.199
in that trunk off mister Wheeler, and I sent it

766
00:41:16.239 --> 00:41:20.320
by train far away as good, too far away for

767
00:41:20.440 --> 00:41:21.000
that girl.

768
00:41:22.239 --> 00:41:27.079
Yes, sir, excuse me, mister Wheeler. What h Lieutenant Greece.

769
00:41:27.559 --> 00:41:30.159
I wonder if we could have a talk, mister Wheeler

770
00:41:30.840 --> 00:41:35.199
about what we've received? A telegram from the West coast

771
00:41:35.599 --> 00:41:37.800
and the police out there didn't have any luck tracing

772
00:41:37.840 --> 00:41:42.039
his sister, but they did have a report on a

773
00:41:42.079 --> 00:41:46.119
steamer trunk a trunk. It was an unclean baggage at

774
00:41:46.119 --> 00:41:50.639
the Southern Pacific depot. It was shipped from Medvale only

775
00:41:50.679 --> 00:41:56.440
the last week, and while it had miss Wheeler's initials

776
00:41:56.480 --> 00:42:00.000
on it, and now it had more.

777
00:42:00.000 --> 00:42:00.480
Why than that?

778
00:42:01.960 --> 00:42:13.199
So can we go somewhere and talk about San Francisco? Well,

779
00:42:14.000 --> 00:42:17.280
Iris Lloyd is back in her own bed tonight and

780
00:42:17.400 --> 00:42:22.320
her dreams will probably be peaceful, But David Wheeler is

781
00:42:22.320 --> 00:42:24.840
in for a nightmare that may last him for the

782
00:42:24.880 --> 00:42:25.800
rest of his life.

783
00:42:27.000 --> 00:42:42.840
I'll be back shortly. Do you think you have clairvoyant powers?

784
00:42:44.360 --> 00:42:47.559
Have you ever had the experience of finding something that

785
00:42:48.039 --> 00:42:52.760
everyone else thought was lost? Actually you've done exactly that.

786
00:42:54.280 --> 00:42:58.440
You found the magical world of radio drama, and now

787
00:42:58.480 --> 00:43:01.559
that you've made this fine, we hope you'll come back

788
00:43:01.639 --> 00:43:05.920
for more suspenseful dramas to play inside the theater of

789
00:43:05.960 --> 00:43:12.519
your mind. Our cast included Norman Rose, Briana Rayburn, Robert Dryden,

790
00:43:13.000 --> 00:43:16.840

The entire production was under the direction of Hyman Brown.

792
00:43:22.760 --> 00:43:25.519
Now apprise you of our next tale.

793
00:43:26.159 --> 00:43:28.119
All right, mister Thompson.

794
00:43:27.760 --> 00:43:30.519
I'm a human being too, and I guess if I

795
00:43:30.559 --> 00:43:33.239
got a letter telling me that I was rich, I

796
00:43:33.280 --> 00:43:34.400
wouldn't go into morning.

797
00:43:34.440 --> 00:43:37.639
I'd probably go out and celebrate. Let's fine. I wanted

798
00:43:37.679 --> 00:43:41.519
to see you to suggest arranging that happy event without

799
00:43:41.519 --> 00:43:44.639
the slightest trouble on your part, without any obligation, until

800
00:43:44.679 --> 00:43:48.880
you're completely satisfied, and in a short time you'll receive

801
00:43:48.920 --> 00:43:52.239
another letter from Johannesburg informing you of the sad news

802
00:43:52.239 --> 00:43:56.480
of your cousin. Mister Well. I still won't reveal his name.

803
00:43:56.559 --> 00:43:59.960
Let him remain anonymous. That'll make your decision a great

804
00:44:00.199 --> 00:44:04.840
deal easier. I'm sure what decision, the decision to inherit

805
00:44:05.119 --> 00:44:06.679
his estate. Miss E G.

the right foot. Oh what's that? Well, I'm not entirely sure,

but I suppose we'll find out eventually. Do you Do

giant department store in the dead of night, and to

834
00:47:14.320 --> 00:47:19.079
a fantastic world of night dwellers, as John Carlier imagines

835
00:47:19.119 --> 00:47:20.760
it in his eerie story.

836
00:47:22.079 --> 00:47:24.440
Evening Primrose.

837
00:47:46.480 --> 00:47:48.079
A surda Surdy.

838
00:47:48.280 --> 00:47:48.719
What's the matter.

839
00:47:48.800 --> 00:47:52.320
It's me, Oh Sam, you nearly scare me to death.

840
00:47:52.800 --> 00:47:54.360
What do you mean coming in so quiet?

841
00:47:54.559 --> 00:47:56.719
I didn't mean to scare you. I thought you'd be asleep.

842
00:47:56.719 --> 00:47:58.239
I didn't want to work you, Sam.

843
00:47:58.559 --> 00:48:02.840
I'm glad you're home. It's what's terrible? You gotta do something, Sam?

844
00:48:02.920 --> 00:48:04.159
Oh, well, what's terrible?

845
00:48:04.280 --> 00:48:06.320
It's this? Just look at this.

846
00:48:07.440 --> 00:48:08.440
What's terrible about?

847
00:48:08.480 --> 00:48:08.559
That?

848
00:48:08.679 --> 00:48:10.039
Looks like an ordinary pad of.

849
00:48:09.960 --> 00:48:11.400
Paper to me, I just did.

850
00:48:11.760 --> 00:48:14.400
That's just what I thought. But it's got writing in it.

851
00:48:14.400 --> 00:48:15.079
It's awful.

852
00:48:15.400 --> 00:48:17.599
Oh wait a minute, maybe you better tell me what

853
00:48:17.679 --> 00:48:18.559
this is all about.

854
00:48:19.000 --> 00:48:22.400
Well, today I went shopping down at Bracy's department store.

855
00:48:23.039 --> 00:48:25.280
I needed some writing papers, so I picked this up

856
00:48:25.280 --> 00:48:27.760
and it was on top of the pile, and bought

857
00:48:27.760 --> 00:48:30.920
it and brought it home. But tonight when I opened it,

858
00:48:31.559 --> 00:48:33.000
I found it's got writing in it.

859
00:48:33.360 --> 00:48:35.800
Well that's nothing, so terrible. Just take it back tomorrow

860
00:48:35.840 --> 00:48:36.760
and make him give you a new one.

861
00:48:36.840 --> 00:48:40.239
Oh no, you don't understand. It's what's written in it.

862
00:48:40.239 --> 00:48:41.079
It's so terrible.

863
00:48:41.159 --> 00:48:42.440
What do you mean, what's written in it?

864
00:48:42.719 --> 00:48:42.880
Here?

865
00:48:42.960 --> 00:48:46.320
You got to read it? No, no, right now, read it?

866
00:48:46.360 --> 00:48:47.039
Look sadie.

867
00:48:47.039 --> 00:48:47.559
I'm tired.

868
00:48:47.599 --> 00:48:50.719
I've been Please Sam, please just read it.

869
00:48:51.679 --> 00:48:53.480
All right, Pete's sake.

870
00:48:56.199 --> 00:49:04.480
October thirteen. Today I made my decision. I decided to

871
00:49:04.639 --> 00:49:10.119
say goodbye to the world, to get out, leave, break away.

872
00:49:11.119 --> 00:49:18.519
And I have done it. Oh, no, one read And

873
00:49:18.639 --> 00:49:22.159
now I am free, really.

874
00:49:21.880 --> 00:49:28.719
Free, Yes, I am free at last. The world is

875
00:49:28.760 --> 00:49:33.079
an intolerable place for a poet. I was broke, starving

876
00:49:33.119 --> 00:49:36.119
at my wits end, and then I had a brilliant idea.

877
00:49:36.679 --> 00:49:38.639
I would escape to a place where I had no

878
00:49:38.760 --> 00:49:41.159
need to earn a living, where I could write to

879
00:49:41.199 --> 00:49:45.199
my heart's content and peace and security. Where is this

880
00:49:45.280 --> 00:49:49.880
place right under your nose? So close you'd never think

881
00:49:49.920 --> 00:49:53.679
of it. I am now living in Bracy's department store.

882
00:49:53.719 --> 00:49:56.840
I have everything within arm's reach that anyone would need

883
00:49:56.960 --> 00:50:06.159
or desire, and it's all free, absolutely free. I arrived

884
00:50:06.159 --> 00:50:09.159
this afternoon. I'd spent three days looking over all of

885
00:50:09.159 --> 00:50:12.800
the department stores in town. I decided on Bracey's because

886
00:50:12.800 --> 00:50:16.559
of the completeness of their food department. Therefore, this afternoon

887
00:50:17.119 --> 00:50:19.639
I entered the store and went immediately to the fourth

888
00:50:19.639 --> 00:50:23.320
floor to the rug department, and hid myself in this

889
00:50:23.559 --> 00:50:26.480
dusty out of the way corner behind a pile of carpets.

890
00:50:27.480 --> 00:50:29.440
Once I'm settled, I'll furnish it with the best of

891
00:50:29.480 --> 00:50:33.960
modern pieces from the furniture department. It's small, but I'll

892
00:50:34.000 --> 00:50:39.400
be cozy enough and safe. After the store closed, I

893
00:50:39.440 --> 00:50:42.559
made my first venture out. I tiptoed as far as

894
00:50:42.599 --> 00:50:47.480
the stationary counter and got this paper, the writer's primary need. Now,

895
00:50:47.519 --> 00:50:51.880
after making my initial entry, I'll go out and get food, wine,

896
00:50:52.480 --> 00:50:56.119
the pillows for my bed, perhaps a fancy dressing gown.

897
00:50:56.840 --> 00:51:04.400
This is perfect. I'll be able to write here dawn

898
00:51:04.440 --> 00:51:09.519
October fourteenth. I'm almost too unnerved to write this. The

899
00:51:09.559 --> 00:51:14.760
whole thing is unbelievable. After the store was dark and

900
00:51:14.800 --> 00:51:18.599
completely quiet. I crept out and started for the food department.

901
00:51:20.119 --> 00:51:23.599
Once footsteps echo hollowly in an empty department store at night,

902
00:51:24.519 --> 00:51:27.440
and I found myself gliding along the floor on tiptoe,

903
00:51:28.039 --> 00:51:33.719
moving as silently as possible, But the sound of footsteps persisted.

904
00:51:35.320 --> 00:51:38.400
Suddenly I realized they were not my own. The night

905
00:51:38.440 --> 00:51:41.519
watchman I was in the salon Madain. Quickly, I seized

906
00:51:41.519 --> 00:51:44.280
a mink coat from a hangar, draped it about my shoulders, and.

907
00:51:44.239 --> 00:51:45.239
Stood stuck still.

908
00:51:52.480 --> 00:51:55.679
I could have reached out and touched him, but he

909
00:51:55.760 --> 00:52:00.719
passed by without so much as a glance. It started

910
00:52:00.719 --> 00:52:09.039
to smile, but the smile froze on my lips. There

911
00:52:09.119 --> 00:52:13.039
was someone else here. I was looking straight into a

912
00:52:13.039 --> 00:52:19.480
pair of eyes, large flat, luminous in human eyes, peering

913
00:52:19.480 --> 00:52:20.360
at me from among.

914
00:52:20.119 --> 00:52:22.039
The missus tailored suits a dozen feet away.

915
00:52:23.920 --> 00:52:26.920
They belonged to a creature dressed as a man, but

916
00:52:27.039 --> 00:52:29.320
he was as pale as a creature found under a stone.

917
00:52:30.679 --> 00:52:33.159
His hands, hanging motionless at his sides, looked more like

918
00:52:33.199 --> 00:52:36.920
the fins on a fish than human hands. And then

919
00:52:36.920 --> 00:52:44.679
he spoke, not bad for a beginner. I I'm sorry,

920
00:52:44.719 --> 00:52:47.760
I didn't know anybody else lived here.

921
00:52:48.360 --> 00:52:55.519
Oh, yes, we live here. It's delightful. We yes, all

922
00:52:55.559 --> 00:53:00.199
of us, don't you see? Look around?

923
00:53:02.639 --> 00:53:08.400
I looked around. I saw nothing. I looked again. I

924
00:53:08.400 --> 00:53:10.719
saw an old man come clambering out from behind a clock.

925
00:53:11.519 --> 00:53:15.119
There were three elderly angeneus, incredibly emaciated, pale as lace,

926
00:53:15.239 --> 00:53:19.599
almost transparent, simpering before the perfume counter. A chimzy lady

927
00:53:19.639 --> 00:53:22.400
swam out from the curtains and drapes. They came swarming

928
00:53:22.440 --> 00:53:26.320
thick around me, pale, thin, whispy, moving silently, fluttering like

929
00:53:26.400 --> 00:53:27.519
gauze in the wind.

930
00:53:27.480 --> 00:53:31.159
Whispering, oh wrang, he looks.

931
00:53:31.360 --> 00:53:32.239
Who is he?

932
00:53:33.079 --> 00:53:34.679
As cause as the sun?

933
00:53:35.199 --> 00:53:36.280
What is he doing?

934
00:53:37.280 --> 00:53:40.679
A detective? Sing for the dark men?

935
00:53:41.199 --> 00:53:45.559
Yes, sing over the darkning the dark men.

936
00:53:46.320 --> 00:53:49.280
They were pressing around me, climb holding me, their pale

937
00:53:49.280 --> 00:53:53.360
faces controtted with venomous in human hatred. I was paralyzed.

938
00:53:53.480 --> 00:53:55.480
All I could do was repeat over and over again,

939
00:53:55.679 --> 00:53:57.760
I'm not a detective. I'm not a detective.

940
00:53:57.800 --> 00:53:59.199
I'm not a burglar.

941
00:53:59.400 --> 00:54:04.000
Then burglar came up and came to the pace.

942
00:54:04.280 --> 00:54:05.960
Send for the dark men.

943
00:54:06.280 --> 00:54:08.519
Um, stop let him speak.

944
00:54:10.159 --> 00:54:13.840
I'm not a detective or a burglar.

945
00:54:15.280 --> 00:54:16.000
I'm a poet.

946
00:54:16.320 --> 00:54:17.400
Then what are you doing here?

947
00:54:17.800 --> 00:54:22.280
I've I've renounced the world. I came here to live

948
00:54:22.320 --> 00:54:26.599
where I could be alone, away from the world.

949
00:54:26.840 --> 00:54:29.920
Why then he's come over to us.

950
00:54:30.559 --> 00:54:32.000
He's just like us.

951
00:54:32.119 --> 00:54:34.679
He's come over to us.

952
00:54:34.679 --> 00:54:35.400
A poet.

953
00:54:35.800 --> 00:54:36.840
She must meet.

954
00:54:36.679 --> 00:54:37.840
Missus vender Been.

955
00:54:38.800 --> 00:54:43.920
Yez, Missus vender Ben, she's coming now. I followed their

956
00:54:43.960 --> 00:54:44.920
eyes talk abalcony.

957
00:54:45.880 --> 00:54:49.480
There coming down the wall like an ancient spider, clambered

958
00:54:49.480 --> 00:54:52.920
an old lady, wrinkled and cracked and emaciated. She must

959
00:54:52.960 --> 00:54:56.840
have been at least eighty, a shadowy matriarch, and the

960
00:54:56.840 --> 00:54:59.599
things around me bowed and scraped as she reached the

961
00:54:59.599 --> 00:55:01.119
floor and floated towards us.

962
00:55:01.280 --> 00:55:05.239
What's going on here? Where is that stupid girl? What's

963
00:55:05.360 --> 00:55:05.920
keeping her?

964
00:55:06.320 --> 00:55:08.719
Or missus vander Pant, Well, what is it?

965
00:55:09.039 --> 00:55:09.519
Who's this?

966
00:55:09.840 --> 00:55:13.519
Mister Roscoe, Missus vander Pant. May I present.

967
00:55:13.320 --> 00:55:16.480
Mister Snell, mister Snell, mister Charles Snell.

968
00:55:16.639 --> 00:55:20.280
Yes, yes, of course, mister Snell. He's a poet and

969
00:55:20.440 --> 00:55:21.360
he's come here to live.

970
00:55:22.000 --> 00:55:25.639
Oh he hell's Helsie.

971
00:55:25.079 --> 00:55:27.519
That's what he says, and I believe him.

972
00:55:27.880 --> 00:55:28.320
Well.

973
00:55:29.000 --> 00:55:32.480
He avoided the night watchman quite neatly before a beginner.

974
00:55:32.880 --> 00:55:35.480
Thank you very well.

975
00:55:35.920 --> 00:55:40.760
We shall see. A poet should find inspiration.

976
00:55:40.280 --> 00:55:44.519
Here, mister Snell. Missus vanderpant is our grand old lady.

977
00:55:45.360 --> 00:55:50.440
I am quite the oldest inhabitant here, mister Snell. Three

978
00:55:50.760 --> 00:55:55.960
mergers and a complete rebuilding that they didn't get.

979
00:55:55.880 --> 00:55:56.360
Rid of me.

980
00:55:57.840 --> 00:55:59.880
Where is Ella? Where is my blass?

981
00:56:00.039 --> 00:56:02.880
She's bringing it, Miss vanderbann O, terrible little creature.

982
00:56:03.440 --> 00:56:08.719
She is our foundling, mister Snell. She's not quite our sort?

983
00:56:09.400 --> 00:56:09.760
Is that?

984
00:56:09.800 --> 00:56:09.840
So?

985
00:56:10.519 --> 00:56:13.920
I have been here, mister Snell, ever since the terrible

986
00:56:14.039 --> 00:56:18.239
times of the eighties. I was a young girl and

987
00:56:18.920 --> 00:56:24.760
a beauty essay, and poor Papa lost his money. Blaces

988
00:56:24.800 --> 00:56:27.400
meant a love to a young girl in those days.

989
00:56:28.039 --> 00:56:31.559
So when I wasn't able to have a charger count,

990
00:56:32.079 --> 00:56:37.599
I came here for good. That's better than a charge account.

991
00:56:38.559 --> 00:56:41.559
I was quite alarmed when others began to come after

992
00:56:41.679 --> 00:56:45.400
the crash of nineteen hundred and seven, But it was

993
00:56:45.519 --> 00:56:51.519
the dear jug what'd you do? The colonel Missus Bilby.

994
00:56:53.000 --> 00:56:59.480
Missus Bilby writes place and comes of an old Philadelphia family.

995
00:57:00.079 --> 00:57:02.519
Oh you will find us quite nice here.

996
00:57:02.480 --> 00:57:03.239
Mister Snail.

997
00:57:03.559 --> 00:57:04.400
I'm sure I will.

998
00:57:04.920 --> 00:57:09.159
And of course, all their young people came in nineteen

999
00:57:09.280 --> 00:57:15.760
twenty nine. Their poor papa's jumped from skyscrapers. They couldn't

1000
00:57:15.800 --> 00:57:18.760
bear to be without charge accounts either.

1001
00:57:19.280 --> 00:57:22.119
Do you mean all these people live here?

1002
00:57:22.360 --> 00:57:24.960
Oh? And many more? You shall meet them all later.

1003
00:57:25.400 --> 00:57:27.760
Oh, here come Zettler with my block.

1004
00:57:27.840 --> 00:57:29.320
Come come your stupid thing.

1005
00:57:29.599 --> 00:57:31.519
Missus vander Penn is waiting, Yes.

1006
00:57:31.400 --> 00:57:34.079
Ma'am, Yes, sir, I'm coming as fast as I can.

1007
00:57:34.199 --> 00:57:36.559
Now, be careful, don't spit it.

1008
00:57:36.719 --> 00:57:37.920
But she's young.

1009
00:57:38.280 --> 00:57:40.320
Well, of course she is a little younger than most

1010
00:57:40.360 --> 00:57:40.719
of them, and.

1011
00:57:40.719 --> 00:57:42.239
She she's different.

1012
00:57:43.480 --> 00:57:48.440
She's beautiful, mister Snow, ella is Missus vonderpurns me.

1013
00:57:48.880 --> 00:57:51.440
That's right, all men, she's really not our sort at all.

1014
00:57:51.480 --> 00:57:53.119
You shouldn't say such things. She can hear you.

1015
00:57:53.119 --> 00:57:54.079
Oh, that doesn't murter.

1016
00:57:54.360 --> 00:57:56.960
You'll understand these things better after you've been here a while.

1017
00:57:56.960 --> 00:57:58.280
But it seems to me that you would.

1018
00:57:58.639 --> 00:58:04.000
Snow. We have certain rules here. They are necessary for

1019
00:58:04.159 --> 00:58:08.440
our survival. I'm sure you won't find it hard to

1020
00:58:08.639 --> 00:58:14.239
observe them. Yes, I should advise that you try. If

1021
00:58:14.239 --> 00:58:19.119
you do not, that would be most unfortunate, mister Snell,

1022
00:58:20.280 --> 00:58:23.000
most unfortunate for you.

1023
00:58:29.239 --> 00:58:33.559
October fifteenth. You can imagine my feelings last night. My

1024
00:58:33.639 --> 00:58:36.679
first thought was to escape as quickly as possible. In fact,

1025
00:58:36.719 --> 00:58:38.639
I planned to wait till morning when the store opened,

1026
00:58:38.960 --> 00:58:41.119
then quit my hiding place, mingle with the crowds, and

1027
00:58:41.199 --> 00:58:45.559
leave Braces forever. But just at dawn, mister Rascoe brought

1028
00:58:45.559 --> 00:58:48.320
me a cup of coffee, which must have been drugged

1029
00:58:48.679 --> 00:58:51.719
for I fell asleep, and when I awoke, I found

1030
00:58:51.719 --> 00:58:55.360
I had slept all day, and night was closing over

1031
00:58:55.400 --> 00:58:55.840
the store.

1032
00:58:55.920 --> 00:58:56.440
Once more.

1033
00:59:02.159 --> 00:59:09.079
Later, I've spent my second night here. I saw Ella again, Ella,

1034
00:59:09.880 --> 00:59:13.920
the pearl of this remote, fantastic cave. She's not like

1035
00:59:13.960 --> 00:59:20.000
the others, a trifle pale, but otherwise normal, inhuman and beautiful.

1036
00:59:20.480 --> 00:59:24.360
A child of perhaps eighteen, She's the only thing that

1037
00:59:24.440 --> 00:59:35.960
makes this nightmare bearable. October twentieth. Escape seems almost impossible.

1038
00:59:35.960 --> 00:59:38.440
There's a very effective burglar alarm system, and the doors

1039
00:59:38.480 --> 00:59:41.880
are all carefully guarded, but that's nothing compared to the

1040
00:59:41.960 --> 00:59:45.360
dark men. Who are the dark men? I don't know,

1041
00:59:46.119 --> 00:59:50.000
but they threaten any transgressor. With these dark men, I

1042
00:59:50.039 --> 00:59:52.800
shall try to discover who they are. At least I

1043
00:59:52.800 --> 00:59:55.199
am sure I'm watched, though they've begun to trust me. Now,

1044
00:59:56.119 --> 00:59:58.840
speaking to the night watchman would be suicide, even if

1045
00:59:58.880 --> 01:00:01.320
he believed my fantastic story or didn't shoot me as

1046
01:00:01.320 --> 01:00:04.119
a burglar. I'm convinced that neither eleanor I could get

1047
01:00:04.119 --> 01:00:06.719
out of here alive. She and the night watchmen are

1048
01:00:06.760 --> 01:00:10.039
the only real people here. And how the others hate

1049
01:00:10.039 --> 01:00:10.760
the night watchman?

1050
01:00:10.840 --> 01:00:13.960
Oh d s Burger creature, you reeks of the course.

1051
01:00:14.000 --> 01:00:16.559
So oh, come now, Missus Bilby. He's really a personable

1052
01:00:16.599 --> 01:00:19.239
young man, very young for a night watchman.

1053
01:00:18.960 --> 01:00:22.440
Mister Snow. Sometimes I wonder about your taste.

1054
01:00:22.679 --> 01:00:25.920
You mustn't stay so much to yourself, mister Snall, You

1055
01:00:26.039 --> 01:00:28.320
must become better acquainted with our wage.

1056
01:00:28.559 --> 01:00:29.239
It's old man.

1057
01:00:29.400 --> 01:00:31.599
You's come to the plate tonight. You're going to be

1058
01:00:31.760 --> 01:00:35.920
entertained with one of Missus Bilby's tragic comedies, love and dule,

1059
01:00:36.000 --> 01:00:36.960
and I'm sure you'll enjoy.

1060
01:00:37.119 --> 01:00:37.960
I'm sure I will.

1061
01:00:38.000 --> 01:00:39.800
It's really a festive occasion.

1062
01:00:39.840 --> 01:00:42.960
You know, Waabakers is coming over Wannamakers.

1063
01:00:43.039 --> 01:00:46.000
Yes, the entire colony over at Wannamakers is coming here

1064
01:00:46.039 --> 01:00:47.079
and must to attend the plate.

1065
01:00:47.159 --> 01:00:49.840
You mean there are people living in other stories, Oh dear, Yes.

1066
01:00:49.679 --> 01:00:50.199
Didn't you know?

1067
01:00:50.880 --> 01:00:54.599
Of course, the best people live in graces and wanna makers.

1068
01:00:54.599 --> 01:00:57.920
Oh come now, missus Bilby, there's some very nice people

1069
01:00:57.920 --> 01:00:58.599
at Alphons.

1070
01:00:59.039 --> 01:00:59.960
I beg your pardon.

1071
01:01:00.679 --> 01:01:04.400
Oh hello Ella, goodn missus Bilby.

1072
01:01:04.480 --> 01:01:06.480
Well, what is it, please, ma'am?

1073
01:01:06.960 --> 01:01:08.519
I'd so love to see your playing tonight.

1074
01:01:09.320 --> 01:01:10.199
May I have your please?

1075
01:01:10.280 --> 01:01:10.840
Certainly not?

1076
01:01:11.480 --> 01:01:14.440
You know better than that, you stupid creature. You know

1077
01:01:14.519 --> 01:01:17.440
where you belong in the basement for the garbage can.

1078
01:01:17.599 --> 01:01:18.760
But Missus Bilby couldn't.

1079
01:01:18.760 --> 01:01:22.000
Mister Snell, Ella, you're becoming entirely too forward of late.

1080
01:01:22.960 --> 01:01:27.760
I'd advise you to watch your step. Remember the dark Man.

1081
01:01:28.079 --> 01:01:30.880
Oh no, please, mister Roscoll. I'll be good, I promise

1082
01:01:30.920 --> 01:01:33.239
I will. No, please, don't send for the dark Man.

1083
01:01:33.440 --> 01:01:34.519
I'm sorry, Missus Bilby.

1084
01:01:34.599 --> 01:01:35.760
Excuse Ella, come.

1085
01:01:35.599 --> 01:01:38.639
Back, mister Snell. You forget yourself. Let her go?

1086
01:01:38.719 --> 01:01:40.519
But how can you treat her like that? Why do

1087
01:01:40.559 --> 01:01:43.840
you always frighten her? And what is all this about

1088
01:01:43.880 --> 01:01:44.440
the dark man?

1089
01:01:44.840 --> 01:01:45.880
Wealthy dark?

1090
01:01:46.079 --> 01:01:50.599
Oh please, mister Roscoll, not now, you'll spoiler whole evening.

1091
01:01:51.159 --> 01:01:53.519
And I do so want mister Snell to enjoy my

1092
01:01:53.639 --> 01:01:56.400
plane very well later.

1093
01:01:56.559 --> 01:01:59.480
But I want to know about the dark Man lay date,

1094
01:02:07.960 --> 01:02:11.800
October twenty First, at last, I found an opportunity to

1095
01:02:11.800 --> 01:02:14.880
speak to Ella alone. I hadn't dared to speak to

1096
01:02:14.920 --> 01:02:18.000
her before. Here one has a sense always of pale

1097
01:02:18.039 --> 01:02:20.880
eyes secretly watching. But last night at the play I

1098
01:02:20.920 --> 01:02:23.840
induced a fit of hiccups as I anticipated. I was

1099
01:02:23.880 --> 01:02:26.400
sternly reprimanded and told to go and secrete myself in

1100
01:02:26.440 --> 01:02:29.000
the basement where the night watchmen wouldn't hear me. This

1101
01:02:29.199 --> 01:02:33.760
was exactly what I had planned. I went to the basement. There,

1102
01:02:33.800 --> 01:02:36.679
in the darkness, among the garbage.

1103
01:02:36.199 --> 01:02:38.280
Cans and the rats, I heard.

1104
01:02:38.079 --> 01:02:43.800
Sobbing, Ella, Ella, Ella, is that you?

1105
01:02:44.360 --> 01:02:44.599
Yes?

1106
01:02:45.559 --> 01:02:49.079
Why are you crying? What is it? Ella?

1107
01:02:49.159 --> 01:02:53.159
They wouldn't even let me see the play? Is that all,

1108
01:02:53.760 --> 01:02:56.800
mister Snell? I'm so unhappy you're there.

1109
01:02:57.320 --> 01:02:58.159
You mustn't cry.

1110
01:02:58.400 --> 01:03:02.559
You're the only one, the only one who's kind La.

1111
01:03:02.599 --> 01:03:05.679
Why are you here? Why do they treat you so differently?

1112
01:03:06.000 --> 01:03:09.000
Because I'm not like them? I didn't choose to come here.

1113
01:03:09.400 --> 01:03:10.519
You mean you're held prisoner?

1114
01:03:10.719 --> 01:03:14.000
Yes, you see, I was only six. I came here

1115
01:03:14.039 --> 01:03:16.639
on a shopping tour with my mother. I got lost

1116
01:03:16.679 --> 01:03:19.320
and fell asleep behind the counter. It was dark when

1117
01:03:19.360 --> 01:03:21.920
I awoke and they found me. Some of them wanted

1118
01:03:21.960 --> 01:03:24.360
to send for the dark men because they were afraid

1119
01:03:24.400 --> 01:03:27.239
I would tell on them, but Missus Vanderpant said no,

1120
01:03:27.480 --> 01:03:30.119
I could stay and be your maid. I've been here

1121
01:03:30.159 --> 01:03:31.360
ever since since.

1122
01:03:31.079 --> 01:03:34.559
You was six. Haven't you ever tried to get away?

1123
01:03:35.079 --> 01:03:40.000
No, I don't know anything about out there. I wouldn't

1124
01:03:40.039 --> 01:03:44.800
know what to do. Besides, I'm afraid if anyone tries

1125
01:03:44.840 --> 01:03:46.800
to get out, they send for the dark men.

1126
01:03:47.320 --> 01:03:48.639
Ella, who are the dark men?

1127
01:03:48.920 --> 01:03:53.039
Don't you know? Oh, it's horrible. Tell me you know

1128
01:03:53.119 --> 01:03:56.119
how people live in all the stores it Gimbals and Bloomingdale.

1129
01:03:56.199 --> 01:03:56.840
Yes, yes, I know.

1130
01:03:57.360 --> 01:04:03.519
Well, the dark men lived the undertakers good Heavens, and

1131
01:04:03.599 --> 01:04:06.840
whenever someone dies or breaks the rules, when a burglar

1132
01:04:06.880 --> 01:04:09.760
gets in and sees these people and might tell, they

1133
01:04:09.800 --> 01:04:11.079
send for the dark man.

1134
01:04:12.039 --> 01:04:12.559
Horrible.

1135
01:04:12.800 --> 01:04:14.480
They put the body in the butcher shop and the

1136
01:04:14.480 --> 01:04:19.079
food department, and then the dark men come. I saw

1137
01:04:19.119 --> 01:04:19.599
them once.

1138
01:04:20.400 --> 01:04:21.239
It was terrible.

1139
01:04:21.800 --> 01:04:22.440
What do they do?

1140
01:04:23.360 --> 01:04:25.559
They go in where the dead person is. They have

1141
01:04:25.599 --> 01:04:28.320
wax with them and all sorts of things, and when

1142
01:04:28.320 --> 01:04:31.280
they're gone, there's just a wax model left on the counter.

1143
01:04:32.039 --> 01:04:34.960
Then our people put a frock on it or bathing suit.

1144
01:04:35.440 --> 01:04:37.559
Mix it up with the other wax models in the windows,

1145
01:04:38.159 --> 01:04:39.119
and nobody ever knows.

1146
01:04:39.159 --> 01:04:42.559
Ell you mean all these dummies around us.

1147
01:04:42.519 --> 01:04:46.039
All not all of them. But if you displease these people,

1148
01:04:47.159 --> 01:04:48.559
same thing will happen to you.

1149
01:04:57.519 --> 01:05:01.599
October thirtieth. I haven't kept up my journal. Writing has

1150
01:05:01.599 --> 01:05:05.039
been out of the question once more. I'm frozen with terror,

1151
01:05:06.199 --> 01:05:08.679
but not for myself, now for Ella.

1152
01:05:09.920 --> 01:05:10.639
They hate her.

1153
01:05:11.159 --> 01:05:13.320
Anytime they might turn against her and send for the

1154
01:05:13.440 --> 01:05:16.920
dark men. My mind is filled with her. I dream

1155
01:05:16.960 --> 01:05:19.760
of her every day. I'd live to see her at night.

1156
01:05:20.800 --> 01:05:23.400
We've managed it several times. They trust me now and

1157
01:05:23.480 --> 01:05:26.880
let me roam about without interference. Finally, tonight I met

1158
01:05:26.920 --> 01:05:33.400
her again and said it, Ella, I love you. Oh Charles,

1159
01:05:33.440 --> 01:05:37.159
I love you Ella. Let's get married or whatever they

1160
01:05:37.159 --> 01:05:39.199
do here. Then we can live together in my home

1161
01:05:39.199 --> 01:05:42.480
in the carpet department. They wouldn't dare hurt you then,

1162
01:05:43.039 --> 01:05:46.199
Charles to think so dismayed. If you like, we'll go

1163
01:05:46.199 --> 01:05:49.320
away from here. Maybe we can get transferred to to

1164
01:05:49.360 --> 01:05:51.480
Bergdorf Goodman's overlooking Central Park.

1165
01:05:51.719 --> 01:05:53.840
Don't Charles, don't listen.

1166
01:05:53.599 --> 01:05:54.239
But I love you.

1167
01:05:56.119 --> 01:05:58.719
Ella. You're not in love with.

1168
01:05:58.639 --> 01:06:00.880
Someone else, Yes, Charles, else I am.

1169
01:06:01.519 --> 01:06:06.280
But who I thought you hated them all? It must

1170
01:06:06.280 --> 01:06:08.079
be Roscoe. He's the only one that's young enough.

1171
01:06:08.239 --> 01:06:11.920
Oh no, Charles, not Roscoe, especially not him. I do

1172
01:06:12.000 --> 01:06:13.840
hate them all. They make me shudder.

1173
01:06:14.280 --> 01:06:14.800
Well who is it?

1174
01:06:14.880 --> 01:06:19.000
Then it's him who the night watchman?

1175
01:06:20.159 --> 01:06:22.280
No, impossible, I love him.

1176
01:06:22.679 --> 01:06:25.719
He smells of the sun. Ella, Oh, it was wonderful

1177
01:06:25.719 --> 01:06:27.880
the way it happened. Don't tell on me, Charles, that

1178
01:06:27.920 --> 01:06:28.559
they'll punish me.

1179
01:06:28.800 --> 01:06:29.079
No.

1180
01:06:29.079 --> 01:06:31.880
No, I was careless, and there he was, coming around

1181
01:06:31.880 --> 01:06:35.199
the corner in the ladies lingerie department. I was caught.

1182
01:06:35.840 --> 01:06:38.800
There were only some wax models in there, underthings. There

1183
01:06:38.840 --> 01:06:41.800
was nothing else to do. I slipped off my dress

1184
01:06:41.840 --> 01:06:47.599
and stood still. Oh see, he stopped and looked at

1185
01:06:47.599 --> 01:06:49.840
me and Charles.

1186
01:06:49.840 --> 01:06:50.559
He spoke to me.

1187
01:06:51.280 --> 01:06:54.159
He said, say, honey, I wish they made him like

1188
01:06:54.199 --> 01:06:56.840
you on eighth Avenue. Charles, wasn't that a lovely thing

1189
01:06:56.840 --> 01:06:57.239
to say?

1190
01:06:58.639 --> 01:07:00.119
Personally? I should have said part.

1191
01:07:00.840 --> 01:07:03.800
It doesn't matter what street. It was a lovely thing

1192
01:07:03.840 --> 01:07:04.159
to say.

1193
01:07:04.239 --> 01:07:07.159
But what can you do about him? Ella, He belongs

1194
01:07:07.159 --> 01:07:08.000
to another world.

1195
01:07:08.239 --> 01:07:12.880
Yes, to wait Avenue. I want to go there, Charles

1196
01:07:12.880 --> 01:07:14.920
are you really my friend, Yes, of course I am.

1197
01:07:15.239 --> 01:07:17.800
And I'll tell you. I'm going to stand there again

1198
01:07:17.800 --> 01:07:20.519
in the lingerie department, so we'll see me and then

1199
01:07:20.920 --> 01:07:22.159
perhaps so speak to me again.

1200
01:07:22.280 --> 01:07:23.920
Ella, you're only torturing yourself.

1201
01:07:24.079 --> 01:07:28.519
No, because this time I shall answer him. He'll take me.

1202
01:07:28.480 --> 01:07:32.360
Away, take you away. Oh no, Ella, I couldn't bear that.

1203
01:07:32.400 --> 01:07:33.320
You don't love him.

1204
01:07:33.880 --> 01:07:35.800
You only think you do because you think he'll take

1205
01:07:35.840 --> 01:07:37.239
you out of here, But you don't know that he

1206
01:07:37.320 --> 01:07:39.320
will and I will.

1207
01:07:39.360 --> 01:07:41.079
Ella, I've made up my mind.

1208
01:07:41.239 --> 01:07:43.400
No, Charles, I couldn't let you do it, even if

1209
01:07:43.440 --> 01:07:45.079
I loved you. You couldn't do it, Charles.

1210
01:07:45.079 --> 01:07:45.440
Why not?

1211
01:07:45.840 --> 01:07:50.880
Because you really belong here? You're you've become one of.

1212
01:07:50.920 --> 01:07:52.840
Them now, Ella, you mustn't say that it's.

1213
01:07:52.679 --> 01:07:56.639
True, And Charles, I got to go. There's someone watching

1214
01:07:56.639 --> 01:07:57.519
as I feel wait.

1215
01:07:57.559 --> 01:07:58.719
Ella, goodbye, Charles.

1216
01:07:58.920 --> 01:08:04.800
Ella back, Ella, you'll arouse the night watchman Rascoe.

1217
01:08:05.480 --> 01:08:11.280
Yes, love can be very upsetting, can't it. You heard

1218
01:08:11.519 --> 01:08:17.399
it just the last moment, or so very touching. Yet

1219
01:08:17.479 --> 01:08:21.720
it's understandable. I've been attracted to Wella myself. So she

1220
01:08:21.800 --> 01:08:22.319
loves another.

1221
01:08:22.399 --> 01:08:22.640
Huh?

1222
01:08:23.279 --> 01:08:23.640
Too bad?

1223
01:08:23.680 --> 01:08:24.479
Old boy?

1224
01:08:24.840 --> 01:08:28.399
Who could it be? Could it be that I am

1225
01:08:28.479 --> 01:08:30.560
the cause of your heartbreak.

1226
01:08:30.239 --> 01:08:31.800
And flatter yourself too much.

1227
01:08:31.880 --> 01:08:36.560
Rascal, Then whom the old judge? Certainly, not the colonel, hardly,

1228
01:08:36.640 --> 01:08:40.439
none of those, not one of the customers.

1229
01:08:40.479 --> 01:08:41.680
She loves the night watchman.

1230
01:08:42.039 --> 01:08:47.439
Can you imagine that she loves them? Oh, Rascal, I

1231
01:08:47.439 --> 01:08:50.840
shouldn't have said that. It's not true. At least I

1232
01:08:50.840 --> 01:08:51.560
don't think it's true.

1233
01:08:51.600 --> 01:08:52.840
You wouldn't.

1234
01:08:53.880 --> 01:08:54.479
Rascale.

1235
01:08:55.000 --> 01:08:56.840
You said you loved her too. You wouldn't do anything

1236
01:08:56.920 --> 01:09:01.239
tell anybody. This is a secret between us, between friends,

1237
01:09:01.279 --> 01:09:01.640
isn't it.

1238
01:09:02.399 --> 01:09:06.399
Of course? Oldly as secret as the grave.

1239
01:09:07.119 --> 01:09:10.000
She's young. Perhaps he'll leave and you'll forget him in time.

1240
01:09:10.000 --> 01:09:11.239
Who knows, perhaps you'll learn.

1241
01:09:11.119 --> 01:09:16.560
To love you or me, of course, in time, and we'll.

1242
01:09:16.399 --> 01:09:18.239
Figure a way to keep her safe.

1243
01:09:17.920 --> 01:09:22.920
Here, absolutely see, And don't you worry about it. Tom

1244
01:09:23.000 --> 01:09:33.760
muston time forbid. Good morning, mister Snow.

1245
01:09:38.760 --> 01:09:43.159
Early evening November fourth, I was a fool. I should

1246
01:09:43.199 --> 01:09:46.199
have known he couldn't be trusted. He must have gone

1247
01:09:46.199 --> 01:09:48.199
straight to missus van der Pant. Because this evening the

1248
01:09:48.239 --> 01:09:54.039
atmosphere has changed. People flicker to and fro, smiling nervously horribly,

1249
01:09:54.079 --> 01:09:57.720
with a sort of frightened sadistic exultation. An informal dance

1250
01:09:57.720 --> 01:09:59.720
in the record department has been called off. I can't

1251
01:09:59.720 --> 01:10:02.439
find I'm going out again now to look for her.

1252
01:10:04.680 --> 01:10:05.039
Rascal.

1253
01:10:05.119 --> 01:10:05.880
What have you done with that?

1254
01:10:06.079 --> 01:10:06.359
Ssh?

1255
01:10:06.760 --> 01:10:10.239
Quiet, old boy the night Watchman don't care what have

1256
01:10:10.279 --> 01:10:12.800
you done. Whatever I did was for your own good

1257
01:10:12.840 --> 01:10:14.079
as well as for the good of us all.

1258
01:10:14.640 --> 01:10:21.239
Wait a minute, what is that? What are those people carrying.

1259
01:10:23.319 --> 01:10:25.560
Ella? She's tied up.

1260
01:10:25.560 --> 01:10:27.399
They're carrying Ella.

1261
01:10:28.039 --> 01:10:28.279
Ella.

1262
01:10:28.479 --> 01:10:32.119
Stop the child, stop it. Don't stop, stop child, stop it.

1263
01:10:32.159 --> 01:10:33.720
You'll arouse the night Watchman over there.

1264
01:10:34.079 --> 01:10:34.880
They're taking her.

1265
01:10:34.760 --> 01:10:37.199
Into the butcher shop.

1266
01:10:41.960 --> 01:10:42.319
Rascal.

1267
01:10:43.439 --> 01:10:47.560
Yes, those are the dark men.

1268
01:10:50.000 --> 01:10:50.880
Good Lord.

1269
01:11:01.039 --> 01:11:01.520
Midnight.

1270
01:11:02.960 --> 01:11:08.319
I'm scribbling this last entry hurriedly. They are in there,

1271
01:11:08.319 --> 01:11:11.960
in the butcher shop with Ella, the dark men.

1272
01:11:14.039 --> 01:11:15.119
There's only one thing to do.

1273
01:11:16.439 --> 01:11:18.680
I'm going to find the night Watchman and tell him

1274
01:11:19.520 --> 01:11:23.520
he and I will save her if we can, and

1275
01:11:23.600 --> 01:11:28.199
if we are overpowered, well, I will leave this pad

1276
01:11:28.239 --> 01:11:31.159
on the stationary counter tomorrow.

1277
01:11:32.239 --> 01:11:33.840
If I live, I will recover it.

1278
01:11:35.840 --> 01:11:39.640
If I do not, whoever finds this and reads it,

1279
01:11:41.439 --> 01:11:46.640
look in the store windows. Look for three new wax dummies,

1280
01:11:47.479 --> 01:11:53.199
two men, one rather sensitive looking and a girl. She

1281
01:11:53.279 --> 01:11:57.319
has blonde hair and blue eyes and her nose turns

1282
01:11:57.399 --> 01:12:01.560
up a little. Look for us, and then find them,

1283
01:12:03.199 --> 01:12:09.239
smoke them out, exterminate them, avenge us.

1284
01:12:10.239 --> 01:12:11.800
Oh's Sam, isn't it horrible?

1285
01:12:12.199 --> 01:12:14.239
Ah?

1286
01:12:14.479 --> 01:12:18.319
We gotta do something, tell somebody something, Sam? What do

1287
01:12:18.439 --> 01:12:18.840
we do?

1288
01:12:19.560 --> 01:12:22.000
Do? Nothing? Go to bed?

1289
01:12:22.880 --> 01:12:23.479
What's Sam?

1290
01:12:23.800 --> 01:12:24.680
Who havever wrote?

1291
01:12:24.720 --> 01:12:24.800
This?

1292
01:12:24.880 --> 01:12:27.439
Is sure got a weird sense of humor? It's probably

1293
01:12:27.439 --> 01:12:29.680
some clerk Donald Bracy's wanna be fired?

1294
01:12:30.279 --> 01:12:34.560
But you you mean you think it's just a story?

1295
01:12:34.960 --> 01:12:35.680
Are you kidding?

1296
01:12:36.359 --> 01:12:37.720
He don't believe this stuff?

1297
01:12:37.720 --> 01:12:39.279
Do you?

1298
01:12:39.359 --> 01:12:40.079
Well? I don't know what.

1299
01:12:40.560 --> 01:12:44.520
Oh, forget it, baby, snap out of it. I shouldn't

1300
01:12:44.560 --> 01:12:46.600
leave you alone. You get too many ideas when I

1301
01:12:46.600 --> 01:12:47.720
go out bulling at night.

1302
01:12:48.359 --> 01:12:51.520
But don't you think maybe we ought to just do

1303
01:12:52.199 --> 01:12:54.720
take it back and show somebody or not just.

1304
01:12:54.760 --> 01:12:57.560
Not worth a bottle that laugh at your baby? They

1305
01:12:57.640 --> 01:12:58.960
think you are crazy or something.

1306
01:13:00.199 --> 01:13:03.520
Yeah, yeah, I guess you're right.

1307
01:13:04.680 --> 01:13:05.920
I guess I was silly.

1308
01:13:06.239 --> 01:13:06.960
I forget it.

1309
01:13:07.920 --> 01:13:09.279
Oh, come on, let's go to bed.

1310
01:13:09.600 --> 01:13:14.319
I'm tired, Okay, okay, Sam? Gee, you know that for

1311
01:13:14.359 --> 01:13:15.720
a while I sure was scared.

1312
01:13:17.359 --> 01:13:18.319
I even forgot what.

1313
01:13:18.319 --> 01:13:21.079
I was going to tell you, Sam, I found the

1314
01:13:21.359 --> 01:13:26.319
cutest dress today only nineteen ninety five. Yeah, yeah, it

1315
01:13:26.399 --> 01:13:28.119
was in the window with Bracy's.

1316
01:13:28.680 --> 01:13:30.479
It was on a beautiful little.

1317
01:13:30.239 --> 01:13:38.520
Wax model with blond hair, blue eyes, in a turned

1318
01:13:38.600 --> 01:13:56.439
up nose, and there was two men standing beside.

1319
01:13:59.640 --> 01:14:03.439
Escape is produced and directed by William N. Robeson and

1320
01:14:03.520 --> 01:14:08.199
Tonight brought You Evening Primrose by John Collier, adapted for

1321
01:14:08.359 --> 01:14:12.159
radio by John Duncle, with Elliot Lewis as Charles Snell,

1322
01:14:12.640 --> 01:14:16.720
Paul Frees as Roscoe, and Pat Lowry as Ella. The

1323
01:14:16.800 --> 01:14:20.279
special musical score was conceived and conducted by Sifure.

1324
01:14:25.279 --> 01:14:31.000
Next week, after you've had a tough day at the

1325
01:14:31.199 --> 01:14:37.279
office or leaning over a hot stove, when your four

1326
01:14:37.399 --> 01:14:39.800
wars seem to be closing in on you.

1327
01:14:41.319 --> 01:14:42.760
Next week, at the same.

1328
01:14:42.600 --> 01:14:44.920
Time, when you want to get away from it all,

1329
01:14:46.760 --> 01:14:56.640
we again offer you Escape.

1330
01:15:10.159 --> 01:15:36.079
This is CBS, the Columbia Broadcasting System.

1331
01:15:36.159 --> 01:15:42.079
Hm hmm, my dear, it seems you could use a

1332
01:15:42.079 --> 01:15:46.920
bit of freshening in your team. I'm happy, of course,

1333
01:15:46.960 --> 01:15:52.159
to oblige. There's so much good to drink, so much

1334
01:15:52.199 --> 01:15:55.720
good to to experience.

1335
01:15:58.279 --> 01:15:58.600
M h.

1336
01:16:00.560 --> 01:16:07.239
That is what the night is all about. Otherwise, you

1337
01:16:07.520 --> 01:16:17.840
end up fearful, worry, unwelcome. You begin to feel sort

1338
01:16:17.840 --> 01:16:58.479
of like five canaries in the room.

1339
01:16:40.800 --> 01:17:19.199
And this is the man in black. You're again to

1340
01:17:19.279 --> 01:17:25.319
introduce Columbia's program Suspense. If you have been with us

1341
01:17:25.319 --> 01:17:29.079
on these Tuesday nights, you will know that suspense is

1342
01:17:29.119 --> 01:17:34.880
compounded of mystery and suspicion and dangerous adventure. In this

1343
01:17:35.079 --> 01:17:39.880
series are tails calculated to intrigue you, stir your nerves,

1344
01:17:40.439 --> 01:17:43.800
to offer you a precarious situation, and then withhold a

1345
01:17:43.880 --> 01:17:48.319
solution until the last possible moment. And so, with Five

1346
01:17:48.359 --> 01:17:50.800
Canaries in the Room and the performances of On a

1347
01:17:50.840 --> 01:17:54.960
Month's Nazenita osamasnas CP, and with Lee Bowman as Ronald Denham,

1348
01:17:54.960 --> 01:17:57.399
who tells the story, we again hope to keep you

1349
01:17:57.479 --> 01:17:59.520
in suspense.

1350
01:18:12.239 --> 01:18:14.960
The trouble was you see that the whole apartment vanished.

1351
01:18:15.720 --> 01:18:19.520
It's true, a flat disappeared straight out of that apartment house,

1352
01:18:20.119 --> 01:18:23.680
and the dead man disappeared with it. No, I'm not crazy,

1353
01:18:24.439 --> 01:18:26.319
And in spite of what they said, I hadn't taken

1354
01:18:26.359 --> 01:18:29.840
too many drinks. You see, I was getting married to

1355
01:18:29.880 --> 01:18:32.760
Anita in another two weeks, and Jimmy Westlake gave a

1356
01:18:32.760 --> 01:18:36.079
bachelor party for me. Hang it, it's a situation that

1357
01:18:36.159 --> 01:18:39.119
might have happened to you. The party was at the

1358
01:18:39.119 --> 01:18:41.960
old Captain Bells Club on Lower Fifth Avenue, and it

1359
01:18:42.119 --> 01:18:45.760
wasn't a brawl. Jimmy Westlake was in the chair, I admit,

1360
01:18:46.359 --> 01:18:49.520
but nothing could have been more quiet, more dignified.

1361
01:18:52.680 --> 01:19:05.119
Man, why are you why? My god?

1362
01:19:05.960 --> 01:19:12.279
Spider man at the chairman wants to say something, gentleman.

1363
01:19:10.520 --> 01:19:11.960
This is a solemn occasion.

1364
01:19:12.600 --> 01:19:14.439
Those dopes over there will kindly get away from the

1365
01:19:14.479 --> 01:19:15.800
piano and sit down at the table.

1366
01:19:15.840 --> 01:19:17.319
I have another toaster propos.

1367
01:19:17.880 --> 01:19:21.359
Excuse me, mister Westley, Excuse me, please say Kato?

1368
01:19:21.439 --> 01:19:21.840
What is it?

1369
01:19:22.039 --> 01:19:24.840
Excuse me, mister Westlake. But you ain't gonna bust the

1370
01:19:24.960 --> 01:19:26.399
glasses on this tool fish?

1371
01:19:26.520 --> 01:19:28.840
And why shouldn't we bust the glasses? Unclecado? Why shouldn't

1372
01:19:28.840 --> 01:19:29.600
we bust the glasses?

1373
01:19:29.640 --> 01:19:32.880
Oh but mister Westlake, if you keep on busting the glasses,

1374
01:19:32.960 --> 01:19:35.760
they ain't wan be no glasses left for Matt's side.

1375
01:19:35.760 --> 01:19:38.840
Eventuela know, we will simply start busting the plates.

1376
01:19:39.199 --> 01:19:42.239
Is that phara enough voice?

1377
01:19:44.239 --> 01:19:44.279
So?

1378
01:19:45.199 --> 01:19:45.560
Please?

1379
01:19:49.279 --> 01:19:51.159
Oh look, Jimmy, I do you think you'd better call

1380
01:19:51.239 --> 01:19:53.880
the gang? Donald lea quiet one. You're only the group

1381
01:19:54.119 --> 01:19:54.880
I know, Jimmy.

1382
01:19:54.920 --> 01:19:55.880
But gentlemen, I.

1383
01:19:55.800 --> 01:19:58.960
Regret to tell you this, but the protesting voice you

1384
01:19:59.119 --> 01:20:00.439
just heard was that about Guest.

1385
01:20:00.279 --> 01:20:03.039
Of Honor Ronald Denham.

1386
01:20:03.199 --> 01:20:05.560
Now we all know ron and we all like him,

1387
01:20:06.439 --> 01:20:09.479
but I am sorry to say he is not himself.

1388
01:20:10.319 --> 01:20:13.560
Where now is the terror of nightclubs? The chorus Girl's friend.

1389
01:20:14.520 --> 01:20:18.199
I say it to his face. He is sober, but

1390
01:20:18.479 --> 01:20:22.159
we like him. Just to say, friends, guests and bachelors,

1391
01:20:22.199 --> 01:20:23.920
I give you the groove.

1392
01:20:32.479 --> 01:20:35.079
Please, gentlemen, don't push the glasses.

1393
01:20:35.199 --> 01:20:37.199
Hey, come on, Ron, come on say if you were

1394
01:20:38.119 --> 01:20:41.439
get out. Look, boys, I thank you for all the

1395
01:20:41.479 --> 01:20:43.039
good words. And I don't want to be a wet

1396
01:20:43.079 --> 01:20:45.159
blanket on the party. But it's nearly midnight and I've

1397
01:20:45.199 --> 01:20:49.880
got to get home early. Don't you understand, boys, I'm

1398
01:20:49.880 --> 01:20:53.560
a reform character. Eh, how's fee latour? I haven't seen

1399
01:20:53.600 --> 01:20:56.159
Phoebe for over years. He doesn't mean anything to me anymore.

1400
01:20:56.159 --> 01:20:58.000
He thinks he does protest too much.

1401
01:20:58.359 --> 01:21:01.239
And now look, I'm marrying sweetest girl in the world.

1402
01:21:01.560 --> 01:21:04.760
But Anita is a little well straight lace, you know

1403
01:21:04.800 --> 01:21:12.960
how it is. What's more, there's my uncle Rufus. Why

1404
01:21:14.000 --> 01:21:18.279
what Anita and Uncle Rufus. Anita and Uncle Rufus have

1405
01:21:18.359 --> 01:21:21.079
apartments in the same building as I have, And what's more,

1406
01:21:21.119 --> 01:21:24.159
they're on the same floor. And that's not all. Tom Evans,

1407
01:21:24.159 --> 01:21:26.199
the fellow I share my plantam And where.

1408
01:21:25.960 --> 01:21:26.920
Is Tom Evans night?

1409
01:21:27.000 --> 01:21:28.000
What's the matter with him?

1410
01:21:28.199 --> 01:21:32.479
Tom works for Uncle Rufus and he doesn't drink? He

1411
01:21:32.920 --> 01:21:38.279
a fella, fellow? Why are two baboos?

1412
01:21:38.359 --> 01:21:42.960
Choir? Now?

1413
01:21:43.119 --> 01:21:46.399
Wait a minute, will you put yourselves in my plans?

1414
01:21:46.760 --> 01:21:49.399
My girl and my uncle and my best friend Tom

1415
01:21:49.399 --> 01:21:51.399
Evans are all expecting me to come home from this

1416
01:21:51.439 --> 01:21:54.359
party in an ash cart and I'm gonna pool him

1417
01:21:56.000 --> 01:21:57.359
and I have a heart, can't.

1418
01:21:57.399 --> 01:21:59.760
You must be a pretty tough ague, is me?

1419
01:22:00.199 --> 01:22:00.319
Oh?

1420
01:22:00.359 --> 01:22:02.239
He is all right, But after his first million dollars

1421
01:22:02.239 --> 01:22:02.920
it went to his head.

1422
01:22:03.439 --> 01:22:05.000
Has he got any human weaknesses?

1423
01:22:05.199 --> 01:22:05.479
Yes?

1424
01:22:05.520 --> 01:22:09.159
He keeps canaries. Oh no, not the kind of canaries

1425
01:22:09.159 --> 01:22:11.199
you're thinking. I mean the kind of go tweet tweet

1426
01:22:11.239 --> 01:22:11.720
in caje.

1427
01:22:13.119 --> 01:22:14.279
Oh what they use?

1428
01:22:14.880 --> 01:22:15.960
What do you say, gentlemen?

1429
01:22:16.119 --> 01:22:18.199
Shall we allow this pure in heart to wend his

1430
01:22:18.279 --> 01:22:18.680
way home?

1431
01:22:18.920 --> 01:22:21.640
He's got it great for your pride, that's right, Ron.

1432
01:22:22.079 --> 01:22:24.359
Can you as a chivalrous gentleman, refuse to drink to

1433
01:22:24.399 --> 01:22:24.840
the bride.

1434
01:22:25.159 --> 01:22:26.760
You can't when you know you can't.

1435
01:22:26.880 --> 01:22:29.800
Uncle Kato, Yes, sir, mister Westley, get a beer mug

1436
01:22:29.800 --> 01:22:31.840
from the sideboard there, fill it with champagne.

1437
01:22:32.039 --> 01:22:33.239
I wait a minute, Yes.

1438
01:22:33.199 --> 01:22:33.960
One more drink?

1439
01:22:34.000 --> 01:22:34.520
Will pert you?

1440
01:22:34.600 --> 01:22:34.960
Surely?

1441
01:22:35.159 --> 01:22:36.079
Just one little drink?

1442
01:22:36.319 --> 01:22:37.399
Oh no, I suppose not.

1443
01:22:37.600 --> 01:22:38.680
You let off Uncle Kato.

1444
01:22:38.920 --> 01:22:41.000
All right, I'll have one more drink just in honor

1445
01:22:41.000 --> 01:22:45.239
of the occasion. But that's all, you understand, that's absolutely.

1446
01:22:44.560 --> 01:23:11.359
All, Yes, sir, oh nine eight Park Avenue.

1447
01:23:12.359 --> 01:23:13.560
Hey, Hey, hey, missed up?

1448
01:23:13.600 --> 01:23:15.079
Missed that. I'm I wake up?

1449
01:23:17.119 --> 01:23:18.159
What's wrong your home?

1450
01:23:18.199 --> 01:23:18.439
Mister?

1451
01:23:18.640 --> 01:23:19.800
This is the apartment house.

1452
01:23:20.239 --> 01:23:23.039
Yeah, yes, of course, thanks to go.

1453
01:23:24.079 --> 01:23:29.359
Now are you sure you're all right? Yes, I'm all right.

1454
01:23:29.439 --> 01:23:31.720
I have been to a bachelor party.

1455
01:23:32.039 --> 01:23:32.880
Sure, I know.

1456
01:23:33.000 --> 01:23:34.359
We'll take it easy now.

1457
01:23:34.920 --> 01:23:39.560
I can't see straight. The whole street's going around. The

1458
01:23:39.640 --> 01:23:41.880
funny part is I only had a couple of drinks.

1459
01:23:42.520 --> 01:23:44.840
They must have put something in that last.

1460
01:23:45.119 --> 01:23:47.239
Well, it's not my business, mister, but I wouldn't tell

1461
01:23:47.279 --> 01:23:48.279
that of the missus.

1462
01:23:48.000 --> 01:23:48.520
If I was you.

1463
01:23:48.720 --> 01:23:49.800
It's absolutely true.

1464
01:23:49.920 --> 01:23:52.520
You're sure I know why, and I haven't got a missus,

1465
01:23:52.560 --> 01:23:56.159
not yet. My word of honor. I'm a reformed character.

1466
01:23:56.239 --> 01:23:58.520
I have nothing to do with any woman except.

1467
01:23:59.840 --> 01:24:03.520
I live and breathe. It is Ronald Jannam Fiffy Latour.

1468
01:24:03.680 --> 01:24:06.600
Oh sure, how good it is to see you. I

1469
01:24:06.680 --> 01:24:10.199
look everywhere for you. I cry my eyes out, but

1470
01:24:10.319 --> 01:24:12.399
I don't find you. What are you doing here?

1471
01:24:12.880 --> 01:24:14.560
I live here, Fife, I moved.

1472
01:24:14.800 --> 01:24:16.119
Oh you try to get away from me?

1473
01:24:16.279 --> 01:24:16.520
Yes?

1474
01:24:16.840 --> 01:24:21.600
Yes and no. No, I mean here's your money driver, night,

1475
01:24:21.800 --> 01:24:24.159
I mean night, sir. I'm yours lady.

1476
01:24:24.439 --> 01:24:25.760
You better take care of him.

1477
01:24:25.800 --> 01:24:30.079
I take care of him. Yes, you bet you my

1478
01:24:30.359 --> 01:24:31.000
poor wrong.

1479
01:24:31.840 --> 01:24:34.800
I forgive you this time because you've been on the

1480
01:24:34.840 --> 01:24:36.079
wrestle dessel.

1481
01:24:35.760 --> 01:24:38.399
And you need someone to take care of you. You

1482
01:24:38.479 --> 01:24:38.960
live in this.

1483
01:24:39.000 --> 01:24:41.479
Building, yes, yes, the floor right?

1484
01:24:41.600 --> 01:24:44.000
Oh good? I take you to your apartment.

1485
01:24:44.399 --> 01:24:46.279
No, no, no, you say no?

1486
01:24:46.720 --> 01:24:47.319
And why not.

1487
01:24:47.560 --> 01:24:49.199
Because you mustn't go in there?

1488
01:24:49.359 --> 01:24:51.039
Oh oh there's an our woman.

1489
01:24:51.479 --> 01:24:53.119
Oh yes, well yes.

1490
01:24:53.239 --> 01:24:56.039
The the fact is, Fiffe, I'm going to get married.

1491
01:24:56.239 --> 01:24:59.479
Married for heaven's sake, Fiffy, don't make a scene in

1492
01:24:59.520 --> 01:25:00.319
the middle of the street.

1493
01:25:00.359 --> 01:25:02.560
Oh, you break my heart right in the middle of

1494
01:25:02.640 --> 01:25:04.640
Park Avenue. You take my heart and you break it.

1495
01:25:04.720 --> 01:25:05.760
Bang bag beefee.

1496
01:25:05.880 --> 01:25:07.439
Please, no, I tell you what you do.

1497
01:25:07.680 --> 01:25:10.000
You will take me to your part in this very minute.

1498
01:25:10.199 --> 01:25:11.119
No, definitely no.

1499
01:25:11.239 --> 01:25:13.840
You will give me one cigarette and one brandy. You

1500
01:25:13.880 --> 01:25:16.239
will tell me what this means. Oh, I want you

1501
01:25:16.279 --> 01:25:18.439
by golly. I start screaming so they can hear.

1502
01:25:18.319 --> 01:25:19.039
Me at city Hall.

1503
01:25:19.159 --> 01:25:20.800
I can't do it. Fife all right?

1504
01:25:21.039 --> 01:25:21.960
Then I start screaming.

1505
01:25:21.960 --> 01:25:24.920
Oh wait a minute, of all the times in the

1506
01:25:25.000 --> 01:25:26.119
world you had to pick.

1507
01:25:26.079 --> 01:25:28.760
This, Do I go along, Cherie? Yes or no?

1508
01:25:29.319 --> 01:25:31.279
Well, if I do take your fife, will you promise

1509
01:25:31.319 --> 01:25:31.760
to be good?

1510
01:25:33.119 --> 01:25:34.319
I am always good.

1511
01:25:34.520 --> 01:25:36.960
You won't kick up a row or start banging the doors.

1512
01:25:37.960 --> 01:25:39.159
Oh if Anita heard of this?

1513
01:25:39.359 --> 01:25:39.760
Anita?

1514
01:25:39.880 --> 01:25:40.359
And who's she?

1515
01:25:40.600 --> 01:25:40.720
Oh?

1516
01:25:40.800 --> 01:25:42.920
Never mind, I'm too groggy to argue.

1517
01:25:43.159 --> 01:25:43.560
Come on.

1518
01:25:50.479 --> 01:25:55.840
I remember going into that building, dim religious light, deep carpets,

1519
01:25:56.279 --> 01:25:59.039
an automatic elevator that you work yourself. I remember stepping

1520
01:25:59.039 --> 01:26:03.039
into that elevator because the floor creaked. I remember pressing

1521
01:26:03.039 --> 01:26:06.319
the button for the fifth floor. I took Fifi with me,

1522
01:26:06.359 --> 01:26:08.600
and I took her into what the Champagne told me

1523
01:26:08.760 --> 01:26:13.680
was my own flat. Maybe you think that's funny, but

1524
01:26:13.760 --> 01:26:17.159
it won't be funny much longer. Either the door of

1525
01:26:17.199 --> 01:26:20.680
the flat was unlocked or my key fitted it anyway.

1526
01:26:20.760 --> 01:26:24.399
I remember stumbling through the little hall inside, getting a

1527
01:26:24.479 --> 01:26:28.039
light on, and into the living room. I remember sitting

1528
01:26:28.039 --> 01:26:30.119
back in an easy chair, thanking the lord.

1529
01:26:30.159 --> 01:26:30.800
I was home.

1530
01:26:33.239 --> 01:26:35.159
If I take my cold alf Chari.

1531
01:26:35.319 --> 01:26:37.399
Look, Fifi, couldn't you just go home?

1532
01:26:37.600 --> 01:26:40.600
I want to talk to you, Chari. And this is

1533
01:26:40.640 --> 01:26:42.000
one very nice flat.

1534
01:26:42.439 --> 01:26:43.159
I like it.

1535
01:26:43.560 --> 01:26:46.039
Thanks a lot, you and Tom Evans.

1536
01:26:46.239 --> 01:26:47.920
You have good taste in furniture.

1537
01:26:48.479 --> 01:26:50.279
We didn't choose the furniture, Fifi.

1538
01:26:50.720 --> 01:26:51.920
This girl of yours choose it.

1539
01:26:51.960 --> 01:26:54.439
I suppose No, it comes with the flat. Oh you

1540
01:26:54.520 --> 01:26:58.079
mean well, these are furnished flats. They're all furnished exactly alike,

1541
01:26:58.159 --> 01:27:02.239
except for the personal things you bring yourself. That picture

1542
01:27:02.279 --> 01:27:06.560
on the wall behind me, what do juy the painting

1543
01:27:06.600 --> 01:27:08.199
of the clipper ship over there?

1544
01:27:08.640 --> 01:27:12.520
But Juey, your eyes are funny and you cannot say

1545
01:27:12.560 --> 01:27:15.000
straight there's no picture on that wall.

1546
01:27:16.159 --> 01:27:17.600
Wait a minute, what's wrong?

1547
01:27:18.039 --> 01:27:18.880
Why you jump off?

1548
01:27:19.439 --> 01:27:23.840
We we don't own any bronze bookends, and the lampshades

1549
01:27:23.880 --> 01:27:27.199
are different. And if you were in the wrong.

1550
01:27:26.960 --> 01:27:31.560
Flat, well, Linda explains everything explains what it explains about

1551
01:27:31.560 --> 01:27:32.479
the canary birds?

1552
01:27:32.560 --> 01:27:33.640
What canary birds?

1553
01:27:33.760 --> 01:27:35.960
When he first come in here, I think, I hear

1554
01:27:36.000 --> 01:27:38.680
a lot of birds sing, and I think, ooh la, lad,

1555
01:27:38.760 --> 01:27:41.239
this is a funny taste for one Deniman Tom Evans.

1556
01:27:41.279 --> 01:27:45.359
But then Uncle Rufus, Great Scott, Uncle Rufus.

1557
01:27:45.039 --> 01:27:47.359
His uncle of yours, he keep canary bird.

1558
01:27:47.279 --> 01:27:49.600
Yes, five of them. But this isn't his flat. I

1559
01:27:49.640 --> 01:27:51.319
know his flat as well as I know my own.

1560
01:27:51.920 --> 01:27:53.199
Would you hear the singing.

1561
01:27:53.199 --> 01:27:55.439
Behind that door over there where I point.

1562
01:27:55.800 --> 01:27:57.319
Ought to be the door to the dining room.

1563
01:27:57.560 --> 01:28:00.920
But what was That's a car? Backfire?

1564
01:28:01.000 --> 01:28:01.439
Maybe yet?

1565
01:28:01.560 --> 01:28:03.479
Maybe no, unless they keep cars in dining rooms.

1566
01:28:03.760 --> 01:28:04.479
That was a gun.

1567
01:28:04.840 --> 01:28:06.039
It came from the dining room.

1568
01:28:06.239 --> 01:28:08.319
I think, so quick, let's get out of here.

1569
01:28:08.359 --> 01:28:09.039
Oh no, we don't.

1570
01:28:09.640 --> 01:28:11.479
I've been pushed around an I tell I'm good and mad,

1571
01:28:11.479 --> 01:28:13.319
and I'm just about crazy enough to find out what

1572
01:28:13.359 --> 01:28:14.039
this is all about.

1573
01:28:14.239 --> 01:28:15.680
You're not going to open that door.

1574
01:28:15.920 --> 01:28:16.880
You just watch me.

1575
01:28:17.840 --> 01:28:20.000
There's a light in that room anyway, Oh you know,

1576
01:28:20.920 --> 01:28:22.159
look into the sill of the door.

1577
01:28:23.199 --> 01:28:24.239
Not a very bright light.

1578
01:28:24.359 --> 01:28:26.479
But don't do it.

1579
01:28:26.760 --> 01:28:29.039
Stand back now. I get the door open.

1580
01:28:32.079 --> 01:28:34.439
Dining room had.

1581
01:28:34.359 --> 01:28:35.199
Uncle rufe.

1582
01:28:36.760 --> 01:28:42.079
Five canary birds, five canaries in cages, all in the

1583
01:28:42.159 --> 01:28:45.119
line Satan's.

1584
01:28:44.760 --> 01:28:45.279
Name, aren't we?

1585
01:28:45.520 --> 01:28:46.079
Oh suh?

1586
01:28:46.199 --> 01:28:50.079
I don't know whose flat is this? Who except Uncle

1587
01:28:50.119 --> 01:28:51.680
Rufus would keep five canaries?

1588
01:28:53.520 --> 01:28:54.239
Wondering though?

1589
01:28:54.960 --> 01:28:59.079
And then I go out of here. Well, there's somebody

1590
01:28:59.159 --> 01:29:04.680
watching us? Where the swing door to the kitchen's pockety open?

1591
01:29:05.279 --> 01:29:07.479
But don't look the double can I see it?

1592
01:29:07.479 --> 01:29:10.520
If I don't look, does somebody standing behind it?

1593
01:29:10.960 --> 01:29:12.560
I see the night shine.

1594
01:29:12.279 --> 01:29:13.239
On his eye?

1595
01:29:13.439 --> 01:29:20.840
Quiet, Fifi? Hello there, Hello there? The don't move a

1596
01:29:20.840 --> 01:29:21.359
little more.

1597
01:29:22.199 --> 01:29:23.119
He's pushing it.

1598
01:29:24.039 --> 01:29:24.760
Excuse me, sir.

1599
01:29:25.439 --> 01:29:27.560
We didn't mean to barge in here. We're not burglars

1600
01:29:27.680 --> 01:29:30.640
or anything like that. We got into the wrong flat,

1601
01:29:30.720 --> 01:29:32.840
that's all I want to apologize.

1602
01:29:32.840 --> 01:29:33.119
If we.

1603
01:29:35.760 --> 01:29:39.880
Straight out through the door on his face, what's the

1604
01:29:39.920 --> 01:29:40.560
matter with him?

1605
01:29:40.840 --> 01:29:41.760
Why don't you move?

1606
01:29:42.720 --> 01:29:56.399
I've got an idea, Fifi, it's because he's dead. He

1607
01:29:56.560 --> 01:29:59.359
was a little fat man with eyeglasses and a spade

1608
01:29:59.399 --> 01:30:04.479
shaped beer. He looked foreign somehow, and there was a

1609
01:30:04.520 --> 01:30:10.399
bullet hole over his heart. You asked me what happened?

1610
01:30:10.399 --> 01:30:10.680
Then?

1611
01:30:11.399 --> 01:30:14.600
I don't know. Fiefe turned and ran. At least I

1612
01:30:14.720 --> 01:30:17.359
think she did. I bent over the man to make

1613
01:30:17.399 --> 01:30:21.640
sure he was dead, and then something hit me. So

1614
01:30:21.760 --> 01:30:25.199
it hadn't been enough of a nightmare already. I could

1615
01:30:25.199 --> 01:30:28.640
hear that blackjack strike the back of my skull, and

1616
01:30:28.680 --> 01:30:33.119
everything exploded. I couldn't get my breath, and I seemed

1617
01:30:33.119 --> 01:30:36.560
to be swimming in dark water. The next voice I

1618
01:30:36.600 --> 01:30:42.520
heard wasn't Fiefe's at all. It was Anita's and Ron Denom. Oh,

1619
01:30:43.279 --> 01:30:47.279
oh my head, oh lord, my head.

1620
01:30:47.720 --> 01:30:51.960
Well I'm not at all surprised, but said Anita. I

1621
01:30:52.000 --> 01:30:54.600
can't hear you, I said, I'm not at all surprised

1622
01:30:55.000 --> 01:30:58.239
of all the disgraceful, disserute objects I ever saw.

1623
01:30:59.079 --> 01:31:02.800
Anita, where am I darling?

1624
01:31:02.840 --> 01:31:03.880
As though you didn't know?

1625
01:31:04.880 --> 01:31:06.079
But I don't know.

1626
01:31:07.119 --> 01:31:09.399
My head feels like a like a printing press in

1627
01:31:09.520 --> 01:31:10.239
full blast.

1628
01:31:11.159 --> 01:31:12.960
Well, you're not in the main hall there on the

1629
01:31:12.960 --> 01:31:16.079
fifth floor, sitting on the stairs beside the elevator shaft.

1630
01:31:16.800 --> 01:31:21.119
That's true. But how did I get here? Oh?

1631
01:31:21.159 --> 01:31:24.640
No, really, run, I must have been carried here.

1632
01:31:25.399 --> 01:31:25.880
That's it.

1633
01:31:26.159 --> 01:31:28.840
Why you're drunken friends at the club. I don't doubt

1634
01:31:28.880 --> 01:31:29.520
its least.

1635
01:31:29.880 --> 01:31:34.119
No, Anita, No, you don't understand. I left that party early.

1636
01:31:34.479 --> 01:31:37.520
I was cold, sober, but the low hounds wanted to

1637
01:31:37.560 --> 01:31:40.720
see me come home in bad shape so they could,

1638
01:31:40.920 --> 01:31:42.760
so they put something in my glass.

1639
01:31:42.840 --> 01:31:45.399
Oh naturally run with Gio Champagne.

1640
01:31:45.560 --> 01:31:47.760
Oh no, Anita, I mean a drug of some kind.

1641
01:31:48.680 --> 01:31:50.800
It was dizzy when I got here. Just as I

1642
01:31:50.840 --> 01:31:52.159
was getting out of the taxi, I.

1643
01:31:52.159 --> 01:31:56.319
Met, Well, go on, dear, whom did you meet?

1644
01:31:57.600 --> 01:32:01.199
Nobody, Anita, nobody at all. I came up here to

1645
01:32:01.239 --> 01:32:03.680
what I thought was my own flat, but it wasn't

1646
01:32:03.680 --> 01:32:07.159
my flat. It was somebody else's. There were a lot

1647
01:32:07.199 --> 01:32:09.840
of canaries singing, and a dead man with a bullet

1648
01:32:09.840 --> 01:32:15.560
hole in his chest. And this sounds pretty crazy, doesn't.

1649
01:32:15.279 --> 01:32:20.119
It, Yes, Dear, it certainly does, but it's true. Oh ron,

1650
01:32:20.760 --> 01:32:22.920
I suppose I've got to forgive you. I always do

1651
01:32:23.079 --> 01:32:25.520
forgive you. I'll run along like a good boy and

1652
01:32:25.560 --> 01:32:26.159
sleep it off.

1653
01:32:26.640 --> 01:32:30.920
Listen, Anita, there's a dead man in one of these flats.

1654
01:32:31.479 --> 01:32:34.479
A dead man in which flat?

1655
01:32:34.600 --> 01:32:36.239
Well, that's just it. I don't know.

1656
01:32:36.880 --> 01:32:38.479
You're not saying it's on this floor.

1657
01:32:38.640 --> 01:32:41.640
Yes, I definitely remember pressing the button for the fifth floor.

1658
01:32:42.239 --> 01:32:45.039
I suppose you listen to me, dear, don't make faces

1659
01:32:45.039 --> 01:32:45.840
and rumple your hair.

1660
01:32:46.079 --> 01:32:46.560
Just listen.

1661
01:32:46.960 --> 01:32:49.800
There are only two other apartments on this floor. One

1662
01:32:49.880 --> 01:32:50.399
is your uncle.

1663
01:32:50.560 --> 01:32:52.079
It wasn't his, I'll swear to that one.

1664
01:32:52.159 --> 01:32:54.760
The other is mine. You don't think I'm hiding a

1665
01:32:54.800 --> 01:32:55.239
dead man.

1666
01:32:55.439 --> 01:32:57.119
No, it wasn't your flat either.

1667
01:32:57.000 --> 01:32:58.359
Well then where is it, darling?

1668
01:32:59.159 --> 01:33:01.600
The whole flat can vanished and take the dead man along,

1669
01:33:01.960 --> 01:33:02.279
can it?

1670
01:33:02.760 --> 01:33:02.920
No?

1671
01:33:03.920 --> 01:33:06.399
But I'll tell you something else, Anita. I've seen that

1672
01:33:06.479 --> 01:33:07.760
man's face somewhere before.

1673
01:33:08.279 --> 01:33:08.960
Who's face?

1674
01:33:09.039 --> 01:33:14.239
The dead man's thick eyeglasses, square, black beard? Something firing

1675
01:33:14.319 --> 01:33:17.399
about it. I've seen him, or or I've seen his picture?

1676
01:33:17.560 --> 01:33:19.800
Or Ron? Please, what's wrong?

1677
01:33:19.840 --> 01:33:22.720
This's the elevator. Somebody's coming up. Oh please, don't let

1678
01:33:22.720 --> 01:33:25.520
people see you. Your hat smashed in and your ties untied,

1679
01:33:25.520 --> 01:33:27.119
and you look like nothing on earth.

1680
01:33:27.399 --> 01:33:28.159
Look here, Anita.

1681
01:33:28.199 --> 01:33:29.920
If it comes to that, what are you doing out

1682
01:33:29.920 --> 01:33:31.760
in the hall and negligee and pajamas?

1683
01:33:31.760 --> 01:33:34.640
So I wanted to make sure you got home safely. Ron,

1684
01:33:34.720 --> 01:33:37.319
the elevator, Tom Evans, and your uncle rupers.

1685
01:33:37.359 --> 01:33:38.399
All right, I can take it.

1686
01:33:38.520 --> 01:33:40.840
That's your uncle, can't. I don't say anything to him

1687
01:33:40.880 --> 01:33:41.720
about this dead man?

1688
01:33:41.840 --> 01:33:42.479
Promise me.

1689
01:33:42.880 --> 01:33:43.880
Hold on, I've got it.

1690
01:33:44.960 --> 01:33:45.640
Pierre de Roc.

1691
01:33:46.079 --> 01:33:49.000
Who Pierre de Roc? That's the dead man's name.

1692
01:33:49.399 --> 01:33:59.880
He nineteen thirty eight. The prospect of a European war

1693
01:34:00.279 --> 01:34:03.760
is so remote as not to be worth serious consideration.

1694
01:34:04.119 --> 01:34:06.000
Excuse meself, but isn't that a little strong?

1695
01:34:06.119 --> 01:34:07.600
I don't argue with me, Evans.

1696
01:34:08.479 --> 01:34:11.720
Let me turn my secretary to look here?

1697
01:34:12.279 --> 01:34:12.720
What's this?

1698
01:34:12.880 --> 01:34:14.319
When I look, Uncle Rupe's Oh.

1699
01:34:14.239 --> 01:34:16.279
I can't stand any more of this. I'm dead up.

1700
01:34:16.359 --> 01:34:18.840
Well, I don't blame you, my dear. Is his neph

1701
01:34:18.880 --> 01:34:20.399
you will mind? Been annoying you again?

1702
01:34:20.680 --> 01:34:21.520
No, of course not.

1703
01:34:21.680 --> 01:34:24.079
But please don't pay any attention to him.

1704
01:34:24.159 --> 01:34:27.399
He's he's drunk for the last time.

1705
01:34:27.520 --> 01:34:28.640
I am not drunk.

1706
01:34:29.000 --> 01:34:30.920
I just want to ask Uncle Rupus before I go

1707
01:34:31.039 --> 01:34:34.239
completely nuts, whether he hasn't heard of Pierre du ROCs that, Ronald,

1708
01:34:34.479 --> 01:34:37.159
would you say, Pierre du Roc the French millionaire?

1709
01:34:37.239 --> 01:34:38.079
Well, what about him?

1710
01:34:38.640 --> 01:34:40.840
He's the man who always deals in cash on the line,

1711
01:34:40.920 --> 01:34:43.479
spot cash, even if it's a million. I saw his

1712
01:34:43.520 --> 01:34:45.079
picture in the paper. He's in New York to put

1713
01:34:45.079 --> 01:34:46.079
through a business deal with you.

1714
01:34:46.119 --> 01:34:46.319
With me?

1715
01:34:46.319 --> 01:34:50.680
He indeed, Ronald, you show a commendable interest in my affairs.

1716
01:34:51.119 --> 01:34:52.880
That's what you want me to do, isn't it? I

1717
01:34:52.960 --> 01:34:55.479
believe does want to buy some property I own, but

1718
01:34:55.800 --> 01:34:58.800
he hasn't approached me, and I haven't approached him. It's

1719
01:34:58.840 --> 01:34:59.880
a bad business.

1720
01:35:00.680 --> 01:35:00.880
Eh.

1721
01:35:01.479 --> 01:35:05.319
Why have you developed this sudden interest in Duroc because

1722
01:35:05.319 --> 01:35:06.760
he's dead dead?

1723
01:35:07.399 --> 01:35:09.319
Somebody shot him in a room full of canaries and

1724
01:35:09.319 --> 01:35:10.479
then slugged me over the head.

1725
01:35:11.319 --> 01:35:12.600
Do you believe me, Evans?

1726
01:35:12.640 --> 01:35:14.680
If your uncle will excuse me, old man, I don't

1727
01:35:14.680 --> 01:35:17.079
see any reason not to believeable. Where's the body?

1728
01:35:17.199 --> 01:35:19.920
Well, that's the trouble. Ron claims he founded in a flat.

1729
01:35:19.960 --> 01:35:25.319
It doesn't exist. Listen, what's that sound like?

1730
01:35:25.399 --> 01:35:27.760
Somebody running upstairs in the devil of a hurry?

1731
01:35:28.119 --> 01:35:29.000
Maybe it's a dead man.

1732
01:35:29.159 --> 01:35:30.840
As a matter of fact, it's the night porter. He's

1733
01:35:30.840 --> 01:35:32.720
the one who can tell us, tell us what. Well,

1734
01:35:32.760 --> 01:35:34.640
maybe I did get off at a different floor, but

1735
01:35:34.680 --> 01:35:36.760
that flat's got to be somewhere in this building.

1736
01:35:37.199 --> 01:35:39.079
Pierson, for just a minute, Pierson.

1737
01:35:39.439 --> 01:35:42.760
I'm very sorry, sir, but can't stop now. Please stand aside.

1738
01:35:42.800 --> 01:35:44.199
I got to go upstairs and get the manager.

1739
01:35:44.239 --> 01:35:45.479
Why person, is anything wrong?

1740
01:35:45.720 --> 01:35:48.359
Well, mister Evans, peak up man, is anything wrong? Here's

1741
01:35:48.399 --> 01:35:50.760
the police, sir. We found a dead man the palm

1742
01:35:50.840 --> 01:35:53.159
garden downstairs.

1743
01:35:54.319 --> 01:35:55.399
Now do you believe me?

1744
01:35:55.760 --> 01:35:58.119
You will oblige me, all of you, if you remain

1745
01:35:58.239 --> 01:35:59.640
quiet and allow me to deal with this.

1746
01:36:01.439 --> 01:36:03.600
Oh what does this man look like, Pearson?

1747
01:36:03.840 --> 01:36:06.720
He's a foreign looking gentleman, Sir, never saw him before,

1748
01:36:07.000 --> 01:36:08.039
doesn't live in the building.

1749
01:36:08.119 --> 01:36:09.960
Well, and how did he get to the palm guard?

1750
01:36:10.199 --> 01:36:12.680
Well, sure, that's what we don't know. He certainly wasn't

1751
01:36:12.680 --> 01:36:14.640
there when I looked in half an hour ago. But

1752
01:36:14.720 --> 01:36:16.720
I went back to the palm garden just a chance,

1753
01:36:16.760 --> 01:36:18.840
and there he was, in a wicker chair, with the

1754
01:36:18.920 --> 01:36:20.960
singing birds and cages all around him.

1755
01:36:21.119 --> 01:36:22.880
Birds again, Oh, be quiet? Wrong?

1756
01:36:23.079 --> 01:36:26.319
He'd been shot, sir. The police think he was brought

1757
01:36:26.359 --> 01:36:29.000
down in the service elevator from somewhere upstairs.

1758
01:36:29.199 --> 01:36:30.199
Why do they think that?

1759
01:36:30.439 --> 01:36:32.720
Because they found a revolver in that elevator in a

1760
01:36:32.720 --> 01:36:36.359
little paper band, the kuy that goes round banknotes. If

1761
01:36:36.359 --> 01:36:37.920
they could tell where the dead man came.

1762
01:36:37.760 --> 01:36:39.239
He can't tell us where he came from.

1763
01:36:39.359 --> 01:36:41.439
Huh hi, high cancer.

1764
01:36:41.600 --> 01:36:43.479
Yes, you've been in most of the flats in this building,

1765
01:36:43.520 --> 01:36:43.840
haven't you.

1766
01:36:44.399 --> 01:36:45.920
I've been inside all of them.

1767
01:36:45.960 --> 01:36:49.039
Sure, Why, well would you recognize any given flat if

1768
01:36:49.079 --> 01:36:50.000
I described.

1769
01:36:49.640 --> 01:36:52.640
It, well, yes, sir, certainly.

1770
01:36:52.680 --> 01:36:55.479
But well, then, for the love of Mike, think who

1771
01:36:55.560 --> 01:36:57.720
lives in a flat with five canary cages in the

1772
01:36:57.760 --> 01:36:58.359
dining room?

1773
01:36:58.439 --> 01:36:58.760
Ronald?

1774
01:36:59.119 --> 01:36:59.840
Are you out of here?

1775
01:36:59.840 --> 01:37:00.000
Mind?

1776
01:37:00.079 --> 01:37:03.560
And in case you don't happen to remember, you're describing

1777
01:37:03.600 --> 01:37:04.159
my place.

1778
01:37:04.279 --> 01:37:06.880
No, it was like your place, but it wasn't at all.

1779
01:37:06.920 --> 01:37:10.760
The same oriental prints on the walls in the living room,

1780
01:37:11.319 --> 01:37:15.840
bronze bookends and bronze lamps, dragon patterns on the lamp shades.

1781
01:37:16.159 --> 01:37:18.800
There was a queer kind of clock on the mantelpiece,

1782
01:37:19.159 --> 01:37:22.600
shaped like a figure of father time. And that's the

1783
01:37:22.640 --> 01:37:23.520
matter with you person.

1784
01:37:23.840 --> 01:37:27.399
Nothing sure, But you're sure you saw that?

1785
01:37:28.039 --> 01:37:29.119
Yes, of course, I'm sure.

1786
01:37:29.159 --> 01:37:32.920
Why not because I'm sorry, sir, but you couldn't have

1787
01:37:32.920 --> 01:37:34.960
seen it? What do you mean I couldn't have seen it?

1788
01:37:35.000 --> 01:37:37.399
I did see it. Who lives in the blasted place?

1789
01:37:37.600 --> 01:37:38.199
Nobody?

1790
01:37:38.560 --> 01:37:39.800
Well, you mean the flats vacant?

1791
01:37:41.239 --> 01:37:44.279
No, sir, I mean there's no such flat in the

1792
01:37:44.319 --> 01:37:44.920
whole building.

1793
01:37:55.520 --> 01:37:58.279
And that's the position I was in when the police

1794
01:37:58.279 --> 01:37:59.800
took us down to that palm garden.

1795
01:38:00.039 --> 01:38:00.680
See the body.

1796
01:38:01.840 --> 01:38:05.239
I never did like the palm garden much it's a big,

1797
01:38:05.359 --> 01:38:08.920
dimly lighted hollow of a place with bird cages beside

1798
01:38:08.960 --> 01:38:12.159
the palms and an artificial goldfish pond in the middle.

1799
01:38:13.199 --> 01:38:14.159
I liked it even less.

1800
01:38:14.159 --> 01:38:16.359
At three o'clock in the morning, with a dead man

1801
01:38:16.439 --> 01:38:19.399
looking at me from his chair, they sent us in

1802
01:38:19.439 --> 01:38:22.479
one at a time. I was first to see the

1803
01:38:22.560 --> 01:38:27.520
homicide squad officer, and there was Inspector Braddock, a big,

1804
01:38:27.560 --> 01:38:30.760
sleepy looking hulk with a hat like a pirate, sitting

1805
01:38:30.760 --> 01:38:34.720
on a bench throwing pebbles at that pond. Back would

1806
01:38:34.800 --> 01:38:36.640
go his arm and a pebble would hit the water.

1807
01:38:37.840 --> 01:38:40.000
Back would go his arm, and a pebble would hit

1808
01:38:40.039 --> 01:38:40.399
the water.

1809
01:38:43.119 --> 01:38:45.319
And that's all you got to tell me, mister Dunham.

1810
01:38:46.319 --> 01:38:48.880
That's all, Inspector. It happens to be true. Oh I

1811
01:38:49.000 --> 01:38:51.399
believe you. After all of a sudden, we've got corroboration.

1812
01:38:51.800 --> 01:38:53.159
Corroboration from whom.

1813
01:38:53.119 --> 01:38:55.239
From your other girlfriend, Fifi Latour.

1814
01:38:56.079 --> 01:38:57.600
He's not here. She ran out of here as soon

1815
01:38:57.600 --> 01:38:59.279
as Duroc's body fell through that door.

1816
01:39:00.079 --> 01:39:02.640
She didn't run far. Cop wondered why she was running

1817
01:39:02.640 --> 01:39:03.279
and brought her back.

1818
01:39:03.680 --> 01:39:04.520
Where's Heefy now?

1819
01:39:04.760 --> 01:39:08.680
In that room there talking to your official girlfriend Oh.

1820
01:39:08.640 --> 01:39:12.520
That's fine, that's beautiful. The one thing I didn't tell Anita,

1821
01:39:12.600 --> 01:39:13.760
Why don't you wake up?

1822
01:39:14.479 --> 01:39:14.960
Wake up?

1823
01:39:15.239 --> 01:39:17.680
How this isn't post office any longer. It is murder,

1824
01:39:18.159 --> 01:39:20.399
and one of that gang out there shot Pierre de Roc.

1825
01:39:21.520 --> 01:39:22.279
Are you serious?

1826
01:39:22.359 --> 01:39:25.720
Serious? Sure? I'm serious. This is as clever and slick

1827
01:39:25.760 --> 01:39:27.399
and mean a trick as ever went on the blotter.

1828
01:39:27.880 --> 01:39:30.239
Pierre de Roc was one of the goats you or

1829
01:39:30.239 --> 01:39:33.159
the other. His uncle yours is a fairly important guy,

1830
01:39:33.199 --> 01:39:34.720
isn't it. Wait a minute, just exactly what are you

1831
01:39:34.800 --> 01:39:36.760
saying about the old time. I'm saying he gets lots

1832
01:39:36.760 --> 01:39:40.039
of publicity. This hobby of his keeping dickeybirds must be

1833
01:39:40.039 --> 01:39:43.399
pretty well known. Yes, I suppose so. All right, So

1834
01:39:43.520 --> 01:39:44.880
if Duroc came to visit your.

1835
01:39:44.880 --> 01:39:47.720
Uncle tonight, you say, if Duroc came to visit my uncle,

1836
01:39:47.840 --> 01:39:50.840
what you're forgetting, son, is that Doroc's an important man too.

1837
01:39:51.199 --> 01:39:54.079
He's a visiting foreigner capital letters, and the Department's got

1838
01:39:54.119 --> 01:39:56.359
to keep an eye on him. Doroc did go to

1839
01:39:56.439 --> 01:39:59.479
visit your uncle tonight, and he was carrying twenty thousand

1840
01:39:59.520 --> 01:40:01.199
dollars in what are you animating?

1841
01:40:01.279 --> 01:40:02.800
Murder?

1842
01:40:03.439 --> 01:40:06.920
Yes, sergeant crowd out there's Racy Kaine, especially the old man.

1843
01:40:06.960 --> 01:40:08.520
I'm a French gown. I let him in.

1844
01:40:08.680 --> 01:40:10.159
Yeah, you can let him in now.

1845
01:40:12.520 --> 01:40:15.880
Now no more than an hour sitting in an ante

1846
01:40:16.000 --> 01:40:17.880
room without even hearing why we're here.

1847
01:40:18.279 --> 01:40:20.760
I'll tell you that Evans is intolerable.

1848
01:40:20.880 --> 01:40:23.279
It's all right, sir. They probably know what they're doing.

1849
01:40:23.640 --> 01:40:26.319
I think so, my friends. But I still don't know

1850
01:40:26.359 --> 01:40:27.239
why I'm here.

1851
01:40:27.439 --> 01:40:30.840
How very interesting, miss Latour to extreme ats in mindedness.

1852
01:40:31.640 --> 01:40:33.399
Perhaps wrong to tell you why you're here?

1853
01:40:33.760 --> 01:40:35.520
Listen, Anita, I can explain everything.

1854
01:40:35.560 --> 01:40:41.760
Can you explain the disappearing apartment? That's better. I'd like

1855
01:40:41.800 --> 01:40:43.720
if you don't mind to have a little quiet here.

1856
01:40:44.640 --> 01:40:46.439
Which one of you is, mister rufus Denham?

1857
01:40:46.560 --> 01:40:50.199
I am rufus Denham, Sir rufus Denham, of Delman Company.

1858
01:40:50.600 --> 01:40:52.399
Can there be any doubt whatever about that?

1859
01:40:52.800 --> 01:40:55.319
No, but I thought i'd ask. I was just telling

1860
01:40:55.399 --> 01:40:57.600
you or nephew, mister Dunham, that Pierre de Rock came

1861
01:40:57.640 --> 01:40:58.680
here tonight to see you.

1862
01:40:58.840 --> 01:41:00.720
You see me inspect thanks right.

1863
01:41:02.199 --> 01:41:05.119
I can only characterize that statement, sir, as a flat

1864
01:41:05.119 --> 01:41:06.239
and downright line.

1865
01:41:06.479 --> 01:41:08.800
I've never met that man. I didn't say you met him.

1866
01:41:08.920 --> 01:41:11.359
I said he came here to see you. Doroc wanted

1867
01:41:11.359 --> 01:41:12.359
to buy some property from you.

1868
01:41:12.479 --> 01:41:14.640
Didn't he? Well, I suppose he did.

1869
01:41:14.720 --> 01:41:18.560
And do Roc always paid spot cash, didn't he?

1870
01:41:18.800 --> 01:41:18.880
Is?

1871
01:41:18.960 --> 01:41:19.319
I believe?

1872
01:41:19.399 --> 01:41:23.399
So just one more question. I imagine you've got a secretary.

1873
01:41:23.720 --> 01:41:27.079
Yes, naturally, I've got a secretary, Miss Helen Gardner.

1874
01:41:27.479 --> 01:41:28.159
What about her?

1875
01:41:28.479 --> 01:41:32.039
Somebody posing as your secretary telephoned to Roc at the

1876
01:41:32.039 --> 01:41:34.640
Metropolis Hotel and spoke to him in very good.

1877
01:41:34.479 --> 01:41:38.079
Friends, how instector, don't stop there?

1878
01:41:38.119 --> 01:41:38.399
Go on?

1879
01:41:38.880 --> 01:41:42.399
This person pretending to represent Rufus Dunham asked a Roc

1880
01:41:42.479 --> 01:41:44.439
to come here with the money and said they could

1881
01:41:44.439 --> 01:41:47.199
settle the deal immediately. Don't you see the trick now?

1882
01:41:47.720 --> 01:41:50.199
Don't you see? De Roc was jured into a dummy apartment.

1883
01:41:50.279 --> 01:41:53.159
At the apartment, what does the man mean?

1884
01:41:53.560 --> 01:41:56.760
I'll tell you all the flats are furnished exactly alike,

1885
01:41:56.800 --> 01:42:01.079
except for personal things, pictures, books, slampshape his ornaments. Is

1886
01:42:01.119 --> 01:42:01.680
that correct?

1887
01:42:01.960 --> 01:42:02.920
Yes, of course it is.

1888
01:42:03.119 --> 01:42:06.479
The murderer didn't dare use Rufus Dunham's real flat, But

1889
01:42:06.520 --> 01:42:10.000
the murderer could always decorate an imitation flat so that

1890
01:42:10.039 --> 01:42:12.359
Pierre de Rock would be deceived. When he saw five

1891
01:42:12.840 --> 01:42:15.880
birds that said son, But what was the idea? A

1892
01:42:16.000 --> 01:42:18.840
very neat swindle. Look at the rock's body.

1893
01:42:18.520 --> 01:42:20.439
Now, Oh, I can't look at it.

1894
01:42:20.520 --> 01:42:23.239
Look out his thick glasses. The man was half blind.

1895
01:42:24.000 --> 01:42:26.880
The so called secretary disguised would meet the rock in

1896
01:42:26.920 --> 01:42:29.840
an imitation flat. The rock would hand over the money

1897
01:42:29.840 --> 01:42:33.000
and get forged title deeds in return. When the rock

1898
01:42:33.079 --> 01:42:35.439
had gone, the flat could be put right again and

1899
01:42:35.760 --> 01:42:39.920
no evidence left. But something went wrong, That's right, something

1900
01:42:39.960 --> 01:42:42.800
went wrong. The rock suspected it had to be killed

1901
01:42:42.880 --> 01:42:43.760
right again.

1902
01:42:43.880 --> 01:42:46.319
Inspector Braddock, who is the murderer?

1903
01:42:46.640 --> 01:42:48.920
Can't you guess?

1904
01:42:48.520 --> 01:42:48.560
No?

1905
01:42:49.279 --> 01:42:51.119
I think I know how it all happened.

1906
01:42:51.239 --> 01:42:52.079
Do you miss the tour?

1907
01:42:52.199 --> 01:42:53.279
Who's very smart of you?

1908
01:42:53.840 --> 01:42:56.479
Is this poor running of mine? He is at a

1909
01:42:56.600 --> 01:42:57.479
bachelor party.

1910
01:42:58.000 --> 01:42:59.880
They do not think that he will be home and

1911
01:43:00.079 --> 01:43:03.760
till daylight, But he get reformed and come home early.

1912
01:43:04.239 --> 01:43:06.880
He plunged a straight into that flag in time.

1913
01:43:06.680 --> 01:43:10.159
To interhart, in time to interrupt the murder. Yes, afterwards,

1914
01:43:10.159 --> 01:43:12.000
when you were supposed to run.

1915
01:43:11.880 --> 01:43:14.560
Away, But I did run away, sure, mister Letore, I'm

1916
01:43:14.560 --> 01:43:15.279
admitting you did.

1917
01:43:15.479 --> 01:43:17.319
Then why do you look at me as though I didn't?

1918
01:43:17.359 --> 01:43:19.680
Afterwards? As I was saying the murderer had to hit

1919
01:43:19.760 --> 01:43:21.600
Ronald Dunham over the head and drag him out in

1920
01:43:21.600 --> 01:43:24.399
the hall. The rock's body was brought down here, along

1921
01:43:24.399 --> 01:43:26.479
with the canary cages that had been borrowed from here,

1922
01:43:26.720 --> 01:43:30.239
and the dummy flat was set right again just one moment,

1923
01:43:30.359 --> 01:43:34.960
Inspector Radiga. I'm not disputing anything you say, but well soon,

1924
01:43:35.000 --> 01:43:35.760
what's on your mind?

1925
01:43:36.039 --> 01:43:36.800
The murderer?

1926
01:43:36.920 --> 01:43:38.000
What about the murderer?

1927
01:43:38.079 --> 01:43:41.560
Well, all this, sir, wouldn't it have been much too

1928
01:43:41.600 --> 01:43:44.000
heavy a job for a woman who said the murderer

1929
01:43:44.039 --> 01:43:44.479
was a woman?

1930
01:43:44.760 --> 01:43:45.399
Well didn't you?

1931
01:43:45.680 --> 01:43:48.279
I don't think I did. I said the murderer was

1932
01:43:48.319 --> 01:43:51.239
somebody who planned to swindle. And you still don't see it,

1933
01:43:51.279 --> 01:43:53.640
any of you, because you can't find the dummy flat.

1934
01:43:53.800 --> 01:43:56.760
No, I can't find it myself. That's one question you've

1935
01:43:56.760 --> 01:43:59.159
got to answer here and now. Where in Satan's name.

1936
01:43:59.039 --> 01:43:59.600
Did I go?

1937
01:44:00.039 --> 01:44:00.600
Who's flat?

1938
01:44:00.640 --> 01:44:01.920
Was I? In your own?

1939
01:44:03.520 --> 01:44:04.039
My own?

1940
01:44:04.520 --> 01:44:07.720
Naturally you'd been cold, sober, you might have made a mistake,

1941
01:44:08.159 --> 01:44:10.600
but your instinct brought you home to your own flat.

1942
01:44:11.000 --> 01:44:13.439
And the only possible murderer is the man who shares

1943
01:44:13.479 --> 01:44:15.680
that flat with you, the man who thought you'd be

1944
01:44:15.720 --> 01:44:18.600
away until daylight. The man who knows enough about Dunham's

1945
01:44:18.600 --> 01:44:21.039
business affairs to plan this swindle against the Rock look

1946
01:44:21.079 --> 01:44:28.399
Out inspector grabbing trageant Thomas Evans, I arrest you for

1947
01:44:28.479 --> 01:44:29.800
the murder of Pierre de Rock.

1948
01:44:31.039 --> 01:44:41.680
Good Lord, heavens. Well, that's about all there is to

1949
01:44:41.720 --> 01:44:42.239
the story.

1950
01:44:42.880 --> 01:44:44.640
Anita and I were married last week.

1951
01:44:45.279 --> 01:44:46.279
She's a wonderful girl.

1952
01:44:47.279 --> 01:44:49.199
I tried to talk her into our staying on in

1953
01:44:49.239 --> 01:44:52.159
my old flat, but she said she just had to

1954
01:44:52.159 --> 01:44:55.119
have an apartment which didn't have such a habit of disappearing.

1955
01:44:56.199 --> 01:44:59.680
But we're very happy. We agree about everything, don't We did.

1956
01:45:00.039 --> 01:45:03.199
Practically everything, darling. But I still don't think it was

1957
01:45:03.279 --> 01:45:05.720
cute of thief to stand up three dozen canaries for

1958
01:45:05.800 --> 01:45:06.640
a wedding choice, and.

1959
01:45:20.800 --> 01:45:24.039
So closes Five Canaries in the Room, starring Ona Munson,

1960
01:45:24.119 --> 01:45:29.239
Lee Bowman and Osa Madson Tonight's Tale of Suspense, This

1961
01:45:29.359 --> 01:45:31.760
is your narrator, the man in black who conveys to

1962
01:45:31.800 --> 01:45:34.840
you Columbia's invitation to spend this half hour in suspense

1963
01:45:34.880 --> 01:45:38.600
with us again next Tuesday, when Alsi's Plenty play will

1964
01:45:38.600 --> 01:45:42.960
be Last Night by Cornell Woolrich, and we'll star more of.

1965
01:45:42.920 --> 01:45:44.119
Your Hollywood favorites.

1966
01:45:46.199 --> 01:45:49.920
The producer of these broadcasts is William Spear, with Ted Bliss,

1967
01:45:49.920 --> 01:45:53.560
the director, lud Gluskin and Lucian Morrowick conductor and composer,

1968
01:45:54.119 --> 01:45:59.399
and John Dixon Carr, the author, collaborated on tonight's suspense.

1969
01:46:00.560 --> 01:46:23.119
There's a CBS, the Columbia Broadcasting System.

1970
01:46:23.159 --> 01:46:30.119
My dear, My dear, the night has grown well, it's

1971
01:46:30.199 --> 01:46:34.840
grown old. But I suppose there's time for one more

1972
01:46:35.720 --> 01:46:41.119
before you depart me and head back to your joyful

1973
01:46:41.279 --> 01:46:41.920
little life.

1974
01:46:43.119 --> 01:46:43.279
Hm.

1975
01:46:43.359 --> 01:46:43.439
Hm.

1976
01:46:44.520 --> 01:46:52.439
But what could there be? What could truly bring fear

1977
01:46:52.640 --> 01:47:00.199
and uncertainty mm in a life as easy going in fun.

1978
01:47:00.920 --> 01:47:04.199
I suppose it would be the other woman.

1979
01:47:05.720 --> 01:47:08.680
Wait a minute, have you heard the strange tales of

1980
01:47:08.720 --> 01:47:09.279
the Whistler.

1981
01:47:26.239 --> 01:47:27.560
I'm the whistler.

1982
01:47:33.479 --> 01:47:36.239
I refuse to accept the responsibility of the failure of

1983
01:47:36.279 --> 01:47:40.119
our marriage. I know who caused it, and I know

1984
01:47:40.239 --> 01:47:43.600
who she is. I refuse to give you up to hers.

1985
01:47:44.800 --> 01:47:48.119
So I have made a decision.

1986
01:47:51.720 --> 01:47:55.359
Another Sunday night, and again CBS presents the Whistler.

1987
01:48:02.359 --> 01:48:06.479
I the whistler, know many things, for I walk by night.

1988
01:48:07.199 --> 01:48:10.560
I know many strange tales, many secrets hidden in the hearts,

1989
01:48:10.560 --> 01:48:13.359
of men and women who have stepped into the shadows,

1990
01:48:14.159 --> 01:48:16.960
and so I tell you tonight, the unusual story of

1991
01:48:17.800 --> 01:48:23.560
the other Woman. Olivia Martin paces the floor of her bedroom.

1992
01:48:24.000 --> 01:48:27.239
She's been pacing for hours, and it is now long

1993
01:48:27.399 --> 01:48:31.159
past midnight. Her husband, Fred Martin, did not come home

1994
01:48:31.199 --> 01:48:35.479
to dinner. He was detained at his office on business.

1995
01:48:35.119 --> 01:48:35.920
So he said.

1996
01:48:36.800 --> 01:48:39.640
But Olivia knows that it isn't his advertising business that

1997
01:48:39.720 --> 01:48:42.600
attains him. And she knows too that tonight will be

1998
01:48:42.640 --> 01:48:45.920
the climax and the final crash of their marriage, the

1999
01:48:46.079 --> 01:48:49.159
end of everything for Olivia. She knows what Fred is

2000
01:48:49.199 --> 01:48:52.039
going to say tonight. For months she has been fearful

2001
01:48:52.039 --> 01:48:54.600
of this moment, and now it has come.

2002
01:48:56.560 --> 01:48:58.159
Olivia, you're awake.

2003
01:48:58.920 --> 01:49:02.640
Yes, h I thought you might be asleep.

2004
01:49:03.279 --> 01:49:05.840
How could I sleep? You know better than that.

2005
01:49:06.760 --> 01:49:10.680
It's one o'clock, isn't it. Yes, I didn't realize it

2006
01:49:10.680 --> 01:49:11.159
was that Lately.

2007
01:49:11.880 --> 01:49:15.760
You don't usually bother to see if I'm awake. For

2008
01:49:15.840 --> 01:49:18.560
the past two months you passed right onto your own room.

2009
01:49:19.119 --> 01:49:22.039
Yes, yes, I guess I haven't.

2010
01:49:21.960 --> 01:49:23.119
Get your business settled.

2011
01:49:23.560 --> 01:49:25.800
Yes, yes, I had quite a bit to attend.

2012
01:49:25.560 --> 01:49:27.000
To have dinner at the club.

2013
01:49:28.399 --> 01:49:30.079
Oh, yes, at the club.

2014
01:49:31.239 --> 01:49:35.239
Then why didn't you answer my call? I had you paged?

2015
01:49:35.960 --> 01:49:37.680
They said you hadn't been there this evening.

2016
01:49:37.880 --> 01:49:42.600
Oh, perhaps I hadn't arrived dinner. Really, what did you want?

2017
01:49:43.399 --> 01:49:44.439
I don't know.

2018
01:49:44.479 --> 01:49:47.199
I don't remember now what I called you?

2019
01:49:47.239 --> 01:49:51.760
See, well, I don't turning?

2020
01:49:52.439 --> 01:49:53.840
Then why don't you say it?

2021
01:49:54.079 --> 01:49:54.399
Say what?

2022
01:49:54.800 --> 01:49:55.920
But you came here to say?

2023
01:49:56.560 --> 01:49:58.399
Do you think I had anything particular to say?

2024
01:49:58.520 --> 01:50:02.239
I don't know how, But I've known all evening you

2025
01:50:02.239 --> 01:50:03.520
were planning to tell me something.

2026
01:50:03.319 --> 01:50:03.920
When you got here.

2027
01:50:04.000 --> 01:50:06.640
Oh that's not no, Fred, I've known for months this

2028
01:50:06.760 --> 01:50:10.039
is coming. I know what sort of business at change?

2029
01:50:10.079 --> 01:50:11.960
You another woman?

2030
01:50:12.720 --> 01:50:14.359
What first?

2031
01:50:14.399 --> 01:50:15.000
I believed you.

2032
01:50:16.199 --> 01:50:19.039
As the weeks passed and I realized you were going colder,

2033
01:50:19.800 --> 01:50:23.199
the whole thing became clear to me, and I knew

2034
01:50:23.199 --> 01:50:25.680
you were evading me, that you were lying about those

2035
01:50:25.680 --> 01:50:26.800
business appointments at night.

2036
01:50:27.399 --> 01:50:27.680
Go on.

2037
01:50:28.000 --> 01:50:30.800
We've been married ten years. Fred, I've done everything humanly

2038
01:50:30.840 --> 01:50:33.720
possible to make our marriage of success. I think I have,

2039
01:50:33.840 --> 01:50:34.800
at least I have tried.

2040
01:50:34.920 --> 01:50:37.119
That's your opinion, a living Why didn't.

2041
01:50:36.880 --> 01:50:39.000
You come right out and tell me about this woman

2042
01:50:39.000 --> 01:50:39.800
at the very beginning?

2043
01:50:39.840 --> 01:50:40.399
Why should I?

2044
01:50:41.039 --> 01:50:46.359
Oh, I've tried not to believe.

2045
01:50:46.600 --> 01:50:48.239
Oh, let's not have a scene, Olivia.

2046
01:50:48.359 --> 01:50:50.079
Would you expect me to do at all?

2047
01:50:50.439 --> 01:50:50.800
No?

2048
01:50:50.880 --> 01:50:52.560
Not you, Olivia, certainly not you.

2049
01:50:53.079 --> 01:50:55.199
I suppose you'll say it's all my fault. I am

2050
01:50:55.239 --> 01:50:58.680
to blame for everything. It's well, isn't that what you're

2051
01:50:58.680 --> 01:51:00.800
trying to say? I haven't Suddenly, then why don't you

2052
01:51:00.880 --> 01:51:01.479
say something?

2053
01:51:01.800 --> 01:51:02.920
Why do you beat about the push?

2054
01:51:02.920 --> 01:51:03.880
You can here to say something?

2055
01:51:03.960 --> 01:51:05.439
Say it very well that you put it that way.

2056
01:51:05.479 --> 01:51:05.840
I will.

2057
01:51:06.520 --> 01:51:09.239
I'm going out of town tomorrow business. I'm sending my

2058
01:51:09.279 --> 01:51:11.479
things to the club. When I return, I intend to

2059
01:51:11.520 --> 01:51:14.039
live there. Wait a minute, Olivia, I haven't finished yet.

2060
01:51:15.279 --> 01:51:17.479
I want you to get a divorce on any ground

2061
01:51:17.520 --> 01:51:21.479
you please, desertion or whatever you wish divorce?

2062
01:51:22.439 --> 01:51:23.000
Do you mean that?

2063
01:51:23.680 --> 01:51:24.079
I do.

2064
01:51:25.920 --> 01:51:29.760
Very well, that's the way you want it. There's nothing

2065
01:51:29.760 --> 01:51:30.680
else I can do.

2066
01:51:30.840 --> 01:51:44.800
No, Olivia, nothing. Good night. So Olivia solves herself to sleep.

2067
01:51:45.680 --> 01:51:48.680
When morning comes, she finds bread gone and his thing's

2068
01:51:48.720 --> 01:51:53.199
already sent for the club. All day she wanders aimlessly.

2069
01:51:52.720 --> 01:51:54.680
About the house like a lost soul.

2070
01:51:55.920 --> 01:51:58.560
Then, as night falls and her loneliness increases, she has

2071
01:51:58.600 --> 01:52:03.079
seemed to the horrible feeling of hopelessness. A strange depression

2072
01:52:03.159 --> 01:52:05.319
comes over her, and she sits down at the desk

2073
01:52:05.359 --> 01:52:09.079
and writes a note Fred.

2074
01:52:09.560 --> 01:52:12.119
The very thought of losing you, the thought of divorce,

2075
01:52:12.840 --> 01:52:14.600
the thought of giving you up for another woman, is

2076
01:52:14.640 --> 01:52:18.000
more than I can bear. The shame, the disgrace, the

2077
01:52:18.039 --> 01:52:21.279
scandal of it all, would, I know, drive me insane.

2078
01:52:21.920 --> 01:52:24.640
Regardless of what you may think, I refuse to accept

2079
01:52:24.640 --> 01:52:27.600
the responsibility of the favor of our marriage. I know

2080
01:52:27.680 --> 01:52:31.159
who caused it, and I know who she is. You'd

2081
01:52:31.199 --> 01:52:33.239
never be happy with a woman of her type. You'll

2082
01:52:33.279 --> 01:52:35.640
be throwing your life away. I refuse to give you

2083
01:52:35.720 --> 01:52:48.800
up to her. So I have made a decision. Goodbye, Fred, Olivia.

2084
01:52:44.520 --> 01:52:53.479
Olivia addresses the note of Fred at his club, steps

2085
01:52:53.560 --> 01:52:55.640
out and drops it in the newest mail box.

2086
01:52:56.720 --> 01:52:59.039
She wanders about for a while, then.

2087
01:52:59.039 --> 01:53:02.000
Returns to the end the house, takes the sleeping tablets,

2088
01:53:02.000 --> 01:53:06.800
and goes to bed. Then the next morning, at Fred's office, Dora's,

2089
01:53:06.880 --> 01:53:09.640
Fred's private secretary is going over some teething.

2090
01:53:13.279 --> 01:53:18.680
Yes very well, plea on Hello, Yes, mister Goldberg, this

2091
01:53:18.760 --> 01:53:20.600
is doors Hammond. Mister Martin's out of town for a

2092
01:53:20.640 --> 01:53:24.640
few days. Yes well, Miss Bartow is head of the

2093
01:53:24.720 --> 01:53:32.479
art department. I'll have her check on it right away. Yes, yeah, goodbye, Yes,

2094
01:53:32.840 --> 01:53:34.840
tell Rita Bartow to come in here, Pete. Miss barn

2095
01:53:35.000 --> 01:53:36.800
wasn't coming in today. She's staying home.

2096
01:53:37.000 --> 01:53:37.800
Has a bad coat.

2097
01:53:38.119 --> 01:53:40.319
I see, well, we'll send Jack Mallory in then.

2098
01:53:40.479 --> 01:53:46.439
Yes to Hammond, do you want to see me miss Hammon?

2099
01:53:46.520 --> 01:53:46.600
Oh?

2100
01:53:46.680 --> 01:53:49.199
Yes, Jack, I understand Rita's ill isn't coming in today.

2101
01:53:49.359 --> 01:53:50.039
No, I guess not.

2102
01:53:50.239 --> 01:53:50.479
Well.

2103
01:53:50.520 --> 01:53:53.079
Mister Goldberg over at Lake Laboratories wants to know which

2104
01:53:53.239 --> 01:53:54.479
ed she intended to run next week.

2105
01:53:55.079 --> 01:53:56.399
Only Rita knows about that.

2106
01:53:56.600 --> 01:53:58.600
Perhaps we better send them over to Rita's apartment and

2107
01:53:58.640 --> 01:54:00.000
have her select the one she wants to use.

2108
01:54:00.119 --> 01:54:02.399
You very well, who shall I send?

2109
01:54:03.960 --> 01:54:05.960
Well, I don't know of anyone who'd rather go on

2110
01:54:06.039 --> 01:54:07.079
that errand than you. Jack.

2111
01:54:07.760 --> 01:54:09.840
Well, I'll go if you insist.

2112
01:54:10.039 --> 01:54:12.720
I don't think I have to insist, especially where Rita

2113
01:54:12.800 --> 01:54:13.399
is concerned.

2114
01:54:13.960 --> 01:54:15.800
All right, I'll run over there.

2115
01:54:15.920 --> 01:54:16.680
I thought you would.

2116
01:54:16.960 --> 01:54:18.600
Thanks to see you later.

2117
01:54:29.960 --> 01:54:33.399
Hello, Rida, this is Doris Hammond. Yes, how do you

2118
01:54:33.439 --> 01:54:36.640
feel a fair good? Mister Goldberg wants to know which

2119
01:54:36.640 --> 01:54:39.279
ad you're selected for next week. I'm sending Jack Mallory

2120
01:54:39.279 --> 01:54:40.840
over with the layout. He should be there in a

2121
01:54:40.840 --> 01:54:43.840
short while. Very well, I forgotten which it was and

2122
01:54:43.920 --> 01:54:46.319
send Jack back as soon as possible. You'll hang around

2123
01:54:46.319 --> 01:54:48.560
all day. If you don't, I will don't worry.

2124
01:54:48.640 --> 01:55:05.399
Good Bye, bye, Hello, Reda. How do you feel?

2125
01:55:05.520 --> 01:55:05.800
Oh?

2126
01:55:06.359 --> 01:55:09.600
All right, Joe, didn't feel like coming to your office today.

2127
01:55:10.000 --> 01:55:11.279
I thought you had a bad cold.

2128
01:55:11.399 --> 01:55:13.960
No, not too bad. I'll be all right tomorrow.

2129
01:55:14.560 --> 01:55:17.000
Mister Goldberg wants you to select the layout for the

2130
01:55:17.039 --> 01:55:19.720
next week. Here they are, Which do you want?

2131
01:55:20.359 --> 01:55:20.600
Well?

2132
01:55:21.359 --> 01:55:24.560
I planned on this one, but I think you should

2133
01:55:24.640 --> 01:55:26.079
make this section in red.

2134
01:55:26.399 --> 01:55:28.680
Oh, I see that's easy. I'll fix it up in

2135
01:55:28.680 --> 01:55:29.159
the jiffy.

2136
01:55:29.479 --> 01:55:30.720
Danny's out better this way.

2137
01:55:31.399 --> 01:55:33.000
Well, here was this one for the week following.

2138
01:55:33.119 --> 01:55:38.600
Okay, you look mighty lovely, Reda three. Where were you

2139
01:55:38.640 --> 01:55:39.600
going all that stuff?

2140
01:55:40.000 --> 01:55:41.520
I've got to go out of town this afternoon. On

2141
01:55:41.560 --> 01:55:44.560
that to Henderson deal. I wanted to put it off

2142
01:55:44.600 --> 01:55:46.800
until next week, but mister Martin insisted that I get

2143
01:55:46.800 --> 01:55:49.159
it settled as im as possible. I'll be back on

2144
01:55:49.239 --> 01:55:50.319
the afternoon playing tomorrow.

2145
01:55:50.640 --> 01:55:52.520
You shouldn't be running around too much, darling.

2146
01:55:53.000 --> 01:55:55.399
I don't really have a cold. That's fineness.

2147
01:55:55.479 --> 01:55:56.960
You've got a lot of trouble with that in the

2148
01:55:57.000 --> 01:55:57.680
past year or so.

2149
01:55:58.119 --> 01:56:01.840
Yes, there's nothing much commit about it, I guess, Thank heavens,

2150
01:56:01.880 --> 01:56:02.960
it only strikes me in winter.

2151
01:56:04.079 --> 01:56:07.159
Why don't you try a change of climate, reader, change

2152
01:56:07.199 --> 01:56:07.720
of climate?

2153
01:56:08.560 --> 01:56:11.840
I should think you'd like California. I've always wanted to

2154
01:56:11.840 --> 01:56:14.840
go there. I've had an idea that I could do

2155
01:56:14.960 --> 01:56:18.159
very well, nice jobs in the movie art departments.

2156
01:56:18.520 --> 01:56:19.680
I'm not interested in the movie.

2157
01:56:20.359 --> 01:56:23.880
I thought about going out there and settling down, buying

2158
01:56:23.880 --> 01:56:26.600
a nice little home, and really enjoying life.

2159
01:56:27.079 --> 01:56:30.159
Why should a bachelor do all that? You have ideas

2160
01:56:30.159 --> 01:56:31.159
about getting married? Jack?

2161
01:56:32.600 --> 01:56:36.000
Yes, yes, I have everything good.

2162
01:56:36.399 --> 01:56:37.119
I'm glad to hear it.

2163
01:56:38.479 --> 01:56:39.600
What time does your plane leave?

2164
01:56:39.920 --> 01:56:40.119
Two?

2165
01:56:41.279 --> 01:56:42.960
How about little lunch while you're waiting something?

2166
01:56:43.039 --> 01:56:43.279
Want?

2167
01:56:43.600 --> 01:56:44.119
No, you will.

2168
01:56:44.359 --> 01:56:46.159
I'll leave your bag here. We'll pick it up later.

2169
01:56:46.359 --> 01:56:46.760
All right.

2170
01:56:47.520 --> 01:56:50.079
I've got something important to talk to you about.

2171
01:56:50.079 --> 01:56:51.359
Reading important.

2172
01:56:51.680 --> 01:56:54.800
Yeah, I got a nice braise this week.

2173
01:56:55.000 --> 01:56:56.800
That's fine, Jack, I want to.

2174
01:56:56.800 --> 01:57:02.279
Ask you a questions about you and me. Go ahead, No, no,

2175
01:57:02.279 --> 01:57:04.840
not now, come on, we'll talk about it during lunch.

2176
01:57:13.439 --> 01:57:17.600
Meanwhile, Olivia Martin, having made the decision and formulated a plan,

2177
01:57:18.319 --> 01:57:20.760
visits her husband's office and calls on Dallas.

2178
01:57:21.039 --> 01:57:24.680
This tetricay, good afternoon, miss Hammond.

2179
01:57:24.840 --> 01:57:28.319
Oh how hard are you doing, missus Martin? How were

2180
01:57:28.479 --> 01:57:30.359
just going out to lunch? Would you join me?

2181
01:57:30.479 --> 01:57:32.680
I'm sign as harmon. I'm afraid I haven't time. I'm

2182
01:57:32.720 --> 01:57:34.600
another hurry. I have a number of things to know

2183
01:57:34.720 --> 01:57:35.359
this afternoon.

2184
01:57:35.560 --> 01:57:36.239
Can I help you?

2185
01:57:36.600 --> 01:57:37.680
I suppose you're quite.

2186
01:57:37.479 --> 01:57:39.880
Busy as Yes, my work is always double when Fred

2187
01:57:39.960 --> 01:57:41.159
Ley's down Fred.

2188
01:57:42.640 --> 01:57:45.600
Yes, mister Martin, oh, my husband.

2189
01:57:45.760 --> 01:57:47.880
I further, it does seem strange for an employee to

2190
01:57:47.960 --> 01:57:50.800
call him Fred. But for some reason, I've gotten into

2191
01:57:50.800 --> 01:57:53.199
the habit and this can't seem to break it. He

2192
01:57:53.239 --> 01:57:54.680
doesn't need the mind, however.

2193
01:57:54.600 --> 01:57:58.840
That's so I can imagine he wouldn't, after all, your like, well,

2194
01:57:59.039 --> 01:58:00.760
like one of the family in this ham.

2195
01:58:01.399 --> 01:58:03.119
Yes, I've been here for two years.

2196
01:58:03.359 --> 01:58:05.520
You've been, said private secretary for how long?

2197
01:58:05.560 --> 01:58:05.720
Now?

2198
01:58:05.960 --> 01:58:09.239
Almost a year? It doesn't seem that long pleasants work,

2199
01:58:09.319 --> 01:58:12.039
isn't it most interesting? You have no idea how distorbing

2200
01:58:12.079 --> 01:58:13.439
this business can be, missus Martin.

2201
01:58:13.880 --> 01:58:15.760
But I realized it must have a certain amount of

2202
01:58:15.800 --> 01:58:17.000
extremely interesting moments.

2203
01:58:18.239 --> 01:58:20.039
I think you should come around more often.

2204
01:58:19.840 --> 01:58:20.399
Missus Monty.

2205
01:58:20.640 --> 01:58:21.600
How right you are?

2206
01:58:22.119 --> 01:58:27.640
Things might have been different different. Yeah, I mean if

2207
01:58:27.760 --> 01:58:29.119
I had taken an.

2208
01:58:29.000 --> 01:58:33.119
Active interest in the business. Well, at times that gets

2209
01:58:33.199 --> 01:58:33.640
rather doll.

2210
01:58:33.760 --> 01:58:36.439
Waiting at home set me on long evenings when your

2211
01:58:36.479 --> 01:58:38.439
husband has to stay in powerl on business.

2212
01:58:38.640 --> 01:58:41.159
I suppose it is rather a doll under those conditions.

2213
01:58:41.520 --> 01:58:44.920
Yeah, that I m can take up the time with

2214
01:58:45.039 --> 01:58:47.399
personal problems. I want you to have a check drawn

2215
01:58:47.479 --> 01:58:48.600
for me for five hundred dollars.

2216
01:58:48.760 --> 01:58:50.039
Very well, I'll attend to it at once.

2217
01:58:51.800 --> 01:58:53.399
Have you heard and spread thinking left?

2218
01:58:53.680 --> 01:58:54.560
No? I haven't.

2219
01:58:55.359 --> 01:58:56.439
He phoned me this morning?

2220
01:58:56.800 --> 01:58:57.119
You did.

2221
01:58:57.479 --> 01:58:59.920
Yeah, he's an important paper at home and he knew

2222
01:59:00.000 --> 01:59:02.279
I was flying to Detroit tonight to visit my relatives.

2223
01:59:02.640 --> 01:59:04.279
So he wants me to drop it off on the

2224
01:59:04.319 --> 01:59:07.199
Buffalo Buffalo. I thought he was in Boston.

2225
01:59:08.520 --> 01:59:11.720
Yes he was, but he had to rush over to Buffalo.

2226
01:59:11.920 --> 01:59:14.279
Some unexpected business came up and he says.

2227
01:59:14.000 --> 01:59:15.239
He needs you very badly.

2228
01:59:15.520 --> 01:59:17.159
He wants me to come to Buffalo.

2229
01:59:17.399 --> 01:59:19.920
Yes, I told him I notify you and bring you

2230
01:59:19.960 --> 01:59:22.640
with me. I believe in the airport about five thirty.

2231
01:59:23.000 --> 01:59:24.640
Can you meet me there or shall I pick you

2232
01:59:24.720 --> 01:59:25.039
up here.

2233
01:59:25.159 --> 01:59:27.720
Well, i'll meet you at the airport. I'll have to

2234
01:59:27.800 --> 01:59:30.199
run home for a few minutes. Is there anything in

2235
01:59:30.199 --> 01:59:31.399
particular he wants me to bring.

2236
01:59:31.760 --> 01:59:33.920
No, nothing with the taper he left at home.

2237
01:59:34.279 --> 01:59:36.039
Very well, I'll be at the airporter on five.

2238
01:59:36.560 --> 01:59:38.199
Do you mind flying with him?

2239
01:59:38.479 --> 01:59:39.239
No, no at all.

2240
01:59:39.640 --> 01:59:40.199
It's good.

2241
01:59:40.760 --> 01:59:43.199
I played as a small cabin. John might be a

2242
01:59:43.239 --> 01:59:46.520
little bumpy, but I'm rather a good pilot.

2243
01:59:46.920 --> 01:59:47.399
I'll see you.

2244
01:59:47.399 --> 01:59:47.800
What's five?

2245
01:59:58.279 --> 02:00:04.640
Shortly afternoon rain begin around him. The storm becomes heavier.

2246
02:00:05.640 --> 02:00:08.119
Then Jack with turn Jack Merray. Where on earth to

2247
02:00:08.159 --> 02:00:09.399
do Ben? Do you know what time it is?

2248
02:00:09.560 --> 02:00:12.640
Yes, I'm sorry. I got to talking and didn't realize

2249
02:00:12.680 --> 02:00:12.960
they are.

2250
02:00:13.039 --> 02:00:14.800
But what about the layout? Did we the sellect one?

2251
02:00:14.920 --> 02:00:17.399
Yeah? This one? She made a couple of changes in it.

2252
02:00:17.479 --> 02:00:18.960
So what changed?

2253
02:00:19.079 --> 02:00:19.279
Oh?

2254
02:00:19.439 --> 02:00:22.680
Nothing important. Just one of this section set up in red,

2255
02:00:23.119 --> 02:00:23.880
stands out better.

2256
02:00:25.119 --> 02:00:26.119
Yeah, so it does.

2257
02:00:26.880 --> 02:00:30.600
Well, I'd better put it through right away. I'm sorry

2258
02:00:30.640 --> 02:00:31.560
to have been so late with it.

2259
02:00:31.640 --> 02:00:33.520
I'm glad you got back with it before I left.

2260
02:00:34.119 --> 02:00:37.319
Left. Where were you going, mister Martin phone?

2261
02:00:37.399 --> 02:00:39.600
He wants me to join him in Buffalo. Something important

2262
02:00:39.600 --> 02:00:40.880
to come up Buffalo?

2263
02:00:42.039 --> 02:00:43.119
I thought he was in Boston.

2264
02:00:43.319 --> 02:00:44.680
He had to run over there in a hurry.

2265
02:00:45.319 --> 02:00:51.039
Buffalo strange with strange huh? Oh?

2266
02:00:51.039 --> 02:00:53.199
Oh, well, I mean he's being in Buffalo.

2267
02:00:53.600 --> 02:00:54.560
What's strange about it?

2268
02:00:55.119 --> 02:00:58.560
Oh, I don't know. I suppose he could be in Buffalo.

2269
02:00:59.199 --> 02:00:59.640
Were with you?

2270
02:00:59.760 --> 02:01:00.000
Jack?

2271
02:01:00.359 --> 02:01:02.399
Why? Or nothing? Nothing wrong?

2272
02:01:03.119 --> 02:01:03.800
Lean over here?

2273
02:01:04.000 --> 02:01:06.159
Why? Why?

2274
02:01:06.520 --> 02:01:07.319
A little closet?

2275
02:01:08.800 --> 02:01:09.039
Hmm?

2276
02:01:09.840 --> 02:01:10.399
What's the matter?

2277
02:01:10.880 --> 02:01:15.239
Well of all things, and how I've seen everything? You

2278
02:01:15.399 --> 02:01:16.399
actually had a drink?

2279
02:01:16.680 --> 02:01:17.800
You and old people?

2280
02:01:18.199 --> 02:01:21.000
Well, I I don't approve of it as a rule,

2281
02:01:21.560 --> 02:01:24.159
but I walked back from Rita's place, and I got

2282
02:01:24.199 --> 02:01:25.960
my feet a little wet in the rain, felt kind

2283
02:01:25.960 --> 02:01:29.199
of chilly, afraid of was catching cold.

2284
02:01:29.239 --> 02:01:31.319
So I dropped in at the bar on the way

2285
02:01:31.359 --> 02:01:32.119
back and had a drink.

2286
02:01:32.199 --> 02:01:33.520
Oh, I hope you don't get sick.

2287
02:01:33.800 --> 02:01:34.720
Can't afford to have you and.

2288
02:01:34.760 --> 02:01:35.439
Rita both out.

2289
02:01:35.640 --> 02:01:37.560
Oh that's right. A lot of work to be done

2290
02:01:37.560 --> 02:01:37.880
this week.

2291
02:01:37.880 --> 02:01:39.960
I'm here to take all that top coat. It's damn

2292
02:01:40.119 --> 02:01:42.119
Let me have it now, hang it over the radiator.

2293
02:01:43.840 --> 02:01:46.880
Well, what's wrong on earth?

2294
02:01:46.920 --> 02:01:47.439
Did you do this?

2295
02:01:47.600 --> 02:01:49.079
You stilled ink on the front of your coat?

2296
02:01:49.880 --> 02:01:54.239
Yes, well, what do you know? Fine thing? I just

2297
02:01:54.279 --> 02:01:55.119
got it yesterday.

2298
02:01:56.039 --> 02:01:57.680
I must have done that over at radas when I

2299
02:01:58.000 --> 02:02:00.640
blocked that section and read as soon as.

2300
02:02:00.560 --> 02:02:03.680
Possible, haven many a towel from that closet and dampen it, or.

2301
02:02:03.680 --> 02:02:06.039
Don't bother dos, I'll let it clean the mom.

2302
02:02:06.000 --> 02:02:11.359
Get some of it out now, thanks's me hard to

2303
02:02:11.399 --> 02:02:11.840
get off.

2304
02:02:12.319 --> 02:02:15.600
It's probably dried in by now. The clearers can get it.

2305
02:02:15.680 --> 02:02:20.199
Does strangers ink? I ever thought, doesn't mean to be

2306
02:02:20.239 --> 02:02:23.880
ink more like blood if you ask me blood.

2307
02:02:24.800 --> 02:02:25.520
Let me see.

2308
02:02:27.760 --> 02:02:33.079
It's strange. Let me see that layout does seem a

2309
02:02:33.119 --> 02:02:36.279
little darker than it's on the card. None of the

2310
02:02:36.359 --> 02:02:39.760
cloth has something to do with it. Perhaps better let

2311
02:02:39.800 --> 02:02:43.000
the cleaners worry about it. What time are you leaving, dolls?

2312
02:02:43.479 --> 02:02:45.760
In a few minutes. I'm flying from the airport around five.

2313
02:02:46.279 --> 02:02:48.920
Well, good luck does see you in a few days.

2314
02:02:48.920 --> 02:02:52.640
Thanks to take care of yourself and lay off the liquor.

2315
02:02:53.039 --> 02:02:54.640
That's bad stuff to get started on.

2316
02:02:55.359 --> 02:02:56.239
Are you kidding?

2317
02:02:56.800 --> 02:02:57.560
What do you think?

2318
02:03:06.520 --> 02:03:09.199
Or a few brief moments, Doris stands staring at the

2319
02:03:09.319 --> 02:03:11.880
jack as he passes through the door to the outer office.

2320
02:03:12.520 --> 02:03:15.479
Then she picks up the towels, studies it for a moment.

2321
02:03:16.479 --> 02:03:19.359
Suddenly she tosses it into the desk drawer, leaves the

2322
02:03:19.399 --> 02:03:20.479
office and goes home.

2323
02:03:21.640 --> 02:03:24.720
Then around five, Doris meets Olivia at the airport.

2324
02:03:27.439 --> 02:03:29.640
Well, missus Martin, do you think we should try it tonight?

2325
02:03:30.039 --> 02:03:32.000
You mean you got not go? Are you fighting?

2326
02:03:32.039 --> 02:03:34.119
Oh? No, no, not exactly?

2327
02:03:34.279 --> 02:03:36.399
Frightened to storm's path? What's wrong?

2328
02:03:36.520 --> 02:03:36.640
What?

2329
02:03:37.720 --> 02:03:41.000
I don't really know? Nothing I get have nothing to

2330
02:03:41.039 --> 02:03:44.039
worry about. I've flown this plane in all kinds of weather. Yes,

2331
02:03:44.159 --> 02:03:51.880
of course, Well we're all fat. Let's climb in. I

2332
02:03:51.920 --> 02:03:53.600
wish I could have talked to Fred. I haven't the

2333
02:03:53.640 --> 02:03:56.199
quittest idea what this is all about? You know what

2334
02:03:56.279 --> 02:03:59.520
it's all about? In no time at all? What you'll

2335
02:03:59.520 --> 02:04:00.600
get there in a couple of hours.

2336
02:04:00.600 --> 02:04:15.760
Don't worry.

2337
02:04:16.399 --> 02:04:17.479
How far are we coming now?

2338
02:04:18.159 --> 02:04:18.439
Oh?

2339
02:04:18.479 --> 02:04:20.520
I don't know about seventy five miles?

2340
02:04:20.560 --> 02:04:21.119
I should say?

2341
02:04:21.319 --> 02:04:21.880
Where are we?

2342
02:04:21.960 --> 02:04:22.880
I can't see a thing.

2343
02:04:23.399 --> 02:04:24.840
We're not far from Montcello?

2344
02:04:25.039 --> 02:04:26.520
How can you tell? Can't can you see that?

2345
02:04:26.640 --> 02:04:26.960
Domar?

2346
02:04:27.479 --> 02:04:30.319
No? Not too well. I'm flying by instrument.

2347
02:04:30.520 --> 02:04:33.079
I hope we don't run into a storm. Frankly, I

2348
02:04:33.119 --> 02:04:34.880
don't like to be in a plane during a storm.

2349
02:04:35.199 --> 02:04:37.359
Well, I don't know of anyone who really does.

2350
02:04:37.520 --> 02:04:38.840
We could have taken a train.

2351
02:04:39.560 --> 02:04:42.520
We could have, but on this particular trip I was

2352
02:04:42.560 --> 02:04:45.439
in somewhat of a hurry to get to my destination.

2353
02:04:47.359 --> 02:04:50.760
Tell me, doth uh? May I call you?

2354
02:04:50.840 --> 02:04:52.279
Door? Of course?

2355
02:04:52.880 --> 02:04:54.800
I'm sure just a bit upset over this trip?

2356
02:04:55.640 --> 02:04:58.760
What do you mean just that? Do I seem upset?

2357
02:04:58.920 --> 02:04:59.119
Yes?

2358
02:04:59.199 --> 02:05:00.359
You do?

2359
02:05:00.399 --> 02:05:02.039
Something playing on your mind?

2360
02:05:03.000 --> 02:05:03.239
Yes?

2361
02:05:04.359 --> 02:05:07.680
If there is something bothering me? So what is it?

2362
02:05:07.600 --> 02:05:11.039
It's rather a guilty conscience, filthy conscience. Isn't that what

2363
02:05:11.119 --> 02:05:11.479
it is?

2364
02:05:12.079 --> 02:05:13.560
What are you talking about?

2365
02:05:14.560 --> 02:05:17.520
Are you looking forward to a nice visit in Buffalo where?

2366
02:05:18.279 --> 02:05:20.199
I don't know. I don't consider it a visit.

2367
02:05:20.239 --> 02:05:23.399
It's part of my job, and a very pleasant job too.

2368
02:05:24.680 --> 02:05:26.760
I'm sure you'll miss the job that is.

2369
02:05:26.760 --> 02:05:31.039
A tendant interest, working late at night, several nights a

2370
02:05:31.119 --> 02:05:34.239
week with friends. What do you mean by that? Why

2371
02:05:34.239 --> 02:05:35.199
should I lose my job?

2372
02:05:35.319 --> 02:05:37.119
Your job isn't all you're going to lose.

2373
02:05:37.279 --> 02:05:38.399
Do you know what you're saying?

2374
02:05:38.479 --> 02:05:40.960
Yes? And you know what I'm talking about. You're crazy.

2375
02:05:40.920 --> 02:05:41.920
Bread isn't in Buffalo.

2376
02:05:42.039 --> 02:05:42.439
Where is it?

2377
02:05:42.520 --> 02:05:43.000
I don't know?

2378
02:05:43.239 --> 02:05:44.960
But wherever he is, you'll never see him again.

2379
02:05:44.960 --> 02:05:45.560
Your little chief.

2380
02:05:45.600 --> 02:05:47.119
Put this plane down and let me out you.

2381
02:05:47.479 --> 02:05:49.439
I'm going to put it down, straight down. No what

2382
02:05:49.800 --> 02:05:51.720
seed won't think you're though attracted. Next time you see

2383
02:05:51.800 --> 02:05:56.520
you know you're out of your mind. You can't do this,

2384
02:05:56.600 --> 02:05:57.039
You can't.

2385
02:05:57.159 --> 02:06:02.199
You can't keep the switch my war, Honey, I want

2386
02:06:02.239 --> 02:06:03.479
you give me that key.

2387
02:06:15.439 --> 02:06:18.640
By some strange quirk of fate, Olivia is foiled in

2388
02:06:18.680 --> 02:06:22.600
our plan of suicide and murder. A farmer rushes to

2389
02:06:22.640 --> 02:06:27.319
the crash, finds Olivia thrown clear and I'm still alive now

2390
02:06:27.359 --> 02:06:29.399
an hour later in my farmhouse.

2391
02:06:32.840 --> 02:06:36.920
Uh ah, and you, fear man?

2392
02:06:37.600 --> 02:06:40.079
What why? Who are you?

2393
02:06:40.279 --> 02:06:42.359
I'm Doc Sanders Doctor.

2394
02:06:43.439 --> 02:06:44.920
Where where am i here?

2395
02:06:44.960 --> 02:06:47.800
On Jake Barrett's farm? Found you right after the crash?

2396
02:06:48.119 --> 02:06:48.600
Leave me.

2397
02:06:48.760 --> 02:06:51.680
You're mighty lucky, lucky? What do you mean?

2398
02:06:52.079 --> 02:06:54.239
You were thrown clear when you hit the tree tops,

2399
02:06:54.399 --> 02:06:56.319
got off a few scratches and a couple of rattling

2400
02:06:56.359 --> 02:06:58.840
good bumps, but not a busted bone any place where.

2401
02:06:59.119 --> 02:07:04.600
What happened to my j well, I'm.

2402
02:07:03.800 --> 02:07:09.680
Sorry to say she she's dead, dead, she's dead.

2403
02:07:10.399 --> 02:07:11.560
She wasn't as lucky as you.

2404
02:07:12.560 --> 02:07:15.840
I I'm lucky, am I don't you think so?

2405
02:07:16.920 --> 02:07:18.479
No? No, I don't.

2406
02:07:19.520 --> 02:07:20.520
I'm not lucky.

2407
02:07:23.479 --> 02:07:24.119
Take it easy.

2408
02:07:24.880 --> 02:07:27.560
I know how you feel, but you couldn't help it, ma'am.

2409
02:07:27.680 --> 02:07:31.439
These things just happen sometimes, do so they don't.

2410
02:07:32.079 --> 02:07:34.640
Well we're going to say, ma'am nothing.

2411
02:07:36.199 --> 02:07:39.399
I wasn't going to say anything.

2412
02:07:39.840 --> 02:07:43.000
Oh, well, they located your husband, ma'am. Jake's driving you

2413
02:07:43.039 --> 02:07:44.000
back to New York tonight.

2414
02:07:44.479 --> 02:07:45.520
You'll be all right.

2415
02:07:54.520 --> 02:07:58.319
Well, Olivia, now you are on the spot. Your vicious

2416
02:07:58.359 --> 02:08:00.560
plan was only partly as fault.

2417
02:08:00.880 --> 02:08:02.000
Now you've got the face.

2418
02:08:01.880 --> 02:08:04.439
Bread and how are you going to explain the situation?

2419
02:08:04.800 --> 02:08:08.479
How are you going to explain Darris's presence if you're plane.

2420
02:08:08.760 --> 02:08:11.960
Fred arrives in town, spends a few hours at his club,

2421
02:08:12.600 --> 02:08:16.720
then in the morning when he visits Olivia, Hello.

2422
02:08:16.479 --> 02:08:19.119
Ol of it so fas it was terrible.

2423
02:08:19.520 --> 02:08:22.560
Yes, I know, I'm very sorry, Olivia.

2424
02:08:23.199 --> 02:08:25.439
I don't know what happened. But all of a sudden,

2425
02:08:25.439 --> 02:08:28.880
the motor cut off. I couldn't find a clear spot anyplace.

2426
02:08:29.079 --> 02:08:31.239
I thought I saw a clearing, but it was more

2427
02:08:31.359 --> 02:08:33.680
trees and there's no motor. I couldn't pull up.

2428
02:08:33.880 --> 02:08:37.680
You were very fortunate, yes, I suppose. So where were

2429
02:08:37.720 --> 02:08:38.119
you going?

2430
02:08:38.920 --> 02:08:39.119
Why?

2431
02:08:39.560 --> 02:08:42.520
Well, after you left her, I got the thinking things

2432
02:08:42.520 --> 02:08:44.840
over and I just couldn't remain another night in this

2433
02:08:44.920 --> 02:08:47.399
house alone, so I decided to to go to my

2434
02:08:47.399 --> 02:08:48.479
sisters in Detroit.

2435
02:08:48.199 --> 02:08:48.720
For a while.

2436
02:08:50.439 --> 02:08:51.560
Why did you cry?

2437
02:08:52.159 --> 02:08:52.600
I don't know.

2438
02:08:52.680 --> 02:08:55.159
I just wanted to get away as fast as possible.

2439
02:08:55.359 --> 02:08:57.039
Wasn't it a rather bad night for flying?

2440
02:08:57.159 --> 02:08:59.680
No, I've flown in worse weather, so I'm it cleared.

2441
02:09:00.119 --> 02:09:09.840
I say, I was never so shocked in my life. No, no, no, no,

2442
02:09:11.000 --> 02:09:14.119
you couldn't up one of those things.

2443
02:09:15.000 --> 02:09:19.119
I know how you feel. Doris was very well. She

2444
02:09:19.199 --> 02:09:21.640
was a lovely girl, fishing.

2445
02:09:22.479 --> 02:09:26.760
She was young, had everything to live for. I know

2446
02:09:26.800 --> 02:09:31.359
how you miss steal Fred. Can you ever forgive me?

2447
02:09:31.439 --> 02:09:31.720
Friend?

2448
02:09:33.479 --> 02:09:36.600
Of course, I never want to fly a plate again.

2449
02:09:36.720 --> 02:09:40.680
Never. How did Doris happen to be with you? Or

2450
02:09:40.800 --> 02:09:42.840
was she going well?

2451
02:09:43.039 --> 02:09:45.680
She said she wanted to visit some friend in Buffalo,

2452
02:09:45.800 --> 02:09:47.159
asked me if I drop her off there?

2453
02:09:47.439 --> 02:09:49.439
How did you know you were flying that way?

2454
02:09:49.760 --> 02:09:52.920
Well, you see, I I went to your office and

2455
02:09:53.079 --> 02:09:55.239
told her I was going to Detroit and asked her

2456
02:09:55.279 --> 02:09:58.119
to do some money for me. Would I'd be glad

2457
02:09:58.159 --> 02:09:59.319
to put her down in Buffalo?

2458
02:09:59.359 --> 02:10:01.920
That's that's the I can't imagine why she leave the

2459
02:10:01.960 --> 02:10:03.640
office in the midle of the week to visit friends

2460
02:10:03.640 --> 02:10:04.239
out of town.

2461
02:10:05.239 --> 02:10:06.239
It wasn't like Doris.

2462
02:10:06.520 --> 02:10:08.920
Maybe she had some business to attend to on side.

2463
02:10:08.920 --> 02:10:12.119
Maybe I can't imagine what it might be.

2464
02:10:12.640 --> 02:10:15.279
Maybe maybe it was a personal business.

2465
02:10:15.399 --> 02:10:20.199
Possibly, Olivia, are you telling me the truth?

2466
02:10:20.760 --> 02:10:20.960
Why?

2467
02:10:21.479 --> 02:10:22.039
What do you mean?

2468
02:10:22.159 --> 02:10:24.159
Have you told me the real reason you wanted to

2469
02:10:24.239 --> 02:10:28.680
leave town? Certainly, weren't you well running from something?

2470
02:10:28.880 --> 02:10:30.039
What would I be running from?

2471
02:10:30.119 --> 02:10:31.079
You were carrying out a plan?

2472
02:10:31.159 --> 02:10:32.399
Weren't you plan?

2473
02:10:32.520 --> 02:10:34.560
Didn't you have a definite idea in mind when you

2474
02:10:34.600 --> 02:10:37.920
wrote that note to me? Note note? It seems you've

2475
02:10:37.960 --> 02:10:42.800
forgotten the note. Why don't you tell me the truth? Olivia?

2476
02:10:43.079 --> 02:10:46.039
Yes, it's that I did make up in mind too

2477
02:10:46.600 --> 02:10:50.439
to do something terrible. I was going to kill her

2478
02:10:51.079 --> 02:10:55.000
and myself. I couldn't stand it any longer. But after

2479
02:10:55.039 --> 02:10:56.720
I made it to you, I seem to come to

2480
02:10:56.760 --> 02:10:59.560
my sense of that. I saw things clearly, realized how

2481
02:10:59.600 --> 02:11:00.640
awful the thing would be.

2482
02:11:00.720 --> 02:11:02.119
I I just couldn't go through it.

2483
02:11:02.159 --> 02:11:03.920
So you decided to forget the idea and go on

2484
02:11:04.000 --> 02:11:04.680
to Detroit.

2485
02:11:04.840 --> 02:11:07.239
Yes, I swear I changed my mind about killing her.

2486
02:11:07.319 --> 02:11:08.359
I couldn't be a murderer.

2487
02:11:08.399 --> 02:11:10.560
You really expect me to believe that you must leave me.

2488
02:11:10.640 --> 02:11:14.520
You must please, I know what you think that everything

2489
02:11:14.560 --> 02:11:15.159
that's happened.

2490
02:11:15.359 --> 02:11:17.239
No, there's certainly definite evidence against you.

2491
02:11:17.600 --> 02:11:19.560
Yes that I swear I didn't.

2492
02:11:19.760 --> 02:11:22.399
That's easy to say. But the note is too convincing.

2493
02:11:22.439 --> 02:11:23.239
Where is the note?

2494
02:11:23.239 --> 02:11:24.079
You must destroy it.

2495
02:11:24.199 --> 02:11:25.159
Don't tell anyone about it?

2496
02:11:25.199 --> 02:11:25.680
Please spread.

2497
02:11:25.800 --> 02:11:28.039
What time was it when you visited my office?

2498
02:11:28.199 --> 02:11:29.920
I don't know, about noon, I think.

2499
02:11:30.000 --> 02:11:32.119
And you mailed the note the night before, yes, and

2500
02:11:32.159 --> 02:11:33.680
you made up your mind to leave town.

2501
02:11:34.159 --> 02:11:36.159
You went to the office, told Doris about.

2502
02:11:35.880 --> 02:11:37.720
It and left it five Yes, yes, that's right.

2503
02:11:38.920 --> 02:11:40.520
And what did you do in the meantime?

2504
02:11:41.439 --> 02:11:41.680
Why?

2505
02:11:42.439 --> 02:11:46.760
I can't remember. I'm so confused. I went shopping pro

2506
02:11:46.880 --> 02:11:48.800
while are you sure? I don't know.

2507
02:11:48.840 --> 02:11:51.159
I don't know, but I swear I changed my plan

2508
02:11:51.199 --> 02:11:52.239
by the time morning came.

2509
02:11:52.319 --> 02:11:53.880
You going to have a hard time proving all that

2510
02:11:54.000 --> 02:11:54.520
it's the truth.

2511
02:11:54.520 --> 02:11:55.920
Why shouldn't they believe the truth?

2512
02:11:56.039 --> 02:11:58.880
Circumstances all tie into well. We had separated the day

2513
02:11:58.920 --> 02:12:01.680
before I moved to the club. Several people knew about.

2514
02:12:01.439 --> 02:12:03.920
That, and in the note you said you knew who

2515
02:12:03.920 --> 02:12:07.399
the other woman was and stated clearly what you intended.

2516
02:12:07.000 --> 02:12:09.000
To do about it. I know, I know, And how

2517
02:12:09.039 --> 02:12:10.479
else can the police look at it?

2518
02:12:10.600 --> 02:12:11.119
Police?

2519
02:12:11.359 --> 02:12:12.279
What do they know about it?

2520
02:12:12.319 --> 02:12:15.000
They've been putting two and two together? Do they know

2521
02:12:15.039 --> 02:12:16.840
what's in the note waiting for me? When I got

2522
02:12:16.840 --> 02:12:19.720
back from Boston, they had already found the note. They

2523
02:12:19.720 --> 02:12:22.720
showed it to me. That's where you made your big

2524
02:12:22.760 --> 02:12:24.319
mistake overvia Fred.

2525
02:12:24.720 --> 02:12:26.680
They really think I killed her, murdered him?

2526
02:12:26.720 --> 02:12:27.479
They do?

2527
02:12:27.279 --> 02:12:28.359
What are they gonna do?

2528
02:12:28.479 --> 02:12:31.560
The detectives are here now, they want to talk with you.

2529
02:12:33.760 --> 02:12:37.279
Yes, I'll be calm verry.

2530
02:12:37.319 --> 02:12:43.560
Well, I'm coming in. Jetain Evans, Thank you, Olivia. This

2531
02:12:43.760 --> 02:12:46.720
is Captain Evans, and this is Lieutenant Davis.

2532
02:12:46.960 --> 02:12:47.439
How do you do.

2533
02:12:47.600 --> 02:12:48.800
Good morning, Missus Martin.

2534
02:12:49.720 --> 02:12:51.880
Did you, gentlemen, wish to see me?

2535
02:12:52.279 --> 02:12:54.760
Yes, I'd like to ask you a few questions.

2536
02:12:54.840 --> 02:12:58.520
Yes, yes, of course, But I hadn't done anything.

2537
02:12:58.560 --> 02:12:59.600
I'm absolutely innocent.

2538
02:12:59.720 --> 02:13:02.279
I yes, I know, Missus Martin. We don't want to

2539
02:13:02.359 --> 02:13:05.399
upset you. Just answer a few questions very well.

2540
02:13:05.720 --> 02:13:07.600
Is it true that your husband left you a few

2541
02:13:07.640 --> 02:13:10.079
days ago with the idea that you were to get

2542
02:13:10.079 --> 02:13:10.640
a divorce.

2543
02:13:10.960 --> 02:13:14.199
Yes, he took up residence at his club. Yes, you

2544
02:13:14.279 --> 02:13:16.560
believe that your husband was in love with another woman.

2545
02:13:16.960 --> 02:13:17.399
I did.

2546
02:13:17.720 --> 02:13:21.960
Did you know who that woman was? I?

2547
02:13:21.960 --> 02:13:22.359
I did.

2548
02:13:22.840 --> 02:13:25.279
Did you object to his leaving you getting a divorce?

2549
02:13:25.359 --> 02:13:27.039
Yes, yes I did.

2550
02:13:27.159 --> 02:13:29.800
Well after he left you, did you write this note

2551
02:13:29.800 --> 02:13:30.159
to him?

2552
02:13:30.520 --> 02:13:30.760
Yes?

2553
02:13:30.840 --> 02:13:32.319
Yes I wrote it, but I.

2554
02:13:32.680 --> 02:13:33.920
You mailed it to his club.

2555
02:13:34.439 --> 02:13:34.680
Yes.

2556
02:13:35.159 --> 02:13:37.239
Next day you got some money at his office.

2557
02:13:37.239 --> 02:13:40.479
About noon and exactly five o'clock you took off from

2558
02:13:40.520 --> 02:13:41.039
your plane.

2559
02:13:41.359 --> 02:13:44.439
Yes, but I'd changed my mind. I couldn't go through it,

2560
02:13:44.479 --> 02:13:44.920
and I didn't.

2561
02:13:44.920 --> 02:13:45.800
I swear I didn't.

2562
02:13:45.960 --> 02:13:49.880
Where were you, missus Martin? Between noon and five o'clock?

2563
02:13:50.920 --> 02:13:54.119
I went about town. I did little shopping. I don't

2564
02:13:54.119 --> 02:13:55.199
remember what else I did.

2565
02:13:55.800 --> 02:13:58.640
Can you prove where you were during that period? No?

2566
02:13:58.720 --> 02:13:59.760
I don't see how I could.

2567
02:14:00.520 --> 02:14:02.600
No one was with you during that time. Did you

2568
02:14:02.600 --> 02:14:04.880
frequent in the establishment where you were known? No?

2569
02:14:05.039 --> 02:14:06.880
No, I didn't. I saw no one I knew.

2570
02:14:06.960 --> 02:14:07.800
Are you sure, Olivia?

2571
02:14:07.920 --> 02:14:10.159
And I'm positive? What difference does it make where I

2572
02:14:10.239 --> 02:14:10.840
was between you and.

2573
02:14:10.800 --> 02:14:12.840
The five o'clock makes a lot of difference?

2574
02:14:13.479 --> 02:14:16.359
Because it was about that hour that Rita Bartow was

2575
02:14:16.399 --> 02:14:17.960
stabbed to death in her apartment.

2576
02:14:18.800 --> 02:14:21.960
Rita Barto the ahead of the Octopa that's right.

2577
02:14:22.479 --> 02:14:24.960
The weapons not been found and there were no clues

2578
02:14:25.039 --> 02:14:26.479
to the identity of the murder.

2579
02:14:26.960 --> 02:14:28.319
Accepting your note to.

2580
02:14:28.319 --> 02:14:33.239
Your husband, But Rita Barto, what have I to do

2581
02:14:33.359 --> 02:14:33.640
with her?

2582
02:14:33.880 --> 02:14:36.239
You said in your note here that you knew who

2583
02:14:36.279 --> 02:14:39.399
the woman was, Rita Bartow, the other woman?

2584
02:14:40.159 --> 02:14:42.319
What then?

2585
02:14:42.359 --> 02:14:42.760
What about?

2586
02:14:42.960 --> 02:14:44.800
What about who? What are you going to say?

2587
02:14:45.840 --> 02:14:46.199
Nothing?

2588
02:14:47.600 --> 02:14:54.319
I wasn't going to say anything, not one thing.

2589
02:14:54.319 --> 02:14:57.399
Oh, yes you were, Olivia, Yes you were. You were

2590
02:14:57.399 --> 02:14:59.840
going to say that you killed the wrong woman in

2591
02:15:00.279 --> 02:15:03.119
Doris Hammond. Of course we know you didn't kill rita

2592
02:15:03.199 --> 02:15:06.520
battle because Jack Mallory killed her when she turned him

2593
02:15:06.520 --> 02:15:08.680
down and said she was going to marry Fred Martin.

2594
02:15:09.079 --> 02:15:11.119
And Doris was the only one who knew about the

2595
02:15:11.119 --> 02:15:13.720
blood thains on Jack's coat. She was the only one

2596
02:15:13.720 --> 02:15:14.720
who could have pinned it on.

2597
02:15:14.760 --> 02:15:16.560
Jack and cleared you, Olivia.

2598
02:15:16.920 --> 02:15:20.479
But Doris is dead now and you killed her, killed

2599
02:15:20.479 --> 02:15:37.079
the very one who could have saved you. What a shame.

2600
02:15:45.800 --> 02:15:53.960
CPS has presented the Whistler Next week, same.

2601
02:15:53.680 --> 02:16:00.000
Time, either whistler will return to tell you another unusual tale.

2602
02:16:03.039 --> 02:16:19.319
This is the Columbia Broadcasting System.

2603
02:16:19.439 --> 02:16:24.319
Well, my dear, the evening has drawn to a close.

2604
02:16:25.079 --> 02:16:29.359
Soon the sun will return to the sky. You should

2605
02:16:29.399 --> 02:16:33.200
probably make your way home, and I'll go back to well,

2606
02:16:34.040 --> 02:16:38.959
wherever it is I come from. But please do return.

2607
02:16:39.840 --> 02:16:46.760
I'll be right here, same time, same place, happy to

2608
02:16:46.879 --> 02:16:50.760
have your company. But if I could ask just one

2609
02:16:50.840 --> 02:16:54.440
more favor to you as you make your way home,

2610
02:16:54.559 --> 02:16:58.440
as you cross the River Styx, as you enter your

2611
02:16:58.959 --> 02:17:02.239
beautiful point to the living room, and make your way

2612
02:17:02.319 --> 02:17:04.559
to the bed, as you lay your head down and

2613
02:17:05.040 --> 02:17:10.280
blink away the night, take one moment and be thankful

2614
02:17:10.879 --> 02:17:15.280
for what you have, and I'll be seeing you soon

2615
02:17:18.879 --> 02:17:38.639
Comanly in my memory, like the falling ming
