Unknown Broadcast | Graves & Revenants: Classic Horror Stories of Plague, Vengeance, and the Unquiet Dead

Unknown Broadcast | Graves & Revenants: Classic Horror Stories of Plague, Vengeance, and the Unquiet Dead

In this episode of Mystery Theater, we delve into the sinister world crafted by Wilkie Collins, exploring a chilling tale titled "Shadows from the Grave." The story is introduced by our host, Hyman Brown, who sets the stage for an intriguing exploration of mortality and the supernatural. We meet Xavier Yardley Zenith, a young photographer who inherits a mysterious estate from his Uncle George, who ominously proclaims that he will die within a week.

Uncle George's peculiar insistence on guarding his mausoleum raises the stakes as Xavier learns about the family secrets buried within the estate. As Xavier navigates his new life, the narrative takes a dark turn, unraveling the complexities of his uncle's death, underscored by a mysterious ghostly presence demanding resolution. The episode unfolds through Xavier's nightmarish visions of his uncle's ghost, urging him to seek a blessing for his unblessed grave, raising questions of guilt, a possible murder, and supernatural repercussions of familial ties.

The atmospheric richness of the storytelling becomes palpable as we witness Xavier's struggle against unseen forces that challenge his understanding of reality. Throughout the episode, the tension escalates with every check on the mausoleum’s locks and as Xavier grapples with his wife Catherine’s growing distrust of the ancestral legacy that seems to haunt them. The listener is drawn into the murky depths of human emotions, fear of the unknown, and the morality entwined with death.


Unknown Broadcast slips in with old-time radio horror, classic OTR ghost stories, and radio suspense, my dear. Draw closer—just enough to hear the dirt breathe.

  • 🕯️ Shadows from the Grave — A mausoleum sealed, a blessing demanded, a promise the living dare not break. The night keeps the ledger; the grave keeps the pen.
  • 🔥 Funeral Fires — Fever runs ahead of mercy, and smoke writes the verdict in the sky. When the torches rise, even the righteous learn to whisper.
  • ⚰️ Make Ready My Grave — A name etched before the heart stops beating. Some holes in the earth are not dug for bodies, but for secrets.
  • 🪦 No Grave Can Hold Me — Tracks hum, timetables tick, and the dead make their appointments—precise, punctual, inevitable.

Lean close, my dear. This is where classic OTR horror stories keep walking and Unknown Broadcast pretends not to notice.

1
00:00:08.640 --> 00:00:14.080
My dear, so good to see you back. I know

2
00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:21.440
last week got a little interesting. Well now, of course

3
00:00:21.559 --> 00:00:28.000
I'm back in my home of source and always happy

4
00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:35.079
to have your visited so late at night. Oh what's that?

5
00:00:35.679 --> 00:00:36.039
Well?

6
00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:41.759
I suppose some other time I'll fill you in on

7
00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:47.000
all the goings on, but let's just say I made

8
00:00:47.039 --> 00:00:55.159
the most of a glimmer of life. Now, please get comfortable.

9
00:00:55.880 --> 00:00:59.960
The tea is brewing. This November night is very cold,

10
00:01:01.759 --> 00:01:17.439
and I'm starting to feel shadows from the gray come in.

11
00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:25.760
Welcome, Welcome to mystery Theater. I am Hymen Brown. Those

12
00:01:25.799 --> 00:01:29.519
of you who have attended performances in the mystery theater

13
00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:34.159
know that there are certain tales that particularly entrance and

14
00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:39.840
intrigue me. They deal with the unusual, the unfamiliar, the unexplainable.

15
00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:43.400
So I have turned today to that master of mystery,

16
00:01:43.519 --> 00:01:47.200
Wilkie Collins, who has a habit of coming up with

17
00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:52.799
a story that's always making me say, why that's not possible?

18
00:01:53.799 --> 00:01:56.599
Or is it? Say?

19
00:01:58.959 --> 00:02:03.400
Say? Can you hear me?

20
00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:10.520
Yes? I can, Uncle, it's me Xavier. Are you a ghost?

21
00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:14.479
Why didn't Father Daily bless my coffin?

22
00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:19.919
I wanted him to Uncle, but he refused absolutely refused.

23
00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:26.360
Why because he said, you didn't die and natural death.

24
00:02:26.639 --> 00:02:34.159
You must make him bless the grave. I cannot rest

25
00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:35.319
until he does.

26
00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:48.000
Our mystery drama Shadows from the Grave, adapted from a

27
00:02:48.039 --> 00:02:52.000
story by Rookie Collins, was written especially for the Mystery

28
00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:57.879
Theater by James Agate Junior and stars Christopher Tabori and

29
00:02:57.960 --> 00:03:01.639
Fred Gwynn. I'll be back in a moment. With Act

30
00:03:01.719 --> 00:03:21.319
one one invariably associates mysterious with lonely old houses, strange,

31
00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:26.639
small inbred towns, peculiar characters, and I have to admit

32
00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:30.879
this story follows that pattern. The man who told it

33
00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:35.120
to me is one ex y Zenith. You can imagine

34
00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:39.400
the comments this poor guy has gone through life with. Nevertheless,

35
00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:43.840
he didn't seem to mind when I said, XYZ, would

36
00:03:43.879 --> 00:03:47.840
you tell us about your extraordinary adventure yourself?

37
00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:58.759
Having been christened Xavier Yardley Zenith and suffered with those

38
00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:02.759
initials all through school in California, I decided that when

39
00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:05.719
I got to the job age and became very good

40
00:04:05.719 --> 00:04:08.919
in photography, to open up a studio of my own.

41
00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:15.800
Call it Zenith of Hollywood, not an unusual word in Hollywood,

42
00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:20.040
where everything is the top. The best, the ultimate, the Zenith.

43
00:04:22.199 --> 00:04:25.079
Two things occurred in April of this year which totally

44
00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:25.879
changed my life.

45
00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:28.680
One I planned to marry.

46
00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:32.480
And two I got a note from my uncle George,

47
00:04:32.480 --> 00:04:35.560
who lived in Fresno, come see him on what he

48
00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:38.639
called a matter of some importance.

49
00:04:40.439 --> 00:04:44.519
Hello, up there, uncle George, it's me Xavier. What are

50
00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:45.560
you doing up in that tree?

51
00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:50.079
Xavier, Welcome, my boy. I've just about sealed up this

52
00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:55.319
hole in the tree. Eh here, give me a hand, steady,

53
00:04:56.240 --> 00:05:01.199
A pretty sprite A man in my age. Don't you

54
00:05:01.279 --> 00:05:03.800
think you've never been up this way before?

55
00:05:03.839 --> 00:05:06.759
Have you saved you since I was a child, Uncle George,

56
00:05:07.160 --> 00:05:10.040
What happened to this big old oak? Struck by lightning?

57
00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:13.800
No, it's the woodpeckers and squirrels that make all these holes.

58
00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:18.279
I've just had it with the noisy beggars. They jump

59
00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:20.920
from this tree to the top of the porch, and

60
00:05:20.959 --> 00:05:23.839
then they run along my bedroom window, making the most

61
00:05:23.839 --> 00:05:27.439
infernal racket you can imagine. So I've just been sealing

62
00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:30.079
up a few of their nesting places.

63
00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:34.439
Let them find apartments elsewhere, I say, what about that

64
00:05:34.519 --> 00:05:36.240
big hole on the other side of the tree.

65
00:05:37.360 --> 00:05:39.360
Maybe tomorrow and mix up some more cement.

66
00:05:40.600 --> 00:05:43.959
Say boy, you always go around with two cameras hanging

67
00:05:43.959 --> 00:05:44.560
around your neck.

68
00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:48.120
Photography is my business, so I'm always prepared just in case.

69
00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:52.879
Is there a living in it? You sell your pictures.

70
00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:55.800
I used to do better, took shots of movie stars

71
00:05:55.800 --> 00:05:58.399
on location, did a lot of newspaper and magazine work.

72
00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:01.639
But work is thin that I have a proposition to

73
00:06:01.639 --> 00:06:05.560
make you, since I gather that picture taking business isn't

74
00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:09.199
too profitable these days, I think you may be interested.

75
00:06:09.959 --> 00:06:10.639
Are you married?

76
00:06:11.079 --> 00:06:13.639
I'm just about to be this coming Saturday, matter of fact?

77
00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:14.120
Good?

78
00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:17.959
Then what I have in mind might make an excellent

79
00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:24.319
wedding present. I'm not a rich man, Xavier, but comfortably

80
00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:30.839
off fifty nine acres orchards, gardens, this house, and a

81
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:32.279
private family vault.

82
00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:36.560
On the premises you're joking, you're a mausoleum.

83
00:06:37.399 --> 00:06:41.879
Death is not a joke, Xavier. I am going to

84
00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:43.920
die in a week.

85
00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:47.759
You know you're not. You look fit as a fiddle,

86
00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:51.879
an ill tuned fiddle. Now death is only a few

87
00:06:51.959 --> 00:06:55.360
days off of me. Would come to this for some time,

88
00:06:55.519 --> 00:06:59.680
so it's no surprise. I'd like to show you where

89
00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:08.480
I'm going to be buried. Here we are that's gerarra

90
00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:12.160
marble and but mon granite. Those two locks on the

91
00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:14.639
bronze door are an invention of mine.

92
00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:16.879
Mind if I take a picture of it, not at all.

93
00:07:19.639 --> 00:07:23.240
There's no one in your private mausoleum, now, is there?

94
00:07:23.720 --> 00:07:23.920
No?

95
00:07:25.079 --> 00:07:31.279
There was no no one now, Xavier, I want you

96
00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:37.480
to pay particular attention. Two keyholes and two separate brass keys.

97
00:07:39.800 --> 00:07:42.600
There is a very good reason for the two locks.

98
00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:46.399
When I am laid to rest inside this wal Xavier,

99
00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:49.160
I don't expect I shall be trying to get out,

100
00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:53.519
but I do not wish anyone else to get in.

101
00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:55.480
But why would a person want to?

102
00:07:55.759 --> 00:07:58.279
It's not necessary for me to explain all that to

103
00:07:58.319 --> 00:08:03.120
you now, my boy, I turned the handle and so

104
00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:11.600
not spacious, but not crowded. My final home.

105
00:08:12.439 --> 00:08:14.720
Uncle, If you don't mind, could we go back to

106
00:08:14.759 --> 00:08:18.680
the house now. I'm not at my best in mausoleums.

107
00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:20.800
All right, I've shown you everything.

108
00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:23.920
We'll sit ourselves on the porch and I'll tell you

109
00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:28.399
what's on my mind. Have you ever sat in a

110
00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:29.319
porch swing?

111
00:08:29.519 --> 00:08:37.559
Xavier? Comfortable?

112
00:08:38.039 --> 00:08:41.840
I love these old swings, Xavier.

113
00:08:43.320 --> 00:08:46.679
I have no choice. You are my only living kin.

114
00:08:47.519 --> 00:08:51.519
There is no one else I'm leaving all my worldly

115
00:08:51.559 --> 00:08:57.600
possessions in this house, the contents, the grounds, everything to you.

116
00:08:58.960 --> 00:08:59.759
On one condition.

117
00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:03.919
You must live here and every day, every single day,

118
00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:07.080
mind you, you must go to that mausoleum and make

119
00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:10.320
certain there's been no one tampering with the locks.

120
00:09:11.919 --> 00:09:14.000
And that's the only condition.

121
00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:15.799
Uncle, the only one.

122
00:09:17.279 --> 00:09:21.600
I certainly appreciate your generosity. Can I think it over

123
00:09:21.639 --> 00:09:23.919
and let you know I'd like to talk it up

124
00:09:23.960 --> 00:09:24.639
with Catherine.

125
00:09:24.639 --> 00:09:29.799
Absolutely not, you're going to agree right now. But but what.

126
00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:33.919
You can have your zenith of Hollywood office right here.

127
00:09:34.639 --> 00:09:37.240
This place is plenty big enough. You can turn this

128
00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:39.879
hilarium into a studio if you like. I don't care,

129
00:09:40.519 --> 00:09:45.960
I won't be here it's all decided, then good. I'll

130
00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:47.519
have Henley take you to the top of the hill,

131
00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:50.080
a good view and you can see most of the property.

132
00:09:50.919 --> 00:09:55.399
Have a tug at that bellpull with Isavia. My dear boy,

133
00:09:55.480 --> 00:09:58.360
you don't know what a relief this is. My fate

134
00:09:58.679 --> 00:10:00.559
lies in your hand just a moment.

135
00:10:00.639 --> 00:10:04.399
Uncle. I haven't agreed to this inheritance yet, But if

136
00:10:04.440 --> 00:10:08.279
I do and I find someone's been at the locks

137
00:10:08.279 --> 00:10:11.200
of that mausoleum, what should I do.

138
00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:14.919
In my desk in the library bottom right hand drawer

139
00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:16.440
is a letter of instructions.

140
00:10:17.320 --> 00:10:19.679
The envelope has one word on it.

141
00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:22.879
Joshua, did you say, Joshua?

142
00:10:23.240 --> 00:10:27.480
But unless someone has been trying to break in, that

143
00:10:27.559 --> 00:10:31.720
letter must never be read. You rang, sir, Yes, Henley,

144
00:10:32.679 --> 00:10:36.480
this is my nephew, Xavier Yardley Zenith. He's going to

145
00:10:36.519 --> 00:10:39.200
be living here. I want you to acquaint him with

146
00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:44.200
the property. Very well, sir, goodbye, Xavier. I shall not

147
00:10:44.279 --> 00:10:50.720
be seeing you again. Have a good walk. Well, my

148
00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:54.679
dear Joshua, your old friend George Zenith has found a

149
00:10:54.759 --> 00:10:56.360
way to outwit you.

150
00:10:59.399 --> 00:11:06.960
Do you hear me, Joshua?

151
00:11:07.639 --> 00:11:11.120
That's exactly what he said, Catherine. He stood looking out

152
00:11:11.159 --> 00:11:14.200
of the window at the tree he'd been cementing, talking

153
00:11:14.200 --> 00:11:16.360
to someone called Joshua.

154
00:11:17.399 --> 00:11:21.679
Of course wasn't in the tree. It was most uncanny.

155
00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:24.200
And then I left the room with handling the butler.

156
00:11:25.039 --> 00:11:26.919
How well do you know your uncle George?

157
00:11:27.320 --> 00:11:28.360
Only slightly, I'd.

158
00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:31.279
Say, so, then you have no idea what he meant

159
00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:35.320
by Joshua. I'm going to outwit you now, not the vegust.

160
00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:38.679
But the important thing is, Catherine, do we want to

161
00:11:38.720 --> 00:11:41.080
spend the rest of our lives in a Victorian white

162
00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:41.799
elephant with a.

163
00:11:41.759 --> 00:11:42.559
Cook and a butler.

164
00:11:42.799 --> 00:11:43.559
Our lives.

165
00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:44.440
Well, that's the deal.

166
00:11:44.480 --> 00:11:49.720
If I accept, I have to guard that mausoleum every

167
00:11:49.799 --> 00:11:50.440
single day.

168
00:11:51.320 --> 00:11:54.399
Darling. Let's forget about this crazy uncle George of yours.

169
00:11:54.879 --> 00:11:57.879
We're getting married Saturday. That's enough to think about for now.

170
00:11:59.080 --> 00:12:01.200
If your uncle won to leave us his big old

171
00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:05.480
house in Fresno, fine, I love old houses, especially when

172
00:12:05.480 --> 00:12:09.799
it's a free gift. You didn't promise anything, did you?

173
00:12:09.840 --> 00:12:10.000
No?

174
00:12:10.480 --> 00:12:10.919
I didn't.

175
00:12:15.639 --> 00:12:19.720
Saturday, Catherine and I tied the Knot nothing fancy, just

176
00:12:19.759 --> 00:12:22.440
a few friends at the Registrar's office in Hollywood Boulevard.

177
00:12:23.240 --> 00:12:25.399
About a dozen of us drove out to Laguna Beach

178
00:12:25.480 --> 00:12:28.279
for a wedding breakfast, and we just got around to

179
00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:32.679
toasting one another in California Champagne when my service tracked

180
00:12:32.679 --> 00:12:36.360
me down and left a message that Uncle George had

181
00:12:36.399 --> 00:12:39.159
died and would I come back to Fresno.

182
00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:41.919
I'm father daily, mister Zenith.

183
00:12:42.080 --> 00:12:45.240
Your uncle came occasionally to our church, father daily. This

184
00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:46.679
is my wife, Catherine.

185
00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:47.120
How do you do?

186
00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:51.879
I'm sorry this sad occasion has brought us together. Not

187
00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:54.120
a very auspicious first married week.

188
00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:55.519
Is it.

189
00:12:55.519 --> 00:12:56.399
It's hard to believe.

190
00:12:57.039 --> 00:12:59.679
He seems so healthy and when he talked about being

191
00:12:59.679 --> 00:13:02.159
dead the week or did he?

192
00:13:02.240 --> 00:13:02.600
Yes?

193
00:13:03.279 --> 00:13:06.320
I thought it was his macomber sense of humor. How

194
00:13:06.360 --> 00:13:07.080
do you suppose he.

195
00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:10.840
Knew or if he intended to take his own life,

196
00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:12.639
and quite naturally.

197
00:13:12.200 --> 00:13:12.720
He would know.

198
00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:16.960
Well, surely no one think of my son. No one

199
00:13:17.120 --> 00:13:21.720
knows when is the funeral service. There isn't going to

200
00:13:21.759 --> 00:13:25.440
be one in the strict sense of the word, no funeral.

201
00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:27.080
But why not? Father?

202
00:13:27.639 --> 00:13:31.000
I'm afraid mister Zeena's uncle may not have died a

203
00:13:31.080 --> 00:13:37.320
natural death. The medical examiner said, an overdose of sleeping pills.

204
00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:39.919
Oh, but couldn't that have been an accident? I mean

205
00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:41.679
he told me he had a lot of trouble sleeping.

206
00:13:41.799 --> 00:13:44.720
Well, of course it could have, which is what the

207
00:13:44.759 --> 00:13:49.519
coroner decided, death by accident. But so long as there's

208
00:13:49.639 --> 00:13:53.519
the slightest suspicion, which you have rather confirmed just now,

209
00:13:53.559 --> 00:13:56.320
for me, I cannot bless the grave.

210
00:13:56.919 --> 00:13:58.919
I could bite my tongue for telling you what he said,

211
00:13:59.399 --> 00:14:00.759
that he'd be dead in a few days.

212
00:14:01.320 --> 00:14:05.679
Had you kept your uncle's intentions secret, that indeed would

213
00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:07.080
have been immortal sin.

214
00:14:13.399 --> 00:14:17.159
Yes, Henley you wish to see me, I do, sir, cook,

215
00:14:17.200 --> 00:14:18.200
and I want to leave.

216
00:14:19.080 --> 00:14:20.279
You wish to leave this house?

217
00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:22.679
But why will? Your uncle was alive.

218
00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:26.000
There were some very peculiar things going on, but out

219
00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:26.960
of loyalty.

220
00:14:26.600 --> 00:14:29.399
We just couldn't go. Peculiar things that frightened you.

221
00:14:29.480 --> 00:14:33.519
Oh yes, indeed, sir, Strange voices and goings on, and

222
00:14:34.000 --> 00:14:38.519
awful shrieks like someone being attacked, terrifying.

223
00:14:38.600 --> 00:14:40.960
If you ask me, I quite agree with you. Have

224
00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:42.919
you heard such noises since my uncle passed a win?

225
00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:43.159
No?

226
00:14:44.559 --> 00:14:47.879
Well, then I suggest to you the noises died with him.

227
00:14:48.200 --> 00:14:50.799
Now I'll w salary cooks also, and I don't want

228
00:14:50.799 --> 00:14:52.039
to hear any more about your leaving.

229
00:14:53.919 --> 00:14:57.039
You put it that way, sir, we'll be happy to

230
00:14:57.080 --> 00:14:57.480
stay on.

231
00:15:02.360 --> 00:15:04.960
Every day I go out and check the locks on

232
00:15:05.039 --> 00:15:08.200
the family vault. Catherine and I started making over the

233
00:15:08.240 --> 00:15:11.240
solarium into a studio, and I ordered equipment for a

234
00:15:11.320 --> 00:15:18.159
dark room. But then one night I had a strange dream.

235
00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:24.240
Savior, Savior yardly seen.

236
00:15:24.120 --> 00:15:26.480
It is that you, Uncle George.

237
00:15:26.919 --> 00:15:30.600
Why didn't Father Daily bless my coffin?

238
00:15:31.440 --> 00:15:34.600
I wanted him to uncle, but he wouldn't. He said.

239
00:15:34.639 --> 00:15:37.720
There was some question as to how you died.

240
00:15:38.120 --> 00:15:43.360
You must insist he bless the coffin. I cannot rest

241
00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:44.519
until he does.

242
00:15:45.120 --> 00:15:48.759
Uncle George, Am I really talking to you? Or am

243
00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:50.279
I imagining things in my sleep?

244
00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:54.799
Promise me you will make father daily bless my remains,

245
00:15:55.919 --> 00:15:59.679
Otherwise I have lost.

246
00:16:01.240 --> 00:16:14.159
I am to sleep, says Hamlet, for chance to dream.

247
00:16:14.679 --> 00:16:18.279
Ay, there's the rub, For in that sleep of death,

248
00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:19.960
what dreams may come?

249
00:16:20.440 --> 00:16:23.159
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil?

250
00:16:23.440 --> 00:16:24.799
Must give us pause.

251
00:16:25.960 --> 00:16:30.320
Our friend Xavier Yardley Zenas has surely been given pause.

252
00:16:31.080 --> 00:16:36.600
His uncle dies mysteriously, then appears in a dream, giving orders,

253
00:16:36.960 --> 00:16:38.200
exacting promises.

254
00:16:39.279 --> 00:16:43.639
Where will it lead? Where will it end? Mystery?

255
00:16:43.679 --> 00:16:59.600
Theater will return shortly with Act two. It has been

256
00:16:59.799 --> 00:17:04.279
an enigma for thousands of years. Our ghosts an illusion,

257
00:17:04.799 --> 00:17:08.400
a projection of what one wishes to see. Or do

258
00:17:08.440 --> 00:17:12.279
they represent some ephemeral link between the world of the

259
00:17:12.359 --> 00:17:16.079
dead and the world of the living. The problem that

260
00:17:16.160 --> 00:17:20.279
faces Xavier is to persuade a member of the ministry

261
00:17:20.680 --> 00:17:23.559
to bless the remains of a man who may have

262
00:17:23.640 --> 00:17:28.720
committed murder, For that is indeed how the Church regards suicide.

263
00:17:29.279 --> 00:17:32.519
Catherine, I tell you, Uncle George's ghosts set it as

264
00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:36.039
clearly as I say this to you, Father daily must

265
00:17:36.079 --> 00:17:38.960
give me his blessing. I cannot rest until he does.

266
00:17:39.480 --> 00:17:44.920
Honey, can I say something? I appreciate this inheritance, the house,

267
00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:47.400
the grounds, money to run it and have a butler

268
00:17:47.440 --> 00:17:50.359
and a cook. I never, in my wildest dreams did

269
00:17:50.359 --> 00:17:53.240
I ever think I'd have that. But on the minor side,

270
00:17:53.279 --> 00:17:57.680
there's all this infatuation with death at mausoleum, which has

271
00:17:57.680 --> 00:17:59.720
to be guarded as though it were two time commons too,

272
00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:04.000
And now you having nightmares about your uncle Savior. It's

273
00:18:04.039 --> 00:18:04.599
not healthy.

274
00:18:04.799 --> 00:18:06.599
What am I to do? I gave my word.

275
00:18:06.960 --> 00:18:10.119
What about your career? You're a little young to retire

276
00:18:10.160 --> 00:18:13.160
to a gingerbread house in Fresno and play nursemaid to

277
00:18:13.200 --> 00:18:14.240
goolies and ghosty.

278
00:18:14.359 --> 00:18:16.039
Oh, we're going to make a great studio out of

279
00:18:16.079 --> 00:18:18.799
the solarium and then that enormous closet, turning it into

280
00:18:18.839 --> 00:18:19.359
a dark room.

281
00:18:19.400 --> 00:18:20.039
It'll be great.

282
00:18:20.200 --> 00:18:23.680
You don't understand me, do you. You've got to get

283
00:18:23.720 --> 00:18:26.920
out into the world and take pictures, mister Zenith of Hollywood,

284
00:18:27.559 --> 00:18:29.680
but having always to be one night away from this

285
00:18:29.799 --> 00:18:32.000
place so you can check the locks on a dead

286
00:18:32.039 --> 00:18:34.759
man's tomb is going to hold you back.

287
00:18:35.240 --> 00:18:37.440
I told you all this before we married, so don't

288
00:18:37.440 --> 00:18:38.240
throw it in my face.

289
00:18:38.279 --> 00:18:38.519
Now.

290
00:18:38.960 --> 00:18:41.039
What's the matter with you, Xavier? Have you no will

291
00:18:41.039 --> 00:18:43.759
of your own? Wey a month ago? If I told

292
00:18:43.759 --> 00:18:45.759
you that a ghost came to me in my sleep,

293
00:18:46.079 --> 00:18:47.599
you would have laughed right out loud.

294
00:18:47.680 --> 00:18:48.519
I'm not laughing now.

295
00:18:49.559 --> 00:18:51.279
You really believe you saw him, don't you?

296
00:18:51.400 --> 00:18:53.359
Of course I do. I was there, he was there,

297
00:18:53.400 --> 00:18:54.000
I heard him.

298
00:18:54.160 --> 00:18:56.000
And you've decided to stick it out here for the

299
00:18:56.039 --> 00:18:56.839
rest of your life.

300
00:18:56.880 --> 00:18:57.359
Is that it?

301
00:18:57.680 --> 00:18:58.640
If I have to, I will.

302
00:18:59.839 --> 00:19:02.359
I think i'd better leave you alone until you cool off.

303
00:19:03.319 --> 00:19:05.359
I'm not letting any dead uncle get in the way

304
00:19:05.400 --> 00:19:07.519
of my life. And I mean it.

305
00:19:11.799 --> 00:19:14.960
Catherine did mean it. Next thing, I knew, she'd lit

306
00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:17.240
out and went back to LA I knew where to

307
00:19:17.240 --> 00:19:20.640
find her, all right, and her mother's, but I was

308
00:19:20.759 --> 00:19:22.000
darned if I go running.

309
00:19:21.720 --> 00:19:25.039
After her, My dear mister Zenith, my hands are tied.

310
00:19:25.880 --> 00:19:29.599
The church simply cannot acknowledge any untoward debt.

311
00:19:29.759 --> 00:19:33.960
Father daily for three nights running. Uncle George disappeared to

312
00:19:33.960 --> 00:19:38.160
me at night, saying, help me lie in rest. I

313
00:19:38.279 --> 00:19:44.359
cannot until Father Daily blesses my coffin Xavier mayor Cory Xavier.

314
00:19:44.400 --> 00:19:48.559
I wish you would, Why, boy, you and I are

315
00:19:48.599 --> 00:19:51.759
both modern men at the edge of the twenty first century.

316
00:19:52.839 --> 00:19:56.200
For you to tell me that you're being visited by

317
00:19:56.240 --> 00:19:59.759
your uncle's ghost. While I won't discount it as a

318
00:19:59.759 --> 00:20:03.839
part ability, it's much more likely to be your own

319
00:20:03.880 --> 00:20:06.759
conscience worrying you to such an extent that you can

320
00:20:06.839 --> 00:20:10.640
convince yourself that you've seen him. You tell me it

321
00:20:10.680 --> 00:20:14.839
happens when you're asleep. I say to you, yes, it could,

322
00:20:15.920 --> 00:20:20.119
but that still doesn't make it any more than a dream.

323
00:20:20.880 --> 00:20:23.319
Last night he said I should read some of the

324
00:20:23.359 --> 00:20:25.519
books in his library, and I would understand.

325
00:20:25.720 --> 00:20:29.200
Go read your uncle's books, and if this brings you

326
00:20:29.319 --> 00:20:33.079
peace of mind, then you know whether his appearances are

327
00:20:33.240 --> 00:20:34.319
fact or fancy.

328
00:20:35.519 --> 00:20:36.759
That's just what I aim to do.

329
00:20:36.880 --> 00:20:46.720
Father, you rang for me, sir, Yes, I did Henry

330
00:20:47.160 --> 00:20:48.880
come into the library and shut the door behind you.

331
00:20:51.359 --> 00:20:54.359
Did you know my uncle was greatly interested in black magic.

332
00:20:55.079 --> 00:20:57.680
I did tell you I was awhere. Something strange was

333
00:20:57.720 --> 00:21:02.319
going on. He and missus Tree they did some kind

334
00:21:02.359 --> 00:21:06.720
of I don't know what you'd call it mister Tree

335
00:21:07.119 --> 00:21:10.480
a friend of your uncle's. They spent a lot of

336
00:21:10.559 --> 00:21:14.359
time together, and then a year ago mister Tree went away.

337
00:21:14.680 --> 00:21:17.480
Can you be more specific than something strange?

338
00:21:18.680 --> 00:21:24.359
Well, sir, there be a lot of candles, hundreds in fact,

339
00:21:25.000 --> 00:21:28.519
that have them all burning, and that be incense and

340
00:21:28.680 --> 00:21:31.480
chanting right here in the library.

341
00:21:31.559 --> 00:21:35.599
Mister Zenith, I'd been reading these books, and what amazed

342
00:21:35.680 --> 00:21:38.559
me was how many of them deal with the power

343
00:21:38.640 --> 00:21:39.599
of black magic.

344
00:21:40.359 --> 00:21:43.240
I remember him asking me to bring home a cup

345
00:21:43.279 --> 00:21:46.480
of holy water from the church, and I said to him,

346
00:21:46.480 --> 00:21:49.880
I said, well, sir, you're supposed to go to church

347
00:21:49.960 --> 00:21:54.799
in person and bless yourself with holy water, not bring

348
00:21:54.839 --> 00:21:58.319
the holy water here. And your uncle said, getting the

349
00:21:58.359 --> 00:22:02.079
holy water is the easy to I have to get

350
00:22:02.160 --> 00:22:06.480
the blood of a child to mix with the water.

351
00:22:07.640 --> 00:22:09.799
Henley, did you ever find out what it was for?

352
00:22:09.960 --> 00:22:10.359
No?

353
00:22:11.119 --> 00:22:14.640
I didn't. I didn't ask, and I didn't steal the

354
00:22:14.680 --> 00:22:16.160
holy water from the church either.

355
00:22:16.680 --> 00:22:20.200
Henry, you strike me as a sensible man. Will you

356
00:22:20.200 --> 00:22:22.839
do me a favor tonight? I generally take a walk

357
00:22:22.839 --> 00:22:26.079
in the garden after dark. Perhaps you'd walk with me.

358
00:22:27.559 --> 00:22:36.599
Certainly, sir. I see you brought your camera. Mister zenith.

359
00:22:37.240 --> 00:22:39.519
Can you take pictures with orly moonlight?

360
00:22:40.000 --> 00:22:43.640
Yes, films so fast nowadays I could get a picture

361
00:22:43.680 --> 00:22:45.799
of you at twenty feet by the light of one match.

362
00:22:47.559 --> 00:22:50.400
Now this part here where we're walking, is this also

363
00:22:50.440 --> 00:22:52.039
part of my uncle's property.

364
00:22:53.440 --> 00:22:56.799
I should say, your property, sir? This is all part

365
00:22:56.880 --> 00:22:57.160
of it.

366
00:22:58.400 --> 00:23:01.599
And that brook took. Let let's walk to the other

367
00:23:01.680 --> 00:23:07.640
side across this footbridge. The path seems to continue downstream

368
00:23:07.640 --> 00:23:08.359
over there.

369
00:23:08.519 --> 00:23:09.039
Over there?

370
00:23:09.200 --> 00:23:13.680
What's that little stone building? That's the mausoleum, sir?

371
00:23:14.400 --> 00:23:21.039
So it is by move I'm afraid I'm a little discombobulated. Wait,

372
00:23:21.519 --> 00:23:23.400
that's a good shot from this side of the brook,

373
00:23:24.039 --> 00:23:25.839
mausoleum reflected in the water.

374
00:23:27.440 --> 00:23:32.599
Yeah, I think I got it, any heny.

375
00:23:33.000 --> 00:23:33.400
What's that?

376
00:23:34.680 --> 00:23:38.759
What's what's sir? The figure of a man? I just

377
00:23:38.759 --> 00:23:42.440
saw him in my viewfinder. Then he disappeared. Where's her

378
00:23:43.039 --> 00:23:47.680
there there again? Can't you see it? Yes? Yes, there

379
00:23:47.759 --> 00:23:51.079
was someone. He's moving away from the mausoleum. You see him.

380
00:23:52.160 --> 00:23:54.640
He's wearing a long cape almost to the ground.

381
00:23:54.920 --> 00:23:56.799
Can you see how long cape?

382
00:23:57.240 --> 00:23:57.519
Hold?

383
00:23:57.519 --> 00:24:00.519
No cakes, excuse me.

384
00:24:00.519 --> 00:24:02.720
Mister Snath, for TI must go then lit which just

385
00:24:02.759 --> 00:24:05.519
a minute, sir, will you please let go off my arm.

386
00:24:06.400 --> 00:24:07.319
I will when you tell me.

387
00:24:07.400 --> 00:24:07.559
Now.

388
00:24:08.400 --> 00:24:09.279
Do you know that man?

389
00:24:10.880 --> 00:24:11.920
He's come back?

390
00:24:13.400 --> 00:24:14.440
Oh?

391
00:24:14.640 --> 00:24:16.880
I never thought we'd see him again.

392
00:24:19.599 --> 00:24:21.960
Kenley ran off. I followed the man in the cape,

393
00:24:22.039 --> 00:24:23.720
keeping my distance across the brook.

394
00:24:24.200 --> 00:24:27.759
He seemed to glide over the earth. I ran across

395
00:24:27.759 --> 00:24:32.519
the footbridge towards him, and then he disappeared. I turned

396
00:24:32.519 --> 00:24:35.279
back to the house and suddenly there he was, standing

397
00:24:35.359 --> 00:24:38.400
against the big oak tree, and then.

398
00:24:39.519 --> 00:24:41.400
He seemed to melt right into it.

399
00:24:46.000 --> 00:24:49.880
I do apologize, mister Zenith for my behavior last night,

400
00:24:50.400 --> 00:24:51.240
leaving you like that.

401
00:24:51.440 --> 00:24:52.559
Yes, sounds rather puzzled.

402
00:24:53.480 --> 00:24:58.799
You're a photographer, sir, so I have something to show

403
00:24:58.839 --> 00:25:01.039
you this snapshot.

404
00:25:02.680 --> 00:25:03.880
Do you see that man?

405
00:25:04.799 --> 00:25:08.000
Yes, it's very like the thing I saw last night.

406
00:25:08.039 --> 00:25:11.799
I hunched of a man with a long cake. It

407
00:25:11.839 --> 00:25:15.119
looks like he's talking to someone, someone out of camera range.

408
00:25:15.119 --> 00:25:19.519
Possibly, if that's the peculiar part of it, he was

409
00:25:19.559 --> 00:25:22.640
talking to someone. I took a picture of the two

410
00:25:22.680 --> 00:25:25.880
of them, but the other man's not in the picture.

411
00:25:27.000 --> 00:25:30.160
Are you saying this person we can't see was there

412
00:25:30.200 --> 00:25:33.240
but didn't register on the film. I don't think I understand.

413
00:25:33.640 --> 00:25:37.920
Perhaps it's better that you don't, mister Zedith. What about

414
00:25:38.119 --> 00:25:39.519
the man whose picture you got?

415
00:25:39.799 --> 00:25:40.440
Do you know him?

416
00:25:40.759 --> 00:25:45.039
It's mister Joshua Tree, sir. When he used to live

417
00:25:45.079 --> 00:25:49.279
here and now he's come back. That's why I must

418
00:25:49.279 --> 00:25:52.359
pick you for your understanding and indulgence, Missus Henley, and

419
00:25:52.440 --> 00:25:55.839
I simply cannot stay for a moment longer, even.

420
00:25:55.640 --> 00:25:58.960
If it is mister Tree who's come back. Why must

421
00:25:59.000 --> 00:26:00.200
you leave? Henley?

422
00:26:00.039 --> 00:26:04.160
I can't say anymore, I really can't. But if you

423
00:26:04.240 --> 00:26:08.480
want my advice, mister Savior, if you value your life,

424
00:26:09.240 --> 00:26:10.079
you'll leave here.

425
00:26:10.240 --> 00:26:19.119
Also, when I developed the shots I took of the

426
00:26:19.160 --> 00:26:23.720
cape figure, they were identical to Henley's snapshot.

427
00:26:25.160 --> 00:26:28.039
That night from the darkened library.

428
00:26:27.799 --> 00:26:31.920
I watched the oak tree at midnight, the figure in

429
00:26:31.960 --> 00:26:34.960
the cape appeared. I crept out of the house, following

430
00:26:34.960 --> 00:26:37.359
me to the door of the mausoleum.

431
00:26:37.559 --> 00:26:38.680
This is what Uncle.

432
00:26:38.480 --> 00:26:41.759
George must have meant. I reached forward to stop the man.

433
00:26:42.480 --> 00:26:44.079
Something hit me on the head from behind.

434
00:26:45.119 --> 00:26:46.279
I blacked out, A.

435
00:26:51.960 --> 00:26:58.599
Savior, Savior, you're right, oh, Catherine, what are you doing

436
00:26:58.640 --> 00:27:02.960
here dreaming? Don't ask so many questions. That's quite a

437
00:27:02.960 --> 00:27:05.079
bump on your head here. Let me help you out.

438
00:27:05.839 --> 00:27:06.680
I can't make it all right.

439
00:27:08.160 --> 00:27:12.119
Oh, whoever hit me wasn't kidding.

440
00:27:12.440 --> 00:27:14.680
Just stop talking and lean on me and we'll walk

441
00:27:14.680 --> 00:27:15.880
slowly back to the house.

442
00:27:17.000 --> 00:27:21.079
Catherine, This gets more mysterious every minute. But the biggest

443
00:27:21.119 --> 00:27:23.839
mystery is how you just happened to show up.

444
00:27:24.119 --> 00:27:27.279
I'm your wife. Remember, I decided I was being stupid,

445
00:27:27.480 --> 00:27:28.279
so I came back.

446
00:27:29.720 --> 00:27:31.480
No, darling, you don't have to hold me up. I

447
00:27:31.519 --> 00:27:32.279
can make it all right.

448
00:27:32.440 --> 00:27:34.839
Ah, You're not gonna trip and fall again while I'm.

449
00:27:34.640 --> 00:27:39.640
Around, Catherine. I didn't fall. Somebody hit me.

450
00:27:40.480 --> 00:27:43.640
Navier, what are you talking about? I saw you at

451
00:27:43.640 --> 00:27:45.920
the mausoleum when I came out of the house. I

452
00:27:45.960 --> 00:27:48.799
saw you step back and fall over. There wasn't a

453
00:27:48.799 --> 00:27:49.480
soul in sight.

454
00:27:50.400 --> 00:27:53.279
You didn't see anyone near me. It's after two in

455
00:27:53.319 --> 00:27:53.799
the morning.

456
00:27:54.039 --> 00:27:56.079
When we get back to the house to bed, you

457
00:27:56.079 --> 00:27:58.640
go and not a peep out of you.

458
00:27:58.640 --> 00:28:00.440
You don't believe that I was hit from behind.

459
00:28:01.279 --> 00:28:04.799
I believe my eyes and they didn't see a thing.

460
00:28:13.240 --> 00:28:17.359
Father, DELI, who is Joshua Tree? Where did you hear

461
00:28:17.440 --> 00:28:19.839
that name? Henley told me, but not much else.

462
00:28:20.920 --> 00:28:26.039
Joshua Tree he was a man who to the bottom

463
00:28:26.079 --> 00:28:30.039
of his heart, if he had one, was basically evil?

464
00:28:30.319 --> 00:28:32.039
How did my uncle come to know him?

465
00:28:32.240 --> 00:28:34.759
Where? He just turned up? About two years ago?

466
00:28:35.759 --> 00:28:37.799
Your uncle took a fancy to him and saw a

467
00:28:37.799 --> 00:28:40.720
good deal of him, which I am afraid was the

468
00:28:40.720 --> 00:28:43.319
most unfortunate thing he ever did in his life.

469
00:28:43.440 --> 00:28:44.839
Why do you say that, father.

470
00:28:45.519 --> 00:28:49.240
Joshua Tree was the very spirit of the devil himself.

471
00:28:49.480 --> 00:28:51.599
I show you a photograph I took near my uncle's

472
00:28:51.680 --> 00:28:53.200
vault the day before yesterday.

473
00:28:54.440 --> 00:28:55.480
Is that Joshua Tree?

474
00:28:56.440 --> 00:29:03.160
M the count really make out the face, but the

475
00:29:03.240 --> 00:29:07.319
cape and the angle of the head very similar, I'd say,

476
00:29:08.480 --> 00:29:09.920
But of course, how could it be?

477
00:29:10.920 --> 00:29:12.319
He disappeared a year ago?

478
00:29:12.839 --> 00:29:13.079
Father?

479
00:29:13.119 --> 00:29:17.599
Here's another picture? Is that the man? Yes, that's him.

480
00:29:18.799 --> 00:29:20.640
You didn't take this picture, did you?

481
00:29:20.640 --> 00:29:20.680
No?

482
00:29:21.839 --> 00:29:23.839
It was given to me by Henley, he took it.

483
00:29:24.319 --> 00:29:28.079
If that's Joshua Tree, you notice he appears to be

484
00:29:28.160 --> 00:29:30.279
talking to someone, but there's no one there.

485
00:29:31.000 --> 00:29:35.440
Oh, yes there is. But the camera can't record an apparition.

486
00:29:36.200 --> 00:29:38.680
You mean, Joshua Tree was talking to someone, but we

487
00:29:38.799 --> 00:29:39.519
can't see him.

488
00:29:39.799 --> 00:29:45.240
Because, my dear young lady, that invisible thing is a familiar.

489
00:29:45.559 --> 00:29:45.920
What's that?

490
00:29:47.039 --> 00:29:47.839
A familiar?

491
00:29:48.640 --> 00:29:52.519
Is an evil? Spirit visible to very few. The devil

492
00:29:52.599 --> 00:29:55.480
can see him, as can a sorcerer's apprentice.

493
00:29:56.640 --> 00:30:10.000
So you were saying, Joshua Tree was such an apprentice, savior.

494
00:30:10.400 --> 00:30:11.119
Are you in here?

495
00:30:12.400 --> 00:30:15.119
There's nothing here? Try this drawer?

496
00:30:15.200 --> 00:30:15.880
What are you doing?

497
00:30:16.480 --> 00:30:18.240
I said nothing? Nothing?

498
00:30:18.400 --> 00:30:19.359
What do you mean nothing?

499
00:30:20.000 --> 00:30:23.079
I mean there's nothing in any of my uncle's desk drawers.

500
00:30:23.599 --> 00:30:24.359
He told me there was.

501
00:30:24.480 --> 00:30:26.160
Say, dear, why don't you answer me.

502
00:30:26.799 --> 00:30:28.200
Because I don't have any answers.

503
00:30:29.400 --> 00:30:30.839
Let me see if I can get under this desk.

504
00:30:31.640 --> 00:30:32.440
Knock the wood.

505
00:30:32.880 --> 00:30:34.160
Maybe there's a secret drawer.

506
00:30:35.599 --> 00:30:37.759
Ah, yes, it's hollow.

507
00:30:37.799 --> 00:30:38.000
Here.

508
00:30:38.160 --> 00:30:42.720
Listen, one of these drawers is short behind it.

509
00:30:42.799 --> 00:30:48.000
That there must be. I'll pull this drawer, I'll put

510
00:30:48.000 --> 00:30:53.559
it on the floor. Then I reached back in suck. Yes,

511
00:30:54.720 --> 00:30:59.559
I feel something, novel. Well, here's she be?

512
00:31:00.039 --> 00:31:02.079
How did you know it was back there.

513
00:31:02.079 --> 00:31:02.839
Before he died?

514
00:31:03.640 --> 00:31:06.759
Last time I saw him alive, Uncle George told me

515
00:31:06.799 --> 00:31:09.400
that if somebody was tampering with his mausoleum, I find

516
00:31:09.400 --> 00:31:12.720
my instructions in a letter that the word Joshua written

517
00:31:12.720 --> 00:31:15.920
on it, to whom it may concern.

518
00:31:17.079 --> 00:31:27.240
So oh no, oh, no, murdered he killed him?

519
00:31:27.640 --> 00:31:34.079
Lord in Heaven, what are we to do now?

520
00:31:35.559 --> 00:31:39.000
The ghost in the play Hamlet says, I am thy

521
00:31:39.079 --> 00:31:43.680
father's spirit, doomed for a certain term to walk the

522
00:31:43.799 --> 00:31:47.319
night till the foul crimes done in my days of

523
00:31:47.480 --> 00:31:50.240
nature are burned and purged away?

524
00:31:51.359 --> 00:31:53.240
Is it so with Uncle George?

525
00:31:53.799 --> 00:31:58.160
Is he also doomed to eternal unrest until his sins

526
00:31:58.200 --> 00:32:00.319
are purged and burnt her way?

527
00:32:01.400 --> 00:32:03.519
Mystery theater will return shortly.

528
00:32:15.640 --> 00:32:20.759
It's all very well to pooh pooh the occult ghostly apparitions,

529
00:32:21.279 --> 00:32:26.160
phantoms that haunt the deceased, who cannot find peace until

530
00:32:26.200 --> 00:32:30.079
they find love or forgiven their earthly sins, etc.

531
00:32:30.799 --> 00:32:31.079
Etc.

532
00:32:31.799 --> 00:32:36.440
But the fact remains that time and again psychic researchers

533
00:32:36.519 --> 00:32:43.319
have agreed there are manifestations that defy and disobey nature's laws,

534
00:32:43.960 --> 00:32:49.200
and whether we like it or not, the unexplained does exist.

535
00:32:53.039 --> 00:32:55.960
I shall never forget that evening, For even as I

536
00:32:56.000 --> 00:32:59.119
stood there the letter of confession in my hand, Catherine

537
00:32:59.160 --> 00:33:02.200
waiting for me to read on, we were both suddenly

538
00:33:02.240 --> 00:33:03.720
so overcome by the cold.

539
00:33:03.720 --> 00:33:07.160
I handle light of fire, and this was late July,

540
00:33:07.359 --> 00:33:11.039
mind you, We needed a fire. We lit candles.

541
00:33:12.359 --> 00:33:15.960
Something compelled us to like dozens and dozens of candles.

542
00:33:17.119 --> 00:33:21.880
Warmer. Now it's seeing the flames. I think. Go on, Xavier,

543
00:33:21.960 --> 00:33:22.960
read your uncle's letter.

544
00:33:23.720 --> 00:33:28.200
To whom it may concern, especially you, my dear nephew, Xavier,

545
00:33:28.920 --> 00:33:32.359
I fear they have come to get me. They've appeared

546
00:33:32.400 --> 00:33:35.160
at the door of my mausoleum, or else.

547
00:33:34.960 --> 00:33:42.759
You would not be reading star Uncle George. Catherine to

548
00:33:42.839 --> 00:33:43.279
see him.

549
00:33:43.559 --> 00:33:45.880
Yes, is he is that?

550
00:33:45.880 --> 00:33:48.279
You don't be alarm, my dear young lady.

551
00:33:49.200 --> 00:33:53.119
I'm sorry we did not meet before, but only your

552
00:33:53.240 --> 00:33:54.559
husband can help me.

553
00:33:56.000 --> 00:33:56.680
Is this true?

554
00:33:57.720 --> 00:33:58.920
Am I really hearing this?

555
00:34:00.759 --> 00:34:05.119
You must find Joshua's body and destroy it, burn it.

556
00:34:06.359 --> 00:34:09.639
You see, I had to kill him. I put his

557
00:34:09.760 --> 00:34:13.639
body in the crypt, and then it disappeared.

558
00:34:14.159 --> 00:34:18.519
How horrible, Catherine.

559
00:34:17.440 --> 00:34:21.880
Joshua Tree's death was not half so horrible as his life.

560
00:34:22.119 --> 00:34:26.679
I was a fool, a lonely old fool. I submitted

561
00:34:26.760 --> 00:34:30.639
to his black magic. I subordinated my will to his

562
00:34:30.840 --> 00:34:38.119
and became a crawling, a craven creature. My mind, I

563
00:34:38.320 --> 00:34:41.119
my mind. I lost control of my mind. It was

564
00:34:41.159 --> 00:34:43.840
all the doing of the hellish creature he conjured up

565
00:34:43.840 --> 00:34:48.480
from the world of the damned, his familiar.

566
00:34:49.039 --> 00:34:54.440
Uncle if Joshua tree's body is hidden somewhere. How can

567
00:34:54.480 --> 00:34:55.039
I find it?

568
00:34:55.320 --> 00:34:57.719
We will try anything to help you.

569
00:34:57.840 --> 00:35:04.199
Uncle, persuade father to bless my grave, Help me, savey,

570
00:35:06.079 --> 00:35:06.800
help me.

571
00:35:11.519 --> 00:35:15.079
I'm glad you finally saw them two castles, all those

572
00:35:15.079 --> 00:35:17.960
heavy summer storms. You better check the library windows. I'll

573
00:35:17.960 --> 00:35:19.519
do the ones on the side castine. You make sure

574
00:35:19.519 --> 00:35:20.880
the one's facing the front of trade.

575
00:35:21.119 --> 00:35:23.760
Look the fire in the fireplace.

576
00:35:23.320 --> 00:35:26.079
It's going out. The s must see the downdraft blowing

577
00:35:26.079 --> 00:35:28.280
down the chimney. Now the fire's gone out.

578
00:35:28.320 --> 00:35:29.880
Oh, the candles are going out.

579
00:35:30.320 --> 00:35:32.920
Must be some stranger circulating in this room. Let me

580
00:35:32.960 --> 00:35:33.800
get the electric lights.

581
00:35:33.840 --> 00:35:34.880
The switch is by the door.

582
00:35:36.519 --> 00:35:38.519
That's funny, nothing's happened.

583
00:35:39.639 --> 00:35:41.599
Can't you turn the lights on?

584
00:35:42.679 --> 00:35:44.679
No? What what?

585
00:35:45.280 --> 00:35:47.639
That happens? Often in the country get a big storm

586
00:35:47.639 --> 00:35:49.360
and the electricity just shuts off.

587
00:35:49.639 --> 00:35:51.639
I'll look out the front library windows and see if

588
00:35:51.639 --> 00:35:55.159
there are lights in the other houses down the road. Savior,

589
00:35:55.760 --> 00:36:00.679
come here, there's someone out there. Look pressed against the

590
00:36:00.679 --> 00:36:04.360
big old man in the cape and next to him

591
00:36:04.679 --> 00:36:06.400
a tall kind of man.

592
00:36:07.400 --> 00:36:08.880
They're both huddling against the trunk of.

593
00:36:08.840 --> 00:36:10.280
The tree, trying to keep out of the ring.

594
00:36:12.079 --> 00:36:17.400
Catherine the tall one. It's tuning around from the tree,

595
00:36:18.559 --> 00:36:20.599
just looking right this way. Can it see us?

596
00:36:20.639 --> 00:36:20.800
Oh?

597
00:36:20.960 --> 00:36:25.960
Hidious face my death? The eyes do you see those eyes?

598
00:36:26.320 --> 00:36:27.840
Not's beckoning to the man in the cape.

599
00:36:27.880 --> 00:36:31.039
I see him? Is that Joshua Tree in spirit?

600
00:36:32.000 --> 00:36:34.679
For I am sure now where his body is in

601
00:36:34.719 --> 00:36:37.920
that tree. That's why Uncle George was so haunted.

602
00:36:38.800 --> 00:36:41.639
Oh it's all clear to me now. The time I

603
00:36:41.679 --> 00:36:44.559
followed Joshua Tree to the mausoleum, they were trying to

604
00:36:44.599 --> 00:36:47.920
get at the corpse of Uncle George. It was the

605
00:36:48.000 --> 00:36:49.440
familiar who knocked me down.

606
00:36:49.719 --> 00:36:53.559
Am I imagining it? But both of them have come

607
00:36:53.679 --> 00:36:56.440
much closer to our picture window.

608
00:36:59.119 --> 00:37:05.320
Who, Father, DELI is that you? This is Xavior. You've

609
00:37:05.320 --> 00:37:07.000
got to come over to my uncle's house. You've simply

610
00:37:07.039 --> 00:37:12.320
got to Father, I employ you come now. Catherine and

611
00:37:12.360 --> 00:37:14.480
I are here alone. Only you can save us.

612
00:37:14.880 --> 00:37:18.559
Give me that phone, Father Daily, this is Catherine Zenus.

613
00:37:19.800 --> 00:37:22.920
There are two creatures outside the library window right now.

614
00:37:23.400 --> 00:37:24.480
They're not real people.

615
00:37:24.519 --> 00:37:27.880
Father, I have a very strong feeling they're not human.

616
00:37:30.400 --> 00:37:31.039
At this moment.

617
00:37:31.079 --> 00:37:33.079
They are pressing their faces against the glass of the

618
00:37:33.119 --> 00:37:36.000
library window. The hands are clawing at the glasses. If

619
00:37:36.000 --> 00:37:40.760
they wanted to break through it. Yes, yes, it is, father,

620
00:37:40.880 --> 00:37:44.880
Come quickly, help us, help us. They're raising their hands

621
00:37:44.880 --> 00:37:48.559
now and pounding at the glass.

622
00:37:51.239 --> 00:37:53.679
We ran out the back door into the raging, storming night,

623
00:37:53.840 --> 00:37:56.320
lashed by rain, not knowing which way to escape. The

624
00:37:56.400 --> 00:37:58.800
only path through the garden led right to the mausoleum,

625
00:37:58.920 --> 00:38:01.559
and before we could stop us, we were practically on

626
00:38:01.599 --> 00:38:02.840
top of it.

627
00:38:02.840 --> 00:38:03.280
It's there.

628
00:38:03.880 --> 00:38:05.480
It's standing at the door of the ball.

629
00:38:05.679 --> 00:38:06.599
Wrab my hand chasing.

630
00:38:06.840 --> 00:38:07.880
Hold on, We'll run.

631
00:38:07.760 --> 00:38:08.199
For the brook.

632
00:38:08.400 --> 00:38:11.039
Where are we going into the water? Come on, it's

633
00:38:11.039 --> 00:38:13.800
not deeve, Catherine, we can walk it. Stay in the

634
00:38:13.840 --> 00:38:16.159
middle of the brook with me. You see, these evil

635
00:38:16.159 --> 00:38:19.360
spirits cannot follow humans into water. If we just keep moving,

636
00:38:19.519 --> 00:38:21.039
it'll give up. I'm sure of it.

637
00:38:21.199 --> 00:38:22.599
Oh, I hope you're right.

638
00:38:23.320 --> 00:38:25.280
It's got to give up before I do.

639
00:38:30.400 --> 00:38:34.280
I was right. The thing gave up finally, and by

640
00:38:34.320 --> 00:38:36.400
the time we'd climbed to shore, it had gone.

641
00:38:37.079 --> 00:38:37.239
There.

642
00:38:37.280 --> 00:38:40.199
We stood the rain beating down on us from above,

643
00:38:41.320 --> 00:38:45.360
and our legs and clothes soaked from the brook. Somehow

644
00:38:46.199 --> 00:38:49.360
we found the main road to town and ran towards it.

645
00:38:50.400 --> 00:38:52.880
There's a car coming, let's see headlights.

646
00:38:53.119 --> 00:38:54.599
Let's stand at the wast side of the road. I

647
00:38:54.639 --> 00:38:56.079
have to staying alive this long. I don't want to

648
00:38:56.079 --> 00:38:58.119
be hit by a car.

649
00:38:59.440 --> 00:39:02.760
Serve you, Catherine, What are you doing out here?

650
00:39:02.800 --> 00:39:02.920
Oh?

651
00:39:03.000 --> 00:39:04.960
Father, Daily, don't answer me.

652
00:39:05.119 --> 00:39:07.079
Just get in. We've got to get back to the house.

653
00:39:07.119 --> 00:39:09.360
All right, all right, all right, close the door, les

654
00:39:09.400 --> 00:39:12.480
go Now tell me you two, what are you doing

655
00:39:12.599 --> 00:39:13.440
standing in the road?

656
00:39:13.519 --> 00:39:14.599
Went from head to toe.

657
00:39:15.000 --> 00:39:17.840
We ran from the house to get away from they

658
00:39:17.880 --> 00:39:20.280
actually broke through a plate glass window.

659
00:39:20.880 --> 00:39:23.599
It's smoothed, peculiar, peculiar.

660
00:39:24.159 --> 00:39:25.119
It was horrifying.

661
00:39:25.760 --> 00:39:28.719
Why do you say that, father, because the spirit of

662
00:39:28.840 --> 00:39:34.119
Joshua Tree and his familiar are not after either of you.

663
00:39:34.480 --> 00:39:36.039
While they certainly gave a good imitation.

664
00:39:36.159 --> 00:39:39.679
Now you don't seem to understand these creatures, the dead

665
00:39:40.360 --> 00:39:44.280
and the spirit they've called up. There's satanic twin. In fact,

666
00:39:44.840 --> 00:39:49.280
they're not after living persons. They're on the constant lookout for.

667
00:39:49.280 --> 00:39:50.199
The newly dead.

668
00:39:50.599 --> 00:39:53.159
Well you see the broken library window, and then tell

669
00:39:53.159 --> 00:39:55.079
me if there aren't exceptions.

670
00:39:55.840 --> 00:39:56.360
Where are they?

671
00:39:56.400 --> 00:39:56.679
Now?

672
00:39:57.119 --> 00:39:59.559
It's time my wrestle with the devil.

673
00:40:00.480 --> 00:40:01.159
What will you do?

674
00:40:01.719 --> 00:40:05.800
I shall quiet the demons with my crucifix. There's only

675
00:40:05.840 --> 00:40:09.000
one way to drive out Satan, and the Church has

676
00:40:09.039 --> 00:40:17.880
been doing it for centuries. Oh, Father, look, the vault

677
00:40:17.880 --> 00:40:18.400
door's open.

678
00:40:18.440 --> 00:40:24.960
Someone's coming out God, someone for some fiends carrying out

679
00:40:24.960 --> 00:40:25.960
your uncle's coffin.

680
00:40:27.000 --> 00:40:27.360
Stop.

681
00:40:28.119 --> 00:40:31.840
I charge you, d fiends of hades. Tha has entertained

682
00:40:31.840 --> 00:40:37.719
familiarity with Satan, the grand enemy of God. I charge you.

683
00:40:37.760 --> 00:40:39.800
Put down that body and begind.

684
00:40:42.719 --> 00:40:46.079
Father Daily advanced upon the two creatures holding his crucifix

685
00:40:46.119 --> 00:40:48.719
in front of him, the familiar and the spirit of

686
00:40:48.760 --> 00:40:51.719
the murdered Joshua Tree halted, released the coffin and ran

687
00:40:52.320 --> 00:40:54.960
Father Daily, and I carried Uncle George back inside the

688
00:40:55.039 --> 00:40:58.280
vault and closed the doors. It came to me in

689
00:40:58.320 --> 00:41:02.880
a flash, the oak tree. It was there we would

690
00:41:02.880 --> 00:41:04.280
find the source of the evil.

691
00:41:06.039 --> 00:41:10.920
You were right, Savior. I can see her shadows. I'll

692
00:41:10.960 --> 00:41:12.599
hold them back with my crucifix.

693
00:41:13.159 --> 00:41:18.039
Somewhere inside this oak are the remains of the man

694
00:41:18.079 --> 00:41:18.920
my uncle killed.

695
00:41:19.119 --> 00:41:21.400
When we find that, I suspect he'll be wrapped in

696
00:41:21.440 --> 00:41:22.719
that long kp war.

697
00:41:23.800 --> 00:41:26.360
There's a sizeable hole on the far side. When I

698
00:41:26.400 --> 00:41:29.519
first came here last April, my uncle was up there,

699
00:41:29.559 --> 00:41:33.159
cementing up some holes, since he knew Joshua Tree's body

700
00:41:33.199 --> 00:41:36.599
had been taken from the mausoleum by the Familiar. Your

701
00:41:36.719 --> 00:41:41.239
uncle might have suspected it was in this tree. I

702
00:41:41.280 --> 00:41:44.039
don't look forward to finding a pile of decomposed bones.

703
00:41:45.159 --> 00:41:47.360
What do we do with them? Father? Bone them?

704
00:41:48.239 --> 00:41:51.159
I'm glad Catherine's in the house. Then the how she

705
00:41:51.199 --> 00:41:52.639
would react to a funeral pyre?

706
00:41:53.440 --> 00:41:57.239
We have no choice, the.

707
00:41:57.400 --> 00:42:02.719
Father, the Familiar, It's still the Yeah, It's minutes on

708
00:42:02.880 --> 00:42:07.000
earth are numbered. Once we have destroyed the body of

709
00:42:07.119 --> 00:42:11.320
Joshua Tree. What held it here no longer exists, and

710
00:42:11.360 --> 00:42:13.559
the Familiar must return to.

711
00:42:13.519 --> 00:42:14.480
The black beyond.

712
00:42:14.960 --> 00:42:18.199
And Uncle George must have known that his body could

713
00:42:18.199 --> 00:42:22.159
be invaded after death, and he would have had to

714
00:42:22.280 --> 00:42:25.159
walk the earth forever with this Familiar.

715
00:42:25.559 --> 00:42:28.880
When I find the remains, I shall light the fire

716
00:42:28.960 --> 00:42:32.280
to them and hold high the cross.

717
00:42:32.559 --> 00:42:34.039
But what about Uncle George.

718
00:42:34.480 --> 00:42:38.840
I shall go back into the mausoleum and bless the coffin,

719
00:42:40.320 --> 00:42:45.960
requiescat in pache.

720
00:42:51.920 --> 00:42:55.119
I'll be back shortly. With a final thought.

721
00:42:58.559 --> 00:43:02.480
The flames consumed phantoms from the grave, and the Good

722
00:43:02.519 --> 00:43:07.039
Father returned to the tomb and blessed the coffin. Will

723
00:43:07.079 --> 00:43:11.360
there be deliverance for the uncle released from wandering the earth?

724
00:43:11.880 --> 00:43:15.719
Oh? Yes, But in the dimension of the beyond, will.

725
00:43:15.480 --> 00:43:19.440
The spirit of the murdered sorcerer allow his murderer to

726
00:43:19.559 --> 00:43:23.920
exist in peace? Or will Uncle George discover his eternal

727
00:43:24.000 --> 00:43:30.280
torture is just beginning. Our cast included Christopher Tabori, Fred

728
00:43:30.360 --> 00:43:33.440
Gwynn Court Benson, and Betsy Beard.

729
00:43:34.039 --> 00:43:36.519
Associate director Marlon Swing.

730
00:43:37.519 --> 00:43:42.159
This is Hymen Brown, producer director, inviting you to return

731
00:43:42.199 --> 00:43:46.440
to our mystery theater for another adventure in the Macarbre.

732
00:43:47.239 --> 00:44:08.199
Until next time, then pleasant dream.

733
00:44:12.400 --> 00:44:16.639
Well, my dear, it does seem a bit colder than

734
00:44:16.679 --> 00:44:22.079
I would expect for this time of year. I suppose

735
00:44:22.559 --> 00:44:30.159
winter is almost here, a time to reflect and of

736
00:44:30.239 --> 00:44:35.599
course drink something warm. But I can't help but think

737
00:44:36.719 --> 00:44:41.760
how odd it must be for those people were their

738
00:44:42.519 --> 00:44:48.760
how swarming? Why I can't imagine any other way to

739
00:44:48.920 --> 00:44:53.519
keep the chill out than to curl up in the

740
00:44:53.639 --> 00:44:55.719
funeral fires.

741
00:44:56.760 --> 00:45:03.119
You finding life rather dull, dreaming again of exotic places,

742
00:45:04.000 --> 00:45:05.400
wishing you were somewhere else.

743
00:45:06.519 --> 00:45:25.840
We offer you escape.

744
00:45:26.840 --> 00:45:29.920
Escape with us now to Malea, where a young doctor

745
00:45:30.000 --> 00:45:32.440
and a beautiful girl are faced with the horrors of

746
00:45:32.559 --> 00:45:36.360
plague and the bloody holocaust of a native revolt, As

747
00:45:36.480 --> 00:45:37.960
Charles Israel tells.

748
00:45:37.760 --> 00:45:58.000
It, in funeral fires, they were burning the dead.

749
00:45:59.000 --> 00:46:01.679
The column of flame sucked up against the night sky

750
00:46:01.760 --> 00:46:08.400
of the river town leaned against it, held, and from

751
00:46:08.440 --> 00:46:13.000
far away the dirge and Melee is mourning They're dead,

752
00:46:14.119 --> 00:46:18.559
then drifting down to the landing where I stood. Somehow

753
00:46:18.599 --> 00:46:28.199
the word always the word in Melee and Chinese and English, plague.

754
00:46:28.480 --> 00:46:35.519
Plague had come to Lapour, plague. That's why I was here,

755
00:46:36.840 --> 00:46:40.519
all the way from Delhi. I'd come my plague CEREMONI

756
00:46:42.239 --> 00:46:44.519
The police lieutenant who met me at the rickety little

757
00:46:44.519 --> 00:46:48.199
wharf had been there for five days already. He was

758
00:46:48.320 --> 00:46:51.199
very young, and he didn't like his job.

759
00:46:51.880 --> 00:46:54.719
Read the awful showvice, don't you think so, sir?

760
00:46:55.079 --> 00:46:56.280
And it's going to get worse.

761
00:46:56.679 --> 00:46:59.039
You've brought serum, so that should do the trick.

762
00:46:59.199 --> 00:47:01.440
It should, But it's not that easy. Every time a

763
00:47:01.559 --> 00:47:03.800
native season needle, he takes off for the hills, thinks

764
00:47:03.800 --> 00:47:06.480
it's something. They kill him quicker, and not these natives, sir.

765
00:47:06.519 --> 00:47:09.400
There was a plague epidemic here about fifteen years ago,

766
00:47:09.719 --> 00:47:12.880
Sarah and wiped it out The natives call it foreign

767
00:47:13.119 --> 00:47:15.039
devil medicine, but they respect him.

768
00:47:15.079 --> 00:47:16.800
That's good, and we'll save us some time.

769
00:47:17.280 --> 00:47:19.920
There'll be a boy here in a minute for your luggage.

770
00:47:20.800 --> 00:47:23.880
I'm glad you've finally arrived, sir. It's good to have

771
00:47:23.880 --> 00:47:24.519
a doctor here.

772
00:47:25.159 --> 00:47:27.719
I told me there was a doctor here, a doctor Grimes,

773
00:47:28.480 --> 00:47:32.119
it says, doctor and his son, Sir, fine, need his help.

774
00:47:32.960 --> 00:47:34.519
I wouldn't count on it, sir.

775
00:47:35.400 --> 00:47:35.760
Why not?

776
00:47:36.400 --> 00:47:37.159
You will see, sir?

777
00:47:37.960 --> 00:47:38.880
What are you talking about?

778
00:47:39.159 --> 00:47:40.719
Wait till you meet doctor Grimes.

779
00:47:41.920 --> 00:47:44.639
If you want a bit of free advice, sir, I'd

780
00:47:44.639 --> 00:47:46.199
rely more on miss Randall.

781
00:47:46.920 --> 00:47:50.079
Miss Randall, who's she an American?

782
00:47:50.119 --> 00:47:50.320
Sir?

783
00:47:50.880 --> 00:47:52.960
An American? Or what's she doing here?

784
00:47:53.519 --> 00:47:54.360
I don't know, sir.

785
00:47:54.440 --> 00:47:56.840
But she walked in and took over the whole ruddy show,

786
00:47:57.440 --> 00:48:01.480
converted an old warehouse into a hospital. Been slaving day night.

787
00:48:02.000 --> 00:48:02.679
Wonderful, sir.

788
00:48:05.119 --> 00:48:07.920
Yeah, someone's calling you, Lieutenant.

789
00:48:08.880 --> 00:48:12.519
He'll find me who competriot of yours?

790
00:48:13.119 --> 00:48:15.960
Oh there you are the tenant. I've looked all over

791
00:48:16.039 --> 00:48:19.880
town for you. Now, I'd like to know who's allowed

792
00:48:19.880 --> 00:48:23.719
all this. You're responsible for this, lieutenant, responsible for what?

793
00:48:23.920 --> 00:48:25.000
Mister Ford for this?

794
00:48:25.079 --> 00:48:25.239
Here?

795
00:48:25.360 --> 00:48:26.280
Funeral business.

796
00:48:26.719 --> 00:48:29.480
Every native in Lapa down there by that fire.

797
00:48:29.599 --> 00:48:31.599
Is there anything wrong with that? Mister Ford.

798
00:48:31.920 --> 00:48:35.480
I'll tell the world there's something wrong my whole night.

799
00:48:36.079 --> 00:48:39.519
Every last man down there singing and carrying on.

800
00:48:39.800 --> 00:48:41.320
I'm afraid I can't stop them.

801
00:48:41.360 --> 00:48:44.679
Mister Ford, you'd better stop the lieutenant get down there

802
00:48:44.719 --> 00:48:45.920
and send them back on the job.

803
00:48:46.000 --> 00:48:49.559
You can't stop them for it. Eh, who are you?

804
00:48:49.920 --> 00:48:52.039
My name is Donovan, Doctor Mark Donovan.

805
00:48:52.239 --> 00:48:54.679
So your name is Donovan, So that don't give you

806
00:48:54.760 --> 00:49:00.719

That's right.

Well, now that's different stake heads, Doc, Holy smoke.

809
00:49:06.440 --> 00:49:07.400

Ford?

811
00:49:08.519 --> 00:49:09.360
Is my mom the cake?

812
00:49:10.159 --> 00:49:12.199
That name is American as the hole in the life

813
00:49:12.199 --> 00:49:14.840
saver oscar our Ford, Cleveland, Ohio.

814
00:49:15.440 --> 00:49:16.360
Ever been to Cleveland?

815
00:49:16.400 --> 00:49:16.599
Doc?

816
00:49:17.079 --> 00:49:18.719
What are you doing in lapour Ford?

817
00:49:18.920 --> 00:49:22.400
Rubber on a rubber plantation in near Air. That's outfit

818
00:49:22.480 --> 00:49:25.559
and the whole shbang. And you know why, Doc, because

819
00:49:25.599 --> 00:49:30.840
it's run by an American. That's why efficient table say, say, Doc,

820
00:49:30.880 --> 00:49:31.800
you'll get my man back to work.

821

Quotch it.

822

I'm here to wipe out plague and lapour for it?

823
00:49:35.320 --> 00:49:36.719
Oh shure, Doc, that's what I mean.

824
00:49:36.960 --> 00:49:37.840
Wipe out the plague.

825
00:49:38.559 --> 00:49:40.760
We'll show them, Doc, and if you need help, you

826
00:49:40.800 --> 00:49:42.159
can count on Oscar our Ford.

827
00:49:42.760 --> 00:49:43.679
Remember that, Doc.

828
00:49:43.840 --> 00:49:49.320
Yeah, I'll call you when I need you, Lieutenant. Yes, sir,

829
00:49:49.360 --> 00:49:50.920
I'll be going over to the hospital right.

830
00:49:51.440 --> 00:49:53.320
Straight down this road, so accomplish it.

831
00:49:53.599 --> 00:49:55.159
Thanks. I'll let you know when we're ready to set

832
00:49:55.199 --> 00:50:01.440
up our serum station, right to ourselve. I left him

833
00:50:01.440 --> 00:50:06.639
standing there with Ford and walked through the town. Everywhere

834
00:50:06.679 --> 00:50:11.360
I turned, I brushed against death, got into my nostrils,

835
00:50:11.400 --> 00:50:15.480
crept into the landing of my clothes. The deserted streets

836
00:50:15.519 --> 00:50:18.079
shrieked of it, so that a ravaged face seeing through

837
00:50:18.079 --> 00:50:22.960
the door of a straw hot plague, and only the

838
00:50:23.000 --> 00:50:27.239
Sarah had brought with me could stop it. I walked

839
00:50:27.239 --> 00:50:29.519
into the warehouse that had been converted into a hospital,

840
00:50:31.639 --> 00:50:34.840
rows of people lying on the wooden floor, hundreds of

841
00:50:34.880 --> 00:50:41.320
them dying and the dead. And I saw her, a

842
00:50:41.360 --> 00:50:44.599
lieutenants girl on her knees beside a dying man.

843
00:50:46.000 --> 00:50:49.920
She looked up at me, hand me that cloth, please,

844
00:50:51.280 --> 00:50:55.559
this one, No, not that one there in the basin.

845
00:50:56.480 --> 00:51:02.880
Bring out the water first, Miss Randal. Yes, what do

846
00:51:02.880 --> 00:51:03.400
you want.

847
00:51:04.760 --> 00:51:07.760
My name is Mark Donovan. I'm just coming from Deli.

848
00:51:08.159 --> 00:51:09.480
That's fine, I'm busy.

849
00:51:10.360 --> 00:51:11.400
I'm a doctor.

850
00:51:11.559 --> 00:51:13.719
Did you bring the serum with you? Yes, well get

851
00:51:13.760 --> 00:51:14.039
it and.

852
00:51:14.000 --> 00:51:18.159
Get to work, Miss Randal. I'm in charge here now.

853
00:51:21.400 --> 00:51:25.280
I'm sorry. It's just that I'm tired.

854
00:51:25.440 --> 00:51:31.000
I know I need your help. We're going to set

855
00:51:31.039 --> 00:51:31.880
up a serum station.

856
00:51:32.199 --> 00:51:34.039
It's about time. When do we start?

857
00:51:34.039 --> 00:51:36.880
As soon as we can get organized. Oh, by the way,

858
00:51:36.880 --> 00:51:42.039
miss Randall, is doctor Grimes, Iran the rum pot, the

859
00:51:42.280 --> 00:51:43.599
resident medical officer.

860
00:51:44.719 --> 00:51:45.559
Look, if you.

861
00:51:45.559 --> 00:51:48.559
Want to find Grimes, there's only one gin parlor lapour.

862
00:51:49.000 --> 00:51:50.400

He'll be there, thanks, Miss Randall. Yes, get yourself from

00:51:58.440 --> 00:52:01.000

865
00:52:01.639 --> 00:52:17.719
As soon as they stopped dying.

866
00:52:19.079 --> 00:52:21.840
Hey there, boy, you seen doctor Grimes.

867
00:52:21.960 --> 00:52:22.800
Doctor Grimes.

868
00:52:23.639 --> 00:52:27.480
You will find him the sort at the corner table.

869
00:52:28.239 --> 00:52:37.880
Thank you, your doctor Grimes.

870
00:52:38.559 --> 00:52:40.960
What im who wants to know?

871
00:52:42.519 --> 00:52:45.800
I'm doctor Mark Donovan, World Health Organization. I just got

872
00:52:45.800 --> 00:52:46.400
in from Delhi.

873
00:52:48.440 --> 00:52:51.159
Okay, well now that's a fancy introduction.

874
00:52:51.320 --> 00:52:57.000
Laddy, it's worth the drink, dear lady, god drink at

00:52:57.239 --> 00:53:01.960
No thanks, didn't be the laddy, No thanks, take.

00:53:05.800 --> 00:53:08.119
that'll be the ticket we toose.

878
00:53:08.280 --> 00:53:14.960
I said, no, you didn't have drink from my lane.

879
00:53:15.159 --> 00:53:17.280
But the Grimes, how soon can you be ready to

880
00:53:17.280 --> 00:53:18.440
give plague injections?

881
00:53:18.840 --> 00:53:23.400
There's no blasted plague here, young man's drunk. I say,

882
00:53:23.480 --> 00:53:24.119
there's no.

883
00:53:24.079 --> 00:53:26.719
Plague here, No plague here here.

884
00:53:27.320 --> 00:53:29.079
That's what I say, and that's what I mean.

885
00:53:29.639 --> 00:53:31.800
On Grimes, or get some coffee, ah.

886
00:53:32.360 --> 00:53:35.599
Riselin, young man, I'm in charge here.

887
00:53:35.800 --> 00:53:37.119
Let's go, Grimes.

888
00:53:38.320 --> 00:53:39.599
Come this in the battle.

889
00:53:39.639 --> 00:53:40.440
Report on me?

890
00:53:40.559 --> 00:53:40.960
Have you not?

891
00:53:41.719 --> 00:53:41.920
Hey?

892
00:53:42.840 --> 00:53:44.000
Well, ye'll no do it?

893
00:53:44.360 --> 00:53:47.880
I said, come on, hey, I'm coming, young man, I

894
00:53:47.920 --> 00:53:48.679
ain't coming.

895
00:53:49.239 --> 00:53:58.599
Put coming to get up here.

896
00:54:01.519 --> 00:54:05.360
You send a bad report on you know?

897
00:54:05.639 --> 00:54:08.440
He tell me you won't get up?

898
00:54:12.679 --> 00:54:15.480
No, what is it you want from?

899
00:54:15.559 --> 00:54:19.119
Already? Meet me at the hospital in one hour we're

900
00:54:19.119 --> 00:54:20.599
gonna begin shooting seum.

901
00:54:20.519 --> 00:54:23.519
I anything you see have you wanted? If you please,

902
00:54:23.679 --> 00:54:27.800
no body report, just be there. I'll be there.

903
00:54:32.440 --> 00:54:35.800
I looked back at him. He was standing propped up

904
00:54:35.800 --> 00:54:39.079
against the table, staring at me, and he was grinning

905
00:54:39.119 --> 00:54:46.239
like a great evil cat, grinning. I walked through the

906
00:54:46.280 --> 00:54:52.400
swinging doors into the street, outside was silence, the cool

907
00:54:52.559 --> 00:54:58.199
silence just before dawn. I stood there, letting it surround me.

908
00:55:01.280 --> 00:55:04.079
Don't be rude, mister Wull.

909
00:55:04.159 --> 00:55:08.119
He stood barring my way. On his shoulder was perched

910
00:55:08.119 --> 00:55:12.840
a tiny black monkey. The Chinese laned his face close

911
00:55:12.920 --> 00:55:13.360
to mine.

912
00:55:13.880 --> 00:55:16.719
Please to talk with me, and if you are kind,

913
00:55:16.880 --> 00:55:17.920
also with mister Woo.

914
00:55:18.960 --> 00:55:21.000
Another time, I'm in a big hurry.

915
00:55:21.079 --> 00:55:24.360
Mister Wu is my greatest friend, the ruler of king

916
00:55:24.599 --> 00:55:25.559
Post pet shop.

917
00:55:26.039 --> 00:55:26.760
I am cool.

918
00:55:27.000 --> 00:55:31.639
I'm sorry, No, Doctor Donavan. It is to save your

919
00:55:31.719 --> 00:55:34.440
life that I desire to enter into conversation.

920
00:55:35.280 --> 00:55:36.199
How do you know my name?

921
00:55:36.599 --> 00:55:41.039
I know many things. Please to talk with me, all right,

922
00:55:42.440 --> 00:55:46.440
make it quick. To waste time is not Countess wish.

923
00:55:47.039 --> 00:55:49.440
The old time is his greatest ambition.

924
00:55:49.960 --> 00:55:51.519
This is not mister Wu.

925
00:55:52.679 --> 00:55:53.400
I had, mister Khan.

926
00:55:53.960 --> 00:55:59.079
My father was Chinese. My mother maybe what did Chinese

927
00:55:59.159 --> 00:56:03.119
in love poor choose not to tell? I learned from

928
00:56:03.159 --> 00:56:05.800
the family of my mother. Look, mister Kung, if you

929
00:56:06.079 --> 00:56:10.559
value your life, leave lapour live at once.

930
00:56:11.199 --> 00:56:12.960
What are you talking about? Why should I leave?

931
00:56:14.840 --> 00:56:16.400
Mister says is tied.

932
00:56:17.119 --> 00:56:19.239
Just a minute, mister Kung, we haven't finished talking yet.

933
00:56:19.280 --> 00:56:23.159
Another time, mother, doctor mister w says he must go. Now,

934
00:56:23.480 --> 00:56:24.760
say goodbye, mister Wool.

935
00:56:28.880 --> 00:56:33.239
He backed away from me, nodding and bowing, the monkey

936
00:56:33.239 --> 00:56:37.079
on his shoulder doing the same. I turned and started

937
00:56:37.079 --> 00:56:42.000
for the hotel. Dawn was coming, The funeral fires were spent,

938
00:56:42.119 --> 00:56:45.519
the dirges finished, the meleas gone back to their huts

939
00:56:45.519 --> 00:56:49.960
to sleep. It was almost daylight when I climbed the

940
00:56:50.000 --> 00:57:01.000
stairs and walked down the hall to my room.

941
00:57:01.039 --> 00:57:03.039
I've been waiting for you. Where have you been?

942
00:57:04.400 --> 00:57:05.800
What are you doing here? Miss Randall?

943
00:57:06.480 --> 00:57:07.920
I'm here. That's enough.

944
00:57:08.000 --> 00:57:09.840
I asked you why you're here to.

945
00:57:09.880 --> 00:57:12.719
Help with the serum. You're going to need help, aren't you.

946
00:57:14.199 --> 00:57:14.440
Yes?

947
00:57:14.599 --> 00:57:19.400
Good, Well, do we get the serum.

948
00:57:19.760 --> 00:57:22.639
Remind me to ask you a question, miss Randal, like

949
00:57:22.719 --> 00:57:25.000
what like what brought you to Lapoort.

950
00:57:25.840 --> 00:57:28.920
I'll remind you the serum doctor all.

951
00:57:28.880 --> 00:57:30.960
Right, he's here in this closet.

952
00:57:32.960 --> 00:57:41.400
Ah, Yes, doctor, what's the matter? Doctor? H I said,

953
00:57:41.440 --> 00:57:42.159
what's the matter with you?

954
00:57:44.280 --> 00:57:45.320
The serum?

955
00:57:45.519 --> 00:57:47.400
What about it?

956
00:57:47.400 --> 00:58:01.880
It's been stolen?

957
00:58:02.039 --> 00:58:05.519
Escape under the direction of Norman McDonald returns. In just

958
00:58:05.599 --> 00:58:09.719
a moment, the new CBS comedy star Frank Fontaine will

959
00:58:09.719 --> 00:58:12.159
pay a visit to CBS is Jack Benny this evening,

960
00:58:12.559 --> 00:58:15.000
the young comedian who celebrated for his impression of a

961
00:58:15.000 --> 00:58:17.800
sweepstakes winner and for his other impressions, will be given

962
00:58:17.840 --> 00:58:20.559
a royal welcome, even though Jack believes in buying a

963
00:58:20.559 --> 00:58:23.800
sweepstakes ticket only when a single horse is in the race.

964
00:58:24.360 --> 00:58:27.599
Mary Dennis, Don, Phil and Rochester will be on hand too.

965
00:58:27.760 --> 00:58:30.199
So join the fund that only that Jack Benny show

966
00:58:30.199 --> 00:58:42.480
can bring tonight on CBS. Now back to Escape.

967
00:58:49.360 --> 00:58:51.800
When they sent me from Delhi to Lapoor, they said

968
00:58:51.840 --> 00:58:55.840
it was plague, and they said it was bad. Now

969
00:58:55.840 --> 00:58:57.519
I was here and it was the way they said

970
00:58:57.519 --> 00:59:01.960
it would be plague and bad. Only from here on

971
00:59:02.079 --> 00:59:04.039
it was going to be worse because the serum I

972
00:59:04.079 --> 00:59:06.559
had brought with me was gone. Someone had stolen it

973
00:59:06.559 --> 00:59:09.880
from the closet where I'd locked it, someone who wanted

974
00:59:09.920 --> 00:59:13.920
to keep the plague in Lapour. I stood there in

975
00:59:13.960 --> 00:59:17.199
my hotel room, staring into the empty closet.

976
00:59:17.920 --> 00:59:19.719
How long are you going to stand there? Doctor?

977
00:59:20.920 --> 00:59:21.840
I can't believe it.

978
00:59:22.239 --> 00:59:23.880
Face it, there's no serrum.

979
00:59:23.920 --> 00:59:25.360
Well it was there. I put it there myself, right

980
00:59:25.400 --> 00:59:25.920
next to that Bromo.

981
00:59:26.000 --> 00:59:28.880
Quite nine cold tablets won't stop a plague, doctor, I said,

982
00:59:28.920 --> 00:59:29.480
I put it there.

983
00:59:29.639 --> 00:59:31.800
I heard you, but I don't have to believe you.

984
00:59:32.320 --> 00:59:33.360
I don't care what you believe.

985
00:59:34.119 --> 00:59:36.559
Maybe you sold the serum before you ever came to Lapour.

986
00:59:36.920 --> 00:59:38.559
Maybe you're trying to cover yourself sold it.

987
00:59:38.559 --> 00:59:39.440
Why would I want to do that?

988
00:59:39.480 --> 00:59:41.079
How do I know why you'd sell it? You would

989
00:59:41.079 --> 00:59:41.559
have an angle?

990
00:59:42.920 --> 00:59:44.800
All right? You said what you wanted to say. Get out,

991
00:59:45.480 --> 00:59:49.599
all right, I'm going quite a minute. I'll ask you

992
00:59:49.599 --> 00:59:50.599
a question and I'll.

993
00:59:50.440 --> 00:59:53.400
Give you an answer. The police lift tenant. That's where

994
00:59:53.440 --> 00:59:53.880
I'm going.

995
00:59:55.800 --> 00:59:57.679
How long were you in my room before I got here?

996
00:59:57.760 --> 00:59:58.880
I'm going to the police. Doctor.

997
00:59:58.920 --> 00:59:59.719
How long were you here?

998
01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:00.760
You won't get out of it.

999
01:00:00.880 --> 01:00:01.280
How long?

1000
01:00:01.559 --> 01:00:05.360
I don't know. Fifteen minutes, maybe twenty, not.

1001
01:00:05.400 --> 01:00:08.079
Very long long enough to take the serum yourself.

1002
01:00:09.320 --> 01:00:11.880
Sure I was here that long, long enough.

1003
01:00:11.679 --> 01:00:13.119
To hide it and then come back here.

1004
01:00:13.280 --> 01:00:17.719
You're forgetting something like what I had no reason to

1005
01:00:17.760 --> 01:00:18.119
take it.

1006
01:00:18.480 --> 01:00:22.079
You've got a reason, like what what are you doing

1007
01:00:22.159 --> 01:00:22.679
in Lapore?

1008
01:00:23.639 --> 01:00:24.599
Maybe I write books?

1009
01:00:24.599 --> 01:00:26.559
Maybe a steal serum.

1010
01:00:27.119 --> 01:00:31.440
You'd better get that serum back, doctor. There are people dying.

1011
01:00:31.760 --> 01:00:32.719
It's your fault.

1012
01:00:33.320 --> 01:00:36.039
Get it back. Goodbye? Doctor.

1013
01:00:39.400 --> 01:00:42.000
And I had a couple of things to do. Ask

1014
01:00:42.039 --> 01:00:45.800
the lieutenant to organize a search, patrol, cable DELI for

1015
01:00:45.880 --> 01:00:49.679
more serum. Four days it would take to get here,

1016
01:00:49.800 --> 01:00:53.800
four days of raging death. Because I had no serum.

1017
01:00:53.840 --> 01:00:56.159
People would die before the sun went down. People didn't

1018
01:00:56.199 --> 01:01:00.840
have to die. And miss Randall had said it it

1019
01:01:01.000 --> 01:01:12.320
was my fault. All right, Just a minute, Master, you

1020
01:01:12.440 --> 01:01:14.519
new move you listen? Who are you?

1021
01:01:15.559 --> 01:01:16.960
Number one boy? In chapter one?

1022
01:01:17.000 --> 01:01:20.199
Conte Conte, oh the old man with a monkey?

1023
01:01:20.599 --> 01:01:21.920
That same Conte?

1024
01:01:22.840 --> 01:01:24.079
All right? Got a message?

1025
01:01:24.239 --> 01:01:24.400
Was it?

1026
01:01:25.039 --> 01:01:30.000
CONTI say, Master, fire, pay five dollars here message?

1027
01:01:31.119 --> 01:01:34.320
Yeah, Now what's the message?

1028
01:01:34.639 --> 01:01:37.880
CONTI say you, no, Master, have trouble. CONTI say, Master,

1029
01:01:38.199 --> 01:01:38.719
come see him?

1030
01:01:38.760 --> 01:01:39.199
Chops up?

1031
01:01:39.800 --> 01:01:41.079
No cup chops up? Too late?

1032
01:01:41.800 --> 01:01:43.599
Him say him, tops up, chop up Master.

1033
01:01:47.199 --> 01:01:49.920
Anything was worth a try. I found Conte's pet shop

1034
01:01:49.920 --> 01:01:53.000
and a narrow, musty street just off the marketplace. It

1035
01:01:53.039 --> 01:01:54.960
wasn't difficult to pick out because there was a crowd

1036
01:01:55.039 --> 01:01:58.000
jammed around the door holding them backward. Two melee police.

1037
01:01:58.360 --> 01:02:00.000
I pushed through the crowd and up to the open.

1038
01:02:00.519 --> 01:02:01.199
Oh, good morning.

1039
01:02:01.800 --> 01:02:04.320
I didn't expect to see you. That's always a bad lieutenant.

1040
01:02:04.639 --> 01:02:08.519
You haven't heard south. What about the unpleasantness?

1041
01:02:08.559 --> 01:02:10.199
What unpleasantness? What are you trying to tell me?

1042
01:02:10.519 --> 01:02:11.960
You'd better come inside.

1043
01:02:11.599 --> 01:02:12.280
With me, sir.

1044
01:02:15.760 --> 01:02:18.960
Ah, that's this unpleasantness you're talking about.

1045
01:02:19.480 --> 01:02:21.599
I'd have her there, sir in the corner.

1046
01:02:25.039 --> 01:02:29.960
Conte. What happened, Lieutenant.

1047
01:02:29.840 --> 01:02:34.800
Murder a large caliber bullet? I'd say, probably are forty five?

1048
01:02:36.079 --> 01:02:37.480
You want to examine himself?

1049
01:02:37.880 --> 01:02:39.559
That won't be necessary, so.

1050
01:02:41.400 --> 01:02:46.960
You know, I can't understand it what you see beside yourself.

1051
01:02:47.440 --> 01:02:51.679
There are only three foreigners in the pool standle, mister

1052
01:02:51.719 --> 01:02:52.719
Ford and doctor Gray.

1053
01:02:52.880 --> 01:02:55.079
Well, well that's it, sir.

1054
01:02:56.039 --> 01:02:58.280
I should one of them want to kill the old man?

1055
01:02:59.760 --> 01:03:00.159
I know?

1056
01:03:00.280 --> 01:03:01.679
Is one of them weapon?

1057
01:03:02.760 --> 01:03:06.599
Native skill with a knife for a rope, a steel rope.

1058
01:03:06.639 --> 01:03:09.719
Never with a gun. Yes, that's interesting, lieutenant. And there's

1059
01:03:09.719 --> 01:03:14.239
something else I don't think natives do, if their steel serum.

1060
01:03:14.639 --> 01:03:17.400
I meant to ask you about the serum, sir. Miss

1061
01:03:17.559 --> 01:03:21.000
Randal mentioned it to me. There's going to be trouble, sir,

1062
01:03:21.280 --> 01:03:24.840
with Miss Randall, with the native Sir. I told you

1063
01:03:24.880 --> 01:03:28.079
they were waiting for medicine. Somehow it's gotten out of them.

1064
01:03:28.599 --> 01:03:30.760
They know you don't have the syrum.

1065
01:03:30.519 --> 01:03:34.960
Are right, Lieutenant, it's been stolen. Look, I want all

1066
01:03:34.960 --> 01:03:36.920
the figners in the poor at your office an hour

1067
01:03:36.920 --> 01:03:37.280
from now.

1068
01:03:38.159 --> 01:03:44.079
You arrange it, Yes, sir, you will think there's some connection.

1069
01:03:43.840 --> 01:03:46.760
Between the murder and the serum maybe, and you have

1070
01:03:46.880 --> 01:03:47.440
them there.

1071
01:03:47.440 --> 01:03:49.880
If you don't mind my saying so this sounds like

1072
01:03:49.880 --> 01:03:50.639
a police matter.

1073
01:03:50.679 --> 01:03:55.320
You're wrong, Lieutenant. It's medical, strictly medical under the stancer.

1074
01:03:55.400 --> 01:03:57.199
You will just get those people to your office.

1075
01:03:57.239 --> 01:04:01.880
And yes, sir, little mister Ford and doctor.

1076
01:04:01.599 --> 01:04:04.440
Grimes, you forgot somebody left in it?

1077
01:04:05.320 --> 01:04:05.800
Who, sir?

1078
01:04:06.800 --> 01:04:16.000
You Lisa? I right, I forgot, sir. I turned and

1079
01:04:16.039 --> 01:04:18.400
walked out of the shop into the street. I had

1080
01:04:18.400 --> 01:04:20.960
trouble getting through the crowd. Didn't mean much. When somebody

1081
01:04:20.960 --> 01:04:22.599
poked an elbow in my face, I could have been

1082
01:04:22.599 --> 01:04:24.519
an accident, but not The man who jumped out in

1083
01:04:24.559 --> 01:04:26.440
front of me and spat on the ground in my.

1084
01:04:26.440 --> 01:04:29.800
Feet was bizarre.

1085
01:04:31.320 --> 01:04:34.960
This was no accident. This was meant for me. All

1086
01:04:35.000 --> 01:04:38.239
at once. They were silent, watching me, and from the

1087
01:04:38.320 --> 01:04:41.880
hills outside the town the sound of a drum, slow, ominous,

1088
01:04:42.519 --> 01:04:46.119
and from somewhere in Lapour itself the answer urgent, threatening.

1089
01:04:47.320 --> 01:04:50.440
Finally I understood it had gotten out to the natives. Somehow,

1090
01:04:50.519 --> 01:04:52.800
the people had found out that I had lost the serum,

1091
01:04:53.079 --> 01:04:54.920
and in their minds, I was the medicine man who

1092
01:04:54.920 --> 01:04:58.119
had failed, the man who was making them die. My

1093
01:04:58.199 --> 01:05:01.000
plan for getting the serum back had to work. I

1094
01:05:01.039 --> 01:05:03.039
picked up my medical bag from the hotel, hurried to

1095
01:05:03.039 --> 01:05:06.079
the Lieutenant's office, one room wooden shack near the edge

1096
01:05:06.079 --> 01:05:08.519
of town. I had things almost set up from the

1097
01:05:08.519 --> 01:05:11.440
first person arrived. It was miss Randall.

1098
01:05:12.000 --> 01:05:14.199
What's all this about? What are you trying to do?

1099
01:05:14.639 --> 01:05:16.760
It'll take a little while, miss Randall, sit down.

1100
01:05:17.360 --> 01:05:18.840
I don't want to sit down.

1101
01:05:21.760 --> 01:05:23.960
She stood and watched me take things out of my

1102
01:05:24.079 --> 01:05:28.840
bag and placed them on the table. The hypodermic syringes, needles, alcohol,

1103
01:05:30.039 --> 01:05:35.159
and finally the little vial of colorless liquid. Then doctor

1104
01:05:35.159 --> 01:05:38.679
Grimes came in, cold, sober. He walked across the room,

1105
01:05:38.800 --> 01:05:40.199
sat down where he could look at me.

1106
01:05:40.599 --> 01:05:43.480
The need to you is no something a lottie, something

1107
01:05:43.519 --> 01:05:46.480
you didn't want them to know. They are heading this way.

1108
01:05:47.320 --> 01:05:50.239
Kay, take off.

1109
01:05:51.559 --> 01:05:53.920
With this one, sir, and you're gonna have more. So

1110
01:05:54.239 --> 01:05:57.920
help sit down for it. Why you brittle too, bit quack,

1111
01:05:58.360 --> 01:05:59.000
I said, sit.

1112
01:05:59.000 --> 01:06:04.880
Down, Well, that's Betty well, letty, you've got us all

1113
01:06:04.920 --> 01:06:07.119
here now, perhaps you'll tell us why.

1114
01:06:08.199 --> 01:06:11.199
There is an epidemic on. I'm going to inoculate all

1115
01:06:11.239 --> 01:06:12.599
of you with plague serum.

1116
01:06:12.800 --> 01:06:15.079
What are you talking about? You haven't got any.

1117
01:06:14.960 --> 01:06:17.719
Serum, just this one vial from my bag, missus Randall.

1118
01:06:17.719 --> 01:06:20.840
The rest was stolen, all right for your first roll

1119
01:06:20.920 --> 01:06:23.280
up your sleep. That's right.

1120
01:06:24.800 --> 01:06:24.920
Now.

1121
01:06:29.119 --> 01:06:33.199
I wasn't that bad for it. I know you're miss Randall.

1122
01:06:37.639 --> 01:06:38.719
Gentle Doctor.

1123
01:06:40.480 --> 01:06:42.719
Grimes, get to do.

1124
01:06:46.599 --> 01:06:52.639
Yeah, okay, doc, now we've had the shots.

1125
01:06:53.280 --> 01:06:56.559
How's it going now? Just a minute. Nobody leaves here,

1126
01:06:58.159 --> 01:07:01.000
I said, nobody leaves here. I don't stand by the door.

1127
01:07:01.400 --> 01:07:06.199
Yes, sir, what's the big idea.

1128
01:07:07.360 --> 01:07:12.360
This morning? Somebody stole plague serum from my room. I

1129
01:07:12.400 --> 01:07:13.400
want that serum back.

1130
01:07:14.199 --> 01:07:17.159
That's your worry, doctor, Yeah.

1131
01:07:16.679 --> 01:07:20.920
My worry and yours now, all of you. Because one

1132
01:07:20.960 --> 01:07:23.440
of you took that serum, you're off your rocket dock.

1133
01:07:23.519 --> 01:07:25.679
Maybe you took it forward. You got a rubber plantation,

1134
01:07:25.719 --> 01:07:27.719
you could shoot your workers full of serum.

1135
01:07:28.039 --> 01:07:29.199
What would I want to do that for?

1136
01:07:29.880 --> 01:07:30.039
Oh?

1137
01:07:30.119 --> 01:07:30.840
Efficiency?

1138
01:07:30.920 --> 01:07:31.159
For it?

1139
01:07:31.239 --> 01:07:33.719
The workers on the other plantations would die and you'd

1140
01:07:33.719 --> 01:07:40.360
have the field yourself. Are you grimes. You're afraid i'd

1141
01:07:40.400 --> 01:07:43.199
tell you I had office about you. I know you're wrong, Laddy,

1142
01:07:43.360 --> 01:07:45.079
You've had a pretty good till now. I have to

1143
01:07:45.119 --> 01:07:48.320
know work plenty of gin. You're afraid i'd spoil it.

1144
01:07:48.320 --> 01:07:50.000
It's all you thought you'd make it look bad for

1145
01:07:50.079 --> 01:07:50.440
me too.

1146
01:07:50.719 --> 01:07:52.440
No, no, only you've got it wrong.

1147
01:07:53.880 --> 01:07:58.360
All right, Doc, you've got us here. Now what are

1148
01:07:58.400 --> 01:07:59.000
you going to do?

1149
01:08:01.119 --> 01:08:02.039
I've already done it.

1150
01:08:02.679 --> 01:08:05.480
You've done what That injection.

1151
01:08:05.199 --> 01:08:11.599
I gave all of you It wasn't serum. That was plague, bacteria,

1152
01:08:12.760 --> 01:08:23.520
straight plague. So what does that mean? Doc? That means

1153
01:08:23.560 --> 01:08:27.000
I have to get that serum within an hour otherwise

1154
01:08:27.119 --> 01:08:33.520
every one of you is going to get plague. That's right,

1155
01:08:35.319 --> 01:08:40.920
and think about it. Plague pain a human can't stand.

1156
01:08:40.960 --> 01:08:44.600
Then when you get used to it, you die, each

1157
01:08:44.760 --> 01:08:45.159
one of you.

1158
01:08:47.000 --> 01:08:48.279
This is ridiculous.

1159
01:08:48.239 --> 01:08:51.399
You've gotta die, all of you because there's no serum.

1160
01:08:52.000 --> 01:08:55.359
Serum would save you. Serum. I haven't got.

1161
01:08:58.439 --> 01:09:03.479
Look, doctor, those sick people at the hospital they need me.

1162
01:09:04.479 --> 01:09:05.199
Let me go there.

1163
01:09:05.279 --> 01:09:07.960
You forget, Miss Randall. You're sick too. You've got plague.

1164
01:09:08.239 --> 01:09:09.119
You're gonna die.

1165
01:09:09.359 --> 01:09:12.600
I'm not forgetting. Let me go, to the hospital.

1166
01:09:12.640 --> 01:09:15.760
Doctor, please, what could you do there? Put cold towels

1167
01:09:15.800 --> 01:09:17.119
on their heads doesn't help.

1168
01:09:17.520 --> 01:09:21.079
It doesn't help much. I know that they die just

1169
01:09:21.119 --> 01:09:23.880
the same, but at least they're comfortable.

1170
01:09:24.000 --> 01:09:25.319
Don't do it, Doc, don't let it go.

1171
01:09:25.680 --> 01:09:27.359
It ain't right if she goes.

1172
01:09:27.399 --> 01:09:30.960
We all you keep out of this, doctor, please, I can't,

1173
01:09:31.000 --> 01:09:31.720
Miss Randall.

1174
01:09:31.720 --> 01:09:34.159
Mister Ford says, it wouldn't be right to let you go.

1175
01:09:34.119 --> 01:09:34.560
Keep your hair.

1176
01:09:34.680 --> 01:09:36.199
Doc here with the rest of them.

1177
01:09:36.239 --> 01:09:37.239
I told you to keep out of it.

1178
01:09:37.600 --> 01:09:39.359
What a wheezel on me, don't you?

1179
01:09:39.359 --> 01:09:41.479
You're a fool, fat and a fool.

1180
01:09:41.760 --> 01:09:44.520
Yeah, I'd be a fool to let you get out

1181
01:09:44.520 --> 01:09:44.840
of here.

1182
01:09:45.079 --> 01:09:45.479
Doctor.

1183
01:09:45.800 --> 01:09:47.720
You'll stay here, Miss Randall, But.

1184
01:09:47.640 --> 01:09:49.119
There's no point you're under.

1185
01:09:49.159 --> 01:09:50.119
The doc says, stay here.

1186
01:09:50.359 --> 01:09:52.720
This is your fault, for it's all your fault, the

1187
01:09:52.720 --> 01:09:53.880
whole thing I said.

1188
01:09:53.720 --> 01:09:55.399
Sir, I'm trying to say something, Miss Randall.

1189
01:09:58.800 --> 01:09:59.920
I've got nothing to say.

1190
01:10:00.079 --> 01:10:08.800
Yeah, all right, you'll wait. We'll wait here as long and.

1191
01:10:11.319 --> 01:10:12.279
They're throwing rocks.

1192
01:10:13.319 --> 01:10:14.039
What do you want?

1193
01:10:14.960 --> 01:10:19.960
How do you feel? I feel all right, that's funny,

1194
01:10:20.199 --> 01:10:24.000
it's sweating. But if you say you feel all right? Fine,

1195
01:10:25.319 --> 01:10:26.880
you guys in a little while you won't feel so

1196
01:10:26.960 --> 01:10:33.199
good and you won't feel anything. You'll be dead. Have

1197
01:10:33.239 --> 01:10:49.039
anything to tell me for it? All right? We'll wait doctor, Uh.

1198
01:10:52.159 --> 01:11:04.319
Nothing, all right, you're going to die.

1199
01:11:06.520 --> 01:11:07.760
Where's the serum?

1200
01:11:08.319 --> 01:11:09.560
Make four till where it is?

1201
01:11:10.720 --> 01:11:13.319
Tell them you paying me the stealer for it?

1202
01:11:13.399 --> 01:11:15.319
You wanted the serum for your own workers.

1203
01:11:15.560 --> 01:11:19.279
You killed cont because he found out you.

1204
01:11:19.319 --> 01:11:22.439
Wow, more form covered time?

1205
01:11:23.079 --> 01:11:23.439
All right?

1206
01:11:23.520 --> 01:11:23.720
Ford?

1207
01:11:23.760 --> 01:11:24.640
Where's that serum?

1208
01:11:24.800 --> 01:11:25.560
Hard yellow?

1209
01:11:25.760 --> 01:11:26.119
Like that?

1210
01:11:27.159 --> 01:11:30.239
Trust this serum for where is it?

1211
01:11:30.239 --> 01:11:33.960
It's in my house, the living room, the floor board.

1212
01:11:34.159 --> 01:11:37.079
Get a doctor. I don't want to die. Please, please,

1213
01:11:37.159 --> 01:11:38.199
can't you speak my lane?

1214
01:11:38.319 --> 01:11:40.640
Yes? Get out there and tell those people. I'll have seramon,

1215
01:11:40.680 --> 01:11:44.399
don't evenute pleasure and take these two with you.

1216
01:11:50.199 --> 01:11:53.159
Hey, you're a hard one, lady.

1217
01:11:54.880 --> 01:11:55.800
You're ready for work.

1218
01:11:55.920 --> 01:12:00.359
Grimes Ley, you'll be taking care of me for were

1219
01:12:00.399 --> 01:12:00.640
you not?

1220
01:12:01.800 --> 01:12:03.920
Oh you're taking care of grimes.

1221
01:12:03.640 --> 01:12:07.399
Hi, I'm taking care of your film.

1222
01:12:07.399 --> 01:12:08.880
You're full of plague.

1223
01:12:09.199 --> 01:12:17.479
On that plague water? Yeah, water, don't worry. It was distilled.

1224
01:12:32.199 --> 01:12:35.479
Under the direction of Norman MacDonald. Escape has Brought You

1225
01:12:35.640 --> 01:12:39.640
Funeral Fires by Charles Israel. Lamon Johnson was starred as

1226
01:12:39.640 --> 01:12:43.039
Mark with Georgia Ellis as the girl. Ellis featured in

1227
01:12:43.079 --> 01:12:46.920
the cast where Don Diamond, Ben Wright, Wilms Herbert and

1228
01:12:47.000 --> 01:12:50.520
Leon Lontak. The special music for Escape was composed and

1229
01:12:50.560 --> 01:12:52.359
conducted by Ivan Ditmars.

1230
01:12:53.920 --> 01:12:56.880
Next Week Escape with us to the barren waste of

1231
01:12:56.880 --> 01:12:59.720
northern Mexico and the story of a million dollars in

1232
01:12:59.800 --> 01:13:03.439
cash to be had for the asking if you live,

1233
01:13:04.119 --> 01:13:08.279
as Anthony Ellis tells it in his exciting story this

1234
01:13:08.640 --> 01:13:10.680
side of Nowhere.

1235
01:13:18.319 --> 01:13:21.439
Wouldn't you like to help wipe out tuberculosis? Wouldn't you

1236
01:13:21.560 --> 01:13:24.039
like to help those now afflicted with the dread disease

1237
01:13:24.119 --> 01:13:25.479
and prevent others from getting it?

1238
01:13:25.960 --> 01:13:26.159
All?

1239
01:13:26.239 --> 01:13:29.760
The wonderful work carried on by the National Tuberculosis Association

1240
01:13:30.119 --> 01:13:32.399
has been asked by the sale of the Christmas eals

1241
01:13:32.439 --> 01:13:35.880
you buy each year. So don't forget help to fight

1242
01:13:36.000 --> 01:13:39.520
TB by putting a Christmas seal on every letter you write.

1243
01:13:39.920 --> 01:13:41.399
This is Roy Rowlan speaking.

1244
01:13:41.760 --> 01:13:43.880
This is CBS where you spend an hour with Frank

1245
01:13:43.920 --> 01:14:04.199
Sinatra Sunday afternoon on the Columbia Broadcasting System.

1246
01:14:04.960 --> 01:14:10.640
Don't worry, there's plenty more wood for the fire. Just relax,

1247
01:14:11.479 --> 01:14:16.840
The tea's almost ready. Another pot and another scare for

1248
01:14:16.960 --> 01:14:22.479
us to enjoy. Or what's that? Oh no, no, no, no,

1249
01:14:23.159 --> 01:14:26.840
these walls are so thick. I wouldn't worry about it

1250
01:14:26.920 --> 01:14:33.520
one bit. Of course, worry is a popular pastime of

1251
01:14:33.560 --> 01:14:42.079
the aware. What a blessing and a curse? Being aware is.

1252
01:14:43.479 --> 01:14:50.239
Knowing what's going on around oneself leads to many damning scenarios,

1253
01:14:50.760 --> 01:14:54.680
ones that are sure to make ready my.

1254
01:14:54.840 --> 01:15:12.119
Grave, Lipton Tea and Lipton Soups present, Inner Sanctum Mysteries.

1255
01:15:28.920 --> 01:15:32.720
Good evening, friends of the Inner Sanctum. This is your

1256
01:15:32.720 --> 01:15:38.279
host opening the squeaking door for another session of the AGGMS,

1257
01:15:39.119 --> 01:15:44.800
the Association of Ghouls, Ghosts and Midnight Spirits. Oh may

1258
01:15:44.840 --> 01:15:49.119
I see your membership card as your enterprise, But oh no,

1259
01:15:49.399 --> 01:15:52.640
it's not a printed card. All you have to do

1260
01:15:52.720 --> 01:15:56.279
is show me your wrist. If there's any blood pulsing

1261
01:15:56.359 --> 01:16:00.720
in your arteries, then you don't belong here tonight. Better

1262
01:16:00.760 --> 01:16:04.600
come back and try some other time after you pass

1263
01:16:04.760 --> 01:16:07.039
your mortuary tests.

1264
01:16:09.079 --> 01:16:12.000
Well, mister host, I'm afraid I don't qualify as a

1265
01:16:12.000 --> 01:16:16.399
member of your a g g MS Association of Ghules

1266
01:16:16.520 --> 01:16:19.359
or whatever it is. But I am a charter member

1267
01:16:19.640 --> 01:16:22.680
of the I l LB Society.

1268
01:16:22.479 --> 01:16:25.279
The il LB. What's that?

1269
01:16:25.359 --> 01:16:25.479
Man?

1270
01:16:25.640 --> 01:16:26.479
It's a new one on me.

1271
01:16:27.840 --> 01:16:32.079
Why those initials stand for I like Lipton's Best. To

1272
01:16:32.159 --> 01:16:33.840
join this club, all you have to do is see

1273
01:16:33.840 --> 01:16:36.920
that the T in your teapot is always Lipton's. The

1274
01:16:36.960 --> 01:16:40.199
club password isn't a word at all, It's that familiar

1275
01:16:40.239 --> 01:16:46.640
sound of appreciation. For really, Lypton T is delicious, as zestful,

1276
01:16:46.680 --> 01:16:49.920
and spirited as can be. And the reason very simple.

1277
01:16:50.279 --> 01:16:53.720
It's Lipton's brisk flavor. Brisk, you know, is the T

1278
01:16:53.880 --> 01:16:57.319
expert's own word for the lively, full bodied flavor of

1279
01:16:57.439 --> 01:17:01.000
Lypton T. That brisk flavor is made a lot of friends,

1280
01:17:01.239 --> 01:17:03.920
for more folks buy and enjoy Liptons than any other

1281
01:17:03.960 --> 01:17:06.880
tea in the world. So try a cup of Lipton

1282
01:17:06.920 --> 01:17:09.640
tea yourself. I know you'll say so many others do.

1283
01:17:10.079 --> 01:17:11.640
I like Lipton's Best.

1284
01:17:21.399 --> 01:17:25.079
And now for Tonight's in a Sanctum Mystery. It's an

1285
01:17:25.119 --> 01:17:29.520
original radio play by Amiel Tepperman called make Ready My

1286
01:17:29.680 --> 01:17:35.319
Grave and stars two radio favorites, John Banks and Richard Widmar.

1287
01:17:36.439 --> 01:17:38.840
It's about a boy and a girl just been married,

1288
01:17:39.680 --> 01:17:44.000
a piece of colored string, an open grave, and a

1289
01:17:44.119 --> 01:17:45.039
Hangman's noose.

1290
01:17:53.079 --> 01:17:55.680
That train is a southeast limity.

1291
01:17:56.319 --> 01:18:01.159
See it long sleep and powerful, taking off the miles

1292
01:18:01.239 --> 01:18:05.760
and the humming raids. A masterpiece of twentieth century mechanical perfection.

1293
01:18:06.880 --> 01:18:10.920
Nothing about it to suggest lurking hate of fear or

1294
01:18:11.000 --> 01:18:18.920
superstition or death. Let's take a look into compartment A

1295
01:18:19.199 --> 01:18:23.199
car seventeen. John and Betty Loomis, just married, are going

1296
01:18:23.199 --> 01:18:25.640
to their honeymoon to John's ancestral estate.

1297
01:18:27.159 --> 01:18:32.399
Joe, John, I'm so happy. How soon do we get

1298
01:18:32.399 --> 01:18:33.079
to Lewisville?

1299
01:18:33.279 --> 01:18:34.359
In about an hour? Betty?

1300
01:18:35.159 --> 01:18:38.359
Just think I'm married into one of the oldest families

1301
01:18:38.399 --> 01:18:39.000
in the state.

1302
01:18:40.039 --> 01:18:41.479
I hope you'll be very happy.

1303
01:18:41.520 --> 01:18:42.800
Don I will?

1304
01:18:42.880 --> 01:18:44.720
I will?

1305
01:18:44.920 --> 01:18:45.920
You do love me, don't you?

1306
01:18:46.000 --> 01:18:46.279
John?

1307
01:18:46.880 --> 01:18:47.720
Of course I do.

1308
01:18:47.880 --> 01:18:54.000
Baby, I'll always love you always, no matter what happens.

1309
01:18:54.640 --> 01:18:56.680
What do you mean, no matter what happens?

1310
01:18:57.239 --> 01:18:58.119
What could happen?

1311
01:19:00.079 --> 01:19:00.159
On?

1312
01:19:00.199 --> 01:19:00.920
Something's bothering?

1313
01:19:01.199 --> 01:19:02.680
No, No, it's nothing at all.

1314
01:19:02.760 --> 01:19:04.760
You're hiding something. It's something you haven't told you.

1315
01:19:04.880 --> 01:19:08.079
It's nothing that, it's nothing to worry about. You don't

1316
01:19:08.079 --> 01:19:10.640
want to you, No, not now, maybe later.

1317
01:19:13.640 --> 01:19:16.000
Why are you playing with that piece of yellow stree

1318
01:19:17.279 --> 01:19:19.039
You've been playing with it ever since we came onto

1319
01:19:19.039 --> 01:19:19.439
the train.

1320
01:19:20.279 --> 01:19:27.000
Mm hmmm. M Gosha, I never noticed. I watched you.

1321
01:19:27.000 --> 01:19:28.279
You've been dying and nothing it.

1322
01:19:29.079 --> 01:19:29.239
Or not.

1323
01:19:31.720 --> 01:19:36.119
Good Lord, I must have tied it without knowing what

1324
01:19:36.199 --> 01:19:36.840
I was doing.

1325
01:19:37.600 --> 01:19:39.640
You.

1326
01:19:39.640 --> 01:19:44.199
You've tied it into a noose, the hangman's noose.

1327
01:19:44.720 --> 01:19:47.479
But I don't know how I came to make it

1328
01:19:47.560 --> 01:19:50.960
or where I picked it up. It's only a piece

1329
01:19:51.000 --> 01:19:53.319
of string, Yes.

1330
01:19:53.239 --> 01:19:58.199
It's only a piece of stree, Betty? Why did you

1331
01:19:58.720 --> 01:20:00.479
take this a gun?

1332
01:20:00.560 --> 01:20:00.960
Take it?

1333
01:20:02.680 --> 01:20:05.359
If I should ever try to if I should ever

1334
01:20:05.439 --> 01:20:08.720
try to strangle you, please listen to me. If I

1335
01:20:08.720 --> 01:20:11.199
should ever try to strangle you, promise me to use

1336
01:20:11.279 --> 01:20:12.520
that gun on me.

1337
01:20:12.680 --> 01:20:18.880
What are you talking about this? John? What's this all about?

1338
01:20:18.880 --> 01:20:20.800
That piece of yellow string and now this gun?

1339
01:20:20.880 --> 01:20:23.800
Put the way, Paddy, and remember what I said, don't

1340
01:20:23.800 --> 01:20:24.319
ever forget.

1341
01:20:38.079 --> 01:20:39.760
Why is it so dark here?

1342
01:20:40.039 --> 01:20:42.479
This is just a way station. The train only stops

1343
01:20:42.479 --> 01:20:44.600
here to let us off. Otherwise it goes right through.

1344
01:20:45.399 --> 01:20:45.800
Mm hmm.

1345
01:20:47.000 --> 01:20:49.359
I thought lumis Bear was a big town.

1346
01:20:49.520 --> 01:20:51.520
Well, it used to be one hundred years ago, but

1347
01:20:51.640 --> 01:20:53.359
now there's only the Lumisy State.

1348
01:20:54.640 --> 01:20:56.039
Are we far from these street?

1349
01:20:56.359 --> 01:21:00.199
About two miles old. Herman Golf should be here. Pick

1350
01:21:00.239 --> 01:21:03.239
us up in the station wagon, Herm and golf.

1351
01:21:03.640 --> 01:21:04.520
He's a handyman.

1352
01:21:04.560 --> 01:21:06.800
There's been a Gault working for the Luman's family for

1353
01:21:06.840 --> 01:21:09.119
the last one hundred and fifty years.

1354
01:21:09.600 --> 01:21:14.560
John I don't like it here, dark wind.

1355
01:21:14.520 --> 01:21:17.239
The devil can golf be? I wrote them what train

1356
01:21:17.319 --> 01:21:21.479
we would take? Oh, Golf, you frightened my wife.

1357
01:21:21.760 --> 01:21:22.640
I'm sorry, ma'am.

1358
01:21:22.720 --> 01:21:25.319
If I scared you, that's all right.

1359
01:21:25.359 --> 01:21:29.119
It was just the way you spoke, so suddenly out

1360
01:21:29.159 --> 01:21:29.840
of the darkness.

1361
01:21:30.039 --> 01:21:32.359
If you follow me, I've got the station.

1362
01:21:32.159 --> 01:21:33.079
Wagon back here.

1363
01:21:34.560 --> 01:21:36.479
Johnny doesn't like me golf.

1364
01:21:36.560 --> 01:21:37.880
No, that's just his way.

1365
01:21:37.920 --> 01:21:40.000
He's very devoted to the family. Where do you get

1366
01:21:40.039 --> 01:21:40.560
to know him.

1367
01:21:41.479 --> 01:21:55.159
I don't think I cared too Johnny. He is driving

1368
01:21:55.199 --> 01:21:56.800
too fast. It's a dog.

1369
01:21:56.920 --> 01:21:57.840
Don't worry, Betty.

1370
01:21:58.479 --> 01:22:00.680
Galt knows this road like the back of his hand.

1371
01:22:00.720 --> 01:22:01.960
We'll be there in a few minutes.

1372
01:22:02.520 --> 01:22:07.359
I'm frightened, Darning. Please tell me why you gave.

1373
01:22:07.239 --> 01:22:07.720
Me the gun.

1374
01:22:08.520 --> 01:22:12.119
No, I can't tell you now, Betty. Maybe after you

1375
01:22:12.159 --> 01:22:13.359
meet uncle eph John.

1376
01:22:13.600 --> 01:22:17.800
What's that in your hand?

1377
01:22:21.479 --> 01:22:25.279
Another piece of string? The red one? This time.

1378
01:22:26.760 --> 01:22:29.239
I must have picked it up in here off the seat.

1379
01:22:29.880 --> 01:22:32.319
You've nodded it into another hangman's noose.

1380
01:22:33.039 --> 01:22:36.279
Well, yes, mister John, this piece of red string.

1381
01:22:36.319 --> 01:22:37.199
Did you put it here?

1382
01:22:38.479 --> 01:22:38.560
Then?

1383
01:22:38.600 --> 01:22:39.479
How did you get here?

1384
01:22:40.920 --> 01:22:41.680
You ought to know?

1385
01:22:43.159 --> 01:22:46.159
Yes, yes, I ought to know.

1386
01:22:47.479 --> 01:22:49.119
God, why are you stopping here?

1387
01:22:49.399 --> 01:22:50.279
Well home, ma'am.

1388
01:22:51.079 --> 01:22:53.039
This is the entrance to the loom of the state.

1389
01:22:54.199 --> 01:22:55.880
I've got to get out and open the gate.

1390
01:22:56.640 --> 01:22:59.279
I'll be right, Betty. I've got to get out too.

1391
01:22:59.319 --> 01:23:02.640
I got to see for myself. See what you Stay here, Betty.

1392
01:23:02.760 --> 01:23:03.720
Stay right where you are.

1393
01:23:03.760 --> 01:23:04.279
Wait a minute.

1394
01:23:04.319 --> 01:23:06.199
I'm coming to get back in the car.

1395
01:23:06.560 --> 01:23:07.279
John is right.

1396
01:23:07.359 --> 01:23:09.760
Man, you shouldn't go with him.

1397
01:23:09.800 --> 01:23:10.399
Take care of her.

1398
01:23:10.399 --> 01:23:12.039
God, where's he's going?

1399
01:23:12.359 --> 01:23:15.880
That is the Lumis family cemetery.

1400
01:23:16.600 --> 01:23:17.920
What does you want to see in there in the

1401
01:23:17.920 --> 01:23:22.159
middle of the night, you tell you himself, ma'am. No,

1402
01:23:22.279 --> 01:23:25.920
I'm going to find out right now, John, John, wait

1403
01:23:25.960 --> 01:23:28.479
for me. I'm going with you. I want to know

1404
01:23:28.479 --> 01:23:30.800
what there is and that your wife. Now I have

1405
01:23:30.840 --> 01:23:33.159
a right to know what this is all about. I'm

1406
01:23:33.159 --> 01:23:33.760
going with you.

1407
01:23:35.840 --> 01:23:39.159
All right, if that's the way I feel it. But

1408
01:23:39.279 --> 01:23:41.000
hold on to that gun I gave you. Keep it

1409
01:23:41.039 --> 01:23:41.520
in your hand.

1410
01:23:41.560 --> 01:23:42.199
All the time.

1411
01:23:42.439 --> 01:23:49.239
John, Ply, you'll find out soon enough. This is the

1412
01:23:49.319 --> 01:23:51.199
gate of the family cemetery.

1413
01:23:52.840 --> 01:23:57.439
All the Loomis says, and their wives are buried here.

1414
01:23:57.960 --> 01:23:59.920
Care it's so shadowy.

1415
01:24:02.039 --> 01:24:03.920
My tombstones look like ghosts.

1416
01:24:04.239 --> 01:24:07.199
Hold my hand, John, Just hold out.

1417
01:24:07.039 --> 01:24:09.880
Of that, John, John, whose great is this with a

1418
01:24:10.319 --> 01:24:11.840
high tombstone?

1419
01:24:12.399 --> 01:24:18.920
My great grandfather's Stewart Loomis, he founded the Loomis Is State.

1420
01:24:20.800 --> 01:24:27.479
This is my grandfather's grave, his wife. There's my father,

1421
01:24:29.239 --> 01:24:30.000
my mother.

1422
01:24:30.720 --> 01:24:36.239
And that's all that should be all?

1423
01:24:37.520 --> 01:24:39.079
Do you mean I'm over here? This is what I

1424
01:24:39.159 --> 01:24:43.920
came to see. This is what I've been afraid.

1425
01:24:43.560 --> 01:24:52.279
Of, John, John hits an open grave freshly.

1426
01:24:51.880 --> 01:25:01.399
Doug, Yes, it was just Doug tonight. But mhm, who

1427
01:25:01.439 --> 01:25:03.039
is it for? Very dying?

1428
01:25:04.920 --> 01:25:14.760
I'm afraid it's for you?

1429
01:25:20.319 --> 01:25:25.039
Well, what's poor Betty letting herself in for with a

1430
01:25:25.199 --> 01:25:29.199
fresh gray waiting for her on a honeymoon and a

1431
01:25:29.319 --> 01:25:33.840
husband who ties little strings into hangman's nooses. But you know,

1432
01:25:33.880 --> 01:25:35.640
I'll come to think of it, Betty's a lucky girl

1433
01:25:35.640 --> 01:25:39.239
at that. How many girls who get married nowadays can count?

1434
01:25:39.279 --> 01:25:41.800
I'm finding a nice snug place all ready for them

1435
01:25:41.800 --> 01:25:45.039
to lie down and unrest in peace.

1436
01:25:47.800 --> 01:25:50.640
Gracious mister host, Betty doesn't seem like a lucky bride

1437
01:25:50.640 --> 01:25:54.279
to me. Why most brides have things much easier because

1438
01:25:54.279 --> 01:25:56.319
there's so many things today to help them make their

1439
01:25:56.359 --> 01:26:03.079
marriage a success. For example, exam Lipton Tea with lipt

1440
01:26:03.119 --> 01:26:05.359
and Tea on the pantry shelf. A young bride today

1441
01:26:05.399 --> 01:26:07.439
has a much better chance of making her home a

1442
01:26:07.479 --> 01:26:10.039
happy one. Just the other day, I was talking to

1443
01:26:10.079 --> 01:26:12.399
a friend who just got married. As we sat there

1444
01:26:12.439 --> 01:26:15.279
in her kitchen sipping our lipt and tea, me occupying

1445
01:26:15.279 --> 01:26:18.199
the only chair, and she perched on the kitchen stool.

1446
01:26:18.600 --> 01:26:21.000
She said, you know, Mary, it was silly of me

1447
01:26:21.079 --> 01:26:23.640
to worry about being able to cook the things Jack liked.

1448
01:26:24.039 --> 01:26:26.439
It's not nearly as difficult as I imagined. Take this

1449
01:26:26.560 --> 01:26:30.279
Lipton tea here. It answers the whole beverage problem. As

1450
01:26:30.279 --> 01:26:32.680
far as Jack is concerned, he's happy as long as

1451
01:26:32.680 --> 01:26:34.039
he has Lipton's.

1452
01:26:33.520 --> 01:26:36.199
Morning, noon, and night. Well.

1453
01:26:36.239 --> 01:26:39.399
I told her I could understand then, because most husbands

1454
01:26:39.479 --> 01:26:42.560
I know about our partial to Lipton tea, and it's

1455
01:26:42.600 --> 01:26:46.159
because of the extra satisfaction it's in Lipton's wonderful brisk

1456
01:26:46.239 --> 01:26:48.439
flavor satisfaction.

1457
01:26:48.560 --> 01:26:50.119
Did I say, mm?

1458
01:26:50.119 --> 01:26:52.800
You Just try lipt and Tea and see if that

1459
01:26:52.920 --> 01:26:54.119
isn't an understatement.

1460
01:26:54.680 --> 01:26:56.199
Try Lipton's tomorrow.

1461
01:27:00.039 --> 01:27:13.239
And now let's hurry back to our days in a graveyard.

1462
01:27:14.039 --> 01:27:17.600
Remember with poor Betty whose husband has just told her

1463
01:27:17.600 --> 01:27:20.359
he's afraid of freshly dug grave is for her?

1464
01:27:22.119 --> 01:27:22.359
John?

1465
01:27:22.399 --> 01:27:23.039
What do you mean?

1466
01:27:24.239 --> 01:27:25.840
Who dug this great for me? Who?

1467
01:27:28.720 --> 01:27:30.720
If I told you you'd think I was crazy?

1468
01:27:30.800 --> 01:27:32.479
No, You've got to tell me if I'm in danger,

1469
01:27:32.520 --> 01:27:34.399
I have a right to know. Was it God?

1470
01:27:34.880 --> 01:27:35.479
You're a liver?

1471
01:27:36.760 --> 01:27:39.520
At least I don't think his wife Christine?

1472
01:27:41.000 --> 01:27:49.520
Betty? Do you believe that a ghost could dig a grave? Ghost?

1473
01:27:51.840 --> 01:27:55.239
Do you mean I'm in danger from a ghost?

1474
01:27:55.239 --> 01:27:57.680
I told you you'd think I was crazy?

1475
01:27:58.560 --> 01:27:58.800
John?

1476
01:27:58.880 --> 01:28:01.079
What are you looking at me like that?

1477
01:28:02.560 --> 01:28:07.399
I don't know. But if you got that gun with you?

1478
01:28:07.439 --> 01:28:09.199
No, I left it in the crew.

1479
01:28:11.680 --> 01:28:24.439
What good would a gun be against a ghost? There's

1480
01:28:24.479 --> 01:28:26.800
the station wagon still waiting at the gate, But I

1481
01:28:26.840 --> 01:28:27.600
don't see Gold.

1482
01:28:27.760 --> 01:28:28.880
Maybe he went up to the house.

1483
01:28:29.000 --> 01:28:30.520
Gold, Where are you there?

1484
01:28:30.600 --> 01:28:30.800
John?

1485
01:28:32.119 --> 01:28:33.960
Uncle Everard? What happened to Gold?

1486
01:28:34.399 --> 01:28:36.439
They come up to the house, So you've gone into

1487
01:28:36.439 --> 01:28:40.479
the cemetery. So I thought i'd better come down. Is

1488
01:28:41.760 --> 01:28:49.039
it there? Yes, it's there, a freshly doug grave. Mm hmm,

1489
01:28:49.800 --> 01:28:52.199
Uncle Everard, this is my wife, Betty.

1490
01:28:52.439 --> 01:28:54.600
Who are you?

1491
01:28:54.600 --> 01:28:55.359
You saw the grave?

1492
01:28:55.560 --> 01:28:56.039
Do bidden?

1493
01:28:56.800 --> 01:29:02.560
Yes? And John says he thinks it's me. I'm afraid

1494
01:29:02.560 --> 01:29:03.039
I don't.

1495
01:29:02.880 --> 01:29:05.479
Understand he told her anything yet, John.

1496
01:29:05.279 --> 01:29:08.640
Well, just just a little. I couldn't bring myself to it.

1497
01:29:09.720 --> 01:29:22.119
I think it's time you did well, do you? Betty?

1498
01:29:22.399 --> 01:29:22.720
Thank you?

1499
01:29:22.760 --> 01:29:24.960
And Oliver. I will have a little more.

1500
01:29:25.199 --> 01:29:31.159
You John, love that too bad? Christina's aira. She's upstairs in.

1501
01:29:31.119 --> 01:29:33.520
Our room, but I hope she'll be.

1502
01:29:33.439 --> 01:29:39.359
Better about tomorrow. You can see her then. Maybe what

1503
01:29:39.399 --> 01:29:46.119
do you mean that grave out there? Maybe it'll be

1504
01:29:46.239 --> 01:29:47.119
filled tomorrow.

1505
01:29:47.239 --> 01:29:49.159
John, don't you think it's time you kept your promise

1506
01:29:49.199 --> 01:29:50.479
to tell me what this is all about?

1507
01:29:51.399 --> 01:29:56.800
You tell her, Uncle Everard, Betty, there's a ghost of

1508
01:29:56.840 --> 01:29:59.880
the Roman's family that said in a nut.

1509
01:29:59.800 --> 01:30:05.720
Chair, always see And it was a ghost.

1510
01:30:05.800 --> 01:30:07.359
Who does that grave?

1511
01:30:08.000 --> 01:30:10.560
I know it sounds mad there.

1512
01:30:10.600 --> 01:30:13.760
For one hundred and fifty years, three Lumases have come

1513
01:30:13.800 --> 01:30:17.039
to the conviction that it can't be anything but a ghost.

1514
01:30:17.119 --> 01:30:20.479
One hundred and fifty years, you mean.

1515
01:30:20.359 --> 01:30:25.239
John's great grandfather, Stuart Thomas, settled a strip of seacoast

1516
01:30:25.319 --> 01:30:29.079
under a pattern from the colonial governor. There's this picture

1517
01:30:29.119 --> 01:30:29.920
over the fireplace.

1518
01:30:31.039 --> 01:30:34.239
Great, he doesn't look much like you, John.

1519
01:30:35.479 --> 01:30:39.359
Stuart Loomas was a hard man. It was a French

1520
01:30:39.399 --> 01:30:41.479
privateer in these waters and made a lot of trouble

1521
01:30:41.479 --> 01:30:45.319
in those days. Cast In LaRue sailed the seas with

1522
01:30:45.359 --> 01:30:46.479
his wife Antoinette.

1523
01:30:47.199 --> 01:30:49.319
What does a French pirate and his wife to do

1524
01:30:49.439 --> 01:30:50.560
with that grave?

1525
01:30:51.000 --> 01:30:54.560
Stuart Loomas captured Laru and his wife, under the authority

1526
01:30:54.600 --> 01:30:57.520
conferred upon him by the governor, had the power.

1527
01:30:57.399 --> 01:30:57.920
To hang him.

1528
01:30:59.600 --> 01:31:01.399
You mean woman too.

1529
01:31:02.239 --> 01:31:07.199
Yes, he hanged them both and the gibbet ware our

1530
01:31:07.279 --> 01:31:08.800
family cemetery in our stairs.

1531
01:31:10.000 --> 01:31:10.920
How terrible.

1532
01:31:11.560 --> 01:31:14.399
Before he died, cast In the Rue laid a curse

1533
01:31:14.439 --> 01:31:15.319
in the Loomis family.

1534
01:31:16.560 --> 01:31:19.560
He swore that, just as his wife was saying, so

1535
01:31:19.600 --> 01:31:20.960
would all the loneless women die.

1536
01:31:22.520 --> 01:31:24.039
He swore that he would come back and dig a

1537
01:31:24.119 --> 01:31:26.520
grave with the wife of a Loomas and every generation,

1538
01:31:27.800 --> 01:31:31.039
and furnished the noose by which a Loomis strangle his

1539
01:31:31.119 --> 01:31:32.760
own life.

1540
01:31:34.079 --> 01:31:35.239
That's incredible.

1541
01:31:35.479 --> 01:31:37.920
Short while afterward, the fresh grave was found beside the

1542
01:31:37.960 --> 01:31:43.560
Gibbet where the ruten hung. That night, Stuart Loomis's wife,

1543
01:31:44.239 --> 01:31:46.920
John's great grandmother was found.

1544
01:31:46.720 --> 01:31:49.720
Hanging by the neck from the eaves of his very house.

1545
01:31:52.439 --> 01:31:57.720
And Stuart Loomis I told you, Stuart Lumens was a

1546
01:31:57.760 --> 01:32:00.239
hard man, and it made many enemies.

1547
01:32:01.560 --> 01:32:03.600
There were many who hated him deeply and bitterly.

1548
01:32:05.079 --> 01:32:07.359
He was arrested and tried for the murder of his wife,

1549
01:32:08.960 --> 01:32:10.159
convicted and executed.

1550
01:32:12.319 --> 01:32:14.560
Now you know the secret of the Lumis family.

1551
01:32:15.520 --> 01:32:18.239
But John, that still doesn't prove as a ghost.

1552
01:32:18.319 --> 01:32:22.000
Know that one incident doesn't prove it. But it happened

1553
01:32:22.000 --> 01:32:26.319
again when the next looman Is married John's grandfather, and

1554
01:32:26.399 --> 01:32:30.079
to the next loom was John's father, sometimes a year

1555
01:32:30.119 --> 01:32:32.039
after marriage, sometimes five years.

1556
01:32:33.079 --> 01:32:35.439
The curse never fails.

1557
01:32:37.079 --> 01:32:39.560
It's happened in every generation.

1558
01:32:39.760 --> 01:32:44.960
Yes, and now John Loomis has brought a new wife home.

1559
01:32:46.760 --> 01:32:52.439
There's a freshly dug grave waiting in the family cemetery.

1560
01:32:52.399 --> 01:32:54.760
Yes, then I'm next.

1561
01:32:55.560 --> 01:32:59.920
I don't know body. Maybe that grave isn't for you,

1562
01:33:00.840 --> 01:33:06.920
what Maybe it's for Christine, my wife.

1563
01:33:08.079 --> 01:33:12.680
This is all ridiculous. A ghost couldn't make a grave

1564
01:33:13.159 --> 01:33:16.600
make John strangle me to death? Uncle Everrod, you can't

1565
01:33:16.640 --> 01:33:18.520
believe such a legend. It can't be true.

1566
01:33:19.239 --> 01:33:23.279
Maybe not, my dear, But the graves of the strangled

1567
01:33:23.319 --> 01:33:26.720
Loomis women are out there to prove it.

1568
01:33:29.119 --> 01:33:39.600
H This is your room, ready, and have God called

1569
01:33:39.640 --> 01:33:40.640
you there tomorrow morning?

1570
01:33:43.960 --> 01:33:44.119
Good?

1571
01:33:48.159 --> 01:33:52.119
This is such a big room.

1572
01:33:52.199 --> 01:33:53.199
It's so gloomy.

1573
01:33:54.159 --> 01:33:59.880
The whole house is like that, ries gloomy and sullen,

1574
01:34:00.079 --> 01:34:01.359
the Loomless curse.

1575
01:34:03.720 --> 01:34:08.239
Oh, Betty, I love you so much. We'll beat the

1576
01:34:08.279 --> 01:34:08.920
curse together.

1577
01:34:11.079 --> 01:34:11.920
Let me go down.

1578
01:34:13.439 --> 01:34:14.720
I want to change my clothes.

1579
01:34:14.880 --> 01:34:18.560
Marsh By, there's the best one over there.

1580
01:34:19.239 --> 01:34:20.640
Not only be a minute, all right?

1581
01:34:21.920 --> 01:34:26.159
Oh, it's a lovely Betty.

1582
01:34:25.720 --> 01:34:28.159
Look hanging from the shower box.

1583
01:34:31.000 --> 01:34:32.000
Hang much snooze.

1584
01:34:34.600 --> 01:34:36.039
It's a real one, this time.

1585
01:34:37.720 --> 01:34:44.399
A rope ready to hang someone who put it there?

1586
01:34:45.079 --> 01:34:47.640
It's the Lumos curse. We can't get away from it.

1587
01:34:47.800 --> 01:34:49.479
No ghosts could have hung that rope there.

1588
01:34:49.800 --> 01:34:52.800
Let let's call uncle Everet. Have you got the gun

1589
01:34:52.840 --> 01:34:53.119
with you?

1590
01:34:53.159 --> 01:34:57.000
No, it's in my handbag, Jett, I say, all right,

1591
01:34:57.079 --> 01:34:59.159
John here.

1592
01:35:00.880 --> 01:35:02.399
All right, I'll keep it with you all the time,

1593
01:35:02.439 --> 01:35:04.479
and don't be afraid to use it on me if necessary.

1594
01:35:04.479 --> 01:35:05.600
All right, let's get your uncle.

1595
01:35:06.199 --> 01:35:07.000
This is his rule.

1596
01:35:08.039 --> 01:35:09.720
I wonder if I ought to waken it, might have said,

1597
01:35:09.720 --> 01:35:10.880
Aunt Christine.

1598
01:35:10.520 --> 01:35:15.359
She's we've got to wake him.

1599
01:35:15.640 --> 01:35:24.800
A naccarter, Oh it wasn't a lot. Call him a

1600
01:35:24.920 --> 01:35:33.560
glever Rod. A glever Rod doesn't answer. It doesn A

1601
01:35:33.680 --> 01:35:35.239
light in the room.

1602
01:35:35.600 --> 01:35:36.840
Push the door further open.

1603
01:35:40.159 --> 01:35:41.399
Mm hmmm, Well.

1604
01:35:41.279 --> 01:35:42.600
There's nobody in the room.

1605
01:35:42.640 --> 01:35:49.279
The bed's empty. A glover Ard and Christine m.

1606
01:35:49.760 --> 01:35:52.079
Maybe in the bathroom.

1607
01:35:52.199 --> 01:35:53.000
The door is open.

1608
01:35:58.079 --> 01:36:03.000
Christine, she's hanging by the neck.

1609
01:36:04.680 --> 01:36:07.600
She's dead.

1610
01:36:10.720 --> 01:36:13.279
The same kind of a noose is in our Uncle

1611
01:36:13.359 --> 01:36:22.880
ever hang. It's the Loomi's curse catching up with well God,

1612
01:36:22.920 --> 01:36:24.720
and he traced the Buncle Everard.

1613
01:36:24.399 --> 01:36:27.359
I sarched the whole house basement, duaddict, not as silent,

1614
01:36:27.479 --> 01:36:28.680
and he must have gone not come on.

1615
01:36:28.840 --> 01:36:30.560
But it's right, we've got to find him. Then he

1616
01:36:30.680 --> 01:36:36.399
come on?

1617
01:36:38.159 --> 01:36:40.159
So dark out here, how will we ever find?

1618
01:36:40.359 --> 01:36:44.159
I have a flashlight, man, you look for fresh footprints

1619
01:36:44.159 --> 01:36:44.920
in the slush.

1620
01:36:44.960 --> 01:36:47.640
They must be Uncle Everard's. They lead down toward the cemetery.

1621
01:36:47.760 --> 01:36:48.439
Come along ago.

1622
01:36:51.800 --> 01:36:52.640
Here, mister John.

1623
01:36:52.680 --> 01:36:55.079
You can see for yourself the footprints lead right to

1624
01:36:55.119 --> 01:36:55.960
this new grave.

1625
01:36:56.279 --> 01:36:58.119
But why did he come here?

1626
01:36:59.039 --> 01:37:04.279
There's the answer across at the head of the empty tray.

1627
01:37:05.680 --> 01:37:09.760
Throw your flashlight on the call something written on it.

1628
01:37:09.159 --> 01:37:12.319
It says Christine, looks, Betty, what is.

1629
01:37:13.880 --> 01:37:14.520
Good?

1630
01:37:15.600 --> 01:37:16.159
Over there?

1631
01:37:17.800 --> 01:37:18.159
Another?

1632
01:37:20.479 --> 01:37:21.800
He's dug another one.

1633
01:37:22.000 --> 01:37:24.319
There's a cross on this one to the same.

1634
01:37:25.199 --> 01:37:38.359
Yes, yes it does, it says Betty Loomis.

1635
01:37:38.439 --> 01:37:41.920
John said close to me that portrait of Stuart Loomis

1636
01:37:41.960 --> 01:37:44.800
over the fireplace looks so really right.

1637
01:37:45.239 --> 01:37:45.960
I remember, Betty.

1638
01:37:46.000 --> 01:37:48.880
Whatever happens, hold onto that gun and don't be afraid to.

1639
01:37:48.880 --> 01:37:49.520
Use it tonight.

1640
01:37:50.279 --> 01:37:52.880
Whereas gold he ought to be his, so he went

1641
01:37:52.960 --> 01:37:55.239
to look for some weapons.

1642
01:37:56.199 --> 01:37:58.680
God, you always frightened me coming in so quietly.

1643
01:37:58.880 --> 01:38:02.399
I'm sorry, ma'am. Here, mister John, these are to be

1644
01:38:02.479 --> 01:38:06.920
pretty good weapons, size as I had them sharpened only

1645
01:38:07.000 --> 01:38:10.079
the other day. They could slice a man's head off

1646
01:38:10.079 --> 01:38:16.319
in one stroke. Take one, mister John. Well, i'd hate

1647
01:38:16.359 --> 01:38:19.479
to use it. And uncle, ever, if he shows up tonight,

1648
01:38:19.560 --> 01:38:20.640
you'd better use it.

1649
01:38:21.039 --> 01:38:23.399
Maybe he's come back into the house through the back way.

1650
01:38:23.560 --> 01:38:26.479
I'll go through the house again if you like this time,

1651
01:38:26.520 --> 01:38:29.479
I'll start with the attical. Be careful, God, I will.

1652
01:38:32.199 --> 01:38:32.439
John.

1653
01:38:32.479 --> 01:38:34.880
I don't like him and I don't think he likes

1654
01:38:34.880 --> 01:38:38.760
me either. Probably what's fair.

1655
01:38:38.840 --> 01:38:43.520
Must be God must have met Uncle Everett hiding up there.

1656
01:38:43.520 --> 01:38:44.720
Stay right here, Patty and hold on that.

1657
01:38:44.880 --> 01:38:45.079
John.

1658
01:38:45.119 --> 01:38:45.760
Be careful.

1659
01:38:46.560 --> 01:38:47.840
John, come back and fright.

1660
01:38:48.039 --> 01:38:54.279
I'm afraid to be alone.

1661
01:38:53.920 --> 01:39:02.520
It's nothing to be afraid of. Have this gun. And

1662
01:39:02.560 --> 01:39:11.319
if anybody comes the light light's what alf who?

1663
01:39:12.439 --> 01:39:13.000
Who's there?

1664
01:39:15.199 --> 01:39:18.920
Who's in this room? Don't come any closer. I have

1665
01:39:18.960 --> 01:39:21.279
a gun and I'll shoot. I can't see you, but

1666
01:39:21.439 --> 01:39:23.920
i'll shoot at the south yeh.

1667
01:39:26.920 --> 01:39:31.800
Rap my neck, my car.

1668
01:39:32.159 --> 01:39:34.359
Shoot it's not clothed.

1669
01:39:34.680 --> 01:39:36.319
I took the words out when you left it in

1670
01:39:36.359 --> 01:39:36.800
the car.

1671
01:39:37.279 --> 01:39:37.600
Gold.

1672
01:39:38.119 --> 01:39:39.319
Yes, ma'am, it's gold.

1673
01:39:39.600 --> 01:39:41.520
Mister John is busy up there in the attic of

1674
01:39:41.600 --> 01:39:44.880
the body of mister Everald. I killed him too, And

1675
01:39:44.920 --> 01:39:48.720
when mister John comes downstairs, he'll find you and I'll

1676
01:39:48.760 --> 01:39:52.520
cut him down in the dark with my side. There

1677
01:39:52.520 --> 01:39:55.720
were others besides the pirate LaRue who hated Stuart Loomis.

1678
01:39:55.760 --> 01:39:57.920
Like my own great grandfather. He was in the service

1679
01:39:57.920 --> 01:40:00.479
of Stuart Loomis and he hated him. When the room

1680
01:40:00.560 --> 01:40:02.640
lady the curse on the loomis Is, my great grandfather

1681
01:40:02.720 --> 01:40:05.720
decided to make it come true. It was he who

1682
01:40:05.760 --> 01:40:09.319
strangled the wife of Stuart Loomis. Through the years the gods,

1683
01:40:09.359 --> 01:40:14.079
from father to son have handed down there, your mad

1684
01:40:15.520 --> 01:40:19.439
I tightened the loose. And are you w's a dark and.

1685
01:40:19.960 --> 01:40:21.760
Jopp John.

1686
01:40:27.439 --> 01:40:29.279
John John.

1687
01:40:30.600 --> 01:40:43.720
Mm hm, Oh, who is it?

1688
01:40:52.920 --> 01:40:54.960
We finished forever with the Loomis?

1689
01:40:59.640 --> 01:40:59.920
Mhm.

1690
01:41:09.920 --> 01:41:13.800
Well that was a pretty rough honeymoon for Belly. But

1691
01:41:13.920 --> 01:41:17.760
you know there's a lesson in her story for forgetful wives.

1692
01:41:19.159 --> 01:41:21.800
If you keep tying little colored strings to your fingers

1693
01:41:21.840 --> 01:41:24.720
to remind you of things and you still can't remember them,

1694
01:41:25.880 --> 01:41:29.600
why not try a rope neatly tied around your neck.

1695
01:41:30.359 --> 01:41:32.840
It's sure to help you forget.

1696
01:41:34.960 --> 01:41:37.720
Oh, dear mister host, there you go telling our listeners

1697
01:41:37.760 --> 01:41:40.199
how to forget things. When I've got something for them

1698
01:41:40.239 --> 01:41:40.840
to remember.

1699
01:41:41.119 --> 01:41:43.279
Oh, I didn't realize that, Mary. What is it you

1700
01:41:43.399 --> 01:41:44.680
want them to remember?

1701
01:41:46.359 --> 01:41:49.239
It's lipped in tea, folks, and you don't need any

1702
01:41:49.279 --> 01:41:52.119
string tied on your finger or any such reminder to

1703
01:41:52.239 --> 01:41:53.079
make sure you get it.

1704
01:41:53.119 --> 01:41:54.680
When you visit your grocers tomorrow.

1705
01:41:55.119 --> 01:41:57.560
Just remember that Lipton's is the tea with the wonderful

1706
01:41:57.720 --> 01:42:01.159
brisk flavor, the fine quality tea that gives you all

1707
01:42:01.279 --> 01:42:04.279
the goodness nature meant you to have. I wish you'd

1708
01:42:04.319 --> 01:42:07.319
try a cup of Liptons soon, because it's so delicious.

1709
01:42:07.800 --> 01:42:11.399
Just ask your grocer for Lipton's. Remember Lipton's is the

1710
01:42:11.479 --> 01:42:13.439
tea with brisk flavor.

1711
01:42:22.720 --> 01:42:26.439
And so our evenings over with the usual quota of

1712
01:42:26.680 --> 01:42:31.479
corpses to qualify for the Ghoul School, we're working on

1713
01:42:31.600 --> 01:42:37.319
a special matriculation for bachelor gools. In the case you

1714
01:42:37.399 --> 01:42:41.000
didn't know, a bachelor gul is one who believes that

1715
01:42:41.239 --> 01:42:44.199
two can die as cheaply as one.

1716
01:42:48.560 --> 01:42:53.920
Until then, good eye, pleasant dreams.

1717
01:43:06.359 --> 01:43:10.760
Well, I suppose that was a bit intense, My dear.

1718
01:43:11.439 --> 01:43:14.319
I hope you are enjoying yourself as much as I am.

1719
01:43:15.199 --> 01:43:22.520
I do so enjoy these visits of yours. I've been

1720
01:43:22.720 --> 01:43:26.960
thinking a lot since our last meeting. Thank you so

1721
01:43:27.199 --> 01:43:33.319
much again for humoring me, allowing me to visit and

1722
01:43:34.680 --> 01:43:39.880
see the world that you existed. In a way I

1723
01:43:40.039 --> 01:43:44.000
see it, but in a way I do not. Even

1724
01:43:44.039 --> 01:43:48.880
at my age, I'm learning new things. I'm now certain

1725
01:43:49.960 --> 01:43:52.680
that no grave can hold me.

1726
01:44:05.760 --> 01:44:10.279
The Mutual Broadcasting System presents the Mysterious Traveler, written but

1727
01:44:10.399 --> 01:44:12.960
You Stand, directed by Robert Ay Arthur and David Cooker.

1728
01:44:13.399 --> 01:44:16.319
I'm figuring tonight, who are Radio's most distinguished personality is

1729
01:44:16.680 --> 01:44:18.880
Sato Sortega and Richard Cooker?

1730
01:44:19.239 --> 01:44:31.479
In No Graves can hold Me? This is a mysterious traveler.

1731
01:44:31.840 --> 01:44:34.600
Might you to join me on another journey that a

1732
01:44:34.640 --> 01:44:36.920
realm of the strange and the terrified.

1733
01:44:37.840 --> 01:44:40.479
I hope you will enjoy the trip, and it will

1734
01:44:40.680 --> 01:44:43.680
thrill you a little and chill you a little as

1735
01:44:43.720 --> 01:44:47.560
we travel tonight, either the world of shadows, of which

1736
01:44:48.119 --> 01:44:51.600
no man may return, and we learn the story.

1737
01:44:51.319 --> 01:44:55.239
Of one who does return. It's the story I call

1738
01:44:56.319 --> 01:45:07.720
No Grave can hold Me. My story starts in a

1739
01:45:07.840 --> 01:45:10.520
court of law where a man is on trial for

1740
01:45:10.640 --> 01:45:14.079
his life. The court room is tense, for the jury

1741
01:45:14.239 --> 01:45:18.039
is out deciding the prisoner's fate. But the prisoner himself,

1742
01:45:18.600 --> 01:45:21.800
a tall man with glossy black hair and piercing eyes,

1743
01:45:22.479 --> 01:45:26.119
sits calmly with his lawyer, his daughter Nora, and his

1744
01:45:26.239 --> 01:45:29.840
son in law Harry Wilson, waiting for the fateful verdict.

1745
01:45:30.479 --> 01:45:34.039
Y father, I think the jury is coming in up.

1746
01:45:35.239 --> 01:45:37.319
They say it's a bad sign when the jury is

1747
01:45:37.359 --> 01:45:38.520
out for such a short while.

1748
01:45:38.760 --> 01:45:41.359
You need not worry either of you.

1749
01:45:42.560 --> 01:45:43.720
I shall be free.

1750
01:45:43.960 --> 01:45:46.640
I certainly hope so ran off. But oh, you know

1751
01:45:46.800 --> 01:45:47.960
you did have met your kill.

1752
01:45:47.800 --> 01:45:51.279
Clements, because he insulted me. He called me a mount

1753
01:45:51.279 --> 01:45:54.199
to bank of Charlotte and a trickster. He called the

1754
01:45:54.279 --> 01:45:58.000
great Randolph a faker. So he died.

1755
01:45:58.399 --> 01:46:02.960
There They come a father and frightened and.

1756
01:46:03.119 --> 01:46:06.520
Taking any places in the jury backs now loosely grim

1757
01:46:06.800 --> 01:46:14.279
hir red pete, have no fear for me, Amon of

1758
01:46:14.359 --> 01:46:14.760
the jury.

1759
01:46:16.560 --> 01:46:19.920
As the jury reached their verdicts and has her honner.

1760
01:46:21.159 --> 01:46:25.640
What is the verdict? Very current, independant, guilty as charis

1761
01:46:26.119 --> 01:46:31.119
a murder in the first grill. It finds your guilty.

1762
01:46:31.479 --> 01:46:36.399
And fools, they too think that I'm an impostorate trickster.

1763
01:46:37.920 --> 01:46:44.159
They shall learn different if I die, so shall they.

1764
01:46:44.439 --> 01:46:48.640
The prisoner will rise for me to stand up. The

1765
01:46:48.920 --> 01:46:51.359
prisoner will rise very well.

1766
01:46:52.800 --> 01:46:56.439
I'll stand up, so that they will recognize my face

1767
01:46:56.479 --> 01:46:57.439
again when they see it.

1768
01:46:57.560 --> 01:46:58.720
Suddenly in the night.

1769
01:47:00.239 --> 01:47:03.439
And know that death has come to claim them.

1770
01:47:06.439 --> 01:47:11.840
Maximilian Randolph, you have been found guilty of the crime

1771
01:47:11.920 --> 01:47:16.399
of murder in the first degree. It is the sentence

1772
01:47:16.479 --> 01:47:19.560
of this court that you shall suffer the punishment of death.

1773
01:47:20.680 --> 01:47:25.880
On the night of June sixth, at midnight, and may

1774
01:47:25.960 --> 01:47:40.000
God have mercy on your soul, resident of mister Randolph.

1775
01:47:40.560 --> 01:47:43.680
Thank you God. Miller in Jim for only five minutes.

1776
01:47:44.520 --> 01:47:52.439
Yes all right, guard, Oh render good evening, Harry. I

1777
01:47:52.560 --> 01:47:55.000
see that my guard Miller managed to get you in

1778
01:47:55.079 --> 01:47:56.720
to see me. Yes he did.

1779
01:47:58.119 --> 01:48:00.279
Thinness is a short well.

1780
01:48:00.479 --> 01:48:07.239
I know it's almost midnight, and at midnight I die.

1781
01:48:08.880 --> 01:48:13.159
But God Miller has become a good friend. I knew

1782
01:48:13.239 --> 01:48:14.119
he'd arrange it.

1783
01:48:15.079 --> 01:48:17.720
Now when I saw the governor this afternoony, you refuse

1784
01:48:17.800 --> 01:48:18.239
to do a thing.

1785
01:48:18.399 --> 01:48:22.479
It does not matter. What is death but a new

1786
01:48:22.640 --> 01:48:26.479
garment for the soul to wear. Nor I was waiting outside.

1787
01:48:27.199 --> 01:48:28.920
You said you didn't want to see it tonight. That

1788
01:48:29.359 --> 01:48:33.680
is as I wished you were my assistant. You were

1789
01:48:33.800 --> 01:48:37.319
very close to you and die. And now there is

1790
01:48:37.359 --> 01:48:39.640
the last promise you must make to me.

1791
01:48:40.520 --> 01:48:41.279
Anything ran off.

1792
01:48:42.199 --> 01:48:46.880
When you receive my body the empty husk of the

1793
01:48:47.079 --> 01:48:52.000
Great Randolph. Bury it in a vault with a bronze

1794
01:48:52.159 --> 01:48:58.840
door which faces east about pacing. There's the curse.

1795
01:48:59.079 --> 01:48:59.800
The door must be.

1796
01:48:59.840 --> 01:49:03.439
Locked with a padlock of bronze, but it must be

1797
01:49:03.560 --> 01:49:05.640
possible to open it from the inside.

1798
01:49:06.239 --> 01:49:08.000
But without using a key.

1799
01:49:09.119 --> 01:49:16.680
And the coffin must be locked shut as well, but

1800
01:49:16.960 --> 01:49:20.159
I must be able to open it from the inside.

1801
01:49:21.079 --> 01:49:22.920
Randal, I'll show you how serious.

1802
01:49:22.720 --> 01:49:24.359
I never chose.

1803
01:49:25.880 --> 01:49:29.000
All this. And one thing more.

1804
01:49:30.920 --> 01:49:34.119
Promise, all right, I promise.

1805
01:49:34.800 --> 01:49:39.319
When I am buried, beneath my head must rest a

1806
01:49:39.399 --> 01:49:45.960
notebook daring the names and addresses of the twelve jurymen

1807
01:49:46.000 --> 01:49:52.119
who found me guilty, of the prosecuting attorney, and of

1808
01:49:52.359 --> 01:49:55.840
the judge. But why Randall, that I'm in a way

1809
01:49:55.920 --> 01:50:00.479
to seek my vengeance upon them, the vengeance I have sworn,

1810
01:50:01.840 --> 01:50:05.439
which must be executed before my soul can sleep.

1811
01:50:05.560 --> 01:50:10.760
Oh rand Or that's madness, you disbelieve, so do they.

1812
01:50:12.239 --> 01:50:17.640
But in my studies I have learned many things, and

1813
01:50:17.840 --> 01:50:20.000
one of them is how to reach back from behind

1814
01:50:20.119 --> 01:50:29.319
the dark curtain of death. Time is up to thank you, Mamma, goodbye, Harry.

1815
01:50:30.479 --> 01:50:35.239
Just tell me one more thing. Is the full moon

1816
01:50:36.079 --> 01:50:40.640
shining tonight? Yes, the full moon tonight?

1817
01:50:41.079 --> 01:50:41.359
Good?

1818
01:50:42.880 --> 01:50:47.880
And each time hereafter that it shines, one of my

1819
01:50:48.359 --> 01:51:01.960
enemies will join me in death. And so the Great

1820
01:51:02.079 --> 01:51:05.960
Randolph went to his execution and was buried according to

1821
01:51:06.039 --> 01:51:10.800
his instructions. After a few days, his case was forgotten,

1822
01:51:11.560 --> 01:51:13.840
forgotten by all but Harry.

1823
01:51:13.640 --> 01:51:15.000
Wilson, his son in law.

1824
01:51:16.199 --> 01:51:16.359
Well.

1825
01:51:16.359 --> 01:51:19.000
As the first month passed and the full moon again

1826
01:51:19.199 --> 01:51:21.279
shone in the windows of his apartment.

1827
01:51:21.399 --> 01:51:23.560
A strange restlessness possessed Harry.

1828
01:51:26.359 --> 01:51:27.920
Harry, what's wrong with you?

1829
01:51:28.520 --> 01:51:31.279
I'm sorry, norry, but tonight the night at the full moon,

1830
01:51:31.359 --> 01:51:33.399
and I'm nervous. I can't help it.

1831
01:51:33.520 --> 01:51:36.680
Oh, darling, you're not worrying about father, are you about

1832
01:51:36.720 --> 01:51:37.159
his threat?

1833
01:51:37.319 --> 01:51:38.079
Yes? I am.

1834
01:51:38.199 --> 01:51:42.640
Oh, but that's absurd. Poor father. Toward the end, I'm

1835
01:51:42.640 --> 01:51:44.960
afraid he was suffering from delusions, and he was more

1836
01:51:44.960 --> 01:51:49.000
than just an ordinary man. He wasn't entirely saying.

1837
01:51:48.880 --> 01:51:51.199
No, maybe not, but he was so sure of himself,

1838
01:51:51.279 --> 01:51:53.680
so certain, and most instructions for the way he was

1839
01:51:53.720 --> 01:51:57.319
to be buried. Oh, of course, I'm just being foolish.

1840
01:51:57.359 --> 01:51:59.520
Why don't you go out and walk for a while, Harry.

1841
01:51:59.560 --> 01:52:01.039
It'll help, all right, all right?

1842
01:52:01.119 --> 01:52:03.279
I will you want to come along? It's a nice night.

1843
01:52:03.520 --> 01:52:05.199
No, I think I'll stay all right.

1844
01:52:05.279 --> 01:52:08.560
I'll be back in an hour, So dear, nothing happens

1845
01:52:08.600 --> 01:52:11.399
to night. I'll know that Randolph is just putting on

1846
01:52:11.520 --> 01:52:11.840
a neck.

1847
01:52:19.680 --> 01:52:22.199
A little later, another man was also walking in the

1848
01:52:22.239 --> 01:52:25.880
moonlight of a beautiful July evening. This one was short

1849
01:52:26.000 --> 01:52:29.399
and stout. He was throwing homeward from a small poker

1850
01:52:29.479 --> 01:52:32.680
party with his friends when in the dark shadow was

1851
01:52:32.800 --> 01:52:35.000
cast by the trees along the edge of the park,

1852
01:52:35.800 --> 01:52:38.399
A tall figure stepped directly into his pouch.

1853
01:52:41.159 --> 01:52:42.199
Just a moment.

1854
01:52:43.640 --> 01:52:45.319
Here, What do you want?

1855
01:52:45.680 --> 01:52:47.119
Just to talk to you?

1856
01:52:47.680 --> 01:52:50.359
I don't want to talk to you. Get my first,

1857
01:52:50.760 --> 01:52:54.760
my friend, look an say, what is.

1858
01:52:54.760 --> 01:52:55.399
This a hold up?

1859
01:52:55.520 --> 01:52:58.760
No, Adam, it is not the holder. And why he

1860
01:52:58.960 --> 01:52:59.960
threatening me with that guy?

1861
01:53:00.840 --> 01:53:03.199
I've got the start coming in face because my face

1862
01:53:03.239 --> 01:53:06.000
has changed in the months since I was executed and

1863
01:53:06.159 --> 01:53:08.439
buried rather frightening.

1864
01:53:08.600 --> 01:53:10.880
Now what you're saying, why are you anyway?

1865
01:53:10.920 --> 01:53:13.760
You're beginning to recognize my voice signs you you know

1866
01:53:13.840 --> 01:53:14.359
who I am.

1867
01:53:15.479 --> 01:53:17.760
You just don't want to admit it to yourself. But

1868
01:53:18.039 --> 01:53:22.119
great Randa, whom you was forming of a jury, caused

1869
01:53:22.199 --> 01:53:22.960
to the exit.

1870
01:53:23.600 --> 01:53:25.039
No, no, it's not possible.

1871
01:53:25.159 --> 01:53:27.640
No, I want to come back from the no ordinary man,

1872
01:53:28.600 --> 01:53:33.600
but the great Ramda. No, I don't believe it. A

1873
01:53:33.800 --> 01:53:34.640
check of some kind?

1874
01:53:34.960 --> 01:53:36.840
Is this thick gadom?

1875
01:53:37.800 --> 01:53:52.239
Is it? Is it? O?

1876
01:53:56.279 --> 01:53:56.520
Hello?

1877
01:53:57.479 --> 01:53:57.760
Hello?

1878
01:53:57.960 --> 01:53:58.199
Naura?

1879
01:53:59.640 --> 01:54:02.439
Is how there no he's out for a walk.

1880
01:54:03.079 --> 01:54:03.479
Who is it?

1881
01:54:04.000 --> 01:54:08.000
Don't you recognize my voice? Norah, surely you heard it

1882
01:54:08.079 --> 01:54:08.680
often enough.

1883
01:54:09.760 --> 01:54:12.359
Father, Oh no, it can't be.

1884
01:54:12.960 --> 01:54:18.600
Strange house skeptical. Everyone is of me, even my own daughter.

1885
01:54:19.239 --> 01:54:19.479
Father.

1886
01:54:19.800 --> 01:54:20.159
You you.

1887
01:54:21.800 --> 01:54:22.359
Who do you want?

1888
01:54:22.640 --> 01:54:23.760
I just wanted to tell.

1889
01:54:23.640 --> 01:54:26.680
Harry that I claimed the first victim of my vengeance

1890
01:54:27.760 --> 01:54:32.039
exactly on the stroke of midnight, the same minute when

1891
01:54:32.079 --> 01:54:37.399
I die. And I wanted to warn him that he

1892
01:54:37.479 --> 01:54:39.199
must do nothing to interfere.

1893
01:54:38.840 --> 01:54:39.920
With my plans.

1894
01:54:41.520 --> 01:54:45.720
Oh, if he does, I shall have to add him

1895
01:54:47.279 --> 01:54:49.319
to my list and victims.

1896
01:54:57.560 --> 01:54:59.600
No, no, are you He's tough on.

1897
01:55:00.039 --> 01:55:01.039
If you want to speak to me.

1898
01:55:01.359 --> 01:55:04.520
He is Harry. Just a little after twelve, he said

1899
01:55:04.560 --> 01:55:05.119
that he yes.

1900
01:55:05.199 --> 01:55:05.439
I know.

1901
01:55:05.520 --> 01:55:06.159
I heard the news.

1902
01:55:06.199 --> 01:55:07.760
I was in the restaurant having coffee and came off

1903
01:55:07.800 --> 01:55:11.039
the radio. Adam's performan of the jury found strangle in

1904
01:55:11.079 --> 01:55:11.680
front of his home.

1905
01:55:11.920 --> 01:55:18.119
But it's impossible, and yet it was his voice, Harry, father's.

1906
01:55:17.720 --> 01:55:20.880
Roy always got to do something. I've got to warn

1907
01:55:20.920 --> 01:55:23.039
the others on that list. The other juror has bored

1908
01:55:23.159 --> 01:55:24.880
in the district attorney and Judge Dexter.

1909
01:55:25.319 --> 01:55:27.279
He said, you try to I know that that doesn't matter.

1910
01:55:27.960 --> 01:55:30.359
In the morning, I'm going to Attorney Bald and he'll

1911
01:55:30.399 --> 01:55:30.800
believe me.

1912
01:55:31.640 --> 01:55:32.239
You have to.

1913
01:55:38.600 --> 01:55:40.800
But mister Bob, you've got to listen to me. You've

1914
01:55:40.800 --> 01:55:42.279
got to warn the others. You've got to give them

1915
01:55:42.319 --> 01:55:46.159
protection or they'll die, just as Adams did. Whilst I'm

1916
01:55:46.159 --> 01:55:48.319
a busy man, I have not full my mind without

1917
01:55:48.359 --> 01:55:51.359
having to listen to wild eyed stories like the one

1918
01:55:51.439 --> 01:55:52.000
you just told.

1919
01:55:52.079 --> 01:55:55.279
Oh, but it's true. Were also instructions about the way

1920
01:55:55.319 --> 01:55:57.119
you want to be buried the notebook that I.

1921
01:55:57.159 --> 01:56:00.239
Put in the coffin with him, mere theatrical Mama. Sorry,

1922
01:56:00.960 --> 01:56:03.920
Adams was the victim of an ordinary street mugging. That's

1923
01:56:03.960 --> 01:56:04.680
all there is to it.

1924
01:56:04.840 --> 01:56:05.960
I have to ask you to leave.

1925
01:56:06.079 --> 01:56:15.560
I have more important things to tend to. Mister Lord,

1926
01:56:15.640 --> 01:56:18.039
you're a sensible man. You adit the biggest newspaper in

1927
01:56:18.119 --> 01:56:20.399
this city. If you'll only paid what I've told you,

1928
01:56:20.479 --> 01:56:22.920
the authorities will have to take some action. Onsn't my

1929
01:56:23.079 --> 01:56:25.640
job as to bend news fire reader, not ghost stories?

1930
01:56:25.960 --> 01:56:28.560
Why rang your story? I'd be fire tomorrow. Then you

1931
01:56:28.640 --> 01:56:29.920
don't believe me and tell her.

1932
01:56:29.880 --> 01:56:30.319
What I will do.

1933
01:56:31.159 --> 01:56:33.359
I'll make a story for the Sunday supplement out. Oh

1934
01:56:33.399 --> 01:56:34.279
that won't do any good.

1935
01:56:34.279 --> 01:56:36.159
If it's in a Sunday supplement, people might just smile

1936
01:56:36.239 --> 01:56:37.920
at us when they see if they don't know.

1937
01:56:38.000 --> 01:56:38.800
It's just a story.

1938
01:56:38.880 --> 01:56:41.039
And I'm afraid there's no use in talking any further. Wilson,

1939
01:56:41.119 --> 01:56:43.000
all right, I'll go to other papers. One of them

1940
01:56:43.039 --> 01:56:44.520
will have to believe. I don't advise it.

1941
01:56:45.199 --> 01:56:47.000
You run a shop, don't you telling tricks and magic?

1942
01:56:47.039 --> 01:56:47.359
Got Rad?

1943
01:56:47.560 --> 01:56:48.359
Yes, yes, that's right.

1944
01:56:48.840 --> 01:56:49.600
Why just this?

1945
01:56:50.199 --> 01:56:52.439
Those papers don't believe in getting free publicity, and that's

1946
01:56:52.520 --> 01:56:53.680
obviously what you're after.

1947
01:56:53.840 --> 01:56:54.640
Good diama to us.

1948
01:57:01.560 --> 01:57:04.800
I'm very sorry, mister Wilson. But Judge Dexter is unable

1949
01:57:04.880 --> 01:57:05.199
to see you.

1950
01:57:05.439 --> 01:57:07.880
But mister Jew explained to him what it's about, how

1951
01:57:07.960 --> 01:57:08.720
important it is.

1952
01:57:08.920 --> 01:57:10.800
The judge said, if you can't write him a letter,

1953
01:57:10.880 --> 01:57:12.359
he give the matter his consideration.

1954
01:57:12.439 --> 01:57:13.119
Oh that's not good.

1955
01:57:13.600 --> 01:57:14.680
I got to talk to him.

1956
01:57:14.800 --> 01:57:17.199
I'm sorry. He's leaving today for his vacation, and he

1957
01:57:17.239 --> 01:57:19.319
woke me back for a month. I have he'll be

1958
01:57:19.359 --> 01:57:21.319
able to see you then, but he simply can't see

1959
01:57:21.359 --> 01:57:21.720
you now.

1960
01:57:28.079 --> 01:57:29.960
None of them would listen to me, nor they I

1961
01:57:30.000 --> 01:57:32.520
thought I was crazy, but I wanted publicity.

1962
01:57:32.640 --> 01:57:33.880
They all tell me to forget it.

1963
01:57:34.079 --> 01:57:36.840
They're right, Harry, that's the only thing to do, to

1964
01:57:36.920 --> 01:57:40.760
forget it. But maybe we're wrong. Maybe Adam's death last

1965
01:57:40.840 --> 01:57:44.039
night was just a coincidence. I'm sure father had nothing

1966
01:57:44.039 --> 01:57:44.439
to do with it.

1967
01:57:44.560 --> 01:57:46.159
Oh no, no, no, he telephoned you.

1968
01:57:46.359 --> 01:57:47.119
You heard his boy?

1969
01:57:47.359 --> 01:57:50.520
Well, I'm not sure now that I did. Maybe it

1970
01:57:50.600 --> 01:57:53.439
was a dream, Harry, Maybe I just imagined it. So

1971
01:57:53.640 --> 01:58:05.520
forget the whole thing. Please, Harry, for my sake, forget it. Oh,

1972
01:58:05.840 --> 01:58:09.680
Harry Darling, it's no good just pacing up and down.

1973
01:58:10.720 --> 01:58:12.079
Please sit down and try to.

1974
01:58:12.479 --> 01:58:16.560
I can't, Norah, I can't. Tonight, the second full moon

1975
01:58:16.680 --> 01:58:19.279
since Randof was executed. He'll be leaving his grave tonight

1976
01:58:19.359 --> 01:58:22.720
and someone else we're gone. But Harry, there ought to

1977
01:58:22.760 --> 01:58:23.720
be a guard over the wolf.

1978
01:58:23.800 --> 01:58:24.439
He's buried in it.

1979
01:58:25.119 --> 01:58:27.000
I'm not that gon't doing good if he came back

1980
01:58:27.039 --> 01:58:29.720
to him, and I'm Daddy wouldn't be violied by a guard.

1981
01:58:30.319 --> 01:58:33.640
Please, Harry, you've done the best you can. And if

1982
01:58:33.680 --> 01:58:35.560
it is true, when you go on like this, will

1983
01:58:35.600 --> 01:58:36.399
you be endangered?

1984
01:58:36.560 --> 01:58:39.600
I don't care that list Nora. The names on him

1985
01:58:39.640 --> 01:58:42.680
were alphabetical and Adam's the foreman, was the first to die.

1986
01:58:43.520 --> 01:58:44.279
What are you driving?

1987
01:58:44.560 --> 01:58:45.520
The second name on the.

1988
01:58:45.560 --> 01:58:49.119
List is Baldwin, the district attorneyed. Baldwin wouldn't listen to

1989
01:58:49.159 --> 01:58:52.159
me last time, but the night he's got to going

1990
01:58:52.199 --> 01:59:01.039
your home now while it's still time, mister Bodin, you

1991
01:59:01.159 --> 01:59:03.920
are in danger tonight, I'm sure of It's deadly danger.

1992
01:59:04.600 --> 01:59:06.640
Now you mean it. I'm sure we'll yet.

1993
01:59:06.920 --> 01:59:08.720
I thought it was some kind of a gag before.

1994
01:59:09.159 --> 01:59:11.640
Now I can see you fully believe everything you've said.

1995
01:59:11.880 --> 01:59:15.399
Oh, and you will take precautions, at least for tonight.

1996
01:59:16.199 --> 01:59:18.439
I've been an officer of the law for thirty years.

1997
01:59:18.800 --> 01:59:21.439
I've been threatened by a lot of convicted murderers, but

1998
01:59:21.640 --> 01:59:23.840
not one of them has come back to get me yet.

1999
01:59:23.960 --> 01:59:26.319
But you don't understand the great brand office different. He

2000
01:59:26.439 --> 01:59:28.119
had powers that we know nothing of.

2001
01:59:28.159 --> 01:59:32.000
Power perhaps perhaps, but I doubt it now, And I

2002
01:59:32.239 --> 01:59:34.359
appreciate your warning, but I can't.

2003
01:59:34.159 --> 01:59:37.640
Take it serious really, and you won't guide yourself no

2004
01:59:37.800 --> 01:59:40.079
more than usual. I lock the door presently.

2005
01:59:40.600 --> 01:59:43.800
I'm sure that'll keep out any ghosts who may come

2006
01:59:43.880 --> 01:59:44.199
this way.

2007
01:59:44.359 --> 01:59:47.319
Mister Baldon, please, it's almost midnight at least let me

2008
01:59:47.359 --> 01:59:50.920
stay with you for another hour. I'm sorry, but I'm

2009
01:59:50.920 --> 01:59:54.239
about ready to turn in. I expect to sleep well too.

2010
01:59:54.760 --> 01:59:57.560
Now you go on home, do the same, because nobody's

2011
01:59:57.600 --> 02:00:00.640
going to be harmed tonight by the great brand law spook.

2012
02:00:00.960 --> 02:00:01.640
I guarantee it.

2013
02:00:01.760 --> 02:00:04.439
Oh no, I please, I wish you'd I couldn't think

2014
02:00:04.479 --> 02:00:06.359
of it. Now you can find your way out yourself,

2015
02:00:06.399 --> 02:00:09.439
can't you. I'm sure, yes, of course, all right, Just

2016
02:00:09.760 --> 02:00:13.640
and I won't bother any longer. Good night, Good listen.

2017
02:00:16.720 --> 02:00:20.840
Oh he's gone, said the poor fellow is his gosst

2018
02:00:21.680 --> 02:00:23.079
hm ran.

2019
02:00:23.000 --> 02:00:27.199
Those ghosts, and I hope I never have anything worse to.

2020
02:00:27.199 --> 02:00:27.760
Be afraid of?

2021
02:00:27.880 --> 02:00:27.920
You?

2022
02:00:29.680 --> 02:00:30.159
Who's there?

2023
02:00:32.640 --> 02:00:33.119
Who came in?

2024
02:00:33.319 --> 02:00:33.600
Just now?

2025
02:00:35.199 --> 02:00:35.640
Whenson?

2026
02:00:35.960 --> 02:00:36.800
Is that you again?

2027
02:00:37.000 --> 02:00:37.199
Oh?

2028
02:00:37.399 --> 02:00:40.560
My friend, it is not Wilson?

2029
02:00:41.560 --> 02:00:42.039
Who are you?

2030
02:00:42.600 --> 02:00:43.640
What the Devil's the meaning of this?

2031
02:00:44.720 --> 02:00:46.079
You don't recognize me?

2032
02:00:46.279 --> 02:00:46.439
Then?

2033
02:00:47.119 --> 02:00:49.760
How can I cloak? With the collar pulled up over

2034
02:00:49.800 --> 02:00:52.319
your face? That is despair the world, a sight that

2035
02:00:52.399 --> 02:00:55.000
would remain for ever hidden within the darkness of I've

2036
02:00:55.119 --> 02:00:57.840
coughin but my voice.

2037
02:00:59.600 --> 02:01:01.319
Sure you recognize that?

2038
02:01:02.039 --> 02:01:03.079
What are you talking about?

2039
02:01:03.359 --> 02:01:04.079
Get out at once.

2040
02:01:04.199 --> 02:01:05.119
I'll call for the police.

2041
02:01:05.199 --> 02:01:10.199
It would take their powers to arrest me. They have

2042
02:01:10.399 --> 02:01:18.039
no authority in the world, to which I no, No,

2043
02:01:18.279 --> 02:01:18.920
it can't be.

2044
02:01:19.199 --> 02:01:21.520
I see you have recognized me.

2045
02:01:22.840 --> 02:01:27.359
You should have taken Wilson's barn in Baldwin because I'm here,

2046
02:01:28.479 --> 02:01:32.560
the Great Randou at your services.

2047
02:01:33.399 --> 02:01:34.319
It's impossible.

2048
02:01:34.399 --> 02:01:39.680
That's been said of so many things as But I

2049
02:01:39.920 --> 02:01:43.880
think I can convince you no, stay away.

2050
02:01:45.840 --> 02:01:49.399
That won't do you any good by the time anyone

2051
02:01:49.600 --> 02:01:54.159
comes who will have joined me in the world of God.

2052
02:02:03.399 --> 02:02:06.640
Laurah, Laura, where are you, Laura?

2053
02:02:07.319 --> 02:02:07.600
Harry?

2054
02:02:07.680 --> 02:02:09.159
I can hear you calling all the way down the

2055
02:02:09.199 --> 02:02:11.239
hall where you've been. I just went out to get

2056
02:02:11.239 --> 02:02:12.039
the morning papers.

2057
02:02:12.119 --> 02:02:13.880
Why, why it's happened again?

2058
02:02:14.439 --> 02:02:18.279
District Attorney Bowen has been killed, but exactly the same

2059
02:02:18.319 --> 02:02:19.479
way mister Adams was killed.

2060
02:02:19.479 --> 02:02:23.159
Strangled. Just admit now, Oh no, I think I know

2061
02:02:23.319 --> 02:02:23.640
the truth.

2062
02:02:23.720 --> 02:02:25.520
Now what do you mean.

2063
02:02:25.840 --> 02:02:28.840
I don't believe it was your father at all. I

2064
02:02:28.920 --> 02:02:46.199
think it was I that killed them. I chilled them both. Ill, No,

2065
02:02:46.359 --> 02:02:48.399
you got to do it. There's a full moon tonight.

2066
02:02:48.479 --> 02:02:50.079
You've got to lock me in this apartment.

2067
02:02:50.319 --> 02:02:53.399
But hell, you couldn't possibly killed those two me.

2068
02:02:53.560 --> 02:02:55.920
I could. I was near the scene at both times.

2069
02:02:55.960 --> 02:02:57.000
In my mind.

2070
02:02:57.319 --> 02:02:59.279
It wasn't cleared. I don't remember doing it, but don't

2071
02:02:59.319 --> 02:03:02.680
you see it? If i'd been hypnotized, I wouldn't remember, Darling.

2072
02:03:02.800 --> 02:03:05.960
Father couldn't have hypnotized you into committing murder hit. A

2073
02:03:06.000 --> 02:03:09.199
law of hypnosis, the subject will do anything he knows

2074
02:03:09.319 --> 02:03:09.720
is wrong.

2075
02:03:09.880 --> 02:03:12.720
I know that, but I can't be sure. I believe

2076
02:03:12.760 --> 02:03:14.680
that in most few minutes I was with him, somehow

2077
02:03:14.800 --> 02:03:17.439
Randolph impressed on my mind orders to carry out his

2078
02:03:17.600 --> 02:03:18.319
vengeance for him.

2079
02:03:18.439 --> 02:03:22.479
Oh, Darling, I'm sure he didn't. But if you insist,

2080
02:03:22.640 --> 02:03:23.640
I'll lock you up.

2081
02:03:23.560 --> 02:03:23.880
All right.

2082
02:03:24.159 --> 02:03:26.319
I want you to go now. Might not be safe

2083
02:03:26.359 --> 02:03:26.640
for you to.

2084
02:03:26.640 --> 02:03:29.000
Stay with me, all right, Harry, I'll go to a movie.

2085
02:03:29.239 --> 02:03:31.800
Got to stay locked in until after midnight. Then, even

2086
02:03:31.800 --> 02:03:33.279
if I am hypnotized, I won't be able to do

2087
02:03:33.319 --> 02:03:36.199
any harm. You do understand, norry, don't you?

2088
02:03:36.399 --> 02:03:36.520
Oh?

2089
02:03:36.600 --> 02:03:40.119
Of course, Darling. I'm sure you're wrong, but I'll do

2090
02:03:40.199 --> 02:03:41.000
anything you say.

2091
02:03:41.079 --> 02:03:44.520
All right, Now, lock me in and don't you come

2092
02:03:44.600 --> 02:03:46.359
back until after midnight.

2093
02:04:01.119 --> 02:04:03.920
M R.

2094
02:04:05.159 --> 02:04:06.880
Another hour and then i'll know.

2095
02:04:08.439 --> 02:04:12.079
Will Maybe I'll try to get out and I won't

2096
02:04:12.119 --> 02:04:13.000
remember it, but.

2097
02:04:15.039 --> 02:04:27.279
Teliphonna, Yes, Hello, Hello, Harry, Randolf. Yes, my boy, I'm

2098
02:04:27.399 --> 02:04:32.960
glad at least you don't say no, it's impossible.

2099
02:04:34.399 --> 02:04:35.199
Where are you, Rando?

2100
02:04:36.079 --> 02:04:37.359
That doesn't matter.

2101
02:04:39.119 --> 02:04:41.119
I just wanted to on you.

2102
02:04:42.960 --> 02:04:45.840
And don't try to interfere.

2103
02:04:47.000 --> 02:04:54.680
With my plans for Randolf, I thought, hello, oh, yeah,

2104
02:04:58.000 --> 02:04:59.960
who who's the I'm not the.

2105
02:05:01.680 --> 02:05:02.439
In that case.

2106
02:05:03.880 --> 02:05:07.560
Yes, that's the only possible answer. I know now what

2107
02:05:07.680 --> 02:05:08.239
the truth is.

2108
02:05:09.000 --> 02:05:09.920
I've got to get out of here.

2109
02:05:12.720 --> 02:05:15.079
I come back. It down with an axe. There's no

2110
02:05:15.279 --> 02:05:17.760
fire escape and a sap floor. It down to the street.

2111
02:05:19.119 --> 02:05:20.359
I have it the superintendent.

2112
02:05:20.439 --> 02:05:22.640
I can telephone the superintendent to tell him I locked in,

2113
02:05:22.720 --> 02:05:23.359
and then you'll come and.

2114
02:05:23.399 --> 02:05:34.960
Let me ask. Oh, that's dexter. First Adams died. Then

2115
02:05:35.920 --> 02:05:37.960
their names were the first two on the Great Adam

2116
02:05:38.239 --> 02:05:41.159
Randaus list. Your name is third Adam. So you think

2117
02:05:41.239 --> 02:05:43.960
that tonight I will scheduled to die. Yes, yes, I'm sure.

2118
02:05:44.199 --> 02:05:46.840
And you'll say you want Baldwin last month, just before

2119
02:05:46.880 --> 02:05:49.079
he was murdered, I did, and he laughed at me.

2120
02:05:49.279 --> 02:05:50.720
But he died just the same.

2121
02:05:50.840 --> 02:05:53.439
And you're seriously asking me to believe that a dead

2122
02:05:53.520 --> 02:05:56.640
man legally executed by the state. There's walking the streets

2123
02:05:56.680 --> 02:05:58.079
tonight seeking my life.

2124
02:05:58.159 --> 02:06:00.680
I tell you, he telephoned me only half an hour ago.

2125
02:06:00.760 --> 02:06:04.359
I recognized his voice. You know, of course, that your

2126
02:06:04.439 --> 02:06:07.119
story sounds like the ravings of an insane mind.

2127
02:06:07.279 --> 02:06:07.600
I know it.

2128
02:06:08.279 --> 02:06:10.880
That's why I've kept quiet this last month. I did

2129
02:06:11.119 --> 02:06:14.199
try to convince the police, the district attorney, and all

2130
02:06:14.279 --> 02:06:17.319
I got was laughed at it, and then, yes, yet,

2131
02:06:17.600 --> 02:06:21.039
obviously you're you're in earnest. I don't think you're crazy.

2132
02:06:21.279 --> 02:06:24.439
I'm not. For a little while, I thought that I

2133
02:06:24.640 --> 02:06:27.520
was the killer. You how I thought I was under

2134
02:06:27.600 --> 02:06:30.319
post hypnotic control, that Randolf had planted in my mind

2135
02:06:30.359 --> 02:06:33.239
the impulse to kill his enemies. But that phone call

2136
02:06:34.159 --> 02:06:36.399
proved that I was wrong. And what do you propose

2137
02:06:36.439 --> 02:06:36.760
that we do?

2138
02:06:37.479 --> 02:06:39.840
If we went to his tomb, perhaps then we'd learn

2139
02:06:39.920 --> 02:06:41.640
the truth. It was, what do you want to open

2140
02:06:41.760 --> 02:06:42.720
Randolph's tomb for?

2141
02:06:42.920 --> 02:06:43.439
Don't you see?

2142
02:06:43.520 --> 02:06:45.399
If we go there and we find Randolph is still

2143
02:06:45.439 --> 02:06:48.119
in his confident, I'll know that the real.

2144
02:06:48.039 --> 02:06:50.319
Murder is my wife nor.

2145
02:06:58.840 --> 02:07:02.560
I have the key here the head in a minute.

2146
02:07:02.600 --> 02:07:03.079
Can't hurry.

2147
02:07:03.159 --> 02:07:04.600
The moon is bright. I'd hate to have anyone to

2148
02:07:04.640 --> 02:07:07.119
see us. Yes, a very strange story. A man in

2149
02:07:07.199 --> 02:07:10.000
my position flowling around the cemetery at midnight. But we

2150
02:07:10.199 --> 02:07:15.000
had to come, judge, we had to make sure. Yeah,

2151
02:07:15.800 --> 02:07:19.840
but we can up in the ball doing. I'm rather

2152
02:07:19.960 --> 02:07:22.560
sorry I paid any attention to you, Wilson. But we're

2153
02:07:22.640 --> 02:07:25.279
here now, so let skip this thing over it now.

2154
02:07:25.319 --> 02:07:28.119
I'm going in first, but don't forget I'm on.

2155
02:07:28.359 --> 02:07:32.680
Oh, don't worry about me. Here shut the door. You

2156
02:07:32.760 --> 02:07:36.439
say to turn on a flash light now, eh see

2157
02:07:36.960 --> 02:07:37.640
there's the coffin.

2158
02:07:37.720 --> 02:07:38.279
That's odd.

2159
02:07:38.960 --> 02:07:40.520
Huhm, what is it?

2160
02:07:40.640 --> 02:07:44.000
Judge? There and here's fresh. This vault has been opened,

2161
02:07:44.000 --> 02:07:45.960
and very recently. Then it must have been opened by

2162
02:07:46.079 --> 02:07:48.479
round the whole nonsense opened this coffin, and i'll prove

2163
02:07:48.520 --> 02:07:51.439
it here. How does it work? Let's catch I'm a sorry,

2164
02:07:51.880 --> 02:07:53.600
can be operated out from the inside eye.

2165
02:07:55.359 --> 02:07:57.560
It's one little lift.

2166
02:07:57.600 --> 02:07:58.439
The lid man lifted?

2167
02:07:59.239 --> 02:08:01.079
What right, I'll do it.

2168
02:08:01.720 --> 02:08:08.560
No, there there, see, there's your precious Randolph, safe and sound,

2169
02:08:08.680 --> 02:08:09.479
just as I expected.

2170
02:08:10.159 --> 02:08:15.520
Quite did as he's supposed to be due. Yes, and

2171
02:08:15.640 --> 02:08:25.720
that pros that cost. Shine your flashlight down on the floor.

2172
02:08:25.960 --> 02:08:30.000
I just touched the body lying here near the water.

2173
02:08:30.359 --> 02:08:33.600
Buddy, Oh it's.

2174
02:08:34.960 --> 02:08:35.319
She did.

2175
02:08:35.359 --> 02:08:36.119
I don't think so. Here.

2176
02:08:36.159 --> 02:08:36.479
Give me that.

2177
02:08:38.279 --> 02:08:38.800
What happened?

2178
02:08:39.119 --> 02:08:40.359
Why did you turn out the flashlight?

2179
02:08:40.840 --> 02:08:42.520
Something knocked it out of my hands.

2180
02:08:43.479 --> 02:08:45.800
I can find it because I have it, Harry.

2181
02:08:46.039 --> 02:08:47.520
That's why you can't find it.

2182
02:08:47.960 --> 02:08:49.880
It wasn't what they're saying. It's Randolph.

2183
02:08:49.880 --> 02:08:50.520
He's not there.

2184
02:08:50.760 --> 02:08:51.720
But I am, Harry.

2185
02:08:52.359 --> 02:08:54.680
But don't bet that to stab you. I want to

2186
02:08:54.720 --> 02:08:56.760
thank you for bringing the judge here to me.

2187
02:08:56.960 --> 02:08:59.199
Listen, where are you you tind to play a chick

2188
02:08:59.239 --> 02:08:59.439
on me?

2189
02:08:59.600 --> 02:09:02.359
No, no, I swear he's bye Dennis and Judge Dexter.

2190
02:09:02.680 --> 02:09:03.239
That's Binar.

2191
02:09:03.399 --> 02:09:06.399
She merely came to make sure I was that.

2192
02:09:06.560 --> 02:09:10.880
I'm supposed to be, just as you did. When I

2193
02:09:11.000 --> 02:09:13.800
spoke to her, she painted, Listen, get.

2194
02:09:13.720 --> 02:09:14.399
The door open.

2195
02:09:15.279 --> 02:09:16.600
We've got to have some light in here.

2196
02:09:16.680 --> 02:09:17.560
It's no use.

2197
02:09:19.319 --> 02:09:21.359
I can see in the dark like a cat, and

2198
02:09:21.520 --> 02:09:27.600
you can't know I have you. No, No, Judge, you're

2199
02:09:27.680 --> 02:09:37.159
going to die ext kilt as you are at me kilted.

2200
02:09:38.239 --> 02:09:39.199
Let me go there.

2201
02:09:39.680 --> 02:09:40.800
I warn your Randolph.

2202
02:09:40.840 --> 02:09:42.279
I've got a gun.

2203
02:09:42.319 --> 02:09:44.960
I'm trying to shoot your two lady.

2204
02:09:46.199 --> 02:09:51.640
Yeah, yeah, are you all right?

2205
02:09:51.720 --> 02:09:52.920
Yes, yes I am.

2206
02:09:52.960 --> 02:09:55.000
I'll see if you can find the flesh list. I

2207
02:09:55.039 --> 02:09:56.640
think i've taken care of mister Randolphin.

2208
02:09:56.720 --> 02:09:59.039
It was Randolph. I think I haven't. Yes, here it

2209
02:09:59.159 --> 02:10:03.359
is chat that's funny, it's still in the cart. I

2210
02:10:03.560 --> 02:10:05.119
rather thought it would be Harry.

2211
02:10:06.239 --> 02:10:07.000
Harry, is that you?

2212
02:10:08.039 --> 02:10:08.600
You're not hurt?

2213
02:10:09.079 --> 02:10:09.960
No, just my head.

2214
02:10:10.039 --> 02:10:12.560
I came here to see you father, You understand, missus

2215
02:10:12.560 --> 02:10:13.920
Wilson had then someone hitch.

2216
02:10:14.000 --> 02:10:16.760
Yes, behind, there was someone here in the vault. I

2217
02:10:16.920 --> 02:10:18.800
just got a glimpse of him and then and then

2218
02:10:18.840 --> 02:10:19.279
he hit me.

2219
02:10:19.880 --> 02:10:22.439
But that's what we're just about to find out. Now,

2220
02:10:22.520 --> 02:10:24.680
let me have the flashlight. Was yes, I think he

2221
02:10:24.760 --> 02:10:25.399
fell over here.

2222
02:10:25.960 --> 02:10:27.520
Now, yes, here he is.

2223
02:10:27.760 --> 02:10:28.399
But who is he?

2224
02:10:28.920 --> 02:10:31.560
He was impersonating father? But but who is he?

2225
02:10:31.880 --> 02:10:32.000
Here?

2226
02:10:32.119 --> 02:10:32.159
Is?

2227
02:10:32.199 --> 02:10:35.000
I gonna say a better? Turn away carefully now he's

2228
02:10:35.039 --> 02:10:35.600
still breathing.

2229
02:10:36.439 --> 02:10:39.479
That's it, Ah, it's Muller.

2230
02:10:39.479 --> 02:10:41.840
The guard from the penitentiary, the one Randolph said he

2231
02:10:41.920 --> 02:10:42.640
made a friend.

2232
02:10:42.439 --> 02:10:44.560
Of Yes, the one who was guarding him just before

2233
02:10:44.560 --> 02:10:45.359
he was executed.

2234
02:10:45.520 --> 02:10:47.359
Oh, that's it was Muller.

2235
02:10:48.119 --> 02:10:48.399
Miller.

2236
02:10:48.920 --> 02:10:52.279
Can you hear me? I'm afraid he's dying.

2237
02:10:52.439 --> 02:10:55.520
Before father was executed, he must have hypnotized this man

2238
02:10:55.600 --> 02:10:58.159
and ordered him to carry out his fantastic scheme.

2239
02:10:58.199 --> 02:10:58.680
Of Dingeer.

2240
02:10:58.920 --> 02:11:02.520
It was a trick, very cunning trick, by means of hypnosis.

2241
02:11:02.640 --> 02:11:04.960
Randolph he was. This man is a tool. Even though

2242
02:11:05.039 --> 02:11:06.199
Randolph himself.

2243
02:11:05.920 --> 02:11:09.159
Was dead, he must have recognized that Miller was unusually spectical.

2244
02:11:09.279 --> 02:11:11.319
I think we'll find that Miller was a psychotic to

2245
02:11:11.359 --> 02:11:15.800
begin with. Otherwise Randolph's hypnosis would never have worked, for

2246
02:11:15.920 --> 02:11:18.520
no normal person can be influenced the way Miller was

2247
02:11:18.600 --> 02:11:19.840
under any circumstances.

2248
02:11:21.119 --> 02:11:23.119
Isn't there anything we can do for you?

2249
02:11:23.319 --> 02:11:23.359
No?

2250
02:11:24.760 --> 02:11:29.079
No, he's gone, and with him, the Great Randolph has

2251
02:11:29.199 --> 02:11:32.000
died too, for good.

2252
02:11:57.840 --> 02:12:02.199
This is a mysterious taver again. So the Great Randolph

2253
02:12:02.319 --> 02:12:03.159
is dead for good?

2254
02:12:03.319 --> 02:12:03.479
Is he?

2255
02:12:04.520 --> 02:12:05.239
I wondered?

2256
02:12:06.079 --> 02:12:08.880
After all, Miller wasn't the only.

2257
02:12:08.760 --> 02:12:12.279
God Randolph had a chance to talk through. Oh, but

2258
02:12:12.399 --> 02:12:15.760
he couldn't have hypnotized any of the others. I wouldn't

2259
02:12:15.760 --> 02:12:19.560
give it another shot if I were you, unless, of course,

2260
02:12:20.720 --> 02:12:26.920
you were on a jury that convicted Randolph. In that case, well,

2261
02:12:27.079 --> 02:12:30.640
you have to get off here. I'm sorry. I'm sure

2262
02:12:30.720 --> 02:12:35.199
you'll meet again. I take this same train every week.

2263
02:12:35.159 --> 02:12:36.199
At the same time.

2264
02:12:48.840 --> 02:12:52.319
You have just heard the Mysterious Traveler. A series of

2265
02:12:52.399 --> 02:12:55.960
dramas are the Strange and Terrified. The role of the

2266
02:12:56.000 --> 02:13:00.720
Mysterious Traveler is played by Maurice Tuckler in tonight's castas Ortega,

2267
02:13:01.079 --> 02:13:05.359
Richard Coogan, Shirley Blank, and Bill Smith. Original music composed

2268
02:13:05.399 --> 02:13:09.239
and played by Al Vanelli. All characters in this story

2269
02:13:09.319 --> 02:13:13.720
were fictitious, and any resemblance to actual persons was purely coincidental.

2270
02:13:14.840 --> 02:13:21.319
This is Bob Emeric speaking. This program came from New York.

2271
02:13:22.920 --> 02:13:24.840
This is the mutual Broadcasting system.

2272
02:13:27.720 --> 02:13:27.920
Ah.

2273
02:13:29.840 --> 02:13:32.760
Nothing better on a cold night than a hot cup

2274
02:13:32.840 --> 02:13:38.239
of tea and a record with a fair But I know,

2275
02:13:38.600 --> 02:13:43.359
I know the night is nearly over. It's grown late.

2276
02:13:44.439 --> 02:13:48.560
Soon the sun will rise, and I'll need to return

2277
02:13:48.760 --> 02:13:54.880
to wherever it is I come from, And you need

2278
02:13:55.000 --> 02:14:01.079
to go home. Home is where the heart is. So

2279
02:14:01.279 --> 02:14:06.000
please be careful as you make your way home through

2280
02:14:06.119 --> 02:14:12.319
the darkness, so much darkness. As your feet guide you

2281
02:14:13.640 --> 02:14:20.119
through the woods, the dark asshat, the covered bridge, as

2282
02:14:20.159 --> 02:14:24.079
you lay your head on your soft cool him out

2283
02:14:25.159 --> 02:14:31.279
and gnawed away, Take one moment and be thankful for

2284
02:14:31.439 --> 02:14:34.319
what you have. I'll be seeing you
