Ah… my dear, you’ve returned.
Good.
Because tonight, we dive into a most delicious emotion—hate.

Some say love makes the world go ‘round.
But hate?
Hate digs the graves.

I have four stories for you tonight. Each one festering with resentment, rotted by revenge, and humming with the energy of something much worse than anger.

🔹 I Hate HaroldHarold’s neighbors hate him. His coworkers hate him. And his own wife? Oh… you’ll see.
But don’t feel bad for Harold. Just wait.
🔹 Brotherly HateTwo siblings, one house, and decades of buried rage.Blood may be thicker than water—but it’s awfully hard to wash off.
🔹 The Man Who Knew How to HateHe turned hatred into an art form. But when you live for spite, don’t be surprised when death wants a piece.
🔹 The Man the Insects HatedSome men can’t help being hated—even by nature.And when the bugs turn… there’s nowhere to run.

So lean in, my dear.
Let the bile bubble up.
Let the darkness in.
Because tonight… the hatred is mutual.

00:00:09.679 --> 00:00:14.480
Well, hello, my dear. Oh what's that. Oh, just fixing

2
00:00:14.519 --> 00:00:16.760
the place up a little bit. You know, I've been

3
00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:20.960
thinking about how while I'm here, I may as well

4
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:23.960
make the best of it. So in a way, I've

5
00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:28.600
started to show the place a little love, as it were.

6
00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:31.839
Oh please, please have a seat, Have a seat, Get comfortable.

7
00:00:32.200 --> 00:00:37.119
I've been thinking all night about what we should share,

8
00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:42.280
what we should listen to, and I've decided where going

9
00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:46.280
to take another direction because as I show my humble

10
00:00:46.359 --> 00:00:49.640
abode a little bit of love, it made me think

11
00:00:49.719 --> 00:00:55.240
about hate, the opposite of love, but yet oddly still

12
00:00:56.000 --> 00:01:00.679
just as powerful, just as engulfing the state is just

13
00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:07.400
as powerful as love. For instance, I hate hate Harold's

14
00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:08.319
radio mystery.

15
00:01:08.599 --> 00:01:10.280
It isn't.

16
00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:26.079
I mean?

17
00:01:28.120 --> 00:01:33.920
Welcome. I'm Tonny Grins. Today's story is about love and hate,

18
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:37.000
but I have to admit that hate plays a bigger

19
00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:39.640
part in the life and adventures of George Wallaby.

20
00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:41.599
Oh, I know what you think.

21
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:44.319
George Wallaby isn't a.

22
00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:47.120
Very inspiring name for the heir of a crime story.

23
00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:51.480
But then George it is some different hero. He's not

24
00:01:51.719 --> 00:01:57.439
very tall, he's not very strong, he's well, let's say it,

25
00:01:58.200 --> 00:02:03.120
George is short well and what polite people call I'm

26
00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:08.159
prepresising that he's our hero just the same, and all

27
00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:10.400
because he meets a man he hates.

28
00:02:11.080 --> 00:02:15.319
Mister Kipla, I'm sorry to tell you this, but I.

29
00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:17.120
Hate Harold book Holder.

30
00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:20.800
No jobs, are you. I'm sorry, mister Kilas. I don't

31
00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:23.000
usually hate people. I don't think I've ever hated any

32
00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:26.159
one in my life, but I hate Harold.

33
00:02:34.759 --> 00:02:39.960
Now, mister drama, I hate Howard was written Specialist of

34
00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:44.360
Mystery Theater by Henry Sessa Installs Landy Haynes.

35
00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:45.800
How did that show to you?

36
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:46.039
That?

37
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:46.439
One?

38
00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:59.000
The time ten fifteen on Monday morning? The case the

39
00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:02.599
offices of kit Miss and Company, dealers of fine jewelry

40
00:03:03.039 --> 00:03:07.840
wholesale only please, It's a soothing, pleasant scene before the

41
00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:11.759
gentle clacking of a typewriter is soothing, a shuffle of papers,

42
00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:16.879
the subdued syllables of moment conversations. It's a scene George

43
00:03:16.919 --> 00:03:19.919
Wallaby knows only too well, since he has viewed it

44
00:03:20.039 --> 00:03:23.400
from his desk for the past six years, although these

45
00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:28.599
days that viewers improved considerably because now sitting at the

46
00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:32.800
desk opposite George is a lovely young woman named Gretchen,

47
00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:38.199
sweet soft spoken Christen with a long, silky blonde hair,

48
00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:44.520
who inspired George Wallaby with a delicious dabling. But today

49
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:48.360
George is about to have another kind of dream. Attends

50
00:03:48.439 --> 00:03:52.439
the Steam on a Monday morning. George is about to

51
00:03:52.520 --> 00:03:53.280
have a nightmare.

52
00:03:54.639 --> 00:03:58.479
My gorgeous, there's mister Shipmas around way off.

53
00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:01.879
I think right into his office and tell him that

54
00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:04.879
Harold Buckholder is here appointment.

55
00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:07.400
Yes, that reminds me.

56
00:04:07.599 --> 00:04:11.280
He said something about checking in with his executive assistant that.

57
00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:14.639
You don't now that's mister Wallaby.

58
00:04:14.919 --> 00:04:19.639
Oh too bad? Uh, your mister Wallaby? I presume I

59
00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:23.160
certainly am. What can I do for you, mister Buckholter? Hey,

60
00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:26.160
come on, it's a small office. The acoustics are perfect.

61
00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:27.560
Didn't you hear what I told?

62
00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:29.399
Gorgeous? I want to see the boss.

63
00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:32.279
I also hurt Miss Simmons ask if you had an appointment?

64

Does tell the old man Harold is here? Wallaby Wallaby

65
00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:38.560
sounds like a guy gargling.

66
00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:40.360
You got a first name, Wallaby?

67
00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:43.600
Would you mind telling me what company he represents? I

68
00:04:43.720 --> 00:04:45.639

00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:29.000
He had an awfully nice smile.

00:06:29.240 --> 00:06:29.519
Inn't me.

108
00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:36.639
I just don't understand it, Gretcher.

109
00:06:36.839 --> 00:06:39.480
I talked to mister Kittus about that sales job two

110
00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:41.839
months ago when Demetrius first left.

111
00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:45.720
Oh he haplitch steak on the minute today. George, you're safe.

112
00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:49.000
I've been there six years. Six years, Gretcher.

113
00:06:49.120 --> 00:06:53.959
You'd think fIF that would entitle me a little considerations.

114
00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:58.920
A beef patty to Kip this fall for a loud

115
00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:01.199
mouth super salesman, my Carold Bookholter.

116
00:07:01.360 --> 00:07:02.279
Our clients will.

117
00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:05.079
Hate them, Harold says, they're all crazy about him.

118
00:07:05.879 --> 00:07:06.519
What did you say?

119
00:07:07.240 --> 00:07:08.519
Harold told me that all our.

120
00:07:08.519 --> 00:07:11.800
Clients just adore him. Did he tell you that at

121
00:07:11.839 --> 00:07:12.759
dinner last night?

122
00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:20.480
Question? You had dinner with Harold Buckhalter? Why? Because he

123
00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:24.959
asked me, would you living at dinner with me? I

124
00:07:25.079 --> 00:07:26.079
have lunch with you?

125
00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:26.720
George.

126
00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:29.519
You mean I'm more the lunch type and Harold is

127
00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:30.240
the dinner.

128
00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:34.439
Type you know I never thought about it. Yes, I

129
00:07:34.519 --> 00:07:35.480
guess that's true.

130
00:07:36.920 --> 00:07:46.439
You know something, Gretchen, I don't like Carold Buckhalter than

131
00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:53.519
George Well. You don't work well enough to be standing up.

132
00:07:54.759 --> 00:07:57.560
The truth is, I'm not feeling too well. Mister Kitness

133
00:07:58.160 --> 00:07:59.439
was as well, and you got a virus.

134
00:08:00.319 --> 00:08:05.759
You could say that I suppose a virus named the Buckholder. Well,

135
00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:07.600
it's worse than a virus, sir, it's a it's a

136
00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:08.759
galloping infection.

137
00:08:08.920 --> 00:08:09.519
It's a plague.

138
00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:12.959
Why are you talking about I'm talking about your new

139
00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:16.480
hotshot sales manager. I'm talking about Harold Buckholter. That man

140
00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:17.959
is plaguing me, mister Kittmers.

141
00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:20.519
He's driving me crazy, George Taking.

142
00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:23.720
He's inventing new torches for me every day. He's dedicating

143
00:08:23.839 --> 00:08:25.160
his life to tormenting me.

144
00:08:25.240 --> 00:08:26.160
And it's gotta stop.

145
00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:30.560
You can't be serious, George Way. Hell's too busy doing

146
00:08:30.959 --> 00:08:34.039
like that. He's out there sewing every day.

147
00:08:34.200 --> 00:08:37.279
Well before he goes out there, mister Kittnus, he's in

148
00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:40.519
here at my desk finding new ways to make me suffer.

149
00:08:40.639 --> 00:08:45.840
Like yesterday, for instance, when Well he put a pinhole

150
00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:49.679
into my coffee container. He put a little pinhole into

151
00:08:49.720 --> 00:08:52.159
the bottom of my card bought coffee container. It was

152
00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:56.759
a slow brown leak all over my desk, my correspondence, everything.

153
00:08:56.519 --> 00:09:01.919
Now now, George, why Harold Buckholder tility by that he's

154
00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:02.639
a grown man?

155
00:09:02.840 --> 00:09:05.799
Or is he put a grown man put a thumb

156
00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:09.279
tack on another grown man's chair with a grown man

157
00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:12.320
with a message on my desk to call a mister

158
00:09:12.480 --> 00:09:16.200
fish at a number that turns out to be the aquarium.

159
00:09:17.799 --> 00:09:22.720
And the sounds like harmless pranks to me. And last week,

160
00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:24.240
do you know what he did to me last week?

161
00:09:25.399 --> 00:09:26.759
Why did he do? George?

162
00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:29.399
Well, I was having lunch in the House of Health restaurant.

163
00:09:30.159 --> 00:09:34.519
I was with someone and Harold came in and took

164
00:09:34.559 --> 00:09:36.480
a table right right near us.

165
00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:39.159
What's wrong with that? And wait, wait, just listen.

166
00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:43.519
He kept putting in on our on my private conversation,

167
00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:46.919
and I got so irritated I gagged a little bit

168
00:09:47.039 --> 00:09:48.039
on a piece of spinach.

169
00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:49.440
And do you know what he did then?

170
00:09:50.679 --> 00:09:50.720
What?

171
00:09:51.080 --> 00:09:51.399
George?

172
00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:57.039
He performed ahindlift maneuver. Ah, you know the hindlift maneuver

173
00:09:57.240 --> 00:09:59.200
where they grab you around the waist to keep you

174
00:09:59.240 --> 00:09:59.759
from choking.

175
00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:02.559
Oh, yes, yes, yes, that's a great life saver here.

176
00:10:02.639 --> 00:10:05.480
Well, only my life didn't need savings, Sir, don't you

177
00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:08.600
understand he just wanted to humiliate me, make a fool

178
00:10:08.639 --> 00:10:10.639
out of me in front, in front of the front

179
00:10:10.639 --> 00:10:11.039
of people.

180
00:10:11.159 --> 00:10:14.360
And George, you're taking me much too seriously.

181
00:10:14.799 --> 00:10:18.639
I know you don't like Harold, I know you resent

182
00:10:18.759 --> 00:10:19.240
him a little.

183
00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:22.360
But he's a salesman, George, no.

184
00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:24.279
More than inside man.

185
00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:27.360
Well, I just can't believe that a vulgar lout like

186
00:10:27.480 --> 00:10:30.799
Harold Buckholt can be any kind of salesman. And I

187
00:10:30.840 --> 00:10:32.600
wouldn't be surprised if he turned out to be a

188
00:10:32.639 --> 00:10:35.000
complete fraud. Now, Dure, Well, how do you know the

189
00:10:35.080 --> 00:10:36.879
kind of deals he's making out there? How do you

190
00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:38.639
know he isn't some kind.

191
00:10:38.519 --> 00:10:41.159
Of a of a crook? Oh, don't be ridiculous that

192
00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:45.320
you check his references, that you call his last employer. Well,

193
00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:48.480
no I didn't, mister Kidnis.

194
00:10:49.480 --> 00:10:52.519
Mister Kipnis, you've got millions of dollars in jewelry in

195
00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:55.120
this office. Now, how do you know he isn't planning

196
00:10:55.600 --> 00:10:56.639
something criminal?

197
00:10:57.240 --> 00:10:59.240
George? That's enough.

198
00:11:00.679 --> 00:11:03.559
I know you don't like Harold, there's no reason to

199
00:11:03.639 --> 00:11:04.960
make wild accusations.

200
00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:08.559
Well, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, mister kiplss. I don't usually

201
00:11:08.600 --> 00:11:09.080
hate people.

202
00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:11.240
I don't think I've never hated anyone in my life,

203
00:11:12.480 --> 00:11:14.240
but I hate Carold.

204
00:11:21.399 --> 00:11:24.279
Just see about these so called references.

205
00:11:27.000 --> 00:11:31.360
Directory assistant city please Providence, Rhode Island.

206
00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:34.240
Please I need the number of the Harriman Jewelry Company.

207
00:11:34.279 --> 00:11:37.519
I'm afraid I don't have the exact address one moment.

208
00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:43.559
That number is area code four oh one five five,

209
00:11:43.879 --> 00:11:46.159
five six seven three seven.

210
00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:50.600
Hello is this mister Harriman?

211
00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:51.279
It is?

212
00:11:51.399 --> 00:11:52.240
What can I do for you?

213
00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:52.559
Well?

214
00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:55.200
My name is Wallaby. I'm with Kipness and Company. I'm

215
00:11:55.960 --> 00:11:59.720
mister Kipnas's executive assistant. Mister Harrimon, do you happen to

216
00:11:59.799 --> 00:12:03.200
know a Harold Bucklet Held?

217
00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:04.039
Of course I know?

218
00:12:04.279 --> 00:12:08.240
How long then he actually worked for your company? Just

219
00:12:08.320 --> 00:12:10.240
as he says in his serve resume?

220
00:12:10.480 --> 00:12:13.039
Yes, yes, of course he did not very long, mind you,

221
00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:17.279
but he was here and Held was a darn good

222
00:12:17.399 --> 00:12:19.360
sales and all my customers liked him.

223
00:12:19.679 --> 00:12:21.080
Oh that's such very nice.

224
00:12:21.440 --> 00:12:22.600
I could have kept him longer.

225
00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:25.679
But now, the business the way it was, how how

226
00:12:25.759 --> 00:12:27.399
long did he actually work there?

227
00:12:27.679 --> 00:12:30.399
Ooh about three months? I guess if you take a

228
00:12:30.440 --> 00:12:31.080
couple of weeks.

229
00:12:31.879 --> 00:12:34.240
Well, if he was that good, why did you let

230
00:12:34.320 --> 00:12:34.519
him go?

231
00:12:34.679 --> 00:12:36.080
I had to do it, had to do it. Like

232
00:12:36.200 --> 00:12:37.639
I said, business was pretty tough.

233
00:12:38.240 --> 00:12:41.440
We had a large and unexpected loss.

234
00:12:41.559 --> 00:12:43.080
So what what did you say?

235
00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:46.679
And then we had a loss or or a theft. Well,

236
00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:49.840
we don't know for sure. The insurance company called in

237
00:12:49.919 --> 00:12:51.440
a mysterious disappearance.

238
00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:52.879
Disappearance.

239
00:12:52.960 --> 00:12:56.279
Yes, unfortunately our policy didn't quite cover the loss, and

240
00:12:57.080 --> 00:12:59.039
well we had to make up the money some way.

241
00:12:59.200 --> 00:13:00.879
So we cut then on the staff.

242
00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:03.440
And so, uh, you let Harold go?

243
00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:06.279
Well is a man of thank Harold offered to quit.

244
00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:10.720
He's so we could not afford him anymore. Nice guy, Harold,

245
00:13:10.799 --> 00:13:11.679
You're lucky to get him.

246
00:13:11.679 --> 00:13:16.120
Mister my name God, never mind. Thank you, mister Harrilon,

247
00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:17.360
Thank you very very much.

248
00:13:17.399 --> 00:13:19.120
Goodbye. Wow.

249
00:13:19.279 --> 00:13:25.919
Mysterious disappearance. Oh I'd like to see that happen, Harold.

250
00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:34.759
Excuse me? Is this seat taken?

251
00:13:35.639 --> 00:13:40.200
No, no, it's not. We're not expecting anyone. Lady, perhaps

252
00:13:40.320 --> 00:13:45.279
I know? Uh why do you ask? Well, tell you

253
00:13:45.360 --> 00:13:45.759
the truth.

254
00:13:45.840 --> 00:13:48.200
I've seen you in here with a lady before, very

255
00:13:48.519 --> 00:13:50.960
pretty girl, long one hair.

256
00:13:51.480 --> 00:13:57.039
Well, I'm alone today. Her name is Gretchen, isn't it?

257
00:13:58.279 --> 00:13:58.480
Yes?

258
00:13:59.360 --> 00:13:59.919
How did you know?

259
00:14:00.759 --> 00:14:06.039
And your name is George George Wallaby? All right, well

260
00:14:06.039 --> 00:14:08.480
wait just more a minute. Have you been eaves dropping?

261
00:14:08.600 --> 00:14:12.159
Mister says the name call me Walter, So I don't

262
00:14:12.159 --> 00:14:14.480
think I want to call you anything. Well, now wait

263
00:14:14.519 --> 00:14:18.120
a minute, let me explain. In fact, maybe this will

264
00:14:18.159 --> 00:14:19.519
explain it better than words.

265
00:14:21.360 --> 00:14:26.000
That's a bad keep your voice down rather, people didn't

266
00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:29.840
know what I did for a living. Have you have

267
00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:30.799
you been trailing me?

268
00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:34.720
Oh no, don't look so worried. You're not under suspicion

269
00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:36.320
that neither is your girlfriend.

270
00:14:36.639 --> 00:14:40.440
She's not my girlfriend, Gretchen? Who is just someone in

271
00:14:40.559 --> 00:14:41.039
the office?

272
00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:44.840
And there's someone else in your office? Isn't there someone

273
00:14:44.879 --> 00:14:46.879
who calls himself Harold?

274
00:14:47.200 --> 00:14:47.399
Oh?

275
00:14:47.679 --> 00:14:52.600
Oh yes, we definitely have a Harold. Well, I wish

276
00:14:52.679 --> 00:14:56.279
I had a Harold. I wish I had him in jail?

277
00:14:57.039 --> 00:15:02.279
Did you say jail? That's right, George, You see I

278
00:15:02.360 --> 00:15:03.440
having to believe.

279
00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:07.120
That mister Harold book Calder is nothing less than a crook.

280
00:15:12.240 --> 00:15:18.320
We speak about prophetic visions. Apparently George Wallerby's instincts about

281
00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:21.840
how Old are correct. Howld may be more.

282
00:15:21.759 --> 00:15:22.799
Than loud and vulgar.

283
00:15:23.440 --> 00:15:26.519
If George sits in a help food restaurant, there's a

284
00:15:26.600 --> 00:15:30.840
strange expression on his face. He doesn't look alarmed, he

285
00:15:30.960 --> 00:15:35.600
doesn't look willy. Why anyone looking at George Wallaby right

286
00:15:35.679 --> 00:15:38.120
now would think that he had just said very good news.

287
00:15:39.480 --> 00:15:42.480
We'll find out how good that news really is when

288
00:15:42.600 --> 00:15:53.320
we return with that too shortly. They say that every

289
00:15:53.440 --> 00:15:57.039
dog has a day, and perhaps that day has arrived

290
00:15:57.080 --> 00:16:00.840
for George Wallaby. Sitting opposite and at the house at

291
00:16:00.919 --> 00:16:05.200
Hart's restaurant, a grim man in shaggy ground too had

292
00:16:05.279 --> 00:16:10.919
told him something electrifying, that hollold Buckholes may well be

293
00:16:11.000 --> 00:16:16.120
a catacoon. The eyes of George Wilby a glowing.

294
00:16:16.240 --> 00:16:19.519
If he listened, it's true, George.

295
00:16:20.879 --> 00:16:22.960
Now, they would give me greater pleasure than to put

296
00:16:23.000 --> 00:16:24.519
a pair of handcuffs on that man.

297
00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:28.159
Do you know how long I've been after him?

298
00:16:28.279 --> 00:16:28.320
No?

299
00:16:28.559 --> 00:16:33.080
No, how long it was, let's see, I guess it

300
00:16:33.200 --> 00:16:34.480
was four years ago.

301
00:16:34.600 --> 00:16:38.080
Next month I was working as an investigator for an

302
00:16:38.120 --> 00:16:41.759
insurance company. There was a brazen robbery at a large

303
00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:45.879
jewelry firm in the Midwest, and Harald worked there, their

304
00:16:46.120 --> 00:16:49.720
best salesman. They said, yes, yes, they all say that.

305
00:16:50.360 --> 00:16:51.480
And the funny thing is the.

306
00:16:51.519 --> 00:16:54.480
Next case I worked on involving at Jim's f was

307
00:16:54.519 --> 00:16:58.639
a big firm in the northeast, and Low and Bold

308
00:16:59.639 --> 00:17:01.120
who their best salesman.

309
00:17:02.240 --> 00:17:06.000
Hey, excuse me, George, are you listening to me? Oh? Oh,

310
00:17:06.119 --> 00:17:09.480
Miss Christis. If you only knew how I was listening

311
00:17:09.519 --> 00:17:13.599
to you, call me, Walter. Something tells me that you

312
00:17:13.720 --> 00:17:15.799
and I have a lot in common. But this is

313
00:17:16.240 --> 00:17:19.160
this is incredible, this is wonderful. No wait, wait now,

314
00:17:19.359 --> 00:17:20.160
don't get me wrong.

315
00:17:21.279 --> 00:17:23.920
I don't have any actual evidence that Harold Buckholder was

316
00:17:24.000 --> 00:17:25.640
behind these gem highs GEMI.

317
00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:26.519
I'd love it.

318
00:17:26.920 --> 00:17:29.400
If I did have the evidence, I would have been

319
00:17:29.440 --> 00:17:33.200
flashing my badge in his face, not yours. But Walter,

320
00:17:33.359 --> 00:17:37.079
do you mean he he commits robberies, not at the

321
00:17:37.160 --> 00:17:40.160
point of a gun. It's more like a con game

322
00:17:40.599 --> 00:17:45.599
inside jobs. To me, it's no coincidence that Harold Buckholder

323
00:17:45.759 --> 00:17:49.279
worked in three companies that sustained large losses of gems.

324
00:17:50.599 --> 00:17:53.920
I worked on two of those cases. George, and I

325
00:17:54.000 --> 00:17:57.960
smell a rat. Well, why don't you want my boss?

326
00:17:58.039 --> 00:17:59.599
Mister kidness wouldn't do any good.

327
00:18:00.920 --> 00:18:03.880
There's one thing Harold manages to do, it's get himself

328
00:18:03.960 --> 00:18:07.160
in good graces with the boss. And if he did

329
00:18:07.279 --> 00:18:10.440
believe me and fired Harold, he just moved somewhere else,

330
00:18:11.400 --> 00:18:14.240
maybe where I can't find him. And you really think

331
00:18:14.319 --> 00:18:17.039
she's going to try something here a Kidness and Company.

332
00:18:17.480 --> 00:18:21.200
I don't know, but I want to know. I want

333
00:18:21.240 --> 00:18:22.920
to catch this guy with a meat in his mouth.

334
00:18:23.319 --> 00:18:27.759
Waters if there's anything I can do interesting that you

335
00:18:27.839 --> 00:18:28.480
should say that.

336
00:18:28.759 --> 00:18:32.079
You mean there is? You don't like Harold book or he?

337
00:18:32.160 --> 00:18:32.640
Do you? No?

338
00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:36.039
I don't. How would you like to help me catch

339
00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:40.480
this guy? George Ride in the act, he I can't

340
00:18:40.519 --> 00:18:41.079
do it alone.

341
00:18:41.480 --> 00:18:44.839
I need somebody on the inside. And since you're Kip,

342
00:18:44.960 --> 00:18:46.599
this executive assistant.

343
00:18:46.160 --> 00:18:48.359
What would I What would I have to do? Mister

344
00:18:48.400 --> 00:18:52.880
Cassis call me Walter? Walter? Look, George, don't you say.

345
00:18:54.240 --> 00:18:58.200
Harold won't be able to pull his scam without involving you? Well,

346
00:18:58.240 --> 00:19:04.079
he he could deal with mister kipnas Now, Harold always

347
00:19:04.160 --> 00:19:06.920
operates with the same m O M O.

348
00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:10.480
What's that amorus operandi motor.

349
00:19:11.359 --> 00:19:13.839
Yes, he always waits until the boss is out of

350
00:19:13.880 --> 00:19:15.039
town before he goes to work.

351
00:19:16.119 --> 00:19:18.640
That's why you're bound to be involved. And when you

352
00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:23.000
are get me in the picture and we'll nail him together.

353
00:19:24.759 --> 00:19:27.880
That appeal to him, Yes, yes, yes it does. As

354
00:19:27.920 --> 00:19:29.960
a matter of fact, that appeals to me very very much.

355
00:19:35.960 --> 00:19:39.839
A week's time from Spills, the content introducted George Waller.

356
00:19:39.960 --> 00:19:41.559
He's being in Cardot.

357
00:19:41.319 --> 00:19:43.200
Fouit with an indication to adventure.

358
00:19:44.279 --> 00:19:47.279
It was a bad week for George. On Monday morning,

359
00:19:47.920 --> 00:19:53.039
how did water a favor? He slacked his wooden swivel chair. However,

360
00:19:53.559 --> 00:19:56.480
he forgot to advise George that the chair was still

361
00:19:56.640 --> 00:20:02.200
sticky wet. On Tuesday, howld giants by bringing Georgia Presents

362
00:20:02.599 --> 00:20:03.440
a new hairbrush.

363
00:20:04.279 --> 00:20:06.319
George's broad head went peak.

364
00:20:06.440 --> 00:20:11.160
When Gretchen giggled. On Wednesday, Gretchen took pity on George

365
00:20:11.440 --> 00:20:15.799
and had lunch with him. I just don't understand, Harold.

366
00:20:16.319 --> 00:20:20.160
He's so loving, he is, but he just has a

367
00:20:20.319 --> 00:20:22.000
well developed sense of humor.

368
00:20:22.359 --> 00:20:25.480
Is that what you call it? She like my chair

369
00:20:25.960 --> 00:20:27.000
ruining my files?

370
00:20:27.160 --> 00:20:28.640
Oh and you don't know if he did that.

371
00:20:28.880 --> 00:20:32.359
Of course he did, Gretchen. That man has been making

372
00:20:32.480 --> 00:20:35.240
my life miserable ever since he came to gift us

373
00:20:35.279 --> 00:20:35.759
in company.

374
00:20:35.960 --> 00:20:37.359
But why would he do that?

375
00:20:37.559 --> 00:20:41.200
Because because he's well, that's the kind of person he is,

376
00:20:42.200 --> 00:20:44.720
among among other things?

377
00:20:45.519 --> 00:20:46.720
What other things?

378
00:20:47.880 --> 00:20:50.359
George, do you know something I don't know?

379
00:20:51.039 --> 00:20:52.440
Maybe I do, Maybe I don't.

380
00:20:53.039 --> 00:20:55.160
Well, oh what is it?

381
00:20:55.400 --> 00:20:56.160
I can't tell him?

382
00:20:56.720 --> 00:21:00.119
Yeah, and I could always find out for myself. I

383
00:21:00.200 --> 00:21:02.279
can ask howd in there?

384
00:21:02.359 --> 00:21:05.519
All right, I'll tell you which I have to promise,

385
00:21:05.599 --> 00:21:06.359
not the priest of work.

386
00:21:06.480 --> 00:21:07.160
Oh, I promise.

387
00:21:09.119 --> 00:21:14.519
Gretchen had a caller, maybe a jewel.

388
00:21:14.599 --> 00:21:19.960
Thief, georsh what an awful thing to say.

389
00:21:20.039 --> 00:21:22.839
Well, it might be true, Gretchen, and I have inside information.

390
00:21:23.160 --> 00:21:26.279
What you have is aggressor maybe so. But there's more

391
00:21:26.319 --> 00:21:28.000
to that guy than meets the eye.

392
00:21:28.880 --> 00:21:30.160
How exciting.

393
00:21:31.160 --> 00:21:31.279
Is that?

394
00:21:31.400 --> 00:21:32.079
All you can say?

395
00:21:33.759 --> 00:21:36.000
But it is exciting, Honey.

396
00:21:36.319 --> 00:21:38.680
I thought Harold was just a fun person.

397
00:21:39.559 --> 00:21:40.799
But a jewel thief.

398
00:21:41.000 --> 00:21:43.160
You know you know something, Gretchen. I think you like

399
00:21:43.279 --> 00:21:43.920
him better now.

400
00:21:44.359 --> 00:21:48.400
Oh, you have to admit, George, these international jewel thieves

401
00:21:48.400 --> 00:21:50.200
are so fascinator.

402
00:21:50.240 --> 00:21:53.240
I didn't say he was international. I said that he

403
00:21:53.400 --> 00:21:55.480
was just a local jewel thief.

404
00:21:55.599 --> 00:21:59.640
Oh, just the thing, something so glamorous about it?

405
00:22:00.200 --> 00:22:05.319
Did you think, oh, we'll see how collaborous he looks. Sure?

406
00:22:05.480 --> 00:22:07.680
I put him behind Boris.

407
00:22:11.880 --> 00:22:15.440
That the days passed slowly and nothing exciting happened at

408
00:22:15.480 --> 00:22:19.880
the offices of Kidnis in Conomy, except that Greton seemed

409
00:22:19.960 --> 00:22:23.519
even more impressed by the dashing Harold buck Alter than

410
00:22:23.559 --> 00:22:29.039
ever before. Then it happened the detective bow to Corstairs

411
00:22:29.440 --> 00:22:31.680
had told him that how it rarely made his move

412
00:22:31.839 --> 00:22:35.440
until the boss was out of the office, preferably.

413
00:22:35.160 --> 00:22:40.599
Out of town. George, I'm going to the priest, am

414
00:22:40.640 --> 00:22:43.440
I annual mind? Yes, mister kipnas hill On, will you

415
00:22:43.559 --> 00:22:45.119
be gone this time a couple of weeks.

416
00:22:45.519 --> 00:22:47.839
First up Hong Kong. Then I'm going to try and

417
00:22:47.880 --> 00:22:49.359
get over to Kenton.

418
00:22:48.920 --> 00:22:50.839
And maybe peaking. Ah, that sounds wonderful.

419
00:22:51.200 --> 00:22:55.319
You'll see about plane tickets, hotel reservations, ground transportation. Yes, sir,

420
00:22:56.000 --> 00:22:58.640
you'll come to my place tomorrow and back. Oh, yes, sir,

421
00:22:58.720 --> 00:23:01.880
as usual, of course you'll take Thiefee again.

422
00:23:02.240 --> 00:23:05.240
Oh do I have to mister kiplas well?

423
00:23:05.359 --> 00:23:07.720
You know missus Kipners doesn't want to put her dog

424
00:23:07.799 --> 00:23:11.319
in any kennel, Yes, sir, and don't forget about watering

425
00:23:11.359 --> 00:23:11.839
the plants.

426
00:23:12.279 --> 00:23:14.680
Miss Kipness will give you the schedule, Yes, sir.

427
00:23:15.359 --> 00:23:18.200
She'll give you a list of TV programs to tape.

428
00:23:18.279 --> 00:23:20.200
Oh naturally, sir, And don't.

429
00:23:20.039 --> 00:23:22.359
Forget about picking up the kids after school.

430
00:23:22.119 --> 00:23:25.640
Like you always do. Right now that they're both in college,

431
00:23:25.720 --> 00:23:28.839
mister Kipnas, don't you think that maybe what are you

432
00:23:28.920 --> 00:23:29.839
waiting for, George?

433
00:23:31.279 --> 00:23:32.119
You've got things to do.

434
00:23:33.400 --> 00:23:35.000
Oh yes, mister Kipnas.

435
00:23:39.799 --> 00:23:42.519
But this was one year that George didn't really mind

436
00:23:42.640 --> 00:23:45.880
doing all these things for mister Kittens because it would

437
00:23:45.960 --> 00:23:47.799
mean that the boss would be out of the office

438
00:23:48.599 --> 00:23:54.480
and then Harold Buckholt local Jewelphee might make his big move. Then,

439
00:23:54.880 --> 00:23:59.920
sure enough, only sixtyays after his departure, mister Kidney's share

440
00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:03.720
Yah boy Hold walked up to Georgia's desk waiting a

441
00:24:03.839 --> 00:24:05.359
yellow rectangle of people.

442
00:24:06.000 --> 00:24:09.240
Hey, George, George, look at this. Huh what is it?

443
00:24:09.319 --> 00:24:11.480
Look it's a cable from the old man from Hong Kong.

444
00:24:12.079 --> 00:24:14.599
He wants me to show the Contessa collection.

445
00:24:15.160 --> 00:24:19.519
The Contessa. You must be kiddy. Why would I kid you, George?

446
00:24:19.559 --> 00:24:22.640
Here's the cable? Well, well that's ridiculous, mister Kipless would

447
00:24:22.680 --> 00:24:23.279
never never.

448
00:24:23.200 --> 00:24:26.079
Watch the collections for sale, isn't it. That's why we

449
00:24:26.200 --> 00:24:28.880
have it on consignment. So go on, George, get it

450
00:24:29.039 --> 00:24:29.319

451
00:24:29.599 --> 00:24:30.839

452
00:24:30.920 --> 00:24:34.799

Hotel Wooded soonest sending Wallaby authorization today.

455
00:24:45.920 --> 00:24:48.480
Listen, I didn't receive any authorization. You haven't even looked

00:24:48.480 --> 00:24:52.720
a jamail yet, George. Oh yes, let's let's see. What's that?

457
00:24:53.240 --> 00:24:55.960

whatever that is? Do you mean you don't even know?

462
00:25:16.920 --> 00:25:20.240
Why should I? Well, it's the most precious collection in

463
00:25:20.839 --> 00:25:23.279
the entire catalyze, no kidding. What's in it?

464
00:25:23.400 --> 00:25:26.640
Well, there are thirteen high quality blue white diamonds. They

465
00:25:26.680 --> 00:25:29.640
were originally part of a necklace worn by an Italian

466
00:25:29.720 --> 00:25:32.599
countess of the last That's wow. She must have been

467
00:25:32.640 --> 00:25:35.039
a pip for mister Kipnas has had this collection on

468
00:25:35.200 --> 00:25:36.720
consignment for the last two years.

469
00:25:36.799 --> 00:25:40.200
Couldn't a load of her? Well don't worry, Georgie, super

470
00:25:40.359 --> 00:25:41.319
salesman is here.

471
00:25:41.440 --> 00:25:46.839
Oh you don't understand The diamonds are virtually flawless, perfectly matched.

472
00:25:47.319 --> 00:25:49.720
But they could have been sold individually one hundred times,

473
00:25:49.799 --> 00:25:53.039
but the owner refuses to sell the gem separate. Okay,

474
00:25:53.559 --> 00:25:55.359
so I'll sell a whole bunch of them to this

475
00:25:55.519 --> 00:25:59.759
guy rutherf it and just who is rud of it.

476
00:26:00.079 --> 00:26:00.759
Of my contacts.

477
00:26:00.960 --> 00:26:03.160
Don't worry about that, Georgie. Just get this stuff out

478
00:26:03.160 --> 00:26:03.599
of the vault.

479
00:26:03.839 --> 00:26:08.559
I assume this contact is coming here. No, no, no,

480
00:26:08.759 --> 00:26:10.599
I'm bringing the collection to his hotel.

481
00:26:10.839 --> 00:26:10.880
Like.

482
00:26:11.079 --> 00:26:13.920
You can't do that? Why not? Because because it's against

483
00:26:13.920 --> 00:26:16.720
company policy. No one is allowed to leave with more

484
00:26:16.799 --> 00:26:19.160
than a few thousand dollars worth of samples, and just

485
00:26:19.519 --> 00:26:21.400
one of the diamonds in the collection is worth at

486
00:26:21.519 --> 00:26:24.720
least eighty two one hundred thousand. George, will you stop

487
00:26:24.799 --> 00:26:25.960
giving me a hard time?

488
00:26:26.599 --> 00:26:29.599
You saw the old man's cable, so don't yammer at

489
00:26:29.720 --> 00:26:34.319
me about company policy. Now, this this is quite a responsibility, Harold.

490
00:26:34.400 --> 00:26:38.160
Maybe maybe I should call mister Kidnas in Hong Kong.

491
00:26:38.279 --> 00:26:41.920
Now, George, if Kipness wanted to give you the instructions

492
00:26:42.000 --> 00:26:43.759
by phone, he would have called.

493
00:26:44.079 --> 00:26:46.599
Besides, he never spends more than a couple of days

494
00:26:46.640 --> 00:26:49.200
in these places. He has a lot of territory to cover.

495
00:26:49.200 --> 00:26:52.400
In two weeks. Well, anyone could have a cable set.

496
00:26:52.559 --> 00:26:55.599
Who else do you know named Kitnas in Hong Kong.

497
00:26:55.759 --> 00:26:58.480
Come on, George, my client is waiting for me. Get

498
00:26:58.519 --> 00:27:00.079
in there and get those diamonds.

499
00:27:01.279 --> 00:27:04.640
Very well. But it isn't in the outside vault. Mister

500
00:27:04.720 --> 00:27:07.440
Kipness keeps them in his private safe in his office.

501
00:27:08.079 --> 00:27:14.759
Excuse me that number? What did I do with that number? Oh? Yes,

502
00:27:14.920 --> 00:27:19.240
here it is two three.

503
00:27:22.079 --> 00:27:25.480
Hello, mister Costas. This this is George Wallaby.

504
00:27:25.880 --> 00:27:26.680
Call me Walter.

505
00:27:26.839 --> 00:27:29.680
George, Yes, Walter, listen, Walter, It's it's just the way

506
00:27:29.720 --> 00:27:31.960
you said it would be. Buck Calter just asked me

507
00:27:32.079 --> 00:27:34.559
to give him some diamonds from mister Kittnus's private vault.

508
00:27:34.920 --> 00:27:38.680
Oh and is away right, yes, right right.

509
00:27:38.759 --> 00:27:41.720
He's in the far East, he's traveling. There were two

510
00:27:42.000 --> 00:27:43.119
cable grams.

511
00:27:42.920 --> 00:27:46.480
Phonies, George, take my word for it. He probably has

512
00:27:46.559 --> 00:27:47.559
a consederate sandum.

513
00:27:47.720 --> 00:27:50.799
Yes, yes, I'm sure that mister Kipnus would never never

514
00:27:50.960 --> 00:27:52.480
let that collection out of his office.

515
00:27:52.519 --> 00:27:54.960
He never lets anyone ever show it but himself.

516
00:27:55.519 --> 00:27:57.359
Sounds like our boy is making his move.

517
00:27:57.559 --> 00:27:59.920
Well, what should I do water. I can't possibly get

518
00:28:00.160 --> 00:28:02.720
the diamonds. I know that it will be the last

519
00:28:02.839 --> 00:28:03.559
we see of them.

520
00:28:04.759 --> 00:28:07.880
Give them to him, George, What what did you say?

521
00:28:08.480 --> 00:28:11.839
Give him those rocks? The only way we're going to

522
00:28:11.920 --> 00:28:12.960
catch this guy right handed?

523
00:28:13.000 --> 00:28:14.119
No, no, no, I can't do that.

524
00:28:14.400 --> 00:28:16.319
Oh of course you can do it. Believe me, he

525
00:28:16.359 --> 00:28:17.559
won't get very far with him.

526
00:28:17.599 --> 00:28:19.640
Well, if he got away with this before, he didn't

527
00:28:19.680 --> 00:28:20.960
have me on his tail.

528
00:28:21.279 --> 00:28:24.880
This time will be different, I promise. Now here's what

529
00:28:25.039 --> 00:28:29.480
you do. Stall him for about half an hour. That's

530
00:28:29.519 --> 00:28:31.640
how long it'll take for me to get in front

531
00:28:31.640 --> 00:28:34.359
of your building. When he comes out with the goods.

532
00:28:35.759 --> 00:28:36.359
I'll be there.

533
00:28:37.279 --> 00:28:38.319
No, no, I won't.

534
00:28:39.359 --> 00:28:41.680
Don't you want to see justice done? George?

535
00:28:41.799 --> 00:28:44.720
I can't possibly release all those valuable diamonds.

536
00:28:44.960 --> 00:28:48.079
Don't you want to see that pony behind bars? Ray Blog?

537
00:28:48.279 --> 00:28:50.599
Yes of course I do, But I don't like the guy.

538
00:28:50.680 --> 00:28:52.680
Do you enjoyge Harold, and what.

539
00:28:52.759 --> 00:28:53.359
Are you waiting for?

540
00:28:53.599 --> 00:28:53.960
George?

541
00:28:55.319 --> 00:28:58.319
Yes, yes, you're right. You're right. It's the best way.

542
00:28:58.880 --> 00:29:01.440
I'll give him the diamonds, but I'm going with them

543
00:29:01.559 --> 00:29:04.599
to meet this customer. I want to see this arrest

544
00:29:04.640 --> 00:29:05.160
for myself.

545
00:29:05.480 --> 00:29:07.799
No, George, that's no good. You'll scare them off.

546
00:29:08.000 --> 00:29:09.920
Well, just the same as to Carstairs. If I'm going

547
00:29:10.000 --> 00:29:12.440
to do this thing, I will have to be part

548
00:29:12.559 --> 00:29:13.000
of the action.

549
00:29:13.720 --> 00:29:15.559
You really are a good citizen.

550
00:29:15.680 --> 00:29:18.400
George has nothing to do with the diamonds. I want

551
00:29:18.440 --> 00:29:22.519
to see those handcuffs go on because I hate herld.

552
00:29:26.279 --> 00:29:29.839
And so in the next few minutes, George Wallaby is

553
00:29:29.920 --> 00:29:33.000
going to get all chance for of them. Of course,

554
00:29:33.039 --> 00:29:36.240
at the same time Harold Buckhouter is going to get

555
00:29:36.319 --> 00:29:39.640
his chance. It's several hundred thousand dollars worth of diamonds.

556
00:29:40.480 --> 00:29:42.519
Which one of them is going to be the happy

557
00:29:42.640 --> 00:29:46.240
non We'll find out when the atturn with that sea.

558
00:29:56.400 --> 00:29:59.279
It's a moment of crisis in the offices of Fitness

559
00:29:59.319 --> 00:30:03.480
and Company Julius, a moment that George Wallaby will look

560
00:30:03.559 --> 00:30:06.519
upon as the turning point of design. He has made

561
00:30:06.519 --> 00:30:09.400
a faithful decision and now there is no going back.

562
00:30:10.759 --> 00:30:13.079
As he steps out of the private office that is

563
00:30:13.160 --> 00:30:17.000
informed to Kidney, there is a flat feel box in

564
00:30:17.039 --> 00:30:17.400
his hand.

565
00:30:18.400 --> 00:30:20.799
And how back holder looks at the box and smile.

566
00:30:22.039 --> 00:30:26.640
Well, that's being sensible, George. Mister Kiptness would have been

567
00:30:26.759 --> 00:30:29.000
very upset if you had to listen to him. Yes,

568
00:30:29.200 --> 00:30:32.920
we wouldn't want to upset mister Kittles with me. No, George,

569
00:30:32.920 --> 00:30:36.039
who wouldn't well hand it over?

570
00:30:36.720 --> 00:30:38.960
No, no, no, but all right, I'll be glad to

571
00:30:39.000 --> 00:30:41.640
carry them. You're really sure you want to do this? Huh?

572
00:30:42.200 --> 00:30:43.799
Come along with me? Well why not?

573
00:30:44.839 --> 00:30:48.200
You can tell him, mister Rutherford, that I am your assistant.

574
00:30:48.279 --> 00:30:50.880
That's the way you treat me around here, Isn't it

575
00:30:51.119 --> 00:30:53.279
all right, George? If that's the only way you'll have it,

576
00:30:53.400 --> 00:30:56.200
let's go. Oh, just one moment. I want to tell

577
00:30:56.240 --> 00:31:01.680
Gretcha and something. Oh, Gretchen baby, call from London this afternoon,

578
00:31:01.759 --> 00:31:04.000
maybe one for Marrakesh. Tell him I'll call back in

579
00:31:04.000 --> 00:31:04.640
a couple hours.

580
00:31:04.880 --> 00:31:07.960
Yes, and don't forget about tonight. I just got the

581
00:31:08.000 --> 00:31:09.599
tickets fifth Row Center.

582
00:31:09.960 --> 00:31:10.839
I won't forget.

583
00:31:11.119 --> 00:31:14.079
I'll we go back to my place later and listen

584
00:31:14.119 --> 00:31:15.240
to mine new stereo.

585
00:31:15.440 --> 00:31:15.599
Huh.

586
00:31:17.119 --> 00:31:23.039
Well, George, ready to leave? Oh? Yes, I'm ready. You

587
00:31:23.519 --> 00:31:25.400
don't know how ready I am.

588
00:31:30.640 --> 00:31:34.039
It was exactly twenty five minutes since George's last word

589
00:31:34.160 --> 00:31:37.960
with Walter Carsty when he and Harold emerged into the street.

590
00:31:39.160 --> 00:31:42.920
He's heart beating twice as fast as nor. George clutched

591
00:31:43.119 --> 00:31:46.839
the black spear box against his chest. If Horod guest,

592
00:31:46.920 --> 00:31:50.720
he waved the taxis to stop against the car. George

593
00:31:50.759 --> 00:31:53.920
looked about for Walter Carsty, but there's no sign with

594
00:31:54.039 --> 00:31:57.400
thee and he began to wonder if he'd need.

595
00:31:57.319 --> 00:31:57.839
It on time.

596
00:32:00.119 --> 00:32:02.799
Tell what it please, mously.

597
00:32:02.920 --> 00:32:05.319
George look out the real window to try and catch

598
00:32:05.359 --> 00:32:08.839
a glimpse of go stairs trailing vehicle. He saw nothing.

599
00:32:09.640 --> 00:32:12.400
He's not sure that they protected was behind him.

600
00:32:13.359 --> 00:32:16.759
You think you don't trust me, do you? George? Why

601
00:32:17.039 --> 00:32:19.480
why do you say that that's the reason you came

602
00:32:19.559 --> 00:32:20.160
along with me?

603
00:32:20.319 --> 00:32:24.480
Obviously you thought I might do something foolish like walk

604
00:32:24.559 --> 00:32:25.440
off with a diamond.

605
00:32:25.519 --> 00:32:28.319
Oh no, I didn't take any such thing.

606
00:32:28.839 --> 00:32:30.720
I could see from the way you looked at those

607
00:32:30.880 --> 00:32:33.759
cablegrams you thought they just might be.

608
00:32:33.880 --> 00:32:38.480
A fake, didn't you? Certainly not. Yeah, I'll bet you.

609
00:32:38.559 --> 00:32:41.759
Were hoping they were a fake, George, And I'll bet you're.

610
00:32:41.640 --> 00:32:44.200
Hoping there ain't a mister Rutherford at the hotel? Am

611
00:32:44.240 --> 00:32:47.559
I right now? I have no idea what you're talking about.

612
00:32:47.599 --> 00:32:50.880
Harry'll tell me something. Why do you keep looking out

613
00:32:50.880 --> 00:32:54.240
of the back window at the bell well, it's just

614
00:32:54.279 --> 00:32:56.039
a habit. That's a habit of mine. I'm always a

615
00:32:56.079 --> 00:32:59.319
bit nervous when I'm carrying so much, so much precious Richard.

616
00:33:00.519 --> 00:33:05.440
Well, I can help make you less nervous, George, give

617
00:33:05.519 --> 00:33:06.119
the box to me.

618
00:33:06.319 --> 00:33:11.839
I know, thank you. Hey, here we are and there

619
00:33:11.880 --> 00:33:19.119
you go, buddy. Well are you all set? George? All set?

620
00:33:24.519 --> 00:33:25.119
Is the end of the.

621
00:33:25.119 --> 00:33:28.799
Lovey of the hoothel doesn't share. Poor George Willerbys is

622
00:33:28.880 --> 00:33:31.720
shaking so high he can hardly navigate across the thick

623
00:33:31.799 --> 00:33:36.000
carpet there is in the sun Walter consty, And for

624
00:33:36.160 --> 00:33:40.799
a depressing moment, George wonders if the detective who's been mistaken,

625
00:33:41.720 --> 00:33:45.400
if the cablegram was indeed genuine, If here really is

626
00:33:45.480 --> 00:33:48.720
a mister Rapperford in the hotel room upstairs, waiting to

627
00:33:48.799 --> 00:33:51.160
make an offer on the most precious gems in the

628
00:33:51.240 --> 00:33:52.920
Kittens and Company inventory.

629
00:33:53.279 --> 00:33:56.000
One moment, George, I'll have to use the house phone

630
00:33:56.480 --> 00:34:02.200
tell Rutherford that we're here. Oh uh, mister Rutherford, please,

631
00:34:02.279 --> 00:34:04.119
I think the room number is eight eleven.

632
00:34:04.279 --> 00:34:07.880
George Hart is beating faster than ever he's been. Really

633
00:34:08.000 --> 00:34:11.480
enough offit is he a genuine customer? Or perhaps the

634
00:34:11.599 --> 00:34:15.719
consider it is Harold buckhater. If he goes upstairs with Harold,

635
00:34:16.239 --> 00:34:19.639
will his life be in danger? George's hand and fat

636
00:34:19.679 --> 00:34:23.320
stew Bucks to come sleep with perspiration and an esteem,

637
00:34:23.639 --> 00:34:25.800
signed walters the thing.

638
00:34:27.280 --> 00:34:29.320
Oh, George, huh, he uh?

639
00:34:29.559 --> 00:34:32.440
He wants me to come up alone? What Rutherford? He

640
00:34:32.519 --> 00:34:35.760
wants me to come upstairs by myself with the diamonds?

641
00:34:35.800 --> 00:34:37.840
Of course, Well I told you I can't permit it.

642
00:34:38.039 --> 00:34:39.880
Rutherford is a very private person.

643
00:34:40.039 --> 00:34:42.480
He doesn't like a lot of people around our Come on, George,

644
00:34:42.519 --> 00:34:44.000
give me the bar now, I will do it. He's

645
00:34:44.039 --> 00:34:46.719
only going to be in town one day now. If

646
00:34:46.760 --> 00:34:50.039
he doesn't see the contestic election right now, we lose

647
00:34:50.119 --> 00:34:50.519
the sale.

648
00:34:50.519 --> 00:34:53.440
Well I can't. I still, I still sorry, George. It

649
00:34:53.639 --> 00:34:55.840
just has to be this way. Hey, give me that

650
00:34:56.079 --> 00:34:59.119
box later, Harold suck. I can't keep it waiting. I

651
00:34:59.199 --> 00:35:01.159
can just catch that elevator, Harold.

652
00:35:03.960 --> 00:35:04.679
It is no use.

653
00:35:06.000 --> 00:35:08.719
Hand was gone behind the closing doors of the elevator.

654
00:35:09.559 --> 00:35:11.840
He had moved too swiftly for George to stop him,

655
00:35:12.400 --> 00:35:15.519
and there is still no sign of the detective. Frankly,

656
00:35:15.679 --> 00:35:17.400
George tries to decide what to do.

657
00:35:18.400 --> 00:35:19.320
Then he has an idea.

658
00:35:20.840 --> 00:35:27.480
Hello, mister Rutherforth, please Rutherforth or r u T No, No,

659
00:35:27.599 --> 00:35:29.039
I don't know his first name, but he must be

660
00:35:29.079 --> 00:35:29.679
registered here.

661
00:35:29.719 --> 00:35:35.719
I just heard someone. Oh, oh I see, yes, yes,

662
00:35:35.800 --> 00:35:38.599
thank you very much. Oh my gosh, my gosh.

663
00:35:38.639 --> 00:35:41.199
He didn't call upstairs at all. He must have had

664
00:35:41.239 --> 00:35:43.800
his finger on the hook. There is no rubberport that

665
00:35:44.000 --> 00:35:48.039
Harold has the diamonds. George, what oh, oh, mister Carstes,

666
00:35:48.639 --> 00:35:49.039
have you been.

667
00:35:49.119 --> 00:35:52.119
He's got the diamonds. Harold has the diamonds. Of course

668
00:35:52.159 --> 00:35:54.320
he has them. He has to have them, George, her

669
00:35:54.519 --> 00:35:55.079
The whole thing.

670
00:35:55.039 --> 00:35:55.480
Is no good.

671
00:35:55.599 --> 00:35:57.000
What I told you.

672
00:35:57.679 --> 00:35:59.480
The only way I'm going to get a conviction is

673
00:35:59.519 --> 00:36:00.639
by cat seeing the guy.

674
00:36:00.719 --> 00:36:03.400
Red handed, and that's what I'm going to do. But

675
00:36:03.679 --> 00:36:06.239
he's gone. He took the box and went into the elevator.

676
00:36:06.280 --> 00:36:08.039
He could be anywhere in the hotel by now. I

677
00:36:08.159 --> 00:36:11.199
know exactly where he is, George, I know exactly how

678
00:36:11.280 --> 00:36:13.440
that man operated. Well where where where is he?

679
00:36:14.000 --> 00:36:16.440
I'm sure he did exactly what he did in Chicago

680
00:36:16.800 --> 00:36:20.199
and Detroit and lord knows how many other places. He

681
00:36:20.280 --> 00:36:23.199
got off the elevator at the next time and then

682
00:36:23.239 --> 00:36:25.039
took the service elevator to the street.

683
00:36:25.760 --> 00:36:26.599
Come on, we don't have a.

684
00:36:26.639 --> 00:36:27.199
Moment to lose.

685
00:36:29.719 --> 00:36:30.280
Do you see him?

686
00:36:30.559 --> 00:36:32.920
Do you see him, mister Costas, Yes, here he is.

687
00:36:33.000 --> 00:36:35.679
Where where coming out of that alley? Oh quick, he's

688
00:36:35.719 --> 00:36:40.760
heading to that cab stand buck hold her? Stop, hurry,

689
00:36:40.920 --> 00:36:45.400
hurry quick, don't let him get away? Got her hand? Hey,

690
00:36:45.519 --> 00:36:46.000
what is this?

691
00:36:46.199 --> 00:36:46.760
What do you want?

692
00:36:47.159 --> 00:36:50.000
I know what you want? Buck hold her, But you're

693
00:36:50.039 --> 00:36:52.639
not getting away with it this time. George, who is

694
00:36:52.760 --> 00:36:54.880
this man? Is he a friend of yours?

695
00:36:54.880 --> 00:36:55.039
All?

696
00:36:55.320 --> 00:36:57.800
Yes? He is one of the best friends I ever had.

697
00:36:57.920 --> 00:36:58.039
Now.

698
00:36:58.280 --> 00:37:01.480
Look, I was just going to bring diamonds to the airport.

699
00:37:01.639 --> 00:37:04.719
I found out that Brotherford couldn't wait for me and

700
00:37:04.920 --> 00:37:06.119
was on his way back home.

701
00:37:06.360 --> 00:37:07.320
I thought I could.

702
00:37:07.519 --> 00:37:12.599
Yes, I know exactly what you bought, Buckholder, But you're

703
00:37:12.639 --> 00:37:13.599
not going to the airport.

704
00:37:14.480 --> 00:37:15.159
You're going with me.

705
00:37:15.400 --> 00:37:16.960
Hey, Hey, what is it?

706
00:37:17.199 --> 00:37:23.559
Is called a bad Buckholder? And these these are called handcuffs.

707
00:37:25.199 --> 00:37:28.679
Harold Buckholder. You're under arrest at the climb of grand

708
00:37:28.800 --> 00:37:29.199
last name.

709
00:37:30.000 --> 00:37:32.360
It's my duty to warn you that anything you might say,

710
00:37:33.039 --> 00:37:34.800
maybe he is in testimony against you.

711
00:37:41.559 --> 00:37:43.440
Good morning, Gretchen's mister Kitnas.

712
00:37:43.599 --> 00:37:49.159
Yet it's all true, Yes, yes, it's true. All right,

713
00:37:49.159 --> 00:37:52.039
I'll tell you all about it at lunch if you like. Oh, yes, yes,

714
00:37:52.079 --> 00:38:02.960
I'll see you later. Oh George, George h said, I'm George,

715
00:38:03.239 --> 00:38:04.840
say talk to me.

716
00:38:06.119 --> 00:38:08.760
But whatever you do, don't tell me what a fool

717
00:38:08.760 --> 00:38:09.239
would have been.

718
00:38:10.320 --> 00:38:11.719
And I know I'd only too.

719
00:38:11.719 --> 00:38:15.079
Well with child. Now, don't you be too hurt on yourself,

720
00:38:15.159 --> 00:38:15.840
mister Kipness.

721
00:38:16.719 --> 00:38:19.639
You warned me, George, You told me I was being

722
00:38:19.679 --> 00:38:22.880
a silly, old fool trusting that young man without even

723
00:38:23.039 --> 00:38:24.360
checking out his references.

724
00:38:24.440 --> 00:38:25.400
Well, it wouldn't have helped.

725
00:38:25.440 --> 00:38:30.000
Mister Harold's reference would have been verified. Nobody he ever

726
00:38:30.079 --> 00:38:31.840
worked for a thought that he was a crook. That's

727
00:38:31.880 --> 00:38:33.840
why he got away with it for such a long time.

728
00:38:34.320 --> 00:38:39.719
You do have insurance, of course, insurance. Who are you

729
00:38:39.840 --> 00:38:42.480
talking about, white to cover the loss?

730
00:38:43.159 --> 00:38:43.760
What loss?

731
00:38:44.960 --> 00:38:50.280
What are you talking about? You mean you don't know when.

732
00:38:50.239 --> 00:38:52.079
You told me on the phone where there was.

733
00:38:52.119 --> 00:38:56.519
A trap if this detective he well, what was his name?

734
00:38:56.559 --> 00:38:59.679
Why I call him Walter? He told me this to

735
00:38:59.800 --> 00:39:00.239
take if.

736
00:39:00.159 --> 00:39:02.239
You've wanted to catch a book hold him yet?

737
00:39:02.519 --> 00:39:04.920
Yes, yes, that's what he told me. Of course he

738
00:39:05.119 --> 00:39:09.039
was lying here? Why he didn't want to trap Harold.

739
00:39:09.119 --> 00:39:11.199
He wanted to trap me, and that's what he did.

740
00:39:11.599 --> 00:39:14.480
He was a crook too. Well, did you say.

741
00:39:14.800 --> 00:39:18.079
I just came from the police, mister Kipness, and they

742
00:39:18.159 --> 00:39:20.960
told me there isn't any cop named Walter Carstairs, private

743
00:39:21.119 --> 00:39:25.559
or otherwise. They told me that Walter is Harold's confederate.

744
00:39:26.320 --> 00:39:27.400
Oh good lord.

745
00:39:27.519 --> 00:39:30.039
Yes, they've been working this con game for years, and

746
00:39:30.159 --> 00:39:32.280
that's why Walter kept the contestant collection.

747
00:39:32.760 --> 00:39:35.519
Yeah, if you told me he needed them for verdence.

748
00:39:35.639 --> 00:39:38.599
Yes, that's that's what he always says. Of course, then

749
00:39:39.760 --> 00:39:41.599
the diamonds are gone.

750
00:39:41.800 --> 00:39:44.719
Oh yes, sir, Yes, I'm sure they're both out of

751
00:39:44.760 --> 00:39:48.000
the country by now. Mister Kitnas deciding how to spend

752
00:39:48.039 --> 00:39:50.119
the money, you know, and I.

753
00:39:50.480 --> 00:39:51.639
Just decided join.

754
00:39:51.800 --> 00:39:55.000
What's that? Mister, You're fired?

755
00:40:00.440 --> 00:40:01.880
I don't understand, George.

756
00:40:02.440 --> 00:40:04.360
Didn't you like the House of Health and your.

757
00:40:04.599 --> 00:40:07.840
No, Gretchen and I feel healthy enough, thanks, But this

758
00:40:08.039 --> 00:40:08.199
is the.

759
00:40:08.320 --> 00:40:10.440
Most expensive restaurant in town.

760
00:40:10.599 --> 00:40:13.960
Well, I just wanted us to have lunch someplace special

761
00:40:14.159 --> 00:40:14.679
for a change.

762
00:40:14.800 --> 00:40:18.039
Oh but you can't afford that, George. I mean, didn't

763
00:40:18.079 --> 00:40:20.400
you just tell me that, mister Kidneys fired you that's right.

764
00:40:20.719 --> 00:40:22.960
But did he give you a severance pay or something?

765
00:40:23.039 --> 00:40:23.960
No, not a penny.

766
00:40:24.679 --> 00:40:25.840
You're not upset about it?

767
00:40:26.000 --> 00:40:31.119
Oh no, No, I deserve being fired, and I certainly

768
00:40:31.400 --> 00:40:33.000
didn't deserve any severance pays.

769
00:40:33.159 --> 00:40:35.880
But what happened wasn't your fault, wasn't it? Would they

770
00:40:36.039 --> 00:40:39.199
fooled you, George? They were just too clever for you?

771
00:40:39.360 --> 00:40:39.440
Oh?

772
00:40:39.519 --> 00:40:43.119
Yes, they were clever, wasn't they. I'm sure Howld dreamed

773
00:40:43.159 --> 00:40:43.960
up the whole scheme.

774
00:40:44.480 --> 00:40:44.679
Yeah.

775
00:40:44.719 --> 00:40:46.079
I know this is awful to.

776
00:40:46.159 --> 00:40:48.239
Say, but but I can't help you.

777
00:40:48.360 --> 00:40:51.239
You can't help thinking that Hold was clever.

778
00:40:51.599 --> 00:40:55.039
Well, you have to admit there was something romantic about

779
00:40:55.079 --> 00:40:55.559
what they did.

780
00:40:55.880 --> 00:41:00.400
Yes, I knew you felt that way, Gretchen. Then how

781
00:41:00.559 --> 00:41:04.440
romantic jewel thieves were? That's why I did what I did?

782
00:41:05.199 --> 00:41:05.760
What do you mean?

783
00:41:05.920 --> 00:41:06.159
Well?

784
00:41:06.400 --> 00:41:11.800
You see I didn't give Hold the Contessa collection people. No, no,

785
00:41:12.920 --> 00:41:15.199
you see, when Harold asked me for them, I went

786
00:41:15.239 --> 00:41:19.039
into mister Kitmas's office safe and took the diamonds out

787
00:41:19.079 --> 00:41:22.159
of the box, and then I put some cheap paste

788
00:41:22.239 --> 00:41:25.559
imitation in their place, and I locked the box.

789
00:41:25.719 --> 00:41:28.000
Can since the diamonds is still here?

790
00:41:28.719 --> 00:41:34.119
Oh no, no, the diamonds are Gorman, Gretchen. We just

791
00:41:34.400 --> 00:41:39.800
to those clever, clever international jewel thieves took them.

792
00:41:40.199 --> 00:41:51.039
Gretchen. Remember, oh you, by the way, have you ever

793
00:41:51.159 --> 00:41:52.960
been to South America? Gretchen?

794
00:41:58.079 --> 00:42:00.559
It looks as if the Contessa collection, who has just

795
00:42:00.679 --> 00:42:04.480
been added to George Wallerby's collection, and so for that matter,

796
00:42:04.639 --> 00:42:08.199
has Gretchen. You might say there's a moral to our story.

797
00:42:08.920 --> 00:42:12.320
Even though George started out hating Harold, he ended up

798
00:42:12.400 --> 00:42:15.880
by being very grateful to her, which goes to prove

799
00:42:16.519 --> 00:42:19.559
that you can always find something to like in everyone

800
00:42:19.679 --> 00:42:22.639
you meet. I'll be back with a further report on

801
00:42:22.760 --> 00:42:33.440
the Contessa Collection shortly. There was only one problem in

802
00:42:33.519 --> 00:42:37.079
George Wallerby's life. The day he and Gretchen showed up

803
00:42:37.119 --> 00:42:39.960
at the airport to board a plane for Brazil, they

804
00:42:40.000 --> 00:42:43.760
were approached by two gentlemen with badges. This time, the

805
00:42:43.880 --> 00:42:48.119
badges were the real thing, you see. George decided it

806
00:42:48.159 --> 00:42:51.559
would be much better to carry the Contessa collection aboard

807
00:42:51.599 --> 00:42:55.679
by hand. What he forgot was that all hand luggage

808
00:42:55.719 --> 00:43:00.280
went through X ray inspection. Oh well, they do say

809
00:43:00.480 --> 00:43:05.159
crime doesn't pass the timing mystery can also be entertainment,

810
00:43:05.880 --> 00:43:06.719
so we hope you'll be.

811
00:43:06.760 --> 00:43:08.000
Listening for us next team.

812
00:43:08.800 --> 00:43:13.679
I cost included later Haynes Project, Robert Dadon's and Dinatur Group.

813
00:43:14.119 --> 00:43:17.519
The entire production is under the direction of timing down.

814
00:43:20.599 --> 00:43:20.840
Well.

815
00:43:21.800 --> 00:43:24.480
I found that one a bit on the chilling side.

816
00:43:24.719 --> 00:43:30.039
Wouldn't you say? Well, please please allow me to freshen

817
00:43:30.119 --> 00:43:30.679
up your teeth.

818
00:43:31.639 --> 00:43:32.280
The chair is.

819
00:43:32.360 --> 00:43:39.360
Comfortable as good, very good. Well, as we continue our

820
00:43:40.400 --> 00:43:47.400
theme about the extremes of detestment, I don't want to

821
00:43:47.519 --> 00:43:54.320
keep things all in the realm of a distant dislike. No, no, no,

822
00:43:55.880 --> 00:43:59.880
I think that one of the most underrated of all

823
00:44:00.360 --> 00:44:06.000
the abhorrence. Let's see about your brotherly hate.

824
00:44:07.679 --> 00:44:10.119
And now stay tuned for the program that has rated

825
00:44:10.159 --> 00:44:13.280
tops in popularity for a longer period of time than

826
00:44:13.320 --> 00:44:16.760
any other West Coast program in radio history, The Signal

827
00:44:16.840 --> 00:44:17.639
Oil program.

828
00:44:18.079 --> 00:44:19.159
The Whistler.

829
00:44:29.119 --> 00:44:42.400
Signal, the famous go Farther Gasoline invites you to sit

830
00:44:42.519 --> 00:44:47.840
back and enjoy another strange story by the Whistler for

831
00:44:48.000 --> 00:44:50.800
extra driving pleasure. The signal to look for is the

832
00:44:50.880 --> 00:44:54.840
yellow and black circle sign that identifies signal service stations

833
00:44:54.880 --> 00:44:58.760
from Canada to Mexico, and for Sunday evening listening pleasure,

834
00:44:59.159 --> 00:45:03.039
the signal to listen, for is this whistle that identifies

835
00:45:03.119 --> 00:45:23.119
the signal oil program the whistler. I am the whistler,

836
00:45:23.800 --> 00:45:26.280
and I know many things. For I walk by night.

837
00:45:27.119 --> 00:45:30.239
I know many strange tales hidden in the hearts of

838
00:45:30.360 --> 00:45:33.639
men and women who have stepped into the shadows. Yes,

839
00:45:34.519 --> 00:45:38.079
I know the nameless terrors of which they dare not speak.

840
00:45:41.000 --> 00:45:45.440
And now the whistler's strange story brotherly hate.

841
00:45:53.599 --> 00:45:54.840
Visiting hours were over.

842
00:45:55.360 --> 00:45:59.039
The Jeffrey Long Museum in San Francisco was quiet, and

843
00:45:59.199 --> 00:46:01.519
in the private office of the owner. Jeffrey sat at

844
00:46:01.599 --> 00:46:04.599
his desk, staring at the note in his hands, a

845
00:46:04.719 --> 00:46:07.519
note that was damp, almost wet with his own perspiration.

846
00:46:08.360 --> 00:46:10.800
The hands trembled, and there was a tight, nervous feeling

847
00:46:10.840 --> 00:46:14.639
in the pit of his stomach, symptoms of terror. It

848
00:46:14.719 --> 00:46:17.480
had all started three months ago, when Jeffrey Long had

849
00:46:17.559 --> 00:46:21.800
received the first envelope while in Cairo. Then followed days

850
00:46:21.880 --> 00:46:26.400
and weeks of mounting fear, because each Saturday thereafter, like

851
00:46:26.480 --> 00:46:30.519
a gentle stabbing, before the final thrust, came an identical note,

852
00:46:30.800 --> 00:46:32.519
and the message was always the same.

853
00:46:33.480 --> 00:46:37.440
If you've killed the Stelle, you will die on the

854
00:46:37.519 --> 00:46:39.440
anniversary of her death.

855
00:46:40.599 --> 00:46:44.280
And now it's Saturday again. The feeling of terror grows stronger,

856
00:46:44.360 --> 00:46:49.199
doesn't it, Jeffrey. The beads of perspiration on your forehead colder. Yes,

857
00:46:49.960 --> 00:46:54.360
because it's Saturday, and tomorrow, Sunday, the seventeenth is the

858
00:46:54.440 --> 00:46:56.559
anniversary of Estelle's death.

859
00:46:59.239 --> 00:47:01.960
Yes, Burton is here, sir, Thank you, Miss Grant. Send

860
00:47:02.039 --> 00:47:06.920
him in. Come in, Burton, come in.

861
00:47:07.880 --> 00:47:09.000
It's on your mind long.

862
00:47:09.159 --> 00:47:10.079
You know how I called you.

863
00:47:10.960 --> 00:47:14.800
Sit down, let me discover the lamp used by Rameses

864
00:47:14.880 --> 00:47:15.320
the fourth.

865
00:47:16.800 --> 00:47:18.920
Oh what I do for money? You're a private detective,

866
00:47:18.920 --> 00:47:22.679
aren't you? What about a Stelle Blair's brother. Look, if

867
00:47:22.719 --> 00:47:26.000
you didn't kill the girl, why worry this? This brother,

868
00:47:26.159 --> 00:47:28.440
the one who's been sending me these letters, he's obviously

869
00:47:28.480 --> 00:47:30.760
a crackpot. He might do anything.

870
00:47:31.159 --> 00:47:32.920
Ah, the police, they'll give you a protection.

871
00:47:33.360 --> 00:47:34.760
He's got to be found. You've got to find him.

872
00:47:36.239 --> 00:47:39.360
I can't go around afraid of everyone I meet, everyone

873
00:47:39.400 --> 00:47:42.480
from cab drivers to the the caretakers. Here in my

874
00:47:42.559 --> 00:47:43.079
own building.

875
00:47:43.559 --> 00:47:46.360
Listen, when I walk in here nearly a year ago

876
00:47:46.400 --> 00:47:48.480
with a hunk of of pyrus and an alabaster cup,

877
00:47:48.519 --> 00:47:51.480
that Belanda king Tot You hired me like that, so

878
00:47:51.679 --> 00:47:53.679
since then, I've been doing your dirty work. I've even

879
00:47:53.719 --> 00:47:56.400
swiped scaabs and jewel boxes for you all over the world.

880
00:47:56.840 --> 00:47:57.960
But murder's another.

881
00:47:57.840 --> 00:47:58.960
Thing, even for me.

882
00:48:00.119 --> 00:48:02.079
I want to know what I'm getting into, that's all.

883
00:48:02.840 --> 00:48:04.679
If you kill Estelle Blair, then I want to know

884
00:48:04.760 --> 00:48:05.119
about that.

885
00:48:05.480 --> 00:48:11.400
That's clear. I told you death was an accident, and I'm.

886
00:48:11.320 --> 00:48:14.480
Telling you the result of my investigation as far as

887
00:48:14.559 --> 00:48:18.480
I'm concerned. As tell Blair never had a brother. Anytime

888
00:48:18.559 --> 00:48:20.960
you decide to give out with what really's got you scared, just.

889
00:48:21.199 --> 00:48:22.000
Dial my number.

890
00:48:22.119 --> 00:48:23.719
You can't walk out of me now, but you can

891
00:48:23.760 --> 00:48:25.639
get another private No, no, there isn't time.

892
00:48:25.800 --> 00:48:29.000
Like I said, when you're ready to tell me why

893
00:48:29.079 --> 00:48:32.079
you're so scared, just dial my number.

894
00:48:33.159 --> 00:48:34.880
But don't wait too long.

895
00:48:43.679 --> 00:48:48.039
It's turned out as you feared it would, hasn't it yet? Yes, Burton,

896
00:48:48.119 --> 00:48:51.199
the private detective hasn't been able to find Estelle Blair's brother,

897
00:48:51.719 --> 00:48:54.840
and now there's only one thing to do. You know,

898
00:48:55.000 --> 00:48:57.800
there's too much to lose if you are murdered. The

899
00:48:57.920 --> 00:49:02.199
resultant investigation would certainly the ugly facts surrounding your former

900
00:49:02.280 --> 00:49:03.119
assistance death.

901
00:49:04.199 --> 00:49:06.480
You have immortality to lose.

902
00:49:06.599 --> 00:49:07.039
Jeffrey.

903
00:49:07.679 --> 00:49:11.159
Your name is the greatest private collector of Egyptology in

904
00:49:11.199 --> 00:49:14.679
the world, the proud name that shines brightly from the

905
00:49:14.800 --> 00:49:18.760
brass plaque on your great museum, the museum you intend

906
00:49:18.880 --> 00:49:23.079
to wielder the city on your death. Quickly you'll get

907
00:49:23.119 --> 00:49:25.920
to your feet, hurry to the small cabinet and take

908
00:49:26.000 --> 00:49:27.440
down a bottle mark poison.

909
00:49:28.199 --> 00:49:29.000
There is a way out.

910
00:49:29.079 --> 00:49:32.480
Isn't there a way you can preserve the honored name

911
00:49:32.679 --> 00:49:33.960
of Jeffrey Long?

912
00:49:35.280 --> 00:49:37.079
Excuse me, mister Long?

913
00:49:38.519 --> 00:49:42.880
Oh oh, what is it, miss, if you won't be

914
00:49:43.039 --> 00:49:44.239
needing me anymore this evening?

915
00:49:44.320 --> 00:49:47.920
Sir, No, no, I won't be needing you, miss. Grant

916
00:49:48.000 --> 00:49:55.519
you now, and second thought, perhaps you'd better stay a

917
00:49:55.639 --> 00:50:01.079
few minutes. There is something you can do. Yes, I'll

918
00:50:02.119 --> 00:50:02.440
call you.

919
00:50:07.119 --> 00:50:10.079
As you walk back to your desk, you unscrew the

920
00:50:10.159 --> 00:50:13.719
cap on the bottle of poison. A herculean force dragged

921
00:50:13.719 --> 00:50:15.760
at your arm as you try to lift the bottle

922
00:50:15.800 --> 00:50:16.360
to your lips.

923
00:50:17.039 --> 00:50:18.000
Finally you succeed.

924
00:50:18.519 --> 00:50:22.280
Your throat is numb as you take one swallow, then another,

925
00:50:23.360 --> 00:50:27.199
and another. Then a sudden stiffness seizes your hand. The

926
00:50:27.280 --> 00:50:32.880
bottle slipped through your fingers. Slowly you walk around the desk,

927
00:50:33.039 --> 00:50:35.800
slump into the chair. You wait a minute or so,

928
00:50:36.039 --> 00:50:37.559
and then press the buzzer.

929
00:50:40.440 --> 00:50:47.840
Come in, miss scratch, mister long, is something matter?

930
00:50:48.039 --> 00:50:54.199
Yes, sir, made a terrible stake in the cabinet. Two

931
00:50:54.280 --> 00:50:59.719
bottles almost identical. One contains cough Melson, the other deadly.

932
00:50:59.440 --> 00:51:01.840
Poisonous, too long. It didn't really take.

933
00:51:04.159 --> 00:51:07.159
It was a mistake. Do you understand? Be sure they know.

934
00:51:08.239 --> 00:51:13.239
They mustn't think otherwise. It wasn't suicide. Remember that it

935
00:51:13.440 --> 00:51:14.440
wasn't suicide.

936
00:51:16.079 --> 00:51:22.840
You're not going to die. I was afraid you'd do

937
00:51:22.960 --> 00:51:26.679
something like this. I poured the poison down the sink

938
00:51:27.639 --> 00:51:33.559
yesterday afternoon. What you drank was just colored water.

939
00:51:47.119 --> 00:51:47.159
Ed.

940
00:51:47.239 --> 00:51:50.320
Stevens of Long Beach, California is the Whistler fan who

941
00:51:50.360 --> 00:51:53.840
receives a twenty dollars signal gasoline book this week as

942
00:51:53.880 --> 00:51:56.599
a token of our appreciation for sending in this limerick.

943
00:51:59.480 --> 00:52:02.599
There once was a driver named Abbot whose car took

944
00:52:02.679 --> 00:52:05.719
off like a rabbit signal. Ethyl said, he is the

945
00:52:05.800 --> 00:52:08.880
fuel for me. From now on, I'll make it a habit.

946
00:52:09.199 --> 00:52:16.079
Signal signal gasoline your carvcal.

947
00:52:15.679 --> 00:52:16.320
Far with no.

948
00:52:18.760 --> 00:52:18.960
If.

949
00:52:19.159 --> 00:52:21.960
Like our friend Abbot, you like pickup that's quick as

950
00:52:22.000 --> 00:52:25.159
a rabbit. Then signal ethyl is a gasoline for you.

951
00:52:25.920 --> 00:52:28.239
But flashing pickup, mind you, is only one of the

952
00:52:28.320 --> 00:52:30.960
improvements you'll discover when you power your car with this

953
00:52:31.119 --> 00:52:35.639
super fuel. In addition, you'll enjoy signal ethyl's extra power

954
00:52:36.039 --> 00:52:39.639
that makes cars fairly fly uphills and makes passing safer,

955
00:52:40.199 --> 00:52:42.920
and you'll be amazed at your engine's contented, ping free

956
00:52:43.119 --> 00:52:46.960
per For signal ethyl is scientifically engineered to bring out

957
00:52:47.000 --> 00:52:49.480
the very peak of performance your car is capable of,

958
00:52:50.079 --> 00:52:53.840
regardless of age. So why not discover how much fun

959
00:52:53.960 --> 00:52:54.840
driving can be?

960
00:52:55.800 --> 00:52:56.280
Next time?

961
00:52:56.400 --> 00:52:58.639
Treat your car to a tank full of the gasoline

962
00:52:58.679 --> 00:53:03.000
that's packed with more gold. Next time, fill up with

963
00:53:03.199 --> 00:53:04.000
signal ethel.

964
00:53:22.639 --> 00:53:25.079
When you raised the bottle of poison to your lips,

965
00:53:25.360 --> 00:53:27.719
you thought it was the only way out, didn't you, Jeffrey,

966
00:53:28.760 --> 00:53:31.280
you would cheat a stelle Blair's brother, the man who

967
00:53:31.320 --> 00:53:33.760
had sworn to kill you, if you took your own

968
00:53:33.840 --> 00:53:36.280
life and make it appear as an accident, and you

969
00:53:36.320 --> 00:53:37.960
would preserve the honored.

970
00:53:37.719 --> 00:53:38.800
Name of Jeffrey Long.

971
00:53:39.840 --> 00:53:41.960
Then, as you sat at your desk waiting for death,

972
00:53:42.559 --> 00:53:46.000
your secretary, Bernice Grant, informed you that you wouldn't die

973
00:53:46.800 --> 00:53:49.119
because she'd poured the poison out of the bottle the

974
00:53:49.239 --> 00:53:54.079
day before, replace the deadly contents with harmless colored water.

975
00:53:54.599 --> 00:53:59.000
I was afraid you'd try to kill yourself. You see,

976
00:54:00.039 --> 00:54:01.199
I've known about the letters.

977
00:54:03.119 --> 00:54:03.679
You knew all.

978
00:54:04.639 --> 00:54:10.800
Yes, I've seen the fear worry in your eyes of torture.

979
00:54:12.039 --> 00:54:12.719
But I couldn't.

980
00:54:13.199 --> 00:54:15.199
I'll do it again. You and no one else can stop.

981
00:54:15.320 --> 00:54:17.039
No, no, you mustn't. I can help you.

982
00:54:17.159 --> 00:54:20.559
Please leave me alone. You won't leave me alone. Please,

983
00:54:22.320 --> 00:54:25.639
I can help you. I want to help, I said,

984
00:54:30.039 --> 00:54:30.440
what did I.

985
00:54:30.480 --> 00:54:32.039
Do to you?

986
00:54:32.159 --> 00:54:35.400
Must find a Stale Blair's brother. You can talk to him.

987
00:54:35.559 --> 00:54:36.639
Tell him that was an accident.

988
00:54:37.280 --> 00:54:41.880
Yes, yes, I I could tell him how she slipped

989
00:54:42.920 --> 00:54:45.440
fell off the ball day. I could show him I

990
00:54:45.519 --> 00:54:46.000
wasn't to blame.

991
00:54:46.320 --> 00:54:47.599
I'm sure I could find him.

992
00:54:48.320 --> 00:54:50.679
I know, if you'll trust me, it's impossible.

993
00:54:51.719 --> 00:54:54.199
What if I told you I'd already located a Stale

994
00:54:54.239 --> 00:54:59.760
Blair's father. What, Yes, I learned about him the other day.

995
00:54:59.800 --> 00:55:03.440
He living in the old man's home in Santa Parata.

996
00:55:04.519 --> 00:55:07.920
I know if I can talk to him. Please let

997
00:55:08.039 --> 00:55:11.280
me try. Well, you promise not to try again to

998
00:55:11.320 --> 00:55:11.840
take your life.

999
00:55:12.119 --> 00:55:13.679
Sure you're not making all this up, Jets.

1000
00:55:13.760 --> 00:55:16.239
I tell you, I know I can find his tale's brother. Now,

1001
00:55:17.360 --> 00:55:24.840
promise me all right and go to the king tat

1002
00:55:24.880 --> 00:55:27.599
room in the basement. There's a telephone there on the couch.

1003
00:55:28.599 --> 00:55:31.119
Stay there until I call you. I'll bring you some

1004
00:55:31.199 --> 00:55:33.320
food later. Will you go?

1005
00:55:34.320 --> 00:55:37.440
Yes, please, if you say so.

1006
00:55:38.280 --> 00:55:42.719
And please, no matter what happens, trust me.

1007
00:55:44.400 --> 00:55:45.719
You must trust me.

1008
00:55:47.360 --> 00:55:49.719
You see, I love you.

1009
00:55:49.880 --> 00:56:03.320
Jeffrey, Still numb with shock, you find your way down

1010
00:56:03.360 --> 00:56:06.639
to the king tut Room, the large storage room filled

1011
00:56:06.679 --> 00:56:08.840
with relics from the Valley of the Kings in Egypt.

1012
00:56:09.679 --> 00:56:11.960
Without even taking off your tie. You lie down on

1013
00:56:12.039 --> 00:56:15.480
the couch and drop into a deep sleep. You awake

1014
00:56:15.639 --> 00:56:17.880
much later, and when you look at your watch, you

1015
00:56:17.960 --> 00:56:21.000
see that it's Sunday morning, the morning of the day

1016
00:56:21.079 --> 00:56:24.920
you expect to be killed. Your thoughts fastened on the

1017
00:56:25.039 --> 00:56:28.360
tiny bit of halfe Bernice gave you yesterday, you quickly

1018
00:56:28.400 --> 00:56:29.239
reached for the phone.

1019
00:56:37.760 --> 00:56:39.920
Good morning, Messiah, partners.

1020
00:56:39.800 --> 00:56:46.400
Miss Grant, please thank you. Hello and Bernice, this is Jeffrey.

1021
00:56:47.360 --> 00:56:49.039
Have you found anything more about a Stell's brother?

1022
00:56:49.400 --> 00:56:53.199
Not yet, But Jeffrey, I've made progress. I definitely know

1023
00:56:53.360 --> 00:56:55.960
she had a brother. He's somewhere in San Francisco.

1024
00:56:56.079 --> 00:56:59.360
Today is the anniversary of was Tell's death. The days

1025
00:56:59.400 --> 00:57:03.679
couldn't happen. I can't just wait, got to wait.

1026
00:57:04.559 --> 00:57:07.360
You must be patient, Jeffrey. At any moment, I may

1027
00:57:07.480 --> 00:57:08.159
have some news.

1028
00:57:08.800 --> 00:57:10.400
What about the father in Sanda Peralta.

1029
00:57:10.719 --> 00:57:12.199
You must trust me, Jeffrey.

1030
00:57:13.079 --> 00:57:15.719
I know, But what did he say? What's the brother's name?

1031
00:57:15.840 --> 00:57:17.960
I don't know you if the father didn't he tell you.

1032
00:57:18.480 --> 00:57:20.880
I'm working as fast as I can, Jeffrey. You must

1033
00:57:20.920 --> 00:57:25.679
believe that I'll call you later this afternoon. Maybe I'll

1034
00:57:25.760 --> 00:57:27.000
have some very good news.

1035
00:57:28.079 --> 00:57:29.199
Just wait and be patient.

1036
00:57:29.280 --> 00:57:29.599
Will you.

1037
00:57:31.519 --> 00:57:32.400
Don't go out?

1038
00:57:33.719 --> 00:57:39.480
Oh all right, Bernice, Remember Jeffrey, I love you.

1039
00:57:40.960 --> 00:57:44.239
I will benife. I guess I should have known it

1040
00:57:44.760 --> 00:57:45.239
long ago.

1041
00:57:53.079 --> 00:57:56.519
She convinces you to wait, doesn't she. Jeffrey and you sit.

1042
00:57:56.440 --> 00:57:59.719
There quietly in the near darkness, trying to fight down

1043
00:57:59.760 --> 00:58:03.719
your desire to run away and leave town. You're debating

1044
00:58:03.800 --> 00:58:06.119
this when you hear footsteps from the direction of the

1045
00:58:06.159 --> 00:58:12.559
stairs outside. You're tense, nervously staring at the door. Someone

1046
00:58:12.679 --> 00:58:16.039
is coming, Jeffrey in this room, someone who moves quietly

1047
00:58:16.760 --> 00:58:17.400
and has a key.

1048
00:58:18.239 --> 00:58:20.000
You want to run, but the door is the only way.

1049
00:58:20.079 --> 00:58:26.079
And then, good morning, mister Longs.

1050
00:58:27.320 --> 00:58:28.239
What are you doing here?

1051
00:58:29.119 --> 00:58:29.280
Right?

1052
00:58:29.440 --> 00:58:29.840
Grady?

1053
00:58:29.960 --> 00:58:33.320
The regular caretaker is on his vacation, Sir, I.

1054
00:58:33.360 --> 00:58:34.679
Am relieving him this room.

1055
00:58:34.760 --> 00:58:36.360
But this is Sunday. You're not supposed to be here

1056
00:58:36.400 --> 00:58:37.039
on Sunday.

1057
00:58:37.440 --> 00:58:40.960
This grant instructed me that you were here, sir, doing

1058
00:58:41.039 --> 00:58:42.079
some special work.

1059
00:58:43.079 --> 00:58:47.039
She asked me to bring this breakfast tray.

1060
00:58:48.119 --> 00:58:51.360
Oh oh, yes, of course I didn't see it.

1061
00:58:52.800 --> 00:58:58.840
Sorry, it's all right, sir. Anything else, no.

1062
00:59:00.440 --> 00:59:02.400
No, nothing else. Thanks.

1063
00:59:08.360 --> 00:59:11.960
You watch him leave, stare at the food, suddenly realize

1064
00:59:11.960 --> 00:59:14.400
you're unable to eat editor even think of hunger.

1065
00:59:15.360 --> 00:59:17.440
Your nerves are getting the best of you, aren't they.

1066
00:59:17.519 --> 00:59:19.039
Jeffrey and You.

1067
00:59:19.119 --> 00:59:21.599
Decide to take a chance and drive to Santa Parralta

1068
00:59:21.679 --> 00:59:25.960
yourself at once talk to a still father. You're sure

1069
00:59:26.000 --> 00:59:28.800
you can make it and be back before Bernice calls you.

1070
00:59:34.239 --> 00:59:37.559
You're on the highway in five minutes, headed south. An

1071
00:59:37.599 --> 00:59:40.159
odd feeling tells you that a car somewhere behind you

1072
00:59:40.280 --> 00:59:43.360
has been making the very same turns, and that it

1073
00:59:43.480 --> 00:59:46.079
picked you up near the museum. You try to put

1074
00:59:46.119 --> 00:59:48.480
it out of your mind when no attempt is made

1075
00:59:48.480 --> 00:59:51.599
to catch up with you. Hours later, you pull up

1076
00:59:51.639 --> 00:59:54.960
before an ancient stucco building bearing the sign sands a

1077
00:59:55.039 --> 00:59:56.559
Perlta home for the agent.

1078
01:00:05.800 --> 01:00:09.199
Well you visiter so Worthy who welcome?

1079
01:00:09.760 --> 01:00:10.159
Welcome.

1080
01:00:10.760 --> 01:00:12.960
I'm looking for a man with the name of Blair.

1081
01:00:13.760 --> 01:00:16.159
I'm sorry, mister Long.

1082
01:00:16.480 --> 01:00:17.119
Jeffrey Long.

1083
01:00:17.519 --> 01:00:18.800
I'm sorry, mister Long.

1084
01:00:19.440 --> 01:00:20.559
No one here by that name.

1085
01:00:20.599 --> 01:00:23.400
Maybe he's here under another name. He he had a

1086
01:00:23.480 --> 01:00:24.480
daughter named the Stele.

1087
01:00:25.800 --> 01:00:28.719
No one here with a daughter named de Stell's.

1088
01:00:28.440 --> 01:00:31.920
The pretty girl Blonde. It's tragically killed about two years

1089
01:00:31.920 --> 01:00:35.519
ago at see the Mediterranean. She fell overboard.

1090
01:00:35.639 --> 01:00:36.760
Oh pity.

1091
01:00:37.960 --> 01:00:41.599
Yes, but I'm afraid you have the wrong place. We

1092
01:00:41.719 --> 01:00:44.639
have only ten gentlemen here, and I know their records

1093
01:00:44.760 --> 01:00:48.000
very well. We've never had your mister Blair here in

1094
01:00:48.440 --> 01:00:49.199
San Berralta.

1095
01:00:49.679 --> 01:00:52.000
You're sure, absolutely, mister Long.

1096
01:00:58.639 --> 01:01:02.440
Something has gone wrong, hasn't it different. Bernice told you

1097
01:01:02.639 --> 01:01:05.719
Estelle's father was in the old man's home at Santa Peralta,

1098
01:01:06.199 --> 01:01:09.760
but apparently she was lying. Suddenly you look around. You

1099
01:01:10.239 --> 01:01:13.239
find that you're driving through the Marina district, not far

1100
01:01:13.360 --> 01:01:15.519
from the little cottage Estelle used to share with her

1101
01:01:15.599 --> 01:01:18.840
mother in the days when Estelle was your assistant at

1102
01:01:18.880 --> 01:01:22.320
the museum. You turn left, then right, and you see

1103
01:01:22.360 --> 01:01:26.920
the house, hardly recognize it after all these years. You

1104
01:01:27.079 --> 01:01:29.559
stop and get out of the car and walk toward

1105
01:01:29.599 --> 01:01:32.079
a tall woman who was watering the lawn next door.

1106
01:01:32.920 --> 01:01:35.639
Hello, a lovely day, isn't it?

1107
01:01:36.079 --> 01:01:37.719
You like him? Hot? This is going to be a

1108
01:01:37.800 --> 01:01:43.480
scorcher you you live here long, nine to fifteen years.

1109
01:01:44.320 --> 01:01:45.880
Not a collector, aren't no?

1110
01:01:46.800 --> 01:01:50.679
I'm neither a bill collector nor a processor. An old

1111
01:01:50.719 --> 01:01:55.159
friend of mine used to live next door, Andrews. Maybe no, No,

1112
01:01:55.440 --> 01:01:58.280
the name was play Oh dam.

1113
01:01:58.960 --> 01:02:02.519
Mother, big arms like the poats on that porch.

1114
01:02:02.880 --> 01:02:03.679
It was the girl.

1115
01:02:03.800 --> 01:02:07.480
The Stelle was my friend, sweet little thing, blondest corn

1116
01:02:07.599 --> 01:02:11.239
celt She was killed, you know, fell off a boat

1117
01:02:11.320 --> 01:02:14.800
somewhere near Europe for rasure Somewhere's like that worked for

1118
01:02:14.880 --> 01:02:15.480
a museum.

1119
01:02:16.559 --> 01:02:19.239
I I've been trying to locate her brother.

1120
01:02:19.840 --> 01:02:23.440
Brother. Hmmm, I don't seem to remember any man in

1121
01:02:23.480 --> 01:02:24.360
the Blair family.

1122
01:02:24.880 --> 01:02:26.599
Seems like there was just a Stelle on their mother.

1123
01:02:26.920 --> 01:02:30.320
Oh I see, well, I got to be going.

1124
01:02:30.480 --> 01:02:32.440
There was a girl though, used to live with the Blairs,

1125
01:02:32.480 --> 01:02:33.880
a friend of the Stells.

1126
01:02:34.400 --> 01:02:38.480
Dark girls slim, about five to two, criminal thing, wore

1127
01:02:38.599 --> 01:02:39.199
hair and a bun.

1128
01:02:40.079 --> 01:02:41.679
You know, I used to say to my husband Mac,

1129
01:02:41.760 --> 01:02:43.760
that dark girl looks more like Missus Blair than the

1130
01:02:43.840 --> 01:02:44.440
Stelle does.

1131
01:02:44.639 --> 01:02:45.639
I got you their sisters.

1132
01:02:45.880 --> 01:02:49.559
I used to say to my husband's what the car

1133
01:02:50.159 --> 01:02:52.440
he went past? Now I was turning around on the street,

1134
01:02:53.800 --> 01:02:54.239
What is it?

1135
01:02:54.599 --> 01:02:55.440
What's the matter.

1136
01:03:02.760 --> 01:03:03.440
In your car?

1137
01:03:03.639 --> 01:03:04.400
Driving fast?

1138
01:03:04.480 --> 01:03:06.239
You begin to pull away from the car and back

1139
01:03:06.280 --> 01:03:10.320
of room, soon lose sight of it altogether, slowing down,

1140
01:03:10.440 --> 01:03:13.320
your mind stops racing tool and then it hits.

1141
01:03:13.159 --> 01:03:18.039
You, Jeffrey, something that woman back there said, dark girl, slim,

1142
01:03:18.119 --> 01:03:21.280
about five two, criminal thing, war hair in a bun.

1143
01:03:21.840 --> 01:03:24.039
And I used to say to my husband mag Mad,

1144
01:03:24.159 --> 01:03:26.760
dark girl looks more like Missus Flair than a Stelle does.

1145
01:03:27.000 --> 01:03:29.760
But you sisters, sisters.

1146
01:03:30.079 --> 01:03:34.679
Of course, yes, Jeffrey, that's it, an exact description of Bernice,

1147
01:03:34.719 --> 01:03:38.440
your own secretary. Suddenly it all becomes very clear to you,

1148
01:03:38.559 --> 01:03:41.519
doesn't it. You noticed it the first day she came

1149
01:03:41.599 --> 01:03:42.239
to work for you.

1150
01:03:42.679 --> 01:03:44.400
It was something familiar about her.

1151
01:03:45.119 --> 01:03:47.320
She reminded you of someone, but you were never able

1152
01:03:47.400 --> 01:03:49.000
to figure out who she resembled.

1153
01:03:49.239 --> 01:03:52.760
And now you know you've been a fool, haven't you, Jeffrey,

1154
01:03:53.079 --> 01:03:56.800
the way you've played into her hands. You're certain Bernice

1155
01:03:56.920 --> 01:03:59.719
is a Stelle sister, and all the while she's the

1156
01:03:59.760 --> 01:04:03.159
one has been sending the notes intending to avenge her

1157
01:04:03.280 --> 01:04:13.519
sister Estelle. Back at the museum, you see no sign

1158
01:04:13.599 --> 01:04:16.519
of the other car, but you're no longer worried about it,

1159
01:04:16.639 --> 01:04:19.960
are you, Jeffrey. You're certain now that Bernice is your

1160
01:04:20.079 --> 01:04:23.679
would be assassin. You hurry inside and wait for her call.

1161
01:04:24.679 --> 01:04:27.079
The hours dragged by, and.

1162
01:04:27.159 --> 01:04:32.400
Then Hello, Jeffrey Darling.

1163
01:04:32.880 --> 01:04:35.400
I'm calling from a payphone and a drugstore on Broadway.

1164
01:04:35.800 --> 01:04:37.800
Someone is watching me, so don't ask any questions.

1165
01:04:38.159 --> 01:04:38.880
Just do as I say.

1166
01:04:39.599 --> 01:04:42.800
All right, Berne, Jeffrey, I found a brother.

1167
01:04:43.639 --> 01:04:46.559
He's going to try to kill you tonight. But he

1168
01:04:46.599 --> 01:04:48.800
doesn't know where you are. But you be sure you

1169
01:04:49.000 --> 01:04:51.119
keep all the lights out there in the basement.

1170
01:04:51.679 --> 01:04:52.960
Oh yes, yes, of course.

1171
01:04:53.159 --> 01:04:53.920
Don't call anyone.

1172
01:04:54.480 --> 01:04:55.800
Don't tell anyone.

1173
01:04:55.519 --> 01:04:56.000
Where you are.

1174
01:04:56.199 --> 01:04:57.360
No, of course, not.

1175
01:04:58.880 --> 01:04:59.960
Meet you there in half an hour.

1176
01:05:01.079 --> 01:05:01.800
Don't call anyone.

1177
01:05:02.920 --> 01:05:06.960
Understand, Yes, yes, I understand.

1178
01:05:07.760 --> 01:05:09.880
Goodbye, Jeffrey Darling.

1179
01:05:12.440 --> 01:05:14.119
She is clever, isn't she, Jeffrey.

1180
01:05:15.159 --> 01:05:18.639
She's maneuvered you on the very anniversary of Estelle's dead

1181
01:05:19.320 --> 01:05:21.840
into the basement of the museum, where no one can

1182
01:05:21.920 --> 01:05:25.800
hear a sound through the thick walls. But it's over

1183
01:05:26.000 --> 01:05:28.440
for her, now, isn't it all over?

1184
01:05:38.760 --> 01:05:40.480
Burton Detective Agency, Burton speaking.

1185
01:05:40.559 --> 01:05:44.519
This is Jeffrey Long Burton. Oh, but now I know,

1186
01:05:45.360 --> 01:05:49.079
I know who's been sending me those notes. Yes, my secretary,

1187
01:05:49.119 --> 01:05:54.760
all Alonge, Bernice Grant. Yes, she's a Stelle's sister. Now

1188
01:05:54.840 --> 01:05:55.559
you've got to help me.

1189
01:05:56.159 --> 01:05:59.119
H look here, Long, I've told you where eyes. Then

1190
01:06:00.079 --> 01:06:02.519
before I do anything, I have to know.

1191
01:06:03.920 --> 01:06:07.119
Are you Are you prepared to go along with me

1192
01:06:08.360 --> 01:06:09.039
the whole way?

1193
01:06:09.639 --> 01:06:12.000
If I tell you what do you mean by that?

1194
01:06:12.800 --> 01:06:18.360
I mean even the doing away with someone? You mean, yes,

1195
01:06:19.760 --> 01:06:22.800
if it's necessary, anything for money?

1196
01:06:23.800 --> 01:06:25.480
You know that? All right?

1197
01:06:27.000 --> 01:06:30.320
Yes, I killed this Stile. I pushed her overboard, but

1198
01:06:30.400 --> 01:06:32.159
she had it coming. I'll tell you about it later.

1199
01:06:34.000 --> 01:06:36.239
Are you with me now?

1200
01:06:37.000 --> 01:06:38.159
Of course, I'll be right over.

1201
01:06:38.320 --> 01:06:41.199
You better bring along a man you can trust. Bernie

1202
01:06:41.400 --> 01:06:42.599
is coming here to the King tut Room in the

1203
01:06:42.639 --> 01:06:45.639
basement in half an hour. She'll probably have a gun.

1204
01:06:47.159 --> 01:06:48.159
Can I depend on you?

1205
01:06:48.639 --> 01:06:54.320
Don't worry about a thing. We'll meet you there, It.

1206
01:06:54.440 --> 01:06:56.840
Seems ages as you sit there in the dark waiting.

1207
01:06:57.679 --> 01:07:00.760
Then when the illuminated hands on your watch to eight thirty,

1208
01:07:01.480 --> 01:07:02.719
you hear Bernice coming.

1209
01:07:08.280 --> 01:07:11.039
Jeffrey, Jeffrey, what are you?

1210
01:07:12.239 --> 01:07:12.719
I'm here?

1211
01:07:13.079 --> 01:07:15.960
Oh, I've been so worried. Here, let's turn on the light.

1212
01:07:17.719 --> 01:07:20.360
Oh I'm so tired, darling, I've been so worried.

1213
01:07:20.760 --> 01:07:22.480
Isn't this carrying things a little too far?

1214
01:07:22.599 --> 01:07:22.960
Bernice?

1215
01:07:23.320 --> 01:07:24.239
Jeffrey, what do you mean?

1216
01:07:24.400 --> 01:07:25.559
How stupid do you think I am?

1217
01:07:25.719 --> 01:07:26.079
Jeffrey?

1218
01:07:26.159 --> 01:07:26.920
What's this all about?

1219
01:07:27.400 --> 01:07:31.159
Playing the game? Didn't you think I'd see through it all?

1220
01:07:32.199 --> 01:07:35.199
You know, Benee, I visited sant Brava, and as you know,

1221
01:07:35.480 --> 01:07:37.000
as Tell's father has never been.

1222
01:07:36.920 --> 01:07:39.280
There, I had to tell you something to keep it

1223
01:07:39.320 --> 01:07:43.320
from doing away with yourself. With all I could think of, Jeffrey,

1224
01:07:43.360 --> 01:07:46.559
I've been working every minute working for you. Yes, do

1225
01:07:46.679 --> 01:07:47.239
to trust me?

1226
01:07:47.440 --> 01:07:50.679
Trust you. You got me so worked up. I suspected

1227
01:07:50.719 --> 01:07:53.440
everybody I ran into, even thought it might be Corruther.

1228
01:07:53.440 --> 01:07:56.079
It's the caretaker. And in the car, I imagine someone

1229
01:07:56.199 --> 01:07:56.639
was following you.

1230
01:07:56.880 --> 01:07:59.320
Didn't imagine it you were being followed. What I was

1231
01:07:59.360 --> 01:08:02.199
afraid you might go? I called and the police begged

1232
01:08:02.239 --> 01:08:03.119
them to put a man on it.

1233
01:08:03.239 --> 01:08:06.440
Do you expect me to believe that? Can you give

1234
01:08:06.480 --> 01:08:10.679
me that perse? Jeffrey, you're carrying a gun.

1235
01:08:12.320 --> 01:08:17.000
Well, what, Jeffrey, it's for your protection. I was afraid

1236
01:08:17.680 --> 01:08:22.800
he might find you here. You are you goun at me?

1237
01:08:22.880 --> 01:08:23.239
Jeffrey.

1238
01:08:23.479 --> 01:08:27.039
You see, Benissa, I know all about you found out

1239
01:08:27.039 --> 01:08:28.560
from a woman next door to your old house in

1240
01:08:28.600 --> 01:08:31.319
the Marina district. I know you are the one who

1241
01:08:31.399 --> 01:08:33.720
wrote me those notes. I ste never had a brother.

1242
01:08:34.920 --> 01:08:38.720
I discovered something even more interesting. I've discovered that you Panice,

1243
01:08:38.760 --> 01:08:41.359
the sweet secretary who said she loved me. You are

1244
01:08:41.399 --> 01:08:43.479
the one who intends to kill me because you're a

1245
01:08:43.520 --> 01:08:47.760
Stelle sister. That's why I'm going to kill you.

1246
01:08:59.000 --> 01:09:01.920
There are two ways to buy new tires. One way

1247
01:09:02.039 --> 01:09:05.640
is to keep driving on smooth, unsafe treads until one

1248
01:09:05.760 --> 01:09:08.960
day you're sailing down the highway, probably miles from nowhere,

1249
01:09:09.600 --> 01:09:13.119
when all of a sudden, broom room roomp, you've got

1250
01:09:13.199 --> 01:09:16.479
a flat. Your old tire is probably ruined before you

1251
01:09:16.600 --> 01:09:19.439
can stop, so it's now worth nothing. All you can

1252
01:09:19.479 --> 01:09:21.279
do is take whatever make of tire the near a

1253
01:09:21.359 --> 01:09:25.720
station carries, at whatever price they're charging it must be

1254
01:09:25.760 --> 01:09:28.479
a better way to get new tires, and there is.

1255
01:09:29.279 --> 01:09:32.439
That way is to trade in those remaining unsafe miles

1256
01:09:32.479 --> 01:09:36.119
to your signal dealer now while he's giving today's biggest allowance.

1257
01:09:37.000 --> 01:09:39.399
What's more than new tires on which signal dealers are

1258
01:09:39.439 --> 01:09:43.319
giving this generous trade in allowance are first line Lee tires,

1259
01:09:43.720 --> 01:09:47.199
famous over forty seven years for long mile age, And

1260
01:09:47.319 --> 01:09:50.600
today's Lee's made of coal, rubber, tough, and still further

1261
01:09:50.680 --> 01:09:54.399
with patented fill black O's. Actually we'ar thirty to forty

1262
01:09:54.439 --> 01:09:57.680
percent longer than ever before. So from a dollars and

1263
01:09:57.760 --> 01:10:00.800
cents standpoint, you just can't afford to keep on driving

1264
01:10:00.880 --> 01:10:05.119
on treadbare old tires, not now, while signal service stations

1265
01:10:05.159 --> 01:10:08.600
will trade them for new Lee tires at such surprisingly

1266
01:10:08.760 --> 01:10:12.399
small cost. Stop in at your nearest signal dealers tomorrow,

1267
01:10:13.039 --> 01:10:16.000
get his generous trade in order, and you'll know what

1268
01:10:16.159 --> 01:10:16.560
I mean.

1269
01:10:27.199 --> 01:10:30.720
You watch Bernice standing against the wall weeping. Everything is

1270
01:10:30.800 --> 01:10:32.079
under control, now, isn't it.

1271
01:10:32.159 --> 01:10:32.520
Jeffard.

1272
01:10:33.399 --> 01:10:35.920
You are certain that you've outsmarted the girl you think

1273
01:10:36.039 --> 01:10:38.960
is a Stelle sister, the girl you think wanted to

1274
01:10:39.039 --> 01:10:42.600
kill you in vengeance for her sister's dead. Now There's

1275
01:10:42.640 --> 01:10:45.359
only one thing on your mind, to get out of

1276
01:10:45.439 --> 01:10:48.680
the museum with Bernice and do away with it. You're tense,

1277
01:10:49.439 --> 01:10:52.760
listening for the approaching footsteps, which you know will be buttons.

1278
01:10:54.479 --> 01:10:58.680
Thank Heaven, Jeffrey, he's coming to Detective. I've had following you.

1279
01:10:59.039 --> 01:11:02.239
I'm sorry wrong, that's someone I sent for.

1280
01:11:02.880 --> 01:11:04.680
But I've told you not to callin.

1281
01:11:04.920 --> 01:11:07.720
I know you did. You wanted me all to yourself,

1282
01:11:07.800 --> 01:11:08.159
didn't you.

1283
01:11:08.359 --> 01:11:09.399
You're out of your mind?

1284
01:11:12.079 --> 01:11:18.880
Yes, in here, Burton, Dick Burton, Yes, Shall I bring Bernice? No?

1285
01:11:19.600 --> 01:11:22.039
Leave herb a while? Am I not alone?

1286
01:11:22.319 --> 01:11:24.479
Don't go, Jeffrey, I found that for sure.

1287
01:11:25.119 --> 01:11:27.399
Use Bernice. I fell for your lives for a long time.

1288
01:11:27.479 --> 01:11:31.119
Wait, please, Jeffrey, uncle to please for be here soon.

1289
01:11:32.279 --> 01:11:34.239
Dick Burton is the South Brother.

1290
01:11:55.520 --> 01:11:58.840
Let that whistle be your signal for the Signal Oil program.

1291
01:11:58.960 --> 01:12:02.600
The Whistler each Sunday night at this same time, brought

1292
01:12:02.680 --> 01:12:05.199
to you by the Signal Oil Company, marketers of Signal

1293
01:12:05.239 --> 01:12:10.680
Gasoline and motor oil and fine quality automotive accessories. Remember, friends,

1294
01:12:10.760 --> 01:12:12.880
if you'd like the fun of having your friend's hero

1295
01:12:13.000 --> 01:12:15.720
Limerick of yours read on the whistler, the address to

1296
01:12:15.760 --> 01:12:19.439
which to send. It is Signal Oil Company, Los Angeles, California.

1297
01:12:19.960 --> 01:12:22.800
Your limerick must be your own composition. It would be

1298
01:12:22.880 --> 01:12:26.399
judged on the basis of originality, humor, and suitability, and

1299
01:12:26.520 --> 01:12:29.479
the decision of the judges is final. All entries become

1300
01:12:29.560 --> 01:12:40.239
the property of the Signal Oil Company. What featured into

1301
01:12:40.319 --> 01:12:43.880
Night's story were Willard Waterman, Virginia Gregg, and Wilms Herbert.

1302
01:12:44.760 --> 01:12:47.560
The Whistler was produced and directed by George W. Wallen,

1303
01:12:47.680 --> 01:12:51.319
with story by Harrison Negley, music by Wilbur Hatch, and

1304
01:12:51.520 --> 01:12:54.159
was transmitted to our troops overseas by the Armed Forces

1305
01:12:54.239 --> 01:12:58.399
Radio Service. The Whistler is entirely fictional, and all characters

1306
01:12:58.439 --> 01:13:02.199
portrayed on the Whistler are also fictional. Any similarity of

1307
01:13:02.359 --> 01:13:08.279
names or resemblance to persons living or dead is purely coincidental. Remember,

1308
01:13:08.479 --> 01:13:14.680
at the same time, next Sunday, another strange tale by

1309
01:13:15.039 --> 01:13:37.800
the Whistler Signal Gad, your announcer has been Marvin Miller.

1310
01:13:38.560 --> 01:13:41.960
This is CBS, the Columbia Broadcasting System.

1311
01:13:46.199 --> 01:13:49.640
Well, my dear, I know that that usually I have

1312
01:13:49.760 --> 01:13:54.600
a bit more of a positive attitude toward my fellow man,

1313
01:13:55.880 --> 01:14:01.159
even if I may not really be among them anymore. Well,

1314
01:14:01.920 --> 01:14:06.520
the fact is, you can't have one without the other.

1315
01:14:07.840 --> 01:14:13.039
You can't have kindness without cruelty. You can't have light

1316
01:14:14.119 --> 01:14:20.680
without darkness. So love and hate are intertwined. But now

1317
01:14:21.000 --> 01:14:24.119
let's look a little deeper and take a look at

1318
01:14:24.199 --> 01:14:27.560
the Man who Knew how to hate.

1319
01:14:29.720 --> 01:14:36.760
And now a tale well calculated to keep you in suspense.

1320
01:14:38.000 --> 01:14:40.520
Standing alongside the five year old station wagon, was a woman,

1321
01:14:41.640 --> 01:14:45.359
a woman, the woman.

1322
01:14:46.039 --> 01:14:48.840
But the woman wasn't his woman.

1323
01:14:50.159 --> 01:14:53.279
In just a moment, The Man who Knew how to Hate,

1324
01:14:54.039 --> 01:14:58.079
starring Joan Loring and Leon Jenny, and written especially for

1325
01:14:58.279 --> 01:14:59.960
suspense by Walter.

1326
01:15:02.199 --> 01:15:06.760
The lovely crowds to they are greens. Those who think young,

1327
01:15:06.960 --> 01:15:07.800
say pepsi.

1328
01:15:08.119 --> 01:15:08.520
Please.

1329
01:15:09.000 --> 01:15:12.680
They picked the right one, the modern like one. Now

1330
01:15:12.760 --> 01:15:17.079
it's pepsi for those who think young, So go ahead

1331
01:15:17.800 --> 01:15:21.520
and pick the drink that lets you drink young as

1332
01:15:21.600 --> 01:15:22.039
you think.

1333
01:15:22.880 --> 01:15:25.880
Yes, get the right one, the modern like one.

1334
01:15:26.439 --> 01:15:30.039
Now it's pepsi for those who think young.

1335
01:15:36.520 --> 01:15:40.680
Well, let's see where the Yankees lost again. The Yankees

1336
01:15:40.720 --> 01:15:43.359
they lost again. That's three in a row. Oh, now

1337
01:15:43.399 --> 01:15:45.439
you take the Tigers for a change. They got a

1338
01:15:45.520 --> 01:15:46.880
well rounded wall plug.

1339
01:15:51.479 --> 01:15:56.720
Tigers yoke is a stupid slub baseball is probably his

1340
01:15:56.840 --> 01:15:58.560
whole life, and what's mine?

1341
01:16:00.720 --> 01:16:03.680
Oh why not? It's a good, honest emotion. You can

1342
01:16:03.760 --> 01:16:05.880
feed on it and live on it, and you never

1343
01:16:05.920 --> 01:16:10.680
get enough better than love. It dries up, So DOA's lust.

1344
01:16:12.079 --> 01:16:15.840
Lust on a rhyme with grace and hate on a

1345
01:16:15.960 --> 01:16:21.159
rhyme with Albert miserable, Penny pitching mousey. Albert.

1346
01:16:22.279 --> 01:16:24.840
First time I saw him, we were on the five

1347
01:16:25.000 --> 01:16:25.920
h ninth high log.

1348
01:16:26.319 --> 01:16:28.079
I was sitting next to him, and he was marking

1349
01:16:28.159 --> 01:16:30.720
down things in a little ten cents story.

1350
01:16:30.560 --> 01:16:30.640
So.

1351
01:16:34.880 --> 01:16:38.840
Totally up your racetrack winnings. Oh oh you mean this?

1352
01:16:39.119 --> 01:16:41.920
Oh no, no, no, I was just mounting down my

1353
01:16:42.039 --> 01:16:44.039
daily expenses that way I keep track.

1354
01:16:44.239 --> 01:16:45.920
See sounds like fun.

1355
01:16:46.239 --> 01:16:48.800
Oh you'd be surprised how one's expenses can mount up

1356
01:16:48.840 --> 01:16:52.199
if they're not constantly with Jay lunch, for instance. Unless

1357
01:16:52.279 --> 01:16:54.399
I keep it down at ninety or ninety five cents,

1358
01:16:54.479 --> 01:16:57.119
my daily expenses can go over three or three and

1359
01:16:57.199 --> 01:16:59.920
a half dollars that much, so easily.

1360
01:17:00.119 --> 01:17:04.960
Years. I'm Albert Lardy Friendly.

1361
01:17:06.319 --> 01:17:11.920
I saw very well, well that's my station. Excuse me, mister.

1362
01:17:11.760 --> 01:17:13.399
Friendly, Relax, it's mine too.

1363
01:17:13.920 --> 01:17:18.079
Oh I didn't realize we were neighbors, so to speak.

1364
01:17:21.880 --> 01:17:23.520
What a creep.

1365
01:17:24.600 --> 01:17:26.560
I made a mental note to avoid him in the future,

1366
01:17:26.680 --> 01:17:29.600
but I tore it up when I saw who was

1367
01:17:29.720 --> 01:17:32.600
waiting for him. He made a b line for a

1368
01:17:32.640 --> 01:17:35.359
five year old station wagon. Standing alongside it was a woman.

1369
01:17:36.640 --> 01:17:41.680
A woman. The woman red hair.

1370
01:17:41.680 --> 01:17:46.600
And sexy figure and everything else any man would ever want.

1371
01:17:48.039 --> 01:17:50.079
It was eyes right for every commuter passing by.

1372
01:17:50.159 --> 01:17:54.920
I stood there, her eyes slid over me, stopped, slipped back.

1373
01:17:56.800 --> 01:18:01.359
My mouth felt dry. I knew the symptoms. Oh brother,

1374
01:18:01.479 --> 01:18:06.359
did I know the symptoms? I had to meet her toucher.

1375
01:18:07.520 --> 01:18:10.159
Oh, mister friendly, I'd like you to meet my wife, Grace.

1376
01:18:10.560 --> 01:18:13.760
His wife had to be a joke, a woman like that.

1377
01:18:14.800 --> 01:18:15.760
I walked over to the car.

1378
01:18:15.920 --> 01:18:20.239
We shook hands and I felt the contact so that.

1379
01:18:20.319 --> 01:18:21.239
She could tell.

1380
01:18:22.880 --> 01:18:25.159
I'm very glad to meet you. Mister.

1381
01:18:26.039 --> 01:18:31.600
The name's Peter, Peter, Mine's Grace.

1382
01:18:32.800 --> 01:18:34.119
Can we give you a lift?

1383
01:18:35.479 --> 01:18:35.520
No?

1384
01:18:35.880 --> 01:18:38.680
No thanks. My my car is up in the lot.

1385
01:18:39.720 --> 01:18:41.560
Your wife doesn't use it during the day.

1386
01:18:42.359 --> 01:18:45.439
My ex wife can't afford a car on the alum only.

1387
01:18:45.399 --> 01:18:49.520
She's into me for Oh, I'm sorry.

1388
01:18:50.039 --> 01:18:50.079
No.

1389
01:18:51.039 --> 01:18:52.079
We hated each other.

1390
01:18:55.640 --> 01:18:58.039
An all the time, I was wondering what she was

1391
01:18:58.159 --> 01:19:01.600
doing with that little creep. How could she even talk

1392
01:19:01.640 --> 01:19:03.880
to him for five minutes when I'm dying of boredom.

1393
01:19:05.439 --> 01:19:06.920
I had to get to her.

1394
01:19:08.239 --> 01:19:11.079
The easiest way was by being friendly with Albert.

1395
01:19:12.199 --> 01:19:13.600
Two days later, in the drug store.

1396
01:19:13.439 --> 01:19:15.399
I gaged down a part of a glue sandwich that

1397
01:19:15.520 --> 01:19:18.119
was advertised as eche salad and watched him munch away

1398
01:19:18.159 --> 01:19:20.760
on lettuce and cottage cheese, just like a five for

1399
01:19:21.119 --> 01:19:22.319
six inch rabbit.

1400
01:19:22.960 --> 01:19:24.920
Munch much much?

1401
01:19:28.880 --> 01:19:31.920
Something wrong with your sandwich, Peter, I'm not hungry.

1402
01:19:32.640 --> 01:19:33.319
Well, this place is.

1403
01:19:33.359 --> 01:19:36.479
Quite a fine, you know, seventy cents for the salad blade.

1404
01:19:37.840 --> 01:19:39.399
Your wife for a good cook?

1405
01:19:40.079 --> 01:19:43.239
Oh well, frankly, I drew most of my own cooking.

1406
01:19:43.840 --> 01:19:44.079
Yeah.

1407
01:19:44.760 --> 01:19:46.960
You see, I'm a diabetic and a lot of things

1408
01:19:47.000 --> 01:19:50.359
are forbidden to me. I can't eat just anything.

1409
01:19:51.039 --> 01:19:52.600
Sorry to hear that. Oh, don't be.

1410
01:19:52.720 --> 01:19:54.960
As long as I take my insulin, I'm fine. But

1411
01:19:55.119 --> 01:19:57.960
it does limit the men use at home. So Grace

1412
01:19:58.119 --> 01:20:00.239
usually fixes something for herself, and I do the same

1413
01:20:00.279 --> 01:20:06.439
for myself. She's the intellectual type, you know. He paints,

1414
01:20:07.119 --> 01:20:11.560
takes evening glasses at the library. She's very interested in Art,

1415
01:20:12.399 --> 01:20:13.439
I'll bet.

1416
01:20:14.279 --> 01:20:19.399
Especially if Art is a man. What was I feeling

1417
01:20:19.479 --> 01:20:21.840
so superior about this creep lived with her?

1418
01:20:21.960 --> 01:20:22.520
I didn't.

1419
01:20:23.640 --> 01:20:25.520
A week later, I took him out to a local inn.

1420
01:20:25.640 --> 01:20:30.319
Albert had vegetable juice. Grace and I had four martinis

1421
01:20:30.359 --> 01:20:34.359
a piece and played Nasis under the table. My chance

1422
01:20:34.399 --> 01:20:36.840
came after dinner, when Albert went to bring the car around.

1423
01:20:39.119 --> 01:20:43.239
I've got to see you, Grace. Yes, I know, I've

1424
01:20:43.279 --> 01:20:49.520
got crazy thinking about you. When tomorrow noon at my place.

1425
01:20:50.479 --> 01:20:51.640
Let's stay home from work.

1426
01:20:53.239 --> 01:20:54.520
Noon tomorrow, dying.

1427
01:21:00.720 --> 01:21:03.760
Sun my place. It took the hands on my nine

1428
01:21:03.800 --> 01:21:06.319
o'clock an hour. It traveled from eleven fifty five to

1429
01:21:06.439 --> 01:21:09.960
twelve up to then. Waiting and anticipating was almost fun.

1430
01:21:11.079 --> 01:21:14.199
I'm twelve, I'll know what it was. Murdered twelve oh five,

1431
01:21:15.119 --> 01:21:20.159
twelve oh seven. Something had happened twelve twelve. She wasn't

1432
01:21:20.199 --> 01:21:20.880
going to show.

1433
01:21:21.760 --> 01:21:24.520
The creep stayed home. Maybe maybe she hadn't met it

1434
01:21:24.640 --> 01:21:27.279
last night, maybe she'd forgotten, Maybe she had another sucker

1435
01:21:27.359 --> 01:21:27.920
on the string.

1436
01:21:28.439 --> 01:21:45.119
Maybe hello, Hello, I knew what the first one would

1437
01:21:45.159 --> 01:21:45.560
feel like.

1438
01:21:46.880 --> 01:21:55.199
I just imagined. Well, truth is greater than the fiction.

1439
01:22:00.640 --> 01:22:13.039
Mm hmmm, kay mm hmm.

1440
01:22:16.319 --> 01:22:22.479
Yeah, uh got it. Uh it's the French for thirty five.

1441
01:22:24.439 --> 01:22:30.119
I'd better be going mm hmmm. Why have you forgotten Albert?

1442
01:22:30.960 --> 01:22:31.239
Mmm?

1443
01:22:31.319 --> 01:22:32.239
For four hours?

1444
01:22:32.399 --> 01:22:40.800
Yeah, well, I've got to get home and change, run

1445
01:22:40.840 --> 01:22:44.239
a couple of errands before I pick him up. When

1446
01:22:44.279 --> 01:22:45.079
do I see you again?

1447
01:22:46.960 --> 01:22:51.119
Not this week? Listen, if you think I'm going to

1448
01:22:51.199 --> 01:22:52.960
be satisfied, I would be mad, Darling.

1449
01:22:53.039 --> 01:22:56.399
I'm married, and remember, so get I'm married.

1450
01:22:57.520 --> 01:23:01.319
Your divorce that's bothering you? H Are you laughing at

1451
01:23:01.399 --> 01:23:02.279
I say something funny?

1452
01:23:02.720 --> 01:23:05.680
No, just terribly sweet.

1453
01:23:07.239 --> 01:23:10.279
You are quite a guy, Darling, and you are all

1454
01:23:10.439 --> 01:23:12.079
the woman I who wanted him.

1455
01:23:14.279 --> 01:23:19.039
There's something you don't understand, though, I can't leave Albert.

1456
01:23:19.720 --> 01:23:23.520
Why he's short and baald On one hundred years older

1457
01:23:23.680 --> 01:23:26.520
than you, and the way he pinches every penny until

1458
01:23:26.520 --> 01:23:28.760
it turns green. You certainly aren't sticking with him for his.

1459
01:23:28.880 --> 01:23:29.760
Money, aren't I?

1460
01:23:29.960 --> 01:23:35.800
Darling Peter. Every week for twenty one years, Albert has

1461
01:23:35.880 --> 01:23:39.159
taken exactly ten percent of his salary check, right down

1462
01:23:39.239 --> 01:23:42.760
to the exact penny, and invested it in the stock market.

1463
01:23:43.479 --> 01:23:44.039
Good kidding.

1464
01:23:44.319 --> 01:23:48.680
Sometimes he buys, sometimes he sells, but always he reinvests

1465
01:23:49.760 --> 01:23:53.439
good times bad times. Every week without fail, ten percent

1466
01:23:53.479 --> 01:23:56.960
of his paycheck has gone right into the kitty. He

1467
01:23:57.039 --> 01:23:59.399
doesn't believe in banks. You see our life insurance for

1468
01:23:59.479 --> 01:24:03.079
saving money. He even kept it a secret from me

1469
01:24:03.199 --> 01:24:04.399
until about two years ago.

1470
01:24:06.560 --> 01:24:07.840
How much as he saw a way.

1471
01:24:09.840 --> 01:24:14.119
One hundred and thirty three thousand.

1472
01:24:14.079 --> 01:24:18.079
Dollars one hundred grand.

1473
01:24:18.640 --> 01:24:20.960
One hundred and thirty three grand.

1474
01:24:22.359 --> 01:24:27.079
And that was back in March. So you see why

1475
01:24:27.159 --> 01:24:32.399
I'm so upset. You've turned my safe little world upside down.

1476
01:24:37.640 --> 01:24:43.279
There is another way. What do you mean, baby, I

1477
01:24:43.439 --> 01:24:47.439
mean there is another way to be free of Albert

1478
01:24:49.119 --> 01:24:50.079
and keep the money.

1479
01:24:53.119 --> 01:24:55.319
You mean what I think you mean?

1480
01:24:56.520 --> 01:24:58.279
Who do you think I mean, darling?

1481
01:25:01.720 --> 01:25:01.880
Oh?

1482
01:25:02.159 --> 01:25:06.479
No, accidents happen every day.

1483
01:25:09.239 --> 01:25:11.319
I don't say an accident.

1484
01:25:12.399 --> 01:25:12.800
Of course.

1485
01:25:13.800 --> 01:25:15.279
All we have to do is figure out what kind

1486
01:25:15.319 --> 01:25:16.920
of an accidents need to happen to Albert.

1487
01:25:21.960 --> 01:25:26.720
Sure, I went for it. I have to have her,

1488
01:25:26.960 --> 01:25:29.079
and the only only made it more urgent.

1489
01:25:30.000 --> 01:25:31.039
So don't go maral on me.

1490
01:25:32.880 --> 01:25:36.520
A week went by the longest I ever suffered through,

1491
01:25:36.600 --> 01:25:39.399
and then she called. We made a date in Midtown,

1492
01:25:39.479 --> 01:25:41.600
New York at a French restaurant where they never heard

1493
01:25:41.680 --> 01:25:44.960
of cottage cheese or eggs, salad sandwiches.

1494
01:25:46.600 --> 01:25:48.079
You're staring at me, Peter.

1495
01:25:48.920 --> 01:25:52.319
Do you realize how long it's been.

1496
01:25:54.079 --> 01:25:56.000
Eight days less thirty minutes.

1497
01:25:57.199 --> 01:25:58.279
Oh, maybe you can stand.

1498
01:25:59.039 --> 01:26:01.479
You will have to, Darling, from now on, we're just

1499
01:26:01.680 --> 01:26:02.800
casual acquaintances.

1500
01:26:03.560 --> 01:26:05.159
You're crazy, No.

1501
01:26:05.359 --> 01:26:10.239
You are if you think I'm going to jeopardize our chances, Oh, Darling,

1502
01:26:10.479 --> 01:26:16.840
don't pouch. After the funeral, I'll move away to Florida, California,

1503
01:26:18.359 --> 01:26:19.960
and in a couple of weeks you can join me.

1504
01:26:20.560 --> 01:26:22.000
You talk as if you were already dead.

1505
01:26:22.680 --> 01:26:26.239
Why not after tomorrow morning? He will be.

1506
01:26:27.960 --> 01:26:31.159
Tomorrow. We haven't made any plans.

1507
01:26:32.640 --> 01:26:36.399
We're not going to the best. Murders are the simplest kind.

1508
01:26:37.439 --> 01:26:40.399
Most people make their biggest mistake in doing too much planning,

1509
01:26:40.640 --> 01:26:41.840
leaving too many loose ends.

1510
01:26:41.880 --> 01:26:44.520
You know, No, I don't. I'm of the real estate firm,

1511
01:26:44.640 --> 01:26:45.439
not with the mafia.

1512
01:26:45.680 --> 01:26:47.000
Temper temper.

1513
01:26:48.960 --> 01:26:49.920
Anyway, it's tomorrow.

1514
01:26:52.000 --> 01:26:52.279
Hmm.

1515
01:26:53.640 --> 01:26:59.119
This cocova is delicious, and I thought I was cold blooded, Darling,

1516
01:26:59.199 --> 01:27:03.800
I'm just really stick like most women. Of course, if

1517
01:27:03.840 --> 01:27:04.640
you want to back.

1518
01:27:04.840 --> 01:27:08.000
Listen, I hate that little creek. I'm not backing out.

1519
01:27:09.319 --> 01:27:11.199
But how subway.

1520
01:27:12.359 --> 01:27:14.119
You both take it every morning from the station.

1521
01:27:14.319 --> 01:27:15.760
Yeah, when I go up town and he goes down.

1522
01:27:15.920 --> 01:27:21.640
Tomorrow you both go downtown. Make up a reason and

1523
01:27:21.840 --> 01:27:25.079
be sure you're on the platform with Albert. Better sit

1524
01:27:25.159 --> 01:27:26.239
with him on the train going in.

1525
01:27:26.680 --> 01:27:27.000
Then what.

1526
01:27:28.840 --> 01:27:33.199
Do I have to draw you a diagram? The subways

1527
01:27:33.239 --> 01:27:36.199
are jammed at Russia, or aren't they. It's a wonder

1528
01:27:36.239 --> 01:27:38.520
the more people aren't shoved over the edge of the platform.

1529
01:27:39.880 --> 01:27:43.399
But listen, whatever you do, don't be obvious. Pretend to

1530
01:27:43.439 --> 01:27:44.439
buy a paper and leave.

1531
01:27:52.319 --> 01:27:55.159
I don't think it's quite as crowded this morning as usual.

1532
01:27:55.840 --> 01:27:58.880
I'm gonna get more. Jam I can't even raise my

1533
01:27:58.960 --> 01:28:00.000
hand and stretch my nose.

1534
01:28:00.000 --> 01:28:01.560
Oh, you should.

1535
01:28:01.319 --> 01:28:04.159
Cultivate the attitude of always looking on the bright side day.

1536
01:28:04.479 --> 01:28:06.880
You'd be surprised at the difference it can make.

1537
01:28:06.920 --> 01:28:09.840
And you're daily living Nichols and dimes do at u

1538
01:28:10.439 --> 01:28:10.920
in a way?

1539
01:28:11.199 --> 01:28:14.199
Yes, yes, my sainted mother used to say, a penny

1540
01:28:14.279 --> 01:28:18.399
saved is a penny earned. That's what your mother said, Oh, yes,

1541
01:28:18.520 --> 01:28:22.920
many times. Of course it wasn't original, And oh wasn't

1542
01:28:22.960 --> 01:28:25.960
it No, if I remember correctly, it was Benjamin Pratt. Uh.

1543
01:28:26.840 --> 01:28:28.840
No, the holds of forlide. Albert, I forgot to get

1544
01:28:28.880 --> 01:28:34.199
a paper. He excuse me, please coming through. I have

1545
01:28:34.359 --> 01:28:36.279
four or five rows of people get between me and

1546
01:28:36.399 --> 01:28:39.000
the creep. And then I stopped and looked back. He

1547
01:28:39.199 --> 01:28:41.319
was right at the edge of the platform, reading his paper,

1548
01:28:41.479 --> 01:28:44.399
these stock market quotations, No doubt. It wasn't paying an

1549
01:28:44.399 --> 01:28:47.560
attention to anyone around him. I started inching my way back.

1550
01:28:48.079 --> 01:28:49.560
Grace was right, it was going to be a let

1551
01:28:49.680 --> 01:28:52.760
pipe cinch. I was maybe four feet behind him when

1552
01:28:52.760 --> 01:28:54.439
I heard the train barreling down the tunnel.

1553
01:28:54.880 --> 01:28:56.399
It was forward like everybody else.

1554
01:28:56.840 --> 01:28:58.279
There were the trains, heavy lights.

1555
01:28:58.920 --> 01:29:17.439
It was hi, the simplest thing in the world.

1556
01:29:17.560 --> 01:29:17.840
And you.

1557
01:29:18.159 --> 01:29:20.600
But I did everything just the way I was supposed to.

1558
01:29:20.680 --> 01:29:22.560
It's not my fault to train stopped in time.

1559
01:29:22.680 --> 01:29:24.920
Yes, it was pushed him too soon.

1560
01:29:24.880 --> 01:29:29.399
All right, all right, Just lucky Albert, so unsuspecting what

1561
01:29:29.520 --> 01:29:29.960
he's saying.

1562
01:29:30.479 --> 01:29:31.359
Just how glad he was.

1563
01:29:31.439 --> 01:29:33.600
You were there to keep him company until he calmed down.

1564
01:29:35.119 --> 01:29:37.119
Actually he blamed himself for standing too close to the

1565
01:29:37.239 --> 01:29:37.960
edge of the platform.

1566
01:29:40.479 --> 01:29:43.359
Oh no, what, and don't say we try that again.

1567
01:29:43.439 --> 01:29:44.720
Shut up and let me think.

1568
01:29:48.359 --> 01:29:49.000
You got an idea.

1569
01:29:51.119 --> 01:29:51.920
I just might have.

1570
01:29:52.720 --> 01:29:54.079
So what is it this time? Push him in front

1571
01:29:54.079 --> 01:29:56.439
of the fifth Avenue bus. How about noontime on forty

1572
01:29:56.439 --> 01:29:59.720
second Street, or better yet, how's this? I get Albert

1573
01:29:59.720 --> 01:30:01.760
down to the aquarium, and when nobody's looking, I pick

1574
01:30:01.840 --> 01:30:03.720
him up and throw him into the shark tank and

1575
01:30:03.840 --> 01:30:06.640
he looks enough like a shark and selvera that pointed those.

1576
01:30:06.800 --> 01:30:08.359
Of course, he might last for a day or two,

1577
01:30:08.399 --> 01:30:09.279
but eventually the sharks.

1578
01:30:09.279 --> 01:30:12.239
Wait a minute, Why didn't I think of that right away?

1579
01:30:13.520 --> 01:30:16.319
It's been there all along, staring me in the face.

1580
01:30:16.880 --> 01:30:19.319
The sharks shut up and let me think a minute.

1581
01:30:20.640 --> 01:30:22.000
You really have him up with an idea.

1582
01:30:23.079 --> 01:30:24.039
You're darn right.

1583
01:30:24.159 --> 01:30:24.439
I have.

1584
01:30:26.319 --> 01:30:31.960
Fool proof too, die what never mind? Unless you know,

1585
01:30:32.039 --> 01:30:35.239
the better off we are, and this time.

1586
01:30:35.359 --> 01:30:35.920
I'll do it.

1587
01:30:43.520 --> 01:30:45.880
Oh, by the way, grace here, I spoke to mister

1588
01:30:45.960 --> 01:30:46.760
Thatcher today.

1589
01:30:47.439 --> 01:30:49.479
I is old Fatsos.

1590
01:30:49.560 --> 01:30:51.359
As a matter of fact, he did speak of going

1591
01:30:51.439 --> 01:30:54.399
on a diet, believe for him. But we were talking

1592
01:30:54.439 --> 01:30:57.159
about my vacation. I get three weeks this year, you know,

1593
01:30:57.439 --> 01:30:59.800
so I asked him for the first three weeks and

1594
01:30:59.840 --> 01:31:02.520
all August. That's satisfactory with you, isn't it?

1595
01:31:02.560 --> 01:31:02.880
My dear.

1596
01:31:03.079 --> 01:31:08.319
Why not, Oh, ten o'clock, I'm for your insulin, Albert.

1597
01:31:08.680 --> 01:31:09.199
Oh, so it is?

1598
01:31:09.279 --> 01:31:09.640
So it is?

1599
01:31:11.039 --> 01:31:13.960
Or could I impose on you, my dear, I'm rather.

1600
01:31:14.000 --> 01:31:18.359
Tired, of course, you just sit and relaxed.

1601
01:31:17.920 --> 01:31:21.279
Thank you, dear. Oh, by the way, shall we go

1602
01:31:21.399 --> 01:31:24.279
to that same hotel again? It was most RESTful.

1603
01:31:24.760 --> 01:31:27.079
Doesn't matter anything you say.

1604
01:31:27.640 --> 01:31:31.000
Although we might try the seashore as a change, even

1605
01:31:31.039 --> 01:31:33.560
if I do sunburn too easily your.

1606
01:31:33.520 --> 01:31:35.840
Vacation, Albert, you've make the decision.

1607
01:31:36.960 --> 01:31:37.119
Here.

1608
01:31:38.119 --> 01:31:40.920
Oh you fill the hypodermic. I see that's very thoughtful

1609
01:31:40.960 --> 01:31:41.199
of you.

1610
01:31:44.600 --> 01:31:45.319
Ere you are?

1611
01:31:47.359 --> 01:31:48.520
Did you inject it all?

1612
01:31:49.800 --> 01:31:51.000
Every last drop?

1613
01:31:51.119 --> 01:32:01.840
My dear, I was just thinking, thinking of something amusing.

1614
01:32:03.720 --> 01:32:13.600
Odd coincidenceicide? What was in the hypodermic?

1615
01:32:13.680 --> 01:32:13.960
Grace?

1616
01:32:14.920 --> 01:32:16.720
A Seyline solution? I should imagine?

1617
01:32:16.920 --> 01:32:20.079
What are you talking about?

1618
01:32:20.239 --> 01:32:24.079
Oh, come, come, no more games? It was a Seyline solution.

1619
01:32:24.239 --> 01:32:28.920
I'm sure water alone isn't efficient enough. I should go

1620
01:32:29.039 --> 01:32:32.319
into a coma within the hour. If you're wondering, Albert,

1621
01:32:32.359 --> 01:32:38.000
I don't know what you're doing. Dead sometime before oh say,

1622
01:32:38.199 --> 01:32:39.079
six in the morning.

1623
01:32:39.640 --> 01:32:40.920
Why are you talking this way?

1624
01:32:41.000 --> 01:32:42.319
I don't know what do you think I've done.

1625
01:32:42.359 --> 01:32:46.800
Don't The police will tomorrow when they play the tapes.

1626
01:32:46.840 --> 01:32:47.560
I've sent them.

1627
01:32:49.000 --> 01:32:52.720
Tapes, Albert, what are you talking about?

1628
01:32:53.720 --> 01:32:59.560
Briefly, and to the point, you and mister Friendly white Mouse.

1629
01:32:59.680 --> 01:33:04.000
I'm maybe and to some even a creep, but no

1630
01:33:04.119 --> 01:33:07.359
one has ever accused me of being deaf, down and blind.

1631
01:33:07.800 --> 01:33:11.399
But I know you, Grace. I can read you like

1632
01:33:11.520 --> 01:33:14.920
a book, a nasty, dirty book.

1633
01:33:15.199 --> 01:33:15.560
Albert.

1634
01:33:15.800 --> 01:33:17.199
I know why you've stayed with me.

1635
01:33:17.359 --> 01:33:18.600
I know what you think of me.

1636
01:33:19.800 --> 01:33:22.920
Ah, isn't it that you've never known what I think

1637
01:33:23.000 --> 01:33:23.199
of you?

1638
01:33:23.840 --> 01:33:24.199
Albert?

1639
01:33:24.239 --> 01:33:28.720
I thought it would bear me. I've loathed you for

1640
01:33:28.880 --> 01:33:33.199
a long time. I have loathed you for your mean

1641
01:33:33.319 --> 01:33:38.560
little soul and your petty mind, and you, yes, for

1642
01:33:38.680 --> 01:33:43.880
your beauty, which was never mind. And I think I've

1643
01:33:43.960 --> 01:33:45.880
loathed you most of all because.

1644
01:33:47.720 --> 01:33:49.199
I still loved you.

1645
01:33:51.760 --> 01:33:52.079
Albert.

1646
01:33:52.319 --> 01:33:54.960
Have had private detectives working for me since the day

1647
01:33:55.000 --> 01:33:58.359
you first set eyes on mister Friendly. You were the

1648
01:33:58.439 --> 01:34:00.840
ones who have what's the expression?

1649
01:34:02.239 --> 01:34:03.399
Bogged his apartment?

1650
01:34:04.520 --> 01:34:08.319
Very interesting listening, Grace. Of course, I must admit the

1651
01:34:08.439 --> 01:34:14.279
subway was a surprise and so messy too. I knew

1652
01:34:14.319 --> 01:34:21.680
you'd revert to this. Oh yeah, you're even attractive when

1653
01:34:21.720 --> 01:34:30.319
you cry. Oh one more surprise, my good wife. Had

1654
01:34:30.359 --> 01:34:33.319
you possessed the patience to wait another six months at

1655
01:34:33.359 --> 01:34:37.560
the most a year, all that money would have been

1656
01:34:37.720 --> 01:34:46.960
yours legally. What my last little secret? You thought I'd

1657
01:34:46.960 --> 01:34:50.800
been going to the doctor only for diabetes, Alas, no

1658
01:34:52.640 --> 01:34:59.560
cancer dread word, isn't it We discovered it two years ago?

1659
01:35:00.439 --> 01:35:03.520
Oh no, I haven't suffered any pain yet. I'm told

1660
01:35:03.600 --> 01:35:07.720
that comes only in the final stages. Oh that's what

1661
01:35:07.840 --> 01:35:12.960
I couldn't face. Oh no, thank you very much for

1662
01:35:13.079 --> 01:35:13.760
your assistance.

1663
01:35:14.119 --> 01:35:14.520
Albert.

1664
01:35:14.640 --> 01:35:16.600
Couldn't we just once more turn him.

1665
01:35:16.520 --> 01:35:17.199
That we couldn't?

1666
01:35:20.479 --> 01:35:26.119
Now, would you leave me alone? The condemned man is

1667
01:35:26.159 --> 01:35:29.920
supposed to get his last wish, and mine is really

1668
01:35:30.479 --> 01:35:35.520
quite simple. I don't want to look at you again.

1669
01:35:37.319 --> 01:35:44.119
Never how he.

1670
01:35:44.319 --> 01:35:46.760
Fooled us both who would have dreamed it have? In

1671
01:35:46.920 --> 01:35:51.079
the miserable little creep. Well, let me think the last chapter.

1672
01:35:50.920 --> 01:35:54.720
Is over awesing austining the next station.

1673
01:35:56.039 --> 01:35:58.079
Okay, buddy, on you you don't have to make with

1674
01:35:58.159 --> 01:36:00.960
the muscle. Now, you'd be a good boy and I'll

1675
01:36:01.000 --> 01:36:03.840
take the cups off. That's cool.

1676
01:36:04.279 --> 01:36:06.720
So that's how it ends for me in a cell

1677
01:36:06.840 --> 01:36:11.359
and sings that like mouse, Elberg must be laughing his

1678
01:36:11.439 --> 01:36:12.479
head off wherever he is.

1679
01:36:13.399 --> 01:36:14.960
And I thought I knew.

1680
01:36:14.760 --> 01:36:23.520
How to hate suspense.

1681
01:36:27.399 --> 01:36:29.840
You've been listening to the man who knew how to hate,

1682
01:36:30.439 --> 01:36:34.239
Starring Joan Loring as Grace Larabie and Leon Jenney as

1683
01:36:34.319 --> 01:36:38.359
Peter Friendly and written for Suspense by Walter Black in

1684
01:36:38.439 --> 01:36:39.520
a moment the names of our.

1685
01:36:39.479 --> 01:36:45.560
Players and the word about next week's story of suspense. Mommy,

1686
01:36:45.920 --> 01:36:47.159
I scraped my elbow.

1687
01:36:47.560 --> 01:36:49.760
Oh dear, you ought to be more careful.

1688
01:36:50.520 --> 01:36:51.319
Wait, I'll get the on.

1689
01:36:51.439 --> 01:36:54.319
Gwintine waid, Mommy, isn't that advance?

1690
01:36:54.560 --> 01:36:54.880
Sure?

1691
01:36:55.159 --> 01:36:57.199
But I'm Gwintine's wonderful for scratches too.

1692
01:36:57.479 --> 01:37:00.359
Went for cuts and scrapes as well as burns.

1693
01:37:00.720 --> 01:37:04.359
Science has proved that unguantine boosts nature's healing power as

1694
01:37:04.439 --> 01:37:07.439
no plane at as ef They can forms a protective

1695
01:37:07.520 --> 01:37:10.439
cover to lock out germs and speed healing.

1696
01:37:10.800 --> 01:37:12.760
Stops to haint killee.

1697
01:37:13.159 --> 01:37:14.520
It's not just for burns.

1698
01:37:14.840 --> 01:37:19.840
And now there's something new. Unguantine First aid spray looks

1699
01:37:19.880 --> 01:37:23.800
like a fire extinguisher, but inside is special unguantine medication

1700
01:37:24.000 --> 01:37:28.319
that puts out pain, kills germs, and starts healing fast

1701
01:37:28.399 --> 01:37:33.720
as you spray it on cools and soothe sunburn on contact.

1702
01:37:34.199 --> 01:37:38.760
Get both unguantine first aid spray and unguantine antiseptic dressing

1703
01:37:39.000 --> 01:37:52.439
that boosts nature's healing power. Sauspense is produced and directed

1704
01:37:52.520 --> 01:37:56.880
by Bruno Zerato, junior music supervision by Ethel Huber, and

1705
01:37:57.000 --> 01:38:00.800
featured in Tonight's story whilst Bob Dryden. This Albert Labe

1706
01:38:01.239 --> 01:38:04.880
also heard in our cast where Bill Smith and Barbara Kassar.

1707
01:38:07.960 --> 01:38:12.159
Ah, Well, since we've faced a bit more of the

1708
01:38:13.399 --> 01:38:20.720
harsher darker size, why not have a little fun now, Because,

1709
01:38:20.960 --> 01:38:26.359
after all, not everything in love and hate is so acerbic.

1710
01:38:27.640 --> 01:38:34.560
Sometimes it's more of a feeling, an odd inkling, like

1711
01:38:34.720 --> 01:38:39.680
our herald from earlier. So let's talk a little bit

1712
01:38:39.840 --> 01:38:44.000
less about the man who knew to hate and learn

1713
01:38:44.079 --> 01:38:47.600
a little bit more about a gentleman just going about

1714
01:38:47.640 --> 01:38:54.479
his life, not realizing or perhaps only subconsciously, that he

1715
01:38:55.239 --> 01:39:00.039
would become the man the insects hated.

1716
01:39:07.359 --> 01:39:09.840
Mutual presents the mysterious traveler.

1717
01:39:19.000 --> 01:39:22.119
This is the mysterious traveler inviting you to join me

1718
01:39:22.680 --> 01:39:25.000
on her journey under the realm of the strange and

1719
01:39:25.119 --> 01:39:25.880
the terrifying.

1720
01:39:26.880 --> 01:39:29.439
I hope you will enjoy the trip that it will

1721
01:39:29.560 --> 01:39:31.560
thrill you a little and chill you a little.

1722
01:39:32.199 --> 01:39:34.359
So settle back, get a good grip on your nerves,

1723
01:39:34.399 --> 01:39:36.800
and be comfortable if you can.

1724
01:39:42.600 --> 01:39:45.359
It's the end of July and rather war, isn't it.

1725
01:39:46.439 --> 01:39:49.399
There's probably an insect or two buzzing around in your

1726
01:39:49.439 --> 01:39:53.199
living room right this moment. I'm banging against your screen trying.

1727
01:39:53.000 --> 01:39:53.319
To get in.

1728
01:39:54.680 --> 01:39:55.840
Before we go any further.

1729
01:39:56.800 --> 01:39:57.760
You better get rid of it.

1730
01:39:58.479 --> 01:40:01.600
If you do, you'll read easier as you hear the

1731
01:40:01.720 --> 01:40:05.199
unusual story I have for you today, the story I.

1732
01:40:05.319 --> 01:40:09.960
Call the man the insects hated.

1733
01:40:15.800 --> 01:40:19.319
My story begins in a homemade laboratory, in a crumbling

1734
01:40:19.399 --> 01:40:22.319
mansion on the edge of a bayou deep in the

1735
01:40:22.399 --> 01:40:27.359
heart of the Louisiana Swamps. Outside, the air is filled

1736
01:40:27.399 --> 01:40:32.079
with the strident hum buzzles of insects, uncounted swarms of them,

1737
01:40:32.520 --> 01:40:36.359
crawling and hopping and flying in the hot, lash atmosphere.

1738
01:40:38.000 --> 01:40:40.880
Inside the laboratory, the air is filled with the same

1739
01:40:41.039 --> 01:40:44.720
sound as a small man with graying hair lifts a

1740
01:40:44.800 --> 01:40:46.560
wire insect trapped to a table.

1741
01:40:48.600 --> 01:40:51.119
Listen to the merry How they hate me.

1742
01:40:51.199 --> 01:40:54.520
Every one of them flies, The bees the hottest, the beatles,

1743
01:40:54.560 --> 01:40:56.039
the locust, the spiders.

1744
01:40:56.119 --> 01:40:57.239
They all hate me.

1745
01:40:57.640 --> 01:41:01.920
Oh shan, they don't hate you. The bugs they can't

1746
01:41:01.960 --> 01:41:02.239
hate you.

1747
01:41:02.720 --> 01:41:04.760
Yes, but listen to them hum and buzz when I

1748
01:41:04.840 --> 01:41:05.239
come near.

1749
01:41:06.000 --> 01:41:08.520
They know me, and the reason that's so upset is

1750
01:41:08.560 --> 01:41:10.880
that they know the Bay enemies, and that I'm going

1751
01:41:10.960 --> 01:41:18.039
to destroy them, destroy them utterly, all right, John, Oh Mary,

1752
01:41:18.119 --> 01:41:21.000
you look tired. This life we've been leading the last

1753
01:41:21.039 --> 01:41:23.239
few months. It's very dreary for you, isn't it.

1754
01:41:23.840 --> 01:41:27.159
It's all right, John, It doesn't matter what it does.

1755
01:41:27.479 --> 01:41:30.319
These swamps, they must seem like the last outpost of

1756
01:41:30.439 --> 01:41:31.199
creation to you.

1757
01:41:31.640 --> 01:41:34.439
You always did love the city and the lights, the movement,

1758
01:41:34.520 --> 01:41:36.279
the gaiety. I'm all right.

1759
01:41:37.880 --> 01:41:42.239
You mustn't worry about me. It's only it's such a struggle.

1760
01:41:43.039 --> 01:41:45.199
If we had someone to help us, it would be easier.

1761
01:41:46.000 --> 01:41:48.039
But no one will come out here and work for us.

1762
01:41:48.119 --> 01:41:50.279
Yes, I know, my darling, believe me, I do. But

1763
01:41:50.359 --> 01:41:52.680
it's only for a little while. Soon we'll be rich,

1764
01:41:52.800 --> 01:41:53.520
I promise it.

1765
01:41:54.560 --> 01:41:57.439
All right, John, I'll be patient.

1766
01:41:57.600 --> 01:41:58.760
You do, believe me, Mary.

1767
01:41:59.000 --> 01:42:01.000
You know that I'm on the words of success, now,

1768
01:42:01.079 --> 01:42:03.840
don't you That last formula you saw how quickly it

1769
01:42:03.920 --> 01:42:05.000
killed every insect.

1770
01:42:04.760 --> 01:42:05.279
In the cage.

1771
01:42:05.800 --> 01:42:08.199
Yes, I know it was wonderful, John.

1772
01:42:08.079 --> 01:42:09.560
You said, you know yourself what it will mean to

1773
01:42:09.640 --> 01:42:13.960
the world, the perfect insect killer, something much better than DDT. Why,

1774
01:42:14.039 --> 01:42:17.399
it will be tremendous. It will make the worst jungle livable.

1775
01:42:17.720 --> 01:42:20.960
It will cut down disease and increase the crops. To

1776
01:42:21.079 --> 01:42:23.920
someone at the door, Yes, it's very odd.

1777
01:42:23.960 --> 01:42:24.680
I wonder who it could be.

1778
01:42:25.319 --> 01:42:29.359
I'll see. Perhaps it's doctor Guernsey or mister Conway, the druggist.

1779
01:42:29.479 --> 01:42:35.960
They promised to call. Why it's Professor Hanson in but why,

1780
01:42:36.079 --> 01:42:36.640
yes he is.

1781
01:42:37.399 --> 01:42:39.039
And then quickly there's so many flies.

1782
01:42:39.880 --> 01:42:43.960
Yeah, seems like there is full of bugs outside.

1783
01:42:44.279 --> 01:42:45.680
Never saw so many in my life.

1784
01:42:45.760 --> 01:42:46.600
What is it, Mary?

1785
01:42:47.439 --> 01:42:50.399
It's someone to see you, John, I don't.

1786
01:42:50.560 --> 01:42:55.880
Know who andrews the name professor Martin Andrews. Hey, you

1787
01:42:56.479 --> 01:42:58.399
really are at the wilds here, aren't you?

1788
01:42:58.920 --> 01:42:59.840
That I'd never find you?

1789
01:43:00.279 --> 01:43:04.039
Yes, we are rather isolated, But you're wondering who I

1790
01:43:04.159 --> 01:43:07.199
am and what I want here. The truth is I

1791
01:43:07.319 --> 01:43:09.479
was in Conway's drug store back in town and he

1792
01:43:09.640 --> 01:43:11.920
told me you might be able to use a handyman.

1793
01:43:12.439 --> 01:43:13.640
Ooh a handy man.

1794
01:43:13.840 --> 01:43:15.399
Yes, we can use a handyman.

1795
01:43:16.159 --> 01:43:20.199
How much do you want Ooh, not very much. I

1796
01:43:20.279 --> 01:43:22.000
guess twenty five bucks a week.

1797
01:43:21.840 --> 01:43:22.239
Could do me.

1798
01:43:23.159 --> 01:43:26.159
We can manage that, I think, but done, second thought,

1799
01:43:26.199 --> 01:43:30.319
I don't know. I'm not crazy about these swamps or

1800
01:43:30.520 --> 01:43:34.520
these bugs around. And oh, please try it anyway, mister Andrews.

1801
01:43:35.000 --> 01:43:38.319
My husband is engaged on some very important research and

1802
01:43:38.439 --> 01:43:43.319
he needs help badly. Oh well, when you put it

1803
01:43:43.560 --> 01:43:47.840
like that, missus Hanson, then you will stay. Yeah, I'll stay.

1804
01:43:49.560 --> 01:43:52.079
What have I got to lose? Maybe I like it

1805
01:43:52.159 --> 01:43:53.520
better than I thought at first.

1806
01:43:53.720 --> 01:43:54.840
Excellent, mister Andrews.

1807
01:43:54.920 --> 01:43:59.079
Excellent. Oh just call me Martin, professor. Yes, Martin, yes,

1808
01:44:00.000 --> 01:44:02.039
Now there are a lot of details that you can

1809
01:44:02.119 --> 01:44:06.119
help me with. Now take this watch and you can't

1810
01:44:06.159 --> 01:44:07.359
still be ready in a minute.

1811
01:44:07.600 --> 01:44:10.279
Oh yes, my dear, yes it take this watch Martin,

1812
01:44:10.359 --> 01:44:13.159
and you see this? Why are trap full of insects?

1813
01:44:14.000 --> 01:44:14.199
Yeah?

1814
01:44:15.439 --> 01:44:17.319
There must be thousands of bugs in there?

1815
01:44:17.640 --> 01:44:19.239
There are you see.

1816
01:44:19.279 --> 01:44:22.159
I'm working to discover the perfect insect exterminator.

1817
01:44:22.479 --> 01:44:24.920
Oh yeah, I say, And in this spray.

1818
01:44:24.720 --> 01:44:27.600
Gun, I have my latest solution, formula three hundred and twelve,

1819
01:44:27.800 --> 01:44:30.000
and I'm going to spray it just once at this

1820
01:44:30.119 --> 01:44:32.000
trap full of insects, and you are the time.

1821
01:44:32.399 --> 01:44:34.560
How long it takes them all to die?

1822
01:44:34.960 --> 01:44:38.000
You're gonna kill all those bugs with just one squirt

1823
01:44:38.079 --> 01:44:38.680
from that spray.

1824
01:44:39.279 --> 01:44:43.640
I hope so. And they know it too. Listen to

1825
01:44:43.760 --> 01:44:47.640
them how they hate me. They know I'm going to

1826
01:44:47.760 --> 01:44:48.239
kill them.

1827
01:44:48.159 --> 01:44:51.159
And they wish they could get free to kill me.

1828
01:44:51.760 --> 01:44:54.239
Ah oh, yes, yes they know me.

1829
01:44:55.000 --> 01:44:58.159
Insects hate me, all insects just as I hate them.

1830
01:44:58.800 --> 01:45:00.920
They kill me if they could, but instead I'm going

1831
01:45:01.000 --> 01:45:04.039
to kill them. If you get your eye on the

1832
01:45:04.079 --> 01:45:08.399
watch what oh yeah, yeah, sure, then start timing.

1833
01:45:12.079 --> 01:45:13.960
Now, watch and listen.

1834
01:45:18.439 --> 01:45:22.840
Say that stuff really mosum down? Professor.

1835
01:45:23.000 --> 01:45:25.600
Yes, they're dying now. A few of them are still

1836
01:45:25.680 --> 01:45:27.199
trying to crawl around, but.

1837
01:45:28.800 --> 01:45:29.840
There they go.

1838
01:45:31.960 --> 01:45:33.399
Now, how long did it take?

1839
01:45:34.680 --> 01:45:35.800
Twenty nine seconds?

1840
01:45:36.520 --> 01:45:39.399
It's good, but not quite good enough. But I'm sure

1841
01:45:39.439 --> 01:45:42.600
I'm on the right track. Lunch is John, Oh, yes,

1842
01:45:42.640 --> 01:45:45.840
my dear, Yes, we're coming. Well, Martin, do you think

1843
01:45:45.920 --> 01:45:48.239
you're going to like working here helping me develop my

1844
01:45:48.319 --> 01:45:49.520
new insecular.

1845
01:45:49.359 --> 01:45:52.960
Yes, sir, professor, Eh, I've got an idea. It's going

1846
01:45:53.039 --> 01:45:56.760
to be a lot more interesting here than I ever imagined.

1847
01:46:07.000 --> 01:46:07.640
Some more coffee.

1848
01:46:07.760 --> 01:46:08.960
John, thank you, my dear.

1849
01:46:09.039 --> 01:46:10.560
No, I want to go back to the lab to

1850
01:46:10.640 --> 01:46:13.800
try a new formula. And while i'm mixing it, why

1851
01:46:13.840 --> 01:46:17.439
don't you show Martin around the place. Why that's a

1852
01:46:17.680 --> 01:46:21.520
swell idea, Professor. I'd like to get wise to just

1853
01:46:21.640 --> 01:46:22.479
what you're doing here.

1854
01:46:23.119 --> 01:46:25.039
But I'm sure that John could show you around and

1855
01:46:25.199 --> 01:46:25.920
explain everything.

1856
01:46:26.720 --> 01:46:26.880
Then.

1857
01:46:27.319 --> 01:46:29.159
No, no, no, not at all. Marine. Besides, you know

1858
01:46:29.199 --> 01:46:30.880
how I feel about going outdoors.

1859
01:46:32.039 --> 01:46:35.560
Well, all right, John, if you want me to, fine.

1860
01:46:35.680 --> 01:46:37.920
I'll get started on the new mixture right away, and

1861
01:46:38.279 --> 01:46:40.039
when you're through, i'll have something for you to do.

1862
01:46:40.199 --> 01:46:40.479
Martin.

1863
01:46:40.680 --> 01:46:46.880
Okay, Professor, Well, missus Hanson, I'll be obliged to you

1864
01:46:47.119 --> 01:46:49.720
if you'll give me the load down on everything.

1865
01:46:50.439 --> 01:46:54.199
Well, all right, Martin, there are things that you really

1866
01:46:54.239 --> 01:46:54.640
should know.

1867
01:46:55.680 --> 01:47:04.880
So yeah, So that's how it is.

1868
01:47:05.039 --> 01:47:05.239
Huh.

1869
01:47:06.319 --> 01:47:09.039
The Professor is hipped on the subject of bugs and

1870
01:47:09.199 --> 01:47:12.880
wants to rid the world of him, and he thinks

1871
01:47:12.960 --> 01:47:14.399
they all know it and hate him.

1872
01:47:16.800 --> 01:47:17.680
That's a hot one.

1873
01:47:19.319 --> 01:47:22.680
The bees and the mosquitoes and the flies, they all

1874
01:47:22.760 --> 01:47:23.680
got it in for him.

1875
01:47:24.640 --> 01:47:27.720
You mustn't laugh. I know it's a strange quirk of

1876
01:47:27.800 --> 01:47:30.640
his mind. But it's a harmless one, and you must

1877
01:47:30.680 --> 01:47:32.239
pretend not to notice anything odd about it.

1878
01:47:32.760 --> 01:47:34.760
Oh, okay, missus Hanson, if you say so.

1879
01:47:35.439 --> 01:47:38.000
You see, when he was a small boy, my husband

1880
01:47:38.079 --> 01:47:39.960
was almost stung to death by a swarm of bees

1881
01:47:40.800 --> 01:47:43.520
that wrote on his peculiar hatred of all insects and

1882
01:47:43.680 --> 01:47:45.520
his belief that they hate him.

1883
01:47:46.239 --> 01:47:49.119
Sure, I can see how that would be, and that's the.

1884
01:47:49.119 --> 01:47:51.560
Reason why all his life he's been experimenting to find

1885
01:47:51.760 --> 01:47:53.479
the perfect insect exterminator.

1886
01:47:54.239 --> 01:47:58.560
It's screwy, but if he does find this perfect bug killer,

1887
01:47:58.640 --> 01:47:59.920
it'll pay off bee.

1888
01:48:00.399 --> 01:48:03.159
Oh he will find it. I'm sure that that's why

1889
01:48:03.239 --> 01:48:06.760
I'm willing. I mean, I'm sure he will.

1890
01:48:07.239 --> 01:48:09.279
You were going to say, that's why you're willing to

1891
01:48:09.359 --> 01:48:11.640
stay here in this swamp because you think you'll find

1892
01:48:11.720 --> 01:48:13.680
this bug killer and make a lot of money from me.

1893
01:48:15.439 --> 01:48:19.319
Well that's the truth, and missus Hanson, you're being impertinent.

1894
01:48:19.680 --> 01:48:21.680
The first time I looked at you, I could see

1895
01:48:21.760 --> 01:48:24.119
you weren't meant for a life like this. You were

1896
01:48:24.199 --> 01:48:28.159
meant for pretty clothes and soft music, dancing fun, not

1897
01:48:28.399 --> 01:48:31.520
for routing away in a swamp that's only fit for bugs.

1898
01:48:32.239 --> 01:48:35.520
You mustn't talk like that. I've got to go back

1899
01:48:35.520 --> 01:48:35.960
to the house.

1900
01:48:36.159 --> 01:48:40.640
No, no, not yet. Listen. The minute I stepped inside

1901
01:48:40.720 --> 01:48:42.640
that house, I knew you were eating your heart out

1902
01:48:42.720 --> 01:48:44.840
off of fun and people and pretty things.

1903
01:48:45.399 --> 01:48:46.600
I don't know what you're talking about.

1904
01:48:48.159 --> 01:48:49.000
Let go my rest.

1905
01:48:49.159 --> 01:48:53.760
Not yet, listen. I'm no handyman. I know how to

1906
01:48:53.800 --> 01:48:56.560
make money when I want to. It's just good luck

1907
01:48:56.640 --> 01:48:59.720
that brought me here. My good luck. It is meant

1908
01:48:59.760 --> 01:49:02.960
to be something between us. I know that the second

1909
01:49:03.000 --> 01:49:04.199
you opened the door this morning.

1910
01:49:05.640 --> 01:49:06.279
You're crazy.

1911
01:49:08.319 --> 01:49:08.800
Let me go.

1912
01:49:09.760 --> 01:49:11.439
Sure, I'll let you go.

1913
01:49:13.479 --> 01:49:17.079
There. Well, why don't you run away from me now

1914
01:49:17.159 --> 01:49:17.640
as you can.

1915
01:49:19.279 --> 01:49:20.640
You mustn't say things like that.

1916
01:49:22.279 --> 01:49:25.079
You mustn't, but I already have and I will again.

1917
01:49:26.520 --> 01:49:29.199
You weren't meant to be married to a doddy old

1918
01:49:29.359 --> 01:49:33.520
dodo like the professor. You were meant to live. And

1919
01:49:33.680 --> 01:49:36.800
I'm gonna hang around here until I prove it to you.

1920
01:49:43.840 --> 01:49:47.239
And so Martin Andrews joined the Strange household in the swamps,

1921
01:49:47.600 --> 01:49:51.000
the household where Professor Hanson flooded death for the insect world.

1922
01:49:52.199 --> 01:49:54.359
Mary suggested to him that it had been a mistake

1923
01:49:54.520 --> 01:49:58.680
to hire Martin, so hastily without investigating his background, that

1924
01:49:58.800 --> 01:50:02.079
her husband pooh pooh her arguments, and she was silent,

1925
01:50:03.079 --> 01:50:05.800
knowing she could not explain that she was both frightened

1926
01:50:05.880 --> 01:50:09.359
and fascinated by a man whom she'd seen for the first.

1927
01:50:09.199 --> 01:50:13.800
Time that day. So Martin stayed, and in the days that.

1928
01:50:13.880 --> 01:50:17.560
Followed, Professor Hanson found him invaluable. With his health, the

1929
01:50:17.680 --> 01:50:22.079
work went much more quickly and daily. As the work progressed,

1930
01:50:22.840 --> 01:50:27.039
a number of insects swarming about the house increased, buzzing

1931
01:50:27.279 --> 01:50:30.479
and humming ominously, as though news of the Professor's success

1932
01:50:31.000 --> 01:50:32.920
were spreading throughout the whole swamp.

1933
01:50:33.840 --> 01:50:36.039
Then one morning in the laboratory.

1934
01:50:36.279 --> 01:50:42.279
Guy Martin, exactly fifteen seconds, Professor, fifteen seconds, and every

1935
01:50:42.319 --> 01:50:43.720
insect in the trap is dead.

1936
01:50:44.039 --> 01:50:49.640
We've done it, Martin, Mary, Mary, Yes, yoah, what is it, Mary,

1937
01:50:49.720 --> 01:50:52.039
We've done it. At last, I found the formula that

1938
01:50:52.079 --> 01:50:55.520
will kill any insect no normost instantly, Oh joah, oh,

1939
01:50:55.600 --> 01:50:58.159
I'm so glad this formula three ninety seventy. Here it

1940
01:50:58.279 --> 01:50:59.960
is just a few marks on this piece of paper,

1941
01:51:00.399 --> 01:51:03.079
but it's man's final victory over the insect world.

1942
01:51:03.239 --> 01:51:07.239
Ha, listen to the bugs outside home, Professor They sound

1943
01:51:07.319 --> 01:51:09.199
almost like they know what you've done.

1944
01:51:09.560 --> 01:51:13.119
Oh, yes, they do know, but they're helpless, they're beaten,

1945
01:51:13.199 --> 01:51:13.720
and they know it.

1946
01:51:14.600 --> 01:51:14.800
Yes.

1947
01:51:15.079 --> 01:51:16.640
Now I've got to write a note to Doctor Guernsey

1948
01:51:16.680 --> 01:51:18.760
and mister Conway. Martin wait here for me.

1949
01:51:19.000 --> 01:51:22.399
Yeah sure, Professor Martin, what are you doing with that formula?

1950
01:51:22.760 --> 01:51:25.239
Just putting it in my pocket where it will be safe.

1951
01:51:26.359 --> 01:51:28.439
You know how the Professor is always losing things.

1952
01:51:28.960 --> 01:51:31.079
Give it to me, please, I'll take care of it.

1953
01:51:31.239 --> 01:51:35.039
No, I think i'd better hold on to it. But

1954
01:51:35.159 --> 01:51:38.199
I have something else for you. No, let me go

1955
01:51:39.600 --> 01:51:43.039
on me ever since that first day, and I've been

1956
01:51:43.119 --> 01:51:45.520
waiting until you know as well as I do that

1957
01:51:45.640 --> 01:51:46.760
we were meant for each other.

1958
01:51:47.479 --> 01:51:48.800
You must say such things.

1959
01:51:49.239 --> 01:51:50.239
You do know it, don't you.

1960
01:51:51.079 --> 01:51:51.119
No?

1961
01:51:52.439 --> 01:51:59.960
No, maybe this will convince you, oh Martin, Oh Martin,

1962
01:52:00.680 --> 01:52:02.920
now you know it, don't you?

1963
01:52:04.279 --> 01:52:04.520
Yes?

1964
01:52:06.720 --> 01:52:06.840
Oh?

1965
01:52:07.079 --> 01:52:10.640
Crazy, I suppose I can't help it. You've got to

1966
01:52:10.680 --> 01:52:11.399
go away, Martin.

1967
01:52:12.039 --> 01:52:15.640
Now today you are crazy if you think I'm going

1968
01:52:15.720 --> 01:52:20.520
without you. Here comes a professor. We'll talk about later, Martin.

1969
01:52:20.920 --> 01:52:23.079
Here's a note from mister Conway, the druggist. I've asked

1970
01:52:23.159 --> 01:52:24.960
him to come out with doctor Guernsey tomorrow night.

1971
01:52:24.960 --> 01:52:27.920
Will you drive into town and deliver it to him, please, Hull, Professor,

1972
01:52:28.079 --> 01:52:29.640
be glad to right away.

1973
01:52:42.800 --> 01:52:46.720
Come in Martin quickly. Oh my, your clothes are covered

1974
01:52:46.720 --> 01:52:48.479
with insects. Yes, stands still a minute.

1975
01:52:48.479 --> 01:52:52.560
I get rid of them. Yeah, it takes care of that.

1976
01:52:53.479 --> 01:52:55.119
How in the world did so many get on you?

1977
01:52:55.560 --> 01:52:57.479
And I got out open the garage to her. They

1978
01:52:57.520 --> 01:53:00.199
were crawling all over it. They dropped on to me.

1979
01:53:00.279 --> 01:53:01.279
I couldn't knock them off.

1980
01:53:02.960 --> 01:53:06.119
Yes, Mary, John John, there are ants in the kitchen,

1981
01:53:06.359 --> 01:53:08.159
a whole swarm of giant black ants.

1982
01:53:08.920 --> 01:53:11.159
The monster's giant ants in the kitchen.

1983
01:53:11.199 --> 01:53:11.800
How did they get in?

1984
01:53:11.960 --> 01:53:14.680
I don't know, but they're there and more coming all

1985
01:53:14.760 --> 01:53:15.079
the time.

1986
01:53:15.199 --> 01:53:17.760
In my mind, we'll take care of them. Come on, Martin,

1987
01:53:17.880 --> 01:53:21.079
bring the spray gun. Ride. They mustn't get into the house,

1988
01:53:21.119 --> 01:53:23.000
and we'll bet them. They want to get at me,

1989
01:53:23.239 --> 01:53:26.079
but they're not going to. Yeah, they got John. The

1990
01:53:26.159 --> 01:53:29.399
floors giant dance, the floors black with them. And look

1991
01:53:29.439 --> 01:53:31.600
at them. Come this way toward me. They know who

1992
01:53:31.680 --> 01:53:32.560
I am, Quod Martin.

1993
01:53:32.720 --> 01:53:37.720
Here's the spray, yes, Professor, and this fix them half.

1994
01:53:38.680 --> 01:53:44.359
So let them turn up their toes and felicism.

1995
01:53:44.960 --> 01:53:46.800
How in the world did they get in? I thought

1996
01:53:46.800 --> 01:53:48.159
i'd made this house insight proof.

1997
01:53:48.319 --> 01:53:50.560
Here are some more coming through this hole in the woodward.

1998
01:53:50.680 --> 01:53:51.399
I'll take care of me.

1999
01:53:53.239 --> 01:53:56.000
Yeah, now plug up the hole.

2000
01:53:57.600 --> 01:53:58.840
No morell come in that way.

2001
01:53:59.439 --> 01:54:02.840
There's such good dance. I've never seen any of that.

2002
01:54:03.000 --> 01:54:04.920
Big before, and they were after me.

2003
01:54:05.359 --> 01:54:06.920
But we've talked them a lesson.

2004
01:54:06.760 --> 01:54:10.680
Professor, You've almost convinced me you're right about the bugs

2005
01:54:10.720 --> 01:54:14.199
hating you. I mean, what do you say, it's the truth.

2006
01:54:14.800 --> 01:54:16.560
You never saw so many bugs in your life as

2007
01:54:16.560 --> 01:54:19.239
there are outside right now. When I got back from town,

2008
01:54:19.239 --> 01:54:20.960
I could hardly see the house for the beatles and

2009
01:54:21.000 --> 01:54:23.159
the flies and the hornets that are buzzing around it.

2010
01:54:23.880 --> 01:54:26.159
A couple of times the car ran over columns of

2011
01:54:26.239 --> 01:54:28.439
ants so thick I thought they were gonna clog the wheels.

2012
01:54:28.760 --> 01:54:29.960
Columns heading this way?

2013
01:54:30.279 --> 01:54:30.479
Is that?

2014
01:54:30.720 --> 01:54:33.039
So? I'm gonna go over to the window and see

2015
01:54:33.079 --> 01:54:33.680
for myself.

2016
01:54:35.600 --> 01:54:38.199
Yes, good heavens, the screen is so covered with insects

2017
01:54:38.199 --> 01:54:38.960
I can't see out.

2018
01:54:39.159 --> 01:54:41.319
I'll give them a dossier bug killer. That'll make them

2019
01:54:41.399 --> 01:54:47.880
move on. Eh, that cleared them off.

2020
01:54:49.119 --> 01:54:53.279
Nah, take a look outside, Professor, did you ever see

2021
01:54:53.279 --> 01:54:55.039
anything like that in your life?

2022
01:54:55.960 --> 01:54:58.880
Oh Lord, the sky is black within sicts. Look at

2023
01:54:58.920 --> 01:55:02.640
that swarm over the trees, drying beetles, wasp bees.

2024
01:55:02.760 --> 01:55:04.439
Looke, I can't identify them all.

2025
01:55:04.680 --> 01:55:10.359
Yeah, and just listen to them, Listen to that son

2026
01:55:10.520 --> 01:55:11.159
of hate.

2027
01:55:11.600 --> 01:55:16.079
Don't say that it's just a natural phenomenon. These swamps

2028
01:55:16.680 --> 01:55:16.880
by the.

2029
01:55:16.920 --> 01:55:19.600
Millions, Yeah, yeah, I know, and every one of those

2030
01:55:19.680 --> 01:55:20.880
millions is headed right.

2031
01:55:20.800 --> 01:55:21.560
For this spot.

2032
01:55:22.000 --> 01:55:22.880
But that's ridiculous.

2033
01:55:22.960 --> 01:55:25.319
No, it's not all the way to town.

2034
01:55:25.399 --> 01:55:28.279
I didn't see a single bug because they're all gathered

2035
01:55:28.359 --> 01:55:30.279
right around here, right around this house.

2036
01:55:30.479 --> 01:55:31.359
You mustn't say that.

2037
01:55:31.560 --> 01:55:31.960
He's right.

2038
01:55:32.079 --> 01:55:34.079
They know what's happening here, and they want to stop me.

2039
01:55:34.319 --> 01:55:37.479
No, Town, No, If you want my advice, the thing

2040
01:55:37.560 --> 01:55:39.840
to do is make up all a formula three nine

2041
01:55:39.960 --> 01:55:41.159
seven Weeken.

2042
01:55:41.960 --> 01:55:43.920
Those bugs ever get into this house.

2043
01:55:44.119 --> 01:55:45.199
We're gonna need it.

2044
01:55:51.560 --> 01:55:54.600
As the day wore on, the clouds of insects surrounding

2045
01:55:54.640 --> 01:55:58.960
the old mansion and the swamps grew steadily bigger. At times,

2046
01:55:59.000 --> 01:56:01.880
the house was almost hidden by the black swarms of

2047
01:56:02.000 --> 01:56:05.840
tiny creatures flying and crawling over it, as if they

2048
01:56:06.039 --> 01:56:09.760
really were trying to force their way inside. Only a

2049
01:56:09.840 --> 01:56:12.880
few did get into the house through unnoticed cracks.

2050
01:56:13.319 --> 01:56:19.640
But as night came on, John, Yes, John, the lights

2051
01:56:19.640 --> 01:56:20.079
won't go on.

2052
01:56:20.279 --> 01:56:20.720
They won't.

2053
01:56:20.920 --> 01:56:24.119
No, look, confuse must have blown out.

2054
01:56:24.279 --> 01:56:26.439
I'll go take a look, Professor, I have the flashlight.

2055
01:56:26.600 --> 01:56:27.239
Thank you, Martin.

2056
01:56:27.319 --> 01:56:28.239
I want to be a minute.

2057
01:56:29.319 --> 01:56:33.680
Listen to them, Mary, listen to them swarming about the house,

2058
01:56:33.800 --> 01:56:36.319
beating against the screens, trying to get in at me.

2059
01:56:36.600 --> 01:56:38.399
Oh, John, they're just insects.

2060
01:56:38.840 --> 01:56:39.640
They don't hate you.

2061
01:56:39.920 --> 01:56:41.840
They don't table Then where they come from? Why are

2062
01:56:41.880 --> 01:56:44.239
they surrounding this house? Answer me that, Oh, I don't know.

2063
01:56:44.560 --> 01:56:46.840
Martin agrees with me. You said so this afternoon.

2064
01:56:47.520 --> 01:56:49.039
You mustn't pay any attention to Martin.

2065
01:56:49.279 --> 01:56:50.039
Listen to them.

2066
01:56:50.479 --> 01:56:53.279
If they could get in, we'd be dead in fifteen minutes.

2067
01:56:54.000 --> 01:56:57.239
There's death. We here humming and buzzing out there, Mary.

2068
01:56:57.279 --> 01:57:01.039
Professor, Professor, this what is it? Did you find the trouble? Yes,

2069
01:57:01.119 --> 01:57:03.319
it's in the switchbox aller right. All the fuses are

2070
01:57:03.319 --> 01:57:06.399
blown out, all of them. But how the switchbox is

2071
01:57:06.479 --> 01:57:09.039
full of little beetles. I don't know where they came from,

2072
01:57:09.079 --> 01:57:10.880
but they caused a short circuit that blew out all

2073
01:57:10.920 --> 01:57:11.399
the fuses.

2074
01:57:11.439 --> 01:57:12.439
They did it on purpose.

2075
01:57:12.560 --> 01:57:15.600
Oh John, Well, anyway, we'll be using candles tonight.

2076
01:57:16.159 --> 01:57:17.880
And there's another thing, what button?

2077
01:57:18.279 --> 01:57:19.079
The cellar is.

2078
01:57:19.239 --> 01:57:22.199
Full of little white ants. I couldn't find out where

2079
01:57:22.199 --> 01:57:22.840
they're coming from.

2080
01:57:23.079 --> 01:57:24.720
White ass not ants, Martin.

2081
01:57:24.720 --> 01:57:27.800
Those are termite, well termites, and they're all over everything.

2082
01:57:28.560 --> 01:57:32.560
Termites. They can eat their way through wood. They can

2083
01:57:32.600 --> 01:57:35.399
eat holes that the other insects can enter through. Yeah,

2084
01:57:36.319 --> 01:57:39.680
that's right, isn't it, Martin? Come on, get two insects sprays.

2085
01:57:39.920 --> 01:57:42.039
We've got to get down there and destroy them before

2086
01:57:42.079 --> 01:57:42.840
they destroy us.

2087
01:57:54.119 --> 01:57:54.800
Listen to them.

2088
01:57:56.439 --> 01:57:56.560
There.

2089
01:57:56.600 --> 01:58:01.279
Let's be billions of bugs out there, crickets, bees, flies, hornets,

2090
01:58:01.479 --> 01:58:04.520
wasp lance, every kind of insect there is. It's a

2091
01:58:04.560 --> 01:58:06.640
good thing you put tight screens on this house.

2092
01:58:07.119 --> 01:58:08.000
Yeah, what is it?

2093
01:58:08.119 --> 01:58:08.359
Mary?

2094
01:58:09.239 --> 01:58:10.479
I thought I felt the house shake.

2095
01:58:10.600 --> 01:58:12.840
Then ah, I don't let your imagination get you. I

2096
01:58:12.880 --> 01:58:13.560
didn't feel anything.

2097
01:58:13.640 --> 01:58:15.760
No, no, no, you must keep control of your nerves.

2098
01:58:16.520 --> 01:58:20.800
I suppose I imagined it. Then, Oh, John, it's almost midnight.

2099
01:58:21.560 --> 01:58:22.920
Are they ever going to go away?

2100
01:58:23.520 --> 01:58:26.720
Maybe not. If the professor's right and they're after him,

2101
01:58:26.760 --> 01:58:29.880
they'll just hang around until we starve to death, or

2102
01:58:30.239 --> 01:58:32.680
until they get in and finish us off.

2103
01:58:32.960 --> 01:58:33.439
Oh, Martin.

2104
01:58:34.079 --> 01:58:37.199
Martin is right. We've used up all the formula three

2105
01:58:37.319 --> 01:58:39.720
ninety seven, and if they ever do get into the house,

2106
01:58:39.800 --> 01:58:42.560
we're doomed. I was just thinking that myself.

2107
01:58:43.800 --> 01:58:46.439
We have got to get help, go out of the heart. Yes,

2108
01:58:46.640 --> 01:58:48.039
oh no, John, not all of us.

2109
01:58:48.760 --> 01:58:50.239
But maybe if I were to take the car and

2110
01:58:50.319 --> 01:58:52.560
make a dash for town, they might follow me.

2111
01:58:52.960 --> 01:58:53.960
John, that's madness in.

2112
01:58:54.039 --> 01:58:55.920
This Si Dan. With all the window shut, they couldn't

2113
01:58:55.920 --> 01:58:57.520
get at me. And in town I could get help.

2114
01:58:57.640 --> 01:58:58.800
Yeah, yeah, you caught.

2115
01:58:58.880 --> 01:59:00.720
I could make a more for me three ninety seven

2116
01:59:00.760 --> 01:59:03.279
at Conway's drug store, and he and doctor Guernsey can

2117
01:59:03.319 --> 01:59:03.920
come back with me.

2118
01:59:04.159 --> 01:59:05.880
And if we use a big pumpa spray, we could

2119
01:59:05.880 --> 01:59:06.560
destroy every.

2120
01:59:06.439 --> 01:59:07.359
Insect that's outside.

2121
01:59:07.479 --> 01:59:08.920
No, you mustn't try it.

2122
01:59:09.079 --> 01:59:11.800
It sounds like a good idea to me. I go

2123
01:59:11.960 --> 01:59:13.960
only I couldn't mix the formula.

2124
01:59:14.119 --> 01:59:15.760
No, John, you mustn't go out.

2125
01:59:15.880 --> 01:59:18.039
Yes, I'm going to do it. If those ants ever

2126
01:59:18.199 --> 01:59:20.239
get at the car, they'd cut the tires to shreds

2127
01:59:20.279 --> 01:59:21.920
and then we would be at their mercy. I've got

2128
01:59:21.960 --> 01:59:23.000
to go for help while I can.

2129
01:59:23.479 --> 01:59:24.199
Then let's all go.

2130
01:59:24.800 --> 01:59:26.479
We can all get in the car, and it'd be

2131
01:59:26.640 --> 01:59:29.960
safer to stay here. His hassle hold them off for

2132
01:59:30.039 --> 01:59:30.479
a good while.

2133
01:59:30.560 --> 01:59:33.960
Yet I think the Professor's scheme is the best.

2134
01:59:34.279 --> 01:59:36.640
Go right, Martin, Now, I'll get ready, and then you

2135
01:59:36.720 --> 01:59:38.720
come downstairs and help me with the garage doors, and

2136
01:59:38.800 --> 01:59:40.520
you're going to have to open and shut them off

2137
01:59:40.640 --> 01:59:42.000
with fast when I take the car out.

2138
01:59:48.560 --> 01:59:52.720
Despite Mary's protests, Professor Hansen carried out his plan, with

2139
01:59:52.880 --> 01:59:56.560
the car tightly closed, the motor racing Martin flannel opened

2140
01:59:56.560 --> 01:59:59.399
the garage doors. The car shut out into the night

2141
01:59:59.600 --> 02:00:03.159
ad by showing great swarms of flying insects in its path.

2142
02:00:03.760 --> 02:00:06.399
Then Martin swiftly closed and bolted the door again and

2143
02:00:06.560 --> 02:00:07.359
hurried upstairs.

2144
02:00:09.640 --> 02:00:11.560
Oh he's gone.

2145
02:00:12.319 --> 02:00:13.479
Oh why did you let him go?

2146
02:00:14.640 --> 02:00:18.399
That ought to be obvious. What do you mean I

2147
02:00:18.479 --> 02:00:19.239
didn't let him go.

2148
02:00:19.439 --> 02:00:20.119
I made him go.

2149
02:00:21.000 --> 02:00:22.479
I put the whole idea in his mind.

2150
02:00:22.560 --> 02:00:26.439
So he go off and leave us alone here? Oh no,

2151
02:00:27.079 --> 02:00:30.600
sure I did. I'm a bright boy. Now on, it's

2152
02:00:30.680 --> 02:00:35.199
going to be just you and me and fun. What

2153
02:00:35.319 --> 02:00:39.600
are you saying John isn't going to come back from

2154
02:00:39.680 --> 02:00:40.960
his little trip to town.

2155
02:00:42.000 --> 02:00:42.840
I don't understand.

2156
02:00:43.239 --> 02:00:45.760
I'll make it simple in the first place. All those

2157
02:00:45.840 --> 02:00:48.520
bugs outside don't mean a thing. When I was in

2158
02:00:48.600 --> 02:00:51.319
town this morning, Conway the druggist told me it happens

2159
02:00:51.359 --> 02:00:54.239
out here every seven years or so. There's something about

2160
02:00:54.239 --> 02:00:56.520
the way the wind blows that makes millions of bugs

2161
02:00:56.600 --> 02:00:59.119
come out of the swamp to swarm around this house

2162
02:00:59.199 --> 02:00:59.840
in certain years.

2163
02:01:00.439 --> 02:01:03.000
Oh, but then, why did you pretend to believe John

2164
02:01:03.039 --> 02:01:05.239
when he said it was because they were after him.

2165
02:01:05.720 --> 02:01:08.439
Just so as he'd go to town for help. Those

2166
02:01:08.479 --> 02:01:10.760
bugs are harmless. As soon as the wind shifts, they'll

2167
02:01:10.800 --> 02:01:15.399
be gone. But then, right this minute, John's driving to

2168
02:01:15.479 --> 02:01:18.399
town as fast as he can go. And any second

2169
02:01:18.479 --> 02:01:24.520
now the steering gear is gonna bust. No, yes, baby,

2170
02:01:24.960 --> 02:01:28.279
because I fixed it too. And when that steering wheel goes,

2171
02:01:28.319 --> 02:01:30.760
it'll be curtains for John. The car hid a tree,

2172
02:01:30.960 --> 02:01:36.039
and you'll be free to marry me. We'll have Formula

2173
02:01:36.159 --> 02:01:38.279
three nine seven and all the door will bring in.

2174
02:01:40.439 --> 02:01:45.039
That's murder, Nah, it isn't murder, it's being smart.

2175
02:01:46.720 --> 02:01:51.399
You've murdered John. I'm guilty too, because I didn't make

2176
02:01:51.479 --> 02:01:52.159
him send you away.

2177
02:01:52.760 --> 02:01:54.560
You never really wanted me to go.

2178
02:01:58.560 --> 02:01:59.479
I ought to load with you.

2179
02:02:00.720 --> 02:02:01.680
I myself too.

2180
02:02:01.920 --> 02:02:10.319
But but you don't, No, Mam, I don't. That's small,

2181
02:02:10.479 --> 02:02:15.560
like a baby. We'll always be together, always, forever.

2182
02:02:15.800 --> 02:02:16.159
Martin.

2183
02:02:18.600 --> 02:02:20.800
Huh, it's the house.

2184
02:02:21.880 --> 02:02:24.760
Did you say you gotta get out of here? I'll

2185
02:02:25.159 --> 02:02:27.600
begin it very quick. I'm holding.

2186
02:02:28.079 --> 02:02:49.680
Come on, m hm, mister Conway, can't you drive faster?

2187
02:02:49.800 --> 02:02:50.920
We must get back to the house.

2188
02:02:50.960 --> 02:02:53.399
I'm driving as fast as I can, Professor.

2189
02:02:53.159 --> 02:02:57.279
Professor, you must control yourself. That was the sheriest accident

2190
02:02:57.359 --> 02:03:00.239
you were in. It's a miracle you weren't killed us.

2191
02:03:00.720 --> 02:03:03.880
Were you're kid at that tree? I'm just glad it

2192
02:03:04.039 --> 02:03:05.960
wasn't me. Yes, please drive faster.

2193
02:03:06.520 --> 02:03:08.760
I should never have allowed you to return to your

2194
02:03:08.800 --> 02:03:11.439
home with us. You should be in a hospital, a doctor,

2195
02:03:11.520 --> 02:03:13.680
my wife and Martin. I've got to save them. Those

2196
02:03:13.760 --> 02:03:16.399
insects they hate me. They're out to destroy all of us.

2197
02:03:16.560 --> 02:03:18.399
They'll kill my wife and Martin if we don't get

2198
02:03:18.439 --> 02:03:22.479
there in time. Professor, you must calm yourself. I'm sure

2199
02:03:22.520 --> 02:03:23.840
it isn't as serious as all that.

2200
02:03:24.000 --> 02:03:26.439
Oh, doctor, You, like everyone else, you don't know how

2201
02:03:26.560 --> 02:03:27.960
dangerous the insect world is.

2202
02:03:28.079 --> 02:03:28.560
But I know.

2203
02:03:29.039 --> 02:03:30.920
And that's why they hate me, and that's why they're

2204
02:03:30.960 --> 02:03:32.920
out to destroy me and my wife and Martin.

2205
02:03:34.319 --> 02:03:35.199
How we're almost there.

2206
02:03:35.520 --> 02:03:37.840
House is just around this bend in the road. Just

2207
02:03:37.920 --> 02:03:40.079
but please hurry. You mustn't slow down, Professor.

2208
02:03:40.279 --> 02:03:43.039
I gotta take this curve flow after all. We don't

2209
02:03:43.039 --> 02:03:43.439
want no more.

2210
02:03:44.720 --> 02:03:49.479
Good Lord, the house it's collapsed.

2211
02:03:50.319 --> 02:03:52.359
They've rented the insective rented.

2212
02:03:52.920 --> 02:03:55.520
I don't do they were out to get me. Now,

2213
02:03:55.560 --> 02:03:57.479
come quickly, we must find my wife and Martin.

2214
02:03:57.840 --> 02:03:58.760
Come along, Conway.

2215
02:03:59.000 --> 02:04:02.760
This looks bad, doctor, Mary, Mary, where are you?

2216
02:04:04.239 --> 02:04:04.359
Very?

2217
02:04:04.439 --> 02:04:08.199
Answer me, Conway, you'd better start looking through the wrecked.

2218
02:04:08.000 --> 02:04:10.960
Okay, very very, where are you?

2219
02:04:11.279 --> 02:04:13.800
Oh Lord, I've never seen so many bugs in all

2220
02:04:13.920 --> 02:04:16.319
my life. We've only had more of my Formula three

2221
02:04:16.399 --> 02:04:16.840
ninety seven.

2222
02:04:16.880 --> 02:04:20.159
We could kill all of them, all of them, but

2223
02:04:20.319 --> 02:04:21.479
they won't get the better of me.

2224
02:04:22.079 --> 02:04:24.720
They won't, Professor, What are you doing?

2225
02:04:25.479 --> 02:04:25.600
There?

2226
02:04:25.680 --> 02:04:27.000
Isn't anny spray in that gun.

2227
02:04:27.079 --> 02:04:31.920
It's import I'll show them. I'll show them, doctor, Doctor.

2228
02:04:33.000 --> 02:04:33.600
I found them.

2229
02:04:35.039 --> 02:04:36.520
They're under the wreckage of the house.

2230
02:04:36.760 --> 02:04:39.680
Oh you'd better take me to them, Conway. Perhaps, which

2231
02:04:39.840 --> 02:04:40.720
is too late, Doc.

2232
02:04:42.159 --> 02:04:43.159
They're both dead.

2233
02:04:45.079 --> 02:04:49.039
They're dead, yes, Professor. They were killed by falling timbers

2234
02:04:49.159 --> 02:04:50.239
when the house collapsed.

2235
02:04:50.520 --> 02:04:53.760
No, no, it wasn't the falling timbers that kill them.

2236
02:04:53.880 --> 02:04:55.960
It was the insect world that killed them. They tried

2237
02:04:56.000 --> 02:04:58.560
to destroy me, and instead they murdered Mary. But now

2238
02:04:58.560 --> 02:05:00.600
they're trying to break me down. I won't get them.

2239
02:05:01.079 --> 02:05:01.960
I won't get them.

2240
02:05:04.159 --> 02:05:09.199
Populously ninety seven. The sprays will just slide the balls. Yes, yes,

2241
02:05:09.840 --> 02:05:14.119
they're dying. That's the right, they're dying dark.

2242
02:05:14.479 --> 02:05:15.279
What's wrong with them?

2243
02:05:15.399 --> 02:05:16.840
That spray uns empty?

2244
02:05:18.399 --> 02:05:19.279
Conero?

2245
02:05:21.600 --> 02:05:23.600
It is completely mad.

2246
02:05:25.119 --> 02:05:29.239
The insect world has destroyed his mind.

2247
02:05:49.279 --> 02:05:55.720
M this is the mysterious traveler again. How did you

2248
02:05:55.920 --> 02:06:00.159
enjoy our visit with the man? The insects hated? Too

2249
02:06:00.199 --> 02:06:02.319
bad about poor professor Hansen, wasn't it?

2250
02:06:03.600 --> 02:06:03.800
Yes?

2251
02:06:03.960 --> 02:06:07.000
They found it gone completely mad, and in his madness,

2252
02:06:07.239 --> 02:06:11.079
had completely forgotten his newly discovered formula three nine seven,

2253
02:06:11.560 --> 02:06:16.239
which would destroy all insects. What happened to the copy

2254
02:06:16.319 --> 02:06:20.560
of the formula which Martin had stolen, Well, strangely enough,

2255
02:06:21.159 --> 02:06:25.279
when Martin's body was removed from the wreckage, a formula

2256
02:06:25.520 --> 02:06:26.680
was not in his pockets.

2257
02:06:28.119 --> 02:06:30.680
Some people say that the insects.

2258
02:06:31.880 --> 02:06:35.399
You have to get off here. I'm sorry, and I'm

2259
02:06:35.479 --> 02:06:36.560
sure we'll meet again.

2260
02:06:37.880 --> 02:06:41.279
I take this same train every week at the same time.

2261
02:06:58.159 --> 02:07:01.520
You've just heard The Mysterious Trouble, a series of dramas

2262
02:07:01.560 --> 02:07:05.000
of the strange and terrifying. In today's story, the cast

2263
02:07:05.079 --> 02:07:09.560
included Maurice Toplin, Eric Dressler, Helen Shields and Robert Dryden.

2264
02:07:10.079 --> 02:07:14.039
Original music was played by Geen Piazzo. A Mysterious Traveler

2265
02:07:14.279 --> 02:07:18.439
is written, produced and directed by Bob Arthur and David Cogan.

2266
02:07:22.439 --> 02:07:30.520
O love well, my dear.

2267
02:07:32.159 --> 02:07:36.479
I do hope you know that if one thing is certain,

2268
02:07:37.680 --> 02:07:42.279
it's that I do not hate you. In fact, quite

2269
02:07:42.319 --> 02:07:46.600
the opposite. One of the best parts of my my

2270
02:07:46.760 --> 02:07:52.159
week is spending time with you, having something fun and

2271
02:07:52.359 --> 02:07:56.079
scary to enjoy and share. So thank you from the

2272
02:07:56.159 --> 02:08:00.000
bottom of whatever it is in place of my home

2273
02:08:00.439 --> 02:08:04.640
for all of your kind companionship and fellowship.

2274
02:08:05.600 --> 02:08:06.680
I do appreciate it.

2275
02:08:07.600 --> 02:08:11.680
But now well, the sun will be up soon, so

2276
02:08:12.760 --> 02:08:16.279
you should probably make your way home. But as you

2277
02:08:16.479 --> 02:08:21.199
go down the dark and narrow streets, cutting through yards

2278
02:08:21.359 --> 02:08:25.720
and woods, having the sticks and branches of bushes and

2279
02:08:25.840 --> 02:08:29.720
trees snapping against you as you try to get home

2280
02:08:29.840 --> 02:08:32.960
in time, as you lay your head down on your pillow,

2281
02:08:33.800 --> 02:08:37.520
take a moment and be thankful for what you heard.

2282
02:08:38.279 --> 02:08:39.319
I'll see you next time.
