Unknown Broadcast | "Battle of the Magicians"

The episode of "Lights Out," titled "The Battle of the Magicians," immerses listeners in a spellbinding narrative that traverses themes of magic, death, and the fine line between belief and skepticism. The show begins with a classic magic trick, setting a whimsical yet eerie tone as the host engages the audience with a card trick while foreshadowing the enchanting story that follows. The invitation to explore the mystical and the unknown serves as a prelude to the unfolding drama filled with tension and supernatural elements.

As the story progresses, Mr. Saladin, a skilled investigator, engages in a philosophical dialogue with Irene, debating the nature of truth and superstition. This discussion delves into the horrific folklore surrounding zombies, evoking intrigue as Saladin asserts that the belief in their existence is deeply rooted within cultural narratives across the globe. The narrative smoothly transitions from philosophical musings to the hard-hitting realities of modern life when Mr. Warner, president of Acme Airlines, approaches Saladin about a series of mysterious airplane crashes linked to a powerful magician named Dr. Ehrlich. A sense of urgency punctuates the investigation, elevating the stakes as Saladin uncovers a complex web of black magic and manipulation opposing him.

Tension escalates as the clock ticks down on the fate of the airplanes and their passengers, where Saladin learns that one of the doomed aircraft is being piloted by a zombie under the control of Alec, Ehrlich’s henchman. A clever use of dialogue highlights the banter between Saladin and Alec, showcasing their longstanding rivalry. This rivalry weaves together elements of classic storytelling, wherein two formidable foes prepare for a conflict steeped in both intrigue and dark magic.

Saladin's ingenuity is on display as he devises a plan to thwart Alec and rescue the airplane from certain disaster. The episode deftly shifts between Saladin’s ingenious tactics and Alec's sinister machinations, keeping listeners teetering on the edge of their seats. Through a clever radio communication, Saladin attempts to communicate with the pilot of the compromised plane, further complicating the narrative with the stakes skyrocketing amidst tense exchanges.

The climax showcases a sophisticated battle of wits between Saladin and Alec, highlighting the power of words and their influence over the 'living dead.' The audience witnesses how Saladin leverages the hitherto unseen power of salt, a crucial element in the lore of zombies. The creative storytelling culminates in a dramatic twist when the audience learns that the aircraft, though embroiled in chaos, is saved just in time as Saladin’s true understanding of magic outmaneuvers Alec’s deterministic grip on his zombie pilot.

As the narrative comes to a close, the fate of both the airplane and the malevolent magician are intertwined, bringing resolution to the story while leaving a haunting impression. The clever framing of the episode, which blends magic as both metaphor and literal force, emphasizes the magic present in relationships and human experiences, providing a profound takeaway for the audience. The show's final reflections remind listeners of the omnipresent nature of magic not just in the story but also in real life, encouraging a sense of gratitude and recognition for the connections we forge.

In summary, "The Battle of the Magicians" offers a masterful blend of supernatural folklore, philosophical dialogue, and a gripping tale of rivalry, all delivered through scintillating performances that breathe life into the narrative. The interplay of skepticism and belief serves as a central theme, reminding audiences of the power of perception as they navigate the landscape of magic, both in the story and their everyday lives.

00:00:09.839 --> 00:00:15.160
Ah, hello, my dear Hold on one second. Okay, okay,

2
00:00:15.359 --> 00:00:22.480
pick a cock any car I won't let Okay, okay,

3
00:00:22.679 --> 00:00:25.920
Now do you have that card memorized? Is it is

4
00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:32.560
completely inside your mind's eye? Now place it back in

5
00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:38.759
the deck anywhere you wish, Now, shove out, shove the deck.

6
00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:39.439
For me, for me.

7
00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:43.079
Now, if you can see, there's nothing up my sleeve,

8
00:00:43.799 --> 00:00:48.079
nothing up this other sleeve right here. But if I

9
00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:55.799
wave my hands like so, is this your car? What

10
00:00:55.920 --> 00:01:01.000
a delight? I'm glad you enjoyed that. It's an old trick,

11
00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:05.359
but it still works. And Tonight's stories Battle of the

12
00:01:05.400 --> 00:01:10.400
Magicians goes a bit further in the whimsies, So let's

13
00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:11.920
get comfy and listen.

14
00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:18.439
Now, The National Broadcasting Company presents Lights Out, a summer

15
00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:20.719
revival of some of the best stories in the series,

16
00:01:20.719 --> 00:01:24.400
which many of our listeners will remember. Tonight's story, the

17
00:01:24.480 --> 00:01:28.000
fourth in the current series, is called the Battle of

18
00:01:28.079 --> 00:01:28.879
the Magicians.

19
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:47.799
Lights Out, Everybody, this is the Witching hour. It is

20
00:01:47.799 --> 00:01:52.560
the hour when dogs howl and evil eyes let loose.

21
00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:54.560
Unsleeping world.

22
00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:05.040
Sit in the top now and listen to Lights Out.

23
00:02:18.759 --> 00:02:22.639
But mister Saladin, is it true true?

24
00:02:22.919 --> 00:02:26.479
What makes the thing true, Irene, because you believe in it,

25
00:02:26.599 --> 00:02:29.520
or because the million others believing it, or I can

26
00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:32.879
tell you this. The penal Code of Haiti contains a

27
00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:36.919
section promising death to any who creates on these and

28
00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:39.319
if the sober lawmakers of the country believe enough of

29
00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:42.120
it to put it into their books of law, well

30
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:42.639
then but.

31
00:02:42.759 --> 00:02:46.520
It's impossible to raise the dead, mister saladein.

32
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:51.159
Impossible, I wonder. The folklore of every country is full

33
00:02:51.159 --> 00:02:54.919
of tales of bringing the dead back to life, bringing

34
00:02:54.960 --> 00:03:00.719
them back to serve the living. There are tales of vampires, ghosts, wherewolves,

35
00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:03.039
But they're superstitions.

36
00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:04.120
Surely you don't.

37
00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:06.759
Foo, my my dear irene, to say where truth ends

38
00:03:06.759 --> 00:03:08.560
and superstition begins.

39
00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:11.840
I'd like to know some more about zombies.

40
00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:14.400
I've told you all that is known of them, How

41
00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:18.520
they are living yet not living dead, How they are

42
00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:21.439
summoned from the grave by the black magic as some sorcerer.

43
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:24.800
How they must do his bidding until he wearies of them.

44
00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:27.000
But must these.

45
00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:30.240
Poor dead people well, I mean, it isn't there ever

46
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:31.400
any rest for them?

47
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:36.039
Can't they will not die again? Yes, there is a

48
00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:39.879
way zombies eat, you know, even as human beings do,

49
00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:43.520
but only when they are fined. They will not seek

50
00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:47.639
food for themselves. And if they eat salt. If anything

51
00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:51.159
containing salt so much as passes a zombies lips, then

52
00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:54.560
he must return forthwith to his grave. Oh what, mister

53
00:03:55.520 --> 00:03:58.759
til irene. I do not make it up. But look you,

54
00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:03.240
these creatures of the darkness, these unholy beings of superstition.

55
00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:07.840
They must obey laws. Nature has its laws, So there

56
00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:11.439
are laws, are the supernatural, immutable laws that all its

57
00:04:11.479 --> 00:04:14.759
creatures must obey, even as weak creatures of nature must

58
00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:15.439
obey ours.

59
00:04:16.319 --> 00:04:20.160
You speak of superstition, But superstition is just believe.

60
00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:21.240
It is so.

61
00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:24.560
But we have been taught only in recent years to

62
00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:28.519
believe in certain things that science has learned, the germ

63
00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:30.399
theory of disease, for example.

64
00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:34.000
But that's true, mister saladein perhaps, yes.

65
00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:38.040
I do not deny it. There's ample proof. There's also

66
00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:41.720
ample proof of the existence of supernatural beings, if one

67
00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:43.360
will take the trouble to look for it.

68
00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:50.279
Not proof proof indeed. But hmm, it appears we have

69
00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:50.839
a visitor.

70
00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:54.120
I mean, yes, sir, I'll see who it is, mister Saladin,

71
00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:07.879
mister Joseph Warner, President of Atney Airlines, mister Saladein.

72
00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:10.279
So show him and then please.

73
00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:13.319
Yes, sir, mister Saladeen.

74
00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:13.959
Is to you, mister Warner.

75
00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:17.879
Thank you, Good morning, dear mister Warner.

76
00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:22.600
You're sir Aladdin Saladeen. Yes, they are some kind of detective.

77
00:05:22.759 --> 00:05:25.720
Some people have been, shall I say, kind enough to

78
00:05:25.720 --> 00:05:28.720
describe me as an investigators. I hear that. You're good,

79
00:05:28.920 --> 00:05:33.839
Thank you. And so you have come to consult me

80
00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:37.199
about the recent wrecks of your airplanes. Mister Warnham. How

81
00:05:37.240 --> 00:05:37.600
did it?

82
00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:42.480
Oh, yes, the newspapers of course. Well that's right, mister Saladeen.

83
00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:47.360
So you read about that one yesterday. Yes, fourteen killed

84
00:05:47.399 --> 00:05:48.639
including the crew are three.

85
00:05:49.319 --> 00:05:53.319
Absolutely no explanation for it except what you know, mister Warner.

86
00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:56.480
What I said, accept what you know about it? What

87
00:05:56.560 --> 00:05:58.040
do you mean you would not have come to me,

88
00:05:58.199 --> 00:06:03.519
mister Warner unless well, suppose you explained. I'd like to

89
00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:08.759
know how you knew that? It is my business? Yes,

90
00:06:08.839 --> 00:06:09.319
I mean.

91
00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:12.319
Is the window washing, mister Salladeen.

92
00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:16.920
Can you come through your artics very well? Wonder mister

93
00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:20.920
excuse me please, I gotta get the winner for.

94
00:06:22.480 --> 00:06:24.079
Hm hm.

95
00:06:25.879 --> 00:06:27.680
That is a job I would not like very well.

96
00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:31.519
I'm afraid, mister Warner, but to your business, you will

97
00:06:32.040 --> 00:06:32.839
received a warning?

98
00:06:33.720 --> 00:06:35.199
Yes, I received it.

99
00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:38.879
How did you.

100
00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:41.319
Know that I have the knowledge of the ways in

101
00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:43.439
which doctor Elick works, mister Warner.

102
00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:45.560
Erlick, that's that's the name.

103
00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:49.040
I was rather certain you will read the letter. It

104
00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:49.839
was a letter, I.

105
00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:53.360
Assume, yes, if there were two of them, the first

106
00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:56.680
one or a week ago, I said, miss doctor Erwick,

107
00:06:56.879 --> 00:06:58.639
have made of one hundred thousand dollars.

108
00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:00.800
And the letter.

109
00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:04.800
Warned if I didn't come across, one of our ships

110
00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:05.800
would be wrecked.

111
00:07:05.839 --> 00:07:08.959
And you assumed this was what does one say, a

112
00:07:09.040 --> 00:07:10.879
crank letter and did nothing about it.

113
00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:12.720
That's right. We get a lot of pool letters.

114
00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:16.519
And because you took that attitude, fourteen people are dead,

115
00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:21.360
horribly dead. Yes, you said there were two letters.

116
00:07:22.040 --> 00:07:23.480
Let say here's the other one.

117
00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:30.959
Mm hmm to day the Tornado take warning and Alec's signature.

118
00:07:32.399 --> 00:07:34.639
The Tornado was the name of the airplane that crashed.

119
00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:38.319
Yes, John Elliott was piloting it and the oldest, safest

120
00:07:38.319 --> 00:07:40.800
pilot on the line. I can't understand it.

121
00:07:41.079 --> 00:07:44.680
I can, mister Warning. You can tell me when did

122
00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:45.560
you receive this letter?

123
00:07:45.959 --> 00:07:48.600
Not five minutes before the flash came if the tornado

124
00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:49.240
had crashed.

125
00:07:49.519 --> 00:07:52.839
He timed it very well. Yes, did you make any

126
00:07:52.879 --> 00:07:55.240
effort to trace this letter? No?

127
00:07:55.800 --> 00:07:59.319
Why well, there was so much excitement around the office.

128
00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:01.759
Of course, and so what you wish me to do?

129
00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:05.959
I haven't given this to the police, mister Saladeen. I

130
00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:10.000
will well the publicity. You know, people would think it's

131
00:08:10.040 --> 00:08:11.839
easy to smash one of our air landers.

132
00:08:12.600 --> 00:08:17.040
You understand, Yes, you wish me to find Elik to what.

133
00:08:17.120 --> 00:08:19.639
You do with him, mister Saladeen is no concern of mine,

134
00:08:19.959 --> 00:08:21.800
provided no more such things occur.

135
00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:25.279
Mister Warnham, I know eleick of old. His life is

136
00:08:25.319 --> 00:08:29.279
forfard a thousand times over. But he you yourselves have

137
00:08:29.319 --> 00:08:32.080
an old proverb. First catch your adding.

138
00:08:32.360 --> 00:08:35.200
You catch him Saladein, he'll be worth your while.

139
00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:38.679
Yes, yes, it will be very much worth my while,

140
00:08:38.759 --> 00:08:39.279
my friend.

141
00:08:40.039 --> 00:08:43.759
Can you get to work at once, mister Saladeen, I well,

142
00:08:44.039 --> 00:08:46.919
you can understand we're er upset.

143
00:08:47.039 --> 00:08:51.039
I understand. I promise nothing, mister Warner, except that I

144
00:08:51.039 --> 00:08:53.000
will try. No man may do more.

145
00:08:53.240 --> 00:08:55.279
Oh that's all that I can ask. You will go

146
00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:55.960
after him now?

147
00:08:56.279 --> 00:08:57.000
It is agreed?

148
00:08:57.279 --> 00:09:01.840
Good you er have a cigar, That says sir.

149
00:09:02.240 --> 00:09:05.480
Let me see that. Let me see it. Not the

150
00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:10.159
devil to that get in my park? Ha read it yourself,

151
00:09:10.240 --> 00:09:10.799
mister Warner.

152
00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:15.720
Oh yes, sir, you have been very foolish to go

153
00:09:15.799 --> 00:09:16.480
to Saladin.

154
00:09:17.480 --> 00:09:19.519
Now your fate is sealed.

155
00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:26.480
I will destroy your airplanes one by one, and when

156
00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:32.600
the time comes yourself. I have fought with Saladin before.

157
00:09:33.320 --> 00:09:37.120
He well knows this time is the last perrect.

158
00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:42.440
So, my friend, you have brought upon yourself. He knows

159
00:09:42.879 --> 00:09:54.039
how how could he down? Down on the pot? Score

160
00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:57.000
one for Saladin? I think, what what would you like

161
00:09:57.080 --> 00:09:59.440
to friend the window washer I just got sight of.

162
00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:08.799
Let us see what has happened, good Lord Salladen. A

163
00:10:08.919 --> 00:10:14.440
crowd gathers in the street below, morbid gazers un seven.

164
00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:31.080
Well o'clock, mister Saladeen, Thank you, Irene.

165
00:10:32.159 --> 00:10:32.679
If you are.

Mister Saladean, I give you my word, Irene. I'm afraid

168
00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:44.399

170
00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:48.519
I do want to help you, mister Saladean.

171
00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:51.919
Only listen to me one moment. Irene. Of fifty girls

172
00:10:51.960 --> 00:10:55.519
who applied for this position, I selected you. I've not

173
00:10:55.559 --> 00:10:59.399
told you why no I never could understand. It was

174
00:10:59.440 --> 00:11:03.399
for one reason, Ireen. You have the little, also very

175
00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:06.720
little psychic spark that is lacking, and all the other

176
00:11:06.759 --> 00:11:09.600
ones who came you do not know it yourself that

177
00:11:10.039 --> 00:11:14.919
Saladin knows. I must use you, but I shall not

178
00:11:15.159 --> 00:11:16.600
unless you consent hole haughtily.

179
00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:22.879
I'll do it, mister Saladeen. I trust you you.

180
00:11:22.879 --> 00:11:25.919
Will not lose by it, my child. Look, then we

00:11:33.799 --> 00:11:39.919

my child, say over and over to yourself. Early early er.

184
00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:53.240

And find him. I ren find find Berlick. Search deep

188
00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:31.000
in the crystal globe. Eric calls Elick. It desires Saladin

189
00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:32.080
that calls Elik.

190
00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:34.200
What do you want?

191
00:12:34.440 --> 00:12:39.240
Saladin? You will tell me where I shall find you. Elk, No,

192
00:12:40.600 --> 00:12:45.200
I shall not. You will tell Eric. No, I am

194
00:12:49.639 --> 00:12:53.159
you will tell me where to find you. I will

00:12:53.240 --> 00:13:02.360
not tell me. No, No, tell me in the tower.

196
00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:06.679
In the tower, I will not tell more.

204
00:13:36.840 --> 00:13:40.960

205
00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:47.519
remember by the five names I commanded, Elick. You will

206
00:13:47.600 --> 00:13:53.919

250
00:17:17.519 --> 00:17:18.839
All right? Excuse me?

251
00:17:18.880 --> 00:17:20.720
I do not think I catch your name.

252
00:17:20.799 --> 00:17:24.880
Please, My name is Art, Edward Art.

253
00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:30.079
I am pleased to meet you, monsieur. Oh you you

254
00:17:30.160 --> 00:17:32.559
know what I think? I remember that name.

255
00:17:32.759 --> 00:17:35.519
There was pilot named at They died two weeks ago

256
00:17:35.640 --> 00:17:36.720
on east end.

257
00:17:36.640 --> 00:17:39.359
Of the line. Is that so who he is?

258
00:17:39.400 --> 00:17:41.720
So he's a relative of you, monsieur?

259
00:17:42.319 --> 00:17:49.599
No, he is not relative. So you like me to

260
00:17:49.720 --> 00:17:50.880
fly here a little while?

261
00:17:51.319 --> 00:17:54.359
No, I am pilot of this ship.

262
00:17:55.440 --> 00:17:58.640
I will do the flying sabaieur.

263
00:18:13.160 --> 00:18:14.880
So you did.

264
00:18:14.759 --> 00:18:24.920
Find me after all? Saladin, the very clever Saladean. Well,

265
00:18:24.960 --> 00:18:27.799
I think this time the very clever Saladean has had.

266
00:18:27.640 --> 00:18:31.000
His last invention. No, I do not believe you will win, Elick.

267
00:18:31.640 --> 00:18:38.640
No I do, my dear enemy. I have not time

268
00:18:38.759 --> 00:18:41.039
not to find out you learned where my laboratory is.

269
00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:42.640
But there is time enough for that.

270
00:18:42.839 --> 00:18:46.000
It is simple enough. Eiling you talked in your sleep,

271
00:18:46.079 --> 00:18:53.240
you see, I remember now. I knew I had dreamed.

272
00:18:53.240 --> 00:18:57.559
But I forbad you to remember, Elick. Well, one little victory.

273
00:18:58.599 --> 00:19:02.519
I've waited a long time for this saladein yes, and failed.

274
00:19:02.079 --> 00:19:05.759
A great many times. I will not feel this time

275
00:19:05.920 --> 00:19:09.920
what is written is written. I should be interested in

276
00:19:09.960 --> 00:19:13.279
how you caused that airplane to grass yesterday, Alec, Yes.

277
00:19:15.319 --> 00:19:18.440
It was a simple saladein I am amazed at a

278
00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:19.480
man of your attainment.

279
00:19:20.559 --> 00:19:25.680
Well, I shall show you very soon. You will not

280
00:19:25.720 --> 00:19:26.599
tell anyone about it.

281
00:19:26.640 --> 00:19:30.440
I think I wonder they said there was no clue

282
00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:31.559
to the crass Saladin.

283
00:19:31.680 --> 00:19:34.839
Yes, would you like to know how? I think I

284
00:19:34.920 --> 00:19:40.799
know where? You too know something of black magic.

285
00:19:41.359 --> 00:19:44.920
I know a great deal of black magic, my friend.

286
00:19:45.559 --> 00:19:51.319
Shall I show you? Are you afraid of snakes? Saladin?

287
00:19:51.920 --> 00:19:52.440
No wedding.

288
00:19:53.119 --> 00:20:00.119
Let us see this bit of paper twisted so and

289
00:20:00.200 --> 00:20:00.880
you see it.

290
00:20:00.759 --> 00:20:06.319
Is but faith for salading? But now look at it

291
00:20:08.720 --> 00:20:14.640
a cobra. You are clever, Elick, but don't know harmless paper. Again,

292
00:20:18.720 --> 00:20:21.880
I am not entirely parles, Elick, even though my hands

293
00:20:21.920 --> 00:20:22.440
are bound.

294
00:20:22.920 --> 00:20:26.039
How did you I thought that only one man in

295
00:20:26.079 --> 00:20:27.200
the world, that's I am.

296
00:20:27.119 --> 00:20:32.279
The man, Elik. Look the paper closely again, I fear

297
00:20:33.119 --> 00:20:38.960
on the estimate you see it really is a snake, Alec.

298
00:20:39.079 --> 00:20:39.599
Curse you.

299
00:20:40.559 --> 00:20:43.480
I'll have your heart for that, perhaps, but perhaps you

300
00:20:43.480 --> 00:20:47.200
had better get to your zombies again. Zombies. How did

301
00:20:47.200 --> 00:20:49.799
you know it is possible that I read your mind? Elick?

302
00:20:50.279 --> 00:20:55.880
So well? You have guessed it. I told the full

303
00:20:55.960 --> 00:20:59.839
warner that I would smash every one of his planes. Nah,

304
00:21:00.480 --> 00:21:03.559
even now he is about to lose another. So and

305
00:21:03.640 --> 00:21:05.480
how do you propose to do with me? I ask,

306
00:21:08.119 --> 00:21:13.160
read my mind, Salady, you challenge me, Yes, very well,

307
00:21:13.200 --> 00:21:19.680
Then I read this. A living dead man is at

308
00:21:19.720 --> 00:21:23.920
the controls of the ship you intend to destroy. I

309
00:21:24.079 --> 00:21:27.559
do not know how you propose to control him. Are

310
00:21:27.720 --> 00:21:30.799
radially so he is to crash the ship full of

311
00:21:30.799 --> 00:21:34.200
passengers near an airport where all can see. I want

312
00:21:34.200 --> 00:21:34.880
a ladding.

313
00:21:36.519 --> 00:21:40.640
Until now I have regarded you as a meddler, a

314
00:21:40.680 --> 00:21:44.359
man foolishly staking his life against great adds.

315
00:21:45.359 --> 00:21:50.440
I am not so sure of the odds. Enough, Salad, Dean,

316
00:21:51.599 --> 00:21:54.880
you and I know lek. Between you and me there

317
00:21:54.880 --> 00:21:57.640
can be nothing but enmity. We have set a part

318
00:21:57.680 --> 00:22:01.119
to fight one another forever between know we could rule

319
00:22:01.160 --> 00:22:06.480
the world tomorrow, Salady, No between us, there is always war.

320
00:22:08.480 --> 00:22:13.079
Well, so be it then, but look for no mercy

321
00:22:13.119 --> 00:22:15.519
from me. I will kill you as I would have

322
00:22:15.519 --> 00:22:16.240
wrapped Saladin.

323
00:22:16.480 --> 00:22:18.200
Agreed, if you can.

324
00:22:19.359 --> 00:22:20.759
They're blocked in twin five.

325
00:22:21.160 --> 00:22:24.599
They're blocked in twink five to Chicago, specially with a

328
00:22:28.920 --> 00:22:32.400
So the first compact that is the ship. Then that

329
00:22:32.599 --> 00:22:35.119
is the ship. Yeah, that did not sound like the

330
00:22:35.200 --> 00:22:41.400
voice of a zombie, Elick, No, that is melody co pilot.

331
00:22:42.039 --> 00:22:46.839
He does the bidding of my dead man. So and

Five miles southeast of Chicago.

But you will do as I tell you.

339
00:23:16.319 --> 00:23:17.200
I will do.

340
00:23:17.440 --> 00:23:18.240
As you tell me.

341
00:23:18.480 --> 00:23:19.480
Who is speaking? Please?

342
00:23:19.519 --> 00:23:20.599
What is enough from you?

343
00:23:21.359 --> 00:23:22.359
He's silent here?

344
00:23:22.480 --> 00:23:25.599
Son, you are under Pilo dots orders la plan. You

345
00:23:25.599 --> 00:23:28.359

Yes, sir?

347
00:23:31.000 --> 00:23:31.480
Now up.

348
00:23:32.079 --> 00:23:34.400
When you arrive above the Chicago airport, you have to

349
00:23:34.440 --> 00:23:36.599
circle the field three times full motor.

350
00:23:36.960 --> 00:23:40.680
I am to circle the field three times full motor.

351
00:23:41.240 --> 00:23:42.920
And then when I give the word, you have to

352
00:23:43.000 --> 00:23:44.559
climb to two thousand feet.

353
00:23:44.960 --> 00:23:47.720
I am to climb to two thousand.

354
00:23:47.319 --> 00:23:51.359
Feet, and then I will tell you when you will

355
00:23:51.559 --> 00:23:53.119

356
00:23:53.039 --> 00:23:55.839
Will dive the ship full motor into the ground in

357
00:23:55.880 --> 00:23:56.920
the center of the field.

358
00:23:57.240 --> 00:24:00.440
I will dive the ship full motor into the center

359
00:24:00.480 --> 00:24:01.200
of the field.

360
00:24:01.680 --> 00:24:08.440
That is all I know, is amazing sliding all you

361
00:24:08.519 --> 00:24:09.680
have thought of everything else.

362
00:24:10.440 --> 00:24:14.200
Yes, this pilot he died two weeks ago.

363
00:24:15.039 --> 00:24:18.799
I secured his body. You add great robbery to your

364
00:24:18.839 --> 00:24:19.799
other clients.

365
00:24:19.920 --> 00:24:24.079
But of course I must have one that was a pilot.

366
00:24:24.240 --> 00:24:25.960
And you obeys without question.

367
00:24:26.119 --> 00:24:29.799
You see so far, yes, but you have not one yet.

368
00:24:30.359 --> 00:24:34.759
I am close enough, Saladin. I wonder what report your position?

369
00:24:35.400 --> 00:24:37.640
Southwest of Chicago Airport.

370
00:24:38.480 --> 00:24:39.799
I can see the field.

371
00:24:40.240 --> 00:24:41.440
Good. You are ready.

372
00:24:42.000 --> 00:24:42.839
I am ready.

373
00:24:43.440 --> 00:24:45.480
You're copilot, he is here.

374
00:24:46.240 --> 00:24:47.480
He will not interfere.

375
00:24:48.680 --> 00:24:50.559
Report when you are over the field.

376
00:24:51.039 --> 00:24:53.079
I will report when I am over the.

377
00:24:53.119 --> 00:24:56.480
Fieldlick, What would you do if I told you, zombie

378
00:24:56.519 --> 00:25:00.480
what to do? But you have to obey only come on,

379
00:25:01.119 --> 00:25:05.359
I will obey only alex Amans, do you mind if

380
00:25:05.400 --> 00:25:07.200
I talked to him go head?

381
00:25:07.240 --> 00:25:12.319
Then try leblon, leblon, because do you hear me?

382
00:25:12.400 --> 00:25:20.119
Leblon? I hear you, Master Sarah monsieur, But can't I'm

00:25:20.240 --> 00:25:24.559
sl be stop. What did you say to him? Saladein.

384
00:25:25.759 --> 00:25:31.119
You do not speak French, then, Eli, of course, certainly.

385
00:25:31.279 --> 00:25:32.920
Then you know that I asked him merely if there

386
00:25:32.960 --> 00:25:35.359
was anything he could do, and he replied that he

387
00:25:35.400 --> 00:25:39.440
could not, of course, But why did you I'm afraid

388
00:25:39.440 --> 00:25:43.599
that you are about to win, Eli, you admit it. Then,

389
00:25:43.839 --> 00:25:46.599
I am sorry. It is too late now.

390
00:25:47.079 --> 00:25:49.279
It is too late, Salade And I offered to join

391
00:25:49.400 --> 00:25:50.359

392
00:25:50.920 --> 00:25:54.319
But now I am the master not reporting.

I am over Chicago Airport now.

394
00:25:57.720 --> 00:25:59.440
But begin your circle.

395
00:25:59.839 --> 00:26:02.240
I will begin my circles.

396
00:26:02.240 --> 00:26:05.799
Now, friend Saladin. We shall see.

397
00:26:06.880 --> 00:26:11.759
Perhaps we shall even hear the scream, the dying screams

398
00:26:11.799 --> 00:26:14.720
of the passengers, and this doom shift.

399
00:26:15.680 --> 00:26:20.359

Did I see you on the field below.

404
00:26:32.319 --> 00:26:33.960

We will give them a show, live on, live on.

407
00:26:42.640 --> 00:26:45.759
You may speak to him as you wish, Saladein. It

408
00:26:45.839 --> 00:26:48.200
is too late now, and he is powerless.

409
00:26:48.319 --> 00:26:54.160
Yes, I'm afraid so, but are they good to say?

410
00:26:54.720 --> 00:26:58.519
