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.
166
00:10:32.559 --> 00:10:36.200
Ready, you you won't hurt me.
167
00:10:36.320 --> 00:10:41.559
Mister Saladean, I give you my word, Irene. I'm afraid
168
00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:44.399
you need have no fear. No harm can come to
169
00:10:44.440 --> 00:10:45.399
you while I live.
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

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

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,

00:12:49.639 --> 00:12:53.159

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

00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:47.519

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

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
326
00:22:24.680 --> 00:22:26.160
report breed they're.
327
00:22:26.000 --> 00:22:28.440
Block he five five from Chicago.
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
332
00:22:46.920 --> 00:22:51.920
now the little drama begins. Well you listen, it is
333
00:22:51.960 --> 00:22:55.960
your drama. Now quite so, my friend, I must.
334
00:22:55.880 --> 00:23:01.960
Get to work, Elick Colin in prit five, That MA airline,
335
00:23:02.599 --> 00:23:04.920
Elik calling paradot in trip five.
336
00:23:04.720 --> 00:23:10.519
That MA airline in five. I hear you give your position.
337
00:23:11.039 --> 00:23:13.720
Five miles southeast of Chicago.
338
00:23:14.240 --> 00:23:15.839
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
will do as you are torn. Who are you shackling island?
346
00:23:28.599 --> 00:23:30.440
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
tell me when and you.
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
383
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
forces with you once.
392
00:25:50.920 --> 00:25:54.319
But now I am the master not reporting.
393
00:25:55.160 --> 00:25:57.279
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
It is a wonderful invention. This radio true magic. Yes,
400
00:26:20.759 --> 00:26:23.680

401
00:26:23.720 --> 00:26:27.480
are ready, Hank, I will tell you. Make your circle.
402
00:26:28.000 --> 00:26:29.559
I am making a circle.
403
00:26:29.960 --> 00:26:32.319
Did I see you on the field below.
404
00:26:32.319 --> 00:26:33.960
Many people are coming.
405
00:26:33.680 --> 00:26:37.079
Out to watch good We will give them a show.
406
00:26:37.640 --> 00:26:40.720
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
