00:00:09.320 --> 00:00:13.039
Ah, so good of you to join me again, My dear,
2
00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:14.679
what's that?
3
00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:15.720
Oh?
4
00:00:15.759 --> 00:00:24.120
Well, I'm positively jovial. How are you good? Good?
5
00:00:24.879 --> 00:00:25.160
Well?
6
00:00:25.239 --> 00:00:28.160
Regardless, we're going to have a fine time to night
7
00:00:28.280 --> 00:00:31.239
as we get a little bit of a chill going
8
00:00:32.200 --> 00:00:36.039
during the hot summer months. I hear the sun is
9
00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:40.719
absolutely blazing as of late. Of course I wouldn't know,
10
00:00:40.840 --> 00:00:43.520
but that's not here nor there.
11
00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:32.959
Street Theater Presents come in. Welcome, I'm e. G. Marshall.
12
00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:37.879
Welcome to another hour of mystery and suspense, to a
13
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:43.560
terrifying battle of wits. Our play poses a dilemma you
14
00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:48.120
have never faced or are likely to face in your lifetime,
15
00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:53.079
whether to commit the murder in your heart when your
16
00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:57.359
mind tells you to restrain yourself. Listen to what happened
17
00:01:57.359 --> 00:02:01.560
to one man, Thomas Drake, who did face that dilemma,
18
00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:08.479
and what he did about it. Professor Bowery, if you're
19
00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:11.120
a pand of memories, you've got to tell him to
20
00:02:11.240 --> 00:02:16.120
stay away from my wife. Really now, Drake, I don't
21
00:02:16.199 --> 00:02:18.719
like to interfere in the personal life of faculty. You
22
00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:22.120
must you must tell him, or I won't be responsible.
23
00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:27.319
I don't want to kill him, but I don't trust myself.
24
00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:31.159
Come now, Drake, Sensible people don't solve their marital problems
25
00:02:31.240 --> 00:02:45.840
like that with murder. Our mystery drama Under Grave Suspicion
26
00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:49.879
was written especially for the Mystery theater by Hank Warner
27
00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:54.639
and stars Ralph Bell. It is sponsored in part by
28
00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:59.039
the Kellogg Company, makers of Kellogg's Special Case cereal, and
29
00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:03.719
by Anheuser Busch Incorporated brewers. A Budweiser I'll be back
30
00:03:03.759 --> 00:03:05.439
shortly with that one.
31
00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:12.400
You've seen the Budweiser commercials on television, and maybe you've
32
00:03:12.439 --> 00:03:15.439
wondered how long people have been putting that famous Bud
33
00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:18.479
label on things. Well, not as long as the brewers
34
00:03:18.520 --> 00:03:21.719
of Bud have been putting things on the label, things
35
00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:25.840
like a list of Bud's most important ingredients quote brewed
36
00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:28.879
by our original process from the choicest hops, rice and
37
00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:33.240
best barley mob and things like the following statement, this
38
00:03:33.319 --> 00:03:33.599
is the.
39
00:03:33.560 --> 00:03:34.919
Famous Budweiser beer.
40
00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:37.800
We know of no brand produced by any other brewer
41
00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:41.639
which costs so much to brew and age. Our exclusive
42
00:03:41.639 --> 00:03:45.439
beechwood aging produces a taste of smoothness and a drinkability
43
00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:48.719
you will find in no other beer at any price.
44
00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:54.520
Unquote Yes, brewing beer right does make a difference. Read
45
00:03:54.599 --> 00:03:58.280
the bud label, taste the King of Beers and you'll
46
00:03:58.280 --> 00:04:00.879
agree when you say Budweiser.
47
00:04:01.400 --> 00:04:05.960
You said it all. And Isaac Bush Saint Louis.
48
00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:14.360
Hey where the action cars see? We contribute more geez
49

High.
51
00:04:17.959 --> 00:04:20.160
Our ideals are high.
52
00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:23.680
Oh, hon't you apply means?
53
00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:26.040
It's now that we need you.

00:04:27.399 --> 00:04:32.199
And we could go on all day.
55
00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:39.160
Oh, here's what volunteers are reading right away.
56
00:04:39.839 --> 00:04:43.439
Action is besta the Peace Corps, rsv P, SCORE and
57
00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:46.600
other volunteer programs that are helping people to help themselves.
58
00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:49.079

59
00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:52.680
love to share, Action needs you.
60
00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:57.279
Yeah, baby, Action really.
61
00:04:56.959 --> 00:05:02.560
The don't crawl over the rock, get into action.
62
00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:07.639
Oh this is the public service of this station and
63
00:05:07.759 --> 00:05:08.839
the Advertising Council.
64
00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:21.480
Have you ever.
65
00:05:21.279 --> 00:05:27.240
Returned home late one night and listened in the still darkness,
66
00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:31.879
tense and trembling, hoping and praying that you would not
67
00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:37.519
hear the whispered passions of your wife and the stranger,
68
00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:43.160
fearful that you could not would not control a blinding
69
00:05:43.439 --> 00:05:49.360
fury to kill that man getting out of the car
70
00:05:49.639 --> 00:05:53.439
on that dark, dead end road on the windswept bluff,
71
00:05:54.079 --> 00:05:58.680
overlooking the desolate Long Island Sound Beach. Hurrying by cloud
72
00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:02.279
veiled moonlight down the winding footpath through the scrub pines
73
00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:09.399
that brushed to his isolated cottage is Thomas Drake, despondent, depressed.
74
00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:14.199
I should have telephoned, given her some warning that i'd
75
00:06:14.199 --> 00:06:17.759
be home a night earlier, But deep down I had
76
00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:20.839
the feeling that I still couldn't trust her, and I
77
00:06:20.879 --> 00:06:25.000
had to find out. I hurried towards the cottage one
78
00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:28.160
rig whire there were no lights on, wondering whether she
79
00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:31.519
was asleep alone.
80
00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:31.759
Or with.
81
00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:36.279
I walked around from the back of the house across.
82
00:06:35.879 --> 00:06:41.680
The gravel mound toward the waterside portsteps, not caring whether
83
00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:45.439
the crunch of my footsteps could be heard inside. The
84
00:06:45.480 --> 00:06:48.959
only other sound was my pounding heart and the surf
85
00:06:49.160 --> 00:06:53.720
washing the loose gravel off the burns. The half moon
86
00:06:54.199 --> 00:06:58.639
slipped behind the bank of black clouds, and in the darkness,
87
00:06:58.839 --> 00:07:01.800
I shut over the shovel, lept lying on the gravel.
88
00:07:02.600 --> 00:07:07.279
I kicked it away. I went up the point steps
89
00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:11.879
to the front door. I trotted it was not locked,
90
00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:16.399
and I stepped inside and listened.
91
00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:25.879
I called out Marianne. The bedroom door was closed. I
92
00:07:25.959 --> 00:07:26.560
opened the door.
93
00:07:27.720 --> 00:07:33.920
I stared at the walls, which the ceilings flooded, an empty,
94
00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:34.519
made up bed.
95
00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:41.720
I went to the kitchen, turned on. The knife was
96
00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:43.160
swept and tidy.
97
00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:47.399
The count of the sink, the stowtop bare and dry,
98
00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:53.000
not a trace of food particles, no lingering, cooking odors,
99
00:07:53.800 --> 00:07:59.439
the dishmak dish, tongue bone dry. I needed to drink.
100
00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:03.279
Calmed down, and I reached for the bottle of bourbon
101
00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:10.160
in the kitchen. Cabiny poured myself a stiff one, wondering
102
00:08:10.959 --> 00:08:16.439
where she was. The drink only added fuel to my
103
00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:21.600
slow burn. I flushed with waves of anger. I had
104
00:08:21.600 --> 00:08:25.279
to get out in the air to think. I put
105
00:08:25.279 --> 00:08:27.800
out the house lights, carry the bottle in the grass
106
00:08:27.800 --> 00:08:35.440
of the porch, and settled down to wait. The cool
107
00:08:35.840 --> 00:08:40.240
onshore wind on my face, the moon playing hide and
108
00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:44.240
seek with the dark clouds, the lights of Connecticut blinking
109
00:08:44.279 --> 00:08:48.279
across ten miles of black water, the old field light,
110
00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:53.919
alternating beams of green and red. It was RESTful, but
111
00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:58.080
as I nursed the bourbon, I couldn't altogether get her
112
00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:02.480
out of my mind, my thoughts wandering back in time,
113
00:09:04.200 --> 00:09:08.559
wondering if she'd left me or would once.
114
00:09:08.320 --> 00:09:11.159
Again like the first time before we were married.
115
00:09:12.320 --> 00:09:17.360
We're living together in my apartment on Manhattan's swinging east Side.
116
00:09:17.960 --> 00:09:21.799
Two modern sensible singles, willing to give it a try.
117
00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:30.840
I had a job, and good job. I was a
118
00:09:30.919 --> 00:09:35.919
vice president with Electronics Engineering. I got home at night.
119
00:09:36.960 --> 00:09:40.279
It was Friday night, about eight o'clock as I let
120
00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:40.879
myself in.
121
00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:44.080
Yes, yes, I heard her talking on the phone.
122
00:09:44.200 --> 00:09:47.399
Come on after, Oh, ask the doorman to hold a cat.
123
00:09:49.279 --> 00:09:50.159
He just got home?
124
00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:53.559
Or who was that Jack Harrison?
125
00:09:54.519 --> 00:09:55.039
Of course?
126
00:09:55.840 --> 00:09:57.279
What else you know?
127
00:09:57.440 --> 00:10:00.320
I'm getting tired of his hanging around. Why did you
128
00:10:00.360 --> 00:10:01.519
tell him to stop calling you?
129
00:10:02.440 --> 00:10:02.960
He didn't.
130
00:10:03.799 --> 00:10:07.879
I called him. You look so surprised, Thomas.
131
00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:10.600
You don't have the time anymore for anything but dear
132
00:10:10.639 --> 00:10:12.320
old Electronics Engineering.
133
00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:14.799
We didn't phone me. You wouldn't be home for dinner,
134
00:10:14.879 --> 00:10:18.159
so I called him. There's a movie I want.
135
00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:20.240
That's the third time this week.
136
00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:23.480
Oh, I didn't know you were counting, Darling.
137
00:10:29.440 --> 00:10:35.159
I waited that night watching television, dozing fitfully.
138
00:10:36.080 --> 00:10:39.399
My mind going back to the smiles and looks they
139
00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:43.159
had exchanges they left. I could see them after the
140
00:10:43.159 --> 00:10:47.360
movies going to the Purple Comedy for nightcaps and the
141
00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:51.600
wild rock of the patting cougars, and then sense of
142
00:10:51.720 --> 00:10:57.240
stimulated bodies pulsating with savage beats to spend the night
143
00:10:57.960 --> 00:11:06.039
with him. I was awakened from my sleep in the
144
00:11:06.120 --> 00:11:09.000
chair by the buzzing TV set.
145
00:11:12.279 --> 00:11:13.240
It was four o'clock.
146
00:11:14.679 --> 00:11:17.399
I fought off the idea of phoning her at Harrison's apartment.
147
00:11:18.759 --> 00:11:23.039
I had no one but myself to blame. We had agreed,
148
00:11:23.279 --> 00:11:26.840
like two sensible moderns, if there'd be no strings, that
149
00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:30.399
we'd be free to live our own lives, and for
150
00:11:30.440 --> 00:11:34.159
the first time, I admitted to myself I didn't want
151
00:11:34.159 --> 00:11:41.240
that freedom. By ten o'clock that morning, I couldn't stand it.
152
00:11:42.200 --> 00:11:47.159
I phoned Harrison's apartment. There was no answer. I went
153
00:11:47.200 --> 00:11:49.240
down to the lobby reception desk to get the mail.
154
00:11:49.759 --> 00:11:52.279
It hadn't arrived yet, but the clerk handed me an
155
00:11:52.360 --> 00:11:55.879
unstamped envelope my name an apartment number on it in
156
00:11:55.960 --> 00:11:57.080
Mary Anne's handwriting.
157
00:11:57.799 --> 00:11:58.559
I tore it open.
158
00:12:00.039 --> 00:12:02.639
Dear, I'm sorry.
159
00:12:02.919 --> 00:12:04.519
I think it would be best for both of.
160
00:12:04.480 --> 00:12:05.960
Us to cod quits.
161
00:12:06.360 --> 00:12:07.200
I'm going away.
162
00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:11.399
There was no date on the plain white notepaper, no
163
00:12:11.480 --> 00:12:15.320
imprint of name and address, no forwarding address, just signed
164
00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:20.519
Mary Anne. I refuse to believe in. I hurried right
165
00:12:20.559 --> 00:12:24.279
back up to the apartment to have bedroom closets. Her
166
00:12:24.320 --> 00:12:30.000
clothes were gone. I got through the day somehow in
167
00:12:30.080 --> 00:12:33.519
a daze. But the next day, when I went out
168
00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:36.039
to get the sunlit paper and returned to the apartment,
169
00:12:38.399 --> 00:12:40.480
there she was unpacking.
170
00:12:41.720 --> 00:12:43.360
I changed my mind.
171
00:12:46.519 --> 00:12:50.600
Let's have a drink. Want to tell me?
172
00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:55.159
There's not much to tell. He told me, as a
173
00:12:55.200 --> 00:12:58.960
wife three children in Connecticut that she won't let him go.
174
00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:01.000
We couldn't marry me.
175
00:13:02.960 --> 00:13:06.399
Marry you?
176
00:13:04.679 --> 00:13:15.480
You want to get married? Is that all you want
177
00:13:15.559 --> 00:13:16.440
to get married?
178
00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:21.360
Will you marry me?
179
00:13:22.840 --> 00:13:23.080
Yes?
180
00:13:25.039 --> 00:13:40.840
Yeah, now here I am waiting once again, like two
181
00:13:41.039 --> 00:13:42.320
sensible moderns.
182
00:13:42.919 --> 00:13:44.320
We adjusted the marriage.
183
00:13:45.559 --> 00:13:48.759
We seem to be making a go of it until
184
00:13:48.759 --> 00:13:53.440
I lost my job and the cutbacks and government contracts.
185
00:13:54.480 --> 00:13:58.159
We subleased the apartment, moved to the cottage to make
186
00:13:58.200 --> 00:14:03.080
the rounds of electronic firms on more. And I sat
187
00:14:03.159 --> 00:14:08.639
there on the porch waiting, once again, looking up and
188
00:14:08.679 --> 00:14:12.159
down the beach, and suddenly I saw a flashlight about
189
00:14:12.200 --> 00:14:15.519
one hundred yards down. The beach had moved around, but
190
00:14:15.559 --> 00:14:18.679
it did not advance, and then it went out.
191
00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:20.600
I listened.
192
00:14:21.559 --> 00:14:24.240
The crunch of footsteps on gravel carried by the wind
193
00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:27.720
grew louder. I could make out the silhouettes of a
194
00:14:27.799 --> 00:14:32.559
man and a fishing rod on his shoulder. He was alone,
195
00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:36.759
hugging the waterline. As he came abreast, I called out
196
00:14:37.480 --> 00:14:41.679
a lock. Was Professor Mawory of the State University Marine
197
00:14:41.720 --> 00:14:43.720
Laboratory at nearby flags Pond.
198
00:14:44.200 --> 00:14:47.000
Oh, not a thing. I was hoping to pick up
199
00:14:47.000 --> 00:14:50.399
a striper. The line got snarled in the reel, too
200
00:14:50.600 --> 00:14:53.720
tangled to bother with. Tonight, I'm just having a nightcap.
201
00:14:54.440 --> 00:14:58.279
It's you, Johnny, professor. Yeah, I could stand one short
202
00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:07.600
one getting a bit nippy. We talked. He sipt this whiskey.
203
00:15:07.960 --> 00:15:09.240
I don't know how many I had.
204
00:15:10.559 --> 00:15:13.519
He talked about projects at the Marine lab, the need
205
00:15:13.559 --> 00:15:17.639
for more state funds for research on wetlands water pollution, erosion.
206
00:15:19.000 --> 00:15:21.720
He knew I was trying to get relocated. Had given
207
00:15:21.759 --> 00:15:23.960
me a letter to an executive at the Grumming Planet.
208
00:15:24.600 --> 00:15:29.519
Hear anything from Grumming, No another thing. I'm about exhausted
209
00:15:29.600 --> 00:15:32.480
the job possibilities on Long Island. I spent yesterday and
210
00:15:32.480 --> 00:15:37.799
today in New England. Well, thanks for the drink. I'm
211
00:15:37.840 --> 00:15:39.639
sure the job market will open up.
212
00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:40.240
Guys.
213
00:15:40.360 --> 00:15:46.360
Say hello to missus Drake. Thanks Dr Mawory. Yes, would
214
00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:50.960
you do me a favor? Favor be you're a friend
215
00:15:50.960 --> 00:15:55.600
of Emory Richard Emery. I know you know him, but
216
00:15:55.679 --> 00:15:59.600
are you a friend of his? Well, he's one of
217
00:15:59.679 --> 00:16:02.399
several new young chaps doing post doctor at work at
218
00:16:02.399 --> 00:16:03.200
the Marine Lab.
219
00:16:04.279 --> 00:16:07.320
It's a small group and we're all more or less friendly.
220
00:16:07.360 --> 00:16:11.240
I mean, will he listen to you as a friend?
221
00:16:11.919 --> 00:16:12.240
Listen?
222
00:16:12.360 --> 00:16:12.559
Yes?
223
00:16:14.279 --> 00:16:19.000
Tell him to stay away from my wife? Well, Emory,
224
00:16:19.320 --> 00:16:22.279
your wife, that's right. Don't ask me how I know
225
00:16:23.919 --> 00:16:24.480
little things.
226
00:16:24.519 --> 00:16:24.759
I know.
227
00:16:24.919 --> 00:16:31.039
I come home tonight, she's not home. I know. Well
228
00:16:31.200 --> 00:16:34.360
it's rather personal matter. I don't feel I have the
229
00:16:34.440 --> 00:16:38.120
right to meddle in the personal affairs of a faculty member.
230
00:16:38.279 --> 00:16:42.440
He doesn't, I'll kill him now, Drake, don't talk like that.
231
00:16:42.759 --> 00:16:46.120
Sensible people don't solve such problems like that. That's what
232
00:16:46.159 --> 00:16:50.679
I always thought. But now look, Greg, if you don't
233
00:16:50.679 --> 00:16:55.240
mind my giving you some advice, why don't you just
234
00:16:55.279 --> 00:16:59.080
get a divorce or separation? You just tell Emory to
235
00:16:59.080 --> 00:17:03.720
stay away from her. You must tell him Mary, you
236
00:17:03.840 --> 00:17:09.440
must I don't want to kill him, but I'm afraid.
237
00:17:10.640 --> 00:17:15.759
But they're breaking point. You tell him, Mary, tell him.
238
00:17:15.880 --> 00:17:21.640
If you don't, you'll share the responsibility. Tom, you're overwrought.
239
00:17:21.960 --> 00:17:26.400
You feel better in the morning, all right, I'll talk
240
00:17:26.519 --> 00:17:38.960
to him, Marie. Thanks, good night. Tom.
241
00:17:39.000 --> 00:17:42.279
I picked at the bottle. It still had about one
242
00:17:42.359 --> 00:17:47.400
drink in it. I walked down to the waterline. I
243
00:17:47.440 --> 00:17:51.599
swallowed what was left in the bottle, and with swelling anger,
244
00:17:51.720 --> 00:17:55.559
I flung it into the waves. I turned back towards
245
00:17:55.599 --> 00:18:00.440
some cottage who stopped. I saw a flash light down
246
00:18:00.519 --> 00:18:05.759
the beach. I can make out two persons walking towards me,
247
00:18:07.240 --> 00:18:11.200
and then the light was outs and silhouetted against the
248
00:18:11.279 --> 00:18:18.240
night sky, two forms embraced as one, and then carried
249
00:18:18.319 --> 00:18:20.920
by the wind rising out of the northeast. I heard
250
00:18:21.440 --> 00:18:26.880
the teasing laughter of Mary Anne.
251
00:18:30.799 --> 00:18:34.960
Well, there may be laughter in the wind, but for
252
00:18:35.079 --> 00:18:40.000
poor Tom, this is no time for levity. Wonder whether
253
00:18:40.079 --> 00:18:43.599
he knows that it's an ill wind and will blow
254
00:18:43.720 --> 00:18:48.720
him no good. I'll be back shortly with that too.
255
00:18:49.279 --> 00:18:53.799
Making the lords and jealous jealous and on the lan.
256
00:18:57.160 --> 00:19:00.279
This is Jerry Coffer for Killogg's Special k you know,
257
00:19:00.319 --> 00:19:02.799
for years we've been talking about the Special K Breakfast,
258
00:19:02.920 --> 00:19:04.440
a great way to start the day if you have
259
00:19:04.480 --> 00:19:06.680
a weight problem. You may have seen or heard our
260
00:19:06.720 --> 00:19:09.640
latest commercials which symbolize the problem of being a few
261
00:19:09.680 --> 00:19:12.480
pounds overweight by using this ball and chain.
262
00:19:13.079 --> 00:19:14.079
That's the sound effect.
263
00:19:14.519 --> 00:19:16.359
But so many people have come to know the Special
264
00:19:16.400 --> 00:19:19.480
Care breakfast that can help solve weight problems. They sometimes
265
00:19:19.519 --> 00:19:22.599
forget that Special K is America's favorite high protein cereal.
266
00:19:22.880 --> 00:19:25.960
It has eight essential vitamins and iron and so delicious
267
00:19:25.960 --> 00:19:28.400
that lots of folks, kids as well as adults, eat
268
00:19:28.440 --> 00:19:30.559
Special K just for the sheer, good taste of it.
269
00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:32.359
So we don't want you to think that you have
270
00:19:32.400 --> 00:19:34.759
to wear a ball and chain to eat Special K.
271
00:19:35.119 --> 00:19:37.400
All you need is an appreciation for the finer things
272
00:19:37.400 --> 00:19:39.920
of life, a one ounce bowl of Special K, four
273
00:19:39.960 --> 00:19:42.720
ounces of skim milk, tomato juice, coffee, and maybe a
274
00:19:42.720 --> 00:19:45.440
little sugar. The Special Care Breakfast can help you lose
275
00:19:45.480 --> 00:19:48.039
weight all by itself, but it really is a good start.
276
00:19:51.599 --> 00:19:54.279
Who knows you going to help you solve your shopping
277
00:19:54.400 --> 00:19:58.839
top loves not better business your owns.
278
00:20:00.200 --> 00:20:03.680
Wednesday, ten o'clock, I'm back at the office. Working on
279
00:20:03.720 --> 00:20:07.400
the case. When my secretary brings me the mail, Thanks kid,
280
00:20:08.559 --> 00:20:13.920
the usual stuff. Then I see it. It's addressed to
281
00:20:13.960 --> 00:20:18.440
me resident inside a fake rabbit's foot, A pitch a
282
00:20:18.480 --> 00:20:21.119
two dollars donation or send back the rabbit's foot.
283
00:20:22.119 --> 00:20:24.200
My problem, what to do about it?
284
00:20:28.960 --> 00:20:32.200
I'll help you with good advice from the Better Business Bureau.
285
00:20:32.480 --> 00:20:34.240
Oh yeah, spill it.
286
00:20:34.799 --> 00:20:38.599
If you receive unordered merchandise in the mail, you are
287
00:20:38.680 --> 00:20:42.359
under no obligation to return it or pay for it.
288
00:20:42.920 --> 00:20:45.079
Thanks Perl, You're okay.
289
00:20:45.960 --> 00:20:49.640
Just another consumer tip from your Better Business Bureau.
290
00:21:03.240 --> 00:21:06.960
Now what's a fella to do? Poor Tom Drake is
291
00:21:06.960 --> 00:21:11.039
in the dark and all at sea, wondering where he
292
00:21:11.119 --> 00:21:15.200
ought to be or not to be. But let's not
293
00:21:15.279 --> 00:21:19.720
blow the man down. Just lend me your ears and
294
00:21:19.839 --> 00:21:20.519
we'll listen.
295
00:21:25.480 --> 00:21:29.279
Their embrace in the dark was brief, and they started
296
00:21:29.319 --> 00:21:33.960
walking towards the cottage without using the flash light first
297
00:21:33.960 --> 00:21:36.880
foot second. I thought of walking towards them for a showdown,
298
00:21:37.880 --> 00:21:40.640
but Maloris promised to talk to Emory made me put
299
00:21:40.640 --> 00:21:44.039
aside the impulse. A duck behind the line of boulders
300
00:21:44.079 --> 00:21:47.799
had formed a breakwater above a high water line. They
301
00:21:47.839 --> 00:21:51.359
stopped in front of the cottage from behind the boulders.
302
00:21:51.400 --> 00:21:52.920
I watched and listened.
303
00:21:53.920 --> 00:21:56.079
Ah, that was a good hike.
304
00:21:57.000 --> 00:21:57.799
Let's go inside.
305
00:21:58.519 --> 00:22:01.480
Let's sit out here for a while. It's such a
306
00:22:01.640 --> 00:22:05.480
beautiful night. I'd like a cigarette.
307
00:22:06.720 --> 00:22:10.960
He sat down beside her, struck a match, cupped it
308
00:22:10.960 --> 00:22:12.799
in his hands, and held it to the cigarette in
309
00:22:12.839 --> 00:22:17.319
her lips. In the glow from the match flame, her
310
00:22:17.319 --> 00:22:20.920
face flushed, her eyes dreamy with desire.
311
00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:25.240
I knew I would never give her a I'm going
312
00:22:25.240 --> 00:22:28.599
out to Montalk next week. It's a long Monday holiday weekend.
313
00:22:29.599 --> 00:22:32.519
How about coming with me. I'd love to, but.
314
00:22:34.000 --> 00:22:36.200
I have to figure out some excuse to be away.
315
00:22:36.559 --> 00:22:42.400
Figure that should be any problem. Pretty clever about such things,
316
00:22:43.160 --> 00:22:46.640
I'll think of something. I couldn't help thinking.
317
00:22:46.799 --> 00:22:50.680
She was pretty clever about such things, Like the night
318
00:22:50.759 --> 00:22:59.039
she went with that very clever Harrison leading around. I'll
319
00:22:59.079 --> 00:23:05.160
never forget that Friday night, and now another Friday nights.
320
00:23:05.279 --> 00:23:07.960
Come on, let's go inside. You said he won't be
321
00:23:08.000 --> 00:23:08.640
back tonight.
322
00:23:08.960 --> 00:23:12.079
Oh relax, Richie, you mean to tell me.
323
00:23:12.079 --> 00:23:16.559
You prefer this cold gravel to a nice comfortable couch.
324
00:23:16.720 --> 00:23:18.839
Come on, very and oh.
325
00:23:19.640 --> 00:23:23.480
What's wrong with staying out? Here, oh Mark, I was
326
00:23:23.559 --> 00:23:27.319
content with a hat, jack wine and loaded for the
327
00:23:27.400 --> 00:23:28.519
bread beneath the ball.
328
00:23:29.400 --> 00:23:32.279
Not bad off.
329
00:23:32.279 --> 00:23:34.079
The laughter broke off suddenly.
330
00:23:35.240 --> 00:23:38.440
I saw the glowing tips of two flipped cigarettes and
331
00:23:38.480 --> 00:23:41.640
then kiss me Richie, crazy about it?
332
00:23:42.599 --> 00:23:46.680
Stop it, Stop it, cam you.
333
00:23:46.319 --> 00:23:47.240
Marian, and go inside.
334
00:23:47.599 --> 00:23:48.039
Go inside.
335
00:23:48.720 --> 00:23:50.920
Why if you have anything to say, you can say
336
00:23:50.960 --> 00:23:52.000
it here in front of Richard.
337
00:23:52.119 --> 00:23:58.160
Go inside alone. He broke my grip on a arm
338
00:23:58.359 --> 00:24:01.680
and pushed me away. The sharp made me slip to
339
00:24:01.720 --> 00:24:02.319
my knee.
340
00:24:02.599 --> 00:24:05.799
I came up, swinging at first and missed it in
341
00:24:05.920 --> 00:24:07.000
my arms from behind her.
342
00:24:07.119 --> 00:24:11.119
Listen, what's the matter with you? Are you crazy? I
343
00:24:11.200 --> 00:24:14.319
broke out of his whip, stepped back from him, and
344
00:24:14.440 --> 00:24:18.359
fell across the shovel. I grabbed the handle, jumped up no,
345
00:24:19.480 --> 00:24:22.319
and swung at Emory, too late for me to stop
346
00:24:22.400 --> 00:24:25.319
the swing. As she rushed in between us, the sharp
347
00:24:25.440 --> 00:24:27.279
edge of the shovel hit her in the back of
348
00:24:27.279 --> 00:24:27.680
the head.
349
00:24:28.079 --> 00:24:30.880
Oh my god.
350
00:24:32.559 --> 00:24:39.079
I stood there holding the shovel, unable to move, my
351
00:24:39.200 --> 00:24:43.519
eyes fixed on her face. As Emory knelt down over
352
00:24:43.559 --> 00:24:44.720
her with a flashlight.
353
00:24:46.200 --> 00:24:52.160
I watched her face and prayed, prayed she wouldn't die.
354
00:24:53.240 --> 00:24:56.240
I trembled with fear and anguish, telling myself this couldn't be.
355
00:24:56.400 --> 00:24:59.920
It was a nightmare. Hemory turned the flashlight on me.
356
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:04.559
I studied my trembling lips, my glazed eyes fixed on
357
00:25:04.640 --> 00:25:12.440
Mary Anne. She's she's dead. I heard him, but didn't answer.
358
00:25:13.839 --> 00:25:17.079
I couldn't take my eyes off Drake, because you knew
359
00:25:17.160 --> 00:25:22.200
what I said. She's dead. You killed her. You better
360
00:25:22.240 --> 00:25:23.759
go in the house and call the police.
361
00:25:24.599 --> 00:25:29.519
I looked at him, puzzled, my mind, my eyes, my
362
00:25:29.680 --> 00:25:32.759
memory playing tricks on me, wondering.
363
00:25:33.000 --> 00:25:33.759
Who he was.
364
00:25:35.279 --> 00:25:42.000
Harrison, Jack Harrison, mocking me the night he took her
365
00:25:42.039 --> 00:25:45.400
to the movie, telling me we'll be back. What's the
366
00:25:45.480 --> 00:25:48.240
matter with you, Drake, don't you hear me? Call the police.
367
00:25:49.599 --> 00:25:51.759
I'll tell them. I'll say it was an accident.
368
00:25:51.839 --> 00:25:55.200
She tried to stick. I don't think you've heard of
369
00:25:55.240 --> 00:25:55.799
what I said.
370
00:25:57.599 --> 00:26:01.039
I'll call the police myself, worry drawing Harrison.
371
00:26:01.160 --> 00:26:07.400
Call up, who's Harrison, I'm Memory, Richard Emory, Drake.
372
00:26:09.359 --> 00:26:12.079
I'll be right back. Don't turn your back on me.
373
00:26:14.160 --> 00:26:17.200
Look back. As I swung the shovel, his mouth open,
374
00:26:17.359 --> 00:26:23.279
his eyes unbeleeving, he went down. I hit him again.
375
00:26:25.519 --> 00:26:28.039
He was still lying on his face.
376
00:26:29.279 --> 00:26:34.039
I staggered, gasping for air, my head pounding, thousands of
377
00:26:34.079 --> 00:26:38.759
pinpoints of light exploding inside my head. I sank down
378
00:26:38.759 --> 00:26:41.279
on the steps of the porch, holding my head in
379
00:26:41.359 --> 00:26:45.400
my hands, trying to clear my head, groping to recall
380
00:26:46.119 --> 00:26:52.599
understand what had happened to me, to them. Slowly the
381
00:26:52.759 --> 00:26:58.480
horror of it all returned. Mary Anne was dead. I
382
00:26:58.559 --> 00:27:02.480
turned the other body face up. It was not Harrison,
383
00:27:04.279 --> 00:27:14.279
it was Emory. I don't know how long I sat
384
00:27:14.319 --> 00:27:19.599
there on the porch steps. Finally I faced it. I
385
00:27:19.680 --> 00:27:22.960
decided to try to get rid of the bodies, bury
386
00:27:23.000 --> 00:27:27.680
them temporarily, and the gravel burn. I'd have to get
387
00:27:27.720 --> 00:27:32.319
a small boat, that rowboat in the woods just above
388
00:27:32.319 --> 00:27:35.559
the flock waterline, stored by one of these summer residents.
389
00:27:36.759 --> 00:27:40.200
I'd drow the bodies out to the channel, wait them
390
00:27:41.079 --> 00:27:42.079
drop them overboard.
391
00:27:42.119 --> 00:27:45.880
On an outgoing tide, the strong current on the bottom
392
00:27:45.920 --> 00:27:48.759
of the channel would move them out to the sea.
393
00:27:49.480 --> 00:27:53.480
The loose scravel was only about three feet deep. It
394
00:27:53.519 --> 00:27:57.519
would be deep enough to hide them. I dragged the
395
00:27:57.559 --> 00:28:04.640
bodies over, laid them in, and then covered them, building
396
00:28:04.680 --> 00:28:06.839
up the gravel mound the same height as the burn
397
00:28:06.880 --> 00:28:13.279
that ran parallel to the water level. I inspected the shovel.
398
00:28:14.359 --> 00:28:18.319
The metal glistened clean, no sign of blood or hair.
399
00:28:19.440 --> 00:28:24.279
I studded against the porch rail went inside. I sprawled
400
00:28:24.319 --> 00:28:28.279
out on the bed, exhausted and fell into a heavy,
401
00:28:28.519 --> 00:28:40.799
dreamless sleep. I woke up the next morning about an
402
00:28:40.799 --> 00:28:46.279
hour after sunrise, my mind clear, instantly aware of what
403
00:28:46.359 --> 00:28:50.000
had happened, what I had done. I jumped off the bed,
404
00:28:50.160 --> 00:28:53.640
went to the porch door, looked at the gravel graves
405
00:28:54.079 --> 00:29:00.160
on the burn. It looked natural, peaceful, like a cemetery.
406
00:29:01.160 --> 00:29:04.599
I knew what I had to do. I put on
407
00:29:04.640 --> 00:29:08.880
the coffee, showered, changed my clothes, became aware that her
408
00:29:08.920 --> 00:29:12.000
clothes were still hanging in the closet. I got the
409
00:29:12.000 --> 00:29:13.839
old note she had left me on that weekend, but
410
00:29:13.920 --> 00:29:17.240
Harrison read it over and over. As I had my
411
00:29:17.279 --> 00:29:20.160
coffee on the kitchen counter, I turned on the radio
412
00:29:20.200 --> 00:29:20.640
for the weather.
413
00:29:20.799 --> 00:29:24.799
The Bureau report Hurricane Gilda moving past Cape Patters, leaving
414
00:29:24.839 --> 00:29:25.440
a devastation.
415
00:29:25.559 --> 00:29:29.200
I placed the note on the counter, carefully spilled a
416
00:29:29.240 --> 00:29:32.400
spoonful of coffee on the counter, wetting a large corner
417
00:29:32.400 --> 00:29:35.400
of the paper, and then blotted it with a paper towel.
418
00:29:36.559 --> 00:29:39.200
I knew I'd have to keep checking the weather, but
419
00:29:39.279 --> 00:29:42.240
first get rid of her clothes. I put them in
420
00:29:42.279 --> 00:29:45.119
a large plastic garbage bag. I knew i'd have to
421
00:29:45.119 --> 00:29:46.960
stay close to the cottage until I got rid of
422
00:29:47.000 --> 00:29:50.319
the bodies, lay in a supply of food, so I
423
00:29:50.400 --> 00:29:53.400
drove to the supermarket. Put the clothes into the collection
424
00:29:53.519 --> 00:29:56.319
bin of the Salvation Army on the parking lot. I
425
00:29:56.359 --> 00:29:59.240
did my shopping, was back in less than an hour.
426
00:30:02.440 --> 00:30:04.160
I went up to where the rowboat was on the
427
00:30:04.279 --> 00:30:08.680
bank of trees. It looked all right. Aluminum light enough
428
00:30:08.680 --> 00:30:12.559
to drag the oars were in it, and burlap fishbags
429
00:30:13.119 --> 00:30:15.319
strong enough to hold the rocks i'd use for weights.
430
00:30:16.160 --> 00:30:18.799
I'd have to wait until dark to move the bodies.
431
00:30:19.480 --> 00:30:23.400
In the meantime, I could move the boat. It was
432
00:30:23.720 --> 00:30:30.400
a couple of hundred yards. I placed the boat on top.
433
00:30:30.200 --> 00:30:31.359
Of the grave.
434
00:30:36.400 --> 00:30:39.759
By nightfall, the coast Guard was sending out small craft warnings,
435
00:30:39.799 --> 00:30:42.559
and all through the nights I was moved to the
436
00:30:42.640 --> 00:30:48.599
radio for weather hicks. Feeling trapped, helpless to do what
437
00:30:48.640 --> 00:30:52.119
I had planned, I finally fell asleep on the couch.
438
00:30:57.200 --> 00:31:00.880
I was awakened by the Sunday morning, church music and
439
00:31:00.960 --> 00:31:05.119
a loud knocking on the porch door. Okay you No,
440
00:31:06.400 --> 00:31:10.160
I didn't recognize the voice, and I hesitated me. The
441
00:31:10.240 --> 00:31:14.160
knocking stops. I heard him walk down the porch steps.
442
00:31:14.799 --> 00:31:18.039
I put on my shoes, went to the door. He
443
00:31:18.160 --> 00:31:19.799
was sitting on the edge of the transfer of the
444
00:31:19.799 --> 00:31:23.880
boat and his back to me, smoking a cigarette, fishing
445
00:31:23.880 --> 00:31:24.920
pole across his knees.
446
00:31:25.960 --> 00:31:26.680
It was malory.
447
00:31:27.559 --> 00:31:28.079
He turned.
448
00:31:28.519 --> 00:31:29.079
Didn't wake you?
449
00:31:29.160 --> 00:31:32.119
Did I? I heard the radio and I thought i'd
450
00:31:32.119 --> 00:31:37.200
stop by and if you're all right? Okay now, but
451
00:31:38.519 --> 00:31:43.680
yesterday went ahead? Oh Dave, how about some coffee?
452
00:31:43.759 --> 00:31:44.000
Oh?
453
00:31:44.079 --> 00:31:46.160
Thanks, But I've got to get back to the lab.
454
00:31:47.440 --> 00:31:51.160
I didn't know you had a boat, but it's not mine.
455
00:31:51.799 --> 00:31:54.319
Along as the Johnson's. I saw a couple of kids
456
00:31:54.359 --> 00:31:57.039
dragging it out of the patch of trees up there.
457
00:31:57.079 --> 00:32:00.319
They ran When I started towards him, thought I'd keep
458
00:32:00.359 --> 00:32:03.720
it here for them. Yes, it's safe enough here unless
459
00:32:03.720 --> 00:32:07.519
we get that hurricane. I pull it up on higher ground.
460
00:32:07.519 --> 00:32:10.839
If the weather gets worse and Guilder doesn't move out sea.
461
00:32:12.119 --> 00:32:17.200
Well glad to see. Feeling bad, doctor Murray, did did
462
00:32:17.200 --> 00:32:22.759
you get a chance to talk to Emery no matter
463
00:32:22.799 --> 00:32:25.880
of fact. I haven't seen him and I stopped by
464
00:32:25.880 --> 00:32:29.279
his room Friday night after I left you. It wasn't in.
465
00:32:30.599 --> 00:32:33.559
I left a note to call me. I didn't hear
466
00:32:33.599 --> 00:32:38.240
from him all day Saturday. Wasn't in Saturday night, not
467
00:32:38.359 --> 00:32:42.039
in his room this morning either. It's not like him
468
00:32:42.079 --> 00:32:49.000
to go off without a word. I've been thinking over
469
00:32:49.039 --> 00:32:52.880
doctor Mury. It's it's not yours talking memory. I can't
470
00:32:52.960 --> 00:32:57.079
keep it tired to me. She's left me? Oh did she?
471
00:32:58.200 --> 00:33:01.880
I'm sorry? Perhaps the best? Well, she didn't get home
472
00:33:02.079 --> 00:33:06.240
Friday night. Let me know the suddenly kitchen saturdy morny.
473
00:33:06.920 --> 00:33:13.279
Is she leaving you for memory? She didn't say, I
474
00:33:13.359 --> 00:33:24.799
see m h. Well, I'm sorry, Drake, I really am.
475
00:33:24.799 --> 00:33:28.599
Sunday nights, I was still trapped by the weather got
476
00:33:28.599 --> 00:33:31.119
worse through the night, but the weather report said that
477
00:33:31.319 --> 00:33:33.599
still was a fifty to fifty chance of the hurricane
478
00:33:33.599 --> 00:33:44.680
would bypass Long Island. About noon the next day, the
479
00:33:44.720 --> 00:33:49.079
wind died down, and I stood there by the rowboat,
480
00:33:49.440 --> 00:33:51.880
wondering whether I should take the chance. In broad daylight,
481
00:33:53.039 --> 00:33:57.720
long Avan Sand was still calm as a lake. I
482
00:33:57.759 --> 00:34:03.480
heard a helicopter coming across crane neck routine patrol of
483
00:34:03.519 --> 00:34:09.800
the shore. I could read the suffer police and then
484
00:34:11.800 --> 00:34:15.719
Dr Maury coming on the beach towards me. I stood
485
00:34:15.719 --> 00:34:16.639
there waiting for him.
486
00:34:17.360 --> 00:34:20.880
I'm glad I find you home, Drake. Oh, I've just
487
00:34:21.280 --> 00:34:24.599
been answering more job ads. Have you heard from missus
488
00:34:24.679 --> 00:34:26.719
Drake and let her perhaps phone call?
489
00:34:27.199 --> 00:34:27.480
Why?
490
00:34:27.679 --> 00:34:31.679
No, I haven't. Well, I'm getting really concerned about Emory.
491
00:34:32.840 --> 00:34:34.880
No one at the lab has seen him or heard
492
00:34:34.920 --> 00:34:39.480
from him for three days. This morning I looked through
493
00:34:39.480 --> 00:34:45.400
his room, his clothes, his suitcases were there. I can't understand.
494
00:34:45.440 --> 00:34:48.800
I I was hoping if you'd heard from missus Drake,
495
00:34:49.000 --> 00:34:51.199
knew where she was, I'd ask her if she had
496
00:34:51.239 --> 00:34:53.480
any idea about where Emory might be.
497
00:34:53.559 --> 00:34:56.639
Well, I do have her mother's phone number in Ohio
498
00:34:56.679 --> 00:34:59.159
and her sister's in Connecticut.
499
00:35:00.119 --> 00:35:04.079
You don't mind, do you want to call him here? Thanks?
500
00:35:04.079 --> 00:35:05.960
But I'm on my way to the village hall to
501
00:35:06.000 --> 00:35:07.800
see police Chief Raymond.
502
00:35:12.360 --> 00:35:14.920
I stood there watching him make his way along the
503
00:35:14.960 --> 00:35:17.639
beach to the village Hall at the Old Field Lighthouse,
504
00:35:18.360 --> 00:35:26.639
wondering just what he'd tell Chief Raymond.
505
00:35:27.079 --> 00:35:31.679
Well, you know what they say, the path of gory
506
00:35:31.800 --> 00:35:36.760
murder leads but to the grave. What do you suppose
507
00:35:36.760 --> 00:35:39.440
will happen to Tom Drake? Will he be like that
508
00:35:39.559 --> 00:35:43.719
comedian who murdered people with stolen jokes and was hanged
509
00:35:43.760 --> 00:35:49.000
by his wits end. I'll be back shortly with a three.
510
00:35:48.840 --> 00:35:51.440
Hi goldilocks here.

Professionally, taste testing diet drinks can be very difficult, but51200:35:56.239 --> 00:35:59.440
I've just had to bear with it. Then I found51300:35:59.480 --> 00:36:04.039
sugar Diet seven up. It doesn't taste like other diet drinks.51400:36:04.280 --> 00:36:09.239
It's fresh, light, natural, delicious. Sugar free Diet seven up51500:36:09.320 --> 00:36:12.840
tastes so good that I've taste tested one hundreds of times,51600:36:13.000 --> 00:36:16.039
and each time I've given it my seal of approval.51700:36:16.599 --> 00:36:19.280
Yes, this one's just right.51800:36:21.760 --> 00:36:25.000
You finally made your gift list. Your neighbour's child is too,51900:36:25.480 --> 00:36:28.880

aging torrent in another a torrent that can uproot lives52800:37:08.000 --> 00:37:11.840
as well as trees to remedy the things that can52900:37:11.880 --> 00:37:16.559
be remedied in a disaster. America has a unique emergency force,53000:37:17.360 --> 00:37:22.800

of most policemen is not a happy one. Wonder how53900:38:07.840 --> 00:38:13.000
Police Chief Raymond will receive Professor Mallory. Will he use54000:38:13.079 --> 00:38:16.760
the right bait and make a haul or lose hook54100:38:16.840 --> 00:38:21.559
line and singer, Let's follow our troubled professor and find54200:38:21.599 --> 00:38:24.519
out what's it all about? Emma said to tell me54300:38:25.360 --> 00:38:27.960
it was urgent. Well, I mean, it's not a matter54400:38:28.000 --> 00:38:28.519
of life.54500:38:28.440 --> 00:38:29.119
Or death, is it?54600:38:29.920 --> 00:38:34.599
And I hope not? Wo Will you sound like you're54700:38:34.599 --> 00:38:38.599
not so sure? I'm not, but I am getting worried.54800:38:39.199 --> 00:38:43.559
Somebody been stealing typewriters and lab equipment. Again no, no, no, Chief.54900:38:43.599 --> 00:38:48.400
I Well this may sound odd, but a member of55000:38:48.440 --> 00:38:55.039
the lab faculty is seems to be missing. Oh that's so.55100:38:55.159 --> 00:38:59.639
What do you mean missing? No one's seen him since55200:38:59.679 --> 00:39:03.239
Friday day afternoon? Wow, this is only Monday. Yes, yes,55300:39:04.280 --> 00:39:06.960
he was not in his room Friday night, Saturday night,55400:39:07.320 --> 00:39:10.360
Sunday night. He didn't show up in the lab today.55500:39:10.599 --> 00:39:12.639
What about his weekends? Did he have them free?55600:39:12.840 --> 00:39:13.000
Well?55700:39:13.079 --> 00:39:17.199
Sometimes when scheduled. He was not scheduled to be off55800:39:17.320 --> 00:39:22.320
this weekend. Chape rooms with Garrison says he saw Emory55900:39:22.400 --> 00:39:26.440
Friday noon. Garrison was off this past weekend. He got56000:39:26.440 --> 00:39:31.280
back Sunday night. I saw Garrison this morning. He wasn't56100:39:31.320 --> 00:39:34.840
surprised or upset over the fact that Emory hadn't spent56200:39:34.880 --> 00:39:38.920
the night in his room. It wasn't the first time.56300:39:39.639 --> 00:39:43.079
Do you know that cottage the Drake's rented, Yes, I do,56400:39:43.159 --> 00:39:47.239
Blongza Howards, that was the one. What about it? Last56500:39:47.519 --> 00:39:51.519
Friday night, I was out casting along the beach.56600:39:53.039 --> 00:39:54.320
On my way back to the lab.56700:39:54.800 --> 00:39:58.639
Drake invited me to stop for a nightcap on the porch.56800:40:00.320 --> 00:40:04.199
He'd already had quite a few. I had one drink56900:40:04.199 --> 00:40:07.679
with him, and he asked me. Was I a friend57000:40:07.760 --> 00:40:12.480
of Emory's? And he asked me the way he put it,57100:40:13.599 --> 00:40:16.599
would I do him a favor? Mm hmm, gone, go on.57200:40:17.960 --> 00:40:20.199
What he wanted me to do was for me to57300:40:20.239 --> 00:40:24.480
tell Emory to stay away from his wife.57400:40:24.719 --> 00:40:24.920
Ah.57500:40:26.719 --> 00:40:29.599
Now did he explain that. Did he mean Emory was57600:40:29.679 --> 00:40:32.719
annoying his wife or did he mean they were having57700:40:32.760 --> 00:40:35.679
an affair? Well, my first impression was that it was57800:40:36.320 --> 00:40:41.000
more or less a dalliance. Well, that's kind of par57900:40:41.119 --> 00:40:44.199
for the course in this university town, you know, Yes, perhaps,58000:40:44.280 --> 00:40:48.239
But I told him I prefer not to get involved58100:40:48.360 --> 00:40:51.079
in personal affairs of faculty members. What do you say?58200:40:51.639 --> 00:40:57.679
He said, if Emory didn't stay away, he'd kill him58300:40:58.039 --> 00:41:01.880
his exact words. Of course, he was very drunk when58400:41:01.920 --> 00:41:05.800
he said it. I told Drake to calm him down,58500:41:05.880 --> 00:41:07.960
that I had talked to Ambry. Yes to see. Well, now,58600:41:08.000 --> 00:41:10.639
what about missus Drake? Was there anything said to indicate58700:41:10.679 --> 00:41:14.679
whether she was inside the cottage while Drake was blowing58800:41:14.719 --> 00:41:17.079
his top this way to youton. No, no, there were58900:41:17.119 --> 00:41:19.599
no lights on inside. Matter of fact, Drake made it59000:41:19.679 --> 00:41:24.000
clear that she was not home, He implied, without mentioning59100:41:24.039 --> 00:41:28.239
Hemory my name, that she was out somewhere with him. Well,59200:41:28.280 --> 00:41:30.880
in that case she could have some idea about where59300:41:30.960 --> 00:41:35.639
he might be. That occurred to me. I went back59400:41:35.679 --> 00:41:40.079
there yesterday morning with that in mind, and did she59500:41:40.079 --> 00:41:45.079
She wasn't there. Drake told me she left him. He59600:41:45.119 --> 00:41:48.960
said she didn't come home at all Friday night. He59700:41:49.000 --> 00:41:51.079
said he found a note from her in the kitchen59800:41:51.760 --> 00:41:55.119
Saturday morning. Well, it's quite a coincidence to say, at59900:41:55.199 --> 00:41:58.880
least did the note say she'd going away with Emory? Well,60000:41:58.920 --> 00:42:01.599
Drake didn't show me the note, but as much as said,60100:42:01.719 --> 00:42:04.000
there was no mention in the memory. Have you been60200:42:04.039 --> 00:42:06.960
to the cottage since yesterday? And I stopped there on60300:42:07.000 --> 00:42:10.360
my way here. Drake says he hasn't heard a word60400:42:10.400 --> 00:42:14.920
from a no mail, no phone call. But I asked him,60500:42:15.320 --> 00:42:18.840
would she perhaps have gone to her parents' home, to60600:42:18.880 --> 00:42:28.000
a relative. He gave me these phone numbers, Ohio in Connecticut.60700:42:28.199 --> 00:42:32.800
Do you think we ought to call him? No? No,60800:42:34.000 --> 00:42:36.320
I'll drop in on Drake. Rather he made the call.60900:42:36.519 --> 00:42:39.320
Is he We can't locate missus, Drake, and you don't61000:42:39.320 --> 00:42:42.159
hear from memory? That leaves us with two missing persons.61100:42:42.599 --> 00:42:45.559
We'll put out on all points teletype, alarmful descriptions and61200:42:45.559 --> 00:42:57.039
the photos. I'll keep you posted. Mallory, I'll come to61300:42:57.079 --> 00:43:01.119
the point, Drake Mallory. Professor Mallory up at the Marine Lab,61400:43:01.199 --> 00:43:03.800
you know, came to see me and he's a bit61500:43:03.880 --> 00:43:07.360
worried about the absence of a faculty member, one Richard Emory.61600:43:08.000 --> 00:43:10.400
The no use being delicate about this, Drake. From what61700:43:10.480 --> 00:43:13.400
he told me, it does look like Emory and your61800:43:13.440 --> 00:43:19.320
wife ran off together, doesn't it. Yes, sure looks like it.61900:43:19.760 --> 00:43:22.280
Do you mind if I see that note she left you?62000:43:23.239 --> 00:43:25.639
Oh no, not at all. It's on the kitchen condo62100:43:25.880 --> 00:43:30.159
where I found it. We went into the kitchen. He62200:43:30.239 --> 00:43:33.480
picked up the note, studied it carefully, but to the62300:43:33.480 --> 00:43:36.360
back of the paper felt the coffee.62400:43:35.960 --> 00:43:43.039
Staindh, When did you discover this note Saturday morning?62500:43:43.840 --> 00:43:44.000
Well?62600:43:44.039 --> 00:43:44.559
That stained?62700:43:44.679 --> 00:43:47.480
Some coffee spilled from my cup as I was reading it. Oh,62800:43:47.519 --> 00:43:50.360
I see, I see you You might if I look around.62900:43:51.039 --> 00:43:51.679
Oh, go right.63000:43:53.480 --> 00:43:56.719
I followed him into the bedroom. He looked through her dresser,63100:43:57.000 --> 00:43:58.880
in the closet, the night table.63200:43:58.920 --> 00:44:01.840
Well, her clothes are going all right. I was looking63300:44:01.880 --> 00:44:04.239
for a letter she might have received from a friend63400:44:04.360 --> 00:44:06.440
or relative, you know, inviting her for a visit for63500:44:06.480 --> 00:44:09.239
a few days or a week. I mean, did she63600:44:09.360 --> 00:44:12.199
mention such an invitation to you?63700:44:12.239 --> 00:44:12.440
No?63800:44:12.880 --> 00:44:15.119
Well, if she did get such a letter, she could63900:44:15.119 --> 00:44:17.559
have taken it with her. I mean, have you called64000:44:17.559 --> 00:44:19.400
her parents or her sister?64100:44:20.239 --> 00:44:23.800
Well, frankly no, I was hoping I wouldn't have to64200:44:23.800 --> 00:44:27.599
do that when she come back, or write her phone.64300:44:27.880 --> 00:44:30.360
Well, if they don't turn up in a week or two,64400:44:30.400 --> 00:44:33.159
we might perhaps go on the assumption that they're dead,64500:44:34.000 --> 00:44:40.519
you see, and start a search for their bodies. You64600:44:40.599 --> 00:44:44.400
don't think, well, look, if I was drunk when I64700:44:44.719 --> 00:44:48.519
don't know, No, I don't think you killed them, of64800:44:48.559 --> 00:44:51.880
course not. What would you do with the bodies? Bury64900:44:51.920 --> 00:44:54.360
them out there? Let's not get morbid about this. You65000:44:54.400 --> 00:44:58.599
don't think I'm going to call out the tractors to65100:44:58.639 --> 00:44:59.760
scrape down the gravel.65200:45:00.079 --> 00:45:00.280
Yeah.65300:45:01.320 --> 00:45:04.639
Oh, by the way, how long are you planning to65400:45:04.679 --> 00:45:08.199
stay on here? A couple of weeks before? Well, I'll65500:45:08.280 --> 00:45:11.480
keep in touch. I'll call you if anything develops. Phone65600:45:11.599 --> 00:45:15.760
me if you get a letter or a call from65700:45:15.800 --> 00:45:20.679
your wife. I followed him out. He looked at the rowboat,65800:45:21.679 --> 00:45:24.320
studied the sky, you know, I'd pull my little boot65900:45:24.400 --> 00:45:26.880
up higher beyond that low ground back of the house.66000:45:26.880 --> 00:45:28.519
I wouldn't be surprised if we get some of the66100:45:28.639 --> 00:45:30.360
hurricane gilded before night's over.66200:45:31.320 --> 00:45:34.159
Better keep the radio set on, the coast Guard reports.66300:45:34.920 --> 00:45:37.639
I watched him down the footpath across the low ground66400:45:37.639 --> 00:45:40.320
behind the cottage, and then uphill to where his car66500:45:40.440 --> 00:45:42.800
was parked on the top of the bluff. It was66600:45:42.840 --> 00:45:45.559
not until he was out of sight that I stopped66700:45:45.559 --> 00:45:55.760
sweating anywhere. It stayed calm, windless, an oppressive silence hanging66800:45:55.800 --> 00:45:56.360
over the water.66900:45:56.440 --> 00:46:00.719
In the land. The sky was sunless, gray, not a67000:46:00.800 --> 00:46:04.679
cloud in sight. I'd heard of the calm before the storm,67100:46:04.719 --> 00:46:08.039
but I had never seen it. I filled the kerosene67200:46:08.079 --> 00:46:10.239
lanterns that candles.67300:46:09.880 --> 00:46:14.400
Ready gale warning cave made to block island. I tied67400:46:14.480 --> 00:46:17.239
through to four feet above normal. Was flooding along.67500:46:17.039 --> 00:46:22.920
Lowlands by late afternoon, brought up and down the sound.67600:46:22.960 --> 00:46:25.440
White caps galloped should from as far as the eye67700:46:25.440 --> 00:46:29.960
could see. Treetops swayed and twisted in the whistling wind.67800:46:31.719 --> 00:46:35.559
The waves crashed higher on the shore and started to67900:46:35.639 --> 00:46:39.159
rain hard, and windswept sheets of water lashed the roof68000:46:39.880 --> 00:46:40.719
shingled side of.68100:46:43.079 --> 00:46:47.039
The lights went off. I lit the lanterns and candles.68200:46:47.719 --> 00:46:51.800
Winds fifteen to sixteen Knox residents alerted to evacuate the68300:46:51.880 --> 00:46:53.440
low lying shore areas.68400:46:53.960 --> 00:46:57.119
The door banged open and the wind picked up the68500:46:57.199 --> 00:47:00.760
rowboat scented rolling side over side of the little ground68600:47:00.800 --> 00:47:03.559
behind the house. I stood with the lantern on the68700:47:03.599 --> 00:47:08.920
gravel burn, watching the waves inching crosser lapping the foot68800:47:08.920 --> 00:47:13.239
of the gravel mound, loosening gravel in the backwash.68900:47:13.719 --> 00:47:15.000
And then I heard the phone ring.69000:47:16.239 --> 00:47:19.280
I went to it, picked it up, still watching through69100:47:19.320 --> 00:47:21.360
the open door the waves breaking over the gravel.69200:47:23.000 --> 00:47:25.800
Hello, Hello, I'll break this police jee Raymond? What the69300:47:25.840 --> 00:47:27.480
hell are you're still doing out there? Didn't you hear69400:47:27.480 --> 00:47:29.159
the evacuation alert? Or the.69500:47:31.119 --> 00:47:34.320
Phone fell out of my hand? I saw waves crashing69600:47:34.320 --> 00:47:37.199
over the grave and ran out, draculous to be carefully.69700:47:37.679 --> 00:47:39.760
There's been a breach in the shore about a quarter69800:47:39.840 --> 00:47:40.840
mile down the beach.69900:47:40.920 --> 00:47:42.559
Get the hell out of there. You'll be cut off,70000:47:42.599 --> 00:47:53.760
you hear me be there? Hello? Hello, Well bet you70100:47:53.760 --> 00:47:54.440
get going with the water.70200:48:03.280 --> 00:48:03.559
I know.70300:48:03.800 --> 00:48:06.679
I had to keep shoveling on the gravel and sand70400:48:07.559 --> 00:48:09.559
as fast as the waves washed it off.70500:48:10.480 --> 00:48:10.880
He put.70600:48:11.000 --> 00:48:13.960
For every shovelful I throw in the grave, the waves70700:48:14.119 --> 00:48:17.880
washed off to a last track of time. I know70800:48:18.039 --> 00:48:20.559
I had to keep at it to keep the grave covered.70900:48:28.400 --> 00:48:34.840
Heading coast to the house gallery. Now, kay, ray, all right,71000:48:34.920 --> 00:48:37.400
let's go ashore. Notes it into the bank. You better71100:48:37.440 --> 00:48:47.159
bring your player. What what the hell is he doing?71200:48:50.079 --> 00:48:51.280
You can't come back?71300:48:52.280 --> 00:49:00.719
Never mercan savery? Better get him over there? Riverhead present71400:49:00.760 --> 00:49:02.239
hospital title.71500:49:02.079 --> 00:49:03.119
Be going out in a little while.71600:49:03.760 --> 00:49:06.599
Let's put this ropeer on the aidles and secure to71700:49:06.639 --> 00:49:07.000
the porch.71800:49:07.840 --> 00:49:12.719
Holor you stay here, you'll work the police. I'm the carrier.71900:49:12.840 --> 00:49:23.800
Get here, chief, I'm at the morgue at Riverhead.72000:49:24.239 --> 00:49:24.360
Uh.72100:49:24.960 --> 00:49:27.840
Doctor Henderson of the police slab gave me an envelope72200:49:27.840 --> 00:49:31.599
to get to you. He said you wanted an analysis.72300:49:31.079 --> 00:49:31.920
Report and hurry.72400:49:31.960 --> 00:49:32.360
That's right.72500:49:32.400 --> 00:49:32.880
What's you say?72600:49:32.960 --> 00:49:33.400
Read it to me.72700:49:34.360 --> 00:49:39.400
It says the coffee steam is less than a week old,72800:49:40.800 --> 00:49:41.639
the ink.72900:49:42.599 --> 00:49:44.039
Is at least a year old.73000:49:48.039 --> 00:49:48.960
But thanks Mallory.73100:49:50.159 --> 00:49:52.039
By the way, do me a favor. Will you leave73200:49:52.079 --> 00:49:56.400
a note to Highway Superintendent Murphy in a state office building.73300:49:57.679 --> 00:50:07.519
Tell him I said I won't be needing those tractors. Well,73400:50:08.519 --> 00:50:13.400
imagine what do you think of that police chief? Isn't73500:50:13.400 --> 00:50:20.440
he the fishy character? Anyhow, we didn't have to scrape bottom.73600:50:21.800 --> 00:50:22.719
I'll be back shortly.73700:50:23.039 --> 00:50:25.039
Hello, this is Goldilocks.73800:50:25.480 --> 00:50:28.159
It seems like only yesterday that I was a little73900:50:28.280 --> 00:50:32.639
girl tasting porridge. You know, this one's too hot, this74000:50:32.840 --> 00:50:36.400
one's too cold. And now I conduct taste tests on74100:50:36.599 --> 00:50:39.599
diet drinks. And there's one I must tell you about.74200:50:39.960 --> 00:50:43.599
Sugar free diet seven up. It has a fresh, natural,74300:50:43.800 --> 00:50:47.880
delicious taste. It drives my taste to meter crazy. Sugar74400:50:48.000 --> 00:50:49.960
free diet seven up hot.74500:50:50.360 --> 00:50:52.039
This one's just right.74600:50:54.440 --> 00:50:56.920
Answer on. I'm building a kite out of tissue paper74700:50:56.960 --> 00:50:57.960
and it's beginning to rain.74800:50:58.159 --> 00:51:00.679
What do I need or plastic kites?74900:51:02.679 --> 00:51:03.320
Answeram?75000:51:03.519 --> 00:51:05.840
How many children are born with birth defects two.75100:51:05.840 --> 00:51:08.079
Undred fifty down in a year in the United States?75200:51:08.280 --> 00:51:09.159
What's being done?75300:51:09.440 --> 00:51:12.920
The March of Dimes supports research, medical service and public75400:51:13.079 --> 00:51:14.000
education programs.75500:51:14.119 --> 00:51:16.400
How can I help? Answeram?75600:51:18.360 --> 00:51:18.599
Like me?75700:51:18.960 --> 00:51:21.119
The March of Dimes needs money for answers.75800:51:21.360 --> 00:51:22.639
Give to the March of Dimes.75900:51:33.079 --> 00:51:38.039
Still in a dilemma, we hope you never have to76000:51:38.119 --> 00:51:42.840
face it. We can offer some advice, though, when you76100:51:42.960 --> 00:51:47.360
are uptight about any matter. Nothing like settling down at76200:51:47.400 --> 00:51:50.679
your radio and letting the cares of the days slip76300:51:50.719 --> 00:51:55.000
away as your mind and ears carry you off on76400:51:55.119 --> 00:52:01.039
a relaxing journey of mystery adventure. Our casting included Ralph Bell,76500:52:01.480 --> 00:52:07.079
Patricia Wheel, Robert Dryden and William Redfield. The entire production76600:52:07.280 --> 00:52:09.000
was under the direction of Hymond Brown.76700:52:12.280 --> 00:52:12.519
Well.76800:52:14.320 --> 00:52:18.639
I think we're starting the evening off quite well. Watch76900:52:18.719 --> 00:52:25.320
that well. It's hard to explain exactly how I ended77000:52:25.400 --> 00:52:31.960
up so focused on the nocturnal, but perhaps another time77100:52:33.000 --> 00:52:38.920
I can go into that more in depth. It's always77200:52:39.039 --> 00:52:41.639
been a part of me. I think it's always been77300:52:41.760 --> 00:52:46.280
a part of everyone. My dear to be a little77400:52:46.320 --> 00:52:51.440
bit light and a little bit dark. I suppose in77500:52:51.519 --> 00:52:55.559
a way, I've always felt like I was kind of77600:52:55.679 --> 00:52:57.159
a well.77700:52:57.320 --> 00:53:04.519
A Nightmam starring Miss Marcia Hunt, a tale well calculated77800:53:04.639 --> 00:53:07.280
to keep you in suspense.77900:53:18.599 --> 00:53:22.480
But Miss Rhodes, it's impossible. This is a maximum security prison.78000:53:22.519 --> 00:53:24.920
We haven't had an escape in years. No, you have one, now,78100:53:25.000 --> 00:53:27.320
Warden Tom Nixon, how can you be sure?78200:53:27.519 --> 00:53:29.760
I saw him in New York City two days ago.78300:53:30.039 --> 00:53:32.079
Did you know him well well enough?78400:53:32.639 --> 00:53:35.119
He was my mother's star boarder for years.78500:53:35.599 --> 00:53:36.440
Why I sat.78600:53:36.199 --> 00:53:38.199
Opposite him at the dinner table from the time I78700:53:38.360 --> 00:53:41.159
was a girl of fifteen until he murdered her.78800:53:41.760 --> 00:53:44.480
And now somehow he's escaped from here.78900:53:44.320 --> 00:53:45.840
And he's after me this roads.79000:53:45.880 --> 00:53:47.559
It's impossible, I say.79100:53:47.480 --> 00:53:48.320
Wooden Graves.79200:53:48.440 --> 00:53:51.400
Ten years ago, when mother was found murdered, I knew79300:53:51.440 --> 00:53:54.679
it couldn't have been anyone but Tom. I testified against him.79400:53:55.119 --> 00:53:57.920
I was the chief, were practically the only witness.79500:53:57.599 --> 00:53:58.119
At the trial.79600:53:58.599 --> 00:54:01.519
And when they sentenced him here for life, he swore.79700:54:01.400 --> 00:54:01.880
To kill me.79800:54:02.519 --> 00:54:04.760
He swore in the open court to get even with me.79900:54:05.280 --> 00:54:07.480
For ten years, I've lived in deadly fear of him,80000:54:08.119 --> 00:54:09.199
and now he's free.80100:54:10.119 --> 00:54:13.639
And where exactly did you see the prison on this road?80200:54:13.840 --> 00:54:16.320
That's just the point. That's why I know he's after me.80300:54:16.880 --> 00:54:18.800
I saw him in the building.80400:54:18.440 --> 00:54:19.119
Where I live.80500:54:19.360 --> 00:54:21.519
Well, I don't he has a job there.80600:54:21.480 --> 00:54:24.239
Running the elevator at night. I live all alone in80700:54:24.360 --> 00:54:27.000
a small three room penthouse on the eighteenth floor of80800:54:27.039 --> 00:54:30.719
an office building. The other night, about a week ago,80900:54:31.480 --> 00:54:34.119
I came home alone from the movies after midnight.81000:54:34.920 --> 00:54:37.039
I was already in the elevator before I noticed that81100:54:37.159 --> 00:54:39.880
there was a new nightmare it was Tom.81200:54:40.719 --> 00:54:42.719
His hair had turned white, and there was a stoop81300:54:42.760 --> 00:54:45.000
to his shoulders, but everything about him, the crook of81400:54:45.039 --> 00:54:48.920
his head, his high, thin nose, hollowed cheek bones that81500:54:49.039 --> 00:54:52.159
were all the same. And then he turned and stared81600:54:52.199 --> 00:54:55.719
at me. I could see those deadly, pale, cold eyes,81700:54:55.840 --> 00:54:59.960
those heavy eyebrows, and that familiar, quiet, sarcastic mind.81800:55:01.239 --> 00:55:02.159
What flaw miss?81900:55:03.800 --> 00:55:03.920
Oh?82000:55:04.159 --> 00:55:04.280
Uh?82100:55:04.639 --> 00:55:07.800
My floor? Yes, the penthouse, please, the penthouse.82200:55:09.079 --> 00:55:10.239
Where is that on the roof?82300:55:10.559 --> 00:55:12.519
Yes, on the roof, please, eighteenth floor.82400:55:13.039 --> 00:55:13.440
Okay.82500:55:15.079 --> 00:55:17.519
It was like being in a cage with a wild beast.82600:55:18.079 --> 00:55:20.960
He kept watching me, tearing at me furtively. As the82700:55:21.000 --> 00:55:25.480
elevator moved upward with agonizing slowness, I shrank back to82800:55:25.559 --> 00:55:28.039
hide my face. The light in the car was dim.82900:55:28.480 --> 00:55:30.480
My only hope was that he didn't recognize me.83000:55:31.480 --> 00:55:32.480
Is your floor, miss?83100:55:35.119 --> 00:55:35.440
Thank you?83200:55:36.199 --> 00:55:36.599
Good night?83300:55:36.960 --> 00:55:42.199
Good night, good night.83400:55:42.760 --> 00:55:43.559
You can go back down.83500:55:44.920 --> 00:55:46.280
I don't need anything, thank you.83600:55:47.159 --> 00:55:48.199
Forget your dark key?83700:55:48.360 --> 00:55:51.760
No, no, no, it's just it's right here in my bag.83800:55:52.079 --> 00:55:52.559
I find it.83900:55:55.280 --> 00:55:57.960
Oh no, no, I got past keys to all the doors.84000:55:58.039 --> 00:55:59.519
It's no trouble, no.84100:55:59.719 --> 00:56:03.400
Thank you, but I no, oh here, I have it84200:56:03.519 --> 00:56:03.840
right here.84300:56:04.119 --> 00:56:08.599
Good night, and that was the first time you saw him.84400:56:08.840 --> 00:56:10.719
Yes, wouldn't and that.84500:56:10.880 --> 00:56:11.639
Was all he did?84600:56:12.039 --> 00:56:15.320
Her said, well, yes, but it wasn't so much what84700:56:15.480 --> 00:56:18.400
he said is the awful feeling that he was only84800:56:18.559 --> 00:56:21.559
playing with me, the torturing me until he was ready84900:56:21.639 --> 00:56:25.039
to kill me, wouldn't, Grace. I don't even have a phone.85000:56:25.519 --> 00:56:27.679
I've always been afraid to be listed in the phone book.85100:56:28.039 --> 00:56:29.920
The only way up to that tenth house was by.85200:56:29.880 --> 00:56:33.199
That one elevator. I was tracked up there at his mercy.85300:56:33.519 --> 00:56:34.039
What did you do?85400:56:35.119 --> 00:56:37.400
I spent the night crouched against the wall with a85500:56:37.519 --> 00:56:40.599
flat iron in my hand, just waiting for that key85600:56:40.679 --> 00:56:41.679
to click in my lock.85700:56:42.000 --> 00:56:42.679
But it didn't.85800:56:43.639 --> 00:56:45.039
No, it didn't.85900:56:46.360 --> 00:56:48.840
The next day I began to wonder if I wasn't86000:56:48.880 --> 00:56:53.159
imagining the whole thing. Then that night, just as I86100:56:53.280 --> 00:56:59.920
was going to bed, who is it?86200:57:02.679 --> 00:57:03.199
Who's there?86300:57:07.840 --> 00:57:08.000
Oh?86400:57:08.119 --> 00:57:10.800
Excuse me, miss Rhodes, There wasn't any answer.86500:57:10.599 --> 00:57:11.119
To my ring.86600:57:11.679 --> 00:57:12.239
What do you want?86700:57:12.639 --> 00:57:13.440
What are you doing here?86800:57:14.559 --> 00:57:15.440
Just your laundry?86900:57:16.000 --> 00:57:17.800
It told me to put it inside in case you87000:57:17.840 --> 00:57:18.320
weren't home.87100:57:20.119 --> 00:57:22.000
You might have given me time to answer the door.87200:57:22.559 --> 00:57:24.880
I'm sorry, miss Rose, I'm very sorry.87300:57:25.880 --> 00:57:27.639
Don't let it happen again. Good night.87400:57:28.800 --> 00:57:32.519
I'm just thinking you got no way to get up here,87500:57:33.119 --> 00:57:35.960
or to get down accepting my elevator.87600:57:37.239 --> 00:57:40.599
No, even the service elevator doesn't get up this far,87700:57:40.719 --> 00:57:41.000
does it.87800:57:41.800 --> 00:57:41.840
No?87900:57:43.199 --> 00:57:45.159
You're really alone up here, aren't you?88000:57:46.960 --> 00:57:51.440
Yes, Tom, Tom, have you come any closer?88100:57:51.519 --> 00:57:52.119
I'll kill you?88200:57:52.320 --> 00:57:52.800
Do you hear it?88300:57:53.320 --> 00:57:53.840
I'll kill you.88400:57:54.320 --> 00:57:56.320
I understand what you're talking about me.88500:58:01.679 --> 00:58:03.239
Yes, my pus, I'd.88600:58:03.159 --> 00:58:03.880
Better answer it.88700:58:19.880 --> 00:58:27.719
I haven't seen him since won.88800:58:28.559 --> 00:58:32.559
I barricaded myself in again that night, and next morning88900:58:32.880 --> 00:58:35.079
I got down to the public phone and put through89000:58:35.159 --> 00:58:35.679
the call to you.89100:58:36.480 --> 00:58:37.599
But it wasn't any use.89200:58:37.920 --> 00:58:39.599
That was the day I was out of town.89300:58:39.800 --> 00:58:42.559
Yes, but I still don't see why they couldn't have89400:58:42.639 --> 00:58:45.280
told me. After all, I was giving them information.89500:58:45.480 --> 00:58:48.320
It's one of our strictest regulations that us were part89600:58:48.320 --> 00:58:49.559
of my state penitentiary en.89700:58:49.559 --> 00:58:51.800
They were to discuss any of our prisoners.89800:58:51.440 --> 00:58:52.280
Over the telephone.89900:58:52.360 --> 00:58:53.199
That's what they said.90000:58:53.920 --> 00:58:57.360
So you came all the way out here in person? Yes,90100:58:58.559 --> 00:59:02.400
Now you wish me to send someone to apprehend this man.90200:59:02.599 --> 00:59:04.960
I want you to bring him back. That's all back,90300:59:05.079 --> 00:59:06.440
re belong, Miss Rhodes.90400:59:07.320 --> 00:59:11.039
I can't bring Tom Nixon back, he's here.90500:59:11.800 --> 00:59:13.599
Oh no, Warden Graves.90600:59:13.840 --> 00:59:16.920
Please, I've seen him with my own eyes. I talked90700:59:16.960 --> 00:59:19.760
to him face to face. Maybe there's someone here calling90800:59:19.880 --> 00:59:23.679
himself Tom Nixon. But he's escaped, he's free, I know it.90900:59:23.920 --> 00:59:26.920
Will you just step this way with me, Miss Rhodes.91000:59:27.039 --> 00:59:28.400
No, no, I don't want to.91100:59:28.719 --> 00:59:31.159
I don't want to see a cellar, talk to anybody91200:59:31.320 --> 00:59:31.840
or anything else.91300:59:31.920 --> 00:59:36.880
Tom Nixon's dead, Miss Rhodes. He's buried in the prison cemetery.91400:59:38.119 --> 00:59:39.639
I'd like you to see his grave.91500:59:46.239 --> 00:59:46.440
Now.91600:59:46.800 --> 00:59:49.280
This is a photograph taken of him just a week91700:59:49.400 --> 00:59:53.599
before he died. See, he wasted away quite a bit.91800:59:54.239 --> 00:59:57.320
He was in the infirmary all last year. Came very91900:59:57.400 --> 01:00:02.360
religious too, toward the end, a deal of his time praying, praying,92001:00:02.599 --> 01:00:05.039
Yes all The fight seemed to go out of him92101:00:05.039 --> 01:00:06.760
as soon as he knew he was seriously ill.92201:00:07.800 --> 01:00:11.320
But you'd say this was his picture, wouldn't you, Miss.92301:00:11.239 --> 01:00:16.239
Rhodes, Yes, he said, Tom, all right, And these.92401:00:16.079 --> 01:00:17.679
Little personal belongings.92501:00:19.000 --> 01:00:22.559
Ordinarily we turned these over to the family, but Tom's case,92601:00:22.639 --> 01:00:25.480
will we couldn't trace any family.92701:00:26.480 --> 01:00:28.920
You'd recognize these as his?92801:00:30.159 --> 01:00:33.280
Yes, I don't know them all, but with that gold watch.92901:00:34.000 --> 01:00:36.239
He used to wear it every Sunday at Mothers.93001:00:36.639 --> 01:00:38.800
He wrote a couple of notes before he died to93101:00:38.960 --> 01:00:41.639
a fellow prisoner and to the prison chaplain.93201:00:42.639 --> 01:00:45.079
You recognize this handwriting.93301:00:46.480 --> 01:00:49.039
Yes, it seems to be Tom's.93401:00:50.599 --> 01:00:55.880
Well, Miss Rhodes, feel a little better about your elevator operator.93501:00:56.000 --> 01:01:00.880
Now you must think me a fool, an awful.93601:01:00.559 --> 01:01:01.519
Fool, not at all.93701:01:02.320 --> 01:01:06.960
But the lightness was so extraordinary. He was almost like93801:01:07.280 --> 01:01:08.480
seeing a ghost.93901:01:08.280 --> 01:01:08.760
A ghost.94001:01:11.199 --> 01:01:13.159
Oh, come, come, miss Roads.94101:01:14.639 --> 01:01:17.119
Now that you've gotten all this off your chest, isn't94201:01:17.159 --> 01:01:21.119
it perfectly obvious that poor night man's done nothing or94301:01:21.199 --> 01:01:23.239
said nothing to you at all out of the ordinary.94401:01:23.880 --> 01:01:27.400
It's only the well. You seem to be the victim94501:01:27.480 --> 01:01:30.000
of some kind of guilt complex.94601:01:30.119 --> 01:01:32.639
Guilt complex, why not guilty of anything?94701:01:33.039 --> 01:01:36.079
What I mean is Tom has been on your mind94801:01:36.239 --> 01:01:40.679
now for ten years. You testified against him, he threatened you.94901:01:41.440 --> 01:01:44.760
Gradually you came to see him everywhere.95001:01:44.960 --> 01:01:48.920
No, no, only this one's only these last few nights.95101:01:49.039 --> 01:01:52.679
All right, But now you know the truth that should95201:01:52.760 --> 01:01:57.519
clear your fears forever. Tom's dead and buried. Go back95301:01:57.559 --> 01:02:00.719
and take a look at this nightmn again. Now that95401:02:00.840 --> 01:02:04.760
you know Tom's dead, I'll lay out of the whole resemblance.95501:02:04.239 --> 01:02:05.719
Will vanish I hope.95601:02:05.800 --> 01:02:08.960
So my advice to you, Miss Rhodes, would be to95701:02:09.039 --> 01:02:12.519
go straight home, use that elevator as much as possible,95801:02:13.239 --> 01:02:16.239
get acquainted with his knife man for your own sake,95901:02:17.079 --> 01:02:19.760
try to get the better of these hallucinations.96001:02:20.320 --> 01:02:23.079
Well that's all they are, just hallucinations.96101:02:53.039 --> 01:02:54.559
Oh, good evening, miss.96201:02:55.280 --> 01:02:57.280
Could you help me with these bags please?96301:02:58.000 --> 01:02:58.360
Okay?96401:03:02.000 --> 01:03:02.239
Yeah?96501:03:03.400 --> 01:03:03.880
Oh miss?96601:03:04.400 --> 01:03:05.000
Yes, thank you?96701:03:05.760 --> 01:03:07.280
Oh this is for you.96801:03:07.519 --> 01:03:08.599
No, thank you, Miss.96901:03:09.039 --> 01:03:13.639
I never take tips, it's all right, but i'd like97001:03:13.719 --> 01:03:16.039
you to have it. I'm sure the superintendent wouldn't mind.97101:03:16.159 --> 01:03:17.840
Contenda hasn't got anything to do with it.97201:03:18.440 --> 01:03:22.079
Oh well, aren't we going to start?97301:03:23.000 --> 01:03:34.119
Yeah all right? Been out of town, Well, yes, yes97401:03:34.199 --> 01:03:37.480
I have. I haven't seen you for a couple of nights.97501:03:38.079 --> 01:03:46.719
I was in the country visiting a friend. Oh it's97601:03:47.039 --> 01:03:48.039
beautiful weather.97701:03:48.000 --> 01:03:49.760
Out in the country this time of year.97801:03:50.599 --> 01:03:51.159
I wouldn't know.97901:03:58.199 --> 01:03:59.760
Well, this is my floor already.98001:04:00.519 --> 01:04:01.719
No, no, it's not.98101:04:02.800 --> 01:04:05.480
Then why we're stopping elevators?98201:04:05.519 --> 01:04:05.800
Stuck?98301:04:06.599 --> 01:04:07.719
Powers, cut off.98401:04:07.920 --> 01:04:08.559
Cut off?98501:04:10.400 --> 01:04:13.760
But how could that happen? Which never happened before as98601:04:13.800 --> 01:04:14.679
long as I've lived here.98701:04:14.800 --> 01:04:17.199
Well, sooner or later. I guess it had to happen.98801:04:18.519 --> 01:04:20.719
Isn't there some way we can get it back on98901:04:22.159 --> 01:04:23.840
with some buzzer for the cellar or something?99001:04:23.920 --> 01:04:26.840
If the power is off, the buzzer isn't working, so99101:04:26.960 --> 01:04:28.079
one of the lights is still on.99201:04:28.679 --> 01:04:29.119
The lights.99301:04:29.360 --> 01:04:32.880
Yeah, they'll probably go out in a minute, though, and99401:04:33.000 --> 01:04:36.239
then it'll be black in here, black.99501:04:35.960 --> 01:04:36.639
As the gray.99601:04:38.000 --> 01:04:39.880
But let's get out of here.99701:04:40.320 --> 01:04:42.719
Open the door, can't won't budge.99801:04:43.320 --> 01:04:44.679
But you haven't even tried.99901:04:44.679 --> 01:04:45.719
I don't have to try.100001:04:46.000 --> 01:04:49.840
We're stuck between floors, the doors flush with solid wall,100101:04:50.480 --> 01:04:51.239
solid wool.100201:04:51.400 --> 01:04:56.079
Yeah, kind of like being bricked up in a cell.100301:04:56.760 --> 01:04:59.559
But there must be some way out of here.100401:05:00.960 --> 01:05:02.800
Is there a little door in the roof, something you100501:05:02.840 --> 01:05:05.840
can pry open, something you can climb up out of.100601:05:05.960 --> 01:05:07.480
Into the chaf I don't see any.100701:05:08.400 --> 01:05:09.239
But what are we going to do?100801:05:09.800 --> 01:05:10.480
What are we going to do?100901:05:10.760 --> 01:05:10.960
Wait?101001:05:11.880 --> 01:05:17.920
Wait, wait until somebody comes along downstairs and finds the101101:05:17.960 --> 01:05:21.559
elevator stuck and then rings up the superintendent.101201:05:21.840 --> 01:05:25.559
But that might be ours might be.101301:05:26.559 --> 01:05:33.400
No sting your breath.101401:05:34.719 --> 01:05:38.679
Everybody's left the building, I know, because they've all signed out.101501:05:39.920 --> 01:05:42.079
Nobody's down in the basement, and there won't be any101601:05:42.159 --> 01:05:44.519
passengers ringing for an elevator this time of night.101701:05:46.000 --> 01:05:50.199
You you most be sure about that, all that jumpy,101801:05:50.519 --> 01:05:50.840
ain't you?101901:05:51.639 --> 01:05:56.000
No? No, I suppose there's nothing to be afraid of.102001:05:56.960 --> 01:05:58.079
Sooner or later they'll come.102101:05:58.320 --> 01:05:59.679
Oh, sure, sooner.102201:06:01.000 --> 01:06:04.480
It's just that we're being stuck up here between.102301:06:04.519 --> 01:06:06.440
You're not jumpy on accon of me.102401:06:07.280 --> 01:06:11.199
You No, no, because not.102501:06:11.400 --> 01:06:15.079
But you were kind of jumpy with me the other night.102601:06:15.760 --> 01:06:19.639
Weren't you the other night when I brought the laundry102701:06:19.719 --> 01:06:21.840
into your apartment unexpectedly?102801:06:23.480 --> 01:06:25.760
Oh that that was a mistake.102901:06:26.920 --> 01:06:29.719
Yes, I just thought you was someone else, a friend103001:06:29.760 --> 01:06:33.960
of mine, someone i'd always been afraid of. But now103101:06:34.000 --> 01:06:36.440
I've learned it couldn't be you, because this friend's dead,103201:06:36.719 --> 01:06:38.280
dead and buried dead?103301:06:38.360 --> 01:06:44.559
And what was his name? Maybe I know him? The103401:06:44.679 --> 01:06:47.480
lights rout, I know they go sooner or later.103501:06:49.360 --> 01:06:51.199
No, no, they can't.103601:06:52.480 --> 01:06:54.920
I can't stay here alone in the dark with you.103701:06:55.239 --> 01:06:56.639
Oh you are jumpy with me?103801:06:56.920 --> 01:06:56.960
No?103901:06:57.400 --> 01:06:59.800
No, I thought you said this guy was dead and.104001:07:00.760 --> 01:07:02.079
He is hed.104101:07:02.280 --> 01:07:04.039
I like that.104201:07:05.320 --> 01:07:10.079
I'm not screaming. Only it's so dark in here, it's104301:07:10.119 --> 01:07:11.599
so close and creepy.104401:07:11.679 --> 01:07:14.480
What did you do to this friend that makes you104501:07:14.639 --> 01:07:16.719
so jumpy do to.104601:07:16.840 --> 01:07:20.320
Him Nothing, I didn't do a thing. No, it was he.104701:07:20.679 --> 01:07:21.239
He threatened me.104801:07:21.920 --> 01:07:24.880
He was a murderer. He killed my mother in cold104901:07:24.960 --> 01:07:26.239
blood ten years ago.105001:07:27.280 --> 01:07:29.199
He was our border for ten years.105101:07:30.159 --> 01:07:33.440
And then one afternoon I came home and there was105201:07:33.559 --> 01:07:36.400
mother lying on the floor with a truth.105301:07:37.639 --> 01:07:39.960
No where are you gone?105401:07:41.079 --> 01:07:41.119
No?105501:07:42.679 --> 01:07:45.159
No, I can't stand it.105601:07:45.239 --> 01:07:47.519
I can't, Tom.105701:07:49.199 --> 01:07:49.519
It is you.105801:07:50.280 --> 01:07:53.440
I thought you said your friend was dead and buried.105901:07:54.360 --> 01:07:55.360
Stop torturing me.106001:07:56.320 --> 01:07:57.000
Tell me the truth.106101:07:57.480 --> 01:08:00.480
You escaped, didn't you. You didn't die, and it was106201:08:00.559 --> 01:08:03.159
someone else, someone else as grave judge, as I thought106301:08:03.719 --> 01:08:08.119
you escaped to Tom me here, answer me, Tom, where106401:08:08.159 --> 01:08:08.400
are you?106501:08:08.760 --> 01:08:09.519
I can't see you?106601:08:12.880 --> 01:08:16.079
No, Tom, No, Tom, I didn't mean it.106701:08:16.279 --> 01:08:16.720
I didn't.106801:08:17.479 --> 01:08:19.039
I didn't mean to send you there.106901:08:20.159 --> 01:08:23.039
It was only because I loved your job, and I107001:08:23.159 --> 01:08:25.199
hated mother and hated.107101:08:24.920 --> 01:08:25.760
You, but loving her.107201:08:26.880 --> 01:08:28.960
It's only to get revenge on your pull that I107301:08:29.159 --> 01:08:33.760
killed her and framed you. Thought it was so cruel107401:08:33.800 --> 01:08:34.399
to meet Tom.107501:08:35.039 --> 01:08:38.239
She dream me like a slave, and all the time107601:08:39.359 --> 01:08:40.640
thoughting you in my face.107701:08:41.800 --> 01:08:44.079
If you've spoken one kind word to meet.107801:08:43.960 --> 01:08:47.079
Tom at the trial, just one word to let me107901:08:47.199 --> 01:08:54.359
know you love me, You're going to kill me, aren't you?108001:08:54.439 --> 01:08:54.680
Tom?108101:08:57.199 --> 01:08:57.239
No?108201:08:58.640 --> 01:09:00.680
No, Tom, I don't want to die.108301:09:00.920 --> 01:09:01.880
I don't want to die.108401:09:06.119 --> 01:09:07.039
Why are we going down?108501:09:07.560 --> 01:09:09.680
There's a passenger ringing in the lobby.108601:09:12.680 --> 01:09:14.840
Then you're not Tom.108701:09:15.439 --> 01:09:15.960
No, Miss.108801:09:18.079 --> 01:09:20.680
You're not going to kill me, not me.108901:09:22.600 --> 01:09:27.000
It was all just a crazy hallucination, just because the109001:09:27.159 --> 01:09:33.960
power went off, and and look so much like Tom Mixon. Oh, oh,109101:09:34.039 --> 01:09:36.359
forgive me, Please forgive me for.109201:09:36.680 --> 01:09:40.199
Himself up saved has nothing to forgive. And you'll forget109301:09:40.239 --> 01:09:41.960
all about these silly things I said, won't you.109401:09:42.359 --> 01:09:44.560
I didn't mean them. It was just because I was109501:09:44.640 --> 01:09:45.439
beside myself.109601:09:45.640 --> 01:09:46.640
What silly things?109701:09:48.720 --> 01:09:50.960
Silly he thinks about about my mother?109801:09:51.079 --> 01:09:51.720
And Tom?109901:09:52.800 --> 01:09:52.960
Here?110001:09:53.279 --> 01:09:53.960
Yeah, this is for you.110101:09:54.359 --> 01:09:55.640
No, No, I insist this time.110201:09:55.720 --> 01:09:55.960
I am.110301:09:56.439 --> 01:09:57.800
I'm sorry, but I'm afraid.110401:09:57.840 --> 01:10:01.720
I never accept tips, but I want, particularly from a110501:10:01.840 --> 01:10:04.279
dame who framed my twin brother.110601:10:07.800 --> 01:10:10.279
Evening, good evening, Lieutenant Nixon.110701:10:11.119 --> 01:10:13.399
She confessed, I thought she would.110801:10:13.239 --> 01:10:16.119
Lieutenant No no.110901:10:36.840 --> 01:10:40.880
Suspence, in which Miss Marshall Hunts starred in William and111001:10:41.000 --> 01:10:45.680
Robeson's production of Nightmare, written by Lucille Fletcher. Supporting Miss111101:10:45.720 --> 01:10:48.920
Marsha Hunting, Tonight's story were Laurence Stobkin and Charles Seal.111201:10:54.079 --> 01:10:58.279
When it comes to the past, are you good at111301:10:58.399 --> 01:11:04.600
letting it be just that the past inherently behind you?111401:11:04.840 --> 01:11:10.720
As it were? Sometimes I find that I struggle. Sometimes111501:11:10.840 --> 01:11:15.039
I wonder if I'm actually a part of the past,111601:11:16.159 --> 01:11:19.199
not the way that we all are, but in a111701:11:19.319 --> 01:11:24.880
more active way. I yearn for the days when I111801:11:25.000 --> 01:11:30.000
felt I was purposeful and jubilant, when I felt like111901:11:30.239 --> 01:11:34.079
I mattered to the grand scheme of things far better,112001:11:35.439 --> 01:11:40.119
far more. But as I've learned, the truth really is112101:11:41.359 --> 01:11:41.800
the good.112201:11:42.840 --> 01:11:56.399
Die Young, a mysterious traveler.112301:12:09.840 --> 01:12:13.760
This is the mysterious traveler inviting you to join him112401:12:14.239 --> 01:12:17.800
on another journey into the realm of the strange and terrifying.112501:12:18.960 --> 01:12:21.880
I hope you will enjoy the trip, that it will112601:12:22.399 --> 01:12:26.479
trill you a little and chill you a little. So112701:12:26.760 --> 01:12:31.760
settle back, get a good grip on your nerves. I112801:12:31.920 --> 01:12:34.720
hope it's not making you nervous. Being alone with me112901:12:34.800 --> 01:12:39.880
here in the dark. Darkness stirs strange tellors in some minds,113001:12:41.239 --> 01:12:46.000
particularly those of children. But children live in a world113101:12:46.039 --> 01:12:48.159
of their own, a world.113201:12:48.680 --> 01:12:50.800
Far removed from that of adults.113301:12:51.680 --> 01:12:55.479
Among us knows the psychology of the child mind with113401:12:55.640 --> 01:12:56.840
its devious.113501:12:56.760 --> 01:12:58.079
Thoughts and actions.113601:12:58.920 --> 01:12:59.840
As in the Tale of.113701:13:01.800 --> 01:13:02.720
The Good Dye.113801:13:03.000 --> 01:13:13.439
Young years ago, when I was practicing medicine, I brought113901:13:13.439 --> 01:13:17.720
a child into the world, a girl who was named Sandra.114001:13:18.760 --> 01:13:21.720
In the years that followed, she grew into an extremely114101:13:22.119 --> 01:13:27.359
beautiful and the clever child. My story begins the day114201:13:27.439 --> 01:13:31.079
that Martha, the housekeeper, was finishing her duties for the114301:13:31.199 --> 01:13:31.840
last time.114401:13:34.039 --> 01:13:38.079
Sundra, come in here. I want to see you, Sundra.114501:13:38.680 --> 01:13:40.039
Were you calling me, Martha?114601:13:40.880 --> 01:13:43.840
Yes, I told you to come right home after school.114701:13:44.319 --> 01:13:44.960
Where have you been?114801:13:45.159 --> 01:13:45.319
Oh?114901:13:45.439 --> 01:13:46.800
I'm sorry, Martha.115001:13:47.199 --> 01:13:49.000
I didn't hear you tell me to come home night115101:13:49.039 --> 01:13:49.680
after school.115201:13:50.039 --> 01:13:53.159
I'm sorry, truly, I am save. You're acting for your father,115301:13:53.279 --> 01:13:57.479
young lady. It hasn't fooled me for a long time, Saunder,115401:13:57.560 --> 01:13:59.640
since your mother died, to becoming more and more of115501:13:59.720 --> 01:14:03.159
a pro every day. Well, at least after the night,115601:14:03.159 --> 01:14:04.560
I won't have to put up with your lives and115701:14:04.600 --> 01:14:07.560
your thousand and one little tricks. What do you mean, Martha,115801:14:07.920 --> 01:14:10.760
your father won't be meeting a housekeeper any more. I'm115901:14:10.840 --> 01:14:15.479
leaving tonight. But why well, I'm not supposed to tell you.116001:14:16.479 --> 01:14:19.000
You may as well know now as later. Your father116101:14:19.159 --> 01:14:21.520
is bringing home a new mother for you tonight, a116201:14:21.680 --> 01:14:24.359
new mother. Yes, he's just married again.116301:14:24.520 --> 01:14:26.319
But I don't want a new mother. Daddy and I116401:14:26.439 --> 01:14:27.920
don't need anyone else. We're happy the.116501:14:27.920 --> 01:14:29.800
Way we are. Andra, stop screaming.116601:14:29.920 --> 01:14:31.000
I won't have it, do you hear?116701:14:31.079 --> 01:14:31.760
I won't have it.116801:14:32.239 --> 01:14:35.039
Your new mother's a very fine woman. I met her116901:14:35.119 --> 01:14:35.600
last time.117001:14:35.800 --> 01:14:36.399
I hate her.117101:14:36.520 --> 01:14:37.079
I hate her.117201:14:37.399 --> 01:14:39.319
Daddy's mine and no one else that she hasn't any117301:14:39.399 --> 01:14:39.840
right to it.117401:14:39.920 --> 01:14:41.920
If you don't stop that screaming, I'll tell your father117501:14:42.000 --> 01:14:42.880
when he comes home to night.117601:14:43.000 --> 01:14:44.199
Oh no, no, no, don't do that.117701:14:44.680 --> 01:14:48.880
I'll be good, but I hate her and I always will.117801:14:49.159 --> 01:14:49.880
Never stap.117901:14:50.640 --> 01:14:54.279
That's a fine way to talk. Perhaps ought to warn118001:14:54.359 --> 01:14:58.880
the poor woman about Sandra. And it's not of my business. Besides,118101:14:58.960 --> 01:15:14.000
she'll find out about it soon enough. And it's ridiculous118201:15:14.039 --> 01:15:16.079
you're carrying me across the thresholder nodding.118301:15:16.159 --> 01:15:17.960
It's tradition in my family to carry the bride over118401:15:18.039 --> 01:15:18.560
the threshold.118501:15:19.439 --> 01:15:24.800
There you are, Oh, Stephen, what a lovely.118601:15:25.720 --> 01:15:27.960
You haven't seen the best part of it yet, Sandra.118701:15:28.239 --> 01:15:29.640
Do you think she'll like me? Stephen?118801:15:30.000 --> 01:15:32.239
I do so want or too, of course you will.118901:15:32.359 --> 01:15:34.479
Perhaps you should have told her about us instead of119001:15:34.560 --> 01:15:35.359
breaking it to her so.119101:15:35.479 --> 01:15:38.840
Unexpectedly, like, Oh, nonsense, Helen. I know my daughter. She's119201:15:38.880 --> 01:15:41.479
a wonderful child, and she'll fall madly in love with119301:15:41.560 --> 01:15:45.039
you at the first sight. This as her father did. Sandra,119401:15:45.279 --> 01:15:48.439
Where are you, daddy, Yeddy Merily.119501:15:48.439 --> 01:15:49.319
I'm so glad?119601:15:49.760 --> 01:15:54.439
Are you dudding dead? I have a surprise for you,119701:15:54.760 --> 01:15:59.680
A surprise, Sandra. This is Helen, Helen. I want you119801:15:59.720 --> 01:16:05.560
to meet my daughter, Sandra. Hello, Sandra, Hello darling. Yeah, surprise.119901:16:05.680 --> 01:16:09.920
I just mentioned is Helen. We were married this afternoon.120001:16:10.439 --> 01:16:12.039
That means that Helen is now your mother.120101:16:12.239 --> 01:16:15.479
Oh, daddy, that's wonderful. No, I'll have a mother just120201:16:15.600 --> 01:16:16.680
like all the other girls do.120301:16:16.920 --> 01:16:17.039
Oh.120401:16:17.119 --> 01:16:20.600
I'm so glad, so am I Sandra, And I'm sure120501:16:20.680 --> 01:16:22.680
we're all going to be very happy to get that.120601:16:22.800 --> 01:16:23.560
Of course we are.120701:16:33.479 --> 01:16:36.640
That night, after the family had said goodbye to Martha120801:16:36.720 --> 01:16:40.560
and seen her off, Sandra was sent to bed. She120901:16:40.760 --> 01:16:45.880
lay quietly in the darkness, thinking occasionally she would speak121001:16:45.960 --> 01:16:47.640
softly to her door Barbara.121101:16:49.319 --> 01:16:52.640
She hasn't any right being here, Barbara. Daddy and I121201:16:52.760 --> 01:16:56.640
were perfectly happy until she came along tonight. He didn't121301:16:56.640 --> 01:17:00.920
even notice me, just kept looking at her. Well, she121401:17:01.159 --> 01:17:02.119
shan't have him.121501:17:02.560 --> 01:17:05.119
He's always been mine and he always will be.121601:17:20.520 --> 01:17:20.840
Fish.121701:17:21.319 --> 01:17:22.119
That's enough of that.121801:17:23.039 --> 01:17:24.319
Now, let me see.121901:17:36.000 --> 01:17:38.079
This is the second time this afternoon I've lost your122001:17:38.119 --> 01:17:40.479
not to found the keys that way. That's no way122101:17:40.520 --> 01:17:44.279
to play unsigned, mother. It's not only the piano, dear.122201:17:45.159 --> 01:17:47.960
There are many other little things, and you pay no122301:17:48.039 --> 01:17:49.680
attention when I speak to you about them.122401:17:49.840 --> 01:17:52.159
I don't mean to do them, mother, I just forget.122501:17:52.439 --> 01:17:55.279
Well, please try to remember, dear. Now, I want you122601:17:55.359 --> 01:17:57.520
to play the piano which you did last night for Daddy.122701:17:58.039 --> 01:17:59.079
He was very please.122801:17:59.560 --> 01:18:14.720
Yes, yes, mother, I thought I asked you to stop122901:18:14.760 --> 01:18:17.239
pawning the piano like that. But mother, I was just123001:18:17.359 --> 01:18:19.079
composing a new piece for Daddy.123101:18:19.600 --> 01:18:23.560
That wasn't music, Sondra, but just noise. That'll be enough123201:18:23.640 --> 01:18:24.039
for to day.123301:18:36.520 --> 01:18:38.479
Hello, beet phone, how are you darling?123401:18:40.600 --> 01:18:43.720
Well, I wasn't sender the door to meet me. She's123501:18:43.760 --> 01:18:44.399
all right, didn't she?123601:18:44.880 --> 01:18:45.520
Of course? Dear?123701:18:46.439 --> 01:18:48.079
Uh Stephen.123801:18:49.520 --> 01:18:52.680
I was a bit angry with Sondra this afternoon, angry123901:18:52.800 --> 01:18:56.760
with Hi, what do you do? Well? Several times this124001:18:56.880 --> 01:18:59.840
afternoon I had to speak to her about pawning the124101:18:59.880 --> 01:19:01.520
piano being loud and.124201:19:01.560 --> 01:19:05.159
Discordant, and that isn't like Sandra. You know how well124301:19:05.239 --> 01:19:05.680
she plays.124401:19:06.000 --> 01:19:09.079
Yes, of course that wasn't the way she played today.124501:19:10.159 --> 01:19:12.800
Oh, I'll go up and see her all right.124601:19:13.600 --> 01:19:35.279
Supper was through. What's oh daddy, Daddy, what's wrong?124701:19:36.920 --> 01:19:37.880
You'll never cry.124801:19:39.239 --> 01:19:41.800
I was only trying to compose a new piece for124901:19:41.920 --> 01:19:43.560
your birthday next month.125001:19:43.720 --> 01:19:45.000
A new piece for my birthday.125101:19:45.720 --> 01:19:47.960
Yes, I wanted to surprise you.125201:19:51.039 --> 01:19:54.399
You mustn't pay. I'm sure, mother, I understand. You didn't125301:19:54.399 --> 01:19:57.279
mean to be bad. Now here, let me wipe your tears.125401:19:58.279 --> 01:20:02.279
Oh daddy, I love you. So I just wanted to125501:20:02.359 --> 01:20:04.239
compose something wonderful for you.125601:20:04.560 --> 01:20:05.640
I understand, Darlie.125701:20:06.159 --> 01:20:08.800
Oh Eddy, you always understand.125801:20:20.680 --> 01:20:23.600
It's up a right down m for Sondra.125901:20:24.159 --> 01:20:28.720
She'll be down in a minute. Helen, Yes, Stephen, she126001:20:28.880 --> 01:20:30.880
really didn't mean to pound on the piano and get126101:20:30.920 --> 01:20:33.520
on your nerves. It's just she was trying to compose126201:20:33.600 --> 01:20:34.359
a new piece for me.126301:20:34.920 --> 01:20:37.840
But Stephen, it wasn't music. It was just noise.126401:20:38.199 --> 01:20:41.720
Well, it mustn't be harsh. Whether you know what children126501:20:41.800 --> 01:20:44.079
are like in their enthusiasm, They forget what they're told.126601:20:44.199 --> 01:20:48.960
But Stephen, I don't know exactly what to say.126701:20:49.800 --> 01:20:52.479
It's just a question of being patient with her winning126801:20:52.520 --> 01:20:53.880
her love, all.126901:20:53.840 --> 01:20:57.119
Right, Stephen. Perhaps I was a bit impatient with her.127001:20:58.319 --> 01:21:00.439
You know, I want nothing more than for the three127101:21:00.479 --> 01:21:01.640
of us to be happy together.127201:21:01.920 --> 01:21:04.600
I know that Darling and the three of us will127301:21:04.680 --> 01:21:05.439
be happy together.127401:21:11.560 --> 01:21:15.199
In the weeks that followed, Helen tried to overlook Sandra's127501:21:15.359 --> 01:21:18.920
slamming of doors and constant droppings of objects and other127601:21:19.560 --> 01:21:23.960
nerve racking incidents. In time, she felt Sandra would come127701:21:24.000 --> 01:21:26.560
to accept her love and guidance.127801:21:27.159 --> 01:21:29.359
It was just a matter of patience.127901:21:31.039 --> 01:21:33.359
Sondra, is that you yet, mother?128001:21:34.159 --> 01:21:35.760
Please sit down there. I want to talk to you,128101:21:35.920 --> 01:21:36.880
all right, but do her.128201:21:37.079 --> 01:21:39.199
Daddy'll be home soon, Sandra.128301:21:40.039 --> 01:21:42.279
Every day I've been giving you milk money for school.128401:21:43.199 --> 01:21:45.319
Why haven't you been buying milk with that money? But128501:21:45.520 --> 01:21:48.640
I have been, mother, not Please, Sandra, I won't punish you.128601:21:49.319 --> 01:21:50.760
I just want to know what you've been doing with128701:21:50.840 --> 01:21:51.279
that money.128801:21:51.600 --> 01:21:52.920
I've been buying milk with.128901:21:53.039 --> 01:21:56.680
It, please missus. Gordon, your teacher told me you haven't129001:21:56.680 --> 01:21:58.760
bought and looked for almost a month now, but I have.129101:21:58.960 --> 01:22:01.920
She just Gondre, I won't have you lying to me.129201:22:03.119 --> 01:22:05.159
Now that's your father. We'll see what he has to129301:22:05.159 --> 01:22:05.680
say about this.129401:22:08.800 --> 01:22:09.920
You don't understand.129501:22:10.439 --> 01:22:12.880
You just don't understand, Stephen.129601:22:16.840 --> 01:22:17.800
What are you about?129701:22:18.159 --> 01:22:22.680
I'm sorry, Stephen, but I think you better speak to her.129801:22:23.039 --> 01:22:25.119
You just do it, juststand.129901:22:26.640 --> 01:22:29.039
Missus Gordon. Her teacher told me to day that for130001:22:29.159 --> 01:22:31.840
the past month Sonder hasn't been buying milk? What enough money?130101:22:31.880 --> 01:22:33.039
Is that true?130201:22:33.119 --> 01:22:35.920
And what's worse? Stephen? When I asked Sandra about it,130301:22:36.039 --> 01:22:38.199
she lies and said that she had been buying milk.130401:22:40.520 --> 01:22:42.119
Isn't like you to lie about things.130501:22:42.720 --> 01:22:46.039
I didn't mean to lie about it. I just wanted130601:22:46.079 --> 01:22:55.199
to give it a surprise your birthday present. I saved130701:22:55.279 --> 01:22:57.720
my milk money so that I can buy you a pike.130801:22:59.000 --> 01:23:03.079
It's hearing this for you, Sondra. Did you know I'd130901:23:03.079 --> 01:23:05.359
have given you money to buy a birthday present for Daddy.131001:23:05.520 --> 01:23:08.720
It isn't the same thing. I wanted to buy my131101:23:08.800 --> 01:23:10.199
present with my own money.131201:23:11.119 --> 01:23:14.560
I'm sorry so well. You might have told me about131301:23:14.600 --> 01:23:15.680
it when I asked you, and.131401:23:15.760 --> 01:23:18.760
Then it wouldn't have been a real surprise. I didn't131501:23:18.800 --> 01:23:20.079
want a surprise.131601:23:19.760 --> 01:23:23.119
Daddy, so would you have that this is a beautiful pipe.131701:23:23.319 --> 01:23:27.359
No surprise is spoiled. Your brisday isn't till tomorrow.131801:23:29.600 --> 01:23:31.319
It means I'll be able to smoke this pipe tonight.131901:23:32.960 --> 01:23:35.319
Stop trying. You go upstairs and wash your face and132001:23:35.399 --> 01:23:35.720
hair man.132101:23:37.520 --> 01:23:38.600
All right, daddy.132201:23:40.680 --> 01:23:43.800
I'm sorry, Stephen, but I had no idea what she'd132301:23:43.840 --> 01:23:45.720
done with the money, and she did lie when I132401:23:45.760 --> 01:23:46.479
asked her about it.132501:23:47.239 --> 01:23:49.199
If you don't have a little more faith in heaven,132601:23:50.079 --> 01:23:52.920
I know it's difficult to understand her times, but that's132701:23:53.000 --> 01:23:55.520
because as a child she looks at things differently.132801:23:56.319 --> 01:23:59.680
I'm sorry, Stephen if you think I'll fail.132901:23:59.520 --> 01:24:01.840
With her what happened to Helen. I'm sure that in133001:24:01.960 --> 01:24:03.640
times she'll come to love you as much as she133101:24:03.720 --> 01:24:04.079
loves me.133201:24:05.159 --> 01:24:08.760
I don't know, Stephen. I often wonder about that.133301:24:14.640 --> 01:24:18.600
Because the weeks went by, Helen found herself coming no133401:24:18.800 --> 01:24:23.560
closer to winning Sandra's confidence. It wasn't that Sandra was unfriendly,133501:24:24.119 --> 01:24:27.680
but there was an air of reserve about her which133601:24:27.800 --> 01:24:32.800
vanished only in her father's presence. Helen felt Stephen watching133701:24:32.880 --> 01:24:37.119
her anxiously when Sandra was about and start to reassure him.133801:24:38.039 --> 01:24:44.199
Her one thought was to preserve their happiness. Hello Helen, Hello, dear,133901:24:45.079 --> 01:24:46.000
what happened to that phase?134001:24:46.079 --> 01:24:47.720
Dear Sandra broke it?134101:24:49.560 --> 01:24:51.560
No accidents will happen, Stephen.134201:24:51.840 --> 01:24:53.840
This is the fourth piece he's broken in two weeks,134301:24:54.279 --> 01:24:56.119
and each of them were pieces of treasured and had134401:24:56.199 --> 01:24:56.720
for years.134501:24:57.119 --> 01:25:00.560
Hens though Sandra deliberately broken those vases because they were yours.134601:25:00.640 --> 01:25:02.560
Well, why is it the morning my things are broken?134701:25:03.199 --> 01:25:05.319
Surely you don't believe she's deliberately breaking your things?134801:25:05.359 --> 01:25:07.760
I don't want to believe. The first few times I134901:25:07.800 --> 01:25:12.039
thought it was an accident. But no, oh, Priest, that's not.135001:25:12.960 --> 01:25:15.399
Perhaps I'm wrong, I admit I have any proof. It's135101:25:16.119 --> 01:25:18.039
it's just all the little things adding up.135201:25:18.600 --> 01:25:19.800
Allen, what are you talking about?135301:25:20.840 --> 01:25:22.960
Oh, you wouldn't understand even if I told you.135401:25:25.159 --> 01:25:26.279
Sandra in a room.135501:25:26.279 --> 01:25:26.800
I suppose.135601:25:27.199 --> 01:25:29.199
Well I'll go up and see what she's doing. Now,135701:25:29.439 --> 01:25:44.960
all right, Sandra, it's daddy. You in your room. M135801:25:45.560 --> 01:25:51.159
it's funny, shouldn't hear? Well? What's this? Don't interested me?135901:25:52.880 --> 01:25:56.119
Dear Daddy. I'm sorry about the broken vein. Tried my136001:25:56.239 --> 01:25:58.279
best to be a good girl, but everything I do136101:25:58.439 --> 01:26:04.520
seems wrong and make mother very unhappy. So I'm running away.136201:26:05.399 --> 01:26:07.920
I love you very much and always worth your daughter, Sandra.136301:26:16.439 --> 01:26:19.359
After searching vainly for an hour in the dark and cold,136401:26:20.119 --> 01:26:24.520
Stephen returned and notified the police. All through the long136501:26:24.600 --> 01:26:27.680
hours of the night, I and Helen said up, not136601:26:27.880 --> 01:26:31.720
saying a word, each afraid to speak a fear of136701:26:31.800 --> 01:26:35.680
what might be said. As the first rays of dawn showed,136801:26:36.000 --> 01:26:40.800
the doorbell rang, Stephen rushed to answer it.136901:26:42.079 --> 01:26:50.239
Mister Hamilton from the fifty fifth Street station. Mister Hamilton,137001:26:50.479 --> 01:26:51.600
one of the officers on the force.137101:26:51.760 --> 01:26:54.039
Just founder, thank you, thank you very much for bringing137201:26:54.079 --> 01:26:54.399
her home.137301:26:54.680 --> 01:26:56.800
Oh that's all right, mister Hamilton. This is a job.137401:26:57.039 --> 01:27:02.560
Goodbye, goodbye. Head there, dear, don't cry, Oh.137501:27:02.560 --> 01:27:05.640
Daddy, it was so dark out there, and I thought137601:27:05.640 --> 01:27:07.000
I'd never see you again.137701:27:07.479 --> 01:27:08.319
What the thing to say?137801:27:08.479 --> 01:27:11.560
How do you feel so good? You want me to137901:27:11.600 --> 01:27:18.199
take ste I'll do it, Hen, right, Stephen, just as138001:27:18.239 --> 01:27:18.600
you say.138101:27:30.239 --> 01:27:30.760
Is she all right?138201:27:30.840 --> 01:27:31.199
Stephen?138301:27:32.000 --> 01:27:35.880
You just tet asleep. I hope her being out all138401:27:35.960 --> 01:27:38.359
night won't have any after Stephen.138501:27:39.479 --> 01:27:41.479
You'll feel I'm to blame for her running away, don't you.138601:27:42.079 --> 01:27:47.039
Of course not, Helen. It's just that well, you don't138701:27:47.039 --> 01:27:48.720
seem to understand there, Stephen.138801:27:48.760 --> 01:27:52.479
I've tried so hard. Oh, it's no use. She doesn't138901:27:52.520 --> 01:27:54.039
walk me here, never has, Helen.139001:27:54.079 --> 01:27:56.159
How can you talk like that? Why she was delighted139101:27:56.199 --> 01:27:57.640
the day I brought you here as my wife.139201:27:57.760 --> 01:28:00.479
Yes, I thought she was in the beginning, but now139301:28:00.520 --> 01:28:03.720
I know she was just pretending, pretending. Yes, Stephen, from139401:28:03.760 --> 01:28:06.119
the first moment she saw me, she resented me. She139501:28:06.239 --> 01:28:08.760
feels I've come between you, taking her place and your affection.139601:28:09.039 --> 01:28:10.319
Helen, happy you say such a thing?139701:28:10.439 --> 01:28:12.399
True? I tell you she sees me as a.139801:28:12.520 --> 01:28:14.880
Rival for your love. You're just imagining all I know.139901:28:15.000 --> 01:28:15.439
I tell you.140001:28:17.119 --> 01:28:17.800
It's no use.140101:28:18.079 --> 01:28:20.119
We can't go on this way. What do you mean?140201:28:20.880 --> 01:28:23.399
Don't you see we aren't happy anymore.140301:28:24.399 --> 01:28:28.880
Instead of things improving to get worse, Perhaps it would140401:28:28.920 --> 01:28:30.640
be best if we were to separate.140501:28:30.359 --> 01:28:34.039
Helen, Helen, I won't hear of it. I love you, darling.140601:28:35.119 --> 01:28:38.560
I wouldn't want to live without you. Whatever misunderstandings we140701:28:38.640 --> 01:28:41.239
may have about Sandra, I'm sure it can straighten them out.140801:28:41.359 --> 01:28:42.520
I don't know, Stephen.140901:28:42.720 --> 01:28:45.000
If you love me, Helen, you won't give up so easily.141001:28:46.279 --> 01:28:48.319
Please say you won't leave.141101:28:49.800 --> 01:28:54.319
Oh right, Stephen, I won't leave. Perhaps we will be141201:28:54.399 --> 01:28:55.359
able to work this out.141301:28:56.439 --> 01:29:14.119
I hope so, Sandra. Sandra, you wait, darling. Yes, Daddy, Sandra,141401:29:15.560 --> 01:29:17.399
Mother and I were very upset when you ran away141501:29:17.439 --> 01:29:20.479
last night. Mother seems to think you ran away because141601:29:20.520 --> 01:29:24.920
you you couldn't get along with her. She felt so141701:29:25.039 --> 01:29:28.680
badly about it. She wanted to go away. She did, yes,141801:29:30.159 --> 01:29:31.840
but I told her how much we both loved and141901:29:31.960 --> 01:29:39.000
needed her. So she's promised to stay. Oh, I see, Sandra.142001:29:40.159 --> 01:29:42.520
You will try to be a good girl and do142101:29:42.600 --> 01:29:45.960
his mother wants, won't you? It would make Daddy very happy.142201:29:46.239 --> 01:29:48.479
Oh, Daddy, I do anything to make you happy.142301:29:48.600 --> 01:29:52.279
Anything that's a good girl, darling. Now you get up142401:29:52.279 --> 01:29:54.359
and get dressed. I'll wait for you downstairs.142501:29:54.439 --> 01:29:54.760
All right.142601:29:54.920 --> 01:29:59.880
Daddy just doesn't understand he should have let her.142701:30:00.319 --> 01:30:01.279
But she's still here.142801:30:02.159 --> 01:30:03.279
She's going to stay.142901:30:03.920 --> 01:30:04.560
I won't have it.143001:30:05.239 --> 01:30:06.840
I won't have it. I hate her.143101:30:13.439 --> 01:30:17.560
A week past, a week in which Sandra's behavior pleased143201:30:17.640 --> 01:30:20.199
Helen know, and at last it seemed they were going143301:30:20.239 --> 01:30:24.279
to be the happy families she had always dreamed they would.143401:30:24.159 --> 01:30:28.720
Be, Helen. Yes, will you bring my coat with you143501:30:28.760 --> 01:30:30.399
when you come downstairs? Sandra?143601:30:30.439 --> 01:30:35.199
And not going for a walk, Daddy, can we walk143701:30:35.239 --> 01:30:35.880
down to the river.143801:30:36.079 --> 01:30:37.239
Oh, we won't have enough time for that.143901:30:39.399 --> 01:30:41.239
I have your coat, but I have fun to scar.144001:30:41.479 --> 01:30:43.359
Oh the scar's down here. Ellen, just bring the code.144101:30:50.239 --> 01:30:54.720
H Helen, you all right? Don't speak to me, daddy.144201:30:55.159 --> 01:30:56.760
Is she dead?144301:30:57.239 --> 01:31:00.760
No, Sandra, don't talk like that. Quick phone, doctor Smith.144401:31:00.800 --> 01:31:01.319
At once.144501:31:09.039 --> 01:31:12.399
I arrived at the Hamilton home to find Helen suffering144601:31:12.439 --> 01:31:17.840
from shock, but otherwise unhurt. I was somewhat disturbed, however,144701:31:17.960 --> 01:31:20.760
to find her very nervous and run down.144801:31:23.039 --> 01:31:24.279
She'll be all right, won't you? Doctor?144901:31:24.600 --> 01:31:28.279
Yes, of course. I'm going to leave you a prescription,145001:31:28.399 --> 01:31:31.840
missus Hamilton. It's something that will have quiet your nerves.145101:31:32.439 --> 01:31:36.439
Are You're to take it twice a day. Eh, here's145201:31:36.479 --> 01:31:38.880
the prescription, mister Hamilton. Thank you doctor.145301:31:39.399 --> 01:31:42.520
I'll have it. Failed at once, Well, Sandra, how are you?145401:31:42.760 --> 01:31:44.840
You've been so quiet? I hardly knew you were here.145501:31:45.279 --> 01:31:46.279
I'm fine, Thank you.145601:31:47.000 --> 01:31:49.640
You're growing up to be quite a young lady.145701:31:50.600 --> 01:31:53.279
Are you still traveled by nightmares?145801:31:53.760 --> 01:31:53.920
Yes?145901:31:54.000 --> 01:31:55.840
She still has them once in a while. No, it's146001:31:55.960 --> 01:31:59.640
just her nerves. If she continues to have them, you146101:31:59.760 --> 01:32:01.640
might give us some of the medicine. I've prescribed for146201:32:01.720 --> 01:32:02.159
your wife.146301:32:03.279 --> 01:32:03.439
There.146401:32:03.880 --> 01:32:07.800
I must be leaving good bye missus Hamilton, and stay146501:32:07.840 --> 01:32:10.680
in bed a few days. I will doctor goodbye goodbye.146601:32:10.760 --> 01:32:15.960
Like well, darling. It gave us quite a scare.146701:32:16.880 --> 01:32:20.079
Yes, I I slipped on something on the top step.146801:32:21.520 --> 01:32:24.000
I must have slipped on the marble, dear. I found146901:32:24.039 --> 01:32:25.399
seven or eight of them on the top step.147001:32:26.119 --> 01:32:31.640
Marble, Sondra, Were they your marbles? No, Mother, they belonged147101:32:31.680 --> 01:32:34.119
to Margie. She must have left them on the stairs147201:32:34.159 --> 01:32:35.119
when we were playing here.147301:32:35.680 --> 01:32:38.800
Oh, I see it wasn't my fault, truly it was.147401:32:39.000 --> 01:32:42.239
Of course it wasn't. Mother knows you wouldn't be marbles147501:32:42.319 --> 01:32:47.000
lying around where she could slip on them, isn't that so, Ellen, Stephen.147601:32:48.119 --> 01:33:01.399
I'm sure Sondra wouldn't want anything to happen to me. Sondra,147701:33:01.800 --> 01:33:04.479
will you come into mother's room and mamma please? Yes, Mother,147801:33:05.079 --> 01:33:07.119
the medicine that doctor Smith prescribed for me is in147901:33:07.199 --> 01:33:09.399
the bathroom. Will you get it for me? Please? All right, mother,148001:33:09.520 --> 01:33:11.319
you'll find it in the medicine chest. It's in a148101:33:11.359 --> 01:33:11.960
blue bottle.148201:33:12.199 --> 01:33:14.399
Yes, I know what it looks like. Oh, here it is.148301:33:14.520 --> 01:33:17.239
That's fine, Solder, Just bring it to me. Here you are, mother,148401:33:17.439 --> 01:33:20.840
Thank you. Dear, Oh Sondra, This isn't the medicine that148501:33:20.920 --> 01:33:23.479
doctor Smith prescribed for me. Didn't you read the label?148601:33:24.000 --> 01:33:25.199
This bottle has poison in it.148701:33:25.560 --> 01:33:26.000
Poison?148801:33:26.159 --> 01:33:28.600
Why, Yes, it's right here in red letters on the label.148901:33:29.000 --> 01:33:31.800
I'm sorry, but this bottle is blue too. It looks149001:33:31.880 --> 01:33:33.159
just like the one with your medicine.149101:33:33.600 --> 01:33:36.159
Yes, it doesn't that. Now I'll put this bottle of149201:33:36.199 --> 01:33:38.920
poison back and get me my medicine. Yes, mother, I'll149301:33:38.960 --> 01:33:41.199
have to get rid of that poison. It's too dangerous149401:33:41.199 --> 01:33:42.199
to keep in the medicine chest.149501:33:42.399 --> 01:33:45.479
Would have been awful if you took the poison, wouldn't him, Mother, Well,149601:33:45.560 --> 01:33:46.399
you might have died.149701:33:55.159 --> 01:33:56.319
No way, go away.149801:33:56.880 --> 01:33:58.640
I hate to hate you.149901:33:59.199 --> 01:34:00.920
He's mine, you said, Heaven.150001:34:04.399 --> 01:34:07.520
Wake up. You're heaving a nightmare.150101:34:07.960 --> 01:34:11.039
Daddy, don't leave me, don't.150201:34:13.600 --> 01:34:18.800
She's so frightened, Sling.150301:34:19.039 --> 01:34:26.079
There's nothing to cry about now, I frighten, Pasey.150401:34:26.159 --> 01:34:26.680
Don't leave me.150501:34:27.960 --> 01:34:29.640
I'm not trying to leave you. I'm just trying to150601:34:29.640 --> 01:34:30.600
see what mother wants.150701:34:34.239 --> 01:34:38.439
What is it, Stephen? Doctor Smith said she had a nightmare.150801:34:38.600 --> 01:34:40.680
Some of the medicine he prescribed for me would help her.150901:34:41.479 --> 01:34:43.159
Sander doesn't like taking medicine.151001:34:43.239 --> 01:34:45.359
But this medicine is very easy to take, and I'll151101:34:45.399 --> 01:34:46.239
have her asleep.151201:34:45.960 --> 01:34:47.600
In no time if you think it's best.151301:34:47.800 --> 01:34:49.560
Yes, I'm sure it is. Now you go back to151401:34:49.680 --> 01:34:51.560
Sonda while I get the medicine and a glass.151501:34:57.159 --> 01:34:59.119
You must stop here crying. Daddy's here.151601:34:59.640 --> 01:35:02.640
Don't Oh wait, daddy, I want you to stay with me.151701:35:05.880 --> 01:35:07.880
What were you dreaming about dere No.151801:35:08.039 --> 01:35:10.479
No, it was also fixed up.151901:35:11.319 --> 01:35:14.520
Oh daddy, will you always love me more than anybody152001:35:14.600 --> 01:35:15.399
else in the world?152101:35:15.560 --> 01:35:16.039
Of course?152201:35:17.000 --> 01:35:20.159
No, stop your cry, all right, I haven't Now I152301:35:20.239 --> 01:35:21.359
can just have Sandra sit up.152401:35:22.079 --> 01:35:24.439
Come on, that's it.152501:35:26.439 --> 01:35:27.399
What's mother doing.152601:35:27.840 --> 01:35:32.399
She's buying you some medicine. It'll help you sleep downing medicine. Yes,152701:35:33.000 --> 01:35:35.319
it's the same medicine mother takes for her own nurs.152801:35:35.239 --> 01:35:36.479
No, no, I don't want it.152901:35:36.520 --> 01:35:38.720
Not please Sondra. It'll make it feel much better.153001:35:39.039 --> 01:35:40.359
Don't come near me. I don't want it.153101:35:41.239 --> 01:35:42.960
Takes it twice a day, there's nothing to no.153201:35:43.199 --> 01:35:43.920
I won't take it.153301:35:44.039 --> 01:35:44.720
I want.153401:35:46.960 --> 01:35:51.560
None. She'll have us up all night. She doesn't take it. Now, Sandra,153501:35:51.680 --> 01:35:53.760
stop being a baby and take this medicine.153601:35:53.800 --> 01:35:55.439
No, Daddy, do let her make me take it.153701:35:55.560 --> 01:35:58.760
Don't letter, sand Are you gonna let me give you153801:35:58.840 --> 01:36:00.960
this cat? Or you have to make you take?153901:36:01.119 --> 01:36:01.159
No?154001:36:01.399 --> 01:36:04.439
No, it don't kill me, it will me old ja.154101:36:04.439 --> 01:36:10.159
Head that said no, Sandra, stop cleansing your teeth, your path?154201:36:10.319 --> 01:36:10.720
Do you hear?154301:36:14.760 --> 01:36:14.960
Then?154401:36:15.359 --> 01:36:18.039
Is taking its over? Nothing?154501:36:19.319 --> 01:36:29.640
Hello? So you're what's wrong? Tell him called doctor Smith?154601:36:29.640 --> 01:36:31.239
Tell him it's an emergency.154701:36:32.760 --> 01:36:41.319
Stephen Us, Doctor Smith.154801:36:42.439 --> 01:36:44.920
She's been unconscious for ten minutes. Now, doctor, you must154901:36:44.960 --> 01:36:51.840
do something. I'm afraid it's too late, mister Hamilton, she's dead.155001:36:51.960 --> 01:36:54.520
Oh no, she can't be.155101:36:55.239 --> 01:37:00.279
I'm sorry, how can she be? We are the game.155201:37:00.399 --> 01:37:04.359
The medicine you prescribed for Helen, Yes, sure it is, but.155301:37:04.760 --> 01:37:07.039
This medicine wouldn't kill her. It's only a nerve tonic.155401:37:07.159 --> 01:37:10.760
You can see, doctor, What is it?155501:37:11.520 --> 01:37:14.039
Hey? This is the bottle? All right, But the medicine155601:37:14.079 --> 01:37:16.359
in it isn't the medicine I prescribed. It is.155701:37:16.800 --> 01:37:18.079
I took some of it last night.155801:37:18.159 --> 01:37:21.159
I assure you. This isn't the medicine I prescribed. And155901:37:21.279 --> 01:37:25.800
what isn't that bottle? It smells like carbolic acid? Carbolic acid?156001:37:25.880 --> 01:37:26.800
That's impossible.156101:37:27.199 --> 01:37:27.960
Look at the label.156201:37:28.000 --> 01:37:29.319
You can see it's my medicine.156301:37:29.359 --> 01:37:32.680
Yes, the label's right, but someone poured out the medicine156401:37:32.680 --> 01:37:35.319
I prescribed and replaced it with carbonic acid.156501:37:35.720 --> 01:37:38.680
But why, why should anyone want to do such a thing?156601:37:39.359 --> 01:37:41.000
Who could possibly want to kill Sandra?156701:37:41.920 --> 01:37:42.720
Everyone loved her?156801:37:42.800 --> 01:37:48.560
Ask Helen, She'll tell you that, Sandra, Stephen.156901:37:49.640 --> 01:37:52.800
Why are you looking at me like that? Sure you157001:37:52.840 --> 01:37:55.439
don't believe I poisoned her? Stephen?157101:37:56.479 --> 01:38:18.479
No, No, this is the Mysterious Traveler again. Have you157201:38:18.720 --> 01:38:19.960
enjoyed our little trip?157301:38:21.279 --> 01:38:24.399
By the way, do you have a child in your home?157401:38:25.199 --> 01:38:28.039
If so, I do trust it isn't angry with you.157501:38:29.000 --> 01:38:33.159
You can't be too careful with children. I recall another157601:38:33.319 --> 01:38:37.199
child who, after being punished by his parents, took a razor.157701:38:37.319 --> 01:38:41.560
And oh, you're getting off at the next stop. I'm sorry.157801:38:42.600 --> 01:38:46.520
Perhaps you'll join me again soon. I take this same157901:38:46.720 --> 01:38:57.680
train every week at the same time. You've just heard158001:38:57.800 --> 01:39:02.000
chapter thirteen of The Mysterious, a series of dramas of158101:39:02.079 --> 01:39:04.960
the strange and unusual, brought to you each week by158201:39:05.039 --> 01:39:09.399
Station w o R. In tonight's program, The Good Die Young,158301:39:09.960 --> 01:39:14.279
Betty Jane Tyler played Sondra The Mysterious Traveler, written by158401:39:14.399 --> 01:39:17.840
Bob Arthur and David Cogan. Is directed by Jack McGregor.158501:39:18.359 --> 01:39:20.319
Original music was played by Doc Whipple.158601:39:32.479 --> 01:39:38.880
I do apologize. I wasn't really planning on feeling so nostalgic,158701:39:39.079 --> 01:39:44.000
but I am an old fool, and I suppose that's158801:39:44.119 --> 01:39:46.119
my right. Oh what's that?158901:39:46.840 --> 01:39:47.039
Well?159001:39:48.399 --> 01:39:53.239
I can't say exactly how I wish that I could.159101:39:53.319 --> 01:39:58.640
I'm not being coy or hm cryptic. No, no, no,159201:40:00.279 --> 01:40:02.720
don't have the information to share with you, my dear.159301:40:04.960 --> 01:40:10.359
As time goes on, I realize so many things, so159401:40:10.560 --> 01:40:15.520
many things that make me happy and make me sad.159501:40:17.239 --> 01:40:23.560
But most of all, I've realized that men call me mad.159601:40:31.000 --> 01:40:55.199
Dog fantasy, men call me mad Doctor West. Please close159701:40:55.239 --> 01:40:59.880
the door suddenly, doctor Tagoon. Now, gentlemen, I have summoned you,159801:41:00.239 --> 01:41:03.159
my two trusted and loyal friends, to divulge a secret159901:41:03.239 --> 01:41:05.960
that even I myself can hardly comprehend. You made a160001:41:06.079 --> 01:41:13.199
new discovery, Charles discovery. Yes, I have found another world.160101:41:13.600 --> 01:41:18.960
What another world? You say? Exactly? Would you please snap160201:41:19.039 --> 01:41:20.560
off the lights? Docture? Now that switched? There?160301:41:20.720 --> 01:41:20.920
Yeah?160401:41:21.159 --> 01:41:21.640
Certainly.160501:41:23.560 --> 01:41:27.039
Now, by means of this special projection machine, I'm going160601:41:27.119 --> 01:41:29.399
to show you something which will astound you beyond words.160701:41:30.359 --> 01:41:32.920
I must ask you to remain perfectly still throughout this demonstration.160801:41:33.720 --> 01:41:35.640
As the picture I'm about to show you progresses, I160901:41:35.680 --> 01:41:38.720
will explain in detail just what I have done, first161001:41:38.720 --> 01:41:43.680
of all, to start the machine. Now observe this picture161101:41:43.720 --> 01:41:46.800
I have taken on color film a picture of the161201:41:46.920 --> 01:41:51.159
new moon. Now you will notice that the camera has161301:41:51.199 --> 01:41:54.439
picked up a single ray of the moon. It's focused161401:41:54.479 --> 01:42:00.520
upon the wall whereon dances a single tiny moonbeam. The161501:42:00.600 --> 01:42:10.399
camera approaches the moonbeam closer, closer, still closer, and then161601:42:10.560 --> 01:42:13.840
the special film in my camera reaches the lens. The161701:42:13.960 --> 01:42:19.640
scene changes, Doctor Smith, a gentleman, gentleman, please, are.161801:42:19.560 --> 01:42:25.920
You see here my other world? My world within a moonbeam, taken.161901:42:25.720 --> 01:42:29.319
Upon special color film of my own invention, film that162001:42:29.439 --> 01:42:32.560
is constructed to pick up objects within the very atoms,162101:42:33.359 --> 01:42:37.600
objects smaller, that is, than atom themselves. And notice, please,162201:42:37.680 --> 01:42:41.039
the coloring of this outer world within a moonbeam. See162301:42:41.079 --> 01:42:45.399
the hills, the plains with a red grass, their red162401:42:45.479 --> 01:42:50.880
leaved trees. Notice that tiny stream at the left a162501:42:51.079 --> 01:42:52.000
vivid orange.162601:42:53.800 --> 01:42:57.000
Notice the yellow of the tree trunks, the orange colored sky,162701:42:57.159 --> 01:43:00.479
and the deep blue sun creasing the film quickly.162801:43:00.520 --> 01:43:02.800
Now, but first, a rare sight is in store foril.162901:43:03.359 --> 01:43:09.359
How much closely there a man? But what sort of163001:43:09.640 --> 01:43:13.279
creature is that? He's writing? I don't know. You will163101:43:13.359 --> 01:43:17.000
notice the animal approaches the small stream, wades quickly through it,163201:43:17.880 --> 01:43:21.640
and vanishes from the camera's sight. As he vanishes into163301:43:21.680 --> 01:43:29.119
the distance, the film ends amazing, stounding, unbelievable. Are the163401:43:29.199 --> 01:43:32.159
lights of your please? Doctor? Oh? Yes, of course, look here, titoo.163501:43:33.039 --> 01:43:37.479
Is this a camera trick? Absolutely not. I have shown163601:43:37.520 --> 01:43:41.520
you what actually exists within certain or possibly all moonbeams.163701:43:41.680 --> 01:43:45.359
What you are theory a that all creation consists of163801:43:45.520 --> 01:43:49.279
worlds within worlds. Who can say that our world is163901:43:49.359 --> 01:43:53.159
not contained within some still larger one, and that within another,164001:43:53.600 --> 01:43:56.319
and that still within another, and so on, though suddenly164101:43:56.439 --> 01:44:01.880
becomes overwhelmed me. Yes, doesn't it to think that all164201:44:02.039 --> 01:44:06.640
around us, within even such tiny substances as the atoms164301:44:06.680 --> 01:44:14.239
themselves under our feet overhead on all sides, are worlds164401:44:14.319 --> 01:44:17.159
of which we are unaware? Yes, if only there were164501:44:17.279 --> 01:44:20.920
some way to visit those other worlds. Ah, doctor West,164601:44:21.960 --> 01:44:26.640
that is the point we can good heavens man, you164701:44:26.760 --> 01:44:32.520
mean he's just what do you mean, gentlemen? I plan164801:44:32.680 --> 01:44:35.760
to enter that world in the morning. Impossible.164901:44:35.960 --> 01:44:38.800
I don't like to say so, Charles, But aren't you165001:44:38.920 --> 01:44:44.079
overlooking the laws of dimension, the general medium laws of nature?165101:44:44.159 --> 01:44:46.359
There is obvious that, turhume.165201:44:46.479 --> 01:44:50.600
But aren't you appearing a little ridiculous on the face165301:44:50.640 --> 01:44:53.119
of things. I do not expect you to be convinced165401:44:53.199 --> 01:44:54.359
until you have seen we.165501:44:54.479 --> 01:44:57.279
In our opervation, are not inclined to take such things165601:44:57.399 --> 01:44:59.319
as we are speaking of for granted.165701:44:59.399 --> 01:45:02.760
And let's not waste words, my friends, I propose to165801:45:02.880 --> 01:45:07.079
convince you beyond all possible doubt. Well, I have no165901:45:07.239 --> 01:45:11.119
objection to being convinced, nor right, No, I really believe166001:45:11.199 --> 01:45:12.880
to heal is lady's imagination.166101:45:13.359 --> 01:45:14.680
Winding up ahead, we.166201:45:14.680 --> 01:45:18.359
Shall see, I hear, gentlemen, on this table, you see166301:45:18.399 --> 01:45:22.000
what looks like an Eskimaux igloo made of crystal clear glass,166401:45:22.039 --> 01:45:24.560
with an opening at one side of the base, much166501:45:24.680 --> 01:45:26.159
like an entrance to an igloo or tent.166601:45:26.520 --> 01:45:30.840
Yes, it's about ten inches high and about eight inches166701:45:30.920 --> 01:45:31.560
in diameter.166801:45:32.119 --> 01:45:34.520
Now, when we extinguish the lights here in this room,166901:45:35.399 --> 01:45:37.479
when that curtain is drawn from the window over there,167001:45:38.359 --> 01:45:41.239
the moonbeam and question will be centered directly through that167101:45:41.319 --> 01:45:43.880
little glass case. You want us to assist you exactly?167201:45:44.000 --> 01:45:45.159
But what do you intend to do?167301:45:45.600 --> 01:45:47.960
I have here a number of small capsules filled with167401:45:48.000 --> 01:45:50.960
a potion whose base consists mostly of radium. What is167501:45:51.159 --> 01:45:55.439
this preparation? A substance which will cause animal matter to167601:45:55.560 --> 01:45:58.279
decrease itself many billions of times?167701:45:58.359 --> 01:46:02.039
In other words, you think it will make you become small, precisely,167801:46:02.159 --> 01:46:06.920
but small enough to enter the realm of a single atom?167901:46:07.760 --> 01:46:08.319
I hope so.168001:46:08.560 --> 01:46:08.720
Well?168101:46:09.439 --> 01:46:12.000
Have you tried this concoction only on animals?168201:46:12.399 --> 01:46:16.359
First, on rabbits and rats, And just yesterday I sent168301:46:16.439 --> 01:46:19.560
a dog into the world of atoms? But granting such168401:46:19.760 --> 01:46:22.640
a feat is possible. Don't you think your clothes would168501:46:22.680 --> 01:46:25.039
also shrink with you? But I have found that any168601:46:25.119 --> 01:46:27.840
object in contact with the animal matter at the time168701:46:27.920 --> 01:46:30.560
the capsule is consumed would be caused to shrink in168801:46:30.600 --> 01:46:33.640
proportion with the animal matter itself. I found that out168901:46:33.720 --> 01:46:36.039
yesterday when I failed to remove the dog's color. Well,169001:46:36.119 --> 01:46:38.880
suppose you consume too great a quantity of the potion.169101:46:39.119 --> 01:46:42.359
I have an equalizer, another mixture which will counteract the169201:46:42.399 --> 01:46:45.760
first capsule. By taking particular amounts of it, I can169301:46:45.800 --> 01:46:48.640
stop the reaction of the capsule, And then, having stopped it,169401:46:48.760 --> 01:46:52.319
by taking another dose of the stabilizer or equalizer. I169501:46:52.399 --> 01:46:57.000
can increase my size again. This is all very extraordinary.169601:46:57.640 --> 01:47:01.079
I tind to be gone quite some time. I'm asking169701:47:01.159 --> 01:47:03.239
you too to watch over this little glass case for169801:47:03.319 --> 01:47:04.920
a four day period. You can count on me.169901:47:05.479 --> 01:47:05.680
On me.170001:47:07.560 --> 01:47:11.079
Now, I shall take a capsule. I'll begin to grow170101:47:11.159 --> 01:47:15.520
almost immediately. I've reached about two feet in height. I170201:47:15.640 --> 01:47:18.000
want you, doctor Smith, to bend down to the floor170301:47:18.680 --> 01:47:21.600
and pick me up and place me on this table170401:47:21.680 --> 01:47:25.479
here inside this little glass case, putting me directly in170501:47:25.560 --> 01:47:27.560
front of the opening or door of the case. Is170601:47:27.600 --> 01:47:33.319
that clear? Client? Yeah? Good, gentlemen, my hand, good luck?170701:47:33.359 --> 01:47:35.560
Tell me Smith will follow.170801:47:35.600 --> 01:47:37.000
You are struggling the camp.170901:47:38.319 --> 01:47:43.560
Good. I knew I could count on YouTube. Now the capsule.171001:47:51.079 --> 01:48:01.239
My head is worrying, my ears a ring. I growing dim.171101:48:04.199 --> 01:48:06.880
I have a sensation of emptiness in the pit of171201:48:06.960 --> 01:48:12.239
my stomach. You notice, and it changed my appearance. Good hands,171301:48:13.560 --> 01:48:16.000
he's lost a foot in height.171401:48:16.079 --> 01:48:19.720
While you're growing smaller to you, you are man, You're171501:48:19.760 --> 01:48:21.119
actually growing smaller.171601:48:21.279 --> 01:48:26.039
He's two feet small. Allow. I hope I regained my171701:48:26.159 --> 01:48:31.479
eyesight before I become too small. Are my close diminishing too? Yes? Yes, quick,171801:48:33.159 --> 01:48:39.600
I cannot describe my sensations. I feel a strange weakness.171901:48:41.359 --> 01:48:46.000
My senses seem to be deserting me. I find it172001:48:46.760 --> 01:48:48.279
rather difficult to talk.172101:48:48.520 --> 01:48:52.239
Look, he's just about two feet high now too, As.172201:48:52.159 --> 01:48:54.840
He told you, doctor, pick him up, now place him172301:48:54.880 --> 01:49:00.479
on the table. Yes, you're so careful. Now there, Yes,172401:49:01.159 --> 01:49:03.079
putting closer to that door, so you'll have no trouble172501:49:03.119 --> 01:49:06.159
finding it. What your arm, doctor, don't cut off the172601:49:06.319 --> 01:49:09.359
moonbeam there, that's good.172701:49:09.720 --> 01:49:12.119
Say he's only about six inches high. Now there he172801:49:12.199 --> 01:49:19.520
goes into the glass case. See the moonbeam is completely172901:49:19.680 --> 01:49:20.279
covering in me.173001:49:21.399 --> 01:49:23.800
He's so tiny now you can hardly see him, the173101:49:23.880 --> 01:49:26.399
size of a small ant.173201:49:26.720 --> 01:49:30.439
He's faded into the light of the beam. Now, I173301:49:30.600 --> 01:49:32.720
wonder what you'll discover in there.173401:49:33.520 --> 01:49:47.800
I wonder what you'll discover at last. I'm here in173501:49:47.920 --> 01:49:54.199
another world, such a strange place, similar to the place173601:49:54.279 --> 01:50:00.560
I came from. Yet different trees, yet with leaves brilliant173701:50:00.640 --> 01:50:08.279
scarlet and yellow bark, the grass also scarlet. Orange colored173801:50:08.359 --> 01:50:14.800
sky overhead, the sun of dazzling blue, and the water173901:50:14.880 --> 01:50:20.199
in the little stream over there not blue but orange. Yes,174001:50:21.279 --> 01:50:27.079
the colors all different, everything else correspondingly the same.174101:50:27.399 --> 01:50:29.039
Why do you speak so strangely.174201:50:29.239 --> 01:50:32.560
Oh, I beg your pardon. I thought I was alone.174301:50:33.000 --> 01:50:36.119
You must be a foreigner, otherwise you'd know you're in174401:50:36.199 --> 01:50:38.520
the King's gardens, and they are quite private.174501:50:39.159 --> 01:50:42.600
I'm so sorry. Yes, I am a foreigner. If you'll174601:50:42.640 --> 01:50:44.039
forgive me, i'll leave it once I know.174701:50:44.520 --> 01:50:47.920
Please, it is our custom to treat foreigners in a174801:50:48.000 --> 01:50:51.000
friendly manner, and so I bid you welcome.174901:50:52.279 --> 01:50:53.359
I am the Princess.175001:50:53.159 --> 01:51:01.960
Elena, Princess, yes, daughter of Kinglandelier. Sure you heard of me, No.175101:51:02.119 --> 01:51:05.960
Princess, I have not, But surely my father rules the175201:51:06.039 --> 01:51:10.199
world with kindness and justice, and everyone knows him for175301:51:10.319 --> 01:51:10.920
his goodness.175401:51:11.439 --> 01:51:15.600
Princess, will it frighten you if I tell you something175501:51:17.159 --> 01:51:18.520
something most strange?175601:51:18.960 --> 01:51:23.079
I think not, sir by you yourself are most strange.175701:51:24.159 --> 01:51:29.600
Your clothing, the colors not in the least ordinary, and175801:51:29.800 --> 01:51:31.359
your features are so different.175901:51:32.039 --> 01:51:36.800
Princess Elena, my name is Charles de Hume. I'm a176001:51:36.880 --> 01:51:40.640
citizen of the United States of America America.176101:51:42.119 --> 01:51:45.039
I know the world quite well, but never have I176201:51:45.159 --> 01:51:46.119
heard of America.176301:51:46.840 --> 01:51:49.119
That is why I feel I might frighten you, your highness.176401:51:50.399 --> 01:51:57.199
You see, America is not in this world. It is176501:51:57.920 --> 01:52:03.000
in another. You're from another world exactly, you see, I176601:52:03.119 --> 01:52:06.560
am a scientist in my own universe. I discovered your176701:52:06.680 --> 01:52:09.439
world here, so I found a way to come to176801:52:09.520 --> 01:52:14.039
visit you. You don't seemed all surprised.176901:52:14.399 --> 01:52:18.520
No, why should I be surprised. We've expected you for177001:52:18.600 --> 01:52:19.239
a long time.177101:52:20.039 --> 01:52:24.439
Me. Well, not you exactly, but someone.177201:52:24.960 --> 01:52:26.479
But what do you mean?177301:52:27.239 --> 01:52:30.319
Our scientists have known for many years that other worlds177401:52:30.439 --> 01:52:34.520
besides ours exists, but they've never been able to discover177501:52:34.640 --> 01:52:37.880
a method of entering one of them. We've been hoping177601:52:38.039 --> 01:52:40.199
someone from beyond would find.177701:52:40.000 --> 01:52:40.560
A way here.177801:52:41.479 --> 01:52:42.079
Amazing.177901:52:42.840 --> 01:52:44.920
That is why I asked if you were a foreigner.178001:52:46.079 --> 01:52:50.319
Since my father rules the entire world, naturally a foreigner178101:52:50.399 --> 01:52:52.319
could only be from another world.178201:52:52.560 --> 01:52:56.560
This absolutely as times me, Princess. I must speak to178301:52:56.600 --> 01:52:59.359
your scientists, And this is so wonderful that people of178401:52:59.439 --> 01:53:02.279
our worlds be much alike, save in a few minor respects.178501:53:02.359 --> 01:53:03.800
We look alike, talk alike.178601:53:03.960 --> 01:53:06.159
We've often wondered how much we would be like the178701:53:06.239 --> 01:53:07.159
people from beyond.178801:53:07.279 --> 01:53:09.600
Take me to your scientist, Princess, I must see them.178901:53:09.840 --> 01:53:13.880
I'll gladly take you to them, but first I must179001:53:13.960 --> 01:53:17.000
warn you you are in great danger.179101:53:17.680 --> 01:53:20.159
Danger our world is doomed.179201:53:21.439 --> 01:53:24.960
We are falling victims to a strange malady which none179301:53:25.000 --> 01:53:28.560
of our doctors or learned men can overcome. It is179401:53:28.640 --> 01:53:32.920
slaying our people, but the thousands A plague, Yes, a179501:53:33.039 --> 01:53:37.159
mysterious disease, one we've never encountered before in all history.179601:53:38.119 --> 01:53:41.479
You would save yourself, use whatever method you have, and179701:53:42.159 --> 01:53:44.720
return to your own world before it's too late.179801:53:44.920 --> 01:53:48.319
One woman, princess, will you take me to your father?179901:53:48.840 --> 01:53:51.039
I I don't know why I say this, but perhaps180001:53:51.119 --> 01:53:53.920
I can help. Oh no, no, save yourself.180101:53:54.720 --> 01:53:57.560
I beg of you. Do not remain here to pass.180201:53:57.760 --> 01:54:01.079
Please, Princess, at least allow me to try to help you.180301:54:01.199 --> 01:54:03.159
Lead a very brave or very fool.180401:54:03.039 --> 01:54:05.159
Glaborn foolish take me to your father.180501:54:05.680 --> 01:54:09.000
Very well that he will only warn you as I180601:54:09.119 --> 01:54:09.600
have done.180701:54:22.640 --> 01:54:25.199
That, Your Majesty, is how I found your world and180801:54:25.239 --> 01:54:28.680
the way to matter it. It's interesting. At one time180901:54:28.760 --> 01:54:32.239
I would have said amazing, But with our discoveries where181001:54:32.279 --> 01:54:35.359
the world's around us, it's now only interesting.181101:54:35.520 --> 01:54:37.760
I've warned doctor to Human to return to his own181201:54:37.880 --> 01:54:39.880
universe before he falls victim to the plague.181301:54:40.000 --> 01:54:42.600
Yes, miss, but I would like to help. I'm a181401:54:42.680 --> 01:54:45.119
doctor where I came from. Perhaps I could do something.181501:54:45.640 --> 01:54:49.920
I'm very useless. Our most brilliant physicians are powers to181601:54:50.000 --> 01:54:53.520
even make a diagnosis, much less a cure. But I181701:54:53.720 --> 01:54:56.239
have a knowledge from another world, your majesty.181801:54:55.920 --> 01:54:58.920
That's true, Father, he found a way of reaching us.181901:55:00.039 --> 01:55:01.760
You have been unable to reach the other places.182001:55:02.680 --> 01:55:06.840
Yes, yes, daughter, your reason wisely, Please, your majesty, permit182101:55:06.920 --> 01:55:09.600
me to see some of the victims. I can't return182201:55:09.640 --> 01:55:11.720
home until I've at least made an attempt to help you,182301:55:12.359 --> 01:55:17.119
very well as you wish. Come with me. My son182401:55:17.319 --> 01:55:20.319
lies dying in a room above. I will permit you182501:55:20.399 --> 01:55:36.039
to examine him. Well, don't you tell you, your majesty,182601:55:37.000 --> 01:55:40.399
heavens man, this is typhoid. Typhoid, we have it on182701:55:40.520 --> 01:55:43.640
our earth. Tell us do you know the cure? Yes,182801:55:43.720 --> 01:55:46.439
your majesty, I do. Take me to your nearest medical laboratory.182901:55:46.560 --> 01:55:49.119
We must prepare a serum, huge quantities of it. We183001:55:49.239 --> 01:55:51.159
must send it to all parts of the world immediately.183101:55:51.319 --> 01:56:05.880
With a savior people, daughter, these reports more parts of183201:56:05.960 --> 01:56:06.479
the universe.183301:56:07.159 --> 01:56:09.479
The death grow fewer and fewer each day.183401:56:09.560 --> 01:56:13.279
It's a miracle, Father, and Charles has unit saved us all.183501:56:18.600 --> 01:56:21.800
There's been no typhoid death. Now for three days, I know.183601:56:23.680 --> 01:56:24.600
A fight has been one.183701:56:25.079 --> 01:56:28.600
The people are clamoring for your doctor. Humans. They almost183801:56:28.680 --> 01:56:29.560
consider you a god.183901:56:30.680 --> 01:56:34.319
I am no god, Princess, merely a man with a184001:56:34.399 --> 01:56:35.119
little knowledge.184101:56:35.439 --> 01:56:38.000
But you came to us like a miracle man in184201:56:38.119 --> 01:56:40.439
time to work the greatest wonder of all history.184301:56:40.960 --> 01:56:43.399
I'm happy that my journey here has been for a purpose.184401:56:44.000 --> 01:56:46.600
Anything you ever wish in the world will be yours.184501:56:47.279 --> 01:56:53.159
I know, Elena, there is so little I want, yet184601:56:53.960 --> 01:56:54.439
so much.184701:56:55.319 --> 01:56:57.720
Will you remain here with us forever?184801:56:59.319 --> 01:56:59.760
I cannot.184901:57:00.720 --> 01:57:02.279
You called me Elena a moment ago.185001:57:03.119 --> 01:57:06.159
I cannot, Elena. I must return to tell my people185101:57:06.199 --> 01:57:09.800
what I discovered. But if you go now, yes, Elena.185201:57:10.199 --> 01:57:11.039
Oh I must.185301:57:11.079 --> 01:57:12.880
We always be governed by rules.185401:57:12.640 --> 01:57:17.399
Of propriety, Elena. If if you're thinking what I hope185501:57:17.439 --> 01:57:22.399
you are, child, Helena, my darling, Is it wrong to185601:57:22.439 --> 01:57:24.039
say I love you? Child?185701:57:25.079 --> 01:57:28.520
Is it wrong for stars to shine or for flowers185801:57:28.560 --> 01:57:29.039
to bloom?185901:57:29.720 --> 01:57:35.239
Oh, my darling, Princess, I love you, Elena, and I186001:57:35.359 --> 01:57:35.640
love you.186101:57:37.159 --> 01:57:39.960
Please don't believe me, my darling.186201:57:41.159 --> 01:57:44.399
Just for a little while, I will return to Elena,186301:57:45.560 --> 01:57:46.479
I promise.186401:57:46.680 --> 01:57:50.359
And I will wait for you, beloved, and when you return,186501:57:51.439 --> 01:57:54.159
nothing in this world or any other will ever take186601:57:54.279 --> 01:57:54.760
us apart.186701:58:07.680 --> 01:58:12.000
It's passed his time almost four days. Look the moment186801:58:12.079 --> 01:58:16.600
there in the moon means see no, I yes, look186901:58:17.359 --> 01:58:20.800
he is coming back. See there he's out of the187001:58:20.840 --> 01:58:24.079
glass case on the tabletop. He's growing rapidly wet. You187101:58:24.199 --> 01:58:27.560
better place him down on the floor. Look merger and larger.187201:58:27.720 --> 01:58:29.199
This is perfectly astounding.187301:58:29.319 --> 01:58:29.520
Man.187401:58:30.239 --> 01:58:34.640
I wonder what his adventure has been, Doctor Turhune, can187501:58:34.720 --> 01:58:37.399
you hear me? Doctor Turyune is almost four feet tall?187601:58:37.520 --> 01:58:38.880
Now, can you hear me?187701:58:39.159 --> 01:58:42.079
Dtor water water please?187801:58:42.159 --> 01:58:42.399
Water?187901:58:42.520 --> 01:58:45.159
Weikly wrist quickly over there in that corplet.188001:58:45.279 --> 01:58:46.039
Yes, just one moment.188101:58:48.680 --> 01:58:49.119
Here we are.188201:58:49.359 --> 01:58:53.560
He's all right now full size again here tur Yun188301:58:54.199 --> 01:58:54.560
drink this?188401:58:55.359 --> 01:59:02.479
Yes, thanks, that's better. Are you all right? Tell you188501:59:02.760 --> 01:59:07.199
it's quite all I think you, gentlemen. I have had188601:59:07.239 --> 01:59:11.199
the strangest experience imaginable. I have visited a.188701:59:11.279 --> 01:59:14.640
World that's amazing and wonderful.188801:59:14.720 --> 01:59:17.920
Tell us about it as I will. When I became188901:59:18.000 --> 01:59:21.119
small enough to enter the moonbeam, I found myself in189001:59:21.199 --> 01:59:23.279
the exact spot you two saw in the picture I189101:59:23.359 --> 01:59:25.800
displayed for you. I did not know which way to189201:59:25.840 --> 01:59:35.520
go naturally after a moment I heard someone, my friends,189301:59:35.640 --> 01:59:37.760
is precisely what happened to me. And you say, those189401:59:37.880 --> 01:59:41.479
people knew all about the existence of other worlds, but189501:59:42.000 --> 01:59:45.760
were not familiar with such a disease as typhoid exactly.189601:59:45.720 --> 01:59:48.840
Must have been somewhat of a hero, do you, Yes, somewhat.189701:59:49.000 --> 01:59:51.279
You know, if I hadn't seen this demonstration with my189801:59:51.359 --> 01:59:53.039
own eyes, I never have believed it.189901:59:53.520 --> 01:59:56.399
Well, Doctor West, even though I was the one who190001:59:56.520 --> 02:00:00.359
experienced it, I'm still wondering if it actually happened. Appened190102:00:00.399 --> 02:00:00.840
all right?190202:00:01.159 --> 02:00:03.880
Yes, we saw you grow small right before her eyes,190302:00:04.640 --> 02:00:09.039
so small you became almost invisible and disappeared in the moonbean.190402:00:09.439 --> 02:00:11.520
I trust you, too, will confer many statements I like190502:00:11.600 --> 02:00:14.439
make to the public about this. No, absolutely certainly tell you.190602:00:14.680 --> 02:00:18.399
By the way, it's my sister here during my absence. Why, yes,190702:00:18.560 --> 02:00:23.079
she was. She acted very strangely too, but we told190802:00:23.079 --> 02:00:26.800
her nothing. Oh, gentlemen, perhaps I should have told you190902:00:26.880 --> 02:00:30.399
this before. You see, my sister and I jointly own191002:00:30.479 --> 02:00:32.920
several hundred acres of valuable oil land in the South.191102:00:33.720 --> 02:00:37.039
She's a greedy woman. She's tried for years to obtain191202:00:37.119 --> 02:00:40.279
full possession of the property. She's tried many ways, but191302:00:41.159 --> 02:00:44.600
her latest method is by charging that I'm insane. Oh191402:00:44.800 --> 02:00:49.600
less ridiculous, Yes, exactly, but she has preferred the charges. Tomorrow,191502:00:49.680 --> 02:00:53.960
at nine, I must appear before a group of alienists191602:00:54.640 --> 02:00:59.479
who will decide whether or not I'm mentally unbalanced. That191702:00:59.800 --> 02:01:03.000
is why I had to make my experiment before tomorrow.191802:01:19.199 --> 02:01:23.560
Doctor Turtune, You've been carefully examined by this impartial and191902:01:23.800 --> 02:01:29.039
experienced board of alienists at the request of your sister. Yeah,192002:01:29.279 --> 02:01:32.039
it's our decision that you must submit yourself to a192102:01:32.159 --> 02:01:36.359
series of treatments at whatever sanitarium your sister might choose.192202:01:36.479 --> 02:01:40.239
Oh no, stop, this has all been so irregular, so unfair.192302:01:41.039 --> 02:01:41.800
You'll think I'm mad.192402:01:42.720 --> 02:01:43.680
I was told. I have told you.192502:01:43.720 --> 02:01:45.479
It's true. I can prove everything I've said.192602:01:45.600 --> 02:01:46.720
Please, doctor Turtue.192702:01:46.800 --> 02:01:49.479
My two friends, doctor West and doctor Smith. Ask them,192802:01:49.960 --> 02:01:52.319
why haven't you let them testify for me? They saw it.192902:01:52.800 --> 02:01:54.079
They'll tell you everything I've.193002:01:53.920 --> 02:01:54.560
Said is true.193102:01:56.439 --> 02:02:04.840
One moment, yes, oh, yes, he's here with me now193202:02:07.880 --> 02:02:08.560
I see.193302:02:10.279 --> 02:02:17.800
Hmm, yes, all right, out on him. I'm sorry, doctor Turru,193402:02:17.880 --> 02:02:22.159
and I'm afraid I have bad news for you. Doctors193502:02:22.199 --> 02:02:24.720
West and Smith were to have testified in your behalf.193602:02:26.439 --> 02:02:28.840
But I've just received where that they were both killed193702:02:28.840 --> 02:02:43.399
a few moments ago in an automobile accident, and that193802:02:43.640 --> 02:02:44.239
was the verdict.193902:02:46.920 --> 02:02:51.760
Now men call me man, So they've blocked me. Shouldn't194002:02:51.840 --> 02:02:55.560
sell till the time they can remove me to a194102:02:55.600 --> 02:03:00.279
sanitarium any moment. Now they have come for me. Kah194202:03:01.199 --> 02:03:06.520
whisked me off through the night. My discovery will never194302:03:06.640 --> 02:03:13.640
be proved. People will laugh for a while, speak of194402:03:13.720 --> 02:03:20.000
the mad doctor to you, and then I will forget.194502:03:22.359 --> 02:03:22.800
And for me.194602:03:24.840 --> 02:03:29.760
No escape, howld my line?194702:03:33.079 --> 02:03:39.119
No escape, No escape? Oh what a stupid fool. I194802:03:39.239 --> 02:04:11.000
am the Moonbeam, of course, the Moonbeam Fantasy.194902:04:18.439 --> 02:04:21.960
Men call Me Mad, an original tale of dark Fantasy195002:04:22.039 --> 02:04:25.520
by Scott Bishop. Ben Morris was heard as Doctor charles195102:04:25.600 --> 02:04:30.439
terhun eleanor Naylor Corn was Princess Elena. Red Waine was195202:04:30.560 --> 02:04:35.199
King Londelaire Burrello Schofield was Doctor West, your height was195302:04:35.239 --> 02:04:38.439
doctor Smith, and Daryl McAllister was the specialist.195402:04:42.479 --> 02:04:46.720
Well, my dear, I suppose we've had another fine evening.195502:04:47.680 --> 02:04:52.840
I do so appreciate your company, and I do hope195602:04:52.880 --> 02:04:57.920
you'll be back again again very soon. I'll be here195702:04:58.800 --> 02:05:04.039
you know, when you know where. Don't worry. I'm going195802:05:04.199 --> 02:05:09.000
nowhere and fast. But now it's time, as the sun195902:05:09.159 --> 02:05:12.399
prepares to rise, for you to go home and place196002:05:12.479 --> 02:05:16.239
your head on that soft, delicate pillow, rest that soft196102:05:16.560 --> 02:05:21.680
and delicate neck, and drift off into the land of Nod.196202:05:23.439 --> 02:05:25.399
But as you make your way home, as you go196302:05:25.600 --> 02:05:30.199
through the woods, over the river, past grandmother's house, well196402:05:31.159 --> 02:05:33.840
all I ask before you lay that head down and196502:05:34.760 --> 02:05:38.159
send yourself to the land of Nod, is one thing196602:05:39.079 --> 02:05:44.520
aside from it coming back soon. As your eyes get heavy,196702:05:45.680 --> 02:05:49.760
take a moment and be thankful for what you have,196802:05:51.159 --> 02:05:54.199
and I'll be waiting when you need me.196902:06:00.439 --> 02:06:02.720
You being a break it for.197002:06:04.920 --> 02:06:04.960
You.197102:06:05.479 --> 02:06:05.520
