Unknown Broadcast | "Death Pays the Freight"

Unknown Broadcast | "Death Pays the Freight"

The radio show dives into a captivating narrative set against a backdrop of darkness and desperation, led by a haunting host who welcomes listeners into a world rich with suspense and intrigue. The central tale begins with Joe Harris, a young man trapped in the monotony of his life in Kansas City. Dressed in a cheap suit and determined to escape the biting cold of winter, Joe opts for an unconventional means of travel—hitching a ride in a freight car to California, where he believes life may hold more promise.

However, once aboard the train, Joe discovers that he is not alone. In the dim confines of the boxcar, he encounters a man who eerily resembles him, initiating a tense and fateful confrontation. As the two men grapple in a struggle for survival, Joe is forced to kill his double in self-defense, sparking a panic that leads him to alter his identity by switching draft cards with the deceased. The realization that he has committed murder sets the tone for Joe’s spiraling descent into a world of crime and deceit as he grapples with the weight of his actions.

After escaping the scene, Joe finds himself stepping off the train in a small town called Wisey, Oklahoma—a place he learns is tied to his victim. As Joe navigates his way through this unfamiliar territory, he soon crosses paths with Bliss, a character who holds information about Joe's past and has a sinister proposition: to eliminate an old uncle in exchange for money. Joe, now trapped in a cycle of fear and deception, reluctantly agrees to Bliss's plan, unwilling to reveal his true identity for fear of being caught for his previous crime.

The tension escalates as Joe grapples with moral dilemmas in his newfound precarious situation. Under pressure, he is drawn into a deadly plot involving the uncle, Old Man Carew. As he prepares to commit murder for Bliss, Joe’s internal conflict reaches its peak, culminating in a shocking act of violence. However, Joe's actions lead him into further entrapment, as he unwittingly becomes embroiled in a scheme designed to frame him for the very crimes he hoped to escape.

The narrative unfolds with gripping suspense as Joe navigates the consequences of his decisions, ultimately culminating in a chilling realization that he cannot outrun his past. As the police begin their investigation into the unfolding events, Joe's story takes a tragic turn, leading to a fateful encounter with the dead body of Martin Pell—the very aspect of his own self he had sought to leave behind.

The show underscores themes of identity, moral ambiguity, and the inescapable nature of one's actions through Joe's harrowing experience. The closing remarks by the host echo the somber fate of Joe Harris, leaving listeners with a haunting reminder of the shadows that linger when one tries to evade their true self. Ultimately, the show captures the essence of classic horror storytelling, weaving a tale that lingers long after the final line is delivered, leaving the audience to ponder the chilling connections that bind them to the characters’ dark destinies.

1
00:00:09.199 --> 00:00:12.599
Well, hello, my dear Ida, good to see you again.

2
00:00:13.640 --> 00:00:18.280
Happy you twiddled through your radio dial until you found me,

3
00:00:18.359 --> 00:00:23.559
yet again, always happy to share a little fun and

4
00:00:23.719 --> 00:00:26.719
fear with you. What's that? What's that?

5
00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:26.960
Oh?

6
00:00:27.079 --> 00:00:29.679
No, no, no, no, no, you don't need to worry about them. No, no, no.

7
00:00:29.679 --> 00:00:32.200
They couldn't get in here. Even if they could, what

8
00:00:32.200 --> 00:00:34.679
would they do? Would they do? And frankly, I don't

9
00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:39.719
think they know they know you're here. And but tonight

10
00:00:40.240 --> 00:00:46.000
I've been thinking a lot about getting what you pay for.

11
00:00:47.799 --> 00:00:49.759
It means a lot of different things and a lot

12
00:00:49.759 --> 00:00:55.119
of different contexts. But tonight you know what's most important,

13
00:00:55.159 --> 00:00:59.439
and is that death. Death pays the freight free. And

14
00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:06.120
I find that to be the very accurate. So get comfortable,

15
00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:10.480
my dear, it's cold, have some teeth, and let's enjoy

16
00:01:10.599 --> 00:01:12.560
the sports together together.

17
00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:30.319
Good evening, friends of the Creaking Door. This is your

18
00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:34.599
host to welcome you once again into Vines, Sanctor, Come

19
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:37.400
on in. I never mind looking back over your shoulder.

20
00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:40.760
Whatever it is that's behind you can't be half as

21
00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:45.599
bad as what's in the front. As the man whose

22
00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:47.840
throat had just been made the scene of an experiment

23
00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:52.200
with a razor while he slept, said, I'm going from

24
00:01:52.280 --> 00:02:10.360
bed to hers. All right, settle down now it's coming

25
00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:12.960
and there's nothing you can.

26
00:02:12.759 --> 00:02:13.560
Do about it.

27
00:02:14.680 --> 00:02:17.719
Just keep a good hold on yourself and your wife.

28
00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:25.039
If your life insured, it's paid out. Joe Harris, twenty one,

29
00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:28.919
wearing a cheap blue serge suit and a thin top coat,

30
00:02:29.759 --> 00:02:34.479
cold and wet and a cold and rainy night, decides

31
00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:39.520
to make a change.

32
00:02:40.599 --> 00:02:43.280
Kansas City's okay, but there's nothing there for me.

33
00:02:44.039 --> 00:02:44.840
I've got to get out.

34
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:49.639
My wardrobe ain't built for a hard winter, so I

35
00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:53.319
figured it could be more comfortable on the coast of California.

36
00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:57.199
But I ain't playing for rail transportation this year, so

37
00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:02.639
I head for the KC Freight Guards and I picked

38
00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:05.319
me out a nice long freight job that happened to

39
00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:09.680
have an empty car and pull a slide in the

40
00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:14.439
door over lead him just to crack for air and

41
00:03:14.639 --> 00:03:17.159
finger hole for when we reached the Land of Oranges,

42
00:03:18.039 --> 00:03:22.919
the old boiler up fronts got the steam on him

43
00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:33.560
and we're off. I relax. All I gotta do is

44
00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:40.719
let a couple of days slide by it. Sunshine. Hey,

45
00:03:41.439 --> 00:03:45.879
what I didn't notice nobody else was in the car

46
00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:51.919
didn't you know, Pally. No, that's too bad. He leaned

47
00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:54.240
back into the darkness of his corner, so I couldn't

48
00:03:54.240 --> 00:03:57.199
see him very good. He was a young guy, maybe

49
00:03:57.280 --> 00:04:00.960
my age, maybe a couple of years older too, same

50
00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:04.560
color hair and eyes, almost close enough to be brothers.

51
00:04:04.639 --> 00:04:09.319
But there was something in his eyes that had never

52
00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:15.319
been in mind. I was scared. You know something funny?

53
00:04:16.120 --> 00:04:17.040
You look like me?

54
00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:22.720
Yeah, I kind of noticed that myself, and that why, Well,

55
00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:29.120
lots of guys look a little like each other. I mean, huh, nobody.

56
00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:29.240
Looks like me.

57
00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:34.759
Well, okay, so I don't you're trying to. That means

58
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:38.399
you must be one of one of what they have

59
00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:40.160
ways of changing their appearance.

60
00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:41.720
You're one of them.

61
00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:43.639
You can't fool me. Look, I don't know what you're

62
00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:46.639
talking about. No use, you can't fool me. You know

63
00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:49.639
you have to punish you. Watch out what that night

64
00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:52.079
when I got the resemblance away and I know what

65
00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:53.800
you really look like? Crazy?

66
00:04:54.920 --> 00:04:55.800
Go on my hand.

67
00:04:55.879 --> 00:05:00.079
I'm gonna got you away. No I can't, Mom, I

68
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:03.720
listed when the night was pointing that you're hot. No

69
00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:08.879
drop nobody, just run out and stomp it. If you

70
00:05:09.079 --> 00:05:10.040
stomp at all.

71
00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:18.000
Said, I gonna do this all I told you, I told.

72
00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:19.560
You, I.

73
00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:28.600
Told you dead.

74
00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:35.879
Hey, no, she's dead. I gotta get out the door.

75
00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:41.480
Slide it open, odd boasting, Yeah, no one of these

76
00:05:41.519 --> 00:05:45.480
sliding does. Why don't they snap a propa, give me ahead?

77
00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:53.560
Shot it? Okay, you locked it? No, I can't get out.

78
00:05:54.800 --> 00:06:11.680
I can't get out. So there I was locked in

79
00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:16.879
with him in the dock. He was dead, so I

80
00:06:16.920 --> 00:06:23.079
wasn't afraid of him at first. I even gave him

81
00:06:23.079 --> 00:06:27.439
a going over. His eyes were open, but I flopped

82
00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:32.000
him over and I went through his pockets, just a

83
00:06:32.040 --> 00:06:38.000
couple of bucks and some small change and his draft card. Funny,

84
00:06:38.519 --> 00:06:41.680
he was for f just like me. His name was

85
00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:46.879
Martin Pell. That's a laugh too, finding out who a

86
00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:53.399
guy is after you kill him, kill him. Yeah, I

87
00:06:53.519 --> 00:06:57.800
was a murderer. I just realized that they'll hang me

88
00:06:57.839 --> 00:07:02.519
for that. No, No, it was self defense. But but

89
00:07:02.600 --> 00:07:04.759
what chance have I got to proven that? Me with

90
00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:14.240
a record too? But maybe I can lose that record. Maybe. Yeah.

91
00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:18.920
So I've switched draft cards with him, and now he's

92
00:07:19.079 --> 00:07:25.040
Joe Harris and I'm Martin Pelle. Martin Pell love that

93
00:07:25.240 --> 00:07:39.439
says on his card of wisey Oklahoma. And the hours

94
00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:42.560
go by and I'm there with him locked in a

95
00:07:42.600 --> 00:07:47.800
box card and the wheels keep pounding underneath, and he's dead.

96
00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:59.279
I gotta get out. There's gotta be a way for thought. Shut.

97
00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:06.800
I gotta think. I think, Hey, wait, we'll stop. Now,

98
00:08:06.879 --> 00:08:11.720
we'll stop. Yeah, he's coming up. Maybe they won't spint

99
00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:15.399
him anyways. I gotta get out. I'm yellow. I'll yell

100
00:08:15.439 --> 00:08:17.120
and I'll pound on the door. Yeah that's the way.

101
00:08:17.399 --> 00:08:17.680
That's the.

102
00:08:21.079 --> 00:08:22.800
Pull me on, holl me on.

103
00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:34.000
Nobody at me. Somebody be heard me? Was gone on

104
00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:42.200
catching a ride bomb? Get out of it here, yeah, sure, sure,

105
00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:45.919
but do not against the law. Ride in the freight Yeah, yeah,

106
00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:46.120
I know.

107
00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:47.840
Maybe it's a hunk, you remember.

108
00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:54.399
So I get out of here, get fast past as

109
00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:57.080
I could. I got away from there. The yard boat

110
00:08:57.120 --> 00:08:58.840
took a quick look into the car, but he didn't

111
00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:01.480
spot upout him out of the sack, and the train

112
00:09:01.559 --> 00:09:07.360
started up, and it began moving away, with Martin tell

113
00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:11.320
Land under a pile of dirty second with a knife

114
00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:14.919
in his heart and a funny look in his eyes.

115
00:09:17.080 --> 00:09:30.440
Oh ye, I'm Martin pell Now there was only a

116
00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:33.000
water and stop where the train stopped, So I walked

117
00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:36.440
across the prairie, not knowing where I was going and

118
00:09:36.519 --> 00:09:42.480
not caring much well. I keep walking across the dark

119
00:09:42.559 --> 00:09:45.039
face of the land until I spun a light, a

120
00:09:45.039 --> 00:09:48.000
couple of lights. It's a small town. It looked like

121
00:09:49.159 --> 00:09:56.240
a small town somewhere where. Right on the edge of town.

122
00:09:56.240 --> 00:09:58.279
There's a lunch wagon and it's open, and there's a

123
00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:02.039
light shining earth. And I'm hungry, so I go into

124
00:10:02.039 --> 00:10:09.759
the lunchway. Hi, how about some need? Huh? Sure thing?

125
00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:10.279
Martin?

126
00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:15.960
Sure thing? What What did you say? I said, sure,

127
00:10:15.960 --> 00:10:17.080
you're gonna have something to eat?

128
00:10:17.159 --> 00:10:17.440
Martin?

129
00:10:18.519 --> 00:10:24.159
What would be? Martin? What town is this? Why you

130
00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:24.600
ort to know?

131
00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:25.080
Martin?

132
00:10:25.919 --> 00:10:29.919
Missus? Why is Why is the Oklahoma? Why is he?

133
00:10:30.039 --> 00:10:34.039
But that's the same place. It can't be. That's no

134
00:10:34.120 --> 00:10:37.279
way to talk about your own hometown. Of course, you've

135
00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:40.600
been away quite a few years. You look good, now,

136
00:10:42.639 --> 00:10:46.440
wouldn't you say I've changed? Oh? No, Morten's not true.

137
00:10:47.240 --> 00:10:52.120
Of course you're only around sixteen when you left. Kind

138
00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:56.200
of an advanced sixteen though. Yeah, ain't many kids at

139
00:10:56.200 --> 00:10:59.320
that age would have stuck up the bank, knocked off

140
00:10:59.360 --> 00:11:04.759
the night watch. I kill him. Oh, don't get modest fella. Sure,

141
00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:09.919
old man Henshaw, Hey, hey, I was near forgetting you

142
00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:13.559
said you're hungry, not anymore? Oh, come on, have some need?

143
00:11:14.399 --> 00:11:16.600
Don't you believe in putting anything in your stomach before

144
00:11:16.679 --> 00:11:17.399
doing a job?

145
00:11:18.279 --> 00:11:20.919
Doing a job me, Why do you think.

146
00:11:20.759 --> 00:11:23.399
I sent for him? Why should I promise you a

147
00:11:23.480 --> 00:11:28.559
grand I don't remember? Oh, for Pete's sake, Martin, how

148
00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:30.639
many many you kill that you don't remember a job

149
00:11:30.759 --> 00:11:35.840
like this? Never mind the acts? Play it straight? Huh. Okay, okay,

150
00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:40.600
don't get nasty. It's too late to talk business anyway.

151
00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:43.679
Come on, I got a room fixed up for in back.

152
00:11:44.159 --> 00:11:46.759
Get a good night's sleep. We'll talk in the morning

153
00:11:47.799 --> 00:11:50.840
about an old man it's lived way past his time,

154
00:11:52.360 --> 00:11:56.200
About how you were going to take care of that Martin.

155
00:11:56.279 --> 00:11:58.960
I sent for you because I need money. I ain't

156
00:11:58.960 --> 00:12:04.480
got me. My uncle has old man CAREW. I'll get

157
00:12:04.519 --> 00:12:10.200
it from him when he dies, I will, so I

158
00:12:10.279 --> 00:12:14.759
want him to die. Oh, I got a grand in

159
00:12:14.919 --> 00:12:19.720
cash and yours for what come? My uncle don a

160
00:12:19.799 --> 00:12:24.639
little earlier than expecting. No dice, no diet, Martin. You

161
00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:27.080
take care of old man CAREW, so help me. I'll

162
00:12:27.120 --> 00:12:30.399
turn you in on that bank, John, I had Tunny,

163
00:12:30.440 --> 00:12:34.919
and I can prove that I And then I shut

164
00:12:34.960 --> 00:12:38.240
up quick Bliss was watching me with those little pig

165
00:12:38.240 --> 00:12:41.559
eyes in his fat face. Sure I could prove I

166
00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:45.120
wasn't Martin Pell, that I'd never been in Wisey, Oklahoma

167
00:12:45.240 --> 00:12:49.360
before in my life. Sure, But to do that, I'd

168
00:12:49.360 --> 00:12:52.279
have to admit I was Joe Harris. And when they

169
00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:54.759
found that corpse in the box car with my draft

170
00:12:54.759 --> 00:12:58.120
cart on him, that I'd be fine. A lot of

171
00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:00.960
attention that jury had paid to my plea of self defense,

172
00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:04.159
no witnesses, and me on the lamb, and me switching

173
00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:08.440
draft cards and panic. Sure, even the hangman that burst

174
00:13:08.519 --> 00:13:10.759
out laughing when he slipped a noose around my neck.

175
00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:15.879
I shut up quick Bliss watching me close, And then

176
00:13:15.919 --> 00:13:21.559
I said, Okay, Bliss, it's the deal. What's the layout.

177
00:13:29.679 --> 00:13:32.360
I'll pull in here. Trees will cover the car in

178
00:13:32.360 --> 00:13:34.919
case anybody happens to be out late on the highway.

179
00:13:35.720 --> 00:13:36.919
Can't be too careful.

180
00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:38.039
Ain't that so?

181
00:13:38.279 --> 00:13:38.440
Mum?

182
00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:39.799
That's so?

183
00:13:41.559 --> 00:13:51.360
Eh, let's get going. Oh here, you better take this what?

184
00:13:53.159 --> 00:13:56.919
Oh the tire iron? I picked it up in a

185
00:13:57.000 --> 00:14:00.279
junk yard. They never trace it to me. It's for

186
00:14:00.679 --> 00:14:08.480
old man crew. They bombing, and I ain't used to

207
00:16:04.840 --> 00:16:07.840
Uncle was caring for quite a bit of dough on him,

208
00:16:08.120 --> 00:16:15.200
Martin here, ah, yeah, take the money it's your payment. No,

209
00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:19.720
I'll put it in your pocket myself. That's very important.

210
00:16:20.200 --> 00:16:23.480
When they find you here and knocked out tripping over

211
00:16:23.519 --> 00:16:27.200
that busted porch step, they'll know why you killed old

212
00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:29.799
man Carew. What are you talking about? And knowing you're

213
00:16:29.840 --> 00:16:33.200
wrecking Martin, They'll never look for anybody else now when

214
00:16:33.200 --> 00:16:35.279
they find you on the premises with the old man's

215
00:16:35.279 --> 00:16:38.720
dough in your pocket and your fingerprints on the pine. No.

216
00:16:39.399 --> 00:16:52.000
Right, I was walking up a long flight of.

217
00:16:52.120 --> 00:16:57.240
Stairs with nothing at the top but more stairs and

218
00:16:58.279 --> 00:17:03.879
more stairs, and my head was hurting, and then I

219
00:17:03.960 --> 00:17:09.960
woke up, woke up lion outside of old man Carew's

220
00:17:10.039 --> 00:17:14.000
house with a bloodstained tire iron in my hand, I

221
00:17:14.079 --> 00:17:17.000
let go of it. I pulled myself to my feet,

222
00:17:17.400 --> 00:17:22.480
and then I heard cars. They were coming, and there

223
00:17:22.519 --> 00:17:27.240
I still was. I had to get away fast. I

224
00:17:27.279 --> 00:17:30.079
didn't know the country, but I was hunted, and a

225
00:17:30.160 --> 00:17:33.400
hunted animals got an instinct to hide, to run, and

226
00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:40.200
to hide from the killers. They didn't find me that

227
00:17:40.319 --> 00:17:44.400
day because I fooled them. I didn't try getting out

228
00:17:44.440 --> 00:17:46.799
of the county, getting away from the town. Oh no,

229
00:17:47.519 --> 00:17:50.480
that's why they were watching for me. So I stayed

230
00:17:50.519 --> 00:17:55.279
put close to town, which pooled them. And also I

231
00:17:55.319 --> 00:18:01.240
had a job to do. Where is it? H me?

232
00:18:02.440 --> 00:18:07.359
What are you doing here? I got paid for a

233
00:18:07.440 --> 00:18:12.519
killing I didn't do, so I figured maybe I better

234
00:18:12.680 --> 00:18:15.640
do a killing now for no pay at all. Stay

235
00:18:15.640 --> 00:18:20.359
where you are now we're alone here. I got this

236
00:18:20.559 --> 00:18:26.400
knife node. Listen, you've got a pen. Yeah, then sit

237
00:18:26.480 --> 00:18:29.640
down and write a little note about how you killed

238
00:18:29.680 --> 00:18:33.480
old man carew No, I got the knife against your heart.

239
00:18:34.319 --> 00:18:41.039
Sit down and write. All right, just right, I killed

240
00:18:42.519 --> 00:18:51.160
I kill my uncle because I wanted his money. I

241
00:18:51.359 --> 00:19:02.200
got it good, got it? Now sign your name pretty yeah?

242
00:19:02.599 --> 00:19:09.160
Watch started, take that knife away sure after rite?

243
00:19:11.880 --> 00:19:13.680
Yeah?

244
00:19:13.799 --> 00:19:18.160
Goodbye, and stop Bliss. I'd better put the knife in

245
00:19:18.200 --> 00:19:22.680
your hand like this too bad. Your nerves went back

246
00:19:22.720 --> 00:19:27.200
on you. You committed suicide, mister Bliss. That's what you did.

247
00:19:28.200 --> 00:19:37.119
And now they'll stop looking for me. I holed in

248
00:19:37.160 --> 00:19:41.079
and waited until they found Bliss, so the law was

249
00:19:41.119 --> 00:19:45.640
called off. There was nobody to look for, so I

250
00:19:45.680 --> 00:19:48.200
headed for the water and stopped in the frates because

251
00:19:48.240 --> 00:19:54.400
it was cold and I was heading for sunshine. There

252
00:19:54.440 --> 00:19:56.480
was a train getting ready to head for the coast,

253
00:19:56.519 --> 00:19:59.799
so I sneaked close to it. On the fire side.

254
00:20:00.319 --> 00:20:02.400
There was a couple of bulls around, chewing the rag,

255
00:20:02.440 --> 00:20:05.240
but they didn't see me. I spotted an open bus

256
00:20:05.279 --> 00:20:08.279
car and I climbed in and I got away from

257
00:20:08.279 --> 00:20:11.839
the door. The bulls were coming along checking. One of

258
00:20:11.839 --> 00:20:13.599
them sounded like the guy that had thrown me off

259
00:20:13.599 --> 00:20:17.359
the night before. This time I didn't care. I was

260
00:20:17.400 --> 00:20:20.400
hoping he locked the door on me. So I curled

261
00:20:20.480 --> 00:20:22.759
up in a corner and waited. Yeah, make that was

262
00:20:22.839 --> 00:20:25.319
quite a wreck. They head up ahead, Quite a wreck

263
00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:28.759
held up the line for twenty four hours. I was

264
00:20:28.880 --> 00:20:31.160
raight here and already pulled out when word came into

265
00:20:31.160 --> 00:20:33.640
the wreck up ahead. So they backed her right back

266
00:20:33.680 --> 00:20:36.759
here and let her stand right. She's on the way now.

267
00:20:38.119 --> 00:20:41.400
Uh one of them sliding doors is of them? Give

268
00:20:41.440 --> 00:20:48.200
me okay, wait, wait, wait, if this is the same train,

269
00:20:51.000 --> 00:20:56.319
it can't be this car. If it's the same train,

270
00:20:57.960 --> 00:21:05.160
this sacking would be over there. Let me see the second. Yeah,

271
00:21:05.200 --> 00:21:11.960
it's the second, and under it. I gotta see.

272
00:21:13.240 --> 00:21:24.160
Yeah, it's him, Martin Peth, and I'm liked him, with him.

273
00:21:25.759 --> 00:21:34.079
And to kill him. We're going to the sunshine together.

274
00:21:35.200 --> 00:21:40.400
And that's how the comet from finding together him dead,

275
00:21:40.799 --> 00:21:43.640
and Lee and.

276
00:21:43.880 --> 00:21:55.680
Me well well.

277
00:21:56.640 --> 00:21:59.839
Alas for poor Joe who couldn't keep out of box cards.

278
00:22:00.200 --> 00:22:02.759
He was a nice boy, but he couldn't stay put.

279
00:22:03.039 --> 00:22:03.960
I guess they'll give him.

280
00:22:03.880 --> 00:22:10.920
The order of the rolling Song Tombstall m M. I

281
00:22:11.039 --> 00:22:14.559
believe you with a happy parting thought. Whenever you hear

282
00:22:14.599 --> 00:22:18.200
a freight train whistling in the night, think.

283
00:22:18.000 --> 00:22:22.759
Of Joe and wonder is he still in it? With

284
00:22:22.920 --> 00:22:27.799
Martin rattling our friends.

285
00:22:27.839 --> 00:22:31.960
It's time once again to close that creaking door until

286
00:22:31.960 --> 00:22:34.079
next week at the same time when we'll be back

287
00:22:34.119 --> 00:22:35.519
with a little hunk of horror.

288
00:22:38.119 --> 00:22:41.559
You'll be sure to listen, don't you Until next week?

289
00:22:41.640 --> 00:22:47.319
Then good night, pleasant Green.

Oh, I never know if the night's getting hold of

293
00:24:23.359 --> 00:24:28.680
if it's just how chilling the stories truly are. Nothing

294
00:24:28.720 --> 00:24:32.240
really beats the golden age of fear on the airway.

295
00:24:32.319 --> 00:24:36.920
