Oh my, don't be afraid. I mean, not of this show. It's not real, at least I don't think it is. My dear, just relax and listen. These ghosts, ghouls, monsters, murderers and more aren't really here to get you, but your ears may lie to you...

00:00:08.919 --> 00:00:12.839
Oh, it looks like you've found
your way back yet again. Well done,
2
00:00:12.880 --> 00:00:17.160
well played. Really, twiddling that
little radio knob until you find me
3
00:00:17.239 --> 00:00:20.760
must be quite the chore, but
I do appreciate that you go through it
4
00:00:21.559 --> 00:00:26.960
just to spend a little time with
little old me. Goodness. Is there
5
00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:32.079
a chill in the air? I
uh, I think there is, anyway.
6
00:00:33.079 --> 00:00:40.079
I'm always so cold, now,
so very cold cold? What was
7
00:00:40.119 --> 00:00:43.079
that? Oh no, no,
no, don't even concern yourself with that.
8
00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:46.359
No, no, that has nothing
to do with anything here tonight.

00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:19.800
price to keep his path from being

in your office on a bright autumn

00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:53.879
your honest accomplishments, and then to
have your secretary come in and inform you
29
00:02:54.000 --> 00:03:00.080
that your little dream of security is
just fast a dream. He's a man
30
00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:04.159
made him diffuse this. He says
he's an old friend, but he wouldn't
31
00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:07.439
get his name. Anybody would know, Gladness. I've never seen him before.
32
00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:10.159
M Well, that's probably somebody wants
to sell me insurance. Tell him
33
00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:13.680
believe his name, will get in
touch with him. I've already told him
34
00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:16.719
that, mister Koles, but he's
very persistent. Oh well send him him.
35
00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:24.759
Yes, mister Koles will see you
now. Thanks, uster, dam
36
00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:30.960
I don't mind if I do judge. Well, now, what can I
37
00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:36.479
do for you? What's a lot
of judge? Don't you know your old
38
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:40.159
friends. I'm afraid you have me
at a disadvantage. I should have mister
39
00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:47.719
Koons, or maybe I should have
said mister Deal Venice Deal. I'm afraid
40
00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:51.919
I don't know you. You you'll
probably make some mistake now if you don't
41
00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:55.199
mind me, no mistake. But
if this will jack up your memory,
42
00:03:57.120 --> 00:04:01.439
what happened twelve years ago? April
fifth? Remember cell blocked d Tier eighteen?
43
00:04:01.639 --> 00:04:06.280
Sell six? Can you forget six
cons on the lamb? Five court
44
00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:12.560
ones getting away? Don't tell me
you don't recognize your own sell made Benny,

48
00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:29.439

00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:33.160
benefit with some society name. I

still lucky. Baby. You don't
think i'd sing on an old pile?

00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:54.959
Do you? What'll spoil your chance? Tonight? That Anderson Day were all
55
00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:57.360

hair do you think I am? What

00:04:57.639 --> 00:05:01.959
kind are you? I noticed the
shake down? Now how much very Bernie?
57
00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:06.759
You hurt my feelings. But if
you want to play it like that,
58
00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:12.720
let's make us five yards to start
with five hundred dollars. You wouldn't
59
00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:16.360
want no old friend to look shabby
with you, all right? He'd be
60
00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:38.959
at my apartment tonight. I'll have
the money for you. Hello, oh,

65
00:05:57.399 --> 00:06:02.240

Matt. Yes, sorry, I

72
00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:39.480
I've got it? Good, hand
it away. I want to make
73
00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:44.920
a proposition to you. I'm always
open to a proposition if it favors me.
74
00:06:45.160 --> 00:06:48.279
It does. What's the caper.
I've got the five hundreds for you
75
00:06:48.920 --> 00:06:55.480
and more. Keep talking. I'll
give you five thousand, but you've got
76
00:06:55.560 --> 00:06:58.480
to get out of state Offord and
never come back here. You've got to
77
00:06:58.480 --> 00:07:01.240
forget you wherever saw me. Oh
yeah, five thousand. Matt. You
78
00:07:01.360 --> 00:07:06.959
know, George, you ain't leveling
with me. Wait all that? Sure
79
00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:11.199
you ain't got more than five gees. I know that. But you got
80
00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:15.600
hidden masse sets like they say hidden
mass ah. You played a very smart
81
00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:20.759
George engaged to marry the and this
manufacturing company, I ain't. Anderson will
82
00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:25.480
be worth five to seven million bucks
when an old man cashing tenn his chip.
83
00:07:25.560 --> 00:07:30.040
What are you look baby? I
did fifteen years in stir you know
84
00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:33.240
what that is? I did twelve
more years and you and the way I
85
00:07:33.399 --> 00:07:36.839
see it, you ought to want
to see an old pal get ahead in
86
00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:42.879
the world. You've been lucky.
How about sharing a little of it.
87
00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:45.600
I'm willing to give you. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you
88
00:07:45.759 --> 00:07:48.079

take it as a down payment. That's
89
00:07:48.120 --> 00:07:54.720
your final word, No, Benny, you'll have the final word. You
90
00:07:54.959 --> 00:08:01.680
decide, pay off or go back. Somebody at the door, man,
91
00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:05.399
give me a break with if you're
going to open the door. Yeah,
92
00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:15.600
well where is here's the other woman? Oh, Helen? This is Matt
93
00:08:15.600 --> 00:08:18.839
Howard, Matt Helen and fan.
How do you do so? The other
94
00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:22.959
reason George forgot his dinner engagement with
me? You see George, and he
95
00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:28.639
was talking over old times school mate
in no way. No, well,
96
00:08:30.120 --> 00:08:31.639
Matt, I I guess we'll have
to break it up. Now, come
97
00:08:31.679 --> 00:08:35.200
in and see me in my office
tomorrow. George, aren't you going to
98
00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:37.200
ask us to Howard to have dinner
with this one? That's a fine way
99
00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:41.120
to treat an old friend, you
see, I guess George wants to be
100
00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:45.879
alone with you, miss and nonsense. George gets bored with the conversation.
101
00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:50.240
You come along with it. Whoa, what's up to George? Yes,
102
00:08:52.799 --> 00:09:05.440
why don't you master? See the
more the merrier, Your friend made a
103
00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:09.519
very interesting dinner companion, George the
man, Oh yeah, he's interesting,
104
00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:11.840
all right? What did he come
to say to put forth business? He's
105
00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:16.000
some sort of a promoter or something. And what does he have on you?
106
00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:22.600
Well, I don't understand you the
name. He's an whole friend from
107
00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:26.000
school. I'm not that stupid to
Howard's schooling has been so and far between
108
00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:31.000
when he's a little rough crew.
Maybe God, please drop that pose that
109
00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:35.440
Howard knows something about you, something
that you want to hide and keep hitting
110
00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:39.720
the lane. You're wrong. That's
how it doesn't lie to me. I'll
111
00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:41.919
forget it, please, will you? I can't. I've got to know,
112
00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:50.039
George. I've got to know right
now, very well. My name
113
00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:56.120
is not George Coomes. Go on. I was up to twelve years ago
114
00:09:56.200 --> 00:10:01.159
Bennett deal, convict six three to
two nine zero. I escaped prison with
115
00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:03.960
five other men. They were caught. I wasn't you want to get more?
116
00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:09.279
Go one? I was in for
life, a fourth offender under the
117
00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:13.679
law. I'm not defending myself.
I wasn't framed. I deserved what I
118
00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:18.519
was getting. But in prison,
for the first time, I had a
119
00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:22.720
chance to learn, something, to
study, to read, and it opened
120
00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:26.240
up a whole new life to me. I worked hard to improve myself to
121
00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:31.279
be somebody there. What chance would
an old ex khan have to start life
122
00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:37.039
over at fifty And the opportunity for
escape presented itself. I jumped at it.
123
00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:39.960
Well, I was lucky I got
away. Came me to say,
124
00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:46.200
of it? The rest you know? Is that all it Isn't that enough?
125
00:10:48.720 --> 00:11:00.799
Yes? Well, well I love
you, Helen. I should have
126
00:11:00.879 --> 00:11:03.200
told you sooner, but I was
afraid. You're afraid now, aren't you.
127
00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:07.840
That's what Matt Howard is holding over
your head. He wants money,
128
00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:09.919
lots of it. Well, then
give it to it. You don't understand.
129
00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:13.120
It'll never stop. He knows we're
going to be married, he knows
130
00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:16.759
you haven't me. What are you
turning under the police. I'd go back
131
00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:18.639
with him this time forever, I'd
never get asked. But then, what
132
00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:22.879
can you do? There are two
things one can do about a blackmailer.
133
00:11:24.360 --> 00:11:31.440
You can go on paying and the
other the other. I don't want to
134
00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:48.279
think of that yet. I didn't
see much of Helene for the next few
135
00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:52.440
days. I pretended that my job
kept me too busy. It was actually
136
00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:58.720
my dread of facing her for seeing
that unasked question in her eyes? What
137
00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:01.440
was I going to do about it? Matt Howard? She called finally and
138
00:12:01.480 --> 00:12:09.480
asked me to meet her for dinner. Our friend Matt was over at the
139
00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:13.399
plant this afternoon. He got in
to see Dad by using your name.
140
00:12:13.559 --> 00:12:18.200
What for? He wants a job? A job being certain? Yes,
141
00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:22.840
why, it's very strange five thousand
dollars of my money in his pocket and
142
00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:28.080
the prospects of getting more. Matt
Howard goes job unty. Would there be
143
00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:30.919
any harm? And you're vout seam
for him with Dad? Oh? No,
144
00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:35.919
I suppose he is planning some shady
deal the name. Suppose he does
145
00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:39.639
something which might point the finger at
me, or worse, involve you,
146
00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:43.000
cla Ain't the best thing for you
to do is to forget the whole goodness
147
00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:46.039
and me along with it. You
trying to tell me I've been gilded?
148
00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:52.039
Well suppose to when ahead and got
married? Every morning you'd have to face
149
00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:54.240
the inevitable faculty. It might be
our last day together. I'd say that
150
00:12:56.000 --> 00:13:00.559
is he George? All my life, I've gotten as I want you.
151
00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:03.360
Maybe I've been a spoiled brat,
but I'm too old now to change my
152
00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:09.600
way and I want you. I
want to marry you. But darlings,
153
00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:15.639
wait, I listen to me.
If Matt Howard is in the way,
154
00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:20.879
if he is keeping us from what, we won't say it. Head waiter's
155
00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:22.919
coming this way. Oh, he's
the most of that. You've got a
156
00:13:24.039 --> 00:13:26.799
uncle? Oh? Oh I see, well, pardon me, dear,
157
00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:41.600
I'll be handy right back. Hello. Yes, you know we met benefit
158
00:13:41.720 --> 00:13:43.159
you? Yes, sure, hold
I remember you. What is it?
159
00:13:43.679 --> 00:13:48.360
Well, it's kind of ridiculous.
But we picked up a man early the
160
00:13:48.440 --> 00:13:54.600
season. Yes, yes, go
on, Well what's he wanted for?
161
00:13:56.919 --> 00:14:01.759
What's his name? Howard said he
was when your last night, at the
162
00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:05.799
time a man was killed. He's
lying and all I want you to do
163
00:14:05.919 --> 00:14:11.279
is the same room. I'll be
right over, Hamilton, have to do
164
00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:20.440
it. I'll be right over.
What did you do? It happened that
165
00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:24.240
Howard killed a man last night.
He wants me to give him an alibi.
166
00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:26.279
What are you going to do?
I'm going over the police headquarters,
167
00:14:28.200 --> 00:14:31.600
and are you going to give him
an alibi? I don't know, I
168
00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:50.240
don't know. Hi, I know
you'd got to batami fool, you stupid
169
00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:52.720
start, crazy fool. All right, all right, so I made a
170
00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:56.480
mistake. I didn't mean to kill
him. You didn't mean to. This
171
00:14:56.600 --> 00:15:01.279
went so tragic to be funny.
I said I was sorry, and everything's
172
00:15:01.320 --> 00:15:03.399
okay. Now you gave me my
alibi. I haven't given any alibi,
173
00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:11.440
and I see, but you will, won't your baby, You'll say I
174
00:15:11.639 --> 00:15:16.320
was with you last night because if
you're done or how did it happen?
175
00:15:18.159 --> 00:15:20.919
Well, things is pretty dull.
So I get into this crap game.
176
00:15:20.320 --> 00:15:24.320
My work is bad. By nine
o'clock, I'm rubbing together in my pocket
177
00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:26.399
too, Sino. It's to tag
end of my role two left out of
178
00:15:26.480 --> 00:15:31.279
the five thousand. Yeah, well
I was sore. I remember the guy
179
00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:35.039
says he's closing the game up at
eleven o'clock. So you went back and
180
00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:37.639
killed him. I was identified as
one of the guys in the game,
181
00:15:37.799 --> 00:15:41.279
but they really got nothing on me. If you gave me the alibi,
182
00:15:41.440 --> 00:15:45.039
I do, man, that would
square us off. For good, wouldn't
183
00:15:45.039 --> 00:15:48.919
it. We'd be quit from now
on. You could grab the next train
184
00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:52.960
for New York. Grab the next
train for New York. He says,
185
00:15:54.639 --> 00:15:58.720
Hey, you're a funny guy,
Benny Funny, like them comics on the
186
00:15:58.840 --> 00:16:00.840
radio. Anybody, the rivers dried
up. The feast is over. There's
187
00:16:00.840 --> 00:16:04.519
no more dough. That's all I
have. What about your rich girlfriend after
188
00:16:04.559 --> 00:16:08.480
you marry her, it's not going
to be a marriage. We watched the
189
00:16:08.559 --> 00:16:15.320
whole deal tonight. You've done this
on purpose. You've done it to cheat
190
00:16:15.399 --> 00:16:18.000
me. Maybe why aye? You
are to kill you? Kill me?
191
00:16:23.320 --> 00:16:30.480
All right? Get up, Get
up? Okay, but I shouldn't have
192
00:16:30.639 --> 00:16:34.559
tried that with you. Get this
for your head. Man. You can't
193
00:16:34.639 --> 00:16:38.279
blackmail me anymore. I've got as
much on you as you have on me.
194
00:16:40.559 --> 00:16:45.960
Oh, brave boy, I'm calling
you a bluff. I'm playing this
195
00:16:45.200 --> 00:16:51.759
game my way, And here's the
card you're gonna tell the cops. I
196
00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:56.320
was with you last night. I'm
staying here, and you're gonna marry Anderson
197
00:16:56.399 --> 00:17:02.360
Doe. You're right the hand.
I got nothing to lose. You have
198
00:17:03.119 --> 00:17:10.359
no move. Well, the cool
five minute visiting time is up. I'm
199
00:17:10.400 --> 00:17:14.160
glad you come in tree. Mister
Coomb has just been checking with me on
200
00:17:14.319 --> 00:17:18.839
the time I came over to see
him last night. What goes mister Coombs?
201
00:17:18.799 --> 00:17:34.640
I guess he does, Condlton.
I'm giving him this hellobye hello,
202
00:17:36.880 --> 00:17:41.240
Helen, Yes, yes, well
how did you find out so quickly?
203
00:17:41.359 --> 00:17:45.079
He called you? Yes? And
he's coming to my house? What does
204
00:17:45.119 --> 00:17:48.799
he want? I couldn't quite make
out. Something about patting things up between
205
00:17:48.880 --> 00:17:52.680
us. I told him we had
a bus stop. But Helene, you
206
00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:55.880
shouldn't have told him he could come
out there. Don't you see what this
207
00:17:56.079 --> 00:17:59.880
is? Our chat chat? Are
you coming here? Will I have to
208
00:18:00.039 --> 00:18:12.759
do it at all? I'll be
right out. Mister Coombs is here,
209
00:18:12.799 --> 00:18:17.680
Miss Anderson, thank you, Edward, Hello, john Way. We are
210
00:18:17.759 --> 00:18:19.759
all ready to go, Miss Anderson. The cars in the grave. That's
211
00:18:19.799 --> 00:18:22.920
fine, Edwards. I hope you
enjoyed the picture. Good night, good
212
00:18:23.000 --> 00:18:27.279
night, miss good night too.
Good night. You're sending all the seven
213
00:18:27.319 --> 00:18:30.559
thousands. He wants to see me
in private. He knows that they had
214
00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:34.079
left for Detroit this afternoon. He's
taking no chances. He's taking a big
215
00:18:34.240 --> 00:18:37.559
chance, George, bigger than he
knows. We can't do it. We
216
00:18:37.799 --> 00:18:41.039
can nobody knows he's coming here,
nobody but you and me. No,
217
00:18:41.200 --> 00:18:45.799
it won't work. Now listen to
me, Just listen, George. We
218
00:18:45.880 --> 00:18:48.640
can put his body in your car, take him to the family country.
219
00:18:48.319 --> 00:18:51.839
No, no, no, I
don't want you mixed up. We've got
220
00:18:51.920 --> 00:18:55.880
to do it. We'll do it
together. I've got dad Rebarber. I'm
221
00:18:55.920 --> 00:19:00.599
not afraid, and it's our last
chance. It's our only chance. Matt
222
00:19:00.640 --> 00:19:04.319
Howard has to die. But I
won't have you involved. I have to
223
00:19:04.319 --> 00:19:15.119
do it myself. It took me
less time to get back to the center
224
00:19:15.200 --> 00:19:18.279
of town than it took to get
to Helene's. And when I got to
225
00:19:18.359 --> 00:19:22.200
the business district, I parked the
car on the dark side street. I
226
00:19:22.319 --> 00:19:26.920
went into a drug store and called
Matt Howard's hotel. They told me he
227
00:19:26.039 --> 00:19:33.400
was out. I called Helene it. I must have missed him one a
228
00:19:33.400 --> 00:19:37.160
way. Don't do anything. Send
him back to town, all right,
229
00:19:37.960 --> 00:19:42.119
how did he come out? TAXI
good? Send him back to town.
230
00:19:48.480 --> 00:19:52.960
I went back to the road he
has to take. It was late and
231
00:19:52.960 --> 00:19:57.559
there was no traffic. I parked
and waited. I must have waited about
232
00:19:57.599 --> 00:20:03.319
half an hour, and I saw
it coming his car. I switched on
233
00:20:03.440 --> 00:20:10.359
my ignition Brott in my car.
He went past. I started up to
234
00:20:10.480 --> 00:20:21.839
him slowly, I overtook him,
pulled alongside. I see his face trained
235
00:20:22.039 --> 00:20:26.920
with white fears. He hunched over
the wheel. Then I cut in front
236
00:20:26.920 --> 00:20:42.599
of him. I got out of
my car and looked at him. He
237
00:20:42.759 --> 00:20:48.440
was dead. He'd swerved to avoid
hitting me and crashed into a concrete embankment.
238
00:20:48.559 --> 00:20:59.920
My car wasn't even scratched. We
hadn't been seen. Light were all
239
00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:03.599
out in Helene's house when I got
there. She'd probably gone to bed,
240
00:21:03.640 --> 00:21:08.880
I thought. I rang the bell, no answer. I was getting back
241
00:21:08.920 --> 00:21:18.039
into my car. Edwards and the
servants drove up. What a break My
242
00:21:18.240 --> 00:21:22.960
alibi completed, if I need one. Edwards saw me come in, and
243
00:21:23.119 --> 00:21:30.160
now he sees me leaving me.
Hello, Edward's good movie. Oh yes,
244
00:21:30.240 --> 00:21:33.759
sir, No you leave me here, Edwards. Miss Anderson has just
245
00:21:33.839 --> 00:21:47.079
gone to bed. Good night,
good night. I never felt better in
246
00:21:47.200 --> 00:21:51.960
my life. That's would look like
an accident. If there was any question,
247
00:21:52.200 --> 00:21:56.200
I had a perfect alibi. I
climbed into bed with the knowledge that
248
00:21:56.279 --> 00:21:59.920
I get my first good sleep since
Matt Howard came to fate of her.
249
00:22:00.839 --> 00:22:03.599
I couldn't have been asleep for more
than an hour, and I was awakened
250
00:22:03.599 --> 00:22:11.720
by someone knocking on my door?
Who's there? May almost open up?
251
00:22:11.200 --> 00:22:22.799
Wait a minute, solid fuss,
Hamilton, Miss Coons, I must warn
252
00:22:22.920 --> 00:22:27.759
you. Everything you say now can
be used against you. I'm serious as
253
00:22:27.839 --> 00:22:34.359
it is. Murder murder again?
Is this variety of a gag? Helton?
254
00:22:36.480 --> 00:22:40.799
Where were you this evening after you
left me at my fiance's home?
255
00:22:40.839 --> 00:22:45.440
You know Helene Anderson? Yeah?
That checks all right? You left at
256
00:22:45.480 --> 00:22:49.079
what time? By about eleven thirty
five? Edwards the butler saw me,
257
00:22:51.200 --> 00:22:53.160
mister Koons, Well fine, no, please go away and let me get
258
00:22:53.200 --> 00:22:56.720
some sleep. I'm sorry, mister
Koons, I'm going to have to hold
259
00:22:56.759 --> 00:23:00.920
you for murder. But me,
who who did? I murdered your fiancee?
260
00:23:02.359 --> 00:23:21.880
Helene Anderson? Strangled to death?
There it is my story. Matt
261
00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:26.079
must have overheard Helene's talking on the
phone to me. Didn't fear or panic,
262
00:23:26.599 --> 00:23:33.640
He killed her? Whatever happened,
Elene said, I don't care much
263
00:23:33.720 --> 00:23:37.920
what happens to me now. The
irony of the situation is that map death
264
00:23:38.279 --> 00:23:45.759
was put down his accident. Well, the jury is out now, it
265
00:23:45.839 --> 00:23:51.160
won't be out law. As the
prosecutor said in his closing speech, what
266
00:23:51.319 --> 00:24:10.759
can you expect from an habitual criminal, A four times loser? We could
267
00:24:10.759 --> 00:24:15.039
all use a little happy tune after
that, And of course it is the
268
00:24:15.160 --> 00:24:22.039
only record I still have here other
than these well kept recordings of fears past.
269
00:24:22.839 --> 00:24:26.200
I hope you enjoyed tonight's terror tale
as much as I did. Oh
270
00:24:26.279 --> 00:24:30.319
my goodness, oh my indeed,
Well, my dear, the sun is
271
00:24:30.480 --> 00:24:34.599
going to come up soon, and
that means my time is ending until of
272
00:24:34.680 --> 00:24:44.359
course, tomorrow night. So please
stay warm and maybe just maybe appreciate the
273
00:24:44.480 --> 00:24:48.759
life you have left to live,
because who knows how much of it you
274
00:24:48.920 --> 00:24:53.079
truly have. You don't really have
life, You're just renting it for the
275
00:24:53.160 --> 00:25:00.480
time being. Well, until next
time, make sure you subscribe and I'll
276
00:25:00.519 --> 00:25:06.960
see you in the evening. Now, I think I'm going to go pet
277
00:25:07.039 --> 00:25:27.799
my dog, if I have a
dog. My dear follow mumbling, breaking,
1
00:00:08.919 --> 00:00:12.839
Oh, it looks like you've found
your way back yet again. Well done,
2
00:00:12.880 --> 00:00:17.160
well played. Really, twiddling that
little radio knob until you find me
3
00:00:17.239 --> 00:00:20.760
must be quite the chore, but
I do appreciate that you go through it
4
00:00:21.559 --> 00:00:26.960
just to spend a little time with
little old me. Goodness. Is there
5
00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:32.079
a chill in the air? I
uh, I think there is, anyway.
6
00:00:33.079 --> 00:00:40.079
I'm always so cold, now,
so very cold cold? What was
7
00:00:40.119 --> 00:00:43.079
that? Oh no, no,
no, don't even concern yourself with that.
8
00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:46.359
No, no, that has nothing
to do with anything here tonight.
9
00:00:46.920 --> 00:00:51.799
Oh no, no, no,
please just relax. We have another classic
10
00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:55.240
piece of fear. I want to
share with you something that makes me feel
11
00:00:55.640 --> 00:00:59.399
alive, and that's really saying something
when you think about it, and I
12
00:00:59.439 --> 00:01:02.719
want to mention it. If you
have a desire to reach out and talk
13
00:01:02.759 --> 00:01:06.719
to me, well you can either
get a Ouiji board or you can send
14
00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:10.719
me an email. Because the Internet, well it pretty much expands anywhere you
15
00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:15.920
wanted to. You can reach me
at Weird Mysteries show at gmail dot com,
16
00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:19.959
or you can go to Weird dash
Mysteries dot com and find all of
17
00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:23.920
our shows and a bit more.
Maybe even leave a tip, because even
18
00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:29.560
where I am money can help a

00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:19.800
price to keep his path from being

in your office on a bright autumn
afternoon, free from worry, proud of
28
00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:53.879
your honest accomplishments, and then to
have your secretary come in and inform you
29
00:02:54.000 --> 00:03:00.080
that your little dream of security is
just fast a dream. He's a man
30
00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:04.159
made him diffuse this. He says
he's an old friend, but he wouldn't
31
00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:07.439
get his name. Anybody would know, Gladness. I've never seen him before.
32
00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:10.159
M Well, that's probably somebody wants
to sell me insurance. Tell him
33
00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:13.680
believe his name, will get in
touch with him. I've already told him
34
00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:16.719
that, mister Koles, but he's
very persistent. Oh well send him him.
35
00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:24.759
Yes, mister Koles will see you
now. Thanks, uster, dam
36
00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:30.960
I don't mind if I do judge. Well, now, what can I
37
00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:36.479
do for you? What's a lot
of judge? Don't you know your old
38
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:40.159
friends. I'm afraid you have me
at a disadvantage. I should have mister
39
00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:47.719
Koons, or maybe I should have
said mister Deal Venice Deal. I'm afraid
40
00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:51.919
I don't know you. You you'll
probably make some mistake now if you don't
41
00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:55.199
mind me, no mistake. But
if this will jack up your memory,
42
00:03:57.120 --> 00:04:01.439
what happened twelve years ago? April
fifth? Remember cell blocked d Tier eighteen?
43
00:04:01.639 --> 00:04:06.280
Sell six? Can you forget six
cons on the lamb? Five court
44
00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:12.560
ones getting away? Don't tell me
you don't recognize your own sell made Benny,

49
00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:33.160
benefit with some society name. I
recognized you, off, you recognize me,
50
00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:38.639

00:04:38.759 --> 00:04:44.600
lot years. Great at the sides
glasses. You're heavy now taking on some

00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:47.360

years till you came along. Nine You're

00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:50.480
still lucky. Baby. You don't
think i'd sing on an old pile?
54
00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:54.959
Do you? What'll spoil your chance? Tonight? That Anderson Day were all
55
00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:57.360

hair do you think I am? What

00:04:57.639 --> 00:05:01.959
kind are you? I noticed the
shake down? Now how much very Bernie?
57
00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:06.759
You hurt my feelings. But if
you want to play it like that,
58
00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:12.720
let's make us five yards to start
with five hundred dollars. You wouldn't
59
00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:16.360
want no old friend to look shabby
with you, all right? He'd be
60
00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:38.959
at my apartment tonight. I'll have
the money for you. Hello, oh,
61
00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:46.120

00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:50.720
no, of course I haven't,
Helene, I haven't forgotten. Now I'll
64
00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:57.319
pick you up in fifteen minutes,
right now, Well, wait for me
65
00:05:57.399 --> 00:06:02.240

I'll be right down. No dear,

00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:08.040

00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:12.720

then you won't mind coming up Helene?
68
00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:24.120

71
00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:35.560
Matt. Yes, sorry, I
like it. Got the money, yes,
72
00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:39.480
I've got it? Good, hand
it away. I want to make
73
00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:44.920
a proposition to you. I'm always
open to a proposition if it favors me.
74
00:06:45.160 --> 00:06:48.279
It does. What's the caper.
I've got the five hundreds for you
75
00:06:48.920 --> 00:06:55.480
and more. Keep talking. I'll
give you five thousand, but you've got
76
00:06:55.560 --> 00:06:58.480
to get out of state Offord and
never come back here. You've got to
77
00:06:58.480 --> 00:07:01.240
forget you wherever saw me. Oh
yeah, five thousand. Matt. You
78
00:07:01.360 --> 00:07:06.959
know, George, you ain't leveling
with me. Wait all that? Sure
79
00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:11.199
you ain't got more than five gees. I know that. But you got
80
00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:15.600
hidden masse sets like they say hidden
mass ah. You played a very smart
81
00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:20.759
George engaged to marry the and this
manufacturing company, I ain't. Anderson will
82
00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:25.480
be worth five to seven million bucks
when an old man cashing tenn his chip.
83
00:07:25.560 --> 00:07:30.040
What are you look baby? I
did fifteen years in stir you know
84
00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:33.240
what that is? I did twelve
more years and you and the way I
85
00:07:33.399 --> 00:07:36.839
see it, you ought to want
to see an old pal get ahead in
86
00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:42.879
the world. You've been lucky.
How about sharing a little of it.
87
00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:45.600
I'm willing to give you. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you
88
00:07:45.759 --> 00:07:48.079
said five gs. Thanks. I'll
take it as a down payment. That's
89
00:07:48.120 --> 00:07:54.720
your final word, No, Benny, you'll have the final word. You
90
00:07:54.959 --> 00:08:01.680
decide, pay off or go back. Somebody at the door, man,
91
00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:05.399
give me a break with if you're
going to open the door. Yeah,
92
00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:15.600
well where is here's the other woman? Oh, Helen? This is Matt
93
00:08:15.600 --> 00:08:18.839
Howard, Matt Helen and fan.
How do you do so? The other
94
00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:22.959
reason George forgot his dinner engagement with
me? You see George, and he
95
00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:28.639
was talking over old times school mate
in no way. No, well,
96
00:08:30.120 --> 00:08:31.639
Matt, I I guess we'll have
to break it up. Now, come
97
00:08:31.679 --> 00:08:35.200
in and see me in my office
tomorrow. George, aren't you going to
98
00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:37.200
ask us to Howard to have dinner
with this one? That's a fine way
99
00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:41.120
to treat an old friend, you
see, I guess George wants to be
100
00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:45.879
alone with you, miss and nonsense. George gets bored with the conversation.
101
00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:50.240
You come along with it. Whoa, what's up to George? Yes,
102
00:08:52.799 --> 00:09:05.440
why don't you master? See the
more the merrier, Your friend made a
103
00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:09.519
very interesting dinner companion, George the
man, Oh yeah, he's interesting,
104
00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:11.840
all right? What did he come
to say to put forth business? He's
105
00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:16.000
some sort of a promoter or something. And what does he have on you?
106
00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:22.600
Well, I don't understand you the
name. He's an whole friend from
107
00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:26.000
school. I'm not that stupid to
Howard's schooling has been so and far between
108
00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:31.000
when he's a little rough crew.
Maybe God, please drop that pose that
109
00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:35.440
Howard knows something about you, something
that you want to hide and keep hitting
110
00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:39.720
the lane. You're wrong. That's
how it doesn't lie to me. I'll
111
00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:41.919
forget it, please, will you? I can't. I've got to know,
112
00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:50.039
George. I've got to know right
now, very well. My name
113
00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:56.120
is not George Coomes. Go on. I was up to twelve years ago
114
00:09:56.200 --> 00:10:01.159
Bennett deal, convict six three to
two nine zero. I escaped prison with
115
00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:03.960
five other men. They were caught. I wasn't you want to get more?
116
00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:09.279
Go one? I was in for
life, a fourth offender under the
117
00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:13.679
law. I'm not defending myself.
I wasn't framed. I deserved what I
118
00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:18.519
was getting. But in prison,
for the first time, I had a
119
00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:22.720
chance to learn, something, to
study, to read, and it opened
120
00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:26.240
up a whole new life to me. I worked hard to improve myself to
121
00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:31.279
be somebody there. What chance would
an old ex khan have to start life
122
00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:37.039
over at fifty And the opportunity for
escape presented itself. I jumped at it.
123
00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:39.960
Well, I was lucky I got
away. Came me to say,
124
00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:46.200
of it? The rest you know? Is that all it Isn't that enough?
125
00:10:48.720 --> 00:11:00.799
Yes? Well, well I love
you, Helen. I should have
126
00:11:00.879 --> 00:11:03.200
told you sooner, but I was
afraid. You're afraid now, aren't you.
127
00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:07.840
That's what Matt Howard is holding over
your head. He wants money,
128
00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:09.919
lots of it. Well, then
give it to it. You don't understand.
129
00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:13.120
It'll never stop. He knows we're
going to be married, he knows
130
00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:16.759
you haven't me. What are you
turning under the police. I'd go back
131
00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:18.639
with him this time forever, I'd
never get asked. But then, what
132
00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:22.879
can you do? There are two
things one can do about a blackmailer.
133
00:11:24.360 --> 00:11:31.440
You can go on paying and the
other the other. I don't want to
134
00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:48.279
think of that yet. I didn't
see much of Helene for the next few
135
00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:52.440
days. I pretended that my job
kept me too busy. It was actually
136
00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:58.720
my dread of facing her for seeing
that unasked question in her eyes? What
137
00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:01.440
was I going to do about it? Matt Howard? She called finally and
138
00:12:01.480 --> 00:12:09.480
asked me to meet her for dinner. Our friend Matt was over at the
139
00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:13.399
plant this afternoon. He got in
to see Dad by using your name.
140
00:12:13.559 --> 00:12:18.200
What for? He wants a job? A job being certain? Yes,
141
00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:22.840
why, it's very strange five thousand
dollars of my money in his pocket and
142
00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:28.080
the prospects of getting more. Matt
Howard goes job unty. Would there be
143
00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:30.919
any harm? And you're vout seam
for him with Dad? Oh? No,
144
00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:35.919
I suppose he is planning some shady
deal the name. Suppose he does
145
00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:39.639
something which might point the finger at
me, or worse, involve you,
146
00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:43.000
cla Ain't the best thing for you
to do is to forget the whole goodness
147
00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:46.039
and me along with it. You
trying to tell me I've been gilded?
148
00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:52.039
Well suppose to when ahead and got
married? Every morning you'd have to face
149
00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:54.240
the inevitable faculty. It might be
our last day together. I'd say that
150
00:12:56.000 --> 00:13:00.559
is he George? All my life, I've gotten as I want you.
151
00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:03.360
Maybe I've been a spoiled brat,
but I'm too old now to change my
152
00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:09.600
way and I want you. I
want to marry you. But darlings,
153
00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:15.639
wait, I listen to me.
If Matt Howard is in the way,
154
00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:20.879
if he is keeping us from what, we won't say it. Head waiter's
155
00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:22.919
coming this way. Oh, he's
the most of that. You've got a
156
00:13:24.039 --> 00:13:26.799
uncle? Oh? Oh I see, well, pardon me, dear,
157
00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:41.600
I'll be handy right back. Hello. Yes, you know we met benefit
158
00:13:41.720 --> 00:13:43.159
you? Yes, sure, hold
I remember you. What is it?
159
00:13:43.679 --> 00:13:48.360
Well, it's kind of ridiculous.
But we picked up a man early the
160
00:13:48.440 --> 00:13:54.600
season. Yes, yes, go
on, Well what's he wanted for?
161
00:13:56.919 --> 00:14:01.759
What's his name? Howard said he
was when your last night, at the
162
00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:05.799
time a man was killed. He's
lying and all I want you to do
163
00:14:05.919 --> 00:14:11.279
is the same room. I'll be
right over, Hamilton, have to do
164
00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:20.440
it. I'll be right over.
What did you do? It happened that
165
00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:24.240
Howard killed a man last night.
He wants me to give him an alibi.
166
00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:26.279
What are you going to do?
I'm going over the police headquarters,
167
00:14:28.200 --> 00:14:31.600
and are you going to give him
an alibi? I don't know, I
168
00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:50.240
don't know. Hi, I know
you'd got to batami fool, you stupid
169
00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:52.720
start, crazy fool. All right, all right, so I made a
170
00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:56.480
mistake. I didn't mean to kill
him. You didn't mean to. This
171
00:14:56.600 --> 00:15:01.279
went so tragic to be funny.
I said I was sorry, and everything's
172
00:15:01.320 --> 00:15:03.399
okay. Now you gave me my
alibi. I haven't given any alibi,
173
00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:11.440
and I see, but you will, won't your baby, You'll say I
174
00:15:11.639 --> 00:15:16.320
was with you last night because if
you're done or how did it happen?
175
00:15:18.159 --> 00:15:20.919
Well, things is pretty dull.
So I get into this crap game.
176
00:15:20.320 --> 00:15:24.320
My work is bad. By nine
o'clock, I'm rubbing together in my pocket
177
00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:26.399
too, Sino. It's to tag
end of my role two left out of
178
00:15:26.480 --> 00:15:31.279
the five thousand. Yeah, well
I was sore. I remember the guy
179
00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:35.039
says he's closing the game up at
eleven o'clock. So you went back and
180
00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:37.639
killed him. I was identified as
one of the guys in the game,
181
00:15:37.799 --> 00:15:41.279
but they really got nothing on me. If you gave me the alibi,
182
00:15:41.440 --> 00:15:45.039
I do, man, that would
square us off. For good, wouldn't
183
00:15:45.039 --> 00:15:48.919
it. We'd be quit from now
on. You could grab the next train
184
00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:52.960
for New York. Grab the next
train for New York. He says,
185
00:15:54.639 --> 00:15:58.720
Hey, you're a funny guy,
Benny Funny, like them comics on the
186
00:15:58.840 --> 00:16:00.840
radio. Anybody, the rivers dried
up. The feast is over. There's
187
00:16:00.840 --> 00:16:04.519
no more dough. That's all I
have. What about your rich girlfriend after
188
00:16:04.559 --> 00:16:08.480
you marry her, it's not going
to be a marriage. We watched the
189
00:16:08.559 --> 00:16:15.320
whole deal tonight. You've done this
on purpose. You've done it to cheat
190
00:16:15.399 --> 00:16:18.000
me. Maybe why aye? You
are to kill you? Kill me?
191
00:16:23.320 --> 00:16:30.480
All right? Get up, Get
up? Okay, but I shouldn't have
192
00:16:30.639 --> 00:16:34.559
tried that with you. Get this
for your head. Man. You can't
193
00:16:34.639 --> 00:16:38.279
blackmail me anymore. I've got as
much on you as you have on me.
194
00:16:40.559 --> 00:16:45.960
Oh, brave boy, I'm calling
you a bluff. I'm playing this
195
00:16:45.200 --> 00:16:51.759
game my way, And here's the
card you're gonna tell the cops. I
196
00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:56.320
was with you last night. I'm
staying here, and you're gonna marry Anderson
197
00:16:56.399 --> 00:17:02.360
Doe. You're right the hand.
I got nothing to lose. You have
198
00:17:03.119 --> 00:17:10.359
no move. Well, the cool
five minute visiting time is up. I'm
199
00:17:10.400 --> 00:17:14.160
glad you come in tree. Mister
Coomb has just been checking with me on
200
00:17:14.319 --> 00:17:18.839
the time I came over to see
him last night. What goes mister Coombs?
201
00:17:18.799 --> 00:17:34.640
I guess he does, Condlton.
I'm giving him this hellobye hello,
202
00:17:36.880 --> 00:17:41.240
Helen, Yes, yes, well
how did you find out so quickly?
203
00:17:41.359 --> 00:17:45.079
He called you? Yes? And
he's coming to my house? What does
204
00:17:45.119 --> 00:17:48.799
he want? I couldn't quite make
out. Something about patting things up between
205
00:17:48.880 --> 00:17:52.680
us. I told him we had
a bus stop. But Helene, you
206
00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:55.880
shouldn't have told him he could come
out there. Don't you see what this
207
00:17:56.079 --> 00:17:59.880
is? Our chat chat? Are
you coming here? Will I have to
208
00:18:00.039 --> 00:18:12.759
do it at all? I'll be
right out. Mister Coombs is here,
209
00:18:12.799 --> 00:18:17.680
Miss Anderson, thank you, Edward, Hello, john Way. We are
210
00:18:17.759 --> 00:18:19.759
all ready to go, Miss Anderson. The cars in the grave. That's
211
00:18:19.799 --> 00:18:22.920
fine, Edwards. I hope you
enjoyed the picture. Good night, good
212
00:18:23.000 --> 00:18:27.279
night, miss good night too.
Good night. You're sending all the seven
213
00:18:27.319 --> 00:18:30.559
thousands. He wants to see me
in private. He knows that they had
214
00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:34.079
left for Detroit this afternoon. He's
taking no chances. He's taking a big
215
00:18:34.240 --> 00:18:37.559
chance, George, bigger than he
knows. We can't do it. We
216
00:18:37.799 --> 00:18:41.039
can nobody knows he's coming here,
nobody but you and me. No,
217
00:18:41.200 --> 00:18:45.799
it won't work. Now listen to
me, Just listen, George. We
218
00:18:45.880 --> 00:18:48.640
can put his body in your car, take him to the family country.
219
00:18:48.319 --> 00:18:51.839
No, no, no, I
don't want you mixed up. We've got
220
00:18:51.920 --> 00:18:55.880
to do it. We'll do it
together. I've got dad Rebarber. I'm
221
00:18:55.920 --> 00:19:00.599
not afraid, and it's our last
chance. It's our only chance. Matt
222
00:19:00.640 --> 00:19:04.319
Howard has to die. But I
won't have you involved. I have to
223
00:19:04.319 --> 00:19:15.119
do it myself. It took me
less time to get back to the center
224
00:19:15.200 --> 00:19:18.279
of town than it took to get
to Helene's. And when I got to
225
00:19:18.359 --> 00:19:22.200
the business district, I parked the
car on the dark side street. I
226
00:19:22.319 --> 00:19:26.920
went into a drug store and called
Matt Howard's hotel. They told me he
227
00:19:26.039 --> 00:19:33.400
was out. I called Helene it. I must have missed him one a
228
00:19:33.400 --> 00:19:37.160
way. Don't do anything. Send
him back to town, all right,
229
00:19:37.960 --> 00:19:42.119
how did he come out? TAXI
good? Send him back to town.
230
00:19:48.480 --> 00:19:52.960
I went back to the road he
has to take. It was late and
231
00:19:52.960 --> 00:19:57.559
there was no traffic. I parked
and waited. I must have waited about
232
00:19:57.599 --> 00:20:03.319
half an hour, and I saw
it coming his car. I switched on
233
00:20:03.440 --> 00:20:10.359
my ignition Brott in my car.
He went past. I started up to
234
00:20:10.480 --> 00:20:21.839
him slowly, I overtook him,
pulled alongside. I see his face trained
235
00:20:22.039 --> 00:20:26.920
with white fears. He hunched over
the wheel. Then I cut in front
236
00:20:26.920 --> 00:20:42.599
of him. I got out of
my car and looked at him. He
237
00:20:42.759 --> 00:20:48.440
was dead. He'd swerved to avoid
hitting me and crashed into a concrete embankment.
238
00:20:48.559 --> 00:20:59.920
My car wasn't even scratched. We
hadn't been seen. Light were all
239
00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:03.599
out in Helene's house when I got
there. She'd probably gone to bed,
240
00:21:03.640 --> 00:21:08.880
I thought. I rang the bell, no answer. I was getting back
241
00:21:08.920 --> 00:21:18.039
into my car. Edwards and the
servants drove up. What a break My
242
00:21:18.240 --> 00:21:22.960
alibi completed, if I need one. Edwards saw me come in, and
243
00:21:23.119 --> 00:21:30.160
now he sees me leaving me.
Hello, Edward's good movie. Oh yes,
244
00:21:30.240 --> 00:21:33.759
sir, No you leave me here, Edwards. Miss Anderson has just
245
00:21:33.839 --> 00:21:47.079
gone to bed. Good night,
good night. I never felt better in
246
00:21:47.200 --> 00:21:51.960
my life. That's would look like
an accident. If there was any question,
247
00:21:52.200 --> 00:21:56.200
I had a perfect alibi. I
climbed into bed with the knowledge that
248
00:21:56.279 --> 00:21:59.920
I get my first good sleep since
Matt Howard came to fate of her.
249
00:22:00.839 --> 00:22:03.599
I couldn't have been asleep for more
than an hour, and I was awakened
250
00:22:03.599 --> 00:22:11.720
by someone knocking on my door?
Who's there? May almost open up?
251
00:22:11.200 --> 00:22:22.799
Wait a minute, solid fuss,
Hamilton, Miss Coons, I must warn
252
00:22:22.920 --> 00:22:27.759
you. Everything you say now can
be used against you. I'm serious as
253
00:22:27.839 --> 00:22:34.359
it is. Murder murder again?
Is this variety of a gag? Helton?
254
00:22:36.480 --> 00:22:40.799
Where were you this evening after you
left me at my fiance's home?
255
00:22:40.839 --> 00:22:45.440
You know Helene Anderson? Yeah?
That checks all right? You left at
256
00:22:45.480 --> 00:22:49.079
what time? By about eleven thirty
five? Edwards the butler saw me,
257
00:22:51.200 --> 00:22:53.160
mister Koons, Well fine, no, please go away and let me get
258
00:22:53.200 --> 00:22:56.720
some sleep. I'm sorry, mister
Koons, I'm going to have to hold
259
00:22:56.759 --> 00:23:00.920
you for murder. But me,
who who did? I murdered your fiancee?
260
00:23:02.359 --> 00:23:21.880
Helene Anderson? Strangled to death?
There it is my story. Matt
261
00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:26.079
must have overheard Helene's talking on the
phone to me. Didn't fear or panic,
262
00:23:26.599 --> 00:23:33.640
He killed her? Whatever happened,
Elene said, I don't care much
263
00:23:33.720 --> 00:23:37.920
what happens to me now. The
irony of the situation is that map death
264
00:23:38.279 --> 00:23:45.759
was put down his accident. Well, the jury is out now, it
265
00:23:45.839 --> 00:23:51.160
won't be out law. As the
prosecutor said in his closing speech, what
266
00:23:51.319 --> 00:24:10.759
can you expect from an habitual criminal, A four times loser? We could
267
00:24:10.759 --> 00:24:15.039
all use a little happy tune after
that, And of course it is the
268
00:24:15.160 --> 00:24:22.039
only record I still have here other
than these well kept recordings of fears past.
269
00:24:22.839 --> 00:24:26.200
I hope you enjoyed tonight's terror tale
as much as I did. Oh
270
00:24:26.279 --> 00:24:30.319
my goodness, oh my indeed,
Well, my dear, the sun is
271
00:24:30.480 --> 00:24:34.599
going to come up soon, and
that means my time is ending until of
272
00:24:34.680 --> 00:24:44.359
course, tomorrow night. So please
stay warm and maybe just maybe appreciate the
273
00:24:44.480 --> 00:24:48.759
life you have left to live,
because who knows how much of it you
274
00:24:48.920 --> 00:24:53.079
truly have. You don't really have
life, You're just renting it for the
275
00:24:53.160 --> 00:25:00.480
time being. Well, until next
time, make sure you subscribe and I'll
276
00:25:00.519 --> 00:25:06.960
see you in the evening. Now, I think I'm going to go pet
277
00:25:07.039 --> 00:25:27.799
my dog, if I have a
dog. My dear follow mumbling, breaking,
