Old-Time Radio (OTR) horror anthology featuring CBS Radio Mystery Theater, Escape, Lights Out, Murder at Midnight, Suspense, and The Whistler—six restored classics in one episode for fans of vintage radio drama, noir thrillers, and classic horror stories.
Gather close, my dear. The dial warms, the room cools, and the old ghosts speak.

  • ⚖️ Guilty as Charged (CBS Radio Mystery Theater, by G. Frederick Lewis) — A wrongful accusation tightens like a noose as the justice system hisses for blood.
  • 💰🌊 Seeds of Greed (Escape, by Freud A. Nelson) — Treasure glitters; conscience drowns. On a small ship, fortune names its price.
  • 🕷️ Spider (Lights Out) — A carnival of nerves and a creature with too many eyes; some webs are spun from human hunger.
  • 🍷💀 Death’s Goblet (Murder at Midnight, by Sigmund Miller) — A cursed cup passes from hand to hand, and every toast is a tally.
  • 🔪 Two Sharp Knives (Suspense, by Dashiell Hammett) — Small-town secrets, hardboiled logic, and a blade-clean cut to the truth.
  • 🕯️ Dark Pattern(s) (The Whistler) — Motives woven like lace in shadow; the narrator knows what you did… and why.
Keep the lights low, but not out. Some shapes look back when you stare too long.

1
00:00:09.279 --> 00:00:14.359
The witching season. It's here, my dear, and so are you.

2
00:00:15.119 --> 00:00:15.679
How are you?

3
00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:17.079
Oh?

4
00:00:17.120 --> 00:00:19.960
Good, good, good good. I'm so glad to hear that.

5
00:00:21.039 --> 00:00:27.800
Why I am very well, positively jubilant. This is the

6
00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:34.479
time of year when I am most free. To you, well,

7
00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:38.840
it's hard to express exactly, but I can assure you

8
00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:43.920
you have nothing to be worried about, not at all.

9
00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:49.960
I know, I know I'm being a bit cryptic, a

10
00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:55.920
bit obtuse. I suppose I am just an odd, odd duck.

11
00:00:57.159 --> 00:00:59.920
But the truth is, if someone were to call me

12
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:05.879
an odd duck, well I would say guilty as charged.

13
00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:32.599
PBS Radio Mystery Theater presents come in and welcome. I'm

14
00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:36.840
Tammy Grimes. To me, the nightmare of all time is

15
00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:40.359
to be accused of a crime I didn't commit. One

16
00:01:40.439 --> 00:01:45.040
keeps reading a tons of lookalike falsely identified of men.

17
00:01:44.959 --> 00:01:47.079
Serving time for offenses.

18
00:01:46.599 --> 00:01:50.560
They had no part in, some too poor to protest legally,

19
00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:55.239
some spending a lifetime behind prison walls, and some even

20
00:01:55.359 --> 00:01:59.599
dying there and recognized unforgiven.

21
00:01:59.799 --> 00:02:01.519
And able to clear their names.

22
00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:07.280
Our story comes perilously close to such tragedy, too close.

23
00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:08.400
In fact for comfort.

24
00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:12.159
Time's huh you raise the bail money for your husband,

25
00:02:12.199 --> 00:02:13.080
Missus Fowler.

26
00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:15.879
Officer, we just don't have it, and there's no one

27
00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:18.360
we can get it from. Is there any way of

28
00:02:18.439 --> 00:02:21.360
letting Jean come home for the night. He's never been

29
00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:22.240
in jail before.

30
00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:25.560
No, there Isn't you want my advice, Missus Fowler, You

31
00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:28.199
go home and get yourself the best lawyer you can find.

32
00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:32.639
Your husband's in plenty of trouble. Armed robber is no picnic.

33
00:02:32.759 --> 00:02:43.560
But Jean didn't do it, That's what they all say.

34
00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:48.800
Our mystery drama, Gaiety Is Charged is written especially for

35
00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:52.639
the mystery theater by Jeeves Frederick Louis. It stars Michael

36
00:02:52.719 --> 00:03:17.919
tonin I shall return shortly with that one. Our curtain

37
00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:22.800
rises on a bucolic scene a fall day. Red and

38
00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:28.599
golden leaves cascade upon dirt roads and parkway along one

39
00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:33.360
of these strips of concrete. Gene Powler hardware salesman comes

40
00:03:33.479 --> 00:03:35.840
barreling along at sixty miles an hour.

41
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:38.560
It's been a long trip this time.

42
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:39.680
And he's almost home.

43
00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:43.120
Suddenly he hears a sound that makes him look up

44
00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:44.240
into his way view.

45
00:03:44.199 --> 00:03:52.800
Near Oh gone, Oh gone it.

46
00:03:54.719 --> 00:03:57.240
Hi, I guess I was speeding. Huh, take a look

47
00:03:57.280 --> 00:03:59.840
at the scope. Sixty two miles an hour and thirty

48
00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:03.199
mile an hours. Wrong, this parkway is thirty five miles

49
00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:05.759
an hour. That's what SHN says. Oh my lord, it

50
00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:08.719
must be the only parkway in the USA under thirty five.

51
00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:11.000
I come along here all the time. When did they

52
00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:11.439
change it?

53
00:04:11.479 --> 00:04:13.719
It's been thirty five miles an hour over the last

54
00:04:13.759 --> 00:04:16.600
ten years. Driver's license and registration.

55
00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:23.319
Please, Jane, it was a disaster. Even this morning. I

56
00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:24.120
can't get over it.

57
00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:27.839
Ninety dollars fine plus ten for some don surcharge one

58
00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:28.959
hundred bucks.

59
00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:32.040
Do you remember when we were first married, Jean, and

60
00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:34.199
I'd go on the road with you. You remember how

61
00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:36.319
you used to kidney because I wouldn't let your speed

62
00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:37.319
from now you know?

63
00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:40.399
Oh okay, I thought I could take it easy this morning.

64
00:04:40.519 --> 00:04:41.199
I'll answered you.

65
00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:45.600
Hello, Yes, this is she.

66
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:49.000
Yeah, he's right here. You want to talk to him, Okay,

67
00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:52.639
I'll tell him. Listen, officer. Don't you think one hundred

68
00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:54.319
dollars for a speeding ticket.

69
00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:54.560
Is the limit?

70
00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:55.000
Who is it?

71
00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:55.319
Jane?

72
00:04:55.399 --> 00:04:55.600
Well?

73
00:04:55.680 --> 00:04:57.879
I do? I think it's absorbitant.

74
00:04:58.040 --> 00:04:58.120
Ye.

75
00:04:58.120 --> 00:04:58.959
Who's on the phone.

76
00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:04.000
It's the police? Yes, yes, of course he will. Well,

77
00:05:04.040 --> 00:05:07.959
I still think it's outlandish air, right, officer, I'll tell

78
00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:13.399
him the police. He wants you to stop by the station.

79
00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:14.839
Huh, I'll be done.

80
00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:18.439
They get your license, your registration, proof of insurance and

81
00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:19.439
still that's not enough.

82
00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:21.519
Well, at least it's not the other end of town.

83
00:05:21.839 --> 00:05:24.319
Well, I'm not looking forward to seeing those clowns again.

84
00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:26.399
When do they want to see me?

85
00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:29.720
Well this morning, the officer said, Ah, well.

86
00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:30.839
I might as well do it now and get it

87
00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:34.360
over with. Some way to celebrate the first day I

88
00:05:34.399 --> 00:05:43.000
get home. Yes, officer, my name is Jim Fowler. Someone

89
00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:44.600
called me at home and asked me to come over

90
00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:45.439
to the police station.

91
00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:47.560
Is it about the speeding ticket?

92
00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:48.360
Jack?

93
00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:50.480
I think this is the man you're looking for.

94
00:05:50.920 --> 00:05:51.920
Somebody wants to see me.

95
00:05:51.959 --> 00:05:55.079
I'll turn around. Just stand facing the desk and put

96
00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:59.920
your arms behind your back. Hey, hold your risk closure together. Hey,

97
00:06:01.439 --> 00:06:02.360
stay right there, and no.

98
00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:04.439
Why are you putting handcuffs on me?

99
00:06:05.079 --> 00:06:07.560
What are you doing making sure you're not carrying a gun?

100
00:06:07.879 --> 00:06:08.439
Is he clean?

101
00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:11.480
Yeah? Write it down on the sheet. You can turn

102
00:06:11.519 --> 00:06:12.040
around now.

103
00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:13.199
Mister Fothera or.

104
00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:15.720
Somebody please tell me what this is all about. What

105
00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:19.120
did I do if father? You're under arrest for armed robbery?

106
00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:21.360
What?

107
00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:23.639
What are the charges against me? What did I do

108
00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:24.680
this armed robbery?

109
00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:27.120
You held up a hardware store and platt Thrill on

110
00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:29.600
September of the age robbed the young woman cashire a

111
00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:31.079
gun point one hundred and fifty dollars.

112
00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:31.959
That's not possible.

113
00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:35.439
I wasn't anywhere near Plattsville on September the eighth. I

114
00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:37.720
was on the road selling and what are yourselves, sir?

115
00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:38.439
Hardware?

116
00:06:39.160 --> 00:06:39.399
Look?

117
00:06:39.399 --> 00:06:41.959
How come I'm accused of this hold up? Your photograph

118
00:06:42.079 --> 00:06:43.879
was submitted to the young woman who was robbed.

119
00:06:43.879 --> 00:06:44.879
What photograph?

120
00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:47.759
I've never been photographed by the police in my life.

121
00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:51.800
Copies of all motorists photos registered in the state around file.

122
00:06:52.519 --> 00:06:55.480
We assembled fifteen of them, according to Age Building hight

123
00:06:56.279 --> 00:06:58.120
Yours was picked out by the young woman.

124
00:06:58.000 --> 00:06:58.680
Who was robbed.

125
00:06:59.160 --> 00:07:00.800
She identified by my picture.

126
00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:05.279
There'll be a lineup for corroboration. She was sure, definitely,

127
00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:09.879
quite definite in their identifications. It's probably coming along with me.

128
00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:10.600
Take it to me.

129
00:07:10.680 --> 00:07:13.480
Fingerprinted. Hey, wait a minute, can I make one phone call?

130
00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:16.000
I have to call my wife after they have been

131
00:07:16.040 --> 00:07:17.240
a finger printed and book.

132
00:07:23.079 --> 00:07:27.160
I can't understand it. Jeane on robbery, How can they

133
00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:29.279
say that you've never even owned a god.

134
00:07:29.399 --> 00:07:31.160
I wouldn't know how to fire if I had one.

135
00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:34.279
Well, it's just incredible. I don't understand any of it.

136
00:07:34.439 --> 00:07:35.199
Do you think I do?

137
00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:38.199
How can they say on robbery you were out of

138
00:07:38.279 --> 00:07:41.920
town selling it like it is true?

139
00:07:42.079 --> 00:07:42.680
Is this look?

140
00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:46.000
A cashier identified me from a photograph.

141
00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:49.199
Listen, Jane. The main thing is I gotta raise bail.

142
00:07:49.319 --> 00:07:53.000
I know that, Darling. I've called every bail bondsman in

143
00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:55.680
the phone book, but no one answers. Nobody picks up

144
00:07:55.720 --> 00:07:56.199
the phone.

145
00:07:56.560 --> 00:07:59.240
It's after six. That's why they're all closed.

146
00:07:58.839 --> 00:07:59.279
For the day.

147
00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:01.279
Do you think maybe if I talk to the officer

148
00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:03.680
and charge to the one called Jack and explain it.

149
00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:06.839
Maybe you could call mom and dad. I mean, they'd

150
00:08:06.879 --> 00:08:09.120
only be lending us the money. It's just in case

151
00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:10.079
I try to skip down.

152
00:08:10.319 --> 00:08:12.839
I thought of that, but they're not here. They went

153
00:08:12.920 --> 00:08:15.759
to visit Philica. They're on a train somewhere out west

154
00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:16.519
of the Rockies.

155
00:08:17.279 --> 00:08:20.000
Well that's it, then, I'm not going to get out

156
00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:20.240
of here.

157
00:08:20.519 --> 00:08:21.120
Time is up.

158
00:08:21.480 --> 00:08:22.560
You're raising bail, missus.

159
00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:25.639
Paller, officer. We just don't have it, and there's no

160
00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:28.319
one we can get it. From. Is there any way

161
00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:30.920
of letting Jean come home for the night. I mean,

162
00:08:30.959 --> 00:08:32.720
he's never been in jail before.

163
00:08:32.879 --> 00:08:36.320
I whear not. You want my advice, missus Fawler, You

164
00:08:36.440 --> 00:08:38.919
go home and get yourself the best lawyer you can find.

165
00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:41.480
Your husband's in plenty of trouble, but.

166
00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:43.080
He's done nothing. He's innocent.

167
00:08:43.320 --> 00:08:46.080
That's what they all say. How your time is up.

168
00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:47.000
You'll have to leave now.

169
00:08:47.360 --> 00:08:49.600
You have no proof of anything.

170
00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:53.240
Yet I don't make the rules, ma'am. No bail means jail.

171
00:08:53.840 --> 00:08:56.840
Saying he's right, so I spend the night here won't

172
00:08:56.919 --> 00:09:00.559
kill me. Look what about Sam Stratt, who run up

173
00:09:00.600 --> 00:09:02.799
both our wills. He's a good lawyer and he knows

174
00:09:02.840 --> 00:09:03.360
your folks.

175
00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:04.759
We liked him.

176
00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:08.440
See if you can reach him, tell him everything. Tell

177
00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:14.240
him I'm in jail for somebody else. Wait, wait, hold,

178
00:09:14.279 --> 00:09:17.480
it's Sam. Before we go in. You got to be kidding.

179
00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:19.759
Is this what you got me out of bail for

180
00:09:19.919 --> 00:09:23.080
to bring me here? Look when you said you saw

181
00:09:23.120 --> 00:09:25.240
a way to build a case for me, I didn't

182
00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:27.120
know you meant for me to take a ride Detective

183
00:09:27.159 --> 00:09:30.679
test I'm not a liar, Geene. Nobody said that, So

184
00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:32.559
why don't we need a test to prove I'm telling

185
00:09:32.600 --> 00:09:36.360
the truth? I mean why now wait one minute. You

186
00:09:36.440 --> 00:09:39.720
need all the ammunition you can get. Now. Dave Clark

187
00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:42.080
is a polygraph expert. I thought we could come and

188
00:09:42.080 --> 00:09:44.559
see him, and he agreed. And this is the place

189
00:09:44.600 --> 00:09:46.799
where he works. Look, David's an old friend. He gets

190
00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:50.639
calls from all over the world for his services, polygraph machines,

191
00:09:51.000 --> 00:09:52.559
cape recorders.

192
00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:53.120
Everything he uses.

193
00:09:53.600 --> 00:09:55.639
Now, this isn't some fly by night pie in the

194
00:09:55.639 --> 00:09:59.399
sky business. This is real and it works. Now do

195
00:09:59.480 --> 00:09:59.960
I ring the bell?

196
00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:06.080
All right? It'll do a lot to establish your credibility.

197
00:10:06.240 --> 00:10:07.080
Doesn't the fact that.

198
00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:09.080
A man is innocent mean anything anymore?

199
00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:10.600
It's up to us to prove it.

200
00:10:10.639 --> 00:10:14.440
Oh, I see guilty as charged until I prove myself innocent,

201
00:10:14.759 --> 00:10:15.759
not the other way around.

202
00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:21.639
Sam, Is this mister Fowler? Come in? Please?

203
00:10:21.639 --> 00:10:21.879
Hello?

204
00:10:21.960 --> 00:10:22.240
David?

205
00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:25.480
You look fine and he's been busy. The rights of

206
00:10:25.480 --> 00:10:29.039
the innocent never stopped. Walk right through to the examining room.

207
00:10:30.159 --> 00:10:33.759
Is that the gizmo, the light detector. It's all there

208
00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:36.159
is to it, David. I'd appreciate it if you'd plude

209
00:10:36.200 --> 00:10:39.799
Genie as to how the polygraph works. Ah, certainly. This

210
00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:43.519
control box is portable. The knobs are controls, and there

211
00:10:43.559 --> 00:10:44.440
are four pens.

212
00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:46.679
See there, Uh huh.

213
00:10:46.799 --> 00:10:49.679
They record on the moving graph paper as a subject

214
00:10:49.720 --> 00:10:53.600
response to the questions. Two of the pens monitor respiration,

215
00:10:54.320 --> 00:10:59.039
the third pulse reaction, and the fourth what we call galvanic.

216
00:10:58.600 --> 00:11:00.279
Skin responses, Gane.

217
00:11:00.279 --> 00:11:03.440
The temperature of a person's skin changes if they're under

218
00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:06.840
emotional stress. Look, if I decide to take a chance

219
00:11:06.879 --> 00:11:09.159
with this thing, can we do it right now?

220
00:11:10.120 --> 00:11:10.200
Not?

221
00:11:10.399 --> 00:11:12.879
Really? Yeah, you see, I need time.

222
00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:15.720
First of all. I'll need to know directly from you

223
00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:17.840
what are the facts of the case as you see you.

224
00:11:18.759 --> 00:11:21.759
I need that to prepare my questions. Then I interview

225
00:11:21.799 --> 00:11:24.919
you in that chair. If you permit, we different corner.

226
00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:26.919
You're in the best of hands of the day. Believe me,

227
00:11:27.480 --> 00:11:28.879
it's all standard procedure.

228
00:11:29.159 --> 00:11:29.639
I don't know.

229
00:11:29.840 --> 00:11:32.279
I'm in two minds about this. There's a lot I

230
00:11:32.279 --> 00:11:35.399
don't like. I don't like where you sit. You're in

231
00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:38.879
back of me asking questions. I don't like the wires. Well,

232
00:11:38.960 --> 00:11:41.279
the wires with the rings are placed over your fingers

233
00:11:41.279 --> 00:11:42.360
to measure the responses.

234
00:11:42.519 --> 00:11:45.759
Yeah, let me think it over, Geane.

235
00:11:45.799 --> 00:11:48.000
It doesn't do any good unless you're completely convinced that

236
00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:49.480
this procedure can help clear you.

237
00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:53.240
How many questions? I mean, I can't sit here for hours.

238
00:11:53.080 --> 00:11:55.440
There'll be five key questions, that's all.

239
00:11:56.080 --> 00:11:59.879
And how accurate is this polygraph? Well it could be

240
00:12:00.000 --> 00:12:02.159
anywhere from seventy five to ninety percent.

241
00:12:02.320 --> 00:12:05.399
Right, it depends, David. I hope I haven't wasted your time.

242
00:12:06.080 --> 00:12:07.720
You and I know that this is one of the

243
00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:10.559
few aces we have in our hand, But it's up

244
00:12:10.600 --> 00:12:13.279
to Jean to decide if he wants to play this hand.

245
00:12:18.759 --> 00:12:22.039
Mom, Dad, Yes, yes on the extinction.

246
00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:24.960
Well, thanks to you both for getting up that veil bond.

247
00:12:25.440 --> 00:12:28.759
I'm home with Jane. It's been a crazy ten days.

248
00:12:28.919 --> 00:12:31.039
We believe you know.

249
00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:34.240
I spent three nights in a terrible jail. We have

250
00:12:34.320 --> 00:12:35.240
this lawyer who got me.

251
00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:36.559
Out on a promise to the court.

252
00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:39.039
But it was you who put up the ten percent

253
00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:42.200
cash down payment for the bond. We can't tell you

254
00:12:42.240 --> 00:12:43.480
how much it's meant to Jane and me.

255
00:12:43.960 --> 00:12:46.639
If you need chess course.

256
00:12:46.519 --> 00:12:47.120
Thanks Mom.

257
00:12:48.039 --> 00:12:51.519
Listen, I had a polygraph test too. Watch that a

258
00:12:51.600 --> 00:12:55.000
light detector. I did, Okay, A lawyer set it up.

259
00:12:55.960 --> 00:12:58.879
I was nervous, but but Jane wasn't at all. Is

260
00:12:59.039 --> 00:13:04.360
Jane fantastic? She's been fantastic. I mean it's been like

261
00:13:04.600 --> 00:13:08.240
Hitler's Germany. You don't have any say in anything. I

262
00:13:08.320 --> 00:13:11.559
was identified as an armed robber and that was it done.

263
00:13:11.679 --> 00:13:13.600
Is here he wants to talk to you.

264
00:13:13.720 --> 00:13:16.279
Mom, Dad, our lawyer is here. So I'm gonna have

265
00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:20.240
to ring off. I'll call you again, Mom. I love you.

266
00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:21.639
I'll be talking to you.

267
00:13:21.879 --> 00:13:22.480
We love you.

268
00:13:22.600 --> 00:13:26.240
To bye.

269
00:13:27.279 --> 00:13:27.559
Jane.

270
00:13:27.759 --> 00:13:28.720
Did he say what he wanted?

271
00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:31.320
It's offing late, Oh, Geane. I'm sorry about the hour,

272
00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:34.519
but I wanted you to know right away. David has

273
00:13:34.519 --> 00:13:36.879
been looking over the grass again and he's not as

274
00:13:37.000 --> 00:13:38.960
positive as he was when we left him.

275
00:13:39.399 --> 00:13:40.080
What does that mean?

276
00:13:40.440 --> 00:13:44.919
Well, you'd take at least two more tests that on

277
00:13:44.960 --> 00:13:47.840
the basis of what he has. If he were asked

278
00:13:47.840 --> 00:13:50.080
for his testimony tomorrow, he'd have to say that it

279
00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:51.399
was inconclusive.

280
00:13:51.879 --> 00:13:53.559
You mean he's not sure I was telling the truth.

281
00:13:53.720 --> 00:13:54.840
That's what it means.

282
00:13:55.440 --> 00:13:57.240
So I think the best thing is to hold down

283
00:13:57.279 --> 00:14:00.639
there tomorrow and try again. Heck with it, I say, no,

284
00:14:00.799 --> 00:14:03.840
I'm not going to It's asking too much of an

285
00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:08.240
innocent man to make him go on proving himself nothing doing.

286
00:14:14.440 --> 00:14:18.840
The polygraph operates on the principle the conscious deception triggers

287
00:14:18.840 --> 00:14:23.320
the sympathetic nervous system. As a result, there's a higher

288
00:14:23.360 --> 00:14:29.240
pulse rate, increased blood pressure and breathing and skin resystems. However,

289
00:14:29.879 --> 00:14:33.039
there is still a wide latitude between the technical and

290
00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:38.759
the technique. Crucial is how well the examiner handles his subject.

291
00:14:39.720 --> 00:15:04.440
I shall return shortly with Act two. Jean Fowler, accused

292
00:15:04.480 --> 00:15:08.120
of armed rubbery, as taking a polygraph test to prove

293
00:15:08.200 --> 00:15:12.799
he is not lying. However, the first examination was inconclusive.

294
00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:17.200
His attorney, Sam Strauss, tries to make Gene understand he

295
00:15:17.279 --> 00:15:20.440
needs valid scientific evidence to counter.

296
00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:22.919
Eyewritteness identification and the.

297
00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:25.559
Only hope he has so far is to get a

298
00:15:25.600 --> 00:15:27.919
clean bill of health from the lie detector.

299
00:15:28.639 --> 00:15:30.600
Jane, will you talk to your husband, try to make

300
00:15:30.679 --> 00:15:31.200
him understand.

301
00:15:31.320 --> 00:15:32.200
I understand enough.

302
00:15:32.279 --> 00:15:33.840
That's it. I've had it.

303
00:15:33.919 --> 00:15:36.519
When he's stubborn like this, there's very little I can

304
00:15:36.559 --> 00:15:37.200
do or say.

305
00:15:37.320 --> 00:15:39.440
Let's go to trial. I don't see how what you

306
00:15:39.559 --> 00:15:43.000
go against me. The eyewitness is lying. I'll be cleared.

307
00:15:43.039 --> 00:15:43.440
You'll see.

308
00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:45.600
I've handled a lot of cases in my time, and

309
00:15:45.679 --> 00:15:48.039
I can tell you that I have seen innocent men

310
00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:51.240
who today are serving time just because they appear to

311
00:15:51.279 --> 00:15:51.879
be the criminal.

312
00:15:51.919 --> 00:15:52.759
I'll be sensible.

313
00:15:53.720 --> 00:15:56.840
The polygraph results won't be accepted one hundred percent, but

314
00:15:56.960 --> 00:15:57.759
it'll help a lot.

315
00:15:58.960 --> 00:15:59.240
Gene.

316
00:15:59.240 --> 00:16:01.519
I tell you it's very, very important. What did Clarke

317
00:16:01.639 --> 00:16:05.559
mean inconclusive fifty to fifty? Probably? Well, then why woonn't

318
00:16:05.600 --> 00:16:07.039
the court take that into consideration.

319
00:16:07.799 --> 00:16:10.360
They don't have one hundred percent case against me. If

320
00:16:10.399 --> 00:16:11.519
fifty percent says I.

321
00:16:11.559 --> 00:16:16.960
Wasn't there Isn't that beyond reasonable doubt? No, not, so

322
00:16:17.080 --> 00:16:20.120
long as there is an eye would eyewitnessed my fourteen

323
00:16:20.320 --> 00:16:23.120
Please now, the cashier at the hardwarest or swore up

324
00:16:23.120 --> 00:16:25.480
and down it was you who robbed her. And unless

325
00:16:25.480 --> 00:16:28.759
we have one hundred percent refutation from the polygraph, her

326
00:16:28.919 --> 00:16:36.000
word is enough to convict you. Sam, what happened to

327
00:16:36.039 --> 00:16:37.919
the client of yours was going to come back for

328
00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:40.440
another test. You think a man accused of armed robbery

329
00:16:40.440 --> 00:16:41.240
would do everything he.

330
00:16:41.159 --> 00:16:42.279
Could to clear himself.

331
00:16:42.960 --> 00:16:44.840
I got a postponement till the middle of October to

332
00:16:44.879 --> 00:16:46.840
try to round up witnesses to swear to where he

333
00:16:46.960 --> 00:16:48.559
was on that September of the eighth but so far,

334
00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:49.039
no luck.

335
00:16:49.279 --> 00:16:51.519
Nobody saw him? Or where does he say he was

336
00:16:51.600 --> 00:16:52.720
four miles.

337
00:16:52.360 --> 00:16:54.639
Away from Plattsville? The seam of the hold up only

338
00:16:54.679 --> 00:16:57.399
four miles. Ah, that's not very much, and he can't

339
00:16:57.399 --> 00:17:00.759
even prove that. I've got to find a witness. Now,

340
00:17:00.799 --> 00:17:03.399
my client tells hardware, he takes samples from the distributor

341
00:17:03.399 --> 00:17:06.119
to the stores. Now it was at night. Did he

342
00:17:06.160 --> 00:17:08.480
stop at a diner? If he did, who saw him,

343
00:17:08.519 --> 00:17:11.640
who remembers him? And even if I located someone? How

344
00:17:11.680 --> 00:17:12.759
reliable is a witness?

345
00:17:12.799 --> 00:17:13.119
Anyway?

346
00:17:13.240 --> 00:17:16.400
I agree, And if I get the accusing eyewitness on

347
00:17:16.440 --> 00:17:20.000
the stand, it will be practically impossible to break her down.

348
00:17:20.240 --> 00:17:22.960
When they are the victim, they don't budge. All I

349
00:17:23.000 --> 00:17:26.559
can advise is keep working on follow Dave. When you

350
00:17:26.599 --> 00:17:30.200
were testing him, you thought he was innocent. Well, intuitively

351
00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:34.519
I did, but I was only guessing. A polygraph doesn't guess.

352
00:17:35.519 --> 00:17:43.680
It knows. It's easy for an attorney when you have

353
00:17:43.759 --> 00:17:47.680
both the law and your client to convince. In this case,

354
00:17:47.720 --> 00:17:50.880
I knew another test was essential. How to get this

355
00:17:50.960 --> 00:17:53.000
across the gene foller that.

356
00:17:53.039 --> 00:17:53.599
I didn't know.

357
00:17:54.880 --> 00:17:58.440
Then one night at his house, trouble struck with a

358
00:17:58.480 --> 00:18:02.279
Capital t Jane. Jane was at the front door.

359
00:18:02.640 --> 00:18:07.079
There's a state trooper here. Oh, now, what a state trooper?

360
00:18:07.200 --> 00:18:10.680
You know, the ones with the big hats. He just said,

361
00:18:11.039 --> 00:18:13.799
is your husband, mister Jean Fowler? And I said yes?

362
00:18:14.480 --> 00:18:17.359
Is he at home? And I said yes? And he said,

363
00:18:17.720 --> 00:18:19.079
may I talk to him? Please?

364
00:18:19.720 --> 00:18:23.480
Ah, okay, I might as well see what he wants.

365
00:18:24.200 --> 00:18:28.759
I'll go talk to him, mister Fowler. I'm a state trooper, Carson.

366
00:18:29.000 --> 00:18:30.359
May I come in?

367
00:18:31.440 --> 00:18:31.880
I guess so.

368
00:18:33.440 --> 00:18:36.759
I have an inquiry here in the description of a

369
00:18:36.799 --> 00:18:37.759
certain party.

370
00:18:38.720 --> 00:18:41.119
We'd like to verify whether the description.

371
00:18:40.920 --> 00:18:42.720
Fits you, their fits me?

372
00:18:43.799 --> 00:18:43.920
Well?

373
00:18:43.920 --> 00:18:46.640
Why me? Well, as I look at you now, sir,

374
00:18:46.759 --> 00:18:48.920
I would say it certainly as possible.

375
00:18:50.640 --> 00:18:52.680
How tall are you, sir?

376
00:18:54.279 --> 00:18:55.079
Five foot nine?

377
00:18:55.319 --> 00:18:55.599
Jeane?

378
00:18:56.119 --> 00:18:59.319
You always wear your hair like that in a crew cut?

379
00:18:59.440 --> 00:18:59.599
Yeah?

380
00:18:59.720 --> 00:19:00.640
Sure, Jane.

381
00:19:00.720 --> 00:19:02.000
Can I see you for a minute?

382
00:19:02.559 --> 00:19:05.559
Excuse me, my wife, Jean, Jeane.

383
00:19:05.559 --> 00:19:07.680
Do you think you ought to be answering those questions

384
00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:08.559
without standing?

385
00:19:08.680 --> 00:19:11.000
He's only asking me how I look. You can see that.

386
00:19:11.920 --> 00:19:14.880
It's okay. Maybe this will help. Come come with me.

387
00:19:16.440 --> 00:19:18.839
But there's no reason why missus Fowler can't stand here

388
00:19:18.880 --> 00:19:19.200
with me.

389
00:19:19.920 --> 00:19:21.000
Well, I don't see why not.

390
00:19:21.720 --> 00:19:23.799
My wife was just wondering if I should answer your

391
00:19:23.920 --> 00:19:27.559
questions without our attorney present. We've had so much trouble

392
00:19:27.640 --> 00:19:31.440
lightly well, I can understand, mister Fowler. Would you mind

393
00:19:31.559 --> 00:19:34.319
very much on doing your tie and opening your collar?

394
00:19:35.240 --> 00:19:35.480
Yes?

395
00:19:35.559 --> 00:19:39.359
I would what for? Well, just to verify the information

396
00:19:39.400 --> 00:19:42.279
they've given me. I certainly can't forge you.

397
00:19:42.319 --> 00:19:46.039
But on the other hand, if you've nothing to hide, why.

398
00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:51.799
Not, Well, I don't mind opening my collar. How's that

399
00:19:51.799 --> 00:19:52.200
that opened?

400
00:19:52.240 --> 00:19:52.759
Father enough?

401
00:19:54.079 --> 00:19:57.160
I notice you have a mole. Would you say that's

402
00:19:57.160 --> 00:20:00.440
about three inches below your chin. I've had that mall

403
00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:02.240
all my life. I'd never measured it.

404
00:20:02.519 --> 00:20:03.960
I'd say about three inches.

405
00:20:05.000 --> 00:20:09.759
Yeah, huh, that's all, mister Fowler. I appreciate the time

406
00:20:09.799 --> 00:20:14.319
you give it. Trooper Carsons, Yes, ma'am. Can you tell

407
00:20:14.400 --> 00:20:17.240
us what all this is about? I guess there's no

408
00:20:17.359 --> 00:20:19.799
harm in letting you win on it. Let me know

409
00:20:19.880 --> 00:20:22.960
to'll find you in due time. Who will your local police?

410
00:20:24.000 --> 00:20:26.400
There was a robbery and a kidnapping up our way,

411
00:20:26.440 --> 00:20:29.160
and a young woman was robbed and forced to accompany

412
00:20:29.160 --> 00:20:31.519
the perpetrator at the point of a gun.

413
00:20:31.720 --> 00:20:33.960
But my husband's got nothing to do with that.

414
00:20:34.400 --> 00:20:36.519
I wouldn't try to leave town if I were you.

415
00:20:37.759 --> 00:20:40.920
The description of the gunman fits mister Fowler very closely,

416
00:20:42.200 --> 00:20:44.079
right down to the mole on his neck.

417
00:20:50.599 --> 00:20:52.079
Sam, it gets worse and worse.

418
00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:53.240
What do we do?

419
00:20:53.519 --> 00:20:53.559
It?

420
00:20:53.759 --> 00:20:56.119
Is this every crime? It's traced to rob door?

421
00:20:56.319 --> 00:20:56.519
Jay?

422
00:20:56.599 --> 00:20:57.960
Let me explain, James, right?

423
00:20:58.039 --> 00:20:58.640
What is this?

424
00:20:59.160 --> 00:21:00.680
Does every hold up and look like me?

425
00:21:01.599 --> 00:21:03.640
Don't I have some rights? I was going to say that,

426
00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:04.079
I'll get.

427
00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:05.240
In touch with the state police.

428
00:21:05.559 --> 00:21:07.200
I haven't been formerly charged.

429
00:21:06.960 --> 00:21:09.079
With anything yet, have you? He didn't tell us a thing,

430
00:21:09.599 --> 00:21:12.920
not where it happened to win just up our way?

431
00:21:13.160 --> 00:21:16.079
All right, don't excite yourself. I think maybe you're beginning

432
00:21:16.119 --> 00:21:19.000
to realize why another polygraph test could help you. If

433
00:21:19.039 --> 00:21:21.319
I didn't, would we be driving to David Clark's house

434
00:21:21.400 --> 00:21:25.519
right now? Jeanet's the big white house right here, right here, Hayes.

435
00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:28.920
I'm sorry I hit the brakes like that. I guess

436
00:21:28.920 --> 00:21:29.440
I'm nervous.

437
00:21:29.559 --> 00:21:30.960
There's nothing to be nervous about.

438
00:21:31.079 --> 00:21:33.400
Sam. Should I wait in the car? I don't want

439
00:21:33.400 --> 00:21:34.000
to be in the way.

440
00:21:34.119 --> 00:21:36.319
You won't be You won't even be allowed in the

441
00:21:36.400 --> 00:21:36.880
room with me.

442
00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:40.480
Nobody is. I don't like that either, Jane, there.

443
00:21:40.359 --> 00:21:41.960
Are some magazines that you can read, and you and

444
00:21:42.000 --> 00:21:42.559
I will set up.

445
00:21:42.839 --> 00:21:43.759
I brought my knitting.

446
00:21:44.279 --> 00:21:47.079
I'll get through fast now that I know the routine.

447
00:21:47.240 --> 00:21:49.319
The actual test is only a couple of questions. Is

448
00:21:49.359 --> 00:21:52.359
that so five key questions or the limit only?

449
00:21:52.519 --> 00:21:52.839
Fine?

450
00:21:52.960 --> 00:21:55.519
That's the way it is. David told me they do

451
00:21:55.559 --> 00:21:57.240
it all that way all the examiners.

452
00:21:57.319 --> 00:22:01.079
Are you ready, Jeene? Yeah, Jane.

453
00:22:01.200 --> 00:22:03.359
If I never really believed in the value of the

454
00:22:03.480 --> 00:22:14.240
total truth, I sure do. Now let's go, Gene. I

455
00:22:14.279 --> 00:22:17.319
think you were distracted last time. You know, the ideal

456
00:22:17.359 --> 00:22:19.720
place to conduct a polygraph test would be a sound

457
00:22:19.759 --> 00:22:23.160
proof room without windows, nothing on the walls, very little furniture,

458
00:22:23.599 --> 00:22:26.920
no pattern on the carpet. Yeah, bare and scary. Oh

459
00:22:26.960 --> 00:22:31.880
I disagree. If it's bare, there's nothing to be frightened of. Okay,

460
00:22:31.920 --> 00:22:36.319
Now back to September when you got picked up for speeding.

461
00:22:36.799 --> 00:22:38.839
Then the next morning when you went to the police

462
00:22:38.839 --> 00:22:41.640
station and we're accused of armed robbery. What about the

463
00:22:41.680 --> 00:22:44.039
eighth of September. Don't you want me to go over

464
00:22:44.039 --> 00:22:46.200
that again? I mean, that's the time you want to

465
00:22:46.240 --> 00:22:48.880
know if I'm telling the truth about where I was

466
00:22:49.000 --> 00:22:49.240
or not.

467
00:22:49.519 --> 00:22:51.000
We'll get to that. Gene.

468
00:22:51.640 --> 00:22:53.920
Did Sam Tellia state troopers stop by the house.

469
00:22:54.759 --> 00:22:56.279
I'm being accused of another armed.

470
00:22:56.200 --> 00:22:59.119
Robbery, and again I was identified by my picture.

471
00:22:59.480 --> 00:22:59.839
I get this.

472
00:23:00.920 --> 00:23:02.759
The hold up man had a mole on his neck

473
00:23:02.880 --> 00:23:04.039
like mine.

474
00:23:04.240 --> 00:23:07.160
Boy, this bad dream gets worse and worse. I just

475
00:23:07.279 --> 00:23:11.000
try to calm yourself, Jeane, just stare at that blank

476
00:23:11.039 --> 00:23:16.799
wall and think, David, do you believe I'm innocent? Well,

477
00:23:16.799 --> 00:23:18.400
how can I say anything one way or the other.

478
00:23:19.440 --> 00:23:22.759
This is a scientific study. I can't say that.

479
00:23:22.839 --> 00:23:26.880
I hope yes, that The only responses you'll give are

480
00:23:26.880 --> 00:23:27.279
the truth.

481
00:23:27.440 --> 00:23:28.799
I try to do that last time.

482
00:23:28.920 --> 00:23:32.039
I'm sure you did, but the variables between your breathing

483
00:23:32.240 --> 00:23:35.759
hard and blood pressure and skin tension just didn't match up.

484
00:23:35.799 --> 00:23:38.839
And well, I too have to be truthful.

485
00:23:39.359 --> 00:23:42.240
You're right, I'm calming down.

486
00:23:42.839 --> 00:23:45.359
It's only I'm so anxious to convince everyone I'm not

487
00:23:45.400 --> 00:23:46.240
a hold up man.

488
00:23:47.799 --> 00:23:51.839
David, give me a break. Tell me that you do

489
00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:52.519
believe me.

490
00:23:54.279 --> 00:23:58.079
Okay, I do, But it's the machine you have to convince.

491
00:23:59.200 --> 00:24:01.000
The polygraph can prove it.

492
00:24:10.519 --> 00:24:14.799
Yes, Oh, hello, officer, is mister Powler at home?

493
00:24:15.519 --> 00:24:19.000
Is mister Fowler? Home? Is my husband?

494
00:24:19.119 --> 00:24:19.400
Home?

495
00:24:20.160 --> 00:24:22.640
Where do you think he'd be at seven o'clock in

496
00:24:22.680 --> 00:24:25.039
the morning out somewhere holding up a stone?

497
00:24:25.200 --> 00:24:26.920
Missus Fowler, I only ask he.

498
00:24:26.920 --> 00:24:30.640
May be upstairs getting dressed. Is that enough information for you?

499
00:24:30.759 --> 00:24:31.599
Two policemen?

500
00:24:31.680 --> 00:24:34.000
Would you mind calling him downstairs? We'd like to talk

501
00:24:34.039 --> 00:24:34.319
on him.

502
00:24:34.359 --> 00:24:37.759
Yes, I would mind, I would mind very much. Why

503
00:24:37.839 --> 00:24:40.400
what right do you police come barging in here at

504
00:24:40.400 --> 00:24:41.400
this hour of the morning.

505
00:24:41.519 --> 00:24:42.759
What's all the rackets down there?

506
00:24:42.960 --> 00:24:45.480
Would you come to the door, Jean, the secret police

507
00:24:45.519 --> 00:24:46.000
are here.

508
00:24:46.839 --> 00:24:51.039
High Officer Jack eu Jeene Fowler. You know me, Officer

509
00:24:51.079 --> 00:24:53.319
Drivers and I are taking into custody. We have a warrant.

510
00:24:53.359 --> 00:24:56.960
You're arrest You come with us police? Okay, what is

511
00:24:57.000 --> 00:24:59.640
it this time? I'm robbery kidnapping of a young woman

512
00:24:59.640 --> 00:25:03.000
from d young woman was taken across the state line.

513
00:25:03.559 --> 00:25:05.680
Is that the charge the state trooper came to see

514
00:25:05.680 --> 00:25:06.039
me about.

515
00:25:06.160 --> 00:25:07.000
I don't know about that.

516
00:25:07.039 --> 00:25:12.160
Muchcla never heard of such a thing. Accusations right and left.

517
00:25:12.599 --> 00:25:14.480
You think Jane was the only hold up man in

518
00:25:14.519 --> 00:25:15.480
the United States?

519
00:25:15.519 --> 00:25:18.880
Mammy fits the description says here he has an identifying

520
00:25:18.960 --> 00:25:19.839
mark on his throat.

521
00:25:19.960 --> 00:25:23.119
A thousand people have probably got molds on their throats.

522
00:25:23.160 --> 00:25:23.880
Maybe a million.

523
00:25:24.079 --> 00:25:24.839
Let's go, Palla.

524
00:25:25.000 --> 00:25:27.319
You're not taking Gene outside this cold weather in his

525
00:25:27.359 --> 00:25:28.519
pajamas as we are.

526
00:25:28.599 --> 00:25:31.240
Man, we have a car outside. You just try to

527
00:25:32.160 --> 00:25:32.559
do that.

528
00:25:33.240 --> 00:25:36.839
Go on, I dare you, Jean, Gene, you go upstairs

529
00:25:36.839 --> 00:25:38.079
this minute and put your clothes on.

530
00:25:38.440 --> 00:25:38.720
Ma'am.

531
00:25:38.759 --> 00:25:43.480
No, don't you, Mammy, Jean go upstairs, take it grade.

532
00:25:43.480 --> 00:25:45.839
One of us will have to go upstairs with your husband.

533
00:25:45.920 --> 00:25:49.079
I have never heard of such a thing. You're acting

534
00:25:49.079 --> 00:25:51.839
as if Jean were a hardened criminal whould run away

535
00:25:51.920 --> 00:25:53.480
or something. It's too much.

536
00:25:53.599 --> 00:25:56.799
I'm sorry, missus Fowler, but we have our orders and

537
00:25:56.920 --> 00:25:59.519
you don't take chances with a man who is under arrest.

538
00:26:05.200 --> 00:26:07.119
Hello, Mom, it's Jane.

539
00:26:07.799 --> 00:26:08.039
Mom.

540
00:26:08.079 --> 00:26:10.240
Would you put Dad on the extension so I can

541
00:26:10.279 --> 00:26:13.720
talk to both of you at the same time. Oh, hi, Dad,

542
00:26:14.240 --> 00:26:18.079
it's Janie. Listen Dad. Jeane is out of jail thanks

543
00:26:18.079 --> 00:26:21.079
to you. Now we can concentrate on getting the evidence

544
00:26:21.119 --> 00:26:24.599
to clearing. But yesterday he went to the main office

545
00:26:24.599 --> 00:26:27.480
in Stratton Town to ask if the hardware people would

546
00:26:27.599 --> 00:26:30.279
let him take on extra roots, because he hasn't made

547
00:26:30.279 --> 00:26:34.200
a sense since all this began. Anyway, he wanted to

548
00:26:34.240 --> 00:26:40.279
thank you. It meant freedom and we love you very much. Yes, Dad,

549
00:26:40.799 --> 00:26:42.720
I'll tell him just as soon as he gets back.

550
00:26:43.480 --> 00:26:50.839
Goodbye Dad, Bye. Mom? Oh is that you Jeane?

551
00:26:51.680 --> 00:26:52.039
Jeane?

552
00:26:52.559 --> 00:26:52.680
Oh?

553
00:26:52.960 --> 00:26:56.920
Gina, I was just on the phone talking to the folks. Jeane,

554
00:26:58.119 --> 00:27:00.079
what is it? What would the man.

555
00:27:01.519 --> 00:27:02.200
I got fired?

556
00:27:02.319 --> 00:27:02.799
Jane?

557
00:27:03.279 --> 00:27:03.599
Oh?

558
00:27:03.799 --> 00:27:03.960
No.

559
00:27:04.799 --> 00:27:08.160
I went into Green's office and he said, I'm glad

560
00:27:08.200 --> 00:27:11.039
you're here. Father saves me the trouble of getting in

561
00:27:11.079 --> 00:27:13.960
touch with our district manager. There's been a lot about

562
00:27:13.960 --> 00:27:15.400
you in the newspapers, you know that.

563
00:27:15.720 --> 00:27:16.880
Well, what did he mean?

564
00:27:17.119 --> 00:27:20.359
And he said, until this thing blows over, we don't

565
00:27:20.400 --> 00:27:21.319
want anyone to know.

566
00:27:21.240 --> 00:27:22.119
You worked for us.

567
00:27:22.440 --> 00:27:24.640
Didn't you tell him you were innocent? I mean that

568
00:27:24.680 --> 00:27:26.200
it's all a mistaken identity.

569
00:27:26.240 --> 00:27:29.480
He believes I'm innocent, But he said, you understand I

570
00:27:29.519 --> 00:27:31.480
have to protect the good name of our business and

571
00:27:31.519 --> 00:27:33.240
hardware is very competitive.

572
00:27:33.759 --> 00:27:37.720
Is this a leave of absence or what it's.

573
00:27:37.559 --> 00:27:41.599
The or what they gave me a severance paycheck? Or

574
00:27:41.599 --> 00:27:44.799
it isn't gonna last very long? I better tell Sam

575
00:27:45.119 --> 00:27:46.000
what can he do?

576
00:27:46.039 --> 00:27:48.720
He's still fighting the two cases that have him come

577
00:27:48.720 --> 00:27:49.160
to trial.

578
00:27:49.200 --> 00:27:51.240
I want him to know that I can't pay him

579
00:27:51.640 --> 00:27:55.480
that it's hopeless. I feel I've come to the end

580
00:27:55.519 --> 00:28:00.039
of everything. Why go on fighting in the air and

581
00:28:00.240 --> 00:28:02.960
I'm going to prison for somebody else's crime.

582
00:28:14.960 --> 00:28:17.119
We are brought up to believe that man will go

583
00:28:17.240 --> 00:28:20.079
on struggling against injustice to the bitter end.

584
00:28:20.640 --> 00:28:23.160
But it isn't so, not of everyone.

585
00:28:24.240 --> 00:28:28.079
There is strength and weakness, and Oliver, you can stretch

586
00:28:28.079 --> 00:28:31.039
a man's will just so far, and then, like a

587
00:28:31.119 --> 00:28:35.599
rubber band pulled beyond its endurance, he just cannot bounce back.

588
00:28:36.680 --> 00:29:01.000
I should return shortly with Actree. Search for truth is

589
00:29:01.039 --> 00:29:04.839
as old as the first lie, which probably predates Adam

590
00:29:04.960 --> 00:29:09.400
denying he ate the forbidden fruit. Today science points a

591
00:29:09.400 --> 00:29:10.920
pretty accurate finger.

592
00:29:10.640 --> 00:29:11.240
At the guilty.

593
00:29:12.240 --> 00:29:17.039
Yesterday, trials by ordeal were relied on suspects were forced

594
00:29:17.039 --> 00:29:20.960
to eat rice, carry white hot metal, were drowned, or

595
00:29:21.000 --> 00:29:25.240
subjected to such tests as engineered by King Solomon, who

596
00:29:25.359 --> 00:29:28.480
ordered half a child to give into each of two women,

597
00:29:28.559 --> 00:29:32.160
claiming it knowing full well the real mother would rather

598
00:29:32.200 --> 00:29:35.200
have her instant live than die. And it is this

599
00:29:35.400 --> 00:29:38.720
kind of living death that hangs over Jane and Jane

600
00:29:38.759 --> 00:29:40.440
Fowler as our curtain rises.

601
00:29:44.519 --> 00:29:46.200
When he told me there was no money to pay me.

602
00:29:46.279 --> 00:29:50.720
I told Gene it didn't matter. Justice did that. I'd

603
00:29:50.759 --> 00:29:54.480
stick it out until he was cleared. Charges of robberies

604
00:29:54.519 --> 00:29:58.480
came in with alarming speed. A total of six we

605
00:29:58.599 --> 00:30:01.920
fought every case. Four were dropped for lack of evidence,

606
00:30:02.000 --> 00:30:04.920
but the first two resulted in the two cashiers pointing

607
00:30:05.000 --> 00:30:08.240
Gane out in the lineup as the attacker, and he

608
00:30:08.359 --> 00:30:09.519
was bound over for trial.

609
00:30:10.680 --> 00:30:12.559
Jean, Jeane, is that you?

610
00:30:13.039 --> 00:30:15.720
Hey, Jane, we've got anything strong.

611
00:30:15.480 --> 00:30:16.319
In the house to drink.

612
00:30:16.480 --> 00:30:19.839
Wait till you hear the good news, Darling, Sam called.

613
00:30:20.279 --> 00:30:24.079
Two cases against you were dismissed and two withdrawn. The

614
00:30:24.160 --> 00:30:28.480
witnesses refused to testify. Now there are only two less.

615
00:30:28.519 --> 00:30:29.640
Jean, what are.

616
00:30:29.640 --> 00:30:30.680
You doing with that chair?

617
00:30:30.920 --> 00:30:33.440
It's in my way. Gee, everything's in my way.

618
00:30:33.599 --> 00:30:35.119
What is the matter with you?

619
00:30:35.200 --> 00:30:37.960
When you look at yourself? She looks like a wild man, Jean,

620
00:30:38.039 --> 00:30:38.839
look in the mirror.

621
00:30:39.720 --> 00:30:41.440
Yeah, yeah, you're right.

622
00:30:42.400 --> 00:30:44.759
I see a wild man in the mirror, and I

623
00:30:44.759 --> 00:30:46.200
don't wish to see him anymore.

624
00:30:46.559 --> 00:30:50.279
Darling, Darling, come over here with me, Sit down here

625
00:30:50.279 --> 00:30:52.680
with me on the sofa. I know, I know it's

626
00:30:52.720 --> 00:30:53.319
been hard.

627
00:30:54.079 --> 00:30:57.400
Oh Lord, Lord, it's too much.

628
00:30:58.640 --> 00:31:00.759
When I came up the driveway, I saw that Officer

629
00:31:00.920 --> 00:31:02.839
Jackie was sitting in his patrol car.

630
00:31:03.920 --> 00:31:06.200
Something came over me. I don't know why.

631
00:31:06.200 --> 00:31:10.200
It's all right, it's all right, it'll be over soon,

632
00:31:10.640 --> 00:31:12.519
says it'll be all right, Shane.

633
00:31:12.519 --> 00:31:15.400
It'll never be over. They dis missed one case and

634
00:31:15.440 --> 00:31:17.960
two spring up. I can't stand it anymore.

635
00:31:18.480 --> 00:31:19.279
I don't know what to do.

636
00:31:19.480 --> 00:31:22.200
You can stand it, my darling. You're very strong.

637
00:31:22.440 --> 00:31:25.680
I saw him sitting there in his car. I felt

638
00:31:25.720 --> 00:31:28.599
like killing someone. You know you?

639
00:31:29.839 --> 00:31:32.720
You say to yourself, Am I some kind of psychopath?

640
00:31:33.519 --> 00:31:34.680
Did I commit all those crimes?

641
00:31:34.680 --> 00:31:35.279
And I don't know it?

642
00:31:35.400 --> 00:31:36.359
No, of course not.

643
00:31:36.519 --> 00:31:37.559
Don't even see them.

644
00:31:37.680 --> 00:31:38.200
Who does it?

645
00:31:38.440 --> 00:31:39.359
Who's doing them?

646
00:31:39.839 --> 00:31:40.480
Who is this?

647
00:31:40.480 --> 00:31:41.000
This ghost?

648
00:31:41.119 --> 00:31:42.240
This, this double I have?

649
00:31:42.319 --> 00:31:44.000
Who's out there right tapping people?

650
00:31:44.480 --> 00:31:46.920
It's destroying me, destroying you?

651
00:31:49.160 --> 00:31:53.359
Look I look, I mean this, honey. I really don't

652
00:31:53.359 --> 00:31:55.119
think it's safe for you around me. I don't know

653
00:31:55.119 --> 00:31:55.920
what I'll do next.

654
00:31:56.640 --> 00:31:57.799
Don't you want me with you?

655
00:31:57.880 --> 00:32:03.400
I'm beginning to doubt myself. Can I control this? I'm

656
00:32:03.400 --> 00:32:06.599
okay now this minute? But what if I should attack

657
00:32:06.680 --> 00:32:10.680
you like that chair? Please? Will you go and live

658
00:32:10.720 --> 00:32:13.559
with Mom and Dad. Will you please, Jane, I'll.

659
00:32:13.359 --> 00:32:17.400
Think about it now. You go upstairs and take a shower,

660
00:32:17.880 --> 00:32:19.799
and I'll have a nice dinner on the table for

661
00:32:19.960 --> 00:32:20.400
just the tour.

662
00:32:20.480 --> 00:32:23.160
Will you do as I asked, Jane, and move out

663
00:32:23.839 --> 00:32:24.559
at least for now.

664
00:32:24.759 --> 00:32:28.839
You are making it so difficult for me. I love you, Darling,

665
00:32:28.880 --> 00:32:32.599
and I want to be with you always, no matter

666
00:32:32.640 --> 00:32:33.319
what happened.

667
00:32:39.200 --> 00:32:41.200
I think the trial came just in time.

668
00:32:42.079 --> 00:32:46.720
There was only one. The second case was dismissed, no question.

669
00:32:46.799 --> 00:32:49.039
Even Jane was beginning to have her doubts as to

670
00:32:49.079 --> 00:32:50.119
her husband's innocence.

671
00:32:51.279 --> 00:32:54.000
We worked hard. I played up the evidence of no

672
00:32:54.079 --> 00:32:57.440
finger prints, the Robert had worn gloves. I found a

673
00:32:57.480 --> 00:32:59.240
policeman who Gin had talked to the night of the

674
00:32:59.279 --> 00:33:03.400
eighth to get directions miles away. And David's ly detector

675
00:33:03.440 --> 00:33:07.359
one hundred percent favorable helped a great deal in the

676
00:33:07.480 --> 00:33:11.559
m gene follower was acquitted. I went on to my

677
00:33:11.640 --> 00:33:13.599
next case, which took me out of town for about

678
00:33:13.640 --> 00:33:19.279
a month. Sam, Hey, Jane, look who's here? I can't

679
00:33:19.279 --> 00:33:21.440
think of anyone i'd rather see, especially today.

680
00:33:21.880 --> 00:33:22.359
Where were you?

681
00:33:22.480 --> 00:33:23.160
We've been trying to.

682
00:33:23.079 --> 00:33:25.720
Call another case, another town, but I come over and

683
00:33:25.960 --> 00:33:27.240
bring a little something today.

684
00:33:27.279 --> 00:33:29.440
Every all days we're celebrating, well, the trials and.

685
00:33:29.440 --> 00:33:31.440
Over a month and you two are still celebrating. It's

686
00:33:31.480 --> 00:33:35.559
our wedding anniversary five years ago today, five.

687
00:33:35.359 --> 00:33:38.559
Years ago today, and it doesn't feel any more than

688
00:33:38.640 --> 00:33:39.839
fifty Hi.

689
00:33:39.960 --> 00:33:43.640
Sam, don't mind Jane some days she talks funny. We

690
00:33:43.640 --> 00:33:45.039
haven't seen Sam in a month, and all you can

691
00:33:45.079 --> 00:33:47.680
say is hi, Hi Jane. Well, if i'd known it

692
00:33:47.720 --> 00:33:49.640
was a special day, I'd have brought flowers. But what's

693
00:33:49.680 --> 00:33:51.799
in this paper bag gives us a chance to toast

694
00:33:51.799 --> 00:33:52.519
each other's health.

695
00:33:52.880 --> 00:33:53.839
Yeah, Jane, take it.

696
00:33:54.119 --> 00:33:58.519
Hell, physical or mental, you name it. What do you

697
00:33:58.599 --> 00:33:59.839
do when you haven't got it?

698
00:34:00.160 --> 00:34:03.640
Hey, this is pretty fancy wine. Honey, look at the label.

699
00:34:03.920 --> 00:34:07.359
That's a sweet, sweet thought. Sam. I'll go get some

700
00:34:07.440 --> 00:34:08.639
glasses and a corkscrew.

701
00:34:08.639 --> 00:34:14.079
Honey, Sam, do you notice the change in her? Well,

702
00:34:14.159 --> 00:34:16.159
relief that it's all over. It can be a big

703
00:34:16.199 --> 00:34:19.320
shock to the system. You both went through some real hell.

704
00:34:19.639 --> 00:34:20.679
I think we're coming apart.

705
00:34:20.760 --> 00:34:21.519
Sam.

706
00:34:21.800 --> 00:34:24.320
It's as if all those horrors are being falsely accused.

707
00:34:24.440 --> 00:34:26.559
Was what held us together? Are you saying that Jane

708
00:34:26.559 --> 00:34:27.320
wants to leave you.

709
00:34:27.760 --> 00:34:28.320
Yes, I am.

710
00:34:29.239 --> 00:34:31.559
All those months of screaming in the face of injustice

711
00:34:31.599 --> 00:34:34.920
took the heart out of it. That destroyed a a

712
00:34:35.000 --> 00:34:36.840
kind of innocence O marriage. Had you want me to

713
00:34:36.880 --> 00:34:37.800
talk to her, I.

714
00:34:37.719 --> 00:34:38.719
Don't know what good it would do.

715
00:34:39.679 --> 00:34:42.119
I love Janet and I need her, but I don't

716
00:34:42.119 --> 00:34:43.920
think she loves me or needs me anymore.

717
00:34:44.039 --> 00:34:48.000
Here we are, three glasses and one corkscrew.

718
00:34:48.159 --> 00:34:49.320
Okay, let me do the honors.

719
00:34:49.400 --> 00:34:52.360
I'll open it poor Okay, And while you're at it,

720
00:34:53.239 --> 00:34:54.760
I think I ought to tell you both something that

721
00:34:54.840 --> 00:34:56.559
happened right after the trial.

722
00:34:56.599 --> 00:34:58.559
I thought it could wait, and I thought it should wait.

723
00:34:58.679 --> 00:35:01.960
What not another mistaken identity?

724
00:35:02.599 --> 00:35:05.880
You remember Judge Garvey, who presided over the trial, I

725
00:35:05.960 --> 00:35:06.280
sure do.

726
00:35:06.719 --> 00:35:07.320
A great guy.

727
00:35:07.639 --> 00:35:09.639
Or after the court was cleared and you two went home,

728
00:35:09.639 --> 00:35:12.280
he called me into his chambers. Now I know him,

729
00:35:12.320 --> 00:35:17.840
I've often represented cases before him. He said to me, Strauss,

730
00:35:18.119 --> 00:35:19.079
that young man who was.

731
00:35:19.039 --> 00:35:20.480
Acquitted in the courtroom today.

732
00:35:21.719 --> 00:35:25.000
Were I his attorney, i'd advise him to get some

733
00:35:25.079 --> 00:35:28.280
medical help. When I asked him what he meant, he

734
00:35:28.320 --> 00:35:30.280
wouldn't elaborate medical help.

735
00:35:30.440 --> 00:35:32.039
That's sunny, all right.

736
00:35:32.079 --> 00:35:36.960
Here we go, three glasses, Sam Jane and me.

737
00:35:37.360 --> 00:35:40.880
Jean dearest, didn't you hear what Sam just told us?

738
00:35:41.119 --> 00:35:43.719
I didn't take it as Judge Garvey's personal disstret group

739
00:35:43.719 --> 00:35:44.119
of verdict.

740
00:35:44.920 --> 00:35:47.400
It was a warning, and perhaps we are to heed it.

741
00:35:48.599 --> 00:35:53.440
Who needs the psychiatric counseling? Sam, you, Jean or me?

742
00:35:54.159 --> 00:35:54.360
Well?

743
00:35:54.400 --> 00:35:56.320
I guess this isn't the time to talk about it.

744
00:35:56.760 --> 00:35:59.440
But there is one thing that I must warn you about.

745
00:36:00.599 --> 00:36:03.320
I know the stressful times aren't over for either of you.

746
00:36:04.079 --> 00:36:06.760
It'll take a while, and I want you to protect

747
00:36:06.800 --> 00:36:11.840
yourselves because until they catch your doumble whoever was committing

748
00:36:11.880 --> 00:36:16.119
all those armed robberies, whenever one occurs, you'll be picked up.

749
00:36:16.400 --> 00:36:19.400
Oh lord, I try to put it out of my mind.

750
00:36:19.599 --> 00:36:22.679
Now, look where you are anywhere away from home. Let's

751
00:36:22.679 --> 00:36:24.280
say you're on a trip. I want you to keep

752
00:36:24.280 --> 00:36:27.119
a record of every day where you are, what time

753
00:36:27.159 --> 00:36:30.079
you're there, who you see, if they are strangers, do

754
00:36:30.199 --> 00:36:31.880
something just to make sure they remember you.

755
00:36:31.920 --> 00:36:32.760
Do you understand? Yeah?

756
00:36:32.760 --> 00:36:33.159
I sure do.

757
00:36:34.119 --> 00:36:36.000
I may have been acquitted this week, but next week

758
00:36:36.000 --> 00:36:38.559
I'm a guilty man. Not if you take precautions, but

759
00:36:38.559 --> 00:36:40.360
if the judge thinks I'm such a nut, what do

760
00:36:40.440 --> 00:36:42.400
I have to be afraid of next time.

761
00:36:42.400 --> 00:36:43.880
You just played in sanity, Jane.

762
00:36:43.960 --> 00:36:45.880
He was telling me that to help you get over

763
00:36:45.920 --> 00:36:50.079
what happened, there are medicines for that. He didn't mean

764
00:36:50.079 --> 00:36:53.800
that there was anything wrong with you. I'm going to

765
00:36:53.880 --> 00:36:56.199
leave you kids now, so drink up, keep well, and

766
00:36:56.280 --> 00:37:00.280
Gene keep a record at least until they catch with

767
00:37:00.280 --> 00:37:04.360
your doppelgander. What's that a person's ghost to double that

768
00:37:04.519 --> 00:37:05.679
haunts him through his life?

769
00:37:06.599 --> 00:37:09.559
Well let him haunt let him. I say, hold on now, Jane,

770
00:37:09.559 --> 00:37:09.880
you want.

771
00:37:09.800 --> 00:37:10.519
To take me to the door.

772
00:37:14.000 --> 00:37:15.480
Jane, can you hold out a little longer?

773
00:37:15.599 --> 00:37:16.199
What do you mean?

774
00:37:16.760 --> 00:37:19.000
Well, Jeane told me that you were serious about leaving him.

775
00:37:19.360 --> 00:37:21.119
He hasn't any right to tell you that.

776
00:37:21.679 --> 00:37:24.400
Who else could he tell? You can see what condition

777
00:37:24.480 --> 00:37:27.280
he's in. If you leave him now, you put away

778
00:37:27.320 --> 00:37:30.840
the only prop that he has. And I tell you, Jane,

779
00:37:30.840 --> 00:37:33.039
I wouldn't want to be responsible for a man's crackup.

780
00:37:33.039 --> 00:37:36.639
It It isn't my fault. I wanted things to be

781
00:37:36.679 --> 00:37:38.159
as they were, but he's changed.

782
00:37:38.239 --> 00:37:41.960
So Jane, be compassionate. Just hang in there a little longer.

783
00:37:42.599 --> 00:37:45.800
You can help Gene. Would you like your old husband

784
00:37:45.800 --> 00:37:46.199
back again?

785
00:37:46.320 --> 00:37:47.360
You'll never come back.

786
00:37:47.559 --> 00:37:49.960
Then at least promise me before you pack one bag

787
00:37:50.000 --> 00:37:52.199
that you'll call me. Can you do that?

788
00:37:52.880 --> 00:37:53.800
I promise them?

789
00:37:54.039 --> 00:37:58.519
Okay, goodness.

790
00:38:02.000 --> 00:38:05.960
Two weeks went by, then three, then four, and I

791
00:38:06.000 --> 00:38:09.880
heard nothing from either Jane or Jean. I hope he

792
00:38:09.960 --> 00:38:13.920
was logging every night in daylight minutes. Strange because his

793
00:38:14.039 --> 00:38:17.519
double whoever he was, had not struck since the trial.

794
00:38:18.880 --> 00:38:20.679
But I knew as the time got longer that the

795
00:38:20.719 --> 00:38:27.000
odds would get shorter. Then my phone rang, Sam Star speaking.

796
00:38:27.239 --> 00:38:28.480
It's me Sam, Jane.

797
00:38:28.519 --> 00:38:32.880
Soowler, Sam. We're taking the sales trip together, Jean and me,

798
00:38:33.320 --> 00:38:34.599
just like when we were first married.

799
00:38:34.679 --> 00:38:35.400
All that's great?

800
00:38:35.840 --> 00:38:38.000
Where too that finally came away?

801
00:38:38.559 --> 00:38:41.199
Jean's a boss at Allied Hardware put him back on

802
00:38:41.239 --> 00:38:43.159
the road, and he and I are going to make

803
00:38:43.199 --> 00:38:44.679
that first sales trip together.

804
00:38:45.159 --> 00:38:46.199
She's Jean Sam.

805
00:38:46.679 --> 00:38:48.960
He just wants to say hello and goodbye.

806
00:38:49.360 --> 00:38:50.199
Hello, Sam.

807
00:38:50.400 --> 00:38:51.800
Jane just told me the great news.

808
00:38:52.039 --> 00:38:55.079
Things worked out pretty good. Make sure it's wasn't for me, sir,

809
00:38:55.719 --> 00:38:57.280
But now I think I can make enough to pray

810
00:38:57.320 --> 00:38:58.840
it for your invaluable services.

811
00:38:58.880 --> 00:38:59.760
Tell me how are you feeling?

812
00:39:00.719 --> 00:39:04.280
I think so I stopped having nightmares about being arrested.

813
00:39:04.960 --> 00:39:07.400
I see a future. It's all pretty good.

814
00:39:07.719 --> 00:39:10.480
When do you leave? About when you be back?

815
00:39:10.800 --> 00:39:13.360
Oh, four to six weeks. I got a lot of

816
00:39:13.480 --> 00:39:15.960
territory to cover and some brand new eyes at to

817
00:39:16.039 --> 00:39:16.880
sell like hotcake.

818
00:39:16.960 --> 00:39:20.199
We'll have yourself a real good time. I'll keep track

819
00:39:20.239 --> 00:39:23.639
at this end, and uh, you leave a trail of

820
00:39:23.679 --> 00:39:25.360
witnesses wherever you go.

821
00:39:25.639 --> 00:39:28.800
If you locate my Doppeldanger, nail them, Sam, will you?

822
00:39:29.000 --> 00:39:29.880
I sure will?

823
00:39:30.360 --> 00:39:33.519
And I'll order a double scotch and a rice pudding

824
00:39:33.559 --> 00:39:36.599
in every tavern we hit. People won't forget me.

825
00:39:41.159 --> 00:39:43.800
Jeane Parlor and Jane did just that. Nature You're a

826
00:39:43.800 --> 00:39:47.119
Waitress and motel Twerk saw them coming and going, having

827
00:39:47.159 --> 00:39:51.880
long conversations with bartenders, ordering unheard of sandwich combinations, anything

828
00:39:51.920 --> 00:39:54.119
so that people wouldn't forget them.

829
00:39:54.920 --> 00:39:56.519
One night, they pulled up in front.

830
00:39:56.320 --> 00:39:56.840
Of a diner.

831
00:39:57.320 --> 00:39:58.960
It looked like every other diner they'd.

832
00:39:58.760 --> 00:40:03.679
Ever been to, only it wasn't when he made some movie.

833
00:40:03.679 --> 00:40:05.840
He'll get one through the head, just like the should

834
00:40:05.920 --> 00:40:09.960
ordered cook. Come on, the lady, you're going for a ride.

835
00:40:10.440 --> 00:40:11.800
That cashier comes.

836
00:40:11.519 --> 00:40:18.599
With MEO the car with you. I'm gonna get him.

837
00:40:18.840 --> 00:40:20.960
Jeem Geez, what are you doing.

838
00:40:21.039 --> 00:40:22.000
I want to get that guy.

839
00:40:22.360 --> 00:40:23.119
You saw what he did.

840
00:40:23.440 --> 00:40:24.800
He shot someone a hold up.

841
00:40:25.159 --> 00:40:27.159
He's got that girl at the hostage in his car.

842
00:40:27.480 --> 00:40:30.719
You don't It's not your job that the police get it.

843
00:40:30.800 --> 00:40:33.119
Yeah, I'm still waiting for the police to give me

844
00:40:33.159 --> 00:40:36.360
a fair shake. Look at that guy go but I'm

845
00:40:36.440 --> 00:40:38.960
right on it tail, Jean, don't be crazy.

846
00:40:39.000 --> 00:40:42.119
He's got a gun. What are you going to do? Raymond?

847
00:40:42.480 --> 00:40:44.639
And then what you'll kill us both?

848
00:40:44.840 --> 00:40:45.079
Jean?

849
00:40:45.440 --> 00:40:48.159
Stop, stop the car, Darling. I can stop the car

850
00:40:48.199 --> 00:40:50.000
and let you out if that's what you want. But

851
00:40:50.079 --> 00:40:52.599
I'm going after that guy and following him if it

852
00:40:52.599 --> 00:40:53.239
takes all night.

853
00:40:53.400 --> 00:40:55.000
Gee, we're doing eighty.

854
00:40:55.239 --> 00:40:55.960
I've been through this.

855
00:40:56.719 --> 00:40:58.679
I'm not gonna let some other poor jerk get blamed

856
00:40:58.679 --> 00:40:59.639
for what I've seen him do.

857
00:41:00.719 --> 00:41:02.800
Or be killed. What can you hope to do?

858
00:41:02.920 --> 00:41:05.360
I'll tell you what. I hope that the police will

859
00:41:05.360 --> 00:41:05.920
see two.

860
00:41:05.800 --> 00:41:07.880
Cars doing eighty on a highway and they'll stop us.

861
00:41:07.960 --> 00:41:13.639
Boat. Yeah, somebody up there hurt me. Look at that.

862
00:41:14.199 --> 00:41:15.760
The cop passed us and went on that he's going

863
00:41:15.800 --> 00:41:16.360
to stop them.

864
00:41:16.360 --> 00:41:17.400
First.

865
00:41:17.639 --> 00:41:19.159
Sound that siren I.

866
00:41:19.199 --> 00:41:19.880
Used to also.

867
00:41:20.440 --> 00:41:21.920
Last time I heard it was when they pulled me

868
00:41:21.960 --> 00:41:22.719
over for streeting.

869
00:41:24.519 --> 00:41:28.000
They are up ahead. They stopped the hold up man.

870
00:41:28.719 --> 00:41:30.840
He's getting out of his car with his hands up.

871
00:41:30.960 --> 00:41:34.079
Oh boy, there is some justice after all.

872
00:41:41.800 --> 00:41:44.840
I guess you could say miracles do have, although the

873
00:41:44.880 --> 00:41:48.480
police maintained in the long run criminals are caught. But

874
00:41:48.559 --> 00:41:52.199
when I talk about miraculous happenings, it's because incredible as

875
00:41:52.199 --> 00:41:56.519
it sounds. That night, Jeanne caught up with his doppelganger,

876
00:41:56.920 --> 00:42:00.119
committing another crime for which he himself would certain we

877
00:42:00.199 --> 00:42:04.159
have been accused. Yes, the man in the car stop

878
00:42:04.199 --> 00:42:07.280
out the police for speeding was the very one who

879
00:42:07.320 --> 00:42:11.599
all these months had turned Jeanne's life upside down.

880
00:42:29.519 --> 00:42:33.800
Today, Jean Faler has been promoted from salesmen to district manager,

881
00:42:34.760 --> 00:42:38.840
but he and Jane still have time to make trips. However,

882
00:42:39.440 --> 00:42:42.239
they still birth keep an accurate record of where.

883
00:42:41.960 --> 00:42:43.239
They are and who they meet.

884
00:42:43.960 --> 00:42:47.400
After all, having been struck by lightning so many times,

885
00:42:47.920 --> 00:42:50.199
who is it to say it could never happen again.

886
00:42:51.039 --> 00:42:52.559
I should returned shortly.

887
00:43:14.880 --> 00:43:17.599
The promise exactly at the beginning of the trial, to

888
00:43:17.679 --> 00:43:20.719
tell the whole truth and nothing. But the truth is

889
00:43:20.719 --> 00:43:23.159
not enough of a deterrent to one who wants to

890
00:43:23.320 --> 00:43:28.039
escape justice. Can a scientific instrument forced the truth from

891
00:43:28.079 --> 00:43:32.960
a person bent online? The fact is the lie detector

892
00:43:33.119 --> 00:43:35.719
is used more by a defense counsel to clear the

893
00:43:35.840 --> 00:43:36.840
wrongly accused.

894
00:43:37.559 --> 00:43:38.440
That's a great.

895
00:43:38.199 --> 00:43:43.199
Step forward, better than trials by ordeal. The next step

896
00:43:43.480 --> 00:43:48.000
my full proof system to convict the guilty or do

897
00:43:48.079 --> 00:43:49.320
we already have it.

898
00:43:50.800 --> 00:43:52.800
Trial by jury?

899
00:43:53.519 --> 00:43:58.599
Our cast included Michael Tolan, Carol titell Mande Kramer, and

900
00:43:58.719 --> 00:44:02.599
Lloyd Batista. The entire production is under the direction of

901
00:44:02.639 --> 00:44:03.480
hiding down.

902
00:44:07.599 --> 00:44:09.199
And now a preview.

903
00:44:09.840 --> 00:44:16.360
I'm him, I am the master, you the safe.

904
00:44:16.519 --> 00:44:22.360
What are you going to do? No, don't com me.

905
00:44:22.760 --> 00:44:26.280
You will not go any place, you fool and.

906
00:44:26.320 --> 00:44:27.159
Are you're saying it?

907
00:44:27.559 --> 00:44:27.599
No?

908
00:44:28.360 --> 00:44:29.320
Stay away from me.

909
00:44:31.119 --> 00:44:35.559
Dig your hands from my front, doruise, don't.

910
00:44:35.360 --> 00:44:40.519
For me down you needio Linca, I am Lincer, I

911
00:44:40.920 --> 00:44:42.440
breed or the jig jar.

912
00:44:43.480 --> 00:44:44.199
And I wanted to.

913
00:44:45.840 --> 00:44:49.119
Hi ty hi Ti.

914
00:44:50.440 --> 00:44:59.199
Ty hi to you and this this hector should shut

915
00:44:59.280 --> 00:45:01.840
that im saying mouth O.

916
00:45:02.159 --> 00:45:09.559
Yours is the tummy grinds inviting me to return undis street.

917
00:45:09.599 --> 00:45:13.239
There is another adventure in the car. Until next time,

918
00:45:14.000 --> 00:45:15.639
pleasant team.

919
00:45:37.639 --> 00:45:41.679
Well, my dear wouldn't you say, we've started the witching

920
00:45:41.800 --> 00:45:46.320
season very appropriately? What's that? What's that?

921
00:45:46.559 --> 00:45:46.880
Oh?

922
00:45:46.920 --> 00:45:52.639
Well, of course, of course, But don't you worry. They

923
00:45:52.679 --> 00:45:57.639
can't get in here. These walls are over a foot

924
00:45:57.760 --> 00:46:03.239
thick concrete and rear as good at keeping things out

925
00:46:03.519 --> 00:46:09.159
as keeping things in. Do you ever feel an urge

926
00:46:09.320 --> 00:46:16.280
to keep something or someone all to yourself? It can

927
00:46:16.320 --> 00:46:22.079
be so intoxicating, like the seeds of greed.

928
00:46:23.360 --> 00:46:28.159
Tired of the everyday routine, ever dream of a life

929
00:46:28.199 --> 00:46:30.400
of romantic adventure?

930
00:46:31.719 --> 00:46:33.239
I want to get away from it all.

931
00:46:34.400 --> 00:46:42.840
We offer you escape, escape designed to free you from

932
00:46:42.880 --> 00:46:45.199
the four walls of today, for a half hour of

933
00:46:45.360 --> 00:46:46.280
high adventure.

934
00:46:50.920 --> 00:46:53.960
Tonight, we escape to a small ship off the coast

935
00:46:53.960 --> 00:46:57.840
of Borneo and an exciting tale of murderous greed.

936
00:46:58.639 --> 00:46:59.360
As Freud A.

937
00:46:59.440 --> 00:47:04.079
Nelson els that in his strange story Seeds of Greed.

938
00:47:15.239 --> 00:47:20.400
This is it, the romantic South Pacific, a languid lure

939
00:47:20.440 --> 00:47:23.960
of the tropics, A ship at my command to take

940
00:47:24.000 --> 00:47:27.719
me any place I might choose. A jewel tiara of

941
00:47:27.840 --> 00:47:33.199
sky above and an ocean of emerald velvet below to

942
00:47:33.280 --> 00:47:37.280
my left, the languid coast of Borneo to my right,

943
00:47:37.960 --> 00:47:56.599
the Sulu Archipelago, such romance, such gentleness, such maddening, unbearable gentleness.

944
00:47:57.639 --> 00:48:01.280
Not long ago I was a carefree, little monument of failure,

945
00:48:01.599 --> 00:48:05.280
reaping the rewards of my college education and the atmosphere

946
00:48:05.360 --> 00:48:07.760
a hitch in the Navy had taught me to love

947
00:48:07.840 --> 00:48:14.400
and live the waterfront. Maybe it's the atmosphere. Maybe it's

948
00:48:14.440 --> 00:48:17.480
the people you meet, or maybe it's the margin you

949
00:48:17.480 --> 00:48:20.199
can make in the exchange of drinks with guys in

950
00:48:20.400 --> 00:48:24.480
port bat with seapey. Take this guy Lee, for instance,

951
00:48:25.000 --> 00:48:28.239
an oriental little guy who's correct English. Told you it

952
00:48:28.280 --> 00:48:31.679
was adopted. I had him figured wrong from the beginning,

953
00:48:32.800 --> 00:48:36.079
mister Kenneth Brown. Yeah, yeah, that's right.

954
00:48:36.400 --> 00:48:39.519
My name is Lee, Lead, said Tom. If you prefer

955
00:48:39.960 --> 00:48:41.960
I don't Joanie.

956
00:48:42.639 --> 00:48:45.360
Sure, surely pull up a buck for a couple of

957
00:48:45.400 --> 00:48:50.639
drinks and sit down. Suddenly, Yeah, our same thing here. Okay,

958
00:48:51.360 --> 00:48:51.960
what's yours?

959
00:48:52.039 --> 00:48:52.360
Lee?

960
00:48:52.519 --> 00:48:54.960
Nothing? Thank you, I do not indulge.

961
00:48:55.400 --> 00:49:03.119
Okay, thanks, al Well, I've got the bait set your hook.

962
00:49:03.880 --> 00:49:04.719
What's on your mind?

963
00:49:05.199 --> 00:49:07.519
You have pointed out to me as a man who

964
00:49:07.599 --> 00:49:11.239
knows boats just like the Navy, and also as a

965
00:49:11.280 --> 00:49:13.119
man who might be induced to gamble.

966
00:49:13.760 --> 00:49:16.039
Well, I can't contradict, but if you.

967
00:49:16.000 --> 00:49:18.480
Will pardon me as a man who is more than

968
00:49:18.760 --> 00:49:20.039
casually devoted to.

969
00:49:20.760 --> 00:49:23.800
Drink, I can take it or leave it. At the

970
00:49:23.840 --> 00:49:28.320
moment my mood says take it your healthy Yes.

971
00:49:29.079 --> 00:49:32.079
But for that one failing mister Browne, I could up

972
00:49:32.199 --> 00:49:35.679
a very interesting and profitable proposal.

973
00:49:36.440 --> 00:49:40.800
Mystery. It is considered very poor taste in the accident

974
00:49:40.880 --> 00:49:45.360
to proper drinks with strings attached. A good days, no

975
00:49:45.480 --> 00:49:46.039
one moment.

976
00:49:46.079 --> 00:49:50.159
Please forgive me. I was going to add a feeling

977
00:49:50.280 --> 00:49:53.760
which we could overlook if it were to be controlled

978
00:49:53.800 --> 00:49:54.760
for a short time.

979
00:49:55.119 --> 00:49:57.199
I said, I take it or leave it.

980
00:49:57.559 --> 00:50:00.599
I am in the pearl business. Do you know anything

981
00:50:00.639 --> 00:50:02.000
about pilots? Brown?

982
00:50:02.519 --> 00:50:05.880
Yeah, an oyster gets hold of a bad grain of

983
00:50:05.960 --> 00:50:10.360
sand and he or she or it gets an ulcer

984
00:50:11.039 --> 00:50:12.440
bingo a pearl.

985
00:50:12.880 --> 00:50:15.960
Perhaps we should take us up at another time. I

986
00:50:16.000 --> 00:50:19.440
am stopping at the Case hotel. Good night, Brown and

987
00:50:19.880 --> 00:50:21.400
come see me if you're shot.

988
00:50:21.800 --> 00:50:34.119
Riconci okay Ley, but don't wait up. I hate the

989
00:50:34.280 --> 00:50:37.679
warm feeling of elegance that takes me over after the

990
00:50:37.719 --> 00:50:44.960
fifth drink. I hate myself. I hate morning. Worst of all,

991
00:50:45.320 --> 00:50:47.880
I hate waking up without a little hair of the

992
00:50:47.960 --> 00:50:50.599
dog and not a nickel in a poke to supply

993
00:50:50.679 --> 00:50:54.719
it out of the fog of remorse. Came a stolid,

994
00:50:54.760 --> 00:51:01.559
little oriental face. Yeah, yeah, there's a generous soul pearls.

995
00:51:01.599 --> 00:51:02.159
He said.

996
00:51:02.880 --> 00:51:07.719
Oh that should be a nice, substantial little proposition. Yeah,

997
00:51:08.199 --> 00:51:11.639
maybe I am ready to talk business.

998
00:51:15.079 --> 00:51:17.760
Bron. I did not expect to see you come in.

999
00:51:19.719 --> 00:51:21.519
This is a pleasant surprise.

1000
00:51:21.880 --> 00:51:27.760
Yeah you were. You mentioned something about a business proposal.

1001
00:51:27.440 --> 00:51:28.480
Yes, I did.

1002
00:51:29.800 --> 00:51:33.119
Hotel rooms depress me Lee. Could we go down to

1003
00:51:33.159 --> 00:51:33.679
the bar.

1004
00:51:33.599 --> 00:51:37.239
And talk it over or certainly, Bron, if you prefer.

1005
00:51:37.519 --> 00:51:38.199
I prefer.

1006
00:51:47.360 --> 00:51:50.280
You mentioned something about the pearl business.

1007
00:51:50.440 --> 00:51:54.360
Yes, Bron, I didn't think that is I thought that

1008
00:51:54.679 --> 00:51:55.800
might have slept your mind.

1009
00:51:56.239 --> 00:51:59.880
Oll, things aren't that badly tell me more.

1010
00:52:00.519 --> 00:52:03.599
We could be very useful to each other, Brown, I

1011
00:52:03.679 --> 00:52:07.079
have the information and the equipment. You have the experience

1012
00:52:07.119 --> 00:52:10.639
without which the equipment is useless to me. Yeah, we

1013
00:52:10.719 --> 00:52:14.880
can turn an enormous profit in very short time. Hu,

1014
00:52:15.360 --> 00:52:18.920
I have just completed the transaction whereby I become owner

1015
00:52:19.320 --> 00:52:24.159
of small ship equipped with certain scientific devices for probing the.

1016
00:52:24.159 --> 00:52:26.360
Ocean floor sonar equipment.

1017
00:52:26.480 --> 00:52:28.360
I believe that is the name I.

1018
00:52:28.440 --> 00:52:31.400
Hate disillusion you ly, But she can't bounce an echo

1019
00:52:31.440 --> 00:52:33.400
off an oyster. It'll never work.

1020
00:52:34.400 --> 00:52:35.679
That is not my intention.

1021
00:52:36.400 --> 00:52:39.920
Well, then, how does sonar equipment fit into the pearl business?

1022
00:52:39.960 --> 00:52:43.639
These pearls A great fortune in pearls are all in

1023
00:52:43.719 --> 00:52:48.079
one package, hours for the taking salvage.

1024
00:52:48.360 --> 00:52:53.719
Yes, I fell air to chart upon the timely death

1025
00:52:53.760 --> 00:52:57.239
of a friend, and that chart is indicated the position

1026
00:52:57.280 --> 00:53:00.159
of a vessel sunk during the war somewhere between in

1027
00:53:00.159 --> 00:53:03.280
the Sulu Archipelago and the northeast coast of Bonno.

1028
00:53:03.880 --> 00:53:04.519
Yeah.

1029
00:53:04.719 --> 00:53:07.119
I have reason to know that on board at the

1030
00:53:07.159 --> 00:53:09.760
time of the sinking was the personal fortune of a

1031
00:53:09.800 --> 00:53:13.840
certain sultan, as well as the assets of his constituents.

1032
00:53:14.199 --> 00:53:16.239
There was one survivor.

1033
00:53:16.880 --> 00:53:20.239
And you hope to locate that vessel with this sounding gear?

1034
00:53:20.360 --> 00:53:23.920
I do, Well, what about getting the stuff up after

1035
00:53:23.920 --> 00:53:24.559
it's located.

1036
00:53:24.559 --> 00:53:27.039
I also have diving equipment.

1037
00:53:27.159 --> 00:53:29.840
And you want somebody who knows how to operate the gear?

1038
00:53:30.000 --> 00:53:32.360
PCI say, what's your deal?

1039
00:53:33.079 --> 00:53:37.880
Uh, I am prepared to offer you one fourth of

1040
00:53:38.039 --> 00:53:39.480
any treasure we may locate.

1041
00:53:40.039 --> 00:53:44.960
Ah for that consideration, I could offer about one half.

1042
00:53:45.199 --> 00:53:49.119
What I know about your equipment, I don't understand for

1043
00:53:49.159 --> 00:53:51.840
a fifty to fifty share of any loot. I could

1044
00:53:51.840 --> 00:53:54.000
offer one hundred percent cooperation.

1045
00:53:54.880 --> 00:53:58.719
See bron you should it surprises me you are not

1046
00:53:58.880 --> 00:54:04.199
more prosperous, all right, fifty fifty as you say.

1047
00:54:04.360 --> 00:54:07.679
All right, you've got yourself a boy to you, partner,

1048
00:54:10.639 --> 00:54:12.800
Oh one for the road, and we'll go look at

1049
00:54:12.800 --> 00:54:25.920
your ship. Okay, partner, Okay, partner. Lee's stubby fefinger pointed

1050
00:54:25.960 --> 00:54:28.559
a great circle course across the harbor to a little

1051
00:54:28.599 --> 00:54:32.400
tub laying with her forward quarter scraping paint against the

1052
00:54:32.480 --> 00:54:35.679
can of her mooring. She was from the orphan fleet

1053
00:54:35.679 --> 00:54:39.159
of subchasers, pressed into service out of desperation during the war,

1054
00:54:39.639 --> 00:54:41.800
about one hundred feet, built to roll on a twenty

1055
00:54:41.840 --> 00:54:45.679
foot beam. Some dreamer had her rig for fishing. She

1056
00:54:45.760 --> 00:54:48.920
still mounted an a frame out riggers in the cargo boom.

1057
00:54:49.000 --> 00:54:51.960
Map Lee didn't speak of her with the pride of

1058
00:54:51.960 --> 00:54:52.719
an owner.

1059
00:54:52.800 --> 00:54:55.440
That is, the one with a blunt end towards us.

1060
00:54:55.840 --> 00:54:56.880
When can we go aboard?

1061
00:54:56.960 --> 00:54:59.119
You have the pepper as we can take possession immediately?

1062
00:54:59.480 --> 00:55:01.280
What kind of the shape is the power plant in?

1063
00:55:01.679 --> 00:55:05.440
I'm really not qualified to say I know nothing of ships,

1064
00:55:05.599 --> 00:55:07.800
but I am sure she will need work before we

1065
00:55:08.760 --> 00:55:10.719
What is it you say, Cassalt.

1066
00:55:10.960 --> 00:55:13.320
Yeah, I'll give me two days to work over the plane,

1067
00:55:13.320 --> 00:55:15.719
and i'll have her ship shape and shaken down. If

1068
00:55:15.760 --> 00:55:17.960
she's standard, She's got two six seven ones and the

1069
00:55:18.000 --> 00:55:20.840
generators and two pancakes on the main plant. A couple

1070
00:55:20.840 --> 00:55:23.239
of spare injectors and some baling wire will see her

1071
00:55:23.239 --> 00:55:24.079
to Timbuctoo.

1072
00:55:24.320 --> 00:55:29.000
You will need a crew, won't you, an inexpensive crew.

1073
00:55:29.599 --> 00:55:31.519
Yeah, a couple of hands to do the dirty work.

1074
00:55:32.079 --> 00:55:34.280
We could get by with one if you could take

1075
00:55:34.280 --> 00:55:35.400
a turn at the wheel.

1076
00:55:35.159 --> 00:55:38.760
Ipsycond Len Yes, ips, I can lean to drive the

1077
00:55:38.800 --> 00:55:39.480
ship good.

1078
00:55:40.000 --> 00:55:43.119
I'll line up a hand. These waterfront bars are full

1079
00:55:43.119 --> 00:55:44.920
of guys looking for a chance to go fishing.

1080
00:55:45.360 --> 00:55:47.960
You seem to understand what I want, Bron, I'll leave

1081
00:55:48.000 --> 00:55:50.880
everything to you. You may reach me at my hotel.

1082
00:55:51.159 --> 00:55:53.320
Okay, the next time you see her, she will be

1083
00:55:53.400 --> 00:55:56.599
overhauled provisioned in man. So long ly see you. In

1084
00:55:56.679 --> 00:56:06.599
forty eight hours, she was in surprisingly good shape. Batteries

1085
00:56:06.719 --> 00:56:09.320
charged right up on the generators, her oil was clean

1086
00:56:09.519 --> 00:56:13.159
and her linkage tight. I replaced a corroded condenser on

1087
00:56:13.239 --> 00:56:16.199
the sonar gear, pressure checked the diving suit and put

1088
00:56:16.280 --> 00:56:19.559
new pistons in the compressors. One straight twenty four hour

1089
00:56:19.639 --> 00:56:21.639
shift and she was shaken down and ready for a crew.

1090
00:56:22.360 --> 00:56:24.679
I set out to meet my man on common ground.

1091
00:56:25.559 --> 00:56:28.480
I found him being escorted out of Casey's bar by

1092
00:56:28.639 --> 00:56:29.840
Casey himself.

1093
00:56:31.719 --> 00:56:34.559
To me, you'd better get some salt bag it before

1094
00:56:34.599 --> 00:56:35.760
you saw something in my place.

1095
00:56:36.280 --> 00:56:37.079
I'll get along with you.

1096
00:56:37.760 --> 00:56:38.800
Don't be coming back.

1097
00:56:38.760 --> 00:56:39.960
Your brother on the peak.

1098
00:56:41.320 --> 00:56:42.840
What's the matter say? Let's slippery deck.

1099
00:56:42.960 --> 00:56:44.360
You'll be quite right.

1100
00:56:44.440 --> 00:56:48.039
Stick you all right? Stow the shift kid. The jails

1101
00:56:48.079 --> 00:56:50.440
are too full now. I want to let me get

1102
00:56:50.480 --> 00:56:52.400
out of my way. Stay out of their kid, and

1103
00:56:52.519 --> 00:56:53.159
stow the knife.

1104
00:56:55.159 --> 00:56:57.440
I still get that fattief someday.

1105
00:56:58.119 --> 00:57:02.199
You're you're new around here? Thought you know that you

1106
00:57:02.280 --> 00:57:05.519
wouldn't tangle with Casey if you weren't. Where are you from?

1107
00:57:05.800 --> 00:57:06.320
It's anata.

1108
00:57:06.760 --> 00:57:07.880
I have papers in my room.

1109
00:57:07.920 --> 00:57:08.400
I have paper.

1110
00:57:08.440 --> 00:57:11.519
I didn't ask you. You didn't ask me either, But

1111
00:57:11.639 --> 00:57:13.880
I'd advise you to get rid of that knife. With

1112
00:57:14.000 --> 00:57:16.159
a temper like yours, you can cut yourself off a

1113
00:57:16.320 --> 00:57:19.679
life sentence. So far, this knife knows only the blood

1114
00:57:19.719 --> 00:57:23.599
of fish. If I've never been kicked by a fish.

1115
00:57:23.880 --> 00:57:25.480
I can use a man, I can handle a knife.

1116
00:57:25.960 --> 00:57:32.079
You're working, No, come on, I'll buy a drink all right? Now,

1117
00:57:32.159 --> 00:57:32.800
what's your name?

1118
00:57:33.519 --> 00:57:33.920
Costa?

1119
00:57:34.679 --> 00:57:43.599
Then you gear Modela Costa. Okay, tony. Two double shots later,

1120
00:57:43.679 --> 00:57:46.639
I had my man, a pathetic little guy with no

1121
00:57:46.840 --> 00:57:50.039
roots in a barren world. I sent him to stowing

1122
00:57:50.119 --> 00:57:52.679
provisions while I cleared the paper and gold braid department

1123
00:57:52.760 --> 00:57:55.280
of the Commerce building and picked up a couple hundred

1124
00:57:55.320 --> 00:57:59.039
fathoms of useless sharknet to flake out for effect. Then

1125
00:57:59.119 --> 00:58:01.480
I called Lee. He was impressed.

1126
00:58:02.679 --> 00:58:05.079
You'll have accompassed a lot in their short time, bron

1127
00:58:05.440 --> 00:58:06.719
You must have worked day and night.

1128
00:58:07.000 --> 00:58:08.519
Yeah, I can sleep under way.

1129
00:58:08.960 --> 00:58:09.760
Where is your crew?

1130
00:58:10.119 --> 00:58:13.039
Below? He's stowing provisions in the galley I see.

1131
00:58:13.360 --> 00:58:16.760
Does he meet on specification.

1132
00:58:16.480 --> 00:58:20.559
Exactly good back, with not too much above it except

1133
00:58:20.599 --> 00:58:21.400
a nasty temper.

1134
00:58:21.679 --> 00:58:21.920
Good.

1135
00:58:22.239 --> 00:58:25.960
He thinks he's going fishing. Let explend his nets partly.

1136
00:58:27.039 --> 00:58:29.760
Also, there's an unwritten law of the sea that gives

1137
00:58:29.840 --> 00:58:31.400
fishing craft a wide berth.

1138
00:58:31.599 --> 00:58:36.840
Clever, barn y, clever, practical. Is everything in first class condition?

1139
00:58:37.320 --> 00:58:40.320
Everything the diving gear is tight, and the sonar reading's

1140
00:58:40.400 --> 00:58:42.119
check right on the nose of the charts. Then we

1141
00:58:42.199 --> 00:58:44.239
are ready to cast off anytime.

1142
00:58:44.559 --> 00:58:48.400
Then let us go header out west southwest Brown, right

1143
00:58:48.559 --> 00:58:51.199
into the sun, right into the sun.

1144
00:59:02.079 --> 00:59:05.360
In just a moment, we will continue with Escape, but first,

1145
00:59:06.320 --> 00:59:09.679
Groucho Marx Bing Crosby, Doctor Christian and George Burns and

1146
00:59:09.760 --> 00:59:12.159
Gracie Allen will be back with you tomorrow night on

1147
00:59:12.280 --> 00:59:16.039
most of these same CBS stations. Al Jolson will join

1148
00:59:16.159 --> 00:59:19.239
being in another of their unparalleled exhibits of wit and song.

1149
00:59:19.760 --> 00:59:22.679
George Jessel will be the special guest of George and Gracie.

1150
00:59:23.199 --> 00:59:26.599
Stay tuned to CBS for this wonderful midweek Wednesday night listening.

1151
00:59:27.639 --> 00:59:31.079
Now we return you to the second act of Escape.

1152
00:59:39.320 --> 00:59:41.519
Three weeks at sea taught me a lot about my

1153
00:59:41.639 --> 00:59:45.559
friend Lee. His switch from landlover to combetant mariner was

1154
00:59:45.679 --> 00:59:49.400
too fast to be convincing. Something about the whole setup

1155
00:59:49.480 --> 00:59:52.519
spoil the taste of my whiskey. The only way it

1156
00:59:52.639 --> 00:59:55.119
figured was that he really did me to need me

1157
00:59:55.239 --> 00:59:59.519
to operate the gear. Beyond that, beyond that the picture

1158
00:59:59.599 --> 01:00:02.320
change from the first day out. He showed too much

1159
01:00:02.400 --> 01:00:05.320
interest in the sonar equipment Brown.

1160
01:00:05.480 --> 01:00:08.039
I think it might be prudent if you were to

1161
01:00:08.119 --> 01:00:11.639
teach me the operation of this instrument? Is it very difficult?

1162
01:00:12.039 --> 01:00:12.840
Just the operation?

1163
01:00:13.400 --> 01:00:15.760
Oh, it's something anyone can pick up in five or

1164
01:00:15.840 --> 01:00:17.480
six months of full time instruction.

1165
01:00:17.679 --> 01:00:20.000
Surely not to learn just the operation of it.

1166
01:00:20.559 --> 01:00:24.400
It's not only complicatedly but delicate. I think we'd be

1167
01:00:24.480 --> 01:00:26.400
wise to keep it secured until we need it.

1168
01:00:26.599 --> 01:00:30.320
Perhaps, yes, perhaps it won't be very long Brown.

1169
01:00:30.840 --> 01:00:32.320
When are you going to break out the charts with

1170
01:00:32.400 --> 01:00:34.119
the position of the stuff in due time?

1171
01:00:34.239 --> 01:00:34.480
Bron?

1172
01:00:34.880 --> 01:00:37.559
And I'll need it when we start taking soundings.

1173
01:00:37.360 --> 01:00:40.360
Then you shall have it. It wouldn't be prudent to

1174
01:00:40.440 --> 01:00:43.280
a surrender chart that I have been foced to defend

1175
01:00:43.320 --> 01:00:45.239
with my very life, would it, Bron?

1176
01:00:45.880 --> 01:00:46.840
I get your point.

1177
01:00:47.159 --> 01:00:50.840
I might add, Bron, that the chart alone is useless

1178
01:00:50.880 --> 01:00:55.039
to anyone but me. The exact position is not indicated.

1179
01:00:56.079 --> 01:00:59.280
I took the precaution of committing it to memory lest

1180
01:00:59.320 --> 01:01:03.760
the chart should be misplaced. The only value of the

1181
01:01:03.880 --> 01:01:06.440
chart is that it indicates sounding lines.

1182
01:01:07.079 --> 01:01:11.400
That makes your position clear enough. What about Casta? Do

1183
01:01:11.519 --> 01:01:13.639
you think he might be dangerous when he finds out

1184
01:01:13.679 --> 01:01:16.039
what we're really after. For a man to be dangerous,

1185
01:01:16.239 --> 01:01:19.880
you must first be intelligent. Casta is ignorant. He will

1186
01:01:19.960 --> 01:01:23.039
stay ignorant. Sooner or later he's gonna get wise.

1187
01:01:23.280 --> 01:01:26.880
Fortunately, Casta is not equipped to get wise, as you say.

1188
01:01:27.599 --> 01:01:31.000
He is happy in ignorance. We will not expose him

1189
01:01:31.079 --> 01:01:35.679
to the curse. Agreed. What's your plan to turn the

1190
01:01:35.719 --> 01:01:38.880
wheel of fortune to my own needs? We must be

1191
01:01:38.960 --> 01:01:42.840
a practical brown. A person such as Casta leaves little

1192
01:01:42.960 --> 01:01:46.320
impression on the world. He will never be missed. If

1193
01:01:46.360 --> 01:01:53.079
he were to disappear, faith will save him from the curse. Agreed.

1194
01:01:59.280 --> 01:02:02.119
Late afternoon of the twenty second day, I saw these

1195
01:02:02.280 --> 01:02:07.440
methods put into practice, cold, efficient, ruthless practice. It happened

1196
01:02:07.519 --> 01:02:09.760
so fast I was helpless to do anything about it.

1197
01:02:10.760 --> 01:02:13.159
Costa was splayed out on the nets near the stern,

1198
01:02:13.320 --> 01:02:17.679
sound asleep when Lee appeared from nowhere. Without warning, Lee

1199
01:02:17.760 --> 01:02:22.639
let fly a vicious kick. Costa's blade flashed. Lee stood

1200
01:02:22.679 --> 01:02:26.239
motionless until Costa closed. Then Lee grabbed Costa's knife hand

1201
01:02:26.360 --> 01:02:28.800
and whirled, twisting Costa's arm into a lever and using

1202
01:02:28.840 --> 01:02:31.719
the momentum his rush, cost him effortlessly over the rail

1203
01:02:31.760 --> 01:02:41.079
to disappear on the swirling wake. Without even glancing as stern,

1204
01:02:41.199 --> 01:02:43.639
Lee gave me the arm signal for straight ahead, a

1205
01:02:43.760 --> 01:02:48.320
signal that pointed accusingly at me, screaming accomplice. His face

1206
01:02:48.519 --> 01:02:51.199
was still frozen in trance like serenity when he appeared

1207
01:02:51.239 --> 01:02:51.719
on the bridge.

1208
01:02:52.000 --> 01:02:57.039
It is now you and I Brown, Yeah, these things

1209
01:02:57.079 --> 01:03:00.880
are just testeful. But on the other handbron itself can

1210
01:03:01.000 --> 01:03:02.280
be distasteful.

1211
01:03:02.920 --> 01:03:05.239
Wasn't there some other way to handle it? Couldn't we

1212
01:03:05.280 --> 01:03:06.760
have put him off somewhere in the island.

1213
01:03:06.679 --> 01:03:09.920
Your whole life into high esteam Brown. We could have

1214
01:03:09.960 --> 01:03:12.639
put him off at some islands. But then, Braun, we

1215
01:03:12.719 --> 01:03:16.000
would have had to wonder about his welfare. Now his

1216
01:03:16.159 --> 01:03:19.639
troubles are over, he has peace. He no longer has

1217
01:03:19.679 --> 01:03:21.000
to struggle as you and I.

1218
01:03:21.719 --> 01:03:23.960
He didn't have much chance to struggle, did he Lee.

1219
01:03:24.639 --> 01:03:28.719
He was not one to struggle intelligently Bron. Struggling not

1220
01:03:28.960 --> 01:03:30.800
directed by intelligence can.

1221
01:03:30.880 --> 01:03:34.440
Destroy Where is strength muscle fit in the theory?

1222
01:03:34.800 --> 01:03:38.280
If you will pardon a personal reference, Brown, I long

1223
01:03:38.320 --> 01:03:41.599
ago subscribe to the teachings of an Eastern cult, which

1224
01:03:41.719 --> 01:03:47.159
believes that the intellectual neutralizes the physical. Therefore, there is

1225
01:03:47.280 --> 01:03:51.199
no difference in stature among men, only a difference in

1226
01:03:51.320 --> 01:03:56.199
mental power. We do not destroy. We merely expedite the

1227
01:03:56.320 --> 01:04:01.760
adversary's self destruction by his own weakness costa's temper. Huh,

1228
01:04:02.039 --> 01:04:06.480
exactly one does not think in temper. He merely acts

1229
01:04:06.880 --> 01:04:11.320
and so destroys himself. No, I make myself clear.

1230
01:04:11.599 --> 01:04:21.280
Not especially, but I'll think it over. Lee's insidious philosophy

1231
01:04:21.360 --> 01:04:24.559
began to prey on my mind. I knew I was

1232
01:04:24.639 --> 01:04:27.679
on the last leg of a one way trip. I

1233
01:04:27.840 --> 01:04:30.320
knew he was perfectly competent to take over the ship

1234
01:04:30.360 --> 01:04:34.599
at any time, but I still felt reasonably safe. It

1235
01:04:34.639 --> 01:04:37.119
would take two men to handle the instruments, to locate

1236
01:04:37.159 --> 01:04:40.000
the pearls, and beyond that, two men to get the

1237
01:04:40.039 --> 01:04:44.000
stuff up. After that, I would worry about my failings,

1238
01:04:44.079 --> 01:04:46.719
in which one Lee would pick to destroy me. I

1239
01:04:46.840 --> 01:04:49.360
eliminated the big one by tossing my last two bottles

1240
01:04:49.360 --> 01:04:55.840
of whiskey overboard. We were cruising somewhere between the Lower

1241
01:04:55.920 --> 01:04:59.679
Sulu Archipelago in the northeast corner of Borneo when Lee

1242
01:04:59.760 --> 01:05:02.480
broke got a dog eared chart of Dutch origin.

1243
01:05:02.760 --> 01:05:08.199
Got it back bron No, somewhere within the radius of

1244
01:05:08.280 --> 01:05:11.239
this circle. How fuchun waitstill be taken?

1245
01:05:11.519 --> 01:05:15.599
And let's see the charts indicate a sandy bottom. That's good.

1246
01:05:16.239 --> 01:05:19.880
The currents go southwest. She falls off the deeper water

1247
01:05:20.000 --> 01:05:20.440
to the south.

1248
01:05:20.559 --> 01:05:23.960
I understand the charts. Bron start the soundings, man.

1249
01:05:24.159 --> 01:05:27.320
Okay, I'll start here at the sixty fathom line and

1250
01:05:27.360 --> 01:05:30.199
work towards shallower water. You stand at the bow with

1251
01:05:30.280 --> 01:05:32.719
the smoke flare. If I pick up anything, heave a

1252
01:05:32.760 --> 01:05:33.920
flare over the market. Okay.

1253
01:05:34.559 --> 01:05:37.639
I prefer to stay on the bridge with you. Brh

1254
01:05:38.559 --> 01:05:39.519
yeah yeah.

1255
01:05:39.559 --> 01:05:44.039
That way we can watch the instruments and each other. Okay, partner.

1256
01:05:47.760 --> 01:05:49.760
I worked each depth line half a mile from the

1257
01:05:49.800 --> 01:05:53.360
point we established a center, staying parallel to the soundings

1258
01:05:53.360 --> 01:05:56.880
indicated on the chart. Three times over, the area showed

1259
01:05:56.960 --> 01:05:59.800
nothing but a uniform bottom. Then I took a new

1260
01:06:00.840 --> 01:06:03.159
I set the wheel in a tight circle and secured

1261
01:06:03.199 --> 01:06:05.639
it with a lanyard. I figured the current and the

1262
01:06:05.719 --> 01:06:07.679
torque of the shaft would take us far enough off

1263
01:06:07.760 --> 01:06:10.280
center on each spiral that we wouldn't miss anything big

1264
01:06:10.400 --> 01:06:13.800
enough to register. I was beginning to think in circles

1265
01:06:14.039 --> 01:06:16.559
when the scope showed a fast drop and then wavered radically.

1266
01:06:17.039 --> 01:06:18.440
Lee must have read it in my face.

1267
01:06:18.599 --> 01:06:21.639
It shot something, didn't it? We have found something, haven't we.

1268
01:06:21.719 --> 01:06:24.360
Brown, Maybe, what are you going to do? Back it

1269
01:06:24.440 --> 01:06:24.960
down and check it?

1270
01:06:25.000 --> 01:06:25.119
Oh?

1271
01:06:25.159 --> 01:06:28.679
No, no, drop the anchor. We won't move. We take

1272
01:06:28.800 --> 01:06:31.360
no chances of losing it. Drop the anchor.

1273
01:06:34.239 --> 01:06:36.559
I settled her bow into the current, dropped the hook,

1274
01:06:36.599 --> 01:06:38.519
and backed her down on the scope of the anchorchain

1275
01:06:38.679 --> 01:06:41.960
until we were over the spot. Lee expertly rigged the

1276
01:06:42.000 --> 01:06:44.400
line from the cargo boom to the cathead and hoisted

1277
01:06:44.400 --> 01:06:47.119
the heavy diving gear out of the after hole. His

1278
01:06:47.280 --> 01:06:48.960
expression left no question as to.

1279
01:06:48.960 --> 01:06:49.920
The division of labor.

1280
01:06:50.159 --> 01:06:52.559
Of course you will make the dive Brown.

1281
01:06:53.280 --> 01:06:53.480
Yeah.

1282
01:06:54.239 --> 01:06:57.559
We cannot risk losing a life when two men unnecessary

1283
01:06:57.719 --> 01:06:58.719
to complete this mission?

1284
01:06:59.039 --> 01:07:00.920
Can I not your lifely?

1285
01:07:01.960 --> 01:07:02.199
Yeah?

1286
01:07:02.599 --> 01:07:05.199
Yeah, I'll go down there. But just in case you

1287
01:07:05.280 --> 01:07:07.960
have any ideas about letting my weaknesses destroy me.

1288
01:07:08.039 --> 01:07:10.960
Oh come now, Braun, You're not falling prey to the

1289
01:07:11.159 --> 01:07:12.559
cuss of greed, are you?

1290
01:07:13.079 --> 01:07:13.119
No?

1291
01:07:13.840 --> 01:07:16.239
And I don't intend to fall prey to anything if

1292
01:07:16.280 --> 01:07:19.840
I can help you don't have faith in me, that's right,

1293
01:07:20.079 --> 01:07:22.760
but you must have faith in me. We must work

1294
01:07:23.000 --> 01:07:26.440
together up until we locate the stuff and get it up.

1295
01:07:27.519 --> 01:07:31.039
After that, Lee, only one man is necessary. That's what

1296
01:07:31.239 --> 01:07:31.760
worries me.

1297
01:07:31.960 --> 01:07:36.280
Mm are you a fred Broun? Does the number among

1298
01:07:36.320 --> 01:07:37.039
your weaknesses?

1299
01:07:37.519 --> 01:07:37.920
Elly?

1300
01:07:38.559 --> 01:07:38.920
It does.

1301
01:07:39.440 --> 01:07:43.199
I don't know how to reassure you, Braun. Do you

1302
01:07:43.400 --> 01:07:44.920
have solution herey?

1303
01:07:45.199 --> 01:07:45.400
I do.

1304
01:07:46.519 --> 01:07:48.639
My life is in your hands while I'm down there.

1305
01:07:49.519 --> 01:07:52.440
Unfortunately for you, my life is the only link you

1306
01:07:52.559 --> 01:07:54.360
have between the pearls and this ship.

1307
01:07:54.719 --> 01:07:57.079
One lare full break that link.

1308
01:07:57.239 --> 01:08:09.679
Bron Lee's words echoed in my helmet as I felt

1309
01:08:09.760 --> 01:08:11.960
myself being lowered from a sheave at the end of

1310
01:08:12.000 --> 01:08:16.399
the cargo boom. Only a fool I knew that I

1311
01:08:16.560 --> 01:08:20.479
was pitted against a ruthless maniac, that finding the pearls

1312
01:08:20.560 --> 01:08:24.279
meant that one of us would die. Yet some power

1313
01:08:24.439 --> 01:08:28.399
greater than reason forced me on, a power I recognized

1314
01:08:28.399 --> 01:08:34.039
as grief. My weighted feet settled on bottom. My headlights

1315
01:08:34.039 --> 01:08:36.439
sent a glaring shaft through the murk, serving only to

1316
01:08:36.520 --> 01:08:40.920
blind me. Then my eyes adapted. Strange shapes darted in

1317
01:08:41.000 --> 01:08:45.399
and out of the beams, splashing big shadows. I pivoted slowly,

1318
01:08:45.560 --> 01:08:48.920
straining my eyes to the burning point. Suddenly the beams

1319
01:08:48.920 --> 01:08:52.600
stopped short and reflected upward in a blinding glare. There

1320
01:08:52.760 --> 01:08:56.079
she lay a slimy hux turned down in the sand,

1321
01:08:56.760 --> 01:09:00.520
her stack and superstructure eroded away, and her places hanging

1322
01:09:00.640 --> 01:09:04.439
scab like from her frames, a death ship washed clean

1323
01:09:04.560 --> 01:09:07.760
by gentle currents. I headed for the quarter deck and

1324
01:09:07.880 --> 01:09:09.800
leaned on the crumbling vestiges of the hatch.

1325
01:09:10.199 --> 01:09:10.800
It fell away.

1326
01:09:11.880 --> 01:09:15.159
My light picked up a single object. There it lay,

1327
01:09:15.880 --> 01:09:19.479
its corners worn round from shifting against the bulkheads. A

1328
01:09:19.640 --> 01:09:23.920
teak wood chest. Brass bindings radiated from its single big

1329
01:09:24.039 --> 01:09:27.279
hinge like the fingers of a giant hand. I felt

1330
01:09:27.319 --> 01:09:30.279
a wave of desire grow into a surge of greed

1331
01:09:30.640 --> 01:09:34.600
and resolve itself into an overpowering lust. A bent a

1332
01:09:34.640 --> 01:09:36.920
line under the chest and signaled lead a halne up.

1333
01:09:38.960 --> 01:09:41.159
I felt as though I was threading my life away

1334
01:09:41.199 --> 01:09:43.000
as I paid out the line that would link the

1335
01:09:43.039 --> 01:09:46.600
treasure with the surface, knowing that only Lee's ignorance of

1336
01:09:46.680 --> 01:09:49.039
what the other end held insured my shedding the heavy

1337
01:09:49.119 --> 01:09:52.359
diving suit safe on deck that would put us on

1338
01:09:52.479 --> 01:09:55.800
even footing. I lost the fear of Lee's methods and

1339
01:09:55.880 --> 01:09:59.479
thought of my own methods, based on greed that knows

1340
01:09:59.520 --> 01:10:05.319
no compart methods of killing to keep. Then my fears passed.

1341
01:10:06.359 --> 01:10:08.800
He couldn't kill me. Until the chest was on deck.

1342
01:10:10.039 --> 01:10:12.520
Lee was like a man waiting for sentence. When I

1343
01:10:12.640 --> 01:10:15.520
climbed out of the diving suit. Well, it's there.

1344
01:10:15.720 --> 01:10:17.800
Describe it. Describe a chest.

1345
01:10:18.039 --> 01:10:21.920
Solid wood, bound in brass. Is that all brass hindes

1346
01:10:22.279 --> 01:10:22.840
like a hand?

1347
01:10:23.159 --> 01:10:27.680
That is it brown? And the Mohammed my reward that last,

1348
01:10:28.199 --> 01:10:29.800
the hand of Mohammed.

1349
01:10:30.000 --> 01:10:35.560
You mean our reward, of course, ah, a reward.

1350
01:10:36.319 --> 01:10:36.479
Yes.

1351
01:10:38.800 --> 01:10:41.239
For a brief second we were two animals standing at

1352
01:10:41.279 --> 01:10:44.520
bay idle eye, appraising each waiting for the other to move.

1353
01:10:45.479 --> 01:10:48.159
Then as one we saw through the cloud of greed

1354
01:10:48.920 --> 01:10:51.840
we still needed each other until a chest was on deck.

1355
01:10:54.039 --> 01:10:55.960
Lee swung the boom on board while I read the

1356
01:10:56.039 --> 01:10:58.239
line attached to the chest through the eye of the sheath.

1357
01:10:58.920 --> 01:11:00.640
He took the running end of the cathead and made

1358
01:11:00.680 --> 01:11:03.479
a turn. His narrowed eyes fixed on me, waiting for

1359
01:11:03.560 --> 01:11:07.640
the signal to haul away. His hands turned white, bloodless

1360
01:11:07.640 --> 01:11:10.000
as he gripped the line. I gave him the signal

1361
01:11:10.039 --> 01:11:12.920
to haul in. The line started easily and take it

1362
01:11:13.039 --> 01:11:15.439
flow all away. We'll stop it at the surface to

1363
01:11:15.560 --> 01:11:19.159
keep the weight off the line. The line threaded through

1364
01:11:19.239 --> 01:11:22.159
the sheave endlessly as time while I strained to catch

1365
01:11:22.199 --> 01:11:25.119
the first glimpse of any bulk in the water. Again,

1366
01:11:25.239 --> 01:11:29.479
I felt the surge of greed I'd experienced below. Unconsciously,

1367
01:11:29.600 --> 01:11:32.960
I drew my sleeve across my mouth. A dark and

1368
01:11:33.079 --> 01:11:35.039
distorted mass showed beneath the surface.

1369
01:11:35.359 --> 01:11:39.119
Flow it down, leafy, Joy, Floyd Downley, clack off, you'll

1370
01:11:39.159 --> 01:11:40.520
break your line, clack off.

1371
01:11:41.760 --> 01:11:43.840
Lee was out of control. The heavy chest lost the

1372
01:11:43.920 --> 01:11:46.119
buoyancy of the water. The strand of the line snapped

1373
01:11:46.119 --> 01:11:47.680
and shot a ragged hand up to the block, but

1374
01:11:47.760 --> 01:11:49.560
it was too late. The chest hit the block and

1375
01:11:49.600 --> 01:11:51.760
the line snapped, clashing the water log wood against the

1376
01:11:51.840 --> 01:11:52.479
ragged metal.

1377
01:11:52.359 --> 01:11:53.039
Of the top side.

1378
01:11:57.439 --> 01:12:00.560
Brass fingers of the giant hand opened to grow tesquely,

1379
01:12:00.800 --> 01:12:03.800
spewing a shower of tumbling beads over the surface of

1380
01:12:03.840 --> 01:12:04.159
the water.

1381
01:12:04.560 --> 01:12:07.039
Joy, your fool, You're American fool.

1382
01:12:07.680 --> 01:12:11.399
Here they are, Lee, look at him, float down, your

1383
01:12:11.479 --> 01:12:13.039
little white seeds of greed.

1384
01:12:13.279 --> 01:12:15.960
Oh well, die, illiot.

1385
01:12:16.279 --> 01:12:18.640
You felt the pearls at the end of that line, Lee,

1386
01:12:19.079 --> 01:12:21.359
They were in your greedy little hands, and you couldn't

1387
01:12:21.439 --> 01:12:24.000
let go. You couldn't slack off on the line.

1388
01:12:24.039 --> 01:12:25.159
You couldn't let go, could you?

1389
01:12:25.520 --> 01:12:27.520
So the hand of MOI Hammad sowed the ocean with

1390
01:12:27.640 --> 01:12:28.800
little seeds of green.

1391
01:12:28.920 --> 01:12:30.000
You would pay brown.

1392
01:12:30.359 --> 01:12:31.079
Hey, we are you alive?

1393
01:12:31.439 --> 01:12:34.640
All right, intelligent one, there are no odds. Pick a

1394
01:12:34.680 --> 01:12:38.039
weakness and destroy me. Take your choice. Come on, you

1395
01:12:38.479 --> 01:12:42.560
well die dog and came toward me slowly. Then he

1396
01:12:42.680 --> 01:12:45.520
drew back right foot poised. I was ready for it.

1397
01:12:45.920 --> 01:12:48.359
But instead of the kick, his thumb shot out at

1398
01:12:48.399 --> 01:12:50.960
my eyes, pushing jagged nerve ends right into my brain.

1399
01:12:51.720 --> 01:12:53.159
Blind instinct told me to swing.

1400
01:12:53.199 --> 01:12:53.960
What I knew where he was.

1401
01:12:54.039 --> 01:12:55.520
You're die not yetly?

1402
01:12:56.880 --> 01:13:00.800
I like that lecked by a blind the right fist.

1403
01:13:02.800 --> 01:13:03.840
How do you like this lead?

1404
01:13:04.479 --> 01:13:05.880
How do you like my thumbs?

1405
01:13:06.560 --> 01:13:08.840
How do you like a mashing in your master throat?

1406
01:13:09.840 --> 01:13:12.000
You're getting weakerly weaker?

1407
01:13:13.039 --> 01:13:14.199
Where's your metal power?

1408
01:13:14.319 --> 01:13:14.399
Now?

1409
01:13:14.560 --> 01:13:15.960
Leave gone?

1410
01:13:16.119 --> 01:13:17.560
Is it dead?

1411
01:13:28.840 --> 01:13:29.039
Yeah?

1412
01:13:30.239 --> 01:13:34.760
The tropical Pacific, general Pacific rocking me to death and

1413
01:13:34.880 --> 01:13:40.439
a cradle of rusty steel. Maybe it's spring or summer

1414
01:13:41.239 --> 01:13:46.640
or day or night? Breeze is gentle scent to soothe

1415
01:13:47.920 --> 01:13:53.760
my eye is no longer pain? Yeah, it's gentle. Such gentleness,

1416
01:13:54.920 --> 01:13:58.000
such maddening, unbearable gentleness.

1417
01:14:05.239 --> 01:14:07.479
Escape is produced and directed by William M.

1418
01:14:07.560 --> 01:14:08.000
Robson.

1419
01:14:08.279 --> 01:14:11.159
Tonight we have presented Seeds of Greed by Freud A.

1420
01:14:11.319 --> 01:14:14.199
Nelson beatured in the cast where Gary Merrill is Brown,

1421
01:14:14.560 --> 01:14:18.079
Ben Right is Lee, Bill Conrad as Casey, and Tony

1422
01:14:18.119 --> 01:14:21.479
Barrett is Costa. Special music was arranged and conducted by

1423
01:14:21.600 --> 01:14:22.399
Del Castillio.

1424
01:14:24.640 --> 01:14:29.039
Ah, yes, please please have another cup of tea. It

1425
01:14:29.159 --> 01:14:31.960
gets so cold in the fall months, but it's so

1426
01:14:32.840 --> 01:14:37.079
delightful to warm back up. I'll find you a blanket

1427
01:14:37.119 --> 01:14:40.720
here in a moment as well. Nothing beats a cozy

1428
01:14:40.840 --> 01:14:47.359
night in feeling a little fearful and fun. And we

1429
01:14:47.520 --> 01:14:53.239
have all of that and so much more. What is

1430
01:14:53.359 --> 01:14:59.319
that South? Do you hear that? A little skittering racket

1431
01:15:00.800 --> 01:15:07.560
moving around the dark empty space? I hope it's not there,

1432
01:15:08.720 --> 01:15:12.800
but it can't be there. No, no, no, I should

1433
01:15:12.840 --> 01:15:17.319
calm myself. I'm sure it's only a.

1434
01:15:17.439 --> 01:15:38.319
Spider iron IDs to prevent light out. Everybody h is

1435
01:15:40.479 --> 01:15:45.800
later and you're.

1436
01:15:48.000 --> 01:15:50.640
In h.

1437
01:15:57.359 --> 01:16:00.319
Light out brings you a story to the supernatural and

1438
01:16:00.439 --> 01:16:04.239
the super normal, dramatizing with sentences and the mysteries of

1439
01:16:04.319 --> 01:16:08.279
the unknown. We tell you this frankly, so if you

1440
01:16:08.319 --> 01:16:11.920
wish to avoid the excitement and tension of these imaginative plays.

1441
01:16:12.880 --> 01:16:19.680
We urge you, calmly but sincerely, to turn off your radio. Now,

1442
01:16:24.840 --> 01:16:25.960
this is our joblers.

1443
01:16:26.920 --> 01:16:29.119
In these days the jungles are full of wine, of

1444
01:16:29.239 --> 01:16:32.399
machine gun bullets, and with twenty five caliber automatic rifles.

1445
01:16:33.319 --> 01:16:35.119
There was a time, though, when the sound of the

1446
01:16:35.199 --> 01:16:37.279
jungle was out of insects and the raucous call of

1447
01:16:37.479 --> 01:16:41.159
jungle birds, and when into the tropical forests for high

1448
01:16:41.159 --> 01:16:44.760
adventures or to make money. It's of these times that

1449
01:16:44.840 --> 01:17:03.520
our story is tonight, and now light out, everybody. The

1450
01:17:03.720 --> 01:17:05.800
young girls of the leap around my farm.

1451
01:17:12.279 --> 01:17:14.079
That three like that tree.

1452
01:17:14.399 --> 01:17:20.119
You don't have to show I look, look look.

1453
01:17:20.000 --> 01:17:23.560
At it, like that atherttle butterfly, because these wings, look

1454
01:17:23.560 --> 01:17:23.880
at them.

1455
01:17:24.079 --> 01:17:26.199
They never had wings big as an airplane. To take

1456
01:17:26.279 --> 01:17:27.239
us out of this hair hole.

1457
01:17:27.479 --> 01:17:29.079
I bet I'll get ten franks for this one.

1458
01:17:29.640 --> 01:17:30.800
If we get out of the jungle.

1459
01:17:31.239 --> 01:17:32.000
Oh, I'll get out.

1460
01:17:33.239 --> 01:17:36.359
I mean, we wouldn't leave me here. What see?

1461
01:17:37.119 --> 01:17:38.439
You get in this with me and you'll get out

1462
01:17:38.560 --> 01:17:44.840
with me. It's good to sit down until the end

1463
01:17:45.079 --> 01:17:45.960
beginning to feat you.

1464
01:17:46.439 --> 01:17:47.119
Cut it that with it?

1465
01:17:47.239 --> 01:17:48.279
Can't you do anything but sing?

1466
01:17:48.359 --> 01:17:48.760
That blows?

1467
01:17:49.039 --> 01:17:51.520
I suppose I should be happy, should sing a song

1468
01:17:51.600 --> 01:17:53.520
because the sun has burning me up because he didn't

1469
01:17:53.560 --> 01:17:54.199
take to bite me.

1470
01:17:54.560 --> 01:17:56.520
Because I'm here in this devilce hole, have the word

1471
01:17:56.560 --> 01:18:00.399
away from my home, cut out like I better than you.

1472
01:18:00.880 --> 01:18:03.479
Is the only chancey catching these bugs, that only chance

1473
01:18:03.520 --> 01:18:04.039
to get a dog and.

1474
01:18:04.039 --> 01:18:04.479
Get out of here.

1475
01:18:04.520 --> 01:18:07.000
But the sun bigger suns, and they called are working.

1476
01:18:06.840 --> 01:18:09.680
On the mind biga suns, and they called us sitting

1477
01:18:09.680 --> 01:18:11.439
out there on the beach carrying, And how every time

1478
01:18:11.479 --> 01:18:14.920
you see a boat heading back, tell you, Dixie, the

1479
01:18:15.000 --> 01:18:16.720
jungle is the only chance we had to get out

1480
01:18:16.720 --> 01:18:21.960
of here. And by the devil, I'm taking it. And yeah,

1481
01:18:22.079 --> 01:18:26.479
you're right, I know it's just you say. Our only change.

1482
01:18:26.680 --> 01:18:28.760
Sure it is not a snap out of it. A

1483
01:18:28.920 --> 01:18:30.560
couple of days like this one would have caught a

1484
01:18:30.600 --> 01:18:31.680
number these bugs to head.

1485
01:18:31.560 --> 01:18:35.079
Back to the coast. But would we get through this?

1486
01:18:35.279 --> 01:18:37.199
And Dixie, when I say I'm getting out of here,

1487
01:18:37.239 --> 01:18:37.920
I'm getting out.

1488
01:18:38.079 --> 01:18:39.920
But the need is, how did I tell you?

1489
01:18:40.239 --> 01:18:41.279
Nothing's gonna stop me?

1490
01:18:41.479 --> 01:18:42.760
But if we do good out? How do we know

1491
01:18:42.880 --> 01:18:44.800
that mister Runnette will buy the butterflies?

1492
01:18:45.239 --> 01:18:48.680
And he said he wouldn't there, Oh what a man says, Yeah,

1493
01:18:49.279 --> 01:18:51.319
why shouldn't he buy him gives us a frank a

1494
01:18:51.359 --> 01:18:52.960
piece and then sells them all over the world.

1495
01:18:52.800 --> 01:18:54.720
For plenty of though, But who would wish money on

1496
01:18:54.800 --> 01:18:55.319
such things?

1497
01:18:55.560 --> 01:18:56.600
Don't you know nothing?

1498
01:18:57.239 --> 01:19:00.319
Schools, museums, they pay plenty of dough, but these jungle

1499
01:19:00.359 --> 01:19:02.439
But but what shouldn't get him a gatlin t?

1500
01:19:03.560 --> 01:19:03.720
Yeah?

1501
01:19:03.800 --> 01:19:05.680
Hot enough without you shoot him out top all of it?

1502
01:19:05.800 --> 01:19:08.600
All the time, I still like, I don't forget.

1503
01:19:08.399 --> 01:19:14.119
It, alright, I don't forget about.

1504
01:19:19.039 --> 01:19:19.079
You.

1505
01:19:20.159 --> 01:19:24.239
Yeah, the senior left, You're still bunny, you laugh, that's

1506
01:19:24.319 --> 01:19:27.319
you're thinking what I think.

1507
01:19:27.199 --> 01:19:28.000
Of what you said before.

1508
01:19:28.079 --> 01:19:30.039
But a butterfly with wings like an aeroplane.

1509
01:19:30.199 --> 01:19:34.880
Yeah, funny, And two big guys like you and me,

1510
01:19:35.520 --> 01:19:38.199
guys are shot that works from arsenal murder, both of

1511
01:19:38.319 --> 01:19:40.600
us dependent on what they get us out of the

1512
01:19:40.680 --> 01:19:43.119
jungle on the back of where we came from, and

1513
01:19:43.319 --> 01:19:45.520
full of blue and red and purple butterfly.

1514
01:19:46.119 --> 01:19:48.560
Yeah, that's whee it is. I mean, funny hand.

1515
01:19:49.880 --> 01:19:51.680
Anybody told me a couple of years ago i'd be

1516
01:19:51.760 --> 01:19:53.239
chasing bugs that I slugged him.

1517
01:19:56.000 --> 01:20:01.199
The bugs did all a chance I got now introd. Yeah,

1518
01:20:01.239 --> 01:20:02.079
that's a funny thing.

1519
01:20:02.399 --> 01:20:04.479
When I was a kid, I used to chase butterflies too,

1520
01:20:05.640 --> 01:20:07.520
dinky little white ones all around.

1521
01:20:07.319 --> 01:20:10.920
The empty lot, and vaca me that no matter what

1522
01:20:11.000 --> 01:20:13.560
you they say, why do you stay at it here?

1523
01:20:14.680 --> 01:20:15.279
You didn't see it?

1524
01:20:15.880 --> 01:20:21.000
You see? Why? What does that say with it? Ladies?

1525
01:20:21.560 --> 01:20:21.600
No?

1526
01:20:22.960 --> 01:20:23.319
And why?

1527
01:20:25.199 --> 01:20:25.600
And why?

1528
01:20:26.520 --> 01:20:31.319
Come behind that crew? He looked out at me, he's

1529
01:20:32.800 --> 01:20:35.680
all you're talking about it? Who looked out at you?

1530
01:20:37.239 --> 01:20:41.960
A spider and the sink it was as large as

1531

They say such creatures can live for a long time

1619
01:26:56.479 --> 01:26:59.600
without eating, but not one that size. I figured I

1620
01:26:59.640 --> 01:27:02.199
sent down out there in that sun all day. Well,

1621
01:27:02.359 --> 01:27:04.039
in about a week, it won't care much whatever we

1622
01:27:04.159 --> 01:27:10.720
do with it. Oh, how could such a creature be?

1623
01:27:11.199 --> 01:27:13.119

But such a spider. It's there, that's all it means,

1625
01:27:17.920 --> 01:27:21.239
anything to make. But such a giant creature, I say,

1626
01:27:22.039 --> 01:27:25.279
it's a giant. Well he was seeing giant human beings

1627
01:27:25.319 --> 01:27:27.720

1701
01:34:23.079 --> 01:34:25.239
get better. I will get away, yet, I will I.

1702
01:34:28.960 --> 01:34:30.039

1703
01:34:32.319 --> 01:34:37.840

Then why did they? Whether is the spider going to.

1707
01:35:08.880 --> 01:35:14.319
Spending the web over him, turning him around and around

1708
01:35:14.439 --> 01:35:31.640
with the fly covering him with that thick silk, spinning

1709
01:35:31.840 --> 01:35:40.960
the web of the silk over and drove sleep Son borning.

1710

01:36:18.000 --> 01:36:21.800
a funny nightmare to tell you, Joe, Why do you

1722
01:36:23.560 --> 01:36:24.880
Why do you just look at me?

1723
01:36:26.079 --> 01:36:28.880
Your eyes the sun shines on them, they hurt me.

1724
01:36:30.399 --> 01:36:33.720
Don't look at me like that, Joe, your eyes so dark,

1725
01:36:34.000 --> 01:36:39.079
so big, I said, closer, closer, my friend, come closer.

1726
01:36:39.680 --> 01:36:41.159
I have such a happy thing.

1727
01:36:41.079 --> 01:36:42.159
To tell you. Closer.

1728
01:36:43.039 --> 01:36:46.880
I hey, I like what your eyes are singing to me.

1729
01:36:47.079 --> 01:36:54.560

Why do you grab my arm? The other hand, my

1734
01:37:12.560 --> 01:37:16.079
other arm. Why do your fingers hold my arm so

1735
01:37:16.319 --> 01:37:20.560
tight they hurt me? Another arm on my shoulder, Joe,

1736
01:37:21.920 --> 01:37:25.000
Another arm holding my neck, Shoe, So many arms?

1737
01:37:25.039 --> 01:37:25.560
How can it be?

1738
01:37:26.680 --> 01:37:26.880
Joe?

1739
01:37:26.960 --> 01:37:27.439
It is you.

1743
01:37:34.800 --> 01:37:35.000

01:37:49.800 --> 01:38:10.119
Sphy You are the spider, the spider. Your eyes cooled me,

1749
01:38:10.239 --> 01:38:14.359
didn't They made me think I was seeing joke? But

1750
01:38:14.760 --> 01:38:20.119
all the time it was you, mister spider. My wonderful

1751
01:38:20.239 --> 01:38:28.079
eyes you have, mister Spider. I'm not afraid anymore. They're

1752
01:38:28.199 --> 01:38:34.039
not a joke. Your black arms for me close. I

1753
01:38:34.279 --> 01:38:40.079
see the poison dipping from your fangs, but I'm not afraid.

1754
01:38:42.239 --> 01:38:47.760
It's very funny when the worst thing really happens. You're

1755
01:38:47.840 --> 01:39:01.000
not afraid. I'm not afraid your fangs closer, closer, I'm another,

1756
01:39:01.079 --> 01:39:08.319
said sepp.

1757
01:39:19.359 --> 01:39:22.319
Oh, so we're what tomorrow is the night story Stay

1758
01:39:22.319 --> 01:39:27.479
away from fighters and especially from black widows. Oh, frank

1759
01:39:27.520 --> 01:39:30.479
eye story tonight with justin fun which reminds me of vacations,

1760
01:39:30.560 --> 01:39:32.119
of which stew of it they're going to have any

1761
01:39:32.159 --> 01:39:35.119
this year. And speaking of vacations, I'd like to tell

1762
01:39:35.119 --> 01:39:38.119
you about a very amazing vacation I once had editing

1763
01:39:38.199 --> 01:39:41.159
haunted houses. And after that vacation, I was badly in

1764
01:39:41.239 --> 01:39:45.119
need of something. Our government wants us very much these days. Nurses,

1765
01:39:46.000 --> 01:39:48.359
I hear some facts and please listen because they concern

1766
01:39:48.399 --> 01:39:51.920
each of you. Unless the nurse part of the entire

1767
01:39:52.039 --> 01:39:55.319
nation is reinforced by the enrollment of sixty five thousand

1768
01:39:55.359 --> 01:39:58.760
students and schools of nursing for nineteen forty three, all

1769
01:39:58.800 --> 01:40:02.720
of us face a real threat civilian health. Therefore, beginning

1770
01:40:02.760 --> 01:40:06.039
immediately and continuing through the spring and summer months, nursing

1771
01:40:06.119 --> 01:40:10.399
must be considered America's number one woman power shortage. I'd

1772
01:40:10.479 --> 01:40:14.760
like to say some words that the government said sixty

1773
01:40:14.880 --> 01:40:18.760
five thousand young women must dedicate their lives so that

1774
01:40:18.920 --> 01:40:23.279
others might live. Now about haunted houses, Well, I visited

1775
01:40:23.359 --> 01:40:26.439
all the legendary haunt up in New England. But well

1776
01:40:26.880 --> 01:40:29.319
I went through the moss covered old piles and queakie

1777
01:40:29.359 --> 01:40:32.720
Florida structures and weather beaten homes and all the places

1778
01:40:32.760 --> 01:40:34.960
where the souls of the unhappy that part are supposed to.

1779
01:40:35.000 --> 01:40:38.399
Walk through the knife. What happened? I collected a violin

1780
01:40:38.520 --> 01:40:41.039
coal and met a little old lady. O who she?

1781
01:40:41.560 --> 01:40:43.319
Well you meet her next week and a play ty

1782
01:40:43.399 --> 01:40:45.520
little old lady. And to all of you, I have

1783
01:40:45.520 --> 01:40:48.800
a very very cordial invitation to her, an amazing little

1784
01:40:48.800 --> 01:40:52.119
old lady next week. Yes, you had next Tuesday again

1785
01:40:52.159 --> 01:40:53.640
for octoberler Zery story.

1786
01:40:53.920 --> 01:40:55.000
Little old lady.

1787
01:40:58.239 --> 01:40:59.720
Is later.

1788
01:41:01.159 --> 01:41:11.000
M Ah, very good.

1789
01:41:12.119 --> 01:41:14.960
The tea is almost hot enough to steep.

1790
01:41:16.239 --> 01:41:16.960
There we go there.

1791
01:41:18.079 --> 01:41:21.640
Well, I suppose I'll find something else for us to

1792
01:41:22.560 --> 01:41:30.079
fear while we wait. Sorry about panicking a little bit earlier.

1793
01:41:31.640 --> 01:41:35.840
I suppose this time of year, when people like me

1794
01:41:36.119 --> 01:41:43.520
have more will, it can actually lead to as much

1795
01:41:43.640 --> 01:41:49.199
fear as elation. Ah. The tea is it's good. Now

1796
01:41:50.079 --> 01:41:56.800
here have some. It's delicious, it's warm, it's inviting, it's

1797
01:41:57.000 --> 01:42:01.159
kind it's like drinking from Death's goblet.

1798
01:42:10.920 --> 01:42:14.239
Murder at midnight.

1799
01:42:18.680 --> 01:42:21.880
They'll hang me like a common criminal. And I didn't

1800
01:42:21.920 --> 01:42:22.560
mean it, you know, I.

1801
01:42:22.560 --> 01:42:25.560
Didn't both stop finding Gerald, take your medicine like a man.

1802
01:42:25.760 --> 01:42:30.000
What all right, Harvey House, Stop you're responsible for the

1803
01:42:30.039 --> 01:42:31.119
whole thing, you know you are.

1804
01:42:31.640 --> 01:42:34.760
And since they can only hang me once, even for tool.

1805
01:42:34.640 --> 01:42:43.159
Murders, Midnight, the witching hour, when the night is darkest,

1806
01:42:43.640 --> 01:42:47.439
our fears the strongest, and our strength and it's lowest

1807
01:42:47.600 --> 01:42:55.079
him midnight, when the graves gave open and death strikes.

1808
01:42:56.199 --> 01:42:59.520
How you learn the answer in just a minute In

1809
01:43:00.760 --> 01:43:26.039
Death's Goblets and now Murder at Midnight Tales of Mystery

1810
01:43:26.119 --> 01:43:30.039
and Terror by Radio's Masters of the macab Our story

1811
01:43:30.199 --> 01:43:33.760
by Sigmund Miller is Death's Goblets.

1812
01:43:38.319 --> 01:43:42.119
It all began at one of Arthur Cunningham's parties. He

1813
01:43:42.199 --> 01:43:44.000
always gave a party when he came back from one

1814
01:43:44.039 --> 01:43:47.520
of his trips abroad. I went there with Gerald, my partner,

1815
01:43:47.600 --> 01:43:53.720
and his wife, Susan. Beautiful Susan. Did I care for her?

1816
01:43:55.199 --> 01:43:57.560
People used to say so, But she was too self

1817
01:43:57.640 --> 01:44:00.319
centered a woman for me. And I like to look

1818
01:44:00.399 --> 01:44:02.239
at her just as I like to look at anything.

1819
01:44:02.319 --> 01:44:03.680
That's so lovely.

1820
01:44:04.359 --> 01:44:04.880
That was all.

1821
01:44:05.960 --> 01:44:08.840
As for Gerald, well, he was rich, which was the

1822
01:44:08.920 --> 01:44:11.720
only reason he was my partner. But suppose I start

1823
01:44:11.760 --> 01:44:13.760
at the beginning, at the moment we got to the

1824
01:44:13.840 --> 01:44:18.920
party and Arthur came over. Hell, hello, Harvey, glad you came.

1825
01:44:19.119 --> 01:44:21.840
Wonderful to see you're back, Arthur. You know Gerald and

1826
01:44:21.920 --> 01:44:25.880
his lovely wife. Of course, Hello, lovely wife, Gerald, I

1827
01:44:26.119 --> 01:44:29.800
see you again, Arthur, marvelous, and you're just in time

1828
01:44:29.880 --> 01:44:32.159
for a drink. Let's get away from this mob. Come

1829
01:44:32.199 --> 01:44:34.680
into the study, and so I just opened my last

1830
01:44:34.720 --> 01:44:36.920
bottle of Chateau we Albert, here we are.

1831
01:44:37.960 --> 01:44:40.239
Oh well, someone get the glasses out of the cabinet.

1832
01:44:43.039 --> 01:44:48.920
You hy, what an odd goblet this money?

1833
01:44:49.279 --> 01:44:49.439
Oh?

1834
01:44:50.119 --> 01:44:52.840
Put that one back, Susan, Why what's wrong Arthur?

1835
01:44:53.119 --> 01:44:55.239
Use any of the others, but not that one.

1836
01:44:55.359 --> 01:44:57.079
Oh, I'll be careful of it. If that's what you're

1837
01:44:57.119 --> 01:44:57.640
worried about.

1838
01:44:57.760 --> 01:44:59.880
It's not that I just don't want you to drink.

1839
01:45:00.359 --> 01:45:03.159
What's all a mystery about Arthur? Well, you'd all think

1840
01:45:03.199 --> 01:45:05.960
I was mad if I told you. Take a look

1841
01:45:06.000 --> 01:45:06.239
at it.

1842
01:45:06.439 --> 01:45:08.680
It's a very strange looking Glad.

1843
01:45:08.560 --> 01:45:11.439
Yes, looks a Venetian passively from Murano.

1844
01:45:11.680 --> 01:45:11.960
It is.

1845
01:45:12.439 --> 01:45:14.319
It's red spot here on the side.

1846
01:45:14.560 --> 01:45:17.560
Yes, it's supposed to be a drop of blood. That's

1847
01:45:17.760 --> 01:45:19.359
very odd. How do you know that?

1848
01:45:19.840 --> 01:45:23.159
Well, Gerald, this goblet has a legend, a terrible legend,

1849
01:45:23.680 --> 01:45:24.279
because none of.

1850
01:45:24.279 --> 01:45:26.920
You will believe it. But the story is that anyone

1851
01:45:26.960 --> 01:45:30.199
who drinks from this goblet will kill someone more.

1852
01:45:31.479 --> 01:45:34.159
That's wonderful, and you believe it? Why?

1853
01:45:34.239 --> 01:45:38.399
Yes, Gerald, you see I've had proof, good heavens. I well,

1854
01:45:38.439 --> 01:45:39.960
I once drink from this goblet.

1855
01:45:40.239 --> 01:45:42.520
What you're joking?

1856
01:45:44.039 --> 01:45:46.439
Yes, Susan, it was justifiable homicide.

1857
01:45:46.479 --> 01:45:49.199
But after I drank from it, I did kill someone

1858
01:45:49.479 --> 01:45:51.359
when he was a thief and he attacked me, but

1859
01:45:51.520 --> 01:45:53.600
still I killed him when you never told us about that.

1860
01:45:53.720 --> 01:45:56.000
It's not anything that I care to remember. Particularly.

1861
01:45:56.399 --> 01:46:00.039
How terrible for you, Arthur. Where did you get the god.

1862
01:46:00.439 --> 01:46:02.920
From a murderer? A man who killed his wife they

1863
01:46:02.960 --> 01:46:08.159
were auctioning off his estate. Hmm, extraordinary? May I look

1864
01:46:08.159 --> 01:46:11.960
at the glass, arm, yes, if you like. Everyone stared

1865
01:46:12.000 --> 01:46:13.880
at the goblet in silence as I held it to

1866
01:46:13.960 --> 01:46:17.479
the light. It had a delicate brown tint, reminding me

1867
01:46:17.560 --> 01:46:22.239
of old blood, except that it sparkled and glittered the

1868
01:46:22.319 --> 01:46:24.600
spot of red did looked like a drop of blood

1869
01:46:24.600 --> 01:46:28.039
about to roll down the side. It seemed ridiculous that

1870
01:46:28.159 --> 01:46:31.159
this inanimate object could make men commit murder, And yet

1871
01:46:31.239 --> 01:46:36.520
there was something about it that fascinated me, and suddenly

1872
01:46:36.960 --> 01:46:38.119
I wanted to drink out of it.

1873
01:46:38.680 --> 01:46:41.079
You seem very interested in my goblet, Harvey.

1874
01:46:41.439 --> 01:46:43.119
Yes, will you pour some wine in it for me?

1875
01:46:43.359 --> 01:46:43.399
What?

1876
01:46:44.279 --> 01:46:47.840
No, Harvey, this happens to be one superstition. I believe

1877
01:46:48.279 --> 01:46:50.560
everyone who has ever put his lips to this goblet

1878
01:46:50.640 --> 01:46:53.880
has killed. I don't know why it's so, but it

1879
01:46:54.119 --> 01:46:57.680
is silly, of course, But why are faith no nonsense?

1880
01:46:57.720 --> 01:46:59.560
General nonsense? I'm going to drink out of it.

1881
01:47:00.079 --> 01:47:03.560
To pour the wine yourself, Harvey, all right, I will

1882
01:47:08.079 --> 01:47:12.520
well is health and a long wife.

1883
01:47:12.680 --> 01:47:17.680
Nor, Susan, you shouldn't have done that. You've spilled some

1884
01:47:17.760 --> 01:47:19.960
of Arthur's best burgundy and ruined a good table cloth.

1885
01:47:20.000 --> 01:47:21.920
It doesn't matter. I'm glad you did it, Susan.

1886
01:47:22.079 --> 01:47:24.199
I won't get you or anyone else drink from that glass.

1887
01:47:24.279 --> 01:47:27.000
Strange to get so distressed about a ridiculous legend.

1888
01:47:27.159 --> 01:47:29.319
I don't think murder is ridiculous.

1889
01:47:28.960 --> 01:47:30.359
You know, I'd like to get rid of it.

1890
01:47:30.479 --> 01:47:32.920
I was thinking of destroying it. Well, why don't you

1891
01:47:33.119 --> 01:47:34.680
just fling it against the fireplace?

1892
01:47:34.880 --> 01:47:42.039
So I can't. I've tried several times, but somehow I couldn't. Arthur, Yes,

1893
01:47:43.039 --> 01:47:45.520
how about giving it to me? I'd rather not.

1894
01:47:45.840 --> 01:47:47.680
Come on, you want to get rid of it, and

1895
01:47:48.239 --> 01:47:51.800
I have a fine glass collection I'd like to add

1896
01:47:51.880 --> 01:47:52.079
to it.

1897
01:47:52.439 --> 01:47:55.000
I'll keep it locked up. You'll be sorry. But if

1898
01:47:55.079 --> 01:47:57.479
you want it that badly, Harvey, it's yours.

1899
01:47:57.720 --> 01:47:57.920
Arthur.

1900
01:47:58.000 --> 01:47:59.199
Please don't give it to him.

1901
01:47:59.279 --> 01:48:01.720
Susan, what's the matter with you? You watch over Harvey

1902
01:48:01.760 --> 01:48:03.720
as if well as if as if?

1903
01:48:03.880 --> 01:48:03.920
What?

1904
01:48:04.600 --> 01:48:05.000
Gerald?

1905
01:48:05.479 --> 01:48:07.359
Oh, the whole business is absurd.

1906
01:48:07.600 --> 01:48:09.880
Of course it is, yes, And if I should drink

1907
01:48:09.920 --> 01:48:11.560
out of it and commit a murder, that would be

1908
01:48:11.600 --> 01:48:19.640
the most absurd thing of all. I kept the goblet

1909
01:48:19.680 --> 01:48:22.439
on the mantelpiece in my library, where the lamplight made

1910
01:48:22.479 --> 01:48:26.279
it glitter. I discovered that the red drop was not paint.

1911
01:48:27.159 --> 01:48:33.239
It was ingrained in the glass. Oh, very cleverly. One night,

1912
01:48:33.680 --> 01:48:36.840
both Susan and Gerald were at my home. As we chatted,

1913
01:48:37.199 --> 01:48:40.439
I got up, went to the mantelpiece and idly toyed

1914
01:48:40.520 --> 01:48:41.199
with the goblet.

1915
01:48:42.359 --> 01:48:45.479
Ye goblet, it's the one Arthur.

1916
01:48:45.600 --> 01:48:47.239
Yes, yes, you remember he gave it to me. Why

1917
01:48:47.239 --> 01:48:49.439
don't you smash it? Harvey, get rid of it? Ooh

1918
01:48:49.880 --> 01:48:52.920
gives us all screeps with Gerald.

1919
01:48:53.000 --> 01:48:55.279
You aren't really afraid of a piece of glass, are you.

1920
01:48:56.119 --> 01:48:58.159
You don't believe Arthur's story at all, do you.

1921
01:48:58.239 --> 01:49:00.840
Harvey on the country, Susan and I do believe it,

1922
01:49:01.479 --> 01:49:03.520
but not the way you think.

1923
01:49:03.760 --> 01:49:04.279
What do you mean?

1924
01:49:05.399 --> 01:49:05.560
Well?

1925
01:49:05.600 --> 01:49:08.199
I mean to say, murder is not in the goblet,

1926
01:49:08.960 --> 01:49:13.000
It's in me, in you, even in general.

1927
01:49:13.560 --> 01:49:15.000
A silly thing to say, Harvey.

1928
01:49:15.159 --> 01:49:18.079
Oh, yes, you don't need a magic goblet to commit

1929
01:49:18.119 --> 01:49:21.119
a murder. All you have to do is let yourself go,

1930
01:49:22.199 --> 01:49:25.560
Let go of the civilized controls that tie you up. Why, Gerald,

1931
01:49:25.720 --> 01:49:29.720
if you had cause, you could murder me or even

1932
01:49:29.760 --> 01:49:32.680
your lovely wife. Oh I couldn't kill a fly, Oh,

1933
01:49:33.000 --> 01:49:35.439
but you could if the fly gave you enough trouble. Now, supposing,

1934
01:49:36.199 --> 01:49:40.800
just as an example, supposing that you discovered that Susan

1935
01:49:40.960 --> 01:49:44.199
was really in love with me and only married you

1936
01:49:44.399 --> 01:49:47.600
for your money, wouldn't that make you want a murder?

1937
01:49:48.520 --> 01:49:49.319
You're crazy.

1938
01:49:49.640 --> 01:49:52.760
That's not very funny, Harvey, even you, Susan, not even

1939
01:49:52.800 --> 01:49:55.159
though you have a lovely face and exquisite hands, even

1940
01:49:55.239 --> 01:49:59.239
you could commit murder? Why there must have been times

1941
01:49:59.319 --> 01:50:02.640
when you hated Gerald, only for a moment, of course,

1942
01:50:03.119 --> 01:50:07.039
But in that moment, eh, in that moment, if you

1943
01:50:07.119 --> 01:50:09.319
were not so civilized, dub it, Harvey, why you could

1944
01:50:09.319 --> 01:50:12.720
even put your lovely hands around my throat? Stop at Harvey,

1945
01:50:13.199 --> 01:50:15.319
You're not that important of her? And then just why

1946
01:50:15.359 --> 01:50:16.920
are we on this gruesome subject?

1947
01:50:17.039 --> 01:50:18.399
At Harvey's idea of humor?

1948
01:50:20.479 --> 01:50:23.079
Susan looked at me, a touch of red at the

1949
01:50:23.079 --> 01:50:27.279
point where the cheekbones make the skin taut. She seemed angry,

1950
01:50:27.960 --> 01:50:29.600
but she wasn't really.

1951
01:50:30.840 --> 01:50:32.079
Oh yeah, she loved me.

1952
01:50:32.800 --> 01:50:35.359
I could see it in her face. She looked at

1953
01:50:35.439 --> 01:50:38.119
me for a moment and then dropped her eyes.

1954
01:50:40.119 --> 01:50:41.520
May I look at the goblet, Harvey?

1955
01:50:41.680 --> 01:50:45.439
No, I'm afraid not, Susan. You might accidentally drop it.

1956
01:50:45.600 --> 01:50:46.680
You might be a good idea.

1957
01:50:47.039 --> 01:50:49.239
Well, I have an even better one, Gerald, and that's

1958
01:50:49.279 --> 01:50:51.359
to go home before we get really serious about this

1959
01:50:51.560 --> 01:50:52.279
murder business.

1960
01:50:57.319 --> 01:50:59.920
I sat there staring at the goblet after they left.

1961
01:51:01.319 --> 01:51:05.119
It fascinated me, glittering in the lamplight, and as I

1962
01:51:05.199 --> 01:51:08.439
looked at it, it almost seemed as if the red

1963
01:51:08.560 --> 01:51:16.920
spot of blood was moving, rolling down its side. Why

1964
01:51:17.359 --> 01:51:18.520
Why shouldn't I drink from it?

1965
01:51:19.159 --> 01:51:19.359
Why?

1966
01:51:20.119 --> 01:51:21.279
And before I knew it.

1967
01:51:21.760 --> 01:51:24.039
I'd taken it down and put it on the table.

1968
01:51:24.920 --> 01:51:29.159
I got a bottle of Burgundy, opened it, and I

1969
01:51:29.520 --> 01:51:33.319
poured slowly, filling the goblet just up to the red spot,

1970
01:51:35.119 --> 01:51:42.239
and then I drank from it. Seemed to me that

1971
01:51:42.359 --> 01:51:45.399
the wine had a different taste. Although I had drunk

1972
01:51:45.479 --> 01:51:49.439
this wine often, I knew its tasted well. It was delicious.

1973
01:51:52.359 --> 01:51:57.279
I had another It was heady, and it made me

1974
01:51:57.319 --> 01:52:01.119
a little dizzy. Although I felt fine and free, his

1975
01:52:01.680 --> 01:52:05.680
light and dizzy. But after a while, when the dizziness

1976
01:52:05.680 --> 01:52:08.319
wouldn't go away, I decided to go for a drive,

1977
01:52:08.800 --> 01:52:16.079
even though it was close to midnight. I drove fast.

1978
01:52:16.720 --> 01:52:18.640
The speed and power of the car gave me a

1979
01:52:18.680 --> 01:52:21.920
feeling of great exhilaration. I took the turns at full speed,

1980
01:52:22.359 --> 01:52:26.119
enduring the danger of the sharp curves. Then I came

1981
01:52:26.199 --> 01:52:29.319
to a long, level stretch of row. I pressed down

1982
01:52:29.479 --> 01:52:32.840
hard on the gas. The needle of this pedometer slowly

1983
01:52:32.880 --> 01:52:39.199
moved upward. Sixty seventy eighty eighty five rolled like a

1984
01:52:39.279 --> 01:52:41.359
black ribbon rolled up in front of me, and then

1985
01:52:41.800 --> 01:52:43.760
I suddenly saw him, but it was too late.

1986
01:52:44.399 --> 01:52:45.760
I fronted with my right fetdom.

1987
01:52:45.880 --> 01:52:46.800
He never made a sound.

1988
01:52:47.359 --> 01:52:50.079
The car swerved a little from the impact, my heart

1989
01:52:50.119 --> 01:52:50.680
in my throat.

1990
01:52:51.159 --> 01:52:51.720
I stopped.

1991
01:52:52.399 --> 01:52:56.560
Then I packed up, up.

1992
01:52:58.159 --> 01:53:05.000
Back up, back up to where the body was lying,

1993
01:53:05.840 --> 01:53:08.199
sprawled grotesquely on the edge of the road.

1994
01:53:10.319 --> 01:53:11.720
One look was enough.

1995
01:53:12.760 --> 01:53:16.319
He was dead, but no one had seen the accident.

1996
01:53:17.520 --> 01:53:32.199
I stepped on the gas and drove off Death's Goblet

1997
01:53:33.079 --> 01:53:36.640
and the man who drank from it. A corpse lying

1998
01:53:36.760 --> 01:53:40.039
limp by the side of a lonely road, and the

1999
01:53:40.159 --> 01:53:43.760
car speeding away as the clock strikes twelve four.

2000
01:53:45.279 --> 01:53:49.680
Murder midnight.

2001
01:54:12.760 --> 01:54:17.000
And now back to murder at midnight, Harvey challenged the

2002
01:54:17.119 --> 01:54:20.199
curse of the Goblet and found it true. He had

2003
01:54:20.359 --> 01:54:23.520
just killed a man after drinking from it. Let's listen

2004
01:54:23.560 --> 01:54:27.359
to him as he continues the story of Death's Goblet.

2005
01:54:30.960 --> 01:54:33.560
I knew now that the story of the Goblet wasn't

2006
01:54:33.600 --> 01:54:36.439
a myth, and I also knew what I was going to.

2007
01:54:36.479 --> 01:54:37.039
Do about it.

2008
01:54:38.439 --> 01:54:41.039
The next night, I got Gerald to come to my

2009
01:54:41.119 --> 01:54:42.039
house to do some work.

2010
01:54:44.399 --> 01:54:47.520
Oh, I can't make heater tail out of your cost.

2011
01:54:47.680 --> 01:54:48.319
Estimates, Harvey.

2012
01:54:48.600 --> 01:54:52.119
Now, really, Gerald, is very simple, Just concentrate. Why can't

2013
01:54:52.159 --> 01:54:54.359
you take care? But like a good fellow, I'm off retired.

2014
01:54:55.079 --> 01:54:57.800
Well, all right, let's stop for a couple of minutes,

2015
01:54:58.520 --> 01:54:59.039
have a drink.

2016
01:55:00.439 --> 01:55:04.159
What are you doing, Harvey the Goblet? Why you don't

2017
01:55:04.239 --> 01:55:06.159
really believe that story of authurs?

2018
01:55:06.239 --> 01:55:06.560
Do you?

2019
01:55:07.279 --> 01:55:10.880
You're much too intelligent for that. Well you only pretended

2020
01:55:10.920 --> 01:55:12.279
in front of Susan, didn't you.

2021
01:55:12.720 --> 01:55:13.279
Well, I.

2022
01:55:14.960 --> 01:55:19.159
Yes, I had to pretend, you know, women, of course,

2023
01:55:19.239 --> 01:55:20.640
And even if you did believe it, I have a

2024
01:55:20.680 --> 01:55:24.560
feeling that basically you're pretty reckless.

2025
01:55:24.640 --> 01:55:27.840
Aren't you used to be pretty wild when I was

2026
01:55:27.880 --> 01:55:31.399
a young fellaw on the motorcycle Linsen. Yes, yes, I know.

2027
01:55:31.560 --> 01:55:31.720
Yes.

2028
01:55:31.800 --> 01:55:36.000
Well, let's drink up. Find me a victim, will you, Gerald?

2029
01:55:37.079 --> 01:55:38.960
Well, you know, according to the legend, I've got to

2030
01:55:39.119 --> 01:55:40.159
murder someone.

2031
01:55:40.920 --> 01:55:50.960
Maybe even you, Harvey the Murderer. Very nice wine?

2032
01:55:51.960 --> 01:55:59.760
How about another? Right, Well, here's to your lovely wife.

2033
01:56:01.119 --> 01:56:03.319
And how about switching glasses?

2034
01:56:03.880 --> 01:56:04.960
Well you might as well get a.

2035
01:56:04.960 --> 01:56:05.680
Kick out of it too.

2036
01:56:06.720 --> 01:56:09.880
Well, okay, here goes.

2037
01:56:11.000 --> 01:56:13.359
I watched the fools swagger as he drank down the

2038
01:56:13.439 --> 01:56:16.239
wine in an hour when he was alone he'd be

2039
01:56:16.319 --> 01:56:18.079
shivering with fright at what he'd done.

2040
01:56:23.279 --> 01:56:23.960
Well, I did it.

2041
01:56:24.439 --> 01:56:29.680
You certainly did, by the way, Gerald, Yes, I checked

2042
01:56:29.800 --> 01:56:33.000
Arthur's story about this goblet, and it seems that he's right.

2043
01:56:34.000 --> 01:56:35.159
Everyone whoever put his.

2044
01:56:35.239 --> 01:56:38.840
Lips to this goblet has committed a murder.

2045
01:56:40.039 --> 01:56:45.000
You mean, well, of course it's all coincidence, but then again,

2046
01:56:45.079 --> 01:56:45.640
who knows.

2047
01:56:52.760 --> 01:56:56.880
All the next week I kept reminding Gerald about his

2048
01:56:57.039 --> 01:57:00.600
drinking from the goblet. I wasn't really trying to get

2049
01:57:00.680 --> 01:57:02.960
him to kill, but it was amusing to see him

2050
01:57:02.960 --> 01:57:06.560
get upset and uneasy. And I noticed he was getting

2051
01:57:06.560 --> 01:57:10.119
a little bolder, particularly with Susan, and had developed a temper.

2052
01:57:10.960 --> 01:57:18.159
And one night, just as I was about to retire, Hello, Yes, Susan,

2053
01:57:18.279 --> 01:57:20.560
how are you? I'm fine. I'm just gonna worry about

2054
01:57:20.680 --> 01:57:24.000
Gerald about six eleven o'clock.

2055
01:57:24.079 --> 01:57:25.840
Now, do you know what he might be?

2056
01:57:26.880 --> 01:57:30.119
Right, he's having dinner with a sister. Yes, it's a tall,

2057
01:57:30.279 --> 01:57:33.800
dark girl. She was in the office today, and sisters.

2058
01:57:34.840 --> 01:57:35.640
He hasn't.

2059
01:57:37.319 --> 01:57:38.159
Oh, I.

2060
01:57:39.680 --> 01:57:41.680
I guess I got him mixed up with someone else.

2061
01:57:41.880 --> 01:57:45.680
Yes, Yes it was Les Gordon who was meeting his sister. Yes,

2062
01:57:45.800 --> 01:57:47.880
Gerald had some business to take care of over in Millford.

2063
01:57:49.479 --> 01:57:50.279
I'm coming right over.

2064
01:57:55.720 --> 01:57:56.199
I'm good.

2065
01:57:56.800 --> 01:57:59.920
Things were beginning to happen. It was becoming very interesting.

2066
01:58:00.760 --> 01:58:01.920
Now we'd see.

2067
01:58:06.680 --> 01:58:07.000
Harvey.

2068
01:58:07.079 --> 01:58:09.399
I want you to tell me everything I must know.

2069
01:58:09.720 --> 01:58:10.640
Who is this girl?

2070
01:58:10.760 --> 01:58:13.520
Take an easy, sous, come sit down down?

2071
01:58:13.720 --> 01:58:15.479
Never mind that what about Gerald?

2072
01:58:15.760 --> 01:58:18.239
I don't know anything about Gerald's private life.

2073
01:58:18.640 --> 01:58:20.119
And besides, you're not the one to talk.

2074
01:58:20.399 --> 01:58:21.279
What on earth you mean?

2075
01:58:21.399 --> 01:58:24.239
You know perfectly well what I mean. You don't really

2076
01:58:24.359 --> 01:58:25.159
care for Gerald.

2077
01:58:26.199 --> 01:58:28.239
Actually, you're in love with me, Harvey.

2078
01:58:28.640 --> 01:58:30.439
Who you are? Aren't you?

2079
01:58:32.279 --> 01:58:32.560
Maybe?

2080
01:58:33.920 --> 01:58:37.840
Sometimes I think I am, But you're too cold blooded.

2081
01:58:38.279 --> 01:58:39.159
I'd never be sure I.

2082
01:58:39.159 --> 01:58:39.800
Could trust you.

2083
01:58:40.199 --> 01:58:43.319
As a matter of fact, you'd like to get rid

2084
01:58:43.359 --> 01:58:43.920
of Gerald.

2085
01:58:45.399 --> 01:58:46.119
Why do you say that?

2086
01:58:46.439 --> 01:58:49.680
Well, I'm just putting your thoughts into words. You never

2087
01:58:49.760 --> 01:58:52.840
really loved him, did you, but Harvey? And he's finally

2088
01:58:52.960 --> 01:58:56.199
become unbearable, hasn't he?

2089
01:58:56.880 --> 01:58:58.279
Harvey? If you only knew?

2090
01:58:58.600 --> 01:59:01.159
Do you know that the last time Gerald was here

2091
01:59:01.239 --> 01:59:03.039
he drank out of that goblet.

2092
01:59:02.720 --> 01:59:07.680
Of authors, It's possible that he wants to get.

2093
01:59:07.600 --> 01:59:08.359
Rid of you too.

2094
01:59:08.760 --> 01:59:10.039
Stop stop it you here.

2095
01:59:10.199 --> 01:59:11.840
I'm just telling you what I think you ought to know.

2096
01:59:12.359 --> 01:59:15.039
We'll see I left word at home that Gerald was

2097
01:59:15.039 --> 01:59:18.000
to meet me here and if he does come, well

2098
01:59:18.680 --> 01:59:19.239
we'll see.

2099
01:59:22.720 --> 01:59:24.960
We sat and waited, not talking much.

2100
01:59:25.880 --> 01:59:28.159
Susan's face was pale and agitated.

2101
01:59:28.600 --> 01:59:29.920
It was most exciting.

2102
01:59:30.720 --> 01:59:34.039
Susan, with all her charm and imbellishments, was really a

2103
01:59:34.199 --> 01:59:36.640
fierce animal underneath.

2104
01:59:37.199 --> 01:59:39.319
I could almost hear her rage, seething.

2105
01:59:40.600 --> 01:59:41.640
Are you expecting anyone?

2106
01:59:42.119 --> 01:59:42.600
Just Gerald?

2107
01:59:42.680 --> 01:59:48.960
We'll let him in, Harvey, Susan, what's up?

2108
01:59:49.399 --> 01:59:51.159
Why did you leave word to meet you here?

2109
01:59:51.319 --> 01:59:54.079
It's almost midnight. Where have you been all the evening.

2110
01:59:53.880 --> 01:59:55.079
At Milfred with whom?

2111
01:59:55.640 --> 01:59:56.800
What's going on anyway?

2112
01:59:57.079 --> 01:59:58.760
What are you so excited about, Susan?

2113
01:59:58.920 --> 02:00:00.600
What were you doing in mid Why?

2114
02:00:00.800 --> 02:00:02.000
I went there on business.

2115
02:00:03.239 --> 02:00:05.159
You've been behaving very strangely lately.

2116
02:00:05.239 --> 02:00:05.560
Gerald.

2117
02:00:05.880 --> 02:00:07.600
If you don't love me, why don't you say so

2118
02:00:07.800 --> 02:00:08.239
like a man?

2119
02:00:08.399 --> 02:00:08.439
What?

2120
02:00:09.479 --> 02:00:11.920
This is all your fault, Harvey, You've been filling her

2121
02:00:12.000 --> 02:00:14.760
head with poison. I had nothing to do with this.

2122
02:00:14.880 --> 02:00:16.199
I told her that you went to Milford.

2123
02:00:16.359 --> 02:00:18.239
All he did was to make me see clearly is

2124
02:00:18.319 --> 02:00:20.840
something I felt for a long while, and I think

2125
02:00:20.920 --> 02:00:22.840
this is the time to do something about him.

2126
02:00:22.920 --> 02:00:25.399
Sure, you out of your mind? Put that gun down?

2127
02:00:25.920 --> 02:00:27.039
You remember it, don't you.

2128
02:00:27.560 --> 02:00:30.000
You gave it to me, said it might be useful

2129
02:00:30.039 --> 02:00:30.800
in an emergency.

2130
02:00:30.920 --> 02:00:32.399
Hervey, take that gun away from her.

2131
02:00:32.479 --> 02:00:33.319
She's liable to shoot.

2132
02:00:33.359 --> 02:00:35.279
She won't show she's only trying to frighten you.

2133
02:00:35.640 --> 02:00:35.800
Am.

2134
02:00:35.920 --> 02:00:46.319
I let's see for my sworder, Harvey.

2135
02:00:47.399 --> 02:00:51.960
She she's dead, yes, Gerald, and you killed her.

2136
02:00:52.079 --> 02:00:53.720
But it was an accident.

2137
02:00:54.239 --> 02:00:56.079
She shot at me, and I was only trying to

2138
02:00:56.079 --> 02:00:58.399
get the gun away from her. You know that's what happened.

2139
02:00:58.439 --> 02:01:00.560
I only know that you drank from that goblet and

2140
02:01:00.640 --> 02:01:01.399
that you kill them.

2141
02:01:02.079 --> 02:01:04.640
But are you you?

2142
02:01:04.840 --> 02:01:05.199
Dirty?

2143
02:01:05.319 --> 02:01:05.840
Treacherous?

2144
02:01:06.520 --> 02:01:08.840
You planned all this so that you get rid of me,

2145
02:01:09.439 --> 02:01:11.640
so you could have Susan, you could have the firm

2146
02:01:11.680 --> 02:01:12.239
for yourself.

2147
02:01:12.319 --> 02:01:13.840
You will have to do better than that to beat

2148
02:01:13.880 --> 02:01:15.680
the gallop of Gerald girls.

2149
02:01:16.600 --> 02:01:19.319
Please, Harvey, we've been friends for a long time. You

2150
02:01:19.399 --> 02:01:20.239
can't let me down.

2151
02:01:20.359 --> 02:01:22.359
You wouldn't have pressed the trigger if you hadn't had

2152
02:01:22.479 --> 02:01:23.319
murder in your heart.

2153
02:01:23.439 --> 02:01:25.680
Gerald. You shot up because you wanted to.

2154
02:01:26.319 --> 02:01:29.159
That's what I saw. I believe in telling the truth, Harvey.

2155
02:01:29.600 --> 02:01:31.800
I'll turn over the business to you. I'll do anything,

2156
02:01:32.079 --> 02:01:33.279
anything if you'll just I.

2157
02:01:33.399 --> 02:01:37.000
Don't accept bribes, all right, I'll fool you.

2158
02:01:37.520 --> 02:01:40.560
I'll call the police myself the phone. I'll prove my

2159
02:01:40.680 --> 02:01:46.000
case in court. Ham won't convict me, operator, operator, give

2160
02:01:46.039 --> 02:01:52.720
me the police. Hello, police department, this is Hamilton. I

2161
02:01:52.880 --> 02:01:56.079
just accidentally shot my wife and my friend's home.

2162
02:01:57.000 --> 02:02:00.840
Yes, she's dead. The addresses for I'll have a Grove Street.

2163
02:02:01.720 --> 02:02:08.039
That's right, I killed her accidentally. Yes, I'll be waiting here.

2164
02:02:09.880 --> 02:02:14.640
Cigarette Gerald treating me like a condemned man. Huh, Well,

2165
02:02:14.680 --> 02:02:17.119
I'm not going to die. All I have to do

2166
02:02:17.279 --> 02:02:19.439
is tell the truth about everything, including you.

2167
02:02:19.640 --> 02:02:22.479
Ah, but you forget Gerald. There must be fingerprints, your

2168
02:02:22.760 --> 02:02:26.680
fingerprints on that gun. I don't look very accidental, will it.

2169
02:02:28.039 --> 02:02:30.680
But but Harvey did it? Gerald, I saw you.

2170
02:02:31.239 --> 02:02:32.119
She don't back me up.

2171
02:02:32.159 --> 02:02:34.119
They'll hang me like a common criminal.

2172
02:02:34.439 --> 02:02:36.000
Please, Harvey, don't let them.

2173
02:02:35.880 --> 02:02:36.319
Do that to me.

2174
02:02:36.399 --> 02:02:40.079
Please stop whining. Gerald, What all right? Harvey?

2175
02:02:40.359 --> 02:02:40.960
Phap stop?

2176
02:02:41.479 --> 02:02:43.159
You're responsible for this whole thing.

2177
02:02:43.399 --> 02:02:44.000
You know you are.

2178
02:02:44.479 --> 02:02:47.079
And since they can only hang me once, you.

2179
02:02:47.239 --> 02:02:49.399
Raise the gun. But I've been expecting it.

2180
02:02:49.760 --> 02:02:52.319
I grabbed his hand, pushed it against his chest, my

2181
02:02:52.479 --> 02:02:58.640
finger crest on his hand on the trigger, and suddenly he.

2182
02:02:58.720 --> 02:03:08.239
Went in you mmmm, get away, My alibi is perfect.

2183
02:03:09.239 --> 02:03:10.800
What I had to do was wait for the police

2184
02:03:10.880 --> 02:03:16.000
that he himself had called. Minutes sticked slowly away and then.

2185
02:03:22.800 --> 02:03:24.640
Hello, Harvey author.

2186
02:03:24.520 --> 02:03:25.359
Where I found you in?

2187
02:03:26.359 --> 02:03:26.600
Hey?

2188
02:03:27.319 --> 02:03:28.199
Look as if you'd been.

2189
02:03:28.119 --> 02:03:31.199
In a fight, Arthur, you'd you'd better not come in.

2190
02:03:31.399 --> 02:03:33.720
Why what's the matter? No, no, you'd better not come in.

2191
02:03:34.000 --> 02:03:38.760
But why Well, Gerald and Susan they had a quarrel

2192
02:03:38.880 --> 02:03:42.079
and he killed a what then he shot himself.

2193
02:03:42.800 --> 02:03:46.279
What are you talking about, Harvey? Well, all right, come in,

2194
02:03:46.600 --> 02:03:47.319
look for yourself.

2195
02:03:49.920 --> 02:03:52.119
Good, good lord.

2196
02:03:53.279 --> 02:03:54.199
Tried to kill me too.

2197
02:03:55.239 --> 02:03:58.399
But why it doesn't sound like him or like either

2198
02:03:58.520 --> 02:03:58.840
of them.

2199
02:03:58.880 --> 02:03:59.680
I don't know why?

2200
02:04:00.279 --> 02:04:01.199
Fit of insanity?

2201
02:04:02.319 --> 02:04:06.840
Oh maybe it was the the goblet, Your goblet he

2202
02:04:07.000 --> 02:04:10.319
drank out of it, you know, But goblet, why that's ridiculous.

2203
02:04:11.159 --> 02:04:14.199
As he spoke, he picked up the gun. It made

2204
02:04:14.239 --> 02:04:17.279
me furious. All those fine fingerprints of Tiros were now erased.

2205
02:04:17.720 --> 02:04:20.000
Put that gun down after there are fingerprints on it.

2206
02:04:20.159 --> 02:04:22.039
Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't realize.

2207
02:04:23.119 --> 02:04:25.640
I tried to get hold of myself, a stupid fool.

2208
02:04:25.680 --> 02:04:26.600
He was going to ruin.

2209
02:04:26.439 --> 02:04:32.079
Everything, but I had to keep calm. What what were

2210
02:04:32.159 --> 02:04:33.239
you saying about the goblet?

2211
02:04:33.399 --> 02:04:36.399
Why it has no curse or magic. I just made

2212
02:04:36.439 --> 02:04:37.239
that story up.

2213
02:04:38.560 --> 02:04:40.520
You made it?

2214
02:04:41.239 --> 02:04:43.640
You mean, of course I bought the goblet in an

2215
02:04:43.680 --> 02:04:45.680
antique shop. As a matter of fact, I have a

2216
02:04:45.720 --> 02:04:46.359
whole set of.

2217
02:04:46.479 --> 02:04:53.359
Them pulses hammered away in my head. A vast, uncontrollable

2218
02:04:53.439 --> 02:04:54.319
anger seized me.

2219
02:04:55.479 --> 02:04:58.239
Was it because of those precious fingerprints that he'd wiped out,

2220
02:04:58.720 --> 02:05:00.760
or because I had believed in the goblet myself.

2221
02:05:01.239 --> 02:05:01.680
I don't know.

2222
02:05:02.479 --> 02:05:04.479
I only know that I had to fight to keep

2223
02:05:04.479 --> 02:05:05.760
from grabbing them by the throat.

2224
02:05:06.479 --> 02:05:09.319
You know, I don't think you're telling me everything you

2225
02:05:09.520 --> 02:05:11.520
know about this horrible business, Harvey.

2226
02:05:11.800 --> 02:05:13.880
In fact, a red hot wave came over me.

2227
02:05:14.279 --> 02:05:16.239
I don't remember exactly what happened.

2228
02:05:16.560 --> 02:05:19.399
Me, Go, get your hands off me, all.

2229
02:05:28.800 --> 02:05:29.239
Offers.

2230
02:05:29.960 --> 02:05:34.479
Buddy is lying there too now, next to Susan's and Gerald's.

2231
02:05:35.840 --> 02:05:37.479
But the police will be here any minute, so I

2232
02:05:37.560 --> 02:05:38.279
have to hurry.

2233
02:05:39.640 --> 02:05:41.199
First the couplet.

2234
02:05:43.439 --> 02:05:48.600
That's done that, No, some of the broken fragments still

2235
02:05:48.960 --> 02:05:51.920
glit her in the lamplight. I've got to crush them,

2236
02:05:52.560 --> 02:05:57.760
grand them to powder under my heels. But there are

2237
02:05:57.800 --> 02:05:59.800
always other pieces that I can't find.

2238
02:06:00.640 --> 02:06:02.359
Yeah, they're hiding from me.

2239
02:06:03.159 --> 02:06:05.680
They're afraid of me, but I'll find every piece.

2240
02:06:06.359 --> 02:06:07.079
I'll fight them.

2241
02:06:07.920 --> 02:06:09.279
Fight.

2242
02:06:19.560 --> 02:06:22.760
Three bodies lying huddled on the floor, and the madman

2243
02:06:23.000 --> 02:06:26.239
crushing the fragments of the broken goblet of powder as

2244
02:06:26.319 --> 02:06:30.279
the police car drives up when the clock strikes twelve four.

2245
02:06:31.119 --> 02:06:35.319
Murder madnle.

2246
02:07:04.760 --> 02:07:07.960
Remember to be with us again when death appears at

2247
02:07:08.000 --> 02:07:11.000
the door, wearing the face of a friend, and the

2248
02:07:11.119 --> 02:07:13.039
clocks strike twelve.

2249
02:07:12.880 --> 02:07:14.840
Four Murder.

2250
02:07:16.800 --> 02:07:17.399
Midnight.

2251
02:07:21.720 --> 02:07:25.800

2254
02:08:03.560 --> 02:08:10.119
Well, the night is getting somehow darker, but I don't

2255
02:08:10.159 --> 02:08:14.399
suppose there's any reason to stop just yet. I mean,

2256
02:08:15.239 --> 02:08:19.319
how often does the witching season really come? Well, I

2257
02:08:19.399 --> 02:08:24.880
mean obviously once a year, But I feel like celebrating

2258
02:08:25.039 --> 02:08:31.600
with my dear, dear friend. When it comes to life

2259
02:08:31.720 --> 02:08:37.800
and death, many things seem to mirror each other, but

2260
02:08:38.560 --> 02:08:43.159
usually they're not quite the same. No, no, no, There's

2261
02:08:43.239 --> 02:08:48.439
so many intricacies of life and death. But one thing

2262
02:08:48.800 --> 02:08:52.279
that I've always known for sure is you can never

2263
02:08:52.439 --> 02:08:55.960
go wrong with two sharp knives.

2264
02:08:58.640 --> 02:09:08.720

Chief.

2288
02:10:52.960 --> 02:10:55.000
Don't you think that watching the two eleven come in

2289
02:10:55.239 --> 02:10:57.279
is have to be too much for your blood pressure?

2290

imitation of an assistant to me for some time now.

It's no, I don't know.

2301
02:11:19.239 --> 02:11:21.680

How's the two eleven on time?

2303

December eighth, nineteen forty two.

2374
02:14:53.399 --> 02:14:56.199
Well, it's a lie a Ferman, aren't you.

2375
02:14:56.359 --> 02:14:56.479
Oh?

2376
02:14:56.640 --> 02:14:59.720
Yes, but that's your picture on the circular, isn't it? Yes? Yes,

2377
02:14:59.800 --> 02:15:02.039
But Scott, I see you and.

2378
02:15:03.640 --> 02:15:07.760
George, you're lucky stiffs. Now you two split a grand

2379
02:15:07.760 --> 02:15:12.000
and half reward. I never seen nothing like it, you know,

2380
02:15:12.079 --> 02:15:14.399
if it ain't vacations in New York at the city's

2381
02:15:14.439 --> 02:15:16.000
expenses reward though.

2382
02:15:16.600 --> 02:15:21.520
Judge, someday, if you don't remember, you're the jailer around here,

2383
02:15:21.720 --> 02:15:23.960
not the DA. You're going to be.

2384
02:15:23.960 --> 02:15:25.920
Wearing your teeth on the outside of your lips. And

2385
02:15:25.960 --> 02:15:28.039
I'll be the guys who are ranging that way savvy

2386
02:15:29.039 --> 02:15:29.760
just because you're.

2387
02:15:29.680 --> 02:15:31.720
Caught a guy who's hot in philadel it's a life,

2388
02:15:31.960 --> 02:15:32.640
it's a frame up.

2389
02:15:32.880 --> 02:15:34.680
You can't prove anything. There's nothing to prove.

2390
02:15:34.960 --> 02:15:36.920
I never killed anybody. I won't refrain, I.

2391
02:15:36.920 --> 02:15:40.479
Won't take it easy. You're wasting your breath on save

2392
02:15:40.560 --> 02:15:42.119
it for the Philadelphia police.

2393
02:15:42.520 --> 02:15:44.039
We're just holding you for them.

2394
02:15:44.159 --> 02:15:46.239
But it's not the police. It's the trend of American

2395
02:15:46.279 --> 02:15:49.239
detective venue over to the Philadelphia police, misterras and I.

2396
02:15:51.720 --> 02:15:54.359
Well, and there's nothing I can.

2397
02:15:54.319 --> 02:15:56.159
Do now, nothing any of us can do. In the morning,

2398
02:15:56.840 --> 02:15:59.159
you have to say, you know, won't anymore till they

2399
02:15:59.159 --> 02:16:01.319
come for you. Why don't you look through his bag.

2400
02:16:01.520 --> 02:16:06.359
I'll see what he's got in his pockets. Okay, Scott, Yeah,

2401
02:16:07.000 --> 02:16:09.960
all he's got on. I'm on some business cards, a

2402
02:16:10.039 --> 02:16:17.039
few letters unwritten written, sixty dollars, a book of checks

2403
02:16:17.079 --> 02:16:18.960
in the Philadelphia bank, and a few.

2404
02:16:18.800 --> 02:16:21.159
Odds and ends, munch with a bag wallly.

2405
02:16:21.119 --> 02:16:24.479
Not much, A couple of changes of clothes and toilet articles.

2406
02:16:24.520 --> 02:16:28.960
And oh here's a thirty eight loaded pretty little.

2407
02:16:28.840 --> 02:16:29.479
Thing, isn't it.

2408
02:16:29.840 --> 02:16:31.680
Okay, put those things when I got in the varse.

2409
02:16:32.239 --> 02:16:34.159
All right, George, you can take priman now and lock

2410
02:16:34.200 --> 02:16:34.479
them up.

2411
02:16:34.559 --> 02:16:37.959
This is the most ridiculous early come on, you ain't

02:16:53.479 --> 02:16:55.280
demand to be allowed to get in touch with my lugger.

02:16:56.799 --> 02:16:58.760

Huh oh sure George, Sure, I'll forget all about that

2421
02:17:04.040 --> 02:17:04.520
two and a half.

2422
02:17:04.600 --> 02:17:07.079
You've been on me for three months. Make Feminis comfortable

2423
02:17:07.120 --> 02:17:08.799

2424
02:17:09.319 --> 02:17:10.079
He's valuable.

2425
02:17:10.200 --> 02:17:13.319
Huh I No, it was some bomb that didn't mean

2426
02:17:13.360 --> 02:17:14.120

02:17:24.479 --> 02:17:28.000
that's all, George. I'm on arrest. I'm going home now.

2432
02:17:29.000 --> 02:17:30.760
Anything's urgent, I can reach there.

2433
02:17:31.319 --> 02:17:34.319
But get this. I don't want to be disturbed unless

2434
02:17:34.319 --> 02:17:58.000

I'm a way down. Oh, doctor's gonna do Ferman any good, Scott.

2442
02:18:15.000 --> 02:18:16.280
I don't want have to have him look at you.

2443
02:18:16.440 --> 02:18:18.319
Better phone the Corn of Cord if Dougles fell too,

2444
02:18:18.360 --> 02:18:19.479
and file a routine report.

2445
02:18:19.799 --> 02:18:22.360
Already did that once more, Hold onto your seat.

2446
02:18:22.440 --> 02:18:25.639
The DA's on his way over in person, Da, I'll

2447
02:18:25.639 --> 02:18:43.000
be ever before you hang up, Billy, come on in, jee, Tad, Carol.

2448
02:18:43.040 --> 02:18:45.159
The DA's here and he's plenty hot under the collar.

2449
02:18:45.520 --> 02:18:46.440
What's he burning about?

2450
02:18:46.559 --> 02:18:49.000
Oh, he's just mad, running up quite a phone bill

2451
02:18:49.040 --> 02:18:51.159
on us too, been calling Philadelphia every a couple of

2452
02:18:51.200 --> 02:18:52.079
minutes as he got here.

2453
02:18:52.239 --> 02:18:53.399
What kept you along?

2454
02:18:53.920 --> 02:18:55.879
I couldn't get the car started. All right, let's go

2455
02:18:55.920 --> 02:19:01.559
in and see the old buzzy. No, Ted, Christen Scott,

2456
02:19:01.639 --> 02:19:02.319
what is all this?

2457
02:19:02.920 --> 02:19:02.959
What?

2458
02:19:03.280 --> 02:19:06.520
There's some funny business going on here? What's funny about it?

2459
02:19:07.040 --> 02:19:10.200
Man hangs himself? Just another case of suicide. Sure it

2460
02:19:10.360 --> 02:19:14.040
was suicide, But I just telephoned friends America duk a

2461
02:19:14.079 --> 02:19:16.479
guy out of bed there, and he said they never

2462
02:19:16.520 --> 02:19:19.479
sent out circulars on Furman didn't know about any murder.

2463
02:19:19.559 --> 02:19:22.000
He was wondered for. All they could tell me about

2464
02:19:22.040 --> 02:19:23.680
him was he used to be a client of theirs.

2465
02:19:24.920 --> 02:19:28.120
Do not say, Ted, I don't either. Oh a fine

2466
02:19:28.200 --> 02:19:30.719
chief a police you are? What on earth kept you

2467
02:19:30.840 --> 02:19:34.399
so long? Cast him as quick as it could? Which

2468
02:19:34.479 --> 02:19:35.479
is so grabby dead?

2469
02:19:35.639 --> 02:19:35.959
Nothing?

2470
02:19:36.360 --> 02:19:40.239
I guess it's just the district attorney. Ah, Now, come come, gentlemen.

2471
02:19:40.360 --> 02:19:44.360
Nobody'd know you two are staunch admirers of each other. Okay,

2472
02:19:44.479 --> 02:19:49.319
worthy jelly, what do you make of it? Well, there's

2473
02:19:49.399 --> 02:19:53.600
plenty wrong Scott first, that trans America thing. They never

2474
02:19:53.680 --> 02:19:57.719
sent out circulars about Furman. And now get this. I

2475
02:19:57.879 --> 02:19:59.959
talked to the Philly police just before you came in,

2476
02:20:00.000 --> 02:20:03.399
and there wasn't even any Paul Frank Dunlap murdered.

2477
02:20:03.600 --> 02:20:04.520
It wasn't no.

2478
02:20:05.319 --> 02:20:07.040
What did you get out of Furman before you let

2479
02:20:07.120 --> 02:20:07.920
him hang himself?

2480
02:20:08.319 --> 02:20:09.040
And he was innocent?

2481
02:20:09.159 --> 02:20:11.440
Didn't you grill him? Didn't you find out what he

2482
02:20:11.559 --> 02:20:14.600
was doing in town Wall? He didn't shot for he

2483
02:20:14.680 --> 02:20:18.479
admitted he was Furman. The description fitted him, the photograph

2484
02:20:18.760 --> 02:20:21.920
was him. The Trans America Detective Agency's supposed to be

2485
02:20:22.000 --> 02:20:25.319
on the level, ain't it. Philadelphia wanted Furman? We didn't,

2486
02:20:25.360 --> 02:20:27.159
but I sure ted, but I known he was going

2487
02:20:27.200 --> 02:20:29.959
to hang himself. But then if your aunt or pant

2488
02:20:30.000 --> 02:20:33.239
should be her uncle? He said, Furman had been a

2489
02:20:33.360 --> 02:20:35.760
kind of Transamerica. They tell you what the job they

2490
02:20:35.799 --> 02:20:37.840
did for him was his wife left him a couple

2491
02:20:37.879 --> 02:20:40.159
of years ago, and he had them hunting for her

2492
02:20:40.239 --> 02:20:42.520
for five or six months, but they never found her.

2493
02:20:43.040 --> 02:20:46.399
There sending a man up here tonight to look things over. Yeah, uh, yes,

2494
02:20:47.639 --> 02:20:50.319
Well I'm going out and grab a quick bite, but

2495
02:20:50.440 --> 02:20:52.959
I might as well tell you Scott. There's going to

2496
02:20:53.000 --> 02:20:53.799
be trouble over this.

2497
02:20:54.559 --> 02:20:58.000
That he usually is when somebody dies in the jails.

2498
02:21:12.879 --> 02:21:15.559
Yeah, so what's becoming that fifteen hundred fish?

2499
02:21:15.680 --> 02:21:16.399
Now that's Scott.

2500
02:21:16.520 --> 02:21:17.639
What happened here last night?

2501
02:21:17.719 --> 02:21:20.760
George nothing? Firman hung himself.

2502
02:21:21.040 --> 02:21:21.879
Did you find him?

2503
02:21:22.000 --> 02:21:22.120
Uh?

2504
02:21:22.200 --> 02:21:22.319
Huh.

2505
02:21:23.239 --> 02:21:25.079
Wally took a look in here to see how things

2506
02:21:25.280 --> 02:21:27.000
was before he went off duty, and he found him.

2507
02:21:27.000 --> 02:21:27.719
You're asleep.

2508
02:21:27.799 --> 02:21:30.280
I suppose, well I was.

2509
02:21:30.319 --> 02:21:33.559
Catching a nap, I guess, But everybody does that sometimes, Scott,

2510
02:21:34.159 --> 02:21:36.079
even Wally sometimes when he comes in off his beat

2511
02:21:36.079 --> 02:21:38.920
between rounds. But I always wake up when the phone

2512
02:21:39.000 --> 02:21:43.280
rings or anything. Oh sure, well, suppose I had been awake.

2513
02:21:43.879 --> 02:21:45.799
I can't hear a guy hanging himself, can you?

2514
02:21:46.280 --> 02:21:48.159
Doc can't say how long climbing had been dead?

2515
02:21:48.840 --> 02:21:52.040
He done at about five o'clock, he said, He guessed, Oh,

2516
02:21:52.120 --> 02:21:54.360
you want to look at Romaine, Scott. You're over at

2517
02:21:54.360 --> 02:21:57.840
fitz has undertaking Paula. Now, hey, and speaking of Foireman,

2518
02:21:58.280 --> 02:21:59.879
what are you going to tell the guys from Transfer

2519
02:22:00.079 --> 02:22:01.360
are going to the show up here tonight?

2520
02:22:07.639 --> 02:22:14.680
H come in, come in.

2521
02:22:17.639 --> 02:22:18.799
They told me I find you here.

2522
02:22:18.840 --> 02:22:20.760
You're a chief Anderson, aren't you, and he says, all right,

2523
02:22:21.000 --> 02:22:23.760
I'm Carl Racing, assistant manager of the Trans America Detective

2524
02:22:23.760 --> 02:22:24.799
Agency in Philadelphia.

2525
02:22:25.000 --> 02:22:27.719
This is mister Wheelock, who was Lester Furman's personal attorney.

2526
02:22:27.799 --> 02:22:30.159
We had an must Racing. How do you do, mister Wheelock?

2527
02:22:30.600 --> 02:22:31.000
How do you do?

2528
02:22:31.680 --> 02:22:33.760
I know you, gentlemen, are already in possession of most

2529
02:22:33.799 --> 02:22:35.719
of the details concerning mister Furman from the time he

2530
02:22:35.760 --> 02:22:38.719
arrived in Deerwood until the time of his death. But

2531
02:22:38.840 --> 02:22:41.399
perhaps you don't know that the police of most towns

2532
02:22:41.440 --> 02:22:43.399
in our corner of the state have also received copies

2533
02:22:43.440 --> 02:22:44.920
of this same reward circular.

2534
02:22:45.639 --> 02:22:46.239
Take a look at it.

2535
02:22:47.200 --> 02:22:51.719
Oh, I must say, this secular is an excellent forgery.

2536
02:22:52.120 --> 02:22:54.520
You're sure it's a forgery, Misterracing. Oh, yes, there's no

2537
02:22:54.639 --> 02:22:57.719
doubt about it. But it's an excellent forgery. Tell him,

2538
02:22:57.719 --> 02:22:59.959
mister Wheelock, mister fermin in native Philadelphia.

2539
02:23:00.120 --> 02:23:02.440
Oh my, yes, he was a well known, respectable, and

2540
02:23:02.559 --> 02:23:04.159
prosperous citizen of Philadelphia.

2541
02:23:04.680 --> 02:23:05.239
I don believe.

2542
02:23:05.440 --> 02:23:07.680
In nineteen thirty four he married a twenty two year

2543
02:23:07.719 --> 02:23:11.040
old girl named Ethel Bryan, daughter of a Philadelphia family, and.

2544
02:23:11.079 --> 02:23:13.600
The Firman's had a child isn't that right between him?

2545
02:23:13.680 --> 02:23:15.920
Yes, born in nineteen thirty six, but the child lived

2546
02:23:16.000 --> 02:23:16.799
only a few months.

2547
02:23:17.000 --> 02:23:19.959
Mister Firman's wife disappeared after the child's death. Well, what

2548
02:23:20.159 --> 02:23:21.440
year was it that she disappeared?

2549
02:23:21.639 --> 02:23:24.719
Mister Reason should remember that his agency.

2550
02:23:24.360 --> 02:23:25.239
Worked on the matter.

2551
02:23:25.399 --> 02:23:28.440
Oh, I'll remember it, well, missus Fairman disappeared in nineteen

2552
02:23:28.479 --> 02:23:31.680
thirty seven. We never heard anything of her again, although

2553
02:23:31.719 --> 02:23:33.760
Furman spent a lot of money trying to locate her.

2554
02:23:33.920 --> 02:23:35.959
What you look like the tercy in just a moment,

2555
02:23:36.239 --> 02:23:38.319
I have a picture of her right here in my briefcase.

2556
02:23:40.239 --> 02:23:40.399
Here.

2557
02:23:40.479 --> 02:23:42.280
It is quite pretty, isn't she?

2558
02:23:42.799 --> 02:23:44.959
If you care for that type, you see what you.

2559
02:23:45.040 --> 02:23:45.799
Mean was to be there?

2560
02:23:46.959 --> 02:23:47.680
She's attracted with?

2561
02:23:47.760 --> 02:23:47.920
Then?

2562
02:23:49.000 --> 02:23:51.760
Judging by this photo, I'd say that she was a small, featured,

2563
02:23:52.959 --> 02:23:57.760
very brown, the weak mountain, large, somewhat stirring eyes. That's

2564
02:23:57.799 --> 02:23:58.879
an accurate enough description.

2565
02:23:59.000 --> 02:24:00.520
All right, we don't mind.

2566
02:24:00.559 --> 02:24:02.159
I'd like to have a copy made of that photograph

2567
02:24:02.239 --> 02:24:02.680
with teresing.

2568
02:24:02.760 --> 02:24:04.360
Oh, you can keep that one if you like. It's

2569
02:24:04.440 --> 02:24:06.680
one that we hadn't made up in trans America. Her

2570
02:24:06.719 --> 02:24:07.760
descriptions on the back.

2571
02:24:08.079 --> 02:24:11.280
Thanks did the Firman a divorcer no, sir.

2572
02:24:11.879 --> 02:24:13.239
He was a lot in love with her, and he

2573
02:24:13.319 --> 02:24:15.360
seemed to think that the child's dying made her a

2574
02:24:15.399 --> 02:24:17.639
little screwy, so that she didn't know what she was doing.

2575
02:24:18.040 --> 02:24:19.440
And that's right, hisn't, mister Wheelock.

2576
02:24:19.559 --> 02:24:20.479
That is my belief.

2577
02:24:20.559 --> 02:24:21.120
Mister Reeson.

2578
02:24:21.639 --> 02:24:24.239
He said Fermin had money, mister Whelock, not how much

2579
02:24:24.319 --> 02:24:24.639
did he have?

2580
02:24:25.520 --> 02:24:26.879
And who gets it?

2581
02:24:27.360 --> 02:24:30.319
I should say his estate will amount to perhaps half

2582
02:24:30.319 --> 02:24:33.040
a million dollars left in its entirety to his wife.

2583
02:24:34.680 --> 02:24:37.239
It's quite a handy sum for anyone I have. I'd see,

2584
02:24:38.680 --> 02:24:42.040
mister Wheelert. Everything shows that somebody framed fermanent to the

2585
02:24:42.120 --> 02:24:45.319
day with jail. That frame up drove him the suicide.

2586
02:24:46.159 --> 02:24:50.200
But there has to be something else, a lot else. Well,

2587
02:24:50.239 --> 02:24:51.760
then what are you going to do?

2588
02:24:52.520 --> 02:24:54.719
I'm going across the street to the undertaking part and

2589
02:24:54.719 --> 02:24:55.520
I have a look at Furmin.

2590
02:24:55.920 --> 02:25:00.159
I'll see you later, m.

2591
02:25:17.520 --> 02:25:17.920
Oh doc.

2592
02:25:18.360 --> 02:25:21.399
Alright, Scott, I figured you'd come over here to the

2593
02:25:21.440 --> 02:25:26.239
undertakers pretty soon. Send you mind, dot Let's get out

2594
02:25:26.280 --> 02:25:28.600
of this crowd. I want to tell you something. I

2595
02:25:28.840 --> 02:25:30.600
just got rid of you guys in my office. Let's

2596
02:25:30.600 --> 02:25:38.879
go back there. Suits me two of those bruises showed

2597
02:25:38.959 --> 02:25:43.000
this got what bruises Firman were up under the hair?

2598
02:25:43.120 --> 02:25:47.639
There were there were two bruises. I'm telling you now, Scott.

2599
02:25:48.479 --> 02:25:51.319
You weren't here when I made my examination. This is

2600
02:25:51.360 --> 02:25:53.719
the first time i've seen you since then. Didn't you

2601
02:25:53.719 --> 02:25:55.520
just moved the stuff about Ferman's bruises when you were

2602
02:25:55.559 --> 02:25:56.520
testifying at the inquest?

2603
02:25:56.600 --> 02:25:56.719
Then?

2604
02:25:58.399 --> 02:26:01.120
I'm a friend of yours. Do I want to put

2605
02:26:01.159 --> 02:26:03.680
you on a spot where people can say you drove

2606
02:26:03.760 --> 02:26:06.600
this champ to suicide by third degreeing.

2607
02:26:06.280 --> 02:26:13.079
Him two rough You want to not how the women?

2608
02:26:14.520 --> 02:26:17.760
Well, Scott, that didn't kill him. That's what you mean.

2609
02:26:18.479 --> 02:26:21.639
There's nothing the matter with his skull, just a couple

2610
02:26:21.719 --> 02:26:25.479
of bruises. Nobody had noticed and unless they parted the hair.

2611
02:26:26.680 --> 02:26:30.079
But you ought to know though, Thanks Ben.

2612
02:26:34.000 --> 02:26:34.600
Yes, who is it?

2613
02:26:35.239 --> 02:26:35.559
Frets?

2614
02:26:35.639 --> 02:26:36.280
The undertaker?

2615
02:26:36.479 --> 02:26:38.600
Listen, Scott, there's a couple of ladies over here that.

2616
02:26:38.680 --> 02:26:40.040
Wanted to take a look at furm him.

2617
02:26:40.239 --> 02:26:42.879
Is it all right? Why? I don't know him?

2618
02:26:42.959 --> 02:26:43.559
Strangers?

2619
02:26:44.159 --> 02:26:45.040
What do they want to see him for?

2620
02:26:45.280 --> 02:26:50.520
I don't know? Wait a minute, can I please see him?

2621
02:26:51.360 --> 02:26:52.239
Why do you want to see him?

2622
02:26:53.200 --> 02:26:58.360
I'm his wife's wife. Yes, Oh, certainly, I'll be right

2623
02:26:58.399 --> 02:27:01.600
over song, Ben, I've got to go back.

2624
02:27:01.479 --> 02:27:02.159
To the undertakers.

2625
02:27:02.319 --> 02:27:10.200
So long, Scott, Hey, Scott, what.

2626
02:27:10.159 --> 02:27:10.840
Do you want, Wallly?

2627
02:27:11.280 --> 02:27:12.959
I want to talk to you a minute over here

2628
02:27:13.000 --> 02:27:13.920
where we won't be seen.

2629
02:27:17.000 --> 02:27:17.719
Okay, what is it?

2630
02:27:17.959 --> 02:27:18.440
A couple of.

2631
02:27:18.520 --> 02:27:21.239
Dames came into Fritz's undertaking place just as I was leaving.

2632
02:27:21.559 --> 02:27:23.479
One of them's hot, Charles Randall. A baby with a

2633
02:27:23.520 --> 02:27:25.600
record as long as your arm. She's one of that

2634
02:27:25.719 --> 02:27:27.799
mob you had me working on in New York last summer.

2635
02:27:28.319 --> 02:27:30.639
You know you, sure, but not by my right name.

2636
02:27:30.799 --> 02:27:32.719
She thinks I'm a Detroit room runner. I mean that

2637
02:27:32.799 --> 02:27:34.799
you recognize you just now. I don't think she saw

2638
02:27:34.920 --> 02:27:37.239
me anyway. She didn't give me a tumble. You don't

2639
02:27:37.280 --> 02:27:40.639
know the other one. No, she's a blonde, kind of pretty. Okay, Wally,

2640
02:27:40.920 --> 02:27:43.360
stick around a while, but stay out of sight. Maybe

2641
02:27:43.360 --> 02:27:46.399
I'll be bringing these dollars back with me whatever you say. Gee,

2642
02:27:52.159 --> 02:27:54.520
oh they are Scott. I wondered when you were coming.

2643
02:27:55.239 --> 02:27:57.760
This is missus fairmoll and this is missus crowded. And

2644
02:27:57.760 --> 02:27:58.159
how do you do?

2645
02:27:58.680 --> 02:27:58.920
Chief?

2646
02:27:59.040 --> 02:28:02.280
They just saw the missus Crowder. I thought your name

2647
02:28:02.360 --> 02:28:02.719
was Randon.

2648
02:28:02.879 --> 02:28:05.200
Why do you care, Chief, I'm not hurting you account any.

2649
02:28:05.799 --> 02:28:09.040
Don't call me chief who city slickers on the town whitler.

2650
02:28:09.319 --> 02:28:10.760
Thank you for letting me see him.

2651
02:28:11.040 --> 02:28:14.200
All right, missus Fairman, But I have to ask you

2652
02:28:14.280 --> 02:28:16.440
and your friends some questions. So if you've just come

2653
02:28:16.479 --> 02:28:18.600
across the street to headquarters, we'll get on with a

2654
02:28:18.680 --> 02:28:35.000
routine before I ask any questions. I want to tell

2655
02:28:35.040 --> 02:28:41.680
you something, missus Fairman. Your husband didn't commit suicide.

2656
02:28:42.319 --> 02:28:46.000
He was murdered, ruded, not Chief. We got alibis.

2657
02:28:46.040 --> 02:28:47.559
We were in New York, and we can prove it,

2658
02:28:47.680 --> 02:28:50.520
and you're likely to get a chance to him. What

2659
02:28:50.760 --> 02:28:51.959
brought you down here anyway?

2660
02:28:52.360 --> 02:28:52.680
Ruded?

2661
02:28:52.879 --> 02:28:54.600
Well, aw's got a better right to come down here.

2662
02:28:54.719 --> 02:28:56.680
She was still his wife, wasn't she. She's got a

2663
02:28:56.760 --> 02:28:58.399
right to look out for her own interest, hasn't she.

2664
02:29:00.959 --> 02:29:03.920
It reminds me of something. Excuse me a second. I've

2665
02:29:03.920 --> 02:29:12.600
got to make a phone call. The next room. Off

2666
02:29:12.719 --> 02:29:13.600
Is I amil speaking?

2667
02:29:14.000 --> 02:29:14.479
Is it Scott?

2668
02:29:14.799 --> 02:29:15.040
Yes?

2669
02:29:15.719 --> 02:29:16.280
While around?

2670
02:29:16.600 --> 02:29:19.120
Oh he's not here. He said you told him to

2671
02:29:19.239 --> 02:29:21.879
keep out of sight. I'll find them for you though,

2672
02:29:21.920 --> 02:29:23.920
all right, Teller Wally, I want him to go to

2673
02:29:24.000 --> 02:29:26.280
New York tonight. Send Mason home to get some sleep,

2674
02:29:26.280 --> 02:29:27.680
you'll have to take over Whalley's night trick.

2675
02:29:27.920 --> 02:29:36.959
Oh, mister Anderson, Mister Anderson, do you think I had

2676
02:29:37.399 --> 02:29:40.120
had anything to do with Leicester's with his death?

2677
02:29:40.680 --> 02:29:41.920
I don't know, missus Furman.

2678
02:29:42.799 --> 02:29:43.799
I know he was killed.

2679
02:29:45.079 --> 02:29:47.200
I also know I left you something like half a

2680
02:29:47.319 --> 02:29:50.280
million wow dollars dollars?

2681
02:29:50.680 --> 02:29:52.280
All right, gee, let's.

2682
02:29:52.079 --> 02:29:54.159
Stop plowing the kid here. Didn't have a thing to

2683
02:29:54.200 --> 02:29:55.440
do with whatever you think happened.

2684
02:29:55.959 --> 02:29:56.559
Oh no.

2685
02:29:57.479 --> 02:30:00.399
We read about Lester Freman committing suicide and yesterday morning's

2686
02:30:00.399 --> 02:30:03.399
paper and about there being something funny about it, and

2687
02:30:03.479 --> 02:30:05.079
I persuaded her she ought to come down.

2688
02:30:04.959 --> 02:30:07.840
To dear Anderson. I wouldn't have done anything to hurt Leicester.

2689
02:30:08.600 --> 02:30:10.440
I left him because I wanted.

2690
02:30:10.200 --> 02:30:10.680
To leave him.

2691
02:30:11.200 --> 02:30:13.479
I wouldn't have done anything to hurt him for money

2692
02:30:13.600 --> 02:30:16.799
or anything else. Had I wanted money from him, I

2693
02:30:16.799 --> 02:30:18.280
would only have had to ask him for it.

2694
02:30:18.440 --> 02:30:18.959
That's the truth.

2695
02:30:19.079 --> 02:30:19.319
Chief.

2696
02:30:19.680 --> 02:30:21.319
For years, I've been telling her for she was a

2697
02:30:21.399 --> 02:30:24.000
chump not to tap him, but she never would. I

2698
02:30:24.040 --> 02:30:27.239
wouldn't have hurt him. Well, I don't know how to

2699
02:30:27.360 --> 02:30:30.079
say it. The way we lived wasn't the way I

2700
02:30:30.200 --> 02:30:32.840
wanted to live. I wanted, Oh, I.

2701
02:30:32.840 --> 02:30:33.239
Don't know what.

2702
02:30:34.319 --> 02:30:37.479
Anyway, after the baby died, I couldn't stand it anymore.

2703
02:30:38.159 --> 02:30:38.639
Excuse me?

2704
02:30:40.440 --> 02:30:46.879
Hello, Oh yeah, I'm a hm. You get one of

2705
02:30:46.959 --> 02:30:50.280
the message. Yes, yes, I wanted to go to New

2706
02:30:50.360 --> 02:30:52.920
York tonight. Okay where is he?

2707
02:30:53.440 --> 02:30:53.559
Oh?

2708
02:30:55.000 --> 02:30:55.239
He is?

2709
02:30:55.319 --> 02:30:55.440
Oh?

2710
02:30:55.559 --> 02:30:55.680
Uh?

2711
02:30:56.520 --> 02:30:57.159
Okay? Thanks?

2712
02:30:59.360 --> 02:31:04.000
This is uh woman, this circular. It's got your husband

2713
02:31:04.040 --> 02:31:07.319
in the jair? Did you ever see that picture before?

2714
02:31:08.719 --> 02:31:12.159
But that's what can't be. It's a snapshot I have.

2715
02:31:12.840 --> 02:31:13.840
It's an a margement of it.

2716
02:31:14.399 --> 02:31:15.159
Who else is one?

2717
02:31:15.959 --> 02:31:18.680
Nobody that I know of. I don't think anyone else

2718
02:31:18.719 --> 02:31:19.319
could have one.

2719
02:31:19.719 --> 02:31:20.719
You still got yours?

2720
02:31:21.120 --> 02:31:24.399
Yes, but remember whether I've seen it recently? With some

2721
02:31:24.559 --> 02:31:25.959
old papers and things.

2722
02:31:26.239 --> 02:31:26.760
I must have.

2723
02:31:26.920 --> 02:31:29.040
It is Ferman and stuff like that. That's got to

2724
02:31:29.040 --> 02:31:32.399
be checked up. Neither of us can dodge it. There's

2725
02:31:32.440 --> 02:31:35.680
two ways we can play it. Yes, this is Ferman.

2726
02:31:36.680 --> 02:31:38.479
I can hold you here on suspicion until I have

2727
02:31:38.520 --> 02:31:39.920
had time to investigate things.

2728
02:31:40.680 --> 02:31:40.840
All.

2729
02:31:41.000 --> 02:31:42.680
I can send one of my men with you to

2730
02:31:42.799 --> 02:31:43.639
check up in New York.

2731
02:31:44.079 --> 02:31:46.639
Yes, willing to do that, if you'll speed things up

2732
02:31:46.680 --> 02:31:48.879
by helping them all you can, if you'll promise you

2733
02:31:48.920 --> 02:31:51.280
won't try any tricks, I promise anxious.

2734
02:31:51.319 --> 02:31:54.120
All right, all right, how'd you come down?

2735
02:31:54.319 --> 02:31:56.719
We drove down. We got a great big car.

2736
02:31:57.280 --> 02:31:57.840
That's my car.

2737
02:31:57.959 --> 02:31:59.959
See that big green job across the street.

2738
02:32:01.280 --> 02:32:07.399
M my man can ride back with you. But no, funny, No,

2739
02:32:07.559 --> 02:32:08.120
I don't worry.

2740
02:32:08.239 --> 02:32:08.360
Shee.

2741
02:32:09.440 --> 02:32:11.760
Come on, we're gonna see while Shane the man is

2742
02:32:11.760 --> 02:32:12.360
going to drive.

2743
02:32:12.239 --> 02:32:12.959
To the off with you.

2744
02:32:27.600 --> 02:32:30.600
While who is it, Scott Money?

2745
02:32:31.200 --> 02:32:34.079
I say this is first.

2746
02:32:36.000 --> 02:32:37.879
Anthels Oh you out out?

2747
02:32:38.639 --> 02:32:39.559
He was reaching with that gun.

2748
02:32:39.639 --> 02:32:44.760
Molly already got your covered. I guess you win ssconce Yeah,

2749
02:32:44.760 --> 02:32:45.239
I guess I do.

2750
02:32:46.319 --> 02:32:47.040
Come along back.

2751
02:32:46.959 --> 02:32:50.159
There, cause it will be like, good little boy, Holly,

2752
02:32:51.200 --> 02:33:08.280
you're under arrest for murder. Well, And that's how I

2753
02:33:08.360 --> 02:33:10.760
knew it was all up, Scott. The minute I saw

2754
02:33:10.840 --> 02:33:13.920
those two dames going into Fritz's. And when I was

2755
02:33:14.040 --> 02:33:15.959
dugging on a side, I ran into you, and I

2756
02:33:16.079 --> 02:33:17.840
was afraid you'd take me over there with you, So

2757
02:33:18.040 --> 02:33:19.440
I had to tell you one of them knew me,

2758
02:33:19.680 --> 02:33:21.200
figuring you didn't want to keep me under cover for

2759
02:33:21.239 --> 02:33:23.399
a little while anyhow, long enough for me.

2760
02:33:23.440 --> 02:33:26.159
To get out of town. Why didn't you get out, Willie?

2761
02:33:26.559 --> 02:33:26.799
Well?

2762
02:33:27.040 --> 02:33:28.879
I dropped in home to pick up a couple of

2763
02:33:29.000 --> 02:33:31.799
things before I scram and that phone call of Hamil

2764
02:33:31.879 --> 02:33:35.520
sketches me. And when I fall for it, You see, Scott,

2765
02:33:35.559 --> 02:33:37.440
I figured you're not on to me yet, and I're

2766
02:33:37.479 --> 02:33:39.079
gonna send me back to New York to see what

2767
02:33:39.159 --> 02:33:42.159
dope I can get out of the dames. Well, you

2768
02:33:42.360 --> 02:33:44.680
fool me, brother, And I thought it for for that.

2769
02:33:45.440 --> 02:33:48.280
And you didn't just stumble into all this accidentally, did you?

2770
02:33:48.840 --> 02:33:48.959
Oh?

2771
02:33:49.040 --> 02:33:52.319
I didn't, Wally. I figured Fiman had to be murdered.

2772
02:33:52.120 --> 02:33:52.680
By a copper.

2773
02:33:53.719 --> 02:33:55.680
No reward circuit was well enough to make a good

2774
02:33:55.760 --> 02:33:56.639
job of forging one.

2775
02:33:57.559 --> 02:34:01.120
What's it ensy? We printed that fire secular way, Wally. Now,

2776
02:34:01.120 --> 02:34:03.559
I'm not dragging anyone in with me. There's only a

2777
02:34:03.639 --> 02:34:04.840
poor mugg that needed dough.

2778
02:34:06.639 --> 02:34:07.280
Okay, Why.

2779
02:34:08.760 --> 02:34:10.559
You see, I knew only a Copple would be sure

2780
02:34:10.639 --> 02:34:12.760
enough of the routine, you know how things would be handled.

2781
02:34:13.639 --> 02:34:15.760
Only one of my coppers to be able to walk

2782
02:34:15.799 --> 02:34:18.559
in the Ferman's cell, hang them across the hat and

2783
02:34:18.680 --> 02:34:23.040
string them up on the Those bruises showed you know

2784
02:34:23.159 --> 02:34:26.360
what they did. I guess I should have wrapped two

2785
02:34:26.440 --> 02:34:30.120
towels around that black jack. Oh, jeez, Scott, I seemed

2786
02:34:30.159 --> 02:34:32.680
to have slipped up on a lot of things, so

2787
02:34:32.799 --> 02:34:34.360
that narrows it down to my coppers.

2788
02:34:34.440 --> 02:34:38.520
And well, you told me you knew the random woman.

2789
02:34:39.920 --> 02:34:40.440
There it was.

2790
02:34:41.360 --> 02:34:42.959
I figured you were working with him.

2791
02:34:44.280 --> 02:34:47.319
I got you like this wally, same thing that gets

2792
02:34:47.399 --> 02:34:50.440
most SAPs into jams a yen free easy dough. And

2793
02:34:50.559 --> 02:34:53.120
I was in New York Sea, Scott, working that Dutton

2794
02:34:53.239 --> 02:34:56.360
job for you, paling around with big shot racketeers, passing

2795
02:34:56.440 --> 02:34:59.200
for one of them. And yeah, well I got to

2796
02:34:59.280 --> 02:35:01.920
figure in that my work takes more brains than theirs,

2797
02:35:02.000 --> 02:35:04.000
and they're taking in big money and I'm working for

2798
02:35:04.079 --> 02:35:08.079
coffee and cakes. That kind of stuff gets scut anyway,

2799
02:35:08.120 --> 02:35:12.399
had gotten me, and I ran into this Ethel Furman

2800
02:35:12.479 --> 02:35:14.719
and she goes for me like a house afire.

2801
02:35:15.040 --> 02:35:17.520
I liked her too, see, so that's dandy.

2802
02:35:18.280 --> 02:35:20.200
But one night she tells me about how much do

2803
02:35:20.280 --> 02:35:22.719
her husband's got and how he feels about her, And

2804
02:35:22.920 --> 02:35:26.959
I get to thinking, thinking, what I think she's nuts

2805
02:35:27.079 --> 02:35:29.319
enough about me to marry me. So I got to

2806
02:35:29.399 --> 02:35:32.120
think him suppose he died and left her his role?

2807
02:35:33.319 --> 02:35:33.680
I see.

2808
02:35:34.000 --> 02:35:35.159
So I ran down to Philly.

2809
02:35:35.239 --> 02:35:38.239
A couple of afternoons and looked firming up and everything

2810
02:35:38.319 --> 02:35:41.799
looks fine. I took my time working out the details,

2811
02:35:42.000 --> 02:35:44.959
meanwhile writing to her through a fellow in Detroit, go

2812
02:35:45.120 --> 02:35:49.479
on finish one well, I decided to do it. I

2813
02:35:49.559 --> 02:35:51.680
sent those circulars out to a lot of places, not

2814
02:35:51.799 --> 02:35:53.920
want to point too much to this one. And then

2815
02:35:54.000 --> 02:35:56.280
when I was ready, I phoned Furman telling him to

2816
02:35:56.360 --> 02:35:58.799
come to Deer with hotel that night. And sometime before

2817
02:35:58.799 --> 02:36:01.159
the next night he'd hear from his wife Ethel. I

2818
02:36:01.239 --> 02:36:03.319
knew he'd fall for any trap that was baited with her.

2819
02:36:04.360 --> 02:36:07.079
Only I guess I'm not as sharp as I thought

2820
02:36:07.159 --> 02:36:13.239
I was. Scott, maybe, oh maybe, yeah, there'sn't always have.

2821
02:36:15.200 --> 02:36:18.879
Old Man Kemsley, Ben's father used to have a saying

2822
02:36:20.559 --> 02:36:24.000
to a sharp knife from was a tough stick.

2823
02:36:25.520 --> 02:36:27.520
He how you did it?

2824
02:36:27.600 --> 02:36:27.760
Why?

2825
02:36:29.280 --> 02:36:33.239
I always liked you. I know you did, Scott. I

2826
02:36:33.440 --> 02:37:06.600
was counting on that, And.

2827
02:37:07.159 --> 02:37:12.200
So ends Dashel Hammett's Two Sharp Knives, starring Steward Owen.

2828
02:37:13.399 --> 02:37:14.399
Tonight's story of.

2829
02:37:16.680 --> 02:37:23.319
Suspense Columbia presents these tales of mystery and intrigue and

2830
02:37:23.479 --> 02:37:26.959
dangerous adventure for your relaxation and enjoyment.

2831
02:37:30.959 --> 02:37:37.600
I can't help but think about perspective, how those two

2832
02:37:37.760 --> 02:37:43.360
knives could be a weapon for harm or for defense.

2833
02:37:45.239 --> 02:37:50.079
That's the way life is, my dear. Sometimes you have

2834
02:37:50.280 --> 02:37:54.959
to take a closer look at what you hold, dear,

2835
02:37:56.200 --> 02:38:01.000
and hope that maybe you can find the truth before

2836
02:38:01.120 --> 02:38:06.120
it finds you. Because just when you think you have

2837
02:38:06.239 --> 02:38:12.120
it all figured out, when you believe that nothing could

2838
02:38:12.159 --> 02:38:17.079
sneak up on you, well that could be because you

2839
02:38:17.440 --> 02:38:22.239
didn't notice something. A dark pattern.

2840
02:38:25.399 --> 02:38:26.719
The whistlers.

2841
02:38:36.639 --> 02:38:43.120
Presented by the United States Air Forces in Europe. I

2842
02:38:43.879 --> 02:38:46.520
am the whistler, and I know many things.

2843
02:38:46.840 --> 02:38:47.879
Or I walk by night.

2844
02:38:48.639 --> 02:38:51.760
I know many strange tales getting in the hearts of

2845
02:38:51.879 --> 02:38:54.840
men and women who have stepped into the shadows. Yeah,

2846
02:38:55.639 --> 02:38:58.399
I know the nameless terrors of which they there and

2847
02:38:58.479 --> 02:38:59.079
not speak.

2848
02:39:01.959 --> 02:39:06.879
And now the whistlers, strange story, dark patterns.

2849
02:39:12.719 --> 02:39:16.079
Normal wells. Paced nervously back and forth across the living

2850
02:39:16.159 --> 02:39:19.000
room of her bel air homes stop now at the

2851
02:39:19.079 --> 02:39:22.200
window to glance out into the night. The surrounding hills

2852
02:39:22.280 --> 02:39:26.680
bathed in bright moonlight, still and quiet except for the

2853
02:39:26.760 --> 02:39:31.440
barking of a dog nearby, and the barking stirs a strange,

2854
02:39:31.600 --> 02:39:36.440
uneasy feeling within you doesn't something you can't explain, but

2855
02:39:36.559 --> 02:39:39.360
it's there building slowly.

2856
02:39:41.520 --> 02:39:42.479
You whirl in the sound.

2857
02:39:44.440 --> 02:39:46.280
Yes, normal, darling?

2858
02:39:46.440 --> 02:39:48.040
Is it grin? Oh Glen?

2859
02:39:48.239 --> 02:39:49.479
How are you splendid?

2860
02:39:49.600 --> 02:39:51.520
The Allison's came out to pick it up and we're

2861
02:39:51.559 --> 02:39:53.280
all going over to their pace for dinner.

2862
02:39:54.000 --> 02:39:54.760
Would you join us?

2863
02:39:54.879 --> 02:39:57.680
Un Gwen, if you don't mind, I'd rather not.

2864
02:39:58.799 --> 02:39:59.760
It's nothing wrong.

2865
02:40:00.719 --> 02:40:01.559
He's on stream.

2866
02:40:02.079 --> 02:40:04.680
I don't suppose you've read the papers.

2867
02:40:04.920 --> 02:40:07.840
Oh heaven, no, have we been much too busy getting about?

2868
02:40:07.920 --> 02:40:08.159
Why?

2869
02:40:08.799 --> 02:40:11.239
What's happened? Benji?

2870
02:40:12.159 --> 02:40:13.840
Benjie your business?

2871
02:40:13.959 --> 02:40:14.319
Pardon it?

2872
02:40:14.559 --> 02:40:18.159
Yes, there was an accident at Indian Lake last night.

2873
02:40:19.600 --> 02:40:24.120
Benji was killed. You know, good?

2874
02:40:24.239 --> 02:40:26.200
Heaven's done well?

2875
02:40:26.239 --> 02:40:28.639
How in the wound is gone up there for the weekend?

2876
02:40:29.159 --> 02:40:32.239
Took his boat out on the lake and there was

2877
02:40:32.280 --> 02:40:36.319
an explosion? Oh Darling, how frights you?

2878
02:40:36.600 --> 02:40:37.440
Poor dear?

2879
02:40:37.840 --> 02:40:39.120
It was quite a shock.

2880
02:40:40.879 --> 02:40:42.920
You and Benji were such a good trin.

2881
02:40:43.920 --> 02:40:46.120
What a perfectly awful thing to happen.

2882
02:40:46.840 --> 02:40:47.879
Is there anything we can do?

2883
02:40:48.520 --> 02:40:49.200
Thanks, Glenn?

2884
02:40:49.799 --> 02:40:51.959
No, you're certain now.

2885
02:40:52.360 --> 02:40:53.879
Carrying out be more than happened?

2886
02:40:53.920 --> 02:40:56.280
No, no, really, but it's sweet of you, Glen.

2887
02:41:11.559 --> 02:41:13.760
A moment after you hang up, the phone. You return

2888
02:41:13.840 --> 02:41:17.440
to the window. The dog is started barking and howling again.

2889
02:41:17.520 --> 02:41:18.239
Hasn't been normous?

2890
02:41:18.879 --> 02:41:22.399
Yes, and you wonder why if there's someone out there.

2891
02:41:23.440 --> 02:41:26.000
You move quickly to the sliding glass door leading to

2892
02:41:26.079 --> 02:41:27.639
the patio, open it.

2893
02:41:29.440 --> 02:41:30.639
And you turn on the floodlight.

2894
02:41:32.000 --> 02:41:36.840
Patio is empty, step outside and glanced around, and then.

2895
02:41:36.760 --> 02:41:38.639
Hurry down the driveway, and.

2896
02:41:38.680 --> 02:41:41.920
You're suddenly aware that your heart is beating furiously, that

2897
02:41:42.079 --> 02:41:45.600
the tight, dry feeling in your throat isn't there normal now?

2898
02:41:45.719 --> 02:41:50.280
As you reach the road, Hello there, you recognize the

2899
02:41:50.360 --> 02:41:53.440
man as Arthur Morris, the neighbors, and then he hurries

2900
02:41:53.520 --> 02:41:53.920
towards you.

2901
02:41:55.200 --> 02:41:57.280
Good evening, Miss Well, hellous.

2902
02:41:57.879 --> 02:41:59.920
I don't know what's gotten into that dog that night

2903
02:42:00.040 --> 02:42:03.760
and hiring that way. I'm sorry if he started you.

2904
02:42:04.079 --> 02:42:06.000
I put him on the port again, but I don't

2905
02:42:06.079 --> 02:42:10.200
know how long did you stay, just that he doesn't

2906
02:42:10.319 --> 02:42:14.280
usually carry on that way unless there is someone around

2907
02:42:14.360 --> 02:42:19.120
this course of fowler. Did you see anyone? No, I haven't.

2908
02:42:19.440 --> 02:42:20.000
That's funny.

2909
02:42:21.079 --> 02:42:23.520
Of course, it might be an animal down from the hills,

2910
02:42:24.159 --> 02:42:27.319
and the possum. Probably he had to try. No need

2911
02:42:27.399 --> 02:42:33.840
for alarm, I suppose, oh, miss well, Yes, sorry to

2912
02:42:34.040 --> 02:42:37.239
read about what happened to your partner, mister Sloan. I

2913
02:42:37.440 --> 02:42:40.040
met him only once. They copy ill party you had

2914
02:42:40.120 --> 02:42:44.200
last all seems like an awfully nice fellow he was.

2915
02:42:51.639 --> 02:42:55.399
Yes, Norma, you owe your entire success the Benjamin Sloane.

2916
02:42:55.479 --> 02:42:59.840
Don't a fine home, money, a string of smart fashion cellar.

2917
02:43:00.399 --> 02:43:03.799
You owe it all to Benji, the partnership you've formed with,

2918
02:43:04.799 --> 02:43:07.719
and now that he's gone, everything you have owned jointly.

2919
02:43:07.440 --> 02:43:08.360
Will be all yours.

2920
02:43:09.680 --> 02:43:11.479
As you're about to re enter the house, you hear a.

2921
02:43:11.520 --> 02:43:12.239
Car approach it.

2922
02:43:13.559 --> 02:43:21.319
You turn, watch it pull up in the driveway. You

2923
02:43:21.440 --> 02:43:24.399
recognize the man as he gets out. It's Fred Lake,

2924
02:43:24.879 --> 02:43:29.159
the sheriff from Indian Lake. Good Evening its walls, Good Evening.

2925
02:43:29.879 --> 02:43:31.840
Had to make a business trip to la I thought

2926
02:43:31.840 --> 02:43:33.319
I'd dropped in to sea on the way back to

2927
02:43:33.360 --> 02:43:33.639
the lake.

2928
02:43:34.360 --> 02:43:36.959
I brusted this too. I forget it might be important.

2929
02:43:37.399 --> 02:43:40.319
Oh yeah, from my office files.

2930
02:43:40.079 --> 02:43:44.399
Founded in mister Sloane's suite as a large Yes, Benji just.

2931
02:43:44.559 --> 02:43:47.079
Loan often took the fold of business. Let it whilake.

2932
02:43:47.399 --> 02:43:48.200
Thank you very much.

2933
02:43:48.360 --> 02:43:48.879
It's okay.

2934
02:43:49.959 --> 02:43:52.239
Tell me have you have you found him yet?

2935
02:43:52.520 --> 02:43:54.959
Afraid not as well? We've had men dragging the lake

2936
02:43:54.959 --> 02:43:55.559
since early.

2937
02:43:55.440 --> 02:43:57.479
This morning, but no sign of the body.

2938
02:43:58.120 --> 02:43:58.559
I see.

2939
02:43:59.520 --> 02:44:02.600
Strange. Yes, I was sure we'd have found him long

2940
02:44:02.680 --> 02:44:13.879
before this. Yeah, strange, very strange. You watched the sheriff

2941
02:44:14.000 --> 02:44:17.159
drive away, then turn and walk slowly into the house.

2942
02:44:17.879 --> 02:44:20.559
There's been no sign of Benjamin Plown's body in armor,

2943
02:44:21.239 --> 02:44:24.360
and that nervous, uneasy feeling with then you continues to grow.

2944
02:44:25.360 --> 02:44:26.000
You hurry to the.

2945
02:44:26.000 --> 02:44:33.559
Telephone and call a malible number. Hello is mister Mason,

2946
02:44:33.639 --> 02:44:34.280
and change.

2947
02:44:34.040 --> 02:44:36.959
This is Miss well Before is all Palmers?

2948
02:44:37.079 --> 02:44:39.719
Will I know that he was to be back this afternoon.

2949
02:44:40.280 --> 02:44:41.239
Come back, miss Wilf.

2950
02:44:41.920 --> 02:44:44.840
I see all right, Jane, have him call me the minute.

2951
02:44:44.639 --> 02:44:46.879
He gets in Williams, who will tell me?

2952
02:44:47.000 --> 02:44:53.239
So it's too cold, something wrong, you can sense it,

2953
02:44:53.360 --> 02:44:57.920
cancer armor. You start pacing the room again, nervously, twisting

2954
02:44:57.959 --> 02:45:01.639
the handkerchief in your hands. The dog is blocking again,

2955
02:45:02.639 --> 02:45:05.959
and then suddenly you'll hear something else, a noise out

2956
02:45:06.000 --> 02:45:08.879
in the patio. Quickly you turn off the living room lights,

2957
02:45:09.399 --> 02:45:12.879
stand in the darkness for a moment. There's someone out

2958
02:45:12.920 --> 02:45:13.840
there norma.

2959
02:45:14.200 --> 02:45:15.200
Yeah, a man.

2960
02:45:16.319 --> 02:45:17.719
You can see him moving towards you.

2961
02:45:18.440 --> 02:45:19.399
You want to turn and run.

2962
02:45:19.479 --> 02:45:20.079
But you can't.

2963
02:45:20.600 --> 02:45:21.840
You can't move at all.

2964
02:45:24.159 --> 02:45:33.040
Norma you remember, oh, Rick, tell me, Rick, that's the

2965
02:45:33.159 --> 02:45:34.200
idea of turning off the light.

2966
02:45:34.280 --> 02:45:38.120
I heard a noise, didn't know who it was.

2967
02:45:38.399 --> 02:45:39.360
Why haven't you called me?

2968
02:45:39.520 --> 02:45:40.639
I just got back from the lake.

2969
02:45:41.000 --> 02:45:42.719
I was coming here when I saw the sheriff's car

2970
02:45:42.840 --> 02:45:44.879
turn into your driveway, So I drove down the block,

2971
02:45:45.520 --> 02:45:46.079
walked back.

2972
02:45:46.959 --> 02:45:47.520
What do you want?

2973
02:45:47.760 --> 02:45:49.920
Just saw some business letters and you've taken with him

2974
02:45:49.920 --> 02:45:53.479
to the lake. He also told me they've been dragging

2975
02:45:53.559 --> 02:45:56.239
the lake and they haven't found Benjie's body yet.

2976
02:45:56.479 --> 02:45:58.559
I know that's why I sit up there as long

2977
02:45:58.600 --> 02:46:01.000
as I did. Don't worry. They'll find it soon.

2978
02:46:01.639 --> 02:46:02.200
Are you sure?

2979
02:46:02.440 --> 02:46:06.000
But sure? I'm sure. Look, everything went just the way

2980
02:46:06.040 --> 02:46:06.479
we planned.

2981
02:46:06.520 --> 02:46:08.440
I set up the booby trap, saw Benji take the

2982
02:46:08.479 --> 02:46:09.040
boat out.

2983
02:46:08.920 --> 02:46:09.879
Saw the explosion.

2984
02:46:10.840 --> 02:46:11.760
Everything is okay.

2985
02:46:11.920 --> 02:46:12.239
Normal.

2986
02:46:12.879 --> 02:46:14.719
Nobody could have survived that explosion.

2987
02:46:14.799 --> 02:46:16.399
And why haven't they recovered the body?

2988
02:46:17.479 --> 02:46:18.920
I don't know, Give them time.

2989
02:46:18.959 --> 02:46:22.440
I don't like it, Rick, I don't like this at all.

2990
02:46:23.760 --> 02:46:26.079
Something's wrong, Gop, take it easy.

2991
02:46:26.159 --> 02:46:26.440
Normal.

2992
02:46:28.120 --> 02:46:29.719
Suppose Benji is alive.

2993
02:46:30.000 --> 02:46:34.000
Rick alive, and he suspects we set that trap.

2994
02:46:34.120 --> 02:46:35.959
Point now if I haven't say, stopped talking like.

2995
02:46:35.959 --> 02:46:36.760
That, I can't help it.

2996
02:46:38.239 --> 02:46:40.000
Just stop stealing that he's alive.

2997
02:46:55.360 --> 02:46:55.920
He couldn't.

2998
02:46:56.559 --> 02:47:02.120
I tell you, Benji couldn't have survived that explosion. All right, they.

2999
02:47:02.040 --> 02:47:08.479
Have I mistaken my nurse say same fix Sometimes you're

3000
02:47:08.600 --> 02:47:11.159
right and he couldn't be alive.

3001
02:47:11.479 --> 02:47:13.000
I saw it with my own eyes.

3002
02:47:13.239 --> 02:47:13.840
Explosion.

3003
02:47:14.280 --> 02:47:16.000
It happened in the middle of the lake. He couldn't

3004
02:47:16.040 --> 02:47:16.600
have lived through.

3005
02:47:16.760 --> 02:47:17.360
I'm sorry.

3006
02:47:17.440 --> 02:47:18.319
I got to upset.

3007
02:47:20.159 --> 02:47:21.159
Come, let's have a drink.

3008
02:47:22.079 --> 02:47:24.079
Yeah, and I could use one.

3009
02:47:24.280 --> 02:47:27.760
Sure, you'll have a drink, Rick, They get empty.

3010
02:47:28.719 --> 02:47:35.040
There's nothing to worry about, but there is normal, Yes,

3011
02:47:35.200 --> 02:47:38.680
a lot to worry about. You can't explain the feeling

3012
02:47:38.799 --> 02:47:41.959
you have that something is wrong, but you know you've

3013
02:47:42.000 --> 02:47:44.920
got to calm Rick, showing you're not afraid that everything's

3014
02:47:44.959 --> 02:47:48.959
all right. Long after he's gone, you think about what's happened,

3015
02:47:49.559 --> 02:47:52.360
try to convince yourself that perhaps it really is only

3016
02:47:52.440 --> 02:47:53.200
your imagination.

3017
02:47:53.719 --> 02:47:55.920
Because your nerves are on edge.

3018
02:47:56.920 --> 02:48:04.440
Still, you spend the sleepless night, aware of every resound outside, wondering, waiting, watching.

3019
02:48:05.680 --> 02:48:08.440
Early the following morning, you get into your car and

3020
02:48:08.600 --> 02:48:14.680
drive up to Indian Lake to the Sheriff's office. Oh,

3021
02:48:15.159 --> 02:48:16.680
good morning, well, good morning.

3022
02:48:16.920 --> 02:48:17.760
I'm glad you're here.

3023
02:48:20.079 --> 02:48:20.959
I was about to call you.

3024
02:48:21.520 --> 02:48:21.680
Oh.

3025
02:48:22.239 --> 02:48:27.799
Yes, we we found mister Sloan. Oh you you have

3026
02:48:28.280 --> 02:48:31.360
and recovered his body less than an hour ago. I

3027
02:48:31.520 --> 02:48:35.559
see he taking his course that it's positive, found all

3028
02:48:35.600 --> 02:48:39.000
the identification we needed on the body. I don't see

3029
02:48:39.120 --> 02:48:45.319
you want no tell me miss well, did mister Sloan

3030
02:48:45.440 --> 02:48:51.280
have any enemies enemy? Yes, you see a guess that

3031
02:48:51.399 --> 02:48:53.520
the Lord just returned from my honting trip up into

3032
02:48:53.520 --> 02:48:56.399
the mountains. When he heard about mister Sloane's accident, he

3033
02:48:56.559 --> 02:48:59.360
came straight to us. Seems that he happened to see

3034
02:48:59.399 --> 02:49:02.000
someone hanging around mister Sloane's boat on the night of

3035
02:49:02.079 --> 02:49:05.959
the accident, is acting suspiciously. He didn't think too much

3036
02:49:05.959 --> 02:49:08.120
about it then, of course, but when he got back

3037
02:49:08.200 --> 02:49:10.040
this morning heard what had happened.

3038
02:49:10.079 --> 02:49:13.319
You mean you think that perhaps it wasn't an accident,

3039
02:49:13.399 --> 02:49:16.920
that someone deliberately planned to kill mister Sloane.

3040
02:49:17.680 --> 02:49:18.680
Is that possibility?

3041
02:49:18.840 --> 02:49:19.760
But that's incredible.

3042
02:49:19.799 --> 02:49:21.959
Perhaps still, if.

3043
02:49:21.879 --> 02:49:24.440
We can find the man who was seen hanging around

3044
02:49:24.520 --> 02:49:27.399
the boat, you you have a description of him, Oh,

3045
02:49:28.000 --> 02:49:32.799
vaguely yes. Kirtland thinks he might recognize the man if he.

3046
02:49:32.840 --> 02:49:33.440
Saw him again.

3047
02:49:36.959 --> 02:49:39.319
Benjamin Sloan is out of your way, isn't he not.

3048
02:49:39.760 --> 02:49:42.840
You're certain of that now, and that's the relief. But

3049
02:49:43.000 --> 02:49:47.719
there's something else to worry about. Rick. Yeah, he was

3050
02:49:47.799 --> 02:49:50.040
seen near Benji's boat on the night of the accident,

3051
02:49:50.760 --> 02:49:53.799
and there's a man who can perhaps identify him. A

3052
02:49:53.879 --> 02:49:56.879
two minutes later, you leave the office, the sheriff walks

3053
02:49:56.920 --> 02:49:58.000
with you out to the street.

3054
02:50:00.639 --> 02:50:02.399
Going to stay on here at the village for a

3055
02:50:02.479 --> 02:50:05.280
long well, yes, I'll be checking in at the lodge

3056
02:50:05.680 --> 02:50:06.719
if I can give any.

3057
02:50:06.559 --> 02:50:07.079
Help in here.

3058
02:50:07.920 --> 02:50:12.000
Oh. Incidentally, I talked with mister Sloan's brother this morning

3059
02:50:12.040 --> 02:50:14.680
over the phone. Thanks, that's right. He gave me a

3060
02:50:14.760 --> 02:50:18.879
list of some of mister Sloan's friends acquaintances tee. He

3061
02:50:18.920 --> 02:50:22.159
didn't seem to know very much about his brother's activities. However,

3062
02:50:22.399 --> 02:50:24.559
he said they hadn't seen one another too often during

3063
02:50:24.559 --> 02:50:28.559
the past several years. Yes, that's true, nothing wrong between them,

3064
02:50:28.639 --> 02:50:31.719
I suppose. No, they were on the best of terms.

3065
02:50:31.760 --> 02:50:35.079
It was just as well they had different interests, and

3066
02:50:35.840 --> 02:50:37.200
Frank did spend a great deal.

3067
02:50:37.120 --> 02:50:41.239
Of time back heat uh huh. He mentioned that anyway.

3068
02:50:41.360 --> 02:50:44.159
Here's a list of names he gave me mutual friends

3069
02:50:44.200 --> 02:50:46.959
of theirs. I think you could add to it as well.

3070
02:50:47.840 --> 02:50:50.120
May I ask what this list his poet?

3071
02:50:50.360 --> 02:50:51.639
Oh, we're just checking.

3072
02:50:51.799 --> 02:50:53.799
That's all routine, and like to talk.

3073
02:50:53.719 --> 02:50:55.600
With some of these people, see if we can dig

3074
02:50:55.760 --> 02:50:56.239
up something.

3075
02:50:57.600 --> 02:51:03.000
You really think that mister Sloan's accident it wasn't an accident, don't.

3076
02:51:02.799 --> 02:51:07.559
You As I said before, its well it's a possibility.

3077
02:51:15.399 --> 02:51:17.440
You spend the greater part of the day in your

3078
02:51:17.520 --> 02:51:20.079
room with the lodge, thinking over your next move, don't

3079
02:51:20.120 --> 02:51:24.280
you know, wondering how much the police really know, if

3080
02:51:24.319 --> 02:51:25.840
the sheriff has told you everything.

3081
02:51:26.920 --> 02:51:30.159
And then late that afternoon, there's a knock on your door.

3082
02:51:33.639 --> 02:51:36.719
Hello, sweight Nick, What are you doing here? Well, you

3083
02:51:36.799 --> 02:51:40.479
don't seem very glad to see him. Come in. I

3084
02:51:40.559 --> 02:51:42.559
heard about Benji on the radio. That's why I drove

3085
02:51:42.680 --> 02:51:47.319
up here to be with you. Come on, smile, everything's over.

3086
02:51:47.479 --> 02:51:48.399
You gotta wait for me.

3087
02:51:49.520 --> 02:51:50.520
What's the matter, honey?

3088
02:51:50.920 --> 02:51:54.639
You maybe what's wrong with words everything?

3089
02:51:55.680 --> 02:51:58.360
Someone saw you hanging around Benji's boat the other night.

3090
02:51:59.200 --> 02:52:04.719
What Oh, it can't be take the Sheriff's word for it.

3091
02:52:04.920 --> 02:52:06.200
Someone saw me.

3092
02:52:07.399 --> 02:52:07.920
Wait a minute.

3093
02:52:07.920 --> 02:52:10.120
I I better get out of here as fast as

3094
02:52:10.159 --> 02:52:10.520
you can.

3095
02:52:10.680 --> 02:52:10.840
Rick.

3096
02:52:11.000 --> 02:52:13.920
This isn't good, not good at all. I'm gonna jam.

3097
02:52:14.000 --> 02:52:15.920
Huh what am I gonna do?

3098
02:52:16.079 --> 02:52:16.360
Norma?

3099
02:52:16.479 --> 02:52:19.559
I take it easy. They don't know who you are,

3100
02:52:20.159 --> 02:52:21.520
they just have a descript.

3101
02:52:21.239 --> 02:52:24.280
Yeah, but if they start trying, I know you got

3102
02:52:24.399 --> 02:52:25.760
to get back to Malibu right away.

3103
02:52:26.159 --> 02:52:28.399
Norma. You're gonna stick by me.

3104
02:52:28.520 --> 02:52:28.680
Huh.

3105
02:52:28.719 --> 02:52:32.840
Of course we don't figure something out, Sure, Sure, we'll

3106
02:52:32.879 --> 02:52:33.799
figure something, Norma.

3107
02:52:34.319 --> 02:52:36.920
Now go on, we'll talk this all out later.

3108
02:52:37.079 --> 02:52:41.520
Okay, okay, but when Norma.

3109
02:52:41.440 --> 02:52:44.440
Tonight, I'll be at your place in Malibour around nine

3110
02:52:44.600 --> 02:52:44.719
or so.

3111
02:52:59.719 --> 02:53:02.680
Yeah, Nick, it's normal.

3112
02:53:06.760 --> 02:53:07.399
Oh, Norma.

3113
02:53:10.760 --> 02:53:13.559
King James out for the evening. I said him out

3114
02:53:13.600 --> 02:53:17.479
so I could talk to you alone. It's a serious business.

3115
02:53:17.559 --> 02:53:18.879
Normal set down.

3116
02:53:20.719 --> 02:53:22.280
Rick has been thinking things over?

3117
02:53:22.520 --> 02:53:23.120
Have you normal?

3118
02:53:24.520 --> 02:53:24.959
So have I?

3119
02:53:25.879 --> 02:53:26.639
What does that mean?

3120
02:53:27.200 --> 02:53:27.360
Here?

3121
02:53:28.479 --> 02:53:31.200
Have you got to look at the night's paper? The

3122
02:53:31.319 --> 02:53:36.319
story is on page one about Benji, so so there's

3123
02:53:36.399 --> 02:53:39.639
nothing there about a witness say, nothing about someone being

3124
02:53:39.719 --> 02:53:42.559
seen around Benji's Both the police know what they're doing.

3125
02:53:43.000 --> 02:53:43.719
Really normal?

3126
02:53:45.040 --> 02:53:45.879
What are you getting that?

3127
02:53:46.440 --> 02:53:48.079
You said you've been thinking things over?

3128
02:53:49.200 --> 02:53:50.000
What are you a plan.

3129
02:53:51.920 --> 02:53:55.959
I think you better leave town, Rick, I suggest Mexico.

3130
02:53:56.239 --> 02:53:58.879
Yeah, sure, that's exactly what I figured you had in mind.

3131
02:53:59.000 --> 02:53:59.600
What do you mean?

3132
02:54:00.520 --> 02:54:02.680
The lady says the cops are looking for you. They

3133
02:54:02.760 --> 02:54:05.760
will be who says, so you look?

3134
02:54:05.879 --> 02:54:06.079
Rick?

3135
02:54:06.879 --> 02:54:10.000
I'm only telling you what the sheriff told me. Someone

3136
02:54:10.120 --> 02:54:12.040
saw you hanging around Benjie's boat.

3137
02:54:12.079 --> 02:54:13.319
It's the truth, is it, Norma.

3138
02:54:14.520 --> 02:54:16.959
I think you're lying what I think you're taking me

3139
02:54:17.040 --> 02:54:17.559
for a ride.

3140
02:54:17.680 --> 02:54:20.840
See sure, you're crazy about me. So I do your

3141
02:54:20.879 --> 02:54:22.600
dirty work, get rid of your partner so you can

3142
02:54:22.680 --> 02:54:26.719
have the business all yourself only. I think you're springing

3143
02:54:26.719 --> 02:54:27.440
a little old Rick.

3144
02:54:27.559 --> 02:54:28.600
I don't follow this at all.

3145
02:54:28.760 --> 02:54:30.600
Like I said, I do your dirty work, and then

3146
02:54:30.639 --> 02:54:32.159
you dream up a little yre and to scare me

3147
02:54:32.239 --> 02:54:32.680
out of town.

3148
02:54:32.760 --> 02:54:33.559
Why would I do that?

3149
02:54:34.920 --> 02:54:36.840
Maybe there's another guy you're interested in.

3150
02:54:36.959 --> 02:54:42.040
Huh, Harry Grayson. Maybe Harry, don't be a fool.

3151
02:54:42.159 --> 02:54:43.200
When's my best friend?

3152
02:54:43.319 --> 02:54:43.959
Oh? Sure?

3153
02:54:44.239 --> 02:54:45.239
If that would stop you?

3154
02:54:47.040 --> 02:54:47.200
Is it?

3155
02:54:47.280 --> 02:54:47.520
Harry?

3156
02:54:47.760 --> 02:54:48.959
You're talking like a child, am I?

3157
02:54:49.079 --> 02:54:52.239
Norm Rick?

3158
02:54:52.760 --> 02:54:53.360
Listen to me.

3159
02:54:54.840 --> 02:54:56.319
I'm not making all this up.

3160
02:54:56.559 --> 02:54:58.000
What I've told you is the truth.

3161
02:54:58.920 --> 02:55:02.239
Someone did see you hanging around Benji's boat, someone who

3162
02:55:02.319 --> 02:55:03.799
might be able to identify you.

3163
02:55:04.479 --> 02:55:08.159
Sure, so now I'm supposed to clear up Mexico.

3164
02:55:08.440 --> 02:55:09.879
Uh, why it's safe? Rick?

3165
02:55:10.079 --> 02:55:10.399
Please?

3166
02:55:10.600 --> 02:55:15.600
Sorry, it won't work. Normal, I'm not going anywhere. I'm

3167
02:55:15.639 --> 02:55:16.600
staying right here.

3168
02:55:16.719 --> 02:55:18.879
You're being a fool, Rick, Now listen.

3169
02:55:18.760 --> 02:55:22.959
To they've your breast. Normal, I'm staying right here.

3170
02:55:30.920 --> 02:55:32.000
It's no use, Norma.

3171
02:55:32.159 --> 02:55:34.600
Rick is made up his mind think you're going to

3172
02:55:34.680 --> 02:55:37.280
double cross it, and he refuses to listen to you.

3173
02:55:38.360 --> 02:55:40.680
You drive on back to your home to think things out.

3174
02:55:41.680 --> 02:55:44.040
It's only a matter of time before the police get

3175
02:55:44.079 --> 02:55:44.840
around to him, and.

3176
02:55:44.840 --> 02:55:45.719
Then it'll be all over.

3177
02:55:46.360 --> 02:55:49.639
You're certain that Rick will crack tell everything, and that's

3178
02:55:49.719 --> 02:55:53.319
something you've got to prevent from happening. There is a way,

3179
02:55:53.399 --> 02:55:57.799
isn't it, Norma. Yes, And suddenly you realize how little

3180
02:55:57.879 --> 02:55:58.879
Rick actually.

3181
02:55:58.680 --> 02:55:59.200
Means to you.

3182
02:56:00.159 --> 02:56:02.239
Rick was only a means for you to get what

3183
02:56:02.399 --> 02:56:04.719
you wanted, and now that you have it, he's no

3184
02:56:04.879 --> 02:56:08.440
longer important. It's on your mind all that night what

3185
02:56:08.559 --> 02:56:11.680
you must do. But the following morning, you receive a

3186
02:56:11.760 --> 02:56:13.879
telephone call from Sheriff Layton.

3187
02:56:14.559 --> 02:56:16.559
Do you happen to know a man named Reagan as

3188
02:56:16.639 --> 02:56:19.319
well as Mike Reagan used to be mister sloan chauffeur.

3189
02:56:19.760 --> 02:56:23.440
Why, yes, but mister Sloan fired him quite some time ago.

3190
02:56:23.680 --> 02:56:26.360
Reagan, I understand it was pretty sore about that. He

3191
02:56:26.559 --> 02:56:27.600
threatened mister Sloan.

3192
02:56:28.440 --> 02:56:31.639
Yes, now that you mentioned it, he did.

3193
02:56:32.040 --> 02:56:35.280
Reagan was seen hanging around Indian Lake by several people

3194
02:56:35.399 --> 02:56:37.120
on the night of mister Sloan's accident.

3195
02:56:37.600 --> 02:56:37.959
He won.

3196
02:56:38.479 --> 02:56:40.639
Yes, and the description we have of the man seen

3197
02:56:40.719 --> 02:56:42.719
near the boat fits Reagan pretty well.

3198
02:56:45.000 --> 02:56:47.879
I don't know what to say, Sheriff. I wouldn't want

3199
02:56:47.879 --> 02:56:52.079
to throw suspicion on anyone unfairly, but Reagan was frightfully

3200
02:56:52.159 --> 02:56:56.120
angry when mister Sloan discharged him. Reagan said he'd get

3201
02:56:56.200 --> 02:56:58.479
mister Sloan if it was the last thing he ever did.

3202
02:56:59.040 --> 02:57:00.719
Any idea where we I'd locate him?

3203
02:57:01.559 --> 02:57:03.639
Yes, As a matter of fact, I do you see?

3204
02:57:04.280 --> 02:57:06.760
After missus Long fired him, Reagan came to me and

3205
02:57:07.440 --> 02:57:10.559
asked me to help him find a job. I felt

3206
02:57:10.600 --> 02:57:12.440
sorry for him and told him I'd see what I

3207
02:57:12.479 --> 02:57:17.479
could do with you. Yes, he did the arch Motel

3208
02:57:18.239 --> 02:57:18.920
Ocean View.

3209
02:57:35.159 --> 02:57:37.600
Well, hello, no, I'm matter what brings you around this

3210
02:57:37.680 --> 02:57:38.520
since normal mind?

3211
02:57:38.559 --> 02:57:39.000
If I come in.

3212
02:57:39.079 --> 02:57:40.280
I've got some music come in.

3213
02:57:41.520 --> 02:57:46.280
I got to talk to Hookwick. Completely sure positive Remember

3214
02:57:46.399 --> 02:57:48.159
Mike Reagan, Benji's chauffeur.

3215
02:57:49.040 --> 02:57:49.360
Reagan.

3216
02:57:49.559 --> 02:57:52.079
Yes, Sheriff Layton called me this morning and told me

3217
02:57:52.159 --> 02:57:55.200
Reagan was seen at Indian Lake the night of Benji's accident.

3218
02:57:55.879 --> 02:57:56.840
Well that was all I needed.

3219
02:57:57.079 --> 02:57:57.520
What do you mean?

3220
02:57:57.639 --> 02:57:59.799
I gave the sheriff a story that will convict Mike

3221
02:58:00.239 --> 02:58:03.159
for Benji's killing as sure as if he'd done it normally.

3222
02:58:03.280 --> 02:58:05.360
I told him Reagan had threatened to get Benjie if

3223
02:58:05.360 --> 02:58:06.760
it was the last thing he ever did.

3224
02:58:07.520 --> 02:58:09.000
He adds a beautifully rick.

3225
02:58:09.479 --> 02:58:11.360
Someone saw him near the scene of the accident.

3226
02:58:11.799 --> 02:58:13.319
His reputation is not too good.

3227
02:58:13.360 --> 02:58:14.479
In my story.

3228
02:58:14.280 --> 02:58:15.280
Supplied the motive.

3229
02:58:30.600 --> 02:58:33.000
You're certain you're in the clear, now, aren't you, Norma

3230
02:58:33.239 --> 02:58:36.920
you and Raing, Yes, because a man named Mike Reagan

3231
02:58:37.079 --> 02:58:39.840
was seen at Indian Lake on the night of Benjamin

3232
02:58:39.959 --> 02:58:43.799
Sloan's accident. And now that you've told the sheriff your

3233
02:58:43.840 --> 02:58:46.719
little story, you're certain that Reagan will be picked up

3234
02:58:46.760 --> 02:58:50.000
by the police because they know that he had threatened

3235
02:58:50.079 --> 02:58:51.200
Sloan at one time.

3236
02:58:51.360 --> 02:58:53.639
Normal, do you think they'll find Reagan?

3237
02:58:53.799 --> 02:58:58.799
I'm sure of it warn him. Wait a minute, that accident,

3238
02:58:58.920 --> 02:59:01.520
I said, I rigged up a booby trap on Benji's boat.

3239
02:59:02.120 --> 02:59:06.040
I didn't do it what I wanted to normal for you,

3240
02:59:06.239 --> 02:59:07.719
But at the last minute I lost my nerve.

3241
02:59:07.719 --> 02:59:08.600
I couldn't go through with it.

3242
02:59:08.680 --> 02:59:09.159
I couldn't.

3243
02:59:10.239 --> 02:59:11.680
I didn't want to tell you because of what you

3244
02:59:11.799 --> 02:59:15.799
think of me that I was soft weed. I am

3245
02:59:15.920 --> 02:59:18.360
norm I am What are you trying to tell me?

3246
02:59:18.520 --> 02:59:18.680
Rick?

3247
02:59:19.239 --> 02:59:22.680
I knew how much Reagan I hated Sloan, so so

3248
02:59:22.799 --> 02:59:24.079
I hired him to do the job.

3249
02:59:24.639 --> 02:59:29.959
You you're still with fool? Okay, okay, So now I've

3250
02:59:30.000 --> 02:59:31.159
got to get to Reagan water and.

3251
02:59:31.719 --> 02:59:33.680
The COT's level is still everything in that.

3252
02:59:34.520 --> 02:59:35.319
But what's the matter?

3253
02:59:35.399 --> 02:59:35.440
What?

3254
02:59:37.440 --> 02:59:37.559
Oh?

3255
02:59:37.680 --> 02:59:37.879
Miss?

3256
02:59:37.959 --> 02:59:38.200
Well?

3257
02:59:39.600 --> 02:59:43.840
This I gathered and see Rick Mason. I'm Sheriff Layton,

3258
02:59:43.920 --> 02:59:45.200

Time, Kincaid.

3260
02:59:46.959 --> 02:59:48.200
Are you going somewhere?

3261
02:59:48.719 --> 02:59:48.920
Why?

3262
02:59:49.360 --> 02:59:50.360
Yes, it is Reagan.

3263
02:59:50.440 --> 02:59:51.040
You ought to see.

3264
02:59:51.120 --> 02:59:54.239
We'll be glad to take it to him at police headquarters.

3265
02:59:55.239 --> 02:59:56.840
He told us the whole story.

3266
03:00:01.319 --> 03:00:01.559
More.

3267
03:00:06.440 --> 03:00:11.000
Well, now, my dear, I suppose a little lighthearted music

3268
03:00:11.159 --> 03:00:15.440
is in order as we wrap up our fun evening.

3269
03:00:16.120 --> 03:00:21.319
I do so appreciate your time and energy, and I

3270
03:00:21.440 --> 03:00:24.639
hope you enjoyed yourself too. Now, of course, I'll be

3271
03:00:24.879 --> 03:00:28.559
right here anytime you want to see me, same time,

3272
03:00:28.840 --> 03:00:32.840
same place, although I have felt the desire to get

3273
03:00:32.879 --> 03:00:36.079
out a little bit more than perhaps I used to. Well,

3274
03:00:36.280 --> 03:00:39.879
we'll see. But for now you know where to find me.

3275
03:00:40.959 --> 03:00:43.959
And now, if I may ask, before you go back

3276
03:00:44.040 --> 03:00:46.399
to your home and I head back to where it

3277
03:00:46.559 --> 03:00:51.559
is I come from, do me this one favor. As

3278
03:00:51.600 --> 03:00:56.399
you head home through the dark streets and sidewalks covered

3279
03:00:56.479 --> 03:01:00.200
in fall leaves, and as you lay your head head

3280
03:01:00.239 --> 03:01:04.840
on that soft pillow in your warm comfybag, take one

3281
03:01:04.959 --> 03:01:07.360
moment and be thankful.

3282
03:01:07.520 --> 03:01:08.079
For what you have.

3283
03:01:09.200 --> 03:01:10.079
I'll be seeing you
