1
00:00:09.560 --> 00:00:13.560
Well, hello there. So nice
to have you join me once again.

2
00:00:13.880 --> 00:00:19.239
You know we're getting close to all
hallo z Eves. I wasn't sure if

3
00:00:19.239 --> 00:00:24.600
i'd see you again. Perhaps you
were too busy with a party or some

4
00:00:24.719 --> 00:00:30.640
kind of lively get together. Oh
what's that? Oh no, no,

5
00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:35.399
no, nowhere for me to go. No, I just rest here,

6
00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:45.240
planning and plotting for things I may
do some day. Well, I have

7
00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:51.280
some good zoos. I'm not going
anywhere, my dear. I'll be here

8
00:00:51.359 --> 00:00:56.960
for you whenever you look for me. Just come back the same night,

9
00:00:58.560 --> 00:01:03.239
and I'll be waiting. Since it
is the time of ghosts and fears,

10
00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:08.159
I've picked a very special one to
get us started, and I hope you

11
00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:14.359
don't mind of picked a few extra
stories for you. This one is called

12
00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:19.200
Hello down There, but I've always
known it as the Signal Man. It's

13
00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:23.200
a great classic. I know you'll
enjoy it. Now, sip your tea

14
00:01:23.359 --> 00:02:12.479
and relax. Oh. When the
signal Man heard my voice thus calling to

15
00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:15.560
him, he was standing at the
door of his box with a flag in

16
00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:21.479
his hand, furled round its short
pole. One would have thought he could

17
00:02:21.479 --> 00:02:24.879
not have doubted from what quarter the
boys came, but instead of looking up

18
00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:30.199
to where I stood on the top
of the steet cutting over the railway line.

19
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:40.000
He turned himself about and looked down
the line. There was something remarkable

20
00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:49.800
about the man. The boy stood
clothing strange, perhaps uncanny, but certainly

21
00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:55.319
I would have termed such a fort
mere imagination. Then I know now what

22
00:02:55.719 --> 00:03:02.039
was remarkable about that man. And
even though the past, I still see

23
00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:09.080
his figure foreshortened and shadowed down in
the deep trench. I figure high above

24
00:03:09.159 --> 00:03:14.960
him, so steeped in the glow
of an angry sunset, that I shaded

25
00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:25.159
my eyes with my hand before I
saw him at all. Oh by like

26
00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:49.159
a pump down biotechs the new Soak
and pre Washed Powder presents Beyond Midnight by

27
00:03:49.400 --> 00:03:53.800
Michael McKay. Now that is worth
speaking about biotechs in a series of programs.

28
00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:57.599
And Missus E. B. Granger
of Gordon Road, Heathfield and the

29
00:03:57.639 --> 00:04:01.319
Cape wrote to say that she decided
to try our biotechs just to see if

30
00:04:01.319 --> 00:04:04.520
it lived up for our clims,
since he said, I bought a packet

31
00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:10.080
and lo and behold, it actually
did just what the advert said. I'm

32
00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:14.439
so proud of the children's white shirts, the Hankes and the underwear that I

33
00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:17.439
want to say, it will be
Biotechs for me every washing day from now

34
00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:23.439
on. Some of my family's accessories
were left with sight stains, but now

35
00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:29.519
thanks to Biotechs soaking, they come
out white and the stains do go away.

36
00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:33.399
As you say now, that is
the statement from Missus Granger heath Field

37
00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:36.160
of the Cape, and it bears
up what we have been saying to you

38
00:04:36.279 --> 00:04:41.839
ladies ever since Biotechs first came on
the market. We said to you it

39
00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:46.040
is different to any washing product that
you've ever used before. We claim that

40
00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:53.600
the stubborner stains will vanish, and
people like Missus Granger bear out our claims.

41
00:04:53.959 --> 00:05:26.160
Remember biotechts. I climed down and
approached the man. He stood now

42
00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:30.879
with his left hand at his chin, his right hand across his breast.

43
00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:36.399
His pulse was in a solitary and
dismal place as ever I saw. There

44
00:05:36.439 --> 00:05:43.000
was an earthy, deadly smell,
and little sunlight penetrated down the line and

45
00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:49.519
signal box. A gloomy entrance of
a black tunnel yawned. I stopped a

46
00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:54.920
few feet in front of the man, and suddenly he stepped back and raised

47
00:05:54.959 --> 00:06:00.680
his right hand. Ah, something
in the man that daunted me. This

48
00:06:00.920 --> 00:06:05.199
is a lonesome post to occupy a
visitor, I should think must be a

49
00:06:05.319 --> 00:06:11.680
rarity. I looked down from up
yonder and felt the need to come down.

50
00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:17.720
Signal boxes have always riveted my attention. He directed a most curious look

51
00:06:17.879 --> 00:06:24.079
towards the red light near the tunnel's
bow. The light is in your charge

52
00:06:24.279 --> 00:06:29.639
or not? Don't you don't you
know? It is a monstrous thought came

53
00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:34.000
into my mind. This was a
spirit, not a man. I stepped

54
00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:41.639
back, and then I detected and
eyes some latent feel me. You look

55
00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:46.399
at me as if you hadn't read
on me. I was doubtful whether I

56
00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:53.279
had seen you before. Well,
there by the light there, my good

57
00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:56.480
fellow. What should I do there? What, however, be that as

58
00:06:56.519 --> 00:06:59.000
it may, I never was there? You may be sure of that.

59
00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:04.360
I've always had a fascination for railways, and they're working. If it would

60
00:07:04.360 --> 00:07:08.839
not disturb you, may I prevail
a problem to show me over your book

61
00:07:10.600 --> 00:07:14.920
of course? Then and come this
way, so come this way, come

62
00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:29.920
this way, so please manual label
I had next to none. I had

63
00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:34.480
to trim those lights, turn out
iron handle now and then many long dreary

64
00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:40.959
hours I have to spend here,
so I occupy my time working at fractions

65
00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:45.480
and equations problems. You know,
is it necessary if you are a way

66
00:07:45.560 --> 00:07:49.000
to remain in this damp air down
here, even in the single box for

67
00:07:49.079 --> 00:07:55.319
the fire glowered it? It is
somehow oppressive? Can you ever rise into

68
00:07:55.360 --> 00:08:00.399
the sunshine? But that depends upon
times, in circumstances. I see under

69
00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:05.160
some conditions there will be less upon
the line than under others. In bright

70
00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:09.480
weather, I go up for a
change certain hours of the day and night,

71
00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:13.279
I'm freer than others that at all
times I'm liable to be called by

72
00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:20.480
my electric pair. Forgive me,
but if you appear better educated than your

73
00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:24.560
station and life calls for I mean
no sense. When I was younger,

74
00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:30.920
I was a student of natural philosophy. I attended lectures and it all came

75
00:08:30.959 --> 00:08:35.000
to nothing. I ran wild and
was sent down. I'd never risen again.

76
00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:39.600
But I've made my bedserned. Now
I must lie on it. It's

77
00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:46.039
too late to make another acceptance of
things for what they are. There something

78
00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:50.440
that you almost make me believe that
I have met a contented man. I

79
00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:58.759
used to be, But I'm trouble
I am troubled with what is your trouble?

80
00:09:00.960 --> 00:09:05.200
It is very difficult to impart,
very very difficult to speak of.

81
00:09:07.639 --> 00:09:13.120
If you ever make another visit,
I will try to tell you that I

82
00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:16.279
expressly intend to make you another visit. Say when shall it be? I

83
00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:20.720
go off early in the morning,
and I should be on guarded ten tomorrow

84
00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:28.639
night. I'll I'll come at eleven. I'll show you my white light that

85
00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:33.600
is still you have found the way. When you have found it, don't

86
00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:39.600
call out, and when you're at
the top, don't call out. Very

87
00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:46.120
well, let me ask you a
partying question. What made you cry hello,

88
00:09:46.360 --> 00:09:54.080
Hello there tonight seven knows I tried
something to let it they know up

89
00:09:54.120 --> 00:10:00.360
to that effect. Those were the
very words. I know them well well.

90
00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:03.080
I spoke thus because I saw you
belowd we wished to attract your attention.

91
00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:07.440
Well for no other reason, Well
what other reason could I possibly have?

92
00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:16.440
You had no feeling that they were
conveyed you in any supernatural way?

93
00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:24.759
No, oh, good night?
Say oh, may I inquire your name?

94
00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:41.799
Mine is William Bendy, Mine is
Charles Dickens. That was something seemingly

95
00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:46.840
peculiar about the man. This,
I was sure, and I could hardly

96
00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:52.039
wait the time before I could speak
with him again. That he was well

97
00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:56.600
educated, there was no doubt that
he feared something or someone very greatly.

98
00:10:58.159 --> 00:11:03.840
There was no doubt either there was
something tortured about him. While we talked

99
00:11:03.919 --> 00:11:09.159
that first night, he was several
times interrupted by the little bill, and

100
00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:13.960
had to read off messages and send
replies. Once he had to stand and

101
00:11:13.080 --> 00:11:18.879
display a flag as a train passed. Once or twice while he was speaking,

102
00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:24.159
he turned and watched the bill,
and his face drained of all color

103
00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:30.039
when he did not ring. I
was punctual to my appointment the next night.

104
00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:37.000
Good night, sir in my hand, put my view there and help

105
00:11:37.080 --> 00:11:43.679
mine, and I had made up
my mind, said that you shall not

106
00:11:43.799 --> 00:11:50.080
have to ask me twice what troubles
me? Will please be seated. I

107
00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:56.840
took you for someone else yesterday night. That troubles me. That mistake.

108
00:11:58.639 --> 00:12:03.840
No, that's someone else. Who
is it? I don't know, like

109
00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:09.960
me, I don't know. I
never saw the face. The left arm

110
00:12:09.039 --> 00:12:13.559
is across the face, and the
left arm is waved violently, waved this

111
00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:22.320
way, for pity's sake, clear
the way. One moonlight night, I

112
00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:26.320
was sitting here when I heard a
voice cry, hello, Hello there,

113
00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:33.320
look out. I started up,
looked from that door and saw that someone

114
00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:37.159
else standing by the red light near
the tunnel, waving as I just showed

115
00:12:37.159 --> 00:12:41.200
you. The voice seemed hoarse with
shouting, and he cried, look out,

116
00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:46.039
look out, and then again hello, below there, look out.

117
00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:52.200
I caught up my lamp, turned
it on red, and ran towards the

118
00:12:52.240 --> 00:13:18.240
figure. A figure just stood in
the blackness outside the tunnel. I had

119
00:13:18.279 --> 00:13:22.039
gone too close upon it that I
wondered that, keeping the sleeve before the

120
00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:26.960
eyes. I ran up to it
and had my hands stretched out to pull

121
00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:33.639
the sleeve away when it was borne
into the tunnel. Now I ran into

122
00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:37.200
the tunnel five hundred yards. I
stopped and felt my lamp above my head,

123
00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:41.240
and saw the figures of the measure
distance, and saw the wet stains

124
00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:46.960
steaming down the walls and trickling through
the arch. I ran up again,

125
00:13:46.399 --> 00:13:50.080
faster than I had run in,
for I had a mortal of Horleans of

126
00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:54.279
the place upon me, and I
looked all around the red light with my

127
00:13:54.320 --> 00:13:58.000
own red light, and I went
up the iron ladder atop of it,

128
00:13:58.200 --> 00:14:09.000
and then I came down again and
ran back here I telegraphed both ways.

129
00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:15.159
An alarm has been given is anything
wrong? And alarm has been given is

130
00:14:15.200 --> 00:14:26.200
anything wrong? All an alarm had
been given in anything wrong? All alarm

131
00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:41.519
has been anything wrong. Wow,
that's a figure. Must have been a

132
00:14:41.559 --> 00:14:48.120
deception of your senses, the deception
of your sense of sight. The figures

133
00:14:48.159 --> 00:14:52.279
such as you describe sometimes the originated
the delicate nerves, and minister to the

134
00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:58.120
functions of the eye as true.
The imaginary voice, well, the wind

135
00:14:58.320 --> 00:15:05.000
is a in which sometimes sounds well
in this unnatural valley. I think that

136
00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:09.480
is all very well. I know
about the wind and telegraph wires. I

137
00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:16.120
passed many long nights here alone and
watching. But I beg to remark so

138
00:15:16.279 --> 00:15:26.440
that I have not finished my story. I afterpart. Within six hours after

139
00:15:26.519 --> 00:15:31.240
the appearance, the memorable accident on
this line happened, and within ten hours

140
00:15:31.840 --> 00:15:37.559
the dead and wounded were brought along
through the tunnel over the spot where the

141
00:15:37.600 --> 00:16:00.399
figure had stood. Now an effective

149
00:17:04.640 --> 00:17:08.440
the dead and wounded were brought along
through the tunnel over the spot where the

150
00:17:08.440 --> 00:17:15.720
figure had stood. This was just
a year ago, six or seven months

151
00:17:15.759 --> 00:17:21.759
past, and I had recovered from
the surprising shock when one morning, as

152
00:17:21.839 --> 00:17:26.440
day was breaking, I standing at
that door, looked towards the red light

153
00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:37.000
and saw the specter again. Did
a cry out? Now it was silent,

154
00:17:37.480 --> 00:17:41.599
But did it wave it's arm?
Now he leaned against the shaft of

155
00:17:41.640 --> 00:17:48.720
the light with both hands before the
face likeness like an action of morning I

156
00:17:48.759 --> 00:17:52.920
had seen in stone figures on tombs. Did you go up to it?

157
00:17:52.559 --> 00:17:56.960
I came in and sat down,
partly to collect my thoughts, partly because

158
00:17:57.559 --> 00:18:03.799
it had turned me faint when I
went to the door again. Daylight was

159
00:18:03.039 --> 00:18:11.200
all around me, and the ghost
had gone goes. That very day,

160
00:18:11.319 --> 00:18:15.839
as the train came out of the
tunnel, I noticed at a carriage window

161
00:18:15.839 --> 00:18:21.400
on my side a confusion of hands
and heads. I saw it just in

162
00:18:21.480 --> 00:18:26.119
time to signal the driver stop.
He shut off and put his brakes on,

163
00:18:26.680 --> 00:18:30.960
But the train drifted past here one
hundred or fifty yards or there.

164
00:18:32.160 --> 00:18:36.960
A beautiful young lady had died instantly
in one of the compartments, and she

165
00:18:37.119 --> 00:18:44.839
was brought in here to the box
and lay there on the floor between trucer

166
00:18:45.720 --> 00:18:52.480
true, precisely as it happened.
So I tell it you, Laza,

167
00:18:53.279 --> 00:19:00.319
mark this and judge how my mind
is troubled. The specter came back a

168
00:19:00.359 --> 00:19:03.720
week ago. Ever since, it
has been there now and again by fits

169
00:19:03.720 --> 00:19:08.880
and starts at the right at the
danger light. Because it seemed to do

170
00:19:10.519 --> 00:19:25.119
like this for pretty's sake, clear
away. I have no peace or rest

171
00:19:25.160 --> 00:19:41.359
from it. It calls to me, It caused for many minutes together in

172
00:19:41.400 --> 00:19:47.920
an agonized way. It rings my
little bell. I remember, did it

173
00:19:48.160 --> 00:19:51.680
ring your bell yesterday evening when I
was here and you went to the door

174
00:19:51.799 --> 00:19:56.720
twice? Why I see I imagination. This leads you. My eyes were

175
00:19:56.759 --> 00:20:00.200
on the bell, and my ears
were opened to the bell. If I'm

176
00:20:00.200 --> 00:20:03.279
a living man. It did not
ring at both times, no, nor

177
00:20:03.279 --> 00:20:07.039
at any other time, except in
the course of natural physical things, when

178
00:20:07.039 --> 00:20:12.160
it was rung by the station communicating
to you. I have never made a

179
00:20:12.200 --> 00:20:17.960
mistake as to that yet, sir, I have never confused the specter's ring

180
00:20:18.240 --> 00:20:22.920
with the man's. The ghost's ring
is a strange vibration in the bell that

181
00:20:23.480 --> 00:20:29.920
it derives from nothing else. And
I'm not asserted that the bell stirs to

182
00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:34.359
the eye. I don't wonder that
you fail to hear it. But I

183
00:20:34.400 --> 00:20:40.640
heard it, and did the specter
seem to be there when you looked out?

184
00:20:41.200 --> 00:20:45.799
It was both times. Both times. When you come to the door

185
00:20:47.279 --> 00:21:00.920
and look with me, now,
oh, I saw the dangerlion. Look

186
00:21:00.960 --> 00:21:07.720
to some mount for tunnel I with
stone walls of the cutting the stars in

187
00:21:07.799 --> 00:21:15.440
the sky. Do you'll see it? No, it is not there.

188
00:21:15.400 --> 00:21:29.200
Agreed, By this time, sir, you will fully understand that what troubles

189
00:21:29.200 --> 00:21:36.519
me greatly is what does the spectrum
mean? I do not know what is

190
00:21:36.559 --> 00:21:41.319
it warning against? What is the
danger? Where is the danger? There

191
00:21:41.400 --> 00:21:47.640
is danger? Overhanging somewhere underlign some
dreadful calamity will happen. It is not

192
00:21:47.680 --> 00:21:51.480
to be doubted this third time,
after what has gone before. But surely

193
00:21:51.559 --> 00:21:56.279
this is a cruel wanting of me. What can I do at this?

194
00:21:56.079 --> 00:22:00.480
The poor man pulled out his handkerchief, and why put drops from his heated

195
00:22:00.519 --> 00:22:06.519
fire? I could think of nothing
to sera, nothing to put courage into

196
00:22:06.599 --> 00:22:11.720
him. If I telegraphed danger and
I decided nor on both, I can

197
00:22:11.799 --> 00:22:17.039
give no reason for it. I
should get into trouble and do no good.

198
00:22:17.960 --> 00:22:22.359
They would think I was mad?
Can you imagine this is the way

199
00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:30.960
it would work? Danger? Take
care? What's danger? Where I don't

200
00:22:32.079 --> 00:22:38.880
know? Take care? They would
say I've gone mad, and they would

201
00:22:38.880 --> 00:22:45.160
displace me. What else could they
do? This pain of mind was most

202
00:22:45.279 --> 00:22:51.599
pitiful to see. It was the
mental torture of a conscientious man, oppressed

203
00:22:51.599 --> 00:22:56.680
beyond endurance by our responsibility involving life
when it first stood hand of the danger?

204
00:22:56.799 --> 00:23:02.720
Like why not know me how it
might be alerted? Why not tell

205
00:23:02.720 --> 00:23:06.279
me why the accident was to happen, if it had to happen, when

206
00:23:06.680 --> 00:23:10.000
on the second coming it hid his
head? Why not tell me instead,

207
00:23:10.200 --> 00:23:12.680
she is going to die. Tell
them to keep her at home. If

208
00:23:12.720 --> 00:23:17.079
it came on those two occasions only
to show me that its warnings were true,

209
00:23:17.279 --> 00:23:19.200
and so to prepare me for the
third, why not warn me?

210
00:23:19.240 --> 00:23:25.759
Plain me now? And I a
poor signal man on this solitary station.

211
00:23:26.640 --> 00:23:30.759
Why not go to somebody with credit
to be believed in power to act?

212
00:23:32.200 --> 00:23:37.359
Then? The William, you cannot
blame yourself for anything. They thought you

213
00:23:37.519 --> 00:23:44.039
must not become so agitated. Whoever
so thoroughly discharges as duty as you do,

214
00:23:44.599 --> 00:23:48.640
must do well. It must needs
be comfort to you to know full

215
00:23:48.640 --> 00:23:55.720
well that you understand your duty perfectly. The fact remained, I know that

216
00:23:55.880 --> 00:24:00.599
you do not understand these confounded appearances
that you must not take on. So

217
00:24:02.839 --> 00:24:06.279
I will not insult you by trying
to reason you out of your belief.

218
00:24:07.240 --> 00:24:15.240
Thank you, Zarne. I left
him at two o'clock that morning. I'd

219
00:24:15.319 --> 00:24:18.880
offered to stay the night, but
he would not hear of it. As

220
00:24:18.920 --> 00:24:25.279
I climbed the path up, I
looked down to the red light. I

221
00:24:26.319 --> 00:24:30.680
did not like it. I knew
full will I should not sleep sound at

222
00:24:30.759 --> 00:24:34.400
my bed were hundred. Nor did
I like the two sequences of the accident

223
00:24:34.440 --> 00:24:40.359
of the dead girl. I wondered
how I ought to act. I knew

224
00:24:40.400 --> 00:24:45.839
the man to be painstaking, vigilant, and although in an inferior position,

225
00:24:45.160 --> 00:24:49.400
he held the most important trust,
how long with his mind as it was,

226
00:24:49.440 --> 00:24:55.359
would he remain to execute this trust
with precision? I wondered. I

227
00:24:55.440 --> 00:24:59.240
resolved to accompany him to the wisest
medical man in those parts, and to

228
00:24:59.319 --> 00:25:04.119
take care of this. Something told
me that could be most treacherous to communicate

229
00:25:04.160 --> 00:25:07.759
all of the signalmen, and told
me to his superiors it might well cost

230
00:25:07.799 --> 00:25:12.079
him his living. A change in
his time of duty would come around next

231
00:25:12.160 --> 00:25:15.279
night. He informed me. He
would be off an hour or two after

232
00:25:15.319 --> 00:25:32.119
sunrise, and on again soon after
sunset. I had appointed to return accordingly.

233
00:25:41.640 --> 00:25:45.839
Next evening was a lovely evening,
and I walked out early to enjoy

234
00:25:45.880 --> 00:25:49.119
it. The sun was not yet
quite down when I traversed the field path

235
00:25:49.200 --> 00:25:53.000
near the top of the deep cutting. I would extend my walk for an

236
00:25:53.039 --> 00:25:56.279
hour, I said to myself,
A half an hour and half an hour

237
00:25:56.400 --> 00:26:00.920
back, and it would then be
time to go to my ignomant box.

238
00:26:07.920 --> 00:26:12.400
Before pursuing my stroll, I stepped
to the brink and mechanically looked down from

239
00:26:12.400 --> 00:26:22.799
the point from which I had first
seen. I cannot describe the thrill that

240
00:26:22.880 --> 00:26:26.440
seized upon me. When close at
the mouth of the tunnel, I saw

241
00:26:26.480 --> 00:26:30.000
the appearance of a man with his
left sleeve across his eyes, passionately waving

242
00:26:30.039 --> 00:26:36.440
his right arm. A nameless horror
that oppressed me quickly passed. When close

243
00:26:36.480 --> 00:26:40.039
at the mouth of the tunnel,
I saw that this appearance of a man

244
00:26:40.559 --> 00:26:47.200
was a man. There was a
little group of men standing further away,

245
00:26:47.680 --> 00:26:52.279
and this first one seemed to be
rehearsing the gesture he made, the gesture

246
00:26:52.279 --> 00:26:57.680
of the signalman described so vividly.
The danger light was not yet lighted against

247
00:26:57.680 --> 00:27:03.319
its shaft. A low hot in
timely new to me had been made of

248
00:27:03.319 --> 00:27:07.640
some wooden supports on top hole,
and he looked no bigger than a bed.

249
00:27:07.920 --> 00:27:14.960
I descended the path with all the
speed I could movester Hello, Hello,

250
00:27:15.200 --> 00:27:18.200
what is the matter? What has
happened signal man kill this morning?

251
00:27:18.279 --> 00:27:25.839
Sir? No, not the man
belonging to that box, Yes, sir,

252
00:27:26.480 --> 00:27:30.079
but the man I knew. You
will recognize him, sir. If

253
00:27:30.079 --> 00:27:34.599
you knew him, you know he's
the top horn covering from the small structure.

254
00:27:34.640 --> 00:27:42.000
I observed from above. His face
is quite composed. How did this

255
00:27:42.119 --> 00:27:47.400
happen? He was cut down by
an engine, Sir. No man in

256
00:27:47.440 --> 00:27:52.880
England news work better. But somehow
he was not clear of the outer rail.

257
00:27:52.880 --> 00:27:57.960
It was just a broad day.
An aide struck the light and had

258
00:27:59.000 --> 00:28:02.240
the lamp in his hand, and
as the engine came out of the tunnel,

259
00:28:02.279 --> 00:28:07.759
his back was towards her and she
cut him down. That man drove

260
00:28:07.839 --> 00:28:14.480
her and was showing how it happened
the shoulder Gentleman tom Well coming round the

261
00:28:14.559 --> 00:28:17.880
curve in the tunnel, Sir,
I saw him at the end like as

262
00:28:17.880 --> 00:28:21.960
if I saw him down at perspective
class Well. There was no time to

263
00:28:22.079 --> 00:28:26.680
check speed, and I knew him
to be very careful, but as he

264
00:28:26.799 --> 00:28:30.640
didn't seem to take heed of the
whistle, I shut it off, and

265
00:28:30.720 --> 00:28:33.920
as we were running down upon him, I called to him as loud as

266
00:28:33.960 --> 00:28:38.240
I could call. Or what did
you say, say, sir? Why?

267
00:28:38.359 --> 00:29:15.839
I said? Below there the lookout, for pity's sake cleared away sadful

268
00:29:17.000 --> 00:29:22.359
timeser drag, for I never left
off calling to answer. I put my

269
00:29:22.559 --> 00:29:26.400
arm before my eyes so it's not
the scene, and I waved this arm

270
00:29:26.480 --> 00:30:10.920
right to the lot, but it
was no use. Ha. The chill

271
00:30:11.119 --> 00:30:17.400
certainly has permeated the air well.
Everything feels a little chilly down here.

272
00:30:18.480 --> 00:30:21.759
Oh no, no, no,
don't worry about me. I have this

273
00:30:21.960 --> 00:30:26.640
nice little fire here. It's very
welcoming, very warming. I see you've

274
00:30:26.759 --> 00:30:30.839
enjoyed it quite a bit with your
visits. Oh no, please stay in

275
00:30:30.920 --> 00:30:34.240
your chair, enjoy yourself. I
was just about to make a little more

276
00:30:34.319 --> 00:30:40.799
tea to make sure you're warm on
the inside, and doubt, and I

277
00:30:40.839 --> 00:30:45.759
have another one. I think you'll
enjoy this one. I brushed off my

278
00:30:45.880 --> 00:30:49.759
personal collection just for to night,
because you see, when Halloween approaches,

279
00:30:51.519 --> 00:31:00.400
well a lot can happen to a
young persons running around in a costumes,

280
00:31:02.000 --> 00:31:07.119
laughing and having fun, having fun. But no matter how much fun you

281
00:31:07.240 --> 00:31:14.400
have, the time always comes when
you have to give the devil his due.

282
00:31:15.519 --> 00:31:22.559
And this story is called Devil's Due
for that very reason. Who I

283
00:31:22.680 --> 00:32:17.880
need some tea myself, right,
everybody? Yeah, you shouldn't have done

284
00:32:17.880 --> 00:32:22.799
it, mits, Yeah, quit
beef and you're going so no, of

285
00:32:22.799 --> 00:32:25.559
course, not chucking the old guy
And I didn't need to, didn't need

286
00:32:25.599 --> 00:32:29.960
to, saw us, didn't he
could turn us into the description got need

287
00:32:30.400 --> 00:32:34.119
should never be able to describe us
for us to dark. Uh, well,

288
00:32:34.359 --> 00:32:37.839
Midszinskis, don't take chances. See
anyhow your case to join? Why

289
00:32:37.839 --> 00:32:42.240
didn't you sweat the bugler alarms?
And that's safe safe, say my record,

290
00:32:42.319 --> 00:32:47.160
Mats, you're a pedimen knaves.
Is your racket a cookie sleeping in

291
00:32:47.240 --> 00:32:52.720
the guy's ribs from his bag?
We're talking about the cockade was done?

292
00:32:52.359 --> 00:32:59.079
You give me that? Yeah?
Yeah, it's just nervous. It's rap

293
00:32:59.160 --> 00:33:04.240
on fark checked me down. Say
be sure you know for your one person?

294
00:33:04.359 --> 00:33:07.200
Now I can find it farther,
no fog, but almost there.

295
00:33:07.319 --> 00:33:09.640
Are you sure we're gonna be safe
in the stoke drops you'll never find us.

296
00:33:09.680 --> 00:33:14.839
It's all ware has ain't been used
for year as well, and I

297
00:33:15.000 --> 00:33:19.640
always read, yeah, yeah,
you don't get sore? How much fun

298
00:33:19.759 --> 00:33:30.799
patty Son? Almost there? Hey, it's like that, it's nothing.

299
00:33:30.000 --> 00:33:34.640
So many people that live around here
keep goats. Probably one of them.

300
00:33:36.440 --> 00:33:40.039
I think, what past? What's
getting into you? I mean I got

301
00:33:40.079 --> 00:33:44.920

00:43:40.039 --> 00:43:43.840
spot I bacon lot. You know, I got up on the garage roof

417
00:43:43.880 --> 00:43:45.440
across the street. Nobody figures me
to be up there, so I get

418
00:43:45.480 --> 00:43:51.199
good look around. What do you
think it place? His lousy with coppers?

419
00:43:51.800 --> 00:43:54.280
Tell you that you know I thought
the guy I'm kicked through with a

00:43:54.320 --> 00:43:58.719
squat. Don't worry. When I
get through he will. Yeah, but

421
00:43:58.840 --> 00:44:01.079
this name she's half labors to keep
an armlong. We'll hop on a fire

422
00:44:01.719 --> 00:44:05.920
speed things up later. I say, let's get this. Let's knock off

423
00:44:05.960 --> 00:44:07.400
the babe and beat up before the
coppers catch up. Me. I got

424
00:44:07.400 --> 00:44:15.400
a better idea. Hey, what
do you want your old man? Tippy

425
00:44:15.440 --> 00:44:22.840
police? I'm kidding, I'm welcome. Yeah, it didn't work. We

426
00:44:22.920 --> 00:44:25.679
have to show your old man we
mean business. What are you gonna do?

427
00:44:25.840 --> 00:44:30.760
You'll see, cocky, you've got
that big knife with yours. Sure,

428
00:44:30.599 --> 00:44:34.039
what are you going to do?
Send a little present to this babe?

429
00:44:34.039 --> 00:44:42.559
Square hold the left hand. Cookie, ladies, let you guess what.

430
00:44:42.880 --> 00:44:46.880
I'm going to send one of those
pretty fingers to your old man over

431
00:44:47.079 --> 00:45:00.800
the loba all around cooking. Hi, what happened to her? She's just

432
00:45:00.880 --> 00:45:07.440
passed off. Here we are.
That'll make the old buzzard change at that

433
00:45:07.599 --> 00:45:13.119
ring on that finger. Let's keep
it up and join her old man.

434
00:45:13.159 --> 00:45:15.199
A numbers of guys that finger without
you pay on the other end of us,

435
00:45:15.440 --> 00:45:21.199
but he will recognize that ring.
No, we're not pooling now.

436
00:45:35.960 --> 00:45:39.280
You handled that job very well,
my friends, and when you scent the

437
00:45:39.400 --> 00:45:45.920
finger, no time was lost in
paining you off. Remember you made a

438
00:45:45.039 --> 00:45:52.920
neat some and what a splendid joe
kind of follow the girl m she was

439
00:45:53.000 --> 00:45:57.840
already dead and he paid you.
We didn't prop that. Damn. I

440
00:45:58.039 --> 00:46:01.679
was accident and we didn't. Of
course you didn't. But blood poisoning is

441
00:46:01.719 --> 00:46:07.760
a fine assistant, isn't it.
Ah? But we have still another about

442
00:46:07.880 --> 00:46:15.480
partnership activities to be reviewed. There
there, you displayed an amazing ingenuity.

443
00:46:17.039 --> 00:46:22.760
It was a bakery, remember,
a small vakery. One man ran it,

444
00:46:23.239 --> 00:46:30.599
a stolid old German, too stolid, remember, but you beat him.

445
00:46:31.039 --> 00:46:38.199
He got nothing for his hat.
Hold you give us a batter,

446
00:46:38.239 --> 00:46:45.079
will you? Just right on there? You're asking him what let's get going

447
00:46:45.119 --> 00:46:47.280
on the site. But I'd like
to give this money works? I know,

506
00:51:54.000 --> 00:51:58.920
all these little affairs. It's this
guy's line. We never saw anyone on

507
00:51:58.960 --> 00:52:04.559
our jobs. It's not difficult for
me to make myself despicuous, he said.

508
00:52:04.599 --> 00:52:07.400
I think Cooky was right or something
funnier about you. I'm beginning to

509
00:52:07.440 --> 00:52:14.960
feel it tough on the country.
You will find that I am very genuine.

You must come with me. You
will meet your friends, many of

00:52:19.079 --> 00:52:22.239

join up with this guy's mom. I

520
00:53:02.599 --> 00:53:07.280

00:55:38.199 --> 00:55:47.679

partners. Indeed you are welcome.

yetting too tough for you? Already?

559
00:57:10.199 --> 00:57:13.719
That work? Well? No,
sir, I'm sorry to call your sergeant,

560
00:57:13.719 --> 00:57:15.679
but I didn't know what else to
do. That's all right, now,

561
00:57:15.719 --> 00:57:17.239
led me by. I'd rather you'd
call me than the chance of a

562
00:57:17.360 --> 00:57:20.519
stake. Now, what is it? Well? A bomb? I picked

563
00:57:20.599 --> 00:57:25.000
up, hysterical babbling over a crazy
story about the squadman took him and he

564
00:57:25.039 --> 00:57:30.960
was waving drunk delirium. Freeman.
No, I don't think so. Let

565
00:57:30.000 --> 00:57:36.119
me show you. It's right down
here. Where are we going? All?

566
00:57:36.199 --> 00:57:37.719
Right? Here? This old warehouse. He was sleeping on the loading

567
00:57:37.760 --> 00:57:44.000
platform. Said he was waked by
a bright red glow. Go on.

568
00:57:44.400 --> 00:57:47.079
He said he looked in the window
and well, I know this sounds kind

569
00:57:47.079 --> 00:57:52.199
of cuts even, but he said
he saw the devil. Yes, I

570
00:57:52.239 --> 00:57:57.320
know that's crazy, but well,
here's the door of the warehouse. They

571
00:57:57.320 --> 00:58:00.920
are go to the old warehouse.
Now we take this door. I wouldn't

572
00:58:00.920 --> 00:58:04.079
have held the doors and back card. This ain't been open for months,

573
00:58:04.199 --> 00:58:07.159
but you can see that the back
doors the same. There no windows.

574
00:58:07.719 --> 00:58:10.400
This laugh was used for damn storage. Well that red low white have been

575
00:58:10.480 --> 00:58:14.800
or fired. Let's take a quick
gander through the place. Anywhere here have

577
00:58:22.920 --> 00:58:29.559
careful lout that what's over there looks
like whole furniture. Let's take a

578
00:58:29.559 --> 00:58:34.760
peek. Turn your flat flag on
its careful and loose boards. Don't don't

579
00:58:35.840 --> 00:58:40.199
you notice a peculiar odor? What
is this? What is kind of creepy

580
00:58:40.239 --> 00:58:44.880
want with this devil business? Nod? It spent like bird and self is

581
00:58:44.960 --> 00:58:49.000
in fall of that devil business stars, But I didn't figure something was Look

582
00:58:49.199 --> 00:58:54.239
two of them, come on,
they're dead short they are, and man,

583
00:58:54.840 --> 00:58:59.440
look at the whole scoop to the
out of their chests. Claw marks

584
00:58:59.480 --> 00:59:02.239
two. The clone mark it,
Sergeant. The fresh around the would is

585
00:59:02.239 --> 00:59:06.079
burnt and it's scorched. That's devil's
work. I see it. No,

586
00:59:06.880 --> 00:59:10.360
it looks like like a huge flavor
and claw reached out scooped the hearts out

587
00:59:10.400 --> 00:59:14.840
of them. Sounds like you almost
believe this devil's business, Sergeant. I

588
00:59:14.840 --> 00:59:19.039
ain't saying, lad, but look
you maybe you can explain them marks and

589
00:59:19.119 --> 00:59:22.800
the dust there on the floor,
where right there those prints were made by

590
00:59:22.840 --> 00:59:30.719
hoofs, cloven hoofs. Maybe you
were write that, maybe it is the

591
00:59:30.800 --> 00:59:42.239
Devil's work, Devil's Due. This
Evening's lights Out drama was adopted from the

00:59:57.440 --> 01:00:02.320
You know, one of the few
things that I miss about the regular

596
01:00:02.400 --> 01:00:08.519
world. What's that? Oh?
Wow, too long a story to explain,

597
01:00:08.599 --> 01:00:15.840
honestly, my dear. One thing
I truly miss is the open seas,

598
01:00:16.360 --> 01:00:23.119
the ocean boats. That's something that
has always appealed to me since I

599
01:00:23.719 --> 01:00:29.679
was but a little boy myself.
Yeah, what's that? What's that?

600
01:00:29.800 --> 01:00:32.239
Oh? Here? Here, take
another blanket. I know it gets it

601
01:00:32.960 --> 01:00:42.920
gets so cold, so very very
cold down here. This one I dusted

602
01:00:43.000 --> 01:00:49.239
off just for you and I to
enjoy and for me to live slightly vicariously

603
01:00:49.400 --> 01:00:55.519
through it. It's called the open
boat boat. Maybe one day, somehow

604
01:00:57.840 --> 01:01:05.119
I'll sail again. But please don't
worry yourself with my high problems. You

605
01:01:05.239 --> 01:01:14.920
have plenty to worry about yourselvesself.
Trust me, relax. Tired of the

606
01:01:15.039 --> 01:01:24.920
every day grind, ever dream of
a life of romantic adventure, want to

607
01:01:24.920 --> 01:01:37.519
get away from it all? We
offer you escape, escape, designed to

608
01:01:37.599 --> 01:01:42.840
free you from the four walls of
today for a half hour of high adventure.

609
01:01:57.039 --> 01:02:01.000
You are in an open boat with
three desks, were at men two

610
01:02:01.079 --> 01:02:07.760
hundred yards from land and safety.
But while you screamed frantically for someone to

611
01:02:07.920 --> 01:02:15.119
rescue you, you realize that from
the mountainous breakers between you and safety,

612
01:02:16.280 --> 01:02:22.639
there is no escape. Listen now
as transcribed, Escape brings you Stephen Crane's

613
01:02:22.760 --> 01:02:44.760
unusual story The Open Boat eighteen ninety
seven, a tale intended to be after

614
01:02:44.800 --> 01:02:51.079
the fact, being the experience of
four men from the sunk steamer Commodore.

615
01:02:52.320 --> 01:02:57.199
They were a captain, an oiler, a cook, and a correspondent,

616
01:02:58.639 --> 01:03:01.519
and many a man are to have
a bath tub larger than the boat which

617
01:03:01.559 --> 01:03:09.480
they rowed upon the seas. None
of them knew the color of the sky.

618
01:03:10.559 --> 01:03:15.599
Their eyes were fastened upon the waves
that swept toward them. The horizon

619
01:03:15.760 --> 01:03:21.880
narrowed and widened dipped and rose,
and at all times it was jagged with

620
01:03:22.000 --> 01:03:28.800
waves that seemed to thrust up in
points like rocks. A singular disadvantage of

621
01:03:28.840 --> 01:03:32.519
the sea lies in the fact that, after successfully surmounting one wave, you

622
01:03:32.679 --> 01:03:38.039
discover there's another behind it, just
as important, just as anxious to swamp

623
01:03:38.079 --> 01:03:45.400
a boat keeper. A little more
south, Billy, a little more south,

624
01:03:45.440 --> 01:03:52.239
sir. There's a house of refuge
just north of the muspeed of wind

625
01:03:52.239 --> 01:03:54.440
that light. As soon as they
see us, they'll come off their boat

626
01:03:54.440 --> 01:04:00.679
and pick us up soon as host
caesars crowe OUs as a refuge don't have

627
01:04:00.880 --> 01:04:08.440
cruise only places where clothes and food
is stored for the benefit of shipwrecked people.

628
01:04:09.199 --> 01:04:13.079
They don't carry crews. Oh yes
they do. No, they don't.

629
01:04:13.519 --> 01:04:17.960
We're not there yet. Oh that's
right, we're not there yet.

630
01:04:20.320 --> 01:04:24.719
I think it's an on shore wind. If not, where will we be?

631
01:04:25.679 --> 01:04:29.920
Now that's right. Do you think
we've got much of a show now,

632
01:04:29.960 --> 01:04:34.239
boys, I know, captain.
Oh well, we'll get a shower,

633
01:04:34.280 --> 01:04:40.360
all right, Yes, if it's
wind holes, if we don't.

634
01:04:41.159 --> 01:04:59.679
Down in the circa, sometimes the
gulls would sit on the sea comfortably and

635
01:05:00.079 --> 01:05:03.840
roofs its wrath was no more to
them than it was to a convoy of

636
01:05:04.000 --> 01:05:13.199
prairie chickens one thousand miles inland.
Often they came close, and at these

637
01:05:13.239 --> 01:05:18.719
times they were uncanny and sinister in
their unblinking scrutiny. Get away, get

638
01:05:18.760 --> 01:05:41.440
away, yeah, ugly filthy things. The captain was hurt and couldn't do

639
01:05:41.559 --> 01:05:46.039
anything. The cook bailed. The
oiler and the correspondent sat together in the

640
01:05:46.079 --> 01:05:51.440
same seat and rowed, And then
the oiler took both oars, and then

641
01:05:51.440 --> 01:06:02.199
the correspondent took both oars. The
correspondent the oiler. Will you spell me?

642
01:06:03.280 --> 01:06:09.360
Yeah? Sure, But it was
easier to steal eggs from under a

643
01:06:09.480 --> 01:06:13.119
hind than it was to change seats
in the dinghy. The man in the

644
01:06:13.159 --> 01:06:16.039
stern slid his hand along the thwart
and moved with care. The man in

645
01:06:16.079 --> 01:06:20.079
the rowing seat slid his hand along
the other thwart. As the two sides

646
01:06:20.079 --> 01:06:24.480
were past each other, the cook
and the captain kept watchful eyes on the

647
01:06:24.519 --> 01:06:55.440
coming wave. Goodbye, Billy,
I think I see the lighthouse of Mosquito

648
01:06:55.519 --> 01:07:00.360
in left. Wait, wait,
can I see it too? Billy?

649
01:07:00.719 --> 01:07:06.000
Might be I don't say anything.
Look again, it's exactly in that direction.

650
01:07:06.800 --> 01:07:12.880
Wh why and I said, it's
real small, like the head of

651
01:07:12.920 --> 01:07:18.800
a pin. I think we'll make
it. Captain. If this wind holds

652
01:07:19.119 --> 01:07:23.800
from the boat, don't swamp.
We can't do much else. Well,

653
01:07:23.920 --> 01:07:33.199
here cook high can s all right? The brown mats of seaweed that appeared

654
01:07:33.199 --> 01:07:38.119
from time to time informed the men
in the boat that they were making progress,

655
01:07:38.239 --> 01:07:45.079
slowly forward land and slowly. The
lighthouse grew larger, an upright shadow

656
01:07:45.159 --> 01:07:56.760
on the sky, and then land
appeared thinner than paper. Oh, I

657
01:07:56.800 --> 01:08:00.480
wish we had a sail. We
might try my over a code on the

658
01:08:00.599 --> 01:08:03.199
end of an oar. Give you
two boys a chance to rest. I'll

659
01:08:03.239 --> 01:08:12.679
try anything. What do you say? Let's try it. Here's my coat,

660
01:08:13.079 --> 01:08:15.560
right, sir, Blow them both
down towards me. I'll tie it

661
01:08:15.600 --> 01:08:20.359
on here. Here you go,
retive, billy, you can lash it

662
01:08:20.439 --> 01:08:26.199
better. Sleeves will do better.
I think you'll have to hold one or

663
01:08:27.039 --> 01:08:38.840
you're the other. Right, alrighty, hold on? What hit way,

664
01:08:38.840 --> 01:08:50.600
billy? You'll swamp this way just
to ballance? Well, I'll just have

665
01:08:50.720 --> 01:08:56.479
to roll. How in the name
of all the same? Could there be

666
01:08:56.520 --> 01:09:00.720
people who think it's fun to row
a boat? You put things right?

667
01:09:00.800 --> 01:09:03.760
Smart, Yeah, yessir, it's
so bad. If we'd eat something before.

668
01:09:04.000 --> 01:09:09.039
Yeah, we got ourselves in a
pigger condition, before we got our

669
01:09:09.039 --> 01:09:15.680
cells shipwrecked. Had to be better
too, would be the less people drowning

670
01:09:15.760 --> 01:09:19.880
at sea. I'll spell you.
Yeah, we go boat to it.

671
01:09:20.199 --> 01:09:30.520
Take the right or billy, this
car slowly and beautifully the land loomed out

672
01:09:30.560 --> 01:09:39.720
of the sea. The wind came
again, and then went, and then

673
01:09:39.840 --> 01:09:48.119
came again, veering from northeast to
southeast. Boys, and a new sound

674
01:09:48.159 --> 01:09:53.720
struck the years of the men in
the boat, the sweet low thunder of

675
01:09:53.800 --> 01:09:59.640
the surf on the shore. We
must be opposite blue smirra. Yes,

676
01:10:00.560 --> 01:10:02.039
I believe they have been at that
life saving station. They're budd a year

677
01:10:02.079 --> 01:10:06.520
ago. Did they take her easy? Now, boys, don't spend yourselves.

678
01:10:08.199 --> 01:10:11.039
If we have to run a surf, you'll need all your strength because

679
01:10:11.079 --> 01:10:15.079
we'll show I have to swim for
it. Take your time. Yeah,

680
01:10:15.199 --> 01:10:18.199
yes, captain, that's the house
of the rest. Be sure I'll see

681
01:10:18.279 --> 01:10:21.880
us before long. Come on after
us. The keeper ought to be able

682
01:10:21.920 --> 01:10:25.840
to make us out. Now.
If he's looking for his glass, he'll

683
01:10:25.880 --> 01:10:30.119
notify the life saving people. None
of these other boats. But it's gotten

684
01:10:30.159 --> 01:10:33.399
the shore to get word of the
wreck. M that's the lifeboat would be

685
01:10:33.720 --> 01:10:39.279
out runningness. Yeah, that's right, believe it's right. I don't think

686
01:10:39.279 --> 01:10:42.720
it'd be wise to try for the
lighthouse. Now, swing ahead, a

687
01:10:42.760 --> 01:10:46.479
little more off, bully off,
sir, steadying out there, bury my

688
01:10:46.560 --> 01:10:53.880
boy that if she is captain in
and off, perhaps maybe two there'll be

689
01:10:53.920 --> 01:11:00.880
a shawl rye a drink to cap'n. Yes, I still got the water.

690
01:11:01.000 --> 01:11:06.279
Jump. Well, let's have it
around all hands. You go ahead,

691
01:11:06.800 --> 01:11:12.840
you first, sir, Thank you, all right, quick, thank

692
01:11:12.880 --> 01:11:24.960
you, billy. Yeah, it's
good fresh water. There you go.

693
01:11:25.720 --> 01:11:36.800
Thanks. Oh oh, since we're
celebrating, I got a surprise. Look,

694
01:11:38.399 --> 01:11:44.840
curs wet some of mine. Some
of them are dry. I don't

695
01:11:44.840 --> 01:11:51.920
know how. Yeah, I got
dry matches there. Yeah, whoa,

696
01:11:53.840 --> 01:11:58.880
this is gonna like it? Yes, sir, get another row? Why

697
01:11:59.399 --> 01:12:17.479
and fit cook. There don't seem
to be any signs of life about your

698
01:12:17.520 --> 01:12:24.560
house of refuge. No, it's
funny they don't see us. We have

699
01:12:24.640 --> 01:12:29.680
to go through that surf the swamp
for sure. Money they don't see us.

700
01:12:30.199 --> 01:12:32.600
I suppose we'll have to make a
try for ourselves. If we stay

701
01:12:32.600 --> 01:12:35.439
out here too long, will none
of us have strength left to swim after

702
01:12:35.479 --> 01:12:41.720
the boat swamp right, Yeah,
hit us straight in, then Billy as

703
01:12:42.680 --> 01:12:50.239
straight in. Yeah. If we
don't all get ashore, I suppose you

704
01:12:50.319 --> 01:12:56.640
fellows know where to send news of
my finish, Yes, sir, I

705
01:12:56.680 --> 01:13:00.000
don't get a sure. The boys
can tell me, old lady what happened.

706
01:13:00.760 --> 01:13:04.640
My family lives in New Brunswick.
Just ask for them at the Hampton

707
01:13:04.720 --> 01:13:10.760
Inn. And if I don't get
a shore. If I don't get a

708
01:13:10.840 --> 01:13:15.840
shore, it won't matter at anyone
but me, he answer. It's getting

709
01:13:15.920 --> 01:13:20.239
rougher show is still pretty far away, sir. We can't go in any

710
01:13:20.279 --> 01:13:26.000
closer by, boys, she won't
live three minutes more. If we keep

711
01:13:26.000 --> 01:13:30.640
her headed towards shore, we'll go
out to swim. Can I take her

712
01:13:30.640 --> 01:13:36.640
out to sea again? Captain Li's
Billy, go ahead, take her out

713
01:13:36.640 --> 01:13:49.960
the sea again. M and the
boat with the four men in it,

714
01:13:51.039 --> 01:13:58.760
the captain, the oiler, the
cook and the correspondent turned back away from

715
01:13:58.840 --> 01:14:15.920
the land and bumped over the furrowed
sea to deeper water. We will return

716
01:14:15.960 --> 01:14:19.680
to escape in just a moment,
but first, just sit back, relax

717
01:14:19.760 --> 01:14:24.800
and watch the cars roll by,
watch the heavy traffic on the highways in

718
01:14:24.840 --> 01:14:29.119
the summertime. Watch the traffic jams
and the roadblocks, and the tired hot

719
01:14:29.199 --> 01:14:32.359
drivers sitting behind the steering wheels of
their cars trying to make time and getting

720
01:14:32.399 --> 01:14:38.359
nowhere fast. Just help yourself to
a nice refreshing cool drink. Sit on

721
01:14:38.399 --> 01:14:41.840
your chair on the porch or stoop
or lawn under the shade of a big

722
01:14:41.880 --> 01:14:45.399
elm tree with your radio. Tune
to some nice sweet music or a thrilling

723
01:14:45.439 --> 01:14:50.359
who done it on CBS radio?
And watch the summer rush on the roadways.

724
01:14:51.000 --> 01:15:14.520
Gosh, you're smart, And now
back to escape. When it occurs

725
01:15:14.560 --> 01:15:18.479
to a man that nature does not
regard him is important, and that he

726
01:15:18.600 --> 01:15:24.600
feels she should maim the universe by
disposing of him, he at first wishes

727
01:15:24.680 --> 01:15:29.239
to throw bricks at the temple,
and he hates very much the fact that

728
01:15:29.279 --> 01:15:35.000
there are no bricks and no temples. And he finds that nature is serene

729
01:15:35.079 --> 01:15:41.920
among the struggles of the individual.
She is not cruel, no beneficent,

730
01:15:42.279 --> 01:15:49.399
nor wise, no treacherous. She
is simply indifferent. Oh, anyhow,

731
01:15:49.439 --> 01:15:53.520
they must have seen us, for
sure by now we are coming to the

732
01:15:53.520 --> 01:15:56.239
southeast, Sir, I see it, for they keep of the way she

733
01:15:56.359 --> 01:15:59.840
is. How do you think of
those life saving people, ain't they?

734
01:16:00.960 --> 01:16:04.439
Yeah? Funny, I haven't seen
it. You think we're out here for

735
01:16:04.560 --> 01:16:08.880
sport. I mean I think we're
fishing. Maybe you think we're stupid fools.

736
01:16:10.680 --> 01:16:15.439
Sorry, yes, sir Saint Augustine
those dots. No, no,

737
01:16:15.520 --> 01:16:23.319
I don't think so. Too near
Mosquito inlet. Do you ever like the

738
01:16:23.439 --> 01:16:29.359
road, Billy? No? Did
you? Oh? He loved it,

739
01:16:30.560 --> 01:16:38.880
loved it. Look there's a man
on shore where yes, see him?

740
01:16:38.880 --> 01:16:43.119
See him? Yeah? Sure,
he's walking along and he sees us.

741
01:16:43.159 --> 01:16:45.960
He's waving. Yeah, yeah,
he done a hard Well, we're all

742
01:16:46.079 --> 01:16:48.720
right. There'll be a boat out
here for us in half an hour.

743
01:16:49.199 --> 01:16:53.520
He's going on, he's running,
he's going up to the house. There

744
01:16:54.640 --> 01:16:59.720
standing still again he's looking at think
there he goes again toward the house.

745
01:17:00.079 --> 01:17:02.600
Come on, he stopped again?
Is he is he waving at us?

746
01:17:02.600 --> 01:17:06.600
Sir? No? Not now he
was though. Look there's another man,

747
01:17:08.479 --> 01:17:11.520
look at him, go, would
you. He's on a bicycle, a

748
01:17:11.560 --> 01:17:15.840
bicycle on the beach. They're both
waving at us. There comes something else

749
01:17:15.920 --> 01:17:17.760
up the beach. Is it?
Is it a lifeboat? Sir? I

750
01:17:17.760 --> 01:17:24.880
think so? No, No,
that's not a life Oh it's not a

751
01:17:24.880 --> 01:17:28.760
bus, one of those big hotel
buses. By thunder, You're right,

752
01:17:29.520 --> 01:17:31.640
what do you suppose they're doing with
a bus? Why don't they get a

753
01:17:31.640 --> 01:17:35.840
lifeboat? Hey, hey, maybe
they're going around collecting the lifeboat crew.

754
01:17:35.960 --> 01:17:41.079
That's it. Yeah, cheap around
into the wind, Billy. Look,

755
01:17:41.840 --> 01:17:45.119
there's a fellow waving a little black
flag at us. He's standing on the

756
01:17:45.119 --> 01:17:47.880
steps of the bus, and there
comes to other fellows. Now they're all

757
01:17:47.920 --> 01:17:51.359
talking together. Well, look at
that fellow with the flag. He sees

758
01:17:51.439 --> 01:17:58.319
us, all right, he knows
what he's about. Bay, come here,

759
01:18:00.079 --> 01:18:05.680
bom, Yeah, I made a
flag? Is it? What's his

760
01:18:05.800 --> 01:18:10.479
coat? By certainly that's his coat, so it is. It's his coat.

761
01:18:10.720 --> 01:18:13.520
Who would you look at him?
Swing it? There isn't any life

762
01:18:13.560 --> 01:18:18.439
saving station there, that's just a
winter resort hotel. Some of the customers

763
01:18:18.520 --> 01:18:23.119
came to see us frown. What's
that idiot coat? Clean? What's he

764
01:18:23.239 --> 01:18:27.479
signaling? Anyhow? It looks as
if we were trying to tell us to

765
01:18:27.520 --> 01:18:30.720
go north. Must be a life
saving station up there. No, no,

766
01:18:31.520 --> 01:18:35.159
he thinks we're fishing. Billy,
just giving us a wave. That's

767
01:18:35.239 --> 01:18:40.760
all we need now, a cheery
little wave. Now send us on our

768
01:18:40.760 --> 01:18:45.479
way to eternity. He don't need
any he's just playing. If he just

769
01:18:45.600 --> 01:18:48.880
signals to try the surfer, or
go to see you, or waiter,

770
01:18:49.000 --> 01:18:53.560
go north, or go south,
or go to there'd be some reason in

771
01:18:53.600 --> 01:18:58.720
it. But but look at him. Why does he stop waving that coat

772
01:18:58.760 --> 01:19:02.880
long enough the we're out here dying. Why doesn't he It's all right now,

773
01:19:03.560 --> 01:19:06.159
I have a boat out here in
less than no time. Now that

774
01:19:06.159 --> 01:19:13.079
they've seen us, Yeah, night
coming answer, Oh now, now,

775
01:19:13.159 --> 01:19:15.880
boys, we'll never have to stay
here all night. Now, don't you

776
01:19:15.920 --> 01:19:20.880
worry. They've seen us now,
and it won't be long before they just

777
01:19:21.079 --> 01:19:27.239
come chasing right out there. Say, oh, come on, fines,

778
01:19:28.079 --> 01:19:42.439
cheer up now. The shore grew
dusky. The man waving the coat blended

779
01:19:42.520 --> 01:19:48.039
gradually into this gloom and had swallowed
in the same manner the bus and the

780
01:19:48.079 --> 01:19:55.520
group of people. A night on
the sea in an open boat. It

781
01:19:55.680 --> 01:20:01.359
was a long night. My hands
on that burd away the coat. I'd

782
01:20:01.399 --> 01:20:05.000
just like to live long enough to
do that. Why what did he do?

783
01:20:05.880 --> 01:20:10.600
Oh nothing, He just seemed too
blasted. Cheerful, Keep her head

784
01:20:10.680 --> 01:20:14.560
up, Keep her head up.
Deeper head up. The obligation of the

785
01:20:14.640 --> 01:20:16.720
man at the oars was to keep
the boat headed so that the tilt of

786
01:20:16.720 --> 01:20:21.800
the rollers wouldn't capsize it. The
black waves were silent and hard to be

787
01:20:21.840 --> 01:20:29.199
seen in the darkness, and on
the northern horizon the light appeared a small

788
01:20:29.399 --> 01:20:41.119
bluish gleam on the edge of the
world. Captain, you're awake. I

789
01:20:41.199 --> 01:20:48.279
should I keep her making for that
light north, I keep it about two

790
01:20:48.359 --> 01:21:00.800
points off the portcar right, A
gleaming trail of phosphorescence, like a blue

791
01:21:00.880 --> 01:21:04.800
flame, was furrowed on the black
waters. It might have been made by

792
01:21:04.800 --> 01:21:10.640
a monstrous knife. The speed and
power of the thing was greatly to be

793
01:21:10.720 --> 01:21:15.800
admired. It cut the water like
a gigantic and keen projectile, never leaving

794
01:21:15.840 --> 01:21:19.880
the vicinity of the boat a head
or a stern or on one side or

795
01:21:19.880 --> 01:21:49.960
another. At intervals long and short
flew the long, sparkling streak. Pretty

796
01:21:50.000 --> 01:22:02.359
long knife. Because life saving people
take the time. Did you see the

797
01:22:02.399 --> 01:22:09.720
shock later around? Yes, I
saw him. He was a big fellow,

798
01:22:09.720 --> 01:22:15.239
all right. Yeah, I didn't
know you were awake, Captain.

799
01:22:15.920 --> 01:22:28.560
It makes no difference. He's gone
now. H relly, huh. Billy,

800
01:22:30.479 --> 01:22:55.279
will you spell me Billy? Are
sure? Yes? Ken, take

801
01:22:55.319 --> 01:22:59.159
her father out to sea, so
there's no danger from the sif you take

802
01:22:59.199 --> 01:23:02.079
that over to the staf in there
and keep her facing the sea, right,

803
01:23:02.159 --> 01:23:05.720
sir, all out if you hear
that, sir, just once here,

804
01:23:06.279 --> 01:23:10.560
I will, sir. I will
give you boys a chance to curl

805
01:23:10.640 --> 01:23:16.720
down for a while, get in
shape again, thanks sir. And the

806
01:23:16.760 --> 01:23:20.279
corresponded, and the oiler laid down
in the bottom of the boat, trembling

807
01:23:20.319 --> 01:23:26.319
with the cold and the damp,
and chatted themselves to sleep. The dead

808
01:23:26.479 --> 01:23:31.319
sleep spray occasionally bumped over the side
and gave them a fresh soaking, but

809
01:23:31.399 --> 01:23:36.880
it had no power to break their
repose, and neither knew that they bequeathed

810
01:23:36.920 --> 01:23:43.439
to the cook. Now the only
man awake on an ocean the company of

811
01:23:43.479 --> 01:24:08.520
another shark. Boys goods today?
Huh? Who drifted it pretty close?

812
01:24:09.159 --> 01:24:11.960
I guess one of you better take
her out to see again, all right,

813
01:24:12.079 --> 01:24:16.159
captain, Oh no, I'll do
it. Make it easy. Put

814
01:24:16.199 --> 01:24:29.560
the working hard now easy now?
Sorry? Well, yeah, I'm getting

815
01:24:29.640 --> 01:24:32.800
sure. Anybody shows me even a
photograph of the I'm in a break game

816
01:24:34.439 --> 01:24:43.439
on bicycle, no bus, not
even a dog I guess i'd even like

817
01:24:43.520 --> 01:24:46.600
to see that fellow as a cloat
again. Yes, we all well.

818
01:24:47.479 --> 01:24:54.159
At least the light tower is still
in sight. I'd rather not see well.

819
01:24:56.319 --> 01:25:00.880
For one thing, I don't think
anyone ever climb up there. They

820
01:25:00.920 --> 01:25:06.079
did, we'd have help. If
no help is coming, we might better

821
01:25:06.119 --> 01:25:12.399
try to run through the set when
right away. We stay out here much

822
01:25:12.439 --> 01:25:15.800
longer, we'll be weak to do
anything for ourselves at tall pretty so,

823
01:25:15.199 --> 01:25:20.840
Captain's right, anything's better than this, right, Head her into the beach,

824
01:25:20.880 --> 01:25:39.199
Head her into the beach. Bro
the beach, sir, Oh boys,

825
01:25:39.239 --> 01:25:42.840
hear this. She's gonna swamp shore. What we can do is wake

826
01:25:42.880 --> 01:25:45.960
her in as far as possible,
and then when she swamps, pile out

827
01:25:45.000 --> 01:25:48.560
and scramble for the beach. Yes, you're heart, I can swim it

828
01:25:48.600 --> 01:25:55.720
all right, till if we get
implosible, keep pulling our boys, and

829
01:25:55.960 --> 01:26:00.880
don't jump until she swamps shore,
I said Cavin. I think I better

830
01:26:00.920 --> 01:26:03.319
bring her about, keep her head
onto the sea and back around, all

831
01:26:03.399 --> 01:26:09.319
right, Billy, I don't think
we're getting very close. Captain. We

832
01:26:09.399 --> 01:26:15.960
won't try and remember your will hear
of the boat when you jump? Oh

833
01:26:15.079 --> 01:26:20.479
weller beller, out why I can't
get down the saucer. Yes, he

834
01:26:20.760 --> 01:26:39.800
huns winds you jump. The sea
pummeled them and spewed them about. It

835
01:26:39.920 --> 01:26:43.880
plunged them downward and threw them skyward, and all wondered, am I going

836
01:26:43.920 --> 01:26:46.119
to drown? Am I going to
drown? With the sand and the trees

837
01:26:46.119 --> 01:26:49.800
over there? Am I going to
drown? A man came running along the

838
01:26:49.800 --> 01:26:53.560
shore. He was in the water
in a matter of seconds, pulling the

839
01:26:53.640 --> 01:26:58.039
cook ashore first, then returning to
help the captain. Then the correspondence,

840
01:26:59.159 --> 01:27:13.359
Here you go, Now you hang
down for Come on, it's all right.

841
01:27:15.560 --> 01:27:23.520
I thought it was all over.
Look in the shadows. Face downward

842
01:27:23.560 --> 01:27:28.960
lay the oiler. His forehead touched
sand that was periodically between each wave clear

843
01:27:29.000 --> 01:27:40.840
of the sea. It seemed that
instantly the beach was populated with men and

844
01:27:41.000 --> 01:27:45.119
flasks, blankets and clothes, and
women with coffee butts. But while the

845
01:27:45.199 --> 01:27:50.600
captain and the cook and the correspondent
took all of these remedies, a still

846
01:27:50.760 --> 01:27:59.000
and dripping shape was carried slowly up
the beach, and the land's welcome for

847
01:27:59.199 --> 01:28:19.600
Billy the oiler could only be the
hospitality of a grave transcribed under the direction

848
01:28:19.640 --> 01:28:24.560
of Anthoni Ella's Escape has brought You
The Open Boat by Stephen Crane, adapted

849
01:28:24.560 --> 01:28:27.880
by E. Jack Newman. In
order of their appearance, you've heard William

850
01:28:27.920 --> 01:28:31.199
Conrad is the narrator, Tom Tully
the correspondent, Edgar Berrier the captain,

851
01:28:31.279 --> 01:28:35.359
Bob Sweeney the cook, Dave Young
the oiler, and Jack Carroll the man.

852
01:28:36.039 --> 01:28:43.800
The special music for Escape is composed
and conducted by Leith Stephens. Well,

853
01:28:43.840 --> 01:28:50.279
my dear, the hour is getting
quite lenk, but I'm feeling nostalgic.

854
01:28:50.439 --> 01:28:59.159
You see this time of year,
Well, people are thinking about those

855
01:28:59.359 --> 01:29:05.439
like me, those who dwell where
others pray. They never go. Oh

856
01:29:05.479 --> 01:29:09.479
no, no, no, no, nothing to worry about, no sadness

857
01:29:09.479 --> 01:29:16.840
here. It's just the way of
the world and beyond. But one thing

858
01:29:16.960 --> 01:29:23.960
I miss, almost as much as
Sea Fairy, is getting a letter in

859
01:29:24.039 --> 01:29:29.720
the mail. I know, I
know, so mundane, so averliche,

860
01:29:30.039 --> 01:29:36.920
but I sure miss a little piece
of paper meant only for me. But

861
01:29:38.079 --> 01:29:45.279
this story is about something more devious. A crank letter, that's the title,

862
01:29:46.359 --> 01:29:51.520
A letter sent to you, it
with malice behind it. I'll put

863
01:29:51.560 --> 01:30:00.840
another log on the fire and you
listen. Now, another well calculated to

864
01:30:00.960 --> 01:30:10.359
keep you in suspense. Have you
ever received a letter threatening your life?

865
01:30:10.960 --> 01:30:14.960
And if you did, what did
you do about it? Well, let's

866
01:30:14.960 --> 01:30:20.199
find out what doctor Fraser did as
we listened to crank letter written for suspense

867
01:30:20.439 --> 01:30:39.119
by Walter Black, doctor Fraser speaking
doctor Paul Eman over homicide. Oh you

868
01:30:39.439 --> 01:30:44.239
believe in telepathy, lieutenant? Well, I was just about to pick up

869
01:30:44.239 --> 01:30:46.680
the phone to call you. Oh, I guess the department must have modified

870
01:30:46.680 --> 01:30:51.359
you. Huh notified me about what? Are you going to a physical checkop?

871
01:30:51.439 --> 01:30:58.680
Is that what you meant? No? No, you see, I

872
01:30:58.760 --> 01:31:02.159
got a letter and I wanted to
talk to you about it. Could I

873
01:31:02.239 --> 01:31:05.800
drop in later today? Well?
Sure, if you want again, and

874
01:31:05.840 --> 01:31:10.239
wait until I com buy my check
up save your trip. Well, I

875
01:31:10.239 --> 01:31:15.960
guess it can wait. Let me
see. Can you come in at at

876
01:31:16.039 --> 01:31:19.640
four today? Yes I can.
I'll see it in doctor lieutenant. Yes.

877
01:31:20.560 --> 01:31:25.960
Now the outer door will be locked, so just call out and I'll

878
01:31:26.039 --> 01:31:35.239
let you in. You can put
your shirt back on now, lieutenant.

879
01:31:35.439 --> 01:31:39.359
Okay, Wow, what's the verdict? Oh? Yeah, here sound as

880
01:31:39.439 --> 01:31:42.800
a pre war dollar follow. If
I were you, I'd take off a

881
01:31:42.800 --> 01:31:45.920
couple of pounds around the middle,
And I keep telling myself I will but

882
01:31:45.960 --> 01:31:48.239
when it comes to my wife's cooking, I got all the little power of

883
01:31:48.239 --> 01:31:54.439
a jelly face. All right,
doc, Now sure turn you mentioned the

884
01:31:54.520 --> 01:32:00.720
letter? Yes, yes, here
read it? You quite are all alike

885
01:32:00.920 --> 01:32:04.840
murderers. Honest people aren't safe from
Butcher's like you. If the law won't

886
01:32:04.840 --> 01:32:09.920
punish you, I will be avenger. Now she went to a lot of

887
01:32:09.920 --> 01:32:13.319
trouble, didn't g cut out all
the letters on the magazine? She reads

888
01:32:13.319 --> 01:32:16.520
like a woman could be a man. Of course, I suppose you handle

889
01:32:16.560 --> 01:32:23.000
this, haven't you? You mean
fingerprints? Yes, I guess so.

890
01:32:23.159 --> 01:32:25.800
I didn't know what it was,
of course. Well it doesn't matter,

891
01:32:25.880 --> 01:32:29.239
Doc, She probably wore gloves.
I wouldn't worry too much about it.

892
01:32:29.279 --> 01:32:31.039
You wouldn't worry about it. No, no, it's not addressed to you.

893
01:32:31.079 --> 01:32:33.119
No, no, no, take
it easy. I only meant.

894
01:32:33.479 --> 01:32:38.319
We get hundreds of poison pen stuff
like this every year. Ninety nine percent

895
01:32:38.359 --> 01:32:41.399
of them turn out to be crank
letters, and the other one percent,

896
01:32:41.439 --> 01:32:45.800
Lieutenant, what do they turn out
to be? You know of anyone who

897
01:32:45.840 --> 01:32:47.920
might have a grudge against you?
Doctor, No, there's no reason at

898
01:32:47.920 --> 01:32:53.479
all for anyone to hate you.
That right, Well, there's no rational

899
01:32:53.520 --> 01:32:57.960
reason no, I said, no
reason at all. Well it well,

900
01:32:58.039 --> 01:33:00.760
it isn't really a reason. Let
me be the judge. Huh, all

901
01:33:00.840 --> 01:33:04.520
right. It happened last week.
I was performing an operation on an elderly

902
01:33:04.560 --> 01:33:13.079
patient in his seventies. His heart
failed on the table. Everything possible was

903
01:33:13.119 --> 01:33:16.520
done for him, but it wasn't
any use. He died. Anyway,

904
01:33:16.560 --> 01:33:21.439
It's been on my mind. I
feel terrible about it. Guilty, No,

905
01:33:21.439 --> 01:33:26.319
No, Why should I feel guilty? It happens sometimes, no reason?

906
01:33:26.479 --> 01:33:30.079
Just asking him the man who died. What was his name? Gilbert,

907
01:33:30.880 --> 01:33:34.079
Joseph Gilbert, any relatives he lived
with? His son? Name?

908
01:33:34.720 --> 01:33:39.439
Well, I don't. I'll wait
a minute. I probably haven't on his

909
01:33:39.479 --> 01:33:46.079
records. Yeah, here it is
Frederick Gilbert, two ten South Oak Lane.

910
01:33:47.000 --> 01:33:50.520
Do you ever meet him? Yes? What's he like? He's big

911
01:33:50.600 --> 01:34:00.039
and burly. He won well,
it was after his father died. He

912
01:34:00.239 --> 01:34:03.239
threatened to hit me. He had
to be restrained by some hospital attendants.

913
01:34:05.079 --> 01:34:10.720
You think he wrote this letter?
Nope, I think it's just what I

914
01:34:10.720 --> 01:34:14.000
said. It was a crank letter. Beating you up sounds more like his

915
01:34:14.119 --> 01:34:16.439
type. I'm pretty sure it will
turn out to be destined the crank.

916
01:34:29.279 --> 01:34:32.960
Yeah, excuse me, Lieutenant,
but there's a doctor. Donald Fraser outside

917
01:34:32.960 --> 01:34:35.199
says he has to see it,
says it's important. Okay, send him

918
01:34:35.239 --> 01:34:38.680
in, Evans, Yes, sir, you can go on in. Okay,

919
01:34:38.680 --> 01:34:41.880
thank you. I'm sorry to bother
you, lieutenant, but it's not

920
01:34:42.000 --> 01:34:44.760
bother at all. Doc. What's
on your mind? This? Hey?

921
01:34:44.760 --> 01:34:47.119
Of the morning mail? We'll go
on read it all right? All right?

922
01:34:47.119 --> 01:34:51.000
Why don't you sit down and relax
it? Relax? I'm too nervous.

923
01:34:51.159 --> 01:34:56.880
If you must know, I'll suit
yourself. You killed him, you

924
01:34:57.000 --> 01:35:00.199
and I know it, even if
nobody else does. Your turn is next?

925
01:35:01.439 --> 01:35:04.960
Well? Is that all you can
say? Cheap grade of paper and

926
01:35:05.000 --> 01:35:10.640
no signature? You kill them?
Do you think this refers to that patient

927
01:35:10.680 --> 01:35:15.840
of yours? What else can I
think? Look, I'm not normally a

928
01:35:15.920 --> 01:35:19.079
very excitable person, Lieutenant, but
this has got me scared? Yes,

929
01:35:19.680 --> 01:35:27.079
scared? Can you understand that?
Or don't policemen ever get scared? Sure?

930
01:35:27.159 --> 01:35:31.000
We do often send evans in.
And what am I supposed to do

931
01:35:31.039 --> 01:35:32.960
now walk out of here and go
about my business? Is that it?

932
01:35:34.399 --> 01:35:41.840
I'm scared, Neeman, I'm scared
sick? Now does that penetrate? I

933
01:35:41.920 --> 01:35:45.920
want protection? And don't give me
any more of this crank letter routine.

934
01:35:45.920 --> 01:35:49.560
Either this thing is genuine. I
can feel it. I think you're right.

935
01:35:49.640 --> 01:35:59.319
Don Look, why don't you sit
down. I'm sorry, I didn't

936
01:35:59.319 --> 01:36:01.520
mean to blow up. All right, forget it. Let's go one in

937
01:36:01.520 --> 01:36:08.720
Evans. This is doctor Fraser.
Don it's a detective Evans. Evans.

938
01:36:08.720 --> 01:36:11.760
You're off desk dudism now until further
notice. You're a sign of the doctor.

939
01:36:11.840 --> 01:36:14.239
You'll pick him up every morning when
he leaves his apartment. You'll go

940
01:36:14.279 --> 01:36:16.159
out on calls with him, accompany
him to the hospital. It works,

941
01:36:16.199 --> 01:36:18.199
you got it, Yes, sir, And every night you take him back

942
01:36:18.199 --> 01:36:21.760
home and wait until he locks his
door. Yes, sir, what am

943
01:36:21.800 --> 01:36:25.199
I supposed to be looking for?
Lieutenant? Your guess is as good as

944
01:36:25.239 --> 01:36:30.239
mine. Just make sure the doctor
stays healthy. Yes, you are taking

945
01:36:30.279 --> 01:36:44.560
this seriously, aren't you, Paul? I am donald real serious. In

946
01:36:44.680 --> 01:36:55.880
just a moment, we will return
for the second act of suspense. Here's

947
01:36:55.920 --> 01:37:00.199
Hollywood's star Monna Freeman, who feels
like acting with a miserable cold. I

948
01:37:00.239 --> 01:37:03.439
relieve coal distress the fast way with
four way coal tablets. Yes, tests

949
01:37:03.439 --> 01:37:09.239
of all the leading cold tablets proved
fore way fastest acting amazing four way starts

950
01:37:09.239 --> 01:37:13.039
in minutes to relieve muscular pains and
headache, reduce fever, calm ups that

951
01:37:13.119 --> 01:37:15.840
stomach also overcomes irregularity when a cold
strike. To do what I do,

952
01:37:16.119 --> 01:37:19.760
take four way cold tablets. It's
the first way to relieve nasty cold,

953
01:37:19.800 --> 01:37:27.439
distress and feel better quickly. Four

954
01:37:27.520 --> 01:37:30.560
will continue in a moment afterward.
About another fine product of Grove Laboratories.

955
01:37:30.960 --> 01:37:35.720
To get rid of embarrassing dandruff in
three minutes, change to Fitch dandropp remover

01:37:35.800 --> 01:37:41.680
shampoo. Three minutes with Fitch regularly
is guaranteed to keep on sightly dandruf away

forever. Apply Fitch before wetting hair

958
01:37:45.920 --> 01:37:49.039
lather one minute, then rinse one
minute. Every trace of dandruff goes down

959
01:37:49.119 --> 01:37:55.359
the drain three minutes with Fitch and
embarrassing Dandroff's gone. At the same time,

960
01:37:55.399 --> 01:37:59.920
Fitch can brighten hair up to thirty
five percent. Get Fitch dandrop from

961
01:38:00.000 --> 01:38:15.520
over shampoo. Today we was at
the hospital from two thirty five to seven

962
01:38:15.640 --> 01:38:18.840
fifteen. Then we went to eat, went to a movie, not a

963
01:38:18.880 --> 01:38:20.840
bad one. Neither lieutenant to one
of the palace. You've seen it,

964
01:38:20.920 --> 01:38:25.239
have in mind that. No,
sir, we got back to the apartment

965
01:38:25.239 --> 01:38:28.039
at eleven o eight. I checked
it out like always. He locked the

966
01:38:28.039 --> 01:38:30.880
door behind me. I picked him
up again at eight ten this morning,

967
01:38:30.960 --> 01:38:32.479
and i'd just come from his office
office door locked. Oh yes, sir,

968
01:38:32.520 --> 01:38:34.720
I make sure of that, he
says. Some of his patients complain

969
01:38:34.760 --> 01:38:36.960
about it, but he locks it
in. Nothing out of the way,

970
01:38:38.399 --> 01:38:43.039
No, sir, lie then of
name, and it's Don Fraser. Paul.

971
01:38:43.039 --> 01:38:46.720
I got another one, another letter. Read it. You haven't got

972
01:38:46.800 --> 01:38:51.560
much more time, murderer. You
know how to kill? How well will

973
01:38:51.640 --> 01:38:57.079
you die? You've got to do
something, Paul, take it easy by

974
01:38:57.159 --> 01:39:00.279
doing our best. Doc. This
just came in the mail. I call

975
01:39:00.319 --> 01:39:02.399
it on my desk when I got
to the office. I'll be there in

976
01:39:02.399 --> 01:39:15.000
five minutes, Doc, Come on, Evans, let's go. All right,

977
01:39:15.039 --> 01:39:18.159
doctor, and now let's see what
we've got. Your outer door wasn't

978
01:39:18.159 --> 01:39:23.119
tampered with. Neither were the windows
or the catchers. The building superintendent has

979
01:39:23.159 --> 01:39:25.920
been in the cleaning woman was out
six so she wasn't even here last night.

980
01:39:26.039 --> 01:39:29.279
Now you're absolutely certain the door was
locked when you left last night and

981
01:39:29.319 --> 01:39:30.520
locked when you got here this morning, I was with a lieutenant. It

982
01:39:30.560 --> 01:39:33.920
was locked, all right. Yet
there was the letter right on your desk.

983
01:39:33.920 --> 01:39:39.880
How did it get there? What
was it? Paul? I?

984
01:39:39.880 --> 01:39:43.239
I should have mentioned this before,
but I didn't think it was important.

985
01:39:43.279 --> 01:39:47.319
What I lost my key ring last
month? Now it was only missing two

986
01:39:47.399 --> 01:39:50.000
days and then somebody returned it through
the mail. It had my name on

987
01:39:50.039 --> 01:39:54.279
it. Now, I ain't that
just Jim peachee? Dan Well, I'm

988
01:39:54.319 --> 01:39:58.159
sorry. I didn't think it meant
anything. Heavans call the station. I

989
01:39:58.199 --> 01:40:00.600
want that man Gilbert brought in find
out about Gilbert once and for all.

990
01:40:10.760 --> 01:40:14.039
You have to keep that light shining
in my eyes. We don't have to,

991
01:40:14.119 --> 01:40:15.399
but we're going to. We like
to see who we're talking to,

992
01:40:15.680 --> 01:40:19.880
even when they're as ugly as you. I'd like to get you out behind

993
01:40:19.920 --> 01:40:23.960
that badge, busting you to say
that anytime at all. All right,

994
01:40:24.000 --> 01:40:28.039
Gilbert, let's go back over that
story of yours. You gave my man

995
01:40:28.079 --> 01:40:30.239
to slip after retail. You home
last night? Where'd you go? I

996
01:40:30.359 --> 01:40:32.479
told you tell them again? I
went bowling. You always leave by the

997
01:40:32.479 --> 01:40:34.600
back door when you go bowling,
And think I'm a kid of something.

998
01:40:34.600 --> 01:40:36.520
I knew you had a tale on
me. Am. I supposed to write

999
01:40:36.560 --> 01:40:39.800
them a letter if I feel like
going on. Why not you've been writing

1000
01:40:39.800 --> 01:40:42.800
doctor Fraser letter. I ain't writing
nobody nothing. How many times I have

1001
01:40:42.840 --> 01:40:47.800
to tell you turn off the light. You heard me, get that clock

1002
01:40:47.800 --> 01:40:58.479
out of here. It's making me
jumpy. Yes, sir, that's pretty

1003
01:40:58.520 --> 01:41:01.920
rough about your dad, Gilbert dying
on the operating table like that. Of

1004
01:41:02.000 --> 01:41:05.319
course, who's to say whose fault
it was. Accidents will happen. So

1005
01:41:05.479 --> 01:41:09.840
my old man had the constitution of
a Knox. There was no accident that

1006
01:41:09.960 --> 01:41:12.359
killed him. Do you think Fraser
did it on purpose? I thought that,

1007
01:41:12.359 --> 01:41:16.000
Phraser be you really want to know
what I think? Yeah? I

1008
01:41:16.039 --> 01:41:18.520
do. My old man was a
clinic patient. No doe, slap him

1009
01:41:18.560 --> 01:41:20.399
on the table, cut him open. If he lives, okay, if

1010
01:41:20.439 --> 01:41:25.720
he dies too bad? Mh.
Well, Like I said, I don't

1011
01:41:25.720 --> 01:41:30.000
blame you for wanting to get back
at Fraser. Now who I do you're

1012
01:41:30.000 --> 01:41:31.800
oh boy Gilbert, you got the
motive and you got the opportunity. We

1013
01:41:31.920 --> 01:41:34.399
got witnesses who heard you swear to
get even with Fraise. Listen, a

1014
01:41:34.479 --> 01:41:38.119
guy says lots of things that don't
mean any Tell it to the jury.

1015
01:41:38.119 --> 01:41:40.840
Gilbert, you only got one chance. That's the cop A place I never

1016
01:41:40.880 --> 01:41:44.319
wrote, no letters. Where have
you had the Dopeica? Keys? You'll

1017
01:41:44.319 --> 01:41:48.039
find him sooner or later anyway with
a nemen. This is my last warning,

1018
01:41:48.039 --> 01:41:51.800
Lieutenant Fraser, haven't got much time
left. Who's this? You're his

1019
01:41:51.800 --> 01:41:56.319
friend? Tell him to make his
peace with God. If he can't wait

1020
01:41:56.319 --> 01:42:00.720
a minute. How many put a
trace in this coll If you've got anything

1021
01:42:00.760 --> 01:42:03.159
against doctor Fraser, why don't you
come on in. We'll talk it over.

1022
01:42:04.119 --> 01:42:18.760
Give him my message, Lieutenants,
Hello, how likely? I just

1023
01:42:18.800 --> 01:42:23.359
don't get it. I was so
sure Gilbert was the one. You're in

1024
01:42:23.399 --> 01:42:26.760
good company, Doc, We thought
so too. I never did. He

1025
01:42:26.880 --> 01:42:30.760
was just the only pigeon inside.
Doc. Tell me this town you were

1026
01:42:30.800 --> 01:42:32.359
born and where you grew up.
What's the name of it, Haydenville?

1027
01:42:32.640 --> 01:42:36.239
Maybe the answers back there, but
I left after high school. I never

1028
01:42:36.279 --> 01:42:40.119
went back. I told you that. I know. I know what about

1029
01:42:40.119 --> 01:42:42.880
your family. My father's dead,
my mother lives with my aunt out in

1030
01:42:42.880 --> 01:42:45.880
California. Nobody else, brother sisters, cause nobody else. How come you

1031
01:42:45.960 --> 01:42:49.840
never went back there, I had
no reason to. I'd made new friends

1032
01:42:49.840 --> 01:42:54.159
in college and later in mid schooler. Weren't any close ties at home?

1033
01:42:54.199 --> 01:42:56.720
All right, don how about college
medical school? No, no, no,

1034
01:42:57.000 --> 01:43:00.600
nothing there either. I not that
I was the most popular or anything

1035
01:43:00.640 --> 01:43:03.239
like it. But well, I've
never gone around making enemies, and I

1036
01:43:03.239 --> 01:43:06.199
wouldn't call a letter writer up.
Was in perall exactly? Hey, Lieutenant,

1037
01:43:06.199 --> 01:43:09.439
maybe it's a patient. Maybe one
of them is kind of cracked.

1038
01:43:09.760 --> 01:43:14.039
None of my patients has any reason
to wish me harm. Old man Gilbert

1039
01:43:14.079 --> 01:43:15.880
conked out on the operating table.
Was there anybody else? I'm not in

1040
01:43:15.920 --> 01:43:20.399
the habit of either killing or wounding
my patience. Evans. Now you can

1041
01:43:20.479 --> 01:43:23.720
check my records if you like.
Okay, Doc, just ask you.

1042
01:43:25.920 --> 01:43:29.479
Let's go, Evans. I'll pick
you up the usual time if I'm still

1043
01:43:29.479 --> 01:43:45.520
around. Okay, Doc, it's
me up and at him. Hey Doc,

1044
01:43:45.800 --> 01:43:50.039
it's me Evans. Let's get going. I like some breakfast, Doc

1045
01:43:54.800 --> 01:44:01.560
that smells like, Hey Doc,
it's a lot. Let's guess, hey

1046
01:44:01.760 --> 01:44:14.640
do In just a moment, we
will return for the concluding act of suspense.

1047
01:44:17.520 --> 01:44:23.760
Next time you refresh, enjoy a
frosty, ice cold pepsicola sociability Charlie,

1048
01:44:23.800 --> 01:44:27.960
all right, kay, how's this
Pepsi is light, refreshes without filling.

You like to refresh? Have a
pepsi right now. We'll offer it

1050
01:44:30.399 --> 01:44:35.159
to everybody, Charlie. I will

1051
01:44:35.159 --> 01:44:40.600
at home too. Have one at
lunch or with a snack, Charlie,

1052
01:44:40.680 --> 01:44:44.439
at the beach or at dinner.
Wherever you go, wherever you're thirsty,

1055
01:44:59.399 --> 01:45:09.600
Stay here, be sociable for the
weekend. Have plenty of pepsi around.

1056
01:45:09.920 --> 01:45:14.399
Pick up an extra carton today,
See k I'm sociable with pepsi.

1057
01:45:15.000 --> 01:45:34.960
Everyone is? How is he?
Lieutenant doctor says you live? Thank you

1058
01:45:35.119 --> 01:45:41.319
ins that you know something. Frasier
must have opened that door himself, even

1059
01:45:41.359 --> 01:45:44.720
with duplicate keys. Nobody could open
it from outside after he shot the bull.

1060
01:45:44.880 --> 01:45:46.720
So well so, in a case
as crazy as this, it's nice

1061
01:45:46.720 --> 01:45:50.359
to have one solid fact to sink
your teeth into. Crazy as right,

1062
01:45:51.079 --> 01:45:54.600
No sign of a struggle, not
a mark, on him. Yet there

1063
01:45:54.640 --> 01:45:57.680
he is stretched out on the couch
and every burner on the stove going full

1064
01:45:57.760 --> 01:46:00.680
blast. Lieutenant, I just thought
of something. Whoever the guy is,

1065
01:46:00.720 --> 01:46:04.079
he's someone Fraser knows. You don't
open the door in the middle of the

1066
01:46:04.159 --> 01:46:10.760
night to a stranger. No kidding, Well, it's it's nothing like everything

1067
01:46:10.760 --> 01:46:13.039
else we got. Go on back
to the station, Evans. But what

1068
01:46:13.079 --> 01:46:15.439
about you. I'm going to see
Fraser as soon as they let me.

1069
01:46:26.119 --> 01:46:33.199
Doctor Fraser done. Can you hear
me? It's Neman, I am.

1070
01:46:33.800 --> 01:46:38.640
You're going to be all right.
Don you hear me? You're going to

1071
01:46:38.680 --> 01:46:44.880
be all right. He was lucky
this time he won't be again. What

1072
01:46:45.640 --> 01:46:48.520
I should have turned the guests on
earlier? Doctor? Boys? What are

1073
01:46:48.560 --> 01:46:51.880
you trying? Next time? I
use a gun? That's the same.

1074
01:46:54.640 --> 01:46:58.119
It was you on the phone,
wasn't it, Doc? It was me,

1075
01:46:58.279 --> 01:47:03.239
Lieutenant? What what's going on?
It's very simple. I called you,

1076
01:47:04.199 --> 01:47:09.239
I wrote the letters. I try
to kill him, and I'll try

1077
01:47:09.279 --> 01:47:15.920
again. Only the next time it
was you. Who are you? Donald

1078
01:47:15.920 --> 01:47:25.680
Fraser? But Doc radio, okay, you're Donald Fraser. Where do you

1079
01:47:25.720 --> 01:47:31.239
live? Ninety two Main Street,
Haydenville, Haydenville. Where do you work

1080
01:47:32.039 --> 01:47:40.199
Mulholland's meat market after school and then
all day Saturday school. What grade you

1081
01:47:40.279 --> 01:47:45.000
in? I'm a junior in high
school. Why just routine? Donald?

1082
01:47:45.119 --> 01:47:50.479
You you have plans to go to
college. Sure, I'm going to be

1083
01:47:50.520 --> 01:47:57.399
a doctor. You mind me asking
why you're out to kill him? It's

1084
01:47:57.479 --> 01:48:00.399
responsible for Jamie's death, so he
has the pay for it. Jamie my

1085
01:48:00.560 --> 01:48:05.239
brother, he's too I mean,
he was two years younger than me.

1086
01:48:06.239 --> 01:48:11.760
How did he die? He drowned? I don't want to talk about it.

1087
01:48:11.800 --> 01:48:15.119
I have to know, Donald,
how did he die? He got

1088
01:48:15.159 --> 01:48:19.960
cramps, he yelled it. He
could have been saved on it, only

1089
01:48:20.039 --> 01:48:24.560
he was too busy swimming to pay
any attention. By the time he looked

1090
01:48:24.600 --> 01:48:28.239
around, it was too late.
And you blame him for that? Yes,

1091
01:48:29.039 --> 01:48:31.720
he's got the pay. Suppose it
had been the other way around?

1092
01:48:32.439 --> 01:48:36.439
Would you blame Jamie d You know
how it is when you're swimming, you're

1093
01:48:36.479 --> 01:48:41.159
having fun. It's easy to forget
about the guys with you. He shouldn't

1094
01:48:41.199 --> 01:48:45.640
have forgotten. No, but he
didn't forget deliberately? Did he know?

1095
01:48:45.760 --> 01:48:50.359
Will killing him bring Jamie back?
What are you asking me so many questions

1096
01:48:50.359 --> 01:48:56.239
for? Will it accomplish anything at
all. Donald, Maybe it'll give me

1097
01:48:57.840 --> 01:49:02.399
peace. Is that what you want
most? Yes? Killing him will only

1098
01:49:02.399 --> 01:49:06.560
make you feel worse. You'll be
a murderer. Then, is that what

1099
01:49:06.600 --> 01:49:13.000
you want? No, you want
to be a doctor. That means saving

1100
01:49:13.079 --> 01:49:19.199
lives. Donalin not taking him.
Start with him, give him back his

1101
01:49:19.279 --> 01:49:25.640
life. That's the only way for
you to find peace. You believe that

1102
01:49:26.479 --> 01:49:31.760
the Bible says judge not. Let's
g be judged. I don't think a

1103
01:49:31.800 --> 01:49:34.560
guy like you could go through life
with a secret like that on his conscience.

1104
01:49:35.000 --> 01:49:40.640
I just wants in peace. Then
try it. My weight done Forgive

1105
01:49:40.680 --> 01:49:44.439
him. He suffered more than you'll
ever know. How do you know?

1106
01:49:44.560 --> 01:49:48.439
I'm his friend. He's a very
decent guy. I wish you could know

1107
01:49:48.520 --> 01:49:53.840
him as I do. What about
Jamie? If he could, I think

1108
01:49:53.880 --> 01:49:59.199
he'd say the same thing. He
doesn't blame him. It was an accident.

1109
01:50:00.119 --> 01:50:06.680
Try it my way down, will
you, Donald, I'll try,

1110
01:50:08.279 --> 01:50:24.199
good boy, Doc. Can you
hear me? No? Hm hmmm?

1111
01:50:26.319 --> 01:50:30.520
Who is who is? Who is
it? Me? Paul Neeman? How

1112
01:50:30.560 --> 01:50:36.119
do you feel? Oh? Well? Is that mm hmmm? As Evans

1113
01:50:36.119 --> 01:50:45.119
would say, Jim Peachey, Danny, what happened. You had an accident.

1114
01:50:45.680 --> 01:50:53.640
It's over and done with. You're
going to be okay. I it's

1115
01:50:55.439 --> 01:51:02.079
it's funny, Paul, but I
feel I don't know quite how to put

1116
01:51:02.079 --> 01:51:12.439
it, Like a big burdens off
my back. It's crazy, isn't it?

1117
01:51:12.560 --> 01:51:16.880
No? Not at all? Sure
it is whatever happened to me?

1118
01:51:17.000 --> 01:51:23.680
I know, I know it was
no accident. That letter writer will try

1119
01:51:23.720 --> 01:51:29.079
again. No, he won't duck, because you see we found him.

1120
01:51:29.319 --> 01:51:45.159
From now on, I don't think
you'll have any more trouble suspense. You've

1121
01:51:45.159 --> 01:51:50.279
been listening to crank letter written for
suspense by water Black. Oh my my,

1122
01:51:50.640 --> 01:51:56.960
how the time has fled? Well, well, I will be back

1123
01:51:57.079 --> 01:52:02.239
next time. Whenever you want me, you need me, I'll be waiting

1124
01:52:02.720 --> 01:52:09.439
with a hot cup of tea and
a story to tell. So don't you

1125
01:52:09.560 --> 01:52:17.560
worry your pretty little head about it. Oh and I've received an email apparently

1126
01:52:17.640 --> 01:52:23.640
I can get those here from a
listener who asks a very simple question.

1127
01:52:23.800 --> 01:52:28.840
His name is Tom from Rhode Island. He asks, where am I?

1128
01:52:29.159 --> 01:52:32.760
How did I get here? What
do I do? Well? Well,

1129
01:52:33.479 --> 01:52:40.680
my best advice is run as fast
as you can and don't believe the walls

1130
01:52:40.920 --> 01:52:46.319
they're lying. They're all lying.
Hope it helps. But now, my

1131
01:52:46.439 --> 01:52:50.000
dear, it's time for you to
go back to your beautiful home and lay

1132
01:52:50.000 --> 01:52:58.680
your head on your warm pillow,
and remember be thankful for what you have.

1133
01:53:00.039 --> 01:53:11.840
A rambling, bumbling rombling, you, mumbling tim think of break
