1
00:00:09.439 --> 00:00:14.359
Ah, good to have you back
again, my dear. I'm so happy

2
00:00:14.439 --> 00:00:22.160
to see you've scoured your radio again
just for little old me. I've been

3
00:00:22.199 --> 00:00:26.960
doing well, keeping busy around the
place. And what's that? Oh no,

4
00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:29.679
no, no no, I couldn't
begin to tell you where it is,

5
00:00:30.039 --> 00:00:33.920
and not because I'm secretive. I
assure you, no, no,

6
00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:37.359
no, what oh no, no
no, don't even worry about that.

7
00:00:37.359 --> 00:00:41.520
That is of no concern to you. They can't hurt you. Tonight.

8
00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:45.679
We have a pretty scary story.
Of course, every night we have a

9
00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:49.719
pretty scary story. That's kind of
the charm of coming here so late at

10
00:00:49.759 --> 00:00:54.880
night, is it not. This
one gives me a bit of a chill,

11
00:00:56.119 --> 00:01:00.560
kind of like the chill that's now
in the air, per me eating

12
00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:06.159
its way through the breezes on its
way to find us, to find our

13
00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:11.840
bone ones to chill us directly to
the HM. I'd be lying if I

14
00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:18.079
said I didn't enjoy that experience just
just a little little bit. But for

15
00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:21.920
you, are you start a fire
in the fireplace and get you a blanket.

16
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:26.840
Just relax. We're going to enjoy
ourselves very much tonight. And I

17
00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:32.200
assure you, assure you, this
is what you won't soon forget or get

18
00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:57.000
all right, my friends, let's
hear some feel right now. Come here.

19
00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:05.519
Welcome, I am E. G. Marshall. Welcome to the sound

20
00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:12.319
of suspense, to the fear you
can hear. What do you think about

21
00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:17.960
witches? Not the bony hags and
atrocious crones of Shakespeare and legend, or

22
00:02:19.039 --> 00:02:24.120
the poor unfortunates to say them,
but witches who are young? Witch is

23
00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:36.120
what? Beautiful witches who even fall
in love? Excuse me? Who like

24
00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:38.439
you are? Well? I hope
I'm not disturbing you. I've only tried

25
00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:43.280
to make it dead line. Well, if you're in the news business,

26
00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:49.759
I've got something for you, you
better be good. I I'm gonna have

27
00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:53.159
to kill my wife. That won't
be news to any dat I know.

28
00:02:54.560 --> 00:03:02.159
I want you to know why,
Okay, why? Because she's a witch.

29
00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:14.680
Our mystery drama I Warn You Three
Times was written especially for the Mystery

30
00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:21.039
Theater by Sam Dan and stars Joan
Loring. I'll be back shortly with Act

31
00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:35.520
one. It's one of those miserable, stormy nights in the dead of winter.

32
00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:40.039
A thick, cleaning, wet snow
seems determined to smother the entire earth

33
00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:46.800
and everyone on it. You'd think
that most people would choose the cheerful indoors,

34
00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:52.919
a warming fire, a relaxing drink, a comfortable bed. That's the

35
00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:58.759
problem with most people, You can't
figure them. For instance, consider that

36
00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:02.719
line of cars calling down Main Street, bumper to bumper, skiddy sliding?

37
00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:08.360
Where is everybody headed on a knife
like this? Have we become a race

38
00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:15.639
of lemmings? Do we follow some
mysterious unconscious drive? An interesting speculation,

39
00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:19.000
but we won't pursue it. We'd
better consider the traffic which has come to

40
00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:25.360
a complete standstill. A car seems
to be stuck at the intersection. Let's

41
00:04:25.399 --> 00:04:29.959
go, sister, that light stream? What are you waiting already? My

42
00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:33.800
us husband the light I read,
and he said he wanted to step out

43
00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:39.959
and clean off the rear windows.
Your first bad. He just stepped out

44
00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:45.040
a moment ago the car. Maybe
he slipped the snow. Are you all

45
00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:50.240
right? Learning there's nobody around the
back, but he just went out.

46
00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:55.120
Yeah, yeah, yeah, the
queen, the rare windows. That's what

47
00:04:55.199 --> 00:05:01.279
you said. But what could have
just up there about lighting? Let over

48
00:05:01.399 --> 00:05:04.079
that horn? I know you got
one. What's the horror officer? Did

49
00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:06.279
you see a guy get out of
that car? Up? Did I see

50
00:05:06.279 --> 00:05:09.600
a guy get? Yeah? Yeah? Yeah? Did you on a pleae

51
00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:12.040
app for someone? Askit car?
Come on, buck and just tell me.

52
00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:14.439
Did you see a guy cleaning off
the rear window of that car?

53
00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:16.519
Up? Flock? Tell you the
truth? And I wasn't paying the attention

54
00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:19.439
and I was listening to the radio. No, there could have been somebody,

55
00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:23.600
But then again I couldn't say there
was. It's not that I'm not

56
00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:26.399
trying to get involved. Yeah,
I'm a citizen. I know my doing

57
00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:28.439
it. But but yeah, yeah, what back you? Thank you?

58
00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:33.639
Where is my husband? And he
was just the lady? He disappeared?

59
00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:39.240
How could he disappear? I don't
know. I do know he ain't here.

60
00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:42.240
What am I going to do?
Well? You can't keep flocking traffic

61
00:05:42.319 --> 00:05:46.199
late? You gotta move on where
it beats me. But you must try

62
00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:48.360
and get Look, you've got troubles
with your husband, that's your flock.

63
00:05:48.600 --> 00:05:51.199
But when you hold up traffic,
that's my problem. When you feed your

64
00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:54.800
a little gas. Please come on, let's go. But but I can't,

65
00:05:54.839 --> 00:05:59.319
lady, you gotta go somewhere.
I can't go anywhere. I don't

66
00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:16.439
know how to by. That's Lieutenant
Carrol. Yeah, nobody wants this guy

67
00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:21.879
to say, well, technically that
isn't true. His wife wants him.

68
00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:30.079
Okay, well look who's here.
You won't win me pull it surprizes around

69
00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:32.839
this joint tonight, Peterson, I
was helping. You might have a little

70
00:06:32.879 --> 00:06:38.720
bone to throw me page one.
I'll settle for two inches on the bottom

71
00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:42.680
of page thirty eight if you promise
to remember two r's and one l.

72
00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:48.000
First name Irvin, not IRVN.
Lieutenant Irvin Carroll. We may have something

73
00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:51.959
shaping up. Ah. I don't
know where it can go. Everywhere or

74
00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:57.079
nowhere? Wherever I got to those
sitting over there on the first bench.

75
00:06:57.600 --> 00:07:03.920
Oo, that's nice and married.
You win, You lose a very very

76
00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:08.800
weird story. Tell me about it. No, let her tell you about

77
00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:15.240
it. Why didn't you ask her? Excuse me? My name is Fred

78
00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:19.199
Peterson. I'm a reporter for the
Union Messenger. Oh no, I don't

79
00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:25.800
want to talk to a reporter.
Why not because because you're afraid? Why

80
00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:29.160
could you put Tom's picture in the
paper? Well, like the peg says

81
00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:33.240
Tom done and he disappeared. Well, we need the how the when the

82
00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:39.279
whey the wind? About an hour
ago where hundred ninet eighty six at Main

83
00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:46.279
Street. How I don't know.
You see, we were driving south.

84
00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:48.120
It was snowing hard, and he
said, I can't see out the rear

85
00:07:48.160 --> 00:07:54.360
window. The light was ready stepped
outside to wipe it off. He didn't

86
00:07:54.399 --> 00:07:57.680
come back. Where did he go? I don't know? Well, where

87
00:07:57.720 --> 00:08:01.279
could he go? I don't know? And that's no and there's nothing around

88
00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:09.120
here? Good? Could you give
me a wine? I I can't imagine.

89
00:08:09.240 --> 00:08:13.439
I don't know what to do.
I sit here waiting. Look,

90
00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:18.560
my name is Hetty Parton's Tom and
I. We've been married five years.

91
00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:24.240
We don't have any problems. I
mean we're very happy. If you print

92
00:08:24.279 --> 00:08:26.720
his picture in the story, maybe
someone will see it. Who can help

93
00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:31.759
us? Excuse me a minute.
Well, yeah, I think I'll run

94
00:08:31.840 --> 00:08:35.320
with it. I don't blame you. I was always partial to girls with

95
00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:39.440
honey colored hair and baby blue eyes. Ah, so you'll notice too.

96
00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:43.039
Have you run a check on her
husband, Tom Parson. He's not one

97
00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:45.960
of the known bad boys, no
record at all. And what did she

98
00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:48.919
say? Did? He's on accountant. He has his own business in the

99
00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:50.480
Barstow building. He looked him up
in the phone book. Checks south.

100
00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:54.919
They were headed south. Huh,
that's what she says. If it was

101
00:08:54.960 --> 00:08:58.240
a trip, there should have been
baggs. There were his and hers,

102
00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:01.080
his and hers? How does it
look? What do you want from me?

103
00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:05.000
I don't solve crimes. I sit
here behind the dem my lieutenant,

104
00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:07.159
this is one for you, Fred. How could a guy disappear just like

105
00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:11.519
that and in that storm? H
it's no place to go. He could

106
00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:15.679
have had a car following in back
of them, a friend was driving it.

107
00:09:15.720 --> 00:09:18.679
Maybe well, he had to go
somewhere. But why right now?

108
00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:22.919
We're treating it as missing persons.
It's all we can do. He's not

109
00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:26.200
wanted for anything. He's a legitimate
citizen. Far as we know. He

110
00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:28.120
hasn't even done anything to her.
At worst, he left her in the

111
00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:33.720
car. He hasn't even deserted her
yet. Who is driving? He was?

112
00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:37.080
She can't. That's abandoning her,
isn't it. No? At best,

113
00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:41.399
we'd have him for abandoning the car. Yeah, he excuse me a

114
00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:48.440
minute. Listen, missus Parsons.
Why why don't you go home? I've

115
00:09:48.440 --> 00:09:50.399
got my car outside. Oh no, no, I want to be here

116
00:09:50.440 --> 00:09:54.279
in case they find her. I'll
let you know if they find. No.

117
00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:58.799
I don't want to be home alone
tonight. I just want to stay

118
00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:01.799
here. But it may be or
is it maybe even danger? Sorry,

119
00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:09.120
I'm just so jumpy, so nervous. I can't believe what's happened to me.

120
00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:13.440
Well, if you're gonna sit here, you should have some coffee and

121
00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:15.879
a sandwich. Oh I couldn't think
of food. I'll be right back.

122
00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:26.679
Hey there I was a Dennet.
Well look who's here? The friendly report?

123
00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:30.320
Yeah, listen that girl. I
was gonna ask what girl, but

124
00:10:30.360 --> 00:10:33.559
I won't. Yeah, I want
to start at the beginning. Oh,

125
00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:37.720
well, you know, Lieutenant Charoll's
got two hours, but Patrolman Dennet's got

126
00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:39.480
two Yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah. What did happen? Like?

127
00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:43.120
She said he went out to clean
the rear window and he was going anybody

128
00:10:43.159 --> 00:10:46.960
see him? I checked the car
and back, but who looks? Who

129
00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:50.200
notices? Where could he have gone
around here? Now on the south side

130
00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:54.600
you got open fields. On this
side he had a couple of warehouse buildings

131
00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:58.840
blocked up night watchmen. Yeah,
he's a retired cop. No sign of

132
00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:03.039
anybody trying to break in, the
hide or whatever he may have wanted to

133
00:11:03.039 --> 00:11:07.399
do. Okay, so what could
have happened to the guy. That's all

134
00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:11.200
very interesting. But in fifteen minutes, I go off duty and I won't

135
00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:24.039
have to worry about it. Oh. I didn't think I could touch a

136
00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:28.679
thing, but I must have been
starving. Hasn't been anywhere. Yeah,

137
00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:31.000
you'll hear the minute they know.
Now listen, Hetty, I can help

138
00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:33.799
you, but you have to help
me. I'll do whatever I can.

139
00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:39.360
We have two basic roads to explore. One somebody was out to get your

140
00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:45.919
husband. Oh no, No.
Tom is the mildest, sweetest, most

141
00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:50.840
obliging guy on earth. He has
absolutely no enemy that you know about it.

142
00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:54.960
Tom and I have no secrets from
each other. Everybody has at least

143
00:11:54.039 --> 00:12:00.360
one enemy. Tom is incapable of
hurting anyone in any way. He sounds

144
00:12:00.399 --> 00:12:03.879
too good to be true. If
he does have a problem, that's it,

145
00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:07.639
all right. The second road to
explore, he wasn't pushed. He

146
00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:15.039
jumped. What does that mean?
It means he walked out on you.

147
00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:24.960
Oh, it's inconceivable. Why I've
had a liberal education tonight, mister Peterborough.

148
00:12:24.279 --> 00:12:28.440
Fred No, not yet, or
maybe never. I've been introduced to

149
00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:35.240
a new world. I've been thrown
in with people who basically, don't believe

150
00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:39.440
in anyone, don't trust anyone.
And perhaps they have good cause. Perhaps

151
00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:41.960
that's how life is in their world. Perhaps their world is the real world,

152
00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:45.960
but he isn't my world. May
I ask, do you come from

153
00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:52.159
another world? It's entirely possible.
I won't call you Fred unless and until

154
00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:56.440
we become friends. But that's just
a little thing. The policeman who brought

155
00:12:56.440 --> 00:13:01.440
me here is a confirmed cynic,
so is the lieutenant, and so are

156
00:13:01.480 --> 00:13:05.960
you. I must plead guilty as
child. All of you propose two basic

157
00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:11.120
hypotheses. A. My husband was
ambushed by enemies. Be my husband abandoned

158
00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:16.720
me. You can't conceive of people
who they simply don't make or have enemies.

159
00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:22.080
You can't conceive of people who are
completely in love. I'm not a

160
00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:26.360
fool, mister Peterson. I read
these attitudes. What a wonderful world you

161
00:13:26.440 --> 00:13:30.799
live in, missus Parson's. I
hope you can stay there always. We're

162
00:13:30.840 --> 00:13:35.720
so dependent on each other, Tom
and I we need each other, We're

163
00:13:37.679 --> 00:13:41.799
we're so complete together. But we
still have the basic fact of his disappearance.

164
00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:46.840
Yes, but all you can see
are two alternatives. There is a

165
00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:50.000
third, you know, really,
perhaps he was taken ill suddenly, and

166
00:13:50.039 --> 00:13:52.440
he just wandered off. Oh maybe
I should go back there. I have

167
00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:56.000
already been back there. There is
no place he could have wandered off to

168
00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:03.879
tell me. Does he have a
history of any sort of illness, amnesia,

169
00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:09.000
anything like that. No, nothing
like that. Well, where are

170
00:14:09.039 --> 00:14:13.320
we nowhere? Perhaps you are nowhere, mister Peterson, is okay? Tell

171
00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:18.600
me where you are? I have
faith. I believe Tom will be found

172
00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:24.240
or he will find himself, and
he will have an absolutely reasonable and rational

173
00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:31.519
explanation, I hope. So hey, oh, hey, job, Oh

174
00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:35.080
Tom, darling, job, what
happened to you? I was so scared,

175
00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:37.480
darling, you're all right? Hey? Are you all right? Yes?

176
00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:39.960
I don't understand. I happened to
tune in the news and there it

177
00:14:41.120 --> 00:14:45.279
was. Tom Parson's accountant with offices
in the Barstow building, had disappeared under

178
00:14:45.320 --> 00:14:48.440
mysterious circumstances. Time. I was
so worried. Mister Parsons was driving with

179
00:14:48.480 --> 00:14:52.320
his wife. He stepped out of
the car to clean off the rear window,

180
00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:56.919
and Hetty, what did you tell
them? I wasn't in the car

181
00:14:56.960 --> 00:15:07.480
with you, I was a home. Well, here we have the story

182
00:15:07.519 --> 00:15:13.200
of two people who love each other
deeply, who trust each other completely.

183
00:15:13.159 --> 00:15:18.679
It sounds like the garden of Eden. But we all know what happened back

184
00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:22.559
there in the traffic, in the
snow. We shall return shortly with that

185
00:15:22.759 --> 00:15:39.399
too. You've seen these couples,
or rather heard of them. They dwell

186
00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:43.919
in a sea of perfect harmony,
never a ripple of discord. But when

187
00:15:43.960 --> 00:15:50.000
they do have a disagreement, well
it's a butte. Here we have Fred

188
00:15:50.039 --> 00:15:56.519
Peterson listening to Hetty and Tom Parsons
having a fantastic difference of opinion. Tom,

189
00:15:56.960 --> 00:16:00.320
Tom, how can you say that, Eddie Darling? I was in

190
00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:03.759
the car with you, I was
home home. You said, let's get

191
00:16:03.840 --> 00:16:06.799
out of this miserable cold and snow. Let's heads out for a couple of

192
00:16:06.879 --> 00:16:08.960
weeks. Hetty, When did I
say that? How could I say that?

193
00:16:10.240 --> 00:16:11.960
You know I'm swamped with work at
the office. You came home this

194
00:16:12.039 --> 00:16:15.639
afternoon, Tom, you said,
how would you like to leave for Florida

195
00:16:15.679 --> 00:16:18.480
tonight? And I said, give
me an hour to part? Was he?

196
00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:22.480
Oh, he's just I'm just Fred
Peterson of the Union. Message.

197
00:16:22.480 --> 00:16:26.159
You a reporter, Please please please
don't be alarmed. I assure you it's

198
00:16:26.159 --> 00:16:32.720
a thoroughly respectable profession. I see
no point in well emblazoning miss all over

199
00:16:32.759 --> 00:16:37.159
the newspapers. Is there anything to
emblazon? As you put it, this

200
00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:40.240
is a private affair, Tom,
Tell me what happened? What happened to

201
00:16:40.279 --> 00:16:42.960
you after you left me? Eddie? I told you I never left Tom.

202
00:16:44.200 --> 00:16:47.559
How could I have left you?
I wasn't with you? Oh no,

203
00:16:47.639 --> 00:16:52.000
Tom, This time I have witnesses. The police officer he knows you

204
00:16:52.039 --> 00:16:56.039
went out to clear the rear window, because he because you told it,

205
00:16:56.120 --> 00:17:00.600
mister Parsons. Now, obviously your
wife seems distraught. I would suggest give

206
00:17:00.639 --> 00:17:04.279
your suggestions to yourself, mister Peterson. Don't you dare imply that I'm overwrought

207
00:17:04.400 --> 00:17:10.319
or nervous or hysterical. I am
completely calm, extremely rational, and absolutely

208
00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:12.960
in command of myself. I know
what happened this evening, mister Peterson.

209
00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:17.400
This is obviously a private matter between
my wife and me, and nobody's business

210
00:17:17.400 --> 00:17:21.359
but ours. What did you mean, missus Parson's when you said that this

211
00:17:21.440 --> 00:17:26.119
time you had witnesses? Have there
been other times when hetty? It doesn't

212
00:17:26.119 --> 00:17:29.359
do us any good to air this
in public? All right, Tom,

213
00:17:29.799 --> 00:17:33.640
take me home. Let me talk
to that officer at the desk there find

214
00:17:33.640 --> 00:17:41.519
out that there's anything we have to
do? Well, Well, what friend,

215
00:17:41.680 --> 00:17:45.960
husband Tom? He didn't turn out
to be quite as advertised? And

216
00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:49.839
what is that supposed to me?
He isn't quite the sweetest, mildest,

217
00:17:49.920 --> 00:17:56.079
most obliging guy on earth? Is
he he is? To me? I

218
00:17:56.119 --> 00:17:57.920
guess it's all a matter of how
these words are defined, isn't it?

219
00:17:59.440 --> 00:18:03.640
And about it is oh so complete
understanding between the two of you. Won't

220
00:18:03.640 --> 00:18:07.839
you at least admit you're having a
difference of opinion right now? I don't

221
00:18:07.880 --> 00:18:11.559
have to admit anything. Okay,
okay, don't shoot, I'll go quietly.

222
00:18:12.079 --> 00:18:15.880
Are you sure you really want me
to go sleep? Regardless of what

223
00:18:15.960 --> 00:18:21.640
you say to me, you are
in trouble. No, no, don't

224
00:18:21.680 --> 00:18:25.000
deny it. Well, what if
I have I'd like to help you?

225
00:18:25.480 --> 00:18:30.720
Why? Because would you want to
help me if I were middle aged and

226
00:18:30.880 --> 00:18:33.680
fat and sloppy and ugly? It
isn't. Ten minutes ago you accused me

227
00:18:33.759 --> 00:18:37.759
of living in a world where no
one trusted the next fellow or believed in

228
00:18:37.839 --> 00:18:41.240
him. You accused me of being
a confirmed cynic. Is it possible you

229
00:18:41.279 --> 00:18:45.440
don't remember what you say from one
minute to the next. I'm sorry,

230
00:18:45.799 --> 00:18:48.799
don't be there's a great deal to
what you said. You're kind, but

231
00:18:48.839 --> 00:18:52.000
no one can help me. I
could try, and no one should try

232
00:18:52.160 --> 00:19:00.119
either. Why not it's too dangerous. That was the wrong thing to say

233
00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:03.519
to me. I'm warning you.
You're only getting me in deeper. Please.

234
00:19:03.480 --> 00:19:07.680
My business is to take chances and
get myself into Hey, you know

235
00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:12.519
what happened. You called me Fred. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have what

236
00:19:12.640 --> 00:19:17.279
you did, and that means we're
friends. Look, I only want the

237
00:19:17.319 --> 00:19:19.880
one who set up the ground rules
for this thing. First names are for

238
00:19:21.119 --> 00:19:25.480
friends only. Please forget what happened
here tonight. I warn you. You

239
00:19:25.640 --> 00:19:29.599
already warned me twice. It won't
work. I can only warn you three

240
00:19:29.680 --> 00:19:33.440
times. You mean you keep school. Please don't joke Fred. You keep

241
00:19:33.519 --> 00:19:37.039
saying the wrong word, or I
should say the wrong name. The wrong

242
00:19:37.160 --> 00:19:41.319
name is Fred. You can't call
me Fred and expect me to forget everything.

243
00:19:41.519 --> 00:19:47.720
I warn you. I warn you
for the third time, forget all

244
00:19:47.759 --> 00:19:52.400
about tonight for your own sake,
for your own safety. After saying all

245
00:19:52.519 --> 00:19:56.839
that, you still expect me to
forget about it. I tell my husband

246
00:19:56.880 --> 00:19:59.759
I wait for him outside in the
car. I warn you, Fred,

247
00:19:59.799 --> 00:20:06.400
I you three times down? Goodbye? Where's my wife? She said she'd

248
00:20:06.400 --> 00:20:11.680
meet you in the car. Mister
Peterson. If I were you, I'd

249
00:20:11.720 --> 00:20:15.279
forget everything that happened tonight. I
had a threatened, a warning. It's

250
00:20:15.359 --> 00:20:18.680
all I've been getting around here.
Warnings, well for your own good take

251
00:20:18.720 --> 00:20:22.000
them serious. If I don't,
you'll regret it for the rest of your

252
00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:25.319
life, which may not be a
long one. You're still insist that you're

253
00:20:25.319 --> 00:20:29.119
not threatening me. I'm only trying
to help you, really, and why

254
00:20:29.160 --> 00:20:33.559
should you do that? Why?
I don't know why. Maybe it's because

255
00:20:33.599 --> 00:20:37.799
the last guy tried to help me? What last guy? I didn't listen

256
00:20:37.880 --> 00:20:41.599
to him? The last what do
you mean? Nothing? Forget it?

257
00:20:41.920 --> 00:20:44.680
You know, with you and your
wife, it seems everything turns out to

258
00:20:44.799 --> 00:20:47.720
be nothing, And forget it.
I don't think it matters. Now I

259
00:20:47.759 --> 00:20:53.000
have an idea. It's already too
late for you. I'm sorry. Good

260
00:20:53.039 --> 00:21:02.160
night, mister Peterson. Afhere,
Fred, Yeah, lieutenant, I'm coming.

261
00:21:03.359 --> 00:21:10.160
Well, Well, what there's nothing
there plus boys in blue? What's

262
00:21:10.160 --> 00:21:15.359
in it for the fourth estate?
Looks like he's trying to drive her nuts?

263
00:21:15.960 --> 00:21:18.400
It could also be the other way
around. I don't think so.

264
00:21:18.160 --> 00:21:23.160
Because of that honey colored blonde blue
tenant, blue tennant, you always know

265
00:21:23.200 --> 00:21:26.920
where the exposed nerve is. Just
stop and figure it. Couldn't this also

266
00:21:26.960 --> 00:21:30.039
be her way of trying to drive
him nuts. As a reporter, I

267
00:21:30.079 --> 00:21:33.680
would have to say yes. But
uh, as a man, I don't

268
00:21:33.720 --> 00:21:37.720
know. And as you got a
problem, Fred, how are you gonna

269
00:21:37.759 --> 00:21:55.359
tackle it? As a reporter or
as a man? Good morning, Fred?

270
00:21:56.200 --> 00:21:59.640
What are you doing here? Won't
you ask me to come in?

271
00:22:00.160 --> 00:22:03.359
Well? I you could also offer
me a cup of coffee. It's been

272
00:22:03.400 --> 00:22:11.519
a long drive on a cold morning. Oh well, I suppose you might

273
00:22:11.559 --> 00:22:19.039
as well come inside. Oh gracious, I'm sorry. I'm well, I'm

274
00:22:19.079 --> 00:22:23.200
still upset and you should know why
come into the kitchen. I was just

275
00:22:23.240 --> 00:22:29.799
pouring myself a cup. Thanks charming, place have you? Thank you?

276
00:22:30.480 --> 00:22:33.440
I suppose Tom is generous enough when
it comes to money and things, the

277
00:22:33.480 --> 00:22:37.599
implication being that he is not generous
when it comes to what Fred. If

278
00:22:37.640 --> 00:22:41.480
you insist I'm talking about Tom,
I'll have to ask you to leave.

279
00:22:41.640 --> 00:22:47.720
Okay, let's talk about you.
No, we can't talk about me either.

280
00:22:48.119 --> 00:22:52.640
What can we talk about? The
weather, politics, sports, you'd

281
00:22:52.680 --> 00:22:56.480
be surprised. I'm a very well
informed person. We could talk about art

282
00:22:56.720 --> 00:22:59.240
or literature. Why didn't you come
here to talk about those things? I

283
00:22:59.240 --> 00:23:03.640
know why you came here to you, Fred. I'm a married woman,

284
00:23:03.720 --> 00:23:07.920
but you're not a happily married woman. I'm happy enough, Okay, let

285
00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:11.960
me tell you why I'm here as
a reporter. That is, it doesn't

286
00:23:11.000 --> 00:23:15.119
happen very often that you get a
chance to be in on a story before

287
00:23:15.160 --> 00:23:19.119
it's a story. You follow me. No, last night, all I

288
00:23:19.160 --> 00:23:22.880
could have gotten out of it might
have been a squib on the back page,

289
00:23:22.960 --> 00:23:26.759
or may be nothing. But something's
happening here. Something's building. I

290
00:23:26.799 --> 00:23:30.680
don't know what it is, but
one of you is lying, one of

291
00:23:30.720 --> 00:23:36.359
you is trying to destroy the other, and you think you can stop it.

292
00:23:36.559 --> 00:23:40.519
Oh no, that's not my job. But there's gonna be an explosion,

293
00:23:41.200 --> 00:23:45.720
and I wanna be there when it
blows, because then I'll have a

294
00:23:45.759 --> 00:23:49.200
story. And that's all this is. That's all I am to you,

295
00:23:51.160 --> 00:23:56.480
a story. I was talking as
a reporter, but as a man,

296
00:23:56.799 --> 00:24:00.519
Yes, as a man, I'd
I'd like to help you, Hetty,

297
00:24:02.440 --> 00:24:07.279
even if it meant losing your story. Yes, I'd like to believe that.

298
00:24:07.519 --> 00:24:10.920
Why can't you. I tried to
warn you, Fred, Look,

299
00:24:10.960 --> 00:24:14.279
we had all that last night.
I can't warn you anymore. But remember

300
00:24:15.039 --> 00:24:18.759
I did worry. Yeah, sure, don't brush it aside. Fit Hetty.

301
00:24:18.839 --> 00:24:21.880
On the general subject of warnings,
I've had a few on my day,

302
00:24:22.000 --> 00:24:26.240
from gangsters, from politicians, I
mean, from people who had clouds.

303
00:24:26.240 --> 00:24:27.920
But I did warn you. Look, if you want me to sign

304
00:24:27.960 --> 00:24:33.400
a receipt, let the record show
that you'll warn me. You were right.

305
00:24:33.559 --> 00:24:37.200
He is trying to destroy me.
Ah, finally, why I don't

306
00:24:37.240 --> 00:24:41.079
know. Okay, let's go through
the standards. Is he after your money?

307
00:24:41.279 --> 00:24:44.440
I don't have any another woman,
I don't think so. Is he

308
00:24:44.559 --> 00:24:48.279
tired of you? I don't know. Well, no, no, this

309
00:24:48.359 --> 00:24:52.039
is very helpful. I'm sorry.
What was this business you were giving me

310
00:24:52.079 --> 00:24:56.680
back in the station. It's about
your perfect marriage, about your perfect husband,

311
00:24:56.839 --> 00:25:03.519
because he is. It's just well
now and then he imagines things like

312
00:25:03.640 --> 00:25:07.119
last night, what's now? And
then oh for every few months. One

313
00:25:07.160 --> 00:25:11.000
time he stranded me up in Maine. Another time he was supposed to go

314
00:25:11.039 --> 00:25:14.400
to Europe. He told me he
would be delayed and to get on the

315
00:25:14.440 --> 00:25:18.119
plane he would make the next one, and there I was all by myself

316
00:25:18.160 --> 00:25:22.039
in Paris. He denied everything.
Has he seen a doctor? Yes,

317
00:25:22.160 --> 00:25:25.440
and it hasn't done any good.
Is he over worked? Oh? Yes,

318
00:25:25.880 --> 00:25:29.640
well maybe he needs a long vacation. I'm sure of it. It

319
00:25:29.680 --> 00:25:33.039
all sounds pretty simple to me except
for one little item. Why have you

320
00:25:33.160 --> 00:25:40.079
insisted on warning me because it was
the right thing to do? I understand.

321
00:25:41.000 --> 00:25:44.119
First you imply that everything is so
simple. Then when I start to

322
00:25:44.160 --> 00:25:47.200
believe it, you drop a little
suggestion that throws me off. Bouls,

323
00:25:47.279 --> 00:25:51.640
I can't seem to get anything definite
out of you. Oh but you did?

324
00:25:52.400 --> 00:26:11.000
What was that a warning? Lieutenant
Carrol Ertenant. I'll go to the

325
00:26:11.000 --> 00:26:14.599
possum case. How did you know
I was going to ask you about the

326
00:26:14.680 --> 00:26:21.440
past? Does there really show that
money? Well? You are something that's

327
00:26:21.480 --> 00:26:25.400
true, and she may even be
playing me like a fish. So what

328
00:26:25.400 --> 00:26:27.200
can I do for you? No
crime has been committed yet, but you

329
00:26:27.279 --> 00:26:32.039
can bet there's one on the way. Well, then wear a handcuffed around

330
00:26:32.079 --> 00:26:34.480
here. Sure, but you got
all the facts. What fact I mean?

331
00:26:34.759 --> 00:26:37.720
I mean you can get at them
in a routine way, work up

332
00:26:37.759 --> 00:26:41.960
both of them. Some past histories'
spending the taxpayers money. You spend the

333
00:26:42.079 --> 00:26:47.880
taxpayers money every day. Something's ready
to blow up there, Just be ready

334
00:26:47.920 --> 00:26:51.000
for it. That's all I'm asking. Actually, Fred, if you want

335
00:26:51.039 --> 00:27:00.079
the truth, we've already started and
keep in touch. Yeah, they said

336
00:27:00.119 --> 00:27:06.519
you're in this office. Well look
who's here, Tom, Tom the Piper's

337
00:27:06.559 --> 00:27:12.480
son. Come on in, mister
Peterson. I've decided to tell you everything

338
00:27:14.599 --> 00:27:18.559
because because I know you're in love
with my wife. Wait a minute,

339
00:27:18.599 --> 00:27:21.240
now, there are all kinds of
meaningless expressions. Wait a minute, see

340
00:27:21.319 --> 00:27:23.640
here, hold on, or if
you let's dispense with them. You can't

341
00:27:23.680 --> 00:27:26.920
accuse me. I don't accuse you. I stayed to fact. Well,

342
00:27:27.279 --> 00:27:30.759
let's be fair. I only met
your wife last night. I admit she's

343
00:27:30.759 --> 00:27:37.079
attracted. I don't even know her. That's what I told him. That's

344
00:27:37.079 --> 00:27:41.319
what you told who the last guy, the last guy she was married to.

345
00:27:42.680 --> 00:27:45.839
I wish I knew how to start
this. Well, start at the

346
00:27:45.839 --> 00:27:52.519
beginning. Okay. I'm an accountant, you're a reporter. Both of us

347
00:27:52.519 --> 00:27:59.319
are men of the world. I
mean this world. You live on facts.

348
00:27:59.359 --> 00:28:03.640
I live on sicks. So how
can I tell you? How can

349
00:28:03.680 --> 00:28:10.559
I expect you to believe me when
I say that Herry isn't a human being

350
00:28:10.599 --> 00:28:22.240
at all. She isn't now she's
a witch. A witch, yes,

351
00:28:22.920 --> 00:28:29.839
that's what he said. A witch. But how can it be it wasn't

352
00:28:29.839 --> 00:28:33.799
all that witch business over and done
with more than two hundred years ago.

353
00:28:33.319 --> 00:28:37.720
Well, that's what we intend to
find out shortly when I return with Acts

354
00:28:37.759 --> 00:28:53.599
three. Tom Parsons and Fred Peterson
sit in a newspaper office, both a

355
00:28:53.759 --> 00:29:00.480
young, alert, stylishly dressed,
every bit the modern sophisticated men today.

356
00:29:00.400 --> 00:29:07.720
And yet the subject, the very
serious subject under discussion, is witchcraft.

357
00:29:07.359 --> 00:29:11.720
Of all things. Well, it
isn't every day a man accuses his wife

358
00:29:11.799 --> 00:29:15.000
of being a witch. It isn't
every day a man finds out he's married

359
00:29:15.000 --> 00:29:21.559
to one. I can only say, it's incredible. I know. That's

360
00:29:21.559 --> 00:29:25.119
what I said when he told me? When who told him? The last

361
00:29:25.160 --> 00:29:30.279
guy? Tell me about the last
guy. I met Heddy on a cruise

362
00:29:30.279 --> 00:29:37.039
ship about five years ago. She
said her husband had just somehow disappeared.

363
00:29:38.079 --> 00:29:42.680
She was distruught. You know,
she does the distruct bit the perfect.

364
00:29:42.799 --> 00:29:48.119
I know nothing of the kind.
What happened? Had he had he fallen

365
00:29:48.160 --> 00:29:53.440
overboy? That's that's what she made
everybody think till we got a radiogram from

366
00:29:53.480 --> 00:29:57.799
shore. He claimed he knew nothing
about the trip. Well either he had

367
00:29:57.839 --> 00:30:02.319
boarded the vulgar. He had.
Okay, let's get all of that cleared

368
00:30:02.319 --> 00:30:04.960
away. There was a ticket in
his name. There were some people who

369
00:30:06.000 --> 00:30:08.680
claimed they had seen him. The
trouble is there was a pretty drunk bond

370
00:30:08.680 --> 00:30:14.759
biage party. Most everybody was in
no shape to remember anything. Oh yes,

371
00:30:14.920 --> 00:30:18.359
yes, the Stewart did claim to
have seen him aboard. But I'm

372
00:30:18.400 --> 00:30:25.000
convinced the Stewart was bribed, so
I bought his story. I fell in

373
00:30:25.039 --> 00:30:32.839
love with her, just as you
did, and I helped her kill him,

374
00:30:32.960 --> 00:30:36.039
just as you're going to help her
kill me. I think I know

375
00:30:36.160 --> 00:30:40.359
what you think. Do you think
I'm a nut? You could look it

376
00:30:40.440 --> 00:30:45.000
up. Five years ago Stacy's Mountainville
Lodge in the Adirondacks. She called me.

377
00:30:45.039 --> 00:30:48.240
She was desperate. Come up here, he's going to kill me.

378
00:30:48.839 --> 00:30:52.119
I flew up. I found him. They were near a clip. She

379
00:30:52.319 --> 00:30:57.720
was screaming for help. I started
fighting him off. I guess he slipped

380
00:30:57.720 --> 00:31:07.920
the foul over the side. He
was killed. Look it up Carner's office.

381
00:31:08.240 --> 00:31:14.559
You'll see an accident. I have
just see my biolay. How does

382
00:31:14.599 --> 00:31:21.000
it make her a witch? She
told me. She'll tell you afterwards.

383
00:31:22.319 --> 00:31:27.720
She's a witch. She falls in
love with men, gets tired of them,

384
00:31:27.880 --> 00:31:33.880
and destroys them. I thank you. I know. I'm here to

385
00:31:33.920 --> 00:31:37.680
warn you, but I'm going to
kill her first. I gotta get your

386
00:31:37.720 --> 00:31:41.400
cup of cough. You're a fool. I'm here to save your liar.

387
00:31:41.839 --> 00:31:47.119
Sure, okay, look her up. I mean that. See if you

388
00:31:47.119 --> 00:31:49.200
can find a trace of her,
See if you can find out where or

389
00:31:49.240 --> 00:31:53.559
when she was born, who her
parents were. She has absolutely no background.

390
00:31:53.599 --> 00:32:00.319
I tell you this is also familiar. All of this is what he

391
00:32:00.480 --> 00:32:06.039
said to me and what I said
to him back there before I killed him.

392
00:32:06.039 --> 00:32:09.799
Now, nobody's gonna kill anybody.
I don't know you, but you

393
00:32:09.880 --> 00:32:19.640
look like a nice guy. Take
my advice. Save yourself. Save yourself.

394
00:32:25.400 --> 00:32:29.480
I'm not sure I should be here
with you to like said, Well,

395
00:32:30.240 --> 00:32:32.279
you wouldn't let me visit you at
home. It just wouldn't look great.

396
00:32:32.480 --> 00:32:37.079
Yeah, but it's all on the
level. I'm a newspaper man.

397
00:32:37.160 --> 00:32:40.599
It's business. I'm doing a story. I had a very proper upbringing.

398
00:32:43.240 --> 00:32:49.839
Where were you raised, heeddy,
I'd rather not talk about it. Why,

399
00:32:50.759 --> 00:32:55.640
Well, I told you it was
proper, but it wasn't happy.

400
00:32:57.480 --> 00:33:02.440
I shouldn't say this, but they
were times when I thought my parents were

401
00:33:02.559 --> 00:33:07.279
ogres. Is something wrong? Oh
no, no, no, see,

402
00:33:07.000 --> 00:33:13.960
I just hope I I I didn't
spill anything, an't you No, I

403
00:33:14.000 --> 00:33:17.279
didn't have a happy childhood. I
I don't like to discuss it. Here's

404
00:33:17.319 --> 00:33:22.400
something we should discuss. I spoke
with Tom this morning. I think I

405
00:33:22.480 --> 00:33:27.000
know what he told you so far
out I even hesitate to mention it,

406
00:33:27.039 --> 00:33:30.359
but obviously he believes it. I
insisted that he see a psychiatrist. In

407
00:33:30.400 --> 00:33:35.480
fact, we both went, and
it's the doctor's opinion that Tom is riddled

408
00:33:35.519 --> 00:33:40.519
with guilt. You see, he
thinks he murdered Larry Larry my first husband.

409
00:33:42.440 --> 00:33:46.519
But Larry was a brute. I
was very young, and we're really

410
00:33:46.519 --> 00:33:51.880
too young to know anything about people. Larry was a drunk. I didn't

411
00:33:51.880 --> 00:33:55.119
know that either, and when he
had a few, he would abuse me.

412
00:33:58.039 --> 00:34:00.960
Well, I shouldn't have done it, but I was terrified. I

413
00:34:00.000 --> 00:34:02.920
called Tom and he came up and
got into a fight with Larry. And

414
00:34:05.440 --> 00:34:07.480
well, there was that accident,
But why should he get that far out

415
00:34:07.559 --> 00:34:13.559
notion about you. According to the
doctor, it had to be something well,

416
00:34:13.679 --> 00:34:15.519
something he could live with, something
that could justify what he did.

417
00:34:15.599 --> 00:34:21.880
And he really has a vivid imagination. Strikes me as a very sober minded

418
00:34:21.880 --> 00:34:24.599
person. He was a major at
college. He became an ac countinant because

419
00:34:24.599 --> 00:34:30.199
he had to make a living.
I don't know what I'm going to do

420
00:34:30.280 --> 00:34:37.119
about him, Fred, I've had
so much trouble in my life and he's

421
00:34:37.159 --> 00:34:42.159
really a wonderful guy and I love
him. Why does he want to destroy

422
00:34:42.280 --> 00:34:45.800
us? Why should he have a
guilty conscience about Larry whatever happened with him

423
00:34:45.800 --> 00:34:50.280
self? Defense? Well, look, everything will turn out all right.

424
00:34:50.440 --> 00:34:54.719
Oh you're only saying that because you
have to say something. Well Tom,

425
00:34:55.559 --> 00:35:00.280
yes, Tom, but you said
you were working lately. I just took

426
00:35:00.280 --> 00:35:07.400
a break for dinner. John,
you please, Fred. You obviously didn't

427
00:35:07.400 --> 00:35:10.400
hear a word I said this morning? Did you? I heard every word,

428
00:35:10.559 --> 00:35:14.159
heard them all, and listen to
none. Tom. You're not well,

429
00:35:14.199 --> 00:35:16.519
and I know what you think.
You think we should go away for

430
00:35:16.559 --> 00:35:21.159
a rest and all that. Forget
it. I know what i have to

431
00:35:21.199 --> 00:35:28.400
do and I'm gonna do it.
Poor Fred, I feel sorry for you.

432
00:35:28.400 --> 00:35:30.400
You're in love with her. To
keep the record straight. I'm a

433
00:35:30.480 --> 00:35:34.679
reporter. There's a story here.
I aim to get it. Sure,

434
00:35:35.079 --> 00:35:38.639
Sure, that's what you tell yourself. Let's go along with you, Tom.

435
00:35:38.800 --> 00:35:43.119
Suppose what you say is true.
Suppose she's what you say she is.

436
00:35:44.039 --> 00:35:47.480
Why do not walk out get a
reward? I can't why. I

437
00:35:47.519 --> 00:35:52.119
hope you never find out. You
see, she destroys you. She takes

438
00:35:52.119 --> 00:36:00.559
away your capacity to love, your
feelings, your mind. It's as if

439
00:36:00.599 --> 00:36:06.639
you were only just nourishment for her. And when everything you have to give

440
00:36:06.679 --> 00:36:09.400
is guns, she discards you for
someone else. For your own sake.

441
00:36:09.519 --> 00:36:14.800
I think he should be under a
doctor's care in a hospital. I suppose

442
00:36:14.840 --> 00:36:19.320
I should, but I want to
save you. It'll make up for Larry.

443
00:36:19.440 --> 00:36:22.440
I must apologize Fred for exposing you
to all this. I shouldn't have

444
00:36:22.440 --> 00:36:25.000
come here, but you wanted to
expose him to all this. That's why

445
00:36:25.039 --> 00:36:29.400
you came here. You know I
always eat here when I work late.

446
00:36:29.559 --> 00:36:35.159
Tim. I'll do anything you want. Just tell me disappear. There's a

447
00:36:35.199 --> 00:36:37.960
supernatural person. You can arrange that
without any problem. Please Fred go now,

448
00:36:38.079 --> 00:36:40.559
leave us a lord. I don't
want to. He's my problem.

449
00:36:40.679 --> 00:36:46.360
I have to live with it,
and if you stay well, an audience

450
00:36:46.480 --> 00:37:00.760
always excites him. A look,
who finally showed up? What happened to

451
00:37:00.800 --> 00:37:04.239
that Nobel Prize for journalism? You
were working on TenneT? There is no

452
00:37:04.440 --> 00:37:07.400
no about prize for journalism. Well, what happened anyhow I got off it

453
00:37:07.639 --> 00:37:13.679
or couldn't make heads or tails?
Well, we're still on it. As

454
00:37:13.719 --> 00:37:15.920
a matter of fact. Information keeps
pouring in all the time, on her,

455
00:37:16.400 --> 00:37:21.920
on him, funny duck. He
was always interested in spirits, that

456
00:37:22.000 --> 00:37:27.599
kind of thing. He wrote his
master's thesis on something called demonology. There's

457
00:37:27.639 --> 00:37:32.239
not an there for me as a
man or a reporter. False. You

458
00:37:32.280 --> 00:37:37.480
know, I've been married ten years
and I've never been tempted. But if

459
00:37:37.519 --> 00:37:40.000
I could be, she could do
it, or a dam or something.

460
00:37:40.079 --> 00:37:45.199
I'm surprised at you, lieutenant,
but there's hope for you. If what

461
00:37:45.239 --> 00:37:47.880
you say about the husband is true. He winds up in the looney bin,

462
00:37:49.079 --> 00:37:52.199
and after a respectable interval, she
could be yours. That's what's in

463
00:37:52.239 --> 00:37:57.760
your mind, right, You are
the most cynical person I know. I'm

464
00:37:57.800 --> 00:38:00.679
off it with two of a kind. I'd even wait for him myself.

465
00:38:02.639 --> 00:38:08.239
What time I Carol is Fred Peterson
there. Please hold on, I'll see

466
00:38:08.480 --> 00:38:13.480
it's the girl you love. Cut
it out, okay, the girl we

467
00:38:13.559 --> 00:38:16.440
love you? Hear? Yeah,
yeah, I guess I'm here. Take

468
00:38:16.519 --> 00:38:22.440
it. Hello, Fred, I'm
scared. That's a matter of Hey,

469
00:38:22.639 --> 00:38:37.000
don't ask any questions. Just come
to my place quickly coming. Tell me.

470
00:38:37.119 --> 00:38:39.559
I'm so glad you're here, Heddie, heady, why are you shaking

471
00:38:39.679 --> 00:38:45.079
like I'm frightened? I'm fright Please, Heddy, calm down. I'm here.

472
00:38:45.119 --> 00:38:50.119
Everything is gonna be alright. I
do it. I know it's wrong

473
00:38:50.199 --> 00:38:53.960
for me to talk to you like
this, justel like this. I can't

474
00:38:54.000 --> 00:38:58.079
do. I will work it out
somehow. We'll work it out now.

475
00:38:58.239 --> 00:39:00.840
Now, now, why are you
scared? Do you ask him to take

476
00:39:00.880 --> 00:39:06.920
his seat to the Queens this morning? Have I in his pocket? Sure?

477
00:39:07.039 --> 00:39:12.880
Seed it from Carrington's one Double Action
Dan Forth Wilson revolver, count of

478
00:39:12.880 --> 00:39:15.440
a thirty two. He bought a
gun, don't you see? He bought

479
00:39:15.440 --> 00:39:19.039
a gun? All right? Why
would he buy a gun if he didn't

480
00:39:19.039 --> 00:39:22.320
want to kill me? Well,
I think we have enough to interest the

481
00:39:22.320 --> 00:39:28.119
police. Now we'll answer the question, Fred, what do you expect from

482
00:39:28.119 --> 00:39:30.519
the police? I have a permit
for this gun. I have every right

483
00:39:30.559 --> 00:39:36.000
to own it. Look, Tom, I get very nervous when people point

484
00:39:36.199 --> 00:39:40.239
guns at me. Maybe it's unreasonable, but the do you mind putting that

485
00:39:40.239 --> 00:39:44.519
that thing away? Well? I
will after I use it. No,

486
00:39:45.400 --> 00:39:47.679
a fool, You're not a killer. I always thought that. So just

487
00:39:47.800 --> 00:39:52.960
now listen. Let's say you're right, but she is a witch. Okay.

488
00:39:53.199 --> 00:39:58.280
Don't you see you couldn't kill her
anyhow, you'd empty the gun at

489
00:39:58.280 --> 00:40:00.599
her. It wouldn't mean a thing. Fine, and why don't we find

490
00:40:00.639 --> 00:40:07.639
out? I will let you get
away from your friend and try say move.

491
00:40:07.719 --> 00:40:17.639
I'll tell you what gory drop it. I'm trying to h Jo.

492
00:40:20.480 --> 00:40:29.400
You didn't again, Eddie? It? Did it again? Call her doctor?

493
00:40:29.519 --> 00:40:35.719
Eddie? Or what for? Uh? You? Of course, sucker?

494
00:40:37.320 --> 00:40:45.519
You think she she's not worth it? Do you think she's paradise?

495
00:40:47.360 --> 00:40:57.280
She is? She is, but
it doesn't last. It doesn't last,

496
00:40:59.199 --> 00:41:12.039
and then she'll kill you. She'll
kill you too. He's he's dead.

497
00:41:14.360 --> 00:41:17.679
You saw you saw? There was
nothing I could do. I know,

498
00:41:19.599 --> 00:41:35.800
I know better. Call Lieutenant Carroll. Lieutenant it's Fred, Hey, Fred,

499
00:41:35.840 --> 00:41:37.400
I got news for you. What
I mean is I have absolutely no

500
00:41:37.480 --> 00:41:40.280
news for lieutenant. Listen to me. You know we we drew a complete

501
00:41:40.320 --> 00:41:44.440
blank on that dame. We trace
him back to Saint Louis City Hall,

502
00:41:44.480 --> 00:41:47.039
where she married a guy named Blanie
Billows. She gave him a home address

503
00:41:47.119 --> 00:41:53.000
as Charneville, Illinois. But there's
no such place. This thing just materialized

504
00:41:53.000 --> 00:41:58.800
out of thin air, no background
at all. Wait a minute, Hetty,

505
00:42:00.719 --> 00:42:04.800
who are you? Oh a friend? Fight? Why did you call?

506
00:42:05.079 --> 00:42:08.440
Who are you, Eddie friend?
What's on your mind? Eddie?

507
00:42:08.760 --> 00:42:23.000
I warned you three times. Fred
I've warned you three times. And how

508
00:42:23.039 --> 00:42:30.239
many warnings would you have needed or
heated? That's the trouble. When they

509
00:42:30.239 --> 00:42:36.840
have honey blonde hair, it's so
hard to take them seriously. A mistake.

510
00:42:37.840 --> 00:42:54.119
You should always take every woman seriously. We'll be back shortly. Are

511
00:42:54.159 --> 00:43:01.000
there really? Which is everyone must
keep his own counsel on matter. However,

512
00:43:02.000 --> 00:43:07.960
if you should happen upon a damsel
in distress and she has honey blonde

513
00:43:07.960 --> 00:43:16.480
hair and baby blue eyes, remember
we warned you three times. Our cast

514
00:43:16.559 --> 00:43:22.480
included Joan Loring, Mason Adams,
Tom Keena, Alan Manson, and Sam

515
00:43:22.519 --> 00:43:28.880
Gray. The entire production was under
the direction of Hyman Brown. Missus E.

516
00:43:29.000 --> 00:43:31.760
G. Marshall, inviting you to
return to our mystery Theater for another

517
00:43:31.840 --> 00:44:37.400
adventure in the macabre. Until next
time, pleasant dream, let's put on

518
00:44:37.480 --> 00:44:46.239
a jovial record to soothe the fearful
spirits. I hope you enjoyed that one

519
00:44:46.400 --> 00:44:50.400
as much as I did. I
can tell you're a bit cold, and

520
00:44:50.480 --> 00:44:54.199
I don't know if it's because my
fleece blanket is too thin, my fireplace

521
00:44:54.280 --> 00:45:00.599
is too small, or the story
truly gant gant Frankly, I hope it's

522
00:45:00.639 --> 00:45:05.559
the final choice. But either way, I'm glad you are comfortable enough,

523
00:45:06.119 --> 00:45:09.039
and I hope I can count on
you coming back tomorrow night for yet another

524
00:45:09.119 --> 00:45:14.039
tale, because because I can guarantee
you, I'll be here. Me in

525
00:45:14.119 --> 00:45:20.119
this old beat up microphone still works, not sure how, but it still

526
00:45:20.159 --> 00:45:23.559
works, and it lets me reach
out to you, So I consider it

527
00:45:23.599 --> 00:45:28.719
a blessing, and let me tell
you, I'm a little short on blessings

528
00:45:28.760 --> 00:45:34.119
these days. If you wish to
reach out to me, please consider sending

529
00:45:34.159 --> 00:45:38.519
an email to Weird Mysteriespod at gmail
dot com and I'll do my best to

530
00:45:38.559 --> 00:45:40.559
get back to you. But if
you want to hear from me, immediately

531
00:45:42.199 --> 00:45:47.800
well, bust out your ligi board
until tomorrow night, my friends, good

532
00:45:47.880 --> 00:46:02.119

warm bed. Oh okay oh hoky pokyon
