Unknown Broadcast presents four classic old-time radio stories about people trying to create, abandon, revive, or sell a life. A robot who appears human, a fatal vacation, a performance that becomes murder, and a suicidal man offered one impossible bargain make this an anthology of identity, control, and second chances.
Inside this episode:
• Life Blood — Professor Arthur Moore creates Amelia, a sophisticated robot whose beauty convinces Gerald that she is human. Love, jealousy, revenge, and a creator’s need for control turn a technological wonder into a deadly moral problem in this CBS Radio Mystery Theater drama.
• Vacation from Life — Professor Matthew Clark records the story of his isolated summer on Desolation Beach along the Maine coast. A lonely cottage, an unraveling marriage, and a carefully described plan turn a peaceful escape into a Mysterious Traveler nightmare.
• Murder Comes to Life — An Inner Sanctum mystery in which performance, deception, and violence become dangerously difficult to separate. A voyage aboard the SS Monterey draws John into a plot where playing a role may carry real consequences.
• Sell Me Your Life — Lee Bowman stars as Joe Bland, a desperate man preparing to jump from a bridge when a stranger offers to buy the life he no longer wants. Her apparent rescue leads to money, a murdered banker, and a frame-up Joe must survive long enough to expose.
Four complete journeys through artificial life, escape, theatrical murder, and the price of starting over—classic radio suspense for listeners who like science fiction, noir mystery, and supernatural twists.

1
00:00:09.119 --> 00:00:13.039
Well, hello there, So happy to have you back, my dear.

2
00:00:14.039 --> 00:00:17.679
What's that? Oh no, no, no, I was always going

3
00:00:17.719 --> 00:00:19.719
to be right here waiting for you, as I have

4
00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:25.879
been for well some time now. I suppose Happy New

5
00:00:25.960 --> 00:00:28.559
Year to you. I hope you had a wonderful one,

6
00:00:28.839 --> 00:00:33.000
very festive. You know me, know me, all kinds of celebration,

7
00:00:33.359 --> 00:00:36.240
lots of friends, new year, knew me and all that.

8
00:00:37.479 --> 00:00:41.600
But what certainly has not changed is my love of

9
00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:47.520
the macabre, strange and scary. And it seems you are

10
00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:51.759
in the same boat as I am. So enjoy your

11
00:00:51.799 --> 00:00:55.079
first cup of tea. We'll go a little late tonight

12
00:00:55.240 --> 00:01:00.000
just to celebrate. This story is all about that substance

13
00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:03.600
in your veins, that that life.

14
00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:26.879
Blood the CBS Radio Mystery Theater presents.

15
00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:29.840
Come in.

16
00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:32.640
Welcome.

17
00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:33.879
I'm e G.

18
00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:39.040
Marshall. We live in an age of scientific wonders. The

19
00:01:39.079 --> 00:01:42.959
far out science fiction of yesterday has become today's reality.

20
00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:47.560
And yet despite these giant strides unlocking the secrets of nature,

21
00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:54.000
mankind suffers from confusion and fear, fear partially engendered by

22
00:01:54.040 --> 00:01:57.879
these very scientific advances that are first hailed as triumphs.

23
00:01:58.480 --> 00:02:04.359
Why perhaps because the science of technology lacks soul.

24
00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:09.599
You can't help Amelia. Don't you understand she's beyond help.

25
00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:13.319
She is is your doing, Professor, You and your computers,

26
00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:15.280
your laboratories have done this to her.

27
00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:18.599
You're too emotional, Gerald, Why can't you look upon this

28
00:02:18.639 --> 00:02:21.400
as a noble and successful experiment.

29
00:02:21.479 --> 00:02:24.280
Never, I look upon it as a monstrous denial of

30
00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:36.759
the human spirit and the destruction of love. Our mystery

31
00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:40.960
drama Lifeblood, was written especially for the Mystery Theater by

32
00:02:41.039 --> 00:02:46.039
Murray Burnett and stars John Beale and Marian Seldas. I'll

33
00:02:46.039 --> 00:03:03.680
do that shortly with that one. The Bible has it

34
00:03:03.719 --> 00:03:07.319
that the Lord created Eve from one of Adam's ribs.

35
00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:11.639
Tignadian fell in love with a statue of Aphrodite and

36
00:03:11.719 --> 00:03:15.479
brought her to life as Galatea by his earnest prayers

37
00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:18.960
to the gods. I'm sure every man has dreamed of

38
00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:22.919
his idea of the perfect woman. Our story today is

39
00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:25.599
the tale of a man who made that dream come true.

40
00:03:26.240 --> 00:03:29.680
Carol, you surprise me. You can't be serious when you

41
00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:31.360
say you're nervous about seeing Uncle.

42
00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:34.840
He may think I'm too old for you. By the way, Amelia,

43
00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:36.759
just how old are you?

44
00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:37.719
Now?

45
00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:41.560
That is a question No, gentleman asks a lady you

46
00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:45.439
should know left anyway? Is uncle waiting for you?

47
00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:48.159
Yes? And I want you to wait here in Madam

48
00:03:48.280 --> 00:03:49.599
for me. I'll be right back.

49
00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:51.080
I'll wait for you.

50
00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:51.479
Dying.

51
00:03:55.879 --> 00:03:59.199
Nice to see you, Gerald, Now sit down, make yourself comfortable.

52
00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:02.280
Oh, I'm glad my niece has come to visit with me.

53
00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:04.240
I see a lot more of you since she's here.

54
00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:07.000
No, that's exactly what I've come to talk with you about, Arthur,

55
00:04:07.759 --> 00:04:08.319
your niece.

56
00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:11.439
Oh, something important.

57
00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:16.079
Very I've asked Amelia to marry me, and.

58
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:16.120
She said she would.

59
00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:17.319
Oh.

60
00:04:17.399 --> 00:04:20.680
No, I've never liked to you, Arthur, and there's certainly

61
00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:21.600
no reason for you that it.

62
00:04:21.639 --> 00:04:25.240
Don't be a fool, Gerald, I didn't mean that Amdia

63
00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:26.120
had turned you down.

64
00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:27.720
Of course, she accepted you.

65
00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:33.439
I don't understand. I know, and I'm reluctantly forced to

66
00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:37.319
explain when you hear why you won't want.

67
00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:38.040
To marry Amelia.

68
00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:42.399
Impossible. There's nothing you can say about Amlia that would

69
00:04:42.399 --> 00:04:45.560
make me love her any less. She's the perfect woman.

70
00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:48.040
She's not a woman.

71
00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:50.279
What did you say?

72
00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:56.040
I said, Amlia is not a woman. She's a robot,

73
00:04:56.879 --> 00:04:57.519
my creation.

74
00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:01.759
You can't be serious if I had a niece, Gerald,

75
00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:04.120
I'd be the happiest man in the world if you

76
00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:05.480
and she wanted to get married.

77
00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:10.560
You have everything to make a great husband. You're good looking, successful, intelligent,

78
00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:13.319
and you've got integrity.

79
00:05:12.839 --> 00:05:15.680
And thank you. But we're off the point. Are you

80
00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:20.800
trying to tell me that Amelia is a mindless, soulless

81
00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:25.399
replica of a woman. And I didn't know it exactly.

82
00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:28.720
When was the last time you saw a doctor?

83
00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:31.399
I see you all the time, I mean professionally.

84
00:05:32.439 --> 00:05:35.959
You think I've gone over the edge. Uh, all right,

85
00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:38.000
it must be a big shot to you, and you

86
00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:42.040
deserve some proof. Ask commedia to come in.

87
00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:46.360
I don't think that's a good idea. You've inferred that

88
00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:49.759
I've lost my mind. Now I want to prove to

89
00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:53.920
you that I'm perfectly saying. Ask her in now, all right,

90
00:05:54.839 --> 00:06:00.600
all right, whatever you say, Arthur, Amelia, would you come

91
00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:02.240
in for a minute, Sa night.

92
00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:04.639
Gerald. Have you spoken to uncle Arthur?

93
00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:08.560
He has come here me and listen to me carefully.

94
00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:11.680
I always do. Uncle. You taught me that, of course,

95
00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:16.600
who are your parents? Parents?

96
00:06:16.879 --> 00:06:18.160
Is your mother and father?

97
00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:23.120
Oh? My father was your brother and he and mother

98
00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:23.600
are dead.

99
00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:29.120
Good, excellent, but who made you, shaped you, taught you,

100
00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:31.800
told you what to do and say and how to

101
00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:33.839
Behave you uncle, and.

102
00:06:33.839 --> 00:06:34.600
Are you grateful?

103
00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:38.600
I owe everything to you, my very existence.

104
00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:42.759
I understand Gerald has proposed marriage to you. Yes, Uncle,

105
00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:45.560
whom would you rather kiss?

106
00:06:45.639 --> 00:06:47.839
Now? Me or Gerald?

107
00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:52.360
It really doesn't matter to me. Amelia kiss me then,

108
00:06:52.720 --> 00:06:53.319
of course?

109
00:06:54.839 --> 00:06:57.759
Well, Jeral, do you still think I'm out of my mind?

110
00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:03.560
I don't know what to think. If you've really accomplished this.

111
00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:09.600
Miracle, how did you do it? What is she made of?

112
00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:12.959
Sugar and spice and everything nice?

113
00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:15.759
If what you're telling me is true, this is a

114
00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:21.399
scientific miracle. If this is really an automaton your preacher

115
00:07:21.759 --> 00:07:26.560
made up of what in Heaven's name of the results.

116
00:07:26.040 --> 00:07:30.720
Of years of experimentation with computers, sound waves, unheard of

117
00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:35.319
advances in physics and chemistry in short ten years of

118
00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:35.959
my life.

119
00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:39.120
Of course you realize what this means. When you show

120
00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:42.920
Amelia to the world and explain your accomplishment, you'll be the.

121
00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:46.000
Most I have other plans for a media have an

122
00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:46.839
eye idea, so.

123
00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:49.120
You've told me, Uncle, I don't understand.

124
00:07:49.439 --> 00:07:52.279
I intend for her to meet Wilkerson.

125
00:07:52.600 --> 00:07:54.839
Wilkerson, what's he got to do with this?

126
00:07:55.439 --> 00:07:58.480
What do you think will happen when that Romeo that

127
00:07:58.920 --> 00:08:01.319
woman chases set eyes on this beauty?

128
00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:05.759
Tell me that Gerald, don't tell me you're still harboring

129
00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:08.399
a grudge against Wilkerson for something that happened ten years

130
00:08:08.439 --> 00:08:09.040
He's lovely.

131
00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:13.879
Is that how you describe my public humiliation, my being

132
00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:17.279
forced to resign as head of the DNA experimentation project,

133
00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:20.600
of being laughed at because of a stupid mistake that

134
00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:21.319
wasn't mine.

135
00:08:21.439 --> 00:08:27.000
No, it's been long forgotten either not by me. Tell me, Amedia,

136
00:08:27.079 --> 00:08:28.879
what do you think of Harry Wilkerson.

137
00:08:29.879 --> 00:08:36.000
I think he's a most attractive man, very masculine and brilliant. Oh,

138
00:08:36.200 --> 00:08:37.120
I've been a fool.

139
00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:39.919
You couldn't help yourself. No man will be able to

140
00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:41.120
resist a media now.

141
00:08:41.320 --> 00:08:45.679
I mean about swallowing this fairydale about a robot. You've

142
00:08:45.799 --> 00:08:50.440
hypnotized her, that's all. You found a great subject for hypnosis.

143
00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:53.639
And amnor my child? Come here and bring me a pin?

144
00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:55.120
What are you going to do?

145
00:08:55.679 --> 00:08:56.879
Prove to you that.

146
00:08:56.919 --> 00:09:00.679
Immediate is exactly what I said an unfeeling robot.

147
00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:05.000
H Thank you, my dear. Now watch as I take

148
00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:05.480
this pin.

149
00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:11.559
Be careful plunge it deeply and directly into this lovely arm.

150
00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:14.360
So no, did that hurt Amlia?

151
00:09:14.960 --> 00:09:15.480
Of course?

152
00:09:15.559 --> 00:09:21.440
Not well, Jerald. She still could be hypnotized. Then she'd

153
00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:22.159
feel no pain.

154
00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:27.759
Correct, But if she's human, where's the blood.

155
00:09:32.440 --> 00:09:32.519
You?

156
00:09:32.600 --> 00:09:35.240
All right? Gerald? Would you like some brandy?

157
00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:40.360
No? Nothing, thank you, But I would feel better if

158
00:09:40.399 --> 00:09:42.200
you sent Amelia out of the room.

159
00:09:42.720 --> 00:09:46.960
Of course, Amelia, certainly, Uncle, I'll be in my room

160
00:09:47.039 --> 00:09:52.759
if you want me a computer. I fell in love

161
00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:54.159
with a computer.

162
00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:58.120
Oh come on, Gerald, I assure you she's far more

163
00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:02.960
sophisticated and intricate than any a computer. The most advanced

164
00:10:02.960 --> 00:10:05.799
computer is childish in concept compared.

165
00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:07.679
To the media.

166
00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:11.039
Now you understand why I said no to a marriage

167
00:10:11.080 --> 00:10:11.960
between the two of you.

168
00:10:12.639 --> 00:10:15.600
And I suppose I should thank you, but I resent

169
00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:18.200
the fact that you never told me it was an experiment.

170
00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:19.799
I'm no guinea pig, of course not.

171
00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:22.360
I never thought of you that way, but I did

172
00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:23.240
want a test.

173
00:10:23.759 --> 00:10:27.480
And now that you've seen how successful it was, you

174
00:10:27.559 --> 00:10:31.480
can help me by introducing a media to Harry Wilkerson.

175
00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:33.159
I've got to talk you out of it.

176
00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:37.279
Not a chance. Wilkerson's got it coming for what?

177
00:10:38.159 --> 00:10:40.000
Because he failed to stand up and take the blame

178
00:10:40.039 --> 00:10:42.679
for a costly mistake on a project that was headed

179
00:10:42.720 --> 00:10:46.240
by you. It shows a lack of integrity, but it

180
00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:48.720
doesn't deserve the kind of punishment you have in mind.

181
00:10:48.799 --> 00:10:52.360
And you admit it'll work, Wilkerson will fall head over

182
00:10:52.399 --> 00:10:53.639
heels in love with the media.

183
00:10:53.720 --> 00:10:57.240
Now you're out of touch, Arthur. Wilkinson's already fallen. He's

184
00:10:57.279 --> 00:11:02.440
out of his mind about Nita raven Right, the practically engaged.

185
00:11:03.039 --> 00:11:06.039
So you see that I'll stack a media up against

186
00:11:06.080 --> 00:11:07.320
any woman in the world.

187
00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:10.399
I tell you it won't work. You're so blinded by

188
00:11:10.440 --> 00:11:13.879
your need for revenge you can't see it. You I'm protecting.

189
00:11:14.159 --> 00:11:18.360
It's interesting. I'll justify that Ord knows what you've created, Arthur.

190
00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:22.039
I'm still in shock. But you think you've made the

191
00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:26.240
perfect woman, a creature of real flesh and blood, when,

192
00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:32.519
as you so graphically demonstrated, Amelia has no blood. And

193
00:11:32.679 --> 00:11:35.759
what do you think will happen when that fact is

194
00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:43.679
inevitably discovered. At the time, I thought I'd won the

195
00:11:43.799 --> 00:11:47.799
argument with my friend, doctor Arthur Moore, But I underestimated

196
00:11:47.840 --> 00:11:51.000
the depth of the passion that drove this brilliant scientist

197
00:11:51.879 --> 00:11:56.120
I'd also underestimated his genius. I'll admit I saw much

198
00:11:56.200 --> 00:11:59.320
less of Arthur than before, because I never again could

199
00:11:59.360 --> 00:12:03.519
feel it easy with the woman, the thing called Amelia.

200
00:12:04.639 --> 00:12:07.919
But a month or so after our conversation, he called

201
00:12:07.960 --> 00:12:08.759
and asked me over.

202
00:12:10.039 --> 00:12:12.879
I appreciate your coming in such short notice, Gerald, but

203
00:12:12.919 --> 00:12:14.120
I promised to make it interesting.

204
00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:15.879
You remember a media, of course?

205
00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:19.240
Of course, how are you Amelia flourishing?

206
00:12:19.320 --> 00:12:21.639
Thank you, Jerald. It's so nice to see you again.

207
00:12:21.960 --> 00:12:22.200
Arthur.

208
00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:25.360
I know you don't feel entirely at ease with the media,

209
00:12:25.399 --> 00:12:28.200
but I assure you her presence is necessary.

210
00:12:28.440 --> 00:12:29.240
Come here, my dear.

211
00:12:29.679 --> 00:12:34.240
Yes, you remember, Gerald, you made a very cogent point

212
00:12:34.240 --> 00:12:36.919
the last time we discussed the makeup of our charming

213
00:12:36.960 --> 00:12:37.759
the media.

214
00:12:38.240 --> 00:12:40.960
I believe it had to do with blood. And now

215
00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:44.440
I'm taking this needle. And I really objected these demonstrations.

216
00:12:44.480 --> 00:12:47.320
Say they leave me feeling decidedly the possession.

217
00:12:47.399 --> 00:12:51.120
You're uncommonly queasy. I assure you it won't hurt a

218
00:12:51.200 --> 00:12:54.879
media in the slightest. No, I take the needle so

219
00:12:56.240 --> 00:13:01.399
and behold, bright ruby red blood naturally flows.

220
00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:04.639
God Lord, Arthur, what have you done?

221
00:13:04.759 --> 00:13:08.679
You eliminated the last obstacle standing between a media and

222
00:13:08.799 --> 00:13:10.480
her introduction to Wilkeson.

223
00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:13.480
Go put a bandage on that. My dear jar and

224
00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:19.000
I have to talk, will uncle? Is that real blood? Certainly?

225
00:13:19.799 --> 00:13:21.799
Would you care to take a sample for testing?

226
00:13:22.039 --> 00:13:25.440
Nah, take your word for it. How in Heaven's name

227
00:13:25.519 --> 00:13:26.120
did you do it?

228
00:13:26.399 --> 00:13:28.200
I'll make a bargain with you.

229
00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:31.879
You promise to introduce a media to Wilkeson and I'll

230
00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:32.879
tell you how it works.

231
00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:35.919
I've told you, Arthur, I don't want any part of this.

232
00:13:36.639 --> 00:13:40.919
Wilkson's engaged, It's definite. He gave me a ring and

233
00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:42.799
the date for their wedding will be announced any day.

234
00:13:42.840 --> 00:13:43.039
Now.

235
00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:45.799
What's an engagement or even a marriage to a man

236
00:13:45.960 --> 00:13:46.679
like Wilkinson.

237
00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:49.039
The minute he sees a media, he's SOPs.

238
00:13:49.120 --> 00:13:51.279
I tell him the truth. I'm going to ask you

239
00:13:51.399 --> 00:13:54.000
not to What I revealed to you was given in

240
00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:56.639
confidence to save you from humiliation.

241
00:13:57.360 --> 00:13:59.519
You at least owe me the favor of keeping.

242
00:13:59.360 --> 00:14:01.679
Quiet this deception.

243
00:14:01.879 --> 00:14:04.240
Would you owe Wilkerson nothing?

244
00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:07.440
And if he's really sincerely in love with his need

245
00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:10.080
a raven, he won't do anything about the media.

246
00:14:10.879 --> 00:14:13.679
But if he does, doesn't he deserve to be taught

247
00:14:13.720 --> 00:14:14.200
a lesson.

248
00:14:15.159 --> 00:14:18.080
I want your solemn promise that you keep this a

249
00:14:18.159 --> 00:14:30.320
secret between us. Well, all right, I promise. It's so

250
00:14:30.399 --> 00:14:32.679
easy to look back on things you've done and say

251
00:14:32.679 --> 00:14:36.399
you shouldn't have done them. But at the time it

252
00:14:36.440 --> 00:14:38.639
didn't seem that too much harm could come from this

253
00:14:39.080 --> 00:14:42.279
mad scheme. I also thought that Arthur would have some

254
00:14:42.440 --> 00:14:46.360
difficulty in arranging a meeting between Amelia and wilkeson. I

255
00:14:46.360 --> 00:14:49.039
found out quickly I was wrong. We live in a

256
00:14:49.159 --> 00:14:53.240
university town. The university has a large and extensive library,

257
00:14:53.799 --> 00:14:56.600
but there's also a smaller private library reserved for the

258
00:14:56.679 --> 00:15:02.399
use of a small group of scientists that Wilkerson first saw.

259
00:15:02.759 --> 00:15:05.159
Amelia, now tell.

260
00:15:04.919 --> 00:15:07.639
Me what a beautiful young lady like you wants with

261
00:15:07.799 --> 00:15:11.559
that complex scientific treatise you have there. You must have

262
00:15:11.559 --> 00:15:12.840
brains equally of beauty.

263
00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:15.639
Thank you for the compliment. But I am taking this

264
00:15:15.679 --> 00:15:21.559
book from my uncle, Professor Moore. Professor Moore, my boss. Really.

265
00:15:21.679 --> 00:15:24.120
Oh yes, if we work together on a project some

266
00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:28.399
ten years ago, I'll let me introduce myself. I'm Harry Wilkerson.

267
00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:29.480
And I'm Amelia Burke.

268
00:15:30.600 --> 00:15:32.720
You left something down.

269
00:15:32.279 --> 00:15:34.080
I don't think so, and add you do?

270
00:15:34.879 --> 00:15:38.159
You should say the beautiful No, no, no, no, the

271
00:15:38.519 --> 00:15:39.799
ravishing Amelia Burke.

272
00:15:40.159 --> 00:15:46.159
I'm afraid you're an incorrigible flatterer, mister Professor Wilkerson Harry,

273
00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:48.279
and I'm Amelia, Amelia.

274
00:15:49.639 --> 00:15:50.960
I need your help.

275
00:15:51.919 --> 00:15:52.639
I beg your pardon.

276
00:15:52.679 --> 00:15:56.879
I desperately need help. I absolutely must have some refreshment

277
00:15:57.000 --> 00:16:02.120
and some female companionship, or or I shall open my

278
00:16:02.200 --> 00:16:05.840
mouth and scream and be barred from this labrary forever.

279
00:16:06.039 --> 00:16:09.600
We certainly can't let that happen, can we, Harry.

280
00:16:14.559 --> 00:16:18.440
Men have died, and worms have eaten them, but not

281
00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:22.720
for love, said William Shakespeare, and he was the greatest. However,

282
00:16:22.759 --> 00:16:24.799
there have been a number of very fine writers who've

283
00:16:24.799 --> 00:16:28.200
written stories about gallant men who have died for love

284
00:16:28.360 --> 00:16:31.519
of a woman, but none that I know of, who

285
00:16:31.519 --> 00:16:36.159
have perished for a robot, at least not yet. I'll

286
00:16:36.200 --> 00:16:50.960
be back shortly with that too. Fam fatale abound in

287
00:16:51.159 --> 00:16:54.279
history and literature. They all have one thing in common.

288
00:16:54.840 --> 00:16:58.320
They possess a strange appeal which leads men to follow

289
00:16:58.399 --> 00:17:02.639
their sirens song down the path to destruction. They also

290
00:17:02.679 --> 00:17:07.279
share another characteristic. They are human, Unlike Amelia Burke, who

291
00:17:07.319 --> 00:17:11.039
is a robot created for the express purpose of ensnaring

292
00:17:11.119 --> 00:17:18.920
one man, and she seems to be succeeding. Who is Avilia?

293
00:17:19.680 --> 00:17:20.200
What is she?

294
00:17:21.160 --> 00:17:26.640
I'm a woman, Harry, really, a very simple, predictable woman.

295
00:17:26.759 --> 00:17:30.480
Oh, let me contradict you as a man who's not

296
00:17:30.559 --> 00:17:33.920
inexperienced when it comes to women. Allow me to say

297
00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:38.680
that you're completely unpredictable and almost unknowable.

298
00:17:38.960 --> 00:17:41.240
If you're trying to confuse me, you're succeeding.

299
00:17:42.000 --> 00:17:44.079
All I know about you is that you're the most

300
00:17:44.160 --> 00:17:47.279
beautiful and charming woman I've ever met.

301
00:17:47.440 --> 00:17:50.039
Thank you, But who are you really?

302
00:17:51.400 --> 00:17:54.880
Who are your parents? Why did you suddenly appear on

303
00:17:54.920 --> 00:17:57.319
the scene to live with your uncle who never mentioned

304
00:17:57.319 --> 00:17:58.240
you all these years?

305
00:17:58.400 --> 00:18:00.720
I thought women were a cure sex.

306
00:18:02.880 --> 00:18:06.079
Oh, you're unbelievable. We've been see each other for two

307
00:18:06.119 --> 00:18:09.240
weeks and you've never asked whether I was married or

308
00:18:09.279 --> 00:18:10.160
even engaged.

309
00:18:10.640 --> 00:18:11.559
Not a single question.

310
00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:13.920
Why we always meet in these little out of the

311
00:18:13.920 --> 00:18:14.559
way places.

312
00:18:14.640 --> 00:18:17.640
The important thing to me is that we're together.

313
00:18:19.079 --> 00:18:22.359
I couldn't have said that better myself. But don't you

314
00:18:22.440 --> 00:18:25.920
sometimes long for all little more privacy?

315
00:18:26.240 --> 00:18:27.200
That might be nice?

316
00:18:27.960 --> 00:18:29.799
I think that you might feel that way. So I

317
00:18:29.880 --> 00:18:32.079
spoke with a good friend of mine, a fellow who

318
00:18:32.079 --> 00:18:35.400
can keep his mouth shut, and I've arranged for us

319
00:18:35.440 --> 00:18:38.200
to have the use of his apartment this Friday afternoon.

320
00:18:39.160 --> 00:18:42.119
He's going out of town for the weekend. How does

321
00:18:42.160 --> 00:18:42.839
that sound to you?

322
00:18:43.680 --> 00:18:50.319
Like everything else you say, Harry, very nice?

323
00:18:51.440 --> 00:18:55.799
Oh me, my darling, you're wonderful, just magnificent.

324
00:18:56.039 --> 00:18:56.880
Thank you uncle.

325
00:18:57.279 --> 00:19:00.279
Well, I think we ought to recheck your program for

326
00:19:00.319 --> 00:19:02.359
the big date you have coming up on Friday.

327
00:19:03.400 --> 00:19:05.960
Who the devil is there? Just sit there at media.

328
00:19:05.960 --> 00:19:11.279
I'll get rid of whoever it is. Gerald.

329
00:19:11.640 --> 00:19:13.920
There's a pleasure to see you, but you've really come

330
00:19:13.960 --> 00:19:14.359
in a time.

331
00:19:14.559 --> 00:19:17.319
Sorry if I've interrupted anything. It's important that we talk.

332
00:19:17.559 --> 00:19:18.880
Important to whom to you.

333
00:19:20.319 --> 00:19:23.160
Oh, there's thing with Wilkerson has gone far enough out there.

334
00:19:23.400 --> 00:19:24.880
As a matter of fact, it's gone too far.

335
00:19:24.960 --> 00:19:26.640
Well, that all depends on the point of view.

336
00:19:26.680 --> 00:19:26.759
Now.

337
00:19:26.799 --> 00:19:28.880
I'm not here to argue. I'm here to tell you

338
00:19:28.920 --> 00:19:30.279
author that you must stop it.

339
00:19:30.400 --> 00:19:30.720
Now.

340
00:19:31.119 --> 00:19:34.240
Well, we don't like that very much, do we, your media?

341
00:19:34.440 --> 00:19:37.599
No, unless you stop, I tend to tell Wilkes in

342
00:19:37.599 --> 00:19:38.279
the Truth.

343
00:19:38.079 --> 00:19:39.519
Come down a minute, will you.

344
00:19:39.559 --> 00:19:41.759
I don't want to hear any of your pseudo rational.

345
00:19:41.559 --> 00:19:44.759
Errol if a me and you were a real, as

346
00:19:44.799 --> 00:19:46.960
you put it once, flesh and blood woman.

347
00:19:47.000 --> 00:19:47.920
Would you interfere?

348
00:19:48.920 --> 00:19:50.240
Come on? Answer? Will you?

349
00:19:50.400 --> 00:19:52.599
I refuse to answer any hypothetical questions.

350
00:19:52.759 --> 00:19:56.359
I'll answer for you. You wouldn't and why wouldn't you hurt?

351
00:19:56.480 --> 00:19:58.119
I've already because it.

352
00:19:57.960 --> 00:20:00.000
Wouldn't be any of your busines.

353
00:20:01.039 --> 00:20:02.079
But just because a.

354
00:20:02.079 --> 00:20:04.240
Media is something out of the ordinary.

355
00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:07.480
You consider it your duty to warn Wilkinson, or better,

356
00:20:07.519 --> 00:20:09.480
to make him aware of what a media is.

357
00:20:09.759 --> 00:20:12.079
I intend to tell him. If that's what you mean,

358
00:20:12.759 --> 00:20:13.960
believe me either, I'll do it.

359
00:20:14.079 --> 00:20:18.400
I believe you, even though you're breaking a solemn promise.

360
00:20:19.640 --> 00:20:21.039
But have you ever thought of.

361
00:20:21.039 --> 00:20:24.359
What Wilkeson will think of you when you come to

362
00:20:24.400 --> 00:20:27.519
him with this preposterous, incredible story.

363
00:20:28.119 --> 00:20:30.759
I'll make him believe me, you know better.

364
00:20:31.240 --> 00:20:34.519
And once more, I'll see to it that Wilkinson will

365
00:20:34.559 --> 00:20:37.680
think you are jealous, that you want a media for yourself.

366
00:20:43.359 --> 00:20:45.920
When I left, I knew that it was a stalemate.

367
00:20:46.720 --> 00:20:50.599
Either was right, Wilkinson would never believe me. But I

368
00:20:50.680 --> 00:20:55.960
was determined to do something. The problem was what. When

369
00:20:56.000 --> 00:20:59.200
I was racking my brains for a solution, Amelia was

370
00:20:59.279 --> 00:21:04.079
pushing ahead as programmed Emelia, why did you call and

371
00:21:04.160 --> 00:21:05.160
have me meet you here?

372
00:21:05.640 --> 00:21:08.880
Isn't this a good place out of the way and discreen?

373
00:21:08.960 --> 00:21:11.480
No, that's not what I meant. We had an appoint.

374
00:21:11.160 --> 00:21:14.359
Put it down, Harry. I think we have a lot

375
00:21:14.400 --> 00:21:14.960
to talk about.

376
00:21:15.039 --> 00:21:17.119
Whatever you have to say could be said better.

377
00:21:17.079 --> 00:21:19.839
The per I'm sure you think so, Harry.

378
00:21:20.240 --> 00:21:22.920
You've changed. What is it?

379
00:21:22.920 --> 00:21:25.960
Has something happened? How is your fiancee? Her name is

380
00:21:26.039 --> 00:21:32.359
Nita Raven? If I am not mistaken, Oh well, I

381
00:21:32.440 --> 00:21:33.680
knew it had to happen sometime.

382
00:21:33.759 --> 00:21:34.759
It was too good to line.

383
00:21:34.799 --> 00:21:36.960
Now you understand why I didn't come to the apartment

384
00:21:37.240 --> 00:21:40.039
and why I won't go to the apartment. I didn't

385
00:21:40.079 --> 00:21:41.200
know you were engaged.

386
00:21:42.000 --> 00:21:47.319
I am, and her name is Nita Raven. But that

387
00:21:47.400 --> 00:21:52.400
doesn't mean I'm not interested in other women, particularly someone's

388
00:21:52.400 --> 00:21:53.319
fascinating as you.

389
00:21:53.599 --> 00:21:54.799
Does Nita know about me?

390
00:21:55.039 --> 00:21:55.559
Of course not.

391
00:21:55.799 --> 00:21:58.079
But it's all right for me to know about Nita.

392
00:21:58.400 --> 00:22:02.799
I didn't tell you about her, not those you're too

393
00:22:02.799 --> 00:22:05.839
important to me. I was afraid that what's happening right

394
00:22:05.920 --> 00:22:07.559
now would have happened much sooner.

395
00:22:07.799 --> 00:22:10.000
Nothing's happening, Yes, that's what I mean?

396
00:22:11.839 --> 00:22:12.079
Or me?

397
00:22:12.279 --> 00:22:16.640
If we're two adults. You like me, now, don't try

398
00:22:16.680 --> 00:22:18.599
to deny it. I see it in your eyes, the

399
00:22:18.640 --> 00:22:24.759
way you talk to me, and I am crazy about you. Now,

400
00:22:24.839 --> 00:22:27.480
let's forget about everything else. Get over the bomb's apartment.

401
00:22:27.640 --> 00:22:30.039
You make it sound so simple. That's because it is.

402
00:22:30.240 --> 00:22:34.400
You belong to someone else. No one belongs to anyone else.

403
00:22:36.079 --> 00:22:38.319
Have you ever discussed that with Nita?

404
00:22:38.519 --> 00:22:42.079
Certainly she knows, and when we get married, we both

405
00:22:42.279 --> 00:22:46.319
don't stop living. She knows. I'm not going to stop

406
00:22:46.359 --> 00:22:49.680
admiring beautiful women simply because I'm married.

407
00:22:49.759 --> 00:22:52.319
You may admire me to your heart's content, and you

408
00:22:52.319 --> 00:22:55.599
can do that here just as well as in your

409
00:22:55.640 --> 00:22:56.920
friend's apartment.

410
00:23:04.279 --> 00:23:06.960
Hello, may I speak with a mania?

411
00:23:07.039 --> 00:23:07.400
Please?

412
00:23:08.000 --> 00:23:08.640
Who's calling?

413
00:23:09.440 --> 00:23:15.359
Harry Wilkinson. Oh, Harry, I'm sorry, but you don't more.

414
00:23:16.200 --> 00:23:19.400
Please forgive me. We've had our problems in the past,

415
00:23:19.480 --> 00:23:22.960
but I'm going to ask you for a favor. Please

416
00:23:23.240 --> 00:23:24.640
get her to come to the phone.

417
00:23:25.240 --> 00:23:26.200
Harry.

418
00:23:26.519 --> 00:23:29.799
I really don't want to interfere with my niece's life,

419
00:23:30.160 --> 00:23:32.200
and I also don't have that much influence.

420
00:23:32.359 --> 00:23:35.359
What can that be? I just want to speak with her.

421
00:23:35.799 --> 00:23:36.640
All right, Harry.

422
00:23:37.200 --> 00:23:40.119
I don't promise anything, but I'll see what I can do.

423
00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:42.559
Go back in ten.

424
00:23:42.400 --> 00:23:48.119
Minutes when he calls the media, agreed to meet him,

425
00:23:48.640 --> 00:23:51.279
and we'll proceed as planned.

426
00:23:57.440 --> 00:23:59.480
I mean, yeah, I hope you notice where we're meeting.

427
00:24:00.119 --> 00:24:04.240
Nice a pleasant change. You haven't thanked me for coming.

428
00:24:06.759 --> 00:24:10.680
Ah, here's something else you really are? You refuse even

429
00:24:10.680 --> 00:24:13.039
to speak to me for three weeks and then I

430
00:24:13.039 --> 00:24:17.079
finally get your uncle to bring you to the phone. Well, look,

431
00:24:17.759 --> 00:24:19.359
I've broken my engagement to Nita.

432
00:24:20.880 --> 00:24:21.720
Poor Harry.

433
00:24:22.680 --> 00:24:25.319
I don't want your sympathy. I want your love.

434
00:24:25.559 --> 00:24:27.039
My love has to be earned.

435
00:24:28.079 --> 00:24:30.640
Don't you think I've earned it these past three weeks.

436
00:24:30.680 --> 00:24:32.559
I did everything I could to put you out of

437
00:24:32.559 --> 00:24:33.839
my mind, and look what happened.

438
00:24:34.119 --> 00:24:34.720
I don't know.

439
00:24:35.960 --> 00:24:38.799
Oh, I've been driving to my laboratory and see a

440
00:24:38.880 --> 00:24:43.319
blonde head and a taxicab for another car. Well, I

441
00:24:43.319 --> 00:24:45.079
couldn't wait to pass the car to make sure that

442
00:24:45.119 --> 00:24:47.920
it wasn't you. Do you know how many times I

443
00:24:48.039 --> 00:24:50.240
run across the street because I thought I caught sight

444
00:24:50.279 --> 00:24:51.160
of you on the other side.

445
00:24:51.279 --> 00:24:56.200
You sound angry, Well I am. It's never happened to

446
00:24:56.240 --> 00:24:57.720
me before, not even with Nita.

447
00:24:58.079 --> 00:24:58.920
Let's forget about me.

448
00:24:59.039 --> 00:25:00.599
To Shane, how did she take the news when you

449
00:25:00.680 --> 00:25:02.359
told her the engagement was off.

450
00:25:02.559 --> 00:25:04.759
I did not come here to talk about Nita. I'm

451
00:25:04.799 --> 00:25:07.200
here to tell you that we're having dinner every night

452
00:25:07.279 --> 00:25:09.960
this week, and that we're spending the weekend at Lake Ferris.

453
00:25:11.240 --> 00:25:13.200
We're invited by some friends of mine who are anxious

454
00:25:13.200 --> 00:25:13.640
to meet you.

455
00:25:13.799 --> 00:25:15.319
I have plans for the weekend.

456
00:25:15.440 --> 00:25:16.079
Cancel them.

457
00:25:16.119 --> 00:25:17.200
I'm afraid I can't.

458
00:25:17.960 --> 00:25:20.279
Oh really, I can break an engagement, but you can't

459
00:25:20.319 --> 00:25:21.559
even change an appointment.

460
00:25:21.599 --> 00:25:23.799
You seem to be under the impression that I asked

461
00:25:23.839 --> 00:25:25.119
you to break your engagement.

462
00:25:25.160 --> 00:25:26.960
Look, I think it's time we level with each other.

463
00:25:27.720 --> 00:25:30.359
You never asked me to break my engagement, but you

464
00:25:30.440 --> 00:25:32.720
made it perfectly clear that the only way we could

465
00:25:32.720 --> 00:25:34.839
have any relationship was if I gave up Nita.

466
00:25:36.160 --> 00:25:37.960
I was honest with you about my feelings.

467
00:25:38.000 --> 00:25:42.359
You can't fool me about yours. I know you're attracted

468
00:25:42.400 --> 00:25:45.160
to me. Are you going to deny that?

469
00:25:46.240 --> 00:25:46.319
No?

470
00:25:47.480 --> 00:25:50.319
I am attracted all right now.

471
00:25:50.240 --> 00:25:55.240
I'm making progress. I've broken a commitment, and I expect

472
00:25:55.319 --> 00:25:56.480
you to break Why do.

473
00:25:56.559 --> 00:25:59.920
You make this sound like a business deal. I thought

474
00:26:00.079 --> 00:26:01.240
you were more romantic.

475
00:26:01.880 --> 00:26:05.519
Well, I'm upset. I never felt this way about any

476
00:26:05.559 --> 00:26:08.039
woman in my life and at the one at the

477
00:26:08.079 --> 00:26:11.839
same time, there's there's something about you that bothers me.

478
00:26:12.079 --> 00:26:17.359
I think you made a mistake. What you've changed. When

479
00:26:17.359 --> 00:26:20.160
we first met, you were relaxed and happy. You made

480
00:26:20.160 --> 00:26:22.440
it clear you liked me, and you hoped I would

481
00:26:22.519 --> 00:26:27.359
like you. I did. Now you're a different man, up tight,

482
00:26:27.640 --> 00:26:33.599
grim distracted. I think you feel guilty about breaking your engagement,

483
00:26:34.119 --> 00:26:38.519
and if you do, there's no future for us. Oh no,

484
00:26:38.759 --> 00:26:42.160
we want you for the lunch. Think about what I said, Harry,

485
00:26:42.519 --> 00:27:05.119
and then call me. I promise I'll answer the phone.

486
00:26:57.119 --> 00:27:00.200
For someone so hung up on romance. You don't. It's

487
00:27:00.279 --> 00:27:00.839
very close.

488
00:27:01.599 --> 00:27:05.279
I'm sorry. Dancing isn't my strong point. I only know

489
00:27:05.400 --> 00:27:07.400
how to waltz and fox trot.

490
00:27:09.319 --> 00:27:11.920
I would have thought you'd been the queen of disco

491
00:27:11.960 --> 00:27:12.440
in college.

492
00:27:12.480 --> 00:27:13.599
Would you have liked me better?

493
00:27:14.640 --> 00:27:17.200
It's impossible for me to love you anymore than I do. Now?

494
00:27:18.400 --> 00:27:19.519
Shall we go back to the table?

495
00:27:20.319 --> 00:27:21.079
Oh as you like?

496
00:27:21.880 --> 00:27:24.799
The verses were disappointed they didn't meet you the other weekend.

497
00:27:24.920 --> 00:27:25.839
Calliman, flattered.

498
00:27:27.400 --> 00:27:28.519
I have a surprise for you.

499
00:27:29.039 --> 00:27:30.839
I love surprises. What is it?

500
00:27:31.559 --> 00:27:31.759
Yeah?

501
00:27:32.880 --> 00:27:33.640
Open this box?

502
00:27:33.759 --> 00:27:38.519
Oh, it looks like a ring. Is it open the box?

503
00:27:41.000 --> 00:27:41.279
Well?

504
00:27:42.680 --> 00:27:45.319
Do you like it?

505
00:27:45.319 --> 00:27:51.519
It's very nice, very nice. That's an engagement ring. I'm

506
00:27:51.559 --> 00:27:55.720
asking you to marry me. I realize, and so I

507
00:27:55.759 --> 00:28:00.119
didn't have to say I realize. I'll bet I more

508
00:28:00.160 --> 00:28:01.160
reaction from a robot.

509
00:28:01.160 --> 00:28:04.680
Would you ever say anything like that? Never, it's disgusting.

510
00:28:05.640 --> 00:28:11.000
Well well, well, well, well a reaction at last. You

511
00:28:11.000 --> 00:28:12.000
You are exquisite.

512
00:28:12.039 --> 00:28:14.200
Promise me you'll never use that word adamn?

513
00:28:14.400 --> 00:28:16.160
What's strong with the experts?

514
00:28:16.160 --> 00:28:18.240
Nothing to joke about? You know the word? I mean,

515
00:28:21.400 --> 00:28:22.160
I can think.

516
00:28:22.000 --> 00:28:24.119
Of a lot of words some ladies might object to.

517
00:28:24.160 --> 00:28:27.880
But sorry, all right, all right, she will never pass

518
00:28:27.920 --> 00:28:30.839
my lips again. Now I slip on the ring. We'll

519
00:28:30.839 --> 00:28:32.240
steal our engagement with the kids.

520
00:28:32.400 --> 00:28:35.640
Hy I know you're going to think this is sorry,

521
00:28:35.640 --> 00:28:39.920
but this isn't the ring I.

522
00:28:39.960 --> 00:28:44.759
Wanted, Darling, if you knew how long I search.

523
00:28:44.640 --> 00:28:50.640
Beautiful, but call me sentimental. The ring I want is

524
00:28:50.680 --> 00:28:51.839
the one you gave Nita.

525
00:28:53.400 --> 00:28:56.440
Oh, come on, a media, Anita's out of my life.

526
00:28:56.480 --> 00:28:58.160
I'm not going to ask for the ring back.

527
00:28:58.200 --> 00:29:01.079
If she had any pride, she'd give it that well,

528
00:29:01.160 --> 00:29:01.599
forget it.

529
00:29:02.680 --> 00:29:04.839
I'll get you any ring you want, except that.

530
00:29:04.880 --> 00:29:08.480
That's the only way I'll really feel sure of your love.

531
00:29:09.480 --> 00:29:16.400
I want the ring that Nita has. Otherwise we're not engaged.

532
00:29:20.720 --> 00:29:23.960
A famous poet, commenting on the human race, wrote, the

533
00:29:24.039 --> 00:29:28.400
female of the species is deadlier than the male. I

534
00:29:28.400 --> 00:29:31.440
don't think anyone can question that some form of robot

535
00:29:31.799 --> 00:29:34.960
is a definite part of man's future. But are we

536
00:29:35.079 --> 00:29:39.079
going to have to apply the same yardstick to the automatons.

537
00:29:40.119 --> 00:29:42.000
We should have the answer when I returned with the

538
00:29:42.039 --> 00:29:49.400
final act of lifeblood shortly. Have you ever wished your

539
00:29:49.400 --> 00:29:52.400
bank would pay you interest on your checking account? Wouldn't

540
00:29:52.440 --> 00:29:56.200
it only seem fair? Wed Otero Savings think so. That's

541
00:29:56.200 --> 00:29:59.160
why we're offering the check in account. It's better than

542
00:29:59.240 --> 00:30:02.880
checking because you get five and quarter percent interest. At Otero.

543
00:30:02.960 --> 00:30:06.000
You get the best of both the interest earning capability

544
00:30:06.039 --> 00:30:08.720
of a savings account with the complete flexibility of a

545
00:30:08.799 --> 00:30:13.599
checking account. The Otero checking account from Otaro Savings member

546
00:30:13.720 --> 00:30:14.839
f slice.

547
00:30:17.240 --> 00:30:18.559
You miss Jimmy's Birthday part?

548
00:30:18.640 --> 00:30:20.680
I was with a client and I sent Jimmy's your

549
00:30:20.839 --> 00:30:21.759
child's only.

550
00:30:21.519 --> 00:30:23.319
Gonna have one drink. I didn't mind.

551
00:30:23.480 --> 00:30:26.000
No, you never mean to, but I've had it Mary,

552
00:30:26.079 --> 00:30:27.279
you quit drinking or I'm late?

553
00:30:27.839 --> 00:30:31.119
Please sound familiar. That was a scene from my life.

554
00:30:31.279 --> 00:30:33.720
My wife thought I had a drinking problem. I didn't,

555
00:30:33.720 --> 00:30:35.880
but I was scared. I wasn't in control, and I

556
00:30:35.920 --> 00:30:38.359
didn't want to lose my family. We went to the

557
00:30:38.400 --> 00:30:42.039
recovery center. We worked together and solved our problems. Life

558
00:30:42.079 --> 00:30:44.880
can be good again. Call the Recovery Center eight two

559
00:30:44.880 --> 00:30:47.200
five four nine five one The Recovery Center.

560
00:30:51.960 --> 00:31:02.519
And perfection is the goal of many driven people.

561
00:31:03.079 --> 00:31:07.519
The fact is that absolute perfection is unattainable. It should

562
00:31:07.519 --> 00:31:10.920
be because if you stop to consider, life with a

563
00:31:10.920 --> 00:31:14.559
perfect man or a woman would be rather formidable. Harry

564
00:31:14.559 --> 00:31:17.880
Wilkson doesn't think so. He's fallen in love with a

565
00:31:17.920 --> 00:31:21.920
perfect woman, a media burke. He's unaware that Amdia is

566
00:31:21.960 --> 00:31:24.960
a robot, the creation of a genius who holds a

567
00:31:25.000 --> 00:31:28.160
long standing grudge against him and who's determined to use

568
00:31:28.200 --> 00:31:31.519
a media to extract a terrible revenge.

569
00:31:32.119 --> 00:31:34.599
I thank you for the invitation, Gerald, but I'll.

570
00:31:34.400 --> 00:31:35.279
Never die out.

571
00:31:35.440 --> 00:31:38.400
I thought you might make an exception, Professor. The dinner

572
00:31:38.440 --> 00:31:40.880
is an occasion for me to congratulate you upon the

573
00:31:40.920 --> 00:31:43.720
success of your stratagem to even the score with Wilkeson.

574
00:31:44.000 --> 00:31:48.920
I think your congratulations are a trifle premature. Really, Wilkson's

575
00:31:48.920 --> 00:31:51.839
broke off his engagement Anita. He's a man driven almost

576
00:31:51.839 --> 00:31:54.799
to the point of distraction. He's on such a short

577
00:31:54.880 --> 00:31:57.240
view that his colleagues object to working with him.

578
00:31:57.480 --> 00:31:59.920
What more do you want? I want him to have

579
00:32:00.119 --> 00:32:01.640
of the final gift.

580
00:32:01.680 --> 00:32:04.119
The thing he wants more than anything in the world.

581
00:32:04.599 --> 00:32:06.880
I want to see him married to a media.

582
00:32:07.319 --> 00:32:09.720
But he hasn't seen or spoken with a media in

583
00:32:09.799 --> 00:32:12.000
a month, and she's seeing other men.

584
00:32:12.319 --> 00:32:14.000
You seem well informed.

585
00:32:14.359 --> 00:32:17.799
Have you talked with Werkerson, Yes, but not about Amelia.

586
00:32:18.359 --> 00:32:20.119
She's a subject he refuses to discuss.

587
00:32:20.279 --> 00:32:20.799
I've tried.

588
00:32:21.279 --> 00:32:24.359
I don't understand this sudden revival of interest in the

589
00:32:24.400 --> 00:32:25.359
media on your part.

590
00:32:25.559 --> 00:32:29.200
Art You produced a robot so perfect that she can

591
00:32:29.240 --> 00:32:34.359
pass as a woman. Now that's a scientific miracle. I'm

592
00:32:34.359 --> 00:32:38.440
your best friend, yet I haven't the slightest idea of

593
00:32:38.480 --> 00:32:43.160
how you did it In my position, wouldn't you be curious?

594
00:32:43.319 --> 00:32:47.440
Now this is my life work. You're a physician. Quite frankly,

595
00:32:47.480 --> 00:32:51.119
the process is so complicated it would take weeks for

596
00:32:51.240 --> 00:32:55.559
me to explain the various intricate and even dangerous steps.

597
00:32:55.200 --> 00:32:57.079
I use to create the finished product.

598
00:32:57.240 --> 00:33:00.960
Well, couldn't just simplify parts of it? For I'm I'm

599
00:33:01.000 --> 00:33:03.039
not asking you to devose the secret of how you

600
00:33:03.160 --> 00:33:07.039
simulated the marvelous skin on. How you solve the problem

601
00:33:07.079 --> 00:33:09.519
of the blood that seems to course through her veins?

602
00:33:10.240 --> 00:33:14.599
But her responses are what fascinates me. How do you

603
00:33:14.680 --> 00:33:17.359
program her so that her answers to questions follow a

604
00:33:17.440 --> 00:33:22.160
logical train of thought. I'll give you a hit gerald stimuli.

605
00:33:23.160 --> 00:33:27.680
Everything in nature responds to certain stimuli, and they in

606
00:33:27.720 --> 00:33:32.960
turn trigger other responses. That's logical, but vague, and that's

607
00:33:33.039 --> 00:33:37.079
the way I intend for it to remain. I'm opposed

608
00:33:37.079 --> 00:33:40.319
to the deception you're practicing. It isn't only Wilkerson who

609
00:33:40.319 --> 00:33:44.640
has fallen under the spell of this mindless robot, but

610
00:33:44.799 --> 00:33:46.160
now she's deceiving others.

611
00:33:46.680 --> 00:33:50.000
That is why that fools all of them. And that's

612
00:33:50.079 --> 00:33:51.960
exactly the point I'm going to prove.

613
00:33:52.839 --> 00:34:02.079
That's how I'll get my satisfaction. Of course, Arthur was right.

614
00:34:03.119 --> 00:34:06.400
After long hours considering how I could expose Amelia as

615
00:34:06.400 --> 00:34:09.760
a robot, I hit upon the idea that the weakness

616
00:34:09.880 --> 00:34:13.760
was Amelia herself. Because of my own experience with her,

617
00:34:14.239 --> 00:34:16.760
I had some understanding of how she had been programmed.

618
00:34:17.679 --> 00:34:20.320
I felt that perhaps I could disturb her pattern enough

619
00:34:20.320 --> 00:34:24.320
to expose her. But I had to get her alone,

620
00:34:24.559 --> 00:34:28.000
and Arthur rarely went out. He monitored her phone calls,

621
00:34:28.559 --> 00:34:30.920
but I knew he would attend an important lecture on

622
00:34:31.079 --> 00:34:35.480
DNA and cloning the following night, so I called and

623
00:34:35.599 --> 00:34:36.880
got her permission to visit.

624
00:34:37.440 --> 00:34:39.880
It's so nice to see you again, Gerald. Have you

625
00:34:39.960 --> 00:34:40.360
missed me?

626
00:34:40.599 --> 00:34:43.679
How could I not miss such an interesting person as you, Amelia?

627
00:34:43.920 --> 00:34:46.599
You're much more interesting than I did.

628
00:34:46.639 --> 00:34:50.199
Your uncle tell you to say that my uncle, Amelia,

629
00:34:50.920 --> 00:34:54.159
I know who you are, or rather what you are?

630
00:34:54.360 --> 00:34:57.320
Of course you do. Your uncle Arthur's dearest friend. How

631
00:34:57.360 --> 00:34:59.559
do you know that the way I know everything else?

632
00:34:59.639 --> 00:35:04.239
I yes know it. Well, what do you and your

633
00:35:04.320 --> 00:35:06.840
uncle talk about? Can't we talk about us?

634
00:35:07.000 --> 00:35:09.960
We can, but I'd rather have you tell me what

635
00:35:10.039 --> 00:35:11.360
you and your uncle talk about.

636
00:35:12.679 --> 00:35:15.480
We don't talk about much.

637
00:35:16.079 --> 00:35:17.320
Are you fond of your uncle?

638
00:35:17.440 --> 00:35:19.119
I love him, I owe him everything.

639
00:35:19.760 --> 00:35:21.480
What do you do when you're alone with him?

640
00:35:22.840 --> 00:35:25.519
Mostly we listen to records?

641
00:35:26.000 --> 00:35:27.360
What kind of records?

642
00:35:27.559 --> 00:35:28.800
All kinds of music?

643
00:35:29.000 --> 00:35:29.280
Talk?

644
00:35:29.679 --> 00:35:32.280
Oh, lots of talking records. That's how I learned to

645
00:35:32.400 --> 00:35:38.159
dance talk or music both. That's how you learn everything, man,

646
00:35:38.800 --> 00:35:41.719
through records. I beg your pardon.

647
00:35:43.400 --> 00:35:45.760
Don't you think it might be nice if I made

648
00:35:45.800 --> 00:35:47.639
some records and we listened to them.

649
00:35:48.079 --> 00:35:50.559
I'd enjoy that? Oh excuse me?

650
00:35:53.719 --> 00:35:53.880
Hello?

651
00:35:55.440 --> 00:36:00.880
Ooh Harry, what a delightful surprise. Of course I mean it,

652
00:36:01.400 --> 00:36:06.519
I mean everything I say to you. That's ridiculous. We're

653
00:36:06.559 --> 00:36:11.079
not playing a game. There's no winning or losing. Of

654
00:36:11.159 --> 00:36:18.760
course I missed you. Yes, yes, I'll be there.

655
00:36:21.440 --> 00:36:23.000
Was that Harry Wilkerson?

656
00:36:23.079 --> 00:36:25.519
Yes, and he has wonderful news. I'm sorry, Gerald, but

657
00:36:25.519 --> 00:36:27.599
I must leave now. I'm going to meet Harry. You

658
00:36:27.639 --> 00:36:30.239
can stay and wait for uncle if you like. I'm

659
00:36:30.320 --> 00:36:41.199
sure you understand, Amelia.

660
00:36:42.480 --> 00:36:46.639
Let me pinch you. Why to make sure the dreams

661
00:36:46.760 --> 00:36:48.639
come true? Come in, come in.

662
00:36:51.039 --> 00:36:52.920
What a lovely apartment.

663
00:36:53.639 --> 00:36:57.280
I told you you'd like it. Oh, why the devil

664
00:36:57.280 --> 00:36:59.320
did it take you so long to get here? Think

665
00:36:59.360 --> 00:37:02.159
of what we've been missing, thank you, of the happiness

666
00:37:02.199 --> 00:37:02.880
we've lost.

667
00:37:02.639 --> 00:37:04.840
At cat Ever, don't you have something to show me?

668
00:37:07.679 --> 00:37:14.840
All right? Hold out your hand. There that's what you wanted. Oh, yes,

669
00:37:16.039 --> 00:37:20.639
you know It's amazing that even fits familiar with this

670
00:37:21.079 --> 00:37:26.559
ring eye the wed. Oh, man, I need you so desperately.

671
00:37:27.440 --> 00:37:28.559
When are we going to get married?

672
00:37:28.639 --> 00:37:29.039
Whenever?

673
00:37:29.079 --> 00:37:29.400
You like?

674
00:37:29.480 --> 00:37:32.960
My darling? Well, isn't the lady you're supposed to set

675
00:37:33.039 --> 00:37:33.519
the dates?

676
00:37:34.239 --> 00:37:34.440
Oh?

677
00:37:34.519 --> 00:37:36.480
I suppose. So I'll have to speak to my uncle.

678
00:37:37.519 --> 00:37:39.519
I wonder how he'll feel about your marrying me.

679
00:37:39.679 --> 00:37:42.039
He wants what I want and what's best for me.

680
00:37:43.239 --> 00:37:45.400
Oh, if you knew how I missed not seeing you

681
00:37:45.480 --> 00:37:49.719
this past month. I thought the loneliness would gradually disappear,

682
00:37:49.760 --> 00:37:52.639
but it only got worse as the days went by.

683
00:37:52.679 --> 00:37:55.840
I've missed you more, My poor darling.

684
00:37:55.880 --> 00:37:58.440
You could have saved yourself all that misery if you've

685
00:37:58.559 --> 00:38:00.519
just gotten the ring for me right off.

686
00:38:02.119 --> 00:38:05.559
That was the most difficult and painful thing I've ever

687
00:38:05.679 --> 00:38:06.199
been faced with.

688
00:38:06.400 --> 00:38:07.360
Did need to try to?

689
00:38:07.559 --> 00:38:10.159
Oh? I mean I love you. I prove that.

690
00:38:10.480 --> 00:38:10.920
I warn you.

691
00:38:11.000 --> 00:38:14.480
The subject of the ring is taboo. We'll never mention

692
00:38:14.559 --> 00:38:15.360
it again.

693
00:38:16.079 --> 00:38:21.920
Okay if you want. After all, a wife must please

694
00:38:21.960 --> 00:38:22.639
her husband.

695
00:38:27.480 --> 00:38:27.719
Arthur.

696
00:38:28.280 --> 00:38:29.960
I'm here to check on a rumor that I hope

697
00:38:30.039 --> 00:38:30.519
is false.

698
00:38:30.880 --> 00:38:33.800
It was about a media and Harry Wilkerson getting married.

699
00:38:34.159 --> 00:38:34.719
It's true.

700
00:38:35.719 --> 00:38:38.199
Have you any idea? What a hell's brew your confounding?

701
00:38:38.840 --> 00:38:42.119
Harry Wilkerson is no robot, whatever you may think of him.

702
00:38:42.119 --> 00:38:45.039
He's a human being with feelings and sensibility.

703
00:38:45.280 --> 00:38:48.840
Becoming hysterical Wilkerson's forthcoming marriage to a.

704
00:38:48.920 --> 00:38:51.119
Media is none of your business.

705
00:38:51.679 --> 00:38:53.199
That you persist in making it so.

706
00:38:53.719 --> 00:38:56.280
Leads me to conclude that you're not entirely over your

707
00:38:56.320 --> 00:38:57.920
early infatuation.

708
00:38:57.400 --> 00:38:57.880
With the media.

709
00:38:58.000 --> 00:38:59.960
Oh you really believe that, don't you?

710
00:39:00.119 --> 00:39:00.599
Of course?

711
00:39:01.039 --> 00:39:04.000
And as a media's creator, I can understand it. She

712
00:39:04.159 --> 00:39:09.280
was designed to be irresistible and also controllable only by me.

713
00:39:10.199 --> 00:39:13.000
She was created to please men, and.

714
00:39:13.039 --> 00:39:17.280
She has either I employ you as a friend, as

715
00:39:17.280 --> 00:39:20.320
someone who has your best interest at heart, give up

716
00:39:20.360 --> 00:39:24.880
this insanity. I know your sincere, Gerald, but nothing you

717
00:39:24.960 --> 00:39:27.880
say or do will make me change my plan. And

718
00:39:28.039 --> 00:39:30.760
what happens when, inevitably, at some time in the future,

719
00:39:31.039 --> 00:39:34.159
Wilkeson discovered the truth about a media. Ah, that's an

720
00:39:34.199 --> 00:39:39.760
interesting speculation. I am looking forward to that day. What

721
00:39:39.880 --> 00:39:44.039
do you suppose he'll do? I have no idea, But

722
00:39:44.079 --> 00:39:47.760
what will you gain if you told Wilkeson the truth? Now?

723
00:39:48.280 --> 00:39:49.920
Wouldn't that be humiliation enough?

724
00:39:49.960 --> 00:39:53.119
For him and satisfaction enough for you to know that

725
00:39:53.159 --> 00:39:56.079
you are so completely fooled a scientist like wilkeson the

726
00:39:56.239 --> 00:39:57.559
sailor birth Gerald.

727
00:39:58.039 --> 00:40:01.159
Nothing you say will stop me from walking down the

728
00:40:01.400 --> 00:40:10.880
church aisle tomorrow to give the bride away.

729
00:40:13.559 --> 00:40:17.480
Oh Cheryl, Oh, you've caught me at a terrible time.

730
00:40:17.559 --> 00:40:19.199
Didn't you know that I'm getting married in an hour?

731
00:40:19.599 --> 00:40:20.519
Not if I can help it?

732
00:40:22.400 --> 00:40:23.239
What the devil is it?

733
00:40:23.440 --> 00:40:24.159
Erry?

734
00:40:24.360 --> 00:40:27.039
Your marriage to a Melia will be a disaster. It's

735
00:40:27.039 --> 00:40:28.960
simply a plot on the part of Arthur More to

736
00:40:29.000 --> 00:40:31.920
make a fool of you. Have you lost your mind?

737
00:40:32.199 --> 00:40:38.559
Amelia is a mannequin, an automaton, a robot programmed by Moore.

738
00:40:40.960 --> 00:40:41.360
Jerold.

739
00:40:43.599 --> 00:40:47.360
I can see you believe that I'm sorry for you.

740
00:40:47.440 --> 00:40:50.079
I don't know it's causes operation, but I'll prove it

741
00:40:50.119 --> 00:40:52.960
to you. But I'm meeting my best man in forty

742
00:40:53.000 --> 00:40:55.960
five minutes. I'm already layer a scientist. You at least

743
00:40:56.000 --> 00:40:58.760
let me prove the truth of what I'm saying. Well,

744
00:40:58.800 --> 00:41:01.320
how do you propose to do? And just meet me

745
00:41:01.360 --> 00:41:03.480
at the church in half an hour. But don't let

746
00:41:03.599 --> 00:41:05.880
Arthur Moore or a media know that you have arrived.

747
00:41:10.760 --> 00:41:13.639
I conceived a wild plan, but it was the only

748
00:41:13.679 --> 00:41:16.440
thing I could dream up. I raced to the church,

749
00:41:16.800 --> 00:41:19.719
praying that Moore's eagerness would have him bring Amelia early.

750
00:41:20.559 --> 00:41:22.920
When I saw I was right, I stopped in the

751
00:41:22.960 --> 00:41:27.440
minister's study briefly, and then entered the room where they were.

752
00:41:28.519 --> 00:41:32.159
Gerald, what a surprise, come to say a last pond

753
00:41:32.199 --> 00:41:33.000
farewell to.

754
00:41:32.920 --> 00:41:36.840
The beautiful bride something like that, and also to ask, now.

755
00:41:37.639 --> 00:41:39.079
No more pleading with me too?

756
00:41:39.239 --> 00:41:41.800
Oh, excuse me, I see that I'm wanted in the

757
00:41:41.840 --> 00:41:44.880
minister's study. I'll be right back, my dear, and don't

758
00:41:44.920 --> 00:41:47.199
be too nice to our dear friend, Gerald.

759
00:41:48.719 --> 00:41:53.960
Amelia, come with me where to meet someone you know

760
00:41:54.199 --> 00:41:54.639
and like?

761
00:41:55.639 --> 00:41:55.960
Quickly?

762
00:41:56.039 --> 00:42:02.360
Now, Harry, don't you know it's bad luck for the

763
00:42:02.400 --> 00:42:04.159
room to see the bride before the wedding.

764
00:42:04.360 --> 00:42:07.119
That's an outdated zup position, Amelia. All right, Gerald, get

765
00:42:07.159 --> 00:42:10.400
on with it. I'm warning you. I've come prepared with Amelia.

766
00:42:10.840 --> 00:42:11.760
Do you like me?

767
00:42:12.159 --> 00:42:15.400
Of course, Jerald, very much. You are one of the

768
00:42:15.440 --> 00:42:18.280
most fascinating men I've ever met. All right, what is

769
00:42:18.320 --> 00:42:19.199
this rigamariot?

770
00:42:19.840 --> 00:42:20.320
Amelia?

771
00:42:21.320 --> 00:42:25.360
Will you kiss me? Of course? Now, Shop, I'm giving

772
00:42:25.360 --> 00:42:26.400
a scientist's poof.

773
00:42:28.119 --> 00:42:37.199
Kiss me, Amelia, Amelia, you're truly a lovely, bewitching preacher.

774
00:42:39.000 --> 00:42:40.039
Will you marry me?

775
00:42:40.559 --> 00:42:40.800
Why?

776
00:42:40.880 --> 00:42:44.480
Of course? Oh? Oh wait no, Uncle Arthur told me

777
00:42:44.559 --> 00:42:46.840
not to be too nice to you.

778
00:42:47.000 --> 00:42:55.280
Uncle uncle Arthur told a media what about me? How

779
00:42:55.320 --> 00:42:56.400
can you think of anyone else?

780
00:42:56.400 --> 00:42:56.559
Well?

781
00:42:56.639 --> 00:42:59.360
I want you to marry me, Amelia, to be my wife.

782
00:42:59.840 --> 00:43:01.280
You want to, don't you?

783
00:43:01.679 --> 00:43:06.000
Of course? Dear Gerald, I've always liked you. You know that.

784
00:43:06.320 --> 00:43:09.119
Shut up, you stupid mind. There's no sense in starting

785
00:43:09.159 --> 00:43:09.639
at harrys.

786
00:43:09.639 --> 00:43:10.880
He's only a robot only.

787
00:43:12.000 --> 00:43:15.840
I told you I can't prepared, and now I'm going

788
00:43:15.880 --> 00:43:16.559
to prove it.

789
00:43:17.199 --> 00:43:18.760
What's going on here? Work?

790
00:43:19.280 --> 00:43:21.840
What do you wash your mind? Put that knife down

791
00:43:22.159 --> 00:43:26.239
until I destroyed your monstrous creation. Now watch while I

792
00:43:26.280 --> 00:43:31.119
reper inside a stop him, Gerald? Somebody there right by

793
00:43:31.119 --> 00:43:32.280
your heart you're.

794
00:43:32.199 --> 00:43:37.719
Supposed to be and there stops lasting Alia.

795
00:43:39.239 --> 00:43:40.039
Don't you see?

796
00:43:40.360 --> 00:43:42.280
The professor is bleeding alsong Earl.

797
00:43:44.079 --> 00:43:46.079
Maybe you were right, Harry.

798
00:43:46.280 --> 00:43:49.199
Get an ambulance here, immediately, move man.

799
00:43:49.880 --> 00:43:55.000
Tuly Earl. The knife is going too deep, too much

800
00:43:55.199 --> 00:43:56.039
loss of blood.

801
00:43:56.119 --> 00:43:57.159
Don't talk out here.

802
00:43:57.239 --> 00:44:01.360
It doesn't matter now you see I was telling the

803
00:44:01.400 --> 00:44:04.599
truth when I said, I gave ten.

804
00:44:04.440 --> 00:44:06.519
Years of my life to me.

805
00:44:07.960 --> 00:44:15.119
I did give her life, Geril my own life's blood.

806
00:44:20.280 --> 00:44:23.800
The story never made the newspapers. When the coroner told

807
00:44:23.800 --> 00:44:27.280
the district attorney that Emilia was indeed a robot, the

808
00:44:27.360 --> 00:44:30.119
state felt there was no way they could prosecute Wilkinson

809
00:44:30.199 --> 00:44:36.480
for murder or even manslaughter. Until now, I kept quiet,

810
00:44:37.599 --> 00:44:40.400
but I never stopped wanting to tell the story to

811
00:44:40.440 --> 00:44:50.920
the world. And quite a story it is. Harry Wilkeson

812
00:44:51.079 --> 00:44:55.440
resigned and left town quietly. You may take the story

813
00:44:55.480 --> 00:44:58.800
as a fairy tale, a horror story, or as a

814
00:44:58.840 --> 00:45:00.840
warning to its yours.

815
00:45:01.280 --> 00:45:02.519
Oh, and there is.

816
00:45:02.559 --> 00:45:05.559
Another aspect to the story that should be considered. I'll

817
00:45:05.599 --> 00:45:19.199
be right back to explore it with you. And we

818
00:45:19.320 --> 00:45:22.559
know that the district attorney felt the state couldn't prosecute

819
00:45:22.599 --> 00:45:26.519
Harry Wilkerson for the murder of a robot. But if

820
00:45:26.559 --> 00:45:29.880
it was indeed Wilkerson's knife that was responsible for the

821
00:45:29.960 --> 00:45:34.360
life blood seeping from Professor Arthur Moore, could that perhaps

822
00:45:34.400 --> 00:45:39.199
be construed as murder or at least manslaughter For you

823
00:45:39.320 --> 00:45:43.320
lawyers in the audience, A pretty little legal problem, one

824
00:45:43.400 --> 00:45:47.000
for which I should be grateful for your guidance. Our

825
00:45:47.039 --> 00:45:50.760
cast included John Deale, Marionseldus, Ralph Bell and Gordon Gould.

826
00:45:51.320 --> 00:45:54.400
The entire production was under the direction of Hymon Brown.

827
00:45:56.920 --> 00:46:00.239
And now a preview of our next do.

828
00:46:00.920 --> 00:46:02.960
So this is your room, Rodney.

829
00:46:03.360 --> 00:46:08.519
It's very nice, but my so hot and stuffy.

830
00:46:09.559 --> 00:46:11.159
Demmit, let's open a window.

831
00:46:11.199 --> 00:46:15.000
It's midsummer and you have all the windows closed.

832
00:46:17.000 --> 00:46:18.400
Yeah, that's better.

833
00:46:19.199 --> 00:46:21.559
Yeah, let's see your butterflies.

834
00:46:23.320 --> 00:46:29.760
Well, aren't you going to show me your collection? Yea, Rodney?

835
00:46:29.800 --> 00:46:32.440
Why are you staring like that?

836
00:46:33.480 --> 00:46:38.800
Rodney? Don't come any closer to me. I don't like you, Rodney.

837
00:46:39.119 --> 00:46:40.280
What's the matter with you?

838
00:46:46.719 --> 00:46:49.719
Until next time? Pleasant?

839
00:47:01.920 --> 00:47:08.519
Well, that certainly gave us something to consider, wouldn't you say? Oh,

840
00:47:08.559 --> 00:47:09.400
what's that?

841
00:47:09.480 --> 00:47:09.679
Oh?

842
00:47:09.840 --> 00:47:13.239
No, no, no, don't you worry about that? That lock?

843
00:47:13.800 --> 00:47:21.239
Oh it cannot be broken, not by mortal means anyway. No, no, no,

844
00:47:21.840 --> 00:47:26.679
nothing but a key will do. And speaking of confinement,

845
00:47:27.920 --> 00:47:32.079
what about the opposite of confinement? What about freedom? Have

846
00:47:32.199 --> 00:47:36.119
you thought about any trips, any adventures, any excursions, any

847
00:47:36.440 --> 00:47:40.679
sojourns you want to take in the new year. I

848
00:47:40.800 --> 00:47:46.199
myself have limited options, but I have been many places.

849
00:47:46.480 --> 00:47:50.559
I suppose I'm on a Vacation from.

850
00:47:50.519 --> 00:48:01.440
Life presents The Mysterious Traveler, produced and directed by Bob

851
00:48:01.480 --> 00:48:02.800
Other and David Cogan.

852
00:48:09.639 --> 00:48:12.800
This is a Mysterious Traveler in writing you to join

853
00:48:12.880 --> 00:48:15.360
me on another journey into the realm of the strange

854
00:48:15.400 --> 00:48:19.000
and the terrifying. I hope you will enjoy the trip,

855
00:48:19.440 --> 00:48:21.840
that it will thrill you a little and chill you

856
00:48:21.880 --> 00:48:24.519
a little. So settle back, get a good rip on

857
00:48:24.559 --> 00:48:27.559
your nerves, and be comfortable if you can.

858
00:48:34.159 --> 00:48:37.320
By the way, did you have a good vacation this summer?

859
00:48:38.039 --> 00:48:44.039
And I it's quiet time, no unusual excitement, no unpleasant

860
00:48:44.039 --> 00:48:47.280
event that shook your nerves so that you jump when

861
00:48:47.280 --> 00:48:50.559
a strange hand knocks on your window at midnight or

862
00:48:50.639 --> 00:48:55.280
a slow, heavy footsteps come up to your door. That's good.

863
00:48:56.119 --> 00:48:58.320
Then you're in shape to go on another vacation with

864
00:48:58.480 --> 00:49:09.280
me tonight. It's the story I call vacation from Life.

865
00:49:10.239 --> 00:49:12.800
The spot I have in mind for your vacation is

866
00:49:12.800 --> 00:49:17.119
a tiny harbor along the northern Maine coast, an isolated

867
00:49:17.159 --> 00:49:20.840
beach reached only by boat from the nearest town two

868
00:49:20.880 --> 00:49:25.360
miles away, and so lonely. There's only a single cottage,

869
00:49:25.960 --> 00:49:29.280
but it's going to be vacant soon. The president oor

870
00:49:29.400 --> 00:49:31.639
won't be leaving it after tonight.

871
00:49:36.360 --> 00:49:40.800
My name is Matthew Clark. I am forty years old,

872
00:49:40.840 --> 00:49:44.239
and I teach Greek in New York City. I suppose

873
00:49:44.280 --> 00:49:47.199
you could say I'm a typical professor, since I wear

874
00:49:47.360 --> 00:49:52.159
glasses stuper little. I'm absent minded at times, and as

875
00:49:52.199 --> 00:49:54.039
my wife has said so many times and the ten

876
00:49:54.119 --> 00:49:57.280
years we've been married, I hardly know a screwdriver from

877
00:49:57.280 --> 00:50:00.239
a monkey eventual, how to replace a burned out big

878
00:50:00.360 --> 00:50:06.119
light bulb. A fumbler. That's her favorite word to describe me. Well,

879
00:50:06.159 --> 00:50:10.280
she's going to find out it's not true. But I

880
00:50:10.320 --> 00:50:13.000
mustn't get excited. I won't be able to finish. As

881
00:50:13.000 --> 00:50:16.719
if I might, I don't keep calm putting this. In

882
00:50:16.800 --> 00:50:20.800
our cottage on Desolation Beach in Maine, it's almost dark

883
00:50:21.039 --> 00:50:23.599
and the waves are pounding on the sand. The wind

884
00:50:23.679 --> 00:50:27.440
is rising. There's a real northeaster coming. But four days ago,

885
00:50:27.760 --> 00:50:29.679
when I came up here to open the cottage, the

886
00:50:29.719 --> 00:50:32.880
sun shone, the water sparkled, and except for the driftwood

887
00:50:32.920 --> 00:50:35.079
and seaweed along the beach, there wasn't a hint of

888
00:50:35.079 --> 00:50:39.599
the fierce storms that can lash this shore. I made

889
00:50:39.639 --> 00:50:42.440
sure that the cottage was in good shape, aired the rooms,

890
00:50:42.679 --> 00:50:45.079
and put away the stock of provisions that Thompson had

891
00:50:45.079 --> 00:50:47.559
brought from me from the village in his boat. And

892
00:50:47.559 --> 00:50:49.280
then while I waited for Seth to call for me,

893
00:50:49.320 --> 00:50:52.079
I walked along the beach, cooking into the piles of driftwood,

894
00:50:52.119 --> 00:50:56.000
like a boy searching for treasure. And I found it.

895
00:50:56.880 --> 00:50:59.239
I found something that set my heart to pounding and

896
00:50:59.280 --> 00:51:01.679
brought a flush of excitement to my face, something that

897
00:51:01.800 --> 00:51:05.719
roused my imagination to a feverish pitch. It was a

898
00:51:05.800 --> 00:51:09.239
mind enabled mind torn loose Smith's mooring some place in

899
00:51:09.280 --> 00:51:12.480
the Atlantic during the war, and tossed ashore at last,

900
00:51:12.719 --> 00:51:16.239
here at my feet. It was hidden in the seaweed,

901
00:51:16.679 --> 00:51:19.559
a three foot steel ball with five hundred pounds of

902
00:51:19.639 --> 00:51:23.599
TNT inside it, waiting for an incautious touch to set

903
00:51:23.639 --> 00:51:26.920
it on. When I saw it, I started back an alarm,

904
00:51:27.760 --> 00:51:31.519
and then in a flash I knew knew what a

905
00:51:31.599 --> 00:51:33.559
treasure I'd found and what it was going to mean

906
00:51:33.599 --> 00:51:36.159
to me. I was gloating over it so that I

907
00:51:36.159 --> 00:51:38.840
didn't even hear seth boat arrive at my dock until

908
00:51:38.840 --> 00:51:41.960
he called to me further if I ready to behind

909
00:51:42.039 --> 00:51:45.480
the town. I turned to see Seth stepping down off

910
00:51:45.519 --> 00:51:48.119
my dock. I hurried toward him. Yes, Seth, I'm ready.

911
00:51:48.159 --> 00:51:50.840
I were just stretching my legs while I waited.

912
00:51:51.320 --> 00:51:52.679
Then your boating around.

913
00:51:52.360 --> 00:51:53.159
That drift wood.

914
00:51:53.480 --> 00:51:57.000
I figured maybe you'd found some worthwhile, said, What I

915
00:51:57.039 --> 00:52:02.320
found was a very dead codfish, and extremely you rewind. Well,

916
00:52:02.559 --> 00:52:06.039
here's the boat. How emfess side? For Pete's sake. Don't

917
00:52:06.039 --> 00:52:07.719
never step right in the guttle of a boat when

918
00:52:07.719 --> 00:52:10.480
it's rocking. You leave to fall into the boat and

919
00:52:10.480 --> 00:52:13.199
break a leg, or you're over the side. You maybe drowned,

920
00:52:14.000 --> 00:52:16.000
because you've told me that before happens you not more

921
00:52:16.000 --> 00:52:20.119
than eleven times. Yeah, I'll hop in the first. Now

922
00:52:20.199 --> 00:52:20.800
give me a hand.

923
00:52:21.000 --> 00:52:21.280
That's it.

924
00:52:22.079 --> 00:52:26.760
Jump down here beside me. Look out, professor. When you

925
00:52:26.800 --> 00:52:28.519
lose your balance and the boat, don'll never grab the

926
00:52:28.519 --> 00:52:29.679
engines usually hot.

927
00:52:30.360 --> 00:52:31.960
Let me see how bad you burn your hands?

928
00:52:32.239 --> 00:52:32.519
Really?

929
00:52:32.760 --> 00:52:34.920
Is it not too bad? It's clumsy of me, though,

930
00:52:34.960 --> 00:52:35.639
wasn't there for.

931
00:52:35.679 --> 00:52:39.440
Us to burn? Ain't bad with the little engine? Grease

932
00:52:39.480 --> 00:52:43.119
and picked it up there?

933
00:52:44.000 --> 00:52:48.960
Now you sit on back there, anyone said, stay set time?

934
00:52:50.880 --> 00:52:54.880
Truth is, professor. I don't trust you on machinery, no

935
00:52:55.039 --> 00:53:04.039
more than I would have baby. My hand burned painfully,

936
00:53:04.039 --> 00:53:06.519
but I was too elated to notice. All the way

937
00:53:06.519 --> 00:53:08.880
back to the village and then by trained to New York,

938
00:53:09.159 --> 00:53:12.239
thoughts and plans raced through my mind. I formulated in

939
00:53:12.280 --> 00:53:14.239
the scard at half a dozen schemes until the right

940
00:53:14.320 --> 00:53:18.079
one came to me, so simple it would be impossible

941
00:53:18.119 --> 00:53:21.719
to go wrong. And then I fell asleep as peacefully

942
00:53:21.719 --> 00:53:26.000
as a child. In New York. Next morning, I hurried

943
00:53:26.000 --> 00:53:28.599
down to tenth Street, to a tiny apartment six flights up,

944
00:53:28.719 --> 00:53:30.800
and eagerly wrapped on the brass knocker.

945
00:53:36.280 --> 00:53:38.199
Oh my, Matthew, Matthew, it's you.

946
00:53:38.480 --> 00:53:41.119
Yes, Ruth. I know you didn't expect me so early,

947
00:53:41.199 --> 00:53:42.360
but here I am.

948
00:53:42.760 --> 00:53:45.199
I didn't expect you so early, but I am glad

949
00:53:45.239 --> 00:53:45.679
to see you.

950
00:53:45.960 --> 00:53:46.599
Who did you come in?

951
00:53:46.840 --> 00:53:47.159
Thank you.

952
00:53:48.960 --> 00:53:52.280
I'm making some coffee to I'll be comfortable only for

953
00:53:52.360 --> 00:53:52.760
a moment.

954
00:53:53.920 --> 00:53:57.280
As Ruth bustle around making coffee, I sat down and relaxed.

955
00:53:57.880 --> 00:54:00.920
The tiny apartment was soothing. There was an atmosphere of

956
00:54:00.960 --> 00:54:04.159
peace and choiet about it that delighted me and Ruth

957
00:54:04.199 --> 00:54:09.000
herself delighted me even more. She was small, charmingly feminine.

958
00:54:09.559 --> 00:54:12.519
She was a teacher too, of ancient history. We'd met

959
00:54:12.559 --> 00:54:14.519
during one of my summer lectures at the university and

960
00:54:14.559 --> 00:54:17.880
quickly found much in common. One of our favorite pastimes

961
00:54:18.000 --> 00:54:21.400
was to discuss the life of the ancient world, perhaps

962
00:54:21.440 --> 00:54:24.280
the Punic War or the history of Greece. She from

963
00:54:24.280 --> 00:54:26.639
the standpoint of the historium, I from that of a

964
00:54:26.639 --> 00:54:29.119
student of the language and literature.

965
00:54:29.159 --> 00:54:32.719
Matthew, drink this hot and strong the way you like it.

966
00:54:32.880 --> 00:54:33.760
Thank you.

967
00:54:33.800 --> 00:54:39.400
Oh you dropped it well, Matthew, who read your hand?

968
00:54:40.280 --> 00:54:41.320
What have you done to it?

969
00:54:41.320 --> 00:54:44.000
It's just a little burn, nothing to worry about, Matthew.

970
00:54:44.039 --> 00:54:46.960
You must take care of yourself. I'm going to fix

971
00:54:47.039 --> 00:54:50.880
that burn at some lotion right here and bandages. Just

972
00:54:50.960 --> 00:54:52.920
sit and drink your coffee while I take care of it,

973
00:54:53.679 --> 00:54:55.559
and tell me all about the cottage and the trip

974
00:54:55.639 --> 00:54:56.320
and everything.

975
00:54:56.880 --> 00:55:00.400
The touch of her fingers was amazingly soothing, And as

976
00:55:00.400 --> 00:55:02.559
she managed my hand, I told her of my trip. No,

977
00:55:02.679 --> 00:55:04.559
I said nothing of the mind that I'd found on

978
00:55:04.599 --> 00:55:07.440
the beach. She listened to me as a woman should,

979
00:55:07.760 --> 00:55:11.480
with interest and appreciation. She made me forget my clumsiness,

980
00:55:11.599 --> 00:55:17.840
my awkwardness, that conversation. I cannot deny it. My insignificance

981
00:55:18.079 --> 00:55:20.559
in the world, no wonder. I loved her with a

982
00:55:20.599 --> 00:55:23.559
devotion that my friends would have thought impossible. In poor, dull,

983
00:55:23.760 --> 00:55:28.559
dry Matthew Clark, Professor of Greek it was with the

984
00:55:28.599 --> 00:55:32.440
reluctance that I said goodbye when I finished my coffee.

985
00:55:32.559 --> 00:55:35.599
I know you have to go, Matthew, but tweet.

986
00:55:35.280 --> 00:55:37.239
Of you to God in you know that I come

987
00:55:37.320 --> 00:55:38.119
often her if I could.

988
00:55:38.199 --> 00:55:40.800
Ruth, of course, Matthew, I understand.

989
00:55:42.039 --> 00:55:44.480
I will I see you again before your takeification.

990
00:55:44.960 --> 00:55:47.400
Of course, my dear, I'll stop in day after tomorrow

991
00:55:47.679 --> 00:55:52.880
and Ruth, yes, I hope to have some news for you,

992
00:55:52.960 --> 00:55:57.280
then some good news, Yes, my dear, I hope so.

993
00:55:58.360 --> 00:55:59.079
But for now.

994
00:56:00.119 --> 00:56:06.840
Wow, how different it was. When I reached my own

995
00:56:06.880 --> 00:56:10.880
apartment in Washington Square, Louise, my wife greeted me with

996
00:56:10.920 --> 00:56:13.880
a brisk contempt, which has been her attitude toward me

997
00:56:13.880 --> 00:56:15.719
almost from the first week that we were married.

998
00:56:19.159 --> 00:56:24.119
Yes, oh, so your home. Yes, I'm home, safe and sound,

999
00:56:24.159 --> 00:56:27.920
my dear, safe but not completely sound. I see that

1000
00:56:28.119 --> 00:56:30.280
bandage on your hand. What did you do to yourself

1001
00:56:30.280 --> 00:56:30.760
this time?

1002
00:56:31.599 --> 00:56:35.360
Oh, I burned myself slightly on the engine of Seth

1003
00:56:35.400 --> 00:56:36.119
Thompson's boat.

1004
00:56:36.280 --> 00:56:39.079
Well, you wouldn't be you if you didn't hurt yourself somehow.

1005
00:56:39.920 --> 00:56:44.400
I'll put the bandage on. I see it's fresh. A

1006
00:56:44.519 --> 00:56:46.039
very nice young lady in the drug store at the

1007
00:56:46.039 --> 00:56:46.840
station fixed it.

1008
00:56:46.960 --> 00:56:47.280
You see.

1009
00:56:47.320 --> 00:56:49.199
I stopped right by some oil.

1010
00:56:49.320 --> 00:56:52.880
Never mind the details. I suppose you want me to

1011
00:56:52.960 --> 00:56:54.599
drop everything and fix some breakfast for you.

1012
00:56:54.719 --> 00:56:57.320
Oh no, my dear, No, I had a couple of

1013
00:56:57.320 --> 00:56:59.280
coffee as the drug store. Well, thank goodness to that.

1014
00:57:00.320 --> 00:57:02.079
Well how's the cottage.

1015
00:57:02.400 --> 00:57:04.639
I suppose it had been broken into and half off

1016
00:57:04.639 --> 00:57:05.280
things stolen.

1017
00:57:05.639 --> 00:57:07.960
No, it was in fine shape. One of the shoves

1018
00:57:08.039 --> 00:57:09.039
was blown off, that was all.

1019
00:57:09.400 --> 00:57:12.119
What about the electricity? I suppose you forgot to have

1020
00:57:12.199 --> 00:57:12.639
it turned on?

1021
00:57:12.760 --> 00:57:15.039
Oh, my dear, I attended that first thing. The place

1022
00:57:15.119 --> 00:57:16.679
is ready and waiting for us.

1023
00:57:16.679 --> 00:57:19.320
Well, and hardly believe you haven't forgotten something.

1024
00:57:20.000 --> 00:57:22.239
But I can't stand here talking. I have things to do.

1025
00:57:22.679 --> 00:57:25.280
I suppose you'll want to rest.

1026
00:57:25.440 --> 00:57:27.480
Yes, I would rather like a nap. I didn't sleep

1027
00:57:27.480 --> 00:57:30.239
so very well on the train. Very well, I'll see

1028
00:57:30.239 --> 00:57:34.440
you at dinner. There's something else I want to talk

1029
00:57:34.440 --> 00:57:37.079
to you about, but it can wait.

1030
00:57:40.840 --> 00:57:44.119
Something else she wanted to talk about. Well, there was

1031
00:57:44.119 --> 00:57:46.840
something else that I wanted to talk about too. I

1032
00:57:46.920 --> 00:57:48.920
was sure it would do no good, but I had

1033
00:57:48.920 --> 00:57:52.960
to mention it. I didn't see Louise again until dinner,

1034
00:57:53.000 --> 00:57:55.719
and then she wasted no time and coming to the point.

1035
00:57:57.239 --> 00:58:00.400
Matthew, I want to speak to you about your insurance.

1036
00:58:01.239 --> 00:58:02.159
My insurance dollar.

1037
00:58:02.480 --> 00:58:05.599
I said insurance, didn't I She wouldn't repeat my words

1038
00:58:05.639 --> 00:58:06.599
after me like a parrot.

1039
00:58:06.960 --> 00:58:10.440
Well, I'm sorry, Louise, It's just that I rather think

1040
00:58:10.480 --> 00:58:12.679
I'm carrying all the insurance I can afford on the

1041
00:58:12.800 --> 00:58:13.639
teacher's salary.

1042
00:58:14.000 --> 00:58:17.599
On a teacher's salary, that's exactly the point. I suppose

1043
00:58:17.639 --> 00:58:20.960
something happened to you, what's to become of me certainly

1044
00:58:20.960 --> 00:58:22.119
hasn't been able to say anything.

1045
00:58:23.000 --> 00:58:27.400
There is my life insurance, five thousand dollars a pitness

1046
00:58:27.400 --> 00:58:28.360
in these times.

1047
00:58:29.039 --> 00:58:31.519
No, Matthew, you must take out more insurance.

1048
00:58:31.920 --> 00:58:34.400
With your ridiculous faculty for getting hurt, you might easily

1049
00:58:34.519 --> 00:58:35.679
kill yourself at any time.

1050
00:58:35.719 --> 00:58:37.960
Oh, that's a rather callous thing to say, Louise.

1051
00:58:38.440 --> 00:58:42.079
It's practical, that's all. I look at your burned hand.

1052
00:58:42.599 --> 00:58:43.360
You might just ease.

1053
00:58:43.360 --> 00:58:46.440
We have fallen overboard and drowned, has fallen against the engines.

1054
00:58:46.199 --> 00:58:50.920
Louise, I'm not a child, which brings me to something

1055
00:58:50.920 --> 00:58:52.440
that I want to say.

1056
00:58:53.760 --> 00:58:57.519
Well say it, then, Louise.

1057
00:58:58.519 --> 00:59:02.519
For some time I felt that you were dissatisfied with

1058
00:59:02.599 --> 00:59:03.719
me as a husband.

1059
00:59:04.079 --> 00:59:05.400
Indeed, you can go on, Matthew.

1060
00:59:05.639 --> 00:59:07.800
You seem to look upon me as a rather feeble

1061
00:59:07.800 --> 00:59:11.440
witted creature whom you must constantly admonish. I'm sure it

1062
00:59:11.440 --> 00:59:13.039
can be no pleasure to you to be tied to

1063
00:59:13.079 --> 00:59:14.039
such a manager, you think.

1064
00:59:13.920 --> 00:59:16.960
Me, Louise, how are you driving at, Matthew.

1065
00:59:18.079 --> 00:59:20.880
Well, you have a very fine intelligence and great energy,

1066
00:59:20.920 --> 00:59:23.320
and you deserve to be a free woman, able to

1067
00:59:23.360 --> 00:59:25.880
carve a better place for yourself in the world. Yes,

1068
00:59:26.039 --> 00:59:28.679
you're a handsome woman. You could easily find a husband

1069
00:59:28.679 --> 00:59:32.480
more worthy of you, someone like that insurance agent Court

1070
00:59:32.599 --> 00:59:33.840
Van Balga, for instance.

1071
00:59:33.880 --> 00:59:36.159
And just why do you mentioned Court vn Walter.

1072
00:59:36.360 --> 00:59:39.199
Well, it's just as an example. He's obviously attracted to you,

1073
00:59:39.360 --> 00:59:39.800
that's all.

1074
00:59:41.119 --> 00:59:43.440
And so you think I should.

1075
00:59:43.159 --> 00:59:45.519
Divorce you, Well, I can't help feeling that you'd be

1076
00:59:45.599 --> 00:59:46.760
much happier if you did, Louise.

1077
00:59:47.000 --> 00:59:52.320
Possibly I would be. But I know my duty without me, Matthew,

1078
00:59:52.400 --> 00:59:55.480
and it would be quite lost. I'm sure you've managed

1079
00:59:55.480 --> 00:59:59.920
to kill yourself somehow within a year. I'm your wife

1080
01:00:00.119 --> 01:00:04.599
met you, and your wife, I shall remain until death,

1081
01:00:05.360 --> 01:00:07.519
as they say, do us part.

1082
01:00:11.079 --> 01:00:15.119
Until death do us part. Well, I had tried, I'd

1083
01:00:15.159 --> 01:00:17.800
done my best to save her. Now I had to

1084
01:00:17.800 --> 01:00:20.519
go ahead with my own plans. After all, I had

1085
01:00:20.519 --> 01:00:23.360
a writer some happiness too. I may be a professor

1086
01:00:23.400 --> 01:00:25.719
of Greek, but I'm also a man with a man's

1087
01:00:25.760 --> 01:00:30.559
ability to love and hate. Yes, to love Ruth and

1088
01:00:30.639 --> 01:00:34.199
to hate Louise. I hadn't even known how fiercely I

1089
01:00:34.239 --> 01:00:36.760
hated her until after I met Ruth, and then hatred

1090
01:00:36.760 --> 01:00:39.320
had well leponed me with a violence that had astonished me.

1091
01:00:40.199 --> 01:00:42.079
Some men might put up with such a woman for

1092
01:00:42.119 --> 01:00:44.519
a lifetime, but I'm not one of them. They are

1093
01:00:44.559 --> 01:00:47.760
the weeklies of the world. Men, Real men take what

1094
01:00:47.800 --> 01:00:49.519
they want from life, and I was determined to be

1095
01:00:49.840 --> 01:00:55.199
such a man. Next day I did as Louise insisted.

1096
01:00:55.280 --> 01:00:58.079
I called upon court n Bouta, the blonde, handsome refugee

1097
01:00:58.079 --> 01:01:00.280
who has become so Americanized that he speaks better English

1098
01:01:00.320 --> 01:01:03.280
than most Americans, and who sells life insurance to men

1099
01:01:03.360 --> 01:01:05.960
by flirting with their wives.

1100
01:01:06.719 --> 01:01:07.559
I don't like him.

1101
01:01:08.079 --> 01:01:12.239
His easy self assurance and blatant masculinity revolts me. But

1102
01:01:12.559 --> 01:01:13.880
my business didn't take long.

1103
01:01:14.599 --> 01:01:17.679
There you are, mister Clark, an accident insurance policy for

1104
01:01:17.719 --> 01:01:21.119
twenty thousand dollars able to your so charming wife without

1105
01:01:21.119 --> 01:01:22.320
a fuss of red tape.

1106
01:01:22.480 --> 01:01:24.239
Yes, I think it's a waste of money, but Luise

1107
01:01:24.280 --> 01:01:24.599
wanted it.

1108
01:01:25.360 --> 01:01:27.840
Who can say what will happen in this uncertain existence?

1109
01:01:27.880 --> 01:01:32.400
My friend up their main the fierce tides, the slippery rocks,

1110
01:01:32.440 --> 01:01:35.440
the great storms. At any moment, an accident may snatch

1111
01:01:35.440 --> 01:01:36.440
a man's life from him.

1112
01:01:36.679 --> 01:01:39.400
I suppose so, But I don't know why Louise looks

1113
01:01:39.440 --> 01:01:41.519
upon me as such a child. She's just as I have

1114
01:01:41.559 --> 01:01:45.559
to get hurt as ion, so another policy to ensure

1115
01:01:45.679 --> 01:01:49.960
her life as well. Of course, I'm just an underpaid professor.

1116
01:01:50.119 --> 01:01:52.159
I can hardly throw money around for insurance as easily

1117
01:01:52.199 --> 01:01:52.679
as all that.

1118
01:01:52.800 --> 01:01:55.280
All the more reason you needed. If something happened to

1119
01:01:55.280 --> 01:01:59.440
the lovely missus Clark. If I say the expenses was bankrupt.

1120
01:01:59.119 --> 01:02:02.880
You guess they would so let me write a joint

1121
01:02:02.920 --> 01:02:05.800
polacy to cover both of the premium will only be

1122
01:02:05.800 --> 01:02:10.679
a little more well, all right, I suppose it is

1123
01:02:10.679 --> 01:02:13.000
the practical thing to do, when Louis always liked to

1124
01:02:13.000 --> 01:02:13.599
be practiced.

1125
01:02:13.880 --> 01:02:15.960
Of course, when you leave.

1126
01:02:15.880 --> 01:02:18.480
Tomorrow evening from Grand Central Station, I'll give myself the

1127
01:02:18.519 --> 01:02:20.119
pleasure of seeing you off. I may be able to

1128
01:02:20.119 --> 01:02:26.960
help with the baggage and from our my friend. So

1129
01:02:27.079 --> 01:02:31.039
that was that a fumbler. Was I incompetent, unable to

1130
01:02:31.079 --> 01:02:35.159
plan or to fail in anything. Louise would see her

1131
01:02:35.199 --> 01:02:37.960
life was insured in my favor for twenty thousand dollars,

1132
01:02:38.079 --> 01:02:40.719
and Fan Balta would have to testify that he taught

1133
01:02:40.800 --> 01:02:45.559
me into it twenty thousand. What freedom that would give

1134
01:02:45.599 --> 01:02:50.639
Ruth in me? We could travel see Europe, Greece, visit

1135
01:02:50.639 --> 01:02:53.480
the very spots where Socrates walked and Plato composed his

1136
01:02:53.519 --> 01:02:58.599
immortal dialogues. But I can see my jubilants as Louise

1137
01:02:58.679 --> 01:03:03.679
notice it them and happy the brief visitor Ruth say

1138
01:03:03.679 --> 01:03:07.000
goodbye and tell us something of the wonderful future ahead

1139
01:03:07.039 --> 01:03:07.360
for us.

1140
01:03:07.719 --> 01:03:11.320
Oh, Matthew, Matthew, I can hardly believe it's Greece. Rome

1141
01:03:11.480 --> 01:03:14.559
venis all the famous parts of the old world to

1142
01:03:14.679 --> 01:03:15.320
be wonderful.

1143
01:03:15.400 --> 01:03:17.639
Yes, we'll live life for a change roof instead of

1144
01:03:17.679 --> 01:03:19.519
just reading about it in books.

1145
01:03:19.079 --> 01:03:21.639
And your wife, she has a great toe.

1146
01:03:21.880 --> 01:03:24.320
Yes, she's going to divorce me. I'm not the man

1147
01:03:24.400 --> 01:03:25.400
for her, and we both know it.

1148
01:03:25.719 --> 01:03:27.800
I think you're a fine man, Matthew.

1149
01:03:28.199 --> 01:03:31.679
Thank you, my dear. But Louise looks at things differently.

1150
01:03:32.800 --> 01:03:35.440
And we'll be back soon and attend to everything. Then,

1151
01:03:36.360 --> 01:03:45.280
very soon, I promise you, Yes, very soon, much sooner

1152
01:03:45.280 --> 01:03:49.599
than anyone but myself could guess. That night, Louise and

1153
01:03:49.639 --> 01:03:50.519
I left on the Main.

1154
01:03:50.400 --> 01:03:52.320
Express, true to his word.

1155
01:03:53.159 --> 01:03:56.079
Baldos, smirking and odious, was on hand to see us off,

1156
01:03:56.119 --> 01:03:58.239
and Louise made a foolish pots over him.

1157
01:04:00.079 --> 01:04:01.960
Really should have come to the train with us court

1158
01:04:02.159 --> 01:04:03.320
It wasn't necessary, but.

1159
01:04:03.440 --> 01:04:06.239
Of course not for the pleasure, dear lady.

1160
01:04:06.440 --> 01:04:09.159
And the way you carried all our bags.

1161
01:04:09.000 --> 01:04:11.360
Who Matthew could never have carried half of them, even

1162
01:04:11.400 --> 01:04:12.400
if he hadn't burned his.

1163
01:04:12.400 --> 01:04:17.199
Hands the hand learned Greek Greek. Oh well, I hope

1164
01:04:17.199 --> 01:04:19.199
you have a fine trips. Thank you. I shall be

1165
01:04:19.239 --> 01:04:21.519
up to myself next week. I'll drop in on you.

1166
01:04:21.719 --> 01:04:24.159
We'll be looking for you, Court. We'll never give you

1167
01:04:24.199 --> 01:04:25.719
if you fail us, will we? Matthew?

1168
01:04:26.800 --> 01:04:30.199
Oh never mind, Oh dear, it's train time.

1169
01:04:30.679 --> 01:04:34.199
Goodbye course, goodbye, dear lady.

1170
01:04:35.000 --> 01:04:37.199
Oh Court, you shouldn't have done that.

1171
01:04:37.719 --> 01:04:40.039
I'm not used to having my hand kiss.

1172
01:04:39.679 --> 01:04:43.159
In that case, dear lady.

1173
01:04:43.159 --> 01:04:45.920
Oh, oh Court, you're a wicked man to kiss me

1174
01:04:46.000 --> 01:04:47.519
like I had in front of my own husband.

1175
01:04:49.320 --> 01:04:50.599
In that case, I'll forgive you.

1176
01:04:50.679 --> 01:04:51.119
Goodbye.

1177
01:05:02.960 --> 01:05:06.119
I pretended not to notice. Louise is ridiculous friendly with

1178
01:05:06.280 --> 01:05:09.719
Curt Fanalda and we went to our drawing room. Took

1179
01:05:09.760 --> 01:05:12.880
past quickly and exactly unscheduled. Late in the afternoon of

1180
01:05:12.920 --> 01:05:13.400
the next.

1181
01:05:13.239 --> 01:05:14.400
Day, we were in s.

1182
01:05:14.599 --> 01:05:21.280
Thompson's boat approaching our cottage on Desolation Bay. There should

1183
01:05:21.280 --> 01:05:24.320
be Miss Clark cottage jumped through the winter at roll.

1184
01:05:24.599 --> 01:05:27.800
Yes, better than I expect is, considering that Matthew closed

1185
01:05:27.920 --> 01:05:28.639
up last fall.

1186
01:05:29.400 --> 01:05:32.360
All the beach is still season well. The storms last

1187
01:05:32.400 --> 01:05:34.760
year that piled up plenty of weeks and stuff. Really,

1188
01:05:34.880 --> 01:05:37.519
I expect you can burn it though. Oh, speaking of

1189
01:05:37.519 --> 01:05:40.760
burning house, your hand, professor, it's getting well said. I'm

1190
01:05:40.840 --> 01:05:43.639
still confortay with it, but it's healing, and then burns

1191
01:05:43.639 --> 01:05:46.440
can be bad business. I noted fella three years ago

1192
01:05:46.440 --> 01:05:54.960
burned his hands died of it. Yes, sir lockjaw, here

1193
01:05:55.000 --> 01:05:58.159
we are last. I'm tired up and help you on.

1194
01:05:58.280 --> 01:06:01.760
Lord and you folks all set for your vacation. Only

1195
01:06:02.119 --> 01:06:04.119
you're going to have kind of nasty weather.

1196
01:06:03.920 --> 01:06:04.920
The next three days.

1197
01:06:05.000 --> 01:06:07.880
Why is a storm coming up? Oh goodness, the sky

1198
01:06:07.920 --> 01:06:10.920
has gotten gratince we left it, and the winds kicking up.

1199
01:06:10.920 --> 01:06:13.679
Looking at the white camps out there, Yeah, we're in

1200
01:06:13.760 --> 01:06:16.679
for real no easter. I hope you folks ain't forgotten nothing,

1201
01:06:16.679 --> 01:06:18.639
because I won't be able to make it here the

1202
01:06:18.760 --> 01:06:20.559
storm goes down.

1203
01:06:20.760 --> 01:06:21.840
But that's the most.

1204
01:06:21.639 --> 01:06:24.880
Provoked, to be sure. Laying plenty of firewood, yeah, you'd

1205
01:06:24.920 --> 01:06:28.079
be cold and damp. Looks over well, I better be

1206
01:06:28.079 --> 01:06:30.360
getting this stuff for shore up. Not the storm's blown

1207
01:06:30.440 --> 01:06:40.360
up fast, and I figured, just listen to.

1208
01:06:40.320 --> 01:06:43.320
That wind, we might have even had a few nice

1209
01:06:43.360 --> 01:06:44.480
days to begin our vacation.

1210
01:06:45.039 --> 01:06:48.440
It is too bad, by Dere, but you don't seem

1211
01:06:48.519 --> 01:06:50.199
very concerned about it.

1212
01:06:50.239 --> 01:06:52.679
If anything, you seem to be quite happy that we're

1213
01:06:52.679 --> 01:06:53.559
going to have a storm.

1214
01:06:54.440 --> 01:06:55.679
Oh but I'm not.

1215
01:06:57.599 --> 01:07:02.000
Now, let's see everything put away, Matthew, Why didn't you

1216
01:07:02.079 --> 01:07:03.039
have the phone and saw that.

1217
01:07:03.159 --> 01:07:04.920
I asked the price of running a wire out this

1218
01:07:05.079 --> 01:07:06.119
far was prohibitively.

1219
01:07:06.480 --> 01:07:09.079
Oh money, money, I'm so tired of not being able

1220
01:07:09.079 --> 01:07:10.880
to do what I want because it cost too much.

1221
01:07:12.159 --> 01:07:15.760
Oh well, Matthew, we need firewood. It's getting very cold,

1222
01:07:15.800 --> 01:07:17.599
and all we have that big log beside her.

1223
01:07:18.079 --> 01:07:20.039
Yes, of course, I'll go pick up some on the beach.

1224
01:07:20.280 --> 01:07:26.079
I'll be back in ten minutes. I hurried out of

1225
01:07:26.159 --> 01:07:28.840
the cottage. The wind howled and the waves were pounding

1226
01:07:28.880 --> 01:07:32.159
on the beach, sending white foam flying. I strolled along

1227
01:07:32.199 --> 01:07:35.519
the hard packed sand, exdusted me. Everything was working to

1228
01:07:35.559 --> 01:07:39.000
help me the storm, my burnt hand, everything was combined.

1229
01:07:39.119 --> 01:07:41.960
Who aid me? As if I planned it so. One

1230
01:07:42.000 --> 01:07:44.400
hundred feet from the house, I found the mine, just

1231
01:07:44.440 --> 01:07:47.280
as I'd left it, hidden beneath the seaweed, a three

1232
01:07:47.320 --> 01:07:51.400
foot lobe of concentrated storm nestling among the driftboard of

1233
01:07:51.400 --> 01:07:55.119
seaweed and dead fish, covered with barnacles, so finus and

1234
01:07:55.239 --> 01:08:00.679
looking so deadly. Carefully, I lifted the sea I'd placed

1235
01:08:00.719 --> 01:08:03.519
on top of them and exposed the detonating horns. There

1236
01:08:03.559 --> 01:08:06.000
was deadly knobs of metal sticking up from the mine

1237
01:08:06.079 --> 01:08:08.719
and spelling death to any ship that touched them. Next,

1238
01:08:08.760 --> 01:08:11.039
I found several pieces of wood nearby, just the right

1239
01:08:11.079 --> 01:08:13.840
side throughund a fireplace, and pulled from the sand the

1240
01:08:13.920 --> 01:08:16.199
length of rope which once had anchor. A fisherman dropped

1241
01:08:16.199 --> 01:08:19.279
the pot, and now came the dangerous pot. I had

1242
01:08:19.279 --> 01:08:21.840
to fasten several pieces of the firewood to the detonating

1243
01:08:21.880 --> 01:08:24.640
horns of the mine, using the rope to tie them fast.

1244
01:08:25.640 --> 01:08:28.399
With the wind blowing steadily stronger and the storm coming closer,

1245
01:08:28.640 --> 01:08:32.960
I worked as delicately, and the surge a humbler while

1246
01:08:33.039 --> 01:08:38.279
I not now. In five minutes the job was done.

1247
01:08:38.439 --> 01:08:41.199
The drift would tied security to the detonating horns, a

1248
01:08:41.319 --> 01:08:44.399
sup of booby trap for anyone seeking firewood on that beach,

1249
01:08:44.640 --> 01:08:47.079
A strong pool on one of the pieces tied to

1250
01:08:47.119 --> 01:08:51.159
the mine, and afterwards, what evidence would there be? It

1251
01:08:51.199 --> 01:08:54.159
would be tragic, of course, but really no one saw

1252
01:08:54.239 --> 01:08:56.760
the Louise stumbled into a mine while walking on the beach.

1253
01:08:57.960 --> 01:09:01.520
I'd mourned for a while and then married, dear, sweet,

1254
01:09:01.680 --> 01:09:07.159
adoring through I was finished, I put seaweed back to

1255
01:09:07.159 --> 01:09:09.720
cover the line, leaving with the food on top where

1256
01:09:09.720 --> 01:09:12.239
it'd be easy to see and pick up. And then

1257
01:09:12.279 --> 01:09:14.439
I hurried back to the cottage and my heart was

1258
01:09:14.479 --> 01:09:16.319
pounding in my chest with a noise like the thunder

1259
01:09:16.319 --> 01:09:18.359
of the waves as I flung the door open and entered.

1260
01:09:19.760 --> 01:09:22.399
Well, Matthew, hire's the firewood.

1261
01:09:23.279 --> 01:09:25.840
I'm sorry, Louise. It hurt my burnt hand. I couldn't

1262
01:09:25.840 --> 01:09:26.640
carry anything back.

1263
01:09:26.680 --> 01:09:28.560
Time might have known that you can't even bring in tire,

1264
01:09:28.600 --> 01:09:29.479
would you, humbler it?

1265
01:09:29.600 --> 01:09:31.479
I did gather some. I left it on top of

1266
01:09:31.479 --> 01:09:33.319
a pile of seaweed down the beach, but I couldn't

1267
01:09:33.319 --> 01:09:34.119
bring it any further.

1268
01:09:34.319 --> 01:09:36.239
Now I suppose I have to go get it.

1269
01:09:36.319 --> 01:09:38.399
Well, I'll help you, but I can't pick the sticks

1270
01:09:38.479 --> 01:09:38.960
up alone.

1271
01:09:38.960 --> 01:09:41.520
Oh no, Matthew, you stay here and get the fire started.

1272
01:09:42.439 --> 01:09:43.000
Maybe you can.

1273
01:09:42.920 --> 01:09:44.880
Chop some sprinters off that log, even if you can

1274
01:09:45.000 --> 01:09:45.479
use only.

1275
01:09:45.359 --> 01:09:47.800
One hand, of course, I'll have a fine fire going

1276
01:09:47.840 --> 01:09:50.239
when you get back. I can handle the action with

1277
01:09:50.319 --> 01:09:50.800
one hand.

1278
01:09:51.239 --> 01:09:56.039
You see, Matkew, you're acting rather oddly.

1279
01:09:57.159 --> 01:09:59.319
Your face is flushed. I wonder if you could be

1280
01:09:59.359 --> 01:09:59.960
getting a fever.

1281
01:10:00.560 --> 01:10:01.199
I don't think so.

1282
01:10:01.279 --> 01:10:03.000
Then, on top of everything else, i'd have to nurse you.

1283
01:10:03.319 --> 01:10:06.359
I'm presently all right, Louise, and I'll have this log

1284
01:10:06.479 --> 01:10:13.000
chump by the time you'll get back. Oh have you done.

1285
01:10:13.319 --> 01:10:13.920
What I cut?

1286
01:10:13.920 --> 01:10:16.239
My leggy? Help me to the chair, my arm.

1287
01:10:16.920 --> 01:10:20.560
Yeah, I'll sit down there, let's see.

1288
01:10:21.000 --> 01:10:23.520
Oh oh my, Louise, look at all the blood.

1289
01:10:24.159 --> 01:10:25.920
Continue, sit still, Matthew. I can't tell a thing that

1290
01:10:26.000 --> 01:10:27.640
you squoiling, So let me.

1291
01:10:27.760 --> 01:10:30.800
Bleeding, sir. Look it's coming out in little spirits. Louise,

1292
01:10:31.199 --> 01:10:31.720
do something.

1293
01:10:32.560 --> 01:10:35.399
I'm very much afraid Matthew that you've cut an artery.

1294
01:10:36.199 --> 01:10:37.319
Huh an artery?

1295
01:10:38.039 --> 01:10:42.159
Oh no, I always knew something like this would happen someday, Louis.

1296
01:10:42.279 --> 01:10:45.119
Just don't just stand there. Do something. Put it trinically

1297
01:10:45.159 --> 01:10:47.880
on my leg. No, Matthew, no, what do you mean?

1298
01:10:48.119 --> 01:10:50.399
I mean the state has obviously intended you to die,

1299
01:10:50.439 --> 01:10:52.079
and I don't propose to interfere.

1300
01:10:52.319 --> 01:10:52.640
Louise.

1301
01:10:52.640 --> 01:10:54.520
I don't understand you. What are you saying, Matthew.

1302
01:10:54.560 --> 01:10:57.000
Listen to me when you said the other day that

1303
01:10:57.000 --> 01:10:59.119
I should be married to someone like court By Walter,

1304
01:10:59.279 --> 01:11:03.439
you are perfect right. I love course and he loves me,

1305
01:11:03.560 --> 01:11:03.960
he said.

1306
01:11:04.000 --> 01:11:06.680
So you're joking. Not do something about my like I'm

1307
01:11:06.680 --> 01:11:07.279
breathing the death.

1308
01:11:07.399 --> 01:11:10.920
Yes, Matthew, you are, But I was talking about court

1309
01:11:11.000 --> 01:11:13.439
Don Walter. If I were free, he'd marry me. I

1310
01:11:13.560 --> 01:11:16.439
know he would, but not if I were penniless. He's

1311
01:11:16.439 --> 01:11:20.560
European and they're practical about muet on my lege. I'm

1312
01:11:20.560 --> 01:11:24.039
not hard for you to grasp, Matthew, but I'm not

1313
01:11:24.119 --> 01:11:25.960
going to lift a hand to help you.

1314
01:11:26.079 --> 01:11:26.880
Would you go through?

1315
01:11:27.359 --> 01:11:28.800
You're my why I won't be for long.

1316
01:11:28.920 --> 01:11:29.920
Soon i'll be your widow.

1317
01:11:30.359 --> 01:11:32.359
I'll have a dollar of twenty five thousand dollars to

1318
01:11:32.399 --> 01:11:33.079
bring your course.

1319
01:11:33.119 --> 01:11:36.000
Your man. He's not really interested in you. You don't

1320
01:11:36.039 --> 01:11:36.640
know what you're doing.

1321
01:11:36.760 --> 01:11:37.199
I do.

1322
01:11:37.560 --> 01:11:41.039
I'm being completely practical when I urge you to take

1323
01:11:41.039 --> 01:11:41.760
out that insurance.

1324
01:11:41.800 --> 01:11:42.159
Matthew.

1325
01:11:42.600 --> 01:11:44.600
I think I was hoping something like this would happen.

1326
01:11:45.079 --> 01:11:46.760
Maybe I was even planning to make it happen.

1327
01:11:46.800 --> 01:11:47.399
I'm not sure.

1328
01:11:48.119 --> 01:11:50.760
But now it has happened with no help from me.

1329
01:11:51.279 --> 01:11:53.159
I have a right to love and happiness with a

1330
01:11:53.199 --> 01:11:54.239
real man, and I'm taking it.

1331
01:11:54.880 --> 01:11:56.520
Please, please, please help me, Matthew.

1332
01:11:56.680 --> 01:11:57.920
I'm going outside now.

1333
01:11:58.920 --> 01:11:59.840
I'm going to watch the storm.

1334
01:12:01.319 --> 01:12:03.520
Have you gone to half an hour? Then I'll bring

1335
01:12:03.560 --> 01:12:04.359
back from firewood.

1336
01:12:04.920 --> 01:12:07.760
If when I come back I find you be on help.

1337
01:12:08.239 --> 01:12:11.399
I'll be terribly shocked and distressed, but there won't be

1338
01:12:11.399 --> 01:12:12.359
a thing I can do about it.

1339
01:12:12.399 --> 01:12:15.199
Oh no, Louise, wait, wait, I have something to tell you.

1340
01:12:15.279 --> 01:12:17.600
I'm not interested in anything you have to say.

1341
01:12:17.760 --> 01:12:21.479
No important, You mustn't go out, You mustn't.

1342
01:12:21.159 --> 01:12:22.079
Pick up any firewood.

1343
01:12:30.159 --> 01:12:34.520
My friends. Just half an hour ago, Louisa's not there

1344
01:12:34.560 --> 01:12:37.279
on the beach, an hour watching the waves, can't understand,

1345
01:12:37.279 --> 01:12:42.600
and waiting, waiting, And I'm sitting here, getting weaker, weaker.

1346
01:12:43.640 --> 01:12:45.239
I tried to bring to get on my leg, but

1347
01:12:45.600 --> 01:12:48.319
they already so good bleeding you didn't stop it. I

1348
01:12:48.439 --> 01:12:50.960
never always good at first day, I never always good

1349
01:12:50.960 --> 01:12:55.279
at anything, just the fumbler all my life. Too late

1350
01:12:55.359 --> 01:12:58.159
now to help me. In a few moments, a weeks,

1351
01:12:58.159 --> 01:13:00.920
we'll start back. She'll pick up some firewood on the beach,

1352
01:13:01.239 --> 01:13:03.319
probably the firewood that I left, still coming big place

1353
01:13:03.359 --> 01:13:06.399
because of the be convenient. She'll pull hard. The jar

1354
01:13:06.520 --> 01:13:18.640
will set off a decamating mechanism of a mind ing

1355
01:13:19.840 --> 01:13:25.640
brout the window of the college. My scheme worked its work,

1356
01:13:27.199 --> 01:13:33.079
so I'm not such a complete after all. But I'm

1357
01:13:33.079 --> 01:13:37.600
getting weaker. I can't write anymore. I just want to

1358
01:13:37.640 --> 01:13:41.199
say that this is my last you know, in Testament

1359
01:13:42.560 --> 01:13:47.119
twenty five thousand dollars from my insurance policies I leave

1360
01:13:47.199 --> 01:13:50.520
for the Handicraft Foundation for boys to be used in

1361
01:13:50.560 --> 01:13:55.159
teaching boys how to do things with their hands, especially

1362
01:13:55.359 --> 01:14:00.640
direct but it be yours in teaching first aid, the

1363
01:14:00.840 --> 01:14:09.119
use of tool, especially access. Every boy should know how

1364
01:14:10.119 --> 01:14:14.319
to use an ax without cutting himself.

1365
01:14:35.880 --> 01:14:40.920
This is a material serb again. So that cottage is empty. Now,

1366
01:14:42.039 --> 01:14:44.920
there's really nothing wrong with it, just a broken window

1367
01:14:44.960 --> 01:14:47.600
and a few shingles torn loose by the explosion of

1368
01:14:47.640 --> 01:14:50.560
that drifting mine that washed the shore down the beach.

1369
01:14:51.560 --> 01:14:54.840
You could fix it easily if you'd like to know

1370
01:14:54.960 --> 01:14:55.439
where it is.

1371
01:14:55.560 --> 01:14:55.880
I could.

1372
01:14:57.399 --> 01:14:58.840
Oh, you have to get off here.

1373
01:14:59.039 --> 01:15:02.239
I'm sorry, and I'm sure we'll meet again.

1374
01:15:03.600 --> 01:15:06.520
I take this same train every week.

1375
01:15:06.600 --> 01:15:26.159
At this time, you've just heard The Mysterious Traveler, a

1376
01:15:26.239 --> 01:15:28.960
series of dramas of the strange and terrifying. All the

1377
01:15:29.079 --> 01:15:32.199
characters in today's story were entirely fictitious, and any resemblance

1378
01:15:32.239 --> 01:15:35.319
to actual persons living or dead was purely coincidental. In

1379
01:15:35.439 --> 01:15:38.640
the cast today were Maurice Toplin, Eric Westler, Vicki Bohler,

1380
01:15:38.720 --> 01:15:42.600
Helen Titus, and Stephen Schnabel. Original music was played by

1381
01:15:42.640 --> 01:15:45.920
Paul Taubman. A Mysterious Traveler is written, produced and directed

1382
01:15:46.000 --> 01:15:48.000
by Bob Authur and David Cogan.

1383
01:15:49.399 --> 01:15:52.399
Well, my dear, it looks like you could use a

1384
01:15:52.479 --> 01:15:55.279
little bit more tea, and the fire could use a

1385
01:15:55.319 --> 01:15:59.199
bit more wood. Yes, in this room right now, so

1386
01:15:59.359 --> 01:16:06.399
many things are being consumed verheriantly and fair enough. The winter,

1387
01:16:06.640 --> 01:16:11.439
the cold, the dark or it's a very hungry tie

1388
01:16:12.399 --> 01:16:18.159
for man and beasts, and of course beyond beyond. But

1389
01:16:18.319 --> 01:16:21.640
let's talk a little bit more about fear, because this

1390
01:16:21.840 --> 01:16:25.359
story I picked out very special. You see, when a

1391
01:16:25.479 --> 01:16:30.319
story is great, but it's performed even better, that, my dear,

1392
01:16:30.920 --> 01:16:33.439
is when murder comes to life.

1393
01:16:41.399 --> 01:16:45.680
That evening, friends, this is your host, and welcome you

1394
01:16:45.880 --> 01:16:48.399
through the creaking door into the anner tank.

1395
01:16:49.560 --> 01:16:51.000
Come in, come in, fell.

1396
01:16:50.840 --> 01:16:53.079
Over a word this morning while cleaning the.

1397
01:16:53.159 --> 01:16:58.319
Ghosts out of the attic. Longevity means living on and

1398
01:16:58.439 --> 01:17:05.760
on without a stop. Just dug in for keys. A

1399
01:17:05.920 --> 01:17:08.199
century old uncle of mine is still around, a regular

1400
01:17:08.439 --> 01:17:12.720
hearty old perennial, absolutely wild about outdoor living, spends all

1401
01:17:12.760 --> 01:17:17.079
his time haunting the garden like a century plant.

1402
01:17:18.000 --> 01:17:19.840
Yeah, we watering planet to day.

1403
01:17:22.840 --> 01:17:25.039
And I alad who hasn't gone a dale listen to

1404
01:17:25.159 --> 01:17:28.760
eighty fifth birthday, just as if time had stopped for

1405
01:17:30.199 --> 01:17:35.079
confidentially it did, and he died promptly at the stroke

1406
01:17:35.159 --> 01:17:36.039
of eighty five.

1407
01:17:44.760 --> 01:17:48.840
Tonight's Inner Sanctum mystery Murder Comes to Life was written

1408
01:17:48.880 --> 01:17:52.159
by John Robert and stars Charles Irving and the role

1409
01:17:52.199 --> 01:17:55.439
of John, with Santa Sortega as sorrowful.

1410
01:17:59.560 --> 01:18:04.840
And for our weekly dizzy spell. We're aboard a ship,

1411
01:18:05.479 --> 01:18:10.239
the SS Monterey, entering San Francisco Harbor. A long deckhand

1412
01:18:10.359 --> 01:18:14.920
leans over the rail, brooding into the farm. He tenses suddenly,

1413
01:18:15.479 --> 01:18:18.239
as if keying his ears and mind to a sound.

1414
01:18:18.000 --> 01:18:24.479
In the sea. Jean Leplank. Jean Leplank.

1415
01:18:25.479 --> 01:18:28.279
The seaman shakes his head as if the name glances

1416
01:18:28.359 --> 01:18:31.880
off him meaninglessly. He moves a hand across his face,

1417
01:18:32.640 --> 01:18:36.079
as if removing mists that cloud his vision, as if

1418
01:18:36.199 --> 01:18:40.039
desperately anxious to accept the identity Jean la Blank as

1419
01:18:40.079 --> 01:18:40.479
his own.

1420
01:18:42.279 --> 01:18:46.760
Charl La Blank. Here is it my name? The name

1421
01:18:46.840 --> 01:18:50.560
I forgot long ago and I fell a pint. And

1422
01:18:50.720 --> 01:18:53.199
if it is my name, why can't I accept it?

1423
01:18:53.279 --> 01:18:56.000
And believe it. Why do I insist I'm someone else

1424
01:18:56.079 --> 01:19:01.520
and run? Sean L. Blank. I've gone throughty years.

1425
01:19:01.600 --> 01:19:04.760
The names pursue me, demanding that I stand my ground

1426
01:19:04.840 --> 01:19:10.680
and face it. Everywhere Lisbon, Bombay, Tripply and the last time,

1427
01:19:11.920 --> 01:19:14.880
the last time in the bar in an island port

1428
01:19:15.239 --> 01:19:21.319
were forgotten. Men drift to forget. Hello, John le Blanc,

1429
01:19:21.680 --> 01:19:24.920
her name wherever I go, I hear it. Wherever I go,

1430
01:19:25.079 --> 01:19:28.199
it whisper present me, shouts at me. It's strives me crazy.

1431
01:19:28.239 --> 01:19:31.760
It's your name, mister, running from it. We'll get you

1432
01:19:31.880 --> 01:19:36.560
nowhere here, Jean la Blank. But I'm belmar My name

1433
01:19:36.680 --> 01:19:42.359
is Belmarre. Jean le Blank, San Francisco, USA. You've been

1434
01:19:42.399 --> 01:19:44.399
shuttling from island to island on the bum, like a

1435
01:19:44.439 --> 01:19:49.119
man without a country, but yours, Jean la Blank, San Francisco, USA.

1436
01:19:50.359 --> 01:19:52.279
You're as sure as that I ought to be.

1437
01:19:54.239 --> 01:19:57.720
We've traveled around the world and back together. You step ahead,

1438
01:19:57.760 --> 01:20:00.880
slippers and eel, and me on your tail. You've been

1439
01:20:01.279 --> 01:20:06.079
following me, you say, like grim dead. Why fifty thousand

1440
01:20:06.159 --> 01:20:09.279
dollars that's the price you'll fetch.

1441
01:20:10.359 --> 01:20:11.960
Look, look where we are.

1442
01:20:12.600 --> 01:20:14.960
You've got to stop following, sure, I'll stop the blank.

1443
01:20:15.840 --> 01:20:18.920
Would you stop running? I'll make you stop if I

1444
01:20:19.000 --> 01:20:24.800
have to kill you. A gun huh, your grease lightning

1445
01:20:24.880 --> 01:20:28.920
on the draw a killer if you only had what

1446
01:20:29.039 --> 01:20:34.119
it takes to pull a trigger. Go on, try and

1447
01:20:34.239 --> 01:20:44.039
pull the trigger. I can't, can't. My fingers a number.

1448
01:20:46.079 --> 01:20:50.119
It's just if they were asleep yellow when the chip

1449
01:20:50.159 --> 01:20:50.800
sat down.

1450
01:20:51.239 --> 01:20:55.760
It's just as you've always been. But my fingers aren't numb.

1451
01:20:55.960 --> 01:20:56.760
Here's proof.

1452
01:20:58.680 --> 01:21:01.800
It was an iron bar actually against my skull, A

1453
01:21:01.920 --> 01:21:04.239
hole open in the earth, and I plunged through it.

1454
01:21:11.920 --> 01:21:15.399
I came to with the moon on my face, the

1455
01:21:15.479 --> 01:21:16.439
wind in my ears.

1456
01:21:18.479 --> 01:21:22.439
I was in an open field, in an abandoned quarry,

1457
01:21:22.960 --> 01:21:24.359
under a pile of rocks.

1458
01:21:26.079 --> 01:21:26.600
It was like.

1459
01:21:28.199 --> 01:21:29.319
Rising from the dead.

1460
01:21:31.439 --> 01:21:35.920
Shadowy figure was standing over me, a sour little guy

1461
01:21:37.000 --> 01:21:40.000
with a mournful look, as if he made a habit

1462
01:21:40.159 --> 01:21:46.239
of crying. I watched him remove the rocks covering me,

1463
01:21:47.560 --> 01:21:51.600
one by one, tossed them into a pile.

1464
01:21:53.319 --> 01:21:56.760
Out of an a chippy, a rat taching a cry

1465
01:21:56.880 --> 01:21:57.920
like you were allowed to junk.

1466
01:22:00.119 --> 01:22:04.720
How did it feel a week in my pins? If

1467
01:22:04.760 --> 01:22:09.840
I was just born, as if I've come back from

1468
01:22:09.880 --> 01:22:11.119
the dead, I'm.

1469
01:22:11.039 --> 01:22:13.960
Not kidding about as dead as any guy could get.

1470
01:22:15.600 --> 01:22:16.399
Who did it to me?

1471
01:22:17.399 --> 01:22:20.920
A legend on this much? It was a cup, the

1472
01:22:21.039 --> 01:22:22.760
retired cup cop.

1473
01:22:23.399 --> 01:22:26.640
Yeah, he said I was worth fifty thousand dollars to him?

1474
01:22:28.159 --> 01:22:28.800
What did he mean?

1475
01:22:29.279 --> 01:22:31.560
That's how much Jean le branc Is went to a cup.

1476
01:22:32.600 --> 01:22:35.159
Look right, don't just stop drifting from port to port

1477
01:22:35.319 --> 01:22:39.600
and face up to yourself. Call yourself by your right name.

1478
01:22:39.840 --> 01:22:41.680
But but I'm Belmar.

1479
01:22:42.800 --> 01:22:45.720
I'm known as Belmar. I ship as Belmar.

1480
01:22:46.079 --> 01:22:49.560
Your mind's still in the rut. Well, it's like that,

1481
01:22:49.720 --> 01:22:56.720
wearing a rut. We we go together, I cam and eggs.

1482
01:22:57.800 --> 01:22:59.199
Maybe you want to know where you picked up the

1483
01:22:59.279 --> 01:23:03.920
name Bellmar. No, I'm gonna tell you anyhow. See this

1484
01:23:04.079 --> 01:23:07.800
tin can. Yes, you land out of Frisco on a

1485
01:23:07.840 --> 01:23:11.199
ship that haul a cog with these tin cans canned fruit.

1486
01:23:12.000 --> 01:23:18.119
This one held apricots. Read the band name bell Ma, Yeah,

1487
01:23:19.199 --> 01:23:24.439
bell Ma, bell my fruits with your class has been

1488
01:23:24.479 --> 01:23:28.479
trying to cram himself into one empty fruit can. I

1489
01:23:28.560 --> 01:23:30.399
could bust right out crying.

1490
01:23:31.640 --> 01:23:34.079
I mean so much to you.

1491
01:23:34.560 --> 01:23:37.720
I just dug out of that rock pile tonight, No,

1492
01:23:39.159 --> 01:23:39.960
how long for now?

1493
01:23:40.279 --> 01:23:41.399
But wait who are you?

1494
01:23:41.520 --> 01:23:42.159
You didn't tell me.

1495
01:23:43.119 --> 01:23:45.119
You used to call me Ben in the old days,

1496
01:23:46.039 --> 01:23:47.520
and you were the big boss and I was a

1497
01:23:47.640 --> 01:23:52.840
racket boy. Ben's name, sorrowful man.

1498
01:23:56.840 --> 01:24:00.880
He was gone. I was alone with the wind.

1499
01:24:03.000 --> 01:24:06.720
There was a batter tin can beside me, wearing a

1500
01:24:06.840 --> 01:24:16.279
label that read Elma. I went back to the club.

1501
01:24:16.359 --> 01:24:20.039
I'd blanked out him. There were questions I wanted answered,

1502
01:24:20.800 --> 01:24:21.800
want something, mister.

1503
01:24:24.119 --> 01:24:27.800
Do yes? Me surprised?

1504
01:24:28.159 --> 01:24:31.239
Who you were killed in here last night?

1505
01:24:31.560 --> 01:24:31.800
Sure?

1506
01:24:33.000 --> 01:24:37.159
Here I am my own ghost, eh and thin air?

1507
01:24:38.039 --> 01:24:42.640
Reach out and feel go on, popa, I feel what

1508
01:24:42.880 --> 01:24:46.439
you were. You were better than a doornads. Quit hoising

1509
01:24:46.479 --> 01:24:49.199
around and get down to cases. Who gave me the business? Look,

1510
01:24:49.199 --> 01:24:50.600
I don't want to get mixed, I asked, who gave

1511
01:24:50.600 --> 01:24:51.119
me the business?

1512
01:24:51.399 --> 01:24:51.520
Uh?

1513
01:24:52.479 --> 01:24:56.199
Tramp as far as I know, called himself Sandersen, like

1514
01:24:56.319 --> 01:24:57.479
he was a stranger on the island.

1515
01:24:57.479 --> 01:25:00.039
And who pronounced me dead old bailey? He said it

1516
01:25:00.079 --> 01:25:02.000
was a sort of unofficial carner here on the island.

1517
01:25:02.039 --> 01:25:03.920
And how is it I ended up in a stone quarry?

1518
01:25:04.359 --> 01:25:06.399
And how come the island police weren't notified of my

1519
01:25:07.159 --> 01:25:11.039
my murder? Nobody goes to please on this island. Old

1520
01:25:11.039 --> 01:25:13.119
Billy pronounced you're dead. Everybody looked the other way while

1521
01:25:13.159 --> 01:25:14.119
Sanderson carried.

1522
01:25:13.880 --> 01:25:16.760
Out the back door eats me.

1523
01:25:18.119 --> 01:25:19.239
You know, was stone dead?

1524
01:25:19.359 --> 01:25:19.640
Rightly?

1525
01:25:19.760 --> 01:25:20.560
Is standing now?

1526
01:25:21.119 --> 01:25:25.399
Sorry, pall Sorry, I had to come back and spoil it.

1527
01:25:30.560 --> 01:25:33.439
I went looking for Old Bailey, the coroner.

1528
01:25:34.760 --> 01:25:37.960
I wondered to know why an unconscious man qualified with

1529
01:25:38.039 --> 01:25:42.680
him as a corpse ready for immediate burial. I found

1530
01:25:42.760 --> 01:25:45.680
him along the edge of the beach, living in a

1531
01:25:45.800 --> 01:25:49.279
shack built of packing cases and old strips of cardboard.

1532
01:25:50.640 --> 01:25:53.079
And the tide came in the ocean, soaked through the

1533
01:25:53.199 --> 01:25:56.920
sides and up through the floor. It was as if

1534
01:25:57.159 --> 01:26:00.640
Old Bailey wanted the shack to wash out to see.

1535
01:26:02.439 --> 01:26:04.159
The tide was in when I got.

1536
01:26:04.079 --> 01:26:10.840
There, Well, you're here, son, What brought you? You better

1537
01:26:11.000 --> 01:26:13.840
talk fast? The way the waves are coming will be

1538
01:26:14.039 --> 01:26:15.560
washing out to see you.

1539
01:26:15.960 --> 01:26:17.079
Want that to happen?

1540
01:26:17.359 --> 01:26:21.199
Is, of course precisely my idea in building here.

1541
01:26:22.560 --> 01:26:24.800
What brought you? You're not surprised to see me?

1542
01:26:24.960 --> 01:26:25.760
Why should I be?

1543
01:26:26.119 --> 01:26:30.159
You pronounced me dead last night. A mistake from the

1544
01:26:30.199 --> 01:26:32.640
look see, a mistake that almost buried.

1545
01:26:32.399 --> 01:26:33.039
Me for caps.

1546
01:26:33.199 --> 01:26:36.680
I'm ashamed of my incompetence but I promise you the

1547
01:26:36.800 --> 01:26:41.359
recall of your death certificate the very next time I lived.

1548
01:26:41.560 --> 01:26:44.800
Look, mister coroner, you know what dead man when you

1549
01:26:44.880 --> 01:26:48.720
see one. My idea is that somebody hired you to

1550
01:26:48.800 --> 01:26:53.680
pronounce me dead, baby, and maybe not quite wrigling. How

1551
01:26:53.720 --> 01:26:56.239
much did you get to pronounce me dead? Barely enough

1552
01:26:56.359 --> 01:26:57.640
to free myself of death?

1553
01:26:57.720 --> 01:26:58.560
I ask how much.

1554
01:27:00.119 --> 01:27:00.159
Me?

1555
01:27:00.479 --> 01:27:03.479
Fifty dollars from who wanted my death certificate?

1556
01:27:03.560 --> 01:27:08.039
And why now you're asking an old sinner to play informer.

1557
01:27:09.039 --> 01:27:11.319
I'm not asking, Bailey.

1558
01:27:12.520 --> 01:27:19.079
You're demanding on pain of death. You overestimate the price

1559
01:27:19.159 --> 01:27:20.399
and put on my life.

1560
01:27:20.840 --> 01:27:24.560
We'll see, we'll see if we can push the price out,

1561
01:27:25.479 --> 01:27:26.039
you'll lose.

1562
01:27:26.600 --> 01:27:30.279
But that death certificate from you, how do you please

1563
01:27:31.399 --> 01:27:37.000
the lord? Huh, you're losing your life.

1564
01:27:38.319 --> 01:27:49.199
Some the sea tours when the paper hunting over ranus,

1565
01:27:49.600 --> 01:27:50.680
I've heard it full at me.

1566
01:27:51.279 --> 01:27:54.239
I was being shunting in the middle, horrible.

1567
01:28:09.439 --> 01:28:10.000
I came to.

1568
01:28:11.640 --> 01:28:16.319
Buying face up on the beach. The storm was over

1569
01:28:17.000 --> 01:28:22.039
and tide was hot. Old Bailey was gone, and in

1570
01:28:22.159 --> 01:28:25.760
his paper hot too. I could see the wreckage way

1571
01:28:25.840 --> 01:28:30.439
in the distance. Riding the ocean swell, I was half

1572
01:28:30.600 --> 01:28:34.560
dead but alive a miracle.

1573
01:28:35.319 --> 01:28:38.680
I gotta keep you alive and going. Boss, Well had

1574
01:28:38.720 --> 01:28:42.279
happened on the blame for the condition you're in, You're

1575
01:28:42.359 --> 01:28:45.399
the blame. Oh it was me who beat you over

1576
01:28:45.439 --> 01:28:49.680
the head and sent your mind wandering. Yep, I really

1577
01:28:49.720 --> 01:28:50.520
want to know about it.

1578
01:28:51.079 --> 01:28:53.920
Yes, what was your last day in Friscoe?

1579
01:28:54.760 --> 01:28:57.520
The cops who are around our hideout setting up machine guns,

1580
01:28:57.920 --> 01:28:59.960
toss and take ass, but them's all ready to close

1581
01:29:00.079 --> 01:29:02.359
him with the pinch. The only way out was to

1582
01:29:02.439 --> 01:29:08.239
shoot our way out. And you can't remember anything by yourself?

1583
01:29:09.920 --> 01:29:15.119
Well, oh, I try, but something gets in my ways,

1584
01:29:15.680 --> 01:29:17.319
solid jumble in my mind.

1585
01:29:17.600 --> 01:29:19.680
I was the only one doing any shooting on our side.

1586
01:29:20.119 --> 01:29:22.319
You were blowing your top, screaming like a crazy man,

1587
01:29:22.640 --> 01:29:26.720
gun fright, and always gave you the willies. I slug

1588
01:29:26.760 --> 01:29:28.800
you to shut you out. Later I got you out

1589
01:29:28.840 --> 01:29:31.359
and smuggled the two of us apport a ship. It

1590
01:29:31.520 --> 01:29:34.439
was a fighter carrying fruit canes with the name Belmar

1591
01:29:34.520 --> 01:29:40.439
on him and and Blank could get away. I call

1592
01:29:40.520 --> 01:29:45.560
it quits, Just get away and lay low jew Blank there.

1593
01:29:47.359 --> 01:29:54.279
Powerful, Yeah, tell me what was your John Leblank like

1594
01:29:55.359 --> 01:29:59.439
before he began to scream last day in Frisco.

1595
01:30:00.960 --> 01:30:04.039
Top man of the World. You had the world in

1596
01:30:04.119 --> 01:30:06.920
your best pocket. Bush, you were the Jesse James. I

1597
01:30:06.920 --> 01:30:10.079
don't read about it as a kid, only better the

1598
01:30:10.239 --> 01:30:11.720
stuff you pull that Frisco on.

1599
01:30:11.840 --> 01:30:15.199
It's ere what sort of stuff.

1600
01:30:15.680 --> 01:30:18.079
Banks mu Seem's mail trucks.

1601
01:30:18.239 --> 01:30:21.600
Just fifed No murder.

1602
01:30:21.920 --> 01:30:24.399
Murder was a rub. Like I said, guns gave you

1603
01:30:24.439 --> 01:30:25.319
the willings.

1604
01:30:26.000 --> 01:30:30.800
At last day in Fisco police had a hideouts around it.

1605
01:30:30.920 --> 01:30:34.479
You said, how did they get that close?

1606
01:30:35.239 --> 01:30:37.239
That's a question. I was waiting for you to get

1607
01:30:37.279 --> 01:30:41.039
around it. They were tipped up by a still picture

1608
01:30:41.119 --> 01:30:45.800
named Queenie Simpson. The job you mucked on Queeney still

1609
01:30:45.920 --> 01:30:48.039
needs to be done if you ever want to go home.

1610
01:30:49.199 --> 01:30:53.720
Oh, it's a lot to remember all once luck to

1611
01:30:53.920 --> 01:30:54.920
a minute, you.

1612
01:30:54.960 --> 01:30:57.520
Mean, it's a lot to believe. You think maybe I'm

1613
01:30:57.560 --> 01:31:00.319
working a gag, but I'm trying to swing in calling

1614
01:31:00.359 --> 01:31:04.439
yourself Jean le blank and waiting for a fall guy. Okay,

1615
01:31:06.239 --> 01:31:10.359
we'll find things out your own way. I'll be around.

1616
01:31:18.920 --> 01:31:23.239
So I went about finding things out my own way.

1617
01:31:24.560 --> 01:31:27.960
I went looking for Sanderson to double check on why

1618
01:31:28.119 --> 01:31:30.840
he broke my head so that a phony death certificate

1619
01:31:30.880 --> 01:31:34.840
could be issued in the name of Jean LeBlanc. I

1620
01:31:34.960 --> 01:31:38.159
found him camped in a hobo jungle fifty yards away

1621
01:31:38.199 --> 01:31:39.399
from a railroad embankment.

1622
01:31:41.000 --> 01:31:41.760
Le Blank.

1623
01:31:43.239 --> 01:31:46.840
Back from the can it You never killed me. I

1624
01:31:46.920 --> 01:31:49.920
didn't know you just thought you did. I only passed

1625
01:31:49.960 --> 01:31:56.039
out and you buried me alive. I'm disappointed, not too much.

1626
01:31:56.199 --> 01:32:01.840
Maybe you're worth fifty thousand dollars in reward money dead

1627
01:32:02.159 --> 01:32:08.560
or alive. Yeah, this will restore your memory. It was

1628
01:32:08.600 --> 01:32:13.159
a police notice offering a fifty thousand dollars reward for

1629
01:32:13.279 --> 01:32:20.960
the capture of Jean le Blank, dead or alive. I

1630
01:32:21.079 --> 01:32:24.520
get your death certificate, angle, Sanderson. With me dead, it

1631
01:32:24.520 --> 01:32:27.039
would have been easier for you, no carting me back.

1632
01:32:27.520 --> 01:32:31.000
Just show that death certificate Old Dailey issued and collect.

1633
01:32:31.039 --> 01:32:35.439
Anyhow, if you live, that wouldn't be a thread with

1634
01:32:36.399 --> 01:32:39.760
a death notice. Who's going to die?

1635
01:32:39.880 --> 01:32:40.000
Now?

1636
01:32:41.479 --> 01:32:50.159
You of strangulation. I don't worry you, not a bit.

1637
01:32:51.479 --> 01:32:53.840
I told you last night you weren't to kill a type.

1638
01:32:54.920 --> 01:32:56.760
You're threatened, then you run.

1639
01:32:56.920 --> 01:33:00.520
That I've changed, Sanderson. I stopped running thanks to you.

1640
01:33:01.520 --> 01:33:02.039
Thanks to me.

1641
01:33:02.239 --> 01:33:04.560
Hey, you opened my head last night in the fears,

1642
01:33:04.680 --> 01:33:07.760
ran out and I facing to myself. Now, I don't

1643
01:33:07.800 --> 01:33:10.439
cry baby anymore. I'm not the killer type, and I

1644
01:33:10.520 --> 01:33:14.159
am here. You will laugh until I flow a field.

1645
01:33:16.199 --> 01:33:18.600
I had the strings of one hundred men of minds.

1646
01:33:18.880 --> 01:33:25.439
My fingers were steel blood, have a chance, And I

1647
01:33:25.600 --> 01:33:28.079
struggled a black, patchy war of a one eye slipped.

1648
01:33:28.800 --> 01:33:32.039
I was staring into an empty eye socket, looking for

1649
01:33:32.159 --> 01:33:35.239
the last glimpse of myself that would finally stitch broken

1650
01:33:35.279 --> 01:33:37.000
fragments together into a single piece.

1651
01:33:37.560 --> 01:33:39.000
Who was I really?

1652
01:33:39.159 --> 01:33:40.720
And what was I all about?

1653
01:33:42.960 --> 01:33:54.000
I saw nothing in that empty eye socket. I sat

1654
01:33:54.079 --> 01:34:01.800
around with Sanderson, fascinated by the face of death, waiting

1655
01:34:02.159 --> 01:34:04.119
for sorrowful's approval.

1656
01:34:04.760 --> 01:34:06.199
The nice night's worked for us.

1657
01:34:07.359 --> 01:34:10.680
What did you kill him with my bare hands? I

1658
01:34:10.840 --> 01:34:12.720
strangled him with my bare hands.

1659
01:34:13.920 --> 01:34:18.079
We're better, all right. Takes care of job number one.

1660
01:34:19.119 --> 01:34:23.199
Job number two is Queenie Simpson.

1661
01:34:23.680 --> 01:34:28.279
Nobody else this time with a gun?

1662
01:34:29.560 --> 01:34:35.880
Sure, with a gun this time. Where do I find

1663
01:34:36.319 --> 01:34:37.399
Queenie Simpson?

1664
01:34:37.960 --> 01:34:41.560
Well, she's always been the Wonderland. Okay, she works a

1665
01:34:41.600 --> 01:34:44.479
shuting gallery there it was. She always have kill her?

1666
01:34:44.560 --> 01:34:46.720
And you've got the cups up a tree. She's ther

1667
01:34:46.760 --> 01:34:49.279
only witness against you. He'll her and you're the reck

1668
01:34:49.319 --> 01:34:52.000
at king of Frisco again, with the town eating out

1669
01:34:52.000 --> 01:34:52.680
of your hand.

1670
01:34:53.439 --> 01:35:01.760
San Francisco. It's been a long way around getting home, sorrowful.

1671
01:35:13.000 --> 01:35:18.239
I've come back to a forgotten word, halfway around the

1672
01:35:18.359 --> 01:35:28.520
globe to murder a forgotten woman. The Wonderland Arcade is

1673
01:35:28.600 --> 01:35:32.760
a honky tonk strip as a flea circus, the wax Wicks,

1674
01:35:33.159 --> 01:35:38.520
a piano somewhere beating out ragtime, and Queenie Simpson's shooting gallery.

1675
01:35:39.720 --> 01:35:44.079
I'm waiting, keeping out of sight, watching until Queenie Simpson

1676
01:35:44.279 --> 01:35:46.199
is between customers.

1677
01:35:49.760 --> 01:35:52.239
What's the tab for a rifle load? Sister?

1678
01:35:53.479 --> 01:35:54.319
So I all shot?

1679
01:35:54.760 --> 01:35:55.239
Crowd up?

1680
01:35:56.239 --> 01:35:59.920
It's cheap enough. Watch me shoot?

1681
01:36:00.079 --> 01:36:03.800
Ye oh.

1682
01:36:05.239 --> 01:36:06.000
Yeah, pretty good.

1683
01:36:07.199 --> 01:36:07.560
Thanks.

1684
01:36:09.600 --> 01:36:16.560
I'm even better for the revolver. What would it take

1685
01:36:16.840 --> 01:36:20.119
to coax you to get up against that target?

1686
01:36:22.520 --> 01:36:26.479
I'd say you got the coaxer right in your hand.

1687
01:36:27.800 --> 01:36:32.760
Jean sure, Sean, Who.

1688
01:36:34.119 --> 01:36:35.319
Jean le Blanc?

1689
01:36:37.039 --> 01:36:40.479
I've been expecting you to call sometimes.

1690
01:36:40.279 --> 01:36:42.479
You're sure I'm Jean le Blanc.

1691
01:36:42.960 --> 01:36:44.359
Must be Jean le Blanc.

1692
01:36:45.079 --> 01:36:47.079
Only Jean le Blanc would come to kill me.

1693
01:36:47.279 --> 01:36:49.159
Why I tipped off the cops?

1694
01:36:49.159 --> 01:36:49.920
Tell him all about you?

1695
01:36:50.039 --> 01:36:50.199
Why?

1696
01:36:50.840 --> 01:36:51.239
What game?

1697
01:36:51.279 --> 01:36:51.960
Are we playing now?

1698
01:36:52.479 --> 01:36:53.279
Hi, double crossing?

1699
01:36:53.319 --> 01:36:53.920
Your here to kill me?

1700
01:36:54.239 --> 01:36:55.119
Now, let's get it over with.

1701
01:36:56.800 --> 01:36:58.920
You've got eleven shots left.

1702
01:37:03.399 --> 01:37:09.359
She's up against the target, indifferent to her fate. I

1703
01:37:09.560 --> 01:37:15.359
stare at her, and then I lose her. My gun

1704
01:37:15.479 --> 01:37:19.119
drops to my side. I can't shoot. My fears are back.

1705
01:37:19.800 --> 01:37:22.720
I'm choked up with here, with fear that drove me

1706
01:37:22.880 --> 01:37:23.920
across the world.

1707
01:37:25.560 --> 01:37:30.000
Sorrowful, Yeah me still, Johnny on the spot. Go ahead,

1708
01:37:30.119 --> 01:37:32.880
pull that trigger till double crosses.

1709
01:37:34.199 --> 01:37:38.279
I can't pull the triggers.

1710
01:37:38.640 --> 01:37:41.600
Don't turn yell and now you come back a long way.

1711
01:37:42.560 --> 01:37:44.800
Pull that trigger and you're the big horse again.

1712
01:37:46.079 --> 01:37:46.640
I can't.

1713
01:37:46.760 --> 01:37:47.439
I can't.

1714
01:37:47.600 --> 01:37:50.600
My fingers and numb, my hands feel dead.

1715
01:37:50.760 --> 01:37:51.880
Are stuck along with you?

1716
01:37:52.479 --> 01:37:52.960
Call Dad?

1717
01:37:53.039 --> 01:37:53.960
You a mile an island.

1718
01:37:54.239 --> 01:37:54.680
I wanted to.

1719
01:37:54.880 --> 01:37:56.439
You're worried about your with me to come out of

1720
01:37:56.439 --> 01:37:57.199
a breach storm.

1721
01:37:57.760 --> 01:37:58.640
But now it's over.

1722
01:38:00.039 --> 01:38:02.640
Once that for all. Are you gonna make like Charlotte

1723
01:38:02.640 --> 01:38:06.199
Blake and pull that trigger? I can't.

1724
01:38:06.319 --> 01:38:10.399
I'm Jean le Blake, but I can't measure up to

1725
01:38:10.560 --> 01:38:11.520
what you expect.

1726
01:38:11.680 --> 01:38:23.640
I'm afraid, sorrowful shot Queenie as surely as I couldn't.

1727
01:38:25.640 --> 01:38:28.840
I watch her stiff, and while a red stain on

1728
01:38:28.960 --> 01:38:32.840
her dress over her heart spins and spins into a

1729
01:38:33.000 --> 01:38:36.600
wider and wider circa.

1730
01:38:39.319 --> 01:38:42.239
There was somebody in my book once the blind.

1731
01:38:42.800 --> 01:38:43.800
Don't blame me, sir.

1732
01:38:45.439 --> 01:38:49.880
You build a statue in your mind, and now it

1733
01:38:50.640 --> 01:38:52.840
turns out it's only a clay statue.

1734
01:38:54.520 --> 01:38:57.119
Uh, police cars, hear the signs.

1735
01:38:58.119 --> 01:39:02.079
Take one more shots, sorrowful me, shoot your statue down

1736
01:39:02.119 --> 01:39:03.159
before the police come.

1737
01:39:04.000 --> 01:39:04.439
I can't.

1738
01:39:04.600 --> 01:39:07.640
I must. Either way I die, but I'd rather it

1739
01:39:07.840 --> 01:39:13.520
was you this way. I won't die, screaming shoe, sorrowful.

1740
01:39:13.880 --> 01:39:27.560
Please, I'm on the ground, staring up the sorrowful, staring

1741
01:39:27.640 --> 01:39:30.319
at the uniformed police.

1742
01:39:33.000 --> 01:39:39.119
Here here in the corner of whose eye, as if

1743
01:39:39.199 --> 01:39:43.560
he's crying on a crying jag. You'll never come out.

1744
01:39:46.840 --> 01:39:47.239
It was.

1745
01:39:50.319 --> 01:39:57.199
Shaking head, bewildered. He still can't get it through his head.

1746
01:39:58.479 --> 01:40:04.279
At the statue, he sean le Blank never resembled the

1747
01:40:04.439 --> 01:40:23.079
man even a little bit, Oh poor la Blank. Even

1748
01:40:23.159 --> 01:40:26.279
now with his worries over, he's having himself a fit.

1749
01:40:27.520 --> 01:40:28.560
Ties four by six.

1750
01:40:28.640 --> 01:40:32.479
The cat could make a test me that old Bailey

1751
01:40:32.640 --> 01:40:36.840
fifty bucks in your pronuncia dead any old time, even

1752
01:40:36.880 --> 01:40:43.680
if it cuos I hear he's doing shady business as usual.

1753
01:40:44.600 --> 01:40:50.159
His shingles hang on David Jones's locker, his engraved invitations

1754
01:40:50.199 --> 01:40:55.119
to please call read dropping any old crime.

1755
01:41:00.039 --> 01:41:07.319
Yeh Inner.

1756
01:41:07.439 --> 01:41:09.840
Sanctum is heard each week in the United States over

1757
01:41:09.960 --> 01:41:14.199
CBS the Columbia Broadcasting System, and has been rebroadcast for

1758
01:41:14.319 --> 01:41:17.840
servicemen and women overseas through the facilities of the United

1759
01:41:17.880 --> 01:41:21.880
States Armed Forces Radio Service, The Voice of Information and Education.

1760
01:41:22.479 --> 01:41:39.319
M m hmmm mm hmmm, h m hm h m

1761
01:41:39.479 --> 01:41:59.159
hmmmmmm h m hmmmmmm hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

1762
01:42:40.880 --> 01:42:44.319
Please please put your feet up. That is my favorite chair,

1763
01:42:44.399 --> 01:42:47.520
one of my most prized possessions. Oh no, no, no no.

1764
01:42:48.199 --> 01:42:52.439
My point is it's good to share in such things,

1765
01:42:53.000 --> 01:42:58.600
to enjoy such things. To see others enjoy them is

1766
01:42:58.680 --> 01:43:02.560
almost as good as enjoying yourself, at least when they're

1767
01:43:02.600 --> 01:43:06.520
a good friend like you. Oh what's that?

1768
01:43:07.239 --> 01:43:08.279
Oh no, no no.

1769
01:43:09.560 --> 01:43:12.359
I may not have much, but I have quality, and

1770
01:43:12.479 --> 01:43:14.680
that's always been better than in quantity.

1771
01:43:15.920 --> 01:43:16.199
M hm.

1772
01:43:17.000 --> 01:43:21.239
This tea is hot good. We're going to need it

1773
01:43:22.000 --> 01:43:28.760

1774
01:43:28.840 --> 01:43:31.600

01:44:56.600 --> 01:44:58.119
you in suspense.

1796
01:45:02.159 --> 01:45:05.000
All right, all right, quiet down, I want to hear

1797
01:45:05.039 --> 01:45:11.159
this guy's story. Go ahead, Bland, No, why waste any

more time, because I'm going to hear your version of

1799
01:45:13.560 --> 01:45:15.479
what happened. I'm going to hear it now.

1800
01:45:16.119 --> 01:45:18.960
Listen, lieutenant, less than two hours ago, I was ready

1801
01:45:19.000 --> 01:45:21.279
to kill myself. Do you think I'm going to spend

1802
01:45:21.319 --> 01:45:23.319
any time now trying to convince you I ought to live?

1803
01:45:23.920 --> 01:45:26.479
What difference does it make? Come on, let's get out

1804
01:45:26.520 --> 01:45:26.720
of here.

1805
01:45:26.920 --> 01:45:29.800
Let's have the story. I don't get it.

1806
01:45:30.319 --> 01:45:31.640
You're not going to believe any part of it, and

1807
01:45:31.680 --> 01:45:33.760
you know it. So far as you're concerned, I'm already

1808
01:45:33.760 --> 01:45:34.199
in the chair.

1809
01:45:34.399 --> 01:45:36.920
We'll see. Go on with the story.

1810
01:45:37.760 --> 01:45:39.560
Do you believe that tonight I was standing on top

1811
01:45:39.560 --> 01:45:41.720
of the railing of the Grand Street Bridge, ready to jump?

1812
01:45:42.000 --> 01:45:43.039
Do you no?

1813
01:45:43.640 --> 01:45:46.560
No, of course you don't. All right, keep going, let's

1814
01:45:46.560 --> 01:45:54.079
hear it all. Well, that's where I was, and that's

1815
01:45:54.119 --> 01:45:54.880
what I was about to do.

1816
01:45:56.439 --> 01:46:00.439
Do you know how it feels, lieutenant, standing there then

1817
01:46:00.479 --> 01:46:03.840
all of a sudden making your decision. I didn't worry

1818
01:46:03.880 --> 01:46:06.720
too much about being seen. It was too late at

1819
01:46:06.800 --> 01:46:10.680
night and the mist was too heavy. I looked down

1820
01:46:10.680 --> 01:46:15.039
at the black water. Then I closed my eyes. I

1821
01:46:15.159 --> 01:46:18.920
caught my breath, and then then the headlights hit me.

1822
01:46:24.319 --> 01:46:26.760
And the next second I knew the driver had seen me.

1823
01:46:27.880 --> 01:46:30.840
I heard the car stop and the door open. I

1824
01:46:30.880 --> 01:46:33.199
couldn't move, I couldn't jump on over, and I couldn't

1825
01:46:33.199 --> 01:46:36.039
climb back down. I just stood there and listened to

1826
01:46:36.079 --> 01:46:37.520
the footsteps come toward me.

1827
01:46:37.760 --> 01:46:38.319
And then stop.

1828
01:46:39.520 --> 01:46:40.640
What do you think you're doing?

1829
01:46:41.319 --> 01:46:41.720
A woman?

1830
01:46:42.399 --> 01:46:44.039
Footsteps should have told me that, but they didn't.

1831
01:46:44.359 --> 01:46:46.359
I wonder if you know how silly you look pitched

1832
01:46:46.439 --> 01:46:46.760
up there?

1833
01:46:47.439 --> 01:46:50.439
I got my first good look at her, then dark hair,

1834
01:46:50.720 --> 01:46:53.880
about thirty and yeah, a knockout.

1835
01:46:54.159 --> 01:46:55.880
Come on, come on down.

1836
01:46:56.560 --> 01:46:58.039
Why don't you get back in your car and go

1837
01:46:58.159 --> 01:46:58.960
on about your business.

1838
01:46:59.039 --> 01:47:01.439
I'm waiting for you to come down, for else to

1839
01:47:01.520 --> 01:47:05.800
jump over. That's right, gesture as big as that deserves

1840
01:47:05.800 --> 01:47:14.119
an audience. I'll see that you have one. Well I'm waiting. Ah,

1841
01:47:15.199 --> 01:47:16.000
that's more like it.

1842
01:47:16.359 --> 01:47:17.880
Okay, the place is yours?

1843
01:47:17.880 --> 01:47:19.800
No, no, wait, don't you understand I want to help you?

1844
01:47:20.399 --> 01:47:23.279
Why what difference does it make to you?

1845
01:47:23.399 --> 01:47:24.319
Yeah, let's get in the car.

1846
01:47:24.680 --> 01:47:27.680
There's nothing you or anybody else can do. Can't you

1847
01:47:27.800 --> 01:47:28.079
see I?

1848
01:47:28.359 --> 01:47:32.359
Oh you're tired, aren't you? How long have you been walking? H?

1849
01:47:33.800 --> 01:47:36.199
I don't know ours?

1850
01:47:36.600 --> 01:47:39.199
I guess, then, come on, at least I can give

1851
01:47:39.239 --> 01:47:40.520
you a lift to your next bridge.

1852
01:47:44.920 --> 01:47:48.399
I can't explain it, but I guess I just didn't

1853
01:47:48.439 --> 01:47:51.960
have much fight left in me. Because there I was

1854
01:47:52.319 --> 01:47:55.199
driving on off the bridge, and all of a sudden

1855
01:47:55.239 --> 01:47:59.039
I found myself spilling the whole thing. I told her

1856
01:47:59.079 --> 01:48:01.720
how a certain pallem I juggle the company books, my

1857
01:48:01.800 --> 01:48:04.359
books as well as his, about how he could never

1858
01:48:04.439 --> 01:48:07.520
admit I was innocent because he dropped over dead this morning,

1859
01:48:08.319 --> 01:48:10.279
about how the auditors would be through by tomorrow and

1860
01:48:10.279 --> 01:48:11.359
I'd be up for embezzlement.

1861
01:48:12.359 --> 01:48:12.600
Yeah.

1862
01:48:13.399 --> 01:48:16.199
I can see by your face you think that old

1863
01:48:16.279 --> 01:48:21.880
corny story, but it's true. Well, I told her about it,

1864
01:48:22.279 --> 01:48:24.199
about how that would put me away for good, because

1865
01:48:24.199 --> 01:48:32.039
it would make my third conviction. Then I told her,

1866
01:48:32.439 --> 01:48:34.800
and I knew she wouldn't believe that either, but I

1867
01:48:34.960 --> 01:48:37.920
told her just the same. I was innocent of those

1868
01:48:38.039 --> 01:48:39.640
previous crimes, as innocent as.

1869
01:48:39.560 --> 01:48:42.239
I was of this one, innocent of all of them.

1870
01:48:42.319 --> 01:48:42.800
Is that right?

1871
01:48:43.680 --> 01:48:43.840
Yes?

1872
01:48:45.279 --> 01:48:48.159
Well, why don't you let me out here? Thanks very much?

1873
01:48:48.279 --> 01:48:48.479
Wait?

1874
01:48:48.640 --> 01:48:51.840
Wait, that money they think you took, wouldn't it help

1875
01:48:51.880 --> 01:48:53.520
if you could somehow make it good?

1876
01:48:54.399 --> 01:48:54.680
Sure?

1877
01:48:55.520 --> 01:48:55.640
All?

1878
01:48:55.680 --> 01:48:57.600
I gotta do is walk in tomorrow morning and plank

1879
01:48:57.640 --> 01:48:58.560
down a thousand.

1880
01:48:58.279 --> 01:49:01.079
Dollars, only a thousand, only one thousand.

1881
01:49:01.760 --> 01:49:03.600
And I've got four dollars and sixty two cents in

1882
01:49:03.680 --> 01:49:04.119
my pocket.

1883
01:49:04.720 --> 01:49:08.560
And there's someone I want you to meet, hight who

1884
01:49:09.039 --> 01:49:12.199
your future employer? I hope his name is Andrew.

1885
01:49:11.960 --> 01:49:15.920
Boudin Bodine vote a banker.

1886
01:49:16.119 --> 01:49:19.720
Yes, you see, I'm missus Bodine.

1887
01:49:20.119 --> 01:49:20.800
It won't work.

1888
01:49:21.199 --> 01:49:24.159
Are you no reason to say that? My husband has

1889
01:49:24.199 --> 01:49:25.479
helped hundreds of people?

1890
01:49:25.680 --> 01:49:26.520
It can't work.

1891
01:49:26.720 --> 01:49:28.279
The breaks I haven't getting will go right on, and

1892
01:49:28.319 --> 01:49:29.520
there's nothing you can do to stop them.

1893
01:49:30.399 --> 01:49:30.920
My like's over.

1894
01:49:31.000 --> 01:49:31.800
I tell you it's spent.

1895
01:49:32.079 --> 01:49:35.439
No no knock yet it isn't. And if you don't

1896
01:49:35.479 --> 01:49:39.840
want it, I'll take it, please, but just one hour,

1897
01:49:40.359 --> 01:49:44.000
sell me your life. What have you got to lose?

1898
01:49:52.560 --> 01:49:55.119
She took me into the Bodine place, and we came

1899
01:49:55.199 --> 01:49:58.399
straight to the library. Here, that's where mister Bodine would be,

1900
01:49:58.720 --> 01:50:03.199
she said. But then when she opened the door, I

1901
01:50:03.479 --> 01:50:06.840
saw a young looking guy. He was over there working

1902
01:50:06.880 --> 01:50:07.359
at the desk.

1903
01:50:07.399 --> 01:50:09.119
Oh, I'm sorry, mister far Day. It was just that

1904
01:50:09.199 --> 01:50:10.399
I expected my husband.

1905
01:50:10.600 --> 01:50:14.159
Oh, another one of those conferences. I'm afraid he was

1906
01:50:14.239 --> 01:50:15.680
called away only a few moments ago.

1907
01:50:15.800 --> 01:50:19.680
That's unfortunate. Oh, this is mister Fladay, my husband's secretary.

1908
01:50:19.760 --> 01:50:20.800
I don't know you well.

1909
01:50:20.920 --> 01:50:21.199
Thank you.

1910
01:50:22.039 --> 01:50:23.399
I don't believe I heard your name.

1911
01:50:23.640 --> 01:50:25.439
If you don't mind, mister Foday, I wonder if you'd

1912
01:50:25.479 --> 01:50:26.359
excuse us right.

1913
01:50:26.560 --> 01:50:30.239
Certainly, certainly, my work's pretty well cleared up anyway, Good night,

1914
01:50:30.359 --> 01:50:32.239
missus Brodin, good night.

1915
01:50:34.880 --> 01:50:36.680
See the fact that my husband isn't here right now

1916
01:50:36.800 --> 01:50:38.119
isn't really going to matter too much.

1917
01:50:39.479 --> 01:50:43.720
I'm appealing to you for help, appealing to me for help.

1918
01:50:43.920 --> 01:50:47.239
Yes, during the time you've been under sentence, you've naturally

1919
01:50:47.319 --> 01:50:52.159
had considerable contact with well criminals. I want you to

1920
01:50:52.279 --> 01:50:57.119
identify just such a person. I. Yes, I don't get

1921
01:50:57.199 --> 01:51:00.199
what my husband's life is in danger. I'm sure of it.

1922
01:51:00.920 --> 01:51:01.399
In danger.

1923
01:51:02.680 --> 01:51:05.560
No no, I shan't tell you whom I suspect. I

1924
01:51:05.640 --> 01:51:07.720
want you to find that out. I want you to

1925
01:51:07.800 --> 01:51:12.279
give me proof. Most important, I want you to give

1926
01:51:12.319 --> 01:51:17.199
my husband protection how by watching him, by observing everyone

1927
01:51:17.279 --> 01:51:24.159
who comes in contact with him. Are the casually or regularly? Oh? Yes,

1928
01:51:24.239 --> 01:51:25.680
would you just step over there to the desk?

1929
01:51:26.439 --> 01:51:26.479
No?

1930
01:51:26.600 --> 01:51:30.039
No, no, no, behind it now, that first drawer on

1931
01:51:30.119 --> 01:51:32.399
the left, Yes, that's it.

1932
01:51:33.279 --> 01:51:33.680
Open it.

1933
01:51:36.239 --> 01:51:36.359
Right.

1934
01:51:36.720 --> 01:51:39.720
It's skill full of bills, one hundred dollars bills.

1935
01:51:40.760 --> 01:51:44.079
My husband calls it his trust fund. It's always there

1936
01:51:44.119 --> 01:51:47.039
to help those he feels deserve help. Cut off ten

1937
01:51:47.079 --> 01:51:49.880
of them, please please go on right.

1938
01:51:51.720 --> 01:51:52.319
I can't do that.

1939
01:51:52.560 --> 01:51:56.560
It isn't charity in your case at salary, and it

1940
01:51:56.560 --> 01:51:58.479
will settle up that difficulty at your office, and I

1941
01:51:58.560 --> 01:52:00.960
want it. It doesn't. We can always add to it.

1942
01:52:02.039 --> 01:52:05.039
But but if you don't know anything about me, you

1943
01:52:05.079 --> 01:52:06.520
don't even know what's coming to that.

1944
01:52:07.319 --> 01:52:10.960
You'll probably start work for us tomorrow. And oh, oh yes,

1945
01:52:11.039 --> 01:52:13.880
here's a pad if you'll just jump down where we

1946
01:52:13.960 --> 01:52:15.880
can reach you your mind.

1947
01:52:16.880 --> 01:52:18.520
No, of course not.

1948
01:52:20.000 --> 01:52:24.439
It's the Rex Hotel. They've got a payphone in the lobby.

1949
01:52:25.439 --> 01:52:26.760
I put the number down there.

1950
01:52:27.079 --> 01:52:28.600
Good, that should do it.

1951
01:52:29.520 --> 01:52:33.399
Are you're forgetting something? Aren't you forgetting something? My name?

1952
01:52:34.479 --> 01:52:38.239
I put it down too, it's Bland, Joe Bland.

1953
01:52:38.600 --> 01:52:42.560
I'm happy to know you, Joe. Haven't you've forgotten something?

1954
01:52:43.159 --> 01:52:43.199
Me?

1955
01:52:44.680 --> 01:52:46.399
What a thousand dollars?

1956
01:52:51.319 --> 01:52:55.239
You're a wonderful person, missus Boudine. I wish I knew

1957
01:52:55.239 --> 01:52:55.800
how to thank you.

1958
01:52:56.399 --> 01:52:59.119
I'll tell you. Just stay alive.

1959
01:53:10.039 --> 01:53:13.560
I took the slow way home tonight, because, whether you

1960
01:53:13.640 --> 01:53:15.640
believe it or not, Vance, there was a lot of

1961
01:53:15.720 --> 01:53:19.199
thinking I wanted to do, mostly about that woman i'd met,

1962
01:53:20.359 --> 01:53:23.239
And while I was climbing upstairs to my room, I

1963
01:53:23.359 --> 01:53:28.199
realized what she'd really done. All because of her, I'd

1964
01:53:28.239 --> 01:53:31.720
sort of been born again. I let myself into my

1965
01:53:31.880 --> 01:53:38.239
room and switched on the overhead light. All right, Joe,

1966
01:53:39.319 --> 01:53:42.319
just put your hands up. There you were Vance sitting

1967
01:53:42.359 --> 01:53:45.439
in a chair across the room. I'd never seen you before.

1968
01:53:45.960 --> 01:53:51.760
That's it. I just keep him up a Dvance Police headquarters,

1969
01:53:52.239 --> 01:53:53.439
stand still while I check you.

1970
01:53:53.479 --> 01:53:55.680
Over the office.

1971
01:53:57.319 --> 01:54:01.239
I didn't think they'd get to that till tomorrow. That's so.

1972
01:54:03.640 --> 01:54:10.439
Here we are, a thousand bucks, serial number G six.

1973
01:54:10.920 --> 01:54:16.039
That's it, all right? Where's the rest? The rest? That's

1974
01:54:16.079 --> 01:54:16.520
all there is.

1975
01:54:16.640 --> 01:54:19.760
Eh, that's what I thought. It took you long enough

1976
01:54:19.800 --> 01:54:21.920
to get here and listen. I was going to turn

1977
01:54:21.960 --> 01:54:23.319
that over to the company in the morning.

1978
01:54:23.359 --> 01:54:23.840
The company.

1979
01:54:23.920 --> 01:54:24.399
What company?

1980
01:54:24.960 --> 01:54:25.000
What?

1981
01:54:26.199 --> 01:54:29.319
My company? Don't you know what you're talking about. Just

1982
01:54:29.359 --> 01:54:30.439
tell me where you put the gun.

1983
01:54:31.319 --> 01:54:34.600
The gun hid that too? Huh Wait a minute, I

1984
01:54:34.720 --> 01:54:35.600
never had any gun.

1985
01:54:36.439 --> 01:54:36.880
What is this?

1986
01:54:37.039 --> 01:54:39.119
I don't know what just you are as dumb as jack.

1987
01:54:40.119 --> 01:54:42.760
Anybody would leave his name, address, and phone number on

1988
01:54:42.880 --> 01:54:46.319
his victim's desk. Can't be very right. I just posted

1989
01:54:46.359 --> 01:54:48.920
a reward for the guy who robbed and then murdered

1990
01:54:48.920 --> 01:54:51.600
Andrew Bodine. Looks like I'm the guy who's going to

1991
01:54:51.600 --> 01:54:59.359
collect it. What Andrew Bodine murdered? As if you didn't know, sweetheart?

1992
01:55:00.079 --> 01:55:01.600
Come on, we're going back out there.

1993
01:55:10.039 --> 01:55:10.359
Tonight.

1994
01:55:10.439 --> 01:55:11.199
For suspense.

1995
01:55:11.399 --> 01:55:14.399
Roma Wines are bringing you a star, mister Lee Bowman,

1996
01:55:14.600 --> 01:55:17.000
whom you have heard in the first act of Sell

1997
01:55:17.079 --> 01:55:17.880
Me Your Life.

1998
01:55:18.000 --> 01:55:18.680
By emul C.

1999
01:55:18.840 --> 01:55:22.039
Tepperman to Night's Tale of Suspense.

2000
01:55:30.520 --> 01:55:34.119
This is Truman Bradley for Roma Wines. ELSA.

2001
01:55:34.239 --> 01:55:38.079
Maxwell is recognized internationally as an authority on gracious living.

2002
01:55:38.720 --> 01:55:40.640
You will be interested in something she said the other

2003
01:55:40.720 --> 01:55:43.560
day about wine and wartime food rationing.

2004
01:55:43.960 --> 01:55:44.239
Listen.

2005
01:55:44.720 --> 01:55:47.439
I find that people who know one simple secret of

2006
01:55:47.520 --> 01:55:51.640
serving delicious meals aren't bothered much by food rationing. That

2007
01:55:51.840 --> 01:55:56.199
secret is to enjoy good Roma wine with food. For instance,

2008
01:55:56.279 --> 01:55:59.079
I recently had dinner with some old friends. The main

2009
01:55:59.159 --> 01:56:02.159
dish was kidney bean casserole. And to give this simple

2010
01:56:02.239 --> 01:56:05.760
food a delightful party flavor. My host has served cool

2011
01:56:05.960 --> 01:56:11.079
Roma California Burgundy. Everyone remarked about its wonderful bouquet and aroma,

2012
01:56:11.560 --> 01:56:14.640
and about the way that good Roma Burgundy added enjoyment

2013
01:56:14.720 --> 01:56:17.880
to our plain meal. Such added enjoyment is one of

2014
01:56:17.920 --> 01:56:22.359
the reasons why more and more people serve delightful Roma wine.

2015
01:56:22.640 --> 01:56:26.239
That's a grand suggestion from Elsa Maxwell. So why not

2016
01:56:26.399 --> 01:56:30.680
try Roma California Burgundy with your dinner tomorrow night. You'll

2017
01:56:30.840 --> 01:56:35.319
enjoy its tart piquancy. It's fruity, robust taste, the happy

2018
01:56:35.399 --> 01:56:39.880
result of selecting luscious wine grapes from California's choicest vineyards,

2019
01:56:40.319 --> 01:56:43.439
guided to perfection by the ancient wine skill of Roma's

2020
01:56:43.520 --> 01:56:49.199
famed wineries. Good Roma wines never vary, They're always enjoyable,

2021
01:56:49.600 --> 01:56:54.760
yet cost only pennies a glass. Remember, more Americans enjoy

2022
01:56:54.920 --> 01:56:57.399
Roma than any other wine.

2023
01:56:58.239 --> 01:57:03.000
R O M A Roma wines. And now it is

2024
01:57:03.079 --> 01:57:05.640
with pleasure that we bring back to our sound stage.

2025
01:57:05.800 --> 01:57:08.720
Lee Bowman as Joe Bland, who has been saved from

2026
01:57:08.840 --> 01:57:12.720
death by suicide, only to face a murder charge, a

2027
01:57:12.840 --> 01:57:16.239
situation well calculated to keep you in suspense.

2028
01:57:22.880 --> 01:57:26.359
We came back here to the Bodine's library. The room

2029
01:57:26.479 --> 01:57:30.439
was packed, loaded with police and reporters. Was full of

2030
01:57:30.479 --> 01:57:33.399
Andrew Bodine too. He was stretched out behind the desk,

2031
01:57:33.920 --> 01:57:34.720
covered with a sheet.

2032
01:57:34.840 --> 01:57:37.079
Hey, Blan, look over this way right into the camera.

2033
01:57:37.720 --> 01:57:39.840
That's it about this guy's finger, Prince, Lieutenant.

2034
01:57:40.039 --> 01:57:42.079
We got him off his police record. Yeah, they masked

2035
01:57:42.079 --> 01:57:43.840
the prints on the desk drawer, all right where the

2036
01:57:43.880 --> 01:57:44.439
money wasn't me?

2037
01:57:44.960 --> 01:57:45.199
I know?

2038
01:57:45.520 --> 01:57:48.279
He admits taking the money, a thousand of it, says

2039
01:57:48.359 --> 01:57:52.119
Missus Boudin told him to take it. Anything else, Yeah,

2040
01:57:52.279 --> 01:57:54.560
admits he needed the dough. Says he's about to be

2041
01:57:54.840 --> 01:57:58.159
stuck on an embezzlement chart, as he admitted shooting Lincoln.

2042
01:57:58.239 --> 01:58:02.439
Yet looks like you. Oh here's that that secretary.

2043
01:58:02.119 --> 01:58:02.760
On four today.

2044
01:58:02.800 --> 01:58:03.600
We've been waiting for you.

2045
01:58:04.359 --> 01:58:07.520
I'm very sorry, Lieutenant, but I was with Missus Bodein.

2046
01:58:07.600 --> 01:58:11.439
She's rather hard hit. Yeah, here's the guy ident if I.

2047
01:58:12.319 --> 01:58:14.880
Well, I should be able to It was less than

2048
01:58:14.880 --> 01:58:16.399
an hour ago that I saw him here.

2049
01:58:16.960 --> 01:58:17.800
Yes, in this room.

2050
01:58:18.319 --> 01:58:19.520
He was with mister Boudeen.

2051
01:58:19.800 --> 01:58:24.439
Mister Bodeine, that's not quite you'll have your chance on

2052
01:58:24.640 --> 01:58:25.039
for today.

2053
01:58:25.359 --> 01:58:29.159
Well, mister Bodine was talking with him, trying to work

2054
01:58:29.199 --> 01:58:32.199
out some way to help him. Why you you probably

2055
01:58:32.279 --> 01:58:35.760
know of the old man's habit of picking up well bums,

2056
01:58:36.039 --> 01:58:38.399
giving them money, trying to get them work.

2057
01:58:38.720 --> 01:58:40.880
I'd want him time and time about that. Just go

2058
01:58:40.960 --> 01:58:41.560
on to the story.

2059
01:58:41.680 --> 01:58:43.560
Yeah, just go on with your lives. I tell you

2060
01:58:43.720 --> 01:58:45.800
to keep still, what for so we can fill up

2061
01:58:45.840 --> 01:58:49.680
that phony story. Listen, dance. I want to see missus Boudein.

2062
01:58:49.880 --> 01:58:51.359
She was with me all the time. I told you

2063
01:58:51.479 --> 01:58:53.840
that she can stop this whole thing in two minutes.

2064
01:58:54.600 --> 01:58:59.159
She she can. If Faraday here hasn't done something to her.

2065
01:59:00.520 --> 01:59:02.800
Why if this fellow must be insane, I want to

2066
01:59:02.800 --> 01:59:04.279
see missus Bodine now.

2067
01:59:04.600 --> 01:59:07.319
She's in no condition to be disturbed. Furthermore, she has

2068
01:59:07.359 --> 01:59:08.840
no connection whatever with this case.

2069
01:59:09.000 --> 01:59:10.720
Oh no, let me give you some advice.

2070
01:59:10.800 --> 01:59:11.000
Plan.

2071
01:59:11.239 --> 01:59:13.119
Keep your mouth shut until I tell you to talk.

2072
01:59:14.079 --> 01:59:18.359
Well, the old man, mister Bodein, asked me to leave

2073
01:59:18.399 --> 01:59:20.560
him alone, So I went right to my room down

2074
01:59:20.600 --> 01:59:23.960
the hall. There was nothing else I could do then. Well,

2075
01:59:24.319 --> 01:59:26.800
it must have been about fifteen minutes that I heard

2076
01:59:26.840 --> 01:59:30.560
a shot. I rushed in here, and and there was

2077
01:59:30.640 --> 01:59:31.399
mister Bodein.

2078
01:59:32.600 --> 01:59:37.319
He was dead. What about Bland gone? That's pretty fast.

2079
01:59:37.600 --> 01:59:39.840
Since you were only down the hall, you'd have seen him, lee,

2080
01:59:39.880 --> 01:59:40.279
wouldn't you.

2081
01:59:40.880 --> 01:59:42.520
Well not if he left by that window there, and

2082
01:59:42.560 --> 01:59:43.199
that's just what he did.

2083
01:59:43.239 --> 01:59:45.000
It was wide open, just as it is, nauser. No

2084
01:59:45.159 --> 01:59:48.439
sign of the gun, no nor the money, almost twenty

2085
01:59:48.560 --> 01:59:49.920
one thousand dollars missing.

2086
01:59:51.560 --> 01:59:54.479
You don't fool around, do you, Joe. You know something.

2087
01:59:54.880 --> 01:59:56.119
You're going to tell me where the rest of that

2088
01:59:56.239 --> 01:59:58.319
dough is. You can find that out from Farady.

2089
01:59:58.359 --> 02:00:00.359
You're also going to tell me about that gun. You

2090
02:00:00.399 --> 02:00:03.279
can also find that out from Fardy. Can't you see it?

2091
02:00:03.319 --> 02:00:03.920
He's the killer.

2092
02:00:03.960 --> 02:00:06.199
You can forget that right now. You're dead, Bland. You

2093
02:00:06.279 --> 02:00:07.880
haven't a chance. You haven't any kind of a case

2094
02:00:07.880 --> 02:00:10.760
at all. I got missus Bodine in here. You'll see

2095
02:00:10.800 --> 02:00:12.520
what kind of a case I have. You'll see what

2096
02:00:12.640 --> 02:00:14.680
kind of a case he's got to. I've had enough

2097
02:00:14.720 --> 02:00:14.840
of it.

2098
02:00:15.479 --> 02:00:16.279
I'll get her myself.

2099
02:00:17.399 --> 02:00:25.520
You're not going anywhere, Missus Boutein. Oh, dear, oh, Missus Boudein.

2100
02:00:25.720 --> 02:00:27.600
I didn't want you to be disturbed. Now, please please,

2101
02:00:27.600 --> 02:00:28.600
you better go back to your room.

2102
02:00:28.640 --> 02:00:28.960
At once.

2103
02:00:31.880 --> 02:00:33.680
I kept hearing my name, Cole.

2104
02:00:34.439 --> 02:00:38.600
I'm Lieutenant Advanced Miss Boudeen. This man here beside me.

2105
02:00:39.560 --> 02:00:40.760
You happen to know who he is?

2106
02:00:43.760 --> 02:00:44.239
This man?

2107
02:00:45.319 --> 02:00:49.920
Yeah, me, I've never seen him before in my life.

2108
02:00:55.920 --> 02:00:59.119
She'd never seen me before in her life. Well, I

2109
02:00:59.279 --> 02:01:03.119
did advance after that. I was with you, sitting between

2110
02:01:03.159 --> 02:01:05.439
you and your pal Tanner and a police car down

2111
02:01:05.520 --> 02:01:08.199
for headquarters, not even hearing those stupid cars.

2112
02:01:09.119 --> 02:01:11.520
Raymond, go to the corner of Hell and twenty and

2113
02:01:12.039 --> 02:01:12.880
two two nine.

2114
02:01:13.039 --> 02:01:13.720
That is all.

2115
02:01:15.840 --> 02:01:17.279
Doing some thinking? Are you a bland?

2116
02:01:18.159 --> 02:01:20.520
And I'm afraid it's a little too late. I was

2117
02:01:20.600 --> 02:01:21.279
doing some thinking.

2118
02:01:22.279 --> 02:01:23.640
I wasn't gonna let it be too late.

2119
02:01:23.920 --> 02:01:26.560
I couldn't let it be too late. How about it, kid,

2120
02:01:27.000 --> 02:01:30.920
anything you want to say? Yeah, I'd like a cigarette.

2121
02:01:31.399 --> 02:01:33.039
Give him a cigarette, Tanner, May.

2122
02:01:33.279 --> 02:01:34.279
I gotta watch the road.

2123
02:01:34.720 --> 02:01:37.319
Okay, keep your eye on him too.

2124
02:01:38.279 --> 02:01:39.479
Hey, Hey, what are you.

2125
02:01:40.960 --> 02:01:41.319
My gun?

2126
02:01:41.479 --> 02:01:41.800
Tennant?

2127
02:01:42.720 --> 02:01:44.760
Cut your foot off that plan you wreck us.

2128
02:01:45.079 --> 02:01:46.720
He's after my gun, cannon.

2129
02:01:47.279 --> 02:01:48.720
Look, I can't.

2130
02:01:51.479 --> 02:01:54.479
Okay, okay, Tannon, just pull a card of a stomp

2131
02:01:54.560 --> 02:01:57.560
and don't reach for your gun, because I'm taking now.

2132
02:01:58.159 --> 02:01:59.720
I might need to or a jerk plan.

2133
02:02:00.079 --> 02:02:00.800
This will never work.

2134
02:02:01.000 --> 02:02:04.720
I'll try anything, even suicide. Didn't you know. I'll stay

2135
02:02:04.760 --> 02:02:11.000
there till I get fans out. Okay, now you come out. No, no,

2136
02:02:11.359 --> 02:02:13.039
don't touch the keys. Just come out.

2137
02:02:13.119 --> 02:02:13.760
It'll never work.

2138
02:02:14.159 --> 02:02:16.520
Be shot down on site, not for a while, baby,

2139
02:02:17.279 --> 02:02:18.199
not in a police car.

2140
02:02:20.479 --> 02:02:24.880
I eighty two Ruben and Malone check under thirteen ten

2141
02:02:25.000 --> 02:02:26.000
hundred block forest.

2142
02:02:26.239 --> 02:02:26.760
That is all.

2143
02:02:32.319 --> 02:02:37.239
Attention, all cars, Attention, all cars. Joe Bland, a qu slayer,

2144
02:02:37.680 --> 02:02:40.119
has just stolen a police car four or six.

2145
02:02:40.399 --> 02:02:42.199
Then I heard it over the car radio.

2146
02:02:42.359 --> 02:02:44.039
This man must be apprehended.

2147
02:02:44.479 --> 02:02:46.479
He is desperate, shoot to kill.

2148
02:02:46.880 --> 02:02:47.560
That is all.

2149
02:02:49.319 --> 02:02:52.760
A tension all cars report from police car one to three.

2150
02:02:53.439 --> 02:02:56.159
Bland has just been sighted passing Serrano.

2151
02:02:55.880 --> 02:02:59.000
Street, speeding all on the Fountain.

2152
02:03:00.239 --> 02:03:03.680
Cars proceed toward northern and Fountain intercept.

2153
02:03:04.039 --> 02:03:04.720
That is all.

2154
02:03:07.960 --> 02:03:13.279
Now crossing Selma and Riverdale. Car nineteen sixty two Farm

2155
02:03:13.399 --> 02:03:15.279
roadblock next intersection.

2156
02:03:15.960 --> 02:03:22.039
Cars twenty thirteen got our rear escape Attention attention.

2157
02:03:22.840 --> 02:03:26.479
Land just sighted abandoning car running east on Selma.

2158
02:03:27.039 --> 02:03:27.560
Stop him.

2159
02:03:28.039 --> 02:03:38.760
This man was not escaped, and somehow, some way, by

2160
02:03:39.000 --> 02:03:41.880
running up alleys by hitching rides, I got back to

2161
02:03:41.920 --> 02:03:45.359
the boating place. The library window, the one that said

2162
02:03:45.399 --> 02:03:48.800
I used to escape was still open. I climbed into

2163
02:03:48.840 --> 02:03:51.920
the room that way. My luck still held long complexity?

2164
02:03:52.039 --> 02:03:54.000
Was there about fiddling papers at the desk?

2165
02:03:54.319 --> 02:03:54.640
Is odd?

2166
02:03:54.680 --> 02:03:57.319
Listening at the radio A report during the past five

2167
02:03:58.079 --> 02:04:01.520
right off Lee's back a bland trail, I said, turn

2168
02:04:01.520 --> 02:04:05.119
it off, urged to be on the ah.

2169
02:04:05.720 --> 02:04:06.399
Stay where you are?

2170
02:04:06.960 --> 02:04:09.600
Why you how call the police?

2171
02:04:09.800 --> 02:04:12.800
Put that down dial one number now'll blow your head off.

2172
02:04:15.119 --> 02:04:18.159
Well it doesn't let that. You heard what they said.

2173
02:04:18.600 --> 02:04:19.880
The police have picked up your trail.

2174
02:04:20.119 --> 02:04:23.039
They'll be here any minute. This won't take long, right,

2175
02:04:24.600 --> 02:04:25.279
what are you going to do?

2176
02:04:25.880 --> 02:04:28.760
Give you the best break you ever had? The gun

2177
02:04:28.840 --> 02:04:31.399
you used to kill Bodine. Also the twenty thousand dollars,

2178
02:04:31.399 --> 02:04:33.000
I'm taking them off your hands. Y.

2179
02:04:33.680 --> 02:04:36.079
You're not only a killer, you're a lunatic.

2180
02:04:36.159 --> 02:04:37.319
I told you I was giving you a break.

2181
02:04:38.600 --> 02:04:39.680
No, not because I like you.

2182
02:04:39.880 --> 02:04:42.000
It's because I hate somebody else more than I hate you.

2183
02:04:43.199 --> 02:04:46.800
You're just like me, A fall guy, a sucker, a pigeon.

2184
02:04:47.159 --> 02:04:49.159
Huh what do you mean?

2185
02:04:49.239 --> 02:04:51.560
Do you really think she's gonna split with you? Share

2186
02:04:51.600 --> 02:04:53.960
the old man's will and insurance money? Why should she

2187
02:04:54.680 --> 02:04:57.479
you see Why should she Why shouldn't she have it all?

2188
02:04:58.000 --> 02:04:58.199
Yeah?

2189
02:04:58.800 --> 02:04:59.960
I don't get your point.

2190
02:05:00.159 --> 02:05:02.760
Why shouldn't she turn you over to see where that

2191
02:05:02.760 --> 02:05:03.279
would put her?

2192
02:05:04.199 --> 02:05:05.079
And then just be her?

2193
02:05:05.720 --> 02:05:07.880
I don't have to listen to this. Figure it out.

2194
02:05:08.479 --> 02:05:10.520
Did she have anything whatever to do with murdering that man?

2195
02:05:10.840 --> 02:05:14.119
Anything except working on you'd be the guy who'd do

2196
02:05:14.199 --> 02:05:15.760
it the minute I left her tonight?

2197
02:05:16.399 --> 02:05:19.359
Well, Hi, how did you know.

2198
02:05:20.880 --> 02:05:21.319
Leonore?

2199
02:05:21.600 --> 02:05:24.960
Is it suppose you were nailed by the cops? Would

2200
02:05:25.000 --> 02:05:27.399
Leonore be loyal to you? I didn't hear her be

2201
02:05:27.479 --> 02:05:30.920
loyal to anybody. If Leonore Bodine had a choice between

2202
02:05:31.000 --> 02:05:33.560
being sole owner of a million bucks and sticking her

2203
02:05:33.640 --> 02:05:36.560
neck out with yours, what do you honestly think she'd do?

2204
02:05:38.199 --> 02:05:38.560
All? Right?

2205
02:05:39.079 --> 02:05:39.720
Where's the money?

2206
02:05:39.880 --> 02:05:40.000
Hi?

2207
02:05:42.119 --> 02:05:42.880
I don't know what to do.

2208
02:05:43.680 --> 02:05:43.760
Hi?

2209
02:05:44.159 --> 02:05:44.600
Where is it?

2210
02:05:46.279 --> 02:05:46.560
Okay?

2211
02:05:47.039 --> 02:05:49.359
There they are the cops. They're gonna find that money

2212
02:05:49.399 --> 02:05:52.439
on you or her. You've got less than a minute, Friday, Oh,

2213
02:05:52.680 --> 02:05:53.319
what's it gonna be?

2214
02:05:54.600 --> 02:05:54.720
Hi?

2215
02:05:54.960 --> 02:05:55.199
Stop?

2216
02:05:55.520 --> 02:05:57.920
Where are you going to get the money? It's in

2217
02:05:58.000 --> 02:05:58.359
my room?

2218
02:05:58.640 --> 02:05:59.119
Just a minute.

2219
02:05:59.159 --> 02:06:03.359
You're staying here, my friends? Your gun on the floor, mister?

2220
02:06:04.680 --> 02:06:06.239
I think we can get along with mine?

2221
02:06:06.720 --> 02:06:07.039
Okay?

2222
02:06:08.119 --> 02:06:09.960
You're a couple of seconds too late. You see, I

2223
02:06:10.000 --> 02:06:11.399
can tell the cops where to find that dough.

2224
02:06:11.520 --> 02:06:13.000
Oh no, you won't tell the cops anything.

2225
02:06:13.039 --> 02:06:13.880
You won't be able to talk.

2226
02:06:14.439 --> 02:06:16.680
You're an escape murder and I killed you. I shot

2227
02:06:16.720 --> 02:06:17.640
you in self defense.

2228
02:06:19.319 --> 02:06:19.840
You're too late.

2229
02:06:20.520 --> 02:06:24.119
They're already here. No, no, it wasn't self defense. Don't move.

2230
02:06:24.479 --> 02:06:26.520
She kills me, you're as good as dead because you'll

2231
02:06:26.520 --> 02:06:28.479
take the rap alone. She'll tell the cops where to

2232
02:06:28.520 --> 02:06:28.960
find that dough.

2233
02:06:29.039 --> 02:06:31.560
And wait, wait, wait, get away from him.

2234
02:06:31.880 --> 02:06:32.680
Away, I'm going to shoot.

2235
02:06:32.760 --> 02:06:35.880
No, you'll tell the police. You're you'll sell me out, fool.

2236
02:06:36.399 --> 02:06:36.920
Listen to him.

2237
02:06:36.920 --> 02:06:39.880
Nobody's going to tell the police. Nobody's get away from him.

2238
02:06:39.920 --> 02:06:40.920
Get away from him, to.

2239
02:06:43.319 --> 02:06:44.039
Get away from you.

2240
02:06:44.279 --> 02:06:44.880
You don't.

2241
02:06:49.319 --> 02:06:54.600
Hm kill him, kill him my cue.

2242
02:06:55.880 --> 02:07:02.920
All right, all right, you've got.

2243
02:07:06.560 --> 02:07:11.520
I got the gun, but I was too late. I

2244
02:07:11.600 --> 02:07:13.079
tried to get a out of his hand before he

2245
02:07:13.359 --> 02:07:15.039
before he shot parently, but I.

2246
02:07:15.399 --> 02:07:15.840
Was too late.

2247
02:07:16.000 --> 02:07:16.720
No, that's not proof.

2248
02:07:16.760 --> 02:07:17.039
Vans.

2249
02:07:19.079 --> 02:07:20.560
All right, the rest of you men, come on in.

2250
02:07:22.319 --> 02:07:40.119
This guy blinds killed another one. There you are, advance.

2251
02:07:40.800 --> 02:07:44.079
That's the story, And like I said, you don't believe it.

2252
02:07:44.520 --> 02:07:47.520
Doesn't matter anyway. I can't win. So you said try him.

2253
02:07:48.319 --> 02:07:50.880
Come on, let's go on back to the headquarters.

2254
02:07:50.520 --> 02:07:53.279
And Lieutenant please see that he stays in the car

2255
02:07:53.439 --> 02:07:53.880
this time.

2256
02:07:54.000 --> 02:07:56.560
I don't worry, Missus Bodine, he won't be back here again.

2257
02:07:57.039 --> 02:07:58.960
You don't set tennant. Yeah, I want me to bring

2258
02:07:59.000 --> 02:08:02.399
this gun along day. Careful you don't smudge any of

2259
02:08:02.439 --> 02:08:03.079
the prints.

2260
02:08:02.840 --> 02:08:08.000
On it, right, okay, boy, Prince a prince fingerprints, eh, Yeah,

2261
02:08:08.199 --> 02:08:12.359
fingerprints on that gun. That's it, Advance. My prints aren't

2262
02:08:12.399 --> 02:08:15.640
on it. They never were on it. Only hers because

2263
02:08:15.640 --> 02:08:16.800
she's the only one who ever used it.

2264
02:08:16.960 --> 02:08:18.079
That's not true, Prince.

2265
02:08:18.680 --> 02:08:20.560
No fingerprints on a gun, no fingerprints on it.

2266
02:08:21.560 --> 02:08:21.800
Yeah.

2267
02:08:22.079 --> 02:08:24.960
The window that window over there, Vance, the one you

2268
02:08:25.039 --> 02:08:28.079
said I opened. Listen the catch on that window. It

2269
02:08:28.119 --> 02:08:32.199
doesn't have my fingerprints. It only has Faraday's or yours.

2270
02:08:32.279 --> 02:08:37.279
Missus beaudein lying. Don't listen to him, rug Bland. So

2271
02:08:37.399 --> 02:08:40.880
it doesn't have your fingerprints on it. Maybe your war gloves.

2272
02:08:40.920 --> 02:08:44.279
Eh if I if I had, I wouldn't have left

2273
02:08:44.279 --> 02:08:46.760
prints on that desk drawer, Advance. That's the drawer where

2274
02:08:46.760 --> 02:08:50.520
the money was. And incidentally, you'll find that dough in

2275
02:08:50.560 --> 02:08:54.720
Faraday's room. How about a lieutenant convinced?

2276
02:08:55.479 --> 02:08:59.359
I rather think I am. What about you, Missus Baudeina

2277
02:08:59.439 --> 02:09:02.119
you convince yes, yes, yes.

2278
02:09:01.960 --> 02:09:04.960
I suppose I am. Well, it looks as though mister

2279
02:09:05.000 --> 02:09:07.560
Bland will have company and you strip the headquarters.

2280
02:09:08.079 --> 02:09:11.079
Ready, I'm afraid I won't have the pleasure of joining you.

2281
02:09:11.199 --> 02:09:12.880
Thanks very much anyway, Haven't.

2282
02:09:12.600 --> 02:09:15.600
You forgotten something, mister Bland. It was a little matter

2283
02:09:15.640 --> 02:09:16.239
of embezzlement.

2284
02:09:16.279 --> 02:09:16.680
I believe.

2285
02:09:17.439 --> 02:09:19.760
I'm so sorry I wasn't able to help you on that.

2286
02:09:20.399 --> 02:09:24.000
Oh you you did all right? That five grand reward

2287
02:09:24.079 --> 02:09:26.600
you've posted, I think I've won it, don't you?

2288
02:09:26.760 --> 02:09:26.880
Now?

2289
02:09:27.000 --> 02:09:27.680
Wait a minute.

2290
02:09:28.359 --> 02:09:30.399
The guy's got a point, Missus Bodine.

2291
02:09:30.680 --> 02:09:32.960
The way I see it, that reward ought to take

2292
02:09:33.000 --> 02:09:36.000
care of the embezzlement charge with quite a nice sum

2293
02:09:36.119 --> 02:09:40.279
left over. Looks like you got jip leonor were asked

2294
02:09:40.319 --> 02:09:42.880
me to sell you a washed up life. I think

2295
02:09:42.920 --> 02:09:45.000
you'll pay for it with your own.

2296
02:09:58.399 --> 02:10:01.640
And so closes Tell Me Your Life, Starring Lee Bowman,

2297
02:10:01.960 --> 02:10:07.680
Tonight's study and suspense. Suspense is produced, edited and directed

2298
02:10:07.800 --> 02:10:09.159

2299
02:10:10.640 --> 02:10:15.119
Ah A little record playing to keep us calm, Keep

2300
02:10:15.199 --> 02:10:20.840
us safe? Keep us from being a bit too fearful. Fearful. Well,

2301
02:10:20.920 --> 02:10:23.239
I hope you know, my dear, how much I appreciate

2302
02:10:23.359 --> 02:10:26.880
you seeing in the new year, and I look forward

2303
02:10:26.920 --> 02:10:32.079
to many more because I'm going nowhere and quite fast.

2304
02:10:33.079 --> 02:10:36.760
But you you need to go home. You need to

2305
02:10:36.840 --> 02:10:40.800
take a stroll through the river, over the woods, past

2306
02:10:40.880 --> 02:10:45.479
grandmother's house, down the roads, down the covered bridges, across

2307
02:10:45.600 --> 02:10:50.239
railroad tracks. Make it back to your neat, tidy home,

2308
02:10:51.359 --> 02:10:56.159
get into your warm, quiet bedroom, and get ready to

2309
02:10:57.239 --> 02:11:01.239
head off to the land of na. But as your

2310
02:11:01.319 --> 02:11:06.159
eyelids get so very very heavy, take a moment before

2311
02:11:06.199 --> 02:11:10.199
you drift away, and just be thankful for what you

2312
02:11:10.359 --> 02:11:12.600
have and I'll see you next time.
