The episode begins with a festive yet cautionary tone, as the host assesses the complex emotions that accompany the transition from one year to another, particularly around New Year’s Eve. The thematic focus is on celebration but intertwined with elements of dread, as the host introduces the narrative of "New Year's Nightmare." This dark tale explores themes of identity, memory, and the consequences of one's actions, all set against the backdrop of a pivotal moment in time.

The story unfolds in a lively locale, Club Tropicana, where characters Chris and Judy are entwined in a tumultuous relationship exacerbated by Chris's struggles with alcoholism. The tension reaches a boiling point as Judy confronts Chris, declaring her decision to leave him due to his ongoing substance abuse. In a moment of desperation, Chris chooses to drown his sorrows in another drink, setting in motion a cascade of events that spirals into chaos. He laughs off Judy's earnest concerns, marking the distinct rift between their desires and realities.

As midnight on New Year's Eve approaches, Chris finds himself mysteriously transported to a different place and time, awakening in an unfamiliar apartment next to a woman named Blanche. Confusion reigns as he grapples with his identity, believing himself to be Chris Andrews, only to be told he is actually Charles Arnold—a man who suffered a life-altering accident leading to amnesia. The narrative deftly weaves the trauma of memory loss with the eerie ambiance of New Year’s Eve, heightening the atmosphere of suspense. As Chris's story unfolds, the listener witnesses his struggle to reconcile his past with the present, while the date of January 1, 1948, looms ominously.

The tale's complexity thickens as Chris learns that he has been living another life, married to Blanche, and working a mundane insurance job. The listener observes Chris’s internal conflict as memories of Judy and his former life begin to resurface, complicating his feelings toward Blanche. The haunting presence of Judy becomes a specter that looms over Chris, pushing the narrative toward a poignant examination of love, memory, and identity.

A pivotal turning point arises when Chris encounters Judy again, igniting dormant feelings he believed to be buried. Faced with the harsh reality of his new life, Chris grapples with his commitment to Blanche while contending with the passion he still holds for Judy. The tension between the three characters escalates, allowing for a deep exploration of human emotions and relationships. Chris's internal struggle reflects a broader commentary on love's complexities and the impact of choices made in fleeting moments.

The narrative spirals into darker territory as jealousy and desperation unfold. Chris begins to contemplate a drastic decision, seeing no other escape from his predicaments. The revelation of Blanche's tragic death at his hands serves as the climactic moment of the episode, a harrowing twist that encapsulates the story's exploration of guilt, loss, and the inexorable pull of the past.

Ultimately, the episode concludes with Chris awakening once more in a hospital, signifying the cyclical nature of memory and identity. This ending leaves the listener pondering the implications of Chris's experiences as the host interjects thoughtful reflections on fate, identity, and the enigmatic threads that intertwine past and present. Through this multifaceted narrative, the episode masterfully highlights the dark edges of human psyche while maintaining the thematic resonance of New Year’s introspection and renewal.

With a final warning to the audience, the host closes the tale on a somber yet reflective note, inviting listeners to contemplate their own lives as they step into a new year filled with unknown prospects, reiterating the precarious balance between joy and despair that defines the human experience. The combination of thrilling storytelling and atmospheric sound design brings the listener to the edge of their seat, making it a compelling listen that resonates long after the episode concludes.

New Year's Nightmare. As the Old Year entered its last minute,

26
00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:23.719
the crowds at the Club Tropicano were waiting expectantly for

27
00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:28.120
the clock to strike midnight. At a ringside table, a

28
00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:31.240
lovely young woman angrily whispers to the man.

29
00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:34.000

Do you think?

Judy, don't talk like that. I couldn't live without you.

53
00:03:34.919 --> 00:03:36.560
You know that, won't you?

54
00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:38.639
Sorry, Chris, cause you're right.

55
00:03:40.039 --> 00:03:41.240
Will you please take me home?

56
00:03:41.479 --> 00:03:43.680
You don't have to leave. The sight of my drinking

57
00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:44.400
is too much for you.

58
00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:46.680

That's right now.

Oh my my head, Oh I feel so funny.

What's that noise?

74
00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:13.199
Whose horns?

75
00:05:13.319 --> 00:05:15.319

Please never seen this place before?

00:05:41.519 --> 00:05:47.199
Hello, doctor, this is Bland Charnald. Yes, it's Charles. Isn't well?

84
00:05:47.879 --> 00:05:49.360
Could you come to our apartment at once?

85
00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:50.360
Oh?

00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:50.720

00:05:51.319 --> 00:05:52.319
Goodbye?

88
00:05:53.160 --> 00:05:55.199
What do you mean I live here?

89
00:05:56.199 --> 00:05:56.680
Who are you?

90
00:05:57.680 --> 00:05:58.920
Where am I?

91
00:05:58.959 --> 00:05:59.120
Why?

92
00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:03.439
Your wife? Charles? This is our home. Don't you remember.

93
00:06:04.639 --> 00:06:09.399
You're my wife? You can't be I'm not married. What

94
00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:10.680
am I doing here? What's your game?

95
00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:14.160
Charles? Can't you remember anything about us?

96
00:06:14.279 --> 00:06:17.120
What are you talking about? I never saw you before?

97
00:06:17.720 --> 00:06:18.959
And what do you keep calling me? Charles?

98
00:06:18.959 --> 00:06:21.040
My name is Chris, Chris Andrews.

99
00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:26.720
Chris Andrews. So that's what the initial c A stood for.

100
00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:28.040
Oh that noise out there?

101
00:06:28.759 --> 00:06:30.160
Are they making such a recket for?

102
00:06:30.519 --> 00:06:32.399
Because it's midnight New Year's Eve?

103
00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:35.360
Midnight New Year's Eve?

104
00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:39.680
But it was midnight hours ago when I left the

105
00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:40.759
club Tropicana.

106
00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:42.680
What are you talking about?

107
00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:44.920
Oh that must be doctor Smith.

108
00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:46.480
All answered doctor Smith.

109
00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:48.639
I don't know any doctor Smith.

110
00:06:50.439 --> 00:06:53.720
Oh come in, doctor, I'm so glad you're here. I

111
00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:56.079
think it's the amnesia it seems to have left him

112
00:06:56.079 --> 00:06:59.560
all of a sudden. Charles, it's doctor Smith.

113
00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:02.360
I don't know him, and I don't know you, and

114
00:07:02.439 --> 00:07:05.079
please stop calling me, Charles. I told you my name

115
00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:05.839
is Chris Andrews.

116
00:07:07.040 --> 00:07:08.720
I want you to sit down, mister Andrews.

117
00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:10.600
I'd like to talk with you for a few minutes.

118
00:07:10.839 --> 00:07:16.240
What about Tell me, mister Andrews, what's the last thing

119
00:07:16.279 --> 00:07:19.000
you remember before finding yourself in this apartment?

120
00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:22.199
Why Judy?

121
00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:26.199
She and I were at the club Tropicanna celebrating New

122
00:07:26.279 --> 00:07:31.079
Year's Eve. I see, I remember we quarreled about my drinking.

123
00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:34.759
I walked out on her and had a few drinks

124
00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:39.680
someplace else. That's all I can recall. Oh my head,

125
00:07:40.199 --> 00:07:42.279
I did hangovers. But I've never thought like this before.

126
00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:47.120
What time is it? It's just four minutes after twelve,

127
00:07:48.040 --> 00:07:50.160
But it can't be four minutes after twelve New Year's Eve.

128
00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:52.560
That was hours ago when I left the Tropicanna.

129
00:07:53.560 --> 00:07:57.920
Mister Andrews, that was New Year's Eve nineteen forty seven.

130
00:07:58.720 --> 00:07:59.319
What do you mean?

131
00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:03.000
That was New Year's Eve nineteen forty seven. This is

132
00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:05.480
New Year's Eve nineteen.

133
00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:08.000
Forty eight, nineteen forty.

134
00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:12.360
Eight, What are you talking about? It's nineteen forty seven.

135
00:08:12.759 --> 00:08:15.040
Well, here's the morning paper. You can see the date

136
00:08:15.079 --> 00:08:15.680
for yourself.

137
00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:22.519
It's did January first, nineteen forty eight. No it can't be.

138
00:08:23.680 --> 00:08:29.160
It can't be a year gone just like that. But

139
00:08:29.240 --> 00:08:32.559
where did it go? I haven't lived it yet. Perhaps

140
00:08:32.639 --> 00:08:34.679
you'd better let me clear up a few.

141
00:08:34.480 --> 00:08:36.120
Things for your nineteen forty eight.

142
00:08:36.559 --> 00:08:37.399
My name is Smith.

143
00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:41.080
I was a resident physician until recently at the Park Hospital.

144
00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:44.559
While I was on duty the last New Year's Day,

145
00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:49.600
nineteen forty seven, you were brought into the hospital seriously injured,

146
00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:50.600
having been.

147
00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:51.720
Run over by a car.

148
00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:55.840
When you recovered consciousness five days later, you didn't know

149
00:08:55.879 --> 00:09:00.759
who you were. You were a victim of amnesia. Amnesia, yes,

150
00:09:00.799 --> 00:09:02.759
and we didn't know who you were as you had

151
00:09:02.759 --> 00:09:04.360
no identification.

152
00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:08.039
Papers but my wallet of letters they were gone.

153
00:09:08.720 --> 00:09:11.240
The only clue to your identity was a belt buckle

154
00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:13.639
with the initials c A on it.

155
00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:16.480
We didn't know your real name, so I called you

156
00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:17.879
Charles for the Sea.

157
00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:19.679
Blanche was your nurse.

158
00:09:20.360 --> 00:09:24.080
I've always liked to name Charles, and that's your last name.

159
00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:27.720
We thought Arnold was as good as any, so you

160
00:09:27.919 --> 00:09:29.399
became Charles Arnold.

161
00:09:29.679 --> 00:09:31.519
But what have what I've been doing since the day

162
00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:33.080
I recovered consciousness.

163
00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:36.600
Well, you weren't discharged from the hospital until May, and

164
00:09:36.639 --> 00:09:38.600
then you went to work as an insurance clerk.

165
00:09:38.720 --> 00:09:41.840
As an insurance clerk, but I don't know anything about

166
00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:42.480
being a clerk.

167
00:09:42.840 --> 00:09:43.600
I'm a reporter.

168
00:09:44.200 --> 00:09:46.440
Well, there was no way of learning what your occupation

169
00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:49.519
had been. So when Blanche learned of this opening in

170
00:09:49.559 --> 00:09:52.120
an insurance office, you applied for the position.

171
00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:54.440
And that's where I've been working up to now.

172
00:09:54.559 --> 00:10:01.159
Yes, and then after you got your job, we were married. Married, Charles,

173
00:10:01.879 --> 00:10:04.799
I mean, Chris, don't you.

174
00:10:04.799 --> 00:10:09.559
Remember I'm a Fred Blanche? You really can't married?

175
00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:17.519
But Judy, like a dream, my head keeps throbbing. I

176
00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:20.840
keep expecting to wake up. There's a date in the paper,

177
00:10:21.480 --> 00:10:23.000
January first, nineteen forty eight.

178
00:10:23.519 --> 00:10:25.679
Doctor. You said he might never get over his amnesia.

179
00:10:25.759 --> 00:10:28.600
Well that was a strong possibility, but apparently the sounds

180
00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:30.399
of New Year's brought back his memory.

181
00:10:30.960 --> 00:10:39.960
You're going just like that, Juty, my friends, job all gone?

182
00:10:40.759 --> 00:10:42.679
Doctor? Where am I? I mean, what's the address of

183
00:10:42.679 --> 00:10:43.480
this apartment house?

184
00:10:43.559 --> 00:10:46.639
You're at fifty seven eighteen or thirteenth Street.

185
00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:50.879
Philadelphia, Philadelphia. But how did I get to Philadelphia?

186
00:10:51.159 --> 00:10:51.960
That we don't know.

187
00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:54.799
All that I can tell you is that your accident

188
00:10:54.840 --> 00:10:56.720
occurred just a few blocks from here.

189
00:10:56.919 --> 00:10:58.360
Darling, I know what a shot.

190
00:10:58.399 --> 00:10:59.200
It must strange.

191
00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:02.519
He must have called me darling many times in the past,

192
00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:06.759
yet this is the first time I've I've ever heard

193
00:11:06.799 --> 00:11:07.279
you call me that.

194
00:11:08.159 --> 00:11:11.960
Yes, I know, what did you say?

195
00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:13.200
Your name was?

196
00:11:27.639 --> 00:11:31.320
Oh? Hello, doctor? Come in? Oh?

197
00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:32.519
Are you Blanche?

198
00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:33.679
All right?

199
00:11:33.759 --> 00:11:35.639
I suppose that's Chris getting along.

200
00:11:36.120 --> 00:11:36.840
He's fine.

201
00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:44.120
It's just why, Blanche, what's this? I've never seen you cry? Yeah,

202
00:11:44.279 --> 00:11:45.519
it's just that everything.

203
00:11:45.320 --> 00:11:49.080
So changed those six months Chris and I were married

204
00:11:49.080 --> 00:11:52.759
before he regained his memory, with the happiest of my life,

205
00:11:53.200 --> 00:11:57.039
and now this past month, since he got his memory back,

206
00:11:57.080 --> 00:11:58.279
it's even as though I.

207
00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:01.399
Were married to a stranger. It isn't as though he

208
00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:04.759
doesn't try to be nice to me, But it's also

209
00:12:04.960 --> 00:12:06.240
obvious he doesn't love me.

210
00:12:06.519 --> 00:12:09.000
No, Blanche, you mustn't say that it's true.

211
00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:12.159
I tell you, how can a man love a woman

212
00:12:12.200 --> 00:12:14.399
those first six months? Does he loved me and then

213
00:12:14.679 --> 00:12:16.879
fall out of love with her when he's regained his memory.

214
00:12:17.919 --> 00:12:21.120
You must have patience, Blanche. It will take time for

215
00:12:21.200 --> 00:12:24.600
Chris to adjust himself to what's happened. He fell in

216
00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:27.240
love with you, as Charles hold, and I'm sure he will.

217
00:12:27.320 --> 00:12:30.559
Is Chris Andrews. You just must give him time.

218
00:12:44.679 --> 00:12:45.120
Andrew.

219
00:12:47.039 --> 00:12:51.600
It is you, Judy, Oh, Judy, Oh, just let me

220
00:12:51.639 --> 00:12:52.120
look at you.

221
00:12:52.879 --> 00:12:54.200
This can't be true.

222
00:12:55.679 --> 00:12:59.039
It's been a long time.

223
00:12:59.120 --> 00:13:02.200
Yes, a year and a month since New Year's Eve

224
00:13:02.320 --> 00:13:03.320
nineteen forty seven.

225
00:13:04.039 --> 00:13:05.120
Chris, Are you doing here?

226
00:13:05.159 --> 00:13:05.799
And so adel?

227
00:13:05.879 --> 00:13:05.919
For?

228
00:13:06.440 --> 00:13:07.000
I live here?

229
00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:09.639
So do I I got a job with Ryan and

230
00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:11.960
Company as a copywriter here a few months ago.

231
00:13:12.799 --> 00:13:15.039
Look, Judy, we can't talk here on the side.

232
00:13:15.440 --> 00:13:15.919
That's right.

233
00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:18.360
Well, look I I live only a few blocks from here.

234
00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:19.200
We can go to my apart.

235
00:13:19.240 --> 00:13:20.039
Oh, that's fine.

236
00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:23.440
There's so much I want to ask, and there's so

237
00:13:23.559 --> 00:13:31.039
much to tell.

238
00:13:34.120 --> 00:13:35.200
Can let me have your hat and coat?

239
00:13:35.320 --> 00:13:35.639
Thank you?

240
00:13:36.039 --> 00:13:37.240
Would you have something to drink?

241
00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:39.320
No, don't drink anymore.

242
00:13:40.080 --> 00:13:44.120
Oh Chris, you have changed.

243
00:13:45.399 --> 00:13:48.559
Looks so much older, You don't You're as lovely as

244
00:13:48.600 --> 00:13:51.960
that night I saw you last. Take you, Chris, Judy,

245
00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:54.480
you'll have to let me explain what happened after I

246
00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:57.399
left you that night at the Tropicana. If you find

247
00:13:57.399 --> 00:14:01.159
it difficult to believe, I won't blame you. It still

248
00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:05.360
seems like a nightmare to me that night after I

249
00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:15.840
left you, And so now you know everything from the

250
00:14:15.879 --> 00:14:18.919
moment I last saw you to this one.

251
00:14:19.720 --> 00:14:22.639
No wonder you look different after having gone through an

252
00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:23.919
experience like that.

253
00:14:25.799 --> 00:14:28.720
Oh, well, you're all right now. You know who you are.

254
00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:30.559
You're happily married, you have a job.

255
00:14:30.639 --> 00:14:32.960
I'm not happily married, Judy, christ You mustn't.

256
00:14:32.679 --> 00:14:35.559
Talk like that. Surely you must have loved your wife

257
00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:37.799
if you married her, and she hasn't changed.

258
00:14:38.159 --> 00:14:40.519
Judy, There's never been anyone for me but you. You

259
00:14:40.639 --> 00:14:43.279
know that, and you still feel that way about you?

260
00:14:43.320 --> 00:14:43.840
No, I don't.

261
00:14:44.440 --> 00:14:46.559
When we met tonight that an old look was still

262
00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:47.080
in your eyes.

263
00:14:47.919 --> 00:14:48.960
You do care, you know you do.

264
00:14:49.159 --> 00:14:52.360
Please, No matter how I feel about you, it's over now.

265
00:14:53.080 --> 00:14:56.600
You're married, and that's all there is to it. I

266
00:14:57.039 --> 00:14:59.559
wish you'd go, and I don't want to see you again.

267
00:15:11.279 --> 00:15:14.600
Chris, where have you been? I expected you home from

268
00:15:14.600 --> 00:15:15.440
work hours ago.

269
00:15:16.679 --> 00:15:18.120
I met a friend.

270
00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:22.120
Oh, oh, you look so tired. Do you feel.

271
00:15:21.799 --> 00:15:25.080
Well, Blanche? This past month I tried my best to

272
00:15:25.080 --> 00:15:26.440
be a good husband, haven't I?

273
00:15:27.200 --> 00:15:28.559
You have been done.

274
00:15:28.799 --> 00:15:31.080
No, there's something missing and you'll know it. Oh, it

275
00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:34.639
isn't your fault, it's mine, and as a result, we're

276
00:15:34.639 --> 00:15:35.360
both unhappy.

277
00:15:35.440 --> 00:15:39.000
You mustn't say that, Chris. I feel that in time

278
00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:41.799
things will be as they were when we were first

279
00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:44.879
married and you were Charles Arnold.

280
00:15:45.120 --> 00:15:47.720
But they won't be. Blanche. It's no use, I tell.

281
00:15:47.600 --> 00:15:51.120
You, Chris, who is the friend you met tonight?

282
00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:56.519
The girl I was once engaged to. I see, Blanche,

283
00:15:56.519 --> 00:15:57.679
You've got to give me a divorce.

284
00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:03.039
No, Chris, I'll never do that.

285
00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:07.840
But why you know I don't love you? What's the

286
00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:08.840
sensing going on like this?

287
00:16:08.960 --> 00:16:09.360
Chris?

288
00:16:09.559 --> 00:16:12.039
When you were Charles Arnold, you did love me and

289
00:16:12.039 --> 00:16:14.600
we were happy together. I had your love once, and

290
00:16:14.639 --> 00:16:17.799
I mean to win it back. I won't give you

291
00:16:17.840 --> 00:16:18.360
a divorce.

292
00:16:32.360 --> 00:16:36.799
Hello, Judy, Chris, Chris, I asked you not to call

293
00:16:36.840 --> 00:16:37.440
on me again.

294
00:16:37.720 --> 00:16:40.000
Judy, I've got to talk to you. May I come in?

295
00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:45.840
Well, all right, but just for a few minutes.

296
00:16:45.919 --> 00:16:48.720
Thank you, Judy.

297
00:16:48.759 --> 00:16:51.440
Even if we hadn't met again a week ago, things

298
00:16:51.440 --> 00:16:53.639
wouldn't have been any different between my wife and myself.

299
00:16:54.679 --> 00:16:57.120
I'll never love her and I'm not going.

300
00:16:56.919 --> 00:16:57.360
On with her.

301
00:16:57.639 --> 00:16:59.480
What do you mean, Chris, I'm going to.

302
00:16:59.440 --> 00:17:02.799
Leave her, Judy, start all over someplace far away. I

303
00:17:02.879 --> 00:17:04.640
just came around to say goodbye.

304
00:17:05.319 --> 00:17:06.640
Are you set on leaving?

305
00:17:06.680 --> 00:17:06.839
Her.

306
00:17:07.400 --> 00:17:11.880
Yes, nothing can change my mind about that.

307
00:17:12.000 --> 00:17:16.039
You've got to understand my position, Chris. I could never

308
00:17:16.079 --> 00:17:17.680
be happy with you if I thought I'd been the

309
00:17:17.720 --> 00:17:21.400
one who came between you and your wife. But if

310
00:17:21.400 --> 00:17:24.640
you are going to leave her, I would like to

311
00:17:24.640 --> 00:17:27.799
see you again when you're free, would you, Judy, Yes,

312
00:17:29.440 --> 00:17:31.400
but I don't want to see you until she's given

313
00:17:31.400 --> 00:17:32.119
you a divorce.

314
00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:39.920
Divorce, Judy, I am going to be free. Nothing's going

315
00:17:39.960 --> 00:17:57.720
to prevent it. Nothing, Planch. How would you like to

316
00:17:57.720 --> 00:17:58.279
go out tonight?

317
00:17:59.039 --> 00:17:59.519
Go out?

318
00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:05.359
We might take in a show or go dancing. Didn't

319
00:18:05.359 --> 00:18:07.160
I ever take you out when I was Charles Arnold?

320
00:18:07.559 --> 00:18:11.480
Oh why yes, we used to have wonderful evenings together.

321
00:18:11.920 --> 00:18:15.680
Then well why not now? Unless you don't want to?

322
00:18:16.440 --> 00:18:19.599
Oh, Chris, there's nothing in the world I'd rather do.

323
00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:21.240
Hey, why the tears.

324
00:18:21.720 --> 00:18:23.839
Oh it's just I'm so happy.

325
00:18:24.079 --> 00:18:24.720
Oh come here?

326
00:18:25.599 --> 00:18:28.640
Uh did this mister Ronald ever put his arms around

327

328
00:18:29.960 --> 00:18:34.200
Oh? Yes, often, Chris stopped squeezing me, so.

329
00:18:36.039 --> 00:18:37.480
Chris, sorry, Donnie.

00:18:38.200 --> 00:18:45.440
Oh oh you squeeze me to dath So you remember

331
00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:48.240

00:18:51.920 --> 00:18:54.839
week's vacation soon. What do you say if we go

334
00:18:54.960 --> 00:18:57.359
up to the Adirondack Mountains for a week of winter sports?

335
00:18:57.480 --> 00:19:00.759
Oh, Chris, I'd love to wait. It'll be like a

336
00:19:00.799 --> 00:19:01.680
second honeymoon.

337
00:19:17.279 --> 00:19:18.200
Wla's you all right?

338
00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:20.359
It's only if you want me to the top.

339
00:19:20.480 --> 00:19:22.000
I am conning, darling.

340
00:19:23.880 --> 00:19:33.359
Why oh you are? Oh Chris? Oh the viewers wonderful

00:19:33.400 --> 00:19:34.240
from here, isn't it?

342
00:19:34.279 --> 00:19:36.839
And you're right? Being up here is like being alone

343
00:19:36.839 --> 00:19:37.319
in the world.

344
00:19:37.839 --> 00:19:41.119
Yeah, just the two of us. Oh, this past week

345
00:19:41.160 --> 00:19:44.680
has been a wonderful one, Chris. I've never been so happy,

346
00:19:44.960 --> 00:19:47.279
No have I? Oh, be careful, Chris, don't go from

347
00:19:47.359 --> 00:19:49.920
id the edge and canyons four thousand feet deep.

348
00:19:50.000 --> 00:19:52.559
All this, Leader's perfectly safe over here, And take a.

349
00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:55.880
Look at the belly below, all right? Oh, please keep

350
00:19:55.920 --> 00:19:59.279
your arms around me, Chris, Looking down like this frightens me.

351
00:19:59.519 --> 00:20:03.240
There You're safe in my arms, Chris.

352
00:20:03.319 --> 00:20:04.960
Why are you looking at me that way?

353
00:20:05.319 --> 00:20:05.720
What way?

354
00:20:05.799 --> 00:20:06.000
Dear?

355
00:20:07.319 --> 00:20:11.559
I don't know. Is your head throbbing again?

356
00:20:11.960 --> 00:20:16.440
No, dear, uh, I don't suppose you've changed your mind

357
00:20:16.440 --> 00:20:17.480
about giving me a divorce?

358
00:20:17.960 --> 00:20:22.839
Have you giving you a divorce? But I thought we

359
00:20:22.839 --> 00:20:25.119
were so happy together.

360
00:20:25.559 --> 00:20:27.759
Yes, that's the impression I meant people to get.

361
00:20:27.880 --> 00:20:32.119
Chris, you can't be serious. Well, everything's been wonderful these

362
00:20:32.119 --> 00:20:33.079
past few weeks.

363
00:20:33.400 --> 00:20:33.759
I see.

364
00:20:33.759 --> 00:20:35.759
It won't be any use trying to talk you into it.

365
00:20:36.319 --> 00:20:36.880
What do you mean?

366
00:20:38.400 --> 00:20:40.920
I'm sorry, Blanche, I don't want to do this, but

367
00:20:40.960 --> 00:20:42.559
you've given me no alternative.

368
00:20:43.200 --> 00:20:48.480
It's really your own fault that you must die. Though

369
00:20:48.559 --> 00:20:49.759
you're struggling, darling.

370
00:20:50.119 --> 00:20:52.759
No one can see or hear you, and you can't

371
00:20:52.799 --> 00:20:53.799
possibly assume you.

372
00:20:55.759 --> 00:20:56.079
Hang you.

373
00:20:56.240 --> 00:20:57.519
I don't think so, dear.

374
00:20:57.960 --> 00:20:59.960
We've been so happy these past few weeks.

375
00:21:00.200 --> 00:21:03.640
I'm sure the police would see it as an unfortunate accident.

376
00:21:05.359 --> 00:21:31.640
Christ Chris, good evening, Judy. May I come in?

377
00:21:32.680 --> 00:21:33.519
Yes, of course.

378
00:21:34.759 --> 00:21:35.559
How are you? Chris?

379
00:21:37.119 --> 00:21:37.680
I'm all right.

380
00:21:39.000 --> 00:21:41.279
I want to thank you for the note you sent

381
00:21:41.319 --> 00:21:43.559
me and blanched I.

382
00:21:43.519 --> 00:21:45.960
Can't tell you how sorry. I want to hear about it, Chris.

383
00:21:46.319 --> 00:21:48.759
Yes, it all happened so quickly.

384
00:21:50.880 --> 00:21:52.160
What have you been doing since then?

385
00:21:52.680 --> 00:21:52.880
Oh?

386
00:21:53.880 --> 00:21:59.039
Just working trying to straighten myself out, Judy.

387
00:21:59.640 --> 00:22:03.000
Perhaps I shouldn't talk about it now, seeing that Blanche

388
00:22:03.000 --> 00:22:06.000
has only been gone a month, but I've been thinking

389
00:22:06.079 --> 00:22:06.759
of leaving town.

390
00:22:08.200 --> 00:22:09.000
Will you come with me?

391
00:22:10.240 --> 00:22:13.319
Please sit down? Chrisy make me nervous walking back and forth.

392
00:22:13.400 --> 00:22:16.839
I think, all right, you haven't answered my question.

393
00:22:18.480 --> 00:22:21.079
Well, it isn't easy to answer.

394
00:22:21.400 --> 00:22:26.200
It would be if you said, yes, I seen your eyes.

395
00:22:26.240 --> 00:22:31.480
You mean no, Why Chris.

396
00:22:31.279 --> 00:22:33.400
I've met someone else recently.

397
00:22:34.119 --> 00:22:37.240
Someone else. But you said if I were free, would

398
00:22:37.240 --> 00:22:37.559
marry me.

399
00:22:37.640 --> 00:22:39.279
I didn't say i'd marry you. I said if you

400
00:22:39.279 --> 00:22:43.640
were free, I'd like to see you again. Now I'm

401
00:22:43.680 --> 00:22:46.880
not even sure of that. It's a difference from what

402
00:22:46.960 --> 00:22:47.640
you used to be.

403
00:22:47.799 --> 00:22:50.480
Stop being clever. If you didn't say you would marry me.

404
00:22:50.559 --> 00:22:52.920
Or you imply a much Chris, You're you're making it

405
00:22:52.960 --> 00:22:53.960
so difficult for me.

406
00:22:54.119 --> 00:22:57.039
I'm making a difficult for you. And I suppose what

407
00:22:57.079 --> 00:22:58.200
I been through doesn't count.

408
00:22:58.799 --> 00:23:01.519
I risked my life to get Christ your life. Chris,

409
00:23:01.519 --> 00:23:02.240
what are you saying?

410
00:23:02.680 --> 00:23:04.799
You said your police to believe that Blanche fell off

411
00:23:04.799 --> 00:23:05.400
that mountain.

412
00:23:06.680 --> 00:23:07.839
Christ didn't.

413
00:23:07.960 --> 00:23:10.279
Yes, and I didn't because you said you would marry

414
00:23:10.279 --> 00:23:13.200
me if I were fo No, I'm you wouldn't give

415
00:23:13.240 --> 00:23:15.359
me a divorce. It was the only way I could

416
00:23:15.400 --> 00:23:17.960
gain my freedom. And now you telling me that someone

417
00:23:18.039 --> 00:23:21.759
else Chris, I didn't for you, and you're going to

418
00:23:21.759 --> 00:23:23.559
marry me? No, I won't if I can't have you

419
00:23:23.640 --> 00:23:24.240
no one elsewhere.

420
00:23:24.319 --> 00:23:25.359
Christ's the matter with you?

421
00:23:26.160 --> 00:23:28.480
We were meant for each other, Darling, in life and

422
00:23:28.599 --> 00:23:29.400
in that crazy If.

423
00:23:29.319 --> 00:23:30.960
You come any corser, I'll scream for help.

424
00:23:31.759 --> 00:23:32.000
Don't.

425
00:23:33.599 --> 00:23:38.880
If you won't marry me, you'll never marry anyone else there.

426
00:23:40.759 --> 00:23:42.839
You never have you.

427
00:23:44.200 --> 00:23:44.920
All over.

428
00:23:48.839 --> 00:23:49.200
Hollo.

429
00:23:51.400 --> 00:23:54.039
I didn't want to do it, darling, but you forced

430
00:23:54.079 --> 00:24:01.119
me to. Oh my head throb, so everything's I can

431
00:24:01.240 --> 00:24:03.599
hate me over there?

432
00:24:04.240 --> 00:24:05.599
The police, the police.

433
00:24:06.480 --> 00:24:22.960
I got to get away.

434
00:24:19.359 --> 00:24:20.799
For the closing in on me there.

435
00:24:20.880 --> 00:24:23.000
Don't escape from this room. I wonder a way out

436
00:24:23.039 --> 00:24:24.839
on this un of the road to the other. Don't

437
00:24:24.839 --> 00:24:26.440
never take me alive never.

438
00:24:26.799 --> 00:24:28.920
I've got five bullets off of them.

439
00:24:28.759 --> 00:24:30.079
And the last for myself.

440
00:24:30.400 --> 00:24:30.799
Need you not?

441
00:24:31.000 --> 00:24:32.319
Don you made me ask me?

442
00:24:32.359 --> 00:24:33.119
I don't want to look.

443
00:24:33.480 --> 00:24:36.960
Over my head keep dropping so if I can only

444
00:24:37.079 --> 00:24:40.000
think all this can be really like a horrible dream.

445
00:24:40.799 --> 00:24:43.640
And they're coming for me, coming behind me.

446
00:24:43.720 --> 00:24:45.400
Tell you over there coming it.

447
00:24:45.400 --> 00:24:46.640
Don't never take me alive never.

448
00:24:47.079 --> 00:24:50.240
I don't show them He's gone, Like.

449
00:24:50.799 --> 00:24:55.880

I'm on my it's gonna not I'll empty.

00:25:01.599 --> 00:25:02.680
You'll never take your life.

452
00:25:03.200 --> 00:25:06.000
No, away, it's fifteen.

453
00:25:06.079 --> 00:25:10.000
Sorry, I'm coming, Judy, I'm coming jump.

454
00:25:10.200 --> 00:25:11.960
I'm falling, fallow.

455
00:25:17.119 --> 00:25:20.599
You'll never take me, never, I'm falling.

456
00:25:21.640 --> 00:25:25.480
Fooling doctor recovering confidence.

457
00:25:25.960 --> 00:25:27.680
Yeah, sure, he's opening his eyes.

458
00:25:28.920 --> 00:25:35.599
Oh drop so so am I?

459
00:25:37.519 --> 00:25:39.440
Oh it was a dream.

460
00:25:39.720 --> 00:25:40.200
Thank you?

461
00:25:41.119 --> 00:25:41.920
Oh thank Hevin.

462
00:25:42.880 --> 00:25:45.680
Now you must be quiet. You've been in a serious accident.

463
00:25:46.160 --> 00:25:46.519
Accident.

464
00:25:46.599 --> 00:25:49.920
Yes, you were hit by an automobile in New Year's morning.

465
00:25:51.079 --> 00:25:53.759
Would you mind telling me your name? There weren't any

466
00:25:53.799 --> 00:25:56.759
identification papers in your clothing, and we'd like to inform

467
00:25:56.759 --> 00:25:58.359
your relatives of what's happened.

468
00:25:59.119 --> 00:26:06.200
My name, it's it's I can't remember my name?

469
00:26:06.400 --> 00:26:09.839
I see? Or what about your address? Can you remember that?

470
00:26:11.400 --> 00:26:11.480
No?

471
00:26:13.240 --> 00:26:14.200
No, I can't remember anyhow.

472
00:26:14.279 --> 00:26:15.279
You mustn't get excited.

473
00:26:15.559 --> 00:26:17.279
It'll all come back to you.

474
00:26:17.279 --> 00:26:21.319
You received a fractured skull from the accident. There was

475
00:26:21.359 --> 00:26:26.319
a mountain mountain you mean you live near one?

476
00:26:25.720 --> 00:26:27.559
I don't know.

477
00:26:29.279 --> 00:26:32.960
There was a mountain and the police were chasing me

478
00:26:33.839 --> 00:26:38.640
and I jumped off a high building. It it's all

479
00:26:38.680 --> 00:26:39.160
mixed up.

480
00:26:39.480 --> 00:26:42.960
You've probably dreamed that while you were unconscious. But you're

481
00:26:42.960 --> 00:26:45.440
all right now, just need rest and quiet.

482
00:26:45.880 --> 00:26:46.440
Where am I?

483
00:26:46.960 --> 00:26:50.559
You're in the Park Hospital, Philadelphia, Philadelphia.

484
00:26:51.960 --> 00:26:53.200
What day is it?

485
00:26:53.200 --> 00:26:57.200
It's January fifth, nineteen forty seven. It's seven twenty six

486
00:26:57.400 --> 00:26:58.000
in the evening.

487
00:26:58.759 --> 00:26:59.759
Can you don't tell my name?

488
00:27:00.200 --> 00:27:00.240
No?

489
00:27:00.559 --> 00:27:02.960
All we have is your belt buckle with the initials

490
00:27:03.680 --> 00:27:07.920
C A C A. Nice when you look after the patient.

491
00:27:08.000 --> 00:27:08.200
Now.

492
00:27:08.359 --> 00:27:09.680
I'll be in to SeeMe later tonight.

493
00:27:09.839 --> 00:27:13.720
Yes, doctor, are you comfortable.

494
00:27:13.400 --> 00:27:14.480
The initial C A.

495
00:27:16.319 --> 00:27:17.680
What do you suppose they stand for?

496
00:27:18.680 --> 00:27:22.319
Perhaps the C is for Charles.

497
00:27:22.519 --> 00:27:26.960
Charles, Charles, I don't know.

498
00:27:27.519 --> 00:27:30.440
Well, suppose I call you Charles just for the time being.

499
00:27:31.519 --> 00:27:33.200
I always like the name Charles.

500
00:27:33.359 --> 00:27:35.799
All right, what's your name?

501
00:27:36.319 --> 00:27:40.920
I'm miss Thompson, but you can call me Blanche and Charles.

502
00:27:41.319 --> 00:27:43.359
Let me be the first to wish you a happy

503
00:27:43.440 --> 00:27:55.119
nineteen forty seven.

504
00:28:06.960 --> 00:28:08.799
This is the mysterious Traveler again.

505
00:28:09.680 --> 00:28:11.240
Have you enjoyed our little trip?

506
00:28:12.079 --> 00:28:12.240
Oh?

507
00:28:12.279 --> 00:28:14.279
By the way, I want to wish you all a

508
00:28:14.400 --> 00:28:17.119
very happy new year. And I do hope you'll be

509
00:28:17.160 --> 00:28:21.000
careful about making new acquaintances. And perhaps you'd better keep

510
00:28:21.000 --> 00:28:24.480
an eye on the old ones too, after all, who

511
00:28:24.519 --> 00:28:25.880
can foretell the future.

512
00:28:26.519 --> 00:28:29.000
Not even Chris Andrews.

513
00:28:28.319 --> 00:28:32.160
Or should I say Charles Arnold knows what's in store

514
00:28:32.200 --> 00:28:32.799
for him.

515
00:28:33.279 --> 00:28:35.039
But we do, don't we.

516
00:28:36.359 --> 00:28:40.559
And then, speaking of the future, Oh, you're getting off here.

517
00:28:40.720 --> 00:28:43.759
I'm sorry, but I'm sure we'll meet again.

518
00:28:44.880 --> 00:28:48.799
I take the same train every week at the same time.

519
00:29:01.359 --> 00:29:04.599
You've just heard The Mysterious Traveler, a series of dramas

520
00:29:04.599 --> 00:29:08.160
of the strange and terrifying. In tonight's cast were Maurice Toplin,

521
00:29:08.279 --> 00:29:13.359
Stuart Brodie, Louise Fitch, Hester Saunderguarde and mort Lawrence. Original

522
00:29:13.440 --> 00:29:16.680
music was played by Doc Whipple. The Mysterious Traveler is

523
00:29:16.720 --> 00:29:21.799
written and directed by Bob Athur and David Cogan.

524
00:29:23.759 --> 00:29:28.680
Well, my dear, that was certainly something to chew on.

525
00:29:29.640 --> 00:29:32.839
What's that? Oh no, no, no, I mean, I mean,

526
00:29:33.480 --> 00:29:37.279
I suppose that is to be seen, but I wouldn't

527
00:29:37.319 --> 00:29:41.880
worry about it whatsoever. I have to say thank you again.

528
00:29:42.680 --> 00:29:46.000
The whole year of your friendship has meant an awful

529
00:29:46.079 --> 00:29:49.240
lot to me. I appreciate how you stay up late

530
00:29:49.319 --> 00:29:54.920
with me in my humble abode of sorts, and who

531
00:29:55.000 --> 00:29:58.359
knows what the next year will hold. I certainly hope

532
00:29:58.359 --> 00:30:03.720
our friendship can flourish. But I can't guarantee anything that's

533
00:30:03.720 --> 00:30:08.839
for sure, other than death and taxes. But I wonder

534
00:30:08.920 --> 00:30:12.079
what a strange new tomorrow may be.

535
00:30:12.440 --> 00:30:19.839
Like Mystery Theater, the Mutual Radio Theater, and our next

536
00:30:19.880 --> 00:30:21.279
news Tonight at.

537
00:30:21.200 --> 00:30:58.359
Twelve midnight, the CBS Radio Mystery Theater presents.

538
00:30:43.440 --> 00:30:51.240
Coming Welcome. I'm e. G. Marshall. Have you ever played the.

539
00:30:51.200 --> 00:30:55.119
Game of wondering where and when? If you had the choice,

540
00:30:55.599 --> 00:30:59.359
you would have picked to spend your life. Most of

541
00:30:59.480 --> 00:31:04.759
us probably might settle for today and where we are.

542
00:31:05.400 --> 00:31:08.519
The more romantic among us might opt for some favorite

543
00:31:08.519 --> 00:31:13.440
era we view through rose colored glasses, the Greek or

544
00:31:13.519 --> 00:31:20.279
Roman Empire, the Renaissance, Shakespeare's England. But the adventurers would

545
00:31:20.279 --> 00:31:25.839
turn their eyes to the future, the unimagined and the unimaginable.

546
00:31:26.720 --> 00:31:32.480
What might some distant tomorrow be? Like you mean, wipe

547
00:31:32.519 --> 00:31:38.880
out any inhabitants that are there, General Vaughan, exactly, Doctor Tremaine,

548
00:31:39.759 --> 00:31:43.799
with the robots I build for you, suppose I refuse.

549
00:31:45.160 --> 00:31:49.279
That's the lovely wife you have, Doctor little Young for you,

550
00:31:50.519 --> 00:31:55.240
But then so exquisitely desirable. All the more it would

551
00:31:55.279 --> 00:31:58.000
be a pity for anything to happen to her.

552
00:32:06.640 --> 00:32:11.440
Our mystery drama Strange New Tomorrow was written especially for

553
00:32:11.480 --> 00:32:15.400
the Mystery Theater by Ian Martin and stars John Beale

554
00:32:15.839 --> 00:32:19.960
and Terry Keene. It is sponsored in part by Sun

555
00:32:20.079 --> 00:32:31.799
Kissed Growers Incorporated. I'll be back shortly with that one.

556
00:32:37.240 --> 00:32:40.359
We're about to bring you a time that none of

557
00:32:40.440 --> 00:32:46.160
us will ever know, or our children, or our children's children,

558
00:32:46.480 --> 00:32:49.880
or generations of them to come. This is a time

559
00:32:50.559 --> 00:32:54.559
long after the Second Hundred Years' War, when the world

560
00:32:54.599 --> 00:32:58.480
went mad and burned the green and fruitful earth to

561
00:32:58.599 --> 00:33:03.480
baron senders, when the population was reduced by two thirds,

562
00:33:04.039 --> 00:33:08.200
leading the survivors to a virtual handful. This is a

563
00:33:08.279 --> 00:33:13.039
time of an absolute autocracy, a state in which every

564
00:33:13.079 --> 00:33:17.440
individual is borne by a selective breeding and condemned by

565
00:33:17.480 --> 00:33:20.960
the state to function only in the area prescribed for

566
00:33:21.079 --> 00:33:26.680
him or her. This could be what the future will

567
00:33:26.720 --> 00:33:27.039
be like.

568
00:33:27.480 --> 00:33:27.920
Ralph.

569
00:33:28.720 --> 00:33:31.599
Yes, dear, it's time to your medicine.

570
00:33:32.079 --> 00:33:34.079
You don't have to act like a wife when we

571
00:33:34.079 --> 00:33:35.160
are alone at wait.

572
00:33:35.440 --> 00:33:37.359
I want you to take it. You need it.

573
00:33:38.039 --> 00:33:42.160
I may need it, but it won't have in a minute.

574
00:33:42.359 --> 00:33:43.240
What are you looking at?

575
00:33:44.440 --> 00:33:49.839
The return of the conquering hero Leader of our regiments

576
00:33:49.920 --> 00:33:56.240
defend the faith. General Mark Barden Homeward, the heroes from

577
00:33:56.279 --> 00:34:03.279
the pirates and freebooters, all with their living one. There's

578
00:34:03.319 --> 00:34:08.000
not one grain of moral sense, and not the compassion

579
00:34:08.039 --> 00:34:10.199
of warm heart among them.

580
00:34:10.440 --> 00:34:11.480
Have they been not another?

581
00:34:11.760 --> 00:34:14.960
Let me close the windows. I don't even want the

582
00:34:15.039 --> 00:34:18.400
wind from their exhaust to touch me, you were saying,

583
00:34:18.440 --> 00:34:19.039
my dear.

584
00:34:19.880 --> 00:34:23.440
I was just asking if they'd been on another galactic.

585
00:34:23.039 --> 00:34:28.800
Raid beyond doubt. More and more frequently, Varden and that

586
00:34:28.960 --> 00:34:32.599
evil young man who's elevated himself to emperor by getting

587
00:34:32.639 --> 00:34:36.679
desperate as well they should. Emperor Condor is sitting on

588
00:34:36.719 --> 00:34:37.920
an uneasy throne.

589
00:34:38.519 --> 00:34:40.800
You think he might be overthrown.

590
00:34:41.039 --> 00:34:44.079
Not from within. As long as he has his robot

591
00:34:44.199 --> 00:34:47.079
army to protect him, and as long as fresh blood

592
00:34:47.079 --> 00:34:50.000
has brought in him to keep them from extinction, the

593
00:34:50.079 --> 00:34:53.920
people will still cling to hope, although there isn't any

594
00:34:54.599 --> 00:35:00.800
hope for what. It's a long story, my child, a

595
00:35:00.960 --> 00:35:04.880
long history, and I don't feel like telling you tonight.

596
00:35:05.039 --> 00:35:09.519
Of course you mustn't. You look tired, And oh, Ralph,

597
00:35:09.599 --> 00:35:11.119
you look so ill.

598
00:35:13.280 --> 00:35:20.199
I'm suffering from a chronic complaint old age. Doctor Ralph Tremaine,

599
00:35:21.199 --> 00:35:25.039
Professor of Cybernetics emeritus.

600
00:35:24.320 --> 00:35:28.440
That you are not retired, No, not quite yet.

601
00:35:29.599 --> 00:35:32.719
There are things I have to finish you hear there?

602
00:35:33.599 --> 00:35:35.360
What Ralph?

603
00:35:35.880 --> 00:35:41.719
The silence? The ship has landed. Now they'll feed the

604
00:35:41.800 --> 00:35:51.360
poor souls, whoever they are, to the lions, Your Majesty,

605
00:35:52.400 --> 00:35:55.599
rings General, pardon your return, I see.

606
00:35:55.719 --> 00:35:58.719
Bringing with me another glorious victory to lay at your

607
00:35:58.760 --> 00:36:01.039
Majesty's spam all that nonsense.

608
00:36:01.280 --> 00:36:02.840
Are you successful in your task?

609
00:36:03.119 --> 00:36:05.199
You can see for yourself if you will allow me

610
00:36:05.280 --> 00:36:06.639
to tune in the viewing screen.

611
00:36:07.079 --> 00:36:10.840
Very well. You were gone an unconscionable time.

612
00:36:11.400 --> 00:36:15.119
These missions get more and more difficult. Why let me

613
00:36:15.199 --> 00:36:21.199
show you the fruits of this one first. There it's

614
00:36:21.280 --> 00:36:22.159
coming into focus.

615
00:36:22.199 --> 00:36:29.000
Now there's the latest catch. And where are they from?

616
00:36:29.559 --> 00:36:33.440
Rubos? A planet in the ninth Galaxy? You had to

617
00:36:33.440 --> 00:36:36.599
go so far afield. As I said, it becomes more

618
00:36:36.639 --> 00:36:40.920
difficult all the time. Galaxy after galaxy is patrolled by

619
00:36:40.960 --> 00:36:45.079
policecraft seeking this out. Only the Black Light Envelope has

620
00:36:45.159 --> 00:36:48.760
kept our identities secret this loan. Even then, I must

621
00:36:48.760 --> 00:36:51.920
slip through time warp after time warp to avoid discovery

622
00:36:51.920 --> 00:36:52.559
and recognition.

623
00:36:52.880 --> 00:36:55.119
What'll they expect we must braid them to keep our

624
00:36:55.239 --> 00:36:58.280
race alive, to maintain enough population to keep the whole

625
00:36:58.320 --> 00:37:03.880
fabric of existence viable. You know my answer to that, majesty, No, general, No,

626
00:37:04.079 --> 00:37:07.960
I don't want to listen to that. Now, Perhaps these

627
00:37:08.840 --> 00:37:11.639
bodies milling about down on a square there will be

628
00:37:11.679 --> 00:37:15.800
the answer at lashed has tell me more about the

629
00:37:15.960 --> 00:37:17.079
planet Rubos.

630
00:37:18.280 --> 00:37:21.599
It's a large planet, about the size of Jupiter in

631
00:37:21.639 --> 00:37:25.400
our Solar System. Its distance in relation to size is

632
00:37:25.440 --> 00:37:29.400
approximately the same as our planets from our Sun. The

633
00:37:29.519 --> 00:37:32.159
climate and the animal life is also analogous.

634
00:37:32.719 --> 00:37:37.159
They are culthy enough and similar enough intelligence.

635
00:37:37.400 --> 00:37:40.119
Their average IQ is a good deal higher than ours,

636
00:37:40.960 --> 00:37:45.719
and their scientific capability is considerably more advanced. We were

637
00:37:45.760 --> 00:37:49.039
lucky to make our raid and escape unnoticed. We were

638
00:37:49.079 --> 00:37:53.719
almost intercepted. Their communications must be magnificent. We were in

639
00:37:53.719 --> 00:37:56.639
a very remote part of what is a very large planet,

640
00:37:57.119 --> 00:37:58.760
and yet they were almost.

641
00:37:58.360 --> 00:38:03.559
Honest as we took off. You recognized, I hope not unless.

642
00:38:03.199 --> 00:38:05.800
They have instruments to pierce the black light curtain.

643
00:38:06.400 --> 00:38:09.440
But I think we got away excellent, excellent, and I

644
00:38:09.519 --> 00:38:12.840
won't cold you for the handful that you've brought me.

645
00:38:13.440 --> 00:38:17.480
They seem to be first rate specimens next time, I

646
00:38:17.639 --> 00:38:22.639
Emperor Conda. Yes, General Varden, there will be no next time.

647
00:38:23.400 --> 00:38:27.239
What no more rates? They are too dangerous. But you know,

648
00:38:27.320 --> 00:38:30.119
we must have a constant supply of people of healthy

649
00:38:30.199 --> 00:38:33.239
body so we can weed out the poison that eats

650
00:38:33.239 --> 00:38:35.719
at most of us and destroys it. We will never

651
00:38:35.840 --> 00:38:38.599
weed it out, but it can be bred out once

652
00:38:38.639 --> 00:38:41.199
we find the right strain. Mphrah, Kanda listened to me.

653
00:38:42.679 --> 00:38:46.079
You think the radiation is carried inside us bread in

654
00:38:46.159 --> 00:38:46.920
our genes.

655
00:38:47.679 --> 00:38:49.000
I don't believe it is.

656
00:38:50.159 --> 00:38:53.440
I think every generation reinfects itself from the earth of

657
00:38:53.480 --> 00:38:56.960
this planet, the seas that's wash it, the space around it.

658
00:38:57.079 --> 00:38:59.599
No, no, on all that can be General Varden. It's

659
00:38:59.679 --> 00:39:02.639
countless generation since the Holocaust.

660
00:39:02.039 --> 00:39:05.239
And it will be countless eternities before this planet is

661
00:39:05.280 --> 00:39:06.360
safe again for anything.

662
00:39:06.360 --> 00:39:10.599
But robots. Don't mention those abominations to me. Why do

663
00:39:10.679 --> 00:39:11.440
you hate them? So?

664
00:39:12.320 --> 00:39:15.920
They are the perfect slave. Without them, you would have

665
00:39:15.960 --> 00:39:19.239
no army, no palace, gods, and internal police to hold

666
00:39:19.280 --> 00:39:22.960
the common people in check and check from on from

667
00:39:23.079 --> 00:39:26.239
ripping you and me and the rest of the ministers apart.

668
00:39:27.360 --> 00:39:29.960
No, there is only one hope.

669
00:39:30.440 --> 00:39:34.400
That is we must abandon Earth and resettle elsewhere.

670
00:39:35.639 --> 00:39:38.920
Don't you think that hasn't been thought of Ians? And

671
00:39:38.960 --> 00:39:42.679
Ians a goal. But we are welcome nowhere, the pariahs

672
00:39:42.719 --> 00:39:45.840
of the universe. We do not ask. We will take

673
00:39:45.880 --> 00:39:48.480
with what. I can't find enough healthy bodies to run

674
00:39:48.519 --> 00:39:51.679
basic services, let alone conscript an army. We do not

675
00:39:51.880 --> 00:39:56.480
need an army except mine. Act of those obscene robots. Again,

676
00:39:56.599 --> 00:39:57.519
there aren't enough of them.

677
00:39:57.559 --> 00:39:59.880
They can be built if you will allow me to

678
00:40:00.119 --> 00:40:04.079
open the planet. What are you afraid of that somehow

679
00:40:04.079 --> 00:40:04.760
they'll take over?

680
00:40:04.920 --> 00:40:12.760
I don't know, yesh Hash, I don't worry. They're nothing

681
00:40:12.840 --> 00:40:17.159
but a series of relays, transistors, printed circuits. They are

682
00:40:17.280 --> 00:40:21.559
programmed by men. I still don't trust them.

683
00:40:21.840 --> 00:40:24.960
Give me leave your majesty to go to doctor Tremaine

684
00:40:25.400 --> 00:40:27.119
and have him start on blueprints for.

685
00:40:27.079 --> 00:40:30.480
A new and improved model robot built only for water

686
00:40:30.920 --> 00:40:35.039
or not yet not yet? Give me time to stink first,

687
00:40:35.119 --> 00:40:39.119
lent me find among these slaves you've brought back one woman?

688
00:40:39.239 --> 00:40:42.519
Who who may give me an untainted child?

689
00:40:54.239 --> 00:40:57.199
Yes, quickly, I must stop be seen. Close the door.

690
00:40:57.280 --> 00:40:59.360
Who are you I am, General Mark Vaden?

691
00:40:59.440 --> 00:41:05.440
Close it? Forgive me? Johan, how were you?

692
00:41:06.960 --> 00:41:07.760
I am owner.

693
00:41:09.199 --> 00:41:14.559
You are a very beautiful woman, am I? Yes? Where

694
00:41:14.559 --> 00:41:15.159
did you come from?

695
00:41:15.360 --> 00:41:15.480
How?

696
00:41:16.079 --> 00:41:16.480
General?

697
00:41:16.559 --> 00:41:16.960
Warton?

698
00:41:17.239 --> 00:41:19.920
To? What do we owe the honor of your visit

699
00:41:20.000 --> 00:41:20.199
to me?

700
00:41:20.800 --> 00:41:20.960
Oh?

701
00:41:21.000 --> 00:41:24.320
I see you've met my wife? Your wife? Oh? Yes,

702
00:41:24.400 --> 00:41:27.679
of course i'd forgotten. The wedding took place while you

703
00:41:27.719 --> 00:41:29.360
were on your cruise.

704
00:41:29.719 --> 00:41:34.400
My mission, doctor Tremaine, ah is mission? Did you have success?

705
00:41:35.079 --> 00:41:36.119
I flatter myself?

706
00:41:36.159 --> 00:41:39.840
I did? I have urgent business with you? Doctor? Shall

707
00:41:39.840 --> 00:41:42.440
we go to my study for what I wish to

708
00:41:42.480 --> 00:41:45.320
talk with you about? Your laboratory would be more appropriate.

709
00:41:46.199 --> 00:41:51.960
I know my way, Ralph? What is it the last

710
00:41:52.039 --> 00:41:55.760
place I wanted him to be. With a little luck,

711
00:41:55.800 --> 00:42:07.400
we may be all right. Pose the door, doctor, tremain

712
00:42:08.239 --> 00:42:12.239
very well, and I'll turn off all this apparatus. Now.

713
00:42:13.440 --> 00:42:15.760
I prefer to take no chance that what I have to.

714
00:42:15.679 --> 00:42:18.719
Say might be overheard. Well, at least let me lower

715
00:42:18.760 --> 00:42:27.119
the volume. Assassinating, what are you brewing here? Doctor? What

716
00:42:27.239 --> 00:42:33.960
are these machines? Computers, oscillators, electronic microscopes, calculators, all the

717
00:42:34.000 --> 00:42:39.559
impediment of anyone who studies cybernetics. The scientist studies only

718
00:42:39.639 --> 00:42:42.960
to learn how little he really knows. But you know

719
00:42:43.199 --> 00:42:48.639
how to build robots is but we're not building anymore.

720
00:42:49.480 --> 00:42:50.719
I want you to be ready.

721
00:42:51.760 --> 00:42:55.079
I want you to stop building me a prototype designed

722
00:42:55.119 --> 00:42:55.960
only for war.

723
00:42:56.320 --> 00:43:00.960
Does the Emperor know of this? It is the Emperor

724
00:43:01.079 --> 00:43:03.760
doesn't know of everything. God, I'd have to have his

725
00:43:03.840 --> 00:43:07.639
permission first before I embarked on this. I wouldn't want

726
00:43:07.639 --> 00:43:10.960
to risk offending him. You will be far worse of

727
00:43:10.960 --> 00:43:16.840
offending me, Doctor General. I am an old man. I

728
00:43:16.920 --> 00:43:20.159
haven't long to live, so threats of little use against

729
00:43:20.199 --> 00:43:22.320
me I wouldn't be quite.

730
00:43:22.239 --> 00:43:26.079
So sure, My dear doctor Tremaine, I'm going to take

731
00:43:26.119 --> 00:43:30.079
over another planet in some other galaxy, a clean planet,

732
00:43:30.760 --> 00:43:33.800
untouched by deadly radiation like ours.

733
00:43:34.239 --> 00:43:38.960
Take over you mean wipe out any inhabitants that are there,

734
00:43:39.280 --> 00:43:43.960
exactly with the robots I build for you. That's it.

735
00:43:45.000 --> 00:43:47.239
You are going to build me the army to fight it,

736
00:43:47.920 --> 00:43:48.920
and if I refuse.

737
00:43:50.840 --> 00:43:54.679
That is a lovely wife you have, doctor Tremaine, No

738
00:43:55.440 --> 00:43:56.599
a little young for you.

739
00:43:57.920 --> 00:44:00.960
It would be a pity for anything to happen to her.

740
00:44:01.000 --> 00:44:02.519
You wouldn't dare.

741
00:44:02.639 --> 00:44:07.239
Do not try me, one whisper to the Emperor of

742
00:44:07.280 --> 00:44:08.480
my plans.

743
00:44:08.840 --> 00:44:12.239
Any attempt from you to hinder them. Any refusal to.

744
00:44:12.199 --> 00:44:15.079
Do my will to the best of your ability, and

745
00:44:15.199 --> 00:44:18.360
I will have your wife destroyed and buried in a

746
00:44:18.440 --> 00:44:19.360
forgotten grave.

747
00:44:21.360 --> 00:44:27.079
Well, doctor Tremaine, are we partners or not?

748
00:44:31.880 --> 00:44:35.480
The General's eyes are chips of granite, and Doctor Tremaine

749
00:44:35.519 --> 00:44:38.639
knows this man only too well to doubt that he

750
00:44:38.760 --> 00:44:43.119
means every word he says. Mark Varden may be human,

751
00:44:43.679 --> 00:44:47.960
but he is as soulless as any robot. What choice

752
00:44:48.000 --> 00:44:51.519
can the old man make? I shall return shortly with

753
00:44:51.679 --> 00:45:08.679
that too. Perched on the edge of a table in

754
00:45:08.719 --> 00:45:12.400
doctor Chamaine's laboratory, as he awaits the old man's answer,

755
00:45:13.079 --> 00:45:16.440
General Mark Varden lets his hawk eyes roam idly about

756
00:45:16.440 --> 00:45:20.039
the room. It is the ordered clutter of a busy

757
00:45:20.119 --> 00:45:24.480
scientist who is half chemist, half the electronics wizard. His

758
00:45:24.559 --> 00:45:28.159
eye has just fallen on a large black box, almost

759
00:45:28.199 --> 00:45:28.960
like a coffin.

760
00:45:29.880 --> 00:45:32.840
When the old man speaks, You're right, to Old Varden,

761
00:45:33.639 --> 00:45:36.599
I have no choice. I was sure you would see

762
00:45:36.639 --> 00:45:42.280
it by way, doctor. Such a ravishingly beautiful woman. Where

763
00:45:42.280 --> 00:45:45.239
did you find her? Gee?

764
00:45:46.480 --> 00:45:48.840
She was one of the group you brought back from

765
00:45:49.320 --> 00:45:53.400
Signas three on your last mission. I overlooked her all

766
00:45:53.440 --> 00:45:56.760
the long journey home. I'm afraid you did, and I

767
00:45:56.840 --> 00:46:00.000
asked the Emperor for her hand. The moment I found her,

768
00:46:00.320 --> 00:46:05.000
the Emperor gave her to you. I'm unmarried, widow. I

769
00:46:05.039 --> 00:46:06.800
had the right to ask to demand.

770
00:46:06.960 --> 00:46:10.800
I'm surprised he acceeded the way he feels about your robots.

771
00:46:10.880 --> 00:46:14.639
Don't be too surprised, no matter what he says, only

772
00:46:14.719 --> 00:46:17.840
I can build them and program them. Now that all

773
00:46:17.840 --> 00:46:20.960
the others are gone, he needs his palace guard to

774
00:46:21.000 --> 00:46:23.840
shield him from you, so he needs me.

775
00:46:24.960 --> 00:46:29.000
Nobody else is clever enough to build or service them.

776
00:46:29.039 --> 00:46:33.039
That will be taken care of very soon. In the meantime,

777
00:46:33.760 --> 00:46:35.280
don't push me too far.

778
00:46:35.719 --> 00:46:39.360
My dear doctor, I have no intention of subjecting you

779
00:46:39.440 --> 00:46:40.880
to any pressure now that.

780
00:46:40.960 --> 00:46:41.760
We are agreed.

781
00:46:42.800 --> 00:46:45.840
I ask only the reassurance of being able to drop

782
00:46:45.920 --> 00:46:48.920
in from time to time to get progress reports.

783
00:46:49.480 --> 00:46:52.400
When I have some working drawings ready, i'll send for you,

784
00:46:52.440 --> 00:46:57.039
but carefully till I have sold his Majesty on the

785
00:46:57.079 --> 00:47:00.599
necessity of my plan. I have an assistant in the lab,

786
00:47:01.199 --> 00:47:04.920
a young man named Mac. No one knows him at court.

787
00:47:05.440 --> 00:47:10.559
I'll send him Mac. What just Mac, That's all you

788
00:47:10.559 --> 00:47:10.920
need to know.

789
00:47:12.159 --> 00:47:14.760
I'll leave standing orders for him to be admitted.

790
00:47:16.599 --> 00:47:18.360
Now I must leave you.

791
00:47:18.400 --> 00:47:22.639
Oh by the way, Yes, General, you say you never

792
00:47:22.719 --> 00:47:26.159
stopped studying. Just what have you been working on while

793
00:47:26.199 --> 00:47:27.639
I've been gone?

794
00:47:28.760 --> 00:47:30.440
I don't think it would interest you very much.

795
00:47:30.719 --> 00:47:35.039
On the contrary, you're quite sure you haven't been developing

796
00:47:35.119 --> 00:47:39.400
some sort of special robot for his majesty that just

797
00:47:39.679 --> 00:47:43.239
might upset the balance of power. What would make you

798
00:47:43.280 --> 00:47:47.719
think that this curious box big enough to hold someone

799
00:47:47.920 --> 00:47:49.159
my size?

800
00:47:49.400 --> 00:47:56.239
That looks like a coffin the lid it's locked, naturally.

801
00:47:58.239 --> 00:48:03.360
What's inside this curious third box is lined with lead.

802
00:48:04.400 --> 00:48:08.760
Inside it are a group of highly radioactive rocks, which

803
00:48:08.800 --> 00:48:12.039
I use in certain biological experiments that I've been conducting

804
00:48:12.519 --> 00:48:16.360
to try to neutralize their effect on the body. Then

805
00:48:16.440 --> 00:48:18.599
I shall give it a wide berth.

806
00:48:19.760 --> 00:48:23.400
I wouldn't want to try their effect on mine.

807
00:48:23.639 --> 00:48:28.320
If I can believe you, well, I'll give you the

808
00:48:28.360 --> 00:48:31.679
key and you may open it, but only after I'm

809
00:48:31.760 --> 00:48:35.679
out of this room and out of this house. Well,

810
00:48:37.320 --> 00:48:37.679
come in.

811
00:48:40.840 --> 00:48:43.079
I'm sorry to disturb you, Ralph, but it's time for

812
00:48:43.119 --> 00:48:43.880
your medicine.

813
00:48:44.119 --> 00:48:48.039
General, that's quite all right, missus Tremaine. I was just

814
00:48:48.119 --> 00:48:53.760
about to leave. Yes, the Emperor made you an extraordinary present.

815
00:48:54.760 --> 00:49:01.920
She's ravishingly lovely. Keep her that way, doctor at all costs. Oh,

816
00:49:02.079 --> 00:49:03.280
don't worry.

817
00:49:03.760 --> 00:49:09.360
I can see myself out, see really gone.

818
00:49:09.719 --> 00:49:11.719
What a dreadful, frightening man.

819
00:49:12.159 --> 00:49:16.360
He's all of that and more. I just had my medicine.

820
00:49:16.400 --> 00:49:17.239
I don't need it anymore.

821
00:49:17.400 --> 00:49:19.360
It was an excuse to come in. I knew you

822
00:49:19.400 --> 00:49:24.159
needed me. Oh, I don't know, except I always do.

823
00:49:24.480 --> 00:49:28.639
It's like a wave, a shudder, the pulse of some

824
00:49:29.480 --> 00:49:33.480
electric alarm. What did that awful man mean about the

825
00:49:33.559 --> 00:49:35.440
Emperor giving me to you.

826
00:49:35.840 --> 00:49:38.440
I don't want you to worry your pretty head, but.

827
00:49:38.440 --> 00:49:41.280
I do worry. What do you think it's like not

828
00:49:41.360 --> 00:49:44.639
knowing anything about yourself or your family, where you came from,

829
00:49:44.760 --> 00:49:47.880
or who your friends might have been. Just waking up

830
00:49:47.960 --> 00:49:49.639
suddenly at the age of twenty.

831
00:49:49.360 --> 00:49:49.760
Five and.

832
00:49:51.320 --> 00:49:57.880
Just being you just have no memories? But why that's

833
00:49:57.960 --> 00:49:59.840
a sort of amnesia.

834
00:50:00.159 --> 00:50:02.239
Did I fall hit my head?

835
00:50:02.360 --> 00:50:02.440
No?

836
00:50:03.840 --> 00:50:06.599
Look, I'll tell you what I just told the general.

837
00:50:07.639 --> 00:50:10.159
You know, this shipload of unfortunate people he.

838
00:50:10.280 --> 00:50:13.559
Just brought back that he captured his slaves.

839
00:50:13.800 --> 00:50:16.440
What he has condemned them to his tantamount to slavery

840
00:50:17.199 --> 00:50:17.800
and worse.

841
00:50:18.000 --> 00:50:21.280
But why why did he steal people away from their home?

842
00:50:21.360 --> 00:50:26.039
Because sooner or later everyone on this planet dies. I'm

843
00:50:26.079 --> 00:50:30.800
a form of sickness caused by nuclear radiation. The Emperor

844
00:50:30.840 --> 00:50:34.360
believes it is transmitted through the genes, and that by

845
00:50:34.440 --> 00:50:39.039
selective breeding to healthy stock, it can eventually be neutralized.

846
00:50:39.960 --> 00:50:43.920
Can it No, even if it were possible, this whole

847
00:50:44.000 --> 00:50:49.400
globe is one mass of radioactivity that would reinfect everyone again.

848
00:50:49.920 --> 00:50:51.480
Has it infected me?

849
00:50:52.840 --> 00:50:53.000
No?

850
00:50:55.039 --> 00:50:58.599
And it never will. I promise you that.

851
00:51:00.440 --> 00:51:02.599
All those poor women I saw on the viewing.

852
00:51:02.400 --> 00:51:05.559
Screen, they'll be sold to any male who's not yet

853
00:51:05.559 --> 00:51:07.400
given any signs of having the sickness.

854
00:51:08.679 --> 00:51:11.440
What a terrible cruel man to try to drag the

855
00:51:11.440 --> 00:51:14.159
rest of the universe down because of our misfortune.

856
00:51:14.199 --> 00:51:18.559
And it's all so futile. The Emperor won't believe it,

857
00:51:18.639 --> 00:51:22.440
but the cancer is already growing within him. If he

858
00:51:22.480 --> 00:51:26.000
had laid eyes on you, he undoubtedly would have chosen

859
00:51:26.039 --> 00:51:27.320
you as one of his consorts.

860
00:51:27.800 --> 00:51:34.079
How did I escape? Oh? Is that what you told

861
00:51:34.119 --> 00:51:36.960
the general that you took me instead?

862
00:51:38.000 --> 00:51:40.679
That's what I told him.

863
00:51:40.000 --> 00:51:44.519
But I I have been no real wife.

864
00:51:44.199 --> 00:51:48.599
To you, My dear sweet girl, the marriage was only

865
00:51:48.679 --> 00:51:51.239
so I could hide you away and keep you safe.

866
00:51:52.360 --> 00:51:55.760
I think of you as a daughter. I had only

867
00:51:55.800 --> 00:52:00.559
one wife, and she died a long time ago of

868
00:52:01.880 --> 00:52:07.960
the sickness. Yes, and you know something, You were created

869
00:52:08.000 --> 00:52:11.360
in her image. You look exactly like her.

870
00:52:12.000 --> 00:52:16.679
Oh, Ralph, I do love you, and I feel so

871
00:52:16.960 --> 00:52:20.360
close to you, and I want you to know how

872
00:52:20.400 --> 00:52:21.599
strong my love is.

873
00:52:21.760 --> 00:52:25.079
That's all I want to hear. Give me all of

874
00:52:25.119 --> 00:52:29.159
it you want. But as a daughter, the child I never.

875
00:52:29.000 --> 00:52:31.320
Had because you were afraid that.

876
00:52:31.440 --> 00:52:36.320
Because if I couldn't give life, I refuse to bring

877
00:52:36.360 --> 00:52:41.760
anything into this world. You will be meeting someone soon.

878
00:52:42.800 --> 00:52:45.800
He'll be working with me, and it will be impossible

879
00:52:45.840 --> 00:52:51.440
to conceal his presence from you. He's someone very special,

880
00:52:53.039 --> 00:52:59.840
and I want you to understand about him. Is it

881
00:52:59.880 --> 00:53:04.320
a coffin, Oh no, it's more like a cradle.

882
00:53:05.400 --> 00:53:06.159
I'm afraid.

883
00:53:06.239 --> 00:53:10.280
Suddenly there's nothing to be afraid of. You See.

884
00:53:14.119 --> 00:53:18.599
It's a young man and he's beautiful.

885
00:53:18.559 --> 00:53:21.519
I hope not handsome is a better word.

886
00:53:21.679 --> 00:53:23.880
Perhaps, But he.

887
00:53:25.440 --> 00:53:26.000
Is he dead?

888
00:53:26.199 --> 00:53:31.480
Oh no, this young man can't die in the ordinary sense.

889
00:53:32.159 --> 00:53:35.119
He is, in a way immortal.

890
00:53:35.800 --> 00:53:36.920
I don't understand you.

891
00:53:37.119 --> 00:53:43.079
This young man isn't a human being. He's a humanoid.

892
00:53:44.159 --> 00:53:50.239
A humanoid, yes, a similacrum, something that's formed in the

893
00:53:50.360 --> 00:53:51.599
likeness of a human being.

894
00:53:52.519 --> 00:53:55.599
Oh, you mean like a mannequin or a dummy.

895
00:53:56.000 --> 00:53:58.920
Very far from that. I mean he is identical in

896
00:53:58.960 --> 00:54:03.199
almost every respect with a human and he will perform, act,

897
00:54:03.639 --> 00:54:08.440
simulate almost every human control function. Only in max case.

898
00:54:09.119 --> 00:54:14.199
The motive forces are mechanical and electronic MAC. That's what

899
00:54:14.239 --> 00:54:16.800
I call him. It's a sort of an acronym for

900
00:54:16.920 --> 00:54:22.039
what he is. Mechano electric activated computer.

901
00:54:23.199 --> 00:54:30.639
You built him, made him, created him? Yes, Oh, how horrible.

902
00:54:31.119 --> 00:54:33.719
Oh. I was hoping that you wouldn't react like that.

903
00:54:34.679 --> 00:54:36.480
It's the last way I wanted you to feel.

904
00:54:36.599 --> 00:54:40.480
But he's nothing but a machine, a lot more than that.

905
00:54:40.960 --> 00:54:48.079
How can he be it be? It's just a super robot.

906
00:54:46.400 --> 00:54:48.079
A thing.

907
00:54:48.480 --> 00:54:50.800
I don't think you'll feel that way about him when

908
00:54:50.840 --> 00:54:51.320
you meet him.

909
00:54:51.360 --> 00:54:52.360
I don't want to meet him.

910
00:54:52.480 --> 00:54:53.679
What are you afraid of, Luna?

911
00:54:53.800 --> 00:54:57.960
I don't know. It's when I first saw him, I

912
00:54:58.000 --> 00:55:02.039
thought how beautiful he is is, and my heart went

913
00:55:02.079 --> 00:55:07.039
out to him to be dead so young, And then

914
00:55:07.159 --> 00:55:11.239
you said you said that he wasn't that he was immortal,

915
00:55:13.400 --> 00:55:16.639
and the strangest feeling just washed all over me and

916
00:55:16.880 --> 00:55:21.599
grew inside a warm and tingling and I couldn't understand it,

917
00:55:21.639 --> 00:55:27.440
but I wanted it to last forever. Now you tell

918
00:55:27.480 --> 00:55:30.719
me he's only a machine.

919
00:55:31.519 --> 00:55:32.000
I don't know.

920
00:55:32.079 --> 00:55:36.599
It's unclean somehow I want I want to cringe.

921
00:55:36.840 --> 00:55:40.039
Then you've got to meet him to get rid of.

922
00:55:40.000 --> 00:55:44.480
That feeling, all right, but only for you.

923
00:55:45.400 --> 00:55:50.719
Well, let me just set the instruments first. Just attach

924
00:55:50.880 --> 00:56:00.360
these electroals, step up the power watch woman, m hm,

925
00:56:13.280 --> 00:56:20.199
wake up Mack, and time to get to work. Yeah, oh, oh, doctor,

926
00:56:20.239 --> 00:56:25.719
I give Did I fall asleep again? Not exactly? And

927
00:56:25.840 --> 00:56:30.920
cheer up. You won't anymore, except when you decide to. Oh, Mac,

928
00:56:31.000 --> 00:56:36.400
I want you to meet my wife. Oh oh, it's

929
00:56:36.440 --> 00:56:38.840
a pleasure to meet you, missus Tremaine.

930
00:56:39.760 --> 00:56:40.320
How do you do?

931
00:56:41.679 --> 00:56:44.599
Just great? I mean, you're really something to wake up to.

932
00:56:45.360 --> 00:56:46.840
I told you you'd surprise you.

933
00:56:47.559 --> 00:56:48.880
I'm not surprised him.

934
00:56:50.079 --> 00:56:53.519
I'm frightened of me why.

935
00:56:54.199 --> 00:56:58.320
I don't know. I just don't what. I'm afraid to

936
00:56:58.320 --> 00:57:00.679
be near you. I don't what have been near you?

937
00:57:04.280 --> 00:57:05.760
Did I do something wrong?

938
00:57:05.800 --> 00:57:06.039
Don't?

939
00:57:07.239 --> 00:57:11.679
No, I'm the one. I just hope there'll be time

940
00:57:11.800 --> 00:57:13.079
enough left to set it right.

941
00:57:19.599 --> 00:57:23.920
What does Doctor Tremaine mean by that last statement? And

942
00:57:24.000 --> 00:57:27.920
why should missus tremain have this strange fear of this

943
00:57:28.280 --> 00:57:33.320
all too human humanoid? Or is Mac the mechanical electric

944
00:57:33.320 --> 00:57:38.360
computers something other than he? Or it seems you're in

945
00:57:38.400 --> 00:57:41.760
for some surprising revelations in this bizarre history of the

946
00:57:41.800 --> 00:57:42.760
far off future.

947
00:57:43.159 --> 00:57:44.239
When I returned.

948
00:57:43.920 --> 00:57:58.960
Shortly with Act three, three weeks have passed in the

949
00:57:59.000 --> 00:58:02.280
course of them, or whatever reasons of his own, Doctor

950
00:58:02.320 --> 00:58:06.000
Tremaine has tried to bring Una and his protege Mac

951
00:58:06.440 --> 00:58:10.000
together as much as possible, but Una still reacts to

952
00:58:10.039 --> 00:58:14.280
Mac with that strange, inexplicable fear and the humanoid. Although

953
00:58:14.280 --> 00:58:18.119
he obviously holds her in admiring Awe seems happy to

954
00:58:18.199 --> 00:58:21.920
have as few encounters with her as possible. But a

955
00:58:22.000 --> 00:58:25.039
rush of events are moving to a startling climax, a

956
00:58:25.039 --> 00:58:28.400
climax that builds rapidly. Is Mac visits General Varden at

957
00:58:28.400 --> 00:58:31.480
the Palace bearing a message from Doctor Tremaine.

958
00:58:32.039 --> 00:58:34.920
What does he mean he won't design the robots I ordered?

959
00:58:35.639 --> 00:58:38.119
I think he explained that on the message, General.

960
00:58:38.079 --> 00:58:40.719
You mean this nonsense about not being able to build

961
00:58:40.800 --> 00:58:41.840
machines of war.

962
00:58:42.360 --> 00:58:45.199
Or if I remember what he said was he can't,

963
00:58:45.800 --> 00:58:48.800
I can't in all conscience, I think was the phrase

964
00:58:49.599 --> 00:58:52.519
I don like your attitude. I have no attitude, Sir.

965
00:58:52.559 --> 00:58:54.719
I was only trying to set the record straight. I

966
00:58:54.840 --> 00:58:57.360
find you insubordinate. What's your name?

967
00:58:58.400 --> 00:58:58.760
Mac? Jo?

968
00:59:00.280 --> 00:59:00.480
Who?

969
00:59:01.519 --> 00:59:01.960
Just Mac?

970
00:59:02.079 --> 00:59:06.119
That's wrong? Are you trying to make a fool of me? No, Sir.

971
00:59:08.400 --> 00:59:08.760
Varden.

972
00:59:09.719 --> 00:59:12.800
General Varden, turn up your viewing screen so I know

973
00:59:12.880 --> 00:59:17.920
you're there. Yes, your majesty, that's better. I want to

974
00:59:17.920 --> 00:59:21.039
see you in my office immediately. What's wrong, Emperor?

975
00:59:21.360 --> 00:59:21.719
Wrong?

976
00:59:22.119 --> 00:59:25.840
Everything? You're fool. I've just received a message from President

977
00:59:25.960 --> 00:59:29.960
Zak of the Republic of Rubas. Your ship was identified

978
00:59:29.960 --> 00:59:31.800
on that last raid, and now he's on his way

979
00:59:31.800 --> 00:59:34.119
to work planet to throw us out of the sky.

980
00:59:34.480 --> 00:59:37.599
Does he say when No, then with luck I still

981
00:59:37.639 --> 00:59:38.840
can intercept him.

982
00:59:39.239 --> 00:59:44.440
I'll be right in your majesty, You did you hear that? Yes?

983
00:59:44.480 --> 00:59:47.840
I did. General, then take this message back to doctor Tremaine.

984
00:59:48.599 --> 00:59:51.199
You tell him to get his blueprints ready for my

985
00:59:51.320 --> 00:59:54.719
factory to go into production. I need an army of

986
00:59:54.840 --> 00:59:57.760
robots and they only have to do one thing.

987
00:59:58.119 --> 00:59:59.360
Fight.

988
00:59:59.480 --> 01:00:02.880
And you tell him also that he'd better conform or

989
01:00:02.920 --> 01:00:05.000
his wife will be the one to pay the price.

990
01:00:14.800 --> 01:00:18.039
And Missus Tremaine, oh, I'm sorry if I startled.

991
01:00:18.039 --> 01:00:19.960
You don't come near me?

992
01:00:20.960 --> 01:00:21.880
Why do you dislike me?

993
01:00:21.960 --> 01:00:22.039
So?

994
01:00:22.800 --> 01:00:24.920
Look, I've got to see doctor Tremaine first, but.

995
01:00:24.960 --> 01:00:27.960
I was I don't want him disturbed.

996
01:00:28.119 --> 01:00:30.400
What's important. I have a message from the General.

997
01:00:30.599 --> 01:00:31.159
It can wait.

998
01:00:31.679 --> 01:00:33.920
But you don't understand you're the one in danger. The

999
01:00:34.039 --> 01:00:34.880
General threatened.

1000
01:00:35.000 --> 01:00:38.559
You don't have to worry about the General's threats. My

1001
01:00:38.679 --> 01:00:41.320
husband got a promise for protection from the Emperor before

1002
01:00:41.360 --> 01:00:44.519
he told him about General Varden's planning to build the

1003
01:00:44.599 --> 01:00:48.559
robots in secret. My husband and I have nothing to

1004
01:00:48.639 --> 01:00:53.320
fear from him. He should be under arrest by now.

1005
01:00:53.360 --> 01:00:54.880
Does that satisfy you?

1006
01:00:55.880 --> 01:00:56.199
Well?

1007
01:00:56.719 --> 01:00:59.239
Yes, no?

1008
01:01:00.760 --> 01:01:01.679
What else do you want?

1009
01:01:01.840 --> 01:01:08.840
I'd like has to be friends, so would I.

1010
01:01:08.920 --> 01:01:14.079
But I don't think that's possible. Why don't you leave

1011
01:01:14.079 --> 01:01:14.760
me alone?

1012
01:01:15.400 --> 01:01:21.599
Just leave me alone, Missus Tremaina. Owner, it's all right, son, Mac,

1013
01:01:21.719 --> 01:01:25.280
I should say, don't bother. Now, come in the laboratory.

1014
01:01:25.280 --> 01:01:34.360
I need to talk to you. Explain some things. General.

1015
01:01:34.440 --> 01:01:37.119
There will be no necessity to fight. What do you

1016
01:01:37.199 --> 01:01:40.039
mean I contacted presidents or a can maide, shall we

1017
01:01:40.119 --> 01:01:44.039
say an arrangement? Am I to be informed of it?

1018
01:01:44.239 --> 01:01:44.559
Worse?

1019
01:01:44.800 --> 01:01:47.840
I've offered to return to him all his people who

1020
01:01:47.840 --> 01:01:50.679
were abducted, and that satisfied him.

1021
01:01:50.719 --> 01:01:52.039
Oh.

1022
01:01:52.199 --> 01:01:56.159
I've also offered him you, as the criminal responsible for

1023
01:01:56.199 --> 01:01:59.519
the brutal pirate raid, to do with as he likes,

1024
01:02:00.599 --> 01:02:04.800
and you trust him. Without me, there's no one to

1025
01:02:04.840 --> 01:02:07.320
fight him. And after he took off with.

1026
01:02:07.360 --> 01:02:11.239
Me as prisoner, he'd still devastate this planet till there

1027
01:02:11.280 --> 01:02:13.119
was not a living, breathing human being.

1028
01:02:13.119 --> 01:02:16.320
Honest. Oh, he intends to do that. Of course, they're

1029
01:02:16.360 --> 01:02:21.000
all dying anyway. They What about you? You will die

1030
01:02:21.000 --> 01:02:24.719
with him? Certainly not. He has promised me safe conduct

1031
01:02:24.719 --> 01:02:27.280
to his country and the right to take my personal

1032
01:02:27.320 --> 01:02:32.840
fortune with me. So you sold me out gladly, just

1033
01:02:32.920 --> 01:02:35.039
as you were planning to do to me, as soon

1034
01:02:35.079 --> 01:02:37.239
as you are ready with your new army of robots.

1035
01:02:38.000 --> 01:02:44.599
Shat them, guards, I shaid, shte them. You really are

1036
01:02:44.679 --> 01:02:45.920
a fool, your majesty.

1037
01:02:47.119 --> 01:02:50.079
Just because these metal bodies are painted with the Royal

1038
01:02:50.199 --> 01:02:53.559
purple on their breasts, emblazoned with your coat of arms,

1039
01:02:54.159 --> 01:02:55.679
you think that makes them yours?

1040
01:02:56.599 --> 01:02:59.960
Seize him, my captains. Oh, let me go. I am

1041
01:03:00.119 --> 01:03:03.440
the emperor. We're the emperor, not anymore. You think you

1042
01:03:03.519 --> 01:03:06.079
can take my prone from me. I don't want your

1043
01:03:06.119 --> 01:03:09.679
throne or you. From now on the whole universe will

1044
01:03:09.719 --> 01:03:12.400
be mine. You won't get away with it. When President

1045
01:03:12.480 --> 01:03:14.920
Zorak lands and praise me, he'll follow you with this

1046
01:03:15.039 --> 01:03:15.719
preach ofship.

1047
01:03:15.840 --> 01:03:19.239
He won't get nowhere to find me. There'll be no

1048
01:03:19.280 --> 01:03:26.280
one to tell him where I went. The king is dead,

1049
01:03:27.119 --> 01:03:29.000
long live General.

1050
01:03:34.280 --> 01:03:37.639
The reason you felt no fear of Varden Mac is

1051
01:03:37.679 --> 01:03:42.280
because I didn't program you for fear. You mean, Doctor Tremayne,

1052
01:03:42.280 --> 01:03:45.639
that every reaction I have you built into me. Yes,

1053
01:03:46.559 --> 01:03:49.400
I picked a human model for you and tried to

1054
01:03:49.440 --> 01:03:51.880
shape you as close to that model as I could,

1055
01:03:52.800 --> 01:04:00.440
with certain exceptions. Who is a modelor myself? Use proud?

1056
01:04:00.440 --> 01:04:02.440
But why would you want to go to all that

1057
01:04:02.480 --> 01:04:07.400
trouble to duplicate yourself? Maybe because I had no other

1058
01:04:07.480 --> 01:04:13.519
model I knew so well, And maybe because I'm dying

1059
01:04:13.639 --> 01:04:17.920
and every man reaches for immortality. That's the part of it,

1060
01:04:17.960 --> 01:04:23.199
but not all of it, not the real reason, And

1061
01:04:23.280 --> 01:04:26.079
I made such a bunch of it. I'm sorry if

1062
01:04:26.119 --> 01:04:28.719
I don't measure ups her. I'm no one to blame.

1063
01:04:30.840 --> 01:04:33.079
I've I got to ask you to help me talk

1064
01:04:33.079 --> 01:04:36.000
to her. I can't stand it any longer. I'll help

1065
01:04:36.000 --> 01:04:37.960
you in any way that I can, and unmake me

1066
01:04:38.039 --> 01:04:43.400
so destroy me, dismantled me. Why because because I love

1067
01:04:43.440 --> 01:04:44.960
her and she can't stand the sight of me. She

1068
01:04:46.199 --> 01:04:48.599
molds me, and I don't want to go on being

1069
01:04:49.159 --> 01:04:52.920
knowing that. Why doctor? Why does she hate me? So

1070
01:04:53.000 --> 01:04:57.079
she doesn't hate you? Mac Quite the opposite. It's better

1071
01:04:57.079 --> 01:05:00.840
if I don't believe that there's any hope for me,

1072
01:05:00.880 --> 01:05:05.199
because she's real and I'm only a copy. She's a

1073
01:05:05.280 --> 01:05:09.159
human being, and I'm not much better than a robot.

1074
01:05:09.760 --> 01:05:16.679
You are a humanoid, something very special and unique. The

1075
01:05:16.719 --> 01:05:19.480
first man of your kind in the history of time

1076
01:05:20.360 --> 01:05:24.480
still gives me no right to Una. Why not? She

1077
01:05:24.880 --> 01:05:29.599
is the same as you? She What when I said

1078
01:05:29.639 --> 01:05:32.400
you were the first man of your kind? I didn't

1079
01:05:32.400 --> 01:05:39.360
mean the first creation. The first was a woman. Una.

1080
01:05:40.199 --> 01:05:45.960
It's like me. Una is like herself, or if you wish,

1081
01:05:46.880 --> 01:05:53.719
like my wife, my real wife, my first and only one.

1082
01:05:53.960 --> 01:05:57.760
I put into Una all the things I recalled about

1083
01:05:57.760 --> 01:06:05.440
my wife, sweetness, laughter, some tears, kindness, and the beauty

1084
01:06:05.480 --> 01:06:10.840
inside that only makes the outer look more exquisitely lovely.

1085
01:06:12.559 --> 01:06:16.400
And then I brought her to life. But I made

1086
01:06:16.480 --> 01:06:21.760
one terrible mistake, heart mistake. When she came to life,

1087
01:06:22.400 --> 01:06:25.559
she was so full of the joy of it, the

1088
01:06:25.559 --> 01:06:32.039
sheer delight in being that I was awe struck. I

1089
01:06:32.079 --> 01:06:36.119
didn't have the heart to tell her that she was

1090
01:06:36.360 --> 01:06:42.760
just a machine. Yes, you'll have to tell her sooner, right,

1091
01:06:43.400 --> 01:06:48.079
I know, But I'm a coward, one part of me

1092
01:06:48.159 --> 01:06:52.000
that I didn't build into you, Mac, I keep waiting

1093
01:06:52.039 --> 01:06:57.599
for the right time. But what's that front doors? I mean,

1094
01:06:57.679 --> 01:07:01.559
who would ring like that? Except Robardon. We mustn't let

1095
01:07:01.599 --> 01:07:07.119
Moon open the door. All nice of you to greet me. Come,

1096
01:07:07.199 --> 01:07:10.239
my love, you're leaving with me. Let her go warden,

1097
01:07:10.400 --> 01:07:11.760
stop right where you are, my mom.

1098
01:07:11.840 --> 01:07:13.880
Don't shoot him, Please don't back.

1099
01:07:14.199 --> 01:07:15.920
It's all right. He can't hurt me.

1100
01:07:20.159 --> 01:07:24.880
I hit you point the flank with the disintegrating ray.

1101
01:07:25.119 --> 01:07:26.719
Let go on a stay back.

1102
01:07:27.599 --> 01:07:30.239
If you move one step closer, I promise you I'll.

1103
01:07:30.000 --> 01:07:32.719
Turn the ray on her. Give me the gun. If

1104
01:07:32.760 --> 01:07:34.440
I can't have her, no one sow.

1105
01:07:39.440 --> 01:07:42.719
I won't bother with the rest of you. Zorak is

1106
01:07:42.760 --> 01:07:44.599
on the way here to blow you all to bits.

1107
01:07:45.320 --> 01:07:48.280
I'll let him take care of you while I make

1108
01:07:48.599 --> 01:07:49.280
my escape.

1109
01:07:49.440 --> 01:07:50.519
He won't get away from me.

1110
01:07:51.039 --> 01:07:51.840
Let's say where you are?

1111
01:07:52.320 --> 01:07:54.159
No, what if you're done?

1112
01:07:54.199 --> 01:07:57.360
I can't move, He'll He'll get away with him.

1113
01:07:57.400 --> 01:07:58.559
But he killed it.

1114
01:07:58.800 --> 01:08:01.199
Don't be silly. He couldn't hurt her any more than

1115
01:08:01.239 --> 01:08:04.320
he could you. You're not hurt, are you? Una?

1116
01:08:05.440 --> 01:08:05.639
No?

1117
01:08:07.079 --> 01:08:10.639
When he fired, I was so afraid I blacked out

1118
01:08:10.679 --> 01:08:11.320
for a moment.

1119
01:08:11.960 --> 01:08:12.360
It's all right.

1120
01:08:12.360 --> 01:08:12.719
I don't know.

1121
01:08:13.320 --> 01:08:17.079
Does no need to be afraid anymore. He's gone and

1122
01:08:18.439 --> 01:08:19.079
I'm alive.

1123
01:08:20.560 --> 01:08:23.279
He fired at me point blank. I felt the shock,

1124
01:08:23.399 --> 01:08:25.079
but I'm alive.

1125
01:08:25.760 --> 01:08:29.439
He also fired at Mac and it had no effect

1126
01:08:29.479 --> 01:08:30.079
on him.

1127
01:08:30.439 --> 01:08:31.199
But Mac is.

1128
01:08:32.800 --> 01:08:39.720
A humanoid. Then that means that I'm a humanoid.

1129
01:08:39.239 --> 01:08:43.399
Too, Yes, child, forgive me. I haven't had the heart

1130
01:08:43.439 --> 01:08:44.319
to tell you the truth.

1131
01:08:44.439 --> 01:08:47.680
The heart, Oh Ralph, You couldn't have told me anything

1132
01:08:47.720 --> 01:08:52.920
more wonderful, Because now now there's nothing between us, I

1133
01:08:52.960 --> 01:08:55.079
can give my heart to Mac the way I did

1134
01:08:55.119 --> 01:08:56.520
when I first saw him.

1135
01:08:56.920 --> 01:09:01.119
Oh my ding, Why did you stop me and let

1136
01:09:01.199 --> 01:09:05.760
him get away? I don't think he will listen. Zorak

1137
01:09:05.800 --> 01:09:10.640
has caught him. General Barton has open fire. That means

1138
01:09:10.640 --> 01:09:13.079
that Zorak won't always been betrayed if he defeats the

1139
01:09:13.119 --> 01:09:14.399
General Daniel Obamas all to.

1140
01:09:14.399 --> 01:09:16.279
Does, I don't care, as long as we're together.

1141
01:09:16.439 --> 01:09:19.239
Now, you don't have to care. He can't harm either

1142
01:09:19.279 --> 01:09:27.239
of you. It, oh, doctor, because of this planet, finally

1143
01:09:27.279 --> 01:09:31.479
taking it? Come on, help me get him to bed.

1144
01:09:41.359 --> 01:09:46.600
What's everything? What's everything? It's Zorak, sir. He destroyed General

1145
01:09:46.680 --> 01:09:49.680
Varden and now he's wiping the rest of him. Not

1146
01:09:49.960 --> 01:09:53.520
you and Una. We don't care. We're together. Of course

1147
01:09:53.600 --> 01:09:56.600
you care. This fortress I built on the side of

1148
01:09:56.600 --> 01:10:00.239
the mountain will stand except for a lucky hit, but

1149
01:10:00.319 --> 01:10:04.920
the radiation after will not affect either of you. You

1150
01:10:05.039 --> 01:10:10.039
will still live when all else is dead, including me. No,

1151
01:10:11.039 --> 01:10:17.840
my days were numbered anyway. I wanted children, as you

1152
01:10:17.920 --> 01:10:22.000
were the best I could offer against Fagi. You must

1153
01:10:22.000 --> 01:10:26.800
fight to exist, isn't that feudal? Doctor, the two of

1154
01:10:26.880 --> 01:10:30.000
us alone. One thing you couldn't give us is the

1155
01:10:30.039 --> 01:10:35.800
ability to reproduce. Of course I could. Stored in your memory.

1156
01:10:35.880 --> 01:10:39.960
Banks is all I have learned, And what I learned

1157
01:10:40.560 --> 01:10:44.039
is from the accumulated wisdom of man since he first

1158
01:10:44.079 --> 01:10:49.079
started to reason. Deep in the mountains are stores of

1159
01:10:49.239 --> 01:10:54.880
parts and transistors, and all you need to build in

1160
01:10:54.960 --> 01:11:00.720
the image of yourselves. You were children, who in turn

1161
01:11:00.800 --> 01:11:07.159
will build their images to become their children, until.

1162
01:11:06.680 --> 01:11:13.039
At last the earth will be inherited again. Every new

1163
01:11:13.199 --> 01:11:19.359
world that ever began sprang from despair, and those who

1164
01:11:19.399 --> 01:11:30.199
refused to stop hoping. Make this your your new world

1165
01:11:31.600 --> 01:11:38.359
of Ralph, I sure know his life here was over. Listen,

1166
01:11:39.840 --> 01:11:48.680
Why listen? They stopped bombing. The destruction's over. It's time

1167
01:11:48.720 --> 01:11:59.680
to start building again. Is there a moral in this

1168
01:11:59.720 --> 01:12:06.159
story or right? Ask yourself. The ameba reproduces by separation.

1169
01:12:06.319 --> 01:12:11.079
A flower, by cross pollenization, sponges and spores in their

1170
01:12:11.159 --> 01:12:15.800
own spontaneous fashion. The animal kingdom is not the only

1171
01:12:15.840 --> 01:12:20.319
one and holds no royal prerogati here. Who is to

1172
01:12:20.359 --> 01:12:23.199
say that tomorrow what we think of as a machine

1173
01:12:23.800 --> 01:12:25.840
may not capture the future.

1174
01:12:27.319 --> 01:12:29.720
When an orange says sunkist on the outside, do you

1175
01:12:29.760 --> 01:12:31.000
know it's juicy and sweet?

1176
01:12:31.039 --> 01:12:35.840

It was the English poet Laureate Alfred Tennyson who said,

1203
01:14:47.079 --> 01:14:50.720
before I dipped into the future far as human eye

1204
01:14:50.760 --> 01:14:53.239
could see, saw the vision.

1205
01:14:52.960 --> 01:14:56.680
Of the world and all the wonder it could be.

1206
01:14:58.039 --> 01:15:02.439
Perhaps we have dipped even deeper, Lord Tennyson, to glimpse.

1207
01:15:02.119 --> 01:15:03.960
The reflection of the universe.

1208
01:15:05.279 --> 01:15:09.920
Could it be that man himself is not the total answer?

1209
01:15:11.319 --> 01:15:14.239
Our cast included John b O, Terry Keene, Gordon Heath

1210
01:15:14.279 --> 01:15:17.640
and Ian Martin. The entire production was under the direction

1211
01:15:17.760 --> 01:15:18.640
of Hymon Brown.

1212
01:15:20.680 --> 01:15:26.199
Well, my dear, I think tomorrow looks interesting, interesting to

1213
01:15:26.239 --> 01:15:30.159
say the least, I don't know about you. Of course,

1214
01:15:31.319 --> 01:15:34.760
days and times and years are not the only thing

1215
01:15:34.880 --> 01:15:42.000
that are new, and sometimes what is old becomes new again.

1216
01:15:43.159 --> 01:15:47.199
I find that saying to be quite prudent in my

1217
01:15:47.439 --> 01:15:52.199
day to day life. How about you, Well, that's fair,

1218
01:15:52.479 --> 01:15:56.520
that's fair. This next one I've dusted off just for

1219
01:15:56.600 --> 01:16:01.239
you to enjoy is all about a woman name Missus Devil,

1220
01:16:02.319 --> 01:16:05.319
who has become very new to her.

1221
01:16:06.840 --> 01:16:09.399
And now stay tuned for the mystery program that is

1222
01:16:09.520 --> 01:16:12.760
unique among all mystery programs, because even when you know

1223
01:16:12.800 --> 01:16:16.479
who's guilty, you always receive a startling surprise at the

1224
01:16:16.479 --> 01:16:34.000
final curtain. In the signal oil program, the whistler Sichy.

1225
01:16:34.920 --> 01:16:39.640
Name Shagnal signal.

1226

Signal the famous Go Father gasoline invites you to sit

1227
01:16:46.800 --> 01:16:51.960
back and enjoy another strange story by the whistler. For

1228
01:16:52.159 --> 01:16:54.880
extra driving pleasure, the signal to look for is the

1229
01:16:54.960 --> 01:16:59.039
yellow and black circle sign that identifies signal service stations

1230
01:16:59.079 --> 01:17:02.920
from Canada. To make and for Sunday evening listening pleasure,

1231
01:17:03.319 --> 01:17:06.720
the signal to listen for is this whistle that identifies

1232
01:17:06.800 --> 01:17:09.119
the signal oil program.

1233
01:17:09.159 --> 01:17:09.880
The whistler.

1234
01:17:27.119 --> 01:17:30.880
I am the whistler, and I know many things. For

1235
01:17:31.000 --> 01:17:35.239
I walk by night. I know many strange tales hidden

1236
01:17:35.239 --> 01:17:37.399
in the hearts of men and women who have stepped

1237
01:17:37.399 --> 01:17:42.439
into the shadows. Yes, I know the nameless terrors of

1238
01:17:42.520 --> 01:17:44.079
which they dare not speak.

1239
01:17:47.159 --> 01:17:51.840
And now the Whistler's strange story the New Missus Devlin.

1240
01:17:59.239 --> 01:18:03.079
Darkness at fallen over the Monterey Coast. As Kenneth Devlin

1241
01:18:03.159 --> 01:18:06.920
turned the convertible off the highway, swung the car around

1242
01:18:06.960 --> 01:18:08.880
on a half arc, and then backed it into the

1243
01:18:08.920 --> 01:18:13.279
dense shadows and turned off the motor. As he sat

1244
01:18:13.319 --> 01:18:16.279
there in the darkness waiting, his eyes never left the

1245
01:18:16.359 --> 01:18:19.840
rambling two story house. In the distance. He could hear

1246
01:18:19.880 --> 01:18:23.119
the pounding of the surf, and then, suddenly, close by

1247
01:18:23.199 --> 01:18:27.479
another sound, the ringing of a telephone. Yes, Kenneth, your

1248
01:18:27.479 --> 01:18:31.079
plan is working. You lean forward, see a figure move

1249
01:18:31.159 --> 01:18:34.920
past the lighted kitchen window. Then another light wings on,

1250
01:18:35.079 --> 01:18:37.800
and you step out of the car and run toward

1251
01:18:37.880 --> 01:18:41.600
the house. You pause at the back door for a moment,

1252
01:18:42.079 --> 01:18:43.920
and then quietly slip inside.

1253
01:18:44.199 --> 01:18:46.560
All right, this law, but you better get a pencil

1254
01:18:46.600 --> 01:18:49.880
and write this down. You have one fine.

1255
01:18:50.239 --> 01:18:52.199
You stop at the foot of the stairs, don't you

1256
01:18:52.279 --> 01:18:55.760
can six listen to your housekeeper, Frida, as she talks

1257
01:18:55.800 --> 01:18:59.199
on the telephone. Yes, then you hurry upstairs to your

1258
01:18:59.199 --> 01:19:03.199
wife's room. Ready, push the door open slowly. The room

1259
01:19:03.279 --> 01:19:06.359
is dark and very quiet. There on the bed is

1260
01:19:06.359 --> 01:19:11.079
your wife, Emily, her back turned. You approach the bedside table,

1261
01:19:11.800 --> 01:19:15.840
uncork a small flat bottle, pour half the contents into

1262
01:19:15.840 --> 01:19:18.039
the glass of milk on the stand beside her bed,

1263
01:19:19.359 --> 01:19:22.640
and then as you move away, your hand accidentally brushes

1264
01:19:22.640 --> 01:19:25.479
against the music box. Quickly you snap down the lid,

1265
01:19:27.079 --> 01:19:30.039
hold your breath for fear of waking it. Stand there

1266
01:19:30.079 --> 01:19:33.600
for a full minute, not daring to move. Then you

1267
01:19:33.760 --> 01:19:36.560
turn quietly and hurry out of the room and down

1268
01:19:36.600 --> 01:19:37.239
the stairs.

1269
01:19:38.159 --> 01:19:41.039
Now you simmer the scallops five minutes in the mixture

1270
01:19:41.039 --> 01:19:44.680
of wine, salt and cayenne. Am am, I going too

1271
01:19:44.720 --> 01:19:48.760
fast for you, Miss Laurel. All right, then you drain,

1272
01:19:49.239 --> 01:19:53.079
preserving the liquid. Let's try cook her onion in the

1273
01:19:53.079 --> 01:19:58.359
butter until tender, blend in the flour. Add the liquid

1274
01:19:58.399 --> 01:19:59.960
drains from the shallops.

1275
01:19:59.520 --> 01:19:59.600
And.

1276
01:20:03.239 --> 01:20:06.439
It's done, isn't it can No one even knew you

1277
01:20:06.439 --> 01:20:10.760
were there. You've poisoned your wife, Emily, haven't you? And

1278
01:20:10.920 --> 01:20:28.760
soon you'll be free to marry the beautiful Laura.

1279
01:20:31.119 --> 01:20:32.640
All right, Laura, get in ken.

1280
01:20:32.800 --> 01:20:33.720
Did everything go all right?

1281
01:20:33.880 --> 01:20:34.279
Yeah?

1282
01:20:34.279 --> 01:20:35.439
Sure, sure, come on, let's go.

1283
01:20:40.760 --> 01:20:43.119
Hey, your phone call was perfect, honey, at all the

1284
01:20:43.159 --> 01:20:43.760
time in the world.

1285
01:20:43.800 --> 01:20:45.600
And are you sure everything went all right?

1286
01:20:45.880 --> 01:20:46.399
Of course?

1287
01:20:46.960 --> 01:20:49.680
Why Freda left the phone for a moment? I couldn't help,

1288
01:20:49.680 --> 01:20:51.000
but you said there was something on the stove.

1289
01:20:51.079 --> 01:20:51.840
How long was she gone?

1290
01:20:52.159 --> 01:20:53.439
Not more than a minute or so.

1291
01:20:54.760 --> 01:20:57.960
Well, I'm certain you didn't see me she had I

1292
01:20:57.960 --> 01:21:01.680
think she would have spoken. Now we better separate, all right, Darlin,

1293
01:21:02.279 --> 01:21:03.560
I'll drive you up to the highway and you can

1294
01:21:03.600 --> 01:21:06.840
take a bus home. I can tell you later, and

1295
01:21:06.880 --> 01:21:09.920
don't worry, Laura. I'm sure we're in the clear.

1296
01:21:16.920 --> 01:21:20.239
You drive around along for a couple of hours. It's

1297
01:21:20.279 --> 01:21:23.359
almost ten o'clock when you return to the house. As

1298
01:21:23.359 --> 01:21:26.640
you step inside the front door and close, you remove

1299
01:21:26.680 --> 01:21:27.359
your overcoat.

1300
01:21:28.000 --> 01:21:29.319
Mister Devlin, you.

1301
01:21:29.359 --> 01:21:33.079
Turn at the sound of your housekeeper's voice. She's standing

1302
01:21:33.119 --> 01:21:35.159
at the head of the stairs, looking down at you,

1303
01:21:36.079 --> 01:21:39.560
and you notice a strange look in her eyes. Then

1304
01:21:39.680 --> 01:21:42.479
slowly she walks down the stairs towards you.

1305
01:21:43.079 --> 01:21:45.720
I sorry, I'm late. Free that couldn't help it. I uh,

1306
01:21:47.079 --> 01:21:49.600
I suppose dinner is completely ruined, mister Devon.

1307
01:21:49.720 --> 01:21:51.239
I've been trying to reach you.

1308
01:21:51.800 --> 01:21:55.199
Oh well, I I what's the matter for you?

1309
01:21:55.239 --> 01:21:57.159
Do you as white as a sheep.

1310
01:21:57.000 --> 01:21:59.159
Mister Devon? I didn't know what to do with it

1311
01:21:59.199 --> 01:22:01.640
was such a long time time before the doctor came.

1312
01:22:01.439 --> 01:22:05.840
And doctor Ferris, you better go upstairs.

1313
01:22:05.239 --> 01:22:10.159
Sir, upstairs, But Freda, what's happened?

1314
01:22:10.520 --> 01:22:11.960
It's your wife, mister Devlin.

1315
01:22:12.439 --> 01:22:19.760
She's dead dead, No, what was wrong? What did doctor

1316
01:22:19.800 --> 01:22:20.920
Ferris say?

1317
01:22:21.119 --> 01:22:26.640
He wasn't greatly surprised. Oh her heart, you know, she'd

1318
01:22:26.640 --> 01:22:31.039
been sick for such a long time, poor dear. Yeah,

1319
01:22:34.319 --> 01:22:36.520
I suppose it was all for the best.

1320
01:22:36.279 --> 01:22:37.079
Mister Devlin.

1321
01:22:37.800 --> 01:22:40.600
Oh, oh, you understand what I mean.

1322
01:22:41.199 --> 01:22:46.680
Oh, yes, of course, Yeah, you're quite right, Frida, I'm

1323
01:22:46.720 --> 01:23:02.560
sure it was all for the best.

1324
01:23:02.760 --> 01:23:05.840
Tonight's twenty dollars Signal Gasoline book goes to carl A.

1325
01:23:05.960 --> 01:23:11.600
Truett of San Francisco for this limerick, said the man

1326
01:23:11.640 --> 01:23:15.159
in the moon with a sigh, If only some signal

1327
01:23:15.239 --> 01:23:18.800
they'd try, they'd go farther by miles through these misty

1328
01:23:18.880 --> 01:23:23.119
defiles and catch that ghost herd in the sky.

1329
01:23:23.159 --> 01:23:29.159
No signal gasoline, the car the gold farm with the

1330
01:23:29.319 --> 01:23:30.479
father gasoline.

1331
01:23:31.720 --> 01:23:34.319
Well, even though catching that ghost herd in the sky

1332
01:23:34.439 --> 01:23:37.239
isn't one of your ambitions, I'm sure you'll find plenty

1333
01:23:37.239 --> 01:23:39.439
of use for the good mile age that has made

1334
01:23:39.479 --> 01:23:43.159
signal famous as the goal farther gasoline. And at the

1335
01:23:43.159 --> 01:23:45.960
same time you'll enjoy the other benefits that naturally go

1336
01:23:46.079 --> 01:23:49.640
hand in hand with mile age. I'm talking about signals fast,

1337
01:23:49.680 --> 01:23:54.479
cold weather starting signals, proud pickup signals, smooth, effortless power.

1338
01:23:55.039 --> 01:23:58.479
So whether you're looking for economy or just real driving pleasure.

1339
01:23:59.000 --> 01:24:02.880
Remember you'll find I'm both in signal the famous go

1340
01:24:03.119 --> 01:24:16.279
farther gasoline.

1341
01:24:24.279 --> 01:24:27.840
It's over, isn't it, Kenneth? Your wife Emily is dead

1342
01:24:28.079 --> 01:24:31.359
and you're sure no one suspects you poisoned there not

1343
01:24:31.479 --> 01:24:35.319
even free to your housekeeper. Doctor Ferris stated it was

1344
01:24:35.319 --> 01:24:39.159
her weak heart. The cremation service for Emily makes it

1345
01:24:39.239 --> 01:24:41.720
certain now that no one will ever find out how

1346
01:24:41.720 --> 01:24:45.680
she died, and you're in the clear. Weeks and then

1347
01:24:45.800 --> 01:24:49.760
months pass, and finally, in the fall, you marry Laurel,

1348
01:24:50.239 --> 01:24:54.319
bring her back to the house overlooking Monterey Bay. Now

1349
01:24:54.439 --> 01:24:59.960
life is amusing, pleasantly exciting, isn't it, Kenneth. Yes, Laurel,

1350
01:25:00.399 --> 01:25:03.119
Emily is well. The prize as you gamble for are

1351
01:25:03.159 --> 01:25:06.720
yours at last? And you're immensely pleased with the way

1352
01:25:06.800 --> 01:25:10.920
things have turned out. That is, for a while you are.

1353
01:25:11.560 --> 01:25:14.279
And then gradually you begin to notice a change in Laurel,

1354
01:25:14.319 --> 01:25:18.079
and it bothers you. There's something on her mind, isn't it, Kenneth.

1355
01:25:19.159 --> 01:25:21.600
One night, as you return from the office.

1356
01:25:21.800 --> 01:25:24.479
Good evening, mister Devlin, Hello Freda, here take these things?

1357
01:25:24.479 --> 01:25:28.000
Will you've been shopping against her. Indeed, indeed, I hair

1358
01:25:28.079 --> 01:25:29.800
I put these things in the living room, sir, do

1359
01:25:29.800 --> 01:25:30.960
you not be ready in half an hour?

1360
01:25:31.239 --> 01:25:31.520
Dinner?

1361
01:25:31.880 --> 01:25:33.840
Well, didn't missus Devlin tell you we were going out tonight?

1362
01:25:34.000 --> 01:25:38.279
She changed her mind, Sir, changed her mind.

1363
01:25:38.600 --> 01:25:43.880
In the library, laurel.

1364
01:25:43.840 --> 01:25:47.399
Oh, Hello, Ken, have a drink?

1365
01:25:47.960 --> 01:25:51.720
Thanks? No, what about the party tonight, Honey? I thought

1366
01:25:51.720 --> 01:25:52.520
you'd be all ready to go.

1367
01:25:53.319 --> 01:25:56.840
I'm not going, Ken, but we can.

1368
01:25:57.960 --> 01:26:00.000
Why Pete and Georgia are my best friends?

1369
01:26:00.079 --> 01:26:03.399
Their wives whisper, whisper, always whispering in corners.

1370
01:26:03.680 --> 01:26:05.520
Look, Kennie, what would they be whispering about?

1371
01:26:06.560 --> 01:26:16.680
Can't you guess? Can't you guess? Ken?

1372
01:26:18.479 --> 01:26:21.960
That was the beginning, wasn't it, Kennon, the first indication

1373
01:26:22.079 --> 01:26:26.119
of trouble ahead. She's afraid people will find out you

1374
01:26:26.279 --> 01:26:31.359
poisoned your first wife, Emily. You find yourself becoming jittery, irritable,

1375
01:26:32.119 --> 01:26:35.399
and there are unpleasant scenes that end only in driving

1376
01:26:35.439 --> 01:26:39.399
you further apart. Then another evening in the library, as

1377
01:26:39.399 --> 01:26:41.640
you sit reading the newspaper.

1378
01:26:42.239 --> 01:26:45.680
Ken, Yeah, let's move away from here.

1379
01:26:47.039 --> 01:26:48.840
Who what on earth for?

1380
01:26:49.279 --> 01:26:52.279
I just want to get away. It's all this house.

1381
01:26:52.680 --> 01:26:53.520
What's wrong with the house.

1382
01:26:53.520 --> 01:26:53.840
I thought you.

1383
01:26:54.159 --> 01:26:59.359
It's just that well, being alone here all day alone

1384
01:26:59.800 --> 01:27:03.920
for Frida's here, isn't she? Yes, Freda's here?

1385
01:27:04.199 --> 01:27:05.600
And what in the world Frida?

1386
01:27:05.720 --> 01:27:11.079
The house, everything in it reminds me. I can't help.

1387
01:27:11.119 --> 01:27:13.319
But people are talking about as they suspect us.

1388
01:27:13.640 --> 01:27:15.800
It's just your imagination is working over time. They don't

1389
01:27:15.840 --> 01:27:18.159
know the thing, and they never will. As long as

1390
01:27:18.199 --> 01:27:20.680
you keep your head. You've got to take hold of yourself. Love,

1391
01:27:21.359 --> 01:27:25.880
nothing to worry about. I forget about it, please.

1392
01:27:28.399 --> 01:27:28.840
All right?

1393
01:27:30.239 --> 01:27:31.680
But about Freda?

1394
01:27:32.640 --> 01:27:34.600
What about it? She's got to go.

1395
01:27:35.119 --> 01:27:38.199
I just don't want her in this house. She watches

1396
01:27:38.239 --> 01:27:42.199
everything I do, listens to my phone conversations. It's not ridiculous.

1397
01:27:42.920 --> 01:27:46.760
She suspects us, Ken, Please, you've got to dismiss her.

1398
01:27:47.239 --> 01:27:50.960
No, Freeta's staying and that's final.

1399
01:27:52.039 --> 01:27:56.840
I see you feel sorry for don't you sorry? She's

1400
01:27:56.880 --> 01:27:58.760
in love with you? Of course you know that.

1401
01:27:59.079 --> 01:28:01.399
In love with me? Oh, don't be sure.

1402
01:28:01.479 --> 01:28:03.560
I noticed a long time ago, the way she looks

1403
01:28:03.600 --> 01:28:05.960
at you, even before Emily died, she was in love

1404
01:28:06.000 --> 01:28:09.279
with you. Why she follows you around, always doing things

1405
01:28:09.319 --> 01:28:11.279
for you? All very clear?

1406
01:28:11.439 --> 01:28:11.720
Ken?

1407
01:28:13.319 --> 01:28:17.279
Tell me? Are you in love with her.

1408
01:28:18.720 --> 01:28:25.000
You're a fool, suspicious, frightened little fool. I'm going to bed.

1409
01:28:25.399 --> 01:28:39.880
Good night, Well, good morning, can George, how are you fine?

1410
01:28:40.079 --> 01:28:40.399
Fine?

1411
01:28:40.479 --> 01:28:40.880
Fine?

1412
01:28:41.760 --> 01:28:45.039
Hey, great morning. Isn't he anyway to the office? Yeah,

1413
01:28:45.079 --> 01:28:46.520
I thought i'd walk it for Chane.

1414
01:28:47.039 --> 01:28:50.079
Say, how come we don't see you votes anymore?

1415
01:28:50.359 --> 01:28:52.079
Getting Annie's social or something.

1416
01:28:52.319 --> 01:28:56.359
Oh no, well, Laurel has not been feeling too well,

1417
01:28:56.680 --> 01:28:58.319
and then I've been pretty busy.

1418
01:28:58.840 --> 01:28:59.960
Sure, just kidding.

1419
01:29:00.680 --> 01:29:03.479
Laurel going on a trip trip. Yeah, I saw about

1420
01:29:03.479 --> 01:29:06.359
ten minutes ago, heading to the bus station. Laurel. Yeah,

1421
01:29:06.600 --> 01:29:07.560
carrying a suitcase.

1422
01:29:08.119 --> 01:29:11.479
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, she's gonna visit a girlfriend

1423
01:29:11.479 --> 01:29:15.079
of hers. I thought she was gonna drive the carcase

1424
01:29:15.119 --> 01:29:16.000
she changed her mind.

1425
01:29:16.199 --> 01:29:18.520
Well, maybe we can get together some night. Huh, play

1426
01:29:18.560 --> 01:29:20.640
a little poker with the boys our phone peep.

1427
01:29:20.439 --> 01:29:23.399
Yeah, sure, we'll we'll do that. Excuse me, George, excuse me.

1428
01:29:23.399 --> 01:29:25.840
I'll have to go back to the house. I forgot something.

1429
01:29:25.880 --> 01:29:35.159
Yeah, okay, okay, see you, Okay.

1430
01:29:35.800 --> 01:29:38.439
San Francisco's ready to low. Have you think it's ready

1431
01:29:38.439 --> 01:29:39.119
to come?

1432
01:29:39.119 --> 01:29:39.279
On?

1433
01:29:41.520 --> 01:29:42.600
Going someplace?

1434
01:29:43.159 --> 01:29:43.319
Hear?

1435
01:29:44.439 --> 01:29:45.600
Better give me that suitcase?

1436
01:29:46.439 --> 01:29:50.119
Can I left a note for you? I thought I'd

1437
01:29:50.159 --> 01:29:53.880
just spend a few days in San Francisco shopping, get

1438
01:29:54.159 --> 01:29:55.079
things off my mind.

1439
01:29:57.520 --> 01:30:02.000
All right, here you were running away, weren't you.

1440
01:30:02.000 --> 01:30:04.279
No, No, I wasn't, Kelly.

1441
01:30:04.479 --> 01:30:08.159
Come on, we're going back home, please, Kelly. Frightened people

1442
01:30:08.199 --> 01:30:12.560
do stupid things, make mistakes. I can't have that, Laura.

1443
01:30:12.520 --> 01:30:16.079
Just just a few days, can come back.

1444
01:30:16.199 --> 01:30:20.840
No, I don't trust you. I don't trust you any more.

1445
01:30:21.920 --> 01:30:25.640
Why why.

1446
01:30:28.720 --> 01:30:31.439
Marriage to Laurel was a mistake, wasn't it, Kenneth? You

1447
01:30:31.560 --> 01:30:35.880
realize that now she's no longer the clever, even tempered

1448
01:30:35.920 --> 01:30:39.239
woman you dared so much for. She's losing her nerves,

1449
01:30:39.600 --> 01:30:44.199
a coward, a weakling, and she can be dangerous. Frida

1450
01:30:44.279 --> 01:30:47.359
has already told you that Laurel attempted suicide on two

1451
01:30:47.399 --> 01:30:50.600
different occasions, and you decide you'll have to watch her

1452
01:30:50.640 --> 01:30:54.159
closely from now on. In the days that follow, you

1453
01:30:54.279 --> 01:30:57.520
spend more and more time working at home. But late

1454
01:30:57.560 --> 01:31:01.000
one afternoon, some unexpected business takes you down to your

1455
01:31:01.039 --> 01:31:06.239
office in the village, and then it happens, Yes.

1456
01:31:06.399 --> 01:31:07.800
Your house calling, sir.

1457
01:31:07.960 --> 01:31:10.920
Oh very well, hello.

1458
01:31:11.920 --> 01:31:12.520
This is Prita.

1459
01:31:13.079 --> 01:31:14.840
Can you come home right away?

1460
01:31:15.319 --> 01:31:16.199
What's wrong? Freda?

1461
01:31:16.960 --> 01:31:19.159
Missus devilin, sir, she's ill.

1462
01:31:27.680 --> 01:31:30.439
Well, you will just dress quietly, missus Devlin, and take

1463
01:31:30.479 --> 01:31:31.960
that medicine every half hour.

1464
01:31:32.199 --> 01:31:32.920
See that she does.

1465
01:31:32.960 --> 01:31:35.800
I'm Freda will do That's why I should look in again.

1466
01:31:36.000 --> 01:31:37.199
Something goodbye?

1467
01:31:41.039 --> 01:31:42.119
Oh Ken?

1468
01:31:42.680 --> 01:31:44.800
How how how is she do?

1469
01:31:45.119 --> 01:31:45.279
Oh?

1470
01:31:45.359 --> 01:31:46.920
Nothing worrying about She'll be all right.

1471
01:31:46.920 --> 01:31:50.439
I'm just nervous, upset stomach. But I'd watch her for

1472
01:31:50.479 --> 01:31:50.920
a while.

1473
01:31:51.399 --> 01:31:54.560
Frieda told me she's attempted suicide once or twice. Yes,

1474
01:31:54.680 --> 01:31:59.279
I know, she told me too. I'll watch her doctor

1475
01:32:00.680 --> 01:32:01.359
very closely.

1476
01:32:07.840 --> 01:32:10.000
This gives you an idea, doesn't it.

1477
01:32:10.079 --> 01:32:10.279
Kim.

1478
01:32:11.079 --> 01:32:14.399
Suddenly you realize that if Laurel succeeded in an attempt

1479
01:32:14.399 --> 01:32:18.800
at suicide, your worries would all be over. It's something

1480
01:32:18.840 --> 01:32:22.520
to think about, isn't it. Laurel has become a serious threat.

1481
01:32:23.119 --> 01:32:27.199
She might do anything, even go to the sheriff. He thought.

1482
01:32:27.279 --> 01:32:29.520
Stays with you for the next few days, and then

1483
01:32:29.560 --> 01:32:32.279
one evening it's Frida who helps you decide.

1484
01:32:33.039 --> 01:32:35.680
I've been thinking, mister Devilon. I I'd like to run

1485
01:32:35.760 --> 01:32:38.399
up to Santa Cruz tomorrow. My sister's been asking me

1486
01:32:38.479 --> 01:32:39.279
to visit with her.

1487
01:32:39.800 --> 01:32:41.279
WHOA, why not?

1488
01:32:41.399 --> 01:32:41.800
Frida?

1489
01:32:42.800 --> 01:32:43.159
Yes?

1490
01:32:43.439 --> 01:32:43.960
Go ahead.

1491
01:32:44.319 --> 01:32:46.279
Well, if you are going to be busy at the

1492
01:32:46.319 --> 01:32:49.560
office to morrow, I wouldn't want to leave missus devilin alone.

1493
01:32:50.399 --> 01:32:54.560
You worry too much, Freda. I'll keep an eye on her.

1494
01:33:02.479 --> 01:33:05.399
It's an opportunity, isn't it, and you don't hesitate to

1495
01:33:05.439 --> 01:33:08.760
take advantage of it. Laurel will be alone in the house.

1496
01:33:09.520 --> 01:33:13.199
It's got to be done, you tell yourself, and it

1497
01:33:13.279 --> 01:33:21.279
might just as well happen tomorrow. Later that night, in

1498
01:33:21.319 --> 01:33:24.319
the attic room, you open an old trunk take out

1499
01:33:24.359 --> 01:33:27.880
a small flat bottle, the same poison you used for

1500
01:33:27.960 --> 01:33:32.159
your first wife, Emily. As you stand there staring at it.

1501
01:33:33.640 --> 01:33:37.279
Oh, oh, mister Devlin, I didn't know you were here.

1502
01:33:38.279 --> 01:33:39.000
What is it free?

1503
01:33:39.199 --> 01:33:40.880
Well, I just came up to get some things i'd

1504
01:33:40.880 --> 01:33:42.720
stored away, some presents for my nephew.

1505
01:33:42.720 --> 01:33:44.199
But I won't disturb you.

1506
01:33:44.439 --> 01:33:47.520
Sure, Oh, it's quite all right. I was just leaving it.

1507
01:33:47.960 --> 01:33:52.880
Oh, mister Devlin. Yes, about breakfast in the morning, I'd

1508
01:33:52.960 --> 01:33:54.960
plan to catch the eight o'clock bus.

1509
01:33:55.000 --> 01:34:00.000
I don't worry about us. I'll manage you run aloft.

1510
01:34:06.359 --> 01:34:09.079
The following morning. As you see Freda leave the house,

1511
01:34:09.439 --> 01:34:12.319
you hurry down to the kitchen find the small cream

1512
01:34:12.359 --> 01:34:15.199
pitcher in the refrigerator. You pour the rest of the

1513
01:34:15.199 --> 01:34:19.079
poison into the cream, replace the pitcher on the refrigerator shelf,

1514
01:34:19.880 --> 01:34:22.439
and an hour later you're walking into your office.

1515
01:34:23.520 --> 01:34:26.039
Oh, good morning, mister Devlin. I wasn't sure you'd be

1516
01:34:26.039 --> 01:34:26.720
coming in today.

1517
01:34:26.920 --> 01:34:27.159
Morning.

1518
01:34:27.159 --> 01:34:29.840
Mister Simmons called a few minutes ago. I want to

1519
01:34:29.840 --> 01:34:32.640
remind you about looking at that Faraday Land. Oh yeah, yes,

1520
01:34:32.680 --> 01:34:33.439
I forgot.

1521
01:34:33.119 --> 01:34:37.000
To call him. I'll do it right away.

1522
01:34:44.960 --> 01:34:48.279
After you've phoned mister Simmons put in several other calls.

1523
01:34:48.720 --> 01:34:51.680
You make a pretense of being quite busy, but your

1524
01:34:51.720 --> 01:34:58.000
eyes keep wandering to the clock. Nine thirty. Laurel's waking

1525
01:34:58.119 --> 01:35:14.359
up now ten o'clock. Soon she'll leave a room, move

1526
01:35:14.479 --> 01:35:19.760
down to the kitchen, breakfast, the same breakfast she always eats,

1527
01:35:20.520 --> 01:35:37.439
coffee and cereal with cream. Eleven o'clock. And now you

1528
01:35:37.600 --> 01:35:40.600
reach for the telephone.

1529
01:35:41.640 --> 01:35:43.560
Will you call my home please?

1530
01:35:48.359 --> 01:35:50.600
You've waited an hour and a half, haven't you ken?

1531
01:35:51.920 --> 01:35:55.319
Ninety long minutes more than enough time for Laurel to

1532
01:35:55.399 --> 01:35:59.479
dress and eat breakfast. The poison should take effect immediately

1533
01:36:00.119 --> 01:36:03.520
you get up from your desk pace the office. It

1534
01:36:03.560 --> 01:36:05.840
had to be done there was no other way, was there? Kin,

1535
01:36:06.520 --> 01:36:11.680
coldly simply, first Emily because you wanted her money. Now

1536
01:36:11.800 --> 01:36:15.840
Laurel because she threatened your security, and everything is once

1537
01:36:15.880 --> 01:36:19.039
again in your favor. Freida has told the doctor that

1538
01:36:19.159 --> 01:36:24.199
Laurel had tried suicide before. This time she will succeed,

1539
01:36:24.279 --> 01:36:30.600
won't she? Kim, While you were absent from the house, Yes, I'm.

1540
01:36:30.399 --> 01:36:31.239
Sorry, this is the devil.

1541
01:36:31.279 --> 01:36:32.479
I called you home, but there's no.

1542
01:36:32.520 --> 01:36:36.479
Answer, no answer. Oh thank you.

1543
01:36:38.279 --> 01:36:42.079
It's done, isn't it. Ken, Your certain Laurel is dead.

1544
01:36:42.960 --> 01:36:45.680
You put away the papers you've been toying with, say

1545
01:36:45.720 --> 01:36:48.079
a few words to your secretary, and hurry down the

1546
01:36:48.159 --> 01:36:50.880
street to your car. As you slide in behind the

1547
01:36:50.880 --> 01:36:54.000
wheel and reach for the ignition swhich your hand freezes

1548
01:36:54.039 --> 01:36:58.640
in mid air. The woman crossing the street, there's no

1549
01:36:58.760 --> 01:37:02.600
mistaking the plaids for what code is the Ken? It's Laurel.

1550
01:37:03.279 --> 01:37:06.600
She's not dead. You watch your hurry along the other

1551
01:37:06.680 --> 01:37:09.760
side of the street. Turn into the sheriff's office. Yes,

1552
01:37:10.319 --> 01:37:12.840
the sheriff's office, Kim, Hi, you can.

1553
01:37:13.640 --> 01:37:19.520
Oh, jumpy Angel, Hey what's the matter?

1554
01:37:20.119 --> 01:37:20.319
Ken?

1555
01:37:20.359 --> 01:37:21.479
You look like you've seen a ghost.

1556
01:37:22.119 --> 01:37:22.760
I'm in a hurry.

1557
01:37:23.239 --> 01:37:25.279
Hey, what goat kill.

1558
01:37:25.399 --> 01:37:26.159
What's the matter?

1559
01:37:32.359 --> 01:37:35.239
Laurel is going to tell the sheriff everything, isn't she can?

1560
01:37:35.640 --> 01:37:38.319
You're certain of that, and your only thought now is

1561
01:37:38.359 --> 01:37:41.119
to get away. Back at the house, you hurry to

1562
01:37:41.159 --> 01:37:43.600
the wall safe, take out all the cash and put

1563
01:37:43.600 --> 01:37:46.000
it in your pocket. You are smart to keep a

1564
01:37:46.000 --> 01:37:49.279
few thousand at home, wor't you can? Now there's still

1565
01:37:49.319 --> 01:37:51.640
a chance for you. Isn't here, But you'll have to

1566
01:37:51.680 --> 01:37:54.600
move fast. And then as you open the front door.

1567
01:37:56.319 --> 01:38:01.479
Mister Devlin, Frida, I go to my sisters after all?

1568
01:38:03.840 --> 01:38:04.439
Why why not?

1569
01:38:05.000 --> 01:38:09.560
I had no intention of going? Really, what is she dead?

1570
01:38:09.840 --> 01:38:10.159
Laurel?

1571
01:38:10.239 --> 01:38:12.720
I mean, what are you talking about?

1572
01:38:13.039 --> 01:38:16.079
You mean you didn't take advantage of my absence, mister Devlin,

1573
01:38:16.479 --> 01:38:19.159
Dear me, I was certain you'd see to it that

1574
01:38:19.239 --> 01:38:21.520
Laurel wouldn't fail in her next suicide attempts.

1575
01:38:22.000 --> 01:38:22.399
Read it.

1576
01:38:22.439 --> 01:38:25.319
Oh, look so surprised. I've been expecting it, the way

1577
01:38:25.359 --> 01:38:29.000
things were between you, worrying about Emily and how she died.

1578
01:38:30.720 --> 01:38:34.279
You know about that too, of course. Why didn't you

1579
01:38:34.319 --> 01:38:36.159
go to the sheriff, tell him, tell.

1580
01:38:36.119 --> 01:38:39.600
Him what Emily died from her illness. Her heart just stopped,

1581
01:38:39.600 --> 01:38:43.640
that's all. Nothing else what I saw you that night,

1582
01:38:43.680 --> 01:38:46.119
mister Devilon, when I was talking on the telephone, I

1583
01:38:46.159 --> 01:38:48.439
followed you upstairs. Saw you drop the poison in the milk.

1584
01:38:49.479 --> 01:38:50.960
Too bad? You didn't know.

1585
01:38:50.880 --> 01:38:54.600
She was already dead, already dead. Yes, she never got

1586
01:38:54.600 --> 01:38:55.880
to touch the glass of milk.

1587
01:38:56.840 --> 01:38:59.640
Why, Freda, why didn't you tell me this before?

1588
01:39:00.560 --> 01:39:04.600
I would have in time? I suppose you see, when

1589
01:39:04.680 --> 01:39:08.079
Emily died, I I thought perhaps you'd notice me, that

1590
01:39:09.319 --> 01:39:15.239
there'd be a new missus Devlin. You mean, yes, but

1591
01:39:15.279 --> 01:39:18.079
you married Laurel. That took me by surprise, and I

1592
01:39:18.439 --> 01:39:20.439
I only wanted to hurt you, you and Laurel, to

1593
01:39:20.479 --> 01:39:21.119
make you suffer.

1594
01:39:21.399 --> 01:39:22.119
And she has.

1595
01:39:21.960 --> 01:39:25.239
Suffered, Yes, she has. She must have if she tried suicide.

1596
01:39:25.399 --> 01:39:28.039
No, no, she never tried to kill herself.

1597
01:39:28.119 --> 01:39:30.880
For the doctor said, were you told me?

1598
01:39:30.960 --> 01:39:33.239
I planned it that way because I thought it would

1599
01:39:33.319 --> 01:39:36.399
help you if it were established in advance that she

1600
01:39:36.479 --> 01:39:40.880
had suicidal tendencies, in case you decided you'd be better

1601
01:39:40.920 --> 01:39:41.640
off without her.

1602
01:39:41.800 --> 01:39:42.800
You don't know what you've done for it.

1603
01:39:43.800 --> 01:39:47.000
He ruined things. Row's at the Sheriff's office right now,

1604
01:39:47.039 --> 01:39:48.960
telling him I poisoned Emily. I'm sure of it.

1605
01:39:49.000 --> 01:39:52.760
Well, that's all right. I can tell him differently, will

1606
01:39:52.800 --> 01:39:54.840
you on one condition?

1607
01:39:57.159 --> 01:39:57.520
What's that?

1608
01:39:58.920 --> 01:39:59.920
I love this house.

1609
01:40:01.159 --> 01:40:08.159
I want it to be mine ours, Kenneth. I want

1610
01:40:08.199 --> 01:40:12.199
to be the next Missus Devlin Laura. She doesn't love you,

1611
01:40:12.239 --> 01:40:14.560
and you don't love her. She makes your life miserable.

1612
01:40:14.600 --> 01:40:16.239
You could send her away, divorce.

1613
01:40:15.880 --> 01:40:17.439
Her, and.

1614
01:40:18.920 --> 01:40:22.319
If I do, I'll tell the Shaff the truth and

1615
01:40:22.399 --> 01:40:28.239
you'll be free. Well, if the Shaff is coming, you

1616
01:40:28.279 --> 01:40:29.439
better make up your mind, Kenneth.

1617
01:40:29.880 --> 01:40:30.119
Soon.

1618
01:40:42.079 --> 01:40:45.000
When you need a new automobile battery, you usually need

1619
01:40:45.000 --> 01:40:47.640
it quick. You haven't time to shop around and compare

1620
01:40:47.720 --> 01:40:50.800
prices and features. For that reason, it may pay you

1621
01:40:50.840 --> 01:40:53.520
both in savings and satisfaction to know about the new

1622
01:40:53.600 --> 01:40:56.600
Signal Deluxe battery that you can get on easy credit

1623
01:40:56.680 --> 01:41:00.840
terms at any signal service station. Actually get up to

1624
01:41:00.920 --> 01:41:04.520
thirty five percent more power from Signals New Deluxe batteries

1625
01:41:04.920 --> 01:41:09.520
because their improved design, microporous all rubber separators hold twice

1626
01:41:09.560 --> 01:41:12.680
as much acid solution between the plates, and when it

1627
01:41:12.680 --> 01:41:16.279
comes to trouble free service, these new Signal Deluxe batteries

1628
01:41:16.359 --> 01:41:19.840
last so long that signal dealers guarantee them a full

1629
01:41:19.960 --> 01:41:23.399
thirty months on a service basis That makes the cost

1630
01:41:23.399 --> 01:41:26.680
per month amazingly low, and the generous trade and allow

1631
01:41:26.720 --> 01:41:29.560
on signal dealers are now giving for old batteries makes

1632
01:41:29.560 --> 01:41:32.800
the cost even lower. So why wait until your old

1633
01:41:32.800 --> 01:41:36.319
battery lets you down completely? Stop at a signal station.

1634
01:41:36.520 --> 01:41:39.199
Now find out how little it will cost you to

1635
01:41:39.319 --> 01:41:43.319
enjoy quicker starting and freedom from battery worries with an

1636
01:41:43.319 --> 01:41:51.239
extra powerful, extra long life Signal Deluxe battery.

1637
01:41:53.079 --> 01:41:55.800
So you have a decision to make. Can you can

1638
01:41:55.880 --> 01:41:59.199
reject Freedom's demand and face a murder charge, or you

1639
01:41:59.239 --> 01:42:01.800
can accept be cleared of a crime you plan but

1640
01:42:01.880 --> 01:42:05.359
really didn't commit. You move out to the patio alone

1641
01:42:05.399 --> 01:42:09.159
to think. But your mind is already made up, isn't it. Yes,

1642
01:42:09.279 --> 01:42:13.039
Freda's testimony will ensure your freedom. Make certain you'll never

1643
01:42:13.119 --> 01:42:16.359
again have to worry about Emily's death, and you'll return

1644
01:42:16.399 --> 01:42:20.239
the favor by making Frida the next Missus Devlin. The

1645
01:42:20.319 --> 01:42:23.920
minutes pass and you wait for the sheriff to arrive. Finally,

1646
01:42:23.920 --> 01:42:26.439
his car pulls into the driveway and he steps out,

1647
01:42:27.159 --> 01:42:29.720
leaving Laurel in the car with a deputy. He starts

1648
01:42:29.800 --> 01:42:32.319
up the path toward the house. As he does, you

1649
01:42:32.399 --> 01:42:34.680
hurry back inside and meet him at the front door.

1650
01:42:35.399 --> 01:42:38.199
Mister Devlin, Yes, your wife just told us a very

1651
01:42:38.239 --> 01:42:41.600
interesting story. She's confessed that the two of you poisoned

1652
01:42:41.640 --> 01:42:43.000
the first missus Devlin.

1653
01:42:42.760 --> 01:42:45.720
And now chef she's wrong. We didn't kill her. Emily

1654
01:42:45.760 --> 01:42:48.439
died of a heart attack. She never drank the poison, right,

1655
01:42:48.560 --> 01:42:52.039
So yes, and I can prove it. Frida, my housekeeper,

1656
01:42:52.079 --> 01:42:59.199
she'll tell you. Come on, Chef, Frida Frida. Oh, this way, Chef,

1657
01:42:59.239 --> 01:43:02.199
she's probably in here. Yeah, Frida.

1658
01:43:03.880 --> 01:43:07.239
Frida is slumped over the kitchen table. Close at hand

1659
01:43:07.279 --> 01:43:11.159
as a coffee cup and a picture of cream empty

1660
01:43:11.760 --> 01:43:14.399
the poison cream you meant for Laurel.

1661
01:43:15.800 --> 01:43:22.560
Rida Freda just a minute, Devlin, sheriff Ire, she's dead.

1662
01:43:23.680 --> 01:43:25.800
She could have told you the truth. I didn't poison him.

1663
01:43:26.039 --> 01:43:26.399
I didn't.

1664
01:43:26.520 --> 01:43:29.760
I guess that's something we'll never know for sure, but

1665
01:43:29.800 --> 01:43:32.279
it won't be hard to find out how your housekeeper died.

1666
01:43:32.760 --> 01:43:33.840
Will A Devlin.

1667
01:43:52.119 --> 01:43:56.880
Please allow me to top off your tea? Then it

1668
01:43:56.960 --> 01:44:00.840
seems it's a bit it's a bit tid. Oh no, no, no, no,

1669
01:44:01.399 --> 01:44:04.359
that won't do. Not on a cold December night like this.

1670
01:44:05.239 --> 01:44:10.279
These stone walls are very thick. They keep the cold

1671
01:44:11.199 --> 01:44:16.880
like they keep so many other things inside. They hold

1672
01:44:16.920 --> 01:44:21.439
the warmth as well, But the cold is just so persistent.

1673
01:44:22.319 --> 01:44:25.880
It always seems to win in the end against a

1674
01:44:26.159 --> 01:44:32.560
humble fire. But all that to be said, not everything

1675

1688
01:45:52.119 --> 01:45:56.920
suddenly deviated from normal and brought them to a strange

1689
01:45:57.119 --> 01:45:58.319
new world.

1690
01:46:00.079 --> 01:46:00.319
Yeah.

1691
01:46:11.359 --> 01:46:16.880
Story begins aboard His Majesty's ship, the Submarine Valiant, somewheres

1692
01:46:16.880 --> 01:46:22.840
in the vast Pacific. Captain Farnsworth, commander of the Valiant,

1693
01:46:23.039 --> 01:46:26.359
makes his way along the narrow passageway of the submarine

1694
01:46:26.439 --> 01:46:30.159
to the sick bay and steps into the small cabin.

1695
01:46:31.560 --> 01:46:38.960
Oh well, paid, No, you're wrong, bring flaps it down. Well,

1704
01:47:03.359 --> 01:47:04.439
It's kind of south myself.

1705
01:47:05.439 --> 01:47:07.520
Well, Higgins, you'll have to do what you can for

1706
01:47:07.600 --> 01:47:09.600
him until we reach a ship with the doctor.

1707
01:47:09.760 --> 01:47:15.319
I answer, Fete, where where am I?

1708
01:47:15.319 --> 01:47:19.560

I tell you you were fast down while flying, Lieutenant,

a sea forty seven from Honolu to Japan.

1716
01:47:52.600 --> 01:47:56.439
There only the two of us. Pete was the pilot.

1717
01:47:56.960 --> 01:48:01.039
I was holding down co pilot. We were attached to.

1718
01:48:01.000 --> 01:48:04.319
Air transport and had a board of cargo medical supplies.

1719
01:48:05.840 --> 01:48:06.720
We were six.

1720
01:48:06.600 --> 01:48:09.880
Hours out of Honolulu and I'd.

1721
01:48:09.720 --> 01:48:11.640
Taken over the controls.

1722
01:48:12.439 --> 01:48:17.520
Pete was relaxing in his seat, chewing on a chocolate bar,

1723
01:48:19.000 --> 01:48:19.520
and it was.

1724
01:48:19.520 --> 01:48:21.520
A newspaper we picked up an Honolulu Junior.

1725
01:48:22.199 --> 01:48:24.560
Right, fine, oh yeah, I heard it.

1726
01:48:27.359 --> 01:48:28.560
Now, what's the good news?

1727
01:48:29.800 --> 01:48:33.479
They exploded another atomic bombs?

1728
01:48:34.720 --> 01:48:38.079
Yeah? Anything else of interest?

1729
01:48:38.079 --> 01:48:38.760
That enough?

1730
01:48:39.600 --> 01:48:41.840
All right, what are you doing? I haven't seen that

1731
01:48:41.920 --> 01:48:42.760
paper yet.

1732
01:48:42.960 --> 01:48:43.560
I'm sorry.

1733
01:48:44.640 --> 01:48:48.159
What are you getting so worked up about? What's one

1734
01:48:48.239 --> 01:48:49.680
atomic explosion?

1735
01:48:50.119 --> 01:48:50.720
More or less?

1736
01:48:50.760 --> 01:48:52.800
Ah, you're just a kid, went behind the ears?

1737
01:48:54.399 --> 01:48:55.920
Okay, pop, relaxed.

1738
01:48:57.079 --> 01:48:57.960
I was there.

1739
01:48:59.239 --> 01:49:03.680
The first one was used? Where Hiroshima?

1740
01:49:05.680 --> 01:49:09.800
Oh well, I didn't know that, I said a lot.

1741
01:49:09.840 --> 01:49:10.640
You don't know, Junior.

1742
01:49:12.239 --> 01:49:13.039
We'll give me a chance.

1743
01:49:13.119 --> 01:49:13.359
Will you.

1744
01:49:15.399 --> 01:49:18.119
Went on the plane that actually dropped it?

1745
01:49:18.119 --> 01:49:19.159
Were you?

1746
01:49:19.159 --> 01:49:22.840
No, I was piloting one of the escorts. It must

1747
01:49:22.880 --> 01:49:23.800
have been quite a sight.

1748
01:49:24.800 --> 01:49:28.159
Yeah, I hope I never lived to see another one.

1749
01:49:30.159 --> 01:49:33.319
Yeah, I look at those clowns I had.

1750
01:49:34.119 --> 01:49:37.039
We may be in for a rough trip, Junior, But

1751
01:49:37.279 --> 01:49:45.359
let me take over.

1752
01:49:52.359 --> 01:49:54.640
See look at our rate of speed.

1753
01:49:55.159 --> 01:49:58.800
One hundred and twenty five miles an hour. Yeah, this

1754
01:49:58.960 --> 01:50:00.960
typhoon went fucking as We're hitting a feature of one

1755
01:50:01.039 --> 01:50:04.000
hundred and fifty an hour right in the center of.

1756
01:50:03.920 --> 01:50:10.399
It, wide open, wide open. How about turning back? I

1757
01:50:10.520 --> 01:50:15.079
can for an hour past point of return. We've been

1758
01:50:15.079 --> 01:50:18.119
taking this beating for hours. When's it gonna let out?

1759
01:50:18.239 --> 01:50:22.159
That's hard to say, the worst typhoon I've ever seen.

1760
01:50:24.000 --> 01:50:28.520
Look at the compass completely haywah any idea where we are?

1761
01:50:28.760 --> 01:50:29.039
No?

1762
01:50:29.119 --> 01:50:29.760
Not anymore?

1763
01:50:32.319 --> 01:50:34.760
How long do you think we can take this? What

1764
01:50:34.880 --> 01:50:38.000
I'm worried about is a gas running low?

1765
01:50:38.680 --> 01:50:38.920
Yeah?

1766
01:50:38.920 --> 01:50:42.279
How much we got left? Two hours?

1767
01:50:42.279 --> 01:50:43.720
Two and a half the host.

1768
01:50:45.079 --> 01:50:47.279
I mean we're gonna have to sit down in the drink.

1769
01:50:48.000 --> 01:50:49.920
Yeah. Our one hope is.

1770
01:50:49.880 --> 01:50:51.800
That this lets up when we find a ship to

1771
01:50:51.840 --> 01:50:55.760
sit down there. You better prepare a life raft starting

1772
01:50:55.800 --> 01:50:56.880
with plenty of water and rice.

1773
01:50:57.640 --> 01:51:10.039
Okay, I'll take care of it right away.

1774
01:51:11.439 --> 01:51:13.880
Well, what's as though we come through it?

1775
01:51:14.079 --> 01:51:14.840
Yeah?

1776
01:51:15.000 --> 01:51:17.239
Oh, that was one to tell your grandchildren about.

1777
01:51:19.600 --> 01:51:22.560
There, go to the engine, okay, Jr.

1778
01:51:22.720 --> 01:51:23.479
Get back to the raft.

1779
01:51:23.520 --> 01:51:24.800
Were ready to launch it when we hit.

1780
01:51:24.800 --> 01:51:28.439
All right, T put it's down nice and easy.

1781
01:51:28.680 --> 01:51:30.279
Those are my intentions, JR.

1782
01:51:32.920 --> 01:51:33.600
What's the hell to do?

1783
01:51:34.880 --> 01:51:36.479
Sixteen hundred.

1784
01:51:37.960 --> 01:51:41.640
Fourteen water rock, We're not too bad?

1785
01:51:43.640 --> 01:51:44.640
Eight hundred.

1786
01:51:46.319 --> 01:51:47.279
Six hundred.

1787
01:51:48.920 --> 01:51:54.159
Four wing fletter, don get ready with the hats union

1788
01:51:54.319 --> 01:51:57.600
right without one hundred hang on?

1789
01:52:02.119 --> 01:52:06.479
Y okay, dad, yeah, you're killing fact. You give me

1790
01:52:06.479 --> 01:52:10.680
a hand with the rack. Right, there's a lot of

1791
01:52:10.680 --> 01:52:17.520
water out. I climb in way. Oh yeah, okay.

1792
01:52:17.600 --> 01:52:21.039
The shove off, So far, so good.

1793
01:52:27.560 --> 01:52:30.520
We shoved off into a sea that was running plenty high,

1794
01:52:31.079 --> 01:52:33.079
and a few minutes of waves carried us off and

1795
01:52:33.159 --> 01:52:36.600
the sinking plane was lost to sight. Pete reaged up

1796
01:52:36.600 --> 01:52:39.000
a distress flag so we could be more easily spotted,

1797
01:52:39.800 --> 01:52:49.000
and then we settled back to wait for two nights

1798
01:52:49.000 --> 01:52:51.439
and one day we drifted in a fast running sea

1799
01:52:51.520 --> 01:52:54.760
with a heavy overcast. There wasn't a sign of a

1800
01:52:54.800 --> 01:52:57.720
plane or ship. By the dawn of the second day,

1801
01:52:57.760 --> 01:53:02.239
the overcast lifted and the sea became It was around

1802
01:53:02.279 --> 01:53:04.079
noontime that Pete spotted the.

1803
01:53:05.760 --> 01:53:06.159
Island.

1804
01:53:07.720 --> 01:53:10.359
We rigged up a small sail and began paddling for it.

1805
01:53:13.319 --> 01:53:18.520
You recognize the island, Pete? Any idea which one it

1806
01:53:18.640 --> 01:53:22.399
is h your guess as good as mine.

1807
01:53:22.840 --> 01:53:23.800
Looks fairly big.

1808
01:53:24.439 --> 01:53:26.000
Yeah.

1809
01:53:26.079 --> 01:53:27.880
Hey, look the channels with the reef.

1810
01:53:27.960 --> 01:53:30.680
The end of the lagoon is directly ahead. The tide

1811
01:53:30.720 --> 01:53:32.319
is helping to carry us in good.

1812
01:53:33.039 --> 01:53:36.359
So we want to end up on those reefs. Brother,

1813
01:53:37.079 --> 01:53:39.720
we're really moved. Another manute there to them, will hit

1814
01:53:39.760 --> 01:53:42.399
the beach. I think there might be some ladies on

1815
01:53:42.439 --> 01:53:46.079
the island that should be certainly looks big enough. Why

1816
01:53:46.119 --> 01:53:47.359
don't se any huts or anything?

1817
01:53:47.960 --> 01:53:49.800
H hold on, I'm going to.

1818
01:53:49.760 --> 01:53:50.199
Hit the beach.

1819
01:53:54.000 --> 01:53:56.239
Yeah that does it.

1820
01:53:57.159 --> 01:53:58.119
Hop out and give me a hand.

1821
01:53:58.479 --> 01:53:59.319
Gouge out of the water.

1822
01:53:59.479 --> 01:54:05.720
Yeah, right, couldn't be able to walk alright, pull?

1823
01:54:05.920 --> 01:54:08.399
Okay, that's a little more.

1824
01:54:09.840 --> 01:54:14.479
Okay theah.

1825
01:54:14.760 --> 01:54:18.600
H what another those conquis Yeah, let's begin looking at

1826
01:54:18.600 --> 01:54:19.560
the island over Jr.

1827
01:54:20.520 --> 01:54:22.159
People we can find any natives.

1828
01:54:25.680 --> 01:54:27.640
He took some food and the canteen of water from

1829
01:54:27.680 --> 01:54:30.399
the raft and we started walking along the beach out

1830
01:54:30.399 --> 01:54:32.840
and then cutting in them to look for water. It

1831
01:54:32.920 --> 01:54:35.840
took us six hours to walk around the island, and

1832
01:54:35.920 --> 01:54:38.680
the sun was just setting as.

1833
01:54:38.560 --> 01:54:42.159
We got back to the life raft. So down, Junior,

1834
01:54:42.439 --> 01:54:45.560
take a load off your feet. I don't mind if.

1835
01:54:45.399 --> 01:54:45.760
I do.

1836
01:54:47.279 --> 01:54:48.960
Cigarette nice.

1837
01:54:50.039 --> 01:54:51.840
Well, we found.

1838
01:54:51.800 --> 01:54:56.279
Fresh water signing that natives had once lived here, but

1839
01:54:56.319 --> 01:55:01.560
they sure anymore. No, they're strange considering the islands three

1840
01:55:01.600 --> 01:55:06.039
miles wide, almost two miles long. I've seen natives living

1841
01:55:06.119 --> 01:55:09.760
on islands one half the side. Won't know why they left,

1842
01:55:10.159 --> 01:55:15.680
got any ideas? I was just you and me, Sit

1843
01:55:15.800 --> 01:55:21.319
tight and lead the right riley that we're picked.

1844
01:55:21.079 --> 01:55:23.760
Up, and the first thing we're doing in the morning

1845
01:55:23.840 --> 01:55:26.119
is run up a distress signal on one of the

1846
01:55:26.159 --> 01:55:29.920
palm trees. We'll also get brushed together for fire check.

1847
01:55:31.760 --> 01:55:34.319
Why did you say we have suppering turned in? It's

1848
01:55:34.359 --> 01:55:36.439
been a long day.

1849
01:55:37.560 --> 01:55:51.199
Sounds like a good idea.

1850
01:55:52.800 --> 01:56:02.840
Pete, Pete, wake up? Huh two a m. Two am?

1851
01:56:02.920 --> 01:56:04.279
What are you waking me for?

1852
01:56:04.560 --> 01:56:05.600
Go to sleep?

1853
01:56:05.920 --> 01:56:06.359
Indete.

1854
01:56:06.520 --> 01:56:10.640
I heard something moving around in the brush inland, probably

1855
01:56:10.800 --> 01:56:14.760
wild pigs islands, for it made it made too much

1856
01:56:14.840 --> 01:56:17.319
noise for a play small junior.

1857
01:56:17.399 --> 01:56:20.079
It certainly wasn't an elephant or maybe not.

1858
01:56:20.159 --> 01:56:27.079
But do you hear that? Yeah?

1859
01:56:27.239 --> 01:56:28.000
I heard?

1860
01:56:29.479 --> 01:56:32.600
Does that sound like a pig in the brush?

1861
01:56:33.079 --> 01:56:35.560
I remember that I heard of him?

1862
01:56:35.600 --> 01:56:36.319
Who's kidding?

1863
01:56:36.399 --> 01:56:36.760
Who?

1864
01:56:38.199 --> 01:56:39.359
Okay? Okay?

1865
01:56:39.359 --> 01:56:40.840
When I get my forty five.

1866
01:56:43.159 --> 01:56:47.079
All right, come on, let's have a look and step lightly.

1867
01:56:50.439 --> 01:56:56.319
Sounds as if it's older that way. Yeah, and listen

1868
01:56:56.359 --> 01:57:01.520
to that. It almost does sound like an elephant. Look,

1869
01:57:01.640 --> 01:57:03.319
the moon's coming up behind those clouds.

1870
01:57:03.319 --> 01:57:05.640
That's a break. Yeah, we're getting closer.

1871
01:57:06.640 --> 01:57:08.800
We'd better take it easy.

1872
01:57:09.800 --> 01:57:12.600
The sound of it. That forty five years isn't going

1873
01:57:12.680 --> 01:57:16.079
to do much good. I got this, celion, I'm dreaming.

1874
01:57:16.119 --> 01:57:21.439
All this happened on dozens of tropical islands like this way, biggest.

1875
01:57:21.079 --> 01:57:23.119
Thing your front on that end of a wild pig.

1876
01:57:23.680 --> 01:57:28.199
That's no wild pig, brother, that's one of This seems

1877
01:57:28.239 --> 01:57:30.800
like a dream and the devil could it be?

1878
01:57:31.319 --> 01:57:32.119
You see anything?

1879
01:57:32.239 --> 01:57:40.159
Yet without those palm lea the shop, they're okay, less

1880
01:57:40.199 --> 01:57:42.960
of that, god Lord.

1881
01:57:44.439 --> 01:57:53.359
Look, it was like a nightmare, a nightmare you can't

1882
01:57:53.479 --> 01:57:54.119
escape from.

1883
01:57:54.279 --> 01:57:57.520
Dry as you will. They are fifty yards.

1884
01:57:57.199 --> 01:58:01.079
Away in a clearing in the underbrush was a monster,

1885
01:58:02.159 --> 01:58:05.319
A monster that baffled the eye and brain for a moment,

1886
01:58:05.399 --> 01:58:07.680
then began to come into focus and take shape.

1887
01:58:08.399 --> 01:58:09.840
What I saw before me was.

1888
01:58:09.840 --> 01:58:15.119
A water crab, only one hundred times larger than the

1889
01:58:15.159 --> 01:58:19.800
crabs that scurried along the beach. The monster crab and

1890
01:58:19.840 --> 01:58:25.640
the clearing stood fully twenty feet high, with legs the

1891
01:58:25.720 --> 01:58:30.279
thickness of palm tree trunks. The antenna on its frightening

1892
01:58:30.319 --> 01:58:34.720
head was large, warm, and its eyes.

1893
01:58:34.399 --> 01:58:38.479
Were unbearably evil even from a distance.

1894
01:58:39.479 --> 01:58:47.039
Its twelve legs carried it slowly but lightly through the underbrush.

1895
01:58:47.560 --> 01:58:51.000
Don't move down, we don't want to attract this attention.

1896
01:58:51.439 --> 01:58:51.680
Pat.

1897
01:58:53.640 --> 01:58:57.279
What is it? I don't know. It's a crab of.

1898
01:58:57.319 --> 01:59:01.000
Some sort, only one hundred time times larger than any

1899
01:59:01.039 --> 01:59:01.800
I've ever seen it.

1900
01:59:02.279 --> 01:59:04.479
Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

1901
01:59:05.079 --> 01:59:08.600
All the size of it must be at least eighteen

1902
01:59:08.680 --> 01:59:12.239
feet high.

1903
01:59:11.199 --> 01:59:15.039
And those claws you can bark a car under it's

1904
01:59:15.159 --> 01:59:15.840
belly front.

1905
01:59:16.000 --> 01:59:20.079
Can't believe it.

1906
01:59:20.079 --> 01:59:21.159
It's moving off.

1907
01:59:21.640 --> 01:59:22.560
Yeah.

1908
01:59:22.760 --> 01:59:24.960
Do you think there maybe others like it around?

1909
01:59:26.319 --> 01:59:26.680
I don't know.

1910
01:59:27.800 --> 01:59:28.319
I hope not.

1911
01:59:29.439 --> 01:59:33.039
Look, it's bully about the beach and I see it.

1912
01:59:34.239 --> 01:59:39.000
Yet I still can't believe. Maybe it's an hallucination, both

1913
01:59:39.039 --> 01:59:40.720
of us having the same hallucination.

1914
01:59:40.920 --> 01:59:44.119
Hardly, Well, how do you account for it?

1915
01:59:44.199 --> 01:59:44.840
I can.

1916
01:59:46.159 --> 01:59:56.159
It's on the beach going into the water. Yeah, Hei, God, God, Look.

1917
01:59:57.600 --> 02:00:01.079
We're better stay here, June and just it tight for.

1918
02:00:01.039 --> 02:00:17.720
The rest of the night. H it's good to see

1919
02:00:17.800 --> 02:00:22.039
daylight again. Yeah, let's take a walk over that clearing

1920
02:00:22.079 --> 02:00:25.279
the underbrush where we saw it.

1921
02:00:25.960 --> 02:00:30.119
Okay, and what do you think about it?

1922
02:00:30.600 --> 02:00:31.239
And I don't know.

1923
02:00:32.960 --> 02:00:34.880
Well, maybe what we saw was just a fluke of nature.

1924
02:00:34.880 --> 02:00:38.680
It is possible, yes, possible.

1925
02:00:39.479 --> 02:00:40.960
What other explanation can there be?

1926
02:00:42.399 --> 02:00:46.920
I've got one, But it's so incredible. Let's happened, and

1927
02:00:47.000 --> 02:00:49.760
I'll tell you later. I want to think about it

1928
02:00:49.760 --> 02:00:50.119
some more.

1929
02:00:50.960 --> 02:00:53.760
Rem there we are here, here's the clearing.

1930
02:00:54.000 --> 02:00:57.720
Yeah, we first saw it by those palm trees over there.

1931
02:01:00.399 --> 02:01:07.680
Look, tracks of the monster and the sad Look how

1932
02:01:07.800 --> 02:01:09.439
large and deep the tracks are.

1933
02:01:10.199 --> 02:01:13.560
Yeah, it was a beautiful morning.

1934
02:01:15.399 --> 02:01:16.159
Until now.

1935
02:01:17.439 --> 02:01:23.960
Come on, it's following. Okay, Now they they go through

1936
02:01:23.960 --> 02:01:27.720
the brush here and towards the beach. Yeah, yeah, this

1937
02:01:27.840 --> 02:01:32.319
is that's the way we saw it go. You know,

1938
02:01:32.920 --> 02:01:36.279
brushes flattened as though a tank had rolled through here.

1939
02:01:36.359 --> 02:01:37.840
There's no problem following it.

1940
02:01:38.840 --> 02:01:41.479
Look, there's way it came out on the beach, and

1941
02:01:41.680 --> 02:01:44.000
there's the tracks on the sand eating into the water.

1942
02:01:46.039 --> 02:01:47.159
It's out there.

1943
02:01:48.720 --> 02:01:51.159
Somewhere in the waters of the lagoon.

1944
02:01:51.840 --> 02:01:53.680
Yeah.

1945
02:01:53.720 --> 02:01:57.720
Look, let's unload the raft then paddle out into the lagoon.

1946
02:01:58.239 --> 02:01:58.800
What for?

1947
02:02:00.119 --> 02:02:03.199
Holy most, don't tell me you're going looking for that monster?

1948
02:02:03.359 --> 02:02:05.680
Not exactly, but I got a hunch and I want

1949
02:02:05.680 --> 02:02:06.560
to check on it.

1950
02:02:06.560 --> 02:02:09.720
It's crazy paddling out into that lagoon. How do you

1951
02:02:09.720 --> 02:02:11.920
know what I want to attack once we get out there.

1952
02:02:11.960 --> 02:02:14.399
I don't. It's just a chance we'll have to take.

1953
02:02:14.560 --> 02:02:17.159
But why so that I can find the answer at all?

1954
02:02:17.359 --> 02:02:17.399
Is?

1955
02:02:19.600 --> 02:02:26.479
How are you going with me? Okay, I'm going with

1956
02:02:26.520 --> 02:02:45.319
you a feet for an hour, I've been paddling across.

1957
02:02:44.960 --> 02:02:47.199
The lagod All you've been doing is piring.

1958
02:02:46.960 --> 02:02:47.840
Down into the water.

1959
02:02:48.640 --> 02:02:50.199
They're trying to spot the monster.

1960
02:02:50.640 --> 02:02:52.319
Law, Well, it is no monster.

1961
02:02:52.359 --> 02:02:53.119
You're looking for what?

1962
02:02:53.359 --> 02:02:53.560
Then?

1963
02:02:55.640 --> 02:02:56.359
I think we found it?

1964
02:02:56.439 --> 02:02:56.880
Found what?

1965
02:02:57.760 --> 02:03:00.000
Take a look over the side into the water.

1966
02:03:01.880 --> 02:03:02.439
I don't see it.

1967
02:03:02.840 --> 02:03:04.039
Oh, that son's been in your eyes.

1968
02:03:04.119 --> 02:03:06.720
Keep looking towards the bottom till your eyes get used.

1969
02:03:06.640 --> 02:03:07.000
To the water.

1970
02:03:08.960 --> 02:03:09.920
I don't see it.

1971
02:03:11.000 --> 02:03:13.640
But wait a minute, I don't hardly make it out,

1972
02:03:13.680 --> 02:03:17.760
but it seems to be a wreck on the bottom,

1973
02:03:17.800 --> 02:03:18.439
a big one.

1974
02:03:18.640 --> 02:03:19.279
It is a wreck.

1975
02:03:20.560 --> 02:03:22.760
That's a battleship. You see on the bottom.

1976
02:03:22.800 --> 02:03:31.760
A battleship. Yeah, don't you understand this island? It's bikini bikini.

1977
02:03:33.760 --> 02:03:36.439
You mean you mean when they drop an atomic bottom

1978
02:03:36.439 --> 02:03:37.600
in those old bettleships.

1979
02:03:37.840 --> 02:03:40.399
A dozen ships on the bottom here, all sunk by

1980
02:03:40.479 --> 02:03:43.359
atomic bomb test Bikini.

1981
02:03:46.039 --> 02:03:48.039
You don't think the island's radioactive, do you?

1982
02:03:48.159 --> 02:03:49.640
Well, not enough to do us any harm.

1983
02:03:49.720 --> 02:03:52.800
It's been years since the test. You said you had

1984
02:03:52.840 --> 02:03:55.600
a crazy explanation for that monster we saw last night?

1985
02:03:56.439 --> 02:03:58.000
Does that tie in with all this?

1986
02:03:58.279 --> 02:03:59.119
Yeah?

1987
02:03:59.640 --> 02:04:03.520
How Look You'll think I'm nuts, But here goes. We

1988
02:04:03.640 --> 02:04:05.479
dropped the bomb into this lagoon to see what an

1989
02:04:05.520 --> 02:04:06.880
underwater explosion.

1990
02:04:06.439 --> 02:04:08.720
Would do to those warships. Now what are you getting at?

1991
02:04:08.960 --> 02:04:11.039
We know what the atomic bomb did to the ships,

1992
02:04:11.960 --> 02:04:13.840
but do we know what effect it had on the

1993
02:04:13.960 --> 02:04:15.720
fish life here.

1994
02:04:15.560 --> 02:04:16.159
In the lagoon.

1995
02:04:16.600 --> 02:04:19.199
He was saying that the monster crab we saw last

1996
02:04:19.279 --> 02:04:22.239
night was the result of the bomb dropped.

1997
02:04:21.920 --> 02:04:24.800
Into this lagou What other explanation.

1998
02:04:24.319 --> 02:04:24.800
Can there be?

1999
02:04:25.000 --> 02:04:26.640
Remember, damn, the effect of.

2000
02:04:26.560 --> 02:04:29.640
The bombers or biers at Hiroshima left wounds and illnesses

2001
02:04:29.720 --> 02:04:33.439
that doctors had never seen before. Now, who's to say

2002
02:04:33.520 --> 02:04:36.479
that the radioactivity in this lagoon couldn't have caused fish

2003
02:04:36.560 --> 02:04:36.880
life to.

2004
02:04:37.000 --> 02:04:38.880
Multiply and signs one hundred four?

2005
02:04:39.399 --> 02:04:40.840
It just can't be Why not.

2006
02:04:41.199 --> 02:04:45.720
Radioactivity causing a crab to grow a thousand times bigger?

2007
02:04:45.920 --> 02:04:48.399
Or how else k account for that monster crab we

2008
02:04:48.520 --> 02:04:49.359
saw last night?

2009
02:04:52.520 --> 02:04:52.920
I don't know.

2010
02:04:53.239 --> 02:04:57.800
Well, think about it. Meanwhile, let's paddle back to the beach.

2011
02:05:02.159 --> 02:05:04.840
The two of us padded silently across the lagoon to

2012
02:05:04.880 --> 02:05:07.399
the beach, the dage wrapped under the water.

2013
02:05:08.880 --> 02:05:11.880
Time and time again, I found myself turning and look

2014
02:05:11.920 --> 02:05:15.239
out over the waters. The lagoon is Peach's words ran

2015
02:05:15.359 --> 02:05:20.560
through my mind. His explanation seemed an impossible one, and yet.

2016
02:05:22.079 --> 02:05:23.760
What other answer could there be?

2017
02:05:25.399 --> 02:05:28.600
The two of us sat on the beach, smoking, watching

2018
02:05:28.720 --> 02:05:32.199
the moon come up over the lagoon of Bikini.

2019
02:05:34.239 --> 02:05:36.239
Shure, it's a beautiful night. Yeah.

2020
02:05:37.840 --> 02:05:39.960
Do you think I'll send search plains of white Pete?

2021
02:05:40.119 --> 02:05:41.000
I'll send her later.

2022
02:05:41.119 --> 02:05:44.159
They'll find us as long as we have fresh water

2023
02:05:44.239 --> 02:05:45.079
and fish were okay?

2024
02:05:45.880 --> 02:05:46.520
Yeah, I guess so.

2025
02:05:52.000 --> 02:05:57.880
The walk lagoon, Holy smoke, Frank spoon shurned. That was

2026
02:05:57.880 --> 02:06:01.119
out of where a dozen whales. But if he wins

2027
02:06:01.279 --> 02:06:07.600
on these waters, people, there's something enormous out out there.

2028
02:06:07.560 --> 02:06:09.800
Frushing a lot, and maybe a little blake turned the surface,

2029
02:06:09.840 --> 02:06:10.720
and we'll be able to see it.

2030
02:06:12.159 --> 02:06:14.159
Be that monster crab we saw last night.

2031
02:06:14.319 --> 02:06:15.960
Oh it's something bigger, much bigger.

2032
02:06:17.560 --> 02:06:20.439
Levels make whatever it is a couple couple hundred feet.

2033
02:06:20.279 --> 02:06:23.479
In length the way the water's being turned up.

2034
02:06:23.520 --> 02:06:25.920
There's a fight going on out there.

2035
02:06:27.199 --> 02:06:29.439
Fuck it coming out of the water.

2036
02:06:30.439 --> 02:06:32.119
The monster crab we saw last night.

2037
02:06:32.199 --> 02:06:36.880
Another following as to redis dan.

2038
02:06:38.000 --> 02:06:39.159
Some of them are turning this way.

2039
02:06:40.039 --> 02:06:41.159
Come on, we got to get out of here.

2040
02:06:41.199 --> 02:06:42.279
What about supply, there's no.

2041
02:06:42.319 --> 02:06:44.199
Time to grab him, get them move on his way.

2042
02:06:46.720 --> 02:06:50.039
There there were a dozen of the coming out of

2043
02:06:50.079 --> 02:06:51.560
the water. They came out of the gold.

2044
02:06:51.800 --> 02:06:53.720
They fleeing the fight that was going on out there.

2045
02:06:54.399 --> 02:06:58.600
But if it is another coon, I don't want to see.

2046
02:06:58.600 --> 02:07:04.039
It must be the side of the destroyer. Run rather

2047
02:07:04.119 --> 02:07:09.239
to get bush. Stop from minute if you are by h.

2048
02:07:11.000 --> 02:07:15.119
H hear that?

2049
02:07:16.600 --> 02:07:21.399
Yeah, those monster cratch There must be dozens of them

2050
02:07:22.439 --> 02:07:23.000
over running.

2051
02:07:23.079 --> 02:07:23.239
Yell.

2052
02:07:24.600 --> 02:07:27.520
Okay, it's good bye.

2053
02:07:27.800 --> 02:07:28.119
Cloud.

2054
02:07:28.199 --> 02:07:30.680
Don't just start Look, can't see much now.

2055
02:07:32.000 --> 02:07:33.199
Those crabs.

2056
02:07:34.840 --> 02:07:36.159
I said, they're all over the place.

2057
02:07:36.319 --> 02:07:42.079
Yeah, might put you No, then we might run into

2058
02:07:42.119 --> 02:07:46.520
one in the dark. We're better off staying here. What

2059
02:07:47.279 --> 02:07:48.399
seems to be hitting this way?

2060
02:07:48.960 --> 02:07:50.880
Can you make dot from which direction is coming.

2061
02:07:51.560 --> 02:07:59.279
No, come out and find those clouds. And Lu said,

2062
02:08:00.439 --> 02:08:03.880
it's coming closer. H what are you doing with that

2063
02:08:04.000 --> 02:08:07.319
forty five? It's better than nothing. Maybe the sound of

2064
02:08:07.359 --> 02:08:08.439
shots might frighten it all.

2065
02:08:08.600 --> 02:08:13.159
It's get a cosser all the time. I can't see

2066
02:08:13.199 --> 02:08:20.000
it because you know, keep your eyes open. Sound almost

2067
02:08:20.000 --> 02:08:20.560
on top of it.

2068
02:08:21.319 --> 02:08:23.920
Pee, there is you know?

2069
02:08:26.399 --> 02:08:26.439
No?

2070
02:08:27.399 --> 02:08:27.439
No?

2071
02:08:32.439 --> 02:08:36.720
Oh? Pay oh, look, won't reply.

2072
02:08:38.159 --> 02:08:40.600
Bad, I dare.

2073
02:08:42.279 --> 02:08:46.680
My quiet. Let me look it. M h God Lord,

2074
02:08:48.920 --> 02:08:56.439
m the open. Don't move, Pete. I'm going back to

2075
02:08:56.479 --> 02:09:00.399
the peach for medical supply. No, no, no, don't. That's

2076
02:09:00.479 --> 02:09:10.239
too dangerous. It's still use anyway, don't use and oh, Pete,

2077
02:09:12.000 --> 02:09:16.520
person to the first first thing in the morning.

2078
02:09:17.359 --> 02:09:24.279
The raft is still okay, shove off, don't don't stay here,

2079
02:09:25.479 --> 02:09:26.439
it's too dangerous.

2080
02:09:28.000 --> 02:09:31.560
Let me go for the medical supply and on. While

2081
02:09:31.600 --> 02:09:37.840
you're rescued, explain to them strange new world.

2082
02:09:39.319 --> 02:09:40.199
Sea life.

2083
02:09:41.720 --> 02:09:52.680
Multiplying hundred foward radioactivity of atomic bomb, and lookom sea

2084
02:09:52.760 --> 02:10:08.600
life will increase overrun Pete.

2085
02:10:20.960 --> 02:10:23.159
I sat there beside Pete's body for the rest of

2086
02:10:23.199 --> 02:10:27.159
the night, and several times I heard monster crabs passing

2087
02:10:27.199 --> 02:10:28.119
in the brush nearby.

2088
02:10:28.720 --> 02:10:33.920
I didn't leave. In the morning, island was once again peaceful.

2089
02:10:34.880 --> 02:10:38.800
Trial A buried feet on a high hill and then

2090
02:10:38.840 --> 02:10:39.760
returned to the beach.

2091
02:10:40.840 --> 02:10:44.479
The raft was overturned, the supply was gone. I overhauled

2092
02:10:44.520 --> 02:10:49.640
the raft, gathered coconuts and a supply of water. By noon,

2093
02:10:49.760 --> 02:10:52.399
I was paddling across the three miles ago into the

2094
02:10:52.520 --> 02:10:56.880
channels through the reefs that led to sea. As dust came,

2095
02:10:57.760 --> 02:11:00.079
I was several miles out to me.

2096
02:11:10.520 --> 02:11:14.760
Two nights and days slip by without my seeing a

2097
02:11:14.880 --> 02:11:20.880
plane or ship, and more days. Soon my order was gone.

2098
02:11:22.119 --> 02:11:24.960
The days it follow one was of thirst and torture.

2099
02:11:25.960 --> 02:11:29.359
The will of live left me, and I lost consciousness.

2100
02:11:30.399 --> 02:11:33.520
The next thing I remember was feeling hands lift me

2101
02:11:34.039 --> 02:11:35.640
and finding myself here.

2102
02:11:37.960 --> 02:11:39.840
Where did you say?

2103
02:11:39.960 --> 02:11:40.880
I am here?

2104
02:11:40.920 --> 02:11:49.319
His murderstyship, submarine vented submarine vet. Yes, where where don't

2105
02:11:49.319 --> 02:11:52.199
you pick me up? Fifty mile south east of the

2106
02:11:52.279 --> 02:11:53.600
island at the beginning bi.

2107
02:11:55.319 --> 02:11:55.880
Bikini.

2108
02:11:56.399 --> 02:12:03.760
Now you must die back wrist. What you need is sleep, sleep, sleep,

2109
02:12:04.520 --> 02:12:06.920
that said close.

2110
02:12:06.680 --> 02:12:12.520
Your eyes, I said, lad, he's falling asleep, sir, Yes,

2111
02:12:13.880 --> 02:12:14.640
poor devil.

2112
02:12:15.520 --> 02:12:18.079
Did you catch his ravens about monsters and all that?

2113
02:12:18.199 --> 02:12:18.239
So?

2114
02:12:18.600 --> 02:12:21.680
Yes, poor chap is clearly out of his mind. Let's speak.

2115
02:12:21.800 --> 02:12:24.800
So it is Ravens gives the one that the chills

2116
02:12:24.840 --> 02:12:29.319
I do. It's quite so, quite so, general take it?

2117
02:12:29.600 --> 02:12:30.159
What's happened to?

2118
02:12:30.720 --> 02:12:32.279
He was as if we've hit a derelict?

2119
02:12:32.720 --> 02:12:33.079
Carry on?

2120
02:12:35.399 --> 02:12:37.039
What was there walking after?

2121
02:12:37.199 --> 02:12:37.239
It?

2122
02:12:37.439 --> 02:12:37.840
Too bad?

2123
02:12:38.600 --> 02:12:39.640
We may have it a derelict.

2124
02:12:39.680 --> 02:12:42.199
It's hard to say. Captain's looking into it. Arrest is.

2125
02:12:46.800 --> 02:12:48.159
I've been tossed about.

2126
02:12:48.000 --> 02:12:50.159
Like a pall speak.

2127
02:12:51.760 --> 02:12:56.000
Drag stuff, nonsense, slat, I just slip back and leave

2128
02:12:56.199 --> 02:12:57.159
it here.

2129
02:12:58.960 --> 02:13:05.079
Oh yeah, there's Captain Bonds was speaking, were being attacked

2130
02:13:05.239 --> 02:13:07.279
by some great amaded.

2131
02:13:08.199 --> 02:13:28.800
All from members through battle session. This is a mysterious trafford.

2132
02:13:28.960 --> 02:13:31.039
And did you enjoy that trick?

2133
02:13:32.199 --> 02:13:32.239
Or?

2134
02:13:32.319 --> 02:13:34.199
What happened to the submarine Valiant?

2135
02:13:34.800 --> 02:13:35.000
Well?

2136
02:13:35.279 --> 02:13:37.960
After a two hour battle with an unseen enemy.

2137
02:13:38.159 --> 02:13:41.960
It managed to escape, but at a naval court of inquiry,

2138
02:13:42.159 --> 02:13:45.840
Captain Farnsworth was at a loss to explain the nature

2139
02:13:45.920 --> 02:13:46.560
of the enemy.

2140
02:13:46.760 --> 02:13:48.560
Is submarine have been in battle with?

2141
02:13:49.359 --> 02:13:49.479
Well?

2142
02:13:49.520 --> 02:13:52.560
Of course there was Lieutenant van Walker's.

2143
02:13:52.119 --> 02:13:55.720
Testimony, but obviously the poor fellow was out of his head.

2144
02:13:55.800 --> 02:13:59.720
Whoever heard of monster crabs twenty feet high? And denizens

2145
02:13:59.760 --> 02:14:03.439
of the deep as large as a destroyer, the court

2146
02:14:03.520 --> 02:14:06.640
could reach no verdict in no matter of the submarine valiant.

2147
02:14:07.039 --> 02:14:09.039
And they're the case resting.

2148
02:14:10.039 --> 02:14:10.199
Now.

2149
02:14:10.279 --> 02:14:13.680
If by some chance, you should happen to take a

2150
02:14:13.760 --> 02:14:17.239
voyage across the Pacific, and one night, as you stroll

2151
02:14:17.359 --> 02:14:19.720
on deck you see a gigant.

2152
02:14:21.319 --> 02:14:25.399
Oh you have to get off here. I'm sorry, but

2153
02:14:25.479 --> 02:14:29.239
I'm sure we'll meet again. I take this same train

2154
02:14:29.720 --> 02:14:32.079
every week at this same time.

2155
02:14:41.560 --> 02:14:45.399
My dear, you know what one of my favorite elements

2156
02:14:45.479 --> 02:14:50.199
of this holiday is this New Year's Eve, this New

2157
02:14:50.359 --> 02:14:55.720
Year's baby, as it were. I love the idea of

2158
02:14:55.920 --> 02:15:01.279
celebrating midnight. Many of us don't ever se midnight, at

2159
02:15:01.359 --> 02:15:03.840
least not often. Of course, you and I are not

2160
02:15:04.439 --> 02:15:09.039
the average person. Many are tucked away in bed when

2161
02:15:09.119 --> 02:15:13.279
twelve o'clock strikes. They never see midnight, or the witching

2162
02:15:13.319 --> 02:15:18.920
hour for that matter, except perhaps on New Year's as

2163
02:15:18.960 --> 02:15:23.760
they celebrate the time that they would usually avoid. This

2164
02:15:23.960 --> 02:15:28.600
story is about three faces found at that very time.

2165
02:15:31.159 --> 02:15:35.479
Yes, Roma wines taste better because only Roma selects from

2166
02:15:35.520 --> 02:15:39.920
the world's greatest wine reserves for your pleasure. And now

2167
02:15:40.199 --> 02:15:46.359
Roma Wines RMA. Roma Wines presents Uspence.

2168
02:15:49.800 --> 02:15:52.880
Night Rama winds bringing mister William Bendix as star of

2169
02:15:53.159 --> 02:15:56.560
Three Faces at Midnight, a suspense play produced, edited and

2170
02:15:56.640 --> 02:15:58.960
directed for Roma Wines by William Spear.

2171
02:16:03.079 --> 02:16:07.399
Suspense Radio's outstanding theater of thrills is presented for your

2172
02:16:07.560 --> 02:16:14.239
enjoyment by Roma Wines that RMA Roma Wines, those better

02:16:19.800 --> 02:16:24.640
For friendly entertaining, for delightful dining. Yes, right now a

2175
02:16:24.720 --> 02:16:28.199
glassful would be very pleasant, as Roma Wines bring you

2176
02:16:28.279 --> 02:16:32.120
William Bendix in a remarkable tale of suspense.

2177
02:16:37.360 --> 02:16:40.200
They say they got fifty eight million jobs in this country,

2178
02:16:40.799 --> 02:16:45.159
fifty eight million jobs, and I had to pick this one. Well,

2179
02:16:45.280 --> 02:16:47.559
that's the way it goes. Some guys that got some

2180
02:16:47.719 --> 02:16:50.239
special ability that other guys don't have. They just get

2181
02:16:50.280 --> 02:16:53.920
picked out of the crowd, I guess, in spite of themselves. Well,

2182
02:16:54.399 --> 02:16:57.319
this day, I'm walking along Central Avenue, not paying much

2183
02:16:57.360 --> 02:17:01.200
attention to anything in particular, when I see the sign help.

2184
02:17:01.280 --> 02:17:04.520
One of it says jobs, and it's got a list

2185
02:17:04.600 --> 02:17:07.040
of different kinds of jobs like chauffeur.

2186
02:17:06.879 --> 02:17:08.200
House paintings, salesman.

2187
02:17:09.159 --> 02:17:11.840
Nothing so funny about that but then I see what

2188
02:17:11.959 --> 02:17:14.600
kind of door they're paying, and brother, what kind of

2189
02:17:14.680 --> 02:17:15.319
does there pain?

2190
02:17:16.159 --> 02:17:18.920
I'm thinking, maybe this inflation ain't such a bad idea

2191
02:17:19.040 --> 02:17:20.760
after all. And I walk in.

2192
02:17:21.959 --> 02:17:24.000
Well, there's quite a bunch of guys in there, nactually

2193
02:17:24.079 --> 02:17:26.600
sitting around on benches, and I sit down, and every

2194
02:17:26.680 --> 02:17:28.040
so often a door.

2195
02:17:28.000 --> 02:17:31.600
Opens and a tough looking, little gray haired guy picks

2196
02:17:31.639 --> 02:17:32.639
out a guy, and the guy.

2197
02:17:32.559 --> 02:17:34.799
Goes into sort of an office with him, and that's

2198
02:17:34.840 --> 02:17:37.360
the last we ever see of it. So this keeps

2199
02:17:37.440 --> 02:17:39.520
happening for a while, and I'm thinking this guy must

2200
02:17:39.559 --> 02:17:40.959
really be handing out the jobs.

2201
02:17:41.040 --> 02:17:44.920
And then the door opens again. The guy's looking at me. Okay,

2202
02:17:45.040 --> 02:17:46.840
you me, yes, you.

2203
02:17:49.120 --> 02:17:49.399
All right?

2204
02:17:49.440 --> 02:17:49.840
Shidam?

2205
02:17:51.159 --> 02:17:56.120
What's your name? Walter's first name? What's the matter? Don't

2206
02:17:56.159 --> 02:17:58.280
you know it? Muscles?

2207
02:17:58.319 --> 02:18:00.360
What muscles? You up?

2208
02:18:00.600 --> 02:18:03.319
Don't try to clown with me? Pale? What's your name?

2209
02:18:03.719 --> 02:18:04.959
Listen for your information.

2210
02:18:05.120 --> 02:18:08.920
My first name is Sylvester, only I don't like the

2211
02:18:09.000 --> 02:18:12.200
name Sylvester, so most people don't call me Sylvester, and

2212
02:18:12.280 --> 02:18:14.239
I kind of it's better for them that way, So

2213
02:18:14.360 --> 02:18:15.360
they call me muscles.

2214
02:18:15.879 --> 02:18:16.639
Now you catch on?

2215
02:18:17.079 --> 02:18:22.319
Yeah, live here in town. They from Brooklyn, I should

2216
02:18:22.319 --> 02:18:23.680
have known it. But you're right, Q.

2217
02:18:24.120 --> 02:18:25.079
Come again, skip it?

2218
02:18:25.120 --> 02:18:27.079
Skip it? Got any friends in town?

2219
02:18:27.479 --> 02:18:27.520
No?

2220
02:18:27.920 --> 02:18:29.000
Just and I can see why.

2221
02:18:29.879 --> 02:18:31.799
Look, Pap, are you talking to me about a job

2222
02:18:31.959 --> 02:18:32.879
or a pokmon nose?

2223
02:18:33.120 --> 02:18:33.159
What?

2224
02:18:34.040 --> 02:18:35.799
You wouldn't try to get tough with me, would you?

2225
02:18:35.879 --> 02:18:41.079
Your big bare boon? But is is that gun loaded?

2226
02:18:41.239 --> 02:18:41.440
Yeah?

2227
02:18:42.399 --> 02:18:43.680
Now you want to make something out of it?

2228
02:18:43.879 --> 02:18:43.920
No?

2229
02:18:44.079 --> 02:18:45.319
I don't. And how do you like that?

2230
02:18:46.959 --> 02:18:49.200
But if you will put that heater down for a minute, Pop,

2231
02:18:49.280 --> 02:18:51.079
I will bend you around like a pretzel.

2232
02:18:51.879 --> 02:18:52.079
You know.

2233
02:18:52.239 --> 02:18:55.520
I think you're gonna be all right. So yeah, hold it, now,

2234
02:18:55.559 --> 02:18:58.079
hold it, hold it. Don't get so. I was just

2235
02:18:58.200 --> 02:19:01.559
trying something out on you. That's all. You take. Awful chances, Pop.

2236
02:19:02.120 --> 02:19:04.280
Guns don't worry you much, do they?

2237
02:19:04.399 --> 02:19:04.719
Guns?

2238
02:19:05.479 --> 02:19:08.639
I spent the last four years playing with firearms, fornkle whiskeys.

2239
02:19:09.280 --> 02:19:11.639
Guns to me are like the measles. I don't worry

2240
02:19:11.639 --> 02:19:14.120
about him. I I just got a healthy respect for

2241
02:19:14.200 --> 02:19:17.120
him and I like to keep my distance. That's especially

2242
02:19:17.159 --> 02:19:18.760
when the other guys got him and I don't.

2243
02:19:19.000 --> 02:19:21.600
Yeah, I think you're gonna be all right for what?

2244
02:19:22.479 --> 02:19:22.600
Oh?

2245
02:19:22.719 --> 02:19:25.600
Yeah, yeah? What kind of a job that you want? Oh,

2246
02:19:25.680 --> 02:19:26.000
I don't know.

2247
02:19:26.399 --> 02:19:28.120
I've been a cabby, drove a truck.

2248
02:19:28.200 --> 02:19:30.719
I was a salesman for a wha oh Lionel Strong

2249
02:19:30.840 --> 02:19:35.879
for it, No ladies, lingerie, mail order house. Yeah, well

2250
02:19:35.920 --> 02:19:37.520
you'll make a lot more on this job than you

2251
02:19:37.520 --> 02:19:41.680
would as any salesman. Now listen, say this after me.

2252
02:19:42.200 --> 02:19:46.680
Why this is John three Faces for midnight?

2253
02:19:47.719 --> 02:19:48.159
Come again?

2254
02:19:48.239 --> 02:19:49.719
Come on, come on say it, say it. That's part

2255
02:19:49.719 --> 02:19:50.159
of the job.

2256
02:19:50.680 --> 02:19:52.559
Listen. If this job means I got to play left

2257
02:19:52.600 --> 02:19:53.719
in for the nuthouse, it's out.

2258
02:19:53.799 --> 02:19:56.200
Don't worry, Powell, don't worry. You're gonna like this job.

2259
02:19:56.280 --> 02:19:59.959
I'll come on say it. This is John three face

2260
02:20:00.520 --> 02:20:01.239
for midnight.

2261
02:20:03.920 --> 02:20:04.760
What can I lose?

2262
02:20:05.840 --> 02:20:10.040
This is John three Faces for midnight? Again, this is

2263
02:20:10.200 --> 02:20:12.000
John three Faces for midnight.

2264
02:20:12.559 --> 02:20:16.319
Mm hmmm mm hmm. Yeah, yeah, you're gonna be all right?

2265
02:20:16.639 --> 02:20:17.319
What is that good?

2266
02:20:17.680 --> 02:20:20.719
Listen to this? What's a dictographic plays records?

2267
02:20:21.000 --> 02:20:23.159
Oh? Yeah, well that's more like it. How you gonta

2268
02:20:23.159 --> 02:20:23.680
cross be it?

2269
02:20:23.920 --> 02:20:24.159
Listen?

2270
02:20:25.600 --> 02:20:27.760
Yeah, this is John.

2271
02:20:28.319 --> 02:20:31.600
Which way is the road three faces for midnight?

2272
02:20:32.319 --> 02:20:34.479
Well, we're ready tomorrow.

2273
02:20:34.159 --> 02:20:35.360
Night regular time.

2274
02:20:35.879 --> 02:20:38.639
I'll cough, eh, you get it.

2275
02:20:39.079 --> 02:20:40.879
Well, they sound just like a couple of months to me,

2276
02:20:41.040 --> 02:20:42.159
especially that guy John.

2277
02:20:42.959 --> 02:20:46.280
I guess nobody ever does well recognize their own voice

2278
02:20:46.280 --> 02:20:49.440
when they hear it. That guy John sounds enough like

2279
02:20:49.600 --> 02:20:51.920
you to be your twin brother. I guess a guy

2280
02:20:52.040 --> 02:20:52.920
can't help what he says.

2281
02:20:53.799 --> 02:20:54.760
You mean, I sound like that.

2282
02:20:54.959 --> 02:20:56.120
I mean you're hired.

2283
02:20:56.760 --> 02:20:58.319
What a price to pay for a job?

2284
02:20:58.479 --> 02:21:00.000
Go on through that door to the back.

2285
02:21:00.040 --> 02:21:00.639
And wait for me.

2286
02:21:01.000 --> 02:21:02.319
I got a couple of things to do, and then

2287
02:21:02.360 --> 02:21:02.920
we'll get busy.

2288
02:21:03.079 --> 02:21:06.000
Okay, but just better be on the level, because so

2289
02:21:06.159 --> 02:21:12.360
far it sure stinks. Oh but me, you all alone

2290
02:21:12.399 --> 02:21:15.680
in here? I was, but I didn't mean to interrupt

2291
02:21:15.760 --> 02:21:17.600
or anything. Only he sent me in here.

2292
02:21:17.760 --> 02:21:20.760
Oh it's quite all right than yourself quite at home.

2293
02:21:22.760 --> 02:21:25.040
Only I hope you won't mind if I returned to

2294
02:21:25.120 --> 02:21:26.840
the pursuit of my magazine.

2295
02:21:28.440 --> 02:21:32.000
Oh, oh, you were reading. I like to read myself sometimes.

2296
02:21:32.000 --> 02:21:32.600
I'm sure.

2297
02:21:34.239 --> 02:21:36.920
And you're you're working for this guy.

2298
02:21:37.440 --> 02:21:42.479
I'm afraid that's confidential. Ah, so he gave you that too, Why, yes,

2299
02:21:43.280 --> 02:21:43.559
are you.

2300
02:21:43.680 --> 02:21:44.239
Working for it?

2301
02:21:44.719 --> 02:21:46.600
I don't know if you could call it work, isn't it? Well?

2302
02:21:46.840 --> 02:21:48.200
Didn't he tell you anything?

2303
02:21:48.520 --> 02:21:51.520
Yeah? All about how I sounded like a guy named John,

2304
02:21:51.680 --> 02:21:53.440
and what did I think about guns?

2305
02:21:53.680 --> 02:21:53.879
Gun?

2306
02:21:55.159 --> 02:21:55.319
Oh?

2307
02:21:55.559 --> 02:21:56.559
But what are you supposed to do?

2308
02:21:56.760 --> 02:21:58.319
Well, I don't know exactly.

2309
02:21:59.120 --> 02:22:01.239
That sounds just as crazy is what I'm supposed to do.

2310
02:22:01.479 --> 02:22:04.120
But you see, i'm a photographer, or you take pictures?

2311
02:22:04.239 --> 02:22:05.559
Uh huh, I'm just.

2312
02:22:05.600 --> 02:22:08.600
An amateur really, but I get some very good pictures.

2313
02:22:09.120 --> 02:22:13.000
I showed him. Then a sixteen millimeter what's that movies?

2314
02:22:13.399 --> 02:22:14.319
With's this camera here?

2315
02:22:14.719 --> 02:22:14.959
See?

2316
02:22:15.280 --> 02:22:15.440
Oh?

2317
02:22:15.760 --> 02:22:17.719
Well, if this is some kind of gay for the movies,

2318
02:22:17.799 --> 02:22:20.680
and it makes sense, they say in that racket, everybody's crazy.

2319
02:22:20.920 --> 02:22:24.040
Well, I don't know. I figured he wanted me to

2320
02:22:24.120 --> 02:22:26.680
take some pictures of some kind of an afthaya, some

2321
02:22:27.079 --> 02:22:28.120
wedding or something.

2322
02:22:28.319 --> 02:22:30.280
But what am I supposed to do? Give the bride away?

2323
02:22:30.440 --> 02:22:31.000
How I wanted to?

2324
02:22:31.639 --> 02:22:31.799
Oh?

2325
02:22:32.399 --> 02:22:34.559
You two get a claimed? Well, we were making this

2326
02:22:35.120 --> 02:22:37.719
good o. Can I look? I got all your instructions

2327
02:22:37.760 --> 02:22:41.799
written down here. Everything you're supposed to do. You take

2328
02:22:41.840 --> 02:22:45.799
a train to Woodbridge and walk, not take a cab.

2329
02:22:46.840 --> 02:22:49.840
Walk to a certain house. There's a map here. You

2330
02:22:49.920 --> 02:22:50.399
can't miss it.

2331
02:22:50.719 --> 02:22:51.799
Well aren't you coming?

2332
02:22:52.040 --> 02:22:52.200
Yeah?

2333
02:22:52.280 --> 02:22:53.840
Yeah, sure, sure I'll be there, But I got to

2334
02:22:53.879 --> 02:22:57.079
go separately. There's a reason for that. So go on

2335
02:22:57.200 --> 02:22:58.879
beat it now. Your train leaves in a half an hour.

2336
02:22:58.959 --> 02:23:00.639
You can read over your instruction is on the way.

2337
02:23:01.079 --> 02:23:03.479
Okay, I'm playing along as though this was on the level,

2338
02:23:03.559 --> 02:23:04.239
but it better be.

2339
02:23:04.479 --> 02:23:08.639
It's on the level, all right, But listen, don't you

2340
02:23:08.879 --> 02:23:11.879
do anything that's not in those instructions.

2341
02:23:12.360 --> 02:23:13.639
See why should we?

2342
02:23:14.120 --> 02:23:17.799
I'm just telling you because I wouldn't want to see

2343
02:23:17.840 --> 02:23:20.760
anything happen to you, either of you.

2344
02:23:27.799 --> 02:23:29.680
Well, that should have been the tip off right there,

2345
02:23:30.760 --> 02:23:32.360
especially for a smart guy like me.

2346
02:23:33.319 --> 02:23:36.239
But if you must know, by this time, I'm thinking

2347
02:23:36.280 --> 02:23:40.079
about this name who's a slick chick but real refined too,

2348
02:23:40.520 --> 02:23:41.200
you know what I mean.

2349
02:23:41.840 --> 02:23:44.079
And I'm thinking that this is probably the big break

2350
02:23:44.159 --> 02:23:46.280
for her if it is on the level, so I

2351
02:23:46.399 --> 02:23:48.600
ought to help her through with it, so I do.

2352
02:23:49.719 --> 02:23:51.639
By the time we get out of this woodbridge, we're

2353
02:23:51.639 --> 02:23:54.000
getting along pretty good, except for one thing.

2354
02:23:54.840 --> 02:23:56.799
We start off from the railroad station, like it says

2355
02:23:56.840 --> 02:23:58.920
on the map the guy gave us looking for this

2356
02:23:59.040 --> 02:24:02.399
certain house, Only it gets wilder and wilder. Where we're

2357
02:24:02.440 --> 02:24:05.520
going right into the woods must be a couple of miles,

2358
02:24:06.280 --> 02:24:09.159
and then all of a sudden there's a house. Well

2359
02:24:09.239 --> 02:24:11.239
it should have been a tip off too. You don't

2360
02:24:11.280 --> 02:24:13.200
suppose that's according to this map.

2361
02:24:13.239 --> 02:24:13.799
It's gonna be.

2362
02:24:15.559 --> 02:24:16.520
Yes, Sylvaska.

2363
02:24:16.879 --> 02:24:18.520
If you call me that once.

2364
02:24:18.399 --> 02:24:20.440
More, I will What did you say?

2365
02:24:21.719 --> 02:24:24.120
I said, I will bend every effort for you, But

2366
02:24:24.360 --> 02:24:25.600
please don't call me that.

2367
02:24:26.040 --> 02:24:29.200
Oh well, I just can't call you myself. It's not refined.

2368
02:24:29.959 --> 02:24:33.000
Well then this must be the place, but it certainly

2369
02:24:33.079 --> 02:24:34.840
is a funny place to have any kind of an

2370
02:24:34.920 --> 02:24:36.479
Essa lived.

2371
02:24:36.239 --> 02:24:39.440
In for twenty years. Listen, Yeah, it's going to be

2372
02:24:39.479 --> 02:24:39.920
a storm.

2373
02:24:40.239 --> 02:24:42.639
Well, we better just go on inside, you know, like

2374
02:24:42.719 --> 02:24:43.360
it says to do.

2375
02:24:46.399 --> 02:24:48.200
That door. It don't sound like it's ever been open.

2376
02:24:48.440 --> 02:24:50.920
Oh she hits spooky in here.

2377
02:24:51.079 --> 02:24:52.200
Yeah, I can't find a light.

2378
02:24:52.600 --> 02:24:57.159
Maybe that nice mister, Oh Sylvester. I don't even know

2379
02:24:57.280 --> 02:24:58.920
his name, do you no?

2380
02:24:59.079 --> 02:25:02.440
And I wish I didn't know him close the well,

2381
02:25:03.719 --> 02:25:05.200
it's all right, it's me.

2382
02:25:08.120 --> 02:25:09.959
That's the idea. Now we're gonna have some life.

2383
02:25:11.479 --> 02:25:11.719
Ah.

2384
02:25:13.159 --> 02:25:18.000
Yeah, it's my money in front, isn't it really referred?

2385
02:25:18.159 --> 02:25:18.360
Yeah?

2386
02:25:18.680 --> 02:25:20.479
Yeah, it used to be an old hotout. I'll come

2387
02:25:20.520 --> 02:25:21.840
out of my room here and I'll.

2388
02:25:21.680 --> 02:25:23.879
Give you the pitch. Don't think we're in any hurry

2389
02:25:23.959 --> 02:25:25.639
to know because we are see.

2390
02:25:26.600 --> 02:25:30.239
All right now listen, in amount of an hour, there's

2391
02:25:30.280 --> 02:25:32.920
gonna be a guy come out here to take a bribe.

2392
02:25:33.600 --> 02:25:36.319
He's quite a big guy in this town, and he's

2393
02:25:36.479 --> 02:25:38.600
taken a big bribe.

2394
02:25:39.040 --> 02:25:42.239
Two hundred thousand dollars, two hundred grand.

2395
02:25:42.559 --> 02:25:45.440
Yeah, he's gonna take the money from another guy that

2396
02:25:45.479 --> 02:25:50.120
he's never seen before, a guy named John. You're gonna

2397
02:25:50.120 --> 02:25:55.760
be John. Oh oh, so I'm going to Beacher. That's right,

2398
02:25:56.719 --> 02:25:58.719
the guy you had on the record in my office.

2399
02:25:58.879 --> 02:26:01.840
The guy you sound like, the other guy you heard,

2400
02:26:02.639 --> 02:26:04.319
is the guy that's taken the money.

2401
02:26:04.879 --> 02:26:08.719
Yeah, well you can count me off the whole thing.

2402
02:26:08.879 --> 02:26:11.760
Still that smells. And if I had a known that

2403
02:26:11.840 --> 02:26:12.879
you were getting a young girl.

2404
02:26:14.239 --> 02:26:15.760
There are only two people in the world that know

2405
02:26:15.799 --> 02:26:19.680
about this. Me and who are you just call me? Tim?

2406
02:26:20.879 --> 02:26:22.399
Me and Grover T. Wyatt.

2407
02:26:23.319 --> 02:26:28.040
You know he is, No, you don't mean Governor Wyatt. Yes,

2408
02:26:28.559 --> 02:26:31.680
why he's nice. I've heard it for him. Well, he's

2409
02:26:31.719 --> 02:26:34.520
one of the best looking men his age.

2410
02:26:34.639 --> 02:26:36.719
I mean, why, it's a swell guy, clean as a

2411
02:26:36.719 --> 02:26:40.920
whistle for twenty years. But he made one little mistake

2412
02:26:41.040 --> 02:26:45.440
back there, and a certain guy has caught onto it. Well,

2413
02:26:45.760 --> 02:26:48.280
I can say is that if this thing doesn't come off,

2414
02:26:48.280 --> 02:26:50.440
if he doesn't hear from me by three o'clock this afternoon,

2415
02:26:51.319 --> 02:26:53.239
of governor wife's a dead pigeon.

2416
02:26:54.319 --> 02:26:56.680
I don't care if he's a dead horse. Two hundred

2417
02:26:56.719 --> 02:26:59.280
grand is plenty of letters, and that means plenty of trouble.

2418
02:27:00.280 --> 02:27:02.600
And what about this John that I'm supposed to be He.

2419
02:27:02.680 --> 02:27:03.239
Knows it too.

2420
02:27:03.719 --> 02:27:05.559
He's been our contact man on the phone with a

2421
02:27:05.559 --> 02:27:06.959
scripture and I, oh, I don't like it.

2422
02:27:07.040 --> 02:27:08.719
And Helen here, why are squawking about?

2423
02:27:09.200 --> 02:27:11.000
There's nothing going to happen to you. And there's a

2424
02:27:11.079 --> 02:27:12.840
bonus a five a piece of up above you. So

2425
02:27:13.120 --> 02:27:15.799
we stick our necks out for a lowsy five bucks.

2426
02:27:15.879 --> 02:27:18.559
Five hundred bucks, that's what I said, A lousy five

2427
02:27:18.639 --> 02:27:20.399
hund Yeah.

2428
02:27:21.280 --> 02:27:23.479
Five hundred, that's what I said.

2429
02:27:24.280 --> 02:27:26.479
Where where.

2430
02:27:28.200 --> 02:27:31.120
Where is this pump that's been given trouble to the governor.

2431
02:27:31.159 --> 02:27:32.879
I will bend him around like a prett.

2432
02:27:32.959 --> 02:27:35.120
We don't need any of that. We're just going to

2433
02:27:35.159 --> 02:27:37.680
get him good this time and that's the end of him.

2434
02:27:38.159 --> 02:27:39.920
And you want me to take pictures of the.

2435
02:27:41.600 --> 02:27:42.799
Yes, now you're getting smart?

2436
02:27:43.040 --> 02:27:43.239
Yeah?

2437
02:27:43.280 --> 02:27:45.440
From that landing up there that's why we've got so

2438
02:27:45.559 --> 02:27:47.559
much light in here. Will it be okay?

2439
02:27:47.719 --> 02:27:50.000
Oh, it will be quitter about I'm sure yeah.

2440
02:27:50.479 --> 02:27:55.399
But there's just one thing. What so this guy shows

2441
02:27:55.479 --> 02:27:58.280
up and he thinks I'm John because he's never seen jarn.

2442
02:27:58.799 --> 02:28:00.520
But what if John shows up?

2443
02:28:02.479 --> 02:28:05.479
Well, now, this John was sort of a double cross.

2444
02:28:06.719 --> 02:28:10.479
He won't show up. How do you know he had

2445
02:28:10.520 --> 02:28:12.239
a little accident this morning.

2446
02:28:13.360 --> 02:28:14.280
He's dead.

2447
02:28:22.959 --> 02:28:23.719

02:30:29.399 --> 02:30:32.120
house that looks like something Boris call Off moved out

2474
02:30:32.159 --> 02:30:33.440
of because it made him nervous.

2475
02:30:34.239 --> 02:30:36.440
Me and this guy called Tim that's working for this

2476
02:30:36.559 --> 02:30:37.440
governor called.

2477
02:30:37.280 --> 02:30:40.520

02:30:40.559 --> 02:30:43.559

2479
02:30:43.600 --> 02:30:45.079
gonna come and take a bribe.

2480
02:30:44.760 --> 02:30:47.079
Of two hundred grand from another guy called John.

2481
02:30:47.440 --> 02:30:49.280
Only I'm gonna be John on a kind of rice,

2482
02:30:49.399 --> 02:30:51.639
sound just like him, and this other guy has never

2483
02:30:51.719 --> 02:30:53.879
seen him. And anyway, this John has just got himself

2484
02:30:53.959 --> 02:30:59.319
knocked off. You don't get it, neither do I. But

2485
02:30:59.520 --> 02:31:01.440
for five hundred bucks or might, I have to know

2486
02:31:01.559 --> 02:31:02.479
everybody's business.

2487
02:31:03.440 --> 02:31:05.840
And Helen, she's sitting there as cool as though.

2493
02:31:17.600 --> 02:31:18.399

2494
02:31:18.239 --> 02:31:21.440
All the time. Then we hear the knock on the door.

02:33:29.719 --> 02:33:31.879
We have to walk two miles to the station through

2525
02:33:31.920 --> 02:33:34.879
the pouring rain, but even all that cold water don't

2526
02:33:34.879 --> 02:33:37.680
seem to make my brains work any better. We don't

2527
02:33:37.719 --> 02:33:39.479
get back to town until about four point thirty and

2528
02:33:39.559 --> 02:33:43.479
I still don't have it figured out. And Helen, well,

2529
02:33:43.600 --> 02:33:46.079
I guess you can't blame her. She just don't seem

2530
02:33:46.120 --> 02:33:49.120
to have much experience in these things. So we're standing

2531
02:33:49.159 --> 02:33:50.479
there under an awning arguments.

2532
02:33:51.920 --> 02:33:53.360
Why don't we get go to the point?

2533
02:33:54.879 --> 02:33:57.879
Sugar? There's three guys been knocked off today. We were

2534
02:33:57.920 --> 02:33:59.879
there when it happened to two of them. But how

2535
02:34:00.120 --> 02:34:02.040
we know that that guy, Kim Torlas was on the level.

2536
02:34:02.200 --> 02:34:03.600
Well maybe the police would tell it.

2537
02:34:03.719 --> 02:34:05.680
Yeah, with a rubber hose. And here's another thing.

2538
02:34:06.200 --> 02:34:08.680
We're carrying around a briefcase full of two hundred grand

2539
02:34:08.719 --> 02:34:09.760
of somebody else's dough.

2540
02:34:10.120 --> 02:34:11.639
And that ain't hey, and it ain't good.

2541
02:34:11.840 --> 02:34:14.120
Well, my goodness, what's so bad about it? All we

2542
02:34:14.239 --> 02:34:15.600
have to do is keep it until.

2543
02:34:15.799 --> 02:34:20.639
I'm not really a tough guy. See, all I know

2544
02:34:20.799 --> 02:34:21.920
is what I see in the movies.

2545
02:34:21.959 --> 02:34:24.120
But I know that when you're walking around with that

2546
02:34:24.239 --> 02:34:26.520
much hot money, you're you have to wake up someday

2547
02:34:26.559 --> 02:34:28.200
and find you've been living on borrowed time.

2548
02:34:28.840 --> 02:34:30.280
Didn't you see what happened when I die in that

2549
02:34:30.399 --> 02:34:31.520
movie The Killers?

2550
02:34:31.639 --> 02:34:34.360
Oh yeah, it wasn't that good. That poor Bert Lang

2551
02:34:34.760 --> 02:34:35.959
I thought, I'm sorry for it.

2552
02:34:36.319 --> 02:34:38.719
Well, I don't want to wind up, no, no Burt Lancaster,

2553
02:34:39.079 --> 02:34:41.360
even to make you feel sorry for me. So the

2554
02:34:41.399 --> 02:34:44.559
first thing we gotta do is ditch this dough ditch really,

2555
02:34:44.760 --> 02:34:47.239
I mean, before they find those two stiffs out there

2556
02:34:47.239 --> 02:34:49.079
and then start trying to find a funny looking guy

2557
02:34:49.120 --> 02:34:50.879
and a cute looking day with a sack full of dough.

2558
02:34:51.280 --> 02:34:53.319
We gotta find the parties that belong to it before

2559
02:34:53.399 --> 02:34:54.079
they find us.

2560
02:34:54.559 --> 02:34:56.479
Now you catch on, but we can't of the dock

2561
02:34:56.559 --> 02:34:58.600
to the man that belonged to Yeah, and he.

2562
02:34:58.639 --> 02:35:00.719
Said there was nobody in on it but him and

2563
02:35:00.959 --> 02:35:01.520
the governor.

2564
02:35:01.920 --> 02:35:04.159
The governor. What we'll do?

2565
02:35:04.360 --> 02:35:04.600
Still?

2566
02:35:04.639 --> 02:35:05.879
He just call the governor?

2567
02:35:06.239 --> 02:35:08.040
Yeah, how do you do that? Just look him up

2568
02:35:08.040 --> 02:35:11.239
in the classified head I don't know the information.

2569
02:35:11.479 --> 02:35:13.799
Somebody must know his number, after all, you know, he's

2570
02:35:13.840 --> 02:35:16.680
a very important man. Well, it might be wont to

2571
02:35:16.799 --> 02:35:22.040
try at that, probably at but calling.

2572
02:35:21.840 --> 02:35:24.920
The governor just like that, I don't know three extray

2573
02:35:25.040 --> 02:35:27.680
governor commit? So is shine paper Pod sated.

2574
02:35:27.760 --> 02:35:29.479
I got enough to worry me without the governor.

2575
02:35:30.159 --> 02:35:41.559
The governor, the governor he's dead. Well, of course, now.

2576
02:35:41.520 --> 02:35:43.760
I remember what I said about the governor being a

2577
02:35:43.840 --> 02:35:45.079
dead pigeon if he didn't.

2578
02:35:44.840 --> 02:35:45.959
Get worried by three o'clock.

2579
02:35:46.799 --> 02:35:48.719
But it's too late now for that to do anybody

2580
02:35:48.840 --> 02:35:51.680
much good, us or him either. There was just one

2581
02:35:51.760 --> 02:35:55.479
more chance, Unemployment Agency. The rain had almost stopped now,

2582
02:35:55.520 --> 02:35:57.520
and we went over to Central Avenue to look for it.

2583
02:35:57.840 --> 02:35:59.760
Of course, this is the place I recognize.

2584
02:35:59.760 --> 02:36:02.040
It wears the sign with the jobs on it.

2585
02:36:02.159 --> 02:36:05.200
I don't know. Maybe they govern ring to keep the

2586
02:36:05.280 --> 02:36:06.040
lady from running.

2587
02:36:06.440 --> 02:36:10.520
Maybe the joy looks close to me it is. Hey,

2588
02:36:10.600 --> 02:36:19.760
anybody in there? Hey, open up, Come on? What do

2589
02:36:19.840 --> 02:36:22.159
you want? We want to see the force.

2590
02:36:22.719 --> 02:36:23.680
I'm in charge here.

2591
02:36:24.559 --> 02:36:25.159
What do you want?

2592
02:36:26.040 --> 02:36:27.559
Well, we were sort.

2593
02:36:27.440 --> 02:36:28.799
Of looking for a couple of jobs.

2594
02:36:28.879 --> 02:36:30.040
I don't have no jobs.

2595
02:36:30.120 --> 02:36:31.520
I'm just trying to rent this place.

2596
02:36:32.159 --> 02:36:32.840
It's vacant.

2597
02:36:33.120 --> 02:36:35.319
Vacant. Isn't this an employment agency?

2598
02:36:35.440 --> 02:36:35.479
Not?

2599
02:36:35.639 --> 02:36:37.440
Since this morning? You want to rent it?

2600
02:36:38.200 --> 02:36:40.920
Look, this is kind of important to us. The guy

2601
02:36:41.040 --> 02:36:42.799
had had it before. He was a sort of a

2602
02:36:42.879 --> 02:36:46.440
tough looking, little gray haired guy. Yeah, that's a guy.

2603
02:36:46.559 --> 02:36:51.559
Got the name of Whiting, George Whiting. Well, lady, if

2604
02:36:51.600 --> 02:36:52.440
you know so much, what.

2605
02:36:52.479 --> 02:36:53.319
Are you asking me for?

2606
02:36:53.959 --> 02:36:56.559
Sorry? Right, he probably had two names. You wouldn't know

2607
02:36:56.600 --> 02:36:57.559
his home address, would you.

2608
02:36:57.840 --> 02:36:59.239
I don't know a thing about the man.

2609
02:36:59.319 --> 02:36:59.600
Fella.

2610
02:37:00.040 --> 02:37:01.120
You gotta see him so bad.

2611
02:37:01.200 --> 02:37:03.000
The only thing I could advise you to do is.

2612
02:37:04.479 --> 02:37:06.479
Stick around on the off chance he might come back.

2613
02:37:06.680 --> 02:37:07.879
But he cared, he did.

2614
02:37:08.239 --> 02:37:09.239
He's willing to skip it.

2615
02:37:09.360 --> 02:37:11.000
Well, we got the wrong guy.

2616
02:37:16.600 --> 02:37:18.959
That last crack didn't help none, because I knew that

2617
02:37:19.040 --> 02:37:21.840
guy would remember us. Sure, and now I saw the

2618
02:37:21.879 --> 02:37:25.200
whole thing. Unemployment recket was just a phony set up

2619
02:37:25.280 --> 02:37:28.719
to catch a couple of Potsi's first I headed us

2620
02:37:28.760 --> 02:37:29.840
back to the Chuchu station.

2621
02:37:30.319 --> 02:37:31.799
On the way, I slipped a g not note out

2622
02:37:31.840 --> 02:37:34.280
of the briefcase. It was time to do something fast.

2623
02:37:34.680 --> 02:37:37.520
Lead Tom, Oh, but I want to lead it night.

2624
02:37:37.760 --> 02:37:40.559
Yeah, they got nice comfortable slabs in the more cold.

2625
02:37:40.639 --> 02:37:42.280
Tomorrow we're gonna check this briefcase.

2626
02:37:42.440 --> 02:37:43.479
Well what are we going to check it?

2627
02:37:43.520 --> 02:37:43.799
Wherever?

2628
02:37:43.799 --> 02:37:47.040
We're gonna leave tom If it's too heavy, mister Waden

2629
02:37:47.200 --> 02:37:47.959
will carry it.

2630
02:37:48.719 --> 02:37:53.200
Sugar for the last time. I hope three guys are dead.

2631
02:37:53.479 --> 02:37:56.479
The governor of the state, almost as important as Brooklyn,

2632
02:37:56.559 --> 02:37:58.000
has just knocked himself off.

2633
02:37:58.520 --> 02:38:00.319
All on Acconnor. What's in this bag?

2634
02:38:00.920 --> 02:38:03.719
We are ditching this peg, sugar, and we are laying

2635
02:38:04.559 --> 02:38:05.920
I'll explain what that means later.

2636
02:38:06.719 --> 02:38:09.239
Uh check this with you, budd When do you want it?

2637
02:38:09.399 --> 02:38:12.120
Sometime next week? I'm going out of town. Okay, two

2638
02:38:12.159 --> 02:38:14.000
bits now and two bits more for every day you

2639
02:38:14.120 --> 02:38:18.200
leave it. You pay the rest later. Twenty five.

2640
02:38:19.520 --> 02:38:19.799
Twenty.

2641
02:38:21.120 --> 02:38:23.159
Hey, what is this a gag?

2642
02:38:23.600 --> 02:38:27.520
What's the matter now? A thousand bucks? Oh oh, I

2643
02:38:27.879 --> 02:38:31.040
must have made a mistake, you sure, Mustard? Yeah yeah,

2644
02:38:31.079 --> 02:38:33.120
but I don't seem to have nothing smaller.

2645
02:38:33.520 --> 02:38:34.719
I sure ain't gonna change this.

2646
02:38:34.879 --> 02:38:38.159
Okay, okay, give me the bag. Come on? Hell hey, wait, hey, Jerry,

2647
02:38:38.280 --> 02:38:38.879
knock that guy?

2648
02:38:39.040 --> 02:38:40.200
What hey? Hey?

2649
02:38:40.280 --> 02:38:40.639
You wait?

2650
02:38:40.920 --> 02:38:41.040
Man?

2651
02:38:41.280 --> 02:38:43.120
I look, officer, I just come on, come on.

2652
02:38:43.280 --> 02:38:44.319
The man wants to see it.

2653
02:38:44.600 --> 02:38:45.200
What's the matter?

2654
02:38:45.360 --> 02:38:47.760
Saying I must be nuts? He just walked off and

2655
02:38:47.840 --> 02:38:51.040
left a thousand dollars bill? Oh did I face a gina?

2656
02:38:51.319 --> 02:38:53.200
Let me see what's mine? Ask him?

2657
02:38:53.360 --> 02:38:54.399
Where did you get this? Bud?

2658
02:38:54.959 --> 02:38:57.840
My officer? But I just made a little chilling at

2659
02:38:57.879 --> 02:38:58.159
the track.

2660
02:38:58.239 --> 02:38:58.799
Which track?

2661
02:38:59.799 --> 02:39:03.120
The look? I just wanted to check my bag off?

2662
02:39:03.319 --> 02:39:05.680
In that bag? Nothing? Nothing off? Is it just some

2663
02:39:05.879 --> 02:39:07.079
purely personal stuff?

2664
02:39:07.479 --> 02:39:08.000
Let me see?

2665
02:39:08.280 --> 02:39:08.440
Say?

2666
02:39:08.520 --> 02:39:10.280
What is your Give me that bag?

2667
02:39:12.600 --> 02:39:14.280
Well, what's in it?

2668
02:39:14.399 --> 02:39:14.639
Jerry?

2669
02:39:14.760 --> 02:39:14.879
Hi?

2670
02:39:15.000 --> 02:39:16.600
There's nothing in this bag at all?

2671
02:39:17.200 --> 02:39:17.959
Nothing at all?

2672
02:39:18.680 --> 02:39:20.120
Just a little movie camera.

2673
02:39:20.520 --> 02:39:20.639
See.

2674
02:39:20.760 --> 02:39:22.520
I told you about a million bucks.

2675
02:39:22.760 --> 02:39:34.840
Come on, come on, so Vester, come clean.

2676
02:39:35.040 --> 02:39:38.680
I told you, and please please don't call me that.

2677
02:39:39.040 --> 02:39:41.680
We ain't started to call you nothing yet. So Vester,

2678
02:39:42.159 --> 02:39:43.559
why do you kill him? They kill him for the door.

2679
02:39:43.559 --> 02:39:44.639
Didn't you wait to hear about it?

2680
02:39:45.000 --> 02:39:45.639
Do you know I had to do?

2681
02:39:45.799 --> 02:39:45.840
This?

2682
02:39:45.920 --> 02:39:46.319
Is your gun?

2683
02:39:46.399 --> 02:39:46.719
Is? No?

2684
02:39:47.040 --> 02:39:47.440
No, no.

2685
02:39:48.280 --> 02:39:49.799
I told you they knocked off each other.

2686
02:39:49.879 --> 02:39:52.319
I was, you're sure with the same gun. One guy

2687
02:39:52.360 --> 02:39:54.120
shoots the other. One of them hands him the gun,

2688
02:39:54.200 --> 02:39:57.840
and only the gun's got your prints all over it.

2689
02:39:58.079 --> 02:40:00.399
I took it away from the guy in the house,

2690
02:40:00.440 --> 02:40:00.719
weren't you.

2691
02:40:00.920 --> 02:40:02.000
They came to make her deal and you're not.

2692
02:40:02.079 --> 02:40:04.040
Come on, listen. The governor himself knew here.

2693
02:40:04.280 --> 02:40:06.120
We'll get the governor to come right down and make

2694
02:40:06.159 --> 02:40:10.079
a statement. You trying to be funny, Sylvestor. You were

2695
02:40:10.159 --> 02:40:11.879
rubbing the house. You swiped the camera and you put

2696
02:40:11.879 --> 02:40:13.079
it in the bag, and then they came in. You

2697
02:40:13.159 --> 02:40:14.440
saw it, don't You're not going off?

2698
02:40:14.680 --> 02:40:17.440
Listen so best. You don't want to get that sweet

2699
02:40:17.479 --> 02:40:19.360
little girlfriend of yours in the gym.

2700
02:40:19.319 --> 02:40:22.000
Do you, helen? What have you done to her?

2701
02:40:22.200 --> 02:40:26.639
Nothing yet? Come on, come clean and we'll let her go.

2702
02:40:27.239 --> 02:40:31.440
But I tell you, I come on, Sylvester, we'll send

2703
02:40:31.479 --> 02:40:32.479
her to the hot seat with you.

2704
02:40:32.639 --> 02:40:33.799
You wouldn't, You couldn't.

2705
02:40:33.879 --> 02:40:36.559
No, that's what you think. You kill them, didn't you?

2706
02:40:36.680 --> 02:40:37.200
You kill them?

2707
02:40:40.239 --> 02:40:45.079
Okay, Okay, I killed him? Now your happy hats a boy?

2708
02:40:45.319 --> 02:40:47.280
That's a boy, Sylvester.

2709
02:40:47.799 --> 02:40:50.159
Hey get this, Harry, Now, would you stop calling me that?

2710
02:40:50.440 --> 02:40:53.719
Okay, Sylvester, you kill him? What was a girl doing that?

2711
02:40:53.879 --> 02:40:55.440
She had nothing to do with it. She was just

2712
02:40:55.520 --> 02:40:56.319
taking the pictures.

2713
02:40:57.319 --> 02:40:59.879
What pictures? The picture?

2714
02:41:01.200 --> 02:41:01.840
The pictures.

2715
02:41:02.639 --> 02:41:05.600
There's your answer, your big don't go look at the pictures.

2716
02:41:15.959 --> 02:41:18.639
Oh he's right, Mac, Those pictures show the whole thing.

2717
02:41:19.000 --> 02:41:21.120
Pete shot Tim O'Mara and then this guy got the

2718
02:41:21.159 --> 02:41:22.719
gun away from him and O'Meara.

2719
02:41:22.479 --> 02:41:23.799
Shot Pete just like he said.

2720
02:41:24.079 --> 02:41:25.479
Yeah, now you catch on.

2721
02:41:25.840 --> 02:41:29.639
Sure, no argument, Mac, It's all right there in the film. Wow,

2722
02:41:30.319 --> 02:41:33.239
you're a lucky boy, Sylvestern.

2723
02:41:34.120 --> 02:41:36.360
Yeah, sure, I get all the breaks.

2724
02:41:36.440 --> 02:41:38.200
Now go on, beat it, beat it before we think

2725
02:41:38.239 --> 02:41:40.920
of something else. Okay, you've had your fun, didn't you

2726
02:41:41.159 --> 02:41:41.360
like it?

2727
02:41:42.200 --> 02:41:43.959
Sylvester? But if you'll take.

2728
02:41:43.840 --> 02:41:45.959
Off that gun and that badge for a minute, I

2729
02:41:46.040 --> 02:41:47.920
will bend you around like a pressel.

2730
02:41:48.520 --> 02:41:53.840
You mean right here, Sylvest, Yeah, right here.

2731
02:42:09.360 --> 02:42:13.079
After I served my ninety days, I went and got

2732
02:42:13.120 --> 02:42:15.000
my name changed by a judge.

2733
02:42:14.760 --> 02:42:20.840
From Sylvester to muscles. It's legal now, mister Muscles Waters.

2734
02:42:21.680 --> 02:42:23.799
It may sound funny to you, but I like it.

2735
02:42:24.559 --> 02:42:29.319
Oh yeah, Helen got her name changed too. She's missus

2736
02:42:29.520 --> 02:42:31.040
Muscles Waters.

2740
02:43:02.239 --> 02:43:06.280
suspense play, William Bendix. Bill. Are those bulges in your

2741
02:43:06.360 --> 02:43:09.239
coat really muscles? Or did your tailor install them?

2742
02:43:09.399 --> 02:43:09.520
Well?

2743
02:43:09.600 --> 02:43:11.959
They ate more sports, chum. You want to see me

2744
02:43:12.040 --> 02:43:12.440
tear up.

2745
02:43:12.360 --> 02:43:13.159
A phone book tie?

2746
02:43:13.239 --> 02:43:13.680
You're safe.

2747
02:43:13.719 --> 02:43:15.159
I don't happen to have one on me.

2748
02:43:16.639 --> 02:43:17.399
Well, I will.

2749
02:43:17.319 --> 02:43:19.040
Demonstrate with my script.

2750
02:43:20.520 --> 02:43:25.520
Only faces. Well, give me yours book. Well, I forl

2751
02:43:25.600 --> 02:43:32.079
them worse than twice, and then I stack up the

2752
02:43:32.159 --> 02:43:32.840
pieces and.

2753
02:43:36.559 --> 02:43:37.879
Oh that's fine.

2754
02:43:38.040 --> 02:43:39.319
There went both scripts.

2755
02:43:39.479 --> 02:43:40.600
Now what do we read from?

2756
02:43:41.079 --> 02:43:44.639
But she never thought? But you don't need a script

2757
02:43:44.719 --> 02:43:47.079
to tell folks how good Roma Wines are, do you?

2758
02:43:47.280 --> 02:43:47.399
Ah?

2759
02:43:47.440 --> 02:43:48.120
You're right, Bill?

2760
02:43:48.159 --> 02:43:50.520
And to start with, here's the gift basket of Roma

2761
02:43:50.600 --> 02:43:54.959
California Wines with compliments from Roma the greatest name and

2762
02:43:55.079 --> 02:43:56.280
why where.

2763
02:43:57.000 --> 02:43:59.879
That's what I call a magnanimous gesture, and now let

2764
02:44:00.000 --> 02:44:02.840
can hear you tell about this Roma sherry without a script?

2765
02:44:03.079 --> 02:44:06.200
Certainly, Bell Roma sherry is the perfect.

2766
02:44:05.920 --> 02:44:10.159
First call for dinner, the ideal wine for entertaining any time.

2767
02:44:10.760 --> 02:44:14.559
Roma sherry is the favorite of villains because golden amber,

2768
02:44:14.719 --> 02:44:18.920
fragrant Roma sharry is so good, so many tasty ways.

2769
02:44:19.600 --> 02:44:23.000
You'll enjoy Roma sherry before dinner, Bill, and when guests

2770
02:44:23.159 --> 02:44:27.040
drop in, delight them with a warmth and graciousness, the tempting,

2771
02:44:27.239 --> 02:44:31.959
nut like taste of Roma sherry. This guy knows his word, yes,

2772
02:44:32.120 --> 02:44:35.399
because I know that in all Roma wines you enjoy

2773
02:44:35.479 --> 02:44:40.600
an important difference, an extra goodness, in fuller bouquet, richer body,

2774
02:44:40.840 --> 02:44:45.360
and better taste. That's why more Americans enjoy Roma than

2775
02:44:45.520 --> 02:44:46.600
any other wine.

2776
02:44:47.040 --> 02:44:49.000
He's done it, Thanks Kenon goodnight.

2777
02:44:49.600 --> 02:44:52.520

Robert Wretchis.

2783
02:45:06.079 --> 02:45:09.840
All right, a little record to lighten the mood? Or

2784
02:45:09.879 --> 02:45:10.200
what's that?

2785
02:45:10.879 --> 02:45:11.120
Well?

2786
02:45:11.479 --> 02:45:15.280
I may not have plans, I'm aware of for the

2787
02:45:15.399 --> 02:45:18.159
night itself, but I can tell you I'll be right

2788
02:45:18.280 --> 02:45:22.479
here waiting the next time you decide to visit it.

2789
02:45:23.079 --> 02:45:27.639
And how I have enjoyed these holidays, these excuses to

2790
02:45:27.760 --> 02:45:31.479
spend more time together, to spend more time celebrating over,

2791
02:45:32.319 --> 02:45:36.799
to spend more time with your fears as well as

2792
02:45:36.879 --> 02:45:39.959
my eye. Believe it or not, I have some of

2793
02:45:40.040 --> 02:45:43.600
my very own. But now, my dear, as we wrap

2794
02:45:43.760 --> 02:45:50.120
up this calendar year of fun and games, I just

2795
02:45:50.200 --> 02:45:53.479
want to remind you that as you make your way home,

2796
02:45:54.079 --> 02:45:57.120
avoid the drunk drivers, avoid the people who've over imbibed

2797
02:45:57.200 --> 02:46:03.200
their champagne and merriment. And as you lay your head

2798
02:46:03.280 --> 02:46:08.079
on that little down pillar in that warm bedroom, in

2799
02:46:08.159 --> 02:46:12.000
that beautiful home, in that quaint little town you call

2800
02:46:12.120 --> 02:46:18.280
a home, please as your breathing becomes rhythm, be thankful

2801
02:46:18.959 --> 02:46:19.600
for what you have
