Enter the cryptic world of Unknown Broadcast, where old-time radio horror stories linger like shadows that never quite leave. In this chilling collection, six macabre tales unspool from the archives of classic OTR suspense, filled with corpses that walk too well-dressed, wishes that rot the hand that makes them, and voices from jazz clubs and airplane cabins that should never be heard again. These are vintage radio horror stories resurrected in the dead of night.

- 💀 The Death Wish — Be careful what you want most, my dear; the grave often grants it first.
- 🕴️ The Well-Dressed Corpse — In the city’s shadows, one man’s sharp suit conceals the stench of the tomb.
- 🎷 Murder in Jazz Time — A smoky nightclub beat turns to a death rattle when the music won’t stop.
- 🌑 The Thing from the Darkness — Something unseen stalks the edges of every candle flame.
- 🗡️ Murder in Haste — Quick to the knife, quicker to regret; the Whistler sees all.
- ✈️ Terror in the Air — High above the clouds, panic is contagious—and no one can land safely.

In the hush between the static and the silence, the Unknown Broadcast waits. Listen closely: these are the classic radio horror stories that still breathe.

The episode is structured for listeners who want a complete vintage-radio anthology: separate story identities remain clear as murder, disappearance, and investigation, old-time radio suspense, and folklore, ritual, and cursed traditions recur across the night’s broadcast.

1
00:00:09.039 --> 00:00:13.359
Ah, good to have you back, my dear. Well, I

2
00:00:13.400 --> 00:00:18.879
suppose the witching season is going quite well. Have you

3
00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:26.800
been listening to the breeze, I mean interpreting it, understanding

4
00:00:26.920 --> 00:00:34.759
its words? Well, I hope so I've been very well,

5
00:00:34.840 --> 00:00:40.320
although much better having you here with me. Please relax.

6
00:00:40.479 --> 00:00:43.159
I know the fall months get so chilly at night,

7
00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:48.719
and the fire is of course burning bright, the tea

8
00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:54.200
is steeping, almost ready for your sipping. And of course

9
00:00:54.280 --> 00:00:58.359
as I fantasize about looking up at the night sky

10
00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:05.359
and seeing shooting star. Well, it's time to make the

11
00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:06.359
death wish.

12
00:01:06.879 --> 00:01:28.159
This radio mystery theater presents.

13
00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:29.120
Come in. Welcome.

14
00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:33.959
I'm a g Marshall. How well are you plugged into

15
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:37.640
your world? I don't mean the world around you outside

16
00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:41.560
of you, I mean your own private world, the one

17
00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:45.760
inside of you. Most men and women are content enough

18
00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:49.760
to take themselves as they find themselves, but some, either

19
00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:54.120
running from the world outside or searching for the one within,

20
00:01:54.719 --> 00:01:59.000
seek new frontiers far more dangerous than even the boundaries

21
00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:02.799
of space, more exotic than the mysteries of the ancient East.

22
00:02:03.400 --> 00:02:07.640
If your wife has toned someone else, why.

23
00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:12.680
Not do the same, George, Not really, Sena, What does

24
00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:18.039
it means if she has the first, I must kill

25
00:02:18.120 --> 00:02:30.479
them both. Our mystery drama The Death Wish was written

26
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:33.680
especially for the Mystery Theater by Ian Martin and stars

27
00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:34.360
Ralph Bell.

28
00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:38.879
It is sponsored in part by True Value Hardware Stories.

29
00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:51.759
I'll be that shortly with that one. It was Satul Page,

30
00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:56.319
the ageless baseball pitcher, who said, never look back, somebody

31
00:02:56.400 --> 00:02:59.560
might be gaining on you. That's a pretty apt description

32
00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:02.199
of almost any of us these days. Life is a

33
00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:05.680
perpetual train. We are running to catch a race, just

34
00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:08.879
to stay ahead of the bill collector, a mad dash

35
00:03:08.960 --> 00:03:11.919
to accumulate enough of the world's goods to buy security,

36
00:03:12.439 --> 00:03:16.840
which dances farther and farther away. George Solway is so

37
00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:19.280
little different from any of us that it would not

38
00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:22.919
be unfair to say that he could be you for me.

39
00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:28.000
Take its place. Come on, commuters and the uppat.

40
00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:33.520
Oh well, mister Soway, Okay, how's going back and forth?

41
00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:38.159
How's it with you? You know it is us brokers

42
00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:41.360
up and down to day, down the market.

43
00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:46.680
No may, I'm pooped, but at the back of the background,

44
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:49.280
get me a little more started. You gotta watch that stuff.

45
00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:52.120
Mister Sollaway could get to you. Well, I hope it

46
00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:53.800
does before I fizz off. I have a rocket to

47
00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:59.000
the ceiling. Something wrong in the process of coping with

48
00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:01.360
every day, Lily, it's getting out of my nerves.

49
00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:05.120
I know what you mean. I wonder if you do, Connie.

50
00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:08.280
I'll hope you don't forget it.

51
00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:10.800
I'm just not can.

52
00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:14.919
I fell a passenger here. I almost forgot his his ticket.

53
00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:16.160
He asked me to give it to you so he

54
00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:17.040
wouldn't be disturbed.

55
00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:21.040
He looks to it. Better check him before we get

56
00:04:21.079 --> 00:04:21.560
to his station.

57
00:04:21.639 --> 00:04:24.439
We don't worry, Connie. He gets off before me, and I'll.

58
00:04:24.279 --> 00:04:25.480
See he doesn't miss it.

59
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:28.079
You might cook off yourself. Forget it.

60
00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:31.160
I wound up like a spring with these days. The

61
00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:38.720
last thing I can do is sleep anywhere. It's been

62
00:04:38.759 --> 00:04:42.480
building slowly. I can't say I haven't been conscious of it,

63
00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:44.680
but I try to put it out of my mind.

64
00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:47.759
Something specials just where I live.

65
00:04:48.759 --> 00:04:51.519
Trade to the market floor all day, hit the commute home,

66
00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:54.600
try to be a husband and the father, commute back

67
00:04:55.879 --> 00:04:58.120
all the time. Inside it's like a pressure cooking without

68
00:04:58.160 --> 00:04:59.079
any safety valve.

69
00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:04.519
I'm gonna do something, but what I was gonna live?

70
00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:06.759
This is the only way I know how to.

71
00:05:08.519 --> 00:05:11.680
When I got back with my double muntednie, my companion

72
00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:12.480
was awake.

73
00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:17.040
Excuse please, I wish to thank you so much.

74
00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:21.920
What for troutating my meditician with your pleasure?

75
00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:24.839
My name is Ranji Trabbit at the cord. It was

76
00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:27.040
most kind of you to tender. I think it as

77
00:05:27.079 --> 00:05:29.560
my pleasure. I have to have it. You see, to

78
00:05:29.720 --> 00:05:33.560
have some meditician by this time of day and on

79
00:05:33.800 --> 00:05:36.319
the day train, so it was important to me.

80
00:05:36.439 --> 00:05:39.240
I remain undisturbed, okay, by man, I thought you're going

81
00:05:39.319 --> 00:05:39.680
to sleep?

82
00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:42.079
Who would not know? So far from that? My mind

83
00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:43.120
is too thirty a week.

84
00:05:43.959 --> 00:05:46.519
I hear all you and the conductors say, but I

85
00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:48.800
do not have to break my concentration.

86
00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:51.600
At the same time, I am addressed.

87
00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:55.399
You may you could meditrate and hear us at the

88
00:05:55.439 --> 00:05:56.120
same time.

89
00:05:57.480 --> 00:05:59.680
That what good is it done?

90
00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:05.120
The most good, such peace, such redaxation, such risk for

91
00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:08.279
result in rhapsodic meditation.

92
00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:09.759
I am in perfect balance.

93
00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:14.079
I can put away all care, get away from all treasures,

94
00:06:14.600 --> 00:06:16.079
step back far enough to.

95
00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:22.800
See them for what they are. Rap sonic meditations. What

96
00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:24.399
is that one of those new religion?

97
00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:27.879
No religion at all, My dear man, pure common sense.

98
00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:31.680
Yeah, so what what works for you doesn't necessarily work

99
00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:33.879
for me, though I have never suggested it might.

100
00:06:34.360 --> 00:06:36.319
I only answered your questions.

101
00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:42.560
Oh sure, but shows me if I stick to the

102
00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:45.079
old food and wine they get me back off the ceiling.

103
00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:48.959
To each his own, as long as it works. But

104
00:06:49.079 --> 00:06:52.759
I think one is a negative approach and the other

105
00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:55.720
it positive. May I give you my card?

106
00:06:56.480 --> 00:06:56.759
Sure?

107
00:06:56.879 --> 00:07:02.920
What forest market? I am interested in many things, of course,

108
00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:08.600
but at the moment will be you. Why Because I

109
00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:11.920
think you are looking for Head and in r M

110
00:07:12.680 --> 00:07:13.839
you might find him.

111
00:07:16.480 --> 00:07:20.720
Next me.

112
00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:22.839
Please, this is where I must get us.

113
00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:31.399
Strange character, and yet I give a lot to be

114
00:07:31.439 --> 00:07:32.519
as calm as he seemed to be.

115
00:07:33.959 --> 00:07:34.480
So crazy.

116
00:07:34.959 --> 00:07:39.839
All this meditation stuff it'll never do for me because

117
00:07:39.959 --> 00:07:42.000
my teen he had me all relapsed. So I was

118
00:07:42.040 --> 00:07:45.800
ad at a home and face married, maybe just for once,

119
00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:47.639
not fly off the handle.

120
00:07:48.839 --> 00:07:51.360
I MA, I'm tired, Jude.

121
00:07:52.439 --> 00:07:53.240
How is your dead?

122
00:07:53.399 --> 00:07:53.560
Oh?

123
00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:53.839
You know?

124
00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:55.639
Kat on a hots and roof.

125
00:07:55.959 --> 00:07:58.279
You feight hours passed? Eventually?

126
00:07:58.720 --> 00:07:59.920
How about a drink? Honey?

127
00:08:00.920 --> 00:08:05.240
You get the late train dinners already. I thought we

128
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:08.360
might skip it tonight. You mean you thought I might

129
00:08:08.759 --> 00:08:10.319
well it wouldn't do you any harm?

130
00:08:10.519 --> 00:08:11.160
Do you think?

131
00:08:12.199 --> 00:08:12.240
So?

132
00:08:12.399 --> 00:08:17.480
I take it myself. You're gonna join me? No, what

133
00:08:17.560 --> 00:08:19.680
does that mean? You gonna fight me?

134
00:08:19.959 --> 00:08:20.680
If I fight?

135
00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:22.079
Darling, it's only for us.

136
00:08:23.079 --> 00:08:26.800
Please eat dinner instead of drinking it.

137
00:08:27.079 --> 00:08:28.319
Hey, what is this?

138
00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:30.480
You're going to exhorb the temperance onions.

139
00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:35.320
You're so thin, dear, you need proper nourishment from worried,

140
00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:37.000
desperately worried.

141
00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:38.840
That's all above on you.

142
00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:44.080
You're driving yourself right over the brink. You're so hyped up,

143
00:08:44.120 --> 00:08:45.679
you're making yourself a nervous wrest.

144
00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:47.000
You talk as oh I was sick.

145
00:08:47.080 --> 00:08:50.080
Well in a way you are, dearest. Even your doctor

146
00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:51.240
says you're hypertense.

147
00:08:51.480 --> 00:08:53.440
So that's the nature of the beast.

148
00:08:53.639 --> 00:08:54.480
What can I do about it?

149
00:08:56.360 --> 00:08:59.519
There is something you can do about it, if you'd

150
00:08:59.559 --> 00:09:04.600
only maybe I will join you in one drinks so

151
00:09:04.759 --> 00:09:05.639
we can talk about it.

152
00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:08.919
Oh a week, one please, one week?

153
00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:17.919
Un let's sit a minute. Oh, thank you darling to us?

154
00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:22.600
Sure, well this is better, I am.

155
00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:26.320
I was talking to March Finley today.

156
00:09:27.279 --> 00:09:28.879
What's she looking for my contribution?

157
00:09:29.480 --> 00:09:30.200
Nothing like that.

158
00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:36.200
We were talking about traveling, traveling towards She and Bill

159
00:09:36.240 --> 00:09:40.240
are just like us, except they're taking advantage of their freedom.

160
00:09:40.759 --> 00:09:44.759
Six months ago they have that delirious Caribbean cruise. Now

161
00:09:44.919 --> 00:09:48.279
next week they're all for another whole months in the Pacific.

162
00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:49.840
That's all very well for Bill.

163
00:09:50.039 --> 00:09:50.840
They can afford it.

164
00:09:51.000 --> 00:09:52.799
I just don't see.

165
00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:55.360
Where he finds the time, same place you could find.

166
00:09:55.519 --> 00:09:57.039
I can't get away from the street.

167
00:09:57.159 --> 00:10:00.759
Mary, You're not a customer's man. Nobody depends on you.

168
00:10:00.919 --> 00:10:01.759
You have no plan.

169
00:10:01.919 --> 00:10:04.480
Your employers depend on me to make trades for them.

170
00:10:04.720 --> 00:10:07.480
Blastonbury and Pepper have plenty of others to fill your shoes,

171
00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:09.879
and they don't mind taking vacations.

172
00:10:10.320 --> 00:10:12.440
Lord knows you filled in for enough events.

173
00:10:12.519 --> 00:10:15.799
It's different for them. We have a children to worry about.

174
00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:19.320
What children? Tom and Alex are both off at college.

175
00:10:19.399 --> 00:10:21.080
That isn't borting.

176
00:10:21.240 --> 00:10:24.480
She goes on weekends and vacation, not many weekends.

177
00:10:25.480 --> 00:10:29.519
George, George, you're killing yourself at this pace. You've just

178
00:10:29.720 --> 00:10:32.080
got to slow down. Do you want me to do

179
00:10:32.480 --> 00:10:33.399
to workaholic?

180
00:10:34.200 --> 00:10:37.879
I think you've given yourself till you're ready to snap

181
00:10:38.279 --> 00:10:38.960
any moment.

182
00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:43.639
I'm trying to save you from that. Don't you understand

183
00:10:44.919 --> 00:10:46.360
You've got to see a doctor.

184
00:10:46.440 --> 00:10:48.480
I've seen a doctor. What does he have to tell

185
00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:49.240
me that I don't know?

186
00:10:49.960 --> 00:10:53.799
Well, it isn't a medical doctor you need.

187
00:10:54.320 --> 00:10:57.360
Oh, so that's what all this is working up to her.

188
00:10:57.840 --> 00:11:00.200
You think I've flipped down. Huh, that's what you're think

189
00:11:00.279 --> 00:11:00.440
of me.

190
00:11:00.720 --> 00:11:01.840
I didn't say that, but.

191
00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:04.679
It's what I thought. I don't ride a me me.

192
00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:08.240
Do it?

193
00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:10.720
Gigs, Where are you going?

194
00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:11.039
No?

195
00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:15.480
No, Pardia, walk anywhere, Just hide and find a little peace.

196
00:11:19.440 --> 00:11:22.799
Every nerve in my body was singing, every vein and

197
00:11:23.000 --> 00:11:26.440
artery hammering. I could feel my heart pounding rapidly as

198
00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:29.000
if it were rising, my chest pushing up against my throat,

199
00:11:29.039 --> 00:11:29.480
so it was.

200
00:11:29.519 --> 00:11:30.240
Hard to breathe.

201
00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:34.399
I had to do something, but I wasn't ready for

202
00:11:34.519 --> 00:11:37.279
some jerk to pick my brains or rummage around in

203
00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:37.960
my psyche.

204
00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:39.440
Not yet.

205
00:11:40.759 --> 00:11:44.799
There must be some other way. And then I remember

206
00:11:44.879 --> 00:11:48.320
the little Indian gentleman on the train. I fumbled in

207
00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:52.159
my pocket for his calm and founded I'd give him

208
00:11:52.159 --> 00:12:00.759
one try, mister uh Rabina to gore. You will call

209
00:12:02.080 --> 00:12:04.080
Mashi let your name her?

210
00:12:04.759 --> 00:12:06.399
Did I see my title?

211
00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:08.080
What does it mean?

212
00:12:08.879 --> 00:12:11.879
Oh, teacher, will be good enough?

213
00:12:13.159 --> 00:12:18.159
Is that what you do? Teach? This uh, rhapsodic meditation.

214
00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:24.240
I teach that and the way well is there is

215
00:12:24.279 --> 00:12:25.759
there some way you could teach me?

216
00:12:25.840 --> 00:12:26.399
How do you use it?

217
00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:29.919
But of course it is it expensive.

218
00:12:30.039 --> 00:12:32.639
That would be up to you to join the society

219
00:12:32.639 --> 00:12:35.440
as a fee of two hundred dollars to those who

220
00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:36.120
can afford.

221
00:12:36.200 --> 00:12:38.440
I think you can do.

222
00:12:38.559 --> 00:12:40.559
We think in many ways.

223
00:12:40.919 --> 00:12:42.559
I think you cannot afford.

224
00:12:42.879 --> 00:12:44.679
Not to mister s.

225
00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:46.559
You know me?

226
00:12:47.320 --> 00:12:47.960
You know my name?

227
00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:52.120
Oh yes, mister, I have been expecting your call.

228
00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:01.039
It seems that the Marish she operated out of his

229
00:13:01.159 --> 00:13:03.720
house in Denton's, so I had to make an appointment

230
00:13:03.799 --> 00:13:08.120
for late Friday afternoon. I felt better making it. At

231
00:13:08.200 --> 00:13:11.559
least I'd taken some step to relieve my tensions. But

232
00:13:11.720 --> 00:13:15.279
I'd reckon without Mary, who had the same object in view.

233
00:13:17.600 --> 00:13:22.480
Hi, Marris, me George, we're out on the patio.

234
00:13:23.399 --> 00:13:26.080
Well, I'll be right there.

235
00:13:29.240 --> 00:13:32.559
I didn't expect your home so soon, George, I have.

236
00:13:32.559 --> 00:13:34.799
An apartment in that and I wanted to pick up

237
00:13:34.799 --> 00:13:35.240
a car so.

238
00:13:35.240 --> 00:13:40.399
I could drive back. I hope I'm not sputting in.

239
00:13:41.279 --> 00:13:42.799
I didn't know you were expecting company.

240
00:13:42.919 --> 00:13:46.519
Well I wasn't. I mean, well, look who just dropped

241
00:13:46.559 --> 00:13:48.440
in this is Phil Eagan.

242
00:13:49.399 --> 00:13:52.519
I don't believe I've had a pleasure when you haven't met, but.

243
00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:54.879
Heavens knows you've heard me talk about him enough.

244
00:13:55.360 --> 00:13:57.559
Phil and I went to high school together, not the

245
00:13:57.639 --> 00:14:01.200
same class. I think I was too great ahead. How

246
00:14:01.240 --> 00:14:02.279
do you do, mister Solway?

247
00:14:03.559 --> 00:14:05.440
Would you like to join us for a drink? Darling?

248
00:14:05.759 --> 00:14:08.240
Thanks, You've got to be on my way to my appointment.

249
00:14:08.519 --> 00:14:11.600
Don't let me break up the party. No party, Your

250
00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:14.840
wife and I were just renewing old acquaintance. Yeah, so

251
00:14:14.919 --> 00:14:20.000
I see. Don't let me standing away at the bow

252
00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:20.720
out anyway?

253
00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:22.759
You or you don't understand?

254
00:14:23.159 --> 00:14:23.799
He's your guest.

255
00:14:23.879 --> 00:14:25.960
Yes, you take care of him. I have my own problems.

256
00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:27.519
Where are you going?

257
00:14:27.720 --> 00:14:31.159
That's my secret? Sony, fair, isn't it, Since you seem

258
00:14:31.200 --> 00:14:34.480
to have some of your own. I'll be back for dinner.

259
00:14:36.120 --> 00:14:38.679
There is going to be dinner, of course.

260
00:14:42.679 --> 00:14:45.320
The last thing I needed was to meet the man

261
00:14:45.399 --> 00:14:50.639
that Mary might have married, would have until she met me, Philipagan.

262
00:14:52.159 --> 00:14:55.360
Meeting him at last, I had only one blind desire,

263
00:14:56.639 --> 00:15:01.360
want to kill him, wipe him up forever. But I

264
00:15:01.480 --> 00:15:05.000
never imagine then that that was exactly what I had

265
00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:14.440
condemned myself to do the eternal triangle, one of life's

266
00:15:14.600 --> 00:15:16.320
most terrifying cliches.

267
00:15:16.960 --> 00:15:20.320
But stop a minute, do we know that this one

268
00:15:20.720 --> 00:15:21.279
is a cliche?

269
00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:25.799
Or other angles within angles that may change the shape

270
00:15:25.840 --> 00:15:30.240
of things to come? Can rhapsotic meditation bring George Solway

271
00:15:30.320 --> 00:15:33.879
a piece that may not passive understanding, but at least

272
00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:38.559
may bring understanding itself? Or will it start him on

273
00:15:38.600 --> 00:15:41.960
a voyage within himself that will lead him to a

274
00:15:42.080 --> 00:15:46.600
whirlpool of disaster. I shall return shortly with that too.

275
00:15:56.720 --> 00:15:58.879
What we are concerned with here is.

276
00:15:58.919 --> 00:15:59.919
A product of our time.

277
00:16:00.759 --> 00:16:04.159
A man pushed by the circumstances of his lifestyle to

278
00:16:04.279 --> 00:16:07.159
the end of his control. A man afflicted by one

279
00:16:07.200 --> 00:16:10.759
of the most prevalent diseases of our century, a silent

280
00:16:10.919 --> 00:16:16.080
killer hypertension. Not the least of this condition's results is

281
00:16:16.200 --> 00:16:19.519
that it not always only kills, but may develop into

282
00:16:19.600 --> 00:16:23.320
something far worse, a situation where the victim not only

283
00:16:23.399 --> 00:16:27.240
punishes himself, but becomes psychotic enough to blame his agony

284
00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:32.159
on others and seeks their deaths rather than his to

285
00:16:32.279 --> 00:16:35.399
achieve redeption. I was stunned at the size of the

286
00:16:35.440 --> 00:16:40.720
little man's property. The Marishi owned an estate. A servant

287
00:16:40.799 --> 00:16:43.919
in a tucked up sarrey that looked like a loose

288
00:16:44.039 --> 00:16:47.679
diaver showed me into a small anteroom with a highest ceiling.

289
00:16:49.080 --> 00:16:51.399
I was there for a long while, with some sort

290
00:16:51.440 --> 00:16:55.799
of bells chiming steadily leaped in the house, and the

291
00:16:55.879 --> 00:16:57.039
room heavy withincense.

292
00:16:58.320 --> 00:16:59.240
I was more than half.

293
00:16:59.080 --> 00:17:03.919
Asleep with She came not in western clothes now, but

294
00:17:04.079 --> 00:17:07.119
in a long flowing robe, which made him seem taller

295
00:17:07.359 --> 00:17:08.319
and more impressive.

296
00:17:10.119 --> 00:17:12.240
Greetings, my friend, mister Sorley.

297
00:17:13.079 --> 00:17:16.119
Pretty impressive place you have here, and that me and

298
00:17:16.240 --> 00:17:19.880
mister Surley, all of us who study the way belong

299
00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:25.200
to it, not it to us. Maybe I'm getting it

300
00:17:25.319 --> 00:17:27.119
over my head here. All I wanted to do was

301
00:17:27.200 --> 00:17:28.880
to try this meditation.

302
00:17:29.079 --> 00:17:31.799
Why not there are no strings attached.

303
00:17:32.359 --> 00:17:35.839
But we've got kind of a whole thing going here,

304
00:17:35.880 --> 00:17:40.559
I mean, like a religion. We want to progress beyond

305
00:17:40.640 --> 00:17:41.240
the meditation.

306
00:17:41.799 --> 00:17:45.000
That is your election. No one will presdent you to

307
00:17:45.119 --> 00:17:47.680
do so. Only three things are asked.

308
00:17:48.359 --> 00:17:51.079
What that you pay the initiation fee which you have,

309
00:17:51.640 --> 00:17:53.519
that you promise to try to use.

310
00:17:53.440 --> 00:17:55.880
This gift for what it is and never try to

311
00:17:55.960 --> 00:17:57.400
make it something it is not.

312
00:17:58.480 --> 00:18:01.400
And that you keep the word door mantra. We give

313
00:18:01.480 --> 00:18:08.440
you a secret norm only to yourself. For sure, I agree,

314
00:18:09.720 --> 00:18:12.640
But do you think this will work for me? That

315
00:18:12.799 --> 00:18:17.640
is a question only you, yourself can answer. Come let

316
00:18:17.759 --> 00:18:19.559
us see what it means for you.

317
00:18:23.640 --> 00:18:27.720
It was a wrong shrouded in darkness, with flowers all

318
00:18:27.799 --> 00:18:33.319
around and a scent of incense everywhere. He told me

319
00:18:33.400 --> 00:18:36.680
to remove my shoes, set me in an ordinary chair,

320
00:18:38.000 --> 00:18:41.839
told me to close my eyes, and murmured the rhythmic

321
00:18:42.039 --> 00:18:47.680
syllables of the mantra quietly in my ear. I remained

322
00:18:48.680 --> 00:18:52.559
repeating them in my mind and for forteen minutes, even

323
00:18:52.599 --> 00:18:56.799
though I was partly conscious of other sounds, a passing plane,

324
00:18:57.119 --> 00:19:02.039
voice someplace in my house, a door closing. I sank

325
00:19:02.279 --> 00:19:05.440
through layers and then floated to the top for some

326
00:19:06.200 --> 00:19:10.440
lulling sea. For the first time since I could remember

327
00:19:10.519 --> 00:19:14.000
in years, I knew peace.

328
00:19:20.720 --> 00:19:25.640
Were just leaving East Williston. Pambrock is the next stop

329
00:19:27.640 --> 00:19:31.160
front two cars. Please come back to third card to

330
00:19:31.359 --> 00:19:35.079
the mark for Pembroke. Fambroke is Alexation.

331
00:19:35.400 --> 00:19:38.759
Hey George, you awake. We're going to track back a

332
00:19:38.799 --> 00:19:39.440
couple of cars.

333
00:19:39.920 --> 00:19:42.279
I wasn't a safe I was testing something on that

334
00:19:42.559 --> 00:19:46.680
last night raapsotic meditation. Okay, Okay, I just want you

335
00:19:46.839 --> 00:19:48.920
right on up to Middleton. That happened to me last

336
00:19:48.960 --> 00:19:51.119
week and was my old woman saw at me. By

337
00:19:51.160 --> 00:19:53.559
the time I cockbike, I was meditating.

338
00:19:54.160 --> 00:19:54.359
Ok.

339
00:19:54.480 --> 00:19:58.519
You can lose everything while they're in meditation. There are

340
00:19:58.559 --> 00:20:04.000
no thoughts, which is a soft blank We have nothingness

341
00:20:04.039 --> 00:20:10.920
a blanket, so forgetfulness. You can't talk to Max Burger.

342
00:20:11.079 --> 00:20:14.559
He has to put down everything he is. That's why

343
00:20:14.599 --> 00:20:18.960
he's not well liked. Still, it's difficult to talk about

344
00:20:19.119 --> 00:20:22.039
our m to anyone, even my wife.

345
00:20:22.880 --> 00:20:24.960
More confie, George, Oh.

346
00:20:24.880 --> 00:20:26.519
This will do so much train time.

347
00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:32.079
Oh George, if you would just talk to this psychiatrist.

348
00:20:31.519 --> 00:20:32.960
Want I don't need a psychiatrist.

349
00:20:33.039 --> 00:20:36.440
I have our end I've been going to and he's wondering.

350
00:20:36.200 --> 00:20:37.400
We better off with meditation.

351
00:20:38.160 --> 00:20:39.359
I think I'm a lot cheaper.

352
00:20:39.200 --> 00:20:41.759
If we don't have to worry about money, George.

353
00:20:41.440 --> 00:20:43.920
Which is exactly why I want you to stay out

354
00:20:43.960 --> 00:20:44.519
of the crunches.

355
00:20:44.680 --> 00:20:45.400
Some headshrinker.

356
00:20:45.440 --> 00:20:48.599
That is a terrible thing to say if you knew

357
00:20:48.799 --> 00:20:51.240
how much this man has put himself out to help

358
00:20:51.319 --> 00:20:53.160
us without asking anything in return.

359
00:20:53.200 --> 00:20:55.440
I want to help you. Maybe is that it Mary?

360
00:20:56.319 --> 00:20:58.119
You just hired me and looking for something better?

361
00:20:58.119 --> 00:21:01.160
If that's the last thing you should ever say to me, George.

362
00:21:00.920 --> 00:21:01.880
Well, how could I blame you?

363
00:21:02.680 --> 00:21:05.119
And I'm such a terrible grouch, impossible to live with

364
00:21:05.960 --> 00:21:10.599
already halfway around the bend, for seven's sake, let's stop arguing.

365
00:21:10.680 --> 00:21:17.039
I have a train to catch. Driving to the station,

366
00:21:17.599 --> 00:21:22.200
parking the car, my nerves were exploding in small bursts

367
00:21:22.240 --> 00:21:26.960
all over my body, like electrical charges. I thought, what

368
00:21:27.119 --> 00:21:30.559
if Mary was unfaithful to me? And then the corollary,

369
00:21:31.000 --> 00:21:35.240
perhaps she already is? And I knew I needed meditation

370
00:21:35.559 --> 00:21:38.319
more than ever. I could hardly wait for the train

371
00:21:38.400 --> 00:21:42.640
to start rolling. So tell me, George, how were the

372
00:21:42.720 --> 00:21:45.599
dreams last night getting better all the time. I don't

373
00:21:45.640 --> 00:21:48.799
dray max, at least I try not to. It's night

374
00:21:48.839 --> 00:21:50.519
by a time. Yeah, I know what you mean, the

375
00:21:50.559 --> 00:21:53.559
way things go sometimes I just no escape. Well I

376
00:21:53.720 --> 00:21:58.240
found one, eh, Oh you mean that meditation giving hey

377
00:21:58.759 --> 00:22:03.559
showers that you meet any luscious dames while your data. No,

378
00:22:04.519 --> 00:22:06.880
it's not the object and it isn't day draining.

379
00:22:07.039 --> 00:22:07.839
Well whatever it.

380
00:22:07.920 --> 00:22:10.880
Is, no dy no, whether you can better if I

381
00:22:10.960 --> 00:22:13.000
went in for it, that's what would tease me into

382
00:22:13.079 --> 00:22:15.160
the spended animation, or knock it off when the night.

383
00:22:15.440 --> 00:22:17.319
Oh, pardon me, you take this thing?

384
00:22:17.440 --> 00:22:19.000
See, yes, I do.

385
00:22:19.759 --> 00:22:23.680
So what do you get out of it? Peace? Relaxation.

386
00:22:28.559 --> 00:22:31.839
I sat back, letting my hands fall on my knees,

387
00:22:32.839 --> 00:22:36.200
and I started the rhythmic cadence of my mantra running

388
00:22:36.240 --> 00:22:40.200
through my head. Although I could still hear the rattle

389
00:22:40.240 --> 00:22:42.759
of the train, it had ceased to be part of

390
00:22:42.799 --> 00:22:48.559
my consciousness. I was in a warm, encircling sea, spinning

391
00:22:49.359 --> 00:22:53.359
gently but insistently to the vortex in the center.

392
00:22:54.880 --> 00:23:01.240
It was content. There was no fear, and the voice.

393
00:23:01.400 --> 00:23:06.359
Was calling George, George.

394
00:23:07.279 --> 00:23:07.599
Who.

395
00:23:09.000 --> 00:23:09.119
Is it?

396
00:23:11.160 --> 00:23:11.559
Who are you?

397
00:23:12.519 --> 00:23:13.559
I am Serena.

398
00:23:14.960 --> 00:23:16.200
I'm waiting for you.

399
00:23:17.720 --> 00:23:20.759
Where beyond the edge?

400
00:23:22.559 --> 00:23:23.599
The edge of what?

401
00:23:24.480 --> 00:23:28.960
The edge that separate your world from mine?

402
00:23:30.759 --> 00:23:31.839
How can I cross it?

403
00:23:32.680 --> 00:23:38.000
When you are ready to leave your world behind, you will.

404
00:23:37.960 --> 00:23:41.400
Know why should I want to?

405
00:23:42.200 --> 00:23:45.240
Because only this will you know?

406
00:23:45.440 --> 00:23:50.839
An edge to draw it and the fine peace?

407
00:23:54.519 --> 00:23:59.240
Why did you look so hauntingly for media? Why did

408
00:23:59.279 --> 00:24:03.519
you draw me so strongly? Confided? I feel, in spite

409
00:24:03.519 --> 00:24:08.200
of almost overwhelming desire, that I must resist her.

410
00:24:09.359 --> 00:24:12.079
That she meant dangerous and disaster.

411
00:24:11.799 --> 00:24:18.480
For your attention, pays. You're coming into Central station last time.

412
00:24:19.400 --> 00:24:21.519
Please your granny belonging before.

413
00:24:21.279 --> 00:24:24.480
You leave this straight Hey hey, hey, hey, hey, better

414
00:24:24.559 --> 00:24:26.200
come on back and join the common books.

415
00:24:26.559 --> 00:24:29.880
Are we in already? It's just about And don't tell

416
00:24:29.960 --> 00:24:34.440
me you've been meditating for a whole hour, I must promisely.

417
00:24:34.680 --> 00:24:34.920
Yeah.

418
00:24:35.039 --> 00:24:37.880
Sure, from the look of you, you must have had sundary.

419
00:24:38.200 --> 00:24:40.680
Oh that must have been some gorgeous babe.

420
00:24:40.839 --> 00:24:43.559
Come on, Max lay offer news man, you must have

421
00:24:43.640 --> 00:24:44.559
a guilty conscience.

422
00:24:44.640 --> 00:24:46.880
It's not me who should have the guilty conscience.

423
00:24:46.920 --> 00:24:47.480
How odd does that?

424
00:24:47.759 --> 00:24:49.960
I'll forget it when you plan say in I want

425
00:24:50.000 --> 00:24:56.839
to get off. All through the business day, I couldn't

426
00:24:57.079 --> 00:25:02.480
forget it what I meant by remark Once during the

427
00:25:02.559 --> 00:25:06.160
morning I called Mary and twice in the afternoon, but

428
00:25:06.319 --> 00:25:07.000
he wasn't home.

429
00:25:08.200 --> 00:25:09.400
But it wasn't until after.

430
00:25:09.240 --> 00:25:13.480
An unsuccessful meditation on the train going home that I

431
00:25:13.640 --> 00:25:17.960
finally faced the truth. I couldn't wait to face Mary

432
00:25:18.039 --> 00:25:18.359
with him.

433
00:25:20.599 --> 00:25:21.480
Where were you all day?

434
00:25:21.559 --> 00:25:21.799
Mary?

435
00:25:22.279 --> 00:25:25.079
I went shopping in the morning, had lunch with some

436
00:25:25.200 --> 00:25:28.079
of the girls, had my session with a psychiatrist in

437
00:25:28.160 --> 00:25:28.799
the afternoon.

438
00:25:29.519 --> 00:25:31.640
Why I was trying to reach you all day.

439
00:25:31.920 --> 00:25:32.960
I'm sorry, George.

440
00:25:34.039 --> 00:25:37.200
Anything important that depends on the point of view.

441
00:25:39.039 --> 00:25:41.519
Mary. Are you having an affair?

442
00:25:42.160 --> 00:25:43.240
An affair.

443
00:25:45.079 --> 00:25:48.640
With whom a psychiatrist, whatever his name is, and you're

444
00:25:48.680 --> 00:25:52.160
out of your mind? George, strange question for you to ask.

445
00:25:53.079 --> 00:25:56.319
I thought you decided I was, but you haven't answered

446
00:25:56.359 --> 00:25:56.799
my question.

447
00:25:57.240 --> 00:26:00.519
I won't dignify it by giving it one as you are,

448
00:26:00.720 --> 00:26:02.599
which means nothing of the source.

449
00:26:02.759 --> 00:26:03.400
You're lying.

450
00:26:03.640 --> 00:26:04.960
I am not lying.

451
00:26:06.079 --> 00:26:09.279
Oh really, George, this is the last straw.

452
00:26:10.359 --> 00:26:12.920
If you don't do something to put yourself together again,

453
00:26:13.720 --> 00:26:14.480
and I'm going to have.

454
00:26:14.519 --> 00:26:17.599
To leave you, or maybe I will have that affair.

455
00:26:17.839 --> 00:26:18.400
You better not.

456
00:26:19.599 --> 00:26:21.960
I wouldn't think you'd care much anymore.

457
00:26:22.079 --> 00:26:23.240
I care this much.

458
00:26:24.359 --> 00:26:26.440
If I catch you even so much as looking at

459
00:26:26.480 --> 00:26:29.119
another man, I'll kill you and him.

460
00:26:29.200 --> 00:26:30.519
Oh, don't be ridiculous.

461
00:26:30.519 --> 00:26:31.880
I mean I believe you do.

462
00:26:33.160 --> 00:26:35.599
Don't you see how sick you are?

463
00:26:35.880 --> 00:26:37.119
I'm not you.

464
00:26:37.279 --> 00:26:40.000
Look at you to vain, standing out in your throat.

465
00:26:40.039 --> 00:26:41.039
You're shaking all over.

466
00:26:41.720 --> 00:26:44.440
Even if you're not sick, then you must be feeling

467
00:26:44.559 --> 00:26:45.799
guilty about something.

468
00:26:46.920 --> 00:26:51.160
What is it, George? Is it you the telling the affair?

469
00:26:51.680 --> 00:26:53.319
N Nay?

470
00:26:54.319 --> 00:26:56.400
You know I've remained so much as much of another woman.

471
00:26:57.200 --> 00:26:58.559
But what is the word in my mind?

472
00:26:58.839 --> 00:26:59.519
What is it?

473
00:26:59.720 --> 00:26:59.880
Darn?

474
00:27:00.279 --> 00:27:04.200
What is it that's driving you, pulling you apart, destroying

475
00:27:04.359 --> 00:27:05.640
you on me?

476
00:27:10.920 --> 00:27:12.880
For once, I had to admit Mary was right.

477
00:27:13.640 --> 00:27:14.359
I was shaky.

478
00:27:15.160 --> 00:27:18.240
I could hear myself coming apart of the scenes, and

479
00:27:18.400 --> 00:27:19.960
she was right about something else.

480
00:27:20.720 --> 00:27:24.119
I hadn't told her the whole truth. All day long,

481
00:27:24.240 --> 00:27:25.400
I had been thinking about.

482
00:27:25.160 --> 00:27:30.680
Another woman, the woman in my meditation, Serena, the woman

483
00:27:30.920 --> 00:27:34.799
every instinct told me I must resist, and yet whose

484
00:27:34.839 --> 00:27:39.519
spells still lay on me, drawing me irresistibly back to her.

485
00:27:41.680 --> 00:27:44.599
I couldn't wait to return to my meditation the next morning.

486
00:27:46.160 --> 00:27:46.680
You mean.

487
00:27:49.000 --> 00:27:51.720
Yes, sor Ena, I knew you would.

488
00:27:53.480 --> 00:27:54.480
Are you put to me?

489
00:27:56.720 --> 00:27:58.960
How can I tell me?

490
00:28:01.880 --> 00:28:02.920
Come your ties?

491
00:28:03.079 --> 00:28:06.319
If your way, I'm stepping to mine.

492
00:28:07.960 --> 00:28:10.599
I don't know how to help.

493
00:28:12.119 --> 00:28:12.880
Stand up.

494
00:28:14.359 --> 00:28:15.680
That's stressed.

495
00:28:18.200 --> 00:28:19.039
Look back.

496
00:28:20.400 --> 00:28:21.200
Up your feet.

497
00:28:23.160 --> 00:28:25.079
I can see myself.

498
00:28:26.359 --> 00:28:35.160
Sitting eyes closed, only eight thirty seven, on my way

499
00:28:35.240 --> 00:28:35.960
into the city.

500
00:28:37.640 --> 00:28:45.039
That's me George alway, that's my buddy, not the.

501
00:28:45.160 --> 00:28:51.640
George always cold, the welcome with pelfilled.

502
00:28:53.160 --> 00:28:56.880
Why don't you leave the honor behind George?

503
00:29:00.960 --> 00:29:06.720
I turn and look at the woman. She is blindingly beautifully,

504
00:29:08.079 --> 00:29:12.359
so beautiful. I can't separate her features, only the overall

505
00:29:12.480 --> 00:29:17.880
loveliness and the radiance of calm and promise that makes

506
00:29:17.960 --> 00:29:22.319
me long to go to her arms. But another force

507
00:29:22.480 --> 00:29:25.519
drags my glance back to the figure sitting so still

508
00:29:25.559 --> 00:29:30.720
and unmoving on the swaying train seat. I'm cold, Suddenly

509
00:29:31.799 --> 00:29:36.000
I'm afraid, and for the first time in my life,

510
00:29:37.160 --> 00:29:43.680
I understand what is meant by the death wish. What

511
00:29:43.839 --> 00:29:46.640
a terrifying thing it is to invade the privacy of

512
00:29:46.680 --> 00:29:51.839
a man's mind, to watch him struggle between illusion and reality.

513
00:29:52.640 --> 00:29:55.920
The sense of decency prompts us to walk away, And

514
00:29:56.079 --> 00:30:00.799
yet how can we deny the fascination of a struggle unresolved?

515
00:30:01.799 --> 00:30:04.559
Won't you join me to discover how it is? When

516
00:30:04.640 --> 00:30:17.559
I return with Act three? Now, shall we return again

517
00:30:17.640 --> 00:30:20.759
to the haunted chambers of George so Alway's mind. As

518
00:30:20.799 --> 00:30:23.920
he rides in the suspended animation on his morning Commuters train,

519
00:30:24.680 --> 00:30:27.839
he hangs in a half world between the bright promise

520
00:30:27.960 --> 00:30:31.920
of illusion and the black, stark reality of his crumbling

521
00:30:32.000 --> 00:30:32.720
personal life.

522
00:30:33.440 --> 00:30:35.799
Which way should he reach for.

523
00:30:35.880 --> 00:30:39.119
The blessed anodyne of total nothingness and a shadowy world

524
00:30:39.240 --> 00:30:42.440
of release from pain, or the old world, which has

525
00:30:42.519 --> 00:30:45.519
become as agonizing as the tortures of the rack.

526
00:30:46.359 --> 00:30:54.359
Let us find out. I'm absurd, sir, nothing.

527
00:30:54.160 --> 00:31:04.160
To be afraid. Coue before it's too late, too late

528
00:31:04.279 --> 00:31:10.359
for what to say in your arm old possess.

529
00:31:10.119 --> 00:31:12.160
Me me your own.

530
00:31:13.559 --> 00:31:20.279
I can't Serena. I have a wife. I know I

531
00:31:20.799 --> 00:31:21.799
can't leave her.

532
00:31:22.240 --> 00:31:22.759
Why not?

533
00:31:24.079 --> 00:31:25.799
She don't love you anymore?

534
00:31:26.200 --> 00:31:29.599
No, no way I've been lately. I could hardly blame her.

535
00:31:29.680 --> 00:31:31.440
If she's turned to someone.

536
00:31:33.920 --> 00:31:44.279
I don't know. I'm afraid I think she has. If she.

537
00:31:46.039 --> 00:31:47.599
I think you do the same.

538
00:31:48.759 --> 00:31:50.480
No, not first, what.

539
00:31:52.200 --> 00:31:53.759
It means that Mary has?

540
00:31:54.200 --> 00:31:57.920
And I find that first, I kill them both.

541
00:31:58.559 --> 00:32:01.640
If you did that, and you wouldn't be able to

542
00:32:01.799 --> 00:32:06.400
return to me, why they would be wrong.

543
00:32:06.279 --> 00:32:07.519
For you and my feet?

544
00:32:08.839 --> 00:32:11.839
It or never to be.

545
00:32:12.960 --> 00:32:16.480
I guess it has. It has to be never.

546
00:32:21.200 --> 00:32:21.960
No what went?

547
00:32:29.319 --> 00:32:30.000
She was gone.

548
00:32:31.680 --> 00:32:34.079
I took some steps after her, but she was swallowed

549
00:32:34.119 --> 00:32:38.039
in the midst. Quickly, shakily, I stumbled back to where

550
00:32:38.079 --> 00:32:41.000
my body lay like a wax star on the train seat.

551
00:32:42.119 --> 00:32:45.200
In sudden weakness, I reached for the armor of its protection,

552
00:32:46.400 --> 00:32:49.759
collapsing into it and coming awake with a roaring in

553
00:32:49.839 --> 00:32:57.160
my head, my mouth dry and burning. It was an

554
00:32:57.240 --> 00:33:00.799
endless day and exchange by the cloth well. My head

555
00:33:00.920 --> 00:33:04.279
was one solid dull ache. I couldn't wait to get

556
00:33:04.279 --> 00:33:08.160
to the train and go back into meditation. It was strange.

557
00:33:08.960 --> 00:33:11.319
I dropped quickly away into nothingness. But as soon as

558
00:33:11.359 --> 00:33:14.920
I reached that plane, I found myself leaving my body

559
00:33:14.960 --> 00:33:19.640
easily and quickly. I roamed endlessly, free of the shackles

560
00:33:19.680 --> 00:33:23.480
of my aching head and twitching nerves. There was no times.

561
00:33:24.480 --> 00:33:27.799
It could have been a week, a day, and eternity.

562
00:33:31.920 --> 00:33:34.000
It was a shock to get home and find no

563
00:33:34.400 --> 00:33:37.839
Mary waiting for me. My choptor turned quickly into a

564
00:33:37.920 --> 00:33:40.759
nail biting fury that drove me straight to the bar.

565
00:33:47.119 --> 00:33:51.359
George, Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be late

566
00:33:51.519 --> 00:33:51.720
like this.

567
00:33:52.720 --> 00:33:53.240
Where did then?

568
00:33:53.839 --> 00:33:55.359
Out nowhere?

569
00:33:56.279 --> 00:34:01.000
Just driving? What train did you catch at four o'clock?

570
00:34:01.319 --> 00:34:01.480
Oh?

571
00:34:02.480 --> 00:34:04.960
I wasn't expecting you back till the four fifty at

572
00:34:04.960 --> 00:34:05.480
the earliest.

573
00:34:05.599 --> 00:34:08.800
Ye, I'll bet. I don't like your tone, and I

574
00:34:08.880 --> 00:34:12.559
don't like your lies. What lies? H Do you think

575
00:34:12.719 --> 00:34:13.480
you're kidding?

576
00:34:13.920 --> 00:34:14.880
Just driving around?

577
00:34:16.159 --> 00:34:18.960
If you were who with myself. You'll expect me to

578
00:34:19.079 --> 00:34:19.519
believe that.

579
00:34:19.800 --> 00:34:21.880
Who do you think I was with a guy?

580
00:34:22.480 --> 00:34:25.320
God, my god, Where you're having an affair with you

581
00:34:25.559 --> 00:34:26.800
are impossible.

582
00:34:27.679 --> 00:34:30.480
I can't take it anymore. If you have to know

583
00:34:30.559 --> 00:34:33.679
where I was, I'll tell you. I was with Ruth Harris. Oh,

584
00:34:34.079 --> 00:34:37.559
Ruth Harris. She's a travel agent. I was talking with

585
00:34:37.639 --> 00:34:39.599
her about going away for a couple of weeks so

586
00:34:39.760 --> 00:34:42.519
I could get hold of myself, and maybe you could

587
00:34:42.559 --> 00:34:45.280
do the same. Your dinner's on the stove, you can

588
00:34:45.360 --> 00:34:46.079
heat it yourself.

589
00:34:46.400 --> 00:34:48.239
I'll leave breakfast in the morning while you're.

590
00:34:48.119 --> 00:34:50.320
Going upstairs to get my stuff and move.

591
00:34:50.199 --> 00:34:51.159
It into the guest room.

592
00:34:51.800 --> 00:34:53.920
I have had all I can take.

593
00:34:57.639 --> 00:35:01.280
I had a lousy night, couldn't sleep. By morning, I

594
00:35:01.360 --> 00:35:03.320
was ready to break down the door of the guest room.

595
00:35:03.840 --> 00:35:09.400
Then I had a better idea. I clumped downstairs to

596
00:35:09.480 --> 00:35:12.639
a noisy breakfast, which I didn't eat, and left for

597
00:35:12.719 --> 00:35:16.880
the station by a car at my usual time. But

598
00:35:17.039 --> 00:35:18.960
I didn't go to the station. I parked at the

599
00:35:19.039 --> 00:35:22.239
nearest shopping mall and walked back to the house. I

600
00:35:22.320 --> 00:35:24.119
found a place in the shrubbery where I could watch

601
00:35:24.159 --> 00:35:30.960
the front door and settle down the way. It was

602
00:35:31.039 --> 00:35:33.920
nearly eleven o'clock that he came, getting out of his

603
00:35:34.079 --> 00:35:36.719
car and going up bowl of his breast during the

604
00:35:36.760 --> 00:35:40.559
front door bell. The man I'd surprised Mary with less

605
00:35:40.599 --> 00:35:43.360
than a week before, something Eagan.

606
00:35:44.239 --> 00:35:46.880
Oh yeah, Philip, that was here.

607
00:35:48.199 --> 00:35:52.119
Oh Phil it's you. I've been frantic waiting.

608
00:35:52.400 --> 00:35:53.480
I came as soon as I could.

609
00:35:53.679 --> 00:35:55.880
Oh, you don't know how wonderful it is to see

610
00:35:55.920 --> 00:35:57.079
you or Mary.

611
00:35:57.159 --> 00:35:57.760
Take it easy.

612
00:35:58.159 --> 00:36:01.559
I can't anymore. This thing has got to be settled, phil,

613
00:36:01.639 --> 00:36:03.039
I can't live with it anymore.

614
00:36:05.159 --> 00:36:05.880
Look at me, dear.

615
00:36:07.039 --> 00:36:10.000
I'll simmer down. We'll find a way to settle it.

616
00:36:10.960 --> 00:36:18.880
Let's go inside, now, shall I've seen it. I'd seen

617
00:36:18.960 --> 00:36:21.960
the proof, but for a moment I couldn't believe it.

618
00:36:22.400 --> 00:36:27.079
I was being driven to murder, But coldly I decided

619
00:36:27.119 --> 00:36:29.000
I had no intention of paying the price for it.

620
00:36:29.079 --> 00:36:31.800
I didn't have to, but just punishment.

621
00:36:31.440 --> 00:36:33.440
For that treachery to me could be meted out.

622
00:36:33.480 --> 00:36:36.960
While I was miles away from the scene and securely alibied,

623
00:36:38.159 --> 00:36:40.239
I turned and headed for the railroad station.

624
00:36:45.880 --> 00:36:51.320
You're taking a very dreemsy Ah, Yes, I had some

625
00:36:51.679 --> 00:36:54.840
business that attain that home. I have some that takes

626
00:36:54.920 --> 00:36:59.119
me from man, and may I enjoin you? Well, we

627
00:36:59.400 --> 00:37:00.239
are sure?

628
00:37:00.280 --> 00:37:00.519
Why not?

629
00:37:01.119 --> 00:37:02.119
Thank you so much?

630
00:37:03.880 --> 00:37:06.840
Are you meditating regularity?

631
00:37:07.519 --> 00:37:11.199
I sure I am. Has it brought you a redic season?

632
00:37:12.280 --> 00:37:12.519
Yeah?

633
00:37:12.920 --> 00:37:13.880
In its own way?

634
00:37:14.840 --> 00:37:20.039
Oh? Would you excuse me? I usually meditate on the train.

635
00:37:20.280 --> 00:37:23.639
But of course I have steered my harbing paper to.

636
00:37:23.760 --> 00:37:30.079
Read for what I had in mind that couldn't suit

637
00:37:30.159 --> 00:37:34.079
me better. And I witness my presence on a train

638
00:37:34.199 --> 00:37:37.599
miles away from my house established as an unshakable alibi

639
00:37:38.519 --> 00:37:41.800
and an opportunity to prove the incontrovertibility whether or not

640
00:37:41.960 --> 00:37:45.400
my wife was cheating on me before I killed her

641
00:37:45.639 --> 00:37:46.639
and her lover.

642
00:37:48.280 --> 00:37:48.719
No effort.

643
00:37:48.800 --> 00:37:52.880
I stepped away from my body to become my astral self,

644
00:37:53.960 --> 00:37:56.320
you know, with an instant, I stepped through space and

645
00:37:56.480 --> 00:38:00.320
time to my house, climbing the stairs to our big room.

646
00:38:01.239 --> 00:38:05.320
It was just as I suspected. Mary was already in bed.

647
00:38:05.639 --> 00:38:09.800
The man seated beside her, smoothing back her hair from

648
00:38:09.880 --> 00:38:11.360
her forehead is.

649
00:38:11.400 --> 00:38:15.639
A cold only just a minute. Please do all right?

650
00:38:16.840 --> 00:38:18.880
But I hope you're not going to change your mind.

651
00:38:19.119 --> 00:38:24.519
No, no, I won't back out now. I see that

652
00:38:24.639 --> 00:38:25.519
he's got to go.

653
00:38:29.760 --> 00:38:33.559
I didn't have to hear anymore. It was beyond revenge.

654
00:38:34.280 --> 00:38:37.239
It was my life for theirs. I turned to the

655
00:38:37.280 --> 00:38:39.519
table drawer on the opposite side of the bed, knowing

656
00:38:39.599 --> 00:38:42.239
they couldn't see me, I took out the revolval we

657
00:38:42.360 --> 00:38:46.480
kept there for household protection. And even knowing they couldn't.

658
00:38:46.199 --> 00:38:50.440
Hear me, I had to say the words die, die,

659
00:38:50.840 --> 00:38:51.360
both of you.

660
00:38:51.639 --> 00:39:08.320
I have no life now, George, George, Darling, can you

661
00:39:08.440 --> 00:39:13.920
hear me? Well, well, oh, my darling, listen to me.

662
00:39:14.880 --> 00:39:17.920
It's Mary, Mary, Yes, dear.

663
00:39:19.360 --> 00:39:22.320
He can't be set dead.

664
00:39:22.679 --> 00:39:26.320
No, no, Darling, open your eyes and look.

665
00:39:27.960 --> 00:39:28.880
I don't understand.

666
00:39:30.719 --> 00:39:35.800
I fired the shots, I sweep ut fall back.

667
00:39:37.559 --> 00:39:39.440
The blood, the blood.

668
00:39:39.440 --> 00:39:43.719
I don't think of all that. Now it's over. I

669
00:39:43.800 --> 00:39:45.280
think you'd better talk to the doctor.

670
00:39:46.320 --> 00:39:50.760
What doctor my name is, doctor Egan, Mister Solway. If

671
00:39:50.840 --> 00:39:56.199
you remember we have met once, I killed you in

672
00:39:56.320 --> 00:40:00.440
your mind. Perhaps, Fortunately the wish only remain the father

673
00:40:00.559 --> 00:40:04.960
to the deed. It never actually happened. I don't understand

674
00:40:06.480 --> 00:40:07.280
what did happen?

675
00:40:08.960 --> 00:40:10.960
Where am are in a hospital? Darling?

676
00:40:12.119 --> 00:40:13.119
How did I get here?

677
00:40:13.320 --> 00:40:15.760
A nice little Indian gentleman with a name I couldn't

678
00:40:15.800 --> 00:40:18.920
even pronounce let alone. Remember we're sitting next to you

679
00:40:19.039 --> 00:40:21.280
on the train when you had your seizure.

680
00:40:21.960 --> 00:40:22.760
He brought you here.

681
00:40:24.119 --> 00:40:25.320
What you made seizure for?

682
00:40:25.480 --> 00:40:29.119
You went into convulsions, and if you hadn't gotten to

683
00:40:29.199 --> 00:40:31.920
the hospital in time, you would have been dead.

684
00:40:37.360 --> 00:40:41.599
I still don't understand, Phil. It wasn't just hypertension.

685
00:40:42.000 --> 00:40:43.679
That was a result, not a cause.

686
00:40:44.239 --> 00:40:45.400
What was the cause?

687
00:40:45.639 --> 00:40:47.360
That was the difficult thing to pin down.

688
00:40:48.320 --> 00:40:52.320
If the orangines had been psychiatric, I couldn't have promised

689
00:40:52.360 --> 00:40:52.840
you a cure.

690
00:40:52.920 --> 00:40:53.559
But they weren't.

691
00:40:54.199 --> 00:40:59.559
Almost entirely somatic, somatic physical. The anorexia nervosa was the

692
00:40:59.639 --> 00:41:04.079
clue under eating From that. Here in the hospital they

693
00:41:04.199 --> 00:41:07.039
managed to pin it down to hypoglycemia lack of sugar.

694
00:41:07.840 --> 00:41:12.000
All the other symptoms devolved from that, fatigue, irritation, delusions

695
00:41:12.000 --> 00:41:12.320
and so on.

696
00:41:12.719 --> 00:41:16.079
And can he be cured, of course, once he'll cooperate.

697
00:41:16.719 --> 00:41:18.159
But he thought we were lovers.

698
00:41:18.880 --> 00:41:21.519
He thought he'd killed us only in the mind, and

699
00:41:21.679 --> 00:41:23.880
he had the total excuse that at the time he

700
00:41:24.119 --> 00:41:25.480
was not in his right mind.

701
00:41:26.039 --> 00:41:30.079
He was very ill. Don't hold it against him, Mary.

702
00:41:30.079 --> 00:41:33.920
I won't. If only I could be sure that he

703
00:41:34.039 --> 00:41:34.960
wants me back.

704
00:41:35.000 --> 00:41:38.360
In his right mind, he will cherish your marry.

705
00:41:39.360 --> 00:41:41.880
If he didn't feel as deeply as he does about you,

706
00:41:42.079 --> 00:41:44.800
he wouldn't have been ready to risk everything to make

707
00:41:44.880 --> 00:41:45.519
sure that no.

708
00:41:45.559 --> 00:41:46.480
One else could have you.

709
00:41:51.760 --> 00:41:55.360
I do a lot of meditating these days, Oh not

710
00:41:55.519 --> 00:41:59.760
the rhapsonical cond I don't need any magic or mantras

711
00:41:59.800 --> 00:42:01.000
to daydream where I.

712
00:42:01.079 --> 00:42:01.800
Am with Mary.

713
00:42:03.119 --> 00:42:05.119
It's part of the course on the island of Maui,

714
00:42:05.920 --> 00:42:09.639
where the waves breaking the shore and form again to

715
00:42:09.760 --> 00:42:15.159
run backwards to the horizon. There's something to this traveling,

716
00:42:15.239 --> 00:42:18.960
after all, and taking a long break every so often,

717
00:42:20.000 --> 00:42:21.079
no matter what it costs.

718
00:42:22.920 --> 00:42:31.760
Why didn't I find it out sooner? An object lesson

719
00:42:31.880 --> 00:42:32.400
for all of us.

720
00:42:32.960 --> 00:42:35.760
It is William Wordsworth who warned us a century and

721
00:42:35.800 --> 00:42:38.840
a half ago that the world is too much with

722
00:42:39.039 --> 00:42:44.559
us getting and spending, we lay waste our powers. George

723
00:42:44.599 --> 00:42:47.760
saw where was lucky. He had a fearful warning, of course,

724
00:42:48.199 --> 00:42:50.559
but it was enough to save the rest of his life.

725
00:42:51.280 --> 00:43:03.199
I'll be back shortly, Hi, This is Michael. The pace

726
00:43:03.320 --> 00:43:06.760
of life today is inexorable. We're all in danger of

727
00:43:06.840 --> 00:43:09.760
being driven faster than we have the physique physical as

728
00:43:09.800 --> 00:43:10.679
well as mental.

729
00:43:10.760 --> 00:43:11.920
To ride the treadmill.

730
00:43:12.800 --> 00:43:16.960
What's the answer if one falters or fails, stop the

731
00:43:17.039 --> 00:43:18.440
world because we want to get off?

732
00:43:19.280 --> 00:43:20.360
That's scarcely practical.

733
00:43:21.360 --> 00:43:24.960
But how about just getting off, stop yourself and let

734
00:43:25.039 --> 00:43:29.880
the world go on until you're ready to catch up? Impossible, impractical.

735
00:43:30.800 --> 00:43:34.440
It's an individual choice. It's a matter of what values

736
00:43:34.800 --> 00:43:38.960
you place upon life and the living of it. Our

737
00:43:39.039 --> 00:43:42.000
cast included Ralph Bell, Caroll t Tell, William Griffith and

738
00:43:42.119 --> 00:43:45.480
Ian Martin. The entire production was under the direction of

739
00:43:45.559 --> 00:43:51.360
Hymon Brown. Until next Time, Pleasant Dreams.

740
00:44:28.679 --> 00:44:32.760
I feel positively jubilant after that one. How about you,

741
00:44:33.000 --> 00:44:34.920
my dear? Oh what's that?

742
00:44:35.880 --> 00:44:36.119
Well?

743
00:44:37.360 --> 00:44:42.119
I suppose we'll just have to wait and see, won't wait.

744
00:44:43.719 --> 00:44:49.760
I keep thinking about the big day. I'm so excited

745
00:44:49.840 --> 00:44:55.679
to see just a little beyond this world I've built. Well,

746
00:44:56.840 --> 00:44:58.559
we've built, I suppose.

747
00:45:00.159 --> 00:45:00.360
Well.

748
00:45:01.119 --> 00:45:03.679
It's always nice to have something to look forward to,

749
00:45:04.880 --> 00:45:10.079
like a hot cup of tea or walking the streets

750
00:45:11.239 --> 00:45:13.400
as a well dressed corpse.

751
00:45:19.360 --> 00:45:24.440
Auto Light and It's ninety six thousand Dealers Present suspends.

752
00:45:29.440 --> 00:45:32.440
Nice Auto Light brings you a suspense play of love

753
00:45:32.639 --> 00:45:36.119
and death in a New York penthouse, A well dressed

754
00:45:36.280 --> 00:45:45.000
corpse and starring Miss Eve Varden. Before our play begins,

755
00:45:45.079 --> 00:45:47.400
here's a word about auto light from our good friend

756
00:45:47.519 --> 00:45:48.440
Holow Wilcox.

757
00:45:49.679 --> 00:45:52.000
Hi, mister Wilcox, what can I do for you? Well,

758
00:45:52.159 --> 00:45:55.360
sam my friendly autolite spark plug man? You can tell

759
00:45:55.480 --> 00:45:58.119
me what do you think of those fresh, frisky and

760
00:45:58.239 --> 00:46:00.519
frolicsome ignition engineered auto light.

761
00:46:00.480 --> 00:46:02.559
Spark plug They're tops, mister Wilcox.

762
00:46:02.840 --> 00:46:05.519
Now tell me if replacing one out spark plugs with

763
00:46:05.599 --> 00:46:09.199
ignition engineered autolite spark plugs will give a car smoother

764
00:46:09.360 --> 00:46:11.239
performance quick starts.

765
00:46:12.000 --> 00:46:13.400
Guess saving you bet?

766
00:46:13.719 --> 00:46:14.840
What else would you like to know?

767
00:46:15.159 --> 00:46:15.400
Well?

768
00:46:16.079 --> 00:46:18.679
Are auto light spark plugs made by the same auto

769
00:46:18.760 --> 00:46:22.280
light engineers who design coils, distributors and all the other

770
00:46:22.360 --> 00:46:25.719
important parts of the complete ignition system used as original

771
00:46:25.840 --> 00:46:28.159
factory equipment on many leading makes.

772
00:46:28.000 --> 00:46:29.159
Of our finest cars.

773
00:46:29.320 --> 00:46:31.920
Why, of course on That's why we say auto light

774
00:46:32.000 --> 00:46:35.320
spark plugs are ignition engineered, designed to perform as a

775
00:46:35.360 --> 00:46:37.519
perfect team with your car's ignition system.

776
00:46:37.679 --> 00:46:39.199
Sure, can I tell you more?

777
00:46:39.400 --> 00:46:39.599
Yes?

778
00:46:40.039 --> 00:46:43.599
Do auto light spark plug dealers like you replace one

779
00:46:43.639 --> 00:46:46.800
out spark plugs with ignition engineered autolite spark plugs either

780
00:46:46.920 --> 00:46:49.159
standard or resistor type, of course.

781
00:46:49.440 --> 00:46:51.519
But you know all about that, mister Wilcox.

782
00:46:51.599 --> 00:46:52.760
Yeah, but I just love to hear it.

783
00:46:53.119 --> 00:46:55.519
But you said it, and I'll say it again because

784
00:46:55.599 --> 00:46:59.559
you're always right with autolite, And now with a well

785
00:46:59.639 --> 00:47:03.320
dressed corpse and the performance of miss eve Arden's auto

786
00:47:03.360 --> 00:47:06.840
light hopes once again to keep you in saucepan.

787
00:47:13.280 --> 00:47:15.360
She's lying on the couch in my office. Thought I'd

788
00:47:15.400 --> 00:47:17.239
just let her alone until you showed up, Captain Rook.

789
00:47:17.239 --> 00:47:20.119
And I never was considered of your lieutenant. Here we

790
00:47:20.239 --> 00:47:27.039
are inside. Are you sure that's her? Positive? Where was

791
00:47:27.119 --> 00:47:28.239
she picked up? In her bedroom?

792
00:47:28.599 --> 00:47:29.280
Hell's kitchen?

793
00:47:29.440 --> 00:47:32.039
And Ali she lost her dress and one of the

794
00:47:32.079 --> 00:47:38.039
boys gave his overcoat. Got your name?

795
00:47:38.760 --> 00:47:40.440
My name is Ruth Franklin.

796
00:47:40.920 --> 00:47:41.360
How old are you?

797
00:47:42.159 --> 00:47:42.760
Thirty three?

798
00:47:43.280 --> 00:47:43.880
Where do you live?

799
00:47:44.679 --> 00:47:46.840
Pickwick Arms on Riverside Drive.

800
00:47:47.440 --> 00:47:48.239
Do you drive a car?

801
00:47:48.920 --> 00:47:52.840
Yes, a blue convertible Mediterranean blue.

802
00:47:53.199 --> 00:47:54.800
Did you go to school in the city.

803
00:47:55.239 --> 00:47:59.599
Graduate school, Columbia University? I went to Stanford. I worked

804
00:47:59.599 --> 00:48:04.599
for the Rington Green Advertising Agency. My secretary's name is P. D. Wright.

805
00:48:05.639 --> 00:48:07.480
I'm the murderer you're looking.

806
00:48:07.280 --> 00:48:11.119
For, Okay, I guess you're Ruth Franklin.

807
00:48:11.199 --> 00:48:13.519
All right, I guess I can't blame you for not

808
00:48:13.639 --> 00:48:17.880
recognizing me. Did you know that six weeks ago I

809
00:48:18.039 --> 00:48:20.840
was voted one of the ten best dressed women in America?

810
00:48:21.320 --> 00:48:22.599
Yeah, I've read something about it.

811
00:48:23.480 --> 00:48:27.320
I always knew that someday I would be, but when

812
00:48:27.400 --> 00:48:31.000
it actually happened, it was just as exciting as if

813
00:48:31.039 --> 00:48:34.920
it had been a total surprise. The invitation to the

814
00:48:34.960 --> 00:48:38.480
buffet luncheon to meet the press came on Friday. I

815
00:48:38.599 --> 00:48:41.320
ran right out and bought the most elegant and expensive

816
00:48:41.440 --> 00:48:45.519
dress I could find, and when I swept into the luncheon,

817
00:48:46.519 --> 00:48:50.639
everyone was looking at me, including the other nine well

818
00:48:50.760 --> 00:48:56.039
dressed women. Percy Hamilton of Radcliffe, a little bald headed

819
00:48:56.119 --> 00:49:00.239
man who moved and looked like a startled chipmunk, met

820
00:49:00.320 --> 00:49:01.039
me as I came in.

821
00:49:02.440 --> 00:49:03.719
Oh, who, Miss Franklin.

822
00:49:04.039 --> 00:49:06.400
I'm so happy to see you right this way.

823
00:49:06.480 --> 00:49:08.000
Please, you're a little.

824
00:49:07.880 --> 00:49:10.920
Date, you know, Percy, Baby, You've confused me, perhaps with

825
00:49:11.039 --> 00:49:13.079
the debutante I work for a living.

826
00:49:14.760 --> 00:49:16.840
I'm going to put you here at table thirteen.

827
00:49:17.280 --> 00:49:18.599
Oh pardon me, mister Mason.

828
00:49:18.679 --> 00:49:22.639
I'm sorry, mister Mason. May I present Miss Franklin. How

829
00:49:22.679 --> 00:49:23.079
do you doing.

830
00:49:23.440 --> 00:49:24.079
How do you do that?

831
00:49:24.199 --> 00:49:26.440
You two are going to be luncheon partners?

832
00:49:28.480 --> 00:49:30.480
Well, I run along.

833
00:49:33.400 --> 00:49:36.320
You, of course, couldn't be anyone else but the best

834
00:49:36.440 --> 00:49:37.239
dressed Franklin.

835
00:49:37.760 --> 00:49:39.360
I'm not sure I like the way you said that,

836
00:49:39.519 --> 00:49:40.119
mister Mason.

837
00:49:40.760 --> 00:49:42.960
My tone was not meant to imply a personal indictment,

838
00:49:42.960 --> 00:49:44.400
as Franklin in facts accommodation.

839
00:49:45.960 --> 00:49:50.000
You play your part very well on this racket. Racket, racket.

840
00:49:50.480 --> 00:49:54.599
Oh, I always draw the most charming luncheon partners. It

841
00:49:54.760 --> 00:49:57.840
was undoubtedly something in your childhood. They made you wear

842
00:49:57.880 --> 00:49:59.840
buster brown collars of velveteen.

843
00:50:00.599 --> 00:50:01.559
I wore dungarees.

844
00:50:03.039 --> 00:50:05.760
No, it's just that I have the best prima vasia

845
00:50:05.800 --> 00:50:08.079
evidence anyone ever had that this is a travesty on

846
00:50:08.199 --> 00:50:09.719
good taste in artistic judgment.

847
00:50:10.199 --> 00:50:12.480
Before I moved to another table, mister Mason, I'd be

848
00:50:12.559 --> 00:50:15.360
utterly amused to hear one sentence telling me why you

849
00:50:15.480 --> 00:50:16.119
feel this way.

850
00:50:16.360 --> 00:50:17.559
I'd be happy to oblige.

851
00:50:18.679 --> 00:50:18.719
You.

852
00:50:18.800 --> 00:50:21.239
See, I was picked as one of the best dressed.

853
00:50:21.000 --> 00:50:24.960
Men, mister Mason, for the first time. I'm beginning to

854
00:50:25.000 --> 00:50:34.159
savor the sweetness of your judgment. Well, that was the

855
00:50:34.199 --> 00:50:37.840
way it began a little careless banter while we sized

856
00:50:37.840 --> 00:50:42.480
each other up, and something in our measurements had meaning because,

857
00:50:42.559 --> 00:50:47.000
despite speeches and cold chicken, Ala King and news photographers

858
00:50:47.039 --> 00:50:50.920
interfering with most of our conversation, we later found ourselves

859
00:50:50.960 --> 00:50:55.039
at the Start Club, analyzing everything from Picasso to paper hanging.

860
00:50:56.280 --> 00:50:58.239
Sometime in the evening, he said he had to catch

861
00:50:58.239 --> 00:51:01.440
a plane somewhere, but he'd get in touch with me soon.

862
00:51:02.719 --> 00:51:05.480
The next morning, when I walked into my office, Pete,

863
00:51:05.679 --> 00:51:08.960
my secretary, was wearing the smug smile of a girl

864
00:51:09.000 --> 00:51:11.079
who had caught her older sister with a boy on

865
00:51:11.159 --> 00:51:15.239
the back porch. Hammock seen it yet, boss? The gimbal ads,

866
00:51:15.280 --> 00:51:20.400
how were they? I can wait all right, seem what

867
00:51:20.840 --> 00:51:24.599
the picture of you and Roy Mason? Mason, I hardly

868
00:51:24.639 --> 00:51:27.039
spoke a word to the man. They told me to

869
00:51:27.119 --> 00:51:29.079
look at him as if he just found a cure

870
00:51:29.199 --> 00:51:32.199
for the common cold. Hardly a word of how'd you

871
00:51:32.280 --> 00:51:35.159
converse at the Star Club? Smoke signals with your cigarettes,

872
00:51:35.440 --> 00:51:37.840
pe d you're very close to being fired. Let me

873
00:51:37.920 --> 00:51:39.400
read what some of the columnists say.

874
00:51:40.400 --> 00:51:43.760
The most handsome tusome in town last night were Ruth Franklin,

875
00:51:43.880 --> 00:51:46.199
the best dressed huckster and Roy Mason.

876
00:51:46.280 --> 00:51:48.960
Pety, what do you know about him?

877
00:51:49.840 --> 00:51:52.159
I'll save you the embarrassment of asking me to get

878
00:51:52.159 --> 00:51:53.519
a file on him. I've already done it.

879
00:51:54.280 --> 00:51:55.079
Here you are, boss.

880
00:51:55.679 --> 00:51:59.599
The Life and Loves of Roy Mason, assembled by Pete Wright,

881
00:51:59.800 --> 00:52:00.679
girl Old Boswell.

882
00:52:01.119 --> 00:52:01.880
All right, tell it.

883
00:52:02.239 --> 00:52:05.760
He was a work correspondent, distinguished. He's written two books

884
00:52:05.800 --> 00:52:08.559
on world politics, The Long Road of Destruction in the

885
00:52:08.639 --> 00:52:09.800
Coming Asiatic War.

886
00:52:10.360 --> 00:52:12.480
I've ordered both of them so you can talk his language.

887
00:52:12.880 --> 00:52:15.320
He has a weekly car I'm in a weekly radio program,

888
00:52:15.760 --> 00:52:20.719
Yale thirty eight, unmarried. Just call me quick, thank you,

889
00:52:20.800 --> 00:52:23.400
and goodbye. I'll just leave these things here so you

890
00:52:23.480 --> 00:52:28.199
can drool over them. Have fun, pd, Yes, boss man,

891
00:52:29.000 --> 00:52:32.599
you've had your fun. Now, hands off. I'm going to

892
00:52:32.719 --> 00:52:33.199
marry him.

893
00:52:40.000 --> 00:52:43.159
I read those clippings through from beginning to end, and

894
00:52:43.239 --> 00:52:45.039
when I went home that night, I took both of

895
00:52:45.159 --> 00:52:48.159
Roy Mason's books with me, and the following night he

896
00:52:48.360 --> 00:52:52.159
called me. And then it was practically every evening and

897
00:52:52.360 --> 00:52:56.719
cocktails and weekends and meals and fireplaces and books and

898
00:52:57.000 --> 00:53:00.559
talk and talk. I knew, and I let the papers

899
00:53:00.679 --> 00:53:04.000
know that Ruth Franklin finally found a man. Who came

900
00:53:04.119 --> 00:53:07.960
up to her epic requirements. I had him hooked. Now

901
00:53:08.039 --> 00:53:13.320
it was time to real him in. Roy, I have

902
00:53:13.440 --> 00:53:15.119
some news I know you'll be interested in.

903
00:53:15.440 --> 00:53:16.599
You're going to run for president?

904
00:53:16.960 --> 00:53:19.840
Oh no, nothing as small as that. I'm going to

905
00:53:19.880 --> 00:53:20.440
get married.

906
00:53:22.199 --> 00:53:23.360
Are you going to get what.

907
00:53:24.840 --> 00:53:25.199
Married?

908
00:53:26.039 --> 00:53:26.159
Uh?

909
00:53:27.800 --> 00:53:34.079
Come a man named Roy Mason? I just decided, Ruth.

910
00:53:35.639 --> 00:53:39.920
I'm sorry, I can't. I'm already engaged.

911
00:53:41.199 --> 00:53:41.639
Who is it?

912
00:53:41.800 --> 00:53:42.000
Roy?

913
00:53:42.400 --> 00:53:46.519
A Long Island socialid Elizabeth Granger? You know him?

914
00:53:47.199 --> 00:53:48.840
No, and I don't believe i'd want to.

915
00:53:49.599 --> 00:53:51.679
Oh, Ruth, did you think we were going to be married?

916
00:53:52.000 --> 00:53:54.599
Of course I did, and so did every newspaper and

917
00:53:54.679 --> 00:53:55.559
columnist in town.

918
00:53:55.639 --> 00:53:57.480
I never pay any attention to the gossip columnists.

919
00:53:57.719 --> 00:53:58.559
A lot of people do.

920
00:53:58.840 --> 00:53:58.960
Oh.

921
00:53:59.440 --> 00:54:01.239
Now, don't make it like this. You must have known

922
00:54:01.280 --> 00:54:02.480
I had a light before I met you.

923
00:54:02.880 --> 00:54:04.840
I should have known a lot more, I guess than

924
00:54:04.880 --> 00:54:05.079
I do.

925
00:54:05.440 --> 00:54:05.719
Ruth.

926
00:54:05.960 --> 00:54:07.400
Don't lose your head over this.

927
00:54:07.719 --> 00:54:09.880
What do you expect me to do? Break down and

928
00:54:09.960 --> 00:54:13.440
beg you to change your mind and marry me. I'm sorry, Roy,

929
00:54:14.079 --> 00:54:16.360
I'll go home and read an old coward play and

930
00:54:16.519 --> 00:54:27.239
get over it. So that's the way it was. I'd

931
00:54:27.360 --> 00:54:29.679
saved myself for the one man who had what I

932
00:54:29.880 --> 00:54:34.199
had brains and guts and talent. And I suddenly found

933
00:54:34.239 --> 00:54:37.559
out I'd saved myself for what I couldn't have. I

934
00:54:37.679 --> 00:54:40.880
went home through his books in the fireplace and sat

935
00:54:40.960 --> 00:54:44.159
down to have a long look at me, and all

936
00:54:44.280 --> 00:54:48.360
I found was a big, ugly hurt. Then it was

937
00:54:48.480 --> 00:54:52.800
light and time to go to the office. Pete, what

938
00:54:52.880 --> 00:54:54.519
are you doing at my desk? Oh?

939
00:54:54.719 --> 00:54:54.960
Boss?

940
00:54:55.880 --> 00:54:58.760
I really didn't think you'd be in today, considering everything.

941
00:54:59.000 --> 00:54:59.880
Why shouldn't I be in?

942
00:55:00.719 --> 00:55:02.960
One of the best dressed women in America doesn't find

943
00:55:02.960 --> 00:55:05.360
out that her boyfriend is a wolf in best dressed

944
00:55:05.400 --> 00:55:06.280
clothes every day.

945
00:55:06.559 --> 00:55:08.239
That's enough, Pete, to get out of here and get

946
00:55:08.280 --> 00:55:11.079
to work, all right, Boss, But it's happened to all

947
00:55:11.159 --> 00:55:13.360
of us one time or another. You should have practiced

948
00:55:13.360 --> 00:55:14.880
when you were young. Then you'd know more about what

949
00:55:15.000 --> 00:55:17.760
happened to you. Listen, you brainless little typist. Get out

950
00:55:17.760 --> 00:55:19.039
of here, Go on, get out.

951
00:55:19.920 --> 00:55:24.320
Okay, I'm going, But I know a good psychiatrist. He

952
00:55:24.400 --> 00:55:26.679
has a couch just made for people like you.

953
00:55:29.840 --> 00:55:40.199
You know I could quit too. The whole office knew

954
00:55:40.199 --> 00:55:43.320
about it. It pleased their tight little minds that I'd

955
00:55:43.360 --> 00:55:47.800
been caught off guard. Most everyone, including our three vice presidents,

956
00:55:47.920 --> 00:55:50.039
found some sort of excuse to come in and see

957
00:55:50.079 --> 00:55:53.840
the woman who'd been taken in love. They were disappointed

958
00:55:53.880 --> 00:55:56.079
when they didn't find me planning a sudden trip to

959
00:55:56.159 --> 00:56:00.760
London or enrolling in Helena Rubinstein's charm school. But the

960
00:56:00.840 --> 00:56:05.920
lower echelon was even worse, especially the stenographers. They handed

961
00:56:05.960 --> 00:56:09.639
me those grief sharing eyes usually reserved for sixteen year

962
00:56:09.679 --> 00:56:12.199
old girls who've been jilted by the high school full back.

963
00:56:13.440 --> 00:56:16.159
But by five o'clock I swallowed two aspirin and my

964
00:56:16.320 --> 00:56:21.880
pride and called Roy, you.

965
00:56:21.960 --> 00:56:26.039
Had three cigarettes and two martinis? Any conversation coming up?

966
00:56:27.960 --> 00:56:28.320
What is it?

967
00:56:28.400 --> 00:56:33.039
Gross newsprint? For one thing, those nasty little black tracks

968
00:56:33.079 --> 00:56:35.880
on those clean sheets of white paper. They came right

969
00:56:35.920 --> 00:56:38.400
out and said you jilted me, the same way they

970
00:56:38.440 --> 00:56:40.599
came out and said we were a torrid twosome.

971
00:56:40.840 --> 00:56:44.400
Oh yeah, it's my fault. How fun tomorrow? Un tell

972
00:56:44.440 --> 00:56:45.239
them how wrong they've been.

973
00:56:45.440 --> 00:56:46.079
You will not.

974
00:56:46.599 --> 00:56:49.480
Did it only make me look a bigger fool. Besides

975
00:56:49.559 --> 00:56:53.400
they aren't the only ones. Oh, for heaven's sake. To ROI,

976
00:56:53.440 --> 00:56:55.719
I asked that strange looking little man to fill my

977
00:56:55.800 --> 00:56:58.840
glass at tempty. Sure, waiter, I haven't seen one person

978
00:56:58.880 --> 00:57:01.239
today who isn't in high glee over the whole thing.

979
00:57:02.320 --> 00:57:04.840
And incidentally, you look a little too smug to suit

980
00:57:04.920 --> 00:57:05.639
my taste.

981
00:57:05.440 --> 00:57:07.920
Right now, if we don't, don't do this to yourself.

982
00:57:08.000 --> 00:57:08.840
You're too good a guy.

983
00:57:09.079 --> 00:57:11.519
It's easy for you to say, I wish I were

984
00:57:11.559 --> 00:57:14.440
in your position and you were in mine. Oh, don't

985
00:57:14.519 --> 00:57:15.599
you look at me that way.

986
00:57:15.840 --> 00:57:20.000
I'm I'm truly sorry. It's embursed. You're distressed now, but

987
00:57:20.119 --> 00:57:20.639
it'll pass.

988
00:57:20.800 --> 00:57:23.119
Can you marry someone like her? You'll be bored to

989
00:57:23.159 --> 00:57:23.960
death in six weeks.

990
00:57:24.079 --> 00:57:25.119
Let's not talk about it.

991
00:57:25.199 --> 00:57:27.400
What she ever done to deserve you? Gone to a

992
00:57:27.480 --> 00:57:30.559
few parties, made a trip to Europe every year, learned

993
00:57:30.559 --> 00:57:34.079
how to play six hand canasta? Or maybe it's her figure,

994
00:57:34.360 --> 00:57:37.440
y ruth. If it's her figure, remember somebody pounds it

995
00:57:37.519 --> 00:57:40.360
back into shape every morning after those big nights. And

996
00:57:40.440 --> 00:57:42.880
if it weren't for several dozen foundation guards.

997
00:57:42.679 --> 00:57:43.559
Let's stop at roths.

998
00:57:43.679 --> 00:57:46.239
You made a fool out of me for some grown

999
00:57:46.320 --> 00:57:49.840
up child who probably never did anything for herself. Servants

1000
00:57:49.880 --> 00:57:50.639
paid to live for.

1001
00:57:50.920 --> 00:57:52.960
Please, you're raising your voice people are looking.

1002
00:57:53.239 --> 00:57:55.880
Let them look. A scene in a cocktail lounge makes

1003
00:57:55.920 --> 00:57:58.159
good reading. And we always make the papers.

1004
00:57:58.239 --> 00:57:59.880
Don't voice? Will you keep your voice?

1005
00:58:01.119 --> 00:58:03.719
Why don't you go back to Asia someplace and write

1006
00:58:03.760 --> 00:58:06.400
another book? I hope I never see you again.

1007
00:58:06.599 --> 00:58:06.800
Ruth.

1008
00:58:15.800 --> 00:58:20.239
Roy looked foolish shouting after me. I looked even more foolish,

1009
00:58:20.360 --> 00:58:23.880
trying to make a dignified exit through the tears. Oh,

1010
00:58:24.079 --> 00:58:26.679
leave it to me. I did a good job. I

1011
00:58:26.800 --> 00:58:29.360
went off stage like a second lead in a little

1012
00:58:29.400 --> 00:58:33.039
theater production. The next day, I didn't go to the office.

1013
00:58:33.679 --> 00:58:37.960
I felt weak and weary and sick all over, and

1014
00:58:38.079 --> 00:58:40.719
I didn't answer the phone until three in the afternoon.

1015
00:58:42.320 --> 00:58:47.119
Hello me, Oh, trying to get you all day?

1016
00:58:47.880 --> 00:58:50.679
What for to tell you that we're friends?

1017
00:58:50.760 --> 00:58:51.039
You and I.

1018
00:58:52.599 --> 00:58:54.000
I ain't like the levil to think that you really

1019
00:58:54.079 --> 00:58:55.400
meant it when you said you never wanted to see

1020
00:58:55.440 --> 00:59:00.039
me again. I sent you a letter last night. I

1021
00:59:00.039 --> 00:59:01.199
got to tell you what I said in person.

1022
00:59:01.480 --> 00:59:03.280
Now, look, I'll let me go on you.

1023
00:59:04.920 --> 00:59:07.159
A man rarely meets a woman like you. I was lucky,

1024
00:59:08.119 --> 00:59:11.880
real lucky, Ruth. You can send me away all together

1025
00:59:11.960 --> 00:59:13.320
if you want to, But I'd miss you for the

1026
00:59:13.360 --> 00:59:14.760
rest of my life, and that's the truth.

1027
00:59:15.199 --> 00:59:16.960
But you're going to marry her, Ruth.

1028
00:59:17.039 --> 00:59:19.920
I want to talk with you, calmly, decently, honestly. I

1029
00:59:20.039 --> 00:59:25.039
want you for a friend. Mixing a couple of drinks

1030
00:59:25.079 --> 00:59:28.719
in my apartment around five tonight, I hope you'll be there.

1031
00:59:38.960 --> 00:59:41.400
All of a sudden, I saw a way out of everything,

1032
00:59:42.320 --> 00:59:45.000
and I spent the next two hours getting ready for roy.

1033
00:59:46.159 --> 00:59:48.920
I remember I was wearing a new black crape sheet

1034
00:59:49.079 --> 00:59:52.840
by there, and my pastel mink. It was a cold night,

1035
00:59:53.039 --> 00:59:56.400
but the air made me feel good, better than I've

1036
00:59:56.440 --> 00:59:59.159
ever felt. I was politely late.

1037
01:00:04.000 --> 01:00:04.400
You came.

1038
01:00:05.639 --> 01:00:06.360
Let me take your coat.

1039
01:00:06.440 --> 01:00:08.519
Huh, it's a little chili. I think I'll keep it

1040
01:00:08.599 --> 01:00:16.559
on Martini Manhattan Music. I think now a Martini.

1041
01:00:17.360 --> 01:00:20.119
Already had them fixed. I knew you wouldn't pass up

1042
01:00:20.119 --> 01:00:20.920
a Mason special.

1043
01:00:22.320 --> 01:00:25.119
You were rather certain in your pretty speech on the phone,

1044
01:00:25.360 --> 01:00:25.719
weren't you.

1045
01:00:26.360 --> 01:00:29.760
I met it, and I am glad you're here, Ruth,

1046
01:00:29.800 --> 01:00:32.000
all of that highly lacquered veneer. You're sure your public

1047
01:00:32.079 --> 01:00:33.840
is all right for them, but it's for me. I'll

1048
01:00:33.840 --> 01:00:34.320
take you away.

1049
01:00:34.360 --> 01:00:34.679
I know you.

1050
01:00:35.079 --> 01:00:36.960
Oh tell me more.

1051
01:00:38.079 --> 01:00:41.719
Underneath forty thousand dollars a year and being the best dressed.

1052
01:00:42.280 --> 01:00:44.360
You're quite a galon one.

1053
01:00:44.480 --> 01:00:47.800
Luck told me that this amounts to a hats off conversation.

1054
01:00:48.159 --> 01:00:48.400
Ruth.

1055
01:00:48.440 --> 01:00:50.079
We're ready to talk to you and I let's do it.

1056
01:00:50.199 --> 01:00:50.360
Huh.

1057
01:00:51.920 --> 01:00:53.760
For the first time since we met. I know all

1058
01:00:53.760 --> 01:00:55.599
about you, I know what makes you work, and I

1059
01:00:55.719 --> 01:00:56.119
don't like.

1060
01:00:56.199 --> 01:00:56.760
That one bit.

1061
01:00:56.920 --> 01:00:57.079
Roy.

1062
01:00:57.360 --> 01:00:59.079
I don't like being ripped open for the.

1063
01:00:59.079 --> 01:01:03.199
Public to watch it and understand. Touch me, Ruth.

1064
01:01:04.000 --> 01:01:05.360
Yes, it's a gun, right.

1065
01:01:05.400 --> 01:01:11.239
If I haven't sake, will stop this. He got a

1066
01:01:11.280 --> 01:01:17.239
little wrong. Put down that gun, Get a doctor him,

1067
01:01:18.679 --> 01:01:19.599
We'll say it was an accident.

1068
01:01:19.679 --> 01:01:20.519
Stay away from me.

1069
01:01:23.159 --> 01:01:28.000
No, No, it wasn't supposed to be this weight off, Ruth,

1070
01:01:33.519 --> 01:01:35.039
I wrote you.

1071
01:01:40.360 --> 01:01:43.960
I stood there looking down at him. He tried to

1072
01:01:44.239 --> 01:01:48.119
talk again, but he couldn't say a word, and then

1073
01:01:48.679 --> 01:01:50.880
all of a sudden he was dead.

1074
01:02:02.360 --> 01:02:04.400
At the light is bringing you, Miss e v Arden

1075
01:02:04.519 --> 01:02:08.679
in the well Dressed Corpse Lights production in Radio's outstanding

1076
01:02:08.840 --> 01:02:11.559
theater of thrills sauspends.

1077
01:02:21.079 --> 01:02:22.719
Check your spark plugs, mister Wilcox.

1078
01:02:22.840 --> 01:02:25.599
You sure can, Sam, because it pays to have spark

1079
01:02:25.679 --> 01:02:27.360
plugs checked and cleaned regularly.

1080
01:02:27.719 --> 01:02:29.159
Helps keep a car running right.

1081
01:02:29.280 --> 01:02:31.960
Sure does, mister Wilcox, And it only takes a couple

1082
01:02:31.960 --> 01:02:34.639
of minutes for an auto light spark plug dealer like myself.

1083
01:02:34.800 --> 01:02:37.280
Why when worn out spark plugs are replaced with new

1084
01:02:37.360 --> 01:02:40.239
Ignition engineered auto light spark plugs, you will get away

1085
01:02:40.280 --> 01:02:42.639
in a flash for a ride that's smoother than a

1086
01:02:42.760 --> 01:02:46.519
jigglow's line because you'll get smoother performance, quick starts and

1087
01:02:46.639 --> 01:02:47.400
gas savings.

1088
01:02:47.480 --> 01:02:48.199
He's off again.

1089
01:02:48.360 --> 01:02:51.599
Ignition engineered auto lights spark plugs, you know, are installed

1090
01:02:51.719 --> 01:02:54.719
right on the assembly line as original factory equipment on

1091
01:02:54.920 --> 01:02:57.800
millions of leading makes of our finest cars and trucks.

1092
01:02:58.320 --> 01:03:01.480
Money just can't buy better spark plugs for your car

1093
01:03:01.880 --> 01:03:02.639
than Autolite.

1094
01:03:02.719 --> 01:03:04.079
You're right, mister Wilcox.

1095
01:03:04.199 --> 01:03:07.400
So friends see your neighborhood Autolite spark plug dealer soon

1096
01:03:07.760 --> 01:03:10.320
and have him replace worn out spark plugs with world

1097
01:03:10.440 --> 01:03:14.679
famous Ignition engineered Autolite spark plugs. And whether you choose

1098
01:03:14.719 --> 01:03:17.519
the resistor type or the standard type, you can be

1099
01:03:17.639 --> 01:03:22.519
sure you're right, because you're always right with Autolite. And

1100
01:03:22.679 --> 01:03:26.159
now Autolite brings back to our Hollywood sound stage, Miss

1101
01:03:26.280 --> 01:03:30.840
Eve Arden in Elliott Lewis's production of The Well Dressed Corpse,

1102
01:03:31.519 --> 01:03:35.360
a tale well calculated to keep you in suspend.

1103
01:03:46.440 --> 01:03:49.000
It hadn't occurred to me exactly what I was going

1104
01:03:49.079 --> 01:03:53.320
to do after I had killed Roy Mason. I remember, though,

1105
01:03:53.519 --> 01:03:57.480
I finished my Martini, wiped up the spill drink, and

1106
01:03:57.559 --> 01:04:00.920
then just sat and looked at Roy lying there on

1107
01:04:01.000 --> 01:04:01.400
the floor.

1108
01:04:01.760 --> 01:04:02.000
Hello.

1109
01:04:03.760 --> 01:04:05.880
And then I was aware of someone pounding.

1110
01:04:05.920 --> 01:04:09.519
Hello there, What happened? Hello?

1111
01:04:10.480 --> 01:04:10.880
Answer me?

1112
01:04:11.000 --> 01:04:11.360
Somebody?

1113
01:04:12.239 --> 01:04:12.480
Hello?

1114
01:04:12.880 --> 01:04:13.079
Hello?

1115
01:04:13.400 --> 01:04:17.400
Is everything all right in there? Oh? Hello, missa. I

1116
01:04:17.519 --> 01:04:18.599
live in the apartment next door.

1117
01:04:19.239 --> 01:04:20.800
I heard gunshots in here?

1118
01:04:21.239 --> 01:04:22.719
You did what?

1119
01:04:23.719 --> 01:04:24.360
I'll be there?

1120
01:04:26.360 --> 01:04:26.519
Oh?

1121
01:04:27.880 --> 01:04:30.599
Oh, well, I've been phone the police.

1122
01:04:31.039 --> 01:04:33.079
Is there a phone on the desk?

1123
01:04:36.199 --> 01:04:39.440
But hello, I'll have an operator.

1124
01:04:39.960 --> 01:04:40.840
I give me the police.

1125
01:04:41.480 --> 01:04:42.119
Yes, I said the.

1126
01:04:42.119 --> 01:04:43.639
Police right away.

1127
01:04:43.639 --> 01:04:44.400
There's gonna shoot.

1128
01:04:52.000 --> 01:04:55.480
No one lifted a hand to stop me. Downstairs, I

1129
01:04:55.559 --> 01:04:58.880
got a taxi back to my own apartment, changed threw

1130
01:04:59.000 --> 01:05:01.920
some things into a bag, gathered up my jewelry and

1131
01:05:02.000 --> 01:05:04.760
what money I had. I took my car out of

1132
01:05:04.800 --> 01:05:07.320
the garage and drove to the station and caught a

1133
01:05:07.400 --> 01:05:11.360
train as far as Greenwich. There I registered under another

1134
01:05:11.519 --> 01:05:14.360
name at a small hotel. I was going to go

1135
01:05:14.480 --> 01:05:17.159
on up to Canada the next day, but there was

1136
01:05:17.199 --> 01:05:19.800
something I just had to see before I left the country,

1137
01:05:20.559 --> 01:05:33.199
So instead I caught a train back to New York. Sergeant, Colinside, Sergeant,

1138
01:05:33.239 --> 01:05:34.960
I wonder if you could give me some information.

1139
01:05:35.719 --> 01:05:36.199
I'll try.

1140
01:05:36.840 --> 01:05:39.400
I'm from the Kansas City Star. I happened to be

1141
01:05:39.480 --> 01:05:41.719
on vacation in New York. But as long as I'm here,

1142
01:05:41.760 --> 01:05:43.559
I'm trying to cover the Mason case.

1143
01:05:43.760 --> 01:05:43.960
Yeah.

1144
01:05:44.400 --> 01:05:48.199
Well, has mister Mason been buried yet? Or do you?

1145
01:05:48.440 --> 01:05:52.159
Edge Flower Mortuary Rosary tonight, very old tomorrow.

1146
01:05:52.679 --> 01:06:00.119
Thank you, sergeant. I was at the edge Flower or

1147
01:06:00.239 --> 01:06:04.800
early waiting across the street. It was cold and blustery,

1148
01:06:05.519 --> 01:06:08.639
but I wanted to see her walk in. I wanted

1149
01:06:08.679 --> 01:06:12.199
to see how well she could take it. But Elizabeth

1150
01:06:12.239 --> 01:06:16.599
Granger didn't appear at his rosary. The next morning, I

1151
01:06:16.679 --> 01:06:20.559
wore dark glasses and a veil. I went to his funeral,

1152
01:06:21.519 --> 01:06:34.239
but she didn't. Hello, Pet, I've been waiting for.

1153
01:06:34.320 --> 01:06:35.079
You, boss.

1154
01:06:36.480 --> 01:06:38.400
Don't you know the police are looking all over town

1155
01:06:38.519 --> 01:06:42.159
for you. Pet. Who is Elizabeth Granger? Where does she live?

1156
01:06:43.280 --> 01:06:43.480
Oh?

1157
01:06:43.960 --> 01:06:46.400
That she isn't in the phone book. She wasn't at

1158
01:06:46.440 --> 01:06:48.639
his funeral. There are no pictures of her in the papers.

1159
01:06:49.239 --> 01:06:53.920
You know these things. Tell me, please, I can't help you.

1160
01:06:54.960 --> 01:06:56.000
Nobody can help you.

1161
01:06:56.159 --> 01:06:56.280
Now.

1162
01:06:57.280 --> 01:07:00.039
You're a walking dead woman. Pete, listen to me. I

1163
01:07:00.079 --> 01:07:02.519
don't want to listen to you. I'm afraid to I'm

1164
01:07:02.519 --> 01:07:03.440
afraid I'll end up.

1165
01:07:03.440 --> 01:07:07.760
Like you someday, well fed, well dressed, successful, well known,

1166
01:07:08.159 --> 01:07:08.719
but dead.

1167
01:07:09.280 --> 01:07:11.639
I came here for help, not to listen to your repeat.

1168
01:07:11.719 --> 01:07:13.480
Everything you ever said in your life was a lie.

1169
01:07:13.880 --> 01:07:16.760
I did your legwork, looked up things for you, verified them,

1170
01:07:16.880 --> 01:07:19.719
checked them well. I checked about you, just to satisfy

1171
01:07:19.800 --> 01:07:22.840
my curiosity. You didn't go to Stanford or graduate school

1172
01:07:22.840 --> 01:07:25.719
at Columbia. You were born and brought up in Hell's kitchen.

1173
01:07:26.000 --> 01:07:28.800
You went as far as PS four thirty two. You

1174
01:07:28.960 --> 01:07:31.000
hated everything you had and were, and you tried to

1175
01:07:31.039 --> 01:07:31.599
wipe it out.

1176
01:07:31.840 --> 01:07:34.480
Peter, you must know tell me about Elizabeth Granger.

1177
01:07:35.519 --> 01:07:38.800
I'll tell you this much. You're not gonna have the

1178
01:07:38.880 --> 01:07:42.840
pleasure of watching her suffer along with you. You know why,

1179
01:07:44.280 --> 01:07:47.599
because Roy Mason wrote you a letter that came this morning.

1180
01:07:48.199 --> 01:07:50.599
I read it because I never thought i'd see you again.

1181
01:07:52.280 --> 01:07:53.280
Do you want to know what's in it?

1182
01:07:54.079 --> 01:07:54.280
Yes?

1183
01:07:54.800 --> 01:07:55.159
Please?

1184
01:07:56.400 --> 01:07:58.760
It makes you look ten times as foolish as you

1185
01:07:58.840 --> 01:08:03.000
do even now. He said that there was no such

1186
01:08:03.119 --> 01:08:08.199
person as Elizabeth Granger. You're lying. He just invented her,

1187
01:08:09.079 --> 01:08:11.800
just invented her to get away from you. You're lying.

1188
01:08:11.920 --> 01:08:15.199
There has to be an Elizabeth Granger. Here's a letter,

1189
01:08:15.400 --> 01:08:25.600
look for yourself. It was true, every word of it.

1190
01:08:26.520 --> 01:08:30.800
There was no Elizabeth Granger. Roy just didn't want me

1191
01:08:31.159 --> 01:08:35.600
and had to find some excuse. I walked to the door,

1192
01:08:36.239 --> 01:08:38.439
wondering what to do, where to go?

1193
01:08:39.119 --> 01:08:43.920
One more thing, Boss, ten seconds after you're out that door,

1194
01:08:44.359 --> 01:08:46.880
I'm going to call the police here.

1195
01:08:50.359 --> 01:08:52.960
I didn't answer or look back. I just ran out

1196
01:08:53.000 --> 01:08:55.600
of the apartment house and found a cab and had

1197
01:08:55.680 --> 01:08:59.000
him drive me around and around, through streets and down

1198
01:08:59.079 --> 01:09:03.039
streets and across streets. I scarcely even saw a policeman

1199
01:09:03.239 --> 01:09:07.680
or people. Finally, I left the cab and began walking around,

1200
01:09:08.520 --> 01:09:13.880
trying to understand myself and why I'd killed Roy, and

1201
01:09:14.079 --> 01:09:17.720
everything that came out of my mind revolted me. I

1202
01:09:17.840 --> 01:09:20.680
wanted to drink a dozen drinks, a hundred drinks.

1203
01:09:21.159 --> 01:09:23.760
You sure you're in the right place, lady, Just give.

1204
01:09:23.640 --> 01:09:26.479
Me a double Bourbon Scotch. Triple. I don't care.

1205
01:09:27.319 --> 01:09:28.319
Well, you're old enough.

1206
01:09:28.760 --> 01:09:29.960
Hurry it up. Here's my money.

1207
01:09:32.000 --> 01:09:34.079
Hey, Eddie, get a load of the doll.

1208
01:09:35.239 --> 01:09:37.279
Haven't got any dame dressed like that from in the

1209
01:09:38.199 --> 01:09:38.800
place like this?

1210
01:09:39.399 --> 01:09:39.840
Slumming?

1211
01:09:40.159 --> 01:09:41.159
What are you stupid?

1212
01:09:41.199 --> 01:09:41.640
As something?

1213
01:09:42.119 --> 01:09:44.319
I like to content where life is rough, where men

1214
01:09:44.399 --> 01:09:46.800
and men I've seen lots of in my day looking

1215
01:09:46.840 --> 01:09:51.000
for thrills. Yeah, yeah, what do you think she came

1216
01:09:51.039 --> 01:09:53.039
in here for? I thought it was the White House

1217
01:09:53.079 --> 01:09:55.000
and something talk talk talk, talk talk.

1218
01:09:55.479 --> 01:09:56.439
So you had a handle a.

1219
01:09:56.560 --> 01:09:57.239
Doll like that.

1220
01:10:00.800 --> 01:10:02.039
By your drink, ma'am?

1221
01:10:02.640 --> 01:10:05.079
Hmmm, no, get away from me.

1222
01:10:05.239 --> 01:10:08.880
Oh no, you don't really mean ned, Tony. The drink's

1223
01:10:08.920 --> 01:10:09.159
on me.

1224
01:10:10.760 --> 01:10:12.520
Why don't we have it in the booth over here?

1225
01:10:13.039 --> 01:10:13.800
We can talk?

1226
01:10:14.319 --> 01:10:16.399
Get away from me? Who do you think you are?

1227
01:10:16.560 --> 01:10:16.960
All right?

1228
01:10:17.119 --> 01:10:17.439
Eddie? No?

1229
01:10:17.640 --> 01:10:19.600
So what does she think she is? Anyway?

1230
01:10:19.680 --> 01:10:21.239
She's got no right in here unless she wants to

1231
01:10:21.319 --> 01:10:24.000
be sociable. She's a bombing you know it, Tony, Eddie,

1232
01:10:24.039 --> 01:10:25.399
can't you see this as a lady and I go

1233
01:10:25.520 --> 01:10:26.000
for a walk?

1234
01:10:26.319 --> 01:10:26.600
Lady?

1235
01:10:27.039 --> 01:10:28.760
Since when do we have ladies in here?

1236
01:10:28.960 --> 01:10:30.319
Give me the drink bartender?

1237
01:10:30.640 --> 01:10:35.279
Hey, wait a minute, but she was in the paper

1238
01:10:35.319 --> 01:10:35.720
this morning.

1239
01:10:35.800 --> 01:10:44.279
She kills somebud. I ran out of there. It was

1240
01:10:44.319 --> 01:10:46.640
only a matter of seconds until they called the police.

1241
01:10:46.680 --> 01:10:47.600
So I just ran.

1242
01:10:48.560 --> 01:10:50.880
I saw a police car and I ran the other way.

1243
01:10:51.760 --> 01:10:54.479
Two blocks away. There was another police car at the intersection.

1244
01:10:55.199 --> 01:10:59.000
I found an alley and ran down and fell over

1245
01:10:59.159 --> 01:11:04.800
sharbage can into the dirty, foul snow. I couldn't get up,

1246
01:11:05.439 --> 01:11:07.560
and I cried cold tears.

1247
01:11:10.000 --> 01:11:12.479
Come on, dearie, come on, what are you doing?

1248
01:11:12.760 --> 01:11:16.760
You'll need this cult where you So that's all right, dearie,

1249
01:11:16.800 --> 01:11:17.319
that's all right.

1250
01:11:17.840 --> 01:11:21.079
Come on the dress now, Ruby, help me get it

1251
01:11:21.119 --> 01:11:22.319
off your b.

1252
01:11:23.479 --> 01:11:25.239
I can hear that sense of dressed like that, and

1253
01:11:25.359 --> 01:11:27.840
you can't wear it in jail. I'll tear it off

1254
01:11:27.840 --> 01:11:28.279
your flat.

1255
01:11:38.399 --> 01:11:41.760
Okay, you let them do it?

1256
01:11:42.199 --> 01:11:44.079
Why did you let them do We'll get them.

1257
01:11:44.880 --> 01:11:47.600
Come on, I got a see.

1258
01:11:48.239 --> 01:11:52.039
Don't hurt me, please, I'm somebody.

1259
01:11:54.640 --> 01:11:59.479
Yeah, that's what I thought, Frank, I'm so buddy.

1260
01:12:24.640 --> 01:12:29.760
Suspense presented by Auto Light Light Star Miss E Varden.

1261
01:12:31.199 --> 01:12:33.960
Hey, Sam, d dust my windshield?

1262
01:12:34.000 --> 01:12:34.239
Will you?

1263
01:12:34.359 --> 01:12:35.760
I can write my name on it?

1264
01:12:36.000 --> 01:12:39.000
You can write to mister Wilcox. Can I write why

1265
01:12:39.119 --> 01:12:42.560
I blister? Blackboards? Writing about the over four hundred products

1266
01:12:42.600 --> 01:12:45.720
made by auto Light for cars, trucks, planes, and boats

1267
01:12:45.760 --> 01:12:49.039
in twenty eight plants from coast to coast. These include

1268
01:12:49.079 --> 01:12:52.840
complete ignition systems used as original factory equipment on many

1269
01:12:52.960 --> 01:12:57.880
leading makes of America's finest cars, generators, coils distributors, electric

1270
01:12:57.920 --> 01:13:02.800
windshield wipers, voltage regulators, wire and cable starting motors, all

1271
01:13:02.880 --> 01:13:06.720
engineered to fit together perfectly, work together perfectly because they're

1272
01:13:06.840 --> 01:13:11.039
part of the Autolite team. So friends don't accept electrical

1273
01:13:11.119 --> 01:13:14.520
parts supposed to be as good, ask for and insist

1274
01:13:14.680 --> 01:13:19.119
on original factory parts at your neighborhood service station, car dealer, garage,

1275
01:13:19.239 --> 01:13:23.319
or repair shop. And because all Autolite parts are original

1276
01:13:23.399 --> 01:13:27.119
factory parts, you can be sure you're always right with

1277

mister Etzio Pinza in Aria from Murder. In the weeks

01:13:38.760 --> 01:13:42.520
to follow, we will present such famous stars as Paul Douglass, then,

1281
01:13:42.600 --> 01:13:46.079
in one of his infrequent radio appearances, Fred McMurray, to

1282
01:13:46.199 --> 01:13:49.159
be followed by the first Lady of Suspense, missus Acnes

Suspense is produced and directed by Elliot Lewis. Music composed

1285

by Lucian more Awake and conducted by lud Bluskin. The

1286
01:14:04.279 --> 01:14:07.159
Well Dressed Corpse was written for suspense by E. Jack

1287
01:14:07.279 --> 01:14:10.960
Newman and John Michael Hayes. Steve Varden appeared through the

1288
01:14:11.039 --> 01:14:14.600
curtesy of the Colgate Palmelli Fleet Company, sponsors of our

1289
01:14:14.680 --> 01:14:18.079
Miss Brooks. This is CBS, the Columbia Broadcasting System.

1290
01:14:30.319 --> 01:14:34.880
Oh, please have a little more. It is so chilly

1291
01:14:35.800 --> 01:14:38.840
as we go deeper into the night. I'd hate for

1292
01:14:38.920 --> 01:14:42.720
you to catch cold. Or what's that?

1293
01:14:42.920 --> 01:14:43.199
What's that?

1294
01:14:43.880 --> 01:14:48.640
Well, well perhaps perhaps, yes, we'll see, we'll see. I

1295
01:14:49.760 --> 01:14:51.600
stand by that, we'll see see.

1296
01:14:52.359 --> 01:14:53.600
But for now, just.

1297
01:14:53.800 --> 01:14:59.760
Enjoy the moment. Just enjoy the dark, the fire burning

1298
01:15:00.000 --> 01:15:05.159
by our feet, the warmth fighting the cold to chill.

1299
01:15:06.640 --> 01:15:12.760
A battle I don't know will ever end, almost like

1300
01:15:12.880 --> 01:15:18.800
a song that never ends, a song of hope and dread,

1301
01:15:19.640 --> 01:15:21.479
almost murder.

1302
01:15:22.319 --> 01:15:46.880
In jazz time, Mutual presents the mysterious Traveler.

1303
01:15:53.760 --> 01:15:57.119
This is the mysterious traveler, inviting you to join me

1304
01:15:57.640 --> 01:16:00.079
on another journey into the realm of the strange and

1305
01:16:00.159 --> 01:16:04.039
the terrifying. I hope you will enjoy the trip, and

1306
01:16:04.199 --> 01:16:06.960
it will frie you a little and chill you a little.

1307
01:16:07.680 --> 01:16:10.399
So settle back, get a good rip on your nerves,

1308
01:16:10.479 --> 01:16:13.800
and be comfortable if you can, as you hear the

1309
01:16:13.880 --> 01:16:29.760
story I call murder in Jazz Time. Tonight, we're going

1310
01:16:29.800 --> 01:16:32.640
to delve into the strange and confusing events in the

1311
01:16:32.720 --> 01:16:36.399
life of Alexander Drake. But what person can tell you

1312
01:16:36.640 --> 01:16:41.279
these events better than alex Drake himself. As our story begins,

1313
01:16:42.119 --> 01:16:45.680
Drake is seated at the small table, staring at several

1314
01:16:45.920 --> 01:16:50.800
blank sheets of writing paper. Slowly, he picks up a pen, hesitates,

1315
01:16:51.920 --> 01:16:53.159
and starts to write.

1316
01:16:54.840 --> 01:16:59.079
I scarcely know at what point to begin telling of

1317
01:16:59.159 --> 01:17:01.319
the things that have happened to me these past months.

1318
01:17:02.560 --> 01:17:06.359
I suppose I should begin with Vicky. Vicky, whom I

1319
01:17:06.439 --> 01:17:10.199
have loved ever since we were children. If my love

1320
01:17:10.399 --> 01:17:15.239
was never returned by her, I was contented to wait, ever,

1321
01:17:15.359 --> 01:17:20.439
hopeful that someday she would reciprocate my feelings. We saw

1322
01:17:20.479 --> 01:17:23.279
a great deal of each other after she graduated college,

1323
01:17:24.279 --> 01:17:26.640
and I watched with interest as she embarked upon a

1324
01:17:26.720 --> 01:17:31.920
singing career. Success came to Vicky quickly and smoothly, as

1325
01:17:32.000 --> 01:17:35.960
all things did. She sang with several named bands and

1326
01:17:36.079 --> 01:17:37.840
then became a star attraction.

1327
01:17:37.840 --> 01:17:39.119
At the swankier nightclubs.

1328
01:17:41.439 --> 01:17:44.840
Several years passed, and then one night, as I had

1329
01:17:44.880 --> 01:17:48.159
always dreamed of it happening, Vicky agreed to marry me.

1330
01:17:49.239 --> 01:17:52.439
That was the happiest moment of my life. A week

1331
01:17:52.560 --> 01:17:54.960
later we were married and driving to New Orleans on

1332
01:17:55.000 --> 01:17:55.600
our honeymoon.

1333
01:17:57.439 --> 01:17:58.079
Happy darling.

1334
01:17:58.439 --> 01:18:00.479
Oh yes, Alex, Yes, no.

1335
01:18:00.600 --> 01:18:03.479
Regrets about giving up your career, none at all. Oh,

1336
01:18:03.600 --> 01:18:05.920
it's good of you to say that, Vickie. I'll try

1337
01:18:05.960 --> 01:18:06.560
to make it up to you.

1338
01:18:06.880 --> 01:18:10.319
No, really, Alex, giving up my career is in any sacrifice.

1339
01:18:10.359 --> 01:18:13.399
For a long time now, I've known that I wasn't

1340
01:18:13.600 --> 01:18:14.520
very good, not.

1341
01:18:14.760 --> 01:18:17.119
Very good while you were getting one thousand dollars a

1342
01:18:17.199 --> 01:18:18.279
week at the Casa Blanca.

1343
01:18:18.720 --> 01:18:20.439
And look at the way your recordings are selling.

1344
01:18:20.560 --> 01:18:22.840
Oh, let's face it, Alex. I have a nice voice,

1345
01:18:23.039 --> 01:18:26.520
I'm fairly attractive, and thanks to find publicity, I've come

1346
01:18:26.560 --> 01:18:30.199
a long way. But I'm not really a very good singer.

1347
01:18:30.359 --> 01:18:32.920
Oh nonsense. I think you're a wonderful singer.

1348
01:18:33.439 --> 01:18:36.399
That's because you're in love with me, Darling, but I

1349
01:18:36.560 --> 01:18:41.119
know better. Take for example, that recording of Easy Living

1350
01:18:41.199 --> 01:18:41.640
that I made.

1351
01:18:41.760 --> 01:18:44.359
That was one of the best things you ever did. Yes, Alex,

1352
01:18:44.439 --> 01:18:44.760
it was.

1353
01:18:45.560 --> 01:18:47.840
But have you ever heard the recording that Billie Holiday

1354
01:18:47.880 --> 01:18:48.640
made of that number?

1355
01:18:49.119 --> 01:18:50.079
No, I don't think I have.

1356
01:18:50.239 --> 01:18:51.760
Well, if you had heard it, you'd know the difference

1357
01:18:51.800 --> 01:18:55.199
between good singing and really great singing.

1358
01:18:55.560 --> 01:18:58.000
You mean, she was so much better, Yes, Alex.

1359
01:18:59.239 --> 01:19:01.199
And if I can't be a top blue singer, then

1360
01:19:01.239 --> 01:19:01.840
I won't.

1361
01:19:01.640 --> 01:19:02.119
Sing it all.

1362
01:19:02.319 --> 01:19:05.159
Oh, Vicky, you're young yet it takes time.

1363
01:19:05.479 --> 01:19:08.199
No, Alex, you either have it or you don't.

1364
01:19:08.840 --> 01:19:09.279
I see.

1365
01:19:10.399 --> 01:19:12.560
Is that why you decided to give up your career

1366
01:19:13.000 --> 01:19:17.800
marry me? Yes, Darling, I'm glad you told me. Oh look, Vicky,

1367
01:19:17.920 --> 01:19:20.760
that sign only thirty seven miles to New Orleans.

1368
01:19:20.840 --> 01:19:21.760
Oh wonderful.

1369
01:19:22.560 --> 01:19:24.560
At last, I'm going to see New Orleans.

1370
01:19:26.119 --> 01:19:28.199
You don't know how long I've waited for this.

1371
01:19:28.960 --> 01:19:31.079
Why all this enthusiasm for New Orleans?

1372
01:19:31.119 --> 01:19:31.720
Why, Alex?

1373
01:19:31.840 --> 01:19:35.199
New Orleans is the birthplace of jazz. Think of all

1374
01:19:35.279 --> 01:19:37.640
the great musicians and singers who come from there and

1375
01:19:37.720 --> 01:19:42.159
the wonderful jazz they created. People like Willie Johnson, Bertha

1376
01:19:42.279 --> 01:19:46.479
Hill and Jack Simmons, and just think Jeff Becker is

1377
01:19:46.479 --> 01:19:48.399
still in New Orleans and we can hear him play.

1378
01:19:49.159 --> 01:19:52.159
He's the fellow that owns the famous waterfront cafe, isn't he.

1379
01:19:52.279 --> 01:19:56.479
Oh, Alex, Jeff Becker isn't famous because he owns a cafe.

1380
01:19:57.279 --> 01:20:00.520
Why he's one of the great names of jazz. Many

1381
01:20:00.600 --> 01:20:03.800
critics think he's the finest jazz pianist who ever live.

1382
01:20:04.960 --> 01:20:08.239
Forgive my ignorance, Darling, I'm afraid I'm just the long

1383
01:20:08.279 --> 01:20:12.000
hair at heart. Tell me if this fellow Jeff Becker

1384
01:20:12.079 --> 01:20:14.439
is as great as you say, how come I haven't

1385
01:20:14.479 --> 01:20:15.239
heard more about him?

1386
01:20:15.279 --> 01:20:17.880
Because he's always refused to leave New Orleans. He's had

1387
01:20:17.920 --> 01:20:20.000
some fabulous office to play in New York, but he's

1388
01:20:20.039 --> 01:20:23.199
turned them all down. That's why he isn't widely known.

1389
01:20:24.159 --> 01:20:26.399
But real lovers of jazz come from all over the

1390
01:20:26.439 --> 01:20:28.640
country to hear Jeff Becker play at his cafe.

1391
01:20:29.079 --> 01:20:31.479
Well, and I guess there isn't any question as to

1392
01:20:31.560 --> 01:20:40.520
where we're going tonight, Jeff Becker's it is. An hour later,

1393
01:20:40.640 --> 01:20:43.319
we were in New Orleans and registered at a hotel.

1394
01:20:44.800 --> 01:20:45.640
Early that evening.

1395
01:20:46.079 --> 01:20:49.359
Vicky and I had suppered Antwin's and then we left

1396
01:20:49.439 --> 01:20:53.800
for Jeff Becker's cafe. As we drove, Vicky was unable

1397
01:20:53.880 --> 01:20:57.960
to hide the excitement she felt. Jeff Becker's cafe turned

1398
01:20:57.960 --> 01:21:00.479
out to be a long, rambling, shabby building with a

1399
01:21:00.560 --> 01:21:02.880
balcony that ran the length of it and hung over

1400
01:21:02.960 --> 01:21:06.640
the river. The inside of the cafe was as unpretentious

1401
01:21:06.640 --> 01:21:09.880
as the outside. There were forty ancient tables or so,

1402
01:21:10.079 --> 01:21:14.319
a small bandstand, and an equally small dance floor. A

1403
01:21:14.399 --> 01:21:16.840
mahogany bar ran the length of one wall, with a

1404
01:21:16.920 --> 01:21:19.840
long mirror behind it, reflecting the shabbiness of the cafe.

1405
01:21:21.239 --> 01:21:23.560
As we were seated, a few musicians began to drift

1406
01:21:23.640 --> 01:21:27.279
in and take their places on the bandstand. Vicky whispered

1407
01:21:27.319 --> 01:21:30.039
excitedly to me the names of the musicians, whom she

1408
01:21:30.119 --> 01:21:31.880
seemed to know without ever having seen before.

1409
01:21:32.720 --> 01:21:34.199
And suddenly Vicky clutched.

1410
01:21:33.920 --> 01:21:36.680
At my arm, Alex, Look, there's Jeff Becker.

1411
01:21:37.039 --> 01:21:39.760
Where there he is, walking towards the piano that little

1412
01:21:39.800 --> 01:21:42.920
Sandy heard man. Yes, that's Jeff Becker.

1413
01:21:44.039 --> 01:21:48.520
I stared at him and felt somewhat disappointed. For no

1414
01:21:48.680 --> 01:21:52.039
good reason whatsoever, My imagination had led me to see

1415
01:21:52.279 --> 01:21:56.439
Jeff Becker as an impressive looking individual, whereas in reality

1416
01:21:56.520 --> 01:21:59.079
he was a slight man, being no more than five

1417
01:21:59.159 --> 01:22:04.399
feet five with a plain, undistinguished looking face. He looked

1418
01:22:04.399 --> 01:22:06.439
a good deal younger than the fifty he was reputed

1419
01:22:06.479 --> 01:22:09.840
to be. There were two very attractive looking women with him,

1420
01:22:10.720 --> 01:22:12.760
both of whom followed his every move. As he sat

1421
01:22:12.800 --> 01:22:16.279
down at his piano, the talk and the laughter in

1422
01:22:16.319 --> 01:22:19.600
the cafe died out, and Jeff Becker and his men

1423
01:22:19.680 --> 01:22:40.560
began to play. As Jeff Becker played, the disappointment I

1424
01:22:40.600 --> 01:22:43.760
had felt about him passed with me As he sat

1425
01:22:43.840 --> 01:22:47.279
there at the piano, playing smoothly, effortlessly. He was no

1426
01:22:47.439 --> 01:22:51.039
longer a small, slight man with a plain face. There

1427
01:22:51.119 --> 01:22:53.920
was a warmth and greatness about him, and even I,

1428
01:22:54.159 --> 01:22:58.000
who was no lover of jazz, could sense the genius

1429
01:22:58.199 --> 01:22:59.159
of Jeff Becker.

1430
01:23:27.319 --> 01:23:29.880
Oh, Alex, isn't he wonderful?

1431
01:23:30.079 --> 01:23:32.479
Yes? Thinker, he is, he really is, Alex.

1432
01:23:32.560 --> 01:23:34.680
Look he's coming this way, Yes.

1433
01:23:34.600 --> 01:23:36.159
He seems to be coming to our table.

1434
01:23:37.000 --> 01:23:39.680
Good evening, Miss Saunders. Welcome to New Orleans.

1435
01:23:39.760 --> 01:23:43.000
Why, thank you, mister Becker, Thank you very much.

1436
01:23:43.560 --> 01:23:46.560
Just call me Jeff. Only tourists call me mister.

1437
01:23:47.479 --> 01:23:48.239
All right, Jeff.

1438
01:23:49.239 --> 01:23:51.479
Oh, This is my husband, Alex Drake.

1439
01:23:51.720 --> 01:23:52.319
Read to meet you.

1440
01:23:52.479 --> 01:23:53.920
How do you do won't you join us?

1441
01:23:54.079 --> 01:23:54.439
Sorry?

1442
01:23:54.640 --> 01:23:56.680
No, I only have a minute. The boys and me

1443
01:23:56.840 --> 01:23:57.680
got some playing to do.

1444
01:23:57.840 --> 01:24:01.439
I've heard brown Bee Boogie played before, but never as

1445
01:24:01.520 --> 01:24:02.600
wonderfully as you do it.

1446
01:24:03.079 --> 01:24:04.399
Thanks very much, Vickie.

1447
01:24:04.840 --> 01:24:06.119
How did you know who I was?

1448
01:24:06.760 --> 01:24:07.680
I've seen pictures.

1449
01:24:08.239 --> 01:24:09.680
Have you ever heard my wife sing?

1450
01:24:09.840 --> 01:24:10.079
Jeff?

1451
01:24:10.880 --> 01:24:13.159
Yes, and I have. Well, I got to be getting

1452
01:24:13.239 --> 01:24:15.640
back to work. It's been nice meeting you folks. See

1453
01:24:15.680 --> 01:24:16.920
you around, Yes, of course.

1454
01:24:17.720 --> 01:24:17.920
Huh.

1455
01:24:18.399 --> 01:24:20.039
An abrupt sort of fellow, isn't it.

1456
01:24:21.079 --> 01:24:24.399
He was being tactful, darling, not abrupt. He was afraid

1457
01:24:24.439 --> 01:24:26.359
you might ask him what he thought of my singing.

1458
01:24:26.680 --> 01:24:28.439
Well, what's wrong with my asking him that?

1459
01:24:28.760 --> 01:24:28.880
Oh?

1460
01:24:29.039 --> 01:24:31.880
Nothing, I mean it would have made Jeff Becker unhappy

1461
01:24:31.960 --> 01:24:33.880
to have told you the truth about my singing.

1462
01:24:34.279 --> 01:24:37.119
Well, anyway, I still think you're great.

1463
01:24:38.479 --> 01:24:42.039
Thank you, darling. Oh look they're going to play now.

1464
01:24:56.479 --> 01:24:59.680
We sat listening to the magic of Jeff Becker's music

1465
01:24:59.760 --> 01:25:03.680
for our When I suggested to Vicky that we leave,

1466
01:25:04.039 --> 01:25:08.279
she refused, insisting that we remain until closing time, which

1467
01:25:08.399 --> 01:25:12.399
was four in the morning. The next evening found us

1468
01:25:12.439 --> 01:25:16.199
once again at Jeff's cafe, and again we remained until closing.

1469
01:25:17.560 --> 01:25:19.840
Try as I might, I couldn't get Vicky interested in

1470
01:25:19.880 --> 01:25:22.840
the sights of New Orleans and a fascinating swamp country nearby.

1471
01:25:23.479 --> 01:25:26.239
Night after night, despite my protests, we would end up

1472
01:25:26.279 --> 01:25:29.960
at Jeff's cafe. Life to Vicky came to revolve around

1473
01:25:30.000 --> 01:25:33.760
these nightly visits, and all else seemed unreal to her.

1474
01:25:34.800 --> 01:25:36.600
Soon even I lost track of time.

1475
01:25:37.720 --> 01:25:40.840
Weeks passed, and then one night, at closing time, Jeff

1476
01:25:40.840 --> 01:25:43.319
Becker came over to our table for the first.

1477
01:25:43.159 --> 01:25:44.399
Time since the night we'd met.

1478
01:25:45.119 --> 01:25:47.399
How do you folks? Glad to see you still with it?

1479
01:25:47.520 --> 01:25:48.199
Hello, Jeff?

1480
01:25:48.560 --> 01:25:50.880
Well, how do you folks like New Orleans having a

1481
01:25:50.920 --> 01:25:51.359
good time?

1482
01:25:51.680 --> 01:25:54.399
Frankly, we've seen very little of New Orleans outside of

1483
01:25:54.439 --> 01:25:59.039
this cafe. Well just between earths, ain't very much more

1484
01:25:59.079 --> 01:26:01.279
to see, I agree.

1485
01:26:01.479 --> 01:26:03.920
Oh dear, it's closing time already. No sooner do we

1486
01:26:04.000 --> 01:26:05.479
get here than it's time to go home.

1487
01:26:05.680 --> 01:26:07.840
Well, if you'd like to hear more music, why not

1488
01:26:08.000 --> 01:26:10.479
stay on? The boys and me always have a small

1489
01:26:10.600 --> 01:26:11.800
session after closing hour.

1490
01:26:12.000 --> 01:26:14.239
Well, thanks very much, Jeff, but I'm afraid.

1491
01:26:14.039 --> 01:26:15.840
That we really oh we'd love to stay on.

1492
01:26:16.039 --> 01:26:18.439
Jeff. It's wonderful of you to ask us, glad to

1493
01:26:18.520 --> 01:26:20.960
have you see you're around, Vicky.

1494
01:26:21.159 --> 01:26:23.800
Enough is enough. We've been here since nine o'clock, Alex.

1495
01:26:23.880 --> 01:26:26.840
You don't understand it's an honor to have Jeff ask

1496
01:26:26.880 --> 01:26:27.399
you to stay on.

1497
01:26:27.600 --> 01:26:29.119
Few people get that invitation.

1498
01:26:29.399 --> 01:26:32.199
Well, I'm duly appreciative, believe me. But seven hours is

1499
01:26:32.279 --> 01:26:35.119
enough of this place for one night. Now, come along, Vicky,

1500
01:26:35.199 --> 01:26:36.159
Let's go back to the hotel.

1501
01:26:36.319 --> 01:26:39.479
No, I want to stay for this session, Ricky.

1502
01:26:39.880 --> 01:26:42.560
I think I've been more than reasonable, coming here night

1503
01:26:42.600 --> 01:26:44.840
after night for weeks. Now it's about time I got

1504
01:26:44.920 --> 01:26:45.239
my way.

1505
01:26:45.319 --> 01:26:46.199
I insist we leave.

1506
01:26:46.279 --> 01:26:48.520
I won't go. I tell you I'm staying here. If

1507
01:26:48.560 --> 01:26:50.199
you want to go back to the hotel, don't let

1508
01:26:50.239 --> 01:26:50.720
me keep you.

1509
01:26:52.600 --> 01:26:55.920
As Vicky screamed at me, for a brief, flashing moment,

1510
01:26:55.960 --> 01:26:59.840
I almost imagined I'd seen hate in her eyes. The

1511
01:27:00.079 --> 01:27:04.920
shock of that moment was like a revelation. Suddenly I

1512
01:27:05.119 --> 01:27:09.119
realized that Vicky had changed, that I was losing her.

1513
01:27:10.239 --> 01:27:12.279
Her face as she listened to the music was like

1514
01:27:12.359 --> 01:27:16.920
the faces of the musicians and Jeff Becker's himself. Their

1515
01:27:16.960 --> 01:27:23.000
emotion laid there my turns ecstatic, impassioned and resisting. I

1516
01:27:23.319 --> 01:27:25.399
was an outsider looking in on a way of life

1517
01:27:25.439 --> 01:27:29.279
of which I could never be part. The lateness of

1518
01:27:29.319 --> 01:27:32.359
the hour, the smoke filled room, and my confused thoughts

1519
01:27:33.520 --> 01:27:36.600
were too much for me, and I fell asleep with

1520
01:27:36.680 --> 01:27:49.279
my head on the table. I have no idea how

1521
01:27:49.359 --> 01:27:53.439
long I slept, but when I awoke it was daylight.

1522
01:27:54.680 --> 01:27:56.239
I became aware of a woman singing.

1523
01:27:56.760 --> 01:27:58.640
I looked up. I saw it was Vicky.

1524
01:27:59.199 --> 01:28:04.880
Vicky standing on the piano, singing to Jeff Becker, the jazz.

1525
01:28:07.399 --> 01:28:07.760
Jezz.

1526
01:28:19.600 --> 01:28:24.479
Well, Jeff, I don't know, Vicky, what's wrong?

1527
01:28:25.399 --> 01:28:33.199
Hard to say, oh, Vicky. Jazz was born in these parts.

1528
01:28:34.359 --> 01:28:37.960
They came from the people people worked on the levees,

1529
01:28:38.079 --> 01:28:42.319
the riverside, whalers and in the fields. It was part

1530
01:28:42.359 --> 01:28:45.479
of the bone and flesh of old timers like Willie

1531
01:28:45.600 --> 01:28:49.880
Johnson and Joe Fletcher. They played jazz the way it

1532
01:28:50.199 --> 01:28:55.079
was in their hearts, singing like Chippy Hill just stepped up,

1533
01:28:55.520 --> 01:28:56.840
flapped our anne's.

1534
01:28:56.520 --> 01:29:00.520
And gave out with the blues. That's what I did. Great.

1535
01:29:01.560 --> 01:29:05.560
They played and sang as they felt pissy.

1536
01:29:06.680 --> 01:29:10.800
Second rate musicians picked up something that was fine and clean,

1537
01:29:11.000 --> 01:29:13.640
and took it to the big cities in the north

1538
01:29:14.800 --> 01:29:17.199
that they weren't playing for the sake of music, they

1539
01:29:17.239 --> 01:29:18.680
were playing for greenbacks.

1540
01:29:19.840 --> 01:29:21.840
And is that what's wrong with my singing?

1541
01:29:22.560 --> 01:29:22.840
Praid?

1542
01:29:22.960 --> 01:29:26.600
So I reckon you had too many teachers, Vicky, and

1543
01:29:26.760 --> 01:29:31.600
they all torture to sing by the book or maybe popular.

1544
01:29:31.199 --> 01:29:32.039
But it ain't good.

1545
01:29:32.319 --> 01:29:33.760
Do you think it's too late to go back?

1546
01:29:34.399 --> 01:29:35.399
Hard to say, Vicky?

1547
01:29:36.199 --> 01:29:37.199
Do you want to start all?

1548
01:29:37.560 --> 01:29:37.680
Oh?

1549
01:29:37.880 --> 01:29:38.760
Yes, Jeff, yes?

1550
01:29:39.279 --> 01:29:42.720
Would you let me stay on here and sing with

1551
01:29:42.920 --> 01:29:43.479
your band?

1552
01:29:45.039 --> 01:29:48.319
Alex, you're not singing with the band. Were leading New Orleans.

1553
01:29:48.119 --> 01:29:50.279
At once, Alex be reasonab but you know you, Spicky,

1554
01:29:50.840 --> 01:29:51.399
we're leading.

1555
01:29:51.279 --> 01:30:04.880
New Orleans today and that's final. I'll get your suitcases

1556
01:30:04.920 --> 01:30:06.920
from the closet key so that you can start packing.

1557
01:30:07.000 --> 01:30:08.880
I tell you, Alex, I'm not leaving New Orleans. Not

1558
01:30:08.960 --> 01:30:10.680
only am I staying, but I'm going to sing with

1559
01:30:10.800 --> 01:30:11.720
Jeff Becker's band.

1560
01:30:12.000 --> 01:30:15.319
Vicky, are you blind? Can't you see what's happening? You're

1561
01:30:15.399 --> 01:30:18.680
losing all sense of perception of values. Life to you

1562
01:30:18.800 --> 01:30:20.600
has come to mean only Jeff Becker's cafe.

1563
01:30:20.720 --> 01:30:21.319
I don't care.

1564
01:30:21.920 --> 01:30:25.119
That's where I belong where I really feel alive. If

1565
01:30:25.159 --> 01:30:28.039
you love jazz felt about the way I do, you'd understand.

1566
01:30:28.279 --> 01:30:29.399
I do understand.

1567
01:30:29.439 --> 01:30:32.279
But there are other things besides Jeff Becker and his musing.

1568
01:30:32.359 --> 01:30:32.800
There aren't.

1569
01:30:33.319 --> 01:30:34.880
Now here's a suitcase, start packer.

1570
01:30:34.960 --> 01:30:36.720
It's no use, Alex, I'm not leaving.

1571
01:30:37.159 --> 01:30:39.520
You will have to choose between Jeff Becker and myself.

1572
01:30:39.600 --> 01:30:39.840
Vicky.

1573
01:30:41.119 --> 01:30:44.359
Well, I'm sorry it's come to this, Alex, but I'm

1574
01:30:44.439 --> 01:30:46.920
still going to sing with Jeff Becker's band.

1575
01:30:50.279 --> 01:30:51.960
It was at that moment I knew that I had

1576
01:30:52.039 --> 01:30:56.520
lost Vicky has she turned away from me. An overwhelming

1577
01:30:56.640 --> 01:31:00.319
hatred for Jeff Becker surged up within me. Had he

1578
01:31:00.479 --> 01:31:02.119
been in the room at that moment, I would have

1579
01:31:02.279 --> 01:31:03.680
killed him without any hesitation.

1580
01:31:06.600 --> 01:31:09.880
I left the hotel, walked the streets of New Orleans.

1581
01:31:11.279 --> 01:31:13.520
I knew that Vicky would never be mine as long

1582
01:31:13.560 --> 01:31:17.079
as Jeff Becker were alive, and I also knew that

1583
01:31:17.159 --> 01:31:21.399
I couldn't go on without Vicky. There was only one answer.

1584
01:31:22.199 --> 01:31:25.960
I returned to the hotel, told Vicky I would remain

1585
01:31:26.000 --> 01:31:32.199
in New Orleans with it. Night after night, we continued

1586
01:31:32.239 --> 01:31:35.439
going to that waterfront cafe, and each night after the

1587
01:31:35.640 --> 01:31:49.119
place had closed, Vicky would sing with the band. As

1588
01:31:49.199 --> 01:31:52.800
I listened to Vicky sing, even I, who knew very

1589
01:31:52.840 --> 01:31:55.720
little of music, for sense that her singing was superb.

1590
01:31:56.880 --> 01:31:58.279
The musicians in the band.

1591
01:31:58.159 --> 01:32:03.079
Looked approvingly and accepted her as one of themselves under

1592
01:32:03.199 --> 01:32:08.399
Jeff Becker's almost hypnotic guidance, and she sang with war. Really,

1593
01:32:09.560 --> 01:32:11.840
as much as I hated Jeff Becker, I couldn't help

1594
01:32:11.920 --> 01:32:16.840
but admire his genius for bringing out talent. The music ended,

1595
01:32:17.600 --> 01:32:20.279
and Jeff rose from piano and padded Vicky on the

1596
01:32:20.319 --> 01:32:24.359
shoulder encouragingly. He left the band stand and started walking

1597
01:32:24.399 --> 01:32:26.560
through the cafe towards his office in the back.

1598
01:32:27.479 --> 01:32:29.279
This was the moment I had long waited for.

1599
01:32:30.079 --> 01:32:32.239
I quickly eased out of my chair, which was in

1600
01:32:32.319 --> 01:32:34.920
the darkened part of the cafe, and slipped out into

1601
01:32:34.960 --> 01:32:38.279
the balcony. I then ran quietly along the balcony until

1602
01:32:38.319 --> 01:32:41.960
I reached the French door that opened into Jeff Becker's office.

1603
01:32:43.239 --> 01:32:45.520
I got there just as Jeff sat down at his desk.

1604
01:32:45.960 --> 01:32:50.800
He was alone. I opened the door and stepped into

1605
01:32:50.840 --> 01:32:51.279
his office.

1606
01:32:51.960 --> 01:32:55.600
Oh hello, Alex, what can I do for you?

1607
01:32:56.680 --> 01:32:57.760
I've come for my wife.

1608
01:32:58.520 --> 01:33:00.760
My wife isn't in here.

1609
01:33:01.239 --> 01:33:03.840
Vicky is wherever you are, and I can't have that.

1610
01:33:04.000 --> 01:33:04.239
Jeff.

1611
01:33:04.319 --> 01:33:05.199
She's got to be mine.

1612
01:33:05.520 --> 01:33:06.520
She is yours.

1613
01:33:06.600 --> 01:33:07.119
You know that.

1614
01:33:07.359 --> 01:33:09.680
No, no, she belongs to you now, she said, as

1615
01:33:09.760 --> 01:33:12.600
much as long as you're alive, Vicky will never be mine.

1616
01:33:12.600 --> 01:33:14.680
I know that You're wrong, Alex, believe me.

1617
01:33:14.880 --> 01:33:20.079
It's mule. She's got to be mine, She's got to.

1618
01:33:20.319 --> 01:33:30.399
Be I felt Jeff's body go limp in my hands,

1619
01:33:32.520 --> 01:33:36.640
and I knew he was dead. I quickly picked up

1620
01:33:36.680 --> 01:33:38.800
his slight body in my arms and carried it out

1621
01:33:39.079 --> 01:33:39.720
to the balcony.

1622
01:33:40.680 --> 01:33:41.520
There was no one in sight.

1623
01:33:42.600 --> 01:33:46.239
I leaned over the balcony rail and dropped Jeff's body.

1624
01:33:47.680 --> 01:33:50.680
It fell into the river with a small splash.

1625
01:33:51.920 --> 01:33:52.680
And was gone.

1626
01:33:55.039 --> 01:33:57.159
I quietly walked to the other end of the balcony

1627
01:33:58.159 --> 01:33:59.920
and slipped into my seat in the dark and cafe.

1628
01:34:01.479 --> 01:34:04.119
The musicians and Vicky were still on the band stand talking,

1629
01:34:05.000 --> 01:34:07.079
and I knew they hadn't missed me during the few

1630
01:34:07.159 --> 01:34:08.079
minutes I had been gone.

1631
01:34:10.560 --> 01:34:12.960
The ordeal was over.

1632
01:34:16.680 --> 01:34:20.399
A week past, and Jeff Becker's disappearance was the talk

1633
01:34:20.439 --> 01:34:23.359
of New Orleans. The police questioned everyone, but were unable

1634
01:34:23.399 --> 01:34:27.039
to solve the mystery. Vicky was inconsolable and locked herself

1635
01:34:27.079 --> 01:34:32.760
in her room at the hotel, refusing to see anyone. Salix, Darling,

1636
01:34:33.079 --> 01:34:38.560
please let me in, Darling. You can't stay in your

1637
01:34:38.680 --> 01:34:39.960
room like this day after day.

1638
01:34:40.279 --> 01:34:41.439
You know it isn't good for you.

1639
01:34:42.199 --> 01:34:42.479
Vicky.

1640
01:34:42.600 --> 01:34:44.279
Let's leave New Orleans, go to New York.

1641
01:34:44.319 --> 01:34:46.239
Now, I'm gonna wait until Jeff comes back.

1642
01:34:47.560 --> 01:34:51.039
Vicky, Jeff isn't coming back.

1643
01:34:52.520 --> 01:34:55.560
What what do you mean?

1644
01:34:57.039 --> 01:34:59.920
A body was found floating in the gulf this morning.

1645
01:35:00.680 --> 01:35:04.439
The police think it's Jeff's body. Oh no, after a

1646
01:35:04.520 --> 01:35:07.239
week in the water, naturally, it was hard to identify it.

1647
01:35:09.479 --> 01:35:16.439
Dead. Yes, Darling, it's in all the papers. Oh allie,

1648
01:35:18.359 --> 01:35:23.600
you mustn't cry, Darling. Here, let me wipe your tears.

1649
01:35:25.680 --> 01:35:27.520
Don't you think it would be better if we left

1650
01:35:27.560 --> 01:35:28.119
New Orleans?

1651
01:35:32.880 --> 01:35:36.279
All right, Alex, anything you say.

1652
01:35:41.560 --> 01:35:43.439
A few days later, we were back in New York.

1653
01:35:45.079 --> 01:35:48.239
There was snow on the ground and the air was invigorating.

1654
01:35:49.680 --> 01:35:51.800
What had happened in New Orleans seemed like a dream,

1655
01:35:52.000 --> 01:35:55.359
a bad dream. At first, Vicky was melancholy, but as

1656
01:35:55.479 --> 01:35:58.239
days passed she grew better, and I felt confident that

1657
01:35:58.319 --> 01:35:59.119
in time she'd.

1658
01:35:58.920 --> 01:35:59.760
Be her old self.

1659
01:36:00.199 --> 01:36:02.239
We saw the shows in town and dined at the

1660
01:36:02.279 --> 01:36:04.520
finest restaurants, and then one night I took her to

1661
01:36:04.600 --> 01:36:07.000
Carnegie Hall to hear the Philharmonic Orchestra.

1662
01:36:07.960 --> 01:36:09.079
Here, Darling, here's a program.

1663
01:36:09.199 --> 01:36:09.479
Thank you.

1664
01:36:09.920 --> 01:36:12.239
Oh, I see they're going to play the rock maninav

1665
01:36:12.279 --> 01:36:15.399
first piano Concerto with Andre de Vana soloist.

1666
01:36:15.920 --> 01:36:17.640
You've always liked that concetto, haven't you.

1667
01:36:18.079 --> 01:36:18.680
Yes, Alex?

1668
01:36:19.920 --> 01:36:25.159
Look well, just come up on street young, isn't it Yes?

1669
01:36:25.239 --> 01:36:28.960
He is happy, Alex. They're going to play now.

1670
01:36:57.039 --> 01:36:59.920
As I sat there in that great concert hall listen

1671
01:37:00.119 --> 01:37:04.359
into the orchestra, I became aware of this cordon playing.

1672
01:37:05.119 --> 01:37:07.720
I looked at Vicky at other concert doors, but none

1673
01:37:07.760 --> 01:37:12.239
seemed aware of it. But this cordancy grew, and then

1674
01:37:12.399 --> 01:37:13.079
suddenly I.

1675
01:37:13.239 --> 01:37:16.279
Realized it wasn't the music of Black Monatof I was hearing.

1676
01:37:17.319 --> 01:37:20.479
It was the music of Jeff Ficker being played faster

1677
01:37:20.640 --> 01:37:22.279
and faster, louder and louder.

1678
01:37:23.279 --> 01:37:24.840
I walked the post to scream out.

1679
01:37:25.359 --> 01:37:27.039
As I put my hands to my ears, I became

1680
01:37:27.079 --> 01:37:28.279
aware of my arm being shaken.

1681
01:37:28.479 --> 01:37:29.520
It was being corrected.

1682
01:37:30.880 --> 01:37:31.520
Gave the music.

1683
01:37:31.600 --> 01:37:32.000
Listen to it.

1684
01:37:32.159 --> 01:37:33.960
Let's be quiet everyone is looking at it.

1685
01:37:34.039 --> 01:37:35.079
I can't stand at anymore.

1686
01:37:35.119 --> 01:37:36.119
That's gonna right.

1687
01:37:36.680 --> 01:37:37.479
Please be quiet.

1688
01:37:37.520 --> 01:37:38.359
Everybody's looking.

1689
01:37:38.680 --> 01:37:39.560
Hurry, hurry.

1690
01:37:46.600 --> 01:37:48.640
Oh it's gone. Thank goodness.

1691
01:37:48.680 --> 01:37:49.520
I can't hear anymore.

1692
01:37:49.640 --> 01:37:50.319
What's gone?

1693
01:37:50.680 --> 01:37:51.319
The music?

1694
01:37:51.760 --> 01:37:53.680
You aren't making any sense. We came to the concert

1695
01:37:53.720 --> 01:37:56.239
to hear music. What's wrong with you?

1696
01:37:56.600 --> 01:37:56.880
Wrong?

1697
01:37:57.319 --> 01:38:01.159
Nothing? Nothing at all. I just suddenly felt ill in

1698
01:38:01.279 --> 01:38:02.279
there and had to get out.

1699
01:38:02.399 --> 01:38:03.840
Perhaps we'd better see a doctor.

1700
01:38:05.079 --> 01:38:05.960
He looks so pale.

1701
01:38:06.039 --> 01:38:08.920
No, no, I'm all right now, are you sure? Yes, yes,

1702
01:38:09.479 --> 01:38:10.159
Let's go home.

1703
01:38:10.039 --> 01:38:10.399
Now, Vick.

1704
01:38:14.760 --> 01:38:16.920
All the way home, I kept thinking of the amazing

1705
01:38:16.960 --> 01:38:20.600
hallucination I'd had. Obviously it was the result of a

1706
01:38:20.680 --> 01:38:23.720
mental strain I had undergone in New Orleans, but with

1707
01:38:23.840 --> 01:38:27.600
sufficient rest and relaxation, I would soon forget the horrible

1708
01:38:27.600 --> 01:38:32.760
events that had occurred there. Arriving home, I went to bed,

1709
01:38:33.319 --> 01:38:37.399
but found it difficult to fall asleep. Hours later, I

1710
01:38:37.520 --> 01:38:41.319
drifted off into an uneasy sleep, and then I started dreaming.

1711
01:38:42.359 --> 01:38:45.319
I dreamt that I was in Jeff Becker's cafe. I'm

1712
01:38:45.319 --> 01:38:49.159
the only people there with Jeff and myself. He was

1713
01:38:49.239 --> 01:38:53.640
seated at the piano, playing smiling at me. I walked

1714
01:38:53.680 --> 01:38:55.640
over to the bandstand, and he spoke.

1715
01:38:55.359 --> 01:38:58.359
To me, Hello, Alex, how do you like this number?

1716
01:38:59.439 --> 01:39:00.760
Pretty good? Red dead Man?

1717
01:39:00.880 --> 01:39:04.039
Eh, you can't play if you're dead.

1718
01:39:04.279 --> 01:39:07.159
Yes I can, Alex. You hear my music, don't you?

1719
01:39:07.479 --> 01:39:07.680
Yes?

1720
01:39:07.880 --> 01:39:10.159
I am always gonna hear it, Alex.

1721
01:39:10.319 --> 01:39:10.720
Always.

1722
01:39:11.439 --> 01:39:14.840
My music will never die. Even if you did kill me,

1723
01:39:15.000 --> 01:39:17.319
It'll go on and stop.

1724
01:39:18.800 --> 01:39:31.000
Way, Alex, Alex, what is it you were having a nightmare?

1725
01:39:31.359 --> 01:39:32.560
You screened and wrote me up?

1726
01:39:34.840 --> 01:39:35.720
I remember now?

1727
01:39:36.399 --> 01:39:37.399
What are you dreaming about?

1728
01:39:38.560 --> 01:39:39.239
New Orleans?

1729
01:39:40.000 --> 01:39:42.239
Yes, go back to sleep, not the game.

1730
01:39:42.399 --> 01:39:46.840
I'm all right, I'm all right, I said to her.

1731
01:39:47.760 --> 01:39:48.399
But I wasn't.

1732
01:39:50.640 --> 01:39:52.840
That was the beginning of a series of nightmares and

1733
01:39:52.920 --> 01:39:55.960
hallucinations in which I heard Jeff Becker playing that I

1734
01:39:56.039 --> 01:39:56.800
cursed music of his.

1735
01:39:57.640 --> 01:39:59.840
When an attack came, I would flee from room to room,

1736
01:40:00.319 --> 01:40:02.560
my fingers against my ears, but there was no escape.

1737
01:40:03.439 --> 01:40:05.800
I could hear the rhythmic pounding of Jeff Becker's music

1738
01:40:05.880 --> 01:40:09.560
in my head join a lot of relentlessly hammering away.

1739
01:40:10.319 --> 01:40:11.920
I knew that it would only be a question of

1740
01:40:12.039 --> 01:40:12.680
time of bory.

1741
01:40:12.760 --> 01:40:13.560
Don't be mad.

1742
01:40:14.880 --> 01:40:16.199
I fucked for my sanity.

1743
01:40:18.920 --> 01:40:23.680
Good morning, mister Drake. Are you feeling today? Oh, I

1744
01:40:23.760 --> 01:40:25.279
see you've done quite a bit of writing.

1745
01:40:25.840 --> 01:40:28.119
Good. I'm glad you followed my suggestion.

1746
01:40:28.640 --> 01:40:31.279
It's all written down, doctor, everything that happened to me.

1747
01:40:31.399 --> 01:40:32.399
It's fine, mister Drake.

1748
01:40:32.479 --> 01:40:35.000
I'm sure it'll be of great help to both of us.

1749
01:40:36.520 --> 01:40:38.399
You were feeling the mood for a visitor.

1750
01:40:39.319 --> 01:40:39.640
Visitor?

1751
01:40:39.800 --> 01:40:42.760
Yes, your wife, Yes, I'd like to see the keys.

1752
01:40:42.760 --> 01:40:43.800
She's just outside.

1753
01:40:43.920 --> 01:40:44.720
I'll have a come in.

1754
01:40:45.840 --> 01:40:47.119
Will you come in to today?

1755
01:40:48.399 --> 01:40:51.000
Hello, Alic, how are you done?

1756
01:40:51.199 --> 01:40:51.520
Vicky?

1757
01:40:52.960 --> 01:40:55.159
It's good to see you again and have you near me?

1758
01:40:55.600 --> 01:40:59.840
Oh, Alex. Doctor Mitch just says that you're much better.

1759
01:41:00.119 --> 01:41:01.680
Yes, yes, I'm much better.

1760
01:41:02.159 --> 01:41:02.520
Doctor.

1761
01:41:02.640 --> 01:41:03.600
Will you tell him?

1762
01:41:03.840 --> 01:41:04.000
Yes?

1763
01:41:04.520 --> 01:41:04.920
Tell me what?

1764
01:41:06.119 --> 01:41:07.199
Won't you sit down?

1765
01:41:07.279 --> 01:41:07.840
Mister Drake.

1766
01:41:09.159 --> 01:41:09.520
That's it.

1767
01:41:11.600 --> 01:41:11.760
Now.

1768
01:41:12.359 --> 01:41:13.880
What I'm going to tell you will.

1769
01:41:13.720 --> 01:41:16.680
Come as a shock, but I'm hopeful, little Ridge of

1770
01:41:16.760 --> 01:41:22.720
the hallucinations you suffer from. Yes, doctor, mister Drake, you

1771
01:41:22.960 --> 01:41:24.640
did not murder Jeff Becker.

1772
01:41:24.760 --> 01:41:25.239
But I did.

1773
01:41:25.319 --> 01:41:25.680
I did.

1774
01:41:26.880 --> 01:41:30.640
I choked him until he was dead, and then I

1775
01:41:30.800 --> 01:41:31.800
threw him into the river.

1776
01:41:32.000 --> 01:41:35.520
Now, mister Drake, Jeff Becker was not dead when you

1777
01:41:35.560 --> 01:41:39.039
threw him into the river. He was only unconscious, and

1778
01:41:39.199 --> 01:41:40.399
the water revived him.

1779
01:41:41.079 --> 01:41:45.479
His body made a splash, a small splash.

1780
01:41:45.960 --> 01:41:49.279
Jeff Becker is alive. He was picked up by a

1781
01:41:49.359 --> 01:41:53.840
fishing trawler going to see. Do you understand, mister drake,

1782
01:41:55.760 --> 01:41:57.359
Jeff Becker is alive.

1783
01:42:00.119 --> 01:42:00.960
You come in please.

1784
01:42:02.000 --> 01:42:07.119
I didn't want to do it, but he made me hello.

1785
01:42:07.319 --> 01:42:12.079
I like, oh, no, you're dead.

1786
01:42:12.880 --> 01:42:14.000
You're dead? Ye?

1787
01:42:15.000 --> 01:42:15.039
What?

1788
01:42:15.239 --> 01:42:15.920
Your music?

1789
01:42:16.359 --> 01:42:17.239
It goes on and on.

1790
01:42:18.000 --> 01:42:19.680
I can't get away from your music.

1791
01:42:20.359 --> 01:42:21.800
It follows me everywhere.

1792
01:42:22.640 --> 01:42:26.840
Can't you fail again? Overwhelming?

1793
01:42:28.479 --> 01:42:31.359
It's getting a lot of I can't estate from him.

1794
01:42:57.640 --> 01:43:02.279
This is the mysterious traveler again. Too bad about poor Alex,

1795
01:43:02.479 --> 01:43:04.760
wasn't it. It just goes to prove you may be

1796
01:43:04.960 --> 01:43:08.199
able to escape the law, but there's always your conscience

1797
01:43:08.279 --> 01:43:08.800
to reckon with.

1798
01:43:10.119 --> 01:43:11.159
What happened to Alex?

1799
01:43:11.800 --> 01:43:11.920
Oh?

1800
01:43:12.039 --> 01:43:15.920
He finally responded to medical treatment, and today and VICKI

1801
01:43:16.000 --> 01:43:19.479
are a very happy couper. However, there are still two

1802
01:43:19.600 --> 01:43:24.880
things Alex can't stand, jazz and the sight of rivers.

1803
01:43:25.600 --> 01:43:28.680
He's strictly a long hair these days.

1804
01:43:29.720 --> 01:43:32.640
I recall another young man once who decided that two

1805
01:43:32.760 --> 01:43:36.319
murders are better than one, and so, oh, you have

1806
01:43:36.439 --> 01:43:37.159
to get off here.

1807
01:43:37.560 --> 01:43:41.720
I'm sorry, but I'm sure we'll meet again. I take

1808
01:43:41.800 --> 01:43:45.479
this same train every week at the same time.

1809
01:43:58.119 --> 01:44:01.199
You've just heard The Mysterious Trouble, a series of dramas

1810
01:44:01.239 --> 01:44:04.800
of the strange and terrifying. All characters in tonight's story

1811
01:44:04.880 --> 01:44:07.680
were fictitious, and any resemblance to the names of actual

1812
01:44:07.760 --> 01:44:12.039
persons was purely coincidental. In tonight's cast were Maurice Toplin,

1813
01:44:12.199 --> 01:44:16.600
Frank Barns, John Alexander, and John Gibson. All recordings heard

1814
01:44:16.640 --> 01:44:19.359
in this program were played by Miss Hazel Scott and

1815
01:44:19.479 --> 01:44:22.640
may be found in her latest album Dat Scott. Organ

1816
01:44:22.720 --> 01:44:26.399
music was played by Paul Taubman, sound by George Cooney,

1817
01:44:26.520 --> 01:44:30.359
broadcast engineer Al King. The Mysterious Traveler is written, produced,

1818
01:44:30.359 --> 01:44:33.479
and directed by Robert J. Arthur and David Cogan.

1819
01:44:39.159 --> 01:44:45.640
Well, my dear, I suppose things are getting a bit exciting, eh, Well,

1820
01:44:46.840 --> 01:44:50.600
your visit is generally the most excitement I get, aside

1821
01:44:50.680 --> 01:44:54.880
from during the witching season. As you know, things get

1822
01:44:55.000 --> 01:45:01.840
more exciting for me. My world gets a little bigger,

1823
01:45:03.479 --> 01:45:09.039
The world in general gets a little bigger, a little darker.

1824
01:45:10.760 --> 01:45:14.000
And as I think about all the things I could do,

1825
01:45:14.279 --> 01:45:19.359
all the places I could be, all the hope I

1826
01:45:19.520 --> 01:45:26.319
could hold on to. I feel comfortable and safe being

1827
01:45:27.479 --> 01:45:30.920
the thing from the darkness.

1828
01:45:41.399 --> 01:46:00.279
Guy, and just be eating on the darkness. Yeah.

1829
01:46:05.840 --> 01:46:07.960
H h.

1830
01:46:10.199 --> 01:46:22.840
H what's that? Oh? Telephone close? The first chance of

1831
01:46:22.960 --> 01:46:25.720
d gets sleep in this country in the dead. Blame

1832
01:46:25.920 --> 01:46:36.000
telephone that's awakened. I should let it ring till doomsday. Yes, yes,

1833
01:46:36.119 --> 01:46:41.800
this is San Canyan Airport. Oh, it's a Don Thurman speaking. Yeah,

1834
01:46:41.800 --> 01:46:42.640
there's a plane.

1835
01:46:42.399 --> 01:46:45.199
Here where.

1836
01:46:47.199 --> 01:46:52.199
Mantella. I don't care much for that trip across the desert,

1837
01:46:52.239 --> 01:46:54.239
but you need the plane or willing to pay me

1838
01:46:54.319 --> 01:46:58.199
for flying into yet it will make it six hundred.

1839
01:46:58.239 --> 01:47:03.479
It's a deal. Oh right, I'll make the arrangements. Yeah,

1840
01:47:03.560 --> 01:47:06.520
you can expect me in about about seven hours if

1841
01:47:06.560 --> 01:47:10.920
everything goes all right. Yeah fine, I have that six

1842
01:47:11.039 --> 01:47:28.960
hundred waiting for me. I'll need it at Mantella. Mm hmm.

1843
01:47:30.399 --> 01:47:35.640
And let's see north and northeast thirteen degrees and then

1844
01:47:35.760 --> 01:47:39.760
tell lies in that direction. I'm gonna buck ahead wind

1845
01:47:39.800 --> 01:47:43.880
most of the way. I'm afraid and mountains worry me dangerous.

1846
01:47:45.359 --> 01:47:49.560
Let's see now this way is Sania.

1847
01:47:51.159 --> 01:47:53.720
No, not that way for me?

1848
01:47:55.680 --> 01:48:00.720
If I ever ended up in Santia, right, wouldn't want

1849
01:48:00.760 --> 01:48:02.920
to bet anything on my chances of getting to that

1850
01:48:03.119 --> 01:48:09.920
place coming out to tell about it. M hm m

1851
01:48:10.119 --> 01:48:22.439
hm hm. I can't stay up here much longer. That

1852
01:48:22.640 --> 01:48:25.560
sandstorm over the desert's getting worse every minute. I can't

1853
01:48:25.600 --> 01:48:30.000
see a thing down there like his peace soup. Oh confounded,

1854
01:48:30.039 --> 01:48:34.479
There goes the motor choked up with sand. Yeah, here goes.

1855
01:48:35.600 --> 01:48:38.479
I can't see where I'm heading, but maybe I can

1856
01:48:38.560 --> 01:48:57.600
bring her in on her belly war drums, trouble. I

1857
01:48:57.680 --> 01:49:00.760
have been pounding in my ears for hours. Oh, my

1858
01:49:00.880 --> 01:49:05.079
eyes blinded. But that awful sand storm. I can't see

1859
01:49:06.199 --> 01:49:07.159
whether it's a dead or night.

1860
01:49:08.520 --> 01:49:08.960
Oh I know.

1861
01:49:09.119 --> 01:49:11.039
Is that someone found me out there on that desert

1862
01:49:11.079 --> 01:49:15.760
and brought me here? Is that someone? Someone there?

1863
01:49:16.039 --> 01:49:20.239
I have come to take you through the King will

1864
01:49:20.279 --> 01:49:23.079
be placed in the den of the leopards.

1865
01:49:23.439 --> 01:49:23.880
Leopards.

1866
01:49:24.199 --> 01:49:28.359
It is our custom here to feed uninvited guests as

1867
01:49:28.399 --> 01:49:31.279
a sacrifice to the leopards of the pit.

1868
01:49:31.479 --> 01:49:31.920
What is this?

1869
01:49:32.760 --> 01:49:34.720
It nears the time of the full moon.

1870
01:49:36.159 --> 01:49:40.439
When the moon is full, it's rays affect our leopards,

1871
01:49:40.960 --> 01:49:46.720
maddens and makes them vicious me uncontrol. Only the flesh

1872
01:49:46.800 --> 01:49:52.239
of man will quiet, and only the king can perform

1873
01:49:52.359 --> 01:49:59.039
the ceremony for sacrifice. King what King dingels Sentia? Am

1874
01:49:59.119 --> 01:50:00.520
I it's SENTI you are.

1875
01:50:02.079 --> 01:50:06.960
Yes, you have come. A white man is forbidden. But

1876
01:50:07.119 --> 01:50:09.119
my plane was forced down on the desert. I was

1877
01:50:09.199 --> 01:50:12.000
purposely avoiding Santia. I was trying to reach Mantella. You

1878
01:50:12.119 --> 01:50:15.119
wort five hundred miles from Mantella. But I can't be

1879
01:50:15.680 --> 01:50:17.560
I was only in that storm for a few hours.

1880
01:50:18.000 --> 01:50:23.359
M has been raging for three days. Three days. Why

1881
01:50:23.479 --> 01:50:26.439
I've been only two hours on the desert. The storm

1882
01:50:26.520 --> 01:50:28.920
came up only a few hours ago. The entire desert

1883
01:50:29.039 --> 01:50:31.600
has been covered with a storm for three days. I

1884
01:50:31.680 --> 01:50:32.439
don't understand.

1885
01:50:32.680 --> 01:50:37.920
You were discovered only because the Hona has once again

1886
01:50:38.119 --> 01:50:43.840
displayed her temper towards her father, daughter of King Janasi.

1887
01:50:45.039 --> 01:50:48.800
It's been arranged that Theanna was to wed within the

1888
01:50:49.000 --> 01:50:55.039
changing of the moon. Theanna has reveled, and you attempted

1889
01:50:55.159 --> 01:50:57.840
to flee Santia through the desert storm.

1890
01:50:58.560 --> 01:51:04.560
She was followed. She were discovered there with you. Then

1891
01:51:04.720 --> 01:51:05.359
she found me.

1892
01:51:05.640 --> 01:51:09.039
Yes, the two of you will return here the tear

1893
01:51:09.119 --> 01:51:13.560
to the village. Oh, it will come with me.

1894
01:51:15.479 --> 01:51:16.359
I can't see a thing.

1895
01:51:16.520 --> 01:51:17.840
Is the justice of Santia.

1896
01:51:17.920 --> 01:51:21.279
What do you mean you have to guide me and

1897
01:51:21.800 --> 01:51:22.880
take my arm?

1898
01:51:24.760 --> 01:51:24.800
No?

1899
01:51:25.720 --> 01:51:32.880
All right, let's go this way? How far right? Anama

1900
01:51:32.960 --> 01:51:33.760
Hush said, what's the matter?

1901
01:51:33.880 --> 01:51:35.119
Canamahs tam a Hossey?

1902
01:51:35.119 --> 01:51:38.439
What fundre you talking about? There in a sand Canama Hussey?

1903
01:51:38.800 --> 01:51:39.000
Pig?

1904
01:51:39.119 --> 01:51:40.359
What I told you? I can't see me?

1905
01:51:40.640 --> 01:51:41.960
What Canama hassee? Pig?

1906
01:51:42.079 --> 01:51:44.640
Leppard foot follow my man leopard.

1907
01:51:44.760 --> 01:51:45.920
Yes, they're in the sand.

1908
01:51:46.319 --> 01:51:49.600
Leopard tracks followed by man tracks. Come, Hiraate, waits a minute.

1909
01:51:49.640 --> 01:51:50.319
We must hurry.

1910
01:51:50.600 --> 01:51:54.960
Evil spirits that loose against my old Hannema Hassei big lewards,

1911
01:51:55.119 --> 01:51:56.399
come we hurried.

1912
01:52:04.439 --> 01:52:10.520
I have brought you the prisoner, wise one prisoner. Look here?

1913
01:52:10.680 --> 01:52:14.359
What is this? You have come? Mister Thurman? Where you

1914
01:52:14.399 --> 01:52:14.720
are not?

1915
01:52:16.000 --> 01:52:18.600
I tried to tell you flunky here that I didn't

1916
01:52:18.600 --> 01:52:21.000
come to sands here purposely. I was headed for Mantella.

1917
01:52:21.479 --> 01:52:24.920
Not a very wise man, mister Gorman, to make such

1918
01:52:24.960 --> 01:52:29.119
an non wise statement. And Telly is half a thousand

1919
01:52:29.199 --> 01:52:29.880
miles from you.

1920
01:52:30.119 --> 01:52:32.359
No, I got off my course. I ran into a sandstorm.

1921
01:52:32.439 --> 01:52:35.039
My plane was forced down a lack. But it's true

1922
01:52:35.439 --> 01:52:37.920
I was blinded by the sand. I'm still blind. If

1923
01:52:37.960 --> 01:52:39.159
you have a doctor, I'm.

1924
01:52:40.840 --> 01:52:41.119
Blind.

1925
01:52:41.720 --> 01:52:45.800
I am I need medical attention right away. It is

1926
01:52:45.920 --> 01:52:49.399
the justice of what are you talking about?

1927
01:52:51.119 --> 01:52:53.560
Should a white man look up on the countenance of

1928
01:52:53.720 --> 01:52:56.840
Princess Yana's I shall be blind.

1929
01:52:57.119 --> 01:52:59.439
I don't know what you're talking about, Nazi. I've never

1930
01:52:59.479 --> 01:53:02.720
seen your We've found you with her on the descercald

1931
01:53:02.760 --> 01:53:05.479
I was unconscious when you found me, but she was

1932
01:53:05.680 --> 01:53:07.680
with you. Then she found the same spot where I

1933
01:53:07.720 --> 01:53:12.159
took refuge. We are not fool share, mister darmand fools.

1934
01:53:12.720 --> 01:53:17.239
I don't understand. It is so ridiculously evidence. What's so evident?

1935
01:53:18.159 --> 01:53:20.439
I have met complete arrangements for my daughter the web.

1936
01:53:21.159 --> 01:53:23.399
She has refused to marry as I wish her to.

1937
01:53:24.159 --> 01:53:27.760
Last night she fled from Santia, and when we found her,

1938
01:53:28.119 --> 01:53:28.960
she was with you.

1939
01:53:29.239 --> 01:53:30.199
What you think isn't true.

1940
01:53:30.239 --> 01:53:31.840
You had the rendezvous there with her.

1941
01:53:31.920 --> 01:53:36.479
No how many times should have met, I do not know.

1942
01:53:37.520 --> 01:53:40.479
But each meeting has been in complete defiance of the

1943
01:53:40.600 --> 01:53:41.720
laws of Santia.

1944
01:53:43.359 --> 01:53:45.880
No white man may look upon.

1945
01:53:45.800 --> 01:53:48.840
The count and ends of the pre night deny it.

1946
01:53:48.960 --> 01:53:49.840
I don't know your print.

1947
01:53:50.000 --> 01:53:51.600
The evidence speaks for itself.

1948
01:53:52.920 --> 01:53:58.359
Blind on the sandstone, because the gods are venge I

1949
01:53:58.479 --> 01:54:00.880
tell you the Scian blinded me. It's only temporary.

1950
01:54:00.920 --> 01:54:02.159
It was written ages ago.

1951
01:54:03.039 --> 01:54:07.560
Whatever white man looks upon the countenance of Santia princess

1952
01:54:08.119 --> 01:54:10.600
will be doomed forever doing time out.

1953
01:54:11.159 --> 01:54:14.119
It's not eternal. It's sand blindness. It happens to lots

1954
01:54:14.159 --> 01:54:16.199
of men who get caught in sandstones. All I need

1955
01:54:16.319 --> 01:54:16.439
is a.

1956
01:54:16.880 --> 01:54:19.439
Dark can cure the blindness and down.

1957
01:54:19.479 --> 01:54:21.800
But the God give me a chance. I may be

1958
01:54:21.880 --> 01:54:23.720
blind permanently if you don't let a doctor look in

1959
01:54:23.800 --> 01:54:30.159
my eyes. Change gassi. Oh, doctor approaches.

1960
01:54:31.720 --> 01:54:32.960
My daughter and my father?

1961
01:54:33.680 --> 01:54:40.399
My father, have you heard what he was in the

1962
01:54:40.479 --> 01:54:43.239
campan game last night? Let could put prince on near

1963
01:54:43.319 --> 01:54:47.840
your heart? Followed by many Marcy's spirit again in the

1964
01:54:47.920 --> 01:54:48.600
full of the moon.

1965
01:54:48.800 --> 01:54:54.520
I saw them too many tracks big we most tell

1966
01:54:54.600 --> 01:54:58.039
the wise ones. They would work a charm to protect us.

1967
01:54:59.560 --> 01:55:07.319
Must oh look chilence, my daughter, Yeah, yeah.

1968
01:55:08.079 --> 01:55:08.800
He's a white man.

1969
01:55:10.119 --> 01:55:13.720
Look you at his face and tell me where have

1970
01:55:13.840 --> 01:55:14.640
you seen him before?

1971
01:55:16.439 --> 01:55:16.840
My child?

1972
01:55:17.720 --> 01:55:20.279
Right, I do not know him.

1973
01:55:21.760 --> 01:55:23.920
I've never seen him before.

1974
01:55:23.680 --> 01:55:30.199
But my king I saw them together. Most wise, my

1975
01:55:30.359 --> 01:55:34.680
daughter what most wise? To deny your foreign enough?

1976
01:55:35.000 --> 01:55:37.039
But I'm not her lover. I've never seen her. I

1977
01:55:37.079 --> 01:55:38.000
can't even see her now.

1978
01:55:38.239 --> 01:55:43.119
The American is blind enough because he has broken the law,

1979
01:55:43.840 --> 01:55:46.680
because he has looked upon the face of the Princess

1980
01:55:46.680 --> 01:55:47.279
of Santia.

1981
01:55:47.880 --> 01:55:51.000
The gods have blinded him. It's not true. I've never

1982
01:55:51.079 --> 01:55:53.680
seen her face. Ask her, she'll tell you it's not true.

1983
01:55:53.800 --> 01:55:55.880
He go back to the prison mate.

1984
01:55:55.960 --> 01:55:59.520
Wait there toil the body of wise ones in George.

1985
01:55:59.560 --> 01:56:00.479
One of his drive.

1986
01:56:05.119 --> 01:56:08.159
H m h m hmmm.

1987
01:56:10.680 --> 01:56:15.760
Mm hmm. The knife.

1988
01:56:16.000 --> 01:56:17.720
He's a nine huey on.

1989
01:56:20.319 --> 01:56:20.800
Mm hm.

1990
01:56:22.319 --> 01:56:23.680
H m hm.

1991
01:56:29.479 --> 01:56:35.640
H h h h h h.

1992
01:56:37.479 --> 01:56:44.800
H those drums. He's still pounding. My eyes burning in

1993
01:56:44.880 --> 01:56:51.840
my head. If I could only find a little cool water. Yeah,

1994
01:56:53.800 --> 01:56:57.359
I wonder where I am. King told you I'm to

1995
01:56:57.399 --> 01:56:59.119
take me to the prison, but instead he brought me

1996
01:56:59.199 --> 01:57:10.279
here here where m hm, somewhere off in the open, bushes,

1997
01:57:10.319 --> 01:57:15.760
shrubbery all around it. Wait a minute, what's that a

1998
01:57:15.920 --> 01:57:21.640
light up there through the trees. A light? Why it's

1999
01:57:21.640 --> 01:57:26.359
a star. I can see. I can see again, one lonely,

2000
01:57:26.520 --> 01:57:30.680
single little star in a sky of heavy clouds. There

2001
01:57:32.199 --> 01:57:38.960
coming over the ridge, the full moon. What's that? Someone

2002
01:57:39.720 --> 01:57:43.560
something there in those bushes? Is someone there.

2003
01:57:45.840 --> 01:57:46.199
Who is it.

2004
01:57:47.319 --> 01:57:48.479
Princess Sanna, do not.

2005
01:57:48.520 --> 01:57:49.479
Speak too loudly.

2006
01:57:49.960 --> 01:57:50.640
Why are you here?

2007
01:57:51.119 --> 01:57:53.920
I came to see you. I went first to the prison,

2008
01:57:54.439 --> 01:57:57.800
but it was empty. Then I knew there had been chickery.

2009
01:57:58.600 --> 01:58:02.680
Jvan did not do when I order, no, drop me

2010
01:58:02.800 --> 01:58:06.920
here instead. When are we on the edge of the corner,

2011
01:58:07.279 --> 01:58:11.720
the connor the precipice. Yes, tis hundreds of feet over

2012
01:58:11.760 --> 01:58:17.000
the side of the corner. Listen this rock, I will

2013
01:58:17.159 --> 01:58:17.439
show you.

2014
01:58:22.680 --> 01:58:24.199
One knew you were blind.

2015
01:58:25.439 --> 01:58:29.560
He left you here alone, knowing you would eventually wander

2016
01:58:29.600 --> 01:58:32.119
over the edge and be crushed on the jagged rocks

2017
01:58:32.159 --> 01:58:35.720
down there. He could not wait for the sacrifice.

2018
01:58:36.560 --> 01:58:37.279
Sacrifice.

2019
01:58:37.520 --> 01:58:42.399
Yes, with each fullness of the moon, the leopards in

2020
01:58:42.479 --> 01:58:45.560
the pitus on Tea become madly enraged.

2021
01:58:46.439 --> 01:58:50.039
The wise men say the moon rays affects them. They

2022
01:58:50.119 --> 01:58:53.760
must be appeased by the flesh of a.

2023
01:58:53.840 --> 01:58:59.279
Human, and the moon will soon be full again. Yes, Donaldo,

2024
01:59:01.960 --> 01:59:07.199
pleasant thought. But Ivanne could not wait. He years all americanus,

2025
01:59:07.560 --> 01:59:09.479
so he brought you here to be a victim.

2026
01:59:09.199 --> 01:59:11.479
Of the Khanah nice fellow.

2027
01:59:12.239 --> 01:59:16.239
I despise him, My father says I must marry him.

2028
01:59:16.359 --> 01:59:19.600
You mean you don't mean you're supposed to marry him.

2029
01:59:19.800 --> 01:59:21.159
Do you blame me for running away?

2030
01:59:21.319 --> 01:59:22.159
I certainly don't.

2031
01:59:22.479 --> 01:59:26.079
Even dead on the desert would have been deader than him.

2032
01:59:26.439 --> 01:59:28.079
Princess, Why have you come here?

2033
01:59:28.920 --> 01:59:33.840
Because I would not have you die as Ivan wishes?

2034
01:59:34.159 --> 01:59:34.920
How did you find me?

2035
01:59:35.479 --> 01:59:36.199
I have ways?

2036
01:59:36.560 --> 01:59:36.800
Tell me?

2037
01:59:37.560 --> 01:59:39.600
Evan said, the storm on the desert had been blowing

2038
01:59:39.680 --> 01:59:42.840
for three days? Is that true? Is it is true?

2039
01:59:43.640 --> 01:59:46.239
But I was only an hour and a half journey

2040
01:59:46.279 --> 01:59:48.760
from San Filidor. I ran into the storm suddenly.

2041
01:59:49.000 --> 01:59:56.479
I cannot say about that. Snato your eyes you look

2042
01:59:56.600 --> 01:59:59.159
upon me as though as though you see me.

2043
01:59:59.560 --> 02:00:04.119
I you said, just come back. I'm not glad I

2044
02:00:04.199 --> 02:00:04.840
can see again.

2045
02:00:05.039 --> 02:00:11.000
No, I mean, oh, yes, that to know to look upon.

2046
02:00:10.920 --> 02:00:13.840
My faith nonsense, it's all a lot of tribe.

2047
02:00:17.159 --> 02:00:17.680
Evil leopard.

2048
02:00:18.319 --> 02:00:20.199
Oh look here, what is this evil spirit?

2049
02:00:21.520 --> 02:00:24.479
Leopard? But if it goes tracks always followed by those

2050
02:00:24.560 --> 02:00:26.720
of men they killed there full of morn.

2051
02:00:26.800 --> 02:00:31.680
A leopard man, because he is a leopard man. Have

2052
02:00:31.800 --> 02:00:37.319
you ever seen him? Come on, that's right over here someplace,

2053
02:00:37.399 --> 02:00:38.199
And now don't have care.

2054
02:00:38.560 --> 02:00:39.520
If he is an evil.

2055
02:00:40.880 --> 02:00:43.399
You have any kind of a weapon, give it to me.

2056
02:00:43.920 --> 02:00:46.439
No weapons will hunt him as I will.

2057
02:00:46.279 --> 02:00:50.079
See wait the clouds. Oh there he is over there.

2058
02:00:51.560 --> 02:00:56.079
Defun o O look at him. He would die.

2059
02:00:56.640 --> 02:00:58.920
We must take him back to the villain's unconscious jule

2060
02:01:00.479 --> 02:01:01.560
when not task you, who's that?

2061
02:01:03.520 --> 02:01:07.680
Advance to your hut, remain there.

2062
02:01:08.720 --> 02:01:11.960
I fear the gods even now hired their faces from you.

2063
02:01:12.399 --> 02:01:17.399
But father, he vanished sadly ad once, Oh.

2064
02:01:18.119 --> 02:01:20.520
Mister man, this man needs attention. Put him out what

2065
02:01:20.880 --> 02:01:23.439
I said, put him down. But he's badly wounded by

2066
02:01:23.479 --> 02:01:26.720
the claws of an anime. Yes, he heard the animal screaming.

2067
02:01:27.159 --> 02:01:28.640
The princess tells me it's a leopard.

2068
02:01:28.680 --> 02:01:35.119
Man, it is Strowdmase, the evil spirit, a spirit which

2069
02:01:35.239 --> 02:01:40.560
takes possession of a man and changes him into a leopard.

2070
02:01:40.760 --> 02:01:46.199
Yes, but what man who we have not known up

2071
02:01:46.800 --> 02:01:49.640
to now? Up now?

2072
02:01:50.760 --> 02:01:58.960
Look at your hands. Mhm blood, Ye needs your nails.

2073
02:01:59.479 --> 02:02:03.600
But it is an evil disease, mister Turman. To bring

2074
02:02:03.720 --> 02:02:07.359
it here among us, he is still more evil. But

2075
02:02:07.520 --> 02:02:09.760
I say, look here, do you think I did that

2076
02:02:09.840 --> 02:02:13.840
a bit? Look at your hand so no, you're wrong.

2077
02:02:14.239 --> 02:02:15.159
It's Evan's blood.

2078
02:02:15.199 --> 02:02:15.560
So it is.

2079
02:02:15.920 --> 02:02:17.319
I got it on my hands when I try to

2080
02:02:17.359 --> 02:02:17.600
help you.

2081
02:02:17.680 --> 02:02:23.039
Put him down, mister Turman, I do not try to escape,

2082
02:02:24.239 --> 02:02:25.720
then will be returned to the camp.

2083
02:02:26.600 --> 02:02:27.560
Our medicine men.

2084
02:02:27.600 --> 02:02:30.560
Will heal him. Oh, will go with me?

2085
02:02:31.039 --> 02:02:35.680
Now where your spirit? What's be destroyed?

2086
02:02:38.800 --> 02:02:40.640
Mm hmmmm.

2087
02:02:41.840 --> 02:02:42.279
Mm hm.

2088
02:02:44.199 --> 02:02:45.640
Hm m hm.

2089
02:02:50.119 --> 02:02:53.560
You have held division of our head there is mister tarman.

2090
02:02:54.720 --> 02:02:57.960
You are guilty of the most power scene against us.

2091
02:02:58.920 --> 02:03:05.399
You must pay the penalty, and your unfortunate daughter are

2092
02:03:05.520 --> 02:03:06.880
equally easy with him.

2093
02:03:08.000 --> 02:03:11.640
I cannot pay for you. The law is so written.

2094
02:03:12.399 --> 02:03:14.039
You have seen two yana.

2095
02:03:14.720 --> 02:03:22.199
Tomorrow night, the two of you shall perish. Mm hmmm.

2096
02:03:24.239 --> 02:03:32.960
Mm hmmm mm hmmahah.

2097
02:03:35.720 --> 02:03:40.600
The stone stairway leads to the leopard pit. The two

2098
02:03:40.680 --> 02:03:42.000
of you row.

2099
02:03:42.000 --> 02:03:48.800
First, come another deep taith and thinking of you Ianna

2100
02:03:50.840 --> 02:03:54.840
yah yah.

2101
02:03:57.560 --> 02:03:58.960
H h.

2102
02:04:03.039 --> 02:04:05.720
H h.

2103
02:04:11.199 --> 02:04:15.319
This pitches a hundred feet into the earth.

2104
02:04:16.439 --> 02:04:17.720
We're halfway down there.

2105
02:04:18.960 --> 02:04:22.319
Look up above us, good Lord, This pit is immense,

2106
02:04:22.760 --> 02:04:26.520
huge and wrong. Yes, you look up there. All the

2107
02:04:26.600 --> 02:04:29.159
tribes people send to your perched around its ridge, peering

2108
02:04:29.279 --> 02:04:33.560
down to watch this tacrify. How can they see down here?

2109
02:04:33.600 --> 02:04:36.159
It's pitch dark. Can hardly make our way in the blackness.

2110
02:04:36.359 --> 02:04:40.319
Soon the full moon will be directly above the pitch.

2111
02:04:41.319 --> 02:04:44.199
It is only when the moon is full, that its

2112
02:04:44.359 --> 02:04:49.319
rays rich here into the tat, and its beams madden

2113
02:04:49.479 --> 02:04:50.119
the leopards.

2114
02:04:51.199 --> 02:04:53.319
I see the beasts, now, two of them. There's a

2115
02:04:53.399 --> 02:04:57.199
man down there with them, petting them. Look your father, No,

2116
02:04:57.439 --> 02:05:02.920
he's a white man. M I too am white, but

2117
02:05:03.079 --> 02:05:04.319
I am not his daughter.

2118
02:05:05.560 --> 02:05:09.119
He has been king of Dantia for many years. He

2119
02:05:09.319 --> 02:05:13.520
stole me when I was an infant at Montayla because

2120
02:05:13.520 --> 02:05:18.319
he wanted a white princess's coming over the edge of

2121
02:05:18.359 --> 02:05:25.840
the pit. The people up there canzias. Now you see

2122
02:05:26.760 --> 02:05:28.640
the moon rays affects the beasts.

2123
02:05:28.760 --> 02:05:32.520
Quickly move one down through the pit's bottom.

2124
02:05:33.159 --> 02:05:35.159
Come, Donaldo h.

2125
02:05:44.479 --> 02:05:47.319
Iana, there must be some escape for you.

2126
02:05:47.680 --> 02:05:50.439
I am not afraid, Donaldo noh.

2127
02:05:50.560 --> 02:05:52.000
Isn't there any way to escape?

2128
02:05:55.359 --> 02:05:56.279
Only one?

2129
02:05:57.600 --> 02:06:01.760
An impossible one? What does he mean?

2130
02:06:02.159 --> 02:06:05.319
It has always been a belief if the prisoners are

2131
02:06:05.399 --> 02:06:09.159
not truly guilty, the leopards will not harm them.

2132
02:06:14.239 --> 02:06:17.800
There the full moon is directly over the pit. I

2133
02:06:18.119 --> 02:06:23.159
remain here, you too, through this irony is.

2134
02:06:25.640 --> 02:06:25.880
Come.

2135
02:06:29.800 --> 02:06:34.520
There is only one margate now, the one that separates

2136
02:06:34.600 --> 02:06:35.520
us from the animals.

2137
02:06:36.960 --> 02:06:42.079
Come that man controls those animals of the full moon.

2138
02:06:42.680 --> 02:06:45.439
Then there is another way if we can keep away

2139
02:06:45.479 --> 02:06:47.640
from the animals until the moon has crossed the pit, No,

2140
02:06:48.000 --> 02:06:48.920
that would be ours.

2141
02:06:50.039 --> 02:06:52.119
Never will be released upon us any moment.

2142
02:06:54.840 --> 02:06:56.479
This is as far as we go.

2143
02:07:00.760 --> 02:07:06.319
Yeah, I don't know. Ye.

2144
02:07:06.960 --> 02:07:09.000
If I could only save you, there's no way.

2145
02:07:09.760 --> 02:07:10.199
Courage.

2146
02:07:10.640 --> 02:07:12.079
No, I'm not afraid for myself.

2147
02:07:12.239 --> 02:07:17.920
Oh oh die oh I offered you all for the

2148
02:07:18.000 --> 02:07:20.079
gods upping the game.

2149
02:07:21.039 --> 02:07:21.720
Where is he yelping?

2150
02:07:22.079 --> 02:07:22.720
Look the moon?

2151
02:07:24.119 --> 02:07:24.720
He is gone.

2152
02:07:26.560 --> 02:07:28.680
No no, I didn't have it behind the clough.

2153
02:07:30.880 --> 02:07:34.399
And do you kill you?

2154
02:07:35.439 --> 02:07:40.119
Oh no, no, no, do.

2155
02:07:42.159 --> 02:08:11.560
Join me? No, do stand to see you have heard

2156
02:08:11.680 --> 02:08:15.199
the thing from the Darkness. Tonight's original Tale of dark

2157
02:08:15.319 --> 02:08:19.800
Patasay by Scott Bishop, originating in the studios of w K. Y.

2158
02:08:21.720 --> 02:08:25.640
Ben Marris was heard tonight as Donald Thurmon. Eleanor Naylorcarran

2159
02:08:25.760 --> 02:08:29.560
was Princess Eanna. Fred Wayne played King Tanase and your

2160
02:08:29.640 --> 02:08:30.560
hype was Yvonne.

2161
02:08:34.159 --> 02:08:38.600
I think savoring your time of year is very important.

2162
02:08:38.720 --> 02:08:45.199
It's why holidays are soul beil. It makes sense, you know.

2163
02:08:46.439 --> 02:08:49.079
We get used to everything. We get used to our

2164
02:08:50.199 --> 02:08:53.039
nights and our evenings and our days. We get used

2165
02:08:53.039 --> 02:08:56.079
to our jobs and our friends. We get used to well.

2166
02:08:57.199 --> 02:09:01.680
The air in our lungs. So hard for anything to

2167
02:09:01.760 --> 02:09:07.319
be special after so long. But when a day is special,

2168
02:09:07.399 --> 02:09:11.680
when a time is special, it breaks apart the monotony

2169
02:09:12.520 --> 02:09:17.640
and allows you to appreciate the moment that much more

2170
02:09:18.760 --> 02:09:22.520
so that you don't waste your time, or worse, you

2171
02:09:22.640 --> 02:09:26.199
don't commit murder in haste.

2172
02:09:27.239 --> 02:09:46.039
The Signal Oil Program, the Chistler, that is your signal

2173
02:09:46.920 --> 02:09:47.640
oil program.

2174
02:10:09.159 --> 02:10:13.479
I am the Whistler, and I know many things. For

2175
02:10:13.640 --> 02:10:14.600
I walk by night.

2176
02:10:15.359 --> 02:10:18.600
I know many strange tales hidden in the hearts of

2177
02:10:18.760 --> 02:10:21.399
men and women who have stepped into the shadows.

2178
02:10:22.319 --> 02:10:27.279
Yes, I know the nameless terrors of which they dare

2179
02:10:27.479 --> 02:10:28.279
not speak.

2180
02:10:34.239 --> 02:10:38.560
Yes, friends, it's time for the Whistler, rated by independent research,

2181
02:10:38.720 --> 02:10:43.279
the most popular West Coast program. And remember, let every

2182
02:10:43.399 --> 02:10:47.399
traffic signal remind you with new signal gasoline you do

2183
02:10:47.680 --> 02:10:51.039
go farther than ever. Look for the familiar big yellow

2184
02:10:51.119 --> 02:10:55.159
and black circle sign that identifies those popular signal service

2185
02:10:55.199 --> 02:10:58.840
stations in seven Western states from Canada to Mexico.

2186
02:11:00.720 --> 02:11:06.159
And now the Whistler's strange story Murder in Haste.

2187
02:11:13.920 --> 02:11:18.720
Albert Taylor was two people to the Cafe Society crowd

2188
02:11:18.760 --> 02:11:21.359
in Miami. He was the charming young husband of a

2189
02:11:21.479 --> 02:11:26.399
silver fortune from Denver, aged forty five, amply mature, and

2190
02:11:26.479 --> 02:11:30.720
a little crotchety. To his wife Helen the silver fortune,

2191
02:11:31.039 --> 02:11:34.960
he was something else again, an unpleasant little boy whose

2192
02:11:35.039 --> 02:11:38.239
unpleasantness had to be bought off with hundred dollar bills

2193
02:11:38.880 --> 02:11:41.920
instead of chewing gum was made for friction.

2194
02:11:42.119 --> 02:11:44.159
Of course, after.

2195
02:11:44.119 --> 02:11:47.359
Three years of marriage, Helen was heartily sick of both

2196
02:11:47.479 --> 02:11:51.560
Albert's and more careful with the hundred dollar Billhoos and

2197
02:11:51.720 --> 02:11:55.079
Elbert too had reached the saturation point. As a matter

2198
02:11:55.199 --> 02:11:57.800
of fact, the unpleasant little boy was on the verge

2199
02:11:57.840 --> 02:11:58.560
of a tantrum.

2200
02:12:00.279 --> 02:12:01.640
Elvers, Is that you?

2201
02:12:02.119 --> 02:12:03.680
Yeah, Elvers?

2202
02:12:04.600 --> 02:12:05.840
I'm awfully upset.

2203
02:12:06.359 --> 02:12:10.279
Oh what now? My bracelet, the diamond and Emerald room.

2204
02:12:10.640 --> 02:12:12.520
I put it in the drawer of my vanity.

2205
02:12:12.319 --> 02:12:13.720
Last night after the party.

2206
02:12:14.000 --> 02:12:15.840
Well what about it? It's gone.

2207
02:12:16.359 --> 02:12:19.880
I've questioned the servants and the as you call the police.

2208
02:12:20.399 --> 02:12:24.359
No good, what do you mean?

2209
02:12:24.760 --> 02:12:27.680
I told you i'd get money somewhere, Helen, you of

2210
02:12:27.800 --> 02:12:30.840
course I took it, I see, And what did you

2211
02:12:30.880 --> 02:12:31.119
do with it?

2212
02:12:31.199 --> 02:12:33.439
I sold it? Of course? What do you expect? I

2213
02:12:33.560 --> 02:12:34.880
think I'm going to sit up and beg you for

2214
02:12:34.920 --> 02:12:37.680
every time I need five dollars. Sure that's what you want,

2215
02:12:37.760 --> 02:12:40.760
isn't it. Come on, come on, watch Albert the train terrier.

2216
02:12:41.039 --> 02:12:43.880
He sleeps, walks, talks, thinks like a human being. Enough

2217
02:12:44.319 --> 02:12:46.760
you better, it's enough. I'm sick of it. I'm through

2218
02:12:46.920 --> 02:12:48.439
being your favorite charity.

2219
02:12:48.680 --> 02:12:50.960
You do know how right you are?

2220
02:12:51.960 --> 02:12:54.520
What does that mean? It's very simple.

2221
02:12:55.119 --> 02:12:57.359
I'm going to call the police and tell them you've

2222
02:12:57.560 --> 02:12:58.840
stolen my bracelet.

2223
02:12:58.960 --> 02:13:00.079
Wait a minute, don't be rich it.

2224
02:13:00.199 --> 02:13:01.399
Keep straight from give me.

2225
02:13:01.439 --> 02:13:03.039
That phone for you.

2226
02:13:04.680 --> 02:13:06.600
It's a disagreeable.

2227
02:13:08.079 --> 02:13:08.960
Do you want to watch me?

2228
02:13:09.560 --> 02:13:10.680
You want to crack the weapon?

2229
02:13:10.760 --> 02:13:11.800
Watch me jump.

2230
02:13:13.960 --> 02:13:18.079
Go feet to ours. I'd like to shake you unto.

2231
02:13:19.800 --> 02:13:20.159
Thee.

2232
02:13:35.560 --> 02:13:39.640
Well, Albert, why don't you do something? Why don't you

2233
02:13:39.720 --> 02:13:41.640
go over there to the heart and help her up?

2234
02:13:42.279 --> 02:13:45.000
Or perhaps you're not as dazed as you look standing

2235
02:13:45.119 --> 02:13:47.920
there in the middle of the room. Maybe even now

2236
02:13:48.039 --> 02:13:51.439
you realize Helen isn't going to get up because she

2237
02:13:51.560 --> 02:13:54.000
struck her temple on the end and when you held

2238
02:13:54.039 --> 02:13:59.600
her across the room. Yeah, Albert, she's lying there, so

2239
02:13:59.800 --> 02:14:03.479
they still because she's.

2240
02:14:04.800 --> 02:14:05.039
Dead.

2241
02:14:12.720 --> 02:14:20.800
And with the prologue of Tonight's story, Murder in Haste,

2242
02:14:21.399 --> 02:14:25.079
the Signal Oil Company brings you another strange story by

2243
02:14:25.239 --> 02:14:30.039
the Whistler. When you see those big New Signal billboards

2244
02:14:30.079 --> 02:14:31.479
that say go.

2245
02:14:31.800 --> 02:14:35.039
Farther than ever with New Signal.

2246
02:14:34.760 --> 02:14:39.279
Gasoline, remember it's power that puts more mile age into

2247
02:14:39.399 --> 02:14:44.319
New Signal Gasoline. Amazingly increase power the chemists created by

2248
02:14:44.399 --> 02:14:49.319
actually rearranging the atoms in gasoline molecules. You'll notice signals

2249
02:14:49.399 --> 02:14:51.680
power first in the way your motor springs to life

2250
02:14:51.720 --> 02:14:54.880
the instant you touch the starter. You'll notice signal power

2251
02:14:54.960 --> 02:14:57.600
again in the way your car steps ahead in traffic

2252
02:14:57.680 --> 02:15:00.640
with pickup that makes you proud. You'll notice it in

2253
02:15:00.680 --> 02:15:03.439
the knock free purr of your motor on hill steep

2254
02:15:03.479 --> 02:15:07.359
ones that you'll breeze up in high Yes, New Signal

2255
02:15:07.399 --> 02:15:10.319
Gasoline is packed with a kind of performance that makes

2256
02:15:10.399 --> 02:15:14.319
even old cars feel young again. But while you're enjoying

2257
02:15:14.359 --> 02:15:18.640
this performance, don't forget the amazing power and New Signal

2258
02:15:18.720 --> 02:15:23.079
gasoline that makes this performance possible. Also makes New Signal

2259
02:15:23.680 --> 02:15:27.359
more than ever the go Farther Gasoline.

2260
02:15:28.479 --> 02:15:30.520
And now back to the whistler.

2261
02:15:37.039 --> 02:15:54.640
Mm yeah, Albert, There'll be no more ugly squabbles over money,

2262
02:15:55.119 --> 02:15:58.520
no more jumping through hoops, for Helen because the last

2263
02:15:58.640 --> 02:16:02.880
argument was final. Wasn't it so final? That Helen lies

2264
02:16:03.079 --> 02:16:06.319
dead in front of the high A minute later, you've

2265
02:16:06.359 --> 02:16:09.720
decided I'm the only course of action possible. You leave

2266
02:16:09.760 --> 02:16:12.279
her in her bedroom and lock the door. The servants

2267
02:16:12.319 --> 02:16:15.199
in their separate quarters are used to your arguments and

2268
02:16:15.359 --> 02:16:20.279
probably have paid no attention. Two hours and twenty minutes later,

2269
02:16:20.399 --> 02:16:24.079
you're standing on the observation platform of the Limited Express

2270
02:16:24.199 --> 02:16:26.159
bound for Jacksonville in Points North.

2271
02:16:29.680 --> 02:16:33.879
Nice night, Oh I didn't hear you come up? Sorry?

2272
02:16:34.440 --> 02:16:38.040
I said it was a nice night. Yeah, yeah, I

2273
02:16:38.319 --> 02:16:40.479
saw you running for the train when we were pulling out.

2274
02:16:41.200 --> 02:16:43.239
Just made it, didn't you. Yeah, it's kind of close,

2275
02:16:43.319 --> 02:16:43.600
are right?

2276
02:16:46.079 --> 02:16:47.520
You've been in Miami long?

2277
02:16:48.159 --> 02:16:50.840
No, I've been fishing off the keys just a week

2278
02:16:50.959 --> 02:16:55.479
or so to see. My name's Ricketts.

2279
02:16:55.879 --> 02:16:56.399
I know you.

2280
02:16:56.719 --> 02:17:03.159
I'm Brown, Richard Brown. You going up to New York Brown?

2281
02:17:04.000 --> 02:17:04.479
That's right?

2282
02:17:06.159 --> 02:17:10.159
Well, I uh, I guess I'll be getting inside Ricketts.

2283
02:17:10.200 --> 02:17:12.079
Good idea, I'll go with you.

2284
02:17:22.479 --> 02:17:24.680
You knew at the minute he opened his mouth, didn't you.

2285
02:17:24.799 --> 02:17:29.040
Albert Ricketts is a plain clothes cop, and there can

2286
02:17:29.120 --> 02:17:31.239
be only one reason why he's so interested in you.

2287
02:17:31.959 --> 02:17:33.959
He's right behind you as you walk back through the

2288
02:17:34.040 --> 02:17:36.559
train to your seat, and you're wondering if you'll sit

2289
02:17:36.639 --> 02:17:39.280
beside you when you stop there. Then when you're ten

2290
02:17:39.399 --> 02:17:42.959
feet from it, it hits you. You realize why he's

2291
02:17:43.040 --> 02:17:46.319
following you. Your luggage with your initials et on it

2292
02:17:46.440 --> 02:17:48.840
is in the baggage rack over the seat, and Ricketts

2293
02:17:48.840 --> 02:17:50.959
is just waiting for you to stop there.

2294
02:17:51.639 --> 02:17:56.920
You'll hold your breath and keep on going. Uh Brown, Yeah,

2295
02:17:57.360 --> 02:17:58.280
isn't this your seat?

2296
02:17:58.559 --> 02:17:58.760
Why?

2297
02:17:59.520 --> 02:17:59.559
No?

2298
02:18:00.079 --> 02:18:00.200
Oh?

2299
02:18:00.280 --> 02:18:04.920
I have a compartment up ahead. Oh I see, Oh,

2300
02:18:05.000 --> 02:18:06.440
good night Brown, good night.

2301
02:18:14.840 --> 02:18:17.639
There's only one place to go, the club car and

2302
02:18:17.719 --> 02:18:22.600
the bar where you can sit for a minute and think. Yes, sir,

2303
02:18:22.959 --> 02:18:27.719
I make it to Manhattan, dry rye, Manhattan, right, thank you?

2304
02:18:28.399 --> 02:18:29.799
Oh is this your magazine here?

2305
02:18:29.840 --> 02:18:29.920
Sir?

2306
02:18:30.040 --> 02:18:30.079
What?

2307
02:18:30.559 --> 02:18:31.079
Oh? No?

2308
02:18:31.520 --> 02:18:31.559
No?

2309
02:18:32.559 --> 02:18:32.799
Sure?

2310
02:18:33.959 --> 02:18:36.000
Are you going to New York? Yes?

2311
02:18:36.479 --> 02:18:38.319
I want to be cool up there this time of year,

2312
02:18:38.680 --> 02:18:40.959
A lot of snow and all that. Yes, I suppose,

2313
02:18:41.040 --> 02:18:43.959
So you know, I'm as excited as a kid. I

2314
02:18:44.040 --> 02:18:46.440
haven't seen snow for an age. Matter of fact, I

2315
02:18:46.520 --> 02:18:50.200
haven't set foot in America for twell five years. It's

2316
02:18:50.239 --> 02:18:52.079
great to be back. I get a kick out of

2317
02:18:52.159 --> 02:18:56.040
just talking to Americans again. Yeah, I was sitting in

2318
02:18:56.120 --> 02:18:59.399
my compartment a few minutes ago, and you have a compartment.

2319
02:19:00.000 --> 02:19:01.559
Oh yeah, yeah, a couple of cars ahead.

2320
02:19:01.799 --> 02:19:08.680
Oh my name's Brown, mister Jamison, Leslie, Jamison, Jamison.

2321
02:19:09.280 --> 02:19:14.000
Wait a minute, jown up the mystery writer. I'm afraid

2322
02:19:14.040 --> 02:19:17.799
I am here, sirra man hands. Oh thank you, Well,

2323
02:19:18.600 --> 02:19:19.600
here's to you, mister.

2324
02:19:20.719 --> 02:19:21.200
What's the matter?

2325
02:19:22.840 --> 02:19:22.959
Oh?

2326
02:19:23.040 --> 02:19:27.719
Nothing, say see Jamison. Why don't we go to your

2327
02:19:27.840 --> 02:19:30.920
compartment be quieter there, we could have the drinks and.

2328
02:19:31.120 --> 02:19:32.479
Why of course you'd like.

2329
02:19:40.360 --> 02:19:43.840
Yeah, al, but the compartment would be quieter and you

2330
02:19:43.840 --> 02:19:47.200
would feel a little more comfortable, particularly since you noticed

2331
02:19:47.239 --> 02:19:50.079
your friend mister Ricketts stroll into the bar and sit down,

2332
02:19:50.600 --> 02:19:53.520
still hunting for the occupant of your seat. No doubt,

2333
02:19:54.440 --> 02:19:57.559
mister Jamison finds the compartment pleasanter too.

2334
02:19:58.959 --> 02:19:59.159
Well.

2335
02:19:59.239 --> 02:20:02.079
A man can't stay forever in Buenos Aire's and continue

2336
02:20:02.079 --> 02:20:04.600
to write for the American public. Has to keep in touch,

2337
02:20:04.680 --> 02:20:09.760
you know, don't you think so? Oh yes, yes, of course.

2338
02:20:10.600 --> 02:20:12.840
So you say you left Buenos Aires. Huh, yeah, it's

2339
02:20:12.879 --> 02:20:15.559
planned to anyway, but made it a little earlier on

2340
02:20:15.639 --> 02:20:18.319
a kind of that nasty business with my assistant. Yes,

2341
02:20:18.479 --> 02:20:20.520
I see. Oh, I'll probably go back in a year

2342
02:20:20.600 --> 02:20:22.840
or so. Did you ever read anything of mine?

2343
02:20:22.920 --> 02:20:23.159
Bron?

2344
02:20:23.600 --> 02:20:26.479
I can't say I've done much reading in the detective storyline.

2345
02:20:27.399 --> 02:20:29.239
You have a serial running in one of the magazines

2346
02:20:29.280 --> 02:20:32.959
right now, haven't you, Yes, Murder in haste. I don't

2347
02:20:32.959 --> 02:20:33.840
suppose you're reading it.

2348
02:20:34.239 --> 02:20:35.079
No, I'm sorry.

2349
02:20:35.120 --> 02:20:36.719
If i'd known I was going to meet the author,

2350
02:20:36.760 --> 02:20:37.639
i'd have bulled.

2351
02:20:37.440 --> 02:20:37.719
Up on it.

2352
02:20:37.840 --> 02:20:42.479
Oh, don't apologize, Bron. Well, how about a nightcap before

2353
02:20:42.520 --> 02:20:42.959
we turn in?

2354
02:20:43.040 --> 02:20:43.200
Eh?

2355
02:20:43.600 --> 02:20:46.239
Oh, it's early, Jamison. Surely you're not going to give

2356
02:20:46.319 --> 02:20:48.399
up the ship so soon. Well, I've got to confess

2357
02:20:48.440 --> 02:20:50.120
on a little bush I've.

2358
02:20:50.000 --> 02:20:51.879
Been writing on like a magpie all evening.

2359
02:20:52.360 --> 02:20:53.600
Yeah, there you are.

2360
02:20:54.000 --> 02:20:54.280
Thanks.

2361
02:20:55.280 --> 02:20:59.559
Ah, that's beautiful, brandly none better? Well Brown, What do

2362
02:20:59.639 --> 02:21:00.159
we drink too?

2363
02:21:00.559 --> 02:21:00.760
Oh?

2364
02:21:01.559 --> 02:21:01.760
I have?

2365
02:21:01.879 --> 02:21:07.399
It's a crime, Bron, mighty profitable business for me at least. Yeah,

2366
02:21:07.879 --> 02:21:15.040
here's the crime. Hey, you know that's a murder is

2367
02:21:15.120 --> 02:21:17.079
my business. And yet I've never in my life seen

2368
02:21:17.079 --> 02:21:19.440
a murdered man a thank, No ever been in a

2369
02:21:19.479 --> 02:21:23.879
police court, hardly ever known a policeman. I'm really sort

2370
02:21:23.920 --> 02:21:27.000
of a phony. When you get right down to it. Well, Brown,

2371
02:21:27.000 --> 02:21:29.120
it has been great talking to you. Tell me more

2372
02:21:29.120 --> 02:21:32.479
about your agents. You were saying you've never met him personally. Oh, Pharaoh,

2373
02:21:33.120 --> 02:21:35.680
he's a great agent. I've often wondered what he looks like.

2374
02:21:36.520 --> 02:21:38.399
Sometimes I think he must be a magician with a

2375
02:21:38.559 --> 02:21:42.000
long beard, the way he pulls royalties out of her hat.

2376
02:21:42.079 --> 02:21:42.399
Uh huh?

2377
02:21:42.879 --> 02:21:45.840
Who sold by leading character to a radio series?

2378
02:21:45.920 --> 02:21:49.719
Wow, you've never even been to New York never, Probably

2379
02:21:49.760 --> 02:21:51.360
the only man in the business who can say that.

2380
02:21:51.479 --> 02:21:53.399
Well, Brown, it's close to Josh.

2381
02:21:53.559 --> 02:21:56.479
What about the cereal you're running? Maybe you could bring

2382
02:21:56.520 --> 02:21:58.479
me up to date on it. I tell you about

2383
02:21:58.479 --> 02:22:03.840
it tomorrow, Brown, awfully tired. I'll see here. I don't

2384
02:22:03.920 --> 02:22:05.239
want to be rude, but I'll have to.

2385
02:22:05.319 --> 02:22:05.799
Ask you to.

2386
02:22:07.639 --> 02:22:08.440
But what what's back?

2387
02:22:08.479 --> 02:22:09.799
It's going to stop, stop.

2388
02:22:09.639 --> 02:22:09.719
And.

2389
02:22:20.479 --> 02:22:24.600
An open switch, a signal down, and the southbound local

2390
02:22:24.719 --> 02:22:27.079
is suddenly there on the same track without warning.

2391
02:22:28.040 --> 02:22:29.600
It's over in a split second.

2392
02:22:29.879 --> 02:22:31.120
And then you open your eyes.

2393
02:22:31.159 --> 02:22:32.799
Albert, you're all.

2394
02:22:32.760 --> 02:22:36.680
Right, miraculously safe in the tangled network of steel and

2395
02:22:36.760 --> 02:22:40.280
sprinted wood. That used to be a pullman car. And

2396
02:22:40.479 --> 02:22:45.440
there's Leslie Jamison. He wasn't so lucky Albert. There's nothing

2397
02:22:45.520 --> 02:22:46.360
you can do for him.

2398
02:22:46.479 --> 02:22:46.639
Now.

2399
02:22:47.680 --> 02:22:49.719
The other end of the coaches in flames, and they're

2400
02:22:49.760 --> 02:22:52.399
moving towards you. Finally you manage to get out.

2401
02:22:52.879 --> 02:22:56.680
Gotta get up through this window, watch this glass.

2402
02:22:56.920 --> 02:22:58.520
Let me help you give you a hand.

2403
02:23:01.319 --> 02:23:05.120
Oh thanks, all right, I think son a little Disney

2404
02:23:05.200 --> 02:23:09.520
for shuret oh to mister Brown. Oh rickets, you're lucky.

2405
02:23:09.600 --> 02:23:11.239
This coach got it worse the ball I got fire

2406
02:23:11.799 --> 02:23:13.840
got out justin John I Funny were drinking with at

2407
02:23:13.879 --> 02:23:15.559
the bar. What're your compartment with you? He's still in

2408
02:23:15.639 --> 02:23:18.639

2409
02:23:18.639 --> 02:23:20.079
his wife in Miami. Is he still there?

2410
02:23:20.520 --> 02:23:20.559
No?

2411
02:23:21.440 --> 02:23:23.680
No, he he left a few minutes before the crash.

2412
02:23:23.799 --> 02:23:25.399
Well you better get on ahead, mister Brown. I gotta

2413
02:23:25.399 --> 02:23:26.479
get my hand here. Can you make it up to

2414
02:23:26.520 --> 02:23:28.840
the crossing. There's a highway restaurant up there. Show sure.

2415
02:23:28.879 --> 02:23:30.120
I'm okay, thanks, okay.

2416
02:23:31.040 --> 02:23:43.440
Well, Albert, you stand there dazed for a minute, watching

2417
02:23:43.520 --> 02:23:44.920
the fire move closer.

2418
02:23:45.319 --> 02:23:46.799
Then you decide to take a chance.

2419
02:23:47.120 --> 02:23:50.799
Go back to Leslie Jamison's body, take his wallet, his ring,

2420
02:23:50.879 --> 02:23:53.760
and watch exchange them for your ring and watch.

2421
02:23:54.000 --> 02:23:57.200
Engraved to Elbert with all my love Helen.

2422
02:23:57.959 --> 02:24:01.040
Then, as the flames move close, in his briefcase and

2423
02:24:01.120 --> 02:24:03.600
bag and crawl out for him. Ten minutes later, you

2424
02:24:03.719 --> 02:24:10.120
stagger into the Highway restaurant, into the grade crossing, say one,

2425
02:24:10.159 --> 02:24:11.280
if you fellows can help.

2426
02:24:11.200 --> 02:24:13.520
Me, I hurt, mister, We got the doc in the

2427
02:24:13.559 --> 02:24:15.600
back room. Come on, no, no, I'm all right. I

2428
02:24:16.000 --> 02:24:17.200
just want to get out of here. I thought I

2429
02:24:17.239 --> 02:24:18.600
could hire a car, get a bus.

2430
02:24:18.680 --> 02:24:19.120
In New York.

2431
02:24:19.200 --> 02:24:21.479
You were in the wreck, yeah, they I'm the AP

2432
02:24:21.680 --> 02:24:23.280
correspondent here. Could you give me a name?

2433
02:24:23.959 --> 02:24:30.959
Uh, I'm Leslie Jameson. Say aren't you the fellow who

2434
02:24:30.959 --> 02:24:32.360
writes those murder mysteries? Yeah?

2435
02:24:32.399 --> 02:24:33.000
Yeah, that's right.

2436
02:24:33.399 --> 02:24:35.840
Well if they adn't a coincidence, Frank, only last night

2437
02:24:35.879 --> 02:24:37.360
you and me made that bet. Yeah, and now we

2438
02:24:37.399 --> 02:24:39.120
can settle it once and for all. Yeah, we was

2439
02:24:39.200 --> 02:24:41.079
betting which one would turn out to be the murder

2440
02:24:41.120 --> 02:24:43.319
in that Syria you're running in a post. Oh wow,

2441
02:24:43.440 --> 02:24:45.600
that's very flattering. Now I wonder if you could help

2442
02:24:45.639 --> 02:24:48.440
me about the bus I named mister Jamison. Could could

2443
02:24:48.440 --> 02:24:50.479
you give us an advanced tip on the murderer? Yeah?

2444
02:24:50.520 --> 02:24:52.040
Then we won't have to wait for the magazine to

2445
02:24:52.079 --> 02:24:54.760
come out tomorrow. Who wasn't mister Jamison? Pooh, well I

2446

Brown?

2454
02:25:13.200 --> 02:25:16.520
That's Leslie Jamison, the writer. Huh, I thought your name

2455
02:25:16.639 --> 02:25:19.959

2456
02:25:20.120 --> 02:25:20.559

Here's your coffee?

2458

Thanks so, mister Brown, I don't know how it is?

Oh, I get it.

02:25:40.319 --> 02:25:42.959
We've been reading mister Jamison cereal in the post murder

2463
02:25:43.040 --> 02:25:45.120
in Haste, had a little bit with Frank here on

2464
02:25:45.239 --> 02:25:45.920

2465
02:25:45.959 --> 02:25:47.799
Well, I can tell you that I read the last

2466
02:25:47.840 --> 02:25:51.600
installment last night. Yeah, sure, got it the newsstand in Miami. Well,

2467
02:25:51.639 --> 02:25:54.479

Yeah, Come on, Jamison.

2474
02:26:03.319 --> 02:26:06.200
Well it's a matter of ethics.

2475
02:26:06.319 --> 02:26:10.079
A writer in ethics, I know how it is. You're Jamison.

2476
02:26:10.280 --> 02:26:11.879
I can tell the boys. I got it straight from

02:26:11.920 --> 02:26:14.120

02:26:39.040 --> 02:26:40.040
Well it's your business.

You got hotel space in New York? Jameson, No, no, jet,

2492

You haven't been around much lately, I say, probably isn't

02:27:05.040 --> 02:27:08.120
a room that he had had that worse, But I

2495
02:27:08.159 --> 02:27:09.479

2496
02:27:09.520 --> 02:27:10.120
Midtown I.

02:27:10.559 --> 02:27:13.479

02:27:23.719 --> 02:27:24.079
M m.

2500
02:27:26.440 --> 02:27:27.200
Can you fix them up?

2501
02:27:27.200 --> 02:27:27.479
Waller?

2502
02:27:27.719 --> 02:27:31.440
Oh I think so. Just signed the register, mister Jamison,

2503
02:27:31.760 --> 02:27:33.000
Leslie Jamison, the writer.

2504
02:27:33.799 --> 02:27:34.639
Why didn't you say so?

2505
02:27:34.959 --> 02:27:37.719
Look, I don't want to put you out own nonsense.

2506
02:27:37.719 --> 02:27:41.479
We're honored, mister Jamison. I'm a mystery fan myself. I

2507
02:27:41.680 --> 02:27:43.479
want to tell you that murder and Haste has me

2508
02:27:43.600 --> 02:27:46.840
food right up to the last page. Oh, Peters, this

2509
02:27:47.120 --> 02:27:49.399
is mister Leslie Jamison. I get the boys over. I

2510
02:27:49.440 --> 02:27:51.559
want to take a few pictures. Pictures, No, no, no,

2511
02:27:51.600 --> 02:27:53.440
wait a minute. I don't want to know nothing to it,

2512
02:27:53.559 --> 02:27:55.760
mister Jamison. Just a couple of the boys in the

2513
02:27:55.760 --> 02:27:59.760
Star Express. I know you're tired, but it won't take long.

2514
02:28:00.159 --> 02:28:03.399
And Peters, have some flowers sent up to mister Jamison's room.

2515
02:28:03.680 --> 02:28:07.399
We'll have the pictures taken there. Peters is our press agent,

2516
02:28:07.440 --> 02:28:10.040
mister Jamison. He'll take care of you. Oh certainly will,

2517
02:28:10.079 --> 02:28:15.719
mister Jamison. Right this way. See look here, Peters, you

2518
02:28:15.879 --> 02:28:18.719
look like a reasonable man. I never have my picture

2519
02:28:18.760 --> 02:28:20.559
taken and I don't intend to stand for it.

2520
02:28:20.680 --> 02:28:22.040
Now, you just don't know.

2521
02:28:22.159 --> 02:28:25.319
New York News paper photographers, mister Jamison, it's much easier

2522
02:28:25.360 --> 02:28:27.760
if you give in. What will happen if I refuse?

2523
02:28:28.239 --> 02:28:38.520
You'll find out? And you did find out, didn't you, Elbt,

2524
02:28:38.879 --> 02:28:39.680
You were helpless.

2525
02:28:40.159 --> 02:28:43.360
There was nothing you could do. They came, they saw,

2526
02:28:43.559 --> 02:28:46.239
they took pictures, and all you could do was rage

2527
02:28:46.319 --> 02:28:47.840
and try to keep your face covered.

2528
02:28:48.760 --> 02:28:53.159
That only made a better story for them. They were delighted, Elbert.

2529
02:28:53.840 --> 02:28:56.360
The next day there are pictures of you in the tabloids,

2530
02:28:56.520 --> 02:29:00.840
hiding your face under the caption Leslie Jamison, mystery author

2531
02:29:01.360 --> 02:29:06.120
stages publicity scene in room at Midtown Hotel. And to

2532
02:29:06.200 --> 02:29:09.760
complete the success of your change of identity, the second

2533
02:29:09.799 --> 02:29:12.319
page of the same paper carries the news that you,

2534
02:29:12.760 --> 02:29:16.680
Albert Taylor, wanted for the murder of his wife in Miami,

2535
02:29:17.200 --> 02:29:21.159
perished in the train rate. You're all mixed up now,

2536
02:29:21.280 --> 02:29:24.440
aren't you, Albert. But you almost wish Helen was with

2537
02:29:24.559 --> 02:29:26.760
you again to make the decisions for you like she

2538
02:29:26.959 --> 02:29:29.520
used to, And then suddenly there's nothing for you to do.

2539
02:29:29.959 --> 02:29:38.239
The decision is all made, Yes, mister Jamison, Yes.

2540
02:29:38.399 --> 02:29:40.280
And missus Jamison is on our way up.

2541
02:29:41.159 --> 02:29:44.159
What your wife? I assumed it would be all right

2542
02:29:44.239 --> 02:29:44.799
to tell.

2543
02:29:44.760 --> 02:29:45.159
Us, sir?

2544
02:29:46.239 --> 02:29:54.639
Never mind? Hello, Leslie?

2545
02:29:56.399 --> 02:29:56.760
What are you?

2546
02:29:57.079 --> 02:30:01.239
Maybe i'd better commandm.

2547
02:30:01.200 --> 02:30:06.559
Well, well, what all right?

2548
02:30:06.600 --> 02:30:07.399
What you're gonna do about it?

2549
02:30:08.280 --> 02:30:12.959
You're an awfully simple thought, aren't you? Mister whatever your

2550
02:30:13.040 --> 02:30:13.360
name is?

2551
02:30:13.760 --> 02:30:14.920
All right? I suppose I am.

2552
02:30:15.399 --> 02:30:17.000
How did you expect to get away with it?

2553
02:30:17.079 --> 02:30:19.959
After all the publicity? All right?

2554
02:30:20.040 --> 02:30:20.399
Worthy?

2555
02:30:20.639 --> 02:30:21.200
What have you done?

2556
02:30:21.319 --> 02:30:21.440
Oh?

2557
02:30:21.479 --> 02:30:23.840
Wait a minute, missusjameis and I can explain, maybe you better.

2558
02:30:24.040 --> 02:30:26.120
Your husband was killed in that train wreck in Florida.

2559
02:30:27.079 --> 02:30:31.079
I had reasons for wanting to disappear, so I took

2560
02:30:31.120 --> 02:30:31.799
his identity.

2561
02:30:32.840 --> 02:30:34.040
You never meant to keep it up.

2562
02:30:35.040 --> 02:30:37.799
If you'll just guess what now? Look, there's nothing we

2563
02:30:37.840 --> 02:30:39.959
can do for your husband now he was killed. You

2564
02:30:40.040 --> 02:30:44.000
believe that, don't you. I'm going to leave town. All

2565
02:30:44.079 --> 02:30:47.040
I ask is that you forget you ever saw I see?

2566
02:30:49.600 --> 02:30:49.879
What do you?

2567
02:30:50.120 --> 02:30:50.719
What are you gonna do?

2568
02:30:51.600 --> 02:30:53.879
I I could go to the police.

2569
02:30:54.479 --> 02:30:58.520
Wait a minute, I can make it worth your while too.

2570
02:30:58.639 --> 02:31:02.719
Oh stop simpering? Does anyone know you here in New York?

2571
02:31:03.920 --> 02:31:08.680
That's very fortunate. You see, Well, Leslie and I we

2572
02:31:08.799 --> 02:31:11.200
didn't get along as a matter of fact, we'd been

2573
02:31:11.239 --> 02:31:13.840
separated for some time. He said he was cutting me

2574
02:31:13.879 --> 02:31:17.360
out of his will. So with Leslie dead, I don't

2575
02:31:17.360 --> 02:31:21.079
get anything at all. But with Leslie alive, Wait a minute,

2576
02:31:21.360 --> 02:31:22.280
you wouldn't.

2577
02:31:22.319 --> 02:31:22.639
Why not?

2578
02:31:23.959 --> 02:31:26.040
He could retire right now and live off his royalties

2579
02:31:26.120 --> 02:31:27.040
without doing another link.

2580
02:31:27.799 --> 02:31:29.639
You want me to keep this up?

2581
02:31:29.680 --> 02:31:33.159
Come will be ridiculous. A dozen reasons why I can't.

2582
02:31:33.479 --> 02:31:34.479
You'll discover it in a week.

2583
02:31:34.639 --> 02:31:38.799
You have his baggage, yes, and I know his signature.

2584
02:31:39.239 --> 02:31:42.120
I can imitate it perfectly. I know his background like

2585
02:31:42.159 --> 02:31:44.799
a book. You may as well get used to it.

2586
02:31:45.360 --> 02:31:47.479
Mister James, I tell you I won't do it. It's

2587
02:31:47.479 --> 02:31:49.200
the most fantastic thing I ever heard.

2588
02:31:49.559 --> 02:31:52.079
Kenneth Ricketts down on the lobby. You know, he seemed

2589
02:31:52.120 --> 02:31:56.040
quite interested in the in our relationship. Of course, if

2590
02:31:56.040 --> 02:31:57.520
you like, I'll bring him up to.

2591
02:31:57.600 --> 02:32:03.559
Date, all right, missus jameson Darling.

2592
02:32:04.079 --> 02:32:05.000
Just call me Ruth.

2593
02:32:06.399 --> 02:32:07.239
There's a dear.

2594
02:32:16.079 --> 02:32:16.319
Ruth.

2595
02:32:17.159 --> 02:32:17.399
Ruth.

2596
02:32:18.479 --> 02:32:19.520
I tell you this can't go on.

2597
02:32:19.719 --> 02:32:22.680
You're spending money like a child, twenty eight thousand dollars

2598
02:32:22.719 --> 02:32:25.159
in three months. Besides the deposits I made your account

2599
02:32:25.639 --> 02:32:27.680
while we're behind in the rent. The mate hasn't been paid.

2600
02:32:27.760 --> 02:32:29.280
Just look at these bills. Look at them. I haven't

2601
02:32:29.280 --> 02:32:29.799
got a penny.

2602
02:32:31.040 --> 02:32:31.799
Are you all through?

2603
02:32:32.799 --> 02:32:35.600
You know there's your quarterly royalty check do tomorrow.

2604
02:32:35.719 --> 02:32:36.879
That'll only pay part of them.

2605
02:32:36.920 --> 02:32:39.319
It's not saying any of them, darling. It's going into

2606
02:32:39.399 --> 02:32:40.079
my account.

2607
02:32:40.520 --> 02:32:40.920
I see.

2608
02:32:41.639 --> 02:32:43.799
Maybe you've got a fast way of getting out from.

2609
02:32:43.680 --> 02:32:56.479
Under these bills that you're worried, dear, Not mine, I

2610
02:32:59.319 --> 02:32:59.959
having trouble.

2611
02:33:00.719 --> 02:33:03.920
Oh, nothing at all, sweetheart. It's just that my account's

2612
02:33:03.920 --> 02:33:06.000
over drawn by five hundred dollars.

2613
02:33:05.840 --> 02:33:07.760
Because you could finish your book.

2614
02:33:07.600 --> 02:33:11.920
There, sure finish the book writer Leslie Jamison mystery novel.

2615
02:33:12.399 --> 02:33:15.639
Well, then I suppose you'll just have to think of

2616
02:33:15.760 --> 02:33:17.440
something else, Ruth.

2617
02:33:18.840 --> 02:33:23.239
Be honest with me, Actually, how long do you intend

2618
02:33:23.360 --> 02:33:24.680
to carry on with this?

2619
02:33:26.159 --> 02:33:26.799
Infinitely?

2620
02:33:26.879 --> 02:33:27.079
Dear?

2621
02:33:27.840 --> 02:33:30.319
I know when I have a good thing, you mean,

2622
02:33:30.440 --> 02:33:33.399
then there's no end. Oh there is if you want one?

2623
02:33:33.520 --> 02:33:35.079
There are always the police.

2624
02:33:35.520 --> 02:33:36.840
Are you quit throwing that up to me?

2625
02:33:38.120 --> 02:33:40.159
If you could be decent about it, you know there

2626
02:33:40.200 --> 02:33:42.159
could have been plenty without you bleeding me.

2627
02:33:42.479 --> 02:33:44.319
I fair with you.

2628
02:33:45.079 --> 02:33:47.520
No sleep a day and night. I can't eat.

2629
02:33:47.600 --> 02:33:50.079
This isn't getting us anywhere to dodge my shadow.

2630
02:33:50.120 --> 02:33:53.559
I'm getting nowhere afraid all the time, there's dagger hanging

2631
02:33:53.639 --> 02:33:54.280
over my head.

2632
02:33:54.559 --> 02:33:55.639
But what happened to you?

2633
02:33:56.520 --> 02:33:57.120
Get ahold of you?

2634
02:33:59.000 --> 02:34:04.000
I'm trapped, run into a corner, no way to turn, no.

2635
02:34:06.719 --> 02:34:07.399
Where to turn.

2636
02:34:14.719 --> 02:34:15.040
M h.

2637
02:34:18.239 --> 02:34:25.840
M m mm hmm.

2638
02:34:29.520 --> 02:34:34.559
It's sir. Yeah, the deak sighton. That's right.

2639
02:34:34.639 --> 02:34:38.000
What can I do for you? He will take this down.

2640
02:34:38.920 --> 02:34:44.000
I h matter bell just killed my wife.

2641
02:34:54.639 --> 02:34:56.440
The whistler will return in just a moment.

2642
02:34:56.559 --> 02:35:00.719
With the strange ending of tonight's story, we time a

2643
02:35:00.799 --> 02:35:03.360
word about that extra something you get when you have

2644
02:35:03.479 --> 02:35:07.920
your car service and independently operated signal gasoline stations.

2645
02:35:08.760 --> 02:35:10.440
I'm talking about that feeling.

2646
02:35:10.159 --> 02:35:13.079
Of confidence and well being you have as you drive out,

2647
02:35:13.520 --> 02:35:16.760
knowing that your car has been thoroughly and conscientiously taken

2648
02:35:16.840 --> 02:35:17.120
care of.

2649
02:35:18.200 --> 02:35:18.239
You.

2650
02:35:18.360 --> 02:35:22.000
See, signal dealers, being in business for themselves, do go

2651
02:35:22.159 --> 02:35:23.760
out of their way to give you the kind of

2652
02:35:23.879 --> 02:35:27.440
job their proudest stand back out. When they lubricate your car,

2653
02:35:27.559 --> 02:35:30.360
for instance, here's what signal dealers do to make sure

2654
02:35:30.440 --> 02:35:34.239
not a single point is overlooked. Instead of relying on memory,

2655
02:35:34.559 --> 02:35:38.399
they check each point against signals lubrication chart, which shows

2656
02:35:38.520 --> 02:35:42.360
every lubrication point on your car and specifies which of

2657
02:35:42.479 --> 02:35:46.440
signals nine specialized oils and greases each part should have

2658
02:35:47.000 --> 02:35:50.959
for long trouble free service. But they don't even stop there,

2659
02:35:51.159 --> 02:35:54.360
no serve. Just to make doubly sure, they check each

2660
02:35:54.399 --> 02:35:58.680
point again, which is why it's called signal double check lubrication.

2661
02:36:00.239 --> 02:36:02.760
That's the kind of service you want these days, when

2662
02:36:02.799 --> 02:36:07.120
your car has to last until who knows when. That's

2663
02:36:07.200 --> 02:36:10.200
the kind of service you'll get from your friendly neighborhood

2664
02:36:10.280 --> 02:36:11.639
signal gasoline dealer.

2665
02:36:13.360 --> 02:36:15.120
Now back to the whistler.

2666
02:36:26.239 --> 02:36:29.600
Well, well, but for the first time since that awful

2667
02:36:29.719 --> 02:36:33.840
night in Miami, you feel relaxed. It's over now, isn't

2668
02:36:33.879 --> 02:36:37.280
the hounding, the fear, the dagger hanging over your head?

2669
02:36:38.319 --> 02:36:39.000
They're gone.

2670
02:36:39.200 --> 02:36:43.200
Now you sit down on a chair by the sergeant's

2671
02:36:43.280 --> 02:36:47.799
desk and start to tell him the whole thing. And

2672
02:36:47.879 --> 02:36:53.159
then I wandered around the streets all night. I thought

2673
02:36:53.159 --> 02:36:56.200
about running away again, and.

2674
02:36:56.440 --> 02:36:58.600
Then it all seems so so useless.

2675
02:36:58.639 --> 02:37:00.760
So you came into the station and spilled it. Eh,

2676
02:37:03.639 --> 02:37:06.639
aren't you going over there? You've been there found her

2677
02:37:06.680 --> 02:37:07.680
an hour after you did it.

2678
02:37:08.559 --> 02:37:09.040
Let's see, you.

2679
02:37:11.280 --> 02:37:14.879
May as well know that she's not my wife. Yeah, yeah,

2680
02:37:14.959 --> 02:37:18.040
we know that, mister Jamieson. She was your assistant, bonus

2681
02:37:18.079 --> 02:37:22.479
Aire's you're saying she was shaking you down? Eh, what

2682
02:37:22.719 --> 02:37:25.920
you have on your my sister?

2683
02:37:27.399 --> 02:37:29.079
Oh, that's right, your assistant.

2684
02:37:30.239 --> 02:37:33.239
If you had a lapse of memory or something, Jamison,

2685
02:37:34.319 --> 02:37:39.200
your sister, tell me, Jamison, what was she threatened undertake

2686
02:37:39.239 --> 02:37:42.920
to the police. Okay, but at three year old would

2687
02:37:42.920 --> 02:37:45.120
have known it was a bluff. That's the last thing

2688
02:37:45.159 --> 02:37:46.239
in the world she would have done.

2689
02:37:46.600 --> 02:37:47.360
No, you don't know her.

2690
02:37:48.280 --> 02:37:49.239
She would have done anything.

2691
02:37:50.000 --> 02:37:51.079
Met her neck fowl.

2692
02:37:51.959 --> 02:37:52.159
Huh.

2693
02:37:52.680 --> 02:37:56.239
You have got above memory, Jamison. It was all over,

2694
02:37:56.360 --> 02:38:01.319
bonus Aires, six months ago. She's wanted down there the murder.

2695
02:38:27.040 --> 02:38:30.239
This program, produced by George w Allen, with tonight's story

2696
02:38:30.319 --> 02:38:33.920
by Eleanor Beeson, music by Wilbur Hatch, is transmitted to

2697
02:38:34.000 --> 02:38:36.760
our troops overseas by the Armed Forces Radio Service.

2698
02:38:51.399 --> 02:38:56.959
Ah. Well, it is getting rather late, I suppose, But

2699
02:38:58.399 --> 02:39:04.360
I don't fear the sun like I did. Oh what's that?

2700
02:39:05.639 --> 02:39:05.879
Well?

2701
02:39:07.000 --> 02:39:13.600
I suppose that is true, but I'm just I'm just

2702
02:39:13.760 --> 02:39:18.799
feeling so different. The the leaves skittering across the ground,

2703
02:39:20.040 --> 02:39:28.879
the sound of the trees as they die, but not truly. Well,

2704
02:39:29.799 --> 02:39:35.319
what's not to like about that? I suppose in the end,

2705
02:39:36.959 --> 02:39:43.200
if all things are considered, I just love the Terror

2706
02:39:44.079 --> 02:39:44.600
in the Air.

2707
02:39:46.360 --> 02:39:50.000
The CBS Radio Mystery Theater presents.

2708
02:40:06.559 --> 02:40:06.879
Come in.

2709
02:40:09.840 --> 02:40:10.360
Welcome.

2710
02:40:11.559 --> 02:40:12.000
I'm E. G.

2711
02:40:12.280 --> 02:40:12.719
Marshall.

2712
02:40:14.440 --> 02:40:18.399
Wherever you live in the North American continent, it's hard

2713
02:40:18.479 --> 02:40:22.920
to imagine that given a reasonably clear day without cloud cover.

2714
02:40:23.360 --> 02:40:24.840
You won't see an airplane.

2715
02:40:26.040 --> 02:40:30.399
The great silver birds roaming the sky, sometimes leading the

2716
02:40:30.520 --> 02:40:33.959
contrail in their wake, written like a chalk mark on

2717
02:40:34.040 --> 02:40:38.440
the blue board of the heavens. So safe, so sure,

2718
02:40:39.239 --> 02:40:44.639
so poised. The actuarial figures prove beyond a shadow of

2719
02:40:44.719 --> 02:40:48.319
a doubt, there is no safer method of transport.

2720
02:40:49.000 --> 02:40:51.000
Despite the myriad things.

2721
02:40:50.719 --> 02:40:54.520
That could go wrong, the only trouble is that.

2722
02:40:54.680 --> 02:40:56.280
When something does.

2723
02:40:57.639 --> 02:41:05.959
Flat flat three Transways air airlines to traffic control.

2724
02:41:07.280 --> 02:41:08.680
Do you read me?

2725
02:41:09.520 --> 02:41:09.680
Ah?

2726
02:41:10.959 --> 02:41:12.040
Do you read me?

2727
02:41:13.920 --> 02:41:18.280
Fly Flight one one three traffic Control?

2728
02:41:18.879 --> 02:41:21.600
Oh read me read me?

2729
02:41:24.079 --> 02:41:24.200
Oh?

2730
02:41:24.280 --> 02:41:24.520
Avery?

2731
02:41:24.719 --> 02:41:26.159
Transceiver came bit.

2732
02:41:28.200 --> 02:41:35.280
I'm flight one one three trans Ways to shame. I

2733
02:41:35.479 --> 02:41:53.600
can't pay way hey. Our mystery drama Terror in the

2734
02:41:53.719 --> 02:41:57.559
Air was written especially for the Mystery Theater by Ian

2735
02:41:57.680 --> 02:42:02.520
Martin and Stars Robert Dryden and Jennifer Harmon. It is

2736
02:42:02.600 --> 02:42:06.040
sponsored in part by the Florida Orange Growers and Buick

2737
02:42:06.159 --> 02:42:06.920
Motor Division.

2738
02:42:07.360 --> 02:42:09.120
I'll be back shortly with that one.

2739
02:42:10.760 --> 02:42:13.879
All right, class, quite down, please, Jimmy, would you tell

2740
02:42:13.920 --> 02:42:16.920
the class what you learned about squirt fruit? Squirt fruit

2741
02:42:17.040 --> 02:42:18.159
is what happens to real.

2742
02:42:18.079 --> 02:42:21.639
Grapefruit when it gets inside bottles of squirt Anything else, well,

2743
02:42:21.959 --> 02:42:24.479
I couldn't find much more about sport fruit, but I

2744
02:42:24.600 --> 02:42:27.479
learned a lot about squirt It's a natural soft drink

2745
02:42:27.719 --> 02:42:30.760
with no artificial colors or flavors. I guess it makes

2746
02:42:30.799 --> 02:42:33.920
sense to call grapefruit squirtfruit. Maybe they should put squirt

2747
02:42:33.959 --> 02:42:34.959
fruit in the dictionary.

2748
02:42:35.399 --> 02:42:37.159
Also, I like squirt very much.

2749
02:42:37.559 --> 02:42:41.200
Very good, Jimmy, Now, class, it's time for music appreciation.

2750
02:42:41.399 --> 02:42:43.879
Oh the grape print don't grow all the fine.

2751
02:42:45.040 --> 02:42:48.040
It ain't even purple, and it makes cloudy wine.

2752
02:42:48.280 --> 02:42:50.040
So call it sport work if.

2753
02:42:50.000 --> 02:42:53.680
It was, call it tastes like work in that fa

2754
02:42:54.680 --> 02:42:55.760
Oh the squirt.

2755
02:42:55.520 --> 02:42:57.000
Grate, it's squirted it.

2756
02:42:58.040 --> 02:42:59.760
It's the tangy, soft drinking.

2757
02:43:00.200 --> 02:43:02.319
Great party mix the pol.

2758
02:43:04.360 --> 02:43:07.040
The start take it backwards.

2759
02:43:07.120 --> 02:43:08.239
And that's good.

2760
02:43:11.959 --> 02:43:14.120
Here's a tip from your better business Bureau on the

2761
02:43:14.200 --> 02:43:17.920
metric system. You know, the worldwide trend today is toward

2762
02:43:17.959 --> 02:43:22.239
a universal system of measurement, the metric system. The names

2763
02:43:22.280 --> 02:43:25.079
of this new system may sound strange to you at first,

2764
02:43:25.200 --> 02:43:27.959
but fortunately there are only a few words that have

2765
02:43:28.079 --> 02:43:33.159
to be learned for everyday use, and these are the millimeter, centimeter, meter,

2766
02:43:33.399 --> 02:43:37.200
and kilometer for describing length and distance, the millimeter and

2767
02:43:37.319 --> 02:43:41.440
leader for capacity or volume, the gram, kilogram and ton

2768
02:43:41.600 --> 02:43:46.120
for weight, the kilometer per hour for highway speed, and

2769
02:43:46.239 --> 02:43:50.639
the degree celsius or centigrade for temperature. You're already using

2770
02:43:50.760 --> 02:43:52.200
some of these terms more.

2771
02:43:52.040 --> 02:43:53.200
Than you may realize.

2772
02:43:54.200 --> 02:43:56.840
For example, when you go to the supermarket, you see

2773
02:43:56.879 --> 02:44:00.680
weights expressed in grams on more and more packaged items.

2774
02:44:01.399 --> 02:44:06.120
Now for more information on this whole metric system, right

2775
02:44:06.200 --> 02:44:10.879
to Metric Information Office, National Bureau of Standards, Washington, d C.

2776
02:44:15.000 --> 02:44:27.760
And Flight one one three Transaway's Airlines took off from

2777
02:44:27.840 --> 02:44:33.639
Miami a sleek DC nine four engine jet bound for Seattle, Washington,

2778
02:44:34.200 --> 02:44:37.879
with one set down at Kansas City. The bulk of

2779
02:44:37.959 --> 02:44:42.200
her manifest was a large charter of meatpackers returning from

2780
02:44:42.239 --> 02:44:46.120
the convention to be dropped off at Kansas City. The

2781
02:44:46.239 --> 02:44:49.840
small remaining nucleus of passengers was to be increased by

2782
02:44:49.959 --> 02:44:54.000
only one pickup, sixty five year old doctor Sam McCall,

2783
02:44:55.079 --> 02:44:57.600
a man the crew, and his fellow passengers were to

2784
02:44:57.760 --> 02:45:01.360
thank God for the rest of their lives. For Flight

2785
02:45:01.520 --> 02:45:04.559
one one three was the junction ship doom to a

2786
02:45:04.760 --> 02:45:08.959
nightmare that is shared by anyone who flies, and against

2787
02:45:09.079 --> 02:45:13.159
which every precaution is taken so that it won't come true.

2788
02:45:14.000 --> 02:45:16.559
This is the story of the million to one chance

2789
02:45:17.000 --> 02:45:20.920
when it did, and which began before the floor.

2790
02:45:21.040 --> 02:45:21.680
As you take off.

2791
02:45:22.399 --> 02:45:26.159
This is flight one one three, Transways Airline Post K two.

2792
02:45:26.280 --> 02:45:28.079
I'm ready to roll as soon as you get me

2793
02:45:28.159 --> 02:45:29.399
someone to hold my hands.

2794
02:45:29.440 --> 02:45:32.239
He's on his way right now from reserve. What happened

2795
02:45:32.280 --> 02:45:33.040
to Davey?

2796
02:45:33.200 --> 02:45:35.360
His father had a corner. It's pretty hairy, I guess

2797
02:45:35.520 --> 02:45:38.200
second time around. Dave took off for the hospital like

2798
02:45:38.239 --> 02:45:40.760
he was fired from a gun. We're all checked out.

2799
02:45:40.879 --> 02:45:43.479
I'll get back as soon as Dave's relief gets here.

2800
02:45:44.399 --> 02:45:49.479
Come all right, Freddie, Well, what the sam Hill is at?

2801
02:45:49.719 --> 02:45:54.360
It's just a moment, Captain that I jolly little cargo

2802
02:45:54.920 --> 02:45:58.680
one hundred and fifteen slap happy meattackers on their way.

2803
02:45:58.520 --> 02:46:02.000
Home from the convention. Oh brother, let's just be glad

2804
02:46:02.040 --> 02:46:03.920
you don't have to move among them. It's worse than

2805
02:46:04.000 --> 02:46:06.719
being in Rome. I probably won't be able to sit down.

2806
02:46:06.600 --> 02:46:07.079
For a week.

2807
02:46:07.440 --> 02:46:09.799
I'll get my blast on the horn they tone them down.

2808
02:46:09.879 --> 02:46:12.239
Oh no, they're all right. I can handle them. I

2809
02:46:12.440 --> 02:46:14.600
just wanted you to know we're loaded and your relief

2810
02:46:14.680 --> 02:46:15.840
co pilot is on the way.

2811
02:46:16.079 --> 02:46:16.959
Who draw you know?

2812
02:46:19.120 --> 02:46:20.719
Lucky day, Captain Thomas.

2813
02:46:21.040 --> 02:46:25.879
Look what you got, Doug Flitcher, not you now. I

2814
02:46:26.000 --> 02:46:28.799
know we're jixed. Dicks and stones will break my bones.

2815
02:46:28.840 --> 02:46:30.840
But a few breasts coming through that crowd out there,

2816
02:46:30.879 --> 02:46:32.239
and I'm already as high as kite.

2817
02:46:32.360 --> 02:46:34.280
Oh come on, let's cut the comedy we're telling us

2818
02:46:34.319 --> 02:46:38.719
late already? Friend, did Charlie check you out on the manifest?

2819
02:46:38.879 --> 02:46:42.120
Yes, Captain, is the off plan yet we're all buttoned up.

2820
02:46:42.399 --> 02:46:45.680
Okay, I'll go get that bunch quieted down out there.

2821
02:46:48.040 --> 02:46:50.120
Hit the no smoke and seatbelts right.

2822
02:46:51.719 --> 02:46:52.719
Nice to have you board.

2823
02:46:53.360 --> 02:46:57.000
Let's earn our pay. This is K flight one one

2824
02:46:57.200 --> 02:47:00.959
three transways Port K two. The ground can control requests

2825
02:47:01.000 --> 02:47:02.680
permission to start engines.

2826
02:47:03.040 --> 02:47:05.239
You have permission, Captain, hit them, Doug.

2827
02:47:10.840 --> 02:47:12.440
Ready to roll as soon as we get the good

2828
02:47:12.479 --> 02:47:16.719
word and hold it a second, Roger, Doug, where gee

2829
02:47:17.280 --> 02:47:21.920
all at home? The little woman, you and babies. I

2830
02:47:22.040 --> 02:47:24.239
never can pass up that Chiffon pumpkin pie.

2831
02:47:24.479 --> 02:47:26.639
Hey, that's funny. You know I have my way down.

2832
02:47:26.719 --> 02:47:29.040
They're still on the pipe Transways one, one, three.

2833
02:47:29.120 --> 02:47:30.000
Yeah, waiting to roll.

2834
02:47:30.239 --> 02:47:33.760
Okay, you're player to taxi to runway five.

2835
02:47:35.440 --> 02:47:38.719
Roger, we still have CAVU for the flight.

2836
02:47:38.719 --> 02:47:42.399
As far as Kansas City, ceiling in visibility unlimited.

2837
02:47:42.639 --> 02:47:47.120
Thanks, we're on our way. Have a nice fight waiting, please,

2838
02:47:49.239 --> 02:47:52.520
it's the Lord. We're caring. We can't lose. Most of

2839
02:47:52.600 --> 02:47:55.920
them can make it under their own car. Otherwise looks

2840
02:47:55.959 --> 02:47:57.239
like a milk run all the.

2841
02:47:57.280 --> 02:48:03.159
Way, a new run, the flight where nothing happens, where

2842
02:48:03.239 --> 02:48:06.719
everything goes according to the book. And so it did

2843
02:48:07.120 --> 02:48:10.520
as far as Kansas City, in spite of the slightly

2844
02:48:10.680 --> 02:48:15.479
raucous conventioneers who soon passed out quietly to be poured

2845
02:48:15.520 --> 02:48:17.680
off the plane gently by the stewardess.

2846
02:48:17.799 --> 02:48:19.120
Is two and a half hours.

2847
02:48:18.920 --> 02:48:22.959
Later, waiting to take off again, Captain Thomas and his

2848
02:48:23.079 --> 02:48:28.159
co piloted Fletcher could have no slightest suspicion that the

2849
02:48:28.319 --> 02:48:32.719
second half of a flight was to make disaster history.

2850
02:48:33.719 --> 02:48:34.520
What are we waiting for?

2851
02:48:34.719 --> 02:48:36.159
Captain clearance?

2852
02:48:36.559 --> 02:48:37.239
Anything wrong?

2853
02:48:38.040 --> 02:48:38.680
Something coming in?

2854
02:48:38.760 --> 02:48:40.639
I guess to have load?

2855
02:48:41.079 --> 02:48:42.479
You could shoot deer back there.

2856
02:48:43.239 --> 02:48:46.079
Let's see, we have only thirty two left.

2857
02:48:46.559 --> 02:48:48.959
We didn't pick up anyone here, only.

2858
02:48:48.799 --> 02:48:51.680
One a doctor, very handy to have a board.

2859
02:48:51.840 --> 02:48:52.680
Now what does that mean?

2860
02:48:53.159 --> 02:48:55.280
Well, just that we have a lady aboard.

2861
02:48:55.040 --> 02:48:57.440
A married lady who's very pregnant.

2862
02:48:57.680 --> 02:49:00.760
Ooh, I hope we don't pick up any rough Will

2863
02:49:00.760 --> 02:49:03.239
you knock it off? YouTube Cassandra's And now let's get

2864
02:49:03.319 --> 02:49:07.200
airborne before you discourage me from the whole flight. This

2865
02:49:07.559 --> 02:49:10.920
is flight one one three Transways Airlines. I am at

2866
02:49:11.040 --> 02:49:13.719
number one requesting permission for takeoff.

2867
02:49:14.239 --> 02:49:17.799
Acknowledge one one three Transways ad fis you are now

2868
02:49:17.920 --> 02:49:18.920
cleared for takeoff.

2869
02:49:19.000 --> 02:49:20.159
Though here goes nothing.

2870
02:49:20.360 --> 02:49:23.200
We're on our way, my happy captain, the only way

2871
02:49:23.239 --> 02:49:24.760
to go. Thanks Kansas and.

2872
02:49:25.239 --> 02:49:39.879
Out any takers I need?

2873
02:49:40.680 --> 02:49:42.639
Yes, but now you have to get the drink cart

2874
02:49:42.680 --> 02:49:43.719
out to Scotch.

2875
02:49:43.840 --> 02:49:45.239
Is one better than a stinger for.

2876
02:49:45.319 --> 02:49:47.520
The lady in first? We got not a stinger.

2877
02:49:47.879 --> 02:49:50.799
I'll take that one to a personally crabby old bitty

2878
02:49:51.120 --> 02:49:53.200
I can then. Oh, I'm going up on anyway I

2879
02:49:53.280 --> 02:49:55.200
need Maybe the boys want some coffee?

2880
02:49:55.399 --> 02:49:56.159
Shall I call them?

2881
02:49:56.520 --> 02:49:59.280
No, any little exercise. I want to check on our

2882
02:49:59.280 --> 02:50:00.600
little mother to anyway.

2883
02:50:00.920 --> 02:50:03.799
She's pretty near up time, I think not too. I

2884
02:50:03.959 --> 02:50:07.440
hope ever been a midwife of what? Did you ever

2885
02:50:07.520 --> 02:50:08.399
deliver a baby?

2886
02:50:08.920 --> 02:50:09.040
Oh?

2887
02:50:09.239 --> 02:50:09.559
Not me?

2888
02:50:10.200 --> 02:50:11.799
Either for myself or anyone.

2889
02:50:12.920 --> 02:50:14.120
I think I would freak out.

2890
02:50:14.280 --> 02:50:16.559
How that makes two of us? I hope we don't

2891
02:50:16.600 --> 02:50:17.360
have to find out?

2892
02:50:25.159 --> 02:50:25.600
Are you sure?

2893
02:50:25.680 --> 02:50:26.239
If you all right?

2894
02:50:26.280 --> 02:50:26.520
Honey?

2895
02:50:26.760 --> 02:50:27.799
Will you stop worrying?

2896
02:50:27.920 --> 02:50:28.159
Free?

2897
02:50:28.520 --> 02:50:32.719
It's just maybe I worry we shouldn't let them.

2898
02:50:33.479 --> 02:50:34.879
It's a little late for that now.

2899
02:50:35.920 --> 02:50:39.280
So I didn't mean the baby. I mean find the seattle.

2900
02:50:39.600 --> 02:50:41.719
It's still too late. Everything okay?

2901
02:50:41.799 --> 02:50:42.680
With you to love for it?

2902
02:50:43.000 --> 02:50:43.159
Oh?

2903
02:50:43.520 --> 02:50:45.200
Sure, So everything's just fine.

2904
02:50:45.319 --> 02:50:46.280
Start is to make it.

2905
02:50:46.360 --> 02:50:48.840
Frand where it's small enough group to be a family.

2906
02:50:49.559 --> 02:50:52.399
Anything I can get you, Mary Banks, how about you?

2907
02:50:52.559 --> 02:50:54.760
It's beer? Oh no, no, no, no, I'm just fine.

2908
02:50:55.280 --> 02:50:57.079
It's only Jackie. No worry.

2909
02:50:57.159 --> 02:50:59.479
What of the world about everything?

2910
02:50:59.600 --> 02:51:00.680
It's just his nature.

2911
02:51:00.879 --> 02:51:03.559
All this time, I really have something to worry about.

2912
02:51:03.840 --> 02:51:04.680
Well, not much.

2913
02:51:04.639 --> 02:51:07.600
Longer, only about an hour and a half to Seattle.

2914
02:51:07.959 --> 02:51:09.879
I wouldn't want anyone to be embarrassed.

2915
02:51:10.600 --> 02:51:11.920
I'll hold on until then.

2916
02:51:12.120 --> 02:51:14.159
Oh, Jackie, she's putting you on.

2917
02:51:15.000 --> 02:51:17.200
He bought a stop watch so he can time the

2918
02:51:17.319 --> 02:51:18.479
pains when they start.

2919
02:51:19.120 --> 02:51:21.360
But don't get me wrong, I love him.

2920
02:51:21.399 --> 02:51:24.159
If that's my exit cue, I've got to deliver this

2921
02:51:24.280 --> 02:51:24.920
drink to someone.

2922
02:51:29.319 --> 02:51:32.040
Excuse me, and doctor McCall, isn't it what?

2923
02:51:33.120 --> 02:51:33.280
Oh?

2924
02:51:33.520 --> 02:51:36.799
Oh yeah, I just delivered a drink to your only companion,

2925
02:51:36.959 --> 02:51:38.120
the lady in the back.

2926
02:51:38.760 --> 02:51:41.079
Is there anything I can get for you for me?

2927
02:51:42.520 --> 02:51:42.719
Oh?

2928
02:51:43.360 --> 02:51:48.200
Ah, fasten your seat.

2929
02:51:48.040 --> 02:51:49.559
Belt, doctor, it is fast.

2930
02:51:50.239 --> 02:51:51.920
Mind if I sit beside you for a moment.

2931
02:51:52.280 --> 02:51:52.959
Ok?

2932
02:51:53.600 --> 02:51:54.000
What is it?

2933
02:51:54.440 --> 02:51:55.040
Big storm?

2934
02:51:55.799 --> 02:51:58.040
You weren't expecting it, or the seatbelt fights would have

2935
02:51:58.079 --> 02:51:58.840
been up for now.

2936
02:51:59.040 --> 02:51:59.959
Are you feeling okay?

2937
02:52:00.600 --> 02:52:00.639
Me?

2938
02:52:01.479 --> 02:52:05.120
Oh yes, yes, what it's just the airpock.

2939
02:52:06.360 --> 02:52:09.479
General turbulent. We should be through it in a moment.

2940
02:52:10.200 --> 02:52:12.200
I just wanted to make sure you didn't feel sick.

2941
02:52:13.399 --> 02:52:16.360
I feel sick, all right, but not from this.

2942
02:52:17.440 --> 02:52:18.040
I'm sorry.

2943
02:52:18.159 --> 02:52:18.879
What can I say?

2944
02:52:19.639 --> 02:52:19.959
Nothing?

2945
02:52:21.040 --> 02:52:26.319
What can anyone say? Pete would have been thirty next week.

2946
02:52:27.360 --> 02:52:33.479
From my angle, that's where life begins, but his ended. Pete,

2947
02:52:34.399 --> 02:52:37.280
my son, the first time.

2948
02:52:37.120 --> 02:52:39.079
I ever flew first class in my life.

2949
02:52:40.040 --> 02:52:41.040
Thanks to the Air Force.

2950
02:52:42.159 --> 02:52:45.280
They're flying Pete's body and the rest of his crew

2951
02:52:45.399 --> 02:52:50.959
back from wah that's when they crashed. His mother is

2952
02:52:51.120 --> 02:52:53.840
buried in Winks where I used to practice.

2953
02:52:55.239 --> 02:52:57.120
I wanted him to lie with her.

2954
02:52:59.000 --> 02:53:02.399
I'm sorry, I misunderstood about the way you were looking.

2955
02:53:03.120 --> 02:53:03.840
That's all right.

2956
02:53:06.280 --> 02:53:08.319
If it worked for the rest of you board, I

2957
02:53:08.920 --> 02:53:11.079
just soon cash in my chips right here.

2958
02:53:12.840 --> 02:53:14.239
Well, it won't be that bad.

2959
02:53:14.399 --> 02:53:17.120
It's just a peewee squad. We're coming out of it.

2960
02:53:18.000 --> 02:53:20.040
You can go on about your business free and me.

2961
02:53:20.840 --> 02:53:22.479
I guess we did blow right through it.

2962
02:53:23.239 --> 02:53:25.040
Maybe I should get up and see if the captain

2963
02:53:25.079 --> 02:53:26.239
the copilot.

2964
02:53:25.760 --> 02:53:26.479
Wants to coffee.

2965
02:53:29.440 --> 02:53:32.920
Do you travel control yet, Doug, I'm on my third frequency?

2966
02:53:33.159 --> 02:53:35.879
Nor response? Were the devil already not? Couldn't they have

2967
02:53:36.000 --> 02:53:37.879
picked up what we just came through on the radar?

2968
02:53:38.079 --> 02:53:38.520
Search me.

2969
02:53:39.559 --> 02:53:42.840
There's flight one one three transways to control tower.

2970
02:53:42.959 --> 02:53:43.479
Do you read me?

2971
02:53:45.120 --> 02:53:50.000
Negative? The Baker's up? No, Captain, I checked, Well, what

2972
02:53:50.040 --> 02:53:51.559
do you want from what happened?

2973
02:53:51.639 --> 02:53:54.319
No warning on the fireworks came out of nowhere, no

2974
02:53:54.440 --> 02:53:55.440
advance from control.

2975
02:53:55.680 --> 02:53:58.000
Yeah, we can't dig them up. Not do you want anything?

2976
02:53:58.159 --> 02:54:00.280
No, just as long as we're off the bar. So

2977
02:54:00.479 --> 02:54:01.719
I thought you might like some coffee.

2978
02:54:02.000 --> 02:54:05.879
Yeah, heavy on cream, easy on the sugar. Skip the coffee.

2979
02:54:06.120 --> 02:54:10.680
I'm feeling a little off the feet hold of This.

2980
02:54:10.840 --> 02:54:13.959
Is flight one one three Transways traffic Control.

2981
02:54:14.120 --> 02:54:15.959
Do you read me anything serious?

2982
02:54:16.079 --> 02:54:16.280
Duck?

2983
02:54:16.559 --> 02:54:20.159
It will be. If we don't make contact, I'll forget it.

2984
02:54:20.639 --> 02:54:25.079
There's so many backup systems beyond the regular frequencies. Emergency Army, Navy,

2985
02:54:25.280 --> 02:54:26.479
Sea rescue.

2986
02:54:26.200 --> 02:54:29.520
Relayed through another plane. One sweat, baby, I was worried

2987
02:54:29.600 --> 02:54:31.440
about you. You don't look so hot, and.

2988
02:54:31.559 --> 02:54:32.680
You should feel my stock.

2989
02:54:34.600 --> 02:54:38.040
Look, bring me a color, lots of ice. Wait a minute,

2990
02:54:38.120 --> 02:54:39.559
we read you loud and clear.

2991
02:54:40.000 --> 02:54:41.040
Where the hell have you been?

2992
02:54:41.600 --> 02:54:44.040
We've been trying to raise you did oh here? Now,

2993
02:54:44.120 --> 02:54:46.879
where the devil have you been? I'm an emergency back

2994
02:54:46.959 --> 02:54:47.879
up now and we are.

2995
02:54:48.000 --> 02:54:53.319
Twenty seven thousand cruising speed or eight five knots holding

2996
02:54:53.440 --> 02:54:58.280
steady heading two nine zero. You didn't get anything from

2997
02:54:58.360 --> 02:55:01.479
us on the regular channels, and we just came through

2998
02:55:01.520 --> 02:55:02.760
a freak electrical storm.

2999
02:55:03.200 --> 02:55:04.559
Didn't you picked that up on radar?

3000
02:55:04.719 --> 02:55:06.920
That's why we were trying to reach you. It came

3001
02:55:06.959 --> 02:55:10.159
in from nowhere. It's a whole front by now.

3002
02:55:10.520 --> 02:55:13.120
Now maybe that's what not the radio as I was

3003
02:55:13.159 --> 02:55:15.360
thinking of turning back, but maybe I better off as

3004
02:55:15.440 --> 02:55:15.600
we go.

3005
02:55:15.799 --> 02:55:16.639
I what's up ahead?

3006
02:55:17.079 --> 02:55:20.319
C Avu on present course? A little storm to the

3007
02:55:20.520 --> 02:55:23.120
north over the rockies. But you should bypass it, and

3008
02:55:23.239 --> 02:55:23.680
we better.

3009
02:55:23.799 --> 02:55:26.360
We got a pregnant lady aboard. I like to void

3010
02:55:26.440 --> 02:55:29.639
any more turbulence, just in case you want to.

3011
02:55:29.639 --> 02:55:32.319
Send us up top stand by? Call I clear you

3012
02:55:32.840 --> 02:55:33.479
standing by?

3013
02:55:35.120 --> 02:55:37.600
Well it looks okay now except.

3014
02:55:37.280 --> 02:55:39.479
For you, Doug. Well, what's the matter with me?

3015
02:55:39.879 --> 02:55:42.559
You're a little green around the gills. It's out home

3016
02:55:42.639 --> 02:55:45.120
cooking or did a few buffs make years?

3017
02:55:45.200 --> 02:55:47.600
Sie? Oh no, no, no, I don't know what it is.

3018
02:55:48.440 --> 02:55:52.920
I got the cold sweats seeing double.

3019
02:55:54.319 --> 02:55:57.920
Wasn't anything I got from Helen. Maybe I should have

3020
02:55:58.559 --> 02:56:00.760
five past ant Phoebe's what do you mean?

3021
02:56:01.239 --> 02:56:04.120
Amt bhibious? I try?

3022
02:56:04.159 --> 02:56:04.440
I tell you.

3023
02:56:04.520 --> 02:56:07.840
Before we took off in Florida, I couldn't.

3024
02:56:07.520 --> 02:56:11.479
Resist stopping offer and having some shift on pumpkin pie

3025
02:56:11.600 --> 02:56:12.079
and dessert.

3026
02:56:12.319 --> 02:56:13.600
Damn it, that's what I am.

3027
02:56:14.399 --> 02:56:20.200
So you're lucky it wasn't too rich for you. H

3028
02:56:21.479 --> 02:56:25.639
I don't know. I think I'm gonna pass out.

3029
02:56:27.079 --> 02:56:31.159
Friend, Trin, I hate to layness on you, but I've

3030
02:56:31.200 --> 02:56:32.239
been having the symptoms.

3031
02:56:32.559 --> 02:56:33.600
Doug's complaining about.

3032
02:56:33.840 --> 02:56:36.360
Good Lord, it's crazy.

3033
02:56:36.520 --> 02:56:41.200
It can't be happening and just couldn't be. But you'd

3034
02:56:41.239 --> 02:56:44.159
be to get babe and bring that doctor up here.

3035
02:56:47.200 --> 02:56:50.319
I feel like I can hardly move, But look at Doug.

3036
02:56:51.559 --> 02:56:56.360
He's out your doctor, friend, that'd be for real, and

3037
02:56:56.520 --> 02:57:03.239

02:57:42.159 --> 02:57:54.840
Way may day, the final and ultimate cry for help

3044
02:57:55.399 --> 02:57:59.760
when an aircraft is disabled or out of control. The

3045
02:58:00.120 --> 02:58:04.159
last word air traffic Control, ever wants to hear. For

3046
02:58:04.360 --> 02:58:10.000
Once that dread alert is sounded, everything moves with controlled pandemonium.

3047
02:58:11.120 --> 02:58:13.040
I'll return shortly with that too.

3048
02:58:13.600 --> 02:58:17.760

02:58:44.399 --> 02:58:47.920

3057
02:58:47.959 --> 02:58:50.879

3063
02:59:07.319 --> 02:59:09.799
Each week too, and it's so easy to enter.

3064
02:59:10.079 --> 02:59:13.399
I'll return with the contest details right after the next

3065
02:59:13.479 --> 02:59:14.680
act of Mystery Theater.

3066
02:59:30.879 --> 02:59:34.559
Hello everybody, this is cousin Bruce Morrow for the Foundation Church. Now,

3067
02:59:34.639 --> 02:59:36.879
these are troubled times to have a lot of money around.

3068
02:59:37.239 --> 02:59:39.920
Work's got a tough to get half of these here

3069
02:59:40.399 --> 02:59:44.079
with dissolutions, wondering what's going to go down next, Well,

3070
02:59:44.120 --> 02:59:45.159
it's easy to go along with it.

3071
02:59:45.280 --> 02:59:47.239
Right, I mean just sit around and say, who cares?

3072
02:59:47.280 --> 02:59:47.440
You know what?

3073
02:59:47.559 --> 02:59:47.920
The next guy?

3074
02:59:48.000 --> 02:59:50.000
Worry about it? But does it have to be like this?

3075
02:59:50.600 --> 02:59:54.840
Pride, dignity, truth, being straight with one another? Now, these

3076
02:59:54.959 --> 02:59:58.280
qualities have not disappeared. They've just gone to sleep for

3077
02:59:58.360 --> 03:00:01.000
a while, right, But now's the time to wake them up.

3078
03:00:01.440 --> 03:00:02.639
Only we can do it.

3079
03:00:03.559 --> 03:00:05.680
This mess is brought to you by the Foundation Church.

3080
03:00:05.760 --> 03:00:08.040
What about at East thirty eighth Street, New York, New York,

3081
03:00:08.159 --> 03:00:09.879
Zip one zero zero one six.

3082
03:00:27.639 --> 03:00:32.159
In the air, secure on automatic pilot, the Big DC

3083
03:00:32.440 --> 03:00:35.760
nine is a symbol of man's ability to conquer a

3084
03:00:35.840 --> 03:00:40.159
hostile medium, to make it his own, as safely and

3085
03:00:40.360 --> 03:00:41.600
sure as any bird.

3086
03:00:42.639 --> 03:00:45.200
Inside this big bird from.

3087
03:00:45.040 --> 03:00:48.680
The cockpit aft, the passengers have no notion of what

3088
03:00:48.879 --> 03:00:53.680
lies ahead as yet, but on the ground, if the

3089
03:00:53.799 --> 03:00:57.600
May day alert has gotten through, control tower will be

3090
03:00:57.719 --> 03:01:02.639
in charge. His voice arm but precise, but underlying it

3091
03:01:03.239 --> 03:01:06.600
the ragged edge of knowledge he shares with every pilot

3092
03:01:06.639 --> 03:01:11.680
who receives that man may conquer the elements, but never

3093
03:01:11.879 --> 03:01:13.440
wholly subdue them.

3094
03:01:14.520 --> 03:01:21.200
Excuse me, doctor mccallar, Oh, oh yes, stars, I'm sitting

3095
03:01:21.319 --> 03:01:23.920
down beside you because I have no wish to alarm

3096
03:01:24.000 --> 03:01:24.840
the rest of the plane.

3097
03:01:25.520 --> 03:01:27.200
You are a medical doctor, aren't you.

3098
03:01:28.440 --> 03:01:32.120
If I'm not, I've kept up the pretense successfully for

3099
03:01:32.239 --> 03:01:32.959
more years than that.

3100
03:01:33.200 --> 03:01:35.520
Care say, do you have a doctor's bag with you?

3101
03:01:35.639 --> 03:01:36.319
By any chance?

3102
03:01:37.120 --> 03:01:37.440
He is?

3103
03:01:39.399 --> 03:01:41.600
I don't know, I force of heaven.

3104
03:01:42.840 --> 03:01:44.959
Why, yes, there's some trouble in the cockpit.

3105
03:01:45.600 --> 03:01:47.760
The pilot and the co pilot seem to be in

3106
03:01:47.879 --> 03:01:50.559
some sort of well, have some sort of food poisoning.

3107
03:01:51.079 --> 03:01:52.719
Could we just walk up there casually?

3108
03:01:53.200 --> 03:01:54.600
We better get there fast.

3109
03:01:54.680 --> 03:01:57.559
Not too fast as a lady watching us, who is

3110
03:01:58.120 --> 03:02:00.920
how volatile? For one of a better words, I don't

3111
03:02:00.959 --> 03:02:02.719
want to get the rest of the plane alarmed.

3112
03:02:03.360 --> 03:02:04.079
I tell you what.

3113
03:02:04.719 --> 03:02:07.680
I left the cabin door open. I'll keep her busy

3114
03:02:07.760 --> 03:02:08.719
while you go forward.

3115
03:02:09.120 --> 03:02:10.319
Whatever you say, my dear.

3116
03:02:11.760 --> 03:02:14.840
The conscious I don't know the captain was when I left.

3117
03:02:15.680 --> 03:02:18.520
Don't worry. The plane's on automatic pilot.

3118
03:02:19.440 --> 03:02:22.040
Well, missus Miller, did you enjoy your stinger?

3119
03:02:22.639 --> 03:02:23.959
Perhaps you like a ring beat.

3120
03:02:26.000 --> 03:02:28.239
The scene in the control room of the plane is

3121
03:02:28.440 --> 03:02:31.879
enough to turn anyone's blood to water. In the co

3122
03:02:32.120 --> 03:02:35.159
pilot's seat, Guvn. Fletcher is half slumped to the floor

3123
03:02:35.719 --> 03:02:39.239
out cool. In the pilot's seat to the left. Captain

3124
03:02:39.319 --> 03:02:42.840
Thomas is valiantly trying to fight off his blackout.

3125
03:02:42.959 --> 03:02:45.159
But only half conscious himself.

3126
03:02:46.520 --> 03:02:51.559
Like one three is there? See you rescue?

3127
03:02:52.319 --> 03:02:55.079
Do you do you read?

3128
03:02:56.280 --> 03:03:02.680
I'm a doctor, Captain. What's trouble in the stomach? How

3129
03:03:03.000 --> 03:03:03.600
to flow up?

3130
03:03:03.680 --> 03:03:07.719
But I can let's see the double I can't keep my.

3131
03:03:07.799 --> 03:03:13.639
Eyelids from clothing. Let us have a look. The same

3132
03:03:13.719 --> 03:03:14.840
with your co pilot.

3133
03:03:15.079 --> 03:03:19.319
Yeah, did you heat together before you left on this flight?

3134
03:03:19.479 --> 03:03:23.879
I know we both have the same pie in Miami

3135
03:03:24.600 --> 03:03:27.440
place called Anne babies form.

3136
03:03:27.239 --> 03:03:32.319
Can ship from I don't sound so I'm afraid.

3137
03:03:36.120 --> 03:03:37.000
How are they doctor?

3138
03:03:37.479 --> 03:03:38.280
What's your name again?

3139
03:03:38.479 --> 03:03:38.760
Friend?

3140
03:03:39.120 --> 03:03:39.840
Okay, fred?

3141
03:03:40.879 --> 03:03:43.280
I ain't got to make a snap diagnosis and damn

3142
03:03:43.360 --> 03:03:46.680
little information. Looks like we have a couple of cases

3143
03:03:46.719 --> 03:03:51.360
of botulism. That's kind of food poisoning that affects the

3144
03:03:51.440 --> 03:03:55.760
nervous system. Both of them are in coma, and there's

3145
03:03:55.799 --> 03:03:57.440
some toxins that might be helpful.

3146
03:03:58.000 --> 03:03:59.079
I don't have them in my bag.

3147
03:04:00.000 --> 03:04:01.600
The best we're going to do is get plenty of

3148
03:04:01.719 --> 03:04:03.159
cold towels and hope.

3149
03:04:02.959 --> 03:04:04.559
That we can bring one of them out of it.

3150
03:04:04.959 --> 03:04:08.559
If we don't, we are in real trouble.

3151
03:04:09.760 --> 03:04:11.319
Any idea of our ata.

3152
03:04:11.879 --> 03:04:14.559
About midnights theattle time, that's about an.

3153
03:04:14.520 --> 03:04:15.079
Hour and a half.

3154
03:04:15.520 --> 03:04:16.840
It's about well.

3155
03:04:18.000 --> 03:04:20.239
The first thing is to try to save these boys.

3156
03:04:21.479 --> 03:04:23.399
Can you call back on the intercom to one of

3157
03:04:23.440 --> 03:04:24.440
the other hostesses and.

3158
03:04:24.520 --> 03:04:26.399
Get some ice and play it towels?

3159
03:04:26.600 --> 03:04:30.840
Yes, sir, yeah, First, help me move the captain out

3160
03:04:30.879 --> 03:04:31.440
of the floor.

3161
03:04:37.239 --> 03:04:39.159
DCD, know what you want to control.

3162
03:04:39.399 --> 03:04:42.239
Take a deep breath on you sound like you's bought enough.

3163
03:04:42.159 --> 03:04:43.600
News for me to possible are out.

3164
03:04:43.719 --> 03:04:45.760
It isn't good, but I'm counting on you.

3165
03:04:46.120 --> 03:04:49.360
You put it that way from you can come only have.

3166
03:04:49.559 --> 03:04:51.559
Much of trouble up front, but we don't want to

3167
03:04:51.559 --> 03:04:52.840
get the passengers panicked.

3168
03:04:53.639 --> 03:04:55.760
Sure, but kay, what goes?

3169
03:04:55.959 --> 03:04:57.920
We need all the ice and towels we can get

3170
03:04:58.000 --> 03:05:00.760
up front, use the drink card of the and come

3171
03:05:00.879 --> 03:05:02.440
throw as fast as you can't.

3172
03:05:02.959 --> 03:05:04.360
And kada leave it the way.

3173
03:05:04.600 --> 03:05:09.879
Is you all right?

3174
03:05:09.959 --> 03:05:10.239
Baby?

3175
03:05:10.760 --> 03:05:11.559
I'm fine?

3176
03:05:11.760 --> 03:05:14.680
Why fred I don't know. You seem to be sort

3177
03:05:14.719 --> 03:05:16.319
of squirming around.

3178
03:05:16.559 --> 03:05:17.159
That isn't me.

3179
03:05:17.639 --> 03:05:18.840
It's your first born.

3180
03:05:18.920 --> 03:05:20.879
If he comes to hostess with a card knock, he

3181
03:05:20.959 --> 03:05:21.840
wants some milk or something.

3182
03:05:22.159 --> 03:05:25.000
You were shut in air maybe active, but he's not

3183
03:05:25.239 --> 03:05:26.559
quite ready for that yet.

3184
03:05:27.079 --> 03:05:27.959
What milk?

3185
03:05:29.520 --> 03:05:29.879
I don't know.

3186
03:05:30.079 --> 03:05:33.559
Jackie may get the notion you're working me over. Maybe

3187
03:05:33.639 --> 03:05:34.920
we shouldn't have taken this trip.

3188
03:05:35.120 --> 03:05:38.600
Why not because you resent it. I just thought, you know,

3189
03:05:38.680 --> 03:05:40.879
a first baby and all you'd be safer in Seattle

3190
03:05:40.920 --> 03:05:43.399
with mom, and then all alone in Kansas City.

3191
03:05:43.920 --> 03:05:45.559
I wasn't exactly alone there.

3192
03:05:45.840 --> 03:05:48.879
Well, you didn't have any kids, hope to help us.

3193
03:05:49.159 --> 03:05:51.520
Did it ever occur to you, I'd just like to

3194
03:05:51.639 --> 03:05:53.239
have my baby by myself.

3195
03:05:54.040 --> 03:05:56.360
Oh, it's my baby too, Sure it is.

3196
03:05:57.280 --> 03:06:00.239
You've just got to excuse us uptight females. The end

3197
03:06:00.280 --> 03:06:03.879
of the pregnancy route, we forget it's anything but just

3198
03:06:04.079 --> 03:06:04.799
us in junior.

3199
03:06:05.600 --> 03:06:09.120
You're the only two the count, and you first.

3200
03:06:09.440 --> 03:06:13.200
Cheer up, Honey, everything's going to be all right. I

3201
03:06:13.600 --> 03:06:16.639
was thinking about something cold to drink, But we missed

3202
03:06:16.680 --> 03:06:20.559
the boat, or I should say, card denez is already

3203
03:06:20.600 --> 03:06:22.000
all the way through the first class.

3204
03:06:22.319 --> 03:06:23.200
I could go and get us.

3205
03:06:23.200 --> 03:06:24.520
No, no, no, it doesn't matter.

3206
03:06:25.239 --> 03:06:27.440
So I'll catch her them fly the way back.

3207
03:06:32.079 --> 03:06:37.719
Who dens with the towels and ice? Dolement? Let me

3208
03:06:37.799 --> 03:06:41.399
in quick, big nose? There is smelling trouble. Who the

3209
03:06:41.559 --> 03:06:43.360
lady with the singers, Oh.

3210
03:06:43.360 --> 03:06:45.959
She doesn't matter. Help me and the doctor get some

3211
03:06:46.040 --> 03:06:47.559
cold towels on the captain and Doug.

3212
03:06:48.040 --> 03:06:51.200
They are pasted out. I hope that's all. Then who

3213
03:06:51.319 --> 03:06:53.600
is flying the blade? That's a good question.

3214
03:06:58.159 --> 03:07:01.159
It's no use. Girls, they're in deep coma.

3215
03:07:01.799 --> 03:07:02.920
Can't you bring them out of it?

3216
03:07:03.319 --> 03:07:06.360
I doubted? Do we get them hospitalized?

3217
03:07:06.879 --> 03:07:11.319
If then they're not going to die from food poisoning,

3218
03:07:11.840 --> 03:07:17.000
botualism that may be academic unless we figure out some

3219
03:07:17.120 --> 03:07:22.559
way to land this plane either you pilots, no, not me.

3220
03:07:23.399 --> 03:07:24.799
Are we dead heading any back?

3221
03:07:24.840 --> 03:07:28.639
There no jet manifesto, I've had it right here.

3222
03:07:29.159 --> 03:07:30.639
None of our pilots.

3223
03:07:30.719 --> 03:07:32.079
Anyone on the list who flies?

3224
03:07:32.520 --> 03:07:33.040
I doubt it.

3225
03:07:34.200 --> 03:07:39.159
No, So that leaves me you're a pilot.

3226
03:07:40.000 --> 03:07:44.079
In a matter of speaking, Before my wife died, when

3227
03:07:44.159 --> 03:07:47.399
we lived in Wenatchki, I used to share beat up

3228
03:07:47.479 --> 03:07:51.280
old Cherokee one prop plane with another doctor. Only way

3229
03:07:51.280 --> 03:07:56.479
to get the patients in outlying areas. I guess that's

3230
03:07:56.520 --> 03:07:58.959
what got Pete all strung out on fly.

3231
03:08:00.840 --> 03:08:04.280
That was small potatoes. It's over six years since I

3232
03:08:04.399 --> 03:08:05.319
touched the controls.

3233
03:08:06.719 --> 03:08:07.600
What can I do with this?

3234
03:08:08.440 --> 03:08:11.440
Somebody's got to do something, not only to save the

3235
03:08:11.559 --> 03:08:14.159
captain and dug lives, but thirty four more of us,

3236
03:08:14.319 --> 03:08:14.959
including you.

3237
03:08:15.879 --> 03:08:17.879
Well, what do we got to lose?

3238
03:08:18.920 --> 03:08:20.920
You keep those coal towels on the captain on the

3239
03:08:20.959 --> 03:08:23.760
floor and will leave the coat pilot in a seat

3240
03:08:23.840 --> 03:08:24.520
to save room.

3241
03:08:25.520 --> 03:08:25.719
Doc.

3242
03:08:26.879 --> 03:08:31.920
Oh, this maze the forest Prime egle all right, give

3243
03:08:31.920 --> 03:08:32.600
me the headphones.

3244
03:08:33.760 --> 03:08:36.399
Now where's radio in this mess? Right here?

3245
03:08:36.520 --> 03:08:39.639
Doctor, But they were having trouble with the regular frequencies.

3246
03:08:40.040 --> 03:08:41.079
What's it said on now?

3247
03:08:41.399 --> 03:08:45.239
I don't know Army Air rescue emergency maybe, So.

3248
03:08:45.760 --> 03:08:51.879
Let's see what we can raise. Hello, Hello, anyone, and

3249
03:08:52.040 --> 03:08:53.639
you call me. Can you hear me?

3250
03:08:53.959 --> 03:08:57.319
We are receiving identify yourself please?

3251
03:08:57.760 --> 03:08:59.879
Oh sure, there's doctor Sam McCall.

3252
03:09:00.000 --> 03:09:01.840
We are awaiting identification.

3253
03:09:02.280 --> 03:09:03.200
I just told you this.

3254
03:09:05.520 --> 03:09:08.159
I guess I have to remember to press down the

3255
03:09:08.239 --> 03:09:09.959
button on the wheel for you to hear me.

3256
03:09:11.120 --> 03:09:12.159
We can hear your reply.

3257
03:09:12.799 --> 03:09:13.319
What did you say?

3258
03:09:13.920 --> 03:09:15.799
Wait a minute, what did you say?

3259
03:09:16.120 --> 03:09:17.000
Let go of the button.

3260
03:09:17.639 --> 03:09:20.920
Oh, to explain to you that to receive us, you

3261
03:09:21.040 --> 03:09:24.559
must release the red button on the wheel and to

3262
03:09:24.879 --> 03:09:28.680
transmit you must press it down over to you.

3263
03:09:29.680 --> 03:09:30.079
I get it.

3264
03:09:30.680 --> 03:09:31.799
Then what do you identify?

3265
03:09:32.520 --> 03:09:32.760
Sure?

3266
03:09:33.799 --> 03:09:38.520
I'm doctor Sam McCall, Pete McCall's father.

3267
03:09:39.680 --> 03:09:44.440
You go, my son, very well, but that doesn't matter

3268
03:09:44.520 --> 03:09:45.040
for the moment.

3269
03:09:45.760 --> 03:09:47.399
When do you identify your aircraft?

3270
03:09:47.760 --> 03:09:47.920
Oh?

3271
03:09:48.200 --> 03:09:52.319
Yes, this is flight what's the number one one three

3272
03:09:52.719 --> 03:09:54.159
Transways Airlines?

3273
03:09:54.799 --> 03:09:56.600
And as you hang in here, I'm going back to

3274
03:09:56.680 --> 03:09:58.200
check the passengers.

3275
03:09:58.079 --> 03:10:02.479
The flight one one three Trensway's hair line. Oh yes,

3276
03:10:03.040 --> 03:10:06.319
you're the may Day that's us, brother, Well, can you

3277
03:10:06.639 --> 03:10:10.120
give us your position? I can try, but with this

3278
03:10:10.399 --> 03:10:14.120
maze of instruments, I'm not familiar with them. Where are

3279
03:10:14.200 --> 03:10:18.760
your pilots both in a coma botulism poisoning.

3280
03:10:19.079 --> 03:10:21.280
Any chance they'll be out of it within the next

3281
03:10:21.440 --> 03:10:23.040
hour and a half hard.

3282
03:10:22.920 --> 03:10:27.440
To tell, I'd say, kind of doubtful. They both hit

3283
03:10:27.559 --> 03:10:29.600
so bad it's a toss up where they can hold

3284
03:10:29.639 --> 03:10:31.520
out against respiratory paralysis.

3285
03:10:31.840 --> 03:10:34.520
And there's no other qualified commercial pilot aboard.

3286
03:10:34.920 --> 03:10:35.360
That's right.

3287
03:10:36.280 --> 03:10:39.319
The only guy ever flew anything as me, And then

3288
03:10:39.399 --> 03:10:41.680
it was just a little one lung Cherokee prop.

3289
03:10:41.799 --> 03:10:43.239
You flew by the seat of your pants.

3290
03:10:43.799 --> 03:10:46.159
If you can fly at Cherokee, you can fly at

3291
03:10:46.239 --> 03:10:46.879
DC nine.

3292
03:10:47.399 --> 03:10:50.120
You're going to have to teach me, brother, And I

3293
03:10:50.280 --> 03:10:52.399
sure hope you can in the next hour and a half,

3294
03:10:53.120 --> 03:10:55.239
because if you don't tell me how to bring it down,

3295
03:10:55.479 --> 03:10:58.440
I guess we're just gonna head out over the Pacific

3296
03:10:58.559 --> 03:11:01.799
till we run out of gas drop into the sea.

3297
03:11:06.440 --> 03:11:10.280
A situation to challenge the worst nightmare you ever dreamed.

3298
03:11:11.360 --> 03:11:14.559
Behind him are over thirty people depending on him for

3299
03:11:14.680 --> 03:11:20.680
their lives. Facing him is a mass of instruments, dials, switches, buttons,

3300
03:11:20.719 --> 03:11:24.959
and levers, most of them unfamiliar to him, which control

3301
03:11:25.120 --> 03:11:28.319
one hundred plus tons of airplane that he must put

3302
03:11:28.440 --> 03:11:31.920
down on the ground safely within a short span of

3303
03:11:32.120 --> 03:11:35.399
ninety minutes. I shall return as soon as I can

3304
03:11:35.799 --> 03:11:41.639
with Act three, Like the.

3305
03:11:41.719 --> 03:11:54.920
Carnival, I like to.

3306
03:12:06.440 --> 03:12:09.000
When you get really.

3307
03:12:10.360 --> 03:12:11.200
Is where there's.

3308
03:12:12.959 --> 03:12:15.239
The riet around the corner.

3309
03:12:25.079 --> 03:12:27.799
It's happy eating at the Sonic Drive in at twelve

3310
03:12:27.959 --> 03:12:31.280
ten West Miller Road in Garland, because Tonic in.

3311
03:12:31.319 --> 03:12:42.040
Summertime, go together, Oh great Spirit.

3312
03:12:42.239 --> 03:12:45.760
Whose voice and the winds idea and whose breath do

3313
03:12:45.799 --> 03:12:47.520
you give life to all the world?

3314
03:12:47.920 --> 03:12:48.280
Hear me?

3315
03:12:49.120 --> 03:12:52.000
The voice is paradiseed coding of the Cherokee Nation.

3316
03:12:52.760 --> 03:12:55.479
The words are a prayer for spoken four hundred.

3317
03:12:55.280 --> 03:12:58.760
Years ago by his people, of people who loved the land,

3318
03:12:59.520 --> 03:13:03.040
make me walk, and you make my heart respect all

3319
03:13:03.159 --> 03:13:05.360
you have made, make me wise.

3320
03:13:05.200 --> 03:13:07.440
And I mean know all you have taught my people

3321
03:13:07.840 --> 03:13:11.959
the lessons who have hidden in every rock in some Americans.

3322
03:13:12.000 --> 03:13:15.079
Today that spirit is reborn throughout the land.

3323
03:13:15.319 --> 03:13:18.719
Areas of bufalos, litter and pollution are being restored to

3324
03:13:18.799 --> 03:13:19.760
their natural beauty.

3325
03:13:20.280 --> 03:13:22.159
And yet we still have so far to goo.

3326
03:13:22.879 --> 03:13:24.520
So everyone must get involved.

3327
03:13:24.840 --> 03:13:28.440
To contact the Keep America Beautiful team there ist you right,

3328
03:13:28.600 --> 03:13:32.840
Keep America Beautiful, ninety nine Park Avenue, New York, New York.

3329
03:13:33.200 --> 03:13:35.559
People start pollution, people.

3330
03:13:35.360 --> 03:13:36.000
Can stop it.

3331
03:13:36.680 --> 03:13:39.680
A public service message in this station and the advertising Council.

3332
03:13:52.959 --> 03:13:56.319
He sits in the cockpit of a fore engine jet monster,

3333
03:13:56.600 --> 03:14:01.799
thirty one thousand feet above the ground alone, a sixty

3334
03:14:01.879 --> 03:14:05.079
five year old man who joined this flight with nothing

3335
03:14:05.159 --> 03:14:10.079
but death on his mind. Doctor Sam McCall, widow word,

3336
03:14:10.680 --> 03:14:13.360
now flying to pick up the coffin and the body

3337
03:14:13.399 --> 03:14:16.319
of his pilot's son who died tragically.

3338
03:14:15.879 --> 03:14:17.239
In a crash on Guam.

3339
03:14:18.600 --> 03:14:22.440
Now suddenly, by a massive wrench of fate, he is

3340
03:14:22.600 --> 03:14:26.520
thrown back into the stream of life because he is

3341
03:14:26.600 --> 03:14:29.959
the only person aboard who can fly this plane and

3342
03:14:30.239 --> 03:14:33.520
landing it safely depends on the quiet.

3343
03:14:33.360 --> 03:14:35.120
Voice in his headphones.

3344
03:14:36.079 --> 03:14:36.559
Now, did you.

3345
03:14:36.680 --> 03:14:37.760
Locate the altimeter?

3346
03:14:38.639 --> 03:14:38.840
Yeah?

3347
03:14:38.879 --> 03:14:39.239
I have it.

3348
03:14:39.600 --> 03:14:40.360
What does it read?

3349
03:14:41.319 --> 03:14:42.360
Thirty ten?

3350
03:14:42.639 --> 03:14:43.399
Good? Good?

3351
03:14:44.200 --> 03:14:47.120
Now you're at thirty one thousand, and that is your

3352
03:14:47.159 --> 03:14:49.040
altitude until further instructions.

3353
03:14:49.799 --> 03:14:54.440
Look at the instrument panel. I hate to excuse the

3354
03:14:54.479 --> 03:14:55.000
hell out of me.

3355
03:14:56.079 --> 03:14:59.920
There's the bank of turned indicator and this looks like

3356
03:15:00.000 --> 03:15:02.079
I think it could be the airspeed indicator.

3357
03:15:02.239 --> 03:15:06.120
So just take it easy, Doc, You've got this thing licked.

3358
03:15:06.600 --> 03:15:07.639
You know enough about it?

3359
03:15:08.440 --> 03:15:13.239
Okay, Doc confirm Hey I like the doc part too.

3360
03:15:14.440 --> 03:15:16.760
Something about having a name makes me feel more at home.

3361
03:15:17.920 --> 03:15:20.159
Do I get one for you, affirmative?

3362
03:15:20.840 --> 03:15:22.040
This is Colonel Blake?

3363
03:15:22.879 --> 03:15:25.680
Okay, Colonel, Well here's our titles.

3364
03:15:27.239 --> 03:15:28.959
Now, how do I fly this? Crazy?

3365
03:15:29.159 --> 03:15:33.000
That's a breeze, Doc to just look down and you'll

3366
03:15:33.040 --> 03:15:37.040
see the rudder pedals. Put your feet on them. Now

3367
03:15:37.639 --> 03:15:41.040
look for your air speed indicator and get familiar with it.

3368
03:15:41.920 --> 03:15:46.440
That's the one left of the two circles. Dead ahead. Yeah,

3369
03:15:46.479 --> 03:15:49.280
I got it, enough of That is your climb and

3370
03:15:49.399 --> 03:15:50.200
dive indicator.

3371
03:15:51.120 --> 03:15:51.520
I see it.

3372
03:15:52.520 --> 03:15:56.959
Directly to your right are stabilizer and trim levers. Now

3373
03:15:58.159 --> 03:15:59.360
you come to your throttles.

3374
03:16:00.280 --> 03:16:04.000
They should be set at cruising speed. What is your

3375
03:16:04.040 --> 03:16:05.040
ear speed indicator?

3376
03:16:05.120 --> 03:16:05.319
Read?

3377
03:16:06.120 --> 03:16:08.879
I have four eighty five roger.

3378
03:16:09.399 --> 03:16:13.319
That's right where she should be. Now the pedestal, those

3379
03:16:13.360 --> 03:16:18.840
are the yellow throttles. The forward increases your speed check.

3380
03:16:19.319 --> 03:16:24.520
Shake a back decreases right right, right, But they must

3381
03:16:24.559 --> 03:16:26.440
be coordinated and gentle.

3382
03:16:27.079 --> 03:16:31.360
Now do you locate the automatic pilot switch. It's up

3383
03:16:31.399 --> 03:16:35.319
there on the console over your head, to the right slightly.

3384
03:16:36.120 --> 03:16:37.120
Yeah, I have a colonel.

3385
03:16:37.200 --> 03:16:40.479
Now you are ready to fly the plane?

3386
03:16:40.559 --> 03:16:42.760
Doctor, he who knows what?

3387
03:16:43.600 --> 03:16:46.600
Now you've flown before? This baby's ja just a little

3388
03:16:46.600 --> 03:16:51.040
bit bigger. Now, hands on the wheel, feed on the runners,

3389
03:16:52.200 --> 03:16:55.719
reach forward and flip off automatic.

3390
03:16:56.479 --> 03:17:00.639
Shake What she lurks?

3391
03:17:00.719 --> 03:17:00.760
Not?

3392
03:17:00.959 --> 03:17:04.399
No, No, that's to be expected. You now have control

3393
03:17:04.479 --> 03:17:09.079
of the aircraft. Keep her just as she is. Watch

3394
03:17:09.120 --> 03:17:13.239
your climb and dive indicator, watch your ear speed all

3395
03:17:13.559 --> 03:17:14.319
it steady?

3396
03:17:16.479 --> 03:17:17.200
How's she coming?

3397
03:17:18.280 --> 03:17:23.399
Brother? What a difference? I can feel every ton of her.

3398
03:17:24.000 --> 03:17:26.000
It sluggish, heavy.

3399
03:17:26.159 --> 03:17:27.079
Don't let her fool you.

3400
03:17:27.959 --> 03:17:31.559
Sure, sure she feels different from a Cherokee. But remember, Doc,

3401
03:17:31.680 --> 03:17:35.360
all controls are on serble mechanism, the reacting you over

3402
03:17:35.520 --> 03:17:38.360
the slightest touch, the like power controls in a car.

3403
03:17:39.440 --> 03:17:43.079
And we're gonna let you feel that out very very gently.

3404
03:17:43.159 --> 03:17:45.120
We're gonna have you descend a little.

3405
03:17:45.920 --> 03:17:49.120
Okay, Doc, you're the boss, colonel.

3406
03:17:49.200 --> 03:17:54.000
Justin you take over, So rip the four knobs in

3407
03:17:54.120 --> 03:17:58.040
the center. We're gonna ease up on the throttle. Not

3408
03:17:58.760 --> 03:18:04.600
so fast, easy, ease it off. You notice it's getting quiet?

3409
03:18:05.200 --> 03:18:09.520
Now easy? Push forward slowly.

3410
03:18:09.239 --> 03:18:13.959
On the wheel, boy, She responds, quick, full.

3411
03:18:13.840 --> 03:18:20.920
Back, all back now the ease forward again. You notice

3412
03:18:20.959 --> 03:18:21.840
she's going quiet?

3413
03:18:22.840 --> 03:18:25.319
Yeah, I don't like it.

3414
03:18:25.440 --> 03:18:29.360
That's the way she goes. Now push forward on the wheel.

3415
03:18:30.000 --> 03:18:34.239
Easy, easy, she's getting away from me.

3416
03:18:34.799 --> 03:18:38.200
Took it right out of my head. But slow, Yeah,

3417
03:18:38.239 --> 03:18:40.559
I am. But she's puffing like a stree.

3418
03:18:40.600 --> 03:18:44.719
You're over correcting, easy, Edie, does it? Remember Doc, it's

3419
03:18:45.000 --> 03:18:49.479
justin touch the serbo mechanism. Does all rest? Now, bring

3420
03:18:49.559 --> 03:18:50.600
your nose down.

3421
03:18:51.280 --> 03:18:51.600
Will go.

3422
03:18:52.079 --> 03:18:53.399
That's a comforting gold word.

3423
03:18:54.600 --> 03:19:00.360
It's all scary, real scary. Are you going? Oh right,

3424
03:19:00.360 --> 03:19:00.920
I'm making you.

3425
03:19:01.079 --> 03:19:02.040
Can cut it, Doc.

3426
03:19:02.840 --> 03:19:05.639
As soon as we get you off top again, we're

3427
03:19:05.680 --> 03:19:08.399
gonna dry banking left and right a little.

3428
03:19:09.040 --> 03:19:11.159
Just so you have the plane well in hand.

3429
03:19:16.319 --> 03:19:16.520
Huh.

3430
03:19:17.479 --> 03:19:18.479
What is a Jackie baby?

3431
03:19:20.440 --> 03:19:20.760
Baby?

3432
03:19:23.399 --> 03:19:27.319
I'm afraid, yes, it's so near.

3433
03:19:28.360 --> 03:19:30.719
The peans romans every minute.

3434
03:19:30.959 --> 03:19:33.959
Oh oh lord, what are we gonna do.

3435
03:19:34.760 --> 03:19:37.120
I'll try to hold on, honestly I will.

3436
03:19:37.200 --> 03:19:41.360
But Stewardess friend, it's Jackie, it's my wife.

3437
03:19:42.120 --> 03:19:43.639
She's having the baby here.

3438
03:19:44.040 --> 03:19:46.799
Help me get these seatbacks down in front, stretch her out.

3439
03:19:47.000 --> 03:19:50.760
I'll get blankets. I now, Yes, get up to the

3440
03:19:50.840 --> 03:19:53.959
cockpit and tell doctor missus Pearce's baby is coming.

3441
03:19:54.479 --> 03:19:55.840
I'll do my best to handle it.

3442
03:19:55.920 --> 03:19:58.000
I'll try not to bother him, but I might have

3443
03:19:58.159 --> 03:19:59.879
to call for instructions on the intercom.

3444
03:20:00.120 --> 03:20:02.520
Sure, sure, so get going.

3445
03:20:04.520 --> 03:20:09.280
Ladies and gentlemen, listen to me, please, there is no

3446
03:20:09.680 --> 03:20:10.719
reason for panic.

3447
03:20:11.360 --> 03:20:12.920
The plane is in good hands.

3448
03:20:13.959 --> 03:20:16.479
I want to get all of us as far back

3449
03:20:16.520 --> 03:20:18.079
towards the tail as we can.

3450
03:20:19.040 --> 03:20:20.559
Everyone find their life.

3451
03:20:20.399 --> 03:20:24.479
Jackets and inflate them as instructed when we were taking off.

3452
03:20:25.280 --> 03:20:27.920
We have a lady who is about to deliver her child.

3453
03:20:28.920 --> 03:20:31.479
I'm asking you to the rear as much for her

3454
03:20:31.600 --> 03:20:33.920
privacy as for any other reason.

3455
03:20:34.879 --> 03:20:37.040
We are all going to be all right.

3456
03:20:38.120 --> 03:20:40.840
If the Good Lord grants us a new somebody into

3457
03:20:40.920 --> 03:20:41.319
the world.

3458
03:20:42.000 --> 03:20:44.479
He sure doesn't plan to take all the rest of

3459
03:20:44.600 --> 03:20:54.840
us out of it. Excuse me, doctor, how is it going?

3460
03:20:55.360 --> 03:20:56.200
I'm not so bad.

3461
03:20:56.319 --> 03:20:59.920
Now back on automatic, taking a little rest.

3462
03:21:01.360 --> 03:21:04.239
How's everything back there? Oh? Not fad and not good.

3463
03:21:04.639 --> 03:21:05.680
I mean Fran.

3464
03:21:06.000 --> 03:21:07.959
She asked me to tell you she is handling it,

3465
03:21:08.319 --> 03:21:10.399
but she might have to call by the intercom in

3466
03:21:10.479 --> 03:21:13.799
case because there's a lady having a baby.

3467
03:21:14.079 --> 03:21:17.600
Oh that's nice. Oh, try to set it down easy

3468
03:21:17.639 --> 03:21:19.600
as I can. When is it do?

3469
03:21:20.239 --> 03:21:23.239
I don't know exactly when, but it's on the way right.

3470
03:21:23.200 --> 03:21:26.760
Now, in the midst of death. We are in life?

3471
03:21:27.959 --> 03:21:29.719
Or is the other way around?

3472
03:21:31.079 --> 03:21:32.079
Does Fran know what to do?

3473
03:21:33.159 --> 03:21:33.680
I don't know.

3474
03:21:34.319 --> 03:21:35.639
She said she would do her a this.

3475
03:21:35.920 --> 03:21:38.159
But what's that intercom?

3476
03:21:38.680 --> 03:21:39.719
You throw this switch here?

3477
03:21:39.879 --> 03:21:40.040
Oh?

3478
03:21:40.959 --> 03:21:43.760
Hello, hello doctor, it's France.

3479
03:21:44.159 --> 03:21:46.360
Everything okay up there for the moment.

3480
03:21:46.959 --> 03:21:47.639
I'm sorry to.

3481
03:21:47.680 --> 03:21:50.399
Bother you, but I have a problem the lady who

3482
03:21:50.479 --> 03:21:51.079
is giving birth.

3483
03:21:51.280 --> 03:21:55.559
Yes, the baby is coming, but it's positioned the wrong way.

3484
03:21:56.440 --> 03:21:57.159
Breach birth.

3485
03:21:58.239 --> 03:21:59.479
Look, you can't handle that.

3486
03:22:00.239 --> 03:22:00.719
I'll tell you what.

3487
03:22:01.559 --> 03:22:03.920
We have an odd twenty five minutes to play around with.

3488
03:22:04.479 --> 03:22:09.399
Hold everything, I'll be right back Flight one one three

3489
03:22:09.639 --> 03:22:10.200
to control.

3490
03:22:10.639 --> 03:22:11.479
I am receiving you.

3491
03:22:12.120 --> 03:22:14.559
Well, how much time do I have before we start

3492
03:22:14.639 --> 03:22:15.399
decent approach?

3493
03:22:15.680 --> 03:22:17.520
Twenty five thirty minutes?

3494
03:22:17.559 --> 03:22:19.319
All right, Then to hang on till I get back

3495
03:22:19.360 --> 03:22:23.799
to you. Before I try to land this plane, I

3496
03:22:23.920 --> 03:22:27.520
got to do something I really know about. I've got

3497
03:22:27.559 --> 03:22:36.440
to go deliver a baby. This is flight one thirteen

3498
03:22:37.079 --> 03:22:38.879
of my term to control.

3499
03:22:39.120 --> 03:22:41.440
We have you, Doc, how's the baby?

3500
03:22:42.200 --> 03:22:45.440
A fine boy? Kind of makes up a little for

3501
03:22:45.559 --> 03:22:48.239
my own. How do we stand?

3502
03:22:48.840 --> 03:22:52.639
You're ready to get off automatic and commence descent at

3503
03:22:52.719 --> 03:22:54.399
four hundred and eighty five knots.

3504
03:22:54.760 --> 03:22:57.920
You should be coming down at fifteen hundred feet.

3505
03:22:58.000 --> 03:23:02.159
Per minute, Roger, I'm now commencing dissent.

3506
03:23:04.159 --> 03:23:04.639
Very good.

3507
03:23:05.360 --> 03:23:09.600
Now, all that dissent rate to eighteen hundred feet a minute,

3508
03:23:10.319 --> 03:23:12.120
and then we'll go into landing approach.

3509
03:23:13.120 --> 03:23:15.200
Funny thing, Colonel, what's that?

3510
03:23:15.360 --> 03:23:15.680
Doctor?

3511
03:23:16.319 --> 03:23:21.079
I just accomplished something very difficult, bringing one life into

3512
03:23:21.159 --> 03:23:26.040
the world. I hope I'm successful in keeping thirty seven

3513
03:23:26.159 --> 03:23:29.440
lives protected that are already here.

3514
03:23:36.000 --> 03:23:39.239
We're now coming in on your final approach. The descent

3515
03:23:39.440 --> 03:23:41.280
is fine. How do you feel?

3516
03:23:41.760 --> 03:23:44.440
Oh, I'm okay, going a little fast?

3517
03:23:45.280 --> 03:23:51.159
No, no, okay, all right, now we lower the wheels.

3518
03:23:51.559 --> 03:23:56.959
You remember the exercise affirm pull out rear lever and

3519
03:23:57.360 --> 03:24:05.280
pushed down. Watch the three lights indicating wheels down. I agree, okay,

3520
03:24:05.399 --> 03:24:06.840
the landing gear is down.

3521
03:24:07.760 --> 03:24:10.639
We have you in sight. Now give her some throttle

3522
03:24:10.920 --> 03:24:12.360
as the gear slows you down.

3523
03:24:13.079 --> 03:24:15.680
I feel the drag boards.

3524
03:24:15.760 --> 03:24:17.399
Rob to watch the flap indicator.

3525
03:24:18.040 --> 03:24:22.120
You remember, yeah, I remember? Ten degrees of flaps at.

3526
03:24:22.000 --> 03:24:27.840
It confirmed, Roger, Old there, maintain air speed at one

3527
03:24:28.000 --> 03:24:28.719
twenty seven.

3528
03:24:29.319 --> 03:24:30.360
That maintaining speed.

3529
03:24:30.399 --> 03:24:33.639
You're doing fine. To keep your feet on the pedals,

3530
03:24:33.959 --> 03:24:35.280
keep her nice in the level.

3531
03:24:36.280 --> 03:24:37.239
Can you see the runway?

3532
03:24:38.040 --> 03:24:38.879
I see you all right?

3533
03:24:38.920 --> 03:24:43.120
All right, now, maintain all configurations. You're doing just fine. Doctors, fine,

3534
03:24:43.399 --> 03:24:46.319
we like the picture. Come as easy as you are.

3535
03:24:47.120 --> 03:24:48.799
I'm getting awful flows.

3536
03:24:48.879 --> 03:24:51.399
Just keep your nose up. Watch the ear speed.

3537
03:24:51.719 --> 03:24:54.959
Yeah, yeah, it is ten twenty.

3538
03:24:55.159 --> 03:24:58.600
That's as all right. You know you're slowing her up

3539
03:24:59.159 --> 03:25:00.959
and you're in So get your.

3540
03:25:00.879 --> 03:25:05.319
Breaks and drop your nose a firm, Hey, she's yours

3541

Firm, hold your attitude, keep back you up, back far back,

3543

keep back your back.

3544
03:25:12.879 --> 03:25:14.239
Push hard on those breaks.

3545
03:25:14.319 --> 03:25:15.360
Not push hard?

3546
03:25:16.360 --> 03:25:17.200
Should I reverse?

3547
03:25:17.280 --> 03:25:17.680
He Joe?

3548
03:25:17.840 --> 03:25:21.840
No, steady on the rudder pedals, keep that nose down.

3549
03:25:22.479 --> 03:25:24.239
Give it all you have on the brakes.

3550
03:25:30.760 --> 03:25:31.079

03:25:33.159 --> 03:25:34.000

and turning you over.

3554

The plane is down, and in the operations office of

3555
03:25:50.079 --> 03:25:53.000
the airport, the hero of the hour has been sequestered

3556

Was it you who talked me down? I don't understand

3562
03:26:13.840 --> 03:26:14.760
with somebody.

3563
03:26:14.479 --> 03:26:18.959
On ground communications landed that big crate without damage, not

03:26:28.879 --> 03:26:31.719
talking to myself. All I mean is that out of

3567
03:26:31.799 --> 03:26:34.879
Kansas City everyone lost contact with flight one one three.

3568
03:26:35.559 --> 03:26:37.719
As far as we're concerned, on the ground, only one

3569
03:26:37.799 --> 03:26:42.440
man set her down. Doctor Sam McCall, Yeah, but that's crazy.

3570
03:26:43.959 --> 03:26:46.840
Colonel Blake was the one who monitored every move I made.

3571
03:26:48.360 --> 03:26:52.239
If it wasn't for him, me and everyone aboard, including

3572
03:26:52.360 --> 03:26:55.520
the new young man, would have been gone.

3573
03:26:55.559 --> 03:26:55.879
Geese.

3574
03:26:56.799 --> 03:26:59.959
I couldn't have landed that skyscraper by myself. You say

3575
03:27:01.120 --> 03:27:04.239
you were in radio contact all the way for sure

3576
03:27:04.520 --> 03:27:08.680
with Colonel Blake. Colonel Jackson Blake.

3577
03:27:09.520 --> 03:27:12.319
I never did get his first name. Well, why you

3578
03:27:12.479 --> 03:27:12.840
know him?

3579
03:27:13.360 --> 03:27:18.159
But no, not personally, but well he was the pilot

3580
03:27:18.200 --> 03:27:22.479
of the plane in which your son crashed and all

3581
03:27:22.799 --> 03:27:28.440
personnel were lost. He said he knew my son Pete.

3582
03:27:30.879 --> 03:27:34.920
You're trying to say he was dead all the time. Well,

3583
03:27:35.000 --> 03:27:38.239
the only thing I know is that right beside your son,

3584
03:27:38.319 --> 03:27:42.239
petch coffin is one that contains a Colonel Blake. And

3585
03:27:42.399 --> 03:27:47.520
your radio was out cold, but no one else could.

3586
03:27:47.319 --> 03:27:48.159
Have talked you down.

3587
03:27:53.000 --> 03:27:54.200
What can you add to that?

3588
03:27:55.399 --> 03:27:59.000
An elderly man who hadn't touched a plane control in

3589
03:27:59.159 --> 03:28:04.479
six years and then only a single engine landed several

3590
03:28:04.639 --> 03:28:10.280
tons of modern multi engine jets by himself in radio silence.

3591
03:28:11.920 --> 03:28:13.799
Or was there some other.

3592
03:28:13.840 --> 03:28:19.239
Force beyond that which brought him home? You make up

3593
03:28:19.280 --> 03:28:19.840
your minds.

3594
03:28:21.239 --> 03:28:22.559
I'll be back shortly.

3595
03:28:52.760 --> 03:28:54.399
When you gave before.

3596
03:28:56.799 --> 03:28:57.559
Where there's.

3597
03:28:59.280 --> 03:29:13.600
The d around the corner by you, it's happy eating.

3598
03:29:13.680 --> 03:29:16.159
It's a sonic drive in in Stephenville.

3599
03:29:16.879 --> 03:29:18.799
Because sonic and semtime go toget.

3600
03:29:36.040 --> 03:29:38.760
I won't vouch for the story you just heard.

3601
03:29:39.680 --> 03:29:41.920
It's part and parcel of many legends.

3602
03:29:42.760 --> 03:29:45.639
There was a whole crew who got poisoned eating keey

3603
03:29:45.719 --> 03:29:49.639
lime pie. There is a story of the radio operator

3604
03:29:49.760 --> 03:29:53.280
of a sunken aircraft carrier who talked the plane home.

3605
03:29:54.120 --> 03:29:56.639
Tale of a dead son who brought his father down,

3606
03:29:56.719 --> 03:29:58.120
and so on and so on.

3607
03:29:59.159 --> 03:30:03.959
All we asked on this program is not belief, just

3608
03:30:04.399 --> 03:30:10.719
suspension of disbelief. Our cast included Robert Dryden, Jennifer Harmon,

3609
03:30:10.840 --> 03:30:15.520
Earl Hammond, Richard Seth and Hetty Galen. The entire production

3610
03:30:15.760 --> 03:30:17.639
was under the direction of Hyman Brown.

3611
03:30:19.040 --> 03:30:24.239
I do so appreciate you staying up so late with me.

3612
03:30:26.239 --> 03:30:29.319
Next week, when I hope to see you again, well

3613
03:30:31.000 --> 03:30:36.440
it will be so close to time. We may have

3614
03:30:36.559 --> 03:30:40.559
to do something special. At the very least, make the

3615
03:30:40.719 --> 03:30:45.959
most of what time we have left. Oh, but I'm

3616
03:30:46.000 --> 03:30:46.959
getting ahead of myself.

3617
03:30:47.000 --> 03:30:47.159
Now.

3618
03:30:47.520 --> 03:30:51.440
Why don't you just get ready and head back to

3619
03:30:51.559 --> 03:30:55.159
your home, and I'll spend my time wherever it is

3620
03:30:55.360 --> 03:31:00.719
I belong, and I'll be waiting right here for you,

3621
03:31:02.079 --> 03:31:07.159
my dear, But one favor if I may, As you

3622
03:31:07.280 --> 03:31:12.159
make your way home, As you enter your soft, delicate bedroom,

3623
03:31:12.280 --> 03:31:17.479
and lay your head on that cushy, cool pillow. Take

3624
03:31:17.559 --> 03:31:22.479
one moment and be thankful for what you have. I'll
