00:00:10.160 --> 00:00:14.320
Ah, welcome, my dear, so good to have you back.
2
00:00:15.839 --> 00:00:19.719
Do you ever have a song in your heart? You know,
3
00:00:20.120 --> 00:00:23.079
something that helps you whistle while you work, makes the
4
00:00:23.120 --> 00:00:28.359
whole day go by so quickly. Of course, you don't
5
00:00:28.399 --> 00:00:32.520
want it all to go by too quickly, and believe me,
6
00:00:33.719 --> 00:00:39.759
it does, Oh my, it does. But tonight we have
7
00:00:39.799 --> 00:00:47.039
a different kind of tune to enjoy. This is the
8
00:00:47.079 --> 00:00:53.000
song of the slash Air. I remember hearing this as
9
00:00:53.119 --> 00:00:59.399
us little boy on the radio idea and being so
10
00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:04.840
fright and right and excited. And I hope you enjoy
11
00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:07.799
it too. Now come, come, come, sit by the fire,
12
00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:12.959
get yourself comfortable, get yourself and let's listen. Listen now.
13
00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:24.280
Mm hmm, lift and tea, and left them still present
14
00:01:24.959 --> 00:01:42.920
in a thank the mystery, good evening friends of the Inn,
15
00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:46.799
I thank them. This is your host, Raymond the Gay Go.
16
00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:48.920
Friends.
17
00:01:48.920 --> 00:01:51.599
Would you like to fly through the air with a
18
00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:55.359
great Do you think you're enjoy being invisible?
19
00:01:57.000 --> 00:01:58.640
Oh it's easy.
20
00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:01.439
All you have to do is become a ghosts And
21
00:02:01.519 --> 00:02:04.200
to become a ghost, all you have to do is
22
00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:09.800
accentuate the ecto pleasum and eliminate the protopleasant me.
23
00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:12.599
If that doesn't work.
24
00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:15.599
We'll introduce you to one of the characters on our show.
25
00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:17.199
He'll take care of you.
26
00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:21.120
And that's the truth. What awful people on this show?
27
00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:22.879
Wherever do you find them?
28
00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:23.680
Mister Raymond?
29
00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:24.639
That's simple.
30
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:27.400
All you have to do is turn over a rock
31
00:02:27.479 --> 00:02:29.000
and out they come crawling.
32
00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:32.400
Hmm. And just suppose you were looking for decent people,
33
00:02:32.599 --> 00:02:33.639
how would you find them?
34
00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:34.039
Oh?
35
00:02:34.240 --> 00:02:36.280
Now, may you were the one who showed me how.
36
00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:39.639
I just go snooping around houses and peering in the windows,
37
00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:43.639
and I'd find all the nice people drinking lipt and tea.
38
00:02:43.719 --> 00:02:46.840
Oh dear, there you go making fun again. You know,
39
00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:49.800
maybe if you drink Lipton tea you wouldn't be such
40
00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:53.919
a bitter, unhappy person. Yes, there's something so warming and
41
00:02:54.039 --> 00:02:57.080
cheerful about Lipton. I guess that's why lots of folks
42
00:02:57.159 --> 00:03:00.120
drink it not only at meal times, but between meals
43
00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:02.240
or whenever they get a chance to sit down and
44
00:03:02.680 --> 00:03:08.360
enjoy Lipton's famous brisk flavor. That word brisk b rs
45
00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:11.520
K explains a lot when it comes to tea flavor.
46
00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:16.680
Brisk means that Lipton tea always tastes tangy and bracing.
47
00:03:16.919 --> 00:03:21.080
It's never flat or wishy washy. That's right. You just
48
00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:23.800
don't know how good tea can be till you know
49
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:25.159
how good Lipton's is.
50
00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:28.000
All right, Mary, as long as you're in the kitchen,
51
00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:31.319
you'd better sharpen up a couple of knives, as our
52
00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:35.439
main character tonight is going to use him. A story
53
00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:39.479
is called Song of the Slasher. It's an original radio
54
00:03:39.560 --> 00:03:43.840
play by Milton Lewis and stars Arnold Moss and the
55
00:03:43.919 --> 00:03:49.120
role of Detective Dan Miller. Are you ready then?
56
00:03:50.120 --> 00:03:51.520
Get it close and listen.
57
00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:56.000
You find you're getting too many chills and just sitting
58
00:03:56.120 --> 00:04:04.000
the fire. And a thick, murky fog hangs like a
59
00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:05.759
damp veil over the waterfront.
60
00:04:07.080 --> 00:04:08.639
Streets are deserted.
61
00:04:09.199 --> 00:04:13.240
The buildings loom like tombstones in a cemetery. No living
62
00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:16.600
soul can be seen because people who scents stay behind
63
00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:20.199
locked doors. The slasher has murdered and mutilated his fifth
64
00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:26.800
victim in eight days. In a dread lonely little room.
65
00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:28.600
A young woman suddenly looks up.
66
00:04:28.519 --> 00:04:34.759
When she hears a door c Wow, Well, what's the matter?
67
00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:36.240
Can't you speak?
68
00:04:37.839 --> 00:04:38.040
Hey?
69
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:38.839
You get away from me?
70
00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:41.279
Get back up that night?
71
00:04:41.839 --> 00:04:42.879
What are you doing that night?
72
00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:44.759
You're a flusher?
73
00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:46.639
Some one.
74
00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:55.319
It's the slasher.
75
00:04:55.480 --> 00:04:56.480
What are you talking about?
76
00:04:57.319 --> 00:04:58.720
Twelve upstairs?
77
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:00.800
I can hear it screaming.
78
00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:01.839
Now he's wizard.
79
00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:03.920
I go up with I'm an old man.
80
00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:05.759
It's the slash, said, he's killing her.
81
00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:14.519
Hello, this copy of quinn Head Corners.
82
00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:16.160
Here's the chance you've been waiting for.
83
00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:18.279
The slash is at twelve Dock Street.
84
00:05:18.120 --> 00:05:19.120
Right around the corner from him.
85
00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:20.160
On my way, captain.
86
00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:31.199
And that's how it started. The detective is asked to
87
00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:34.560
do some queer things in the line of duty. I
88
00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:36.399
didn't mind moving down to the dump.
89
00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:39.120
At the waterfront with my wife if it would help
90
00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:40.160
catch the slasher.
91
00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:42.959
So when I got the call, I rushed out of
92
00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:44.759
my joint and beat it down on twelve Dock Street.
93
00:05:45.279 --> 00:05:48.120
Oh where is he way to go?
94
00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:58.639
Hey, hey, listen, I.
95
00:05:56.120 --> 00:05:56.759
Don't do that.
96
00:05:56.800 --> 00:05:57.480
I'll get your doc.
97
00:05:57.560 --> 00:05:59.120
Die yet and listen to me.
98
00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:02.160
Sister, it was Are they going to sit an ambulance?
99
00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:04.920
Yeah? Yeah, but I won't do it.
100
00:06:04.920 --> 00:06:06.519
No good, you were two lace.
101
00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:10.199
Just see the guy who did it.
102
00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:11.959
I saw nobody.
103
00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:14.319
He can't be fine. He was here a minute ago.
104
00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:18.959
I heard someone go out the back way. When listen,
105
00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:23.199
coming from that alley down there.
106
00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:27.000
I'm so thick you can't see two feet out of
107
00:06:27.319 --> 00:06:28.879
the back wave goes into the audi.
108
00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:32.360
And it's him. It's the slasher.
109
00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:41.720
I got out of the alle the radio cars and
110
00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:44.319
that meant from the precinct were coming. We went through
111
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:48.480
that neighborhood with a sieve, but we couldn't.
112
00:06:48.120 --> 00:06:50.839
Find the guy who whistled that queer tune.
113
00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:03.879
Get you, Danny, Yeah.
114
00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:04.480
What happened?
115
00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:06.480
You shouldn't have got out of bed, baby. I was
116
00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:08.759
worried he got away.
117
00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:11.000
He killing us?
118
00:07:11.079 --> 00:07:11.279
Yeah?
119
00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:14.279
Yeah, another day it wasn't so foggy. I could have
120
00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:15.600
seen him. That's how close it was.
121
00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:17.879
No does speak of.
122
00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:20.240
Hey, Look, look baby, don't you worry about this. You
123
00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:21.959
go back and get some sleep.
124
00:07:22.079 --> 00:07:25.720
I'm frighten. That man is somewhere in this neighborhood and
125
00:07:25.839 --> 00:07:26.600
I was living here.
126
00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:28.000
I shouldn't have brought you down here.
127
00:07:28.879 --> 00:07:30.720
You're going back to our old place tomorrow.
128
00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:31.079
No, I'm not.
129
00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:33.439
I don't want you here alone. I want to.
130
00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:35.439
Listen.
131
00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:42.199
You hear that, don't you? That ain't something I'm hearing
132
00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:42.600
in my head?
133
00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:44.519
Is are you answer me? Answered me? I want to

00:07:44.519 --> 00:07:46.439
make sure I ain't hear I hear it.
135
00:07:46.439 --> 00:07:48.360
It's someone whistling, But why are you acting like this?
136
00:07:49.439 --> 00:07:55.879
He the Slasher whistles that tune. Are you sure? Yeah?
137
00:07:55.959 --> 00:07:57.439
Yeah, I heard him tonight.
138
00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:02.720
And the killer, the slasher must be somewhere around here.
139
00:08:06.079 --> 00:08:14.439
I'm going out, baby, locked the doors.
140
00:08:15.439 --> 00:08:17.399
The whistling was somewhere in the building.
141
00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:18.839
I listened.
142
00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:24.480
Where was it coming from?
143
00:08:25.639 --> 00:08:30.839
It was gone. I looked at my watch. Four thirty
144
00:08:30.879 --> 00:08:31.399
in the morning.
145
00:08:32.519 --> 00:08:34.639
I walked down the stairs, listening to the whistle. I
146
00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:38.679
walked down my toes, listened to the other flats.
147
00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:42.879
I didn't hear a thing. I went down into the cellar.
148
00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:49.559
There was someone there, all right, Oh who was there?
149
00:08:49.679 --> 00:08:52.000
It was Sykes of Janitor. I came closer.
150
00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:55.559
Oh, it's see you, mister Miller.

You frightened me. Why I thought you were the slasher? Yeah,
154
00:09:08.720 --> 00:09:12.159

155
00:09:12.159 --> 00:09:16.120
these shadows, might be anywhere.
156
00:09:17.399 --> 00:09:18.639

No, I didn't see anyone who is in the flat
163
00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:41.360
below us. Mister Pavilion, Reginald Pavilion, funny name. He's a

whistling to himself, whistling to himself. Yeah, he writes music

00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:34.639
Yes, what is it? Mister Miller?
179
00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:37.360
My wife and I live upstairs. I know it's kind
180
00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:40.120
of late, but can I come in here for a minute?
181
00:10:40.639 --> 00:10:43.639
Of course, I hope I'm not disturbing you. Oh, it's
182
00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:47.200
quite all right. You're the people who moved in a
183
00:10:47.320 --> 00:10:48.000
few days ago.
184
00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:48.759
That's right.
185
00:10:49.919 --> 00:10:50.480
I don't know you.
186
00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:56.480
My name is Reginald Trevilian, Dan Miller's mine. You've been
187
00:10:56.600 --> 00:10:57.120
up all night?
188
00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:00.320
Yes, why do you ask?
189
00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:02.440
Because maybe you can help me.
190
00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:05.320
Someone tried to break into our place at about four point.
191
00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:05.960
Thirty this morning.
192
00:11:06.720 --> 00:11:11.120
Really, mister Miller, do you think your wife would be
193
00:11:11.200 --> 00:11:12.919
very annoyed if I play the piano?
194
00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:13.200
Now?
195
00:11:14.919 --> 00:11:19.919
No, No, I don't think so. She she likes music.
196
00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:27.759
She seemed like a charming girl. I noticed her when
197
00:11:27.799 --> 00:11:32.759
you first moved in. I'm very lucky to have such
198
00:11:32.759 --> 00:11:41.519
an attractive wife.
199
00:11:44.720 --> 00:11:50.840
You're worstling yourself like that very often, Yes, especially when
200
00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:52.279
I'm working on a new composition.
201
00:11:56.600 --> 00:11:57.279
I think I have it.
202
00:12:00.000 --> 00:12:02.879
I've been trying to work out that passage all night, which, Miller,
203
00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:04.200
Please God.
204
00:12:04.279 --> 00:12:05.000
I want to be alone.
205
00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:07.679
You are your opinion?
206
00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:10.320
What are you waiting for me?
207
00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:13.879
You're crying?
208
00:12:15.639 --> 00:12:16.279
I've lost it?
209
00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:16.720
What?
210
00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:17.039
What?
211
00:12:17.039 --> 00:12:17.759
What passage?
212
00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:19.000
You see? What you've done?
213
00:12:19.480 --> 00:12:20.480
Wait a minute ago?
214
00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:22.200
Now it's gone, gone?
215
00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:24.879
Ok?
216
00:12:27.039 --> 00:12:32.399
It does been lately like keep forgetting things.
217
00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:39.360
I'm sorry, I was shrewde.
218
00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:48.080
I didn't mean today, just the midlelight, mister Milla, This
219
00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:49.919
is really true what it says in the papers about
220
00:12:49.919 --> 00:12:53.879
the slasher, that he has the whole neighborhood trembling in terror.
221
00:12:54.519 --> 00:12:59.039
Yes, lovely trembling for their miserable little.
222
00:12:58.840 --> 00:13:03.799
Lives, worried about that dirty little souls. Sure you fear
223
00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:05.399
and I wrote your little raffles.
224
00:13:06.879 --> 00:13:08.440
I knew who the slash was.
225
00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:13.519
I embrace him and give him everythny of head Why
226
00:13:14.279 --> 00:13:16.039
because I hate them?
227
00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:17.399
Because been laugh at.
228
00:13:17.240 --> 00:13:19.759
Me, because.
229
00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:34.440
My phone headquarters told him to check on Travallion. Oh
230
00:13:34.480 --> 00:13:36.679
he was a queer one, all right, so queer.
231
00:13:36.720 --> 00:13:38.879
I didn't tell Laura about him. I didn't want to
232
00:13:38.919 --> 00:13:42.200
scare her. I couldn't arrest him. I didn't have anything
233
00:13:42.240 --> 00:13:53.960
on him yet. I laid down arrest Maybe I heard
234
00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:56.759
it in my dream, maybe not.
235
00:13:58.440 --> 00:14:00.200
I heard that whistling again.
236
00:14:01.240 --> 00:14:05.320
That same tomb. I think that's what whop me.
237
00:14:06.519 --> 00:14:07.639
I looked around.
238
00:14:09.240 --> 00:14:19.840
Laura. She was gone and the door was opening. I
239
00:14:19.919 --> 00:14:22.919
rushed off. The hole was filled with thick fog. In
240
00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:25.360
the yellow light, I saw a crumpled heap on the floor.
241
00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:37.720
I recognized Laura's basel Ah the slasher. That's my boy.
242
00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:40.639
He's not the type of low character goes around murdering
243
00:14:40.639 --> 00:14:42.039
his friends and relatives.
244
00:14:42.080 --> 00:14:45.360
Now he's so big, hard that he murders anyone, even
245
00:14:45.360 --> 00:14:47.639
people who's never introduced to. He's not a.
246
00:14:47.639 --> 00:14:51.519
Snob, No, he's much worse than a snob. He's a lunaty.
247
00:14:51.759 --> 00:14:54.799
Oh Mary, you're so unsympathetic.
248
00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:56.000
He's just lonely.
249
00:14:56.120 --> 00:14:59.519
He wants to get close to people with a knife.
250
00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:02.360
Well, if he's so lonely, then why does he go
251
00:15:02.440 --> 00:15:06.840
around cutting people? You see, mister Raymond, I can say
252
00:15:06.879 --> 00:15:09.840
the same kind of things you do, don't you dare?
253
00:15:10.200 --> 00:15:13.240
Just be your sweet practical self or out.
254
00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:17.120
You can't frighten me, mister Raymond. But as a matter
255
00:15:17.120 --> 00:15:20.279
of fact, I do have something practical to say. I'm
256
00:15:20.320 --> 00:15:22.559
going to suggest that all the folks who drink Lipton
257
00:15:22.679 --> 00:15:26.679
Tea should buy the larger, more economical size packages, not
258
00:15:26.720 --> 00:15:30.080
only because they're thriftier, but for another reason. You see,
259
00:15:30.200 --> 00:15:32.600
if you have a large package of Lipton's at home,
260
00:15:32.840 --> 00:15:34.639
then you're not likely to run out just when you
261
00:15:34.720 --> 00:15:37.080
need it, for instance, when folks happen to drop in
262
00:15:37.200 --> 00:15:41.320
unexpectedly some evening. And of course, Lypton's is a grand
263
00:15:41.399 --> 00:15:44.120
drink to serve your guests. It goes so well with
264
00:15:44.240 --> 00:15:48.600
cake or sandwiches. It just seems to make everything taste better.
265
00:15:49.279 --> 00:15:51.679
So folks, be sure to have a good supply of
266
00:15:51.720 --> 00:15:53.679
that brisk Lipton tea on hand.
267
00:15:53.720 --> 00:15:55.960
Now do that, and while you're at it, be sure
268
00:15:55.960 --> 00:15:58.600
to have an extra hand on hand because the Slasher
269
00:15:58.679 --> 00:16:01.360
may want to collect one and silver in.
270
00:16:01.320 --> 00:16:05.519
The air well. We've kept the blood.
271
00:16:05.240 --> 00:16:06.639
From flowing long enough.
272
00:16:06.720 --> 00:16:07.240
On where the.
273
00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:09.919
Murders listen as we hear.
274
00:16:10.039 --> 00:16:14.159
Arnold Moss as Dan Miller finished, that's time.
275
00:16:15.720 --> 00:16:18.879
Laura was alive and a dead faint.
276
00:16:20.000 --> 00:16:22.159
I scooped her up in my arms and rushed her
277
00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:26.200
back to our flat. She opened her eyes a few
278
00:16:26.279 --> 00:16:29.600
minutes later, Dan, you're okay, baby.
279
00:16:30.639 --> 00:16:31.759
Who's going to kill me?
280
00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:32.440
Yeah?
281
00:16:32.639 --> 00:16:33.279
Take some of this?
282
00:16:35.000 --> 00:16:37.639
Thanks, Oh Danny, it was awful.
283
00:16:38.320 --> 00:16:40.200
What happened was you were asleep.
284
00:16:40.279 --> 00:16:43.320
I went out to get the milk and I heard
285
00:16:43.320 --> 00:16:44.039
someone whistling.
286
00:16:44.559 --> 00:16:46.759
Do you remember what that same queer.
287
00:16:46.559 --> 00:16:49.720
Melody we heard before, the one that Slasher whistled. So
288
00:16:49.759 --> 00:16:52.080
I thought i'd help you help me. I thought i'd
289
00:16:52.120 --> 00:16:54.960
see him. I walked quietly down the hall. There was
290
00:16:55.120 --> 00:16:58.200
no one there, and I turned the corner. Yeah, I
291
00:16:58.240 --> 00:17:01.080
saw the knife gleam. Someone was hiding in the shadows.
292
00:17:01.120 --> 00:17:03.879
He grabbed my neck and I screamed. I screamed down here,
293
00:17:03.879 --> 00:17:06.480
I screamed, so I thought I'd burst my throat and then.
294
00:17:06.400 --> 00:17:07.240
It all went flat.
295
00:17:07.400 --> 00:17:09.880
To see him, but I felt his hands on my throat.
296
00:17:10.559 --> 00:17:12.680
He was strong hands, I think as i'd see it
297
00:17:12.759 --> 00:17:16.240
when I danil.
298
00:17:16.640 --> 00:17:18.599
Sorry, I can't even.
299
00:17:18.440 --> 00:17:19.119
Talk about it.
300
00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:21.880
Lie down, Lie down, You'll be.
301
00:17:21.799 --> 00:17:24.480
All right when you think that he's right here, maybe
302
00:17:24.599 --> 00:17:25.519
living in this building.
303
00:17:25.799 --> 00:17:26.680
He won't be here long.
304
00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:28.200
I'm calling headquarters.
305
00:17:28.240 --> 00:17:28.920
You know who he is.
306
00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:30.480
I got a good idea and now just let me
307
00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:31.279
get on that phone.
308
00:17:31.279 --> 00:17:43.319
And who's there. It's just a janitor, baby.
309
00:17:42.960 --> 00:17:45.640
But he won he went out.
310
00:17:45.799 --> 00:17:49.640
Yeah, okay, Laurie, get dressed. I want to get you
311
00:17:49.640 --> 00:17:51.200
out of here before the trouble starts. I'll be going
312
00:17:51.240 --> 00:17:55.200
for a few minutes with mister Sikes. You got a key, Sikes.
313
00:17:55.279 --> 00:17:57.160
Yeah, but I'll have to go along with you. You
314
00:17:57.599 --> 00:18:00.720
can't take anything, you know, as this badge means you
315
00:18:00.880 --> 00:18:01.799
are detective.
316
00:18:01.960 --> 00:18:03.200
Yeah, yeah, now let's go.
317
00:18:04.039 --> 00:18:05.079
What are you doing here?
318
00:18:05.759 --> 00:18:06.599
Looking for the slash?
319
00:18:06.759 --> 00:18:10.640
All write your book about it? Pal, Here's is Joyce.
320
00:18:12.000 --> 00:18:14.720
Open the door, all right, but you'll have to hurry.
321
00:18:14.799 --> 00:18:16.079
He may come back any minute.
322
00:18:16.079 --> 00:18:17.359
All I want is enough evidence.
323
00:18:17.400 --> 00:18:18.880
I'll take care of him when we get it.
324
00:18:21.160 --> 00:18:21.960
The door's open.
325
00:18:24.960 --> 00:18:27.680
It was eight in the morning, but it could have
326
00:18:27.680 --> 00:18:28.279
been eight at night.
327
00:18:28.319 --> 00:18:32.039
The fog was so thick. I knew this was it.
328
00:18:32.880 --> 00:18:34.279
I couldn't take any chances.
329
00:18:34.680 --> 00:18:36.480
I had to get all the evidence on it before.
330
00:18:36.279 --> 00:18:38.519
I nabbed him, and.
331
00:18:38.559 --> 00:18:41.000
I had to get it.
332
00:18:40.200 --> 00:18:43.079
Without him being wise. What are you looking for?
333
00:18:43.599 --> 00:18:47.039
Knives? We know he's got at least three. I don't
334
00:18:47.079 --> 00:18:49.279
see none, neither do I Maybe it's a bomb steer.
335
00:18:49.480 --> 00:18:50.440
I could be wrong.
336
00:18:52.240 --> 00:18:57.880
Hey, what's this music he's always writing? He used to
337
00:18:57.920 --> 00:18:59.640
be a choir boy once. He taught me how to
338
00:18:59.720 --> 00:19:03.000
read the notes. I wonder if I still can. Why
339
00:19:04.240 --> 00:19:06.240
because I think this may be a tune I'm looking for.
340
00:19:07.160 --> 00:19:15.599
Let me see.
341
00:19:15.240 --> 00:19:16.519
That that song?
342
00:19:17.359 --> 00:19:18.319
Did you ever hear it before?
343
00:19:18.559 --> 00:19:19.359
Yeah?
344
00:19:19.720 --> 00:19:20.480
I bet you did.
345
00:19:21.079 --> 00:19:24.039
He's always whistling it. I heard of myself when he
346
00:19:24.119 --> 00:19:26.960
killed the last one. You gotta find those knives.
347
00:19:27.000 --> 00:19:27.680
Just try to hurry.
348
00:19:27.720 --> 00:19:29.519
I think he just went out to get some breakfast.
349
00:19:30.200 --> 00:19:33.240
I looked everywhere, couldn't find the knives. I couldn't bring
350
00:19:33.240 --> 00:19:35.799
a guy in just because I heard a song. I
351
00:19:35.880 --> 00:19:39.079
found a bunch of keys. They were trunk keys, but
352
00:19:39.160 --> 00:19:39.960
there was no trunk.
353
00:19:39.960 --> 00:19:40.960
I think I hear him coming.
354
00:19:41.079 --> 00:19:42.559
Never mind what you think. Where does he keep his
355
00:19:42.599 --> 00:19:45.160
trunk in the storeroom in the cellar. He's always going
356
00:19:45.200 --> 00:19:45.960
down there for things.
357
00:19:46.039 --> 00:19:46.640
Full of horror.
358
00:19:47.599 --> 00:19:49.519
That's him.
359
00:19:49.599 --> 00:19:54.000
Yeah, I met was run behind this upright piano for
360
00:19:54.000 --> 00:19:54.440
both of us.
361
00:19:54.480 --> 00:19:55.960
But if he's the shut up, shut.
362
00:19:55.880 --> 00:20:06.039
Up, hurry. I sat down at the piano.
363
00:20:05.720 --> 00:20:09.319
And played a queer arrangement of the same tune that
364
00:20:09.400 --> 00:20:12.359
led me to him. I reached for my gun just
365
00:20:12.359 --> 00:20:19.440
in case. Suddenly the sweat ooze on of me. It
366
00:20:19.640 --> 00:20:25.759
was sweating, it felt like ice. I didn't have my gun.
367
00:20:26.599 --> 00:20:28.319
I remember, I took it off when I laid down
368
00:20:28.319 --> 00:20:34.400
the rest. So wrong, all wrong, Oh, I canna.
369
00:20:34.240 --> 00:20:34.960
Get it wrong.
370
00:20:38.759 --> 00:20:39.559
It's going out again.
371
00:20:39.599 --> 00:20:41.799
Come on, sis, I told you to hurry before I
372
00:20:41.880 --> 00:20:43.400
hear him going down those stairs.
373
00:20:43.440 --> 00:20:44.400
It's safe to go now.
374
00:20:44.880 --> 00:20:46.799
All right, sykes, we're going to open that trunk and
375
00:20:46.839 --> 00:20:47.279
the stone.
376
00:20:53.119 --> 00:20:58.400
Here's this trunk, mister Miller, this key should open it.
377
00:21:01.319 --> 00:21:05.640
They the knives, Yeah, the knives.
378
00:21:06.599 --> 00:21:11.799
Look at them, Look at them? Covered with blood. Sikes.
379
00:21:12.519 --> 00:21:14.559
Go to the police precinct. Tell him Millisent. You tell
380
00:21:14.599 --> 00:21:15.960
him to come over here with as many men as.
381
00:21:15.880 --> 00:21:16.359
I can spare.
382
00:21:16.480 --> 00:21:17.559
All right, all right.
383
00:21:18.119 --> 00:21:20.200
I took the knives and put them under my coat,
384
00:21:21.480 --> 00:21:23.720
went up to my room.
385
00:21:28.480 --> 00:21:29.880
Yes, yes, I'm leaving.
386
00:21:30.279 --> 00:21:30.759
I'll be home.
387
00:21:30.920 --> 00:21:32.799
I can hear Laura talking on the phone or someone.
388
00:21:33.440 --> 00:21:35.119
I opened the door, of course.
389
00:21:35.759 --> 00:21:36.799
Oh I better hang out now.
390
00:21:36.880 --> 00:21:37.599
Danny just came in.
391
00:21:37.640 --> 00:21:38.319
Goodbye, Doddie.
392
00:21:39.759 --> 00:21:40.839
Are you talking to mother?
393
00:21:40.960 --> 00:21:42.480
I'm how ready you a minute?
394
00:21:42.799 --> 00:21:46.319
There's no rush.
395
00:21:47.039 --> 00:21:49.000
The piano sounds like.
396
00:21:51.920 --> 00:21:55.039
My gun. Baby, we're gone.
397
00:21:56.519 --> 00:21:59.960
That man saying the piano. Are you sure he's the same?
398
00:22:00.440 --> 00:22:05.680
Yeah? Positive, Danny an Sorry, I'm nervous.
399
00:22:06.599 --> 00:22:07.279
That's this place.
400
00:22:07.519 --> 00:22:12.400
Come on in with me, Come in with Yeh's.
401
00:22:11.519 --> 00:22:12.440
Figure out a way to trap.
402
00:22:13.240 --> 00:22:16.319
Don't be scared, baby, you'll be okay.
403
00:22:17.920 --> 00:22:21.559
Oh oh yeah, yeah, mister trueball.
404
00:22:21.640 --> 00:22:24.519
And I like to make my wife.
405
00:22:25.759 --> 00:22:29.839
I'm de landed. How do you do it? Would you
406
00:22:29.880 --> 00:22:33.119
like to hear something? It's a composition I've just completed.
407
00:22:33.720 --> 00:22:35.920
I've had a great deal of trouble with it, but
408
00:22:36.000 --> 00:22:44.759
I think I've got it right now?
409
00:22:45.599 --> 00:22:48.359
What are you?
410
00:22:48.359 --> 00:22:48.960
You got it?
411
00:22:49.039 --> 00:22:54.759
Come into your slasher, stupid swir idiot?
412
00:22:56.119 --> 00:22:59.680
Why did you commit serve my music?
413
00:23:00.599 --> 00:23:00.960
Buddy?
414
00:23:10.319 --> 00:23:12.799
Senny your murder?
415
00:23:13.640 --> 00:23:14.200
Yeah?
416
00:23:14.559 --> 00:23:15.640
Why you'll find out.
417
00:23:17.559 --> 00:23:19.319
What are you going to do with that knife?
418
00:23:19.559 --> 00:23:20.640
It's one of his knives?
419
00:23:21.759 --> 00:23:22.519
Stand still?
420
00:23:22.599 --> 00:23:26.400
Laura can in a minute coming to you too.
421
00:23:27.119 --> 00:23:28.799
I know who you were talking about. That phone.
422
00:23:28.839 --> 00:23:30.880
It wasn't your old lady. I was carry boy that
423
00:23:30.880 --> 00:23:31.960
guy who lives next door.
424
00:23:32.039 --> 00:23:32.880
Wasn't it answer to me?
425
00:23:33.160 --> 00:23:33.480
Wasn't it?
426
00:23:35.440 --> 00:23:37.799
So this is why you made me come down here
427
00:23:37.839 --> 00:23:38.880
with you.
428
00:23:38.880 --> 00:23:40.039
You planned this hold along.
429
00:23:40.319 --> 00:23:43.359
That's right, baby, and that's why I had you ensured
430
00:23:43.400 --> 00:23:47.119
for forty grand. You made one bad mistake. You married
431
00:23:47.160 --> 00:23:48.319
a smart cookie.
432
00:23:48.440 --> 00:23:50.480
You're going to kill me and blame it on a flash.
433
00:23:51.079 --> 00:23:59.480
No angle me.
434
00:24:06.400 --> 00:24:10.160
When it was over, I wiped the knife clean.
435
00:24:09.880 --> 00:24:14.359
Of fingerprints, and then I smeared Trevellion's.
436
00:24:13.720 --> 00:24:18.279
Hand over the handle. I knew what to do. Made
437
00:24:18.319 --> 00:24:20.160
it look good, made it look perfect.
438
00:24:20.920 --> 00:24:23.799
There's a way to get away with murder, and I
439
00:24:23.960 --> 00:24:24.559
found it.
440
00:24:26.079 --> 00:24:27.240
I thought.
441
00:24:33.839 --> 00:24:37.880
One with a report on or Captain Quinney. After I
442
00:24:37.920 --> 00:24:40.279
sent Sykes to the priestinct, guy went upstairs with my gun.
443
00:24:41.119 --> 00:24:44.000
My wife wasn't there and got the gun and I
444
00:24:44.039 --> 00:24:46.440
heard a scream. I rushed to his place, open the door.
445
00:24:46.480 --> 00:24:52.200
I saw Laura the second I thought i'd pass out. Yeah,
446
00:24:52.359 --> 00:24:54.920
he grabbed a knife, come at me, and I shot
447
00:24:55.000 --> 00:24:56.960
him and killed him.
448
00:24:57.160 --> 00:25:08.440
Oh, Laura, she was insured for forty n dollars. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
449
00:25:05.400 --> 00:25:07.400
Well what differences that make now?
450
00:25:08.319 --> 00:25:10.880
A lot of difference, Mellow. I want you to meet
451
00:25:10.880 --> 00:25:13.279
someone the man's acts.
452
00:25:13.599 --> 00:25:17.119
Yes, Captain, did you here to take the Miller's report clearly?
453
00:25:17.599 --> 00:25:17.799
Yes?
454
00:25:18.799 --> 00:25:19.720
Was he telling the truth?
455
00:25:19.960 --> 00:25:20.000
No?
456
00:25:20.960 --> 00:25:22.839
He lied? What are you talking about.
457
00:25:23.319 --> 00:25:25.240
I didn't go to the police when you told me.
458
00:25:26.039 --> 00:25:29.279
I hid in the seller. I saw you go upstairs.
459
00:25:30.160 --> 00:25:32.599
I saw you get your wife and go to Drevillion's place.
460
00:25:33.720 --> 00:25:36.920
I listened at the door. I heard you shoot Dravillion
461
00:25:36.960 --> 00:25:38.000
and then murder your wife.
462
00:25:38.480 --> 00:25:40.480
Captain. The man's insane, yes.
463
00:25:40.400 --> 00:25:45.799
Miller, A homicidal maniac. I'll take away his coat. You
464
00:25:45.920 --> 00:25:47.839
see he's handcuffed.
465
00:25:49.400 --> 00:25:54.759
I don't get it. He's the slashing he It's impossible.
466
00:25:54.839 --> 00:25:57.599
I told you about that melody. Way it's still on
467
00:25:57.680 --> 00:26:00.000
Trevillions coming down that melody.
468
00:26:00.039 --> 00:26:01.480
Yeah, we heard Sikes whistle it.
469
00:26:01.799 --> 00:26:02.440
Yeah.
470
00:26:02.680 --> 00:26:04.240
I whistled the whole thing for him.
471
00:26:04.279 --> 00:26:06.720
But the knives I found in Trevillion's trunk, I.
472
00:26:06.799 --> 00:26:07.480
Put them there.
473
00:26:08.480 --> 00:26:09.640
I knew who you were.
474
00:26:09.799 --> 00:26:13.440
Sikes was trying to frame Pavilion. He's made a complete confession, Miller.
475
00:26:13.920 --> 00:26:16.079
But did you find out when you asked us.
476
00:26:16.039 --> 00:26:17.000
To check on Trevillion?
477
00:26:17.920 --> 00:26:20.480
We discovered that he's quite a famous EF eccentric composer.
478
00:26:21.519 --> 00:26:22.960
I checked up on the other people in the building
479
00:26:22.960 --> 00:26:25.720
at the same time. I found out that Sykes escaped
480
00:26:25.720 --> 00:26:28.200
from the State Institute for the Insane two years ago.
481
00:26:29.279 --> 00:26:35.079
He's confessed, Yeah, I'm the slasher. Why should Trevillion become
482
00:26:35.119 --> 00:26:37.960
famous for what I'd done? You had a perfect crime
483
00:26:38.000 --> 00:26:41.400
all figured out, Miller, but you made one little mistake.
484
00:26:42.599 --> 00:26:44.720
You decided the wrong person was the slasher.
485
00:26:46.279 --> 00:26:51.599
Even a copper can pull a perfect one, Miller.
486
00:26:55.680 --> 00:27:02.559
So I'm telling you all this because able tell nobody anything.
487
00:27:04.039 --> 00:27:06.079
Ever since I made my report.
488
00:27:05.759 --> 00:27:06.119
I've been.
489
00:27:07.680 --> 00:27:11.799
Hearing that song in my head, like like somebody whistling it.
490
00:27:13.920 --> 00:27:16.400
So I won't hear that either.
491
00:27:19.799 --> 00:27:23.680
It's a nice tune, kind of sad.
492
00:27:33.839 --> 00:27:39.920
A moral for tonight's story is never quarrel with your
493
00:27:40.000 --> 00:27:45.839
wife avoids strife. If that doesn't work, get a carving
494
00:27:46.359 --> 00:27:51.119
nice Now, there's a perfect formula for domestic bliss.
495
00:27:51.160 --> 00:27:51.799
Don't you think so?
496
00:27:51.920 --> 00:27:52.200
Merry?
497
00:27:52.359 --> 00:27:52.960
I do know.
498
00:27:53.279 --> 00:27:55.759
Then I'll give you another one. You love this one.
499
00:27:56.200 --> 00:27:59.559
Beat her till she's black and blue, break her arms
500
00:27:59.559 --> 00:28:00.160
and legs.
501
00:28:00.200 --> 00:28:04.200
In too, then tell her to brew a cup of
502
00:28:04.319 --> 00:28:04.720
lipt and.
503
00:28:04.799 --> 00:28:05.599
Tea for you.
504
00:28:10.960 --> 00:28:16.440
I tell you he's a real cut up, isn't he he? Oh,
505
00:28:16.480 --> 00:28:19.240
my dear, my dear, it's not often I get a
506
00:28:19.319 --> 00:28:22.440
laugh that big, oh, a hearty laugh is just where
507
00:28:22.440 --> 00:28:27.480
I needed on a cold, dark night like this. Although
508
00:28:27.519 --> 00:28:32.279
I suppose they're all dark, but some night scenes darker
509
00:28:32.319 --> 00:28:37.000
than others, don't you agree? Well, well, I guess it's
510
00:28:37.039 --> 00:28:40.200
about that time. The sun will be up soon and
511
00:28:41.400 --> 00:28:44.640
I need to get back to where I've come from,
512
00:28:44.960 --> 00:28:48.680
and you, my dear, you need to get back to51300:28:48.720 --> 00:28:53.759
your cozy comfeedback. Oh what's that? Oh no, no no,51400:28:54.119 --> 00:28:56.759
you'll make it back with plenty of time to get51500:28:56.759 --> 00:29:00.759
