1
00:00:08.960 --> 00:00:12.960
Well, hello, my dear,
so happy you could join me? Or

2
00:00:13.119 --> 00:00:17.920
was that? Oh? Well,
don't blame a man for being a little

3
00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:24.719
concerned. I suppose I simply figured
with the hustle and bustle of the holiday,

4
00:00:24.879 --> 00:00:32.000
perhaps you'd be too busy to stop
bombing. But I am happy to

5
00:00:32.039 --> 00:00:37.320
see this. What's that? Oh
no, no, no, there's no

6
00:00:37.399 --> 00:00:42.719
way to put lights up in here
anyhow. No, no, no holidays

7
00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:50.320
for people like you, not necessarily
people like me. But listen to me,

8
00:00:50.439 --> 00:00:53.960
go on and on and on.
I do go on and on,

9
00:00:54.039 --> 00:00:58.960
don't I. Well, I have
a story picked out that I think you'll

10
00:00:59.079 --> 00:01:03.120
enjoy. One that reference is the
way I think when you showed up here

11
00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:10.120
tonight, when you spun your radio
dial until you found me, when you

12
00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:14.519
walked into the room, the room, and sat down in my favorite chair.

13
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:19.640
This one is called speak speak of
the devil, the devil, And

14
00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:25.040
that's how it felt when you showed
up. So relax, I'll put on

15
00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:44.359
the team. Come in. Welcome, Welcome to mystery Theater. I'm hymen

16
00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:49.000
Brown. Welcome to the sounds of
suspense, to the fear you can hear.

17
00:01:51.239 --> 00:01:56.400
Make yourself comfortable, for there are
ill winds blowing outside. This is

18
00:01:56.439 --> 00:02:01.400
a tale of a Titanic struggle between
two color possible forces, one natural,

19
00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:07.879
the other supernatural. The prize a
girl's soul, and in the clash of

20
00:02:07.960 --> 00:02:14.400
fire and water there is a very
devil to pay. Come with me now

21
00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:19.919
to the far away first in Scotland, to meet the first of the forces.

22
00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:27.240
If the tide it comes in faster
than an express trade. Is it

23
00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:31.560
always like this twice a day?
Doesn't it ever break? It will when

24
00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:36.560
it gets just about a breast of
us? Isn't it excited? That's one

25
00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:39.400
word swort. That's why you don't
dare go out on the flats on foot.

26
00:02:39.759 --> 00:02:51.240
If the tide was due, you'd
never make it ashore. Our mystery

27
00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:55.759
drama Speak of the Devil, was
written especially for the Mystery Theater by Ian

28
00:02:55.879 --> 00:03:02.439
Martin and stars Jadda Rowland and Nick
Pryor. I'll be back shortly with Act

29
00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:20.479
one. They say, he who
dreams on the Solway will wake in another

30
00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:24.319
world. Not only is the tider
terror, but so are the quicksands,

31
00:03:24.879 --> 00:03:30.520
and far worse than either the bogies, the warlocks, the unnamed things that

32
00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:38.680
haunt Scottish history. The Scots word
for our story is eldrish. It means

33
00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:46.680
uncanny, eerie, frightful, other
worldly. If you'll put out the light,

34
00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:53.080
Missus Pettrey, hold my hand,
Mike, you'd better hold both mine.

35
00:03:53.800 --> 00:04:00.159
Why you can't trust me in the
dark? I'm sorry, right,

36
00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:05.000
Colonel Broce, Mike, Mary Ellen. I know you two young ones think

37
00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:10.800
of seances and might daft, but
it's not the way the Colonel, Missus

38
00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:14.919
Petrie and I feel well. Then
maybe we'd better not stay. No,

39
00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:19.319
we need five of the circle.
It's a blessing you're here, but please

40
00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:27.360
be serious. All of us have
made contact with your dearest ones who have

41
00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:33.079
passed on through my control. Control. That's a messenger who brings us messages.

42
00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:43.680
Anatou he once was a slave in
Babylon. Babylon. She's scary.

43
00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:51.279
Hang in, darling. Now may
we all join hands? Please, I'm

44
00:04:51.319 --> 00:04:59.759
asking you not to break the chain
of contact. Now clear your minds,

45
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:13.879
make them a blank, a quiet
place. I'm reaching now, reaching away

46
00:05:14.279 --> 00:05:24.800
and above and out and over from
here to the bonny bonny over place that

47
00:05:25.079 --> 00:05:33.879
lies beyond our kin. We're biding
here honor to ask, can you back

48
00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:46.279
into our circle? Will you not
come back to us again? From a

49
00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:57.079
horse centuries at times. Not why
high, I arn you? Just really

50
00:05:57.279 --> 00:06:16.639
ward right now? Where is it? Stop it? Stop it in Heaven's

51
00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:26.519
name, Someone get the light and
damn lies h Mary Ellen, Are you

52
00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:30.759
all right? Yes, sir,
that's all. That's small, that's just

53
00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:35.439
the incense we burn. I'm the
one to blame for meddling in the business

54
00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:41.399
of the Lord. We will not
ever have a seance in this house again.

55
00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:57.000
I'm afraid I loosed some devil out
of hell this night out. Don't

56
00:06:57.079 --> 00:07:00.560
regal so much. Stop the pinning
me, Jeannie. Oh I'm sorry,

57
00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:04.040
Ellen, Oh, but it'll take
more than a pin prick to burst your

58
00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:08.959
happiness. Thank you, Aunt Jeanie
for letting me come home to be married,

59
00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:13.480
and for such a heavenly day.
Oh well, I'll accept the thanks

60
00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:16.480
forbidding you back to where you grew
up. My dad died so suddenly I

61
00:07:17.519 --> 00:07:23.319
was lost. I didn't know what
to do. Well, you did just

62
00:07:23.399 --> 00:07:28.160
the right thing. You came home
your two modern young people who are a

63
00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:31.920
lot smarter than we old people are. It is proud I am to be

64
00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:36.480
part of the gamble you're making in
your lives. I am all goosebumps I'll

65
00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:43.079
get back into my jeans and sweater. I've got a skin just like I

66
00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:46.920
had last Wednesday night. Don't mention
it. I should never have had you

67
00:07:47.079 --> 00:07:54.720
children in that circle. It was
so scary what happened. I don't know.

68
00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:59.160
It was some kind of trick,
wasn't it. I don't play tricks

69
00:07:59.519 --> 00:08:01.959
with it. It was Maggie,
your mother, who had the second sight.

70
00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:07.360
You know that we was so there, I get him, so so

71
00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:15.360
vibrant. When she died, it
tore the heart out of me. But

72
00:08:15.639 --> 00:08:20.519
Will went off to America and left
me to bring you up. Well,

73
00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:26.720
it had put my heart back.
And then when you were fifteen and almost

74
00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:30.560
grown up and he wanted you to
join him, I I was left alone

75
00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:35.480
again. How could I stop you
going? I didn't want to go,

76
00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:39.879
I know, but you were his
flesh and blood. I found a way

77
00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:45.480
out of my loneliness. Nice.
When the roar of the tide used to

78
00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:50.559
come boiling up the firs outside the
windows there, I thought I could hear

79
00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:54.919
Maggie calling to me. But when
the wind was scurling out of the northeast,

80
00:08:54.639 --> 00:08:58.879
i'd hear her voice on the wings
of the blow, and I began

81
00:09:00.159 --> 00:09:05.279
to think maybe I had the call
too. That's when I started the seances

82
00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:11.840
until the other night. Yes,
I'll never hold a seance again. So

83
00:09:11.919 --> 00:09:18.080
the subject is closed. I realize
I'm just a foolish old woman. I've

84
00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:20.039
never been so scared. I'll promise
me to put it out of your mind.

85
00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:28.039
What's past is past. Your future
is all that matters. It seems

86
00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:33.440
so right to be back, as
if as if something were calling me.

87
00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:39.840
Oh you're cold, I'll stir up
the fire. No, no, don't

88
00:09:39.879 --> 00:09:43.879
bother. I just missed my American
central heating. I think I'll go outside

89
00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:46.919
in the sun for a minute or
two. Oh, go take a good

90
00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:50.840
brisk turn down the road. While
I finished this hymn. That's a good

91
00:09:50.919 --> 00:09:54.120
idea. But don't go down the
Firth road. Take the high road.

92
00:09:54.399 --> 00:10:00.960
Why well, I saw your Michael
off this morning for the solway. You

93
00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:05.440
don't want to run into the bridegroom
on the wedding day. It's bad Look

94
00:10:13.879 --> 00:10:18.159
kiss me, Ellen and Jennie thinks
it's bad luck for the bride and groom

95
00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:22.039
to see each other on the wedding
day. You can't fault that. Back

96
00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:26.200
in Nebraska, my mother used to
feel the same way. But that's just

97
00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:30.840
old fashioned. And Aunt Jeannie's something
else, Darling, your Aunt Jeanie,

98
00:10:30.919 --> 00:10:37.480
sure is something else good or bad? About ninety percent good. I just

99
00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:41.120
don't dig the spirit kick. We
won't have any more of that. It

100
00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:46.679
was awful, though, wasn't it. That's all kind of self hypnosis.

101
00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:52.320
That terrible, raspy voice, whatever
it was saying, Helen, there wasn't

102
00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:58.080
any voice. You didn't hear it. I heard something that sounded like your

103
00:10:58.120 --> 00:11:01.759
aunt choking herself to death. First
voice, that that's just the old girl

104
00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:09.320
practicing a little ventriloquism. No,
no, that awful burning smell. Well,

105
00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:13.559
I will admit I like the Harrah
Chrish new incense. Better, Come

106
00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:18.559
on, Ellen, let's forget all
that mumbo jumbo. Hey dig that crazy

107
00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:22.639
character out there fishing and those little
pools on the flats. What's crazy about

108
00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:28.320
that? Or on horseback? But
everyone does because of the tide. The

109
00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:33.600
tide I forgot. If we hadn't
been up in Glasgow wedding shopping, i'd

110
00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:37.399
have shown it to you. Look
out there to the west, that Gilly

111
00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:39.279
is up on his horse. It
must be Oh, yes, here it

112
00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:43.360
comes and there he goes. You
think the devil was on his tail.

113
00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:48.759
Let's his hurry. Look the tidal
boar, it's coming. You mean that

114
00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:52.120
big wave down at the mouth of
the estuary. Yes, it's the tide.

115
00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:58.240
It comes in faster than an express
train. Listen, Holy maloney,

116
00:12:00.000 --> 00:12:01.960
is it always like this? Twice
a day? Worse than the automan in

117
00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:05.879
the spring? Doesn't it ever break? It will all when it gets just

118
00:12:05.879 --> 00:12:09.919
about a breast of us? Isn't
it exciting? That's one word for it.

119
00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:13.919
That's why you don't dare go out
on the flats on flush. If

120
00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:16.200
the tide was due, you'd never
make it ashore. Oh, Michael,

121
00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:20.000
it's so thrilling. It's so good
to be alive. I love you.

122
00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:39.000
What'd you say? Why? Why, sire husband? Read that loud and

123
00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:43.639
clear? On my way? That's
taking you so long? Just brushing my

124
00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:46.759
teeth? Please come to bed.
Why didn't you say that in the first

125
00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:52.279
place? Will you come under the
covers? I'm freezing. I'll put some

126
00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:56.679
more coal in the fire. I
don't want coal. I want my brand

127
00:12:56.720 --> 00:13:01.559
new husband. You got him?
Oh, what is it, darling,

128
00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:09.240
Nothing, It's just just that funny
smell. It's the cold smoke. Remember

129
00:13:09.879 --> 00:13:16.480
you don't want coal to keep you
one just me, oh my darling,

130
00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:28.879
yes, yes, yes, my
husband, my darling, my husband.

131
00:13:30.399 --> 00:13:41.600
You no, no please, huh
no no, don't don't touch me,

132
00:13:41.960 --> 00:14:00.840
go away? No don't. Oh
no no no no like shut you out?

133
00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:11.039
Michael. Is there anything wrong?
No, Aunt Jennie. Why well,

134
00:14:11.919 --> 00:14:16.279
I was dozing and I thought I
heard. What's that I smell?

135
00:14:18.279 --> 00:14:22.159
Is it your candle? Oh?
I guess I let the fire go out.

136
00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:30.120
He's a dump chimney. But just
the same, is Mary eleanor right?

137
00:14:31.080 --> 00:14:35.279
She sound asleep? See for yourself. I'm sorry to bother you,

138
00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:39.559
but what is it? What's troubling
you? I don't know. I don't

139
00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:46.480
know. Maybe I was the one
that dreamed it. Hope be gentle with

140
00:14:46.519 --> 00:14:52.519
her, Michael. She's so sensitive
and delicate, like her mother that died

141
00:14:52.559 --> 00:14:56.480
all those years ago. We'll keep
her from any harm. Good night,

142
00:14:56.480 --> 00:15:05.360
Aunt Jennie, Good night Michael.
Did if we can, if it's in

143
00:15:05.519 --> 00:15:11.039
human hands to be able to of
my kindle out, if you will,

144
00:15:11.440 --> 00:15:20.120
Old Ricci, but hear me this, You'll not have Marianne. You'll not

145
00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:30.879
have her like my sister Maggie.
Old Ricci could be translated old smokey.

146
00:15:31.279 --> 00:15:35.039
It's another name for the devil.
Genie should know better than to mention him,

147
00:15:35.399 --> 00:15:41.559
for the old proverb says, speak
of the devil and his horns appear.

148
00:15:41.759 --> 00:16:00.240
Let's see when mystery theater returns shortly
with that too, dreams are made

149
00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:07.080
to die with the opening of day, and superstition fades and faulters in the

150
00:16:07.159 --> 00:16:11.519
sunlight. So by the following morning
we could hope our bride and bridegroom would

151
00:16:11.559 --> 00:16:17.399
wake and rise on the right side
of the bed. Let's find out as

152
00:16:17.480 --> 00:16:21.840
Michael comes downstairs. Oh, good
morning, Michael. I'm in the kitchen.

153
00:16:21.879 --> 00:16:25.720
Come on out. Good morning,
Aunt Jenny. Well, how is

154
00:16:25.759 --> 00:16:30.919
the bridegroom today? Well, the
bridegroom's first, right, it's the bride

155
00:16:30.919 --> 00:16:34.080
who's not. Oh, what's wrong
with the Wheelers? Oh? I don't

156
00:16:34.120 --> 00:16:41.559
know. I think now you were
right last night? Huh right about what?

157
00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:47.360
Oh? See, she had some
kind of a bad dream, but

158
00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:52.120
if she did, she won't tell
me about it. What do you think

159
00:16:52.159 --> 00:16:56.080
it might have been? Oh,
I don't know. She's a sensitive weaving

160
00:16:56.919 --> 00:17:00.960
and she's back in the path of
the house where her mother died. It

161
00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:06.160
was Maggie's room yet in maybe I
should never have put you there. Anyway,

162
00:17:06.319 --> 00:17:07.799
I'll get her tea and go on
up and have a wheat chat.

163
00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:23.720
And I couldn't tell Mike. I
couldn't not after what we my wedding night.

164
00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:33.839
How could I dream anything so so
vile and hideous, had great gross

165
00:17:33.039 --> 00:17:42.440
presence bearing down on me, breath
so sick, the lips slavering, and

166
00:17:42.599 --> 00:17:52.680
that awful fur fur all over,
and the fire burning me, that scorching

167
00:17:52.799 --> 00:18:00.240
smell. Oh, aunt, Jeanie
had a nightmare? Oh wish Now then

168
00:18:00.279 --> 00:18:04.400
that's all it was. But it
seems so real. Well it wasn't,

169
00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:10.319
because when I came by, you
were sleeping. Sound drink your tea.

170
00:18:10.359 --> 00:18:14.119
Now, it's a good thing you
have married that nice American boy with his

171
00:18:14.200 --> 00:18:19.200
head screwed good and tight, Mike. He'll blow all the cobwebs out of

172
00:18:19.240 --> 00:18:25.400
your head and he's going to have
a good chance to What do you mean?

173
00:18:26.119 --> 00:18:30.000
I mean, you too are going
to have a nice honeymoon all alone

174
00:18:30.119 --> 00:18:33.920
for a big long month. Where
are you going? Oh? I've got

175
00:18:33.960 --> 00:18:38.240
an old girls' school chum who lives
just outside Blackpool at Saint Annan Sea.

176
00:18:38.960 --> 00:18:42.519
For years she's wanted me to visit
I'm not going to drive you out of

177
00:18:42.559 --> 00:18:45.200
your house. Oh you're going to
do more than that, Mary Ellen.

178
00:18:45.960 --> 00:18:51.480
You and your handsome bunnie husband are
going to move downstairs to my room,

179
00:18:51.960 --> 00:18:55.839
away from this drafty old flu.
And while I'm gone, I'm going to

180
00:18:55.839 --> 00:18:59.920
get it fixed so the fire will
burned clean. And I'll not take no

181
00:19:00.480 --> 00:19:14.160
for a nonsense. I thought Scottish
weather was supposed to be terrible, rainy,

182
00:19:14.599 --> 00:19:19.640
damp, no sunshine. This has
been a very particular may Our honeymoon.

183
00:19:21.039 --> 00:19:27.680
Yes, sorry, it's over desolate
still with that Genie back, maybe

184
00:19:27.680 --> 00:19:30.920
you'll get a little more work done
on the book, Darling. I have

185
00:19:32.039 --> 00:19:37.119
been busy in research. It is
a love story. Speaking of that,

186
00:19:37.359 --> 00:19:41.400
do you think put down the road? I can't. Your front's in the

187
00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:45.400
way. That's doctor Ferguson bringing out
Genie back. Our month is up.

188
00:19:45.920 --> 00:19:51.160
Speaking of your front, do you
know how you've blossomed in the last four

189
00:19:51.200 --> 00:19:55.680
weeks? All right, playboy,
let's concentrate on other physical problems. How

190
00:19:55.680 --> 00:20:00.160
do we get out of the hammock
without breaking a limb? Welcome home,

191
00:20:00.200 --> 00:20:07.880
Aunt, Jeannie, ahy Ellen Fricius, you've turned into a real scott Slassie

192
00:20:07.119 --> 00:20:11.960
you've got the bloom on your cheeks. It's happiness and those warm spring winds

193
00:20:11.960 --> 00:20:15.359
from the west. Hello, doctor
Ferguson. Hey, well, missus Tilson.

194
00:20:15.599 --> 00:20:19.160
As a physician, I can only
concur with your aunt's diagnosis. You're

195
00:20:19.200 --> 00:20:23.599
a picture of health. And how
are you, mister Tilton? Never person?

196
00:20:23.759 --> 00:20:27.000
Oh I can believe that. Well, I really have to be back

197
00:20:27.039 --> 00:20:30.240
on rounds. Thank you for meeting
Aunt Janie at the station. It should

198
00:20:30.240 --> 00:20:34.960
have been me without a car.
You'd have had hard shrift getting me aboard

199
00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:38.519
all this since the carriage broke its
wheel. You know, Jennie, you

200
00:20:38.559 --> 00:20:42.880
should put that old horse out to
pasture now she's nothing left to pool.

201
00:20:44.039 --> 00:20:47.240
Oh I couldn't do that. We're
too used to each other. Poor Soon

202
00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:52.480
all right, doctor Ferguson, Away
you go, waityre see you soon.

203
00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:55.880
I'll take your bags up to the
house, an gie, Oh give me

204
00:20:55.920 --> 00:21:00.119
a hog first, that's right now. If you go, and me and

205
00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:03.119
Mary Yellen will have a week's chat
on the way up to the house.

206
00:21:04.519 --> 00:21:11.440
Goodbye, Percy. I should never
have said that he hates the name.

207
00:21:12.319 --> 00:21:17.240
I'm not sure I blame him.
Oh well, that's not what's on my

208
00:21:17.359 --> 00:21:22.079
mind. How are you, deary, you can see for yourself. Oh,

209
00:21:22.519 --> 00:21:26.039
don't say anything to Mike yet,
but I just have to tell someone,

210
00:21:26.759 --> 00:21:40.359
Aunt Jeannie, I think I know
I'm pregnant. Missus Tilson, tell

211
00:21:40.400 --> 00:21:42.480
me, Am I pregnant? Oh? The test will prove it, but

212
00:21:42.559 --> 00:21:48.079
I'll bet on it, and let
me say that you're the loveliest expected mother

213
00:21:48.200 --> 00:21:56.599
I've ever had under my can.
Well, a little morning sickness is to

214
00:21:56.640 --> 00:22:02.720
be expected in these early months.
Still, there's nothing wrong, doctor Ah,

215
00:22:02.799 --> 00:22:06.400
A young, healthy woman. What
could be wrong? Still we mistake

216
00:22:06.440 --> 00:22:08.599
precautions. I'm writing out some medication
for you that I want you to take

217
00:22:08.680 --> 00:22:18.480
each day. But what does doctor
Ferguson say is causing it? It's nothing,

218
00:22:18.559 --> 00:22:25.759
dear, just some little hitch Honey. We both had thorough physical checkups

219
00:22:25.799 --> 00:22:30.279
before we came to Scotland. The
rh factor is ruled out. Why should

220
00:22:30.319 --> 00:22:33.119
you? Lots of women have morning
sickness. It isn't only in the morning,

221
00:22:33.240 --> 00:22:40.240
Helen. I'll talk to doctor Ferguson. Maybe we should change the medication.

222
00:22:45.920 --> 00:22:49.880
Mary Ill. Indeed, I talked
to doctor Ferguson and he's completely puzzled.

223
00:22:52.240 --> 00:22:56.680
I'm not sure that I am though. Is there anything you want to

224
00:22:56.720 --> 00:23:00.960
tell me? What can I do? Tell you, Aunt Jeannie that I

225
00:23:02.000 --> 00:23:07.000
haven't told him? How do you? How are you in pain? I've

226
00:23:07.079 --> 00:23:15.839
talked to the doctor about that.
It it isn't pain. I don't know,

227
00:23:15.880 --> 00:23:22.559
Helen. How are you? How
are you dreaming again? Of what?

228
00:23:22.559 --> 00:23:30.160
Over the Pasance? I don't want
to talk anymore. I just want

229
00:23:30.200 --> 00:23:37.680
to sleep only. I don't want
to I don't want to sleep at all.

230
00:23:38.519 --> 00:23:49.640
It's just that I'm so tired,
so tired. You have to help

231
00:23:49.680 --> 00:23:55.480
me, Aunt Jeannie? How Michael
Doctor Ferguson says that that physically Melon should

232
00:23:55.480 --> 00:23:59.759
be all right. The baby seems
to be thriving. It's her mental state

233
00:23:59.799 --> 00:24:03.400
that do you know? She won't
go to sleep at nights, She forces

234
00:24:03.440 --> 00:24:08.039
herself to stay awake. What is
it she's afraid of dreaming about Aunt Jenny?

235
00:24:10.240 --> 00:24:12.640
It is that, isn't it.
I can't tell you just what she's

236
00:24:12.720 --> 00:24:18.599
deeming. I'm too far out of
touch since I went away. But I

237
00:24:18.680 --> 00:24:22.359
do know one thing. The only
way to stop it is to get her

238
00:24:22.400 --> 00:24:27.839
away from here. As easy as
that, Oh not so easy. Maybe

239
00:24:29.079 --> 00:24:32.599
she's bound in the terment on.
Haven't you finish your book first? Ah?

240
00:24:32.680 --> 00:24:41.279
The devil take the book, Melon
comes first. You sure you don't

241
00:24:41.319 --> 00:24:45.960
mind, Michael, I'm very sure. We're going home to have your baby

242
00:24:47.039 --> 00:24:52.960
three thousand miles away. Oh,
Darling, I don't know what to say.

243
00:24:53.039 --> 00:24:57.920
It can't be too soon for me. Well, it's sooner than you

244
00:24:59.039 --> 00:25:03.519
think. You're booked out of Glasgow
tomorrow afternoon, home for America. I

245
00:25:03.559 --> 00:25:07.599
don't know. I should be feeling
all sorts of things, I know,

246
00:25:07.680 --> 00:25:15.960
but the only one I can really
feel is relief. Oh, such blessed

247
00:25:15.039 --> 00:25:22.039
relief. Oh, for the first
time as long as I can remember,

248
00:25:22.200 --> 00:25:29.680
days weeks. I just want to
go to sleep. Good night, Darling,

249
00:25:30.519 --> 00:25:37.200
rest sweet dreams. You'll keep me
safe. You won't let me come

250
00:25:37.279 --> 00:25:45.039
to any harm, for better or
worse, in sickness and in health until

251
00:25:45.119 --> 00:25:56.319
death. Do us sleep, poor
baby rest. I love you, Michael,

252
00:25:57.400 --> 00:26:17.039
I love you. Keep our baby
safe. Oh okay, Ellen,

253
00:26:17.279 --> 00:26:21.279
Ellen, who is it? Oh? I don't I don't know. It's

254
00:26:21.559 --> 00:26:27.200
vain like a knife. I think
maybe maybe I'm gonna lose the baby.

255
00:26:27.519 --> 00:26:33.000
You're gonna be all right, on, don't worry. Get to Ferguson,

256
00:26:33.160 --> 00:26:37.240
gonna call him now. She'll be
all right. I'm fine, Just get

257
00:26:37.319 --> 00:26:41.720
it I'll send Aunt Genie up to
you while I phoned Jeanie han Geenie.

258
00:26:41.240 --> 00:26:45.720
What is it? What is it, Michael Helen? Maybe a miscarriage.

259
00:26:45.720 --> 00:26:48.039
What's doctor Ferguson's number? You know? Get him by the phone. He's

260
00:26:48.039 --> 00:26:52.039
out the world of the game.
Bo Hello, Laddie, Laddie, it's

261
00:26:52.079 --> 00:26:56.319
no use, it won't be fixed
before morning. Go to the neighbors.

262
00:26:56.359 --> 00:26:59.319
It's a parking line if one's out
at all? Out? Oh god,

263
00:26:59.599 --> 00:27:02.359
how far are the Doctor's a good
three mile? Who's got a car?

264
00:27:02.599 --> 00:27:06.880
Only Colonel Petrie and he's a way
up to Edinburgh for his regimental reunion.

265
00:27:06.920 --> 00:27:08.680
All right, then I'll go on
foot. Aunt Jennie go up and help

266
00:27:08.680 --> 00:27:11.200
her. I'll make it as fast
as I can buy the way. Michael,

267
00:27:12.079 --> 00:27:15.200
can you ride a horse? Yes? Good, can take old Bessie.

268
00:27:15.279 --> 00:27:18.720
There's a bridle and saddle by her
in the barn. She'll get you

269
00:27:18.759 --> 00:27:22.359
there faster. Take care of her, Aunt gen don't let anything happen to

270
00:27:22.400 --> 00:27:25.880
her. Right along the Firth road
till you come to town. He's the

271
00:27:25.960 --> 00:27:37.200
third house in on the right.
And take care of yourself. It's taking

272
00:27:37.279 --> 00:27:41.880
Michael so long, or just lie
still, don't bring back the pain.

273
00:27:44.079 --> 00:27:48.279
It's funny. I thought it was
going to tear me into and then within

274
00:27:48.319 --> 00:27:52.079
ten minutes after Michael left the house, it just stops suddenly, is it?

275
00:27:53.519 --> 00:27:57.559
What's that? There's a car that'll
be the doctor. I'll let him

276
00:27:57.559 --> 00:28:07.759
in. Bide quiet, Now,
come on in, doctor. What took

277
00:28:07.799 --> 00:28:11.519
you so long? Tried tophony in
the moment I found out and I got

278
00:28:11.559 --> 00:28:15.640
here a suit as Oh then you
know, of course, I know.

279
00:28:15.079 --> 00:28:18.680
What do you think's been taking care
of Mary? Ellen? Now you get

280
00:28:18.680 --> 00:28:26.680
on up to work with Michael,
Genie. Michael is dead dead. Oh,

281
00:28:27.039 --> 00:28:33.079
let me close the door. Was
was Michael writing to try to fetch

282
00:28:33.079 --> 00:28:38.400
me. Of course, she thought
she was losing the baby. What what

283
00:28:38.599 --> 00:28:41.839
happened to him? Best must have
thrown him. Oh, she never threw

284
00:28:41.839 --> 00:28:45.200
a body in her life. She
was jealous and must have frightened a driven

285
00:28:45.240 --> 00:28:49.559
or frantic Genie. This is a
terrible thing to tell you, But but

286
00:28:49.680 --> 00:28:56.680
I examined the boy and his body
was covered with hoofmarks. He was literally

287
00:28:56.839 --> 00:29:07.079
trampled to death. So Ellen has
kept her baby and lost her husband.

288
00:29:07.119 --> 00:29:14.240
Some evil foreshadows this innocent and tragic
girl, and still may threaten her.

289
00:29:14.960 --> 00:29:19.039
Those hoofmarks. Were they from the
horse, or in some dark, unfathomable

290
00:29:19.079 --> 00:29:26.440
way, were they supernatural, a
demon's footprint. Perhaps we'll know when Mystery

291
00:29:26.480 --> 00:29:44.839
Theater returns with Act three. For
two weeks, Ellen, after the first

292
00:29:44.960 --> 00:29:49.759
wild emotion when she heard of Mike's
death, has retreated into herself, her

293
00:29:49.759 --> 00:29:56.359
face white and drawn, her eyes
black and empty, like two holes burned

294
00:29:56.400 --> 00:30:00.559
in the blanket. Now, as
the doctor comes down after examining her,

295
00:30:00.799 --> 00:30:06.799
how is she today? Doctor?
No change, listless, unreachable, hopeless

296
00:30:06.880 --> 00:30:14.160
and health the baby, the baby, there's no doubts of its vitality.

297
00:30:14.279 --> 00:30:18.319
Oh, I have a terrible time
getting her to eat anything. He must

298
00:30:18.359 --> 00:30:21.559
be more successful than you think,
Genie, there's nothing the matter with mary

299
00:30:21.559 --> 00:30:26.440
Ellen physically. No, it's her
mental health that concerns me. The poor

300
00:30:26.440 --> 00:30:30.599
burden has been through a terrible shock. Person. I know you don't think

301
00:30:30.640 --> 00:30:36.319
there is any chance of her losing
her mind, Jeanne, mary Ellen is

302
00:30:36.359 --> 00:30:40.960
beyond me and my knowledge. Somehow
we've got to call in a psychiatrist,

303
00:30:41.319 --> 00:30:45.799
Percy, what is it you're afraid
of, Mary Ellen? Well, you

304
00:30:45.880 --> 00:30:52.039
don't like my medical terms. I
want to know very well. And schizophrenia

305
00:30:52.240 --> 00:30:56.680
more specifically, dementia, praecox,
paranoid type. I guess what does all

306
00:30:56.720 --> 00:31:02.079
that mean? Withdrawal from life,
delusions of all kinds, persecution, unseen

307
00:31:02.200 --> 00:31:08.519
enemies, that sort of thing,
the second sight, just just like all

308
00:31:08.559 --> 00:31:12.039
of us. Now, that's enough
of that nonsense. You're all sensitive,

309
00:31:12.160 --> 00:31:18.359
delicately balanced women, but all things
being equal, perfectly normal. Well,

310
00:31:18.759 --> 00:31:22.160
I have other calls to make.
Well, I'll walk you to the door.

311
00:31:22.680 --> 00:31:27.720
Any instructions for Mary Ellen? Just
did she keep on with the sedation

312
00:31:27.880 --> 00:31:33.960
I've provided? And Jeanie try to
persuade her to let me call in another

313
00:31:33.039 --> 00:31:41.279
doctor. I'll see what's best to
do. Be very careful, I'll do

314
00:31:41.519 --> 00:31:45.920
what's right. Yeah, I think
maybe tonight I'll take a run up to

315
00:31:45.920 --> 00:31:48.799
Glasgow and have a consultation with a
friend of mine, the doctor Angel good

316
00:31:48.880 --> 00:31:52.880
Man. Maybe I could persuade him
to run back down here with me,

317
00:31:53.160 --> 00:31:56.039
just to observe her. Oh,
by the well, till I see what

318
00:31:56.119 --> 00:32:00.440
I can do first? All right? Another day? Is so? Can't

319
00:32:00.440 --> 00:32:15.000
do any harm? I hope?
Who is it? It's aunt Jeanie may

320
00:32:15.039 --> 00:32:21.839
Ellen? May I come in if
you want? I thought you might like

321
00:32:21.920 --> 00:32:25.279
a we eat cup of tea?
No thanks, what are you staying at

322
00:32:27.119 --> 00:32:35.599
hot the window the soul way.
The tide just came in, roaring and

323
00:32:35.720 --> 00:32:43.400
boiling so fast, and now the
water's all smooth, and with the sun

324
00:32:43.480 --> 00:32:51.519
on it, everything's wiped clean.
I wonder if it heals as it washes

325
00:32:51.559 --> 00:32:57.319
over. What are you thinking about, child? I'm thinking about the first

326
00:32:57.319 --> 00:33:05.359
time I showed the tide to Michael, the day we were married, the

327
00:33:05.480 --> 00:33:07.599
day you said it was bad luck
for us to see each other before the

328
00:33:07.640 --> 00:33:14.000
wedding. Oh, I was just
choking about superstitions. Nobody believes those old

329
00:33:14.039 --> 00:33:19.799
wives tales. Nobody believes so many
things that are outside the ordinary, so

330
00:33:20.000 --> 00:33:25.319
many things they say don't exist but
might be. Did you see Michael's body

331
00:33:25.359 --> 00:33:31.039
after what did you see the marks
of the hoofs? Don't talk about that

332
00:33:31.119 --> 00:33:37.000
last I know? They said the
horse trembled him. I asked doctor Ferguson

333
00:33:37.039 --> 00:33:40.160
about the hoofs and he wouldn't tell
me. You'd tell me, wouldn't you?

334
00:33:40.240 --> 00:33:50.359
Genie? Tell you? What?
Were they like horseshoes or were they

335
00:33:50.440 --> 00:33:53.839
cleft in two? Were they clothing
hooves? In the name of God?

336
00:33:54.079 --> 00:33:59.200
What are you saying? I'm not
speaking of God. I'm speaking of the

337
00:33:59.279 --> 00:34:04.799
devil, some demonly haunts my dream. No, this is no times for

338
00:34:04.839 --> 00:34:08.000
foolish fancies. He mustn't let dreams
spill over into your real life. Or

339
00:34:08.079 --> 00:34:13.039
is it the other way around?
Dry Ellen, I don't know what did

340
00:34:13.079 --> 00:34:15.440
you say you have on your mind? But you can get me to Michael.

341
00:34:15.039 --> 00:34:19.679
Let me talk to Michael Hill.
Know he can tell me what to

342
00:34:19.760 --> 00:34:24.480
do. Take me to Michael and
Genie, take me to him. Oh

343
00:34:24.519 --> 00:34:30.199
oh can I'm Mary Ellen. You
know, I know he's dead. I

344
00:34:30.239 --> 00:34:35.920
know he's passed beyond. But you
can reach him, you can hold a

345
00:34:36.039 --> 00:34:38.760
say answer. Oh no, I
swore I never would again, after after

346
00:34:38.800 --> 00:34:44.480
what happened that night, when something
got loose, some evil presence, something

347
00:34:44.599 --> 00:34:52.519
from Auntie. You let him loose. The least you can do is help

348
00:34:52.599 --> 00:34:55.599
me undo the harm. I can't. I won't. I get the doctor

349
00:34:55.599 --> 00:35:00.639
you dared to bring him here,
and I'll kill myself. I swear change

350
00:35:00.679 --> 00:35:07.599
your out again. No, not
yet. But if you don't have that

351
00:35:07.719 --> 00:35:12.840
seance and let me find out from
Michael what to do, I will be

352
00:35:13.480 --> 00:35:19.119
I'll lose my mind. You've got
to promise, promise, come down,

353
00:35:19.239 --> 00:35:24.559
child, came down tonight. No, that is impossible. There have to

354
00:35:24.559 --> 00:35:29.280
be more than two deformactic and calling
the colonel another woman. Anyone, just

355
00:35:29.320 --> 00:35:35.159
promise me, promise. I need
him, I need Michael. Promise,

356
00:35:35.239 --> 00:35:50.719
and Genny promise, Thy God forgive
me, I I promise. Nay,

357
00:35:50.880 --> 00:35:59.960
we all join hands, Please clear
your minds, make some of black.

358
00:36:00.039 --> 00:36:12.000
Thank a quiet place, open and
hushed. I'm reaching now, reaching away

359
00:36:12.039 --> 00:36:20.519
and above and out and over from
here to the bonny bonny other place that

360
00:36:20.800 --> 00:36:30.079
lies beyond our cane. Can you
hear me, Hanna too? Can you

361
00:36:30.199 --> 00:36:44.239
come to me into our circle?
Not too We're reaching for you. Oh,

362
00:36:44.840 --> 00:36:47.639
I can't make contact. Ask for
Michael. I have no way to

363
00:36:47.719 --> 00:37:00.480
him. Then let me try it. Everyone concentrate, bestill, mistill Michael,

364
00:37:02.119 --> 00:37:16.039
Michael. I need you come to
me. Oh Michael, I love

365
00:37:16.079 --> 00:37:31.880
you, Love you, Michael.
It's not our child, you Carrie cat

366
00:37:32.239 --> 00:37:42.960
grien of you. Michael. It's
no use, child. There's no contact

367
00:37:43.000 --> 00:37:46.360
tonight. We can break the ring. Will someone turn on the light please?

368
00:37:49.960 --> 00:37:52.960
I'm that sorry. Mary Hellen.
It's all right, Aunt Jeannie.

369
00:37:53.880 --> 00:37:59.320
You gave me what I wanted.
I've found out what I needed to know.

370
00:38:08.039 --> 00:38:13.119
Oh, I'm afraid that's quite impossible. My dear, you're not as

371
00:38:13.159 --> 00:38:16.480
backward as that doctor Ferguson. Then
help me. I can't, dear,

372
00:38:16.519 --> 00:38:22.480
it's too late. What do you
mean too late? When you came to

373
00:38:22.519 --> 00:38:27.920
me a few weeks ago and we
determined your pregnancy, you must have known

374
00:38:28.000 --> 00:38:32.280
that I would know it was already
well advanced. But it wasn't. Michael

375
00:38:32.320 --> 00:38:36.880
and I were only married a month
before that. You should know that,

376
00:38:37.519 --> 00:38:42.119
of course, I know that,
my dear. But facts are facts.

377
00:38:42.880 --> 00:38:45.960
You were carrying a child that's past
midterm, and the boy should now was

378
00:38:46.039 --> 00:38:53.079
just too dangerous past mid term.
Four and a half months. My guess

379
00:38:53.119 --> 00:39:00.719
is at least five that fast?
Oh God, no, it might wait.

380
00:39:00.199 --> 00:39:05.000
It could be born in any minute. There's no one to help me

381
00:39:05.159 --> 00:39:09.039
but myself. I'll drive you home, child, and I'll give you something

382
00:39:09.079 --> 00:39:22.480
to get a little rest. M
h, sleep now, Genie, let's

383
00:39:22.480 --> 00:39:29.039
go downstairs and talk food. We
angel so fin and pale and haunt.

384
00:39:29.199 --> 00:39:43.480
I come away. Let the rest. No, what you gave you'll never

385
00:39:43.559 --> 00:39:57.039
take away my it's never going to
be. God love me. He's tired.

386
00:39:57.800 --> 00:40:01.679
We're tired. Yes, that's the
way. Full moment, the time

387
00:40:01.880 --> 00:40:07.000
was right, and for her whole
protection, I see no other way,

388
00:40:07.079 --> 00:40:09.760
Genie, but to lock her away. Well, we'll not locking her up.

389
00:40:09.880 --> 00:40:14.679
It's a sanitarium. It's a really
lovely place. I don't think I

390
00:40:14.760 --> 00:40:17.079
could do it to her. I'll
care for her. You need, dear,

391
00:40:17.159 --> 00:40:21.920
If Ellen had play clampsey, or
a threatened miscarriage, or any one

392
00:40:22.000 --> 00:40:25.159
of a number of other diseases of
pregnancy, she would have to be hospitalized.

393
00:40:25.199 --> 00:40:30.320
Now think of it that way,
if you think it's best. It's

394
00:40:30.440 --> 00:40:35.079
the only way. Oh, no, doctor, mine is the only way.

395
00:40:37.760 --> 00:40:42.159
It sounded like the front door.
Ellen. Oh, I'll check upstairs.

396
00:40:42.239 --> 00:40:47.360
You look up, But I thought
you said she Oh, dear Lord,

397
00:40:47.880 --> 00:40:53.320
I got the premonition, Mary Ellen, Mary Ellen, how are you

398
00:40:53.519 --> 00:40:59.360
out there? It's fair, she's
gone. I gave her enough sedition to

399
00:40:59.400 --> 00:41:04.079
knock her out. But God,
the first come on, Jennie. We've

400
00:41:04.119 --> 00:41:20.440
got to cash her before the time. You'll never have him, You'll never

401
00:41:20.559 --> 00:41:31.559
be born one way. You don't
know one thing. You can't stand against

402
00:41:32.480 --> 00:41:55.239
ancient enemy. Look, listen,
my god, there wasn't a chance.

403
00:41:57.079 --> 00:42:07.719
We couldn't have saved po We motherless
lamb. It didn't take it long to

404
00:42:07.800 --> 00:42:14.400
follow her, poor husband, But
the child it hadn't been born, and

405
00:42:14.599 --> 00:42:21.039
she didn't want it. It wasn't
Michaels you know, Are you sure of

406
00:42:21.119 --> 00:42:23.559
that? Oh? Yes, it
was five months old at least from the

407
00:42:23.719 --> 00:42:31.880
size a monster. I didn't say
that. Still, I was thinking of

408
00:42:32.039 --> 00:42:38.320
X rays. There was something strange
about that embryo. I can't quite explain.

409
00:42:38.360 --> 00:42:45.519
It was nothing you could have understood, doctor. So at the last

410
00:42:46.800 --> 00:42:58.039
it was all the Lord's will,
maybe for the best at least Michael and

411
00:43:00.119 --> 00:43:14.760
Mary Ellen not in God's put.
At last, I'll be back in a

412
00:43:14.880 --> 00:43:25.159
moment with a final thought. Who
dreams on a solway will wake in another

413
00:43:25.320 --> 00:43:30.760
world. Our story has come full
circle for us. It's the end.

414
00:43:31.440 --> 00:43:37.440
Let's hope that for Ellen and Michael, it's only a beginning. If you

415
00:43:37.559 --> 00:43:42.800
believe some incubus possessed poor Ellen,
driving her and her husband to their death,

416
00:43:43.360 --> 00:43:50.159
there's another explanation. Insanity did run
in her family. So either way,

417
00:43:50.719 --> 00:43:53.199
even if there were the devil to
pay, it was still all in

418
00:43:53.320 --> 00:44:00.360
the mind. Our cast included Jadda
Rowland, Nick Pryor, Bryana ra Burn,

419
00:44:00.719 --> 00:44:06.960
and Ian Martin. Associate director Marlin
Swing. This is Hymen Brown.

420
00:44:08.920 --> 00:44:14.679
My dear, my dear, do
you enjoy history. Well, I suppose

421
00:44:15.039 --> 00:44:22.800
I'm a bit biased, being a
part of history myself. Well, I

422
00:44:22.000 --> 00:44:30.360
do enjoy a good story of the
past, a yarn of your They do

423
00:44:30.639 --> 00:44:37.119
bring me such such delightful comfort,
of course that, oh well, I'll

424
00:44:37.159 --> 00:44:40.360
be happy to put another log in
the fire. Go on, scoot closer

425
00:44:40.400 --> 00:44:46.320
to it. Keep yourself good and
warm. These thick stone walls are not

426
00:44:47.239 --> 00:44:52.840
particularly forgiven forgiving. I'll get another
part of tea on it. Now,

427
00:44:53.000 --> 00:44:59.039
get yourself comfortable. I think it's
about time I dust off another one for

428
00:44:59.239 --> 00:45:02.800
us. This one, this one
has a title that raises all sorts of

429
00:45:04.000 --> 00:45:09.920
questions in my mind. It's called
a tooth for Paul Revere. So go

430
00:45:10.039 --> 00:45:15.360
on, put your feet out your
feet stay wolves, day Wolf, Set

431
00:45:15.480 --> 00:45:21.960
up with the everyday grind, tied
out from the summer heat, I want

432
00:45:22.000 --> 00:45:29.519
to get away from it all.
We offer you escape, escape designed to

433
00:45:29.599 --> 00:45:32.039
free you from the four walls of
today. For a half hour of high

434
00:45:32.159 --> 00:45:39.119
adventure. You are spurring a lathered
horse through darkened streets, trapped by two

435
00:45:39.280 --> 00:45:44.920
hostile armies, with a kit of
magic in your pocket, and the American

436
00:45:45.000 --> 00:45:55.920
Revolution in the balance. Tonight we
escaped to an earlier day and to the

437
00:45:55.960 --> 00:46:01.199
workshop of a famous wizard. Has
Stephen been told it in his delightful story

438
00:46:01.639 --> 00:46:14.480
Our Tooth, Poor Paul Revere.
Oh, some say it all happened because

439
00:46:14.519 --> 00:46:16.920
of Hancock and Adams, and some
put it back to the Stamp Act,

440
00:46:16.960 --> 00:46:22.679
and before then. There's some that
hold out for Paul Revere and his little

441
00:46:22.719 --> 00:46:27.719
silver box. But the way I
heard it, the American Revolution broke out

442
00:46:27.800 --> 00:46:32.000
because of Lige Butterwick and his tooth. My great aunt was a Butterwick,

443
00:46:32.559 --> 00:46:37.519
and I heard it from her every
now and then. She'd write it out

444
00:46:37.599 --> 00:46:39.639
and want to get it put in
the history books, but they'd always put

445
00:46:39.679 --> 00:46:44.840
her off with some trifling sort of
excuse. But the way she told it

446
00:46:44.920 --> 00:46:49.559
to usk kids, sitting there before
the flickering fire on some blustery, blowy

447
00:46:49.679 --> 00:46:54.400
night, it sounded spooky enough and
wonderful enough to be as true as the

448
00:46:54.559 --> 00:47:02.199
Union history books better. You don't
get the right things from such In the

449
00:47:02.400 --> 00:47:08.119
story of a nation, it's the
queer corners that count, the tales that

450
00:47:08.280 --> 00:47:15.360
get whispered down through families. Now
take Paul Revere, for instance. All

451
00:47:15.519 --> 00:47:21.400
most folks think about as his riding
a horse, but he was a silver

452
00:47:21.679 --> 00:47:25.760
smith by trade, and there was
a kind of magic in that hand o

453
00:47:25.920 --> 00:47:34.280
his. I could see just a
little bit farther into the millstone than most

454
00:47:34.440 --> 00:47:39.000
folks. And in that little shopper
his, on those fateful nights, he

455
00:47:39.199 --> 00:47:45.920
sat over a miraculous flame and brooded
the revolution in a silver tea pot,

456
00:47:46.719 --> 00:48:00.239
and then he put it into a
little silver bugs No bigger'n this. Yes,

457
00:48:00.679 --> 00:48:04.920
that's the way my great aunt talked
about Paul Revere, and the chills

458
00:48:05.000 --> 00:48:08.199
ran a past pines. But it
takes all kinds to make a country,

459
00:48:08.320 --> 00:48:14.199
she used to say. And it
isn't till the plain ones like Liiedge Butterwick

460
00:48:14.400 --> 00:48:20.960
gets stirred up the things really start
to happen. Diige was just an ordinary

461
00:48:21.079 --> 00:48:27.000
sort of man without special vision into
a millstone. It might be a grand

462
00:48:27.079 --> 00:48:30.800
day in the history books, but
for him it was just Tuesday till he

463
00:48:30.880 --> 00:48:35.960
read about it in the papers.
Folks could argue and fret about Boston tea

464
00:48:36.039 --> 00:48:42.199
parties and British warships in Boston Harbor
and British soldiers in Boston streets. But

465
00:48:42.320 --> 00:48:46.119
Liedge Butterwick just plucked his tongue and
wondered how the corn might stand this year

466
00:48:46.519 --> 00:48:53.920
on his farm outside Lexington, Massachusetts. One day Liedge Butterwick woke up with

467
00:48:54.039 --> 00:48:59.079
a toothache. The hot salt pack
and the tansy tea his wife fixed for

468
00:48:59.199 --> 00:49:04.880
him. It seemed to help much. Our third day, Missus Butterwick tied

469
00:49:04.920 --> 00:49:08.079
a string to the tooth and lied
stood by the door. You ready,

470
00:49:09.079 --> 00:49:19.519
uh huh, Well, Bathy,
when it came to the pinch, couldn't

471
00:49:19.559 --> 00:49:30.159
quite do it. So that's how
Lige Butterwick came to ride into Lexington,

472
00:49:30.199 --> 00:49:36.440
Massachusetts that day. He just had
to see somebody about that tooth. And

473
00:49:36.519 --> 00:49:42.239
when he got there, the town
was in an uproar. Bye, Rig's

474
00:49:42.280 --> 00:49:46.920
Butterwick. Eh, oh that to
hear, Nibor Williams Blige. I didn't

475
00:49:46.960 --> 00:49:51.599
expect to see you here today.
It's my tooth tooth? What do you

476
00:49:51.679 --> 00:49:57.239
mean? Uh uh huh uh huh
huh oh, isn't it exciting? Exciting?

477
00:49:58.000 --> 00:50:00.199
The toothay? No, no,
oh, you would need all this?

478
00:50:01.239 --> 00:50:05.639
Have you seen them yet? Saying
who? By Hancock and Adams?

479
00:50:05.719 --> 00:50:08.400
Of course, John Hancock and Sam
Adams. They at the Parson Clarks.

480
00:50:09.039 --> 00:50:13.320
Only folks will come here to say? Was the barber beggure? He's the

481
00:50:13.400 --> 00:50:15.800
only one to do something for a
tooth. Uh, you don't pool me

482
00:50:15.920 --> 00:50:20.159
lied, You're probably just as excited
as I am. Have you cleaned your

483
00:50:20.239 --> 00:50:23.840
musket? Musket? Why it's five
months the hunting season yet, that's where

484
00:50:23.880 --> 00:50:29.960
you're wrong. Lies, looks like
hunting season maybe early this year. Huh.

485
00:50:30.559 --> 00:50:37.239
Keep your powder dry, huh.
And so Lije Butterwick came to Lexington

486
00:50:37.760 --> 00:50:39.639
and it was a great day for
the history books. And he him it

487
00:50:39.800 --> 00:50:45.719
was just Tuesday, and his tooth
was jumping. He went to see the

488
00:50:45.760 --> 00:50:49.239
barber, as the likeliest man he
knew to pull a tooth. At the

489
00:50:49.280 --> 00:50:52.880
barber took one look at it and
shook his head. I can pull her

490
00:50:52.960 --> 00:50:55.519
out all right, lide, but
she's got long ruts and strong ruts,

491
00:50:55.519 --> 00:51:00.840
and she can't leave an off al
gap when she's gone. M that's true.

492
00:51:00.039 --> 00:51:02.639
Now. What you really need,
though, it's caustic my business,

493
00:51:04.239 --> 00:51:07.920
one of these here, artificial teeth
to go there in the hole, artificial

494
00:51:07.000 --> 00:51:12.000
teeth. A land of mercy's flying
in the face of nature from the kind

495
00:51:12.159 --> 00:51:15.920
lodge. Artificial teeth is all the
gold these days. Reflections ought to keep

496
00:51:15.000 --> 00:51:19.360
up with times, but it would
do me no good. You see you

497
00:51:19.400 --> 00:51:22.440
were not a fish tooth. Yes, indeed it would, It would do

498
00:51:22.559 --> 00:51:25.480
you good. But suppose I did
want one, how in Tunket would have

499
00:51:25.480 --> 00:51:29.199
get it in Lexington? Now you
just leave that all to me. You'll

500
00:51:29.239 --> 00:51:31.440
have to go into Boston. But
I know just the man here if I

501
00:51:31.559 --> 00:51:37.719
can find it, had his prospect
is here somewhere. Oh, oh yes,

502
00:51:37.840 --> 00:51:42.519
here, see here mum fell Carver
in Boston. That fixes him.

503
00:51:42.559 --> 00:51:45.760
And they say he's a boss workman. Yes, Now you just listen to

504
00:51:45.800 --> 00:51:50.400
this here. Whereas many persons were
so unfortunate as to lose their four teeth,

505
00:51:50.639 --> 00:51:53.039
how that shoe lidge, oh to
their great detoment, not only in

506
00:51:53.159 --> 00:51:58.440
looks, but speaking both in public
and private. This is to inform all

507
00:51:58.519 --> 00:52:01.920
sorts that they can have them placed
by artificial ones. See that we'll look

508
00:52:02.039 --> 00:52:06.599
as well as the natural and answer
to the end of speaking to all intents.

509
00:52:07.039 --> 00:52:08.360
Oh yes, and then see it
was on Oh his name, Yes,

510
00:52:08.440 --> 00:52:14.119
his name's right here, Paul Revere
Goldsmith near the head of doctor CLARK'SWAF

511
00:52:14.280 --> 00:52:19.679
in Boston. Sounds well enough.
But what's it going to cost? Oh?

512
00:52:19.840 --> 00:52:22.239
I know Vere comes through here pretty
often as a matter of fact,

513
00:52:22.920 --> 00:52:27.400
Yes, it's a decent fella,
even if he is a pretty big bug

514
00:52:27.440 --> 00:52:30.960
and sounds Liptay you just mentioned my
name. Uh, it's something I hadn't

515
00:52:31.000 --> 00:52:36.719
thought of. But and for penny
and for pound, mis today's work already,

516
00:52:36.760 --> 00:52:38.480
and that two has got to come
out before I go starck staring mad.

517
00:52:39.440 --> 00:52:43.880
But what sort of man is is
Revere? Anyway? Oh he's a

518
00:52:43.920 --> 00:52:49.599
regular wizard, regular wizard with his
tools. Wizard. M I don't know

519
00:52:49.639 --> 00:52:52.400
about wizards, but if he can
fix my tooth, I'll call him one.

520
00:52:55.880 --> 00:53:01.519
So lives. Butter got back on
his horse and started for Boston.

521
00:53:02.320 --> 00:53:07.079
He rode through the busy, excited
streets of Lexington, and when they came

522
00:53:07.159 --> 00:53:10.440
opposite the residence of Parson Clark,
they saw a little crowd collected and men

523
00:53:10.599 --> 00:53:15.599
staring. So he stopped his horse
for a moment and looked, mister is

524
00:53:15.840 --> 00:53:19.239
that them? Is it? Hr? Sign? Mister Hancock and mister Adams,

525
00:53:19.239 --> 00:53:22.760
Sir there through the window, tall
handsome man and the short man with

526
00:53:22.880 --> 00:53:25.400
face like a bulldog. I wouldn't
no sun, no strangers to me.

527
00:53:25.960 --> 00:53:32.840
Get up. When he got to
Boston, he began to feel queer,

528
00:53:34.840 --> 00:53:37.760
and it wasn't only his tooth.
He hadn't been there for four years,

529
00:53:38.320 --> 00:53:44.199
and he'd expected to find it changed, but it wasn't that either. The

530
00:53:44.320 --> 00:53:47.599
sky was clear and beautiful, but
Ledge felt like there was thunder in the

531
00:53:47.679 --> 00:53:53.159
air. It was uncanny. And
the people they did little knuts of them

532
00:53:53.199 --> 00:53:55.519
on the corners, but when you
came up to them, they seemed to

533
00:53:55.639 --> 00:54:01.119
melt away or didn't look at you, stopped talking. And then he came

534
00:54:01.199 --> 00:54:07.639
to the harbor out there in the
Port of Boston, riding black and grim

535
00:54:07.159 --> 00:54:12.559
with the British warships. He had
no one that'd be there, of course,

536
00:54:13.679 --> 00:54:16.360
but it was different somehow, seeing
them with their guns pointed in at

537
00:54:16.400 --> 00:54:22.360
the town. Suddenly felt uncomfortable,
felt it detected to turn and go home.

538
00:54:23.280 --> 00:54:27.599
But he was hungry, and so
he went to a tavern for a

539
00:54:27.679 --> 00:54:38.840
bite. Good day to you,
and what may I do for you,

540
00:54:39.079 --> 00:54:45.960
stranger, Just bite us up.
If you're serving HI, have a seat,

541
00:54:46.760 --> 00:54:54.360
you'll be served. Thank you.
Uh nice weather having these days.

542
00:54:55.199 --> 00:55:01.599
It's bitter weather for Boston, well
maybe for Boston, but out in the

543
00:55:01.639 --> 00:55:07.039
country we'd call a good plant weather. I guess maybe I was mistaken in

544
00:55:07.159 --> 00:55:12.519
you. It is good planting weather
for some kind of trees. Trees.

545
00:55:13.000 --> 00:55:16.480
Well, now I suppose you're right
about that. That's and what kind of

546
00:55:16.559 --> 00:55:22.599
trees would you be thinking of?
There's trees and trees you know. Well,

547
00:55:22.400 --> 00:55:25.559
now that you're asking, you might
the liberty tree, and may it

548
00:55:25.719 --> 00:55:30.400
soon be watered in the blood of
tyrants, the royal oak of England,

549
00:55:30.440 --> 00:55:47.159
and God save King George and Laty
I glory. I always heard city folks

550
00:55:47.199 --> 00:55:52.519
were crazy, but politics must be
getting serious in these American colonies when they

551
00:55:52.639 --> 00:55:58.519
start fighting about trees. Aye and
it his friend. So they threw you

552
00:55:58.639 --> 00:56:01.599
out too, Yes, but I
want to shake your hand. Nobly done,

553
00:56:01.639 --> 00:56:06.280
Ford. I'm glad to find another
true hearted man loyal to the crown

554
00:56:06.320 --> 00:56:10.039
in this pestilent, rebellious city.
Wow. I don't know as I quite

555
00:56:10.039 --> 00:56:14.840
agree with you about that, But
I came here to get my toothfakes,

556
00:56:14.880 --> 00:56:19.000
not to talk about politics. And
as long as you've spoken so pleasant,

557
00:56:19.079 --> 00:56:22.280
I wonder if you could help me
out. You see, I'm from Lexington

558
00:56:22.360 --> 00:56:27.320
Way and I'm looking for a fellow
named Paul Revere. Paul Revere, No,

559
00:56:27.559 --> 00:56:30.559
so it's Paul Revere. You want
my worthy and ingenious friend from the

560
00:56:30.599 --> 00:56:34.159
country. Well, I'll tell you
how to find him. Good, I

561
00:56:34.320 --> 00:56:37.320
thank you. You go up to
the first British soldier you see and ask

562
00:56:37.440 --> 00:56:40.800
the way, but you'd better give
the password first password. Yes, you

563
00:56:40.880 --> 00:56:45.159
say to that British soldier, and
he lobsters for sale today, and then

564
00:56:45.199 --> 00:56:49.360
you ask about Revere. But why
do I talk about lobsters first? Well,

565
00:56:49.400 --> 00:56:52.280
you see, the British soldiers wear
redcoats, so they like being asked

566
00:56:52.280 --> 00:56:57.559
about lobsters. Just try it and
see, Just try it, my friend,

567
00:56:57.679 --> 00:57:10.320
and see. Pardon me, sir? Do you have any lobsters for

568
00:57:10.400 --> 00:57:24.079
sale today? What old day?
You seize? That man barrel place to

569
00:57:24.199 --> 00:57:43.599
hide? I'll not wait, Come
on, fudge, huh uh, you

570
00:57:43.679 --> 00:57:46.960
can come out now they've gone past. Oh oh, yes, thank you.

571
00:57:49.599 --> 00:57:52.920
Nice. Look at your clothes.
That was a tar barrel you jumped

572
00:57:52.920 --> 00:57:58.360
into. I'm aside, what were
they chasing you for? I really don't

573
00:57:58.440 --> 00:58:01.920
know. I guess I didn't give
I password password. It's but all the

574
00:58:02.000 --> 00:58:05.719
same. I don't think soldiers ought
to act like that when you ask them

575
00:58:05.719 --> 00:58:08.320
myself a question, But said he, folks are soldiers. They can't make

576
00:58:08.360 --> 00:58:12.639
a fool out of me. I
came here to get my tooth fixed.

577
00:58:12.679 --> 00:58:15.119
And get it fixed. So well, if I have to surprise the whole

578
00:58:15.159 --> 00:58:17.119
British Kingdom to do it. Good
for you, sir, Can I be

579
00:58:17.199 --> 00:58:20.679
of any help to you? Ah? You can, boy? Uh,

580
00:58:21.199 --> 00:58:23.480
tell me where I may find the
silversmith Paul Revere. Od, that's easy.

581
00:58:23.800 --> 00:58:27.920
Right before your eyes. There's a
sign hanging down by the wharf,

582
00:58:28.159 --> 00:58:30.880
and that's his shop. I worked
there. Well, Now, those soldiers

583
00:58:30.920 --> 00:58:34.719
did me a good turn after all. Come on, boy, and now

584
00:58:34.800 --> 00:58:43.159
maybe I'll get my tooth fixed.
Then, Liedje Butterwick was in the shop

585
00:58:43.239 --> 00:58:49.079
of Paul Revere, silversmith, goldsmith, jack of all trades, sculpturer of

586
00:58:49.239 --> 00:58:57.480
artificial teeth, brewer, revolutions wizard. The shop itself was small and dark,

587
00:58:58.280 --> 00:59:02.719
with mysterious shadows looking in corners and
the bag It was crammed full of

588
00:59:02.760 --> 00:59:08.039
the wondrous products of its owner's skillful
hand. Gold and silver, objects of

589
00:59:08.159 --> 00:59:15.000
great beauty, Prince of Boston and
caricatures were the British odd boxes and bottles

590
00:59:15.079 --> 00:59:20.880
filling the shelves. At this particular
moment, it was also full of customers,

591
00:59:21.519 --> 00:59:25.480
and Liede Butterweight, with the cautious
shyness of the countryman, sank back

592
00:59:25.519 --> 00:59:30.119
into a corner seat out of the
way, watched as Paul Revere waited on

593
00:59:30.280 --> 00:59:37.880
several customers. The last of these
was a grand lady who looked like an

594
00:59:37.000 --> 00:59:42.320
irate Turkey governess. Oh, Master
Revere, I am so disappointed. When

595
00:59:42.320 --> 00:59:45.480
I took the things from the box, I could just have cried. It's

596
00:59:45.519 --> 00:59:49.400
I whom disappointed, madam. What
was the trouble? Must have been carelessly

597
00:59:49.480 --> 00:59:51.840
pecked? Was it badly ended?
Now speak the boy? No, no,

598
00:59:51.960 --> 00:59:57.159
it wasn't dainted. But I wanted
a really impressive silver service, something

599
00:59:57.199 --> 01:00:00.320
I can use when the governor comes
to die with us. I certainly paid

600
01:00:00.360 --> 01:00:05.000
for the best. And what have
you given me? I've given you the

601
01:00:05.079 --> 01:00:07.880
best work of which I'm capable,
madam. It was in my hands for

602
01:00:08.000 --> 01:00:13.159
six months, and I think they're
capable hands. Oh, I know you

603
01:00:13.400 --> 01:00:16.960
were a competent artisan, Master will
silver Smith. Well, I don't care

604
01:00:17.000 --> 01:00:21.000
what you call it. I know
I wanted a real service, something I

605
01:00:21.039 --> 01:00:23.199
could show my friends. And what
have you given me? Oh? It's

606
01:00:23.239 --> 01:00:27.639
silver if you choose. But it's
just as plain as a picket fence.

607
01:00:28.360 --> 01:00:34.480
Simple plain. You pay me high
compliments, madam, Oh, compliments.

608
01:00:34.519 --> 01:00:37.719
Indeed, I'll send it back tomorrow. Why there isn't as much as a

609
01:00:37.920 --> 01:00:40.239
lion or a unicorn on the cream
jug. And I told you I wanted

610
01:00:40.280 --> 01:00:45.000
the sugar bowl covered with silver grapes. But you've given me something as bare

611
01:00:45.039 --> 01:00:46.079
as the hills of New England.
And I won't stand it. I tell

612
01:00:46.119 --> 01:00:50.760
you I'll send to London instead.
And way, madam. We are making

613
01:00:51.400 --> 01:00:57.280
new things in this country, new
men, new silver perhaps, who knows

614
01:00:57.360 --> 01:01:01.719
a new nation, plain, simple, bear as the hills and rocks of

615
01:01:01.920 --> 01:01:07.800
New England, graceful as the boughs
of elm trees. If my silver were

616
01:01:07.880 --> 01:01:13.719
only like that, indeed, that's
what I wished to make it. As

617
01:01:13.800 --> 01:01:16.559
for you, madam, with your
lions and unicorns and great leaves, and

618
01:01:16.639 --> 01:01:22.320
your nonsense of bad ornamentation done by
bad silversmiths, you're imported bad taste,

619
01:01:22.320 --> 01:01:27.440
and you're imported British manners. Puff
away with you, Puff Puff, Puff

620
01:01:30.840 --> 01:01:39.000
puff, I say, William,
Yes, sir, put up the shutters.

621
01:01:39.679 --> 01:01:44.760
We're closing for the day, oh
William, No word yet from doctor

622
01:01:44.800 --> 01:01:49.280
Warren, Not yet, sir,
Yeah, what's that? Well? Who

623
01:01:49.280 --> 01:01:52.239
are you there in the corner?
Well, Master Vere it is, Master

624
01:01:52.400 --> 01:01:57.760
Vere, Yes, yes, of
course it's a kind of a long story,

625
01:01:58.320 --> 01:02:00.760
but uh, clothes or not.
You got to listen to me.

626
01:02:00.480 --> 01:02:05.320
The barber told me so, the
barber. You see, I'm LED's Butterwick

627
01:02:05.400 --> 01:02:13.960
and that's my tooth. Tooth.
You'd better begin at the beginning. Oh

628
01:02:14.039 --> 01:02:16.400
but wait now, yeah, you
don't talk like a Boston man. Where'd

629
01:02:16.400 --> 01:02:21.480
you come from? Around Lexington Way? And you Kington? Were you there

630
01:02:21.559 --> 01:02:24.800
this morning? But of course I
was. That's where the barber. I

631
01:02:24.880 --> 01:02:29.559
never mind about the barber. Miss
Hancock and mister Adams still at passing clocks?

632
01:02:30.400 --> 01:02:32.960
Well there might have been for all
I know, but I couldn't say.

633
01:02:34.159 --> 01:02:36.519
Great heaven. Is there a man
in the American colonies who don't know

634
01:02:36.639 --> 01:02:39.639
Miss Hancock and mister Adams. Oh
well, there seems to be me.

635
01:02:40.639 --> 01:02:45.119
But speaking of strangers, there was
two of them staying at the parsonage when

636
01:02:45.119 --> 01:02:50.840
I rode past. One was a
handsome man. The other man looked more

637
01:02:50.920 --> 01:02:55.239
like a bulldog. So they still
live, and they're brittish ready to match.

638
01:02:57.440 --> 01:02:59.800
Did you see many soldiers as you
hear in my shoppings, by the

639
01:02:59.840 --> 01:03:02.920
way, say them they chased me
into a tire barrel. Was hal pastial

640
01:03:02.960 --> 01:03:07.880
of them by the common with guns
and flags, look as if them at

641
01:03:07.960 --> 01:03:12.639
business. Thank you, miss Bederwick. You're a shrewd observer. You've done

642
01:03:12.679 --> 01:03:15.840
me and the colonies an invaluable service. Ah. That's nice to know.

643
01:03:16.079 --> 01:03:22.760
But speaking of this too, you're
a stubborn man, mister Bewick. All

644
01:03:22.800 --> 01:03:27.519
the better. I like stubborn men. I wish we had more of them.

645
01:03:28.719 --> 01:03:31.760
Well, one good time serves another. You've helped me. I'll do

646
01:03:31.880 --> 01:03:37.519
my best for you. I've made
artificial teeth, but drying them is hardly

647
01:03:37.599 --> 01:03:43.119
my trade. All the same,
it's have a look heah, come over,

648
01:03:43.239 --> 01:03:47.039
up in the light, hi,
and now open. Ah. Yeah,

649
01:03:49.679 --> 01:03:53.519
well, mister Butterwick, it appears
to be compound a glutinated infection of

650
01:03:53.519 --> 01:03:58.119
the upper mola, and I'm afraid
I can't do anything about it tonight.

651
01:03:58.360 --> 01:04:04.480
But here's a draft that will ease
the pain for a while. There.

652
01:04:06.159 --> 01:04:21.239
Drink hm hm hm hmm. It's
it's spicy and uh queer. Never mind.

653
01:04:23.559 --> 01:04:28.920
Now you go to a tavern,
get a night trails, come back

654
01:04:29.000 --> 01:04:33.239
see me in the morning. I'll
find a truth drata for you if I'm

655
01:04:33.280 --> 01:04:39.679
here. Oh yes, you must
have some liniment. Uh that's a queer

656
01:04:39.800 --> 01:04:45.639
kind of shop you have here,
mister avert. Some folks think so,

657
01:04:45.440 --> 01:04:53.159
say what's in that little bottle where? Oh? Then that's a little chemical

658
01:04:53.320 --> 01:04:57.880
experiment of mine. I call it
essence of Boston. But there's a good

659
01:04:58.000 --> 01:05:02.400
deal of the East Wind essence of
Boston. Well, they did say it

660
01:05:02.519 --> 01:05:10.280
was a wizard. It's genuine magic. I suppose genuine magic, of course.

661
01:05:12.039 --> 01:05:16.079
And here here's the march with your
liniment. No, no, not

662
01:05:16.239 --> 01:05:23.360
that one, this one I thank
you. But that other little box are

663
01:05:23.440 --> 01:05:27.360
the little silver woman with the stars
on it and the elm tree. You

664
01:05:27.559 --> 01:05:32.039
like it? Pick it up?
Mighty pretty work, thank you? My

665
01:05:32.159 --> 01:05:40.440
own design thirteen stars there see them? You could make a very pretty design

666
01:05:40.519 --> 01:05:46.119
with stars for a new country seat
if you wanted to. I've sometimes thought

667
01:05:46.159 --> 01:05:50.599
of it. But what's in the
box? It feels queer? What's in

668
01:05:50.639 --> 01:05:59.519
it? What's in the air around
us? Can pound out or making of

669
01:05:59.599 --> 01:06:06.000
a new nation? The time isn't
right here, not quite ripe. I

670
01:06:06.119 --> 01:06:13.719
mean that this here revolution that folks
keep talking about. Yes, in this

671
01:06:13.920 --> 01:06:18.679
box, glory b Master Revere,
It's come, It's come, the message

672
01:06:18.679 --> 01:06:24.920
from doctor Warren William my writing boots. Now hurry I must be off.

673
01:06:25.079 --> 01:06:27.320
Sorry, miss Butterwick, but I
must rush and take you a lin the

674
01:06:27.360 --> 01:06:30.800
mind and come back tomorrow. Yes, Hick, I'll help you. Yes

675
01:06:30.920 --> 01:06:38.679
day, it wasn't till Ledge.
Butterwick was alone in his room at the

676
01:06:38.719 --> 01:06:43.360
tavern, where he was to stay
the night, and he realized what he

677
01:06:43.360 --> 01:06:47.840
had done. In the bustle and
haste of leaving mister Rivera's shop, he

678
01:06:47.960 --> 01:06:53.760
had picked up the wrong box.
Instead of the box of linament. He

679
01:06:54.000 --> 01:06:58.920
held in his hand, the little
silver box with the thirteen stars upon it.

680
01:07:01.920 --> 01:07:06.119
He hadn't quite believed mister Revere when
he talked about the box, and

681
01:07:06.239 --> 01:07:13.519
then everything had seemed so almighty queer
since he had arrived in Boston, and

682
01:07:13.679 --> 01:07:17.079
his toothache and his head felt light, and he, being human, was

683
01:07:17.360 --> 01:07:23.719
curious. He looked for a keyhole, but there was none. The box

684
01:07:23.760 --> 01:07:31.320
wouldn't open. He shook it suddenly
it felt warm, as if there was

685
01:07:31.400 --> 01:07:45.360
something alive inside it. He held
it to his ear. Great Godfrey,

686
01:07:46.920 --> 01:07:53.119
now Elijah. Butterwick was feeling scared, but he was feeling kind of good

687
01:07:53.159 --> 01:07:57.719
too, And then he found out
that he was talking to himself. I'm

688
01:07:57.760 --> 01:08:01.320
not a Britisher, I'm a new
Englander, and maybe there's something beyond there,

689
01:08:02.559 --> 01:08:08.599
something people like Hancock Adams know a
boss. And if it has to

690
01:08:08.639 --> 01:08:13.599
come with a revolution, well I
guess it has to come. God's stay

691
01:08:13.599 --> 01:08:17.119
of British is forever here in this
country. But what am I going to

692
01:08:17.159 --> 01:08:23.079
do with this box? Do big
a job for one man? Guess we'll

693
01:08:23.119 --> 01:08:30.479
have to take this back to Paul
Revere. First he went to the little

694
01:08:30.520 --> 01:08:36.199
shop on clock Swarf, but it
was closed up tight and it was a

695
01:08:36.279 --> 01:08:42.159
while before he could rouse anyone.
Then it was the boy William who opened

696
01:08:42.199 --> 01:08:47.319
the door. Oh it's you.
Well, Master Revere isn't here, but

697
01:08:47.399 --> 01:08:50.880
I've got to find him. Can
you tell me where he's gone? Why

698
01:08:50.960 --> 01:08:55.239
do you want to know? Got
something for him? He needs it?

699
01:08:56.000 --> 01:08:59.439
You wouldn't be a spy for the
British, now would you a spy?

700
01:09:00.279 --> 01:09:03.840
Me? Well? And what is
it you got for him? That box?

701
01:09:04.319 --> 01:09:09.000
Little silver box? Took it by
mistake? I think it's important,

702
01:09:09.279 --> 01:09:13.399
the box by the flag. It
isn't parting. But he's gone gone won.

703
01:09:13.439 --> 01:09:15.039
The patriots of the British are coming. Which way, boy? Which

704
01:09:15.079 --> 01:09:19.000
way did he go across the river
to Charlestown? All right? Thank you,

705
01:09:19.039 --> 01:09:29.359
boy, I'll be following. No, you don't get any boats from

706
01:09:29.439 --> 01:09:31.159
me. There was a crazy man
long here an hour ago, and he

707
01:09:31.279 --> 01:09:35.319
wanted a boat too. My husband
was crazy enough to take him. Do

708
01:09:35.399 --> 01:09:39.319
you know what he did? No, ma'am. He made my husband take

709
01:09:39.359 --> 01:09:43.239
my best petticoat to muckle the oar
so the wooden splash when they passed that

710
01:09:43.359 --> 01:09:46.840
British ship. My best petticoat.
Mind you, when my husband comes back,

711
01:09:46.920 --> 01:09:49.760
he's going to get a piece of
my eye. Was his name?

712
01:09:49.840 --> 01:09:54.560
Paul Revere was a man of forty
eyed, keen looking kind of frenchy.

713
01:09:54.640 --> 01:09:58.439
I don't know what his right name
is, but his name's mudd with me

714
01:09:59.159 --> 01:10:03.279
my best pettic outdoor into strips and
swimming in that Master River. Thank you,

715
01:10:03.359 --> 01:10:14.600
ma'am. I get a boat elsewhere. Mister Butterwick's be careful your n

716
01:10:14.680 --> 01:10:16.239
us right under the stern of a
British man of war. Don't worry,

717
01:10:16.279 --> 01:10:26.039
I'll say it please, mister Butterwicks
are it's not I had a boat.

718
01:10:26.520 --> 01:10:36.119
Be careful, mister Butterwick. All
right, boy, here he's been going

719
01:10:36.159 --> 01:10:41.479
an hour, gone gone where,
riding into elections. Warren Hancock and Adams

720
01:10:41.520 --> 01:10:43.840
as soon as he spied the lights
up there in the north Church. And

721
01:10:43.920 --> 01:10:46.079
I've got to catch him, says
Box. He's got to have it.

722
01:10:46.840 --> 01:10:56.560
Can get a horse right over here. Come on out through the darkened streets

723
01:10:56.600 --> 01:11:00.960
of Charles Towney Road on into the
black of the countryside. Once he got

724
01:11:00.039 --> 01:11:03.279
lost, but he found his way
again and rode on. It was just

725
01:11:03.359 --> 01:11:06.399
dawn as he came inside of Lexington, and the jew was glistening on the

726
01:11:06.439 --> 01:11:11.359
green of the aprol grass. Obliged, Butterwick didn't notice the beauty of the

727
01:11:11.439 --> 01:11:15.319
dawn. The little silver box was
hot now and burning in his pocket.

728
01:11:15.119 --> 01:11:19.680
Then suddenly he reined in his horse. Were there on the road with two

729
01:11:19.760 --> 01:11:26.000
men carrying a trunk, and one
of them was Paul Revere. Well,

730
01:11:26.119 --> 01:11:29.760
mister Vere, say, I'm on
time for that little appointment about my tour.

731
01:11:29.920 --> 01:11:35.399
Well you you are stubborn man,
mister Bedwick. Oh ah, but

732
01:11:35.960 --> 01:11:40.600
you give me a mary chase all
night. I had one myself, been

733
01:11:40.680 --> 01:11:44.359
captured by the British once and escaped. I don't know what's still in store

734
01:11:44.439 --> 01:11:47.079
for me, but we're carrying a
precious cargo here in this trunk. Were

735
01:11:47.119 --> 01:11:51.960
bringing to safety all the private papers
of mister Hancock and mister which reminds me

736
01:11:53.119 --> 01:12:00.039
I've something for you here, silver
box. You've got the silver box I

737
01:12:00.159 --> 01:12:02.439
buy mistake, and it's getting frightfully
hot in my hand, Yes, my

738
01:12:02.520 --> 01:12:08.760
friend, and a little wonder.
Across there at Lexington Green, the Green,

739
01:12:10.560 --> 01:12:14.720
why, there is a line of
Lexington men, and there across the

740
01:12:14.800 --> 01:12:18.000
craig facing them, there's a column
of British red coats land up with guns.

741
01:12:18.000 --> 01:12:21.399
They arnest by the week they've come
to arrest Miss Hancock, mister Adams

742
01:12:21.479 --> 01:12:27.399
and the minute men stand before them. Mister Verair, I'm a peaceable man.

743
01:12:28.600 --> 01:12:31.720
I've had little notion of politics.
But I don't like what I saw

744
01:12:31.760 --> 01:12:39.119
in Boston. I don't like soldiers
chasing peaceable citizens into tar barrels uppitty ladies

745
01:12:39.119 --> 01:12:44.279
with imported British manners. And I
don't like British red coats on Lexington Green.

746
01:12:44.800 --> 01:12:48.199
That I don't. Mister Bedwick,
what you doing? I'm stamping on

747
01:12:48.279 --> 01:12:54.399
yourself a box, mister Revere and
breaking it open? Do you know what

748
01:12:54.560 --> 01:13:00.960
you done? Let out the American
Revolution? Look there the first Well,

749
01:13:00.560 --> 01:13:04.159
I guess it's about time, and
I guess i'd better be going now,

750
01:13:04.680 --> 01:13:09.600
mister Bedwick, where are you going? Mom? Got a musket on the

751
01:13:09.640 --> 01:13:12.760
wall there, I'll be eating it. But here, what about your tooth?

752
01:13:13.239 --> 01:13:17.600
Oh, tooth's just a tooth.
But a country is a country anyhow,

753
01:13:18.039 --> 01:13:34.359
Not snake anymore? Escape Produced and

757
01:13:54.720 --> 01:14:00.720
You know, as I leaned forward
to the fire polk and rotted to make

758
01:14:00.800 --> 01:14:06.640
sure it stays bright, hot enough, hot enough for us to maintain our

759
01:14:08.560 --> 01:14:15.439
comfort, as it were, I
can't help but think about when that fire

760
01:14:15.600 --> 01:14:24.239
goes out, when the warmth is
no longer there and the light light is

761
01:14:24.439 --> 01:14:30.479
absent. Now, of course we
all know what's that. Oh no,

762
01:14:30.640 --> 01:14:35.039
no, no, plenty of logs
still yet to birth. We all know

763
01:14:35.319 --> 01:14:42.880
that the opposite of light is dark
God. And that's exactly what this story

764
01:14:42.920 --> 01:14:48.000
I've dug up for you is all
about. It's called the dark God,

765
01:14:49.159 --> 01:14:56.039
and that's what it's about so go
on, close your eyes and prepare.

766
01:14:56.920 --> 01:15:11.239
The dark is never far. Hey, where are you turning? The arms

767
01:15:11.239 --> 01:15:14.199
said pine street it? Oh,
yes, yes, of course. So

768
01:15:14.319 --> 01:15:16.239
why the siren. The only traffic
out here is a horseback. Yeah,

769
01:15:17.039 --> 01:15:28.079
now you can say that again.
Doc is from nothing to nowhere? Okay,

770
01:15:28.319 --> 01:15:36.039
let's go. Yeah, cratch wada. Doc right with you said somebody

771
01:15:36.199 --> 01:15:43.520
was hurt. That's what the switchboard
said. See would have done? Huh.

772
01:15:44.119 --> 01:15:45.319
Don't seem to be a bell.
Oh, there must be. There's

773
01:15:45.359 --> 01:15:53.760
a light in there. Try the
door. Yeah, it's open. Well,

774
01:15:53.840 --> 01:16:01.439

779
01:16:28.760 --> 01:16:30.840
to go? In there? You
can't get this open. Whoever is hurt

780
01:16:30.960 --> 01:16:36.000
must be in there, blasted dark. Come, I's write it down.

781
01:16:36.439 --> 01:16:40.279
But the woman. I get the
woman. Come on, put your shoulder

782
01:16:40.319 --> 01:16:50.920

Yeah, oh, mother in heaven

785
01:17:14.640 --> 01:17:21.520
It's a man? Oh no,

787
01:17:28.920 --> 01:17:38.680
inside oscar inside. I'll get say
for yourself. It's a man. But

788
01:17:38.840 --> 01:17:45.399
the skin is the inside, the
raw flesh is the outside. A man

789
01:17:45.680 --> 01:17:50.760
turned inside out. I could turn
a glove inside. It's alive. It's

790
01:17:50.760 --> 01:18:00.359
alive. Trying to get up to
molight eign over, try trying to get

floor in there. I don't see

797
01:18:30.439 --> 01:18:38.159
nothing, nothing but dark. Look
a dark sort of spills over on the

798
01:18:38.279 --> 01:18:43.359
edges. Huh. Look, I
tell you it's a deeper dark than dark.

799
01:18:45.159 --> 01:18:49.399
Something moving in there. Doc,

800
01:18:49.560 --> 01:18:54.279
wait, I'll close it. Oh
you'll full open that door. I've got

801
01:18:54.359 --> 01:19:00.199
to see what he's coming in.
Come on, doc, let's get out

802
01:19:00.199 --> 01:19:01.079
of here. No, Sam,
I'm going to find out what this is

803
01:19:01.119 --> 01:19:04.640
all about. All my life,
things have been what they've been. I'm

804
01:19:04.680 --> 01:19:10.520
going to know all of it.
Please, doc, Please, let's get

805
01:19:10.520 --> 01:19:13.960
out of here. Woman. If
you know anything, tell me what was

806
01:19:14.039 --> 01:19:15.239
if we saw back of that door
where the floor should have been. Do

807
01:19:15.319 --> 01:19:23.479
you know she's born to the door. She's gonna open it. Yes,

808
01:19:25.760 --> 01:19:28.439
Doc, would you listen to me, Let's get out of it. No,

809
01:19:28.880 --> 01:19:32.760
no, wait, it's just standing
there looking in at the dark.

810
01:19:33.840 --> 01:19:42.960
Yeah, Doc, what's that coming
up out of the hole on the floor

811
01:19:43.560 --> 01:19:56.800
the dark? It's like my black
smoke. Listen to it. It's reaching

812
01:19:56.960 --> 01:20:05.800
up to her. Yes, what
is it? Smook black? What crawling

813
01:20:06.000 --> 01:20:26.000
up around her? It's covering her. Oh, she'd cried out. It

814
01:20:26.560 --> 01:20:35.760
turns her inside out, Sam,
Sam, get up, Sam, opened

815
01:20:35.760 --> 01:20:40.000
your eyes. The shadows are crawling
along the floor, tortoise. Come on,

816
01:20:40.239 --> 01:20:44.960
Sam, come on, you say, Gosh, she's too heavy.

817
01:20:45.039 --> 01:20:48.000
I can't lift you. Sam,
You've got to hear me. The shadows

818
01:20:48.039 --> 01:20:51.520
are crawling taught me along the floor. I can't leave you. You thought

819
01:20:51.560 --> 01:20:58.439
they did to her? Look at
her inside out a woman inside out.

820
01:20:59.199 --> 01:21:04.840
Oh, Sam, I'll drank you
out of here. Your so heavy.

821
01:21:06.079 --> 01:21:12.920
They're coming faster and faster like long
black fingers. Yeah, my legs.

822
01:21:13.319 --> 01:21:17.000
What God me, Sam, I
can't help you to hold me back.

823
01:21:18.720 --> 01:21:36.199
The black it's covering you. Sam. M uh no, no, you

824
01:21:36.800 --> 01:21:41.720
you thing whatever? You want to
get off me? Stam covering me.

825
01:21:42.600 --> 01:21:44.640
I've got to get out of here. I gotta tell them all about you.

826
01:21:45.079 --> 01:21:47.159
I've gotta tell everyone there's something like
you loos in the world. Got

827
01:21:47.279 --> 01:21:55.199
to warn everybody. Get off me
covering me over my head. Yeah,

828
01:21:56.279 --> 01:22:24.319
my face, the were very learn
I ain't never right. Oh relax.

829
01:22:24.479 --> 01:22:30.840
Now your eyes are open. The
room has light from the fireplace and these

830
01:22:30.960 --> 01:22:35.399
candles. I myselfe I am not
a big fan of the dark, believe

831
01:22:35.399 --> 01:22:44.000
it or not, but now I
know the night is growing long and you

832
01:22:44.199 --> 01:22:48.159
need to head back to your home
soon. So so why not one more

833
01:22:48.279 --> 01:22:54.840
story stores before we call it a
night? As it were? Well,

834
01:22:54.920 --> 01:22:58.560
this one, I've always been curious
about it, but I don't know that

835
01:22:58.680 --> 01:23:04.359
I've have a listening to it,
at least not in this life. Since

836
01:23:04.399 --> 01:23:10.479
it's almost the holiday, which,
by the way, I'll have a special

837
01:23:10.560 --> 01:23:15.520
gift for you on the holiday,
Why not a story that kind of sounds

838
01:23:15.680 --> 01:23:20.039
like a gift of sorts, but
probably not one you'd want to receive us.

839
01:23:21.199 --> 01:23:30.279
This is called a Shroud for Sarah. Now listen with me. Now,

840
01:23:31.199 --> 01:23:47.720

847
01:24:25.439 --> 01:24:38.399
you Miss Lucille Ball in a remarkable
tale of Suspense, Sarah, Sarah,

848
01:24:38.560 --> 01:24:42.760
come in, George, how did
it go Darling? George, you're trembling.

849
01:24:42.840 --> 01:24:45.359
Something went wrong? No, nothing
went wrong? You got it?

850
01:24:45.439 --> 01:24:46.840
Then? Yeah, I got it
stuffed in all my pockets here, I'm

851
01:24:46.880 --> 01:24:55.640
dumping on the bed. Here you
are, Sarah seventeen grand seventeen thousand.

852
01:24:56.159 --> 01:25:00.439
It's more than we expected. Yeah, George, you're acting queerly. Did

853
01:25:00.479 --> 01:25:02.600
everything work out all right? Sure? Sure it did. It was dark

854
01:25:02.680 --> 01:25:06.439
soap, just like old time,
Sarah. Remember how every job clicked sure

855
01:25:06.439 --> 01:25:12.600
a fire when we used to plant
them together? George? Yeah, you're

856
01:25:12.720 --> 01:25:16.399
lying, aren't you? Sarah?
You really love me, don't you?

857
01:25:16.840 --> 01:25:20.279
Do. You have to ask would
I have come back otherwise? Ten years

858
01:25:20.319 --> 01:25:24.720
is a long time. I thought
you'd be changed. I never thought you'd

859
01:25:24.760 --> 01:25:27.840
come back like this, out of
nowhere. I don't even know what you've

860
01:25:27.840 --> 01:25:30.399
been doing, where you've been living, what name you're using. You haven't

861
01:25:30.399 --> 01:25:31.920
told me a thing about yourself.
I will, George, I will as

862
01:25:31.960 --> 01:25:34.880
soon as we get out of this
apartment, as soon as we're really together,

863
01:25:35.000 --> 01:25:36.840
dying. That's the way you wanted, isn't it, Sarah? Of

864
01:25:36.960 --> 01:25:40.439
course? Why do you think I
never got a divorce? I didn't you

865
01:25:40.560 --> 01:25:43.319
know? I didn't even consider it. No, No, you didn't,

866
01:25:44.119 --> 01:25:45.239
and you could have. You certainly
had a write with me up for five

867
01:25:45.279 --> 01:25:50.520
years on a felony. I'm glad
you waited, Sarah. You won't regret

868
01:25:50.600 --> 01:25:54.399
it. I'm sure I won't,
George. But let's not talk about that

869
01:25:54.560 --> 01:25:57.239
now. We have a train to
make you know, Sarah or as good

870
01:25:57.239 --> 01:25:59.840
to look at as you were ten
years ago. Oh you're just making talk,

871
01:26:00.000 --> 01:26:01.640
George, and you haven't answered my
question. I want to know what

872
01:26:01.720 --> 01:26:04.560
went wrong. I'd given up hope, Sarah. I didn't expect to see

873
01:26:04.560 --> 01:26:08.600
you again, but I came back. I've done two stretches, Sarah,

874
01:26:08.720 --> 01:26:12.199
nine years in jail out of ten. I wouldn't have pulled another job if

875
01:26:12.199 --> 01:26:14.560
you hadn't shown up. You won't
go away again, will you? Only

876
01:26:14.640 --> 01:26:19.840
with you, George, Sarah.
Scent of your hair? Here's the dream

877
01:26:19.880 --> 01:26:26.600
of it. There was long nights
in jail. Now it's real, holding

878
01:26:26.680 --> 01:26:30.319
you like this with your hair in
my face, George, you're hurting me

879
01:26:31.079 --> 01:26:35.720
your arms. I'm sorry here,
just that I'm so afraid it isn't true

880
01:26:35.760 --> 01:26:38.760
having it again. I want to
hold you tight forever, George. What

881
01:26:38.880 --> 01:26:44.560
happened? What went wrong? Sarah? I had to kill him? My

882
01:26:44.560 --> 01:26:51.760
man, Well, haven't you got
anything? Say only the obvious? It's

883
01:26:51.880 --> 01:26:56.680
murder. Then I changed my plans, your plans, my plans for us.

884
01:26:56.760 --> 01:26:58.920
You're going to stick with me,
aren't you. Of course I didn't

885
01:26:58.920 --> 01:27:00.760
come back after ten years to run
right out again. And we must think

886
01:27:00.800 --> 01:27:04.359
this out carefully. Are you sure
you left no clue? Only the gun.

887
01:27:04.399 --> 01:27:06.600
I wiped it off clean and left
it there. It's a gun I

888
01:27:06.640 --> 01:27:11.119
picked up years ago, nowhere to
tack it on me fingerprints gloves. Then

889
01:27:11.159 --> 01:27:13.439
there's nothing to worry about. Only
if they happened to pick me up on

890
01:27:13.520 --> 01:27:15.399
suspicion. I see, are they
after you now, George? Of course

891
01:27:15.479 --> 01:27:18.279
not nobody heard the shot. There
was nobody in the building but that bald

892
01:27:18.319 --> 01:27:21.640
headed bookkeeper. He hadn't gone home, mus have stayed to get his books

893
01:27:21.640 --> 01:27:26.199
in shape for the morning. My
luck, and you weren't followed or chased.

894
01:27:26.359 --> 01:27:28.399
You don't think I'd have come here
if they were after me. I'm

895
01:27:28.479 --> 01:27:30.399
sorry, George, I know you
wouldn't You're not sort me. Then we

896
01:27:30.439 --> 01:27:33.399
can go ahead, just as we
plan. Our train leaves in an hour.

897
01:27:33.600 --> 01:27:39.359
Pick up the tickets at the station, Sarah. It's hard to believe.

898
01:27:39.399 --> 01:27:41.399
In an hour we'll be on the
way to Florida. You and I,

899
01:27:41.760 --> 01:27:45.520
Yes, just the two of us
in the warm sun. It's a

900
01:27:45.600 --> 01:27:49.079
dream I've had for ten years in
and out of jail. I figured it

901
01:27:49.119 --> 01:27:55.239
would always be a dream. You
know, it's funny. What's funny?

902
01:27:56.119 --> 01:28:00.479
There's a bald headed man lying dead
over there at the finance company. Finished.

903
01:28:00.640 --> 01:28:05.560
We're just beginning. I never killed
a man, Sarah, never before.

904
01:28:06.359 --> 01:28:09.800
You'll do all right? From now
on, George, you'll forget about

905
01:28:09.800 --> 01:28:13.680
that thing. I'll help you forget
it. Yeah, but we've got to

906
01:28:13.760 --> 01:28:15.760
hurry. Now. Put your hat
on and I'll go over and pick up

907
01:28:15.760 --> 01:28:18.159
the tickets. I thought we'd go
to the station together. Silly. I've

908
01:28:18.199 --> 01:28:21.079
got to dress. Yeah, the
sunset limit. It leaves at eight o'clock

909
01:28:21.319 --> 01:28:24.279
is only an hour. I know, I know. I'll dress and pack

910
01:28:24.359 --> 01:28:27.000
and meet you in thirty minutes at
the train gate. Have you any money

911
01:28:27.279 --> 01:28:29.439
here? Take some of this.
I'll put the rest in the police and

912
01:28:29.479 --> 01:28:32.039
bring it in a cab so it
won't be found on you if anything happens.

913
01:28:32.520 --> 01:28:36.039
Why didn't you come back before,
Sarah. I didn't realize it till

914
01:28:36.079 --> 01:28:44.159
this minute. Been like an orphan
for ten years. Kiss me. That's

915
01:28:44.199 --> 01:28:47.399
all, George. You've got to
hurry now. Remember the sunset limited at

916
01:28:47.399 --> 01:28:50.439
the gate. I'll remember, and
don't forget to clean out the desk.

917
01:28:50.520 --> 01:29:08.319
I'll take care of everything. George
A hurry, Hello, Leice Headquarters.

918
01:29:08.720 --> 01:29:12.000
A man was killed a few minutes
ago at the Vanda Finance Company on Dexter

919
01:29:12.079 --> 01:29:15.399
Avenue. Please don't interrupt. If
you go to the LaSalle station, you'll

920
01:29:15.439 --> 01:29:18.079
catch the murder at the Sunset Limited
train gate. His name is Monk,

921
01:29:18.439 --> 01:29:32.600
George Monk or Suspense. Roma Wines
are bringing you as star Miss Lucille Ball

922
01:29:32.840 --> 01:29:38.960
in a Shroud for Sarah by EMLC
Tepperman, Roma Winds presentation tonight in Radio's

923
01:29:39.000 --> 01:29:51.479
outstanding theater of Thrills Suspense between the
acts of Suspense. This is Truman Bradley

924
01:29:51.600 --> 01:29:58.840
for Roma Wines. Saturday is Navy
Day. On this day, All America

925
01:29:58.960 --> 01:30:01.479
gives honor to the rich, earning
veterans of the fleet. To these men,

926
01:30:02.159 --> 01:30:08.680
All America lifts its voice to say
well done. This weekend, too,

927
01:30:09.119 --> 01:30:13.720
millions of Americans will be entertaining family
and friends to them. Here's a

928
01:30:13.800 --> 01:30:18.479
hospitality word from famed hostess Elsa Maxwell. My guests compliment me when I make

929
01:30:18.560 --> 01:30:25.720
delicious Roma California sherry first call for
dinner. It's the perfect appetizer before the

930
01:30:25.800 --> 01:30:30.439
meal served. Cool. Yes,
Miss Maxwell. Roma sherry is most delightful

931
01:30:30.520 --> 01:30:34.680
later in the evening too, when
friends drop in, especially when served with

932
01:30:34.840 --> 01:30:42.079
tasty snacks for glorious golden amber.
Roma sherry is a happy, mellow wine

933
01:30:42.479 --> 01:30:48.479
with natural fragrance and cream rich nut
like taste. So good because Roma sherry,

934
01:30:48.720 --> 01:30:54.520
like all Roma wines, is born
of luscious grapes gathered at peak of

935
01:30:54.600 --> 01:31:01.319
flavor in California's choicest vineyards, gently
pressed then unheard, guided to delicious perfection

936
01:31:01.760 --> 01:31:08.680
by Roma's ancient wine making skill,
bottled at Roma's own famed wineries. That's

937
01:31:08.760 --> 01:31:15.720
why all Roma wines are true wines, unvaryingly good. Always remember, because

938
01:31:15.800 --> 01:31:21.960
of uniformly fine quality at reasonable cost, more Americans enjoy Roma than any other

939
01:31:23.079 --> 01:31:30.760
wine. Insist on Roma r M
A Roma wines and now Roma Wines bring

940
01:31:30.840 --> 01:31:35.720
back to our Hollywood sound stage.
Lucille Ball as Sarah Martel in a shroud

941
01:31:35.800 --> 01:31:50.239
for Sarah, a play well calculated
to keep you in suspense. Coming I'm

942
01:31:50.319 --> 01:31:59.439
coming. Oh, I knew it
was you, Sarah, Only you would

943
01:31:59.479 --> 01:32:02.640
ring so andsistantly when you know I'm
handicapped by this infernal crutch. Good evening,

944
01:32:02.720 --> 01:32:06.760
Peter, how's our next governor?
Aren't you going to kiss me.

945
01:32:08.399 --> 01:32:12.159
I've been away three days. Is
it necessary, my dear, Peter,

946
01:32:13.199 --> 01:32:15.159
Are you're gonna let the neighbor see
me standing out here with this police kiss

947
01:32:15.199 --> 01:32:18.920
me? You idiot? You can
stand it if I can, very well

948
01:32:21.000 --> 01:32:25.720
satisfied, my dear. Now that
we've performed for the neighbors, shall we

949
01:32:25.920 --> 01:32:31.079
go in? I said, he's
on the World of appears, is dropping

950
01:32:31.119 --> 01:32:35.520
out a gap with a new wave
of See you've moved the radio again.

951
01:32:35.960 --> 01:32:40.319
I moved it near the easy chair. This crutch makes it hard for me

952
01:32:40.399 --> 01:32:43.479
to get around. I hope you
don't mind, my dear. I mean

953
01:32:43.520 --> 01:32:45.520
it's being more convenient for me.
Is that the news I want to hear?

954
01:32:45.560 --> 01:32:48.479
It? Are seeking George Monk,
an ex convict who shot and killed

955
01:32:48.479 --> 01:32:53.199
the finance company bookkeeper and escape with
seventeen thousand dollars in cash. What do

956
01:32:53.199 --> 01:32:59.079
you want to turn that up?
Without wanting But there's a mystery angle here

957
01:32:59.119 --> 01:33:01.720
which that's this case oft from the
ordinary hold up. Police are seeking an

958
01:33:01.800 --> 01:33:05.319
unidentified woman who tipped them off a
few minutes after the murder, naming George

959
01:33:05.399 --> 01:33:10.319
Monk and telling him just where he
could be picked up. Unfortunately, one

960
01:33:10.359 --> 01:33:13.560
of the officers sent to apprehend the
murder was recognized by Monk, who made

961
01:33:13.560 --> 01:33:15.960
his escape in the crowded railroad station. What's the matter, my dear,

962
01:33:16.399 --> 01:33:20.000
why did you turn the radio off? Look as if you'd seen a ghost.

963
01:33:20.520 --> 01:33:25.239
Leave me alone, Peter? Well, well, what sort of villainy

964
01:33:25.279 --> 01:33:29.279
were you up to in Chicago?
Sarah? Come back here? Where are

965
01:33:29.319 --> 01:33:30.800
you going? I'm going up to
my room. I want to one pack.

966
01:33:31.760 --> 01:33:36.439
Good night, Peter Briglary in Chicago, mysterious woman who tipped off the

967
01:33:36.520 --> 01:33:42.159
police. There's the moment Sarah I
said, good night, Peter. Seventeen

968
01:33:42.399 --> 01:33:46.279
thousand dollars Sarah, I want to
know what's in that valise? Why are

969
01:33:46.319 --> 01:33:48.760
you hanging on to it like that? Stay where you are, Peter,

970
01:33:48.840 --> 01:33:54.079
don't come up he stairs. What's
wrong? Are you afraid to let me

971
01:33:54.159 --> 01:33:56.760
see what's in that valise? Oh? No, I'm not afraid. Just

972
01:33:56.800 --> 01:34:00.159
don't come up any closer. Hell, well, that same little pistol of

973
01:34:00.239 --> 01:34:03.079
yours? Would you shoot me with
it again? My dear? If you

974
01:34:03.199 --> 01:34:05.920
come a step further, drop the
gun. You're not going to shoot me

975
01:34:06.000 --> 01:34:09.760
now? Just before election? You
want to be the governor's lady, don't

976
01:34:09.800 --> 01:34:13.039
you stand still? Peter, I'm
sorry, Sarah, I've got to know

977
01:34:13.199 --> 01:34:15.760
what's in there. Take another step, I'll shoot. You're a fool,

978
01:34:15.920 --> 01:34:19.399
Sarah. Clever and ruthless, yes, but nevertheless a fool. Look at

979
01:34:19.439 --> 01:34:24.800
all the terrible things you've done to
satisfy your ambition, even murder now,

980
01:34:25.399 --> 01:34:28.920
and it's all been a waste of
time. What do you mean did you

981
01:34:29.039 --> 01:34:32.399
know that the results of the popular
poll were published today? Well it gives

982
01:34:32.439 --> 01:34:36.520
Steven Archer a fifteen percent edge over
me, and not only that, but

983
01:34:36.640 --> 01:34:40.399
the incumbent governor, the man we're
both trying to beat, ran ahead of

984
01:34:40.439 --> 01:34:43.680
the two of us in the pole. You're not lying about that, of

985
01:34:43.840 --> 01:34:46.239
course, not, my dear.
How did you expect to beat Steven Archer

986
01:34:46.279 --> 01:34:50.079
and his money? We're broke,
No, Peter, we're not broke.

987
01:34:50.640 --> 01:34:56.039
Oh you mean you have seventeen thousand
dollars in that bag. I'm going to

988
01:34:56.039 --> 01:34:58.239
be the governor's wife. I tell
you there's nothing that could stop me.

989
01:34:58.359 --> 01:35:00.000
Nothing, I believe you, Sarah. Why leave? You would even murder

990
01:35:00.199 --> 01:35:04.119
Archer if you had to let me
have that police You can't seem to understand,

991
01:35:04.239 --> 01:35:06.960
Peter. You're not going to open
it? Then shoot me? My

992
01:35:08.079 --> 01:35:10.479
dear, you do it so well, it comes so natural to you.

993
01:35:10.800 --> 01:35:13.399
Maybe you can shoot me in the
other leg this time. Will you never

994
01:35:13.479 --> 01:35:15.039
stop throwing it up to me?
That was an accident, A very fortunate

995
01:35:15.119 --> 01:35:17.840
accident, wasn't it, Sarah?
Just when I was ready to accept a

996
01:35:17.840 --> 01:35:20.880
commission in the army. You didn't
want to be the wife of an army

997
01:35:20.960 --> 01:35:24.960
captain. Your ambition ran higher than
that. You wanted to be the governor's

998
01:35:25.039 --> 01:35:28.880
lady. Now, Sarah, I'm
going to see what you have. You're

999
01:35:28.920 --> 01:35:30.119
not going to do anything about it. Get away from me, Peter,

1000
01:35:30.239 --> 01:35:34.119
No, Sarah, you're going to
give them to me. First, the

1001
01:35:34.239 --> 01:35:47.680
gun and now that like Sarah,
Sarah, don't Sarah, Oh Sarah,

1002
01:35:59.039 --> 01:36:01.520
please go straight in the bedroom.
Doctor Peter fell again and hurt his leg

1003
01:36:01.600 --> 01:36:04.239
in the same place. Now look
here, missus Martel. What's the use

1004
01:36:04.279 --> 01:36:08.600
of keeping up this deception between ourselves. You know, and I know that

1005
01:36:08.720 --> 01:36:11.960
your husband didn't fall the last time. That was a bullet wound in his

1006
01:36:12.079 --> 01:36:15.680
leg. Doctor Varney, you promised
never to mention that bullet wound, and

1007
01:36:15.800 --> 01:36:18.199
you promised to pay me. Remember
ten thousand dollars. Where's the money?

1008
01:36:18.479 --> 01:36:24.199
Don't worry I have it. That's
different. Where is it? I'll take

1009
01:36:24.199 --> 01:36:27.439
it now later. Please go in
now and take care of Peter. Did

1010
01:36:27.520 --> 01:36:30.359
you did you shoot him again?
Of course not. That was an accident

1011
01:36:30.399 --> 01:36:33.079
the last time I was examining the
pistol and it went off. Yes,

1012
01:36:33.199 --> 01:36:36.560
of course that's the story, Missus
Martel. And for ten thousand dollars,

1013
01:36:36.600 --> 01:36:40.680
I'll gladly subscribe to it. But
I must have that money I needed.

1014
01:36:40.840 --> 01:36:43.680
I won't touch that leg till I
get the money. All right, I

1015
01:36:43.800 --> 01:36:48.359
have it here there. That's ten
thousand dollars. Now, hurry in there

1016
01:36:48.399 --> 01:36:51.399
and take care of Peter. Afterwards, I'll want to see you in here.

1017
01:36:51.720 --> 01:36:55.000
There may be another matter that I'll
want you to handle for me.

1018
01:36:55.520 --> 01:37:00.000
It's ten thousand another matter. You
are also the physician for Steven Archie,

1019
01:37:00.199 --> 01:37:03.319
aren't you. Yes, you've been
attending him every day during the campaign.

1020
01:37:04.000 --> 01:37:09.520
I understand his heart needs attention here, Missus Martel. Steven Archer is running

1021
01:37:09.520 --> 01:37:13.720
against your husband for governor. I
wonder when you originally called me in,

1022
01:37:13.840 --> 01:37:17.319
did you know I was Archer's physician? Could be well, I'm sorry,

1023
01:37:17.359 --> 01:37:20.680
I can't discuss Archer with you.
Why not? Why not? Why the

1024
01:37:20.760 --> 01:37:26.159
ethics of my profession, the ethics
of your profession. Please, doctor Vonnie.

1025
01:37:26.640 --> 01:37:29.439
If your fellow practitioners knew what I
know about you, you wouldn't have

1026
01:37:29.560 --> 01:37:31.720
any profession. I won't listen to
any more from you. I'll take care

1027
01:37:31.760 --> 01:37:34.439
of that leg of your husband's.
But more than that, Norbert, I'm

1028
01:37:34.479 --> 01:37:38.680
sure you'll change your mind. Doctor. Your proposition is the answers No.

1029
01:37:38.840 --> 01:37:44.680
Even if I were to offer fifty
thousand dollars ew fifty there now I knew

1030
01:37:44.680 --> 01:37:46.960
you'd be interested. Now run inside
like a nice fellow and tend to Peter.

1031
01:37:47.479 --> 01:37:49.640
I must go out for a few
minutes. But please wait for me,

1032
01:37:50.039 --> 01:38:04.079
as an appointment I must keep.
I won't be long, Missus Martell.

1033
01:38:04.439 --> 01:38:10.279
Yes, right here, good evening, Missus Martel. Park is rather

1034
01:38:10.319 --> 01:38:12.800
a dark place to meet, isn't
it. I thought it would be best

1035
01:38:12.880 --> 01:38:16.239
this way, especially if you're going
to discuss the things you hinted at over

1036
01:38:16.279 --> 01:38:19.239
the foe, mist Archer. Let's
come to the point quickly. Do you

1037
01:38:19.439 --> 01:38:24.239
want to win the election? Frankly, yes, very much. Would it

1038
01:38:24.319 --> 01:38:28.880
be worth money to you? A
great deal of money? First? What

1039
01:38:29.039 --> 01:38:32.159
is your proposition? You're a wealthy
man. Would one hundred thousand dollars be

1040
01:38:32.239 --> 01:38:35.920
too much to pay for the governorship. One hundred thousand. I've spent several

1041
01:38:35.960 --> 01:38:40.199
times that much on the campaign already, But I don't see how you could

1042
01:38:40.239 --> 01:38:43.880
deliver the election. Listen to me
closely, mister archer. Eh, I

1043
01:38:44.079 --> 01:38:47.399
learned that in yesterday's poll figures you
ran fifteen percent ahead of my husband.

1044
01:38:47.520 --> 01:38:50.960
That's quite true, and neither you
or Peter will win. You're both taking

1045
01:38:51.000 --> 01:38:55.079
strength from each other, and the
governor will be re elected. So your

1046
01:38:55.159 --> 01:38:59.359
solution is for Peter Martel to withdraw
at the price of one hundred thousand dollars

1047
01:38:59.479 --> 01:39:01.359
exactly. If one of you withdraws, the other will surely win. That's

1048
01:39:01.399 --> 01:39:05.239
absolutely true. But I happen to
know that Peter Martel would never make such

1049
01:39:05.239 --> 01:39:10.159
a deal. No, he wouldn't, the fool. But for a hundred

1050
01:39:10.199 --> 01:39:13.840
thousand dollars, I will put him
out of the race. You would you

1051
01:39:13.920 --> 01:39:17.479
believe it if I told you I
hated that man's very shadow. I have

1052
01:39:17.680 --> 01:39:20.560
heard rumor I want to leave him. I want to be rid of him

1053
01:39:20.560 --> 01:39:24.880
forever. Where could I go without
money? What could I do? He's

1054
01:39:24.920 --> 01:39:29.479
so disgustingly honest that were always broke
he couldn't even pay me enough alimony.

1055
01:39:29.960 --> 01:39:31.880
I've got to think for myself.
I begin to see. I suppose it

1056
01:39:31.920 --> 01:39:35.039
tomorrow, two days before the election, I were to file suit for divorce.

1057
01:39:35.479 --> 01:39:39.239
Ah, I could leave for Reno
to night. It would be in

1058
01:39:39.279 --> 01:39:43.600
every newspaper tomorrow. Mm hmm.
Would certainly elimin at your husband. You'd

1059
01:39:43.640 --> 01:39:46.319
pick up all the votes Peter would
lose enough to swing the election. And

1060
01:39:46.520 --> 01:39:50.399
your price is a hundred thousand dollars. You agree, and be a fool

1061
01:39:50.479 --> 01:39:54.800
not to. Of course I agree. The moment you file your divorce papers

1062
01:39:54.840 --> 01:39:57.479
in Reno, I'll have a hundred
thousand dollars credit to de your account wherever

1063
01:39:57.520 --> 01:40:00.680
you specify. No, I must
have it in advance. Dear missus,

1064
01:40:00.720 --> 01:40:03.199
Martinell's out of the question. How
do I know you'll go through that after

1065
01:40:03.239 --> 01:40:05.680
I pay you? How do I
know you'll pay me after I go through

1066
01:40:05.760 --> 01:40:09.760
with it? Don't you trust me? Do I have to answer that?

1067
01:40:11.960 --> 01:40:14.319
It looks like a death. Now, I'll tell you what I'll do.

1068
01:40:14.479 --> 01:40:16.479
I'll take half now and the other
half in Reno after I've filed the papers

1069
01:40:16.720 --> 01:40:20.159
fifty tonight. It must be tonight. I'll leave in the midnight plane.

1070
01:40:20.680 --> 01:40:24.600
Surely you have the cash available in
a campaign like this. Yes, of

1071
01:40:24.680 --> 01:40:28.880
course I have the cash. It
seems to be the only solution. It's

1072
01:40:28.920 --> 01:40:30.920
a deal, missus Martel. You'll
get the money now at once. Wait

1073
01:40:30.960 --> 01:40:33.239
here, my home is just across
the park. I'll be back in five

1074
01:40:33.319 --> 01:40:38.920
minutes. But just as a precaution, I'm going to note down the serial

1075
01:40:39.039 --> 01:40:42.159
numbers of the bills I give you. If you want in Reno. Tomorrow

1076
01:40:42.199 --> 01:40:45.560
morning, I shall report the money's
store. Don't worry, mister Archer,

1077
01:40:45.600 --> 01:41:00.319
I promise you after tonight there won't
be anything to worry about. Still waiting

1078
01:41:00.399 --> 01:41:03.600
for me, I see doctor Varney. Well, it took a long time.

1079
01:41:03.680 --> 01:41:06.319
I was just deciding to leave.
You took care of Peter all right.

1080
01:41:06.560 --> 01:41:10.000
Yes, the wound open up again. It's painful, not as bad

1081
01:41:10.039 --> 01:41:12.640
as it looks. He'll be up
again by tomorrow. Thank you. Doctor.

1082
01:41:13.039 --> 01:41:16.159
Oh you said you wanted to talk
to me. Yes, I have

1083
01:41:16.239 --> 01:41:23.239
a little proposition for you. You
mentioned fifty thousand dollars. Yes, and

1084
01:41:23.359 --> 01:41:28.800
so I have the money in my
handbag. Here one take it. I'll

1085
01:41:28.840 --> 01:41:34.920
count it. M yes, yes, and what do you want me to

1086
01:41:35.000 --> 01:41:41.439
do? Doctor? Have you ever
murdered anyone. What I said, have

1087
01:41:41.560 --> 01:41:45.720
you ever murdered anyone? Are joking? You'd hardly call murder a joke.

1088
01:41:45.439 --> 01:41:49.920
What are you suggesting? You are
Stephen Archer's physician. You stop at his

1089
01:41:50.000 --> 01:41:54.520
home every night and check his heart
and you get him a sedatives. No,

1090
01:41:54.760 --> 01:41:56.920
no, I'm going out of this
house, Missus Martell, and I'm

1091
01:41:56.960 --> 01:41:59.880
never coming back. Before you go, doctor, I'll take that money back.

1092
01:42:00.920 --> 01:42:03.960
Why fifty thousand dollars doctor, it's
a lot of money, Yes,

1093
01:42:04.079 --> 01:42:09.039
sir, I know just how deep
you are in the red. Fifty thousand

1094
01:42:09.199 --> 01:42:13.199
put you on your feet again.
Well it's and you'll have the friendship of

1095
01:42:13.239 --> 01:42:18.199
the wife of the next governor.
You want me to give out you an

1096
01:42:18.199 --> 01:42:41.640
overdose of sedative? I knew you'd
be reasonable, Barnie. Good morning,

1097
01:42:41.760 --> 01:42:45.760
my dear. I see you're at
the radio already, aren't you up early

1098
01:42:45.840 --> 01:42:49.520
today? I thought all the Borgers
slept late. I wanted to hear the

1099
01:42:49.640 --> 01:42:54.680
news. Indeed, will it be
a person by the name of George Monk

1100
01:42:54.760 --> 01:42:57.319
that you're so anxious to hear about? What do you mean why do you

1101
01:42:57.399 --> 01:43:00.119
mention that name? The black volise? My dear? Remember, I'm still

1102
01:43:00.239 --> 01:43:05.760
anxious to know if it contained seventeen
thousand dollars injured. Have you taken the

1103
01:43:05.800 --> 01:43:11.039
newspaper in yet? No, I'll
get it. There will be something in

1104
01:43:11.119 --> 01:43:14.600
this morning's paper that i'd like you
to see. My dear Steven Archer,

1105
01:43:14.840 --> 01:43:16.760
candidate in the three cornered race for
governor, was found dead in his bed,

1106
01:43:17.000 --> 01:43:23.000
apparently from an overdose subsidative. All
indications point to accidental death, except

1107
01:43:23.079 --> 01:43:25.640
for the fact that a large sum
of money was messing from the safe.

1108
01:43:26.279 --> 01:43:28.640
However, if the money was stolen, it'll do the thief no good.

1109
01:43:28.800 --> 01:43:31.159
For the serial numbers were carefully noted
down on the desk pad on mister Archer's

1110
01:43:31.199 --> 01:43:40.000
desk. What was that Archer dead? Yes, Sarah, I read the

1111
01:43:40.079 --> 01:43:44.439
signs of your fine Italian hand.
Did you have a hand in it?

1112
01:43:44.960 --> 01:43:48.880
Peter? So now Archer's votes will
drop in my lap. You'll be governor.

1113
01:43:48.920 --> 01:43:51.960
Peter, Sarah, I think I'm
going to kill you? Cuts down.

1114
01:43:53.479 --> 01:43:55.520
No, no, my dear,
you needn't run away. I was

1115
01:43:55.800 --> 01:44:00.359
just rehearsing. I'm not ready to
kill you yet. Perhaps some one else

1116
01:44:00.399 --> 01:44:03.800
will do it first. I'm going
to wait for the result of my experiment.

1117
01:44:04.439 --> 01:44:09.560
Experiment what do you mean see here? What? What is it?

1118
01:44:09.600 --> 01:44:14.239
Peter? Just an ad in the
personal column. I had it inserted in

1119
01:44:14.359 --> 01:44:17.079
every newspaper between here in Chicago.
Let me see that. It's the first

1120
01:44:17.119 --> 01:44:20.239
ad in the column with displace base
around it. I wanted to make sure

1121
01:44:20.279 --> 01:44:24.359
it was seen by the right person. Read it, Sarah, read it

1122
01:44:25.199 --> 01:44:29.199
all right? If it makes you
happy, I will read it. George.

1123
01:44:30.439 --> 01:44:35.359
Was her name, Sarah or did
she use another name? I mean

1124
01:44:35.439 --> 01:44:41.600
the one who left with a little
black belie and all the money in it.

1125
01:44:42.079 --> 01:44:45.880
If you have at least seventeen thousand
reasons to find her, and if

1126
01:44:45.920 --> 01:44:53.199
the traveling isn't too difficult under the
circumstances, I suggest you come to Capital

1127
01:44:53.399 --> 01:44:57.640
City. The address is Peter.
You didn't, ah, isn't it cleverly

1128
01:44:57.680 --> 01:45:00.880
worded, my dear? I had
to phrase it so that George Monk and

1129
01:45:00.960 --> 01:45:02.520
no one else would catch its meaning
you. You put this ad in all

1130
01:45:02.560 --> 01:45:06.359
the papers exactly you see, my
dear. If that little black police did

1131
01:45:06.439 --> 01:45:11.479
not contain seventeen thousand dollars, you
have nothing to fear. But if it

1132
01:45:11.560 --> 01:45:14.920
did, well, then I may
be spared the chore of killing you.

1133
01:45:15.800 --> 01:45:30.680
I'll let George do it. Hello, missus Martel. Who is this?

1134
01:45:31.039 --> 01:45:35.520
Doctor Varney? Oh? Do you
think it was? I thought? Never

1135
01:45:35.560 --> 01:45:39.800
mind? What do you want?
Varney? Don't you know? I think

1136
01:45:39.840 --> 01:45:42.960
you're pretty clever, don't you What
do you mean? That was Archer's own

1137
01:45:43.000 --> 01:45:45.800
money you gave me last night?
That fifty thous Varnie? Are you insane?

1138
01:45:45.119 --> 01:45:47.960
Don't you realize you're talking over an
open phone. I only realize I

1139
01:45:48.079 --> 01:45:51.039
murdered Archer for you for nothing?
At thirty thousand, I can't use the

1140
01:45:51.119 --> 01:45:55.720
serial numbers have been broadcast. My
dear Varney, I haven't the faintest notion

1141
01:45:55.920 --> 01:45:59.399
what you're talking about. How clever
you are, Sarah Martel? How clever

1142
01:46:00.119 --> 01:46:16.800
and how dangerous? As too dangerous
to live? Medic Simons all through with

1143
01:46:16.880 --> 01:46:19.199
the body, Inspector, right,
O'Connor, all right, and I guess

1144
01:46:19.199 --> 01:46:23.680
we're for lease two. Tell Mike
to be careful with the body and put

1145
01:46:23.760 --> 01:46:28.520
down a new report. They'd don
arrival murdered by personal person's unknown. I'll

1146
01:46:28.520 --> 01:46:32.359
sign it when I get downtown.
She was a beautiful woman, O'Connor.

1147
01:46:33.000 --> 01:46:36.000
It's a tough way to die,
a tough way, indeed, Inspector,

1148
01:46:36.920 --> 01:46:40.640
how's mister Martel? Taking like a
trooper. So here he comes now with

1149
01:46:40.720 --> 01:46:43.800
his doctor. All right, O'Connor, I'll see you downtown, yes,

1150
01:46:43.840 --> 01:46:46.960
sir, good bye, Inspector,
are you yes, mister Martell, The

1151
01:46:47.000 --> 01:46:50.680
boys are taking the body away now. May I say, mister Martel,

1152
01:46:50.760 --> 01:46:54.640
that you have my deeper sympathy in
this beament of yours. Thank you.

1153
01:46:54.760 --> 01:46:57.560
Inspector. By the way, do
you know, doctor Varney, how do

1154
01:46:57.600 --> 01:47:00.319
you do that? You do a
ghastly business, Inspector. Yes, indeed,

1155
01:47:00.359 --> 01:47:02.039
we'll do everything in our power to
lay that murderer by the heels?

1156
01:47:02.920 --> 01:47:09.920
Inspector is doctor Vannie? Have you
any clues anything definite? To go on?

1157
01:47:10.319 --> 01:47:13.560
Well, if you don't mind my
talking about it now, mister Montell,

1158
01:47:13.640 --> 01:47:15.880
Oh it's all right, inspect Her. I'm afraid I'm going to have

1159
01:47:15.960 --> 01:47:17.720
to listen to a good deal of
talking about it right as well. Get

1160
01:47:17.800 --> 01:47:20.039
used to it. A very wise
and courageous way to look at, mister

1161
01:47:20.079 --> 01:47:23.960
Montell. Whereas I was saying,
I believe it was a maniac. That's

1162
01:47:24.000 --> 01:47:27.840
my firm conviction. A maniac,
right, Who but a maniac would have

1163
01:47:27.880 --> 01:47:30.640
stayed in there to torment that poor
dead body? Can you imagine a sane

1164
01:47:30.680 --> 01:47:34.039
man first choking her to death with
his hands, then stabbing her with some

1165
01:47:34.199 --> 01:47:50.600
keen instrument, then bashing her head
in with a blunt instrument. Ronald Varney,

1166
01:47:50.720 --> 01:47:57.600
that was quite an ordeal. It
was terrible, Varnie. Yes,

1167
01:47:58.479 --> 01:48:01.000
you hated her very much, didn't
you, Oh more than you did,

1168
01:48:01.079 --> 01:48:05.600
mister Martell. I won't deny it. It's true. You haven't been using

1169
01:48:05.680 --> 01:48:10.520
your crutch this morning. No,
what made you think of the crutch?

1170
01:48:10.720 --> 01:48:14.399
Oh? Nothing, blunt instrument?
Huh, that's all right, Varnie.

1171
01:48:14.399 --> 01:48:16.319
I don't mind you're asking. I
was thinking along the same lines myself,

1172
01:48:16.399 --> 01:48:19.239
only it was the keen instrument I
had in mind. Say a scalpel and

1173
01:48:19.319 --> 01:48:26.039
I'll look exkip it, Barnie.
I was just making conversation. There's something

1174
01:48:26.079 --> 01:48:30.720
I don't understand, yes, Varnie, I yes, well, nothing,

1175
01:48:30.760 --> 01:48:32.960
nothing at all. I know what
you want to ask. You want to

1176
01:48:33.039 --> 01:48:39.000
know who was the third man.
I'll show you, Varnie. Where are

1177
01:48:39.039 --> 01:48:45.720
my keys? Yeah? You've got
in that closet a guest, Varnie,

1178
01:48:45.039 --> 01:48:51.600
Shall I say, an invited guest? You can come out now, George,

1179
01:48:51.680 --> 01:48:56.520
the coast is clear. Dutch meant
to bury me alive in there.

1180
01:48:56.680 --> 01:49:00.640
Tell who's this man, Doctor Varney, George Monk, shake hands, gentlemen.

1181
01:49:01.000 --> 01:49:05.680
No, very well, I thought
it would be right for all three

1182
01:49:05.720 --> 01:49:09.439
of us to be together for a
moment. You're talking about, Martel.

1183
01:49:09.600 --> 01:49:12.920
Listen carefully, Barnie, and you
George. Each one of us was in

1184
01:49:13.000 --> 01:49:16.479
her room last night. A cumulative
effect of our individual deeds is convinced the

1185
01:49:16.560 --> 01:49:21.399
inspector that a maniac murdered my wife. But we three know better. However,

1186
01:49:21.560 --> 01:49:25.760
there is one of us who knows
more than the other two. One

1187
01:49:25.800 --> 01:49:29.359
of us killed her first. I
say first, because the other two were

1188
01:49:29.399 --> 01:49:31.159
not one whit less murderers, for
the fact that she was already dead.

1189
01:49:31.319 --> 01:49:34.199
Three of us, we all did
it, Yes, George, and I

1190
01:49:34.279 --> 01:49:38.479
suppose that by checking each other and
comparing notes, we could determine, to

1191
01:49:38.560 --> 01:49:42.960
the satisfaction of all of us just
who took proceedings. For instance, when

1192
01:49:43.000 --> 01:49:45.600
I heard you move about in the
closet this morning and turn the key on

1193
01:49:45.720 --> 01:49:47.720
you, I had no way of
telling how long you'd been in the house,

1194
01:49:48.239 --> 01:49:53.720
and I don't want to know.
Then two of us will always be

1195
01:49:53.840 --> 01:49:59.399
in down exactly. Barne, do
you agree to it, yes? And

1196
01:49:59.560 --> 01:50:24.159
you Joe, yes? Then goodbye? Gentlemen, Roma Wines have brought you

1197
01:50:24.319 --> 01:50:29.680
the seal ball a star of a
shroud for Sarah Tonight's study in Suspense.

1198
01:50:30.399 --> 01:50:36.119
This is Truman Bradley for Roma Wines, the sponsor of Suspense. When unexpected

1199
01:50:36.159 --> 01:50:41.880
guests make a meal time call,
well, anything can happen. Famed hostess

1200
01:50:42.000 --> 01:50:46.239
Elsa Maxwell makes this timely suggestion.
Invite them to stay for pot luck and

1201
01:50:46.359 --> 01:50:51.520
make the dinner exciting by serving Roma
California Burgundy. For no matter what the

1202
01:50:51.600 --> 01:50:58.199
dish, the fruity, fragrance and
piquant taste of robust red Roma Burgundy makes

1203
01:50:58.239 --> 01:51:02.760
the food so much more enjoyable,
adds friendliness to the table. Talk that's

1204
01:51:02.880 --> 01:51:10.399
right. Glassfuls of good Roma Burgundy
served cool makes any simple meal more exciting,

1205
01:51:10.680 --> 01:51:15.079
more delicious. But don't wait for
unexpected guests. Try Roma Burgundy with

1206
01:51:15.199 --> 01:51:21.680
dinner tomorrow. You'll enjoy this Ventnor's
masterpiece. Like all Roma wines, this

1207
01:51:21.960 --> 01:51:28.399
is wine at its best in uniform
quality, yet costs only pennies a glass.

1208
01:51:29.119 --> 01:51:33.760
Always insist on Roma Wines. No
other wine offers you so much for

1209
01:51:34.000 --> 01:51:40.720
so little. Next Thursday, you
will hear Ronald Coleman in Suspense Radio's outstanding

m A made in California, or Enjoyment

1211
01:51:49.079 --> 01:51:57.560
throughout the world. All right,
my dear, well, I suppose the

1212
01:51:57.640 --> 01:52:01.760
fires did last long enough. We
didn't enough listening in the dark. But

1213
01:52:02.880 --> 01:52:06.960
maybe next time. But now,
my dear, it's about time for you

1214
01:52:08.039 --> 01:52:11.680
to get home and get ready for
your holiday. Cheer as it was?

1215
01:52:12.319 --> 01:52:15.479
Or what was that? Oh no, no, no eggnogy I stick to

1216
01:52:15.640 --> 01:52:24.840
teeth. Tea is in a lot
like like it's war in company, but

1217
01:52:24.960 --> 01:52:30.159
you don't really know where it comes
from. All right, my dear,

1218
01:52:30.439 --> 01:52:32.119
Now it's about time for you to
head home, as the sun will be

1219
01:52:32.279 --> 01:52:38.159
rising soon. But as you make
your way homeway, as you lay your

1220
01:52:38.239 --> 01:52:44.239
head on that soft, warm pillow, do me one small kindness before you

1221
01:52:44.399 --> 01:52:49.359
drift on, be thankful for what
you have. I'll see you next time.

1222
01:53:00.039 --> 01:53:11.800
Comma Ramma comma the wrong, bring
