Unknown Broadcast | Tales of the Macabre: 4 Horror Stories of Madness, Mystery, and Poe

Unknown Broadcast | Tales of the Macabre: 4 Horror Stories of Madness, Mystery, and Poe

Ah, my dear, tonight we stray from logic.From science. From certainty.These stories come from the edge—where the human mind tries to make sense of shadows… and fails.

I’ve brought you four tales for those who’ve ever doubted what they saw—or feared that what they saw was real.

🔹 Beyond Reason
A brilliant man fixates on a rival—until his obsession twists into something lethal.But can the mind kill with thought alone?

🔹 The Derelict
A ship adrift in the sea. No crew. No logs. No sign of struggle.Just silence—and something waiting in the hold.

🔹 Portrait of the Past
A forgotten painting, an ancestral curse, and a face that keeps changing.Some artwork refuses to stay still.

🔹 The Oblong Box (by Edgar Allan Poe)
Why is one passenger bringing a coffin aboard a steamer?And what’s really inside the box that no one’s allowed to open?

So press play, my dear, and leave your logic at the door.

Because tonight, nothing makes sense—and everything is true.

1
00:00:09.359 --> 00:00:14.119
Ah, welcome back, my dear, So happy you could join

2
00:00:14.240 --> 00:00:19.280
me on this summer evening. I know things have been

3
00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:25.280
hot out there, but don't you worry. There's always something

4
00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:31.160
chilly behind these three feet walls. H what's that?

5
00:00:31.600 --> 00:00:32.079
Oh?

6
00:00:32.280 --> 00:00:36.359
No, no, no, don't you worry about that. They couldn't

7
00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:43.240
get in even if they tried. Do you ever sit quietly,

8
00:00:43.880 --> 00:00:46.679
even if your day is full of hustle and bustles,

9
00:00:47.359 --> 00:00:51.600
and just wonder what things are out there? I know

10
00:00:51.679 --> 00:00:55.560
I'm being vague, but it may be better that way.

11
00:00:56.759 --> 00:01:01.520
Sometimes I worry about what else out there in the

12
00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:06.200
dark is exactly Beyond Reasons?

13
00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:28.920
Suspense Radio's outstanding Peter A. Frills brings you an hour

14
00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:33.920
a full sixty minutes of suspense tonight, starring mister Robert

15
00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:36.519
Bryan and Miss Ruth Warwick in a play by Debry

16
00:01:36.599 --> 00:01:42.439
Freeman entitled Beyond Reason, edited and directed by Anton M. Leader,

17
00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:48.799
and produced by Robert Montgomery.

18
00:01:50.200 --> 00:01:53.920
This is Robert Montgomery. For well over a year, on

19
00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:57.200
the average of five times a week, my newsboy and

20
00:01:57.239 --> 00:02:01.200
I have engaged in the same spirited conversation. Each evening

21
00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:04.920
I greet him with anything in the papers, and each

22
00:02:04.959 --> 00:02:06.040
evening he answers with.

23
00:02:06.359 --> 00:02:07.680
No same old stuff.

24
00:02:08.599 --> 00:02:10.960
Then I spend part of the evening reading the chronicle

25
00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:11.800
of the day's.

26
00:02:11.560 --> 00:02:14.120
Events, the same old stuff, and.

27
00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:16.439
I learned that the tensions in the world are greater

28
00:02:16.599 --> 00:02:19.639
or lesser, that some people want high taxes and some

29
00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:23.360
people want low. But some people are born, and some

30
00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:27.120
are married, and some are divorced, and some are dead,

31
00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:31.280
same old stuff. Yesterday a man walked out into his

32
00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:33.680
front under his front porch, lost his balance on the

33
00:02:33.719 --> 00:02:37.120
top step, and one minute later he was dead. An

34
00:02:37.159 --> 00:02:40.039
hour ago, a wife in Fort Wayne, Indiana went to

35
00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:44.800
the hospital. Ten minutes ago she became a mother. One

36
00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:49.199
cycle of life completed, another just beginning, and the newspaper

37
00:02:49.199 --> 00:02:53.759
will report them both clearly, accurately and without editorial comment.

38
00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:56.919
We can assume that in each of these homes, the

39
00:02:56.960 --> 00:02:58.560
old patterns of living.

40
00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:00.840
Are broken and new ones.

41
00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:01.680
In our information.

42
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:04.879
But we can't know what happens next in the history

43
00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:08.919
of these two families. And these are very real stories

44
00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:13.759
that begin with birth or death. We have one for

45
00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:18.360
you today, a story entitled Beyond Reason, and it began

46
00:03:18.439 --> 00:03:22.520
this way at exactly seven twenty two on the night

47
00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:26.520
of January fifth, Pinkton car reached the corner of Post

48
00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:29.319
and Stockton Streets in downtown San Francisco.

49
00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:33.159
He was feeling fine. He stopped for a moment.

50
00:03:33.039 --> 00:03:36.120
To look at an attractive window display, and then, still

51
00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:38.120
looking back, he stepped off.

52
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:46.960
The Oh no, gentle, look.

53
00:03:48.280 --> 00:03:51.199
Colin ambulance. Somebody call an ambulance. This guy's hurt bad.

54
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:54.639
I saw it happen. He just stepped off the.

55
00:03:56.680 --> 00:03:57.520
Cal an ambulance.

56
00:03:57.599 --> 00:03:58.599
Who isy do you know?

57
00:03:58.759 --> 00:03:59.240
Who isy?

58
00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:00.879
Oh?

59
00:04:01.039 --> 00:04:02.120
The poor man.

60
00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:10.919
Next day, the newspapers put it briefly and concisely, and

61
00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:16.120
a small headline on page four business man hit businessman

62
00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:20.079
hit run victim. You probably read it not very interesting

63
00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:23.120
unless you knew him. The police were working on the case.

64
00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:26.319
Maybe one day soon they'd tracked down the car. Maybe

65
00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:29.439
it looked like just another one of those things soon

66
00:04:29.519 --> 00:04:33.319
forgotten over and done with. But a tragedy like that

67
00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:36.040
can be a beginning as well as an end. It

68
00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:39.360
can start a whole chain of events, generate a whole

69
00:04:39.480 --> 00:04:43.800
series of reactions. It can become the genesis of fear,

70
00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:47.759
especially in the mind as sensitive as the mind of

71
00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:57.160
a Vanjulin Car, the eldest of three daughters Vanjikar beautiful lonely, susceptible.

72
00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:04.279
Darling daddy. Why did he have to die that way?

73
00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:10.000
How could such a thing have happen to him? Accidents

74
00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:13.639
like that don't happen to people like him, not without

75
00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:18.600
some reason. It couldn't have been an accident. It couldn't

76
00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:18.920
have been.

77
00:05:21.279 --> 00:05:26.920
Who is this man, Harry Newton, This man who has

78
00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:29.360
suddenly becomes so important in our lives.

79
00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:35.519
My father's business partner, they say, Harden. My father never

80
00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:38.639
had a business partner, never, I'm sure of that. He

81
00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:44.480
would have told me. But then, who is Harry Newton?

82
00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:47.040
He was a hard one to pin down. His car

83
00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:50.600
doesn't have a home, not even a permanent address. It

84
00:05:50.759 --> 00:05:51.959
just seems to drift around.

85
00:05:52.680 --> 00:05:55.040
Was he up here in San Francisco the night my

86
00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:55.879
father was killed?

87
00:05:56.120 --> 00:05:58.480
I checked that, now he was, and but he was

88
00:05:58.560 --> 00:05:59.199
here that day.

89
00:05:59.720 --> 00:06:01.959
Fact, that's the day your father and he signed the

90
00:06:02.040 --> 00:06:03.519
papers that made them partners.

91
00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:04.519
That day.

92
00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:08.759
Yeah, that's the date on the contract. He left Frisco

93
00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:13.279
on the four o'clock plane accent. Happened about seven thirty. Yes,

94
00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:16.720
he seems to be the promoter type. Somebody else always

95
00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:17.560
takes the risk.

96
00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:19.879
How could my father have made a man like that?

97
00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:20.720
His partner.

98
00:06:29.319 --> 00:06:32.920
The contract is perfectly legal, Vangie. He is your father's partner.

99
00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:36.519
But why why did Dad ever take him in? Dad

100
00:06:36.600 --> 00:06:40.199
contributed all the property. This man contributed nothing.

101
00:06:40.600 --> 00:06:44.720
Nothing but himself. Evidently your father thought him a super salesman.

102
00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:48.040
You see, they'd plan to subdivide and sell the acreage

103
00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:51.000
here at Delavista, and he's determined to go through with it.

104
00:06:52.399 --> 00:06:54.399
No, I'm afraid there's not much we can do.

105
00:06:55.079 --> 00:06:56.199
No, I suppose not.

106
00:06:56.560 --> 00:06:59.879
I'm sorry this is very trying for you and your sisters.

107
00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:02.920
I know perhaps when he comes up here we can

108
00:07:02.959 --> 00:07:07.240
persuade him. He's coming here, of course, to look the

109
00:07:07.279 --> 00:07:07.720
place over.

110
00:07:08.439 --> 00:07:10.439
You'd have to stay here quite a bit to get

111
00:07:10.480 --> 00:07:11.160
the work started.

112
00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:14.920
Yes, of course I must have realized that, only I

113
00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:18.439
never really let myself think about how someday I'd have

114
00:07:18.600 --> 00:07:19.959
to meet him face to face.

115
00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:25.199
Uh, Benji, be careful.

116
00:07:27.079 --> 00:07:28.560
You don't trust him either.

117
00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:32.839
Do you? No, I don't trust him either.

118
00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:42.040
Just an everyday accident, but it can be the beginning

119
00:07:42.079 --> 00:07:45.800
of many things, especially when the dead man leaves unfinished

120
00:07:45.879 --> 00:07:50.319
business behind unfinished business and four hundred choice suburban acres

121
00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:54.519
between the highway and the sea, four hundred undeveloped acres

122
00:07:54.879 --> 00:07:57.480
in which any real estate man would see the possibilities.

123
00:07:57.839 --> 00:07:59.199
Add to that a partner like.

124
00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:03.759
Harry Newton and three beautiful daughters, especially a daughter like

125
00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:04.319
a Bangie.

126
00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:11.959
Are you hurt?

127
00:08:12.519 --> 00:08:17.240
No, I just felt down getting out of your way here.

128
00:08:17.319 --> 00:08:19.399
Let me brush you off. I'm sorry I came around

129
00:08:19.439 --> 00:08:21.160
the bend and didn't see you on. Oh no, it

130
00:08:21.319 --> 00:08:22.000
was my father.

131
00:08:22.360 --> 00:08:23.800
I shouldn't have been walking in the middle of the

132
00:08:23.920 --> 00:08:27.959
road dreaming like that. All right, thanks.

133
00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:30.600
Receiving hospitals are made for people like you.

134
00:08:31.079 --> 00:08:31.399
I know.

135
00:08:32.279 --> 00:08:34.480
I started out at the age of two playing with

136
00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:35.799
electric light sockets.

137
00:08:36.240 --> 00:08:38.519
Since I nearly knocked you down, I better introduce myself.

138
00:08:38.840 --> 00:08:41.840
My name's Harry Newton, and I always crossed streets when

139
00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:45.000
the light is green. Getting by in light merely requires

140
00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:47.039
the ability to take advantage of green lights.

141
00:08:47.000 --> 00:08:51.799
And the ability to recognize red lights. Huh, I'm a

142
00:08:51.919 --> 00:08:52.840
vangelin car.

143
00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:58.200
So so you're Avengie the beautiful one.

144
00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:01.679
No, no, Grace is the beautiful and Susie she's the

145
00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:06.600
cute one, the baby, and you Benjie. Oh, I'm well,

146
00:09:06.639 --> 00:09:11.080
I'm just me Fanjie, the plain one, the old maid.

147
00:09:12.200 --> 00:09:13.360
Just because you're the oldest.

148
00:09:14.679 --> 00:09:18.279
Mister Newton, you wouldn't be interested in me.

149
00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:22.919
No, maybe I like plain girls.

150
00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:31.519
That was the way it was. So suddenly I couldn't

151
00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:36.559
prepare for and I'd met Harry Newton. But what about

152
00:09:36.600 --> 00:09:40.039
all those questions and fears in my mind? What had

153
00:09:40.080 --> 00:09:40.679
happened to them?

154
00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:42.440
I didn't know.

155
00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:46.720
Downstairs, Harry Newton was talking to Aunt Martha.

156
00:09:47.960 --> 00:09:51.039
Of course you realize, mister Newton, this is mill An interview.

157
00:09:51.639 --> 00:09:54.320
Our only knowledge of you is that my brother entrusted

158
00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:56.000
you with some of his real estate ventures.

159
00:09:56.039 --> 00:09:58.279
He didn't entrust me with anything, Andy. He watched me

160
00:09:58.399 --> 00:09:58.879
like a hawk.

161
00:10:00.279 --> 00:10:02.919
You will realize, of course, the responsibilities that go with

162
00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:06.879
this venture. We know nothing of your character or affiliations.

163
00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:09.440
Perhaps you can supply some of the details.

164
00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:12.480
I've got a credit card with a Union oil company. Look, Andy,

165
00:10:12.559 --> 00:10:15.120
I came four hundred miles from Los Angeles to discuss

166
00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:18.480
the promotion of a subdivision. It's a little late for references.

167
00:10:19.000 --> 00:10:21.279
I'm in this deal with both feeding a legal document.

168
00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:23.279
Are you handling it for the kids?

169
00:10:23.399 --> 00:10:24.200
Well, not exactly.

170
00:10:24.200 --> 00:10:24.360
Why.

171
00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:26.159
Let's have a drink and make small talk. You learn

172
00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:28.000
more about me that way, how about it?

173
00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:28.559
Thank you?

174
00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:32.120
No, you can make yourself at home. Dinner is at seven.

175
00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:50.879
Okay, thanks, thanks very much. Never let a lady make

176
00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:53.080
a phone call when she doesn't know she's not alone.

177
00:10:53.279 --> 00:10:56.240
That's rule. Who are you, Harry Newton? Who are you, Grace?

178
00:10:57.440 --> 00:11:04.080
No, I'm Susie the Youngest. You're a man who murdered

179
00:11:04.159 --> 00:11:04.639
my father.

180
00:11:06.519 --> 00:11:08.879
That's a pretty big statement for a little girl.

181
00:11:10.120 --> 00:11:12.720
I say it only as an apology for having thought it.

182
00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:17.360
I accept your apology, only don't say it again.

183
00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:19.480
I won't.

184
00:11:21.200 --> 00:11:24.360
You going back to Los Angeles soon tomorrow? Do you

185
00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:25.039
like company?

186
00:11:25.320 --> 00:11:25.879
A passenger?

187
00:11:27.039 --> 00:11:28.159
I said company.

188
00:11:28.519 --> 00:11:30.279
Your aunt will ask for character references.

189
00:11:32.240 --> 00:11:33.279
I didn't ask for any.

190
00:11:34.679 --> 00:11:36.240
You got yourself a ride, Junior.

191
00:11:36.919 --> 00:11:40.039
You wouldn't be thinking of leaving earlier.

192
00:11:40.279 --> 00:11:43.919
Uh huh, I'm sleeping over. Our first customer is coming

193
00:11:44.000 --> 00:11:47.840
to dinner. Who people by the name of uh Burkhart?

194
00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:51.919
Oh with Burkhart and his silly wife.

195
00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:52.159
Huh.

196
00:11:53.159 --> 00:11:54.559
They're awful bores.

197
00:11:54.960 --> 00:11:57.159
And get set for some boring neighbors. We plan to

198
00:11:57.200 --> 00:11:57.840
sell them a lot.

199
00:11:59.080 --> 00:12:02.639
It's too bad. I love company, but I think I'll

200
00:12:02.639 --> 00:12:06.960
develop a headache and stay in my room tonight. Unless

201
00:12:07.039 --> 00:12:10.840
I can change your mind about leaving shall.

202
00:12:10.600 --> 00:12:14.840
We change the subject suit yourself. I just don't want

203
00:12:14.879 --> 00:12:16.120
to press my luck too far.

204
00:12:23.639 --> 00:12:26.279
All that evening, through dinner with the Burkharts, through the

205
00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:29.679
business talks that followed, all I could do was watch him,

206
00:12:30.039 --> 00:12:33.559
listen to his voice. I'd never expected a man like this,

207
00:12:34.440 --> 00:12:37.519
never expected him to make me feel like this, like

208
00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:41.039
I felt when he smiled and said good night, Like

209
00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:44.159
I felt when he drove away with Susie for Los

210
00:12:44.200 --> 00:12:47.639
Angeles next morning, like I felt when he called me

211
00:12:47.759 --> 00:12:48.600
a long distance.

212
00:12:49.480 --> 00:12:51.320
How are you getting along up there without me, Benji?

213
00:12:51.799 --> 00:12:54.559
Oh? I suppose we just barely managing good.

214
00:12:54.600 --> 00:12:55.519
I'll have to hurry back.

215
00:12:55.720 --> 00:12:57.240
The surveyors will be here next week.

216
00:12:57.320 --> 00:12:57.879
Who cares?

217
00:12:58.200 --> 00:13:00.399
But I don't want to waste this call talking business.

218
00:13:00.679 --> 00:13:04.360
Then I just want to talk to you, still, hope.

219
00:13:04.679 --> 00:13:05.480
I'm afraid, so.

220
00:13:07.559 --> 00:13:08.000
Wonderful?

221
00:13:10.320 --> 00:13:10.840
All right?

222
00:13:14.679 --> 00:13:17.519
Why did I laugh? And why did I go around

223
00:13:17.679 --> 00:13:22.240
walking on her? He was just flirting, probably with a purpose,

224
00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:26.879
for business reasons, but I didn't care. I knew it

225
00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:30.919
was crazy, but I didn't care. I counted the days until.

226
00:13:30.720 --> 00:13:31.360
He'd be back.

227
00:13:32.240 --> 00:13:36.879
When he came, he brought me a gift, quilted velvet roll.

228
00:13:38.639 --> 00:13:41.480
Martha said it looked like the inside of a coffin,

229
00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:45.080
but I liked it, and I liked the funny little

230
00:13:45.159 --> 00:13:48.840
note that went with it. After a few days seeing

231
00:13:48.960 --> 00:13:52.600
him talking to him began to fill my thoughts so

232
00:13:52.840 --> 00:13:57.840
completely that I couldn't sleep. So one night I walked

233
00:13:57.919 --> 00:14:00.519
down through the rose Garden, little tea house on the

234
00:14:00.679 --> 00:14:04.639
edge of the palace head. I was sitting there watching

235
00:14:04.840 --> 00:14:09.879
the loon light on the Sir Farlow, I don't think anything.

236
00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:11.879
You're not alone.

237
00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:13.759
It's you.

238
00:14:14.600 --> 00:14:16.559
It's the matter. Don't sleep tonight.

239
00:14:17.320 --> 00:14:22.679
I have things on my mind, like real estate and me. Yes,

240
00:14:23.720 --> 00:14:26.080
I'm trying to make some sort of plan.

241
00:14:26.679 --> 00:14:28.799
I just like to feel my way along see how

242
00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:31.559
far I can go. Plans are good to start with,

243
00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:33.240
then you follow your instinct.

244
00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:36.759
I like to know where I'm going, and you don't.

245
00:14:38.399 --> 00:14:41.240
I'm not sure you've never asked me a lot of

246
00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:44.120
questions like the others, But I suppose you've been wondering

247
00:14:44.159 --> 00:14:46.000
why your father and I were doing business together, why

248
00:14:46.039 --> 00:14:46.720
you invited me in.

249
00:14:47.679 --> 00:14:51.440
I knew there must have been a reason reason.

250
00:14:52.039 --> 00:14:53.720
I met him in Palm Springs, gave him a tip

251
00:14:53.759 --> 00:14:55.840
on a horse, and that won you figured he owed.

252
00:14:55.679 --> 00:14:59.600
Me something that's hard to believe, isn't it.

253
00:15:00.600 --> 00:15:02.200
Well, of course he liked me too, he thought I

254
00:15:02.320 --> 00:15:05.200
had got some brains. Beyond that, he didn't want to

255
00:15:05.240 --> 00:15:08.840
know a thing, And if he had, I'd have told

256
00:15:08.919 --> 00:15:15.919
him come here, Oh Harry, No, you're still afraid to

257
00:15:15.960 --> 00:15:21.440
follow your instincts. I don't know, come here.

258
00:15:31.559 --> 00:15:35.080
It's all so crazy. Two weeks ago, Harry Newton was

259
00:15:35.279 --> 00:15:37.679
just a name, a name. I hate it and feared

260
00:15:38.840 --> 00:15:42.759
there's nothing of that. Now now he's a man, a

261
00:15:42.960 --> 00:15:48.519
man that I love. My husband. We drove to Las

262
00:15:48.600 --> 00:15:51.200
Vegas and were married in a little chapel there, and

263
00:15:51.320 --> 00:15:55.000
we had a fast honeymoon, Playgroulette, seeing Bola Dam, just

264
00:15:55.200 --> 00:15:59.200
having fun being together. And when we came home again

265
00:15:59.399 --> 00:16:03.120
a word. We're still ringing in my ears for better,

266
00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:07.320
for worse, for richer, for poorer and sickness, and in health,

267
00:16:08.080 --> 00:16:14.559
to love and cherish until death do us part, until

268
00:16:15.759 --> 00:16:20.080
death do us part. I've moved my things into a

269
00:16:20.159 --> 00:16:22.720
corner room, Benji, so that you and he may have.

270
00:16:22.759 --> 00:16:25.320
The sweet Relax, Andy, this is strictly temporary.

271
00:16:25.399 --> 00:16:28.720
We'll probably go to Los Angeles eventually. All Harry's friends

272
00:16:28.799 --> 00:16:29.080
are there.

273
00:16:29.360 --> 00:16:31.559
Meanwhile, I'll have my stuff shipped up there as much

274
00:16:31.960 --> 00:16:33.919
packed awayne Lou Dansh's apartment. He's the one I was

275
00:16:33.960 --> 00:16:36.240
telling you about. Honey owns that restaurant on the strip.

276
00:16:36.279 --> 00:16:38.600
Where you were away. There was a phone call for

277
00:16:38.679 --> 00:16:41.879
Miss Newton. Yeah, from a miss Kitty Platt.

278
00:16:42.600 --> 00:16:44.759
Kitty Plat girl I used.

279
00:16:44.600 --> 00:16:49.039
To date, probably wondering what happened to me? I wonder

280
00:16:49.120 --> 00:16:51.559
what did look at me? Head over hills in matrimony

281
00:16:51.639 --> 00:16:53.720
and and I love it?

282
00:16:54.360 --> 00:16:54.559
Yeah?

283
00:16:57.159 --> 00:16:59.240
Is that a private matt? Can anybody get in it?

284
00:16:59.360 --> 00:17:05.160
Oh? Hello, Susy, Hi, I have to excuse my.

285
00:17:05.279 --> 00:17:08.400
Lack of tact. Never been a sister in law before,

286
00:17:08.400 --> 00:17:12.480
and I'm at a loss. Best of everything, siss.

287
00:17:13.799 --> 00:17:15.799
You rate it? Thank you, Susy.

288
00:17:16.599 --> 00:17:16.799
Oh?

289
00:17:17.519 --> 00:17:18.319
Is anything wrong?

290
00:17:18.440 --> 00:17:18.640
Dear?

291
00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:20.359
You look awfully tired?

292
00:17:21.079 --> 00:17:25.759
Hasn't Harry told you takes a gentleman to keep a secret.

293
00:17:27.160 --> 00:17:27.920
Thank you, Harry.

294
00:17:28.640 --> 00:17:29.240
You're welcome.

295
00:17:29.880 --> 00:17:35.079
What what a lovely wedding man, Benjie. Nothing temporary about

296
00:17:35.119 --> 00:17:35.960
this piece of jewelry.

297
00:17:36.279 --> 00:17:37.759
Three passes at a crap table.

298
00:17:38.119 --> 00:17:41.519
Tell me, Benjie, Darling, you buy you the short older

299
00:17:41.599 --> 00:17:45.559
ceremony or the blue plate. It's very impressive. I understand.

300
00:17:47.240 --> 00:17:48.839
Bless o Lord this ring.

301
00:17:49.839 --> 00:17:52.039
But he who gives it and she who wears it,

302
00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:54.319
they abide any piece.

303
00:17:57.240 --> 00:18:01.240
Susie, Susie, Dear Harry.

304
00:18:02.200 --> 00:18:04.680
That's a sick girl. Mind.

305
00:18:04.680 --> 00:18:07.640
If I speak to her as a member of the family,

306
00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:09.559
I feel I have the privilege of helping.

307
00:18:10.279 --> 00:18:12.680
I'll be right back, Harry.

308
00:18:12.440 --> 00:18:16.960
Handy Thandie. Oh oh, what is it, am Martin?

309
00:18:17.039 --> 00:18:18.960
Well, I I didn't want to talk to you, dear,

310
00:18:19.000 --> 00:18:22.519
while he was with you, but I'm worried about Susie.

311
00:18:22.880 --> 00:18:26.880
He's been acting very queerly, not eating and so jumpy.

312
00:18:27.319 --> 00:18:28.680
What do you suppose is wrong?

313
00:18:28.799 --> 00:18:32.000
I don't know, but she hasn't been herself since she

314
00:18:32.039 --> 00:18:35.200
went to Los Angeles. Perhaps if you had a talk

315
00:18:35.279 --> 00:18:35.559
with her.

316
00:18:35.759 --> 00:18:41.079
Harry is doing that now, Harry, Yes, a stranger, Auntie.

317
00:18:41.240 --> 00:18:44.279
Oh, I'm sorry, dear. I shouldn't have said that. It's

318
00:18:44.440 --> 00:18:47.519
just that I can't get used to the idea. I mean,

319
00:18:47.599 --> 00:18:51.519
his being one of us, But then I hardly know him.

320
00:18:51.960 --> 00:18:55.720
It's very hard to know him. Yes, I suppose it is.

321
00:18:56.079 --> 00:18:59.920
I only meant that perhaps someone else should talk to Susie.

322
00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:02.920
You mean you think maybe Harry has something to do

323
00:19:03.079 --> 00:19:06.119
with Susie acting this way? What no, Ben, Do you

324
00:19:06.319 --> 00:19:20.599
didn't say that? No, No, of course not, Harry. Yeah,

325
00:19:21.400 --> 00:19:24.880
how is Susie? Maybe I better talk to waver alone?

326
00:19:24.960 --> 00:19:29.480
She won't tell you anything? Then you tell me it's

327
00:19:29.519 --> 00:19:32.440
one of those things. How do the writers put it?

328
00:19:32.880 --> 00:19:33.839
Unrequited love?

329
00:19:35.519 --> 00:19:35.640
Hugh?

330
00:19:37.559 --> 00:19:38.079
Well, of it is?

331
00:19:38.119 --> 00:19:39.400
She hasn't told me the whole truth.

332
00:19:40.359 --> 00:19:41.359
What did she tell you?

333
00:19:42.880 --> 00:19:44.720
How do you turn the heat on in the dungeon

334
00:19:44.799 --> 00:19:45.119
of THEO?

335
00:19:45.519 --> 00:19:48.200
There's a guess heater in the fireplace? But what did

336
00:19:48.279 --> 00:19:51.440
you tell you? Harry?

337
00:19:52.319 --> 00:19:55.920
Look? Angel? Are you going to turn on me too?

338
00:19:56.240 --> 00:19:57.279
Don't do it? I need you.

339
00:19:58.400 --> 00:20:00.440
I've been rattling around like a pebble in this old

340
00:20:00.519 --> 00:20:02.640
drum of a world with nothing to grab onto. Now

341
00:20:02.680 --> 00:20:06.039
I'm safe. I've got somebody. Miss Alley Cat's got a

342
00:20:06.119 --> 00:20:09.240
home that you. Angel. You're my roof in four walls.

343
00:20:10.799 --> 00:20:13.759
Please understand it. It's not that I don't trust you,

344
00:20:14.440 --> 00:20:15.960
but I'm worried about Susie.

345
00:20:16.200 --> 00:20:18.720
Okay, Baby, you talk to her tomorrow. It'll do any good.

346
00:20:19.400 --> 00:20:22.160
But right now I don't worry about it. Come on,

347
00:20:22.319 --> 00:20:23.119
let's get some sleep.

348
00:20:33.039 --> 00:20:36.440
Oh what.

349
00:20:39.319 --> 00:20:40.599
What was that?

350
00:20:40.960 --> 00:20:43.000
I don't know what time is it?

351
00:20:43.920 --> 00:20:44.559
Six o'clock?

352
00:20:47.160 --> 00:20:49.480
It's Aaron, I think, who's a garden?

353
00:20:50.319 --> 00:20:52.039
He must be looking below that window there?

354
00:20:55.079 --> 00:20:55.519
What's up?

355
00:20:55.960 --> 00:20:58.359
It's Susan's What about her?

356
00:20:58.519 --> 00:20:59.920
What about her? She's dead?

357
00:21:00.839 --> 00:21:01.079
Dead.

358
00:21:10.720 --> 00:21:17.279
Tragedy begets tragedy. Accidents breed more accidents. Or was this

359
00:21:17.400 --> 00:21:19.640
another accident? At any rate?

360
00:21:20.160 --> 00:21:22.640
In the grim sequence of events started by that simple

361
00:21:22.759 --> 00:21:25.599
accident on a city street, a second member of the

362
00:21:25.680 --> 00:21:27.039
Carr family was dead.

363
00:21:28.359 --> 00:21:33.680
They say, tragedies strike in threes. I wonder, and so

364
00:21:33.839 --> 00:21:35.559
does Vanji Kar wonder.

365
00:21:37.200 --> 00:21:42.000
Why did it happen? Why did she do it? What

366
00:21:42.160 --> 00:21:44.559
did Harry know? Did he have anything to.

367
00:21:44.599 --> 00:21:44.920
Do with it?

368
00:21:46.119 --> 00:21:46.160
No?

369
00:21:46.599 --> 00:21:51.559
No, I mustn't just relax. No, rest, that's what I'm

370
00:21:51.599 --> 00:21:56.000
supposed to do. Relax. In a few minutes, he'll come

371
00:21:56.119 --> 00:21:59.240
up and tell me. Tell me what they're talking about

372
00:21:59.359 --> 00:22:03.880
down there, He and Aaron and my sister Grace. Tell

373
00:22:03.960 --> 00:22:05.839
me about it, Aaron, from the beginning.

374
00:22:06.000 --> 00:22:08.200
It's hard for me to tell it, how miss Grace.

375
00:22:08.920 --> 00:22:09.799
It's like a dream.

376
00:22:10.160 --> 00:22:12.240
He hasn't told it the same way twice.

377
00:22:12.000 --> 00:22:12.799
But I tried to.

378
00:22:13.000 --> 00:22:13.559
I tried to.

379
00:22:13.759 --> 00:22:17.000
Mister Newton knows that. Now try again, Aaron.

380
00:22:17.279 --> 00:22:20.680
Well, I was up early, not early for me, but early,

381
00:22:20.799 --> 00:22:23.119
and there was a mist and the ground was wet,

382
00:22:23.240 --> 00:22:26.440
so I wore my rubbers. I was pinning back the

383
00:22:26.480 --> 00:22:29.359
honeysuckle on the trellis near the garage when she came by.

384
00:22:30.200 --> 00:22:33.039
Didn't see me, but but but I saw her walking

385
00:22:33.160 --> 00:22:35.839
as as if in her sleep. Yet she looked as

386
00:22:35.880 --> 00:22:38.160
if she knew where she was going. And she was

387
00:22:38.319 --> 00:22:41.400
dressed and combed and carried purse.

388
00:22:41.880 --> 00:22:45.279
So I said good morning, but she didn't answer, and

389
00:22:45.400 --> 00:22:47.640
went off into the mist, toward the tea house on

390
00:22:47.759 --> 00:22:50.440
the edge of the palisade, where there's only one path.

391
00:22:50.559 --> 00:22:53.759
And then presently I worked my way down the path

392
00:22:54.119 --> 00:22:57.559
through the rose garden to say good morning again, but

393
00:22:57.759 --> 00:22:58.359
she was gone.

394
00:22:59.039 --> 00:23:01.519
She had jumped into the ocean onto the rocks below.

395
00:23:02.160 --> 00:23:03.200
And I found a purse.

396
00:23:03.440 --> 00:23:05.720
That purse on the bar, and that writing crop.

397
00:23:06.920 --> 00:23:09.920
A writing crop is mine. I left it there several

398
00:23:10.000 --> 00:23:10.440
days ago.

399
00:23:11.799 --> 00:23:15.599
Oh, I see, all right, Aaron, that's all.

400
00:23:15.680 --> 00:23:20.440
You may go now, all right, grace well, mister Newton,

401
00:23:20.880 --> 00:23:21.599
Harry's the name.

402
00:23:23.000 --> 00:23:24.839
Yes, of course we are related, aren't we.

403
00:23:25.119 --> 00:23:28.759
Should I apologize for not belaboring you with congratulatory messages

404
00:23:28.799 --> 00:23:29.400
on your marriage.

405
00:23:29.559 --> 00:23:32.279
Some people are just naturally short on sentiment. You have

406
00:23:32.400 --> 00:23:32.920
other gifts.

407
00:23:33.640 --> 00:23:33.960
Thanks.

408
00:23:35.440 --> 00:23:38.319
It's just that I have an instinctive aversion to attractive

409
00:23:38.400 --> 00:23:40.640
men being snatched from the open market.

410
00:23:41.480 --> 00:23:43.440
If I ever get back on the market, I'll send

411
00:23:43.480 --> 00:23:44.279
you a credit.

412
00:23:44.079 --> 00:23:46.920
Slip planning to get back on the market.

413
00:23:47.839 --> 00:23:49.200
Not at this particular time.

414
00:23:50.480 --> 00:24:04.160
I see anybody here, Benji, don't turn on the light, Harry,

415
00:24:05.119 --> 00:24:05.680
I look off.

416
00:24:06.279 --> 00:24:09.559
I relax. Angel I know how upset you are, but

417
00:24:09.680 --> 00:24:10.519
you got to relax.

418
00:24:10.599 --> 00:24:16.200
I can can't. Oh, Susie, Susie.

419
00:24:15.799 --> 00:24:17.759
You take it easy.

420
00:24:18.440 --> 00:24:20.880
I swear you would just fly apart, springs and wheels

421
00:24:20.920 --> 00:24:23.640
and everything. You're going to have to rest a few days.

422
00:24:23.680 --> 00:24:27.160
Oh, I want to know everything, Erry, Who wasn't? Who

423
00:24:27.519 --> 00:24:28.720
did this to Susie?

424
00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:34.759
I lied to I mean I lied when I said

425
00:24:34.839 --> 00:24:38.039
Susie chose me as a confident. The way it happened,

426
00:24:38.039 --> 00:24:40.200
I stumbled in the into the middle of her romance

427
00:24:40.279 --> 00:24:43.400
by accident. And who the neighbor of yours with Burkhart?

428
00:24:44.640 --> 00:24:47.400
What Burup's mare?

429
00:24:47.599 --> 00:24:49.519
Yeah, you see, I bumped into them in a quiet

430
00:24:49.519 --> 00:24:52.640
little restaurant in Los Angeles. I was about as welcome

431
00:24:52.640 --> 00:24:54.880
as bad news and a collect telegram. I grabbed her

432
00:24:55.000 --> 00:24:57.799
quick one at the bar and ran. But is that

433
00:24:58.000 --> 00:25:01.240
all No, Susie. She made it her business to see

434
00:25:01.279 --> 00:25:04.480
me the next day. She wanted me to promise not

435
00:25:04.559 --> 00:25:07.480
to tell anyone I'd seen them together. I let her talk,

436
00:25:07.559 --> 00:25:11.319
and she did plenty. It was nice the way she

437
00:25:11.480 --> 00:25:16.200
told her, crying as if her insides were splintered. This fellow, Burkhart,

438
00:25:16.240 --> 00:25:17.799
had met her in Los Angeles to let her know

439
00:25:17.880 --> 00:25:18.759
that they'd come to the end.

440
00:25:18.720 --> 00:25:19.200
Of the line.

441
00:25:20.319 --> 00:25:22.480
He was afraid his wife was getting wise, so they

442
00:25:22.519 --> 00:25:26.119
had one last rendezvous. That's all, except the way she

443
00:25:26.240 --> 00:25:27.799
loved this guy. He must be all right.

444
00:25:28.920 --> 00:25:32.519
Oh no, Harry. A man doesn't have to be all

445
00:25:32.720 --> 00:25:44.640
right for a woman the love. The next few days

446
00:25:44.680 --> 00:25:48.960
I spent in bed. I was supposed to relax. I couldn't.

447
00:25:49.400 --> 00:25:52.119
There's too much to think about it. Even the doctor's

448
00:25:52.200 --> 00:25:57.519
pills didn't help. Little things made impressions on me, Little

449
00:25:57.599 --> 00:25:59.519
things that people said.

450
00:26:00.119 --> 00:26:05.559
Her husband took me riding this morning, Darling, tell me, Benjie,

451
00:26:05.559 --> 00:26:06.759
how did you ever trap him?

452
00:26:07.720 --> 00:26:11.759
I don't know. You just seemed to like me. I

453
00:26:11.839 --> 00:26:14.680
guess we're not hard to like. Daddy left us quite

454
00:26:14.680 --> 00:26:15.680
a bit of a lure.

455
00:26:16.319 --> 00:26:19.440
A square block in San Francisco, Fourth theaters, two open

456
00:26:19.480 --> 00:26:22.000
air markets, and a lovely office building in Los Angeles,

457
00:26:22.279 --> 00:26:26.599
in short, a real estate man's paradise. Grace, Sorry, Darling,

458
00:26:27.839 --> 00:26:30.720
he's so different from my faithful, methodical Lenny.

459
00:26:30.759 --> 00:26:33.640
I'm just jealous, aren't you flattered?

460
00:26:42.359 --> 00:26:42.599
Well?

461
00:26:43.880 --> 00:26:45.000
Yourself irresistible?

462
00:26:45.799 --> 00:26:48.200
I just got tired of looking like something that's been

463
00:26:48.279 --> 00:26:48.759
left out.

464
00:26:48.680 --> 00:26:50.400
In the ring flowers do all right?

465
00:26:51.119 --> 00:26:55.279
You're very sweet, Harry, but I know my limitation mansense.

466
00:26:55.359 --> 00:26:56.880
I think you're very attractive, but.

467
00:26:57.000 --> 00:27:01.000
Not beautiful like Grace. If we take her for a

468
00:27:01.119 --> 00:27:01.839
measuring stick.

469
00:27:03.400 --> 00:27:05.680
No one would take Grace for a measuring stick or

470
00:27:05.720 --> 00:27:09.400
any other kind of stick. She's the sexy type.

471
00:27:15.440 --> 00:27:19.799
Nice of you to come, missus Burchard cigarette, No thanks,

472
00:27:20.119 --> 00:27:22.759
It made me give up smoking. He really babies me.

473
00:27:23.000 --> 00:27:25.440
That man forced me to go away for a two

474
00:27:25.519 --> 00:27:26.200
week rest.

475
00:27:26.359 --> 00:27:30.200
I told him I felt fine, but he insisted. Was

476
00:27:30.319 --> 00:27:33.480
that when he went to Los Angeles, Los Angeles. It

477
00:27:33.640 --> 00:27:36.759
hasn't been to Los Angeles in four years? Why know

478
00:27:37.039 --> 00:27:38.039
he went along with me?

479
00:27:41.880 --> 00:27:44.839
Of course she wasn't Lye. Her husband had been to

480
00:27:44.920 --> 00:27:47.519
Los Angeles, just as Harry said he had with Susie.

481
00:27:48.440 --> 00:27:50.920
He must have been. She was just trying to make

482
00:27:50.960 --> 00:27:55.359
Harry look bad, so the rest of them. That's why

483
00:27:55.440 --> 00:27:59.119
I took to listening to find out what they were

484
00:27:59.200 --> 00:28:06.160
up to to protect Harry and listen even from behind

485
00:28:06.559 --> 00:28:08.240
doors alone.

486
00:28:08.279 --> 00:28:11.880
Newton, you remember me, Garney the lawyer.

487
00:28:12.200 --> 00:28:12.519
Uh huh?

488
00:28:13.160 --> 00:28:14.920
Is Missus Newton too ill for a visitor?

489
00:28:15.359 --> 00:28:15.960
Yes? She is.

490
00:28:16.039 --> 00:28:16.599
What do you want?

491
00:28:17.319 --> 00:28:20.319
It's in regard to your suggestion, mister Newton, that arrangements

492
00:28:20.400 --> 00:28:22.799
be made to give you power of attorney in matters

493
00:28:23.160 --> 00:28:24.279
pertaining to Della Vista.

494
00:28:24.440 --> 00:28:26.400
You can lower your voice. I told you my wife

495
00:28:26.480 --> 00:28:26.759
is ill.

496
00:28:27.319 --> 00:28:29.799
Any request of that nature should be gone over with

497
00:28:29.920 --> 00:28:31.000
all parties concerned.

498
00:28:31.039 --> 00:28:32.440
I said, lower your voice.

499
00:28:33.079 --> 00:28:39.119
Of course, two untimely tragedies have decreased the number of

500
00:28:39.200 --> 00:28:40.119
parties concerned.

501
00:28:41.079 --> 00:28:44.119
I'd say you have two down and two to go.

502
00:28:44.400 --> 00:28:46.160
Mister Newton, What do you mean by that?

503
00:28:49.039 --> 00:28:49.359
Nothing?

504
00:28:51.119 --> 00:28:53.359
Have you discussed this matter with missus Newton. There's no

505
00:28:53.480 --> 00:28:56.200
reason for her to object. On the other hand, there's

506
00:28:56.359 --> 00:28:59.680
Grace Carr. He was spoken to her not more than

507
00:28:59.720 --> 00:29:02.880
a more to go, It's no go, Newton.

508
00:29:03.519 --> 00:29:06.400
Miss Carr, it seems, has developed quite an interest in

509
00:29:06.720 --> 00:29:11.480
Della Vista, or some aspects of it. She intends to

510
00:29:11.519 --> 00:29:14.119
work with you as closely as possible.

511
00:29:14.920 --> 00:29:19.720
That sounds engaging. Yes, for you, it should be a cinch.

512
00:29:20.000 --> 00:29:20.359
Newton.

513
00:29:21.559 --> 00:29:25.880
I understand you're quite a hand with the ladies. I've

514
00:29:26.079 --> 00:29:26.880
had my innings.

515
00:29:34.400 --> 00:29:37.720
I listen to everything. Sometimes I woke up in the

516
00:29:37.759 --> 00:29:41.599
middle of the night and listen. Listen to Harry Grace

517
00:29:41.799 --> 00:29:47.599
downstairs talking, laughing, laughing. They laughed together a lot. He's

518
00:29:47.880 --> 00:29:50.880
very wonderful. I don't know how you did it.

519
00:29:51.160 --> 00:29:51.960
What's up, partner?

520
00:29:52.200 --> 00:29:55.400
Telegram from Jim Strand. He's willing to talk terms and

521
00:29:55.559 --> 00:29:56.720
he's free to talk tonight.

522
00:29:56.920 --> 00:29:59.039
Well, for heaven's sake, let's be sociable. Maybe we can

523
00:29:59.119 --> 00:30:00.599
have the deal signed. Moving tomorrow.

524
00:30:01.240 --> 00:30:03.920
That means staying over in San Francisco tonight.

525
00:30:04.039 --> 00:30:05.799
I'll take care of the hotel reservations.

526
00:30:06.079 --> 00:30:08.079
Oh high pressure, Harry.

527
00:30:08.319 --> 00:30:10.240
We'll take them to the best restaurant in town and

528
00:30:10.279 --> 00:30:11.480
we'll order their best metal.

529
00:30:12.200 --> 00:30:13.599
Are you worried about your figure?

530
00:30:14.519 --> 00:30:14.559
No?

531
00:30:16.319 --> 00:30:18.720
Are you worried about See you later?

532
00:30:19.559 --> 00:30:22.839
Hello, I want to growing her in San Francisco, a

533
00:30:23.079 --> 00:30:28.240
charming little hotel. Oh how about you? Hello, Angela? I

534
00:30:28.319 --> 00:30:30.559
thought you were in bed. How's your headache?

535
00:30:30.559 --> 00:30:30.680
Bet?

536
00:30:32.160 --> 00:30:34.079
I'd like to go along with you, Harry.

537
00:30:34.160 --> 00:30:36.079
Tonight in your conditions?

538
00:30:36.160 --> 00:30:39.400
What's wrong with me? Don't you want my company?

539
00:30:39.519 --> 00:30:40.799
You're not up to it, You're sick.

540
00:30:40.839 --> 00:30:46.319
I said, I'm better. I've decided to help you, help me.

541
00:30:47.359 --> 00:30:48.400
Grace helps you.

542
00:30:48.960 --> 00:30:49.839
She tags along?

543
00:30:51.039 --> 00:30:54.599
Can I tag along too? Peez, Harry? I want to

544
00:30:54.680 --> 00:30:55.160
go with you?

545
00:30:55.480 --> 00:30:55.880
All right?

546
00:30:56.480 --> 00:30:59.839
Why not in this afternoon? I wanted to take me ride?

547
00:31:00.400 --> 00:31:02.759
Did you know I could ride? I'm better than Grace.

548
00:31:02.799 --> 00:31:05.279
I've won cups. Shall we go riding this afternoon?

549
00:31:05.559 --> 00:31:05.799
Sure?

550
00:31:06.039 --> 00:31:06.440
Angel?

551
00:31:07.680 --> 00:31:08.880
Maybe that's a good idea.

552
00:31:19.480 --> 00:31:20.400
What's that, Grace?

553
00:31:21.160 --> 00:31:21.200
No?

554
00:31:21.279 --> 00:31:24.000
I don't know, Martha. I can't see. The fog is

555
00:31:24.079 --> 00:31:24.400
rolling in.

556
00:31:24.759 --> 00:31:29.039
It's a horse, but no rider, is it Banjie or

557
00:31:29.119 --> 00:31:31.880
Harry's stearing down the path toward the highway, probably heading

558
00:31:31.920 --> 00:31:34.759
for the stables. Hunt, Martha, something's happened on yours and

559
00:31:34.839 --> 00:31:40.039
you come on? Here comes the other One's Harry. He's

560
00:31:40.119 --> 00:31:40.960
carrying Banji.

561
00:31:41.359 --> 00:31:41.480
Hi.

562
00:31:41.960 --> 00:31:46.599
Hi, help me get her up to her room.

563
00:31:46.799 --> 00:31:49.279
Please stop acting, Cilly. I wasn't hurt a bit.

564
00:31:49.440 --> 00:31:51.720
Yes, she was a shoulders bruise. I'm calling doctor Rupert.

565
00:31:51.759 --> 00:31:53.960
What's more, you're going to the clinic tomorrow for X rays.

566
00:31:54.000 --> 00:31:55.000
No sense? Taking chance.

567
00:31:55.079 --> 00:31:56.240
What happened a horse?

568
00:31:56.759 --> 00:32:00.279
Why? I don't know? Maybe Harry does. Yes, he was

569
00:32:00.400 --> 00:32:03.920
riding just behind. Did you see any reason for it, Harry?

570
00:32:04.119 --> 00:32:04.920
No, not a thing.

571
00:32:12.960 --> 00:32:15.640
I tell you, Harry. There's nothing wrong with me, nothing

572
00:32:15.680 --> 00:32:17.519
but a simple old fashioned headache.

573
00:32:17.839 --> 00:32:20.400
Maybe you can grab some sleep before the doctor gets here.

574
00:32:21.400 --> 00:32:24.839
Why are you making such a fuss? Is it because

575
00:32:24.880 --> 00:32:27.240
you don't want me with you? In San Francisco?

576
00:32:27.680 --> 00:32:29.720
You certainly can't go to We're sure you're all right?

577
00:32:30.839 --> 00:32:32.720
Then you're going without me.

578
00:32:33.720 --> 00:32:37.799
We'll talk about it later. Get some sleep, angel?

579
00:32:40.319 --> 00:32:42.759
What are you doing and acting up your heir? This

580
00:32:42.920 --> 00:32:45.359
room is like a tomb. If we take the chill off,

581
00:32:45.400 --> 00:32:46.119
maybe you'll sleep.

582
00:32:47.440 --> 00:32:50.480
You won't go without me, will you, Harry?

583
00:32:51.160 --> 00:32:52.240
Are we back on that again?

584
00:32:54.200 --> 00:32:59.799
I'm sorry, Harry? What I've made you angry with me?

585
00:33:00.119 --> 00:33:00.480
Haven't I?

586
00:33:01.279 --> 00:33:04.039
No? Do you love me?

587
00:33:04.920 --> 00:33:05.200
Sure?

588
00:33:06.599 --> 00:33:11.000
It's so strange as marriage devours, it's more like an affair.

589
00:33:11.400 --> 00:33:15.960
It happened so fast. We don't really know each other,

590
00:33:16.319 --> 00:33:19.960
do we, Harry? Why did you want me?

591
00:33:20.160 --> 00:33:20.480
Harry?

592
00:33:21.559 --> 00:33:22.400
Because I love you?

593
00:33:23.440 --> 00:33:24.640
Because you love me?

594
00:33:26.640 --> 00:33:26.839
Yet?

595
00:33:26.880 --> 00:33:30.079
If I were gone tomorrow, would there be another to

596
00:33:30.200 --> 00:33:35.359
take my place? As there were others before me. Oh no,

597
00:33:35.839 --> 00:33:39.160
I'm going to answer that I get sillier by the minute.

598
00:33:40.359 --> 00:33:42.519
Give me, Darling, there's nothing to forgive.

599
00:33:44.920 --> 00:33:46.279
I won't be silly anymore.

600
00:33:46.599 --> 00:33:51.559
I'm sure you won't. Angel. Good night, I'll say that

601
00:33:51.640 --> 00:33:52.000
you're not.

602
00:33:52.119 --> 00:34:12.760
Disturbed, Harry, Harry. I'd come to that state of mind,

603
00:34:13.719 --> 00:34:17.639
and the senses are so drugged with fatigue. There's an

604
00:34:17.880 --> 00:34:23.760
end of caring. Almost all the doubts, the fears loomed

605
00:34:23.880 --> 00:34:31.320
up enveloped me. Yet I was getting drowsy. Reality was

606
00:34:31.519 --> 00:34:37.039
becoming distorted into nightmare. There was a strange ringing in

607
00:34:37.159 --> 00:34:43.280
my ears, and I began to see things like a dream.

608
00:34:44.639 --> 00:34:49.000
I thought I saw a pooky my canary lying in

609
00:34:49.119 --> 00:34:53.159
the bottom of his cage, with his little legs thrust

610
00:34:53.559 --> 00:35:01.079
stiffly upward and death. Then I was hearing things like

611
00:35:01.840 --> 00:35:06.800
like a hissing snake getting down on the floor I

612
00:35:07.039 --> 00:35:15.880
saw curled up by the heater. I must I must.

613
00:35:20.760 --> 00:35:30.480
Grace, Grace laughing, laughing with Harry. Somehow, for the first time,

614
00:35:31.400 --> 00:35:32.880
I didn't care.

615
00:35:34.480 --> 00:35:40.719
She had no cause to cloase. It happened to her too,

616
00:35:42.760 --> 00:35:46.079
just like it happened to death.

617
00:35:47.480 --> 00:35:52.719
And the soon, and like it was happening.

618
00:35:54.119 --> 00:36:09.199
Careene In Tonight's full Hour of Suspense, Mister Robert Ryan

619
00:36:09.239 --> 00:36:11.920
appears as Harry Newton and Miss Ruth Warwick appears as

620
00:36:12.000 --> 00:36:17.440
Banji kar in Beyond Reason, Tonight's study in suspense.

621
00:36:24.519 --> 00:36:26.599
In just a moment, we will return with Act two

622
00:36:26.719 --> 00:36:27.400
of Suspense.

623
00:36:28.000 --> 00:36:42.119
This is CBS, the Columbia Broadcasting System, and.

624
00:36:42.239 --> 00:36:45.920
Now back to our Hollywood soundstage and to our producer,

625
00:36:46.000 --> 00:36:50.159
mister Robert Montgomery, for Act two of Beyond Reasons, starring

626
00:36:50.320 --> 00:36:54.199
Ruth Warwick and Robert Ryan. In a narrative well calculated

627
00:36:54.239 --> 00:36:56.320
to keep you in suspense.

628
00:37:06.719 --> 00:37:09.199
It all started with a fatal accident on a street

629
00:37:09.280 --> 00:37:10.559
corner in San Francisco.

630
00:37:10.679 --> 00:37:12.559
You probably read about it in the papers a few

631
00:37:12.599 --> 00:37:13.320
weeks ago.

632
00:37:13.840 --> 00:37:17.039
Just an everyday accident, but it was an end and

633
00:37:17.159 --> 00:37:20.679
a beginning, an end for Pinkton Carr who was killed,

634
00:37:21.199 --> 00:37:24.440
and a beginning for his three daughters and Harry Newton.

635
00:37:25.280 --> 00:37:28.320
But with the sequence of events half played through, there

636
00:37:28.360 --> 00:37:31.760
are now only two daughters, one down and two to go.

637
00:37:32.719 --> 00:37:34.880
And right now, lying on the bed in her room

638
00:37:35.440 --> 00:37:38.840
is Vanjie Carr. The hiss of gas loud in her ears,

639
00:37:39.639 --> 00:37:42.559
drowning out the thoughts the fears and the voices of

640
00:37:42.679 --> 00:37:46.159
Sister Grace and Harry Newton in the living room below.

641
00:37:46.800 --> 00:37:50.480
Harry I told Jim strandwo'd meet him at nine. We

642
00:37:50.559 --> 00:37:51.559
can make it if we hurry.

643
00:37:51.920 --> 00:37:55.880
Where's Andy she's resting. Okay, let's go.

644
00:37:56.840 --> 00:38:00.480
Or what about missus Newton take a peek.

645
00:38:00.599 --> 00:38:03.880
No, no, she'll wake up. If I go in, let

646
00:38:03.960 --> 00:38:07.480
her sleep. I could be back by midnight if we hurried,

647
00:38:08.480 --> 00:38:09.280
Let's just go.

648
00:38:16.559 --> 00:38:22.920
I dream church bells were toddling my ded someone was

649
00:38:23.440 --> 00:38:29.320
I think my throat, nostrils was cotton patty. I couldn't breathe.

650
00:38:30.679 --> 00:38:34.679
My limbs were bound to the bed. I tried to scream,

651
00:38:35.199 --> 00:38:40.159
but I couldn't. I started to spin. The bed was spinny.

652
00:38:41.159 --> 00:38:45.159
The whole room was spinny, like a hope who ever

653
00:38:45.320 --> 00:38:49.800
know little. Finally it was as thin as the sound

654
00:38:49.920 --> 00:38:50.639
of a bell.

655
00:38:56.679 --> 00:38:58.960
Oh, doctor Rubert, I just got your message.

656
00:38:59.679 --> 00:39:02.360
You know all day she she seems quite well. I

657
00:39:02.400 --> 00:39:05.320
guess my car was a little hasty. What happened? Fell

658
00:39:05.400 --> 00:39:05.960
off a horse?

659
00:39:06.280 --> 00:39:09.719
That girl always something, It's been that way as long

660
00:39:09.760 --> 00:39:10.440
as I've known her.

661
00:39:11.119 --> 00:39:13.280
So she thought she were strong enough to go riding.

662
00:39:14.239 --> 00:39:15.280
Maybe that's my fault.

663
00:39:15.639 --> 00:39:16.719
It was the horse's fault.

664
00:39:17.039 --> 00:39:19.920
Well, I'll go up and have a little Jesus she's sleeping.

665
00:39:20.519 --> 00:39:28.840
Oh well, that's always good menister, going someplace business appointment, Well,

666
00:39:29.199 --> 00:39:29.639
good night.

667
00:39:31.519 --> 00:39:34.960
What's that crush that came from Benjie's room? There's something wrong.

668
00:39:42.760 --> 00:39:51.840
It was darkness, darkness, flashing lights, changing colors, shifting designs, nices,

669
00:39:52.880 --> 00:39:56.679
somehow recognizable human voices.

670
00:39:57.000 --> 00:39:59.920
And another quite a pillow.

671
00:40:00.480 --> 00:40:01.679
Always morning.

672
00:40:01.840 --> 00:40:04.400
He's a murderer. Listen to me. I know he's a murderer.

673
00:40:05.719 --> 00:40:08.599
Coffee, well, coffee kill her, thank.

674
00:40:08.360 --> 00:40:20.119
You, murder happy murder, Angie, murder vane, Banjie, Benjie, Ah,

675
00:40:22.079 --> 00:40:27.239
good morning, Angel, Harry. That's spent a tough night, but

676
00:40:27.360 --> 00:40:30.400
you came through it as good as me. Last night

677
00:40:30.440 --> 00:40:32.519
I wanted to shoot myself. It's all my fault.

678
00:40:32.840 --> 00:40:34.880
No, no, it's not.

679
00:40:35.679 --> 00:40:36.400
Don't say that.

680
00:40:37.519 --> 00:40:40.000
I thought I connected the heater, fine, but something must

681
00:40:40.039 --> 00:40:46.039
have happened. Maybe I kicked the pipe. I don't know, Harry, Benji,

682
00:40:47.679 --> 00:40:51.199
listen to me before they come back in. They may

683
00:40:51.320 --> 00:40:54.559
say things about me. Your aunt's got some weird ideas

684
00:40:54.559 --> 00:40:57.480
about what happened. Don't listen to them, Banjie, don't listen

685
00:40:57.519 --> 00:40:57.840
to them.

686
00:40:58.960 --> 00:41:03.320
I won't hear. I love you, Angel. That's all that matters,

687
00:41:03.360 --> 00:41:03.679
isn't it.

688
00:41:04.920 --> 00:41:08.239
Yes, Yes, that's all that matters.

689
00:41:08.920 --> 00:41:09.400
What's wrong?

690
00:41:11.280 --> 00:41:11.960
Nothing here?

691
00:41:12.360 --> 00:41:13.159
You don't believe me.

692
00:41:14.320 --> 00:41:20.360
I do, Harry, I do believe you love me. That is,

693
00:41:20.480 --> 00:41:24.519
I want to believe you. I want to more than

694
00:41:24.559 --> 00:41:26.159
anything else in the world.

695
00:41:27.639 --> 00:41:28.280
You've got to.

696
00:41:30.000 --> 00:41:34.039
I will. Are we up or are we going to

697
00:41:34.119 --> 00:41:34.760
sleep some more?

698
00:41:35.000 --> 00:41:38.800
She's up, Doctor rupert as a lucky girl, a fine

699
00:41:38.880 --> 00:41:41.639
room for such an accident, big and drafted.

700
00:41:41.840 --> 00:41:43.840
Poor Pooky, my poor poo.

701
00:41:44.480 --> 00:41:45.840
I'm sorry, mother.

702
00:41:46.280 --> 00:41:48.840
It's too bad you didn't knock over the bed table sooner.

703
00:41:49.559 --> 00:41:51.079
Then it was soon enough, Thank Heaven.

704
00:41:52.199 --> 00:41:53.159
You should get some sleep.

705
00:41:53.239 --> 00:41:56.400
Mister Newton outside over a cup of coffee. And as

706
00:41:56.440 --> 00:41:59.840
for you, Angel, no more trouble while I'm gone.

707
00:42:00.199 --> 00:42:02.920
No, he must reassure him.

708
00:42:02.920 --> 00:42:06.320
Ajie, he's eaten with remorse disappointment.

709
00:42:06.400 --> 00:42:08.599
You mean he considers the accident his fault.

710
00:42:08.880 --> 00:42:11.320
Accident? You keep calling it an accident.

711
00:42:11.679 --> 00:42:15.760
Your anti Avangie is very disturbed and full of wild theories.

712
00:42:16.079 --> 00:42:21.239
There's no need to theorize. So the flame is online.

713
00:42:22.280 --> 00:42:26.679
I got up to get some water. Yes, the sleeping

714
00:42:26.840 --> 00:42:30.800
pill made me groggy. Must have stumbled on the gas

715
00:42:30.840 --> 00:42:35.920
house and pulled it out without realizing. I'm always doing

716
00:42:36.000 --> 00:42:36.639
things like that.

717
00:42:37.199 --> 00:42:37.960
Yes, you are.

718
00:42:38.440 --> 00:42:39.480
As long as I've known you.

719
00:42:40.760 --> 00:42:43.400
You know, those of us who go through life with a.

720
00:42:43.559 --> 00:42:48.280
Predisposition toward having accidents, we actually will them to happen.

721
00:42:49.079 --> 00:42:51.960
We who were thus disposed live closer to the edge

722
00:42:52.000 --> 00:42:52.920
of time than others.

723
00:42:53.480 --> 00:42:55.159
We walk in front of moving.

724
00:42:55.039 --> 00:42:57.159
Cars, We fall from high place.

725
00:42:57.320 --> 00:43:00.760
We are bitten by snakes and sucked in by a riptides.

726
00:43:01.159 --> 00:43:04.079
If there's poison oak, we will find it. There are

727
00:43:04.239 --> 00:43:08.079
live wires, we will touch them. We are wedded to calamity.

728
00:43:08.199 --> 00:43:12.480
We are indeed wedded to calamity. Indeed you may discount

729
00:43:12.519 --> 00:43:14.800
the other nonsense and be sure of the last.

730
00:43:21.559 --> 00:43:27.039
Wedded to calamity. No, now, I mustn't listen to such things.

731
00:43:27.360 --> 00:43:31.880
I mustn't think such things. How could I? When I

732
00:43:32.000 --> 00:43:35.880
saw the genuine concern of the fright in his face,

733
00:43:36.800 --> 00:43:40.280
and I heard the love in his voice in those

734
00:43:40.440 --> 00:43:44.400
days when I lay resting from my narrow escape, he

735
00:43:44.599 --> 00:43:49.400
was sweet, sweet enough to convince me I wasn't alone,

736
00:43:49.960 --> 00:43:53.280
not really, not even when he was away in San

737
00:43:53.360 --> 00:44:01.920
Francisco on business. Hello Darling, Oh, Darling, I've missed you

738
00:44:02.960 --> 00:44:05.360
San Francisco out as well, beyond the other side of

739
00:44:05.400 --> 00:44:08.920
the world. Oh no, darny, come home tonight.

740
00:44:10.039 --> 00:44:11.239
Well, well then.

741
00:44:11.320 --> 00:44:22.239
Try to oh please, Harry. Why And to eternity? Oh yes, darling, yes,

742
00:44:23.079 --> 00:44:30.239
I love you. And to eternity, yes, darling, yes, goodbye.

743
00:44:36.800 --> 00:44:43.039
But suddenly I was feeling alone again. And to eternity

744
00:44:43.159 --> 00:44:49.960
he said, what did he mean eternity? The word made

745
00:44:50.000 --> 00:44:50.639
me shut him.

746
00:44:55.679 --> 00:45:01.400
Hello, Hello, Benjie. You don't seem to recognize I'm Lenny Walden.

747
00:45:02.320 --> 00:45:03.000
Grace is friend.

748
00:45:03.079 --> 00:45:05.639
Oh, yes, yes, of course. Won't you come in?

749
00:45:06.039 --> 00:45:11.920
Thanks? Grace isn't here. No, I didn't really expect it

750
00:45:11.960 --> 00:45:12.119
to be.

751
00:45:12.199 --> 00:45:14.320
I just thought that you too.

752
00:45:14.480 --> 00:45:15.679
Haven't quarreled, have you?

753
00:45:16.119 --> 00:45:16.159
No?

754
00:45:17.559 --> 00:45:19.440
Oh? Yes, I guess so.

755
00:45:19.840 --> 00:45:20.599
Oh I'm sorry.

756
00:45:20.719 --> 00:45:24.639
Well it was my full jealous I'm in love with Grace,

757
00:45:24.719 --> 00:45:28.440
you know, I know. Well, I won't bother anymore with

758
00:45:28.519 --> 00:45:29.079
my problems.

759
00:45:30.079 --> 00:45:33.920
Do you care to tell me just what or who

760
00:45:34.039 --> 00:45:39.000
you are jealous of? Hi, I'd rather not, then, May

761
00:45:39.039 --> 00:45:45.480
I guess you're jealous of my husband? Well, don't be.

762
00:45:46.519 --> 00:45:49.760
My husband is very much in love with me. If anything,

763
00:45:49.880 --> 00:45:52.880
he merely tolerates the way Grace tags along after him

764
00:45:52.880 --> 00:45:54.159
and putters in real estate.

765
00:45:54.519 --> 00:45:57.199
I guess you're right, missus Newton is just that. When

766
00:45:57.239 --> 00:45:59.639
I saw them dancing, well, Grace didn't even tell me

767
00:45:59.719 --> 00:46:02.440
she was in town. Somebody saw them at the bandbox

768
00:46:02.480 --> 00:46:03.079
and called me.

769
00:46:03.159 --> 00:46:04.320
I guess I was.

770
00:46:04.320 --> 00:46:06.280
Steamed up and anxious to jump at conclusions.

771
00:46:06.880 --> 00:46:11.559
I'm an idiot, not at all, just a little hasty.

772
00:46:12.079 --> 00:46:13.519
I've got a hand it to you, Benjie.

773
00:46:14.519 --> 00:46:16.239
You're a lot more broadminder than I am.

774
00:46:17.039 --> 00:46:26.760
I envy you, envy, envy me. When I was so

775
00:46:27.000 --> 00:46:31.360
alone and frightened when he'd gone, I went upstairs to

776
00:46:31.480 --> 00:46:35.000
our room frantically. I looked through his luggage, went through

777
00:46:35.039 --> 00:46:38.400
his clothes, searching, searching for some clue, some clue to

778
00:46:38.440 --> 00:46:43.039
the man I married. There was no nothing, and I

779
00:46:43.159 --> 00:46:49.239
had to know now. I had to know. Long Bestance

780
00:46:49.559 --> 00:46:54.920
give me the Hotel Grovener, San Francisco, Thank you. I

781
00:46:55.199 --> 00:46:57.679
had to know. I had to talk to him, ask

782
00:46:57.760 --> 00:46:59.880
him to come home, and go to him anything any

783
00:47:03.400 --> 00:47:13.800
mister Newton, please room seven two four one moment, Hello, Hello.

784
00:47:14.519 --> 00:47:15.000
Who is this?

785
00:47:25.880 --> 00:47:32.079
It was Grace's voice. Without the slightest doubt, I ran

786
00:47:32.159 --> 00:47:37.079
out to my car Grace had answered that telephone in

787
00:47:37.239 --> 00:47:41.440
Harry's room, and I knew now, I was sure of it.

788
00:47:41.559 --> 00:47:45.800
All Harry had killed Susie. Whether it had been suicide

789
00:47:45.880 --> 00:47:48.760
or murder, he killed her, and in the same way

790
00:47:49.079 --> 00:47:49.960
he would kill me.

791
00:47:51.599 --> 00:47:54.719
Hey, hey, look at that that car better slower for

792
00:47:54.800 --> 00:47:55.199
that turn?

793
00:47:56.159 --> 00:47:56.800
Hey, Well.

794
00:48:10.159 --> 00:48:13.320
You see the sequence of events comes to full circle.

795
00:48:13.920 --> 00:48:16.880
It started with an automobile accident. Was it going to

796
00:48:17.039 --> 00:48:19.840
end with another one? At least this was one they

797
00:48:19.880 --> 00:48:24.039
couldn't blame on Harry Newton. Aanjie simply drove too fast,

798
00:48:24.559 --> 00:48:27.000
tried to take a short cut to San Francisco through

799
00:48:27.039 --> 00:48:30.880
a tree, rushing to her husband. In the end he

800
00:48:31.159 --> 00:48:33.599
had to rush to the emergency hospital to her.

801
00:48:34.679 --> 00:48:35.599
But she was all right.

802
00:48:37.719 --> 00:48:43.639
The indestructible Vanjie perennial accident case, always smelling about asceptics

803
00:48:43.679 --> 00:48:48.079
and painted with eyeline. I lay there between hospital sheets,

804
00:48:48.239 --> 00:48:50.840
pretending that the hyperdemic needle had put me to sleep,

805
00:48:51.960 --> 00:48:54.960
that I was listening to doctor Rupert as he talked

806
00:48:55.000 --> 00:48:56.000
to Harry and Aunt Moth.

807
00:48:57.000 --> 00:48:59.719
The night of your wife's first unfortunate experience.

808
00:49:00.000 --> 00:49:01.519
Had a vague suspicion that.

809
00:49:01.639 --> 00:49:05.639
The circumstances were not entirely accidental. What do you mean

810
00:49:06.320 --> 00:49:08.000
Banji has twice tried.

811
00:49:07.840 --> 00:49:08.800
To take her own life.

812
00:49:08.920 --> 00:49:09.639
I don't believe it.

813
00:49:10.079 --> 00:49:13.280
It's true people like Banjie. It is sometimes harder to

814
00:49:13.400 --> 00:49:17.519
find the dividing point between accident and suicide. There's a

815
00:49:17.599 --> 00:49:22.159
certain will to die, subconscious compulsion which invites disasters.

816
00:49:22.239 --> 00:49:23.280
Nonsense go on.

817
00:49:23.840 --> 00:49:26.119
In the matter of the gas heater, Aanjie said herself

818
00:49:26.199 --> 00:49:30.679
she pulled the flexible pipe by accident? Was that accident

819
00:49:31.119 --> 00:49:31.599
or intention?

820
00:49:31.840 --> 00:49:33.840
I don't believe she ever did it. It was he

821
00:49:34.000 --> 00:49:35.000
who really pulled the card.

822
00:49:35.199 --> 00:49:38.480
No, I think it was Banjie. She invited disaster again

823
00:49:38.519 --> 00:49:41.159
tonight driving a car off the road at high speed.

824
00:49:41.639 --> 00:49:44.480
Was it accident? But did she suddenly cease to care

825
00:49:44.559 --> 00:49:46.000
whether the car made that curve or not?

826
00:49:46.280 --> 00:49:48.519
Or did somebody temper with a steering were on her car?

827
00:49:48.679 --> 00:49:50.559
You'd better stop that, Andy, please.

828
00:49:50.719 --> 00:49:53.679
Martha know two that the tendency seems to run in

829
00:49:53.760 --> 00:49:56.280
her family. Her father stepped in front.

830
00:49:56.079 --> 00:49:56.880
Of a moving car.

831
00:49:57.159 --> 00:49:58.280
How do we know even that?

832
00:49:58.559 --> 00:50:01.119
And Susie leaped to her death off a or was pushed.

833
00:50:01.480 --> 00:50:04.400
Times Banjie was drawn to self destruction were kinds of

834
00:50:04.760 --> 00:50:07.880
mental depression it's got to work to save her.

835
00:50:08.239 --> 00:50:11.320
I'll do anything, doctor, anything you say.

836
00:50:11.400 --> 00:50:12.840
And'll be a lot for you to do.

837
00:50:14.199 --> 00:50:17.239
You have it all figured out, haven't you, doctor. And

838
00:50:17.400 --> 00:50:21.039
you're right, of course some for that about mental depressions,

839
00:50:21.159 --> 00:50:26.119
that's not what causes it. It's the fear of being alone,

840
00:50:26.360 --> 00:50:29.880
of that being loved, of not being loved. By Harry Newton.

841
00:50:30.840 --> 00:50:34.559
I heard what he said, he do anything anything, But

842
00:50:34.679 --> 00:50:38.079
he didn't fool me. I know he wants grace. I'm

843
00:50:38.119 --> 00:50:38.639
in his way.

844
00:50:39.079 --> 00:50:39.440
I know.

845
00:50:41.920 --> 00:50:42.079
Now.

846
00:50:43.519 --> 00:50:48.079
Oh it's stifling in here, it's so closer. I must

847
00:50:48.119 --> 00:50:49.079
have some air.

848
00:50:57.000 --> 00:50:57.159
Now.

849
00:50:58.360 --> 00:51:00.960
There was a little racist shop lad here a little

850
00:51:01.000 --> 00:51:05.559
while ago. They used it to make a blood test. Ah,

851
00:51:06.239 --> 00:51:12.199
but it's gone. Don't matter. In the laboratory just off

852
00:51:12.239 --> 00:51:15.760
my room. He'll be a drinking glass if I can

853
00:51:15.840 --> 00:51:22.519
break that. That too much noise? Glass cut? Yes, glass?

854
00:51:25.239 --> 00:51:27.519
Oh what is it? What's happened?

855
00:51:28.559 --> 00:51:29.199
She's gone up?

856
00:51:29.960 --> 00:51:32.119
Stopper, Stop her, she can't have gone far.

857
00:51:32.679 --> 00:51:35.280
Notified that the highway patrol and tell mister Newton.

858
00:51:35.400 --> 00:51:39.159
Yes, we've got to find her, to protect her from herself.

859
00:51:38.880 --> 00:51:39.400
And from him.

860
00:51:39.960 --> 00:51:43.400
What don't you see You've given Harrying Newton the foundest

861
00:51:43.440 --> 00:51:44.239
alibi in the world.

862
00:51:44.480 --> 00:51:51.079
You're assurance for Dante has bent on suicide. Now what

863
00:51:51.239 --> 00:51:54.199
did that Martha mean by that? This sound is talible?

864
00:51:56.440 --> 00:51:58.920
I pressed close to the bathroom wall with one shoulder

865
00:51:59.000 --> 00:52:01.679
tucked in the corner. They didn't think to look there,

866
00:52:02.559 --> 00:52:06.320
but some one was bound too soon tell a vista.

867
00:52:07.000 --> 00:52:07.400
That was it.

868
00:52:08.239 --> 00:52:10.280
If I was going to die, I wanted to go

869
00:52:10.440 --> 00:52:14.679
home to die. I waited till my room was empty again,

870
00:52:14.760 --> 00:52:18.159
and then I went to the open window. If I

871
00:52:18.239 --> 00:52:19.800
could get to my car.

872
00:52:34.360 --> 00:52:34.639
Home.

873
00:52:36.280 --> 00:52:40.400
It was right. I was right to come home. It

874
00:52:40.639 --> 00:52:44.000
was going on morning, but it was still dark. The

875
00:52:44.119 --> 00:52:51.480
house was pitch black. I went inside. There was a telephone.

876
00:52:52.639 --> 00:52:55.639
A stray ray of moonlight shone on it. I could

877
00:52:55.679 --> 00:53:04.199
see it plainly, and I remembered, and to eternity.

878
00:53:04.039 --> 00:53:07.679
To have and to hold until death, to us part

879
00:53:08.480 --> 00:53:12.360
with this ring. Ivy wed this ring and three passes

880
00:53:12.400 --> 00:53:13.280
at a crap table.

881
00:53:17.679 --> 00:53:23.239
I went upstairs. My room was cold, dark. One of

882
00:53:23.280 --> 00:53:26.000
his shirts was still on the floor where I'd thrown

883
00:53:26.079 --> 00:53:29.760
it in my frantic search of his things. It was

884
00:53:29.800 --> 00:53:33.480
a sports shirt. He said he wouldn't need a sports

885
00:53:33.559 --> 00:53:38.440
shirt in San Francisco. I hung it up in the closet.

886
00:53:39.559 --> 00:53:43.119
The room was in order. Otherwise there was water above

887
00:53:43.199 --> 00:53:47.599
my bed and the sleeping pills. I emptied the bottle

888
00:53:47.639 --> 00:53:55.000
into my hand and counted them one, two, three, four,

889
00:53:55.480 --> 00:53:59.880
Not enough. I said it a loud The words boomed inside.

890
00:54:01.800 --> 00:54:02.599
Said shut it.

891
00:54:04.239 --> 00:54:07.760
Not a sound, not even the stirring of Pooky in

892
00:54:07.840 --> 00:54:13.159
a cage. I looked toward the empty cage and shutting

893
00:54:13.480 --> 00:54:18.320
in the sun chill. Yes, there was the gas heater

894
00:54:18.480 --> 00:54:23.280
close by. I crossed over to it quickly, kneeled down,

895
00:54:23.360 --> 00:54:25.880
and turned on the gas.

896
00:54:26.320 --> 00:54:26.920
Get a blanket.

897
00:54:27.079 --> 00:54:32.079
It's a murder coffee or coffee kill her, danger blanket, murder.

898
00:54:32.199 --> 00:54:32.599
Kill her.

899
00:54:36.480 --> 00:54:38.639
I held the match in the heat and watched it

900
00:54:38.840 --> 00:54:44.119
flare off, warm and alive. I was beginning to enjoy

901
00:54:44.440 --> 00:54:46.000
my barrow time.

902
00:54:48.519 --> 00:54:50.079
Oh that was Harry.

903
00:54:51.199 --> 00:54:53.880
Suddenly, in a burst of panic, I knew what I

904
00:54:54.039 --> 00:54:57.079
Martin meant. Doctor Rupert had given him the sound of

905
00:54:57.119 --> 00:55:00.320
Telibi in the world, the assurance I was going to

906
00:55:00.519 --> 00:55:04.480
commit suicide. He'd come to make sure I didn't change

907
00:55:04.559 --> 00:55:09.280
my mind. It was dark, I could barely make out

908
00:55:09.400 --> 00:55:11.920
the shadowy bulk of him, so he looked at the

909
00:55:12.000 --> 00:55:20.519
car I'd come in. Then he entered the house, walking Pastie.

910
00:55:20.840 --> 00:55:21.280
Benjie.

911
00:55:21.360 --> 00:55:26.639
I know you're here, BENI I had to have time

912
00:55:26.679 --> 00:55:29.599
to think. I had to think out what it all meant.

913
00:55:31.360 --> 00:55:32.199
Bengie, come here.

914
00:55:33.400 --> 00:55:35.320
I want to talk to you, but I couldn't think.

915
00:55:35.960 --> 00:55:39.719
The sound of his voice frightened me all at once.

916
00:55:39.760 --> 00:55:45.400
I felt terribly depressed. The boat was sinking, the sides

917
00:55:45.400 --> 00:55:49.639
were caving in. All I wanted was to get off.

918
00:55:50.920 --> 00:55:56.119
I slipped down the stairs outside, through the rose garden

919
00:55:56.840 --> 00:56:04.519
to the teahouse. The night was turning milky. Vision was

920
00:56:04.639 --> 00:56:10.079
lengthening by the moment. I couldn't see the surf directly

921
00:56:10.199 --> 00:56:16.159
below me, but I could hear it. I thought of Susie,

922
00:56:17.719 --> 00:56:21.280
and I leaned on the rail above the retaining wall.

923
00:56:23.199 --> 00:56:28.559
And then then I heard his footsteps approaching through the

924
00:56:28.679 --> 00:56:30.760
rose garden through the morning.

925
00:56:30.840 --> 00:56:35.960
Miss good Morning, not talking this morning, missus Newton.

926
00:56:37.760 --> 00:56:39.239
I can't see you, but I know you're there.

927
00:56:40.159 --> 00:56:41.480
Don't come any closer.

928
00:56:42.159 --> 00:56:44.880
Is your hand on the rail angel? Are you poised

929
00:56:44.920 --> 00:56:48.840
and ready or are you hoping for a reprieve Something

930
00:56:48.880 --> 00:56:50.880
I'll say that will turn to spare to ecstasy.

931
00:56:51.639 --> 00:56:56.679
Don't come any closer, Harry, I mean it, I'll jump.

932
00:56:56.760 --> 00:57:00.400
And what's holding you back? That's red I'll lingering hope.

933
00:57:00.519 --> 00:57:10.239
Yes, yes, sure you know it is, Harry. What have

934
00:57:10.440 --> 00:57:11.679
you come to kill me?

935
00:57:12.039 --> 00:57:16.559
No, you have a perfect alibi, Doctor Rubert said. I

936
00:57:16.679 --> 00:57:20.719
was a potential suicide. I know if you push me

937
00:57:20.840 --> 00:57:25.559
off under the rocks below, as you pushed Susie because

938
00:57:25.599 --> 00:57:28.239
you were through with it, it'll be just as perfectly crime,

939
00:57:28.639 --> 00:57:30.320
an obvious suicide.

940
00:57:30.039 --> 00:57:31.599
With Burghard's wife spoke to you.

941
00:57:31.960 --> 00:57:33.400
Yes, she could have been lying.

942
00:57:33.639 --> 00:57:33.880
I know.

943
00:57:34.440 --> 00:57:36.920
And you called my hotel last night, didn't you? And

944
00:57:37.000 --> 00:57:39.239
when Grace answered you hung up. I figured that out

945
00:57:39.280 --> 00:57:42.000
and called you back with a beautiful explanation. Ready, but

946
00:57:42.119 --> 00:57:44.280
I've gotten Lenny Walden and Grace together to patch up

947
00:57:44.280 --> 00:57:44.760
for a difference.

948
00:57:44.840 --> 00:57:48.039
You're lying If you think so, why don't you I will?

949
00:57:48.360 --> 00:57:49.320
I won't let you push me.

950
00:57:49.559 --> 00:57:51.599
I'm not going to push you. How do I know

951
00:57:52.079 --> 00:57:55.000
you don't? The act and the proof for both one.

952
00:57:55.960 --> 00:57:58.440
If I push you, I must want you dead. If

953
00:57:58.480 --> 00:57:59.960
I don't push you, I must want you a lie.

954
00:58:00.159 --> 00:58:00.599
Isn't that so?

955
00:58:00.920 --> 00:58:01.079
Yes?

956
00:58:01.800 --> 00:58:02.960
You have to stand there and.

957
00:58:02.960 --> 00:58:07.480
Wait for the proof. Jump if you want to.

958
00:58:07.519 --> 00:58:09.719
But I assure you, Manjie, the proof is worth the anguish.

959
00:58:10.320 --> 00:58:10.719
This is it.

960
00:58:11.199 --> 00:58:14.519
Ireen Bergard was lying or she wasn't lying. I killed Susie,

961
00:58:14.599 --> 00:58:16.360
or I didn't I want you or I don't want you.

962
00:58:16.800 --> 00:58:21.440
Total proof, clear, concisely quick, Harry.

963
00:58:23.960 --> 00:58:26.239
Don't did you come any close around John.

964
00:58:35.719 --> 00:58:42.400
Darling? I got to help you. That's all that matters.

965
00:58:43.639 --> 00:58:47.400
Everything I said was true, It's easily proved.

966
00:58:51.239 --> 00:58:54.760
This is all the proof A woman with God.

967
00:58:56.000 --> 00:59:03.280
To happen to Hall from the day, Hall hold me, Harry,

968
00:59:04.800 --> 00:59:05.440
I will.

969
00:59:26.599 --> 00:59:29.920
Our grateful thanks to Robert Ryan and Ruth Warick.

970
00:59:30.320 --> 00:59:33.039
You gave us the excellent performances we expected from an

971
00:59:33.039 --> 00:59:36.480
actress whose talent and versatility we've applauded many times before,

972
00:59:37.239 --> 00:59:40.519
and from an actor whose outstanding work in Crossfire has

973
00:59:40.639 --> 00:59:42.960
deservedly won him an Academy Award nomination.

974
00:59:45.760 --> 00:59:49.760
Well, my dear, now that we've looked into what is

975
00:59:50.920 --> 00:59:58.440
beyond reason, it's gotten my mind wandering more than usual?

976
00:59:59.480 --> 00:59:59.840
Or what's that?

977
01:00:00.920 --> 01:00:01.079
Ah?

978
01:00:01.239 --> 01:00:07.440
Yes, not much has changed. Indeed, sometimes I wonder if,

979
01:00:07.559 --> 01:00:16.960
being a sort of dreamer imagining circumstance after circumstance, perhaps

980
01:00:17.159 --> 01:00:23.719
my mind might fully escape me. I'd lose control of it.

981
01:00:24.599 --> 01:00:30.480
Perhaps I'd become in a way the derelict.

982
01:00:32.400 --> 01:00:37.880
Tired of the everyday grind ever dream of a life

983
01:00:37.960 --> 01:00:43.880
of romantic adventure, want to get away from it all.

984
01:00:45.320 --> 01:00:46.000
We offer you.

985
01:00:48.000 --> 01:00:56.719
Escape Escape Transcribe to free you from the four walls

986
01:00:56.719 --> 01:00:59.880
of today for a half hour of high adventure.

987
01:01:03.079 --> 01:01:17.119
Who you are aboard a dead ship, drifting aimlessly in

988
01:01:17.239 --> 01:01:21.480
the endless reaches of the Indian Ocean, while the three

989
01:01:21.639 --> 01:01:26.280
men who are your companions, unaware of your innermost thoughts,

990
01:01:27.440 --> 01:01:32.039
are making their own plans for the division of treasure, which,

991
01:01:32.199 --> 01:01:36.519
because you are a woman, can mean life or death

992
01:01:37.599 --> 01:01:37.880
for you.

993
01:01:38.039 --> 01:01:42.800
All listen now as Escape brings you Larry Roman's unusual

994
01:01:42.920 --> 01:01:44.719
story The Derelict.

995
01:02:12.280 --> 01:02:16.800
I'm rich now good looking too. A lot of guys

996
01:02:16.840 --> 01:02:20.280
have said so twenty nine and that's on the square.

997
01:02:21.679 --> 01:02:23.679
Dark eyes, dark hair, and I've been a dancer all

998
01:02:23.760 --> 01:02:25.519
my life, So you can figure out for yourself how

999
01:02:25.559 --> 01:02:28.840
I'm built. I'm not telling you this out of conceit

1000
01:02:28.920 --> 01:02:31.480
or anything. I just want you to know what you'd

1001
01:02:31.519 --> 01:02:34.679
have if you had me, And you can have me,

1002
01:02:34.760 --> 01:02:37.920
any one of you. All you gotta do is come

1003
01:02:37.960 --> 01:02:47.360
out and get me. A couple of weeks ago, I

1004
01:02:47.440 --> 01:02:50.559
climbed aboard the freighter Capricorn out of Singapore for Suez

1005
01:02:51.079 --> 01:02:54.119
with a load of porcelain and six passengers. Had a

1006
01:02:54.199 --> 01:02:56.199
job waiting for me in Cairo, but I took a

1007
01:02:56.280 --> 01:03:00.199
ship instead of a plane. One for the dough too,

1008
01:03:00.239 --> 01:03:03.119
because I was in no hurry to start working. The

1009
01:03:03.239 --> 01:03:10.079
honest truth was my feet were giving me fits. Four

1010
01:03:10.159 --> 01:03:12.559
days out of the Indian Ocean, a monsoon started up

1011
01:03:12.599 --> 01:03:15.159
and the Capricorn just busted the pieces on the reefs.

1012
01:03:15.760 --> 01:03:17.880
I don't know how long I floated around, hanging onto

1013
01:03:17.920 --> 01:03:20.440
some wood until they hauled me into a lifeboat.

1014
01:03:23.119 --> 01:03:31.840
All right, now, easy with her gently on the side, very.

1015
01:03:34.440 --> 01:03:35.800
Clean off the canvas.

1016
01:03:36.000 --> 01:03:37.400
You set it out.

1017
01:03:38.559 --> 01:03:40.039
I'm all right.

1018
01:03:42.599 --> 01:03:49.400
Here, this jacket round here, I'm okay, no kidding, the jacket, thanks.

1019
01:03:49.519 --> 01:03:51.079
And clamp your legs under the seat.

1020
01:03:55.840 --> 01:03:59.800
Everyone, all right, everything more light here, some mic.

1021
01:04:00.280 --> 01:04:02.920
Okay, they're just going to have to ride it out.

1022
01:04:16.639 --> 01:04:20.159
You are right sure, not sick anymore?

1023
01:04:20.760 --> 01:04:23.559
All done? Kind of silly, wasn't it?

1024
01:04:24.320 --> 01:04:24.840
Like a kid?

1025
01:04:25.239 --> 01:04:26.559
No, not so silly.

1026
01:04:27.280 --> 01:04:30.280
May I do something for you, my dear?

1027
01:04:31.000 --> 01:04:33.159
No, thanks, really, okay?

1028
01:04:33.920 --> 01:04:36.119
Kithman and Van Kidman's my name.

1029
01:04:37.000 --> 01:04:38.119
It was my cargo.

1030
01:04:38.440 --> 01:04:39.599
Porcelain on the ship.

1031
01:04:40.000 --> 01:04:42.679
I'm Mark Bullman comre.

1032
01:04:43.280 --> 01:04:47.719
Hello, this is lou wa is it wahlu? My name

1033
01:04:47.920 --> 01:04:54.000
is Lua Chinese. Part of the crew. Well some predicaments, uh,

1034
01:04:54.880 --> 01:04:58.320
others all drown, I suppose, or a drift like us

1035
01:04:58.440 --> 01:05:01.400
all drown. I think we were a lucky one.

1036
01:05:01.599 --> 01:05:06.960
S are amunt well? Spirits up, everybody love. We have

1037
01:05:07.119 --> 01:05:10.920
water for a few days, so that is fine. Sure well,

1038
01:05:11.079 --> 01:05:13.400
people do not get lost that see these days, not

1039
01:05:13.559 --> 01:05:15.840
with airplanes and so much ocean travel.

1040
01:05:15.960 --> 01:05:19.039
All right, we'll set up watches and take turns trying

1041
01:05:19.079 --> 01:05:19.840
to catch fish.

1042
01:05:20.960 --> 01:05:22.119
Who can think of who?

1043
01:05:22.440 --> 01:05:27.400
Now, there's always later. You take the first watch. Keepman, Luan, are.

1044
01:05:27.599 --> 01:05:29.800
Are you setting yourself up as captain?

1045
01:05:29.960 --> 01:05:30.119
Mike?

1046
01:05:30.880 --> 01:05:32.079
I haven't thought of it that way.

1047
01:05:32.599 --> 01:05:35.239
I want to be captain. I've always wanted to run

1048
01:05:35.320 --> 01:05:35.679
a ship.

1049
01:05:35.800 --> 01:05:38.280
All I don't care who's captain. But someone's got to watch,

1050
01:05:38.320 --> 01:05:39.360
and someone's got to fish.

1051
01:05:39.599 --> 01:05:43.599
Very well, we all got jobs to do. Oh oh oh,

1052
01:05:43.840 --> 01:05:46.039
you fish, Mike will watch.

1053
01:05:46.119 --> 01:05:48.400
I shall tend to the water, pushing out the proper

1054
01:05:48.440 --> 01:05:52.000
romance and corra, my dear, you shall sit there and

1055
01:05:52.599 --> 01:05:53.519
and be woomingly.

1056
01:05:53.920 --> 01:05:56.599
The water sits in the middle so everyone can see it.

1057
01:05:57.559 --> 01:05:59.320
Cora helps out like everyone else.

1058
01:06:00.159 --> 01:06:01.599
Mike, just tell you what you want.

1059
01:06:02.079 --> 01:06:05.639
Settle, mister Keapman, Settle, Captain Bauman.

1060
01:06:15.400 --> 01:06:19.000
I got a long look at them. Keapman big around

1061
01:06:19.039 --> 01:06:23.679
the middle and chest, white, shiny face, powerful arms. Mike

1062
01:06:23.880 --> 01:06:27.320
middle size, not bad looking, with clear blue eyes. Kind

1063
01:06:27.400 --> 01:06:31.239
of girl ought to have blue small good at catching fish.

1064
01:06:33.000 --> 01:06:35.519
So there we were three men and me out a tub,

1065
01:06:35.599 --> 01:06:40.280
bobbing around the Indian Ocean, drifting. Then on the afternoon

1066
01:06:40.320 --> 01:06:42.000
of a second day, look at.

1067
01:06:43.679 --> 01:06:45.440
Harship coming right for us.

1068
01:06:45.519 --> 01:06:46.159
Mike, look at it.

1069
01:06:46.639 --> 01:06:48.880
I told you, I told you be found.

1070
01:06:49.199 --> 01:06:53.440
Hello, Hello, save your breath. It's miles oone.

1071
01:06:53.480 --> 01:06:53.559
Oh.

1072
01:06:53.639 --> 01:06:55.960
We rode to it, the oars well the arse.

1073
01:07:12.800 --> 01:07:15.360
It was dusk by the time we got aboard. She

1074
01:07:15.559 --> 01:07:18.920
was a three masted sailing ship. All her lifeboats were

1075
01:07:18.960 --> 01:07:21.760
gone and junk was all over a deck, seaweed and

1076
01:07:21.840 --> 01:07:25.360
ocean stuff, so you knew she'd been under once an

1077
01:07:25.400 --> 01:07:30.039
old bargantine. Mike said, a ghost chip her deck cabins

1078
01:07:30.039 --> 01:07:33.320
were carved in, and she stanked from rocked. We looked

1079
01:07:33.360 --> 01:07:37.119
her over and down on the captain's quarters. We saw

1080
01:07:37.199 --> 01:07:40.840
it first, a couple of human skeletons and a pile

1081
01:07:40.880 --> 01:07:44.000
of junk that was once closed in a metal box

1082
01:07:44.480 --> 01:07:47.480
near the skeletons open and in it were bricks of

1083
01:07:47.599 --> 01:07:50.599
greenish yellow stuff. Mike knew right off what it was.

1084
01:07:51.239 --> 01:07:55.559
Gold cold, impossible, it cannot be that's gold, or let

1085
01:07:55.639 --> 01:07:57.199
us in gold before sure it is?

1086
01:07:57.559 --> 01:07:59.000
God is.

1087
01:08:00.480 --> 01:08:00.880
Feel it?

1088
01:08:01.760 --> 01:08:02.119
Horror?

1089
01:08:02.599 --> 01:08:04.239
Twenty thirty pounds a brick.

1090
01:08:05.119 --> 01:08:07.960
That's a fortune, no kidding how much?

1091
01:08:08.559 --> 01:08:11.800
I don't know, but the fortune easily a great amount.

1092
01:08:11.960 --> 01:08:16.119
Easily Shut the box, featment the silage laws. It's ours.

1093
01:08:16.319 --> 01:08:19.239
If we bring it in, we will. We've got another problem.

1094
01:08:19.399 --> 01:08:21.359
Let's tell you you do not get lost at see

1095
01:08:21.399 --> 01:08:23.439
these days. This is nineteen fifty three. You do not

1096
01:08:23.520 --> 01:08:25.439
get lost at see you in nineteen fifty.

1097
01:08:26.560 --> 01:08:28.159
Shut the box. It won't swim off?

1098
01:08:28.439 --> 01:08:28.760
Shud it?

1099
01:08:29.079 --> 01:08:30.680
Who are you to tell me what to do?

1100
01:08:30.920 --> 01:08:31.680
Stop at you too?

1101
01:08:32.239 --> 01:08:34.399
Squabble, squabble like a couple of chorus girls.

1102
01:08:35.159 --> 01:08:39.720
Ah sorry, I apologize, all right.

1103
01:08:40.640 --> 01:08:42.720
Now, let's check the galley. You want to figure out

1104
01:08:42.800 --> 01:08:43.680
why to start a fire.

1105
01:08:44.359 --> 01:08:46.760
What about the skeletons?

1106
01:08:47.239 --> 01:08:47.800
What about them?

1107
01:08:48.399 --> 01:08:50.439
You should get them overboard. I do not like to

1108
01:08:50.720 --> 01:08:51.920
share the ship with them.

1109
01:08:52.039 --> 01:08:52.960
You do what you want.

1110
01:08:53.199 --> 01:08:56.079
You throw them overboard, Mike, I wouldn't.

1111
01:08:55.760 --> 01:08:56.600
Care to touch them.

1112
01:08:57.039 --> 01:09:00.399
Other things come first, that is right, And before we

1113
01:09:00.520 --> 01:09:04.680
do anything, don't you think we should have an understanding.

1114
01:09:05.439 --> 01:09:07.079
About what the gold?

1115
01:09:08.640 --> 01:09:11.680
What's there to understand? There are four of us, we

1116
01:09:11.800 --> 01:09:13.520
bring it in it split four ways.

1117
01:09:13.359 --> 01:09:14.000
All the ways.

1118
01:09:14.159 --> 01:09:16.960
Yeah, then I have the right. Now you go to

1119
01:09:17.039 --> 01:09:19.439
the galley, Mic, I will stay here.

1120
01:09:19.560 --> 01:09:21.439
I want to country gold.

1121
01:09:23.000 --> 01:09:27.960
All right, No, I'll stay down here if you don't mind.

1122
01:09:29.119 --> 01:09:33.279
I'd like to know how much there is too, honest

1123
01:09:33.319 --> 01:09:34.880
to Pete, I don't know why I said it. I

1124
01:09:35.000 --> 01:09:36.840
wasn't thinking. It just came out.

1125
01:09:38.720 --> 01:09:38.880
Well.

1126
01:09:38.920 --> 01:09:40.840
It rained that night and we collected a lot of

1127
01:09:41.239 --> 01:09:45.079
clean fresh water. Next day it was real sunny and warm.

1128
01:09:45.800 --> 01:09:48.239
We cleaned the ship up a bit. All of a

1129
01:09:48.279 --> 01:09:51.560
sudden I got the feeling how funny things were a

1130
01:09:51.680 --> 01:09:57.119
drift at sea on a ghost ship. No, we had food, water, sun.

1131
01:09:58.640 --> 01:10:00.439
At times. It was almost like a your.

1132
01:10:00.359 --> 01:10:08.399
Cruise, good morning morning sleep well.

1133
01:10:08.960 --> 01:10:11.760
Not too good, of course. The place you fixed up

1134
01:10:11.800 --> 01:10:12.920
for me was real nice, but.

1135
01:10:14.600 --> 01:10:14.800
Well.

1136
01:10:14.880 --> 01:10:19.000
I kept thinking about things. Cora Moor from San Diego

1137
01:10:19.119 --> 01:10:22.760
with a jackpot. You know you don't seem too.

1138
01:10:22.680 --> 01:10:25.479
Happy about it, eh, First problems.

1139
01:10:25.520 --> 01:10:29.760
First, we'll get found. Keepman's right. You don't get lost

1140
01:10:29.800 --> 01:10:32.840
at sea these days. Ship is bound acrosses.

1141
01:10:34.199 --> 01:10:35.720
Isn't it Sure?

1142
01:10:36.800 --> 01:10:40.560
So then we'll all be rich and happy. You still

1143
01:10:40.560 --> 01:10:41.520
don't feel good about it.

1144
01:10:42.439 --> 01:10:46.199
I remember once, when I was a kid, I reached

1145
01:10:46.239 --> 01:10:48.680
for a part in a dice games. My winning, that's fair.

1146
01:10:49.800 --> 01:10:51.720
I got the back of my hand ripped open with

1147
01:10:51.760 --> 01:10:54.319
a knife. I never got the winnings.

1148
01:10:55.319 --> 01:11:00.199
I see count of your chickens, that's it? But he

1149
01:11:00.279 --> 01:11:03.760
does that? Look at me. I was gonna be a

1150
01:11:03.840 --> 01:11:08.000
ballet dancer. I was a ballet dancer in my mind.

1151
01:11:08.039 --> 01:11:12.159
I mean, purowets and all that. Who knew I was

1152
01:11:12.199 --> 01:11:13.520
gonna end up a fan dancer?

1153
01:11:14.279 --> 01:11:15.399
But that's not so bad.

1154
01:11:15.840 --> 01:11:20.920
No oh, well, what are you gonna do with your

1155
01:11:20.960 --> 01:11:23.399
share of the gold? I mean, if we bring it in.

1156
01:11:24.039 --> 01:11:28.880
Go back to Australia, get a runch. See sounds like work.

1157
01:11:30.079 --> 01:11:31.880
You won't have to work. You'll have enough.

1158
01:11:32.199 --> 01:11:32.760
I don't mind.

1159
01:11:33.039 --> 01:11:37.560
Morning morning, HU find this morning?

1160
01:11:38.560 --> 01:11:39.479
Where's walloo?

1161
01:11:39.960 --> 01:11:40.199
Lou?

1162
01:11:40.399 --> 01:11:43.479
Why it's making breakfast this morning?

1163
01:11:43.600 --> 01:11:47.399
I would like fish for breakfast. Have him make fish.

1164
01:11:49.239 --> 01:11:52.239
I feel good. I slept well. I always knew the

1165
01:11:52.399 --> 01:11:55.359
rich slept well, no matter what they tried to tell you. Yeah,

1166
01:11:56.680 --> 01:11:58.439
I see the skeletons are gone.

1167
01:11:58.920 --> 01:11:59.920
I tossed them overside.

1168
01:12:00.920 --> 01:12:01.680
Thank you, Mike.

1169
01:12:02.439 --> 01:12:05.399
We want found a barrel of nails. We're gonna board

1170
01:12:05.520 --> 01:12:10.520
up some cabin holes after we eat. You'll help, certainly, I'll.

1171
01:12:10.399 --> 01:12:17.199
See a lighter Cora, E surly fellow. Well you look

1172
01:12:17.279 --> 01:12:21.079
lovely this morning, my dear, A fresh look the sea area.

1173
01:12:22.720 --> 01:12:24.279
You are a beautiful girl.

1174
01:12:25.000 --> 01:12:28.039
Sure I'll get better looking to you the longer word.

1175
01:12:28.199 --> 01:12:28.399
See.

1176
01:12:30.800 --> 01:12:34.680
Hey, Cora, my dear, I've been doing some calculations in

1177
01:12:34.800 --> 01:12:38.880
regard to our wealth. If the bars weigh twenty pounds apiece,

1178
01:12:39.199 --> 01:12:41.239
and since there are one hundred of them, we have

1179
01:12:41.760 --> 01:12:44.319
twenty by twelve by one hundred by thirty five the

1180
01:12:44.439 --> 01:12:47.439
value of gold for arms in dollars eight hundred and

1181
01:12:47.920 --> 01:12:52.039
forty thousand. My a lot of meat and potatoes, Ah,

1182
01:12:52.560 --> 01:12:57.079
Phil mignon, pheasant pomp and no almondin what's that?

1183
01:12:58.119 --> 01:12:59.520
Something very delicious?

1184
01:13:00.800 --> 01:13:00.960
Now?

1185
01:13:01.640 --> 01:13:04.319
Suppose the bar weighs twenty five pounds.

1186
01:13:04.560 --> 01:13:08.479
One million dollars a million bucks.

1187
01:13:08.600 --> 01:13:10.760
If the gold is sold at Macau, where the market

1188
01:13:10.880 --> 01:13:14.640
is free, say fifty dollars an ounce, one million five

1189
01:13:14.800 --> 01:13:15.680
hundred thousand.

1190
01:13:16.079 --> 01:13:17.439
Oh what keeps getting bigger?

1191
01:13:17.640 --> 01:13:22.039
Matter of multiplication. Multiplication is a wonderful thing. It makes

1192
01:13:22.159 --> 01:13:28.479
everything grow. Division, however, is not so wonderful.

1193
01:13:29.800 --> 01:13:30.319
What do you mean?

1194
01:13:30.640 --> 01:13:34.840
Well, take a large satisfactory number and divide, say by four.

1195
01:13:35.920 --> 01:13:40.199
What are you left with a small unsatisfactory number?

1196
01:13:41.439 --> 01:13:42.359
Do you follow me?

1197
01:13:43.439 --> 01:13:43.600
Now?

1198
01:13:45.800 --> 01:13:49.359
Mulley to yourself, my dear, I'm sure it will come

1199
01:13:49.520 --> 01:13:49.760
to you.

1200
01:13:54.920 --> 01:13:56.520
Sure I knew what he was getting at, but I

1201
01:13:56.600 --> 01:13:59.960
wasn't letting on. Sometimes it pays to play dumb.

1202
01:14:01.920 --> 01:14:02.079
Well.

1203
01:14:02.159 --> 01:14:04.319
The day went on as usual, our ship drifting and

1204
01:14:04.439 --> 01:14:08.800
us not seeing anything but the water and sky. And

1205
01:14:08.880 --> 01:14:11.479
then that night, laying in my bunk, suddenly began to

1206
01:14:11.560 --> 01:14:15.600
think of something. I don't know why. There I was,

1207
01:14:15.680 --> 01:14:19.640
all of a sudden thinking about Keatman, those ideas of

1208
01:14:19.760 --> 01:14:24.199
his on multiplication and division. It just jolded me out

1209
01:14:24.199 --> 01:14:26.159
of my bed. I ran out on deck. Mike came

1210
01:14:26.199 --> 01:14:27.760
from one way, Keepman from the other one. We met

1211
01:14:27.760 --> 01:14:28.279
at the railing.

1212
01:14:28.439 --> 01:14:32.239
Blu wah oo wah, Where are you no need to

1213
01:14:32.439 --> 01:14:33.119
shout more?

1214
01:14:34.359 --> 01:14:40.560
Look a few feet from us, the railing was all

1215
01:14:40.640 --> 01:14:44.560
ripped away. When you ride off, lou wah was overboard

1216
01:14:44.960 --> 01:14:46.920
we could see the fin of a great shark cut

1217
01:14:47.000 --> 01:14:49.359
the dark water and disappear.

1218
01:15:00.079 --> 01:15:02.199
We will return to escape in just a moment.

1219
01:15:02.279 --> 01:15:02.960
But first.

1220
01:15:05.520 --> 01:15:07.760
You should not have leaned against the railing. The wood

1221
01:15:07.880 --> 01:15:08.399
is rotten.

1222
01:15:08.920 --> 01:15:10.399
What makes you think he leaned?

1223
01:15:10.920 --> 01:15:14.720
The ship's tossing, then it threw him against the side.

1224
01:15:15.279 --> 01:15:18.479
Lou with a sailor, it's a calm see he could

1225
01:15:18.520 --> 01:15:19.720
keep his feet in this ocean.

1226
01:15:19.920 --> 01:15:22.439
I don't understand you, Mike. How else could they have

1227
01:15:22.520 --> 01:15:23.359
gone overboard?

1228
01:15:23.800 --> 01:15:24.520
Other ways?

1229
01:15:24.960 --> 01:15:25.960
I can't imagine.

1230
01:15:26.239 --> 01:15:28.119
Look do we have to stand around talking about it?

1231
01:15:28.319 --> 01:15:28.439
Oh?

1232
01:15:28.479 --> 01:15:30.840
Of course not, my dear, accidents do happen.

1233
01:15:31.079 --> 01:15:34.079
There's no point, Kateman. You watch your step?

1234
01:15:35.000 --> 01:15:36.600
Oh what could you mean by that?

1235
01:15:37.039 --> 01:15:37.279
Mike?

1236
01:15:37.760 --> 01:15:40.720
Just watch your step, that's all. I don't know what

1237
01:15:40.840 --> 01:15:43.079
happened to Leuile, but you just watch.

1238
01:15:42.960 --> 01:15:46.960
Your step, as you say, Captain Boma.

1239
01:15:47.239 --> 01:15:49.800
Come on, coy, I won't get back to okay.

1240
01:15:54.399 --> 01:15:57.319
Mike walked me back. I had my chance to do

1241
01:15:57.439 --> 01:15:59.920
some talking, to tell him about the conversation I'd have

1242
01:16:00.119 --> 01:16:03.319
with Keithman. I should have told Mike I know it,

1243
01:16:04.560 --> 01:16:07.760
but somehow the words just wouldn't come out. I don't

1244
01:16:07.800 --> 01:16:12.439
know why Mike left me. I asked him to when

1245
01:16:12.439 --> 01:16:16.680
I've tried to get some sleep. No luck, I kept

1246
01:16:16.720 --> 01:16:21.600
thinking about poor Loua and also something else. I don't

1247
01:16:21.600 --> 01:16:24.159
really know why I thought about it, but the fact

1248
01:16:24.319 --> 01:16:30.239
is I did without me doing anything. I just got Richard.

1249
01:16:32.000 --> 01:16:34.840
Urah, hmmm, are you asleep?

1250
01:16:35.399 --> 01:16:36.119
May I come in?

1251
01:16:37.159 --> 01:16:39.680
Well? I just thought a few moments my idea.

1252
01:16:40.359 --> 01:16:44.520
I want to talk to you, all right, just a second,

1253
01:16:48.399 --> 01:16:49.319
it's real late.

1254
01:16:49.600 --> 01:16:50.399
Just a little while.

1255
01:16:51.479 --> 01:16:53.319
The thing is, I do not get to see you

1256
01:16:53.520 --> 01:16:54.239
enough alone.

1257
01:16:54.880 --> 01:16:58.000
Oh, Coral, No, wait a minute, it's all right.

1258
01:16:58.159 --> 01:16:59.760
Mike is a sleep he will not.

1259
01:17:00.600 --> 01:17:02.039
Hands off, mister, that's all.

1260
01:17:02.760 --> 01:17:05.119
Oh, have I made a mistake? I thought you had

1261
01:17:05.159 --> 01:17:06.279
some feeling for me.

1262
01:17:07.079 --> 01:17:09.560
Well it's just a.

1263
01:17:11.159 --> 01:17:12.199
Are you sure? Russia?

1264
01:17:12.279 --> 01:17:12.479
Girl?

1265
01:17:12.760 --> 01:17:12.960
Oh?

1266
01:17:13.319 --> 01:17:14.800
I see, I'm sorry.

1267
01:17:16.600 --> 01:17:17.760
Why don't you go now? Keithman?

1268
01:17:18.359 --> 01:17:18.760
Henry?

1269
01:17:19.800 --> 01:17:24.119
Why don't you go? Henry? I I feel kind of

1270
01:17:24.159 --> 01:17:28.039
upset tonight, you know what I mean? Lu And everything

1271
01:17:28.600 --> 01:17:32.600
all right, my dear, You're not man? Oh no, no,

1272
01:17:34.079 --> 01:17:36.399
There'll be other times.

1273
01:17:36.479 --> 01:17:41.560
Oh, yes, of course, other times, Cora, when we are

1274
01:17:41.680 --> 01:17:44.920
safe on land and rich we will go someplace, you

1275
01:17:45.000 --> 01:17:48.159
and I Italy perhaps or the south of France. Cora,

1276
01:17:49.119 --> 01:17:51.079
one million and a half to buy it by three

1277
01:17:51.239 --> 01:17:53.600
is a large number. That should mean a lot to you.

1278
01:17:54.479 --> 01:17:58.600
Yeah, I have to admit I've been thinking about it.

1279
01:17:59.319 --> 01:18:03.520
One million and a hot divided by two should.

1280
01:18:03.319 --> 01:18:04.239
Mean even more.

1281
01:18:21.520 --> 01:18:23.560
In the morning, I found Mike at the ship's bow

1282
01:18:23.840 --> 01:18:27.319
looking out at the sea. I remember saying to myself.

1283
01:18:28.079 --> 01:18:30.920
He looked kind of good to me. I know how

1284
01:18:30.960 --> 01:18:33.000
a guy can look one way to you at one time,

1285
01:18:33.720 --> 01:18:35.479
then at another looks so very different.

1286
01:18:37.600 --> 01:18:40.359
Oh, hello, what do you see?

1287
01:18:40.920 --> 01:18:41.239
Alright?

1288
01:18:42.680 --> 01:18:44.439
Nothing, Oh, it's not so bad.

1289
01:18:45.319 --> 01:18:49.359
Still got fishing water. It's only the third day. Guys

1290
01:18:49.439 --> 01:18:52.319
were adrift during the war for weeks. They got saved.

1291
01:18:53.359 --> 01:18:57.960
They had worse than us. Mind, if I sit here

1292
01:18:58.000 --> 01:18:59.800
with you, no, go, was not.

1293
01:19:01.960 --> 01:19:02.840
You seen Keithman?

1294
01:19:04.680 --> 01:19:04.960
Hello?

1295
01:19:05.199 --> 01:19:06.119
I guess counting?

1296
01:19:06.760 --> 01:19:11.760
Yeah, sure, has gone off on that gold. You know,

1297
01:19:13.159 --> 01:19:19.199
I've been thinking about what those skeletons we found. You

1298
01:19:19.239 --> 01:19:24.079
wonder who they are? Who they were now? Little do

1299
01:19:24.119 --> 01:19:26.800
you think they were part of the crew or come

1300
01:19:26.880 --> 01:19:27.720
on later like us?

1301
01:19:28.680 --> 01:19:31.600
It looks to me like the whole crew abandoned ship. Now,

1302
01:19:31.680 --> 01:19:34.039
I'd say those two came out later. That's after the

1303
01:19:34.119 --> 01:19:35.760
ship came up from the bottom and.

1304
01:19:35.840 --> 01:19:38.880
They found the gold. Huh, that's like us. Uh huh,

1305
01:19:40.000 --> 01:19:47.119
wondered what happened then? M sure smells good up here.

1306
01:19:48.560 --> 01:19:50.439
It's about the only place of boards you don't smell.

1307
01:19:50.479 --> 01:19:54.159
The ship's rocked. Maybe I should have been a sailor

1308
01:19:54.159 --> 01:19:56.159
instead of a dancer. A lot of good.

1309
01:19:56.039 --> 01:19:58.439
Outdoors ranching gets you outside too.

1310
01:19:59.000 --> 01:20:02.640
Yeah, that Australia is just loaded down with fresh air.

1311
01:20:04.119 --> 01:20:04.800
What about sheep?

1312
01:20:04.880 --> 01:20:05.079
Huh?

1313
01:20:05.600 --> 01:20:06.239
What about them?

1314
01:20:06.680 --> 01:20:07.159
They smell?

1315
01:20:08.680 --> 01:20:09.720
Sheep say bad?

1316
01:20:10.640 --> 01:20:12.119
Maybe I ought to use my share of the goal

1317
01:20:12.159 --> 01:20:14.319
to buy a ranch next to yours. We could be

1318
01:20:14.359 --> 01:20:16.880
neighbors and get together to talk about hard times.

1319
01:20:17.399 --> 01:20:24.319
All this I mean couran mm hmm, Cora, I don't know.

1320
01:20:24.479 --> 01:20:27.239
I current quite tell whether it's because of the mess

1321
01:20:27.319 --> 01:20:30.800
we're in. Well, I suppose it might be different on

1322
01:20:30.920 --> 01:20:31.920
land when we're safe.

1323
01:20:32.000 --> 01:20:35.439
But what are you trying to say, Mike?

1324
01:20:36.439 --> 01:20:40.079
Oh nothing? Do you forget it?

1325
01:20:40.159 --> 01:20:40.439
Koda?

1326
01:20:41.319 --> 01:20:41.600
Sure?

1327
01:20:42.800 --> 01:20:43.159
All right?

1328
01:20:45.640 --> 01:20:51.399
Mike Keatman came into my cabin last night. I thought

1329
01:20:51.399 --> 01:20:54.079
there was going to be trouble. No, it's all right.

1330
01:20:55.239 --> 01:20:58.960
The only thing is, well, I think you better watch yourself.

1331
01:21:00.279 --> 01:21:04.479
What do you mean, Well, it's what he said to me,

1332
01:21:05.720 --> 01:21:11.359
he said him and me could split the gold in two.

1333
01:21:13.640 --> 01:21:18.880
Yeah, I just thought I ought to tell you, thanks.

1334
01:21:20.079 --> 01:21:22.399
There's a knife in the galley. I don't want to

1335
01:21:22.399 --> 01:21:26.960
suggest anything, but nobody's gonna blame you if you moved first.

1336
01:21:28.840 --> 01:21:29.079
Wow.

1337
01:21:32.159 --> 01:21:33.560
I don't know why I said it the way I

1338
01:21:33.640 --> 01:21:36.119
said it. I didn't mean to say it that way,

1339
01:21:36.840 --> 01:21:40.239
just sort of came out. Funny how you do things

1340
01:21:40.319 --> 01:21:45.840
sometimes for no real reason. I mean, well, the third

1341
01:21:45.920 --> 01:21:48.600
day went by and we just kept drifting and drifting,

1342
01:21:49.239 --> 01:21:53.119
nothing to look at but ocean and sky. Then toward

1343
01:21:53.239 --> 01:21:56.119
late afternoon, we saw something, just a speck in the sky,

1344
01:21:56.199 --> 01:21:59.439
but then it came closer and closer. A plane, one

1345
01:21:59.479 --> 01:22:09.000
of those big flour engine passenger jobs. Hey keep and

1346
01:22:09.039 --> 01:22:11.399
waved his shirt and screamed to beat the vand the

1347
01:22:11.479 --> 01:22:13.800
plane sawce, dipped its wings and then took off again.

1348
01:22:14.359 --> 01:22:15.880
We knew it would send the ship and that we'd

1349
01:22:15.960 --> 01:22:19.279
soon be saved. That night in mcgalley, we sat down

1350
01:22:19.359 --> 01:22:21.279
for what we hoped would be our last meal on

1351
01:22:21.359 --> 01:22:21.920
the derelict.

1352
01:22:23.399 --> 01:22:23.760
Fish.

1353
01:22:24.079 --> 01:22:27.119
Have some delicious fish, and you know I don't run anymore.

1354
01:22:27.800 --> 01:22:31.720
Allah Oh, I don't feel much like eating water.

1355
01:22:31.880 --> 01:22:33.920
Then have a big drink of water.

1356
01:22:34.279 --> 01:22:36.079
No I don't want any watch out, just feeling it.

1357
01:22:36.199 --> 01:22:37.520
Oh, who needs it anymore?

1358
01:22:38.199 --> 01:22:39.800
I told you we'd be found.

1359
01:22:39.960 --> 01:22:41.319
This is nineteen fifty three.

1360
01:22:41.680 --> 01:22:43.840
The ship will come to us tomorrow.

1361
01:22:43.399 --> 01:22:47.079
I bet all right, and we'll celebrate tomorrow. He put

1362
01:22:47.119 --> 01:22:50.359
the water down. We've still got tonight tonight.

1363
01:22:51.680 --> 01:22:53.279
Yeah, Tony.

1364
01:22:55.199 --> 01:22:57.079
Keeping shut up then, and a few minutes later left

1365
01:22:57.159 --> 01:23:01.119
the galley. Then Mike went out too. That's when I

1366
01:23:01.239 --> 01:23:05.720
noticed that the gallery knife wasn't there anymore. SE got

1367
01:23:05.840 --> 01:23:08.159
kind of choppy that night, and I was sure restless.

1368
01:23:09.119 --> 01:23:12.920
Wind started acting up, began the rain look like a

1369
01:23:13.000 --> 01:23:19.640
storm was building. Then I heard the screen. I ran

1370
01:23:19.720 --> 01:23:21.640
out along the wet deck and stood outside the hole,

1371
01:23:21.720 --> 01:23:24.800
looking down into the blackness. I couldn't see, but I

1372
01:23:24.880 --> 01:23:29.319
knew what it was. Mike and Keatman, and only one

1373
01:23:29.479 --> 01:23:32.399
was going to come up. Only one.

1374
01:23:48.279 --> 01:23:50.680
Hello, my dear Henry.

1375
01:23:52.000 --> 01:23:54.880
I got the knife in him before he knew what happened.

1376
01:23:55.800 --> 01:23:59.880
Mike done. We divide by two, my love, by two,

1377
01:24:00.159 --> 01:24:00.800
as it should be.

1378
01:24:04.520 --> 01:24:08.199
I gotta get into my cabin. I'm getting all wet.

1379
01:24:08.319 --> 01:24:13.720
Oh wait, Cora, Yeah, the ship will come to us today,

1380
01:24:13.840 --> 01:24:16.560
to us, to you and me, the million and a

1381
01:24:16.640 --> 01:24:17.720
half is ours.

1382
01:24:18.560 --> 01:24:22.039
I know, Henry France, hold you another Italy.

1383
01:24:22.920 --> 01:24:28.319
Whatever you want, Henry anything, Yeah, Oh, Cora, Colorra my love.

1384
01:24:41.199 --> 01:24:43.800
I don't know why I did it, Honest to Pete,

1385
01:24:43.800 --> 01:24:44.920
I wasn't thinking about it.

1386
01:24:45.920 --> 01:24:46.479
I just did it.

1387
01:24:46.640 --> 01:24:49.399
All of a sudden. I gave him a shove, and

1388
01:24:49.479 --> 01:24:52.159
he went right over the side. I could see him

1389
01:24:52.159 --> 01:24:55.640
in water just for a second, his face whiter than ever,

1390
01:24:55.720 --> 01:24:59.560
and his eyes bugging out, and then he was gone.

1391
01:25:10.079 --> 01:25:14.319
The storm lasted for days, three four, I don't remember now,

1392
01:25:15.199 --> 01:25:16.880
and I tossed the ship. I don't know how many

1393
01:25:16.960 --> 01:25:24.279
witch ways. Then the sky cleared up, the sun got

1394
01:25:24.319 --> 01:25:28.159
all warm again. Been this way a couple of days now.

1395
01:25:29.560 --> 01:25:35.239
I haven't seen the rescue ship. Water's gone fish too,

1396
01:25:37.119 --> 01:25:44.279
and I'm alone. But like I say, I'm rich, I'm

1397
01:25:44.319 --> 01:25:47.640
still good looking. Any of you can have me, me

1398
01:25:47.800 --> 01:25:50.720
and gold. All you gotta do is come out and

1399
01:25:50.800 --> 01:25:55.279
get me. But please please come quick.

1400
01:26:09.039 --> 01:26:11.880
Under the direction of Anthony, Ella's escape has brought You

1401
01:26:12.159 --> 01:26:15.760
The Derelict, adapted by Larry Roman from a story by

1402
01:26:15.840 --> 01:26:20.640
Victor Schwartz and starring Charlotte Lawrence as Cora. Featured in

1403
01:26:20.680 --> 01:26:24.680
the cast were Joseph Kerns as Keatman, Ben Wright as Mike,

1404
01:26:25.039 --> 01:26:28.560
and Charlie Long as lou Waw. The special music for

1405
01:26:28.800 --> 01:26:32.319
Escape is composed and conducted by Leith Stephens.

1406
01:26:34.720 --> 01:26:35.399
Next week.

1407
01:26:40.920 --> 01:26:45.880
You are standing God deep in the forests of Africa,

1408
01:26:47.439 --> 01:26:53.960
run around you, closing in on you, a dreaded Maumo.

1409
01:26:55.399 --> 01:26:57.439
Who if you relax, your God.

1410
01:26:59.000 --> 01:26:59.680
Will kill you.

1411
01:27:01.039 --> 01:27:05.079
So listen next week when Escape brings you John Dayner's

1412
01:27:05.279 --> 01:27:27.840
terrifying story Lily and the Colonels. This coming Tuesday night,

1413
01:27:28.039 --> 01:27:31.319
mystery fans will want to stop, listen and thrill to

1414
01:27:31.479 --> 01:27:35.640
mister and missus North looking for trouble on CBS Radio,

1415
01:27:36.399 --> 01:27:40.279
and to John Lund as yours truly Johnny Dollar, probing

1416
01:27:40.359 --> 01:27:44.520
the San Antonio matter. The Norths collide with homicide and

1417
01:27:44.720 --> 01:27:48.439
come close to grief themselves. Johnny Dollar comes close to

1418
01:27:48.560 --> 01:27:52.640
falling in love, closer still to trouble in San anton

1419
01:27:53.680 --> 01:27:56.960
Remember they're both this coming Tuesday night on most of

1420
01:27:57.000 --> 01:28:01.479
these same CBS radio stations. This is North and yours

1421
01:28:01.520 --> 01:28:02.640
truly Johnny Dollar.

1422
01:28:03.279 --> 01:28:04.000
Don't miss him.

1423
01:28:04.640 --> 01:28:06.319
This is Roy Rowan speaking.

1424
01:28:07.760 --> 01:28:11.119
And remember you're invited to Art Link Letters House Party

1425
01:28:11.359 --> 01:28:16.840
every weekday on the CBS Radio network.

1426
01:28:19.720 --> 01:29:18.560
M HM, Well, my dear, it seems like there was

1427
01:29:18.640 --> 01:29:25.279
a lot to consider, or what's that? Well, I suppose

1428
01:29:25.439 --> 01:29:33.680
I could dig up another one, something something deep, something dark,

1429
01:29:35.239 --> 01:29:43.239
something not of this time, because you see, if we're

1430
01:29:43.399 --> 01:29:49.800
truly afraid of that which we don't understand, well, there's

1431
01:29:49.840 --> 01:29:54.439
an awful lot that fits that description, wouldn't you say?

1432
01:29:55.720 --> 01:30:00.479
Many say we don't understand the future enough to dictated

1433
01:30:01.760 --> 01:30:02.680
an eye size.

1434
01:30:09.680 --> 01:30:31.479
The phibious radio mysteries that it presents come in welcome

1435
01:30:32.560 --> 01:30:33.680
Unclenny grind.

1436
01:30:35.159 --> 01:30:38.720
When new wattles I unable to understand certain events that

1437
01:30:38.840 --> 01:30:43.720
occur in our lives, we blame fate or coincidence.

1438
01:30:43.279 --> 01:30:43.960
Or bad luck.

1439
01:30:45.359 --> 01:30:48.560
It is these stories are improbable, but always intrigued me.

1440
01:30:49.600 --> 01:30:52.800
And I don't think either you or I need an explanation.

1441
01:30:52.439 --> 01:30:55.560
Mister why what is the difference?

1442
01:30:56.119 --> 01:30:58.279
If an apple has a red skin or a blue

1443
01:30:58.319 --> 01:31:03.000
skin is inside, it is still an apple. I have

1444
01:31:03.159 --> 01:31:07.000
learned to accept the incredible as the possible. In today's

1445
01:31:07.079 --> 01:31:11.720
tale is one proof that in our universe anything can happen,

1446
01:31:12.319 --> 01:31:18.199
and frequently doubt what an extraordinary portrait of a beautiful.

1447
01:31:17.720 --> 01:31:20.640
Young girl as she died shortly after my uncle painted

1448
01:31:20.720 --> 01:31:25.760
this fifty years ago. What a fantastic talent he has had.

1449
01:31:26.520 --> 01:31:29.319
He's seventy now. He never painted.

1450
01:31:29.000 --> 01:31:34.880
Again, nothing, not a canvas of any kind, nothing and nobody.

1451
01:31:35.640 --> 01:31:38.720
All the life went out of him with her strange death.

1452
01:31:39.520 --> 01:31:43.319
This portrait of Sarah is all that remains.

1453
01:31:51.000 --> 01:31:55.239
Our drama portrait of the past has been written especially

1454
01:31:55.319 --> 01:31:59.399
for the Mystery Theater by g. Fred Lewis and Starsborg

1455
01:31:59.520 --> 01:32:03.760
Calaban and William Griffith. I shall return shortly with that one.

1456
01:32:10.920 --> 01:32:15.640
Jason Harley told me this story. Like his father, grandfather

1457
01:32:16.079 --> 01:32:18.359
and his uncle, Jason.

1458
01:32:18.119 --> 01:32:20.119
Is a jeweler in the true sense of the words.

1459
01:32:21.119 --> 01:32:22.319
The Harleys were classoms.

1460
01:32:23.159 --> 01:32:25.760
They did more than sell and repair watches or trinkets.

1461
01:32:26.720 --> 01:32:31.079
They were silversness and boldness, and their exquisite work has

1462
01:32:31.119 --> 01:32:34.159
been collected all over the world, although none of the

1463
01:32:34.239 --> 01:32:37.119
Holly's ever left New Palmouth, Massachusetts.

1464
01:32:41.319 --> 01:32:43.079
Just ma'am, what can I do for you?

1465
01:32:43.960 --> 01:32:45.279
Are you Jason Harley?

1466
01:32:45.880 --> 01:32:48.840
Yes, sir, I am missus. George M. W.

1467
01:32:49.119 --> 01:32:52.680
Baker, my stepfather, and I have just moved here to

1468
01:32:52.800 --> 01:32:56.840
New Falmouth. He is quite an elderly gentleman now, but

1469
01:32:57.079 --> 01:32:59.239
when he was a young man he grew up here.

1470
01:33:00.000 --> 01:33:02.680
I'm a widow, and we've been living in Boston, but

1471
01:33:02.840 --> 01:33:04.479
we decided we'd had enough.

1472
01:33:04.399 --> 01:33:06.439
Of the big city. I think you'll like it here,

1473
01:33:06.560 --> 01:33:07.800
Oh we do already.

1474
01:33:08.760 --> 01:33:12.319
I've brought along an old brooch that needs mending. Let

1475
01:33:12.439 --> 01:33:14.439
me show you well, Thank.

1476
01:33:14.359 --> 01:33:20.119
You, good lord. What is it? What anis this brooch?

1477
01:33:20.279 --> 01:33:21.199
This pin?

1478
01:33:22.640 --> 01:33:23.399
Where did you get it?

1479
01:33:24.039 --> 01:33:26.239
Is there something so extraordinary about it?

1480
01:33:26.960 --> 01:33:32.159
Missus Baker? My grandfather, my uncle and my father have

1481
01:33:32.279 --> 01:33:35.800
been designing jewelry for a good many years. This is

1482
01:33:35.880 --> 01:33:39.279
the first time I have seen this particular coat of

1483
01:33:39.439 --> 01:33:41.960
arms made into a brooch. Where did you get it?

1484
01:33:42.319 --> 01:33:46.239
It belongs to MW. My stepfather. What you can see

1485
01:33:46.520 --> 01:33:49.119
for yourself what needs repairing? You see?

1486
01:33:49.239 --> 01:33:54.600
There should be three gold seashells on that black shielded.

1487
01:33:53.680 --> 01:33:55.279
So little, small and delicate.

1488
01:33:55.520 --> 01:33:58.039
Now one of the shells must have fallen out, and

1489
01:33:58.359 --> 01:34:00.960
MW was fit to be tied when we unpacked it,

1490
01:34:01.199 --> 01:34:02.439
and it was nowhere to be found.

1491
01:34:02.600 --> 01:34:04.960
I beg your pardon. But what did you say?

1492
01:34:05.039 --> 01:34:10.319
Your name was again, missus George m W. Madne swim Baker.

1493
01:34:10.880 --> 01:34:16.600
I see, madness, sweetmore, that that's your stepfather. The name

1494
01:34:16.800 --> 01:34:20.720
is familiar to you, Yes, it is at any rate

1495
01:34:22.000 --> 01:34:24.920
leave the brooch. I think I can duplicate the missing

1496
01:34:25.000 --> 01:34:29.640
gold shell. I think your stepfather will be quite satisfied.

1497
01:34:30.439 --> 01:34:34.159
Do you happen to know where he obtained this brute?

1498
01:34:34.359 --> 01:34:34.880
I don't.

1499
01:34:35.680 --> 01:34:37.920
As I said, he's had it as long as I

1500
01:34:38.000 --> 01:34:42.399
can remember. But why do you ask me how long

1501
01:34:42.640 --> 01:34:43.239
he's owned it?

1502
01:34:43.760 --> 01:34:48.000
The design is an unusual form of canting arms, that is,

1503
01:34:48.399 --> 01:34:51.640
a coat of arms assumed by a family elusive to

1504
01:34:51.720 --> 01:34:54.600
its name. The three gold shells set on a sable

1505
01:34:54.720 --> 01:34:58.640
shield is the heraldic insignia of a family called Shelley.

1506
01:34:59.359 --> 01:35:02.319
I've seen that same coat of arms only once before,

1507
01:35:03.079 --> 01:35:06.239
and that was on a portrait of a beautiful girl

1508
01:35:06.319 --> 01:35:13.039
who died mysteriously fifteen years ago. Missus Baker didn't seem

1509
01:35:13.119 --> 01:35:16.039
the least surprised that the design of the broach had

1510
01:35:16.079 --> 01:35:19.520
a relationship with death. She left it with me to

1511
01:35:19.560 --> 01:35:22.399
be restored, and I lost no time heading for my

1512
01:35:22.560 --> 01:35:26.399
uncle's farm. Oh, uncle Silas is in his seventies, but

1513
01:35:27.199 --> 01:35:30.279
you'd never know it to look at him. Jason, my boy,

1514
01:35:30.399 --> 01:35:33.680
how good to see you. Whatever brings you to see me, well,

1515
01:35:33.800 --> 01:35:37.199
first of all, because I care about you, and secondly,

1516
01:35:38.000 --> 01:35:42.720
Uncle Silas to play detective. Oh you don't say, detective.

1517
01:35:43.079 --> 01:35:46.520
What are you investigating the past? You know what portrait

1518
01:35:46.600 --> 01:35:48.279
you have over your mantlepiece, and I look at it

1519
01:35:48.399 --> 01:35:50.640
every day. Of course I know it right behind you.

1520
01:35:51.000 --> 01:35:52.920
May I take a closer look at it?

1521
01:35:53.159 --> 01:35:53.560
Why not?

1522
01:35:54.359 --> 01:35:56.319
You've been looking at it since you were a child.

1523
01:35:57.560 --> 01:36:00.119
I painted that portrait ever when I was younger, the

1524
01:36:00.199 --> 01:36:05.439
new Jason twenty, and of course so was she eighteen.

1525
01:36:05.880 --> 01:36:07.800
Do you know that I never knew it was you,

1526
01:36:07.960 --> 01:36:11.399
uncle who painted that portrait. You didn't sign anything, but

1527
01:36:11.520 --> 01:36:14.479
I left my mark on it here. I always thought

1528
01:36:14.560 --> 01:36:16.600
you were just like the rest of us. Ly, that

1529
01:36:16.760 --> 01:36:20.399
jew bolds me the serviceman. I always wanted to be

1530
01:36:20.479 --> 01:36:23.600
a painter. I started trading for it at fifteen, so

1531
01:36:23.640 --> 01:36:26.399
over the time I was twenty, I was quite accomplished.

1532
01:36:26.920 --> 01:36:31.079
I can see that. But that young lady hers was

1533
01:36:31.119 --> 01:36:34.800
the last portraity I ever painted. In fact, when the

1534
01:36:34.920 --> 01:36:38.439
candles was dry, I put my brushes down. All my

1535
01:36:38.600 --> 01:36:45.000
desires to paint banished. Jason Son Shud. I'm very tired,

1536
01:36:45.159 --> 01:36:47.640
and if you don't mind, I shall make tracks for

1537
01:36:47.800 --> 01:36:50.840
my bed. No, you're welcome to stay. If you do well,

1538
01:36:50.840 --> 01:36:54.159
I shall see you at breakfast time. If not, I

1539
01:36:54.279 --> 01:37:01.399
wish you well come again soon. I didn't stay the night,

1540
01:37:02.079 --> 01:37:04.159
but what I came to see was exactly where I'd

1541
01:37:04.239 --> 01:37:08.359
remembered seeing it as a boy. The unknown eighteen year

1542
01:37:08.399 --> 01:37:12.520
old girl, uncle Sila said so exquisitely represented. Wearing a

1543
01:37:12.640 --> 01:37:16.680
red dress with red, long flowing hair piled on top

1544
01:37:16.720 --> 01:37:19.880
of her head. She stood in a corner of the garden,

1545
01:37:20.479 --> 01:37:24.359
one hand beckoning, and in the corner of the painting

1546
01:37:24.960 --> 01:37:29.319
was a tiny coat of arms, three gold shells on

1547
01:37:29.439 --> 01:37:33.600
a black shield, identical to the brooch I had been

1548
01:37:33.800 --> 01:37:41.479
asked to reconstruct her Missus Bigger. The reason I have

1549
01:37:41.600 --> 01:37:44.800
brought you the brooch personally is that I would.

1550
01:37:44.640 --> 01:37:48.000
Like to meet your stepfather, mister Harley. I appreciate that,

1551
01:37:48.399 --> 01:37:50.720
but I'm not sure whether the MW is up to it.

1552
01:37:51.199 --> 01:37:52.720
He rests in the afternoon.

1553
01:37:53.039 --> 01:37:55.880
His heart isn't till good on. Sorry to hear that.

1554
01:37:56.800 --> 01:38:00.000
I would have liked to present the restored brooch to him.

1555
01:38:00.199 --> 01:38:02.800
Ooh he's too done. Oh he's going to be the light.

1556
01:38:02.880 --> 01:38:08.359
Why hear your voices, MW. We ruined your afternoon, Nap.

1557
01:38:08.640 --> 01:38:12.239
I never close my eyes, you know that, Maria, I

1558
01:38:12.359 --> 01:38:16.439
saw who is this gentleman. This is Jason Harley, the

1559
01:38:16.600 --> 01:38:18.960
jeweler who is so highly recommended, and.

1560
01:38:19.079 --> 01:38:22.960
He's built the brouchweh did you say, Holly? Are you

1561
01:38:23.079 --> 01:38:27.680
related to Silas Holly? He's my uncle. Of course, Holly,

1562
01:38:28.399 --> 01:38:32.920
they're all jewelers as a coincidence, and you've prepared it.

1563
01:38:33.079 --> 01:38:36.640
Have you see for yourself? As the wordmore, my word,

1564
01:38:36.880 --> 01:38:41.000
that is something, mister Whitmore. Did this insignia belong to

1565
01:38:41.079 --> 01:38:43.880
a young lady? Why did you say? Why? I heard you?

1566
01:38:44.840 --> 01:38:47.520
Are you jewelers always putting a thousand other people's business?

1567
01:38:47.960 --> 01:38:50.760
Not at all? But I presume this brooch was made

1568
01:38:50.800 --> 01:38:54.079
for someone and represents something about which I am curious,

1569
01:38:54.239 --> 01:38:58.079
too curious for my taste. Maria, will you please show

1570
01:38:58.159 --> 01:39:01.960
the gentleman to the door to hurry? Kindly send us

1571
01:39:02.039 --> 01:39:04.840
your bill. It will be done with the pumptry. The

1572
01:39:04.960 --> 01:39:07.000
name of the person or family this coat of arm

1573
01:39:07.159 --> 01:39:14.680
represents is Shelley. Isn't that though, Shelley? That the please, sir, Maria,

1574
01:39:15.600 --> 01:39:26.439
the pills. There's the pills, my heart. Wan you forgive me,

1575
01:39:26.520 --> 01:39:29.960
mister Whitmore. I am really terribly sorry that my questions

1576
01:39:30.079 --> 01:39:33.000
aggravated your condition. It's all right. It's not your fault.

1577
01:39:33.840 --> 01:39:35.399
I wanted to speak to you, and that's why I

1578
01:39:35.479 --> 01:39:38.600
asked my stepdaughter to fetch you before you left. How

1579
01:39:38.680 --> 01:39:41.079
did you manage to guess the brooch was made for

1580
01:39:41.159 --> 01:39:45.439
a young lady because i've seen her? Hot No, no, no,

1581
01:39:46.199 --> 01:39:49.720
I said, Bosambor, she's dead. I mean, I believe I

1582
01:39:49.840 --> 01:39:52.680
have seen a portrait of the young lady. There is

1583
01:39:52.800 --> 01:39:57.239
a portrait. I had no idea you knew her then, yes?

1584
01:39:57.439 --> 01:40:00.520
I did. Did she have red hair?

1585
01:40:00.960 --> 01:40:01.159
Yes?

1586
01:40:01.720 --> 01:40:05.520
Did she wear a red dress? A red dress? Her

1587
01:40:05.760 --> 01:40:09.680
favorite mister Rickmore, I would say, the portrait I have

1588
01:40:09.800 --> 01:40:11.960
seen is that of a young woman who lived some

1589
01:40:13.039 --> 01:40:16.479
fifty years ago. In one corner where you would expect

1590
01:40:16.520 --> 01:40:19.680
to find the artist's signature is a painted replica of

1591
01:40:19.760 --> 01:40:22.119
the brooch I have just prepared for you. You have

1592
01:40:23.159 --> 01:40:26.680
seen this painting of a young lady wearing a red dress,

1593
01:40:26.840 --> 01:40:30.159
standing in a garden. She has red hair piled on

1594
01:40:30.239 --> 01:40:33.279
top of her head, in a very beautiful face, her

1595
01:40:33.399 --> 01:40:39.479
age eighteen. Lord in here, that's her, sir. Would you

1596
01:40:39.920 --> 01:40:41.039
care to see the painter?

1597
01:40:41.159 --> 01:40:44.960
I would pay anything for just one look. That young

1598
01:40:45.039 --> 01:40:49.560
woman has haunted me for fifty years, and unfortunately my

1599
01:40:50.000 --> 01:40:52.479
memory of her is getting faint and faint.

1600
01:40:53.840 --> 01:41:04.079
You see, I love the once long long ago. The

1601
01:41:04.159 --> 01:41:07.720
following day I examined every gravestone in the churchyard where

1602
01:41:07.760 --> 01:41:09.960
most of the old families a new family were buried,

1603
01:41:10.600 --> 01:41:13.119
and I found the very gravestone I was looking for.

1604
01:41:14.359 --> 01:41:21.079
Sarah Shelley born nineteen twelve, died nineteen thirty. So it

1605
01:41:21.439 --> 01:41:24.640
was Sarah Shelley who had died at eighteen. I wanted

1606
01:41:24.680 --> 01:41:28.000
to know why, and who else was there to ask?

1607
01:41:28.840 --> 01:41:32.520
But my uncle Silas Jason, I never said the girl

1608
01:41:32.560 --> 01:41:36.439
in my portrait was Sarah Shelley. The idea that was

1609
01:41:36.479 --> 01:41:40.600
her name? This does Uncle Silas, this brooch. I saw

1610
01:41:40.680 --> 01:41:44.920
the gravestone. Why was she buried alone? Who was she?

1611
01:41:45.640 --> 01:41:49.399
She was buried alone because she was an orphan. No

1612
01:41:49.600 --> 01:41:53.079
family her, Every young girl who taught school here her

1613
01:41:53.119 --> 01:41:59.800
new family. Oh, sir, sir, how I wish.

1614
01:42:02.159 --> 01:42:05.479
Well? You see, I had hoped we would marry.

1615
01:42:06.439 --> 01:42:10.279
But I'm getting ahead of myself. I was very young,

1616
01:42:11.079 --> 01:42:15.479
just twenty apprentice to your grandfather, and for Sarah, I

1617
01:42:15.680 --> 01:42:20.039
created a family crest. I saved up scraps of gold

1618
01:42:20.199 --> 01:42:23.960
and silver, sriices of on expordered them until I had

1619
01:42:24.119 --> 01:42:28.359
enough to give this beautiful orphan a family name. I

1620
01:42:28.520 --> 01:42:31.680
wanted her to be someone. Uncle, Before we go further

1621
01:42:31.800 --> 01:42:34.800
into the past, could you tell me the entire truth

1622
01:42:34.880 --> 01:42:38.239
about something that you do from year to year in

1623
01:42:38.359 --> 01:42:41.960
the present as I can. I will you cover this

1624
01:42:42.119 --> 01:42:46.199
painting you did of Sarah Shelley every June's as I

1625
01:42:46.359 --> 01:42:49.640
have for fifty years, for only the month of June,

1626
01:42:49.720 --> 01:42:52.079
mind you, and you've told me it's to blot out

1627
01:42:52.239 --> 01:42:58.079
painful memories of June nineteen thirty? Is that the entire truth? Uncle? No,

1628
01:42:58.760 --> 01:43:02.279
nor isn't I cover Sarah's picture from the first to

1629
01:43:02.359 --> 01:43:06.520
the last day of June because she asks me to.

1630
01:43:07.439 --> 01:43:12.760
She Sarah speaks to you are much more than that, Jason.

1631
01:43:13.680 --> 01:43:20.359
In time, my years, in time, I will tell you everything.

1632
01:43:26.600 --> 01:43:30.840
A painting, a blood, a girl who died at eighteen,

1633
01:43:31.880 --> 01:43:35.840
and memories of an unrequited love, and then the question

1634
01:43:36.000 --> 01:43:41.479
of a death natural or unnatural. When one begins to

1635
01:43:41.560 --> 01:43:44.319
dig into the past in this past is half a

1636
01:43:44.399 --> 01:43:49.600
century old, one must be careful, very careful open that

1637
01:43:49.720 --> 01:43:54.680
mythological jack called Pandora's box, and who knows what evils

1638
01:43:54.760 --> 01:43:55.479
may fly out?

1639
01:43:56.760 --> 01:43:58.920
I say returned shortly with that too different.

1640
01:44:05.479 --> 01:44:08.520
As the young Jewelah Jason Holly begins to unearth.

1641
01:44:08.239 --> 01:44:09.279
Pieces of the past.

1642
01:44:09.880 --> 01:44:13.880
What did he find his elderly uncle in love with

1643
01:44:13.920 --> 01:44:17.760
a girl who died fifty years ago, an elderly client

1644
01:44:17.920 --> 01:44:22.119
apparently in love with the same girl, Anne, who will

1645
01:44:22.159 --> 01:44:24.439
give anything for a painted glimpse of us?

1646
01:44:25.119 --> 01:44:32.560
Why this is the case? And told me. As I

1647
01:44:32.680 --> 01:44:35.960
sat listening to Uncle Silas recount his courtship of Sarah

1648
01:44:36.039 --> 01:44:39.880
Shelley five decades ago, I stared at her portrait, the

1649
01:44:40.000 --> 01:44:44.079
beckoning arm and a sad smile, the stubborn mouth, and

1650
01:44:44.239 --> 01:44:48.479
I wondered had she brought about the circumstances that led

1651
01:44:48.560 --> 01:44:53.680
to her own death. I made up this coat of

1652
01:44:53.840 --> 01:44:57.039
arms for you, Sarah. She's made of gold and silver,

1653
01:44:57.159 --> 01:45:01.079
and the back background of that little shield it's pure onyx.

1654
01:45:01.560 --> 01:45:04.319
It's the best piece of jewelry I've ever done, and

1655
01:45:04.439 --> 01:45:05.319
it's yours.

1656
01:45:06.560 --> 01:45:07.560
Is beautiful.

1657
01:45:08.279 --> 01:45:12.920
It makes me proud, sir. You know right now, I'm

1658
01:45:12.960 --> 01:45:15.760
only an apprentice in the family business. I make so

1659
01:45:15.880 --> 01:45:20.840
little money it's almost a joke. But you think if

1660
01:45:20.920 --> 01:45:23.560
in time I do learn how to be a real jeweler,

1661
01:45:25.319 --> 01:45:29.800
I mean, would you wait for me, wait for what.

1662
01:45:31.520 --> 01:45:34.039
I love you, sir, and someday I would like to

1663
01:45:34.119 --> 01:45:37.119
marry you. I had no idea. I thought we were

1664
01:45:37.239 --> 01:45:42.680
just friends. You being in orphan it's difficult. I mean,

1665
01:45:42.760 --> 01:45:44.840
I can't ask anyone's permission. Jo.

1666
01:45:44.840 --> 01:45:48.880
When the time comes side and you ask to marry me,

1667
01:45:49.640 --> 01:45:51.880
I will invite you to come to my school and

1668
01:45:52.000 --> 01:45:55.199
meet all my children, and if it makes you feel better,

1669
01:45:56.319 --> 01:45:58.680
then you can ask their permission to marry me.

1670
01:46:02.119 --> 01:46:06.960
She had away with ad Jason. Imagine that I should

1671
01:46:07.039 --> 01:46:11.159
ask her student's permission. Of course she was joking, but

1672
01:46:12.000 --> 01:46:14.960
you know I just would have if it come to that.

1673
01:46:16.199 --> 01:46:19.159
A year went by, and when I was learning my craft,

1674
01:46:19.239 --> 01:46:21.279
I was at the same time learning how to become

1675
01:46:21.319 --> 01:46:25.399
a painter. The following June I had decided would be

1676
01:46:25.520 --> 01:46:28.359
the month to ask her to marry me. In the

1677
01:46:28.439 --> 01:46:33.199
spring of nineteen thirty, I began that quart.

1678
01:46:35.840 --> 01:46:38.079
How long do I have to stand in one place

1679
01:46:38.159 --> 01:46:41.119
in the garden like this? Pilace is very tiring.

1680
01:46:41.279 --> 01:46:43.479
Well, suppose we rest for just five minutes.

1681
01:46:44.920 --> 01:46:47.119
I thought my arm would drop off. You have no

1682
01:46:47.279 --> 01:46:49.840
idea how difficult it is to hold my hand up

1683
01:46:49.920 --> 01:46:52.399
like this, the way you wanted, I mean sort of beckoning.

1684
01:46:52.680 --> 01:46:55.399
Well, I think you were a little tired before we

1685
01:46:55.560 --> 01:46:56.760
started Sunday.

1686
01:46:56.920 --> 01:47:00.600
Tell me that I can really sleep late of those

1687
01:47:00.760 --> 01:47:03.399
through the services. That's naughty of.

1688
01:47:03.479 --> 01:47:07.920
Me, isn't it. I stopped by your boarding house last night.

1689
01:47:08.720 --> 01:47:11.760
I thought we might go for a walk. Well, landlady

1690
01:47:11.800 --> 01:47:14.399
said you'd driven off with a man in an auto car. Oh,

1691
01:47:14.680 --> 01:47:17.720
she's a red flow snoop. What business is it of hers?

1692
01:47:18.680 --> 01:47:20.960
You see? I met this very nice man.

1693
01:47:21.560 --> 01:47:24.079
He's a young man, maybe a little older than you.

1694
01:47:24.520 --> 01:47:26.279
And where did you meet him?

1695
01:47:26.399 --> 01:47:28.960
Well, he's a nephew of mister and Missus Warren. We

1696
01:47:29.039 --> 01:47:31.399
have two little ones in my school. And we were

1697
01:47:31.479 --> 01:47:34.159
introduced and he asked me to go driving with him,

1698
01:47:34.600 --> 01:47:35.359
and I did.

1699
01:47:35.760 --> 01:47:39.279
Someone you just met once you went driving with It's.

1700
01:47:39.119 --> 01:47:41.159
A real treat to go riding in a motor car

1701
01:47:41.560 --> 01:47:43.720
at night. He has a great deal of money and

1702
01:47:43.840 --> 01:47:47.279
he comes from a very good family. Well. I had

1703
01:47:47.319 --> 01:47:51.119
a good time with Magnus Whitmore. He was very sweet

1704
01:47:51.199 --> 01:47:55.600
to me and very considerate, and I enjoyed myself very much.

1705
01:47:55.760 --> 01:47:59.439
And you got back to your boarding house very late. Silence, Harley,

1706
01:48:00.239 --> 01:48:01.399
dare you spy on me?

1707
01:48:02.079 --> 01:48:04.479
If that's the way you are, I'm glad I found

1708
01:48:04.520 --> 01:48:06.880
out in time. I'm not going to pose on my

1709
01:48:07.000 --> 01:48:10.920
portrait anymore today, if ever, I won't be treated like

1710
01:48:11.000 --> 01:48:14.319
a child, I mean, followed and chicked up on. I'm

1711
01:48:14.399 --> 01:48:17.880
trusted with the little children in school. What's wrong with you, sir?

1712
01:48:18.039 --> 01:48:19.399
Or I love you?

1713
01:48:20.159 --> 01:48:21.039
I want to marry you.

1714
01:48:21.199 --> 01:48:23.640
Don't think you're the only one who's proposed to me.

1715
01:48:24.399 --> 01:48:26.520
I haven't made up my mind or anything yet.

1716
01:48:27.119 --> 01:48:28.439
I can't make up my mind.

1717
01:48:29.479 --> 01:48:33.600
I did think I loved you, but sometimes I wonder

1718
01:48:33.840 --> 01:48:36.000
was it because of this coat of arms?

1719
01:48:36.039 --> 01:48:38.800
And I do love to wear it. Silence, I'm wear it.

1720
01:48:38.920 --> 01:48:39.479
All the time.

1721
01:48:40.079 --> 01:48:43.840
And I say, well, do I love Silence because he's

1722
01:48:44.399 --> 01:48:45.840
chainting so beautifully?

1723
01:48:46.159 --> 01:48:50.239
Or is your heart changing? Because perhaps there's a much

1724
01:48:50.319 --> 01:48:52.880
better life in store for you if you marry Magnus

1725
01:48:52.920 --> 01:48:53.319
what more?

1726
01:48:53.640 --> 01:48:57.000
I haven't given him an answer either. All I said

1727
01:48:57.119 --> 01:48:59.479
is perhaps at the end of the school term, the

1728
01:48:59.560 --> 01:49:03.800
end of mine outside. I am truly honored by both

1729
01:49:03.880 --> 01:49:07.279
your proposals and Drew. First, I shall take the train

1730
01:49:07.399 --> 01:49:08.800
up to Gaylord and genetrators.

1731
01:49:09.680 --> 01:49:10.359
We got our.

1732
01:49:10.279 --> 01:49:13.479
Teacher's certificate together. Well, I told you about her She's

1733
01:49:13.520 --> 01:49:16.720
really my best friend. And while I'm there, I'm going

1734
01:49:16.800 --> 01:49:20.800
to decide for myself which of you two I shall come.

1735
01:49:20.720 --> 01:49:25.520
Back and marry. And that was the last time I

1736
01:49:25.600 --> 01:49:29.319
saw Sarah Shelley alive. But I confess to you, my boy,

1737
01:49:29.880 --> 01:49:33.720
our life Sarah and mine is not over. Uncle Thomas,

1738
01:49:33.960 --> 01:49:36.960
What are you saying? She died fifty years ago? You

1739
01:49:37.079 --> 01:49:41.199
are alive today, you see, Jason. I believe with all

1740
01:49:41.319 --> 01:49:44.399
my heart that my Sarah is somewhere in the universe

1741
01:49:44.520 --> 01:49:48.239
waiting for me. There are mornings when the earth is

1742
01:49:48.399 --> 01:49:52.560
warm and the air is cold. I see her walking

1743
01:49:52.680 --> 01:49:55.880
towards me. Throw the mist into the garden. I see

1744
01:49:55.960 --> 01:49:58.880
her beckoning to me in that same red dress she

1745
01:49:59.079 --> 01:50:03.479
wore when I paid. Or She's waiting for me, Jason,

1746
01:50:04.239 --> 01:50:07.720
And when I die, we would at last and forever

1747
01:50:08.239 --> 01:50:11.720
be together. Uncle Silas, I gathered you no longer feel

1748
01:50:11.760 --> 01:50:16.520
any resentment toward Magnus, with no sort forgotten. For a

1749
01:50:16.640 --> 01:50:19.319
time I even persuaded myself he had a hand in

1750
01:50:19.399 --> 01:50:23.039
her death. But it wasn't so, and I finally came

1751
01:50:23.119 --> 01:50:28.399
to realize it. No, Magnus was a rival who unfortunately

1752
01:50:28.840 --> 01:50:32.479
didn't win her either, not for this world. Would you

1753
01:50:32.640 --> 01:50:35.520
let him see the portrait? If you let me, I

1754
01:50:35.600 --> 01:50:37.640
would bring it to him, let him look at it,

1755
01:50:37.720 --> 01:50:39.600
and then the same day bring it back to you.

1756
01:50:40.239 --> 01:50:42.039
He has never seen it, and he tells me his

1757
01:50:42.239 --> 01:50:47.199
memory of Sarah's fading fast. Think about it, ask me tomorrow.

1758
01:50:47.279 --> 01:50:55.520
I may feel differently then, Uncle Silas did feel differently

1759
01:50:55.600 --> 01:50:57.720
the next day, and two days later I brought it

1760
01:50:57.800 --> 01:51:00.399
to the house of Missus Maria Baker and her father.

1761
01:51:01.000 --> 01:51:05.600
Why it's breathtaking. I had no idea she was such

1762
01:51:05.640 --> 01:51:06.800
a beautiful girl.

1763
01:51:07.159 --> 01:51:09.640
I thought you should see it, Missus Baker before mister

1764
01:51:09.680 --> 01:51:10.319
Whitmore does.

1765
01:51:10.600 --> 01:51:13.920
I can now understand the tragedy of it so much better.

1766
01:51:15.960 --> 01:51:18.520
I'm almost afraid to show it to m w.

1767
01:51:19.199 --> 01:51:22.279
It doesn't have to be today. My uncle trusts me.

1768
01:51:22.920 --> 01:51:26.600
You brought the birds back, didn't you, Yes, before I

1769
01:51:26.680 --> 01:51:28.319
forget them here it is.

1770
01:51:28.640 --> 01:51:31.600
I shall take the painting, leave it outside his room,

1771
01:51:32.000 --> 01:51:34.479
go in see him, and if he's up to it,

1772
01:51:35.039 --> 01:51:36.079
I'll show it to him.

1773
01:51:39.399 --> 01:51:43.119
Mister Whitmore, I'm glad you felt well enough to have

1774
01:51:43.319 --> 01:51:46.920
me join you in your bedroom. Beautiful work of art,

1775
01:51:46.960 --> 01:51:47.239
isn't it?

1776
01:51:48.039 --> 01:51:48.520
My boy?

1777
01:51:50.039 --> 01:51:52.920
My boy shall never be able to thank you enough.

1778
01:51:54.279 --> 01:51:57.000
Maria tells me Silas himself.

1779
01:51:56.640 --> 01:52:00.159
Painted it from life, and she has retained all of

1780
01:52:00.279 --> 01:52:05.520
hers and more. I do see Sir actually beckoning to

1781
01:52:05.720 --> 01:52:11.000
me to follow her. Is that possible? Her hand, her

1782
01:52:11.079 --> 01:52:15.119
right hand, It is moving. Uncle Silas has been remembering

1783
01:52:15.199 --> 01:52:18.439
that spring fifty years ago, and he told me, mister Whitmore,

1784
01:52:18.479 --> 01:52:22.000
that Sarah Shirley promised to both of you a decision

1785
01:52:22.079 --> 01:52:26.560
in June whom she would marry. Can you remember that

1786
01:52:26.760 --> 01:52:29.000
is exactly the way she put it to me. Also,

1787
01:52:30.159 --> 01:52:34.039
I can see her now in that dress, that red dress,

1788
01:52:34.560 --> 01:52:38.760
a favorite adverse. We stopped off at the station and

1789
01:52:38.920 --> 01:52:41.840
left her bag. Then we had two hours to be

1790
01:52:42.000 --> 01:52:46.039
together before our train was to leave. So, as we

1791
01:52:46.119 --> 01:52:49.479
had done often before, we drove through the Falmer's Duck.

1792
01:52:50.279 --> 01:52:51.760
We got out and moped.

1793
01:52:52.840 --> 01:52:57.000
It was starting to fog up that Sunday morning, the

1794
01:52:57.079 --> 01:53:01.479
sky gray and overcast, but it was not nearly as

1795
01:53:01.560 --> 01:53:04.600
ominous as what Sarah was deeffing.

1796
01:53:04.399 --> 01:53:06.079
Me, mad.

1797
01:53:07.319 --> 01:53:09.840
It isn't that I care for you in silence equally

1798
01:53:09.880 --> 01:53:13.359
at all my feelings when you are different?

1799
01:53:14.119 --> 01:53:19.239
Can you understand that which feeling is love? Sarah, that's

1800
01:53:19.279 --> 01:53:20.399
the one that counts the most.

1801
01:53:20.680 --> 01:53:23.680
I don't know. That's why I'm going away today for

1802
01:53:23.720 --> 01:53:26.680
a short visit with my friend Jenny. If I'm away

1803
01:53:26.720 --> 01:53:29.680
from you both, perhaps it will help.

1804
01:53:29.479 --> 01:53:33.199
Me make up my mind. Or Sarah, you're hivy. It's

1805
01:53:33.239 --> 01:53:37.079
getting darker and darker at sea, and I don't want

1806
01:53:37.119 --> 01:53:39.680
you to catch cold. Let's turn back to where I've

1807
01:53:39.680 --> 01:53:42.880
bought the car and we'll drive back to the station side.

1808
01:53:42.920 --> 01:53:45.720
These boards this far out on the dock, some of

1809
01:53:45.760 --> 01:53:48.359
them are rotten. Isn't too safe to walk on?

1810
01:53:48.600 --> 01:53:50.960
Well, I'm not cold, man, it's not as slightly.

1811
01:53:51.239 --> 01:53:56.720
Sarah, stand still, what is it? We'll be followed back there,

1812
01:53:57.439 --> 01:53:59.359
and we turn to the end of the dock. I

1813
01:53:59.479 --> 01:54:03.199
suddenly figure stuck behind the boathouse and has a four

1814
01:54:03.239 --> 01:54:06.520
of people. No, no, not on a Sunday morning. Just

1815
01:54:06.640 --> 01:54:09.920
now I saw him again. It was the same face

1816
01:54:10.039 --> 01:54:12.880
turning around, so I wouldn't recognize him it did you?

1817
01:54:14.039 --> 01:54:17.800
I think so, but I'm not sure. I thank you

1818
01:54:18.159 --> 01:54:21.279
more alarmed than I am, perhaps because I have more

1819
01:54:21.359 --> 01:54:25.479
to fear. Come along here. I'd like to get to

1820
01:54:25.520 --> 01:54:27.520
where I left the car before the fog gets so thick.

1821
01:54:27.560 --> 01:54:32.920
I'll never get to the railroad station in time, And

1822
01:54:33.039 --> 01:54:36.520
mister Woodmore, when the next time you saw Sarah Shelley,

1823
01:54:36.920 --> 01:54:43.239
I never saw her again, never not alive. I saw

1824
01:54:43.319 --> 01:54:47.279
her body. She was dead. And did you ever find

1825
01:54:47.319 --> 01:54:50.159
out who it was you thought was following the two

1826
01:54:50.239 --> 01:54:53.880
of you? Yes, I knew who it was, but I

1827
01:54:54.000 --> 01:54:57.359
didn't want to tell Sarah. You recognize the person. It

1828
01:54:57.600 --> 01:55:02.960
was Silas highly and he knew that I saw him. Silence,

1829
01:55:03.960 --> 01:55:07.960
my uncle, Silas. I can't believe her. No, but the

1830
01:55:08.039 --> 01:55:09.479
Earl did either.

1831
01:55:18.039 --> 01:55:21.359
It was William Shakespeare's opinion that love and death were

1832
01:55:21.399 --> 01:55:23.199
not partners, that.

1833
01:55:23.359 --> 01:55:24.760
Is excluding Roman and Juliet.

1834
01:55:26.199 --> 01:55:28.800
The favorite play of mine, as you like it, he

1835
01:55:28.920 --> 01:55:32.880
has the character Roslin say, the poor world is almost

1836
01:55:32.920 --> 01:55:36.159
six thousand years old, and in all this time there

1837
01:55:36.279 --> 01:55:38.039
was not any man died in a love.

1838
01:55:38.159 --> 01:55:43.159
Cause men have died from time to time, and worms

1839
01:55:43.199 --> 01:55:45.640
have eaten them, but not for love.

1840
01:55:47.359 --> 01:55:51.039
Well, mister Shakespeare, we shall see it would appear in

1841
01:55:51.119 --> 01:55:54.000
our story that someone may have killed for love.

1842
01:55:55.399 --> 01:55:57.319
And I shall return shortly with that three.

1843
01:56:04.600 --> 01:56:08.479
Call from high descendant of a long line of silver

1844
01:56:08.600 --> 01:56:11.680
and gold smith has discovered a special coat of arms,

1845
01:56:12.399 --> 01:56:16.199
three gold shells and a black onyx Field. It has

1846
01:56:16.279 --> 01:56:18.600
led into a portrait of a girl who died fifty

1847
01:56:18.680 --> 01:56:22.159
years ago. And he was loved by two men, one

1848
01:56:22.800 --> 01:56:28.359
Magnus Houtman, the other Jason's own uncle. Silas it is

1849
01:56:28.439 --> 01:56:30.399
at the uncle's house if we raise.

1850
01:56:30.239 --> 01:56:34.359
The curtain of taxi, Jason, do you want my secret

1851
01:56:34.520 --> 01:56:39.239
and private opinion madness killer? Or it could never be proved?

1852
01:56:39.960 --> 01:56:42.920
And the irony is that I myself became one of

1853
01:56:42.960 --> 01:56:46.520
the witnesses to prove his innocence. I'd like to know more. Well.

1854
01:56:47.159 --> 01:56:50.199
In those days, every citizen of Massachusetts had to attend

1855
01:56:50.239 --> 01:56:53.359
the priests of worship on the Sabbath. In fact, there

1856
01:56:53.399 --> 01:56:56.239
were constables who patrolled the streets and the docks to

1857
01:56:56.279 --> 01:57:00.279
make sure Sunday morning everyone was at prayer. I had

1858
01:57:00.399 --> 01:57:02.880
seen Sarah the night before. She was to take the

1859
01:57:03.000 --> 01:57:05.920
morning train to stay a few days with their friend Jenny.

1860
01:57:06.640 --> 01:57:10.359
On Sunday, I shared a pew in church with Tom Webster,

1861
01:57:10.760 --> 01:57:13.239
who was no use to be the inspector of police.

1862
01:57:13.720 --> 01:57:17.960
He's retired now. Tom and I went to school together.

1863
01:57:19.439 --> 01:57:23.560
That's a long we've been friends. Silence, Yes, Tom, I

1864
01:57:23.640 --> 01:57:25.520
hope today isn't going to be another one of those

1865
01:57:25.840 --> 01:57:28.640
long sermons about how much coal is needed to keep

1866
01:57:28.680 --> 01:57:33.479
the place warm this winter. You shut yourself, magnus. The

1867
01:57:33.560 --> 01:57:36.680
service hasn't begun yet. It's not you he's annoy that Tom.

1868
01:57:37.079 --> 01:57:42.000
It's me. Oh, because of Sarah. Well, they the best

1869
01:57:42.119 --> 01:57:51.600
man win. It was a strange sensation for me, sitting

1870
01:57:51.680 --> 01:57:54.399
in church, right behind the man who I was afraid

1871
01:57:54.439 --> 01:57:58.560
would win Sarah's hand. About halfway through the service, a

1872
01:57:58.680 --> 01:58:02.600
constable came down me and whishpered something to Tom. Tom

1873
01:58:02.640 --> 01:58:04.560
got up right away and, full of the confortable out

1874
01:58:04.560 --> 01:58:07.119
of the door. In a few minutes, who was back

1875
01:58:07.239 --> 01:58:12.239
and motioned for me to follow him outside silence known

1876
01:58:12.319 --> 01:58:14.359
how to tell you this. One of my men has

1877
01:58:14.479 --> 01:58:18.439
just informed me that while on his regular Sunday patrol

1878
01:58:18.520 --> 01:58:23.800
by the dock, he discovered the body of Sarah Shelley,

1879
01:58:25.000 --> 01:58:29.600
Sarah myster. They have taken her to the hospital, not

1880
01:58:29.760 --> 01:58:32.000
because there was anything that could be done to save her.

1881
01:58:32.479 --> 01:58:35.039
There was no life left in her when she was found,

1882
01:58:35.159 --> 01:58:37.600
but it was the only place to bring her. What

1883
01:58:37.720 --> 01:58:41.800
happened to her, I believe she drowned. Now, now Silas

1884
01:58:41.840 --> 01:58:44.479
has an old friend, I'm going to ask.

1885
01:58:44.399 --> 01:58:45.760
You to bear with me.

1886
01:58:46.840 --> 01:58:49.479
I don't understand. I must now go back into the

1887
01:58:49.600 --> 01:58:54.680
church and take Magnus Whitmore into custody. I urge you

1888
01:58:54.880 --> 01:58:57.439
to go directly to my office. I will meet you

1889
01:58:57.520 --> 01:59:00.600
there as soon as I have apprehended Whitmore and have

1890
01:59:00.760 --> 01:59:04.319
him held for questionings. I go now, I'll be along shortly.

1891
01:59:09.039 --> 01:59:13.960
Oh charmer, I'm glad you heard it last Silas, I'm

1892
01:59:14.119 --> 01:59:16.039
sorry you had to wait over an hour for us

1893
01:59:16.079 --> 01:59:19.119
to book Whitmore and to get the sergeant's full report.

1894
01:59:19.439 --> 01:59:22.159
How could Magnus possibly have had anything to do with

1895
01:59:22.239 --> 01:59:26.760
her deafert I don't understand. When did she die? We'll

1896
01:59:26.880 --> 01:59:30.239
deal with one fact at the time. The sergeant reported

1897
01:59:30.279 --> 01:59:33.399
to me that eleven o'clock this morning, while on patrol

1898
01:59:33.520 --> 01:59:36.880
on the dark in the fog, he stumbled over a man.

1899
01:59:37.560 --> 01:59:40.640
Now you remember how very foggy it was early this morning,

1900
01:59:41.000 --> 01:59:43.439
I do. A sergeant made the man get up to

1901
01:59:43.479 --> 01:59:46.560
identify himself. He made him write his name in the

1902
01:59:46.640 --> 01:59:51.239
sergeant's notebook. Take a look at the name there, Magnus Whickmo.

1903
01:59:51.479 --> 01:59:54.239
And a sergeant then asked him why he was not

1904
01:59:54.359 --> 01:59:58.079
observing the State of Massachusetts sabbath ruling. Why he was

1905
01:59:58.159 --> 02:00:00.680
not at some place of worship, and the man who

1906
02:00:00.760 --> 02:00:05.720
had identified himself as Magnus Whitmore gave a most peculiar reply.

1907
02:00:06.359 --> 02:00:09.760
He said to the sergeant, what time is it. The

1908
02:00:09.840 --> 02:00:15.840
sergeant said almost noon, and Whitmore answered, I am in church,

1909
02:00:16.359 --> 02:00:19.600
he said, I am in shirt. He said, I am

1910
02:00:19.760 --> 02:00:22.800
in church and I have been there for over an hour.

1911
02:00:23.640 --> 02:00:27.159
He then said to the sergeant, I am a man cursed.

1912
02:00:27.560 --> 02:00:30.880
I am a cursed man. Come follow me, and the

1913
02:00:30.960 --> 02:00:35.720
sergeant did. Whitmore pointed down into the water, passed a

1914
02:00:35.800 --> 02:00:39.960
broken plank, and the sergeant saw Sarah floating face down,

1915
02:00:40.399 --> 02:00:46.039
her red hair streaming above her. Rush the too late reviver. Now,

1916
02:00:46.119 --> 02:00:50.479
I'm about to have Whitmore in for questioning and silas.

1917
02:00:51.000 --> 02:00:53.399
If it's too painful for you to be present, I

1918
02:00:53.520 --> 02:00:58.000
will understand, but I will need your testimony eventually. Mind,

1919
02:00:58.600 --> 02:01:00.760
I know this tragedy is torn you were apart, but

1920
02:01:02.079 --> 02:01:06.000
you can't have forgotten that Magnus Whitmore was in church.

1921
02:01:06.399 --> 02:01:08.520
He was sitting in front of us, and was there

1922
02:01:08.600 --> 02:01:12.600
before we even arrived. In fact, where he said he

1923
02:01:12.960 --> 02:01:16.720
was miles from the dark. How that is possible at

1924
02:01:16.720 --> 02:01:26.319
this point is beyond me. Tom. Why am I being

1925
02:01:26.399 --> 02:01:29.239
held here as prisoner on suspicion of the murder Miss

1926
02:01:29.399 --> 02:01:33.640
Sarah Shelley. And why is he here silas as a witness?

1927
02:01:34.359 --> 02:01:38.560
Strange enough on your behalf. Well, that's right, but both

1928
02:01:38.600 --> 02:01:41.720
of you set behind me for half an hour before

1929
02:01:41.760 --> 02:01:44.680
the service began till I was taken out and arrested.

1930
02:01:45.920 --> 02:01:49.800
So is it who suspects me? The state of Massachusetts?

1931
02:01:50.439 --> 02:01:53.039
Now do you deny the fact that you were the

1932
02:01:53.159 --> 02:01:56.479
last person to see Sarah Shelley alive? Of course I

1933
02:01:56.640 --> 02:02:00.159
deny the fact. I have no idea who saw just

1934
02:02:00.199 --> 02:02:03.960
before her death. She was alive and well. He walked

1935
02:02:03.960 --> 02:02:05.880
along the dock for over an hour before a train

1936
02:02:06.000 --> 02:02:08.560
was to leave, and I had intended to drive her

1937
02:02:08.560 --> 02:02:13.760
to the train. But somehow, in the fog we became separates.

1938
02:02:14.319 --> 02:02:18.159
What do you mean somehow, well, it swallowed her up.

1939
02:02:19.159 --> 02:02:22.359
The fog became so dense that even my voice calling

1940
02:02:22.439 --> 02:02:25.159
out to her seemed to be muffled. I don't know

1941
02:02:25.279 --> 02:02:28.760
whether Sarah heard me or not, but she never replied.

1942
02:02:29.319 --> 02:02:33.640
When the fog closed in. I was in church. You

1943
02:02:33.800 --> 02:02:38.000
saw me, but both of you, I sat right in

1944
02:02:38.079 --> 02:02:40.720
front of you. The fact is you were with the

1945
02:02:40.840 --> 02:02:44.119
sergeant miles away and signed his book with your name,

1946
02:02:44.439 --> 02:02:47.079
and then led him to a place under the pier

1947
02:02:47.439 --> 02:02:51.840
where Miss Shelley's body was found. It all happened while

1948
02:02:51.840 --> 02:02:56.279
I was praying. I can't explain it any other way.

1949
02:02:56.720 --> 02:03:00.720
You had better try this. You didn't go to the

1950
02:03:00.840 --> 02:03:01.600
railroad station.

1951
02:03:02.439 --> 02:03:04.640
You didn't care enough about Sarah to find out in

1952
02:03:04.760 --> 02:03:05.920
all that terrible weather.

1953
02:03:05.800 --> 02:03:07.560
She'd been able to catch a train or not. I

1954
02:03:07.600 --> 02:03:10.960
guess I was in such a state believing that Winna lose,

1955
02:03:11.079 --> 02:03:16.399
she would never really be mine that I I just

1956
02:03:16.439 --> 02:03:16.960
didn't think.

1957
02:03:17.399 --> 02:03:18.199
What did you do then?

1958
02:03:18.920 --> 02:03:21.680
Turn around, go back to the dock, push her into

1959
02:03:21.680 --> 02:03:24.520
the water? Is that why you were crawling on the

1960
02:03:24.600 --> 02:03:28.560
ground when the sergeant found you? Now you cannot deny this, Magnus.

1961
02:03:29.079 --> 02:03:31.920
Your name where you wrote it when he asked you

1962
02:03:32.000 --> 02:03:35.399
to identify yourself is in his notebook. So you are

1963
02:03:35.560 --> 02:03:39.119
not in church, even though on the witness stand I

1964
02:03:39.239 --> 02:03:41.279
would have to swear I saw you there.

1965
02:03:41.880 --> 02:03:42.159
Tom.

1966
02:03:43.399 --> 02:03:47.600
I'm trying to explain this in the only way I know.

1967
02:03:49.399 --> 02:03:53.159
How could I appear to be in two places at

1968
02:03:53.239 --> 02:03:56.319
the same time. I may I say something for go ahead, silas,

1969
02:03:56.760 --> 02:04:02.159
disregarding my own private suspicion isn't it possible that Sarah

1970
02:04:02.239 --> 02:04:04.760
in the fog lost her footing and fell into the

1971
02:04:04.840 --> 02:04:07.760
water and drowned. I can't say at this point whether

1972
02:04:07.840 --> 02:04:10.000
the corn I will be able to establish that or not,

1973
02:04:10.640 --> 02:04:19.279
whether it's accidental death or murder Jason. At that moment,

1974
02:04:19.439 --> 02:04:23.520
I had no doubts that Magnus had somehow cleverly constructed

1975
02:04:23.560 --> 02:04:26.720
an alibi and had pushed Sarah into the water. I

1976
02:04:26.920 --> 02:04:31.359
believed he had a motive in his strange and twisted

1977
02:04:31.479 --> 02:04:34.600
wave must have decided if he could not have a

1978
02:04:35.239 --> 02:04:39.159
no one else would. That Sunday night, I went home,

1979
02:04:39.760 --> 02:04:43.760
went to bed, and then was unable to tell whether

1980
02:04:43.880 --> 02:04:53.199
I was a weak or dreaming. Silence, Sarah, is that you?

1981
02:04:55.399 --> 02:04:58.840
I'm standing now at the foot of your bed. Can

1982
02:04:58.920 --> 02:04:59.800
you recognize me?

1983
02:05:00.039 --> 02:05:06.319
Faith, Sarah? Are you green or an apparition? Are you

1984
02:05:06.399 --> 02:05:07.239
alive or dead?

1985
02:05:07.560 --> 02:05:12.399
I am alive, Silence, very much alive, but not in

1986
02:05:12.479 --> 02:05:19.399
the sense I was Silence. I shall remain alive until

1987
02:05:19.479 --> 02:05:20.199
you join me.

1988
02:05:21.239 --> 02:05:24.079
Remember that I didn't.

1989
02:05:23.920 --> 02:05:27.800
Have to go to Jenny's to decide. Even as I

1990
02:05:28.000 --> 02:05:32.359
was walking along that dock with Magnus, I knew.

1991
02:05:32.279 --> 02:05:39.079
I was to be your wife, Sarah, Sarah. Well, was

1992
02:05:39.159 --> 02:05:44.720
it a dream or reality at that point fifty years ago,

1993
02:05:44.960 --> 02:05:49.159
I wasn't sure. Since that time, I have often seen

1994
02:05:49.279 --> 02:05:54.199
and talked with my beloved Sarah. The following Monday, Magnus

1995
02:05:54.319 --> 02:05:57.920
was asked to make an official stake. I needn't elaborate

1996
02:05:58.159 --> 02:06:02.159
what I said yesterday about being watched by Silas Harley.

1997
02:06:02.239 --> 02:06:06.199
And then I saw Sarah Shelly alive until about half

1998
02:06:06.319 --> 02:06:10.840
past ten Sunday morning. I drove home and went to church.

1999
02:06:12.079 --> 02:06:14.920
I did kneel there and prayed for Sarah's safety.

2000
02:06:16.359 --> 02:06:17.680
And then they.

2001
02:06:18.159 --> 02:06:22.720
Flashed before me, a pair of hands reaching out and.

2002
02:06:28.279 --> 02:06:30.000
Do I have to go on a week?

2003
02:06:30.079 --> 02:06:33.760
And wait? I couldn't tell in my mind's eye whether

2004
02:06:33.840 --> 02:06:37.359
these hands were choking or pushing her or what. But

2005
02:06:37.479 --> 02:06:40.199
the very next thing I saw was the body lying

2006
02:06:40.359 --> 02:06:44.000
still on the water next to the pilings. From then

2007
02:06:44.039 --> 02:06:47.640
on it was all a dream. I tried to leave,

2008
02:06:48.039 --> 02:06:51.560
I couldn't. I fell to the dock. I tried crawling

2009
02:06:51.600 --> 02:06:53.439
away my head to jumble the sound of the farther

2010
02:06:53.600 --> 02:06:59.039
and see goes a bellboy, And suddenly there was a

2011
02:06:59.239 --> 02:07:05.520
sergeant asking questions. You know the rest you are saying

2012
02:07:05.560 --> 02:07:10.800
with Maud that somehow, in some fashion, you projected yourself

2013
02:07:10.880 --> 02:07:14.279
into a similar self who was on the dock, while

2014
02:07:14.439 --> 02:07:19.760
your actual self remained in church miles away. That is

2015
02:07:19.840 --> 02:07:23.239
what I'm saying. But how can we ever find out

2016
02:07:24.159 --> 02:07:33.279
which was my real self and which was not? Magnus

2017
02:07:33.399 --> 02:07:37.760
went to trial, he was acquitted. Neither his signature nor

2018
02:07:37.840 --> 02:07:40.720
the sergeant's account weighed as heavily with the jury as

2019
02:07:40.840 --> 02:07:45.560
practically an entire congregation who saw Magnus in church. It

2020
02:07:45.680 --> 02:07:50.800
is incredible, uncoman. Ever since I wondered about magnus guilt,

2021
02:07:52.399 --> 02:07:56.239
has he ever explained how he acquired the brooch which

2022
02:07:56.319 --> 02:08:00.880
Sarah always kept into her waist, How to get I

2023
02:08:00.960 --> 02:08:04.800
think it's best all forgotten, uncle, that you have the portrait,

2024
02:08:05.720 --> 02:08:08.720
the memory of her appearance to you that night she died,

2025
02:08:09.680 --> 02:08:12.680
saying she wanted to be your bride. Oh, I have

2026
02:08:12.880 --> 02:08:15.760
a great deal more than that, and I have had

2027
02:08:15.840 --> 02:08:20.319
all these years. As each year passes, I get closer

2028
02:08:20.439 --> 02:08:26.239
to our eternal reunion. I want you to look straight ahead, Jason,

2029
02:08:26.279 --> 02:08:30.359
where that bench is. It's exactly there she rested during

2030
02:08:30.439 --> 02:08:34.319
our painting sessions. To the right is where she stood.

2031
02:08:34.560 --> 02:08:36.840
Can you see the spot? Yes, right there?

2032
02:08:37.039 --> 02:08:39.039
I have by that tree, her.

2033
02:08:39.119 --> 02:08:47.960
Arm extended, beckoning, She's always eighteen to me, always beautiful.

2034
02:08:51.920 --> 02:08:53.880
I am compelled to relate the truth of what I

2035
02:08:53.960 --> 02:08:57.560
then saw. A sight seen by my uncle many many

2036
02:08:57.640 --> 02:09:03.119
times over the years, was materializing before him. She began

2037
02:09:03.239 --> 02:09:07.680
to walk slowly toward us, young, radiant in the full

2038
02:09:07.800 --> 02:09:11.720
bloom of life. Her hair swept up her red dress

2039
02:09:12.079 --> 02:09:17.119
like news. She came closer and closer, and I held

2040
02:09:17.159 --> 02:09:21.520
my breath and disbelieved completely what my eyes told me.

2041
02:09:22.439 --> 02:09:26.159
I saw her touch the forehead of my uncle. He

2042
02:09:26.279 --> 02:09:30.880
leaned back in his chair and breathed his last breath.

2043
02:09:32.039 --> 02:09:36.159
I looked again, but in that instant, Sarah was gone,

2044
02:09:37.439 --> 02:09:40.840
and so was the spirit of my uncle, And so

2045
02:09:41.039 --> 02:09:49.039
they were joined at last, out.

2046
02:09:48.960 --> 02:09:52.399
Of the strange synchronism of unrelated events, he spun the

2047
02:09:52.520 --> 02:09:57.159
story told to me by Jason Holly. I realized afterwards

2048
02:09:57.800 --> 02:10:02.000
it is generally the unaccountable and predictable to control our lives,

2049
02:10:03.079 --> 02:10:08.600
the chance meeting a sudden storm or calm, the violent

2050
02:10:08.720 --> 02:10:10.520
beginning or the violence end.

2051
02:10:11.279 --> 02:10:14.640
The miracle of it all is that most of us survive.

2052
02:10:15.560 --> 02:10:16.720
I shall return shortly.

2053
02:10:24.680 --> 02:10:28.000
The older we grow, the more we encounter that which

2054
02:10:28.079 --> 02:10:29.119
is not explainable.

2055
02:10:30.560 --> 02:10:32.399
The Good Book tells us that to.

2056
02:10:32.479 --> 02:10:37.119
Live by faith, hope, and charity will make the road easier.

2057
02:10:38.720 --> 02:10:41.640
And there is written when I was a.

2058
02:10:41.760 --> 02:10:46.079
Child, I speak as a child, I understood as a child,

2059
02:10:47.000 --> 02:10:50.600
I thought as a child. But when I became a man,

2060
02:10:50.880 --> 02:10:56.000
I put away childish things. For now we see food

2061
02:10:56.079 --> 02:11:04.399
glass darkly, but then face to say, now I know

2062
02:11:04.640 --> 02:11:05.680
only in fact.

2063
02:11:07.000 --> 02:11:07.560
The game.

2064
02:11:09.079 --> 02:11:12.600
That I know, even also as I know.

2065
02:11:14.880 --> 02:11:19.560
Our cast included William Griffith, Bob Caliban tells, I Tell,

2066
02:11:20.159 --> 02:11:23.960
and Gnad gun. The entire production is under the direction

2067
02:11:24.079 --> 02:11:24.880
of Hanging Brown.

2068
02:11:28.800 --> 02:11:33.560
Well, my dear, now that we've looked to the past,

2069
02:11:34.800 --> 02:11:40.439
perhaps it's time to look to the future. You seems

2070
02:11:41.239 --> 02:11:46.680
hell bent. Pardon my language on one more piece before

2071
02:11:46.760 --> 02:11:51.960
you son too your way home in the dark, And

2072
02:11:52.119 --> 02:11:56.640
who am I to refuse you? After all, I'm so

2073
02:11:56.960 --> 02:12:00.840
happy when you come and spend just a little of

2074
02:12:00.920 --> 02:12:06.960
your time with me. So now we'll head to a future,

2075
02:12:07.600 --> 02:12:12.319
a future that is so certain, that is so guaranteed

2076
02:12:12.920 --> 02:12:17.039
that it comes by way of the past. When we

2077
02:12:17.239 --> 02:12:32.960
end up in the oblong box, out.

2078
02:12:32.800 --> 02:12:36.800
Of the past, vandoms of a world gone by speak again.

2079
02:12:36.960 --> 02:12:38.680
The Immortal Tale.

2080
02:12:39.960 --> 02:12:41.960
The oblong box.

2081
02:12:50.880 --> 02:12:52.800
Here, captain, here.

2082
02:12:52.720 --> 02:12:54.079
She is envy or dust?

2083
02:12:55.359 --> 02:12:57.800
I time aboard.

2084
02:12:58.640 --> 02:12:59.600
Hey, we'll time about.

2085
02:13:00.199 --> 02:13:01.399
We'll drop live and take them on.

2086
02:13:01.600 --> 02:13:05.880
No, I said, came by the vesel, Well go fidy norry?

2087
02:13:06.640 --> 02:13:07.439
Why my daughter?

2088
02:13:08.000 --> 02:13:09.520
You make out what ship she's from?

2089
02:13:11.600 --> 02:13:12.000
Too far?

2090
02:13:12.199 --> 02:13:16.319
Captain, she's American? Now now assum be on him.

2091
02:13:16.640 --> 02:13:16.880
Mate.

2092
02:13:17.439 --> 02:13:20.000
If the captain's with them, send him up to my cabin, hi, I.

2093
02:13:20.039 --> 02:13:25.800
Said, take him anchel eat heat too.

2094
02:13:36.119 --> 02:13:38.960
That's about all, captain. He've been at seeing the longboat

2095
02:13:39.000 --> 02:13:41.840
for two days when you sighted us just about done in.

2096
02:13:42.720 --> 02:13:45.119
My friend here, mister Allen, was the only passenger to survive.

2097
02:13:45.359 --> 02:13:47.720
You say you're from the packet ship Independence.

2098
02:13:47.760 --> 02:13:47.880
Eh.

2099
02:13:49.119 --> 02:13:53.000
What cargo were you carrying? Cotton? A little hemp and september?

2100
02:13:53.359 --> 02:13:58.359
I see, and that was all nye. Did you happen

2101
02:13:58.399 --> 02:13:59.560
to pass some drift? Captain?

2102
02:14:00.119 --> 02:14:04.640
Did nothing? You just spoke of. Would you care for

2103
02:14:04.760 --> 02:14:06.319
a little more grog? Gentlemen?

2104
02:14:06.640 --> 02:14:12.319
Now you go and you sir, yes, yes, please, No,

2105
02:14:12.640 --> 02:14:17.560
we passed nothing adrift that you mentioned, but we did

2106
02:14:17.680 --> 02:14:20.600
hoist aboard something rather strange, you might say.

2107
02:14:21.600 --> 02:14:24.399
It may not have come from your ship, though, could

2108
02:14:24.439 --> 02:14:28.880
only make out the port of embarkation and the date Charleston,

2109
02:14:29.079 --> 02:14:32.399
South Carolina, August the second, eighteen eighty one.

2110
02:14:33.159 --> 02:14:36.159
That was our port. That was our date of sailing. Captain,

2111
02:14:37.119 --> 02:14:38.279
what was it you took aboard?

2112
02:14:38.880 --> 02:14:44.560
Two bodies passengers? I suppose the men the woman rather unusual,

2113
02:14:44.640 --> 02:14:45.640
though the woman was in.

2114
02:14:45.720 --> 02:14:53.479
A coffin an oblong box seems startled. Mister Ellen, I am,

2115
02:14:54.520 --> 02:14:58.560
and the man it's a strange part. He was lashed

2116
02:14:58.600 --> 02:14:59.880
at a coffin by a min.

2117
02:15:00.199 --> 02:15:05.079
He wrote, Oh, from your reaction, Miss Rellen, I presume

2118
02:15:06.119 --> 02:15:08.760
I presume you know something about the box.

2119
02:15:09.279 --> 02:15:11.359
Yes, I I'm afraid so.

2120
02:15:12.239 --> 02:15:16.000
Then, Miss Rellen, I suppose you relate the entire story

2121
02:15:16.960 --> 02:15:17.319
very well.

2122
02:15:18.439 --> 02:15:21.039
To tell you the truth, Captain, I intended telling no one,

2123
02:15:21.960 --> 02:15:24.119
you see, as Captain Hardy told you the dead man

2124
02:15:24.159 --> 02:15:28.119
had been a friend of mine. I'd hoped the sea

2125
02:15:28.239 --> 02:15:32.039
would keep it stead. The man whose body you found

2126
02:15:32.119 --> 02:15:35.880
tied to that oblong box was an artist from New York.

2127
02:15:36.880 --> 02:15:41.720
His name was Cornelius Wyatt. As I remember, Wyatt had

2128
02:15:41.760 --> 02:15:43.640
been married only a few months when I met him,

2129
02:15:43.680 --> 02:15:47.479
quite by accident. It was at our port of sailing, Charleston.

2130
02:15:48.560 --> 02:15:50.359
I'd been on board only a few minutes when I

2131
02:15:50.439 --> 02:15:53.640
heard his voice calling me by my first name. I

2132
02:15:53.760 --> 02:15:57.840
was quite surprised to see my old friend, edgar Allan.

2133
02:15:57.920 --> 02:15:59.640
Hello there, why? Why?

2134
02:16:00.399 --> 02:16:00.560
Man?

2135
02:16:00.800 --> 02:16:01.159
How high?

2136
02:16:01.439 --> 02:16:02.399
Oh, it's good to see.

2137
02:16:02.520 --> 02:16:03.279
How long has it been?

2138
02:16:03.479 --> 02:16:05.279
Oh a good year since I saw your last to

2139
02:16:05.399 --> 02:16:09.640
please and let's see, Yes, since eighteen seventy seven, all

2140
02:16:09.680 --> 02:16:12.359
the places to meet you. Tell me why is your

2141
02:16:12.439 --> 02:16:13.039
wife aboard?

2142
02:16:13.640 --> 02:16:14.079
My wife?

2143
02:16:15.159 --> 02:16:18.840
Well? Yes, more people have braved about her astarling beauty

2144
02:16:18.880 --> 02:16:21.880
to me than I could possibly count. I've sworn to

2145
02:16:21.880 --> 02:16:25.479
see her with my own eyes. Wheerish, I'm sorry, God,

2146
02:16:25.479 --> 02:16:28.319
I'm afraid that would be impossible. You see, she's she's

2147
02:16:28.399 --> 02:16:31.960
ill in her cabin. Oh what a shame. Well, then

2148
02:16:32.120 --> 02:16:32.799
later I'm sure.

2149
02:16:32.840 --> 02:16:35.319
No, no, no, really, I think she'll remain in bed

2150
02:16:35.360 --> 02:16:37.559
for the rest of the trip. Her health wouldn't permit it.

2151
02:16:37.719 --> 02:16:38.719
I'll come, wiat.

2152
02:16:39.159 --> 02:16:40.959
You wouldn't cheat me of this chance to meet your

2153
02:16:41.079 --> 02:16:43.440
beautiful wife and see how I'll do her good?

2154
02:16:43.920 --> 02:16:45.879
Or is it because you're jealous of such beauty? And

2155
02:16:45.959 --> 02:16:48.799
please keep that torax to yourself. My wife's apearance should

2156
02:16:48.799 --> 02:16:50.920
be of no concern to you. Oh but Wyatt, I

2157
02:16:51.079 --> 02:16:53.159
was only joking. I meant no heart human has not

2158
02:16:53.159 --> 02:16:54.120
appreciated with threllan.

2159
02:16:55.000 --> 02:16:58.479
Well, forgive me, I show you. I meant no harm, I.

2160
02:16:59.079 --> 02:17:01.760
Saying you, mister, yes, that there box?

2161
02:17:01.840 --> 02:17:04.479
He are you having a shipped in the whole? Confounded man?

2162
02:17:04.520 --> 02:17:06.879
How many times would I give these instructions my cabin?

2163
02:17:06.920 --> 02:17:09.639
You understand it must be put in my cabin? Must

2164
02:17:09.639 --> 02:17:10.680
I tell the captain himself?

2165
02:17:10.840 --> 02:17:13.840
Sorry, said there's highly any rooms in the garage boxing.

2166
02:17:14.040 --> 02:17:16.280
I don't care how little room there is. That box

2167
02:17:16.319 --> 02:17:17.680
will go into my cabin if I have to move

2168
02:17:17.719 --> 02:17:22.799
with there myself. Sorry, founded fools, I begged them to

2169
02:17:22.840 --> 02:17:23.840
carry out my instructions.

2170
02:17:24.319 --> 02:17:26.520
Is is that's the box?

2171
02:17:26.639 --> 02:17:29.840
But excuse me, mister Allen, They clumsy fools may drop it.

2172
02:17:29.840 --> 02:17:31.319
I'd better watch them. I'll see you later.

2173
02:17:31.920 --> 02:17:42.440
Although at the time I was surprised by my friend's

2174
02:17:42.479 --> 02:17:46.319
sudden outburst, I passed it off to temperament, after all,

2175
02:17:46.399 --> 02:17:49.399
he was an artist. At the moment, I was more

2176
02:17:49.440 --> 02:17:54.000
concerned over the the oblong box than over my friend.

2177
02:17:54.959 --> 02:17:57.120
It bothered me quite a bit. I couldn't find a

2178
02:17:57.200 --> 02:17:59.760
reason for his being so overwrought over the placement of

2179
02:17:59.799 --> 02:18:04.079
a cumbersome, large wooden box and Furthermore, I couldn't find

2180
02:18:04.120 --> 02:18:06.920
a reason for his use have won that shape. It

2181
02:18:07.079 --> 02:18:09.479
was about six feet long and two and a half

2182
02:18:09.559 --> 02:18:13.840
feet wide. To me, its contents were a mystery. At

2183
02:18:14.040 --> 02:18:16.200
first I excused it as containing a number of its

2184
02:18:16.239 --> 02:18:20.879
precious paintings. About three days out of Charleston, I met

2185
02:18:20.959 --> 02:18:24.799
Wyatt again. He was walking about the deck. As I

2186
02:18:24.879 --> 02:18:27.079
approached to me, cordially offered me his hand.

2187
02:18:27.520 --> 02:18:32.719
Hello, Hello, Wyatt, Edgar, I believe I owe you an apology.

2188
02:18:32.959 --> 02:18:33.520
Apology.

2189
02:18:33.680 --> 02:18:36.079
Yes, you must forgive the way I acted the day before.

2190
02:18:36.120 --> 02:18:38.559
We say that I'm not as well as I should be. Oh,

2191
02:18:38.680 --> 02:18:40.559
think nothing of it here, Let's sit here.

2192
02:18:41.559 --> 02:18:41.879
That's it.

2193
02:18:43.639 --> 02:18:47.639
I am under a severe strain, Edgar. Perhaps I should

2194
02:18:47.680 --> 02:18:50.680
tell you you are my friend. I should tell someone.

2195
02:18:51.079 --> 02:18:53.719
Of course, what others have told you about my wife

2196
02:18:53.840 --> 02:18:59.440
is true. She is beautiful, very beautiful, I'm afraid too beautiful.

2197
02:19:00.040 --> 02:19:04.319
Yes, I was one of many many suitors. I was

2198
02:19:04.360 --> 02:19:05.079
the fortunate one.

2199
02:19:05.360 --> 02:19:07.799
Why, I don't know. She doesn't love me.

2200
02:19:08.520 --> 02:19:09.799
Are you sure she doesn't love you?

2201
02:19:09.959 --> 02:19:10.440
Yes, I'm sure.

2202
02:19:10.479 --> 02:19:11.040
I'm very sure.

2203
02:19:11.600 --> 02:19:13.639
Since I've been married, she's done her utmost to make

2204
02:19:13.719 --> 02:19:16.280
me jealous. She knows how I worship her beauty. She

2205
02:19:16.360 --> 02:19:17.000
knows her power.

2206
02:19:17.319 --> 02:19:18.920
Men have always loved her for it. They still do.

2207
02:19:19.159 --> 02:19:22.879
I know it, gir, I'm suffering because of it. There

2208
02:19:22.920 --> 02:19:25.600
are men today who would give anything from my wife's hand.

2209
02:19:26.360 --> 02:19:26.760
Anything.

2210
02:19:27.280 --> 02:19:27.760
She knows that.

2211
02:19:27.879 --> 02:19:30.680
She taunts me with it continuously. Why she looks at me,

2212
02:19:30.840 --> 02:19:31.360
laughs at me.

2213
02:19:31.840 --> 02:19:35.200
You're in love with her desperately. You would never give

2214
02:19:35.239 --> 02:19:35.600
her up.

2215
02:19:35.639 --> 02:19:38.399
Never, And she knows this, of course, That's why she

2216
02:19:38.479 --> 02:19:38.920
taunts me.

2217
02:19:39.479 --> 02:19:40.959
Well, perhaps if I could see her, No, no.

2218
02:19:41.000 --> 02:19:43.440
No's she's still ill.

2219
02:19:43.760 --> 02:19:43.959
Ill.

2220
02:19:44.399 --> 02:19:46.479
I'm sorry this trip.

2221
02:19:47.479 --> 02:19:48.840
You know how I'm going to Canada?

2222
02:19:48.959 --> 02:19:49.520
Do you know why?

2223
02:19:50.120 --> 02:19:51.879
Paintings? I'm taking her.

2224
02:19:51.799 --> 02:19:55.200
Away away from all those men. She'll learned to love me.

2225
02:19:55.319 --> 02:19:55.840
I'll make her.

2226
02:19:56.280 --> 02:19:57.600
I'll keep her beauty for myself.

2227
02:19:57.799 --> 02:20:01.040
Perhaps perhaps this is an extreme extreme.

2228
02:20:01.959 --> 02:20:04.879
Oh no, it's the only thing to do. You don't

2229
02:20:04.920 --> 02:20:09.239
know the torture I've suffered. Well, let's talk no more

2230
02:20:09.280 --> 02:20:12.600
about it. I feel better as you wish.

2231
02:20:13.239 --> 02:20:17.360
You will keep my confidence, so without question, Now, how's

2232
02:20:17.399 --> 02:20:18.520
your painting coming? Wyat?

2233
02:20:19.280 --> 02:20:20.840
I haven't touched a brush in months.

2234
02:20:21.479 --> 02:20:24.239
But the canvases you brought aboard, weren't they yours?

2235
02:20:24.520 --> 02:20:25.000
Canvases?

2236
02:20:25.440 --> 02:20:27.239
I suppose they were in the large box you have

2237
02:20:27.319 --> 02:20:27.879
in your cabin.

2238
02:20:27.920 --> 02:20:28.799
Why do you suppose that?

2239
02:20:29.280 --> 02:20:31.200
Or because of its unusual size.

2240
02:20:30.920 --> 02:20:32.799
That box doesn't concern you. It's none of your business.

2241
02:20:32.840 --> 02:20:34.680
I didn't say that. I don't ever mention that box again.

2242
02:20:34.680 --> 02:20:36.879
I forbid you. You're here, don't ever mention that box again.

2243
02:20:43.959 --> 02:20:47.239
Perhaps I've been too hasty, Captain. Perhaps the man just

2244
02:20:47.360 --> 02:20:52.040
doesn't well physically by the box. It could contain something unimportant.

2245
02:20:52.920 --> 02:20:55.680
I think I was overly curious, that's all. I've known

2246
02:20:55.760 --> 02:20:57.840
him for a long while. You know, he's always appeared

2247
02:20:57.840 --> 02:21:01.000
perfectly normal before, and everything's been on right lately for

2248
02:21:01.120 --> 02:21:04.040
the past few days. Yes, he's been perfectly cordial, and

2249
02:21:04.200 --> 02:21:06.639
I think perhaps it's best we pass over the entire matter.

2250
02:21:07.159 --> 02:21:11.159
There's probably some logical, some simple story behind what's happened.

2251
02:21:12.120 --> 02:21:15.799
More pot No, no, no thanks. I think it's best.

2252
02:21:15.840 --> 02:21:18.159
I'll be getting back to my cabin. Looks as though

2253
02:21:18.200 --> 02:21:21.440
there's an unhealthy storm blowing along the coast. I best

2254
02:21:21.479 --> 02:21:23.760
get back. Oh, I noticed it getting a little rough.

2255
02:21:24.159 --> 02:21:25.600
Will it hit us? I can't tell you.

2256
02:21:26.680 --> 02:21:26.719
No.

2257
02:21:26.799 --> 02:21:28.920
Good night, mister Allen. Perhaps you will join me at

2258
02:21:28.920 --> 02:21:34.399
dinner tomorrow night. Euh thank you, captain. I'd be listen

2259
02:21:35.280 --> 02:21:44.799
what I thought I heard? Listen again, nothing, I hear nothing.

2260
02:21:45.559 --> 02:21:48.079
The wind. That's all. The events have made you a

2261
02:21:48.120 --> 02:21:51.159
little nervous. I suppose No. Wait, I'm sure I had

2262
02:21:51.200 --> 02:21:55.559
something strange groaning on something from out there, and open

2263
02:21:55.639 --> 02:22:00.879
the door. It's probably the ship's cat here quickly the

2264
02:22:00.920 --> 02:22:06.120
passageways black and steward probably took the lantern. So listen again.

2265
02:22:07.159 --> 02:22:07.440
Hear it?

2266
02:22:08.639 --> 02:22:11.479
Oh, yes, yes, I do. It came from the darkness

2267
02:22:11.559 --> 02:22:13.360
down there to the end of the passageway. If somebody

2268
02:22:13.440 --> 02:22:15.239
is in trouble, who has the safe room the end

2269
02:22:15.280 --> 02:22:17.959
of the passageway. I think quiet. The first two are empty.

2270
02:22:17.959 --> 02:22:19.920
I'll come along. Pull your cabin door closed. I'll get

2271
02:22:19.959 --> 02:22:21.840
a lamp. The darkness. No, no, I know my way.

2272
02:22:22.079 --> 02:22:28.559
We may need the darkness very well. The first two

2273
02:22:29.120 --> 02:22:33.079
you say are empty, yes, and this one you believe

2274
02:22:33.159 --> 02:22:36.040
is quiet. It should be. I'll stand here a moment.

2275
02:22:37.280 --> 02:22:45.040
I'll listen again. I'm knocking, tapping. I'll try this latch.

2276
02:22:45.639 --> 02:22:48.639
I'll open it as quietly as possible. There's no light

2277
02:22:48.760 --> 02:22:53.079
under the door. Stand back easy now. But last night

2278
02:22:53.159 --> 02:22:55.879
it's locked from the inside because someone is definitely in there.

2279
02:22:55.920 --> 02:23:00.920
I am going to knock. I'll listen closely. M hm hm,

2280
02:23:01.520 --> 02:23:02.360
someone is in there.

2281
02:23:02.639 --> 02:23:03.040
You heard it?

2282
02:23:03.520 --> 02:23:03.719
Hello?

2283
02:23:03.840 --> 02:23:04.159
In there?

2284
02:23:04.879 --> 02:23:06.440
Is that you're Wyat? This is Allen?

2285
02:23:07.079 --> 02:23:09.440
Anything wrong? Hello there?

2286
02:23:10.840 --> 02:23:11.040
Huh?

2287
02:23:11.520 --> 02:23:12.000
No answer.

2288
02:23:12.479 --> 02:23:16.040
I don't like this. Open the door, Wiatt sipt Captain,

2289
02:23:16.079 --> 02:23:19.079
I'll be post to break again. Here, help me help

2290
02:23:19.120 --> 02:23:23.280
me if I can't play go on one. So ready,

2291
02:23:23.360 --> 02:23:31.799
now say where are you Wyatt? Wait, there's landing by

2292
02:23:31.840 --> 02:23:35.479
the port. I'll strike a light. Stand here and empty.

2293
02:23:36.280 --> 02:23:37.639
The room is empty.

2294
02:24:01.360 --> 02:24:03.680
For a moment, both of us stood there in the

2295
02:24:03.760 --> 02:24:07.360
gloom of Wyatt's cabin. We were sure somebody had been there,

2296
02:24:07.399 --> 02:24:11.120
but a moment before we'd heard them, And now the

2297
02:24:11.280 --> 02:24:14.600
cabin was apparently empty. The door had been locked on

2298
02:24:14.719 --> 02:24:17.200
the inside. Nobody could have left the room without our

2299
02:24:17.280 --> 02:24:21.399
seeing them. Then suddenly Captain Hardy pointed to the right

2300
02:24:21.479 --> 02:24:24.520
wall of the cabin. There, in the dimness of the

2301
02:24:24.600 --> 02:24:29.319
gloomy shadows, Hallen, this cabin and the one beside it

2302
02:24:29.360 --> 02:24:32.600
are rejoined. Now let me get the light and see

2303
02:24:32.600 --> 02:24:35.799
if the adjoining door has been opened or the lamp left.

2304
02:24:35.840 --> 02:24:40.120
In a hurry, here here, Alan, give me your hand.

2305
02:24:40.959 --> 02:24:47.520
The cat makes the latter plastic party. Right, all right,

2306
02:24:48.639 --> 02:24:54.719
just stumbled over this plastic box. I have we oblong box.

2307
02:24:55.719 --> 02:25:00.079
Excuse me, gentlemen, I didn't be doing true quiet, I

2308
02:25:00.159 --> 02:25:03.879
come in. There's another lamp for the table. Allow me,

2309
02:25:04.000 --> 02:25:04.840
Captain Hardy, But.

2310
02:25:05.520 --> 02:25:07.680
Where did you come from? How did you get into

2311
02:25:07.719 --> 02:25:08.399
the passageway?

2312
02:25:08.440 --> 02:25:08.680
Ware?

2313
02:25:10.360 --> 02:25:12.879
That's better, mister.

2314
02:25:12.760 --> 02:25:15.680
Allen, I have been walking my wife on deck.

2315
02:25:16.879 --> 02:25:19.559
May I introduce you? Or you may come in?

2316
02:25:19.719 --> 02:25:23.760
Marjorie, Marjorie, this is mister.

2317
02:25:23.680 --> 02:25:26.360
Allen, the man who desired to meet you so much,

2318
02:25:26.760 --> 02:25:29.440
and the captain of this vessel, Captain Hardy, how do

2319
02:25:29.520 --> 02:25:33.719
you do you do? And now, gentlemen, may I ask

2320
02:25:33.799 --> 02:25:38.319
the reason for your breaking in. I we heard a

2321
02:25:38.399 --> 02:25:41.639
noise cry. We thought it was from your cabin.

2322
02:25:41.680 --> 02:25:42.760
That would have been impossible.

2323
02:25:43.520 --> 02:25:46.840
There was nobody there. I'm sure we heard.

2324
02:25:46.840 --> 02:25:49.319
Of course, I'm sure there was no one in here.

2325
02:25:49.360 --> 02:25:49.680
I tell you.

2326
02:25:51.120 --> 02:25:53.200
And now, gentlemen, if you don't mind.

2327
02:25:53.159 --> 02:25:57.879
Wyatt before we go, Yes, mister Allen, I ask your

2328
02:25:57.959 --> 02:26:00.399
wife to remove a veil.

2329
02:26:01.879 --> 02:26:05.040
Marjorie, would you please oblige the gentleman.

2330
02:26:07.360 --> 02:26:08.440
My wife Istra.

2331
02:26:08.239 --> 02:26:17.520
Allen, your wife. But she is beautiful, isn't she? Yes? Yes,

2332
02:26:17.639 --> 02:26:25.319
she is. You too, seem stunned. Quite, yes, quite, Captain Hardy. Come,

2333
02:26:25.840 --> 02:26:26.879
thank you Wyatt.

2334
02:26:26.559 --> 02:26:28.559
One moment, Captain Hardy.

2335
02:26:29.959 --> 02:26:32.719
Would it be too much to ask for a new

2336
02:26:32.959 --> 02:26:33.600
cabin door?

2337
02:26:34.520 --> 02:26:38.559
This one seems to have suffered slightly. Well, I'll see

2338
02:26:38.600 --> 02:26:38.799
to it.

2339
02:26:39.440 --> 02:26:44.719
Good night, gentlemen, hurry to my cabin.

2340
02:26:46.440 --> 02:26:46.879
His wife.

2341
02:26:47.440 --> 02:26:48.440
Did you see his wife?

2342
02:26:48.639 --> 02:26:51.719
Yes? She was hideous.

2343
02:26:51.959 --> 02:26:55.559
He's rave about her beauty. Why he's mad, captain, hopelessly mad?

2344
02:26:56.319 --> 02:27:00.799
She was horribly ugly. Yep, but she was familiar. I've

2345
02:27:00.920 --> 02:27:06.399
seen how before I know it? Where where did you

2346
02:27:06.520 --> 02:27:09.600
lose the door leading to the adjoining cabin? No, it

2347
02:27:09.920 --> 02:27:13.120
was opened slightly. Some one could have left Wiret's cabin

2348
02:27:13.159 --> 02:27:15.440
and reached the passageway through the empty one next to it.

2349
02:27:15.840 --> 02:27:20.719
Hard Eh. Yes, your hand eh covered with blood or

2350
02:27:20.760 --> 02:27:22.559
you must have cut it yourself when you when you

2351
02:27:22.639 --> 02:27:26.120
fell here. Let me wash it off. No, no, it

2352
02:27:26.280 --> 02:27:30.799
isn't cut Y's. But that blood it isn't mine. With them?

2353
02:27:30.840 --> 02:27:36.120
Where did you the oblong box, mister Allen, the oblong box?

2354
02:27:43.639 --> 02:27:46.479
What was behind this terrible mystery? Neither of us knew.

2355
02:27:47.520 --> 02:27:49.360
We would inform the police as soon as we put

2356
02:27:49.399 --> 02:27:52.799
the port. From then on I saw nothing of wiret

2357
02:27:54.200 --> 02:27:57.239
Two days passed since the incident in his cabin. Now

2358
02:27:57.360 --> 02:27:59.760
the second day, Captain Hardy warned all the passengers of

2359
02:27:59.799 --> 02:28:02.760
what was in store for us. We were forbidden on deck,

2360
02:28:02.920 --> 02:28:06.040
confined to our cabins. We were being blown out to

2361
02:28:06.079 --> 02:28:10.040
sea by a furious hurricane wind. On the fateful night,

2362
02:28:10.159 --> 02:28:13.280
I was lying fully clothed on my bed. The sea

2363
02:28:13.479 --> 02:28:17.040
was sickening. The ship was yawing terribly with each plunge.

2364
02:28:17.280 --> 02:28:19.760
I was expecting the worst at any moment. Then, suddenly,

2365
02:28:19.840 --> 02:28:22.479
above the roar of the terrible gale, I heard a

2366
02:28:22.559 --> 02:28:23.680
strange sound.

2367
02:28:23.559 --> 02:28:25.360
Coming from the passageway before my cabin.

2368
02:28:26.040 --> 02:28:29.000
I was a little bewildered at first. For a few

2369
02:28:29.079 --> 02:28:37.280
moments I sat there on my bed wondering, and then Edgar, Edgar,

2370
02:28:39.200 --> 02:28:39.600
you hear me?

2371
02:28:40.079 --> 02:28:40.479
What is it?

2372
02:28:40.799 --> 02:28:43.120
I need your help? Edgar, I need your help.

2373
02:28:43.200 --> 02:28:44.680
Go back to your cabin. Why at your hair.

2374
02:28:44.799 --> 02:28:45.840
Get out of the passageway.

2375
02:28:45.879 --> 02:28:48.879
It's dangerous the Shipley Please off on the door. You

2376
02:28:49.000 --> 02:28:51.200
must you must help me. You're my friend.

2377
02:28:51.239 --> 02:28:58.600
Had to please very well, what good heaven my box.

2378
02:28:59.319 --> 02:29:02.319
I've got to get it. I got to the ship

2379
02:29:02.399 --> 02:29:03.719
may break into it any moment.

2380
02:29:04.079 --> 02:29:05.559
Please please, help me.

2381
02:29:05.639 --> 02:29:06.879
I can't manage it along.

2382
02:29:07.079 --> 02:29:09.040
Please, you must be completely insane.

2383
02:29:09.600 --> 02:29:10.559
The star is too high.

2384
02:29:10.559 --> 02:29:11.440
It's suicide.

2385
02:29:11.479 --> 02:29:12.959
I tell you you'll be thrown off the ball, just

2386
02:29:13.079 --> 02:29:14.000
as or you.

2387
02:29:14.040 --> 02:29:16.079
Don't have to go on deck. I have some rule.

2388
02:29:16.360 --> 02:29:18.319
I laugh myself to the stairs, hardly safe.

2389
02:29:18.719 --> 02:29:21.200
Please just put your wife. You can't leave your wife alone.

2390
02:29:21.239 --> 02:29:22.440
Now go back to her.

2391
02:29:22.879 --> 02:29:26.200
Snap out up the stairs. Please, you're my friend.

2392
02:29:26.879 --> 02:29:31.559
Please go, please, very well, to the top of the stairs.

2393
02:29:32.079 --> 02:29:34.000
The other end, take the other end.

2394
02:29:37.319 --> 02:29:37.559
Go on.

2395
02:29:38.159 --> 02:29:40.120
I haven't hurry. It's heavy.

2396
02:29:41.799 --> 02:29:46.239
Yeah, it's a way up these stairs. Got it here,

2397
02:29:47.200 --> 02:29:48.760
don't drop it in, don't drop it?

2398
02:29:49.879 --> 02:29:50.239
All right?

2399
02:29:51.040 --> 02:29:54.959
All right, a little turther, just a little further.

2400
02:29:56.399 --> 02:30:01.920
Well there, this is as far as I go.

2401
02:30:02.159 --> 02:30:03.719
Oh, thank you, thank you.

2402
02:30:04.360 --> 02:30:05.559
You don't know what this means.

2403
02:30:05.680 --> 02:30:08.319
Now go back to your cabin. I can't.

2404
02:30:09.120 --> 02:30:11.079
I must get my box on dick, then I leave.

2405
02:30:11.120 --> 02:30:11.399
Don't know.

2406
02:30:11.520 --> 02:30:14.840
Please one other paper, pull this hatch while I push

2407
02:30:14.879 --> 02:30:16.879
the box out. I beg you whyt't use your head.

2408
02:30:16.920 --> 02:30:17.879
The water all swamps.

2409
02:30:18.200 --> 02:30:18.719
Listen to it.

2410
02:30:18.799 --> 02:30:23.079
Please go please, then stand back. I'll open the hatch.

2411
02:30:23.959 --> 02:30:25.280
I'm not responsible for you.

2412
02:30:25.360 --> 02:30:31.399
You hurry, come found, you hurry by swamped. I Heaven's sake,

2413
02:30:31.479 --> 02:30:32.479
Why you'll never make it?

2414
02:30:33.520 --> 02:30:33.879
Wyatt?

2415
02:30:33.920 --> 02:30:36.559
What's house? Come back to before? Come back? I'm back

2416
02:30:36.600 --> 02:30:37.120
to close it.

2417
02:30:44.639 --> 02:30:47.719
Well, come back, captain.

2418
02:30:47.959 --> 02:30:50.600
Can't help me? Help me close it quickly?

2419
02:30:50.959 --> 02:30:51.520
In that heaven?

2420
02:30:51.600 --> 02:30:53.639
Say now, prsh.

2421
02:30:56.280 --> 02:30:57.840
No, what didn't I the rationing?

2422
02:30:57.879 --> 02:30:58.399
Were you're doing?

2423
02:30:58.719 --> 02:30:59.959
Wyatt? Whyatt?

2424
02:31:00.040 --> 02:31:00.639
He's out there?

2425
02:31:01.120 --> 02:31:02.479
He took the bottle as heaven.

2426
02:31:02.600 --> 02:31:05.399
She's done for it's too late to help it now.

2427
02:31:05.920 --> 02:31:07.639
I'm afraid we're going to have roll around the chip.

2428
02:31:07.840 --> 02:31:11.120
She's bright starboard life for they were night for it. Yes,

2429
02:31:11.200 --> 02:31:13.520
but Missus Wyatt, she's below. She'll be killed.

2430
02:31:13.719 --> 02:31:14.440
I'll get her heart.

2431
02:31:14.440 --> 02:31:17.879
The starboard boat, the gun, the starboard boat. Missus Watt

2432
02:31:18.200 --> 02:31:21.159
to the boats. Missus Wyatt was thinking.

2433
02:31:21.120 --> 02:31:28.799
Come on, hurry, hurry this way, run in the name

2434
02:31:28.799 --> 02:31:34.600
of Heaven, woman, come on quick, no blow, Missus Watt,

2435
02:31:35.079 --> 02:31:50.680
Missus Wyatt. Then suddenly she disappeared before me. Water gushed

2436
02:31:50.680 --> 02:31:53.879
down the passageway. She was swallowed by it. I struggled

2437
02:31:53.920 --> 02:31:56.440
forward and made my way to the starboard boat. I

2438
02:31:56.639 --> 02:31:59.520
jumped for the swinging David and lowered myself as speedily

2439
02:31:59.559 --> 02:32:02.959
as pussle into a longboat Captain Hardy joined me with

2440
02:32:03.040 --> 02:32:07.319
three others of his crew. And then, just as we

2441
02:32:07.479 --> 02:32:11.319
pushed out from the trembling mass of wreckage, I saw

2442
02:32:11.399 --> 02:32:18.120
it hard he did too, standing to act. I saw

2443
02:32:18.319 --> 02:32:23.680
Wyatt he was binding himself tightly to the to the

2444
02:32:23.840 --> 02:32:28.840
oblong box. He stood there for a moment. I thought,

2445
02:32:29.120 --> 02:32:33.000
laughing that in one brief instant he was gone with

2446
02:32:33.120 --> 02:32:35.760
a ship into the sea.

2447
02:32:36.559 --> 02:32:39.239
And that's that's all.

2448
02:32:40.360 --> 02:32:42.040
Yes, I see.

2449
02:32:43.040 --> 02:32:45.399
Would you gentlemen be so kind as to follow me?

2450
02:32:46.479 --> 02:32:48.040
This should prove rather interesting?

2451
02:32:48.360 --> 02:33:01.959
This didn't Yeah, Captain uh, when when did you find

2452
02:33:02.040 --> 02:33:05.559
this this box? Yesterday afternoon?

2453
02:33:06.920 --> 02:33:17.040
In here? Please, mister Allen, hand me that lantern and

2454
02:33:17.280 --> 02:33:20.920
watch the stairs, please there rather sharp here be done.

2455
02:33:22.639 --> 02:33:25.479
Ordinarily we would not have bothered with a floating body,

2456
02:33:26.319 --> 02:33:30.280
generally some who wretched from a wrecked vessel. However, due

2457
02:33:30.319 --> 02:33:33.799
to the box and the peculiar circumstances, I thought it

2458
02:33:34.000 --> 02:33:37.159
best to hoist it on board. Yes, but for the

2459
02:33:37.399 --> 02:33:40.639
decomposition the salt water helped preserve them for a while.

2460
02:33:41.399 --> 02:33:45.000
I thought we could reach to London safely with them. However,

2461
02:33:45.239 --> 02:33:47.719
since we were blown off our course by that wind,

2462
02:33:48.239 --> 02:33:50.000
it would be a good day and a half before

2463
02:33:50.040 --> 02:33:53.040
we reach land. I'm afraid I should have to commit

2464
02:33:53.159 --> 02:33:58.120
them both back to the sea. Mister Allen, swing that

2465
02:33:58.319 --> 02:33:59.440
door open, please, will you all.

2466
02:34:02.440 --> 02:34:09.639
Over there in that corner, Yes, yes, that's the box.

2467
02:34:10.120 --> 02:34:13.639
Captain Horda, would you kindly hold the lantern while I

2468
02:34:13.760 --> 02:34:18.440
lift this blanket? Is this the man you call.

2469
02:34:18.399 --> 02:34:24.639
Wyatt for a devil? Hardly recognizable? Yes, that's why it.

2470
02:34:25.079 --> 02:34:27.719
And now, mister Ellen, if you would give me a

2471
02:34:27.840 --> 02:34:30.479
hand with the top of this box. It had been

2472
02:34:30.639 --> 02:34:33.680
firmly named. However we pried it loose and we took

2473
02:34:33.719 --> 02:34:44.159
it aboard. Just puller that in carefully. Good Heavens, even

2474
02:34:44.360 --> 02:34:48.399
after two days at sea, death did not destroy that

2475
02:34:48.559 --> 02:34:49.399
waxen mutic.

2476
02:34:49.760 --> 02:34:51.159
It's almost impossible.

2477
02:34:52.280 --> 02:34:54.159
Still so beautiful.

2478
02:34:54.440 --> 02:35:00.040
You notice the wound over the heart, Yes, mister, and

2479
02:35:01.239 --> 02:35:06.040
that was the beauty mister Wyatt talked of where of course,

2480
02:35:07.079 --> 02:35:11.079
this must have been his wife. But Betwick, the other

2481
02:35:11.120 --> 02:35:14.600
missus Wyatt? Why, yes, of course I knew I see

2482
02:35:14.639 --> 02:35:20.479
her somewhere before, the maid, their personal maid. Yes, now,

2483
02:35:20.520 --> 02:35:23.959
I remember she tried to tell me something before she

2484
02:35:25.280 --> 02:35:31.319
she drowned. Wyatt murdered his real wife. If only we

2485
02:35:31.440 --> 02:35:34.399
had done something sooner murdered his wife.

2486
02:35:35.280 --> 02:35:35.879
How could he?

2487
02:35:36.440 --> 02:35:36.680
Why?

2488
02:35:37.680 --> 02:35:42.760
Insanely jealous, terribly jealous. To die with her would be

2489
02:35:42.920 --> 02:35:47.239
better than to live with her and her beauty. He

2490
02:35:47.360 --> 02:35:49.920
planned to murder her on that trip when I saw

2491
02:35:50.000 --> 02:35:55.719
them stowing that box. Remember the groans she was murdered

2492
02:35:55.760 --> 02:36:02.520
that night, the blood it was fresh. Remember the tapping

2493
02:36:02.559 --> 02:36:09.159
we heard as he nailed her in this cart, I, hodie,

2494
02:36:10.239 --> 02:36:17.600
I think we'd better leave. Yes, yes, why your wife

2495
02:36:17.760 --> 02:36:22.239
is very, very beautiful.

2496
02:36:42.200 --> 02:36:46.559
From the time one pages of the past, we have

2497
02:36:46.760 --> 02:36:55.719
brought you the story the oddlong box bell keeper all

2498
02:36:56.120 --> 02:36:56.559
the bell.

2499
02:37:15.799 --> 02:37:21.479
Well, my dear, I suppose soon the sun will come

2500
02:37:21.600 --> 02:37:27.079
up and I'll have to go to well, wherever it

2501
02:37:27.399 --> 02:37:34.319
is I reside south. With all of that in mind,

2502
02:37:35.399 --> 02:37:40.040
please be careful as you make your way to your home,

2503
02:37:41.079 --> 02:37:45.319
as you make that often covered route through the woods,

2504
02:37:46.120 --> 02:37:51.479
over the stream, past the covered bridge, as you head

2505
02:37:51.639 --> 02:37:58.040
deeper and deeper into the other world you know the

2506
02:37:58.120 --> 02:38:01.719
one of them. And as you head into your hole,

2507
02:38:02.559 --> 02:38:06.040
and as you lay your head on that soft, cool

2508
02:38:06.239 --> 02:38:10.920
pillow and head to the land of naar, do me

2509
02:38:11.040 --> 02:38:15.399
one favor. In fact, do me too, come back and

2510
02:38:15.520 --> 02:38:20.360
see me and be thankful for what you have,
