00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:12.720
Ah, I see you found me
once again. Very good. I'm happy
2
00:00:12.720 --> 00:00:16.480
to see you here. Oh what's
that? Oh no, no, no,
3
00:00:16.559 --> 00:00:21.280
not at all, not at all. I'm always happy when you twist
4
00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:26.399
that little radio dial until you find
me. I guess in a sense haunting
5
00:00:26.440 --> 00:00:31.879
the airwaves. Oh, what an
absurd concept. Well, I hope you're
6
00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:37.000
comfortable, because I have quite an
eerie one for you tonight, one that
7
00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:44.399
I believe is completely true to life, because of course, the corpse does
8
00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:50.560
always laugh. Last, Oh my, are you comfortable? Please put your
9
00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:54.799
feet up. You're no stranger to
me. You're my dear friend. And
10
00:00:54.920 --> 00:00:58.359
yes, my dear dear, I'm
what was that? Oh no, no,
11
00:00:58.359 --> 00:01:00.640
no, they can't get in.
Don't even worry about them. They
12
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:04.200
don't even know you're here. I'm
sure you just be comfortable, and let's
13
00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:08.640
get ready to listen to something something
a little chill, chill on an already
14
00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:42.719
cold evening. Right now, Inner
Sanctum, mysteries, Good evening, friends
15
00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:47.400
of the creaking door. This is
your host to welcome you once again into
16
00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:53.480
the inner Sanctum. Come in,
meet Edgar, our electrical wizard. At
17
00:01:53.519 --> 00:02:00.719
school, he was voted the most
likely to shock him there his wife with
18
00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:04.560
a dull name, though he plugged
her into a wall socket. Now you
19
00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:08.759
said either way, she sparkled,
Yes, sir. Now she's the light
20
00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:20.800
of the party. Ever roll your
eyes over the dream of a half million
21
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:25.719
dollars? Hm, You did careful, friend, or that dream would become
22
00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:32.639
a nightmare. We're in White Oaks, a gloomy estate somewhere along the jagged
23
00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:38.520
coastline between Crisco and Seattle. On
the floor in a corner of the library,
24
00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:43.120
staring blindly at the ceiling is an
old man. Across the room is
25
00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:46.879
a young man, mortally wounded but
fighting to keep the thread of life from
26
00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:53.439
snapping. Ten feet away from him
is an old style floor safe. The
27
00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:58.039
door of a safe is blown off
and the contents scattering lying nearby. He
28
00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:04.360
tries to get up, but a
cat his hand creeps to a bundle of
29
00:03:04.439 --> 00:03:19.120
cash and drops helplessly over it.
Gus Gus Miller, Yeah, open your
30
00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:23.280
eyes, Come on, son,
show fight. Don't cash in yet?
31
00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:32.240
Hm? Who are you? Sheriff
Ben Lomas, Gus Gus, how'd you
32
00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:38.039
know my name went through your bags? You've been masquerading as Tom Reid.
33
00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:46.520
Yeah, well I might in the
County hospital you take a lot of killing.
34
00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:53.159
But next stop is the County Morgue
Race. For me, you wouldn't
35
00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:59.080
be busting with curiosity about me,
shriff, you wouldn't be uh busting to
36
00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:04.400
talks. Uh hm cayse I am
if you listen, that's what I'm here
37
00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:14.240
for. Gus Miller's my name.
Check back of my pedigree and you'll find
38
00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:17.240
I've been a number more than I've
been Gus Miller. It's a kid.
39
00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:20.680
I went right out of an orphans
home into the big jail of San Quentin.
40
00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:27.759
Number five six two three one seven
was my name for ten years.
41
00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:33.480
Five six two three one seven.
Every night before turning in, I swore
42
00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:40.519
that five six two three one seven. It's how many bucks would cost Society
43
00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:46.000
square accounts with me. Come on. I was a day out of the
44
00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:48.959
Klink, laying around the Frisco docks, wondering where I can hustle a buck.
45
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:55.240
Big liner just come in out of
the Pacific fog. Well, those
46
00:04:55.399 --> 00:05:01.360
swang pleasure liners. I watched the
passengers getting uh all dressed the cue without
47
00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:06.160
a care in the world. Mong
them was Tom Reid, tricked out in
48
00:05:06.199 --> 00:05:12.199
a white sailing suit. My eyes
kept wandering over there, I thought,
49
00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:15.959
kept jabbing at me that here is
the guy I could be if I played
50
00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:19.800
my cards right. We're about the
same age bill, the average looking guys,
51
00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:25.879
except that Reed was a little pale
around the gills. All Reed had
52
00:05:25.959 --> 00:05:30.399
on me was a bank or you
drive it. Carl rolled up and Reid
53
00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:35.199
went to it. I went after
what scheme I had in mind, and
54
00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:40.199
I'm not clear on it anymore.
Yes, is there a there something you
55
00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:46.720
want? A driving north? Looking
for a ride iron? Yeah, looking
56
00:05:46.720 --> 00:06:00.079
to get a hitch? Okay,
hop in. I'm Tom Reid. My
57
00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:02.600
name's Gus Miller. How far are
you going? Uh? As far as
58
00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:09.240
I can get, I guess.
No destination, No destination? How far
59
00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:13.199
you going? Oh? About two
hundred miles? White Oaks? You ever
60
00:06:13.240 --> 00:06:15.319
hear of white oaks? No?
Never did the show place of the Pacific
61
00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:20.040
coast. I'm the last of the
reeds of white Oaks. You bragging or
62
00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:26.639
crying? M both? Maybe?
Why are you so tough? You're too
63
00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:30.800
rich for my blood? Maybe?
And I suppose there is something indecent about
64
00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:34.199
too much money? If bad?
Have you got too much money? A
65
00:06:34.360 --> 00:06:40.279
half million in three days? Why
in three days? My inheritance comes through
66
00:06:40.360 --> 00:06:44.160
them. That's why I'm back in
the States. How do you collect a
67
00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:47.600
half a million? There's a bank
teller pilot up in gold pieces in front
68
00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:53.600
of no A blind uncle you haven't
seen in years, taps his cane along
69
00:06:53.639 --> 00:06:58.079
the floor towards a safe that's been
in the family for generations and opens it
70
00:06:58.759 --> 00:07:02.360
and hands your half of me,
just like that, just like a my
71
00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:09.959
father distrusted banks. I turned the
figure over in my mind. A half
72
00:07:10.120 --> 00:07:14.879
million h Reid looking queerly at me
out of the corner of his eye.
73
00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:19.079
You're burning up with temptation. Million
I I don't know what you talking about.
74
00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:24.279
Poses me for three days, then
go off with all that money.
75
00:07:25.160 --> 00:07:28.839
Uncle Walter will never detect the masquerade. He's blind, and you're a pretty
76
00:07:28.839 --> 00:07:33.160
good faker. That's what you're telling
yourself. I said, I, uh,
77
00:07:33.439 --> 00:07:40.000
where are you all the time?
I'm posting dead somewhere. You've murdered
78
00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:46.439
me. Oh, if I had
any idea like that. For a minute,
79
00:07:46.959 --> 00:07:49.920
Raid's open us. Put the ky
wash on her. We chewed up
80
00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:55.399
about a hundred miles and I caught
that funny look cross and Reid's face again.
81
00:07:56.560 --> 00:08:00.279
I watched the hand clap over his
heart raids, seems to say bagging.
82
00:08:00.319 --> 00:08:03.920
The car began to circle whilely I
grabbed a wheel in the nicke of
83
00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:11.800
time, I pulled her aside,
shut the motor. Let's get you read
84
00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:18.360
my my heart, how bad is
it? How a little doctor gave it
85
00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:24.360
a year. I've been short changed
by two weeks. Get me to a
86
00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:31.439
doctor, I stall. There was
a little man counting up five hundred thousand,
87
00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:37.120
and my mind slowly by one breed's
eyes around me. They were dying
88
00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:41.120
eyes. But I caught a twinkle
as if you were amused over myself.
89
00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:48.919
It's your chance, mely, just
sit it out of the stars. Forget
90
00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:54.799
the doctor. I like most about
you as your sense of humor. I'm
91
00:08:54.840 --> 00:09:01.960
taking her that doctor. Thanks doctor, don't bother. It's too late.
92
00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:11.159
Red bury me somewhere as as Gus
Miller. You'll be tom read for three
93
00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:22.600
days. It was too late to
play boy scout and race for the doctor.
94
00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:26.440
Reid was the deadest man in the
world. I told myself that reed
95
00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:31.919
dying crack practically made me his.
There I didn't have to tell myself anything.
96
00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:37.240
The little man was counting five hundred
thousand in my head fast by fifties.
97
00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:48.000
Oh, I found a natural lake
about five miles up a side road.
98
00:09:48.840 --> 00:09:52.000
The region was a dead end.
Not a house or a human anywhere
99
00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:56.720
in miles. I swapped clothes with
Reid. We hit his pockets with stones
100
00:09:56.080 --> 00:10:16.639
and said goodbye. Let him slip
well, A downtrodden hill is on the
101
00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:22.200
upgrade now A half million spun tildys
nice page just for giving a corpse a
102
00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:31.919
bath at a roadside lay. Yes, might run into something unexpected at White
103
00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:39.840
Oak. Still, he determined to
try or fry. Let's see what it
104
00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:48.159
is, shall we. I got
to White Oaks in an electric storm,
105
00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:56.440
where the skies giving me a twenty
one gun swore the house was up on
106
00:10:56.480 --> 00:11:01.720
an elevation. Everything about it seemed
to say keep eye out. Not a
107
00:11:01.960 --> 00:11:11.039
soul in sight? Where was the
blind? Uncle? Anybody home? I
108
00:11:11.159 --> 00:11:16.559
been hear the ecko hanging in the
air. Then I heard it tapping,
109
00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:24.360
coming at me out of the shallows. His hand reached for me. I
110
00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:33.159
could feel my flesh. Craym oh, huckle, waller h give me your
111
00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:39.039
hand if you're sure. Huh.
It's been so long since I felt the
112
00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:46.000
warmth of a reed hand. Your
hand. This perspiety, but it's close
113
00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:52.600
in here. I'm I've been in
a rush since Frisco stepping wrong. Your
114
00:11:52.879 --> 00:12:00.799
voice, it's uh, it's changed
for the better. It's uh deeper,
115
00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:07.039
but playing on her, I don't
know who was climbing. It's been a
116
00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:09.360
long time, Uncle, Yes,
yes, it's it's been a long time.
117
00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:18.960
Margaret, your fiance will be here
tomorrow to greet you. Margaret sh
118
00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:26.080
she's coming tomorrow. Yes. Uh, how is Margaret. She's grown into
119
00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:31.320
a fine woman. She'll make you
a good wife, Tom. When did
120
00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:37.240
the wedding bells ring out? The
day you take your inheritance as your father
121
00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:41.000
wished it. You and Margaret were
playmates his children, and your father wanted
122
00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:48.440
someone close to have his money after
you. Uh. This letter from Margaret
123
00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:52.919
came the other day. You'd like
to read it? Sure, yeah,
124
00:12:52.919 --> 00:13:05.639
I'll read it in bed. A
good night, nephew. Oo a bride
125
00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:09.960
went with a five hundred thousand I
have him the letter. I needed a
126
00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:16.919
line on her. I read the
opening paragraph again and again till it was
127
00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:22.519
whispering in my brain. I wonder
how it will be meeting Tom again.
128
00:13:22.679 --> 00:13:28.480
Uncle Walter, we were practically infants
for the last time together. The questions
129
00:13:28.480 --> 00:13:33.519
that keep crowding my mind? What
does he look like? What does he
130
00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:39.960
think about? Will he like me
enough? And will you like me too?
131
00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:50.279
Dear uncle Walter, I had all
a line on her I needed.
132
00:13:50.120 --> 00:14:01.559
Margaret didn't know Tom read from Adam. The next morning I drove into the
133
00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:05.879
one Horseberg they called town. I
wanted to buy a paper in some odds
134
00:14:05.879 --> 00:14:09.759
and ends. I left the general
store and a fat little guy and a
135
00:14:09.799 --> 00:14:15.639
seaman's outfit who had been hanging around
inside and followed me out. They started
136
00:14:15.679 --> 00:14:20.679
the car and he drifted over going
to white Oak's fan Hey, sure,
137
00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:26.360
how'd you get the car? It's
the job read rather than Frisco yesterday.
138
00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:31.799
Can I ride along with you?
Yeah? You're going to White Oak?
139
00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:50.039
Uh huh, I'm Tom Reid's guest. Okay, sure, happy you a
140
00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:54.759
friend of town, will kind of. I was the presser on the ship.
141
00:14:54.799 --> 00:14:58.200
He came over on We hit it
off and I got invited to his
142
00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:03.840
Weddy. What'd you do with Tom
Reid? Mister? I don't get you.
143
00:15:05.440 --> 00:15:09.639
I get you. You're playing at
being read. You're wearing his clothes,
144
00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:13.480
you're driving his car. When you
pay for some junk at the store,
145
00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:18.919
you flashed a wallet I remember seeing
on red. But uh, it
146
00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:26.320
needn't a sweat. Maybe we could
do business for how much? Half?
147
00:15:26.919 --> 00:15:33.720
If you're just masquerading, or if
you killed him? I uh didn't kill
148
00:15:33.759 --> 00:15:41.080
him a heart attack, did it? I just ditched the body, is
149
00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:46.799
it? Half? I'll let you
know what what are you stopping for?
150
00:15:48.440 --> 00:15:54.600
Uh? Get hold of myself for
a minute. Find my smokes here this
151
00:15:54.799 --> 00:16:02.360
compartment. I thought you said,
smokes, bitch, smokes with all six
152
00:16:02.440 --> 00:16:08.559
bullets. Get out of the car, start for the woods. Is that
153
00:16:08.679 --> 00:16:12.279
how you want? That's the way. It's gotta be all or nothing,
154
00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:22.919
No deals with a blackmailer. He
sat down on a slow, wriggling motion,
155
00:16:23.679 --> 00:16:30.600
then fell over on his side into
the weeds. I started a drag
156
00:16:30.679 --> 00:16:33.120
him through the weeds and for a
place to hide him until I could get
157
00:16:33.159 --> 00:16:38.360
some tools and bury him later.
And suddenly there's another horn back in the
158
00:16:38.440 --> 00:16:44.080
road, making like crazy some motors
unable to get past my parked car on
159
00:16:44.120 --> 00:16:48.919
a narrow road. I left trace
as he was and ran to the car,
160
00:16:48.679 --> 00:16:53.679
which a girl a snappy convertible move
over. I can't get by.
161
00:16:55.000 --> 00:17:02.000
Sure are you hunting? Hunting?
Oh? Yes, sir at shooting well?
162
00:17:02.279 --> 00:17:07.440
Uh? I took hot shots of
some rabbits any luck. Nah Uh,
163
00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:11.960
I'm a bad shot, too bad? Am I on the road to
164
00:17:11.079 --> 00:17:18.640
White Oaks? Sure you wouldn't be
Margaret, Yes, I'm Margaret Oho,
165
00:17:21.160 --> 00:17:30.599
I'm Tom raid your Tom reed disappointed? Don't mind I staring? Huh?
166
00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:36.319
Aren't you going to show me the
way? Tom? Why you keep starings?
167
00:17:36.319 --> 00:17:41.880
Get my curiosity up? I'm sorry? Like she couldn't control her eyes
168
00:17:44.079 --> 00:17:48.920
put, I followed the direction of
a stair sent me had hit me.
169
00:17:51.200 --> 00:17:55.240
Murder was written all over me.
There was blood all over my clothes and
170
00:17:55.440 --> 00:17:59.680
my shirt, right down on my
shoes. It was as if Tracy's corpse
171
00:17:59.720 --> 00:18:03.160
was staying him beside me, telling
it to the world. Who knows?
172
00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:08.000
Woods You killed somebody in there.
That's what those shots were. You killed
173
00:18:08.119 --> 00:18:11.799
Uncle Walter, And now you're talking
crazy. A hallboy stuck me up.
174
00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:17.559
I grabbed his gun and finished it. You don't believe me? Huh No?
175
00:18:18.480 --> 00:18:22.279
And you're not Tom Reid. You
got a picture of him grown up?
176
00:18:22.319 --> 00:18:27.079
Eh? Yes, nice and frank
and open. Huh. Being that
177
00:18:27.240 --> 00:18:33.480
honest is gonna cost you something.
Well, don't you scream or something?
178
00:18:33.519 --> 00:18:37.799
I'd rather do this exactly where you
are it's opened the gun and the maroon
179
00:18:37.880 --> 00:18:42.079
convert him? Do you know how
to shoot it? Try me and see,
180
00:18:42.359 --> 00:18:48.000
kid, I got to try.
Whether I like it or not,
181
00:18:49.640 --> 00:19:06.519
I gotta knows. I shoot him
for a girl. My try now he
182
00:19:06.559 --> 00:19:11.119
was shooting first minute easier for me
in a way which like self defense.
183
00:19:12.359 --> 00:19:19.680
Uh still kidding myself, funny.
It was all goodbye. I met a
184
00:19:19.720 --> 00:19:26.519
girl and killed him. All in
less than five minutes. Five hundred thousand
185
00:19:26.720 --> 00:19:33.519
was coming a lot harder than I
figured, alright, it was running a
186
00:19:33.519 --> 00:19:37.079
lot of time late. An hour
was the grabber was in the safe one
187
00:19:37.079 --> 00:19:40.839
way or another, and lamb is
far from the two stiffs and the blind
188
00:19:40.920 --> 00:19:45.160
uncles. I could get. I
got to the safe and began to work
189
00:19:45.160 --> 00:19:55.079
at the dials. Her uncle Walter
tapping his way to it. Mm palm,
190
00:19:56.680 --> 00:20:02.079
yes, yes, uncle Walder,
Oh my glitt No, not not
191
00:20:02.279 --> 00:20:07.720
yet. She'll be wrong and give
me your hand if you but where is
192
00:20:07.759 --> 00:20:12.839
it? Yeah? Well what do
you do read? Palms? Are your
193
00:20:12.880 --> 00:20:19.440
fingers? Yes, nephew. The
reflection of dirt on the palm is if
194
00:20:19.480 --> 00:20:25.119
you've had your hands on the ground, it's not bad. You ought to
195
00:20:25.160 --> 00:20:30.799
be a detective, do you know
the smell of blood let on my hand.
196
00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:36.759
What's wrong card or a skipt Now
listen carefully. I got a gun
197
00:20:36.759 --> 00:20:40.720
in my hand pointing right at you. You had to tap your way to
198
00:20:40.799 --> 00:20:44.240
that floor safe and open it or
no stalling or no questions. But I
199
00:20:44.279 --> 00:20:48.200
said no questions. But I don't
know the combination from memory. I said,
200
00:20:48.200 --> 00:20:52.440
no stalling. If you listen,
the combination is on the memorandum pad
201
00:20:52.519 --> 00:20:57.440
in the library desk. I get
it. He tapped its way along the
202
00:20:57.480 --> 00:21:03.200
floor to the desk, stoop over
a drawer and stayed there in a cross
203
00:21:03.279 --> 00:21:07.799
like a guy in a trench who
was a gun pointing in front of him.
204
00:21:07.839 --> 00:21:10.799
Are you crazy, old coat?
What good's a gun gonna do?
205
00:21:10.880 --> 00:21:21.319
You're blind, You won't get a
scent impostor. He shot me perfect marks
206
00:21:22.720 --> 00:21:27.400
like you could see right along with
anybody. He aimed in the direction of
207
00:21:27.480 --> 00:21:33.880
my voice. I figured. I
moved to a side quickly and emptied my
208
00:21:33.960 --> 00:21:52.920
gun. Huh, that's all of
a show. You fixed a glistening charge
209
00:21:53.000 --> 00:21:56.599
in the can and blew the safe
wall. It was a trick I picked
210
00:21:56.640 --> 00:22:03.799
up in the storm. White Oaks. H nerve for you, still going
211
00:22:03.880 --> 00:22:10.480
for the money with all those bullets
in it. Like you said, I
212
00:22:10.480 --> 00:22:15.200
I don't kill easy. Well,
you're tough, but the joke's on you
213
00:22:15.279 --> 00:22:21.000
all around shuts on me dying empty
hand him. Oh it's on you even
214
00:22:21.000 --> 00:22:26.400
more than that. Son. The
old man wasn't blind, and he wasn't
215
00:22:26.519 --> 00:22:33.039
Uncle Walter. You killed no for
a fact like you. He was just
216
00:22:33.079 --> 00:22:38.640
playing along. He'd been the butler
before he killed Uncle Walter. You see,
217
00:22:38.799 --> 00:22:44.559
he never thought Tom Reids bad hard
to allow him to take that trip
218
00:22:44.599 --> 00:22:52.720
from Honolulu. Well, what's funny, son, The joker's on me?
219
00:22:53.000 --> 00:23:10.920
Or funny with a young man plucked
his rise to fortune and then finds he
220
00:23:10.960 --> 00:23:18.559
can't even get up off his back
one barn blessing. Though he's had all
221
00:23:18.640 --> 00:23:26.960
the time now in the next world
to cut off that five hundred thousands infractions,
222
00:23:29.680 --> 00:23:42.559
May he rust in peace? Friends, It's time once again to close
223
00:23:42.720 --> 00:23:48.319
that creaking door until next week at
the same time when we'll be back with
224
00:23:48.359 --> 00:23:52.599
a little hunk of marra. You'll
be sure to listen, don't you.
225
00:23:53.920 --> 00:24:34.680
Until next week? Then the Nines
as a screen inner sanctum has come to
226
00:24:34.720 --> 00:24:40.279
you through the worldwide facilities of the
United States Armed Forces, Radio and television
227
00:24:40.319 --> 00:26:33.200
service, a little happy Tunes,
and a very fruitful night of scares and
228
00:26:33.440 --> 00:26:37.440
fun, few giggles. I think
I heard you make a few sounds yourself.
229
00:26:38.319 --> 00:26:40.799
Or what's that? Oh no,
no, no, no no,
230
00:26:41.000 --> 00:26:44.480
don't worry about that. No,
no, no, nothing to be concerned
231
00:26:44.480 --> 00:26:47.960
about here, my friends. But
I do hope you know how much I
232
00:26:48.039 --> 00:26:52.279
enjoy spending this time with you.
What what's that? Oh no, no,
233
00:26:52.279 --> 00:26:56.119
no, My name is simply unimportant. To be honest, I don't
234
00:26:56.160 --> 00:27:00.680
really believe I have a name anymore. Anyhow, If you want to talk
235
00:27:00.720 --> 00:27:03.960
to me directly and you don't have
access to your Ouiji board, you're welcome
236
00:27:04.000 --> 00:27:11.279
to send me an email at Weird
Mysteriespod at gmail dot com. You know
237
00:27:11.359 --> 00:27:14.400
I love hearing from you. In
fact, I may be reading some of
238
00:27:14.440 --> 00:27:18.319
your letters in the next episode,
but of course you'll have to wait until
239
00:27:18.319 --> 00:27:22.920
tomorrow for that. So now I
say get some rest in your warm bed
240
00:27:23.519 --> 00:27:27.559
and never forget how lucky you are
to have it. Good night, my
241
00:27:27.599 --> 00:27:45.599
dear, until tomorrow Night,
1
00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:12.720
Ah, I see you found me
once again. Very good. I'm happy
2
00:00:12.720 --> 00:00:16.480
to see you here. Oh what's
that? Oh no, no, no,
3
00:00:16.559 --> 00:00:21.280
not at all, not at all. I'm always happy when you twist
4
00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:26.399
that little radio dial until you find
me. I guess in a sense haunting
5
00:00:26.440 --> 00:00:31.879
the airwaves. Oh, what an
absurd concept. Well, I hope you're
6
00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:37.000
comfortable, because I have quite an
eerie one for you tonight, one that
7
00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:44.399
I believe is completely true to life, because of course, the corpse does
8
00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:50.560
always laugh. Last, Oh my, are you comfortable? Please put your
9
00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:54.799
feet up. You're no stranger to
me. You're my dear friend. And
10
00:00:54.920 --> 00:00:58.359
yes, my dear dear, I'm
what was that? Oh no, no,
11
00:00:58.359 --> 00:01:00.640
no, they can't get in.
Don't even worry about them. They
12
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:04.200
don't even know you're here. I'm
sure you just be comfortable, and let's
13
00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:08.640
get ready to listen to something something
a little chill, chill on an already
14
00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:42.719
cold evening. Right now, Inner
Sanctum, mysteries, Good evening, friends
15
00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:47.400
of the creaking door. This is
your host to welcome you once again into
16
00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:53.480
the inner Sanctum. Come in,
meet Edgar, our electrical wizard. At
17
00:01:53.519 --> 00:02:00.719
school, he was voted the most
likely to shock him there his wife with
18
00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:04.560
a dull name, though he plugged
her into a wall socket. Now you
19
00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:08.759
said either way, she sparkled,
Yes, sir. Now she's the light
20
00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:20.800
of the party. Ever roll your
eyes over the dream of a half million
21
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:25.719
dollars? Hm, You did careful, friend, or that dream would become
22
00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:32.639
a nightmare. We're in White Oaks, a gloomy estate somewhere along the jagged
23
00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:38.520
coastline between Crisco and Seattle. On
the floor in a corner of the library,
24
00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:43.120
staring blindly at the ceiling is an
old man. Across the room is
25
00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:46.879
a young man, mortally wounded but
fighting to keep the thread of life from
26
00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:53.439
snapping. Ten feet away from him
is an old style floor safe. The
27
00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:58.039
door of a safe is blown off
and the contents scattering lying nearby. He
28
00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:04.360
tries to get up, but a
cat his hand creeps to a bundle of
29
00:03:04.439 --> 00:03:19.120
cash and drops helplessly over it.
Gus Gus Miller, Yeah, open your
30
00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:23.280
eyes, Come on, son,
show fight. Don't cash in yet?
31
00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:32.240
Hm? Who are you? Sheriff
Ben Lomas, Gus Gus, how'd you
32
00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:38.039
know my name went through your bags? You've been masquerading as Tom Reid.
33
00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:46.520
Yeah, well I might in the
County hospital you take a lot of killing.
34
00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:53.159
But next stop is the County Morgue
Race. For me, you wouldn't
35
00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:59.080
be busting with curiosity about me,
shriff, you wouldn't be uh busting to
36
00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:04.400
talks. Uh hm cayse I am
if you listen, that's what I'm here
37
00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:14.240
for. Gus Miller's my name.
Check back of my pedigree and you'll find
38
00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:17.240
I've been a number more than I've
been Gus Miller. It's a kid.
39
00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:20.680
I went right out of an orphans
home into the big jail of San Quentin.
40
00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:27.759
Number five six two three one seven
was my name for ten years.
41
00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:33.480
Five six two three one seven.
Every night before turning in, I swore
42
00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:40.519
that five six two three one seven. It's how many bucks would cost Society
43
00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:46.000
square accounts with me. Come on. I was a day out of the
44
00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:48.959
Klink, laying around the Frisco docks, wondering where I can hustle a buck.
45
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:55.240
Big liner just come in out of
the Pacific fog. Well, those
46
00:04:55.399 --> 00:05:01.360
swang pleasure liners. I watched the
passengers getting uh all dressed the cue without
47
00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:06.160
a care in the world. Mong
them was Tom Reid, tricked out in
48
00:05:06.199 --> 00:05:12.199
a white sailing suit. My eyes
kept wandering over there, I thought,
49
00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:15.959
kept jabbing at me that here is
the guy I could be if I played
50
00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:19.800
my cards right. We're about the
same age bill, the average looking guys,
51
00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:25.879
except that Reed was a little pale
around the gills. All Reed had
52
00:05:25.959 --> 00:05:30.399
on me was a bank or you
drive it. Carl rolled up and Reid
53
00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:35.199
went to it. I went after
what scheme I had in mind, and
54
00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:40.199
I'm not clear on it anymore.
Yes, is there a there something you
55
00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:46.720
want? A driving north? Looking
for a ride iron? Yeah, looking
56
00:05:46.720 --> 00:06:00.079
to get a hitch? Okay,
hop in. I'm Tom Reid. My
57
00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:02.600
name's Gus Miller. How far are
you going? Uh? As far as
58
00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:09.240
I can get, I guess.
No destination, No destination? How far
59
00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:13.199
you going? Oh? About two
hundred miles? White Oaks? You ever
60
00:06:13.240 --> 00:06:15.319
hear of white oaks? No?
Never did the show place of the Pacific
61
00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:20.040
coast. I'm the last of the
reeds of white Oaks. You bragging or
62
00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:26.639
crying? M both? Maybe?
Why are you so tough? You're too
63
00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:30.800
rich for my blood? Maybe?
And I suppose there is something indecent about
64
00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:34.199
too much money? If bad?
Have you got too much money? A
65
00:06:34.360 --> 00:06:40.279
half million in three days? Why
in three days? My inheritance comes through
66
00:06:40.360 --> 00:06:44.160
them. That's why I'm back in
the States. How do you collect a
67
00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:47.600
half a million? There's a bank
teller pilot up in gold pieces in front
68
00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:53.600
of no A blind uncle you haven't
seen in years, taps his cane along
69
00:06:53.639 --> 00:06:58.079
the floor towards a safe that's been
in the family for generations and opens it
70
00:06:58.759 --> 00:07:02.360
and hands your half of me,
just like that, just like a my
71
00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:09.959
father distrusted banks. I turned the
figure over in my mind. A half
72
00:07:10.120 --> 00:07:14.879
million h Reid looking queerly at me
out of the corner of his eye.
73
00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:19.079
You're burning up with temptation. Million
I I don't know what you talking about.
74
00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:24.279
Poses me for three days, then
go off with all that money.
75
00:07:25.160 --> 00:07:28.839
Uncle Walter will never detect the masquerade. He's blind, and you're a pretty
76
00:07:28.839 --> 00:07:33.160
good faker. That's what you're telling
yourself. I said, I, uh,
77
00:07:33.439 --> 00:07:40.000
where are you all the time?
I'm posting dead somewhere. You've murdered
78
00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:46.439
me. Oh, if I had
any idea like that. For a minute,
79
00:07:46.959 --> 00:07:49.920
Raid's open us. Put the ky
wash on her. We chewed up
80
00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:55.399
about a hundred miles and I caught
that funny look cross and Reid's face again.
81
00:07:56.560 --> 00:08:00.279
I watched the hand clap over his
heart raids, seems to say bagging.
82
00:08:00.319 --> 00:08:03.920
The car began to circle whilely I
grabbed a wheel in the nicke of
83
00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:11.800
time, I pulled her aside,
shut the motor. Let's get you read
84
00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:18.360
my my heart, how bad is
it? How a little doctor gave it
85
00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:24.360
a year. I've been short changed
by two weeks. Get me to a
86
00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:31.439
doctor, I stall. There was
a little man counting up five hundred thousand,
87
00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:37.120
and my mind slowly by one breed's
eyes around me. They were dying
88
00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:41.120
eyes. But I caught a twinkle
as if you were amused over myself.
89
00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:48.919
It's your chance, mely, just
sit it out of the stars. Forget
90
00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:54.799
the doctor. I like most about
you as your sense of humor. I'm
91
00:08:54.840 --> 00:09:01.960
taking her that doctor. Thanks doctor, don't bother. It's too late.
92
00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:11.159
Red bury me somewhere as as Gus
Miller. You'll be tom read for three
93
00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:22.600
days. It was too late to
play boy scout and race for the doctor.
94
00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:26.440
Reid was the deadest man in the
world. I told myself that reed
95
00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:31.919
dying crack practically made me his.
There I didn't have to tell myself anything.
96
00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:37.240
The little man was counting five hundred
thousand in my head fast by fifties.
97
00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:48.000
Oh, I found a natural lake
about five miles up a side road.
98
00:09:48.840 --> 00:09:52.000
The region was a dead end.
Not a house or a human anywhere
99
00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:56.720
in miles. I swapped clothes with
Reid. We hit his pockets with stones
100
00:09:56.080 --> 00:10:16.639
and said goodbye. Let him slip
well, A downtrodden hill is on the
101
00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:22.200
upgrade now A half million spun tildys
nice page just for giving a corpse a
102
00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:31.919
bath at a roadside lay. Yes, might run into something unexpected at White
103
00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:39.840
Oak. Still, he determined to
try or fry. Let's see what it
104
00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:48.159
is, shall we. I got
to White Oaks in an electric storm,
105
00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:56.440
where the skies giving me a twenty
one gun swore the house was up on
106
00:10:56.480 --> 00:11:01.720
an elevation. Everything about it seemed
to say keep eye out. Not a
107
00:11:01.960 --> 00:11:11.039
soul in sight? Where was the
blind? Uncle? Anybody home? I
108
00:11:11.159 --> 00:11:16.559
been hear the ecko hanging in the
air. Then I heard it tapping,
109
00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:24.360
coming at me out of the shallows. His hand reached for me. I
110
00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:33.159
could feel my flesh. Craym oh, huckle, waller h give me your
111
00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:39.039
hand if you're sure. Huh.
It's been so long since I felt the
112
00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:46.000
warmth of a reed hand. Your
hand. This perspiety, but it's close
113
00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:52.600
in here. I'm I've been in
a rush since Frisco stepping wrong. Your
114
00:11:52.879 --> 00:12:00.799
voice, it's uh, it's changed
for the better. It's uh deeper,
115
00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:07.039
but playing on her, I don't
know who was climbing. It's been a
116
00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:09.360
long time, Uncle, Yes,
yes, it's it's been a long time.
117
00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:18.960
Margaret, your fiance will be here
tomorrow to greet you. Margaret sh
118
00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:26.080
she's coming tomorrow. Yes. Uh, how is Margaret. She's grown into
119
00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:31.320
a fine woman. She'll make you
a good wife, Tom. When did
120
00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:37.240
the wedding bells ring out? The
day you take your inheritance as your father
121
00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:41.000
wished it. You and Margaret were
playmates his children, and your father wanted
122
00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:48.440
someone close to have his money after
you. Uh. This letter from Margaret
123
00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:52.919
came the other day. You'd like
to read it? Sure, yeah,
124
00:12:52.919 --> 00:13:05.639
I'll read it in bed. A
good night, nephew. Oo a bride
125
00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:09.960
went with a five hundred thousand I
have him the letter. I needed a
126
00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:16.919
line on her. I read the
opening paragraph again and again till it was
127
00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:22.519
whispering in my brain. I wonder
how it will be meeting Tom again.
128
00:13:22.679 --> 00:13:28.480
Uncle Walter, we were practically infants
for the last time together. The questions
129
00:13:28.480 --> 00:13:33.519
that keep crowding my mind? What
does he look like? What does he
130
00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:39.960
think about? Will he like me
enough? And will you like me too?
131
00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:50.279
Dear uncle Walter, I had all
a line on her I needed.
132
00:13:50.120 --> 00:14:01.559
Margaret didn't know Tom read from Adam. The next morning I drove into the
133
00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:05.879
one Horseberg they called town. I
wanted to buy a paper in some odds
134
00:14:05.879 --> 00:14:09.759
and ends. I left the general
store and a fat little guy and a
135
00:14:09.799 --> 00:14:15.639
seaman's outfit who had been hanging around
inside and followed me out. They started
136
00:14:15.679 --> 00:14:20.679
the car and he drifted over going
to white Oak's fan Hey, sure,
137
00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:26.360
how'd you get the car? It's
the job read rather than Frisco yesterday.
138
00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:31.799
Can I ride along with you?
Yeah? You're going to White Oak?
139
00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:50.039
Uh huh, I'm Tom Reid's guest. Okay, sure, happy you a
140
00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:54.759
friend of town, will kind of. I was the presser on the ship.
141
00:14:54.799 --> 00:14:58.200
He came over on We hit it
off and I got invited to his
142
00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:03.840
Weddy. What'd you do with Tom
Reid? Mister? I don't get you.
143
00:15:05.440 --> 00:15:09.639
I get you. You're playing at
being read. You're wearing his clothes,
144
00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:13.480
you're driving his car. When you
pay for some junk at the store,
145
00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:18.919
you flashed a wallet I remember seeing
on red. But uh, it
146
00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:26.320
needn't a sweat. Maybe we could
do business for how much? Half?
147
00:15:26.919 --> 00:15:33.720
If you're just masquerading, or if
you killed him? I uh didn't kill
148
00:15:33.759 --> 00:15:41.080
him a heart attack, did it? I just ditched the body, is
149
00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:46.799
it? Half? I'll let you
know what what are you stopping for?
150
00:15:48.440 --> 00:15:54.600
Uh? Get hold of myself for
a minute. Find my smokes here this
151
00:15:54.799 --> 00:16:02.360
compartment. I thought you said,
smokes, bitch, smokes with all six
152
00:16:02.440 --> 00:16:08.559
bullets. Get out of the car, start for the woods. Is that
153
00:16:08.679 --> 00:16:12.279
how you want? That's the way. It's gotta be all or nothing,
154
00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:22.919
No deals with a blackmailer. He
sat down on a slow, wriggling motion,
155
00:16:23.679 --> 00:16:30.600
then fell over on his side into
the weeds. I started a drag
156
00:16:30.679 --> 00:16:33.120
him through the weeds and for a
place to hide him until I could get
157
00:16:33.159 --> 00:16:38.360
some tools and bury him later.
And suddenly there's another horn back in the
158
00:16:38.440 --> 00:16:44.080
road, making like crazy some motors
unable to get past my parked car on
159
00:16:44.120 --> 00:16:48.919
a narrow road. I left trace
as he was and ran to the car,
160
00:16:48.679 --> 00:16:53.679
which a girl a snappy convertible move
over. I can't get by.
161
00:16:55.000 --> 00:17:02.000
Sure are you hunting? Hunting?
Oh? Yes, sir at shooting well?
162
00:17:02.279 --> 00:17:07.440
Uh? I took hot shots of
some rabbits any luck. Nah Uh,
163
00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:11.960
I'm a bad shot, too bad? Am I on the road to
164
00:17:11.079 --> 00:17:18.640
White Oaks? Sure you wouldn't be
Margaret, Yes, I'm Margaret Oho,
165
00:17:21.160 --> 00:17:30.599
I'm Tom raid your Tom reed disappointed? Don't mind I staring? Huh?
166
00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:36.319
Aren't you going to show me the
way? Tom? Why you keep starings?
167
00:17:36.319 --> 00:17:41.880
Get my curiosity up? I'm sorry? Like she couldn't control her eyes
168
00:17:44.079 --> 00:17:48.920
put, I followed the direction of
a stair sent me had hit me.
169
00:17:51.200 --> 00:17:55.240
Murder was written all over me.
There was blood all over my clothes and
170
00:17:55.440 --> 00:17:59.680
my shirt, right down on my
shoes. It was as if Tracy's corpse
171
00:17:59.720 --> 00:18:03.160
was staying him beside me, telling
it to the world. Who knows?
172
00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:08.000
Woods You killed somebody in there.
That's what those shots were. You killed
173
00:18:08.119 --> 00:18:11.799
Uncle Walter, And now you're talking
crazy. A hallboy stuck me up.
174
00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:17.559
I grabbed his gun and finished it. You don't believe me? Huh No?
175
00:18:18.480 --> 00:18:22.279
And you're not Tom Reid. You
got a picture of him grown up?
176
00:18:22.319 --> 00:18:27.079
Eh? Yes, nice and frank
and open. Huh. Being that
177
00:18:27.240 --> 00:18:33.480
honest is gonna cost you something.
Well, don't you scream or something?
178
00:18:33.519 --> 00:18:37.799
I'd rather do this exactly where you
are it's opened the gun and the maroon
179
00:18:37.880 --> 00:18:42.079
convert him? Do you know how
to shoot it? Try me and see,
180
00:18:42.359 --> 00:18:48.000
kid, I got to try.
Whether I like it or not,
181
00:18:49.640 --> 00:19:06.519
I gotta knows. I shoot him
for a girl. My try now he
182
00:19:06.559 --> 00:19:11.119
was shooting first minute easier for me
in a way which like self defense.
183
00:19:12.359 --> 00:19:19.680
Uh still kidding myself, funny.
It was all goodbye. I met a
184
00:19:19.720 --> 00:19:26.519
girl and killed him. All in
less than five minutes. Five hundred thousand
185
00:19:26.720 --> 00:19:33.519
was coming a lot harder than I
figured, alright, it was running a
186
00:19:33.519 --> 00:19:37.079
lot of time late. An hour
was the grabber was in the safe one
187
00:19:37.079 --> 00:19:40.839
way or another, and lamb is
far from the two stiffs and the blind
188
00:19:40.920 --> 00:19:45.160
uncles. I could get. I
got to the safe and began to work
189
00:19:45.160 --> 00:19:55.079
at the dials. Her uncle Walter
tapping his way to it. Mm palm,
190
00:19:56.680 --> 00:20:02.079
yes, yes, uncle Walder,
Oh my glitt No, not not
191
00:20:02.279 --> 00:20:07.720
yet. She'll be wrong and give
me your hand if you but where is
192
00:20:07.759 --> 00:20:12.839
it? Yeah? Well what do
you do read? Palms? Are your
193
00:20:12.880 --> 00:20:19.440
fingers? Yes, nephew. The
reflection of dirt on the palm is if
194
00:20:19.480 --> 00:20:25.119
you've had your hands on the ground, it's not bad. You ought to
195
00:20:25.160 --> 00:20:30.799
be a detective, do you know
the smell of blood let on my hand.
196
00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:36.759
What's wrong card or a skipt Now
listen carefully. I got a gun
197
00:20:36.759 --> 00:20:40.720
in my hand pointing right at you. You had to tap your way to
198
00:20:40.799 --> 00:20:44.240
that floor safe and open it or
no stalling or no questions. But I
199
00:20:44.279 --> 00:20:48.200
said no questions. But I don't
know the combination from memory. I said,
200
00:20:48.200 --> 00:20:52.440
no stalling. If you listen,
the combination is on the memorandum pad
201
00:20:52.519 --> 00:20:57.440
in the library desk. I get
it. He tapped its way along the
202
00:20:57.480 --> 00:21:03.200
floor to the desk, stoop over
a drawer and stayed there in a cross
203
00:21:03.279 --> 00:21:07.799
like a guy in a trench who
was a gun pointing in front of him.
204
00:21:07.839 --> 00:21:10.799
Are you crazy, old coat?
What good's a gun gonna do?
205
00:21:10.880 --> 00:21:21.319
You're blind, You won't get a
scent impostor. He shot me perfect marks
206
00:21:22.720 --> 00:21:27.400
like you could see right along with
anybody. He aimed in the direction of
207
00:21:27.480 --> 00:21:33.880
my voice. I figured. I
moved to a side quickly and emptied my
208
00:21:33.960 --> 00:21:52.920
gun. Huh, that's all of
a show. You fixed a glistening charge
209
00:21:53.000 --> 00:21:56.599
in the can and blew the safe
wall. It was a trick I picked
210
00:21:56.640 --> 00:22:03.799
up in the storm. White Oaks. H nerve for you, still going
211
00:22:03.880 --> 00:22:10.480
for the money with all those bullets
in it. Like you said, I
212
00:22:10.480 --> 00:22:15.200
I don't kill easy. Well,
you're tough, but the joke's on you
213
00:22:15.279 --> 00:22:21.000
all around shuts on me dying empty
hand him. Oh it's on you even
214
00:22:21.000 --> 00:22:26.400
more than that. Son. The
old man wasn't blind, and he wasn't
215
00:22:26.519 --> 00:22:33.039
Uncle Walter. You killed no for
a fact like you. He was just
216
00:22:33.079 --> 00:22:38.640
playing along. He'd been the butler
before he killed Uncle Walter. You see,
217
00:22:38.799 --> 00:22:44.559
he never thought Tom Reids bad hard
to allow him to take that trip
218
00:22:44.599 --> 00:22:52.720
from Honolulu. Well, what's funny, son, The joker's on me?
219
00:22:53.000 --> 00:23:10.920
Or funny with a young man plucked
his rise to fortune and then finds he
220
00:23:10.960 --> 00:23:18.559
can't even get up off his back
one barn blessing. Though he's had all
221
00:23:18.640 --> 00:23:26.960
the time now in the next world
to cut off that five hundred thousands infractions,
222
00:23:29.680 --> 00:23:42.559
May he rust in peace? Friends, It's time once again to close
223
00:23:42.720 --> 00:23:48.319
that creaking door until next week at
the same time when we'll be back with
224
00:23:48.359 --> 00:23:52.599
a little hunk of marra. You'll
be sure to listen, don't you.
225
00:23:53.920 --> 00:24:34.680
Until next week? Then the Nines
as a screen inner sanctum has come to
226
00:24:34.720 --> 00:24:40.279
you through the worldwide facilities of the
United States Armed Forces, Radio and television
227
00:24:40.319 --> 00:26:33.200
service, a little happy Tunes,
and a very fruitful night of scares and
228
00:26:33.440 --> 00:26:37.440
fun, few giggles. I think
I heard you make a few sounds yourself.
229
00:26:38.319 --> 00:26:40.799
Or what's that? Oh no,
no, no, no no,
230
00:26:41.000 --> 00:26:44.480
don't worry about that. No,
no, no, nothing to be concerned
231
00:26:44.480 --> 00:26:47.960
about here, my friends. But
I do hope you know how much I
232
00:26:48.039 --> 00:26:52.279
enjoy spending this time with you.
What what's that? Oh no, no,
233
00:26:52.279 --> 00:26:56.119
no, My name is simply unimportant. To be honest, I don't
234
00:26:56.160 --> 00:27:00.680
really believe I have a name anymore. Anyhow, If you want to talk
235
00:27:00.720 --> 00:27:03.960
to me directly and you don't have
access to your Ouiji board, you're welcome
236
00:27:04.000 --> 00:27:11.279
to send me an email at Weird
Mysteriespod at gmail dot com. You know
237
00:27:11.359 --> 00:27:14.400
I love hearing from you. In
fact, I may be reading some of
238
00:27:14.440 --> 00:27:18.319
your letters in the next episode,
but of course you'll have to wait until
239
00:27:18.319 --> 00:27:22.920
tomorrow for that. So now I
say get some rest in your warm bed
240
00:27:23.519 --> 00:27:27.559
and never forget how lucky you are
to have it. Good night, my
241
00:27:27.599 --> 00:27:45.599
dear, until tomorrow Night,
