Oh my, don't be afraid. I mean, not of this show. It's not real, at least I don't think it is. My dear, just relax and listen. These ghosts, ghouls, monsters, murderers and more aren't really here to get you, but your ears may lie to you...

1
00:00:09.160 --> 00:00:14.839
Well, my dear, I have to admit time short does

2
00:00:15.599 --> 00:00:20.320
fly along, doesn't it. Well, my dear, I suppose I've

3
00:00:20.359 --> 00:00:27.879
been visiting you for about a year now. I'm sure

4
00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:34.880
to enjoy our time together, especially you JD JD. Are

5
00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:39.560
you hearing me out there? Well, I hope you're comfortable.

6
00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:44.479
I know it's getting chilly now that the fall has caused,

7
00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:48.920
but don't worry. As I put another log on the fire,

8
00:00:49.399 --> 00:00:53.759
we have plenty more to listen to. So I picked

9
00:00:53.759 --> 00:00:59.600
something special, something that reminds me of home. A story

10
00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:03.880
about the hengmerman who won't wait wait because he never

11
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:20.959
does enjoy.

12
00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:39.000
M U spens this is the Man in Black. You're

13
00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:45.120
again to introduce Columbia's programs suspense. I'll start tonight. Is

14
00:01:45.159 --> 00:01:49.159
mister Sydney green Street, one of Hollywood's most sensational newcomers

15
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:52.079
in a number of years, the fainted fat Man who

16
00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:57.000
lent his suspenseful talents to the Maltese falcon across the Pacific.

17
00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:00.640
Mister green Street is with us to create on the

18
00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:06.640
John Dixon Carr's celebrated detective doctor Gideon Fell. The story

19
00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:12.120
called The Hangman Won't Wait is to Night's tale of suspense.

20
00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:15.199
If you have been with us on these Tuesday nights,

21
00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:18.319
you will know that suspense has compounded of mystery and

22
00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:24.120
suspicion and dangerous adventure. In this series, our tales calculated

23
00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:27.800
to intrigue you, stir your nerves, to offer you a

24
00:02:27.879 --> 00:02:31.919
precarious situation, and then withhold the solution until the last

25
00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:35.919
possible moment. And so it is with the Hangman Won't

26
00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:39.000
Wait and mister green Street's performance, We again hope to

27
00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:49.240
keep you in suspense. He comes triding towards us, now

28
00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:55.159
beaming like old King Cole. You can probably hear your chuckle.

29
00:02:55.840 --> 00:02:58.400
Iddy wheezes. A little that's due to weigh more than

30
00:02:58.479 --> 00:02:59.479
three hundred.

31
00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:02.039
Pounds is a gross line.

32
00:03:02.439 --> 00:03:05.080
You notice the three chins, and the bandit's mustache and

33
00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:08.159
the eyeglasses on the black ribbon. He removes his hat

34
00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:12.520
with old school courtesy. Don't try to bow doctor. He

35
00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:15.439
is Gideon Fell, doctor of philosophy and expert in crime.

36
00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:18.280
If he tells us something about the Barton case.

37
00:03:18.439 --> 00:03:21.360
I have only one remark to make about the Barton case.

38
00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:22.560
Everybody was wrong.

39
00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:24.759
I'm afraid we don't quite follow that.

40
00:03:24.879 --> 00:03:29.280
Judge was wrong, the jury were wrong. The prosecution was wrong, the.

41
00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:32.120
Defense, But doctor fell. You can't have a murder case

42
00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:33.560
in which everybody is wrong.

43
00:03:33.919 --> 00:03:36.719
My case is, sir, you can have practically anything.

44
00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:38.280
Yes, that's true enough.

45
00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:41.360
But I want you to imagine yourself in the position

46
00:03:41.479 --> 00:03:45.800
of that girl Heren Barton. Well, imagine yourself waking up

47
00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:49.240
suddenly in the middle of the night. We're terrified. You

48
00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:53.199
don't know why. Room is cold and nearly dark. All

49
00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:55.439
of a sudden you realize it's a room you've never

50
00:03:55.560 --> 00:04:00.319
seen before. There's a queer smell like old stone, and distant.

51
00:04:01.560 --> 00:04:01.919
Sound.

52
00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:24.160
Except all right, all right, what is it? What was

53
00:04:24.199 --> 00:04:26.279
that having back in your bed? Dearie?

54
00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:29.879
It's all right, yes, take it easiness.

55
00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:35.279
I was dreaming you were having a nightmare, deary. But

56
00:04:35.399 --> 00:04:39.639
it's all right now. Nothing's going to urt you not Yeah.

57
00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:42.439
Quiet, canna, all right, all right?

58
00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:45.959
Would you like us to turn on all the lights?

59
00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:47.560
Please? Would you do that?

60
00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:53.079
Let's see I don't understand this here aman, how did

61
00:04:53.079 --> 00:04:53.600
I get here?

62
00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:55.040
Do you?

63
00:04:55.560 --> 00:04:55.800
Now?

64
00:04:56.040 --> 00:04:59.519
Don't start that all over again, Please start all over

65
00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:02.600
again saying you've lost your memory and don't even know

66
00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:03.560
what your name is?

67
00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:07.600
Are you insane? Of course I know what my name is.

68
00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:12.399
I'm Helen Barton, Ah. But it's all I do know

69
00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:15.240
where am I?

70
00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:15.879
I do know this?

71
00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:18.839
It's a cold well, that's not unusually, you know, for

72
00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:20.480
England in the middle of December.

73
00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:23.360
Did you say December?

74
00:05:23.439 --> 00:05:25.959
That's right, dearie, eighteenth of December.

75
00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:29.399
You're fooling me. You're playing a trick on me. My

76
00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:31.279
head feels queer and I want to start crying, but

77
00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:33.800
I won't. It's not December. It's the end of August.

78
00:05:34.120 --> 00:05:35.240
I was going up to see Phyllip.

79
00:05:35.800 --> 00:05:36.399
What's it?

80
00:05:37.240 --> 00:05:38.399
I was going up to see Philip.

81
00:05:38.519 --> 00:05:39.439
Philip.

82
00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:43.040
No, man, I'm going to marry. Be quiet, Hannah, don't

83
00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:44.240
turn on these lights yet.

84
00:05:44.439 --> 00:05:45.319
She's having her son.

85
00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:46.000
She's dinner.

86
00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:48.920
This child's shaking all over and so help me. She

87
00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:50.079
don't know where she is.

88
00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:54.120
Listen, Dearie, I'm going to sit down on the bed

89
00:05:54.160 --> 00:06:00.560
beside you. Now, take my hands, Oldham.

90
00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:01.759
Tight what's wrong?

91
00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:04.199
Why are you looking at me like that?

92
00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:13.519
This is Maider's prison, Miss Steady, deary, I'm still dreaming.

93
00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:19.240
I must be, you can't. I mean, I'm in prison.

94
00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:23.319
Now, Look, deary, I'm afraid it's worse than that, worse

95
00:06:23.399 --> 00:06:26.639
than that look over there, you see where there's a

96
00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:29.680
little bit of fire in the grate, and paper on

97
00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:30.439
the wall.

98
00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:32.839
And pictures and the carpet on the floor.

99
00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:37.279
Why don't you come out straight and tell her they're

100
00:06:37.360 --> 00:06:41.279
going to hang you in the morning. Miss, This is

101
00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:43.560
the condemned cell.

102
00:06:56.519 --> 00:07:18.439
In sudden sharp the prison clerks motime shivering air. But

103
00:07:18.600 --> 00:07:20.800
I won't quote that any further. I have too vivid

104
00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:23.120
a memory of sitting up that night with Colonel Andrews,

105
00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:25.920
the governor of the prison. Over here, you'd call him

106
00:07:25.920 --> 00:07:29.399
the warden. There's a little office with a lamp shade

107
00:07:29.480 --> 00:07:32.279
tilted so that I could see his face, And he said,

108
00:07:32.399 --> 00:07:36.199
I hate executions, lo them. Can't even sleep the night

109
00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:39.279
before if you hadn't offered to come here and save

110
00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:39.959
my life.

111
00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:43.279
This is a strange pace to talk of saving life. Oh,

112
00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:45.639
it's no good being sentimental about the thing.

113
00:07:46.040 --> 00:07:46.800
That's the law.

114
00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:48.360
I didn't make it.

115
00:07:48.399 --> 00:07:51.199
But I gather you are not exactly happy about this, king,

116
00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:55.399
I'm not. That's a fight, mind you. There's no doubt

117
00:07:55.439 --> 00:07:58.360
whatever about the girl's guilt. I'm gratified to hear it.

118
00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:01.759
But if only she can fiss most of them, do

119
00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:04.319
you know they confess to you, to me, or to

120
00:08:04.360 --> 00:08:08.040
the hangman, not often to the chaplain because they think

121
00:08:08.079 --> 00:08:11.600
he'll settle them with the hereafter. But when Kirkwood goes

122
00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:13.639
in with the step to bind their arm, he says

123
00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:17.800
to him, I don't like to think I'm doing something

124
00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:19.920
that would be on my conscience.

125
00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:22.079
So if you're killed, to tell me.

126
00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:26.920
Ha ha, quite a sensitive filler your head.

127
00:08:27.120 --> 00:08:30.199
And look here, I'm serious, so am I.

128
00:08:30.360 --> 00:08:32.919
Sometimes I wish I had any job in the world

129
00:08:32.919 --> 00:08:33.559
but mine.

130
00:08:34.320 --> 00:08:35.639
If only the girl.

131
00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:40.440
Would confess, if she'd just stopped this nonsense about not remembering,

132
00:08:40.799 --> 00:08:45.399
not remembering what, not remembering how well, not remembering how

133
00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:47.879
she shot Fit of Gale, not remembering anything even her

134
00:08:47.879 --> 00:08:48.360
own name.

135
00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:52.639
Don't lemnesia covering a crime, sir? You frighten me.

136
00:08:53.399 --> 00:08:55.639
You mean to say that a woman suffering from loss

137
00:08:55.639 --> 00:08:58.600
of memory can be tried and sentenced to death. No,

138
00:08:59.480 --> 00:09:02.440
not if she has lost her memory. Well, but this

139
00:09:02.679 --> 00:09:06.039
defense was a fake, I'm quite sure of that. Naturally,

140
00:09:06.799 --> 00:09:08.759
the judge would never have allowed it to come to

141
00:09:08.879 --> 00:09:11.759
trial if he hadn't been convinced that she was sheming.

142
00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:14.679
Even then she might have got off of the life

143
00:09:14.759 --> 00:09:16.919
sentence or even with manslaughter if.

144
00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:18.519
It hadn't been for the nature of the crime.

145
00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:21.360
She didn't cut anybody up, I hope no, But it

146
00:09:21.480 --> 00:09:24.200
was almost as bad. She shot a man who had

147
00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:28.360
raised his hands and begged for mercy, and completely damn

148
00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:31.000
her in the eyes of the jury. And yet you

149
00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:35.159
have doubts. I tell you, why haven't any doubts? And

150
00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:37.919
in any case, it's none of my business. How has

151
00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:40.679
she acted since he's been here? Oh, a model prisoner,

152
00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:44.480
But I wish she'd stop this business of seeming to.

153
00:09:44.440 --> 00:09:47.320
Be in a daze. It's getting on my nerves.

154
00:09:47.799 --> 00:09:50.720
Rather think the prison itself would get on my nerves.

155
00:09:51.080 --> 00:09:53.960
I looked into your execution shed once and I don't

156
00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:54.879
want to look again.

157
00:09:55.440 --> 00:09:56.279
You get used to it.

158
00:09:56.240 --> 00:10:00.200
After a while, haven't Batten won't tell me about a

159
00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:04.679
nice girl to find you? A grandfather lived near here, Yes,

160
00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:08.480
born and bred in Meadhurst. She got mixed up with

161
00:10:08.559 --> 00:10:12.799
a phara going swine named Philip Glee, crazy about him,

162
00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:16.360
wouldn't hear a word against him, and he threw her

163
00:10:16.360 --> 00:10:17.799
over for a woman with money.

164
00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:18.679
I see.

165
00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:21.799
He had a bungalow on white Rose Hill. She went

166
00:10:21.919 --> 00:10:27.399
up there one Sunday afternoon alone. Yes, Herbert Gail, Philip's brother,

167
00:10:27.600 --> 00:10:30.200
heard them screaming at each other. He ran in to

168
00:10:30.440 --> 00:10:33.039
see what was wrong. Philip was trying to chase the

169
00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:35.960
girl out. She grabbed a thirty two revolver out of

170
00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:38.799
the table drawer and told Philip to put up his hands.

171
00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:41.519
That scared him, and he did put up his hands.

172
00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:50.159
Then she shot him dead. Afterwards, she couldn't remember, I

173
00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:53.600
didn't remember anything. No, pretend that she didn't even recognize

174
00:10:53.600 --> 00:10:54.279
her own family.

175
00:10:55.039 --> 00:10:57.399
She said, who is Philip Glee?

176
00:10:58.120 --> 00:10:58.480
Mm hm?

177
00:10:59.600 --> 00:11:03.759
And you hang her tomorrow morning, yes, without ever hearing

178
00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:06.679
her side of the case. Confounded man, there's no doubt

179
00:11:06.720 --> 00:11:10.279
about the evidence. Are you sure she killed Philip Gale

180
00:11:10.799 --> 00:11:14.480
Gail's brother, Herbert saw her do it. This hypocrisy about

181
00:11:14.519 --> 00:11:18.639
not remembering emotional shock could do just that. You know,

182
00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:21.360
she wasn't so emotionally shocked that it disturbed her aim.

183
00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:25.399
She did him king through the heart at fifteen feet

184
00:11:25.679 --> 00:11:29.200
The bullet entered in the dead straight line through coat, waistcoat,

185
00:11:29.360 --> 00:11:33.600
shirt and heart. Who could run a pencil through the hose. Now,

186
00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:36.519
don't sit there puffing out your cheeks and waving a

187
00:11:36.559 --> 00:11:37.240
cigar at me.

188
00:11:37.320 --> 00:11:38.200
I'm loving.

189
00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:45.000
Tell me Colonel Andrews, aren't you talking to convince yourself?

190
00:11:45.840 --> 00:11:46.039
No?

191
00:11:46.919 --> 00:11:50.559
Suppose that girl is stealing Drew. Suppose she has lost

192
00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:54.120
to him. Yeah right, I don't believe that. Suppose it,

193
00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:57.679
And suppose in some black eye, just before the hangman comes,

194
00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:01.960
a memory returned. Don't talk rubbish, sure long enough to

195
00:12:02.039 --> 00:12:05.399
know that mental suffering is the coolest form of suffering

196
00:12:05.480 --> 00:12:09.759
on this earth. Imagine yourself in that position, come out

197
00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:12.080
of a daze into what you thought was a safe

198
00:12:12.159 --> 00:12:13.120
and pleasant work.

199
00:12:14.320 --> 00:12:16.799
Where you are. You don't know what's happened.

200
00:12:17.600 --> 00:12:19.720
We only know that we're in the clock strit say

201
00:12:20.519 --> 00:12:27.759
they're going to take you out? And did you hear that?

202
00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:28.799
Yes?

203
00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:31.960
Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

204
00:12:32.759 --> 00:12:33.120
Yes?

205
00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:38.440
It isn't possible very much. Fear it is sometimes, you know,

206
00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:42.919
we have to use drugs. Yes, but we take them

207
00:12:42.960 --> 00:12:45.679
to the execution shed. It's only a short distance and

208
00:12:45.720 --> 00:12:47.559
we try to get it over in a matter of seconds.

209
00:12:47.559 --> 00:12:51.080
But sometimes they can't walky.

210
00:12:51.679 --> 00:12:52.200
What is it?

211
00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:56.000
But I thought I'd better get you or a doctor

212
00:12:56.080 --> 00:12:57.039
or a chaplain of both.

213
00:12:57.559 --> 00:12:58.320
What's the matter with you?

214
00:12:58.399 --> 00:12:58.600
Men?

215
00:12:59.000 --> 00:13:00.000
Not as right as a ghost?

216
00:13:00.039 --> 00:13:02.360
Can't help that, sir. I've been a warder at this

217
00:13:02.399 --> 00:13:04.840
place for a matter of fifteen years. But I never

218
00:13:04.879 --> 00:13:08.799
knew anything like this. It's the upstairs room, I suppose,

219
00:13:08.879 --> 00:13:13.679
mister Barton, Yes, sir, it'sterical, Yes, sir, she says where

220
00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:18.039
she says she remembers. Now I see she's carrying on something, offer, sir,

221
00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:20.320
But that ain't all she claims she.

222
00:13:20.360 --> 00:13:20.919
Never done it.

223
00:13:21.200 --> 00:13:23.600
That she claims she never killed mister Gayle at all.

224
00:13:24.200 --> 00:13:27.399
Well, who that's all, Harris? You may go, yes, sir.

225
00:13:27.600 --> 00:13:29.679
Any other disturbances in the building.

226
00:13:29.480 --> 00:13:33.120
Where, sir, they're a bit restless in a wing as usual, Yes, sir.

227
00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:35.960
And there's a bloke outside the prison, I mean who

228
00:13:36.039 --> 00:13:38.120
keeps hanging about in front of the main gate. You

229
00:13:38.159 --> 00:13:40.320
can see him by the street lamp. First he'll take

230
00:13:40.320 --> 00:13:42.519
a few little quick steps back and forth. Then he'll

231
00:13:42.559 --> 00:13:44.399
run and stick a face against the bars of the gate.

232
00:13:44.639 --> 00:13:47.039
Then you'll go back to pacing again, fair guy, me

233
00:13:47.120 --> 00:13:49.000
the creeps it even before this other thing.

234
00:13:49.320 --> 00:13:51.080
You don't happen to know who he is.

235
00:13:51.399 --> 00:13:54.639
It's the other mister Gael, Sir, Herbert Gale. I am,

236
00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:56.080
and there are to chase him away.

237
00:13:55.879 --> 00:13:58.759
All right, Halis, go ahead and be along with me, Yes, Sir,

238
00:14:00.039 --> 00:14:03.080
a girl claims to be innocent. You heard that, age, Yes,

239
00:14:03.159 --> 00:14:05.879
I heard it. What do you mean to do? I'll

240
00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:09.080
see the girl, of course, but it won't affect the issue,

241
00:14:09.399 --> 00:14:12.000
not even if she does happen to be innocent. Fell

242
00:14:12.080 --> 00:14:15.320
in the name of Heaven, try to understand my position.

243
00:14:15.799 --> 00:14:16.120
Leave me.

244
00:14:16.240 --> 00:14:17.279
I do understand it.

245
00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:21.519
Jury convicted this girl of murder, and appeal was dismissed.

246
00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:25.279
Our Home Secretary has refused to intervene on behalf of

247
00:14:25.279 --> 00:14:28.120
the king. You couldn't do anything even if you wanted to.

248
00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:32.240
Couldn't even appeal to the Home Secretary without new evidence exactly,

249
00:14:32.519 --> 00:14:34.440
And it's too late for new evidence, because you can't

250
00:14:34.480 --> 00:14:36.879
just accept the word of Helen bat all the same.

251
00:14:36.919 --> 00:14:43.399
I'm dreading this interview. It's against regulations, but I wish

252
00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:47.919
you'd come along with me. There isn't.

253
00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:50.759
Christy.

254
00:14:51.360 --> 00:14:54.240
I think a little stimulant. She will need this stimulated.

255
00:14:54.279 --> 00:14:57.080
Well, it's a cold night that the coreered where she's going.

256
00:15:00.080 --> 00:15:00.360
M h.

257
00:15:08.320 --> 00:15:09.600
M hmmm, h.

258
00:15:23.679 --> 00:15:24.000
M hm.

259
00:15:29.440 --> 00:15:30.320
I didn't do it.

260
00:15:30.440 --> 00:15:31.879
I tell you I didn't do it.

261
00:15:32.799 --> 00:15:34.720
Means it's all right, dearie.

262
00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:37.799
The Governor and the big stout gentlemen believe you didn't

263
00:15:37.840 --> 00:15:38.120
do it.

264
00:15:38.159 --> 00:15:40.279
Oh no they don't. You needn't try to fool me.

265
00:15:40.720 --> 00:15:42.519
Look at them over there on the corner whispering.

266
00:15:43.799 --> 00:15:46.519
I heard that, you said. So she's lying, but I'm

267
00:15:46.559 --> 00:15:47.320
not lying.

268
00:15:47.399 --> 00:15:47.759
I'm not.

269
00:15:48.279 --> 00:15:52.759
You've got to pull yourself and have a nice What

270
00:15:52.840 --> 00:15:54.200
would you like for breakfast?

271
00:16:00.120 --> 00:16:03.320
Well, my dear, I hope you enjoyed that one as

272
00:16:03.399 --> 00:16:07.519
much as I did. Ah reminds me of old times,

273
00:16:08.240 --> 00:16:11.559
it does. But my dear, don't worry. I don't worry.

274
00:16:12.279 --> 00:16:17.519
To celebrate anniversary of sword size picked out a lot

275
00:16:17.639 --> 00:16:21.720
of very special special pieces to listen to us. I

276
00:16:21.720 --> 00:16:25.639
had to dust off some mighty fine ones. But I

277
00:16:25.679 --> 00:16:30.000
know you'll enjoy them. Oh what's that? Oh no, no, no, no, no,

278
00:16:30.039 --> 00:16:32.840
not at all, not at all all. Just sit and

279
00:16:32.879 --> 00:16:33.559
be comfortable.

280
00:16:33.600 --> 00:16:34.039
Comfortable.

281
00:16:34.480 --> 00:16:39.159
This one alsolves, brings true to me. It's called mark

282
00:16:39.279 --> 00:16:43.360
my grave, and believe me, I have.

283
00:16:44.919 --> 00:16:56.840
Enjoy good evening.

284
00:16:56.919 --> 00:17:01.519
Friends, if your house to welcome you through the creaking

285
00:17:01.639 --> 00:17:04.200
door into the nankington.

286
00:17:04.559 --> 00:17:07.599
Come on in. They're getting worry wrinkles over inflation.

287
00:17:07.720 --> 00:17:11.880
Anybody m a pale face here at my elbow just

288
00:17:11.920 --> 00:17:14.640
asked me to point out that where he comes from,

289
00:17:14.839 --> 00:17:23.160
nothing inflates everything diflay. As a matter of fact, living

290
00:17:23.319 --> 00:17:26.440
down under is one way of trimming your clothing budget

291
00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:30.640
down to their essential. All you need for the longest

292
00:17:30.680 --> 00:17:44.359
while is one wooden sew. The Night's inner Sanctum Mystery

293
00:17:44.599 --> 00:17:48.319
Mark my Grave was written by John Robert and stars

294
00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:51.319
Lawson's Derby in the role of Colby, with Santra s

295
00:17:51.400 --> 00:18:00.039
Ortega as Gabby. The nights we intend to prove, But

296
00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:03.599
when a live wire meets a dead head, not a.

297
00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:05.839
Spark of sanity remains.

298
00:18:07.000 --> 00:18:11.359
We're in Christenberry, an ancient American village founded during the

299
00:18:11.359 --> 00:18:15.039
reign of Queen Anne. We're witnessing a climax in the

300
00:18:15.119 --> 00:18:19.839
dark and bloody story of the Brenda Clan, a story

301
00:18:19.880 --> 00:18:23.519
that has long terrified the timid and baffled men of

302
00:18:23.599 --> 00:18:29.359
logical mind, the story of a BRender ghost. In a close,

303
00:18:29.759 --> 00:18:33.160
airless room of the Brenda home, a man is strapped

304
00:18:33.200 --> 00:18:37.160
down on an iron bed. His face is youthful, his

305
00:18:37.400 --> 00:18:42.079
hair is white as it bleached by shock. He stares

306
00:18:42.119 --> 00:18:45.880
blindly at an older man hovering anxiously over him.

307
00:18:46.240 --> 00:18:54.279
Gabby, Yeah, it's me. I've got everything under control, untimy, Gabby,

308
00:18:55.640 --> 00:18:58.440
I can't breathe on it. I can't untie your kid,

309
00:18:58.759 --> 00:19:02.920
not the way you are. You just church yourself. I've

310
00:19:02.920 --> 00:19:07.920
sent for a doctor able to talk about it, a

311
00:19:07.960 --> 00:19:16.480
little talk about it, sure, only if you're able to ghosts.

312
00:19:17.839 --> 00:19:21.680
Ghosts were a big joke to us. The assignment was

313
00:19:21.720 --> 00:19:24.519
going to be a gag picture stunt to get the

314
00:19:24.559 --> 00:19:32.359
newspaper comic relief that day. He'll call me, They called me. Yeah, Hei,

315
00:19:32.400 --> 00:19:37.039
the wire coming in eight state search for missing hitchhiker couple.

316
00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:41.200
What about it? Just two more missing Americans in a millium.

317
00:19:41.480 --> 00:19:45.359
Namala and Alfred Parker have been missing for fourteen days. Well,

318
00:19:45.400 --> 00:19:49.400
I've seen entering the village of Christenberry. It was seen entering,

319
00:19:49.440 --> 00:19:54.640
but nobody saw to leave. Christenberry is the village famous

320
00:19:54.680 --> 00:19:57.400
for the Brend the ghost. You want to buy a

321
00:19:57.440 --> 00:20:00.559
bed sheet? Boss? No, right, you want to buy a

322
00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:03.680
circulation booster. You're not assigning me to interview the Brenda

323
00:20:03.720 --> 00:20:07.559
ghost and all the other branders with pictures. Dot yourself

324
00:20:07.599 --> 00:20:10.319
over to Christenberry with a flash gun and photograph everything

325
00:20:10.359 --> 00:20:20.079
that moves. What if the ghost is camera shy? Christenberry

326
00:20:20.200 --> 00:20:23.240
was a village. A man starts talking to himself and

327
00:20:23.279 --> 00:20:26.480
a handful of bearded old timers is stared at newcomers,

328
00:20:26.759 --> 00:20:30.400
then scurried away like frightened jack rabbit. The population on

329
00:20:30.440 --> 00:20:33.440
the ground was less than one hundred. The population underground

330
00:20:33.640 --> 00:20:38.559
was an easy twenty thousand. Now, before tackling the Brenders,

331
00:20:38.559 --> 00:20:39.759
I did some reconnoitering.

332
00:20:40.359 --> 00:20:42.920
If you're a man of caution, mister Kolby, you will

333
00:20:42.960 --> 00:20:44.240
not go poking your nose.

334
00:20:44.640 --> 00:20:46.480
How did Luther Brenda die?

335
00:20:47.160 --> 00:20:51.400
He was found keeled over in his study one black night, murdered.

336
00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:53.680
Somebody took an ax to him.

337
00:20:53.960 --> 00:20:59.200
Just somebody. The hatchet man was never caught. No, did

338
00:20:59.200 --> 00:21:02.240
the police ever figure out a motive for the murder robbery?

339
00:21:02.319 --> 00:21:05.880
They said that it would hate that killed old luthor

340
00:21:05.920 --> 00:21:08.319
if you ask me well. Driving into town, I saw

341
00:21:08.440 --> 00:21:12.039
posters tacked on the telephone poles advertising a public option

342
00:21:12.160 --> 00:21:15.200
of the Brenda House and grounds tomorrow at ten am.

343
00:21:15.799 --> 00:21:19.960
What's you mean county Supervisor's orders. Ain't a penny in

344
00:21:20.079 --> 00:21:25.400
text has been paid since Luci Brenda died. Good griddance

345
00:21:25.599 --> 00:21:30.440
to Luther's brood. I say, you're set to go into

346
00:21:30.440 --> 00:21:33.160
the Devil's roost. You'll be wanting a powerful charm on

347
00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:36.160
your person. Wear this around your neck and you'll come

348
00:21:36.200 --> 00:21:39.920
to no harm. The old lady was peddling a bag

349
00:21:39.960 --> 00:21:42.960
containing a few strands of human hair, a strip of

350
00:21:43.039 --> 00:21:47.440
dried snake skin, and a cube of live loadstone. A

351
00:21:47.599 --> 00:21:51.160
luct I'm the ward off demon. Are you really should

352
00:21:51.240 --> 00:21:53.640
yourself on the Brenda ghost story? Huh?

353
00:21:53.960 --> 00:21:58.079
I've seen old Luci Brenda, seeing him with my own

354
00:21:58.119 --> 00:22:06.119
eyes were right where you're standing. Look, you called the

355
00:22:06.160 --> 00:22:07.680
devil and he's come.

356
00:22:07.839 --> 00:22:11.599
What do you mean come? Look to the window, I

357
00:22:11.759 --> 00:22:15.759
followed her, pointing finger. There staring at us through her

358
00:22:15.839 --> 00:22:20.279
window was a face. It's old Luca Brenda. This glowed

359
00:22:20.400 --> 00:22:25.480
like a mask coated with phosphorus. In a moment, the

360
00:22:25.599 --> 00:22:38.440
face was gone, vanished. I left and drove on to

361
00:22:38.519 --> 00:22:40.920
the brand of place, trying to throw off the spell.

362
00:22:44.799 --> 00:22:47.759
It was a perfect setting for a ghost, inky black

363
00:22:47.799 --> 00:22:49.839
you couldn't see your hand in front of it, a

364
00:22:49.920 --> 00:22:52.240
dimly lit gabled house high up on a hill, and

365
00:22:52.720 --> 00:22:56.400
barking dog somewhere. I was picking my way slowly with

366
00:22:56.480 --> 00:23:00.599
my camera swung over my shoulder, working my flashlight when

367
00:23:00.599 --> 00:23:02.880
I got the first proof that I really needed a

368
00:23:03.119 --> 00:23:08.279
charm bag around my rifle shot somebody had shot the

369
00:23:08.279 --> 00:23:09.440
flash light out of my hand.

370
00:23:10.759 --> 00:23:11.680
Are you shot?

371
00:23:12.000 --> 00:23:16.000
Nah, you're just ruined a new flashlight. Who are you,

372
00:23:16.119 --> 00:23:22.400
David Bender? You Colby, a reporter. You always welcome guests

373
00:23:22.400 --> 00:23:24.200
with a blast of rifle fire.

374
00:23:25.519 --> 00:23:30.759
I mistook you for Old Luther. Old Luther's on the prowl.

375
00:23:30.519 --> 00:23:34.400
Tonight, shooting as your father's ghost. Uh uh, but what

376
00:23:34.519 --> 00:23:36.359
makes you think the old fellows going to prowl tonight?

377
00:23:38.160 --> 00:23:39.480
He ain't in this cask?

378
00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:45.839
You checked to see I did you dug him up

379
00:23:45.920 --> 00:23:48.400
and pried open his coffin and checked?

380
00:23:49.119 --> 00:23:53.400
No, weren't no need to do that. We ain't never

381
00:23:53.559 --> 00:23:57.039
buried Old Luther. We put him in the family, equipped

382
00:23:57.160 --> 00:23:58.359
like he wanted to be put.

383
00:23:58.920 --> 00:24:03.000
And you say he's not there now? Yep, Well, any

384
00:24:03.039 --> 00:24:04.440
objections to showing me?

385
00:24:05.279 --> 00:24:07.440
Nope? Come along.

386
00:24:10.279 --> 00:24:13.359
I followed David Brenda in a small fieldstone house and

387
00:24:13.480 --> 00:24:16.160
on the edge in a weat choked meadow less than

388
00:24:16.240 --> 00:24:19.599
fifty feet in the big gable house sort of primitively

389
00:24:19.720 --> 00:24:22.839
built mausoleum in the center of it was a heavy

390
00:24:22.880 --> 00:24:26.960
old coffin tool with steel fitting raising the lid with

391
00:24:27.039 --> 00:24:30.759
a job for hercules. I watched David Brenda's face purple

392
00:24:30.839 --> 00:24:31.400
in the effort.

393
00:24:33.839 --> 00:24:40.400
I'm showing you. Yeah, Now look for yourself.

394
00:24:41.519 --> 00:24:41.920
I looked.

395
00:24:43.880 --> 00:24:47.359
The tasket was empty, I said, Oh, Luther was on

396
00:24:47.559 --> 00:24:48.079
the prowl.

397
00:24:49.000 --> 00:24:51.720
A man who's been dead ten years just got up

398
00:24:51.839 --> 00:24:54.640
to take a walk, got up to keep his promise.

399
00:24:55.920 --> 00:25:00.920
What promise to take the Brenda's back to his keeping? First, Water,

400
00:25:01.119 --> 00:25:05.759
then Polly, then me, He said, Walter's first, because he's

401
00:25:05.799 --> 00:25:10.119
the oldest. And you laugh because you're the youngest. Yep,

402
00:25:11.319 --> 00:25:18.839
and you believe it. Listen, do that organ music, some

403
00:25:19.000 --> 00:25:21.839
cheerful Joe's playing an organ. Overt your house to piece

404
00:25:21.920 --> 00:25:27.119
old Luther always played. Only Luther can play the organ.

405
00:25:27.599 --> 00:25:34.160
I still say, show me come on. I started for

406
00:25:34.240 --> 00:25:37.240
the main house to the accompliment of a ghostly funeral march.

407
00:25:37.319 --> 00:25:39.599
It seemed to hang in the night air like a wait.

408
00:25:40.759 --> 00:25:45.559
Halfway across the lawn, the organ stopped. A dead man

409
00:25:45.799 --> 00:25:49.440
was ready to take his eldest son back to his keeping.

410
00:25:52.880 --> 00:25:57.039
It's Walter upstairs in the little room. Walter was on

411
00:25:57.160 --> 00:26:00.200
the floor beside the organ, sitting rigidly with his hands

412
00:26:00.279 --> 00:26:03.799
clasped on his knees by the child at his father's feet.

413
00:26:04.519 --> 00:26:07.240
First Walter because he was the oldest.

414
00:26:07.359 --> 00:26:08.039
And then.

415
00:26:09.559 --> 00:26:18.319
I'm next, You're Polly Brenda. I'm Polly Brenda. Didn't part

416
00:26:18.400 --> 00:26:20.240
of play beautifully Daisy?

417
00:26:22.039 --> 00:26:24.400
Polly fit her name to a tee, a face like

418
00:26:24.480 --> 00:26:29.119
a parrot standing behind Polly writing furiously into a palm

419
00:26:29.200 --> 00:26:32.720
size notebook was another Quilagan day. The kind of guy

420
00:26:32.759 --> 00:26:35.160
you imagine running through the field with a butterfly in

421
00:26:35.200 --> 00:26:37.319
the net. Oh, who's the note taker? David?

422
00:26:37.759 --> 00:26:41.440
Mister Lortrick. He's a Lord.

423
00:26:42.240 --> 00:26:47.680
Elctric and your name is what? Are we rival reporters?

424
00:26:48.039 --> 00:26:48.480
Indeed?

425
00:26:48.680 --> 00:26:48.720
Not?

426
00:26:49.279 --> 00:26:51.039
Well, then what's all that note taking about?

427
00:26:51.079 --> 00:26:51.119
It?

428
00:26:51.400 --> 00:26:55.519
My only spot investigation in the supernatural phenomena? The Brendas

429
00:26:55.559 --> 00:26:58.440
were kind enough to extend an invitation for.

430
00:26:58.640 --> 00:27:02.839
Five hundred dollars is key, and I still dress for me.

431
00:27:03.440 --> 00:27:06.279
I want to research society. Do you represent, Sir Aliban?

432
00:27:06.440 --> 00:27:10.599
My own, My independent research will become a book, really

433
00:27:10.759 --> 00:27:11.759
revolutionary book.

434
00:27:11.759 --> 00:27:14.119
I would say, you've seen the Brenda ghost.

435
00:27:14.359 --> 00:27:14.599
I have.

436
00:27:15.519 --> 00:27:19.880
My findings here have been truly remarkable. You gotta show me.

437
00:27:20.160 --> 00:27:24.000
Bodies disappear, sure, but not under their own steam. Old

438
00:27:24.079 --> 00:27:27.920
Luther was missing from his casket, sure, but where is he?

439
00:27:31.519 --> 00:27:34.680
Do you know where he is, Bully, why back in

440
00:27:34.839 --> 00:27:35.559
the coffin.

441
00:27:36.359 --> 00:27:40.839
He always goes back to rest, Master play the organ.

442
00:27:44.359 --> 00:27:47.119
We hiked back to the mausoleum, all of us. I

443
00:27:47.240 --> 00:27:50.359
watched David Brenda make like Hercules again, raising the heavy

444
00:27:50.400 --> 00:27:51.240
old wed.

445
00:27:52.839 --> 00:27:53.799
I'm showing.

446
00:28:00.119 --> 00:28:06.359
Looked Old Luther Brenda was back in his casket, and

447
00:28:06.480 --> 00:28:09.640
it was the same face I had seen pressed against

448
00:28:09.759 --> 00:28:27.039
the window of old Lady Hawkins's house. The mind's a

449
00:28:27.519 --> 00:28:32.160
funny thing, Gabby. You're a hardheaded cynic who says show me,

450
00:28:32.359 --> 00:28:37.119
but suddenly you can't trust your eyes. Suddenly your minds

451
00:28:37.200 --> 00:28:41.599
developed a small crack, and your sanity begins to push

452
00:28:41.680 --> 00:28:45.480
out like Sawda's coming out of a rag doll. A

453
00:28:45.640 --> 00:28:48.440
dead man who gets up out of his casket, plays

454
00:28:48.480 --> 00:28:52.720
an organ, solo, commits a murder, then gets back into

455
00:28:52.759 --> 00:28:55.079
the caskets. You don't dare believe it, because if you do,

456
00:28:56.519 --> 00:29:01.640
you'll never stop screaming. I didn't figured out too much.

457
00:29:03.960 --> 00:29:06.720
I photographed everything in sight. Falt a while with the

458
00:29:06.799 --> 00:29:10.799
overstepped researcher, Sir Oliver. Then hold up in the ground

459
00:29:10.839 --> 00:29:13.119
floor bedroom, David Brenda signed me too.

460
00:29:14.119 --> 00:29:16.680
It won't be comfortable, but it's a bed.

461
00:29:18.640 --> 00:29:21.480
I hadn't even closed one eye when the dogs outside

462
00:29:21.559 --> 00:29:24.079
set up a hollow that raised goose pimples all over me.

463
00:29:25.240 --> 00:29:27.480
It was the kind of hollow you hear from bloodhounds.

464
00:29:27.519 --> 00:29:31.720
When they reached the end of the chase, I went

465
00:29:31.799 --> 00:29:40.519
to the window. Something something was pulling me, something wicked.

466
00:29:41.039 --> 00:29:45.519
How many shirts there were? The dogs on the lawn

467
00:29:46.200 --> 00:29:50.480
under the moon roop masters for them and snapping something

468
00:29:50.599 --> 00:29:54.759
in their jaws, then tossing it into the air. I

469
00:29:54.880 --> 00:29:58.960
concentrate on whatever The gadgets were hearing through the window

470
00:29:59.000 --> 00:30:01.440
glass into my eyes. It almost dropped out of the sockets.

471
00:30:03.680 --> 00:30:07.839
After a while, I made the gadgets out. They were

472
00:30:07.960 --> 00:30:14.119
articles of palmy, a shoe, a man's hat, a lady's handbag.

473
00:30:16.279 --> 00:30:18.279
I found the place the dogs had come from. It

474
00:30:18.440 --> 00:30:21.319
wasn't hot. I just followed the dog tracks to a

475
00:30:21.440 --> 00:30:27.640
ravine behind the medway. I found them side by side,

476
00:30:29.000 --> 00:30:35.400
dead than just dead. Pamela and Alfred Barger, you're missing

477
00:30:35.559 --> 00:30:42.880
hitchhiker couple, Oh Luta Kilvin. Great having a ghost around

478
00:30:42.920 --> 00:30:47.160
it walks and David. You can make him the explanation

479
00:30:47.319 --> 00:30:54.440
for everything, Oh Luther Kilvin, Listen, the organ's going again.

480
00:30:55.240 --> 00:31:00.240
It's so Luther's favorite piece he's fixing to kill. Pouty

481
00:31:01.319 --> 00:31:04.039
Walter was the first, and now it's Polly's turn.

482
00:31:04.319 --> 00:31:08.200
Busy night for a dead man. The idea is that

483
00:31:08.400 --> 00:31:12.640
Luther Brenda's up there at the organ. Huh, yep, up

484
00:31:12.680 --> 00:31:16.799
there playing it prior to Monday, out of his casketting

485
00:31:16.920 --> 00:31:18.000
up there in the watch time.

486
00:31:18.400 --> 00:31:18.720
Yep.

487
00:31:20.359 --> 00:31:22.240
I'm going back for a double take at that cake.

488
00:31:27.680 --> 00:31:29.519
I played Hercules with the lid myself.

489
00:31:29.680 --> 00:31:30.519
This time.

490
00:31:33.039 --> 00:31:36.440
I did a double take your twenty times over. The

491
00:31:36.559 --> 00:31:40.160
casket was empty. I spraad for the main house with

492
00:31:40.279 --> 00:31:42.759
David Brenda pupping at my heels in a funeral march,

493
00:31:42.839 --> 00:31:45.000
pacing me, spraying.

494
00:31:44.720 --> 00:31:46.359
Got me within a foot of the front door when

495
00:31:46.400 --> 00:31:47.279
the music stopped.

496
00:31:55.519 --> 00:32:02.559
Holly was next. I have to walk, oh loups keeping

497
00:32:02.680 --> 00:32:04.200
us from shut shop.

498
00:32:08.759 --> 00:32:12.400
It was Polly, same place on the floor in the

499
00:32:12.480 --> 00:32:14.839
watch store, at the foot of the organ, same kind

500
00:32:14.880 --> 00:32:19.119
of death, like Walter, sitting rigidly with her hands clasped

501
00:32:19.160 --> 00:32:21.799
on her knees, like a child at her father's feet.

502
00:32:22.680 --> 00:32:30.119
Whist Walter, then Polly, he said, I'm the youngest, I'm last.

503
00:32:34.640 --> 00:32:36.640
When my feet felt steady enough, I went to see

504
00:32:36.720 --> 00:32:39.559
if Luther Brenda had settled back in his casket. I

505
00:32:39.680 --> 00:32:43.279
went to see just as a matter of routine, I'd

506
00:32:43.319 --> 00:32:45.839
find him there. I was sure of it. I'd find

507
00:32:45.920 --> 00:32:50.279
him there because there wasn't an organ going. That's how

508
00:32:50.359 --> 00:32:54.160
it began to think I wasn't your boy anymore, Yabby,

509
00:32:54.720 --> 00:32:59.680
I was practically your Brenda. I never reached the masoleum

510
00:33:01.680 --> 00:33:07.119
because out there in the dark I saw Luther Brenda.

511
00:33:08.440 --> 00:33:11.440
I stood knee deep in the wags and watched lutheror

512
00:33:11.519 --> 00:33:15.200
Brenda walk past me and head straight as an arrow

513
00:33:15.359 --> 00:33:21.759
for the mausoleum, a dead man who was returning to

514
00:33:21.839 --> 00:33:25.799
his caskin. I took his picture, her rear profiled view.

515
00:33:26.599 --> 00:33:31.160
My hands worked the camera automatically from habit. I didn't

516
00:33:31.240 --> 00:33:34.119
start screaming until the monsoleum door closed.

517
00:33:33.799 --> 00:33:36.759
Behind him, and then I couldn't stop.

518
00:33:41.759 --> 00:33:47.680
Who feel better for the sleep kids?

519
00:33:48.720 --> 00:33:48.920
Yeah?

520
00:33:50.759 --> 00:33:52.359
I feel okay?

521
00:33:53.839 --> 00:33:55.119
What time?

522
00:33:56.319 --> 00:33:59.720
And I am? That gave you something to crunch you down?

523
00:34:01.799 --> 00:34:01.920
Here?

524
00:34:02.000 --> 00:34:08.639
We'll get out. Sure I make any sense to you

525
00:34:08.760 --> 00:34:14.159
early this morning? Sure we're not talking about it? Called me,

526
00:34:15.760 --> 00:34:20.320

adults we can watch it. Gentlemen, your attention please.

530
00:34:35.639 --> 00:34:40.000
The sale is about to commence by authority invested in

531
00:34:40.159 --> 00:34:44.440
me by the Board of Supervisors of the Incorporated Township

532
00:34:44.519 --> 00:34:45.360
of Christian Ballet.

533
00:34:46.119 --> 00:34:47.719
I now offer you tax.

534
00:34:47.599 --> 00:34:51.280

public sale.

536
00:34:52.559 --> 00:34:58.400
Great public sale, not a soul game. Nobody wants the place.

537
00:35:00.159 --> 00:35:06.400
Brenda goes with it. That m see, Sir OLIVERA and

538
00:35:06.519 --> 00:35:12.639
that's David Brenda. That keeps him out of a padded cell.

539
00:35:12.880 --> 00:35:17.719
The tax warrants amount to three thousand dollars, gentlemen. The

540
00:35:17.960 --> 00:35:22.800
minimum bid I am empowered to accept is three thousand dollars.

541
00:35:23.800 --> 00:35:30.800
Bid lively, gentlemen, Now take us Come there, mister auctioneer.

542
00:35:31.280 --> 00:35:37.000
Yes, in the absence of bids, I've bid exactly three

543
00:35:37.119 --> 00:35:43.159
thousand dollars. So sold to your name, please, Lotric, Sir

544
00:35:43.280 --> 00:35:45.719
Oliver Lotric man Kirby.

545
00:35:47.079 --> 00:35:53.679
So I wanted to hear, yes, what's here that's worth

546
00:35:53.719 --> 00:35:58.239
three thousand dollars? And must die answer that question. You'd

547
00:35:58.360 --> 00:36:01.760
better in franto and don't tell me you've gotten attached

548
00:36:01.800 --> 00:36:02.960
to a walking dead man.

549
00:36:03.400 --> 00:36:06.519
My work prompted me to make that bid three thousand

550
00:36:06.559 --> 00:36:10.000
dollars enables me to pursue my research. I'd been advised

551
00:36:10.079 --> 00:36:12.599
as the country plan to raise the house to the ground.

552
00:36:12.679 --> 00:36:16.119
If no bid was forthcoming, that would be a pity,

553
00:36:16.840 --> 00:36:18.800
irreparable loss to the study.

554
00:36:18.519 --> 00:36:22.239
Of Huban natural phenomena. But no about asked to you, eh,

555
00:36:23.519 --> 00:36:28.960
and I shall say a hundred thousand dollars. You're You're

556
00:36:29.039 --> 00:36:31.800
making no sense at all to me, and not Anne.

557
00:36:32.760 --> 00:36:35.239
There's a cop here ho teality and basic English.

558
00:36:36.920 --> 00:36:40.480
You tell him, sergeant, one hundred thousand dollars in jewels

559
00:36:40.519 --> 00:36:43.039
stolen by an escaped convict who came through here and

560
00:36:43.119 --> 00:36:46.920
murdered Old Luther Brenda ten years ago. The killer left

561
00:36:46.960 --> 00:36:50.119
the jewels behind him for safe keeping because he was

562
00:36:50.199 --> 00:36:52.639
wanted in twelve states. He was hotter than a firecracker,

563
00:36:52.920 --> 00:36:55.320
and you would never crash through roadblocks set up to

564
00:36:55.360 --> 00:36:59.199
tramp him. My theory is that the jewels are bricked

565
00:36:59.239 --> 00:37:01.599
in somewhere was a part of the Brendan dwelling.

566
00:37:02.599 --> 00:37:05.679
Isn't that why I bought the house aroundover to be

567
00:37:05.760 --> 00:37:07.639
free to take a wall down at your leisure and

568
00:37:07.760 --> 00:37:09.360
pocket a bank full of jewels me.

569
00:37:09.559 --> 00:37:13.559
It's a preposterous theory in my opinion. Gentlemen, your surroundings

570
00:37:13.599 --> 00:37:15.039
here ever vaged your minds.

571
00:37:15.320 --> 00:37:18.639
You're all stark mad h that gimmick.

572
00:37:20.119 --> 00:37:22.679
Give him the rest of it, Sergeant the corpse that

573
00:37:22.800 --> 00:37:26.079
gets up and plays the organ, that's you trick now,

574
00:37:26.079 --> 00:37:29.519
I don't waste your breath denying it. Among other items

575
00:37:29.599 --> 00:37:33.320
of proof, we've got photographic evidence.

576
00:37:39.039 --> 00:37:42.360
That wraps up the ghost story. I called me, sir.

577
00:37:42.400 --> 00:37:44.760
Oliva was caught in that road about ten years ago.

578
00:37:45.559 --> 00:37:47.800
So after time then came right back to Christenberry and

579
00:37:47.880 --> 00:37:53.039
his jewel cash photographic evidence. Conley said, what do you

580
00:37:53.159 --> 00:37:56.000
mean that picture you took at the brand of walking

581
00:37:56.079 --> 00:37:58.880
back into the Mausleum. We developed it and blew it up.

582
00:38:00.079 --> 00:38:03.000
Oliver wearing a plastic mask was a close copy of

583
00:38:03.119 --> 00:38:06.679
Luther Brenda's features. He found the mask in his luggage,

584
00:38:07.159 --> 00:38:13.679
but the casket was actually empty. Twice another lotric operation

585
00:38:15.119 --> 00:38:20.079
than ana up picking your brains. It's all ABC open

586
00:38:20.159 --> 00:38:23.079
and shut everything, but it's logically everything ends up. But

587
00:38:23.239 --> 00:38:27.320
they were sitting on the floor with their hands clasped

588
00:38:27.360 --> 00:38:32.719
around their knees. Walder and Polly like children, listening to music. Oh,

589
00:38:33.159 --> 00:38:36.599
I'm begging you, get that my lockey out of your head.

590
00:38:36.800 --> 00:38:41.119
Dead men don't sit down and play the organ, don't they.

591
00:38:41.239 --> 00:38:46.360
Cabby listen at a time like there's some jerk decides

592
00:38:46.440 --> 00:38:49.400
to play the organ. It's all Luther Brenda up there

593
00:38:49.400 --> 00:38:53.639
in the watch tarn playing his favorite piece. He's out

594
00:38:53.679 --> 00:38:58.039
of his casket. That's the organist. David's on the floor

595
00:38:58.199 --> 00:39:02.639
like a child listen to his father play. Colby, quit it.

596
00:39:03.199 --> 00:39:09.599
HiT's David's turn now, after Walter came Polly, David's last

597
00:39:09.800 --> 00:39:14.760
because he's the youngest. It's his turn now to go

598
00:39:14.960 --> 00:39:18.320
back to his father's keeping. Soon the music will stop,

599
00:39:19.119 --> 00:39:32.519
and David would scream, listen, Gabby, see Gabby. David sits

600
00:39:32.599 --> 00:39:41.079
like the others on the floor dead hedagant, Yeah, been

601
00:39:41.239 --> 00:39:46.119
this one on lot trick And what killed David Brenda? Oh,

602
00:39:46.360 --> 00:39:51.320
Luther Brenda killed and Gabby. David was last to go

603
00:39:51.599 --> 00:39:56.559
because he was the youngest. Shut up. Colby, who who

604
00:39:56.599 --> 00:40:01.920
was saying, sergeant oh, visible injury our fans. I'd say

605
00:40:01.960 --> 00:40:05.519
he was fighting the death brought a seizure on himself. Sure,

606
00:40:05.840 --> 00:40:10.199
sure that makes sense. They fighting himself to death? Does it?

607
00:40:10.400 --> 00:40:16.679
Make sense, Gabby, David Brenda played an organ solo for

608
00:40:16.960 --> 00:40:21.360
David Brenda. He shot at the organ, pumping the pedals

609
00:40:22.320 --> 00:40:25.880
and shot on the floor at the same time. Sure

610
00:40:26.079 --> 00:40:29.400
it makes sense, got to makes sense.

611
00:40:29.679 --> 00:40:34.679
He played a funeral march and died listening to him.

612
00:40:36.000 --> 00:40:42.280
One man in two places at the same time, doesn't

613
00:40:42.440 --> 00:40:44.000
really make that, Gavvy.

614
00:40:56.079 --> 00:40:57.719
The Brendas are back together again.

615
00:40:58.159 --> 00:41:01.000
Now there's one gang that believes he's in a family,

616
00:41:01.559 --> 00:41:08.559
Ties that buy tom cinec with the straight eggs, And

617
00:41:08.719 --> 00:41:11.800
that's all of a nice guy ranch your attic to.

618
00:41:14.599 --> 00:41:17.039
I've totally he's using himself as a basis for research.

619
00:41:17.199 --> 00:41:20.719
Now he's bringing his notebooking pencil into the hot seat

620
00:41:20.760 --> 00:41:26.360
with him. Expect to record impressions that will electrify nobody.

621
00:41:26.440 --> 00:41:31.920
But I'd say, if you ever run into a walking

622
00:41:32.079 --> 00:41:35.519
corps mister, blow the whistle on yourself. You're on a

623
00:41:36.039 --> 00:41:37.440
dead end street.

624
00:41:48.400 --> 00:41:50.920

stone walls of mine. Don't you work? Oh no, no no,

let's do something special together together. This one features a

640
00:43:50.880 --> 00:43:53.119
good friend of mine and one that I spend a

641
00:43:53.199 --> 00:43:58.280
lot of evenings with in my ay job. As it were.

642
00:43:59.519 --> 00:44:02.880
Three skeleton Enjoy and enjoy Joy.

643
00:44:04.599 --> 00:44:09.719
Tired of the everyday routine, ever dream of a life

644
00:44:09.880 --> 00:44:11.719
of romantic adventure.

645
00:44:12.920 --> 00:44:14.679
I want to get away from it all.

646
00:44:15.119 --> 00:44:17.840
We offer you escape.

647
00:44:21.519 --> 00:44:24.239
Escape, designed to fore you from the four walls of

648
00:44:24.320 --> 00:44:27.159
today for a half hour of high adventure.

649
00:44:30.719 --> 00:44:35.159
Tonight, we escape to a lonely lighthouse off the steaming

650
00:44:35.400 --> 00:44:40.440
jungle coast of French Guiana and a nightmare world of

651
00:44:40.920 --> 00:44:45.400
terror and violence. As we bring you again in response

652
00:44:45.480 --> 00:44:52.079
to hundreds of requests, three skeleton key starring Vincent Price.

653
00:45:02.519 --> 00:45:07.679
Picture this place, a gray, tapering cylinder welded by iron

654
00:45:07.800 --> 00:45:11.840
rods and concrete. To the key itself, a bare black

655
00:45:12.039 --> 00:45:15.519
rock one hundred and fifty feet long, maybe forty wide,

656
00:45:15.800 --> 00:45:16.960
that's at low tide.

657
00:45:17.679 --> 00:45:20.559
At high tide, just the lighthouse.

658
00:45:20.159 --> 00:45:22.599
Rising one hundred and ten feet straight up out of

659
00:45:22.639 --> 00:45:27.639
the ocean, and all about it the churning water, gray

660
00:45:27.840 --> 00:45:32.880
green scum, dappled warm as soup, and swarming with gigantic

661
00:45:33.079 --> 00:45:38.079
vat like devilfish, great violet schools, a Portuguese man of war.

662
00:45:38.159 --> 00:45:42.559
And yes, sharks, the big ones, the fifteen footers. And

663
00:45:42.679 --> 00:45:45.920
as if this weren't enough, there was a hot, dank,

664
00:45:46.159 --> 00:45:48.880
rotten smelling wind that came at us day and night,

665
00:45:49.000 --> 00:45:52.280
off the jungle swamps of the mainland, a wind that

666
00:45:52.480 --> 00:45:56.400
smelled like death, a wind that had smelled the slow

667
00:45:56.480 --> 00:46:01.199
and frightful death that came one night to this black rock.

668
00:46:04.679 --> 00:46:07.320
Set in the base of the light was a watertight

669
00:46:07.480 --> 00:46:13.199
bronze door. And then you went and up, yes, up,

670
00:46:13.400 --> 00:46:17.199
and up and round and round, past the tanks of oil,

671
00:46:17.280 --> 00:46:21.079
in the coils of rope, casks of wicks, racks of lanterns,

672
00:46:21.199 --> 00:46:24.159
sacks of spuds, and cartons and cans, and up.

673
00:46:24.559 --> 00:46:27.000
And up and up, round and round.

674
00:46:28.320 --> 00:46:32.079
Over the light storeroom was the food storeroom, and over

675
00:46:32.159 --> 00:46:34.639
the food storeroom was the bunk room where the three

676
00:46:34.719 --> 00:46:37.280
of us slept. And over the bunk room was the

677
00:46:37.360 --> 00:46:40.360
living and cooking room, and over the living and cooking room.

678
00:46:40.840 --> 00:46:41.360
Was the light.

679
00:46:45.119 --> 00:46:48.840
She was a beauty, big steel and bronze baby, with

680
00:46:48.920 --> 00:46:52.079
the sun gleaming through the glass walls, all about bouncing,

681
00:46:52.199 --> 00:46:55.960
blinding little beams off the big shining reflectors, glittering and

682
00:46:56.079 --> 00:46:59.840
refracting through her lenses. The whole gigantic bulk of her

683
00:47:00.000 --> 00:47:03.239
balance like a ballerina on the glistening steel axle of

684
00:47:03.320 --> 00:47:04.480
her rotary mechanism.

685
00:47:05.000 --> 00:47:05.519
She was a.

686
00:47:05.840 --> 00:47:13.360
Sweetheart of a light. And at night you'd lie there

687
00:47:13.480 --> 00:47:17.039
on the stone deck of the gallery with her revolving

688
00:47:17.360 --> 00:47:21.519
smoothly and quietly over your head, easing her bright white

689
00:47:21.639 --> 00:47:25.480
eye three hundred and sixty degrees around the horizon. You'd

690
00:47:25.559 --> 00:47:28.800
lie there, watching to see that the feeders kept working,

691
00:47:28.880 --> 00:47:32.079
that everything ran right, and it wouldn't be bad. The

692
00:47:32.239 --> 00:47:35.440
other two fellas snoring in their sacks two levels down,

693
00:47:36.159 --> 00:47:39.079
you'd smoke your pipe to kill the stink of the wind,

694
00:47:39.239 --> 00:47:48.199
and it wouldn't be bad about those other two. Louis

695
00:47:48.239 --> 00:47:52.280
and August. What a pair Louis he was. Headman was

696
00:47:52.360 --> 00:47:56.320
a big fellow from the Basque country, black beard, little hard,

697
00:47:56.440 --> 00:47:58.599
black eyes, and a pair of arms that I tell you,

698
00:47:58.760 --> 00:48:02.280
those arms were as big around as my legs. Yes,

699
00:48:02.440 --> 00:48:05.119
head man he was, and what word he let go

700
00:48:05.480 --> 00:48:08.840
was law. A silent fellow. And although I spent my

701
00:48:08.960 --> 00:48:11.880
first two weeks trying to strike up a real conversation,

702
00:48:12.440 --> 00:48:14.960
the most I could ever get out of him was John.

703
00:48:15.199 --> 00:48:18.679
I took up this profession because I don't like people.

704
00:48:18.800 --> 00:48:23.280
They want to talk too much. It's quiet, work, light tending.

705
00:48:23.400 --> 00:48:27.239
Let's keep it that way. You're getting to be as

706
00:48:27.360 --> 00:48:31.679
bad as August. So maybe for once he sent me somebody.

707
00:48:31.480 --> 00:48:32.480
That was Lewis.

708
00:48:33.480 --> 00:48:36.880
When he accused me of becoming like August, I quieted

709
00:48:37.039 --> 00:48:40.559
down because August was the talkingest man I'd ever met,

710
00:48:41.199 --> 00:48:45.760
the talkingest and the ugliest. He was hunchbacked, stood four

711
00:48:45.880 --> 00:48:49.280
feet high, had red hair, and big blue eyes. It

712
00:48:49.360 --> 00:48:52.280
seems he'd been an actor in Paris, indeed.

713
00:48:52.000 --> 00:48:55.400
Played in over two hundred different productions. Dear Boy at

714
00:48:55.440 --> 00:48:59.639
the graangignole. Oh, but it was monstrous, horrible, the way

715
00:48:59.719 --> 00:49:01.440
we to scare the audiences.

716
00:49:02.039 --> 00:49:02.880
I was hated.

717
00:49:03.320 --> 00:49:04.800
Yes, yes, they used to throw.

718
00:49:04.719 --> 00:49:07.840
Things and hiss and bare their teeth that gray. Finally

719
00:49:07.880 --> 00:49:08.679
it got too bad.

720
00:49:09.159 --> 00:49:12.079
I couldn't stand it any longer. I gave up the

721
00:49:12.159 --> 00:49:15.199
theater my nerves, you understand, Yes, gave it up completely.

722
00:49:15.280 --> 00:49:16.760
I really didn't, couldn't stand.

723
00:49:16.800 --> 00:49:27.320
It all started one morning at two thirty. I was

724
00:49:27.440 --> 00:49:30.960
on watch, lying on the cool stone deck, pulling on

725
00:49:31.079 --> 00:49:35.559
my pipe, staring out at the blackness, the phosphorescent combers

726
00:49:35.679 --> 00:49:38.599
and the big yellow stars, when out of the corner

727
00:49:38.679 --> 00:49:41.519
of my eye I noticed something show up. For a second,

728
00:49:42.000 --> 00:49:46.119
something the light had touched far off. I waited for

729
00:49:46.280 --> 00:49:48.719
it to come around again, and when she did, there

730
00:49:48.800 --> 00:49:54.440
it was a three Master, a big one, about a

731
00:49:54.519 --> 00:49:57.719
half mile off and coming down out of the north northwest,

732
00:49:58.119 --> 00:50:01.639
coming straight for us. You must understand, our light was

733
00:50:01.679 --> 00:50:04.760
where it was for a very good reason. Dangerous submerged

734
00:50:04.800 --> 00:50:08.280
reefs surrounded us, and ships kept clear. But this one,

735
00:50:08.440 --> 00:50:12.119
this sailing vessel, was coming straight on. I went over

736
00:50:12.320 --> 00:50:18.159
to the gallery door and yelled, lay lie, I couldn't

737
00:50:18.239 --> 00:50:22.159
understand it. I waited for the light to come around again?

738
00:50:22.599 --> 00:50:25.199
Why ship headed for the wreaths.

739
00:50:27.639 --> 00:50:31.280
I had the glasses out. Now I couldn't read her name,

740
00:50:31.440 --> 00:50:35.519
but I could see her quite plainly, all sail set,

741
00:50:35.679 --> 00:50:39.559
with her foam creaming away under her bow, her beautiful lines.

742
00:50:39.880 --> 00:50:41.199
A Dutch ship, I guessed her.

743
00:50:41.639 --> 00:50:45.039
But why didn't she turn? Every time it passed? Our

744
00:50:45.199 --> 00:50:46.920
light hit her with a glare of day?

745
00:50:47.199 --> 00:50:47.480
Ship?

746
00:50:48.320 --> 00:50:51.400
Where north northwest? The light will touch her in a moment,

747
00:50:52.480 --> 00:50:53.519
can't they see?

748
00:50:53.880 --> 00:50:54.320
Look at her?

749
00:50:54.400 --> 00:50:57.360
She just keeps coming on the squarehead?

750
00:50:57.599 --> 00:50:58.039
What is it?

751
00:50:58.239 --> 00:50:58.679
What is it?

752
00:50:58.920 --> 00:51:00.360
Watch north north west?

753
00:51:01.559 --> 00:51:03.239
I know, I know what it is?

754
00:51:03.800 --> 00:51:05.159
What the Dutchman?

755
00:51:05.239 --> 00:51:07.360
The flying Dutchman. We did a play about her once.

756
00:51:07.440 --> 00:51:12.239
Oh what a performance? You ghastly gallion, hag ridden custreme.

757
00:51:12.320 --> 00:51:13.360
Must have shut up.

758
00:51:15.559 --> 00:51:21.440
She's loving, yes, sloppy way to come about. She's derelic

759
00:51:21.559 --> 00:51:24.400
that's a derelict, abandoned. The crew left her for some

760
00:51:24.559 --> 00:51:27.639
reason or early. But instead of sinking, she's gone on

761
00:51:28.519 --> 00:51:29.719
running before every wind.

762
00:51:29.840 --> 00:51:32.519
She'll not run long, not with these reefs to break

763
00:51:32.559 --> 00:51:32.840
her up.

764
00:51:33.400 --> 00:51:37.719
A beautiful ship, now, why would men leave a beautiful

765
00:51:37.840 --> 00:51:38.480
ship like that?

766
00:51:42.719 --> 00:51:45.960
She didn't ram us, although we all expected it. But

767
00:51:46.079 --> 00:51:48.840
as we waited for the crash, she left again, caught

768
00:51:48.960 --> 00:51:54.599
some odd dust and wet about. We watched her the

769
00:51:54.679 --> 00:51:57.760
rest of those black hours, healing and rocking, pushed and

770
00:51:57.920 --> 00:52:01.800
pulled by every stray wind, every freak current. Watched her

771
00:52:01.880 --> 00:52:05.039
until the dawn came, till the sea turned from black

772
00:52:05.119 --> 00:52:08.920
to a pearly gray, and on she came again, heading

773
00:52:09.079 --> 00:52:11.960
for us. We all had our glasses trained on her.

774
00:52:12.079 --> 00:52:18.000
Now versed, you can kill the life, right? She doesn't

775
00:52:18.039 --> 00:52:21.239
look so good by daylight. I think she'll ground this time?

776
00:52:21.679 --> 00:52:24.000
What I say, do you think she'll ground this time?

777
00:52:24.199 --> 00:52:24.320
Em?

778
00:52:25.880 --> 00:52:30.039
This is impossible, absolutely impossible.

779
00:52:30.159 --> 00:52:31.679
What here?

780
00:52:32.519 --> 00:52:34.280
Take my glasses, they're better than yours.

781
00:52:34.320 --> 00:52:38.480
All right, what is it your? I had to focus,

782
00:52:38.599 --> 00:52:44.880
and then my breath froze in my throat. The decks

783
00:52:44.960 --> 00:52:47.840
were swarming with a dark brown carpet that looked like

784
00:52:47.920 --> 00:52:51.400
a gigantic fungus, but undulating, and on the masts and

785
00:52:51.559 --> 00:52:54.360
yards the guys and all were hundreds, no thousands, No,

786
00:52:54.960 --> 00:52:58.320
I don't know, an endless number of enormous rats.

787
00:53:00.519 --> 00:53:06.360
See them? Yes, I see them. Now we know why

788
00:53:06.440 --> 00:53:07.239
she's sterily?

789
00:53:07.480 --> 00:53:09.039
Yes, now we know?

790
00:53:09.400 --> 00:53:10.760
What are you two doing here?

791
00:53:10.840 --> 00:53:13.599
Give me a look, yes, give him the glasses. Take

792
00:53:13.719 --> 00:53:17.599
a good look, chattter box, give you something to talk about.

793
00:53:17.920 --> 00:53:23.719
She's still heading for us. Yes, she's going to turn.

794
00:53:23.800 --> 00:53:28.000
She better turn soon. Suppose she doesn't, you mean, suppose

795
00:53:28.039 --> 00:53:29.079
she piles up on the key.

796
00:53:29.960 --> 00:53:33.199
It's slow tide. Yes, yes it is.

797
00:53:34.480 --> 00:53:36.199
Where's all the conversation?

798
00:53:36.480 --> 00:53:40.280
August euh here wants the glasses again?

799
00:53:41.159 --> 00:53:43.960
On another look, she's still coming on.

800
00:53:46.039 --> 00:53:46.320
Turn.

801
00:53:46.639 --> 00:53:47.679
Will you turn?

802
00:53:47.840 --> 00:53:49.800
I say, I pray you turn.

803
00:53:52.519 --> 00:53:53.360
She's cracking up.

804
00:53:55.039 --> 00:53:55.519
The rots.

805
00:53:56.440 --> 00:53:59.960
Look on the water like a confidence swimming.

806
00:54:00.280 --> 00:54:04.000
Sure they're swimming. Those are ships, right, but they're.

807
00:54:04.079 --> 00:54:05.360
Swimming for the rocks.

808
00:54:05.440 --> 00:54:06.239
The don't belong.

809
00:54:06.639 --> 00:54:07.119
It's open.

810
00:54:07.440 --> 00:54:07.760
Come on.

811
00:54:09.559 --> 00:54:09.960
The town.

812
00:54:10.079 --> 00:54:13.079
We went racing down the slow stairs, taking them three

813
00:54:13.159 --> 00:54:13.639
and four.

814
00:54:13.519 --> 00:54:14.000
At a time.

815
00:54:14.199 --> 00:54:16.000
Scared. You bet we were scared.

816
00:54:16.039 --> 00:54:16.440
August.

817
00:54:16.679 --> 00:54:17.480
You get the windows.

818
00:54:17.559 --> 00:54:18.400
Maybe they can climb.

819
00:54:18.480 --> 00:54:19.519
We don't know, Gracie.

820
00:54:26.880 --> 00:54:30.519
Look see them, Oh yes I do.

821
00:54:31.400 --> 00:54:32.400
At the other end of the rock.

822
00:54:32.639 --> 00:54:33.960
Look at the millions.

823
00:54:35.119 --> 00:54:37.519
They smell us here they come.

824
00:54:39.039 --> 00:54:39.679
Close the door.

825
00:54:40.239 --> 00:54:42.599
Hand can stare me?

826
00:54:43.000 --> 00:54:44.239
Oh you.

827
00:54:47.239 --> 00:54:47.559
Made it.

828
00:54:50.519 --> 00:54:51.320
That was close.

829
00:54:52.400 --> 00:54:56.719
One guy in look there, hurt.

830
00:55:00.760 --> 00:55:03.960
And his eyes were wild and red, his teeth long

831
00:55:04.079 --> 00:55:07.559
and sharp and yellow. He went for a star of rabinous,

832
00:55:07.599 --> 00:55:09.679
and we fought him, bought that one rat all over

833
00:55:09.719 --> 00:55:12.719
the room. It was, Oh, believe me, I do not exaggerate.

834
00:55:12.760 --> 00:55:14.320
It was like fighting a pan.

835
00:55:16.199 --> 00:55:18.960
Got him, We better get aloft.

836
00:55:21.719 --> 00:55:24.519
As we ran up the winding staircase, we passed the

837
00:55:24.599 --> 00:55:27.599
tiny windows of the various levels, and at every one

838
00:55:27.840 --> 00:55:32.239
was a thick, wriggling, screaming curtain of brown fur. I

839
00:55:32.360 --> 00:55:34.840
was ahead of Louis, and I gred at each successive level.

840
00:55:35.159 --> 00:55:36.719
Suppose they had found a way in.

841
00:55:38.400 --> 00:55:41.400
Look at them, it's a light man, Look at them.

842
00:55:42.280 --> 00:55:44.880
The air of the gallery was thick and fetted with

843
00:55:45.000 --> 00:55:49.079
the stink of him. The light was dim, brown, filtered

844
00:55:49.199 --> 00:55:51.840
through the crawling mask that swarmed over the glass.

845
00:55:51.880 --> 00:55:52.480
All abouts.

846
00:55:52.960 --> 00:55:55.760
We could not see the sky, nothing, nothing but them,

847
00:55:56.559 --> 00:56:00.280
their red eyes, that claws, their wriggling, hairy snouts.

848
00:56:00.440 --> 00:56:02.719
And their teeth. The rats.

849
00:56:03.519 --> 00:56:06.800
They screamed and howled and threw themselves against the glass.

850
00:56:07.480 --> 00:56:13.880
They were starving, And we three, we stood very quiet there.

851
00:56:13.960 --> 00:56:16.440
He got it quietly in the center of the classroom,

852
00:56:16.519 --> 00:56:22.320
under our beautiful light, and we waited, what can we do.

853
00:56:23.039 --> 00:56:24.840
What can we do to take it easill?

854
00:56:25.000 --> 00:56:26.159
And take it easy?

855
00:56:26.840 --> 00:56:30.320
Just won't do an. It won't do any good to

856
00:56:30.400 --> 00:56:31.400
stand here in shake.

857
00:56:33.119 --> 00:56:33.559
That's right.

858
00:56:34.960 --> 00:56:36.559
Anybody wants cigarette?

859
00:56:36.639 --> 00:56:40.599
Yes, yes, I haven't you good boy. We've got to

860
00:56:40.719 --> 00:56:42.000
keep calm about this.

861
00:56:42.159 --> 00:56:45.000
And there's a light.

862
00:56:48.039 --> 00:56:49.519
They don't light the fire, do that?

863
00:56:50.079 --> 00:56:50.239
Yes?

864
00:56:50.400 --> 00:56:52.000
Not give me another match?

865
00:56:56.840 --> 00:56:57.639
You don't like that much?

866
00:56:57.719 --> 00:56:58.119
Day you like?

867
00:56:58.239 --> 00:56:59.920
Don't wild them, August.

868
00:57:00.480 --> 00:57:02.920
Give me some more matches. I'll strike them and strike

869
00:57:02.960 --> 00:57:04.840
them and strike them until they get scared and go away.

870
00:57:05.039 --> 00:57:05.559
You won't go.

871
00:57:05.719 --> 00:57:15.960
Away, not until finish it, not until what not, until

872
00:57:16.159 --> 00:57:18.480
they've been said.

873
00:57:26.039 --> 00:57:28.639
You can take just so much harder, and then you

874
00:57:28.800 --> 00:57:32.320
get used to it. And they were interesting to watch,

875
00:57:32.480 --> 00:57:36.480
you know. They couldn't understand the glass. They could see us,

876
00:57:36.519 --> 00:57:39.239
and they could rush at us, but that thin, invisible

877
00:57:39.400 --> 00:57:42.800
barrier held them off, stop them. From time to time

878
00:57:42.920 --> 00:57:45.800
we caught a glimpse of the rocks below. More rats

879
00:57:45.920 --> 00:57:50.280
down there, swarming brown velvet in the bright tropical sunlight.

880
00:57:51.199 --> 00:57:57.360
And then the tide began to rise. If only it

881
00:57:57.440 --> 00:58:02.480
had drowned some of them ships. Rats don't drowned, No, sir,

882
00:58:02.639 --> 00:58:04.199
you cannot drown one of them.

883
00:58:04.440 --> 00:58:06.000
They're all climbing up the tower.

884
00:58:06.360 --> 00:58:08.559
This bunch around us is getting thicker.

885
00:58:09.519 --> 00:58:11.679
Say what's the time? Quarter six?

886
00:58:12.199 --> 00:58:16.360
You've got first watch John, right, eh, wake me at ten,

887
00:58:16.599 --> 00:58:18.760
I will come along, Ervis.

888
00:58:20.639 --> 00:58:21.760
It was getting dark.

889
00:58:22.760 --> 00:58:25.960
One side of the room was lit a soft filtered

890
00:58:26.159 --> 00:58:31.639
red sunset through the rats. Oh very pretty. I set

891
00:58:31.719 --> 00:58:35.079
the wicks, checked my fuel, and then lit the lamps.

892
00:58:37.519 --> 00:58:38.159
It cough.

893
00:58:38.239 --> 00:58:42.159
The lit them in their gigantic, wriggling web of pale,

894
00:58:42.320 --> 00:58:47.159
hairless bellies, twitching red tails, bright eyes. Then I started

895
00:58:47.199 --> 00:58:53.360
the rotary motor light of the mad as she swung

896
00:58:53.599 --> 00:58:57.039
slowly and smoothly about. She blinded them in the fierce

897
00:58:57.159 --> 00:59:01.119
stabbing bar of light, moving continually about, of a training

898
00:59:01.239 --> 00:59:05.039
of the cutsing of a moving around and around, and say,

899
00:59:05.199 --> 00:59:08.679
twitching and shuddering, eyes flaming when they were struck by

900
00:59:08.719 --> 00:59:12.679
the light rise light, moving and behind on the dark

901
00:59:12.760 --> 00:59:15.159
side of the room, so close, so close. I could

902
00:59:15.199 --> 00:59:17.519
not turn my back, But it cannot help turning your

903
00:59:17.559 --> 00:59:20.039
back when you're in a room made of glass. On

904
00:59:20.159 --> 00:59:22.480
the dark side of the room, you could not see them,

905
00:59:23.320 --> 00:59:28.239
but only their eyes, thousands of points of blank red light,

906
00:59:28.400 --> 00:59:31.400
blinking and twinkling like the stars of help.

907
00:59:36.280 --> 00:59:39.159
Ah.

908
00:59:42.719 --> 00:59:45.280
Louis relieved me at ten, but I didn't get much

909
00:59:45.320 --> 00:59:47.559
sleep that night. And when I came up into the

910
00:59:47.679 --> 00:59:52.039
gallery early next morning, there stood August, his back to me.

911
00:59:52.119 --> 00:59:54.960
He was bowing to the rats, waving his arms and

912
00:59:55.079 --> 00:59:56.039
making a speed.

913
00:59:56.199 --> 00:59:59.559
I am going to play once again that magnificent role

914
00:59:59.599 --> 01:00:02.920
which made me the toast of the parish theater. Pray laty,

915
01:00:03.000 --> 01:00:07.199
the evil genius of the medieval underworld. I am he

916
01:00:07.440 --> 01:00:10.559
who did guide the docks soul of the Matterschale into

917
01:00:10.639 --> 01:00:16.360
the nether pads. Do not be frightened, little children.

918
01:00:16.840 --> 01:00:20.079
I will not hurt you. I stop staring at him,

919
01:00:20.119 --> 01:00:23.199
horror struck. But he didn't notice me. The man had

920
01:00:23.239 --> 01:00:26.760
gone mad. He kept painting, telling his stories to all

921
01:00:26.840 --> 01:00:28.320
the rats, leaving no one out.

922
01:00:31.679 --> 01:00:35.360
Another one, a late comer, take a seat on the aisle,

923
01:00:35.480 --> 01:00:37.639
dear patron, over there.

924
01:00:38.360 --> 01:00:43.760
The gentleman didn't. He went on bowing and scraping to

925
01:00:43.880 --> 01:00:46.800
the rats, his big blue eyes rolling and winking, his

926
01:00:47.000 --> 01:00:50.440
wild red hair waving about him. I grabbed him by

927
01:00:50.480 --> 01:00:52.840
the arms. Face.

928
01:00:54.400 --> 01:00:57.960
He looked at me like a child. Then his face

929
01:00:58.079 --> 01:01:02.679
screwed up. He looked though we were about to cry bubblo,

930
01:01:02.800 --> 01:01:04.360
go on, oh very.

931
01:01:04.280 --> 01:01:09.119
Waiting, Lita, my dear Audian Slater met you lay to day.

932
01:01:13.880 --> 01:01:17.000
Sure he was crazy, but I guess we all were.

933
01:01:17.880 --> 01:01:20.440
A few hours later he came back up and caught

934
01:01:20.599 --> 01:01:25.800
Louis and me teasing the rats. Yes, sounds horrible. It

935
01:01:26.079 --> 01:01:31.679
was fun. We could get right up against the glass

936
01:01:31.840 --> 01:01:34.760
and make faces at them. It drove them crazy. They

937
01:01:34.800 --> 01:01:38.079
would scratch away, try to get at our eyes. Louis

938
01:01:38.199 --> 01:01:40.320
was even cuter about it. He pull a piece of

939
01:01:40.360 --> 01:01:42.800
bread out of his pocket and present against the glass.

940
01:01:43.079 --> 01:01:46.880
The rats would scramble into a solid ball, biting each other,

941
01:01:47.000 --> 01:01:50.599
clustering like grapes. From time to time a whole lot

942
01:01:50.679 --> 01:01:52.880
of them would slip and fall one hundred and ten

943
01:01:52.960 --> 01:01:54.199
feet of the surf below.

944
01:01:56.920 --> 01:01:57.880
Look at the shot.

945
01:01:58.039 --> 01:01:58.800
They're eating them.

946
01:01:59.159 --> 01:02:03.440
Here the shot so our friends. Yeah, I'll get another

947
01:02:03.519 --> 01:02:09.920
budge together. Here, my beauties, that's a pile of chill

948
01:02:09.960 --> 01:02:10.320
each other.

949
01:02:13.199 --> 01:02:18.599
Very gold goose joined in two whole, very ingenious old goost.

950
01:02:19.079 --> 01:02:22.599
He learned that if he spread eagled himself against the glass,

951
01:02:22.679 --> 01:02:25.519
they bunched and bundle against his figure, and then he

952
01:02:25.760 --> 01:02:36.679
leaped back. Look my portrait in rats. It went on

953
01:02:36.920 --> 01:02:41.480
all day, and then I was lying in bed. It

954
01:02:41.599 --> 01:02:44.559
was about midnight. I was very tired, and I was

955
01:02:44.760 --> 01:02:48.239
just beginning to fall off to sleep when I became

956
01:02:48.599 --> 01:02:53.360
conscious of a news sound. Couldn't figure it at first.

957
01:02:53.880 --> 01:02:56.159
I got up, lit the lamp and went to the window.

958
01:02:57.079 --> 01:02:59.320
Even as I looked at it, I saw one of

959
01:02:59.400 --> 01:03:03.119
the panes begin to sag again. They had eaten the

960
01:03:03.199 --> 01:03:03.800
wood away.

961
01:03:05.079 --> 01:03:07.280
Louie, Louie, come quick, what what is it?

962
01:03:07.599 --> 01:03:08.199
Found the way in?

963
01:03:09.320 --> 01:03:10.880
I held the glass with my hand.

964
01:03:11.559 --> 01:03:13.639
Now they were all going crazy and assured of the

965
01:03:13.679 --> 01:03:16.159
success of this maneuver. We're all nibbling away at the wood.

966
01:03:16.519 --> 01:03:18.840
Louis ran below and then returned with a large sheet

967
01:03:18.880 --> 01:03:21.679
of tin. We spread it against the window and hammered

968
01:03:21.719 --> 01:03:24.079
it into place. Even as we did so, we felt

969
01:03:24.119 --> 01:03:27.000
the heavy body studding against the other side as the

970
01:03:27.079 --> 01:03:27.920
window gave.

971
01:03:27.800 --> 01:03:30.159
Way the hole.

972
01:03:31.199 --> 01:03:34.920
If a dozen, we're done for. Rats can't eat tin, No,

973
01:03:35.880 --> 01:03:36.360
they can't.

974
01:03:37.280 --> 01:03:37.760
So what was that?

975
01:03:38.000 --> 01:03:38.320
I don't know.

976
01:03:39.320 --> 01:03:44.000
It came from below the storom window there in.

977
01:03:44.719 --> 01:03:46.679
The swarming up the stairs, up the trap.

978
01:03:46.920 --> 01:03:51.239
Right, two're gonna got in.

979
01:03:51.679 --> 01:03:52.519
Let's go after them.

980
01:03:52.960 --> 01:03:55.400
We didn't go after them, and they came at us.

981
01:03:56.119 --> 01:03:58.639
I leaped to one side and grabbed a marlin spike

982
01:03:58.760 --> 01:04:02.480
swung and smashed one in mid air the world seeing

983
01:04:02.599 --> 01:04:05.159
Louis with the other. It had ripped his hand open

984
01:04:05.199 --> 01:04:08.079
and the blood was pouring all over the place. He

985
01:04:08.199 --> 01:04:10.880
held his hand aloft and kicked it. The snarling Rabi

986
01:04:11.039 --> 01:04:13.639
stepped and swum and got him flood.

987
01:04:14.199 --> 01:04:15.119
He got my head.

988
01:04:15.199 --> 01:04:17.280
That's both of them, Louis. I'll get you something to

989
01:04:17.360 --> 01:04:17.880
tie that up.

990
01:04:18.440 --> 01:04:18.800
Blood.

991
01:04:19.159 --> 01:04:21.480
Look at it, my blood, I'm pleading.

992
01:04:21.559 --> 01:04:24.119
I don't worry about Louis here. Look I wind this

993
01:04:24.280 --> 01:04:29.119
kerchief around it. You'll be okay. Blood, then it's not bad,

994
01:04:29.320 --> 01:04:30.039
just the flesh.

995
01:04:30.119 --> 01:04:30.320
Whoo.

996
01:04:31.960 --> 01:04:37.400
Then I became conscious of another new sound. They were

997
01:04:37.400 --> 01:04:41.920
gnawing their way through the wooden trap door. I watched

998
01:04:42.000 --> 01:04:46.039
the wood, fascinated juven's idea. It began to give way,

999
01:04:46.719 --> 01:04:51.760
and a bristling, whiskery nose showed through. Louie, Louie, we

1000
01:04:51.840 --> 01:04:52.400
got to go up.

1001
01:04:53.800 --> 01:04:55.800
Next level was the little quarters in the kitchen.

1002
01:04:55.920 --> 01:04:57.719
I slammed the trap door there.

1003
01:04:57.639 --> 01:05:02.679
Too, But if wu was wood, my blood, what are

1004
01:05:02.719 --> 01:05:03.519
we going to do? No?

1005
01:05:03.760 --> 01:05:06.199
No, we through this one in a moment.

1006
01:05:06.760 --> 01:05:10.159
The gallery the trapdoor, and the gallery is metal.

1007
01:05:10.320 --> 01:05:10.559
Good.

1008
01:05:10.800 --> 01:05:22.199
Come on, we made it. We lay across the trap door, exhausted,

1009
01:05:23.119 --> 01:05:25.880
while below us the rats took over the entire tower.

1010
01:05:26.639 --> 01:05:29.559
I could hear them howling and fighting over our food supply,

1011
01:05:29.719 --> 01:05:33.079
our water, our leather, and all about us. The others

1012
01:05:33.159 --> 01:05:37.679
screamed and glared in at us, swayed in a tangled mass,

1013
01:05:37.800 --> 01:05:47.519
hypnotized by the ever turning light. By morning, the air

1014
01:05:47.599 --> 01:05:50.320
in the little room was horrible. Until now we'd been

1015
01:05:50.360 --> 01:05:53.480
getting air from the tower below. Now that was sealed off,

1016
01:05:54.280 --> 01:05:59.559
and so was all our food and water. We lay exhausted, panting, waiting, waiting,

1017
01:06:00.719 --> 01:06:05.320
hours crawled. I I was almost dozing.

1018
01:06:05.000 --> 01:06:08.599
From fatigue when I saw a sight that brought me

1019
01:06:08.800 --> 01:06:14.360
too fast. Would you like to come in, my beauties?

1020
01:06:14.840 --> 01:06:15.239
Would you?

1021
01:06:16.199 --> 01:06:18.960
I hold the powers of life and death, and I

1022
01:06:19.119 --> 01:06:22.320
can let you in. You law August was standing by

1023
01:06:22.400 --> 01:06:25.679
the glass, and in one hand he held a wrench.

1024
01:06:26.639 --> 01:06:30.320
He was tapping the glass gently, not quite hard enough

1025
01:06:30.400 --> 01:06:35.360
to break it. Ah leased myself to my feet, slowly,

1026
01:06:35.760 --> 01:06:41.599
very slowly, Old Garding. All I have to do is

1027
01:06:41.800 --> 01:06:44.239
tap just a little harder.

1028
01:06:46.519 --> 01:06:46.880
Girls.

1029
01:06:49.159 --> 01:06:51.679
I found a coil of wire in the tool kit,

1030
01:06:51.760 --> 01:06:54.719
and I trusted him up, fastening to a stanchion in

1031
01:06:54.760 --> 01:06:57.199
the center of the room. Louis was of no help.

1032
01:06:57.239 --> 01:06:59.599
He lay on his side, looking at his bloody hand,

1033
01:07:00.239 --> 01:07:02.880
and sick as a baby. So there I was a

1034
01:07:03.000 --> 01:07:05.880
lunatic and a coward for company, and all about watching

1035
01:07:06.000 --> 01:07:16.400
our little drama. The rats the day dragged by. The

1036
01:07:16.519 --> 01:07:19.800
supply boat wasn't due for another twelve days. I don't

1037
01:07:19.840 --> 01:07:21.840
know what they could have done if they had come.

1038
01:07:22.719 --> 01:07:24.719
We had only one way of summoning them, and that

1039
01:07:24.920 --> 01:07:27.559
was to shoot off distress rockets. But the rockets were

1040
01:07:27.760 --> 01:07:33.440
four floors below, and even if they'd been right there

1041
01:07:33.480 --> 01:07:35.639
in the gallery, I couldn't have opened a window to

1042
01:07:35.760 --> 01:07:42.440
fire them. That night I tended the light, but its

1043
01:07:42.519 --> 01:07:46.639
flame was devouring our oxygen. The following day we lay

1044
01:07:47.119 --> 01:07:52.559
first tormented, starving, waiting, waiting. And following night I again

1045
01:07:52.719 --> 01:07:56.480
tended the light, but this small supply of spare wicking

1046
01:07:56.559 --> 01:08:00.599
we kept in the gallery had become exhausted, and suddenly,

1047
01:08:00.760 --> 01:08:02.880
about midnight the.

1048
01:08:02.960 --> 01:08:03.639
Light went out.

1049
01:08:05.920 --> 01:08:10.360
There's nothing I could do. Wicks were stored three levels below.

1050
01:08:11.079 --> 01:08:11.400
Nothing.

1051
01:08:11.480 --> 01:08:13.599
I could do nothing.

1052
01:08:14.679 --> 01:08:17.039
From time to time I'd strike a match to see

1053
01:08:17.079 --> 01:08:20.199
the clock, and when I did, it lit up the

1054
01:08:20.279 --> 01:08:23.840
million red eyes A bo us, all up bo.

1055
01:08:23.840 --> 01:08:30.239
Us, watching waiting below. It had grown quiet.

1056
01:08:31.359 --> 01:08:34.239
They'd cleaned this houth, and now they two were waiting,

1057
01:08:34.479 --> 01:08:42.600
all waiting, And then the rats quite suddenly were silent.

1058
01:08:46.560 --> 01:08:59.199
And then I heard it, and then I saw the

1059
01:08:59.399 --> 01:09:04.279
sky and the stars. The rats were gone. I went

1060
01:09:04.319 --> 01:09:08.199
to the glass. Out there on the water, a small

1061
01:09:08.399 --> 01:09:14.199
freighter of banana boat showing a few lights, came softly

1062
01:09:14.399 --> 01:09:16.039
and innocently at us.

1063
01:09:18.159 --> 01:09:19.079
The light was out.

1064
01:09:20.000 --> 01:09:23.760
They didn't know. I wanted to open the windows, to

1065
01:09:24.199 --> 01:09:26.880
call out to them, to warn them somehow.

1066
01:09:26.600 --> 01:09:28.520
But I was afraid.

1067
01:09:29.680 --> 01:09:32.520
What if the rats were hiding from me, tricking me?

1068
01:09:33.920 --> 01:09:34.600
So I waited.

1069
01:09:37.000 --> 01:09:40.119
She grounded very softly on a reef not two hundred

1070
01:09:40.199 --> 01:09:44.199
yards from the quay, grounded so gently that the man

1071
01:09:44.399 --> 01:09:48.800
playing the cornet was he a passenger crewman off watch

1072
01:09:48.920 --> 01:09:50.239
didn't even stop playing.

1073
01:09:52.920 --> 01:09:55.000
They tried washing her back off.

1074
01:09:55.920 --> 01:09:58.119
I could have told them to save their fuel, the

1075
01:09:58.479 --> 01:10:01.359
tide was rising, would have floated her free.

1076
01:10:03.800 --> 01:10:04.600
And I waited.

1077
01:10:24.520 --> 01:10:25.000
That's all.

1078
01:10:25.720 --> 01:10:29.239
That's the story. The sun came up and there wasn't

1079
01:10:29.279 --> 01:10:32.560
a rat on the whole key. Every last one of

1080
01:10:32.640 --> 01:10:36.039
that terrible army had left us, gone back to sea.

1081
01:10:36.760 --> 01:10:38.119
And their new ship.

1082
01:10:40.319 --> 01:10:47.399
August insane Asylumy never recovered and Louis they took him

1083
01:10:47.479 --> 01:10:53.880
into Cayenne, where he died of blood poisoning from his bite. Yes,

1084
01:10:54.479 --> 01:10:58.039
well that's the whole of it. If you'll excuse me, now,

1085
01:10:58.159 --> 01:11:02.800
I must set my traps. No, no mouse traps, no

1086
01:11:03.159 --> 01:11:08.479
rats in this lighthouse, I should say not. Life in

1087
01:11:08.600 --> 01:11:13.359
the lights isn't bad. But sometimes when I see a

1088
01:11:13.560 --> 01:11:17.239
strange vessel approaching, I will get a little nervous. Sure,

1089
01:11:18.720 --> 01:11:21.760
somewhere on the seas, there's a little banana boat without

1090
01:11:21.800 --> 01:11:25.840
a crew, that is, without a human crew.

1091
01:11:36.439 --> 01:11:40.800
Escape is produced and directed by William and Robeson tonight

1092
01:11:40.880 --> 01:11:44.079
we have presented Three Skeleton Key by George Tadoo's adapted

1093

1094
01:11:48.239 --> 01:11:51.079

1095
01:11:51.159 --> 01:11:55.439
Corey is Lewis. Sound effects on Three Skeleton Key, created

1096
01:11:55.520 --> 01:11:58.479

1097
01:11:58.560 --> 01:12:01.119
Bays and Jack six Smith have been awarded the Best

1098
01:12:01.159 --> 01:12:04.359
of the Year by Radio and Television Life magazine. Harry

1099
01:12:04.479 --> 01:12:06.680
Esmond was at the control panel and special music was

1100
01:12:06.760 --> 01:12:08.800
arranged and conducted by Del Castillo.

1101
01:12:10.479 --> 01:12:15.640
Next week, you are swimming for your life in the

1102
01:12:15.840 --> 01:12:20.640
dangerous waters off the Florida Gulf Coast, about to be

1103
01:12:20.880 --> 01:12:25.800
smashed by a launch carrying a vicious criminal who must

1104
01:12:26.000 --> 01:12:31.399
kill you or die himself. And on shore five hundred

1105
01:12:31.520 --> 01:12:36.199
yards away, the police are waiting to arrest you for

1106
01:12:36.479 --> 01:12:40.319
murder and there can be no escape.

1107
01:12:43.680 --> 01:12:46.800
Next week we escape with an exciting tale of temptation

1108
01:12:46.960 --> 01:12:49.479
and death on the Gulf Coast of Florida as John

1109
01:12:49.560 --> 01:12:53.880
and Gwen magnetality in danger at Madagumberg. Goodbye then until

1110
01:12:53.920 --> 01:12:56.399
the same time next week, when once again we offer

1111
01:12:56.520 --> 01:13:02.520
you escape. Patch of weeds, a boxer's biography, and a mild,

1112
01:13:02.640 --> 01:13:05.600
lukewarm bath. They're all clues that lead the police of Jackson,

1113
01:13:05.640 --> 01:13:08.760
Michigan to a killer. In the Gangbuster story on CBS

1114
01:13:08.840 --> 01:13:11.439
this Saturday night, it's the case of the Double Push.

1115
01:13:11.560 --> 01:13:13.720
To be heard on most of these same CBS stations

1116
01:13:13.800 --> 01:13:18.399
this Saturday night. This is CBS, the Columbia Broadcasting System.

1117
01:13:37.520 --> 01:13:41.760
Yes, DearS, I know it's getting very late, but please,

1118
01:13:42.520 --> 01:13:46.720
please please, just a little long there, a little more

1119
01:13:46.840 --> 01:13:53.319
time to enjoy ourselves. The fire's roaring now, the cold

1120
01:13:53.960 --> 01:13:58.520
it can't find us. No, no, no, tonight is all

1121
01:13:58.600 --> 01:14:04.399
about quality time. Yes, yes, what's that?

1122
01:14:04.600 --> 01:14:04.920
What's that?

1123
01:14:05.199 --> 01:14:08.680
Oh no, no, no, no, that is nothing I would

1124
01:14:08.720 --> 01:14:14.319
ever worry about, and you shouldn't either. Now please have

1125
01:14:14.439 --> 01:14:17.760
another cover of It's nice and hot and hot, And

1126
01:14:17.880 --> 01:14:24.039
this story story is all about a ghostly game of death,

1127
01:14:25.319 --> 01:14:27.439
a game I've played many a time.

1128
01:14:46.920 --> 01:14:47.239
Come in.

1129
01:14:49.800 --> 01:14:52.359
Welcome, hiam E. J.

1130
01:14:52.600 --> 01:14:53.000
Marshall.

1131
01:14:54.279 --> 01:14:59.760
Welcome to the world of your own terrifying imagination. Thank

1132
01:14:59.840 --> 01:15:02.640
the the beginning of time, people have argued about the

1133
01:15:02.800 --> 01:15:10.119
existence of ghosts. They've been called variously rapes, specters, abantoms, apparitions,

1134
01:15:10.840 --> 01:15:15.119
shadows or shades. But everyone agrees that if there are

1135
01:15:15.319 --> 01:15:18.920
such things as ghosts, they are the souls of dead

1136
01:15:19.000 --> 01:15:25.800
persons haunting living persons. And that's what our story is about. Ghosts.

1137
01:15:26.439 --> 01:15:30.079
No one, mister Garth, whether professional ghost hunters or ordinary people,

1138
01:15:31.079 --> 01:15:33.119
have ever been able to spend them in time night

1139
01:15:33.199 --> 01:15:35.960
in that house. How many have tried, mister Freendy, when

1140
01:15:36.000 --> 01:15:38.600
I know at least a dozen, that's within the past

1141
01:15:38.640 --> 01:15:40.880
two years. Who did you get any reports from the

1142
01:15:40.960 --> 01:15:44.840
professional most sketchy ones? But they all say the same thing,

1143
01:15:45.720 --> 01:15:48.279
at whatever or whoever it is, that haunts that house

1144
01:15:49.159 --> 01:15:52.880
the manifestations are the most powerful and evil in their experience.

1145
01:15:54.039 --> 01:16:05.720
They all mentioned nameless horrors after our mystery drama, A

1146
01:16:05.840 --> 01:16:09.760
Ghostly Game of Death was written especially for the Mystery

1147
01:16:09.840 --> 01:16:14.920
Theater by Murray Burnett, as starred William Print. It is

1148
01:16:15.000 --> 01:16:19.079
sponsored in part by Anheuser Busch Incorporated, brewers of Butweisers,

1149
01:16:19.479 --> 01:16:23.279
and by the Kellogg Company, makers of Kellogg's special k cereal.

1150
01:16:24.119 --> 01:16:26.479
I'll be back shortly with at once.

1151
01:16:29.239 --> 01:16:29.600
In the.

1152
01:16:37.720 --> 01:16:41.640
Nameless horrors a nice phrase, But as soon as you

1153
01:16:41.720 --> 01:16:46.319
put a name and identity to horrors, somehow they prove bearable.

1154
01:16:47.239 --> 01:16:50.000
In the last century, people have shown that they can

1155
01:16:50.199 --> 01:16:54.359
and do bear ups under mass genocide and atomic bombings.

1156
01:16:54.920 --> 01:16:58.039
But the horror that is nameless, that is the.

1157
01:16:58.079 --> 01:16:59.439
Most fearful of all.

1158
01:17:00.560 --> 01:17:03.079
And our spine tingler will try to put a name

1159
01:17:04.039 --> 01:17:05.479
to one kind of horror.

1160
01:17:06.920 --> 01:17:10.399
You ll not for you do you have argus? Which easy?

1161
01:17:10.600 --> 01:17:10.920
Ghost?

1162
01:17:11.840 --> 01:17:12.960
I can just imagine?

1163
01:17:15.720 --> 01:17:21.920
I see you, I sit you still do don't tell

1164
01:17:22.000 --> 01:17:24.079
me what is you want?

1165
01:17:24.600 --> 01:17:25.960
Please stay?

1166
01:17:27.920 --> 01:17:31.159
You want you to the house? I will are you

1167
01:17:31.239 --> 01:17:35.359
know he said what you want? Just please let me by.

1168
01:17:36.119 --> 01:17:37.000
I'll go right down.

1169
01:17:37.199 --> 01:17:40.920
S you're gout in your house, may ever come back

1170
01:17:41.600 --> 01:17:47.239
if that's what you want, don't tell me.

1171
01:17:48.319 --> 01:17:48.920
Run me out.

1172
01:18:00.840 --> 01:18:01.439
Suicide.

1173
01:18:02.439 --> 01:18:05.159
That's what all the papers served the guard. But we

1174
01:18:05.319 --> 01:18:10.359
know better. It's ghosts. That house is haunted. Missiplind is

1175
01:18:10.960 --> 01:18:15.079
my field of study is. But I can't even begin

1176
01:18:15.199 --> 01:18:16.840
to tell you whether I can help or not. I

1177
01:18:16.880 --> 01:18:19.560
don't tell you. Get control of yourself. I'm sorry, but

1178
01:18:19.720 --> 01:18:21.880
the sister Soul thing is just about putting off firm

1179
01:18:21.920 --> 01:18:25.000
out of business the house, mister Flanders, do you have

1180
01:18:25.159 --> 01:18:29.239
anything on the history of the house. Yes, it was

1181
01:18:29.279 --> 01:18:31.680
built in the early eighteen hundreds by a sea captain

1182
01:18:31.760 --> 01:18:35.760
named that from Hatch for himself and his bride, a

1183
01:18:35.760 --> 01:18:39.640
young lady named Lucy Endiconta. They lived in it for

1184
01:18:39.720 --> 01:18:42.720
some four years until the tragedy, and we knew have

1185
01:18:42.920 --> 01:18:45.479
the details well. Captain Hatch was supposed to be a

1186
01:18:45.560 --> 01:18:48.159
hell raiser in his youth, but also a great sea

1187
01:18:48.239 --> 01:18:52.000
fairy man. He was in whaling, and if the rum

1188
01:18:52.119 --> 01:18:55.600
is a true slave trading at any rate, he amassed

1189
01:18:55.640 --> 01:18:58.680
a fortune. We fell in love with his Syndercott girl,

1190
01:18:58.720 --> 01:19:01.880
who was the town beauty. He married her, settled down

1191
01:19:01.960 --> 01:19:06.159
and built this house, and the tragedy Well, the story

1192
01:19:06.279 --> 01:19:08.840
goes as nearly as we can piece it together. But

1193
01:19:09.000 --> 01:19:11.600
the captain returned from one of his voyages earlier than

1194
01:19:11.680 --> 01:19:15.840
expected and found his bride entertaining a lover, and he

1195
01:19:15.960 --> 01:19:20.399
killed them both horribly, and ever since the house has

1196
01:19:20.439 --> 01:19:26.920
been haunted and unlivable. We're building a condominium. This house

1197
01:19:27.039 --> 01:19:29.279
is a key location, right in the middle of the property.

1198
01:19:29.319 --> 01:19:33.239
We onn We can't even get records to tear it down.

1199
01:19:33.439 --> 01:19:35.720
No one will go near the place. You keep telling

1200
01:19:35.760 --> 01:19:38.920
me that no one has lived in her house. Where

1201
01:19:38.920 --> 01:19:41.439
about this girl who just died? Oh, that was the

1202
01:19:41.600 --> 01:19:45.279
stupid idea of my partner's. Her name was ROBERTA. Ginley,

1203
01:19:45.680 --> 01:19:49.880
a television reporter. She wanted to make a name for herself.

1204
01:19:50.079 --> 01:19:52.039
My partner sold me on the idea that if she

1205
01:19:52.199 --> 01:19:54.079
spent a night in the house and then went on

1206
01:19:54.239 --> 01:19:58.479
television and told people about it, our problem would be solved.

1207
01:20:00.159 --> 01:20:04.439
Now we're in a worse mess than the form. That's

1208
01:20:04.520 --> 01:20:16.520
why we came to you. Well, there you are, gentlemen.

1209
01:20:16.960 --> 01:20:19.479
It's a haunted house, now, is it always this windy?

1210
01:20:19.520 --> 01:20:23.239
Mister Flanders, Now, mister Kelly, only when the wind blows

1211
01:20:23.359 --> 01:20:25.760
me east off the ocean, out for a haunted house.

1212
01:20:26.079 --> 01:20:28.880
It looks substantial enough until we go up to the house.

1213
01:20:28.920 --> 01:20:34.079
Mister Glanders, why don't you two go? I'll wait for

1214
01:20:34.199 --> 01:20:38.279
you here. You'll be quite stage. Mister Glenny's broad daylight.

1215
01:20:39.079 --> 01:20:41.520
Jim Kelly here has been with me in more haunted

1216
01:20:41.640 --> 01:20:44.920
places and dealt with more ghosts than anyone. And chet

1217
01:20:44.960 --> 01:20:47.800
my golf, and don't forget Byron. Byron is my dog,

1218
01:20:47.920 --> 01:20:50.760
mister Flanders, and like me, he doesn't believe in ghosts.

1219
01:20:50.960 --> 01:20:56.239
That's still your Byron. Oh, I'm not gentle. It's just

1220
01:20:56.399 --> 01:20:59.600
that I've seen the house so many times. I well,

1221
01:20:59.640 --> 01:21:03.560
I don't want to influences is a Let's go, Byron.

1222
01:21:04.800 --> 01:21:06.960
We will string all our gid well it's back at

1223
01:21:06.960 --> 01:21:08.720
the motel. We won't meet it until the night.

1224
01:21:09.880 --> 01:21:10.079
Huh.

1225
01:21:10.880 --> 01:21:14.840
Wow. They certainly built solid houses in the old days.

1226
01:21:15.600 --> 01:21:16.479
Look at this door.

1227
01:21:17.960 --> 01:21:18.960
What make an easy?

1228
01:21:19.079 --> 01:21:23.000
Byron boy? Everything's okay, you got the keys right in?

1229
01:21:25.479 --> 01:21:25.880
All right?

1230
01:21:25.960 --> 01:21:26.479
Then we go?

1231
01:21:26.880 --> 01:21:30.199
Then we go. Come on now, Byron, come on, we're

1232
01:21:30.279 --> 01:21:36.159
all our way to meet the ghost. To keep Byrns quiet.

1233
01:21:36.960 --> 01:21:40.920
Hit Byron, come on, I don't think we should buy

1234
01:21:41.079 --> 01:21:43.399
the kid. Let's go up and see where we're gonna

1235
01:21:43.399 --> 01:21:44.760
speak to me, all right, I'm with you.

1236
01:21:45.479 --> 01:21:46.399
I'm along Byron.

1237
01:21:46.439 --> 01:21:46.600
There.

1238
01:21:49.079 --> 01:21:52.359
This looks like the message that I'll sleep here. Alright,

1239
01:21:52.439 --> 01:21:55.279
I'll sleep in this little alcove here, right right off

1240
01:21:55.359 --> 01:21:59.680
your room. What is the matter with you? I wasn't

1241
01:21:59.720 --> 01:22:02.600
going to take him into that alcohol, Jim. You can

1242
01:22:02.640 --> 01:22:03.880
stay in this room with me tonight.

1243
01:22:03.960 --> 01:22:04.319
All right?

1244
01:22:04.439 --> 01:22:07.359
All right, Hey, there's a door here leading outside to

1245
01:22:07.439 --> 01:22:09.560
what you call the winnow's walk. I want to come

1246
01:22:09.600 --> 01:22:12.079
out and look around. I'll be right with you. Just

1247
01:22:12.479 --> 01:22:18.720
checking the fireplace. You're gonna need logs. Okay, where's the door? Uh,

1248
01:22:19.000 --> 01:22:24.079
it's right here, getting it open a long time now?

1249
01:22:25.720 --> 01:22:25.960
Ah?

1250
01:22:26.760 --> 01:22:27.319
What have you?

1251
01:22:28.560 --> 01:22:32.279
Look at that ocean? And he wanted waiting out here

1252
01:22:32.359 --> 01:22:35.359
to see her husband ship come in? Might be blown away?

1253
01:22:35.880 --> 01:22:38.920
And what frienders sell? The captain's wife wasn't too anxious

1254
01:22:38.960 --> 01:22:42.000
for her husband to return. That's right. He was too

1255
01:22:42.079 --> 01:22:45.560
busy entertaining her level. How you move the lail?

1256
01:22:46.960 --> 01:22:47.800
Thanks stopped.

1257
01:22:48.640 --> 01:22:54.199
I haven't caught me. I will go What hept? Nothing? Nothing?

1258
01:22:54.279 --> 01:22:55.680
I I don't know.

1259
01:22:55.760 --> 01:23:00.399
I just lost my ballot. Come on, Kim, know each

1260
01:23:00.399 --> 01:23:01.119
other better than that.

1261
01:23:01.800 --> 01:23:02.359
What happened?

1262
01:23:02.760 --> 01:23:07.920
I really don't know, Alex. I'll swear I thought someone

1263
01:23:08.159 --> 01:23:16.880
pushed me. If god, I'm not at all sure I'm

1264
01:23:16.920 --> 01:23:18.880
doing the right thing. And I'll understand if you don't

1265
01:23:18.880 --> 01:23:20.800
want to go through with this. I'll pay all your

1266
01:23:20.920 --> 01:23:25.479
expenses today. And you're concerned about my safety, Yes, real estate,

1267
01:23:25.560 --> 01:23:28.319
the other's important, but not that important this. If flanders,

1268
01:23:28.359 --> 01:23:31.920
you'll have nothing on your conscience till and I will

1269
01:23:32.000 --> 01:23:35.359
spend the night in the house, and by tomorrow the

1270
01:23:35.479 --> 01:23:38.399
ghost should be at rest. And you think there is

1271
01:23:38.479 --> 01:23:41.880
a ghost who? Of course, I just don't believe. And

1272
01:23:42.000 --> 01:23:45.920
it's malevolence. Have you taken care of the wooden logs

1273
01:23:46.000 --> 01:23:48.880
to the fire prisons? A men wouldn't go into the house,

1274
01:23:48.960 --> 01:23:52.319
but you'll find plenty of firewood outside the door. Fine,

1275
01:23:53.239 --> 01:24:03.760
then I'll be on my way. I've never seen viron

1276
01:24:03.800 --> 01:24:07.119
act like, so do you think of us? I've been

1277
01:24:07.199 --> 01:24:09.279
with you in about fifty of these. Ant a house

1278
01:24:09.319 --> 01:24:11.399
for you. If you think there's something different about this one,

1279
01:24:11.840 --> 01:24:18.439
I don't know, but I'm willing to found out. I've

1280
01:24:18.479 --> 01:24:21.199
heard that sort of moan before. According to you, Alex,

1281
01:24:21.279 --> 01:24:26.840
it's the ghost in't pay It is sounds like the

1282
01:24:26.920 --> 01:24:31.359
evening's entertainment is about the start. Tim. Yes, Alex, we

1283
01:24:31.520 --> 01:24:34.079
worked together for a long time and we get along

1284
01:24:34.319 --> 01:24:38.199
so well because I respect your disbelief in the supernatural,

1285
01:24:38.520 --> 01:24:40.720
which is come in handy when I uncovered a few

1286
01:24:40.760 --> 01:24:43.680
tape recorders. Another little tape device, right right, But for

1287
01:24:43.840 --> 01:24:47.520
your own sake, Tim, there's something about this house that

1288
01:24:47.720 --> 01:24:51.119
seems different, though, foes, be careful. Huh, you're trying to

1289
01:24:51.199 --> 01:24:55.199
scare me. I don't think that's part right right now,

1290
01:24:55.359 --> 01:25:00.960
how about some wood for my fire? Whoever you are,

1291
01:25:01.039 --> 01:25:03.239
If you're trying to scare it, it's not gonna work.

1292
01:25:04.680 --> 01:25:07.720
You know. In all the years we've been working together, Alex,

1293
01:25:08.399 --> 01:25:11.039
I get to see your ghosts, but you've heard them. Oh,

1294
01:25:11.199 --> 01:25:13.840
so you tell me you talk with them. I just

1295
01:25:13.960 --> 01:25:18.479
hear noises, and sometimes they're mad made and sometimes not.

1296
01:25:19.039 --> 01:25:26.199
Would you strike a match please? Ah, that's better. Get

1297
01:25:26.279 --> 01:25:28.680
some of the chill off the room. The fireplace is

1298
01:25:28.760 --> 01:25:30.600
always Can you make a room more cheerful?

1299
01:25:31.079 --> 01:25:34.720
The electricity must have been installed around Oh, I guess

1300
01:25:34.760 --> 01:25:35.600
the turn of the century.

1301
01:25:35.920 --> 01:25:39.239
Who I've seen brighter lights. But at least you have

1302
01:25:39.359 --> 01:25:41.720
light and candles? Oh? Did I share mine with you?

1303
01:25:41.880 --> 01:25:43.760
I have a supply back in my room. All right,

1304
01:25:45.039 --> 01:25:51.199
all right, here we go again, spirit rapping. Oh now

1305
01:25:51.239 --> 01:25:56.560
I've made it angry. Listen to me, whoever you are,

1306
01:25:57.960 --> 01:26:01.640
My name is Alex Guy. I would like to help you,

1307
01:26:02.119 --> 01:26:07.720
but I can't unless Huh doesn't want to talk to you. Evidently,

1308
01:26:07.840 --> 01:26:11.439
Alex will see although you're my friend and the lie,

1309
01:26:11.640 --> 01:26:15.039
you are often the disturbing influence. Now I won't deny

1310
01:26:15.199 --> 01:26:17.800
that I'm an unbeliever, so I'll turn in. Now that

1311
01:26:17.880 --> 01:26:20.079
the fire is going, you can go back to your

1312
01:26:20.159 --> 01:26:23.119
side of the room and commune with the spirits and

1313
01:26:23.520 --> 01:26:26.479
with each other. Jim, we'll check with each other as

1314
01:26:26.520 --> 01:26:27.039
we always do.

1315
01:26:35.359 --> 01:26:38.479
Quiet, Virons, It's all right, boy, it's all right.

1316
01:26:40.640 --> 01:26:41.640
I'll trust me.

1317
01:26:42.000 --> 01:26:46.039
Virons. You like your ears up?

1318
01:26:48.359 --> 01:26:50.680
Oh no, you expect me to sleep with all that

1319
01:26:50.840 --> 01:26:53.800
racket going on? As firing goron bananas and I'm trying

1320
01:26:53.880 --> 01:27:01.920
to quiet him, lazy boy eating. It's all over, Kim,

1321
01:27:02.880 --> 01:27:04.720
is there any way? We're gonna get Yron.

1322
01:27:04.479 --> 01:27:04.920
Out of here.

1323
01:27:06.680 --> 01:27:12.439
He's beginning to follow the mouse. He's covered with perspiration. Well,

1324
01:27:12.479 --> 01:27:14.600
I don't want to let him out, now, just get lost.

1325
01:27:14.800 --> 01:27:17.840
He'll get over it when he sees nothing's happening. Hey,

1326
01:27:18.880 --> 01:27:24.319
what a how are yours going? Going?

1327
01:27:25.720 --> 01:27:28.760
Go easy? Bore easy?

1328
01:27:33.359 --> 01:27:37.640
I know you're in trouble. Please let me help you.

1329
01:27:38.880 --> 01:27:43.119
If you will show yourself, I could help you about others.

1330
01:27:43.880 --> 01:27:44.359
Believe me.

1331
01:27:47.000 --> 01:27:52.760
Is your name Lucy? Lucy Endicott? If you are Lucy?

1332
01:27:53.680 --> 01:27:54.680
Would you rap twice?

1333
01:27:56.439 --> 01:27:56.760
Can you.

1334
01:28:01.119 --> 01:28:01.239
Right?

1335
01:28:03.000 --> 01:28:03.159
Who?

1336
01:28:04.800 --> 01:28:09.039
You're frightening? A dumb animal? You're not frightening me. I'm

1337
01:28:09.119 --> 01:28:11.720
sure you don't want to terrify a feat. Have you

1338
01:28:11.760 --> 01:28:12.880
ever see you any harm?

1339
01:28:14.000 --> 01:28:17.039
I wan't come here, Come out of that corner, come

1340
01:28:17.079 --> 01:28:20.279
to me. Come on, come on, Alex.

1341
01:28:20.359 --> 01:28:23.319
The fire going out here? So we go to the candles?

1342
01:28:23.640 --> 01:28:24.560
You fuck the matches?

1343
01:28:24.640 --> 01:28:28.520
I just yeah, I'm fine, but I'm really worried about

1344
01:28:28.560 --> 01:28:31.199
buying off somebody's playing game. I try to find the

1345
01:28:31.239 --> 01:28:35.079
fusee box if I could, But hey, what is it?

1346
01:28:35.920 --> 01:28:39.600
Whoever's at the controls is pretty good? N cold gust

1347
01:28:39.720 --> 01:28:41.920
of wind blew out the match I was using to

1348
01:28:42.000 --> 01:28:44.439
light the candle. Well, I've got a couple of candles lit.

1349
01:28:44.520 --> 01:28:44.960
You want one?

1350
01:28:45.119 --> 01:28:45.279
Oh?

1351
01:28:45.399 --> 01:28:51.439
Those? Thanks? I'm not scared of the dark. A pounding

1352
01:28:51.520 --> 01:28:56.239
that'shen you me? It is the spirit wrappings like someone

1353
01:28:56.319 --> 01:28:58.800
walks in. You want to go down and open the door?

1354
01:28:58.960 --> 01:29:03.479
Oh no, Tad, Hey, Alice, You're side of the road

1355
01:29:03.720 --> 01:29:11.079
is rocking like a boat. I'm ready to light with

1356
01:29:11.239 --> 01:29:21.600
that firon. What happened? I'm not sure he's dead? What

1357
01:29:23.640 --> 01:29:30.359
is Nick? Seems to have been broken? Kim? Did you

1358
01:29:30.399 --> 01:29:32.640
hear me? I said?

1359
01:29:32.680 --> 01:29:37.920
Byron is dead Kim? And you are right other other.

1360
01:29:39.199 --> 01:29:39.720
Kim, Jim?

1361
01:29:39.760 --> 01:29:54.119
Why here is it? Bro don n u h. Each

1362
01:29:54.279 --> 01:29:58.520
man has his own nightmare, something from which he will

1363
01:29:58.600 --> 01:30:04.079
run by the secret whips of his own fears. But

1364
01:30:04.239 --> 01:30:07.000
I suspect that Alex Garth could not tell you what

1365
01:30:07.159 --> 01:30:10.279
it was that Tim Kelly ran from that night in

1366
01:30:10.399 --> 01:30:13.600
the house that faced the thief. He'll be back shortly

1367
01:30:14.079 --> 01:30:29.800
with that too. Alex Garth, authority on the Supernaturals, has

1368
01:30:29.920 --> 01:30:33.359
undertaken to spend the night in a house so demon

1369
01:30:33.479 --> 01:30:37.119
ridden that workmen have even refused to tear it down.

1370
01:30:38.439 --> 01:30:41.960
Deserted by his friend and ally, Tim Kelly, who fled

1371
01:30:42.039 --> 01:30:46.279
in terror from unknown fears, Darth knew that he had

1372
01:30:46.319 --> 01:30:49.199
to face the rest of the night alone. As the

1373
01:30:49.279 --> 01:30:59.319
heavy outer door boomed closed behind Tim Kelly, Will you

1374
01:30:59.439 --> 01:31:03.800
show yourself now? I promise not to run away like

1375
01:31:03.920 --> 01:31:09.039
my friends. You'll never find peace unless you let me

1376
01:31:09.199 --> 01:31:13.239
help you. There can be no rest for you except

1377
01:31:13.439 --> 01:31:19.520
through me. Do you think you're being punished for some

1378
01:31:19.960 --> 01:31:22.319
hot skin you committed when you were alive?

1379
01:31:25.199 --> 01:31:27.239
That isn't you, is it, Luky?

1380
01:31:29.720 --> 01:31:31.159
Please let me help you.

1381
01:31:33.159 --> 01:31:35.000
I will not let you in, and I will not

1382
01:31:35.239 --> 01:31:35.960
leave this house.

1383
01:31:38.159 --> 01:31:39.840
Locking the room doesn't frighten me.

1384
01:31:40.640 --> 01:31:41.359
I'm not afraid.

1385
01:31:43.640 --> 01:31:48.680
You're just conging. We wear the tos collars keep a

1386
01:31:49.000 --> 01:31:50.439
stay of scare you.

1387
01:31:52.479 --> 01:31:56.920
That letter I received a Trinidad tells me that my Lucy,

1388
01:31:57.600 --> 01:32:01.479
my wife, is just carrying on to the room of Alchemist.

1389
01:32:01.600 --> 01:32:12.319
So we're going to drive all hell and the star.

1390
01:32:16.439 --> 01:32:21.680
Nightmares. We've all experienced them, but I venture to say

1391
01:32:21.800 --> 01:32:25.520
that none of us has experienced the horrible sights, shapes,

1392
01:32:25.640 --> 01:32:29.159
and sounds that Alex Garth saw and heard in that

1393
01:32:29.479 --> 01:32:31.680
dark room of the haunted House. For the next hour,

1394
01:32:32.600 --> 01:32:36.439
and when he still held hard to his sanity and

1395
01:32:36.640 --> 01:32:41.239
what remained of his courage, the apparitions changed in character.

1396
01:32:42.520 --> 01:32:43.960
Garth no longer knew what.

1397
01:32:44.159 --> 01:32:48.119
Was real and what was fantasy. He later told me

1398
01:32:48.239 --> 01:32:51.600
that he may even have fallen asleep hard as that

1399
01:32:51.800 --> 01:32:53.760
may be to believe all right.

1400
01:32:55.439 --> 01:32:59.600
As God, Lucy, I am Lucy?

1401
01:33:01.239 --> 01:33:02.800
Am I not there?

1402
01:33:03.279 --> 01:33:03.640
Alex?

1403
01:33:03.800 --> 01:33:04.079
Godd?

1404
01:33:04.920 --> 01:33:05.119
Yes?

1405
01:33:06.000 --> 01:33:13.239
Even beautiful, very beautiful. We do not like to touch me, Alex.

1406
01:33:14.199 --> 01:33:16.239
Even if I wanted to, I could not.

1407
01:33:17.119 --> 01:33:21.159
You think I am cold in things? Repulsive?

1408
01:33:21.960 --> 01:33:23.079
That is what you think.

1409
01:33:24.039 --> 01:33:27.319
John, Tell Alex how nice.

1410
01:33:27.319 --> 01:33:28.279
I am to touch?

1411
01:33:29.199 --> 01:33:29.239
You?

1412
01:33:29.359 --> 01:33:33.359
Are very nice to touch Lucy? Was John your lover?

1413
01:33:34.159 --> 01:33:37.000
You do nothing but ask questions, Alex?

1414
01:33:37.119 --> 01:33:38.840
God, what should I do? Lucy?

1415
01:33:39.680 --> 01:33:42.880
Make me see you once more the touch of a man,

1416
01:33:43.960 --> 01:33:47.039
and then you love in Lucy.

1417
01:33:48.279 --> 01:33:51.960
You're in torment. I can only give you.

1418
01:33:52.039 --> 01:33:57.600
Peace, torment. Why should I be unhappy? I live here

1419
01:33:57.760 --> 01:34:04.199
in my house, and of course we were not in

1420
01:34:04.399 --> 01:34:09.920
John and I. We tried to frighten you, but that

1421
01:34:10.199 --> 01:34:13.439
was only because I don't like strangers in my home.

1422
01:34:14.479 --> 01:34:15.880
Apologize to Alex.

1423
01:34:16.039 --> 01:34:20.079
John, this is a childish game you're playing, Lucy, But

1424
01:34:20.239 --> 01:34:21.560
I ignore games.

1425
01:34:22.079 --> 01:34:25.960
I love things, Johnny dancing, you act with me?

1426
01:34:26.199 --> 01:34:35.880
Alight, be lovely, Ally, I don't dance the menu at Lucy.

1427
01:34:36.479 --> 01:34:38.720
John, you dance business.

1428
01:34:40.000 --> 01:34:45.399
This is how Johnny doesn't he dance to pay out?

1429
01:34:45.720 --> 01:34:49.600
Very beautifully, John, Remember how you.

1430
01:34:49.960 --> 01:34:50.880
Give me that night?

1431
01:34:51.159 --> 01:34:54.720
Yes, that old witch Hannah saw it and wrote the

1432
01:34:54.800 --> 01:34:56.000
letter to your husband.

1433
01:34:57.600 --> 01:34:57.840
John.

1434
01:34:58.520 --> 01:34:59.840
It was much moder.

1435
01:35:01.960 --> 01:35:02.920
That's where you're doing.

1436
01:35:05.800 --> 01:35:08.880
You are no funny, no funny.

1437
01:35:09.119 --> 01:35:13.800
Told John Alex you coming, God's freaky No thank you.

1438
01:35:14.760 --> 01:35:20.800
You are afraid, Alex, Yes, I am afraid, John. You

1439
01:35:20.960 --> 01:35:22.680
heard he is afraid.

1440
01:35:22.920 --> 01:35:26.399
I said I was afraid, Lucy, but not terrified.

1441
01:35:26.840 --> 01:35:30.359
Head o sticks. You play with word Dalix God.

1442
01:35:30.359 --> 01:35:33.399
And you want me to play ghostly games with death,

1443
01:35:33.920 --> 01:35:34.239
don't you?

1444
01:35:34.319 --> 01:35:34.560
Lucy?

1445
01:35:43.640 --> 01:35:47.640
Alex, Alex God, wake up.

1446
01:35:49.079 --> 01:35:49.800
I wasn't asleep.

1447
01:35:50.920 --> 01:35:51.760
You are here to.

1448
01:35:51.920 --> 01:35:53.439
Drive me from my home?

1449
01:35:54.000 --> 01:35:55.560
Are you happy in your home?

1450
01:35:55.680 --> 01:35:55.960
Lucy?

1451
01:35:56.319 --> 01:36:01.840
I will not leave you shall fail have tried. Would

1452
01:36:01.880 --> 01:36:05.119
you like to see what happened to those others? I

1453
01:36:05.399 --> 01:36:08.279
have a mirror you can look into in my room

1454
01:36:09.439 --> 01:36:13.600
just down the hall. Look in that mirror if you dare.

1455
01:36:13.960 --> 01:36:17.039
I think I've been given a fairly good idea.

1456
01:36:17.159 --> 01:36:22.279
Already leave this house, Alex, for your own sake.

1457
01:36:22.439 --> 01:36:24.000
Leaves tomorrow morning.

1458
01:36:24.159 --> 01:36:33.760
Lucy, tomorrow will be too late to sit down at

1459
01:36:33.840 --> 01:36:34.880
his godsen room.

1460
01:36:34.960 --> 01:36:35.880
What dogs being?

1461
01:36:36.840 --> 01:36:37.039
Yeah?

1462
01:36:37.800 --> 01:36:38.960
That's better, isn't it.

1463
01:36:39.279 --> 01:36:40.520

Who moves and blood distig me?

1478
01:37:31.239 --> 01:37:34.640

wish to kiss me, someone.

1480

01:37:52.560 --> 01:37:56.039
Put your hands over your earse, Alex, you will still

1485
01:37:56.199 --> 01:37:58.239
see the blood of lovers kiss.

1486
01:37:58.359 --> 01:38:02.560
No, WI won't witness this horror my thoughts, her mind

1487
01:38:03.560 --> 01:38:06.119
and the real the center.

1488
01:38:06.479 --> 01:38:11.119
You don't exist, or many we don't, but you know

1489
01:38:11.359 --> 01:38:15.000
that we do. We I hear, and we are real.

1490
01:38:15.680 --> 01:38:18.199
And the only way you can banish us from your

1491
01:38:18.399 --> 01:38:21.960
mind die is to run. Who runs as your.

1492
01:38:21.920 --> 01:38:24.880

Us no more, no, no, Lucy, I'm not leaving this house.

1494
01:38:39.119 --> 01:38:42.760
This is the chance bearing me to the burial ground. Allege.

1495
01:38:43.560 --> 01:38:46.520
If you open your eyes you can't see to the coffin.

1496
01:38:47.560 --> 01:38:51.000
One you take, you get a fine job. I looked

1497
01:38:51.680 --> 01:38:52.640
this pretty as I.

1498
01:38:52.720 --> 01:38:57.640
Did before I die. I was wearing dressed you see, Alex.

1499
01:38:57.640 --> 01:39:01.680
And your only one, my father, who wasn't afraid of

1500
01:39:01.800 --> 01:39:06.079
my husband's dress, the only person who didn't believe I was.

1501
01:39:06.119 --> 01:39:09.239
A wanting Do you believe that?

1502
01:39:09.560 --> 01:39:18.039
Yes? You do? Yes, everyone feared Captain Hatch, and you, Lucy,

1503
01:39:19.039 --> 01:39:21.960
most of all. You still hear him?

1504
01:39:22.279 --> 01:39:22.520
You know?

1505
01:39:24.520 --> 01:39:24.720
Oh?

1506
01:39:25.199 --> 01:39:25.880
Why don't you?

1507
01:39:26.119 --> 01:39:26.319
Girl?

1508
01:39:27.000 --> 01:39:27.199
Like you?

1509
01:39:27.439 --> 01:39:33.199
Lucy? I am bound, how bound by my knowledge and

1510
01:39:33.319 --> 01:39:38.560
my pride by knowing If I leave now I failed.

1511
01:39:39.600 --> 01:39:42.920
You have stayed longer than anyone, not long enough.

1512
01:39:43.520 --> 01:39:47.920
You mustn't stay that you have seen it will be

1513
01:39:48.079 --> 01:39:52.680
worse and dangerous for you. Even you are dangerous and.

1514
01:39:52.800 --> 01:39:54.000
You're afraid for me.

1515
01:39:54.520 --> 01:39:57.279
Yes, why you really don't know?

1516
01:39:58.439 --> 01:40:00.800
Of course, not what you're seeing.

1517
01:40:00.960 --> 01:40:01.239
John.

1518
01:40:02.159 --> 01:40:04.680
Have you not noticed that you are very alike?

1519
01:40:05.399 --> 01:40:05.600
Well?

1520
01:40:05.720 --> 01:40:09.560
I really hadn't looked that closely, would you?

1521
01:40:10.319 --> 01:40:10.359
No?

1522
01:40:10.720 --> 01:40:12.680
No, I don't believe you can.

1523
01:40:12.720 --> 01:40:15.479
You must see how dangerous it is for you now.

1524
01:40:16.359 --> 01:40:17.359
Then help me.

1525
01:40:17.880 --> 01:40:18.640
I cannot.

1526
01:40:19.560 --> 01:40:21.880
If you would trust me and tell me what the

1527
01:40:21.960 --> 01:40:24.199
control is, I could help.

1528
01:40:25.000 --> 01:40:29.319
You're very wise, Alex, but this is something beyond your wisdom.

1529
01:40:29.680 --> 01:40:30.039
Try me.

1530
01:40:30.720 --> 01:40:34.479
It's impossible. I am held here by force is stronger

1531
01:40:34.600 --> 01:40:35.119
than yours.

1532
01:40:35.439 --> 01:40:37.199
How do you know what my powers are?

1533
01:40:37.920 --> 01:40:40.760
I told you you are not the first who have

1534
01:40:40.960 --> 01:40:45.199
been here, but you are the greatest in your courage

1535
01:40:46.319 --> 01:40:47.199
will destroy you.

1536
01:40:52.600 --> 01:41:04.680
M Ah, mister Flanders, those there, Kelly, Tim Kelly, where

1537
01:41:04.760 --> 01:41:08.359
are you? Host? Book? What are you doing?

1538
01:41:08.520 --> 01:41:08.760
Matter?

1539
01:41:08.920 --> 01:41:09.159
Ion?

1540
01:41:09.239 --> 01:41:09.720
Apology?

1541
01:41:10.239 --> 01:41:11.479
I owe Alex a lot more than that.

1542
01:41:12.079 --> 01:41:14.359
Mister Flanders. You've got to get Alex out of that house.

1543
01:41:14.760 --> 01:41:15.359
What happened to?

1544
01:41:15.640 --> 01:41:16.439
Just get him out?

1545
01:41:17.920 --> 01:41:21.039
It's four o'clock in the morning. Kelly, you won't we

1546
01:41:21.079 --> 01:41:23.960
have I'm not quite functioning yet. What did you see?

1547
01:41:24.479 --> 01:41:28.079
What's in that house? Sam? I thought you didn't believe

1548
01:41:28.119 --> 01:41:31.760
in ghosts, so I believe in evil and mister Flanders,

1549
01:41:32.319 --> 01:41:35.720
in that house you can actually feel the presence of evil.

1550
01:41:36.359 --> 01:41:41.119
It's all around you and it's dangerous. Now listen, Kelly,

1551
01:41:41.359 --> 01:41:44.039
God knew what he was getting into, except to him

1552
01:41:44.079 --> 01:41:44.479
to handle.

1553
01:41:44.720 --> 01:41:46.479
I tell you, his life at a stake.

1554
01:41:46.960 --> 01:41:48.640
Well, if you're convinced of that, then it's up to

1555
01:41:48.680 --> 01:41:51.279
you to do something about it, not to run away.

1556
01:41:56.800 --> 01:42:00.319
You see a teeny of college. It's guy. You are

1557
01:42:00.399 --> 01:42:01.720
afraid to test them?

1558
01:42:02.039 --> 01:42:04.039
What kind of tests do you propose?

1559
01:42:04.520 --> 01:42:05.000
The nearer?

1560
01:42:06.000 --> 01:42:07.479
The nearer in my room?

1561
01:42:08.000 --> 01:42:10.479
Let's go. Well, come.

1562
01:42:12.680 --> 01:42:14.079
More than you, Alex Gott.

1563
01:42:14.279 --> 01:42:15.399
Oh wait a second.

1564
01:42:18.960 --> 01:42:20.840
Your death machine will not help you.

1565
01:42:21.079 --> 01:42:25.039
That machine? Oh you mean the revolver cal it's.

1566
01:42:24.920 --> 01:42:25.520
What you like.

1567
01:42:26.119 --> 01:42:29.439
It spits firing noise and has been used stupidly by

1568
01:42:29.560 --> 01:42:34.439
stupid people against us. Sure you no better, Alex Gott.

1569
01:42:34.600 --> 01:42:37.439
Will give me something to hold on to.

1570
01:42:38.439 --> 01:42:41.199
Come on, you could try to hold on to me.

1571
01:42:42.720 --> 01:42:45.800
This is your room you fear to go in.

1572
01:42:46.960 --> 01:42:49.399
Oh I'm wondering what it is about this room that

1573
01:42:51.239 --> 01:42:53.479
this is the room to run out of?

1574
01:42:53.720 --> 01:42:54.000
Isn't it?

1575
01:42:54.760 --> 01:42:59.960
The nere is over here? Now? Look nearer, Alex Gritch,

1576
01:43:00.920 --> 01:43:04.319
Look grass who how it's gone?

1577
01:43:05.760 --> 01:43:07.560
Is that you listen?

1578
01:43:11.680 --> 01:43:14.520
And your schoolmates? Who are they?

1579
01:43:15.399 --> 01:43:16.119
Schoolmates?

1580
01:43:17.560 --> 01:43:18.640
Is John among them?

1581
01:43:19.039 --> 01:43:21.600
Look? Look in the mirror.

1582
01:43:22.600 --> 01:43:29.000
I I can't make out the faces. Now you're grown, I.

1583
01:43:30.560 --> 01:43:30.840
Can't.

1584
01:43:32.119 --> 01:43:35.119
Oh no, no.

1585
01:43:42.600 --> 01:43:44.159
Mirror, mirror on the wall.

1586
01:43:45.279 --> 01:43:48.680
What did the hunter of ghosts? Alex Garth see in

1587
01:43:48.760 --> 01:43:51.800
the mirror that so terrified him he lost his head

1588
01:43:51.840 --> 01:43:55.239
and shot at the images in the glass. I'll be

1589
01:43:55.319 --> 01:43:58.720
back shortly to tell you what Garth saw when I

1590
01:43:58.800 --> 01:44:16.960
returned with a free Some people believe in ghosts, some

1591
01:44:17.239 --> 01:44:21.000
very thoughtful people. There are others who say, if you

1592
01:44:21.119 --> 01:44:25.840
believe in ghosts, you will see ghosts. And Alex Garth,

1593
01:44:26.479 --> 01:44:30.439
expert on the supernatural, is not only seeing but talking

1594
01:44:30.640 --> 01:44:34.399
to ghosts, has experienced and as who a ghost hunter

1595
01:44:34.479 --> 01:44:38.560
as Alex Garth, has just committed the childish act of

1596
01:44:38.720 --> 01:44:43.640
firing his revolver into a mirror, shattering the glass into

1597
01:44:43.720 --> 01:44:47.760
a million pieces, and doing the same to his composure.

1598
01:44:48.199 --> 01:44:53.680
Stupid, stupid, stupid. Taking the mirror isn't going to change anything,

1599
01:44:53.840 --> 01:44:54.800
Alex gart.

1600
01:44:55.279 --> 01:44:58.359
The only thing you can do is these I'm not

1601
01:44:58.800 --> 01:45:01.039
leaving Lucy until dawn.

1602
01:45:01.600 --> 01:45:05.520
You say, your mind becomes a mirror, a mirror for

1603
01:45:05.680 --> 01:45:07.960
all the things you don't want to look at it.

1604
01:45:08.039 --> 01:45:10.239
Well, if I have to look, I will.

1605
01:45:10.680 --> 01:45:15.079
I'm farewell, Alex Gott. You and I will see each other,

1606
01:45:15.840 --> 01:45:19.840
but we can no longer talk until you join us.

1607
01:45:19.960 --> 01:45:24.159
To join you you are doing, you will join John

1608
01:45:24.239 --> 01:45:29.399
and here in my home for all eternity, and God

1609
01:45:29.720 --> 01:45:33.880
help you, Alex God, because I no longer can.

1610
01:45:36.279 --> 01:45:45.520
Lucy, Lucy, Lucy, my darling, my lover, I must go now, No, see.

1611
01:45:45.479 --> 01:45:48.720
Stay a little longer, Just a little longer, dear heart.

1612
01:45:49.199 --> 01:45:50.640
Why did you marry Lucy?

1613
01:45:51.680 --> 01:45:52.359
Way doing?

1614
01:45:52.600 --> 01:45:53.000
My love?

1615
01:45:53.560 --> 01:45:54.079
He left?

1616
01:45:54.239 --> 01:45:55.399
He never said a word?

1617
01:45:55.520 --> 01:45:56.039
How could I?

1618
01:45:56.159 --> 01:45:59.439
Lucy? You know I did not tell me you could

1619
01:45:59.520 --> 01:46:01.159
have to knew nothing.

1620
01:46:01.119 --> 01:46:03.880
And knew that he knew it all the time we

1621
01:46:03.960 --> 01:46:04.680
were growing up.

1622
01:46:05.199 --> 01:46:09.720
Sometimes when people grow up, they changed, John, And I

1623
01:46:09.880 --> 01:46:11.880
was afraid you no longer cared for me.

1624
01:46:12.880 --> 01:46:14.399
That's why you married the captain.

1625
01:46:15.000 --> 01:46:16.880
I didn't want to be an old maid.

1626
01:46:18.359 --> 01:46:19.520
There was no chance of that.

1627
01:46:19.760 --> 01:46:23.000
There was afraid there was a free John.

1628
01:46:23.520 --> 01:46:30.239
He was so strong, John, I'm going to have a child.

1629
01:46:31.760 --> 01:46:34.079
What I was going to have a baby?

1630
01:46:34.239 --> 01:46:34.520
John?

1631
01:46:35.119 --> 01:46:35.960
You were a baby?

1632
01:46:36.239 --> 01:46:37.800
You're sure?

1633
01:46:37.960 --> 01:46:38.640
I ain't sure.

1634
01:46:38.920 --> 01:46:39.840
Then we have to leave.

1635
01:46:40.279 --> 01:46:42.239
You must come away with me, Lucy.

1636
01:46:42.479 --> 01:46:45.920
Free We go west to a new place for a

1637
01:46:46.039 --> 01:46:48.319
fresh start, somewhere where.

1638
01:46:48.560 --> 01:46:49.560
F one can't find it.

1639
01:46:50.000 --> 01:46:55.760
There is no such play, of course, Lucy, you know what.

1640
01:46:55.840 --> 01:46:58.920
Will happen if Epam discovers that if won't.

1641
01:46:58.760 --> 01:47:02.439
Be hung for it, least he was eating had the last.

1642
01:47:02.239 --> 01:47:07.159
Time going down?

1643
01:47:07.720 --> 01:47:09.960
No, what do we do?

1644
01:47:10.600 --> 01:47:10.720
Hi?

1645
01:47:13.199 --> 01:47:14.199
Anywhere? Quick?

1646
01:47:14.880 --> 01:47:20.960
There in my wardrobe, behind my gun, coming up from just.

1647
01:47:21.000 --> 01:47:21.880
Getting your robe.

1648
01:47:23.600 --> 01:47:25.279
Don't be wasting your time here.

1649
01:47:25.840 --> 01:47:31.720
It's been forward since I've seen your life. All right, Lucy?

1650
01:47:32.760 --> 01:47:36.159
Where is he who John Rogers? Your lover?

1651
01:47:36.640 --> 01:47:36.960
Thank you?

1652
01:47:37.119 --> 01:47:37.359
Good?

1653
01:47:37.520 --> 01:47:37.720
Mad?

1654
01:47:37.800 --> 01:47:37.920
Yes?

1655
01:47:38.399 --> 01:47:38.600
Kay?

1656
01:47:39.119 --> 01:47:44.720
Maybe mad with jealousy. Stop lying and telling me where he.

1657
01:47:46.640 --> 01:47:46.680
Y.

1658
01:47:47.520 --> 01:47:50.279
I'll be hurting you a lot more unless you tell

1659
01:47:50.319 --> 01:47:50.880
me where he is.

1660
01:47:51.840 --> 01:47:56.680
With those skillful I into your again the word Old

1661
01:47:56.880 --> 01:48:01.039
Davies said, he beneath.

1662
01:48:00.720 --> 01:48:04.239
It, Oh gossip, tell me she lies terribly.

1663
01:48:09.319 --> 01:48:14.319
I lie there and sniffl whilst I rassed out your

1664
01:48:14.439 --> 01:48:15.079
fancy man.

1665
01:48:15.199 --> 01:48:16.920
For wherever he's cowering.

1666
01:48:19.039 --> 01:48:21.399
From God is my witness.

1667
01:48:22.079 --> 01:48:22.520
He don't.

1668
01:48:23.920 --> 01:48:24.640
He can't hear.

1669
01:48:25.479 --> 01:48:26.119
For your sake.

1670
01:48:26.159 --> 01:48:26.800
I hope you're right.

1671
01:48:27.600 --> 01:48:30.039
But the widow told me she saw him sneaking into

1672
01:48:30.119 --> 01:48:30.760
the house tonight.

1673
01:48:31.159 --> 01:48:33.039
He lies, he lies?

1674
01:48:33.279 --> 01:48:38.319
Maybe you know? Oh about your wardrobe?

1675
01:48:40.239 --> 01:48:43.000
Call you with child?

1676
01:48:43.399 --> 01:48:50.079
Get up on your feet, child from your child?

1677
01:48:51.840 --> 01:48:55.000
You think I'll have my wife carrying another man's child.

1678
01:48:55.640 --> 01:49:01.560
No killing you, jo, liar sheet.

1679
01:49:04.760 --> 01:49:08.760
He's here, the man who'll got you a child? Then

1680
01:49:08.920 --> 01:49:12.520
come here and stop me. Come on, no, you know

1681
01:49:12.640 --> 01:49:13.960
I can't do that, can't.

1682
01:49:14.680 --> 01:49:15.560
I mean you won't.

1683
01:49:15.680 --> 01:49:16.680
You know as well as I do.

1684
01:49:17.319 --> 01:49:20.279
I've never had anything to do with your wife that did.

1685
01:49:20.359 --> 01:49:23.199
You know very well who I am, what I'm trying

1686
01:49:23.239 --> 01:49:24.399
to do here, and do it.

1687
01:49:25.279 --> 01:49:30.039
I'll match my blade against your pistol anytime. Captain John

1688
01:49:31.199 --> 01:49:36.479
so yet came out at last? Did you now tell

1689
01:49:36.560 --> 01:49:38.800
me how pa to steal a.

1690
01:49:44.199 --> 01:49:44.399
Yeah?

1691
01:49:45.159 --> 01:49:49.600
Have another drink, cass. You know they needed slenders. There

1692
01:49:49.720 --> 01:49:53.439
isn't enough liquor in the world that wore be not,

1693
01:49:53.600 --> 01:49:56.119
that's sure what I saw it, yes, said it is

1694
01:49:56.199 --> 01:50:02.159
hearted by ghosts beyond anything in my Can it help me?

1695
01:50:02.960 --> 01:50:08.079
I hope? So I'm not sure. I managed to stay

1696
01:50:08.159 --> 01:50:13.239
the night, and I barely managed to survive in one

1697
01:50:13.359 --> 01:50:16.439
room in the house. It seems to be the focal

1698
01:50:16.600 --> 01:50:20.800
point of all the manifestations. That's the room I believe

1699
01:50:20.960 --> 01:50:25.520
was occupied by Captain Hatch's young wife, Lucy. That's the

1700
01:50:25.680 --> 01:50:29.520
room from which Tim ran last night. And that's the

1701
01:50:29.640 --> 01:50:34.279
room in which I saw things no man should ever

1702
01:50:34.399 --> 01:50:38.760
have to see. And you're proposed to hire some work

1703
01:50:38.920 --> 01:50:41.439
that's impossible. I told you what happened when I had work.

1704
01:50:41.520 --> 01:50:44.199
I can understand why no workmen come around this area.

1705
01:50:44.279 --> 01:50:47.159
Will go near the place. I intend to import a

1706
01:50:47.239 --> 01:50:51.359
couple of men I've used before. One you're gutired, But

1707
01:50:52.840 --> 01:50:55.279
how would you want him to do? To dig into

1708
01:50:55.680 --> 01:50:58.800
and around that room and see if we can find

1709
01:50:58.960 --> 01:51:03.920
something that will counsel the holdings. We love you and

1710
01:51:04.039 --> 01:51:08.079
I will be with our correction. I hired you. God,

1711
01:51:08.760 --> 01:51:19.920
you'll be with him and report back to me. I'm famish,

1712
01:51:20.439 --> 01:51:23.439
is always cares. I'm calling you, my dier. Just down

1713
01:51:23.479 --> 01:51:26.439
the rest of the house with good news, with news.

1714
01:51:27.239 --> 01:51:31.239
My workmen walked up. Well that's sad.

1715
01:51:32.000 --> 01:51:35.119
If you want that house cleansed, I.

1716
01:51:35.199 --> 01:51:37.479
Asked, if you meet me there in half an hour.

1717
01:51:38.399 --> 01:51:39.279
Well why do you need me?

1718
01:51:39.439 --> 01:51:40.439
Well for two reasons.

1719
01:51:40.840 --> 01:51:43.600
One I don't know what may have to be done

1720
01:51:43.600 --> 01:51:48.039
to the house, which is your property. And two I

1721
01:51:48.159 --> 01:51:50.960
don't think one man can do all the necessary digging

1722
01:51:51.119 --> 01:52:01.520
that may have to be done. Oh that's what you

1723
01:52:01.600 --> 01:52:04.520
mean about this wrong you. We'll try not to think

1724
01:52:04.560 --> 01:52:07.239
about this house or the stories about it. Just just

1725
01:52:07.520 --> 01:52:11.239
hand me that hammer. With a hammer, the wre to

1726
01:52:11.439 --> 01:52:17.560
test these walls, floors. There's a secret passage or some

1727
01:52:17.720 --> 01:52:20.000
nonfense like that. Well, I don't know what there is,

1728
01:52:20.119 --> 01:52:23.520
but there must be something. You'll have to take my

1729
01:52:23.640 --> 01:52:25.960
word for it. And what goes on in this house

1730
01:52:26.239 --> 01:52:30.760
isn't an ordinary lost or restless spirit seeking solace. It's

1731
01:52:30.880 --> 01:52:37.680
something that's planned and controlled. How That's what I hope

1732
01:52:37.720 --> 01:52:45.840
to find out. Ah, here you found something, I think,

1733
01:52:45.920 --> 01:52:52.920
so listen that sounds hollow is and the further down

1734
01:52:53.039 --> 01:52:58.640
you go towards the floor, the hollower a town hand

1735
01:52:58.640 --> 01:53:02.920
me that krewber uh, may day we should let things be,

1736
01:53:03.199 --> 01:53:05.319
not if you want to rid the house of the ghosts,

1737
01:53:05.880 --> 01:53:10.760
or what will we find? Lord knows? Here goes?

1738
01:53:13.039 --> 01:53:14.000
And what?

1739
01:53:14.479 --> 01:53:17.479
Wait? Can't you have leus for that?

1740
01:53:18.319 --> 01:53:18.880
You're scared?

1741
01:53:19.800 --> 01:53:21.399
And I think I feel better, But I set that

1742
01:53:21.600 --> 01:53:27.920
tide be over in a minute. I don't think I'm

1743
01:53:27.920 --> 01:53:29.600
gonna be able to stand there this thing?

1744
01:53:29.720 --> 01:53:30.239
Something else?

1745
01:53:31.239 --> 01:53:34.119
You get a party?

1746
01:53:34.920 --> 01:53:35.119
I can.

1747
01:53:36.000 --> 01:53:39.239
I can only think of the sea and the storm

1748
01:53:40.399 --> 01:53:46.520
and the ship got it and a woman by this

1749
01:53:47.279 --> 01:53:48.079
hold on to me, hang on.

1750
01:53:48.800 --> 01:53:51.520
Look, look there's nothing down there but a room.

1751
01:53:51.600 --> 01:53:52.079
I look.

1752
01:53:52.239 --> 01:53:52.960
Look for yourself.

1753
01:53:54.880 --> 01:53:59.119
God, that is a profie. Why do I want to

1754
01:53:59.199 --> 01:54:03.399
run there? Accepts? Come on? No, you want me to

1755
01:54:03.439 --> 01:54:04.119
put down the mine.

1756
01:54:04.159 --> 01:54:05.279
It's only an empty room.

1757
01:54:06.079 --> 01:54:07.119
I'm not for sure, it said.

1758
01:54:07.239 --> 01:54:10.439
Come on, you said, you.

1759
01:54:10.479 --> 01:54:18.960
Know what's that? It's a table. There's something on it.

1760
01:54:19.399 --> 01:54:19.680
I know.

1761
01:54:21.279 --> 01:54:28.560
Let's see is there? It's just a plain saucer. The

1762
01:54:28.640 --> 01:54:34.000
o the saucer's playing. But look what's in it? What

1763
01:54:34.119 --> 01:54:37.479
does that stuff? Well, I'm not sure, but it looks

1764
01:54:37.560 --> 01:54:40.600
to me like there's something like mercury.

1765
01:54:41.840 --> 01:54:43.000
I bet there's mercury in it.

1766
01:54:44.000 --> 01:54:45.960
You won't have to have an analyze what's that on

1767
01:54:46.079 --> 01:54:49.039
top of it? But need will look at it? Spend

1768
01:54:49.319 --> 01:54:53.920
I see, But don't you see anything else? Now we'll

1769
01:54:54.039 --> 01:54:57.119
look under the saucer looks like a slip of paper,

1770
01:54:57.159 --> 01:55:01.680
and it does. Indeed, let's have a look at it

1771
01:55:01.800 --> 01:55:07.199
if I can get it out without disturbing there. We

1772
01:55:07.359 --> 01:55:16.039
are just running on of the same as moves this needle,

1773
01:55:16.399 --> 01:55:20.720
so moves my will A cursed be this house and

1774
01:55:20.960 --> 01:55:25.560
all well they're in. See to it that they find

1775
01:55:25.920 --> 01:55:30.960
neither rest nor tranquility, but be doomed to eternal agony

1776
01:55:31.159 --> 01:55:36.000
and torment beyond the canon of man and woman, to

1777
01:55:36.119 --> 01:55:41.039
which I affix my seal and signature Ephraim hatch Master,

1778
01:55:41.279 --> 01:55:44.720

before I can't believe it. The ladder quickly. I'might behind you.

1783
01:56:19.399 --> 01:56:21.720
How do you say thanks to a man who saved

1784
01:56:21.760 --> 01:56:22.199
your life?

1785
01:56:22.920 --> 01:56:23.199
Bout it?

1786
01:56:24.239 --> 01:56:26.199
You wouldn't have been down there in the first place

1787
01:56:26.279 --> 01:56:29.560
if I hadn't been fifty. I owe it to you

1788
01:56:29.840 --> 01:56:36.760
to get you out there. Yah, I want to explain

1789
01:56:36.800 --> 01:56:42.640
about my upsetting the sorcery. I wouldn't say this to anyone, accept.

1790
01:56:42.399 --> 01:56:42.680
You, but.

1791
01:56:44.600 --> 01:56:51.920
I swear that's something pushed my hand. Do you believe that? Yes, well,

1792
01:56:52.399 --> 01:56:53.079
I believe it.

1793
01:56:56.199 --> 01:56:56.239
Is.

1794
01:56:56.399 --> 01:56:59.920
Now your house is cleans the fire.

1795
01:57:00.159 --> 01:57:00.720
Go see that.

1796
01:57:08.319 --> 01:57:11.560
For those of you who are skeptical about the existence

1797
01:57:11.640 --> 01:57:16.640
of such things as ghosts, I have a suggestion. Find

1798
01:57:16.720 --> 01:57:20.439
a house reputed to be haunted and spend the night

1799
01:57:20.600 --> 01:57:25.279
there and then let me know about it. I'll be

1800
01:57:25.359 --> 01:57:29.760
back shortly. Alex Garth is still an avid investigator of

1801
01:57:29.880 --> 01:57:30.680
the supernatural.

1802
01:57:31.680 --> 01:57:33.600
However, he has a curious.

1803
01:57:33.279 --> 01:57:37.039
Reluctance to tell people about what he saw during the

1804
01:57:37.199 --> 01:57:40.159
night He spent in that house on the New Etan coast,

1805
01:57:41.119 --> 01:57:44.760
and he never admits that. Many times in the dead

1806
01:57:44.800 --> 01:57:49.760
of night he sees again the face of Lucy, a lover,

1807
01:57:50.600 --> 01:57:54.399
and the terrible sword of Captain Ephraim Hatch, and he

1808
01:57:54.520 --> 01:58:00.359
awakens with his mouth open in a soundless scream. Our

1809
01:58:00.520 --> 01:58:05.880
cast included William Prince, Ralph Bell, Joan Tyson, William Redkil

1810
01:58:06.479 --> 01:58:10.199
and Gil Mack. The entire production was under the direction

1811
01:58:10.399 --> 01:58:16.079
of Hymond Brown. And now a preview of our next tale.

1812
01:58:18.439 --> 01:58:21.239
Are you saying the legend is true as Millie as

1813
01:58:21.279 --> 01:58:24.319
of fendant of the East Goddess and is being punished.

1814
01:58:24.439 --> 01:58:27.680
I don't know what I'm saying, but look at her.

1815
01:58:28.239 --> 01:58:31.600
She's flushed, breathing rapidly. She could burst through that sedative

1816
01:58:31.680 --> 01:58:36.319
any minute. The hy child to rest, Darling, I'm going

1817

Sellar range together. Look at the roof, Look at her room.

1819
01:58:48.359 --> 01:58:52.560
Something bonnit I said time. It's the shape of that

1820
01:58:52.720 --> 01:58:55.560
place with Evin that you're imagine has its Look.

Do you see that simple if.

1822
01:58:57.600 --> 01:59:01.399
