00:00:09.119 --> 00:00:12.960
Well, hello, I was just thinking about you, believe it
2
00:00:13.080 --> 00:00:17.239
or not, hoping you'd visit me tonight because I have
3
00:00:17.280 --> 00:00:20.679
a story that you might identify.
4
00:00:20.920 --> 00:00:21.000
NI.
5
00:00:22.239 --> 00:00:29.160
You see, while I set the states, while I get
6
00:00:29.160 --> 00:00:33.280
the fireplace going, while I make the tea and fluff
7
00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:40.640
the pillows, you, the listeners, arrived with an open mind
8
00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:46.000
and an open heart, which I'm very grateful for you.
9
00:00:47.240 --> 00:00:54.280
So tonight's story is the listener listens, and I hope
10
00:00:54.320 --> 00:00:57.159
you enjoy it as much as you enjoy your time
11
00:00:58.240 --> 00:01:03.079
late at night with me with me, because I certainly
12
00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:08.799
do so. Please get comfortable. The tea is steepest and
13
00:01:08.920 --> 00:01:12.959
almost ready, and it's nice and wise by the fire.
14
00:01:28.079 --> 00:01:32.200
We're inning friends that the ceaking dore. This is your
15
00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:36.159
host to welcome you in the Enna Sanctu. Now for
16
00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:42.319
another visit with your favorite character. We're back again with
17
00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:48.200
a familiar subject, murder. Ever want to find out how
18
00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:54.959
scared you can get? Well, I suppose you hang around
19
00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:59.840
for a while and when the show's over, i'll cut you.
20
00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:08.080
Mm hmm.
21
00:02:11.240 --> 00:02:15.680
All right, Suppose we get down the brass tacks, and
22
00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:18.199
I do mean the ones that go around the edge
23
00:02:18.280 --> 00:02:23.120
of a coffin in a tiny cottage lost in a.
24
00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:25.360
Wild, desolate section of rural New England.
25
00:02:26.159 --> 00:02:32.840
Ellen Richards sits in his chair listen, approaching sixty, white haired,
26
00:02:33.479 --> 00:02:35.919
with eyes that dance nervously in the firelight.
27
00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:37.479
She listens.
28
00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:41.759
She hears the winds weeping and moaning, grim heralds of
29
00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:42.400
the bleak.
30
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:52.719
Windows, but she listens coming out, good.
31
00:02:55.439 --> 00:03:09.719
Didd you nosing. I don't sni.
32
00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:11.639
It's just because I'm alone.
33
00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:19.439
You will do this to me if I went alone.
34
00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:22.960
Hello operator, Hello.
35
00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:24.879
What's the matter with you?
36
00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:25.919
Hello? Operator?
37
00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:28.599
I want you during my nephew, Leslie Richard, tell him
38
00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:32.759

39
00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:34.000
what the matter with you?
40
00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:35.080
Don't you understand?
41
00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:35.800
You must hurry?
42
00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:36.759
Thank your mind.
43
00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:37.719
What number do you.
44
00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:38.280
Wish to call?
45
00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:39.039
Number?
46
00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:42.000
Number of hes in town somewhere.
47
00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:43.879
To the depot. Call him it's the depot.
48
00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:45.719
Oh, don't you understand?
49
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:48.199
I had the booth so pro.
50
00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:52.400
And the king my husband.
51
00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:55.800
He's telling about the cellar ship, my ship, and he's
52
00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:58.319
been gad for five here and.
53
00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:01.960
Now he's on the landing and now he's opening the door.
54
00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:13.080
You darling, darling boy, you you and not the.
55
00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:17.839
Other understand your boy? You must give me. I'm hysterical.
56
00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:21.720
That's be patiently, I'll be all right in a minute.
57
00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:22.800
What's wrong? What happens?
58
00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:26.800
Let me hold your hands. Oh, just knowing that you're
59
00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:28.240
here makes me feel better.
60
00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:31.480
Already I thought i'd go out of my mind.
61
00:04:32.759 --> 00:04:34.759
Now if you'll only tell me wait a moment.
62
00:04:36.920 --> 00:04:38.600
Do you hear anything?
63
00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:43.959
Just the wind, that's all. That's all.
64
00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:46.360
Oh, Leslie, you mustn't.
65
00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:47.439
Leave me alone ever again.
66
00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:49.079
I think you can't bear.
67
00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:49.519
Her to be alone.
68
00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:51.720
But I just drove to the station to get miss Morrow.
69
00:04:51.920 --> 00:04:52.240
Darling.
70
00:04:52.279 --> 00:04:54.519
You're in a terrible said you really must do.
71
00:04:55.839 --> 00:05:00.839
I'll be all right, hys missus No, she.
72
00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:02.519
Went through the side entrance in her room.
73
00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:07.000
I guess I think I'm going to discharge that girl. Why, Oh,
74
00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:07.480
I don't so.
75
00:05:07.800 --> 00:05:12.279
I see she doesn't belong here. I don't like strangers about.
76
00:05:12.519 --> 00:05:14.240
Really, you're being silly.
77
00:05:14.279 --> 00:05:16.439
You can't bear being alone, and now you want to
78
00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:17.680
discharge your companion.
79
00:05:17.879 --> 00:05:19.519
Well, you're here now.
80
00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:22.000
But I can't be with you all the time, Leslie.
81
00:05:22.040 --> 00:05:24.680
But you almost never leave the house, and someone must go.
82
00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:26.360
Out to get things done once in a while.
83
00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:26.600
Oh.
84
00:05:28.040 --> 00:05:29.360
Yes, I suppose you're.
85
00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:31.319
Right, and it won't do you a bit of harm.
86
00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:33.519
To go out once in a while too, the movies
87
00:05:33.560 --> 00:05:34.199
in town.
88
00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:35.319
Or maybe New York for the theater.
89
00:05:35.399 --> 00:05:37.879
No, no, no, Ellen, don't you dare.
90
00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:38.600
Suggest that again?
91
00:05:38.839 --> 00:05:41.680
You but never suggest that again. You're here?
92
00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:44.519
But why why must you stay here, locked up in
93
00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:45.000
this house?
94
00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:52.519
Because because ever since my husband disappeared, I vowed, Oh
95
00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:54.920
what she wouldn't understand?
96
00:05:55.439 --> 00:05:56.240
I think I would.
97
00:05:56.240 --> 00:05:59.759
Oh no, no, you're young and handsome and charming, and.
98
00:05:59.720 --> 00:06:00.959
There's no oh you was troubling you.
99
00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:01.920
It's all that.
100
00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:09.959
I feel ever so much better already. No, dear Leslie,
101
00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:12.079
you don't know what you've done for me.
102
00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:15.879
Really, it was horrible living here with just tomorrow until
103
00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:19.480
you were sweet enough to come and stay with a poor,
104
00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:20.800
lonely old lady.
105
00:06:22.439 --> 00:06:24.360
I know it must be trying for yours.
106
00:06:24.439 --> 00:06:27.120
It's really lots of fun. I'm having a fine time.
107
00:06:27.519 --> 00:06:29.519
And that talk of your being an old lady is
108
00:06:29.560 --> 00:06:32.399
just nonsense. Why if Uncle Gregory were here and could
109
00:06:32.439 --> 00:06:34.120
see you now, he'd fall in love and.
110
00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:37.680
Marry you all over again. Why do you say that
111
00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:39.279
just to make you laugh?
112
00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:45.879
Oh you're very flattering.
113
00:06:47.160 --> 00:06:51.319
Laugh. You won't go away.
114
00:06:51.319 --> 00:06:52.680
Ever, will you?
115
00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:53.759
Quite an ide?
116
00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:56.759
You are my only living relatives.
117
00:06:57.399 --> 00:07:00.120
I'll remember your kindness when I'm gone.
118
00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:03.759
You'll be wealthy, very wealthy here.
119
00:07:04.040 --> 00:07:06.839
Now, what kind of talk is this when you are gone? Indeed,
120
00:07:07.040 --> 00:07:10.160
why we're going to have grand times here forever and hour.
121
00:07:10.680 --> 00:07:11.600
Now you go to.
122
00:07:11.560 --> 00:07:13.959
Bed and sleep away all that foolishly.
123
00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:17.279
And here's a kid for a pleasant dream.
124
00:07:21.079 --> 00:07:25.959
So silly boy, super nightsmorrow forby.
125
00:07:26.680 --> 00:07:28.000
I'm too tired to wait.
126
00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:38.720
You're night, Barbra, Baba, don't tell me about it, don't
127
00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:41.199
say anything, Just just kiss me and hold me.
128
00:07:41.279 --> 00:07:48.279
T oh dear, oh, listeners. I could hardly bring myself
129
00:07:48.279 --> 00:07:52.079
to come back here tonight. She's so hateful and cruel, Barbara.
130
00:07:52.439 --> 00:07:53.920
You may hear you, sorry, but.
131
00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:56.319
How much more of this do you think I can stand?
132
00:07:57.120 --> 00:08:00.279
This? Hustle drives mad as she is, Please, dearest.
133
00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:03.600
All right, all right, don't seem so senseless.
134
00:08:04.600 --> 00:08:05.480
You say you love me.
135
00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:07.839
You know I haven't any money, but I'll get some.
136
00:08:08.079 --> 00:08:09.759
I'll get a great deal. And as soon as I do,
137
00:08:10.000 --> 00:08:13.959
I want to know, it's win win tonight.
138
00:08:14.560 --> 00:08:38.559
Perhaps Gregory, no, no, got away, love me nothing one lesson?
139
00:08:40.600 --> 00:08:42.399
I heard second?
140
00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:47.000
Listen do you hear it?
141
00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:49.039
Oh?
142
00:08:49.120 --> 00:08:52.120
I say, Helen, I'm not the only one.
143
00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:57.399
What is it Gregory? I know it.
144
00:08:57.519 --> 00:08:59.840
That's the way he used to walk around the house chat.
145
00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:03.519
But I know I said did this fare while I
146
00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:08.200
was alone? He's come back somehow, oh Leslie?
147
00:09:08.440 --> 00:09:10.120
Come and why should he do this?
148
00:09:10.200 --> 00:09:12.559
If Uncle Gregory come back, why he'd come right in
149
00:09:12.600 --> 00:09:13.240
the front door.
150
00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:16.720
Don't you see he can't he's in dead these five
151
00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:18.960
years dead?
152
00:09:21.679 --> 00:09:25.080
He told me. I know.
153
00:09:25.240 --> 00:09:31.679
I didn't want to shock you, Oh Leslie?
154
00:09:32.080 --> 00:09:33.919
How much can I trust?
155
00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:38.759
You? Trust me? Why? And you know there isn't anything
156
00:09:38.799 --> 00:09:41.559
I wouldn't do for ye?
157
00:09:44.840 --> 00:09:48.039
Where is it coming from?
158
00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:50.600
Give me my robe? But I don't see why you
159
00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:51.399
must get out of bed.
160
00:09:51.519 --> 00:09:52.480
I must know about this.
161
00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:54.000
I can't leave this house, Leslie.
162
00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:54.399
And the food.
163
00:09:54.759 --> 00:09:56.320
I can't you believe it? You can sell it and
164
00:09:56.360 --> 00:09:56.759
go away.
165
00:09:56.799 --> 00:09:57.759
You don't understand.
166
00:09:59.120 --> 00:10:01.879
Yes, the any room we're going in there, I'm not
167
00:10:01.919 --> 00:10:03.080
afraid to say anything.
168
00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:10.000
If you're with me, I'll come very well. See anything.
169
00:10:10.759 --> 00:10:14.080
There's nothing in the car, but I can see it.
170
00:10:15.039 --> 00:10:15.759
It's closer.
171
00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:21.000
There's a living room, not a soul there? So why
172
00:10:21.000 --> 00:10:22.360
do you pick up that fireplace iron?
173
00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:23.240
In a moment?
174
00:10:23.840 --> 00:10:27.240
Can you move the piano up? Rides are pretty heavy?
175
00:10:27.279 --> 00:10:30.799
But I think I can do it there.
176
00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:33.240
We got a little shovel from the fireplace.
177
00:10:34.399 --> 00:10:37.080
I say, I don't understand. What are you doing there?
178
00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:39.679
What is it some kind of secret trap door on
179
00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:40.039
the floor.
180
00:10:40.039 --> 00:10:41.279
You're trying to move that iron?
181
00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:43.639
Yes, it's over here.
182
00:10:43.720 --> 00:10:49.240
Let me do it, all right, I think I haven't now.
183
00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:56.320
There's any but dirt under there. Use the shovels very well.
184
00:10:57.759 --> 00:10:58.240
I don't know.
185
00:11:02.759 --> 00:11:03.840
That's stopped.
186
00:11:04.799 --> 00:11:13.159
Yes, wye, Perhaps this is why, perhaps he wanted me
187
00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:14.440
to find his body.
188
00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:17.440
He's still there.
189
00:11:18.360 --> 00:11:23.559
Look, so that's why you never left his heart?
190
00:11:23.639 --> 00:11:29.039
Isn't he was lying here all this time, lying here
191
00:11:29.080 --> 00:11:33.399
where you buried him after you murdered him.
192
00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:34.320
Isn't that so?
193
00:11:39.159 --> 00:11:45.159
Now? Who is bleeding? Lie? Oh? Yeah, Auntie Ellen, the
194
00:11:45.240 --> 00:11:48.279
old darling, just had her nephew dig up her husband
195
00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:51.440
from under the floor. If you think she kept him
196
00:11:51.440 --> 00:11:55.879
there to make him stay home night, you're wrong. He'd
197
00:11:55.919 --> 00:11:59.639
been murdered, and Auntie Ellen's nephew just acute.
198
00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:07.279
Yes, yes, I killed him, Leslie, you mustn't tell anybody.
199
00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:08.480
I know you won't tell.
200
00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:11.240
Oh, it's been horrible.
201
00:12:10.759 --> 00:12:13.679
Living all these years with him right in the same house.
202
00:12:14.159 --> 00:12:15.240
I could never leave.
203
00:12:15.360 --> 00:12:18.720
Someone might find him, you see, and every time I
204
00:12:18.759 --> 00:12:19.919
heard a noise in the house.
205
00:12:20.519 --> 00:12:22.559
Oh, it was frightful, I should think.
206
00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:24.320
So that's why I sent for you.
207
00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:26.080
I couldn't bear it alone.
208
00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:29.399
Now you know my secrets and you will help me,
209
00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:32.960
of course, Dear Leslie, I know.
210
00:12:32.960 --> 00:12:33.559
You will and.
211
00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:43.799
Won't you borrow? Don't get hurting. Come in, Barbara. I've
212
00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:49.279
heard everything, missus Richard, and I know everything. You know.
213
00:12:51.919 --> 00:12:54.320
You and Leslie, it.
214
00:12:54.519 --> 00:12:56.320
Was you who made those noises.
215
00:12:56.399 --> 00:12:57.120
That catting.
216
00:12:57.200 --> 00:12:59.320
It didn't start until after you came.
217
00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:02.759
Horrid boy fight?
218
00:13:02.960 --> 00:13:03.279
Did you?
219
00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:06.240
How could you do this to me after everything I've
220
00:13:06.279 --> 00:13:06.879
done for you.
221
00:13:06.919 --> 00:13:08.519
I thought you loved me.
222
00:13:08.639 --> 00:13:17.399
I thought it down. I will know it, I said, father,
223
00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:18.840
get a check book.
224
00:13:18.919 --> 00:13:20.480
Okay, what are you going to.
225
00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:24.759
Do, dear? And you are going to write a check
226
00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:26.519
for fifty thousand dollars?
227
00:13:27.120 --> 00:13:28.360
Are you for me?
228
00:13:29.159 --> 00:13:30.440
The book and a pen?
229
00:13:31.360 --> 00:13:32.200
I see it all.
230
00:13:32.360 --> 00:13:36.080
Now, what a fool I've been taking the.
231
00:13:36.159 --> 00:13:38.480
Two of you into my home and now you do
232
00:13:38.639 --> 00:13:39.200
this to me.
233
00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:40.240
Just to get my money.
234
00:13:40.360 --> 00:13:41.960
You killed him for that money.
235
00:13:42.000 --> 00:13:43.080
You have no right to talk.
236
00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:45.679
You made him do this, tsy the good boy.
237
00:13:45.799 --> 00:13:48.159
You found out about this, and you put him.
238
00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:48.440
Up to it.
239
00:13:49.039 --> 00:13:51.279
I'm going to call the police.
240
00:13:51.320 --> 00:13:55.399
You're a murderer. And Ellen, you won't call any police.
241
00:13:56.240 --> 00:13:59.960
In fact, you'll tell no one and you'll write that check.
242
00:14:00.879 --> 00:14:04.519
No listening.
243
00:14:06.600 --> 00:14:12.240
Yes, M still quite right. I'm not in a very
244
00:14:12.320 --> 00:14:16.399
good position, am I.
245
00:14:15.240 --> 00:14:32.960
You please listen it after I trusted you, after I.
246
00:14:27.159 --> 00:14:27.639
I don't know.
247
00:14:28.519 --> 00:14:34.399
She got sut up and collapsed, Addie Annie Ellen she did.
248
00:14:34.879 --> 00:14:39.320
Oh, she's still really paralyzed. It as the boy father,
249
00:14:39.480 --> 00:14:41.159
call her doctor. I fixed that floor and pushed the
250
00:14:41.159 --> 00:14:43.960
piano back. Absolutely, she will say a word.
251
00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:47.240
And if she does tell about the check, who will believe?
252
00:14:47.440 --> 00:14:50.399
It'll be our word against the murders, my Barbara. We've
253
00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:52.720
got to get her well enough to write that check.
254
00:14:59.279 --> 00:15:02.240
This is Richard. If you can understand what I'm saying,
255
00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:04.000
blink your eyes.
256
00:15:06.200 --> 00:15:09.480
Ah, thank you well doctor Walsh.
257
00:15:09.960 --> 00:15:12.919
Well, I can't give you a final opinion yet, young man.
258
00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:15.200
She seems to know what we are saying.
259
00:15:16.200 --> 00:15:20.039
Stroke psibly, We won't know until I can take some
260
00:15:20.200 --> 00:15:24.039
X rays. It may be simple hysterical paralysis.
261
00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:24.639
Doctor.
262
00:15:26.279 --> 00:15:30.320
I'd like to know if if there's any danger danger,
263
00:15:31.240 --> 00:15:35.320
yes and no. Patients have sometimes lived for years after
264
00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:39.080
a stroke. I'm going to call in a specialist for consultation,
265
00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:41.639
and that I'll be back in the morning with X
266
00:15:41.720 --> 00:15:45.440
ray equipment. Or meanwhile, don't move her from that chair.
267
00:15:45.679 --> 00:15:48.559
Yes, doctor watsh He was very kind of you to
268
00:15:48.600 --> 00:15:49.320
come so quickly.
269
00:15:49.679 --> 00:15:52.559
Missus Richards is an old friend of mine. Call me
270
00:15:52.639 --> 00:15:54.960
at once if she seems to get work, I certainly will.
271
00:15:55.559 --> 00:16:04.759
Good night? Allright? Luck is that just when we had hell? Look,
272
00:16:06.080 --> 00:16:07.240
she seems to be smiling.
273
00:16:07.320 --> 00:16:10.399
Let's be careful. She can understand everything is said.
274
00:16:10.639 --> 00:16:13.600
I know and letter letter.
275
00:16:14.840 --> 00:16:16.360
You won't get away with it, Auntie.
276
00:16:17.399 --> 00:16:19.720
We still have you. You know the will?
277
00:16:19.840 --> 00:16:22.960
You forgot about that will. You can't make a new
278
00:16:23.000 --> 00:16:24.879
one now you can't write.
279
00:16:25.080 --> 00:16:29.919
And we know your secret. Yes, Annie, we still have you. Knowleslie,
280
00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:33.960
she has us. What are you talking? We heard what
281
00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:35.440
the doctor said. It may be years.
282
00:16:35.519 --> 00:16:36.159
We can wait?
283
00:16:36.159 --> 00:16:38.600
Can we wait here taking care of her?
284
00:16:38.639 --> 00:16:39.840
Waiting for her to die?
285
00:16:40.559 --> 00:16:41.759
You imagine what that will be like?
286
00:16:42.840 --> 00:16:43.559
Maybe you can wait?
287
00:16:43.600 --> 00:16:47.440
I can't, Bobbie, what's the uselesslie? Waited all this time?
288
00:16:47.440 --> 00:16:49.840
And you see what happened. We're worse off than we
289
00:16:49.879 --> 00:16:50.360
will before.
290
00:16:50.519 --> 00:16:50.840
Bobbie.
291
00:16:50.840 --> 00:16:52.919
You mustn't lose your head. There may be something we
292
00:16:52.960 --> 00:16:53.200
can do.
293
00:16:53.360 --> 00:16:54.240
What can we do?
294
00:16:55.200 --> 00:17:04.319
We can? Yes, he got away with it. Why can't we? Yes,
295
00:17:05.640 --> 00:17:07.519
I've even thought of a plan, have you.
296
00:17:07.799 --> 00:17:10.200
We can both be away, far away from here in
297
00:17:10.240 --> 00:17:10.880
South America.
298
00:17:10.960 --> 00:17:13.519
Pad When this house can catch fire.
299
00:17:13.759 --> 00:17:17.720
An invalid unable to move, it can be arranged, you know, yes, yes.
300
00:17:17.680 --> 00:17:18.559
It can be arranged.
301
00:17:19.480 --> 00:17:20.799
But are you sure of this will?
302
00:17:20.880 --> 00:17:22.839
Certainly she told me about it a dozen times.
303
00:17:22.839 --> 00:17:23.559
Have you seen it?
304
00:17:23.759 --> 00:17:23.839
No?
305
00:17:23.960 --> 00:17:25.880
But I know you can't believe what she tells you.
306
00:17:25.880 --> 00:17:27.960
You better look, you must be sure.
307
00:17:27.759 --> 00:17:28.160
Of all this.
308
00:17:28.440 --> 00:17:29.119
You're quite right.
309
00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:32.599
I'm almost certain the will is in our room.
310
00:17:32.880 --> 00:17:38.240
I'll find it. You'll see that. I'm right.
311
00:17:40.039 --> 00:17:41.799
You say something, Missus Richards.
312
00:17:43.240 --> 00:17:44.440
I thought I heard you say something.
313
00:17:46.400 --> 00:17:50.960
Why you're looking at me that way, Missus.
314
00:17:50.720 --> 00:17:51.960
Richards, I'm not afraid.
315
00:17:53.359 --> 00:17:55.799
I don't care if you heard everything. I'm not afraid
316
00:17:55.839 --> 00:17:59.559
of you anymore, you and your orders.
317
00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:02.519
Nothing I did was ever good enough for you.
318
00:18:02.720 --> 00:18:05.000
Wasn't always telling.
319
00:18:04.799 --> 00:18:08.319
Me I was too common, too cheap for you. Well
320
00:18:08.359 --> 00:18:10.039
I found out what you were tonight.
321
00:18:12.000 --> 00:18:13.640
Stop your staring at me.
322
00:18:15.880 --> 00:18:17.160
Want I know something, Missus Richard.
323
00:18:18.319 --> 00:18:21.480
He didn't figure this out himself. I was the one
324
00:18:21.480 --> 00:18:22.400
who was smart enough for that.
325
00:18:23.799 --> 00:18:25.160
I kept wondering why.
326
00:18:24.960 --> 00:18:29.039
You never left this house while your husband disappeared.
327
00:18:30.319 --> 00:18:31.319
And I told Leslie.
328
00:18:33.079 --> 00:18:34.359
He stopped me.
329
00:18:36.039 --> 00:18:36.799
And I heard your scream.
330
00:18:36.920 --> 00:18:40.720
Huh, that's nothing, nothing at all.
331
00:18:41.480 --> 00:18:43.720
Have you found it? No, not yet, but it's around somewhere.
332
00:18:43.720 --> 00:18:44.400
I'm sure of it.
333
00:18:44.759 --> 00:18:48.000
Do you wonder? No, No, I'll find it in a minute, I'm.
334
00:18:47.839 --> 00:18:52.200
Sure, Miss Richard.
335
00:18:53.720 --> 00:18:54.240
Good chair.
336
00:18:56.119 --> 00:18:57.079
The chair is moved.
337
00:18:58.839 --> 00:19:00.440
He moved it while my back was turned while I
338
00:19:00.480 --> 00:19:01.119
was talking directly.
339
00:19:01.160 --> 00:19:01.559
Didn't you?
340
00:19:02.920 --> 00:19:08.160
Didn't you and I from the fire place there a
341
00:19:08.240 --> 00:19:08.680
minute ago?
342
00:19:10.160 --> 00:19:10.920
Did you take it?
343
00:19:12.200 --> 00:19:12.519
Did you?
344
00:19:13.720 --> 00:19:21.519
No? Rip? No? Why I found it?
345
00:19:21.640 --> 00:19:22.039
She left me?
346
00:19:22.039 --> 00:19:27.559
He bob, what happened to you? Andy?
347
00:19:27.559 --> 00:19:27.799
Ellen?
348
00:19:27.799 --> 00:19:28.279
Where are you?
349
00:19:28.519 --> 00:19:30.559
I'm standing behind you, Leslie?
350
00:19:30.759 --> 00:19:30.799
What?
351
00:19:31.119 --> 00:19:31.759
Don't move?
352
00:19:32.160 --> 00:19:32.839
What? Father?
353
00:19:33.079 --> 00:19:34.200
She's dead?
354
00:19:35.119 --> 00:19:35.759
I killed her.
355
00:19:36.799 --> 00:19:38.720
I have the end I an here in my hand.
356
00:19:39.039 --> 00:19:39.680
Don't move.
357
00:19:40.519 --> 00:19:43.440
Please stay on your knees, just where you.
358
00:19:43.359 --> 00:19:46.119
Are, very well if you wish.
359
00:19:46.400 --> 00:19:49.119
But you were very anxious to find out what happened
360
00:19:49.160 --> 00:19:52.480
to my husband. Now you shall know everything.
361
00:19:53.799 --> 00:19:57.000
In fact, you shall know precisely because the same thing
362
00:19:57.240 --> 00:20:00.440
is going to happen to you.
363
00:20:00.440 --> 00:20:03.400
You see, I used this very same instrument, this poker.
364
00:20:05.000 --> 00:20:07.880
You and she will share his grave.
365
00:20:09.039 --> 00:20:13.279
It's an awesome, silly joking. You can't do this to me.
366
00:20:14.039 --> 00:20:15.079
You know that I love you.
367
00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:19.240
Don't move, don't see I take put that thing down.
368
00:20:19.279 --> 00:20:20.720
You don't know what you're doing. Don't.
369
00:20:23.440 --> 00:20:35.079
Oh, I'm sorry to disturb you, Doctor Walsh. This is
370
00:20:35.079 --> 00:20:36.200
Ellen Richards.
371
00:20:36.400 --> 00:20:38.519
Ellen Richards, I knew.
372
00:20:38.279 --> 00:20:40.920
You'd be surprised, but I fully recovered.
373
00:20:41.279 --> 00:20:44.440
You were quite right. But you thought it was hysterical paralysis.
374
00:20:44.440 --> 00:20:47.839
Well I thought so all along, but naturally I wouldn't
375
00:20:47.920 --> 00:20:50.000
venture an opinion without an expert.
376
00:20:50.079 --> 00:20:52.519
But why did it happen?
377
00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:54.480
Oh, it was a silly thing, I suppose.
378
00:20:54.559 --> 00:20:56.920
But my nephew Leslie told me he was going to
379
00:20:56.960 --> 00:20:57.839
marry Miss Morrow.
380
00:20:58.279 --> 00:21:00.200
In fact, they planned to look and.
381
00:21:00.640 --> 00:21:02.559
That was the shock that brought it off.
382
00:21:02.720 --> 00:21:06.400
Yes, doctor Walsh, I suppose I let myself care for
383
00:21:06.559 --> 00:21:07.519
my nephew more.
384
00:21:07.400 --> 00:21:09.559
Than I should. Yes, and so I understand.
385
00:21:09.640 --> 00:21:11.079
But I'm quite over it now.
386
00:21:11.200 --> 00:21:14.440
I sent them on with my blessing. They drove into
387
00:21:14.440 --> 00:21:16.799
New York and they're sailing for South America.
388
00:21:16.400 --> 00:21:17.319
In a few days.
389
00:21:17.480 --> 00:21:20.119
So you needn't come tomorrow evening, all.
390
00:21:20.039 --> 00:21:23.319
Right, Ellen, But your nerves must be in bad shape.
391
00:21:23.640 --> 00:21:25.200
You better let me give you a checkout.
392
00:21:25.680 --> 00:21:28.920
Really well, doctor, I'll come to your house the day
393
00:21:28.920 --> 00:21:29.720
after tomorrow.
394
00:21:30.240 --> 00:21:31.559
Good night, good night.
395
00:21:33.119 --> 00:21:42.440
Oh there, Ellen, let's complete my checkup.
396
00:21:42.720 --> 00:21:43.960
And what's the verdict.
397
00:21:44.519 --> 00:21:47.759
You've got a constitution like iron. You live to at
398
00:21:47.839 --> 00:21:51.359
least one hundred and ten. Oh but Ellen, you have
399
00:21:51.480 --> 00:21:52.519
to get out of your house.
400
00:21:52.640 --> 00:21:57.000
No, now, don't go into that again, doctor Walsh. When
401
00:21:57.039 --> 00:21:59.680
Gregory disappeared, I made up my mind I would never
402
00:21:59.799 --> 00:22:01.559
leave that. I mean to stick to that.
403
00:22:01.720 --> 00:22:03.519
Now, that's not what I meant.
404
00:22:03.599 --> 00:22:03.839
Ellen.
405
00:22:04.039 --> 00:22:05.759
Haven't you heard the news?
406
00:22:06.279 --> 00:22:07.440
What news?
407
00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:08.680
The new super highway.
408
00:22:08.720 --> 00:22:11.640
It's going to be built right through your property. Your
409
00:22:11.720 --> 00:22:14.240
house is dead center of the roadway. They'll have to
410
00:22:14.319 --> 00:22:14.880
rip it down.
411
00:22:16.440 --> 00:22:18.839
Well, they can't do it. I won't let them.
412
00:22:19.440 --> 00:22:22.559
No reason to be alarmed. You realize a handsome profit
413
00:22:22.640 --> 00:22:23.440
for your property.
414
00:22:24.359 --> 00:22:26.000
When will these people be around?
415
00:22:26.880 --> 00:22:27.640
When are they coming?
416
00:22:28.079 --> 00:22:30.720
Why the surveyors are in the neighborhood now they may
417
00:22:30.759 --> 00:22:33.759
be calling at your house today to examine the property
418
00:22:33.759 --> 00:22:35.160
and make an estimate of its value.
419
00:22:35.200 --> 00:22:38.240
To do it, but I must get back to the
420
00:22:38.240 --> 00:22:41.079
house immediately. I don't want it to come when I'm
421
00:22:41.079 --> 00:22:43.279
not there.
422
00:22:44.440 --> 00:22:52.799
Hell, yes, yes, one moment. It's for you Ellen for me?
423
00:22:54.279 --> 00:22:54.799
Who is it?
424
00:22:55.359 --> 00:22:55.559
Why?
425
00:22:56.440 --> 00:23:00.599
I believe the man said the state police. But what
426
00:23:00.640 --> 00:23:02.279
could they possibly want with you?
427
00:23:02.480 --> 00:23:09.039
Ellen, Adie.
428
00:23:09.039 --> 00:23:14.079
Ellen's relatives and friends are now all Stone called dead
429
00:23:14.160 --> 00:23:18.839
in the parlor. She bashed nobody's head but her husband's,
430
00:23:18.839 --> 00:23:25.880
her nephews, and his girlfriend. And we leave this electric
431
00:23:26.000 --> 00:23:31.119
personality while she's on her way to becoming a short circuit.
432
00:23:34.119 --> 00:23:37.559
Of course, we don't want to alarm you, but crimes
433
00:23:37.680 --> 00:23:42.640
like these don't happen except to people like you and you.
434
00:23:44.119 --> 00:23:44.680
But not you.
435
00:23:46.880 --> 00:23:49.720
Well, friends, it's time once again to close.
436
00:23:49.440 --> 00:23:50.359
That creaking door.
437
00:23:51.440 --> 00:23:53.680
And the next week at the same time, when we'll
438
00:23:53.680 --> 00:23:58.640
be back with a little hunk of horror, you'll.
439
00:23:58.400 --> 00:23:59.440
Be sure to lessen, don't you.
440
00:24:00.799 --> 00:24:03.839
Until next week, I'm good night.
441
00:24:05.799 --> 00:24:07.920
Pleasant dream.
442
00:25:00.559 --> 00:25:02.759
In a sanctum has come to you through the worldwide
443
00:25:02.799 --> 00:25:06.839
facilities of the United States Armed Forces Radio and Television Service.
444
00:25:10.960 --> 00:25:14.319
Oh well, I think that was a pretty fun one
445
00:25:14.359 --> 00:25:17.599
if you ask me. Of course you didn't, but not
446
00:25:17.680 --> 00:25:21.839
that you wouldn't. What's that? Oh no, no, no, don't
447
00:25:21.839 --> 00:25:24.240
you worry about that at all. It always gets this cold,
448
00:25:24.799 --> 00:25:28.920
this late at night. But everything will be fun. Besides,
449
00:25:29.799 --> 00:25:34.319
the night is growing weird. Soon the sun will come
450
00:25:34.400 --> 00:25:37.119
up and I'll need to go back to wherever it
451
00:25:37.200 --> 00:25:41.359
is I come from, and you to your beautiful home
452
00:25:42.240 --> 00:25:48.680
and your big warm bed. Doesn't that sound nice? Snuggling
453
00:25:48.720 --> 00:25:52.200
your head into a pillon, feeling warmth all around you,
454
00:25:52.920 --> 00:25:59.480
closing your eyes. Someone else in here with me. I
455
00:25:59.519 --> 00:26:03.799
can't move, I don't know what's happening. Where am I am?
456
00:26:04.000 --> 00:26:09.519
Who am I? Doesn't that sound nice? So go enjoy
457
00:26:09.599 --> 00:26:14.200
your night and remember be thankful for what you have.
458
00:26:15.240 --> 00:26:17.279
I'll see you tomorrow morning.
