00:00:09.359 --> 00:00:15.640
Well, so nice to have you
back yet again. You know, I'm

2
00:00:15.679 --> 00:00:23.079
surprised every week when I'm still here. But as they say, when life

3
00:00:23.160 --> 00:00:31.199
is good, hello, it is
a very creative use of the term life.

4
00:00:31.559 --> 00:00:36.439
When life is good, it's best
not to ask questions or what's that?

5
00:00:36.759 --> 00:00:38.640
Oh no, no, no,
no, no no. Not a

6
00:00:38.679 --> 00:00:42.000
care in the world, not a
care in the world. Please please get

7
00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:47.240
by the fire warm up. I
know it's getting very cold where you are,

8
00:00:47.759 --> 00:00:52.280
and it's always cold here tonight.
I have one I want to share

9
00:00:52.359 --> 00:01:00.039
because well, sometimes I miss the
way things used to be, really miss

10
00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:11.159
the sea, the ocean, ocean
water, and not just the water in

11
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:15.599
a hot cup of tea which is
brewing right now. So this story is

12
00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:23.159
about a lost ship, ship something

13
00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:30.879
chill. Yes, yes, and
now a tail well calculated to keep you

14
00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:40.560
in suspense in a moment. Act

15
00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:51.400
as suspence by Irwin lewis just shout
of the hand hand be canful, don't

18
00:02:09.400 --> 00:02:15.039
siren, doesn't it Shut up loving
this. I think you're right. Maybe

19
00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:17.719
it's a plea could if we lost
some hours? I don't know, but

20
00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:21.840
it's getting older. Got a chance. We got to get off the slain

21
00:02:21.919 --> 00:02:25.080
road fast. Yeah, that looks
like a cut off across the desert.

22
00:02:25.439 --> 00:02:44.280
It isn't much of a road to
chi hang on. I can't take much

23
00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:46.639
more of it. We can't cut
back those please might be patrolling the highway.

24
00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:51.400
We'll wait until dark. Can't you
slow down? Up? I'm getting

25
00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:53.520
sho is no longer, honey.
I want to put it much business between

26
00:02:53.639 --> 00:03:00.199
us to the highway, if possible. What happened? I don't know.

27
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:09.599
Take a look? What is it? Rocket spring? What do we do

28
00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:15.919
now? We can't stay here?
Grab the bag and let's go where we're

29
00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:17.759
on a road of some sort.
It's got to leave someplace. Let's try

30
00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:21.199
those two. What about this?
Can't leave it in the car. This

31
00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:24.879
little bag is all the luggage we
need. Good, it'll do without here.

32
00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:28.560
Where there's a road, there's found
to be a house of people.

33
00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:38.800
What's in this bag talks any language? So I let's go. You can't

34
00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:46.000
walk anything. I ain't hurry to
be killing me all right? Here?

35
00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:51.199
Set on my jacket, get it
all dirty? So what we'll buy a

36
00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:55.759
thousand jackets once we hit the border? Sit on? Who did we leave?

37
00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:01.919
What? So that sounds like a
coyote? Don't worry about it,

38
00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:12.360
don't go hysterical. Sure I am
down to my shirt. There's fifty thousand

39
00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:15.919
arguments in this little bag of poof. We're not Crazy've been the rest of

40
00:04:15.919 --> 00:04:18.720
our lives running. Once we get
to Mexico was stop running? We were

41
00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:23.360
leaving out home, my friend,
everything and everybody we know. Is it

42
00:04:23.480 --> 00:04:27.120
worth it? What are we giving
on a sinking two room flat with peeling

43
00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:31.000
paint and crawling roaches? This big? You won't miss that for a minute.

44
00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:35.759
You think I enjoyed standing on that
teller's cage handing out money all day

45
00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:40.480
long the little people who had no
more right to it than I did.

46
00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:45.319
Don't go maral on me. Listen, I'm past forty. Man gets to

47
00:04:45.399 --> 00:04:48.040
that age he gets tired wanting things
and not being able to afford him.

48
00:04:48.439 --> 00:04:54.759
Hey you got smoke? Okay,
over to the right between those two hills.

49
00:04:55.319 --> 00:04:58.680
Sure it is, that's chimney smoke. I'll bet there's a house up

50
00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:14.399
there. Come on, Viola,
well, vote kind off the tourist trailing.

51
00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:18.600
We we were wondering. No sense
wandering outside. Come in, come

52
00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:27.560
in, make yourself uncomfortable. Yay, car broke down? Why say that?

53
00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:31.720
Well, nobody'd walk here if they
could ride. And take a look

54
00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:39.160
at your shoes, lady, I'll

00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:33.079
I'll give your hand of the dishes. Oh, don't bother, ma'am.

77
00:07:33.240 --> 00:07:38.399
Won't take more in a minute.
I'd like to get that cheap and

78
00:07:38.519 --> 00:07:42.160
take off right now. I couldn't
do that. It's a nice old man.

79
00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:46.040
I don't like spending all right.
Yeah, let me know when you

80
00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:50.720
folks is ready to hit the hay. I bumped down the shedding back.

81
00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:55.800
Oh no, we wouldn't think of
putting into such trouble. Or don't worry

82
00:07:55.839 --> 00:08:03.079
about it, ma'am. I can't
sleep anywhere anytime besides that bed ain't much

83
00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:07.000
softer in the floor. Don't you
have a get lonely living here by yourself?

84
00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:13.360
No? No, I like it
like this, Just mean the hills.

85
00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:18.800
I spent here in thirty years prospecting
for gold, didn't find much.

86
00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:22.959
But now so I can buy a
little food and the few other things they

87
00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:28.600
need every now and then, So
why look for more now? Most folks

88
00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:35.279
dream about a pot of gold at
the end of the rainbow. Well,

89
00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:39.559
I got that too, waiting for
me over the hills and the desert out

90
00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:43.679
there. I guess that's what you
call a great beyond. Oh shucks,

91
00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:48.399
No, I don't mean when I'm
dead. I'm talking about a real pot

92
00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:52.320
of gold, bigger than anything you
ever seen or dreamed of, probably in

93
00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:56.759
the desert. I don't understand what
is in the desert. A ship,

94
00:08:56.799 --> 00:09:03.519
ma'am, A great spanning g and
it rides the sand dunes of the desert

95
00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:07.840
like it was sailing the seas again, A ship of the desert. That's

96
00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:13.039
impossible. I'll tell you how it
was. Son. There's a legend that

97
00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:16.080
one hundreds of years ago, a
Spanish ship from sailing up the Gulf of

98
00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:22.279
California, having come from Mexico,
or Peru, or one of their mothers

99
00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:26.919
South American places. And as it
was sailing up right close to shore,

100
00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:33.159
a huge storm come along, followed
by a tremendous tidal wave which swept it

101
00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:37.399
clean onto the desert. Must have
been the granddaddy of all waves. I

102
00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:43.320
reckon well. After many years,
the waters went back, leaving the ship

103
00:09:43.519 --> 00:09:48.720
high and dry miles from the gulf
or the river that feeds into it.

104
00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:52.600
In a couple of hundred years,
the shift and sands of berriage at the

105
00:09:52.720 --> 00:10:01.200
course, or sometimes when the wind
blows up just right, blows away a

106
00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:05.039
lot of the same. And you
can see the upper deck of that old

107
00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:09.960
ship from the top of that hill
just over there. According to the legend

108
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:15.080
too, the whole of that ship
is just jam full of treasure. What

109
00:10:15.240 --> 00:10:20.840
a lovely story, A pretty fairy
tap for children and old men. That's

110
00:10:22.039 --> 00:10:26.480
all right, ma'am, Of course
he's right. But it is pretty fairy

111
00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:45.440
tale. Just so happens, this
fairy tale is true. What what is

112
00:10:45.480 --> 00:10:48.159
it? By all? Want to
show you something? What are you so

113
00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:52.480
excited about? I'm thinking of things
in the cabin. Answer you that I

114
00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:58.559
found these, of course, yes, But what kind gold calling? Look

115
00:10:58.559 --> 00:11:03.440
at the words on them on the
Oh come Spanish? Doesn't it looks?

116
00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:13.360
How old they are? I see
there's a day one seems some like them

117
00:11:13.519 --> 00:11:18.840
an exhibit. They're Spanish to blows
world Peachem. Don't you remember his sorry

118
00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:22.519
last night? But the Spanish gallion
don't bear diculous? All right? How

119
00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:37.759
do you explain them? I can't. I know it's impossible. Yeah,

120
00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:41.559
what's that sun? My wife fonds
these in the cabin. Where did they

121
00:11:41.559 --> 00:11:46.080
come from? Oh? Them things? I reckon they come from the ship.

122
00:11:46.159 --> 00:11:50.200
But me, well, some years
ago, a young fella comes staggering

123
00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:54.360
in from the deader. He was
pretty bad, cheap and had food and

124
00:11:54.440 --> 00:12:00.080
water for days. Seemed like I
tried to fix him up, but he

125
00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:05.399
he was too far gone. But
before he died he moaned something about finding

126
00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:09.240
the ship out in the desert.
I found them coined in his pocket.

127
00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:13.000
I don't believe what you said.
You're the crazy, the biggest liar I've

128
00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:20.080
ever behaved. Son. If you're
all fired skeptical, why why don't you

129
00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:24.480
climb that hill and take a look
for yourself. The wind seems to be

130
00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:28.600
coming up kind of strong. You
might be lucky. In fact, I

131
00:12:28.759 --> 00:12:33.799
got an old pair of field glasses
you can take along. But son,

132
00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:39.279
if you do see the ship,
for your own sake, don't let it

133
00:12:39.399 --> 00:12:54.559
give you any fool ideas. I
can't find them over to the time here,

134
00:12:54.840 --> 00:13:03.519
grab my hands, I just you
war amit? It not that right

135
00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:07.200
here? I can't see a thing
with the wind blowing stand in my face.

136
00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:11.120
I got a very to see a
dotttery old man tells us a fairy

137
00:13:11.159 --> 00:13:16.480
tale. We buy it. Yeah. All we gets about troubles is out

138
00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:20.000
of lune, is full of desert. Why did I let you talk me

139
00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:24.960
in? Its climbing up here?
Look at my dress? Wait a minute,

140
00:13:26.919 --> 00:13:31.240
I mean the wind is dying.
Now take a look through these glasses.

141
00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:35.759
Yeah, I still can't see a
blasted thing but sand and sage.

142
00:13:35.799 --> 00:13:41.559
Bruther, did you see something?
Tell for sure? I get a better

143
00:13:41.639 --> 00:13:48.000
focus. Yeah, Pora, Why
is it? Harry? I don't believe

144
00:13:48.039 --> 00:13:52.799
it, Harry. I see a
poking mask and a part of a hot

145
00:13:52.919 --> 00:13:56.240
buried in the sand. Fyola,
The old man was right. The reason

146
00:13:56.279 --> 00:14:05.519
ship out there in the desert.
Well, I kind of thought you might

147
00:14:05.639 --> 00:14:09.240
see it. I haven't seen it
myself. And a spell figured there's about

148
00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:13.159
time for it. To show up
again, just like you started with things

149
00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:16.360
you want to there all this time, and that you never want to look

150
00:14:16.440 --> 00:14:20.679
for, or like a tour you
sign water for because of the gold.

151
00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:24.919
Alright, you do what you want. I'm going after that ship on all

152
00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:28.879
that ain't sensible? Son? Why
not? I could see it clearly.

153
00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:31.679
It isn't far from here. Distances
are just even in the desert. That

154
00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:37.519
ships a lot further than it looks. And that's mighty rough country out there.

155
00:14:37.759 --> 00:14:39.919
It's easy to get lost, and
if you run out of water,

156
00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:45.879
you're finished. And chances are by
the time you got the where you think

157
00:14:45.960 --> 00:14:48.960
the ship is, a sandstorm will
come up and bury it under tons of

158
00:14:50.120 --> 00:14:52.279
sand. Again. You better forget
it. Not out of your life.

159
00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:56.639
You're jeep and equipped with sand tire
that has gas, water tools. That's

160
00:14:56.679 --> 00:15:00.919
all I need, ma'am. I
assure it. Think it ain't smart?

161
00:15:01.720 --> 00:15:03.879
You want to try to talk him
out of it. It is too dangerous.

162
00:15:03.879 --> 00:15:07.720
It's a danger because Pete can't get
up enough energy to drive a few

163
00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:11.720
hundreds into the desert to make a
fortune. What about the other man who

164
00:15:11.799 --> 00:15:16.440
found the ship and died. I
don't know anything about him, and I

165
00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:20.279
don't care. There's gold in that
ship. I'm going to get it.

166
00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:22.879
But why we have enough? Now? You said so yourself. How can

167
00:15:22.919 --> 00:15:26.919
you compare fifty thousand of what could
be in that ship? And the goal

168
00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:30.120
is probably the only part of it. Those old Spanish guyans used to come

169
00:15:30.159 --> 00:15:33.840
home with their holes posing with ink
and mind treasure. Why God, by

170
00:15:33.919 --> 00:15:37.200
all, we can be rich.
We can be rich. We can make

171
00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:39.120
a deal with the bike, return
to fifty thousand and go scott free,

172
00:15:39.240 --> 00:15:43.399
and you'd be risking your life.
It's worth it. I've taken the chief.

173
00:15:43.559 --> 00:15:46.440
You'll see. I'll be back before
night. I've seen what the desert

174
00:15:46.519 --> 00:15:50.759
does to people who know it's done. A tender like you ain't gonna care

175
00:15:50.919 --> 00:15:54.799
by for the advice people. I'm
going no har anyway. Listening to please

176
00:15:56.159 --> 00:16:00.559
your wife? Right son? You
ain't thinking clear? At least wait until

177
00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:03.120
you can get a well organized party
together. We've got time. I get

178
00:16:03.200 --> 00:16:07.000
out of my way, Pep.
I can't let you go home down you

179
00:16:07.159 --> 00:16:18.480
You will never combine out of my
wife where you go. Come on now,

180
00:16:18.559 --> 00:16:23.159
it can't be much work. The
rear wheels are stuck in the sand.

181
00:16:23.879 --> 00:16:33.559
Maybe I can slip something underneath oh
sunny straw. Yeah, the wheel

182
00:16:33.720 --> 00:16:37.080
was dug at something nice little hole. Well, there's a shovel and the

183
00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:41.039
cheap I jam it up against the
tire. Maybe I here it is.

184
00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:47.720
H If I just say, well, what's over that ridge looks like some

185
00:16:47.840 --> 00:16:52.039
sort of structure. Can't be a
househo could live out here. I'm better

186
00:16:52.159 --> 00:17:07.920
take a look. Pete was right
when he said this this is what to

187
00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:12.200
see me. The top of this
wodge looked like it was within a few

188
00:17:12.279 --> 00:17:18.519
yards of the deepening that seemed to
be walking forever. H where the heathways

189
00:17:18.599 --> 00:17:25.279
make the air shimmer of it?
Idn't even shore where I am. I'm

190
00:17:25.319 --> 00:17:29.559
getting to the top. Yeah,
now let's find out just what I saw

191
00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:33.519
there comes out one again, I
get the stand out of my eyes.

192
00:17:34.400 --> 00:17:44.319
I that's better. Now it's a
hall of a ship. Yes, this

193
00:17:44.519 --> 00:17:48.240
is what I saw from the hill. Walk on her buried in the sand

194
00:17:48.319 --> 00:17:51.480
with a little more than part of
the top decks of them. But it's

195
00:17:51.519 --> 00:17:55.960
a ship, all right. Look
at the cardies in the rain. I

196
00:17:56.039 --> 00:18:00.640
wonder if it's safe to walk on
it. Yeah, it seems hollow enough,

197
00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:08.640
and there's something inscribed in the railing
and time, come lot time sand

198
00:18:08.680 --> 00:18:19.480
the corn. I found the ship. I followed it. Uh all right,

199
00:18:21.400 --> 00:18:25.359
set easy, Harry, keep calm. This is only half the bottom.

200
00:18:25.920 --> 00:18:29.559
You don't know if the hole is
filled with sand or what. And

201
00:18:29.759 --> 00:18:33.759
let's stup for hatch. Find a
hatch and open it and lead to the

202
00:18:33.839 --> 00:18:41.240
interior. Get away the sandy.
I hit something. I gotta dig the

203
00:18:41.279 --> 00:18:44.799
sand away. You gotta find out
what I hit. Come out out boy

204
00:18:44.880 --> 00:18:48.200
to start is beginning of seth.
It's not much time less. I was

205
00:18:48.319 --> 00:18:56.799
right, you didn't hatch not getting
open. Oh it's jam. I can't

206
00:18:56.920 --> 00:19:03.759
budget hied up with a shovel.
I cope with Give me coming up.

207
00:19:04.279 --> 00:19:08.319
Get my hand on the edge.
I didn't know my other hands. No,

208
00:19:08.680 --> 00:19:17.519
I canna didn't flip it. Uh
I got I got it? Yeah,

209
00:19:17.799 --> 00:19:25.680
just prop it up with a shovel. Yeah. Oh, I started

210
00:19:25.720 --> 00:19:30.240
down there. I can't wait.
Wait a minute. Here's the top of

211
00:19:30.279 --> 00:19:47.480
the lad Wonder if it'll hold me? H where. It's a long way

212
00:19:47.599 --> 00:19:53.839
up. I can just barely see
the hatch over there. Looks like I'm

213
00:19:53.880 --> 00:20:02.960
in some sort of passage way.
I can't see wh stop assume life.

214
00:20:03.680 --> 00:20:15.440
Okay, it looks like a door
open crazier table, just like sharks on

215
00:20:15.519 --> 00:20:19.680
the walls. I mean over in
the corner. You can't make out where

216
00:20:19.759 --> 00:20:26.880
these looks white seems to glisten a
little. Wonder what is it? It's

217
00:20:26.960 --> 00:20:37.920
a skull? H scare the life
out of me? What was your name?

218
00:20:38.000 --> 00:20:41.480
Wasn't you? Was it? Yorick? You come riding into this ship

219
00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:45.720
once you hit the desert four hundred
years ago? Take easy, easy,

220
00:20:45.759 --> 00:20:51.680
are don't lose your numerund boy,
do the winnesayms to be getting stronger.

221
00:20:51.720 --> 00:20:53.400
Maybe I better go back and get
some help. No, no, not

222
00:20:53.519 --> 00:20:56.880
until I find what I came for. Hey, you you are Maybe you

223
00:20:56.960 --> 00:21:00.759

Try to hi? Maybe you were luck

226
00:21:25.759 --> 00:21:30.799
Let's see what Yorick was guiding.
She said, brought a flashlight.

227
00:21:30.920 --> 00:21:40.079
This lighter doesn't help him. What

the jeep. So on, you're

235
00:22:30.440 --> 00:22:33.720
The flame is getting low and the
lighter. Wow, I won't need it

236
00:22:33.839 --> 00:22:40.720
much longer. How is that the
windows is a lot where the ladders to

237
00:22:40.759 --> 00:22:45.559
the hatchway so dark? O god? Whatever it was this the shovel.

238
00:22:48.240 --> 00:22:52.759
Oh, the wind blew the hatch
stop. Wow, that's all right.

239
00:22:52.200 --> 00:22:59.839
I just climb up and forced it
open. There's a ladder, there's a

240
00:23:00.680 --> 00:23:06.920
it hashed. Let's get an open
and get back in the jeep. She's

241
00:23:06.960 --> 00:23:14.319
to be stuck. I think it's
giving a little. Yeah, I had

242
00:23:14.359 --> 00:23:21.519
the rest. He's your bresident.
The wind is really getting a strong when

dosand tons of sands. I'm gonna get

245
00:23:30.119 --> 00:23:53.200
the hatch open now, what joy
I can't get over Sauce Spence you've been

246
00:23:53.240 --> 00:24:04.839
listening to The Lost Ship with Especially

speaking well, I figure I'll keep
the rhythm going with another one if you

251
00:24:27.720 --> 00:24:33.079
don't mind. This one is I
also have a bit of a personal connection

252
00:24:33.240 --> 00:24:41.160
to you. See. This one
is about a It's about a vocation that

253
00:24:41.279 --> 00:24:48.079
I have a lot of experience wearing, perhaps not in the way you might

254
00:24:48.200 --> 00:24:56.200
expect expects. It's about a state
executioner, a man whose job it is

255
00:24:56.359 --> 00:25:04.799
to snuff out the flee inside of
other men, bad men, corrupt men,

256
00:25:06.000 --> 00:25:12.880
or at least that's what we're led
to believe. But when your job

257
00:25:14.119 --> 00:25:18.039
is to extinguish the flame of man, well, I can't say it would

258
00:25:18.079 --> 00:25:22.519
make your own flame burn very bright. No, no, no, no,

259
00:25:23.440 --> 00:25:26.960
so relax. I have another cup
of tea right here for you as

260
00:25:27.000 --> 00:26:04.440
we begin we later, let's go
back tonight to another time, the time

261
00:26:04.519 --> 00:26:08.160
of King George, the third of
England. But our story tonight is not

262
00:26:08.279 --> 00:26:11.359
a monarchy. It's the story of
an ordinary man by the name of Samuel

263
00:26:11.440 --> 00:26:23.400
Jones, who had the extraordinary profession
of state executioner. Tonight's Lights Out presents

264
00:26:23.400 --> 00:26:30.119
another psychological drama, the play in
which the principal part is taken not for

265
00:26:30.240 --> 00:26:34.839
the character himself, but by his
thoughts. The voice you are about to

266
00:26:34.920 --> 00:26:40.640
hear is that of the thoughts of
one Samuel Jones, the state executioner.

267
00:26:40.720 --> 00:26:45.039
For his Majesty George the Third,
he saysts alone in a dismal rule,

268
00:26:45.759 --> 00:26:52.319
and these are his thoughts. I
wanna be dead, dead dead. Do

269
00:26:52.359 --> 00:26:55.039
you fear anything when you're dead?
Are you hungry? Are you cold?

270
00:26:55.079 --> 00:26:57.799
Or your tide when you're dead?
No? When I'm dead, of at

271
00:26:57.880 --> 00:27:02.240
peace? Peace. I've got to
have peace. Kill myself, yes,

272
00:27:02.839 --> 00:27:06.200
bullet in my heart. The pain. I don't like pain, but it

273
00:27:06.279 --> 00:27:11.160
can't hurt. They say it doesn't
hurt. Only hanging hurts. I know

274
00:27:11.279 --> 00:27:14.359
it does. I've seen their faces
when they cut them down, purple black.

275
00:27:14.880 --> 00:27:17.200
I've seen their faces and the masks
came off, and the pain and

276
00:27:17.200 --> 00:27:18.799
the pain that twists their faces,
grounds their teeth and gives them living helen

277
00:27:18.880 --> 00:27:22.920
for the last they die. That's
why I've got to use this pistol to

278
00:27:22.000 --> 00:27:26.359
kill myself. I can't stand pain. All I want is peace. Peace.

279
00:27:30.079 --> 00:27:32.960
S getting late. I've gotta do
it quick before they get here.

280
00:27:33.240 --> 00:27:34.640
And they'm much faster than they did, but they get here quick enough.

281
00:27:36.119 --> 00:27:37.359
Got to be dead when they come
into that door. They can't bother the

282
00:27:37.400 --> 00:27:40.960
dead in that grave. I'll be
dead, deep deep in the grave.

283
00:27:41.839 --> 00:27:45.519
Why should they blame me? I
only did my duty. Someone's got to

284
00:27:45.559 --> 00:27:49.960
be the hangman. Someone's got That's
what he said to me that night.

285
00:27:52.240 --> 00:27:56.759
That's what his lordship said to me
twenty years ago. It was he said,

286
00:27:56.279 --> 00:28:00.799
Samuel jones Ey, Yes, your
worship, What makes you think you

287
00:28:00.880 --> 00:28:03.759
can do this work? Oh?
I I just know your worship. I

288
00:28:03.880 --> 00:28:07.680
know all about hanging, sir.
Everything there is to know. Well,

289
00:28:07.160 --> 00:28:11.200
hemp ropes best for hemp rope.
But each rope's got to be fresh,

290
00:28:11.240 --> 00:28:12.480
and you for every job, and
you've got to keep it soap stone and

291
00:28:12.519 --> 00:28:17.119
always in the cool, dry place. Well you do know something about it?

292
00:28:17.279 --> 00:28:18.359
Oh, yes, sir. Then
there's a short drop and the long

293
00:28:18.440 --> 00:28:22.359
drop. The long drop's better,
sir, I know it is. If

294
00:28:22.519 --> 00:28:26.559
breaks than necks, sir, every
time at breaks than neck. All right,

295
00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:30.640
i'll give you your chance. We're
having a hanging here tomorrow. I'll

296
00:28:30.680 --> 00:28:33.279
let you do it. If all
goes well, I recommend you to the

297
00:28:33.359 --> 00:28:41.440
prison board. If all goes well, all did go well? Why not?

298
00:28:41.960 --> 00:28:47.440
And there I was executioner for his
majesty. Five guineas a broken neck,

299
00:28:48.279 --> 00:28:52.119
seven hundred seventy seven hangs in twenty
years, seven hundred seventy seven broken

300
00:28:52.200 --> 00:28:56.720
necks, and mine the hand that's
from the trap seven hundred seventy seven times.

301
00:28:57.279 --> 00:29:00.640
Now the hand's got a pistol in
it. When they reach here,

302
00:29:00.640 --> 00:29:02.440
when they knocking on that door,
I pressed the trigger, and so I

303
00:29:02.440 --> 00:29:04.480
won't have to face them, none
of them, seven hundred and seventy seven

304
00:29:04.519 --> 00:29:07.359
broken next, and no one knew
that I was a man who did it,

305
00:29:07.880 --> 00:29:11.240
Not even she knew it. And
then my own wife, not even

306
00:29:11.279 --> 00:29:18.400
she I met her, married her, and she didn't know until that day,

307
00:29:18.960 --> 00:29:22.480

nosing around. I'm telling you,

00:29:25.519 --> 00:29:27.519

00:29:27.640 --> 00:29:32.720

311
00:29:32.839 --> 00:29:37.920

Don't she know? Please? I

313
00:29:41.160 --> 00:29:44.359
Look here, don't you know what
yours didn't die? You mean the business?

He's in business? I hang,

315
00:29:48.759 --> 00:29:51.519

00:29:51.559 --> 00:29:53.839

is the angman? There must be great?

317
00:29:55.200 --> 00:29:57.319
So I'm crazy? Am I?
Well he's the angsman and no,

00:29:57.440 --> 00:30:00.720

You don't have to be fair here

320
00:30:04.400 --> 00:30:08.359
he is asking yourself. Them's going
on here? What's the matter? What

321
00:30:08.519 --> 00:30:11.920

322
00:30:11.960 --> 00:30:15.880
to tell them? She says,
She says, says. What I said

323
00:30:15.920 --> 00:30:18.880

324
00:30:21.079 --> 00:30:23.279
get out all right now? Girl? Well say one more word about me

325
00:30:23.319 --> 00:30:30.400
and I'll kill you. You hear
me, I'll kill you. Maddening fold

326
00:30:30.759 --> 00:30:33.119
fool, sam You shouldn't have talked
to her. Why did you listen to

327
00:30:33.480 --> 00:30:34.960
things like that. It isn't good
for me, and it is true.

328
00:30:36.480 --> 00:30:38.839
Man's got earn is living living from
killing. It's crazy. I don't care.

329
00:30:38.880 --> 00:30:41.240
I don't condemn them. You kill, I'll tell you I'm not the

330
00:30:41.359 --> 00:30:47.079
judge. Oh no, Ellen touch
me. Hangman, all right, that's

331
00:30:47.119 --> 00:30:49.079
what I am. Hangman, hanging
yeah, hangman, hangman. Say it

332
00:30:49.119 --> 00:30:52.400
again and again. What do I
care? I like being a hang when

333
00:30:52.440 --> 00:30:56.279
you hear me, I like being
a hang No something more. I like

334
00:30:56.400 --> 00:31:00.799
killing me. I like the way
they stumble and walk up the stairs,

335
00:31:00.400 --> 00:31:03.960
like the cold whitings of their skins
when I put the noose around their next

336
00:31:03.960 --> 00:31:06.319
sum the way everyone looks at me, watches me, and then the crash

337
00:31:06.359 --> 00:31:08.119
of the rope stretches. Sometimes their
legs kick in the air, and you

338
00:31:08.160 --> 00:31:11.079
hear them eat them for a little
better. I can't get past the tight

339
00:31:11.160 --> 00:31:19.640
grope around there. When I was
a boy, there stronger man up from

340
00:31:19.680 --> 00:31:23.160
a tree just outside of the town, and I watched them, and I

341
00:31:23.240 --> 00:31:26.200
saw him dance on the air,
and I said to myself, someday I'll

342
00:31:26.279 --> 00:31:30.680
do that too. Hang them legal, make them dance on the air,

343
00:31:30.720 --> 00:31:36.200
because it's the law. And now
I'm doing what I wanted executioner for the

344
00:31:36.279 --> 00:31:41.279
crown and well, and won't pa
it a bit. Now, come here

345
00:31:41.359 --> 00:31:44.680
to me. Don't stay away from
me. No, I won't stay with

346
00:31:44.759 --> 00:31:47.119
you. I won't hang and I
won't stay with you. I'll go away.

347
00:31:47.160 --> 00:31:55.440
I thought you wouldn't leave me,
but she did. Haven't let me

348
00:31:56.599 --> 00:32:00.240
And I looked all over, couldn't
find her. After a while, an't

349
00:32:00.240 --> 00:32:02.279
care. What's the woman? I
had my work, hanging work. Five

350
00:32:02.359 --> 00:32:06.359
guineas are hanging and go crying,
five of them, five golden guineas.

351
00:32:06.559 --> 00:32:08.119
I like the sound of them.
I like the sound of them. One

352
00:32:09.200 --> 00:32:19.039
go, three far five. I
bought a strong box and kept them there,

353
00:32:20.000 --> 00:32:22.079
every hanging them five more, paying
me. They're worth for what I

354
00:32:22.240 --> 00:32:25.960
like to do. It was funny, very funny. I didn't missir.

355
00:32:27.559 --> 00:32:30.920
Now why should I had my work? I got to be good at my

356
00:32:31.079 --> 00:32:35.680
work. The cops were good too. They give me plenty to do.

357
00:32:36.920 --> 00:32:40.440
I tried out different ways. I
made a hanging machine with springs and sandbags

358
00:32:40.480 --> 00:32:44.039
that jerked the man into the air
first and then drop him through a trap.

359
00:32:45.480 --> 00:32:49.599
I tried out different ropes and different
running nooses. Oh, I got

360
00:32:49.640 --> 00:32:54.720
to be good at it. In
twenty years, really good chicken kicking,

361
00:32:54.799 --> 00:32:58.039
Stop kicking. I hear your bust
to talk. I hear you what you're

362
00:32:58.039 --> 00:33:00.880
trying to tell me. I know
there's much time that they'll be here soon,

363
00:33:00.319 --> 00:33:02.119
So let them come, Let them
come. I'm ready, pistol in

364
00:33:02.160 --> 00:33:05.400
my hand. I'm ready for the
first knock on the door. I won't

365
00:33:05.440 --> 00:33:07.920
be here to hit them. I'll
have peace and cry. Whatever they say

366
00:33:07.920 --> 00:33:09.799
to me, I won't hear it
because I'll be dead. Why should they

367
00:33:09.839 --> 00:33:15.240
say? If what's done is done? Seven hundred seventy seven of them.

368
00:33:15.759 --> 00:33:22.960
It was fun because each died different. Seven hundred seventy seven different has this

369
00:33:23.200 --> 00:33:34.359
one? I tell you fun fun
summer morning, and some went to the

370
00:33:34.400 --> 00:33:43.920
gallows of crying. Best of all, I like the one. They better

371
00:33:43.960 --> 00:33:52.319
have crazy story. Yeah wait,
yes, the ones that were crazy scared

372
00:33:52.359 --> 00:33:55.680
were the best. I like them
fine. And five guineas just the same

373
00:33:55.799 --> 00:34:00.440
for having fun. Five guineas.
I'm sorry at the or. I heard

374
00:34:00.440 --> 00:34:07.480
a sound now, I just imagine
no one's knocking. They knocked that pernil

375
00:34:07.480 --> 00:34:12.639
trigger. They won't get me knocked
me. Seven hundred and seventy seven or

376
00:34:12.719 --> 00:34:16.559
five guineas each coins that bit into
my flesh when I grabbed them tight.

377
00:34:20.679 --> 00:34:24.760
Oh, I like the sound my
name money yellow money. First I like

378
00:34:24.840 --> 00:34:31.639
the hangings best, and then the
money. Then I got to like them

379
00:34:31.679 --> 00:34:37.480
both. Watch eager around the courtrooms
this trial, that trial, would they

380
00:34:37.519 --> 00:34:39.280
hang him with the hanger with the
judge he guilty if he didn't met her

381
00:34:39.320 --> 00:34:44.400
hanging another five guineas. Oh,
I watched for business, new business,

382
00:34:44.480 --> 00:34:47.440
my business, hang'em up and
wants them die. Well, they knock

383
00:34:47.480 --> 00:34:51.239
on the door. Then pistol saving
in my hand. He used the pistol

384
00:34:51.320 --> 00:34:54.840
too, they said Tom Allen,
I read about him in the court announcement

385
00:34:55.000 --> 00:34:59.159
one day when I was outside of
the court room looking for new business,

386
00:34:59.719 --> 00:35:05.079
m business. Thomas Ellen, twenty
year old law student, was charged by

387
00:35:05.119 --> 00:35:08.119
the city police would have it murdered
his sweetheart Rain Hamilton, nineteen year old

388
00:35:08.199 --> 00:35:14.559
daughter of Irevin Hamilton. Young.
Allen denied the charge vigorously. He stated

389
00:35:14.599 --> 00:35:16.719
that the girl had sent him a
letter in which he told of her intentions

390
00:35:16.760 --> 00:35:21.719
of committing suicide, but at a
late hour Alan was unable to produce this

391
00:35:21.880 --> 00:35:24.639
letter. He was held without buying
at the Tower and the church. Yes,

392
00:35:25.039 --> 00:35:30.159
that's what it said. That's what
it said, Heaven murdered a younger.

393
00:35:30.280 --> 00:35:32.639
The minute I read it, I
said to myself, saying, Jones,

394
00:35:32.719 --> 00:35:37.079
he is the next one. And
I could hear the money clinking in

395
00:35:37.159 --> 00:35:44.559
my hand already, and Tom Allen
hanging by his neck. What am I

396
00:35:44.639 --> 00:35:46.599
thinking about? What I might?
I don't think. I'm knocking on the

397
00:35:46.639 --> 00:35:50.239
door and let me get this over
with him. I need the knocking on

398
00:35:50.280 --> 00:35:52.960
the door to give me a nerve
enough to press the trigger. He's waiting

399
00:35:52.239 --> 00:35:59.320
waiting. I waited for Tom Allen
too. I waited for them to say

400
00:35:59.320 --> 00:36:01.280
guilty to him so I could put
the running loose around his neck. I

401
00:36:01.400 --> 00:36:07.719
waited, waited, going every day
of the trial. The prosecutor for the

402
00:36:07.760 --> 00:36:13.239
Crown said guilty. The young man's
solicitor said, not guilty. The young

403
00:36:13.320 --> 00:36:15.920
man said, I didn't do it. I tell you I didn't do it.

404
00:36:15.159 --> 00:36:17.480
She did it herself. She wrote
me a letter saying that she was

405
00:36:17.599 --> 00:36:21.679
killing herself. She wrote me a
letter, She wrote me a lesson.

406
00:36:21.719 --> 00:36:24.039
I can you she wrote me a
letter. Yes, that's what he said.

407
00:36:24.559 --> 00:36:29.039
She wrote me a letter saying she
was killing herself. Where was the

408
00:36:29.119 --> 00:36:31.400
letter? Where was the letter?
Nobody knew? Couldn't find it, and

409
00:36:31.559 --> 00:36:35.920
day after day, sitting there in
the court room, I could see the

410
00:36:36.039 --> 00:36:39.440
news coming close and close. Two
days morning he'd be dancing on air.

411
00:36:39.800 --> 00:36:45.119
Another five guineas in my box.
Such a pity, such a handsome young

412
00:36:45.199 --> 00:36:49.000
man's strong young neck for my rope. I say he didn't have a chance.

413
00:36:49.760 --> 00:36:52.000
What good did it do for his
solicitors? Keep saying, I tell

414
00:36:52.079 --> 00:36:58.599
you, gentlemen, it is circumstantial
evidence, and circumstantial evidence alone which has

415
00:36:58.639 --> 00:37:04.639
been produced. A weird combination of
circumstances have conspired to make it appear that

416
00:37:04.760 --> 00:37:09.599
the suicide of this unfortunate girl was
a murder committed by this equally unfortunate young

417
00:37:09.719 --> 00:37:16.679
man, and an equally weird set
of circumstances have resulted in the disappearance of

418
00:37:16.719 --> 00:37:22.760
this vital letter which Clais tom Elin
of all responsibility for Mistress Hamilton's death.

419
00:37:23.840 --> 00:37:29.360
In this letter, the girl clearly
stated that she was taking her own life

420
00:37:29.440 --> 00:37:35.079
by poison. In spite of the
absence of this letter, Surely yours intelligent

421
00:37:35.280 --> 00:37:39.199
men can tell that, for seeing
and hearing tom Ellen's testimony, that he

422
00:37:39.400 --> 00:37:44.239
is telling the truth, that such
a letter did reach him, and that

423
00:37:44.360 --> 00:37:49.880
he is innocent of all wrong doing, but there was no letter. He

424
00:37:49.960 --> 00:37:53.400
didn't have a chance. The prosecutor
of the crown got up, He said,

425
00:37:53.679 --> 00:37:59.360
a letter, the materious letter.
And where a gentleman for jury,

426
00:37:59.599 --> 00:38:05.320
is this letter? For what mystical
realms has it disappeared? This wondrous communication,

427
00:38:05.480 --> 00:38:08.920
which still conveniently absolved Tom Allen for
the death of that poor girl.

428
00:38:09.719 --> 00:38:15.519
Where I asked, again, is
this letter? The young hennistated repeatedly that

429
00:38:15.639 --> 00:38:20.519
the letter within his lodging undestroyed,
for every inch of that lodging has been

430
00:38:20.559 --> 00:38:24.239
carefully examined. And yes, the
letter has not been found. And why

431
00:38:24.360 --> 00:38:29.400
hasn't it been found, gentlemen,
I will tell you it is because that

432
00:38:29.599 --> 00:38:34.920
letter does not exist. Sorry,
Hamilton never wrote such a letter. She

433
00:38:35.119 --> 00:38:38.519
was murdered, murdered in a fit
of jealous rage by this man who affects

434
00:38:38.519 --> 00:38:45.440
you to believe of a posterous toil
about jest. Yes, I've had sun

435
00:38:45.480 --> 00:38:51.280
myself could because I saw that young
fellow didn't have a chance. Man news

436
00:38:51.320 --> 00:38:54.360
was getting closer and closer to his
neck. And then the black cat on

437
00:38:54.400 --> 00:39:04.039
the judges head for his crime against
the ordering security the crown. You told

438
00:39:04.079 --> 00:39:08.760
me they're him? Are hereby condemned
to be hanged by the nick until dead.

439
00:39:08.880 --> 00:39:13.000
Oh so I didn't do it.
I didn't do it. I tell

440
00:39:13.039 --> 00:39:17.719
you I didn't. And I said
I didn't do it. Then I had

441
00:39:17.840 --> 00:39:21.840
him or he said I didn't know. He screaming wouldn't do any good.

442
00:39:21.840 --> 00:39:24.679
I had him already for my knew
guilty, and I wanted to go up

443
00:39:24.679 --> 00:39:28.599
and thank the judge. Escape me
business? Hanging business? Ever's business?

444
00:39:29.599 --> 00:39:31.679
Why don't they hurry up and get
here? Wouldn't have to think anymore?

445
00:39:31.920 --> 00:39:35.320
Knock on the door, I wouldn't
have to think. Finger squeezed the trigger,

446
00:39:35.440 --> 00:39:37.360
finished piece, I won't have to
think. I wouldn't have to think.

447
00:39:37.400 --> 00:39:39.360
What happened? Then? What happened? After they said the boy was

448
00:39:39.360 --> 00:39:43.000
guilty? They put him in a
cell, death cell. The door shut

449
00:39:43.119 --> 00:39:49.639
tight, and I stood and watched
they put him in a cell. I

450
00:39:49.679 --> 00:39:52.440
have golden gets in a cell a
few more weeks and leep in mind to

451
00:39:52.519 --> 00:39:58.840
teach that dancing less than mong the
thin air I counted every day until I'd

452
00:39:59.119 --> 00:40:01.800
give him to me. I picked
him on the corridor, watching his cellar.

453
00:40:04.119 --> 00:40:07.519
The ward of the prison said,
well, Sam, it certainly looks

454
00:40:07.559 --> 00:40:10.000
as if you're going to have another
customer. I suppose you heard about it.

455
00:40:10.599 --> 00:40:15.920
The King refused Young Allen's last appeal. He hangs in two more days.

456
00:40:15.840 --> 00:40:20.159
We've tried to make his going as
easy as we can. I like

457
00:40:20.239 --> 00:40:23.000
the lad too. Bad about that
letter, he says, the girl wrote

458
00:40:23.079 --> 00:40:28.239
him. Well, he's talking about
it. We've got to do our duty.

459
00:40:29.320 --> 00:40:31.079
Oh, by the way, you're
going past the serah. Yeah,

460
00:40:31.840 --> 00:40:36.840
here's some books of his. His
landlady sitting. But he might like to

461
00:40:36.880 --> 00:40:39.360
read them while he had the time. Take them with you, salah and

462
00:40:39.519 --> 00:40:45.039
give them to him. It will
be his last time to read. So

463
00:40:45.199 --> 00:40:47.760
I took the books so long?
Why not? Why not reading? Would

464
00:40:47.760 --> 00:40:52.519
and save that? Next I started
down the corridors with his books. Down

465
00:40:52.599 --> 00:40:57.159
the corridors called the best seller something
where I fell out of one of his

466
00:40:57.239 --> 00:41:00.760
books and I picked it up.
It was all I found it read.

467
00:41:00.280 --> 00:41:05.519
Dear Tom, I told you I
was going to kill myself, and now

468
00:41:05.599 --> 00:41:08.639
I'm going to do it. By
the time you get this, the police

469
00:41:08.679 --> 00:41:13.920
ought to be accusing you of the
elder, and undoubtedly all those people who

470
00:41:14.000 --> 00:41:17.840
heard have caught on the other night
will be testifyingly to kill me. That's

471
00:41:17.880 --> 00:41:22.239
the main reason I'm sending you this
letter so that you will have some proof

472
00:41:22.599 --> 00:41:29.239
that the person they're finding me was
self administered. Forgive me, I'm just

473
00:41:29.559 --> 00:41:34.039
tired of living. And it was
her name, signed toward her sad girls.

474
00:41:34.800 --> 00:41:37.559
When they said he'd killed, this
was the letter, the letter he'd

475
00:41:37.559 --> 00:41:39.239
been yelling about, the letter.
He wanted to save his neck, but

476
00:41:39.400 --> 00:41:44.239
his neck belonged to me already,
five guinnis. I stopped the letter Dee

477
00:41:44.280 --> 00:41:46.800
from my talk and just waiting until
the night. The warden, well,

478
00:41:46.920 --> 00:41:50.760
sem, it looks as if we're
going to have to go through with it,

479
00:41:51.480 --> 00:41:53.760
so I want everything done properly and
no mistake go. You have a

480
00:41:53.840 --> 00:42:00.440
large visitors gaery, very distinguished people
say, and that reminds me. There's

481
00:42:00.480 --> 00:42:04.280
been some woman trying to see you
all day. Some women don't know who.

482
00:42:04.400 --> 00:42:07.239
Hears them say she's got to see
you. But I wasn't seeing any

483
00:42:07.320 --> 00:42:09.800
woman. Not that night. There
was my work to do see that everything

484
00:42:09.880 --> 00:42:13.840
was ready, The rope was ready, everything perfect for a perfect hanging.

485
00:42:14.559 --> 00:42:17.119
Grew later and letter I could hear
him into the death stell, pleading with

486
00:42:17.159 --> 00:42:21.039
the minister. You've got to help
me, So you've got to You've got

487
00:42:21.159 --> 00:42:23.320
to get the key. He's got
to believe that that I didn't kill her.

488
00:42:23.400 --> 00:42:27.960
I didn't. Oh, won't anyone
believe me? She wrote me a

489
00:42:28.079 --> 00:42:30.079
letter. She wrote me a letter
in which she said she killed herself.

490
00:42:30.280 --> 00:42:32.679
She wrote me a letter, ken
you. She wrote me a letter,

491
00:42:32.920 --> 00:42:36.679
Yes, a letter, but that
was in my pocket. Note was going

492
00:42:36.719 --> 00:42:38.719
to stay until it was all over. He couldn't really couldn't live now.

493
00:42:38.840 --> 00:42:43.000
I'd waited too long. It's been
such a long time since they'd given me

494
00:42:43.039 --> 00:42:45.760
a good, strong neck to hang. They couldn't cheat me now, and

495
00:42:45.920 --> 00:42:55.239
master as they are, they came
for a minnesela. They let him down

496
00:42:55.280 --> 00:43:09.639
the carriage, and then they were
marching him up the stairs for the gallows.

497
00:43:16.000 --> 00:43:22.760
I was waiting, waiting, broke
us in my hand. The boy

498
00:43:22.800 --> 00:43:24.880
looked out at me. His lips
moved, and he said, I tell

499
00:43:24.920 --> 00:43:30.480
you I didn't do it. The
letter, the letter. I didn't kill

500
00:43:30.800 --> 00:43:37.199
a lot. I tell you what
I didn't do her port travel's heart.

501
00:43:45.719 --> 00:43:51.079
This man is dead. It was
darn of this man is dead. Time

502
00:43:51.119 --> 00:43:53.039
golden again as the water, and
said good works. Then look his neck.

503
00:43:54.840 --> 00:44:00.079
I went out into the street.
I was walking home. I felt

504
00:44:00.159 --> 00:44:06.039
real good. I have golden guineas
a woman came up to me and said,

505
00:44:06.159 --> 00:44:08.039

that's me. What do you want?

506
00:44:08.199 --> 00:44:10.679
I haven't got time. I have
time to listen to me? Hangman?

507
00:44:12.840 --> 00:44:17.280
Oh look at me? Yes,

508
00:44:17.400 --> 00:44:21.320
Hangman? No mother either, no
mother either? And you're the thing that's

509
00:44:21.360 --> 00:44:22.840
done it. I tried to reach
you. I tried to tell you.

510
00:44:22.920 --> 00:44:25.000
They said you wouldn't see me.
What could I do? What could I

511
00:44:25.119 --> 00:44:28.159
do? Your hand? Did it? Yours? Hangman? Yours? Are

stopped me. I couldn't see his

520
00:45:05.920 --> 00:45:09.599
face. You'll kill my brother years
ago. I said no, no,

521
00:45:09.800 --> 00:45:13.360
no, leave me alone, leave
me alone. That kept on running,

522

a woman stopping your hung maids heather

00:45:23.119 --> 00:45:29.480
screaming, kept up, phone,
running, stood faster, knew why

526
00:45:29.559 --> 00:45:32.559
to join them. He looked back. The street was black with hundreds chasing

527
00:45:32.599 --> 00:45:36.360
me, yelling, streaming. I
hung their son, father's brother. The

528
00:45:36.400 --> 00:45:37.199
street was black with them, I
tell you, and every one of them

529
00:45:37.360 --> 00:45:39.679
killed, one of the stepping hundred
tep to something that I fount my rope,

530
00:45:40.440 --> 00:45:44.199
chasing me, chasing me, hundreds
of them yelling, streaming, after

531
00:45:44.239 --> 00:45:45.320
my life, water, my blood, hands up, cut like past,

532
00:45:45.840 --> 00:45:52.000
tell my first wires up, running, running, len cattery. That's why

533
00:45:52.000 --> 00:45:57.000
I did it. That's where I
did. She slammed the door, lost

534
00:45:57.039 --> 00:46:00.519
the back of the every one of
them wives and so some brothers, the

535
00:46:00.559 --> 00:46:04.599
seven hundred seventy seven. But they'll
find me. They'll search me out.

536
00:46:04.639 --> 00:46:07.000
They're searching me out. Yes,
they'll find me. That's why my finger's

537
00:46:07.039 --> 00:46:08.159
on the PicTel. The mob won't
get me. No, the mob won't

538
00:46:08.199 --> 00:46:15.559
get me. Funny mom, they
were when our bodies just heads, heads

539
00:46:15.599 --> 00:46:19.719
of people chasing me and yelling.
They won't get me. No, they

540
00:46:19.719 --> 00:46:21.400
won't. When they find me here, when they knock on the door,

541
00:46:21.400 --> 00:46:28.480
I'll kill myself here outside the door. He won't get me, not you.

542
00:46:29.679 --> 00:46:31.079
Yes, I hung your son's husband. Tell your friends lovers. But

543
00:46:31.159 --> 00:46:35.159
that's not all. I hung my
son. You hear me hung my son

544
00:46:35.280 --> 00:46:47.440
for five guineas hung my son.
Yeah, money coming out of you and

545
00:46:49.760 --> 00:47:02.519
see me God? And you mean
to say he yelled out for you to

546
00:47:02.599 --> 00:47:06.920
come in and then he shot himself. He says, it's the gold truth.

547
00:47:07.440 --> 00:47:09.480
I knocked on the door, he
yelled, come in, Come in,

548
00:47:09.599 --> 00:47:13.559
all of you, and see me
die in when I opened the door.

549
00:47:14.280 --> 00:47:16.480
Thing he did it? And what
were your banging on his door for

550
00:47:16.679 --> 00:47:22.119
this early in the morning? What
were you after? Esther? Nothing?

551
00:47:22.920 --> 00:47:27.079
I was looking for McDonald. This
mixed out. I just stopped from the

552
00:47:27.159 --> 00:47:39.880
room door. Well on that rather
rather dow or note. I think it's

553
00:47:39.880 --> 00:47:47.239
about time. It's getting late late, so late it's becoming somewhat early early

554
00:47:49.880 --> 00:47:52.800
as the sun prepares to rise.
I need to go back to where I

555
00:47:52.960 --> 00:47:58.280
come from. And so do you
do well, my dear idea. I'm

556
00:47:58.360 --> 00:48:01.920
happy to know you're heading back to
your beautiful home and your warm bed.

557
00:48:05.280 --> 00:48:12.199
Remember when you lay your head on
that delicate pillow of yours. Remember that

558
00:48:12.440 --> 00:48:17.000
nothing lasts forever, and that you
should be thankful for what you have,

559
00:48:19.320 --> 00:48:22.960
And I'll be right here waiting for
you, for you the next time you

560
00:48:22.079 --> 00:49:00.519
come looking, but until then,
try to sleep it
