Unknown Broadcast | "The Voice That Wouldn't Die" "The Fast One"

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...

WEBVTT
1
00:00:09.599 --> 00:00:12.919
Well, hello, a, my
dear, so happy you could join me.
2
00:00:13.759 --> 00:00:18.519
Oh what's that? Well, I
suppose the thing I'm most thankful for
3
00:00:18.719 --> 00:00:24.600
is this time you and I get
to spend together together. Yes, what's
4
00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:28.000
that? Oh no, no,
no, no, no, no turkey
5
00:00:28.079 --> 00:00:33.000
around here, No no. I
prefer to relax with the simple things in
6
00:00:33.039 --> 00:00:38.000
life, A hot cup of tea
and something something to chune me from the
7
00:00:38.039 --> 00:00:45.560
inside out, even though down here
it's really quite cold. I don't know.
8
00:00:46.119 --> 00:00:52.200
There's something about being fear. I
find it simply cozy, cozy,
9
00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:58.119
and I suppose you do too,
because here you are. Well. This
10
00:00:58.200 --> 00:01:02.320
story I've always enjoyed, and it
reminds me a bit of well, uh
11
00:01:03.119 --> 00:01:10.599
myself. It's called the Voice that
Wouldn't die. In some ways that's true
12
00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:15.920
and in some ways not so much. But I think you'll enjoy it quite
13
00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:19.239
a bit. So relax. I'll
put on a pot of tea and we'll
14
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:23.760
get right to Oh what's that?
Oh no, no, no, no,
15
00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:30.280
no, don't worry about them at
all. The CBS Radio Mystery criticism
16
00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:57.040
come in. Welcome. I'm temmy
grind. I wish there was another way
17
00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:00.879
of saying what I'm about to say, but I can't think of it right
18
00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:07.159
now. What I want to say
is I just love the mysteriousness of the
19
00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:13.439
mystery. Did things one can't really
explain, like things that go bump in
20
00:02:13.479 --> 00:02:19.560
the night, Know what I mean? All right? Some people prefer murdering
21
00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:23.520
me, but I like to be
scared, which is what today's story goes
22
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:30.000
to me and I hope will do
to you. Johny, Do you hear
23
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:34.919
something cry? Some kind? There
it is again? Do you hear that
24
00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:40.639
yetel? I can feel it?
Who's there? Who is it that the
25
00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:46.400
klonel? Something cold is creeping over
me, Sir fits into my pair and
26
00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:52.919
that's gone down to my feet,
Sarah, I can't move, I can't
27
00:02:53.080 --> 00:03:07.879
move. My drama, The Voice
that Wouldn't Die was adapted especially for the
28
00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:13.919
Mystery Theater by G. Frederick Lewis
and stars Norman Rose As. She returned
29
00:03:13.960 --> 00:03:38.159
shortly with Act one. The original
story of Today's Mystery Theater adaptation was printed
30
00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:43.719
at Blackwood's magazine one hundred and one
years ago. I mentioned this because I
31
00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:47.439
don't think the events are about to
hear could happen today. They just couldn't.
32
00:03:49.479 --> 00:03:54.240
So try to imagine a big stone
house in Scotland. Standing on neglected
33
00:03:54.319 --> 00:04:01.680
parkland, thick with prickly gorse and
bracken, abandoned flower beds and tangos underbrush.
34
00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:09.199
At the back a long break wall
overgrown with creepers, behind which lie
35
00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:15.000
the falling ruins of a wooden house. Got the picture. Now let's take
36
00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:17.680
a look at the people, Doctor
Stuart. This old house was the ideal
37
00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:21.600
solution for my daughter and myself.
When Rowena and I moved in, it
38
00:04:21.639 --> 00:04:26.720
was in a sorry state as well. You remember it's been a long time
39
00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:30.399
since anyone lived here at broad Book. I've only rented it by the year.
40
00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:32.720
I wouldn't buy it, mind you. It needs too much done to
41
00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:36.639
it. The roof leaks, the
plumbing leaks, doors won't closed, windows
42
00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:44.120
were open, but Rowena doors Scotland
the moors of India. I'm not surprised
43
00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:47.920
we're comfortable. I brought along a
house boy and my Indian cooked and of
44
00:04:47.959 --> 00:04:51.360
course Jarvis, who was my batman
in the army and has taken care of
45
00:04:51.439 --> 00:04:57.600
us always. And the horses.
Don't tell me you brought your horses all
46
00:04:57.639 --> 00:05:00.560
the way from India and why not? And that taking to Scotland as well
47
00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:04.079
as they did the similar I've never
heard of such a thing. After my
48
00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:09.600
wife died, I realized Rowena needed
some link with her old life, and
49
00:05:09.639 --> 00:05:13.399
since she's been riding from the time
she was six, I felt it was
50
00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:17.079
worth the trouble and expense to bring
our horses to Scotland a little more brand.
51
00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:25.560
I wish Rowena weren't out. She
knows this time of year sudden storms
52
00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:29.040
come up, but she insists on
riding the moors for hours every day.
53
00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:33.199
I don't know how you Scottish stand
this weather. Girl, you've never known
54
00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:39.519
anything else. Well, here's your
brandy. We are just the opposite weather
55
00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:44.519
in similar intense heat, well over
one hundred degrees in the shade. Yet
56
00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:48.120
Rowena was out every day riding back. Now that I've retired from the service,
57
00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:51.680
I want her to get a good
education. Riding isn't everything, you
58
00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:57.680
know, Edinburger is a stone.
Sorow here to get a good education in
59
00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:01.800
any of their schools. Old is
your daughter. She was just seventeen when
60
00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:06.879
my wife died. In another three
months, Rowena will be eighteen. Will
61
00:06:06.920 --> 00:06:12.120
you listen to that, Amy,
Sorowena has arrived at the stables, Colonel,
62
00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:15.879
I think yes, you should know
she she's in a frockful stage.
63
00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:18.600
So I was still telling me she's
been in an exodust, not that I
64
00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:23.279
know, but she's beside herself with
fear and trembling. Now I don't know
65
00:06:23.319 --> 00:06:28.079
what happened to her out on the
moors. She's absolutely white, for blood
66
00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:39.879
drained from her face. Sir,
Father, Father hicks you up? He
67
00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:45.879
his harful, Come child, you're
shooting all over. I was riding a
68
00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:49.920
hurricane and it started to rain,
and instead of taking the usual path,
69
00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:56.160
I cut through the back between the
brick wall and those old ruins the our
70
00:06:56.240 --> 00:07:02.639
house. She's fainted. I have
some medication in my back. Can you
71
00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:05.439
carry it up to a room?
Of course, yes, I'll just fetch
72
00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:10.279
my back and follow you upstairs,
the first room on the right Rowhen,
73
00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:14.120
Oh, good lord, seeing thing
has happen to your mother? She heard
74
00:07:14.199 --> 00:07:17.639
something one night? Oh child,
wake up please, I'm away father.
75
00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:24.959
What did mother hear? Was it
just before she died? I didn't realize
76
00:07:25.000 --> 00:07:28.040
you could hear me. Now,
come along, let's let's stand up.
77
00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:32.160
I want to know, father,
and I want you to go upstairs.
78
00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:36.160
You've had enough excitement for one day. We have plenty of time to talk
79
00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:41.160
about your mother. You never told
me why she died, father, No,
80
00:07:41.959 --> 00:07:45.920
I never really knew. They said
it was a disease pecure you to
81
00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:49.480
India, but it did seem to
begin after she'd had some kind of shock.
82
00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:53.920
But she never lived to tell me
what it was is. You don't
83
00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:57.879
do that. Oh, I thought
you were going to take it upstairs.
84
00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:16.120
I can go up alone. No, right, please, it is good
85
00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:20.160
of you to stay on. Doctor. I hope the supper was advocate.
86
00:08:20.759 --> 00:08:24.879
I was wondering if I shouldn't have
one more look at your daughter. She
87
00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:30.519
was sleeping soundly before we came to
the table. Good that I shouldn't bother
88
00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:33.120
her what I gave her to drink. You'd give her a good night's rest.
89
00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:37.679
Have you any idea what could have
caused such a violent outmist I heard
90
00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:43.320
no more than you did something that
happened while she was out riding. But
91
00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:48.440
what was it you were telling her
about her mother? I hadn't told her
92
00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:52.159
very much. Actually, I suppose
I should have to one day. The
93
00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:56.960
very first clue we had that anything
was wrong with my wife was one night
94
00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:03.919
when she told me she'd heard voices. Immediately she became quite feverish. He
95
00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:09.120
put it to bed, and she
died twenty four hours later. It's all
96
00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:13.840
quite mysterious and quite terrifying, and
now once more voice is a tear to
97
00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:18.240
our little family. Virtue. Worry. We'll pass, just as do our
98
00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:24.720
Scottish storms. Right now, the
skies are clear, the moon is high,
99
00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:30.840
the storm has blown out to sea. I feel certain it's only temporary,
100
00:09:30.919 --> 00:09:35.440
not just to it. Something does
it to him? Perhaps you can
101
00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:39.240
help anything. Do you know of
a minister in the area I might talk
102
00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:45.519
with when life throws these mysterious surprises
that you it never hurts to have Taven
103
00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:50.840
on your side. But Reverend Moncliffe
lives quite near me. If he's still
104
00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:54.879
awake, I will stop by tonight. He is quite old, but I'll
105
00:09:54.879 --> 00:10:01.159
try to persuade him to pay you
a visit and perhaps speak to your You're
106
00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:05.080
the most reassuring individual. Thank you, I would say. At this moment,
107
00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:11.440
both Rowena and I need all the
comfort and spiritual help we can get.
108
00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:22.960
Believe me in everyone Monkeys. I
wouldn't have disturbed ye this hour if
109
00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:28.360
I didn't think the situation of Colonel
Mortimer and his daughter most strange. Hyde
110
00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:31.559
say that, John, I say
strange for what of a better word.
111
00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:35.600
There's no doubt in my mind whatsoever. The young lady is suffering from an
112
00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:41.320
extreme shock to her nervous system,
and his voice is yes, said she
113
00:10:41.480 --> 00:10:46.000
heard. As I returned to the
room, I heard her exclaim she was
114
00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:52.200
hearing her voice again, and she
kept saying, go away, go away.
115
00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:56.919
Do you know exactly where she heard
them? She was outbriding. I
116
00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:03.879
think somewhere near Bradwood. They rented
brad Moore, have they for a year?
117
00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:09.399
I believe it's in terrible condition that
the colonel and sister comfortable. It's
118
00:11:09.480 --> 00:11:15.320
been some time that tragedy. You
mean the doorhouse at the back of the
119
00:11:15.399 --> 00:11:20.080
property that burned down. Of course, coming from India, he probably hasn't
120
00:11:20.159 --> 00:11:26.000
yet heard anything about it in the
neighborhood. It's rather ancient history before my
121
00:11:26.120 --> 00:11:31.080
time. I dare say, Well, the Colonel is very anxious to meet
122
00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:35.120
you, but I think until his
daughter is well enough to get up,
123
00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:41.000
if you could spare the time and
dropping some day, so I shall consult
124
00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:45.799
my calendar and I'll go the best
I can. Thank you for stopping by,
125
00:11:45.919 --> 00:12:00.120
John. Mother, Mother, let
me in, please, yes,
126
00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:11.080
Mother, let me in, please. Child, you're having a nightmare.
127
00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:16.519
What is it? Father? Is
that you? Of course it's me.
128
00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:22.200
Are you all right? I don't
know? You were crying out in your
129
00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:26.320
sleep? I could hear you down
the hall in my room. I was,
130
00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:31.960
Yes. Don't you remember what was
I saying? Something about your mother?
131
00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:37.039
Can you remember exactly? Father?
I'm asking to please tell me.
132
00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:41.679
It's important. I don't remember exactly. I think it was let me in.
133
00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:46.000
Yes, that was it, I
said, mother, let me in.
134
00:12:46.320 --> 00:12:50.759
Yes, that's what it was.
Oh, then it's true. It's
135
00:12:50.799 --> 00:12:56.200
all true, true, child,
It doesn't matter. Father. You mustn't
136
00:12:56.279 --> 00:13:01.519
keep thinking about your mother. I
wasn't. No. I know somehow she's
137
00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:07.000
still alive in your mind what they
called the unconscious. You must accept the
138
00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:13.519
fact that she's dead. I do. I know that you were dreaming about
139
00:13:13.559 --> 00:13:16.840
her, weren't you? No?
I wasn't. I don't know what I
140
00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:20.519
was dreaming. This are writers?
You don't wish to tell me? Well,
141
00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:24.799
there's nothing to tell I mean nothing
I could tell you that I haven't
142
00:13:24.840 --> 00:13:28.440
already. Thank you for coming into
my room to see if I was all
143
00:13:28.519 --> 00:13:35.120
right. I think I'll be able
to get back to sleep now. Goena,
144
00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:39.399
Yes, my darling, little girl, I do love you, so
145
00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:54.360
you're all I've got, yes,
father, good night, top of the
146
00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:58.360
morning to your knels. You're up, earliter, Good morning, Jarvis.
147
00:13:58.440 --> 00:14:01.720
I didn't we think well. I'm
sorry to hear that, Sir Jos.
148
00:14:01.879 --> 00:14:05.159
I've come by the stables to have
a look at my daughter's horse, Hurricane.
149
00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:09.200
I'm glad you have, Colonel,
Sir, tell the truth. After
150
00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:13.559
yesterday, I don't think he'll be
much good for riding. What happened then?
151
00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:16.759
To let me see? Yeah,
this way, colonel, so,
152
00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:20.559
I've had to move him from his
usual stall to the one at the end.
153
00:14:20.679 --> 00:14:24.600
You did yes when mister Roweena brought
him in and that storm, remember
154
00:14:24.639 --> 00:14:28.840
Sad kicked up such a row.
I thought he'd start a stable ride I
155
00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:37.639
did. There is a hurricane.
Look at him, my lord, are
156
00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:43.840
you Hurricane? Old boy? That's
a good fellow John. His eyes,
157
00:14:45.399 --> 00:14:48.240
his eyes, You'll see the fear
in them right off, don't you,
158
00:14:48.320 --> 00:14:50.720
sir. And it's a good twelve
hours since mister Rowena brought him back to
159
00:14:50.759 --> 00:14:56.600
the stables. You should have seen
him then kamblin like a leaf. I've
160
00:14:56.639 --> 00:15:00.600
never seen an arsenal I fit like
that in my LIFETI in his eyes,
161
00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:03.879
no questioner this horse. I'm telling
you, sir, this horse was acting
162
00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:07.759
up like a runaway, as though
the devil himself was behind him. He
163
00:15:07.799 --> 00:15:13.159
certainly doesn't look like him. Look
look out there right, he's kicking at
164
00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:18.879
the stall door by hope, a
hose before I came suing. Stop back,
165
00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:22.039
stand well back, So stand well
back. Don't think he's gone bad
166
00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:41.519
turn I can't handle. Sometimes it
happened a horse will lose its domesticated sense
167
00:15:41.919 --> 00:15:48.759
and revert to the original round animal. Feral and untamed fear can control almost
168
00:15:48.799 --> 00:15:54.200
any living creature. And something is
most definitely frightened both horse and rider Rorena.
169
00:15:54.799 --> 00:16:18.600
But what we should learn more?
When I returned shortly to Colonel Henry
170
00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:23.440
Mortimer, recently widowed and retired from
the British forces in India, has emigrated
171
00:16:23.480 --> 00:16:29.559
to Scotland with his daughter Rowena,
and settled in an old house called Broadmoor
172
00:16:30.080 --> 00:16:34.000
outside of Edinburgh. Last night,
Rowena returned from a ride, having heard
173
00:16:34.080 --> 00:16:40.399
voices which so frightened her that the
local doctor had to attend to her.
174
00:16:41.120 --> 00:16:45.440
He is with her now, I'm
perfectly all right, doctor. I wish
175
00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:48.480
you'd let me get up out of
bed. This morning. I cannot take
176
00:16:48.519 --> 00:16:52.440
your purse of you keep moving about
and talking? May I ask if you're
177
00:16:52.519 --> 00:16:56.600
life still? Rowen? That doos? The doctor says, it's only time
178
00:16:56.679 --> 00:17:02.000
to help. Thank you, my
dear. Would you step outside the room
179
00:17:02.039 --> 00:17:04.160
with me for a moment? May
I get up now? May she not
180
00:17:04.480 --> 00:17:07.599
do it? I'd like to have
a word with your father and then I
181
00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:17.319
will decide. This is so annoying
girl. Your daughter's purse is too fast
182
00:17:17.359 --> 00:17:22.440
for a young lady her age.
She appears to be suppressing some form of
183
00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:27.519
excitement or terror. Possibly it could
also be some far Eastern disease I am
184
00:17:27.559 --> 00:17:32.759
not familiar with that she could have
picked up before you left India. The
185
00:17:32.839 --> 00:17:38.000
girl is too pale and has a
temperature. I recommend she remain quietly until
186
00:17:38.039 --> 00:17:45.960
this subsides for how long? Certainly
another forty eight hours? I understand,
187
00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:48.759
of course, And thank you again. I'll drop in to see her again
188
00:17:48.799 --> 00:17:53.839
tomorrow. Oh, doctor Stewart,
is there anything in particular rowna should or
189
00:17:53.920 --> 00:18:00.279
should not eat anything she has a
mind to or an appetite for? Would
190
00:18:00.279 --> 00:18:07.279
see what is the verdict? Father? Will I live or die? Rowena?
191
00:18:07.400 --> 00:18:11.000
Don't mock doctor Stuart. He's examined
me everywhere, but where the trouble
192
00:18:11.119 --> 00:18:17.640
lies? Oh, and where is
that inside my head? He told me
193
00:18:17.720 --> 00:18:22.079
that you'd better remain quiet for a
day or two. Father, Before you
194
00:18:22.160 --> 00:18:26.240
and the doctor came in. This
morning, I heard Hurricane cry out in
195
00:18:26.319 --> 00:18:30.480
the stable. I know that horse. I've ridden him at home and similar
196
00:18:30.480 --> 00:18:36.000
and here on the moors. But
hearing that cry of his, he's suffering.
197
00:18:36.200 --> 00:18:38.599
Know what you're going to say,
Yes, Hurricane is still nervy from
198
00:18:38.599 --> 00:18:42.200
your ride last night, but Javis
has him back in his stall now and
199
00:18:42.279 --> 00:18:45.880
calmed down. That's not what I
was going to say at all. I
200
00:18:45.960 --> 00:18:51.200
was going to say. Now,
will you believe me that what scared me
201
00:18:51.279 --> 00:18:56.839
to death was some kind of a
disembodied voice, just one voice, not
202
00:18:56.000 --> 00:19:03.640
more, just one. It's seemed
to surround me. And then it was
203
00:19:03.880 --> 00:19:07.200
also as if it came from under
the ground. I see. Can you
204
00:19:07.279 --> 00:19:15.279
remember where right outside that wrecked old
house, the dour house, not possibly
205
00:19:15.319 --> 00:19:22.160
in your imagination and Hurricanes, that's
my point. We both heard it at
206
00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:26.039
the same time. And if I
hadn't rained him in hard and held on,
207
00:19:26.640 --> 00:19:29.759
he'd have pitched me right over his
head. Roina, you said last
208
00:19:29.839 --> 00:19:36.799
night the voice said distinguishable words.
It did, let me in, let
209
00:19:36.880 --> 00:19:41.160
me in. All last night I
kept waking up and hearing it again,
210
00:19:41.720 --> 00:19:47.920
the same voice. Then at five, as soon as the cock crowed,
211
00:19:48.039 --> 00:19:51.920
it stopped. I never heard a
thing, Rowena, and I'm two doors
212
00:19:51.960 --> 00:19:56.400
down from you. Father. Are
you saying it didn't happen because you didn't
213
00:19:56.440 --> 00:20:03.799
hear it? There is something unearthly
out crying for help, and nobody seems
214
00:20:03.799 --> 00:20:07.559
to care. Weena, be sensible. The rain was coming down, there
215
00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:11.440
was thunder and lightning enough to frighten
any horse and rider, and above all
216
00:20:11.480 --> 00:20:15.759
this dim you heard of voice?
How can you say whether it was natural
217
00:20:15.880 --> 00:20:21.960
or unnatural. I don't want to
talk about it anymore. It's tiring for
218
00:20:22.039 --> 00:20:26.599
me to keep on and on about
it. Father. Would you draw the
219
00:20:26.599 --> 00:20:30.279
curtains again so I can sleep?
I can't tell you the worst part.
220
00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:37.680
So what's the use? Ena?
Don't shut me out. I told you
221
00:20:37.759 --> 00:20:42.759
before what the voice said, but
you chose not to repeat it. Let
222
00:20:42.799 --> 00:20:48.119
me in, let me in.
Yes, don't you see what it means?
223
00:20:48.240 --> 00:20:53.519
That voice has something to do with
mother, my mother, something to
224
00:20:53.599 --> 00:20:59.240
do with the sudden way she died. How can you say that there is
225
00:20:59.279 --> 00:21:03.960
no connection. Who isn't there?
A voice cries out, and I hear
226
00:21:03.039 --> 00:21:08.480
it. I keep hearing it all
through the night. It was intended for
227
00:21:08.559 --> 00:21:15.680
me to hear it, begging mother
to be let in. It's the voice
228
00:21:15.160 --> 00:21:21.119
of my own soul. Father.
Don't you see, no, child,
229
00:21:21.200 --> 00:21:25.480
I do not. Oh. I
didn't want my mother to die. My
230
00:21:25.640 --> 00:21:30.960
heart didn't, my soul didn't.
And the morning you came and told me
231
00:21:30.079 --> 00:21:33.599
she had died in the night.
Do you remember, do you, father?
232
00:21:34.160 --> 00:21:37.799
Yes, I do. You wouldn't
get up, you remained in bed.
233
00:21:38.319 --> 00:21:41.559
And the next day I am the
nished. I wouldn't get up because
234
00:21:41.720 --> 00:21:47.960
I wanted to die too, just
as mother had during night. Oh,
235
00:21:48.680 --> 00:21:53.680
yes I did. I wanted to
be with mother. And so now we
236
00:21:53.759 --> 00:22:00.680
have left her buried there in similar
but my soul must have remained with her.
237
00:22:02.640 --> 00:22:07.160
What I heard yesterday and all night
was the voice of my own soul
238
00:22:07.559 --> 00:22:11.839
begging mother to let me be with
her. Oh, my darling child,
239
00:22:12.599 --> 00:22:18.160
don't think that. Oh I mean
it. Father. If it means I
240
00:22:18.279 --> 00:22:23.559
have to die, then I will. I heard my own soul begging mother
241
00:22:23.680 --> 00:22:30.319
to take me with her. And
that's why, even here in this room
242
00:22:30.599 --> 00:22:37.160
all last night, I could hear
that voice saying, mother, Mother,
243
00:22:37.640 --> 00:22:42.920
let me in Rowena, Let me
make this compact with you until I have
244
00:22:44.000 --> 00:22:48.279
satisfied myself it isn't somebody prowling round
out there and even calling up during the
245
00:22:48.359 --> 00:22:53.640
night. Will you reject the idea
that the voice has anything to do with
246
00:22:55.079 --> 00:23:00.279
your soul? Oh? How can
I so far fetched? Really? I
247
00:23:00.400 --> 00:23:03.279
believe you heard a voice, but
I am hoping there's a reason for it
248
00:23:03.400 --> 00:23:10.039
unconnected with your soul. Now this
evening, Jarvis and I will take lanterns
249
00:23:10.079 --> 00:23:14.880
and go out there to try to
find a rational explanation. At least you
250
00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:18.200
don't think I've made all this up? Well, why would you do that?
251
00:23:18.400 --> 00:23:22.559
Something has alarmed you. There is
no doubt about that, and I'm
252
00:23:22.559 --> 00:23:34.599
certainly going to try and find out
what it is. We'd better go single
253
00:23:34.759 --> 00:23:38.519
fire along here, Javison. The
path is too narrow. Would you like
254
00:23:38.599 --> 00:23:41.839
me to turn up the wicking or
lanterns up make it brighter? No,
255
00:23:41.960 --> 00:23:45.519
it's fine, it is. I
can see quite well with it. Do
256
00:23:45.519 --> 00:23:51.440
you have a good flame on yours? Too? Which? Why are you
257
00:23:51.599 --> 00:23:56.359
heading? My daughter tells me what
frightened her came from somewhere near the old
258
00:23:56.400 --> 00:24:02.160
Dollar House, that ruin up ahead
on the moment, gloomy about here,
259
00:24:02.279 --> 00:24:07.880
isn't it? Wait? I think
I hear something. Do you hear that
260
00:24:08.119 --> 00:24:15.559
sound, Jovison, Mount Jovison?
Do you hear it as though someone were
261
00:24:15.599 --> 00:24:22.799
standing right there? Jovis? I
didn't figure it, Colonel, I did
262
00:24:22.960 --> 00:24:29.799
most certainly hear it. Yes,
who's there? Is that? The Colonel?
263
00:24:30.119 --> 00:24:33.720
Kind of sun and cold? Its
creeping out with me. It's up
264
00:24:33.799 --> 00:24:37.759
into my hair and compare back of
my neck, and now it's gone down
265
00:24:37.799 --> 00:24:42.559
to my feet, Sir, I
can't know your imagine, Travis. Let's
266
00:24:42.599 --> 00:24:48.200
get closer to those ruins. I
suddenly realized who could be playing these games
267
00:24:48.200 --> 00:24:55.799
with us? Jarvis poachers? Yes, I could trying to make off with
268
00:24:55.839 --> 00:24:59.440
some of our deer or foul or
anything. After all, no one's been
269
00:24:59.480 --> 00:25:03.519
living it for more for quite some
time. They could have spotted Rowena heading
270
00:25:03.519 --> 00:25:07.000
for home and she got too close
to them, and they pretended this ghost
271
00:25:07.119 --> 00:25:11.079
boys. Yes, I said,
that's certainly that possibility. Yes, do
272
00:25:11.079 --> 00:25:15.079
you know I've never actually come this
far on the property. But there's a
273
00:25:15.160 --> 00:25:19.720
brick war along here somewherees, isn't
there? Yes, Colonel? So separating
274
00:25:19.920 --> 00:25:25.359
broad more from the dour house.
If you don't mind, I'd rather not
275
00:25:25.519 --> 00:25:29.039
set foot in that old place.
Why not? It could be the very
276
00:25:29.039 --> 00:25:30.359
place for poachers hide out. Oh
no, no, no, no,
277
00:25:30.440 --> 00:25:34.319
not like aisha. There's no roof, has a few walls, I'm told,
278
00:25:34.319 --> 00:25:38.000
the fat doors still standing. It
was all warded, and there's there
279
00:25:38.039 --> 00:25:42.319
was a big fire there years ago. The place was practically burned down.
280
00:25:45.079 --> 00:25:48.799
There seems to be. But yes, there is, there's an opening in
281
00:25:48.799 --> 00:25:52.400
the war. I'm holding my lantern
as high as I can now there's a
282
00:25:52.480 --> 00:25:56.920
house. I can see the ruins
from here, can you. But supposing
283
00:25:57.240 --> 00:26:02.720
they are in there, I'm going
in, Jarvis, follow me. Keep
284
00:26:02.759 --> 00:26:06.720
your eyes open and your wits about
you. But sir, suppose there's a
285
00:26:06.759 --> 00:26:11.319
whole gang of him in there,
What could we just two do against them?
286
00:26:11.920 --> 00:26:15.400
It couldn't get white tilled morning and
what we'll call the police. Jarvis,
287
00:26:15.400 --> 00:26:17.960
you don't have to follow me if
you don't wish to. But I
288
00:26:18.039 --> 00:26:21.039
have a sick dove back at the
house. At this very moment, she
289
00:26:21.119 --> 00:26:25.839
has convinced something unearthly frightened her and
her horse Rowena is not going to get
290
00:26:25.880 --> 00:26:29.200
over this shock until I can prove
to her. What she heard is quite
291
00:26:29.359 --> 00:26:34.559
human and nothing to be alarmed about. What's what? Jovis sits an owl?
292
00:26:36.319 --> 00:26:41.880
Now I'm walking in. I'm right
behind you, Sir, seems silly
293
00:26:42.279 --> 00:26:47.480
pushing the front door open when one
could walk through the wall the whote event
294
00:26:47.599 --> 00:26:52.880
and hire Jervis as I'm doing.
Are lasting? That's better. We're inside
295
00:26:52.960 --> 00:26:56.920
the dower house, or what's left
of it, and I can't see a
296
00:26:57.000 --> 00:27:03.960
living soul. Lawyer, get up
that up that's up there, hanging upside
297
00:27:03.039 --> 00:27:08.079
down from the rafters. There are
and I'm looking for something that doesn't fly
298
00:27:08.960 --> 00:27:15.680
but walks and talks. O Lord, there is a noise. It's real
299
00:27:17.680 --> 00:27:22.799
Heaven helpers. Jarvis, what's what
you're doing with that lantern you drafted in?
300
00:27:23.759 --> 00:27:26.799
Sorry? What is it? I
don't know any more than you do,
301
00:27:26.960 --> 00:27:30.200
Jarvis. Will you pick your lantern
up? We need all the light
302
00:27:30.240 --> 00:27:33.960
here we can have. I'll pick
it up and I'll light it from the
303
00:27:33.039 --> 00:27:37.799
way. Yes, yes, yes, colonel, say yes, and I
304
00:27:37.880 --> 00:27:44.400
hold it right side up, bring
it closer. That's moaning sounds to my
305
00:27:44.680 --> 00:27:48.400
right. You remain in this spot
and I'll walk over there where I thought
306
00:27:48.440 --> 00:27:53.160
it went. Let's see, there's
a stairs there. Can you see bar
307
00:27:53.240 --> 00:27:59.200
take your lantern. If it's mortal
and goes up those stairs, I shall
308
00:27:59.200 --> 00:28:03.920
follow it. I can't we stay
together, colonel said, who are you,
309
00:28:06.079 --> 00:28:08.440
Jovis? You stay right here until
I come back. Pull yourself together
310
00:28:08.480 --> 00:28:11.759
with your men. Let nothing get
past you. And no, no,
311
00:28:11.920 --> 00:28:15.200
I'm sorry that I can't stay down
here alone. Now I'll come with you,
312
00:28:15.480 --> 00:28:18.480
and if you like, we can
come back here together. I'll follow
313
00:28:18.519 --> 00:28:22.279
you. I'll be right behind you
all the way up the stairs. Please,
314
00:28:22.400 --> 00:28:30.000
Colonel, don't ask me to remain
down here alone. Is let you
315
00:28:30.279 --> 00:28:36.039
making that sound? Colonels, have
that knocking for where I'm standing here at
316
00:28:36.039 --> 00:28:38.119
the top of the stairs. I'd
say that knocking comes from down where we
317
00:28:38.119 --> 00:28:42.640
were. Someone we're knocking up the
front door. No, no, no,
318
00:28:42.839 --> 00:28:49.920
I'm not going back down now.
You cut that jobs. Joys of
319
00:28:51.079 --> 00:28:55.000
the fool is fainted on the stairs
in the name of the Lord. Who
320
00:28:55.039 --> 00:29:15.400
are you? What? God?
There can be no doubt now that the
321
00:29:15.480 --> 00:29:21.880
voice speaks for what can only be
an unseen and suffering spirit. The colonel
322
00:29:22.039 --> 00:29:26.279
has had enough investigating for one night. I can't blame him, so have
323
00:29:26.359 --> 00:29:30.559
I. He brings Javis to and
manages to get the both of them back
324
00:29:30.599 --> 00:29:36.240
to the house, and shortly,
I promise you I'll be getting back to
325
00:29:36.279 --> 00:29:57.200
you with Act three. In American
Corners, Gartland, where a hundred years
326
00:29:57.240 --> 00:30:03.640
ago most people believed in goo and
ghosties and long legged beasties and things that
327
00:30:03.720 --> 00:30:07.960
go bump in the knife, Rowena, the colonel's daughter, lies illing dead,
328
00:30:08.680 --> 00:30:12.799
believing the voice of her own soul
is spoken to her. Her father,
329
00:30:12.920 --> 00:30:18.640
the colonel, has also heard that
voice. It is morning, and
330
00:30:18.759 --> 00:30:22.519
doctor Stewart rives to check on his
patient. You're telling me, Colonel,
331
00:30:22.720 --> 00:30:29.160
you and your man heard the voice. The whole affair is unbelievable. Your
332
00:30:29.240 --> 00:30:32.400
patient is still asleep, so I
haven't had the chance to tell her that.
333
00:30:32.480 --> 00:30:37.359
Indeed, I also heard the voice. You, colonel, You've got
334
00:30:37.359 --> 00:30:41.160
an epidemic in your house. This
will never do, you know, And
335
00:30:41.240 --> 00:30:44.960
so far as I can make out, you're in on it too, Yes,
336
00:30:45.079 --> 00:30:48.599
I am. Doctor. Yesterday you
had some doubts about Rowena. There
337
00:30:48.640 --> 00:30:52.960
is nothing to doubt. I heard
the same voice she did that frightened her,
338
00:30:53.119 --> 00:30:56.359
saying the same things. It's all
true. I never thought the young
339
00:30:56.440 --> 00:31:03.039
lady are for it. She has
a cerebral excitement a fever. I don't
340
00:31:03.079 --> 00:31:07.079
know what you've got. I have
only fifteen more minutes, so I shall
341
00:31:07.079 --> 00:31:15.160
have to go up and see your
daughter. Well, how did you find
342
00:31:15.160 --> 00:31:21.039
that? I regret to say,
no improvement, yet she appears quite lucid.
343
00:31:21.400 --> 00:31:23.680
That's something I don't know how she'll
react when I tell her that both
344
00:31:23.839 --> 00:31:27.880
Javis and I heard the voice she
keeps speaking of. I thought I would
345
00:31:27.880 --> 00:31:32.880
wait until after you visit. You
don't have to wait. She elaborated on
346
00:31:32.960 --> 00:31:37.119
it with me. She says,
practically the same thing you told me knocking
347
00:31:37.160 --> 00:31:42.519
on the door, mother, let
me in. It's an epidemic, an
348
00:31:42.519 --> 00:31:48.559
epidemic of seeing and believing. Yes, no, a brain fever. There
349
00:31:48.640 --> 00:31:53.440
is no accounting for the freaks our
brains are subject to. It's a delusion.
350
00:31:55.039 --> 00:31:59.359
It's some trick of the echoes of
the winds making noises in the deserted
351
00:31:59.359 --> 00:32:02.240
direct of a house doctor, Stuart, I invite you to come with me
352
00:32:02.359 --> 00:32:07.799
tonight to those abandoned ruins and judge
for yourself what good would come of it.
353
00:32:07.319 --> 00:32:13.160
Even if I am convinced there is
somebody something out there, even if
354
00:32:13.240 --> 00:32:16.480
I saw it, let alone hear
it, I wouldn't believe it. You
355
00:32:16.559 --> 00:32:20.799
leave me with very little to say. Don't you want to know if there's
356
00:32:20.799 --> 00:32:27.720
any foundation to Rowena's so called fevered
imagination? All right, this evening,
357
00:32:28.200 --> 00:32:31.319
after my own's, I will stop
by you. If you can give me
358
00:32:31.359 --> 00:32:43.839
a bed for the night, I'll
be here by eleven, Rowena, I
359
00:32:43.920 --> 00:32:46.880
came up to tell you last night
I heard that poor voice crying out it's
360
00:32:46.880 --> 00:32:52.240
suffering, and so did Jarvis,
so clearly that he sainted. Oh no,
361
00:32:52.839 --> 00:32:58.400
tonight, I've persuaded doctor Stewart himself
to walk through the only standing door
362
00:32:58.440 --> 00:33:02.160
of the dur House wreckage. How
did you persuade him? He dismisses everything.
363
00:33:04.519 --> 00:33:07.680
Why do I believe it's my own
soul crying out to join mother because
364
00:33:07.759 --> 00:33:13.480
you loved her child. Until I
can prove to you who the voice is
365
00:33:13.640 --> 00:33:17.440
and why it suffers, you'll go
on believing it Arena. I assure you
366
00:33:17.559 --> 00:33:22.000
it is not your soul. It
can't be. Then why is it haunting
367
00:33:22.079 --> 00:33:27.160
us? Why do I hear it
over and over at night? It is
368
00:33:27.240 --> 00:33:32.599
not haunting us. We have invaded
its home. We are haunting it now.
369
00:33:32.640 --> 00:33:37.559
I've asked doctor Stewart of trying to
persuade the local reverend to come here.
370
00:33:37.079 --> 00:33:42.880
Yes, a priest or minister could
help my thinking exactly. Perhaps a
371
00:33:42.920 --> 00:33:46.440
man of the cloth can exorcize the
spirit and we'll be rid of it.
372
00:33:53.160 --> 00:33:58.599
How cross are we to the haunted
place? Anywhere around here? We felt
373
00:33:58.640 --> 00:34:02.559
its chill and heard its voice.
It's strongest by the dour house front door.
374
00:34:04.000 --> 00:34:08.440
It's still standing. I imagine it's
about all that does. Nothing lives
375
00:34:08.480 --> 00:34:16.480
there. But that's it is.
Now we'll keep walking. It will follow
376
00:34:16.599 --> 00:34:22.960
us. That wouldn't be you making
that noise, having a little fun with
377
00:34:22.039 --> 00:34:25.519
me, Factor Stewart, I swear
to you I'm doing nothing to create that
378
00:34:25.719 --> 00:34:32.559
sound. There will be more and
worse you'll see, Yes, of course,
379
00:34:34.280 --> 00:34:37.400
right, didn't I think of that
before? It's some poor animal caught
380
00:34:37.480 --> 00:34:40.599
in a trap. Now, why
don't we have a look at a busha
381
00:34:40.679 --> 00:34:45.400
stact. We go through this wall
right here to the old our house.
382
00:34:46.039 --> 00:34:52.119
You won't confuse the voice with an
animal there, and we open the front
383
00:34:52.159 --> 00:35:00.239
door and walk in not a very
pleasant place. Walk with me to the
384
00:35:00.239 --> 00:35:06.559
center of this room, will you
now? As nearly as I can reconstruct
385
00:35:06.599 --> 00:35:09.400
it? Doctor? While you and
I were in the main house waiting for
386
00:35:09.519 --> 00:35:15.800
Rowena's return, the storm broke,
remember, and in trying to get home
387
00:35:15.880 --> 00:35:22.239
as quickly as possible, she rode
her horse past that front door, and
388
00:35:22.440 --> 00:35:30.559
the sound she heard came from right
here. I impatiently waiting to hear it.
389
00:35:32.840 --> 00:35:37.400
How long do you suppose we will
have to wait? I don't know.
390
00:35:37.880 --> 00:35:43.639
I gather you're not interested in what
you've already heard his I heard the
391
00:35:43.800 --> 00:35:47.239
songs, but I'm not prepared to
agree they were super nutural. You think
392
00:35:47.360 --> 00:35:52.599
that moaning is the voice of the
wind, I'm waiting for it to say
393
00:35:52.679 --> 00:35:58.440
words. So it will it does, if you want my opinion, nothing's
394
00:35:58.519 --> 00:36:04.000
going to happen when there is a
skeptical person present. Tables don't rise,
395
00:36:04.400 --> 00:36:09.039
trumpets don't blow, pictures don't float, etc. Etc. The apparatus of
396
00:36:09.159 --> 00:36:15.400
ghostly apparitions seems to fail when the
doubting Thomas joins the group. Now,
397
00:36:15.440 --> 00:36:22.239
I have attended seances, spirit ratings. Whenever I am present, nothing happens.
398
00:36:22.280 --> 00:36:29.039
Sigh. I don't know why it's
taking so long. Javis and I
399
00:36:29.079 --> 00:36:32.239
had hardly crossed the floor and we
heard it. I'll wait, I said,
400
00:36:32.280 --> 00:36:36.400
I'd give it a fair chance.
It makes me look like a credulous
401
00:36:36.400 --> 00:36:40.360
fool, I guess it seems as
if tonight there isn't going to be an
402
00:36:40.440 --> 00:36:49.800
lady manifestation. That's what the mediums
call it, no manifestations in the presence
403
00:36:49.800 --> 00:36:52.559
of an unbeliever. It's almost midnight. Let's give it another few minutes.
404
00:36:53.079 --> 00:36:57.559
Of course, of course, take
as many minutes as you care to.
405
00:36:57.920 --> 00:37:01.639
Colonel Remotim your attitude? Isn't it
pleasant? If my daughter wasn't doing so
406
00:37:01.800 --> 00:37:07.119
poorly? I don't think i'd take
much more from you, doctor. Do
407
00:37:08.480 --> 00:37:17.880
you hear that it's coming towards us? I can't see you, but it's
408
00:37:17.920 --> 00:37:21.760
a thing. But do you hear
it? Admit that, doctor, you
409
00:37:21.840 --> 00:37:32.920
hear it? There, you are
satisfied, no question about it? Now?
410
00:37:34.039 --> 00:37:39.159
Is there? Does it? Does
it go on for long? I
411
00:37:39.199 --> 00:37:45.280
can't tell you. After a while
of pleading with its mother, it goes
412
00:37:45.320 --> 00:37:58.920
away crying and moaning. Well,
that's it, i'd say, until the
413
00:37:58.920 --> 00:38:02.400
next time. Well, doctor,
now, what do you think? I
414
00:38:02.480 --> 00:38:07.159
cannot tell you what I think?
There will start back to the house,
415
00:38:07.199 --> 00:38:12.679
So you have no opinion, or
if you have your keeping it to yourselves.
416
00:38:12.760 --> 00:38:15.960
I am mind you. I do
not believe a word of it,
417
00:38:16.599 --> 00:38:22.760
but I cannot tell you what I
think. Did you speak to the Reverend
418
00:38:22.800 --> 00:38:28.719
as I asked you to Moncrief.
Yes, he's going to visit you tomorrow
419
00:38:28.760 --> 00:38:31.480
evening. That's fine. I'm relieved
to hear that. But what do you
420
00:38:31.559 --> 00:38:37.199
think he can do? Bear in
mind, the Reverend Moncrief is not a
421
00:38:37.239 --> 00:38:42.400
young man. He's quite old.
In fact, he doesn't believe in witchcraft,
422
00:38:42.599 --> 00:38:52.079
you know. I am glad to
know that. Neither do I.
423
00:38:52.079 --> 00:38:54.159
I can't tell you, Reverend,
how grateful I am that you came here
424
00:38:54.159 --> 00:39:00.360
tonight with doctor Stuart Timer. I
am standing here in the mirror of the
425
00:39:00.519 --> 00:39:06.199
night to do what I can.
You just placed me with my lantern where
426
00:39:06.239 --> 00:39:09.880
you'd like me to watch and listen, right beside this door, which,
427
00:39:09.920 --> 00:39:15.119
as you see, was once the
Dollar House's front door. Now, Doctor,
428
00:39:15.199 --> 00:39:19.719
if you wish to help and not
mock, would you stand inside where
429
00:39:19.760 --> 00:39:23.320
we were last night thirty in the
name of science, I'll take my lantern
430
00:39:23.400 --> 00:39:28.920
and await the ghosts of Christmas past. Referend monttreeve. As I told you,
431
00:39:29.840 --> 00:39:34.519
something seems to be crying to its
mother to be let in. Now
432
00:39:34.519 --> 00:39:37.920
we have all heard it, even
the doctor, though he won't admit it.
433
00:39:38.079 --> 00:39:44.239
If indeed it is a spirit which
exists between heaven and Hell. I
434
00:39:44.320 --> 00:39:50.280
hope I shall also hear it,
then preserve us? Is that the creature
435
00:39:50.920 --> 00:40:09.320
that is more? Willie? Really
is that you, Wie? If it
436
00:40:09.480 --> 00:40:14.960
is you, if it is not
a delusion of satan? Willy lad?
437
00:40:15.880 --> 00:40:20.320
Why come you here, frightening them? That may you not? Why come
438
00:40:20.400 --> 00:40:24.760
you not to me? Is it
right to come here? Willie? Your
439
00:40:24.800 --> 00:40:30.239
mother's gone with your name and her
lips? Do you think she would ever
440
00:40:30.440 --> 00:40:35.239
close her door and her own?
Lad? Do you think the Lord will
441
00:40:35.239 --> 00:40:44.199
close the door? No? Why
forbid you? I forbid you? Cry
442
00:40:44.239 --> 00:40:50.360
no more? Go home, your
wondering spirit, Go home? Do you
443
00:40:50.599 --> 00:40:54.559
hear me, Willie? Me that
kissing you that has struggled with you?
444
00:40:55.320 --> 00:41:01.719
Let her wrestle, ye, for
with the Lord and her too? Poor
445
00:41:01.760 --> 00:41:07.760
woman, poor woman her, you're
calling upon her. She's not here,
446
00:41:07.840 --> 00:41:14.679
Willie. You'll find her with the
lad Go there and seek her. No
447
00:41:14.880 --> 00:41:19.840
here, do you hear, may
Willie? Go after her? There?
448
00:41:20.760 --> 00:41:24.159
No, it's very right. The
Lord will lye in. Willie. Take
449
00:41:24.280 --> 00:41:30.000
heart, if you may sob and
cry after her, Let appear at Heaven's
450
00:41:30.039 --> 00:41:44.079
gate. And no, your poor
mother's ruined door, Doctor, doctor Stewart,
451
00:41:45.039 --> 00:41:47.480
we can leave the house now,
there's nothing here to see anymore.
452
00:41:49.519 --> 00:41:54.840
Let's join the reverend. You know
I could hear him calling out, but
453
00:41:55.840 --> 00:42:00.800
it was also strange. I did
not know what the macme. How careful
454
00:42:00.880 --> 00:42:07.719
there? It's a foot from this
floor to the ground. It's all over,
455
00:42:07.840 --> 00:42:13.199
doctor, The pastor has returned to
the past. Where is the reverend
456
00:42:13.639 --> 00:42:20.400
over there on his knees praying?
Reverend? Do you believe the voice was
457
00:42:20.440 --> 00:42:27.480
a solely pulatory John? An old
man like me is sometimes they're very sure
458
00:42:27.559 --> 00:42:31.760
of what he believes. It is
only one he I'm certainly not, and
459
00:42:31.920 --> 00:42:37.960
that is the loving kindness of the
Lord. But how did you know who
460
00:42:38.079 --> 00:42:44.440
it was? How should I not
recognize a person I know better, far
461
00:42:44.719 --> 00:42:50.320
better than I know you. John. Let's go now and I tell you
462
00:42:50.400 --> 00:42:57.719
about who really was, and pray
at this moment he's fained eternal peace.
463
00:43:01.280 --> 00:43:05.480
Rowl. You have no idea how
good it does my heart to see you
464
00:43:05.599 --> 00:43:09.320
so flushed with health this morning.
I don't know why, but suddenly,
465
00:43:09.559 --> 00:43:15.440
over night all my fears had gone. Last night, the Reverend Moncreef recognized
466
00:43:15.440 --> 00:43:19.039
the voices that of a young man
who had been a productal Son fifty or
467
00:43:19.079 --> 00:43:22.159
so years ago. His mother had
been the housekeeper in the dour house and
468
00:43:22.199 --> 00:43:27.880
had suddenly died. The young man
Willie, came home the day after and
469
00:43:27.960 --> 00:43:30.519
threw himself against the door, begging
to be let in. There was no
470
00:43:30.559 --> 00:43:36.320
one home but his dead mother.
The family was away. The boy died
471
00:43:36.400 --> 00:43:39.920
at the door. It was there
the reverend found him and administered the last
472
00:43:40.000 --> 00:43:47.280
rites. Last night he dispossessed the
boy from earth. Sir, it's all
473
00:43:47.320 --> 00:43:52.320
over all in the past. Yes, Now you and I must do something
474
00:43:52.440 --> 00:43:58.840
positive about the present. We will, Father, But I wish I could
475
00:43:58.840 --> 00:44:04.280
have been with you last night when
that unhappy, suffering voice that spoke to
476
00:44:04.320 --> 00:44:24.199
me so clearly finally found peace.
I wish I had been there. The
477
00:44:24.280 --> 00:44:30.039
old minister had conducted a religious passage
for a wandering soul. I can just
478
00:44:30.079 --> 00:44:35.360
see him raising his arms in the
Scotch manner at the end of a Sunday
479
00:44:35.400 --> 00:44:40.360
service, giving benediction to the silent
earth, the dark woods, and the
480
00:44:40.440 --> 00:44:45.960
ruins of yesterday. Upon their blessing, the colonel and his daughter will have
481
00:44:46.119 --> 00:45:06.719
found a new life. I shall
return shortly. The unseen and the unknown
482
00:45:06.800 --> 00:45:10.159
have always intrigued me, and this
gives me an occasion to say a few
483
00:45:10.199 --> 00:45:17.559
appropriate lines from Hamlet, a part
which I unfortunately will never get to play.
484
00:45:19.400 --> 00:45:23.199
Be thou a spirit of Heath or
God and Damond, bring with the
485
00:45:23.239 --> 00:45:29.920
airs from heaven or blasts from hell? Be thy intense, wicked or charitable.
486
00:45:30.639 --> 00:45:36.440
There comes to such a questionable shape
that I will speak to thee that
487
00:45:36.719 --> 00:45:43.800
William Shakespeare he said everything before we
even thought of it. Our cast included
488
00:45:43.880 --> 00:45:49.840
Norman Rose, Thenard Grant, Earl
Hammond, and Maya Dylan. The entire
489
00:45:49.920 --> 00:45:53.599
production was under the direction of hiland
Down. Certainly gives you a lot to
490
00:45:53.639 --> 00:45:59.880
think about, would you agree?
My dream was that, oh, well,
491
00:46:00.079 --> 00:46:04.519
please, please, have a little
more to drink. It's cold down
492
00:46:04.559 --> 00:46:07.719
here, but it's warm in your
cup. Well, I suppose I have
493
00:46:07.760 --> 00:46:13.000
one more for you. You know, we're getting ready to enter the holiday
494
00:46:13.039 --> 00:46:21.960
seasons. I can't pretend I'm not
thrilled to spend the holidays with someone other
495
00:46:22.000 --> 00:46:30.400
than than me I used to be. So I'm very grateful you'll be here.
496
00:46:30.280 --> 00:46:36.440
You will be here, yes,
yes, in fact, maybe around
497
00:46:36.519 --> 00:46:42.800
Christmas time I'll find you a couple
extra stories, something to keep you in
498
00:46:42.840 --> 00:46:47.400
fear the whole holiday seasons. Seasons, but now this one, this one,
499
00:46:47.519 --> 00:46:52.199
well, it's called the fast One, isn't I think it's aptly titled.
500
00:46:52.199 --> 00:46:58.039
So put your feet up, your
stay a little while, and listen
501
00:46:58.239 --> 00:47:15.599
with me arch Obler's lights out,
everybody. We bring you stories of the
502
00:47:15.800 --> 00:47:22.280
supernatural and the super normal, dramatizing
the fantasies and the mysteries of the unknown.
503
00:47:23.320 --> 00:47:27.480
We tell you this frankly, so
that if you wish to avoid the
504
00:47:27.960 --> 00:47:31.920
excitement and tention of these imaginative plays, we urge you, calmly, but
505
00:47:32.039 --> 00:47:38.840
sincerely, to turn off your radio. Now. Who among us, and
506
00:47:38.960 --> 00:47:43.920
you're included, has not had the
dream, at one time or another,
507
00:47:44.559 --> 00:47:50.239
of being superior to his or her
fellow beings, to jump higher, to
508
00:47:50.360 --> 00:47:53.760
run faster, to dance better,
to be more beautiful. We've all run
509
00:47:53.800 --> 00:47:59.559
the gamut, all of us,
at various ages of standing out from the
510
00:47:59.679 --> 00:48:04.800
crowd of humanity. That's what our
story is about. Today, be different
511
00:48:04.880 --> 00:48:09.320
in a very special manner. And
now, if you haven't already done so,
512
00:48:10.920 --> 00:48:22.679
turn off your lights now. But
my dear mister Finn, five thousand
513
00:48:22.760 --> 00:48:28.239
dollars, five thousand dollars, five
thousand dollars, what do you think you're
514
00:48:28.280 --> 00:48:30.639
doing? Bidding in an auction sale. I am bidding for your services,
515
00:48:31.199 --> 00:48:36.400
and if a five thousand dollars retainer
isn't enough, by name your own price.
516
00:48:37.000 --> 00:48:40.199
I'm not here as an individual.
I'm the representative of a group of
517
00:48:40.199 --> 00:48:45.880
casualty insurance companies who handle practically all
of the burglary insurance in this entire area.
518
00:48:46.800 --> 00:48:51.320
Now, if you're that important,
talk important money, ten thousand dollars
519
00:48:51.400 --> 00:48:59.199
cash very well, I'll write your
check. Fend Detective Agency FNN, Yes,
520
00:48:59.280 --> 00:49:05.559
yes, yes, half a million
dollars sellar and broad daylight. No
521
00:49:05.679 --> 00:49:10.440
witnesses, very clever criminal, whoever
it is. But surely you don't believe
522
00:49:10.519 --> 00:49:15.559
only one man has committed all these
crimes. Whenever there is greatness, even
523
00:49:15.599 --> 00:49:22.519
in crime, the answer is a
man. One man. Twenty five places
524
00:49:22.679 --> 00:49:25.079
robbed, both sides of State Street, twenty five stores robbed in the space
525
00:49:25.079 --> 00:49:30.880
of thirty minutes, And you talk
of one man is very clever. No
526
00:49:30.119 --> 00:49:35.119
one man could rob twenty five places, spreading over a distance of three blocks
527
00:49:35.159 --> 00:49:37.840
in the space of thirty minutes.
No, of course, not thanks and
528
00:49:37.920 --> 00:49:43.599
department stores and loan companies, cash
registers cleaned out, and not a clue,
529
00:49:43.639 --> 00:49:46.360
not a witness. The devil alone
knows what this is all about.
530
00:49:47.320 --> 00:50:02.079
The devil along, said a marg. Oh, hello, chief, Yeah,
531
00:50:02.119 --> 00:50:07.079
he's been here two days in a
row. Yeah. All he looks
532
00:50:07.119 --> 00:50:09.599
at is the bodies of the hit
and run. He listen, Chief,
533
00:50:09.760 --> 00:50:15.920
here he comes now. Yeah,
okay, I'll try to find out.
534
00:50:15.880 --> 00:50:22.360
Yeah, I am mister Fenn early
today. Ain't you quickly show me the
535
00:50:22.400 --> 00:50:24.960
new ones? Yeah? Sure?
Why not? The same kind? Yes?
536
00:50:25.360 --> 00:50:37.800
Okay, this one's name is it's
on the tag here Morrison something relus
537
00:50:37.840 --> 00:50:43.000
ain't claimed him yet? Look at
him. It's mashed up pretty and you
538
00:50:43.119 --> 00:50:46.920
never knew what struck him. I'll
say he didn't the way that's got well,
539
00:50:46.960 --> 00:50:51.039
I bet you he went out just
like that. I no longer get
540
00:50:51.079 --> 00:50:53.719
interested in this one. Where's the
next coming up? Why'll I put this
541
00:50:53.800 --> 00:51:04.639
fellow back on ice? Let me
see where to put the dame? Oh?
542
00:51:04.760 --> 00:51:13.119
Yeah, here she is, kid. Whoever the rat was? His
543
00:51:13.239 --> 00:51:17.360
hair must have bust the front end
of his crate. Look at her in
544
00:51:17.599 --> 00:51:22.159
much of her left to tell who
she was is? The only identification on
545
00:51:22.239 --> 00:51:27.000
her was her first name in the
book. Let me see Libby. Yeah,
546
00:51:27.039 --> 00:51:30.840
that's what he was, Libby.
Gosh if this was my girlfriend and
547
00:51:30.920 --> 00:51:34.800
he hit and run rat did this? I'd find him even by mister Finn,
548
00:51:34.800 --> 00:51:39.719
what's the matter? What are you
laughing about? The girl's face it
549
00:51:40.039 --> 00:51:47.400
smashed it? What are you laughing
about? I know now, I know
550
00:51:55.679 --> 00:52:00.039
you? Hey you hold on there, I want to talk to you.
551
00:52:00.119 --> 00:52:05.360
Are you talking to me? Copper? A wise guy? H listen you?
552
00:52:05.440 --> 00:52:08.159
What's the idea cross examining everybody in
this neighborhood? Now just a minute
553
00:52:08.159 --> 00:52:10.320
before you start using that night's take
you? But I have a look at
554
00:52:10.320 --> 00:52:15.239
this? Why? Who are you
a private detection? How brilliant? Well
555
00:52:15.320 --> 00:52:17.400
know? How was I supposed to
know that? I do know? What?
556
00:52:17.480 --> 00:52:22.360
Now tell me this? What do
you know about the hit and run
557
00:52:22.400 --> 00:52:24.800
cases in this district? Oh?
That's bat sir? But what can I
558
00:52:24.840 --> 00:52:30.960
do? Drunken rats driving without lights
and giving no warm And we'll get him
559
00:52:30.960 --> 00:52:34.519
to later, believe me, we
will. What do you mean he's going
560
00:52:34.559 --> 00:52:38.000
to be ten squad cars touring this
district? Just a moment, one question?
561
00:52:39.079 --> 00:52:44.599
Have you been hearing any peculiar noises
on your beat? Noises like like
562
00:52:44.599 --> 00:52:47.960
an airplane motor when there wasn't anything
in the sky. And now you're a
563
00:52:49.039 --> 00:52:52.960
kidding me? Say, look at
the time, I better get moving and
564
00:52:52.079 --> 00:52:55.800
re beat it. The sergeant will
be shooting his mothough anything else I could
565
00:52:55.800 --> 00:52:59.920
tell you. Yes, this restaurant
we're in front of, does it go
566
00:53:00.079 --> 00:53:04.280
pleas to it? Yeah? Bill
Lewis's place is okay. He's up in
567
00:53:04.400 --> 00:53:07.599
Washington, but his wife's running it. Nothing like the Ritz, but he's
568
00:53:07.679 --> 00:53:21.519
okay. Well, I'll be seeing
you. You are mistaken. Well your
569
00:53:21.559 --> 00:53:27.920
head, sir, Nice dinner coffee
piece, a nice fresh pie, petrol
570
00:53:28.119 --> 00:53:37.679
peach, cherry apple. Yes,
sir, I beg your pardon. Where
571
00:53:37.719 --> 00:53:39.800
did you come from? I followed
you in. I wish to speak with
572
00:53:39.840 --> 00:53:43.320
you. I don't want to buy
anything. I am not selling, just
573
00:53:43.440 --> 00:53:46.719
like you. I am asking questions. I have been watching you all afternoon.
574
00:53:46.719 --> 00:53:50.719
You have been asking many questions on
that here. I am a bullievai,
575
00:53:50.920 --> 00:53:54.239
doctor Berline. I live in this
neighborhood. I am interested in whatever
576
00:53:54.280 --> 00:53:58.639
goes on in it. It doesn't
need you, doctor. Maybe you can
577
00:53:58.719 --> 00:54:04.440
tell me any unusual noises during a
late afternoon evening hours. Noise you couldn't
578
00:54:04.480 --> 00:54:10.199
quite locate or explain noises? What
noises? You are a detective? Why
579
00:54:10.199 --> 00:54:14.199
do you ask that? As a
physician. I pride myself for my powers
580
00:54:14.199 --> 00:54:20.280
of observation. You are a detective
here, my friend. Yes, then
581
00:54:20.440 --> 00:54:24.719
come with me. Do not raise
your voice. Now, this done in
582
00:54:24.800 --> 00:54:30.440
my pocket would kill you. Walk
slowly toward the door. Make no noise.
583
00:54:34.199 --> 00:54:38.440
Now open the door and step outside. I advise discretion. I will
584
00:54:38.440 --> 00:54:50.679
be close behind you. Now walk
beside me down the street. It's gune
585
00:54:50.719 --> 00:54:55.760
on your side, and law,
why do you laugh? Tell me I've
586
00:54:55.760 --> 00:55:02.239
been looking for you, doctor Bellini? Yeah? Why I must know your
587
00:55:02.280 --> 00:55:08.199
secret. I must very well.
But there is a price to pay.
588
00:55:08.360 --> 00:55:24.320
Price. What is your price?
There? So now we will not be
589
00:55:24.440 --> 00:55:30.519
disturbed. Mister hen Mark Finn Mark
Finn, the man who is willing to
590
00:55:30.599 --> 00:55:34.320
die to learn my secret. I'll
take my chances. Just tell me how
591
00:55:34.360 --> 00:55:37.480
did you do it? But first
I will ask you questions. You are
592
00:55:37.519 --> 00:55:39.400
either a very clever man, mister
Fenn, or a very lucky one.
593
00:55:39.920 --> 00:55:43.880
How did you suspect that there was
only one man? I knew it had
594
00:55:43.920 --> 00:55:46.199
to be one man? But how
did you correlate the missing money in the
595
00:55:46.280 --> 00:55:51.199
dead in the streets thirty minutes to
collect half a million and cover twenty five
596
00:55:51.239 --> 00:55:53.320
stars? I knew you'd have to
move fast. I think it's somebody to
597
00:55:53.320 --> 00:55:57.559
get hurt. You are very clever. You did do it in joy.
598
00:55:57.960 --> 00:56:00.679
Come I will show you. You
will be the first to know and the
599
00:56:00.760 --> 00:56:07.559
last. Here sit here yet,
Now what do you see in my hand?
600
00:56:07.639 --> 00:56:13.159
Mark fin I a bottle. It's
for a oil, not oil,
601
00:56:13.239 --> 00:56:16.039
you blind fool. Power the key
to the world. Listen to me,
602
00:56:16.119 --> 00:56:21.039
Mark fen One drop of this in
the world is mine. You believe,
603
00:56:21.079 --> 00:56:23.920
Mark Frien, You believe what I
tell you. But but what does that
604
00:56:23.960 --> 00:56:29.039
stuff do? You've got to tell
me. Speed? That's why it gives
605
00:56:29.079 --> 00:56:31.800
speed. Faster, faster, faster, every atom andy faster. You do
606
00:56:32.000 --> 00:56:37.159
believe, Mark Friend, You've got
to believe. But what I don't understand
607
00:56:37.199 --> 00:56:39.199
it? What does that stuff do
to me? Was you fool? I
608
00:56:39.199 --> 00:56:43.559
don't listen. But a speed,
that's what it gives me. Speed,
609
00:56:43.679 --> 00:56:47.000
Every physical process, every mental activity, it speeds them up ten twenty times
610
00:56:47.000 --> 00:56:52.639
to normerate, faster, faster,
every molecule. Listen, the average man
611
00:56:52.719 --> 00:56:58.199
walks three miles an hour. One
drop of this and I walk sixty miles
612
00:56:58.199 --> 00:57:01.360
an hour. Now you know my
secret, A chemical which speeds up my
613
00:57:01.400 --> 00:57:06.599
activities until I am a god.
The mong Man a throp of this one
614
00:57:06.719 --> 00:57:08.480
drop, and I walk and I
run, and I talk and I think
615
00:57:08.639 --> 00:57:13.039
twenty times faster than any other man
in the world. No, that that
616
00:57:13.159 --> 00:57:22.639
can't be. You know? Then
watch I drink the doctor? Doctor Blini?
617
00:57:24.280 --> 00:57:31.039
Or where are you doctor? Where
are you Blini? I've never seen
618
00:57:31.239 --> 00:57:49.840
anybody was talking about? Understand Blini? You went away? Where what happened
619
00:57:49.840 --> 00:58:00.159
to you? Why do you talk
like that? I to you? Or
620
00:58:01.480 --> 00:58:13.840
physical mentor processes being up? Wait
a second, chemical effect we're aware of
621
00:58:14.960 --> 00:58:22.559
completely that stuff. It makes you
talk fast? That is there? Effect
622
00:58:22.639 --> 00:58:25.400
is worn off and back to normal
rate again? Where did you go?
623
00:58:25.840 --> 00:58:30.440
Where to prove to you what I
say is true? Look what I have
624
00:58:30.519 --> 00:58:37.400
in my hand, diamonds, diamond
necklace. Where did you from the window
625
00:58:37.559 --> 00:58:42.800
that you'll restore three blocks away?
You? You were there and back in
626
00:58:42.840 --> 00:58:45.480
these few seconds, twenty times faster
than any man can run. I ran
627
00:58:45.559 --> 00:58:49.559
in those few seconds, twenty times
faster than any man can think. I
628
00:58:49.639 --> 00:58:54.800
thought in those few seconds. Now, now do you believe Mark, was
629
00:58:54.880 --> 00:58:58.960
you moving here one hundred miles an
hour to knock down those people and killed
630
00:58:59.039 --> 00:59:02.679
him because you moving so fast?
They were not hurt, for they were
631
00:59:04.159 --> 00:59:07.079
but not you. Yes, yes, yes it was I. It was
632
00:59:07.159 --> 00:59:09.880
you, moving so fast they couldn't
see you. Who took that half million
633
00:59:09.920 --> 00:59:15.559
in cash from those stories? Yes
me too, you, yes me,
634
00:59:17.119 --> 00:59:22.039
all my life. I've wanted Blini, the power you've got now, BERLINI
635
00:59:22.440 --> 00:59:28.960
I wanted to But why why should
I share it with you? Because I
636
00:59:28.960 --> 00:59:31.039
can help you? Yes, that's
it, I can help you. There's
637
00:59:31.079 --> 00:59:34.119
so much to do with you.
You can rule the world, but you
638
00:59:34.199 --> 00:59:37.639
cannot conquer it alone. You will
need help, and I'll need help you
639
00:59:37.719 --> 00:59:40.480
hear me, believe me. I'll
help you. I'll do anything you say,
640
00:59:40.519 --> 00:59:45.000
but you must let me do it
with the dream of all my life
641
00:59:45.079 --> 00:59:55.159
coming true power like my God.
Let me join your Berini. Let me,
642
00:59:57.320 --> 01:00:02.719
Yes, I need the man.
Thank you. Together we will have
643
01:00:04.000 --> 01:00:21.320
the worst. And I say to
you that this great and unprecedented crime way
644
01:00:21.400 --> 01:00:24.880
which is sweeping our city is due
entirely to the unholy alliance of crime and
645
01:00:24.960 --> 01:00:34.599
politics sweep the comforts out of others. And I tell you, I'm telling
646
01:00:34.599 --> 01:00:37.679
you, mister Mayor, I'm doing
everything I can do. I've sworn in
647
01:00:37.719 --> 01:00:45.440
a thousand extra deputies. I have
got the fourth Worster, And I tell
648
01:00:45.480 --> 01:00:50.400
you, fellow citizens. This alliance
of the underworld and their masters can never
649
01:00:50.440 --> 01:00:53.840
be broken until we the people take
madaic into our own hands, like the
650
01:00:53.920 --> 01:00:58.880
vigilancies of bold. We must rise
in our wrath and drive these vampires out
651
01:00:58.920 --> 01:01:14.840
of our versity. This trial is
a vampire. Our revolution is fot holy
652
01:01:15.000 --> 01:01:24.960
alliance of crime and body. This
we have done well in these ten days.
653
01:01:25.360 --> 01:01:35.000
Mark, we have ten million dollars. Nobody in the world of ellected
654
01:01:35.000 --> 01:01:37.320
money. That fact, it was
good letting you join me. I told
655
01:01:37.400 --> 01:01:44.239
you only places where money is,
you know, But it's not money alone.
656
01:01:44.280 --> 01:01:46.280
We want belini O. I know, I know. We have been
657
01:01:46.519 --> 01:01:51.840
just how do you say it?
Testing? Are wik And now we're ready
658
01:01:51.840 --> 01:01:54.880
to go. Yes, a new
concentrate on my chemical is ready. Today.
659
01:01:54.920 --> 01:01:59.760
We have taken the city tomorrow of
the world, the world. But
660
01:02:00.719 --> 01:02:04.000
while the city we have left behind
us boils and the madness we have brought
661
01:02:04.000 --> 01:02:14.039
to you and I we will arrest. You're laughing at why I was thinking
662
01:02:14.079 --> 01:02:19.559
of the fun I had this morning? Oh you mean when we liquidated your
663
01:02:19.679 --> 01:02:27.800
enemy dead, every mother's son of
them, everyone that ever left, Yes,
664
01:02:28.400 --> 01:02:31.880
every one of them. And you
go on to new triumphs they never
665
01:02:31.920 --> 01:02:36.440
knew where hit them. That's the
only trouble was moving so fast. Pallina,
666
01:02:36.519 --> 01:02:38.920
You mean when you struck them at
fifty times the normal ray. Yes,
667
01:02:39.039 --> 01:02:43.639
it was like hitting them with a
sixteen shell. Skulls smashed in like
668
01:02:43.719 --> 01:02:46.920
empty eggs, and you were disappointed
because your revenge was over too quickly,
669
01:02:46.960 --> 01:02:51.519
a mark friend. Yes, what
if I were to tell you that my
670
01:02:51.599 --> 01:02:54.199
new concentrates and one we will use
tomorrow when we arrive at the seat of
671
01:02:54.239 --> 01:02:58.639
your government in Washington. What if
I were to tell you that this new
672
01:02:58.679 --> 01:03:02.119
concentrate is in infinitely more powerful than
the one we have been using. How
673
01:03:02.199 --> 01:03:06.440
powerful? How can I be?
Listen? The one we have been using
674
01:03:06.480 --> 01:03:08.880
increases the physical and metal rate twenty
times? Is that not so? Yes,
675
01:03:09.000 --> 01:03:12.960
talk, walk, run and think
fifty times fast. So there you
676
01:03:13.000 --> 01:03:15.159
have with the new concentrate, talk, walk, think, and run an
677
01:03:15.280 --> 01:03:20.280
infinite number of times faster than north
You here, you mean, there's no
678
01:03:20.559 --> 01:03:24.199
limit nor limit. We move faster
as fast as we'll lie, say two
679
01:03:24.320 --> 01:03:28.239
hundred, three hundred, five hundred. The limit will be our desires of
680
01:03:28.320 --> 01:03:30.920
blow of light here or there the
next place, masters of men, because
681
01:03:30.960 --> 01:03:36.719
compared to us, men are snails
who crawl while we run masters of men.
682
01:03:36.840 --> 01:03:42.000
Look, hey, brought the butt. The new concentrate looks the same.
683
01:03:42.320 --> 01:03:46.280
Yes, shall we try some Mark? Then? Hey, I don't
684
01:03:46.280 --> 01:03:51.119
know. We must try it sometimes. Yes, it is the same basic
685
01:03:51.239 --> 01:03:53.920
formula as the other. Sure,
I do not ask you to do what
686
01:03:53.960 --> 01:03:59.400
I will not do myself. We
will take equal amounts and compare reactions.
687
01:04:00.039 --> 01:04:02.519
How much many have two drops each? I have two medicine droppers ready.
688
01:04:02.679 --> 01:04:05.599
Yes, the moment which one of
the drops, we will move toward them.
689
01:04:06.400 --> 01:04:11.880
You see that barn across the field. We meet there and see how
690
01:04:12.000 --> 01:04:16.519
fast we can move. You know
your drops, Mark Fan? I I
691
01:04:16.679 --> 01:04:21.679
surely are not afraid? My friend
afraid me? Well, no, of
692
01:04:21.719 --> 01:04:36.800
course not. You meet those drops
we'd bring together? Yes, okay,
693
01:04:42.039 --> 01:04:56.119
Mark, Mark Fan? Why?
Mark Fan? Why? What happened?
694
01:04:56.239 --> 01:05:05.039
I I am not quite sure that
the burn we're lying by the barn we
695
01:05:06.239 --> 01:05:14.039
did get here? Mark Fan?
Your clothes, my clothes? Well,
696
01:05:15.199 --> 01:05:21.440
I'm naked, lie too, Mark
Fan. Listen, we moved so quickly
697
01:05:21.559 --> 01:05:29.679
through the air our clothes were torn
off. Can you concentrate infinitely more powerful?
698
01:05:30.519 --> 01:05:34.599
We moved through the air at a
tremendous rate. Hundreds of miles,
699
01:05:35.800 --> 01:05:45.199
Lenny, what your lips they're not
moving? And yet I hear your lips
700
01:05:46.199 --> 01:05:53.559
they do not move either, And
yet I hear you too. That cannot
701
01:05:53.639 --> 01:06:00.039
be. What is it, Leinie? Our reactions the concentrate speeded them up
702
01:06:00.079 --> 01:06:05.559
so intensely. We read each other's
thoughts. No, no, do not
703
01:06:05.800 --> 01:06:14.239
move when I reconcentrate. It was
too powerful. We must lie quietly until
704
01:06:14.280 --> 01:06:24.440
its effects whereof Yes, But Blinie, then why are you looking at me
705
01:06:24.679 --> 01:06:31.840
like that? Your face? My
my face? Some things happening to it?
706
01:06:32.119 --> 01:06:39.519
Fat? Speak up? What is
wrong with my face? What your
707
01:06:40.840 --> 01:06:49.400
your face? Creases in it?
Line and yours? That's what's happening to
708
01:06:49.559 --> 01:07:00.760
yours? Bleinie, If you Leanie, what's happening? Tell me age?
709
01:07:01.599 --> 01:07:11.519
That is it? Age? Age? We are aging? We are age
710
01:07:11.679 --> 01:07:18.400
gen aging? What are you talking
about? Concentrate our physical reactions. They
711
01:07:18.440 --> 01:07:26.079
have been speeded up too much.
Tell me what's that got to duration?
712
01:07:26.559 --> 01:07:32.519
To me? The concentrate. It
has speeded up our life processes to infinity.
713
01:07:33.599 --> 01:07:43.880
Every second? Is aging us?
A year? Every second? No?
714
01:07:43.880 --> 01:07:48.480
No, I'm a young man,
Belie. You're lying. I'm not
715
01:07:48.800 --> 01:07:58.639
getting older. I'm not. I'm
not. We are dying. Marl Fan
716
01:08:00.119 --> 01:08:18.479
die die you life, believe I
won't die. I would dead, and
717
01:08:18.680 --> 01:08:29.239
yet disolution works on in his flesh. Becky, no, no, no,
718
01:08:29.239 --> 01:08:34.319
no, no no, I cannot
die, Master of men, I
719
01:08:34.520 --> 01:09:20.720
cannot die, Master of the Oh
it is later then you thing a little
720
01:09:20.760 --> 01:09:26.640
record to listen to as we wrap
up the night. You know, I'm
721
01:09:26.680 --> 01:09:30.920
so glad you came to visit.
But now, my dear, the sun
722
01:09:30.000 --> 01:09:33.479
is going to be coming up soon. You need to return to where you
723
01:09:33.600 --> 01:09:39.079
come from, and well I need
to return to where I come from.
724
01:09:39.439 --> 01:09:44.359
But as you make your way back
to your warm, beautiful home, as
725
01:09:44.399 --> 01:09:49.159
you lay your head down on your
soft down pillow and prepare to nod off
726
01:09:49.199 --> 01:09:58.520
to sleep, just take one moment, one infinesible moment, and before you
727
01:09:58.640 --> 01:10:03.399
head to the land of now,
just please, I beg of you.
728
01:10:04.920 --> 01:10:13.319
Take a deep breath and be thankful, thankful for what you have, and
729
01:10:13.439 --> 01:10:40.279
I'll see you back here next time.
1
00:00:09.599 --> 00:00:12.919
Well, hello, a, my
dear, so happy you could join me.
2
00:00:13.759 --> 00:00:18.519
Oh what's that? Well, I
suppose the thing I'm most thankful for
3
00:00:18.719 --> 00:00:24.600
is this time you and I get
to spend together together. Yes, what's
4
00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:28.000
that? Oh no, no,
no, no, no, no turkey
5
00:00:28.079 --> 00:00:33.000
around here, No no. I
prefer to relax with the simple things in
6
00:00:33.039 --> 00:00:38.000
life, A hot cup of tea
and something something to chune me from the
7
00:00:38.039 --> 00:00:45.560
inside out, even though down here
it's really quite cold. I don't know.
8
00:00:46.119 --> 00:00:52.200
There's something about being fear. I
find it simply cozy, cozy,
9
00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:58.119
and I suppose you do too,
because here you are. Well. This
10
00:00:58.200 --> 00:01:02.320
story I've always enjoyed, and it
reminds me a bit of well, uh
11
00:01:03.119 --> 00:01:10.599
myself. It's called the Voice that
Wouldn't die. In some ways that's true
12
00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:15.920
and in some ways not so much. But I think you'll enjoy it quite
13
00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:19.239
a bit. So relax. I'll
put on a pot of tea and we'll
14
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:23.760
get right to Oh what's that?
Oh no, no, no, no,
15
00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:30.280
no, don't worry about them at
all. The CBS Radio Mystery criticism
16
00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:57.040
come in. Welcome. I'm temmy
grind. I wish there was another way
17
00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:00.879
of saying what I'm about to say, but I can't think of it right
18
00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:07.159
now. What I want to say
is I just love the mysteriousness of the
19
00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:13.439
mystery. Did things one can't really
explain, like things that go bump in
20
00:02:13.479 --> 00:02:19.560
the night, Know what I mean? All right? Some people prefer murdering
21
00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:23.520
me, but I like to be
scared, which is what today's story goes
22
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:30.000
to me and I hope will do
to you. Johny, Do you hear
23
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:34.919
something cry? Some kind? There
it is again? Do you hear that
24
00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:40.639
yetel? I can feel it?
Who's there? Who is it that the
25
00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:46.400
klonel? Something cold is creeping over
me, Sir fits into my pair and
26
00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:52.919
that's gone down to my feet,
Sarah, I can't move, I can't
27
00:02:53.080 --> 00:03:07.879
move. My drama, The Voice
that Wouldn't Die was adapted especially for the
28
00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:13.919
Mystery Theater by G. Frederick Lewis
and stars Norman Rose As. She returned
29
00:03:13.960 --> 00:03:38.159
shortly with Act one. The original
story of Today's Mystery Theater adaptation was printed
30
00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:43.719
at Blackwood's magazine one hundred and one
years ago. I mentioned this because I
31
00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:47.439
don't think the events are about to
hear could happen today. They just couldn't.
32
00:03:49.479 --> 00:03:54.240
So try to imagine a big stone
house in Scotland. Standing on neglected
33
00:03:54.319 --> 00:04:01.680
parkland, thick with prickly gorse and
bracken, abandoned flower beds and tangos underbrush.
34
00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:09.199
At the back a long break wall
overgrown with creepers, behind which lie
35
00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:15.000
the falling ruins of a wooden house. Got the picture. Now let's take
36
00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:17.680
a look at the people, Doctor
Stuart. This old house was the ideal
37
00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:21.600
solution for my daughter and myself.
When Rowena and I moved in, it
38
00:04:21.639 --> 00:04:26.720
was in a sorry state as well. You remember it's been a long time
39
00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:30.399
since anyone lived here at broad Book. I've only rented it by the year.
40
00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:32.720
I wouldn't buy it, mind you. It needs too much done to
41
00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:36.639
it. The roof leaks, the
plumbing leaks, doors won't closed, windows
42
00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:44.120
were open, but Rowena doors Scotland
the moors of India. I'm not surprised
43
00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:47.920
we're comfortable. I brought along a
house boy and my Indian cooked and of
44
00:04:47.959 --> 00:04:51.360
course Jarvis, who was my batman
in the army and has taken care of
45
00:04:51.439 --> 00:04:57.600
us always. And the horses.
Don't tell me you brought your horses all
46
00:04:57.639 --> 00:05:00.560
the way from India and why not? And that taking to Scotland as well
47
00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:04.079
as they did the similar I've never
heard of such a thing. After my
48
00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:09.600
wife died, I realized Rowena needed
some link with her old life, and
49
00:05:09.639 --> 00:05:13.399
since she's been riding from the time
she was six, I felt it was
50
00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:17.079
worth the trouble and expense to bring
our horses to Scotland a little more brand.
51
00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:25.560
I wish Rowena weren't out. She
knows this time of year sudden storms
52
00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:29.040
come up, but she insists on
riding the moors for hours every day.
53
00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:33.199
I don't know how you Scottish stand
this weather. Girl, you've never known
54
00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:39.519
anything else. Well, here's your
brandy. We are just the opposite weather
55
00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:44.519
in similar intense heat, well over
one hundred degrees in the shade. Yet
56
00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:48.120
Rowena was out every day riding back. Now that I've retired from the service,
57
00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:51.680
I want her to get a good
education. Riding isn't everything, you
58
00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:57.680
know, Edinburger is a stone.
Sorow here to get a good education in
59
00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:01.800
any of their schools. Old is
your daughter. She was just seventeen when
60
00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:06.879
my wife died. In another three
months, Rowena will be eighteen. Will
61
00:06:06.920 --> 00:06:12.120
you listen to that, Amy,
Sorowena has arrived at the stables, Colonel,
62
00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:15.879
I think yes, you should know
she she's in a frockful stage.
63
00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:18.600
So I was still telling me she's
been in an exodust, not that I
64
00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:23.279
know, but she's beside herself with
fear and trembling. Now I don't know
65
00:06:23.319 --> 00:06:28.079
what happened to her out on the
moors. She's absolutely white, for blood
66
00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:39.879
drained from her face. Sir,
Father, Father hicks you up? He
67
00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:45.879
his harful, Come child, you're
shooting all over. I was riding a
68
00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:49.920
hurricane and it started to rain,
and instead of taking the usual path,
69
00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:56.160
I cut through the back between the
brick wall and those old ruins the our
70
00:06:56.240 --> 00:07:02.639
house. She's fainted. I have
some medication in my back. Can you
71
00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:05.439
carry it up to a room?
Of course, yes, I'll just fetch
72
00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:10.279
my back and follow you upstairs,
the first room on the right Rowhen,
73
00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:14.120
Oh, good lord, seeing thing
has happen to your mother? She heard
74
00:07:14.199 --> 00:07:17.639
something one night? Oh child,
wake up please, I'm away father.
75
00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:24.959
What did mother hear? Was it
just before she died? I didn't realize
76
00:07:25.000 --> 00:07:28.040
you could hear me. Now,
come along, let's let's stand up.
77
00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:32.160
I want to know, father,
and I want you to go upstairs.
78
00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:36.160
You've had enough excitement for one day. We have plenty of time to talk
79
00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:41.160
about your mother. You never told
me why she died, father, No,
80
00:07:41.959 --> 00:07:45.920
I never really knew. They said
it was a disease pecure you to
81
00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:49.480
India, but it did seem to
begin after she'd had some kind of shock.
82
00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:53.920
But she never lived to tell me
what it was is. You don't
83
00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:57.879
do that. Oh, I thought
you were going to take it upstairs.
84
00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:16.120
I can go up alone. No, right, please, it is good
85
00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:20.160
of you to stay on. Doctor. I hope the supper was advocate.
86
00:08:20.759 --> 00:08:24.879
I was wondering if I shouldn't have
one more look at your daughter. She
87
00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:30.519
was sleeping soundly before we came to
the table. Good that I shouldn't bother
88
00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:33.120
her what I gave her to drink. You'd give her a good night's rest.
89
00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:37.679
Have you any idea what could have
caused such a violent outmist I heard
90
00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:43.320
no more than you did something that
happened while she was out riding. But
91
00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:48.440
what was it you were telling her
about her mother? I hadn't told her
92
00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:52.159
very much. Actually, I suppose
I should have to one day. The
93
00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:56.960
very first clue we had that anything
was wrong with my wife was one night
94
00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:03.919
when she told me she'd heard voices. Immediately she became quite feverish. He
95
00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:09.120
put it to bed, and she
died twenty four hours later. It's all
96
00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:13.840
quite mysterious and quite terrifying, and
now once more voice is a tear to
97
00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:18.240
our little family. Virtue. Worry. We'll pass, just as do our
98
00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:24.720
Scottish storms. Right now, the
skies are clear, the moon is high,
99
00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:30.840
the storm has blown out to sea. I feel certain it's only temporary,
100
00:09:30.919 --> 00:09:35.440
not just to it. Something does
it to him? Perhaps you can
101
00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:39.240
help anything. Do you know of
a minister in the area I might talk
102
00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:45.519
with when life throws these mysterious surprises
that you it never hurts to have Taven
103
00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:50.840
on your side. But Reverend Moncliffe
lives quite near me. If he's still
104
00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:54.879
awake, I will stop by tonight. He is quite old, but I'll
105
00:09:54.879 --> 00:10:01.159
try to persuade him to pay you
a visit and perhaps speak to your You're
106
00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:05.080
the most reassuring individual. Thank you, I would say. At this moment,
107
00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:11.440
both Rowena and I need all the
comfort and spiritual help we can get.
108
00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:22.960
Believe me in everyone Monkeys. I
wouldn't have disturbed ye this hour if
109
00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:28.360
I didn't think the situation of Colonel
Mortimer and his daughter most strange. Hyde
110
00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:31.559
say that, John, I say
strange for what of a better word.
111
00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:35.600
There's no doubt in my mind whatsoever. The young lady is suffering from an
112
00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:41.320
extreme shock to her nervous system,
and his voice is yes, said she
113
00:10:41.480 --> 00:10:46.000
heard. As I returned to the
room, I heard her exclaim she was
114
00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:52.200
hearing her voice again, and she
kept saying, go away, go away.
115
00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:56.919
Do you know exactly where she heard
them? She was outbriding. I
116
00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:03.879
think somewhere near Bradwood. They rented
brad Moore, have they for a year?
117
00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:09.399
I believe it's in terrible condition that
the colonel and sister comfortable. It's
118
00:11:09.480 --> 00:11:15.320
been some time that tragedy. You
mean the doorhouse at the back of the
119
00:11:15.399 --> 00:11:20.080
property that burned down. Of course, coming from India, he probably hasn't
120
00:11:20.159 --> 00:11:26.000
yet heard anything about it in the
neighborhood. It's rather ancient history before my
121
00:11:26.120 --> 00:11:31.080
time. I dare say, Well, the Colonel is very anxious to meet
122
00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:35.120
you, but I think until his
daughter is well enough to get up,
123
00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:41.000
if you could spare the time and
dropping some day, so I shall consult
124
00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:45.799
my calendar and I'll go the best
I can. Thank you for stopping by,
125
00:11:45.919 --> 00:12:00.120
John. Mother, Mother, let
me in, please, yes,
126
00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:11.080
Mother, let me in, please. Child, you're having a nightmare.
127
00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:16.519
What is it? Father? Is
that you? Of course it's me.
128
00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:22.200
Are you all right? I don't
know? You were crying out in your
129
00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:26.320
sleep? I could hear you down
the hall in my room. I was,
130
00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:31.960
Yes. Don't you remember what was
I saying? Something about your mother?
131
00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:37.039
Can you remember exactly? Father?
I'm asking to please tell me.
132
00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:41.679
It's important. I don't remember exactly. I think it was let me in.
133
00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:46.000
Yes, that was it, I
said, mother, let me in.
134
00:12:46.320 --> 00:12:50.759
Yes, that's what it was.
Oh, then it's true. It's
135
00:12:50.799 --> 00:12:56.200
all true, true, child,
It doesn't matter. Father. You mustn't
136
00:12:56.279 --> 00:13:01.519
keep thinking about your mother. I
wasn't. No. I know somehow she's
137
00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:07.000
still alive in your mind what they
called the unconscious. You must accept the
138
00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:13.519
fact that she's dead. I do. I know that you were dreaming about
139
00:13:13.559 --> 00:13:16.840
her, weren't you? No?
I wasn't. I don't know what I
140
00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:20.519
was dreaming. This are writers?
You don't wish to tell me? Well,
141
00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:24.799
there's nothing to tell I mean nothing
I could tell you that I haven't
142
00:13:24.840 --> 00:13:28.440
already. Thank you for coming into
my room to see if I was all
143
00:13:28.519 --> 00:13:35.120
right. I think I'll be able
to get back to sleep now. Goena,
144
00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:39.399
Yes, my darling, little girl, I do love you, so
145
00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:54.360
you're all I've got, yes,
father, good night, top of the
146
00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:58.360
morning to your knels. You're up, earliter, Good morning, Jarvis.
147
00:13:58.440 --> 00:14:01.720
I didn't we think well. I'm
sorry to hear that, Sir Jos.
148
00:14:01.879 --> 00:14:05.159
I've come by the stables to have
a look at my daughter's horse, Hurricane.
149
00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:09.200
I'm glad you have, Colonel,
Sir, tell the truth. After
150
00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:13.559
yesterday, I don't think he'll be
much good for riding. What happened then?
151
00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:16.759
To let me see? Yeah,
this way, colonel, so,
152
00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:20.559
I've had to move him from his
usual stall to the one at the end.
153
00:14:20.679 --> 00:14:24.600
You did yes when mister Roweena brought
him in and that storm, remember
154
00:14:24.639 --> 00:14:28.840
Sad kicked up such a row.
I thought he'd start a stable ride I
155
00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:37.639
did. There is a hurricane.
Look at him, my lord, are
156
00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:43.840
you Hurricane? Old boy? That's
a good fellow John. His eyes,
157
00:14:45.399 --> 00:14:48.240
his eyes, You'll see the fear
in them right off, don't you,
158
00:14:48.320 --> 00:14:50.720
sir. And it's a good twelve
hours since mister Rowena brought him back to
159
00:14:50.759 --> 00:14:56.600
the stables. You should have seen
him then kamblin like a leaf. I've
160
00:14:56.639 --> 00:15:00.600
never seen an arsenal I fit like
that in my LIFETI in his eyes,
161
00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:03.879
no questioner this horse. I'm telling
you, sir, this horse was acting
162
00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:07.759
up like a runaway, as though
the devil himself was behind him. He
163
00:15:07.799 --> 00:15:13.159
certainly doesn't look like him. Look
look out there right, he's kicking at
164
00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:18.879
the stall door by hope, a
hose before I came suing. Stop back,
165
00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:22.039
stand well back, So stand well
back. Don't think he's gone bad
166
00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:41.519
turn I can't handle. Sometimes it
happened a horse will lose its domesticated sense
167
00:15:41.919 --> 00:15:48.759
and revert to the original round animal. Feral and untamed fear can control almost
168
00:15:48.799 --> 00:15:54.200
any living creature. And something is
most definitely frightened both horse and rider Rorena.
169
00:15:54.799 --> 00:16:18.600
But what we should learn more?
When I returned shortly to Colonel Henry
170
00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:23.440
Mortimer, recently widowed and retired from
the British forces in India, has emigrated
171
00:16:23.480 --> 00:16:29.559
to Scotland with his daughter Rowena,
and settled in an old house called Broadmoor
172
00:16:30.080 --> 00:16:34.000
outside of Edinburgh. Last night,
Rowena returned from a ride, having heard
173
00:16:34.080 --> 00:16:40.399
voices which so frightened her that the
local doctor had to attend to her.
174
00:16:41.120 --> 00:16:45.440
He is with her now, I'm
perfectly all right, doctor. I wish
175
00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:48.480
you'd let me get up out of
bed. This morning. I cannot take
176
00:16:48.519 --> 00:16:52.440
your purse of you keep moving about
and talking? May I ask if you're
177
00:16:52.519 --> 00:16:56.600
life still? Rowen? That doos? The doctor says, it's only time
178
00:16:56.679 --> 00:17:02.000
to help. Thank you, my
dear. Would you step outside the room
179
00:17:02.039 --> 00:17:04.160
with me for a moment? May
I get up now? May she not
180
00:17:04.480 --> 00:17:07.599
do it? I'd like to have
a word with your father and then I
181
00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:17.319
will decide. This is so annoying
girl. Your daughter's purse is too fast
182
00:17:17.359 --> 00:17:22.440
for a young lady her age.
She appears to be suppressing some form of
183
00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:27.519
excitement or terror. Possibly it could
also be some far Eastern disease I am
184
00:17:27.559 --> 00:17:32.759
not familiar with that she could have
picked up before you left India. The
185
00:17:32.839 --> 00:17:38.000
girl is too pale and has a
temperature. I recommend she remain quietly until
186
00:17:38.039 --> 00:17:45.960
this subsides for how long? Certainly
another forty eight hours? I understand,
187
00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:48.759
of course, And thank you again. I'll drop in to see her again
188
00:17:48.799 --> 00:17:53.839
tomorrow. Oh, doctor Stewart,
is there anything in particular rowna should or
189
00:17:53.920 --> 00:18:00.279
should not eat anything she has a
mind to or an appetite for? Would
190
00:18:00.279 --> 00:18:07.279
see what is the verdict? Father? Will I live or die? Rowena?
191
00:18:07.400 --> 00:18:11.000
Don't mock doctor Stuart. He's examined
me everywhere, but where the trouble
192
00:18:11.119 --> 00:18:17.640
lies? Oh, and where is
that inside my head? He told me
193
00:18:17.720 --> 00:18:22.079
that you'd better remain quiet for a
day or two. Father, Before you
194
00:18:22.160 --> 00:18:26.240
and the doctor came in. This
morning, I heard Hurricane cry out in
195
00:18:26.319 --> 00:18:30.480
the stable. I know that horse. I've ridden him at home and similar
196
00:18:30.480 --> 00:18:36.000
and here on the moors. But
hearing that cry of his, he's suffering.
197
00:18:36.200 --> 00:18:38.599
Know what you're going to say,
Yes, Hurricane is still nervy from
198
00:18:38.599 --> 00:18:42.200
your ride last night, but Javis
has him back in his stall now and
199
00:18:42.279 --> 00:18:45.880
calmed down. That's not what I
was going to say at all. I
200
00:18:45.960 --> 00:18:51.200
was going to say. Now,
will you believe me that what scared me
201
00:18:51.279 --> 00:18:56.839
to death was some kind of a
disembodied voice, just one voice, not
202
00:18:56.000 --> 00:19:03.640
more, just one. It's seemed
to surround me. And then it was
203
00:19:03.880 --> 00:19:07.200
also as if it came from under
the ground. I see. Can you
204
00:19:07.279 --> 00:19:15.279
remember where right outside that wrecked old
house, the dour house, not possibly
205
00:19:15.319 --> 00:19:22.160
in your imagination and Hurricanes, that's
my point. We both heard it at
206
00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:26.039
the same time. And if I
hadn't rained him in hard and held on,
207
00:19:26.640 --> 00:19:29.759
he'd have pitched me right over his
head. Roina, you said last
208
00:19:29.839 --> 00:19:36.799
night the voice said distinguishable words.
It did, let me in, let
209
00:19:36.880 --> 00:19:41.160
me in. All last night I
kept waking up and hearing it again,
210
00:19:41.720 --> 00:19:47.920
the same voice. Then at five, as soon as the cock crowed,
211
00:19:48.039 --> 00:19:51.920
it stopped. I never heard a
thing, Rowena, and I'm two doors
212
00:19:51.960 --> 00:19:56.400
down from you. Father. Are
you saying it didn't happen because you didn't
213
00:19:56.440 --> 00:20:03.799
hear it? There is something unearthly
out crying for help, and nobody seems
214
00:20:03.799 --> 00:20:07.559
to care. Weena, be sensible. The rain was coming down, there
215
00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:11.440
was thunder and lightning enough to frighten
any horse and rider, and above all
216
00:20:11.480 --> 00:20:15.759
this dim you heard of voice?
How can you say whether it was natural
217
00:20:15.880 --> 00:20:21.960
or unnatural. I don't want to
talk about it anymore. It's tiring for
218
00:20:22.039 --> 00:20:26.599
me to keep on and on about
it. Father. Would you draw the
219
00:20:26.599 --> 00:20:30.279
curtains again so I can sleep?
I can't tell you the worst part.
220
00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:37.680
So what's the use? Ena?
Don't shut me out. I told you
221
00:20:37.759 --> 00:20:42.759
before what the voice said, but
you chose not to repeat it. Let
222
00:20:42.799 --> 00:20:48.119
me in, let me in.
Yes, don't you see what it means?
223
00:20:48.240 --> 00:20:53.519
That voice has something to do with
mother, my mother, something to
224
00:20:53.599 --> 00:20:59.240
do with the sudden way she died. How can you say that there is
225
00:20:59.279 --> 00:21:03.960
no connection. Who isn't there?
A voice cries out, and I hear
226
00:21:03.039 --> 00:21:08.480
it. I keep hearing it all
through the night. It was intended for
227
00:21:08.559 --> 00:21:15.680
me to hear it, begging mother
to be let in. It's the voice
228
00:21:15.160 --> 00:21:21.119
of my own soul. Father.
Don't you see, no, child,
229
00:21:21.200 --> 00:21:25.480
I do not. Oh. I
didn't want my mother to die. My
230
00:21:25.640 --> 00:21:30.960
heart didn't, my soul didn't.
And the morning you came and told me
231
00:21:30.079 --> 00:21:33.599
she had died in the night.
Do you remember, do you, father?
232
00:21:34.160 --> 00:21:37.799
Yes, I do. You wouldn't
get up, you remained in bed.
233
00:21:38.319 --> 00:21:41.559
And the next day I am the
nished. I wouldn't get up because
234
00:21:41.720 --> 00:21:47.960
I wanted to die too, just
as mother had during night. Oh,
235
00:21:48.680 --> 00:21:53.680
yes I did. I wanted to
be with mother. And so now we
236
00:21:53.759 --> 00:22:00.680
have left her buried there in similar
but my soul must have remained with her.
237
00:22:02.640 --> 00:22:07.160
What I heard yesterday and all night
was the voice of my own soul
238
00:22:07.559 --> 00:22:11.839
begging mother to let me be with
her. Oh, my darling child,
239
00:22:12.599 --> 00:22:18.160
don't think that. Oh I mean
it. Father. If it means I
240
00:22:18.279 --> 00:22:23.559
have to die, then I will. I heard my own soul begging mother
241
00:22:23.680 --> 00:22:30.319
to take me with her. And
that's why, even here in this room
242
00:22:30.599 --> 00:22:37.160
all last night, I could hear
that voice saying, mother, Mother,
243
00:22:37.640 --> 00:22:42.920
let me in Rowena, Let me
make this compact with you until I have
244
00:22:44.000 --> 00:22:48.279
satisfied myself it isn't somebody prowling round
out there and even calling up during the
245
00:22:48.359 --> 00:22:53.640
night. Will you reject the idea
that the voice has anything to do with
246
00:22:55.079 --> 00:23:00.279
your soul? Oh? How can
I so far fetched? Really? I
247
00:23:00.400 --> 00:23:03.279
believe you heard a voice, but
I am hoping there's a reason for it
248
00:23:03.400 --> 00:23:10.039
unconnected with your soul. Now this
evening, Jarvis and I will take lanterns
249
00:23:10.079 --> 00:23:14.880
and go out there to try to
find a rational explanation. At least you
250
00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:18.200
don't think I've made all this up? Well, why would you do that?
251
00:23:18.400 --> 00:23:22.559
Something has alarmed you. There is
no doubt about that, and I'm
252
00:23:22.559 --> 00:23:34.599
certainly going to try and find out
what it is. We'd better go single
253
00:23:34.759 --> 00:23:38.519
fire along here, Javison. The
path is too narrow. Would you like
254
00:23:38.599 --> 00:23:41.839
me to turn up the wicking or
lanterns up make it brighter? No,
255
00:23:41.960 --> 00:23:45.519
it's fine, it is. I
can see quite well with it. Do
256
00:23:45.519 --> 00:23:51.440
you have a good flame on yours? Too? Which? Why are you
257
00:23:51.599 --> 00:23:56.359
heading? My daughter tells me what
frightened her came from somewhere near the old
258
00:23:56.400 --> 00:24:02.160
Dollar House, that ruin up ahead
on the moment, gloomy about here,
259
00:24:02.279 --> 00:24:07.880
isn't it? Wait? I think
I hear something. Do you hear that
260
00:24:08.119 --> 00:24:15.559
sound, Jovison, Mount Jovison?
Do you hear it as though someone were
261
00:24:15.599 --> 00:24:22.799
standing right there? Jovis? I
didn't figure it, Colonel, I did
262
00:24:22.960 --> 00:24:29.799
most certainly hear it. Yes,
who's there? Is that? The Colonel?
263
00:24:30.119 --> 00:24:33.720
Kind of sun and cold? Its
creeping out with me. It's up
264
00:24:33.799 --> 00:24:37.759
into my hair and compare back of
my neck, and now it's gone down
265
00:24:37.799 --> 00:24:42.559
to my feet, Sir, I
can't know your imagine, Travis. Let's
266
00:24:42.599 --> 00:24:48.200
get closer to those ruins. I
suddenly realized who could be playing these games
267
00:24:48.200 --> 00:24:55.799
with us? Jarvis poachers? Yes, I could trying to make off with
268
00:24:55.839 --> 00:24:59.440
some of our deer or foul or
anything. After all, no one's been
269
00:24:59.480 --> 00:25:03.519
living it for more for quite some
time. They could have spotted Rowena heading
270
00:25:03.519 --> 00:25:07.000
for home and she got too close
to them, and they pretended this ghost
271
00:25:07.119 --> 00:25:11.079
boys. Yes, I said,
that's certainly that possibility. Yes, do
272
00:25:11.079 --> 00:25:15.079
you know I've never actually come this
far on the property. But there's a
273
00:25:15.160 --> 00:25:19.720
brick war along here somewherees, isn't
there? Yes, Colonel? So separating
274
00:25:19.920 --> 00:25:25.359
broad more from the dour house.
If you don't mind, I'd rather not
275
00:25:25.519 --> 00:25:29.039
set foot in that old place.
Why not? It could be the very
276
00:25:29.039 --> 00:25:30.359
place for poachers hide out. Oh
no, no, no, no,
277
00:25:30.440 --> 00:25:34.319
not like aisha. There's no roof, has a few walls, I'm told,
278
00:25:34.319 --> 00:25:38.000
the fat doors still standing. It
was all warded, and there's there
279
00:25:38.039 --> 00:25:42.319
was a big fire there years ago. The place was practically burned down.
280
00:25:45.079 --> 00:25:48.799
There seems to be. But yes, there is, there's an opening in
281
00:25:48.799 --> 00:25:52.400
the war. I'm holding my lantern
as high as I can now there's a
282
00:25:52.480 --> 00:25:56.920
house. I can see the ruins
from here, can you. But supposing
283
00:25:57.240 --> 00:26:02.720
they are in there, I'm going
in, Jarvis, follow me. Keep
284
00:26:02.759 --> 00:26:06.720
your eyes open and your wits about
you. But sir, suppose there's a
285
00:26:06.759 --> 00:26:11.319
whole gang of him in there,
What could we just two do against them?
286
00:26:11.920 --> 00:26:15.400
It couldn't get white tilled morning and
what we'll call the police. Jarvis,
287
00:26:15.400 --> 00:26:17.960
you don't have to follow me if
you don't wish to. But I
288
00:26:18.039 --> 00:26:21.039
have a sick dove back at the
house. At this very moment, she
289
00:26:21.119 --> 00:26:25.839
has convinced something unearthly frightened her and
her horse Rowena is not going to get
290
00:26:25.880 --> 00:26:29.200
over this shock until I can prove
to her. What she heard is quite
291
00:26:29.359 --> 00:26:34.559
human and nothing to be alarmed about. What's what? Jovis sits an owl?
292
00:26:36.319 --> 00:26:41.880
Now I'm walking in. I'm right
behind you, Sir, seems silly
293
00:26:42.279 --> 00:26:47.480
pushing the front door open when one
could walk through the wall the whote event
294
00:26:47.599 --> 00:26:52.880
and hire Jervis as I'm doing.
Are lasting? That's better. We're inside
295
00:26:52.960 --> 00:26:56.920
the dower house, or what's left
of it, and I can't see a
296
00:26:57.000 --> 00:27:03.960
living soul. Lawyer, get up
that up that's up there, hanging upside
297
00:27:03.039 --> 00:27:08.079
down from the rafters. There are
and I'm looking for something that doesn't fly
298
00:27:08.960 --> 00:27:15.680
but walks and talks. O Lord, there is a noise. It's real
299
00:27:17.680 --> 00:27:22.799
Heaven helpers. Jarvis, what's what
you're doing with that lantern you drafted in?
300
00:27:23.759 --> 00:27:26.799
Sorry? What is it? I
don't know any more than you do,
301
00:27:26.960 --> 00:27:30.200
Jarvis. Will you pick your lantern
up? We need all the light
302
00:27:30.240 --> 00:27:33.960
here we can have. I'll pick
it up and I'll light it from the
303
00:27:33.039 --> 00:27:37.799
way. Yes, yes, yes, colonel, say yes, and I
304
00:27:37.880 --> 00:27:44.400
hold it right side up, bring
it closer. That's moaning sounds to my
305
00:27:44.680 --> 00:27:48.400
right. You remain in this spot
and I'll walk over there where I thought
306
00:27:48.440 --> 00:27:53.160
it went. Let's see, there's
a stairs there. Can you see bar
307
00:27:53.240 --> 00:27:59.200
take your lantern. If it's mortal
and goes up those stairs, I shall
308
00:27:59.200 --> 00:28:03.920
follow it. I can't we stay
together, colonel said, who are you,
309
00:28:06.079 --> 00:28:08.440
Jovis? You stay right here until
I come back. Pull yourself together
310
00:28:08.480 --> 00:28:11.759
with your men. Let nothing get
past you. And no, no,
311
00:28:11.920 --> 00:28:15.200
I'm sorry that I can't stay down
here alone. Now I'll come with you,
312
00:28:15.480 --> 00:28:18.480
and if you like, we can
come back here together. I'll follow
313
00:28:18.519 --> 00:28:22.279
you. I'll be right behind you
all the way up the stairs. Please,
314
00:28:22.400 --> 00:28:30.000
Colonel, don't ask me to remain
down here alone. Is let you
315
00:28:30.279 --> 00:28:36.039
making that sound? Colonels, have
that knocking for where I'm standing here at
316
00:28:36.039 --> 00:28:38.119
the top of the stairs. I'd
say that knocking comes from down where we
317
00:28:38.119 --> 00:28:42.640
were. Someone we're knocking up the
front door. No, no, no,
318
00:28:42.839 --> 00:28:49.920
I'm not going back down now.
You cut that jobs. Joys of
319
00:28:51.079 --> 00:28:55.000
the fool is fainted on the stairs
in the name of the Lord. Who
320
00:28:55.039 --> 00:29:15.400
are you? What? God?
There can be no doubt now that the
321
00:29:15.480 --> 00:29:21.880
voice speaks for what can only be
an unseen and suffering spirit. The colonel
322
00:29:22.039 --> 00:29:26.279
has had enough investigating for one night. I can't blame him, so have
323
00:29:26.359 --> 00:29:30.559
I. He brings Javis to and
manages to get the both of them back
324
00:29:30.599 --> 00:29:36.240
to the house, and shortly,
I promise you I'll be getting back to
325
00:29:36.279 --> 00:29:57.200
you with Act three. In American
Corners, Gartland, where a hundred years
326
00:29:57.240 --> 00:30:03.640
ago most people believed in goo and
ghosties and long legged beasties and things that
327
00:30:03.720 --> 00:30:07.960
go bump in the knife, Rowena, the colonel's daughter, lies illing dead,
328
00:30:08.680 --> 00:30:12.799
believing the voice of her own soul
is spoken to her. Her father,
329
00:30:12.920 --> 00:30:18.640
the colonel, has also heard that
voice. It is morning, and
330
00:30:18.759 --> 00:30:22.519
doctor Stewart rives to check on his
patient. You're telling me, Colonel,
331
00:30:22.720 --> 00:30:29.160
you and your man heard the voice. The whole affair is unbelievable. Your
332
00:30:29.240 --> 00:30:32.400
patient is still asleep, so I
haven't had the chance to tell her that.
333
00:30:32.480 --> 00:30:37.359
Indeed, I also heard the voice. You, colonel, You've got
334
00:30:37.359 --> 00:30:41.160
an epidemic in your house. This
will never do, you know, And
335
00:30:41.240 --> 00:30:44.960
so far as I can make out, you're in on it too, Yes,
336
00:30:45.079 --> 00:30:48.599
I am. Doctor. Yesterday you
had some doubts about Rowena. There
337
00:30:48.640 --> 00:30:52.960
is nothing to doubt. I heard
the same voice she did that frightened her,
338
00:30:53.119 --> 00:30:56.359
saying the same things. It's all
true. I never thought the young
339
00:30:56.440 --> 00:31:03.039
lady are for it. She has
a cerebral excitement a fever. I don't
340
00:31:03.079 --> 00:31:07.079
know what you've got. I have
only fifteen more minutes, so I shall
341
00:31:07.079 --> 00:31:15.160
have to go up and see your
daughter. Well, how did you find
342
00:31:15.160 --> 00:31:21.039
that? I regret to say,
no improvement, yet she appears quite lucid.
343
00:31:21.400 --> 00:31:23.680
That's something I don't know how she'll
react when I tell her that both
344
00:31:23.839 --> 00:31:27.880
Javis and I heard the voice she
keeps speaking of. I thought I would
345
00:31:27.880 --> 00:31:32.880
wait until after you visit. You
don't have to wait. She elaborated on
346
00:31:32.960 --> 00:31:37.119
it with me. She says,
practically the same thing you told me knocking
347
00:31:37.160 --> 00:31:42.519
on the door, mother, let
me in. It's an epidemic, an
348
00:31:42.519 --> 00:31:48.559
epidemic of seeing and believing. Yes, no, a brain fever. There
349
00:31:48.640 --> 00:31:53.440
is no accounting for the freaks our
brains are subject to. It's a delusion.
350
00:31:55.039 --> 00:31:59.359
It's some trick of the echoes of
the winds making noises in the deserted
351
00:31:59.359 --> 00:32:02.240
direct of a house doctor, Stuart, I invite you to come with me
352
00:32:02.359 --> 00:32:07.799
tonight to those abandoned ruins and judge
for yourself what good would come of it.
353
00:32:07.319 --> 00:32:13.160
Even if I am convinced there is
somebody something out there, even if
354
00:32:13.240 --> 00:32:16.480
I saw it, let alone hear
it, I wouldn't believe it. You
355
00:32:16.559 --> 00:32:20.799
leave me with very little to say. Don't you want to know if there's
356
00:32:20.799 --> 00:32:27.720
any foundation to Rowena's so called fevered
imagination? All right, this evening,
357
00:32:28.200 --> 00:32:31.319
after my own's, I will stop
by you. If you can give me
358
00:32:31.359 --> 00:32:43.839
a bed for the night, I'll
be here by eleven, Rowena, I
359
00:32:43.920 --> 00:32:46.880
came up to tell you last night
I heard that poor voice crying out it's
360
00:32:46.880 --> 00:32:52.240
suffering, and so did Jarvis,
so clearly that he sainted. Oh no,
361
00:32:52.839 --> 00:32:58.400
tonight, I've persuaded doctor Stewart himself
to walk through the only standing door
362
00:32:58.440 --> 00:33:02.160
of the dur House wreckage. How
did you persuade him? He dismisses everything.
363
00:33:04.519 --> 00:33:07.680
Why do I believe it's my own
soul crying out to join mother because
364
00:33:07.759 --> 00:33:13.480
you loved her child. Until I
can prove to you who the voice is
365
00:33:13.640 --> 00:33:17.440
and why it suffers, you'll go
on believing it Arena. I assure you
366
00:33:17.559 --> 00:33:22.000
it is not your soul. It
can't be. Then why is it haunting
367
00:33:22.079 --> 00:33:27.160
us? Why do I hear it
over and over at night? It is
368
00:33:27.240 --> 00:33:32.599
not haunting us. We have invaded
its home. We are haunting it now.
369
00:33:32.640 --> 00:33:37.559
I've asked doctor Stewart of trying to
persuade the local reverend to come here.
370
00:33:37.079 --> 00:33:42.880
Yes, a priest or minister could
help my thinking exactly. Perhaps a
371
00:33:42.920 --> 00:33:46.440
man of the cloth can exorcize the
spirit and we'll be rid of it.
372
00:33:53.160 --> 00:33:58.599
How cross are we to the haunted
place? Anywhere around here? We felt
373
00:33:58.640 --> 00:34:02.559
its chill and heard its voice.
It's strongest by the dour house front door.
374
00:34:04.000 --> 00:34:08.440
It's still standing. I imagine it's
about all that does. Nothing lives
375
00:34:08.480 --> 00:34:16.480
there. But that's it is.
Now we'll keep walking. It will follow
376
00:34:16.599 --> 00:34:22.960
us. That wouldn't be you making
that noise, having a little fun with
377
00:34:22.039 --> 00:34:25.519
me, Factor Stewart, I swear
to you I'm doing nothing to create that
378
00:34:25.719 --> 00:34:32.559
sound. There will be more and
worse you'll see, Yes, of course,
379
00:34:34.280 --> 00:34:37.400
right, didn't I think of that
before? It's some poor animal caught
380
00:34:37.480 --> 00:34:40.599
in a trap. Now, why
don't we have a look at a busha
381
00:34:40.679 --> 00:34:45.400
stact. We go through this wall
right here to the old our house.
382
00:34:46.039 --> 00:34:52.119
You won't confuse the voice with an
animal there, and we open the front
383
00:34:52.159 --> 00:35:00.239
door and walk in not a very
pleasant place. Walk with me to the
384
00:35:00.239 --> 00:35:06.559
center of this room, will you
now? As nearly as I can reconstruct
385
00:35:06.599 --> 00:35:09.400
it? Doctor? While you and
I were in the main house waiting for
386
00:35:09.519 --> 00:35:15.800
Rowena's return, the storm broke,
remember, and in trying to get home
387
00:35:15.880 --> 00:35:22.239
as quickly as possible, she rode
her horse past that front door, and
388
00:35:22.440 --> 00:35:30.559
the sound she heard came from right
here. I impatiently waiting to hear it.
389
00:35:32.840 --> 00:35:37.400
How long do you suppose we will
have to wait? I don't know.
390
00:35:37.880 --> 00:35:43.639
I gather you're not interested in what
you've already heard his I heard the
391
00:35:43.800 --> 00:35:47.239
songs, but I'm not prepared to
agree they were super nutural. You think
392
00:35:47.360 --> 00:35:52.599
that moaning is the voice of the
wind, I'm waiting for it to say
393
00:35:52.679 --> 00:35:58.440
words. So it will it does, if you want my opinion, nothing's
394
00:35:58.519 --> 00:36:04.000
going to happen when there is a
skeptical person present. Tables don't rise,
395
00:36:04.400 --> 00:36:09.039
trumpets don't blow, pictures don't float, etc. Etc. The apparatus of
396
00:36:09.159 --> 00:36:15.400
ghostly apparitions seems to fail when the
doubting Thomas joins the group. Now,
397
00:36:15.440 --> 00:36:22.239
I have attended seances, spirit ratings. Whenever I am present, nothing happens.
398
00:36:22.280 --> 00:36:29.039
Sigh. I don't know why it's
taking so long. Javis and I
399
00:36:29.079 --> 00:36:32.239
had hardly crossed the floor and we
heard it. I'll wait, I said,
400
00:36:32.280 --> 00:36:36.400
I'd give it a fair chance.
It makes me look like a credulous
401
00:36:36.400 --> 00:36:40.360
fool, I guess it seems as
if tonight there isn't going to be an
402
00:36:40.440 --> 00:36:49.800
lady manifestation. That's what the mediums
call it, no manifestations in the presence
403
00:36:49.800 --> 00:36:52.559
of an unbeliever. It's almost midnight. Let's give it another few minutes.
404
00:36:53.079 --> 00:36:57.559
Of course, of course, take
as many minutes as you care to.
405
00:36:57.920 --> 00:37:01.639
Colonel Remotim your attitude? Isn't it
pleasant? If my daughter wasn't doing so
406
00:37:01.800 --> 00:37:07.119
poorly? I don't think i'd take
much more from you, doctor. Do
407
00:37:08.480 --> 00:37:17.880
you hear that it's coming towards us? I can't see you, but it's
408
00:37:17.920 --> 00:37:21.760
a thing. But do you hear
it? Admit that, doctor, you
409
00:37:21.840 --> 00:37:32.920
hear it? There, you are
satisfied, no question about it? Now?
410
00:37:34.039 --> 00:37:39.159
Is there? Does it? Does
it go on for long? I
411
00:37:39.199 --> 00:37:45.280
can't tell you. After a while
of pleading with its mother, it goes
412
00:37:45.320 --> 00:37:58.920
away crying and moaning. Well,
that's it, i'd say, until the
413
00:37:58.920 --> 00:38:02.400
next time. Well, doctor,
now, what do you think? I
414
00:38:02.480 --> 00:38:07.159
cannot tell you what I think?
There will start back to the house,
415
00:38:07.199 --> 00:38:12.679
So you have no opinion, or
if you have your keeping it to yourselves.
416
00:38:12.760 --> 00:38:15.960
I am mind you. I do
not believe a word of it,
417
00:38:16.599 --> 00:38:22.760
but I cannot tell you what I
think. Did you speak to the Reverend
418
00:38:22.800 --> 00:38:28.719
as I asked you to Moncrief.
Yes, he's going to visit you tomorrow
419
00:38:28.760 --> 00:38:31.480
evening. That's fine. I'm relieved
to hear that. But what do you
420
00:38:31.559 --> 00:38:37.199
think he can do? Bear in
mind, the Reverend Moncrief is not a
421
00:38:37.239 --> 00:38:42.400
young man. He's quite old.
In fact, he doesn't believe in witchcraft,
422
00:38:42.599 --> 00:38:52.079
you know. I am glad to
know that. Neither do I.
423
00:38:52.079 --> 00:38:54.159
I can't tell you, Reverend,
how grateful I am that you came here
424
00:38:54.159 --> 00:39:00.360
tonight with doctor Stuart Timer. I
am standing here in the mirror of the
425
00:39:00.519 --> 00:39:06.199
night to do what I can.
You just placed me with my lantern where
426
00:39:06.239 --> 00:39:09.880
you'd like me to watch and listen, right beside this door, which,
427
00:39:09.920 --> 00:39:15.119
as you see, was once the
Dollar House's front door. Now, Doctor,
428
00:39:15.199 --> 00:39:19.719
if you wish to help and not
mock, would you stand inside where
429
00:39:19.760 --> 00:39:23.320
we were last night thirty in the
name of science, I'll take my lantern
430
00:39:23.400 --> 00:39:28.920
and await the ghosts of Christmas past. Referend monttreeve. As I told you,
431
00:39:29.840 --> 00:39:34.519
something seems to be crying to its
mother to be let in. Now
432
00:39:34.519 --> 00:39:37.920
we have all heard it, even
the doctor, though he won't admit it.
433
00:39:38.079 --> 00:39:44.239
If indeed it is a spirit which
exists between heaven and Hell. I
434
00:39:44.320 --> 00:39:50.280
hope I shall also hear it,
then preserve us? Is that the creature
435
00:39:50.920 --> 00:40:09.320
that is more? Willie? Really
is that you, Wie? If it
436
00:40:09.480 --> 00:40:14.960
is you, if it is not
a delusion of satan? Willy lad?
437
00:40:15.880 --> 00:40:20.320
Why come you here, frightening them? That may you not? Why come
438
00:40:20.400 --> 00:40:24.760
you not to me? Is it
right to come here? Willie? Your
439
00:40:24.800 --> 00:40:30.239
mother's gone with your name and her
lips? Do you think she would ever
440
00:40:30.440 --> 00:40:35.239
close her door and her own?
Lad? Do you think the Lord will
441
00:40:35.239 --> 00:40:44.199
close the door? No? Why
forbid you? I forbid you? Cry
442
00:40:44.239 --> 00:40:50.360
no more? Go home, your
wondering spirit, Go home? Do you
443
00:40:50.599 --> 00:40:54.559
hear me, Willie? Me that
kissing you that has struggled with you?
444
00:40:55.320 --> 00:41:01.719
Let her wrestle, ye, for
with the Lord and her too? Poor
445
00:41:01.760 --> 00:41:07.760
woman, poor woman her, you're
calling upon her. She's not here,
446
00:41:07.840 --> 00:41:14.679
Willie. You'll find her with the
lad Go there and seek her. No
447
00:41:14.880 --> 00:41:19.840
here, do you hear, may
Willie? Go after her? There?
448
00:41:20.760 --> 00:41:24.159
No, it's very right. The
Lord will lye in. Willie. Take
449
00:41:24.280 --> 00:41:30.000
heart, if you may sob and
cry after her, Let appear at Heaven's
450
00:41:30.039 --> 00:41:44.079
gate. And no, your poor
mother's ruined door, Doctor, doctor Stewart,
451
00:41:45.039 --> 00:41:47.480
we can leave the house now,
there's nothing here to see anymore.
452
00:41:49.519 --> 00:41:54.840
Let's join the reverend. You know
I could hear him calling out, but
453
00:41:55.840 --> 00:42:00.800
it was also strange. I did
not know what the macme. How careful
454
00:42:00.880 --> 00:42:07.719
there? It's a foot from this
floor to the ground. It's all over,
455
00:42:07.840 --> 00:42:13.199
doctor, The pastor has returned to
the past. Where is the reverend
456
00:42:13.639 --> 00:42:20.400
over there on his knees praying?
Reverend? Do you believe the voice was
457
00:42:20.440 --> 00:42:27.480
a solely pulatory John? An old
man like me is sometimes they're very sure
458
00:42:27.559 --> 00:42:31.760
of what he believes. It is
only one he I'm certainly not, and
459
00:42:31.920 --> 00:42:37.960
that is the loving kindness of the
Lord. But how did you know who
460
00:42:38.079 --> 00:42:44.440
it was? How should I not
recognize a person I know better, far
461
00:42:44.719 --> 00:42:50.320
better than I know you. John. Let's go now and I tell you
462
00:42:50.400 --> 00:42:57.719
about who really was, and pray
at this moment he's fained eternal peace.
463
00:43:01.280 --> 00:43:05.480
Rowl. You have no idea how
good it does my heart to see you
464
00:43:05.599 --> 00:43:09.320
so flushed with health this morning.
I don't know why, but suddenly,
465
00:43:09.559 --> 00:43:15.440
over night all my fears had gone. Last night, the Reverend Moncreef recognized
466
00:43:15.440 --> 00:43:19.039
the voices that of a young man
who had been a productal Son fifty or
467
00:43:19.079 --> 00:43:22.159
so years ago. His mother had
been the housekeeper in the dour house and
468
00:43:22.199 --> 00:43:27.880
had suddenly died. The young man
Willie, came home the day after and
469
00:43:27.960 --> 00:43:30.519
threw himself against the door, begging
to be let in. There was no
470
00:43:30.559 --> 00:43:36.320
one home but his dead mother.
The family was away. The boy died
471
00:43:36.400 --> 00:43:39.920
at the door. It was there
the reverend found him and administered the last
472
00:43:40.000 --> 00:43:47.280
rites. Last night he dispossessed the
boy from earth. Sir, it's all
473
00:43:47.320 --> 00:43:52.320
over all in the past. Yes, Now you and I must do something
474
00:43:52.440 --> 00:43:58.840
positive about the present. We will, Father, But I wish I could
475
00:43:58.840 --> 00:44:04.280
have been with you last night when
that unhappy, suffering voice that spoke to
476
00:44:04.320 --> 00:44:24.199
me so clearly finally found peace.
I wish I had been there. The
477
00:44:24.280 --> 00:44:30.039
old minister had conducted a religious passage
for a wandering soul. I can just
478
00:44:30.079 --> 00:44:35.360
see him raising his arms in the
Scotch manner at the end of a Sunday
479
00:44:35.400 --> 00:44:40.360
service, giving benediction to the silent
earth, the dark woods, and the
480
00:44:40.440 --> 00:44:45.960
ruins of yesterday. Upon their blessing, the colonel and his daughter will have
481
00:44:46.119 --> 00:45:06.719
found a new life. I shall
return shortly. The unseen and the unknown
482
00:45:06.800 --> 00:45:10.159
have always intrigued me, and this
gives me an occasion to say a few
483
00:45:10.199 --> 00:45:17.559
appropriate lines from Hamlet, a part
which I unfortunately will never get to play.
484
00:45:19.400 --> 00:45:23.199
Be thou a spirit of Heath or
God and Damond, bring with the
485
00:45:23.239 --> 00:45:29.920
airs from heaven or blasts from hell? Be thy intense, wicked or charitable.
486
00:45:30.639 --> 00:45:36.440
There comes to such a questionable shape
that I will speak to thee that
487
00:45:36.719 --> 00:45:43.800
William Shakespeare he said everything before we
even thought of it. Our cast included
488
00:45:43.880 --> 00:45:49.840
Norman Rose, Thenard Grant, Earl
Hammond, and Maya Dylan. The entire
489
00:45:49.920 --> 00:45:53.599
production was under the direction of hiland
Down. Certainly gives you a lot to
490
00:45:53.639 --> 00:45:59.880
think about, would you agree?
My dream was that, oh, well,
491
00:46:00.079 --> 00:46:04.519
please, please, have a little
more to drink. It's cold down
492
00:46:04.559 --> 00:46:07.719
here, but it's warm in your
cup. Well, I suppose I have
493
00:46:07.760 --> 00:46:13.000
one more for you. You know, we're getting ready to enter the holiday
494
00:46:13.039 --> 00:46:21.960
seasons. I can't pretend I'm not
thrilled to spend the holidays with someone other
495
00:46:22.000 --> 00:46:30.400
than than me I used to be. So I'm very grateful you'll be here.
496
00:46:30.280 --> 00:46:36.440
You will be here, yes,
yes, in fact, maybe around
497
00:46:36.519 --> 00:46:42.800
Christmas time I'll find you a couple
extra stories, something to keep you in
498
00:46:42.840 --> 00:46:47.400
fear the whole holiday seasons. Seasons, but now this one, this one,
499
00:46:47.519 --> 00:46:52.199
well, it's called the fast One, isn't I think it's aptly titled.
500
00:46:52.199 --> 00:46:58.039
So put your feet up, your
stay a little while, and listen
501
00:46:58.239 --> 00:47:15.599
with me arch Obler's lights out,
everybody. We bring you stories of the
502
00:47:15.800 --> 00:47:22.280
supernatural and the super normal, dramatizing
the fantasies and the mysteries of the unknown.
503
00:47:23.320 --> 00:47:27.480
We tell you this frankly, so
that if you wish to avoid the
504
00:47:27.960 --> 00:47:31.920
excitement and tention of these imaginative plays, we urge you, calmly, but
505
00:47:32.039 --> 00:47:38.840
sincerely, to turn off your radio. Now. Who among us, and
506
00:47:38.960 --> 00:47:43.920
you're included, has not had the
dream, at one time or another,
507
00:47:44.559 --> 00:47:50.239
of being superior to his or her
fellow beings, to jump higher, to
508
00:47:50.360 --> 00:47:53.760
run faster, to dance better,
to be more beautiful. We've all run
509
00:47:53.800 --> 00:47:59.559
the gamut, all of us,
at various ages of standing out from the
510
00:47:59.679 --> 00:48:04.800
crowd of humanity. That's what our
story is about. Today, be different
511
00:48:04.880 --> 00:48:09.320
in a very special manner. And
now, if you haven't already done so,
512
00:48:10.920 --> 00:48:22.679
turn off your lights now. But
my dear mister Finn, five thousand
513
00:48:22.760 --> 00:48:28.239
dollars, five thousand dollars, five
thousand dollars, what do you think you're
514
00:48:28.280 --> 00:48:30.639
doing? Bidding in an auction sale. I am bidding for your services,
515
00:48:31.199 --> 00:48:36.400
and if a five thousand dollars retainer
isn't enough, by name your own price.
516
00:48:37.000 --> 00:48:40.199
I'm not here as an individual.
I'm the representative of a group of
517
00:48:40.199 --> 00:48:45.880
casualty insurance companies who handle practically all
of the burglary insurance in this entire area.
518
00:48:46.800 --> 00:48:51.320
Now, if you're that important,
talk important money, ten thousand dollars
519
00:48:51.400 --> 00:48:59.199
cash very well, I'll write your
check. Fend Detective Agency FNN, Yes,
520
00:48:59.280 --> 00:49:05.559
yes, yes, half a million
dollars sellar and broad daylight. No
521
00:49:05.679 --> 00:49:10.440
witnesses, very clever criminal, whoever
it is. But surely you don't believe
522
00:49:10.519 --> 00:49:15.559
only one man has committed all these
crimes. Whenever there is greatness, even
523
00:49:15.599 --> 00:49:22.519
in crime, the answer is a
man. One man. Twenty five places
524
00:49:22.679 --> 00:49:25.079
robbed, both sides of State Street, twenty five stores robbed in the space
525
00:49:25.079 --> 00:49:30.880
of thirty minutes, And you talk
of one man is very clever. No
526
00:49:30.119 --> 00:49:35.119
one man could rob twenty five places, spreading over a distance of three blocks
527
00:49:35.159 --> 00:49:37.840
in the space of thirty minutes.
No, of course, not thanks and
528
00:49:37.920 --> 00:49:43.599
department stores and loan companies, cash
registers cleaned out, and not a clue,
529
00:49:43.639 --> 00:49:46.360
not a witness. The devil alone
knows what this is all about.
530
00:49:47.320 --> 00:50:02.079
The devil along, said a marg. Oh, hello, chief, Yeah,
531
00:50:02.119 --> 00:50:07.079
he's been here two days in a
row. Yeah. All he looks
532
00:50:07.119 --> 00:50:09.599
at is the bodies of the hit
and run. He listen, Chief,
533
00:50:09.760 --> 00:50:15.920
here he comes now. Yeah,
okay, I'll try to find out.
534
00:50:15.880 --> 00:50:22.360
Yeah, I am mister Fenn early
today. Ain't you quickly show me the
535
00:50:22.400 --> 00:50:24.960
new ones? Yeah? Sure?
Why not? The same kind? Yes?
536
00:50:25.360 --> 00:50:37.800
Okay, this one's name is it's
on the tag here Morrison something relus
537
00:50:37.840 --> 00:50:43.000
ain't claimed him yet? Look at
him. It's mashed up pretty and you
538
00:50:43.119 --> 00:50:46.920
never knew what struck him. I'll
say he didn't the way that's got well,
539
00:50:46.960 --> 00:50:51.039
I bet you he went out just
like that. I no longer get
540
00:50:51.079 --> 00:50:53.719
interested in this one. Where's the
next coming up? Why'll I put this
541
00:50:53.800 --> 00:51:04.639
fellow back on ice? Let me
see where to put the dame? Oh?
542
00:51:04.760 --> 00:51:13.119
Yeah, here she is, kid. Whoever the rat was? His
543
00:51:13.239 --> 00:51:17.360
hair must have bust the front end
of his crate. Look at her in
544
00:51:17.599 --> 00:51:22.159
much of her left to tell who
she was is? The only identification on
545
00:51:22.239 --> 00:51:27.000
her was her first name in the
book. Let me see Libby. Yeah,
546
00:51:27.039 --> 00:51:30.840
that's what he was, Libby.
Gosh if this was my girlfriend and
547
00:51:30.920 --> 00:51:34.800
he hit and run rat did this? I'd find him even by mister Finn,
548
00:51:34.800 --> 00:51:39.719
what's the matter? What are you
laughing about? The girl's face it
549
00:51:40.039 --> 00:51:47.400
smashed it? What are you laughing
about? I know now, I know
550
00:51:55.679 --> 00:52:00.039
you? Hey you hold on there, I want to talk to you.
551
00:52:00.119 --> 00:52:05.360
Are you talking to me? Copper? A wise guy? H listen you?
552
00:52:05.440 --> 00:52:08.159
What's the idea cross examining everybody in
this neighborhood? Now just a minute
553
00:52:08.159 --> 00:52:10.320
before you start using that night's take
you? But I have a look at
554
00:52:10.320 --> 00:52:15.239
this? Why? Who are you
a private detection? How brilliant? Well
555
00:52:15.320 --> 00:52:17.400
know? How was I supposed to
know that? I do know? What?
556
00:52:17.480 --> 00:52:22.360
Now tell me this? What do
you know about the hit and run
557
00:52:22.400 --> 00:52:24.800
cases in this district? Oh?
That's bat sir? But what can I
558
00:52:24.840 --> 00:52:30.960
do? Drunken rats driving without lights
and giving no warm And we'll get him
559
00:52:30.960 --> 00:52:34.519
to later, believe me, we
will. What do you mean he's going
560
00:52:34.559 --> 00:52:38.000
to be ten squad cars touring this
district? Just a moment, one question?
561
00:52:39.079 --> 00:52:44.599
Have you been hearing any peculiar noises
on your beat? Noises like like
562
00:52:44.599 --> 00:52:47.960
an airplane motor when there wasn't anything
in the sky. And now you're a
563
00:52:49.039 --> 00:52:52.960
kidding me? Say, look at
the time, I better get moving and
564
00:52:52.079 --> 00:52:55.800
re beat it. The sergeant will
be shooting his mothough anything else I could
565
00:52:55.800 --> 00:52:59.920
tell you. Yes, this restaurant
we're in front of, does it go
566
00:53:00.079 --> 00:53:04.280
pleas to it? Yeah? Bill
Lewis's place is okay. He's up in
567
00:53:04.400 --> 00:53:07.599
Washington, but his wife's running it. Nothing like the Ritz, but he's
568
00:53:07.679 --> 00:53:21.519
okay. Well, I'll be seeing
you. You are mistaken. Well your
569
00:53:21.559 --> 00:53:27.920
head, sir, Nice dinner coffee
piece, a nice fresh pie, petrol
570
00:53:28.119 --> 00:53:37.679
peach, cherry apple. Yes,
sir, I beg your pardon. Where
571
00:53:37.719 --> 00:53:39.800
did you come from? I followed
you in. I wish to speak with
572
00:53:39.840 --> 00:53:43.320
you. I don't want to buy
anything. I am not selling, just
573
00:53:43.440 --> 00:53:46.719
like you. I am asking questions. I have been watching you all afternoon.
574
00:53:46.719 --> 00:53:50.719
You have been asking many questions on
that here. I am a bullievai,
575
00:53:50.920 --> 00:53:54.239
doctor Berline. I live in this
neighborhood. I am interested in whatever
576
00:53:54.280 --> 00:53:58.639
goes on in it. It doesn't
need you, doctor. Maybe you can
577
00:53:58.719 --> 00:54:04.440
tell me any unusual noises during a
late afternoon evening hours. Noise you couldn't
578
00:54:04.480 --> 00:54:10.199
quite locate or explain noises? What
noises? You are a detective? Why
579
00:54:10.199 --> 00:54:14.199
do you ask that? As a
physician. I pride myself for my powers
580
00:54:14.199 --> 00:54:20.280
of observation. You are a detective
here, my friend. Yes, then
581
00:54:20.440 --> 00:54:24.719
come with me. Do not raise
your voice. Now, this done in
582
00:54:24.800 --> 00:54:30.440
my pocket would kill you. Walk
slowly toward the door. Make no noise.
583
00:54:34.199 --> 00:54:38.440
Now open the door and step outside. I advise discretion. I will
584
00:54:38.440 --> 00:54:50.679
be close behind you. Now walk
beside me down the street. It's gune
585
00:54:50.719 --> 00:54:55.760
on your side, and law,
why do you laugh? Tell me I've
586
00:54:55.760 --> 00:55:02.239
been looking for you, doctor Bellini? Yeah? Why I must know your
587
00:55:02.280 --> 00:55:08.199
secret. I must very well.
But there is a price to pay.
588
00:55:08.360 --> 00:55:24.320
Price. What is your price?
There? So now we will not be
589
00:55:24.440 --> 00:55:30.519
disturbed. Mister hen Mark Finn Mark
Finn, the man who is willing to
590
00:55:30.599 --> 00:55:34.320
die to learn my secret. I'll
take my chances. Just tell me how
591
00:55:34.360 --> 00:55:37.480
did you do it? But first
I will ask you questions. You are
592
00:55:37.519 --> 00:55:39.400
either a very clever man, mister
Fenn, or a very lucky one.
593
00:55:39.920 --> 00:55:43.880
How did you suspect that there was
only one man? I knew it had
594
00:55:43.920 --> 00:55:46.199
to be one man? But how
did you correlate the missing money in the
595
00:55:46.280 --> 00:55:51.199
dead in the streets thirty minutes to
collect half a million and cover twenty five
596
00:55:51.239 --> 00:55:53.320
stars? I knew you'd have to
move fast. I think it's somebody to
597
00:55:53.320 --> 00:55:57.559
get hurt. You are very clever. You did do it in joy.
598
00:55:57.960 --> 00:56:00.679
Come I will show you. You
will be the first to know and the
599
00:56:00.760 --> 00:56:07.559
last. Here sit here yet,
Now what do you see in my hand?
600
00:56:07.639 --> 00:56:13.159
Mark fin I a bottle. It's
for a oil, not oil,
601
00:56:13.239 --> 00:56:16.039
you blind fool. Power the key
to the world. Listen to me,
602
00:56:16.119 --> 00:56:21.039
Mark fen One drop of this in
the world is mine. You believe,
603
00:56:21.079 --> 00:56:23.920
Mark Frien, You believe what I
tell you. But but what does that
604
00:56:23.960 --> 00:56:29.039
stuff do? You've got to tell
me. Speed? That's why it gives
605
00:56:29.079 --> 00:56:31.800
speed. Faster, faster, faster, every atom andy faster. You do
606
00:56:32.000 --> 00:56:37.159
believe, Mark Friend, You've got
to believe. But what I don't understand
607
00:56:37.199 --> 00:56:39.199
it? What does that stuff do
to me? Was you fool? I
608
00:56:39.199 --> 00:56:43.559
don't listen. But a speed,
that's what it gives me. Speed,
609
00:56:43.679 --> 00:56:47.000
Every physical process, every mental activity, it speeds them up ten twenty times
610
00:56:47.000 --> 00:56:52.639
to normerate, faster, faster,
every molecule. Listen, the average man
611
00:56:52.719 --> 00:56:58.199
walks three miles an hour. One
drop of this and I walk sixty miles
612
00:56:58.199 --> 00:57:01.360
an hour. Now you know my
secret, A chemical which speeds up my
613
00:57:01.400 --> 00:57:06.599
activities until I am a god.
The mong Man a throp of this one
614
00:57:06.719 --> 00:57:08.480
drop, and I walk and I
run, and I talk and I think
615
00:57:08.639 --> 00:57:13.039
twenty times faster than any other man
in the world. No, that that
616
00:57:13.159 --> 00:57:22.639
can't be. You know? Then
watch I drink the doctor? Doctor Blini?
617
00:57:24.280 --> 00:57:31.039
Or where are you doctor? Where
are you Blini? I've never seen
618
00:57:31.239 --> 00:57:49.840
anybody was talking about? Understand Blini? You went away? Where what happened
619
00:57:49.840 --> 00:58:00.159
to you? Why do you talk
like that? I to you? Or
620
00:58:01.480 --> 00:58:13.840
physical mentor processes being up? Wait
a second, chemical effect we're aware of
621
00:58:14.960 --> 00:58:22.559
completely that stuff. It makes you
talk fast? That is there? Effect
622
00:58:22.639 --> 00:58:25.400
is worn off and back to normal
rate again? Where did you go?
623
00:58:25.840 --> 00:58:30.440
Where to prove to you what I
say is true? Look what I have
624
00:58:30.519 --> 00:58:37.400
in my hand, diamonds, diamond
necklace. Where did you from the window
625
00:58:37.559 --> 00:58:42.800
that you'll restore three blocks away?
You? You were there and back in
626
00:58:42.840 --> 00:58:45.480
these few seconds, twenty times faster
than any man can run. I ran
627
00:58:45.559 --> 00:58:49.559
in those few seconds, twenty times
faster than any man can think. I
628
00:58:49.639 --> 00:58:54.800
thought in those few seconds. Now, now do you believe Mark, was
629
00:58:54.880 --> 00:58:58.960
you moving here one hundred miles an
hour to knock down those people and killed
630
00:58:59.039 --> 00:59:02.679
him because you moving so fast?
They were not hurt, for they were
631
00:59:04.159 --> 00:59:07.079
but not you. Yes, yes, yes it was I. It was
632
00:59:07.159 --> 00:59:09.880
you, moving so fast they couldn't
see you. Who took that half million
633
00:59:09.920 --> 00:59:15.559
in cash from those stories? Yes
me too, you, yes me,
634
00:59:17.119 --> 00:59:22.039
all my life. I've wanted Blini, the power you've got now, BERLINI
635
00:59:22.440 --> 00:59:28.960
I wanted to But why why should
I share it with you? Because I
636
00:59:28.960 --> 00:59:31.039
can help you? Yes, that's
it, I can help you. There's
637
00:59:31.079 --> 00:59:34.119
so much to do with you.
You can rule the world, but you
638
00:59:34.199 --> 00:59:37.639
cannot conquer it alone. You will
need help, and I'll need help you
639
00:59:37.719 --> 00:59:40.480
hear me, believe me. I'll
help you. I'll do anything you say,
640
00:59:40.519 --> 00:59:45.000
but you must let me do it
with the dream of all my life
641
00:59:45.079 --> 00:59:55.159
coming true power like my God.
Let me join your Berini. Let me,
642
00:59:57.320 --> 01:00:02.719
Yes, I need the man.
Thank you. Together we will have
643
01:00:04.000 --> 01:00:21.320
the worst. And I say to
you that this great and unprecedented crime way
644
01:00:21.400 --> 01:00:24.880
which is sweeping our city is due
entirely to the unholy alliance of crime and
645
01:00:24.960 --> 01:00:34.599
politics sweep the comforts out of others. And I tell you, I'm telling
646
01:00:34.599 --> 01:00:37.679
you, mister Mayor, I'm doing
everything I can do. I've sworn in
647
01:00:37.719 --> 01:00:45.440
a thousand extra deputies. I have
got the fourth Worster, And I tell
648
01:00:45.480 --> 01:00:50.400
you, fellow citizens. This alliance
of the underworld and their masters can never
649
01:00:50.440 --> 01:00:53.840
be broken until we the people take
madaic into our own hands, like the
650
01:00:53.920 --> 01:00:58.880
vigilancies of bold. We must rise
in our wrath and drive these vampires out
651
01:00:58.920 --> 01:01:14.840
of our versity. This trial is
a vampire. Our revolution is fot holy
652
01:01:15.000 --> 01:01:24.960
alliance of crime and body. This
we have done well in these ten days.
653
01:01:25.360 --> 01:01:35.000
Mark, we have ten million dollars. Nobody in the world of ellected
654
01:01:35.000 --> 01:01:37.320
money. That fact, it was
good letting you join me. I told
655
01:01:37.400 --> 01:01:44.239
you only places where money is,
you know, But it's not money alone.
656
01:01:44.280 --> 01:01:46.280
We want belini O. I know, I know. We have been
657
01:01:46.519 --> 01:01:51.840
just how do you say it?
Testing? Are wik And now we're ready
658
01:01:51.840 --> 01:01:54.880
to go. Yes, a new
concentrate on my chemical is ready. Today.
659
01:01:54.920 --> 01:01:59.760
We have taken the city tomorrow of
the world, the world. But
660
01:02:00.719 --> 01:02:04.000
while the city we have left behind
us boils and the madness we have brought
661
01:02:04.000 --> 01:02:14.039
to you and I we will arrest. You're laughing at why I was thinking
662
01:02:14.079 --> 01:02:19.559
of the fun I had this morning? Oh you mean when we liquidated your
663
01:02:19.679 --> 01:02:27.800
enemy dead, every mother's son of
them, everyone that ever left, Yes,
664
01:02:28.400 --> 01:02:31.880
every one of them. And you
go on to new triumphs they never
665
01:02:31.920 --> 01:02:36.440
knew where hit them. That's the
only trouble was moving so fast. Pallina,
666
01:02:36.519 --> 01:02:38.920
You mean when you struck them at
fifty times the normal ray. Yes,
667
01:02:39.039 --> 01:02:43.639
it was like hitting them with a
sixteen shell. Skulls smashed in like
668
01:02:43.719 --> 01:02:46.920
empty eggs, and you were disappointed
because your revenge was over too quickly,
669
01:02:46.960 --> 01:02:51.519
a mark friend. Yes, what
if I were to tell you that my
670
01:02:51.599 --> 01:02:54.199
new concentrates and one we will use
tomorrow when we arrive at the seat of
671
01:02:54.239 --> 01:02:58.639
your government in Washington. What if
I were to tell you that this new
672
01:02:58.679 --> 01:03:02.119
concentrate is in infinitely more powerful than
the one we have been using. How
673
01:03:02.199 --> 01:03:06.440
powerful? How can I be?
Listen? The one we have been using
674
01:03:06.480 --> 01:03:08.880
increases the physical and metal rate twenty
times? Is that not so? Yes,
675
01:03:09.000 --> 01:03:12.960
talk, walk, run and think
fifty times fast. So there you
676
01:03:13.000 --> 01:03:15.159
have with the new concentrate, talk, walk, think, and run an
677
01:03:15.280 --> 01:03:20.280
infinite number of times faster than north
You here, you mean, there's no
678
01:03:20.559 --> 01:03:24.199
limit nor limit. We move faster
as fast as we'll lie, say two
679
01:03:24.320 --> 01:03:28.239
hundred, three hundred, five hundred. The limit will be our desires of
680
01:03:28.320 --> 01:03:30.920
blow of light here or there the
next place, masters of men, because
681
01:03:30.960 --> 01:03:36.719
compared to us, men are snails
who crawl while we run masters of men.
682
01:03:36.840 --> 01:03:42.000
Look, hey, brought the butt. The new concentrate looks the same.
683
01:03:42.320 --> 01:03:46.280
Yes, shall we try some Mark? Then? Hey, I don't
684
01:03:46.280 --> 01:03:51.119
know. We must try it sometimes. Yes, it is the same basic
685
01:03:51.239 --> 01:03:53.920
formula as the other. Sure,
I do not ask you to do what
686
01:03:53.960 --> 01:03:59.400
I will not do myself. We
will take equal amounts and compare reactions.
687
01:04:00.039 --> 01:04:02.519
How much many have two drops each? I have two medicine droppers ready.
688
01:04:02.679 --> 01:04:05.599
Yes, the moment which one of
the drops, we will move toward them.
689
01:04:06.400 --> 01:04:11.880
You see that barn across the field. We meet there and see how
690
01:04:12.000 --> 01:04:16.519
fast we can move. You know
your drops, Mark Fan? I I
691
01:04:16.679 --> 01:04:21.679
surely are not afraid? My friend
afraid me? Well, no, of
692
01:04:21.719 --> 01:04:36.800
course not. You meet those drops
we'd bring together? Yes, okay,
693
01:04:42.039 --> 01:04:56.119
Mark, Mark Fan? Why?
Mark Fan? Why? What happened?
694
01:04:56.239 --> 01:05:05.039
I I am not quite sure that
the burn we're lying by the barn we
695
01:05:06.239 --> 01:05:14.039
did get here? Mark Fan?
Your clothes, my clothes? Well,
696
01:05:15.199 --> 01:05:21.440
I'm naked, lie too, Mark
Fan. Listen, we moved so quickly
697
01:05:21.559 --> 01:05:29.679
through the air our clothes were torn
off. Can you concentrate infinitely more powerful?
698
01:05:30.519 --> 01:05:34.599
We moved through the air at a
tremendous rate. Hundreds of miles,
699
01:05:35.800 --> 01:05:45.199
Lenny, what your lips they're not
moving? And yet I hear your lips
700
01:05:46.199 --> 01:05:53.559
they do not move either, And
yet I hear you too. That cannot
701
01:05:53.639 --> 01:06:00.039
be. What is it, Leinie? Our reactions the concentrate speeded them up
702
01:06:00.079 --> 01:06:05.559
so intensely. We read each other's
thoughts. No, no, do not
703
01:06:05.800 --> 01:06:14.239
move when I reconcentrate. It was
too powerful. We must lie quietly until
704
01:06:14.280 --> 01:06:24.440
its effects whereof Yes, But Blinie, then why are you looking at me
705
01:06:24.679 --> 01:06:31.840
like that? Your face? My
my face? Some things happening to it?
706
01:06:32.119 --> 01:06:39.519
Fat? Speak up? What is
wrong with my face? What your
707
01:06:40.840 --> 01:06:49.400
your face? Creases in it?
Line and yours? That's what's happening to
708
01:06:49.559 --> 01:07:00.760
yours? Bleinie, If you Leanie, what's happening? Tell me age?
709
01:07:01.599 --> 01:07:11.519
That is it? Age? Age? We are aging? We are age
710
01:07:11.679 --> 01:07:18.400
gen aging? What are you talking
about? Concentrate our physical reactions. They
711
01:07:18.440 --> 01:07:26.079
have been speeded up too much.
Tell me what's that got to duration?
712
01:07:26.559 --> 01:07:32.519
To me? The concentrate. It
has speeded up our life processes to infinity.
713
01:07:33.599 --> 01:07:43.880
Every second? Is aging us?
A year? Every second? No?
714
01:07:43.880 --> 01:07:48.480
No, I'm a young man,
Belie. You're lying. I'm not
715
01:07:48.800 --> 01:07:58.639
getting older. I'm not. I'm
not. We are dying. Marl Fan
716
01:08:00.119 --> 01:08:18.479
die die you life, believe I
won't die. I would dead, and
717
01:08:18.680 --> 01:08:29.239
yet disolution works on in his flesh. Becky, no, no, no,
718
01:08:29.239 --> 01:08:34.319
no, no no, I cannot
die, Master of men, I
719
01:08:34.520 --> 01:09:20.720
cannot die, Master of the Oh
it is later then you thing a little
720
01:09:20.760 --> 01:09:26.640
record to listen to as we wrap
up the night. You know, I'm
721
01:09:26.680 --> 01:09:30.920
so glad you came to visit.
But now, my dear, the sun
722
01:09:30.000 --> 01:09:33.479
is going to be coming up soon. You need to return to where you
723
01:09:33.600 --> 01:09:39.079
come from, and well I need
to return to where I come from.
724
01:09:39.439 --> 01:09:44.359
But as you make your way back
to your warm, beautiful home, as
725
01:09:44.399 --> 01:09:49.159
you lay your head down on your
soft down pillow and prepare to nod off
726
01:09:49.199 --> 01:09:58.520
to sleep, just take one moment, one infinesible moment, and before you
727
01:09:58.640 --> 01:10:03.399
head to the land of now,
just please, I beg of you.
728
01:10:04.920 --> 01:10:13.319
Take a deep breath and be thankful, thankful for what you have, and
729
01:10:13.439 --> 01:10:40.279
I'll see you back here next time.
