1
00:00:08.960 --> 00:00:14.320
Well, hello, my dear, it seems to be another beautiful night. Huh.

2
00:00:15.519 --> 00:00:19.640
It's a wonderful time of year. Yes, yes, still can't

3
00:00:19.640 --> 00:00:24.600
believe it was just one year ago and I started

4
00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:30.760
seeing you every so often, that you would wander in

5
00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:35.439
the dark just to spend a little, a little of

6
00:00:35.479 --> 00:00:40.200
your tide with me or what's that? Oh no, no,

7
00:00:40.920 --> 00:00:45.359
I'm very happy about it, and very happy tonight. I

8
00:00:45.399 --> 00:00:48.840
figure we could sit back and enjoy a little extra

9
00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:55.240
yet again. So sit down in my favorite chair. Don't worry,

10
00:00:55.399 --> 00:00:59.880
they can't get in, I promise. This first one is

11
00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:04.040
is all about what happens when you deal with a

12
00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:05.400
vanishing lady.

13
00:01:09.799 --> 00:01:14.920
Tired of the everyday routine, ever dream of a life

14
00:01:14.959 --> 00:01:19.519
of romantic adventure, want to get away from it all.

15
00:01:20.359 --> 00:01:28.799
We offer you Escape, Escape designed to free you from

16
00:01:28.840 --> 00:01:31.120
the four walls of today for a half hour of

17
00:01:31.239 --> 00:01:32.040
high adventure.

18
00:01:36.599 --> 00:01:41.799
Tonight, we escape to pre war Paris and the terrifying

19
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:46.000
experience of a young English girl who is the victim

20
00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:51.719
of a gigantic conspiracy of silence. As Alexander Walcott tells

21
00:01:51.760 --> 00:02:15.120
it in his version of the legend, The Vanishing Lady, a.

22
00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:17.319
Cup of tea brews no thank you, my dear. I

23
00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:19.439
think I'll just have a Johnny Walker and soda and

24
00:02:19.479 --> 00:02:20.680
take a look at the evening stamper.

25
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:27.560
I'd like another, please, Mother, all right, Alice, only one sugar, tear.

26
00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:29.360
We must watch our figures.

27
00:02:29.960 --> 00:02:30.479
Nonsense.

28
00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:33.240
A going girl like Alice needs plenty of.

29
00:02:33.199 --> 00:02:36.479
Sugar, see mother, Daddy of Prune perhaps, but mother is

30
00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:37.360
still boss.

31
00:02:37.759 --> 00:02:40.120
Yes, Mother, she certainly, Alice.

32
00:02:41.039 --> 00:02:45.120
Mother, here's dear, I've been thinking. Here's dear, I've been

33
00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:46.719
thinking about my grandparents.

34
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:47.719
Oh.

35
00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:51.479
I know all about Daddy's parents. How grandfather Stanley commanded

36
00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:53.479
a dreadnought at the Battle of Jackland.

37
00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:56.120
And how it was not a dreadnought, Alice, it was

38
00:02:56.159 --> 00:02:57.719
a heavy cruiser.

39
00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:00.759
Or a heavy cruiser and he got the VC. And

40
00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:03.639
how grandmother Stanley was a volunteer nurse at Westwall Arch

41
00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:06.800
when the Zeppelins came over. And I know about your

42
00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:09.919
father too, and how he died in India from his rooms,

43
00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:11.479
and how gallant he was.

44
00:03:11.439 --> 00:03:12.560
At the Kuiper Pass.

45
00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:18.199
But Mother, yes, dear, you never told me anything about

46
00:03:18.240 --> 00:03:23.280
grandmother Winship. I I haven't no, and I'd like to

47
00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:24.120
know something.

48
00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:26.680
About And a child sixteen, I think it's time she knew,

49
00:03:26.759 --> 00:03:29.360
but Bruce, and you'll probably feel better to get it

50
00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:30.080
off your chest.

51
00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:34.639
What Mother, what is it? Oh, my dear, I've never

52
00:03:34.680 --> 00:03:39.840
talked about your grandmother because well, I've always half believed

53
00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:43.280
that some day, somehow she would come down our garden

54
00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:48.360
walk and then I know it sounds silly, but explain

55
00:03:49.240 --> 00:03:52.199
where she has been for the last twenty years. Why

56
00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:53.680
what happened to her?

57
00:03:53.719 --> 00:03:54.199
I don't know.

58
00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:55.879
I don't suppose I ever will.

59
00:03:55.719 --> 00:03:58.159
Well I, Cynthia Darling, if it's going to upset, No.

60
00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:00.919
No, no, Bruce, You're quite right. It would be best

61
00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:05.919
to get it off my chest, as you put it, Alice.

62
00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:10.000
As you know, I was born and brought up in India.

63
00:04:10.759 --> 00:04:12.960
I was about your age. When my father was killed

64
00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:16.800
in the Cable Campaign. Mother decided to leave India for

65
00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:20.000
good and returned to her old home in Warwickshire. However,

66
00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:22.240
it was necessary for her to go to Paris to

67
00:04:22.279 --> 00:04:25.920
attend to some details of my father's estate. The Great

68
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:29.319
Paris Exposition had just opened and the city was jammed

69
00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:32.720
with visitors from all over the world. You can imagine

70
00:04:32.759 --> 00:04:35.879
our relief when we arrived at the Grand Hotel Universal

71
00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:40.319
and heard the clerk say in quite understandable English.

72
00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:45.560
Ah, Madame, Mademoiselle Wynship, welcome, welcome, You will please to

73
00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:47.319
sign your register here and.

74
00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:49.240
Here you have our reservation.

75
00:04:49.480 --> 00:04:52.120
Indeed, yes, and you are most fortunate, Madame, that you

76
00:04:52.199 --> 00:04:55.120
telegraphed for I have reserved for you the last room

77
00:04:55.160 --> 00:04:55.639
in the house.

78
00:04:55.680 --> 00:04:55.920
Ah.

79
00:04:55.959 --> 00:04:57.240
I'm so relieved.

80
00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:00.800
Here, Cynthia, you may as well now to sign a

81
00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:05.360
register for yourself. Yes, Mama, where do I ride there

82
00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:06.519
on that line?

83
00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:06.759
Oh?

84
00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:07.759
Yes, I see.

85
00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:10.920
Well you have fatigue from your journey.

86
00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:12.879
Yes, I shall have the boys show you to your

87
00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:17.959
wounds at once, Madame, and Mademoiselle Wynship, and you may

88
00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:19.319
or twas so charan.

89
00:05:19.319 --> 00:05:20.879
To sweet machine.

90
00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:22.560
These are your baggage, madam.

91
00:05:22.839 --> 00:05:27.519
Yes, these six the baggage. Yes, Cynthia, you just carry

92
00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:33.680
the little one with the medicine in it. Yes, thank you.

93
00:05:33.959 --> 00:05:36.279
I'll take that one, the little red one.

94
00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:39.519
Yeah, this sailing is Keep.

95
00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:42.160
Your eye on that port of Cynthia. I don't trust

96
00:05:42.199 --> 00:05:45.759
this frenchman. I don't think he'll make off without things. Mama,

97
00:05:47.040 --> 00:05:49.240
here's the list, you.

98
00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:49.639
Know what I mean.

99
00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:58.279
I do wish we could have gone straight on to Southampton,

100
00:05:58.399 --> 00:06:00.199
but you only have had to come back across the

101
00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:03.120
channel to see the solicitor. We really save time this way,

102
00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:05.920
I suppose. I mean, I wish we hadn't had to

103
00:06:05.959 --> 00:06:10.079
come to Paris at all. It's it's such a sinister place.

104
00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:13.319
Oh mama, Well.

105
00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:23.439
They swell ladies the eye and care on Hu's care.

106
00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:28.079
Ladies.

107
00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:34.480
What a lovely big group. Oh look, mama, French windows

108
00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:40.680
and the park out there, and that square with the statues.

109
00:06:40.199 --> 00:06:45.839
On here, thank you ladies.

110
00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:49.959
Oh my mind, it's like something out of a book. Yes,

111
00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:53.439
my dear, that's the trouble with Paris. It's so attractive.

112
00:06:54.480 --> 00:07:00.480
But underneath it's even the gilt clock, this lovely marble table.

113
00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:05.360
Oh mamma, everything's so so so French. Well, I'll be

114
00:07:05.439 --> 00:07:07.439
very glad to be on my way to wear everything's

115
00:07:07.480 --> 00:07:11.199
English by this time tomorrow. No, come away from that

116
00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:14.000
window and help me get into something comfortable. There's a

117
00:07:14.040 --> 00:07:19.399
do yes, yes, mama. I don't know when I've been

118
00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:20.160
so tired.

119
00:07:21.439 --> 00:07:22.800
I just can't.

120
00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:27.560
Seem to catch Mama, Mama, what's the matter. Mama, speak

121
00:07:27.639 --> 00:07:32.680
to me. Oh here, I'll get you up in the bed. Now,

122
00:07:32.879 --> 00:07:35.639
let me loose in your corset. Here, mamma, here are

123
00:07:35.680 --> 00:07:40.800
the smiling, salts breathe deeply. Mama, Oh the telephone. I've

124
00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:49.639
got to get a doctor. Please hurry, please, hello operator,

125
00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:51.720
Will you please send a doctor up to room number

126
00:07:52.079 --> 00:07:56.279
Let me see number three four two. Will you please

127
00:07:56.319 --> 00:07:59.199
send a doctor to room number three four to two.

128
00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:04.800
This man was dizzy and doctor, please a doctor, doctor, women.

129
00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:15.160
I'm quite sure it was not long, although it seemed

130
00:08:15.199 --> 00:08:18.639
like an eternity before the doctor arrived, accompanied by the

131
00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:22.360
manager of the hotel. To my great relief, the doctor

132
00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:26.399
spoke English, he felt mother's poets, took her temperature, did

133
00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:29.360
the usual things that doctors do, and then he turned

134
00:08:29.399 --> 00:08:31.040
to the tail coded hotel.

135
00:08:30.759 --> 00:08:39.159
Manager measured firm doctor force pass. It's you, absolutely, monsieurs,

136
00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:45.320
she said to Fraserus losco Metre said family to Pando

137
00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:49.679
the best, and I couldn't reviva wood si less you

138
00:08:49.759 --> 00:08:54.080
say for tatel, Pierre dust jeer non sa malo tell

139
00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:57.799
me to Paris bidoracid and us exposes yoursel.

140
00:08:57.919 --> 00:09:01.159
The talk in this language I couldn't understand. I looked

141
00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:03.080
from one face to the other, trying to read from

142
00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:06.919
their expressions how serious my mother's earnest was. They were

143
00:09:06.960 --> 00:09:09.759
as casual as though they were ordering dinner. Finally I

144
00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:15.120
could stand no longer. They must please you. You must

145
00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:17.320
tell me what's the matter with.

146
00:09:17.440 --> 00:09:22.080
Her, Mademoiselle, your mother, I say, yes, seriously, it is

147
00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:26.000
a collapse. I do perhaps this train of traveling, however,

148
00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:29.200
a week or two of absolute rest will work.

149
00:09:29.320 --> 00:09:32.360
One day, a week or two. Well, we were to

150
00:09:32.639 --> 00:09:35.039
go on to England tomorrow, Oh, that.

151
00:09:35.159 --> 00:09:36.200
Would be out of the question.

152
00:09:36.360 --> 00:09:39.039
Mademoiselle. She cannot be moved for at least several days.

153
00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:43.200
Right now she must have complete hast. The next twenty

154
00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:48.720
four hours will be critical. No, no, no, no, Mademoiselle

155
00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:51.600
Lester right down too. I need your help.

156
00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:54.600
Yes, yes, of course, doctor.

157
00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:56.600
Immediately I need some mezine.

158
00:09:57.200 --> 00:09:58.240
Will you fetch it for me?

159
00:09:59.639 --> 00:09:59.840
Yes?

160
00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:01.279
But Melo is more.

161
00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:03.399
I must not leave your mother for a moment during

162
00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:07.960
his critical hours. Here I will write down this address

163
00:10:08.279 --> 00:10:10.279
and a little message to my wife.

164
00:10:10.600 --> 00:10:11.840
Your wife.

165
00:10:12.200 --> 00:10:15.159
Yes, I have the medicine already prepared at my home.

166
00:10:15.240 --> 00:10:17.320
It would be faster to go there for it to

167
00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:21.440
a pharmacy. There are very few chemists who have the ingredients.

168
00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:28.200
Couldn't you telephone malus, I have no telephone. Well, here

169
00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:32.440
is the address. Twenty four piece re volcas and here

170
00:10:32.559 --> 00:10:34.039
is the message to give to my wife.

171
00:10:34.120 --> 00:10:38.320
But doctor, I don't know Paris atolla. I'm a total

172
00:10:38.399 --> 00:10:39.039
stranger here.

173
00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:42.080
I'm sure the manager here will give the necessary instructions

174
00:10:42.120 --> 00:10:43.320
to the taximan.

175
00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:45.399
But certainly if Mademoiselle is ready.

176
00:10:45.960 --> 00:10:49.120
Before I quite knew what was happening, I was seated

177
00:10:49.120 --> 00:10:52.679
in a rickety taxicab outside the hotel, the doctor's message

178
00:10:53.000 --> 00:10:56.559
clutched in my hand, while the hotel manager gave valuable

179
00:10:56.600 --> 00:10:57.519
directions to the cab.

180
00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:03.440
Wow, tell stay on taxi to nerf not monsouvenevou brune

00:11:03.559 --> 00:11:07.000

183
00:11:14.320 --> 00:11:15.000
It is arranged.

184
00:11:15.080 --> 00:11:18.559
Mademoiselle Jacques is one of our most trusted chauffeur. He

185
00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:21.039
will get you to the doctor's house and back in safety.

186
00:11:21.200 --> 00:11:25.720
Oh, thank you so much, sir, And you'll look after

187
00:11:25.799 --> 00:11:26.960
my mother. Thank you.

188
00:11:27.279 --> 00:11:29.919
But of car sab that you may be sure, how

189
00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:32.159
lazy an tondie siso lappies.

190
00:11:38.200 --> 00:11:41.279
When we left the hotel, we crossed a huge square

191
00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:44.279
with statues around it, and turned into a wide avenue,

192
00:11:44.320 --> 00:11:46.600
which led up a gentle inclined at the top of

193
00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:49.879
which was a huge arch. But before long we turned

194
00:11:49.879 --> 00:11:52.919
off to the right into narrower streets. It must have

195
00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:56.720
been twenty minutes later when we turned into another wide

196
00:11:56.759 --> 00:12:00.759
boulevard and I saw another huge arch up ahead or

197
00:12:01.919 --> 00:12:09.879
was it the same Buche haven't we passed that arch before?

198
00:12:10.200 --> 00:12:15.000
We're mademoiselle, while I lock de trion while I lock.

199
00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:19.759
Please, I don't want a sightseeing tour. I want to

200
00:12:19.840 --> 00:12:23.279
go to this address directly. Don't you understand now? Please

201
00:12:23.639 --> 00:12:24.840
take me there at once.

202
00:12:24.840 --> 00:12:30.960
Office score blue, Mademoiselle, the sway don't kill eleben said

203
00:12:31.080 --> 00:12:33.399
by your mail Marta.

204
00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:38.200
At last we turned into a narrow street and pulled

205
00:12:38.279 --> 00:12:41.480
up before a grim gray house. The blue and emo

206
00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:44.159
sign on the wall read number twenty four pieces. I

207
00:12:44.279 --> 00:12:46.519
jumped out of the cab almost before it stopped, rushed

208
00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:48.279
up the three stone steps and called at the boss

209
00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:57.480
dell no, hurry, hurry, hurry, please please hurry monjeu mademoiselle,

210
00:12:57.840 --> 00:13:00.559
monsieur le doctor by the doc go send me for

211
00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:03.360
some medicine and be here. Read this please.

212
00:13:04.480 --> 00:13:07.879
Goodney, sir gianfanmo signor percine.

213
00:13:10.360 --> 00:13:14.039
De barri membe la france, autrey.

214
00:13:14.240 --> 00:13:19.480
Thank you. The doctor's wife stood there reading you re,

215
00:13:19.639 --> 00:13:22.080
reading the note as though she didn't understand it, and

216
00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:25.879
until I thought I would scream, Oh, please, please hurry,

217
00:13:26.519 --> 00:13:28.639
give me the medicine. It's my mother. She may be dying.

218
00:13:28.919 --> 00:13:32.039
I must get back to her. Please hurry, I see you.

219
00:13:32.440 --> 00:13:35.360
She pointed to a chair and slowly walked down the

220
00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:38.960
horn and closed the door behind her. I waited and waited,

221
00:13:39.919 --> 00:13:42.840
and wondered about the time the cab had taken to

222
00:13:42.879 --> 00:13:46.919
get here, about that arch that looked so familiar, And

223
00:13:47.039 --> 00:13:50.240
I was torn by the hundred nameless anxieties that taught

224
00:13:50.320 --> 00:13:52.960
you and your nearest and dearest is ill. And then

225
00:13:54.159 --> 00:13:58.600
I heard something that throws my blood. A telephone, a

226
00:13:58.759 --> 00:14:03.360
telephone clearly ring somewhere in the house. But the doctor

227
00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:05.480
had said he had no telephone. That was the reason

228
00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:09.200
I must come all this way for the medicine. Oh no, no,

229
00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:11.879
it couldn't be in this house. It it must be

230
00:14:12.000 --> 00:14:14.840
next door or across the street. Of course, that's where

231
00:14:14.879 --> 00:14:20.919
the sound was coming from. But no, it was the

232
00:14:21.000 --> 00:14:25.200
voice of the doctor's wife answering the phone. Oh no, no,

233
00:14:25.440 --> 00:14:29.080
what monstrous plot was this? I felt my scalp crawled

234
00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:31.759
with terror, my brain pondered, my head fellows though it

235
00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:33.960
would burst. I wanted to scream, to run out of

236
00:14:34.039 --> 00:14:36.039
this awful house, to run all the way across Paris

237
00:14:36.080 --> 00:14:37.039
to the bedside of my mother.

238
00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:41.399
While that meets you, Oh, thank you, thank you.

239
00:14:44.679 --> 00:14:47.720
Now driver, please please, in the name of your own mother,

240
00:14:47.840 --> 00:14:50.559
hurry back to the hotel as fast as possible.

241
00:14:50.679 --> 00:15:03.320
Please, in just a moment, we continue with the second

242
00:15:03.399 --> 00:15:07.600
act of escape. But first, no, you won't be hearing

243
00:15:07.720 --> 00:15:11.480
double that'll be Groucho Marx appearing on two different CBS

244
00:15:11.559 --> 00:15:14.960
shows tomorrow night, first in his own hilarious ad lib

245
00:15:15.039 --> 00:15:18.000
quiz you bet your Life, and then immediately following as

246
00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:22.080
Bing Crosbie's guest don't miss this great meeting on CBS

247
00:15:22.200 --> 00:15:24.639
tomorrow night. And now we return you to.

248
00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:26.679
Escape.

249
00:15:36.480 --> 00:15:39.679
I pleaded with the taxi driver. I begged him to hurry.

250
00:15:40.320 --> 00:15:43.960
I explained to him in tears that my mother was

251
00:15:44.039 --> 00:15:48.799
desperately ill. But the taxicab never increased its speed. We

252
00:15:48.960 --> 00:15:51.759
crept across Paris just as slowly as we had come,

253
00:15:53.200 --> 00:15:56.200
until at last we pulled up before the entrance of

254
00:15:56.240 --> 00:15:56.679
the hotel.

255
00:15:57.360 --> 00:15:58.320
Weller, Mademoiselle.

256
00:15:58.679 --> 00:16:01.759
I jumped out of the cab, and then I saw

257
00:16:01.799 --> 00:16:06.519
the sign over the hotel entrance. It said, Hotel rich

258
00:16:07.759 --> 00:16:12.799
a driver, You've taken me to the wrong hotel. I'm

259
00:16:12.879 --> 00:16:15.120
staying at the Grand Hotel Universal.

260
00:16:15.320 --> 00:16:22.879
No, Mademoiselle, wose rich is ramineo reach a vasa forsy

261
00:16:23.000 --> 00:16:26.240
corto koto it way you made yet more.

262
00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:29.799
Or puce please. I don't understand what you're saying, but

263
00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:32.720
I want you to take me to the Grand Hotel Universal.

264
00:16:32.799 --> 00:16:38.440
The City's secretions, the city secrets for me, said.

265
00:16:39.799 --> 00:16:40.120
Don't?

266
00:16:40.519 --> 00:16:45.600
She was all redo, you stupid, stupid man. Can't you

267
00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:48.559
understand my mother is ill. You've taken more than two

268
00:16:48.600 --> 00:16:50.240
hours to get me to that doctor's house in back?

269
00:16:50.720 --> 00:16:53.480
Can't you understand my mother is sick, perhaps.

270
00:16:53.240 --> 00:16:58.240
Dying, Mademoiselle for problem, No, rup don't she was.

271
00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:00.559
Universe?

272
00:17:01.039 --> 00:17:01.639
Was all.

273
00:17:02.720 --> 00:17:05.640
I looked around me. A small group of pursers bar

274
00:17:05.759 --> 00:17:08.559
I had stopped and were listening curiously to the argument,

275
00:17:08.920 --> 00:17:11.920
and then they joined in, taking salves everywhere. I looked

276
00:17:11.960 --> 00:17:16.160
for foreign things as stranger's enemies, and then, shouldering through

277
00:17:16.200 --> 00:17:19.160
the crowd, I saw the bareheaded young man in tweeds

278
00:17:19.480 --> 00:17:22.279
with a pipe planting his teeth, and before he had

279
00:17:22.279 --> 00:17:25.319
a chance to speak, I knew that help her come

280
00:17:25.759 --> 00:17:28.279
having some trouble, Thank Heaven and Englishman.

281
00:17:28.400 --> 00:17:30.559
Yes, that's right. What seems to be the matter?

282
00:17:30.839 --> 00:17:33.440
I told him rapidly as I could, and he paid

283
00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:37.160
the Muish cab driver popped me into another cabin. Five

284
00:17:37.240 --> 00:17:40.000
minutes later we walked into the lobby of the Grand

285
00:17:40.039 --> 00:17:46.920
Hotel Universal. The manager was behind the desk. Please, my mother,

286
00:17:48.079 --> 00:17:50.880
is she all right? I beg your pardon, my mother,

287
00:17:50.960 --> 00:17:53.359
missus Winship in three four two? Is she all right?

288
00:17:53.680 --> 00:17:57.839
There is no Madam Windship in three four two? What

289
00:17:58.359 --> 00:18:01.079
three four two is occupied by Monsieur August NOA, I

290
00:18:01.440 --> 00:18:02.440
a permanent guest.

291
00:18:03.799 --> 00:18:07.720
Please don't you remember me? I'm Cynthia Winship. Two hours

292
00:18:07.720 --> 00:18:09.200
ago you put me into a taxi to go to

293
00:18:09.279 --> 00:18:10.960
the doctor's house with some medicine for my mother.

294
00:18:11.279 --> 00:18:14.240
I'm afraid Mademoiselle is mistaken. I have never seen her

295
00:18:14.279 --> 00:18:15.000
before in my life.

296
00:18:15.039 --> 00:18:16.319
When I look here, what is it?

297
00:18:16.440 --> 00:18:18.599
No, listen, I swear to you it is as I say.

298
00:18:19.240 --> 00:18:21.880
We signed a register less than three hours ago. We

299
00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:24.160
got in on a train from Marseille.

300
00:18:23.920 --> 00:18:25.599
Well, now, let's have a look at the register.

301
00:18:25.720 --> 00:18:27.880
Oh yes, yes, sir, I'll show you. I'm in three

302
00:18:27.960 --> 00:18:29.279
four two. Where is the register?

303
00:18:29.480 --> 00:18:29.680
Is here?

304
00:18:29.720 --> 00:18:30.200
Mademoiselle.

305
00:18:30.200 --> 00:18:34.039
You may see for yourself see today's date, fourteen guests register.

306
00:18:34.200 --> 00:18:37.079
But I don't see any of Mademoiselle, Madame Winship?

307
00:18:37.480 --> 00:18:39.640
Do you? But?

308
00:18:41.200 --> 00:18:46.960
But this is monstrous, It's impossible. My mother is somewhere

309
00:18:47.000 --> 00:18:49.799
in this hotel. What have you done with her?

310
00:18:50.799 --> 00:18:51.920
What have you done with her?

311
00:19:01.039 --> 00:19:01.200
Now?

312
00:19:01.279 --> 00:19:02.519
How do you appear on Miss Winship?

313
00:19:03.680 --> 00:19:03.920
Better?

314
00:19:04.079 --> 00:19:04.400
Thank you?

315
00:19:06.160 --> 00:19:07.440
Sir, was very nourishing.

316
00:19:07.519 --> 00:19:09.720
Well when you have something else? Saad? Or a bit

317
00:19:09.759 --> 00:19:10.160
of gross?

318
00:19:10.200 --> 00:19:11.039
No? No, thank you?

319
00:19:11.880 --> 00:19:13.319
Just a cup of tea?

320
00:19:13.359 --> 00:19:18.440
Perhaps, Gilson, monsieur, mademoiselle, do we miss you?

321
00:19:19.079 --> 00:19:24.160
I don't know how to thank you. Mister. Do you

322
00:19:24.240 --> 00:19:26.119
realize I don't even know your name?

323
00:19:27.359 --> 00:19:29.640
Well, it's Bruce, Bruce Stanley.

324
00:19:30.240 --> 00:19:32.519
I'm glad to meet you, mister Stanley.

325
00:19:32.599 --> 00:19:33.960
Why, it's a pleasure in Miss Winship.

326
00:19:35.000 --> 00:19:38.960
Mister Stanley, you believe me, don't you?

327
00:19:39.640 --> 00:19:40.319
Of course I do.

328
00:19:40.960 --> 00:19:43.480
We did register that hotel. We were in room three

329
00:19:43.519 --> 00:19:48.680
four two. Why I can even describe the furnishings. There

330
00:19:48.759 --> 00:19:51.359
was a big window that went from the ceiling to

331
00:19:51.440 --> 00:19:51.799
the floor.

332
00:19:52.960 --> 00:19:56.160
Every hotel room in Paris has windows like that, Miss Winship.

333
00:19:57.359 --> 00:20:02.599
They do, yes, well, in this room, the draperies were

334
00:20:02.759 --> 00:20:06.119
plum colored, and there was a marble top table black

335
00:20:06.200 --> 00:20:08.519
marble it was, and a guilt clock. It had run

336
00:20:08.599 --> 00:20:10.920
down the hand stopped. I remember it at twenty minutes

337
00:20:10.920 --> 00:20:14.599
past three. The walls were covered in rose brocade, and

338
00:20:14.720 --> 00:20:16.319
the bedspread was a washed out yellow.

339
00:20:16.680 --> 00:20:16.720
Or.

340
00:20:16.759 --> 00:20:18.759
If I could only get into that room, you'd see

341
00:20:18.759 --> 00:20:20.680
that I'm not making this up.

342
00:20:20.839 --> 00:20:23.359
No, I'm sure that you are not, and perhaps I

343
00:20:23.400 --> 00:20:24.680
can find a way to make them let you in

344
00:20:24.720 --> 00:20:26.960
the room. You can, Yes, we'll see. I'm with the

345
00:20:27.039 --> 00:20:31.359
Embassy under secretary sort of thing. I believe that the

346
00:20:31.519 --> 00:20:33.920
British Empire has enough influence to change the mind of

347
00:20:33.920 --> 00:20:35.119
an obstinate Paris in keeper.

348
00:20:35.200 --> 00:20:36.640
Well, then let's do it right away.

349
00:20:37.079 --> 00:20:40.039
Well, I'm afraid the might have Britain can't move that

350
00:20:40.279 --> 00:20:44.119
fast past dinner time. But tomorrow we shall see it tomorrow.

351
00:20:45.200 --> 00:20:49.079
Oh, but I must get in that room tonight. I

352
00:20:49.279 --> 00:20:52.640
have no money and no way to sleep.

353
00:20:52.960 --> 00:20:55.240
Well, we can do nothing with the people at the hotel.

354
00:20:56.039 --> 00:20:56.519
You saw that.

355
00:20:57.279 --> 00:21:00.240
We'll just have to be patient until tomorrow. I'm sure

356
00:21:00.279 --> 00:21:01.640
that I can find a room for you tonight and

357
00:21:01.680 --> 00:21:02.799
a party on near the embassy.

358
00:21:04.279 --> 00:21:08.519
You're you're so very kind. How can I ever thank you?

359
00:21:08.640 --> 00:21:09.319
Mister Stanley.

360
00:21:10.240 --> 00:21:15.839
You you might begin by calling me books. Thank you, Bruce,

361
00:21:16.319 --> 00:21:21.680
thank you, Cynthia. Oh oh, what is it?

362
00:21:21.799 --> 00:21:24.160
I just thought of something. The doctor. The doctor, yes,

363
00:21:24.319 --> 00:21:26.440
the one the hotel manager brought in to look after mother.

364
00:21:26.599 --> 00:21:28.319
I still have his address somewhere here in my bag.

365
00:21:28.799 --> 00:21:31.279
Just a minute, Yes, here it is. We must go

366
00:21:31.359 --> 00:21:33.799
there immediately. He can tell us about mother.

367
00:21:34.079 --> 00:21:38.000
Twenty four best as well. It's not fine. That's just

368
00:21:38.160 --> 00:21:41.839
off the bus by. It's near the German Panas.

369
00:21:41.720 --> 00:21:43.400
So how long would it take to get there by taxi?

370
00:21:45.119 --> 00:21:50.079
But it took over an hour this afternoon.

371
00:21:59.440 --> 00:22:02.480
While I'm miss sure van catbistri val grass.

372
00:22:03.079 --> 00:22:05.720
Here we are, yes, yes, this this is the place.

373
00:22:08.319 --> 00:22:11.119
The girl m the horse is dark.

374
00:22:11.599 --> 00:22:13.039
Well, it's quite late.

375
00:22:13.119 --> 00:22:15.480
And I don't care. We've got to find out tonight.

376
00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:24.400
He don't bar where is he?

377
00:22:24.559 --> 00:22:29.319
Oh? Is that there the upstairs window? A monsiela doctor? Say, mademoiselle, Winship.

378
00:22:30.960 --> 00:22:32.599
Go ahead, Winship.

379
00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:34.079
He says, he doesn't know.

380
00:22:34.160 --> 00:22:39.319
You, but he must, he must doctor. Don't you remember

381
00:22:39.839 --> 00:22:42.440
this afternoon? You you sent me here to your house

382
00:22:42.480 --> 00:22:43.680
for medicine for my mother?

383
00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:46.359
And he says he doesn't understand English.

384
00:22:46.440 --> 00:22:49.119
The liar, he does. He speaks perfect English.

385
00:22:50.680 --> 00:22:55.200
But the aspect police.

386
00:22:57.680 --> 00:22:58.799
Sorry, Cnthia.

387
00:23:00.160 --> 00:23:05.599
Bruce, What am I going to do? What am I

388
00:23:05.759 --> 00:23:13.799
going to do? If it hadn't been for Bruce, I'm

389
00:23:13.880 --> 00:23:15.599
certain I should have gone out of my mind that

390
00:23:15.680 --> 00:23:18.839
dreadful night. He found a room for me at Poncion,

391
00:23:18.920 --> 00:23:22.200
near the embassy, where I spent a sleepless night. I

392
00:23:22.319 --> 00:23:25.559
tossed and turned and worried myself in an agony almost

393
00:23:25.640 --> 00:23:31.039
beyond endurance. Where was my mother? What had they done

394
00:23:31.079 --> 00:23:37.559
with her? Bruce called for me at half past ten

395
00:23:37.599 --> 00:23:40.039
the next morning and took me back to the hotel.

396
00:23:41.119 --> 00:23:45.319
To my surprise, the attitude of the manager had changed completely.

397
00:23:45.839 --> 00:23:49.279
But of course Mademoiselle may inspect Room three hundred forty two.

398
00:23:49.720 --> 00:23:52.240
We are only too glad to convince Mademoiselle to her

399
00:23:52.279 --> 00:23:55.880
mother is not and never was in the Grandetel Universay. Hi,

400
00:23:56.319 --> 00:23:59.359
I never, I personally will escort you to the room

401
00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:03.240
this way, Please do the acencer, Oh Bruce.

402
00:24:03.599 --> 00:24:06.839
That terrible man, that horrible, horrible Asna.

403
00:24:06.920 --> 00:24:08.079
Don't let him upset you.

404
00:24:13.920 --> 00:24:16.480
Now, Bruce, Remember but I told you last night you'll

405
00:24:16.519 --> 00:24:20.759
see come color draperies, black marble top table, rose was

406
00:24:20.880 --> 00:24:23.319
and a girl club with hands stopped at twenty minutes

407
00:24:23.319 --> 00:24:25.119
past three, you'll see.

408
00:24:25.079 --> 00:24:31.480
Yes, my lady, this way it was room three hundred

409
00:24:31.480 --> 00:24:31.920
and forty two.

410
00:24:31.920 --> 00:24:33.000
You wish to see, Mademoiselle.

411
00:24:33.119 --> 00:24:37.079
Yes, that's right, third door to the right, So here

412
00:24:37.160 --> 00:24:39.400
we are. Oh you see, Bruce, I know where it is.

413
00:24:39.599 --> 00:24:40.279
Yes, my dear.

414
00:24:42.279 --> 00:24:43.880
Voila at a please.

415
00:24:43.759 --> 00:24:46.200
Now, Bruce. Now you'll see the yellow bed speller.

416
00:24:48.359 --> 00:24:51.440
Not quite the room you just described in the elevator, Mademoiselle.

417
00:24:51.920 --> 00:24:58.279
The drapes are royal blue. Hey, little Dusty, I fear

418
00:24:58.839 --> 00:25:01.519
I must have this room right now, debated, There is

419
00:25:01.720 --> 00:25:02.880
no marbletop tape.

420
00:25:02.960 --> 00:25:03.000
No.

421
00:25:05.480 --> 00:25:08.240
Hey, the clock, as you notice, is running.

422
00:25:08.079 --> 00:25:08.160
No.

423
00:25:10.359 --> 00:25:11.160
And right on time.

424
00:25:11.240 --> 00:25:11.720
It seems.

425
00:25:11.960 --> 00:25:14.839
The walls are not rose brocade but yellow flower.

426
00:25:14.920 --> 00:25:19.319
Now, dear mademoiselle, you see how thoroughly mistakes.

427
00:25:29.279 --> 00:25:31.960
They had tried to make me think I was mad.

428
00:25:33.799 --> 00:25:43.839
They succeeded. I remembered nothing until I awoke in my

429
00:25:43.920 --> 00:25:47.400
aunt's house. In England two weeks later, thanks to Bruce,

430
00:25:47.440 --> 00:25:50.359
who never left my side during those terrible days when

431
00:25:50.400 --> 00:25:56.319
my sanity hung in the balance. Well, I listen, that's

432
00:25:56.400 --> 00:26:00.440
the story. That's why I've never been able to talk

433
00:26:00.440 --> 00:26:05.119
to you about your grandmother winship. Oh mother, how horrible,

434
00:26:05.839 --> 00:26:10.000
because all these years I've clung to the foolish hope

435
00:26:10.039 --> 00:26:14.400
that somehow she'd come back and tell us herself what happened.

436
00:26:14.480 --> 00:26:18.680
You, poor dear, you may as well dispel that hope forever. Cynthia,

437
00:26:20.079 --> 00:26:23.680
what well, since you've at last brought yourself to discuss

438
00:26:23.720 --> 00:26:26.440
your mother's disappear inside, I think it's time you knew

439
00:26:26.480 --> 00:26:30.160
the true facts. Ooose your mother died twenty minutes after

440
00:26:30.200 --> 00:26:32.160
you left the hotel on that fool's errand with the

441
00:26:32.240 --> 00:26:37.160
doctor no she She died of the bubonic plague. She

442
00:26:37.319 --> 00:26:40.519
caught it in India before she sailed. The doctor recognized

443
00:26:40.519 --> 00:26:42.559
the symptoms the moment he examined her. He told the

444
00:26:42.640 --> 00:26:45.559
hotel manager in French in your presence. They agreed that

445
00:26:45.640 --> 00:26:48.039
the matter must be kept completely secret. If the news

446
00:26:48.119 --> 00:26:49.960
leaked out that there was a case of plague in Paris,

447
00:26:50.240 --> 00:26:52.000
the city would have been emptied of visitors, and the

448
00:26:52.000 --> 00:26:56.880
exposition would have been a failure. Oh oose, The conspiracy

449
00:26:56.920 --> 00:26:59.680
of silence began in the hotel. The bell boy was

450
00:26:59.720 --> 00:27:01.920
paid to claim I never saw you. The taxi driver

451
00:27:02.079 --> 00:27:03.559
was paid to take you to the doctor's house by

452
00:27:03.599 --> 00:27:06.200
the most roundabout route. The note to the doctor's wife

453
00:27:06.240 --> 00:27:08.200
advised her to detain you as long as she could,

454
00:27:08.799 --> 00:27:11.640
and the taxi driver added his own imagined touch by

455
00:27:11.720 --> 00:27:13.480
returning you to the Ritz instead of the universe.

456
00:27:13.480 --> 00:27:13.640
Eal.

457
00:27:14.480 --> 00:27:17.000
I shudder to think what might have happened if I

458
00:27:17.039 --> 00:27:21.480
hadn't come through the plasvandor just then. But you didn't know,

459
00:27:22.359 --> 00:27:22.960
not then?

460
00:27:24.000 --> 00:27:25.640
When did you find out?

461
00:27:26.680 --> 00:27:30.079
The next morning? By then the conspiracy had grown to

462
00:27:30.160 --> 00:27:33.599
international proportions. The embassy had been advised if the exposition

463
00:27:33.720 --> 00:27:35.480
was a failure, the frank would fall and the pound

464
00:27:35.519 --> 00:27:36.480
sterling would be affected.

465
00:27:36.559 --> 00:27:37.880
That that sort of thing.

466
00:27:38.480 --> 00:27:40.279
I knew when we went back to the hotel, you

467
00:27:40.279 --> 00:27:43.000
would not find your plum drapes and rose colored walls

468
00:27:43.039 --> 00:27:45.319
and black marble topped tables.

469
00:27:46.279 --> 00:27:47.799
And you let me go through with that.

470
00:27:48.079 --> 00:27:51.279
What could I do, Cynthia, I was acting under orders.

471
00:27:51.839 --> 00:27:54.640
I knew that the hotel had completely fumigated and redecorated

472
00:27:54.640 --> 00:27:57.119
the room overnight, and everything was in readiness. To repudiate

473
00:27:57.160 --> 00:27:59.799
your story, I had to let the last actor that

474
00:28:00.119 --> 00:28:02.440
dreadful fast play do it's dreadful end.

475
00:28:03.720 --> 00:28:05.960
What did they do with mother?

476
00:28:07.359 --> 00:28:10.119
Her body was removed from the room less than thirty

477
00:28:10.160 --> 00:28:13.599
minutes after you left it and immediately burned.

478
00:28:16.039 --> 00:28:19.880
Why why didn't you tell me years ago? Why did

479
00:28:19.960 --> 00:28:21.160
you let me go on all this time?

480
00:28:21.279 --> 00:28:23.559
This is the first time that you've ever mentioned your

481
00:28:23.640 --> 00:28:25.000
mother since then, My dear.

482
00:28:30.240 --> 00:28:37.400
Alice. Yes, mother, there's a new issue of the Tattler

483
00:28:37.480 --> 00:28:40.519
in the library. Wouldn't you like to look at it?

484
00:28:41.400 --> 00:28:45.440
Good Mother? I'm no, there there's a good girl. I

485
00:28:47.279 --> 00:28:50.039
want to have a talk with your father.

486
00:29:07.240 --> 00:29:10.039
Escape is produced and directed by William N.

487
00:29:10.200 --> 00:29:10.640
Robson.

488
00:29:11.200 --> 00:29:14.559
Tonight we have presented The Vanishing Lady by Alexander Wilcott,

489
00:29:14.720 --> 00:29:18.279
freely adapted for radio by mister Robson. Featured in the

490
00:29:18.359 --> 00:29:21.599
cast were Joan Banks as Cynthia, Ben Ryder is Bruce,

491
00:29:21.880 --> 00:29:24.880
Anthony Ross is the doctor, and John Hoyt as the

492
00:29:24.920 --> 00:29:29.759
hotel manager. Also heard were Irene Tedrow, Ramsey Hill Nan Boardman,

493
00:29:30.119 --> 00:29:34.319
Daphneil Callahan, and Paul Freeze. Special music was composed and

494
00:29:34.400 --> 00:29:35.880
conducted by Del Castillio.

495
00:29:41.000 --> 00:29:47.200
My my, the chill of me air is persistence, isn't it?

496
00:29:47.400 --> 00:29:50.880
Isn't it? Well? Well, luckily I have no shortage of

497
00:29:51.039 --> 00:29:54.960
hot tea to share with you, so please don't worry.

498
00:29:55.000 --> 00:29:59.240
I'll freshen your cup right now. Oh yes, yes, of course,

499
00:29:59.319 --> 00:30:02.599
of course, plenty of wood for the fire here, I'll

500
00:30:02.640 --> 00:30:07.720
put one on right now. So as I was digging

501
00:30:07.839 --> 00:30:11.559
around trying to find something fun and frightening for us

502
00:30:11.640 --> 00:30:16.160
to share, as I do love our visits, I found

503
00:30:16.240 --> 00:30:19.640
this little bast about something even I had never heard

504
00:30:19.720 --> 00:30:27.039
of in all of my years. The skulls skulls that walked.

505
00:30:28.079 --> 00:30:45.319
Hmmm, good evening, This is Sergeant X.

506
00:30:46.599 --> 00:30:49.359
They say that ghosts and the like just don't exist,

507
00:30:50.000 --> 00:30:53.039
and when a person passes on, he just lies quietly,

508
00:30:53.519 --> 00:30:55.720
not bothering another soul, so to speak.

509
00:30:56.960 --> 00:30:58.000
You believe that, don't you.

510
00:31:00.519 --> 00:31:00.680
Well?

511
00:31:00.720 --> 00:31:03.759
Did you ever hear about the skull that walked?

512
00:31:04.839 --> 00:31:04.880
No?

513
00:31:06.119 --> 00:31:29.640
Then listen, my friends, to the Mystery Playhouse. I guess

514
00:31:30.000 --> 00:31:33.119
superstition is a pretty hard thing to down completely, isn't it.

515
00:31:34.160 --> 00:31:38.039
I mean, under certain circumstances, almost anybody can get the

516
00:31:38.160 --> 00:31:42.079
creeps and get them good. I guess most of us

517
00:31:42.119 --> 00:31:45.839
are a little bit afraid of the unknown. For instance,

518
00:31:46.200 --> 00:31:50.319
taking a midnight stroll through a graveyard isn't exactly your

519
00:31:50.400 --> 00:31:53.119
idea of fun, is it? And I don't suppose you

520
00:31:53.279 --> 00:31:56.319
particularly go into ecstasies if you happen to witness a good,

521
00:31:56.400 --> 00:32:01.480
gory murder either. Well, there's all I know who thinks

522
00:32:01.519 --> 00:32:03.720
this all comes under the heading of good clean fun.

523
00:32:04.839 --> 00:32:08.960
His hobby is horror, and he likes to tell stories

524
00:32:09.000 --> 00:32:12.000
along those lines. I think he has one for you

525
00:32:12.160 --> 00:32:23.480
right now. Wait till I try this door here, Good.

526
00:32:23.319 --> 00:32:29.319
Evening, friends of the n Sanctum. This is Raymond, your hosts.

527
00:32:30.319 --> 00:32:31.799
Hell, come in, won't you?

528
00:32:33.200 --> 00:32:33.440
Yes?

529
00:32:33.599 --> 00:32:34.960
How are your spirits this evening?

530
00:32:36.119 --> 00:32:36.319
Oh?

531
00:32:36.559 --> 00:32:41.039
God, hear that our spirits are fine too. Would you

532
00:32:41.720 --> 00:32:45.920
like to see them? Oh, it's no trouble at all. Now,

533
00:32:46.480 --> 00:32:49.640
if which would you care to see first, the spirit

534
00:32:49.839 --> 00:32:53.279
or the body? Well, the body is right over there

535
00:32:53.279 --> 00:32:58.680
on the floor, and the spirit is right next to it. Oh, oh,

536
00:32:58.720 --> 00:33:01.960
you can't see it. I forgot to tell you you

537
00:33:02.559 --> 00:33:17.039
have to be one in order to see one. Shall

538
00:33:17.119 --> 00:33:18.160
we get started?

539
00:33:18.960 --> 00:33:19.119
Well?

540
00:33:19.359 --> 00:33:24.519
Naturally? Now turn out the lights. No, no, you won't

541
00:33:24.519 --> 00:33:25.519
see any ghosts in.

542
00:33:25.559 --> 00:33:26.240
The dark, but.

543
00:33:27.759 --> 00:33:28.720
They'll be able to see you.

544
00:33:33.480 --> 00:33:34.240
Far from town.

545
00:33:34.559 --> 00:33:38.039
A group of three hills on the summit of the

546
00:33:38.160 --> 00:33:41.200
highest of them is the Cruise estate, owned by two brothers,

547
00:33:41.359 --> 00:33:44.920
Arthur and Carl. At this moment, Carl and his wife

548
00:33:45.000 --> 00:33:47.720
Lucille are digging a hole at the entrance of the estate,

549
00:33:48.200 --> 00:33:50.279
planting young poplar trees.

550
00:33:55.640 --> 00:33:57.000
Carl, I think it's deep enough.

551
00:33:58.160 --> 00:33:59.599
I think we ought to go a little deeper down.

552
00:34:00.359 --> 00:34:04.400
M Oh, here, come, Spears, you're digging.

553
00:34:04.599 --> 00:34:07.000
Yes, we're going to flight a whole row of Lombardy poppers.

554
00:34:07.519 --> 00:34:08.199
You mean right here?

555
00:34:08.360 --> 00:34:10.320
Yeah, we're gonna line both sides of the road.

556
00:34:10.760 --> 00:34:13.440
Perhaps you had better let me do it. I'm your caretaker.

557
00:34:13.480 --> 00:34:14.440
I should do the gardens.

558
00:34:15.800 --> 00:34:17.199
You look upset. What's the matter?

559
00:34:17.519 --> 00:34:22.320
Well, the way you're digging is no Indian very is

560
00:34:22.360 --> 00:34:22.679
a curse.

561
00:34:22.960 --> 00:34:25.840
Oh, don't worry about it, Spears. You don't believe it,

562
00:34:26.159 --> 00:34:28.199
of course, not if you're still and I don't go

563
00:34:28.280 --> 00:34:29.079
in for superstition.

564
00:34:29.159 --> 00:34:32.960
Yes, but it's no superstition. Sorry, it's you hit a rock.

565
00:34:35.760 --> 00:34:39.840
That sounds like a rock, little hollow. Figure it up

566
00:34:39.880 --> 00:34:50.639
whatever it is. We school, Yes, Scarf Spears is right.

567
00:34:51.280 --> 00:34:53.199
Space must have been an old Indian burial around.

568
00:34:53.199 --> 00:34:53.760
Please put it.

569
00:34:53.840 --> 00:34:57.159
Back, keep it, car, Perhaps you'd better put it.

570
00:34:57.639 --> 00:35:00.280
Please, please bear it again, mister Cruz. It will bring

571
00:35:00.400 --> 00:35:01.480
bad luck to all of them.

572
00:35:01.599 --> 00:35:03.880
No, Spears, that's just a silly superstition.

573
00:35:04.679 --> 00:35:06.519
What about the rest of the skeleton.

574
00:35:10.280 --> 00:35:11.480
It doesn't seem to be one.

575
00:35:12.960 --> 00:35:15.480
No, just a skull.

576
00:35:16.679 --> 00:35:16.880
Huh.

577
00:35:17.760 --> 00:35:21.039
You bring it into the hospital, Spirits. I'd rather not,

578
00:35:21.480 --> 00:35:23.000
all right, I'll take it in myself.

579
00:35:23.440 --> 00:35:23.840
Don't either.

580
00:35:23.920 --> 00:35:25.320
Have you mentioned this to my brother Arthur.

581
00:35:25.880 --> 00:35:28.119
He's terribly scared of things like this, and he's just

582
00:35:28.159 --> 00:35:29.559
gotten over his nervous breakdown.

583
00:35:30.039 --> 00:35:33.280
Carl, perhaps you should put the skull back, Steal.

584
00:35:33.440 --> 00:35:35.639
You're not being taken in by this. Who come about curses?

585
00:35:35.679 --> 00:35:35.920
Are you?

586
00:35:37.760 --> 00:35:40.880
That sounded like my wife Mary. She was cleaning the windows.

587
00:35:44.719 --> 00:35:44.960
Good.

588
00:35:46.840 --> 00:35:50.519
She fell out of the window, Mary, Mary, Mary, But

589
00:35:50.639 --> 00:35:54.320
she's unconscious. Please do something, You must do something.

590
00:35:54.800 --> 00:35:58.159
I'm afraid there's nothing we can do, Spears. She hit

591
00:35:58.239 --> 00:36:11.320
her head against a rock. She's dead, how Spears, he's

592
00:36:11.400 --> 00:36:14.599
quieted down. I can't understand it. There's only one rock

593
00:36:14.679 --> 00:36:17.440
underneath the window, and Marry hit that that one rock.

594
00:36:17.920 --> 00:36:19.679
There isn't even a pebble around for yards.

595
00:36:19.800 --> 00:36:21.280
So go imagining things again.

596
00:36:21.440 --> 00:36:24.360
Arthur Spears kept talking about a curse.

597
00:36:24.800 --> 00:36:26.840
Spears believes in pixies and gremlins too.

598
00:36:26.920 --> 00:36:29.559
Don't forget well, I feel rather funny about it all.

599
00:36:29.880 --> 00:36:32.639
Oh, Carl, maybe you'd better switch some more lambs on.

600
00:36:33.480 --> 00:36:34.800
This living room feels gloomy.

601
00:36:34.960 --> 00:36:36.639
Oh, let's cut this nonsense.

602
00:36:36.719 --> 00:36:36.960
Ot.

603
00:36:37.199 --> 00:36:39.880
Wait you hear anything?

604
00:36:41.719 --> 00:36:41.920
Oh?

605
00:36:43.119 --> 00:36:45.119
I don't, yees.

606
00:36:46.760 --> 00:36:47.960
Nothing is coming from the ceiling.

607
00:36:48.880 --> 00:36:50.519
What's coming from the ceiling? I don't hear.

608
00:36:53.119 --> 00:36:53.559
What is It?

609
00:36:56.840 --> 00:36:59.559
Must be the beams. I sometimes do that.

610
00:36:59.559 --> 00:36:59.960
From the heat.

611
00:37:00.119 --> 00:37:02.559
It's not the beams, it's too regular a sound.

612
00:37:03.800 --> 00:37:05.920
What room is directly above us?

613
00:37:06.719 --> 00:37:08.760
It's an old bedroom. We use it as a store

614
00:37:08.800 --> 00:37:10.159
room now. It hasn't been opened in years.

615
00:37:12.360 --> 00:37:13.360
Something up there.

616
00:37:13.480 --> 00:37:16.039
Of copsairs, A lot of old things from years back.

617
00:37:17.199 --> 00:37:18.360
Did you bring the scarf?

618
00:37:18.480 --> 00:37:19.960
The scar yes?

619
00:37:21.000 --> 00:37:26.840
What are you too whispering? It's coming down the stairs settlements.

620
00:37:29.960 --> 00:37:30.400
So far?

621
00:37:32.199 --> 00:37:35.440
Look at your feet, Carl.

622
00:37:36.159 --> 00:37:36.679
The skull?

623
00:37:38.800 --> 00:37:40.719
How did they get down here?

624
00:37:41.679 --> 00:37:43.920
It came down the steps.

625
00:37:44.719 --> 00:37:47.760
Seems to be looking up a skull?

626
00:37:49.760 --> 00:37:50.960
How did it get into the house?

627
00:37:51.320 --> 00:37:54.679
Carl found it while digging. Spears said it belongs to

628
00:37:54.719 --> 00:37:56.199
the minion Spears was right.

629
00:37:56.960 --> 00:37:58.159
There is a curse on the house.

630
00:37:58.719 --> 00:37:59.480
We'll all be killed.

631
00:37:59.519 --> 00:37:59.960
I'm leaving.

632
00:38:00.119 --> 00:38:06.559
I can't stand this, will Car. What are you going

633
00:38:06.639 --> 00:38:07.320
to do with the skull?

634
00:38:09.320 --> 00:38:10.239
Lock it up in the closet.

635
00:38:11.480 --> 00:38:14.760
Lock it, Carl, you'd better bury it again.

636
00:38:15.280 --> 00:38:17.679
I can't do that, Lucille.

637
00:38:18.599 --> 00:38:22.599
If I do, it means I believe in all this

638
00:38:22.679 --> 00:38:23.880
tummy rod about ghosts.

639
00:38:24.880 --> 00:38:27.400
And suppose you tell me how a skull could open

640
00:38:27.480 --> 00:38:29.800
a door and then come bouncing down the steps.

641
00:38:30.519 --> 00:38:31.440
I don't know.

642
00:38:33.280 --> 00:38:34.800
Maybe someone's playing a trick.

643
00:38:34.880 --> 00:38:40.039
Honestly, what happened to Mary was no trick, Carl, nor.

644
00:38:40.079 --> 00:38:43.000
Is this and you know it well, whatever it is,

645
00:38:43.199 --> 00:38:44.880
I'm not going to bury it. We'll keep it locked

646
00:38:44.960 --> 00:38:48.599
up in the closet. Yes, what is it, sirs?

647
00:38:49.519 --> 00:38:51.000
It isn't my place to tell you so.

648
00:38:51.119 --> 00:38:54.400
But you're referring to the skull, aren't you, Yes, sir, Well,

649
00:38:54.440 --> 00:38:55.519
it won't bother us anymore.

650
00:38:56.400 --> 00:38:56.760
Whole thing.

651
00:38:56.920 --> 00:39:00.440
Some queer trick got it safely hidden in the closet.

652
00:39:00.440 --> 00:39:02.320
I'm putting a lock on the outside.

653
00:39:01.920 --> 00:39:03.960
But the lock isn't going to do any good, sir.

654
00:39:04.400 --> 00:39:06.679
It will break through the door, just like.

655
00:39:06.719 --> 00:39:07.360
The last time.

656
00:39:07.840 --> 00:39:11.039
I don't think anything like that can happen again. I'm

657
00:39:11.079 --> 00:39:12.679
the only one that has the key to this lock.

658
00:39:13.599 --> 00:39:16.480
If the skull wants to break out, you have to

659
00:39:16.559 --> 00:39:17.880
come to me for the key.

660
00:39:25.599 --> 00:39:28.639
How are you feeling, Arthur, I'll never feel right in

661
00:39:28.719 --> 00:39:29.360
this house again.

662
00:39:29.480 --> 00:39:34.440
Whole nonsense. I just put a light on. Days there's

663
00:39:34.559 --> 00:39:36.679
morbid sitting here in the dark by yourself.

664
00:39:37.679 --> 00:39:38.639
We're all going to die.

665
00:39:39.280 --> 00:39:43.719
Don't be ridiculous out her. Where is the skull where

666
00:39:43.760 --> 00:39:46.199
it can't get out? Tomorrow I'll take it into town

667
00:39:46.239 --> 00:39:47.119
and let the police look at it.

668
00:39:47.159 --> 00:39:49.679
Tomorrow will be too late. But I'm getting tired of this.

669
00:39:49.840 --> 00:39:52.719
You've got to get hold of yourself. You go completely

670
00:39:52.800 --> 00:39:55.679
the pieces. You think I'm a coward, don't you.

671
00:39:56.119 --> 00:39:59.480
Oh no, you're not a coward.

672
00:40:00.079 --> 00:40:03.280
He's just a victim of your own exaggerated imagination.

673
00:40:03.480 --> 00:40:07.480
Wait, there's someone at the door.

674
00:40:10.840 --> 00:40:11.440
I'll open it.

675
00:40:15.199 --> 00:40:15.559
Who is it?

676
00:40:16.519 --> 00:40:18.119
I I don't know.

677
00:40:19.760 --> 00:40:20.440
No one came in.

678
00:40:20.719 --> 00:40:23.440
Something came in. For having's sake. Put the light on.

679
00:40:26.840 --> 00:40:30.920
The skull happen. I can't believe it.

680
00:40:31.760 --> 00:40:32.639
You can't believe it.

681
00:40:37.079 --> 00:40:39.480
Where it is grinning at you from the floor, But

682
00:40:39.599 --> 00:40:40.400
you can't believe it.

683
00:40:41.119 --> 00:40:42.400
You don't believe in these things.

684
00:40:43.880 --> 00:40:45.679
I put a lock on the door.

685
00:40:45.800 --> 00:40:46.840
Locks aren't going to help.

686
00:40:47.719 --> 00:40:50.760
Nothing is going to help. We're all going to die.

687
00:40:58.239 --> 00:41:02.559
It's it's an hour later now Arthur has gotten over his.

688
00:41:02.840 --> 00:41:05.360
Hysteria, but he is still terrified.

689
00:41:05.840 --> 00:41:08.280
I'm not going to spend another night in this house, Carl.

690
00:41:08.440 --> 00:41:10.719
But Arthur, there's got to be some logical explanation.

691
00:41:10.840 --> 00:41:13.119
I'm not in the least bit curious, and i just

692
00:41:13.239 --> 00:41:14.199
want to get out of here tonight.

693
00:41:14.400 --> 00:41:15.320
I'm gonna go with him.

694
00:41:15.360 --> 00:41:20.920
Carl se Well, guys, you will bury it again. We'll

695
00:41:20.920 --> 00:41:22.360
put it back in the same place we found That

696
00:41:22.480 --> 00:41:24.960
won't do any good. It's too late now, don't be ridiculous.

697
00:41:25.000 --> 00:41:26.679
If it wants anything at all, it wants to get

698
00:41:26.760 --> 00:41:30.280
buried again. I'm sure all this mysterious business will come

699
00:41:30.320 --> 00:41:31.679
to an end. As soon as we bury it.

700
00:41:32.119 --> 00:41:33.639
The house won't ever be the same.

701
00:41:33.679 --> 00:41:35.760
We'll stop it, both of you. You're acting like a

702
00:41:35.800 --> 00:41:36.880
couple of scared children.

703
00:41:37.400 --> 00:41:39.280
We'll put the skull back where we found it, and

704
00:41:40.159 --> 00:41:41.840
we won't be bothered by it anymore.

705
00:41:42.800 --> 00:41:46.719
Spears Spears, Yes, mister, this.

706
00:41:48.480 --> 00:41:54.199
Skull, Let's take it out, bury it in the same place.

707
00:41:54.239 --> 00:41:54.920
Where we found it.

708
00:41:55.599 --> 00:41:59.519
I'm glad you reconsidered, sir. It's the only way.

709
00:42:05.239 --> 00:42:07.639
I don't seem to remember the spot.

710
00:42:07.480 --> 00:42:12.239
When it's on the other sides, right near the entrance road. Oh, yes, yes, sir,

711
00:42:12.519 --> 00:42:17.679
here it is. Yeah, but the hole we dug it's

712
00:42:17.719 --> 00:42:20.400
not here. I filled an in.

713
00:42:21.079 --> 00:42:24.719
Oh well, we'd better take it out. Yes, if you

714
00:42:24.800 --> 00:42:26.239
hold the skull out to get open, we might as

715
00:42:26.239 --> 00:42:28.440
well do it, right. I know exactly how deep it was.

716
00:42:28.480 --> 00:42:30.960
If you don't mind, miss Screws, I'd rather not touch

717
00:42:31.039 --> 00:42:39.760
the skull. All right, Yeah, that's about right there. I

718
00:42:39.800 --> 00:42:43.800
will put the thing back, but it doesn't seem to

719
00:42:43.920 --> 00:42:44.920
want to go back now.

720
00:42:45.280 --> 00:42:48.440
I just miss dropping it into the hole. Hold the

721
00:42:48.480 --> 00:42:53.960
face side down here, Yes, well that does it.

722
00:42:55.000 --> 00:42:55.159
Oh.

723
00:42:55.320 --> 00:42:57.239
I hope we'll have no more trouble.

724
00:43:04.599 --> 00:43:05.000
Welcome.

725
00:43:05.360 --> 00:43:06.199
Did you bury it?

726
00:43:06.639 --> 00:43:08.039
Yes, same place.

727
00:43:09.280 --> 00:43:09.639
That's all.

728
00:43:10.440 --> 00:43:11.400
Forget about it, shall we?

729
00:43:12.079 --> 00:43:15.480
Maybe it's easy for you, Carl. I won't forget about

730
00:43:15.519 --> 00:43:16.400
it for a long time.

731
00:43:16.639 --> 00:43:19.519
Neither will I. I'll be having nightmares about it for months.

732
00:43:19.719 --> 00:43:22.199
I don't know what's gotten into your seal. You're never

733
00:43:22.440 --> 00:43:23.599
easily frightened.

734
00:43:23.559 --> 00:43:27.280
I'm not, But skulls that roll by themselves give me

735
00:43:27.320 --> 00:43:28.199
a funny feeling.

736
00:43:29.519 --> 00:43:32.840
We come on, let's play cards, hearts. We don't need

737
00:43:32.920 --> 00:43:35.000
more than three hands to play. We'll forget the whole

738
00:43:35.000 --> 00:43:38.960
crazy businesses. Okay, I might as well, all right, steal

739
00:43:39.039 --> 00:43:47.920
the cards. Okay, well we're getting back to normalcy.

740
00:43:48.000 --> 00:43:50.880
Huh, Arthur, that's your card.

741
00:43:51.840 --> 00:43:54.159
That win came up suddenly?

742
00:43:54.360 --> 00:43:54.960
Who's first?

743
00:43:55.800 --> 00:43:56.119
You are?

744
00:43:56.800 --> 00:43:56.920
Oh?

745
00:43:57.880 --> 00:43:58.280
All right?

746
00:43:59.239 --> 00:43:59.360
Uh?

747
00:43:59.639 --> 00:44:00.440
Nine of diamonds.

748
00:44:02.360 --> 00:44:06.360
You're gone. Come on, throw a card.

749
00:44:07.719 --> 00:44:10.159
I think I hear something.

750
00:44:10.679 --> 00:44:11.320
Of course you do.

751
00:44:11.840 --> 00:44:12.239
The wind?

752
00:44:13.079 --> 00:44:15.800
No, I I thought I heard a rapping sound.

753
00:44:15.880 --> 00:44:18.079
Look, just pay attention to the game and stop listening

754
00:44:18.119 --> 00:44:18.719
for sounds.

755
00:44:19.639 --> 00:44:20.320
Here's my curR.

756
00:44:21.280 --> 00:44:23.440
You threw a club diamonds, Sue.

757
00:44:23.559 --> 00:44:24.559
Oh, I'm sorry.

758
00:44:25.400 --> 00:44:25.880
Did you hear that?

759
00:44:27.119 --> 00:44:27.599
What was it?

760
00:44:29.360 --> 00:44:31.800
It's only the wind blowing the shutter. Oh, come on,

761
00:44:32.000 --> 00:44:34.239
let's play a card, Arthur.

762
00:44:35.039 --> 00:44:35.800
Is someone at the door.

763
00:44:35.880 --> 00:44:40.519
Isn't the wind? Someone's outside? All right, I'll open the door.

764
00:44:41.320 --> 00:44:42.559
No, don't open the Please.

765
00:44:42.639 --> 00:44:45.119
Lucille, sitting here frightened, is gonna do it? Something good?

766
00:44:45.119 --> 00:44:46.039
We've got to open the door.

767
00:44:46.119 --> 00:44:46.679
Don't open it.

768
00:44:46.800 --> 00:44:49.079
Card away the car.

769
00:44:52.280 --> 00:44:55.159
It was nothing, It's just the wind.

770
00:44:55.199 --> 00:44:57.360
You lying her place as white as a sheet.

771
00:44:58.039 --> 00:45:01.760
I know it's the skull. It's come back.

772
00:45:02.039 --> 00:45:04.719
I'll tell you it's nothing, just the wind.

773
00:45:05.320 --> 00:45:06.000
Nobody was there.

774
00:45:06.400 --> 00:45:07.960
I'll see for myself.

775
00:45:10.159 --> 00:45:11.239
A scull.

776
00:45:21.320 --> 00:45:25.119
Oh, Missus Cruise. I I didn't hear you knock.

777
00:45:25.480 --> 00:45:28.679
I didn't. I want to talk to you, Spears.

778
00:45:29.239 --> 00:45:31.360
Yes, Missus Cruise, but it's rather late.

779
00:45:32.079 --> 00:45:33.440
You've been up late before.

780
00:45:33.880 --> 00:45:36.639
Oh, yes, but it's just as I'm tired tonight. I

781
00:45:37.599 --> 00:45:38.639
don't mean to be rude.

782
00:45:39.599 --> 00:45:41.119
You been doing a lot of night work.

783
00:45:42.000 --> 00:45:43.920
What are you referring to, Missus Cruise.

784
00:45:45.119 --> 00:45:45.559
Spears.

785
00:45:45.639 --> 00:45:48.880
You don't really believe in skulls that move around by themselves,

786
00:45:49.599 --> 00:45:49.840
do you?

787
00:45:50.320 --> 00:45:53.800
I I warned your husband about it. It's a curse.

788
00:45:54.320 --> 00:45:56.360
Is it part of a curse for a skull to

789
00:45:56.519 --> 00:45:58.400
use a troll to one bury itself?

790
00:45:58.840 --> 00:45:59.559
Your troll?

791
00:46:00.280 --> 00:46:02.679
My trowell? You're mistaken.

792
00:46:03.159 --> 00:46:05.119
No, I'm not. I just came from there.

793
00:46:05.679 --> 00:46:07.280
Why would I want to do anything like that?

794
00:46:08.199 --> 00:46:08.440
Why?

795
00:46:09.039 --> 00:46:09.880
That's why I'm here.

796
00:46:09.960 --> 00:46:13.679
I'd like to know why, Please, Missus Cruise. I'm tired.

797
00:46:14.440 --> 00:46:15.119
We'll talk about it.

798
00:46:15.280 --> 00:46:17.840
The more we'll talk about it now, Spears, right now,

799
00:46:19.400 --> 00:46:25.159
get out of my room, all right, I'm going straight

800
00:46:25.239 --> 00:46:28.559
to the police. I've got the trowell. You'll see if

801
00:46:28.599 --> 00:46:30.360
the skull left any fingerprint.

802
00:46:30.519 --> 00:46:33.360
You won't do that, missus cruise, yes, I will.

803
00:46:34.239 --> 00:46:36.480
All right, spears, just sit right where you are. I'll shoot.

804
00:46:36.599 --> 00:46:41.480
Please let the gun down. Start talking, it's all a mistake.

805
00:46:41.599 --> 00:46:46.039
If you don't start talking, I'll shoot in self defense.

806
00:46:47.199 --> 00:46:48.440
Did you dig up that skull?

807
00:46:49.000 --> 00:46:50.079
I did you?

808
00:46:51.599 --> 00:46:53.480
Yes, yes, I did.

809
00:46:53.639 --> 00:46:56.079
And you roll the skull down the steps the first

810
00:46:56.159 --> 00:46:57.400
night it was in this house, didn't you?

811
00:46:57.599 --> 00:46:59.880
It was only a joker, and you also managed to

812
00:47:00.039 --> 00:47:00.719
open a closet.

813
00:47:00.960 --> 00:47:02.519
Yes, but I whose skull is it?

814
00:47:03.480 --> 00:47:04.000
I don't know.

815
00:47:04.239 --> 00:47:06.840
You're lying That skull has something to do with you.

816
00:47:06.960 --> 00:47:12.079
I checked up on it. Your first wife disappeared. Perhaps

817
00:47:12.159 --> 00:47:14.360
the police can identify the skull, so.

818
00:47:14.440 --> 00:47:18.519
Please don't go to the police. I well, it was

819
00:47:18.679 --> 00:47:23.000
my first wife, Jane. I killed her. I didn't want

820
00:47:23.000 --> 00:47:25.440
your husband to bring the skull to the police, so

821
00:47:25.599 --> 00:47:27.480
I tried to scare all of you away from here,

822
00:47:27.840 --> 00:47:28.719
the safest measure.

823
00:47:29.320 --> 00:47:29.599
Go on.

824
00:47:29.920 --> 00:47:35.559
Yes, wait a minute, who rolled the skull into Arthur's room.

825
00:47:36.639 --> 00:47:37.199
It wasn't me.

826
00:47:38.559 --> 00:47:39.039
It must have.

827
00:47:41.400 --> 00:47:41.599
Was me.

828
00:47:44.079 --> 00:47:47.239
Perhaps you and I can work things out. I tried

829
00:47:47.239 --> 00:47:50.280
to frighten my dear brother in law, Arthur away, so

830
00:47:50.400 --> 00:47:52.880
that I can have complete ownership of the entire estate.

831
00:47:54.239 --> 00:47:56.440
You say, Arthur is leaving tonight.

832
00:47:56.880 --> 00:48:02.079
Here, Perhaps we can help each each other. No one

833
00:48:02.199 --> 00:48:03.719
has to know of our little conversation.

834
00:48:04.400 --> 00:48:05.639
No one is going to know.

835
00:48:06.840 --> 00:48:10.440
Well, now that we've both accomplished our purpose, maybe it

836
00:48:10.480 --> 00:48:13.159
would be the best thing to bury the skull again.

837
00:48:15.320 --> 00:48:16.199
We'll do it now.

838
00:48:22.760 --> 00:48:24.360
Well, here we are.

839
00:48:25.039 --> 00:48:25.559
Let's hurry.

840
00:48:25.599 --> 00:48:27.480
They'll miss me if I'm out here too long.

841
00:48:27.639 --> 00:48:30.760
Perhaps we'd better dig another hole, doesn't matter. Will you

842
00:48:30.880 --> 00:48:31.719
hold the skull.

843
00:48:33.360 --> 00:48:33.719
Rather not?

844
00:48:34.519 --> 00:48:36.800
You haven't suddenly gotten squeamish? Have you missed?

845
00:48:36.840 --> 00:48:39.559
Cruise with a skull in the ground and dig that hole?

846
00:48:44.760 --> 00:48:45.320
What's the matter?

847
00:48:47.599 --> 00:48:47.880
Skull?

848
00:48:48.840 --> 00:48:49.320
Look at it?

849
00:48:49.719 --> 00:48:50.159
What about it?

850
00:48:50.559 --> 00:48:51.199
It's moving?

851
00:48:53.039 --> 00:48:56.480
It is just the wind putting it up there. Yes,

852
00:48:56.920 --> 00:49:01.159
there is cheap enough. Now, hand me color? Oh, I

853
00:49:01.199 --> 00:49:03.599
forgot you. You won't do it all right, I'll get

854
00:49:03.639 --> 00:49:04.119
it myself.

855
00:49:05.440 --> 00:49:06.000
That's the matter.

856
00:49:06.840 --> 00:49:07.280
My hand.

857
00:49:08.079 --> 00:49:11.280
I can't get my hand out, the jaws clean down.

858
00:49:12.800 --> 00:49:14.320
Please help me.

859
00:49:14.760 --> 00:49:17.239
You've got to help me do something.

860
00:49:17.800 --> 00:49:18.719
You've got to do something.

861
00:49:18.760 --> 00:49:19.519
You want to let me go?

862
00:49:20.679 --> 00:49:20.800
Oh?

863
00:49:20.880 --> 00:49:24.519
Please, Jane, Jane Darling I didn't mean to kid you.

864
00:49:25.239 --> 00:49:28.159
You're my wife. I didn't mean it. It was an accident.

865
00:49:28.760 --> 00:49:29.480
Do you believe me?

866
00:49:29.559 --> 00:49:30.840
I'll do anything.

867
00:49:31.400 --> 00:49:31.559
Hey?

868
00:49:32.199 --> 00:49:50.119
Oh no, no, Jane, how is she cal.

869
00:49:51.880 --> 00:49:56.000
Pretty bad? Doctor says it's hopeless. There's nothing more I

870
00:49:56.039 --> 00:49:56.280
can do.

871
00:49:58.000 --> 00:49:58.719
Her hair.

872
00:50:00.039 --> 00:50:07.760
Turned completely white, out of her mind. Horrible Spears died

873
00:50:07.840 --> 00:50:11.199
this morning. He never recovered consciousness, died.

874
00:50:11.039 --> 00:50:14.199
Of fright Everything else seems to make sense. But I

875
00:50:15.280 --> 00:50:18.079
don't understand how the skull could have clamped its jaws

876
00:50:18.119 --> 00:50:18.840
on his hand.

877
00:50:19.440 --> 00:50:21.400
When he picked it up. He must have picked it

878
00:50:21.480 --> 00:50:25.280
up upside down. The lower jaw, which swings on a hinge,

879
00:50:26.000 --> 00:50:30.320
came down so frightened that his hand froze.

880
00:50:30.039 --> 00:50:30.639
To the skull.

881
00:50:32.199 --> 00:50:35.519
Spears was just frightened to death.

882
00:50:47.800 --> 00:50:47.880
Uh.

883
00:50:50.719 --> 00:50:55.280
I want that skull, yes, sir, I wanted as a

884
00:50:55.400 --> 00:51:01.920
knocker for the inner thanked in door, Good night, pleasant the.

885
00:51:12.280 --> 00:51:12.480
Well.

886
00:51:12.880 --> 00:51:17.239
Thank you very much, friend, Raymond. Your sense of humor

887
00:51:17.320 --> 00:51:20.920
is really quite refreshing. That isn't a gholie sort of way.

888
00:51:22.480 --> 00:51:25.159
We'll be trying your creaking door again soon for some

889
00:51:25.280 --> 00:51:28.880
more laughs. All right, now, let's look in on the

890
00:51:28.920 --> 00:51:31.599
green room where the players are rehearsing the next performance

891
00:51:31.639 --> 00:51:32.559
in the mystery playhouse.

892
00:51:33.480 --> 00:51:34.519
Follow me, please.

893
00:51:35.039 --> 00:51:45.159
Come, want to cry?

894
00:51:45.920 --> 00:51:47.840
Say Dexter, how does it feel to be both a

895
00:51:47.880 --> 00:51:50.719
spy catching hero and the prospective bride group at the

896
00:51:50.719 --> 00:51:51.159
same time.

897
00:51:51.519 --> 00:51:53.840
At the moment, it feels like being the thirteenth sided

898
00:51:53.880 --> 00:51:55.440
dean in a ten built for twelve.

899
00:51:55.599 --> 00:51:58.079
Dog hous is always like this, Hey, finish your story, Samley.

900
00:51:58.119 --> 00:52:01.320
About Dexter reporting the German agent what's his name, Courtz?

901
00:52:01.440 --> 00:52:01.719
Courtz?

902
00:52:01.840 --> 00:52:03.960
Well, Dexter here figures that Courts is up to something,

903
00:52:04.079 --> 00:52:05.480
so he tips off the FBI.

904
00:52:05.719 --> 00:52:07.480
Hey, hey, you guys, take a look at that gall

905
00:52:07.599 --> 00:52:10.239
the black dress. That's fine talk for a guy who's

906
00:52:10.239 --> 00:52:11.159
about to get married.

907
00:52:11.400 --> 00:52:13.920
Go on, Stemmy, Dexter's only trying to change the subject.

908
00:52:14.000 --> 00:52:17.400
Well, following up Dexter's tip, the federal men trap Courts.

909
00:52:17.920 --> 00:52:21.440
That was six weeks ago, So today, in three minutes,

910
00:52:21.480 --> 00:52:23.639
in fact, Kortz is going to get quite a shock.

911
00:52:24.159 --> 00:52:26.280
Quite a shock, you mean they're going to that's right

912
00:52:26.840 --> 00:52:29.599
at six o'clock. That'll be less than three minutes now

913
00:52:30.000 --> 00:52:33.559
Kartz is being electrocuted. You want to read the newspapers, lieutenant,

914
00:52:33.599 --> 00:52:34.760
and find out about things.

915
00:52:34.880 --> 00:52:36.800
Well, when you just got back from the canal zone.

916
00:52:36.800 --> 00:52:40.000
You're likely to neglect the newspapers for the first few days. Hey,

917
00:52:40.079 --> 00:52:41.960
the gal behind us? What you said next to the

918
00:52:42.000 --> 00:52:43.000
gal behind us? Won?

919
00:52:43.079 --> 00:52:45.920
The black dress mob's too thick. I can't even turn

920
00:52:45.920 --> 00:52:47.840
around to get a look at her. Hey, go on, stemmy,

921
00:52:48.000 --> 00:52:48.800
what was this Courts?

922
00:52:48.840 --> 00:52:50.920
After plans of a new type mortar?

923
00:52:51.000 --> 00:52:51.920
Wasn't it texted mortar?

924
00:52:52.239 --> 00:52:52.840
I can't say.

925
00:52:53.000 --> 00:52:55.079
Oh, don't be such a clam but it's taboo.

926
00:52:55.159 --> 00:52:55.519
I'll tell you.

927
00:52:55.800 --> 00:52:56.880
I'll get sure about it.

928
00:52:57.119 --> 00:52:59.280
Who's so come on, come on, let's get out of

929
00:52:59.280 --> 00:53:01.239
this mob and fire some less crowded joint.

930
00:53:01.320 --> 00:53:03.639
Huh, I'll take it easy. Let's have at least one

931
00:53:03.719 --> 00:53:09.000
drink here. And now we finally got to the baruch.

932
00:53:10.559 --> 00:53:12.079
Well, it's a matter of Texas and somebody step on

933
00:53:12.119 --> 00:53:12.599
your corns.

934
00:53:12.760 --> 00:53:15.599
Oh no, it felt like someone stuck a needle in

935
00:53:15.679 --> 00:53:17.920
my hand. But the way I'm wedged in here, I

936
00:53:18.000 --> 00:53:19.519
can't even lift my hand to see.

937
00:53:19.360 --> 00:53:23.199
He probably a pen scratched you for all these women about, Hey, Dexter.

938
00:53:23.679 --> 00:53:26.039
According to the clock on the wall there, Courts is

939
00:53:26.079 --> 00:53:28.360
being executed right this second, so it's.

940
00:53:28.559 --> 00:53:29.400
Kind of close in here.

941
00:53:29.800 --> 00:53:31.199
Let's get out and get some fresh air.

942
00:53:31.760 --> 00:53:33.559
Take a look in the mirror over the bar, Stanley.

943
00:53:33.960 --> 00:53:37.519
That woman behind me, that's what Dexter's been muttering about.

944
00:53:37.760 --> 00:53:39.760
The brunette and black smooth.

945
00:53:40.840 --> 00:53:41.519
Hey, do you know her?

946
00:53:41.679 --> 00:53:43.079
It makes you think I know her well.

947
00:53:43.119 --> 00:53:45.599
I thought she nodded at you, just my nactual good looks.

948
00:53:46.239 --> 00:53:47.719
I never saw her before in my life.

949
00:53:47.920 --> 00:53:51.639
It's close in here. Let's get out and hardly.

950
00:53:52.079 --> 00:53:54.320
I stopped climbing. Dexter good leaning on me.

951
00:53:54.679 --> 00:53:57.400
See it ain't Dexter just because he's going to be married.

952
00:53:57.920 --> 00:54:00.800
You shouldn't have mentioned marriage. Stanley. Way, he's leaning on me.

953
00:54:00.880 --> 00:54:03.920
He must have faded. That's all her fright context to

954
00:54:04.000 --> 00:54:06.280
take your way. Then, oh, I go to take care

955
00:54:06.280 --> 00:54:12.039
of myself. This Stanley he has painted or something.

956
00:54:12.119 --> 00:54:13.760
No kidding on, Texter's a practical.

957
00:54:14.039 --> 00:54:16.320
This isn't a joke. He's all gray about the lips.

958
00:54:16.360 --> 00:54:17.639
I'm looking, I mean, holding mismally.

959
00:54:19.599 --> 00:54:20.039
What's the matter?

960
00:54:20.440 --> 00:54:25.960
Text is all right?

961
00:54:26.599 --> 00:54:27.079
What's the matter?

962
00:54:27.119 --> 00:54:29.960
What is it all right?

963
00:54:30.760 --> 00:54:30.800
No?

964
00:54:31.880 --> 00:54:32.320
He isn't it.

965
00:54:33.880 --> 00:54:35.840
I think he's dead. It's impossible.

966
00:54:36.400 --> 00:54:39.280
The doctor here, open this tolar or something. Just don't

967
00:54:39.360 --> 00:54:45.599
let him lay there, Please let the doctor through time.

968
00:54:45.679 --> 00:54:46.800
What on earth happens the doctor.

969
00:54:46.800 --> 00:54:48.519
Maybe he can tell us that the doctor.

970
00:54:48.360 --> 00:54:52.400
Robert here, crowd, Yeah, let's have a look. Help him

971
00:54:52.400 --> 00:54:56.840
turn this man over there. Looks like he's been suffocated.

972
00:54:57.039 --> 00:55:00.840
Doctor. Is he dead? He's dead, all right, he can't be.

973
00:55:01.639 --> 00:55:04.159
Only a minute ago he was standing here talking with us.

974
00:55:04.199 --> 00:55:06.320
He said something about somebody sticking a needle in.

975
00:55:06.360 --> 00:55:08.360
His hand, cleaned the black people on the back of

976
00:55:08.440 --> 00:55:09.000
his right hand.

977
00:55:09.039 --> 00:55:10.000
You what, don't touch him?

978
00:55:10.280 --> 00:55:10.800
Don't touch it.

979
00:55:11.920 --> 00:55:12.199
Hmm.

980
00:55:12.800 --> 00:55:15.599
It's thin black cardboard, perfect circle, about a quarter an

981
00:55:15.639 --> 00:55:18.559
inch diameter, with a tiny hole in the exact center.

982
00:55:19.280 --> 00:55:19.559
Hmm.

983
00:55:20.679 --> 00:55:22.800
There's a small puncture in the skin on the back

984
00:55:22.840 --> 00:55:24.960
of the right hand, right over the place where the

985
00:55:25.039 --> 00:55:28.440
circular piece of cardboard was. Drop of blood caused the

986
00:55:28.519 --> 00:55:32.280
cardboard to adhere to his hand. Somebody better call the police.

987
00:55:32.320 --> 00:55:32.760
The police.

988
00:55:33.079 --> 00:55:36.000
Why because it looks as if your friend here has

989
00:55:36.119 --> 00:55:36.760
been murdered.

990
00:55:36.880 --> 00:55:38.119
But that couldn't have been murdered.

991
00:55:38.119 --> 00:55:39.320
I was standing right beside.

992
00:55:39.119 --> 00:55:39.719
Him all the time.

993
00:55:39.960 --> 00:55:40.480
And sleep.

994
00:55:40.760 --> 00:55:42.079
Everybody, stay right where you are.

995
00:55:42.280 --> 00:55:44.599
And you over there, call the police department and asked

996
00:55:44.599 --> 00:56:04.079
for hermicide. I'm Detective Sardian Locke. You're the doctor. Called

997
00:56:04.079 --> 00:56:06.280
headquarters yes, that's right. Who's the guy on the floor.

998
00:56:06.480 --> 00:56:07.239
What happened to him?

999
00:56:07.280 --> 00:56:08.000
Willard Dexter?

1000
00:56:08.679 --> 00:56:10.280
As to what happened to him.

1001
00:56:10.239 --> 00:56:10.679
We don't know.

1002
00:56:10.760 --> 00:56:13.960
What you don't know. Who was Nurse Dexter at the time.

1003
00:56:14.239 --> 00:56:15.960
Well, Lieutenant and I were with him.

1004
00:56:16.280 --> 00:56:18.000
I was behind him until with this lady.

1005
00:56:18.039 --> 00:56:19.760
Oh you well, how about that lady?

1006
00:56:19.880 --> 00:56:20.880
Yes, I guess that's right.

1007
00:56:21.159 --> 00:56:23.159
Okay, then I want to take your two ladies and

1008
00:56:23.440 --> 00:56:27.119
you Lieutenant and you mister desided for questioning. We'll go

1009
00:56:27.239 --> 00:56:30.280
in this office here, a doctor, would you come along

1010
00:56:30.320 --> 00:56:31.440
to please argan?

1011
00:56:32.599 --> 00:56:35.760
All right? Just step in there, all right, Blondie, you too,

1012
00:56:36.719 --> 00:56:39.360
go on, get in there.

1013
00:56:39.760 --> 00:56:40.519
Am I arrested?

1014
00:56:40.599 --> 00:56:43.119
Are you look? Blondie? You will be in just about

1015
00:56:43.159 --> 00:56:44.239
one second if you don't get in.

1016
00:56:44.320 --> 00:56:46.679
There, all right, but don't call me blondie.

1017
00:56:46.719 --> 00:56:51.760
He don't let anyone in here. Ah, we got a

1018
00:56:51.800 --> 00:56:56.679
little privacy. Uh, Lieutenant, let's tell your story first. Well,

1019
00:56:57.639 --> 00:57:01.079
we were standing in the crowd. Your name had Max Lurbany, Okay,

1020
00:57:01.159 --> 00:57:03.960
go ahead. Stanley and Dexter and I were at the

1021
00:57:04.039 --> 00:57:08.280
bar in what are they order? Oh h well, Dexter

1022
00:57:08.440 --> 00:57:10.199
was on the right. I was in the middle and

1023
00:57:10.320 --> 00:57:13.480
Stanley was on the left, all right, go on. Dexter

1024
00:57:13.559 --> 00:57:15.639
said that someone stuck a needle in his hand, and

1025
00:57:15.840 --> 00:57:16.760
suddenly he went.

1026
00:57:16.679 --> 00:57:17.760
Limp and fell to the floor.

1027
00:57:18.000 --> 00:57:20.320
Stargeant on the back of his right hand. I found

1028
00:57:20.360 --> 00:57:23.119
this little black cardboard disc. Eh, under the disc is

1029
00:57:23.159 --> 00:57:25.519
a small wound, and I've made a study of poisons.

1030
00:57:26.280 --> 00:57:28.800
I believe that this man Dexter was poisoned.

1031
00:57:28.960 --> 00:57:29.360
Poison.

1032
00:57:29.519 --> 00:57:32.280
Yes, there's a poison which taken internally may do no

1033
00:57:32.360 --> 00:57:35.079
harm at all, but the smallest bit introduced directly into

1034
00:57:35.079 --> 00:57:38.159
the blood stream causes almost immediate paralysis of the nerves

1035
00:57:38.320 --> 00:57:42.679
which control the breathing bod Poison Karrari. H as a

1036
00:57:42.719 --> 00:57:44.760
trace of what seems to be Karrari on the underside

1037
00:57:44.800 --> 00:57:45.599
of that black.

1038
00:57:45.559 --> 00:57:48.280
Cardboard disc, and you'll think he was murdy.

1039
00:57:48.679 --> 00:57:50.559
It appears probable, your idea.

1040
00:57:50.360 --> 00:57:52.840
Doctor, that someone jabbed a poison coated needle in the

1041
00:57:52.920 --> 00:57:53.800
Dexter's hand.

1042
00:57:53.800 --> 00:57:56.079
A minute or so before he collapsed. Why would a

1043
00:57:56.079 --> 00:57:58.800
guy get this stuff, Well, certainly not from the average

1044
00:57:58.880 --> 00:58:02.559
drug store. Prarie is made by the South American Indians.

1045
00:58:02.639 --> 00:58:04.320
It's very rare in this country.

1046
00:58:04.559 --> 00:58:05.840
Say Stanley, did.

1047
00:58:05.760 --> 00:58:08.480
You notice Dexter died at the same time Courts was

1048
00:58:08.519 --> 00:58:11.519
executing it, I hadn't select that the spy was electricated. Yes,

1049
00:58:11.559 --> 00:58:14.320
Sergeant Dexter was the clerk in the Army Ordnance Department

1050
00:58:14.320 --> 00:58:15.480
who suspected Courts.

1051
00:58:15.239 --> 00:58:16.199
And tipped off the FBI.

1052
00:58:16.400 --> 00:58:18.840
Eh, it couldn't have been a coincidence that they both

1053
00:58:18.920 --> 00:58:20.320
died it practically the same minute.

1054
00:58:20.880 --> 00:58:24.400
You don't suppose to hide dominator falls anything yet such

1055
00:58:24.920 --> 00:58:27.239
photo and fingerprint boys are here, right, will you dargan?

1056
00:58:27.880 --> 00:58:30.119
Now everyone just said tied him in it.

1057
00:58:31.960 --> 00:58:35.480
Say that's a rather unusual way to kill somebody, don't

1058
00:58:35.480 --> 00:58:38.800
you think. I wonder if that police sergeant is right

1059
00:58:39.480 --> 00:58:43.159
and the killer really is one of those four people. Wow,

1060
00:58:43.880 --> 00:58:45.679
it's too bad our time is all up. Or we

1061
00:58:45.679 --> 00:58:48.599
could stay around and find out. I'm afraid you'll have

1062
00:58:48.679 --> 00:58:51.320
to wait until next time, when we present the entire

1063
00:58:51.440 --> 00:58:58.239
story of death in the Doghouse. This is Sergeant X

1064
00:58:58.719 --> 00:59:05.679
closing the doors of the mystery playhouse. Good Night sleep type.

1065
00:59:45.239 --> 00:59:47.800
This is the Armed Forces Radio Service.

1066
01:00:13.159 --> 01:00:16.239
Well, that is a very fair point. You know, these

1067
01:00:16.559 --> 01:00:21.880
these stories don't exactly help with the the chills that

1068
01:00:22.000 --> 01:00:25.880
we're feeling, and do they? But they are all so

1069
01:00:26.159 --> 01:00:30.880
very much fun. What's that what's that. Well, I'm not

1070
01:00:31.000 --> 01:00:34.960
really sure. I'm sure. I suppose we'll find out together.

1071
01:00:36.840 --> 01:00:40.400
But how about this one? This one is all about

1072
01:00:40.480 --> 01:00:44.719
how important it is to be truthful with your friends,

1073
01:00:45.960 --> 01:00:55.519

Ty hellow suspense.

1088
01:02:04.880 --> 01:02:08.440
Accident reports submitted to Police Inspector Brandon from Lieutenant Steve Healy,

1089
01:02:09.360 --> 01:02:12.800
placed Fifteenth Street and Fourth Avenue, time two forty five pm,

1090
01:02:13.280 --> 01:02:18.719
eleven remarks. Ernest Bowers, age thirty four, was crossing the

1091
01:02:18.800 --> 01:02:21.840
intersection as signal light changed from green to red. A

1092
01:02:21.960 --> 01:02:24.760
car driven by Theodore Toby made legal right turn from

1093
01:02:24.800 --> 01:02:26.719
fifteenth Street into Fourth Avenue.

1094
01:02:28.199 --> 01:02:41.000
Hey, hangout, I'm smart, Come on now, let me throw

1095
01:02:42.239 --> 01:02:45.760
all right, stand back, crazy hurt, bad officer.

1096
01:02:45.840 --> 01:02:47.400
I didn't see him, honest, I said't.

1097
01:02:47.679 --> 01:02:48.639
I had the right of way.

1098
01:02:49.039 --> 01:02:51.519
Fans start one of your people. Call for an ambulance.

1099
01:02:51.840 --> 01:02:54.760
Yeah you okay, move back, move back.

1100
01:02:55.519 --> 01:02:56.519
He's pleading here.

1101
01:02:56.920 --> 01:02:57.840
I'll prop up his head.

1102
01:02:57.960 --> 01:03:03.360
Yeah, he was his jacket. Aw, he's limbs. It was

1103
01:03:03.440 --> 01:03:04.159
just like he's dead.

1104
01:03:09.840 --> 01:03:13.440
Yes, en hiss powers felt like he was dead.

1105
01:03:14.880 --> 01:03:19.519
Ernest's powers suffered from cataalepsy, a strange disease. He carried

1106
01:03:19.519 --> 01:03:21.840
at all times a note in his inside coat pocket

1107
01:03:21.920 --> 01:03:24.360
stating that he was a cataleptic and that in the

1108
01:03:24.440 --> 01:03:27.360
event of seeming death, his wife should be immediately notified

1109
01:03:27.920 --> 01:03:30.119
or as doctor in the event his wife is unavailable.

1110
01:03:31.480 --> 01:03:35.239
The letter also requested that no autopsy or embalming should

1111
01:03:35.239 --> 01:03:38.199
be performed on his body for seventy two hours, although

1112
01:03:38.239 --> 01:03:40.519
in his particular case the duration of the attacks were

1113
01:03:40.639 --> 01:03:41.960
usually four.

1114
01:03:41.800 --> 01:03:42.480
Hours or less.

1115
01:03:44.039 --> 01:03:45.599
Ernest Powers also.

1116
01:03:45.519 --> 01:03:50.480
Wore a sterling silver bracelet with an inscription reading, do

1117
01:03:50.679 --> 01:03:51.920
not embalm me.

1118
01:03:53.400 --> 01:03:54.440
I am not dead.

1119
01:03:55.880 --> 01:03:58.000
Catalypsy is a disease of the nerves and mind.

1120
01:03:58.079 --> 01:04:00.280
The physical condition of the catalyptic when he is under

1121
01:04:00.320 --> 01:04:04.039
a spell closely resemble depth in all aspects, including the

1122
01:04:04.079 --> 01:04:07.960
primary stages of Brigham Artists. Officer Rabbit was at the

1123
01:04:08.000 --> 01:04:10.159
scene of the accident. He administered first aid to the

1124
01:04:10.199 --> 01:04:12.599
injured man before making out his revolt.

1125
01:04:15.199 --> 01:04:18.320
And that on a sampter Bladonto's like just to cut

1126
01:04:18.360 --> 01:04:20.679
on his forehead when he hit the ground. Nothing much.

1127
01:04:20.960 --> 01:04:22.400
He can't be hurt bad, Officer.

1128
01:04:22.840 --> 01:04:23.679
I didn't hit him hard.

1129
01:04:23.920 --> 01:04:25.239
That's right, Officer, I saw it.

1130
01:04:25.519 --> 01:04:27.280
I look like this a little bummer.

1131
01:04:27.079 --> 01:04:29.920
All right now, cleear back, cleear black. Let's have a

1132
01:04:29.960 --> 01:04:33.480
little air here. I'll have to take down some information.

1133
01:04:33.599 --> 01:04:35.199
What's your name, Theodore Toby?

1134
01:04:35.400 --> 01:04:36.840
Here? Here's my license?

1135
01:04:36.920 --> 01:04:39.760
Hey, hey, you kids, how one of those kids do.

1136
01:04:42.400 --> 01:04:42.559
Well?

1137
01:04:42.599 --> 01:04:43.199
Here it comes.

1138
01:04:43.840 --> 01:04:44.719
I hope he's all right.

1139
01:04:45.679 --> 01:04:47.119
Doesn't look like he's breathing.

1140
01:04:47.639 --> 01:04:49.239
My god, you haint I told you.

1141
01:04:49.360 --> 01:04:49.960
To get back.

1142
01:04:50.280 --> 01:04:50.719
Come out.

1143
01:04:50.840 --> 01:04:52.800
He's back here.

1144
01:04:54.400 --> 01:04:54.519
Right.

1145
01:04:54.639 --> 01:04:55.440
Let just throw here.

1146
01:04:55.400 --> 01:04:59.800
Please, glad you got here. He's hot cold. Yeah, I say,

1147
01:05:00.159 --> 01:05:00.760
is uh?

1148
01:05:01.159 --> 01:05:01.679
Have a look?

1149
01:05:02.159 --> 01:05:03.239
Well, let's get him away.

1150
01:05:04.440 --> 01:05:05.000
He's dead.

1151
01:05:05.719 --> 01:05:07.480
Well anyway, it didn't happen in the coach.

1152
01:05:07.719 --> 01:05:11.119
Okay, do take him away. Keep them back, office, will you? Okay,

1153
01:05:11.280 --> 01:05:16.599
keep back clear offs on. It's the second one today. Yeah,

1154
01:05:17.519 --> 01:05:17.800
let's go.

1155
01:05:20.000 --> 01:05:21.760
Whose jacket was that he was laying on?

1156
01:05:22.199 --> 01:05:23.440
I don't know, did you pick it up?

1157
01:05:23.480 --> 01:05:23.519
No?

1158
01:05:24.159 --> 01:05:26.519
Hey, officer, where's the jacket?

1159
01:05:27.559 --> 01:05:29.159
But the jacket, the guy's jacket?

1160
01:05:29.440 --> 01:05:31.239
Oh, oh my.

1161
01:05:31.519 --> 01:05:32.400
Gosh, it's gone.

1162
01:05:32.719 --> 01:05:35.280
Okay, Oh, those chicks have a mind.

1163
01:05:35.760 --> 01:05:36.360
Let's go pay.

1164
01:05:46.719 --> 01:05:50.480
Dennis Bowers had lost the identification of his condition. The

1165
01:05:50.599 --> 01:05:53.320
letter was in the inside pocket of his jacket. The

1166
01:05:53.440 --> 01:05:56.079
silver chain he wore on his left wrist had snapped

1167
01:05:56.079 --> 01:05:59.840
and fallen into the pavement. Two youngsters picked up the chain. Robertman,

1168
01:05:59.880 --> 01:06:02.360
now aged nine and a half. Then Tommy Stone a ate.

1169
01:06:04.880 --> 01:06:06.960
Hey, that cop yelled at us. Did you hear it?

1170
01:06:07.199 --> 01:06:07.400
Yeah?

1171
01:06:07.880 --> 01:06:09.039
Maybe we should give it back?

1172
01:06:09.199 --> 01:06:09.320
Now?

1173
01:06:09.480 --> 01:06:11.119
What for so he can keep it?

1174
01:06:11.360 --> 01:06:13.239
Let's go around the back to your father shop, Bob.

1175
01:06:14.760 --> 01:06:15.880
Sure's a nice change.

1176
01:06:16.480 --> 01:06:17.599
Hey, who's writing on it?

1177
01:06:17.880 --> 01:06:19.519
Maybe it's a guy's name? Will he hurt?

1178
01:06:19.599 --> 01:06:19.760
Dad?

1179
01:06:20.159 --> 01:06:22.440
Hey, what's it saying just a second, we'll be out

1180

Yeah, Pop's gone home.

1182
01:06:24.639 --> 01:06:25.719

1183
01:06:26.079 --> 01:06:27.039
Wait a second, will you?

All right, they're going to get out of here.

So now then.

1239
01:08:34.600 --> 01:08:38.359
They sold the melted chain for a dollar thirty to

1240
01:08:38.479 --> 01:08:44.159
a dealer one dollar and thirty cents. But the coat,

1241
01:08:44.880 --> 01:08:46.840
the coat was the principal thing in the coat. In

1242
01:08:46.920 --> 01:08:49.840
the inside pocket was the letter. The information about Ernest

1243
01:08:49.880 --> 01:08:53.199
Bower's condition was in the lever, the instructions that could

1244
01:08:53.239 --> 01:08:56.479
save his life. The coat was picked up from the

1245
01:08:56.520 --> 01:09:01.039
street by honest Jerry Murdoch. Now there's a big sign

1246
01:09:01.119 --> 01:09:04.880
near the corner of fifteenth Street. It says honest Jerry

1247
01:09:04.960 --> 01:09:08.479
Murdoch swap shop. He brought the coat into a store,

1248
01:09:08.560 --> 01:09:10.920
rummaged around on his shelves until he found some cleaner,

1249
01:09:11.439 --> 01:09:12.560
then started to clean the.

1250
01:09:12.560 --> 01:09:17.520
Bloodstains uh, I'll look for a sports chack just a moment.

Some cheap he's gonna look so hot for eight bucks.

1260
01:09:38.479 --> 01:09:39.439
From eight to twelve.

1261
01:09:40.720 --> 01:09:41.640
Well, I'll pick the one.

1262
01:09:43.680 --> 01:09:43.960

1269
01:09:53.520 --> 01:09:56.760
Yeah, it's hind of tight around his shoulders. Yeah, that

1270
01:09:56.840 --> 01:09:59.720
looks cheesy. Well, I guess you ain't got what I want.

01:10:00.079 --> 01:10:03.000
Wait, wait a minute, waite, what's your hurry? I'm just

1272
01:10:03.199 --> 01:10:05.640
putting a new one in stock over here by the county.

1273
01:10:05.800 --> 01:10:08.880

That fills all right?

1279
01:10:15.560 --> 01:10:17.600
All right, it's kind of stiff in front.

1280
01:10:17.840 --> 01:10:19.800
It's almost a new way and that you'll break it in.

1281
01:10:19.880 --> 01:10:21.439
It feels like cardboarders.

1282
01:10:21.600 --> 01:10:24.880
Look you want it five dollars? Okay, there might be

1283
01:10:25.000 --> 01:10:27.000
still a couple stains on it. I had have time

1284
01:10:27.079 --> 01:10:28.960
to take them out. You use some cleaner on her

1285
01:10:29.000 --> 01:10:29.880
to bring it to the tailors.

1286
01:10:29.920 --> 01:10:31.359
He'll spot it. It'll be better than new.

01:10:50.439 --> 01:10:53.079

His wife thinks, So where can I reach her?

to the in turn quarters and settled down to reading

1325
01:12:12.359 --> 01:12:16.079
the sports page of the afternoon paper. At that moment,

1326
01:12:16.119 --> 01:12:18.159
if anyone had been in Receiving Room B of the

1327
01:12:18.239 --> 01:12:21.079
Veda General Hospital, where the body of Ernest's powers lay

1328
01:12:21.119 --> 01:12:24.800
on the patient carriage, they would have seen a fly

1329
01:12:25.399 --> 01:12:30.439
crawl slowly across the face of the dead man, and

1330
01:12:30.520 --> 01:12:45.079
they would have seen his nose twitch. For suspense, Rama

01:16:01.159 --> 01:16:06.079
a period of seventy two hours, neither by autopsy nor

1377
01:16:06.479 --> 01:16:12.359
by embalming. Although the maximum periods of my attack usually

1378
01:16:12.560 --> 01:16:15.920
do not exceed four hours. Please tell phone my wife,

1379
01:16:15.960 --> 01:16:18.640
missus Margaret Bowers, at putting one one two three one.

1380
01:16:18.760 --> 01:16:21.279
This is a boarding house address eight four one one

1381
01:16:21.319 --> 01:16:24.840
half West twenty fifth Street. If she is not there,

1382
01:16:24.960 --> 01:16:27.239
please try asks mister four three four to two to two.

1383
01:16:27.439 --> 01:16:31.000
This is the number of doctor Benton. It is of

1384
01:16:31.239 --> 01:16:36.600
vital importance. It may mean my life. Thank you, Ernest Flowers.

1385
01:16:38.199 --> 01:16:39.199
Where'd you get that jacket?

1386
01:16:39.279 --> 01:16:40.039
Harry had?

1387
01:16:40.119 --> 01:16:41.039
Honest Jerry murder?

1388
01:16:41.319 --> 01:16:42.159
Gee? I wonder what we can do?

1389
01:16:42.279 --> 01:16:44.600
Well, not that it's probably forgotten already. Somebody sold the

1390
01:16:44.640 --> 01:16:46.319
jacket to them, forgot to take the letter of it.

1391
01:16:46.399 --> 01:16:49.159
Sounds like something a guy i'd forget, but it might

1392
01:16:49.239 --> 01:16:52.720
be important. Say look at that, Harry. Those spots look

1393
01:16:52.840 --> 01:16:57.319
like blood, not too dark. That's the color that blood turns.

1394
01:16:57.399 --> 01:16:58.560
I'm gonna telephone that now.

1395
01:16:58.680 --> 01:17:01.039
Well, go ahead, but I think your waist you'll hush?

1396
01:17:01.119 --> 01:17:01.800
Will you a minute?

1397
01:17:02.359 --> 01:17:03.279
Crying out loud?

1398
01:17:09.880 --> 01:17:13.840
Hello, I I'd like to talk to missus. Uh Bowers?

1399
01:17:14.199 --> 01:17:16.479
S Well, how do you know you didn't even go

1400
01:17:16.560 --> 01:17:19.680
to fight out? And you ain't the first after? Who

1401
01:17:19.760 --> 01:17:20.960
else wanted to get in touch with her?

1402
01:17:21.079 --> 01:17:21.239
Oh?

1403
01:17:21.399 --> 01:17:22.279
Somebody I don't know.

1404
01:17:22.760 --> 01:17:26.279
Oh, well, thank you there. You see you're wasting your time.

1405
01:17:26.359 --> 01:17:27.359
I'll try that doctor.

1406
01:17:27.520 --> 01:17:30.600
Oh, for having's sake, turn into a regular busy fither.

1407
01:17:30.800 --> 01:17:31.680
Think of somebody else.

1408
01:17:32.079 --> 01:17:33.039
Well, i'm getting hungry.

1409
01:17:33.199 --> 01:17:34.000
Oh hush, will you?

1410
01:17:34.279 --> 01:17:34.640
Oh h.

1411
01:17:36.479 --> 01:17:37.279
How about some things?

1412
01:17:37.359 --> 01:17:40.840
It's cooking? It's cooking. Honestly, I can't get it out

1413
01:17:40.880 --> 01:17:44.159
of my head. That guy, whoever he is, just lying

1414
01:17:44.199 --> 01:17:46.399
there and people thinking him dead when he ain't. Maybe

1415
01:17:46.479 --> 01:17:50.960
doing things to him. Gee, what's embalming?

1416
01:17:51.760 --> 01:17:51.880
Oh?

1417
01:17:52.000 --> 01:17:53.960
They do that at the more it gets, preparing his

1418
01:17:54.039 --> 01:17:56.279
body for burial. I think they take all the blood out.

1419
01:17:56.199 --> 01:17:56.720
Of his veins.

1420
01:17:57.439 --> 01:18:00.039
That would kill him if he wasn't already dead, and

1421
01:18:00.239 --> 01:18:02.439
kill him any dinner, Harry, I'm going to find out

1422
01:18:02.439 --> 01:18:04.159
about that code. Now, where's this place you bought?

1423
01:18:04.199 --> 01:18:04.279
Now?

1424
01:18:04.319 --> 01:18:06.399
Wait a minute, Francis, I put in a good day's work.

1425
01:18:06.439 --> 01:18:08.439
I'm tired. I don't want to run around the city

1426
01:18:08.439 --> 01:18:09.840
looking for something I don't even know about it.

1427
01:18:09.840 --> 01:18:10.880
Well, i'll go myself.

1428
01:18:10.920 --> 01:18:12.760
How about me at home here while you'll go out.

1429
01:18:13.079 --> 01:18:13.720
I want to eat.

1430
01:18:13.760 --> 01:18:14.279
I'm hungry.

1431
01:18:14.399 --> 01:18:17.319
Dinner won't be ready for another fifteen minutes. Anyway, where's

1432
01:18:17.359 --> 01:18:17.760
the place?

1433
01:18:17.960 --> 01:18:20.520
Oh all right, I'll go with you.

1434
01:18:30.319 --> 01:18:33.239
Sure, so, yeah, we want to find out about the

1435
01:18:33.239 --> 01:18:34.640
man next door. Do you know when we'll come back?

1436
01:18:36.199 --> 01:18:36.399
Yeah?

1437
01:18:36.720 --> 01:18:40.239
No, no, he is, And Harry, listen, go take another book.

1438
01:18:40.359 --> 01:18:41.319
I'll try that number again.

1439
01:18:41.560 --> 01:18:42.680
Oh I haven't said.

1440
01:18:55.600 --> 01:18:57.640
Oh, well.

1441
01:18:59.079 --> 01:19:02.000
I answer, I'm using this.

1442
01:19:02.239 --> 01:19:03.760
Oh well, he ain't back yet.

1443
01:19:03.760 --> 01:19:05.199
But what does his signs say? Ten minutes?

1444
01:19:05.279 --> 01:19:06.920
Yeah, but those guys put up signs like that if

1445
01:19:06.920 --> 01:19:08.359
they're going away for an hour, We'll.

1446
01:19:08.319 --> 01:19:10.199
Just wait a couple of more minutes. Oh, come on,

1447
01:19:12.560 --> 01:19:17.039
is missus Bowers in? No, uh, mister Bowers, he's dead.

1448
01:19:17.600 --> 01:19:19.279
He is, that's what they tell me.

1449
01:19:19.520 --> 01:19:21.319
Look, listen, were you bothering me?

1450
01:19:21.439 --> 01:19:21.680
Lady?

1451
01:19:21.760 --> 01:19:23.520
I got a meal set up on the table. I

1452
01:19:23.640 --> 01:19:26.439
can't be answering a million questions. All I want to

1453
01:19:26.479 --> 01:19:27.920
know is when mister Bowers died.

1454
01:19:28.079 --> 01:19:28.800
How do I know?

1455
01:19:29.039 --> 01:19:33.640
Ask Missus Bowers. She'll be home. So, yeah, well thanks, Well,

1456
01:19:34.000 --> 01:19:37.239
mister Bowers is dead. I've found that out. I told you, Well,

1457
01:19:37.279 --> 01:19:39.840
what about the letter? Then what if he did? What

1458
01:19:39.920 --> 01:19:40.960
if the only think he's dead?

1459
01:19:42.840 --> 01:19:45.680
If I have to well without me, then we'll just

1460
01:19:45.800 --> 01:19:46.640
do as you please.

1461
01:19:46.680 --> 01:19:47.239
I'll be home.

1462
01:19:47.319 --> 01:19:49.720

1463
01:19:49.760 --> 01:19:51.279

01:19:51.319 --> 01:19:51.920

01:19:52.159 --> 01:19:52.840
Then that's all.

1466
01:19:53.039 --> 01:19:53.600
What do you mean?

1467
01:19:53.720 --> 01:19:55.039
That's all just what I said.

1468
01:19:55.199 --> 01:19:57.760
That's all Harry, the trouble with you as you haven't

1469
01:19:57.760 --> 01:19:58.479

A light blue one with little red boxes in it.

1487
01:20:41.760 --> 01:20:42.800
It had a few stains on it.

1488

Oh sorry, I can't think anything back once show No, no, no.

Mister?

1492
01:20:48.359 --> 01:20:48.680
Murdoch.

1493
01:20:48.880 --> 01:20:50.159
Can I remember where I got it?

1494
01:20:50.439 --> 01:20:52.159
Long ago? Was it very long ago?

1495
01:20:52.479 --> 01:20:54.239
I don't see wach any of your business when I

1496
01:20:54.279 --> 01:20:54.479
got it?

1497
01:20:54.560 --> 01:20:56.119
Well, it may be important. I've been trying to reach

1498
01:20:56.159 --> 01:20:58.359
the numbers, the doctor's numbers always busy, and his his

1499
01:20:58.800 --> 01:20:59.760
his wife isn't home yet.

1500
01:20:59.880 --> 01:21:01.119
I don't know what you're talking about.

1501
01:21:01.319 --> 01:21:03.000
Tell me one thing, just one thing. Did you have

1502
01:21:03.159 --> 01:21:06.399
the jacket in here a long time? Well, oh, please listen,

1503
01:21:06.439 --> 01:21:07.399
it's very important.

1504
01:21:07.680 --> 01:21:10.479
Well no, no, I just got it in this afternoon.

1505
01:21:10.560 --> 01:21:11.359
But where did you get it?

1506
01:21:11.560 --> 01:21:13.560
Look, you said one question? He asked that. I answered,

1507
01:21:13.560 --> 01:21:14.039
that's all.

1508
01:21:14.960 --> 01:21:15.880
There was blood on it.

1509
01:21:16.079 --> 01:21:17.239
Well that I can't help.

1510
01:21:17.359 --> 01:21:17.600
Listen.

1511
01:21:17.680 --> 01:21:19.560
If that man's alive and they do anything to him,

1512
01:21:19.560 --> 01:21:21.640
I'll just never get over it. I'll never be able

1513
01:21:21.640 --> 01:21:22.439
to live with myself.

1514
01:21:22.479 --> 01:21:23.359
What are you talking about?

1515
01:21:23.439 --> 01:21:23.920
Listen to me.

1516
01:21:24.640 --> 01:21:24.880
Yeah.

1517
01:21:25.720 --> 01:21:28.079
There was a letter in the inside pocket of that jacket,

1518
01:21:28.159 --> 01:21:31.119
you see. It said that Ernest Bauers was a cataleptic.

1519
01:21:31.720 --> 01:21:33.439
What's said he goes into fil No, no, no.

1520
01:21:33.479 --> 01:21:36.399
A cataleptic is somebody who looks like he's dead at times,

1521
01:21:36.600 --> 01:21:39.039
and he isn't. He goes into a spell and it

1522
01:21:39.119 --> 01:21:41.680
looks as though he's dead. You see, sometimes they take

1523
01:21:41.720 --> 01:21:45.239
dead bodies to the morgim and bomb them. That means

1524
01:21:45.279 --> 01:21:46.800
they take all the blood out of their veins. Now, now,

1525
01:21:46.880 --> 01:21:49.479
this fellow Bowers is a cataleptic. I don't know whether

1526
01:21:49.520 --> 01:21:51.560
he's dead or alive. Read and if he's worrying about

1527
01:21:51.560 --> 01:21:52.760
this letter. But I got to find out.

1528
01:21:54.560 --> 01:21:56.800
There was what what an accident before?

1529
01:21:57.279 --> 01:21:57.720
Who is in it?

1530
01:21:57.800 --> 01:21:59.720
I don't know, Believe me, lady, I didn't know anything.

1531
01:21:59.479 --> 01:21:59.920
About all that.

1532
01:22:00.520 --> 01:22:02.439
You think that this guy was taking away an ambulance

1533
01:22:02.560 --> 01:22:03.279
was a catalepticy?

1534
01:22:03.359 --> 01:22:04.199
That coat was it his?

1535
01:22:04.720 --> 01:22:06.359
Yeah, lady, but it was left there in the street.

1536
01:22:06.359 --> 01:22:08.399
They drove away and left who the ambulance?

1537
01:22:08.439 --> 01:22:09.479
What ambulance? I don't know.

1538
01:22:09.600 --> 01:22:11.000
It was on the corner of the cop was there?

1539
01:22:11.079 --> 01:22:12.920
He told somebody to call an ambulance and came and

1540
01:22:12.960 --> 01:22:13.600
took away the man.

1541
01:22:13.760 --> 01:22:14.880
Is that the cop out there right now?

1542
01:22:14.920 --> 01:22:15.039
Oh?

1543
01:22:15.119 --> 01:22:15.279
Yeah?

1544
01:22:15.279 --> 01:22:16.720
But look, look you're gonna protect me.

1545
01:22:16.800 --> 01:22:18.680
I ain't done anything wrong. I didn't know anything like

1546
01:22:18.760 --> 01:22:19.279
this had happened.

1547
01:22:19.319 --> 01:22:22.520
I've never taken a cone of Officer.

1548
01:22:30.840 --> 01:22:32.960
Ernest Bowers lay on a slab.

1549
01:22:33.119 --> 01:22:36.800
But the more, if you were alive, probabilities were that

1550
01:22:36.840 --> 01:22:41.000
he would regain consciousness before six forty five. The twoing

1551
01:22:41.119 --> 01:22:43.800
bombers on Judy at the time had decided to get

1552
01:22:43.840 --> 01:22:46.479
a fight to me when the phone rang.

1553
01:22:47.039 --> 01:22:50.439
Ever, we're going out, d Yeah, I know. Another one

1554
01:22:50.600 --> 01:22:53.399
just came and we got it here. Oh what's a rush?

1555
01:22:54.279 --> 01:22:54.479
Ah?

1556
01:22:54.680 --> 01:22:56.760
No, we just want to grab a cup of coffee.

1557
01:22:56.800 --> 01:22:57.680
We'll get right on it.

1558
01:22:58.760 --> 01:23:00.359
Was it our wall of it comes in when we

1559
01:23:00.479 --> 01:23:03.760
want to have it. Oh, oh we can go home

1560
01:23:03.840 --> 01:23:06.079
after Ah. That puts a different complexion.

1561
01:23:06.920 --> 01:23:10.640
Okay, yeah, Hey, what time is it? Anthony?

1562
01:23:11.720 --> 01:23:14.159
Good doc says if we embomb this one now, we

1563
01:23:14.199 --> 01:23:14.640
can go home.

1564
01:23:14.760 --> 01:23:15.680
Let's start in then.

1565
01:23:16.000 --> 01:23:22.399
I'm hungry, Okay, I'll start them older, Yeah, young guy.

1566
01:23:22.560 --> 01:23:23.479
Any yeah.

1567
01:23:24.479 --> 01:23:26.600
I was saying to the wife about that yesterday.

1568
01:23:26.720 --> 01:23:28.399
Oh, get the injector out with you, Tony.

1569
01:23:28.760 --> 01:23:32.239
She was saying, more and more people die older and older.

1570
01:23:32.479 --> 01:23:32.680
Here.

1571
01:23:34.000 --> 01:23:35.760
Yeah, it looks like we can open through the neck.

1572
01:23:36.000 --> 01:23:39.680
Yeah, any piece of that Guze, I said to Velma,

1573
01:23:39.920 --> 01:23:41.600
she should be around this place a while.

1574
01:23:41.800 --> 01:23:42.880
We get them all ages.

1575
01:23:43.479 --> 01:23:44.199
You want me to do it?

1576
01:23:44.520 --> 01:23:46.000
No, no, you get the injector ready.

1577
01:23:47.840 --> 01:23:48.359
Look at him.

1578
01:23:49.399 --> 01:23:51.479
You'd never think that such a little thing like his

1579
01:23:51.640 --> 01:23:55.920
heart stops beating could make him dead and not alive. Yeah, okay,

1580
01:23:57.000 --> 01:24:06.199
I'll hold a steady with you. Yeah, ready just a second, yep, ah,

1581
01:24:06.479 --> 01:24:08.159
right here we go.

1582
01:24:10.520 --> 01:24:15.000
H what's the matter my glasses they're clouding up?

1583
01:24:15.960 --> 01:24:16.600
Take him off.

1584
01:24:17.039 --> 01:24:18.479
Ah, that's sorry, I'll just clean him.

1585
01:24:20.159 --> 01:24:21.039
What DoD wife say to that?

1586
01:24:21.560 --> 01:24:23.279
What oh about all ages?

1587
01:24:23.359 --> 01:24:23.560
Yeah?

1588
01:24:23.760 --> 01:24:26.159
Oh she didn't have anything to say, only that most

1589
01:24:26.199 --> 01:24:27.960
of the guys we deal would probably come to a

1590
01:24:28.079 --> 01:24:28.640
violent end.

1591
01:24:29.880 --> 01:24:30.439
Something in that.

1592
01:24:30.760 --> 01:24:37.800
Yeah, okay, I got my glasses clean. Ah, let's see here. Hmm,

1593
01:24:38.800 --> 01:24:43.880
what's the matter they're steamed up again? That's funny. Every

1594
01:24:43.960 --> 01:24:49.439
time I bend over and knit, I wondered what Ah,

1595
01:24:50.079 --> 01:24:51.520
it must be my imagination?

1596
01:24:51.760 --> 01:24:53.039
What oh?

1597
01:24:53.439 --> 01:24:56.800
I could have sworn this guy was breathing on my glasses?

1598
01:24:58.319 --> 01:24:58.479
Is he?

1599
01:24:59.439 --> 01:24:59.560
Na?

1600
01:25:00.000 --> 01:25:00.119
Oh?

1601
01:25:00.199 --> 01:25:01.960
Could he? Oh?

1602
01:25:02.079 --> 01:25:03.000
Come on, then let's go.

1603
01:25:03.640 --> 01:25:05.159
It's a quarter to seven already.

1604
01:25:05.279 --> 01:25:05.439
Yeah.

1605
01:25:06.960 --> 01:25:08.800
Oh, hold it, I'll get the phone. No, now, let's

1606
01:25:08.840 --> 01:25:14.640
get this started first. Okay, we'll just stop. Huh, huh,

1607
01:25:15.279 --> 01:25:16.079
what's the matter with you?

1608
01:25:16.840 --> 01:25:20.960
I thought I saw this guy's hand twitch.

1609
01:25:21.680 --> 01:25:22.680
Don't be silly.

1610
01:25:23.680 --> 01:25:28.119
Sure, give me a scare. Let's wait a second.

1611
01:25:28.319 --> 01:25:29.000
I'll get the phone.

1612
01:25:29.239 --> 01:25:31.560
It'll probably be another job, and we'll never get out

1613
01:25:31.600 --> 01:25:32.399
of here and illt a ring.

1614
01:25:32.560 --> 01:25:34.840
But the doc said we could go home after Oh.

1615
01:25:35.199 --> 01:25:38.079
All right, Oh come on, let's get this thing over

1616
01:25:38.199 --> 01:25:38.880
with out.

1617
01:25:39.520 --> 01:25:41.159
Okay, now give me the knife again.

1618
01:25:42.239 --> 01:25:51.680
Ah ah, I'll make a nice neat little incision, right, Hey, Tony, Yeah,

1619
01:25:52.319 --> 01:25:54.359
Look I'm bent over like this.

1620
01:25:54.600 --> 01:25:58.960
See I ain't gonna move. My glasses are full of

1621
01:25:59.039 --> 01:25:59.760
steam again.

1622
01:26:01.600 --> 01:26:02.840
Oh lord, is.

1623
01:26:04.359 --> 01:26:04.800
He alive?

1624
01:26:06.880 --> 01:26:08.479
Hey, we'll look at me.

1625
01:26:08.720 --> 01:26:09.840
I'm shaken all over.

1626
01:26:10.960 --> 01:26:11.520
Look at him?

1627
01:26:11.600 --> 01:26:13.520
How look at his lips?

1628
01:26:13.640 --> 01:26:18.000
Huh listen, shut that thing off.

1629
01:26:55.319 --> 01:26:58.920
Apparently the life of Ernest Bowers was worth one dollar

1630
01:26:59.039 --> 01:27:01.880
and thirty cents for a silver bracelet to the boys

1631
01:27:01.920 --> 01:27:05.399
who ran away with it, and five dollars for a

1632
01:27:05.479 --> 01:27:11.079
blood stained jacket to honest Jerry Murdoch. Their petty thefts

1633
01:27:11.119 --> 01:27:14.159
brought a man to the brink of death. As for

1634
01:27:14.239 --> 01:27:17.000
the busy telephone in the doctor's office, it wasn't busy

1635
01:27:17.119 --> 01:27:21.840
at all. The good doctor had unwittingly replaced the receiver

1636
01:27:22.039 --> 01:27:24.079
on the phone stand incorrect.

1637
01:27:25.720 --> 01:27:26.039
There is.

1638
01:27:27.279 --> 01:27:30.520
There's just one more episode, which perhaps does not belong

1639
01:27:30.720 --> 01:27:33.960
in an accident report, but which I would like to include.

1640
01:27:35.479 --> 01:27:39.680
After regaining full consciousness. Ernest Bowers put in a telephone

1641
01:27:39.800 --> 01:27:41.680
call from the morgue.

1642
01:27:46.159 --> 01:27:47.920
Hello, hello, Missus Brawley.

1643
01:27:48.079 --> 01:27:49.119
Is Missus Bowers in?

1644
01:27:50.039 --> 01:27:54.680
I don't know, I'll say, jose see Missus Bowers at home?

1645
01:27:55.960 --> 01:27:56.479
Who are that?

1646
01:27:56.800 --> 01:27:57.920
This is mister Bowers.

1647
01:27:58.520 --> 01:28:03.159
How as they told me you was dead the hospital

1648
01:28:03.279 --> 01:28:03.560
call it.

1649
01:28:03.920 --> 01:28:05.760
I know, Missus Brawley, but they made a mistake.

1650
01:28:06.119 --> 01:28:09.560
Oh well, his is Hello Ernest.

1651
01:28:10.119 --> 01:28:11.439
Where are you well, darling?

1652
01:28:11.479 --> 01:28:12.560
It is quite a long story.

1653
01:28:12.760 --> 01:28:15.279
Well never mind, you get right home. You hear your

1654
01:28:15.319 --> 01:28:16.600
dinner's getting ice cold.

1655
01:28:30.880 --> 01:28:34.039
Suspind presented by Roma Wines.

1656
01:28:34.279 --> 01:28:40.520
Roma Roma America's favorite wines. In just one moment, we'll

1657
01:28:40.560 --> 01:28:43.359
have a special announcement of interest to our suspense listeners.

1658
01:28:44.399 --> 01:28:47.680
This is Truman Bradley reminding you that Roma wines taste

1659
01:28:47.720 --> 01:28:51.840
better because Roma selects better tasting wines from the world's

1660
01:28:51.880 --> 01:28:56.520
greatest wine reserves. Yes, in Roma wine, you enjoy an

1661
01:28:56.600 --> 01:29:02.239
extra premium goodness in fuller bouquet, richer body, and better taste.

1662
01:29:02.920 --> 01:29:07.039
That's why more Americans enjoy Roma than any other wine.

1663
01:29:07.840 --> 01:29:13.760
So insist on Roma, a premium wine in everything but price. Tomorrow,

1664
01:29:14.399 --> 01:29:18.800
enjoy the ruby richness of Roma. California Port delicious after

1665
01:29:18.960 --> 01:29:24.600
dinner ideal for entertaining. Now, it is my pleasure to

1666
01:29:24.680 --> 01:29:29.800
introduce mister Don Thornberg, vice President of the Columbia Broadcasting System.

1667
01:29:31.119 --> 01:29:36.079
Ladies and gentlemen, your regular suspense listeners, will I'm sure

1668
01:29:36.279 --> 01:29:40.359
be pleased to know that your suspense program has won

1670
01:29:46.079 --> 01:29:51.479
Excellence in Radio Drama in behalf of the Columbia Broadcasting System.

1671
01:29:52.520 --> 01:29:58.319
I congratulate producer William Spear, the actors, the musicians, sound

1672
01:29:58.359 --> 01:30:04.520
effects men, technicians, announcers, and the sponsor Roma Wines, whose

1673
01:30:04.600 --> 01:30:08.439
combined efforts have earned for Suspense the well deserved title

1674
01:30:09.119 --> 01:30:13.960
of radio's Outstanding Theater of Thrill. Dead Ernest heard this

1675
01:30:14.079 --> 01:30:17.199
evening is one of the plays upon which the Peabody

1676
01:30:17.239 --> 01:30:18.119
Award was based.

1677
01:30:21.119 --> 01:30:25.000
Wow, after that, even I wish I had a little

1678
01:30:25.000 --> 01:30:28.960
bit to drink. You know, well, no, no, no no,

1679
01:30:29.359 --> 01:30:34.880
that time is long behind me. But let me get

1680

I do so enjoy these evenings together view what's that?

1686
01:31:03.079 --> 01:31:07.079
What's that? Well, of course, of course, but now is

1687
01:31:07.119 --> 01:31:12.920
the time to realize there is no hiding Place.

1688
01:31:29.880 --> 01:31:30.239
Come in.

1689
01:31:33.479 --> 01:31:36.199
Welcome, I am E. G. Marshall.

1690
01:31:36.920 --> 01:31:42.760
Welcome to the world of terrifying imagination. Our story deals

1691
01:31:42.840 --> 01:31:43.399
with fate.

1692
01:31:44.439 --> 01:31:45.399
Some call it luck.

1693
01:31:46.239 --> 01:31:49.760
Whatever it is, it works in the strangest ways to

1694
01:31:49.920 --> 01:31:55.279
reward us or defeat us. Fate walked into Charles Powell's

1695
01:31:55.319 --> 01:31:58.760
life and the person of Clint Livits or look Clint.

1696
01:31:58.560 --> 01:32:00.199
Or whatever your name is. I don't like you, and

1697
01:32:00.279 --> 01:32:02.600
I don't like your insinuations. If you don't get out

1698
01:32:02.600 --> 01:32:04.840
of my office and leave these premises immediately.

1699
01:32:04.439 --> 01:32:05.319
I'll have you put out.

1700
01:32:05.720 --> 01:32:09.600
You must be pulling an an act, mister Charles Powell.

1701
01:32:11.039 --> 01:32:16.359
Maybe this will jose your memory three five, four, one.

1702
01:32:16.560 --> 01:32:18.239
Oh six three.

1703
01:32:19.560 --> 01:32:21.039
What yeah?

1704
01:32:23.239 --> 01:32:27.079
I thought that would do with Shirlie. I thought that

1705
01:32:27.359 --> 01:32:29.079
might help you remember.

1706
01:32:35.479 --> 01:32:39.279
Our mystery drama No Hiding Place was written especially for

1707
01:32:39.399 --> 01:32:44.239
the Mystery Theater by Sidney Sloan and stars Larry Haynes.

1708
01:32:45.319 --> 01:32:48.359
It is sponsored in part by the Kellogg Company, makers

1709
01:32:48.399 --> 01:32:50.239
of Kellogg's Special K serials.

1710
01:32:50.720 --> 01:32:55.359
I'll be back shortly with that one tale as of

1711
01:32:55.439 --> 01:33:02.000
all chase as Kellogg's Special k wait on an overnight prink.

1712
01:33:02.079 --> 01:33:03.000
It is he taken?

1713
01:33:03.159 --> 01:33:04.000
Please sit down.

1714
01:33:05.199 --> 01:33:08.319
You have exceptional legs, But why is one of them

1715
01:33:08.359 --> 01:33:09.720
attached to a ball and chain?

1716
01:33:09.880 --> 01:33:10.880
It's fall and change.

1717
01:33:11.359 --> 01:33:13.920
It's a symbols funny. I would have sworn it was

1718
01:33:13.960 --> 01:33:14.880
a ball and change.

1719
01:33:15.000 --> 01:33:18.239
I mean you you tying around if you extra band?

1720
01:33:18.399 --> 01:33:19.800
Can you just like lugging around it?

1721
01:33:19.920 --> 01:33:20.600
Fall and chain?

1722
01:33:20.920 --> 01:33:21.359
I see?

1723
01:33:21.479 --> 01:33:22.680
May I suggest something?

1724
01:33:23.119 --> 01:33:23.520
You try?

1725
01:33:23.600 --> 01:33:26.560
A bowl of Special Case skim milk, orange juice and coffee.

1726
01:33:26.600 --> 01:33:27.640
It's the special Cap.

1727
01:33:27.479 --> 01:33:29.000
Breakfast making rain.

1728
01:33:29.199 --> 01:33:32.920
No, you must also exercise and eats smarter every year.

1729
01:33:33.640 --> 01:33:35.880
Do you know the special Cake breakfast is less than

1730
01:33:35.920 --> 01:33:38.640
two hundred and forty calories ninety nine percent fact.

1731
01:33:38.479 --> 01:33:39.399
Free and delicious?

1732
01:33:39.840 --> 01:33:41.840
No, but if you hum it, you buy the wine

1733
01:33:42.199 --> 01:33:44.800
and that's another tail of the ball and change.

1734
01:33:45.439 --> 01:33:49.000
You're happy? Ending could begin with the Killogg's Special Care

1735
01:33:49.079 --> 01:33:55.399
Breakfast Gallant Special Case. Well, it's all right to tell

1736
01:33:55.479 --> 01:33:56.359
one lie, isn't it.

1737
01:33:56.800 --> 01:33:59.680
You can't then help out lying just a little bit?

1738
01:34:00.279 --> 01:34:01.199
Now that a little bit?

1739
01:34:01.640 --> 01:34:01.960
You mean?

1740
01:34:02.239 --> 01:34:03.159
You can never lie?

1741
01:34:03.880 --> 01:34:05.159
Never well why not?

1742
01:34:05.880 --> 01:34:07.479
Because when you tell a lie?

1743
01:34:08.239 --> 01:34:10.680
Yeah, I start and said, you're.

1744
01:34:10.600 --> 01:34:14.079
Heart You mean that just one lie will make your

1745
01:34:14.159 --> 01:34:14.720
heart dark?

1746
01:34:15.159 --> 01:34:16.560
Makes your sense too.

1747
01:34:17.439 --> 01:34:20.119
Oh then what should you do if you tell a lie?

1748
01:34:20.600 --> 01:34:22.760
Well, you you said sorry?

1749
01:34:23.359 --> 01:34:27.119
And then what then the like goes instead? You're heart?

1750
01:34:27.760 --> 01:34:28.640
Oh the light goes on?

1751
01:34:29.239 --> 01:34:29.479
Yeah?

1752
01:34:30.199 --> 01:34:32.119
Oh like does it really go on in your heart?

1753
01:34:32.199 --> 01:34:32.439
Does it?

1754
01:34:33.000 --> 01:34:33.800
Yes? It does?

1755
01:34:34.359 --> 01:34:34.920
Well how do you know?

1756
01:34:35.520 --> 01:34:39.640
Because because a lie in your heart, it's shine in

1757
01:34:39.760 --> 01:34:40.319
your eyes.

1758
01:34:41.039 --> 01:34:43.840
Oh, and then you'll be happy.

1759
01:34:44.560 --> 01:34:44.880
Hmm.

1760
01:34:45.840 --> 01:34:47.640
I wonder why people tell lies?

1761
01:34:48.319 --> 01:34:52.640
I will do why too? From the Franciscans with Love.

1762
01:35:04.800 --> 01:35:08.800
Everything looked right to Charles Powell at Chris September morning

1763
01:35:08.880 --> 01:35:12.399
when he walked into his executive office at the JP McCready.

1764
01:35:12.079 --> 01:35:13.960
Company, And why shouldn't it.

1765
01:35:14.760 --> 01:35:18.520
Charlie Powell was a big shot there at thirty seven,

1766
01:35:18.840 --> 01:35:22.520
executive vice president of one of the largest manufacturers of

1767
01:35:22.600 --> 01:35:25.640
heavy construction equipment in the country, and he had done

1768
01:35:25.680 --> 01:35:28.680
it all in less than twelve years. It was a

1769
01:35:28.760 --> 01:35:32.960
real life Horatio algia story, even to his being engaged

1770
01:35:33.000 --> 01:35:35.000
to JP McCready's daughter, Allison.

1771
01:35:35.680 --> 01:35:37.319
How could anything go wrong?

1772
01:35:38.520 --> 01:35:39.000
But it did.

1773
01:35:39.720 --> 01:35:45.359
The moment he walked into his private office. Yes, I see.

1774
01:35:46.920 --> 01:35:50.600
Appointed, No, sir, but he said that you'll see him, Paul.

1775
01:35:51.199 --> 01:35:52.000
Maybe i'd better.

1776
01:35:51.880 --> 01:35:52.720
Come in and explain.

1777
01:35:53.479 --> 01:35:54.119
Yes, a recular.

1778
01:35:57.239 --> 01:36:00.760
Sorry my sounds strange, but really, mister, Oh, that man

1779
01:36:00.880 --> 01:36:02.039
is kind of frightening.

1780
01:36:02.359 --> 01:36:03.479
Frightening will He.

1781
01:36:03.560 --> 01:36:05.640
Just sits there and grins at me. I told him

1782
01:36:05.640 --> 01:36:08.319
he didn't see people without an appointment. He said, oh,

1783
01:36:08.479 --> 01:36:11.199
you'll see me. Just tell him it's an old friend, Clint.

1784
01:36:12.039 --> 01:36:14.600
Do you know anybody by that name Clinton?

1785
01:36:14.720 --> 01:36:18.880
Clint, No, it doesn't ring a bell. All right, send

1786
01:36:18.960 --> 01:36:19.880
me in. I'll get rid of him.

1787
01:36:20.039 --> 01:36:24.960
Okay, don't say I didn't warn you. Mister Powell will

1788
01:36:25.039 --> 01:36:25.359
see you.

1789
01:36:28.000 --> 01:36:31.199
Nights of you to see me. Mister Powell, Well, I

1790
01:36:31.319 --> 01:36:34.039
try to see everybody, mister just Clint.

1791
01:36:34.880 --> 01:36:37.640
I don't think you ever knew me by anything, but Clint,

1792
01:36:39.000 --> 01:36:41.319
you must remember, mister Powell.

1793
01:36:41.439 --> 01:36:44.199
Well, I'm sorry, but I come on. Give it a try,

1794
01:36:44.600 --> 01:36:46.560
Give it a good try. Now look here, I'm busy,

1795
01:36:46.600 --> 01:36:48.319
and I have neither the time nor the face.

1796
01:36:48.560 --> 01:36:49.159
You must be.

1797
01:36:49.279 --> 01:36:55.039
Putting on an act, mister Charles Powell. Maybe this will

1798
01:36:55.159 --> 01:37:01.239
jolt your memory. Three five four one O sixty three.

1799
01:37:02.760 --> 01:37:10.319
What yeah, I thought that would do with Charlie. I

1800
01:37:10.560 --> 01:37:22.680
thought that might help you remember Charles. Oh, I'm sorry,

1801
01:37:22.760 --> 01:37:25.479
mister mccreedy. I guess it was daydreaming. Something bothering you,

1802
01:37:25.600 --> 01:37:28.800
young man. No, no, I hope not yet.

1803
01:37:28.880 --> 01:37:31.119
I take you to the best French restaurant in town.

1804
01:37:31.680 --> 01:37:34.600
You pick at your food, gaze in the space, send

1805
01:37:34.640 --> 01:37:35.319
your dinner away.

1806
01:37:35.359 --> 01:37:39.520
I'd thoughtful. Did I send all that good food back

1807
01:37:39.560 --> 01:37:40.840
without eating it? You did?

1808
01:37:41.920 --> 01:37:47.439
I particularly wanted to see you alone, Charles, because I

1809
01:37:47.520 --> 01:37:51.800
have a little news for you. News what what kind

1810
01:37:51.840 --> 01:37:55.399
of news, mister mcreedy. And that's another thing. You're so

1811
01:37:55.600 --> 01:38:00.199
damned formal with me. Mister McGready, do you realize in

1812
01:38:00.319 --> 01:38:02.119
exactly five weeks you're.

1813
01:38:02.000 --> 01:38:04.119
Going to be one of the family. Yes, of course

1814
01:38:04.199 --> 01:38:06.760
I realized. How could I overlook it when Allison keeps

1815
01:38:06.840 --> 01:38:08.800
reminding me regularly? Very well?

1816
01:38:08.920 --> 01:38:12.119
Then do you think you're proper to call your father

1817
01:38:12.279 --> 01:38:15.920
in law to be mister McGready, If you don't start

1818
01:38:16.039 --> 01:38:20.920
calling me John, okay, John little bee, I'm going to

1819
01:38:21.119 --> 01:38:24.760
leak a little information to you. Yes, as you know,

1820
01:38:24.920 --> 01:38:28.079
I've been thinking of stepping down from the presidency of

1821
01:38:28.159 --> 01:38:28.560
the company.

1822
01:38:28.720 --> 01:38:31.000
Yes, well, it has been rumored, but I wish you'd

1823
01:38:31.279 --> 01:38:33.960
reconsider it. Well, sincerely, the place wouldn't be the same

1824
01:38:34.000 --> 01:38:37.319
without you. I'll still be there, Charlie, I'm not giving

1825
01:38:37.439 --> 01:38:39.960
up my stock. The name of the company will still

1826
01:38:40.000 --> 01:38:43.640
be JP mcgreeedy Company. The only difference will be that

1827
01:38:45.199 --> 01:38:51.600
you will be sitting at my desk, city at your desk. Well,

1828
01:38:51.840 --> 01:38:54.079
I thought Hatches were slated to take over when you

1829
01:38:54.159 --> 01:38:59.520
stepped out. No, No, Tom was seriously considered, but he's

1830
01:38:59.520 --> 01:39:02.920
a bit too for the job. Now the company needs

1831
01:39:03.039 --> 01:39:03.600
young blood.

1832
01:39:03.920 --> 01:39:09.039
Well, I'm really bold over, I've watched you grow, come

1833
01:39:09.119 --> 01:39:13.000
up on merit ability. You're going to go far, my boy.

1834
01:39:14.000 --> 01:39:17.560
Of course, the board will have to vote on your appointment,

1835
01:39:17.760 --> 01:39:21.439
but that is I'm saying, goes is in the bag.

1836
01:39:21.880 --> 01:39:26.039
Well, there's something you've omitted. John. You haven't asked me

1837
01:39:26.079 --> 01:39:27.079
if I wanted the job.

1838
01:39:27.760 --> 01:39:31.000
Is it necessary to ask? I remember another lunch with

1839
01:39:31.079 --> 01:39:35.239
you several years ago. We got talking about ambitions and

1840
01:39:35.359 --> 01:39:38.239
you said that you would never be satisfied with second best.

1841
01:39:38.880 --> 01:39:41.840
It had to be the top job or you'd move on.

1842
01:39:42.920 --> 01:39:49.039
Yes, but that was before this morning. What h nothing,

1843
01:39:49.359 --> 01:39:52.439
just mumbling. I'd like to know how you feel about it.

1844
01:39:52.560 --> 01:39:55.359
Jobs, Well, heavens to be considered for the position as

1845
01:39:55.359 --> 01:40:00.760
anonymous John and your answer, let me think it over.

1846
01:40:02.159 --> 01:40:04.199
I must think it over.

1847
01:40:13.800 --> 01:40:18.119
Trying to collect your life insurance, Charles? What to where

1848
01:40:18.159 --> 01:40:21.439
you're driving? You have to get me yourself and both

1849
01:40:21.479 --> 01:40:21.640
of you.

1850
01:40:21.800 --> 01:40:24.199
Oh, I'm sorry, dear. I guess I didn't realize how

1851
01:40:24.279 --> 01:40:26.239
fast I was going. This car has more power than

1852
01:40:26.279 --> 01:40:28.399
it needs, more than I need. I'm sorry.

1853
01:40:30.000 --> 01:40:32.199
At least it gave us a topic for conversation.

1854
01:40:33.359 --> 01:40:35.520
Hey, what did you're driving?

1855
01:40:36.760 --> 01:40:40.560
Darling? I'm the cure you asked to marry you. Something

1856
01:40:40.680 --> 01:40:42.119
is troubling, something.

1857
01:40:41.960 --> 01:40:46.359
Big, Alison. Did your father tell you what he's planning?

1858
01:40:46.640 --> 01:40:48.680
Dad never tells me anything. I have an idea. He

1859
01:40:48.720 --> 01:40:49.720
thinks of me as a bird brain.

1860
01:40:49.880 --> 01:40:52.520
He wants me to take over the presidency of the company.

1861
01:40:52.840 --> 01:40:55.720
That's marvelous. Couldn't have made a better chance.

1862
01:40:55.800 --> 01:40:58.439
What you're prejudiced, But it's a nice kind of prejudice.

1863
01:40:59.000 --> 01:40:59.119
Uh.

1864
01:41:00.800 --> 01:41:02.039
I don't think i'll accept.

1865
01:41:02.479 --> 01:41:07.399
What But Darling, it's right for you. You've worked with

1866
01:41:07.640 --> 01:41:09.920
that go You're the right man for the job, am I?

1867
01:41:10.920 --> 01:41:12.640
What is this lack of confidence?

1868
01:41:12.720 --> 01:41:13.279
Buck Fever?

1869
01:41:13.800 --> 01:41:14.760
You're being ridiculous.

1870
01:41:14.880 --> 01:41:19.239
Don No I'm being practical and sensible. My being president

1871
01:41:19.279 --> 01:41:21.560
of the McCready company would bring nothing but trouble.

1872
01:41:21.960 --> 01:41:22.520
What are you saying?

1873
01:41:22.600 --> 01:41:26.640
I'm even considering resigning my present job? Why, Alison?

1874
01:41:26.880 --> 01:41:29.520
Tell me, whatever it is, I'll never stop loving you.

1875
01:41:31.720 --> 01:41:36.119
I'll tell you when I get up enough courage. Please, Darting,

1876
01:41:36.199 --> 01:41:38.920
be patient with me, Just be patient.

1877
01:41:40.319 --> 01:41:50.960
I love you too. So you finally got here. I

1878
01:41:51.039 --> 01:41:52.840
thought you were going to forget her a point high.

1879
01:41:52.880 --> 01:41:56.279
You didn't really think that, Clint. I know you'd come.

1880
01:41:57.319 --> 01:42:03.159
You wouldn't dare not to come. So you got it

1881
01:42:03.239 --> 01:42:06.039
with you? Yes, I've got it in small boats five

1882
01:42:06.119 --> 01:42:12.079
s tens that specified. Let's have it. Oh it's a

1883
01:42:12.199 --> 01:42:16.239
pretty minal envelope, too nice and knee nice. Now, look,

1884
01:42:16.279 --> 01:42:18.000
I don't know how much longer I can do this.

1885
01:42:18.239 --> 01:42:20.479
You'll do it as long as I say, And if

1886
01:42:20.520 --> 01:42:22.920
I run out of money, you just have to scrounge

1887
01:42:22.960 --> 01:42:24.000
around and flying more.

1888
01:42:24.119 --> 01:42:26.279
I'm thinking of quitting my job. You wouldn't want to

1889
01:42:26.399 --> 01:42:30.319
do that, Charlie. Well suppose suppose it gets too much

1890
01:42:30.359 --> 01:42:31.439
for me and I say, go ahead?

1891
01:42:31.479 --> 01:42:34.720
Spell what you know you wouldn't do that. You're gonna

1892
01:42:34.720 --> 01:42:36.039
marry a very rich girl.

1893
01:42:36.640 --> 01:42:39.359
A couple of extra yards ain't gonna change your manner

1894
01:42:39.399 --> 01:42:45.359
of living. Even a couple extra grand How long you're

1895
01:42:45.399 --> 01:42:48.640
gonna suck my blood. I don't like the way you

1896
01:42:48.880 --> 01:42:52.920
put that, Charlie. I'd rather you'd think of it like

1897
01:42:53.039 --> 01:42:53.960
it was sort.

1898
01:42:53.720 --> 01:42:59.079
Of sharing the wealth. You got the bread. I got nothing.

1899
01:43:00.119 --> 01:43:02.960
This way, we both got something. I got a nice

1900
01:43:03.039 --> 01:43:06.960
living and you you've got your freedom.

1901
01:43:18.640 --> 01:43:22.920
Hello Charles, Oh oh yes, mister, Yes, John.

1902
01:43:23.119 --> 01:43:24.520
Sorry to bother you at this hour.

1903
01:43:24.880 --> 01:43:26.840
He wanted to sleep. Were you at ten fifteen?

1904
01:43:26.920 --> 01:43:26.960
No?

1905
01:43:28.760 --> 01:43:32.560
The reason I'm calling yes is something bothering you?

1906
01:43:32.720 --> 01:43:35.960
My boy? Well, I uh, I've had some things on

1907
01:43:36.000 --> 01:43:37.880
my mind lately. I'm sorry. It was so noticeable.

1908
01:43:38.119 --> 01:43:39.239
What occurred to me that a.

1909
01:43:39.279 --> 01:43:41.560
Young man gets a bit absent minded there is a

1910
01:43:41.640 --> 01:43:43.399
day of his wedding approaches.

1911
01:43:43.239 --> 01:43:44.119
Perhaps a bit fright.

1912
01:43:44.279 --> 01:43:47.800
No, no, no, it isn't that JP. Oh excuse me, John,

1913
01:43:47.840 --> 01:43:50.079
someone's at my door. Hold on just a moment.

1914
01:43:52.399 --> 01:43:53.600
To give me for coming years.

1915
01:43:53.880 --> 01:43:55.560
I've got your father around the phone. Come in darning.

1916
01:43:59.279 --> 01:44:02.039
Hello John. It was just a porter with a package.

1917
01:44:02.039 --> 01:44:02.600
What were you say?

1918
01:44:03.119 --> 01:44:08.039
Oh? Nothing, really, I'm just concerned what I was troubling

1919
01:44:08.079 --> 01:44:11.199
you could be taken care of. I'm backing you all

1920
01:44:11.319 --> 01:44:11.640
the way.

1921
01:44:12.039 --> 01:44:12.199
Well.

1922
01:44:12.239 --> 01:44:15.039
I appreciate your feelings, JP, but there really is no

1923
01:44:15.159 --> 01:44:15.960
cause for concern.

1924
01:44:16.039 --> 01:44:17.520
I'll snap out of this in a day or so.

1925
01:44:17.840 --> 01:44:18.079
Good.

1926
01:44:18.600 --> 01:44:21.520
It's reassuring you say that I forgive me.

1927
01:44:21.600 --> 01:44:24.600
For disturbing you. Know I wasn't disturbed. Thanks for calling.

1928
01:44:24.880 --> 01:44:26.039
Good night, good night, JP.

1929
01:44:27.760 --> 01:44:31.720
Even Dad notices that something is wrong. I haven't seen

1930
01:44:31.800 --> 01:44:34.760
you in three days. You trying to tell me something.

1931
01:44:36.039 --> 01:44:38.560
All I hear. All I want to tell you is

1932
01:44:38.600 --> 01:44:41.159
that I love you very much.

1933
01:44:41.319 --> 01:44:44.960
From a distance. I called you what your office twice this.

1934
01:44:45.039 --> 01:44:50.319
Afternoon, Alison, Alison, I can't keep this from you.

1935
01:44:50.520 --> 01:44:52.720
I thought I could, but every day, every hour, it

1936
01:44:52.840 --> 01:44:55.359
grows bigger, until now it feels as though it's going

1937
01:44:55.439 --> 01:44:57.680
to win gulf me and you are.

1938
01:44:57.600 --> 01:44:59.640
Life everything that has meaning for me.

1939
01:45:00.239 --> 01:45:02.720
No, no, no, hear me out, and then if you

1940
01:45:02.760 --> 01:45:06.359
want to go out that door quietly, I won't say

1941
01:45:06.399 --> 01:45:08.760
anything more, and you can forget that you've ever known me.

1942
01:45:09.239 --> 01:45:12.279
He loved you? Are you trying to say you don't

1943
01:45:12.319 --> 01:45:14.359
want to marry me? Did you stop loving me?

1944
01:45:14.520 --> 01:45:17.119
Darling? It's because I love you that I'm going to

1945
01:45:17.159 --> 01:45:17.399
tell you.

1946
01:45:18.439 --> 01:45:20.760
I considered keeping the whole matter from you, writing out

1947
01:45:20.800 --> 01:45:22.520
the trouble and probably overcoming it.

1948
01:45:22.680 --> 01:45:24.680
Darling, how little you know me? No matter what the

1949
01:45:24.800 --> 01:45:27.079
trouble is. I want to be with you if you

1950
01:45:27.159 --> 01:45:27.479
want me.

1951
01:45:32.079 --> 01:45:38.600
Alison, I'm a fraud. I'm not Charles Powell. It's a

1952
01:45:38.720 --> 01:45:42.079
name I assumed to hide my real identity.

1953
01:45:44.960 --> 01:45:47.760
Want me to go on, yes, Darling, go on.

1954
01:45:50.680 --> 01:45:54.159
At the age of twenty two, I was charged and

1955
01:45:54.319 --> 01:45:58.199
convicted of murder and to san Quentin for life. I

1956
01:45:58.359 --> 01:46:02.079
was innocent, evidence circumstantial, and court appointed attorney who didn't

1957
01:46:02.079 --> 01:46:03.239
know what to do it didn't care.

1958
01:46:04.479 --> 01:46:07.079
A weak effort to appeal, which was refused, and.

1959
01:46:08.560 --> 01:46:12.279
There I was, at twenty two, in prison for life,

1960
01:46:13.319 --> 01:46:15.760
chance of for parole only after serving twenty years.

1961
01:46:15.800 --> 01:46:16.359
I'd be old.

1962
01:46:16.439 --> 01:46:22.680
All my young life confined in prison. So when I

1963
01:46:22.720 --> 01:46:25.880
had a chance to get out and ran for two years,

1964
01:46:26.920 --> 01:46:27.239
do you know.

1965
01:46:27.279 --> 01:46:28.359
What it means to be hunted?

1966
01:46:28.439 --> 01:46:30.239
You can't get a job, you have no place to live,

1967
01:46:30.279 --> 01:46:32.039
you can't have a sleep for fear someone will see

1968
01:46:32.039 --> 01:46:32.760
you and turn you will.

1969
01:46:33.520 --> 01:46:35.000
I was ready to give myself up.

1970
01:46:37.199 --> 01:46:41.119
When I suddenly discovered that it wasn't necessary to run

1971
01:46:41.319 --> 01:46:44.640
any longer. I picked up a two week on newspaper

1972
01:46:44.720 --> 01:46:47.199
and read a report of my death. Yes, a man,

1973
01:46:47.880 --> 01:46:49.920
a man had been burned to death in a flop

1974
01:46:49.960 --> 01:46:52.840
house fire. The only thing he had on him was

1975
01:46:52.880 --> 01:46:56.239
something that I had kept my only possession, a locket

1976
01:46:56.720 --> 01:46:59.600
belonging to my mother, and I had a picture of

1977
01:46:59.680 --> 01:47:04.399
Earth taken when she married my father, and it had

1978
01:47:04.439 --> 01:47:06.239
been stolen from me. As I lay asleep in a

1979
01:47:06.279 --> 01:47:08.039
freight car, I guess that hee thought it was gold.

1980
01:47:08.119 --> 01:47:10.000
It was just cheap gold plate.

1981
01:47:10.199 --> 01:47:11.720
And the man was identified as you.

1982
01:47:12.239 --> 01:47:16.000
My mother and father's names were inscribed on the back.

1983
01:47:17.399 --> 01:47:19.359
The man was so badly burned that the locket was

1984
01:47:19.399 --> 01:47:22.199
the only thing that could possibly identify him, and after

1985
01:47:22.239 --> 01:47:26.119
two years of hunting, the authorities were glad to close

1986
01:47:26.199 --> 01:47:26.560
the file.

1987
01:47:27.960 --> 01:47:30.760
I'm Robert Haven.

1988
01:47:31.960 --> 01:47:38.239
Robert Hagen sounds so strange. The name doesn't fit you.

1989
01:47:38.560 --> 01:47:42.960
It sounds strange to me too, now, Donny, I'm innocent.

1990
01:47:43.720 --> 01:47:45.119
I never did it. It was all a mistake.

1991
01:47:45.159 --> 01:47:47.680
I don't doubt that for an instant. Dearis I only

1992
01:47:47.760 --> 01:47:48.880
wish I'd never told me.

1993
01:47:49.399 --> 01:47:55.680
I had to tell you is see, someone knows who

1994
01:47:55.800 --> 01:48:01.000
I am. He's black wailing.

1995
01:48:09.159 --> 01:48:15.439
When you're being blackmailed. You don't have many alternatives. Charles

1996

Powell's whole life is future, the happiness of the woman

1997
01:48:20.359 --> 01:48:25.399
he loves, all hanged by a very thin, slimsy thread.

1998

He didn't envision the trouble that was building up for him.

Just keep paying and I'll keep my mouth.

2037

Shut, his blackmailer assured him.

01:51:30.680 --> 01:51:34.319
Oh what does Last night in a bar over on

2052
01:51:34.399 --> 01:51:37.199
the West Side, a man was bashed over the head

2053
01:51:37.239 --> 01:51:41.479
with a bottle. He's in serious condition. Well, what has

2054
01:51:41.520 --> 01:51:43.720
that got to do with me? Well, the man who

2055
01:51:43.800 --> 01:51:45.760
did the bashing, the next.

2056
01:51:45.640 --> 01:51:49.479
Con by the name of Clinton Levitz, is he's asking

2057
01:51:49.560 --> 01:51:54.680
for you, says you'll go as bail. What I want

2058
01:51:54.760 --> 01:51:57.319
to know is, how does a guy like you get

2059
01:51:57.399 --> 01:51:58.600
mixed up with a joe like that.

2060
01:52:00.239 --> 01:52:01.840
George, what did you think that he and I were

2061
01:52:01.880 --> 01:52:04.680
buddies or something? I didn't know what the thing?

2062
01:52:04.760 --> 01:52:08.319
Well, I do know the man. He applied for a

2063
01:52:08.399 --> 01:52:10.000
job with the company a week or so ago. The

2064
01:52:10.079 --> 01:52:12.479
foreman who interviewed him discovered he was an ex con

2065
01:52:12.600 --> 01:52:16.039
and he refused to hire him. It was brought to

2066
01:52:16.159 --> 01:52:19.079
my attention when one of the societies that helps x

2067
01:52:19.199 --> 01:52:21.279
cons called me, so.

2068
01:52:21.439 --> 01:52:22.720
You got him a job in the plant.

2069
01:52:22.800 --> 01:52:24.880
No, no, no, no, I couldn't. I mean, I wouldn't

2070
01:52:24.880 --> 01:52:26.680
go over the head of the foreman. But I did

2071
01:52:26.840 --> 01:52:29.720
see him, and I, you know, handed him a couple

2072
01:52:29.800 --> 01:52:30.199
of dollars.

2073
01:52:30.199 --> 01:52:31.039
A couple of dollars.

2074
01:52:32.000 --> 01:52:33.359
You know how much money he had on him, and

2075
01:52:33.439 --> 01:52:36.520
we brought him in two hundred and seventy six dollars.

2076
01:52:36.760 --> 01:52:39.760
Oh well, maybe he got lucky at the races with

2077
01:52:39.840 --> 01:52:42.520
the money I gave him. How much was oh gee,

2078
01:52:42.560 --> 01:52:45.039
I don't remember, fifteen twenty. I just took it out

2079
01:52:45.079 --> 01:52:46.880
of my pocket and handed it to him. It was a,

2080
01:52:47.439 --> 01:52:49.399
you know, a way of easing my conscience. I felt

2081
01:52:49.439 --> 01:52:51.239
bad about the way our foreman had treated him.

2082
01:52:51.399 --> 01:52:55.039
Well, take my word for it. This Clint Live. It

2083
01:52:55.199 --> 01:53:01.680
is a bad customer, stay away from him. What will

2084
01:53:01.840 --> 01:53:04.119
become of them? Where you'll go back to the pen

2085
01:53:04.159 --> 01:53:04.960
wary belongs?

2086
01:53:05.119 --> 01:53:10.079
And what's the bail set at five thousand? And you're

2087
01:53:10.119 --> 01:53:12.239
not seriously considering putting it up?

2088
01:53:12.279 --> 01:53:12.520
Are you?

2089
01:53:12.720 --> 01:53:14.800
It's just asking because if you are, that's the last

2090
01:53:14.840 --> 01:53:17.479
you'll see of your money for that matter, mister Libert

2091
01:53:17.520 --> 01:53:18.279
see jump.

2092
01:53:18.119 --> 01:53:20.920
Bailies, George, I'm a big boy now and I think

2093
01:53:20.960 --> 01:53:25.000
I can make my own decisions. Well, who would have thought,

2094
01:53:25.920 --> 01:53:30.039
Charles Powell bleeding hearts? How Look, we've been friends for

2095
01:53:30.079 --> 01:53:32.840
over five years. When you were running for DA I

2096
01:53:32.960 --> 01:53:36.199
backed you with substantial contributions. I like you, you're my friend.

2097
01:53:36.960 --> 01:53:40.840
Let's not kick that all out because of some stupid disagreement. Now,

2098
01:53:42.079 --> 01:53:43.119
let's not kick it out.

2099
01:53:44.520 --> 01:53:48.960
I'm sorry, Charlie, but I just can't understand what your

2100
01:53:49.000 --> 01:53:50.640
connection with that ex con is.

2101
01:53:58.960 --> 01:53:59.479
Mister bow.

2102
01:54:00.119 --> 01:54:02.960
I hope you'll understand. I accept Kenton Livid's gates with

2103
01:54:03.039 --> 01:54:06.960
strong reservation. Yes, I understand, great earn. Yeah, well, how

2104
01:54:07.000 --> 01:54:11.560
shall I put you? You don't like your client exactly, However,

2105
01:54:11.640 --> 01:54:13.560
I shall do my best to get him off, or

2106
01:54:13.600 --> 01:54:17.159
at least getting a light sentence. I'm extremely pessimistic about

2107
01:54:17.199 --> 01:54:19.359
mister Livert's even showing up for trial. Yes.

2108
01:54:20.439 --> 01:54:23.399
George Hammill also said he expected that Lippitts will jump his.

2109
01:54:23.399 --> 01:54:25.880
Play and you would forfeit five thousand dollars.

2110
01:54:25.920 --> 01:54:29.960
Yes, I know that doesn't disturb you. No, No, I

2111
01:54:30.000 --> 01:54:30.880
don't believe he'll run.

2112
01:54:31.520 --> 01:54:35.720
I see you want to speak with him. He's been released.

2113
01:54:35.760 --> 01:54:38.960
He's waiting in the other roof. Not particularly, he says

2114
01:54:39.000 --> 01:54:43.239
he wants to see you. Oh well in that case, yes,

2115
01:54:43.560 --> 01:54:46.079
I'll see him. Send mister Liverts in.

2116
01:54:47.319 --> 01:54:49.399
I'll leave you alone. He didn't need me.

2117
01:54:49.479 --> 01:54:53.319
I'll be in the other office. Now, come in, mister Livertz.

2118
01:54:53.680 --> 01:54:56.359
Mister Powell will speak to you nice. I'll be back

2119
01:54:56.399 --> 01:54:58.960
when you call. Just flip the switch on the intercom, Yes,

2120
01:54:59.039 --> 01:54:59.319
I will.

2121
01:55:02.800 --> 01:55:06.039
You sure know how to complicate things, Clinton, storry of

2122
01:55:06.159 --> 01:55:08.479
my life. Do you realize you could go up for

2123
01:55:08.760 --> 01:55:10.520
one to five years for what you've done?

2124
01:55:10.800 --> 01:55:13.600
No, couldn't happen. What do you mean that couldn't happen

2125
01:55:13.880 --> 01:55:15.960
because you wouldn't let it happen, Shirley.

2126
01:55:16.039 --> 01:55:18.319
Look, even with the best lawyer defending you, he can't

2127
01:55:18.359 --> 01:55:20.640
guarantee he'll win the k oh won't let me go

2128
01:55:20.800 --> 01:55:21.199
to prison.

2129
01:55:21.680 --> 01:55:26.319
I'm doing my best for you, but no, but I'm

2130
01:55:26.399 --> 01:55:29.920
not going back to the band. Okay, okay, you're not

2131
01:55:30.000 --> 01:55:30.479
going back.

2132
01:55:31.439 --> 01:55:35.079
I suppose just suppose during the trial, if things look bad, yeah,

2133
01:55:35.359 --> 01:55:38.039
we get you out of town and let you run

2134
01:55:38.079 --> 01:55:39.039
for it, forfeit your bail.

2135
01:55:40.680 --> 01:55:43.520
Oh you'd like that, wouldn't you. I'd be out of

2136
01:55:43.600 --> 01:55:45.600
your hair, and all it would cost you would be

2137
01:55:45.760 --> 01:55:48.000
the five g's with the baby. No, no, no, no no,

2138
01:55:48.560 --> 01:55:53.000
I give you a substantial soul, mister Powell. Oh, sale

2139
01:55:54.279 --> 01:55:57.159
to all the run. Well, suppose I got you out

2140
01:55:57.199 --> 01:56:00.319
of the country with a good nager Brudgstad the way

2141
01:56:00.399 --> 01:56:05.159
for me Swiss bank account. I don't know. Why don't

2142
01:56:05.199 --> 01:56:21.640
we play it by year? Come in? You wanted to

2143
01:56:21.680 --> 01:56:21.960
see me?

2144
01:56:22.119 --> 01:56:22.319
JP?

2145
01:56:24.000 --> 01:56:25.600
Yes, can you spare a minute?

2146
01:56:25.720 --> 01:56:25.880
Yeah?

2147
01:56:25.960 --> 01:56:29.079
Sure, I've heard it on the grapevine that you were

2148
01:56:30.039 --> 01:56:32.399
how shall I put it, that you were aiding some

2149
01:56:32.640 --> 01:56:34.920
ex convict in trouble with the police.

2150
01:56:35.520 --> 01:56:40.520
That's true, Yes, it's true, John, And I think I

2151
01:56:40.680 --> 01:56:43.359
know what kind of grapes grow on that grapevine.

2152
01:56:43.840 --> 01:56:48.039
All right, George Hammer that time phusy party, Why can't

2153
01:56:48.079 --> 01:56:50.479
he stick to his job, and George is a friend.

2154
01:56:51.840 --> 01:56:55.319
He tells me that the man you're protecting is a

2155
01:56:55.439 --> 01:57:02.359
rather reprehensible cap Will you then let me explain it's.

2156
01:57:00.479 --> 01:57:04.159
Just a matter of policy my helping this man. Paula said, well, yes,

2157
01:57:04.239 --> 01:57:04.560
you were.

2158
01:57:05.199 --> 01:57:07.000
You did ask me a few days ago to consider

2159
01:57:07.079 --> 01:57:08.840
taking over the job of running this company.

2160
01:57:09.039 --> 01:57:11.479
You're going to accept? Well, I was going to tell

2161
01:57:11.479 --> 01:57:16.520
you today wonderful, wonderful news. Alison will be delighted. I

2162
01:57:16.640 --> 01:57:19.319
know she's been worried about your seeming relucked. Oh no, no,

2163
01:57:19.560 --> 01:57:22.640
not reluctant any longer. In fact, I've got all sorts

2164
01:57:22.680 --> 01:57:25.000
of ideas about what I want to do. This business

2165
01:57:25.039 --> 01:57:27.159
of giving a hand to ex conference is just one

2166
01:57:27.239 --> 01:57:29.760
of them. Do you realize what this would mean in publicity?

2167
01:57:29.840 --> 01:57:31.920
For the company to take an interest.

2168
01:57:31.680 --> 01:57:34.600
In the rehabilitation of men would otherwise be lost to

2169
01:57:34.640 --> 01:57:35.800
burden to the taxpayer.

2170
01:57:36.119 --> 01:57:37.960
I'm going to hire a pr man. We're going to

2171
01:57:38.039 --> 01:57:47.640
be the big corporation with a heart JP Lies, lies,

2172
01:57:47.760 --> 01:57:50.920
lies and more lies. How can I keep all these

2173
01:57:51.000 --> 01:57:52.079
tony stories straight?

2174
01:57:52.159 --> 01:57:54.680
Alison? It's like a long, dark tunnel with no envy.

2175
01:57:54.800 --> 01:57:56.920
It will and it will all turn out all right,

2176
01:57:57.079 --> 01:57:59.159
don't lose your courage. No, I love you and need

2177
01:57:59.279 --> 01:58:00.960
to worried it out together.

2178
01:58:01.159 --> 01:58:01.960
You know you know what.

2179
01:58:02.039 --> 01:58:05.039
I've considered it, going to the authorities and saying, look,

2180
01:58:05.119 --> 01:58:08.520
I'm Robert Haigen, the man you say died thirteen years ago.

2181
01:58:08.600 --> 01:58:10.880
No, darling, they'd throw you back into prison, while.

2182
01:58:10.720 --> 01:58:12.000
I'd prior the best lawyer.

2183
01:58:12.119 --> 01:58:14.960
No, please, don't take such a chance. What would I

2184
01:58:15.000 --> 01:58:17.800
do without you, Johnny.

2185
01:58:19.960 --> 01:58:22.199
Journey. I don't know how much longer I can stand

2186
01:58:22.199 --> 01:58:24.640
in this pressure. I've got to do something, something to

2187
01:58:24.760 --> 01:58:25.439
free myself.

2188
01:58:25.520 --> 01:58:27.079
Why not give him a lot of money and ask

2189
01:58:27.159 --> 01:58:29.159
him to go away, promise to stay away forever.

2190
01:58:29.359 --> 01:58:32.000
In hart Grave's office, I suggested that he jump down

2191
01:58:32.079 --> 01:58:34.279
and get out of the country. What did he say, Well,

2192
01:58:34.319 --> 01:58:37.039
when I mentioned a big sum, I didn't exactly say

2193
01:58:37.119 --> 01:58:38.960
how much, you know, a Swiss bank account?

2194
01:58:39.399 --> 01:58:42.880
He was interested? Did he say, well, we were interrupted

2195
01:58:42.920 --> 01:58:44.279
and he didn't say definitely.

2196
01:58:44.479 --> 01:58:46.199
Offer him anything to get him to go.

2197
01:58:46.560 --> 01:58:48.880
How would I get a large sum of money together?

2198
01:58:49.000 --> 01:58:51.600
I have some small investments of fair bank account, but

2199
01:58:53.279 --> 01:58:54.880
what he might want would be beyond me.

2200
01:58:55.359 --> 01:58:57.359
You forget you're marrying a very rich girl.

2201
01:58:57.520 --> 01:58:58.880
No, No, I wouldn't think of that.

2202
01:58:59.279 --> 01:59:02.079
Don't give me that male eco business. I've got money.

2203
01:59:03.119 --> 01:59:04.800
It was nice enough to give me a big hunt

2204
01:59:04.800 --> 01:59:05.039
when I.

2205
01:59:05.119 --> 01:59:08.399
Was twenty one, Cluck Allison, with all my earthly goods.

2206
01:59:09.640 --> 01:59:10.520
We're not married yet.

2207
01:59:10.840 --> 01:59:12.800
You're not going to back up now, not have to.

2208
01:59:12.880 --> 01:59:15.399
I've and down you with all my earthly or is

2209
01:59:15.479 --> 01:59:16.359
it worldly goods?

2210
01:59:18.640 --> 01:59:18.800
You know?

2211
01:59:18.920 --> 01:59:21.800
You other nuttiest woman I've ever known.

2212
01:59:21.880 --> 01:59:25.800
I see I've got to laughing, Darling. Oh, our troubles

2213
01:59:25.840 --> 01:59:26.920
are going to evaporate.

2214
01:59:27.159 --> 01:59:32.720
Spanish. No, it won't work out us. It'll never work

2215
01:59:32.840 --> 01:59:33.520
But you said no.

2216
01:59:35.039 --> 01:59:38.279
Clinton Lippts will never stick to any bargain. You'll want more,

2217
01:59:38.319 --> 01:59:40.279
and he'll want more. He'll never be satisfied.

2218
01:59:40.359 --> 01:59:41.399
We got him out of the country.

2219
01:59:41.479 --> 01:59:43.520
What's to keep him from coming back when he's broke,

2220
01:59:43.640 --> 01:59:47.439
or even threatening us from abroad. I gave him a

2221
01:59:47.479 --> 01:59:50.439
thousand dollars in cash only a few days ago. When

2222
01:59:50.479 --> 01:59:51.880
he was picked up in the bar, he had only

2223
01:59:51.880 --> 01:59:54.439
about two hundred and seventy some dollars left. In a

2224
01:59:54.479 --> 01:59:57.479
matter of two days, it squandered over seven hundred.

2225
01:59:57.640 --> 01:59:59.680
But if you were made to understand that the summer

2226
01:59:59.720 --> 02:00:01.000
greet was all he was going to do.

2227
02:00:01.399 --> 02:00:05.039
I make you understand we're not dealing with a rational,

2228
02:00:05.239 --> 02:00:10.399
honest man. He'll agree to anything, and then he'll when

2229
02:00:10.479 --> 02:00:13.319
his money runs out or he decides he wants more,

2230
02:00:13.399 --> 02:00:15.079
he'll he'll be right back.

2231
02:00:16.159 --> 02:00:23.039
What can you do? There are only two things one

2232
02:00:23.119 --> 02:00:26.640
can do about a black man. Keep on pain and

2233
02:00:26.800 --> 02:00:33.960
paying forever and the other and the other kill him.

2234
02:00:40.000 --> 02:00:44.359
Just two ways to deal with a blackmailer. Charles now

2235
02:00:44.479 --> 02:00:48.680
must face his conscience. The thought that has been in

2236
02:00:48.720 --> 02:00:52.359
the hidden recesses of his mind has been spoken aloud.

2237
02:00:53.560 --> 02:01:03.720
We will be back shortly with Act three. When you say, Buddha,

2238
02:01:04.680 --> 02:01:08.079
you said a lot of things nobody else can see here.

2239
02:01:09.680 --> 02:01:13.840
When you see, buddy, you've got it hard. You can

2240
02:01:13.920 --> 02:01:19.840
go and get the very well I think about it.

2241
02:01:20.479 --> 02:01:24.439
Decide yourself for sure the budweins of people really do

2242
02:01:24.520 --> 02:01:26.760
when he willn't be a right doesn't make a difference.

2243
02:01:27.479 --> 02:01:36.600
But being that up to you becall the game allround.

2244
02:01:38.159 --> 02:01:39.399
When you said.

2245
02:01:42.279 --> 02:01:47.800
You study, and I said, well, yeah, St. Louis, who

2246
02:01:47.920 --> 02:01:52.199
knows how to help you solve your shopping problems? The

2247
02:01:52.359 --> 02:01:55.680
better business girl knows, honey.

2248
02:01:55.720 --> 02:01:57.800
The TV that just won't work?

2249
02:01:58.079 --> 02:02:00.800
Who do I take it to the lady down the

2250
02:02:00.840 --> 02:02:03.520
street took hers into a place that charged her more,

2251
02:02:03.560 --> 02:02:04.399
and her set.

2252
02:02:04.359 --> 02:02:04.840
Was the worse.

2253
02:02:05.199 --> 02:02:06.520
Gosh, I don't know.

2254
02:02:09.880 --> 02:02:10.920
I'll tell you what to do.

2255
02:02:11.239 --> 02:02:15.039
Folks, who are you? I'm the man from your Better

2256
02:02:15.079 --> 02:02:18.760
Business Bureau. Now, before you take your set in for repairs,

2257
02:02:19.279 --> 02:02:22.439
shop around and check into a firm's reputation. You know

2258
02:02:22.560 --> 02:02:25.920
that's even more important than the price. Friends and neighbors

2259
02:02:26.000 --> 02:02:28.520
can help, or you can ask for a few names

2260
02:02:28.600 --> 02:02:31.960
of previous customers to find out if they were satisfied.

2261
02:02:32.600 --> 02:02:34.880
And since the amount you pay will vary from one

2262
02:02:34.920 --> 02:02:37.840
place to another, it's up to you to find out

2263
02:02:37.920 --> 02:02:40.960
an advance what a service will cost if you have

2264
02:02:41.079 --> 02:02:45.720
it fixed at home. Just another consumer tip from your

2265
02:02:45.760 --> 02:03:04.600
Better Business Gil Charles Powell's life has reached a climax.

2266
02:03:05.720 --> 02:03:09.479
He must make a decision to rid himself forever of

2267
02:03:09.600 --> 02:03:13.680
his blackmailer, and perhaps that very decision will destroy his

2268
02:03:13.840 --> 02:03:17.800
life and the life of a woman he loves. The

2269
02:03:17.920 --> 02:03:31.359
alternative is to keep paying and paying, never feeling safe. Oh, Alison,

2270
02:03:31.439 --> 02:03:35.680
I was expecting him, weren't you. Yes, I scatthered as

2271
02:03:35.760 --> 02:03:37.760
much when I called him at the office this afternoon.

2272
02:03:39.079 --> 02:03:46.239
Aren't you going to ask me in uh you you

2273
02:03:46.359 --> 02:03:47.399
were so evation.

2274
02:03:48.920 --> 02:03:51.840
Well to see me the safety. He wants more money

2275
02:03:52.119 --> 02:03:53.319
and you're going to give it to him. Well, I

2276
02:03:53.359 --> 02:03:54.439
haven't many choices, have I?

2277
02:03:55.079 --> 02:03:55.840
You mentioned one?

2278
02:03:56.039 --> 02:03:56.079
No?

2279
02:03:57.760 --> 02:04:00.800
No, Allison, I'm sorry I let that slip on. I

2280
02:04:00.880 --> 02:04:04.399
didn't mean it. I couldn't go through with that. If

2281
02:04:04.439 --> 02:04:09.560
I wanted to, I could. Well, I mean, you don't

2282
02:04:09.640 --> 02:04:10.399
know what you're saying.

2283
02:04:10.479 --> 02:04:13.199
I know very well, but I'm saying, how long do

2284
02:04:13.279 --> 02:04:14.960
you think you can keep this business hidden?

2285
02:04:15.000 --> 02:04:15.920
Well, I don't know. I don't know.

2286
02:04:16.000 --> 02:04:19.039
Maybe forever. Look, Look, he's not a young man. All

2287
02:04:19.079 --> 02:04:21.119
those years in prison, a kind of life he's led.

2288
02:04:21.159 --> 02:04:23.239
How many years do you think he has left? He

2289
02:04:23.319 --> 02:04:25.680
could die tomorrow, he could do something tomorrow that would

2290
02:04:25.720 --> 02:04:26.840
expose the whole game and them.

2291
02:04:26.840 --> 02:04:30.880
Where would we be? No, Charles, I love you. I

2292
02:04:31.000 --> 02:04:33.279
want us to marry and live a good, peaceful life.

2293
02:04:33.600 --> 02:04:35.119
How can we with all that hanging over?

2294
02:04:35.439 --> 02:04:36.600
Alison? Darling?

2295
02:04:37.479 --> 02:04:41.279
Darling, you don't really know what you're suggesting. Look, maybe

2296
02:04:41.319 --> 02:04:42.800
if we could get him to leave the country.

2297
02:04:42.880 --> 02:04:44.760
You said there were only two ways to deal with

2298
02:04:44.840 --> 02:04:46.920
a black mean to keep.

2299
02:04:46.840 --> 02:04:49.640
Paying no, no, to murder him is unthinkable.

2300
02:04:50.920 --> 02:04:52.960
George Hammill asked me to stop by at his office

2301
02:04:53.000 --> 02:04:55.239
this afternoon. Why he's not stupid.

2302
02:04:56.159 --> 02:04:58.800
Sorry, you gave my father about helping ex convicts of

2303
02:04:58.840 --> 02:05:00.840
public relations and washed with him.

2304
02:05:01.520 --> 02:05:02.640
He wanted to know what I knew.

2305
02:05:02.720 --> 02:05:03.760
Well, he was just fishing.

2306
02:05:04.439 --> 02:05:07.000
The best way would be to make it look like an.

2307
02:05:06.960 --> 02:05:11.840
Accident, Carson, we clear me out a car accident. Oh

2308
02:05:13.520 --> 02:05:15.479
if I cracked up with Clint in the car, I

2309
02:05:15.560 --> 02:05:17.239
might be the one who gets it. And what guarantee

2310
02:05:17.279 --> 02:05:19.119
do we have that he would die? Now?

2311
02:05:19.199 --> 02:05:20.439
You can't be in the same car.

2312
02:05:21.680 --> 02:05:24.840
If he were in another car and you were following him,

2313
02:05:25.560 --> 02:05:27.479
and if you raced ahead of him and cut him

2314
02:05:27.520 --> 02:05:29.560
off and forced him to crash off the road.

2315
02:05:29.720 --> 02:05:34.039
Oh if, if, if it's too diffy, it's so impersible,

2316
02:05:34.159 --> 02:05:35.119
it's so dream like.

2317
02:05:35.520 --> 02:05:39.159
It was a dream last night. I dreamt you were

2318
02:05:39.199 --> 02:05:42.079
in a car with me. We saw Clint up ahead

2319
02:05:42.119 --> 02:05:46.640
of this. I said, there's Clint ahead of his cut

2320
02:05:46.720 --> 02:05:50.840
him off and make him crash faster, faster. We had

2321
02:05:50.960 --> 02:05:54.319
nearly caught him now right alongside him, pushed him over,

2322
02:05:54.439 --> 02:05:58.520
got in front of him, and I woke up.

2323
02:05:58.560 --> 02:06:01.640
I was calling out. I was afraid someone had hurt.

2324
02:06:01.920 --> 02:06:04.479
Oh my, it's also real.

2325
02:06:05.920 --> 02:06:08.359
That's click Now, honey, you go at the back door.

2326
02:06:08.479 --> 02:06:09.039
I'll phone your.

2327
02:06:09.000 --> 02:06:11.199
Lates and when you say a meeting, no, I'm staying.

2328
02:06:11.880 --> 02:06:13.039
I've got something to say to it.

2329
02:06:13.119 --> 02:06:17.600
You won't like your being here, Well, it sure took

2330
02:06:17.680 --> 02:06:20.600
long enough. What's the idea, Powell?

2331
02:06:20.800 --> 02:06:20.920
Uh?

2332
02:06:21.279 --> 02:06:25.199
This is my fiance Alison MacCready? What's she doing here?

2333
02:06:25.279 --> 02:06:28.239
Will you come in and stop being childish? Year, I

2334
02:06:28.279 --> 02:06:32.079
ain't say anything. You got nothing on me. And remember,

2335
02:06:32.159 --> 02:06:35.000
mister Powell, you got a lot more to lose than

2336
02:06:35.039 --> 02:06:35.279
I have.

2337
02:06:35.560 --> 02:06:36.159
I'm not going to.

2338
02:06:36.199 --> 02:06:38.319
Lose anything, mister Livitz, you're going to gain by my

2339
02:06:38.439 --> 02:06:41.560
being here. Yeah, mister Powell has told me his story,

2340
02:06:41.640 --> 02:06:43.560
and I agree that it must not get up.

2341
02:06:44.119 --> 02:06:47.880
Go on, I have a lot more money. And let

2342
02:06:47.960 --> 02:06:50.920
me put it this way, Charles and I are going

2343
02:06:50.960 --> 02:06:53.960
to be married. We want you to leave the country.

2344
02:06:54.359 --> 02:06:58.640
Oh I bet you do. Look, Clint, you'll do better

2345
02:06:58.720 --> 02:06:59.960
by accepting our proposition.

2346
02:07:00.199 --> 02:07:02.600
We intend to hand you fifty thousand.

2347
02:07:02.279 --> 02:07:07.479
Dollars and an airplane ticket one way and never come back.

2348
02:07:07.800 --> 02:07:08.680
And never come back.

2349
02:07:11.960 --> 02:07:17.520
I always wanted to travel, but what fifty gs? Just

2350
02:07:17.680 --> 02:07:18.600
chicken free that's all.

2351
02:07:18.640 --> 02:07:21.920
There is not enough. I'm taking around a quarter of

2352
02:07:21.960 --> 02:07:22.640
a million.

2353
02:07:22.439 --> 02:07:24.840
Out of the question. I'm not going to bargain with you.

2354
02:07:25.760 --> 02:07:28.399
I can raise one hundred thousand, No Alison worth it

2355
02:07:28.520 --> 02:07:30.319
charge if we can depend on Trint to wipe the

2356
02:07:30.359 --> 02:07:32.520
whole matter out of his memory and just go away.

2357
02:07:32.760 --> 02:07:35.840
Oh you can depend on me, I'll keep my bargain.

2358
02:07:37.000 --> 02:07:40.359
Then it to deal a deal good.

2359
02:07:41.319 --> 02:07:43.479
It'll take about ten days to raise the money.

2360
02:07:43.600 --> 02:07:49.000
I am ari you are, And speaking of money, that

2361
02:07:49.159 --> 02:07:53.000
was the reason I came to night Charlie. Here here,

2362
02:07:54.039 --> 02:07:58.000
that's five hundred why he said a g like the last.

2363
02:07:58.000 --> 02:08:00.600
That's all I could raise in a hurry that runs out,

2364
02:08:00.640 --> 02:08:04.199
I'll have more. You went through that first thousand awfully fast.

2365
02:08:04.359 --> 02:08:06.199
Oh I got rolled in that bow where I had

2366
02:08:06.239 --> 02:08:08.720
the trouble. Oh, that reminds me. Your trial comes up

2367
02:08:08.760 --> 02:08:11.399
in less than three weeks. Yeah, oh yeah. Called me

2368
02:08:11.479 --> 02:08:14.880
at my hotel, see if I was still around.

2369
02:08:14.960 --> 02:08:17.119
I guess our plan is for you to jump to

2370
02:08:17.119 --> 02:08:17.520
your bell.

2371
02:08:17.600 --> 02:08:20.119
I'll forfeit the five thousand I put up for it and.

2372
02:08:20.199 --> 02:08:22.520
Get you out of the country with a gista full

2373
02:08:22.560 --> 02:08:27.000
a gree Wait, I ain't got a passport.

2374
02:08:26.560 --> 02:08:28.800
Now that can be arranged, Clifton, just leave that to me.

2375
02:08:30.319 --> 02:08:43.399
Okay, friends, you got yourself a deal, say Charlie, you're

2376
02:08:43.439 --> 02:08:45.560
gonna put this meal on your expense account. I hope

2377
02:08:46.600 --> 02:08:49.399
to rich for your blood, George to rich for my pocket.

2378
02:08:49.439 --> 02:08:53.279
Who JP's favorite French restaurant? Yeah, nice to have wealthy,

2379
02:08:53.359 --> 02:08:57.920
high paid executives for friends. I'm a simple man. I

2380
02:08:58.159 --> 02:09:04.479
like simple things and I like simple answers. Meanie, how

2381
02:09:04.520 --> 02:09:06.560
long you're going to cling to that kakam Amy story

2382
02:09:06.640 --> 02:09:08.960
about your helping ex CON's rehabilitate them?

2383
02:09:09.000 --> 02:09:12.439
So and it's the McCoy George, that guy got something

2384
02:09:12.520 --> 02:09:16.840
on your child. I'd almost hear the telephone or you both. Yes,

2385
02:09:16.920 --> 02:09:20.039
thank you? Where is it? Zy monsieur? I would plug it.

2386
02:09:20.079 --> 02:09:20.479
In for you?

2387
02:09:21.560 --> 02:09:28.319
Thank you, just like the movies. Yeah, hello, Charles. Oh yes, Allison,

2388
02:09:28.479 --> 02:09:29.239
I know George.

2389
02:09:29.039 --> 02:09:30.720
Himmels when you else He told me you were launching

2390
02:09:30.760 --> 02:09:30.960
with me.

2391
02:09:31.680 --> 02:09:33.039
Listen to what I'm going to say.

2392
02:09:32.960 --> 02:09:34.119
But don't get on to George.

2393
02:09:34.319 --> 02:09:38.159
Uh yes, yes, yes, dear Allison says hello, and to

2394
02:09:38.279 --> 02:09:40.079
remind you that in two and a half weeks she

2395
02:09:40.159 --> 02:09:42.199
wants to see you at the church, promptly.

2396
02:09:41.960 --> 02:09:45.920
At the left. I'll try to remember. Okay, he's also darling.

2397
02:09:46.000 --> 02:09:46.800
Now what's so important?

2398
02:09:47.359 --> 02:09:50.359
It's got to be tonight. I'll have a household to myself.

2399
02:09:50.560 --> 02:09:53.239
Uh, why is the color scheme so important?

2400
02:09:53.439 --> 02:09:55.680
The housekeeper and her husband are going into town to

2401
02:09:55.720 --> 02:09:57.920
see their fifteen year old son in the high school play.

2402
02:09:58.239 --> 02:10:01.039
Well, I don't see that that's such a problem. Choose

2403
02:10:01.119 --> 02:10:03.239
whatever color will make the bride's maids happy.

2404
02:10:03.720 --> 02:10:06.199
Rent a car and let Clint take it to drive

2405
02:10:06.279 --> 02:10:07.920
out and be here promptly at nine.

2406
02:10:08.000 --> 02:10:09.039
Do not come together.

2407
02:10:09.840 --> 02:10:12.119
You come out in your own car, but first report

2408
02:10:12.159 --> 02:10:15.680
it broken down, have it picked up tomorrow morning. You

2409
02:10:15.800 --> 02:10:19.239
bring it back after it's all over. Understand, we did

2410
02:10:19.319 --> 02:10:21.760
not see each other. You couldn't get here because your

2411
02:10:21.840 --> 02:10:22.840
car was out of order.

2412
02:10:23.159 --> 02:10:26.239
Oh, yes, yes, I followed here I follow. I'm not

2413
02:10:26.319 --> 02:10:27.119
sure I agree.

2414
02:10:27.840 --> 02:10:30.119
I have a twenty two target pistol. I know how

2415
02:10:30.159 --> 02:10:30.560
to use it.

2416
02:10:31.039 --> 02:10:34.520
Yes, I know you have to ask him to come there.

2417
02:10:34.600 --> 02:10:37.920
But then what do we do with the unwelcome guest.

2418
02:10:38.079 --> 02:10:40.439
There is spot about one hundred yards behind the house.

2419
02:10:40.920 --> 02:10:43.399
We get him out there in a wheelbarrow. There's a

2420
02:10:43.439 --> 02:10:47.600
hole an old cesspool. We drop him in quick gun

2421
02:10:48.399 --> 02:10:49.680
gardener's got several bags.

2422
02:10:49.720 --> 02:10:54.199
But uh, suppose the gardener wants to supply some flowers

2423
02:10:54.279 --> 02:10:54.960
for us all over?

2424
02:10:55.039 --> 02:10:57.760
The ear fired, We didn't hire one after that. As

2425
02:10:57.800 --> 02:10:59.720
soon as it's all over, we'll take the rental car

2426
02:10:59.800 --> 02:11:01.640
and mp it over the edge of the road. Dear town,

2427
02:11:02.359 --> 02:11:04.479
you know that bad place where there's no shoulder on

2428
02:11:04.560 --> 02:11:06.119
the road and only your friendly guard rail.

2429
02:11:06.560 --> 02:11:08.359
Yes, yes, I know, I know.

2430
02:11:08.920 --> 02:11:11.239
We jumped the car there and it smash up If

2431
02:11:11.279 --> 02:11:13.680
it cutches fire, so much the better. Can you take

2432
02:11:13.760 --> 02:11:15.560
me back to the house and rush back to the

2433
02:11:15.640 --> 02:11:17.079
city report.

2434
02:11:16.840 --> 02:11:17.960
The rental car stolen.

2435
02:11:18.760 --> 02:11:20.279
You've been in your apartment all.

2436
02:11:20.279 --> 02:11:23.359
Evening, understand, Yes?

2437
02:11:23.600 --> 02:11:27.279
Uh, the color scheme suits me fine. Dear you sure

2438
02:11:27.359 --> 02:11:32.720
have it all planned. No bibbles, no slip ups. Oh yes,

2439
02:11:33.000 --> 02:11:34.560
I'll be in my office till late.

2440
02:11:34.479 --> 02:11:36.479
Tonight nine at least if you want to reach me.

2441
02:11:36.800 --> 02:11:39.319
Good. That was for George's ears, wasn't it.

2442
02:11:39.439 --> 02:11:43.039
Yes, that's correct, Alison. I now look, I have a

2443
02:11:43.119 --> 02:11:46.680
report to get out. If you've completed your instructions, off,

2444
02:11:46.880 --> 02:11:48.359
get back to my lunch with George.

2445
02:11:48.439 --> 02:11:55.479
Goodbye to Wow, that's only the beginning, Charley, Where does

2446
02:11:55.520 --> 02:11:58.159
she get your signed on the dotted.

2447
02:11:57.880 --> 02:12:09.000
Line, mister Powell, something terrible has happened.

2448
02:12:09.079 --> 02:12:09.720
What is it, Elsie.

2449
02:12:09.760 --> 02:12:12.279
It's been a terrible accident on the late shift. Man's

2450
02:12:12.279 --> 02:12:15.159
got a machine, the big good lord.

2451
02:12:15.239 --> 02:12:17.159
Has the hospital been called? I don't know. I'll call

2452
02:12:17.199 --> 02:12:18.560
him on your phone. I've got to use this.

2453
02:12:18.640 --> 02:12:21.840
One, yes, sir, i'lcohol, and then call down.

2454
02:12:21.720 --> 02:12:22.119
To the plant.

2455
02:12:22.199 --> 02:12:24.159
Tell him I'm coming down. If it's what I think

2456
02:12:24.199 --> 02:12:27.079
it is, the machine will have to be partially dismantled, yes, sir.

2457
02:12:31.560 --> 02:12:35.319
Hell Allison, listen, there's a change of plans, Charles. I'm

2458
02:12:35.319 --> 02:12:39.720
still at the office something. Yes, I know he has

2459
02:12:39.760 --> 02:12:40.479
the rental car.

2460
02:12:40.560 --> 02:12:41.159
I got it for it.

2461
02:12:42.079 --> 02:12:43.840
Well, there's been a bad accident on the night shift.

2462
02:12:43.880 --> 02:12:45.680
A man's caught in the big metal press. I've got

2463
02:12:45.760 --> 02:12:46.479
to help get him out.

2464
02:12:46.800 --> 02:12:49.079
Us about that, well, when it comes, stall them, just

2465
02:12:49.159 --> 02:12:50.880
tell him what happened. Why I'm delayed.

2466
02:12:50.920 --> 02:12:52.359
I haven't got the money to tell him.

2467
02:12:52.359 --> 02:12:54.880
I'm bringing the money, the airplane ticket and the passport.

2468
02:12:55.000 --> 02:12:55.520
Just stall them.

2469
02:12:55.520 --> 02:12:57.600
I'll do my best. Hurry he scares me.

2470
02:13:08.399 --> 02:13:11.439
Ten o'clock an hour later and I'll be still there.

2471
02:13:14.479 --> 02:13:17.880
Your lights around here? Come the two ladies still here?

2472
02:13:22.000 --> 02:13:29.800
Alison, Alison, open up, clan, don't leave clik wait when

2473
02:13:29.840 --> 02:13:32.640
you wait, I'm here, clan Clan.

2474
02:13:33.279 --> 02:13:35.119
I cann't stop him. I gotta catch him.

2475
02:13:49.520 --> 02:13:55.520
Clean Heather, cut him off and make him crash, make

2476
02:13:55.640 --> 02:14:01.800

2477
02:14:02.720 --> 02:14:06.239
hid him cli clif for just stuff.

2478
02:14:06.680 --> 02:14:07.960
I'll running off the road.

2479
02:14:08.359 --> 02:14:11.479
Of him off, force him off.

2480
02:14:13.800 --> 02:14:15.000
You cut him off.

2481
02:14:15.840 --> 02:14:16.680
You've done it.

2482
02:14:21.600 --> 02:14:38.760
Crush and burnie, yeah, let him let him burn. He

2483
02:14:39.600 --> 02:14:43.800
is this Arrow Car rental service. Well, I rented a

2484
02:14:43.840 --> 02:14:47.039
car from you people this morning. No, no, no, no no,

2485
02:14:47.199 --> 02:14:51.159
there's nothing wrong with the car. I just want to

2486
02:14:51.239 --> 02:15:00.000
report it stolen City Foreign car service.

2487
02:15:00.439 --> 02:15:00.640
Look.

2488
02:15:00.720 --> 02:15:02.680
I asked for my car to be picked up in

2489
02:15:02.760 --> 02:15:05.600
my driveway and still here. And I called, or rather

2490
02:15:05.920 --> 02:15:08.960
my secretary called, at ten this morning. My name is

2491
02:15:09.039 --> 02:15:09.760
Charles Powell.

2492
02:15:17.159 --> 02:15:21.399
Come on, come on, ian's the phone.

2493
02:15:26.800 --> 02:15:33.279
Just a moment, oh, George, George, it's kind of late

2494
02:15:33.359 --> 02:15:37.640
for a visit coming as I was just trying to

2495
02:15:37.680 --> 02:15:40.560
phone Allison. Or what a night this has been? There

2496
02:15:40.640 --> 02:15:44.039
was an accident at the Planet Peterson. I hope they

2497
02:15:44.039 --> 02:15:46.920
don't have to hechitate, yes, And then when I got

2498
02:15:46.960 --> 02:15:48.640
outside I had a date with Alison in the car

2499
02:15:48.720 --> 02:15:51.319
that I had rendered this morning was missing.

2500
02:15:51.399 --> 02:15:53.840
It was stolen. What happened to that great, big, powerful

2501
02:15:53.960 --> 02:15:54.680
foreign job of you.

2502
02:15:54.880 --> 02:15:57.920
Oh, it wouldn't start this morning. Had Elsie call the

2503
02:15:57.960 --> 02:15:59.680
service people, but they haven't picked it up yet.

2504
02:15:59.720 --> 02:16:00.520
I just called to me.

2505
02:16:01.640 --> 02:16:05.760
They have a night answering service. You've had a busy evening, Yeah.

2506
02:16:05.680 --> 02:16:05.920
Very.

2507
02:16:07.439 --> 02:16:09.880
Well, I think I can clear up one of your puzzles. Charlie.

2508
02:16:10.800 --> 02:16:11.680
Your rental car was.

2509
02:16:11.680 --> 02:16:16.479
Found with a thief in it. You caught him dead,

2510
02:16:17.319 --> 02:16:20.000
burned to a cinder. Must have been going at a

2511
02:16:20.079 --> 02:16:22.960
terrific speed. Tire marks on the road as he went off,

2512
02:16:23.479 --> 02:16:28.600
cracked up and burned. Yeah, some kid, No, this may

2513
02:16:28.720 --> 02:16:33.760
surprise you. It's your protege, Clint Livits. We found enough

2514
02:16:33.760 --> 02:16:38.200
of him to identify him and slightly burnt the still

2515
02:16:38.319 --> 02:16:45.200
usable bank roll those sizeable proportions. Well that closes his case,

2516
02:16:45.319 --> 02:16:52.040
doesn't it? And opens up several others. Incidentally, where were

2517
02:16:52.079 --> 02:16:56.719
you all evening home after I got back from the plant.

2518
02:16:57.000 --> 02:16:57.959
You didn't go up?

2519
02:16:58.000 --> 02:17:00.079
Well, I told you my rental car got stole and

2520
02:17:00.159 --> 02:17:03.600
I came home by cab to change my clathes. The

2521
02:17:03.639 --> 02:17:04.879
big car is out of commission.

2522
02:17:06.120 --> 02:17:09.280
I won't play games with you, Charlie. I checked it

2523
02:17:09.319 --> 02:17:12.639
in the driveway just before I came up. The engine

2524
02:17:12.719 --> 02:17:16.239
is still quite warm. Do you want to explain that?

2525
02:17:19.040 --> 02:17:26.639
No, I don't. I'll explain, Charlie. I'm arresting you for murder.

2526
02:17:27.200 --> 02:17:30.879
I must warn George. What are you talking about? Are

2527
02:17:30.879 --> 02:17:33.920
you accusing me of Clint Livid's dead No, No, that

2528
02:17:34.239 --> 02:17:37.959
was obviously an accident. I'm holding you.

2529
02:17:39.440 --> 02:17:43.360
For the murder of Alison McCready, the girl you were

2530
02:17:43.399 --> 02:17:51.959
going to marry. And in conclusion, ladies and gentlemen of

2531
02:17:52.040 --> 02:17:56.959
the jury, my prosecution of Charles Powell or Robert Hagen

2532
02:17:57.719 --> 02:18:01.680
has been a painful past. I was his best friend.

2533
02:18:02.959 --> 02:18:04.879
It was difficult to believe that he would kill the

2534
02:18:04.920 --> 02:18:10.920
woman he loved. But the evidence is conclusive. Charles killed

2535
02:18:10.959 --> 02:18:15.239
his lovely fiance because she discovered his real identity, an

2536
02:18:15.360 --> 02:18:19.159
escaped convict, a killer sentenced to life for another murder.

2537
02:18:20.399 --> 02:18:24.280
The testimony of the housekeeper, Missus Francis, cannot be doubted.

2538
02:18:25.399 --> 02:18:29.239
She did not leave the house as he thought. She

2539
02:18:29.360 --> 02:18:31.280
saw him run from the house, jump into his.

2540
02:18:31.360 --> 02:18:35.120
Car and race away, and then she discovered the body

2541
02:18:35.159 --> 02:18:36.760
of Alison McCready.

2542
02:18:37.520 --> 02:18:38.559
Shot through the heads.

2543
02:18:46.680 --> 02:18:51.639
You runner, may I may I make a statement before

2544
02:18:51.680 --> 02:18:57.559
you pronounce sentence. I did not kill Alison.

2545
02:18:57.639 --> 02:18:58.159
My love to.

2546
02:19:00.159 --> 02:19:03.920
To say anything more in my defense is useless and unnecessary.

2547
02:19:06.200 --> 02:19:10.639
Alison is dead. All I ask is that I be

2548
02:19:10.719 --> 02:19:17.920
given the chance to follow it swiftly and deficiently.

2549
02:19:23.879 --> 02:19:27.120
And so a man is twice accused of murder and

2550
02:19:27.319 --> 02:19:31.920
twice sentenced for the crime, A weary man who asks.

2551
02:19:31.799 --> 02:19:34.719
Only to be allowed to follow the woman he loves.

2552
02:19:35.799 --> 02:19:36.760
I'll be back shortly.

2553
02:19:37.239 --> 02:19:41.319
Take the childly, sir, Take the chime.

2554
02:19:41.559 --> 02:19:43.600
Agare below.

2555
02:19:43.840 --> 02:19:46.799
You are in my mind?

2556
02:19:46.920 --> 02:19:47.479
Is yours?

2557
02:19:49.639 --> 02:19:50.920
Listen with your.

2558
02:19:52.719 --> 02:19:54.440
Listen with your mind?

2559
02:19:55.799 --> 02:19:56.040
When?

2560
02:20:01.719 --> 02:20:04.520
How do you do? Sir? And my grandmother just died.

2561
02:20:04.559 --> 02:20:07.159
I'm so happy for you. Meet missus minos.

2562
02:20:07.319 --> 02:20:07.959
How do you do?

2563
02:20:08.479 --> 02:20:10.399
Did you know you have spinach on your tea?

2564
02:20:10.520 --> 02:20:11.600
So that's wonderful.

2565
02:20:11.760 --> 02:20:14.280
This is mister Jackson. Nice to meet you. I have

2566
02:20:14.600 --> 02:20:18.399
voted play. Oh yes, mister play meet the reception lines.

2567
02:20:18.440 --> 02:20:21.040
I'm the only places people don't listen when you.

2568
02:20:26.200 --> 02:20:28.079
Love me? What you.

2569
02:20:29.920 --> 02:20:31.840
A lot from the Church of Jesus Christ, of what

2570
02:20:31.959 --> 02:20:49.559
a day saints, the Mormons, and there we have it.

2571
02:20:50.399 --> 02:20:55.239
Charles Powell's joust with Fate. What difference did it make

2572
02:20:55.559 --> 02:21:00.239
that he knew that Clint had murdered Allison. They didn't believed,

2573
02:21:01.319 --> 02:21:04.440
and he was too weary to try to make them believe.

2574
02:21:06.440 --> 02:21:11.200
Our cast included Larry Haynes, Anne Mitscham, Jackson Beck, Sydney

2575
02:21:11.239 --> 02:21:12.920
Walker and Tom Keena.

2576
02:21:14.200 --> 02:21:16.959
The entire production was under the direction of Hyman Brown.

2577
02:21:19.399 --> 02:21:19.639
Ah.

2578
02:21:20.959 --> 02:21:25.680
Nothing helps end a cold and eerie night quite like

2579
02:21:26.840 --> 02:21:30.280
a pleasant record, and of course the company of a

2580
02:21:31.200 --> 02:21:35.000
pleasant friend. I'm very thankful that you come to see me,

2581
02:21:35.879 --> 02:21:38.159
and I hope you'll be careful on your way back.

2582
02:21:39.079 --> 02:21:44.920
What's that well, I don't know. The sun's is still

2583
02:21:44.959 --> 02:21:49.120
a ways away, but I can feel it coming. So

2584
02:21:49.639 --> 02:21:53.479
while I returned to wherever it is I come from,

2585
02:21:54.479 --> 02:22:00.079
and you take your long walk across the stream with

2586
02:22:00.159 --> 02:22:04.079
the railroad tracks, passed the river and through the woods,

2587
02:22:04.879 --> 02:22:08.879
only not on your way to grandmother's house, I hope

2588
02:22:08.920 --> 02:22:13.159
you'll be safe and care for. Look over your shoulder

2589
02:22:13.479 --> 02:22:16.520
just enough, but not too much to give it away

2590
02:22:17.719 --> 02:22:21.879
because it's out there. And as you lay your head

2591
02:22:21.959 --> 02:22:26.799
on your warm pillow and your beautiful bed, please remember

2592
02:22:28.040 --> 02:22:33.200
be thankful for what you have and I'll see next week,

2593
02:22:33.319 --> 02:22:33.719
next week,
