1
00:00:08.960 --> 00:00:14.919
Well, hello there, happy to
have you. Is it October again?

2
00:00:15.240 --> 00:00:20.039
Already? Already? Well, my
dear, I suppose it is. If

3
00:00:20.039 --> 00:00:27.879
you're receiving me on your radio dial, you must have searched quite a way

4
00:00:27.960 --> 00:00:34.320
is to find me. Well,
please sit down, put up your feet.

5
00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:40.520
Who am I? Oh? Well
I I unfortunately can really can't exactly

6
00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:45.560
tell you. Tell you see where
I am? Well, not many of

7
00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:51.039
us have any at least not one
that we can remember. But we don't

8
00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:54.600
need those here, No, no, no, no no. All we

9
00:00:54.679 --> 00:01:00.280
need is each other, each other
and a little fear to get the blood

10
00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:07.480
pumping if you're lucky enough to still
have any. But now, my dear,

11
00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:11.920
why don't you relax. I'll put
on something hot to drink and we'll

12
00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:19.480
start with this scary story. Tired
of the everyday grind, ever dream of

13
00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:26.439
a life of romantic adventure, I
want to get away from it all.

14
00:01:27.719 --> 00:01:38.000
We offer you escape, escape designed
to free you from the four walls of

15
00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:56.079
today for a half hour of high
adventure. You are kneeling in the church

16
00:01:56.159 --> 00:02:04.239
of a Caribbean village, seeking the
sanctuary it might offer. While slowly walking

17
00:02:04.319 --> 00:02:10.479
down the aisle, carefully studying each
bowed head is the brute of a man

18
00:02:12.719 --> 00:02:15.960
who has come to kill you.
Listen now, as escape brings you less

19
00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:46.280
crutch for your story. Violent night, huh. I came awake, suddenly,

20
00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:53.639
wide awake. It's a trick you
learn around the back countries of the

21
00:02:53.680 --> 00:03:01.199
Caribbean if you want to stay alive. I didn't move, I didn't make

22
00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:08.360
a sound, just stared into the
darkness and listened. And then it came

23
00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:15.280
again. Somebody was on the veranda. I slid off the cut, reached

24
00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:23.360
for my pistol on the table and
stood up barefoot did I moved quietly across

25
00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:30.120
the room and stopped by the shutters. Sen, you're a creedy Who is

26
00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:35.599
it? Pepita? It is Pepita, Pepita, I am come to warn

27
00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:39.400
you with terrible danger. Are you
alone? All right? Wait a second,

28
00:03:39.560 --> 00:03:46.719
quickly, what's wrong? What's the
matter? Look toward the village,

29
00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:53.919
put monte Miguel, but fire?
What's burnings of the police, the federal

30
00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:58.840
release the army back other places?
It is a revolution, Sen, the

31
00:03:58.919 --> 00:04:03.199
revolution? Who is it? Who's
behind it? A lakran? What?

32
00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:08.560
He has come out of the jungle
again? One thousand men all follow him,

33
00:04:08.599 --> 00:04:12.080
and now more from the village.
He has guns, trucks, cars,

34
00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:15.519
radios. He has called himself governor
of the district. Governor. He

35
00:04:15.600 --> 00:04:19.800
won't last forty eight hours. Everyone
say it is revolution all over the country.

36
00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:30.279
You must leave your plantation and go
quickly. You'll think he still remembers

37
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:35.639
Alakran. We'll never forget, not
ever, not before one of you is

38
00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:43.000
dead. Maybe you're right, all
right, Thanks Pepeter, thanks for everything.

39
00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:58.240
Ten minutes later, I lay hidden
in a clump of bamboo by the

40
00:04:58.279 --> 00:05:02.959
irrigation ditch, thirty yachts from my
house, watching a convoy of army trucks

41
00:05:03.000 --> 00:05:10.079
swinging from the highway and roar up
the road toward the plantation. I kind

42
00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:13.839
of struck out, then run away, but I had to know the yachts

43
00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:23.839
no whether Alacron was making it personal, whether he still remembered. The trucks

44
00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:29.759
getted to a stop. Men with
rifles piled out circled the house. Spotlights

45
00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:33.839
cut through the night, lit up
my bungalow, probing at the shutters,

46
00:05:33.839 --> 00:05:38.560
but I didn't see him until he
stepped into the circle of lights and called

47
00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:46.680
out, Grady misted valley or gravy, Alacron, you're west in a dim

48
00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:50.839
through grady. You may as well
to go out, educated in the States,

49
00:05:51.079 --> 00:05:56.279
but as cunning and cruel as the
wildest Indian in the bush? Are

50
00:05:56.360 --> 00:06:00.920
you afraid of me? Mister?
He had friend to come out and greet

51
00:06:01.000 --> 00:06:06.199
an old friend who is not forgotten
for a minute, acron leader of a

52
00:06:06.279 --> 00:06:12.079
revolution, self style governor of the
district, and he'd taken time out to

53
00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:16.519
leap this rate personally. Yes,
Pepito was right, he hadn't forgotten.

54
00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:24.120
He blasted the boat off my door
with a tommy gun, and then with

55
00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:27.519
a half a dozen of his men, he plunged into the house. It

56
00:06:27.560 --> 00:06:30.839
was time to get out. I'd
wanted to know the odds, and now

57
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:40.879
I knew them, I didn't have
a chance. I ran for nearly two

58
00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:45.240
miles through my coffee groves, along
the banks of the ditches, through the

59
00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:49.680
patches of bush before I finally played
off. I was beside a narrow road

60
00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:56.040
leading back into the hills. I
dropped down with the edge of it and

61
00:06:56.480 --> 00:07:05.600
tried to get my wind back lacron. For two years he'd waited, and

62
00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:10.879
now he was coming after me.
He'd been trying to start a revolt.

63
00:07:10.959 --> 00:07:15.279
Then I'd dragged him away from my
workman, taking his gun away from him

64
00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:19.720
and beaten him to a pulp.
And now he was back in control of

65
00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:26.480
the whole district, with a wolf
pack at his heels. And then suddenly

66
00:07:26.519 --> 00:07:30.600
I noticed the headlights of a car
coming down the road from the hills.

67
00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:33.040
The lights were too close together and
too low to the ground for an army

68
00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:36.839
truck. There were ranchers up in
the hills resorts. It might be a

69
00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:42.120
private car. It was worth a
chance. I worked feverishly, but the

70
00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:45.879
car was close now and moving fast. I gathered an armful of brush through

71
00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:47.480
it, and the road struck a
match and set fire to it. And

72
00:07:47.480 --> 00:07:58.079
then I dropped down in the ditch
and waited, all right, easy enough,

73
00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:01.680
don't what do you want? I
want your car? No, it

74
00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:05.439
is impossible. Let me go.
Oh no, you don't. Let go

75
00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:11.639
on. You're hurting me. Take
your hands off. Thanks. Well,

76
00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:15.000
that's a lot of gun for a
lady. I will take care of that,

77
00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:18.720
you fool. Do you know who
I am? No? I am

78
00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:22.079
the daughter of the governor of this
district. You what, It's true.

79
00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:26.120
I'd heard he had a daughter,
But who'd ever expect that fat pig,

80
00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:30.439
that one, that looks like you. I promise you signor if you go

81
00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:33.279
on with this, I will see
that you are shot against a wall.

82
00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:37.879
You're too late. Your father already
has that idea more likely a whist one.

83
00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:43.000
You know. I think you're going
to come in awfully handy before morning.

84
00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:46.559
If you think, what do I
call you? What's your name?

85
00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:48.480
Maria? All right, Mariel,
Let's get this straight. I got one

86
00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:52.200
chance in a thousand of staying alive, and if I can help that chance,

87
00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:54.720
I'll do anything. You understand.
Please, No, we're gonna get

88
00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:58.759
out of here. We're gonna get
out together. Whatever happens. Your father,

89
00:09:00.200 --> 00:09:03.440
me and I got you all right, Now, get the car started.

90
00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:16.639
We came off the side road two
miles from Montey Miguel, across the

91
00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:20.679
main highway and took the old road
to sun Vicente. It was one hundred

92
00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:24.120
and ten miles to the capitol,
but the sports car was fast. I

93
00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:28.320
could out run any army vehicle out
Catron's men might have, and there was

94
00:09:28.360 --> 00:09:31.799
a good chance he hadn't yet blockaded
the sun Vicinity Highway. Now it was

95
00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:37.320
a good dream had lasted for two
miles, and then it popped like a

96
00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:41.799
soap bubble in the road. I
hid in your lights. Trucks man moving,

97
00:09:43.720 --> 00:09:45.759
What do you want me to do? Brakes up, brakes? Come

98
00:09:45.799 --> 00:09:58.679
on and get this thing? See
see all and come on see let's get

99
00:09:58.679 --> 00:10:05.399
out of here. Come on,
last. It was close, plenty close.

100
00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:16.159
We're still like we could have blurted
straight into that are They blocked us,

101
00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:18.240
but at least they didn't get us, and we still got a chance

102
00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:24.639
of circling back. But what's wrong? What is it? I do know?

103
00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:30.840
I'm not doing anything to do.
Wait a minute, yeah, yeah,

104
00:10:30.840 --> 00:10:33.799
I can smell it. A bullet
must have smashed up in the gas

105
00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:37.919
tank. We're out of pitt Yeah, got it over to the side,

106
00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:41.879
no farther, climb over to the
canal bank the irrigation that you're gone?

107
00:10:45.639 --> 00:10:48.840
All right, come on, get
up, Come on, what are we

108
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:52.960
going to do it here? Just
give me a hand. We're gonna get

109
00:10:52.000 --> 00:11:01.759
it rolling. Come on in limit
all right, come on, let's go.

110
00:11:03.919 --> 00:11:05.039
What do you mean? I'll be
along here running second? Fine,

111
00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:07.600
where we sank the car? Come
after us. We don't have much time.

112
00:11:07.639 --> 00:11:09.639
Now, come on, let's get
across that ditch in the water.

113
00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:13.039
No, I will not do it. I will not go into the water.

114
00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:22.159
Oh you want all right, don't
stop, hold your bread. Just

115
00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:26.840
take it easy. Quit fighting and
relax, will you. I'll get you

116
00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:31.759
across. It's only twenty feet wide. All right, easy, now,

117
00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:41.799
all right, there we go.
Now grab the back. It takes me.

118
00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:48.240
Oh my life, I'm going to
kill you. Maybe not. I

119
00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:52.559
might have to kill you first.
Now, come on, I'm not going

120
00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:56.639
into that jungle with you, no
matter what you do to me, I

121
00:11:56.679 --> 00:12:03.559
am not going. Come on.
Move. Alacron had out maneuvered me,

122
00:12:03.799 --> 00:12:07.240
outflanked me. There was no use
trying to break south towards the capital.

123
00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:11.000
He had the whole area sewed up. So I decided on a gamble.

124
00:12:11.879 --> 00:12:15.799
I turned back, head for the
last place on earth he'd looked for me,

125
00:12:16.879 --> 00:12:31.039
the village of Manta mc gellert's.
It was nearly midnight when we entered

126
00:12:31.080 --> 00:12:35.159
the village. I kept a tight
grip on Maria's arm and hurried her through

127
00:12:35.159 --> 00:12:39.000
the back streets and alleys, heading
toward the Peter's Room on the other side

128
00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:43.559
of town. Though we didn't make
it. A patrol of rebels came around

129
00:12:43.559 --> 00:12:46.399
the corner and moved toward us.
We couldn't turn and run. We couldn't

130
00:12:46.440 --> 00:12:48.600
go on. We were trapped.
But we'd stopped in front of a house

131
00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:52.639
built flushed against the street. The
door was only a few feet away.

132
00:12:52.679 --> 00:12:56.720
I stepped over and tried it.
It was unlocked. I drew my gun

133
00:12:56.759 --> 00:13:05.840
and pushed the door open. I
come on one inside, What are you

134
00:13:05.879 --> 00:13:11.720
going to do? Wait for the
patrol to pass. I'll be quiet here

135
00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:30.440
they come, not a son,
Maria sho oh. That was lucky,

136
00:13:33.559 --> 00:13:39.519
well double lucky. In fact,
the head man here has gone up and

137
00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:46.279
left some clothes already for me alone. I Camisa, sap blea, if

138
00:13:46.279 --> 00:13:48.960
we can find something for you?
What do you mean, well, dress

139
00:13:50.039 --> 00:13:54.039
like we are. We don't have
a chance here. Let's order do it.

140
00:13:54.159 --> 00:13:56.919
Catch it. Here's the show for
you. You can throw it over

141
00:13:56.960 --> 00:14:00.679
your head and keep it around your
face. I think I am going to

142
00:14:00.759 --> 00:14:03.879
change my clothes behind that curtain and
do it anyway you want. But get

143
00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:11.320
into that dress and do it fast. In a few minutes we were back

144
00:14:11.320 --> 00:14:16.639
into the marketplace, walking rapidly,
and then as we passed the great doors

145
00:14:16.679 --> 00:14:24.320
of the church, I've frozen my
tracks. Acron He was launching in the

146
00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:30.440
back of a churing car. Fat
and evil this way into the church.

147
00:14:31.080 --> 00:14:37.000
If he sees me, We're finished, Slow and solemn. All right up

148
00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:45.480
the steps and keep your head down, odd half scared the way, the

149
00:14:45.559 --> 00:15:07.600
villagers going all right up towards the
front. Hurry all right here, all

150
00:15:07.679 --> 00:15:18.279
right, this is far enough.
I'll nail down its beautiful verse, safe

151
00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:22.759
for the moment. If you please, don't move, Maria, don't cry

152
00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:28.200
up the guns pressed against your side, keep your head down and pretend you're

153
00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:46.559
praying better yet really pray you are
listening to Violent Night. Tonight's presentation on

154
00:15:46.919 --> 00:15:52.120
Escape Next Monday Night on CBS Radio, Ronald Reagan stars and the Luxe Radio

155
00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:56.320
Theater adaptation of Carbene Williams with Wendell
Corey and Geen Hagen in their original screen

156
00:15:56.480 --> 00:16:02.000
roles Next Monday Night, when you
will also want to hear Tyrone Power in

157
00:16:02.120 --> 00:16:07.919
suspenses production The Guilty Always Run and
Now Escape and the second act of Violent

158
00:16:08.080 --> 00:16:33.799
Night. The padre white haired an
old melt at the order and went on

159
00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:37.480
with his prayer. Not hearing the
summons from the back of the church,

160
00:16:38.559 --> 00:16:42.960
Some of the kneeling villagers turned to
look, and then turned back quickly beneath

161
00:16:44.000 --> 00:16:52.960
my SAPPI I kept the gun press
tied against Marius. Alecron was walking up

162
00:16:53.000 --> 00:16:56.759
the aisle toward the front of the
church, moving slowly and deliberately, stopping

163
00:16:56.840 --> 00:17:03.519
to glance along each row and study
the kniving worshippers. You cannot come here

164
00:17:03.600 --> 00:17:07.200
with arms, as my son.
This is a place of peace, and

165
00:17:07.440 --> 00:17:11.079
I am a very peaceful man,
as long as I am not denied the

166
00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:17.440
things I want? What is it
you want? Man? And told they

167
00:17:17.519 --> 00:17:21.680
have some women with him, they
may have come in here. I only

168
00:17:21.759 --> 00:17:26.200
need a moment more to finish checking
your follower. No, I cannot permit

169
00:17:26.359 --> 00:17:32.200
that. Father, You know who
I am. Now we can be friends,

170
00:17:32.400 --> 00:17:37.519
or we can be enemies, as
you choose. Of course, learning

171
00:17:37.599 --> 00:17:41.920
their church is not to my like. Go with outside if you wish.

172
00:17:41.480 --> 00:17:45.519
I am on the point of dismissing
the congregation. You may watch them as

173
00:17:45.559 --> 00:17:52.839
they leave. All right, you're
clever and compromised. Father, I'm sure

174
00:17:52.920 --> 00:18:00.400
we will learn to understand each other. As me says that they another.

175
00:18:00.279 --> 00:18:10.519
That is all my children, viron
on yours, my son? What is

176
00:18:10.559 --> 00:18:12.599
it Patrick? This way? Follow
me? Both of you. Come quick,

177
00:18:12.920 --> 00:18:23.240
Come on, Maria in here.
You're taking a big chance. Pattery

178
00:18:23.279 --> 00:18:26.200
if he finds up. You're in
trouble. You have heard of sanctuary,

179
00:18:26.319 --> 00:18:30.519
my son, the sanctuary of the
church. Yes, of course, Unfortunately

180
00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:33.759
I cannot assure you that sanctuary,
but perhaps I can help you in some

181
00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:37.839
small way to find your own sanctuary. Thank you. Patrick. In a

182
00:18:37.920 --> 00:18:42.880
few minutes, when everyone has gone, he will be set. Who is

183
00:18:42.920 --> 00:18:48.880
it? One moment I am informed
that you're hiding a man in world from

184
00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:56.920
the congregation. Open this door,
have patience now here behind the desk.

185
00:18:56.079 --> 00:19:00.680
That is a way out. Now, both of you quickly. The passage

186
00:19:00.720 --> 00:19:06.039
opens on an alleyway behind the church. No children, Thank you, scorning

187
00:19:06.119 --> 00:19:15.400
yours. When we came into the
open alleyway, we were on the very

188
00:19:15.519 --> 00:19:18.359
edge of the village, on a
crooked path that ran between the walls and

189
00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:22.920
backs of the buildings on one side
and the dark, dense mass of the

190
00:19:22.680 --> 00:19:27.319
Via di Upload jungle on the other. But for a moment we were safe.

191
00:19:30.559 --> 00:19:37.559
Marie back here in the church.
Would you really have killed me?

192
00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:40.920
Look, I'd hate to do anything
to hurt you, but if I have

193
00:19:41.039 --> 00:19:44.319
to, I will. Why do
you hate me so much? I don't

194
00:19:44.440 --> 00:19:47.799
hate you. Why should I hate
you? My as and no hole,

195
00:19:47.839 --> 00:19:49.480
I've got nothing against you personally.
You just picked the wrong man for a

196
00:19:49.559 --> 00:19:53.920
father, that's all. Wait,
hold it, very, shoot, it's

197
00:19:53.960 --> 00:19:56.880
only a child, you, Yes, it's only a child. But he

198
00:19:56.960 --> 00:20:00.759
knows who we are, and you'll
have a whole town here in two minutes,

199
00:20:00.759 --> 00:20:03.640
says no choice left. No,
come on, what are you doing?

200
00:20:03.680 --> 00:20:26.200
Where are we going into the jungle, into the firelock? Yes,

201
00:20:27.160 --> 00:20:33.799
I got turns. I can't go
on much further. All right, all

202
00:20:33.880 --> 00:20:38.440
right, Maria, let's slow down, take it easier. I don't think

203
00:20:38.440 --> 00:20:42.480
he's got to find us now.
I think maybe we got a chance.

204
00:20:44.319 --> 00:20:48.519
Can't we stop them? No?
No, in ten minutes we wouldn't be

205
00:20:48.559 --> 00:20:52.400
able to move again. The sky
is beginning to light, and it'll be

206
00:20:52.559 --> 00:21:00.480
dawn and less than an hour.
He can't chase us forever. He's got

207
00:21:00.519 --> 00:21:07.359
a revolution on his hands. Very, it's all been so strange, like

208
00:21:07.480 --> 00:21:14.559
good nightmare, all mixed up.
I hated you at first, forgive it.

209
00:21:15.799 --> 00:21:18.000
I didn't know who you were,
what you were doing, TONI.

210
00:21:18.599 --> 00:21:27.319
And finally I began to understand,
Hi, I don't hate you in Alberry.

211
00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:36.079
Good Maria, it works out better
that way. In fact, I'm

212
00:21:36.119 --> 00:21:45.119
afraid I like you very much,
why afraid. Yes, Maria, we'll

213
00:21:45.119 --> 00:21:51.599
be out of this before long.
And what wait, what is it?

214
00:21:51.680 --> 00:21:56.160
Berry? There's a dog's Yeah,
they're trailing us with dogs. No matter

215
00:21:56.160 --> 00:22:06.079
where we're going now they will find
us. Come on, Maria, And

216
00:22:06.240 --> 00:22:11.720
we ran again down the twisting jungle
trail, on and on, knowing while

217
00:22:11.759 --> 00:22:15.359
we ran that there was no way
out, no way of escape. And

218
00:22:15.440 --> 00:22:21.319
then suddenly we burst out into a
clearing and stopped on our tracks. For

219
00:22:21.480 --> 00:22:26.759
ahead of us, dark and ancient. It's stones worn by trapic rains,

220
00:22:26.400 --> 00:22:33.279
grown over with lichen and moss,
was a Mayan pyramid built by men dead

221
00:22:33.440 --> 00:22:38.880
for centuries, lost and forgotten in
the Vaya Tiablum. We broke into a

222
00:22:38.960 --> 00:22:47.240
run across the claring inside Barry,
Oh, why not? What have we

223
00:22:47.319 --> 00:22:57.119
got to lose? All? Right
inside? Quick, right into the flap,

224
00:22:57.519 --> 00:23:02.240
just because I spoke behind it,
somewhere at the edge of the clearing

225
00:23:03.839 --> 00:23:07.599
here for some time, you know, waiting for my beaters to drive you

226
00:23:07.680 --> 00:23:18.440
out of the broad always predictable,
vistle, greedy? What looks precisely what

227
00:23:18.759 --> 00:23:26.680
you're going to do? Before you
do? I like Brown, listen to

228
00:23:26.880 --> 00:23:37.119
me. I've got Maria with me. I recolldize and listen. Before I'll

229
00:23:37.160 --> 00:23:44.839
let you take me, I'll kill
her. You understand what's in entirely up

230
00:23:45.000 --> 00:23:56.680
to you? Bestle greedy FoST you
fired by Boe at base, then empty

231
00:23:56.880 --> 00:24:07.240
gone and I see ended, mister
Grady, Now right, fondes, come

232
00:24:07.279 --> 00:24:11.720
on, Maria, back and side
quickly. Well I'm out a cartridge.

233
00:24:11.759 --> 00:24:15.559
Just what we can do now is
run, run as far and as long

234
00:24:15.640 --> 00:24:21.079
as we can. And didn't would
Berry? Will you killed me as you

235
00:24:21.160 --> 00:24:25.559
told him you would? You know
better. I thought the threat would hold

236
00:24:25.640 --> 00:24:30.480
him off, but it didn't.
Heard him. I heard him. It

237
00:24:30.640 --> 00:24:37.200
is not a surprise Berry. My
father has hated me for us. I

238
00:24:37.319 --> 00:24:42.599
did not come in handy. Let
you hope. Where are you mister already?

239
00:24:44.759 --> 00:24:51.000
Are you scared? Now? Running
Maria, keep moving as quiet as

240
00:24:51.039 --> 00:24:55.960
possible. Well, maybe you need
something to help your own. Mister Grady.

241
00:24:56.839 --> 00:25:00.759
He's got a machine pistol. Hurry
that goes so quick, And tell

242
00:25:00.920 --> 00:25:08.440
you're afraid on mister lady, you're
not afraid that they're the plantation. This

243
00:25:08.839 --> 00:25:18.119
little ball is you pull up?
It's no you, Barry, It's no

244
00:25:18.279 --> 00:25:22.000
you, Maria, Maria Waite.
There's a ledge right above us here.

245
00:25:22.039 --> 00:25:26.279
I can feel it when I reach
up broken boulders. Now there's a chance.

246
00:25:26.960 --> 00:25:30.240
Now listen to me, Maria.
You'll go on alone, make a

247
00:25:30.319 --> 00:25:33.160
noise, talk so that you'll think
that we're still together. You understand.

248
00:25:33.920 --> 00:25:38.279
I'm going to wait for him here, right up on that ledge, all

249
00:25:38.319 --> 00:25:44.759
right, Not go on, go
on, little will be careful, be

250
00:25:45.160 --> 00:25:52.279
very careful. I scrambled up on
the ledge and got set and I felt

251
00:25:52.319 --> 00:25:57.920
around in the dark and found a
rock as big as a man's head.

252
00:26:00.039 --> 00:26:06.279
And then I waited. You're tiring
yourself for nothing, mister O'Grady. There's

253
00:26:06.319 --> 00:26:11.960
only one way out, you know. I raised the rock and waited.

254
00:26:11.799 --> 00:26:19.200
He was close, now very close. I listened to his steps, trying

255
00:26:19.240 --> 00:26:25.279
to judge his position. But the
sound. You'll not be very friendly,

256
00:26:25.440 --> 00:26:32.480
mister O'Grady, and I feel very
warm for you. He was right below

257
00:26:32.559 --> 00:26:44.440
me. I raised the rock and
smashed it down on his head. It's

258
00:26:44.519 --> 00:27:04.279
all right, Maria, it's all
over, Maria. Two weeks on that

259
00:27:04.400 --> 00:27:07.240
stinking jail, and now you dragged
me out and bring me down here to

260
00:27:07.319 --> 00:27:11.240
the harbor wine Captain West and you're
all right. So you're won the revolution.

261
00:27:11.359 --> 00:27:14.599
Now you're the new government. All
right, fine, I got nothing

262
00:27:14.640 --> 00:27:18.119
against you. I fight with ale
Cron was personal. You know that rights,

263
00:27:18.160 --> 00:27:22.640
and you're a greedy I know that
I have. Ale Cron was one

264
00:27:22.680 --> 00:27:26.920
of our leaders. You killed him. The usual sentence is dead by a

265
00:27:26.960 --> 00:27:29.599
firing squad. I know that.
Captain. He said, we are permitting

266
00:27:29.640 --> 00:27:33.200
you to leave the country. Launch
is waiting to take you out to the

267
00:27:33.279 --> 00:27:37.240
ship. You should consider yourself very
fortunate. And you're a greedy captain.

268
00:27:37.920 --> 00:27:48.279
Look there there was a girl,
Maria Alekron's dactor. Where is Maria?

269
00:27:49.279 --> 00:27:56.119
I believe you're speaking of my wife's
and you're your wife. You are escaping

270
00:27:56.200 --> 00:28:00.559
at Death Center centur But I must
warn you that if you ever returned to

271
00:28:00.640 --> 00:28:07.799
the Republic, that sentence will be
carried off. Your wife, Marie and

272
00:28:07.920 --> 00:28:12.680
I were married yesterday at the Church
of sant Isabel. As a wedding gift

273
00:28:12.759 --> 00:28:19.759
to Maria, I gave her your
life your ship's wedding, Senora Gredy,

274
00:28:21.799 --> 00:28:41.000

279
00:29:03.799 --> 00:29:10.240
you a little bit of of the
fright that right makes you show up at

280
00:29:10.319 --> 00:29:14.359
night? Well, my dear,
I'm glad you enjoyed it. I did

281
00:29:14.440 --> 00:29:18.319
too, and hadn't heard that one
in a long time, A very long

282
00:29:18.440 --> 00:29:29.079
time, such a long time.
Anyway, anyway, I'm glad to see

283
00:29:29.079 --> 00:29:30.240
you're enjoying your tea. Yes,
it's good and hot. Well, it

284
00:29:30.319 --> 00:29:36.160
gets cold in here, you know, with these big stone walls. What's

285
00:29:36.200 --> 00:29:37.079
that? Oh no, no,
no, no, no, you don't

286
00:29:37.079 --> 00:29:41.279
need to worry yourself about that,
not at all. They can't get in

287
00:29:41.160 --> 00:29:47.839
No, no, no, these
walls and two feet thick. Nothing gets

288
00:29:47.920 --> 00:29:55.039
in here or gets out gets out
for that matter. But now let's gold

289
00:29:55.519 --> 00:30:00.200
down a darker path, if you
will, Ah, yes, something a

290
00:30:00.240 --> 00:30:07.319
little darker, something about about execution, If you will, I will,

291
00:30:07.680 --> 00:30:12.559
and I suddenly have all right,
I've gotten the dust off this month.

292
00:30:14.000 --> 00:30:30.200
Let's listen, Let's listen. Ironize
Yeast Presents lights out everybody. It is

this story is based on cruel,
grim reality. So tonight we urge you

00:31:00.119 --> 00:31:03.680

did before. Her Himmler, I'm hitlam

299
00:31:23.559 --> 00:31:26.759
fear, I have the report.
Now look here, he hit. Let's

300
00:31:26.759 --> 00:31:30.640
no use getting so ready in the
face. That won't help anything. What's

301
00:31:30.680 --> 00:31:33.240
happened happened in As long as we
know why it happened, I'll see to

302
00:31:33.319 --> 00:31:37.319
it won't happen again. So nothing
is lost and something is gained. I'm

303
00:31:37.359 --> 00:31:40.839
here, I have the report here, so arrive by courier only five minutes

304
00:31:40.880 --> 00:31:42.599
ago. I rushed it right up, didn't even stop to read it myself.

305
00:31:44.759 --> 00:31:49.240
So I would read official report and
renoir incident that's made by Captain Hunts

306
00:31:49.279 --> 00:31:55.079
Mautli to Major Henri Contropots, Commanding
Officers, third Division, Army of Occupation

307
00:31:55.119 --> 00:31:59.079
at headquarters party is High Hitler,
High Hunt's Mouthley, Captain, member of

308
00:31:59.160 --> 00:32:02.359
Elite Guard, signed the third Division
Army Occupation. Being in my right mind

309
00:32:02.440 --> 00:32:07.359
and in full realization of the consequences, to me make the following statement.

310
00:32:07.039 --> 00:32:10.839
On the day of eightelve seven,
at two o'clock in the morning, Sergeant

311
00:32:10.920 --> 00:32:15.119
Carl Fisher, while unpatrolled duty in
the town of Renoirs, were shot at

312
00:32:15.160 --> 00:32:21.559
by unidentified women and slightly wounded in
the left sigh. In accordance with all

313
00:32:21.640 --> 00:32:24.880
the radio from Paris Headquarters, I
at once placed the entire population of Renoirs

314
00:32:24.920 --> 00:32:30.039
under arrest, and, in accordance
with further orders received, collected fifty female

315
00:32:30.119 --> 00:32:32.839
hostages to be hanged in the village
square unless the criminal who had shot Sergeant

316
00:32:32.880 --> 00:32:37.440
Fishel was turned over to me.
At once these French women were placed in

317
00:32:37.519 --> 00:32:40.680
the basement of the town hall,
and precisely at sundown, having assembled the

318
00:32:40.720 --> 00:32:45.000
populace and the public square, I
mounted the scaffold platform which had been erected

319
00:32:45.079 --> 00:32:52.279
there, and spoke to this village
of criminals. Attention, attention, I

320
00:32:52.400 --> 00:32:57.759
warn you no the stevances, or
I will give the order to fire at

321
00:32:57.759 --> 00:33:06.279
the last track. Who among you
has guilty this crime. Speak so very

322
00:33:06.319 --> 00:33:09.440
well. Next time every man and
woman in this town will be deported for

323
00:33:09.559 --> 00:33:15.240
hard labor and the rash. This
time we will proceed with the executions.

324
00:33:15.640 --> 00:33:27.440
Silence, sergeant the first prisoner.
At this point in my report, may

325
00:33:27.440 --> 00:33:30.160
I explained that the fifty women to
be executed had been picked at random by

326
00:33:30.200 --> 00:33:35.480
squads sent through the town a few
hours before. I personally knew none of

327
00:33:35.559 --> 00:33:38.079
them, but I personally counted them
as they entered the place of imprisonment,

328
00:33:38.319 --> 00:33:46.440
and I personally posted the guard that
I know the first prisoner, bind her

329
00:33:46.480 --> 00:33:53.079
hands up to the platform. Those
around her, egg, oh, frighten

330
00:33:53.160 --> 00:34:00.400
the rope based on the trap door, son, will live head, let

331
00:34:00.480 --> 00:34:07.039
your head look at me. At
this point in the report, may I

332
00:34:07.119 --> 00:34:13.920
described the prisoner sex, female,
age indeterminate, clothes indeterminate. She lifted

333
00:34:13.960 --> 00:34:20.159
her face as authors. Then a
strange thing happened. She smiled, Yes,

334
00:34:20.679 --> 00:34:28.880
smile, you smile. Why do
you smile? Very well? The

335
00:34:28.920 --> 00:34:36.320
trap door hang hush her, captain
er, her neck is broken. Do

336
00:34:36.480 --> 00:34:39.400
not cut her down yet, people
of the tonnel renoir, The first of

337
00:34:39.440 --> 00:34:44.039
your women hangs here. The first
evidence that to harm a soldier of the

338
00:34:44.079 --> 00:34:49.159
Holy race means death, certain death. Remove the body, bring out the

339
00:34:49.199 --> 00:34:55.400
next prisoner. At this point in
my report, may I explain my plan

340
00:34:55.960 --> 00:35:00.199
to hang was not enough. No, these friends and their women and their

341
00:35:00.320 --> 00:35:05.239
children must learn their lesson in a
way they would never forget. One by

342
00:35:05.320 --> 00:35:07.079
one, the women would be brought
out, one by one. They would

343
00:35:07.079 --> 00:35:10.119
stand on the platform, one by
one, the rope around the neck,

344
00:35:10.360 --> 00:35:15.679
the trap door, the body twisting
and turning in death, coming through that

345
00:35:15.840 --> 00:35:20.960
door, climbing them to the scaffold
and dying, fifty of them. It

346
00:35:21.079 --> 00:35:24.480
would take ours and these frenchmen,
and these French women and their children would

347
00:35:24.519 --> 00:35:36.039
never forget this lesson. Bring I
hear over the trap door, rope around

348
00:35:36.039 --> 00:35:38.760
the neck. No, no,
do not bind this one. It is

349
00:35:38.800 --> 00:35:42.119
better that they out there see hard
answer at the end of the rope.

350
00:35:42.199 --> 00:35:45.519
The other died too quickly. Renny, Yes, captain, the priminer will

351
00:35:45.519 --> 00:35:52.760
lift her face. Lift your face, your face. You are related to

352
00:35:52.840 --> 00:36:00.480
the one who just died. Answer
me very well, people, renoir,

353
00:36:00.199 --> 00:36:02.679
you see before you the second of
you who is to die with a crime

354
00:36:02.719 --> 00:36:07.199
against the Reich. This one I
can see is related to the first.

355
00:36:07.639 --> 00:36:10.920
It's just that perhaps it will not
save her the crime must be avenged.

356
00:36:13.400 --> 00:36:22.719
You laugh, Hey her her captain. Her neck is broken broken, So

357
00:36:22.920 --> 00:36:25.719
smaller woman, Why should sergeant they
drop too far? Shorten the rope.

358
00:36:25.800 --> 00:36:34.119
Let them struggle before they die.
The next prisoner. At this point in

359
00:36:34.199 --> 00:36:37.920
my report me I state that all
day it had been threatening rain. In

360
00:36:37.039 --> 00:36:40.679
spite of that fact, I had
not felt it good psychology to postpone the

361
00:36:40.800 --> 00:36:45.159
executions. At this point, the
time was four thirty and the sky was

362
00:36:45.199 --> 00:36:51.199
getting quite dark, but I was
determined to complete the executions. By the

363
00:36:51.239 --> 00:36:59.440
time the next woman stood on the
scaffold, it was very dark. People

364
00:36:59.480 --> 00:37:02.159
of renoirs the same criminals to die
for the crime against the race. The

365
00:37:02.280 --> 00:37:09.519
crime must be event. You are
too fine, You're going to die while

366
00:37:09.559 --> 00:37:22.519
you last, you will know hang
her. At this point in my report

367
00:37:22.559 --> 00:37:25.880
I will state that this woman did
not die easily. I could tell that

368
00:37:27.119 --> 00:37:30.599
from the faces of the people and
the animal cries that came to their lips

369
00:37:30.639 --> 00:37:34.039
as they watched this woman of theirs
flinging about at the end of the rope.

370
00:37:34.599 --> 00:37:40.639
I was quite pleased. Violence,
violence, people of Renois. She

371
00:37:40.719 --> 00:37:44.960
thought you would not die. You
see she is dead. There is no

372
00:37:45.159 --> 00:37:50.239
escape from the vengeance of the race. Bring up the next one. Stop

373
00:37:50.360 --> 00:37:53.760
that from yes, people of Renois, there is no escape from the power

374
00:37:53.840 --> 00:37:58.239
of the fair rice the day,
over all Europe, tomorrow, over all

375
00:37:58.280 --> 00:38:01.199
the world. What power is that
of us? All right? Bring the

376
00:38:01.239 --> 00:38:09.079
prisoner up here quickly. At this
point in my report, may I say

377
00:38:09.079 --> 00:38:14.800
it was darker than before the clouds. There was a feeling of an electrical

378
00:38:14.920 --> 00:38:22.159
storm in the air. Hurry up, high up, sergeants on the floodlights

379
00:38:22.719 --> 00:38:24.760
a norm, move, shoot down
anyone who tries to leave the square.

380
00:38:25.800 --> 00:38:29.519
Do not think the storm will make
any difference. Here you are, and

381
00:38:29.599 --> 00:38:31.039
here all of you will stay.
And so the last one of your criminals

382
00:38:31.159 --> 00:38:35.760
is hanged. Oh all right,
soldier, do not stand there the news

383
00:38:35.800 --> 00:38:38.360
put it around her neck? Soldier? Are you out of your mind?

384
00:38:38.440 --> 00:38:40.840
Why did? Why do you stand
there? What it is? Look at

385
00:38:40.880 --> 00:38:52.559
her? Look at her? At
this point in my report, I wish

386
00:38:52.599 --> 00:38:57.000
to state that I am not sure
if I am in my right mind completely

387
00:38:57.119 --> 00:39:01.519
now, But at the time I
am speaking of I knew exactly what I

388
00:39:01.719 --> 00:39:07.239
was hearing. And see, Captain, look at her, I tell you,

389
00:39:07.320 --> 00:39:13.239
look at her, you I sergeant, sergeants, Yes, captain,

390
00:39:13.360 --> 00:39:15.679
our bodies are they down there?
Yes, captain, how many count to

391
00:39:15.760 --> 00:39:22.079
me? How many? Three?
Three? Three? So you woman,

392
00:39:22.880 --> 00:39:27.760
you think you will make jokes with
me? Sure you are of the same

393
00:39:27.880 --> 00:39:39.159
family. Yes, that is it. You are have been sink At this

394
00:39:39.320 --> 00:39:44.039
point in my report, I will
state only that I immediately ordered the next

395
00:39:44.079 --> 00:39:51.280
prisoner up to the scaffold person,
Captain, this one the same crazy pool?

396
00:39:51.320 --> 00:39:54.719
How can that be? Yeah?
The sets light? Yeah, no,

397
00:39:55.679 --> 00:40:05.119
you can let me, sergeants.
How many now the truth? Tell

398
00:40:05.119 --> 00:40:08.280
me the truth? Four? Four? Captain, the truth? I order

399
00:40:08.360 --> 00:40:13.320
you. Four bodies, I swear
at Captain, from their faces? Look

400
00:40:13.360 --> 00:40:19.760
at their faces? Put me they're
faces. All's the shame, captain,

401
00:40:20.599 --> 00:40:31.480
the shame. Ladies and gentlemen.
Let's take a moment now to look around

402
00:40:31.599 --> 00:40:37.039
who we assure ourselves that we are
where we are in the free America today,

403
00:40:37.159 --> 00:40:38.880
where thousands of people are able to
say, man, oh man,

404
00:40:38.960 --> 00:40:43.159
am I going good? Making more
money than I ever did? Sure,

405
00:40:43.280 --> 00:40:45.320
taxes are tough, and I'm putting
my ten percent in war bonds, but

406
00:40:45.440 --> 00:40:49.159
even so, I've got plenty left
to spend for fun, to spend for

407
00:40:49.239 --> 00:40:52.519
fun? Do you think our fighting
men in Africa are having fun? Was

408
00:40:52.599 --> 00:40:57.280
it fun for our boys at Waddle
Canal fighting off the Japs from foxholes,

409
00:40:57.679 --> 00:41:00.480
being shot down in flames over Berlin. Is that fun? I know?

410
00:41:00.679 --> 00:41:02.280
But like I said, I'm putting
my ten percent in war bonds. This

411
00:41:02.480 --> 00:41:07.599
is no ten percent war, my
friends. Our servicemen are fighting at one

412
00:41:07.719 --> 00:41:12.079
hundred percent. And that's exactly why
the news from Africa is good, why

413
00:41:12.119 --> 00:41:15.679
we want at Guadalcanal by we're moving
towards the offensive on other fronts. You

414
00:41:15.880 --> 00:41:20.800
want more American victories, You want
our men to march into Berlin at the

415
00:41:20.880 --> 00:41:23.559
earliest possible moment, Yes, of
course, and back them up as they

416
00:41:23.599 --> 00:41:29.480
are fighting for us one hundred percent. Put that money you've got for fun

417
00:41:29.960 --> 00:41:34.639
into more war bonds. War is
expensive, and if we hold back here

418
00:41:34.719 --> 00:41:39.239
on the home front, we'll needlessly
prolong the war, thus throwing away thousands

419
00:41:39.599 --> 00:41:45.920
of American lives. Our dollars for
fun more precious than the lives of American

420
00:41:45.039 --> 00:41:51.239
fighting men. Of your fighting men, you know they're not. And remember,

421
00:41:51.320 --> 00:41:55.039
friends, the quicker the victory,
the fewer lives lost. And if

422
00:41:55.079 --> 00:42:00.480
we want victories sooner, every American
of us must be more. So.

423
00:42:00.679 --> 00:42:05.480
Go to your nearest bank or post
office wherever war bonds are sold in your

424
00:42:05.559 --> 00:42:09.480
town, and for every sense you
don't really need in the bonds. Do

425
00:42:09.639 --> 00:42:14.440
it for your own sake, and
for the sake of our fighting men.

426
00:42:15.840 --> 00:42:34.320
They give their lives, we must
lend our money. At this point in

427
00:42:34.400 --> 00:42:37.920
my report, I say only that
it began to rain, a terrible rain,

428
00:42:39.000 --> 00:42:44.320
and we stood there in the rain, the people all around the scaffold.

429
00:42:44.960 --> 00:42:49.400
I saw it us and on the
platform, the hangman and I and

430
00:42:49.559 --> 00:43:01.800
the woman, all the same.
You hang for vengeance, don't you,

431
00:43:01.960 --> 00:43:07.760
Nazi? One German soldier shot at
by a frenchwoman who had the pleasured right

432
00:43:07.840 --> 00:43:16.039
to kill him, and you think
you will have the vengeance with fifty laugh.

433
00:43:17.039 --> 00:43:21.400
It's always the same. Shall I
tell you about vengeance? Captain?

434
00:43:22.239 --> 00:43:24.840
You Germans think you know all about
it, But let me tell you of

435
00:43:24.920 --> 00:43:36.719
the real vench At this point in
my report, I will tell you of

436
00:43:36.800 --> 00:43:40.880
my thoughts these women. Same was
not possible. I left the scaffold and

437
00:43:40.920 --> 00:43:45.719
bent below to where the bodies lay
my flashlight. I looked broken next the

438
00:43:45.840 --> 00:43:51.440
faces quite the same. Shut off
the light. I climbed back to the

439
00:43:51.480 --> 00:43:57.519
scaffolds. I was not disturbed,
because now I understood the families of these

440
00:43:57.599 --> 00:44:02.079
French were large, and all these
were sisters. Five sisters, yes,

441
00:44:02.400 --> 00:44:07.360
trying to frighten me. Well,
that's presented with their broken necks. I

442
00:44:07.639 --> 00:44:14.719
ordered up the next woman for her
execution. People of Renoir, there will

443
00:44:14.760 --> 00:44:17.239
be no further demonstrations of any sort. You will stand there in the reign

444
00:44:17.320 --> 00:44:22.760
until all your women criminals are dead. Five sisters have died, and I

445
00:44:22.840 --> 00:44:27.599
am certain that is the end of
that family who had this frightened one with

446
00:44:27.679 --> 00:44:30.760
our hands and one of her face. All right, keep them there,

447
00:44:30.679 --> 00:44:39.320
Coper, get the new noose around
her neck. Hangot quickly face another one.

448
00:44:40.159 --> 00:44:44.599
Are you French? Such families worthy
of the Germans? But we have

449
00:44:44.719 --> 00:44:47.480
men you give better, useless women, fixed women, and all of them

450
00:44:47.559 --> 00:44:54.280
want to be hand Shall I tell
you about vengeance? Nazi who Germans think

451
00:44:54.360 --> 00:44:59.159
you know all about it? But
let me tell you of the real vengeance.

452
00:44:59.320 --> 00:45:04.400
Captain the other one said those words
at your mouse? No woman,

453
00:45:05.400 --> 00:45:09.199
how do you know the words?
Your sister said? I said them hawk?

454
00:45:09.239 --> 00:45:14.480
Would you you think you know about
vengeance? You Germans? Well you

455
00:45:14.599 --> 00:45:17.639
don't. Vengeance too has to be
based on truth. And what is your

456
00:45:17.760 --> 00:45:22.159
vengeance? You began a war?
Once and lost it. To whom did

457
00:45:22.199 --> 00:45:27.079
you lose it? To these little
people, to their little rabbi whose back

458
00:45:27.119 --> 00:45:31.039
you broke in a concentration camp,
to the little child who suffocated under her

459
00:45:31.079 --> 00:45:42.440
mother's body in Poland mary her.
At this point in my report I state

460
00:45:42.519 --> 00:45:45.960
only that I made sure this one
hanged until she was dead, and then

461
00:45:46.000 --> 00:45:50.920
I waited a little while before I
ordered the next one out. The rain

462
00:45:51.039 --> 00:45:54.679
was very heavy. All the people
stood there on the sprayer below the scaffold

463
00:45:55.360 --> 00:45:59.920
heads bowed to the rain, and
in the light of the search flights,

464
00:46:00.320 --> 00:46:06.800
they and the soldiers guarding them were
like living dead, standing there and very

465
00:46:07.159 --> 00:46:12.000
Captain, this one, she's the
same one. I bring her up here?

466
00:46:12.119 --> 00:46:15.880
No, you hand her. She's
not dead. Not here? Who

467
00:46:15.000 --> 00:46:19.320
is she? Gone? Through your
lives? Right? You're up here.

468
00:46:19.559 --> 00:46:22.400
She's not the things she can't be
the same one. Turn the sash like

469
00:46:22.519 --> 00:46:25.920
one, the same one. Then
there you are. Then open the byre,

470
00:46:25.960 --> 00:46:30.079
shoot them down charger couple where you're
running and soldiers do not run.

471
00:46:30.280 --> 00:46:36.000
You want the lights? Why did
you turn on the sunlights? Turn them

472
00:46:36.000 --> 00:46:45.239
on? I want you to turn
them on. My soldiers gone? Are

473
00:46:45.320 --> 00:46:51.840
you frightening? Captain? Put the
rope around my neck. You're not say

474
00:46:52.320 --> 00:46:58.880
I saw you hang put the noose
around my neck. The body's I can

475
00:46:58.920 --> 00:47:04.719
see the far hey me. Oh, you want your vengeance fifty times?

476
00:47:04.760 --> 00:47:12.000
The rope must stretch fifty bodies piled
like cordwoods, and you call that vengeance.

477
00:47:13.199 --> 00:47:17.239
Shall I tell you of vengeance?
Na say? The vengeance of the

478
00:47:17.320 --> 00:47:22.480
people of the murdered republics. What
was their crime? They wanted freedom from

479
00:47:22.559 --> 00:47:28.320
poverty, and your battleships stood off
their shores, and your airplanes filled their

480
00:47:28.519 --> 00:47:35.599
skies and gave them blood to drink
their own. The vengeance of the people

481
00:47:35.639 --> 00:47:38.760
of Poland. What was their crime? They wanted to live, just to

482
00:47:38.880 --> 00:47:43.320
live, So the treads of your
tanks ground them into the dirt, and

483
00:47:43.400 --> 00:47:47.400
then your bombs lifted them out of
the dirt. The vengeance of the people

484
00:47:47.440 --> 00:47:51.400
of Belgium, whose crime was that
they were weary of a battle. They

485
00:47:51.440 --> 00:47:55.320
did not quite understand because you had
given them confusion, and so you stripped

486
00:47:55.320 --> 00:48:00.079
them of human dignity and made them
slaves to live on bloody knees before the

487
00:48:00.159 --> 00:48:06.559
masters of your right. The vengeance
of Holland, or that will be a

488
00:48:06.679 --> 00:48:10.320
horrible vengeance Nazi, for their crime
was the crime of being men, of

489
00:48:10.440 --> 00:48:14.800
standing up and saying, this is
our land and this is our freedom.

490
00:48:15.119 --> 00:48:19.960
Dare take them? Promise? So
you swept over them, and when they

491
00:48:20.000 --> 00:48:22.440
could no longer fight, you took
your vengeance by the murder of forty thousand

492
00:48:22.559 --> 00:48:28.840
of them, and the vengeance of
Great Britain. Well, that will be

493
00:48:28.960 --> 00:48:32.960
a terrible vengeance, Nazi. It
will be a vengeance that will not I

494
00:48:34.119 --> 00:48:45.519
will hang you rope around your neck, ah Falk. At this point in

495
00:48:45.599 --> 00:48:49.119
my report, I swear by the
grave of my mother, I tell the

496
00:48:49.239 --> 00:48:53.000
truth. I hang this woman with
my own hands. I made sure that

497
00:48:53.119 --> 00:48:58.079
she was dead, and then I
reached down and cut the rope. I

498
00:48:58.239 --> 00:49:01.719
heard the body fall below in the
dark. But when I got up off

499
00:49:01.800 --> 00:49:07.519
my knees and stood up on the
scaffold the king, another woman was there,

500
00:49:07.679 --> 00:49:15.960
and it was she. The vengeance
of Norway theirs too was the crime

501
00:49:16.039 --> 00:49:20.840
of free men content to live on
their own land, and you put a

502
00:49:20.920 --> 00:49:25.719
swastika over their crosses and murdered their
sons and starved their children. And the

503
00:49:25.840 --> 00:49:31.360
vengeance of the Balkans. So many
vengeances, Nazi, did you ever think

504
00:49:31.400 --> 00:49:36.639
of them? You with your little
vengeance is against the helpless, the women,

505
00:49:36.719 --> 00:49:39.679
the children. Did you ever think
of this moving mountain of great vengeance

506
00:49:39.760 --> 00:49:47.199
that is sweeping towards you? The
vengeance of the Russians, whose crime was

507
00:49:47.280 --> 00:49:51.719
that they wanted their own freedom,
their own way, and who saw the

508
00:49:51.800 --> 00:49:55.639
hard work of twenty years ground under
your Poncus and Eustucas, oh Nazi,

509
00:49:55.800 --> 00:50:07.559
theirs will be a terrible vengeance,
theirs will be. And then there was

510
00:50:07.599 --> 00:50:15.239
another one, another, but the
same, and the vengeance of the Americans,

511
00:50:16.320 --> 00:50:21.480
their crime that they were strong,
and they didn't like you when they

512
00:50:21.639 --> 00:50:24.800
laughed at you, and then their
laughter turned to anger, and you were

513
00:50:24.880 --> 00:50:29.400
afraid of their anger, so you
lifted another one's hand and gave them the

514
00:50:29.559 --> 00:50:34.079
treachery of a knife thrust in the
back, and you drowned their men in

515
00:50:34.159 --> 00:50:45.719
the seas. And you I can
report only what I saw. A chap

516
00:50:45.760 --> 00:50:51.400
door fell, She too was gone. The rope twisting and turning, and

517
00:50:51.559 --> 00:50:58.039
I was alone on the scaffold alone. I was alone. Here's the rope

518
00:50:58.079 --> 00:51:04.320
twisting and turning, and I was
alone. And then who shall I spare

519
00:51:04.400 --> 00:51:08.519
this one? What do I believe
in to spare this one? I heard

520
00:51:08.639 --> 00:51:14.159
footsteps coming up the steps to the
scaffold, and I ran to the edge

521
00:51:14.480 --> 00:51:17.119
and I looked. The lightning flashes
were quick, one after the other,

522
00:51:17.920 --> 00:51:22.480
and by them I saw that I
had hanged eight, and there were forty

523
00:51:22.519 --> 00:51:25.880
two left. And now they were
coming up the stairs, these forty two,

524
00:51:27.840 --> 00:51:30.840
one after the other, one after
the other, in a line that

525
00:51:31.000 --> 00:51:46.519
reached back across the square, coming
to me, Who are you? What

526
00:51:46.679 --> 00:51:57.280
do you want? I report this? They came on the platform, one

527
00:51:57.320 --> 00:52:00.880
after the other after the other.
Scaffold moved under the weight of them,

528
00:52:01.840 --> 00:52:14.280
and then the lightning came again,
by four, all of them. Poland,

529
00:52:15.039 --> 00:52:22.320
Belgian, Harland, Norway, Greece, Yugoslavia, Russia, Britain,

530
00:52:22.760 --> 00:52:27.199
America. I tell you, Nazy, no matter what the clever ones try

531
00:52:27.280 --> 00:52:30.840
to do with the peace tables,
the people will not forget their vengeance.

532
00:52:31.519 --> 00:52:35.840
They will not forget their dead children, and their dead wives, and their

533
00:52:35.880 --> 00:52:38.079
dead sons, and their dead mothers, and their dead sisters, and their

534
00:52:38.119 --> 00:52:44.800
dead lovers, and their dead hopes
and their dead wasted years. They will

535
00:52:44.840 --> 00:52:49.039
not stop at the borders of your
Germany. This time. They will march

536
00:52:49.119 --> 00:52:53.239
into it, into your Germany.
The people and their vengeance will be on

537
00:52:53.400 --> 00:52:59.000
every one of you who traded the
cross border swastika, and the great God

538
00:52:59.079 --> 00:53:02.800
of humanity were the little men who
thought he was God. Who are you?

539
00:53:10.159 --> 00:53:14.800
I report only this one last thing. As I asked the words,

540
00:53:14.920 --> 00:53:19.880
who are you, suddenly it was
no longer all these women speaking with one

541
00:53:20.000 --> 00:53:24.039
mouth. But in the rain and
the lightning, I saw them moving together,

542
00:53:24.800 --> 00:53:30.719
and all of them began to become
one woman, a terrible thing that

543
00:53:30.960 --> 00:53:36.480
grew and grew into the air.
I lifted my face to see the lightning

544
00:53:36.599 --> 00:53:40.039
crashed about the top of her,
and it was still that woman, towering

545
00:53:40.320 --> 00:53:46.000
higher and higher into the air.
And when she spoke, her voice was

546
00:53:46.119 --> 00:53:57.079
a thunder. Listen to when their
vengeance come a little man. For his

547
00:53:57.239 --> 00:54:00.559
crimes are his crimes, and your
crimes are yours, and he must paid

548
00:54:00.599 --> 00:54:06.119
for his crimes. Who are you? For the good people of this world

549
00:54:06.239 --> 00:54:09.440
will not die this time in vain. This time the vengeance will be their

550
00:54:09.559 --> 00:54:21.760
vengeance, and the everlarming peace their
peace. Who are you? I report?

551
00:54:22.360 --> 00:54:27.280
I asked that, and suddenly I
was lifted in the air. There

552
00:54:27.400 --> 00:54:31.400
was thunder and lightning around me too, and up where I was, her

553
00:54:31.559 --> 00:54:42.159
voice was a whisper. I am
a frenchwoman who stayed away from my own

554
00:54:42.320 --> 00:54:49.360
land too long, so long that
some of my countrymen had forgotten that even

555
00:54:49.400 --> 00:54:55.719
the memory of me lives only where
men fight for me. Who are you?

556
00:55:05.679 --> 00:55:08.679
I closed my reports. This French
woman told me her name, and

557
00:55:08.840 --> 00:55:13.199
she told me a place. Through
the thunder crash, I had her.

558
00:55:14.199 --> 00:55:17.800
And then the lightning struck, and
I was falling through the air. And

559
00:55:17.920 --> 00:55:22.679
when I awoke it was morning,
and she was not there, and the

560
00:55:22.800 --> 00:55:29.039
scaffold was burnt to the ground,
and there were no bodies, and the

561
00:55:29.199 --> 00:55:37.239
village square was empty. This is
the end my report. Can you imagine,

562
00:55:37.280 --> 00:55:42.559
Sancho report, man fire a woman
who grows into the sky. Of

563
00:55:42.639 --> 00:55:46.000
course the man will be shot.
And wait a minute. Seems to be

564
00:55:46.079 --> 00:55:52.840
an addition so the report. It
says, note the frenchwoman said she could

565
00:55:52.920 --> 00:55:59.360
be found at latitude forty one degrees
north and at Lantaude seventy four gres west.

566
00:56:00.400 --> 00:56:06.679
Investigation indicates this is a place in
the Western Hemisphere known as Bedloe's Island.

567
00:56:07.480 --> 00:56:13.039
Further investigation indicates that there is only
one frenchwoman and this island. She

568
00:56:13.320 --> 00:56:25.239
is called the Statue of Philippets I
see which you mean, mister Roebler.

569
00:56:25.800 --> 00:56:30.480
The Nazis can kill people, but
they can never kill the spirit of victory.

570
00:56:30.159 --> 00:56:32.480
Yes, we've seen that proved over
and over again in this war.

571
00:56:34.159 --> 00:56:37.400
We know how men, women and
children in France and Holland and Norway and

572
00:56:37.440 --> 00:56:40.119
every other country that's coming to the
Nazi hill are fighting back in every way

573
00:56:40.159 --> 00:56:44.920
possible. But we know equally well
that the will the wind is not enough.

574
00:56:45.599 --> 00:56:49.840
They can't fight the Japs or the
Nazis with courage Alonge. The only

575
00:56:49.880 --> 00:56:52.719
way to fight these murderers effectively is
in the language of bombs and bullets.

576
00:56:53.599 --> 00:56:57.360
Are we on the home front,
who sleep in our comfortable beds and eat

577
00:56:57.400 --> 00:57:00.000
good meals and spidish shortages. We're
being asked only to send our money to

578
00:57:00.079 --> 00:57:05.000
back up those who are fighting for
our freedom. Ortho, Nazi isn't outside

579
00:57:05.039 --> 00:57:08.039
your door waiting to take you off
to a concentration camp because you pray to

580
00:57:08.119 --> 00:57:13.039
your God on Sunday, or if
a Jap isn't waiting with an executioner's sword

581
00:57:13.519 --> 00:57:16.119
staying with the blood of an American
aviator to cut off your head. It's

582
00:57:16.159 --> 00:57:20.800
only because all over the world men
and women have courage are fighting your battle.

583
00:57:21.559 --> 00:57:22.960
So the next time you take out
a dollar and think, oh,

584
00:57:23.079 --> 00:57:27.559
what can I buy? Now,
think again, is there anything I want

585
00:57:27.679 --> 00:57:31.280
more than I want a world of
peace and justice and security of loved ones

586
00:57:31.320 --> 00:57:36.159
back home again? And then do
what your heart and mind tell you must

587
00:57:36.199 --> 00:57:39.079
do. Put every dollar and dime
you don't need for actual necessities into this

588
00:57:39.199 --> 00:57:45.199
fight by putting them into war bonds
and stamps. This may be our last

589
00:57:45.320 --> 00:57:50.199
chance to buy the right to live
as freemen. Thank you, mister Orobler.

590
00:57:51.199 --> 00:57:54.199
Friends, the makers of ironized Yeast
have been very happy to dedicate to

591
00:57:54.320 --> 00:58:04.679
Night's program to our government's second warl
own drive. Ah, nothing beats a

592
00:58:04.719 --> 00:58:09.400
good record. Get your mind off
of things, if you will. Oh,

593
00:58:09.519 --> 00:58:13.880
my dear, I appreciate you coming
here tonight. Tonight. What's that?

594
00:58:14.800 --> 00:58:19.599
When will I be back? I
can't say for sean, but I

595
00:58:19.800 --> 00:58:23.400
will be back. I guess you'll
just have to keep keep moving along that

596
00:58:23.639 --> 00:58:30.880
radio down, hoping you find me
again again. But now I think you

597
00:58:30.960 --> 00:58:37.519
better get home to your warm bed
and no that you are so fortunate fortunate

598
00:58:37.800 --> 00:58:45.599
to have what you do. Pray
