Unknown Broadcast | Walking Corpses, Midnight Murders, and Other Chilling Horror Stories

Unknown Broadcast | Walking Corpses, Midnight Murders, and Other Chilling Horror Stories

My dear, there are nights when the air feels heavier… when the darkness clings to you like damp earth. On such nights, the dead may walk, killers may strike unseen, and strange lights may beckon you to your doom.

This evening, we have five stories steeped in shadow and dread:where corpses refuse to rest, reptiles hiss in the dark, and midnight becomes the hour when all debts are paid.

🪦 The Walking Corpse
Some graves are sealed with more than dirt. When the dead man’s shadow stretches further than it should… you may already be too late.

🐍 Serenade for a Cobra
A melody can soothe—or it can strike. And this one has fangs.

🕛 Murder at Midnight
In the silence of the witching hour, even a whisper can kill.

🔥 Fire in the Sky
Strange lights. A heat you can feel in your bones. And the moment you realize it isn’t coming from this world.

💔 Can’t We Be Friends
Some friendships should never begin… and some endings are worse than death.

So stay close, my dear. The night is long, and the stories are waiting.

00:00:09.679 --> 00:00:16.359
Ah, welcome back, my dear. I must admit time as

2
00:00:16.440 --> 00:00:22.120
surprised as I am thrilled to see you. What's that? Well,

3
00:00:22.760 --> 00:00:27.640
perhaps I suppose I wasn't certain you would want to return,

4
00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:37.439
after all, spending a late night listening with creepy old me. Well,

5
00:00:38.560 --> 00:00:46.439
I'm very self aware, and well, I'm grateful that you

6
00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:50.960
want to spend your time with me. After all, you

7
00:00:51.119 --> 00:00:56.359
only get so much if you're lucky. While some days

8
00:00:56.399 --> 00:01:03.079
I do feel like I'm somewhat ironically lively, other days

9
00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:06.879
I'm simply the walking corpse.

10
00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:32.159
And come in. Welcome. I'm a g marshall. Welcome to

11
00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:36.799
the world of terrifying imagination. To the fear you can

12
00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:42.280
hear tonight, I hope you have strong stomachs. Who We're

13
00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:46.040
bound on a Caribbean cruise. Oh, we don't expect rough

14
00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:50.239
sailing on the way, So if you are easily seasick.

15
00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:51.560
Have no fears.

16
00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:55.079
Save them all for your landing on the twin island

17
00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:59.239
of Militia and sandor Wind, for it is the home

18
00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:04.879
of voodoo and the living dead, the soulless legions of

19
00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:15.039
men who are called zombies. Does eight compadres, there's the

20
00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:16.560
coffin we seek.

21
00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:20.159
Scrap away the earth so we can get the lead open.

22
00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:27.360
Soon we can steal another corpse for the witch doctor.

23
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:38.080
That's it, now, break open the lead. Swing it back

24
00:02:40.199 --> 00:02:46.319
by way now China. Lad must have been strong as

25
00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:50.840
an ox. He'll make a fine zombie brother for El

26
00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:58.280
Henry Alissimo's lead guard. Stab say your gun. Here is

27
00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:12.840
another carcass you're leaving lay. Our mystery drama, The Walking

28
00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:16.560
Corpse is written especially for the mystery theater by Ian

29
00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:21.080
Martin and stars Tony Roberts. It is sponsored in part

30
00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:25.240
by Anouser Busch Incorporated, brewers of Budweiser, and by the

31
00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:29.800
Kellogg Company, makers of Kellogg's Special K Cereal. I'll be

32
00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:31.639
back shortly with Act one.

33
00:03:32.039 --> 00:03:34.800
Great based in the Lord and Junes Kello.

34
00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:41.960
And this is Jerry Kaufer for Kellogg's Special K.

35
00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:44.400
We've been having some fun in our television and radio

36
00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:46.879
commercials by using a ball and chain to symbolize the

37
00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:49.360
slight overweight problem common to so many of us. We

38
00:03:49.479 --> 00:03:51.599
point out that being a few pounds overweight is just

39
00:03:51.639 --> 00:03:54.919
a little more difficult for you climbing stairs, just walking around,

40
00:03:55.199 --> 00:03:57.879
even sitting down can feel well like you're wearing a

41
00:03:57.879 --> 00:03:58.520
ball and chain.

42
00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:00.400
In case you missed the message, it's this.

43
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:02.439
If you really want to get rid of that extra weight,

44
00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:05.039
you really have to work at it by exercising and

45
00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:08.280
with sensible meals like the Special K breakfast. A one

46
00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:11.360
ounce bowl of Special K America's favorite high protein cereal,

47
00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:14.280
four ounces of skim milk, tomato, juice, and coffee, less

48
00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:17.879
than two hundred forty calories, nutritious and by the way, delicious.

49
00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:20.000
So why not begin each day with a Special K

50
00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:22.920
breakfast and then keep up the good work. Special K

51
00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:25.240
can't help you lose weight all by itself, but it

52
00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:28.839
really is a good start.

53
00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:31.680
Hey, ma'am, work's for dinner?

54
00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:34.079

To the rest. Hey, ma, what's for dinner?

71
00:05:19.720 --> 00:05:21.439
Shop right has the answer.

72
00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:36.600
The body of a dead person given the semblance of life,

73
00:05:37.519 --> 00:05:43.759
usually for some evil purpose. That is a zombie. The

74
00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:47.480
very name itself is calculated to make the flesh creep

75
00:05:47.720 --> 00:05:51.720
and the blood run chill. But on a plane headed

76
00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:55.160
for Miami, taking them to their honeymoon, nothing could be

77
00:05:55.240 --> 00:05:58.439
further from the thoughts of Steve Ramsey and his new

78
00:05:58.439 --> 00:05:59.680
wife pat.

79
00:06:01.399 --> 00:06:01.720
Oh.

80
00:06:01.759 --> 00:06:04.079
I can't believe I have you to myself for these.

81
00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:06.800
Few hours, Steve let alone of glorious two we.

82
00:06:07.439 --> 00:06:09.720
I don't know what the other associate professors go through,

83
00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:12.800
but my first two and a half years teaching parapsychology

84
00:06:12.839 --> 00:06:15.560
have laid me out. I can't wait for those hot

85
00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:17.160
sands and warm water.

86
00:06:17.959 --> 00:06:19.000
Can I save you a drink?

87
00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:19.120
So?

88
00:06:19.399 --> 00:06:21.360
Oh no, that's what I call perfect timing.

89
00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:24.839
Why not one more and I can fly solo to

90
00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:26.680
Miami without the play, Then.

91
00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:27.199
I'll join you.

92
00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:30.160
I can't have your orbiting alone, maggot.

93
00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:33.480
Bye, please, students, I'm sorry, sir, Just let me move

94
00:06:33.519 --> 00:06:33.839
the car.

95
00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:38.319
Oh, thank you, Chris, it is Christopher.

96
00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:41.759
He's all right, students. I'll join my friend here for

97
00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:44.959
a moment. Hey, Steve Man, good to see you here.

98
00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:46.000
Here here, I'll move over.

99
00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:49.279
Sit down, Chris, you look something else. It's great to

100
00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:52.000
run into you, only just for a moment there. I

101
00:06:52.040 --> 00:06:54.199
thought you were thinking of giving me the brush. You

102
00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:57.879
can never I'll explain a minute. Oh, bat, this is

103
00:06:57.959 --> 00:06:58.920
Christopher Leclair.

104
00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:01.040
I want to well. I want you to meet my

105
00:07:01.079 --> 00:07:01.920
brand new bride.

106
00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:04.439
This is a pleasure, missus Ramsey.

107
00:07:04.959 --> 00:07:09.120
Let me congratulate you on your impeccable tasty and both

108
00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:12.439
of you on your marriage. I'd like to buy some champagne,

109
00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:14.040
but you already have your.

110
00:07:14.519 --> 00:07:15.560
No more sampagne.

111
00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:15.959
Thank you.

112
00:07:16.279 --> 00:07:18.120
We've had enough in the last few weeks to flow

113
00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:18.720
to battles.

114
00:07:19.319 --> 00:07:21.600
At least let me get a drink for myself to

115
00:07:21.639 --> 00:07:22.560
talk to bride and groom.

116
00:07:24.480 --> 00:07:27.800
He's your old football buddy, right, yeah, greatest running back

117
00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:29.439
I ever saw, all around athlete.

118
00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:31.680
He could have made it big in the pros any sport.

119
00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:33.879
Isn't he a prince or something?

120
00:07:34.120 --> 00:07:37.240
And his father is the king of my wisher. I

121
00:07:37.279 --> 00:07:41.360
wonder what's bugging him? Oh this is better a toast

122
00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:44.720
from my country. To be a good man is first

123
00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:46.399
to have a good wife.

124
00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:47.199
I was Sonday.

125
00:07:47.720 --> 00:07:49.959
Thank you, Chris, and to yours yours too?

126
00:07:50.399 --> 00:07:55.600
Oh yes, drink to my good health. Please? What is it, Chris?

127
00:07:55.600 --> 00:07:56.399
You want to talk about it?

128
00:07:57.279 --> 00:07:59.680
I wish I still had you calling the place for me.

129
00:07:59.800 --> 00:08:03.639
But this is a different ballgame. You know, A boy

130
00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:09.040
my father? No what he's dead? Oh no?

131
00:08:10.399 --> 00:08:14.000
What can I say? Hang in there, man?

132
00:08:14.199 --> 00:08:16.160
Oh, I will be tough, all right?

133
00:08:17.079 --> 00:08:20.160
Was it recent the day before yesterday?

134
00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:22.399
I didn't see anything about it on the paper.

135
00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:24.120
It wasn't in the papers.

136
00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:28.079
He didn't die, he was assassinated.

137
00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:32.320
Any idea who did it?

138
00:08:32.720 --> 00:08:37.879
There is no proof, but I know ohhh, maybe not

139
00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:41.240
by his own hand, but at least on his orders.

140
00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:46.240
Hernandro thru Hedel, the generalissimo. But I thought he was

141
00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:50.960
your father's best friend and my godfather. His gift to

142
00:08:51.039 --> 00:08:54.159
me on my twenty first birthday, his own good luck charm.

143
00:08:55.200 --> 00:08:59.639
The bracelet of the Sacred serpent, the head, the voodoo

144
00:08:59.639 --> 00:09:05.440
symbol of life, the tale, the symbol of death. You see,

145
00:09:05.759 --> 00:09:09.759
they are woven together. But then why should he Because

146
00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:14.840
missus Ramsey, my father gave our people freedom, a freedom

147
00:09:14.919 --> 00:09:19.799
they send door Indian cannot share. Why not because if

148
00:09:19.840 --> 00:09:22.879
they had it, they would tear the man who rules

149
00:09:22.919 --> 00:09:26.639
them by terror to pieces. So he's planning to move

150
00:09:26.679 --> 00:09:29.240
in on my wishier and an axis the moment my

151
00:09:29.320 --> 00:09:32.960
father's assassination is revealed. They could it ow while the

152
00:09:32.960 --> 00:09:37.519
people are in confusion with no leadership. That's why I've

153
00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:40.759
given up any dream of becoming a doctor and them

154
00:09:40.840 --> 00:09:41.440
going home.

155
00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:44.639
The private plane will meet me in Miami to fly

156
00:09:44.759 --> 00:09:45.519
me to Moitia.

157
00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:49.600
To save time, I took this commercial flight under an

158
00:09:49.639 --> 00:09:50.320
assumed name.

159
00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:53.720
You think true, Heteromya. I was worn just in time.

160
00:09:54.639 --> 00:09:57.200
Less than an hour after I left my apartment, A

161
00:09:57.320 --> 00:09:58.279
bomb got it it.

162
00:09:59.279 --> 00:10:02.200
I'm a dangerous man to know these days.

163
00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:06.000
So before I do cause anything.

164
00:10:06.039 --> 00:10:08.480
Oh my god, see what is it?

165
00:10:08.559 --> 00:10:13.679
Two hundred machine guns? Looks like they are Where.

166
00:10:13.639 --> 00:10:14.480
Is a gentleman?

167
00:10:14.919 --> 00:10:17.600
My god, I am your attendon.

168
00:10:17.159 --> 00:10:20.120
Plays it's one Gucia tor hadoes hatchet man.

169
00:10:20.759 --> 00:10:21.519
What can we do?

170
00:10:22.039 --> 00:10:22.399
Nothing?

171
00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:24.840
It's every one wiet.

172
00:10:25.519 --> 00:10:28.919
If you don't, I say, no, one will be hurt.

173
00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:36.480
We are commandering this blight, quiet, fiet, there.

174
00:10:36.480 --> 00:10:37.600
Is nothing more here.

175
00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:37.919
You two.

176
00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:42.159
The plane will land at Miami and our path and

177
00:10:42.200 --> 00:10:42.759
yours will.

178
00:10:42.639 --> 00:10:47.960
Be discharged except for the flight crew and four hostages.

179
00:10:49.080 --> 00:10:53.600
I repeat, there is no cause or alarms. If all

180
00:10:53.639 --> 00:11:05.039
of you gave you a seat, and you'll be all stale.

181
00:11:05.080 --> 00:11:09.879
Everybody just follow orders and they want to go will

182
00:11:09.919 --> 00:11:16.559
be shot. Okay, all right, you three, oh, wind into

183
00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:17.159
first class.

184
00:11:19.559 --> 00:11:23.120
No wrong moves. My orders had to bring you.

185
00:11:23.519 --> 00:11:24.480
Dad or alive.

186
00:11:24.679 --> 00:11:26.000
I was only going to ask that.

187
00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:30.440
Your friends can identify you. We don't want that for

188
00:11:30.559 --> 00:11:33.840
a few days. They will only be killed as costage

189
00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:37.080
till we are ready. If they do what they are

190
00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:41.960
told them, they will be released on card. I'm join

191
00:11:42.039 --> 00:11:45.080
the other custage. As you were saying, waiting first class.

192
00:11:45.080 --> 00:11:47.799
Steve, I'm so sorry. It's not your fault.

193
00:11:48.679 --> 00:11:53.240
Okay, Patricia, ready, unwilling able, that's my gun.

194
00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:55.759
Let's go. Guys walk ahead of me.

195
00:11:56.120 --> 00:12:03.000
Nice sons, steady, Amen, Mysonagos tanker, roban, Oh, nobody, they

196
00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:04.320
most they'll like come back.

197
00:12:05.840 --> 00:12:09.679
Okay inside, that's it.

198
00:12:10.519 --> 00:12:12.039
We'll sit by k Kato.

199
00:12:12.759 --> 00:12:14.440
Don't let them molt they like come back.

200
00:12:14.559 --> 00:12:15.279
I'm sorry I.

201
00:12:15.320 --> 00:12:17.559
Got you into this we'll make out. Are you okay?

202
00:12:18.279 --> 00:12:19.840
A few butterflies in the stomach?

203
00:12:21.320 --> 00:12:23.840
What does he want to move in and sit down?

204
00:12:23.919 --> 00:12:26.720
I think better keep him happy. He's a surly character

205
00:12:26.799 --> 00:12:29.879
at best. Why don't we sit in these four together?

206
00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:31.919
Our friends a little deaf.

207
00:12:32.080 --> 00:12:34.320
If we keep far enough away, we can talk safely,

208
00:12:34.519 --> 00:12:36.000
if we keep our voices down.

209
00:12:36.279 --> 00:12:37.720
Why are you being held hostage?

210
00:12:37.879 --> 00:12:40.639
Any number of reasons. I'm a US government I know

211
00:12:40.759 --> 00:12:42.759
who you are. They took a dim view of me

212
00:12:42.960 --> 00:12:44.639
for carrying a gun, and they have a pretty good

213
00:12:44.679 --> 00:12:45.840
idea who I am too?

214
00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:49.159
Who are you? Hawkins? Will do still, Hawkins?

215
00:12:49.559 --> 00:12:50.679
What branch of the government?

216
00:12:50.799 --> 00:12:53.480
Well, I think I won't reveal that I was assigned

217
00:12:53.480 --> 00:12:55.080
to see that you cleared the country safely.

218
00:12:55.120 --> 00:12:55.639
Here I mean us.

219
00:12:56.600 --> 00:12:59.759
Someone slipped me and knockout dropping the coffee. That's when

220
00:12:59.799 --> 00:13:02.360
I lost consciousness and my gun.

221
00:13:02.759 --> 00:13:06.840
You were asleep when I came back. Oh this is me, missus,

222
00:13:06.879 --> 00:13:09.879
Steve Ramsay, Steve man High Howkins?

223
00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:11.039
How do you do? Mister Hawkins?

224
00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:13.960
Any idea? What their plans are? Refuel clear the rest

225
00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:15.919
of the passengers out, then.

226
00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:18.720
Then we head straight for San Dorinde.

227
00:13:19.120 --> 00:13:19.679
That's the motion.

228
00:13:21.120 --> 00:13:24.159
So the moment they get our friend Christoph here to Sandornda.

229
00:13:24.200 --> 00:13:27.240
He's a gone goes. He'll just drop out of sight suddenly,

230
00:13:27.399 --> 00:13:29.840
and for good. My guess is they'll set up one

231
00:13:29.879 --> 00:13:31.639
of these goons is a four guy, have a big

232
00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:34.080
show trial, and in the meanwhile return the plane with

233
00:13:34.200 --> 00:13:38.440
us aboard. Only somewhere on the way we'll all disappear

234
00:13:38.519 --> 00:13:41.360
in a puff of plastic bomb smoke. We're just as

235
00:13:41.480 --> 00:13:42.960
long gone as the king here?

236
00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:45.519
What's the alternative? Distract? Ugly?

237
00:13:45.600 --> 00:13:45.759
There?

238
00:13:45.840 --> 00:13:48.120
Long enough for one of us to disarm him? Can

239
00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:48.480
I see you?

240
00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:50.440
And as other boys can only get at us through

241
00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:53.879
the narrow passageway between tourist class and here. I can

242
00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:56.480
keep them pinned down, or you get out the emergency exit.

243
00:13:56.600 --> 00:13:59.200
He's a big guy, but that let me Okay, no

244
00:13:59.320 --> 00:14:00.960
time to argue. How do we distract him?

245
00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:01.759
That's my job.

246
00:14:02.320 --> 00:14:03.320
Please stay out of this.

247
00:14:03.480 --> 00:14:05.000
I'm in it just as much as all of you

248
00:14:05.759 --> 00:14:11.519
watch this. Hey, mister, come here a second, Okay, then

249
00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:12.159
I'll come to you.

250
00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:14.200
Take it easy.

251
00:14:14.320 --> 00:14:18.399
I just want to ask something. If you can hear me,

252
00:14:19.720 --> 00:14:23.879
I can't speak any louder. Oh, please come closer.

253
00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:25.120
That's it.

254
00:14:25.679 --> 00:14:27.320
I just want to ask where.

255
00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:33.279

256
00:14:33.399 --> 00:14:36.000
He's all right, I have begun. Hey where you are?

257
00:14:36.600 --> 00:14:37.320
Don't let him near you?

258
00:14:38.159 --> 00:14:38.919
What are you waiting for?

259
00:14:44.200 --> 00:14:49.879
Let's stay like that, all right, kiddo? Bet if John gun.

260
00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:52.960
You shot him?

261
00:14:53.039 --> 00:14:57.320
Guy, see you have chilled him? They talking, They are alive.

262
00:14:57.960 --> 00:14:59.000
It makes no difference.

263
00:14:59.120 --> 00:14:59.840
But they're other than that.

264
00:15:00.720 --> 00:15:02.799
I saw him try point blanket.

265
00:15:02.840 --> 00:15:08.000
Should have killed him, kay though, h oh no, Lord,

266
00:15:08.159 --> 00:15:11.320
you know you can kill a zombie.

267
00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:23.200
They're coming into the landing.

268
00:15:23.320 --> 00:15:23.480
Now.

269
00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:24.840
How's Chris?

270
00:15:25.679 --> 00:15:27.360
He's alive, but just barely.

271
00:15:27.559 --> 00:15:28.320
He can just hang on.

272
00:15:28.559 --> 00:15:31.320
Maybe when we land a doctor can help you to

273
00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:32.240
live for me.

274
00:15:32.519 --> 00:15:33.679
Don't give up, Chris.

I'll get yours for you.

292
00:17:06.400 --> 00:17:10.680
Not the most promising way to begin a honeymoon, particularly

293
00:17:10.759 --> 00:17:14.079
when it seems there is more than a little chance

294
00:17:14.160 --> 00:17:18.839
of ending it even before it's begun. Who knows what

295
00:17:19.119 --> 00:17:23.119
kind of reception is ahead for the newlyweds. I'll be

296
00:17:23.240 --> 00:17:24.920

rambling with Gambling. Good evening evening mystery fans. This is

323

00:19:11.920 --> 00:19:14.039
to try to put the morning together for you, to

326
00:19:14.119 --> 00:19:16.039
tell you what the weather's going to be like, whether

327
00:19:16.119 --> 00:19:19.039
there's heavy traffic coming into the city, whether the subways

328
00:19:19.079 --> 00:19:20.480
and the commuter trains are running.

329
00:19:20.759 --> 00:19:21.599

We cover sports completely with Don Crickey in the news department.

333
00:19:33.240 --> 00:19:36.400
Peter Roberts, Henry Gladstone and Harry Hennessy end up in

334
00:19:36.440 --> 00:19:39.680

335
00:19:39.720 --> 00:19:42.400
on the traffic scene. So all together we do try

336
00:19:42.480 --> 00:19:45.000

tuneful music, So tune in tomorrow morning or any morning

340
00:19:53.039 --> 00:19:54.319
for rambling with gambling.

341
00:19:54.599 --> 00:19:55.920
Now back to the mystery.

342
00:20:06.599 --> 00:20:10.839
Under other circumstances, Pat and Steve would have no complaints

343
00:20:10.880 --> 00:20:16.000
about their accommodations on the island. Drained and exhausted, the

344
00:20:16.119 --> 00:20:20.559
silk sheeted bed in an expensive suite is an alluring

345
00:20:20.680 --> 00:20:25.000
invitation to sleep, except even if you are dead to

346
00:20:25.079 --> 00:20:28.720
the world. Who wants to become part of the world

347
00:20:29.119 --> 00:20:30.000
of the dead people?

348
00:20:32.240 --> 00:20:32.640
Steve?

349
00:20:35.039 --> 00:20:39.440
Is it possible? Could there really be such a thing

350
00:20:39.480 --> 00:20:39.680
as it?

351
00:20:41.400 --> 00:20:41.440
Some?

352
00:20:42.279 --> 00:20:44.400
Of course not, it's just a superstition.

353
00:20:45.119 --> 00:20:48.160
But you saw Chris fire too, But let's right.

354
00:20:48.119 --> 00:20:53.799
Into his body. Yes, he didn't even flinch. How Gito,

355
00:20:54.240 --> 00:21:00.680
here goes some what I think. Therefore, I am pat looked.

356
00:21:01.279 --> 00:21:03.640
Under any of the circumstances, I'd be fascinated.

357
00:21:04.240 --> 00:21:08.359
I mean, this is my field, and you do believe

358
00:21:09.759 --> 00:21:10.400
that there are.

359
00:21:12.240 --> 00:21:13.119
Walking dead?

360
00:21:13.960 --> 00:21:17.480
Do I believe that a man can be exsumed from

361
00:21:17.519 --> 00:21:20.000
the grave and life breathed back into his corpse?

362
00:21:20.279 --> 00:21:20.319
No?

363
00:21:21.200 --> 00:21:24.440
No, I can't accept that. That's beyond my credulity.

364
00:21:24.799 --> 00:21:29.160
But I've seen things in parapsychological experiments and in psychic research.

365
00:21:28.839 --> 00:21:35.359
That, Honey, the power of supernatural belief is beyond belief.

366
00:21:36.279 --> 00:21:39.880
The right subject, particularly one of low mentality under hypnosis,

367
00:21:39.960 --> 00:21:44.839
is capable of incredible feats, superhuman strength, no sensation of pain,

368
00:21:44.960 --> 00:21:45.920
no shock reaction.

369
00:21:47.720 --> 00:21:50.960
Oh lord, No, what the knock?

370
00:21:51.079 --> 00:21:53.240
Wasn't it the door we came in? Is that one

371
00:21:53.279 --> 00:21:53.680
over there?

372
00:21:54.079 --> 00:21:56.519
Wait a minute, say where you are at?

373
00:21:57.680 --> 00:21:57.880
Yes?

374
00:21:58.799 --> 00:21:59.640
Who is it? Bill?

375
00:22:00.559 --> 00:22:01.759
I'm in an adjoining room.

376
00:22:02.160 --> 00:22:03.440
They're a boat on your side.

377
00:22:04.200 --> 00:22:04.440
Yeah?

378
00:22:05.279 --> 00:22:11.279
Half a second, Hi, Bill, listen, we've got to talk.

379
00:22:12.160 --> 00:22:14.440
What's the sense in talking? Hello?

380
00:22:14.599 --> 00:22:14.759
Ben?

381
00:22:15.640 --> 00:22:15.839
Hello?

382
00:22:16.000 --> 00:22:16.200
Bill?

383
00:22:17.200 --> 00:22:17.759
How's your arm?

384
00:22:17.920 --> 00:22:20.359
It feels fine. They did a real good job of

385
00:22:20.480 --> 00:22:23.440
patching it up. I just wondered before we all turned in,

386
00:22:23.559 --> 00:22:24.720
if you had a radio.

387
00:22:24.559 --> 00:22:27.559
In here there's one right over there. Good mind if

388
00:22:27.599 --> 00:22:28.119
I turn.

389
00:22:28.039 --> 00:22:29.759
It on and see if I can catch some news?

390
00:22:31.000 --> 00:22:35.240
Oh only one band? Well, let's see what it's got.

391
00:22:36.359 --> 00:22:38.720
Hey, I see they provided you with a meal too,

392
00:22:39.240 --> 00:22:40.559
because I never even noticed.

393
00:22:40.720 --> 00:22:41.559
Pretty good grub.

394
00:22:41.599 --> 00:22:42.359
You should try it.

395
00:22:43.160 --> 00:22:46.160
I wouldn't touch it, nor right, I don't see how well?

396
00:22:46.279 --> 00:22:46.359
Right?

397
00:22:46.400 --> 00:22:47.319
We can cut the comedy.

398
00:22:47.400 --> 00:22:49.599
Now this place has budged the radio or to block

399
00:22:49.680 --> 00:22:49.920
us out.

400
00:22:49.960 --> 00:22:51.880
Now we've got to plan some kind of escape.

401
00:22:52.240 --> 00:22:52.440
Huh.

402
00:22:52.720 --> 00:22:54.119
I may have that lined up.

403
00:22:54.920 --> 00:22:57.400
It's where to hold out after we bust from here.

404
00:22:57.440 --> 00:22:59.880
That's got me stopped. I've got a possible answer to that.

405
00:23:00.160 --> 00:23:01.119
What not?

406
00:23:01.400 --> 00:23:01.799
So long?

407
00:23:02.319 --> 00:23:06.319
Oh, Chris's aunt, she lives here where the avenue of

408
00:23:06.359 --> 00:23:06.880
the Dolls.

409
00:23:07.039 --> 00:23:11.240
It's a long winding street. Any idea where you know it?

410
00:23:11.599 --> 00:23:13.880
I spent six months on secret service here before we

411
00:23:14.000 --> 00:23:16.240
closed down our embassy. For you to give you a

412
00:23:16.319 --> 00:23:17.599
cross streams or a number.

413
00:23:18.200 --> 00:23:21.680
He was pretty incoherent before he died. When I asked him,

414
00:23:22.119 --> 00:23:26.200
he just sort of rambled on about the great Serpent

415
00:23:26.319 --> 00:23:29.759
and then the black bull or something.

416
00:23:29.920 --> 00:23:32.720
The serpent is the basic symbol of the Voodoo religion.

417
00:23:33.119 --> 00:23:35.559
Black bull I never heard of in this liturgy. Way

418
00:23:35.599 --> 00:23:36.000
a minute.

419
00:23:36.960 --> 00:23:40.079
The chicken in the obia coat is a sacrificial animal

420
00:23:40.240 --> 00:23:40.839
considered to.

421
00:23:42.359 --> 00:23:45.559
Maybe it was the black pull he was trying to say,

422
00:23:45.640 --> 00:23:46.519
black pullet.

423
00:23:47.119 --> 00:23:48.279
Does that mean anything to you, Bill?

424
00:23:48.599 --> 00:23:53.799
Yeah, well, anymost it's a sort of a souvenir shop,

425
00:23:54.440 --> 00:23:56.559
you know, a typical tourist, rapid straw.

426
00:23:56.400 --> 00:23:57.920
Handsome dolls and voodoo drums.

427
00:23:57.960 --> 00:24:00.319
You mean to say, well, could you find this park?

428
00:24:01.079 --> 00:24:02.079
And how do we get out?

429
00:24:02.640 --> 00:24:03.920
You got slack sons. It's good.

430
00:24:04.400 --> 00:24:06.680
You got a dark scarf to cover that blonde hair, right,

431
00:24:06.759 --> 00:24:10.960
he right, Come with me, walk soft, keep your voices low.

432
00:24:11.880 --> 00:24:13.640
Turn up that radiol Roger.

433
00:24:15.599 --> 00:24:16.599
Can quick the doing.

434
00:24:21.559 --> 00:24:21.799
Good?

435
00:24:22.720 --> 00:24:25.720
Come on, leave it open. I'm over here to my

436
00:24:25.839 --> 00:24:27.759
window to keep off to the sides.

437
00:24:29.359 --> 00:24:29.960
I look down.

438
00:24:31.279 --> 00:24:33.759
It's one of those those zombies down there.

439
00:24:33.920 --> 00:24:36.960
But you see there's a balcony steps that lead to

440
00:24:37.039 --> 00:24:42.759
the street with something subhuman or maybe I should say superhuman.

441
00:24:42.319 --> 00:24:44.279
Armed with a gun right at the bottom of them.

442
00:24:44.839 --> 00:24:46.839
If he's cold, cocky, he isn't going to do him

443
00:24:46.839 --> 00:24:47.240
any good.

444
00:24:47.519 --> 00:24:49.279
I fill you have a lot of guts, but you know,

445
00:24:49.400 --> 00:24:51.519
Muhammad Ali and the only strength I have is in

446
00:24:51.640 --> 00:24:52.079
my brain.

447
00:24:52.200 --> 00:24:55.599
We'll out your hands. I'm going to give you the equalizers.

448
00:24:56.799 --> 00:24:59.799
Steve, with his fist wrapped around a roll of nickels

449
00:24:59.880 --> 00:25:02.920
or quarters, a thirteen year old boy could deck Joe

450
00:25:03.039 --> 00:25:05.920
Frasier given the chance to blindside him. Yeah, but we

451
00:25:06.000 --> 00:25:09.400
haven't got your hands out. This is a salt cellar,

452
00:25:09.640 --> 00:25:12.880
same difference. I'm spilling the saw to your left hand,

453
00:25:13.519 --> 00:25:15.680
wrap the other around this heavy crystal. I'm doing the

454
00:25:15.680 --> 00:25:18.880
same with the pepper. Are you pat We're going to

455
00:25:19.000 --> 00:25:22.200
cover us by making a diversion. Pick up that glass

456
00:25:22.279 --> 00:25:25.680
water pitcher there, too heavy for you to throw. No,

457
00:25:27.400 --> 00:25:30.119
we turn off the lights, turn off the radio, make

458
00:25:30.240 --> 00:25:33.160
like we're turning in. Then we sneak out the French

459
00:25:33.200 --> 00:25:35.400
windows onto the balcony. You go off to the right

460
00:25:35.440 --> 00:25:39.000
opposite end from the steps. When that zombie reacts to

461
00:25:39.119 --> 00:25:42.119
the crash of that picture on the flagstones on your side,

462
00:25:42.720 --> 00:25:45.079
Steve and I go down the steps and take him out.

463
00:25:45.839 --> 00:25:47.680
Then we go look for toss Solange.

464
00:25:48.279 --> 00:25:50.200
Now, but he'd see you, of.

465
00:25:50.319 --> 00:25:54.240
Course, so we wait until dark and that won't be long.

466
00:25:54.319 --> 00:26:05.480
Now, now you take him, Steve, he's still not out.

467
00:26:05.559 --> 00:26:07.519
I'm flowing the pepper. Throw the salt in his eyes.

468
00:26:08.160 --> 00:26:10.039
They watch it.

469
00:26:12.319 --> 00:26:15.240
I think, I think I killed alone. Stop to find

470
00:26:15.279 --> 00:26:16.960
out the light's going on. Come on, pat, we'll have

471
00:26:17.000 --> 00:26:26.400
to run for it. Hold, we'll have the chance of life.

472
00:26:26.960 --> 00:26:30.839
Which which way ahead to the right, build the next

473
00:26:30.880 --> 00:26:35.279
block the right on our heels. Give me that flashlight.

474
00:26:35.319 --> 00:26:36.960
You get out of here, both of you. What about

475
00:26:36.960 --> 00:26:37.839
you don't be a fool.

476
00:26:38.200 --> 00:26:39.960
Somebody's got to be a decoy and you have a

477
00:26:40.000 --> 00:26:40.599
wife to think of.

478
00:26:40.720 --> 00:26:42.839
My hurry, Come on, pack run.

479
00:26:44.799 --> 00:27:00.319
Hold they went to that light, yes times to sell hush.

480
00:27:01.000 --> 00:27:01.599
Who won't, sir?

481
00:27:02.599 --> 00:27:06.240
I am Christopher's friend with my wife. We are running

482
00:27:06.240 --> 00:27:10.640
from to Hado. The Generalissimo. Christopher told me to seek

483
00:27:10.680 --> 00:27:11.359
refuge here.

484
00:27:11.480 --> 00:27:17.119
And to bring you this the Great Serpent a moment,

485
00:27:20.519 --> 00:27:25.119
and to my children quickly quickly, so turn out your lights.

486
00:27:25.160 --> 00:27:26.440
Also we must.

487
00:27:26.359 --> 00:27:27.640
Hide my cats in the dark.

488
00:27:35.519 --> 00:27:40.680
So they have killed her Christophe, first my brother, then

489
00:27:40.759 --> 00:27:41.200
his son.

490
00:27:42.720 --> 00:27:45.519
Well he will be made to pay, and.

491
00:27:45.720 --> 00:27:48.960
Aye for an eye, a heart for bleeding heart.

492
00:27:51.119 --> 00:27:55.160
Now shall the tire and bleed. Now at last my

493
00:27:55.519 --> 00:27:59.960
curse shall enter his vitals. Now well the great serpent

494
00:28:00.240 --> 00:28:04.200
and coil and strike her. Nando Treedo dead.

495
00:28:04.839 --> 00:28:06.960
It wasn't the Generalisimo who shot Chris.

496
00:28:07.119 --> 00:28:11.400
It was a man named Garciacia, that jack of puppet,

497
00:28:11.519 --> 00:28:14.559
dangled by the strings, that less than nothing.

498
00:28:14.359 --> 00:28:16.160
But no mind or will of his own?

499
00:28:16.720 --> 00:28:17.759
Is he a zombie too?

500
00:28:18.720 --> 00:28:20.720
What do you know of zombie's, my child?

501
00:28:21.200 --> 00:28:23.559
Nothing except what I saw on the plane and what

502
00:28:23.720 --> 00:28:24.839
my husband tried to tell me.

503
00:28:25.200 --> 00:28:28.039
Oh, you are a teacher in college, Monsieur RAMSEYO, yes,

504
00:28:28.400 --> 00:28:31.559
and much of my studies are in the supernatural.

505
00:28:31.920 --> 00:28:33.039
You believe in zombie?

506
00:28:33.559 --> 00:28:38.079
Well no, not altogether. Very well, we shall put.

507
00:28:37.960 --> 00:28:39.160
Our beliefs to the test.

508
00:28:41.000 --> 00:28:43.519
It's a dog like the ones you sell in the

509
00:28:43.559 --> 00:28:44.119
store here.

510
00:28:44.640 --> 00:28:45.759
Not quite the same.

511
00:28:46.680 --> 00:28:51.440
This one is like the souvenirs of el Generalissimo, with

512
00:28:51.640 --> 00:28:52.359
this difference.

513
00:28:53.960 --> 00:28:55.960
I have been a long time making him.

514
00:28:57.480 --> 00:29:01.279
You see the stories for his favorite horses stall.

515
00:29:02.200 --> 00:29:05.200
The beard is made from the combings of his hair brush.

516
00:29:06.000 --> 00:29:10.319
The eyes ja chips from a dress coat button, the

517
00:29:10.400 --> 00:29:12.519
boots from the fingers of an old glove.

518
00:29:14.839 --> 00:29:16.680
This is a voodoo doll.

519
00:29:18.200 --> 00:29:20.880
All of him is made with it that once belonged

520
00:29:20.920 --> 00:29:26.079
to Treedo. The one last thing I needed to make

521
00:29:26.160 --> 00:29:31.519
the spell work, the weapon. Now what last I have

522
00:29:31.759 --> 00:29:37.200
in my hand, The instrument of destruction. I straighten out

523
00:29:37.279 --> 00:29:43.559
the circle, turn the head to the sky and death

524
00:29:44.799 --> 00:29:52.000
the tail towards the ground and strike. What have I done,

525
00:29:52.119 --> 00:29:52.960
mister Ramsey?

526
00:29:54.039 --> 00:29:57.880
You he drove the bracelet like a knife, straight through

527
00:29:57.920 --> 00:30:01.079
the doll's head from temple to temple.

528
00:30:02.200 --> 00:30:06.880
Ernando Tredo will be dead by midnight and we.

529
00:30:06.960 --> 00:30:12.519
Will all be free. You still do not believe.

530
00:30:13.799 --> 00:30:18.400
Let us find how strong your science holds against my faith.

531
00:30:20.759 --> 00:30:23.640
Trado's men the doll. They must not find the doll.

532
00:30:23.799 --> 00:30:25.079
Help me pin it under my skirt.

533
00:30:25.480 --> 00:30:26.839
My hands are shaking something.

534
00:30:28.359 --> 00:30:29.559
Time so.

535
00:30:31.240 --> 00:30:34.680
Beat again? Say your Ramsey, how did you find us?

536
00:30:35.640 --> 00:30:40.079
No frying Hawkins. He gave us away. Hey, you're Ramsey.

537
00:30:41.079 --> 00:30:44.960
Every man will give anything away with the right persuasion.

538
00:30:46.079 --> 00:30:51.079
Say your coggins look longer than most. It was very foolish.

539
00:30:52.559 --> 00:30:55.480
What do you mean scenes in the end? Keep all?

540
00:30:57.200 --> 00:31:01.599
Why was it worth lying for? Almost must not keep

541
00:31:01.640 --> 00:31:02.519
the canarvy.

542
00:31:02.240 --> 00:31:02.720
On my wedding.

543
00:31:10.200 --> 00:31:14.079
Please let me assure you that you have nothing to

544
00:31:14.319 --> 00:31:18.720
hurry about. I ask you all to relax now. The

545
00:31:18.920 --> 00:31:22.240
tower is set for a let's suffer. I am sure

546
00:31:22.319 --> 00:31:25.799
you must all be famished after a long and difficult day,

547
00:31:26.640 --> 00:31:31.440
won't you be my guests prisoners. You mean so sado, yes,

548
00:31:32.240 --> 00:31:36.440
Laban trancess, so lunge. I come, honord. I have no

549
00:31:36.640 --> 00:31:38.839
idea you have come to live among us.

550
00:31:39.440 --> 00:31:40.319
I have been here.

551
00:31:40.279 --> 00:31:41.079
Longer than you know.

552
00:31:42.279 --> 00:31:45.720
Yes, I haven't speak to my secret police about that.

553
00:31:46.640 --> 00:31:48.839
Had I even told you were honoring our country with

554
00:31:48.880 --> 00:31:52.039
the visit, I would have arranged a more suitable welcome.

555
00:31:52.480 --> 00:31:55.440
I am sure you would. By disposing of me as

556
00:31:55.519 --> 00:31:57.359
you did my brother and.

557
00:31:57.519 --> 00:32:02.279
My nephew Christo, I suppose it would be impossible for

558
00:32:02.440 --> 00:32:05.799
me to convince you that I had no hand in

559
00:32:05.839 --> 00:32:07.039
the death of King Francois.

560
00:32:07.359 --> 00:32:11.880
This truth is that his heart failed him. His death

561
00:32:12.079 --> 00:32:13.160
was a natural one.

562
00:32:14.000 --> 00:32:19.200
Lie upon lie, but one truth you cannot twist the

563
00:32:19.400 --> 00:32:20.440
death of my nephew.

564
00:32:21.000 --> 00:32:22.160
Did you see him die?

565
00:32:22.880 --> 00:32:25.000
There are two witnesses before your.

566
00:32:24.960 --> 00:32:26.799
Deathk go din Ah.

567
00:32:28.160 --> 00:32:33.119
He excoose me in a moment, Garcia, Are you ready

568
00:32:34.200 --> 00:32:39.680
see now we must wait for a moment from what

569
00:32:40.519 --> 00:32:46.319
you we see, Senora Ramsey, let me ask you a question.

570
00:32:47.240 --> 00:32:54.039
What did you see Christophe Leclaire die? Yes, I'm choosing you. Yes,

571
00:32:54.839 --> 00:32:57.279
you are quite sure, of course. Yes, Look what are

572
00:32:57.319 --> 00:32:58.119
you trying to prove?

573
00:32:58.680 --> 00:32:59.000
Not I.

574
00:33:00.519 --> 00:33:04.880
I will let him show you that for himself. You'll

575
00:33:04.920 --> 00:33:15.279
see Chris is shippy, Steve, He's alive. It's Chris, Chris?

576
00:33:16.799 --> 00:33:17.400
Is it really you?

577
00:33:19.839 --> 00:33:20.160
Sure?

578
00:33:20.319 --> 00:33:20.519
Man?

579
00:33:21.319 --> 00:33:21.640
Sure?

580
00:33:22.839 --> 00:33:23.599
Don't you know me?

581
00:33:28.319 --> 00:33:33.000
There is no mistaking the tall, live figure, the regal bearing,

582
00:33:33.720 --> 00:33:38.480
the proud, handsome face, All those belonged to Christophe Leclair.

583
00:33:39.839 --> 00:33:43.079
He might easily have remarked as Mark Twain once telegraphed

584
00:33:43.960 --> 00:33:48.799
the reports of my death are an exaggeration. We'll return

585
00:33:48.880 --> 00:33:57.759
shortly with Act three. Some research experts say you can't

586
00:33:57.880 --> 00:33:59.480
taste the difference between beers.

587
00:34:00.119 --> 00:34:02.839
Well, if they're right, then Anheuser.

588
00:34:02.440 --> 00:34:05.799
Bush wastes a barrel of time beechwood aging Budweiser.

589
00:34:06.359 --> 00:34:07.319
Only they don't think so.

590
00:34:07.960 --> 00:34:11.920
Brewing beer right does make a difference, and they're betting

591
00:34:11.960 --> 00:34:15.440
a bundle that you can taste the difference in bud.

592
00:34:16.239 --> 00:34:17.480
When it comes to brewing.

593
00:34:17.239 --> 00:34:20.239
Budweiser, the Anheuser Bush choice is to go all the

594
00:34:20.360 --> 00:34:23.880
way because they still care about quality.

595
00:34:28.880 --> 00:34:29.679
Look at it this way.

596
00:34:30.199 --> 00:34:32.400
If the bud people have a choice between what some

597
00:34:32.840 --> 00:34:36.960
experts say and what beer drinkers say, well you'd better

598
00:34:37.039 --> 00:34:38.360
believe they'll go with you.

599
00:34:38.559 --> 00:34:40.079
Beer drinkers every.

600
00:34:39.960 --> 00:34:45.559
Time when you say Budweiser, you said it all Anheuser

601
00:34:45.639 --> 00:34:47.559
Busch Saint Louis.

602
00:34:50.199 --> 00:34:51.159
Tomorrow Monday.

603
00:34:51.280 --> 00:34:54.000
Abraham and Strauss huge savings on broad loom and on

604

broad loom remnant rugs from one of America's top carpet mills.

605

They and us snapped up a very I shall purchase

606

Come early.

623
00:36:06.239 --> 00:36:08.920
At the shock of the reincarnation of a dead man

624
00:36:09.079 --> 00:36:12.559
appearing from the grave, it is not surprising that his

625
00:36:12.719 --> 00:36:18.000
friends and relative are literally frozen in their tracks. Under

626
00:36:18.039 --> 00:36:22.559
the circumstances, it is only decent courtesy for the returned

627
00:36:22.679 --> 00:36:28.639
corpse to break the ice dansonage. Guess have you no

628
00:36:28.719 --> 00:36:29.400
greeting for me?

629
00:36:30.360 --> 00:36:35.480
Mompoor? Fuck you too? Anl Patu? Forgive me? I thought

630
00:36:35.760 --> 00:36:37.119
never to see you again.

631
00:36:37.679 --> 00:36:41.840
But here I am ah most shell, but be most she.

632
00:36:43.920 --> 00:36:44.199
Quell.

633
00:36:44.400 --> 00:36:48.639
Now Here is a reunion warf celebrating. That was a

634
00:36:48.719 --> 00:36:51.480
pretty rough wound you had, Chris, worse.

635
00:36:51.320 --> 00:36:51.960
Than it looked.

636
00:36:52.239 --> 00:36:55.960
Thank god it was mostly flesh damaged. The doctors tell

637
00:36:56.079 --> 00:36:59.519
me the bullet bounced off my sternum and never entered

638
00:36:59.519 --> 00:37:02.519
the chest. But should you be on your feet long

639
00:37:02.639 --> 00:37:04.679
enough to ease your minds about me?

640
00:37:05.119 --> 00:37:06.960
I'm still a bit woozy.

641
00:37:07.119 --> 00:37:09.719
It's the scond time you took the XB too slant

642
00:37:09.800 --> 00:37:13.159
off tackle against Ohio State and that big linebacker sought

643
00:37:13.239 --> 00:37:19.599
a kitchen head something something like that, I tell them

644
00:37:19.760 --> 00:37:24.400
the good news, Generisimo, set my aunt's mind.

645
00:37:24.199 --> 00:37:27.639
At rest when I know you hold out my motives

646
00:37:27.880 --> 00:37:32.079
even crestof did I can hardly blame him, since I

647
00:37:32.199 --> 00:37:35.280
took such extreme measures to bring him here to San

648
00:37:35.360 --> 00:37:38.480
Dolindi before his planned driver at the motia.

649
00:37:39.360 --> 00:37:40.679
What was your reason for that?

650
00:37:41.400 --> 00:37:44.719
We walked it tidle upon the sheer island of owls.

651
00:37:45.119 --> 00:37:50.400
Two cultures, two languages, two forms of government, perhaps precariously

652
00:37:50.679 --> 00:37:54.159
on a heavery increasing population in a far more ancient

653
00:37:54.280 --> 00:37:59.519
and primitive culture than hither of ours. Your brother and I,

654
00:38:00.199 --> 00:38:04.599
he ching his own way, preserved that delicate balance.

655
00:38:05.719 --> 00:38:10.239
With his unexpected death, steps had to be taken.

656
00:38:10.719 --> 00:38:13.960
Why you know, his plan was to return the government

657
00:38:14.000 --> 00:38:14.920
to the people that.

658
00:38:15.039 --> 00:38:18.280
Would not have hoard, not even for them. We would

659
00:38:18.320 --> 00:38:22.559
have ended both of us in anarchy. Fortunately, my godson

660
00:38:22.760 --> 00:38:27.400
was perceptive enough to realize that we have worked out

661
00:38:27.519 --> 00:38:28.920
between us a.

662
00:38:29.039 --> 00:38:31.239
Better plan, a compromise.

663
00:38:32.239 --> 00:38:36.280
I would prefer to call it and nott, But tell

664
00:38:36.360 --> 00:38:38.360
them Christo, it's quite simple.

665
00:38:38.760 --> 00:38:43.480
Tomorrow, together my godfather and I shall proclaim a union

666
00:38:43.679 --> 00:38:47.960
between Malitia and Sentorindi, a pri lingual state.

667
00:38:48.639 --> 00:38:49.480
With one government.

668
00:38:50.000 --> 00:38:55.000
Ruled by whom by the Generalissimo and myself I as

669
00:38:55.119 --> 00:38:58.440
president and my godfather as Prime minister.

670
00:38:59.000 --> 00:39:04.280
So he does second place weird as grow the younger sorage,

671
00:39:04.599 --> 00:39:06.719
someone must take our place.

672
00:39:07.559 --> 00:39:09.320
I am happy to yield to the future.

673
00:39:10.199 --> 00:39:13.840
What better hands could this hire and be in than

674
00:39:14.000 --> 00:39:21.239
increase staff's. So now I think, mister Presidente, you should rest.

675
00:39:21.960 --> 00:39:25.880
Doctors can do all this so much. Nature handles the rest.

676
00:39:26.239 --> 00:39:27.719
Yes, I would like to.

677
00:39:29.400 --> 00:39:29.880
Lie down.

678
00:39:30.400 --> 00:39:32.920
I am sure you will be excused. I beg you

679
00:39:33.079 --> 00:39:36.000
not to wait for me to enjoy your supper. The

680
00:39:36.119 --> 00:39:39.840
President and myself have a few matters to settle about

681
00:39:39.920 --> 00:39:42.599
the announcement tomorrow before he goes to speak.

682
00:39:43.760 --> 00:39:49.159
Forgive me please, I'm tired, and tomorrow's say big day,

683
00:39:50.800 --> 00:39:54.800
good night, good night, Prace, good night at.

684
00:39:54.760 --> 00:39:58.360
Your mom bebby, goodbye.

685
00:40:00.199 --> 00:40:00.639
Forever.

686
00:40:01.719 --> 00:40:02.159
What is it?

687
00:40:03.159 --> 00:40:04.239
What's the matter with you two?

688
00:40:06.159 --> 00:40:06.599
You saw?

689
00:40:08.000 --> 00:40:08.239
You know?

690
00:40:10.159 --> 00:40:11.920
Do you now believe in zombies?

691
00:40:12.840 --> 00:40:16.119
Are you trying to say that wasn't Chris who was

692
00:40:16.199 --> 00:40:16.960
here just now?

693
00:40:17.480 --> 00:40:18.280
I don't understand.

694
00:40:18.400 --> 00:40:19.480
You don't know him? Zaidu.

695
00:40:19.920 --> 00:40:22.159
Firsty, he never would accept this deal. The guy is

696
00:40:22.199 --> 00:40:23.719
too decent to want us to be part of it.

697
00:40:23.800 --> 00:40:27.320
But there are other things what well. First off, our

698
00:40:27.440 --> 00:40:31.519
school never played Ohio State. Second Sawchuck was no linebacker

699
00:40:31.599 --> 00:40:33.320
but a running back who murdered us, and the only

700
00:40:33.400 --> 00:40:36.360
loss we had together. Third XB two wasn't a run

701
00:40:36.440 --> 00:40:38.239
play but a deep pass play that had nothing to

702
00:40:38.320 --> 00:40:39.840
do with Chris except as a decoy.

703
00:40:40.480 --> 00:40:43.199
I don't understand the things your husband says. But I

704
00:40:43.360 --> 00:40:47.239
tell you that was not Christoph Leclear who just left,

705
00:40:47.840 --> 00:40:52.519
not my nephew. They have stolen his soul and that

706
00:40:52.719 --> 00:40:53.920
I cannot allow.

707
00:40:54.280 --> 00:40:55.199
For what can we do about it?

708
00:40:55.320 --> 00:41:00.280
Tantasselage, It is a very few minutes to twelve. I

709
00:41:00.480 --> 00:41:05.719
told you Ernando Truhedo would be dead by then. Remember, yes,

710
00:41:07.320 --> 00:41:11.559
here is a conjured doll which will make his death.

711
00:41:13.119 --> 00:41:16.400
I placed it on his desk so he can see it,

712
00:41:17.840 --> 00:41:18.840
for it is by.

713
00:41:18.760 --> 00:41:19.760
His own guilt.

714
00:41:19.960 --> 00:41:25.119
He must die before the end of this day. But

715
00:41:25.239 --> 00:41:27.159
if he doesn't return, he will return.

716
00:41:28.159 --> 00:41:29.559
It is written in the dust.

717
00:41:31.840 --> 00:41:32.000
Huh.

718
00:41:32.719 --> 00:41:34.159
Nobody feels like he.

719
00:41:35.800 --> 00:41:36.199
Word.

720
00:41:36.800 --> 00:41:40.679
I don't suppose I can altogether blame you, shall I

721
00:41:40.800 --> 00:41:42.880
have you shown through your quarters for the night?

722
00:41:43.039 --> 00:41:46.639
Instead? Where is christof I.

723
00:41:46.679 --> 00:41:50.039
Should never really cover out him to overtalks himself after

724
00:41:50.199 --> 00:41:50.960
being wounded.

725
00:41:51.559 --> 00:41:54.000
He was absolutely exhausted.

726
00:41:55.039 --> 00:41:55.760
I saw him to.

727
00:41:55.840 --> 00:41:59.320
Bed, and you return to suggest the same to us.

728
00:42:00.079 --> 00:42:00.679
I think we.

729
00:42:00.760 --> 00:42:01.840
Share all time.

730
00:42:02.320 --> 00:42:06.079
Whatever discussion that may be between us can wait for tomorrow.

731
00:42:07.039 --> 00:42:09.840
For you, there is no tomorrow.

732
00:42:10.960 --> 00:42:16.400
What do you mean, liar, cheek, thief, murderer.

733
00:42:17.360 --> 00:42:27.800
Look on your desk, the conjural, your image made peace

734
00:42:28.000 --> 00:42:33.519
by peace, from your belongings, fashioned in your likeness, christened

735
00:42:33.639 --> 00:42:37.079
in your name, with the blood of the black pullet,

736
00:42:38.159 --> 00:42:42.599
your own bracelet of the sacred serpent driven through its brain.

737
00:42:43.960 --> 00:42:49.400
Do you think I could buy such childish superstition? Kamo savage?

738
00:42:49.599 --> 00:42:52.480
What a man thinks is what he is? This primitive

739
00:42:52.559 --> 00:42:53.199
mumbo jumbo.

740
00:42:53.400 --> 00:42:54.760
We'll have no effect on me.

741
00:42:55.079 --> 00:42:55.719
Are you sure?

742
00:42:56.519 --> 00:42:58.840
How large is a bag of guilt you carry?

743
00:42:58.960 --> 00:42:59.199
Hull?

744
00:42:59.400 --> 00:43:02.480
Nothing convince you woman, Your nephew, my.

745
00:43:02.719 --> 00:43:05.239
Nephew Resta Christoph is dead?

746
00:43:05.440 --> 00:43:07.280
Can you say that you have just seen him?

747
00:43:07.400 --> 00:43:10.760
I saw walking prp nor idio superstition.

748
00:43:10.719 --> 00:43:14.559
Like my hundred dollars horse. Don't believe in it? No,

749
00:43:15.599 --> 00:43:17.440
And you believe in zombies?

750
00:43:18.119 --> 00:43:21.360
You know the power voodoo can create them, You know

751
00:43:21.599 --> 00:43:23.320
the power voodoo can kill?

752
00:43:24.599 --> 00:43:26.559
What is it you want? Too late?

753
00:43:27.039 --> 00:43:30.079
I would give you anything I offer you and these

754
00:43:30.119 --> 00:43:33.480
two safe transport now no streams attached?

755
00:43:33.760 --> 00:43:35.000
How can you guarantee it?

756
00:43:35.239 --> 00:43:35.400
Hang?

757
00:43:35.480 --> 00:43:36.800
Come head, hover? Reasonable?

758
00:43:37.239 --> 00:43:38.400
My power is in it?

759
00:43:38.599 --> 00:43:39.320
Not anymore.

760
00:43:40.079 --> 00:43:45.679
The clock is ticking your life away, twelve o'clock, only

761
00:43:45.840 --> 00:43:51.800
a few second left held me. I cannot help the diet,

00:43:51.960 --> 00:43:54.440
can't you cannot even help your.

763
00:43:54.360 --> 00:43:56.599
Hand if you money, use anything?

764
00:43:57.000 --> 00:43:57.159
Name?

765
00:43:58.159 --> 00:43:58.960
What do you want?

766
00:44:00.239 --> 00:44:01.960
Cannot give me what.

767
00:44:02.199 --> 00:44:05.039
You stole from? I left you his soul.

768
00:44:06.079 --> 00:44:10.320
I want yours in return, and die.

769
00:44:12.800 --> 00:44:17.760
By the power granted me as an opiate woman, vested

770
00:44:17.880 --> 00:44:23.159
in my hands by the uncoiling sacred serpents, to take

771
00:44:23.280 --> 00:44:28.679
the place of the rud doll, as it should to

772
00:44:28.840 --> 00:44:35.320
all tyrants. So comes a violent death to you. I

773
00:44:35.760 --> 00:44:41.000
condemn you to have a lasting fire and death by

774
00:44:41.079 --> 00:44:43.599
the serpent writhing in your.

775
00:44:45.280 --> 00:44:52.119
I cannot die, try sam kind of aw No one

776
00:44:52.239 --> 00:44:53.679
can't touch me, do you hear?

777
00:44:54.119 --> 00:44:54.159
No?

778
00:44:54.360 --> 00:44:54.519
One?

779
00:44:57.239 --> 00:44:58.320
You und me?

780
00:45:00.159 --> 00:45:01.000
What I have to do?

781
00:45:01.440 --> 00:45:02.719
His eyes, this pistol.

782
00:45:09.960 --> 00:45:10.599
What happened?

783
00:45:11.519 --> 00:45:12.559
I wouldn't like to guess.

784
00:45:13.199 --> 00:45:13.880
Does it matter?

785
00:45:15.039 --> 00:45:15.679
He's dead?

786
00:45:16.159 --> 00:45:18.400
Are you sure he's dead?

787
00:45:18.400 --> 00:45:18.760
All right?

788
00:45:20.280 --> 00:45:20.400
Now?

789
00:45:20.480 --> 00:45:22.920
What gotta get away? Escape?

790
00:45:23.000 --> 00:45:23.320
Somehow?

791
00:45:23.559 --> 00:45:26.000
Only how do we get through the palace guard. At

792
00:45:26.079 --> 00:45:28.639
least I have his gun. We better try and make a.

793
00:45:28.679 --> 00:45:31.599
Run for it. We have to rescue my nephew first,

794
00:45:32.119 --> 00:45:35.239
but count us Solage. He's our enemy now.

795
00:45:35.679 --> 00:45:37.119
I still must rescue him.

796
00:45:44.360 --> 00:45:47.559
That's for Bill Hawkins. Pat time will run for it.

797
00:45:47.599 --> 00:45:48.519
I'll try to hold him off.

798
00:45:49.360 --> 00:45:52.360
You can't kill dead men with that, Ghasia, Yes, but

799
00:45:52.599 --> 00:45:56.400
not a zombie. Hand me that salt seller here, But

800
00:45:56.559 --> 00:45:59.960
what good salt is the only thing that we'll kill

801
00:46:00.360 --> 00:46:01.599
A zombie.

802
00:46:08.480 --> 00:46:10.599
Chris ing on the.

803
00:46:10.639 --> 00:46:12.280
Bed is he?

804
00:46:12.559 --> 00:46:15.280
Oh no, he's still breathing. He's just asleep.

805
00:46:16.239 --> 00:46:19.559
Leave me alone with him. Go if you want to,

806
00:46:20.360 --> 00:46:24.760
but leave me with Christoph. Will you belong as long

807
00:46:24.800 --> 00:46:25.519
as it must take?

808
00:46:26.440 --> 00:46:28.480
Go or we can't find a way out of here

809
00:46:28.480 --> 00:46:29.719
without you? We'll wait.

810
00:46:30.800 --> 00:46:34.920
Oh, great serpent who coils about the sky and holds

811
00:46:35.000 --> 00:46:41.440
all world together, help me now, Help me to break

812
00:46:41.559 --> 00:46:45.840
the black magic that change my baby to a living debt.

813
00:46:47.440 --> 00:46:55.800
Help me to bring his soul home to you, Christophe, Christoph,

814
00:46:58.039 --> 00:47:06.000
listen to me. It is Tanta sologe who speaks. You

815
00:47:06.320 --> 00:47:08.440
know me as an opium magician.

816
00:47:09.800 --> 00:47:13.039
My magic is greater than the magic of the hougan

817
00:47:13.360 --> 00:47:14.119
who made you.

818
00:47:14.320 --> 00:47:14.880
What you are.

819
00:47:16.679 --> 00:47:20.599
He summoned you from the grave and stole away your soul.

820
00:47:22.480 --> 00:47:24.920
Now I must summon you back.

821
00:47:24.840 --> 00:47:33.880
To the grave, back to the dead, the everlasting dead,

822
00:47:35.679 --> 00:47:38.920
so that your immortal soul may live.

823
00:47:41.400 --> 00:47:48.360
But only you can break the bonds. Rise sumb me

824
00:47:49.679 --> 00:47:59.920
who ride and cross to the window. Open the shutters.

825
00:48:04.239 --> 00:48:04.440
Now.

826
00:48:07.079 --> 00:48:14.000
Now open your eyes and look at the sea. No, no,

827
00:48:15.880 --> 00:48:21.559
the name of the Great Serpent. I command you open

828
00:48:21.719 --> 00:48:22.320
your eyes.

829
00:48:24.239 --> 00:48:35.000
Mm hmmm, hunt Dunte, I'm going Oh.

830
00:48:39.760 --> 00:48:50.000
My baby, my baby, all.

831
00:48:48.519 --> 00:48:49.800
Right, what happened to see?

832
00:48:50.760 --> 00:48:58.559
His body may be dead, but he's solely safe. Christoph

833
00:49:00.199 --> 00:49:01.000
his home.

834
00:49:02.639 --> 00:49:03.559
At large.

835
00:49:11.119 --> 00:49:13.679
The death of the dictator set a people free, and

836
00:49:13.800 --> 00:49:17.519
a mad orgy of festival and delight in the wild

837
00:49:17.639 --> 00:49:20.760
celebration that lit up the city. No one had time

838
00:49:20.880 --> 00:49:24.199
to pay any attention to the three somber people who

839
00:49:24.280 --> 00:49:28.039
found their way back to the hotel. For Pat Steve

840
00:49:28.159 --> 00:49:33.679
and Tanta Solange. There was sadness, but solace too. The

841
00:49:33.800 --> 00:49:37.280
king was dead, but so was the zombie who might

842
00:49:37.320 --> 00:49:41.679
have held him prisoner for eternity. I'll returned shortly.

843
00:49:42.119 --> 00:49:44.480
Hi news, goldilocks here.

844
00:49:45.000 --> 00:49:48.719
Professionally taste testing diet drinks can be very difficult.

845
00:49:49.079 --> 00:49:51.880
But I just had to bear with it. Then I

846
00:49:52.000 --> 00:49:53.199
found sugar Free.

847
00:49:53.199 --> 00:49:54.239
Diet seven up.

848
00:49:54.639 --> 00:49:59.840
It doesn't taste like other diet drinks. It's fresh, light, natural, delicious.

849
00:50:00.239 --> 00:50:03.239
Sugar Free Diets seven up tastes so good that I've

850
00:50:03.280 --> 00:50:06.599
tast tested one hundreds of times and each time I've.

851
00:50:06.480 --> 00:50:08.280
Given it my seal of approval.

852
00:50:08.880 --> 00:50:11.480
Yes, this one's just right.

853
00:50:12.880 --> 00:50:18.159
United Airlines Steward jack Nester talks about friendship service to California.

854
00:50:19.599 --> 00:50:22.119
Our seven forty seven LA we have from a movie.

855
00:50:22.880 --> 00:50:26.800
We have stereo and choice of three different hot meals

856
00:50:26.840 --> 00:50:28.079
plus a deli play.

857
00:50:28.519 --> 00:50:33.159
United's Californians another reason more people choose the Friendly.

858
00:50:32.880 --> 00:50:35.800
Skies than any other airline in the land.

859
00:50:36.159 --> 00:50:37.960
Yeah, we have people that come up to us and say,

860
00:50:38.639 --> 00:50:40.280
I like to play bridge. Do you know if anyone

861
00:50:40.320 --> 00:50:42.480
else is interested? So I'll make an announcement. You can

862
00:50:42.519 --> 00:50:44.480
get a group together people who like to play chess.

863
00:50:45.119 --> 00:50:46.920
It seems like on a six hour flight you can

864
00:50:47.000 --> 00:50:47.960
do a lot more for people.

865
00:50:48.000 --> 00:50:48.119
You know.

866
00:50:48.199 --> 00:50:50.360
You get off feeling like you've done something.

867
00:51:02.679 --> 00:51:06.039
United has seven daily non stops to California, including wide

868
00:51:06.079 --> 00:51:09.599
body jets to Los Angeles and San Francisco every business day.

869
00:51:11.320 --> 00:51:13.119
This is Patricia McCann, and we'd like to tell you

870
00:51:13.199 --> 00:51:16.199
what the McCann program is all about this coming week. Monday,

871
00:51:16.239 --> 00:51:18.480
Dora McCann gives some good ideas on how to prepare

872
00:51:18.519 --> 00:51:21.119
the best food buys of the week. Tuesday, we begin

873
00:51:21.199 --> 00:51:25.400
a two part series on nutrition against arthritis, diabetes, heart disease.

874
00:51:25.800 --> 00:51:29.280
Our guest Nathan Pritticken will discuss research that shows diet

875
00:51:29.360 --> 00:51:32.760
can prevent and sometimes reverse some of these degenerative diseases

876
00:51:33.159 --> 00:51:36.880
so common in this country. Thursday, Dora McCann interviews Bob

877
00:51:36.920 --> 00:51:39.760
Brian Hart and Dick Woods on how to prepare elegant

878
00:51:39.800 --> 00:51:43.519
meals in very cramp quarters. And Friday, the program will

879
00:51:43.559 --> 00:51:47.559
be in praise of mothers and housewives when Arianna Stassinopoulos,

880
00:51:47.719 --> 00:51:50.880
author of The Female Woman, gives her argument against the

881
00:51:50.920 --> 00:51:52.280
women's liberation movement.

882
00:52:03.440 --> 00:52:12.719
Power of suggestion, hypnosis, superstitious fear, overpowering, guilt complexes, terror

883
00:52:12.840 --> 00:52:16.639
of the unknown? Do any or all of these explain

884
00:52:16.760 --> 00:52:20.559
the events of the tale I've just told? Or are

885
00:52:20.639 --> 00:52:25.960
there really such terrifying things as a walking corpse? Are

886
00:52:26.039 --> 00:52:30.159
there really zombies? Well, let's hope you and I I

887
00:52:30.320 --> 00:52:34.519
never have to find out. Our cast included Tony Roberts,

888
00:52:34.599 --> 00:52:40.079
Suzanne Grossman, Vinette Carroll, Bob Caliban, Jackson Beck, and Ian Martin.

889
00:52:41.119 --> 00:52:44.159
The entire production was under the direction of Hyman Brown.

890
00:52:49.119 --> 00:52:54.719
My dear, have you ever found yourself trying to appease

891
00:52:54.920 --> 00:53:01.719
someone who is simply not on the level. Perhaps their

892
00:53:03.000 --> 00:53:10.440
reasoning is devious there, maybe not the best actor per se.

893
00:53:12.199 --> 00:53:16.400
I've always found it fascinated to hear them talk their

894
00:53:16.519 --> 00:53:23.000
way out of whatever web they find themselves weaving in

895
00:53:23.119 --> 00:53:27.679
a way as you say goodbye to those people, it

896
00:53:27.920 --> 00:53:31.840
sounds like a serene for a cobra.

897
00:53:32.880 --> 00:53:38.199
Tired of the everyday routine, ever dream of a life

898
00:53:38.320 --> 00:53:41.599
of romantic adventure, want.

899
00:53:41.440 --> 00:53:42.800
To get away from it all?

900
00:53:44.400 --> 00:53:45.039
We offer you.

901
00:53:46.559 --> 00:53:54.280
Escape, Escape, designed to free you from the four walls

902
00:53:54.360 --> 00:53:57.320
of the day for a half hour of high adventure.

903
00:54:00.559 --> 00:54:04.000
Escape rought to you by your Richfield Gasoline Dealer and

904
00:54:04.119 --> 00:54:08.559
the Richfield Oil Corporation of New York. Marketers of Richfield Gasolines,

905
00:54:08.639 --> 00:54:12.440
motor oils and other petroleum products look for the Richfield Eagle,

906
00:54:12.559 --> 00:54:14.039
under cream and blue pumps.

907
00:54:26.079 --> 00:54:30.440
Tonight we escape to India in the story of an

908
00:54:30.519 --> 00:54:35.760
ex army pilot caught up in murderous intrigue. As Joel

909
00:54:35.840 --> 00:54:41.679
Murcott tells it in his exciting tale Serenade for a Cobra.

910
00:54:44.840 --> 00:54:47.559
He's got to keep playing. He's got to keep playing

911
00:54:47.599 --> 00:54:50.079
that music, and I've got to listen. He keeps it

912
00:54:50.159 --> 00:54:52.000
up long enough, I'll have a chance. But if he stops,

913
00:54:52.000 --> 00:54:55.039
I'm going to die. And he may stop, he may

914
00:54:55.079 --> 00:54:56.679
stop any minute, because that's what he wants.

915
00:54:57.199 --> 00:54:58.239
He wants me to die.

916
00:55:04.039 --> 00:55:06.599
My name's Monks Slavin. I'm a flyer. I don't know

917
00:55:06.639 --> 00:55:08.880
whatever brought me to Calcutter, but something about the name

918
00:55:08.920 --> 00:55:11.480
had the smell of gold, sounded like the kind of

919
00:55:11.519 --> 00:55:13.800
place where a good pilot who didn't ask questions might

920
00:55:13.840 --> 00:55:16.159
make a deal, a big deal, in a fast one.

921
00:55:16.800 --> 00:55:19.400
But nothing seemed to be drifting my way, Nothing but

922
00:55:19.519 --> 00:55:21.960
the intense hot wind of the monsoon and the fog

923
00:55:22.039 --> 00:55:24.559
from the Ganges, and the sea rolling over the city

924
00:55:24.599 --> 00:55:27.239
from all sides and strangling it. There's nothing to do

925
00:55:27.320 --> 00:55:29.719
but drink gin and quinine water at the airport bar

926
00:55:29.840 --> 00:55:31.320
and pray that you didn't get malaria.

927
00:55:33.639 --> 00:55:37.320
Oh, hello Slavin, Hello, grant you back again. Just flew

928
00:55:37.360 --> 00:55:39.920
in with a small cargo, a very small one.

929
00:55:40.679 --> 00:55:40.880
Mind.

930
00:55:40.920 --> 00:55:42.960
If I sit down, help yourself. You go and get

931
00:55:42.960 --> 00:55:45.400
out of calcut at night. Another five minutes of that

932
00:55:45.519 --> 00:55:47.400
fog and there'll be in better ceiling in here than

933
00:55:47.440 --> 00:55:49.880
there is out there. It sound like the monsoon is

934
00:55:49.920 --> 00:55:52.679
getting on your nerves. What you need is a job

935
00:55:52.880 --> 00:55:56.559
doing what flying stinking hides down here from Katmandu. You

936
00:55:56.639 --> 00:55:57.719
know'll call it a job, do you?

937
00:55:57.840 --> 00:56:00.320
It's the best work I can get at the moment. Now,

938
00:56:00.360 --> 00:56:01.400
if I had a chap like you.

939
00:56:01.480 --> 00:56:03.639
To handle the flights, I'd have time to dig up

940
00:56:03.679 --> 00:56:05.559
some new business. You don't have to dig it up,

941
00:56:05.599 --> 00:56:07.920
granted it's waiting for you. Used to ferry a lot

942
00:56:07.960 --> 00:56:10.079
of stuff in and out of China, yes, but that

943
00:56:10.280 --> 00:56:12.360
was before the prison situation. You could still make a

944
00:56:12.400 --> 00:56:14.719
buck out of China, a good fat profit anytime you

945
00:56:14.800 --> 00:56:18.360
want it. I don't fly contraband, oh ethics, sir, if

946
00:56:18.400 --> 00:56:19.960
you care to call it that. Yeh, that's why you're

947
00:56:20.000 --> 00:56:21.920
starving with a lousy one ship freight line.

948
00:56:22.440 --> 00:56:25.079
I could take offense at that, but I won't. You

949
00:56:25.360 --> 00:56:27.360
don't even have a ship, slavin And I'll wager you

950
00:56:27.519 --> 00:56:28.400
have very little cash.

951
00:56:28.480 --> 00:56:32.440
Well, that's a safe wager you'd win. Why not be practical, boy?

952
00:56:33.559 --> 00:56:35.360
I can offer you one hundred pounds a month and

953
00:56:35.480 --> 00:56:37.480
meals and quarters at the base at Katmandu.

954
00:56:37.880 --> 00:56:39.440
You know, I don't know how I can resist this

955
00:56:39.639 --> 00:56:42.800
chance to become a millionaire, but I'll try. It's better

956
00:56:42.840 --> 00:56:44.360
than nothing. Cushy enough.

957
00:56:44.840 --> 00:56:48.199
Four hundred and twenty miles down, four twenty back and

958
00:56:48.760 --> 00:56:50.000
no flying over the hump.

959
00:56:50.159 --> 00:56:54.320
No thanks, pardon, Oh, here's my mechanic.

960
00:56:54.760 --> 00:56:58.199
I have completed your errands are That's fine, Jeffa.

961
00:56:58.400 --> 00:57:01.719
I'll be right with you if you change your mind. Slavin,

962
00:57:01.800 --> 00:57:02.639
you know where to find me.

963
00:57:02.760 --> 00:57:05.400
Yea'll leave a light burning in the window, but don't

964
00:57:05.440 --> 00:57:11.760
wait up for me. That's all I got two bit

965
00:57:11.800 --> 00:57:14.440
offers from men like Grant, a beggar just like the

966
00:57:14.519 --> 00:57:17.480
reform beggar that followed him around his native man Ja'afar,

967
00:57:18.000 --> 00:57:20.360
a Hindu street faker who learned about planes at an

968
00:57:20.480 --> 00:57:23.280
RAF base during the war. Now Grant had him for

969
00:57:23.360 --> 00:57:25.400
a grease monkey and a radio operator at the base.

970
00:57:26.079 --> 00:57:28.119
You couldn't beat the British. They found a way to

971
00:57:28.199 --> 00:57:31.920
hang on. I reached for my half empty glass. There's

972
00:57:31.920 --> 00:57:36.519
another drink beside her, a food, A drink I had, Lord, is.

973
00:57:36.519 --> 00:57:39.440
It permissible for a lady to buy the drinks permissible.

974
00:57:39.639 --> 00:57:42.039
That's a big, happy, new custom. And thank the lady

975
00:57:42.159 --> 00:57:43.119
for me if you ever see it.

976
00:57:43.400 --> 00:57:47.400
The American flyer speaks sharply like the eagle, but the

977
00:57:47.519 --> 00:57:49.119
poor eagle has no wings.

978
00:57:49.159 --> 00:57:50.880
You were going to fix that for me, baby. Remember

979
00:57:51.039 --> 00:57:53.199
you had big connections. While I'm still sitting here waiting.

980
00:57:53.559 --> 00:57:56.760
My friends can use a flyer, but only if he

981
00:57:56.840 --> 00:57:57.440
has a plane.

982
00:57:57.559 --> 00:57:59.159
Well, just wait here, I'll go out and buy one,

983
00:57:59.760 --> 00:58:02.480
Come your hot shot. Connections. Can't afford a plane is not.

984
00:58:02.559 --> 00:58:06.599
The case of affording planes are difficult to get the license.

985
00:58:06.719 --> 00:58:12.079
The questions the authorities are forever asking questions. But my friends,

986
00:58:12.800 --> 00:58:16.360
they never asked questions. If you had a plane, for instance,

987
00:58:17.159 --> 00:58:18.159
they would not ask.

988
00:58:18.000 --> 00:58:18.599
Who owned it.

989
00:58:19.880 --> 00:58:21.079
Yeah, I see what you mean.

990
00:58:21.559 --> 00:58:24.400
I heard Grant offer you a job. If you worked

991
00:58:24.440 --> 00:58:26.639
for him, there would be days when you would be

992
00:58:26.719 --> 00:58:30.119
waiting here for cargo, enough time to make a little

993
00:58:30.159 --> 00:58:33.599
extra flight, a flight nat on mister Grant's schedule.

994
00:58:34.280 --> 00:58:36.960
And remember my friends pay.

995
00:58:36.880 --> 00:58:40.920
Well, yeah, yeah, maybe Grant's going to get himself a

996
00:58:40.960 --> 00:58:47.519
pilot after all. So I took Grant's job, and the

997
00:58:47.599 --> 00:58:49.280
next morning, when the weather cleared, we drove to the

998
00:58:49.360 --> 00:58:53.440
field through the teeming streets with hot, oppressive, suffocating wind

999
00:58:53.519 --> 00:58:56.719
carrying the stench of assault marshes across the city seemed

1000
00:58:56.760 --> 00:58:58.519
like an eternity before we were off the ground of

1001
00:58:58.599 --> 00:59:00.519
feeling the cool mercy of being airport.

1002
00:59:02.400 --> 00:59:04.519
Well, oh boy, what do you think about I see

1003
00:59:04.599 --> 00:59:06.719
handles all right, I just don't like the havilins.

1004
00:59:06.800 --> 00:59:07.119
What is it?

1005
00:59:07.239 --> 00:59:12.159
War surplus, yes, but completely reconditioned pressurized cabin heating and

1006
00:59:12.199 --> 00:59:13.239
air condition existed.

1007
00:59:13.679 --> 00:59:16.320
I've changed everything for comfort. Yeah, even the radio.

1008
00:59:16.440 --> 00:59:19.079
Why the open speaker instead of the headphones picked up

1009
00:59:19.079 --> 00:59:22.199
a fungus infection. In my years in Bama during the war,

1010
00:59:22.960 --> 00:59:25.760
headphones were painful, so I put in a speaker. I

1011
00:59:25.880 --> 00:59:28.800
thought the British philosophy about pain was Grin and Barrett

1012
00:59:30.159 --> 00:59:32.599
only when we can't do anything about it. Oh boy, yeah,

1013
00:59:32.639 --> 00:59:36.320
I see what's our eta hour and a half. That's

1014
00:59:36.400 --> 00:59:39.920
your landing strip. We call the bas black Cat. Your

1015
00:59:40.000 --> 00:59:43.440
plane identification is red kitten. The field's a bit like

1016
00:59:43.519 --> 00:59:46.400
a like a Wafflon. So send it out as gently

1017
00:59:46.440 --> 00:59:46.960
as you can.

1018
00:59:47.280 --> 00:59:49.800
I'll treat her like she was my own grant, just

1019
00:59:50.000 --> 00:59:57.840
like she was my very own well cut Mandu was

1020
00:59:57.880 --> 01:00:00.760
no improvement. On Calcutter see it from the air as

1021
01:00:00.800 --> 01:00:03.800
we came in the ancient wooden buildings and the temples,

1022
01:00:03.840 --> 01:00:06.760
thousands of them, but outnumbered by the throngs of humanity

1023
01:00:06.800 --> 01:00:09.320
in the dirty streets. We barely hit the strip before

1024
01:00:09.360 --> 01:00:11.719
the rain started again, brought in from nowhere by the wind.

1025
01:00:12.559 --> 01:00:14.840
We were withered down again at the stinking base outside

1026
01:00:14.880 --> 01:00:17.880
the town. And that's when ja'afar the mechanics started with

1027
01:00:18.000 --> 01:00:20.679
the punji, a kind of a native flute.

1028
01:00:26.440 --> 01:00:29.599
I say, Slavin, do sit down wearing me out.

1029
01:00:29.719 --> 01:00:31.599
I'm wearing you out. Listen to that thing. Don't he

1030
01:00:31.639 --> 01:00:37.320
ever stop just amusing himself? Sit down, man ah about

1031
01:00:37.320 --> 01:00:39.519
a hand of cod. I'm gonna concentrate on carts while

1032
01:00:39.559 --> 01:00:41.239
he's playing that thing. Can't you make him stop?

1033
01:00:41.360 --> 01:00:43.519
He can't make him do anything. He's in his own

1034
01:00:43.599 --> 01:00:45.880
hot and well, frankly, he's not bothering me.

1035
01:00:46.000 --> 01:00:49.719
And he's bothering me. Why the slicker, Where are you

1036
01:00:49.760 --> 01:00:52.000
going to turn that thing off? Before it drives me nuts?

1037
01:00:52.159 --> 01:00:52.599
Slavin?

1038
01:00:53.360 --> 01:00:57.199
These Hindus are strange people. They resist pressure. I'd advise

1039
01:00:57.239 --> 01:00:57.760
you to save it.

1040
01:00:58.679 --> 01:01:00.480
Grease Monkey's handle the same way in India as they

1041
01:01:00.519 --> 01:01:01.199
do anywhere else.

1042
01:01:02.239 --> 01:01:02.880
Be careful of that.

1043
01:01:12.960 --> 01:01:14.480
Far, that far?

1044
01:01:14.559 --> 01:01:17.440
Do you hear me? That far far?

1045
01:01:17.559 --> 01:01:18.199
Stop that thing.

1046
01:01:22.760 --> 01:01:24.480
I don't know why I stopped inside the door, but

1047
01:01:24.559 --> 01:01:28.440
I did. There was something eerie about the room, something

1048
01:01:28.559 --> 01:01:31.639
in jaffars burning black eyes that held me. I watched

1049
01:01:31.679 --> 01:01:34.920
the flute moving slowly as he played. When I saw

1050
01:01:34.960 --> 01:01:37.880
it in the dim light, the weaving puffed head of

1051
01:01:37.920 --> 01:01:41.000
a cobra. The snake was dancing in front of him. Oh,

1052
01:01:41.000 --> 01:01:43.280
I've seen cobras before, and the bazaars and in the streets.

1053
01:01:44.119 --> 01:01:46.000
No matter how many times I saw them, the sight

1054
01:01:46.039 --> 01:01:48.400
of that deadly, slowly moving puffed head was enough to

1055
01:01:48.400 --> 01:01:52.320
turn my blood dice. I back slowly out of the room,

1056
01:01:52.400 --> 01:02:00.840
closed the door. He played it every night after that,

1057
01:02:01.000 --> 01:02:03.280
every waking hour of the night, until I could hear

1058
01:02:03.320 --> 01:02:07.159
it even in my sleep, the strange, whining dirge, bringing

1059
01:02:07.199 --> 01:02:09.039
with it the memory of a weaving head of a snake,

1060
01:02:09.920 --> 01:02:12.039
and clear whether I could get away from it for

1061
01:02:12.079 --> 01:02:13.960
a while and it would be waiting for me when

1062
01:02:14.000 --> 01:02:17.039
I get back. And at Jeffar's eyes there was a challenge.

1063
01:02:17.800 --> 01:02:19.960
I could feel his hot stare burning into me as

1064
01:02:20.000 --> 01:02:23.320
we worked on the plane. What's on your mind? Jeffar,

1065
01:02:23.480 --> 01:02:24.559
what do he keeps staring at me for?

1066
01:02:25.480 --> 01:02:27.800
Why did you change your mind? Sar?

1067
01:02:28.920 --> 01:02:31.400
Why do you now work for mister gran what's it

1068
01:02:31.440 --> 01:02:35.960
to you, Jeffar? Mister grand is good to Jaffar. Mister

1069
01:02:36.079 --> 01:02:38.440
Grant is too quick to trust people.

1070
01:02:38.519 --> 01:02:39.599
I don't know what you're talking about.

1071
01:02:40.239 --> 01:02:41.360
Yes you do, Sar.

1072
01:02:42.360 --> 01:02:45.440
You know get out of here, Jeffar.

1073
01:02:46.360 --> 01:02:46.920
Did you hear me?

1074
01:02:47.000 --> 01:02:47.920
I said, get out of here.

1075
01:02:48.480 --> 01:02:53.800
I must work on mister Grand Planet.

1076
01:02:52.079 --> 01:02:54.760
Out what's going on?

1077
01:02:54.920 --> 01:02:55.320
Get out?

1078
01:02:57.239 --> 01:02:59.280
Stop it, stop it, get him out of here before

1079
01:02:59.280 --> 01:02:59.639
I kill it.

1080
01:03:00.159 --> 01:03:00.760
Go Geffer?

1081
01:03:01.559 --> 01:03:09.079
Please all right if you say so, mister Gane Slavin.

1082
01:03:10.039 --> 01:03:12.159
I don't know what started this, but I do know

1083
01:03:12.280 --> 01:03:13.960
that I don't want to happen again and keep him

1084
01:03:13.960 --> 01:03:15.920
out of my hair. I don't like any of these people,

1085
01:03:15.960 --> 01:03:17.280
and he rates number one on my list.

1086
01:03:17.480 --> 01:03:20.639
You made that pain enough. I'll try to keep him

1087
01:03:20.639 --> 01:03:23.880
away from you. I only hope he will stay away

1088
01:03:23.920 --> 01:03:24.920
from you. What do you mean by that?

1089
01:03:25.320 --> 01:03:27.840
You've hurt him and his pride slaving You don't understand

1090
01:03:27.880 --> 01:03:30.719
these hindus. You won't come back at you with force,

1091
01:03:31.440 --> 01:03:32.519
but he will come back.

1092
01:03:32.559 --> 01:03:35.320
Oh Willie, Well, he knows who's boss now I'll be

1093
01:03:35.440 --> 01:03:37.800
in Calcutta with this load to night. Tell him to

1094
01:03:37.800 --> 01:03:39.719
get that fruit out of his system while I'm gone.

1095
01:03:40.360 --> 01:03:41.960
If he plays it when I get back, I'll ram

1096
01:03:42.039 --> 01:03:42.840
it down his throat.

1097
01:03:51.320 --> 01:03:52.800
Aren't you going to buy me a drink?

1098
01:03:53.000 --> 01:03:55.199
You don't make me any money, baby, so don't cost

1099
01:03:55.280 --> 01:03:55.760
me anything.

1100
01:03:55.840 --> 01:03:58.000
But I am going to make you money, a lot

1101
01:03:58.119 --> 01:03:58.480
of money.

1102
01:03:58.519 --> 01:04:01.360
You better come up with it fast. My job looks temporary.

1103
01:04:01.800 --> 01:04:03.280
Is tomorrow fast enough?

1104
01:04:03.400 --> 01:04:05.920
Tomorrow and bringing another load of hides down from Katmandu.

1105
01:04:05.960 --> 01:04:06.960
I'm going back there tonight.

1106
01:04:07.079 --> 01:04:08.360
Oh, that will fit in nicely.

1107
01:04:08.960 --> 01:04:11.800
When you leave Katmandu tomorrow you will make a short

1108
01:04:11.880 --> 01:04:15.480
sight trip one start in China, then come back here

1109
01:04:15.480 --> 01:04:17.360
to Calcutta, China.

1110
01:04:17.480 --> 01:04:19.800
Huh, well, now you're beginning to interest me.

1111
01:04:19.920 --> 01:04:20.239
Baby.

1112
01:04:20.920 --> 01:04:21.719
Where in China?

1113
01:04:21.960 --> 01:04:24.639
My friend knows? His name is Karkhanov.

1114
01:04:25.119 --> 01:04:27.119
He will be waiting for you tonight when you return

1115
01:04:27.199 --> 01:04:30.639
to Katmandu, meet him at midnight at the rear of

1116
01:04:30.719 --> 01:04:32.239
Great Temple of Vishnu.

1117
01:04:32.199 --> 01:04:33.000
At edge of town.

1118
01:04:33.480 --> 01:04:34.480
How big is the job?

1119
01:04:34.800 --> 01:04:35.039
Big?

1120
01:04:35.880 --> 01:04:40.000
But very little trouble? That is, if you are not squeenish.

1121
01:04:40.320 --> 01:04:43.480
When I say how big, I mean how much for you?

1122
01:04:44.519 --> 01:04:48.000
Ten thousand American dollars ten thousand.

1123
01:04:49.039 --> 01:04:50.360
How much of that do you expect?

1124
01:04:50.519 --> 01:04:54.039
Oh, KARKANAV pays me. The ten thousand is all yours.

1125
01:04:55.639 --> 01:04:56.880
Now will you buy me a drink?

1126
01:04:57.760 --> 01:04:58.000
Yeah?

1127
01:04:59.159 --> 01:05:00.639
Now, buy both of us a drink.

1128
01:05:11.960 --> 01:05:14.079
Did you know that gasoline is one of the most

1129
01:05:14.199 --> 01:05:19.320
mysterious chemical compounds in the world. Gasoline can contain hundreds

1130
01:05:19.360 --> 01:05:23.159
of different components, but one stands out for its remarkable

1131
01:05:23.199 --> 01:05:27.159
Antono quality. It's xylene. Xylene is one of the highest

1132
01:05:27.199 --> 01:05:31.840
adenoch gasoline components ever discovered, and today xylene is contained

1133
01:05:31.840 --> 01:05:36.760
at every gallon of Richfield gasoline. Xilene in Richfield gasoline

1134
01:05:36.760 --> 01:05:39.719
helps give your car that quick surge of knock free power,

1135
01:05:40.239 --> 01:05:42.480
and you feel the silent power of xylene when you

1136
01:05:42.679 --> 01:05:46.159
zip up a long hill. Moreover, your rich Field dealer

1137
01:05:46.199 --> 01:05:48.920
offers you a choice of two great rich Field gasolines

1138
01:05:48.920 --> 01:05:53.280
with xylene Richfield high octane at regular price for motors

1139
01:05:53.320 --> 01:05:57.679
of average compression and Richfield ethyl from motors of highest compression.

1140
01:05:58.519 --> 01:06:00.559
Let your rich Field dealer help you to side which

1141
01:06:00.679 --> 01:06:04.360
Richfield gasoline is best for your car. Stop where you

1142
01:06:04.480 --> 01:06:07.159
see the Richfield Eagle on the cream and blue pumps.

1143
01:06:08.000 --> 01:06:11.639
Get the gasoline that contains one of the highest antidoc components.

1144
01:06:11.719 --> 01:06:16.599
No one do science get richfield gasoline with xilen. And

1145
01:06:16.719 --> 01:06:20.079
now we return you to escape.

1146
01:06:23.760 --> 01:06:26.480
Ten thousand dollars enough to get out of the trap.

1147
01:06:27.159 --> 01:06:28.719
I can go back to the States on that by

1148
01:06:28.760 --> 01:06:30.840
my own plane, pick up my own spots for a

1149
01:06:30.880 --> 01:06:33.239
smart deal. I thought of it all the way back

1150
01:06:33.239 --> 01:06:36.280
to Katmandu. This would be my last night in that bowl,

1151
01:06:36.880 --> 01:06:40.960
my last night. Black cat calling black cat. This red

1152
01:06:41.039 --> 01:06:42.400
kitten calling black cat over.

1153
01:06:44.119 --> 01:06:46.679
Red kitten pieces black cat, go.

1154
01:06:46.760 --> 01:06:50.480
Ahead, ETA fifteen minutes. Visibility poor, How is it there?

1155
01:06:51.039 --> 01:06:51.239
Poor?

1156
01:06:51.719 --> 01:06:54.840
But all right for landing suh light landing fields on

1157
01:06:55.679 --> 01:06:57.679
on all corners of the field, flares you hear me,

1158
01:06:58.639 --> 01:07:01.559
mister Brant has already have to do that song good?

1159
01:07:02.639 --> 01:07:05.400
Would you like some music, sar?

1160
01:07:06.559 --> 01:07:07.719
What do you mean music?

1161
01:07:08.800 --> 01:07:10.239
My music? Sar?

1162
01:07:15.400 --> 01:07:18.639
Why that dirty little swine just trying to needle me.

1163
01:07:18.679 --> 01:07:20.559
But I wouldn't let him. I couldn't afford it. Now,

1164
01:07:21.559 --> 01:07:24.000
just this one night, I could forget anything thinking about that.

1165
01:07:24.679 --> 01:07:26.920
I spotted the oil fires the four corners of the field,

1166
01:07:26.960 --> 01:07:29.719
bringing a clear spot through the ground Haze. I turned

1167
01:07:29.719 --> 01:07:31.360
on my landing lights and set her down like an

1168
01:07:31.360 --> 01:07:34.639
old lady's rocking chair. I'd never land on this field again.

1169
01:07:35.079 --> 01:07:37.840
I'd use it for one more takeoff tomorrow, but I'd

1170
01:07:37.920 --> 01:07:48.880
never land on it again. I've done not feel fleshlight

1171
01:07:48.960 --> 01:07:51.079
MISTI slavery carcana.

1172
01:07:51.639 --> 01:07:54.559
Where are you on the steps of the temple? No, no, no,

1173
01:07:54.800 --> 01:08:01.800
don't flesh the light? Keep it off? Please, ah, you

1174
01:08:02.679 --> 01:08:03.599
you are very prompt.

1175
01:08:03.679 --> 01:08:05.840
Mister Slavin ten thousand dollars worth.

1176
01:08:06.360 --> 01:08:08.159
What time do you expect to take off tomorrow?

1177
01:08:08.199 --> 01:08:12.280
I'm scheduled to leave for Calcutta and non excellent as

1178
01:08:12.360 --> 01:08:14.960
you have been told, I want you to go into China.

1179
01:08:15.760 --> 01:08:16.399
That's vague.

1180
01:08:16.640 --> 01:08:20.920
It's a big country, inner Mongolia. It's just south of

1181
01:08:21.000 --> 01:08:21.920
the city of Sucho.

1182
01:08:22.720 --> 01:08:25.399
That's about a thousand miles in twelve hundred.

1183
01:08:26.800 --> 01:08:27.479
Here is a map.

1184
01:08:28.840 --> 01:08:32.000
What's the dale on the map is the location of

1185
01:08:32.079 --> 01:08:35.319
a field, not a regular airbase, but good enough for

1186
01:08:35.439 --> 01:08:40.520
a landing. You will time your landing for just before sundown.

1187
01:08:41.199 --> 01:08:44.920
You will take off again almost immediate and return by.

1188
01:08:44.920 --> 01:08:48.560
Night, back over the Humber night. That makes it interesting.

1189
01:08:49.119 --> 01:08:52.159
It will be dull, really, that's all well planned. Thing

1190
01:08:52.239 --> 01:08:57.079
should be dull but profitable. A countryman of mine named

1191
01:08:57.199 --> 01:09:00.520
Leontovich will meet you when you land at Sucho with

1192
01:09:00.720 --> 01:09:03.560
him will be an old Chinese. They will return with

1193
01:09:03.720 --> 01:09:07.640
you too hot format there. The old Chinese is a

1194
01:09:07.720 --> 01:09:11.079
wealthy merchant. He will bring his wealth out with him

1195
01:09:11.960 --> 01:09:15.439
through connections. We have arranged this escape for him.

1196
01:09:15.439 --> 01:09:17.800
Like there's something else you'll have to arrange. I don't

1197
01:09:17.840 --> 01:09:19.760
care enough fuel. Get me the suit you own back

1198
01:09:19.800 --> 01:09:20.439
to Calcutta.

1199
01:09:20.720 --> 01:09:23.399
You will be refueled. Nothing has been overlooked.

1200
01:09:23.479 --> 01:09:25.039
Where do I contact you when I get back.

1201
01:09:25.760 --> 01:09:28.680
When you landed Calcutta, taxi to the north end of

1202
01:09:28.760 --> 01:09:32.319
the field, I will be there with automobile to pick

1203
01:09:32.439 --> 01:09:36.560
up your passenger and his cargo passenger.

1204
01:09:36.920 --> 01:09:38.920
You mean passengers, don't you? You said that be two,

1205
01:09:39.039 --> 01:09:41.319
your man Leontovich and the old Chinese.

1206
01:09:42.800 --> 01:09:44.560
A trifle I forgot to mention.

1207
01:09:45.279 --> 01:09:47.680
They will both start back with you, of course, but

1208
01:09:48.560 --> 01:09:52.840
the old Chinese will not completely trip you.

1209
01:09:52.960 --> 01:09:55.600
Understand, Yeah, I understand.

1210
01:09:57.479 --> 01:09:59.520
He disappeared into the darkness, and I started back to

1211
01:09:59.560 --> 01:10:02.239
the field. The night was full of sound. Even the

1212
01:10:02.279 --> 01:10:04.359
damp heat had a sound of its own, like nothing

1213
01:10:04.399 --> 01:10:05.079
else in the world.

1214
01:10:05.439 --> 01:10:05.680
But that.

1215
01:10:07.159 --> 01:10:16.720
There was something else. Jaffar, Where are you? Jaffar? Jaffar.

1216
01:10:28.239 --> 01:10:29.039
Where are you, Jeaffar?

1217
01:10:30.399 --> 01:10:30.840
Where are you?

1218
01:10:31.560 --> 01:10:32.039
Answer me?

1219
01:10:33.840 --> 01:10:34.399
I'll find you.

1220
01:10:34.760 --> 01:10:36.760
I'll got you what I've got you.

1221
01:10:36.880 --> 01:10:37.319
You dog.

1222
01:10:38.880 --> 01:10:41.640
No no, no, no, no, no, no, no, devil.

1223
01:10:42.199 --> 01:10:45.359
He's riding me. I can't afford to think about him now.

1224
01:10:45.439 --> 01:10:48.119
I gotta think about tomorrow. Just get back to the

1225
01:10:48.199 --> 01:10:59.119
field and think about tomorrow. He was on the field

1226
01:10:59.119 --> 01:11:01.359
in the morning, checking the planes, though nothing had happened.

1227
01:11:02.039 --> 01:11:03.720
But I could see the glitter in his black eyes,

1228
01:11:03.840 --> 01:11:06.600
like the glitter of his snake's I wanted to smash

1229
01:11:06.680 --> 01:11:09.079
his face with my fist, but I couldn't. I had

1230
01:11:09.079 --> 01:11:13.039
to fly out as though nothing was wrong. The motors

1231
01:11:13.079 --> 01:11:15.239
caught sweetly, and I lifted off the strip like a feather,

1232
01:11:15.520 --> 01:11:18.159
and then headed south for Calcutta until I was out

1233
01:11:18.199 --> 01:11:20.119
of side of the field. Then I met a half

1234
01:11:20.159 --> 01:11:22.199
circle to the north and headed for the hump.

1235
01:11:25.479 --> 01:11:25.680
Ah.

1236
01:11:25.760 --> 01:11:28.119
She took it like a swallow, past the white peak

1237
01:11:28.159 --> 01:11:29.840
of Mount Everest, the top of the world, and out

1238
01:11:29.880 --> 01:11:32.760
over the great plateau of Tibet. Then the northern rim

1239
01:11:32.800 --> 01:11:35.039
of the Himalayas did beneath my wings, and I was

1240
01:11:35.079 --> 01:11:37.560
over the hill country of Mongolia. I hit it right

1241
01:11:37.600 --> 01:11:39.600
on the nose the field outside the town of Suchao,

1242
01:11:40.039 --> 01:11:42.039
and made my landing just as the bottom edge of

1243
01:11:42.079 --> 01:11:43.439
the sun was kissing the horizon.

1244
01:11:47.800 --> 01:11:48.920
I am Leantovitch.

1245
01:11:49.119 --> 01:11:51.239
The Chinese have a truck with the fuel quickly. Why

1246
01:11:51.319 --> 01:11:53.159
so many of them, Karkarof said, there'd be one Chinese.

1247
01:11:53.159 --> 01:11:55.039
They are the old man's friends. They come to see

1248
01:11:55.079 --> 01:11:57.079
him more safely. That is why we must go to

1249
01:11:57.199 --> 01:11:59.600
the bother of taking him along for away. All right,

1250
01:11:59.640 --> 01:12:02.279
But what and I'm gonna carter, we've come over to

1251
01:12:02.279 --> 01:12:03.560
the here as we already to dig off.

1252
01:12:03.680 --> 01:12:04.279
Do not be a lot.

1253
01:12:04.319 --> 01:12:05.479
I thought you had everything fixed here.

1254
01:12:05.560 --> 01:12:05.840
Quiet.

1255
01:12:06.119 --> 01:12:07.239
They will not be after us.

1256
01:12:07.319 --> 01:12:09.720
They will take out of the Chinese we leave behind.

1257
01:12:09.720 --> 01:12:11.880
It be any slip ups. Let's get out of here fast.

1258
01:12:12.079 --> 01:12:17.600
Give me that hose up here there were five of

1259
01:12:17.680 --> 01:12:21.520
the Chinese, and deep in their impressive eyes was quiet terror.

1260
01:12:22.439 --> 01:12:24.560
One was an old man clutching a wicker basket, but

1261
01:12:24.800 --> 01:12:26.840
the terror in his eyes was tempered with a glint

1262
01:12:26.880 --> 01:12:29.479
of hope. The others just stared at the plane with

1263
01:12:29.560 --> 01:12:32.159
a terrible yearning. The last of the gas trickled into

1264
01:12:32.159 --> 01:12:34.239
the tanks. We took the hose down, the truck backed off.

1265
01:12:34.279 --> 01:12:36.840
Are you ready, yeah, boost them in calm old one.

1266
01:12:38.840 --> 01:12:41.199
They lifted the old man into the plane and Leontovich

1267
01:12:41.239 --> 01:12:44.279
climbed in after him, closing the hatch. The motors caught

1268
01:12:44.439 --> 01:12:46.159
and I nosed we're into the wind, just as the

1269
01:12:46.199 --> 01:12:48.399
four Chinese on the ground made a dash for the plane.

1270
01:12:48.720 --> 01:12:51.119
The reason was clear, coming across the hill at the

1271
01:12:51.159 --> 01:12:54.119
end of the field and armored car. Hey, what is this?

1272
01:12:54.199 --> 01:12:55.359
They're shooting us.

1273
01:12:55.479 --> 01:12:56.640
But Holly, I'll worry. Here we go.

1274
01:13:00.359 --> 01:13:02.800
Our friends on the ground seemed to be dead. That

1275
01:13:03.000 --> 01:13:05.319
was nicely arranged. Now they won't be able to talk

1276
01:13:05.439 --> 01:13:07.079
about the old man in the cabin.

1277
01:13:07.119 --> 01:13:10.640
He saw nothing. It is almost dark. We can persuade

1278
01:13:10.720 --> 01:13:13.520
him to leave us at any time. Now, wait someplace

1279
01:13:13.560 --> 01:13:19.520
over Tibet. As you say, Karkanorf's man hadn't flown the floor.

1280
01:13:19.960 --> 01:13:21.880
Could see it in his face. And I was thinking,

1281
01:13:21.960 --> 01:13:25.039
thinking about the wicker basket. That was the cargo I

1282
01:13:25.119 --> 01:13:28.079
could carry alone, all alone. I didn't have to land

1283
01:13:28.119 --> 01:13:30.359
at Calcutta. I could go on the Bombay and be

1284
01:13:30.399 --> 01:13:32.279
out of India on the ship to Africa. Before morning.

1285
01:13:33.039 --> 01:13:34.640
The moon was bright over Tibet and it looked like

1286
01:13:34.680 --> 01:13:37.439
a ghost land. The old Chinese seemed to be sleeping.

1287
01:13:37.479 --> 01:13:39.800
When I glanced back, his head bent down over the

1288
01:13:39.840 --> 01:13:43.680
precious basket in his lap. I nodded to Leantovitch. He

1289
01:13:43.840 --> 01:13:47.159
moved slowly, methodically. He slipped an arm under the old

1290
01:13:47.239 --> 01:13:51.439
man's head, jerked an elbow tight against his throat. He

1291
01:13:51.520 --> 01:13:54.199
saw the old man's eyes, the terror and the hope

1292
01:13:54.439 --> 01:13:59.039
mixed with surprise, then realization, then resignation. He slumped in

1293
01:13:59.079 --> 01:14:00.920
the basket, slit to the flo are his feet. I

1294
01:14:01.000 --> 01:14:02.840
set the ship on the automatic pilot and went back

1295
01:14:02.840 --> 01:14:05.520
into the cabin. He is ready to leave us all

1296
01:14:05.560 --> 01:14:06.119
over the hatch.

1297
01:14:06.359 --> 01:14:09.039
You carry him over and dump him out such a shape,

1298
01:14:09.680 --> 01:14:12.199
But at least we shall keep the basket full remembrance.

1299
01:14:12.920 --> 01:14:15.079
He picked the old man up. I opened the hatch.

1300
01:14:15.680 --> 01:14:17.840
As Lantovitch came to the door. He felt the vacuum

1301
01:14:17.880 --> 01:14:20.239
pull of the rushing air sliding past the plane. He

1302
01:14:20.359 --> 01:14:22.560
tried to draw back, but I caught him with my

1303
01:14:22.640 --> 01:14:27.479
foot and humped him both. I was alone in the

1304
01:14:27.520 --> 01:14:30.279
cabin with a basket. When I opened it, I didn't

1305
01:14:30.319 --> 01:14:33.920
even mind the stink of the hides American dollars, British

1306
01:14:34.039 --> 01:14:37.039
pounds and jewelry in a few hours, I'd be sailing

1307
01:14:37.079 --> 01:14:49.920
from Bombay, A millionaire sailing from Bombay. Something goes wrong,

1308
01:14:51.319 --> 01:14:53.760
I felt as I started back over the hump. He

1309
01:14:53.880 --> 01:14:55.960
was pumpy, and the ship slithered and kicked, and there

1310
01:14:56.039 --> 01:14:59.960
was a wall of darkness outside. There was something inside,

1311
01:15:00.159 --> 01:15:03.760
to something or somebody in the cabin of the ship.

1312
01:15:06.159 --> 01:15:08.359
I turned on the cabin lights and looked back and

1313
01:15:08.399 --> 01:15:09.760
there was nothing but a load of hides. But the

1314
01:15:09.800 --> 01:15:12.840
feeling wouldn't go away. I tried to shake it off,

1315
01:15:13.880 --> 01:15:15.800
and a half an hour be passing over Catmando, just

1316
01:15:15.840 --> 01:15:18.520
a sound and a night. I had to have a

1317
01:15:18.560 --> 01:15:20.680
look through the cabin. I set the ship in the

1318
01:15:20.680 --> 01:15:22.960
automatic pilot and slid from the sea, but she bucked

1319
01:15:22.960 --> 01:15:25.920
me and I had to grab the controls. Aunt Everest

1320
01:15:26.039 --> 01:15:30.359
was someplace nearby in the dark. I was sweating. I

1321
01:15:30.399 --> 01:15:32.399
couldn't leave the controls now. I had to stay with them.

1322
01:15:33.159 --> 01:15:35.600
I kept looking back into the cabin with that same feeling,

1323
01:15:36.960 --> 01:15:40.319
and I saw it. I saw something long and thin

1324
01:15:40.479 --> 01:15:44.800
slithering across the hides, A loose rope. I tried to

1325
01:15:44.880 --> 01:15:47.000
tell myself it was a loose rope, but a rope

1326
01:15:47.039 --> 01:15:50.560
doesn't move like that, and the head lifted the hooded

1327
01:15:51.119 --> 01:15:54.239
the hooded head of a cobra, A cobra in the plane.

1328
01:15:54.520 --> 01:15:56.399
Playing in the nearest base was Cotmand, who still twenty

1329
01:15:56.399 --> 01:15:58.199
minutes away. I couldn't take my hands off the control.

1330
01:15:58.479 --> 01:15:59.520
I flicked the radio switch.

1331
01:16:00.319 --> 01:16:03.479
Black cat, This is red kitten calling black cat. Come in,

1332
01:16:03.560 --> 01:16:05.760
black cat, Red kitten calling, Come in, black cat.

1333
01:16:05.880 --> 01:16:10.600
Over black cat to red kit. It is a surprise

1334
01:16:10.720 --> 01:16:14.439
to hear from you, Sar. You should be in Calcutta, Sah.

1335
01:16:14.520 --> 01:16:15.800
You know where I am, You devil, you felt. The

1336
01:16:15.840 --> 01:16:18.359
little devil has my pet awakened.

1337
01:16:19.079 --> 01:16:22.479
He wants to be fed, Sar. The cobra is very

1338
01:16:22.720 --> 01:16:24.199
mean when he is not fed.

1339
01:16:24.319 --> 01:16:25.239
You put him in the plane.

1340
01:16:26.279 --> 01:16:28.520
The sting of the cobra killed swiftly.

1341
01:16:28.720 --> 01:16:35.159
Mister Sabin, What what can I do, Jeffar, I'm begging you.

1342
01:16:35.840 --> 01:16:36.439
What can I do?

1343
01:16:37.640 --> 01:16:42.520
Nothing, Sar, there's nothing you can do. I could help you.

1344
01:16:42.680 --> 01:16:46.920
Getting closer? Please, he's getting closer, please please.

1345
01:16:47.840 --> 01:16:50.239
You do not like my music, Sar.

1346
01:16:51.640 --> 01:16:55.880
Music a sanad on the flute might distract him, but

1347
01:16:56.039 --> 01:16:57.600
you do not care for the flue.

1348
01:16:58.720 --> 01:17:01.479
For heaven's sake, man play it. He's only six feet

1349
01:17:01.479 --> 01:17:01.880
away from me.

1350
01:17:02.680 --> 01:17:06.119
I will play what will you land the cut mountain?

1351
01:17:06.560 --> 01:17:08.479
Yes, yes, only playing play.

1352
01:17:15.840 --> 01:17:20.359
The snake came closer, that ugly hooded head, spreading and

1353
01:17:20.560 --> 01:17:22.600
raising and weaving in time with the music coming over

1354
01:17:22.640 --> 01:17:26.600
the radio. It was only two feet away. Death, only

1355
01:17:26.800 --> 01:17:29.239
two feet away. And if Jaffar stopped playing, he'd strike

1356
01:17:30.159 --> 01:17:33.920
an ugly, ill tempered, hungry cobra. Deadly to anybody but Jaffar,

1357
01:17:33.960 --> 01:17:36.880
who knew when he wanted to be fed. He knew

1358
01:17:36.920 --> 01:17:38.479
the only thing in the world that could hold him

1359
01:17:38.560 --> 01:17:41.720
was that flute. That flute. As long as Jaffar kept playing.

1360
01:17:47.920 --> 01:17:51.079
I was over the hump. I saw the oil fires

1361
01:17:51.119 --> 01:17:53.760
being lit on the strip of black Cat. That meant

1362
01:17:53.800 --> 01:17:57.000
that Grant knew I was coming in. The flat was

1363
01:17:57.079 --> 01:18:00.520
driving me mad. And the cobrat I never knew when

1364
01:18:00.520 --> 01:18:02.479
he'd strike it. Some move into my hands and the controls,

1365
01:18:02.479 --> 01:18:05.039
and yet I had to move into land. Grant, Grant,

1366
01:18:05.039 --> 01:18:05.399
where are you?

1367
01:18:05.960 --> 01:18:06.840
I'm here slaving.

1368
01:18:08.039 --> 01:18:09.399
Please give me landing instructions.

1369
01:18:09.439 --> 01:18:10.359
Please please Grant.

1370
01:18:11.000 --> 01:18:13.840
When you hit the strip, taxi over to the operation

1371
01:18:14.079 --> 01:18:16.680
shack as close as you can get. Jeff far can

1372
01:18:16.800 --> 01:18:19.319
keep the flute going. You'll open the hatch and try

1373
01:18:19.399 --> 01:18:22.199
and distract the snake. Maybe we can get you out.

1374
01:18:22.199 --> 01:18:24.000
Make him keep playing, grand make him keep playing.

1375
01:18:24.680 --> 01:18:28.000
We're coming out to want you're landing. I have the

1376
01:18:28.119 --> 01:18:29.600
police with the slam in.

1377
01:18:30.359 --> 01:18:33.439
Your friends in Calcutta have already been arrested on Jeff

1378
01:18:33.479 --> 01:18:34.319
Farre's information.

1379
01:18:34.600 --> 01:18:36.520
I made my approach to the strip. The head of

1380
01:18:36.560 --> 01:18:38.840
the snake never stopped weaving. I could see, granted the

1381
01:18:38.880 --> 01:18:41.119
police in the light of the oil fires. I'll cut

1382
01:18:41.159 --> 01:18:43.359
the motors dropped down at the edge of the field

1383
01:18:44.359 --> 01:18:47.640
another minute, because Jeff Arker just keep playing another minute.

1384
01:18:48.359 --> 01:18:50.600
I was ready to set her down. The ground was

1385
01:18:51.079 --> 01:18:52.239
right under the wings.

1386
01:18:52.680 --> 01:18:54.199
And then the flute stopped.

1387
01:19:15.600 --> 01:19:19.239
Well, what do you think, officer? Will you live bad

1388
01:19:19.359 --> 01:19:22.479
crash for? Not too bad about your plane? Oh it's

1389
01:19:22.520 --> 01:19:23.520
in short. I'll get another.

1390
01:19:23.800 --> 01:19:25.640
You might possibly get the money in the jewels too.

1391
01:19:25.840 --> 01:19:28.239
Nobody claims them. I doubt if anybody will.

1392
01:19:28.520 --> 01:19:28.960
No matter.

1393
01:19:29.319 --> 01:19:31.960
I only want what is my own well to fire.

1394
01:19:32.079 --> 01:19:32.560
I'm affair.

1395
01:19:32.560 --> 01:19:33.520
I shall have to arrest you.

1396
01:19:34.520 --> 01:19:38.279
Why, Sar, there is no law that says I must

1397
01:19:38.399 --> 01:19:39.479
play my flute.

1398
01:19:39.880 --> 01:19:42.479
No, but you deliberately put the snake in the plane.

1399
01:19:43.239 --> 01:19:46.840
The snake lies there dead, Sar. Have you examined it.

1400
01:19:47.640 --> 01:19:51.640
It is not poisonous. The poison sack and the fanes

1401
01:19:52.359 --> 01:19:53.840
I removed long ago.

1402
01:19:54.840 --> 01:19:56.960
You mean the snake couldn't have hurt him.

1403
01:19:57.359 --> 01:19:59.840
He couldn't have been killed by that snake anymore than

1404
01:19:59.840 --> 01:20:02.000
he would have been shot by an unloaded gun.

1405
01:20:02.640 --> 01:20:04.279
I did not harm him, sir.

1406
01:20:05.279 --> 01:20:10.359
My people do not use violence. It is against our belief.

1407
01:20:12.720 --> 01:20:16.039
I say, there's a strange one. No matter how long

1408
01:20:16.079 --> 01:20:18.800
I'm out here, I'll never understand him.

1409
01:20:20.000 --> 01:20:23.680
Now I will slavin I'm afraid I better cover him.

1410
01:20:24.520 --> 01:20:25.000
He's dead.

1411
01:20:38.399 --> 01:20:42.000
Here's a weather forecast that's guaranteed to be accurate. There

1412
01:20:42.119 --> 01:20:44.920

Featured in the cast where Charles mc graw has Slavin,

1430

arranged and played by Ivan Detmein.

1433
01:22:05.920 --> 01:22:11.439
When it comes to interpersonal dealings, I don't know that

1434
01:22:11.600 --> 01:22:17.720
I'm an expert expert, but perhaps I am experienced enough.

1435
01:22:18.560 --> 01:22:19.800
Or what's that? Oh?

1436
01:22:21.000 --> 01:22:26.640
No reason, no reason at all, my dear, Please get comfortable. Please,

1437
01:22:27.640 --> 01:22:31.079
we have so much more to explore and I can't

1438
01:22:31.159 --> 01:22:35.520
wait to do it. All I was getting at is that,

1439
01:22:36.840 --> 01:22:41.800
in a way, when you go tett tet with someone,

1440
01:22:43.319 --> 01:22:48.079
it's like a card game. You're playing exactly the cards

1441
01:22:48.079 --> 01:22:51.960
you're dealt, and hopefully you know how to play them,

1442
01:22:53.319 --> 01:22:58.279
and hopefully you're carrying the ace of death.

1443
01:23:06.680 --> 01:23:16.239
Murder, Ah Midnight, your card, mister Thompson, the King of Heart,

1444
01:23:16.479 --> 01:23:20.119
Colonel Moore, the Fire Clubs was President Countrie.

1445
01:23:21.319 --> 01:23:22.399
Come count we are waiting.

1446
01:23:22.920 --> 01:23:24.000
What is your card?

1447
01:23:24.920 --> 01:23:41.279
Blass this father? I beg your pardon? The Ace of Death. Midnight,

1448
01:23:41.800 --> 01:23:43.960
the witching hour, when the night is darkest.

1449
01:23:44.359 --> 01:23:47.640
Our fear is the strongest, and our strength at its

1450
01:23:47.760 --> 01:23:54.239
lowest end, midnight, when the graves gape open and death strikes.

1451
01:23:54.880 --> 01:23:57.720
How you'll learn the answer in just a minute. And

1452
01:23:58.319 --> 01:24:19.399
the Ace of Death and now murdered at midnight Tales

1453
01:24:19.479 --> 01:24:21.800
of Mystery and Terror by radio's.

1454
01:24:21.479 --> 01:24:22.600
Masters of the Macaque.

1455
01:24:23.359 --> 01:24:27.119
Our story based on Robert Lewis Stevenson's Immortal Suicide Club

1456
01:24:27.279 --> 01:24:28.359
is by Max Elick.

1457
01:24:28.760 --> 01:24:31.199
Its title The Ace of Death.

1458
01:24:40.319 --> 01:24:42.800
I stood there on the bridge and stared down into

1459
01:24:42.840 --> 01:24:46.680
the swirling fog. It hid the river like a white shroud.

1460
01:24:46.800 --> 01:24:50.880
I shivered to be cold down there, freezing cold. I

1461
01:24:50.960 --> 01:24:54.119
would go down down, deep into the black watery depths,

1462
01:24:54.199 --> 01:24:57.079
my ears bursting and my lungs fighting for breath. And

1463
01:24:57.199 --> 01:25:06.800
then finally there would be silence, silence and eternal peace.

1464
01:25:08.199 --> 01:25:08.520
Mhm.

1465
01:25:09.279 --> 01:25:13.960
Somewhere a clock began to chime eleven, the last hour,

1466
01:25:14.800 --> 01:25:19.439
the last hour of a man's life. My life, I

1467
01:25:19.760 --> 01:25:23.920
John Evans ill and broke without family or friends. Sick

1468
01:25:24.560 --> 01:25:28.399
and weary of the constant struggle among earth bound mortals.

1469
01:25:29.239 --> 01:25:31.520
Looked forward to my new future.

1470
01:25:32.720 --> 01:25:32.920
Death.

1471
01:25:34.880 --> 01:25:38.479
I put one foot over the bridge rail. My heart pounded,

1472
01:25:39.159 --> 01:25:42.800
my head throbbed, and then someone came out of the

1473
01:25:42.880 --> 01:25:45.079
mist and seized me from behind.

1474
01:25:44.880 --> 01:25:48.640
Me let me go.

1475
01:25:48.840 --> 01:25:50.760
Well, I still got what I've got to say.

1476
01:25:51.079 --> 01:25:52.279
Why did you stop me?

1477
01:25:53.119 --> 01:25:54.760
Why I wanted to die?

1478
01:25:54.960 --> 01:25:58.159
I wanted to sympathize with you, young man. You see,

1479
01:25:58.199 --> 01:26:01.079
I too, am tired of life and seek death. You

1480
01:26:02.600 --> 01:26:05.279
you want to die, yes, but not by drowning. No,

1481
01:26:05.520 --> 01:26:08.399
my boy, I've made other arrangements. The river is not

1482
01:26:08.520 --> 01:26:11.199
only a dull way to die, it's positively sordid. The

1483
01:26:11.319 --> 01:26:13.479
very idea makes me shudder with distaste.

1484
01:26:13.560 --> 01:26:14.840
Wait, I don't understand.

1485
01:26:14.920 --> 01:26:17.960
That's very simple, young man. Most of us are too

1486
01:26:18.239 --> 01:26:21.680
commonplace about the about the hereafter. We entered with morbid

1487
01:26:21.840 --> 01:26:26.479
fear and without imagination. Actually, death can be glorious, glorious, yes,

1488
01:26:26.640 --> 01:26:30.760
a great new change from our ordinary lifetime routine, a

1489
01:26:30.880 --> 01:26:34.680
journey into an uncharted world. A man should meet death

1490
01:26:34.720 --> 01:26:37.279
on the wings of adventure. It should be an exciting

1491
01:26:37.359 --> 01:26:38.720
and delightful experience.

1492
01:26:38.840 --> 01:26:41.079
Death exciting and delightful.

1493
01:26:41.239 --> 01:26:44.920
Not I've already arranged my decease along these lines. And

1494
01:26:45.000 --> 01:26:47.600
since you and I have an interest in common, why

1495
01:26:47.720 --> 01:26:52.279
not join me? Ah, we'll seek death's private door together. Come,

1496
01:26:52.359 --> 01:26:55.000
young man, come along with me? Where to my club?

1497
01:26:55.439 --> 01:26:58.119
I'll be glad to recommend you for membership. Your club, Yes,

1498
01:26:58.560 --> 01:27:00.720
it caters to a clear and tell of gentlemen like ourself.

1499
01:27:01.199 --> 01:27:10.039
We call it the Hereafter Club. The whole thing was mad, insane,

1500
01:27:10.560 --> 01:27:14.760
and yet yet it was intriguing too. I looked hard

1501
01:27:14.840 --> 01:27:16.880
at the elderly gentleman who'd come out of the fog

1502
01:27:16.960 --> 01:27:19.000
to pull me from the brink of death, only to

1503
01:27:19.079 --> 01:27:23.000
offer me a pleasanter and more delightful variety. Later, he

1504
01:27:23.159 --> 01:27:25.279
repeated his invitation to join him, and I.

1505
01:27:25.319 --> 01:27:27.079
Could see that he was perfectly sincere.

1506
01:27:28.319 --> 01:27:31.439
I decided to go with him, even though I secretly

1507
01:27:31.479 --> 01:27:35.239
considered him some kind of a madman. After all, what

1508
01:27:35.479 --> 01:27:36.600
could I lose?

1509
01:27:37.199 --> 01:27:37.399
Now?

1510
01:27:40.239 --> 01:27:42.359
We took a cab and stopped at a grim looking

1511
01:27:42.439 --> 01:27:45.079
building in the Silk Stocking district on the east side.

1512
01:27:45.720 --> 01:27:48.880
My elderly friend, whom I now knew as Frederic Whitney,

1513
01:27:48.920 --> 01:27:51.960
took me into a luxurious reception room and asked me

1514
01:27:52.079 --> 01:27:56.880
to wait there until he saw the president of the club. Finally,

1515
01:27:57.199 --> 01:28:00.800
the president himself came out to greet me. He was

1516
01:28:00.880 --> 01:28:04.000
a man of about fifty, with a bold spot on

1517
01:28:04.119 --> 01:28:07.760
his head, piercing gray eyes, and a thin mouth. He

1518
01:28:07.920 --> 01:28:11.680
smiled and extended his hand to me. Welcome to the

1519
01:28:11.760 --> 01:28:15.520
Hereafter Club, mister Evans, Thank you, mister president. Mister Whitney

1520
01:28:15.520 --> 01:28:18.119
has recommended you very highly, and I am delighted to

1521
01:28:18.199 --> 01:28:22.479
count you among our members. I am pretty vague as

1522
01:28:22.560 --> 01:28:26.239
too what all this is about, but mister Whitney mentioned

1523
01:28:26.319 --> 01:28:28.880
something about a four hundred dollars initiation fee.

1524
01:28:28.880 --> 01:28:31.960
In Well, I'm afraid I, my boy.

1525
01:28:32.119 --> 01:28:34.760
Mister Whitney knew you were in delicate financial straits and

1526
01:28:34.840 --> 01:28:38.479
took your initiation fee upon himself. Oh, you were fortunate, indeed,

1527
01:28:38.560 --> 01:28:40.880
mister Evans, that he happened along and rescued you from

1528
01:28:40.920 --> 01:28:43.680
the river. Such a morbid way of entering the Hereafter

1529
01:28:43.880 --> 01:28:47.840
would have been tragic. Indeed, isn't death in any form

1530
01:28:48.319 --> 01:28:51.640
a tragic by no means, mister Evans, death can be

1531
01:28:51.720 --> 01:28:55.359
a triumph, a fine heady wine when so designed by

1532
01:28:55.399 --> 01:28:56.000
a connoisseur.

1533
01:28:56.720 --> 01:28:59.920
Come, mister Evans, follow me, you were about to embark.

1534
01:29:00.319 --> 01:29:09.640
I'm an exciting and unforgettable experience, like a man in

1535
01:29:09.720 --> 01:29:12.720
a dream. I followed the President into a large room.

1536
01:29:13.680 --> 01:29:16.520
There was a green baized table in the center of it,

1537
01:29:16.600 --> 01:29:19.840
and several men in evening dress lounged around the room,

1538
01:29:19.960 --> 01:29:24.960
drinking champagne. They seemed a nervous and distraught, and when

1539
01:29:25.000 --> 01:29:27.520
they laughed, it was high pitched and too loud.

1540
01:29:28.399 --> 01:29:31.079
They seemed to be waiting for something to happen, some

1541
01:29:31.439 --> 01:29:34.399
event to begin. As the President and I stood at

1542
01:29:34.439 --> 01:29:37.640
the door, he turned to me and smiled. These men,

1543
01:29:37.760 --> 01:29:38.760
mister Evans.

1544
01:29:38.560 --> 01:29:42.239
Are charter members of the Hereafter Club. They come from

1545
01:29:42.279 --> 01:29:45.760
all walks of life, but they have one common desire.

1546
01:29:47.239 --> 01:29:52.600
I see and what happens now? Our procedure is very simple.

1547
01:29:52.920 --> 01:29:55.600
We all play a game of cards, a game of guy,

1548
01:29:55.760 --> 01:29:59.119
A simple but fascinating game of cards. That is, these

1549
01:29:59.199 --> 01:30:02.000
gentlemen play as president of the Hereafter Club.

1550
01:30:02.119 --> 01:30:04.439
I am the dealer, and what is the.

1551
01:30:04.479 --> 01:30:07.520
Game, Each man draws a card and turns it face up.

1552
01:30:08.119 --> 01:30:10.159
The man who is fortunate enough to draw the Ace

1553
01:30:10.199 --> 01:30:14.680
of spades dies, for this is the card of death.

1554
01:30:15.159 --> 01:30:18.560
And how does he die? By the hand of the

1555
01:30:18.640 --> 01:30:20.439
man who draws the Ace of clubs?

1556
01:30:21.039 --> 01:30:22.000
Oh, I see the.

1557
01:30:22.479 --> 01:30:27.199
Ace of clubs eliminate the Ace of spades precisely.

1558
01:30:29.439 --> 01:30:30.800
How many of these games you play?

1559
01:30:30.920 --> 01:30:31.760
Night? Just one?

1560
01:30:32.399 --> 01:30:34.760
But as you can see, mister Evans, during its course,

1561
01:30:35.039 --> 01:30:38.000
a man can live a lifetime of adventure. Or this

1562
01:30:38.159 --> 01:30:40.960
makes of death an exciting game of chance, a game

1563
01:30:41.000 --> 01:30:43.880
to whip the blood and make the pulses race. You see,

1564
01:30:43.920 --> 01:30:46.000
one ever knows whether he will draw the fatal ace

1565
01:30:46.039 --> 01:30:49.119
of spades tonight, or whether he will survive for weeks

1566
01:30:49.479 --> 01:30:52.880
or even months. A question, mister President, Yes, how much

1567
01:30:52.920 --> 01:30:54.000
of this can a man stand?

1568
01:30:54.319 --> 01:30:56.279
I can only answer in this way, mister Evans.

1569
01:30:56.680 --> 01:30:59.359
Our members always come back to the hereafter club, night

1570
01:30:59.479 --> 01:31:02.640
after night, until they draw the Ace of spades.

1571
01:31:03.079 --> 01:31:06.920
Once a devotee of the game, it's impossible to resist. Robert.

1572
01:31:07.000 --> 01:31:14.359
Come, We're ready to begin. In a kind of hypnotic trance.

1573
01:31:14.439 --> 01:31:14.920
I followed.

1574
01:31:14.960 --> 01:31:18.760
The President entered the room, for when the members saw him,

1575
01:31:19.079 --> 01:31:24.279
their conversation stopped. Suddenly, they put down their champagne glasses, straightened,

1576
01:31:24.880 --> 01:31:28.880
their faces grew pale and tense, their eyes brilliant with

1577
01:31:28.960 --> 01:31:32.920
a mixture of fear and anticipation. The President took a

1578
01:31:32.960 --> 01:31:35.880
fresh pack of cards from his pocket, and, like a

1579
01:31:36.119 --> 01:31:40.079
magnet attracting iron filings, the men drew close to the

1580
01:31:40.159 --> 01:31:43.680
bay's covered table. I found myself standing next to Frederick

1581
01:31:43.720 --> 01:31:48.439
Whitney as the President spoked, gentlemen of the Hereafter Club,

1582
01:31:49.319 --> 01:31:53.439
the game is about to begin. Someone here tonight will

1583
01:31:53.520 --> 01:31:57.279
draw the ace of spades, whoever he is. Let me

1584
01:31:57.359 --> 01:31:59.680
assure him that we will arrange his death so that

1585
01:31:59.760 --> 01:32:02.119
it will appeared to be an accident, with no breath

1586
01:32:02.199 --> 01:32:05.239
of scandal, and with no unnecessary anguish to his family.

1587
01:32:06.199 --> 01:32:07.399
We all know that life is.

1588
01:32:07.399 --> 01:32:10.079
Only a stage to play the fool upon as long

1589
01:32:10.119 --> 01:32:12.880
as the part amuses us. Now, we are wearied of

1590
01:32:12.960 --> 01:32:16.199
our daily performance and have chosen a civilized and exciting

1591
01:32:16.279 --> 01:32:17.720
way to quit that stage.

1592
01:32:18.560 --> 01:32:23.199
Gentlemen, Bladdy, it was a.

1593
01:32:23.319 --> 01:32:28.720
Fantastic, weird, monstrous experience the Green Bay's table, the President

1594
01:32:28.800 --> 01:32:31.239
puffing on his cigar and dealing a car to each man,

1595
01:32:31.399 --> 01:32:34.800
face down, each man his face like a graven image.

1596
01:32:35.039 --> 01:32:35.960
Turning his card up.

1597
01:32:36.399 --> 01:32:39.640
I could feel the sweat pouring down my forehead. My

1598
01:32:39.800 --> 01:32:42.720
heart pounded like a hammer, and next to me, Frederick

1599
01:32:42.760 --> 01:32:45.800
Quitney stood rigid, his eyes shining as the President's voice

1600
01:32:46.079 --> 01:32:50.880
drawn down. Mister Thompson, your card here for three times,

1601
01:32:51.199 --> 01:32:56.800
Colonel Moore, the sixth hurts, Mister Dennison, It's it's the

1602
01:32:56.920 --> 01:33:02.479
Jacob Spades, Count Rizzine, the eighth of Clubs, mister Evans,

1603
01:33:03.000 --> 01:33:14.359
our new member, the Queen of Heart, mister Whitney, mister Whitney,

1604
01:33:14.439 --> 01:33:21.600
what is your card? The eight of Clubs. Well, mister Whitney, congratulations,

1605
01:33:22.239 --> 01:33:25.760
you shall be the official agent for tonight. Now let

1606
01:33:25.840 --> 01:33:30.479
us see whom you will guide into the hereafter Frederick

1607
01:33:30.520 --> 01:33:32.800
Whitney left the game and went directly in the President's

1608
01:33:32.840 --> 01:33:35.640
private office, there was only one card to be drawn, now,

1609
01:33:36.039 --> 01:33:39.920
the ace of death. The tension was almost unbearable. I

1610
01:33:40.000 --> 01:33:42.439
felt like running away from that table, streaming at the

1611
01:33:42.520 --> 01:33:46.199
top of my voice, but I didn't. I only stood there, riveted,

1612
01:33:46.359 --> 01:33:50.399
staring at those cards, listening to the President's hypnotic voice.

1613
01:33:50.560 --> 01:33:54.720
Mister Benedict Jay of s page, mister Wallace, nine of Diamonds,

1614
01:33:55.079 --> 01:34:02.640
mister Thompson, the King of Heart, Colonel Moore, five Clubs,

1615
01:34:03.159 --> 01:34:06.840
Count Rizzini, Count Razzini, we are waiting.

1616
01:34:07.560 --> 01:34:08.640
What is your card?

1617
01:34:09.720 --> 01:34:16.520
Asody's father, I beg your pardon the ace of death. Oh,

1618
01:34:19.279 --> 01:34:22.159
I stumbled from that horrible place into the cold night air.

1619
01:34:22.600 --> 01:34:24.880
I went directly to my room, shaken to the core

1620
01:34:24.960 --> 01:34:28.279
at what I had seen in the cold gray light

1621
01:34:28.399 --> 01:34:30.680
of the morning. It took on the aspect of a

1622
01:34:30.800 --> 01:34:36.920
bad dream, a macabre nightmare. I resolved to shrug it off,

1623
01:34:37.039 --> 01:34:41.039
forget the whole thing. So when I bought a newspaper,

1624
01:34:41.560 --> 01:34:45.039
the headline struck me like the blow of a hammer. Quickly,

1625
01:34:45.159 --> 01:34:49.680
my heart beating wildly, I rest a laid paragraph. Count

1626
01:34:50.199 --> 01:34:56.159
Pietro Rizzini, prominent Italian nobleman, was hit and instantly killed

1627
01:34:56.199 --> 01:34:59.039
at midnight when he stepped off the curb into the

1628
01:34:59.079 --> 01:35:02.720
path of a speeding taxicab. The Count, who had recently

1629
01:35:02.800 --> 01:35:06.239
lost his fortune, was with a friend, mister Frederick Whitney,

1630
01:35:06.279 --> 01:35:07.920
when the unfortunate accident occurred.

1631
01:35:10.720 --> 01:35:13.319
And so, in the darkness of the night, a man

1632
01:35:13.479 --> 01:35:16.039
who has played a grim game and lost goes to

1633
01:35:16.119 --> 01:35:22.920
his death as the clock strikes twelve for murder. Me,

1634
01:35:39.720 --> 01:35:48.319
and now here is John Evans again to continue his story. Yes,

1635
01:35:48.399 --> 01:35:51.720
the Hereafter Club was really a murder club, a racket

1636
01:35:51.960 --> 01:35:54.760
conceived and created by the polished gentleman who called himself

1637
01:35:54.800 --> 01:35:57.720
the President. He made a game of death and grew

1638
01:35:57.840 --> 01:36:00.560
rich on it. For each night, although he a member,

1639
01:36:00.640 --> 01:36:03.720
he made four hundred dollars the members initiation fee, and

1640
01:36:03.840 --> 01:36:07.319
as the members dropped out. According to Hoyle, there were

1641
01:36:07.359 --> 01:36:11.119
always plenty of disillusioned neophytes like myself ready to replace them.

1642
01:36:12.640 --> 01:36:16.159
My first impulse after reading that grizzly newspaper announcement was

1643
01:36:16.239 --> 01:36:19.159
to run to the police. But I had pledged my

1644
01:36:19.239 --> 01:36:23.880
word to secrecy, and besides, besides, I wanted to go back.

1645
01:36:24.600 --> 01:36:26.399
I had to go back. The thrill of the game

1646
01:36:26.520 --> 01:36:28.600
was in my blood. I fought to resist it, but

1647
01:36:29.680 --> 01:36:33.920
it was like a hypnotic drug. Time after time, I

1648
01:36:34.079 --> 01:36:38.600
went back to the Green Bay's table. And then one night,

1649
01:36:39.560 --> 01:36:43.680
your card, mister Whitney, Come sir, what is your card?

1650
01:36:44.439 --> 01:36:46.000
The Ace of Spades.

1651
01:36:48.039 --> 01:36:51.079
Now, my friend Frederick Whitney, the man who'd introduced me

1652
01:36:51.119 --> 01:36:53.600
into the here Attic Club, had drawn the ace of death.

1653
01:36:54.239 --> 01:36:55.119
His string had run out.

1654
01:36:55.199 --> 01:36:55.640
He's true.

1655
01:36:56.840 --> 01:37:00.479
I stared at him. He was calm, and there was

1656
01:37:00.520 --> 01:37:03.159
a half smile on his face. He seemed almost glad

1657
01:37:03.199 --> 01:37:06.479
that for him the game was ever The President kept

1658
01:37:06.520 --> 01:37:10.680
on a deal. Mister Thompson, your car, the Jacob Hart,

1659
01:37:11.359 --> 01:37:16.159
Colonel Moore, the full of speech, mister Denison, the the

1660
01:37:16.239 --> 01:37:21.119
Ace of Diamonds, mister Benedict Kenneth, clud mister Evans.

1661
01:37:21.720 --> 01:37:22.600
They were waiting for me.

1662
01:37:23.079 --> 01:37:31.199
Come, Come, mister Evans, your card, the Ace of Clubs. Congratulations,

1663
01:37:31.279 --> 01:37:34.479
mister Evans, only your sixth evening at our club, and

1664
01:37:34.600 --> 01:37:37.439
you draw a winning card. Now, if you'll join mister

1665
01:37:37.479 --> 01:37:41.680
Whitney and myself in my private office, we'll arrange ready tails.

1666
01:37:43.279 --> 01:37:50.600
All the instructions were simple.

1667
01:37:51.279 --> 01:37:53.880
I was to drive mister Whitney into the garage of

1668
01:37:53.920 --> 01:37:56.800
his home, leave him in the car with the motor running.

1669
01:37:57.640 --> 01:38:00.720
That was all, and so with a word, I got

1670
01:38:00.760 --> 01:38:03.680
behind the wheel and drove my elderly benefactor to the

1671
01:38:03.720 --> 01:38:04.520
appointed place.

1672
01:38:06.119 --> 01:38:07.920
We looked at each other there in the garage, and

1673
01:38:08.000 --> 01:38:11.079
then he said, gone, if anyone had to draw the

1674
01:38:11.119 --> 01:38:12.640
Ace of Clubs, I'm glad it was.

1675
01:38:12.640 --> 01:38:15.520
You now, mister Whitney, Look here, I don't want to

1676
01:38:15.640 --> 01:38:18.960
kill you. I you know, I don't let's end this farcet.

1677
01:38:19.039 --> 01:38:21.359
Let's go to the police and end this monstrous thing.

1678
01:38:21.439 --> 01:38:24.319
No, John, you forget I am a murderer. I have

1679
01:38:24.399 --> 01:38:25.119
already killed.

1680
01:38:26.119 --> 01:38:29.680
I'd rather die a carbon monoxide gas in this comparatively

1681
01:38:29.840 --> 01:38:32.000
painless way and in the electric chair.

1682
01:38:32.319 --> 01:38:35.279
But the police will never know that you were responsible

1683
01:38:35.319 --> 01:38:36.239
for Ratzini's death.

1684
01:38:36.560 --> 01:38:39.439
If we expose it hereafter club, the president would be

1685
01:38:39.800 --> 01:38:40.680
sure to tell him.

1686
01:38:41.039 --> 01:38:44.359
There must be away somehow. Oh, my boy, I have

1687
01:38:44.520 --> 01:38:47.920
chosen death. My time has come. No way, I'm glad

1688
01:38:48.960 --> 01:38:50.079
everything is resolved.

1689
01:38:50.920 --> 01:38:52.079
There is no more waiting.

1690
01:38:52.399 --> 01:38:54.680
Waiting for the fatal card. It's over.

1691
01:38:54.800 --> 01:39:00.600
Now, go, my boy, leave the garage so I'm the No.

1692
01:39:00.880 --> 01:39:03.840
No, mister Whitney, for God's sake, turn off the motor

1693
01:39:03.920 --> 01:39:06.319
before go go down the forest to late hurry.

1694
01:39:06.600 --> 01:39:09.359
Don't worry about me. I have sought death for weeks.

1695
01:39:09.600 --> 01:39:13.880
Now I welcome it, meet it gladly. And I staggered

1696
01:39:13.920 --> 01:39:15.960
to the garage door, went out and slammed it shut.

1697
01:39:19.079 --> 01:39:23.800
I heard the motor still going. Five minutes, ten minutes.

1698
01:39:25.359 --> 01:39:27.680
I knew that it was the end.

1699
01:39:27.720 --> 01:39:32.159
Now for Frederick Whitney. I looked at my luminescent watch.

1700
01:39:34.199 --> 01:39:43.000
It was just midnight. I walked the streets for hours

1701
01:39:43.039 --> 01:39:43.439
after that.

1702
01:39:45.039 --> 01:39:48.359
Now I was a murderer. True, I had killed with

1703
01:39:48.479 --> 01:39:50.159
my victim's consent, but I had killed.

1704
01:39:51.399 --> 01:39:51.560
Now.

1705
01:39:51.680 --> 01:39:53.920
As the dawn came, I began to shake with a

1706
01:39:54.039 --> 01:39:57.319
cold rage against the connoisseur of death who called himself

1707
01:39:57.439 --> 01:40:02.680
the president. Men killed, men died, and he profited without risk.

1708
01:40:03.279 --> 01:40:06.520
He always dealt the game and never participated. He was

1709
01:40:06.560 --> 01:40:10.239
a prince of ruin, and unfortunate men like myself could

1710
01:40:10.319 --> 01:40:11.760
not resist what he had to offer.

1711
01:40:12.640 --> 01:40:14.920
And so, like a smiling satan.

1712
01:40:14.640 --> 01:40:18.439
Informal clothes, exerting a demoniac's spell upon the fools who

1713
01:40:18.520 --> 01:40:24.039
played his game, he watched them destroy each other. That night,

1714
01:40:24.079 --> 01:40:26.319
I went to the Hereafter Club, and just before the game,

1715
01:40:26.399 --> 01:40:29.880
confronted him. Ah, good evening, mister Evans. I see you

1716
01:40:29.920 --> 01:40:32.760
are back again to night. Yes, mister President, I am

1717
01:40:32.840 --> 01:40:36.960
back again, and I want to congratulate you. Indeed on

1718
01:40:37.199 --> 01:40:41.560
what on your financial vision in starting this club, By

1719
01:40:41.640 --> 01:40:45.159
simple mathematics, it nets you a handsome prophet. We play

1720
01:40:45.359 --> 01:40:48.520
five evenings a week, and each evening you make four

1721
01:40:48.600 --> 01:40:52.720
hundred dollars. That, mister President, adds up to two thousand dollars.

1722
01:40:52.720 --> 01:40:53.039
A week.

1723
01:40:53.159 --> 01:40:55.239
Yes, it's a tidy sum, mister Evans, to be sure.

1724
01:40:55.399 --> 01:40:58.000
But to tell you the truth, to night we play

1725
01:40:58.039 --> 01:41:00.600
our last game, our last game. Yes, to be frank

1726
01:41:00.640 --> 01:41:02.319
with you, mister Evans, the sport of the game is

1727
01:41:02.359 --> 01:41:05.159
beginning to pall on me. I've decided to retire to

1728
01:41:05.239 --> 01:41:07.560
the country and pursue the delights of horticulture.

1729
01:41:07.840 --> 01:41:09.000
Flowers are my hobby, you know.

1730
01:41:09.680 --> 01:41:13.319
Oh, I see even you can tire of sending men

1731
01:41:13.439 --> 01:41:14.159
to their debts.

1732
01:41:14.600 --> 01:41:16.600
And just what do you mean by that, mister Evans.

1733
01:41:16.640 --> 01:41:18.119
I mean that you are a coward.

1734
01:41:18.199 --> 01:41:21.640
Mister President, You have created a monstrous game, and yet

1735
01:41:21.680 --> 01:41:23.560
you haven't the courage to play it yourself.

1736
01:41:23.640 --> 01:41:26.439
You question my courage, then, mister Evans, I do, and.

1737
01:41:26.560 --> 01:41:29.159
I question your honor too. It seems to me that

1738
01:41:29.239 --> 01:41:31.199
if you profit by your clients, you should take the

1739
01:41:31.239 --> 01:41:34.239
same risk they do. H you are a very impertinent

1740
01:41:34.319 --> 01:41:36.880
young man. But I cannot let your accusations go without

1741
01:41:36.920 --> 01:41:41.760
rebuttal indeed, it might be an interesting experience to play

1742
01:41:41.840 --> 01:41:45.000
this last game myself, a kind of fitting climax to

1743
01:41:45.039 --> 01:41:48.439
a successful career. Of course, mister Evans, I'll demand a

1744
01:41:48.600 --> 01:41:50.239
hensome apology when it's over.

1745
01:41:50.600 --> 01:41:53.359
You don't mean that you are actually going to take

1746
01:41:53.359 --> 01:41:53.760
a chance.

1747
01:41:53.840 --> 01:41:54.399
Yes, why not.

1748
01:41:55.079 --> 01:41:57.680
I've often been intrigued by the excitement of my clients.

1749
01:41:58.359 --> 01:42:02.039
Now I might as well say that excite myself before

1750
01:42:02.079 --> 01:42:11.039
I close the Hereafter club. The news that the President

1751
01:42:11.159 --> 01:42:13.640
was going to play created a sensation among the members.

1752
01:42:14.119 --> 01:42:18.279
He dealt around, and then another, and the third time around,

1753
01:42:18.319 --> 01:42:20.880
for the second night in a row. I drew the

1754
01:42:21.000 --> 01:42:25.800
murder card, the ace of clubs. The President smiled his

1755
01:42:25.920 --> 01:42:29.880
congratulations of what he called my phenomenal luck, and continued,

1756
01:42:30.239 --> 01:42:35.359
mister Thompson, your card there to spade, Colonel Moore, the

1757
01:42:35.479 --> 01:42:40.359
King of Hearts, mister Dennison, seven of clubs, mister Benedict,

1758
01:42:40.479 --> 01:42:44.960
Queen of Diamond, and now, gentlemen, I'll turn over my

1759
01:42:45.159 --> 01:42:52.359
own God congratulations, mister President, you have drawn the Ace

1760
01:42:52.439 --> 01:42:59.720
of Spades. The President's face was immobile, not an eye

1761
01:42:59.760 --> 01:43:03.399
lad flickered. We went into his private office, and his

1762
01:43:03.560 --> 01:43:07.199
words were calm as he explained the evening's arrangements. I

1763
01:43:07.359 --> 01:43:09.239
had drawn the murdered card, and he had drawn the

1764
01:43:09.319 --> 01:43:14.199
death card. Yet, judging by his unworried attitude and serene bearing,

1765
01:43:14.279 --> 01:43:15.159
it might have been the other way.

1766
01:43:15.199 --> 01:43:15.520
Around.

1767
01:43:16.560 --> 01:43:19.840
I couldn't help a flicker of admiration for him. As

1768
01:43:19.920 --> 01:43:22.800
for me, I was eager to do my part to

1769
01:43:23.039 --> 01:43:25.680
kill this man who had been caught at the last

1770
01:43:25.720 --> 01:43:28.239
moment in his own net. He had sent many a

1771
01:43:28.359 --> 01:43:30.720
man to his death, and now he had to meet

1772
01:43:30.760 --> 01:43:34.199
it himself. Where is a railroad bridge on the outskirts

1773
01:43:34.239 --> 01:43:36.760
of town, mister Evans. It has a low railing, and

1774
01:43:36.840 --> 01:43:40.920
below it an express train passes exactly at midnight. You

1775
01:43:41.000 --> 01:43:43.319
will push me over that rail, into the path of

1776
01:43:43.399 --> 01:43:47.399
the locomotive. And now, if you are ready, let us go.

1777
01:43:51.640 --> 01:43:53.640
We didn't speak on the trip out to the bridge.

1778
01:43:54.640 --> 01:44:02.840
It was a cold night. We stood there shivering and waiting. Finally,

1779
01:44:04.079 --> 01:44:13.680
in the distance, that was it, the midnight train. I

1780
01:44:13.720 --> 01:44:17.079
could see its bright headlight flickering as it approached. Then

1781
01:44:17.159 --> 01:44:20.279
the President spoke, mister Evans, of course we are not

1782
01:44:20.399 --> 01:44:21.079
going through with this.

1783
01:44:21.960 --> 01:44:23.880
Of course we are, mister President.

1784
01:44:24.359 --> 01:44:26.880
Look here, my dear boy. As you know, the Hereafter

1785
01:44:26.960 --> 01:44:30.079
Club is disbanded. Unlike my clients, I have no desire

1786
01:44:30.159 --> 01:44:30.520
to die.

1787
01:44:30.840 --> 01:44:32.119
There's no point in doing so.

1788
01:44:32.479 --> 01:44:34.880
You are going to die, mister President, just as you

1789
01:44:35.039 --> 01:44:37.960
have sent others. I'll say to it myself. Be reasonable,

1790
01:44:38.000 --> 01:44:40.600
mister Evans. I have everything to live for, and so

1791
01:44:40.760 --> 01:44:43.000
can you have. Now then, I'm a very wealthy man,

1792
01:44:43.039 --> 01:44:46.520
and I'm quite sure you could use a ten thousand dollars.

1793
01:44:46.640 --> 01:44:49.399
Get close to rail, mister president, I suggest you listen

1794
01:44:49.439 --> 01:44:50.359
to reason. Mister Evans.

1795
01:44:50.359 --> 01:44:53.199
The others died without a whimper. You sent them into

1796
01:44:53.239 --> 01:44:55.680
the hereafter. Now you're going yourself as you deserve. You're

1797
01:44:55.680 --> 01:44:57.239
a very stubborn young man, mister Evans.

1798
01:44:57.600 --> 01:44:58.199
Don't drop that.

1799
01:44:59.439 --> 01:45:02.279
Don't try to kill me when you Oh, you.

1800
01:45:02.359 --> 01:45:03.159
Got me in the arm.

1801
01:45:03.239 --> 01:45:06.039
I saw it now, and you're going over that rail.

1802
01:45:06.279 --> 01:45:08.880
Don't. I'll give you anything, anything over you.

1803
01:45:34.000 --> 01:45:38.199
When the train had passed, I saw what was left

1804
01:45:38.239 --> 01:45:45.239
of his body on the tracks. Slowly, with dragging footsteps,

1805
01:45:45.279 --> 01:45:47.680
I walked down the street toward the twin green lights

1806
01:45:47.720 --> 01:45:53.399
of the police station. Now look like the others, I'm

1807
01:45:53.479 --> 01:45:54.239
ready for the end.

1808
01:45:57.760 --> 01:46:01.640
The doors of the police station open and close on

1809
01:46:01.800 --> 01:46:06.439
the man who trumped the ace of death, the man

1810
01:46:06.560 --> 01:46:09.079
who now seeks his own dark destiny.

1811
01:46:09.800 --> 01:46:12.079
As the clock strike twelve.

1812
01:46:12.000 --> 01:46:14.000
Or murder.

1813
01:46:15.640 --> 01:46:17.159
At MENA.

1814
01:46:35.359 --> 01:46:39.920
Well, my dear, I can't help but feel like maybe

1815
01:46:40.039 --> 01:46:45.720
I've been I don't know a little too intense tonight,

1816
01:46:45.960 --> 01:46:50.840
so forgive me for that. But I suppose that's just

1817
01:46:52.600 --> 01:46:58.840
how the mind works. But you know, as negative as

1818
01:46:58.920 --> 01:47:06.039
I can be about the interpersonals, I suppose the truth

1819
01:47:06.279 --> 01:47:10.880
is when you have a good friend, a dear friend,

1820
01:47:12.239 --> 01:47:17.319
someone who spends their time with you and understands you,

1821
01:47:18.640 --> 01:47:25.479
enjoys themselves with you, Well, that my dear is a

1822
01:47:25.560 --> 01:47:29.319
whole other thing like Fire in the Sky.

1823
01:47:44.520 --> 01:47:49.199
The Mature Broadcasting System presents The Mysterious Traveler, written, produced

1824
01:47:49.239 --> 01:47:52.079
and directed by Robert A. Eifer and David Cogan, and

1825
01:47:52.239 --> 01:47:57.199
starring free of radio's foremost actors, Brett Morrison, Joyce Gordon.

1826
01:47:56.960 --> 01:48:00.520
And Leon Jenny and Fire in the Sky.

1827
01:48:14.319 --> 01:48:17.760
This is a Mysterious Traveler inviting you to join me

1828
01:48:18.479 --> 01:48:21.279
on another journey of the realm, of the strange and

1829
01:48:21.479 --> 01:48:25.840
the terrifying. I hope you will enjoy the trip, that

1830
01:48:26.000 --> 01:48:28.920
it will free you a little and chill you a little.

1831
01:48:29.600 --> 01:48:32.720
So settle back, get a good grip on your nerves,

1832
01:48:32.840 --> 01:48:37.439
and be comfortable if you can, as we'll join two

1833
01:48:37.600 --> 01:48:42.039
young people who find themselves in the strangest situation human

1834
01:48:42.119 --> 01:48:43.319
beings ever encountered.

1835
01:48:44.560 --> 01:48:48.079
It's the story I call Fire in the sky.

1836
01:48:57.680 --> 01:49:01.000
It's late evening and a convertible with the top down

1837
01:49:01.479 --> 01:49:04.520
is driving along a lonely road in the Shenandoagh Aveley.

1838
01:49:05.680 --> 01:49:09.720
The driver is yawning in his twenties, so is the

1839
01:49:09.760 --> 01:49:10.680
girl beside him.

1840
01:49:11.399 --> 01:49:14.640
They're mister and missus Nicholas Ramsey of New York City,

1841
01:49:15.399 --> 01:49:20.439
married less than twenty four hours and honeymooning Blick. Ramsey

1842
01:49:20.840 --> 01:49:24.840
is driving slowly for both he and Salie are watching

1843
01:49:24.920 --> 01:49:28.079
the great golden disk which is rising in the sky

1844
01:49:28.720 --> 01:49:30.079
above the hills to the west.

1845
01:49:31.079 --> 01:49:34.640
Not the moon, but the new comet, which the.

1846
01:49:34.640 --> 01:49:40.920
Whole world is talking about with excited interest and some apprehension.

1847
01:49:42.960 --> 01:49:46.119
Nick, it's so bright. It's so much brighter since last night.

1848
01:49:46.359 --> 01:49:49.479
It's I know, things today, about half as big as

1849
01:49:49.520 --> 01:49:52.079
the moon. Now you can almost see it grow.

1850
01:49:52.680 --> 01:49:54.319
Looks as if it were coming right at it.

1851
01:49:54.600 --> 01:49:57.920
Nice just an illusion. It will pass about fifteen million

1852
01:49:58.000 --> 01:49:58.600
miles away.

1853
01:49:58.680 --> 01:50:03.399
The radio said, fifteen million sounds like a lot, but

1854
01:50:03.520 --> 01:50:04.439
I wish it were more.

1855
01:50:04.720 --> 01:50:06.800
Oh, they said it wouldn't do much damage even if

1856
01:50:06.800 --> 01:50:09.680
it hit has head on collets are mostly gash.

1857
01:50:09.760 --> 01:50:10.520
You know, well, it.

1858
01:50:10.600 --> 01:50:14.479
Certainly looks solid. It is beautiful, though, isn't it. I'm

1859
01:50:14.520 --> 01:50:16.600
glad we decided to drive tonight so we could watch it.

1860
01:50:17.039 --> 01:50:18.760
But turn the news and see what the radio says

1861
01:50:18.800 --> 01:50:19.079
about it.

1862
01:50:19.840 --> 01:50:22.640
I'll try Washington. Danny Dunn has been giving a blow

1863
01:50:22.680 --> 01:50:23.800
bible account.

1864
01:50:23.479 --> 01:50:27.479
Of its approach, So everybody everywhere, this is your future

1865
01:50:27.560 --> 01:50:31.680
reporter than it done speaking from Washington. Well, the big

1866
01:50:31.800 --> 01:50:35.960
news tonight is still comed X, as it's been nicknamed Tonight.

1867
01:50:36.079 --> 01:50:37.039
It seems it's going to.

1868
01:50:37.079 --> 01:50:39.399
Pass a little older, a bit closer than the start,

1869
01:50:40.119 --> 01:50:44.239
maybe inside ten million miles. But it's nothing to worry about.

1870
01:50:44.319 --> 01:50:47.239
Can't hurt us any A comt is just gash, you know,

1871
01:50:48.840 --> 01:50:52.520
like some congressmen here in Washington who were speaking of Washington.

1872
01:50:52.920 --> 01:50:55.840
The President and his cabinet quietly left town today with

1873
01:50:55.920 --> 01:50:59.560
their families. We're told they're going to a special government

1874
01:50:59.600 --> 01:51:03.279
observe where they can all see Comet X through telescopes.

1875
01:51:03.960 --> 01:51:07.079
And that just shows you how interested everybody is. The

1876
01:51:07.119 --> 01:51:09.720
rest of the world is standing outdoors and keeping an

1877
01:51:09.760 --> 01:51:13.039
eye on the sky. After all, this is a spectacle

1878
01:51:13.159 --> 01:51:15.800
mankind sees only once in a thousand years, and nobody

1879
01:51:15.880 --> 01:51:19.199
wants to miss it. Where folks, the government has asked

1880
01:51:19.239 --> 01:51:22.119
me to pass along the following to you, don't be

1881
01:51:22.239 --> 01:51:25.479
alarmed if comet X seems to be getting awfully close.

1882
01:51:26.800 --> 01:51:27.840
An optical illusion.

1883
01:51:29.800 --> 01:51:33.239
Nick, look up ahead, somebody signaling us with a flashlight.

1884
01:51:33.760 --> 01:51:35.359
Yeah, it looks like an old Kajur, one of the

1885
01:51:35.800 --> 01:51:36.600
local natives.

1886
01:51:36.640 --> 01:51:38.960
I guess do you think we ought to stop? It's

1887
01:51:39.000 --> 01:51:39.720
a lonely road.

1888
01:51:39.960 --> 01:51:42.560
He probably just wants to lift anyway. He's so old

1889
01:51:42.560 --> 01:51:43.600
he couldn't hurt us any.

1890
01:51:49.359 --> 01:51:50.359
Oh you want to lift?

1891
01:51:50.720 --> 01:51:54.039
Oh you've been folks, might be glad you come along.

1892
01:51:54.439 --> 01:51:57.800
I need some help, bad help. It's my partner. Rock

1893
01:51:57.920 --> 01:52:00.920
slide fell on him, crushed his chest in. He's down

1894
01:52:00.960 --> 01:52:03.159
in the mine. I need help to get him out.

1895
01:52:03.399 --> 01:52:04.960
You're a miner, that's right, ma'am.

1896
01:52:05.720 --> 01:52:09.439
Names Jones, Jerry Jones. We got us a mine up

1897
01:52:09.520 --> 01:52:12.239
this road, by a quarter of mine. Of course, Sam

1898
01:52:12.359 --> 01:52:15.279
hurt yourself hour ago. Been waiting ever since for somebody

1899
01:52:15.319 --> 01:52:17.680
to come along. Well, Sally, I guess it's up to us.

1900
01:52:18.319 --> 01:52:20.760
We can't leave some poor fella dying and not help.

1901
01:52:20.880 --> 01:52:23.800
But Nikki is Sue, I'm sure it's all right. Okay,

1902
01:52:23.880 --> 01:52:26.359
hop in, mister Jones. We'll have your partner out just

1903
01:52:26.439 --> 01:52:27.399
as quick as we can.

1904
01:52:43.319 --> 01:52:47.399
Y here, folks, it will share covers of mind Jack.

1905
01:52:49.359 --> 01:52:52.640
Come along, Sally. I'm sorry we haven't any first aid

1906
01:52:52.680 --> 01:52:53.640
equipment in Jones.

1907
01:52:53.680 --> 01:52:56.760
I've got something down below you'll share you mister amser

1908
01:52:57.399 --> 01:52:58.279
you have to go down.

1909
01:52:58.199 --> 01:52:58.680
On the lift.

1910
01:53:00.439 --> 01:53:02.800
Nick, Look how bright it is. Come it seems to

1911
01:53:02.840 --> 01:53:03.319
be growing big.

1912
01:53:03.359 --> 01:53:09.800
About a minute, Hey here we are, Uh, step in,

1913
01:53:09.920 --> 01:53:11.840
say hooks, I got the flesh lift.

1914
01:53:12.800 --> 01:53:16.560
Huh. You've got a regular mind lift in here, machine,

1915
01:53:16.640 --> 01:53:19.159
ley and everything. What kind of mine is this?

1916
01:53:19.720 --> 01:53:22.800
It used to be a coal mine got abandoned. Me

1917
01:53:22.960 --> 01:53:25.520
and Sam. We've found a little vain of diamonds down

1918
01:53:25.600 --> 01:53:26.039
in the coal.

1919
01:53:26.319 --> 01:53:29.880
Diamond Now, wait a minute, there aren't any diamond mines

1920
01:53:29.920 --> 01:53:30.560
in this country.

1921
01:53:30.720 --> 01:53:33.319
Sure there is got some down below A prove it

1922
01:53:33.359 --> 01:53:37.439
to you after we fix up Sam. Please step on lift, mister.

1923
01:53:37.399 --> 01:53:40.079
M Nick, I think this is a trick, So do

1924
01:53:40.239 --> 01:53:43.880
I a diamond mine? Listen, Jones.

1925
01:53:44.479 --> 01:53:48.119
Coal and diamonds don't go together, even though they're both carbon.

1926
01:53:48.960 --> 01:53:50.520
So we're not getting on that lift.

1927
01:53:50.600 --> 01:53:54.439
I'm afraid you have to, mister ms Believe me, I'll

1928
01:53:54.439 --> 01:53:55.680
shoot if you'll try to get away.

1929
01:53:55.840 --> 01:53:58.479
Nick a gun now listen, put away that revolver.

1930
01:53:59.199 --> 01:54:01.680
I don't know what of crazy scheme this is. It's

1931
01:54:01.760 --> 01:54:05.960
not crazy. I'm trying to save your lives, save our lives.

1932
01:54:06.079 --> 01:54:09.079
See that comet in the sky. Yes, they're calling it

1933
01:54:09.159 --> 01:54:13.000
Comet X. They should be calling it doomsday. You are

1934
01:54:13.199 --> 01:54:16.920
treat That's enough talk. Fourteen hours, this earth and that

1935
01:54:17.079 --> 01:54:20.760
comet are going to meet, and time is precious. Get

1936
01:54:20.800 --> 01:54:24.319
on that rift, mister, missus Ramsey, or I'll shoot. Believe me,

1937
01:54:24.439 --> 01:54:26.439
no harm will come to you if you do just

1938
01:54:26.560 --> 01:54:29.800
as I say. I guess we'd better do it, Sally,

1939
01:54:30.720 --> 01:54:33.319
there's no use in arguing with a madman who has

1940
01:54:33.359 --> 01:54:33.720
a gun.

1941
01:54:35.439 --> 01:54:41.760
You say so, Nick, Now that's better. Well, then tightly,

1942
01:54:42.800 --> 01:54:45.920
don't do anything foolish. You don't know how to operate

1943
01:54:45.960 --> 01:54:48.920
this lift. And we have a thousand foot drop, delaris.

1944
01:55:00.439 --> 01:55:02.680
Quick. We've been going down for so long.

1945
01:55:02.800 --> 01:55:06.680
Now almost at the button. Missus Vensey, please don't be frightened.

1946
01:55:07.560 --> 01:55:09.039
I'm doing this for your own good.

1947
01:55:09.199 --> 01:55:12.119
See who are you? You're not a native? You lost

1948
01:55:12.159 --> 01:55:13.560
your hillbilly acc head long ago.

1949
01:55:13.880 --> 01:55:14.119
I'm not.

1950
01:55:14.920 --> 01:55:19.359
It was just a crude disguise. My name is Jeremiah Jones,

1951
01:55:19.880 --> 01:55:25.800
formerly Professor Jones. We've reached butter. The surface of the

1952
01:55:25.840 --> 01:55:29.600
earth is one thousand feet above us. Now, mister Emsey,

1953
01:55:29.680 --> 01:55:31.479
if you and your wife try to attack me, you

1954
01:55:31.640 --> 01:55:35.640
might succeed. You'll be very foolish. You need me to

1955
01:55:35.680 --> 01:55:36.279
get you out.

1956
01:55:36.199 --> 01:55:36.720
Of here again.

1957
01:55:37.159 --> 01:55:40.439
Yes, I suppose that's right, verywere. Please walk quietly ahead

1958
01:55:40.479 --> 01:55:44.159
of me. These old mind shafts are quite level. And

1959
01:55:44.279 --> 01:55:46.800
shine my flash light ahead and you won't have any difficulty.

1960
01:55:47.319 --> 01:55:50.239
I suppose we have to humor you. But why are

1961
01:55:50.279 --> 01:55:50.840
you doing this?

1962
01:55:51.720 --> 01:55:52.399
What are you up to?

1963
01:55:54.000 --> 01:55:56.119
You won't believe me if I tell you, mister and

1964
01:55:56.159 --> 01:56:00.319
missus Vensey, But you too are the most important people

1965
01:56:00.439 --> 01:56:04.239
in the world tonight. So just walk ahead of me

1966
01:56:04.359 --> 01:56:05.840
and we'll have the explanations.

1967
01:56:05.960 --> 01:56:06.199
Leader.

1968
01:56:19.760 --> 01:56:24.840
How much further is it only tonnels whinding and twisting? Nick,

1969
01:56:24.880 --> 01:56:26.000
I'm completely locked.

1970
01:56:26.399 --> 01:56:30.600
Listen, Jones, if that's your name, come to your sensive,

1971
01:56:31.359 --> 01:56:33.840
take us back to the surface, and we'll forget this happening.

1972
01:56:33.880 --> 01:56:38.560
Therefore, the door ahead of Yes, push it open and

1973
01:56:38.640 --> 01:56:38.840
go in.

1974
01:56:43.079 --> 01:56:43.279
Well.

1975
01:56:43.840 --> 01:56:45.199
Shine your flash light inside.

1976
01:56:45.680 --> 01:56:48.239
We can't see a thing. Find the light switch beside

1977
01:56:48.279 --> 01:56:49.640
the door. Turn it on.

1978
01:56:50.600 --> 01:56:51.760
Nick, he's closed the door.

1979
01:56:52.439 --> 01:56:54.159
He's locking us in, Jones.

1980
01:56:55.199 --> 01:57:01.359
Jones, turn I'm alive, and just wait coming. I'll be back.

1981
01:57:01.960 --> 01:57:03.640
I have to go to the surface now to see

1982
01:57:03.640 --> 01:57:09.000
if I can rescue anyone else Jones Jones, he's.

1983
01:57:08.920 --> 01:57:11.399
Gone, Nick, Nick, I'm frightened.

1984
01:57:11.600 --> 01:57:15.520
It'll be all right, Sally, I'm sure it will. Said.

1985
01:57:15.560 --> 01:57:18.199
There was a light switched to me. If you can

1986
01:57:18.319 --> 01:57:21.840
find it, it should be here beside the door, and

1987
01:57:22.000 --> 01:57:22.720
maybe you tire.

1988
01:57:23.880 --> 01:57:26.880
I've got it. Good lord.

1989
01:57:29.239 --> 01:57:35.319
We're in a room completely furnished, chairs, tables, electric right,

1990
01:57:36.079 --> 01:57:38.760
there's even a radio those archways.

1991
01:57:38.840 --> 01:57:43.920
I can see a kitchen another room. But this place

1992
01:57:44.000 --> 01:57:45.399
is like a furnished apartment.

1993
01:57:45.119 --> 01:57:48.119
A thousand feet underground with walls of solid rock.

1994
01:57:48.840 --> 01:57:49.840
And he's locked as in me.

1995
01:57:51.199 --> 01:57:52.119
Why? Nick? Why?

1996
01:57:52.439 --> 01:57:56.640
I don't know, Sally, I don't know. I guess we'll

1997
01:57:56.760 --> 01:57:58.079
just have to wait and see.

1998
01:58:10.439 --> 01:58:10.600
Nick.

1999
01:58:10.640 --> 01:58:11.239
What time is it?

2000
01:58:12.119 --> 01:58:13.239
How long have we been down here?

2001
01:58:13.680 --> 01:58:17.199
Two? I am I've been locked in here nearly four hours.

2002
01:58:18.079 --> 01:58:21.079
He gets crazy. He's a madman. He must be.

2003
01:58:21.560 --> 01:58:25.560
I wonder if he's mad. There's certainly a method in

2004
01:58:25.640 --> 01:58:31.000
his madness. Look around you, this furniture, a radio, a kitchen.

2005
01:58:32.039 --> 01:58:34.359
There must be a generator something to supply these lights.

2006
01:58:34.399 --> 01:58:37.479
That's what I mean only a madman which picks up

2007
01:58:37.479 --> 01:58:38.680
an older band in mind like this.

2008
01:58:38.880 --> 01:58:42.439
You know I've just placed his name, Professor Jeremiah Jones.

2009
01:58:42.960 --> 01:58:43.399
Who is he?

2010
01:58:44.000 --> 01:58:47.000
He's an obscure astronomer who ten years ago claimed to

2011
01:58:47.079 --> 01:58:49.439
have discovered a comet no one else could see, and

2012
01:58:49.520 --> 01:58:50.359
he dropped out of sight.

2013
01:58:50.680 --> 01:58:53.520
He seems to have an obsession about comic He said

2014
01:58:53.560 --> 01:58:55.520
comic ex should be called Doomsday.

2015
01:58:55.680 --> 01:59:00.840
Yes, and I can't help wondering on that radio again,

2016
01:59:00.880 --> 01:59:02.399
I have a hunch you will be getting some news,

2017
01:59:02.439 --> 01:59:04.079
So real news, all right.

2018
01:59:06.000 --> 01:59:08.439
How can a radio work way down here underground?

2019
01:59:08.560 --> 01:59:10.640
You must have a wire running above to the surface.

2020
01:59:12.239 --> 01:59:15.279
It's just a movie, So let's leave it on. Maybe

2021
01:59:15.319 --> 01:59:15.800
a bulletin.

2022
01:59:21.119 --> 01:59:24.359
Hello, everybody, this is your special reporter Danny Dunn back

2023
01:59:24.399 --> 01:59:27.359
with a very important bullet nick. I have just come

2024
01:59:27.439 --> 01:59:29.840
from a meeting at the Smithsonian Institute, and I have

2025
01:59:29.960 --> 01:59:34.479
some last minute news about our mysterious visitor comed X. Now, folks,

2026
01:59:34.520 --> 01:59:37.159
I don't want to alarm you. Panic won't help anybody.

2027
01:59:37.600 --> 01:59:40.159
It looks as if there may be some danger after all,

2028
01:59:40.399 --> 01:59:42.720
and it's only common sense to be prepared for it.

2029
01:59:43.680 --> 01:59:46.680
Seems comed X is not holding to the course predicted

2030
01:59:46.760 --> 01:59:50.399
for it. It's all but now intersects theories. About ten

2031
01:59:50.479 --> 01:59:52.600
hours the Earth will pass through the glowing.

2032
01:59:52.399 --> 01:59:53.960
Heart of the comics.

2033
01:59:54.920 --> 01:59:56.880
There is no cause for undual arm.

2034
01:59:57.640 --> 02:00:00.399
I have mister Andrew Weatherby, head of the Scientist Bureau,

2035
02:00:00.479 --> 02:00:02.079
here at the microphone to tell you.

2036
02:00:02.159 --> 02:00:03.600
In person what to expect.

2037
02:00:05.920 --> 02:00:06.560
Give me your hand.

2038
02:00:08.079 --> 02:00:10.479
Yes, this is big if they've got Weatherby himself on

2039
02:00:10.560 --> 02:00:12.520
their good evening everyone.

2040
02:00:13.199 --> 02:00:16.119
As you all know, a comet is composed largely of

2041
02:00:16.239 --> 02:00:20.199
glowing gases. Just what effect these gases may have when

2042
02:00:20.239 --> 02:00:20.800
the Earth.

2043
02:00:20.600 --> 02:00:24.560
Passes through them, we do not know, but we anticipate

2044
02:00:24.640 --> 02:00:26.560
they will be so tenuous they will.

2045
02:00:26.439 --> 02:00:27.439
Hardly be noticeable.

2046
02:00:28.079 --> 02:00:32.000
However, accompanying the comet is a core of tiny particles

2047
02:00:32.039 --> 02:00:35.800
of rock and iron that is entering our atmosphere. Will

2048
02:00:35.880 --> 02:00:39.720
cause a spectacular display of shooting stars and may do

2049
02:00:39.880 --> 02:00:43.600
some damage. Accordingly, the government is asking everyone to take

2050
02:00:43.680 --> 02:00:46.800
the following precautions within the next eight hours.

2051
02:00:47.399 --> 02:00:52.119
Take shelter on the ground if possible, otherwise in cellars

2052
02:00:52.239 --> 02:00:55.319
or in area shelters. Take with you all the food

2053
02:00:55.439 --> 02:00:59.439
and water you can manage. Take bidding warm clothes, and

2054
02:00:59.560 --> 02:01:01.119
be prepared. I have to stay on the show over

2055
02:01:01.159 --> 02:01:06.159
at least forty eight hours. Begin your preparations. Now you

2056
02:01:06.199 --> 02:01:08.640
will receive further instructions.

2057
02:01:08.039 --> 02:01:11.680
By radio, but above all, remain calm.

2058
02:01:13.720 --> 02:01:16.560
Well, folks, is just standing down again. I'll be standing

2059
02:01:16.640 --> 02:01:18.800
by all night long to bring you the ladies. Keep

2060
02:01:18.880 --> 02:01:21.319
tune in and don't worry. This will be a great

2061
02:01:21.399 --> 02:01:22.840
story to tell your grandchildren.

2062
02:01:23.439 --> 02:01:26.840
So long for now, Nick, it's something they're not telling us.

2063
02:01:26.880 --> 02:01:27.520
I'm sure of it.

2064
02:01:28.279 --> 02:01:29.439
He suppose at the cup.

2065
02:01:30.920 --> 02:01:31.880
I said, Joe's back.

2066
02:01:32.479 --> 02:01:37.239
Why, professor NICKI has two little children with him, one

2067
02:01:37.279 --> 02:01:41.119
of them just a baby, a little girl here and

2068
02:01:41.239 --> 02:01:41.720
give it to me.

2069
02:01:43.840 --> 02:01:44.800
Yeah, it's all right.

2070
02:01:45.720 --> 02:01:48.039
She must cry everything all night.

2071
02:01:48.520 --> 02:01:48.800
Thank you.

2072
02:01:50.159 --> 02:01:53.920
Here, mister MS can take this little bray. Fortunately he's

2073
02:01:53.960 --> 02:01:54.560
still sleepy.

2074
02:01:54.840 --> 02:01:58.880
Let me hea you okay, now you sit down. You're

2075
02:01:58.920 --> 02:02:01.319
all in and and there's blood on your coat.

2076
02:02:01.840 --> 02:02:04.279
I'm afraid i've been shot.

2077
02:02:04.439 --> 02:02:08.000
Oh, I'll put the boy on the couch there. Yeah,

2078
02:02:08.039 --> 02:02:11.119
he's still sleeping soundly. Now let me look at you.

2079
02:02:11.800 --> 02:02:15.359
Let me get this coat off. I'm sorry, it's got

2080
02:02:15.439 --> 02:02:20.319
to come off there. Oh, you've lost a lot of blood.

2081
02:02:20.279 --> 02:02:23.119
You say, right, too much.

2082
02:02:23.159 --> 02:02:24.680
I'm afraid you have to cut.

2083
02:02:24.560 --> 02:02:26.720
Your shirt loose and ticks a bandage. Sally, can you

2084
02:02:26.720 --> 02:02:27.000
help me?

2085
02:02:27.119 --> 02:02:30.119
Oh yeah, baby's gone back. I'll put her down on

2086
02:02:30.159 --> 02:02:30.720
the couch too.

2087
02:02:33.239 --> 02:02:34.000
What shall I do next?

2088
02:02:34.039 --> 02:02:35.479
I'm going to cut away the shirt. You pull it

2089
02:02:35.560 --> 02:02:38.720
loose as I cut. How did you get shot, professor?

2090
02:02:38.760 --> 02:02:40.079
And where did you get those children?

2091
02:02:41.520 --> 02:02:45.399
I went out to bring back more people to this shirt.

2092
02:02:47.239 --> 02:02:48.600
There are no cars on the road.

2093
02:02:50.039 --> 02:02:54.359
I went to a house. My rassoo away family and

2094
02:02:54.479 --> 02:02:57.560
some visitors out in the lawn watching the comet.

2095
02:02:57.680 --> 02:02:59.560
That's fine selling. Now give me something to wipe away

2096
02:02:59.600 --> 02:02:59.920
the blood.

2097
02:03:00.039 --> 02:03:01.239
Oh thanks, car.

2098
02:03:01.800 --> 02:03:04.640
I knew if I tried to persuade them they think

2099
02:03:04.680 --> 02:03:08.600
I was crazy. And I saw the children, boy and

2100
02:03:08.680 --> 02:03:12.680
the girl asleep in the back room. I stole them.

2101
02:03:14.159 --> 02:03:17.319
Baby woke up and cried. Somebody shot at me.

2102
02:03:18.800 --> 02:03:24.279
I got away in the darkness, hut the easy into

2103
02:03:24.319 --> 02:03:24.680
his chair.

2104
02:03:26.800 --> 02:03:30.159
He's passed out from loss of blood. And here we are,

2105
02:03:30.399 --> 02:03:33.439
stuck down in an old mine, a thousand feet underground,

2106
02:03:33.479 --> 02:03:51.039
with two children that he's taken from their families. It's here,

2107
02:03:51.079 --> 02:03:54.439
I am, so you're awake? How are you feeling?

2108
02:03:55.720 --> 02:03:56.119
Very weak?

2109
02:03:56.199 --> 02:03:56.720
Kind of feet?

2110
02:03:58.119 --> 02:03:59.279
How the children?

2111
02:03:59.479 --> 02:03:59.600
Oh?

2112
02:03:59.640 --> 02:04:01.960
If I and luckily they're too young to be scared.

2113
02:04:02.640 --> 02:04:06.119
Sally's got in the kitchen feeding them. Now look here, professor.

2114
02:04:06.600 --> 02:04:08.720
It's one thing to ure us down here, it's another

2115
02:04:08.800 --> 02:04:10.359
thing to steal two babies.

2116
02:04:10.039 --> 02:04:12.760
And face the facts.

2117
02:04:13.800 --> 02:04:17.560
Having't I convinced you the entire world is engrave danger.

2118
02:04:17.560 --> 02:04:21.119
Danger from what a few chunks of stone that may

2119
02:04:21.159 --> 02:04:23.920
be part of a comet. The radio last night admitted

2120
02:04:24.000 --> 02:04:25.079
some damage might be.

2121
02:04:25.159 --> 02:04:29.039
Done some day, But to the broadcasts, they now, I

2122
02:04:29.199 --> 02:04:29.479
don't know.

2123
02:04:29.800 --> 02:04:30.479
We haven't listened.

2124
02:04:31.319 --> 02:04:32.960
If we got you in the bed last night, took

2125
02:04:32.960 --> 02:04:35.039
care of the children, Sally and I just fell asleep.

2126
02:04:35.800 --> 02:04:37.560
If we woke up, we've been so busy we haven't

2127
02:04:37.560 --> 02:04:38.399
had a chance to listen.

2128
02:04:38.800 --> 02:04:41.239
Turn on the radio. Now, let's listen.

2129
02:04:41.399 --> 02:04:45.720
Of course, while you were gone, Andrew Weatherby urged everyone

2130
02:04:45.840 --> 02:04:47.439
to take shelter for a few days.

2131
02:04:47.920 --> 02:04:53.039
Everybody, this is tanned, done, sleepy, but still on the job. Well,

2132
02:04:53.159 --> 02:04:55.760
I guess you won't find anything else on the radio

2133
02:04:55.880 --> 02:04:59.239
this morning except the comment it's so bright you can

2134
02:04:59.279 --> 02:05:01.920
see it. Please away in the morning sky like a

2135
02:05:02.039 --> 02:05:06.600
baby's son, about four hours before its path intersects hours.

2136
02:05:07.479 --> 02:05:11.399
I repeat again the official advice take shelter, stay undercovered

2137
02:05:11.439 --> 02:05:15.239
for the next few days. But don't panic. Pannik is

2138
02:05:15.319 --> 02:05:16.520
more dangerous than the comet.

2139
02:05:16.600 --> 02:05:17.000
Believe me.

2140
02:05:18.119 --> 02:05:19.800
I have to admit that a lot of people have

2141
02:05:20.079 --> 02:05:24.000
unfortunately lost their heads the last few hours. Roads leading

2142
02:05:24.039 --> 02:05:26.640
out of every city are clogged with refugees.

2143
02:05:26.159 --> 02:05:26.880
Trying to get away.

2144
02:05:27.600 --> 02:05:29.560
A good many people have been killed in the crush

2145
02:05:29.600 --> 02:05:33.199
of crowds fleeing the cities. Every ports of hundreds of

2146
02:05:33.239 --> 02:05:36.479
auto accidents, some looting fires are burning unchecked in the

2147
02:05:36.560 --> 02:05:40.760
number of places. Firemen are fleeing with the others. Washington

2148
02:05:40.800 --> 02:05:44.079
this morning is a deserted city. So many people here

2149
02:05:44.119 --> 02:05:45.960
have ordos. You know they were able to get away.

2150
02:05:46.039 --> 02:05:48.479
All the air raid shelters are full. People in them

2151
02:05:48.520 --> 02:05:51.920
are being very calm upout it. Unus from other places

2152
02:05:52.000 --> 02:05:55.560
a bit scanty. Some lines are down. I'll keep bringing

2153
02:05:55.640 --> 02:05:59.239
you all the bulletins as they coming. Right now, I've

2154
02:05:59.279 --> 02:06:01.560
got to get little yes. So this is then done,

2155
02:06:02.079 --> 02:06:03.680
signing off temporarily.

2156
02:06:03.279 --> 02:06:06.760
Folks, Well, are you convinced now, mister.

2157
02:06:07.239 --> 02:06:10.000
H People are losing their heads because they're scared. But

2158
02:06:10.119 --> 02:06:12.640
that still doesn't say the comet is actually dangerous to

2159
02:06:12.680 --> 02:06:15.119
the earth. I know it wouldn't be if it was

2160
02:06:15.279 --> 02:06:16.399
just an ordinary comet.

2161
02:06:17.279 --> 02:06:17.840
But it isn't.

2162
02:06:18.319 --> 02:06:19.159
But what is it? Then?

2163
02:06:19.880 --> 02:06:25.359
Ems the fiery head of Comet X is radioactive, radioactive.

2164
02:06:25.560 --> 02:06:28.239
It will envelop the world in a searing bath of

2165
02:06:28.319 --> 02:06:33.960
atomic fire. In a dozen hours, civilization would have come.

2166
02:06:33.880 --> 02:06:34.359
To an end.

2167
02:06:46.319 --> 02:06:49.920
How's the prophetic unconscious? His fever is high and he's

2168
02:06:49.920 --> 02:06:52.159
in a delirium. Pulse is very weak.

2169
02:06:52.800 --> 02:06:54.359
Only we could do something for him.

2170
02:06:54.640 --> 02:06:56.439
I've done what I could from the medicine chest.

2171
02:06:57.079 --> 02:06:59.840
In his mind now he's reliving the time ten years

2172
02:07:00.199 --> 02:07:02.960
when he first discovered Comet X and predicted that it

2173
02:07:03.039 --> 02:07:03.760
was radioactive.

2174
02:07:04.079 --> 02:07:06.720
He predicted that, yeah, as.

2175
02:07:06.600 --> 02:07:08.279
We had quite a talk while you were busy with

2176
02:07:08.359 --> 02:07:11.520
the two kids. He was an obscure professor of astronomy

2177
02:07:11.560 --> 02:07:14.079
in a little college. He found a speck of light

2178
02:07:14.199 --> 02:07:16.840
wandering around in the sky, identified it as a comet,

2179
02:07:17.479 --> 02:07:21.119
analyzed it as being radioactive, and predicted that on its

2180
02:07:21.199 --> 02:07:22.479
next visit it was strike the earth.

2181
02:07:22.760 --> 02:07:23.800
And nobody believed him.

2182
02:07:23.920 --> 02:07:26.920
Well, the comet had vanished by then. Everybody thought he'd

2183
02:07:26.920 --> 02:07:30.199
imagined it. And when he claimed it was radioactive and

2184
02:07:30.279 --> 02:07:32.079
with destroy civilization, that was too much.

2185
02:07:32.840 --> 02:07:35.319
He was fired. He had a breakdown and was an

2186
02:07:35.359 --> 02:07:36.479
institution for years.

2187
02:07:36.840 --> 02:07:39.800
Oh yes, now I remember I read something about it

2188
02:07:39.920 --> 02:07:42.840
years ago, but the war was on it and people.

2189
02:07:42.680 --> 02:07:46.239
Had other things to think about. Everybody forgot Professor Jones

2190
02:07:46.279 --> 02:07:49.399
in the comet. You see, the atomic bomb hadn't been

2191
02:07:49.439 --> 02:07:52.560
developed then, so the idea of an atomic comet was considered.

2192
02:07:52.560 --> 02:07:53.199
Playing crazy.

2193
02:07:53.720 --> 02:07:54.600
Now it's come true.

2194
02:07:55.119 --> 02:07:59.520
Oh Nick, it's turn the radio one again. See if

2195
02:07:59.560 --> 02:08:01.039
Danny and is still broadcasting?

2196
02:08:01.119 --> 02:08:03.479
All right, what time is it?

2197
02:08:04.199 --> 02:08:07.439
Well, I watched this eid. Must be a tonight. No

2198
02:08:07.560 --> 02:08:09.520
way to be sure. A way down here underground.

2199
02:08:11.560 --> 02:08:14.960
I don't guess there's much more. I can see broadcasting

2200
02:08:15.039 --> 02:08:18.239
from the south basement of the building. It's about six

2201
02:08:18.319 --> 02:08:21.600
of us locked in here. I know how much longer

2202
02:08:21.680 --> 02:08:25.039
we can hold out. They haven't had any communication from

2203
02:08:25.079 --> 02:08:26.800
outside Washington for the last hour.

2204
02:08:27.720 --> 02:08:28.640
All wires are dead.

2205
02:08:29.199 --> 02:08:31.119
Can't pick up any other radio broadcasts.

2206
02:08:32.399 --> 02:08:33.640
Washington's a dead city.

2207
02:08:33.760 --> 02:08:33.880
Now.

2208
02:08:34.920 --> 02:08:38.479
It's a weird sight. They have a television camera hooked

2209
02:08:38.520 --> 02:08:40.800
up on the roof show us all of the big

2210
02:08:40.920 --> 02:08:45.640
government buildings outlined by a ghastly greenish light, luminous gas

2211
02:08:45.720 --> 02:08:49.079
surrounding the head of comedys right in the middle of

2212
02:08:49.159 --> 02:08:52.800
the comet. Now be about six hours before it starts

2213
02:08:52.840 --> 02:08:58.039
to withdraw. Anybody who can hear. Stay underground as long

2214
02:08:58.079 --> 02:09:01.880
as you possibly can. Don't come out. Radioactivity will be

2215
02:09:02.000 --> 02:09:07.079
deadly for a long time. Yet instrument's mare one this

2216
02:09:07.479 --> 02:09:11.399
was all right, will be poisoned for twenty years to come.

2217
02:09:13.359 --> 02:09:19.279
That a ah, it seems to be painting. I guess

2218
02:09:19.319 --> 02:09:21.239
we'll have to sign up now.

2219
02:09:22.640 --> 02:09:31.079
So long everybody, she's gonna appear, Nick, Nick, think of

2220
02:09:31.159 --> 02:09:32.000
the whole world.

2221
02:09:32.279 --> 02:09:33.319
Dad, Now, I don't know.

2222
02:09:33.399 --> 02:09:36.039
Wait a minute, darling, it's bound to be millions of

2223
02:09:36.079 --> 02:09:39.800
people in safe places like we are, daves, tunnels, old minds.

2224
02:09:39.880 --> 02:09:42.000
But did you hear what he said? The earth may

2225
02:09:42.039 --> 02:09:44.079
be poisoned by radioactivity for years.

2226
02:09:58.640 --> 02:10:04.359
Y I'd like some water, of course, I'll bring it.

2227
02:10:06.279 --> 02:10:06.399
Here.

2228
02:10:06.439 --> 02:10:07.720
You are, professor John, Thank you.

2229
02:10:10.000 --> 02:10:10.680
How are you feeling?

2230
02:10:13.520 --> 02:10:19.119
My head is clear, but I'm very weak. How long

2231
02:10:19.359 --> 02:10:20.199
was I unconscious?

2232
02:10:20.399 --> 02:10:21.239
Almost two days?

2233
02:10:22.000 --> 02:10:22.600
Two days?

2234
02:10:23.640 --> 02:10:28.319
And the comment has come and gone, and the world

2235
02:10:28.840 --> 02:10:30.960
the radio is dead. We can't pick up anything. The

2236
02:10:31.079 --> 02:10:33.720
last report from Washington said it was a dead city.

2237
02:10:35.079 --> 02:10:37.359
Only they listened to me ten years ago.

2238
02:10:37.479 --> 02:10:40.439
Now you mustn't upset yourself, Professor, you did everything one

2239
02:10:40.520 --> 02:10:41.079
man could.

2240
02:10:41.279 --> 02:10:41.479
Yes.

2241
02:10:42.000 --> 02:10:42.199
Yes.

2242
02:10:44.039 --> 02:10:48.119
When I was released from that institution last year, I

2243
02:10:48.279 --> 02:10:54.479
said about fixing up this refuge, how about the old man? Well,

2244
02:10:54.560 --> 02:11:00.800
by myself, I brought down furnishings, machinery, food. When I

2245
02:11:00.920 --> 02:11:02.880
try to get a few people to join me here,

2246
02:11:04.159 --> 02:11:05.319
thought I was insane.

2247
02:11:05.479 --> 02:11:09.239
Again, We understand me, and I had to resort to

2248
02:11:09.399 --> 02:11:12.479
desperate trickery which got you here.

2249
02:11:12.600 --> 02:11:13.880
And we're very grateful for it.

2250
02:11:13.960 --> 02:11:18.119
Sir, I store two children, the boy and the girl,

2251
02:11:20.039 --> 02:11:23.920
out of the whole world. You horrible, are saved.

2252
02:11:24.239 --> 02:11:27.079
But there must be other people alive somewhay.

2253
02:11:27.279 --> 02:11:31.920
Yes, yes, of course. Now by the time the surface

2254
02:11:32.000 --> 02:11:33.960
of the Earth is livable again.

2255
02:11:33.840 --> 02:11:35.800
Will it really be twenty years?

2256
02:11:37.000 --> 02:11:41.640
Yes, missus ms between fifteen and twenty years before the

2257
02:11:41.760 --> 02:11:45.600
human race can once again live on the Earth's surface.

2258
02:11:46.079 --> 02:11:49.520
But in even fifteen years, the people who are still alive.

2259
02:11:49.279 --> 02:11:54.720
Now exactly some will live. Human race is very tough,

2260
02:11:56.079 --> 02:12:03.079
but they may be terribly changed. To re establish civilization,

2261
02:12:04.640 --> 02:12:08.079
we can only be sure of you for Oh no,

2262
02:12:08.640 --> 02:12:13.119
I dear, you mustn't be dismayed. I've planned carefully. Is

2263
02:12:13.199 --> 02:12:22.880
everything you'll need for twenty years down in this cabin medicine, food, building, books, gasoline.

2264
02:12:24.119 --> 02:12:28.159
You must not go above ground until it is absolutely safe.

2265
02:12:30.039 --> 02:12:35.159
Then you will find the world changed, animal life, planned life.

2266
02:12:36.199 --> 02:12:39.960
It may have been altered greatly by the radioactivity, but

2267
02:12:40.199 --> 02:12:41.279
it will be safe.

2268
02:12:44.119 --> 02:12:45.520
Because you're too weak to talk.

2269
02:12:46.000 --> 02:12:50.560
I must, I must talk now. I haven't much more time.

2270
02:12:50.680 --> 02:12:51.359
Of course, you have.

2271
02:12:51.439 --> 02:12:52.199
You going to get well?

2272
02:12:52.279 --> 02:12:53.920
For that we need you.

2273
02:12:54.800 --> 02:12:59.199
I wish I could, but I won't. And now listen,

2274
02:13:00.359 --> 02:13:04.439
build for a better world. Who seemed to have gotten.

2275
02:13:04.239 --> 02:13:05.680
Off the track somehow.

2276
02:13:07.199 --> 02:13:11.560
Maybe maybe nature simply decided to be done with us

2277
02:13:11.680 --> 02:13:13.079
when she sent that coming.

2278
02:13:14.159 --> 02:13:18.880
I don't know, but this is a chance to start

2279
02:13:19.039 --> 02:13:25.680
over again and do better. M m mm hmm.

2280
02:13:27.319 --> 02:13:35.159
Professor Professor Jones Nick Nick, he's not perfait, he is.

2281
02:13:36.960 --> 02:13:37.720
He's dead, darling.

2282
02:13:40.079 --> 02:13:45.319
We're left you and me down here, a thousand feet underground.

2283
02:13:46.279 --> 02:13:49.399
We have to live here twenty years or more.

2284
02:13:52.079 --> 02:13:54.920
That you can't give way, Sally, it got too much

2285
02:13:55.000 --> 02:14:01.520
to do. Listen, the baby got to go to That's

2286
02:14:01.560 --> 02:14:04.039
what I mean. We have to take good care of

2287
02:14:04.119 --> 02:14:04.960
those kids.

2288
02:14:06.319 --> 02:14:09.159
Yeah, court me, of course we do.

2289
02:14:09.960 --> 02:14:11.439
And we'll have to give them names.

2290
02:14:12.520 --> 02:14:15.960
We could call them Adam and Eve, but let's not

2291
02:14:17.359 --> 02:14:19.800
suppose we just call them Johnny and Susie.

2292
02:14:21.199 --> 02:14:21.840
Yet Nick.

2293
02:14:26.520 --> 02:14:28.399
Uncoming, I'm cooming.

2294
02:14:48.800 --> 02:14:52.800
This is the Mysterious Traveler again. I wonder if you'd

2295
02:14:53.039 --> 02:14:56.439
help me check up on something we do. Just step

2296
02:14:56.520 --> 02:15:00.119
outside and never look at the sky. The suspect of

2297
02:15:00.279 --> 02:15:04.720
light up there just to the right of the north farm.

2298
02:15:05.960 --> 02:15:09.239
It wasn't there last night, and I was just wondering

2299
02:15:09.319 --> 02:15:13.239
if you. Oh, but it couldn't be a comment, of

2300
02:15:13.399 --> 02:15:18.000
course not. And even if it is, I'm sure we're

2301
02:15:18.119 --> 02:15:22.399
in no danger. Of course, if you'd like to know

2302
02:15:22.560 --> 02:15:27.319
the location of a nice deep cave. Oh, you have

2303
02:15:27.479 --> 02:15:31.359
to get off here. I'm sorry, but I'm sure you'll

2304
02:15:31.399 --> 02:15:35.920
meet again. I take this same train every meet.

2305
02:15:35.960 --> 02:15:37.079
At this same time.

2306
02:15:59.359 --> 02:16:02.600
You have just the Mysterious Traveler, with Maurice Tiplin in

2307
02:16:02.680 --> 02:16:06.399
the title role. Others in our cast were Brett Morrison,

2308
02:16:06.560 --> 02:16:10.960
Joyce Gordon, and Leon Jenney. Original music played by Fred Mendelson.

2309
02:16:12.520 --> 02:16:16.920
All characters in our story were fictional, and any resemblance

2310
02:16:16.960 --> 02:16:19.880
to actual persons in name or otherwise was purely coincidental.

2311
02:16:21.880 --> 02:16:25.359
Little talkin' speaking, this program has come to you from

2312
02:16:25.680 --> 02:16:26.199
New York.

2313
02:16:29.800 --> 02:16:36.879
Well, my dear, the night is getting deep That's the

2314
02:16:36.959 --> 02:16:40.040
way I like to look at it. So how about

2315
02:16:40.239 --> 02:16:47.479
just one more something extra chilling to ease the heat

2316
02:16:47.680 --> 02:16:53.680
of the summer months. Because, after all, if we can't

2317
02:16:54.280 --> 02:17:00.440
distract ourselves from the things that concern us, well, then

2318
02:17:00.520 --> 02:17:05.079
I don't know what the point is Without the relief

2319
02:17:05.239 --> 02:17:12.200
and joy, There's no point in all this suffering, because

2320
02:17:12.280 --> 02:17:17.159
at the end of the day, only one question remains.

2321
02:17:19.159 --> 02:17:21.520
Can't We be Friends?

2322
02:17:23.639 --> 02:17:23.799
Now?

2323
02:17:24.200 --> 02:17:29.920
Roma Wines RMA made in California for enjoyment throughout the world.

2324
02:17:30.360 --> 02:17:34.040
Rama Wines present Suspense.

2325

very pleasant. As Romo Wines bring you Elliot Lewis in

2334
02:18:19.120 --> 02:18:20.360
a remarkable tale.

2335
02:18:20.120 --> 02:18:30.040
Of suspend I suppose you want to know how it happened. Yes,

2336
02:18:30.159 --> 02:18:32.399
I'd like very much to know. Then, will you tell

2337
02:18:32.440 --> 02:18:33.120
me how you got here?

2338
02:18:33.959 --> 02:18:34.799
I'm doctor Mayor.

2339
02:18:36.000 --> 02:18:36.639
Did you look at her?

2340
02:18:36.799 --> 02:18:36.840
She?

2341
02:18:36.920 --> 02:18:39.120
Did? You tell me your story first?

2342
02:18:40.479 --> 02:18:40.840
Who's he?

2343
02:18:41.520 --> 02:18:45.079
This gentleman lives in the next apartment? Yeah, yes, go on,

2344
02:18:45.200 --> 02:18:46.200
go on, let's hear your story.

2345
02:18:46.760 --> 02:18:46.959
Well.

2346
02:18:47.879 --> 02:18:52.639
Her name was is Francis Murphy. I've known her for

2347
02:18:52.639 --> 02:18:55.319
about six months. I met her at a party. We

2348
02:18:55.479 --> 02:18:57.840
went out together a few times, liked each other, and

2349
02:18:57.920 --> 02:19:04.239
started going together. Fascinating. I guess I fell in love

2350
02:19:04.280 --> 02:19:05.760
with her, and I think she was in love with

2351
02:19:05.879 --> 02:19:10.840
me for a while. Anyway, what's your name, Michael Gordon? Yeah,

2352
02:19:11.159 --> 02:19:13.879
we'll go on. Well, she wasn't well for a while,

2353
02:19:13.959 --> 02:19:15.000
and then she told me she had to go to

2354
02:19:15.040 --> 02:19:20.319
the hospital some minor surgery minus surgery. Why that girl,

2355
02:19:21.680 --> 02:19:22.680
and that's what she told you?

2356
02:19:22.760 --> 02:19:22.920
Eh?

2357
02:19:23.479 --> 02:19:27.280
Yeah, Well, anyway, I got sort of busy and I

2358
02:19:27.280 --> 02:19:28.959
didn't get a chance to see her why she was sick.

2359
02:19:29.440 --> 02:19:30.959
And when I saw again, she wouldn't talk to me.

2360
02:19:31.040 --> 02:19:33.959
So I started seeing another girl, I know, but this

2361
02:19:34.040 --> 02:19:37.280
afternoon I got to thinking about fran I kept seeing

2362
02:19:37.319 --> 02:19:40.280
her when I was with the other girl. It bothered me,

2363
02:19:41.879 --> 02:19:44.840
so I decided i'd come over and see her. I

2364
02:19:44.879 --> 02:19:56.319
got here at six o'clock. This apartment, in case you

2365
02:19:56.360 --> 02:19:58.399
don't know, it's very easy to get up to. The

2366
02:19:58.520 --> 02:20:00.479
desk clerk sits around the corner from me elevator, and

2367
02:20:00.479 --> 02:20:01.879
you don't have to see him if you don't want to.

2368
02:20:02.680 --> 02:20:04.280
I didn't want to call and tell Fran I was

2369
02:20:04.319 --> 02:20:06.440
coming up, so I went over to the elevator without

2370
02:20:06.520 --> 02:20:09.040
talking to him and came directly up to the fourth floor,

2371
02:20:09.479 --> 02:20:17.559
knocked on her door. Helloll, Fran nice, Oh I you Fran?

2372
02:20:17.680 --> 02:20:18.159
Can I come in?

2373
02:20:19.040 --> 02:20:19.719
What do you want?

2374
02:20:19.920 --> 02:20:20.079
Oh?

2375
02:20:20.280 --> 02:20:22.079
I was just passing by. I thought i'd stop in

2376
02:20:22.159 --> 02:20:23.280
and see how you were feeling.

2377
02:20:23.719 --> 02:20:27.440
You're a little late, an't you feeling better for three weeks?

2378
02:20:27.719 --> 02:20:27.959
Ah?

2379
02:20:28.200 --> 02:20:30.200
And I don't be like that, honey. I was busy.

2380
02:20:30.280 --> 02:20:33.000
That's why I didn't see you. You're not You're gonna

2381
02:20:33.000 --> 02:20:33.319
ask me in?

2382
02:20:34.239 --> 02:20:37.319
Oh, I come in, but you can't stay long. I've

2383
02:20:37.319 --> 02:20:39.280
got an engagement with a very good friend to night.

2384
02:20:39.520 --> 02:20:46.159
Oh thanks, Yeah, well the apartment looks very nice to

2385
02:20:46.319 --> 02:20:46.959
down if you like.

2386
02:20:47.639 --> 02:20:48.600
Oh thanks.

2387
02:20:51.879 --> 02:20:52.680
Care for cigarette?

2388
02:20:53.120 --> 02:20:53.159
No?

2389
02:20:53.360 --> 02:20:53.639
Thanks?

2390
02:20:55.159 --> 02:20:56.520
Ah? You look well.

2391
02:20:57.639 --> 02:20:58.559
Not your fault, I do.

2392
02:20:59.159 --> 02:21:01.559
Oh no, I don't like that, Frand. I feel awful

2393
02:21:01.559 --> 02:21:04.000
about not seeing when you were sick, I had to

2394
02:21:04.040 --> 02:21:05.079
see a fellow from out of town.

2395
02:21:05.319 --> 02:21:06.879
Did it take you ten days to see him?

2396
02:21:07.520 --> 02:21:10.120
Well, honey, you know those things are was business. You

2397
02:21:10.280 --> 02:21:11.760
just can't make any other plans.

2398
02:21:11.840 --> 02:21:14.000
You really don't have to explain it to me, not

2399
02:21:14.120 --> 02:21:16.680
the least little bit interested in what you do, Fran,

2400
02:21:16.799 --> 02:21:17.159
look at me.

2401
02:21:18.600 --> 02:21:21.760
I'm sorry, Fran. I don't blame you for being mad

2402
02:21:21.799 --> 02:21:25.280
at me. I'm no good I guess I'm just a

2403
02:21:25.840 --> 02:21:29.040
no good bum. I never deserved having a girl like

2404
02:21:29.120 --> 02:21:32.360
you anyway. How true, But let's let by guns be

2405
02:21:32.559 --> 02:21:34.959
by guns and at least part good friends.

2406
02:21:35.040 --> 02:21:35.200
Huh.

2407
02:21:35.760 --> 02:21:37.520
That's really why I came by today. I wanted to

2408
02:21:37.559 --> 02:21:39.000
ask you, can't we be friends?

2409
02:21:40.600 --> 02:21:40.840
Well?

2410
02:21:41.000 --> 02:21:43.719
Because I loved you, Fran. You know that I did.

2411
02:21:44.360 --> 02:21:49.040
I still do, But of course I realized that's beside

2412
02:21:49.079 --> 02:21:50.959
the point I still do.

2413
02:21:51.200 --> 02:21:51.319
Uh.

2414
02:21:53.200 --> 02:21:55.840
Whatever do you mean? I've been thinking about your lot, Frand,

2415
02:21:56.719 --> 02:22:00.879
about how you walk, a fingernail, polish you use, the

2416
02:22:01.000 --> 02:22:01.760
perfume you wear.

2417
02:22:02.399 --> 02:22:05.200
You gave me for my birthday, did I?

2418
02:22:07.360 --> 02:22:11.680
Yeah, no, that's right, I remember that you sure were surprised.

2419
02:22:12.719 --> 02:22:13.360
Very nice of you.

2420
02:22:13.600 --> 02:22:17.319
It was nothing, honey, nothing at all. I wish I

2421
02:22:17.319 --> 02:22:20.000
could have gotten your mink coat. Two mink coats, one

2422
02:22:20.040 --> 02:22:23.120
for afternoon, one for night time. Really mind if I

2423
02:22:23.200 --> 02:22:23.959
sit here next to you?

2424
02:22:24.760 --> 02:22:25.399
Well, I don't know.

2425
02:22:29.280 --> 02:22:32.600
You were in a perfume now, aren't you? Huh? Yeah?

2426
02:22:32.680 --> 02:22:34.639
Perfume has a better smell when you wear it, you know?

2427
02:22:36.879 --> 02:22:39.040
Or will you forgive me Frian for being such a heel?

2428
02:22:39.879 --> 02:22:40.879
I really didn't.

2429
02:22:40.879 --> 02:22:42.799
No, I don't answer that, honey. It wasn't nice for

2430
02:22:42.879 --> 02:22:44.760
me to ask you that. There's no reason why a

2431
02:22:44.799 --> 02:22:46.399
girl like you should get stuck with a bum like me.

2432
02:22:46.479 --> 02:22:49.920
You're better off going out with other people. Who's this

2433
02:22:50.000 --> 02:22:51.360
friend you have the engagement with tonight?

2434
02:22:52.719 --> 02:22:54.680
Are you really sorry you didn't see me, Mike?

2435
02:22:55.360 --> 02:22:56.200
I told you I was.

2436
02:22:57.079 --> 02:22:58.159
I could have killed myself.

2437
02:22:58.200 --> 02:22:58.959
I felt so bad.

2438
02:23:01.680 --> 02:23:02.559
Give me a kid.

2439
02:23:03.920 --> 02:23:04.559
Shure, honey.

2440
02:23:07.559 --> 02:23:10.719
Yeah, I missed you night, and.

2441
02:23:10.799 --> 02:23:13.000
I haven't got an engagement with anyone tonight. I haven't

2442
02:23:13.000 --> 02:23:13.879
been out of the house.

2443
02:23:15.159 --> 02:23:16.879
Go to merit and I should take it easy.

2444
02:23:17.040 --> 02:23:19.600
No, that's good, honey. We'll go out tonight, huh? Or

2445
02:23:19.639 --> 02:23:21.520
would you rather I stayed here with you for dinner

2446
02:23:21.680 --> 02:23:23.319
and then we could listen to some music tonight. I

2447
02:23:23.360 --> 02:23:25.040
haven't heard your records in a long time, you know.

2448
02:23:25.239 --> 02:23:27.000
No, no, you'll have to go my guy's I'm packing

2449
02:23:27.079 --> 02:23:29.639
to do it. I have to go away and rest.

2450
02:23:29.760 --> 02:23:32.159
Will I guess I was pretty sick.

2451
02:23:32.200 --> 02:23:33.600
Oh, it's all the more reason for me to stay,

2452
02:23:33.639 --> 02:23:36.360
and I'll help your pack. We'll have a little farewell party.

2453
02:23:36.520 --> 02:23:39.040
No, no, I'm sorry, Mike. I have to go to

2454
02:23:39.120 --> 02:23:40.760
sleep as soon as I finished packing, so i'll be

2455
02:23:40.799 --> 02:23:41.879
fresh for the trip tomorrow.

2456
02:23:42.000 --> 02:23:44.479
Oh that's ridiculous. I'm just gonna sit here. I won't

2457
02:23:44.559 --> 02:23:47.200
bother you. Who are you trying? A kid?

2458
02:23:48.239 --> 02:23:48.799
What do you mean?

2459
02:23:49.000 --> 02:23:51.159
What are you trying to pull? You've got a date

2460
02:23:51.200 --> 02:23:52.840
with another guy? Tell me, I don't care who you

2461
02:23:52.959 --> 02:23:53.399
go out with.

2462
02:23:53.600 --> 02:23:54.879
I told you I didn't have a date.

2463
02:23:54.959 --> 02:23:58.559
Do you think I believe that? Who's sick to see me? Huh?

2464
02:23:58.719 --> 02:24:00.680
That's a laugh. You certainly look well enough to me.

2465
02:24:01.440 --> 02:24:02.840
That's one of the reasons I didn't go to see

2466
02:24:02.879 --> 02:24:04.639
in the hospital. I knew you were a kidding.

2467
02:24:05.159 --> 02:24:07.200
What's the matter with you? I had an operation?

2468
02:24:07.479 --> 02:24:11.239
You want to tell me about your operation? Please go,

2469
02:24:12.040 --> 02:24:13.239
I'm going I'm good and ready.

2470
02:24:13.280 --> 02:24:15.319
You go right now, right when I tell you to?

2471
02:24:15.559 --> 02:24:16.520
Who do you think you are?

2472
02:24:16.760 --> 02:24:17.360
You think you want?

2473
02:24:17.479 --> 02:24:19.040
You get out of here before I call him manager.

2474
02:24:19.559 --> 02:24:20.840
You wouldn't dare call him manager?

2475
02:24:20.959 --> 02:24:24.319
Oh wouldn't I listen? You cheap new good buck. You

2476
02:24:24.399 --> 02:24:24.879
get out of here.

2477
02:24:24.920 --> 02:24:26.319
I'll have your or shut up?

2478
02:24:26.440 --> 02:24:31.319
Okay, Oh right, jostful, give me that fall your dirty

2479
02:24:31.360 --> 02:24:31.959
hands off of me.

2480
02:24:33.920 --> 02:24:34.479
You go away.

2481
02:24:34.520 --> 02:24:35.520
I told you to shut out.

2482
02:24:35.639 --> 02:24:36.200
What do you want?

2483
02:24:36.239 --> 02:24:37.239
Way to leave me alone?

2484
02:24:37.239 --> 02:24:39.600
I want to see you uncomfortable. I want you to

2485
02:24:39.680 --> 02:24:42.479
be unhappy the way you make me unhappy. I want

2486
02:24:42.479 --> 02:24:48.639
to make sure you remember me. I used to fall

2487
02:24:48.719 --> 02:24:51.559
for that crying routine, but not anymore. Now I just

2488
02:24:51.639 --> 02:24:56.360
make you cry a little hard. You might like to

2489
02:24:56.440 --> 02:24:58.639
know I wasn't seeing anybody about business while you were

2490
02:24:58.639 --> 02:25:00.680
in the hospital. I went out every night. I've been

2491
02:25:00.719 --> 02:25:01.719
seeing your friend Trudy.

2492
02:25:03.600 --> 02:25:03.799
Yeah.

2493
02:25:03.920 --> 02:25:06.319
Truth. But then I had to come back up here

2494
02:25:06.319 --> 02:25:09.040
today and see you because I kept seeing you, and

2495
02:25:09.120 --> 02:25:09.799
I kissed Trudy.

2496
02:25:10.559 --> 02:25:13.239
To do with me, You get out of here to

2497
02:25:13.319 --> 02:25:13.639
stop that.

2498
02:25:14.799 --> 02:25:16.760
I don't love you anymore, but I keep remembering you.

2499
02:25:17.559 --> 02:25:18.159
That's no good.

2500
02:25:18.399 --> 02:25:21.719
You can stop remembering me anytime you like well, I

2501
02:25:21.840 --> 02:25:23.239
hardly recognize you when you came.

2502
02:25:23.360 --> 02:25:24.680
And that's how easy I forgot that.

2503
02:25:24.719 --> 02:25:25.239
Don't work with me.

2504
02:25:25.559 --> 02:25:27.280
Listen to me, you listen to me.

2505
02:25:28.399 --> 02:25:29.920
I'm tired of your a little problem.

2506
02:25:30.879 --> 02:25:32.840
I don't like you, and I wouldn't even like you

2507
02:25:32.879 --> 02:25:34.840
if you have any money, which Goodness knows you haven't.

2508
02:25:36.040 --> 02:25:37.719
I want you to go away and leave me alone.

2509
02:25:38.520 --> 02:25:40.120
I don't want you to come back to you anymore.

2510
02:25:41.639 --> 02:25:44.399
Tell me to day because you want to, Okay, even

2511
02:25:44.479 --> 02:25:47.520
no more. I'm going into the dule and I'm gonna

2512
02:25:47.559 --> 02:25:48.440
lost the door, and I don't care.

2513
02:25:48.399 --> 02:25:50.079
Whether you stay here forever, but I'm not coming out

2514
02:25:50.120 --> 02:25:53.079
until you leave here. But if you haven't left, you

2515
02:25:53.079 --> 02:25:54.399
a little while in the scream.

2516
02:25:54.799 --> 02:25:56.600
And I'm gonna keep screaming until somebody comes up here

2517
02:25:56.719 --> 02:25:57.600
pros you out here.

2518
02:26:06.520 --> 02:26:08.239
I just stood there for a while and looked at

2519
02:26:08.280 --> 02:26:13.399
the door, and I thought, I don't love her. I

2520
02:26:13.479 --> 02:26:18.440
don't love her at all. I hate her. That's when

2521
02:26:18.440 --> 02:26:21.200
I decided to do it, because I figured that if

2522
02:26:21.239 --> 02:26:24.000
there was no Fran that I could see Trudy or

2523
02:26:24.040 --> 02:26:25.799
anybody else I wanted to and not have to worry

2524
02:26:25.840 --> 02:26:29.920
about being lonesome for Fran or feeling sorry for Fran

2525
02:26:31.479 --> 02:26:35.200
or needing Fran and I figured you don't remember dead

2526
02:26:35.239 --> 02:26:37.639
people very well. But I know I had to do it.

2527
02:26:37.719 --> 02:26:39.799
That night before she left on her trip. I worked

2528
02:26:39.799 --> 02:26:42.520
it out like this. I'd leave right then and leave

2529
02:26:42.559 --> 02:26:44.760
her front door on the latch and talk to everybody

2530
02:26:44.799 --> 02:26:46.680
in the building and go to my boarding house and

2531
02:26:46.719 --> 02:26:48.840
tell everyone there how tired I was, and go up

2532
02:26:48.840 --> 02:26:52.239
to my room. That would be my alibi. Everyone would

2533
02:26:52.239 --> 02:26:55.920
have seen me go to sleep. Then I'd wait until everybody.

2534
02:26:55.639 --> 02:26:58.879

02:27:40.920 --> 02:27:44.719
This is Ken Niles for Romo Wines. Warm weather and

2542
02:27:44.879 --> 02:27:48.799
cold drinks just naturally go together. And here's my favorite

2543
02:27:48.840 --> 02:27:52.959
recipe for quick first quenching refreshment these scorching days. It's

2544
02:27:53.120 --> 02:27:57.280

After a hot day's work. Try Roma wine and soda.

2546
02:28:01.600 --> 02:28:05.639

delight them with delicious easy to serve Roma wine and soda.

2548
02:28:10.559 --> 02:28:13.559
Just half fill a tall glass with Roma California Burgundy

2549
02:28:13.719 --> 02:28:16.840
or Sauturn or any other Roma wine type of your choice,

2550
02:28:17.280 --> 02:28:19.159
then add ice, fill.

2551

With sparkling water and stir.

In less than a minute, you're sipping your way to

2553
02:28:23.760 --> 02:28:24.920

2556

Just pour Roma California sherry to cover a cube or

2557
02:28:32.959 --> 02:28:33.559
two of ice.

2558
02:28:34.040 --> 02:28:35.239
It's delicious.

2559
02:28:36.120 --> 02:28:40.520
Remember Roma wines are selected from the world's greatest wine reserves,

2560
02:28:40.840 --> 02:28:45.959
so refreshers made with Roma are better tasting. Always for

2567

A friend.

2568
02:29:25.319 --> 02:29:29.000
Well, I'm gone now, I'm sorry. We couldn't at least

2569
02:29:29.000 --> 02:29:32.559
be friends. I went to the front door of her apartment,

2570
02:29:33.200 --> 02:29:35.200
snapped the lock open and left, making a little noise

2571
02:29:35.239 --> 02:29:38.000
closing the door. So she's no. I gone in the

2572
02:29:38.040 --> 02:29:39.680
elevator going down, I saw a guy I didn't know,

2573
02:29:39.799 --> 02:29:46.479
but I wanted to be seen leaving. So, uh, probly

2574
02:29:46.520 --> 02:29:54.319
do you have the time quarter to seven? Thanks? Awful tired?

2575
02:29:54.760 --> 02:29:58.040
You've been working on oh yeah, early jobs every morning.

2576
02:29:59.520 --> 02:30:06.239
Matter of this is almost my bedtime. Huh so after

2577
02:30:06.319 --> 02:30:16.040
you all right, I'll say her? Uh, pardon me, yes,

2578
02:30:16.680 --> 02:30:17.159
I have for you.

2579
02:30:17.520 --> 02:30:17.719
Yeah.

2580
02:30:17.840 --> 02:30:19.920
Miss Murphy and four eleven asked me to tell you

2581
02:30:20.040 --> 02:30:23.200
she doesn't want to be disturbed. Yes, you got that

2582
02:30:23.280 --> 02:30:26.079
straight now, Miss Murphy four eleven. She doesn't want to

2583
02:30:26.079 --> 02:30:28.520
be disturbed. Not there feeding bad again?

2584
02:30:28.639 --> 02:30:28.799
Is she?

2585
02:30:29.040 --> 02:30:29.159
Oh?

2586
02:30:29.239 --> 02:30:30.840
No, no, no, just a little tired.

2587
02:30:31.440 --> 02:30:33.719
It's taking a nap or thank you?

2588
02:30:34.079 --> 02:30:35.239
She that she's not bothered.

2589
02:30:35.280 --> 02:30:36.840
Yeah, because she doesn't want to be disturbed.

2590
02:30:38.040 --> 02:30:38.840
I got the time.

2591
02:30:41.760 --> 02:30:44.399
Ten minutes to seven, minutes to seven.

2592
02:30:45.319 --> 02:30:47.680
I better get my dinner and get some sleep. Got

2593
02:30:47.719 --> 02:30:53.120
an early call in the morning. I left the building

2594
02:30:53.159 --> 02:30:55.440
and took a cab. Although I didn't have too much stuff.

2595
02:30:55.639 --> 02:30:58.040
I talked to the cab I asked him about his family.

2596
02:30:58.079 --> 02:31:00.239
I got real chumming with him because he was a

2597
02:31:00.319 --> 02:31:02.639
Red Sox man, so I was a Red Sox man

2598
02:31:03.200 --> 02:31:05.159
at the boarding house. I gave everybody a big r

2599
02:31:05.239 --> 02:31:07.399
and I allowed it around how tired I was. Even

2600
02:31:07.440 --> 02:31:09.520
had the landlady feeling sorry for me, and she usually

2601
02:31:09.559 --> 02:31:12.399
hates me. Everybody patted me on the Backup to my room,

2602
02:31:12.760 --> 02:31:14.639
I made a lot of noise dropping my shoes. When

2603
02:31:14.639 --> 02:31:16.479
I got there, I jumped up and down in the

2604
02:31:16.520 --> 02:31:19.079
bed a couple of times. Then I went over to

2605
02:31:19.120 --> 02:31:22.799
the window and I looked out at the street and

2606
02:31:22.920 --> 02:31:33.680
I waited. The traffic gradually disappeared. As I watched through

2607
02:31:33.719 --> 02:31:35.200
the early night. One by one, I could hear the

2608
02:31:35.239 --> 02:31:37.000
other boarders yell good night to somebody in the living

2609
02:31:37.079 --> 02:31:38.840
room and bang up the stairs and close their door.

2610
02:31:39.239 --> 02:31:41.840
Pretty soon I knew they had to be asleep. About

2611
02:31:41.840 --> 02:31:43.719
one o'clock in the morning, a last pair of footsteps

2612
02:31:43.760 --> 02:31:46.319
came upstairs without saying good night to anyone. I knew

2613
02:31:46.319 --> 02:31:49.000
they'd all turned in. I waited a little longer to

2614
02:31:49.079 --> 02:31:51.799
make sure everyone was sleeping, and I put my shoes

2615
02:31:51.840 --> 02:31:54.239
back on. I got my gun out of the bureau drawer.

2616
02:31:54.920 --> 02:32:00.479
I opened the door to my room. Old man Epstein

2617
02:32:00.600 --> 02:32:02.719
was sawing away down the hall making his usual racket,

2618
02:32:02.799 --> 02:32:04.600
so I felt easier about going past this door to

2619
02:32:04.639 --> 02:32:07.360
get to the stairs. But I was very careful and

2620
02:32:07.479 --> 02:32:12.079
quiet and grumbled once when I got in front of

2621
02:32:12.120 --> 02:32:17.680
his door, but I held still. Pretty soon he started

2622
02:32:17.719 --> 02:32:24.840
sawing again and I got down the stairs. It was

2623
02:32:24.840 --> 02:32:26.360
pretty dark in the living room, and I was afraid

2624
02:32:26.360 --> 02:32:28.760
i'd trip on some furniture, but I made it all right.

2625
02:32:30.079 --> 02:32:33.239
Finally felt the front door knock in my hand. I

2626
02:32:33.319 --> 02:32:34.760
opened the door as quietly as I could.

2627
02:32:37.200 --> 02:32:38.680
Then, what I don't I sat to him.

2628
02:32:38.719 --> 02:32:43.600
In that case, go boy with a long body, you

2629
02:32:43.799 --> 02:32:45.600
rightly what tomorrow?

2630
02:32:45.840 --> 02:32:47.520
Same? I got an eighty ape, man. I want you

2631
02:32:47.600 --> 02:32:49.040
to hear solid solids.

2632
02:32:49.040 --> 02:32:49.399
See it.

2633
02:32:59.840 --> 02:33:00.440
That you will be.

2634
02:33:02.280 --> 02:33:02.319
No.

2635
02:33:02.799 --> 02:33:07.040
Oh a man, good evening. Doors open if you're going in. Oh,

2636
02:33:07.120 --> 02:33:08.680
thanks for saving me the key move man.

2637
02:33:09.079 --> 02:33:11.680
Hey you're still working days, fellow border rooney?

2638
02:33:12.120 --> 02:33:14.639
Yeah? Yeah, ain't this a little past your bedtime?

2639
02:33:14.760 --> 02:33:14.879
Man?

2640
02:33:15.239 --> 02:33:16.920
Or yeah it's late. But the reason I said, why

2641
02:33:17.000 --> 02:33:19.959
do you go out at three or vouts? I wasn't

2642
02:33:20.000 --> 02:33:21.479
going out. I couldn't sleep. I was just gonna get

2643
02:33:21.479 --> 02:33:23.000
some fresh air. Come right in again. You better leave

2644
02:33:23.000 --> 02:33:23.840
the door unlocked for me.

2645
02:33:24.239 --> 02:33:25.479
Oh, boy on beef.

2646
02:33:25.959 --> 02:33:27.000
Yeah, you better get to bed.

2647
02:33:29.399 --> 02:33:33.879
Oh it's a fine night for singing. Yeah, well, don't

2648
02:33:33.879 --> 02:33:36.000
get too much of that fresh air by blood.

2649
02:33:35.760 --> 02:33:37.120
Choke in a death. Yeah, well, good night.

2650
02:33:37.520 --> 02:33:39.079
Oh hey, hey, we had that joint.

2651
02:33:39.239 --> 02:33:41.760
Really jumping a night. Hatchet Face come by, sat in

2652
02:33:41.840 --> 02:33:45.079
with us for a while. Really, Oh he's Mella. That

2653
02:33:45.239 --> 02:33:47.680
boy plays fine, so I hear yeah.

2654
02:33:54.200 --> 02:33:54.600
That good.

2655
02:33:55.520 --> 02:34:03.559
Yeah sounds great, eh Georgia Company pops sure fee good night.

2656
02:34:03.719 --> 02:34:07.280
Yeah, I'm gonna fall in hit that Pand.

2657
02:34:17.600 --> 02:34:19.639
I was frightened for a minute. I was awful frightened.

2658
02:34:20.000 --> 02:34:22.840
If Jack remembered seeing me, my carefully planned alibi was shot,

2659
02:34:23.680 --> 02:34:27.200
I thought, better or not, not tonight. But then Jack

2660
02:34:27.319 --> 02:34:29.479
wasn't like most people. He wouldn't remember in the morning.

2661
02:34:29.479 --> 02:34:31.760
You'd be too busy trying to recall a hatchet Faces lick.

2662
02:34:32.440 --> 02:34:34.520
Now I was still all right, but I had to

2663
02:34:34.559 --> 02:34:38.120
be careful. I couldn't take any chances to be safe.

2664
02:34:38.159 --> 02:34:39.520
I had to have the alibi that I'd gone to

2665
02:34:39.600 --> 02:34:42.760
bed early. I walked quietly to the street and started

2666
02:34:42.799 --> 02:34:44.959
a friend's apartment house. I was very careful all the way.

2667
02:34:45.319 --> 02:34:47.040
A couple of times cars came by, and always I

2668
02:34:47.079 --> 02:34:48.840
ducked into the shadows and waited for them to pass

2669
02:34:48.840 --> 02:34:52.159
before I continued walking. I got to hear it about

2670
02:34:52.200 --> 02:34:53.719
four o'clock, I guess. I went up to the front

2671
02:34:53.760 --> 02:34:56.239
door and tried to open it, but the big door

2672
02:34:56.360 --> 02:34:56.639
was locked.

2673
02:34:56.680 --> 02:34:57.239
I couldn't get in.

2674
02:34:58.280 --> 02:34:59.959
I took my keys out of my pocket and tried them,

2675
02:35:00.639 --> 02:35:03.200
but none of them fitted it. Bet I heard someone

2676
02:35:03.239 --> 02:35:07.319
coming up the walk. I moved back from the door

2677
02:35:07.319 --> 02:35:09.959
and squeezed against the mailboxes and waited. I was almost

2678
02:35:09.959 --> 02:35:12.719
afraid to breathe, except that I know I get in now.

2679
02:35:13.239 --> 02:35:14.879
I just wait until the people went in, and then

2680
02:35:14.959 --> 02:35:16.280
get my foot in the door to keep it from

2681
02:35:16.319 --> 02:35:17.360
completely closing again.

2682
02:35:20.920 --> 02:35:24.040
Good Night, Honey, good night darling. I'll call you in

2683
02:35:24.120 --> 02:35:25.079
the morning, Betty Jane.

2684
02:35:25.360 --> 02:35:27.399
Call me when you get home so I know you're

2685
02:35:27.399 --> 02:35:27.799
all right.

2686
02:35:28.079 --> 02:35:29.719
Oh, won't I wake anyone?

2687
02:35:29.799 --> 02:35:32.360
Oh, I'll be at the phone up. I'll answer as

2688
02:35:32.399 --> 02:35:33.280
soon as rings.

2689
02:35:33.639 --> 02:35:35.840
Okay, give me another kiss?

2690
02:35:39.040 --> 02:35:39.719
Do you love me?

2691
02:35:40.120 --> 02:35:40.319
Ah?

2692
02:35:41.399 --> 02:35:43.000
How much I'm midian?

2693
02:35:43.360 --> 02:35:45.280
Oh that's not enough?

2694
02:35:46.799 --> 02:35:48.319
Good night, good.

2695
02:35:48.200 --> 02:35:56.479
Night, Betty Jane's seven million?

2696
02:35:56.639 --> 02:35:57.479
Who laughs?

2697
02:35:57.600 --> 02:36:00.040
Better? Don't forget to call.

2698
02:36:00.840 --> 02:36:11.440
I won't, honey, Yes, darling, good night.

2699
02:36:12.399 --> 02:36:16.000
Good night, Darling, you call now, I will.

2700
02:36:24.360 --> 02:36:27.520
I was sweating. She had been close, but they hadn't

2701
02:36:27.520 --> 02:36:29.200
seen me, and my foot was holding the door open.

2702
02:36:29.239 --> 02:36:30.680
So I just waited there until I was sure she'd

2703
02:36:30.719 --> 02:36:35.360
got upstairs, and then I opened the door and quietly

2704
02:36:35.399 --> 02:36:38.520
guided it closed, and walked on tiptoe across the lobby

2705
02:36:38.559 --> 02:36:41.840
to the elevator. I needn't have wondered about avoiding the

2706
02:36:41.879 --> 02:36:44.479
desk clerk. There was no one at the desk. The

2707
02:36:44.559 --> 02:36:46.520
elevator was upstairs somewhere with the girl had just taken it,

2708
02:36:46.559 --> 02:36:51.959
and I rang the buzzer for us. I love self

2709
02:36:52.000 --> 02:36:53.760
service elevators that make you feel like you could go

2710
02:36:53.799 --> 02:36:56.440
to the moon, and elevators and subway trains. I always

2711
02:36:56.479 --> 02:37:03.319
wanted to drive ever since I was a kid. I

2712
02:37:03.440 --> 02:37:04.600
got back in the dark just in time.

2713
02:37:04.639 --> 02:37:14.920
The guy didn't see me. Please don't turn around, Please.

2714
02:37:14.680 --> 02:37:25.159
Don't turn around. My mouth was so dry. I wandered

2715
02:37:25.159 --> 02:37:26.680
for a few seconds how that guy had been able

2716
02:37:26.680 --> 02:37:27.399
to whistle.

2717
02:37:27.120 --> 02:37:27.799
You know, the way you do.

2718
02:37:29.239 --> 02:37:31.719
And I opened the elevated door and got in and

2719
02:37:31.840 --> 02:37:36.879
pushed the button for the fourth floor. I got a

2720
02:37:36.920 --> 02:37:39.239
little panicky because I thought that if someone was waiting

2721
02:37:39.280 --> 02:37:40.559
on the fourth floor. They'd see me when they opened

2722
02:37:40.600 --> 02:37:43.120
the elevated door. I almost convinced myself that someone would

2723
02:37:43.120 --> 02:37:45.600
be there waiting for me. I put my hand in

2724
02:37:45.680 --> 02:37:47.239
my coat pocket and felt the gun there and grabbed

2725
02:37:47.280 --> 02:37:50.040
it hard. It was cold, so I took it out

2726
02:37:50.040 --> 02:37:54.440
and pressed it against my forehead. That made me feel

2727
02:37:54.440 --> 02:38:05.440
a little better, but there was no one waiting for

2728
02:38:05.479 --> 02:38:09.120
the elevator. I stepped out into the dark hallway. I

2729
02:38:09.200 --> 02:38:10.799
took a pencil out of my pocket and jammed it

2730
02:38:10.799 --> 02:38:13.079
against the door so that it couldn't close. You know

2731
02:38:13.159 --> 02:38:14.639
the way those things are, they won't run when the

2732
02:38:14.680 --> 02:38:16.159
door is open, and I wanted it to be there

2733
02:38:16.159 --> 02:38:18.399
waiting for me when I finished the shooting. That was

2734
02:38:18.399 --> 02:38:19.559
the only way I figured to get out of the

2735
02:38:19.600 --> 02:38:21.879
apartment before everybody woke up and started doing something about

2736
02:38:21.920 --> 02:38:23.840
hunting for me. There's a basement exit, you know, when

2737
02:38:23.879 --> 02:38:25.399
the elevator goes down in the basement. I had all

2738
02:38:25.440 --> 02:38:29.040
that figured too. Pencil seemed to work, but to make sure,

2739
02:38:29.040 --> 02:38:30.920
I stepped back into the elevator and pushed a button,

2740
02:38:35.040 --> 02:38:37.200
and the motor clicked in the door strain, but stayed open.

2741
02:38:37.280 --> 02:38:39.920
The elevator did and't go anywhere. Then I stepped out

2742
02:38:39.920 --> 02:38:45.959
into the hall and listened. It was awful quiet, not

2743
02:38:46.079 --> 02:38:48.040
even anyone snoring, which you usually hear at night in

2744
02:38:48.040 --> 02:38:51.000
a big apartment house like this. I tried to remember

2745
02:38:51.000 --> 02:38:52.639
if there was a squeaky board in the floor anywhere

2746
02:38:52.680 --> 02:38:54.200
down the hall, but couldn't, so I just crossed my

2747
02:38:54.239 --> 02:38:58.440
fingers and tiptoed down the long, dark hallway. The only

2748
02:38:58.520 --> 02:39:00.159
light was the red exit sign that shows you where

2749
02:39:00.159 --> 02:39:02.959
the fire escaped. This Seeing from that is like working

2750
02:39:03.000 --> 02:39:04.879
at a dock room developing pictures, which I did for

2751
02:39:04.959 --> 02:39:15.840
a while two doors from friends apartment. That's the most

2752
02:39:15.840 --> 02:39:17.680
frightened I ever was in my life when the kids

2753
02:39:17.680 --> 02:39:20.280
started a yell, because in the first place, I didn't

2754
02:39:20.280 --> 02:39:21.680
know what it was right away. In the second place,

2755
02:39:21.719 --> 02:39:23.760
I thought they'll wake up everybody in an apartment and

2756
02:39:23.760 --> 02:39:25.479
they'll be up and on their feet when I start shooting.

2757
02:39:28.000 --> 02:39:29.200
I guess I held my bread for a couple of

2758
02:39:29.200 --> 02:39:30.840
minutes because when I started to try and relax, my

2759
02:39:30.879 --> 02:39:33.959
bread came out in a low whistle, so that scared

2760
02:39:33.959 --> 02:39:35.479
me too. I thought it'd be great if I get

2761
02:39:35.520 --> 02:39:36.799
a heart attack right here in the hall of a

2762
02:39:36.799 --> 02:39:38.639
strange apartment housing the little hours of the morning with

2763
02:39:38.760 --> 02:39:41.239
the gun in my pocket, It's like being afraid of

2764
02:39:41.319 --> 02:39:42.559
a fire at night, because you don't want to go

2765
02:39:42.559 --> 02:39:44.399
out in the street in your pajamas where it's worse.

2766
02:39:44.440 --> 02:39:53.760
I guess, anyhow, that they be finally quieted down. I

2767
02:39:53.840 --> 02:39:56.680
waited a while because I didn't know whether his mother

2768
02:39:56.760 --> 02:39:58.399
had gotten up to quiet him, or whether he'd just

2769
02:39:58.479 --> 02:40:02.479
gone back to sleep again. I wasn't taking any chances now.

2770
02:40:03.319 --> 02:40:10.760
It was too close to the finish. I waited. I

2771
02:40:10.840 --> 02:40:12.760
figured it was safe a few minutes later, and continued

2772
02:40:12.799 --> 02:40:16.360
snailing down the hall. I stopped at Fran's door and listened.

2773
02:40:17.719 --> 02:40:20.440
It was quiet inside. I put my hand into my

2774
02:40:20.479 --> 02:40:23.360
pocket and grabbed hold of a gun. Then I slowly

2775
02:40:23.399 --> 02:40:27.920
turned the doorknob slid the door open. It didn't creak

2776
02:40:27.920 --> 02:40:29.600
her anything, which was lucky. I got into the room

2777
02:40:29.719 --> 02:40:33.719
quietly closed the door again. I took the gun out

2778
02:40:33.719 --> 02:40:35.159
of my pocket and released the safety and went to

2779
02:40:35.200 --> 02:40:36.879
the bedroom door. It was already a little bit open.

2780
02:40:36.959 --> 02:40:38.559
S threw the crack. I could see her figure lying

2781
02:40:38.600 --> 02:40:40.840
on the bed. I pushed the door enough for Joss

2782
02:40:40.879 --> 02:40:43.079
as I could move into the room and looked closer.

2783
02:40:44.040 --> 02:40:45.920
The chop so we signed across the street was flashing

2784
02:40:45.959 --> 02:40:47.040
on and off, and as I got used to the

2785
02:40:47.079 --> 02:40:49.959
pattern it made on the walls, I saw Francis lying

2786
02:40:50.000 --> 02:40:51.959
on the bed, dressed as she had been when I'd

2787
02:40:51.959 --> 02:40:53.920
seen her early in the evening. She was lying on

2788
02:40:53.959 --> 02:40:56.040
the stomach with her face turned toward the fire side

2789
02:40:56.040 --> 02:40:58.079
of the room, towards the shadow. My nose started a tickle.

2790
02:40:58.120 --> 02:40:59.360
I thought I was going to sneeze, but when I

2791
02:40:59.399 --> 02:41:01.799
pressed the cold and against my overlifted desire left me.

2792
02:41:03.120 --> 02:41:06.840
I moved slowly and quietly toward the bed. I got

2793
02:41:06.959 --> 02:41:09.760
in a few feet. I pointed the gun right at

2794
02:41:09.799 --> 02:41:12.760
her head. The gun was weight weaving around, so I

2795
02:41:12.799 --> 02:41:13.760
held out with both hands.

2796
02:41:14.920 --> 02:41:16.440
That took very careful aim.

2797
02:41:29.440 --> 02:41:31.200
It was done. I threw the gun down on the bed,

2798
02:41:31.280 --> 02:41:32.799
right next to frank and started from the door. Iknew

2799
02:41:32.799 --> 02:41:34.040
I didn't have much time to get out of there.

2800
02:41:34.840 --> 02:41:36.559
I tripped over one of her pack stowchases in the

2801
02:41:36.600 --> 02:41:38.760
living room, but didn't fall off. It reminded me that I.

2802
02:41:38.760 --> 02:41:39.440
Got in there in time.

2803
02:41:39.520 --> 02:41:40.920
She hadn't had a chance to go on her trip.

2804
02:41:41.280 --> 02:41:42.600
I got to the front door of the apop and

2805
02:41:42.719 --> 02:41:44.280
jerked it over much to hurry.

2806
02:41:44.879 --> 02:41:46.399
Get back in there, get out of my way.

2807
02:41:47.479 --> 02:42:04.159
I told you to get back in there, and that's all.

2808
02:42:04.239 --> 02:42:08.920
I know what happens? I see, did you with me?

2809
02:42:10.159 --> 02:42:10.360
Yes?

2810
02:42:11.159 --> 02:42:12.840
I was helped by this gentleman here.

2811
02:42:13.280 --> 02:42:15.559
I used that book What are you doing here?

2812
02:42:16.319 --> 02:42:18.000
The young lady had called me and asked me to

2813
02:42:18.040 --> 02:42:21.360
stop by at four o'clock in the morning. Oh look here,

2814
02:42:21.680 --> 02:42:24.799
I'm her doctor. It must have got pretty clubby with

2815
02:42:24.879 --> 02:42:27.360
her while she was in the hospital. I was right

2816
02:42:27.399 --> 02:42:30.239
about her. That's swell now, I don't feel badly about

2817
02:42:30.280 --> 02:42:31.840
having shot her. The police will be here soon.

2818
02:42:31.920 --> 02:42:33.040
I'm gonna wait for wa.

2819
02:42:42.440 --> 02:42:49.559
Wow, m h. It's just as well. Aren't you going

2820
02:42:49.600 --> 02:42:50.440
to call the ambulance?

2821
02:42:51.719 --> 02:42:55.360
I already had? Yeah, I called the ambulance for the

2822
02:42:55.440 --> 02:42:57.840
young lady. The stake she was in when she talked

2823
02:42:57.840 --> 02:42:59.959
to me on the phone night. I knew we'd have

2824
02:43:00.079 --> 02:43:01.479
to take them back to the hospital tonight.

2825
02:43:02.319 --> 02:43:03.120
There's not much they.

2826
02:43:03.079 --> 02:43:03.920
Can do for now.

2827
02:43:04.600 --> 02:43:06.559
There wasn't much they could have done for her before

2828
02:43:07.239 --> 02:43:11.280
an embolism, blood clot the result of her surgery.

2829
02:43:10.959 --> 02:43:13.040
And the excitement she must have had earlier in the evening.

2830
02:43:13.440 --> 02:43:15.079
Then he didn't kill her.

2831
02:43:16.440 --> 02:43:19.760
She was dead three hours before he got here.

go through the river, over the woods, past grandmother's house,

2857
02:45:31.399 --> 02:45:34.280
as you head through the threshold of your beautiful home,

2858
02:45:35.559 --> 02:45:39.680
as your eyelids are so heavy, and you rest your

2859

head on that soft, cool pillow as you begin to
