Unknown Broadcast returns with four old-time radio horror stories, classic OTR suspense, vintage radio mystery, and eerie anthology drama pulled from somewhere beyond the static.

Tonight’s transmission begins aboard a deserted ghost ship, where the Annabella is found adrift with warm meals, a set table, and not a living soul on board. Then Escape invites us into a gentleman’s nightmare of cream tarts, secret clubs, death cards, and impossible exits. After that, Suspense takes us to a debt-ridden dude ranch where a missing guest, a forged check, and a body in a rumble seat turn yesterday’s confusion into tonight’s murder mystery. Finally, The Whistler follows a quiet bank teller whose perfect long-term theft becomes a perfect trap.

🔱 “Sea Fever” — CBS Radio Mystery Theater / Ian Martin
The Annabella should be an ordinary merchant ship, but bad luck clings to her from the start. A ruthless captain guards his mysterious wife, sailors vanish, whispers of mutiny rise, and the sea begins to feel less like water than judgment.🃏 “The Young Man with the Cream Tarts” — Escape / Robert Louis Stevenson
A bored prince follows a strange young man handing out cream tarts and discovers a hidden society where desperate men gamble with death. One card selects the victim. Another selects the killer.
🌙 “Last Night” — Suspense / Cornell Woolrich
Jacqueline and Gil Blaine are buried in debt at a dude ranch when a wealthy guest vanishes, money goes missing, and suspicion begins circling closer and closer. The answer is hidden in a car, a corpse, and one terrible night no one can quite explain.
💰 “Fool’s Gold” — The Whistler
Herbert Lang has spent years planning the perfect bank theft. He knows the dates, the money, the route, and the escape. But greed, murder, and one dead man’s secret turn his fortune into something he can chase forever and never find.

Four stories. Four impossible exits. Tonight, the dead are at sea, the cards are already dealt, and every fortune comes with a curse.

00:00:11.439 --> 00:00:17.199
My dear, So good to see you again. Oh what's that. Well.

2
00:00:18.079 --> 00:00:22.079
I have been trying to spruce the place up a bit,

3
00:00:22.440 --> 00:00:27.879
try to keep it a little neat and tidy. I

4
00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:34.000
don't want to get complacent, you know, but please please relax.

5
00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:40.560
Sit down. The fire is going hot. I know it

6
00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:46.280
may be the summer months, but it still gets chilly

7
00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:52.240
at night. The tea should be done any moment, and

8
00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:56.719
I'll bring you a hot cup to enjoy. I myself

9
00:00:57.399 --> 00:01:03.159
have been feeling rather warm. I hope it's not another

10
00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:05.799
case of sea fever.

11
00:01:25.159 --> 00:01:30.879
Come in. Welcome, I'm e. G.

12
00:01:31.120 --> 00:01:31.560
Marshall.

13
00:01:32.599 --> 00:01:36.920
Welcome to the sound of suspense. Welcome to the fear

14
00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:42.599
you can hear. Even before Phoenicians first sailed out of

15
00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:46.239
the Mediterranean and opened up the Seven Seas to mankind,

16
00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:47.920
the rolling.

17
00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:49.840
Waters of the world have boiled.

18
00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:53.120
From their depths some of the greatest stories of adventure,

19
00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:58.000
romance and mystery. And of all the stories dredged up

20
00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:02.640
from old Davy Jones Locker, I think my favorite is

21
00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:06.319
the strange and seemingly insoluble puzzle.

22
00:02:06.519 --> 00:02:09.280
Of what happened to the Annabella?

23
00:02:09.439 --> 00:02:11.479
How best to start the story?

24
00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:13.319
Oh?

25
00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:15.280
Yes, of course, why not?

26
00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:18.919
Let's read from the log of the ship that found

27
00:02:18.919 --> 00:02:26.360
the Annabella, the Calmed and the Doldrums. August seventh, eighteen

28
00:02:26.639 --> 00:02:32.000
sixty five. Log of the Penguin. The Captain Brisket, commanding

29
00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:37.439
no wind again this day, as we drive through the dolrooms,

30
00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:42.039
moving by paddle and steam to find the Calmed, a

31
00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:48.759
merchantman named Annabella. No answer to repeated hales, sent mister

32
00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:50.039
Bascombe to bard her.

33
00:02:51.039 --> 00:02:52.360
His report as followed.

34
00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:57.960
Not a living soul aboard, the boats still snug in

35
00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:03.479
the Davis, the captain's table freshly set for six, the

36
00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:09.280
cruise meal warm in the galley, all ship shape. The

37
00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:13.400
log records an uneventful voyage with no clue as to

38
00:03:13.479 --> 00:03:18.360
why she should have been deserted. Not a living soul aboard,

39
00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:22.800
not even a rat. What can be the answer to

40
00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:26.599
the mystery of this ill feated ship? I cannot even guess.

41
00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:40.000
I fear no one will ever know. And our mystery

42
00:03:40.039 --> 00:03:44.360
drama See Fever, was written especially for the mystery theater

43
00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:49.120
by Ian Martin and stars George Matthews and Brett Morrison.

44
00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:51.319
It is sponsored in part by.

45
00:03:51.199 --> 00:03:55.599
The Kellogg Company, makers of Kellogg's special k cereal, and

46
00:03:55.599 --> 00:03:59.000
by Anheuser Busch Incorporated Brewers of Budweiser.

47
00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:11.560
I'll be shortly with that one.

48
00:04:12.919 --> 00:04:16.839
The Annabella set sail from Charlestown Harbor on the thirteenth

49
00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:22.639
day of July eighteen sixty five. Her captain was Josiah Adams,

50
00:04:23.319 --> 00:04:27.319
a huge and forbidding giant of a man, and all

51
00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:30.279
the rest on board were his choice of crew of cutthroats,

52
00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:34.279
steves and murderers as you could set between bulkheads. There

53
00:04:34.279 --> 00:04:38.680
was one woman aboard and nineteen men, including the cook

54
00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:42.079
and two passengers, and the mood of all of them

55
00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:47.040
was ugly. In the forecastle, the booses led the rumbling.

56
00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:50.040
I tell you breaks.

57
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:53.399
I saw him, Six of them running down the afterhors

58
00:04:53.399 --> 00:04:54.920
are like old Nick was after him.

59
00:04:54.959 --> 00:04:55.879
Six of them breaks.

60
00:04:55.920 --> 00:04:58.639
I don't like it when the rats leadership.

61
00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:01.560
It's a nasty sign. I don't like much about this ship.

62
00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:05.399
Seven men on the cruise SHANGHI, no cargo aboard and sailing.

63
00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:07.480
On the thirteenth steal. The bay is good when we

64
00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:07.959
get it.

65
00:05:08.319 --> 00:05:10.800
If we get it now, you don't think we're the

66
00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:11.680
owner of wall.

67
00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:14.040
No, no, mister Ames. It worries me.

68
00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:18.480
It's Captain Josiah Adams, not much giving their turn, but

69
00:05:18.519 --> 00:05:21.759
he does. I'm big, but he'd make twice of me,

70
00:05:22.519 --> 00:05:24.079
more like an ape than a man.

71
00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:28.360
Strong as one anyway, yea or lack a bull, as

72
00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:31.399
you might say, if the liquor has a lot of

73
00:05:31.399 --> 00:05:35.720
his vitals, he's got a scowl on him like that colic.

74
00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:40.199
Was at him. A colic. There's no colic that's eaten him.

75
00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:41.959
Has ever seen him without his cap?

76
00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:42.639
Hugh?

77
00:05:43.160 --> 00:05:45.560
How often does the folks shall hands see a cap

78
00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:48.279
bare headed? What do you mean?

79
00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:51.519
That's when I piped mister Ames aboard. I went to

80
00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:53.319
his capin to tell him the owner was on ship.

81
00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:55.759
He opened the door and I saw him his head

82
00:05:56.120 --> 00:05:58.439
ball there is a white turnup, and his scalp is

83
00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:00.759
chewed up as the rip tide or off shatam light.

84
00:06:01.439 --> 00:06:02.199
I don't get you.

85
00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:05.879
They say he lost his last ship in Hudson Bay.

86
00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:08.639
He was washed ashore and found his way back to

87
00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:11.279
the state's overland. The Indians caught him.

88
00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:19.800
And you mean he scalped him and he lived, you see, so.

89
00:06:19.879 --> 00:06:26.079
That explains his stall face. He mightn't be a bad master, Dan.

90
00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:27.519
I wouldn't count on it.

91
00:06:28.199 --> 00:06:30.480
I think his heart is as black as his skull.

92
00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:31.120
Is white.

93
00:06:32.439 --> 00:06:35.480
Don't forget the racks, they're full of bells.

94
00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:36.519
You're tricking the wheel.

95
00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:38.639
Dot's not keep mister Peabody waiting.

96
00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:41.680
Come on, what more do you know?

97
00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:46.519
Watch ask the captain himself. I think you're full of wind.

98
00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:49.519
I'd best get to the hell you're afraid to ask

99
00:06:49.560 --> 00:06:52.639
the captain brags? Watch ask the mate just this way,

100
00:06:52.839 --> 00:06:54.600
Tell me, mister Peabody.

101
00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:55.879
Where are we sailing with no cargo?

102
00:06:56.160 --> 00:06:57.279
Why did we have to shedding?

103
00:06:57.319 --> 00:07:03.639
High? Half a crew? Arlie or bills? Sound isn't gone?

104
00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:06.079
Stand to the wheel and as sir.

105
00:07:06.120 --> 00:07:14.800
Mister breebody, mister Peabody said, okay, he's like I. I

106
00:07:14.839 --> 00:07:19.160
was wondering to myself as it might be where we headed.

107
00:07:18.879 --> 00:07:22.199
For, saying Africa the gold.

108
00:07:22.600 --> 00:07:23.160
I knew it.

109
00:07:23.319 --> 00:07:24.360
I knew it in my bones.

110
00:07:24.480 --> 00:07:24.879
I knew it.

111
00:07:24.959 --> 00:07:27.120
Why did you ask? It's blackburden.

112
00:07:27.560 --> 00:07:28.399
That's what it is.

113
00:07:28.759 --> 00:07:33.439
Slave trading, the slave traders. Did I believe Briggs.

114
00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:38.120
In America legally, but not in Brazil. They still paid

115
00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:42.600
fancy passes in Brazil. That's what it is. I'm not alone.

116
00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:46.560
And if it is what you object me, one of

117
00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:50.279
the pay is high enough for one question, sir, any

118
00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:52.040
further questions.

119
00:07:51.560 --> 00:07:53.680
Or answers you will have to get from the captain,

120
00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:58.759
mister Ames or his fellow passenger, mister.

121
00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:04.560
Rogers, after you've stood your watch. They're in the cabin

122
00:08:04.680 --> 00:08:05.959
if you have a care to risk it.

123
00:08:06.399 --> 00:08:15.480
Ah, So it's blackbirding. He just what Christophson guessed.

124
00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:29.240
Whine Rogers savy from Spain, sharpens the appetite before dinner.

125
00:08:29.519 --> 00:08:30.839
Something we'll have to wet mine.

126
00:08:31.199 --> 00:08:35.919
This miserable tub rolls like a horse in mud. You

127
00:08:36.080 --> 00:08:37.840
soon get your sea legs.

128
00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:39.759
A small need of them. I'll have where I'm going.

129
00:08:40.120 --> 00:08:44.000
You'll need them to get there. So the Gold Coast,

130
00:08:44.480 --> 00:08:45.720
mister Rugs.

131
00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:50.279
The Gold coast, heat and dust and flies and traffic

132
00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:54.519
in human bodies. Slave Fred of Rogers, a fine job

133
00:08:54.679 --> 00:08:58.200
or a fine gentleman? Would you prefer a prison cell

134
00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:02.320
is dead? I stole from you and was caught. Let

135
00:09:02.320 --> 00:09:04.519
me choose whether to rot in jail, in poverty, or

136
00:09:04.519 --> 00:09:05.720
in African and luxury.

137
00:09:06.240 --> 00:09:07.159
I chose the second.

138
00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:09.399
Now, in Heaven's name, let's forget the first.

139
00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:16.159
Gladly, more wine as much as you desire, there's no

140
00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:19.120
lack of it, more than enough.

141
00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:19.639
For the voyage.

142
00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:21.440
If the captain doesn't drink it.

143
00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:26.039
Captain Adams prefers a last year brow. He must be

144
00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:29.480
the biggest man I've ever seen, and that here.

145
00:09:30.559 --> 00:09:34.039
I wouldn't refer to it in front of him. He's

146
00:09:34.120 --> 00:09:35.519
tender about that scalp.

147
00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:39.960
I wouldn't blame him, however, survived a tribute to his

148
00:09:40.080 --> 00:09:41.440
magnificent constitution.

149
00:09:42.879 --> 00:09:49.080
The man is all steel, not all well, No, he

150
00:09:49.159 --> 00:09:51.039
has at least one soft spot.

151
00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:54.440
M oh, who is who?

152
00:09:55.320 --> 00:09:55.600
You mean?

153
00:09:55.639 --> 00:09:56.120
His wife?

154
00:09:56.240 --> 00:09:56.440
Well?

155
00:09:56.559 --> 00:09:58.799
You know the old legend is that it's bad luck

156
00:09:58.840 --> 00:09:59.720
to have a woman.

157
00:09:59.440 --> 00:10:05.720
Aboard a woman a book? Are you trying to tell

158
00:10:05.720 --> 00:10:10.320
me that Mistress Adams is a boarder's shift? Of course,

159
00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:14.200
I thought you knew this is no place for a woman.

160
00:10:15.559 --> 00:10:18.000
Ten it, Rogers, I won't have it. The woman must

161
00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:18.639
be put ashore.

162
00:10:19.639 --> 00:10:21.320
I want to talk to the captain immediately.

163
00:10:21.320 --> 00:10:23.600
If you want the captain, you'll find him on the bridge.

164
00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:27.840
How do you know, ah, my reputation as a lady's man,

165
00:10:27.879 --> 00:10:30.960
mister Ames, Remember I make it a point to determine

166
00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:34.120
first when the lady is available.

167
00:10:34.440 --> 00:10:38.840
You bet her bit joking, Rogers, I wouldn't give that

168
00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:39.840
for your life.

169
00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:49.080
If Captain Adams discovered your trying with his wife when

170
00:10:49.240 --> 00:10:54.200
sprasher in Captain's that's God's worry in mind, seeming not yours.

171
00:10:54.600 --> 00:10:58.039
Hold it to the point, a said Captain Adams.

172
00:10:58.200 --> 00:10:58.720
Where is it?

173
00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:04.679
Mister Eames? Would you no watch? You hurt me? And

174
00:11:04.799 --> 00:11:08.399
get off my bridge? No one sets foot behind the

175
00:11:08.440 --> 00:11:12.519
wheel except that my orders are invitation, Dennis, I take

176
00:11:12.559 --> 00:11:15.039
on bridge at your or you take what you will.

177
00:11:15.399 --> 00:11:18.759
My only concern when I'm on this bridge is the

178
00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:22.600
sailing of this ship. Now will you take yourself off it?

179
00:11:23.080 --> 00:11:25.600
I'll meet you aft to the watch six bells in

180
00:11:25.679 --> 00:11:27.840
the saloon and you can have your word with me.

181
00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:30.679
You're free. That's not good in a cat you forget

182
00:11:30.759 --> 00:11:33.320
hurd you enough or not? It will have to serve.

183
00:11:33.799 --> 00:11:36.399
Now will you go below? Or do I have to

184
00:11:36.519 --> 00:11:45.440
throw you off bodily? At what time is tinkle?

185
00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:49.320
Happa has six bells for you and mister Rogers And

186
00:11:49.399 --> 00:11:51.840
the rage here is lady later?

187
00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:56.639
Well, they don't join us, really the one.

188
00:11:56.720 --> 00:12:00.639
They'll say, curious or and curious why this lady's so

189
00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:01.840
afraid for us to meet her.

190
00:12:02.000 --> 00:12:03.320
I couldn't tell us.

191
00:12:03.799 --> 00:12:06.000
She won't be with us long enough to trouble about me.

192
00:12:06.279 --> 00:12:10.120
Still is intriguing Wydy you shipped with the captain before?

193
00:12:10.240 --> 00:12:13.399
Is it always like this when his wife is aboard?

194
00:12:14.039 --> 00:12:17.360
Mistress Annabella has never chiled with the.

195
00:12:17.480 --> 00:12:21.360
Captain, ah till this time, And this time will be

196
00:12:21.399 --> 00:12:22.159
a short voice.

197
00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:28.360
Tell anybody what does the lady look like? Is she fair? Dark? Fighting?

198
00:12:29.919 --> 00:12:32.519
You talk too much? This is the last time I

199
00:12:32.600 --> 00:12:34.399
warn you now.

200
00:12:34.440 --> 00:12:36.840
Us are those old bones of yours in the galley,

201
00:12:36.919 --> 00:12:38.320
and tend to your own affairs.

202
00:12:38.519 --> 00:12:38.960
Ah.

203
00:12:42.320 --> 00:12:44.440
You want to know what my wife looks.

204
00:12:44.240 --> 00:12:45.399
Like, mister Rogers.

205
00:12:45.480 --> 00:12:50.320
So a natural curiosity, surely, and let me satisfy it

206
00:12:51.200 --> 00:12:52.279
once and for all.

207
00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:55.240
Annabella is as lovely as I am ugly.

208
00:12:55.639 --> 00:12:56.440
Ah.

209
00:12:56.600 --> 00:13:00.759
And we are not to meet the lady none alone

210
00:13:00.919 --> 00:13:03.320
tonight and always.

211
00:13:04.159 --> 00:13:08.240
One further word to you, mister Rogers. My wife is

212
00:13:08.320 --> 00:13:12.120
on board this voyage because I've decided that I will

213
00:13:12.159 --> 00:13:15.519
never go anywhere without her, nor will she go anywhere

214
00:13:15.559 --> 00:13:20.360
without me. We cling to ourselves, mister Rogers, and need

215
00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:25.600
no other companionship. I want you to understand this very clearly.

216
00:13:25.840 --> 00:13:29.440
You have no fears for your wife's prevacy. By tomorrow

217
00:13:29.559 --> 00:13:32.120
I want her off the ship. What I'm ordering you

218
00:13:32.200 --> 00:13:35.000
to turn about you could have saved time and trouble

219
00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:37.279
that you. Let me tell you earlier on the bridge.

220
00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:40.799
It turn about for where to port. I don't want

221
00:13:40.840 --> 00:13:41.799
your wife on board.

222
00:13:43.320 --> 00:13:46.679
This voyage has begun, The course is set in. It

223
00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:48.240
will not be changed.

224
00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:51.440
May I remind you captain that this is my ship.

225
00:13:51.559 --> 00:13:55.600
This is my ship, mister Eames, my ship.

226
00:13:55.720 --> 00:14:00.360
From port to port. Your ship in the harbor, lying

227
00:14:00.480 --> 00:14:02.360
on the sea, my ship.

228
00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:03.320
Here.

229
00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:06.960
I give the orders. Here I expect to be obeyed

230
00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:07.600
in the name.

231
00:14:07.480 --> 00:14:09.879
Of all that's reasonable man in a few of our business.

232
00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:12.000
Can't you see this is no place for a woman.

233
00:14:12.080 --> 00:14:16.039
There's only one place for Annabella. My wife remains at

234
00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:19.720
my side on a slave ship, by my side. You

235
00:14:19.919 --> 00:14:24.559
here by my side. I will hear no more of

236
00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:28.679
this by the living God, owner or not, I'll clap

237
00:14:28.759 --> 00:14:29.440
you an iron.

238
00:14:29.759 --> 00:14:38.559
So began the voyage of the Annabella. Distrust and fear below,

239
00:14:38.639 --> 00:14:43.080
and tween decks with bad luck in the shrouds, like

240
00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:47.879
a storm gathering. Her bow cut the water with good speed,

241
00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:51.919
But it was towards the wake the cruise eyes turned.

242
00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:56.799
Where the legend is that Davy Jones swims the wake

243
00:14:57.039 --> 00:15:00.519
if any vessel marked for his locker. Bottom of the

244
00:15:00.519 --> 00:15:15.759
sea our return shortly we act too. For the first week,

245
00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:21.039
the Annabella sailed southeast by south, beating down towards the tropics.

246
00:15:21.879 --> 00:15:26.159
The crew still grumbled, and Rogers strove to drown the

247
00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:29.559
irresistible temptation to try and catch a glimpse of the

248
00:15:29.639 --> 00:15:36.200
captain's wife by drinking steadily. Two things served to deter him,

249
00:15:36.440 --> 00:15:40.080
the captain's wary vigilance and his fear of the sheer

250
00:15:40.120 --> 00:15:43.559
brewed strength of the man. But once the ship veered

251
00:15:43.639 --> 00:15:47.200
due east and the mounting seas demanded more and more

252
00:15:47.279 --> 00:15:52.080
of the captain's time on deck, Roger's courage and desire

253
00:15:52.559 --> 00:15:53.360
began to grow.

254
00:16:00.919 --> 00:16:02.399
Well, it's time to turn in.

255
00:16:02.720 --> 00:16:05.879
Really, what time is that, eight bolls?

256
00:16:06.679 --> 00:16:08.960
I'd take a turn on deck if the sun wasn't down.

257
00:16:10.240 --> 00:16:14.679
Step yeah for my bunk in the book and you

258
00:16:15.159 --> 00:16:15.519
are the.

259
00:16:15.480 --> 00:16:17.960
Only book I care to open is the closed one

260
00:16:17.960 --> 00:16:20.799
that lies astern of us. Oh, if you're wise, you'll

261
00:16:20.840 --> 00:16:24.559
steer clear of both the captain and his wife. And

262
00:16:24.759 --> 00:16:28.200
that Spanish sherriot gets stronger.

263
00:16:27.679 --> 00:16:31.799
Than next season, would not rushers the night, mister Eames.

264
00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:36.720
Oh good if the captain off of the bridge, Yeah,

265
00:16:36.720 --> 00:16:38.480
it's making up some dirty weather.

266
00:16:38.559 --> 00:16:43.080
Out. I won't sleep much this night. But now tight,

267
00:16:43.200 --> 00:16:50.360
mister Emes, we may be taking some seas you now

268
00:16:50.399 --> 00:16:54.360
forbid rudgers. So, Captain, I'm not quite finished the bottle.

269
00:16:54.679 --> 00:16:56.879
I'd take it with me to my bunk if I

270
00:16:56.919 --> 00:17:00.360
were you. It'll be safer on your back when the

271
00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:01.879
swells begin to lift.

272
00:17:02.159 --> 00:17:05.799
I I, captain, but don't bring us through safe and sound,

273
00:17:05.920 --> 00:17:06.319
won't you.

274
00:17:06.680 --> 00:17:10.200
I won't leave the bridge till I know all secure.

275
00:17:11.599 --> 00:17:20.680
I want you to sleep sound this night. Rogers, Oh, man's.

276
00:17:20.440 --> 00:17:25.839
The wheel, mister b buddy pass sounder hand with her and.

277
00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:29.759
The second mate. Man's the bridge is good enough? Follow me,

278
00:17:29.839 --> 00:17:36.880
act like yeah, help me to move this hatch? Hur

279
00:17:37.200 --> 00:17:37.759
well enough.

280
00:17:38.640 --> 00:17:45.359
A'm batting down tight when I've dropped through, make sure she's.

281
00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:48.000
Bought tight, hi ion mm hm.

282
00:17:50.480 --> 00:18:04.160
H oh, sire, I thought you were going to the bridge.

283
00:18:04.279 --> 00:18:09.039
I intended you to think so, Annabella disappointed to find

284
00:18:09.079 --> 00:18:10.160
me back so soon?

285
00:18:10.880 --> 00:18:14.799
Disappointment? No, but how did you come.

286
00:18:14.599 --> 00:18:16.440
Back through the stern hatch?

287
00:18:16.720 --> 00:18:17.279
But why?

288
00:18:17.799 --> 00:18:21.839
I had my reasons? You're sure you're not disappointed that

289
00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:26.680
I returned? No, dear, you don't find it lonely shut

290
00:18:26.680 --> 00:18:28.559
in here in the cabin.

291
00:18:29.160 --> 00:18:33.240
Sometimes I'd like to go on deck and feel the

292
00:18:33.279 --> 00:18:35.599
fresh salt breathe on my face.

293
00:18:35.319 --> 00:18:38.720
And meet the cruel, the passengers.

294
00:18:37.960 --> 00:18:43.559
Perhaps perhaps at least the passengers, the owner of the ship.

295
00:18:43.599 --> 00:18:46.240
And mister Rogers, isn't it.

296
00:18:46.240 --> 00:18:48.440
You know his name?

297
00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:51.319
Rogers? You said it just now? How did you know

298
00:18:51.400 --> 00:18:51.839
his name?

299
00:18:53.359 --> 00:18:55.920
You've mentioned it to me yourself, to sire? How else

300
00:18:55.920 --> 00:18:56.440
would I know?

301
00:18:57.319 --> 00:19:02.440
And and you love me, don't you, of course, Josiah.

302
00:19:02.559 --> 00:19:04.799
And you'll never leave me, never.

303
00:19:05.279 --> 00:19:11.400
Oh, forgive me, please, my dearest, you mustn't mind my jealousy.

304
00:19:12.519 --> 00:19:12.960
Rogers.

305
00:19:13.119 --> 00:19:17.160
I see that look in his eyes, a hunger, a

306
00:19:17.440 --> 00:19:21.240
burning hunger for the sight of a woman and the

307
00:19:21.359 --> 00:19:23.640
feel of her body beneath his hands.

308
00:19:24.599 --> 00:19:29.559
Annabella, you knew his name? If you've been deceiving.

309
00:19:29.079 --> 00:19:32.519
You, never even seeing the man, how can you accuse

310
00:19:32.559 --> 00:19:35.720
me of ever forgetting? I'm your wife.

311
00:19:36.400 --> 00:19:41.000
With someone's coming to the cabin. Who is it?

312
00:19:41.559 --> 00:19:43.519
I don't know who is it?

313
00:19:43.720 --> 00:19:47.160
Just Siah, what's in your mind? Whoever it is?

314
00:19:47.240 --> 00:19:48.160
I swear.

315
00:19:50.119 --> 00:19:56.960
Cabin you do as I say, very well, Josiah.

316
00:19:57.119 --> 00:20:00.200
Mister Adam, are you alone?

317
00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:00.880
Come?

318
00:20:00.880 --> 00:20:01.839
Come? I know you are.

319
00:20:03.039 --> 00:20:05.240
I saw the captain off the bridge for the night.

320
00:20:06.519 --> 00:20:11.319
Would you allow me to introduce myself Thomas Rogers, gentlemen

321
00:20:12.200 --> 00:20:16.400
at your service? Can I persuade you to share tonight's

322
00:20:16.480 --> 00:20:20.880
vigil and join me in a glass of sherry?

323
00:20:21.000 --> 00:20:21.440
Oh?

324
00:20:21.440 --> 00:20:24.519
How kind of you? The sight of a pretty face?

325
00:20:25.319 --> 00:20:30.599
Pretty face, Rogers, Captain Hackam, mine was not the face

326
00:20:30.680 --> 00:20:31.920
you expected to see.

327
00:20:32.319 --> 00:20:32.519
See.

328
00:20:32.519 --> 00:20:34.839
I thought you'd gone to the bridge, So you did.

329
00:20:34.960 --> 00:20:35.799
Won't you come in?

330
00:20:35.880 --> 00:20:36.079
Well?

331
00:20:36.119 --> 00:20:41.880
I think did come in? You wanted to meet my wife?

332
00:20:42.039 --> 00:20:43.000
Didn't? Yes?

333
00:20:43.119 --> 00:20:46.359
I must not with me present? Right me?

334
00:20:46.440 --> 00:20:46.759
Captain?

335
00:20:46.839 --> 00:20:52.640
You you do misunderstand Rogers. The misunderstanding is all yours.

336
00:20:53.319 --> 00:20:57.799
Your first sea voyage you said you should have said

337
00:20:57.960 --> 00:21:06.680
your Oh god, why will you hear me? Mine? And

338
00:21:06.960 --> 00:21:08.640
no one shall touch her but me?

339
00:21:09.680 --> 00:21:16.079
No one will take her from me, no one.

340
00:21:18.279 --> 00:21:18.920
What happened?

341
00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:20.599
I heard him? Ah?

342
00:21:21.720 --> 00:21:23.759
Wow, you chill him.

343
00:21:24.000 --> 00:21:27.880
He should have snapped his neck like a chicken. I

344
00:21:28.000 --> 00:21:29.720
wanted him to supper.

345
00:21:32.279 --> 00:21:32.559
To me.

346
00:21:32.880 --> 00:21:34.559
No one shall have you with me?

347
00:21:35.359 --> 00:21:37.240
Shy? Aren't you afraid?

348
00:21:37.279 --> 00:21:42.160
You're afraid the crew, everybody on board, when they find out.

349
00:21:42.000 --> 00:21:45.640
I'll find out no one knows he's here. He'd make

350
00:21:45.839 --> 00:21:48.680
very sure of that. His body will go out of

351
00:21:48.759 --> 00:21:52.519
the stern window and into the sea. Men are falling

352
00:21:52.599 --> 00:21:56.359
overboard on a rough night like this, especially drunken men.

353
00:21:57.480 --> 00:21:59.440
No one will know what happened to him.

354
00:21:59.480 --> 00:22:00.559
Make sure you and me.

355
00:22:04.160 --> 00:22:10.759
M h trimmer a little Briggs. You're losing wind. Bring

356
00:22:10.759 --> 00:22:14.160
your nose up, man, God watch you for a clumsy

357
00:22:14.480 --> 00:22:17.440
boom here. Let me have the wheels.

358
00:22:18.480 --> 00:22:20.400
Have your eyes. You've lost way.

359
00:22:20.279 --> 00:22:23.240
On her, sorry, captain, the wind just neared a couple

360
00:22:23.240 --> 00:22:23.799
of points.

361
00:22:24.160 --> 00:22:26.240
Sailor should smell a wind chain.

362
00:22:26.640 --> 00:22:27.319
Yet what I had?

363
00:22:27.359 --> 00:22:28.680
All of your excuses?

364
00:22:29.680 --> 00:22:31.279
You think you can hold her on this.

365
00:22:31.400 --> 00:22:33.559
Tech and just trially captain sir?

366
00:22:34.039 --> 00:22:38.319
Yeah, then, but keep her running off backs? Get mister rain,

367
00:22:38.680 --> 00:22:39.960
how the word you below?

368
00:22:40.079 --> 00:22:43.000
I can't leave the bridge. Have had your position to

369
00:22:43.119 --> 00:22:51.519
join your own if you insist searching, Sir, I thought

370
00:22:51.559 --> 00:22:54.559
you were below you and my Kevin. I knocked at

371
00:22:54.559 --> 00:22:55.039
the door.

372
00:22:55.079 --> 00:22:58.119
There was now once for you inside, of course not.

373
00:22:58.839 --> 00:23:01.279
It's not my custom to leave the private shows.

374
00:23:02.160 --> 00:23:03.599
My wife was resting eyes.

375
00:23:04.599 --> 00:23:07.279
I didn't want to disturb. What is it you want?

376
00:23:07.720 --> 00:23:09.240
Can we get out of discrossed?

377
00:23:09.359 --> 00:23:09.519
Win?

378
00:23:10.039 --> 00:23:13.079
And you don't want to leave the wheel. This fool

379
00:23:13.279 --> 00:23:16.160
handles it like a landlover. You can trust me, can

380
00:23:17.000 --> 00:23:22.079
I wonder? Come I have the tatrail strange be the

381
00:23:22.119 --> 00:23:25.359
way country. Over here on the lease side, you'll find

382
00:23:25.359 --> 00:23:27.440
the breeze a little mortial liking.

383
00:23:30.000 --> 00:23:35.279
You know, I've been concern since mister rogers mysterious disappearance

384
00:23:35.359 --> 00:23:40.599
last night. It'sterious A drunken sat never found his sea legs.

385
00:23:41.200 --> 00:23:44.079
I warned him. This deck, clear of the deck. We

386
00:23:44.160 --> 00:23:46.480
did every mortal thing we could to find this.

387
00:23:46.759 --> 00:23:50.319
I know, I know, But without him now to leave

388
00:23:50.359 --> 00:23:51.960
as my agent on the Gold.

389
00:23:51.720 --> 00:23:55.519
Coast, I go on, Well, it's.

390
00:23:55.440 --> 00:23:59.319
Juice it awkwards without someone to recruit the next match

391
00:23:59.359 --> 00:24:01.160
after we leave, there's a little point.

392
00:24:00.920 --> 00:24:04.960
In continuing on. So do you think we should put

393
00:24:05.039 --> 00:24:06.799
back for America.

394
00:24:07.599 --> 00:24:10.920
Or the nearest port where I can pick up a

395
00:24:10.960 --> 00:24:17.640
suitable man for replacements, and perhaps put my wife for sure? Well,

396
00:24:17.680 --> 00:24:22.279
since you mentioned it, I don't trust women too much

397
00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:27.079
in a business like this. They talk too much.

398
00:24:27.279 --> 00:24:30.319
Just strap her at whatever port we touch.

399
00:24:31.039 --> 00:24:34.680
I should be glad to make sure she is suitably settled,

400
00:24:35.039 --> 00:24:35.880
if you wish.

401
00:24:35.720 --> 00:24:39.359
It, if I wish it, do you take me to

402
00:24:39.440 --> 00:24:46.240
be mad? Mister rains mad? Well, believe it so nothing,

403
00:24:46.400 --> 00:24:48.200
don't you think I see.

404
00:24:48.079 --> 00:24:50.519
Through your childish sub debuge.

405
00:24:51.359 --> 00:24:55.160
Leave Annabelle with you while I sail off to the

406
00:24:55.279 --> 00:24:58.599
ends of the earth. Please, I are you too trying

407
00:24:58.640 --> 00:25:01.799
to steal her away from me? But you can't have

408
00:25:02.039 --> 00:25:06.400
her anymore than Rogers could captain you. Your wife means

409
00:25:06.519 --> 00:25:10.079
nothing to me. You make sure she doesn't, just as

410
00:25:10.160 --> 00:25:14.839
I made sure with Rogers that it was you who. Yes,

411
00:25:15.079 --> 00:25:19.880
I killed him with these two hands, and he disappeared,

412
00:25:20.720 --> 00:25:26.359
just as you will. No, No, she mine only by

413
00:25:27.559 --> 00:25:30.200
No one can have her but me.

414
00:25:31.480 --> 00:25:45.680
Yeah, into the sea aims like Rogers.

415
00:25:45.640 --> 00:25:48.000
The sea can hold her secret.

416
00:25:48.119 --> 00:25:49.200
See you all right, captain?

417
00:25:49.559 --> 00:25:52.119
I thought I heard it. I told you to mind

418
00:25:52.119 --> 00:25:52.680
that wheel.

419
00:25:52.799 --> 00:25:53.880
Will I put the lash on it?

420
00:25:54.000 --> 00:25:54.200
Sir?

421
00:25:54.680 --> 00:25:56.640
I thought I heard a cry and that I could

422
00:25:56.640 --> 00:26:01.640
trust you will use cancer. But were's miss Ames, He's glad. Why, well,

423
00:26:01.680 --> 00:26:03.640
it was just that I thought I heard a splash it.

424
00:26:04.480 --> 00:26:09.480
Oh I I you can trust me, sir?

425
00:26:10.039 --> 00:26:14.400
No, no let go, No trust you with the wheel, No.

426
00:26:15.920 --> 00:26:16.599
Trust you with.

427
00:26:25.480 --> 00:26:31.160
Two more overboard, nineteen men the Annabella sailed with, and

428
00:26:31.200 --> 00:26:36.119
now there were seventeen evil man all of them, and

429
00:26:36.200 --> 00:26:40.799
Davy Jones swam the wake waiting for them. For the

430
00:26:40.920 --> 00:26:45.359
Captain mad would imagine jealousy had crossed the line of sanity.

431
00:26:46.240 --> 00:26:49.680
His obsession convinced him that he would know no peace

432
00:26:50.200 --> 00:26:54.279
untill everyone on the Annabella was gone, save himself and

433
00:26:54.319 --> 00:27:09.519
his wife. I'll be back shortly with a three. The

434
00:27:09.599 --> 00:27:13.000
squall that blew up so suddenly on the Annabella proved

435
00:27:13.039 --> 00:27:13.480
to be a.

436
00:27:13.480 --> 00:27:14.799
Full fledged hurricane.

437
00:27:15.240 --> 00:27:18.680
That's so fully occupied all aboard that there was no

438
00:27:18.759 --> 00:27:23.359
time to question missing men. Indeed, two other hands were

439
00:27:23.400 --> 00:27:26.319
blown out of the rigging or shaken loose before the

440
00:27:26.359 --> 00:27:29.480
Annabella found calm waters.

441
00:27:28.640 --> 00:27:30.599
In the eye of the storm.

442
00:27:30.839 --> 00:27:33.400
Now again, discontent grows in the forecastle.

443
00:27:34.160 --> 00:27:38.359
The talk of a haunted ship resumed. The word mutiny

444
00:27:39.039 --> 00:27:40.440
is on everyone's lips.

445
00:27:43.359 --> 00:27:45.680
Mister Buddy, mister buddy.

446
00:27:46.400 --> 00:27:47.400
Dinner early white.

447
00:27:47.759 --> 00:27:50.440
Now, Sir said, it's Muteley.

448
00:27:51.359 --> 00:27:55.519
What you heard, miss her? Muteley, you're about to break out.

449
00:27:55.519 --> 00:28:00.279
Oh White forecast grumblings. You know it's all took. They

450
00:28:00.279 --> 00:28:00.880
wouldn't dare.

451
00:28:01.000 --> 00:28:02.119
It's the Peabody, Sir.

452
00:28:02.200 --> 00:28:04.920
I've been at Seaman and Boy for over sixty year.

453
00:28:05.880 --> 00:28:07.039
I know when it's talk.

454
00:28:07.880 --> 00:28:11.359
They say the ship is cursed. Who says the Boston

455
00:28:11.519 --> 00:28:15.599
Sir Christophson he says he saw the rats leave the

456
00:28:15.640 --> 00:28:17.400
ship before we sails.

457
00:28:17.079 --> 00:28:19.880
And for an old wife superstition, he's ready for mute.

458
00:28:19.880 --> 00:28:22.920
It's a great deal more than that. There's five men

459
00:28:23.000 --> 00:28:23.839
lost already.

460
00:28:24.400 --> 00:28:25.319
I'm aware of it.

461
00:28:25.680 --> 00:28:29.319
Most of all it's the captain's wife. They'd luck with

462
00:28:29.359 --> 00:28:33.000
a woman aboard, particularly one that he keeps it away.

463
00:28:33.200 --> 00:28:35.400
But they expect the captain the parade his wife in

464
00:28:35.400 --> 00:28:36.440
front of common seamen.

465
00:28:36.559 --> 00:28:37.920
No, sir, but they wonder.

466
00:28:38.039 --> 00:28:38.640
I wonder what.

467
00:28:39.359 --> 00:28:42.759
Some say she's a witch. This is ugle at sin,

468
00:28:43.680 --> 00:28:46.680
and some say she's sick of the small box.

469
00:28:47.640 --> 00:28:48.880
A small box, it's a.

470
00:28:49.000 --> 00:28:49.680
Board, sir.

471
00:28:49.880 --> 00:28:50.680
I'm feared.

472
00:28:51.680 --> 00:28:54.839
Now, you do allarm me. I just have a look

473
00:28:54.880 --> 00:28:55.000
at it.

474
00:28:55.359 --> 00:28:57.640
If he has it, he has it, I'll put him

475
00:28:57.680 --> 00:29:00.839
in a leather ratte so I don't spread. The first

476
00:29:00.880 --> 00:29:03.799
thing is the mutiny, sir, that has to be stopped.

477
00:29:03.960 --> 00:29:05.200
It has to beginning first.

478
00:29:05.559 --> 00:29:08.519
It will begin unless the captain butt's about.

479
00:29:09.079 --> 00:29:11.599
You know how much chance isn't that you?

480
00:29:11.720 --> 00:29:14.799
Of all people, Yes, a sail with their captain.

481
00:29:14.839 --> 00:29:18.839
Before I was telling him a hard man, but a

482
00:29:18.880 --> 00:29:24.599
fair man, not this voyage. Something happened when he brought

483
00:29:24.640 --> 00:29:28.640
his wife aboard he's not the same man. I think

484
00:29:28.799 --> 00:29:32.920
that captain means to kill every one as he did

485
00:29:32.960 --> 00:29:38.160
the owner who rogers and ways Hi and even pageant.

486
00:29:37.480 --> 00:29:39.759
And bring and were blown out of the ridget.

487
00:29:40.200 --> 00:29:45.720
Perhaps, Sir, perraps the captain shock him loose by nothing?

488
00:29:46.640 --> 00:29:49.079
Why here, I think you're the one whose brains are scrambled.

489
00:29:49.759 --> 00:29:52.039
A member lost to the ball, and the two passengers

490
00:29:52.079 --> 00:29:53.920
and brings.

491
00:29:53.160 --> 00:29:56.759
Fell over, obviously drunk. A wife took the other two.

492
00:29:57.119 --> 00:30:00.480
The why is in not one mentioned? I shall have

493
00:30:00.839 --> 00:30:04.960
any of them be lost? In the ship's log.

494
00:30:06.400 --> 00:30:09.839
That's keptain the captain's hand, How could you know that

495
00:30:10.240 --> 00:30:10.680
I was.

496
00:30:10.599 --> 00:30:14.680
Writing in it here in this little last night, I

497
00:30:14.799 --> 00:30:18.039
was clearing the table he left to get fresh ink,

498
00:30:18.039 --> 00:30:23.319
and I looked at it. You can read in sixty

499
00:30:23.400 --> 00:30:25.720
years and see a man there's a lot of time

500
00:30:25.839 --> 00:30:29.119
on his hands, the toughness of long ago.

501
00:30:31.000 --> 00:30:36.000
You're sure of what you say on my oath, sir,

502
00:30:37.720 --> 00:30:42.960
And by God, we'd better turn back now, not risk

503
00:30:43.079 --> 00:30:45.160
by neck to hangman's loose by mutiny.

504
00:30:45.599 --> 00:30:50.000
Maybe maybe if you was to speak to that captain's lady,

505
00:30:51.160 --> 00:30:54.200
she's the only one to influence him.

506
00:30:54.400 --> 00:30:58.200
Why damn, you're right buddy Gold off the crew till

507
00:30:58.200 --> 00:30:59.640
I see if the lady you'll come to wire.

508
00:31:00.200 --> 00:31:02.240
Ay aye, mister Peabody.

509
00:31:09.359 --> 00:31:16.039
Mistress Adams, Mistress Adams, which is mister Peabody, first.

510
00:31:15.759 --> 00:31:16.759
Mate under the captain?

511
00:31:17.839 --> 00:31:18.039
Yeah?

512
00:31:19.119 --> 00:31:23.720
Can you hear me, Mistress Adams. I wouldn't disturb you,

513
00:31:24.000 --> 00:31:25.680
but the meta's urgent.

514
00:31:26.160 --> 00:31:32.599
Mister Peabody, may I ask what you are doing.

515
00:31:34.599 --> 00:31:37.759
Captain, and I wanted to talk to your wife.

516
00:31:38.079 --> 00:31:42.119
My wife is indisposed, she's a poor sailor, and these

517
00:31:42.240 --> 00:31:45.839
last days of worn are out. How dare you disturb her?

518
00:31:47.039 --> 00:31:51.839
I felt the metal urgent attend me in the saloon,

519
00:31:51.920 --> 00:31:54.839
mister Peabody, First, let me see to my wife.

520
00:31:55.920 --> 00:31:56.519
Hi.

521
00:32:03.720 --> 00:32:07.839
Fortunately, for my peace of mind and your welfare, you

522
00:32:07.960 --> 00:32:10.079
did not wait, Mistress Adams.

523
00:32:10.720 --> 00:32:12.839
Now why did you wish to see her?

524
00:32:13.640 --> 00:32:13.880
Well, I.

525
00:32:15.480 --> 00:32:17.799
Didn't think you'd be willing to bring the ship about

526
00:32:17.799 --> 00:32:20.440
and that for home. You're quite correct, I would not,

527
00:32:22.480 --> 00:32:26.480
feeling sure of that, I hope to enlist, Mistress Adams aid,

528
00:32:26.559 --> 00:32:28.200
and persuade you to change your mind.

529
00:32:28.759 --> 00:32:32.000
That was the only reason you chose to disobey my

530
00:32:32.240 --> 00:32:37.160
orders that no one no one was to approach my wife.

531
00:32:38.279 --> 00:32:42.680
What other reasons why are there? Indeed, why would you

532
00:32:42.839 --> 00:32:46.640
be so anxious to turn for home, mister Peabody.

533
00:32:47.599 --> 00:32:50.559
Because otherwise your face a mutant it captain's mutiny.

534
00:32:51.160 --> 00:32:53.599
Ha I, damn.

535
00:32:54.279 --> 00:32:57.519
I could ask for nothing better than the cut down

536
00:32:57.759 --> 00:32:58.920
some of the forwards.

537
00:32:59.039 --> 00:32:59.279
Come.

538
00:33:00.000 --> 00:33:03.519
If I didn't wear my pistols at all times, i'd

539
00:33:03.559 --> 00:33:08.960
have a knife between my ribs before this mutiny. Eh.

540
00:33:09.079 --> 00:33:13.240
And if they do, where do you stand, mister meat.

541
00:33:13.880 --> 00:33:18.319
I'm an officer, sir, but at arms. We'll remedy that

542
00:33:19.400 --> 00:33:22.319
catch the second meat while I break out the arms.

543
00:33:22.839 --> 00:33:25.880
Then we'll muster the crew on deck and have this out.

544
00:33:28.599 --> 00:33:33.519
What about the bush the dozen? No, I won't put

545
00:33:33.640 --> 00:33:37.480
firearms in his hands. The three of us can stand

546
00:33:37.519 --> 00:33:47.759
them off. Turn back, turn back of lily lived swine.

547
00:33:48.240 --> 00:33:51.960
I'll see it on the bottom for it now, heart

548
00:33:52.079 --> 00:33:55.319
to what I tell you. This voyage can make us

549
00:33:55.359 --> 00:34:00.720
all rich, no owner split down. The crapts are all hours.

550
00:34:01.119 --> 00:34:04.599
Sail on with me to Africa and we'll all reap

551
00:34:04.759 --> 00:34:07.519
ore my deep sected davy.

552
00:34:07.599 --> 00:34:09.719
Don't just knock off, stay hey.

553
00:34:09.599 --> 00:34:14.400
Yourself, mister Mufson, or oh of a bout the ship

554
00:34:14.480 --> 00:34:15.039
is cursed.

555
00:34:15.360 --> 00:34:18.960
Tom back will make you cor you qu when I order.

556
00:34:18.880 --> 00:34:20.320
I'll say, I hold your orders.

557
00:34:20.639 --> 00:34:21.599
Mister p Moser.

558
00:34:21.920 --> 00:34:23.519
You know what's happening about this ship?

559
00:34:23.679 --> 00:34:25.719
We'll sail under you? Would you so?

560
00:34:25.719 --> 00:34:26.039
Done?

561
00:34:26.079 --> 00:34:26.320
By you?

562
00:34:26.440 --> 00:34:26.599
Sir?

563
00:34:27.119 --> 00:34:32.199
Well, mister Peabody, where do you stand? You say where

564
00:34:32.199 --> 00:34:38.039
my pistol is? Aims Captain me. I suspected something like

565
00:34:38.119 --> 00:34:41.159
this when I found you below at my cabin. What

566
00:34:41.360 --> 00:34:42.519
would you do now?

567
00:34:43.119 --> 00:34:46.599
I'll ask for your pistols, sir. I'm taking over the ship.

568
00:34:47.599 --> 00:34:51.039
I guarantee you safe conduct court and my wife your

569
00:34:51.039 --> 00:34:55.280
wife too. Of course, if I refuse, don't make me

570
00:34:55.400 --> 00:34:56.559
pull this triggers up.

571
00:34:56.719 --> 00:34:59.599
That's just what I intend to do.

572
00:34:59.599 --> 00:35:02.440
Don't come on it cook you woo?

573
00:35:03.360 --> 00:35:06.480
Do you think I'd have handed you a loaded gun.

574
00:35:06.760 --> 00:35:11.079
Knowing what was in your mind?

575
00:35:11.639 --> 00:35:17.960
Punishment from euthanis dead? Where Who's next? Who else? Wanted

576
00:35:18.039 --> 00:35:23.559
to go on? T I thought so? We'll smell in

577
00:35:24.239 --> 00:35:27.679
the hurricanes coming back to the ringing all of you

578
00:35:28.079 --> 00:35:31.239
and read sailor by haven't yourself? Won't?

579
00:35:32.719 --> 00:35:35.559
We're breaking our last water from you, your murdering devil.

580
00:35:36.079 --> 00:35:37.079
Come back to your coming.

581
00:35:37.159 --> 00:35:38.280
I'll tell you how I want you.

582
00:35:38.440 --> 00:35:39.440
Chris Thompson.

583
00:35:40.800 --> 00:35:45.159
Kept your higher Sam you should never have shocked.

584
00:35:45.559 --> 00:35:47.119
Never started it.

585
00:35:47.119 --> 00:35:50.440
It's just what I want. I wanted any red abuse.

586
00:35:50.639 --> 00:35:55.039
Come now I have my chance, ran back to where

587
00:35:55.119 --> 00:35:55.800
I will lose.

588
00:35:56.960 --> 00:36:19.840
Never never had a puffer there, waity, wicked as storm

589
00:36:20.719 --> 00:36:24.880
right here, wallering the doldrums for god knows.

590
00:36:24.639 --> 00:36:28.679
How long it's as well, sir. There's scarcely enough men

591
00:36:28.760 --> 00:36:32.280
left to sail the ship. What there is is dog

592
00:36:32.480 --> 00:36:33.760
tired enough alive.

593
00:36:34.760 --> 00:36:35.960
How many left.

594
00:36:37.280 --> 00:36:42.760
Timmins died this morning, four killed in a mutiny, were

595
00:36:42.760 --> 00:36:47.599
more lost overboard, and Rudge who died in a fall

596
00:36:47.639 --> 00:36:51.159
from the crow's nest at least five.

597
00:36:51.000 --> 00:36:54.519
Sir, Hi, they ain't counting you, waity there counting me

598
00:36:55.960 --> 00:36:57.800
hive of you still between us?

599
00:36:58.480 --> 00:37:03.480
We're woeful shot sir. Yes, I have a mess cooking

600
00:37:03.559 --> 00:37:06.920
for the crew. Can I shut them down the way time?

601
00:37:08.119 --> 00:37:08.400
OI?

602
00:37:08.800 --> 00:37:08.960
Yes?

603
00:37:09.119 --> 00:37:13.960
Yes, of course we must all eat, But first serve

604
00:37:14.079 --> 00:37:18.079
all hands a double ration of grod, including yourself.

605
00:37:18.920 --> 00:37:22.760
I'll put a cask of rum out in the saloon, sir.

606
00:37:23.639 --> 00:37:27.079
Before you serve the crew, though, set the table in

607
00:37:27.159 --> 00:37:34.679
the saloons for six for sex captains, certainly the passengers,

608
00:37:34.960 --> 00:37:40.840
the two mates, myself and my wife. Oh last, my darling,

609
00:37:41.480 --> 00:37:42.920
I can bring you to the.

610
00:37:43.039 --> 00:37:47.880
Table as befits a captain's wife for the roll dead.

611
00:37:48.800 --> 00:37:53.920
We have nothing to fear from them anymore. Only five left,

612
00:37:54.360 --> 00:37:55.840
and they'll be gone soon.

613
00:37:55.920 --> 00:37:57.119
Annabella.

614
00:37:57.800 --> 00:38:00.000
You understand, don't you.

615
00:38:00.920 --> 00:38:05.559
It's all to keep you, to hold them from taking

616
00:38:05.599 --> 00:38:16.159
you from me, beloved, to hold you forever. Josiah, and

617
00:38:16.440 --> 00:38:17.960
what are you doing on deck?

618
00:38:18.840 --> 00:38:19.920
I'm looking for someone.

619
00:38:19.960 --> 00:38:22.920
I want you who, Josiah?

620
00:38:23.039 --> 00:38:29.320
Adam you them here? Animel here told me you were

621
00:38:30.320 --> 00:38:33.679
the Josiah I knew I still am.

622
00:38:34.800 --> 00:38:37.519
With the blood of all those men you killed on

623
00:38:37.599 --> 00:38:38.840
your hands.

624
00:38:38.719 --> 00:38:41.159
Stood between us and the ones that be left.

625
00:38:41.719 --> 00:38:43.679
Who drinks your poisons for.

626
00:38:43.760 --> 00:38:47.239
Are dying now. I had to kill them so we

627
00:38:47.360 --> 00:38:50.239
could be together always.

628
00:38:50.360 --> 00:38:51.239
Don't you see?

629
00:38:51.320 --> 00:38:53.719
That's what's tearing us apart?

630
00:38:53.960 --> 00:38:57.079
What were any of them were to deserve to live?

631
00:38:57.719 --> 00:39:03.519
Blackbirds and thieves, ripped wrap and murderers. They stand between

632
00:39:03.679 --> 00:39:05.000
us no longer.

633
00:39:05.480 --> 00:39:09.840
Only one thing stands between us, Josiah, Why are you

634
00:39:10.079 --> 00:39:13.159
too blind to see? No?

635
00:39:13.440 --> 00:39:18.280
And No? I took you from America with me. We

636
00:39:18.400 --> 00:39:19.920
can be safe on the.

637
00:39:19.840 --> 00:39:24.320
Other side of the world. I can sail the long boat,

638
00:39:25.119 --> 00:39:29.000
just the two of us, across the seas. We can

639
00:39:29.079 --> 00:39:32.880
struggle the ship, and even if she were raised, no

640
00:39:32.920 --> 00:39:36.679
one would know her secrets. I've kept the log as

641
00:39:36.800 --> 00:39:41.440
though the voyage was calm and uneventful. Let them find

642
00:39:41.519 --> 00:39:47.440
the ship. We'll be gone tonight. Last you can dye

643
00:39:47.519 --> 00:39:51.519
at the captain's table, as you always should have, and

644
00:39:51.679 --> 00:39:53.079
then we'll sail away.

645
00:39:54.519 --> 00:39:59.639
No, Josiah, search your heart and you know it can

646
00:39:59.719 --> 00:40:00.199
never be.

647
00:40:01.719 --> 00:40:06.480
It's all the cream, all the green.

648
00:40:07.880 --> 00:40:16.400
Stepping speak to me, to me.

649
00:40:17.400 --> 00:40:25.159
Oh for our captain called Frity. Don't be afraid. I'm

650
00:40:25.239 --> 00:40:31.119
still alive, but not for long thought you were a ghost. No,

651
00:40:32.360 --> 00:40:36.880
only one ghost sailed with the ship. Because you can't

652
00:40:36.920 --> 00:40:38.000
stand me anymore?

653
00:40:38.159 --> 00:40:38.599
Captain?

654
00:40:39.599 --> 00:40:40.360
Who dying?

655
00:40:41.280 --> 00:40:43.079
What's your wife about?

656
00:40:43.159 --> 00:40:43.760
My wife?

657
00:40:44.119 --> 00:40:50.320
She's dead to Captain, she always has been, long before

658
00:40:50.360 --> 00:40:57.559
we ever say yes killed, when the Indians got you

659
00:40:59.159 --> 00:41:01.239
dead for over two years now.

660
00:41:02.000 --> 00:41:03.280
It had to be capable.

661
00:41:03.840 --> 00:41:08.639
It had to be nobody, and your Kevin t me.

662
00:41:09.800 --> 00:41:13.360
Don't you think I didn't know? Didn't I see her

663
00:41:13.519 --> 00:41:18.840
die before my eyes? But I cheated death, and I

664
00:41:18.960 --> 00:41:22.880
cheated him of her. I took her away with me

665
00:41:23.079 --> 00:41:26.559
to this ship. I had to keep her alive.

666
00:41:26.760 --> 00:41:28.840
I had to you know I had to kill all

667
00:41:28.920 --> 00:41:33.239
of us to do it, because all of us alive

668
00:41:34.320 --> 00:41:36.599
were proof that she was.

669
00:41:36.840 --> 00:41:38.119
It had to be.

670
00:41:38.280 --> 00:41:43.440
When you're alone or last, or will be. All of

671
00:41:43.559 --> 00:41:47.800
us are dead save me, and I'm almost.

672
00:41:49.280 --> 00:41:52.239
Will be alone at last, and I can bring it

673
00:41:52.320 --> 00:41:55.239
to my table like the lady she is.

674
00:41:55.559 --> 00:41:57.159
The table is set.

675
00:41:56.960 --> 00:41:59.840
For sex, but there'll be only.

676
00:41:59.679 --> 00:42:01.639
One if you're there, kept.

677
00:42:03.599 --> 00:42:04.920
Two or five.

678
00:42:06.599 --> 00:42:10.719
The dead don't mix with the living. There's only one

679
00:42:10.760 --> 00:42:19.440
way to fund your wife, the game, only one way.

680
00:42:18.119 --> 00:42:26.239
The last of them, Annabella, we're free, Annabella, Where are you?

681
00:42:28.079 --> 00:42:29.599
Hannah? Come to me?

682
00:42:31.000 --> 00:42:35.119
Annabella and Ambella.

683
00:42:36.880 --> 00:42:41.239
I know you died long ago in America, to lived

684
00:42:41.239 --> 00:42:45.719
on in my mind, in my heart, and in my

685
00:42:45.840 --> 00:42:48.920
blood I thought of. I took you with me to

686
00:42:49.000 --> 00:42:51.480
the sea.

687
00:42:50.920 --> 00:42:54.639
Away from the land where I dug your grave. You

688
00:42:54.719 --> 00:42:59.119
could still live and breathe for me alone. There's only

689
00:42:59.280 --> 00:43:03.840
one way to find you. A glass, Oh Annabella, forgive

690
00:43:03.960 --> 00:43:08.519
me love for all that I've done. I'm coming home

691
00:43:08.719 --> 00:43:13.239
to you.

692
00:43:23.159 --> 00:43:28.079
Nineteen men say over the Annabella, and nineteen men went

693
00:43:28.119 --> 00:43:32.079
to the bottom of the sea. The ship weathered all

694
00:43:32.159 --> 00:43:33.440
the storms.

695
00:43:34.000 --> 00:43:37.880
But then a ship is a woman. It only goes

696
00:43:37.920 --> 00:43:40.320
to pool that on land or thieves.

697
00:43:41.239 --> 00:43:44.400
The ladies have the better instinct or survivors.

698
00:43:45.480 --> 00:43:47.000
I'll be back sortless.

699
00:43:48.800 --> 00:44:00.760
And somewhere in the green depths. I wonder if the

700
00:44:00.840 --> 00:44:05.039
captain sits presiding at his table. But if he does,

701
00:44:05.880 --> 00:44:10.599
there's at least one empty seat for mister Annabella died

702
00:44:10.639 --> 00:44:15.920
on Lamb. She'll never come back to the thief for him,

703
00:44:16.239 --> 00:44:20.960
which seems fair enough, wouldn't you thing he didn't exactly

704
00:44:21.000 --> 00:44:27.320
deserve happy ending. Our cast included George Matthews, Brett Morrison,

705
00:44:27.559 --> 00:44:32.760
Marion Felders, Leon Johnny and William Redfield. The entire production

706
00:44:32.960 --> 00:44:34.800
was under the direction of Hymon Brown.

707
00:44:36.880 --> 00:44:41.960
Now a preview of our next tale, Sipling strikes again.

708
00:44:47.840 --> 00:44:52.840
My dear, you seem to be enjoying yourself while at

709
00:44:52.920 --> 00:44:59.159
least in the way that we enjoy the dog. Let

710
00:44:59.199 --> 00:45:05.119
me see about the tea. Who It is a bit hot,

711
00:45:05.199 --> 00:45:09.960
but I think it might be just right for you.

712
00:45:11.440 --> 00:45:11.800
Hmm.

713
00:45:13.159 --> 00:45:17.880
A little time, a little fire, and before you know it,

714
00:45:17.960 --> 00:45:25.800
it's what you desire. Oh now, where is that young man,

715
00:45:26.719 --> 00:45:29.239
the one with the cream tarts?

716
00:45:41.679 --> 00:45:44.320
Started your Christmas shopping at?

717
00:45:44.599 --> 00:45:48.119
Worried about where the money is coming from? I want

718
00:45:48.119 --> 00:45:48.840
to get away from it.

719
00:45:49.880 --> 00:45:50.599
We offer you.

720
00:45:51.360 --> 00:45:52.719
Escape m hm.

721
00:46:02.840 --> 00:46:05.440
He was seated around a green felt table with a

722
00:46:05.480 --> 00:46:08.800
dozen desperate men, waiting for the turn of a card.

723
00:46:09.800 --> 00:46:13.000
If it's the Ace of Spades, you will be next,

724
00:46:13.760 --> 00:46:17.559
and you desperately desire the impossible escape.

725
00:46:20.159 --> 00:46:24.400
Escape produced and directed by William N. Robeson and carefully

726
00:46:24.440 --> 00:46:27.280
plotted to free you from the four walls of today

727
00:46:27.719 --> 00:46:29.960
for a half hour of high adventure.

728
00:46:34.719 --> 00:46:38.400
Tonight we escaped to London of the last century, A

729
00:46:38.480 --> 00:46:41.960
London of gas lights and handsome cabs, A London where

730
00:46:41.960 --> 00:46:45.079
a gentleman still valued his word of honor above his life.

731
00:46:46.000 --> 00:46:49.000
A London of which one terrifying incident is recorded by

732
00:46:49.039 --> 00:46:53.840
Robert Louis Stevenson and his Unforgettable story The young man

733
00:46:53.880 --> 00:47:08.679
with a cream tarts?

734
00:47:00.280 --> 00:47:14.079
Oh Lord, or rather city seems to awful little amusement tonight?

735
00:47:14.840 --> 00:47:17.760
Well, bottom's up, Let's be on our way right O,

736
00:47:18.679 --> 00:47:19.920
Your health and yours?

737
00:47:21.440 --> 00:47:25.039
Please have a cream parliment made?

738
00:47:25.039 --> 00:47:25.760
Will you honow me?

739
00:47:27.199 --> 00:47:27.400
Well?

740
00:47:27.440 --> 00:47:30.239
No, what's this young man with a tray of cream turns?

741
00:47:30.360 --> 00:47:33.039
He's giving them away? Perhaps one of the turns on

742
00:47:33.079 --> 00:47:36.440
the Perhaps shall we go? Yes? Let's I pray you

743
00:47:36.519 --> 00:47:37.440
accept this confection.

744
00:47:37.519 --> 00:47:39.199
For if you do not, I am bound to eat

745
00:47:39.199 --> 00:47:41.480
it myself. You must be crazy. It was never more

746
00:47:41.559 --> 00:47:46.000
seen I do, and there's nothing for it my twenty

747
00:47:46.559 --> 00:47:50.880
seventh part. Since five o'clock. Now there are but two

748
00:47:50.960 --> 00:47:54.400
left you, sir? Will you so far under an entire

749
00:47:54.400 --> 00:47:57.440
stranger truly excellent pastry? I should know I've eaten.

750
00:47:57.199 --> 00:47:58.239
A of them.

751
00:47:58.280 --> 00:48:00.559
It is not the nature of a gift that is important,

752
00:48:00.920 --> 00:48:02.519
but the spirit in which it is offered.

753
00:48:02.679 --> 00:48:07.079
Spirits hair is one of mockery. Mockery and whom do

754
00:48:07.119 --> 00:48:10.000
you mark myself? However, my purpose at the moment is

755
00:48:10.039 --> 00:48:12.719
not confession, but rather distribution of these cream tarts.

756
00:48:12.760 --> 00:48:15.559
Won't you and your friend disposed to the last time hees?

757
00:48:16.239 --> 00:48:17.239
Here's on one condition.

758
00:48:17.880 --> 00:48:19.920
If my friend and I eat your last two cakes,

759
00:48:20.159 --> 00:48:22.039
we shall expect you to join us at supper.

760
00:48:22.119 --> 00:48:22.440
Supper.

761
00:48:22.480 --> 00:48:25.320
It's a horrible thought. I've already eaten two dozen of

762
00:48:25.320 --> 00:48:26.039
these pastries.

763
00:48:26.280 --> 00:48:29.000
Very well, then we shall omit supper and become better

764
00:48:29.000 --> 00:48:30.880
acquainted over a bottle of wine.

765
00:48:30.920 --> 00:48:33.840
I'm uncertain that my repugnance for these two remaining tarts

766
00:48:33.840 --> 00:48:36.679
of the attraction of your invitation compels me, but I.

767
00:48:36.679 --> 00:48:39.599
Accept excellent then let us finish off your pastry and

768
00:48:39.639 --> 00:48:40.760
seek a more quiet place.

769
00:48:40.880 --> 00:48:50.760
How about Michelle's and soho splendid? Shall we go an

770
00:48:50.800 --> 00:48:54.480
excellent restaurant, an excellent wine, and two excellent friends. I

771
00:48:54.559 --> 00:48:55.199
drink to your.

772
00:48:55.079 --> 00:48:59.000
Health and we drink to yours. I'm sure you will

773
00:48:59.079 --> 00:49:03.320
understand my curiyosity, but you are curious naturally. Although I

774
00:49:03.360 --> 00:49:06.000
suspect that your story is probably a silly one, indeed

775
00:49:06.679 --> 00:49:08.840
you may rest assured that we are two of the

776
00:49:08.880 --> 00:49:12.840
silliest men in England. My name is Godall, theophilis Goodall,

777
00:49:12.880 --> 00:49:15.159
and my friend here is Major Alfred Hammersmith.

778
00:49:15.400 --> 00:49:18.119
I like you, mister Godall, and juw Major Hammersmith. Though

779
00:49:18.119 --> 00:49:20.079
I suspect there's not your right name, this is of

780
00:49:20.079 --> 00:49:22.239
no importance exactly, nor is my name, so I will

781
00:49:22.239 --> 00:49:24.599
not divulge it. Although I see no reason why I

782
00:49:24.639 --> 00:49:27.360
should deny you my story. It's brief and foolish.

783
00:49:27.519 --> 00:49:30.320
Pray tell us then, it's an off told tale, a

784
00:49:30.400 --> 00:49:32.880
modest fortune which I squandered in the usual ways at

785
00:49:32.880 --> 00:49:36.119
cards the horse races in Paris. Been two months ago.

786
00:49:36.159 --> 00:49:38.679
I met a young lady exactly suited to my taste

787
00:49:38.719 --> 00:49:41.559
in mind and body, My heart melted. I was in

788
00:49:41.679 --> 00:49:42.440
love too.

789
00:49:42.559 --> 00:49:45.639
Late yesterday my solicitor warned me that I had but

790
00:49:45.679 --> 00:49:48.079
a hundred pounds left in the world. Forty of these

791
00:49:48.119 --> 00:49:51.159
I used last night for a spatial purpose, and I

792
00:49:51.199 --> 00:49:53.920
have agreeably spent the day disposing of the remaining sixty

793
00:49:53.920 --> 00:49:56.000
pounds in as foolish a manner as I could devise.

794
00:49:56.360 --> 00:49:58.840
And the future, the future, has been taken care of

795
00:49:58.880 --> 00:50:00.079
by the forty pounds.

796
00:50:00.280 --> 00:50:03.760
Is it not odd that we three should have met

797
00:50:03.760 --> 00:50:06.800
by the merest accident in so large a wilderness as London,

798
00:50:07.599 --> 00:50:12.639
and be so nearly in the same condition. Yes, Major Hammersmith,

799
00:50:12.679 --> 00:50:15.559
I was thinking the very same thing. What's this? Are

800
00:50:15.559 --> 00:50:18.920
you two also ruined? Is this bottle of excellent wine?

801
00:50:18.960 --> 00:50:22.320
The last falling like my cream parts? Very nearly, sir,

802
00:50:22.960 --> 00:50:25.480
and perhaps a week behind you. I still have a

803
00:50:25.519 --> 00:50:28.599
few banknotes in my wallet. However, here know this bill

804
00:50:28.639 --> 00:50:30.639
will take care of the bottle of wine and the

805
00:50:30.679 --> 00:50:31.960
others I throw into the fire.

806
00:50:32.039 --> 00:50:35.000
Oh no, you shouldn't have burned all of them. You

807
00:50:35.039 --> 00:50:38.880
should have kept forty pounds. Forty pounds, why why not

808
00:50:39.000 --> 00:50:41.880
fifty or seventy? For to my certain knowledge, there were

809
00:50:41.920 --> 00:50:44.000
more than a hundred in his wallet. It's only just

810
00:50:44.119 --> 00:50:47.440
forty pounds he needed. Without them, there is no admission.

811
00:50:47.599 --> 00:50:50.760
The rule is strict. What do you mean I have

812
00:50:50.840 --> 00:50:53.920
not yet completely emptied my pocket book. You are not

813
00:50:54.119 --> 00:50:58.400
fooling me. You are indeed ruined men like me. Oh, indeed,

814
00:50:59.079 --> 00:51:01.079
could you muster eighty pounds between you?

815
00:51:01.199 --> 00:51:05.119
Well, let me look in my wallet. Yes, eighteen, a little.

816
00:51:04.880 --> 00:51:08.360
Over than you are, indeed most fortunate. Forty pounds each

817
00:51:08.440 --> 00:51:11.239
is the initiation fee of the suicide Club.

818
00:51:12.239 --> 00:51:16.199
The suicide Club. What the devil is that? The suicide

819
00:51:16.199 --> 00:51:20.760
Club is death's private door. It's the ultimate convenience in

820
00:51:20.800 --> 00:51:26.320
our modern world. It exists for unfortunates like costs, those

821
00:51:26.320 --> 00:51:29.639
to whom the painful agony of corrosive poison is distasteful,

822
00:51:30.239 --> 00:51:32.679
For those whose courage fails them when the cool muzzle

823
00:51:32.760 --> 00:51:35.719
chills the forehead, for those whose fear of drowning is

824
00:51:35.760 --> 00:51:39.960
greater than their compulsion to die. While these sensitive misfits,

825
00:51:39.960 --> 00:51:44.559
the suicide Club ranges every detail. If you are truly

826
00:51:44.639 --> 00:51:46.400
tired of life, I will introduce you to night, to

827
00:51:46.440 --> 00:51:49.400
a meeting, and I can assure you that within the

828
00:51:49.440 --> 00:51:52.440
week you will be relieved of the burden of living.

829
00:51:53.880 --> 00:51:56.960
What do you say? It's more serious than a cream tart?

830
00:51:57.000 --> 00:52:01.960
And I suspect more palatable, more serious certainly, so I

831
00:52:01.960 --> 00:52:03.840
I wonder if you would give mister Godarl and Knee

832
00:52:04.000 --> 00:52:07.960
five minutes alone to discuss it. Certainly I shall wait out, Sir,

833
00:52:10.880 --> 00:52:13.760
your highness, This adventure must stop here.

834
00:52:13.960 --> 00:52:17.800
Nonsense, Colonel Deryldine, I propose to see this through, see

835
00:52:17.800 --> 00:52:22.039
you through to what death? You forget your obligations, not

836
00:52:22.079 --> 00:52:25.039
only to yourself but to your country. Prince Florizaill of

837
00:52:25.440 --> 00:52:28.239
Bohemia cannot risk to night. I am plain, mister Goddar,

838
00:52:28.880 --> 00:52:32.639
and so I propose to remain. And please remember, Colonel Geraldine,

839
00:52:33.119 --> 00:52:36.079
under those circumstances are you to betray my incognito? What

840
00:52:36.280 --> 00:52:39.320
your high We have survived graver adventures than this one

841
00:52:39.360 --> 00:52:43.519
promises to be. And now, Colonel Geraldine, let us pay

842
00:52:43.519 --> 00:52:47.599
our bill and accompany our young wastrel two Death's private door.

843
00:52:48.159 --> 00:53:08.960
Well here you aren't box court, gentlemen, we have a ride.

844
00:53:10.320 --> 00:53:15.679
Here you are cabby. Keep the change, well, mister Godar,

845
00:53:16.039 --> 00:53:19.719
Major hammer Smith, there is still time to change your minds.

846
00:53:19.880 --> 00:53:23.000
Lead on, sir, my mind's made up, and mine follow

847
00:53:23.039 --> 00:53:30.079
me then, as dark as a tomb.

848
00:53:30.239 --> 00:53:39.480
An aptain concise simply, here we are gentlemen, have death's

849
00:53:39.599 --> 00:53:52.719
private door. So we want to pray. Let's I may

850
00:53:52.840 --> 00:53:55.599
hang your things in here, shall be good enough to wait.

851
00:53:55.639 --> 00:54:00.519
I shall call the President, have all our bodies. This

852
00:54:00.679 --> 00:54:03.440
is the wildest and most dangerous. I'm beginning to believe

853
00:54:03.480 --> 00:54:06.000
you're right. Let me beseech your Highness not forget you

854
00:54:06.039 --> 00:54:09.360
are my aide decon, not your father. Yet I am

855
00:54:09.400 --> 00:54:12.880
responsible to the King for your will. Girld Geraldine, you're

856
00:54:12.920 --> 00:54:17.719
not afraid, certainly, not for myself, but for your Highness.

857
00:54:18.320 --> 00:54:21.239
President will see you in his office. I have vouched

858
00:54:21.239 --> 00:54:23.920
for you, but you must give him honest answers. The

859
00:54:23.960 --> 00:54:26.840
indiscretion of a single member might lead to the dispersion

860
00:54:26.880 --> 00:54:30.639
of the society forever. You can't afford to take that risk.

861
00:54:31.960 --> 00:54:37.360
Follow me, I'm here. He's waiting for you.

862
00:54:41.199 --> 00:54:41.840
Good evening.

863
00:54:43.880 --> 00:54:45.840
I am told that you wish to speak to me.

864
00:54:46.960 --> 00:54:50.800
We have a desire, sir, to join the suicide Club.

865
00:54:51.719 --> 00:54:54.320
Sir, you've made a mistake. This is a private house.

866
00:54:54.559 --> 00:54:56.719
You must leave it instantly. We have come here upon

867
00:54:56.719 --> 00:54:59.800
the invitation of a friend of yours. He's already told

868
00:54:59.800 --> 00:55:03.280
you our desires. Believe me, sir, When one has come

869
00:55:03.360 --> 00:55:05.320
this far along the path, one is not likely to

870
00:55:05.320 --> 00:55:10.079
be turned away, and certainly will tolerate little rudeness. Permit

871
00:55:10.159 --> 00:55:12.840
me to assure you either you will oblige us in

872
00:55:12.880 --> 00:55:15.639
the matter, or you'll regret ever having admitted us to

873
00:55:15.679 --> 00:55:20.440
the premises. Well, now that's more like it. This is

874
00:55:20.480 --> 00:55:24.119
no place for men not yet desperate. I believe you, sir,

875
00:55:25.159 --> 00:55:26.079
But what of your friend?

876
00:55:26.360 --> 00:55:29.480
My reasons are even more cogent than mister Goodall's. I er,

877
00:55:30.360 --> 00:55:32.880
I was cashiered out of my regiment last week. Why

878
00:55:33.880 --> 00:55:35.880
cheating at cards? I see?

879
00:55:36.880 --> 00:55:40.400
And you, sir, what is your reason for being tired

880
00:55:40.440 --> 00:55:42.840
of life unadulterated laziness?

881
00:55:42.880 --> 00:55:45.599
Don't trifle with me, sir. You must have a better.

882
00:55:45.400 --> 00:55:48.119
Reason than that I have no more money and I'm

883
00:55:48.159 --> 00:55:53.119
much too lazy to come by any hm. If I

884
00:55:53.159 --> 00:55:55.320
did not have a great deal of experience in these matters,

885
00:55:55.320 --> 00:55:58.199
I would turn you down. But I have learned that

886
00:55:58.239 --> 00:56:01.679
the most frivolous excuses for us, as i'd often cover

887
00:56:01.800 --> 00:56:04.880
a deep and lifelong desire for self destruction. Thank you

888
00:56:04.920 --> 00:56:09.159
for your understanding, sir, Very well to business. I shall

889
00:56:09.159 --> 00:56:11.119
read you the oath of membership, to which you will

890
00:56:11.159 --> 00:56:15.559
each subscribe. I swear to obey without question the instructions

891
00:56:15.599 --> 00:56:18.320
of the President of this association or any of his

892
00:56:18.360 --> 00:56:23.239
appointed deputies. Realizing that desirable death could scarcely be a

893
00:56:23.280 --> 00:56:26.639
penalty for violating this oath, I am aware that any

894
00:56:26.719 --> 00:56:29.079
violation will be met at the discretion of the President

895
00:56:29.119 --> 00:56:34.280
by those means deemed suitable by him, namely excommunication from

896
00:56:34.320 --> 00:56:38.079
the church, loss of whatever honor still attaches to my name,

897
00:56:39.039 --> 00:56:42.840
and or, when necessary, violent reprisals against my bereaved family.

898
00:56:44.360 --> 00:56:46.719
In full knowledge of the sacredness of this oath, I

899
00:56:46.760 --> 00:56:52.039
subscribe my name. Well, gentlemen, you are in a position

900
00:56:52.079 --> 00:56:53.400
to enforce those penalties.

901
00:56:54.400 --> 00:56:55.119
I am.

902
00:56:56.599 --> 00:57:03.239
Hand me the pen, my friend, the pen please, Major Hammersmith,

903
00:57:04.159 --> 00:57:09.960
thank you. That will be forty palms of peace. Please

904
00:57:10.440 --> 00:57:13.840
here you are, thank you. Now, would you like to

905
00:57:13.880 --> 00:57:16.039
join the members in the smoking room? Indeed we would

906
00:57:16.440 --> 00:57:22.000
this way. Please just make yourself at home. Everyone's quite

907
00:57:22.000 --> 00:57:24.679
informal here, if your pardon me, I have some other

908
00:57:24.719 --> 00:57:25.440
matters to attend.

909
00:57:25.599 --> 00:57:28.840
Come along, Major, let's mingle with the company. Your high quiet.

910
00:57:28.920 --> 00:57:30.960
Oh there you are, got in all right, I see

911
00:57:31.119 --> 00:57:32.840
naturally you'll never regret it.

912
00:57:32.960 --> 00:57:34.639
I'm sure we Shan't you care.

913
00:57:34.519 --> 00:57:36.480
For a game of bellods and praps some whists?

914
00:57:36.559 --> 00:57:39.239
No, not immediately, thank you. I'd like just to wander

915
00:57:39.280 --> 00:57:40.559
around and listen to the conversation.

916
00:57:40.679 --> 00:57:43.960
You'll find it most revealing. She had always stood in

917
00:57:43.960 --> 00:57:46.079
the way of anything I wanted to do, and I

918
00:57:46.079 --> 00:57:48.320
don't care if she was my mother. She crossed me

919
00:57:48.400 --> 00:57:49.000
one time to.

920
00:57:49.000 --> 00:57:52.440
Offer I have joined this wretched club. If I had

921
00:57:52.480 --> 00:57:55.320
not read the Origin of the Species by Darwin, I

922
00:57:55.320 --> 00:57:57.280
could not bear to be descended from an ape.

923
00:57:57.360 --> 00:58:02.280
Certainly some men who cannot abide the restrictions of the monastery.

924
00:58:02.719 --> 00:58:05.559
And after the abbot discovered me, there was nothing I

925
00:58:05.599 --> 00:58:05.920
could do.

926
00:58:06.079 --> 00:58:09.440
It's incomprehensible to me. What is by this talk, this

927
00:58:09.639 --> 00:58:12.960
boasting the self justification. If the man has made up

928
00:58:12.960 --> 00:58:14.599
his mind to kill himself, let him do it like

929
00:58:14.599 --> 00:58:15.119
a gentleman.

930
00:58:15.400 --> 00:58:16.280
Be done with the matter.

931
00:58:16.920 --> 00:58:18.719
As I told you, there are some of us more

932
00:58:18.800 --> 00:58:20.480
frightened of the act than.

933
00:58:20.400 --> 00:58:21.039
Of the result.

934
00:58:21.480 --> 00:58:23.199
There's only one man in this room who does not

935
00:58:23.280 --> 00:58:24.679
seem to be in a state of hystery.

936
00:58:24.960 --> 00:58:25.320
Who is that?

937
00:58:25.440 --> 00:58:28.880
Mister Godon? By the gentleman sitting under the van. Oh, yes, yes,

938
00:58:28.920 --> 00:58:31.280
mister Marcus, would you like to meet him?

939
00:58:31.440 --> 00:58:34.480
Yes? Please? These others are too obvious. There's nothing very

940
00:58:34.559 --> 00:58:37.880
subtle about mister Malts. He looks like death himself, wearing

941
00:58:37.920 --> 00:58:40.599
thick eye glasses. Let us discover for ourselves the reason

942
00:58:40.679 --> 00:58:42.199
for his relaxation.

943
00:58:41.760 --> 00:58:45.239
Mister Marcus, Eh, I should like to present two new members,

944
00:58:45.239 --> 00:58:47.639
mister Goodall and Major Hammersmith.

945
00:58:47.960 --> 00:58:50.519
Are you do, gentlemen? How do you do? Mister pleasure?

946
00:58:50.519 --> 00:58:50.599
Sir?

947
00:58:51.159 --> 00:58:53.639
Won't you sit down when you come?

948
00:58:53.719 --> 00:58:54.719
As you come?

949
00:58:54.800 --> 00:58:57.960
As I envy you the novelty of your first visit.

950
00:58:59.360 --> 00:59:02.800
You will learn relish it if you're spared. Why, my

951
00:59:02.960 --> 00:59:07.320
dear sir, this club, gentlemen, is the temple of intoxication.

952
00:59:07.559 --> 00:59:09.760
If my health would permit it, you may be sure

953
00:59:10.199 --> 00:59:13.639
I would be here more often, for this is my

954
00:59:13.880 --> 00:59:19.119
last dissivation. Believe me, sir, I've tried them. Are all

955
00:59:19.239 --> 00:59:24.360
the vicests? Yes, people trifle with love and ignorantly call

956
00:59:24.400 --> 00:59:28.039
it man's most powerful passion, nonsense or nonsense.

957
00:59:28.159 --> 00:59:28.440
Fear.

958
00:59:28.719 --> 00:59:31.840
Fear is the strongest passion. It is fair that you

959
00:59:31.920 --> 00:59:34.840
must trifle with if you wish to taste the intense

960
00:59:35.039 --> 00:59:39.800
joys of living. Envy me, sir, envy me, I am.

961
00:59:39.719 --> 00:59:44.400
A powered How, sir, is the excitement so artfully prolonged?

962
00:59:44.440 --> 00:59:44.960
Oh?

963
00:59:45.000 --> 00:59:47.639
Of course, of course, I must tell you how the

964
00:59:47.719 --> 00:59:51.239
victim for every evening is selected, as well as the

965
00:59:51.360 --> 00:59:54.079
member who is to be death, Sir High Priest.

966
00:59:53.880 --> 00:59:57.159
For the occasion, Great heavens, you mean they kill each other.

967
00:59:57.440 --> 01:00:00.840
The guilt of suicide is removed in that way, then I,

968
01:00:01.320 --> 01:00:04.039
or my friend or you, any of us might be

969
01:00:04.079 --> 01:00:08.000
selected this evening to murder another man exactly. But have

970
01:00:08.119 --> 01:00:09.639
they escaped the attentions of the law.

971
01:00:09.800 --> 01:00:14.480
Ah, The ingenuity of our president knows no limits. The

972
01:00:14.960 --> 01:00:17.840
debach has always appear to be accidental.

973
01:00:17.840 --> 01:00:21.519
Why it's monstrous. On the contrary, my dear mate, it

974
01:00:21.639 --> 01:00:24.400
is godlike? Oh yes, yes, of course.

975
01:00:25.159 --> 01:00:27.719
But mister Malthus, I am still in the darkest of

976
01:00:27.760 --> 01:00:30.079
how the members are selected for the evening's work.

977
01:00:30.239 --> 01:00:33.599
Oh of course I forgot to explain. But I see

978
01:00:33.599 --> 01:00:35.960
that the others are filing into the card room now

979
01:00:36.000 --> 01:00:38.480
and the play is about to begin. You shall see

980
01:00:38.519 --> 01:00:39.119
for yourself.

981
01:00:40.000 --> 01:00:42.039
Will you lend me the help of your arm.

982
01:00:42.159 --> 01:00:48.559
I'm quite paralyzed, you know, Oh of course, eh, thank you, Ah,

983
01:00:48.840 --> 01:00:54.119
this is the moment which I live, the quescence of poignancy,

984
01:00:54.360 --> 01:00:59.000
the alchimate of passion, coming here as infrequently as I do.

985
01:00:59.199 --> 01:01:02.320
I've say, with this bitter taste, to fear longer than

986
01:01:02.360 --> 01:01:02.920
the others.

987
01:01:03.400 --> 01:01:07.719
But my turn will come. Who knows, perhaps night? But

988
01:01:08.280 --> 01:01:10.880
how is it done? Tell us what to expect? Oh,

989
01:01:10.960 --> 01:01:11.920
it's so simple.

990
01:01:12.320 --> 01:01:15.559
The president deals from an ordinary deck playing cards, and

991
01:01:15.719 --> 01:01:18.159
each man turns up his guard as he receives it.

992
01:01:18.519 --> 01:01:22.079
The Ace of spades, the card of death, Ace of

993
01:01:22.119 --> 01:01:27.280
clubs designates the official woman, knight, the murderer. If you like, ahh,

994
01:01:27.760 --> 01:01:32.719
get three chairs together. Happy, happy, young men. You have

995
01:01:32.800 --> 01:01:36.400
good eyes and you can follow the cards. I only

996
01:01:36.440 --> 01:01:37.760
make out the faces.

997
01:01:37.920 --> 01:01:40.039
It's everyone here, my friend.

998
01:01:40.679 --> 01:01:42.760
We still have a fighting chance to escape the quiet.

999
01:01:43.000 --> 01:01:43.840
Let us play the game.

1000
01:01:44.960 --> 01:01:45.519
Gentlemen.

1001
01:01:48.239 --> 01:01:49.920
Three of clubs, so.

1002
01:01:52.599 --> 01:01:53.960
Jack of hearts.

1003
01:01:56.000 --> 01:02:07.039
And of diamonds, King of clubs, Queen of hearts, three

1004
01:02:07.039 --> 01:02:11.559
of spades, nine of clubs.

1005
01:02:12.360 --> 01:02:13.360
Six of spades.

1006
01:02:16.599 --> 01:02:19.719
The host that are young men of the cream tis

1007
01:02:19.760 --> 01:02:20.960
from the Ace of clubs.

1008
01:02:21.159 --> 01:02:24.519
I came here to be killed, not to kill a gentleman.

1009
01:02:25.679 --> 01:02:28.840
I must have harshened the members against such unsavely odd bursts.

1010
01:02:30.280 --> 01:02:32.760
Since the Ace of Spades has not yet turned up.

1011
01:02:32.800 --> 01:02:34.079
I will continue the deal.

1012
01:02:37.559 --> 01:02:41.039
Of has seven of.

1013
01:02:41.079 --> 01:02:48.800
Clubs, King of diamonds.

1014
01:02:46.280 --> 01:02:58.840
Jack of spade, ace, Oh eight, mister math That concludes

1015
01:02:58.880 --> 01:03:01.519
the play for the night. Gentle and well, the member

1016
01:03:01.519 --> 01:03:03.639
who drew the Ace of Clubs come to my office

1017
01:03:03.679 --> 01:03:04.719
for his instructions.

1018
01:03:22.760 --> 01:03:28.199
Did your highness dream? Yes? Good morning, Roderick. I shall

1019
01:03:28.199 --> 01:03:29.639
have my breakfast in bed this morning.

1020
01:03:30.960 --> 01:03:34.079
And Colonel Geraldine has been waiting for you to awake him.

1021
01:03:34.280 --> 01:03:39.639
Oh, very well, show him? Can it affer to you now?

1022
01:03:44.000 --> 01:03:48.599
Good morning Geraldine? Sleep well, not too well? Did I

1023
01:03:48.719 --> 01:03:51.719
dream it? Or were we initiated into the suicide club

1024
01:03:51.800 --> 01:03:55.800
last night? Seems like a nightmare. It was a nightmare,

1025
01:03:56.480 --> 01:04:01.039
but you didn't dream it. Here look at this morning paper.

1026
01:04:00.920 --> 01:04:01.320
Well.

1027
01:04:03.559 --> 01:04:10.719
Melancholy accident this morning, about two o'clock, mister Bartholomew Mauthus,

1028
01:04:10.880 --> 01:04:15.480
of sixteen Chepstow Place, Westboin Grove, on his way home

1029
01:04:15.480 --> 01:04:19.360
from a party at a friend's house, fell off the

1030
01:04:19.599 --> 01:04:28.159
upper parapet in Trafalgar Square, fracturing his skull. Death was instantaneous.

1031
01:04:28.639 --> 01:04:32.360
Mister Malthus, accompanied by a friend, was engaged in looking

1032
01:04:32.400 --> 01:04:35.000
for a cab at the time. If Heather a soul

1033
01:04:35.079 --> 01:04:39.239
went straight to Helen. Was that poor paralytic? Yes, at

1034
01:04:39.320 --> 01:04:41.519
least he is dead and out of it. But think

1035
01:04:41.519 --> 01:04:44.400
of our young man of the cream tarts last night.

1036
01:04:44.440 --> 01:04:47.840
That lad was as innocent as you and I. This

1037
01:04:47.960 --> 01:04:48.599
morning he is a.

1038
01:04:48.639 --> 01:04:54.079
Murderer, and thank Heaven's we're safely out of it, are we. No,

1039
01:04:55.280 --> 01:04:59.199
you're not going to return. I must. You are infected

1040
01:04:59.199 --> 01:05:01.320
with a passion of fear, just as poor Malthus was.

1041
01:05:01.639 --> 01:05:06.760
Perhaps, but ever it is tonight once more we take

1042
01:05:06.760 --> 01:05:19.599
our places at the table of the suicide Club. Good evening,

1043
01:05:20.079 --> 01:05:23.960
Good evening, mister goodall back again to try your luck. Yes, indeed,

1044
01:05:24.320 --> 01:05:28.960
and Major Hammersmith, good evening you. You are to be congratulated,

1045
01:05:29.039 --> 01:05:33.159
sir on the matter of mister Malthus, very neatly handled.

1046
01:05:33.960 --> 01:05:37.639
I go, but I shall miss poor Marthe he was

1047
01:05:37.679 --> 01:05:39.679
a man. I could talk to him. Yes, your bereavement

1048
01:05:39.719 --> 01:05:43.199
must weigh heavily upon you, indeed it does so. But

1049
01:05:43.280 --> 01:05:46.239
then it's all in the game. And now you will

1050
01:05:46.280 --> 01:05:48.360
pardon me, we will sit down the play directly.

1051
01:05:48.440 --> 01:05:52.400
A fiend, the poul fiend of hestay, my friend. Once more,

1052
01:05:52.480 --> 01:05:55.000
let me plead with you, leave this evil house before

1053
01:05:55.039 --> 01:05:56.800
it's too late. You're very tiresome tonight.

1054
01:05:57.119 --> 01:06:01.320
Oh oh, here's a young friend of the cream tarking

1055
01:06:01.360 --> 01:06:02.079
old chap.

1056
01:06:02.840 --> 01:06:06.519
Mister good manja hammer Smith. Oh, I wish I'd never

1057
01:06:06.559 --> 01:06:08.679
brought you to this in from his place, or leave,

1058
01:06:09.400 --> 01:06:10.840
leave while your hands are still clean.

1059
01:06:10.920 --> 01:06:13.599
But our oath, we could not go back upon, our oath,

1060
01:06:13.760 --> 01:06:14.679
would renounce it.

1061
01:06:14.800 --> 01:06:19.599
Forget everything, Let them do their worst, but leave, leave

1062
01:06:19.639 --> 01:06:20.559
before it's too late.

1063
01:06:22.159 --> 01:06:25.679
If if you could have heard the old man scream

1064
01:06:25.719 --> 01:06:29.280
as I pushed him from the parapet, the crunch of

1065
01:06:29.440 --> 01:06:32.079
his little bones as he fired to the.

1066
01:06:32.039 --> 01:06:35.239
Pas, I perceive the dealing is about to begin. Shall

1067
01:06:35.280 --> 01:06:36.519
we go in?

1068
01:06:37.159 --> 01:06:42.639
Mister mister good if you have any kindness in your soul,

1069
01:06:43.920 --> 01:06:46.480
wish the Ace of Spades for me tonight.

1070
01:06:48.000 --> 01:06:51.519
There's nothing left for me but to die.

1071
01:06:51.840 --> 01:07:00.920
Attention, gentlemen, Three of hearts.

1072
01:07:00.280 --> 01:07:27.880
Queen of Spades, Ace of diamonds.

1073
01:07:16.440 --> 01:07:20.159
Three times around, and mither black aces come up.

1074
01:07:20.880 --> 01:07:25.719
We are just thirteen. They set the table. This fourth round,

1075
01:07:26.840 --> 01:07:29.920
This will, this will tell the tale. And I am

1076
01:07:29.960 --> 01:07:30.960
next to last.

1077
01:07:40.519 --> 01:07:40.920
As.

1078
01:07:42.440 --> 01:07:55.119
Of course, only four more gods.

1079
01:07:57.320 --> 01:07:58.239
King of Spades.

1080
01:08:00.079 --> 01:08:04.880
Oh, pray for me, mister godal pray for me. I

1081
01:08:04.920 --> 01:08:08.079
have one chance in free pray that I get the

1082
01:08:08.159 --> 01:08:11.000
ash sick so.

1083
01:08:11.320 --> 01:08:17.359
Dim, and now I have one chance in two my

1084
01:08:17.560 --> 01:08:19.159
friend don silence.

1085
01:08:22.640 --> 01:08:23.399
Piece of spade.

1086
01:08:24.359 --> 01:08:24.760
Very well.

1087
01:08:25.279 --> 01:08:26.720
That concludes the night's play.

1088
01:08:26.760 --> 01:08:33.359
Gentlemen, Oh, mister Gooddal, I'd give a million if I had.

1089
01:08:33.199 --> 01:08:36.960
It for your luck. I would sell you this card

1090
01:08:37.359 --> 01:08:38.319
much less if I could.

1091
01:08:38.439 --> 01:08:42.079
Well, Well, mister, my congratulations. I am pleased to have

1092
01:08:42.079 --> 01:08:44.159
met yourself and to have been in the position to

1093
01:08:44.159 --> 01:08:47.439
do you. That's trifling service. At least you can't complain

1094
01:08:47.479 --> 01:08:47.920
of delay.

1095
01:08:48.039 --> 01:08:50.079
Yes, yes, And now.

1096
01:08:49.960 --> 01:08:53.000
Before I leave forever, I should like to ask a question,

1097
01:08:53.760 --> 01:08:57.199
a purely hypothetical question, of course, since I am not

1098
01:08:57.239 --> 01:08:59.079
a man to go back upon my word, But you

1099
01:08:59.159 --> 01:09:01.720
wonder what would happen and if you did, if upon

1100
01:09:01.920 --> 01:09:04.079
the turning of the cart you had changed your mind

1101
01:09:04.520 --> 01:09:09.479
and now wish to live precisely, Suppose, my friend Major

1102
01:09:09.479 --> 01:09:13.479
Hammersmith and I elected to ignore our oath. Suppose we

1103
01:09:13.600 --> 01:09:23.079
began by tearing this place apart. You wouldn't even get started.

1104
01:09:23.760 --> 01:09:26.159
The guests themselves are desperate men. But if they did

1105
01:09:26.199 --> 01:09:28.479
not stop you, the servants, who were even more desperate,

1106
01:09:28.520 --> 01:09:33.039
would you would never leave this house alive. I see,

1107
01:09:34.720 --> 01:09:39.479
well it was purely an academic question. Naturally, very well, then,

1108
01:09:40.239 --> 01:09:43.119
quite of my instructions. You will proceed along the strand

1109
01:09:43.119 --> 01:09:45.279
in the direction of the city and the left hand

1110
01:09:45.279 --> 01:09:49.159
pavement until you come upon a black carriage with drawn curtains.

1111
01:09:50.039 --> 01:09:52.039
In this carriage will be the member who has tonight

1112
01:09:52.119 --> 01:09:55.199
drawn the ace of clubs. My executioner, you are collaborator

1113
01:09:55.199 --> 01:09:59.439
on suicide. You will enter the carriage and he will

1114
01:09:59.439 --> 01:10:02.680
continue your instructions. Please have the kindness to obey him

1115
01:10:02.680 --> 01:10:06.199
in every detail. The authority of the club is vested

1116
01:10:06.199 --> 01:10:09.880
in his person for the night. I wish you a

1117
01:10:09.920 --> 01:10:13.399
pleasant walk, Thank you, But first I must say farewell

1118
01:10:13.479 --> 01:10:15.800
to my friend Major Hammersmith. I regret that is strictly

1119
01:10:15.840 --> 01:10:20.640
against the rules. No farewells too disturbing for the still

1120
01:10:20.680 --> 01:10:24.640
living members. You will leave through this side door to

1121
01:10:24.680 --> 01:10:26.920
the workroom, but I must have we won't have any

1122
01:10:26.960 --> 01:10:28.159
trouble now we must have.

1123
01:10:28.159 --> 01:10:34.159
Clone No, no, of course not. You're court and that

1124
01:10:36.119 --> 01:10:43.840
you'll stick. Thank you again. Must have got all. I

1125
01:10:44.000 --> 01:10:54.479
must pleasant walk. It's private door. Why didn't I listen

1126
01:10:54.520 --> 01:10:57.560
to Geraldine before it was too late?

1127
01:11:04.560 --> 01:11:06.159
I heard this.

1128
01:11:08.439 --> 01:11:11.520
My instructions under meet the coach in the strand right now,

1129
01:11:13.079 --> 01:11:20.600
all right, your Highness will pardon the violation of his.

1130
01:11:20.600 --> 01:11:25.760
Person, Geraldine, Oh, my friend, it was quite necessary under

1131
01:11:25.760 --> 01:11:26.680
the circumstances.

1132
01:11:27.279 --> 01:11:29.119
As soon as you turned up the Ace of Spades,

1133
01:11:29.159 --> 01:11:31.399
I slipped out of the house to prepare for your escape.

1134
01:11:31.520 --> 01:11:33.840
But how did you manage it? When I realized I

1135
01:11:33.880 --> 01:11:36.600
could not dissuade you from attending the club? Tonight I

1136
01:11:36.640 --> 01:11:40.800
retained the services of a certain capable and reliable private detective,

1137
01:11:41.039 --> 01:11:44.560
but his secrecy has been bought and paid for. His

1138
01:11:44.720 --> 01:11:47.560
men are now raiding the Suicide Club. The members will

1139
01:11:47.600 --> 01:11:50.439
be removed to your townhouse, where it remains for you

1140
01:11:50.520 --> 01:11:53.239
to pass judgment upon them. That I will gladly do

1141
01:11:53.920 --> 01:11:55.279
and with the utmost dispatch.

1142
01:12:03.760 --> 01:12:06.199
What if they brought us here, for they didn't look

1143
01:12:06.239 --> 01:12:07.439
like Scotland yard meant to me?

1144
01:12:07.720 --> 01:12:09.800
What difference does it make? Perhaps this will be a

1145
01:12:09.880 --> 01:12:10.479
quicker way.

1146
01:12:10.359 --> 01:12:12.000
Out, gentlemen.

1147
01:12:12.600 --> 01:12:15.439
Why that's my friend, Major Smith.

1148
01:12:15.479 --> 01:12:21.920
Is Royal Highness Prince Florizel of Bohemia.

1149
01:12:22.880 --> 01:12:27.279
Don always thought there was something odd about this too.

1150
01:12:28.119 --> 01:12:32.840
Gentlemen, Tonight we have removed you from a house of

1151
01:12:32.920 --> 01:12:37.479
death through a house of life and hope. Those of

1152
01:12:37.520 --> 01:12:40.840
you who have come to your present condition through lack

1153
01:12:40.880 --> 01:12:45.800
of fortune will receive employment and remuneration from my treasury.

1154
01:12:47.479 --> 01:12:50.439
Those who have been driven to this unnatural solution of

1155
01:12:50.479 --> 01:12:55.079
their problems by the agonies of guilt must find amnesty

1156
01:12:55.079 --> 01:12:59.920
from a power greater than mine, power that eternally promises

1157
01:13:00.039 --> 01:13:05.520
the forgiveness of sins, no matter how grievous. Only one

1158
01:13:05.560 --> 01:13:09.479
of you is truly evil, and him I shall deal

1159
01:13:09.520 --> 01:13:10.199
with myself.

1160
01:13:12.520 --> 01:13:16.239
Where is he? Where is the president of the club,

1161
01:13:17.680 --> 01:13:21.119
Colonel Jolda? Quiet? He should be here, your highness begging

1162
01:13:22.880 --> 01:13:23.479
who's this man?

1163
01:13:23.520 --> 01:13:23.880
Jolda?

1164
01:13:24.000 --> 01:13:25.680
The chief of the detectives.

1165
01:13:26.039 --> 01:13:29.520
Yes, but it was you referring to the sallow chap

1166
01:13:29.560 --> 01:13:31.479
with the sawed whiskers and a black suit.

1167
01:13:31.600 --> 01:13:34.479
Yes, that's the one, the president of the suicide Club.

1168
01:13:34.479 --> 01:13:35.720
Where is he the idea?

1169
01:13:36.680 --> 01:13:37.039
Why not?

1170
01:13:37.399 --> 01:13:40.199
Well, when we broke into the little office down there

1171
01:13:40.199 --> 01:13:42.920
at that club, we found him sprawled over the desk

1172
01:13:42.960 --> 01:14:01.560
with a little empty bottle in his hand. He committed suicide.

1173
01:14:03.039 --> 01:14:06.600
Escape is produced and directed by William N. Robson and

1174
01:14:06.680 --> 01:14:09.920
Tonight brought You The young Man with the Cream Tarts

1175
01:14:10.159 --> 01:14:13.760
by Robert Louis Stevenson, adapted for radio by mister Robson,

1176
01:14:14.119 --> 01:14:18.359
with Paul Freeze as Prince Florizelle, Bill Johnstone as Colonel Geraldine,

1177
01:14:18.680 --> 01:14:22.079
and Martin Yarborough as the young Man. The special musical

1178
01:14:22.079 --> 01:14:24.800
score was conceived and conducted by Sifuer.

1179
01:14:27.359 --> 01:14:31.960
Next week, after you've put in a tough day at

1180
01:14:32.000 --> 01:14:35.680
the office, leaning over a hot stove when you are four,

1181
01:14:35.720 --> 01:14:38.439
war seem to be closing in on you. Next week,

1182
01:14:38.479 --> 01:14:40.880
when you want to get away from it all way,

1183
01:14:40.920 --> 01:14:42.600
offer you escape.

1184
01:14:43.119 --> 01:15:03.319
This is CBS, They Columbia Broadcasting System.

1185
01:15:04.680 --> 01:15:09.560
Do you ever wonder, my dear, if you're having a

1186
01:15:09.720 --> 01:15:15.439
memory or a premonition? It can be very hard to

1187
01:15:15.479 --> 01:15:22.640
tell the two apart in my experience. Well, I suppose

1188
01:15:22.680 --> 01:15:27.359
it's no matter. I shouldn't be worrying about the things

1189
01:15:27.479 --> 01:15:36.239
I'm seeing in my mind's eye or what's that? Hm? Well,

1190
01:15:36.279 --> 01:15:40.560
that's an interesting point. I hope, I hope not. But

1191
01:15:41.479 --> 01:15:48.640
perhaps you're right. Perhaps I should try my best to

1192
01:15:48.680 --> 01:16:04.920
move away to forget last night.

1193
01:16:16.359 --> 01:16:27.479
Suspense. This is the Man in Black.

1194

01:17:37.880 --> 01:17:39.399
the last possible moment.

1212
01:17:40.039 --> 01:17:41.920
And so it is with the Last Night.

1215
01:17:58.600 --> 01:18:02.199
Lay, Miss Laine. It's late, ain't you bringing on giving

1216
01:18:02.239 --> 01:18:02.680
up at all?

1217
01:18:02.840 --> 01:18:09.159
Huh oh oh, yes, I'll be down in a minutely.

1218
01:18:09.279 --> 01:18:13.880
Owner, go away now.

1219
01:18:16.119 --> 01:18:20.520
I lay there, looking up at the ceiling strange. I

1220
01:18:20.520 --> 01:18:23.920
I hadn't slept well last night. All night I had

1221
01:18:23.960 --> 01:18:30.279
tossed and turned. Worry, That's what it was. Worry. The

1222
01:18:30.319 --> 01:18:33.640
weekend was over and Gil and I hadn't raised the

1223
01:18:33.760 --> 01:18:35.159
twenty five hundred dollars.

1224
01:18:35.720 --> 01:18:38.920
We were right back where we started from, stuck.

1225
01:18:38.600 --> 01:18:40.920
Here in the Hudson Valley, with our dude ranch that

1226
01:18:41.039 --> 01:18:45.159
wasn't paying expenses and the debts piling up like new snow.

1227
01:18:47.279 --> 01:18:50.600
That was Gil in the shower. I lay still and

1228
01:18:50.720 --> 01:18:54.640
listened to the hiss of the water. Poor Gil. It

1229
01:18:54.720 --> 01:18:57.439
had been a tough weekend for him, trying to be

1230
01:18:57.560 --> 01:19:00.319
nice to mister Burrows, neglecting the other guests to play

1231
01:19:00.399 --> 01:19:03.359
up to him, flattering him, agreeing with everything he said.

1232
01:19:04.319 --> 01:19:07.079
That was the use. I knew he'd never lend us

1233
01:19:07.079 --> 01:19:08.399
the money. I knew it from the first.

1234
01:19:09.039 --> 01:19:11.399
I never even wanted to invite him and his secretary up,

1235
01:19:11.439 --> 01:19:14.920
but Gil had pinned his hopes on it. He'd worked

1236
01:19:14.960 --> 01:19:20.159
so hard. I worked funny word to apply to it.

1237
01:19:20.840 --> 01:19:23.239
Maybe if Gil had done some real work now and

1238
01:19:23.279 --> 01:19:31.359
then instead Jackie money, Well, how did you make out?

1239
01:19:32.199 --> 01:19:35.479
How did you make out with mister Burrows? Gil, I'm

1240
01:19:35.560 --> 01:19:39.880
talking to you. Is he still here, mister Burrows?

1241
01:19:40.159 --> 01:19:41.079
Oh? No, he left.

1242
01:19:41.319 --> 01:19:44.680
Well, I'm glad I didn't have to say goodbye to him.

1243
01:19:44.680 --> 01:19:48.239
I got pretty tired of being nice to him, didn't you. Yeah,

1244
01:19:48.439 --> 01:19:49.479
took the eight o'clock train.

1245
01:19:49.880 --> 01:19:51.640
Eight o'clock. He took the milk train.

1246
01:19:51.760 --> 01:19:53.680
The milk train. How do you know?

1247
01:19:54.119 --> 01:19:55.800
I'd broken with the station? That's how I know?

1248
01:19:56.439 --> 01:19:58.319
Well, what were you doing up at that hour?

1249
01:19:58.520 --> 01:20:01.560
Why I hadn't come to bed yet, That's all.

1250
01:20:01.720 --> 01:20:04.279
But what got into him? The milk train? Why that

1251
01:20:04.399 --> 01:20:05.680
hits here about four point thirty.

1252
01:20:05.520 --> 01:20:06.880
In the morning, doesn't it about?

1253
01:20:07.680 --> 01:20:07.880
Well?

1254
01:20:07.960 --> 01:20:10.359
I can't get it into my head. Why they should

1255
01:20:10.399 --> 01:20:11.399
bowld off like that?

1256
01:20:11.439 --> 01:20:13.800
They went alone? The secretary's still here?

1257
01:20:14.600 --> 01:20:16.880
You mean he left without Marsh?

1258
01:20:17.000 --> 01:20:19.039
Yeah, Marsh was up in his room sleeping at the time.

1259
01:20:19.800 --> 01:20:21.439
I guess Borrows didn't want to wait for him.

1260
01:20:21.760 --> 01:20:24.800
He went off and left his secretary behind. Well, now

1261
01:20:25.399 --> 01:20:28.560
that's the strangest thing I ever heard of. Why did

1262
01:20:28.600 --> 01:20:32.079
he bring him in the first place. You you had

1263
01:20:32.119 --> 01:20:34.760
a row with him, Gil, he turned you down, and

1264
01:20:34.840 --> 01:20:35.680
you let it.

1265
01:20:35.720 --> 01:20:36.399
Get the best of you.

1266
01:20:36.600 --> 01:20:37.000
I did not.

1267
01:20:37.279 --> 01:20:39.079
That's why he suddenly decided to leave like that.

1268
01:20:39.199 --> 01:20:41.119
I did not, I tell you, Why should I say

1269
01:20:41.119 --> 01:20:43.600
I didn't If I did, I don't know.

1270
01:20:45.039 --> 01:20:49.000
Everything is so mixed up, Gil, dear, want to toss

1271
01:20:49.039 --> 01:20:49.800
me my dressing gown?

1272
01:20:49.880 --> 01:20:56.359
It's on the chair there here you are, honey. Oh Jackie, yes, Jackie.

1273
01:20:57.439 --> 01:20:58.279
I got it out of him.

1274
01:21:00.399 --> 01:21:05.560
I got the twenty five hundred's skill.

1275
01:21:05.760 --> 01:21:08.800
He he finally gave him when I was driving into

1276
01:21:08.840 --> 01:21:09.159
the station.

1277
01:21:09.399 --> 01:21:10.119
You got all of it.

1278
01:21:10.439 --> 01:21:10.880
It works.

1279
01:21:12.520 --> 01:21:14.920
I didn't think he would. I mean the way he

1280
01:21:15.079 --> 01:21:17.960
was acting, because I know, I know. But he began

1281
01:21:18.039 --> 01:21:20.159
to soften up after you'd gone to bed. When I

1282
01:21:20.239 --> 01:21:21.159
asked him he came through.

1283
01:21:21.399 --> 01:21:23.800
But Gil, you mean, do you mean he carries that

1284
01:21:23.960 --> 01:21:25.159
much cash around with him?

1285
01:21:25.319 --> 01:21:26.039
There? It is, isn't it.

1286
01:21:26.920 --> 01:21:27.520
That's funny?

1287
01:21:27.880 --> 01:21:28.039
You know.

1288
01:21:28.119 --> 01:21:30.079
He came to me only yesterday and asked me where

1289
01:21:30.079 --> 01:21:31.840
he could cast a twenty five dollars check.

1290
01:21:32.159 --> 01:21:36.000
Oh yes, I know about that. I cashed it for him.

1291
01:21:36.199 --> 01:21:39.800
But the twenty five hundred, well, he had that already

1292
01:21:39.840 --> 01:21:42.439
for deposit when he got back to town Monday, couldn't

1293
01:21:42.479 --> 01:21:44.760
get it to the bank on time on Friday. He

1294
01:21:44.800 --> 01:21:46.479
didn't want to touch it, but when I told him

1295
01:21:46.479 --> 01:21:49.640
I'd rather have cash in the check, well he just

1296
01:21:49.720 --> 01:21:51.239
went the whole way and accommodated me.

1297
01:21:51.840 --> 01:21:56.199
Well, if there wasn't any friction, why did he leave

1298
01:21:56.199 --> 01:21:57.520
at such an unearthly hour?

1299
01:21:57.640 --> 01:22:00.960
I don't know, but and I don't care. Oh look, baby,

1300
01:22:01.720 --> 01:22:04.279
we got the money. Let's just be thankful. Well, of

1301
01:22:04.359 --> 01:22:05.359
course I'm thankful.

1302
01:22:05.439 --> 01:22:11.119
It's just a miss Lane, Miss Blaine, you Leona, Well,

1303
01:22:12.000 --> 01:22:14.279
just glad to give you two up, Miss Rose and

1304
01:22:14.359 --> 01:22:16.760
mister Carmers almost finish with the breakfas ain't you too?

1305
01:22:16.840 --> 01:22:21.079
Come here in a minute, Leona? Come on, Gil, let's hurry.

1306
01:22:21.560 --> 01:22:24.039
It's hard enough to get paying guests without neglecting the

1307
01:22:24.119 --> 01:22:24.600
ones we have.

1308
01:22:25.039 --> 01:22:27.119
Why don't fix that mister Blow's room while I was

1309
01:22:27.159 --> 01:22:28.520
waiting for like a Burrow's room.

1310
01:22:28.600 --> 01:22:30.640
But you didn't have to bother. He won't be using

1311
01:22:30.680 --> 01:22:31.159
it anymore.

1312
01:22:31.560 --> 01:22:32.960
You won't know he left.

1313
01:22:33.279 --> 01:22:33.920
You don't laugh?

1314
01:22:33.960 --> 01:22:34.079
Why?

1315
01:22:34.199 --> 01:22:36.520
Yes, Leona, what's the matter?

1316
01:22:37.079 --> 01:22:39.000
And what about all them suits and things you left

1317
01:22:39.039 --> 01:22:40.000
hanging up in the closet?

1318
01:22:40.079 --> 01:22:46.359
Yeah, he's clothes left in the closet. What about that, Gal?

1319
01:22:47.359 --> 01:22:50.159
Well, he he left in an awful hurry. That's all

1320
01:22:50.960 --> 01:22:53.359
eating me alone. Don't let's talk about.

1321
01:22:53.159 --> 01:23:00.680
It, all right, But somehow I feel that's something very

1322
01:23:00.920 --> 01:23:02.520
strange happened last night.

1323
01:23:11.119 --> 01:23:11.760
That's what happened.

1324
01:23:12.479 --> 01:23:14.239
I told him I wouldn't take any more stuff from him.

1325
01:23:14.640 --> 01:23:17.079
Next time he tries, it'll be too bad for him.

1326
01:23:18.000 --> 01:23:20.880
Becomes Gill and Jack have some more eggs?

1327
01:23:20.960 --> 01:23:21.239
Common?

1328
01:23:22.239 --> 01:23:25.079
Hello, Gil, what do you tell.

1329
01:23:24.960 --> 01:23:28.000
Me about why we were just talking about mister Burrows?

1330
01:23:28.119 --> 01:23:31.079
Mister Burrows Like, yeah, mister Carmon had an appointment to

1331
01:23:31.119 --> 01:23:32.199
play golf with him today.

1332
01:23:33.439 --> 01:23:36.520
Yes, fine player, fine player. Oh, by the way, where

1333
01:23:36.640 --> 01:23:39.000
is he? I haven't seen him all morning. He's uh,

1334
01:23:39.479 --> 01:23:41.960
he's not here, not here? Well, what do you mean

1335
01:23:42.199 --> 01:23:45.239
he's left? He left? Yes, can't a guy leave if

1336
01:23:45.279 --> 01:23:47.000
he wants to? Sure? Sure?

1337
01:23:47.079 --> 01:23:49.760
I Well, for one, I'm glad he was an old goat.

1338
01:23:50.279 --> 01:23:51.680
He's mad because he made a pass.

1339
01:23:52.840 --> 01:23:55.359
Well, you didn't like him too early? To Common? Is

1340
01:23:55.479 --> 01:23:57.079
he Common? Had a run in with him back in

1341
01:23:57.159 --> 01:23:58.399
the days of Bootleg Gin.

1342
01:23:59.640 --> 01:24:00.920
Well, not talk about it.

1343
01:24:01.119 --> 01:24:03.359
Gill's right, mister Burrows is gone. Let's forget it.

1344
01:24:03.439 --> 01:24:06.720
What did you say about mister Burrows leaving?

1345
01:24:06.760 --> 01:24:08.800
And we have to go through this again, Gil, Please,

1346
01:24:09.720 --> 01:24:11.680
mister Burrow's left on on early train.

1347
01:24:11.960 --> 01:24:15.279
You're joking. No, no, no, but I don't understand. You're

1348
01:24:15.319 --> 01:24:17.239
a secretary. You ought to know what he's going to do.

1349
01:24:17.840 --> 01:24:22.359
That's right, Gil, I should know. That's why it's so strange.

1350
01:24:23.039 --> 01:24:25.520
He told me we definitely were going to stay until

1351
01:24:25.560 --> 01:24:26.199
this afternoon.

1352
01:24:27.279 --> 01:24:29.359
Well he he changed his mind.

1353
01:24:31.880 --> 01:24:51.359
Say oh, you have to see plain Hello, Missus Blaine.

1354
01:24:51.600 --> 01:24:53.840
Yes, this is missus Burrow. Oh how do you do?

1355
01:24:54.600 --> 01:24:56.600
We were awfully sorry you couldn't come up with mister

1356
01:24:56.640 --> 01:24:57.600
Burrows for the weekend.

1357
01:24:58.159 --> 01:24:58.760
I'm sure you.

1358
01:25:00.279 --> 01:25:01.880
The poma not to let me know he was staying

1359
01:25:01.920 --> 01:25:04.000
over an additional day, and you can tell him so

1360
01:25:04.159 --> 01:25:05.920
for me. I think the least he could have done

1361
01:25:05.960 --> 01:25:08.640
with phone me offend of wire, Missus Burrow. I doubt

1362
01:25:08.680 --> 01:25:10.439
he finds it attractive up there.

1363
01:25:10.920 --> 01:25:13.680
Missus Burrow's wait a minute, he he isn't here anymore.

1364
01:25:13.880 --> 01:25:15.319
He did leave early this morning.

1365
01:25:15.600 --> 01:25:17.199
Early this morning, What do you mean.

1366
01:25:17.159 --> 01:25:19.920
When he took an early train, he should have been

1367
01:25:20.000 --> 01:25:22.960
in at the now let me see at eight thirty

1368
01:25:23.039 --> 01:25:25.520
this morning, eight thirty eight.

1369
01:25:26.479 --> 01:25:28.960
But then where really, why hasn't he come?

1370
01:25:29.119 --> 01:25:31.000
Well, maybe he went directly to his office.

1371
01:25:31.079 --> 01:25:34.279
Oh no, I called his office. They haven't heard from him.

1372
01:25:34.560 --> 01:25:36.000
You see, that's why I'm calling you.

1373
01:25:36.960 --> 01:25:37.119
Oh.

1374
01:25:37.199 --> 01:25:40.520
I don't understand all this. It just seemed that Marsh

1375
01:25:40.560 --> 01:25:42.039
would have yet in touch with me.

1376
01:25:42.560 --> 01:25:44.880
Well, Marsha's still here, Missus Burrows.

1377
01:25:45.239 --> 01:25:46.199
Marshas still there.

1378
01:25:46.319 --> 01:25:48.560
Yes, he went off without Marsh.

1379
01:25:49.760 --> 01:25:49.920
Oh.

1380
01:25:50.680 --> 01:25:52.600
Oh, now I know there's something wrong.

1381
01:25:53.159 --> 01:25:54.199
Why he's never done that?

1382
01:25:54.319 --> 01:25:57.720
We please, please, Missus Burrows. I'm sure there's nothing wrong.

1383
01:25:57.800 --> 01:26:01.439
He's just well. Uh, I better let you talk to Marsh.

1384
01:26:01.560 --> 01:26:04.039
Well, yes, yes, please please get him.

1385
01:26:09.159 --> 01:26:11.800
Mister Marsh. Mister Marsh, Missus Burrows is on the phone.

1386
01:26:11.840 --> 01:26:14.039
She wants to talk to you. Better take the extension

1387
01:26:14.039 --> 01:26:14.680
in the front room.

1388
01:26:14.840 --> 01:26:16.159
All right, she's very upset.

1389
01:26:16.239 --> 01:26:17.119
We have to calm her.

1390
01:26:21.760 --> 01:26:23.680
Hello, Missus Burrows, Marsh is coming.

1391
01:26:23.800 --> 01:26:29.800
Oh, something's wrong, I know it, Yes, Marsh, did you

1392
01:26:29.920 --> 01:26:31.359
know mister Burrows was going to leave.

1393
01:26:31.680 --> 01:26:32.840
No, he didn't say anything to me.

1394
01:26:33.199 --> 01:26:36.039
Well, Missus Blaine says he sept should have been here

1395
01:26:36.199 --> 01:26:36.840
and he isn't.

1396
01:26:36.960 --> 01:26:37.920
Well, I don't know.

1397
01:26:38.479 --> 01:26:39.880
It probably was just the lad.

1398
01:26:40.079 --> 01:26:46.399
Oh, no, No, something happened Charles marsh He had that

1399
01:26:47.840 --> 01:26:50.359
that important package in his inside pocket?

1400
01:26:50.520 --> 01:26:50.800
He did.

1401
01:26:51.079 --> 01:26:53.680
Yes, Oh, I don't know what to do. Should I

1402
01:26:53.760 --> 01:26:54.399
call the police?

1403
01:26:54.439 --> 01:26:55.000
The police?

1404
01:26:55.359 --> 01:26:58.600
But that's not Necessary's right? Let me take care of it.

1405
01:26:58.920 --> 01:27:00.680
I wait a few hours and he hasn't shown up

1406
01:27:00.680 --> 01:27:00.880
by that?

1407
01:27:01.039 --> 01:27:01.479
Oh right?

1408
01:27:01.680 --> 01:27:02.479
Do what do you think that?

1409
01:27:04.159 --> 01:27:04.399
Hello?

1410
01:27:05.119 --> 01:27:05.359
Hello?

1411
01:27:06.319 --> 01:27:06.760
She hung out?

1412
01:27:06.760 --> 01:27:07.520
Missus blame.

1413
01:27:09.399 --> 01:27:14.000
Important pathet, the twenty five hundred dollars, the twenty five

1414
01:27:14.119 --> 01:27:15.039
hundred gil god?

1415
01:27:16.159 --> 01:27:17.239
Oh kill.

1416
01:27:24.399 --> 01:27:25.359
That is missus Burrows.

1417
01:27:25.359 --> 01:27:26.319
She was awfully upset.

1418
01:27:26.920 --> 01:27:29.159
Didn't show up. She wants me to call the police.

1419
01:27:29.880 --> 01:27:31.359
Oh, now, wait a minute, you don't have to call

1420
01:27:31.399 --> 01:27:34.479
the police. Why shouldn't I call the police? After all,

1421
01:27:34.640 --> 01:27:35.880
mister Burrows is missing.

1422
01:27:36.000 --> 01:27:38.680
Oh he may show up yet, certainly he may show

1423
01:27:38.760 --> 01:27:40.439
up yet, Common's right, you don't have to call the

1424
01:27:40.479 --> 01:27:40.960
police now.

1425
01:27:41.520 --> 01:27:45.119
And why don't you want the police? Oh? Why there's

1426
01:27:45.239 --> 01:27:46.640
something strange here?

1427
01:27:46.680 --> 01:27:47.119
All right?

1428
01:27:47.239 --> 01:27:50.079
Why didn't mister Burrow say a word to me about leaving?

1429
01:27:50.239 --> 01:27:52.720
So you were asleep? I guess he didn't want to waken.

1430
01:27:53.199 --> 01:27:55.239
I've never known him to be considerate in my life.

1431
01:27:55.319 --> 01:27:56.640
I suppose he knew what he was doing.

1432
01:27:56.760 --> 01:28:00.359
I'm not so sure. What do you mean what he

1433
01:28:00.520 --> 01:28:03.239
was doing? Why did he leave his return ticket on

1434
01:28:03.319 --> 01:28:03.840
the dresser?

1435
01:28:04.079 --> 01:28:13.159
A strange silence fell over the entire group. Marsh was suspicious.

1436
01:28:13.880 --> 01:28:16.359
Soon he would call the police, and I had a

1437
01:28:16.479 --> 01:28:18.840
strong feeling that gil knew more about this than he

1438
01:28:18.960 --> 01:28:19.199
let on.

1439
01:28:20.600 --> 01:28:23.159
After breakfast, the group broke up and I.

1440
01:28:23.239 --> 01:28:24.960
Stayed to help me on it clear the table, and

1441
01:28:25.079 --> 01:28:27.520
I saw Gill and calm and walk out on the porch.

1442
01:28:27.399 --> 01:28:36.000
Together cigarette Gill. Yeah, thanks man, here a fine morning.

1443
01:28:36.359 --> 01:28:38.079
So you can't ask me out here to speak about

1444
01:28:38.079 --> 01:28:41.359
the weather. No, no, I didn't. I want the money

1445
01:28:41.399 --> 01:28:43.960
you wore me. Yeah, that's what I thought. It was

1446
01:28:44.000 --> 01:28:46.640
too long ago with he interested adds up to twenty

1447
01:28:46.720 --> 01:28:50.800
five hundred. I can't pay you now. Why not? You

1448
01:28:50.880 --> 01:28:51.800
said you'd pay it today.

1449
01:28:52.039 --> 01:28:54.119
Well it's not that I haven't got it, it's it's

1450
01:28:54.319 --> 01:28:58.439
what well, it's well, everything's so mixed up.

1451
01:28:58.520 --> 01:29:02.279
Now you can know you means disappearance. Look, give me

1452
01:29:02.319 --> 01:29:05.600
another twenty four hours, I'd like to Gill, but it

1453
01:29:05.680 --> 01:29:08.000
comes Jackie, all right, twenty four hours and no more.

1454
01:29:08.560 --> 01:29:10.680
I'm sorry if I'm interrupting something important.

1455
01:29:10.840 --> 01:29:12.960
Oh no, no, you're just talking about the weather.

1456
01:29:13.239 --> 01:29:14.239
It is lovely, isn't this?

1457
01:29:14.479 --> 01:29:16.680
Yeah? Well, I better get up to the golf course.

1458
01:29:16.960 --> 01:29:18.800
Oh say, Gil, could you lend me the car to

1459
01:29:18.920 --> 01:29:21.039
drive up? It's pretty far and I'll do plenty of

1460
01:29:21.079 --> 01:29:22.800
walking when I get there. Well, as a matter of fact,

1461
01:29:22.840 --> 01:29:26.640
common I'm going to use it myself. Oh well, in

1462
01:29:26.800 --> 01:29:28.319
that case, I had better stop walking.

1463
01:29:28.640 --> 01:29:28.960
So long.

1464
01:29:29.159 --> 01:29:29.560
Goodbye.

1465
01:29:32.800 --> 01:29:34.239
He was after the money, wasn't he?

1466
01:29:34.840 --> 01:29:36.520
Yeah, but I didn't give it to him?

1467
01:29:36.720 --> 01:29:40.000
Why not, mister Burrows gave it to you and we

1468
01:29:40.159 --> 01:29:40.920
do owe it to come.

1469
01:29:41.079 --> 01:29:42.479
Can't you leave me alone for a minute?

1470
01:29:42.640 --> 01:29:43.399
Say you two?

1471
01:29:43.640 --> 01:29:45.760
Why the brown? Hello, miss Robel. I don't want to

1472
01:29:45.800 --> 01:29:48.199
interrupt a private fight, so I'll stake my business quickly.

1473
01:29:48.720 --> 01:29:49.640
How about lending me the car?

1474
01:29:49.720 --> 01:29:49.920
Gil?

1475
01:29:49.920 --> 01:29:50.399
I want to try.

1476
01:29:50.399 --> 01:29:52.920
I'm sorry, Miss Robules, but I needed I'm driving into

1477
01:29:53.000 --> 01:29:54.520
town and right now.

1478
01:30:00.079 --> 01:30:02.680
Kill drove off. The rest of the day went by

1479
01:30:02.800 --> 01:30:03.399
in a haze.

1480
01:30:04.119 --> 01:30:07.039
Hill didn't come back. He stayed away all day without

1481
01:30:07.079 --> 01:30:11.399
even phoning me. He had never done that before. It

1482
01:30:11.560 --> 01:30:14.520
almost seemed as though he avoided me intentionally.

1483
01:30:15.520 --> 01:30:18.279
Good evening, as I was putting the finishing touches on dinner,

1484
01:30:18.760 --> 01:30:19.479
Leona came.

1485
01:30:19.479 --> 01:30:19.760
Up to me.

1486
01:30:20.359 --> 01:30:21.960
Here's a man you'd seen, miss Blaine?

1487
01:30:22.000 --> 01:30:25.039
Burs He in the front room. Well er, who is it?

1488
01:30:25.560 --> 01:30:27.079
Somebody I ain't never seen before?

1489
01:30:27.680 --> 01:30:30.880
All right, I talked to him. You look after things here?

1490
01:30:30.960 --> 01:30:31.920
Leonor Yes, I'm.

1491
01:30:31.760 --> 01:30:37.119
Away, good evening.

1492
01:30:37.880 --> 01:30:38.800
My name's Ward.

1493
01:30:39.039 --> 01:30:40.920
I'm missus Blaine. You wanted to see me.

1494
01:30:41.199 --> 01:30:43.239
I wanted to have a few words with mister Blaine.

1495
01:30:43.840 --> 01:30:46.039
Oh, I see what was it about?

1496
01:30:46.119 --> 01:30:49.800
You know what it's about. It's about Burroughs. His office

1497
01:30:49.840 --> 01:30:53.119
sent me down. Mister Burrows. I got about him. He

1498
01:30:53.239 --> 01:30:54.399
was a guest here, wasn't he?

1499
01:30:54.880 --> 01:30:55.079
Yes?

1500
01:30:55.520 --> 01:30:56.920
When did he leave last night?

1501
01:30:57.000 --> 01:30:58.439
My husband drove him to the station?

1502
01:30:58.840 --> 01:30:59.199
Really?

1503
01:31:00.119 --> 01:31:02.880
How interesting? What do you mean we happen to know

1504
01:31:03.000 --> 01:31:05.399
that he never got on that train? I thought maybe

1505
01:31:05.439 --> 01:31:07.399
your husband could tell me a few things i'd.

1506
01:31:07.279 --> 01:31:07.600
Like to know.

1507
01:31:08.920 --> 01:31:10.880
I'll see if he's here just a moment.

1508
01:31:11.800 --> 01:31:14.159
I'd also like to see some of the other guests.

1509
01:31:14.359 --> 01:31:17.520
Well, I'm sorry, but nobody's here just now. Mister Roberts

1510
01:31:17.600 --> 01:31:18.840
is out walking, and mister.

1511
01:31:18.720 --> 01:31:25.319
Carmen has Carmon Carmen short fat Italian? Why is how

1512
01:31:25.359 --> 01:31:28.039
did you know mister Burrows always ran into him before?

1513
01:31:29.359 --> 01:31:30.760
Now I'd like to see your husband.

1514
01:31:31.159 --> 01:31:33.800
Please sit down. I'll see if I can find him.

1515
01:31:33.920 --> 01:31:41.760
Thank you, Yes, Miss Blake.

1516
01:31:41.840 --> 01:31:44.199
Has mister Gil come back yet, No, ma'am I seen

1517
01:31:44.239 --> 01:31:45.479
him since he drove off his mom.

1518
01:31:45.560 --> 01:31:49.239
I see, well, tell the gentleman to wait. I'm going

1519
01:31:49.279 --> 01:32:02.199
out on the veranda. I went out on the veranda,

1520
01:32:02.960 --> 01:32:03.199
up and.

1521
01:32:03.319 --> 01:32:05.159
Down the length of the porch and back again.

1522
01:32:05.199 --> 01:32:08.279
I walked, my eyes glued to the dark highway that

1523
01:32:08.399 --> 01:32:11.399
ran past the house, hoping against hope that Gil would

1524
01:32:11.439 --> 01:32:12.079
show up before the.

1525
01:32:12.119 --> 01:32:13.359
Detective came looking for me.

1526
01:32:14.760 --> 01:32:18.640
Gil had the twenty five hundred on him, Burrough's, his cash,

1527
01:32:19.199 --> 01:32:20.439
that important package.

1528
01:32:20.479 --> 01:32:22.119
Missus Burrow spoke of to Marsh.

1529
01:32:22.800 --> 01:32:26.840
I had to see Gil first, And suddenly I saw

1530
01:32:26.880 --> 01:32:30.319
a car speeding down the road, Gill's car, I could.

1531
01:32:30.199 --> 01:32:32.680
Tell by the one dim headlight. It toiled through the

1532
01:32:32.840 --> 01:32:37.239
dark at top speed, then swerved through our gate and

1533
01:32:37.319 --> 01:32:38.079
into the garage.

1534
01:32:38.479 --> 01:32:40.920
I was about to run down the steps when another

1535
01:32:41.000 --> 01:32:42.720
pair of headlights split the gilm of the highway.

1536
01:32:43.159 --> 01:32:45.479
As the car came on, I recognized the taxi from town.

1537
01:32:49.760 --> 01:32:50.880
A figure climbed.

1538
01:32:50.600 --> 01:32:53.560
Out quickly, Gil Tacky, did you see the car?

1539
01:32:53.920 --> 01:32:54.079
Car?

1540
01:32:54.520 --> 01:32:54.680
Yes?

1541
01:32:54.760 --> 01:32:55.000
Gil?

1542
01:32:55.279 --> 01:32:57.359
It went on the garage was driving it.

1543
01:32:57.479 --> 01:32:59.720
Well, I couldn't see body, is it, Gilly?

1544
01:32:59.760 --> 01:32:59.800
You?

1545
01:32:59.880 --> 01:33:01.600
And no time to talk? No time to talk?

1546
01:33:01.640 --> 01:33:03.520
Where are you going with you?

1547
01:33:06.159 --> 01:33:17.159
The doors are closed? Hey, there nobody here, anyone in

1548
01:33:17.239 --> 01:33:22.680
the car? No, whoever it was beat it. Oh, I'd

1549
01:33:22.800 --> 01:33:23.720
like to know who it was.

1550
01:33:24.279 --> 01:33:24.520
Gil.

1551
01:33:25.560 --> 01:33:27.520
I don't understand what this is all about.

1552
01:33:27.840 --> 01:33:32.279
Frankly, I don't either. I Well, that is I was

1553
01:33:32.359 --> 01:33:34.760
parked in front of the store in town. I came

1554
01:33:34.800 --> 01:33:36.680
out and saw somebody hop in my car and drive

1555
01:33:36.760 --> 01:33:37.359
off like mad.

1556
01:33:37.560 --> 01:33:38.000
I thought.

1557
01:33:38.359 --> 01:33:40.520
I don't know whether he was after but I don't

1558
01:33:40.520 --> 01:33:42.560
think he got it. I chased the car all the

1559
01:33:42.600 --> 01:33:44.399
way here in the taxi. I saw it coming down

1560
01:33:44.439 --> 01:33:44.720
the road.

1561
01:33:44.760 --> 01:33:45.359
I thought it was you.

1562
01:33:45.760 --> 01:33:55.279
Well, let's go back to the house, Gil. Yes, Gil,

1563
01:33:55.319 --> 01:33:58.079
there's somebody here to see you. A man named Ward Ward.

1564
01:33:58.600 --> 01:34:00.000
Who's he? What does he want?

1565
01:34:00.520 --> 01:34:04.039
He wants to talk to you about burrs. He's a detective.

1566
01:34:04.520 --> 01:34:08.119
Oh and you'd better let me have the wallet with

1567
01:34:08.239 --> 01:34:09.840
the money, just to be on the safegun.

1568
01:34:09.960 --> 01:34:10.079
Oh.

1569
01:34:10.119 --> 01:34:12.239
Look, I don't want you mixed up in any be

1570
01:34:12.239 --> 01:34:17.520
all right, Please give it to me. Well, okay, now

1571
01:34:17.560 --> 01:34:18.159
you'll have to go in.

1572
01:34:18.239 --> 01:34:18.840
And talk to him.

1573
01:34:19.000 --> 01:34:20.439
Yeah, I suppose.

1574
01:34:20.520 --> 01:34:25.760
So I went up to my room and lay there

1575
01:34:25.800 --> 01:34:29.640
in the dark, trying to distinguish the murmur of voices

1576
01:34:29.680 --> 01:34:33.079
from below. But all I could hear was a blur

1577
01:34:33.279 --> 01:34:33.960
of sound.

1578
01:34:34.880 --> 01:34:35.239
I got.

1579
01:34:38.079 --> 01:34:38.239
Time.

1580
01:34:38.279 --> 01:34:39.319
It'll be too bad for him.

1581
01:34:41.600 --> 01:34:42.359
He's not gonna hurry.

1582
01:34:42.479 --> 01:34:43.000
Let me along.

1583
01:34:43.920 --> 01:34:45.720
Why don't you want the police? Why don't you want

1584
01:34:45.760 --> 01:34:46.159
the police?

1585
01:34:46.319 --> 01:34:47.479
Why don't you want the police?

1586
01:34:53.279 --> 01:34:55.279
Jackie? Wait?

1587
01:34:55.600 --> 01:34:59.479
Yes here, sit down, Gil, You look tired.

1588
01:35:00.439 --> 01:35:05.520
I am very What did Ward say that much? But

1589
01:35:05.640 --> 01:35:10.840
I know he's suspicious. He's going to stay tonight. Oh well,

1590
01:35:11.039 --> 01:35:13.199
let's get to bed now. I'm tired.

1591
01:35:16.479 --> 01:35:16.640
Oh.

1592
01:35:18.159 --> 01:35:19.920
Oh, by the way, did you see the King of

1593
01:35:19.960 --> 01:35:20.520
the rubble steed?

1594
01:35:20.960 --> 01:35:22.000
The King of the rumble seat?

1595
01:35:22.960 --> 01:35:30.399
No, mister Gloucester. M good night.

1596
01:35:33.399 --> 01:35:33.640
Gil.

1597
01:35:35.319 --> 01:35:39.039
You've never told me, You've never told me one way

1598
01:35:39.119 --> 01:35:42.760
or the other. Can You've got to tell me?

1599
01:35:45.039 --> 01:35:48.159
It's all right? All right, Jackie? I Will.

1600
01:35:49.560 --> 01:35:52.960
Burrows never gave me the twenty five hundred. He refused me.

1601
01:35:54.000 --> 01:35:57.800
We quarreled, and I was mad. I suppose he was

1602
01:35:57.800 --> 01:35:59.640
afraid of me, afraid of what I might do to

1603
01:35:59.720 --> 01:36:03.720
him anyway, That's why he left so suddenly made me

1604
01:36:03.840 --> 01:36:04.600
drive him to the station.

1605
01:36:04.960 --> 01:36:06.279
Did you see him get on the train?

1606
01:36:06.640 --> 01:36:06.680
No.

1607
01:36:07.000 --> 01:36:10.199
I left him at the station, left my car there

1608
01:36:10.279 --> 01:36:13.520
and walked down the street. I was sore and I

1609
01:36:13.640 --> 01:36:16.600
had to think. I heard the train come and go,

1610
01:36:17.359 --> 01:36:21.039
and when I went back, Burrows was gone. I got

1611
01:36:21.079 --> 01:36:22.800
in the car and drove home.

1612
01:36:22.960 --> 01:36:26.079
And the twenty five hundred I lied when he said

1613
01:36:26.079 --> 01:36:26.880
he had that cash.

1614
01:36:27.640 --> 01:36:28.680
Then where did you get it?

1615
01:36:29.239 --> 01:36:31.600
Remember the twenty five dollar check I cash for him.

1616
01:36:32.520 --> 01:36:36.520
Yes, I added two zeros after the twenty five, Oh, Gil,

1617
01:36:37.119 --> 01:36:39.239
I rode in the word hundred. There was a space

1618
01:36:39.279 --> 01:36:42.880
where it made the water. Then I cashed it, Gil Gil.

1619
01:36:43.359 --> 01:36:46.079
I know I am low Jackie, but I didn't kill him.

1620
01:36:46.359 --> 01:36:46.840
I didn't.

1621
01:36:46.880 --> 01:36:48.000
Then what became of him?

1622
01:36:48.000 --> 01:36:48.439
Where is he?

1623
01:36:48.800 --> 01:36:54.600
I don't know. I wish I did. But what somebody's

1624
01:36:54.640 --> 01:36:56.439
out there, whoever it is, is trying to open the

1625
01:36:56.479 --> 01:36:57.039
garage door.

1626
01:36:57.920 --> 01:37:00.439
I can't see who it is. It's not a woman,

1627
01:37:00.600 --> 01:37:02.079
not Miss Roubles. I can see that much.

1628
01:37:02.319 --> 01:37:10.560
It could be common. What are you doing in that drawer,

1629
01:37:10.880 --> 01:37:11.680
just getting this gun?

1630
01:37:12.199 --> 01:37:15.279
Not no, Gil, give me that gun. You can't shoot

1631
01:37:15.319 --> 01:37:17.720
anybody in the dark like that. I'm going to turn

1632
01:37:17.760 --> 01:37:18.159
all the lights.

1633
01:37:18.279 --> 01:37:21.840
Oh Jackie is Gil? He's running away gone.

1634
01:37:22.439 --> 01:37:22.960
Who was it?

1635
01:37:23.479 --> 01:37:27.279
I couldn't see, could you? No, Gil No, it just

1636
01:37:27.600 --> 01:37:31.000
means waiting until the next time. Oh Jackie, what am

1637
01:37:31.039 --> 01:37:31.520
I going to do?

1638
01:37:31.720 --> 01:37:33.960
I don't know, dear, but we'll get out of it somehow.

1639
01:37:34.199 --> 01:37:36.439
How I'm all mixed up.

1640
01:37:37.039 --> 01:37:41.920
There's one clear thing. Somebody is awfully interested in that car.

1641
01:37:47.199 --> 01:37:50.600
I lay awake until the sun was up. Then a shallow,

1642
01:37:50.720 --> 01:37:54.840
feverish sleep came, and when I awoke it was almost evening.

1643
01:37:55.880 --> 01:37:59.359
Girl's bed was empty. There were the indistinct sounds of

1644
01:37:59.439 --> 01:38:02.479
life in the house below. I rose, and as my

1645
01:38:02.600 --> 01:38:06.079
mind cleared, my words of the night before broke through

1646
01:38:06.119 --> 01:38:07.560
the edges of my consciousness.

1647
01:38:09.199 --> 01:38:10.359
There's one clear thing.

1648
01:38:11.640 --> 01:38:14.319
Somebody is awfully interested in that car.

1649
01:38:17.600 --> 01:38:22.600
I dressed slowly, tantalizing thought hovered just beyond my grasp

1650
01:38:23.520 --> 01:38:23.880
the car.

1651
01:38:24.920 --> 01:38:26.199
What was there about the car?

1652
01:38:29.279 --> 01:38:32.159
I slowly walked down the hallway, my eyes half closed,

1653
01:38:32.960 --> 01:38:36.239
thinking I had to talk to Gil.

1654
01:38:39.640 --> 01:38:43.039
Leona, Leona, Yes, where's mister Gil?

1655
01:38:43.199 --> 01:38:45.119
Well he done went to town, mister Walls, he went

1656
01:38:45.199 --> 01:38:48.000
with Ward. Yes, right after breakfast. Mister Carmon gave him

1657
01:38:48.000 --> 01:38:50.880
a lift down and Harmon, Oh yes, good, mister Gill.

1658
01:38:50.920 --> 01:38:51.880
He don't left you his note.

1659
01:38:51.920 --> 01:38:57.359
Oh, let me see it, Jackie. I've gone downtown with Ward.

1660
01:38:57.840 --> 01:39:02.239
I'm going to tell him, tell him about the check.

1661
01:39:03.600 --> 01:39:09.399
Whatever happens will have to happen. No, Gil no, Gil No,

1662
01:39:10.439 --> 01:39:11.319
I've got to stop him.

1663
01:39:11.359 --> 01:39:12.399
I'm going to drive to town.

1664
01:39:21.159 --> 01:39:23.800
I've got to get there to fork kill mister Blaine,

1665
01:39:24.399 --> 01:39:25.760
missus Blaine, where.

1666
01:39:25.640 --> 01:39:26.000
Are you going?

1667
01:39:26.000 --> 01:39:27.159
I'm going to town, mister Marshell.

1668
01:39:27.199 --> 01:39:27.840
May I come along?

1669
01:39:28.000 --> 01:39:28.159
Well?

1670
01:39:28.199 --> 01:39:31.359
I oh, I suppose, so hurry up and.

1671
01:39:31.359 --> 01:39:31.640
Get in.

1672
01:39:48.720 --> 01:39:49.279
Getting dark?

1673
01:39:49.560 --> 01:39:52.399
Yes, I hope you don't mind me driving so fast.

1674
01:39:52.399 --> 01:39:53.520
I'm in a terrible hurry.

1675
01:39:53.720 --> 01:39:58.039
No, pull down the next side road, I said, pulled

1676
01:39:58.079 --> 01:40:00.960
down the next side road, Yes, a gun.

1677
01:40:01.119 --> 01:40:03.600
Now, do as I say. There's something in this car

1678
01:40:03.800 --> 01:40:04.239
I want.

1679
01:40:04.680 --> 01:40:05.159
I won't.

1680
01:40:05.920 --> 01:40:06.840
I must get to kill.

1681
01:40:07.720 --> 01:40:08.600
Let go that wheel.

1682
01:40:09.439 --> 01:40:11.800
Let go that wheel, I said, there's something here I want.

1683
01:40:12.000 --> 01:40:12.800
There's a car coming.

1684
01:40:13.159 --> 01:40:13.439
Let go.

1685
01:40:22.439 --> 01:40:27.800
I tried to move. Miraculously we were alive. The other

1686
01:40:27.880 --> 01:40:29.279
car had kareem beyond us.

1687
01:40:29.359 --> 01:40:29.840
Up the road.

1688
01:40:31.039 --> 01:40:34.399
I saw that the side was snatched in, and I

1689
01:40:34.479 --> 01:40:35.359
heard Marsh's voice.

1690
01:40:35.439 --> 01:40:37.479
I ought to kill you for this. That was a

1691
01:40:37.520 --> 01:40:38.079
police car.

1692
01:40:38.520 --> 01:40:41.000
Keep your mouth shut here he comes now now Remember

1693
01:40:41.600 --> 01:40:43.279
there's a gun pointing at your back.

1694
01:40:44.199 --> 01:40:46.960
Hey, you maniacs, what's the idea trying to kill somebody?

1695
01:40:47.039 --> 01:40:49.640
I'm sorry, officer. We have a little trouble with the

1696
01:40:49.680 --> 01:40:51.760
steering wheel, and you won't have any more trouble with it.

1697
01:40:52.000 --> 01:40:53.039
It's the end of your license.

1698
01:40:53.039 --> 01:40:55.319
I'll see here, Officer. I'm in a terrible hurry if you,

1699
01:40:55.439 --> 01:40:57.720
if you let me drive to the station. Wait a minute, buddy,

1700
01:40:58.159 --> 01:40:59.359
save your name? What's yours?

1701
01:40:59.439 --> 01:40:59.600
Want?

1702
01:41:00.399 --> 01:41:03.039
Marsh? Charles Marsh? What's yours? Lady?

1703
01:41:03.960 --> 01:41:06.800
This is Gilbert Lane and and yours?

1704
01:41:08.000 --> 01:41:09.680
Well, come on, what's yours? What's your name?

1705
01:41:09.920 --> 01:41:10.840
Who are you talking to?

1706
01:41:11.279 --> 01:41:13.199
A guy in the rumble seat? The rumble seeds?

1707
01:41:13.520 --> 01:41:14.239
Mister Burrus?

1708
01:41:16.000 --> 01:41:18.640
Oh it's Burrows, is it? Why don't you say so?

1709
01:41:19.560 --> 01:41:19.720
Hey?

1710
01:41:19.800 --> 01:41:20.800
What are you a wise guy?

1711
01:41:20.880 --> 01:41:21.800
Sitting there like a mummy?

1712
01:41:22.600 --> 01:41:23.399
Come on answer me?

1713
01:41:23.479 --> 01:41:26.119
Will you wait a minute?

1714
01:41:26.479 --> 01:41:27.279
This guy's dead.

1715
01:41:29.039 --> 01:41:29.479
You did this.

1716
01:41:30.079 --> 01:41:32.000
The rumble seats threw open when we crashed off.

1717
01:41:32.279 --> 01:41:32.800
He's got a gun.

1718
01:41:33.159 --> 01:41:33.880
He murdered that man.

1719
01:41:34.000 --> 01:41:39.840
I'm runing. You keep back or that takes care of him.

1720
01:41:40.680 --> 01:41:45.079
All right now, sister, yes, I'm all right now.

1721
01:41:54.560 --> 01:41:57.199
Well, that job's finished. Nothing left for me to do

1722
01:41:57.359 --> 01:41:58.199
but go back to town.

1723
01:41:58.399 --> 01:41:59.920
So it was Marsh after all.

1724
01:42:00.199 --> 01:42:02.079
Yeah, I don't understand why he.

1725
01:42:02.239 --> 01:42:06.039
Was contemplating a change from secretary to husband. Naturally, with

1726
01:42:06.199 --> 01:42:09.000
mister Burrow's dead, Missus Burrows would inherit all the money.

1727
01:42:09.479 --> 01:42:09.920
I see.

1728
01:42:10.319 --> 01:42:13.359
Marsh followed Gil and mister Burrows that night to the station.

1729
01:42:14.119 --> 01:42:17.520
Gil was gone. He killed Burrows, stuffing him into ramble seat,

1730
01:42:17.560 --> 01:42:18.680
locked it and kept the key.

1731
01:42:18.720 --> 01:42:20.720
Well, the thing I don't understand is why Marsh kept

1732
01:42:20.760 --> 01:42:22.760
fiddling with the car. What was it that he wanted?

1733
01:42:22.800 --> 01:42:24.439
It seems to be he was in the clear if

1734
01:42:24.439 --> 01:42:25.439
he left well enough alone.

1735
01:42:25.560 --> 01:42:28.960
Eh, that's what tripped him up. Remember when he talked

1736
01:42:28.960 --> 01:42:31.239
to Missus Burrows on the phone. They said something about

1737
01:42:31.239 --> 01:42:32.720
an important package.

1738
01:42:32.359 --> 01:42:35.039
For Yes, I assumed it to be the twenty five hundred.

1739
01:42:35.119 --> 01:42:37.119
Gil told me about it, but of course it wasn't.

1740
01:42:37.800 --> 01:42:39.800
There was a package of letters that mister Burrows had

1741
01:42:39.800 --> 01:42:40.399
gotten hold of.

1742
01:42:40.520 --> 01:42:42.640
I get it. Those letters were written by Marsh to

1743
01:42:42.760 --> 01:42:43.880
Missus Burrows.

1744
01:42:43.600 --> 01:42:46.560
Right, and they would incriminate him. He found out about

1745
01:42:46.560 --> 01:42:47.439
them after the murder.

1746
01:42:47.600 --> 01:42:49.800
Right again. Oh, he had to get them to make

1747
01:42:49.840 --> 01:42:54.640
it perfect. Well, I guess I'll shove off so long

1748
01:42:54.800 --> 01:42:55.680
and thanks.

1749
01:42:56.920 --> 01:42:57.760
Oh, by the.

1750
01:42:57.760 --> 01:43:01.640
Way, you may want to DePass that you say twenty

1751
01:43:01.680 --> 01:43:04.119
five hundred dollars to mister Burrow's account.

1752
01:43:04.479 --> 01:43:10.680
Yeah, I see what you mean. Thanks, goodbye, Jackie.

1753
01:43:11.960 --> 01:43:15.239
Yes that there's still twenty five hundred dollars that have

1754
01:43:15.279 --> 01:43:16.159
to come from somewhere.

1755
01:43:17.000 --> 01:43:18.800
He went a long way around to get right back

1756
01:43:18.840 --> 01:43:21.600
where we started from. We come through all that trouble

1757
01:43:21.720 --> 01:43:22.520
and end up broke.

1758
01:43:23.119 --> 01:43:44.279
Yes, Darling, that's the way it ends, And so.

1759
01:43:44.479 --> 01:43:49.039
Closes the story called Last Night starring Margo and Kent Smith,

1760
01:43:49.319 --> 01:43:53.840
Tonight's tale of Suspense. This is your narrator, the Man

1761
01:43:53.920 --> 01:43:57.000
in Black, who conveys to you Columbia's invitation to spend

1762
01:43:57.079 --> 01:43:59.880
this half hour in suspense with us again next Tuesday,

1763
01:44:00.319 --> 01:44:03.159
when John Sutton and George Zuko, the star in the

1764
01:44:03.199 --> 01:44:07.319
suspense play by John Dixon Carr called The Man Without

1765
01:44:07.359 --> 01:44:11.199
a Body. Producer of these broadcasts is William Spear, with

1766
01:44:11.319 --> 01:44:15.119
Ted Blister, director Lat Gluskin, and Lucian Mahowick conductor and composer,

1767
01:44:15.479 --> 01:44:20.479
and Cornell will Rich the Offer collaborated on Tonight's suspense.

1768
01:44:24.479 --> 01:44:29.119
This is CBS, the Columbia Broadcasting System.

1769
01:44:45.279 --> 01:44:48.720
Well, my dear, I hope I didn't make you too

1770
01:44:49.640 --> 01:44:56.319
nervous with my musings. Well, I do like to prattle

1771
01:44:56.399 --> 01:45:03.439
on and wonder and wander. But of course now is

1772
01:45:03.560 --> 01:45:10.800
the time for some kind of exploration, some kind of discovery,

1773
01:45:10.880 --> 01:45:17.600
I suppose. But then again, the more time passes, the

1774
01:45:17.720 --> 01:45:23.079
more I wonder. Is trying to understand all of this,

1775
01:45:24.359 --> 01:45:31.119
all of these moments and quirks. Is it simply fool's gold?

1776
01:45:32.840 --> 01:45:53.439
Have you heard the strange tales of the Whistler? I'm

1777
01:45:53.880 --> 01:46:02.159
the whistler. My plan is found mathmatically sound, it cannot fail.

1778
01:46:02.239 --> 01:46:02.920
It's perfect.

1779
01:46:03.720 --> 01:46:07.600
Three months from now I will be worth fifty thousand dollars,

1780
01:46:08.279 --> 01:46:09.840
independent for life.

1781
01:46:14.279 --> 01:46:17.720
Another Sunday night, and again CBS presents the Whistler.

1782
01:46:21.920 --> 01:46:22.239
II.

1783
01:46:22.399 --> 01:46:25.880
The Whistler know many things, or I walk by night.

1784
01:46:26.920 --> 01:46:30.520
I know many strange tales, many secrets hidden in the

1785
01:46:30.600 --> 01:46:33.479
hearts of men and women who have stepped into the shadows.

1786
01:46:34.680 --> 01:46:37.279
And so I tell you tonight the amazing tale of

1787
01:46:38.159 --> 01:46:44.079
Fool's Gold. Herbert Laying is chief teller of the Amalgamated Bank.

1788
01:46:44.680 --> 01:46:47.640
A thrifty man of forty three, Herbert has been an

1789
01:46:47.640 --> 01:46:50.399
employee a small Surah for over twenty years.

1790
01:46:50.960 --> 01:46:52.039
Honest and punctual.

1791
01:46:52.159 --> 01:46:53.800
His reputation is above reproach.

1792
01:46:54.640 --> 01:46:58.800
Herbert is thin, slightly bald, bespectacled, and unmarried.

1793
01:46:59.439 --> 01:47:02.199
Herbert is a poor man, but he has a plan.

1794
01:47:02.399 --> 01:47:05.439
He won't always be poor because he's developed his plan

1795
01:47:05.720 --> 01:47:09.640
for ten years, and ten years should bring mathematical perfection

1796
01:47:09.840 --> 01:47:10.600
to any plan.

1797
01:47:12.039 --> 01:47:14.079
Five years now it has been working.

1798
01:47:14.880 --> 01:47:18.239
By the first of June, three months from now, I

1799
01:47:18.399 --> 01:47:20.840
will be worth fifty thousand dollars.

1800
01:47:24.560 --> 01:47:27.439
Herbert studies the figures on the little pad before him,

1801
01:47:27.880 --> 01:47:32.399
writes a total of fifty thousand, and smiles behind his bifocals.

1802
01:47:32.880 --> 01:47:34.640
Then an abrupt sound breaks his meditation.

1803
01:47:38.319 --> 01:47:40.439
The arditor has just found another shortage, and they've traced

1804
01:47:40.760 --> 01:47:44.560
shortage and nothing. Yes, three thousand dollars. They've traced it,

1805
01:47:44.680 --> 01:47:46.520
definitely third one this year.

1806
01:47:46.960 --> 01:47:48.119
And to whom did they trace it?

1807
01:47:48.199 --> 01:47:51.039
Mister favor, That young fellow Button denies it, of course,

1808
01:47:51.079 --> 01:47:53.720
but the evidence is all against him. But I can't

1809
01:47:53.840 --> 01:47:56.279
understand what happens to young men lately. I do my

1810
01:47:56.399 --> 01:47:58.239
best to hire the ones I think are on. I

1811
01:47:58.319 --> 01:48:01.199
wish you'd exercise a little more care. Oh, I know

1812
01:48:01.399 --> 01:48:03.960
they have the best of references. I sultink by now

1813
01:48:04.039 --> 01:48:05.479
you'd be able to judge character.

1814
01:48:05.279 --> 01:48:06.880
To glass, i'd have sworn by that.

1815
01:48:08.720 --> 01:48:12.399
You've taken down to the police stations a shaming, very embarrassing,

1816
01:48:12.479 --> 01:48:16.279
mister Fabe. I feel as though I'm responsible now, don't

1817
01:48:16.279 --> 01:48:18.760
take it that way, Herbert, and for all we're insured,

1818
01:48:19.439 --> 01:48:21.920
but it is annoying to both of us. We all

1819
01:48:22.039 --> 01:48:26.039
make mistakes in judgment. Now and then said you had

1820
01:48:26.159 --> 01:48:28.439
your nose to the wheel without a vacation for three years.

1821
01:48:28.520 --> 01:48:31.319
Now it doesn't pay, Herbert, you'll crack up. Well, I

1822
01:48:31.520 --> 01:48:34.359
haven't felt as though I needed a vacation, and besides,

1823
01:48:34.399 --> 01:48:35.840
when I do take one, I'd like to have it

1824
01:48:35.880 --> 01:48:39.159
all in one lump. I've always wanted to tour Europe

1825
01:48:39.239 --> 01:48:42.079
for some foreign land for two weeks mean nothing. I

1826
01:48:42.199 --> 01:48:45.520
understand I feel the same way, but what chance is there?

1827
01:48:46.359 --> 01:48:48.119
I do think you need a rest from this place.

1828
01:48:48.399 --> 01:48:50.079
I'll let you know when I'm really tired, and.

1829
01:48:51.600 --> 01:48:54.000
I doubt it. I will say that I admire your

1830
01:48:54.039 --> 01:48:56.680
devotion to duty. Thank you, mister fab It's good to

1831
01:48:56.720 --> 01:48:58.800
hear you say that. I want you to know that

1832
01:48:59.039 --> 01:49:01.520
I appreciate the opportunity of being with the firm for

1833
01:49:01.600 --> 01:49:05.479
twenty years or as a board of Breakfast meeting this afternoon.

1834
01:49:06.159 --> 01:49:08.239
I'm going to try to get you a rape. That's

1835
01:49:08.319 --> 01:49:11.079
all right. So whatever they decided to be for the best.

1836
01:49:11.199 --> 01:49:14.119
I wouldn't want the board to think I was dissatisfied.

1837
01:49:14.199 --> 01:49:17.600
Here forty three Herbert and alone, unmarried. That isn't right.

1838
01:49:17.960 --> 01:49:19.800
And you're not the type of man to tackle marriage

1839
01:49:19.840 --> 01:49:23.279
on your salary. Well, I've been thinking about it. I

1840
01:49:23.479 --> 01:49:27.119
have planned, I've saved a bit. I found the right woman.

1841
01:49:27.239 --> 01:49:29.840
I it was Faber. I may surprise you one of

1842
01:49:29.880 --> 01:49:33.840
these days. Up into my office after the board meeting,

1843
01:49:33.920 --> 01:49:36.199
may have some news for you. Make it around three.

1844
01:49:36.359 --> 01:49:36.640
Thank you.

1845
01:49:41.920 --> 01:49:46.159
Herbert sit at his desk, smiling. What complete confidence they

1846
01:49:46.199 --> 01:49:50.239
have in hire. What a perfect setup. Three thousand more

1847
01:49:50.279 --> 01:49:53.520
accountant for three more months, and I have reached my

1848
01:49:53.680 --> 01:49:57.880
goal fifty thousand and independent.

1849
01:49:57.199 --> 01:49:59.520
For life in South America.

1850
01:50:02.159 --> 01:50:05.560
With a move of sudden decision, Herbert slaps on his hat,

1851
01:50:05.760 --> 01:50:07.439
walks out of the bank, and pays a visit to

1852
01:50:07.479 --> 01:50:09.199
Hazel Yates at her apartment.

1853
01:50:09.560 --> 01:50:11.239
What are you doing away from the bank at this

1854
01:50:11.359 --> 01:50:12.560
hour of the day, Herbert.

1855
01:50:12.520 --> 01:50:14.399
I'm out to lunch. I thought i'd drop by.

1856
01:50:14.600 --> 01:50:17.199
Now that's nice. I'm certainly surprised.

1857
01:50:17.560 --> 01:50:22.920
Uh, Hazel, exactly three months from now, I'm going to

1858
01:50:23.000 --> 01:50:23.680
take a vacation.

1859
01:50:24.079 --> 01:50:27.239
You certainly need one. It's been ages since you've been

1860
01:50:27.279 --> 01:50:28.880
away from your work for more than a day.

1861
01:50:29.000 --> 01:50:31.239
Yes, I know, but I had to keep my nose

1862
01:50:31.319 --> 01:50:35.000
to the grindstone. But now it's different. What do you mean, Well,

1863
01:50:35.079 --> 01:50:36.960
I have kept it a secret, but now I can

1864
01:50:37.039 --> 01:50:39.920
tell you I'm going to get married.

1865
01:50:40.319 --> 01:50:40.640
Married.

1866
01:50:42.119 --> 01:50:44.439
You're going to get married, that's right.

1867
01:50:44.880 --> 01:50:48.840
Well, I thought you never considered married because you felt

1868
01:50:48.880 --> 01:50:50.039
you couldn't support a wife.

1869
01:50:50.279 --> 01:50:53.239
That's true. Now it's different. I didn't want to say anything.

1870
01:50:53.439 --> 01:50:58.439
I was sure, are you talking about, Hazel? For several

1871
01:50:58.520 --> 01:51:00.760
years now, I've been working on a prom a plan,

1872
01:51:00.880 --> 01:51:04.840
a plan that cannot fail because it's mathematically correct.

1873
01:51:05.359 --> 01:51:08.479
What I heard you frightened me.

1874
01:51:09.119 --> 01:51:11.279
It has to do with the stock market. I've worked

1875
01:51:11.319 --> 01:51:12.279
it over and over.

1876
01:51:12.159 --> 01:51:14.000
As the stock market gambling.

1877
01:51:14.079 --> 01:51:16.560
Oh no, not gambling, and not the way I worked

1878
01:51:16.560 --> 01:51:16.840
it out.

1879
01:51:16.920 --> 01:51:19.119
And lots of people have thought they'd found a secret

1880
01:51:19.159 --> 01:51:19.920
to playing the market.

1881
01:51:20.159 --> 01:51:22.920
And what happened, Well, this isn't a theoretical plan. This

1882
01:51:23.000 --> 01:51:25.680
has already worked, proven, already worked.

1883
01:51:25.760 --> 01:51:27.840
I set myself a goal and amount of money I

1884
01:51:27.920 --> 01:51:30.279
felt sufficient to live on in ease for the rest

1885
01:51:30.319 --> 01:51:30.840
of my life.

1886
01:51:31.000 --> 01:51:34.199
Fifty thousand dollars. Beyond that sum, I would not.

1887
01:51:34.239 --> 01:51:36.680
Attempt to go fifty thousand dollars.

1888
01:51:36.840 --> 01:51:39.119
I've placed every dime to youse, gotting to the plan,

1889
01:51:39.279 --> 01:51:40.279
and I've not missed one.

1890
01:51:40.960 --> 01:51:44.680
You mean you have fifty thousand dollars, Well, not quite,

1891
01:51:44.840 --> 01:51:48.439
but we'll have by the first of June. Well, I

1892
01:51:48.520 --> 01:51:52.760
can't get over it. It's very simple. I have got

1893
01:51:52.840 --> 01:51:55.920
three thousand goal and then I'm through three thousand.

1894
01:51:56.520 --> 01:51:59.479
Oh that frightens me. Her, But why don't you be

1895
01:51:59.560 --> 01:52:02.199
statisfied with what you have? You may lose it all

1896
01:52:02.239 --> 01:52:03.279
and trying to get the other.

1897
01:52:03.199 --> 01:52:05.960
Threat whole not a chance. I set myself for gold,

1898
01:52:06.000 --> 01:52:08.159
and I intend to reach it very well.

1899
01:52:08.279 --> 01:52:09.479
I hope you're right.

1900
01:52:10.960 --> 01:52:14.760
Then, I'm going on a long vacation. How long will

1901
01:52:14.800 --> 01:52:18.479
you get from next June on on and on from

1902
01:52:18.560 --> 01:52:19.000
June on?

1903
01:52:20.000 --> 01:52:20.640
How can you do that?

1904
01:52:20.880 --> 01:52:23.000
I'm not going to work another day? Why should I?

1905
01:52:23.079 --> 01:52:23.920
I'll be independent.

1906
01:52:24.119 --> 01:52:27.640
I'm going to quit, quit your job, yes, and take

1907
01:52:27.680 --> 01:52:30.680
a long trip to South America. I'm going to live there.

1908
01:52:31.439 --> 01:52:34.840
Fifty thousand. There's like two hundred thousand. Here, what more

1909
01:52:34.840 --> 01:52:35.439
of jazz for.

1910
01:52:36.199 --> 01:52:39.640
I see and you you're going to get married?

1911
01:52:39.800 --> 01:52:43.720
Yes, yes, I am. I haven't asked her yet. I'm confident.

1912
01:52:44.239 --> 01:52:45.640
Who is she?

1913
01:52:46.479 --> 01:52:47.000
Do I know her?

1914
01:52:47.439 --> 01:52:47.640
Yes?

1915
01:52:48.600 --> 01:52:49.319
She's wonderful.

1916
01:52:50.079 --> 01:52:53.760
Well alike. I wish you lots of happiness, Herbert.

1917
01:52:56.159 --> 01:52:57.920
Would you like to live in South America?

1918
01:52:58.000 --> 01:52:58.159
Has?

1919
01:53:00.239 --> 01:53:00.680
I would?

1920
01:53:01.319 --> 01:53:02.239
Then you and I will be.

1921
01:53:02.319 --> 01:53:06.359
Married first, Herbert, you mean you're asking me?

1922
01:53:06.840 --> 01:53:07.039
Yes.

1923
01:53:07.840 --> 01:53:09.479
I don't say a word, but this it's a secret.

1924
01:53:09.560 --> 01:53:10.199
Don't tell a soul.

1925
01:53:10.439 --> 01:53:15.000
Promise Yes, yes, sir, but I promise, Oh, darling, I

1926
01:53:15.119 --> 01:53:16.520
thought you were never going to ask him.

1927
01:53:16.600 --> 01:53:17.479
I want to surprise you.

1928
01:53:17.760 --> 01:53:19.720
I've never been so thrilled in my life.

1929
01:53:19.880 --> 01:53:21.720
I've got to run along now. I'll see you later

1930
01:53:21.920 --> 01:53:22.399
this evening.

1931
01:53:29.439 --> 01:53:33.880
Yes, everything is working perfectly for Herbert Lang. A ten

1932
01:53:33.960 --> 01:53:37.359
year plan just cannot fail a few months from now

1933
01:53:37.439 --> 01:53:42.560
and he will be independent. Hazel fifty thousand and South America.

1934
01:53:43.680 --> 01:53:45.800
After three Now, all the board meeting is over.

1935
01:53:46.239 --> 01:53:51.239
Herbert steps confidence there the President's office. Well, I see

1936
01:53:51.279 --> 01:53:52.399
the meetings over, mister favor.

1937
01:53:52.680 --> 01:53:57.439
Yes, let's come in. Herbert. Hey talking over with the board.

1938
01:53:58.720 --> 01:54:02.640
They didn't seem to agree with me. Oh, no, Ray, sorry, Herbert.

1939
01:54:03.039 --> 01:54:05.760
Board members are rather a cool group of individuals. That's

1940
01:54:05.800 --> 01:54:07.840
all right with favor. I've gotten used to it after

1941
01:54:07.880 --> 01:54:11.399
all these years. A very selfish loss whole lot of stock.

1942
01:54:11.600 --> 01:54:13.960
Someone else does the work. They draw big dividends, it's

1943
01:54:13.960 --> 01:54:17.199
all they're interested in. I hold stock too, Herbert. Oh,

1944
01:54:17.279 --> 01:54:19.800
I know, sir, But you take a more personal interest

1945
01:54:19.840 --> 01:54:25.239
in the employees, because well you're an active officer. Good. Well,

1946
01:54:25.560 --> 01:54:28.680
maybe they'll see their way clear next year. I certainly

1947
01:54:28.760 --> 01:54:31.359
not wanted to coming patient. No, Herbert, I'll run along

1948
01:54:31.439 --> 01:54:36.880
in just a minute. I haven't quite finished. I had

1949
01:54:36.920 --> 01:54:39.039
quite a session with the board the life of me.

1950
01:54:39.119 --> 01:54:41.640
I don't understand one of them what he means. They

1951
01:54:41.680 --> 01:54:43.680
were up in arms about that lady shortage, but.

1952
01:54:43.760 --> 01:54:44.640
I had nothing to do with that.

1953
01:54:45.199 --> 01:54:47.840
Did they think I tooked? No, No, certainly not. But

1954
01:54:48.439 --> 01:54:51.720
well they do think you were indirectly responsible. Brought up

1955
01:54:51.760 --> 01:54:53.439
the fact that the five men you've hired in the

1956
01:54:53.479 --> 01:54:55.560
past ten years have all been sent to the penitential.

1957
01:54:55.760 --> 01:54:57.920
How can I tell by looking at the man they

1958
01:54:57.960 --> 01:55:01.119
were all recommended? Hey, Board, you've been working to Herbert.

1959
01:55:01.439 --> 01:55:04.039
You need a rest. Have instructed me to give you

1960
01:55:04.079 --> 01:55:09.119
an extended vacation, extended vacation along indefinitely effective and two weeks.

1961
01:55:09.159 --> 01:55:10.760
Oh well, but that's impossible, mister Faber.

1962
01:55:10.840 --> 01:55:11.960
I just couldn't do that one.

1963
01:55:12.239 --> 01:55:13.800
I have a tremendous amount of special.

1964
01:55:13.560 --> 01:55:14.319
Work on the books.

1965
01:55:14.359 --> 01:55:16.600
I just couldn't attend to that in the next two weeks.

1966
01:55:16.680 --> 01:55:19.079
Board at first wanted your vacation to be effective tomorrow night.

1967
01:55:19.119 --> 01:55:21.479
But that's ridiculous. You know that, so who else here

1968
01:55:21.520 --> 01:55:23.520
could step in and take over in a moment's notice?

1969
01:55:23.840 --> 01:55:27.000
Of course that's true. Do you think it would straighten

1970
01:55:27.079 --> 01:55:29.279
things around two weeks if you had special assistance?

1971
01:55:29.319 --> 01:55:32.600
Special? Yes, but I won't need any help, sir.

1972
01:55:32.840 --> 01:55:35.079
I'll be able to handle myself as soon as you

1973
01:55:35.159 --> 01:55:38.079
finished take a nice long trip. You need a herbit

1974
01:55:39.000 --> 01:55:44.399
very well? Oh yes, By the way, Bard has voted

1975
01:55:44.399 --> 01:55:48.439
you a five hundred dollars bonus, have they? They only

1976
01:55:48.479 --> 01:55:51.760
give a bonus on retirement. Why don't you tell me

1977
01:55:51.800 --> 01:55:55.279
the truth, miss Favor, Sirry Herbert, that's where they feel.

1978
01:55:55.319 --> 01:55:57.840
Nothing I can do about it. Oh, you'll let me

1979
01:55:57.920 --> 01:55:59.119
hear from you from time to time.

1980
01:56:01.000 --> 01:56:06.239
Retired of forty three, well, good nights Favor.

1981
01:56:13.119 --> 01:56:17.359
The moment Herbert steps out of Paper's office. Fear, a strangling,

1982
01:56:17.479 --> 01:56:18.760
clutching fear grips him.

1983
01:56:19.000 --> 01:56:22.840
Two weeks. Two short weeks wasn't part of Herbert's plan.

1984
01:56:23.319 --> 01:56:24.720
This is something he hadn't counted on.

1985
01:56:25.319 --> 01:56:26.319
He's two thousand short.

1986
01:56:26.399 --> 01:56:27.560
It's fifty thousand golds.

1987
01:56:28.279 --> 01:56:29.760
He'll have to let it go at that and be.

1988
01:56:29.920 --> 01:56:32.720
Satisfied, and only two weeks to fix the books to

1989
01:56:32.760 --> 01:56:35.760
cover the new thousand dollars shortage. I can say he

1990
01:56:35.840 --> 01:56:39.359
works alone, works feverishly. Then on the tenth day, he

1991
01:56:39.439 --> 01:56:43.279
has accomplished his plan. The book's balance, everything is perfect.

1992
01:56:44.439 --> 01:56:47.239
Things worked out so I expected, Hazel. We didn't wait

1993
01:56:47.279 --> 01:56:49.239
till June. We can be married tomorrow and sale the

1994
01:56:49.279 --> 01:56:49.680
next day.

1995
01:56:49.680 --> 01:56:52.840
I've arranged passage so soon, Herbert, I thought we could

1996
01:56:52.880 --> 01:56:53.800
have a regular way.

1997
01:56:54.000 --> 01:56:56.279
No, no, I think you'd better leave now. Sooner the better.

1998
01:56:56.399 --> 01:57:14.279
You all right, Herbert, whatever you say, Yeah, I could evening.

1999
01:57:14.119 --> 01:57:17.479
Mister Evans. Anything you are, missus Evans wish, just press

2000
01:57:17.560 --> 01:57:19.840
the button. Thank you, Steward, I'll arrange for your deck

2001
01:57:19.960 --> 01:57:20.760
chairs in the morning.

2002
01:57:20.800 --> 01:57:22.600
Thank you, are You're welcome, mister Evans.

2003
01:57:24.439 --> 01:57:28.039
Why did he keep saying mister Evans? Ever does he

2004
01:57:28.119 --> 01:57:31.640
say Evans yes, mister and missus Evans.

2005
01:57:31.479 --> 01:57:34.680
Strange confused us to someone else. I'll put them straight

2006
01:57:34.720 --> 01:57:35.399
on that in the morning.

2007
01:57:36.039 --> 01:57:37.720
What did you do with the passport, Herbert?

2008
01:57:38.199 --> 01:57:39.840
Well, they're in my coat.

2009
01:57:40.279 --> 01:57:41.079
May I see mine?

2010
01:57:42.000 --> 01:57:44.560
Yes? Of course later we best get long to dinner.

2011
01:57:44.640 --> 01:57:44.720
Now.

2012
01:57:45.199 --> 01:57:47.560
I always thought a person had to appear and sign

2013
01:57:47.680 --> 01:57:49.439
his passport before an official.

2014
01:57:50.279 --> 01:57:51.439
No, No, not always.

2015
01:57:51.880 --> 01:57:53.399
Yeah, I see my passport, Herbert.

2016
01:57:54.399 --> 01:57:56.920
What's wrong with you, Hazel? Please Herbert, I'd like to

2017
01:57:56.960 --> 01:58:01.720
see it very well? You are Herbert.

2018
01:58:02.439 --> 01:58:04.640
Why are we traveling under the name of Evan.

2019
01:58:04.800 --> 01:58:06.439
It's better that way incognito.

2020
01:58:06.560 --> 01:58:09.079
You know how did you get this passport without my signing?

2021
01:58:09.159 --> 01:58:09.399
Part?

2022
01:58:10.079 --> 01:58:11.279
This isn't my signature.

2023
01:58:12.119 --> 01:58:13.800
Who signed that doesn't matter?

2024
01:58:13.880 --> 01:58:16.239
I got it. You better study that signature and be

2025
01:58:16.319 --> 01:58:20.840
able to copy it from you arrive in port. Don't worry, Darling,

2026
01:58:20.920 --> 01:58:22.279
It's done this way every day.

2027
01:58:22.479 --> 01:58:23.319
I don't believe you.

2028
01:58:23.920 --> 01:58:27.800
You're hiding from someone running from something that's silly. Fifty

2029
01:58:27.920 --> 01:58:30.159
thousand dollars the stock marketer.

2030
01:58:31.119 --> 01:58:32.039
What are you getting, Anne?

2031
01:58:32.399 --> 01:58:32.439
No?

2032
01:58:32.720 --> 01:58:34.840
I am suspicious, are you?

2033
01:58:34.960 --> 01:58:35.319
Hazel?

2034
01:58:35.560 --> 01:58:39.039
You stole that money stock market or you never need

2035
01:58:39.079 --> 01:58:39.600
a dime.

2036
01:58:39.439 --> 01:58:40.119
On a stock marker?

2037
01:58:40.760 --> 01:58:42.079
Being a bit silly, Hazel.

2038
01:58:42.279 --> 01:58:46.680
So this was your plan, a stone stealing from the

2039
01:58:46.760 --> 01:58:47.760
bank and blaming others.

2040
01:58:48.399 --> 01:58:50.800
That's what happened to my brother two years ago. That's

2041
01:58:50.880 --> 01:58:52.039
why he was sent to jail.

2042
01:58:53.359 --> 01:58:56.600
All right, Hazel, you're in this tool now, so I'll

2043
01:58:56.600 --> 01:58:58.720
tell you I did have a plan and it worked.

2044
01:58:59.439 --> 01:59:01.279
No one will ever be able to trace it to me,

2045
01:59:01.840 --> 01:59:04.600
and I'll take care of your brother later. I've sent

2046
01:59:04.680 --> 01:59:06.399
all the money to a man in Brazil, man I know.

2047
01:59:06.960 --> 01:59:09.720
Sent him several packages and asked him to hold them

2048
01:59:09.760 --> 01:59:12.920
pending my arrival. He doesn't know what's in them. What

2049
01:59:13.279 --> 01:59:16.560
man well, his name is Pedro Gonzalez, Big coffee plant

2050
01:59:16.600 --> 01:59:17.840
outside of Rio Degeneio.

2051
01:59:18.039 --> 01:59:22.079
I see you and I are the only ones who know, Hazel.

2052
01:59:22.479 --> 01:59:25.479
Supposing I tell what I know, you will be an accomplice,

2053
01:59:25.640 --> 01:59:26.880
but my brother will be cleared.

2054
01:59:27.720 --> 01:59:29.479
I told you your brother will be taken care of.

2055
01:59:29.760 --> 01:59:32.039
The Only way my brother can be compensated is to

2056
01:59:32.119 --> 01:59:33.399
be clear to the charge.

2057
01:59:34.439 --> 01:59:37.520
And I intend to clear him regardless of what happens.

2058
01:59:37.279 --> 01:59:41.279
To Mejeseus, you're being awfully silly about this last call

2059
01:59:41.319 --> 01:59:41.680
for dinner.

2060
01:59:41.720 --> 01:59:42.479
He will come along with me.

2061
01:59:42.640 --> 01:59:47.239
I don't want any dinner then let's step up on

2062
01:59:47.319 --> 01:59:50.439
the top deck. Let's just talk this over a lot

2063
01:59:50.479 --> 01:59:54.199
of things you don't understand, Hazels. I'm sure I can

2064
01:59:54.319 --> 01:59:55.920
explain things to your satisfaction.

2065
01:59:56.319 --> 01:59:57.960
I certainly need some fresh air.

2066
01:59:58.319 --> 02:00:01.319
I'm terribly sorry to have a set you like this, Hazel.

2067
02:00:13.399 --> 02:00:17.439
The passing liner flowers on through the darkness. The wind

2068
02:00:17.560 --> 02:00:20.079
sings mournfully through the masts and cables.

2069
02:00:20.800 --> 02:00:24.119
Herbert cannot see. Herbert's worried his plan worked.

2070
02:00:24.159 --> 02:00:24.920
It was perfect.

2071
02:00:25.199 --> 02:00:28.800
He'll never trace the money to him. But Hazel presents

2072
02:00:28.840 --> 02:00:33.520
another problem. It is morning now, nine am. Steward steps

2073
02:00:33.600 --> 02:00:34.760
up to Herbert's stateroom door.

2074
02:00:35.279 --> 02:00:37.479
But the days, well, why don't you look at this sensibly?

2075
02:00:37.840 --> 02:00:39.039
Isn't as though I've done a murder?

2076
02:00:39.079 --> 02:00:39.359
Why did it?

2077
02:00:39.479 --> 02:00:39.880
Answer?

2078
02:00:40.600 --> 02:00:42.960
You are the first woman who discovered something about her husband.

2079
02:00:43.520 --> 02:00:45.840
I made a mistake, and I'm sorry. It's done in

2080
02:00:45.960 --> 02:00:50.119
the past, and why not look forward to the future together? Yes,

2081
02:00:52.239 --> 02:00:52.760
you range?

2082
02:00:53.279 --> 02:00:56.800
Yeah, Well, my wife isn't feeling well this morning, Stewart. Oh,

2083
02:00:56.880 --> 02:00:59.319
I'm sorry. I'll have something sat down, darling.

2084
02:01:00.520 --> 02:01:02.600
Breakfast still being served, Stewards, Yes, sup, for a few

2085
02:01:02.640 --> 02:01:06.479
minute chat, then come along please, she'd better have something light,

2086
02:01:07.239 --> 02:01:10.039
grapefruit coffee and dry toast, yes, sir, And.

2087
02:01:10.439 --> 02:01:11.760
How about a softballed egg?

2088
02:01:12.119 --> 02:01:14.960
Well, is she seasick? No, no, she didn't see sick.

2089
02:01:15.039 --> 02:01:18.359
She just emotionally upset. You know you now a woman

2090
02:01:18.760 --> 02:01:22.399
gets sometime or nothing. Oh, yes, I know, so I

2091
02:01:22.520 --> 02:01:26.159
think an egg will be nice, very well. Grapefruit coffee,

2092
02:01:26.520 --> 02:01:30.239
toast dry, so dry, and an egg take about fifteen

2093
02:01:30.279 --> 02:01:32.760
minutes or so. Here's the coffee shop, so you'll get

2094
02:01:32.840 --> 02:01:36.720
quicker service here. Oh, thanks to and good luck sir.

2095
02:01:37.000 --> 02:01:38.880
Huh what do you means?

2096
02:01:38.960 --> 02:01:41.520
Well, I married myself, and I know how it is.

2097
02:01:41.920 --> 02:01:45.600
Women are just naturally suspicious creatures and jealous of everyone,

2098
02:01:45.960 --> 02:01:47.680
jealous of your past and your future.

2099
02:01:47.840 --> 02:01:51.600
I know how long have human marriage, sir? Not long.

2100
02:01:52.399 --> 02:01:53.680
Well she'll get over it.

2101
02:01:54.159 --> 02:01:54.600
Be sorry.

2102
02:01:55.840 --> 02:01:58.359
Well, I just couldn't help hitting when I came to

2103
02:01:58.399 --> 02:01:58.800
your door.

2104
02:01:58.960 --> 02:02:02.119
Just now you'll plud me. I better get my audience.

2105
02:02:02.199 --> 02:02:04.319
Oh yes, it's after night. By the way, if you're

2106
02:02:04.319 --> 02:02:06.520
in the mood, there'll be games and contests on the

2107
02:02:06.680 --> 02:02:10.760
after deck upside starting now. Horse races fifty cents a

2108
02:02:10.840 --> 02:02:11.920
ticket if you care to gamble.

2109
02:02:12.000 --> 02:02:13.560
I know, I know, but I don't gamble.

2110
02:02:13.720 --> 02:02:16.239
Oh, well, then you'll find plenty of other things to

2111
02:02:16.319 --> 02:02:17.479
keep your mind off your trouble.

2112
02:02:17.560 --> 02:02:18.279
See your latest.

2113
02:02:20.720 --> 02:02:24.880
Herbert steps into the coffee shop orders his breakfast. Try

2114
02:02:24.920 --> 02:02:27.760
as he might, he can't keep his mind off his troubles,

2115
02:02:28.319 --> 02:02:32.600
his troubles and Hazel. He ponders over the thousands of

2116
02:02:32.640 --> 02:02:36.000
dollars in the cork lined waterproof package hidden in his trunk.

2117
02:02:36.039 --> 02:02:39.319
In the state room, wonders if Pedro Gonzalez will meet

2118
02:02:39.359 --> 02:02:44.359
the ship outside the harbor as planned fifteen twenty minutes past.

2119
02:02:44.600 --> 02:02:49.359
Then, mister, mister heavns, yes, what is what's wrong with?

2120
02:02:49.520 --> 02:02:51.760
It's your wife, sir, it's your wife. What are you

2121
02:02:51.840 --> 02:02:54.039
trying to say? She is in the state room?

2122
02:02:54.079 --> 02:02:54.720
No sign of her.

2123
02:02:55.159 --> 02:02:56.760
She must have decided to walk around.

2124
02:02:56.800 --> 02:02:58.439
No, no, no, will you calm down?

2125
02:02:58.479 --> 02:03:00.600
Please look look at this I found on the dressing

2126
02:03:00.680 --> 02:03:02.039
table from the time.

2127
02:03:02.800 --> 02:03:06.640
It must have just happened, so it says nine ten Am, Herbert.

2128
02:03:06.760 --> 02:03:10.840
I cannot reconcile myself to such a situation. The very

2129
02:03:11.000 --> 02:03:13.079
thought of being married to such a man as you

2130
02:03:14.079 --> 02:03:16.880
sickens me to the depth of my soul. I can't

2131
02:03:16.960 --> 02:03:20.520
go on, and don't think you will escape punishment for

2132
02:03:20.600 --> 02:03:24.800
the suffering you've caused goodbye table.

2133
02:03:25.039 --> 02:03:27.600
He's jumped over at nine ten, just twelve minutes.

2134
02:03:28.359 --> 02:03:29.039
A little fool.

2135
02:03:29.560 --> 02:03:32.199
I'm hould the bridge, Give me the bridge, chewing out

2136
02:03:32.199 --> 02:03:35.319
of my mind. Bridge stop ship Marion overboard.

2137
02:03:43.039 --> 02:03:44.800
The ship leans over and puts about.

2138
02:03:45.199 --> 02:03:48.640
They scour the toppy seas for over an hour, circling

2139
02:03:48.800 --> 02:03:53.039
and circling. Herbert stands beside the captain, gring wild eyed

2140
02:03:53.079 --> 02:03:55.159
into the water. Ily.

2141
02:03:55.319 --> 02:03:58.399
The captain gives up home, orders the ship resume its course,

2142
02:03:58.720 --> 02:04:00.560
and invites Herbert to his quarters.

2143
02:04:02.079 --> 02:04:06.000
Sit down, mister Evans, I mean Stuart. Yes, sir, well,

2144
02:04:06.119 --> 02:04:08.439
we've certainly done our best, mister Evans, no one can

2145
02:04:08.520 --> 02:04:10.359
deny that, as Captain and I no one, and I

2146
02:04:10.479 --> 02:04:13.880
appreciate your efforts. But she is very sharpy. It would

2147
02:04:13.880 --> 02:04:15.920
be hard to find anyone, as you know. We'll have

2148
02:04:16.000 --> 02:04:18.720
to ask a few questions. Yes, as I understand, this

2149
02:04:18.920 --> 02:04:22.079
note was written by your wife at nine ten this morning. Yes,

2150
02:04:22.439 --> 02:04:25.520
do you recognize it as her writing? Of course it's hers,

2151
02:04:25.520 --> 02:04:28.680
all right, Captain. I checked with her passports. Mister Evans,

2152
02:04:29.039 --> 02:04:30.159
how long have you been married?

2153
02:04:30.800 --> 02:04:33.039
Just a few days. We were on our honeymoon.

2154
02:04:33.239 --> 02:04:35.479
The tone of this note indicates that your wife was

2155
02:04:35.560 --> 02:04:37.920
terribly upset about something she had discovered.

2156
02:04:38.199 --> 02:04:40.760
That's right. I tried to reason with her, but she

2157
02:04:40.880 --> 02:04:43.159
refused to see my side. I guess what was she

2158
02:04:43.319 --> 02:04:44.279
referring to in a note?

2159
02:04:44.399 --> 02:04:45.039
I can answer that.

2160
02:04:45.119 --> 02:04:48.479
I'm not asking you, Stewart. What was she referring to,

2161
02:04:48.600 --> 02:04:49.159
mister Evans.

2162
02:04:50.560 --> 02:04:54.079
She was referring to another woman she'd found out about

2163
02:04:54.079 --> 02:04:55.880
another woman, a woman I'd knowed.

2164
02:04:55.760 --> 02:04:58.479
Previous to our marriage. Did your wife threaten you? No?

2165
02:04:58.800 --> 02:05:02.560
Did you threaten her? When did you see her last? Well?

2166
02:05:03.319 --> 02:05:05.600
It was at nine o'clock this morning. She was so

2167
02:05:05.720 --> 02:05:07.960
upset she didn't want to go up to breakfast. I

2168
02:05:08.279 --> 02:05:10.680
decided to go alone. I rang with the steward to

2169
02:05:10.680 --> 02:05:13.079
bring us something to the room. That right, steward, Yes, sir.

2170
02:05:13.520 --> 02:05:15.600
After the steward left, did you go on dick with

2171
02:05:15.680 --> 02:05:16.079
your wife?

2172
02:05:16.680 --> 02:05:16.720
No?

2173
02:05:16.880 --> 02:05:19.199
I left with the steward went to the coffee shop.

2174
02:05:19.720 --> 02:05:21.800
That's where the steward found me and showed me the nose.

2175
02:05:21.920 --> 02:05:22.079
Yes.

2176
02:05:22.640 --> 02:05:25.000
As I stepped up to the stateroom to answer the call,

2177
02:05:25.039 --> 02:05:27.800
I heard the Margarine. I heard mister Evans asking us

2178
02:05:27.840 --> 02:05:30.960
forget about the past and think of the futures. And

2179
02:05:31.079 --> 02:05:33.560
he told her he'd have me bring something down him

2180
02:05:33.560 --> 02:05:35.199
and me walked along the corner door up to the

2181
02:05:35.239 --> 02:05:35.840
coffee shop.

2182
02:05:36.359 --> 02:05:37.880
He told me what to bring her and I got it.

2183
02:05:37.960 --> 02:05:39.079
When I returned to the room.

2184
02:05:38.960 --> 02:05:41.399
She wasn't there. I found a note on the table

2185
02:05:41.479 --> 02:05:43.960
and rang for mister Evans, and I found the bride.

2186
02:05:43.960 --> 02:05:46.479
And you didn't feed the coffee shop Evans. I did

2187
02:05:46.680 --> 02:05:49.800
not ask the coffee shop steward. Are you trying to

2188
02:05:49.840 --> 02:05:52.319
in further? I pushed my wife and money not. We

2189
02:05:52.600 --> 02:05:55.239
just want all the facts. We're on the high seage,

2190
02:05:55.279 --> 02:05:59.960
you know. And this represents a court of inquiry, coroner's jury.

2191
02:06:00.079 --> 02:06:00.640
Sure to speak.

2192
02:06:01.560 --> 02:06:05.840
I see, mister Goodman, my first officer here, the ship's doctor,

2193
02:06:05.960 --> 02:06:07.079
and I will make a decision.

2194
02:06:08.079 --> 02:06:09.640
What's your opinion, gentlemen.

2195
02:06:09.600 --> 02:06:12.520
According to the Stuart statement and the note, I'd say suicide.

2196
02:06:12.680 --> 02:06:15.920
Mine is the same opinion. Very well, I agree with you.

2197
02:06:16.840 --> 02:06:21.359
It's quite obvious that she committed suicide. Enter the findings

2198
02:06:21.399 --> 02:06:24.359
in that manner, mister Goodman. Yes, sir, I'm very sorry

2199
02:06:24.399 --> 02:06:37.720
about this. Mister Evans. Please accept my condolences. That'll be all, gentlemen, and.

2200
02:06:37.960 --> 02:06:41.920
So Herbert very sad, far less worried goes back with

2201
02:06:42.039 --> 02:06:46.399
stateroom to think. Ten days later, the sleek liner checks

2202
02:06:46.439 --> 02:06:49.359
speed and prepares to stand off outside Rio de Janeiro,

2203
02:06:49.920 --> 02:06:51.640
awaiting the arrival of the pilot.

2204
02:06:52.680 --> 02:06:55.479
Dusk has fallen. The ship barely creeps along.

2205
02:06:56.079 --> 02:06:58.800
Herbert stands at the aft port rail a package in

2206
02:06:58.880 --> 02:07:02.399
his hand, a cork line waterproof package. Many small boats

2207
02:07:02.439 --> 02:07:05.359
bob about on the surface, moving at a snail's pace.

2208
02:07:06.479 --> 02:07:09.359
The first officer moves forward. Herbert speaks to him.

2209
02:07:10.439 --> 02:07:11.680
Why are we stopping out here?

2210
02:07:12.000 --> 02:07:13.720
We always stop at this first light to wait for

2211
02:07:13.760 --> 02:07:14.439
the harbor pilot.

2212
02:07:15.279 --> 02:07:16.439
How much longer before we get in?

2213
02:07:16.800 --> 02:07:19.560
Oh we'll tie up in about an hour. Stand here

2214
02:07:19.600 --> 02:07:21.960
for about ten minutes. Pilot's on his way out.

2215
02:07:22.000 --> 02:07:22.119
Now.

2216
02:07:22.399 --> 02:07:25.800
I see what's the name of this first light here?

2217
02:07:26.159 --> 02:07:27.680
Well, it's called the Cordoba Light.

2218
02:07:28.199 --> 02:07:28.520
Thank you.

2219
02:07:29.000 --> 02:07:30.640
Why don't you come up forward? There's nothing to see

2220
02:07:30.680 --> 02:07:33.600
from back here. All the excitement will be up ahead. Yeah,

2221
02:07:33.760 --> 02:07:34.720
I'll go there in a moment.

2222
02:07:35.439 --> 02:07:36.640
What's that you have there? Huh?

2223
02:07:37.279 --> 02:07:38.760
Oh for this camera?

2224
02:07:39.159 --> 02:07:39.199
No?

2225
02:07:39.680 --> 02:07:43.159
No, it's some manuscripts of Why are the oil skin wrapping?

2226
02:07:43.520 --> 02:07:44.560
Do you think we might go down?

2227
02:07:45.239 --> 02:07:49.479
No? I well, I guess I am a little superstitious.

2228
02:07:50.199 --> 02:07:54.720
After all, we we did sail on Friday the thirteen. Well,

2229
02:07:54.800 --> 02:07:55.640
i'll see you up for it.

2230
02:08:01.399 --> 02:08:04.039
The ship comes to a dead stop and Herbert peers

2231
02:08:04.119 --> 02:08:05.199
over the port rail.

2232
02:08:05.000 --> 02:08:05.600
Into the dust.

2233
02:08:06.119 --> 02:08:10.000
He scrutinizes each small craft, waiting, watching for the signal.

2234
02:08:10.279 --> 02:08:15.000
It's the signal from Pedro Gonzalez. Then, after several minutes,

2235
02:08:15.239 --> 02:08:18.640
a tiny launch approaches the ship very slowly, and just

2236
02:08:18.760 --> 02:08:21.199
as it reaches the port quarter, a tiny red light

2237
02:08:21.279 --> 02:08:24.039
flashes on and off. Herbert cuts his hands around his

2238
02:08:24.159 --> 02:08:26.279
eyes and focuses on the one man in.

2239
02:08:26.319 --> 02:08:26.880
The little boat.

2240
02:08:27.560 --> 02:08:30.199
Light signals again, Pedro gunsness.

2241
02:08:30.800 --> 02:08:33.159
Herbert looks up and down the deck, grabs a little

2242
02:08:33.159 --> 02:08:36.560
flash lamp from his pocket, and gives the answering signal. Suddenly,

2243
02:08:36.600 --> 02:08:38.159
with a swing of his arm, he tosses the water

2244
02:08:38.199 --> 02:08:39.439
through package down to the water.

2245
02:08:45.720 --> 02:08:47.720
He's gone, good work, Pedrol.

2246
02:08:51.279 --> 02:08:54.199
The man grabs the package and the little launch moves

2247
02:08:54.239 --> 02:08:57.039
away and heads up the coast. As the liner churns

2248
02:08:57.119 --> 02:09:01.000
off up the harbor, Herbert smiles a smile of relief

2249
02:09:01.359 --> 02:09:10.760
and steps briskly with self satisfaction towards the bow. And now,

2250
02:09:11.039 --> 02:09:14.359
three hours after docking, Herbert waits in a little water done.

2251
02:09:14.439 --> 02:09:18.479
Cafe waits impatiently for Pedro Gonzalez to keep the rendezvous,

2252
02:09:19.039 --> 02:09:22.159
but Pedro is already an hour late, and Herbert has

2253
02:09:22.239 --> 02:09:23.079
begun to worry.

2254
02:09:27.319 --> 02:09:31.399
I would like more wine, Senor, Oh, oh yes, please,

2255
02:09:31.560 --> 02:09:34.920
I'll have another wine, Pedro? Are you all right?

2256
02:09:36.359 --> 02:09:41.439
Pedro? Can you hear me? Pedro Caedo? Tell me?

2257
02:09:42.279 --> 02:09:43.159
Tell me it's from me?

2258
02:09:43.239 --> 02:09:47.640
Where is it? You've got to tell me the money, Pedro,

2259
02:09:48.560 --> 02:09:49.640
where did you bury the money?

2260
02:09:50.760 --> 02:09:52.880
You can't, you can't die.

2261
02:09:52.920 --> 02:09:53.720
You've got to tell me.

2262
02:10:02.159 --> 02:10:06.319
But poor Pedro was dead, quite dead, and with him

2263
02:10:06.359 --> 02:10:09.800
died the hopes, the plans, the twenty year plan of

2264
02:10:09.840 --> 02:10:14.720
Herbert Lang, the perfect crime that ended in failure. Herbert

2265
02:10:14.880 --> 02:10:17.520
was a thief, but worse still, he followed it up

2266
02:10:17.560 --> 02:10:21.640
with murder. Oh yes, Herbert killed Hazel, choked her, and

2267
02:10:21.840 --> 02:10:24.359
threw her over the first night out. She wasn't in

2268
02:10:24.439 --> 02:10:25.920
the room that following morning.

2269
02:10:26.319 --> 02:10:30.119
The steward only thought she was, and Herbert himself forged

2270
02:10:30.159 --> 02:10:34.800
the suicide note. For two years now, a thin, emaciated,

2271
02:10:34.880 --> 02:10:38.359
glassy eyed figure has been wandering around a Brazilian beach,

2272
02:10:38.720 --> 02:10:42.159
digging holes in the sand. No one knows why, and

2273
02:10:42.279 --> 02:10:47.439
no one cares, just another simple minded derelict, and poor

2274
02:10:47.600 --> 02:10:51.640
Herbert Lang will go on digging for a long long time.

2275
02:10:53.039 --> 02:10:53.760
I know.

2276
02:11:19.399 --> 02:11:24.680
Well, my dear, the evening has lost its battle against

2277
02:11:24.800 --> 02:11:29.880
the oppression of the sun once again. Soon it will

2278
02:11:29.920 --> 02:11:33.439
be day. You'll need to return to your home and

2279
02:11:33.640 --> 02:11:38.239
me to where it is I come from. But I

2280
02:11:38.399 --> 02:11:42.760
do hope i'll see you back here again. I'll be waiting,

2281
02:11:43.760 --> 02:11:50.920
same time, same place, happy to have you. But if

2282
02:11:51.000 --> 02:11:55.479
I may ask one more favor of you when you

2283
02:11:55.640 --> 02:11:59.199
make your way home, when you go across the darkened

2284
02:11:59.279 --> 02:12:02.880
streets and the moonlit trails, and as you lay your

2285
02:12:03.000 --> 02:12:08.520
head and blink away the day, take one moment before

2286
02:12:08.640 --> 02:12:13.760
you sleep and be thankful for what you have. And

2287
02:12:14.000 --> 02:12:16.199
I'll be seeing you soon
