00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:13.919
Ah, my dear, so good to see you back. Oh
2
00:00:13.960 --> 00:00:19.280
what's that well, of course, of course, please please have
3
00:00:19.359 --> 00:00:24.960
a seat by the fire. I know it's warm out there,
4
00:00:25.039 --> 00:00:29.120
but at night the chill still cuts through the flesh
5
00:00:29.160 --> 00:00:35.920
straight to the bone. So enjoy warming yourself as we
6
00:00:36.079 --> 00:00:42.920
find something chilly to enjoy. I'll have the tea steeping.
7
00:00:43.799 --> 00:00:51.799
While this story begins to simmer on its own, well,
8
00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:57.439
just kick back and relax. After all, if you have
9
00:00:57.560 --> 00:01:03.679
any anxiety in you, at least you aren't The Girls
10
00:01:04.359 --> 00:01:14.280
who Found Things.
11
00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:23.959
Come in.
12
00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:29.239
Welcome him e g.
13
00:01:29.480 --> 00:01:29.920
Marshall.
14
00:01:31.560 --> 00:01:36.920
Welcome to the sound of suspense. Welcome to the fear
15
00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:43.719
you can hear, but mostly to the world of terrifying imagination.
16
00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:48.719
In the next fifty two minutes, you hear a story
17
00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:53.480
about a girl with a most unusual talent, a talent
18
00:01:53.640 --> 00:02:00.480
for finding lost dolls or dead bodies. May not be
19
00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:04.359
glad you met Iris Lloyd, but we don't think you'll
20
00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:05.439
forget her and.
21
00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:11.960
Faith and faint. I'm here, I'm here, Come and find me.
22
00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:14.280
Where are you house?
23
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:16.879
My poor dolly?
24
00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:19.159
Where held me?
25
00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:20.599
Help me?
26
00:02:21.479 --> 00:02:30.199
It's a dark and I'm afraid.
27
00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:36.479
And our mystery drama, The Girl who Found Things was
28
00:02:36.520 --> 00:02:40.400
written especially for the Mystery theater by Henry Slesser and
29
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:43.639
stars Norman Rose. It is sponsored in part by the
30
00:02:43.719 --> 00:02:48.039
Kellogg Company, makers of Kellogg's special k cereal, and by
31
00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:52.800
Anheuser Busch Incorporated, brewers of Budweiser. I'll be back shortly
32
00:02:53.400 --> 00:03:08.520
with that one on you, and now Act one of
33
00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:14.360
the girl who found things. It begins serenely enough in
34
00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:18.319
the pleasant little town of Medvale, but with a woman
35
00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:21.599
who is preparing to leave it just as soon as
36
00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:22.759
her taxi arrives.
37
00:03:24.879 --> 00:03:26.759
Come in, Lucas, the day is apen.
38
00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:30.319
Oh, for heaven's sake, that man's death.
39
00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:35.800
Oh, abram As, will there? I hope I'm not too early.
40
00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:38.280
No, I'm all packed. You can take that trunk in
41
00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:41.039
the hallway first. Then I've got a few small suitcases,
42
00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:42.560
but they can go on the back seat with me.
43
00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:46.680
As ma'am. That all you're taking the Europe I.
44
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:50.479
Sent the rest ahead to the ships. Well, go on, Lucas,
45
00:03:50.759 --> 00:03:52.039
start loading that taxi.
46
00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:56.319
Yes, ma'am, Yeah, I was just wondering if there is
47
00:03:56.400 --> 00:03:59.039
something you wanted me to do in the house for
48
00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:00.280
closing up.
49
00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:02.759
You know it's all been done, Lucas.
50
00:04:03.039 --> 00:04:05.120
You're sure you turned off the gas.
51
00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:09.719
Let this be How about the fireplace I see ahead
52
00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:11.080
of fires morning?
53
00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:12.680
Are you sure it's good and cold?
54
00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:13.199
Oh?
55
00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:15.639
I suppose you could check it again, just in case.
56
00:04:15.919 --> 00:04:22.040
Better received than sorry, they say. Seems to me you
57
00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:25.399
got a couple of embers burning there and maybe I
58
00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:26.639
could put them out.
59
00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:30.800
For the shovel please, sorry, Lucas, Yes, ma'am.
60
00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:34.040
I'm going about this as fast as I can.
61
00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:40.839
Yeah, you see this isn't easy for me.
62
00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:45.279
That isn't Look at seven stakes. Put the shovel back.
63
00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:47.600
You're tracking ashes all over the floor.
64
00:04:47.959 --> 00:04:51.879
Please please turn around, Miss Wheeler.
65
00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:55.800
Don't look at me, Lucas, are you crazy?
66
00:04:55.959 --> 00:04:58.279
I can't do this if you're looking at.
67
00:04:58.160 --> 00:04:59.800
Me, look at put that down.
68
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:02.120
I'm sorry, Miss we are.
69
00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:11.120
Had to do it. Misswearing, I had.
70
00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:21.519
Nae pick you up, take you outside for the woods.
71
00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:28.480
That's when I got to bury miss.
72
00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:40.319
How much? Father David? We've been driving for.
73
00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:42.720
All almost their darling, Just relaxed.
74
00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:45.680
Tell me more about your aunt's face. I don't really
75
00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:46.839
feel prepared to meet her.
76
00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:49.680
No one's ever fully prepared for ant's face. I warn
77
00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:51.680
you that she's something of a character.
78
00:05:51.800 --> 00:05:54.240
Just waiting to be discovered by Monthly Digest.
79
00:05:54.600 --> 00:05:57.399
Anyway, after my mother died, she became less fancy and
80
00:05:57.439 --> 00:05:58.040
more motherly.
81
00:05:58.199 --> 00:06:00.000
That's why she was so upset when I got married
82
00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:02.079
Aid and failed to do my filial duty.
83
00:06:01.959 --> 00:06:05.199
By bringing your bride home for approval something like that.
84
00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:07.600
I suppose she's going to resent me for being two
85
00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:08.399
years too late.
86
00:06:08.519 --> 00:06:10.680
I'll take my word for it. She'll be crazy about you.
87
00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:14.160
But remember what I said, she's an old gypsy. Don't
88
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:16.600
be surprised if she dragged out a crystal ball and
89
00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:20.079
starts predicting your future. Speaking of which, there's our future
90
00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:21.959
for the next few months, straight ahead of us the
91
00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:23.079
old homestead.
92
00:06:26.439 --> 00:06:28.680
David, is that yours doesn't raid?
93
00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:34.680
David handsome and oh, I'm so glad to see you.
94
00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:39.000
It's wonderful seeing you of faith. Meet Rowena, well, and
95
00:06:39.160 --> 00:06:40.040
it's about time.
96
00:06:40.160 --> 00:06:44.399
Hello missus Demers. Nice to meet you at last. Oh, David,
97
00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:49.240
she's beautiful. Come inside, Come in, I've got a fire going.
98
00:06:52.879 --> 00:06:54.120
Let me take your coat.
99
00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:54.360
My dear.
100
00:06:55.480 --> 00:06:57.040
Oh what a lovely fern.
101
00:06:57.560 --> 00:06:58.040
What is it?
102
00:06:58.160 --> 00:06:59.079
Link sable?
103
00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:01.279
I told her Weena she ought to wear the label
104
00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:04.959
on the outside of the people. Oh, well, I didn't
105
00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:07.639
know you had company at Oh, yes.
106
00:07:07.920 --> 00:07:11.720
This is Lieutenant Reese, Lieutenant. This is my nephew, David
107
00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:13.319
Wheeler and his wife Rowena.
108
00:07:14.120 --> 00:07:14.600
Lieutenant.
109
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:18.240
That isn't a military title, isn't it now, sir, I'm
110
00:07:18.279 --> 00:07:19.480
with the police.
111
00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:20.519
Of course. Well how do you do?
112
00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:22.240
I'm sorry we have.
113
00:07:22.199 --> 00:07:24.560
To meet this way, but then I always seem to
114
00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:25.920
meet people when they're in trouble.
115
00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:28.839
Of course, I've known missus DeMars for some time.
116
00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:31.360
Or Lieutenant Reese has been a wonderful help of my
117
00:07:31.439 --> 00:07:34.959
charity work, David, and he's been such a comfort since
118
00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:37.639
this awful thing happened.
119
00:07:37.800 --> 00:07:42.199
Yes, ah, well it's been years since I was in
120
00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:42.680
this room.
121
00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:45.959
I'd appreciate it if you and I could have a
122
00:07:45.959 --> 00:07:47.240
word alone.
123
00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:49.680
Rowena, I'll tell you what. Why don't you and I
124
00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:51.920
go upstairs and I'll show you your room? Yes, that
125
00:07:51.959 --> 00:07:54.480
would be fun. I can even show you the room
126
00:07:54.519 --> 00:07:57.439
where David was born and his old nursery.
127
00:07:59.480 --> 00:08:04.360
Well how long has it been since you left Medvale,
128
00:08:04.399 --> 00:08:05.000
mister Wheeler?
129
00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:06.399
Oh? Maybe ten years.
130
00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:09.480
I've been back here on visits, of course, once when
131
00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:12.079
my father died four years ago. As you know, our
132
00:08:12.120 --> 00:08:14.839
family businesses down south. Yes, yes, I now you and
133
00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:19.560
your sister, my half sister. Yes, you and your half sister, Geraldine,
134
00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:23.079
you were the only proprietors of the mill, weren't you.
135
00:08:23.480 --> 00:08:25.839
That's right, But you did most of the managing.
136
00:08:25.959 --> 00:08:26.319
I got it.
137
00:08:27.519 --> 00:08:30.639
When your parents died, Miss Wheeler kept the estate and
138
00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:33.279
you went to Virginia to manage the mill. That's how
139
00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:38.159
it was right, That's how it was successfully. Would you say, Lieutenant,
140
00:08:38.159 --> 00:08:40.159
I'm going to save you a great deal of time.
141
00:08:40.960 --> 00:08:44.559
Geraldine and I didn't get along. We saw as little
142
00:08:44.600 --> 00:08:46.480
of each other as we both could arrange, and that
143
00:08:46.679 --> 00:08:47.440
was very little.
144
00:08:47.919 --> 00:08:49.200
Thank you for being frank.
145
00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:52.240
I could even guess your next question, Lieutenant. You'd like
146
00:08:52.279 --> 00:08:55.120
to know when I saw Geraldine last?
147
00:08:55.559 --> 00:08:56.159
When did you?
148
00:08:56.600 --> 00:08:59.960
Three months ago in Virginia on her semi annual.
149
00:08:59.720 --> 00:09:00.399
Visit of the mill.
150
00:09:00.960 --> 00:09:04.159
But you were in Medvale after that, weren't you. But yes,
151
00:09:04.240 --> 00:09:06.039
I came up to see Geraldine in March on a
152
00:09:06.039 --> 00:09:09.120
business matter. As my aunt may have told you. Geraldine
153
00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:12.759
refused to see me. And what sort of business matter
154
00:09:12.960 --> 00:09:16.039
was it? I wanted Geraldine to approve a bank loan
155
00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:17.919
I wished to make to purchase new equipment.
156
00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:21.399
She was against it. Wouldn't even discuss it. So I
157
00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:25.200
went home and you never saw her again. Never.
158
00:09:25.840 --> 00:09:29.360
And in case you're wondering, Lieutenant, I have no idea
159
00:09:29.440 --> 00:09:32.320
where she is, no idea at all.
160
00:09:40.799 --> 00:09:43.559
Sure you don't want to tea Rowena, No, thank you,
161
00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:45.399
Aunt Faith I'll stick to Scott.
162
00:09:45.480 --> 00:09:48.159
I have some tea, darling. And he wants to read
163
00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:49.399
your future in the leaves.
164
00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:54.080
I wish I could read the future rather the past.
165
00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:55.360
You're thinking about Geraldine.
166
00:09:55.440 --> 00:09:58.080
I simply can't understand what became of it, David. So
167
00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:00.399
she was all set for that trip to Europe. Some
168
00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:03.879
of her bag were already on the ship. You remember Lucas,
169
00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:07.159
the taxi driver. He came out here to pick her up,
170
00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:10.879
take her to the station. But she wasn't here. She
171
00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:11.720
wasn't anywhere.
172
00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:15.120
Well, I suppose the police checked all the usual sources.
173
00:10:14.840 --> 00:10:19.080
Hospital molds, everywhere. That Lieutenant Reese said. Anything could have
174
00:10:19.080 --> 00:10:21.320
happened to her. She might have been robbed and murdered,
175
00:10:21.360 --> 00:10:23.919
she might have lost her memory, she might even have
176
00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:27.279
well this I'd never believed, but Lieutenant Reese said she
177
00:10:27.799 --> 00:10:31.320
might have disappeared deliberately with some man. I know what
178
00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:35.440
happened to her, William. She just left, She just walked
179
00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:39.080
out of this big, gloomy house and this crawy little town.
180
00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:42.720
She was sick of living alone. David, I have an
181
00:10:42.759 --> 00:10:47.399
idea about how we can find Geraldine. Really, I'm going
182
00:10:47.440 --> 00:10:49.879
to ask Iris Lloyd where Geraldine is?
183
00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:51.240
Ask whom?
184
00:10:51.480 --> 00:10:54.759
Iris Lloyd. Don't tell me you've never heard of the child,
185
00:10:55.279 --> 00:10:56.919
for there was a story in the papers about her
186
00:10:56.919 --> 00:10:59.600
only two months ago, and heaven knows, I've mentioned her
187
00:10:59.639 --> 00:11:01.120
in my le there's a dozen times.
188
00:11:01.159 --> 00:11:01.960
I remember.
189
00:11:02.399 --> 00:11:05.679
She's the one who's psychic or something, some sort of orphan. Yes,
190
00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:08.720
Iris is a ward of the state, a resident at
191
00:11:08.759 --> 00:11:12.240
the Medvale Home for Girls. I've been vice chairman of
192
00:11:12.240 --> 00:11:14.320
the place for dumpy years. That's how I know her.
193
00:11:14.759 --> 00:11:18.080
But she's sixteen, David. Absolutely uncanny.
194
00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:19.840
And what makes her such a phenomenon.
195
00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:23.919
She's a fear David, A genuine clairvoyance of not.
196
00:11:23.919 --> 00:11:25.120
A medium at sixteen.
197
00:11:25.279 --> 00:11:28.080
Oh no, I suppose you could call her a finder.
198
00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:31.480
She seems to have the ability to find things that
199
00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:35.440
are lost people too. How does she do it? I'm
200
00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:39.240
not sure Iris knows herself. The gift hasn't made the
201
00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:43.360
poor child happy. Such talents rarely, do you know. One
202
00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:46.559
day the home had a picnic at Compton Lake, they
203
00:11:46.600 --> 00:11:49.919
discovered an eight year old named Dorothea was missing. They
204
00:11:49.919 --> 00:11:54.039
couldn't find her until Iras Lloyd began screaming. Screaming, these
205
00:11:54.080 --> 00:11:56.919
insights cause a great pain. But she was able to
206
00:11:56.960 --> 00:12:00.360
describe the place where Dorothea could be found. The girl
207
00:12:00.360 --> 00:12:01.360
had sprained her ankle.
208
00:12:01.399 --> 00:12:03.879
Oh, you're right, Andy, Darling. I don't agree with you.
209
00:12:03.960 --> 00:12:05.879
Let's just leave the search to the police.
210
00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:10.000
David, David, I've arranged with the home for Iris to
211
00:12:10.200 --> 00:12:11.320
spend some time with us.
212
00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:14.720
Are you serious you invited that girl here?
213
00:12:14.840 --> 00:12:17.960
Well, she has to become acquainted with Geraldine's aura. Don't
214
00:12:17.960 --> 00:12:20.360
you see the awe that's still in this house.
215
00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:23.559
I won't have it. I'm sorry, Annie, but the whole
216
00:12:23.600 --> 00:12:24.360
thing's ridiculous.
217
00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:26.320
Oh. I knew you would object, David, but I'm afraid
218
00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:29.279
I have to insist. We're picking up the girl this afternoon.
219
00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:32.480
Really, now, I say, you understand.
220
00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:37.320
My dear, don't you. Yes, I understand, missus, and I'm
221
00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:39.919
looking forward to meeting Iris.
222
00:12:40.039 --> 00:12:40.399
Lloyd.
223
00:12:49.120 --> 00:12:52.519
Please come in, miss I suppose this is the nephew
224
00:12:52.600 --> 00:12:53.320
you told me about it.
225
00:12:53.480 --> 00:12:56.919
Yes, sister, this is mister David Wheeler. David, this is
226
00:12:57.000 --> 00:12:58.879
sister Clotilde who runs the home.
227
00:12:59.080 --> 00:13:00.679
How do you do, sister? How do you do?
228
00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:04.519
In case your aunt hasn't told you, mister Wheeler, I'm
229
00:13:04.519 --> 00:13:07.200
not at all in favor of this move. I think
230
00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:10.679
it's wrong to encourage Iris in its delusion of her.
231
00:13:10.919 --> 00:13:12.799
Well, when you and I agree with each other, Sister,
232
00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:16.120
it's not a delusion, Sister Totild, it's a gift from God.
233
00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:19.639
She is undisciplined, you might even say wild, but you
234
00:13:19.919 --> 00:13:22.720
are letting us have her, sister, she can come home
235
00:13:22.759 --> 00:13:25.960
with us. Did you think my poor objections carry any weight,
236
00:13:26.120 --> 00:13:31.360
Missus Demrist? One moment, Sister Pauline, would you send Iris
237
00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:31.799
Lloyd in?
238
00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:35.080
Now?
239
00:13:36.519 --> 00:13:37.279
Shall I come in?
240
00:13:37.600 --> 00:13:43.879
Yes? Iras come in. Iris. You know, Missus Demerist, this
241
00:13:44.039 --> 00:13:47.799
is her nephew, mister Wheeler. Hello, hell you remember me.
242
00:13:47.919 --> 00:13:50.159
Iris have been coming here at least three or four
243
00:13:50.200 --> 00:13:51.960
times a year to see all your girls.
244
00:13:52.120 --> 00:13:53.159
Yes, Missus Demerist.
245
00:13:53.279 --> 00:13:55.480
Now the directors have been good enough to let us
246
00:13:55.879 --> 00:13:59.279
take you home with us for a while. We need
247
00:13:59.320 --> 00:14:02.720
your help. We want you to see if you can
248
00:14:02.799 --> 00:14:04.799
find someone who is lost.
249
00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:07.720
Yes, Missus Dennrist, I'd like to come home with you.
250
00:14:08.320 --> 00:14:10.080
I'd like to help you find Missus Wheeler.
251
00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:16.240
Then you know about my poor niece. Iris. The Secret
252
00:14:16.399 --> 00:14:19.320
Service couldn't have secretary of Missus Demerist. You know how
253
00:14:19.360 --> 00:14:19.840
girls are.
254
00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:20.480
Well.
255
00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:22.480
I guess we can get started at any time. If
256
00:14:22.559 --> 00:14:23.320
Missus Lloyd is.
257
00:14:23.320 --> 00:14:27.639
Ready, please call her Iris. Mister Wheeler, remember that you're
258
00:14:27.759 --> 00:14:29.480
still dealing.
259
00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:41.000
With a child. Iris. I hope you'll enjoy staying with us.
260
00:14:41.120 --> 00:14:43.120
I have a lovely room for you. I'm sure you'll
261
00:14:43.159 --> 00:14:43.440
like it.
262
00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:44.879
Do you know what I really like?
263
00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:47.679
What's that a cigarette?
264
00:14:47.799 --> 00:14:48.200
Iris?
265
00:14:48.919 --> 00:14:51.720
Don't tell me you smoke Iris only.
266
00:14:51.519 --> 00:14:53.320
When I can get away with it spelled.
267
00:14:53.480 --> 00:14:56.279
You're not getting away with it now, for Heaven's sake.
268
00:14:56.480 --> 00:15:02.000
Oh, never mind, never mind.
269
00:15:01.799 --> 00:15:07.720
Uh, hello there, mister Wheeler.
270
00:15:08.039 --> 00:15:12.360
Oh Lucas, Uh, how are you? How's the taxi business?
271
00:15:12.399 --> 00:15:12.879
M e?
272
00:15:13.240 --> 00:15:16.039
Good day doctor you man, mister Wheler.
273
00:15:15.759 --> 00:15:18.200
I know, Lucas. I'm sorry. I gotta get these groceries home.
274
00:15:18.279 --> 00:15:19.559
We have company for dinner tonight.
275
00:15:19.720 --> 00:15:25.279
She's at your place and she that girl what girl?
276
00:15:25.840 --> 00:15:31.720
And Irish Lloyd, the girl who finds things. I'm afraid of,
277
00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:36.360
mister Whilly. I'm afraid she'll find out what we did.
278
00:15:37.320 --> 00:15:39.120
Did you ever say anything like that to me again.
279
00:15:39.480 --> 00:15:43.440
I'm scared, mister Whaley. I'm telling you that girl is peculiar.
280
00:15:44.519 --> 00:15:47.960
She knows what you're thinking. They say.
281
00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:54.480
She knows where you can find anything, even dead body
282
00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:57.279
got to wait from me. Lucas, I told you to
283
00:15:57.320 --> 00:16:00.440
keep away from me when I came here. Now away
284
00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:07.120
from my car, or I run you down.
285
00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:18.399
And I'm scared. I'm scared that little girl. Lucas the
286
00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:22.559
taxi driver, Lucas the murderer, is scared.
287
00:16:23.519 --> 00:16:27.080
But David Wheeler seems to be frightened too, and maybe
288
00:16:27.120 --> 00:16:30.679
we'll learn if the fright is justified when we returned
289
00:16:30.720 --> 00:16:44.879
shortly with that too. Now let's go back to the
290
00:16:44.919 --> 00:16:48.639
little town of Medvale for the second act of The
291
00:16:48.679 --> 00:16:53.600
Girl who Found Things. David Wheeler has just returned from
292
00:16:53.600 --> 00:16:57.159
a shopping trip, but he finds things that are different
293
00:16:57.279 --> 00:16:59.159
in the big house at the end of the road.
294
00:16:59.519 --> 00:17:03.440
What happened here, Rowena, This room looks like a cyclone headed.
295
00:17:03.320 --> 00:17:04.720
It was Hurricane Iris.
296
00:17:04.759 --> 00:17:05.720
What are you talking about?
297
00:17:06.039 --> 00:17:08.640
A face caught her, sweet little orphan Annie in here
298
00:17:08.720 --> 00:17:11.960
smoking one of my cigarettes. I didn't hear the whole argument,
299
00:17:12.000 --> 00:17:14.000
but I'll tell you one thing. That girl has the
300
00:17:14.079 --> 00:17:15.640
vocabulary of a longshoreman.
301
00:17:16.480 --> 00:17:18.359
Maybe that'll knock some sense into ad Faith.
302
00:17:18.440 --> 00:17:21.599
Iris started throwing things, and that's when ant Faith went
303
00:17:21.680 --> 00:17:22.920
upstairs to lie down.
304
00:17:23.160 --> 00:17:25.079
I go and see her, tell her to take her
305
00:17:25.279 --> 00:17:27.200
psychic delinquent back where she came from.
306
00:17:27.240 --> 00:17:29.960
I wouldn't bother her. Now she's not feeling well.
307
00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:33.319
Well, I'll see the little monster? Then? Where is she?
308
00:17:33.640 --> 00:17:39.160
Next door to us? In Geraldine's room?
309
00:17:39.200 --> 00:17:42.119
Iris? Iris is, mister Wheeler? May I come in?
310
00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:45.319
Hello?
311
00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:47.880
Hanson? Auntie says you went shopping?
312
00:17:49.200 --> 00:17:52.359
What have you been up to? Iris? And my aunt
313
00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:54.160
isn't a well woman, and we won't put up with
314
00:17:54.200 --> 00:17:56.640
any bad behavior. Now. What happened downstairs?
315
00:17:56.759 --> 00:17:57.039
Nothing?
316
00:17:57.519 --> 00:18:00.000
I found a button ashtray and took a couple of drags.
317
00:18:00.359 --> 00:18:01.880
Do you think I was committing immortal sin?
318
00:18:01.960 --> 00:18:02.359
The way she.
319
00:18:02.400 --> 00:18:02.920
Yelled at me?
320
00:18:03.079 --> 00:18:06.200
I heard you did some fancy yelling yourself. Is is
321
00:18:06.200 --> 00:18:07.960
that what the sisters taught to you at the home.
322
00:18:08.200 --> 00:18:10.079
They didn't teach me anything worthwhile?
323
00:18:10.519 --> 00:18:13.279
Maybe you need more instruction. Maybe you better get back
324
00:18:13.319 --> 00:18:14.680
there as soon as possible.
325
00:18:14.799 --> 00:18:18.400
Oh, mister Reeler, please, I'm awfully sorry. I didn't need
326
00:18:18.440 --> 00:18:21.920
to do anything wrong. I didn't I didn't. I don't, Please,
327
00:18:21.920 --> 00:18:22.599
don't any down.
328
00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:24.519
Wait wait a minute now.
329
00:18:24.640 --> 00:18:31.200
Please don't do it, Okay, go on, I'm sorry.
330
00:18:33.680 --> 00:18:36.799
It was the deivil. I'm sure it was the devil trying.
331
00:18:36.599 --> 00:18:37.559
To take my body.
332
00:18:39.559 --> 00:18:43.240
It's all right. I know you didn't mean what you said. No,
333
00:18:43.440 --> 00:18:47.319
it suggests it makes you this way, And don't worry
334
00:18:47.319 --> 00:18:50.279
about what I asked you to do. You take your
335
00:18:50.319 --> 00:18:53.000
time about gerald Deane, take as long as you like.
336
00:18:53.200 --> 00:18:55.200
Oh would I want to help? I really do.
337
00:18:55.240 --> 00:18:57.319
Act think No, wait a minute, and you're not going
338
00:18:57.359 --> 00:18:58.000
to fall for this.
339
00:19:00.920 --> 00:19:04.000
Do you know something? I can feel your niece in
340
00:19:04.039 --> 00:19:08.200
his house and face. I really can. I can feel
341
00:19:08.240 --> 00:19:12.200
her in this room, whispering to me, trying to tell
342
00:19:12.200 --> 00:19:12.960
me where she is.
343
00:19:13.400 --> 00:19:17.000
Can you, Irish? Can you really can't you see that?
344
00:19:17.160 --> 00:19:17.440
I can?
345
00:19:18.279 --> 00:19:18.680
I can.
346
00:19:19.039 --> 00:19:22.960
I can feel her everywhere. I can almost touch miss Wheeler.
347
00:19:24.319 --> 00:19:30.119
Oh is this her clocket? These are her clothes?
348
00:19:31.680 --> 00:19:31.920
Oh?
349
00:19:32.240 --> 00:19:33.319
They're so beautiful.
350
00:19:34.200 --> 00:19:36.160
She must have looked beautiful in them.
351
00:19:36.440 --> 00:19:38.880
Has iris ever seen a photo of Geraldine?
352
00:19:39.039 --> 00:19:41.200
Oh? Look at this one.
353
00:19:41.799 --> 00:19:47.839
It's all gold, all shiny gold, and it's so long.
354
00:19:49.359 --> 00:19:51.400
Was she very tall?
355
00:19:51.920 --> 00:19:53.799
It's an evening gown? Irish?
356
00:19:54.000 --> 00:19:58.079
Oh, I can censor in this gown, I can. I
357
00:19:58.319 --> 00:20:00.440
just know I'm going to be able to f for
358
00:20:00.519 --> 00:20:06.319
you and faith I know it. Yes, yes, I believe
359
00:20:06.480 --> 00:20:08.160
that to my child.
360
00:20:16.400 --> 00:20:18.519
Won't you have some more of the beef Rowena, No.
361
00:20:18.599 --> 00:20:21.960
Thank you, we'd better save some for Iris. Something tells
362
00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:24.039
me that little girl had a very big appetite.
363
00:20:24.279 --> 00:20:26.640
I wish she'd come downstairs. I told her dinner would
364
00:20:26.640 --> 00:20:28.400
be served at seven point thirty. Would you like me
365
00:20:28.440 --> 00:20:30.799
to go upstairs and see if she's all right? No, no,
366
00:20:31.000 --> 00:20:32.559
I'm sure she'll be down in a moment.
367
00:20:32.839 --> 00:20:35.119
You've really forgiven her completely, haven't you?
368
00:20:35.400 --> 00:20:40.599
Of course? Oh, you don't understand psychic personality, David. It
369
00:20:40.720 --> 00:20:43.799
wasn't her swearing at me this afternoon. It was this
370
00:20:44.079 --> 00:20:47.279
demon which possesses her, the same spirit that gives her
371
00:20:47.319 --> 00:20:48.400
the gift of insight.
372
00:20:49.160 --> 00:20:54.440
David the fork, take a look at what's coming downstairs
373
00:20:54.640 --> 00:20:56.960
in a gold lammeet evening gown.
374
00:20:57.599 --> 00:21:03.279
For heaven sake, Hello everyone, Iris, whatever are you wearing?
375
00:21:03.359 --> 00:21:05.920
You go upstairs and get that dress off. You have
376
00:21:05.960 --> 00:21:07.519
no right to wear my sister's clothes.
377
00:21:07.599 --> 00:21:09.559
Take it off. Why should I do you hurt me?
378
00:21:09.799 --> 00:21:11.200
Get that dress back in the closet.
379
00:21:11.799 --> 00:21:15.359
I won't, I won't, and faith no, I won't take
380
00:21:15.359 --> 00:21:17.079
it off. Do you know what I told you? I
381
00:21:17.200 --> 00:21:19.519
have to wear your niece's clothes so I can feel
382
00:21:19.559 --> 00:21:20.559
her arm.
383
00:21:20.720 --> 00:21:22.480
You're a going to feel my foot in about five
384
00:21:22.480 --> 00:21:23.279
seconds if you don't.
385
00:21:23.160 --> 00:21:24.680
Go upstairs, anybody in it.
386
00:21:24.799 --> 00:21:31.640
Don't take me, don't please, don't cry, David. You shouldn't
387
00:21:31.680 --> 00:21:32.720
talk that way to the pool there.
388
00:21:32.799 --> 00:21:33.640
I won't stay here.
389
00:21:33.839 --> 00:21:35.519
I won't hope you find your knees that.
390
00:21:36.160 --> 00:21:37.960
I can't do anything of a kind, and you know it.
391
00:21:38.319 --> 00:21:44.559
Iris, Iris listened to me. Iris, you remember those things
392
00:21:44.559 --> 00:21:47.079
you did at the home to where you found things
393
00:21:47.119 --> 00:21:47.960
for sister to raise?
394
00:21:48.079 --> 00:21:48.279
Yes?
395
00:21:49.240 --> 00:21:51.599
Do you think you could do something like that again
396
00:21:51.880 --> 00:21:52.759
right now? For us?
397
00:21:52.880 --> 00:21:55.440
I don't know. I could try.
398
00:21:55.720 --> 00:21:56.799
Would you let her try?
399
00:21:56.920 --> 00:21:58.200
David? I don't know what you mean.
400
00:21:58.960 --> 00:22:01.119
I want you to hide some thing or name some
401
00:22:01.240 --> 00:22:03.759
object you've lost to misplaced, perhaps somewhere in this house.
402
00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:05.359
If this is silly, it's a parlor game.
403
00:22:05.440 --> 00:22:07.559
At least you can do is try it, all right?
404
00:22:08.279 --> 00:22:10.359
How do we play this game of hide and seek?
405
00:22:10.599 --> 00:22:12.720
David? What about the cat?
406
00:22:13.200 --> 00:22:13.640
The cat?
407
00:22:13.920 --> 00:22:16.799
You remember you once told me about a wool kitten
408
00:22:16.839 --> 00:22:18.920
you used to have as a child. You said you
409
00:22:19.000 --> 00:22:21.079
lost it somewhere in the house when you were five,
410
00:22:21.319 --> 00:22:23.079
and you were so happy about it you wouldn't eat
411
00:22:23.079 --> 00:22:23.559
for days.
412
00:22:24.599 --> 00:22:26.319
That's thirty years ago. Rowena.
413
00:22:26.480 --> 00:22:29.799
All the better, all the better, David, Iris, Do you
414
00:22:29.920 --> 00:22:33.319
think you could find it? Could you find David's claw? Kitten?
415
00:22:33.440 --> 00:22:35.599
Oh, I'm not sure. I'm never sure.
416
00:22:35.799 --> 00:22:38.079
Just try, Iris. We won't blame you if you fail.
417
00:22:38.119 --> 00:22:41.599
It might have been thrown out ages ago. But try anyway,
418
00:22:41.680 --> 00:22:45.079
all right, I will, but you'll have.
419
00:22:45.039 --> 00:22:47.880
To shut off flights and then what burn incense? And
420
00:22:48.000 --> 00:22:48.599
chance gave it?
421
00:22:48.680 --> 00:22:52.920
Please turn off the room while you were there, Iris.
422
00:22:53.119 --> 00:22:54.720
The room is dark enough, isn't it.
423
00:22:55.599 --> 00:23:04.240
Yes, Yes, it's dark enough. When I close my eyes, obviously, I.
424
00:23:04.359 --> 00:23:12.640
Think she's going into a trance. It's so hard for me, Darling.
425
00:23:12.839 --> 00:23:15.440
She isn't, David, I know she isn't. She's in a
426
00:23:15.599 --> 00:23:21.920
genuine France. Oh hard, Oh.
427
00:23:21.680 --> 00:23:22.519
It's so hot.
428
00:23:22.960 --> 00:23:28.200
She's you isn't making nothing so hot?
429
00:23:28.480 --> 00:23:30.559
Back here? Oh?
430
00:23:30.759 --> 00:23:31.240
Please?
431
00:23:32.079 --> 00:23:32.279
Oh?
432
00:23:32.480 --> 00:23:38.480
Please, Kitty, it's hot, hot, Kitty, it's hot, Kitty.
433
00:23:39.039 --> 00:23:41.160
She could be talking about the world Chap, what if
434
00:23:41.200 --> 00:23:42.319
she is? Please?
435
00:23:42.839 --> 00:23:52.559
Please somebody help help Kitty, Help her, please, old kitty, the.
436
00:23:52.640 --> 00:24:01.400
Girl that behind the dog hot kiddy hot behind the stove?
437
00:24:01.480 --> 00:24:04.960
Is that what she said? Iris IRUs Darling? Are you
438
00:24:04.960 --> 00:24:08.880
all right, David? Turn on the lights quickly, dark Assy.
439
00:24:09.000 --> 00:24:11.960
It was all gibberish, Rowena. It's just nonsense.
440
00:24:12.000 --> 00:24:14.880
You're so stubborn, David. But she said it clearly. The
441
00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:18.839
kittens behind the stove, well you probably stopped it when
442
00:24:18.880 --> 00:24:20.839
you were a little brat of a boy. We could
443
00:24:20.880 --> 00:24:23.519
find out, couldn't we. It's the same stove still in
444
00:24:23.519 --> 00:24:24.279
the kitchen.
445
00:24:24.000 --> 00:24:24.480
I suppose.
446
00:24:24.559 --> 00:24:27.200
So there's a microwave up in too, but they've never
447
00:24:27.240 --> 00:24:28.559
moved the old iron monster.
448
00:24:28.759 --> 00:24:33.400
Let's look, David, please, I.
449
00:24:34.799 --> 00:24:36.480
Can't feel anything behind here.
450
00:24:36.680 --> 00:24:37.680
Try the other side, David.
451
00:24:37.720 --> 00:24:41.440
Oh this is ridiculous. Look my hands are getting filthy here.
452
00:24:41.640 --> 00:24:42.319
Use this label.
453
00:24:42.440 --> 00:24:45.319
It's no Dukes Rowena, it's simply kept.
454
00:24:45.799 --> 00:24:48.079
It's it's David.
455
00:24:48.519 --> 00:24:49.119
What is it?
456
00:24:49.160 --> 00:24:50.079
Did you touch something?
457
00:24:50.799 --> 00:24:53.880
Oh? Yes, something? I don't know what.
458
00:24:54.440 --> 00:24:55.200
Can you get it out?
459
00:24:55.960 --> 00:24:56.119
Yeah?
460
00:24:56.839 --> 00:25:01.839
I think so, Good Lord David.
461
00:25:03.000 --> 00:25:08.839
It's a cat, a wool cat. Yes, it's so filthy
462
00:25:08.880 --> 00:25:12.480
and all. But it's still a cat, isn't it. She
463
00:25:12.720 --> 00:25:14.640
is the one you lost, is it?
464
00:25:15.440 --> 00:25:18.000
Yes? Yes, it's the wire. David.
465
00:25:18.079 --> 00:25:21.960
You look so strange, you look frightened.
466
00:25:32.799 --> 00:25:36.720
What are you doing here, Iris? Having a picnic all
467
00:25:36.799 --> 00:25:37.400
by yourself?
468
00:25:38.000 --> 00:25:40.440
I just thought i'd lie on the grass for Anna.
469
00:25:41.599 --> 00:25:44.839
What are you doing with a Daisy loves me? Loves me?
470
00:25:44.920 --> 00:25:48.480
Not want to finish it off for my uncle Daisy?
471
00:25:48.559 --> 00:25:50.119
What about the uncle David's stuff?
472
00:25:50.400 --> 00:25:51.559
I'll finish it for you. Then?
473
00:25:52.400 --> 00:25:55.680
She loves me? She loves me, not she loves me.
474
00:25:56.359 --> 00:26:01.559
She loves me. Not too bad, Uncle David, She just does.
475
00:26:01.640 --> 00:26:06.359
I love you. You're rife, of course? Who else?
476
00:26:07.519 --> 00:26:08.039
Buy out?
477
00:26:08.200 --> 00:26:12.680
Iris? Wait here? Look, I want to talk to you
478
00:26:12.759 --> 00:26:18.319
a minute. Really, Iris, what's the story with you? You've
479
00:26:18.319 --> 00:26:20.200
been here over a week and you haven't done anything
480
00:26:20.200 --> 00:26:23.799
about well, you know what. This is just a great
481
00:26:23.839 --> 00:26:25.200
big picnic for you, isn't it?
482
00:26:26.200 --> 00:26:28.039
What if it is? You think I want to go
483
00:26:28.119 --> 00:26:32.160
back to the creepy home. It's better here. No uniforms, no,
484
00:26:32.160 --> 00:26:36.559
no six am prayers, none about jumps a call food. Also,
485
00:26:37.720 --> 00:26:38.640
I like the company.
486
00:26:38.920 --> 00:26:40.440
I suppose I should say thank you.
487
00:26:40.720 --> 00:26:41.799
There's nothing you can say.
488
00:26:41.799 --> 00:26:45.839
I don't know already. I'm psyched for minute?
489
00:26:47.119 --> 00:26:50.079
What about that? Iris? Is it just some kind of trick.
490
00:26:51.400 --> 00:26:52.079
You can tell me.
491
00:26:52.599 --> 00:26:55.480
I'll show you if it's a trick. What means to rare?
492
00:26:55.920 --> 00:26:57.079
Tell you all about yourself?
493
00:26:57.359 --> 00:26:58.039
Hi, go ahead?
494
00:26:58.359 --> 00:26:58.720
Okay?
495
00:26:59.440 --> 00:27:00.359
Your wife thank you.
496
00:27:01.240 --> 00:27:04.119
She thinks you're rotten. You weren't even married a year
497
00:27:04.160 --> 00:27:06.440
when you started running around with out a women. She
498
00:27:06.519 --> 00:27:08.599
never went to the mill, not more than once or
499
00:27:08.599 --> 00:27:11.279
twice a month. That was how you ran the business.
500
00:27:11.640 --> 00:27:14.119
All you knew how to do is spend money to
501
00:27:14.160 --> 00:27:15.039
do a little preston.
502
00:27:15.200 --> 00:27:16.799
You're not psychic or an eaves droppers.
503
00:27:16.839 --> 00:27:17.960
Oh, let's go my arm.
504
00:27:18.039 --> 00:27:21.160
Your room is right next door. You've been listening.
505
00:27:21.200 --> 00:27:22.279
Do you think I could help?
506
00:27:22.319 --> 00:27:23.240
You're any too? Ardumly?
507
00:27:24.279 --> 00:27:28.519
I guess you couldn't. I'm I'm sorry, Iris. I hope
508
00:27:28.519 --> 00:27:29.160
I didn't hurt you.
509
00:27:29.759 --> 00:27:31.319
I know a way you can make it up to me,
510
00:27:32.240 --> 00:27:34.000
like this a way.
511
00:27:36.240 --> 00:27:37.240
Don't you want to kid me?
512
00:27:37.400 --> 00:27:38.400
No, your dumb kid.
513
00:27:38.519 --> 00:27:40.559
I'm not a kid. I'm almost seventeen.
514
00:27:40.640 --> 00:27:42.279
You were sixteen three months ago.
515
00:27:42.480 --> 00:27:45.839
A woman, but you're not even a man.
516
00:27:52.039 --> 00:27:53.559
David, Yes, it's me.
517
00:27:53.880 --> 00:27:56.920
Oh if you don't call for a taxi a taxi?
518
00:27:57.440 --> 00:27:58.680
No? Why should I?
519
00:27:58.400 --> 00:27:58.559
Oh?
520
00:27:58.680 --> 00:28:01.160
I don't know, but lucas a cabin in the driveway.
521
00:28:01.279 --> 00:28:02.599
He said he was waiting for you.
522
00:28:02.759 --> 00:28:05.079
Lucas. Well, i'd better go and see what he wants.
523
00:28:05.200 --> 00:28:06.920
You know, I'll be ready around seven, David.
524
00:28:12.559 --> 00:28:15.079
All right, Lucas, what are you doing here?
525
00:28:15.359 --> 00:28:20.319
I had to talk to you, mister Wheeler. I wanted
526
00:28:20.359 --> 00:28:23.039
you to know how it went. I did what you
527
00:28:23.160 --> 00:28:27.200
told me, exactly like I said. I hit her clean.
528
00:28:27.559 --> 00:28:30.640
She didn't hurt a bit, no bloody all.
529
00:28:30.599 --> 00:28:34.400
Right, I don't want to hear about it anymore, Lucas.
530
00:28:34.440 --> 00:28:39.240
I'm satisfied, and you should be too. You got your money,
531
00:28:39.759 --> 00:28:40.799
and I forget about it.
532
00:28:40.880 --> 00:28:44.160
And I picked up Miss Wheeler and I took her
533
00:28:44.160 --> 00:28:45.920
out in the woods as far as I could.
534
00:28:47.400 --> 00:28:51.240
I dug deep, mister Wheeler. I did a good job.
535
00:28:52.160 --> 00:28:54.559
I smoothed it over and spread them leaves so as
536
00:28:54.640 --> 00:28:58.200
nobody had guessed, was there nobody.
537
00:28:58.200 --> 00:29:02.920
Hip h So it's that girl you're still worried about.
538
00:29:03.400 --> 00:29:07.279
I've heard awful funny things about her, mister Wheeler, about
539
00:29:07.279 --> 00:29:12.079
her finding things, finding her little girl that fell near
540
00:29:12.160 --> 00:29:17.240
Crump Lake. Maybe she can see you right into your
541
00:29:17.279 --> 00:29:18.640
sister's gray iris.
542
00:29:18.799 --> 00:29:21.079
Lloyd won't find her, nobody will.
543
00:29:21.920 --> 00:29:27.640
She's right behind the house, Miss Wheeler. She's so close
544
00:29:28.519 --> 00:29:29.200
right in the wood.
545
00:29:29.319 --> 00:29:32.680
You've got to forget it, Lucas, like it never happened.
546
00:29:33.000 --> 00:29:36.839
My sister's disappeared and she's not coming back. As for
547
00:29:36.880 --> 00:29:41.759
the girl, don't believe what you hear. Nobody can see
548
00:29:41.799 --> 00:29:44.279
into a grave, Lucas.
549
00:29:44.279 --> 00:29:54.240
Nobody is David Wheeler really as convinced as he sounds,
550
00:29:55.559 --> 00:29:59.599
or can Lucas detect the doubt in his voice and
551
00:29:59.680 --> 00:30:03.480
the in his eyes. We'll learn more about the girl
552
00:30:03.519 --> 00:30:06.640
who found Things when we returned shortly with that.
553
00:30:06.880 --> 00:30:18.880
Three.
554
00:30:19.640 --> 00:30:22.440
Now, let's return to the Wheeler house in the town
555
00:30:22.480 --> 00:30:26.759
of Meadvale, a house filled with people waiting for a
556
00:30:26.799 --> 00:30:32.359
psychic revelation from the girl who found things. But that
557
00:30:32.519 --> 00:30:35.359
revelation appears to be very slow in coming.
558
00:30:35.799 --> 00:30:38.799
That girl has been here for how long? Two weeks?
559
00:30:38.839 --> 00:30:39.960
It seems like two months.
560
00:30:40.240 --> 00:30:44.400
She hasn't done a thing but enjoy herself. David, what's
561
00:30:44.400 --> 00:30:47.200
the point of our staying on? You said you had
562
00:30:47.200 --> 00:30:49.799
some affairs to settle. You don't seem to be conducting
563
00:30:49.799 --> 00:30:50.680
any business at all.
564
00:30:51.119 --> 00:30:52.559
Have you been in the mood for business?
565
00:30:52.799 --> 00:30:53.960
That's nothing very new?
566
00:30:54.160 --> 00:30:54.359
Is it?
567
00:30:54.440 --> 00:30:57.119
How long you want to keep that light on? I'd
568
00:30:57.160 --> 00:30:58.039
like to get some sleep.
569
00:30:58.160 --> 00:31:01.759
If you think Iras Lloyd is indulged herself, what about you?
570
00:31:01.839 --> 00:31:04.559
Be quiet? I told you that she can hear every
571
00:31:04.640 --> 00:31:07.720
nasty little quarrel in this room. That's why I asked
572
00:31:07.759 --> 00:31:08.279
for a truth.
573
00:31:08.400 --> 00:31:10.880
Well, she doesn't have to ease drop? Does she can't
574
00:31:10.920 --> 00:31:15.119
she read mind? Well, she's not the only clairvoyant around here.
575
00:31:15.559 --> 00:31:17.119
I can read her mind too.
576
00:31:16.960 --> 00:31:18.960
If she was a child. For Heaven's sake, she's in
577
00:31:18.960 --> 00:31:19.559
love with you.
578
00:31:20.319 --> 00:31:23.400
Of course, there's a minor abstraction in her plans, a
579
00:31:23.480 --> 00:31:26.640
small matter of your wife. But then I've never been
580
00:31:26.680 --> 00:31:29.240
much of a hindrance to your romances, have I?
581
00:31:29.240 --> 00:31:34.279
I thought you agreed to that truth. You are a passifist, David.
582
00:31:34.359 --> 00:31:37.039
That's part of your charm. That's why you came up
583
00:31:37.079 --> 00:31:39.920
here in March. Wasn't it to make peace with Geraldine?
584
00:31:39.960 --> 00:31:40.960
I came here on business.
585
00:31:40.960 --> 00:31:43.440
You came to keep Geraldine from sending you to prison.
586
00:31:43.720 --> 00:31:44.519
That was the business.
587
00:31:44.559 --> 00:31:45.519
You know nothing about it.
588
00:31:45.559 --> 00:31:48.480
I have eyes, David. I know you were taking money
589
00:31:48.480 --> 00:31:51.480
from the mill, too much money. Geraldine knew it too.
590
00:31:52.319 --> 00:31:54.319
How much time did she give you to make up
591
00:31:54.319 --> 00:31:55.160
the loss? All right?
592
00:31:55.400 --> 00:31:57.079
If you wanted me to get some sweep here. I'll sleep
593
00:31:57.079 --> 00:32:05.240
in the library, David. David, she said your yes, yes, Aunt, Faith,
594
00:32:05.799 --> 00:32:06.559
What are you doing up?
595
00:32:06.839 --> 00:32:07.960
I heard a noise?
596
00:32:08.039 --> 00:32:10.319
Oh, well it was me probably, I was just going
597
00:32:10.440 --> 00:32:12.799
down to the library to I'll find a book to read.
598
00:32:12.920 --> 00:32:16.400
No, it wasn't you staked? Look what.
599
00:32:17.920 --> 00:32:18.559
It's us?
600
00:32:18.839 --> 00:32:20.799
Yes, and you like John.
601
00:32:21.279 --> 00:32:25.079
What she's doing in the front hall, just like that, David.
602
00:32:26.119 --> 00:32:30.799
She is sleepwalking. Look in her eyes, David. We have
603
00:32:30.880 --> 00:32:31.440
to follow her.
604
00:32:31.759 --> 00:32:34.240
Let her alone, Annie, You're not supposed to disturb a
605
00:32:34.279 --> 00:32:35.000
sleep or her im.
606
00:32:35.119 --> 00:32:40.440
I've got to follow her, all right. I'll come with you, David.
607
00:32:41.400 --> 00:32:43.680
She's talking to herself. Can you hear her?
608
00:32:44.119 --> 00:32:48.519
What did I forget? What did I? How did you
609
00:32:48.559 --> 00:32:48.920
hear that?
610
00:32:49.599 --> 00:32:51.119
Did did you hear what she's saying?
611
00:32:51.160 --> 00:32:52.640
Yes? But I don't understand it.
612
00:32:52.720 --> 00:32:57.640
Why doesn't the taxi get here? Why doesn't it get here?
613
00:32:58.319 --> 00:33:01.240
Taxi? She's said something about a taxi t.
614
00:33:01.400 --> 00:33:02.839
Yes, yes, I heard her.
615
00:33:03.559 --> 00:33:07.640
Oh, we have to be going to the station. I'm
616
00:33:07.720 --> 00:33:11.920
so nervous. I'm always so nervous.
617
00:33:11.359 --> 00:33:15.559
When I go on a trip. Please get my luggage,
618
00:33:16.119 --> 00:33:17.240
may I luck you?
619
00:33:17.319 --> 00:33:20.960
Oh, dear god, David. She's in a trance. She's talking
620
00:33:21.000 --> 00:33:22.759
the way, What did I forget?
621
00:33:23.720 --> 00:33:31.559
Guys? Hellle Tracy tell her, sir, the fireplace is the
622
00:33:31.599 --> 00:33:32.960
fireplace called?
623
00:33:35.559 --> 00:33:38.359
No, not a fire place?
624
00:33:39.079 --> 00:33:40.680
Not a fire place?
625
00:33:41.079 --> 00:33:41.759
What does she mean?
626
00:33:41.839 --> 00:33:43.960
I don't know. I think I think this is wrong.
627
00:33:43.960 --> 00:33:45.440
I think we should get her back to bail.
628
00:33:46.519 --> 00:33:50.839
Don't touch her, data, don't So she's heading for the
629
00:33:50.839 --> 00:33:52.200
back of the house. Come on here.
630
00:33:52.720 --> 00:33:53.799
You haven't got to follow her.
631
00:33:54.160 --> 00:33:55.559
I think she means to go outside.
632
00:33:55.599 --> 00:33:56.359
We can't let her do that.
633
00:33:56.519 --> 00:33:58.599
Maybe it's important. Maybe it's something to do with.
634
00:33:58.640 --> 00:34:04.160
Geraldine insane, just sleepwalking, that's all of it. Iris Iris, wake.
635
00:34:04.039 --> 00:34:04.480
Up, David.
636
00:34:04.480 --> 00:34:10.400
Don't you want that girl to catch pneumonia? I will Irish, Yeah,
637
00:34:10.440 --> 00:34:11.280
I wake up.
638
00:34:11.360 --> 00:34:18.000
Yeah, you don't. You're not supposed to wake a tree walk.
639
00:34:18.119 --> 00:34:21.800
Everybody knows that.
640
00:34:21.840 --> 00:34:25.280
Iris Iris is only me Iris.
641
00:34:27.320 --> 00:34:29.360
No, no, no, darling, it's all right.
642
00:34:29.199 --> 00:34:30.440
It's only wake up.
643
00:34:30.480 --> 00:34:32.679
I said, wake up your poor chi.
644
00:34:35.320 --> 00:34:35.599
David.
645
00:34:35.639 --> 00:34:41.239
That was a calling the I'm here, I'm here. Are
646
00:34:41.280 --> 00:34:41.920

647
00:34:42.000 --> 00:34:42.159
Oh?
648
00:34:42.239 --> 00:34:44.400
Yes, yes, they're all right now.
649
00:34:45.920 --> 00:34:47.800
He was so frighten for you, dear.
650
00:34:48.320 --> 00:34:49.000
But I'm all right.
651
00:34:49.679 --> 00:34:55.639
I think I think that I'm ready ready.
652
00:34:56.599 --> 00:34:57.159
What do you mean?
653
00:34:58.159 --> 00:35:03.159
I think I can do it now? I think I
654
00:35:03.280 --> 00:35:04.719
might be able to tell.
655
00:35:04.559 --> 00:35:07.760
You mean, do you mean where Geraldine is?
656
00:35:08.039 --> 00:35:10.119
Yes, I think I can.
657
00:35:10.960 --> 00:35:14.119
David, We've got to call attendant Rees Reese at this hour.
658
00:35:14.280 --> 00:35:16.440
I told him I would call him whenever. Irish thought
659
00:35:16.440 --> 00:35:17.800
she knew something. I promised him.
660
00:35:17.800 --> 00:35:19.920
I'd it's almost midnight, and he'll come.
661
00:35:19.960 --> 00:35:22.360
I know he will. I'll telephon him myself. You take
662
00:35:22.440 --> 00:35:23.079
Iris to her.
663
00:35:23.000 --> 00:35:25.800
Rule, Yes, yes, all right, come on, Iris.
664
00:35:25.679 --> 00:35:39.159
Yes, uncle David. Well, Uncle David, are you scared?
665
00:35:39.440 --> 00:35:40.559
What are you talking about?
666
00:35:40.960 --> 00:35:43.079
You look scared scared of me?
667
00:35:43.360 --> 00:35:43.840
Shut up?
668
00:35:44.519 --> 00:35:46.960
I thought you would be. The minute you heard that
669
00:35:47.000 --> 00:35:47.599
I was ready.
670
00:35:47.679 --> 00:35:51.360
I'm sending you back. Iris. You're a fake. Even your
671
00:35:51.519 --> 00:35:52.960
sleepwalking actor was a fake.
672
00:35:53.119 --> 00:35:57.079
Oh David, David, you're so cute, you really are.
673
00:35:58.199 --> 00:35:58.880
But do you know what.
674
00:36:00.079 --> 00:36:03.000
I don't have to be ready. I don't have to
675
00:36:03.039 --> 00:36:05.199
do anything at all when that policeman gets here.
676
00:36:06.599 --> 00:36:09.599
Not if you don't want me to you you don't
677
00:36:09.639 --> 00:36:10.800
know what you're talking about.
678
00:36:11.239 --> 00:36:15.159
You better kiss me now, David, You beat it, kiss
679
00:36:15.239 --> 00:36:19.719
me and naked really good?
680
00:36:20.719 --> 00:36:27.480
H right, all right, if that's what you want, David,
681
00:36:29.360 --> 00:36:30.039
get out of here.
682
00:36:30.559 --> 00:36:32.480
I don't want you in my room. You are right
683
00:36:32.519 --> 00:36:35.079
about the walls between these rooms. David, you can hear
684
00:36:35.079 --> 00:36:37.639
every little thing I hate you tell it is you too?
685
00:36:38.039 --> 00:36:38.360
Tell her?
686
00:36:38.440 --> 00:36:38.639
David?
687
00:36:38.679 --> 00:36:39.519
Why don't you tell her?
688
00:36:39.679 --> 00:36:39.920
Yes?
689
00:36:40.480 --> 00:36:42.960
Why don't you David? It's the only thing you haven't
690
00:36:43.000 --> 00:36:43.719
done so far.
691
00:36:44.079 --> 00:36:44.440
David.
692
00:36:44.840 --> 00:36:45.519
Yes, I'm Faith.
693
00:36:45.639 --> 00:36:45.800
Oh.
694
00:36:45.840 --> 00:36:48.199
I just spoke to Lieutenant Reese. He says he's on
695
00:36:48.239 --> 00:36:52.159
his way. You're four. You are ready, Irish, aren't you?
696
00:36:52.159 --> 00:36:54.440
You're ready to tell us where Geraldine is.
697
00:36:54.800 --> 00:37:03.280
Yes, I'm ready to tell you, Aunt Faith more than ready.
698
00:36:59.199 --> 00:37:08.159
Are you sure she's all right? Missus demerist? She looks
699
00:37:08.159 --> 00:37:09.119
offully pale to me.
700
00:37:09.760 --> 00:37:13.519
Iris always looks that way when she enters the trance.
701
00:37:13.800 --> 00:37:16.920
It's a fraud, Lieutenant, The whole thing is a fraud.
702
00:37:16.960 --> 00:37:18.920
You mustn't be taken in well.
703
00:37:19.000 --> 00:37:22.360
I'm just trying to keep an off in mind, mister Willer.
704
00:37:23.440 --> 00:37:27.960
Who heard? I think she could just say something.
705
00:37:31.239 --> 00:37:34.239
This girl is working herself into some kind of fit.
706
00:37:34.440 --> 00:37:35.639
If you are alone doing.
707
00:37:36.119 --> 00:37:39.400
Well, maybe mister Wheeler is right. The girl might do
708
00:37:39.519 --> 00:37:40.360
herself from harm.
709
00:37:41.039 --> 00:37:41.960
You just wait and.
710
00:37:46.800 --> 00:37:51.880
You come and find me. Oh, help me at your dog? Ah,
711
00:37:51.920 --> 00:37:53.480
won't somebody helped me?
712
00:37:55.159 --> 00:37:57.840
It's Deviline will be a lorded her.
713
00:37:58.239 --> 00:38:02.440
Where are you, oh child, my poor darling.
714
00:38:02.800 --> 00:38:09.400
We're off out the job and I know where Geraldine?
715
00:38:09.440 --> 00:38:09.679
Where?
716
00:38:10.400 --> 00:38:11.559
Tell us where you are?
717
00:38:12.199 --> 00:38:18.159
A place by, a place with ships, the sunny shine.
718
00:38:19.119 --> 00:38:24.920
I saw, here's some green trees. The bell's ringing.
719
00:38:24.639 --> 00:38:25.320
In the street.
720
00:38:25.559 --> 00:38:27.840
She's out of her head completely.
721
00:38:27.400 --> 00:38:32.400
A place with ships, bells ringing in the streets.
722
00:38:32.519 --> 00:38:38.639
I see what approach Troy card in the street, going
723
00:38:38.760 --> 00:38:39.480
up and.
724
00:38:39.480 --> 00:38:43.679
Down the hill. San Francisco. I'm sure she means San Francisco.
725
00:38:44.280 --> 00:38:50.039
Yes, it sounds like it, Irish. Do you mean San Francisco?
726
00:38:51.280 --> 00:38:52.840
Is that where Geraldine is?
727
00:38:53.119 --> 00:38:56.119
Yes, yes, that's where she is.
728
00:38:57.559 --> 00:39:01.079
Well, who knows, it's just a guess as I've heard.
729
00:39:02.920 --> 00:39:05.159
Has miss Willer ever been in San Francisco before?
730
00:39:05.400 --> 00:39:05.679
Never?
731
00:39:06.239 --> 00:39:10.239
Why would she go there, David, I really wouldn't know.
732
00:39:10.840 --> 00:39:14.000
But if that's where Iris says she is, I guess
733
00:39:14.000 --> 00:39:15.719
the spirits know what they're talking about.
734
00:39:16.920 --> 00:39:17.760
She's waking up.
735
00:39:18.519 --> 00:39:19.440
I want to go home.
736
00:39:20.119 --> 00:39:22.440
Oh please, Sibody, take me home.
737
00:39:33.840 --> 00:39:37.039
Well, your idea was a huge success, Auntie, but I
738
00:39:37.039 --> 00:39:39.440
can't say that I'm not glad to see little Iris
739
00:39:39.559 --> 00:39:40.559
back where she belongs.
740
00:39:40.760 --> 00:39:44.480
Yes, a poor child, it's the only home she knows.
741
00:39:45.800 --> 00:39:48.239
Now, all the police have to do is find Geraldine
742
00:39:48.239 --> 00:39:50.519
in San Francisco if she hasn't taken a boat to
743
00:39:50.639 --> 00:39:51.760
South America by now.
744
00:39:52.239 --> 00:39:56.199
I just don't understand. It's not like Geraldine to run
745
00:39:56.239 --> 00:39:57.239
away without a word.
746
00:39:57.800 --> 00:39:59.320
Oh here, we are home again.
747
00:40:01.440 --> 00:40:03.360
Aren't you coming in, David?
748
00:40:03.440 --> 00:40:05.599
Oh? Not just yet. I thought i'd go into town
749
00:40:05.639 --> 00:40:09.360
and pick up some champagne. I thought we'd celebrate a
750
00:40:09.360 --> 00:40:18.719
bit tonight. Well, hello, Lucas, how's the taxi business? Hun?
751
00:40:19.119 --> 00:40:23.679
It could be better? You Uh had any news for me?
752
00:40:23.760 --> 00:40:28.480
And it's Willis. I've got good news. It's all over
753
00:40:29.159 --> 00:40:32.400
Iris lloyd Is back up the Medvale School for Girls.
754
00:40:33.360 --> 00:40:38.880
And she didn't know. She couldn't find out whether that
755
00:40:39.039 --> 00:40:39.960
woman why.
756
00:40:39.880 --> 00:40:42.599
She didn't know, Lucas, just as I promised.
757
00:40:43.079 --> 00:40:48.440
Ah huh, I did the right thing. I know it
758
00:40:48.480 --> 00:40:52.079
was the right thing, mister Williber. I didn't wanna tell.
759
00:40:51.920 --> 00:40:55.159
You the right thing. What do you mean, Well?
760
00:40:55.199 --> 00:40:57.719
I figured that girl could tell if the body was
761
00:40:57.760 --> 00:41:00.719
buried right outside the house, that she never find it.
762
00:41:00.840 --> 00:41:04.960
It was someplace else, someplace far away, Lucas, what are
763
00:41:05.000 --> 00:41:08.039
you talking about. I went out into the woods last
764
00:41:08.039 --> 00:41:13.239
week and dug up that woman's body. I put it
765
00:41:13.239 --> 00:41:16.199
in that trunk off mister Wheeler, and I sent it
766
00:41:16.239 --> 00:41:20.320
by train far away as good, too far away for
767
00:41:20.440 --> 00:41:21.000
that girl.
768
00:41:22.239 --> 00:41:27.079
Yes, sir, excuse me, mister Wheeler. What h Lieutenant Greece.
769
00:41:27.559 --> 00:41:30.159
I wonder if we could have a talk, mister Wheeler
770
00:41:30.840 --> 00:41:35.199
about what we've received? A telegram from the West coast
771
00:41:35.599 --> 00:41:37.800
and the police out there didn't have any luck tracing
772
00:41:37.840 --> 00:41:42.039
his sister, but they did have a report on a
773
00:41:42.079 --> 00:41:46.119
steamer trunk a trunk. It was an unclean baggage at
774
00:41:46.119 --> 00:41:50.639
the Southern Pacific depot. It was shipped from Medvale only
775
00:41:50.679 --> 00:41:56.440
the last week, and while it had miss Wheeler's initials
776
00:41:56.480 --> 00:42:00.000
on it, and now it had more.
777
00:42:00.000 --> 00:42:00.480
Why than that?
778
00:42:01.960 --> 00:42:13.199
So can we go somewhere and talk about San Francisco? Well,
779
00:42:14.000 --> 00:42:17.280
Iris Lloyd is back in her own bed tonight and
780
00:42:17.400 --> 00:42:22.320
her dreams will probably be peaceful, But David Wheeler is
781
00:42:22.320 --> 00:42:24.840
in for a nightmare that may last him for the
782
00:42:24.880 --> 00:42:25.800
rest of his life.
783
00:42:27.000 --> 00:42:42.840
I'll be back shortly. Do you think you have clairvoyant powers?
784
00:42:44.360 --> 00:42:47.559
Have you ever had the experience of finding something that
785
00:42:48.039 --> 00:42:52.760
everyone else thought was lost? Actually you've done exactly that.
786
00:42:54.280 --> 00:42:58.440
You found the magical world of radio drama, and now
787
00:42:58.480 --> 00:43:01.559
that you've made this fine, we hope you'll come back
788
00:43:01.639 --> 00:43:05.920
for more suspenseful dramas to play inside the theater of
789
00:43:05.960 --> 00:43:12.519
your mind. Our cast included Norman Rose, Briana Rayburn, Robert Dryden,
790
00:43:13.000 --> 00:43:16.840

The entire production was under the direction of Hyman Brown.
792
00:43:22.760 --> 00:43:25.519
Now apprise you of our next tale.
793
00:43:26.159 --> 00:43:28.119
All right, mister Thompson.
794
00:43:27.760 --> 00:43:30.519
I'm a human being too, and I guess if I
795
00:43:30.559 --> 00:43:33.239
got a letter telling me that I was rich, I
796
00:43:33.280 --> 00:43:34.400
wouldn't go into morning.
797
00:43:34.440 --> 00:43:37.639
I'd probably go out and celebrate. Let's fine. I wanted
798
00:43:37.679 --> 00:43:41.519
to see you to suggest arranging that happy event without
799
00:43:41.519 --> 00:43:44.639
the slightest trouble on your part, without any obligation, until
800
00:43:44.679 --> 00:43:48.880
you're completely satisfied, and in a short time you'll receive
801
00:43:48.920 --> 00:43:52.239
another letter from Johannesburg informing you of the sad news
802
00:43:52.239 --> 00:43:56.480
of your cousin. Mister Well. I still won't reveal his name.
803
00:43:56.559 --> 00:43:59.960
Let him remain anonymous. That'll make your decision a great
804
00:44:00.199 --> 00:44:04.840
deal easier. I'm sure what decision, the decision to inherit
805
00:44:05.119 --> 00:44:06.679
his estate. Miss E G.
806

Well, my dear, I suppose the evening is off on
817
00:45:28.159 --> 00:45:34.639
the right foot. Oh what's that? Well, I'm not entirely sure,
818

but I suppose we'll find out eventually. Do you Do

00:45:42.920 --> 00:45:48.760
you smell that something beyond my fire burning in my

tea simmering away? Hmmm? Do I detect some evening? Primrod?

We offer you escape.

You were groping in the midnight dimness of a gigantic

department store, and suddenly you realize that you're not alone,
826
00:46:41.440 --> 00:46:43.480

for a half hour of high adventure.
832
00:47:04.920 --> 00:47:10.719
H Tonight, we escaped to the dark labyrinth of a
833
00:47:10.840 --> 00:47:14.239
giant department store in the dead of night, and to
834
00:47:14.320 --> 00:47:19.079
a fantastic world of night dwellers, as John Carlier imagines
835
00:47:19.119 --> 00:47:20.760
it in his eerie story.
836
00:47:22.079 --> 00:47:24.440
Evening Primrose.
837
00:47:46.480 --> 00:47:48.079
A surda Surdy.
838
00:47:48.280 --> 00:47:48.719
What's the matter.
839
00:47:48.800 --> 00:47:52.320
It's me, Oh Sam, you nearly scare me to death.
840
00:47:52.800 --> 00:47:54.360
What do you mean coming in so quiet?
841
00:47:54.559 --> 00:47:56.719
I didn't mean to scare you. I thought you'd be asleep.
842
00:47:56.719 --> 00:47:58.239
I didn't want to work you, Sam.
843
00:47:58.559 --> 00:48:02.840
I'm glad you're home. It's what's terrible? You gotta do something, Sam?
844
00:48:02.920 --> 00:48:04.159
Oh, well, what's terrible?
845
00:48:04.280 --> 00:48:06.320
It's this? Just look at this.
846
00:48:07.440 --> 00:48:08.440
What's terrible about?
847
00:48:08.480 --> 00:48:08.559
That?
848
00:48:08.679 --> 00:48:10.039
Looks like an ordinary pad of.
849
00:48:09.960 --> 00:48:11.400
Paper to me, I just did.
850
00:48:11.760 --> 00:48:14.400
That's just what I thought. But it's got writing in it.
851
00:48:14.400 --> 00:48:15.079
It's awful.
852
00:48:15.400 --> 00:48:17.599
Oh wait a minute, maybe you better tell me what
853
00:48:17.679 --> 00:48:18.559
this is all about.
854
00:48:19.000 --> 00:48:22.400
Well, today I went shopping down at Bracy's department store.
855
00:48:23.039 --> 00:48:25.280
I needed some writing papers, so I picked this up
856
00:48:25.280 --> 00:48:27.760
and it was on top of the pile, and bought
857
00:48:27.760 --> 00:48:30.920
it and brought it home. But tonight when I opened it,
858
00:48:31.559 --> 00:48:33.000
I found it's got writing in it.
859
00:48:33.360 --> 00:48:35.800
Well that's nothing, so terrible. Just take it back tomorrow
860
00:48:35.840 --> 00:48:36.760
and make him give you a new one.
861
00:48:36.840 --> 00:48:40.239
Oh no, you don't understand. It's what's written in it.
862
00:48:40.239 --> 00:48:41.079
It's so terrible.
863
00:48:41.159 --> 00:48:42.440
What do you mean, what's written in it?
864
00:48:42.719 --> 00:48:42.880
Here?
865
00:48:42.960 --> 00:48:46.320
You got to read it? No, no, right now, read it?
866
00:48:46.360 --> 00:48:47.039
Look sadie.
867
00:48:47.039 --> 00:48:47.559
I'm tired.
868
00:48:47.599 --> 00:48:50.719
I've been Please Sam, please just read it.
869
00:48:51.679 --> 00:48:53.480
All right, Pete's sake.
870
00:48:56.199 --> 00:49:04.480
October thirteen. Today I made my decision. I decided to
871
00:49:04.639 --> 00:49:10.119
say goodbye to the world, to get out, leave, break away.
872
00:49:11.119 --> 00:49:18.519
And I have done it. Oh, no, one read And
873
00:49:18.639 --> 00:49:22.159
now I am free, really.
874
00:49:21.880 --> 00:49:28.719
Free, Yes, I am free at last. The world is
875
00:49:28.760 --> 00:49:33.079
an intolerable place for a poet. I was broke, starving
876
00:49:33.119 --> 00:49:36.119
at my wits end, and then I had a brilliant idea.
877
00:49:36.679 --> 00:49:38.639
I would escape to a place where I had no
878
00:49:38.760 --> 00:49:41.159
need to earn a living, where I could write to
879
00:49:41.199 --> 00:49:45.199
my heart's content and peace and security. Where is this
880
00:49:45.280 --> 00:49:49.880
place right under your nose? So close you'd never think
881
00:49:49.920 --> 00:49:53.679
of it. I am now living in Bracy's department store.
882
00:49:53.719 --> 00:49:56.840
I have everything within arm's reach that anyone would need
883
00:49:56.960 --> 00:50:06.159
or desire, and it's all free, absolutely free. I arrived
884
00:50:06.159 --> 00:50:09.159
this afternoon. I'd spent three days looking over all of
885
00:50:09.159 --> 00:50:12.800
the department stores in town. I decided on Bracey's because
886
00:50:12.800 --> 00:50:16.559
of the completeness of their food department. Therefore, this afternoon
887
00:50:17.119 --> 00:50:19.639
I entered the store and went immediately to the fourth
888
00:50:19.639 --> 00:50:23.320
floor to the rug department, and hid myself in this
889
00:50:23.559 --> 00:50:26.480
dusty out of the way corner behind a pile of carpets.
890
00:50:27.480 --> 00:50:29.440
Once I'm settled, I'll furnish it with the best of
891
00:50:29.480 --> 00:50:33.960
modern pieces from the furniture department. It's small, but I'll
892
00:50:34.000 --> 00:50:39.400
be cozy enough and safe. After the store closed, I
893
00:50:39.440 --> 00:50:42.559
made my first venture out. I tiptoed as far as
894
00:50:42.599 --> 00:50:47.480
the stationary counter and got this paper, the writer's primary need. Now,
895
00:50:47.519 --> 00:50:51.880
after making my initial entry, I'll go out and get food, wine,
896
00:50:52.480 --> 00:50:56.119
the pillows for my bed, perhaps a fancy dressing gown.
897
00:50:56.840 --> 00:51:04.400
This is perfect. I'll be able to write here dawn
898
00:51:04.440 --> 00:51:09.519
October fourteenth. I'm almost too unnerved to write this. The
899
00:51:09.559 --> 00:51:14.760
whole thing is unbelievable. After the store was dark and
900
00:51:14.800 --> 00:51:18.599
completely quiet. I crept out and started for the food department.
901
00:51:20.119 --> 00:51:23.599
Once footsteps echo hollowly in an empty department store at night,
902
00:51:24.519 --> 00:51:27.440
and I found myself gliding along the floor on tiptoe,
903
00:51:28.039 --> 00:51:33.719
moving as silently as possible, But the sound of footsteps persisted.
904
00:51:35.320 --> 00:51:38.400
Suddenly I realized they were not my own. The night
905
00:51:38.440 --> 00:51:41.519
watchman I was in the salon Madain. Quickly, I seized
906
00:51:41.519 --> 00:51:44.280
a mink coat from a hangar, draped it about my shoulders, and.
907
00:51:44.239 --> 00:51:45.239
Stood stuck still.
908
00:51:52.480 --> 00:51:55.679
I could have reached out and touched him, but he
909
00:51:55.760 --> 00:52:00.719
passed by without so much as a glance. It started
910
00:52:00.719 --> 00:52:09.039
to smile, but the smile froze on my lips. There
911
00:52:09.119 --> 00:52:13.039
was someone else here. I was looking straight into a
912
00:52:13.039 --> 00:52:19.480
pair of eyes, large flat, luminous in human eyes, peering
913
00:52:19.480 --> 00:52:20.360
at me from among.
914
00:52:20.119 --> 00:52:22.039
The missus tailored suits a dozen feet away.
915
00:52:23.920 --> 00:52:26.920
They belonged to a creature dressed as a man, but
916
00:52:27.039 --> 00:52:29.320
he was as pale as a creature found under a stone.
917
00:52:30.679 --> 00:52:33.159
His hands, hanging motionless at his sides, looked more like
918
00:52:33.199 --> 00:52:36.920
the fins on a fish than human hands. And then
919
00:52:36.920 --> 00:52:44.679
he spoke, not bad for a beginner. I I'm sorry,
920
00:52:44.719 --> 00:52:47.760
I didn't know anybody else lived here.
921
00:52:48.360 --> 00:52:55.519
Oh, yes, we live here. It's delightful. We yes, all
922
00:52:55.559 --> 00:53:00.199
of us, don't you see? Look around?
923
00:53:02.639 --> 00:53:08.400
I looked around. I saw nothing. I looked again. I
924
00:53:08.400 --> 00:53:10.719
saw an old man come clambering out from behind a clock.
925
00:53:11.519 --> 00:53:15.119
There were three elderly angeneus, incredibly emaciated, pale as lace,
926
00:53:15.239 --> 00:53:19.599
almost transparent, simpering before the perfume counter. A chimzy lady
927
00:53:19.639 --> 00:53:22.400
swam out from the curtains and drapes. They came swarming
928
00:53:22.440 --> 00:53:26.320
thick around me, pale, thin, whispy, moving silently, fluttering like
929
00:53:26.400 --> 00:53:27.519
gauze in the wind.
930
00:53:27.480 --> 00:53:31.159
Whispering, oh wrang, he looks.
931
00:53:31.360 --> 00:53:32.239
Who is he?
932
00:53:33.079 --> 00:53:34.679
As cause as the sun?
933
00:53:35.199 --> 00:53:36.280
What is he doing?
934
00:53:37.280 --> 00:53:40.679
A detective? Sing for the dark men?
935
00:53:41.199 --> 00:53:45.559
Yes, sing over the darkning the dark men.
936
00:53:46.320 --> 00:53:49.280
They were pressing around me, climb holding me, their pale
937
00:53:49.280 --> 00:53:53.360
faces controtted with venomous in human hatred. I was paralyzed.
938
00:53:53.480 --> 00:53:55.480
All I could do was repeat over and over again,
939
00:53:55.679 --> 00:53:57.760
I'm not a detective. I'm not a detective.
940
00:53:57.800 --> 00:53:59.199
I'm not a burglar.
941
00:53:59.400 --> 00:54:04.000
Then burglar came up and came to the pace.
942
00:54:04.280 --> 00:54:05.960
Send for the dark men.
943
00:54:06.280 --> 00:54:08.519
Um, stop let him speak.
944
00:54:10.159 --> 00:54:13.840
I'm not a detective or a burglar.
945
00:54:15.280 --> 00:54:16.000
I'm a poet.
946
00:54:16.320 --> 00:54:17.400
Then what are you doing here?
947
00:54:17.800 --> 00:54:22.280
I've I've renounced the world. I came here to live
948
00:54:22.320 --> 00:54:26.599
where I could be alone, away from the world.
949
00:54:26.840 --> 00:54:29.920
Why then he's come over to us.
950
00:54:30.559 --> 00:54:32.000
He's just like us.
951
00:54:32.119 --> 00:54:34.679
He's come over to us.
952
00:54:34.679 --> 00:54:35.400
A poet.
953
00:54:35.800 --> 00:54:36.840
She must meet.
954
00:54:36.679 --> 00:54:37.840
Missus vender Been.
955
00:54:38.800 --> 00:54:43.920
Yez, Missus vender Ben, she's coming now. I followed their
956
00:54:43.960 --> 00:54:44.920
eyes talk abalcony.
957
00:54:45.880 --> 00:54:49.480
There coming down the wall like an ancient spider, clambered
958
00:54:49.480 --> 00:54:52.920
an old lady, wrinkled and cracked and emaciated. She must
959
00:54:52.960 --> 00:54:56.840
have been at least eighty, a shadowy matriarch, and the
960
00:54:56.840 --> 00:54:59.599
things around me bowed and scraped as she reached the
961
00:54:59.599 --> 00:55:01.119
floor and floated towards us.
962
00:55:01.280 --> 00:55:05.239
What's going on here? Where is that stupid girl? What's
963
00:55:05.360 --> 00:55:05.920
keeping her?
964
00:55:06.320 --> 00:55:08.719
Or missus vander Pant, Well, what is it?
965
00:55:09.039 --> 00:55:09.519
Who's this?
966
00:55:09.840 --> 00:55:13.519
Mister Roscoe, Missus vander Pant. May I present.
967
00:55:13.320 --> 00:55:16.480
Mister Snell, mister Snell, mister Charles Snell.
968
00:55:16.639 --> 00:55:20.280
Yes, yes, of course, mister Snell. He's a poet and
969
00:55:20.440 --> 00:55:21.360
he's come here to live.
970
00:55:22.000 --> 00:55:25.639
Oh he hell's Helsie.
971
00:55:25.079 --> 00:55:27.519
That's what he says, and I believe him.
972
00:55:27.880 --> 00:55:28.320
Well.
973
00:55:29.000 --> 00:55:32.480
He avoided the night watchman quite neatly before a beginner.
974
00:55:32.880 --> 00:55:35.480
Thank you very well.
975
00:55:35.920 --> 00:55:40.760
We shall see. A poet should find inspiration.
976
00:55:40.280 --> 00:55:44.519
Here, mister Snell. Missus vanderpant is our grand old lady.
977
00:55:45.360 --> 00:55:50.440
I am quite the oldest inhabitant here, mister Snell. Three
978
00:55:50.760 --> 00:55:55.960
mergers and a complete rebuilding that they didn't get.
979
00:55:55.880 --> 00:55:56.360
Rid of me.
980
00:55:57.840 --> 00:55:59.880
Where is Ella? Where is my blass?
981
00:56:00.039 --> 00:56:02.880
She's bringing it, Miss vanderbann O, terrible little creature.
982
00:56:03.440 --> 00:56:08.719
She is our foundling, mister Snell. She's not quite our sort?
983
00:56:09.400 --> 00:56:09.760
Is that?
984
00:56:09.800 --> 00:56:09.840
So?
985
00:56:10.519 --> 00:56:13.920
I have been here, mister Snell, ever since the terrible
986
00:56:14.039 --> 00:56:18.239
times of the eighties. I was a young girl and
987
00:56:18.920 --> 00:56:24.760
a beauty essay, and poor Papa lost his money. Blaces
988
00:56:24.800 --> 00:56:27.400
meant a love to a young girl in those days.
989
00:56:28.039 --> 00:56:31.559
So when I wasn't able to have a charger count,
990
00:56:32.079 --> 00:56:37.599
I came here for good. That's better than a charge account.
991
00:56:38.559 --> 00:56:41.559
I was quite alarmed when others began to come after
992
00:56:41.679 --> 00:56:45.400
the crash of nineteen hundred and seven, But it was
993
00:56:45.519 --> 00:56:51.519
the dear jug what'd you do? The colonel Missus Bilby.
994
00:56:53.000 --> 00:56:59.480
Missus Bilby writes place and comes of an old Philadelphia family.
995
00:57:00.079 --> 00:57:02.519
Oh you will find us quite nice here.
996
00:57:02.480 --> 00:57:03.239
Mister Snail.
997
00:57:03.559 --> 00:57:04.400
I'm sure I will.
998
00:57:04.920 --> 00:57:09.159
And of course, all their young people came in nineteen
999
00:57:09.280 --> 00:57:15.760
twenty nine. Their poor papa's jumped from skyscrapers. They couldn't
1000
00:57:15.800 --> 00:57:18.760
bear to be without charge accounts either.
1001
00:57:19.280 --> 00:57:22.119
Do you mean all these people live here?
1002
00:57:22.360 --> 00:57:24.960
Oh? And many more? You shall meet them all later.
1003
00:57:25.400 --> 00:57:27.760
Oh, here come Zettler with my block.
1004
00:57:27.840 --> 00:57:29.320
Come come your stupid thing.
1005
00:57:29.599 --> 00:57:31.519
Missus vander Penn is waiting, Yes.
1006
00:57:31.400 --> 00:57:34.079
Ma'am, Yes, sir, I'm coming as fast as I can.
1007
00:57:34.199 --> 00:57:36.559
Now, be careful, don't spit it.
1008
00:57:36.719 --> 00:57:37.920
But she's young.
1009
00:57:38.280 --> 00:57:40.320
Well, of course she is a little younger than most
1010
00:57:40.360 --> 00:57:40.719
of them, and.
1011
00:57:40.719 --> 00:57:42.239
She she's different.
1012
00:57:43.480 --> 00:57:48.440
She's beautiful, mister Snow, ella is Missus vonderpurns me.
1013
00:57:48.880 --> 00:57:51.440
That's right, all men, she's really not our sort at all.
1014
00:57:51.480 --> 00:57:53.119
You shouldn't say such things. She can hear you.
1015
00:57:53.119 --> 00:57:54.079
Oh, that doesn't murter.
1016
00:57:54.360 --> 00:57:56.960
You'll understand these things better after you've been here a while.
1017
00:57:56.960 --> 00:57:58.280
But it seems to me that you would.
1018
00:57:58.639 --> 00:58:04.000
Snow. We have certain rules here. They are necessary for
1019
00:58:04.159 --> 00:58:08.440
our survival. I'm sure you won't find it hard to
1020
00:58:08.639 --> 00:58:14.239
observe them. Yes, I should advise that you try. If
1021
00:58:14.239 --> 00:58:19.119
you do not, that would be most unfortunate, mister Snell,
1022
00:58:20.280 --> 00:58:23.000
most unfortunate for you.
1023
00:58:29.239 --> 00:58:33.559
October fifteenth. You can imagine my feelings last night. My
1024
00:58:33.639 --> 00:58:36.679
first thought was to escape as quickly as possible. In fact,
1025
00:58:36.719 --> 00:58:38.639
I planned to wait till morning when the store opened,
1026
00:58:38.960 --> 00:58:41.119
then quit my hiding place, mingle with the crowds, and
1027
00:58:41.199 --> 00:58:45.559
leave Braces forever. But just at dawn, mister Rascoe brought
1028
00:58:45.559 --> 00:58:48.320
me a cup of coffee, which must have been drugged
1029
00:58:48.679 --> 00:58:51.719
for I fell asleep, and when I awoke, I found
1030
00:58:51.719 --> 00:58:55.360
I had slept all day, and night was closing over
1031
00:58:55.400 --> 00:58:55.840
the store.
1032
00:58:55.920 --> 00:58:56.440
Once more.
1033
00:59:02.159 --> 00:59:09.079
Later, I've spent my second night here. I saw Ella again, Ella,
1034
00:59:09.880 --> 00:59:13.920
the pearl of this remote, fantastic cave. She's not like
1035
00:59:13.960 --> 00:59:20.000
the others, a trifle pale, but otherwise normal, inhuman and beautiful.
1036
00:59:20.480 --> 00:59:24.360
A child of perhaps eighteen, She's the only thing that
1037
00:59:24.440 --> 00:59:35.960
makes this nightmare bearable. October twentieth. Escape seems almost impossible.
1038
00:59:35.960 --> 00:59:38.440
There's a very effective burglar alarm system, and the doors
1039
00:59:38.480 --> 00:59:41.880
are all carefully guarded, but that's nothing compared to the
1040
00:59:41.960 --> 00:59:45.360
dark men. Who are the dark men? I don't know,
1041
00:59:46.119 --> 00:59:50.000
but they threaten any transgressor. With these dark men, I
1042
00:59:50.039 --> 00:59:52.800
shall try to discover who they are. At least I
1043
00:59:52.800 --> 00:59:55.199
am sure I'm watched, though they've begun to trust me. Now,
1044
00:59:56.119 --> 00:59:58.840
speaking to the night watchman would be suicide, even if
1045
00:59:58.880 --> 01:00:01.320
he believed my fantastic story or didn't shoot me as
1046
01:00:01.320 --> 01:00:04.119
a burglar. I'm convinced that neither eleanor I could get
1047
01:00:04.119 --> 01:00:06.719
out of here alive. She and the night watchmen are
1048
01:00:06.760 --> 01:00:10.039
the only real people here. And how the others hate
1049
01:00:10.039 --> 01:00:10.760
the night watchman?
1050
01:00:10.840 --> 01:00:13.960
Oh d s Burger creature, you reeks of the course.
1051
01:00:14.000 --> 01:00:16.559
So oh, come now, Missus Bilby. He's really a personable
1052
01:00:16.599 --> 01:00:19.239
young man, very young for a night watchman.
1053
01:00:18.960 --> 01:00:22.440
Mister Snow. Sometimes I wonder about your taste.
1054
01:00:22.679 --> 01:00:25.920
You mustn't stay so much to yourself, mister Snall, You
1055
01:00:26.039 --> 01:00:28.320
must become better acquainted with our wage.
1056
01:00:28.559 --> 01:00:29.239
It's old man.
1057
01:00:29.400 --> 01:00:31.599
You's come to the plate tonight. You're going to be
1058
01:00:31.760 --> 01:00:35.920
entertained with one of Missus Bilby's tragic comedies, love and dule,
1059
01:00:36.000 --> 01:00:36.960
and I'm sure you'll enjoy.
1060
01:00:37.119 --> 01:00:37.960
I'm sure I will.
1061
01:00:38.000 --> 01:00:39.800
It's really a festive occasion.
1062
01:00:39.840 --> 01:00:42.960
You know, Waabakers is coming over Wannamakers.
1063
01:00:43.039 --> 01:00:46.000
Yes, the entire colony over at Wannamakers is coming here
1064
01:00:46.039 --> 01:00:47.079
and must to attend the plate.
1065
01:00:47.159 --> 01:00:49.840
You mean there are people living in other stories, Oh dear, Yes.
1066
01:00:49.679 --> 01:00:50.199
Didn't you know?
1067
01:00:50.880 --> 01:00:54.599
Of course, the best people live in graces and wanna makers.
1068
01:00:54.599 --> 01:00:57.920
Oh come now, missus Bilby, there's some very nice people
1069
01:00:57.920 --> 01:00:58.599
at Alphons.
1070
01:00:59.039 --> 01:00:59.960
I beg your pardon.
1071
01:01:00.679 --> 01:01:04.400
Oh hello Ella, goodn missus Bilby.
1072
01:01:04.480 --> 01:01:06.480
Well, what is it, please, ma'am?
1073
01:01:06.960 --> 01:01:08.519
I'd so love to see your playing tonight.
1074
01:01:09.320 --> 01:01:10.199
May I have your please?
1075
01:01:10.280 --> 01:01:10.840
Certainly not?
1076
01:01:11.480 --> 01:01:14.440
You know better than that, you stupid creature. You know
1077
01:01:14.519 --> 01:01:17.440
where you belong in the basement for the garbage can.
1078
01:01:17.599 --> 01:01:18.760
But Missus Bilby couldn't.
1079
01:01:18.760 --> 01:01:22.000
Mister Snell, Ella, you're becoming entirely too forward of late.
1080
01:01:22.960 --> 01:01:27.760
I'd advise you to watch your step. Remember the dark Man.
1081
01:01:28.079 --> 01:01:30.880
Oh no, please, mister Roscoll. I'll be good, I promise
1082
01:01:30.920 --> 01:01:33.239
I will. No, please, don't send for the dark Man.
1083
01:01:33.440 --> 01:01:34.519
I'm sorry, Missus Bilby.
1084
01:01:34.599 --> 01:01:35.760
Excuse Ella, come.
1085
01:01:35.599 --> 01:01:38.639
Back, mister Snell. You forget yourself. Let her go?
1086
01:01:38.719 --> 01:01:40.519
But how can you treat her like that? Why do
1087
01:01:40.559 --> 01:01:43.840
you always frighten her? And what is all this about
1088
01:01:43.880 --> 01:01:44.440
the dark man?
1089
01:01:44.840 --> 01:01:45.880
Wealthy dark?
1090
01:01:46.079 --> 01:01:50.599
Oh please, mister Roscoll, not now, you'll spoiler whole evening.
1091
01:01:51.159 --> 01:01:53.519
And I do so want mister Snell to enjoy my
1092
01:01:53.639 --> 01:01:56.400
plane very well later.
1093
01:01:56.559 --> 01:01:59.480
But I want to know about the dark Man lay date,
1094
01:02:07.960 --> 01:02:11.800
October twenty First, at last, I found an opportunity to
1095
01:02:11.800 --> 01:02:14.880
speak to Ella alone. I hadn't dared to speak to
1096
01:02:14.920 --> 01:02:18.000
her before. Here one has a sense always of pale
1097
01:02:18.039 --> 01:02:20.880
eyes secretly watching. But last night at the play I
1098
01:02:20.920 --> 01:02:23.840
induced a fit of hiccups as I anticipated. I was
1099
01:02:23.880 --> 01:02:26.400
sternly reprimanded and told to go and secrete myself in
1100
01:02:26.440 --> 01:02:29.000
the basement where the night watchmen wouldn't hear me. This
1101
01:02:29.199 --> 01:02:33.760
was exactly what I had planned. I went to the basement. There,
1102
01:02:33.800 --> 01:02:36.679
in the darkness, among the garbage.
1103
01:02:36.199 --> 01:02:38.280
Cans and the rats, I heard.
1104
01:02:38.079 --> 01:02:43.800
Sobbing, Ella, Ella, Ella, is that you?
1105
01:02:44.360 --> 01:02:44.599
Yes?
1106
01:02:45.559 --> 01:02:49.079
Why are you crying? What is it? Ella?
1107
01:02:49.159 --> 01:02:53.159
They wouldn't even let me see the play? Is that all,
1108
01:02:53.760 --> 01:02:56.800
mister Snell? I'm so unhappy you're there.
1109
01:02:57.320 --> 01:02:58.159
You mustn't cry.
1110
01:02:58.400 --> 01:03:02.559
You're the only one, the only one who's kind La.
1111
01:03:02.599 --> 01:03:05.679
Why are you here? Why do they treat you so differently?
1112
01:03:06.000 --> 01:03:09.000
Because I'm not like them? I didn't choose to come here.
1113
01:03:09.400 --> 01:03:10.519
You mean you're held prisoner?
1114
01:03:10.719 --> 01:03:14.000
Yes, you see, I was only six. I came here
1115
01:03:14.039 --> 01:03:16.639
on a shopping tour with my mother. I got lost
1116
01:03:16.679 --> 01:03:19.320
and fell asleep behind the counter. It was dark when
1117
01:03:19.360 --> 01:03:21.920
I awoke and they found me. Some of them wanted
1118
01:03:21.960 --> 01:03:24.360
to send for the dark men because they were afraid
1119
01:03:24.400 --> 01:03:27.239
I would tell on them, but Missus Vanderpant said no,
1120
01:03:27.480 --> 01:03:30.119
I could stay and be your maid. I've been here
1121
01:03:30.159 --> 01:03:31.360
ever since since.
1122
01:03:31.079 --> 01:03:34.559
You was six. Haven't you ever tried to get away?
1123
01:03:35.079 --> 01:03:40.000
No, I don't know anything about out there. I wouldn't
1124
01:03:40.039 --> 01:03:44.800
know what to do. Besides, I'm afraid if anyone tries
1125
01:03:44.840 --> 01:03:46.800
to get out, they send for the dark men.
1126
01:03:47.320 --> 01:03:48.639
Ella, who are the dark men?
1127
01:03:48.920 --> 01:03:53.039
Don't you know? Oh, it's horrible. Tell me you know
1128
01:03:53.119 --> 01:03:56.119
how people live in all the stores it Gimbals and Bloomingdale.
1129
01:03:56.199 --> 01:03:56.840
Yes, yes, I know.
1130
01:03:57.360 --> 01:04:03.519
Well, the dark men lived the undertakers good Heavens, and
1131
01:04:03.599 --> 01:04:06.840
whenever someone dies or breaks the rules, when a burglar
1132
01:04:06.880 --> 01:04:09.760
gets in and sees these people and might tell, they
1133
01:04:09.800 --> 01:04:11.079
send for the dark man.
1134
01:04:12.039 --> 01:04:12.559
Horrible.
1135
01:04:12.800 --> 01:04:14.480
They put the body in the butcher shop and the
1136
01:04:14.480 --> 01:04:19.079
food department, and then the dark men come. I saw
1137
01:04:19.119 --> 01:04:19.599
them once.
1138
01:04:20.400 --> 01:04:21.239
It was terrible.
1139
01:04:21.800 --> 01:04:22.440
What do they do?
1140
01:04:23.360 --> 01:04:25.559
They go in where the dead person is. They have
1141
01:04:25.599 --> 01:04:28.320
wax with them and all sorts of things, and when
1142
01:04:28.320 --> 01:04:31.280
they're gone, there's just a wax model left on the counter.
1143
01:04:32.039 --> 01:04:34.960
Then our people put a frock on it or bathing suit.
1144
01:04:35.440 --> 01:04:37.559
Mix it up with the other wax models in the windows,
1145
01:04:38.159 --> 01:04:39.119
and nobody ever knows.
1146
01:04:39.159 --> 01:04:42.559
Ell you mean all these dummies around us.
1147
01:04:42.519 --> 01:04:46.039
All not all of them. But if you displease these people,
1148
01:04:47.159 --> 01:04:48.559
same thing will happen to you.
1149
01:04:57.519 --> 01:05:01.599
October thirtieth. I haven't kept up my journal. Writing has
1150
01:05:01.599 --> 01:05:05.039
been out of the question once more. I'm frozen with terror,
1151
01:05:06.199 --> 01:05:08.679
but not for myself, now for Ella.
1152
01:05:09.920 --> 01:05:10.639
They hate her.
1153
01:05:11.159 --> 01:05:13.320
Anytime they might turn against her and send for the
1154
01:05:13.440 --> 01:05:16.920
dark men. My mind is filled with her. I dream
1155
01:05:16.960 --> 01:05:19.760
of her every day. I'd live to see her at night.
1156
01:05:20.800 --> 01:05:23.400
We've managed it several times. They trust me now and
1157
01:05:23.480 --> 01:05:26.880
let me roam about without interference. Finally, tonight I met
1158
01:05:26.920 --> 01:05:33.400
her again and said it, Ella, I love you. Oh Charles,
1159
01:05:33.440 --> 01:05:37.159
I love you Ella. Let's get married or whatever they
1160
01:05:37.159 --> 01:05:39.199
do here. Then we can live together in my home
1161
01:05:39.199 --> 01:05:42.480
in the carpet department. They wouldn't dare hurt you then,
1162
01:05:43.039 --> 01:05:46.199
Charles to think so dismayed. If you like, we'll go
1163
01:05:46.199 --> 01:05:49.320
away from here. Maybe we can get transferred to to
1164
01:05:49.360 --> 01:05:51.480
Bergdorf Goodman's overlooking Central Park.
1165
01:05:51.719 --> 01:05:53.840
Don't Charles, don't listen.
1166
01:05:53.599 --> 01:05:54.239
But I love you.
1167
01:05:56.119 --> 01:05:58.719
Ella. You're not in love with.
1168
01:05:58.639 --> 01:06:00.880
Someone else, Yes, Charles, else I am.
1169
01:06:01.519 --> 01:06:06.280
But who I thought you hated them all? It must
1170
01:06:06.280 --> 01:06:08.079
be Roscoe. He's the only one that's young enough.
1171
01:06:08.239 --> 01:06:11.920
Oh no, Charles, not Roscoe, especially not him. I do
1172
01:06:12.000 --> 01:06:13.840
hate them all. They make me shudder.
1173
01:06:14.280 --> 01:06:14.800
Well who is it?
1174
01:06:14.880 --> 01:06:19.000
Then it's him who the night watchman?
1175
01:06:20.159 --> 01:06:22.280
No, impossible, I love him.
1176
01:06:22.679 --> 01:06:25.719
He smells of the sun. Ella, Oh, it was wonderful
1177
01:06:25.719 --> 01:06:27.880
the way it happened. Don't tell on me, Charles, that
1178
01:06:27.920 --> 01:06:28.559
they'll punish me.
1179
01:06:28.800 --> 01:06:29.079
No.
1180
01:06:29.079 --> 01:06:31.880
No, I was careless, and there he was, coming around
1181
01:06:31.880 --> 01:06:35.199
the corner in the ladies lingerie department. I was caught.
1182
01:06:35.840 --> 01:06:38.800
There were only some wax models in there, underthings. There
1183
01:06:38.840 --> 01:06:41.800
was nothing else to do. I slipped off my dress
1184
01:06:41.840 --> 01:06:47.599
and stood still. Oh see, he stopped and looked at
1185
01:06:47.599 --> 01:06:49.840
me and Charles.
1186
01:06:49.840 --> 01:06:50.559
He spoke to me.
1187
01:06:51.280 --> 01:06:54.159
He said, say, honey, I wish they made him like
1188
01:06:54.199 --> 01:06:56.840
you on eighth Avenue. Charles, wasn't that a lovely thing
1189
01:06:56.840 --> 01:06:57.239
to say?
1190
01:06:58.639 --> 01:07:00.119
Personally? I should have said part.
1191
01:07:00.840 --> 01:07:03.800
It doesn't matter what street. It was a lovely thing
1192
01:07:03.840 --> 01:07:04.159
to say.
1193
01:07:04.239 --> 01:07:07.159
But what can you do about him? Ella, He belongs
1194
01:07:07.159 --> 01:07:08.000
to another world.
1195
01:07:08.239 --> 01:07:12.880
Yes, to wait Avenue. I want to go there, Charles
1196
01:07:12.880 --> 01:07:14.920
are you really my friend, Yes, of course I am.
1197
01:07:15.239 --> 01:07:17.800
And I'll tell you. I'm going to stand there again
1198
01:07:17.800 --> 01:07:20.519
in the lingerie department, so we'll see me and then
1199
01:07:20.920 --> 01:07:22.159
perhaps so speak to me again.
1200
01:07:22.280 --> 01:07:23.920
Ella, you're only torturing yourself.
1201
01:07:24.079 --> 01:07:28.519
No, because this time I shall answer him. He'll take me.
1202
01:07:28.480 --> 01:07:32.360
Away, take you away. Oh no, Ella, I couldn't bear that.
1203
01:07:32.400 --> 01:07:33.320
You don't love him.
1204
01:07:33.880 --> 01:07:35.800
You only think you do because you think he'll take
1205
01:07:35.840 --> 01:07:37.239
you out of here, But you don't know that he
1206
01:07:37.320 --> 01:07:39.320
will and I will.
1207
01:07:39.360 --> 01:07:41.079
Ella, I've made up my mind.
1208
01:07:41.239 --> 01:07:43.400
No, Charles, I couldn't let you do it, even if
1209
01:07:43.440 --> 01:07:45.079
I loved you. You couldn't do it, Charles.
1210
01:07:45.079 --> 01:07:45.440
Why not?
1211
01:07:45.840 --> 01:07:50.880
Because you really belong here? You're you've become one of.
1212
01:07:50.920 --> 01:07:52.840
Them now, Ella, you mustn't say that it's.
1213
01:07:52.679 --> 01:07:56.639
True, And Charles, I got to go. There's someone watching
1214
01:07:56.639 --> 01:07:57.519
as I feel wait.
1215
01:07:57.559 --> 01:07:58.719
Ella, goodbye, Charles.
1216
01:07:58.920 --> 01:08:04.800
Ella back, Ella, you'll arouse the night watchman Rascoe.
1217
01:08:05.480 --> 01:08:11.280
Yes, love can be very upsetting, can't it. You heard
1218
01:08:11.519 --> 01:08:17.399
it just the last moment, or so very touching. Yet
1219
01:08:17.479 --> 01:08:21.720
it's understandable. I've been attracted to Wella myself. So she
1220
01:08:21.800 --> 01:08:22.319
loves another.
1221
01:08:22.399 --> 01:08:22.640
Huh?
1222
01:08:23.279 --> 01:08:23.640
Too bad?
1223
01:08:23.680 --> 01:08:24.479
Old boy?
1224
01:08:24.840 --> 01:08:28.399
Who could it be? Could it be that I am
1225
01:08:28.479 --> 01:08:30.560
the cause of your heartbreak.
1226
01:08:30.239 --> 01:08:31.800
And flatter yourself too much.
1227
01:08:31.880 --> 01:08:36.560
Rascal, Then whom the old judge? Certainly, not the colonel, hardly,
1228
01:08:36.640 --> 01:08:40.439
none of those, not one of the customers.
1229
01:08:40.479 --> 01:08:41.680
She loves the night watchman.
1230
01:08:42.039 --> 01:08:47.439
Can you imagine that she loves them? Oh, Rascal, I
1231
01:08:47.439 --> 01:08:50.840
shouldn't have said that. It's not true. At least I
1232
01:08:50.840 --> 01:08:51.560
don't think it's true.
1233
01:08:51.600 --> 01:08:52.840
You wouldn't.
1234
01:08:53.880 --> 01:08:54.479
Rascale.
1235
01:08:55.000 --> 01:08:56.840
You said you loved her too. You wouldn't do anything
1236
01:08:56.920 --> 01:09:01.239
tell anybody. This is a secret between us, between friends,
1237
01:09:01.279 --> 01:09:01.640
isn't it.
1238
01:09:02.399 --> 01:09:06.399
Of course? Oldly as secret as the grave.
1239
01:09:07.119 --> 01:09:10.000
She's young. Perhaps he'll leave and you'll forget him in time.
1240
01:09:10.000 --> 01:09:11.239
Who knows, perhaps you'll learn.
1241
01:09:11.119 --> 01:09:16.560
To love you or me, of course, in time, and we'll.
1242
01:09:16.399 --> 01:09:18.239
Figure a way to keep her safe.
1243
01:09:17.920 --> 01:09:22.920
Here, absolutely see, And don't you worry about it. Tom
1244
01:09:23.000 --> 01:09:33.760
muston time forbid. Good morning, mister Snow.
1245
01:09:38.760 --> 01:09:43.159
Early evening November fourth, I was a fool. I should
1246
01:09:43.199 --> 01:09:46.199
have known he couldn't be trusted. He must have gone
1247
01:09:46.199 --> 01:09:48.199
straight to missus van der Pant. Because this evening the
1248
01:09:48.239 --> 01:09:54.039
atmosphere has changed. People flicker to and fro, smiling nervously horribly,
1249
01:09:54.079 --> 01:09:57.720
with a sort of frightened sadistic exultation. An informal dance
1250
01:09:57.720 --> 01:09:59.720
in the record department has been called off. I can't
1251
01:09:59.720 --> 01:10:02.439
find I'm going out again now to look for her.
1252
01:10:04.680 --> 01:10:05.039
Rascal.
1253
01:10:05.119 --> 01:10:05.880
What have you done with that?
1254
01:10:06.079 --> 01:10:06.359
Ssh?
1255
01:10:06.760 --> 01:10:10.239
Quiet, old boy the night Watchman don't care what have
1256
01:10:10.279 --> 01:10:12.800
you done. Whatever I did was for your own good
1257
01:10:12.840 --> 01:10:14.079
as well as for the good of us all.
1258
01:10:14.640 --> 01:10:21.239
Wait a minute, what is that? What are those people carrying.
1259
01:10:23.319 --> 01:10:25.560
Ella? She's tied up.
1260
01:10:25.560 --> 01:10:27.399
They're carrying Ella.
1261
01:10:28.039 --> 01:10:28.279
Ella.
1262
01:10:28.479 --> 01:10:32.119
Stop the child, stop it. Don't stop, stop child, stop it.
1263
01:10:32.159 --> 01:10:33.720
You'll arouse the night Watchman over there.
1264
01:10:34.079 --> 01:10:34.880
They're taking her.
1265
01:10:34.760 --> 01:10:37.199
Into the butcher shop.
1266
01:10:41.960 --> 01:10:42.319
Rascal.
1267
01:10:43.439 --> 01:10:47.560
Yes, those are the dark men.
1268
01:10:50.000 --> 01:10:50.880
Good Lord.
1269
01:11:01.039 --> 01:11:01.520
Midnight.
1270
01:11:02.960 --> 01:11:08.319
I'm scribbling this last entry hurriedly. They are in there,
1271
01:11:08.319 --> 01:11:11.960
in the butcher shop with Ella, the dark men.
1272
01:11:14.039 --> 01:11:15.119
There's only one thing to do.
1273
01:11:16.439 --> 01:11:18.680
I'm going to find the night Watchman and tell him
1274
01:11:19.520 --> 01:11:23.520
he and I will save her if we can, and
1275
01:11:23.600 --> 01:11:28.199
if we are overpowered, well, I will leave this pad
1276
01:11:28.239 --> 01:11:31.159
on the stationary counter tomorrow.
1277
01:11:32.239 --> 01:11:33.840
If I live, I will recover it.
1278
01:11:35.840 --> 01:11:39.640
If I do not, whoever finds this and reads it,
1279
01:11:41.439 --> 01:11:46.640
look in the store windows. Look for three new wax dummies,
1280
01:11:47.479 --> 01:11:53.199
two men, one rather sensitive looking and a girl. She
1281
01:11:53.279 --> 01:11:57.319
has blonde hair and blue eyes and her nose turns
1282
01:11:57.399 --> 01:12:01.560
up a little. Look for us, and then find them,
1283
01:12:03.199 --> 01:12:09.239
smoke them out, exterminate them, avenge us.
1284
01:12:10.239 --> 01:12:11.800
Oh's Sam, isn't it horrible?
1285
01:12:12.199 --> 01:12:14.239
Ah?
1286
01:12:14.479 --> 01:12:18.319
We gotta do something, tell somebody something, Sam? What do
1287
01:12:18.439 --> 01:12:18.840
we do?
1288
01:12:19.560 --> 01:12:22.000
Do? Nothing? Go to bed?
1289
01:12:22.880 --> 01:12:23.479
What's Sam?
1290
01:12:23.800 --> 01:12:24.680
Who havever wrote?
1291
01:12:24.720 --> 01:12:24.800
This?
1292
01:12:24.880 --> 01:12:27.439
Is sure got a weird sense of humor? It's probably
1293
01:12:27.439 --> 01:12:29.680
some clerk Donald Bracy's wanna be fired?
1294
01:12:30.279 --> 01:12:34.560
But you you mean you think it's just a story?
1295
01:12:34.960 --> 01:12:35.680
Are you kidding?
1296
01:12:36.359 --> 01:12:37.720
He don't believe this stuff?
1297
01:12:37.720 --> 01:12:39.279
Do you?
1298
01:12:39.359 --> 01:12:40.079
Well? I don't know what.
1299
01:12:40.560 --> 01:12:44.520
Oh, forget it, baby, snap out of it. I shouldn't
1300
01:12:44.560 --> 01:12:46.600
leave you alone. You get too many ideas when I
1301
01:12:46.600 --> 01:12:47.720
go out bulling at night.
1302
01:12:48.359 --> 01:12:51.520
But don't you think maybe we ought to just do
1303
01:12:52.199 --> 01:12:54.720
take it back and show somebody or not just.
1304
01:12:54.760 --> 01:12:57.560
Not worth a bottle that laugh at your baby? They
1305
01:12:57.640 --> 01:12:58.960
think you are crazy or something.
1306
01:13:00.199 --> 01:13:03.520
Yeah, yeah, I guess you're right.
1307
01:13:04.680 --> 01:13:05.920
I guess I was silly.
1308
01:13:06.239 --> 01:13:06.960
I forget it.
1309
01:13:07.920 --> 01:13:09.279
Oh, come on, let's go to bed.
1310
01:13:09.600 --> 01:13:14.319
I'm tired, Okay, okay, Sam? Gee, you know that for
1311
01:13:14.359 --> 01:13:15.720
a while I sure was scared.
1312
01:13:17.359 --> 01:13:18.319
I even forgot what.
1313
01:13:18.319 --> 01:13:21.079
I was going to tell you, Sam, I found the
1314
01:13:21.359 --> 01:13:26.319
cutest dress today only nineteen ninety five. Yeah, yeah, it
1315
01:13:26.399 --> 01:13:28.119
was in the window with Bracy's.
1316
01:13:28.680 --> 01:13:30.479
It was on a beautiful little.
1317
01:13:30.239 --> 01:13:38.520
Wax model with blond hair, blue eyes, in a turned
1318
01:13:38.600 --> 01:13:56.439
up nose, and there was two men standing beside.
1319
01:13:59.640 --> 01:14:03.439
Escape is produced and directed by William N. Robeson and
1320
01:14:03.520 --> 01:14:08.199
Tonight brought You Evening Primrose by John Collier, adapted for
1321
01:14:08.359 --> 01:14:12.159
radio by John Duncle, with Elliot Lewis as Charles Snell,
1322
01:14:12.640 --> 01:14:16.720
Paul Frees as Roscoe, and Pat Lowry as Ella. The
1323
01:14:16.800 --> 01:14:20.279
special musical score was conceived and conducted by Sifure.
1324
01:14:25.279 --> 01:14:31.000
Next week, after you've had a tough day at the
1325
01:14:31.199 --> 01:14:37.279
office or leaning over a hot stove, when your four
1326
01:14:37.399 --> 01:14:39.800
wars seem to be closing in on you.
1327
01:14:41.319 --> 01:14:42.760
Next week, at the same.
1328
01:14:42.600 --> 01:14:44.920
Time, when you want to get away from it all,
1329
01:14:46.760 --> 01:14:56.640
we again offer you Escape.
1330
01:15:10.159 --> 01:15:36.079
This is CBS, the Columbia Broadcasting System.
1331
01:15:36.159 --> 01:15:42.079
Hm hmm, my dear, it seems you could use a
1332
01:15:42.079 --> 01:15:46.920
bit of freshening in your team. I'm happy, of course,
1333
01:15:46.960 --> 01:15:52.159
to oblige. There's so much good to drink, so much
1334
01:15:52.199 --> 01:15:55.720
good to to experience.
1335
01:15:58.279 --> 01:15:58.600
M h.
1336
01:16:00.560 --> 01:16:07.239
That is what the night is all about. Otherwise, you
1337
01:16:07.520 --> 01:16:17.840
end up fearful, worry, unwelcome. You begin to feel sort
1338
01:16:17.840 --> 01:16:58.479
of like five canaries in the room.
1339
01:16:40.800 --> 01:17:19.199
And this is the man in black. You're again to
1340
01:17:19.279 --> 01:17:25.319
introduce Columbia's program Suspense. If you have been with us
1341
01:17:25.319 --> 01:17:29.079
on these Tuesday nights, you will know that suspense is
1342
01:17:29.119 --> 01:17:34.880
compounded of mystery and suspicion and dangerous adventure. In this
1343
01:17:35.079 --> 01:17:39.880
series are tails calculated to intrigue you, stir your nerves,
1344
01:17:40.439 --> 01:17:43.800
to offer you a precarious situation, and then withhold a
1345
01:17:43.880 --> 01:17:48.319
solution until the last possible moment. And so, with Five
1346
01:17:48.359 --> 01:17:50.800
Canaries in the Room and the performances of On a
1347
01:17:50.840 --> 01:17:54.960
Month's Nazenita osamasnas CP, and with Lee Bowman as Ronald Denham,
1348
01:17:54.960 --> 01:17:57.399
who tells the story, we again hope to keep you
1349
01:17:57.479 --> 01:17:59.520
in suspense.
1350
01:18:12.239 --> 01:18:14.960
The trouble was you see that the whole apartment vanished.
1351
01:18:15.720 --> 01:18:19.520
It's true, a flat disappeared straight out of that apartment house,
1352
01:18:20.119 --> 01:18:23.680
and the dead man disappeared with it. No, I'm not crazy,
1353
01:18:24.439 --> 01:18:26.319
And in spite of what they said, I hadn't taken
1354
01:18:26.359 --> 01:18:29.840
too many drinks. You see, I was getting married to
1355
01:18:29.880 --> 01:18:32.760
Anita in another two weeks, and Jimmy Westlake gave a
1356
01:18:32.760 --> 01:18:36.079
bachelor party for me. Hang it, it's a situation that
1357
01:18:36.159 --> 01:18:39.119
might have happened to you. The party was at the
1358
01:18:39.119 --> 01:18:41.960
old Captain Bells Club on Lower Fifth Avenue, and it
1359
01:18:42.119 --> 01:18:45.760
wasn't a brawl. Jimmy Westlake was in the chair, I admit,
1360
01:18:46.359 --> 01:18:49.520
but nothing could have been more quiet, more dignified.
1361
01:18:52.680 --> 01:19:05.119
Man, why are you why? My god?
1362
01:19:05.960 --> 01:19:12.279
Spider man at the chairman wants to say something, gentleman.
1363
01:19:10.520 --> 01:19:11.960
This is a solemn occasion.
1364
01:19:12.600 --> 01:19:14.439
Those dopes over there will kindly get away from the
1365
01:19:14.479 --> 01:19:15.800
piano and sit down at the table.
1366
01:19:15.840 --> 01:19:17.319
I have another toaster propos.
1367
01:19:17.880 --> 01:19:21.359
Excuse me, mister Westley, Excuse me, please say Kato?
1368
01:19:21.439 --> 01:19:21.840
What is it?
1369
01:19:22.039 --> 01:19:24.840
Excuse me, mister Westlake. But you ain't gonna bust the
1370
01:19:24.960 --> 01:19:26.399
glasses on this tool fish?
1371
01:19:26.520 --> 01:19:28.840
And why shouldn't we bust the glasses? Unclecado? Why shouldn't
1372
01:19:28.840 --> 01:19:29.600
we bust the glasses?
1373
01:19:29.640 --> 01:19:32.880
Oh but mister Westlake, if you keep on busting the glasses,
1374
01:19:32.960 --> 01:19:35.760
they ain't wan be no glasses left for Matt's side.
1375
01:19:35.760 --> 01:19:38.840
Eventuela know, we will simply start busting the plates.
1376
01:19:39.199 --> 01:19:42.239
Is that phara enough voice?
1377
01:19:44.239 --> 01:19:44.279
So?
1378
01:19:45.199 --> 01:19:45.560
Please?
1379
01:19:49.279 --> 01:19:51.159
Oh look, Jimmy, I do you think you'd better call
1380
01:19:51.239 --> 01:19:53.880
the gang? Donald lea quiet one. You're only the group
1381
01:19:54.119 --> 01:19:54.880
I know, Jimmy.
1382
01:19:54.920 --> 01:19:55.880
But gentlemen, I.
1383
01:19:55.800 --> 01:19:58.960
Regret to tell you this, but the protesting voice you
1384
01:19:59.119 --> 01:20:00.439
just heard was that about Guest.
1385
01:20:00.279 --> 01:20:03.039
Of Honor Ronald Denham.
1386
01:20:03.199 --> 01:20:05.560
Now we all know ron and we all like him,
1387
01:20:06.439 --> 01:20:09.479
but I am sorry to say he is not himself.
1388
01:20:10.319 --> 01:20:13.560
Where now is the terror of nightclubs? The chorus Girl's friend.
1389
01:20:14.520 --> 01:20:18.199
I say it to his face. He is sober, but
1390
01:20:18.479 --> 01:20:22.159
we like him. Just to say, friends, guests and bachelors,
1391
01:20:22.199 --> 01:20:23.920
I give you the groove.
1392
01:20:32.479 --> 01:20:35.079
Please, gentlemen, don't push the glasses.
1393
01:20:35.199 --> 01:20:37.199
Hey, come on, Ron, come on say if you were
1394
01:20:38.119 --> 01:20:41.439
get out. Look, boys, I thank you for all the
1395
01:20:41.479 --> 01:20:43.039
good words. And I don't want to be a wet
1396
01:20:43.079 --> 01:20:45.159
blanket on the party. But it's nearly midnight and I've
1397
01:20:45.199 --> 01:20:49.880
got to get home early. Don't you understand, boys, I'm
1398
01:20:49.880 --> 01:20:53.560
a reform character. Eh, how's fee latour? I haven't seen
1399
01:20:53.600 --> 01:20:56.159
Phoebe for over years. He doesn't mean anything to me anymore.
1400
01:20:56.159 --> 01:20:58.000
He thinks he does protest too much.
1401
01:20:58.359 --> 01:21:01.239
And now look, I'm marrying sweetest girl in the world.
1402
01:21:01.560 --> 01:21:04.760
But Anita is a little well straight lace, you know
1403
01:21:04.800 --> 01:21:12.960
how it is. What's more, there's my uncle Rufus. Why
1404
01:21:14.000 --> 01:21:18.279
what Anita and Uncle Rufus. Anita and Uncle Rufus have
1405
01:21:18.359 --> 01:21:21.079
apartments in the same building as I have, And what's more,
1406
01:21:21.119 --> 01:21:24.159
they're on the same floor. And that's not all. Tom Evans,
1407
01:21:24.159 --> 01:21:26.199
the fellow I share my plantam And where.
1408
01:21:25.960 --> 01:21:26.920
Is Tom Evans night?
1409
01:21:27.000 --> 01:21:28.000
What's the matter with him?
1410
01:21:28.199 --> 01:21:32.479
Tom works for Uncle Rufus and he doesn't drink? He
1411
01:21:32.920 --> 01:21:38.279
a fella, fellow? Why are two baboos?
1412
01:21:38.359 --> 01:21:42.960
Choir? Now?
1413
01:21:43.119 --> 01:21:46.399
Wait a minute, will you put yourselves in my plans?
1414
01:21:46.760 --> 01:21:49.399
My girl and my uncle and my best friend Tom
1415
01:21:49.399 --> 01:21:51.399
Evans are all expecting me to come home from this
1416
01:21:51.439 --> 01:21:54.359
party in an ash cart and I'm gonna pool him
1417
01:21:56.000 --> 01:21:57.359
and I have a heart, can't.
1418
01:21:57.399 --> 01:21:59.760
You must be a pretty tough ague, is me?
1419
01:22:00.199 --> 01:22:00.319
Oh?
1420
01:22:00.359 --> 01:22:02.239
He is all right, But after his first million dollars
1421
01:22:02.239 --> 01:22:02.920
it went to his head.
1422
01:22:03.439 --> 01:22:05.000
Has he got any human weaknesses?
1423
01:22:05.199 --> 01:22:05.479
Yes?
1424
01:22:05.520 --> 01:22:09.159
He keeps canaries. Oh no, not the kind of canaries
1425
01:22:09.159 --> 01:22:11.199
you're thinking. I mean the kind of go tweet tweet
1426
01:22:11.239 --> 01:22:11.720
in caje.
1427
01:22:13.119 --> 01:22:14.279
Oh what they use?
1428
01:22:14.880 --> 01:22:15.960
What do you say, gentlemen?
1429
01:22:16.119 --> 01:22:18.199
Shall we allow this pure in heart to wend his
1430
01:22:18.279 --> 01:22:18.680
way home?
1431
01:22:18.920 --> 01:22:21.640
He's got it great for your pride, that's right, Ron.
1432
01:22:22.079 --> 01:22:24.359
Can you as a chivalrous gentleman, refuse to drink to
1433
01:22:24.399 --> 01:22:24.840
the bride.
1434
01:22:25.159 --> 01:22:26.760
You can't when you know you can't.
1435
01:22:26.880 --> 01:22:29.800
Uncle Kato, Yes, sir, mister Westley, get a beer mug
1436
01:22:29.800 --> 01:22:31.840
from the sideboard there, fill it with champagne.
1437
01:22:32.039 --> 01:22:33.239
I wait a minute, Yes.
1438
01:22:33.199 --> 01:22:33.960
One more drink?
1439
01:22:34.000 --> 01:22:34.520
Will pert you?
1440
01:22:34.600 --> 01:22:34.960
Surely?
1441
01:22:35.159 --> 01:22:36.079
Just one little drink?
1442
01:22:36.319 --> 01:22:37.399
Oh no, I suppose not.
1443
01:22:37.600 --> 01:22:38.680
You let off Uncle Kato.
1444
01:22:38.920 --> 01:22:41.000
All right, I'll have one more drink just in honor
1445
01:22:41.000 --> 01:22:45.239
of the occasion. But that's all, you understand, that's absolutely.
1446
01:22:44.560 --> 01:23:11.359
All, Yes, sir, oh nine eight Park Avenue.
1447
01:23:12.359 --> 01:23:13.560
Hey, Hey, hey, missed up?
1448
01:23:13.600 --> 01:23:15.079
Missed that. I'm I wake up?
1449
01:23:17.119 --> 01:23:18.159
What's wrong your home?
1450
01:23:18.199 --> 01:23:18.439
Mister?
1451
01:23:18.640 --> 01:23:19.800
This is the apartment house.
1452
01:23:20.239 --> 01:23:23.039
Yeah, yes, of course, thanks to go.
1453
01:23:24.079 --> 01:23:29.359
Now are you sure you're all right? Yes, I'm all right.
1454
01:23:29.439 --> 01:23:31.720
I have been to a bachelor party.
1455
01:23:32.039 --> 01:23:32.880
Sure, I know.
1456
01:23:33.000 --> 01:23:34.359
We'll take it easy now.
1457
01:23:34.920 --> 01:23:39.560
I can't see straight. The whole street's going around. The
1458
01:23:39.640 --> 01:23:41.880
funny part is I only had a couple of drinks.
1459
01:23:42.520 --> 01:23:44.840
They must have put something in that last.
1460
01:23:45.119 --> 01:23:47.239
Well, it's not my business, mister, but I wouldn't tell
1461
01:23:47.279 --> 01:23:48.279
that of the missus.
1462
01:23:48.000 --> 01:23:48.520
If I was you.
1463
01:23:48.720 --> 01:23:49.800
It's absolutely true.
1464
01:23:49.920 --> 01:23:52.520
You're sure I know why, and I haven't got a missus,
1465
01:23:52.560 --> 01:23:56.159
not yet. My word of honor. I'm a reformed character.
1466
01:23:56.239 --> 01:23:58.520
I have nothing to do with any woman except.
1467
01:23:59.840 --> 01:24:03.520
I live and breathe. It is Ronald Jannam Fiffy Latour.
1468
01:24:03.680 --> 01:24:06.600
Oh sure, how good it is to see you. I
1469
01:24:06.680 --> 01:24:10.199
look everywhere for you. I cry my eyes out, but
1470
01:24:10.319 --> 01:24:12.399
I don't find you. What are you doing here?
1471
01:24:12.880 --> 01:24:14.560
I live here, Fife, I moved.
1472
01:24:14.800 --> 01:24:16.119
Oh you try to get away from me?
1473
01:24:16.279 --> 01:24:16.520
Yes?
1474
01:24:16.840 --> 01:24:21.600
Yes and no. No, I mean here's your money driver, night,
1475
01:24:21.800 --> 01:24:24.159
I mean night, sir. I'm yours lady.
1476
01:24:24.439 --> 01:24:25.760
You better take care of him.
1477
01:24:25.800 --> 01:24:30.079
I take care of him. Yes, you bet you my
1478
01:24:30.359 --> 01:24:31.000
poor wrong.
1479
01:24:31.840 --> 01:24:34.800
I forgive you this time because you've been on the
1480
01:24:34.840 --> 01:24:36.079
wrestle dessel.
1481
01:24:35.760 --> 01:24:38.399
And you need someone to take care of you. You
1482
01:24:38.479 --> 01:24:38.960
live in this.
1483
01:24:39.000 --> 01:24:41.479
Building, yes, yes, the floor right?
1484
01:24:41.600 --> 01:24:44.000
Oh good? I take you to your apartment.
1485
01:24:44.399 --> 01:24:46.279
No, no, no, you say no?
1486
01:24:46.720 --> 01:24:47.319
And why not.
1487
01:24:47.560 --> 01:24:49.199
Because you mustn't go in there?
1488
01:24:49.359 --> 01:24:51.039
Oh oh there's an our woman.
1489
01:24:51.479 --> 01:24:53.119
Oh yes, well yes.
1490
01:24:53.239 --> 01:24:56.039
The the fact is, Fiffe, I'm going to get married.
1491
01:24:56.239 --> 01:24:59.479
Married for heaven's sake, Fiffy, don't make a scene in
1492
01:24:59.520 --> 01:25:00.319
the middle of the street.
1493
01:25:00.359 --> 01:25:02.560
Oh, you break my heart right in the middle of
1494
01:25:02.640 --> 01:25:04.640
Park Avenue. You take my heart and you break it.
1495
01:25:04.720 --> 01:25:05.760
Bang bag beefee.
1496
01:25:05.880 --> 01:25:07.439
Please, no, I tell you what you do.
1497
01:25:07.680 --> 01:25:10.000
You will take me to your part in this very minute.
1498
01:25:10.199 --> 01:25:11.119
No, definitely no.
1499
01:25:11.239 --> 01:25:13.840
You will give me one cigarette and one brandy. You
1500
01:25:13.880 --> 01:25:16.239
will tell me what this means. Oh, I want you
1501
01:25:16.279 --> 01:25:18.439
by golly. I start screaming so they can hear.
1502
01:25:18.319 --> 01:25:19.039
Me at city Hall.
1503
01:25:19.159 --> 01:25:20.800
I can't do it. Fife all right?
1504
01:25:21.039 --> 01:25:21.960
Then I start screaming.
1505
01:25:21.960 --> 01:25:24.920
Oh wait a minute, of all the times in the
1506
01:25:25.000 --> 01:25:26.119
world you had to pick.
1507
01:25:26.079 --> 01:25:28.760
This, Do I go along, Cherie? Yes or no?
1508
01:25:29.319 --> 01:25:31.279
Well, if I do take your fife, will you promise
1509
01:25:31.319 --> 01:25:31.760
to be good?
1510
01:25:33.119 --> 01:25:34.319
I am always good.
1511
01:25:34.520 --> 01:25:36.960
You won't kick up a row or start banging the doors.
1512
01:25:37.960 --> 01:25:39.159
Oh if Anita heard of this?
1513
01:25:39.359 --> 01:25:39.760
Anita?
1514
01:25:39.880 --> 01:25:40.359
And who's she?
1515
01:25:40.600 --> 01:25:40.720
Oh?
1516
01:25:40.800 --> 01:25:42.920
Never mind, I'm too groggy to argue.
1517
01:25:43.159 --> 01:25:43.560
Come on.
1518
01:25:50.479 --> 01:25:55.840
I remember going into that building, dim religious light, deep carpets,
1519
01:25:56.279 --> 01:25:59.039
an automatic elevator that you work yourself. I remember stepping
1520
01:25:59.039 --> 01:26:03.039
into that elevator because the floor creaked. I remember pressing
1521
01:26:03.039 --> 01:26:06.319
the button for the fifth floor. I took Fifi with me,
1522
01:26:06.359 --> 01:26:08.600
and I took her into what the Champagne told me
1523
01:26:08.760 --> 01:26:13.680
was my own flat. Maybe you think that's funny, but
1524
01:26:13.760 --> 01:26:17.159
it won't be funny much longer. Either the door of
1525
01:26:17.199 --> 01:26:20.680
the flat was unlocked or my key fitted it anyway.
1526
01:26:20.760 --> 01:26:24.399
I remember stumbling through the little hall inside, getting a
1527
01:26:24.479 --> 01:26:28.039
light on, and into the living room. I remember sitting
1528
01:26:28.039 --> 01:26:30.119
back in an easy chair, thanking the lord.
1529
01:26:30.159 --> 01:26:30.800
I was home.
1530
01:26:33.239 --> 01:26:35.159
If I take my cold alf Chari.
1531
01:26:35.319 --> 01:26:37.399
Look, Fifi, couldn't you just go home?
1532
01:26:37.600 --> 01:26:40.600
I want to talk to you, Chari. And this is
1533
01:26:40.640 --> 01:26:42.000
one very nice flat.
1534
01:26:42.439 --> 01:26:43.159
I like it.
1535
01:26:43.560 --> 01:26:46.039
Thanks a lot, you and Tom Evans.
1536
01:26:46.239 --> 01:26:47.920
You have good taste in furniture.
1537
01:26:48.479 --> 01:26:50.279
We didn't choose the furniture, Fifi.
1538
01:26:50.720 --> 01:26:51.920
This girl of yours choose it.
1539
01:26:51.960 --> 01:26:54.439
I suppose No, it comes with the flat. Oh you
1540
01:26:54.520 --> 01:26:58.079
mean well, these are furnished flats. They're all furnished exactly alike,
1541
01:26:58.159 --> 01:27:02.239
except for the personal things you bring yourself. That picture
1542
01:27:02.279 --> 01:27:06.560
on the wall behind me, what do juy the painting
1543
01:27:06.600 --> 01:27:08.199
of the clipper ship over there?
1544
01:27:08.640 --> 01:27:12.520
But Juey, your eyes are funny and you cannot say
1545
01:27:12.560 --> 01:27:15.000
straight there's no picture on that wall.
1546
01:27:16.159 --> 01:27:17.600
Wait a minute, what's wrong?
1547
01:27:18.039 --> 01:27:18.880
Why you jump off?
1548
01:27:19.439 --> 01:27:23.840
We we don't own any bronze bookends, and the lampshades
1549
01:27:23.880 --> 01:27:27.199
are different. And if you were in the wrong.
1550
01:27:26.960 --> 01:27:31.560
Flat, well, Linda explains everything explains what it explains about
1551
01:27:31.560 --> 01:27:32.479
the canary birds?
1552
01:27:32.560 --> 01:27:33.640
What canary birds?
1553
01:27:33.760 --> 01:27:35.960
When he first come in here, I think, I hear
1554
01:27:36.000 --> 01:27:38.680
a lot of birds sing, and I think, ooh la, lad,
1555
01:27:38.760 --> 01:27:41.239
this is a funny taste for one Deniman Tom Evans.
1556
01:27:41.279 --> 01:27:45.359
But then Uncle Rufus, Great Scott, Uncle Rufus.
1557
01:27:45.039 --> 01:27:47.359
His uncle of yours, he keep canary bird.
1558
01:27:47.279 --> 01:27:49.600
Yes, five of them. But this isn't his flat. I
1559
01:27:49.640 --> 01:27:51.319
know his flat as well as I know my own.
1560
01:27:51.920 --> 01:27:53.199
Would you hear the singing.
1561
01:27:53.199 --> 01:27:55.439
Behind that door over there where I point.
1562
01:27:55.800 --> 01:27:57.319
Ought to be the door to the dining room.
1563
01:27:57.560 --> 01:28:00.920
But what was That's a car? Backfire?
1564
01:28:01.000 --> 01:28:01.439
Maybe yet?
1565
01:28:01.560 --> 01:28:03.479
Maybe no, unless they keep cars in dining rooms.
1566
01:28:03.760 --> 01:28:04.479
That was a gun.
1567
01:28:04.840 --> 01:28:06.039
It came from the dining room.
1568
01:28:06.239 --> 01:28:08.319
I think, so quick, let's get out of here.
1569
01:28:08.359 --> 01:28:09.039
Oh no, we don't.
1570
01:28:09.640 --> 01:28:11.479
I've been pushed around an I tell I'm good and mad,
1571
01:28:11.479 --> 01:28:13.319
and I'm just about crazy enough to find out what
1572
01:28:13.359 --> 01:28:14.039
this is all about.
1573
01:28:14.239 --> 01:28:15.680
You're not going to open that door.
1574
01:28:15.920 --> 01:28:16.880
You just watch me.
1575
01:28:17.840 --> 01:28:20.000
There's a light in that room anyway, Oh you know,
1576
01:28:20.920 --> 01:28:22.159
look into the sill of the door.
1577
01:28:23.199 --> 01:28:24.239
Not a very bright light.
1578
01:28:24.359 --> 01:28:26.479
But don't do it.
1579
01:28:26.760 --> 01:28:29.039
Stand back now. I get the door open.
1580
01:28:32.079 --> 01:28:34.439
Dining room had.
1581
01:28:34.359 --> 01:28:35.199
Uncle rufe.
1582
01:28:36.760 --> 01:28:42.079
Five canary birds, five canaries in cages, all in the
1583
01:28:42.159 --> 01:28:45.119
line Satan's.
1584
01:28:44.760 --> 01:28:45.279
Name, aren't we?
1585
01:28:45.520 --> 01:28:46.079
Oh suh?
1586
01:28:46.199 --> 01:28:50.079
I don't know whose flat is this? Who except Uncle
1587
01:28:50.119 --> 01:28:51.680
Rufus would keep five canaries?
1588
01:28:53.520 --> 01:28:54.239
Wondering though?
1589
01:28:54.960 --> 01:28:59.079
And then I go out of here. Well, there's somebody
1590
01:28:59.159 --> 01:29:04.680
watching us? Where the swing door to the kitchen's pockety open?
1591
01:29:05.279 --> 01:29:07.479
But don't look the double can I see it?
1592
01:29:07.479 --> 01:29:10.520
If I don't look, does somebody standing behind it?
1593
01:29:10.960 --> 01:29:12.560
I see the night shine.
1594
01:29:12.279 --> 01:29:13.239
On his eye?
1595
01:29:13.439 --> 01:29:20.840
Quiet, Fifi? Hello there, Hello there? The don't move a
1596
01:29:20.840 --> 01:29:21.359
little more.
1597
01:29:22.199 --> 01:29:23.119
He's pushing it.
1598
01:29:24.039 --> 01:29:24.760
Excuse me, sir.
1599
01:29:25.439 --> 01:29:27.560
We didn't mean to barge in here. We're not burglars
1600
01:29:27.680 --> 01:29:30.640
or anything like that. We got into the wrong flat,
1601
01:29:30.720 --> 01:29:32.840
that's all I want to apologize.
1602
01:29:32.840 --> 01:29:33.119
If we.
1603
01:29:35.760 --> 01:29:39.880
Straight out through the door on his face, what's the
1604
01:29:39.920 --> 01:29:40.560
matter with him?
1605
01:29:40.840 --> 01:29:41.760
Why don't you move?
1606
01:29:42.720 --> 01:29:56.399
I've got an idea, Fifi, it's because he's dead. He
1607
01:29:56.560 --> 01:29:59.359
was a little fat man with eyeglasses and a spade
1608
01:29:59.399 --> 01:30:04.479
shaped beer. He looked foreign somehow, and there was a
1609
01:30:04.520 --> 01:30:10.399
bullet hole over his heart. You asked me what happened?
1610
01:30:10.399 --> 01:30:10.680
Then?
1611
01:30:11.399 --> 01:30:14.600
I don't know. Fiefe turned and ran. At least I
1612
01:30:14.720 --> 01:30:17.359
think she did. I bent over the man to make
1613
01:30:17.399 --> 01:30:21.640
sure he was dead, and then something hit me. So
1614
01:30:21.760 --> 01:30:25.199
it hadn't been enough of a nightmare already. I could
1615
01:30:25.199 --> 01:30:28.640
hear that blackjack strike the back of my skull, and
1616
01:30:28.680 --> 01:30:33.119
everything exploded. I couldn't get my breath, and I seemed
1617
01:30:33.119 --> 01:30:36.560
to be swimming in dark water. The next voice I
1618
01:30:36.600 --> 01:30:42.520
heard wasn't Fiefe's at all. It was Anita's and Ron Denom. Oh,
1619
01:30:43.279 --> 01:30:47.279
oh my head, oh lord, my head.
1620
01:30:47.720 --> 01:30:51.960
Well I'm not at all surprised, but said Anita. I
1621
01:30:52.000 --> 01:30:54.600
can't hear you, I said, I'm not at all surprised
1622
01:30:55.000 --> 01:30:58.239
of all the disgraceful, disserute objects I ever saw.
1623
01:30:59.079 --> 01:31:02.800
Anita, where am I darling?
1624
01:31:02.840 --> 01:31:03.880
As though you didn't know?
1625
01:31:04.880 --> 01:31:06.079
But I don't know.
1626
01:31:07.119 --> 01:31:09.399
My head feels like a like a printing press in
1627
01:31:09.520 --> 01:31:10.239
full blast.
1628
01:31:11.159 --> 01:31:12.960
Well, you're not in the main hall there on the
1629
01:31:12.960 --> 01:31:16.079
fifth floor, sitting on the stairs beside the elevator shaft.
1630
01:31:16.800 --> 01:31:21.119
That's true. But how did I get here? Oh?
1631
01:31:21.159 --> 01:31:24.640
No, really, run, I must have been carried here.
1632
01:31:25.399 --> 01:31:25.880
That's it.
1633
01:31:26.159 --> 01:31:28.840
Why you're drunken friends at the club. I don't doubt
1634
01:31:28.880 --> 01:31:29.520
its least.
1635
01:31:29.880 --> 01:31:34.119
No, Anita, No, you don't understand. I left that party early.
1636
01:31:34.479 --> 01:31:37.520
I was cold, sober, but the low hounds wanted to
1637
01:31:37.560 --> 01:31:40.720
see me come home in bad shape so they could,
1638
01:31:40.920 --> 01:31:42.760
so they put something in my glass.
1639
01:31:42.840 --> 01:31:45.399
Oh naturally run with Gio Champagne.
1640
01:31:45.560 --> 01:31:47.760
Oh no, Anita, I mean a drug of some kind.
1641
01:31:48.680 --> 01:31:50.800
It was dizzy when I got here. Just as I
1642
01:31:50.840 --> 01:31:52.159
was getting out of the taxi, I.
1643
01:31:52.159 --> 01:31:56.319
Met, Well, go on, dear, whom did you meet?
1644
01:31:57.600 --> 01:32:01.199
Nobody, Anita, nobody at all. I came up here to
1645
01:32:01.239 --> 01:32:03.680
what I thought was my own flat, but it wasn't
1646
01:32:03.680 --> 01:32:07.159
my flat. It was somebody else's. There were a lot
1647
01:32:07.199 --> 01:32:09.840
of canaries singing, and a dead man with a bullet
1648
01:32:09.840 --> 01:32:15.560
hole in his chest. And this sounds pretty crazy, doesn't.
1649
01:32:15.279 --> 01:32:20.119
It, Yes, Dear, it certainly does, but it's true. Oh ron,
1650
01:32:20.760 --> 01:32:22.920
I suppose I've got to forgive you. I always do
1651
01:32:23.079 --> 01:32:25.520
forgive you. I'll run along like a good boy and
1652
01:32:25.560 --> 01:32:26.159
sleep it off.
1653
01:32:26.640 --> 01:32:30.920
Listen, Anita, there's a dead man in one of these flats.
1654
01:32:31.479 --> 01:32:34.479
A dead man in which flat?
1655
01:32:34.600 --> 01:32:36.239
Well, that's just it. I don't know.
1656
01:32:36.880 --> 01:32:38.479
You're not saying it's on this floor.
1657
01:32:38.640 --> 01:32:41.640
Yes, I definitely remember pressing the button for the fifth floor.
1658
01:32:42.239 --> 01:32:45.039
I suppose you listen to me, dear, don't make faces
1659
01:32:45.039 --> 01:32:45.840
and rumple your hair.
1660
01:32:46.079 --> 01:32:46.560
Just listen.
1661
01:32:46.960 --> 01:32:49.800
There are only two other apartments on this floor. One
1662
01:32:49.880 --> 01:32:50.399
is your uncle.
1663
01:32:50.560 --> 01:32:52.079
It wasn't his, I'll swear to that one.
1664
01:32:52.159 --> 01:32:54.760
The other is mine. You don't think I'm hiding a
1665
01:32:54.800 --> 01:32:55.239
dead man.
1666
01:32:55.439 --> 01:32:57.119
No, it wasn't your flat either.
1667
01:32:57.000 --> 01:32:58.359
Well then where is it, darling?
1668
01:32:59.159 --> 01:33:01.600
The whole flat can vanished and take the dead man along,
1669
01:33:01.960 --> 01:33:02.279
can it?
1670
01:33:02.760 --> 01:33:02.920
No?
1671
01:33:03.920 --> 01:33:06.399
But I'll tell you something else, Anita. I've seen that
1672
01:33:06.479 --> 01:33:07.760
man's face somewhere before.
1673
01:33:08.279 --> 01:33:08.960
Who's face?
1674
01:33:09.039 --> 01:33:14.239
The dead man's thick eyeglasses, square, black beard? Something firing
1675
01:33:14.319 --> 01:33:17.399
about it. I've seen him, or or I've seen his picture?
1676
01:33:17.560 --> 01:33:19.800
Or Ron? Please, what's wrong?
1677
01:33:19.840 --> 01:33:22.720
This's the elevator. Somebody's coming up. Oh please, don't let
1678
01:33:22.720 --> 01:33:25.520
people see you. Your hat smashed in and your ties untied,
1679
01:33:25.520 --> 01:33:27.119
and you look like nothing on earth.
1680
01:33:27.399 --> 01:33:28.159
Look here, Anita.
1681
01:33:28.199 --> 01:33:29.920
If it comes to that, what are you doing out
1682
01:33:29.920 --> 01:33:31.760
in the hall and negligee and pajamas?
1683
01:33:31.760 --> 01:33:34.640
So I wanted to make sure you got home safely. Ron,
1684
01:33:34.720 --> 01:33:37.319
the elevator, Tom Evans, and your uncle rupers.
1685
01:33:37.359 --> 01:33:38.399
All right, I can take it.
1686
01:33:38.520 --> 01:33:40.840
That's your uncle, can't. I don't say anything to him
1687
01:33:40.880 --> 01:33:41.720
about this dead man?
1688
01:33:41.840 --> 01:33:42.479
Promise me.
1689
01:33:42.880 --> 01:33:43.880
Hold on, I've got it.
1690
01:33:44.960 --> 01:33:45.640
Pierre de Roc.
1691
01:33:46.079 --> 01:33:49.000
Who Pierre de Roc? That's the dead man's name.
1692
01:33:49.399 --> 01:33:59.880
He nineteen thirty eight. The prospect of a European war
1693
01:34:00.279 --> 01:34:03.760
is so remote as not to be worth serious consideration.
1694
01:34:04.119 --> 01:34:06.000
Excuse meself, but isn't that a little strong?
1695
01:34:06.119 --> 01:34:07.600
I don't argue with me, Evans.
1696
01:34:08.479 --> 01:34:11.720
Let me turn my secretary to look here?
1697
01:34:12.279 --> 01:34:12.720
What's this?
1698
01:34:12.880 --> 01:34:14.319
When I look, Uncle Rupe's Oh.
1699
01:34:14.239 --> 01:34:16.279
I can't stand any more of this. I'm dead up.
1700
01:34:16.359 --> 01:34:18.840
Well, I don't blame you, my dear. Is his neph
1701
01:34:18.880 --> 01:34:20.399
you will mind? Been annoying you again?
1702
01:34:20.680 --> 01:34:21.520
No, of course not.
1703
01:34:21.680 --> 01:34:24.079
But please don't pay any attention to him.
1704
01:34:24.159 --> 01:34:27.399
He's he's drunk for the last time.
1705
01:34:27.520 --> 01:34:28.640
I am not drunk.
1706
01:34:29.000 --> 01:34:30.920
I just want to ask Uncle Rupus before I go
1707
01:34:31.039 --> 01:34:34.239
completely nuts, whether he hasn't heard of Pierre du ROCs that, Ronald,
1708
01:34:34.479 --> 01:34:37.159
would you say, Pierre du Roc the French millionaire?
1709
01:34:37.239 --> 01:34:38.079
Well, what about him?
1710
01:34:38.640 --> 01:34:40.840
He's the man who always deals in cash on the line,
1711
01:34:40.920 --> 01:34:43.479
spot cash, even if it's a million. I saw his
1712
01:34:43.520 --> 01:34:45.079
picture in the paper. He's in New York to put
1713
01:34:45.079 --> 01:34:46.079
through a business deal with you.
1714
01:34:46.119 --> 01:34:46.319
With me?
1715
01:34:46.319 --> 01:34:50.680
He indeed, Ronald, you show a commendable interest in my affairs.
1716
01:34:51.119 --> 01:34:52.880
That's what you want me to do, isn't it? I
1717
01:34:52.960 --> 01:34:55.479
believe does want to buy some property I own, but
1718
01:34:55.800 --> 01:34:58.800
he hasn't approached me, and I haven't approached him. It's
1719
01:34:58.840 --> 01:34:59.880
a bad business.
1720
01:35:00.680 --> 01:35:00.880
Eh.
1721
01:35:01.479 --> 01:35:05.319
Why have you developed this sudden interest in Duroc because
1722
01:35:05.319 --> 01:35:06.760
he's dead dead?
1723
01:35:07.399 --> 01:35:09.319
Somebody shot him in a room full of canaries and
1724
01:35:09.319 --> 01:35:10.479
then slugged me over the head.
1725
01:35:11.319 --> 01:35:12.600
Do you believe me, Evans?
1726
01:35:12.640 --> 01:35:14.680
If your uncle will excuse me, old man, I don't
1727
01:35:14.680 --> 01:35:17.079
see any reason not to believeable. Where's the body?
1728
01:35:17.199 --> 01:35:19.920
Well, that's the trouble. Ron claims he founded in a flat.
1729
01:35:19.960 --> 01:35:25.319
It doesn't exist. Listen, what's that sound like?
1730
01:35:25.399 --> 01:35:27.760
Somebody running upstairs in the devil of a hurry?
1731
01:35:28.119 --> 01:35:29.000
Maybe it's a dead man.
1732
01:35:29.159 --> 01:35:30.840
As a matter of fact, it's the night porter. He's
1733
01:35:30.840 --> 01:35:32.720
the one who can tell us, tell us what. Well,
1734
01:35:32.760 --> 01:35:34.640
maybe I did get off at a different floor, but
1735
01:35:34.680 --> 01:35:36.760
that flat's got to be somewhere in this building.
1736
01:35:37.199 --> 01:35:39.079
Pierson, for just a minute, Pierson.
1737
01:35:39.439 --> 01:35:42.760
I'm very sorry, sir, but can't stop now. Please stand aside.
1738
01:35:42.800 --> 01:35:44.199
I got to go upstairs and get the manager.
1739
01:35:44.239 --> 01:35:45.479
Why person, is anything wrong?
1740
01:35:45.720 --> 01:35:48.359
Well, mister Evans, peak up man, is anything wrong? Here's
1741
01:35:48.399 --> 01:35:50.760
the police, sir. We found a dead man the palm
1742
01:35:50.840 --> 01:35:53.159
garden downstairs.
1743
01:35:54.319 --> 01:35:55.399
Now do you believe me?
1744
01:35:55.760 --> 01:35:58.119
You will oblige me, all of you, if you remain
1745
01:35:58.239 --> 01:35:59.640
quiet and allow me to deal with this.
1746
01:36:01.439 --> 01:36:03.600
Oh what does this man look like, Pearson?
1747
01:36:03.840 --> 01:36:06.720
He's a foreign looking gentleman, Sir, never saw him before,
1748
01:36:07.000 --> 01:36:08.039
doesn't live in the building.
1749
01:36:08.119 --> 01:36:09.960
Well, and how did he get to the palm guard?
1750
01:36:10.199 --> 01:36:12.680
Well, sure, that's what we don't know. He certainly wasn't
1751
01:36:12.680 --> 01:36:14.640
there when I looked in half an hour ago. But
1752
01:36:14.720 --> 01:36:16.720
I went back to the palm garden just a chance,
1753
01:36:16.760 --> 01:36:18.840
and there he was, in a wicker chair, with the
1754
01:36:18.920 --> 01:36:20.960
singing birds and cages all around him.
1755
01:36:21.119 --> 01:36:22.880
Birds again, Oh, be quiet? Wrong?
1756
01:36:23.079 --> 01:36:26.319
He'd been shot, sir. The police think he was brought
1757
01:36:26.359 --> 01:36:29.000
down in the service elevator from somewhere upstairs.
1758
01:36:29.199 --> 01:36:30.199
Why do they think that?
1759
01:36:30.439 --> 01:36:32.720
Because they found a revolver in that elevator in a
1760
01:36:32.720 --> 01:36:36.359
little paper band, the kuy that goes round banknotes. If
1761
01:36:36.359 --> 01:36:37.920
they could tell where the dead man came.
1762
01:36:37.760 --> 01:36:39.239
He can't tell us where he came from.
1763
01:36:39.359 --> 01:36:41.439
Huh hi, high cancer.
1764
01:36:41.600 --> 01:36:43.479
Yes, you've been in most of the flats in this building,
1765
01:36:43.520 --> 01:36:43.840
haven't you.
1766
01:36:44.399 --> 01:36:45.920
I've been inside all of them.
1767
01:36:45.960 --> 01:36:49.039
Sure, Why, well would you recognize any given flat if
1768
01:36:49.079 --> 01:36:50.000
I described.
1769
01:36:49.640 --> 01:36:52.640
It, well, yes, sir, certainly.
1770
01:36:52.680 --> 01:36:55.479
But well, then, for the love of Mike, think who
1771
01:36:55.560 --> 01:36:57.720
lives in a flat with five canary cages in the
1772
01:36:57.760 --> 01:36:58.359
dining room?
1773
01:36:58.439 --> 01:36:58.760
Ronald?
1774
01:36:59.119 --> 01:36:59.840
Are you out of here?
1775
01:36:59.840 --> 01:37:00.000
Mind?
1776
01:37:00.079 --> 01:37:03.560
And in case you don't happen to remember, you're describing
1777
01:37:03.600 --> 01:37:04.159
my place.
1778
01:37:04.279 --> 01:37:06.880
No, it was like your place, but it wasn't at all.
1779
01:37:06.920 --> 01:37:10.760
The same oriental prints on the walls in the living room,
1780
01:37:11.319 --> 01:37:15.840
bronze bookends and bronze lamps, dragon patterns on the lamp shades.
1781
01:37:16.159 --> 01:37:18.800
There was a queer kind of clock on the mantelpiece,
1782
01:37:19.159 --> 01:37:22.600
shaped like a figure of father time. And that's the
1783
01:37:22.640 --> 01:37:23.520
matter with you person.
1784
01:37:23.840 --> 01:37:27.399
Nothing sure, But you're sure you saw that?
1785
01:37:28.039 --> 01:37:29.119
Yes, of course, I'm sure.
1786
01:37:29.159 --> 01:37:32.920
Why not because I'm sorry, sir, but you couldn't have
1787
01:37:32.920 --> 01:37:34.960
seen it? What do you mean I couldn't have seen it?
1788
01:37:35.000 --> 01:37:37.399
I did see it. Who lives in the blasted place?
1789
01:37:37.600 --> 01:37:38.199
Nobody?
1790
01:37:38.560 --> 01:37:39.800
Well, you mean the flats vacant?
1791
01:37:41.239 --> 01:37:44.279
No, sir, I mean there's no such flat in the
1792
01:37:44.319 --> 01:37:44.920
whole building.
1793
01:37:55.520 --> 01:37:58.279
And that's the position I was in when the police
1794
01:37:58.279 --> 01:37:59.800
took us down to that palm garden.
1795
01:38:00.039 --> 01:38:00.680
See the body.
1796
01:38:01.840 --> 01:38:05.239
I never did like the palm garden much it's a big,
1797
01:38:05.359 --> 01:38:08.920
dimly lighted hollow of a place with bird cages beside
1798
01:38:08.960 --> 01:38:12.159
the palms and an artificial goldfish pond in the middle.
1799
01:38:13.199 --> 01:38:14.159
I liked it even less.
1800
01:38:14.159 --> 01:38:16.359
At three o'clock in the morning, with a dead man
1801
01:38:16.439 --> 01:38:19.399
looking at me from his chair, they sent us in
1802
01:38:19.439 --> 01:38:22.479
one at a time. I was first to see the
1803
01:38:22.560 --> 01:38:27.520
homicide squad officer, and there was Inspector Braddock, a big,
1804
01:38:27.560 --> 01:38:30.760
sleepy looking hulk with a hat like a pirate, sitting
1805
01:38:30.760 --> 01:38:34.720
on a bench throwing pebbles at that pond. Back would
1806
01:38:34.800 --> 01:38:36.640
go his arm and a pebble would hit the water.
1807
01:38:37.840 --> 01:38:40.000
Back would go his arm, and a pebble would hit
1808
01:38:40.039 --> 01:38:40.399
the water.
1809
01:38:43.119 --> 01:38:45.319
And that's all you got to tell me, mister Dunham.
1810
01:38:46.319 --> 01:38:48.880
That's all, Inspector. It happens to be true. Oh I
1811
01:38:49.000 --> 01:38:51.399
believe you. After all of a sudden, we've got corroboration.
1812
01:38:51.800 --> 01:38:53.159
Corroboration from whom.
1813
01:38:53.119 --> 01:38:55.239
From your other girlfriend, Fifi Latour.
1814
01:38:56.079 --> 01:38:57.600
He's not here. She ran out of here as soon
1815
01:38:57.600 --> 01:38:59.279
as Duroc's body fell through that door.
1816
01:39:00.079 --> 01:39:02.640
She didn't run far. Cop wondered why she was running
1817
01:39:02.640 --> 01:39:03.279
and brought her back.
1818
01:39:03.680 --> 01:39:04.520
Where's Heefy now?
1819
01:39:04.760 --> 01:39:08.680
In that room there talking to your official girlfriend Oh.
1820
01:39:08.640 --> 01:39:12.520
That's fine, that's beautiful. The one thing I didn't tell Anita,
1821
01:39:12.600 --> 01:39:13.760
Why don't you wake up?
1822
01:39:14.479 --> 01:39:14.960
Wake up?
1823
01:39:15.239 --> 01:39:17.680
How this isn't post office any longer. It is murder,
1824
01:39:18.159 --> 01:39:20.399
and one of that gang out there shot Pierre de Roc.
1825
01:39:21.520 --> 01:39:22.279
Are you serious?
1826
01:39:22.359 --> 01:39:25.720
Serious? Sure? I'm serious. This is as clever and slick
1827
01:39:25.760 --> 01:39:27.399
and mean a trick as ever went on the blotter.
1828
01:39:27.880 --> 01:39:30.239
Pierre de Roc was one of the goats you or
1829
01:39:30.239 --> 01:39:33.159
the other. His uncle yours is a fairly important guy,
1830
01:39:33.199 --> 01:39:34.720
isn't it. Wait a minute, just exactly what are you
1831
01:39:34.800 --> 01:39:36.760
saying about the old time. I'm saying he gets lots
1832
01:39:36.760 --> 01:39:40.039
of publicity. This hobby of his keeping dickeybirds must be
1833
01:39:40.039 --> 01:39:43.399
pretty well known. Yes, I suppose so. All right, So
1834
01:39:43.520 --> 01:39:44.880
if Duroc came to visit your.
1835
01:39:44.880 --> 01:39:47.720
Uncle tonight, you say, if Duroc came to visit my uncle,
1836
01:39:47.840 --> 01:39:50.840
what you're forgetting, son, is that Doroc's an important man too.
1837
01:39:51.199 --> 01:39:54.079
He's a visiting foreigner capital letters, and the Department's got
1838
01:39:54.119 --> 01:39:56.359
to keep an eye on him. Doroc did go to
1839
01:39:56.439 --> 01:39:59.479
visit your uncle tonight, and he was carrying twenty thousand
1840
01:39:59.520 --> 01:40:01.199
dollars in what are you animating?
1841
01:40:01.279 --> 01:40:02.800
Murder?
1842
01:40:03.439 --> 01:40:06.920
Yes, sergeant crowd out there's Racy Kaine, especially the old man.
1843
01:40:06.960 --> 01:40:08.520
I'm a French gown. I let him in.
1844
01:40:08.680 --> 01:40:10.159
Yeah, you can let him in now.
1845
01:40:12.520 --> 01:40:15.880
Now no more than an hour sitting in an ante
1846
01:40:16.000 --> 01:40:17.880
room without even hearing why we're here.
1847
01:40:18.279 --> 01:40:20.760
I'll tell you that Evans is intolerable.
1848
01:40:20.880 --> 01:40:23.279
It's all right, sir. They probably know what they're doing.
1849
01:40:23.640 --> 01:40:26.319
I think so, my friends. But I still don't know
1850
01:40:26.359 --> 01:40:27.239
why I'm here.
1851
01:40:27.439 --> 01:40:30.840
How very interesting, miss Latour to extreme ats in mindedness.
1852
01:40:31.640 --> 01:40:33.399
Perhaps wrong to tell you why you're here?
1853
01:40:33.760 --> 01:40:35.520
Listen, Anita, I can explain everything.
1854
01:40:35.560 --> 01:40:41.760
Can you explain the disappearing apartment? That's better. I'd like
1855
01:40:41.800 --> 01:40:43.720
if you don't mind to have a little quiet here.
1856
01:40:44.640 --> 01:40:46.439
Which one of you is, mister rufus Denham?
1857
01:40:46.560 --> 01:40:50.199
I am rufus Denham, Sir rufus Denham, of Delman Company.
1858
01:40:50.600 --> 01:40:52.399
Can there be any doubt whatever about that?
1859
01:40:52.800 --> 01:40:55.319
No, but I thought i'd ask. I was just telling
1860
01:40:55.399 --> 01:40:57.600
you or nephew, mister Dunham, that Pierre de Rock came
1861
01:40:57.640 --> 01:40:58.680
here tonight to see you.
1862
01:40:58.840 --> 01:41:00.720
You see me inspect thanks right.
1863
01:41:02.199 --> 01:41:05.119
I can only characterize that statement, sir, as a flat
1864
01:41:05.119 --> 01:41:06.239
and downright line.
1865
01:41:06.479 --> 01:41:08.800
I've never met that man. I didn't say you met him.
1866
01:41:08.920 --> 01:41:11.359
I said he came here to see you. Doroc wanted
1867
01:41:11.359 --> 01:41:12.359
to buy some property from you.
1868
01:41:12.479 --> 01:41:14.640
Didn't he? Well, I suppose he did.
1869
01:41:14.720 --> 01:41:18.560
And do Roc always paid spot cash, didn't he?
1870
01:41:18.800 --> 01:41:18.880
Is?
1871
01:41:18.960 --> 01:41:19.319
I believe?
1872
01:41:19.399 --> 01:41:23.399
So just one more question. I imagine you've got a secretary.
1873
01:41:23.720 --> 01:41:27.079
Yes, naturally, I've got a secretary, Miss Helen Gardner.
1874
01:41:27.479 --> 01:41:28.159
What about her?
1875
01:41:28.479 --> 01:41:32.039
Somebody posing as your secretary telephoned to Roc at the
1876
01:41:32.039 --> 01:41:34.640
Metropolis Hotel and spoke to him in very good.
1877
01:41:34.479 --> 01:41:38.079
Friends, how instector, don't stop there?
1878
01:41:38.119 --> 01:41:38.399
Go on?
1879
01:41:38.880 --> 01:41:42.399
This person pretending to represent Rufus Dunham asked a Roc
1880
01:41:42.479 --> 01:41:44.439
to come here with the money and said they could
1881
01:41:44.439 --> 01:41:47.199
settle the deal immediately. Don't you see the trick now?
1882
01:41:47.720 --> 01:41:50.199
Don't you see? De Roc was jured into a dummy apartment.
1883
01:41:50.279 --> 01:41:53.159
At the apartment, what does the man mean?
1884
01:41:53.560 --> 01:41:56.760
I'll tell you all the flats are furnished exactly alike,
1885
01:41:56.800 --> 01:42:01.079
except for personal things, pictures, books, slampshape his ornaments. Is
1886
01:42:01.119 --> 01:42:01.680
that correct?
1887
01:42:01.960 --> 01:42:02.920
Yes, of course it is.
1888
01:42:03.119 --> 01:42:06.479
The murderer didn't dare use Rufus Dunham's real flat, But
1889
01:42:06.520 --> 01:42:10.000
the murderer could always decorate an imitation flat so that
1890
01:42:10.039 --> 01:42:12.359
Pierre de Rock would be deceived. When he saw five
1891
01:42:12.840 --> 01:42:15.880
birds that said son, But what was the idea? A
1892
01:42:16.000 --> 01:42:18.840
very neat swindle. Look at the rock's body.
1893
01:42:18.520 --> 01:42:20.439
Now, Oh, I can't look at it.
1894
01:42:20.520 --> 01:42:23.239
Look out his thick glasses. The man was half blind.
1895
01:42:24.000 --> 01:42:26.880
The so called secretary disguised would meet the rock in
1896
01:42:26.920 --> 01:42:29.840
an imitation flat. The rock would hand over the money
1897
01:42:29.840 --> 01:42:33.000
and get forged title deeds in return. When the rock
1898
01:42:33.079 --> 01:42:35.439
had gone, the flat could be put right again and
1899
01:42:35.760 --> 01:42:39.920
no evidence left. But something went wrong, That's right, something
1900
01:42:39.960 --> 01:42:42.800
went wrong. The rock suspected it had to be killed
1901
01:42:42.880 --> 01:42:43.760
right again.
1902
01:42:43.880 --> 01:42:46.319
Inspector Braddock, who is the murderer?
1903
01:42:46.640 --> 01:42:48.920
Can't you guess?
1904
01:42:48.520 --> 01:42:48.560
No?
1905
01:42:49.279 --> 01:42:51.119
I think I know how it all happened.
1906
01:42:51.239 --> 01:42:52.079
Do you miss the tour?
1907
01:42:52.199 --> 01:42:53.279
Who's very smart of you?
1908
01:42:53.840 --> 01:42:56.479
Is this poor running of mine? He is at a
1909
01:42:56.600 --> 01:42:57.479
bachelor party.
1910
01:42:58.000 --> 01:42:59.880
They do not think that he will be home and
1911
01:43:00.079 --> 01:43:03.760
till daylight, But he get reformed and come home early.
1912
01:43:04.239 --> 01:43:06.880
He plunged a straight into that flag in time.
1913
01:43:06.680 --> 01:43:10.159
To interhart, in time to interrupt the murder. Yes, afterwards,
1914
01:43:10.159 --> 01:43:12.000
when you were supposed to run.
1915
01:43:11.880 --> 01:43:14.560
Away, But I did run away, sure, mister Letore, I'm
1916
01:43:14.560 --> 01:43:15.279
admitting you did.
1917
01:43:15.479 --> 01:43:17.319
Then why do you look at me as though I didn't?
1918
01:43:17.359 --> 01:43:19.680
Afterwards? As I was saying the murderer had to hit
1919
01:43:19.760 --> 01:43:21.600
Ronald Dunham over the head and drag him out in
1920
01:43:21.600 --> 01:43:24.399
the hall. The rock's body was brought down here, along
1921
01:43:24.399 --> 01:43:26.479
with the canary cages that had been borrowed from here,
1922
01:43:26.720 --> 01:43:30.239
and the dummy flat was set right again just one moment,
1923
01:43:30.359 --> 01:43:34.960
Inspector Radiga. I'm not disputing anything you say, but well soon,
1924
01:43:35.000 --> 01:43:35.760
what's on your mind?
1925
01:43:36.039 --> 01:43:36.800
The murderer?
1926
01:43:36.920 --> 01:43:38.000
What about the murderer?
1927
01:43:38.079 --> 01:43:41.560
Well, all this, sir, wouldn't it have been much too
1928
01:43:41.600 --> 01:43:44.000
heavy a job for a woman who said the murderer
1929
01:43:44.039 --> 01:43:44.479
was a woman?
1930
01:43:44.760 --> 01:43:45.399
Well didn't you?
1931
01:43:45.680 --> 01:43:48.279
I don't think I did. I said the murderer was
1932
01:43:48.319 --> 01:43:51.239
somebody who planned to swindle. And you still don't see it,
1933
01:43:51.279 --> 01:43:53.640
any of you, because you can't find the dummy flat.
1934
01:43:53.800 --> 01:43:56.760
No, I can't find it myself. That's one question you've
1935
01:43:56.760 --> 01:43:59.159
got to answer here and now. Where in Satan's name.
1936
01:43:59.039 --> 01:43:59.600
Did I go?
1937
01:44:00.039 --> 01:44:00.600
Who's flat?
1938
01:44:00.640 --> 01:44:01.920
Was I? In your own?
1939
01:44:03.520 --> 01:44:04.039
My own?
1940
01:44:04.520 --> 01:44:07.720
Naturally you'd been cold, sober, you might have made a mistake,
1941
01:44:08.159 --> 01:44:10.600
but your instinct brought you home to your own flat.
1942
01:44:11.000 --> 01:44:13.439
And the only possible murderer is the man who shares
1943
01:44:13.479 --> 01:44:15.680
that flat with you, the man who thought you'd be
1944
01:44:15.720 --> 01:44:18.600
away until daylight. The man who knows enough about Dunham's
1945
01:44:18.600 --> 01:44:21.039
business affairs to plan this swindle against the Rock look
1946
01:44:21.079 --> 01:44:28.399
Out inspector grabbing trageant Thomas Evans, I arrest you for
1947
01:44:28.479 --> 01:44:29.800
the murder of Pierre de Rock.
1948
01:44:31.039 --> 01:44:41.680
Good Lord, heavens. Well, that's about all there is to
1949
01:44:41.720 --> 01:44:42.239
the story.
1950
01:44:42.880 --> 01:44:44.640
Anita and I were married last week.
1951
01:44:45.279 --> 01:44:46.279
She's a wonderful girl.
1952
01:44:47.279 --> 01:44:49.199
I tried to talk her into our staying on in
1953
01:44:49.239 --> 01:44:52.159
my old flat, but she said she just had to
1954
01:44:52.159 --> 01:44:55.119
have an apartment which didn't have such a habit of disappearing.
1955
01:44:56.199 --> 01:44:59.680
But we're very happy. We agree about everything, don't We did.
1956
01:45:00.039 --> 01:45:03.199
Practically everything, darling. But I still don't think it was
1957
01:45:03.279 --> 01:45:05.720
cute of thief to stand up three dozen canaries for
1958
01:45:05.800 --> 01:45:06.640
a wedding choice, and.
1959
01:45:20.800 --> 01:45:24.039
So closes Five Canaries in the Room, starring Ona Munson,
1960
01:45:24.119 --> 01:45:29.239
Lee Bowman and Osa Madson Tonight's Tale of Suspense, This
1961
01:45:29.359 --> 01:45:31.760
is your narrator, the man in black who conveys to
1962
01:45:31.800 --> 01:45:34.840
you Columbia's invitation to spend this half hour in suspense
1963
01:45:34.880 --> 01:45:38.600
with us again next Tuesday, when Alsi's Plenty play will
1964
01:45:38.600 --> 01:45:42.960
be Last Night by Cornell Woolrich, and we'll star more of.
1965
01:45:42.920 --> 01:45:44.119
Your Hollywood favorites.
1966
01:45:46.199 --> 01:45:49.920
The producer of these broadcasts is William Spear, with Ted Bliss,
1967
01:45:49.920 --> 01:45:53.560
the director, lud Gluskin and Lucian Morrowick conductor and composer,
1968
01:45:54.119 --> 01:45:59.399
and John Dixon Carr, the author, collaborated on tonight's suspense.
1969
01:46:00.560 --> 01:46:23.119
There's a CBS, the Columbia Broadcasting System.
1970
01:46:23.159 --> 01:46:30.119
My dear, My dear, the night has grown well, it's
1971
01:46:30.199 --> 01:46:34.840
grown old. But I suppose there's time for one more
1972
01:46:35.720 --> 01:46:41.119
before you depart me and head back to your joyful
1973
01:46:41.279 --> 01:46:41.920
little life.
1974
01:46:43.119 --> 01:46:43.279
Hm.
1975
01:46:43.359 --> 01:46:43.439
Hm.
1976
01:46:44.520 --> 01:46:52.439
But what could there be? What could truly bring fear
1977
01:46:52.640 --> 01:47:00.199
and uncertainty mm in a life as easy going in fun.
1978
01:47:00.920 --> 01:47:04.199
I suppose it would be the other woman.
1979
01:47:05.720 --> 01:47:08.680
Wait a minute, have you heard the strange tales of
1980
01:47:08.720 --> 01:47:09.279
the Whistler.
1981
01:47:26.239 --> 01:47:27.560
I'm the whistler.
1982
01:47:33.479 --> 01:47:36.239
I refuse to accept the responsibility of the failure of
1983
01:47:36.279 --> 01:47:40.119
our marriage. I know who caused it, and I know
1984
01:47:40.239 --> 01:47:43.600
who she is. I refuse to give you up to hers.
1985
01:47:44.800 --> 01:47:48.119
So I have made a decision.
1986
01:47:51.720 --> 01:47:55.359
Another Sunday night, and again CBS presents the Whistler.
1987
01:48:02.359 --> 01:48:06.479
I the whistler, know many things, for I walk by night.
1988
01:48:07.199 --> 01:48:10.560
I know many strange tales, many secrets hidden in the hearts,
1989
01:48:10.560 --> 01:48:13.359
of men and women who have stepped into the shadows,
1990
01:48:14.159 --> 01:48:16.960
and so I tell you tonight, the unusual story of
1991
01:48:17.800 --> 01:48:23.560
the other Woman. Olivia Martin paces the floor of her bedroom.
1992
01:48:24.000 --> 01:48:27.239
She's been pacing for hours, and it is now long
1993
01:48:27.399 --> 01:48:31.159
past midnight. Her husband, Fred Martin, did not come home
1994
01:48:31.199 --> 01:48:35.479
to dinner. He was detained at his office on business.
1995
01:48:35.119 --> 01:48:35.920
So he said.
1996
01:48:36.800 --> 01:48:39.640
But Olivia knows that it isn't his advertising business that
1997
01:48:39.720 --> 01:48:42.600
attains him. And she knows too that tonight will be
1998
01:48:42.640 --> 01:48:45.920
the climax and the final crash of their marriage, the
1999
01:48:46.079 --> 01:48:49.159
end of everything for Olivia. She knows what Fred is
2000
01:48:49.199 --> 01:48:52.039
going to say tonight. For months she has been fearful
2001
01:48:52.039 --> 01:48:54.600
of this moment, and now it has come.
2002
01:48:56.560 --> 01:48:58.159
Olivia, you're awake.
2003
01:48:58.920 --> 01:49:02.640
Yes, h I thought you might be asleep.
2004
01:49:03.279 --> 01:49:05.840
How could I sleep? You know better than that.
2005
01:49:06.760 --> 01:49:10.680
It's one o'clock, isn't it. Yes, I didn't realize it
2006
01:49:10.680 --> 01:49:11.159
was that Lately.
2007
01:49:11.880 --> 01:49:15.760
You don't usually bother to see if I'm awake. For
2008
01:49:15.840 --> 01:49:18.560
the past two months you passed right onto your own room.
2009
01:49:19.119 --> 01:49:22.039
Yes, yes, I guess I haven't.
2010
01:49:21.960 --> 01:49:23.119
Get your business settled.
2011
01:49:23.560 --> 01:49:25.800
Yes, yes, I had quite a bit to attend.
2012
01:49:25.560 --> 01:49:27.000
To have dinner at the club.
2013
01:49:28.399 --> 01:49:30.079
Oh, yes, at the club.
2014
01:49:31.239 --> 01:49:35.239
Then why didn't you answer my call? I had you paged?
2015
01:49:35.960 --> 01:49:37.680
They said you hadn't been there this evening.
2016
01:49:37.880 --> 01:49:42.600
Oh, perhaps I hadn't arrived dinner. Really, what did you want?
2017
01:49:43.399 --> 01:49:44.439
I don't know.
2018
01:49:44.479 --> 01:49:47.199
I don't remember now what I called you?
2019
01:49:47.239 --> 01:49:51.760
See, well, I don't turning?
2020
01:49:52.439 --> 01:49:53.840
Then why don't you say it?
2021
01:49:54.079 --> 01:49:54.399
Say what?
2022
01:49:54.800 --> 01:49:55.920
But you came here to say?
2023
01:49:56.560 --> 01:49:58.399
Do you think I had anything particular to say?
2024
01:49:58.520 --> 01:50:02.239
I don't know how, But I've known all evening you
2025
01:50:02.239 --> 01:50:03.520
were planning to tell me something.
2026
01:50:03.319 --> 01:50:03.920
When you got here.
2027
01:50:04.000 --> 01:50:06.640
Oh that's not no, Fred, I've known for months this
2028
01:50:06.760 --> 01:50:10.039
is coming. I know what sort of business at change?
2029
01:50:10.079 --> 01:50:11.960
You another woman?
2030
01:50:12.720 --> 01:50:14.359
What first?
2031
01:50:14.399 --> 01:50:15.000
I believed you.
2032
01:50:16.199 --> 01:50:19.039
As the weeks passed and I realized you were going colder,
2033
01:50:19.800 --> 01:50:23.199
the whole thing became clear to me, and I knew
2034
01:50:23.199 --> 01:50:25.680
you were evading me, that you were lying about those
2035
01:50:25.680 --> 01:50:26.800
business appointments at night.
2036
01:50:27.399 --> 01:50:27.680
Go on.
2037
01:50:28.000 --> 01:50:30.800
We've been married ten years. Fred, I've done everything humanly
2038
01:50:30.840 --> 01:50:33.720
possible to make our marriage of success. I think I have,
2039
01:50:33.840 --> 01:50:34.800
at least I have tried.
2040
01:50:34.920 --> 01:50:37.119
That's your opinion, a living Why didn't.
2041
01:50:36.880 --> 01:50:39.000
You come right out and tell me about this woman
2042
01:50:39.000 --> 01:50:39.800
at the very beginning?
2043
01:50:39.840 --> 01:50:40.399
Why should I?
2044
01:50:41.039 --> 01:50:46.359
Oh, I've tried not to believe.
2045
01:50:46.600 --> 01:50:48.239
Oh, let's not have a scene, Olivia.
2046
01:50:48.359 --> 01:50:50.079
Would you expect me to do at all?
2047
01:50:50.439 --> 01:50:50.800
No?
2048
01:50:50.880 --> 01:50:52.560
Not you, Olivia, certainly not you.
2049
01:50:53.079 --> 01:50:55.199
I suppose you'll say it's all my fault. I am
2050
01:50:55.239 --> 01:50:58.680
to blame for everything. It's well, isn't that what you're
2051
01:50:58.680 --> 01:51:00.800
trying to say? I haven't Suddenly, then why don't you
2052
01:51:00.880 --> 01:51:01.479
say something?
2053
01:51:01.800 --> 01:51:02.920
Why do you beat about the push?
2054
01:51:02.920 --> 01:51:03.880
You can here to say something?
2055
01:51:03.960 --> 01:51:05.439
Say it very well that you put it that way.
2056
01:51:05.479 --> 01:51:05.840
I will.
2057
01:51:06.520 --> 01:51:09.239
I'm going out of town tomorrow business. I'm sending my
2058
01:51:09.279 --> 01:51:11.479
things to the club. When I return, I intend to
2059
01:51:11.520 --> 01:51:14.039
live there. Wait a minute, Olivia, I haven't finished yet.
2060
01:51:15.279 --> 01:51:17.479
I want you to get a divorce on any ground
2061
01:51:17.520 --> 01:51:21.479
you please, desertion or whatever you wish divorce?
2062
01:51:22.439 --> 01:51:23.000
Do you mean that?
2063
01:51:23.680 --> 01:51:24.079
I do.
2064
01:51:25.920 --> 01:51:29.760
Very well, that's the way you want it. There's nothing
2065
01:51:29.760 --> 01:51:30.680
else I can do.
2066
01:51:30.840 --> 01:51:44.800
No, Olivia, nothing. Good night. So Olivia solves herself to sleep.
2067
01:51:45.680 --> 01:51:48.680
When morning comes, she finds bread gone and his thing's
2068
01:51:48.720 --> 01:51:53.199
already sent for the club. All day she wanders aimlessly.
2069
01:51:52.720 --> 01:51:54.680
About the house like a lost soul.
2070
01:51:55.920 --> 01:51:58.560
Then, as night falls and her loneliness increases, she has
2071
01:51:58.600 --> 01:52:03.079
seemed to the horrible feeling of hopelessness. A strange depression
2072
01:52:03.159 --> 01:52:05.319
comes over her, and she sits down at the desk
2073
01:52:05.359 --> 01:52:09.079
and writes a note Fred.
2074
01:52:09.560 --> 01:52:12.119
The very thought of losing you, the thought of divorce,
2075
01:52:12.840 --> 01:52:14.600
the thought of giving you up for another woman, is
2076
01:52:14.640 --> 01:52:18.000
more than I can bear. The shame, the disgrace, the
2077
01:52:18.039 --> 01:52:21.279
scandal of it all, would, I know, drive me insane.
2078
01:52:21.920 --> 01:52:24.640
Regardless of what you may think, I refuse to accept
2079
01:52:24.640 --> 01:52:27.600
the responsibility of the favor of our marriage. I know
2080
01:52:27.680 --> 01:52:31.159
who caused it, and I know who she is. You'd
2081
01:52:31.199 --> 01:52:33.239
never be happy with a woman of her type. You'll
2082
01:52:33.279 --> 01:52:35.640
be throwing your life away. I refuse to give you
2083
01:52:35.720 --> 01:52:48.800
up to her. So I have made a decision. Goodbye, Fred, Olivia.
2084
01:52:44.520 --> 01:52:53.479
Olivia addresses the note of Fred at his club, steps
2085
01:52:53.560 --> 01:52:55.640
out and drops it in the newest mail box.
2086
01:52:56.720 --> 01:52:59.039
She wanders about for a while, then.
2087
01:52:59.039 --> 01:53:02.000
Returns to the end the house, takes the sleeping tablets,
2088
01:53:02.000 --> 01:53:06.800
and goes to bed. Then the next morning, at Fred's office, Dora's,
2089
01:53:06.880 --> 01:53:09.640
Fred's private secretary is going over some teething.
2090
01:53:13.279 --> 01:53:18.680
Yes very well, plea on Hello, Yes, mister Goldberg, this
2091
01:53:18.760 --> 01:53:20.600
is doors Hammond. Mister Martin's out of town for a
2092
01:53:20.640 --> 01:53:24.640
few days. Yes well, Miss Bartow is head of the
2093
01:53:24.720 --> 01:53:32.479
art department. I'll have her check on it right away. Yes, yeah, goodbye, Yes,
2094
01:53:32.840 --> 01:53:34.840
tell Rita Bartow to come in here, Pete. Miss barn
2095
01:53:35.000 --> 01:53:36.800
wasn't coming in today. She's staying home.
2096
01:53:37.000 --> 01:53:37.800
Has a bad coat.
2097
01:53:38.119 --> 01:53:40.319
I see, well, we'll send Jack Mallory in then.
2098
01:53:40.479 --> 01:53:46.439
Yes to Hammond, do you want to see me miss Hammon?
2099
01:53:46.520 --> 01:53:46.600
Oh?
2100
01:53:46.680 --> 01:53:49.199
Yes, Jack, I understand Rita's ill isn't coming in today.
2101
01:53:49.359 --> 01:53:50.039
No, I guess not.
2102
01:53:50.239 --> 01:53:50.479
Well.
2103
01:53:50.520 --> 01:53:53.079
Mister Goldberg over at Lake Laboratories wants to know which
2104
01:53:53.239 --> 01:53:54.479
ed she intended to run next week.
2105
01:53:55.079 --> 01:53:56.399
Only Rita knows about that.
2106
01:53:56.600 --> 01:53:58.600
Perhaps we better send them over to Rita's apartment and
2107
01:53:58.640 --> 01:54:00.000
have her select the one she wants to use.
2108
01:54:00.119 --> 01:54:02.399
You very well, who shall I send?
2109
01:54:03.960 --> 01:54:05.960
Well, I don't know of anyone who'd rather go on
2110
01:54:06.039 --> 01:54:07.079
that errand than you. Jack.
2111
01:54:07.760 --> 01:54:09.840
Well, I'll go if you insist.
2112
01:54:10.039 --> 01:54:12.720
I don't think I have to insist, especially where Rita
2113
01:54:12.800 --> 01:54:13.399
is concerned.
2114
01:54:13.960 --> 01:54:15.800
All right, I'll run over there.
2115
01:54:15.920 --> 01:54:16.680
I thought you would.
2116
01:54:16.960 --> 01:54:18.600
Thanks to see you later.
2117
01:54:29.960 --> 01:54:33.399
Hello, Rida, this is Doris Hammond. Yes, how do you
2118
01:54:33.439 --> 01:54:36.640
feel a fair good? Mister Goldberg wants to know which
2119
01:54:36.640 --> 01:54:39.279
ad you're selected for next week. I'm sending Jack Mallory
2120
01:54:39.279 --> 01:54:40.840
over with the layout. He should be there in a
2121
01:54:40.840 --> 01:54:43.840
short while. Very well, I forgotten which it was and
2122
01:54:43.920 --> 01:54:46.319
send Jack back as soon as possible. You'll hang around
2123
01:54:46.319 --> 01:54:48.560
all day. If you don't, I will don't worry.
2124
01:54:48.640 --> 01:55:05.399
Good Bye, bye, Hello, Reda. How do you feel?
2125
01:55:05.520 --> 01:55:05.800
Oh?
2126
01:55:06.359 --> 01:55:09.600
All right, Joe, didn't feel like coming to your office today.
2127
01:55:10.000 --> 01:55:11.279
I thought you had a bad cold.
2128
01:55:11.399 --> 01:55:13.960
No, not too bad. I'll be all right tomorrow.
2129
01:55:14.560 --> 01:55:17.000
Mister Goldberg wants you to select the layout for the
2130
01:55:17.039 --> 01:55:19.720
next week. Here they are, Which do you want?
2131
01:55:20.359 --> 01:55:20.600
Well?
2132
01:55:21.359 --> 01:55:24.560
I planned on this one, but I think you should
2133
01:55:24.640 --> 01:55:26.079
make this section in red.
2134
01:55:26.399 --> 01:55:28.680
Oh, I see that's easy. I'll fix it up in
2135
01:55:28.680 --> 01:55:29.159
the jiffy.
2136
01:55:29.479 --> 01:55:30.720
Danny's out better this way.
2137
01:55:31.399 --> 01:55:33.000
Well, here was this one for the week following.
2138
01:55:33.119 --> 01:55:38.600
Okay, you look mighty lovely, Reda three. Where were you
2139
01:55:38.640 --> 01:55:39.600
going all that stuff?
2140
01:55:40.000 --> 01:55:41.520
I've got to go out of town this afternoon. On
2141
01:55:41.560 --> 01:55:44.560
that to Henderson deal. I wanted to put it off
2142
01:55:44.600 --> 01:55:46.800
until next week, but mister Martin insisted that I get
2143
01:55:46.800 --> 01:55:49.159
it settled as im as possible. I'll be back on
2144
01:55:49.239 --> 01:55:50.319
the afternoon playing tomorrow.
2145
01:55:50.640 --> 01:55:52.520
You shouldn't be running around too much, darling.
2146
01:55:53.000 --> 01:55:55.399
I don't really have a cold. That's fineness.
2147
01:55:55.479 --> 01:55:56.960
You've got a lot of trouble with that in the
2148
01:55:57.000 --> 01:55:57.680
past year or so.
2149
01:55:58.119 --> 01:56:01.840
Yes, there's nothing much commit about it, I guess, Thank heavens,
2150
01:56:01.880 --> 01:56:02.960
it only strikes me in winter.
2151
01:56:04.079 --> 01:56:07.159
Why don't you try a change of climate, reader, change
2152
01:56:07.199 --> 01:56:07.720
of climate?
2153
01:56:08.560 --> 01:56:11.840
I should think you'd like California. I've always wanted to
2154
01:56:11.840 --> 01:56:14.840
go there. I've had an idea that I could do
2155
01:56:14.960 --> 01:56:18.159
very well, nice jobs in the movie art departments.
2156
01:56:18.520 --> 01:56:19.680
I'm not interested in the movie.
2157
01:56:20.359 --> 01:56:23.880
I thought about going out there and settling down, buying
2158
01:56:23.880 --> 01:56:26.600
a nice little home, and really enjoying life.
2159
01:56:27.079 --> 01:56:30.159
Why should a bachelor do all that? You have ideas
2160
01:56:30.159 --> 01:56:31.159
about getting married? Jack?
2161
01:56:32.600 --> 01:56:36.000
Yes, yes, I have everything good.
2162
01:56:36.399 --> 01:56:37.119
I'm glad to hear it.
2163
01:56:38.479 --> 01:56:39.600
What time does your plane leave?
2164
01:56:39.920 --> 01:56:40.119
Two?
2165
01:56:41.279 --> 01:56:42.960
How about little lunch while you're waiting something?
2166
01:56:43.039 --> 01:56:43.279
Want?
2167
01:56:43.600 --> 01:56:44.119
No, you will.
2168
01:56:44.359 --> 01:56:46.159
I'll leave your bag here. We'll pick it up later.
2169
01:56:46.359 --> 01:56:46.760
All right.
2170
01:56:47.520 --> 01:56:50.079
I've got something important to talk to you about.
2171
01:56:50.079 --> 01:56:51.359
Reading important.
2172
01:56:51.680 --> 01:56:54.800
Yeah, I got a nice braise this week.
2173
01:56:55.000 --> 01:56:56.800
That's fine, Jack, I want to.
2174
01:56:56.800 --> 01:57:02.279
Ask you a questions about you and me. Go ahead, No, no,
2175
01:57:02.279 --> 01:57:04.840
not now, come on, we'll talk about it during lunch.
2176
01:57:13.439 --> 01:57:17.600
Meanwhile, Olivia Martin, having made the decision and formulated a plan,
2177
01:57:18.319 --> 01:57:20.760
visits her husband's office and calls on Dallas.
2178
01:57:21.039 --> 01:57:24.680
This tetricay, good afternoon, miss Hammond.
2179
01:57:24.840 --> 01:57:28.319
Oh how hard are you doing, missus Martin? How were
2180
01:57:28.479 --> 01:57:30.359
just going out to lunch? Would you join me?
2181
01:57:30.479 --> 01:57:32.680
I'm sign as harmon. I'm afraid I haven't time. I'm
2182
01:57:32.720 --> 01:57:34.600
another hurry. I have a number of things to know
2183
01:57:34.720 --> 01:57:35.359
this afternoon.
2184
01:57:35.560 --> 01:57:36.239
Can I help you?
2185
01:57:36.600 --> 01:57:37.680
I suppose you're quite.
2186
01:57:37.479 --> 01:57:39.880
Busy as Yes, my work is always double when Fred
2187
01:57:39.960 --> 01:57:41.159
Ley's down Fred.
2188
01:57:42.640 --> 01:57:45.600
Yes, mister Martin, oh, my husband.
2189
01:57:45.760 --> 01:57:47.880
I further, it does seem strange for an employee to
2190
01:57:47.960 --> 01:57:50.800
call him Fred. But for some reason, I've gotten into
2191
01:57:50.800 --> 01:57:53.199
the habit and this can't seem to break it. He
2192
01:57:53.239 --> 01:57:54.680
doesn't need the mind, however.
2193
01:57:54.600 --> 01:57:58.840
That's so I can imagine he wouldn't, after all, your like, well,
2194
01:57:59.039 --> 01:58:00.760
like one of the family in this ham.
2195
01:58:01.399 --> 01:58:03.119
Yes, I've been here for two years.
2196
01:58:03.359 --> 01:58:05.520
You've been, said private secretary for how long?
2197
01:58:05.560 --> 01:58:05.720
Now?
2198
01:58:05.960 --> 01:58:09.239
Almost a year? It doesn't seem that long pleasants work,
2199
01:58:09.319 --> 01:58:12.039
isn't it most interesting? You have no idea how distorbing
2200
01:58:12.079 --> 01:58:13.439
this business can be, missus Martin.
2201
01:58:13.880 --> 01:58:15.760
But I realized it must have a certain amount of
2202
01:58:15.800 --> 01:58:17.000
extremely interesting moments.
2203
01:58:18.239 --> 01:58:20.039
I think you should come around more often.
2204
01:58:19.840 --> 01:58:20.399
Missus Monty.
2205
01:58:20.640 --> 01:58:21.600
How right you are?
2206
01:58:22.119 --> 01:58:27.640
Things might have been different different. Yeah, I mean if
2207
01:58:27.760 --> 01:58:29.119
I had taken an.
2208
01:58:29.000 --> 01:58:33.119
Active interest in the business. Well, at times that gets
2209
01:58:33.199 --> 01:58:33.640
rather doll.
2210
01:58:33.760 --> 01:58:36.439
Waiting at home set me on long evenings when your
2211
01:58:36.479 --> 01:58:38.439
husband has to stay in powerl on business.
2212
01:58:38.640 --> 01:58:41.159
I suppose it is rather a doll under those conditions.
2213
01:58:41.520 --> 01:58:44.920
Yeah, that I m can take up the time with
2214
01:58:45.039 --> 01:58:47.399
personal problems. I want you to have a check drawn
2215
01:58:47.479 --> 01:58:48.600
for me for five hundred dollars.
2216
01:58:48.760 --> 01:58:50.039
Very well, I'll attend to it at once.
2217
01:58:51.800 --> 01:58:53.399
Have you heard and spread thinking left?
2218
01:58:53.680 --> 01:58:54.560
No? I haven't.
2219
01:58:55.359 --> 01:58:56.439
He phoned me this morning?
2220
01:58:56.800 --> 01:58:57.119
You did.
2221
01:58:57.479 --> 01:58:59.920
Yeah, he's an important paper at home and he knew
2222
01:59:00.000 --> 01:59:02.279
I was flying to Detroit tonight to visit my relatives.
2223
01:59:02.640 --> 01:59:04.279
So he wants me to drop it off on the
2224
01:59:04.319 --> 01:59:07.199
Buffalo Buffalo. I thought he was in Boston.
2225
01:59:08.520 --> 01:59:11.720
Yes he was, but he had to rush over to Buffalo.
2226
01:59:11.920 --> 01:59:14.279
Some unexpected business came up and he says.
2227
01:59:14.000 --> 01:59:15.239
He needs you very badly.
2228
01:59:15.520 --> 01:59:17.159
He wants me to come to Buffalo.
2229
01:59:17.399 --> 01:59:19.920
Yes, I told him I notify you and bring you
2230
01:59:19.960 --> 01:59:22.640
with me. I believe in the airport about five thirty.
2231
01:59:23.000 --> 01:59:24.640
Can you meet me there or shall I pick you
2232
01:59:24.720 --> 01:59:25.039
up here.
2233
01:59:25.159 --> 01:59:27.720
Well, i'll meet you at the airport. I'll have to
2234
01:59:27.800 --> 01:59:30.199
run home for a few minutes. Is there anything in
2235
01:59:30.199 --> 01:59:31.399
particular he wants me to bring.
2236
01:59:31.760 --> 01:59:33.920
No, nothing with the taper he left at home.
2237
01:59:34.279 --> 01:59:36.039
Very well, I'll be at the airporter on five.
2238
01:59:36.560 --> 01:59:38.199
Do you mind flying with him?
2239
01:59:38.479 --> 01:59:39.239
No, no at all.
2240
01:59:39.640 --> 01:59:40.199
It's good.
2241
01:59:40.760 --> 01:59:43.199
I played as a small cabin. John might be a
2242
01:59:43.239 --> 01:59:46.520
little bumpy, but I'm rather a good pilot.
2243
01:59:46.920 --> 01:59:47.399
I'll see you.
2244
01:59:47.399 --> 01:59:47.800
What's five?
2245
01:59:58.279 --> 02:00:04.640
Shortly afternoon rain begin around him. The storm becomes heavier.
2246
02:00:05.640 --> 02:00:08.119
Then Jack with turn Jack Merray. Where on earth to
2247
02:00:08.159 --> 02:00:09.399
do Ben? Do you know what time it is?
2248
02:00:09.560 --> 02:00:12.640
Yes, I'm sorry. I got to talking and didn't realize
2249
02:00:12.680 --> 02:00:12.960
they are.
2250
02:00:13.039 --> 02:00:14.800
But what about the layout? Did we the sellect one?
2251
02:00:14.920 --> 02:00:17.399
Yeah? This one? She made a couple of changes in it.
2252
02:00:17.479 --> 02:00:18.960
So what changed?
2253
02:00:19.079 --> 02:00:19.279
Oh?
2254
02:00:19.439 --> 02:00:22.680
Nothing important. Just one of this section set up in red,
2255
02:00:23.119 --> 02:00:23.880
stands out better.
2256
02:00:25.119 --> 02:00:26.119
Yeah, so it does.
2257
02:00:26.880 --> 02:00:30.600
Well, I'd better put it through right away. I'm sorry
2258
02:00:30.640 --> 02:00:31.560
to have been so late with it.
2259
02:00:31.640 --> 02:00:33.520
I'm glad you got back with it before I left.
2260
02:00:34.119 --> 02:00:37.319
Left. Where were you going, mister Martin phone?
2261
02:00:37.399 --> 02:00:39.600
He wants me to join him in Buffalo. Something important
2262
02:00:39.600 --> 02:00:40.880
to come up Buffalo?
2263
02:00:42.039 --> 02:00:43.119
I thought he was in Boston.
2264
02:00:43.319 --> 02:00:44.680
He had to run over there in a hurry.
2265
02:00:45.319 --> 02:00:51.039
Buffalo strange with strange huh? Oh?
2266
02:00:51.039 --> 02:00:53.199
Oh, well, I mean he's being in Buffalo.
2267
02:00:53.600 --> 02:00:54.560
What's strange about it?
2268
02:00:55.119 --> 02:00:58.560
Oh, I don't know. I suppose he could be in Buffalo.
2269
02:00:59.199 --> 02:00:59.640
Were with you?
2270
02:00:59.760 --> 02:01:00.000
Jack?
2271
02:01:00.359 --> 02:01:02.399
Why? Or nothing? Nothing wrong?
2272
02:01:03.119 --> 02:01:03.800
Lean over here?
2273
02:01:04.000 --> 02:01:06.159
Why? Why?
2274
02:01:06.520 --> 02:01:07.319
A little closet?
2275
02:01:08.800 --> 02:01:09.039
Hmm?
2276
02:01:09.840 --> 02:01:10.399
What's the matter?
2277
02:01:10.880 --> 02:01:15.239
Well of all things, and how I've seen everything? You
2278
02:01:15.399 --> 02:01:16.399
actually had a drink?
2279
02:01:16.680 --> 02:01:17.800
You and old people?
2280
02:01:18.199 --> 02:01:21.000
Well, I I don't approve of it as a rule,
2281
02:01:21.560 --> 02:01:24.159
but I walked back from Rita's place, and I got
2282
02:01:24.199 --> 02:01:25.960
my feet a little wet in the rain, felt kind
2283
02:01:25.960 --> 02:01:29.199
of chilly, afraid of was catching cold.
2284
02:01:29.239 --> 02:01:31.319
So I dropped in at the bar on the way
2285
02:01:31.359 --> 02:01:32.119
back and had a drink.
2286
02:01:32.199 --> 02:01:33.520
Oh, I hope you don't get sick.
2287
02:01:33.800 --> 02:01:34.720
Can't afford to have you and.
2288
02:01:34.760 --> 02:01:35.439
Rita both out.
2289
02:01:35.640 --> 02:01:37.560
Oh that's right. A lot of work to be done
2290
02:01:37.560 --> 02:01:37.880
this week.
2291
02:01:37.880 --> 02:01:39.960
I'm here to take all that top coat. It's damn
2292
02:01:40.119 --> 02:01:42.119
Let me have it now, hang it over the radiator.
2293
02:01:43.840 --> 02:01:46.880
Well, what's wrong on earth?
2294
02:01:46.920 --> 02:01:47.439
Did you do this?
2295
02:01:47.600 --> 02:01:49.079
You stilled ink on the front of your coat?
2296
02:01:49.880 --> 02:01:54.239
Yes, well, what do you know? Fine thing? I just
2297
02:01:54.279 --> 02:01:55.119
got it yesterday.
2298
02:01:56.039 --> 02:01:57.680
I must have done that over at radas when I
2299
02:01:58.000 --> 02:02:00.640
blocked that section and read as soon as.
2300
02:02:00.560 --> 02:02:03.680
Possible, haven many a towel from that closet and dampen it, or.
2301
02:02:03.680 --> 02:02:06.039
Don't bother dos, I'll let it clean the mom.
2302
02:02:06.000 --> 02:02:11.359
Get some of it out now, thanks's me hard to
2303
02:02:11.399 --> 02:02:11.840
get off.
2304
02:02:12.319 --> 02:02:15.600
It's probably dried in by now. The clearers can get it.
2305
02:02:15.680 --> 02:02:20.199
Does strangers ink? I ever thought, doesn't mean to be
2306
02:02:20.239 --> 02:02:23.880
ink more like blood if you ask me blood.
2307
02:02:24.800 --> 02:02:25.520
Let me see.
2308
02:02:27.760 --> 02:02:33.079
It's strange. Let me see that layout does seem a
2309
02:02:33.119 --> 02:02:36.279
little darker than it's on the card. None of the
2310
02:02:36.359 --> 02:02:39.760
cloth has something to do with it. Perhaps better let
2311
02:02:39.800 --> 02:02:43.000
the cleaners worry about it. What time are you leaving, dolls?
2312
02:02:43.479 --> 02:02:45.760
In a few minutes. I'm flying from the airport around five.
2313
02:02:46.279 --> 02:02:48.920
Well, good luck does see you in a few days.
2314
02:02:48.920 --> 02:02:52.640
Thanks to take care of yourself and lay off the liquor.
2315
02:02:53.039 --> 02:02:54.640
That's bad stuff to get started on.
2316
02:02:55.359 --> 02:02:56.239
Are you kidding?
2317
02:02:56.800 --> 02:02:57.560
What do you think?
2318
02:03:06.520 --> 02:03:09.199
Or a few brief moments, Doris stands staring at the
2319
02:03:09.319 --> 02:03:11.880
jack as he passes through the door to the outer office.
2320
02:03:12.520 --> 02:03:15.479
Then she picks up the towels, studies it for a moment.
2321
02:03:16.479 --> 02:03:19.359
Suddenly she tosses it into the desk drawer, leaves the
2322
02:03:19.399 --> 02:03:20.479
office and goes home.
2323
02:03:21.640 --> 02:03:24.720
Then around five, Doris meets Olivia at the airport.
2324
02:03:27.439 --> 02:03:29.640
Well, missus Martin, do you think we should try it tonight?
2325
02:03:30.039 --> 02:03:32.000
You mean you got not go? Are you fighting?
2326
02:03:32.039 --> 02:03:34.119
Oh? No, no, not exactly?
2327
02:03:34.279 --> 02:03:36.399
Frightened to storm's path? What's wrong?
2328
02:03:36.520 --> 02:03:36.640
What?
2329
02:03:37.720 --> 02:03:41.000
I don't really know? Nothing I get have nothing to
2330
02:03:41.039 --> 02:03:44.039
worry about. I've flown this plane in all kinds of weather. Yes,
2331
02:03:44.159 --> 02:03:51.880
of course, Well we're all fat. Let's climb in. I
2332
02:03:51.920 --> 02:03:53.600
wish I could have talked to Fred. I haven't the
2333
02:03:53.640 --> 02:03:56.199
quittest idea what this is all about? You know what
2334
02:03:56.279 --> 02:03:59.520
it's all about? In no time at all? What you'll
2335
02:03:59.520 --> 02:04:00.600
get there in a couple of hours.
2336
02:04:00.600 --> 02:04:15.760
Don't worry.
2337
02:04:16.399 --> 02:04:17.479
How far are we coming now?
2338
02:04:18.159 --> 02:04:18.439
Oh?
2339
02:04:18.479 --> 02:04:20.520
I don't know about seventy five miles?
2340
02:04:20.560 --> 02:04:21.119
I should say?
2341
02:04:21.319 --> 02:04:21.880
Where are we?
2342
02:04:21.960 --> 02:04:22.880
I can't see a thing.
2343
02:04:23.399 --> 02:04:24.840
We're not far from Montcello?
2344
02:04:25.039 --> 02:04:26.520
How can you tell? Can't can you see that?
2345
02:04:26.640 --> 02:04:26.960
Domar?
2346
02:04:27.479 --> 02:04:30.319
No? Not too well. I'm flying by instrument.
2347
02:04:30.520 --> 02:04:33.079
I hope we don't run into a storm. Frankly, I
2348
02:04:33.119 --> 02:04:34.880
don't like to be in a plane during a storm.
2349
02:04:35.199 --> 02:04:37.359
Well, I don't know of anyone who really does.
2350
02:04:37.520 --> 02:04:38.840
We could have taken a train.
2351
02:04:39.560 --> 02:04:42.520
We could have, but on this particular trip I was
2352
02:04:42.560 --> 02:04:45.439
in somewhat of a hurry to get to my destination.
2353
02:04:47.359 --> 02:04:50.760
Tell me, doth uh? May I call you?
2354
02:04:50.840 --> 02:04:52.279
Door? Of course?
2355
02:04:52.880 --> 02:04:54.800
I'm sure just a bit upset over this trip?
2356
02:04:55.640 --> 02:04:58.760
What do you mean just that? Do I seem upset?
2357
02:04:58.920 --> 02:04:59.119
Yes?
2358
02:04:59.199 --> 02:05:00.359
You do?
2359
02:05:00.399 --> 02:05:02.039
Something playing on your mind?
2360
02:05:03.000 --> 02:05:03.239
Yes?
2361
02:05:04.359 --> 02:05:07.680
If there is something bothering me? So what is it?
2362
02:05:07.600 --> 02:05:11.039
It's rather a guilty conscience, filthy conscience. Isn't that what
2363
02:05:11.119 --> 02:05:11.479
it is?
2364
02:05:12.079 --> 02:05:13.560
What are you talking about?
2365
02:05:14.560 --> 02:05:17.520
Are you looking forward to a nice visit in Buffalo where?
2366
02:05:18.279 --> 02:05:20.199
I don't know. I don't consider it a visit.
2367
02:05:20.239 --> 02:05:23.399
It's part of my job, and a very pleasant job too.
2368
02:05:24.680 --> 02:05:26.760
I'm sure you'll miss the job that is.
2369
02:05:26.760 --> 02:05:31.039
A tendant interest, working late at night, several nights a
2370
02:05:31.119 --> 02:05:34.239
week with friends. What do you mean by that? Why
2371
02:05:34.239 --> 02:05:35.199
should I lose my job?
2372
02:05:35.319 --> 02:05:37.119
Your job isn't all you're going to lose.
2373
02:05:37.279 --> 02:05:38.399
Do you know what you're saying?
2374
02:05:38.479 --> 02:05:40.960
Yes? And you know what I'm talking about. You're crazy.
2375
02:05:40.920 --> 02:05:41.920
Bread isn't in Buffalo.
2376
02:05:42.039 --> 02:05:42.439
Where is it?
2377
02:05:42.520 --> 02:05:43.000
I don't know?
2378
02:05:43.239 --> 02:05:44.960
But wherever he is, you'll never see him again.
2379
02:05:44.960 --> 02:05:45.560
Your little chief.
2380
02:05:45.600 --> 02:05:47.119
Put this plane down and let me out you.
2381
02:05:47.479 --> 02:05:49.439
I'm going to put it down, straight down. No what
2382
02:05:49.800 --> 02:05:51.720
seed won't think you're though attracted. Next time you see
2383
02:05:51.800 --> 02:05:56.520
you know you're out of your mind. You can't do this,
2384
02:05:56.600 --> 02:05:57.039
You can't.
2385
02:05:57.159 --> 02:06:02.199
You can't keep the switch my war, Honey, I want
2386
02:06:02.239 --> 02:06:03.479
you give me that key.
2387
02:06:15.439 --> 02:06:18.640
By some strange quirk of fate, Olivia is foiled in
2388
02:06:18.680 --> 02:06:22.600
our plan of suicide and murder. A farmer rushes to
2389
02:06:22.640 --> 02:06:27.319
the crash, finds Olivia thrown clear and I'm still alive now
2390
02:06:27.359 --> 02:06:29.399
an hour later in my farmhouse.
2391
02:06:32.840 --> 02:06:36.920
Uh ah, and you, fear man?
2392
02:06:37.600 --> 02:06:40.079
What why? Who are you?
2393
02:06:40.279 --> 02:06:42.359
I'm Doc Sanders Doctor.
2394
02:06:43.439 --> 02:06:44.920
Where where am i here?
2395
02:06:44.960 --> 02:06:47.800
On Jake Barrett's farm? Found you right after the crash?
2396
02:06:48.119 --> 02:06:48.600
Leave me.
2397
02:06:48.760 --> 02:06:51.680
You're mighty lucky, lucky? What do you mean?
2398
02:06:52.079 --> 02:06:54.239
You were thrown clear when you hit the tree tops,
2399
02:06:54.399 --> 02:06:56.319
got off a few scratches and a couple of rattling
2400
02:06:56.359 --> 02:06:58.840
good bumps, but not a busted bone any place where.
2401
02:06:59.119 --> 02:07:04.600
What happened to my j well, I'm.
2402
02:07:03.800 --> 02:07:09.680
Sorry to say she she's dead, dead, she's dead.
2403
02:07:10.399 --> 02:07:11.560
She wasn't as lucky as you.
2404
02:07:12.560 --> 02:07:15.840
I I'm lucky, am I don't you think so?
2405
02:07:16.920 --> 02:07:18.479
No? No, I don't.
2406
02:07:19.520 --> 02:07:20.520
I'm not lucky.
2407
02:07:23.479 --> 02:07:24.119
Take it easy.
2408
02:07:24.880 --> 02:07:27.560
I know how you feel, but you couldn't help it, ma'am.
2409
02:07:27.680 --> 02:07:31.439
These things just happen sometimes, do so they don't.
2410
02:07:32.079 --> 02:07:34.640
Well we're going to say, ma'am nothing.
2411
02:07:36.199 --> 02:07:39.399
I wasn't going to say anything.
2412
02:07:39.840 --> 02:07:43.000
Oh, well, they located your husband, ma'am. Jake's driving you
2413
02:07:43.039 --> 02:07:44.000
back to New York tonight.
2414
02:07:44.479 --> 02:07:45.520
You'll be all right.
2415
02:07:54.520 --> 02:07:58.319
Well, Olivia, now you are on the spot. Your vicious
2416
02:07:58.359 --> 02:08:00.560
plan was only partly as fault.
2417
02:08:00.880 --> 02:08:02.000
Now you've got the face.
2418
02:08:01.880 --> 02:08:04.439
Bread and how are you going to explain the situation?
2419
02:08:04.800 --> 02:08:08.479
How are you going to explain Darris's presence if you're plane.
2420
02:08:08.760 --> 02:08:11.960
Fred arrives in town, spends a few hours at his club,
2421
02:08:12.600 --> 02:08:16.720
then in the morning when he visits Olivia, Hello.
2422
02:08:16.479 --> 02:08:19.119
Ol of it so fas it was terrible.
2423
02:08:19.520 --> 02:08:22.560
Yes, I know, I'm very sorry, Olivia.
2424
02:08:23.199 --> 02:08:25.439
I don't know what happened. But all of a sudden,
2425
02:08:25.439 --> 02:08:28.880
the motor cut off. I couldn't find a clear spot anyplace.
2426
02:08:29.079 --> 02:08:31.239
I thought I saw a clearing, but it was more
2427
02:08:31.359 --> 02:08:33.680
trees and there's no motor. I couldn't pull up.
2428
02:08:33.880 --> 02:08:37.680
You were very fortunate, yes, I suppose. So where were
2429
02:08:37.720 --> 02:08:38.119
you going?
2430
02:08:38.920 --> 02:08:39.119
Why?
2431
02:08:39.560 --> 02:08:42.520
Well, after you left her, I got the thinking things
2432
02:08:42.520 --> 02:08:44.840
over and I just couldn't remain another night in this
2433
02:08:44.920 --> 02:08:47.399
house alone, so I decided to to go to my
2434
02:08:47.399 --> 02:08:48.479
sisters in Detroit.
2435
02:08:48.199 --> 02:08:48.720
For a while.
2436
02:08:50.439 --> 02:08:51.560
Why did you cry?
2437
02:08:52.159 --> 02:08:52.600
I don't know.
2438
02:08:52.680 --> 02:08:55.159
I just wanted to get away as fast as possible.
2439
02:08:55.359 --> 02:08:57.039
Wasn't it a rather bad night for flying?
2440
02:08:57.159 --> 02:08:59.680
No, I've flown in worse weather, so I'm it cleared.
2441
02:09:00.119 --> 02:09:09.840
I say, I was never so shocked in my life. No, no, no, no,
2442
02:09:11.000 --> 02:09:14.119
you couldn't up one of those things.
2443
02:09:15.000 --> 02:09:19.119
I know how you feel. Doris was very well. She
2444
02:09:19.199 --> 02:09:21.640
was a lovely girl, fishing.
2445
02:09:22.479 --> 02:09:26.760
She was young, had everything to live for. I know
2446
02:09:26.800 --> 02:09:31.359
how you miss steal Fred. Can you ever forgive me?
2447
02:09:31.439 --> 02:09:31.720
Friend?
2448
02:09:33.479 --> 02:09:36.600
Of course, I never want to fly a plate again.
2449
02:09:36.720 --> 02:09:40.680
Never. How did Doris happen to be with you? Or
2450
02:09:40.800 --> 02:09:42.840
was she going well?
2451
02:09:43.039 --> 02:09:45.680
She said she wanted to visit some friend in Buffalo,
2452
02:09:45.800 --> 02:09:47.159
asked me if I drop her off there?
2453
02:09:47.439 --> 02:09:49.439
How did you know you were flying that way?
2454
02:09:49.760 --> 02:09:52.920
Well, you see, I I went to your office and
2455
02:09:53.079 --> 02:09:55.239
told her I was going to Detroit and asked her
2456
02:09:55.279 --> 02:09:58.119
to do some money for me. Would I'd be glad
2457
02:09:58.159 --> 02:09:59.319
to put her down in Buffalo?
2458
02:09:59.359 --> 02:10:01.920
That's that's the I can't imagine why she leave the
2459
02:10:01.960 --> 02:10:03.640
office in the midle of the week to visit friends
2460
02:10:03.640 --> 02:10:04.239
out of town.
2461
02:10:05.239 --> 02:10:06.239
It wasn't like Doris.
2462
02:10:06.520 --> 02:10:08.920
Maybe she had some business to attend to on side.
2463
02:10:08.920 --> 02:10:12.119
Maybe I can't imagine what it might be.
2464
02:10:12.640 --> 02:10:15.279
Maybe maybe it was a personal business.
2465
02:10:15.399 --> 02:10:20.199
Possibly, Olivia, are you telling me the truth?
2466
02:10:20.760 --> 02:10:20.960
Why?
2467
02:10:21.479 --> 02:10:22.039
What do you mean?
2468
02:10:22.159 --> 02:10:24.159
Have you told me the real reason you wanted to
2469
02:10:24.239 --> 02:10:28.680
leave town? Certainly, weren't you well running from something?
2470
02:10:28.880 --> 02:10:30.039
What would I be running from?
2471
02:10:30.119 --> 02:10:31.079
You were carrying out a plan?
2472
02:10:31.159 --> 02:10:32.399
Weren't you plan?
2473
02:10:32.520 --> 02:10:34.560
Didn't you have a definite idea in mind when you
2474
02:10:34.600 --> 02:10:37.920
wrote that note to me? Note note? It seems you've
2475
02:10:37.960 --> 02:10:42.800
forgotten the note. Why don't you tell me the truth? Olivia?
2476
02:10:43.079 --> 02:10:46.039
Yes, it's that I did make up in mind too
2477
02:10:46.600 --> 02:10:50.439
to do something terrible. I was going to kill her
2478
02:10:51.079 --> 02:10:55.000
and myself. I couldn't stand it any longer. But after
2479
02:10:55.039 --> 02:10:56.720
I made it to you, I seem to come to
2480
02:10:56.760 --> 02:10:59.560
my sense of that. I saw things clearly, realized how
2481
02:10:59.600 --> 02:11:00.640
awful the thing would be.
2482
02:11:00.720 --> 02:11:02.119
I I just couldn't go through it.
2483
02:11:02.159 --> 02:11:03.920
So you decided to forget the idea and go on
2484
02:11:04.000 --> 02:11:04.680
to Detroit.
2485
02:11:04.840 --> 02:11:07.239
Yes, I swear I changed my mind about killing her.
2486
02:11:07.319 --> 02:11:08.359
I couldn't be a murderer.
2487
02:11:08.399 --> 02:11:10.560
You really expect me to believe that you must leave me.
2488
02:11:10.640 --> 02:11:14.520
You must please, I know what you think that everything
2489
02:11:14.560 --> 02:11:15.159
that's happened.
2490
02:11:15.359 --> 02:11:17.239
No, there's certainly definite evidence against you.
2491
02:11:17.600 --> 02:11:19.560
Yes that I swear I didn't.
2492
02:11:19.760 --> 02:11:22.399
That's easy to say. But the note is too convincing.
2493
02:11:22.439 --> 02:11:23.239
Where is the note?
2494
02:11:23.239 --> 02:11:24.079
You must destroy it.
2495
02:11:24.199 --> 02:11:25.159
Don't tell anyone about it?
2496
02:11:25.199 --> 02:11:25.680
Please spread.
2497
02:11:25.800 --> 02:11:28.039
What time was it when you visited my office?
2498
02:11:28.199 --> 02:11:29.920
I don't know, about noon, I think.
2499
02:11:30.000 --> 02:11:32.119
And you mailed the note the night before, yes, and
2500
02:11:32.159 --> 02:11:33.680
you made up your mind to leave town.
2501
02:11:34.159 --> 02:11:36.159
You went to the office, told Doris about.
2502
02:11:35.880 --> 02:11:37.720
It and left it five Yes, yes, that's right.
2503
02:11:38.920 --> 02:11:40.520
And what did you do in the meantime?
2504
02:11:41.439 --> 02:11:41.680
Why?
2505
02:11:42.439 --> 02:11:46.760
I can't remember. I'm so confused. I went shopping pro
2506
02:11:46.880 --> 02:11:48.800
while are you sure? I don't know.
2507
02:11:48.840 --> 02:11:51.159
I don't know, but I swear I changed my plan
2508
02:11:51.199 --> 02:11:52.239
by the time morning came.
2509
02:11:52.319 --> 02:11:53.880
You going to have a hard time proving all that
2510
02:11:54.000 --> 02:11:54.520
it's the truth.
2511
02:11:54.520 --> 02:11:55.920
Why shouldn't they believe the truth?
2512
02:11:56.039 --> 02:11:58.880
Circumstances all tie into well. We had separated the day
2513
02:11:58.920 --> 02:12:01.680
before I moved to the club. Several people knew about.
2514
02:12:01.439 --> 02:12:03.920
That, and in the note you said you knew who
2515
02:12:03.920 --> 02:12:07.399
the other woman was and stated clearly what you intended.
2516
02:12:07.000 --> 02:12:09.000
To do about it. I know, I know, And how
2517
02:12:09.039 --> 02:12:10.479
else can the police look at it?
2518
02:12:10.600 --> 02:12:11.119
Police?
2519
02:12:11.359 --> 02:12:12.279
What do they know about it?
2520
02:12:12.319 --> 02:12:15.000
They've been putting two and two together? Do they know
2521
02:12:15.039 --> 02:12:16.840
what's in the note waiting for me? When I got
2522
02:12:16.840 --> 02:12:19.720
back from Boston, they had already found the note. They
2523
02:12:19.720 --> 02:12:22.720
showed it to me. That's where you made your big
2524
02:12:22.760 --> 02:12:24.319
mistake overvia Fred.
2525
02:12:24.720 --> 02:12:26.680
They really think I killed her, murdered him?
2526
02:12:26.720 --> 02:12:27.479
They do?
2527
02:12:27.279 --> 02:12:28.359
What are they gonna do?
2528
02:12:28.479 --> 02:12:31.560
The detectives are here now, they want to talk with you.
2529
02:12:33.760 --> 02:12:37.279
Yes, I'll be calm verry.
2530
02:12:37.319 --> 02:12:43.560
Well, I'm coming in. Jetain Evans, Thank you, Olivia. This
2531
02:12:43.760 --> 02:12:46.720
is Captain Evans, and this is Lieutenant Davis.
2532
02:12:46.960 --> 02:12:47.439
How do you do.
2533
02:12:47.600 --> 02:12:48.800
Good morning, Missus Martin.
2534
02:12:49.720 --> 02:12:51.880
Did you, gentlemen, wish to see me?
2535
02:12:52.279 --> 02:12:54.760
Yes, I'd like to ask you a few questions.
2536
02:12:54.840 --> 02:12:58.520
Yes, yes, of course, But I hadn't done anything.
2537
02:12:58.560 --> 02:12:59.600
I'm absolutely innocent.
2538
02:12:59.720 --> 02:13:02.279
I yes, I know, Missus Martin. We don't want to
2539
02:13:02.359 --> 02:13:05.399
upset you. Just answer a few questions very well.
2540
02:13:05.720 --> 02:13:07.600
Is it true that your husband left you a few
2541
02:13:07.640 --> 02:13:10.079
days ago with the idea that you were to get
2542
02:13:10.079 --> 02:13:10.640
a divorce.
2543
02:13:10.960 --> 02:13:14.199
Yes, he took up residence at his club. Yes, you
2544
02:13:14.279 --> 02:13:16.560
believe that your husband was in love with another woman.
2545
02:13:16.960 --> 02:13:17.399
I did.
2546
02:13:17.720 --> 02:13:21.960
Did you know who that woman was? I?
2547
02:13:21.960 --> 02:13:22.359
I did.
2548
02:13:22.840 --> 02:13:25.279
Did you object to his leaving you getting a divorce?
2549
02:13:25.359 --> 02:13:27.039
Yes, yes I did.
2550
02:13:27.159 --> 02:13:29.800
Well after he left you, did you write this note
2551
02:13:29.800 --> 02:13:30.159
to him?
2552
02:13:30.520 --> 02:13:30.760
Yes?
2553
02:13:30.840 --> 02:13:32.319
Yes I wrote it, but I.
2554
02:13:32.680 --> 02:13:33.920
You mailed it to his club.
2555
02:13:34.439 --> 02:13:34.680
Yes.
2556
02:13:35.159 --> 02:13:37.239
Next day you got some money at his office.
2557
02:13:37.239 --> 02:13:40.479
About noon and exactly five o'clock you took off from
2558
02:13:40.520 --> 02:13:41.039
your plane.
2559
02:13:41.359 --> 02:13:44.439
Yes, but I'd changed my mind. I couldn't go through it,
2560
02:13:44.479 --> 02:13:44.920
and I didn't.
2561
02:13:44.920 --> 02:13:45.800
I swear I didn't.
2562
02:13:45.960 --> 02:13:49.880
Where were you, missus Martin? Between noon and five o'clock?
2563
02:13:50.920 --> 02:13:54.119
I went about town. I did little shopping. I don't
2564
02:13:54.119 --> 02:13:55.199
remember what else I did.
2565
02:13:55.800 --> 02:13:58.640
Can you prove where you were during that period? No?
2566
02:13:58.720 --> 02:13:59.760
I don't see how I could.
2567
02:14:00.520 --> 02:14:02.600
No one was with you during that time. Did you
2568
02:14:02.600 --> 02:14:04.880
frequent in the establishment where you were known? No?
2569
02:14:05.039 --> 02:14:06.880
No, I didn't. I saw no one I knew.
2570
02:14:06.960 --> 02:14:07.800
Are you sure, Olivia?
2571
02:14:07.920 --> 02:14:10.159
And I'm positive? What difference does it make where I
2572
02:14:10.239 --> 02:14:10.840
was between you and.
2573
02:14:10.800 --> 02:14:12.840
The five o'clock makes a lot of difference?
2574
02:14:13.479 --> 02:14:16.359
Because it was about that hour that Rita Bartow was
2575
02:14:16.399 --> 02:14:17.960
stabbed to death in her apartment.
2576
02:14:18.800 --> 02:14:21.960
Rita Barto the ahead of the Octopa that's right.
2577
02:14:22.479 --> 02:14:24.960
The weapons not been found and there were no clues
2578
02:14:25.039 --> 02:14:26.479
to the identity of the murder.
2579
02:14:26.960 --> 02:14:28.319
Accepting your note to.
2580
02:14:28.319 --> 02:14:33.239
Your husband, But Rita Barto, what have I to do
2581
02:14:33.359 --> 02:14:33.640
with her?
2582
02:14:33.880 --> 02:14:36.239
You said in your note here that you knew who
2583
02:14:36.279 --> 02:14:39.399
the woman was, Rita Bartow, the other woman?
2584
02:14:40.159 --> 02:14:42.319
What then?
2585
02:14:42.359 --> 02:14:42.760
What about?
2586
02:14:42.960 --> 02:14:44.800
What about who? What are you going to say?
2587
02:14:45.840 --> 02:14:46.199
Nothing?
2588
02:14:47.600 --> 02:14:54.319
I wasn't going to say anything, not one thing.
2589
02:14:54.319 --> 02:14:57.399
Oh, yes you were, Olivia, Yes you were. You were
2590
02:14:57.399 --> 02:14:59.840
going to say that you killed the wrong woman in
2591
02:15:00.279 --> 02:15:03.119
Doris Hammond. Of course we know you didn't kill rita
2592
02:15:03.199 --> 02:15:06.520
battle because Jack Mallory killed her when she turned him
2593
02:15:06.520 --> 02:15:08.680
down and said she was going to marry Fred Martin.
2594
02:15:09.079 --> 02:15:11.119
And Doris was the only one who knew about the
2595
02:15:11.119 --> 02:15:13.720
blood thains on Jack's coat. She was the only one
2596
02:15:13.720 --> 02:15:14.720
who could have pinned it on.
2597
02:15:14.760 --> 02:15:16.560
Jack and cleared you, Olivia.
2598
02:15:16.920 --> 02:15:20.479
But Doris is dead now and you killed her, killed
2599
02:15:20.479 --> 02:15:37.079
the very one who could have saved you. What a shame.
2600
02:15:45.800 --> 02:15:53.960
CPS has presented the Whistler Next week, same.
2601
02:15:53.680 --> 02:16:00.000
Time, either whistler will return to tell you another unusual tale.
2602
02:16:03.039 --> 02:16:19.319
This is the Columbia Broadcasting System.
2603
02:16:19.439 --> 02:16:24.319
Well, my dear, the evening has drawn to a close.
2604
02:16:25.079 --> 02:16:29.359
Soon the sun will return to the sky. You should
2605
02:16:29.399 --> 02:16:33.200
probably make your way home, and I'll go back to well,
2606
02:16:34.040 --> 02:16:38.959
wherever it is I come from. But please do return.
2607
02:16:39.840 --> 02:16:46.760
I'll be right here, same time, same place, happy to
2608
02:16:46.879 --> 02:16:50.760
have your company. But if I could ask just one
2609
02:16:50.840 --> 02:16:54.440
more favor to you as you make your way home,
2610
02:16:54.559 --> 02:16:58.440
as you cross the River Styx, as you enter your
2611
02:16:58.959 --> 02:17:02.239
beautiful point to the living room, and make your way
2612
02:17:02.319 --> 02:17:04.559
to the bed, as you lay your head down and
2613
02:17:05.040 --> 02:17:10.280
blink away the night, take one moment and be thankful
2614
02:17:10.879 --> 02:17:15.280
for what you have, and I'll be seeing you soon
2615
02:17:18.879 --> 02:17:38.639
Comanly in my memory, like the falling ming
