00:00:00.190 --> 00:00:03.810
A confidential employment advertisement brings young Ella Malone to the
2
00:00:03.870 --> 00:00:07.330
imposing home of Mr. Stewart, where other women have also
3
00:00:07.410 --> 00:00:11.390
come seeking work. When troubling questions gather around the house,
4
00:00:11.990 --> 00:00:16.160
Ella's sister Betty begins searching for answers. That is the
5
00:00:16.199 --> 00:00:21.000
situation in Lights Out, Murder Castle, written especially for radio
6
00:00:21.239 --> 00:00:26.000
by Arch Obler, and first broadcast over NBC's Red Network
7
00:00:26.440 --> 00:00:31.120
on February 16, 1938. Oberler drew the drama from the
8
00:00:31.179 --> 00:00:35.859
real-life H.H. Holmes case in Chicago, and the original program
9
00:00:35.939 --> 00:00:42.469
came from NBC's Chicago studios. Now, Lights Out presents Murder Castle.
10
00:00:43.030 --> 00:00:44.810
Here is the original broadcast.
11
00:00:50.770 --> 00:00:53.990
I'll tell you, Captain, it don't make sense. We picked
12
00:00:54.020 --> 00:00:56.460
her up walking down the street saying the same thing
13
00:00:56.520 --> 00:00:59.579
over and over again. Well, she's as goofy as they come,
14
00:00:59.659 --> 00:01:07.819
I tell you. Listen to her yourself. Revenge, revenge, revenge. Revenge, revenge, revenge.
15
00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:09.420
Yeah, listen to her, Captain.
16
00:01:10.019 --> 00:01:11.280
Over and over again.
17
00:01:12.140 --> 00:01:13.409
Such a young and pretty girl.
18
00:01:13.439 --> 00:01:15.390
What could have driven.
19
00:01:15.150 --> 00:01:16.930
Her out of her mind like that, I ask you?
20
00:01:16.950 --> 00:01:23.310
Revenge, revenge, revenge, revenge, revenge, revenge, revenge, revenge.
21
00:01:37.969 --> 00:01:42.430
Yes? Yes, what is it? I'm looking for Mr. Henry Stewart,
22
00:01:42.510 --> 00:01:45.469
if you please. Oh, you mean about the advertisement.
23
00:01:45.549 --> 00:01:48.129
Yes, that's right. I got here as soon as I could.
24
00:01:48.150 --> 00:01:49.769
That's all right. That's all right. As long as you
25
00:01:49.790 --> 00:01:52.189
got here, that's all that matters. Come in. Come in.
26
00:01:52.409 --> 00:01:53.129
Oh, thank you.
27
00:01:54.849 --> 00:01:58.170
Just put your suitcase down there. It'll be all right.
28
00:01:58.469 --> 00:02:01.109
Thank you. Now, if you'll come out this way.
29
00:02:01.129 --> 00:02:01.950
Thank you.
30
00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:09.479
Just step in here, Miss... Malone. Ella Malone. Oh, yes,
31
00:02:09.539 --> 00:02:14.389
of course. Miss Malone. Now then, you'll have a chair, please.
32
00:02:14.729 --> 00:02:15.250
Thank you.
33
00:02:17.710 --> 00:02:18.610
There we are.
34
00:02:19.389 --> 00:02:22.710
Now then, Miss Malone, to be perfectly frank with you,
35
00:02:22.770 --> 00:02:24.500
I wasn't quite expecting you today.
36
00:02:24.740 --> 00:02:26.240
Oh, I'm truly sorry, Mr.
37
00:02:26.259 --> 00:02:29.069
Stewart. But you see, I took the wrong train and I.
38
00:02:29.969 --> 00:02:32.729
Well, I had the hardest time finding the house. I
39
00:02:32.770 --> 00:02:33.650
do hope you'll forgive me.
40
00:02:33.710 --> 00:02:36.830
Of course, of course. Don't give it another thought. Promptness
41
00:02:36.870 --> 00:02:39.909
may be a virtue, but we all can't be virtuous,
42
00:02:39.969 --> 00:02:43.889
now can we? Now then, you're here in.
43
00:02:43.849 --> 00:02:45.469
Answer to my advertisement. Yes, sir.
44
00:02:45.530 --> 00:02:47.610
You wrote me. Oh, yes, yes, of course. You're the
45
00:02:47.650 --> 00:02:48.349
young lady from.
46
00:02:49.069 --> 00:02:49.949
From Queensville.
47
00:02:50.050 --> 00:02:54.409
Oh, yes, Queensville. You have my letter with you? Oh, yes, sir.
48
00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:55.240
Right here, sir.
49
00:02:55.400 --> 00:02:56.979
Oh, yes, yes.
50
00:02:57.120 --> 00:03:02.719
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Now then, your friends know you came here,
51
00:03:02.740 --> 00:03:03.159
of course.
52
00:03:03.500 --> 00:03:06.680
There's no one very much interested, Mr. Stewart.
53
00:03:07.020 --> 00:03:07.840
Oh, come now.
54
00:03:08.270 --> 00:03:10.770
A pretty young girl like you, no young bows, and
55
00:03:10.810 --> 00:03:11.729
so on, so on.
56
00:03:11.750 --> 00:03:14.530
No, sir, there's no one. I mean, sir, you can
57
00:03:14.569 --> 00:03:16.830
depend on me to give all my attention to my work.
58
00:03:17.110 --> 00:03:19.300
Very commendable, very commendable indeed.
59
00:03:20.120 --> 00:03:23.300
My work, as I wrote you, is entirely confidential. My
60
00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:26.500
philanthropies are, to a great extent, entirely sublosa.
61
00:03:26.520 --> 00:03:28.259
No fuss, no feathers. You understand what I mean?
62
00:03:28.460 --> 00:03:29.139
Oh, yes, sir.
63
00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:32.990
As my secretary, my affairs will be entirely in your hands.
64
00:03:33.039 --> 00:03:35.229
My checking account, my finances, and so on, so on.
65
00:03:35.509 --> 00:03:37.289
Entirely in your care. I understand.
66
00:03:38.250 --> 00:03:42.409
It's quite a responsibility, and you're quite a young woman.
67
00:03:42.810 --> 00:03:44.110
And as I wrote to the bank.
68
00:03:44.409 --> 00:03:47.210
Oh, yes, sir, I understand. The bond, I brought the
69
00:03:47.229 --> 00:03:50.389
money for it. $ 300. I've got it right here, sir.
70
00:03:50.409 --> 00:03:51.379
Oh, fine, fine.
71
00:03:51.409 --> 00:03:52.960
That's very business-like, yes, indeed.
72
00:03:53.819 --> 00:03:55.800
I'll give you a receipt, and there will be.
73
00:03:56.599 --> 00:03:56.979
Mr.
74
00:03:57.020 --> 00:03:57.400
Stewart.
75
00:03:57.439 --> 00:04:01.539
Yes? Oh, my pen. Oh, yes, here we are. My money.
76
00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:04.159
Will I get it back from the bank any time
77
00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:09.289
I leave your employ... I mean, when you want me to. Oh, yes,
78
00:04:09.349 --> 00:04:10.090
of course, of course.
79
00:04:11.610 --> 00:04:15.409
Now then, here we are. Received of Miss Nellie Malone.
80
00:04:15.590 --> 00:04:19.269
Ella. Yes, of course, Ella. Memory isn't quite what it
81
00:04:19.329 --> 00:04:21.620
used to be. That's why I need a good secretary.
82
00:04:21.779 --> 00:04:24.699
I'm very good at remembering things. Oh, you are, you are.
83
00:04:25.779 --> 00:04:28.079
Now then, here we are.
84
00:04:28.379 --> 00:04:29.680
Guess this receipt is in good order.
85
00:04:30.589 --> 00:04:31.889
Received of Miss.
86
00:04:32.149 --> 00:04:36.420
Ella Malone $ 300 to be deposited with the merchant's bank
87
00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:39.709
as surety bond and to be returned to said Ella
88
00:04:39.730 --> 00:04:40.889
Malone upon request.
89
00:04:41.129 --> 00:04:41.910
There's my signature.
90
00:04:41.949 --> 00:04:44.660
How's that? I'm sure that'll do very well, sir. Thank you.
91
00:04:45.790 --> 00:04:49.529
Now, then, you have got my receipt.
92
00:04:50.050 --> 00:04:50.850
But I.
93
00:04:51.470 --> 00:04:53.410
Oh, I beg your pardon.
94
00:04:53.470 --> 00:04:54.709
Not at all, not at all.
95
00:04:54.730 --> 00:04:56.350
Of course, I have it right here.
96
00:04:56.810 --> 00:04:59.810
I am sorry. Oh, well, I understand the excitement of
97
00:04:59.850 --> 00:05:01.629
your trip. Here it is, Mr. Stewart.
98
00:05:01.810 --> 00:05:03.649
You see, I had it already in an envelope.
99
00:05:04.009 --> 00:05:04.689
Now, if you'll open it.
100
00:05:04.730 --> 00:05:06.470
Oh, no, no, not at all, not at all. Men
101
00:05:06.490 --> 00:05:07.750
can do that when I send it to them in
102
00:05:07.790 --> 00:05:10.670
the morning. Now, just put your purse down there, and
103
00:05:10.730 --> 00:05:11.930
I'll show you to your new home.
104
00:05:12.209 --> 00:05:15.449
Yes, Mr. Stewart. Now, we'll go right up these stairs. Yes.
105
00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:21.819
Oh, yes, you find.
106
00:05:21.660 --> 00:05:22.959
I have quite a place here.
107
00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:24.620
Three stories high.
108
00:05:25.110 --> 00:05:26.759
And every inch of it my own design.
109
00:05:27.269 --> 00:05:28.649
Brother, dark.
110
00:05:29.149 --> 00:05:31.129
Oh, careful now, careful.
111
00:05:31.290 --> 00:05:32.430
I'm all right.
112
00:05:32.490 --> 00:05:35.470
Mustn't hurt yourself. Hardly the way to start a new job.
113
00:05:35.529 --> 00:05:36.470
Now then, here we are.
114
00:05:42.550 --> 00:05:44.170
Got a nice room for you, very nice. The fact
115
00:05:44.189 --> 00:05:46.110
of the matter is you can choose any room on
116
00:05:46.149 --> 00:05:49.769
this floor. But, Mr. Stewart, your daughters... Daughters?
117
00:05:50.230 --> 00:05:51.569
Yes, won't they adjust?
118
00:05:51.790 --> 00:05:52.269
You said.
119
00:05:52.410 --> 00:05:55.980
Oh, yes, yes, my daughters. I did write to you
120
00:05:56.040 --> 00:05:57.680
about them, didn't I? Yes, you did.
121
00:05:58.079 --> 00:06:01.860
Well, never mind about them. They're upstairs studying.
122
00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:04.120
Now, right here.
123
00:06:04.699 --> 00:06:06.720
I suggest that you take this room at least for
124
00:06:06.740 --> 00:06:07.000
the night.
125
00:06:07.220 --> 00:06:08.319
Whatever you say, Mr.
126
00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:09.540
Stewart. There's a light on here.
127
00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:10.879
There we are.
128
00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:13.420
Nice, isn't it?
129
00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:15.759
I've never had such a large room.
130
00:06:16.139 --> 00:06:17.540
If you've got one a little smaller.
131
00:06:17.579 --> 00:06:19.360
On the contrary, my dear Miss Malone, you'll find this
132
00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:20.000
one's small enough.
133
00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:21.079
Perhaps a little too small.
134
00:06:21.620 --> 00:06:22.060
Yes, indeed.
135
00:06:22.290 --> 00:06:23.149
Entirely too small.
136
00:06:23.629 --> 00:06:31.930
But Mr. Stewart. Locking the door. Mr. Stewart, why did you? Mr. Stewart,
137
00:06:31.949 --> 00:06:34.509
why did you lock the door? Mr. Stewart.
138
00:06:34.680 --> 00:06:34.810
Mr.
139
00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:36.740
Stewart, why did you shut.
140
00:06:59.339 --> 00:07:00.720
Yes, yes, Miss North.
141
00:07:00.779 --> 00:07:02.639
There's no doubt in my mind at all that you're
142
00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:05.060
the very person I want to employ as my housekeeper.
143
00:07:05.220 --> 00:07:06.199
I'm very glad to hear.
144
00:07:06.079 --> 00:07:06.560
That, Mr. Stewart.
145
00:07:06.680 --> 00:07:09.759
Of course, the matter of being housekeeper of a place
146
00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:11.040
as large as mine.
147
00:07:10.740 --> 00:07:13.860
Calls for definite qualities, you understand, of course. I always
148
00:07:13.879 --> 00:07:14.680
do my best, sir.
149
00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:17.779
Well, one certainly can't ask for more than that, no, indeed.
150
00:07:17.800 --> 00:07:22.939
Your wife, maybe she'd like to talk to me? Of course,
151
00:07:22.959 --> 00:07:24.480
I wrote you about my wife, didn't I?
152
00:07:24.519 --> 00:07:25.790
Yes, sir.
153
00:07:25.819 --> 00:07:29.209
Well, my wife is out shopping. As soon as she returns,
154
00:07:29.250 --> 00:07:32.670
you will meet her. I'm sure she'll find your recommendations.
155
00:07:32.089 --> 00:07:35.259
As satisfactory as I did. Makes me very happy. I've
156
00:07:35.300 --> 00:07:39.540
always wanted to work in a fine house. Now, about money.
157
00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:41.579
Oh, any salary you want to pay me, Mr. Stewart,
158
00:07:41.660 --> 00:07:42.259
it's all right.
159
00:07:42.839 --> 00:07:44.459
I just want a chance to show you how good I.
160
00:07:44.459 --> 00:07:45.120
Can do your work.
161
00:07:45.230 --> 00:07:47.110
Very commendable, yes, indeed, very commendable.
162
00:07:47.129 --> 00:07:50.410
But we must agree on a salary. I'm the sort
163
00:07:50.449 --> 00:07:52.629
of man who has respect for money and expects a
164
00:07:52.649 --> 00:07:53.649
similar respect in others.
165
00:07:54.589 --> 00:07:55.529
Oh, yes, and speaking of.
166
00:07:55.509 --> 00:07:57.829
Money, you'll be wanting to open a new bank account,
167
00:07:57.889 --> 00:08:01.310
I suppose. Bank account? Yes, it's my principle that everyone
168
00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:04.740
employed by me should have a savings account. Builds character.
169
00:08:07.050 --> 00:08:08.970
You can transfer any other bank accounts you have back
170
00:08:09.050 --> 00:08:11.649
in your hometown up to my bank convenience, you know.
171
00:08:12.199 --> 00:08:14.660
Oh, no, sir. I haven't got that. I haven't any
172
00:08:14.680 --> 00:08:17.079
money in the bank back home. I took it all out.
173
00:08:17.500 --> 00:08:17.769
Oh, oh.
174
00:08:17.980 --> 00:08:21.139
It wasn't much anyway. I was left with father's insurance
175
00:08:21.180 --> 00:08:23.519
money after my mother died.
176
00:08:24.139 --> 00:08:25.319
Oh, yes, yes.
177
00:08:26.019 --> 00:08:28.800
Well, now then, suppose you leave all your things here and.
178
00:08:29.100 --> 00:08:31.060
We'll go look over the house. That would be very nice.
179
00:08:31.399 --> 00:08:35.429
Yeah, right through this door. I'd be glad to be
180
00:08:35.470 --> 00:08:40.289
working in such a place. Yes, yes, quite an establishment here.
181
00:08:40.309 --> 00:08:42.029
Designed it all myself.
182
00:08:42.210 --> 00:08:43.080
I work hard, Mr.
183
00:08:43.100 --> 00:08:45.700
Stewart. Oh, yes, yes, I'm certain you will. Now then,
184
00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:50.639
right down the stairs.
185
00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:52.720
I'll show you everything downstairs first.
186
00:08:52.940 --> 00:08:56.529
You have a washing machine? Oh, yes, yes, yes, everything modern,
187
00:08:56.590 --> 00:09:02.700
everything convenient. High, wide basement. Hang on. Now, watch yourself.
188
00:09:02.799 --> 00:09:05.940
It's just a little dark down here this time of day. Oh,
189
00:09:06.379 --> 00:09:07.840
it is a big basement, all right.
190
00:09:08.299 --> 00:09:11.250
Could hang up plenty of washing down here. Oh, yes. Yes, indeed.
191
00:09:11.610 --> 00:09:12.629
Now, if you'll just come this way.
192
00:09:13.070 --> 00:09:15.330
You... You building something down here?
193
00:09:15.450 --> 00:09:16.470
Building? Oh, yes.
194
00:09:16.490 --> 00:09:17.009
Yes, indeed.
195
00:09:17.090 --> 00:09:20.480
Always building. Always changing. Always remodeling. Changing, changing, changing. My hobby,
196
00:09:20.500 --> 00:09:21.100
always changing things.
197
00:09:21.120 --> 00:09:21.490
Thank you.
198
00:09:21.840 --> 00:09:23.799
It's hard to keep clean. Now, now, don't you worry
199
00:09:23.820 --> 00:09:25.799
about that. Everything will be cleaned up in short order.
200
00:09:26.100 --> 00:09:28.220
The bags of sand and concrete, concrete mixer.
201
00:09:28.259 --> 00:09:29.659
Everything will be out of the way. It won't bother
202
00:09:29.679 --> 00:09:30.820
you at all. No, not at all.
203
00:09:31.100 --> 00:09:32.100
Now, right this way.
204
00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:37.230
You... You're making more rooms? Oh, yes. Yes, indeed.
205
00:09:37.259 --> 00:09:39.409
With nice, clean concrete floors.
206
00:09:40.610 --> 00:09:44.629
Here. Look at this one. Kind of dark.
207
00:09:44.730 --> 00:09:45.970
Oh, come on, come on. Get closer.
208
00:09:46.750 --> 00:09:50.590
All my own work. You see, the floor is still wet. Yes.
209
00:09:51.889 --> 00:09:56.159
I like concrete, don't you? Yes, it is clean.
210
00:09:56.240 --> 00:09:59.970
Yes, covers everything. You know how deep that covers?
211
00:10:00.440 --> 00:10:04.379
Is? Three feet deep. Yes, ma'am, three feet deep. And
212
00:10:04.440 --> 00:10:06.419
I just poured it an hour before you honored me
213
00:10:06.460 --> 00:10:08.879
with your presence. Three feet.
214
00:10:09.539 --> 00:10:11.860
That'll make a mighty thick slab of stone, won't it,
215
00:10:11.879 --> 00:10:12.500
Miss Nord?
216
00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:14.809
Thick enough to cover you.
217
00:10:14.820 --> 00:10:14.879
Ah.
218
00:10:19.720 --> 00:10:20.159
Yes, indeed.
219
00:10:21.360 --> 00:10:22.240
But just to the point.
220
00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:27.210
That you're still a most effective soporific. You're quite a
221
00:10:27.289 --> 00:10:28.710
light woman, my dear Miss Nord.
222
00:10:28.990 --> 00:10:29.649
Up you go.
223
00:10:30.490 --> 00:10:34.210
And in you go. Face down.
224
00:10:35.889 --> 00:10:42.480
What an unusual bed you lie in, Miss Nord. Sinking
225
00:10:42.600 --> 00:10:45.039
down and down and down.
226
00:10:46.659 --> 00:10:49.590
And the concrete will harden... And I.
227
00:10:49.610 --> 00:10:49.690
I.
228
00:10:52.220 --> 00:11:02.379
Guess I will have to get myself a new housekeeper.
229
00:11:02.440 --> 00:11:10.759
Ladies and gentlemen, let's lean back now and relax for
230
00:11:10.799 --> 00:11:15.110
a moment. Let's take time out from tonight's amazing lights-out story...
231
00:11:15.669 --> 00:11:19.009
The story of a strange, mysterious mansion and the one
232
00:11:19.049 --> 00:11:22.350
woman who entered those doors and was never seen alive again.
233
00:11:22.370 --> 00:11:25.509
Let's turn during this brief intermission to a much more
234
00:11:25.570 --> 00:11:28.809
everyday situation and a question that's much easier to answer.
235
00:11:29.070 --> 00:11:31.379
An angry girl is storming out of her friend's house.
236
00:11:33.259 --> 00:11:35.759
And her friend says, What can be wrong with Lucy
237
00:11:35.799 --> 00:11:38.799
these days? The coffee's a bear and she's losing.
238
00:11:38.519 --> 00:11:43.370
So much weight she looks terrible. She's just no fun anymore. Well,
239
00:11:43.669 --> 00:11:47.259
you know what that well-known nutrition authority says about how
240
00:11:47.379 --> 00:11:50.700
improper eating due to wartime living may cause a person
241
00:11:50.720 --> 00:11:52.659
to become deficient in vitamin.
242
00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:53.279
B1 and iron.
243
00:11:53.840 --> 00:11:56.649
And how you absolutely need enough of them to keep your.
244
00:11:56.570 --> 00:11:57.830
Right weight and energy.
245
00:11:58.009 --> 00:12:00.210
Well, I come to think of it, that was Ruth's
246
00:12:00.250 --> 00:12:02.649
trouble when she got so run down. So she took
247
00:12:02.809 --> 00:12:03.870
ionized yeast tablets.
248
00:12:04.289 --> 00:12:09.659
And you know how grand she looks and feels. vitamin
249
00:12:09.679 --> 00:12:13.289
B1 and iron shortage, we're losing weight, losing strength and
250
00:12:13.389 --> 00:12:17.450
energy and interest in life. Tell how ironized yeast tablets
251
00:12:17.490 --> 00:12:21.110
help them regain glorious pep and strength and needed pounds.
252
00:12:21.820 --> 00:12:24.980
So if you're short vitamin B1 and iron, don't wait.
253
00:12:25.360 --> 00:12:28.059
Go to your druggist this very night and say, a
254
00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:31.500
bottle of ironized yeast tablets, please. And now back to
255
00:12:31.559 --> 00:12:53.690
our life's out story of Murder Castle. Hello?
256
00:12:55.190 --> 00:12:55.549
Hello?
257
00:12:57.070 --> 00:13:00.049
Hello, is this the employment agency? This is Mr.
258
00:13:00.149 --> 00:13:01.460
Stewart, Mr.
259
00:13:01.500 --> 00:13:02.269
Henry Stewart.
260
00:13:02.980 --> 00:13:05.240
I'm interested in employing a nurse for my child.
261
00:13:06.039 --> 00:13:08.940
Oh, someone preferably unattached who can live.
262
00:13:08.639 --> 00:13:12.509
Here with my wife and myself. No, no, no, just
263
00:13:12.549 --> 00:13:15.029
send me their names, addresses and references and so on.
264
00:13:15.509 --> 00:13:18.529
I'll send you a check for the services. My address
265
00:13:18.590 --> 00:13:20.629
is 424 East 7th.
266
00:13:21.590 --> 00:13:23.629
Yes, that's right, just their names and addresses.
267
00:13:24.950 --> 00:13:26.649
Yes, yes, I'll send you a check.
268
00:13:26.690 --> 00:13:30.509
Goodbye. Yes, yes, I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll
269
00:13:30.529 --> 00:13:38.480
be there. Yes, yes, what is it? Is... is Mr.
270
00:13:38.580 --> 00:13:38.960
Stewart.
271
00:13:42.210 --> 00:13:42.850
Won't you come in?
272
00:13:43.529 --> 00:13:48.840
Hi, Mr. Stewart. Thank you. You're answering in regard to.
273
00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:50.100
The material position.
274
00:13:50.700 --> 00:13:53.559
You wrote me a letter. Oh, yes, yes, yes, indeed.
275
00:13:54.460 --> 00:13:58.850
Won't you step in here, please? Thank you. You sit there.
276
00:13:58.870 --> 00:14:00.990
I'll sit here. We'll get better acquainted.
277
00:14:01.190 --> 00:14:02.870
Put your suitcase down there in place.
278
00:14:03.490 --> 00:14:05.509
Now then, I'm afraid I didn't quite get your name.
279
00:14:05.730 --> 00:14:06.029
Ray.
280
00:14:06.049 --> 00:14:10.450
Ray. Betty Ray. You wrote me. Oh, yes, of course.
281
00:14:10.490 --> 00:14:12.230
I remember you distinctly.
282
00:14:12.370 --> 00:14:14.169
Now, then, you have my letter to you just to
283
00:14:14.190 --> 00:14:16.429
sort of refresh my memory on the circumstances.
284
00:14:16.450 --> 00:14:20.149
Don't you know? Oh, well, I'm sorry. I didn't bring
285
00:14:20.210 --> 00:14:20.669
it with me.
286
00:14:21.389 --> 00:14:24.070
Oh, well, then, suppose you tell me a little more
287
00:14:24.110 --> 00:14:25.429
about yourself and.
288
00:14:25.330 --> 00:14:26.029
All what's happened.
289
00:14:26.850 --> 00:14:28.570
I don't bother to see you off the train, I suppose.
290
00:14:28.669 --> 00:14:30.980
Oh, no, sir. It's the way I wrote you, Mr.
291
00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:31.559
Stewart. I.
292
00:14:32.529 --> 00:14:34.240
I'm quite alone. Oh, yes.
293
00:14:35.019 --> 00:14:38.279
Well, but first there's the matter of the surety bond.
294
00:14:38.919 --> 00:14:40.269
I wrote to you about that, didn't I?
295
00:14:40.340 --> 00:14:40.600
Yes.
296
00:14:41.539 --> 00:14:44.110
Yes, you did. Ah, yes, I felt quite certain of that.
297
00:14:44.149 --> 00:14:46.610
Mr. Stewart, I was wondering... Yes?
298
00:14:47.470 --> 00:14:49.590
Have you had many secretaries?
299
00:14:49.990 --> 00:14:51.110
Why do you ask that? I want to know.
300
00:14:51.129 --> 00:14:53.289
Why do you ask that question? What happens to them
301
00:14:53.330 --> 00:14:55.700
after you hire them? Tell me, what happens to them?
302
00:14:57.179 --> 00:15:02.470
Young woman... Just who are you? My name is Betty Malone. Malone?
303
00:15:02.529 --> 00:15:03.070
Betty Malone.
304
00:15:03.809 --> 00:15:05.759
My sister Ella came here a month ago about a job.
305
00:15:06.059 --> 00:15:07.139
And I want to know where she is. Do you
306
00:15:07.159 --> 00:15:07.399
hear me?
307
00:15:07.419 --> 00:15:08.340
I want to know where she is.
308
00:15:09.360 --> 00:15:11.779
I don't think I quite know what you're talking about.
309
00:15:11.940 --> 00:15:12.620
Why do you lie to me?
310
00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:14.240
Why do you lie to me? She was here.
311
00:15:14.259 --> 00:15:14.720
She was.
312
00:15:15.019 --> 00:15:16.250
Then what makes you so sure?
313
00:15:16.330 --> 00:15:19.110
A letter you wrote her. The first one. I waited
314
00:15:19.149 --> 00:15:19.850
a whole month and.
315
00:15:19.789 --> 00:15:21.970
Then I came here. And as soon as I saw you,
316
00:15:22.009 --> 00:15:24.309
I thought something was wrong. And now I know there is.
317
00:15:25.009 --> 00:15:26.250
My sister Ella, where is she?
318
00:15:26.690 --> 00:15:27.529
You've got to tell me.
319
00:15:27.960 --> 00:15:30.980
What if I tell you again that I don't know
320
00:15:31.080 --> 00:15:32.340
what you're talking about?
321
00:15:32.879 --> 00:15:34.700
I'll go to the police. They'll make you tell the truth.
322
00:15:34.940 --> 00:15:35.740
I know she came here.
323
00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:36.399
I know she did.
324
00:15:36.419 --> 00:15:38.820
Why do you laugh?
325
00:15:39.200 --> 00:15:39.580
Why?
326
00:15:40.059 --> 00:15:42.960
Because you're being a very foolish young lady. Very foolish indeed.
327
00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:46.500
There's no need to get excited. Of course your sister's here.
328
00:15:46.620 --> 00:15:47.480
And very happy too.
329
00:15:47.559 --> 00:15:47.679
She.
330
00:15:49.289 --> 00:15:49.840
She's here?
331
00:15:49.879 --> 00:15:50.259
Yes, yes.
332
00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:53.220
I'm very happy to... You can take.
333
00:15:53.120 --> 00:15:55.039
Me to her. Please take me to her.
334
00:15:55.080 --> 00:15:56.019
All right, all right.
335
00:15:56.059 --> 00:15:57.970
No need to get excited. Of course I'll take you
336
00:15:57.990 --> 00:15:58.330
to her.
337
00:15:58.990 --> 00:16:00.669
I intend to do all along. I was just having
338
00:16:00.690 --> 00:16:03.009
a little joke with you. Is she all right? Is
339
00:16:03.029 --> 00:16:05.970
she all right? Of course, of course. Now then, come
340
00:16:06.009 --> 00:16:07.500
right along with me. Come right along with me. Come
341
00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:15.419
right along with me. Yes, yes, she's right up here.
342
00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:16.879
Been with me for over a month.
343
00:16:17.460 --> 00:16:18.240
Why didn't she write?
344
00:16:19.000 --> 00:16:19.870
Why didn't she tell me?
345
00:16:20.350 --> 00:16:22.710
Well, I done this haul, and you can ask her
346
00:16:22.750 --> 00:16:30.820
that for yourself. Lady, you have easily the most suspicious.
347
00:16:30.460 --> 00:16:31.659
Mind of anyone I've ever met.
348
00:16:32.039 --> 00:16:34.440
Why, I'm quite a helpless old man, and you always
349
00:16:34.519 --> 00:16:37.620
have recourse, as you put it, to the police. Here
350
00:16:37.639 --> 00:16:38.659
we are, right in this room.
351
00:16:39.240 --> 00:16:40.730
Go right in. All right.
352
00:16:41.450 --> 00:16:43.370
It's locked.
353
00:16:43.409 --> 00:16:44.909
Knock on the.
354
00:16:44.850 --> 00:16:45.870
Door, and she'll open it for you.
355
00:16:46.230 --> 00:16:54.929
Ella? Ella, it's Betty. Betty? She's asleep.
356
00:16:55.009 --> 00:16:55.669
Ella, please.
357
00:16:56.000 --> 00:16:59.600
It's Betty. It's Sister Betty. Well, now, she certainly is
358
00:16:59.620 --> 00:17:00.139
a tight sleeper.
359
00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:01.799
But she can't be sleeping. Open the door. Please open
360
00:17:01.820 --> 00:17:04.299
the door. All right, all right. No reason to get excited.
361
00:17:04.339 --> 00:17:05.349
Quickly, open the door.
362
00:17:05.400 --> 00:17:09.670
Quickly. Now, don't excite yourself needlessly. I'll go and have
363
00:17:09.710 --> 00:17:14.849
you open the door. Ella, it's Betty.
364
00:17:14.869 --> 00:17:16.220
Ella, what.
365
00:17:28.660 --> 00:17:31.930
Now then, my dear Betty, we understand each other clearly,
366
00:17:31.950 --> 00:17:32.329
don't we?
367
00:17:32.349 --> 00:17:35.230
Yes. Yes.
368
00:17:35.569 --> 00:17:38.599
Nothing like a complete understanding now, is there? Yes.
369
00:17:39.880 --> 00:17:40.180
Yes.
370
00:17:40.380 --> 00:17:43.460
Oh, it wasn't so difficult. I shut the door, sealed it,
371
00:17:43.500 --> 00:17:46.119
and nature took care of the rest. Yes. Yes.
372
00:17:47.289 --> 00:17:47.569
Dead?
373
00:17:48.109 --> 00:17:53.880
She died quite easily. Much easier than others. Why? You mean,
374
00:17:53.990 --> 00:17:57.160
why do I do it? It's a very simple explanation,
375
00:17:57.200 --> 00:17:57.559
young woman.
376
00:17:57.579 --> 00:17:58.500
This is my business.
377
00:17:58.859 --> 00:18:02.420
Yes, yes, my business. Some men make their fortunes in stocks,
378
00:18:02.480 --> 00:18:07.920
some bonds, some in business. And this is my business. Why? Why? Why?
379
00:18:08.000 --> 00:18:10.099
Why is any business conducted? Profit, my dear.
380
00:18:10.420 --> 00:18:12.359
And I've made quite a neat little profit. Oh, yes,
381
00:18:12.420 --> 00:18:16.420
and a very safe one, too. Yes, and you're the
382
00:18:16.460 --> 00:18:18.680
very first to come wandering about looking for one of
383
00:18:18.740 --> 00:18:20.690
my customers.
384
00:18:21.250 --> 00:18:24.769
The first. And I assure you, the last. Oh, yes.
385
00:18:24.910 --> 00:18:27.789
Thirty women have come in my front door. Thirty-one, including
386
00:18:27.829 --> 00:18:29.670
you and Ella. Come on along.
387
00:18:29.769 --> 00:18:31.029
I'll tell you all about them.
388
00:18:31.130 --> 00:18:33.069
You'll find it most instructive. Yes, indeed.
389
00:18:33.089 --> 00:18:35.950
Now come. Don't hold my arm. But I must.
390
00:18:36.289 --> 00:18:38.589
These collars, they twist and turn. Oh, yes, it's best
391
00:18:38.630 --> 00:18:41.710
I hold your arm. Get lost easily around this house.
392
00:18:41.750 --> 00:18:44.990
My most interesting house. Where are you taking me? Yes,
393
00:18:45.089 --> 00:18:48.309
there were 30 before you. Most interesting, really. I used
394
00:18:48.329 --> 00:18:50.470
to read the warrant ads in small-town papers, and then
395
00:18:50.519 --> 00:18:51.170
I'd write letters.
396
00:18:51.380 --> 00:18:52.700
Oh, most interesting letters.
397
00:18:52.779 --> 00:18:55.940
I needed a secretary, a housekeeper, a nurse, excellent salary,
398
00:18:56.180 --> 00:18:56.759
and new rules.
399
00:18:56.799 --> 00:18:59.259
Accommodation. Oh, how I knew this would happen. Indeed.
400
00:18:59.559 --> 00:19:02.019
And they brought all their worldly belongings with them, generally
401
00:19:02.059 --> 00:19:04.660
in a suitcase. A little here, a little there. Why
402
00:19:04.720 --> 00:19:07.920
should it be most profitable? Now, in this room, for example.
403
00:19:07.960 --> 00:19:08.200
No.
404
00:19:08.529 --> 00:19:09.400
No, don't open that door.
405
00:19:09.940 --> 00:19:10.309
No.
406
00:19:10.549 --> 00:19:13.529
Perhaps it would be better not to. The one in
407
00:19:13.569 --> 00:19:16.150
here came to be my housekeeper. Oh, let me see.
408
00:19:16.170 --> 00:19:17.609
How long ago was it? Oh, well, no matter.
409
00:19:17.950 --> 00:19:20.410
She came as a housekeeper, and after she went into
410
00:19:20.450 --> 00:19:24.400
a retirement in that room, I found in her suitcase
411
00:19:24.420 --> 00:19:27.660
such interesting bonds. Why, I tell you, my eyes fairly
412
00:19:27.799 --> 00:19:28.839
popped right in my head.
413
00:19:29.000 --> 00:19:29.319
Oh, yes.
414
00:19:30.220 --> 00:19:33.779
It's the uncertainty that makes my little business so very fascinating.
415
00:19:34.180 --> 00:19:35.039
Kill 30 women.
416
00:19:35.059 --> 00:19:36.589
Now, let's go down a little way now, down here.
417
00:19:37.069 --> 00:19:38.970
Don't make me pull you along.
418
00:19:39.029 --> 00:19:39.630
Kill 30 women.
419
00:19:39.809 --> 00:19:40.529
It's not difficult.
420
00:19:40.549 --> 00:19:43.809
Most women are such fools, anxious to believe what they
421
00:19:43.829 --> 00:19:44.490
want to believe.
422
00:19:44.650 --> 00:19:46.650
I came here for life, and you gave me death.
423
00:19:47.069 --> 00:19:49.450
Ah, you're the smart one. That's why I'm even bothering
424
00:19:49.529 --> 00:19:50.400
showing you. my work.
425
00:19:50.680 --> 00:19:51.579
I never did the others.
426
00:19:52.460 --> 00:19:55.559
And showing you around won't do harm. You won't be
427
00:19:55.579 --> 00:19:56.240
talking long.
428
00:19:56.319 --> 00:19:58.509
Dirty women, guys. Now, in this room.
429
00:19:58.890 --> 00:19:59.950
Well, let me open it and show you.
430
00:19:59.970 --> 00:20:02.890
No. No, don't make me look. No, please don't.
431
00:20:03.289 --> 00:20:07.069
No. Oh, you see? There's no reason for excitement. Just
432
00:20:07.109 --> 00:20:10.390
an empty room. That's what she thought when she went
433
00:20:10.450 --> 00:20:14.579
in here. Then I pressed this button, so.
434
00:20:16.059 --> 00:20:18.299
And the floor flopped open as she stood on it,
435
00:20:18.359 --> 00:20:21.930
and down she went. Down, down, down. Guess into what?
436
00:20:22.750 --> 00:20:24.710
A bit of lime. A bit?
437
00:20:25.589 --> 00:20:27.930
Oh, yes, I tried out so many different ways of
438
00:20:27.970 --> 00:20:30.730
killing them. You wonder why they'll never find me out?
439
00:20:30.750 --> 00:20:31.630
Well, I'll tell you why.
440
00:20:31.650 --> 00:20:33.390
Because I'm much too smart.
441
00:20:33.190 --> 00:20:33.630
For all of them.
442
00:20:34.130 --> 00:20:37.250
Oh, not perfect crimes. No, nothing in the entire, but
443
00:20:37.809 --> 00:20:40.049
just cleverness in choosing the women I do my business
444
00:20:40.069 --> 00:20:42.609
with and an equal cleverness in doing away with them.
445
00:20:42.690 --> 00:20:45.750
Oh, yes, indeed. Now then, what was I telling you?
446
00:20:46.150 --> 00:20:46.789
Oh, yes, yes, yes.
447
00:20:47.650 --> 00:20:48.470
Why do you never get me?
448
00:20:48.549 --> 00:20:50.619
I must see you. It's done things in my head.
449
00:20:50.710 --> 00:20:53.759
No corpus delecti. And if there is one, no evidence
450
00:20:53.799 --> 00:20:54.319
of violence.
451
00:20:54.640 --> 00:20:55.059
Ah, there.
452
00:20:55.099 --> 00:20:56.900
That's the secret. Are you very frightened, sister?
453
00:20:56.980 --> 00:20:57.920
Hell of quick climb.
454
00:20:57.960 --> 00:20:58.920
There's no corpus delecti.
455
00:20:59.059 --> 00:21:01.259
After that, I can tell you. And up when you
456
00:21:01.299 --> 00:21:04.539
bury them in a slab of concrete. Ah, that's the secret.
457
00:21:04.559 --> 00:21:06.519
If I could only have been with you a little bit. Now,
458
00:21:06.539 --> 00:21:08.740
this room, let me show it to you. I think
459
00:21:08.819 --> 00:21:10.200
this will be your room, my dear.
460
00:21:10.220 --> 00:21:10.920
Are you frightened?
461
00:21:11.349 --> 00:21:11.890
See the door?
462
00:21:11.910 --> 00:21:13.049
Hair tight. Hair tight.
463
00:21:13.069 --> 00:21:19.680
Yes, indeed. I'll open it. The room. Amazing sight, isn't it?
464
00:21:19.690 --> 00:21:20.869
No doors, no windows.
465
00:21:20.970 --> 00:21:21.880
I could have helped you, Ella.
466
00:21:21.910 --> 00:21:24.019
Now, I'll shut you up inside the room, then I'll
467
00:21:24.099 --> 00:21:27.079
close the door and press this button here like this.
468
00:21:31.619 --> 00:21:32.759
You hear that, little one?
469
00:21:32.859 --> 00:21:37.759
You hear that? Pumping, pumping, pumping. And guess what is pumping?
470
00:21:37.799 --> 00:21:43.000
Go, Ella, go, Ella. It's clever, isn't it?
471
00:21:43.039 --> 00:21:45.400
You breathe, and soon there'll be nothing there to breathe,
472
00:21:45.460 --> 00:21:47.589
and then you'll die. And if the police do find
473
00:21:47.609 --> 00:21:50.210
your body, no mark of violence, nothing but asphyxiation. A
474
00:21:50.789 --> 00:21:54.109
most mysterious death, they'll say. In time, they'll decide it's
475
00:21:54.170 --> 00:21:56.789
all quite natural, embolism, heart attack. Oh, they'll think up
476
00:21:56.869 --> 00:21:58.279
a fancy name to clear their files.
477
00:21:58.299 --> 00:21:59.180
Yes, indeed, they always do.
478
00:21:59.359 --> 00:22:00.910
It isn't right for him to leave us, is it?
479
00:22:00.960 --> 00:22:04.039
Now, first, off with the pump. Now, my dear, I
480
00:22:04.099 --> 00:22:04.940
think you'd better.
481
00:22:04.740 --> 00:22:07.059
Step inside quickly now so I can close the door
482
00:22:07.079 --> 00:22:07.980
and go about my other work.
483
00:22:08.019 --> 00:22:09.920
Quickly, I tell you. No, wait. Wait? Wait for what?
484
00:22:09.940 --> 00:22:11.859
I want to give you something. What can you give
485
00:22:11.880 --> 00:22:13.529
me that doesn't belong to me already?
486
00:22:13.549 --> 00:22:15.390
This.
487
00:22:15.430 --> 00:22:20.049
Gun. Get in there. Get in that room. Gun. You
488
00:22:20.089 --> 00:22:21.390
had a gun in your purse all the time.
489
00:22:21.490 --> 00:22:23.210
I promise. I brought it for the man who.
490
00:22:23.940 --> 00:22:26.529
Nadella. Get in there. No, no, no. What are you doing?
491
00:22:26.549 --> 00:22:28.809
Get in there. I'll press the trigger. Get in there.
492
00:22:28.849 --> 00:22:30.190
I'll kill you. No, no, don't do it. Don't.
493
00:22:30.430 --> 00:22:32.210
I'm an old harmless man. I was only fooling. I
494
00:22:32.230 --> 00:22:34.329
wouldn't hurt you for the.
495
00:22:36.029 --> 00:22:36.349
World.
496
00:22:36.430 --> 00:22:36.789
Revenge.
497
00:22:38.799 --> 00:22:40.000
Try to revenge, Nadella.
498
00:22:40.059 --> 00:22:44.039
Don't hurt me. Don't hurt me. Don't hurt me. He
499
00:22:44.059 --> 00:22:44.819
said to press this.
500
00:22:44.720 --> 00:22:47.819
Button, Nadella. Don't hurt me.
501
00:22:47.859 --> 00:22:48.519
Don't hurt me, Nadella.
502
00:22:51.029 --> 00:22:51.849
It's running, Ella.
503
00:22:51.910 --> 00:22:52.670
Listen to it.
504
00:22:53.289 --> 00:22:55.369
It's killing him the way he killed you. It's right
505
00:22:55.410 --> 00:22:57.289
to revenge, isn't it, little sister? Right to revenge.
506
00:22:57.349 --> 00:22:57.970
Right to revenge.
507
00:22:58.490 --> 00:22:59.150
Right to revenge.
508
00:22:59.269 --> 00:23:00.150
Right to revenge.
509
00:23:00.630 --> 00:23:01.250
Right to revenge.
510
00:23:01.750 --> 00:23:02.309
Right to revenge.
511
00:23:02.849 --> 00:23:09.960
Right to revenge. Right to revenge. The air.
512
00:23:09.980 --> 00:23:11.220
It's going out.
513
00:23:12.480 --> 00:23:16.559
The air. Shut off that motor out there. You hear me?
514
00:23:17.660 --> 00:23:21.750
Shut off that motor. Coming out the air. Coming it out.
515
00:23:22.769 --> 00:23:27.720
The pipe. The air going out. I can't reach the pipe.
516
00:23:29.079 --> 00:23:30.440
Shut it off, you devil out there.
517
00:23:30.460 --> 00:23:30.859
Shut it off.
518
00:23:30.940 --> 00:23:34.440
It'll kill me. Kill me.
519
00:23:35.660 --> 00:23:36.869
It's getting thinner already.
520
00:23:38.150 --> 00:23:38.750
Shut it off.
521
00:23:39.130 --> 00:23:42.630
I'll give you anything. Anything you want. Shut off that pump.
522
00:23:42.730 --> 00:23:44.670
I can't die.
523
00:23:45.150 --> 00:23:45.930
I won't die.
524
00:23:49.309 --> 00:23:50.910
I tear the walls down.
525
00:23:50.930 --> 00:23:54.359
Let me out of here.
526
00:23:55.539 --> 00:23:57.740
Air. It's got to end here.
527
00:23:58.660 --> 00:24:00.180
Let me out.
528
00:24:00.460 --> 00:24:03.160
Let me out. Breath.
529
00:24:04.519 --> 00:24:07.269
My ears. My ear.
530
00:24:07.809 --> 00:24:13.470
Throat's breaking. Blood in my mouth. My eyes.
531
00:24:13.710 --> 00:24:17.230
No air. Breathing.
532
00:24:18.730 --> 00:24:24.319
Air. Give me air. Give me air. Air.
533
00:24:30.559 --> 00:24:31.880
Revenge. Revenge.
534
00:24:32.200 --> 00:24:33.450
Revenge. Revenge.
535
00:24:33.789 --> 00:24:35.190
Revenge. Revenge.
536
00:24:35.509 --> 00:24:36.049
Revenge.
537
00:24:36.349 --> 00:24:43.609
Revenge. Over and over again. Such a young and pretty girl.
538
00:24:44.130 --> 00:24:45.740
What could have driven her out.
539
00:24:45.660 --> 00:25:03.859
Of her mind crazy like that? What, I ask you? Well, Mr. Obler,
540
00:25:04.599 --> 00:25:08.160
and I suppose they all died happily ever after. You
541
00:25:08.799 --> 00:25:11.019
put things so sweetly, Mr. Martin.
542
00:25:12.339 --> 00:25:14.319
The dark corners of the human mind are.
543
00:25:14.279 --> 00:25:16.980
The deepest dark, I believe, of anything in the universe.
544
00:25:18.400 --> 00:25:21.259
Speaking of darkness... How would you like to turn back
545
00:25:21.299 --> 00:25:24.559
the pages of that nebulous stuff known as time to
546
00:25:24.579 --> 00:25:28.109
the Sakhalin of Tsarist Russia? You mean right now, Mr.
547
00:25:28.170 --> 00:25:28.869
Oberlin?
548
00:25:29.250 --> 00:25:31.349
You know the answer to that as well as I do, Frank.
549
00:25:31.410 --> 00:25:35.210
It's always after you've had your say for ironized yeast. Remember, friends,
550
00:25:35.829 --> 00:25:39.150
if you're deficient in vitamin B1 and iron, if that's
551
00:25:39.190 --> 00:25:42.859
why you're so under par in weight and strength and energy,
552
00:25:43.319 --> 00:25:47.740
then get ironized yeast tablets right away. Now, of course,
553
00:25:47.779 --> 00:25:50.839
a run-down condition may be due to other causes. If
554
00:25:50.900 --> 00:25:54.380
in doubt, see your doctor. But if you're simply short
555
00:25:54.519 --> 00:25:59.180
vitamin B1 and iron, remember, ironized yeast has been so
556
00:25:59.220 --> 00:26:03.490
successful in such cases that it's sold on this no-risk,
557
00:26:03.890 --> 00:26:07.650
money-back basis. If you don't begin to eat better, to
558
00:26:07.710 --> 00:26:12.099
look and feel much stronger, peppier, and more alive, the
559
00:26:12.150 --> 00:26:14.640
cost of the first bottle will be refunded to you
560
00:26:14.799 --> 00:26:23.599
in full by Ironized Yeast, Fox IY, Raleway, New Jersey. Now,
561
00:26:24.099 --> 00:26:27.420
what is this about Sakhalin? Isn't that the Russian island
562
00:26:27.460 --> 00:26:32.019
up above Japan? Yes, but our story concerns itself only about.
563
00:26:31.849 --> 00:26:38.309
The Sakhalin, which was used as an execution ground and, well,
564
00:26:38.349 --> 00:26:41.890
it was a sort of a macabre education ground and
565
00:26:41.930 --> 00:26:44.029
a devil's island against the enemies of the Tsar.
566
00:26:44.789 --> 00:26:48.490
It's a strange story of man's inhumanity to man in
567
00:26:48.559 --> 00:26:50.819
one of the strangest places this world has ever known.
568
00:26:51.779 --> 00:26:53.319
But be with us again as usual.
569
