00:00:00.170 --> 00:00:03.410
Four tourists on a scenic canyon excursion are cut off
2
00:00:03.450 --> 00:00:06.320
when a rock slide seals them in among fallen boulders.
3
00:00:06.889 --> 00:00:09.699
With steep canyon walls around them and their route blocked,
4
00:00:10.060 --> 00:00:14.019
the group is forced to confront fear, guilt, and personal secrets.
5
00:00:14.980 --> 00:00:19.780
This is Lights Out, Nature Study, Episode 38, written by
6
00:00:19.940 --> 00:00:23.579
Arch Obler for the CBS revival of the series and
7
00:00:23.640 --> 00:00:26.370
originally broadcast June 22, 1943, with Ironized Yeast as sponsor.
8
00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:33.759
Kathy Lewis and Mary Jane Croft were heard in its
9
00:00:33.820 --> 00:00:39.679
later syndicated rebroadcast as part of The Devil and Mr. O. Now,
10
00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:41.920
back to the golden age of radio.
11
00:00:45.659 --> 00:00:51.259
Lights out for The Devil and Mr. O.
12
00:00:51.299 --> 00:00:54.070
The Devil and Mr. O.
13
00:01:01.579 --> 00:01:20.010
Is later than you think. Turn out your light now.
14
00:01:21.790 --> 00:01:27.969
We bring you stories of the supernatural and the supernormal, dramatizing.
15
00:01:27.109 --> 00:01:28.750
The fantasies and the mysteries.
16
00:01:30.489 --> 00:01:32.670
We tell you this frankly so that if you wish
17
00:01:32.689 --> 00:01:37.099
to avoid the excitement and tension of these imaginative plays,
18
00:01:37.180 --> 00:01:40.319
we urge you calmly but sincerely to turn off your
19
00:01:40.379 --> 00:01:48.319
radio now. This is Mr. O, Arch Overland. Nature Study
20
00:01:48.340 --> 00:01:50.680
is the title of our story, Nature Study. That's a
21
00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:54.739
charming pastime, the wonders of nature and all its infinite variety.
22
00:01:55.629 --> 00:01:58.659
But the most varied and fantastic subject of all, I think,
23
00:01:59.109 --> 00:02:02.379
is the nature of man and woman, the saint in them.
24
00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:03.099
The devil in them.
25
00:02:06.739 --> 00:02:11.219
And now, if you haven't already done so, turn off
26
00:02:11.259 --> 00:02:14.199
your lights for a nature study.
27
00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:21.900
Yes. There we are.
28
00:02:22.250 --> 00:02:23.349
There we are where?
29
00:02:23.449 --> 00:02:24.110
Look about you.
30
00:02:24.349 --> 00:02:26.889
Oh, my goodness, it is beautiful, isn't it?
31
00:02:27.009 --> 00:02:28.669
I did not know this was where we were going.
32
00:02:28.689 --> 00:02:30.110
It's like a canyon, isn't it?
33
00:02:30.169 --> 00:02:32.409
It is a canyon. A cleft in the rocks, few
34
00:02:32.449 --> 00:02:33.930
people in this part of the country know.
35
00:02:33.969 --> 00:02:36.030
Well, I'm sitting down to rest my poor body.
36
00:02:36.129 --> 00:02:37.300
Oh, no, no, no, no.
37
00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:39.900
No, Miss God, we must go on. Oh, no. Where
38
00:02:40.060 --> 00:02:42.000
are we going? Come now, come.
39
00:02:42.379 --> 00:02:44.639
On all our other Sunday nature study trips, I've never
40
00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:45.400
had such rebellion.
41
00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:47.080
Because we've never walked so far before.
42
00:02:47.099 --> 00:02:49.120
That's right. Where is it you are taking us today, Mr.
43
00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:49.360
Arnold?
44
00:02:49.400 --> 00:02:49.979
To Canada?
45
00:02:50.780 --> 00:02:54.099
My dear friends and neighbors, we're exactly 15 miles from home.
46
00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:55.800
You could think we're out of this world.
47
00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:56.219
Yes.
48
00:02:56.560 --> 00:02:58.460
Even in the midst of the city's turmoil, one can
49
00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:01.759
find nature's true isolation. Well, where do we go from here?
50
00:03:02.199 --> 00:03:04.710
There's a little path down through the canyon. There we
51
00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:06.280
will find lightings of many varieties.
52
00:03:06.310 --> 00:03:06.689
Oh, my goodness.
53
00:03:07.379 --> 00:03:08.379
I know, I know.
54
00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:12.409
They are like little ferns in the rock. Excellent, Mr. Kamalin, excellent.
55
00:03:12.469 --> 00:03:13.889
Oh, I remember from last week.
56
00:03:14.030 --> 00:03:15.990
You will not see scratches on the face of the rock.
57
00:03:16.030 --> 00:03:21.379
Who did it? Not who. What? The glacier. What's the matter,
58
00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:23.860
Miss Garland? You seem displeased.
59
00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:25.900
All I want to say is this. Do you mean
60
00:03:25.939 --> 00:03:28.000
to say we came all this way by subway and
61
00:03:28.060 --> 00:03:30.939
streetcar and bus just to see some old rock scratches?
62
00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:33.219
Well, there isn't any place in the state that has
63
00:03:33.300 --> 00:03:35.300
a finer record of glacial action.
64
00:03:35.479 --> 00:03:37.300
How do you like that? I thought I was going
65
00:03:37.319 --> 00:03:40.080
to see flowers and then just scratches and rocks.
66
00:03:40.219 --> 00:03:42.360
Well, Miss Gardner, Mr. Arnold, he's a smart man. He
67
00:03:42.379 --> 00:03:42.659
knows that.
68
00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:44.439
Well, then maybe he knows I want to go home.
69
00:03:44.460 --> 00:03:46.900
I see you're tired. This is all there is to see.
70
00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:49.879
I'm starting back now. Oh, come on, Miss Wilkins.
71
00:03:49.900 --> 00:03:51.819
Let's get out of here. Find some real excitement.
72
00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:51.889
Oh.
73
00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:53.469
Oh, no.
74
00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:54.009
After all, Mr.
75
00:03:54.090 --> 00:03:55.300
Arnold took all the time and.
76
00:03:55.340 --> 00:03:56.500
What's that?
77
00:03:56.580 --> 00:03:57.479
Something up there.
78
00:03:57.539 --> 00:03:58.219
The rocks.
79
00:03:58.259 --> 00:03:58.740
Look out.
80
00:03:58.780 --> 00:04:00.400
Miss Wilkins.
81
00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:04.240
Miss Wilkins. She passed out, I think.
82
00:04:04.259 --> 00:04:04.330
You.
83
00:04:13.889 --> 00:04:14.770
You all right? Yeah.
84
00:04:15.090 --> 00:04:15.889
Yeah, fine.
85
00:04:16.269 --> 00:04:19.480
Oh, see? She's all right. Miss Wilkins, are you hurt?
86
00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:20.379
Are you hurt?
87
00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:22.600
Oh, sure, sure.
88
00:04:22.860 --> 00:04:25.839
Just fainted. And no wonder all those rocks falling down.
89
00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:30.569
Miracle we weren't hurt. You all right, Mr. Kamara? Oh, sure, sure.
90
00:04:30.730 --> 00:04:34.810
We all all right. Nobody hurt. Miss Wilkins, what's the matter?
91
00:04:35.230 --> 00:04:36.750
Under that rock.
92
00:04:36.829 --> 00:04:37.069
Legs.
93
00:04:38.110 --> 00:04:41.670
Who? Miss God. The rocks.
94
00:04:41.750 --> 00:04:42.149
Get them off.
95
00:04:42.189 --> 00:04:42.769
Get her out.
96
00:04:42.790 --> 00:04:43.689
Get the rocks off me.
97
00:04:43.709 --> 00:04:44.410
Get her out.
98
00:04:44.470 --> 00:04:45.350
No, no, Miss Wilkins.
99
00:04:45.370 --> 00:04:45.829
Get her out.
100
00:04:45.850 --> 00:04:47.050
You can't stay back.
101
00:04:47.089 --> 00:04:49.170
You'll get her out. Yeah, we'll do it.
102
00:04:49.209 --> 00:04:49.990
We'll do it.
103
00:04:50.009 --> 00:04:50.379
Come on.
104
00:04:50.389 --> 00:04:50.730
Come on.
105
00:04:50.769 --> 00:04:51.050
Hurry.
106
00:04:51.089 --> 00:04:51.569
Hurry.
107
00:04:51.670 --> 00:04:51.970
Hurry.
108
00:04:52.189 --> 00:04:54.269
I'm the other one now. Come on.
109
00:04:54.370 --> 00:04:55.189
Now, a little more.
110
00:04:55.230 --> 00:04:55.670
There.
111
00:04:55.750 --> 00:04:56.709
One more rock.
112
00:04:56.850 --> 00:04:57.370
One more rock.
113
00:04:57.389 --> 00:04:58.410
You hear that, Miss Wilkins?
114
00:04:58.490 --> 00:04:59.009
One more rock.
115
00:04:59.110 --> 00:04:59.829
She's dead.
116
00:04:59.949 --> 00:05:00.920
I know she's dead.
117
00:05:00.939 --> 00:05:01.240
Can't move.
118
00:05:01.250 --> 00:05:02.860
Lift more, Miss Serrano.
119
00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:03.040
Lift.
120
00:05:03.060 --> 00:05:03.300
Lift. Oh.
121
00:05:03.379 --> 00:05:03.459
Oh.
122
00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:11.569
Oh, Miss Gard.
123
00:05:12.009 --> 00:05:12.310
No, no.
124
00:05:12.350 --> 00:05:13.509
Wait, wait.
125
00:05:13.569 --> 00:05:18.149
Look. Miss Wilkins, be quiet. Miss Gard, she's still alive. Alive?
126
00:05:19.170 --> 00:05:24.610
But how can... Shh, shh, shh. She's trying to talk. Yes,
127
00:05:24.649 --> 00:05:31.189
Miss Gard. I'm here. I'm listening. Yes, what is it?
128
00:05:31.350 --> 00:05:34.949
I don't know. I'm sorry. I can't understand you, Miss Gard.
129
00:05:35.550 --> 00:05:37.430
What are you trying to tell us? Yes, yes. What,
130
00:05:37.470 --> 00:05:39.019
Miss Gard? What? I.
131
00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:46.790
I can't die without telling you.
132
00:05:46.810 --> 00:05:50.310
Telling you what?
133
00:05:50.430 --> 00:05:56.790
My husband didn't die hard to save.
134
00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:08.399
I killed him. Poison. I killed him. Please.
135
00:06:13.810 --> 00:06:28.699
The guard!
136
00:06:28.740 --> 00:06:28.899
She.
137
00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:32.480
She's dead.
138
00:06:32.980 --> 00:06:34.399
You feel better now, Miss Wilkins?
139
00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:36.430
I'm all right.
140
00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:38.449
Oh, don't try to get up. Just rest.
141
00:06:38.730 --> 00:06:38.970
Rest.
142
00:06:39.889 --> 00:06:41.740
A few minutes more or less won't make any difference.
143
00:06:42.620 --> 00:06:42.879
No.
144
00:06:44.540 --> 00:06:44.959
Mr.
145
00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:46.240
Arnold.
146
00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:47.199
Yes, Mr.
147
00:06:47.220 --> 00:06:50.220
Kamara. I have been sitting here.
148
00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:54.350
I have been trying to figure.
149
00:06:54.110 --> 00:06:58.410
It out in my head. Why is it? Well, there
150
00:06:58.449 --> 00:06:59.730
must have been a fissure in the rocks.
151
00:07:00.050 --> 00:07:02.509
The action of frost and rain loosened them and perhaps
152
00:07:02.529 --> 00:07:03.709
the vibration of our.
153
00:07:03.730 --> 00:07:09.120
No, no, I'm... I'm thinking why should it... Hurt her,
154
00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:10.680
not us.
155
00:07:10.740 --> 00:07:12.399
Well, I guess that's what you'd call Kate.
156
00:07:12.730 --> 00:07:14.589
Do you think.
157
00:07:14.829 --> 00:07:15.629
Did she.
158
00:07:17.490 --> 00:07:21.470
Really kill her husband like you said?
159
00:07:21.889 --> 00:07:22.889
Well, I don't know.
160
00:07:23.829 --> 00:07:26.170
I don't know anything about her except she was a neighbor.
161
00:07:26.209 --> 00:07:28.689
Yes. And she lived in our building for a whole
162
00:07:28.709 --> 00:07:31.019
year already. I really don't know about her.
163
00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:31.620
I know.
164
00:07:32.939 --> 00:07:33.720
You, Miss Worthy?
165
00:07:34.160 --> 00:07:34.740
Tell us, please.
166
00:07:36.430 --> 00:07:37.689
She used to sing in nightclubs.
167
00:07:38.009 --> 00:07:38.610
Oh, really?
168
00:07:39.170 --> 00:07:40.810
One morning she wasn't feeling good. She came down to
169
00:07:40.829 --> 00:07:41.370
my apartment.
170
00:07:41.410 --> 00:07:42.509
I guess she felt like talking.
171
00:07:42.889 --> 00:07:44.490
She told me she used to work in this nightclub.
172
00:07:44.550 --> 00:07:46.470
And then she married this rich fellow, lots of older than.
173
00:07:46.329 --> 00:07:47.990
She was, lots of money. And she married him.
174
00:07:48.009 --> 00:07:49.750
And she didn't like him very much.
175
00:07:49.829 --> 00:07:51.920
And all of a sudden he died.
176
00:07:52.839 --> 00:07:52.959
Oh.
177
00:07:53.420 --> 00:07:56.980
Did she tell you that there was anything unusual about
178
00:07:57.019 --> 00:07:57.459
his death?
179
00:07:57.699 --> 00:07:57.939
No.
180
00:07:58.579 --> 00:08:00.339
She just said all of a sudden he died.
181
00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:01.879
Like poison?
182
00:08:03.220 --> 00:08:04.439
What are we sitting here for?
183
00:08:04.459 --> 00:08:05.480
Let's get out of here quick.
184
00:08:05.500 --> 00:08:06.399
Let's get out of here.
185
00:08:06.439 --> 00:08:08.600
Yes, Mr. Arno, why do you sit there? Lead us
186
00:08:08.620 --> 00:08:10.079
the way out. Mr.
187
00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:11.720
Arno, what's the matter with you? Why do you sit
188
00:08:11.740 --> 00:08:13.519
there looking at us? I.
189
00:08:15.009 --> 00:08:16.449
I didn't want to say anything before.
190
00:08:16.470 --> 00:08:18.189
Say what?
191
00:08:18.689 --> 00:08:21.550
Say what? I went over there, the only way out
192
00:08:21.589 --> 00:08:25.129
of the canyon. The rocks have blocked it off. I'm
193
00:08:25.149 --> 00:08:26.439
very much afraid we can't get out.
194
00:08:34.210 --> 00:08:35.350
It's no use talking to me, Mr.
195
00:08:35.409 --> 00:08:35.570
Arno.
196
00:08:35.610 --> 00:08:36.720
But it's so dangerous.
197
00:08:36.750 --> 00:08:37.220
Dangerous?
198
00:08:37.269 --> 00:08:40.000
What is dangerous? I climb up the rocks. I'm like stairs.
199
00:08:40.200 --> 00:08:41.860
I pull up over the top and I'm off. Oh,
200
00:08:41.899 --> 00:08:43.299
but I insist it's dangerous.
201
00:08:43.340 --> 00:08:45.799
That tumble of rocks. Miss Wilkins, am I not right?
202
00:08:45.960 --> 00:08:48.159
Well, we just can't wait in here forever and I'm
203
00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:49.700
sure that Mr. Kamara knows what he's doing.
204
00:08:49.720 --> 00:08:50.840
That is a very smart girl.
205
00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:51.720
Look at that wall.
206
00:08:51.759 --> 00:08:53.659
It is nothing. Oh, but I... Oh, you don't worry, Mr.
207
00:08:53.720 --> 00:08:53.899
Arno.
208
00:08:53.940 --> 00:08:56.019
I told you the rocks along here like steps.
209
00:08:56.340 --> 00:08:58.000
I climb up and I go and get help and
210
00:08:58.019 --> 00:08:59.299
soon I have you out of here. All you do
211
00:08:59.340 --> 00:09:01.860
is to help me up that first rock. Well, all
212
00:09:01.899 --> 00:09:02.779
right if you insist.
213
00:09:02.820 --> 00:09:03.460
Sure, sure.
214
00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:06.159
Put your Put your hands together on a grip. Like that.
215
00:09:06.200 --> 00:09:08.220
That is right. I put my foot in your hand
216
00:09:08.279 --> 00:09:09.879
and you push up and give a boost, right? Yes.
217
00:09:10.299 --> 00:09:11.759
All right. Put your hands down.
218
00:09:12.159 --> 00:09:13.019
I get my foot.
219
00:09:14.399 --> 00:09:16.210
Now, lift.
220
00:09:17.509 --> 00:09:19.009
I am up.
221
00:09:19.629 --> 00:09:21.350
Well, I'm up here already. The rest of the way
222
00:09:21.370 --> 00:09:24.090
to climb is easy. What did I tell you? Be careful, Mr.
223
00:09:24.110 --> 00:09:24.490
Cameron.
224
00:09:24.549 --> 00:09:28.929
Here I go. He is very strong, isn't he?
225
00:09:28.950 --> 00:09:29.970
What did you say, Miss Wilkinson?
226
00:09:30.669 --> 00:09:32.470
He is very strong, isn't he?
227
00:09:32.909 --> 00:09:35.590
Oh, yes, he is. Careful of loose rocks, Mr.
228
00:09:35.610 --> 00:09:36.029
Kamaran.
229
00:09:36.129 --> 00:09:36.769
I am all right.
230
00:09:36.950 --> 00:09:39.049
Test every handhold. Those rocks are loose.
231
00:09:39.070 --> 00:09:39.870
You get us out of here.
232
00:09:39.909 --> 00:09:41.340
I know you will. Yes, yes, you will.
233
00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:42.100
He.
234
00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:44.399
He's up so high.
235
00:09:44.580 --> 00:09:48.720
Oh, yes. I... I just can't watch anymore. Well, he...
236
00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:51.720
He only has a few more feet to go, and
237
00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:55.779
he'll be over the edge. You're doing very well, Mr.
238
00:09:55.799 --> 00:09:57.519
Kamaran. Sure, I told you.
239
00:09:57.759 --> 00:09:59.269
You know Kamaran, he always goes.
240
00:10:00.659 --> 00:10:00.879
Mr.
241
00:10:00.899 --> 00:10:01.460
Camarron, what?
242
00:10:01.639 --> 00:10:02.259
What's the matter with him?
243
00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:04.490
I don't know. He suddenly stopped talking.
244
00:10:04.509 --> 00:10:05.889
He isn't moving. Mr.
245
00:10:05.909 --> 00:10:08.929
Camarron, what is the matter? Mr.
246
00:10:08.970 --> 00:10:11.730
Camarron. My arm.
247
00:10:12.970 --> 00:10:14.909
Come on.
248
00:10:14.929 --> 00:10:18.730
I can't hold. Cramping his arm. Hold on, Mr.
249
00:10:18.750 --> 00:10:19.129
Kamaran.
250
00:10:19.269 --> 00:10:20.370
I'll try to get up to you.
251
00:10:20.669 --> 00:10:21.429
Don't let go.
252
00:10:21.809 --> 00:10:22.230
I'll try to.
253
00:10:22.230 --> 00:10:24.669
Let go!
254
00:10:29.460 --> 00:10:30.799
Mr. Kamaran.
255
00:10:33.139 --> 00:10:33.379
Mr.
256
00:10:33.419 --> 00:10:33.899
Kamaran.
257
00:10:34.919 --> 00:10:37.500
Dad.
258
00:10:38.720 --> 00:10:41.090
No, no, I don't think so. He lifted up his head.
259
00:10:42.490 --> 00:10:56.929
Mr. Kamaran, what... Couldn't hold on. Listen. I don't tell you.
260
00:10:57.549 --> 00:10:58.269
I'm listening.
261
00:10:58.470 --> 00:11:01.330
My war.
262
00:11:02.809 --> 00:11:05.970
Broke. We'll be dead.
263
00:11:06.990 --> 00:11:07.929
We'll be.
264
00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:13.440
Dead. Can't die without telling. When I was a boy,
265
00:11:22.009 --> 00:11:32.899
One hunting with my brother. He never came back. They
266
00:11:32.940 --> 00:11:41.580
thought he had run away. Not true. I wanted his knife.
267
00:11:41.730 --> 00:11:42.679
I wanted his knife.
268
00:11:49.940 --> 00:11:50.840
Mary, you.
269
00:11:52.879 --> 00:12:00.669
I killed my brother.
270
00:12:09.620 --> 00:12:19.389
Miss Wilkins, where are you? Miss Wilkins, are you hiding?
271
00:12:19.409 --> 00:12:22.289
Miss Wilkins, you shouldn't have run away like that.
272
00:12:22.309 --> 00:12:22.889
You shouldn't.
273
00:12:23.419 --> 00:12:24.860
We'll work something out together.
274
00:12:25.120 --> 00:12:30.769
We'll get out of here. Oh, there you are. Why
275
00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:34.159
did you hide back here? Nothing's going to hurt you. Nothing.
276
00:12:34.379 --> 00:12:35.740
You're wrong.
277
00:12:35.779 --> 00:12:36.340
You're wrong.
278
00:12:36.360 --> 00:12:38.019
What? I'll never get out.
279
00:12:38.120 --> 00:12:39.179
Never, never, never.
280
00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:42.200
But why should you say that? This canyon is well known.
281
00:12:42.279 --> 00:12:45.159
Sooner or later, every moment, someone will come along and
282
00:12:45.200 --> 00:12:45.919
see us down here.
283
00:12:45.960 --> 00:12:47.299
No, never, never, never.
284
00:12:47.500 --> 00:12:49.820
Now, that's no way to talk, Miss Wilkins.
285
00:12:50.019 --> 00:12:51.279
They are dead, aren't they?
286
00:12:51.960 --> 00:12:52.580
Aren't they?
287
00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:53.820
Don't think of them.
288
00:12:53.840 --> 00:12:54.879
I've got to think of them.
289
00:12:54.919 --> 00:12:55.460
They're me.
290
00:12:55.480 --> 00:12:55.779
Me.
291
00:12:55.820 --> 00:12:57.559
What are you talking about?
292
00:12:58.230 --> 00:12:59.950
You think I haven't got a brain in my head.
293
00:13:00.129 --> 00:13:01.590
You think I don't know what I'm talking about.
294
00:13:01.610 --> 00:13:02.190
Well, I do.
295
00:13:02.289 --> 00:13:04.629
I always do. I let everybody think I'm a fool,
296
00:13:04.649 --> 00:13:06.610
but I know more than you or anyone. And I
297
00:13:06.649 --> 00:13:07.549
know why they died.
298
00:13:07.629 --> 00:13:09.309
I know. Miss Wilkins, I don't know.
299
00:13:09.330 --> 00:13:09.830
I'm telling you.
300
00:13:09.870 --> 00:13:10.330
Listen to me.
301
00:13:10.389 --> 00:13:12.049
I'm telling you. I know why they died.
302
00:13:12.070 --> 00:13:12.649
Yes, of course.
303
00:13:12.720 --> 00:13:13.169
It was actually.
304
00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:14.159
Will you listen to me?
305
00:13:14.799 --> 00:13:15.299
All right.
306
00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:18.559
Miss Gard died. And she committed a murder.
307
00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:19.620
Yes. And Mr.
308
00:13:19.659 --> 00:13:22.059
Kamarin died. And he committed a murder.
309
00:13:22.179 --> 00:13:22.559
Well?
310
00:13:23.080 --> 00:13:25.480
That's why I won't get out of here alive. I
311
00:13:25.500 --> 00:13:26.919
committed a murder, too.
312
00:13:27.730 --> 00:13:29.809
I committed a murder, too.
313
00:13:31.750 --> 00:13:38.870
That's... That's unbelievable. Oh, you're just saying things hysterically.
314
00:13:38.889 --> 00:13:40.669
No, no, not true.
315
00:13:40.850 --> 00:13:43.000
But you, where, how?
316
00:13:43.580 --> 00:13:44.159
Married.
317
00:13:44.600 --> 00:13:46.740
All I wanted to do was get married.
318
00:13:46.759 --> 00:13:46.840
What?
319
00:13:47.039 --> 00:13:47.200
What?
320
00:13:48.610 --> 00:13:50.490
Mary Jane Ellis, we'd gone to school together.
321
00:13:50.509 --> 00:13:51.610
The same room in Connie's.
322
00:13:51.649 --> 00:13:52.690
The same room when we came.
323
00:13:52.549 --> 00:13:53.289
Here to go to work.
324
00:13:53.649 --> 00:13:54.330
Always together.
325
00:13:55.100 --> 00:13:56.509
My best friend, everyone.
326
00:13:56.169 --> 00:13:57.700
Said my best friend, that's old Joe.
327
00:13:58.429 --> 00:13:59.980
I met him first and then she met him. She
328
00:14:00.019 --> 00:14:01.679
said she didn't like him, but I knew she did.
329
00:14:01.720 --> 00:14:02.200
She did.
330
00:14:02.659 --> 00:14:04.360
At the party, I came into the room. His arms
331
00:14:04.399 --> 00:14:06.019
had been around her. I knew they had.
332
00:14:06.059 --> 00:14:07.759
He couldn't fool me. She couldn't fool me.
333
00:14:08.200 --> 00:14:09.779
It was her fault, not his.
334
00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:10.799
My best friend.
335
00:14:11.320 --> 00:14:13.299
Joe was for me, not for her. He was thinking
336
00:14:13.340 --> 00:14:13.620
about her.
337
00:14:13.639 --> 00:14:16.120
He kept on thinking about her. Pretty all right, she
338
00:14:16.139 --> 00:14:17.399
was pretty, but he was for me.
339
00:14:17.480 --> 00:14:20.399
For me. The night I lied there thinking that she
340
00:14:20.419 --> 00:14:20.879
was dead.
341
00:14:21.419 --> 00:14:22.080
She was dead.
342
00:14:22.419 --> 00:14:23.580
She had to be dead.
343
00:14:23.600 --> 00:14:26.690
She had to be dead.
344
00:14:26.990 --> 00:14:34.129
Miss Wilkins, for five years, I've known you for five years.
345
00:14:34.149 --> 00:14:35.610
What you're saying isn't true.
346
00:14:36.149 --> 00:14:40.269
I know it isn't. Your mind, all that happened, you
347
00:14:40.320 --> 00:14:40.919
couldn't really.
348
00:14:40.960 --> 00:14:42.059
Shut up, Blanche!
349
00:14:42.139 --> 00:14:44.019
Shut up!
350
00:14:44.860 --> 00:14:48.409
All right, Miss Wilkins. You listen to me.
351
00:14:50.210 --> 00:14:50.779
I killed her.
352
00:14:52.090 --> 00:14:53.629
I killed her with poison.
353
00:14:54.529 --> 00:14:57.509
And I'm going to die the way they did. And
354
00:14:57.529 --> 00:14:59.309
there's nothing anyone can do about it.
355
00:14:59.330 --> 00:15:00.409
You're out of your mind.
356
00:15:00.590 --> 00:15:02.509
Now I know exactly what I'm saying and doing. Do
357
00:15:05.179 --> 00:15:08.240
you know how long I've waited for this moment, Mr.
358
00:15:08.340 --> 00:15:08.659
Arno?
359
00:15:10.080 --> 00:15:10.720
Five years.
360
00:15:11.940 --> 00:15:17.090
Five years. Every night for five years. Every time I
361
00:15:17.129 --> 00:15:20.429
was alone in the dark, I've been waiting for this moment.
362
00:15:22.820 --> 00:15:24.480
I don't have to wait anymore.
363
00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:30.480
Why not? Because it's here. Who?
364
00:15:30.759 --> 00:15:32.039
It's here in the canyon.
365
00:15:33.039 --> 00:15:36.860
Waiting. Waiting to kill me. There's no one here but
366
00:15:36.879 --> 00:15:37.500
you and me.
367
00:15:37.559 --> 00:15:39.139
They knew, and now I know.
368
00:15:39.159 --> 00:15:41.470
Well, I tell you there's no one in this canyon
369
00:15:41.509 --> 00:15:42.070
but the two of us.
370
00:15:43.110 --> 00:15:43.950
And their bodies.
371
00:15:45.269 --> 00:15:45.389
What?
372
00:15:47.990 --> 00:15:48.909
What's over there?
373
00:15:50.970 --> 00:15:54.480
Oh, nothing but the shadow of a rock on the
374
00:15:54.500 --> 00:15:57.700
canyon wall. Not a shadow, Mr.
375
00:15:57.799 --> 00:15:58.120
Arno.
376
00:15:58.539 --> 00:15:59.600
What are you talking about?
377
00:16:00.779 --> 00:16:01.980
Not a shadow, Mr.
378
00:16:02.120 --> 00:16:02.480
Arno.
379
00:16:02.840 --> 00:16:04.960
I see it plainly. It is a shadow.
380
00:16:05.559 --> 00:16:07.139
Not a shadow, Mr. Arno.
381
00:16:07.159 --> 00:16:12.389
Why do you keep The sun is getting lower in
382
00:16:12.429 --> 00:16:12.909
the sky.
383
00:16:12.929 --> 00:16:14.409
If it touches me, I'll die.
384
00:16:14.450 --> 00:16:15.009
Don't say that.
385
00:16:15.309 --> 00:16:16.330
The way they die.
386
00:16:16.350 --> 00:16:17.269
Stop talking nonsense.
387
00:16:17.909 --> 00:16:22.129
Get you out of here. Someone will come along. Up there.
388
00:16:23.029 --> 00:16:24.179
Is there anyone up there?
389
00:16:24.919 --> 00:16:26.179
We're down in the canyon.
390
00:16:26.940 --> 00:16:27.879
Get us out of here.
391
00:16:27.899 --> 00:16:32.639
Now, you just sit there and relax until summer.
392
00:16:35.429 --> 00:16:43.580
Miss Wilkins. Miss Wilkins. Dead. Bottled.
393
00:16:45.100 --> 00:16:45.299
But.
394
00:16:48.240 --> 00:17:02.149
Poison. You... Killed yourself. Why? The shadow... Is... Touching you.
395
00:17:04.869 --> 00:17:08.990
Only a shadow. But....
396
00:17:10.160 --> 00:17:10.279
Is.
397
00:17:15.400 --> 00:17:15.779
Someone.
398
00:17:16.720 --> 00:17:31.309
Someone get me out of here. Get me out of here. There.
399
00:17:31.410 --> 00:17:33.710
There we are. You lie there, Mr.
400
00:17:33.750 --> 00:17:36.769
Kamari.
401
00:17:37.089 --> 00:17:40.950
Miss Wilkins. Miss Garth. And now you, Mr.
402
00:17:41.009 --> 00:17:41.390
Kamari.
403
00:17:42.890 --> 00:17:45.809
Now, all of you lie there and listen to me.
404
00:17:47.650 --> 00:17:50.670
It's getting quite dark. And while it's still light enough
405
00:17:50.710 --> 00:17:51.130
so that.
406
00:17:51.009 --> 00:17:54.720
I can see you, I... I want to talk to you.
407
00:17:54.730 --> 00:17:57.569
Dead as you are, I've got to find something out.
408
00:18:01.579 --> 00:18:08.259
Listen to the wind. Just come up. The wind.
409
00:18:08.500 --> 00:18:11.400
It moans around the rocks, but I'm not moaning.
410
00:18:12.079 --> 00:18:15.920
If you hear that, Miss Wilkins, I'm not. I'm just
411
00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:17.339
talking to you reasonably.
412
00:18:17.359 --> 00:18:23.259
It's been so many hours and yet you hear I'm
413
00:18:23.319 --> 00:18:29.990
talking reasonably. Please, please understand, my friend.
414
00:18:31.769 --> 00:18:33.109
I didn't mean for this to happen.
415
00:18:34.750 --> 00:18:37.250
I took you to Hidden Canyon to show you.
416
00:18:37.190 --> 00:18:41.640
The lichens and the glacial action on the raft. I
417
00:18:41.680 --> 00:18:45.339
didn't want you to die. And that's what I've got
418
00:18:45.359 --> 00:18:47.880
to talk to you about. Dead as you are.
419
00:18:48.900 --> 00:18:54.430
Why did you die? It was all quite accidental. Wasn't it,
420
00:18:54.450 --> 00:18:57.890
Miss Gard? Answer me, Miss Gard.
421
00:18:59.509 --> 00:19:01.690
The rocks that crushed you, all quite accidental.
422
00:19:01.869 --> 00:19:03.740
It wasn't because you had committed a murder, was it?
423
00:19:04.369 --> 00:19:09.059
All quite accidental. Wasn't it, Miss Gard? Wasn't it, Miss Gard?
424
00:19:09.079 --> 00:19:09.259
Miss Gard!
425
00:19:13.119 --> 00:19:18.490
How strangely my voice echoes between the rock walls. I
426
00:19:18.529 --> 00:19:22.390
will talk to you, Mr. Kamara. You climbed up the rocks.
427
00:19:22.789 --> 00:19:25.140
A cramp in your arm. You couldn't hold on any longer.
428
00:19:25.220 --> 00:19:27.220
You fell. That was all accidental, wasn't it?
429
00:19:28.799 --> 00:19:29.279
Wasn't it?
430
00:19:35.180 --> 00:19:38.650
There's no reason for me to shout like that. Is there?
431
00:19:42.220 --> 00:19:48.130
How quiet it is. And dark. For years, I've never
432
00:19:48.170 --> 00:19:48.829
been in the dark.
433
00:19:49.490 --> 00:19:49.809
At night.
434
00:19:50.220 --> 00:19:51.539
all the lights on in my house.
435
00:19:51.940 --> 00:19:53.500
I even sleep with the light on in the room.
436
00:19:54.000 --> 00:19:55.259
Never been in the dark for years.
437
00:19:59.700 --> 00:20:02.619
I'm in the dark at last. Alone.
438
00:20:02.720 --> 00:20:06.759
The three of you are dead.
439
00:20:06.779 --> 00:20:08.440
And so I.
440
00:20:10.180 --> 00:20:22.130
I'm alone. Oh, a bird. An hour. Yes, of course,
441
00:20:22.150 --> 00:20:29.309
an hour. Miss Wilkins, you shouldn't have taken that poison.
442
00:20:30.109 --> 00:20:32.519
You should have stayed alive to talk to me. As
443
00:20:33.670 --> 00:20:35.099
long as there's someone to talk to.
444
00:20:35.170 --> 00:20:38.960
When there's no one but the dead, that's a frightening thing.
445
00:20:39.779 --> 00:20:41.799
And I don't like the dark. And now I'm in
446
00:20:41.839 --> 00:20:50.650
the dark, alone. It's a frightening thing, yes. Oh. Your faces.
447
00:20:52.369 --> 00:20:59.750
Why do I see your faces? Oh. The moonlight. How
448
00:20:59.789 --> 00:21:01.390
quickly the moonlight in your face.
449
00:21:02.279 --> 00:21:05.769
Isn't it? I.
450
00:21:05.779 --> 00:21:08.579
I don't think I'm going to look at you. I'm
451
00:21:08.619 --> 00:21:09.839
going to sit here all through.
452
00:21:09.660 --> 00:21:12.920
The night, my eyes closed. Yes.
453
00:21:12.940 --> 00:21:13.019
Yes.
454
00:21:14.660 --> 00:21:15.259
I will.
455
00:21:17.059 --> 00:21:29.150
I will. How long have I had my eyes shut?
456
00:21:30.670 --> 00:21:31.079
All night?
457
00:21:32.940 --> 00:21:38.359
If there's light against my eyes, I know it.
458
00:21:39.559 --> 00:21:41.640
All right. I will open my eyes.
459
00:21:45.119 --> 00:21:45.599
Moonlight.
460
00:21:47.339 --> 00:21:50.680
So bright. Filling the canyon.
461
00:21:51.759 --> 00:21:52.240
The walls.
462
00:21:54.759 --> 00:22:01.690
So very bright. Shadow. Shadow on the wall.
463
00:22:02.750 --> 00:22:02.930
But.
464
00:22:05.049 --> 00:22:06.230
Moving along the wall.
465
00:22:08.410 --> 00:22:13.190
Shadow of what? Miss Wilkins. You said a shadow, Miss Wilkins.
466
00:22:13.490 --> 00:22:24.950
You... You're smiling. Mr. Cameron, you too. Yes, God. All
467
00:22:24.990 --> 00:22:33.509
of you smiling. Is it the moonlight or are you
468
00:22:33.569 --> 00:22:38.339
really smiling? Why are you smiling?
469
00:22:39.440 --> 00:22:39.759
Why?
470
00:22:43.359 --> 00:22:48.000
All right. I know. You know.
471
00:22:50.339 --> 00:22:50.720
All right.
472
00:22:52.799 --> 00:22:57.210
My eyes are open. And when the shadow touches me.
473
00:22:57.230 --> 00:22:59.809
When the shadow touches me.
474
00:22:59.829 --> 00:22:59.930
Who?
475
00:22:59.950 --> 00:23:00.049
Who?
476
00:23:00.089 --> 00:23:00.210
Who?
477
00:23:00.269 --> 00:23:07.359
Who's there? Must have gone down here.
478
00:23:08.140 --> 00:23:08.380
Lights.
479
00:23:09.779 --> 00:23:09.980
People.
480
00:23:10.099 --> 00:23:10.940
Anyone down there?
481
00:23:11.640 --> 00:23:12.500
Anyone down there?
482
00:23:12.539 --> 00:23:12.720
Anyone?
483
00:23:13.380 --> 00:23:13.759
Anyone?
484
00:23:17.230 --> 00:23:17.470
Mr.
485
00:23:17.490 --> 00:23:20.980
Commandant, who killed his brother. Miss Goddard, who killed her husband.
486
00:23:21.480 --> 00:23:22.430
Miss Wilkins, who killed him.
487
00:23:23.420 --> 00:23:23.680
Yes.
488
00:23:24.480 --> 00:23:27.099
If I'm down here, come and get me.
489
00:23:28.039 --> 00:23:29.960
I've waited for you for 15 years.
490
00:23:30.779 --> 00:23:31.839
I murdered my wife.
491
00:23:32.680 --> 00:23:33.500
Do you hear me?
492
00:23:34.220 --> 00:23:35.359
I murdered my wife!
493
00:23:35.680 --> 00:23:36.279
This is Mr.
494
00:23:36.500 --> 00:23:37.019
Owens, Moore.
495
00:23:44.960 --> 00:23:46.829
To those of you who have asked the title of
496
00:23:46.869 --> 00:23:52.009
my new book, it's called House on Fire. Next week,
497
00:23:52.750 --> 00:23:54.849
a play with a cast known to all you buffs
498
00:23:54.910 --> 00:23:58.289
of the golden days of radio. Frank Lovejoy and Paul
499
00:23:58.329 --> 00:24:02.490
Stewart in No Escape. A story to be listened to
500
00:24:02.509 --> 00:24:04.150
in the dark.
501
00:24:04.170 --> 00:24:05.069
It is.
502
00:24:16.269 --> 00:24:31.589
Then you think.
503
00:24:32.869 --> 00:24:36.150
That was Lights Out, Nature Study from the CBS series
504
00:24:36.190 --> 00:24:40.210
of 1943. Follow Lights Out for more classic broadcasts.
1
00:00:00.170 --> 00:00:03.410
Four tourists on a scenic canyon excursion are cut off
2
00:00:03.450 --> 00:00:06.320
when a rock slide seals them in among fallen boulders.
3
00:00:06.889 --> 00:00:09.699
With steep canyon walls around them and their route blocked,
4
00:00:10.060 --> 00:00:14.019
the group is forced to confront fear, guilt, and personal secrets.
5
00:00:14.980 --> 00:00:19.780
This is Lights Out, Nature Study, Episode 38, written by
6
00:00:19.940 --> 00:00:23.579
Arch Obler for the CBS revival of the series and
7
00:00:23.640 --> 00:00:26.370
originally broadcast June 22, 1943, with Ironized Yeast as sponsor.
8
00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:33.759
Kathy Lewis and Mary Jane Croft were heard in its
9
00:00:33.820 --> 00:00:39.679
later syndicated rebroadcast as part of The Devil and Mr. O. Now,
10
00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:41.920
back to the golden age of radio.
11
00:00:45.659 --> 00:00:51.259
Lights out for The Devil and Mr. O.
12
00:00:51.299 --> 00:00:54.070
The Devil and Mr. O.
13
00:01:01.579 --> 00:01:20.010
Is later than you think. Turn out your light now.
14
00:01:21.790 --> 00:01:27.969
We bring you stories of the supernatural and the supernormal, dramatizing.
15
00:01:27.109 --> 00:01:28.750
The fantasies and the mysteries.
16
00:01:30.489 --> 00:01:32.670
We tell you this frankly so that if you wish
17
00:01:32.689 --> 00:01:37.099
to avoid the excitement and tension of these imaginative plays,
18
00:01:37.180 --> 00:01:40.319
we urge you calmly but sincerely to turn off your
19
00:01:40.379 --> 00:01:48.319
radio now. This is Mr. O, Arch Overland. Nature Study
20
00:01:48.340 --> 00:01:50.680
is the title of our story, Nature Study. That's a
21
00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:54.739
charming pastime, the wonders of nature and all its infinite variety.
22
00:01:55.629 --> 00:01:58.659
But the most varied and fantastic subject of all, I think,
23
00:01:59.109 --> 00:02:02.379
is the nature of man and woman, the saint in them.
24
00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:03.099
The devil in them.
25
00:02:06.739 --> 00:02:11.219
And now, if you haven't already done so, turn off
26
00:02:11.259 --> 00:02:14.199
your lights for a nature study.
27
00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:21.900
Yes. There we are.
28
00:02:22.250 --> 00:02:23.349
There we are where?
29
00:02:23.449 --> 00:02:24.110
Look about you.
30
00:02:24.349 --> 00:02:26.889
Oh, my goodness, it is beautiful, isn't it?
31
00:02:27.009 --> 00:02:28.669
I did not know this was where we were going.
32
00:02:28.689 --> 00:02:30.110
It's like a canyon, isn't it?
33
00:02:30.169 --> 00:02:32.409
It is a canyon. A cleft in the rocks, few
34
00:02:32.449 --> 00:02:33.930
people in this part of the country know.
35
00:02:33.969 --> 00:02:36.030
Well, I'm sitting down to rest my poor body.
36
00:02:36.129 --> 00:02:37.300
Oh, no, no, no, no.
37
00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:39.900
No, Miss God, we must go on. Oh, no. Where
38
00:02:40.060 --> 00:02:42.000
are we going? Come now, come.
39
00:02:42.379 --> 00:02:44.639
On all our other Sunday nature study trips, I've never
40
00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:45.400
had such rebellion.
41
00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:47.080
Because we've never walked so far before.
42
00:02:47.099 --> 00:02:49.120
That's right. Where is it you are taking us today, Mr.
43
00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:49.360
Arnold?
44
00:02:49.400 --> 00:02:49.979
To Canada?
45
00:02:50.780 --> 00:02:54.099
My dear friends and neighbors, we're exactly 15 miles from home.
46
00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:55.800
You could think we're out of this world.
47
00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:56.219
Yes.
48
00:02:56.560 --> 00:02:58.460
Even in the midst of the city's turmoil, one can
49
00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:01.759
find nature's true isolation. Well, where do we go from here?
50
00:03:02.199 --> 00:03:04.710
There's a little path down through the canyon. There we
51
00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:06.280
will find lightings of many varieties.
52
00:03:06.310 --> 00:03:06.689
Oh, my goodness.
53
00:03:07.379 --> 00:03:08.379
I know, I know.
54
00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:12.409
They are like little ferns in the rock. Excellent, Mr. Kamalin, excellent.
55
00:03:12.469 --> 00:03:13.889
Oh, I remember from last week.
56
00:03:14.030 --> 00:03:15.990
You will not see scratches on the face of the rock.
57
00:03:16.030 --> 00:03:21.379
Who did it? Not who. What? The glacier. What's the matter,
58
00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:23.860
Miss Garland? You seem displeased.
59
00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:25.900
All I want to say is this. Do you mean
60
00:03:25.939 --> 00:03:28.000
to say we came all this way by subway and
61
00:03:28.060 --> 00:03:30.939
streetcar and bus just to see some old rock scratches?
62
00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:33.219
Well, there isn't any place in the state that has
63
00:03:33.300 --> 00:03:35.300
a finer record of glacial action.
64
00:03:35.479 --> 00:03:37.300
How do you like that? I thought I was going
65
00:03:37.319 --> 00:03:40.080
to see flowers and then just scratches and rocks.
66
00:03:40.219 --> 00:03:42.360
Well, Miss Gardner, Mr. Arnold, he's a smart man. He
67
00:03:42.379 --> 00:03:42.659
knows that.
68
00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:44.439
Well, then maybe he knows I want to go home.
69
00:03:44.460 --> 00:03:46.900
I see you're tired. This is all there is to see.
70
00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:49.879
I'm starting back now. Oh, come on, Miss Wilkins.
71
00:03:49.900 --> 00:03:51.819
Let's get out of here. Find some real excitement.
72
00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:51.889
Oh.
73
00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:53.469
Oh, no.
74
00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:54.009
After all, Mr.
75
00:03:54.090 --> 00:03:55.300
Arnold took all the time and.
76
00:03:55.340 --> 00:03:56.500
What's that?
77
00:03:56.580 --> 00:03:57.479
Something up there.
78
00:03:57.539 --> 00:03:58.219
The rocks.
79
00:03:58.259 --> 00:03:58.740
Look out.
80
00:03:58.780 --> 00:04:00.400
Miss Wilkins.
81
00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:04.240
Miss Wilkins. She passed out, I think.
82
00:04:04.259 --> 00:04:04.330
You.
83
00:04:13.889 --> 00:04:14.770
You all right? Yeah.
84
00:04:15.090 --> 00:04:15.889
Yeah, fine.
85
00:04:16.269 --> 00:04:19.480
Oh, see? She's all right. Miss Wilkins, are you hurt?
86
00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:20.379
Are you hurt?
87
00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:22.600
Oh, sure, sure.
88
00:04:22.860 --> 00:04:25.839
Just fainted. And no wonder all those rocks falling down.
89
00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:30.569
Miracle we weren't hurt. You all right, Mr. Kamara? Oh, sure, sure.
90
00:04:30.730 --> 00:04:34.810
We all all right. Nobody hurt. Miss Wilkins, what's the matter?
91
00:04:35.230 --> 00:04:36.750
Under that rock.
92
00:04:36.829 --> 00:04:37.069
Legs.
93
00:04:38.110 --> 00:04:41.670
Who? Miss God. The rocks.
94
00:04:41.750 --> 00:04:42.149
Get them off.
95
00:04:42.189 --> 00:04:42.769
Get her out.
96
00:04:42.790 --> 00:04:43.689
Get the rocks off me.
97
00:04:43.709 --> 00:04:44.410
Get her out.
98
00:04:44.470 --> 00:04:45.350
No, no, Miss Wilkins.
99
00:04:45.370 --> 00:04:45.829
Get her out.
100
00:04:45.850 --> 00:04:47.050
You can't stay back.
101
00:04:47.089 --> 00:04:49.170
You'll get her out. Yeah, we'll do it.
102
00:04:49.209 --> 00:04:49.990
We'll do it.
103
00:04:50.009 --> 00:04:50.379
Come on.
104
00:04:50.389 --> 00:04:50.730
Come on.
105
00:04:50.769 --> 00:04:51.050
Hurry.
106
00:04:51.089 --> 00:04:51.569
Hurry.
107
00:04:51.670 --> 00:04:51.970
Hurry.
108
00:04:52.189 --> 00:04:54.269
I'm the other one now. Come on.
109
00:04:54.370 --> 00:04:55.189
Now, a little more.
110
00:04:55.230 --> 00:04:55.670
There.
111
00:04:55.750 --> 00:04:56.709
One more rock.
112
00:04:56.850 --> 00:04:57.370
One more rock.
113
00:04:57.389 --> 00:04:58.410
You hear that, Miss Wilkins?
114
00:04:58.490 --> 00:04:59.009
One more rock.
115
00:04:59.110 --> 00:04:59.829
She's dead.
116
00:04:59.949 --> 00:05:00.920
I know she's dead.
117
00:05:00.939 --> 00:05:01.240
Can't move.
118
00:05:01.250 --> 00:05:02.860
Lift more, Miss Serrano.
119
00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:03.040
Lift.
120
00:05:03.060 --> 00:05:03.300
Lift. Oh.
121
00:05:03.379 --> 00:05:03.459
Oh.
122
00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:11.569
Oh, Miss Gard.
123
00:05:12.009 --> 00:05:12.310
No, no.
124
00:05:12.350 --> 00:05:13.509
Wait, wait.
125
00:05:13.569 --> 00:05:18.149
Look. Miss Wilkins, be quiet. Miss Gard, she's still alive. Alive?
126
00:05:19.170 --> 00:05:24.610
But how can... Shh, shh, shh. She's trying to talk. Yes,
127
00:05:24.649 --> 00:05:31.189
Miss Gard. I'm here. I'm listening. Yes, what is it?
128
00:05:31.350 --> 00:05:34.949
I don't know. I'm sorry. I can't understand you, Miss Gard.
129
00:05:35.550 --> 00:05:37.430
What are you trying to tell us? Yes, yes. What,
130
00:05:37.470 --> 00:05:39.019
Miss Gard? What? I.
131
00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:46.790
I can't die without telling you.
132
00:05:46.810 --> 00:05:50.310
Telling you what?
133
00:05:50.430 --> 00:05:56.790
My husband didn't die hard to save.
134
00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:08.399
I killed him. Poison. I killed him. Please.
135
00:06:13.810 --> 00:06:28.699
The guard!
136
00:06:28.740 --> 00:06:28.899
She.
137
00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:32.480
She's dead.
138
00:06:32.980 --> 00:06:34.399
You feel better now, Miss Wilkins?
139
00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:36.430
I'm all right.
140
00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:38.449
Oh, don't try to get up. Just rest.
141
00:06:38.730 --> 00:06:38.970
Rest.
142
00:06:39.889 --> 00:06:41.740
A few minutes more or less won't make any difference.
143
00:06:42.620 --> 00:06:42.879
No.
144
00:06:44.540 --> 00:06:44.959
Mr.
145
00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:46.240
Arnold.
146
00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:47.199
Yes, Mr.
147
00:06:47.220 --> 00:06:50.220
Kamara. I have been sitting here.
148
00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:54.350
I have been trying to figure.
149
00:06:54.110 --> 00:06:58.410
It out in my head. Why is it? Well, there
150
00:06:58.449 --> 00:06:59.730
must have been a fissure in the rocks.
151
00:07:00.050 --> 00:07:02.509
The action of frost and rain loosened them and perhaps
152
00:07:02.529 --> 00:07:03.709
the vibration of our.
153
00:07:03.730 --> 00:07:09.120
No, no, I'm... I'm thinking why should it... Hurt her,
154
00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:10.680
not us.
155
00:07:10.740 --> 00:07:12.399
Well, I guess that's what you'd call Kate.
156
00:07:12.730 --> 00:07:14.589
Do you think.
157
00:07:14.829 --> 00:07:15.629
Did she.
158
00:07:17.490 --> 00:07:21.470
Really kill her husband like you said?
159
00:07:21.889 --> 00:07:22.889
Well, I don't know.
160
00:07:23.829 --> 00:07:26.170
I don't know anything about her except she was a neighbor.
161
00:07:26.209 --> 00:07:28.689
Yes. And she lived in our building for a whole
162
00:07:28.709 --> 00:07:31.019
year already. I really don't know about her.
163
00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:31.620
I know.
164
00:07:32.939 --> 00:07:33.720
You, Miss Worthy?
165
00:07:34.160 --> 00:07:34.740
Tell us, please.
166
00:07:36.430 --> 00:07:37.689
She used to sing in nightclubs.
167
00:07:38.009 --> 00:07:38.610
Oh, really?
168
00:07:39.170 --> 00:07:40.810
One morning she wasn't feeling good. She came down to
169
00:07:40.829 --> 00:07:41.370
my apartment.
170
00:07:41.410 --> 00:07:42.509
I guess she felt like talking.
171
00:07:42.889 --> 00:07:44.490
She told me she used to work in this nightclub.
172
00:07:44.550 --> 00:07:46.470
And then she married this rich fellow, lots of older than.
173
00:07:46.329 --> 00:07:47.990
She was, lots of money. And she married him.
174
00:07:48.009 --> 00:07:49.750
And she didn't like him very much.
175
00:07:49.829 --> 00:07:51.920
And all of a sudden he died.
176
00:07:52.839 --> 00:07:52.959
Oh.
177
00:07:53.420 --> 00:07:56.980
Did she tell you that there was anything unusual about
178
00:07:57.019 --> 00:07:57.459
his death?
179
00:07:57.699 --> 00:07:57.939
No.
180
00:07:58.579 --> 00:08:00.339
She just said all of a sudden he died.
181
00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:01.879
Like poison?
182
00:08:03.220 --> 00:08:04.439
What are we sitting here for?
183
00:08:04.459 --> 00:08:05.480
Let's get out of here quick.
184
00:08:05.500 --> 00:08:06.399
Let's get out of here.
185
00:08:06.439 --> 00:08:08.600
Yes, Mr. Arno, why do you sit there? Lead us
186
00:08:08.620 --> 00:08:10.079
the way out. Mr.
187
00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:11.720
Arno, what's the matter with you? Why do you sit
188
00:08:11.740 --> 00:08:13.519
there looking at us? I.
189
00:08:15.009 --> 00:08:16.449
I didn't want to say anything before.
190
00:08:16.470 --> 00:08:18.189
Say what?
191
00:08:18.689 --> 00:08:21.550
Say what? I went over there, the only way out
192
00:08:21.589 --> 00:08:25.129
of the canyon. The rocks have blocked it off. I'm
193
00:08:25.149 --> 00:08:26.439
very much afraid we can't get out.
194
00:08:34.210 --> 00:08:35.350
It's no use talking to me, Mr.
195
00:08:35.409 --> 00:08:35.570
Arno.
196
00:08:35.610 --> 00:08:36.720
But it's so dangerous.
197
00:08:36.750 --> 00:08:37.220
Dangerous?
198
00:08:37.269 --> 00:08:40.000
What is dangerous? I climb up the rocks. I'm like stairs.
199
00:08:40.200 --> 00:08:41.860
I pull up over the top and I'm off. Oh,
200
00:08:41.899 --> 00:08:43.299
but I insist it's dangerous.
201
00:08:43.340 --> 00:08:45.799
That tumble of rocks. Miss Wilkins, am I not right?
202
00:08:45.960 --> 00:08:48.159
Well, we just can't wait in here forever and I'm
203
00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:49.700
sure that Mr. Kamara knows what he's doing.
204
00:08:49.720 --> 00:08:50.840
That is a very smart girl.
205
00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:51.720
Look at that wall.
206
00:08:51.759 --> 00:08:53.659
It is nothing. Oh, but I... Oh, you don't worry, Mr.
207
00:08:53.720 --> 00:08:53.899
Arno.
208
00:08:53.940 --> 00:08:56.019
I told you the rocks along here like steps.
209
00:08:56.340 --> 00:08:58.000
I climb up and I go and get help and
210
00:08:58.019 --> 00:08:59.299
soon I have you out of here. All you do
211
00:08:59.340 --> 00:09:01.860
is to help me up that first rock. Well, all
212
00:09:01.899 --> 00:09:02.779
right if you insist.
213
00:09:02.820 --> 00:09:03.460
Sure, sure.
214
00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:06.159
Put your Put your hands together on a grip. Like that.
215
00:09:06.200 --> 00:09:08.220
That is right. I put my foot in your hand
216
00:09:08.279 --> 00:09:09.879
and you push up and give a boost, right? Yes.
217
00:09:10.299 --> 00:09:11.759
All right. Put your hands down.
218
00:09:12.159 --> 00:09:13.019
I get my foot.
219
00:09:14.399 --> 00:09:16.210
Now, lift.
220
00:09:17.509 --> 00:09:19.009
I am up.
221
00:09:19.629 --> 00:09:21.350
Well, I'm up here already. The rest of the way
222
00:09:21.370 --> 00:09:24.090
to climb is easy. What did I tell you? Be careful, Mr.
223
00:09:24.110 --> 00:09:24.490
Cameron.
224
00:09:24.549 --> 00:09:28.929
Here I go. He is very strong, isn't he?
225
00:09:28.950 --> 00:09:29.970
What did you say, Miss Wilkinson?
226
00:09:30.669 --> 00:09:32.470
He is very strong, isn't he?
227
00:09:32.909 --> 00:09:35.590
Oh, yes, he is. Careful of loose rocks, Mr.
228
00:09:35.610 --> 00:09:36.029
Kamaran.
229
00:09:36.129 --> 00:09:36.769
I am all right.
230
00:09:36.950 --> 00:09:39.049
Test every handhold. Those rocks are loose.
231
00:09:39.070 --> 00:09:39.870
You get us out of here.
232
00:09:39.909 --> 00:09:41.340
I know you will. Yes, yes, you will.
233
00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:42.100
He.
234
00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:44.399
He's up so high.
235
00:09:44.580 --> 00:09:48.720
Oh, yes. I... I just can't watch anymore. Well, he...
236
00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:51.720
He only has a few more feet to go, and
237
00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:55.779
he'll be over the edge. You're doing very well, Mr.
238
00:09:55.799 --> 00:09:57.519
Kamaran. Sure, I told you.
239
00:09:57.759 --> 00:09:59.269
You know Kamaran, he always goes.
240
00:10:00.659 --> 00:10:00.879
Mr.
241
00:10:00.899 --> 00:10:01.460
Camarron, what?
242
00:10:01.639 --> 00:10:02.259
What's the matter with him?
243
00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:04.490
I don't know. He suddenly stopped talking.
244
00:10:04.509 --> 00:10:05.889
He isn't moving. Mr.
245
00:10:05.909 --> 00:10:08.929
Camarron, what is the matter? Mr.
246
00:10:08.970 --> 00:10:11.730
Camarron. My arm.
247
00:10:12.970 --> 00:10:14.909
Come on.
248
00:10:14.929 --> 00:10:18.730
I can't hold. Cramping his arm. Hold on, Mr.
249
00:10:18.750 --> 00:10:19.129
Kamaran.
250
00:10:19.269 --> 00:10:20.370
I'll try to get up to you.
251
00:10:20.669 --> 00:10:21.429
Don't let go.
252
00:10:21.809 --> 00:10:22.230
I'll try to.
253
00:10:22.230 --> 00:10:24.669
Let go!
254
00:10:29.460 --> 00:10:30.799
Mr. Kamaran.
255
00:10:33.139 --> 00:10:33.379
Mr.
256
00:10:33.419 --> 00:10:33.899
Kamaran.
257
00:10:34.919 --> 00:10:37.500
Dad.
258
00:10:38.720 --> 00:10:41.090
No, no, I don't think so. He lifted up his head.
259
00:10:42.490 --> 00:10:56.929
Mr. Kamaran, what... Couldn't hold on. Listen. I don't tell you.
260
00:10:57.549 --> 00:10:58.269
I'm listening.
261
00:10:58.470 --> 00:11:01.330
My war.
262
00:11:02.809 --> 00:11:05.970
Broke. We'll be dead.
263
00:11:06.990 --> 00:11:07.929
We'll be.
264
00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:13.440
Dead. Can't die without telling. When I was a boy,
265
00:11:22.009 --> 00:11:32.899
One hunting with my brother. He never came back. They
266
00:11:32.940 --> 00:11:41.580
thought he had run away. Not true. I wanted his knife.
267
00:11:41.730 --> 00:11:42.679
I wanted his knife.
268
00:11:49.940 --> 00:11:50.840
Mary, you.
269
00:11:52.879 --> 00:12:00.669
I killed my brother.
270
00:12:09.620 --> 00:12:19.389
Miss Wilkins, where are you? Miss Wilkins, are you hiding?
271
00:12:19.409 --> 00:12:22.289
Miss Wilkins, you shouldn't have run away like that.
272
00:12:22.309 --> 00:12:22.889
You shouldn't.
273
00:12:23.419 --> 00:12:24.860
We'll work something out together.
274
00:12:25.120 --> 00:12:30.769
We'll get out of here. Oh, there you are. Why
275
00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:34.159
did you hide back here? Nothing's going to hurt you. Nothing.
276
00:12:34.379 --> 00:12:35.740
You're wrong.
277
00:12:35.779 --> 00:12:36.340
You're wrong.
278
00:12:36.360 --> 00:12:38.019
What? I'll never get out.
279
00:12:38.120 --> 00:12:39.179
Never, never, never.
280
00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:42.200
But why should you say that? This canyon is well known.
281
00:12:42.279 --> 00:12:45.159
Sooner or later, every moment, someone will come along and
282
00:12:45.200 --> 00:12:45.919
see us down here.
283
00:12:45.960 --> 00:12:47.299
No, never, never, never.
284
00:12:47.500 --> 00:12:49.820
Now, that's no way to talk, Miss Wilkins.
285
00:12:50.019 --> 00:12:51.279
They are dead, aren't they?
286
00:12:51.960 --> 00:12:52.580
Aren't they?
287
00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:53.820
Don't think of them.
288
00:12:53.840 --> 00:12:54.879
I've got to think of them.
289
00:12:54.919 --> 00:12:55.460
They're me.
290
00:12:55.480 --> 00:12:55.779
Me.
291
00:12:55.820 --> 00:12:57.559
What are you talking about?
292
00:12:58.230 --> 00:12:59.950
You think I haven't got a brain in my head.
293
00:13:00.129 --> 00:13:01.590
You think I don't know what I'm talking about.
294
00:13:01.610 --> 00:13:02.190
Well, I do.
295
00:13:02.289 --> 00:13:04.629
I always do. I let everybody think I'm a fool,
296
00:13:04.649 --> 00:13:06.610
but I know more than you or anyone. And I
297
00:13:06.649 --> 00:13:07.549
know why they died.
298
00:13:07.629 --> 00:13:09.309
I know. Miss Wilkins, I don't know.
299
00:13:09.330 --> 00:13:09.830
I'm telling you.
300
00:13:09.870 --> 00:13:10.330
Listen to me.
301
00:13:10.389 --> 00:13:12.049
I'm telling you. I know why they died.
302
00:13:12.070 --> 00:13:12.649
Yes, of course.
303
00:13:12.720 --> 00:13:13.169
It was actually.
304
00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:14.159
Will you listen to me?
305
00:13:14.799 --> 00:13:15.299
All right.
306
00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:18.559
Miss Gard died. And she committed a murder.
307
00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:19.620
Yes. And Mr.
308
00:13:19.659 --> 00:13:22.059
Kamarin died. And he committed a murder.
309
00:13:22.179 --> 00:13:22.559
Well?
310
00:13:23.080 --> 00:13:25.480
That's why I won't get out of here alive. I
311
00:13:25.500 --> 00:13:26.919
committed a murder, too.
312
00:13:27.730 --> 00:13:29.809
I committed a murder, too.
313
00:13:31.750 --> 00:13:38.870
That's... That's unbelievable. Oh, you're just saying things hysterically.
314
00:13:38.889 --> 00:13:40.669
No, no, not true.
315
00:13:40.850 --> 00:13:43.000
But you, where, how?
316
00:13:43.580 --> 00:13:44.159
Married.
317
00:13:44.600 --> 00:13:46.740
All I wanted to do was get married.
318
00:13:46.759 --> 00:13:46.840
What?
319
00:13:47.039 --> 00:13:47.200
What?
320
00:13:48.610 --> 00:13:50.490
Mary Jane Ellis, we'd gone to school together.
321
00:13:50.509 --> 00:13:51.610
The same room in Connie's.
322
00:13:51.649 --> 00:13:52.690
The same room when we came.
323
00:13:52.549 --> 00:13:53.289
Here to go to work.
324
00:13:53.649 --> 00:13:54.330
Always together.
325
00:13:55.100 --> 00:13:56.509
My best friend, everyone.
326
00:13:56.169 --> 00:13:57.700
Said my best friend, that's old Joe.
327
00:13:58.429 --> 00:13:59.980
I met him first and then she met him. She
328
00:14:00.019 --> 00:14:01.679
said she didn't like him, but I knew she did.
329
00:14:01.720 --> 00:14:02.200
She did.
330
00:14:02.659 --> 00:14:04.360
At the party, I came into the room. His arms
331
00:14:04.399 --> 00:14:06.019
had been around her. I knew they had.
332
00:14:06.059 --> 00:14:07.759
He couldn't fool me. She couldn't fool me.
333
00:14:08.200 --> 00:14:09.779
It was her fault, not his.
334
00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:10.799
My best friend.
335
00:14:11.320 --> 00:14:13.299
Joe was for me, not for her. He was thinking
336
00:14:13.340 --> 00:14:13.620
about her.
337
00:14:13.639 --> 00:14:16.120
He kept on thinking about her. Pretty all right, she
338
00:14:16.139 --> 00:14:17.399
was pretty, but he was for me.
339
00:14:17.480 --> 00:14:20.399
For me. The night I lied there thinking that she
340
00:14:20.419 --> 00:14:20.879
was dead.
341
00:14:21.419 --> 00:14:22.080
She was dead.
342
00:14:22.419 --> 00:14:23.580
She had to be dead.
343
00:14:23.600 --> 00:14:26.690
She had to be dead.
344
00:14:26.990 --> 00:14:34.129
Miss Wilkins, for five years, I've known you for five years.
345
00:14:34.149 --> 00:14:35.610
What you're saying isn't true.
346
00:14:36.149 --> 00:14:40.269
I know it isn't. Your mind, all that happened, you
347
00:14:40.320 --> 00:14:40.919
couldn't really.
348
00:14:40.960 --> 00:14:42.059
Shut up, Blanche!
349
00:14:42.139 --> 00:14:44.019
Shut up!
350
00:14:44.860 --> 00:14:48.409
All right, Miss Wilkins. You listen to me.
351
00:14:50.210 --> 00:14:50.779
I killed her.
352
00:14:52.090 --> 00:14:53.629
I killed her with poison.
353
00:14:54.529 --> 00:14:57.509
And I'm going to die the way they did. And
354
00:14:57.529 --> 00:14:59.309
there's nothing anyone can do about it.
355
00:14:59.330 --> 00:15:00.409
You're out of your mind.
356
00:15:00.590 --> 00:15:02.509
Now I know exactly what I'm saying and doing. Do
357
00:15:05.179 --> 00:15:08.240
you know how long I've waited for this moment, Mr.
358
00:15:08.340 --> 00:15:08.659
Arno?
359
00:15:10.080 --> 00:15:10.720
Five years.
360
00:15:11.940 --> 00:15:17.090
Five years. Every night for five years. Every time I
361
00:15:17.129 --> 00:15:20.429
was alone in the dark, I've been waiting for this moment.
362
00:15:22.820 --> 00:15:24.480
I don't have to wait anymore.
363
00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:30.480
Why not? Because it's here. Who?
364
00:15:30.759 --> 00:15:32.039
It's here in the canyon.
365
00:15:33.039 --> 00:15:36.860
Waiting. Waiting to kill me. There's no one here but
366
00:15:36.879 --> 00:15:37.500
you and me.
367
00:15:37.559 --> 00:15:39.139
They knew, and now I know.
368
00:15:39.159 --> 00:15:41.470
Well, I tell you there's no one in this canyon
369
00:15:41.509 --> 00:15:42.070
but the two of us.
370
00:15:43.110 --> 00:15:43.950
And their bodies.
371
00:15:45.269 --> 00:15:45.389
What?
372
00:15:47.990 --> 00:15:48.909
What's over there?
373
00:15:50.970 --> 00:15:54.480
Oh, nothing but the shadow of a rock on the
374
00:15:54.500 --> 00:15:57.700
canyon wall. Not a shadow, Mr.
375
00:15:57.799 --> 00:15:58.120
Arno.
376
00:15:58.539 --> 00:15:59.600
What are you talking about?
377
00:16:00.779 --> 00:16:01.980
Not a shadow, Mr.
378
00:16:02.120 --> 00:16:02.480
Arno.
379
00:16:02.840 --> 00:16:04.960
I see it plainly. It is a shadow.
380
00:16:05.559 --> 00:16:07.139
Not a shadow, Mr. Arno.
381
00:16:07.159 --> 00:16:12.389
Why do you keep The sun is getting lower in
382
00:16:12.429 --> 00:16:12.909
the sky.
383
00:16:12.929 --> 00:16:14.409
If it touches me, I'll die.
384
00:16:14.450 --> 00:16:15.009
Don't say that.
385
00:16:15.309 --> 00:16:16.330
The way they die.
386
00:16:16.350 --> 00:16:17.269
Stop talking nonsense.
387
00:16:17.909 --> 00:16:22.129
Get you out of here. Someone will come along. Up there.
388
00:16:23.029 --> 00:16:24.179
Is there anyone up there?
389
00:16:24.919 --> 00:16:26.179
We're down in the canyon.
390
00:16:26.940 --> 00:16:27.879
Get us out of here.
391
00:16:27.899 --> 00:16:32.639
Now, you just sit there and relax until summer.
392
00:16:35.429 --> 00:16:43.580
Miss Wilkins. Miss Wilkins. Dead. Bottled.
393
00:16:45.100 --> 00:16:45.299
But.
394
00:16:48.240 --> 00:17:02.149
Poison. You... Killed yourself. Why? The shadow... Is... Touching you.
395
00:17:04.869 --> 00:17:08.990
Only a shadow. But....
396
00:17:10.160 --> 00:17:10.279
Is.
397
00:17:15.400 --> 00:17:15.779
Someone.
398
00:17:16.720 --> 00:17:31.309
Someone get me out of here. Get me out of here. There.
399
00:17:31.410 --> 00:17:33.710
There we are. You lie there, Mr.
400
00:17:33.750 --> 00:17:36.769
Kamari.
401
00:17:37.089 --> 00:17:40.950
Miss Wilkins. Miss Garth. And now you, Mr.
402
00:17:41.009 --> 00:17:41.390
Kamari.
403
00:17:42.890 --> 00:17:45.809
Now, all of you lie there and listen to me.
404
00:17:47.650 --> 00:17:50.670
It's getting quite dark. And while it's still light enough
405
00:17:50.710 --> 00:17:51.130
so that.
406
00:17:51.009 --> 00:17:54.720
I can see you, I... I want to talk to you.
407
00:17:54.730 --> 00:17:57.569
Dead as you are, I've got to find something out.
408
00:18:01.579 --> 00:18:08.259
Listen to the wind. Just come up. The wind.
409
00:18:08.500 --> 00:18:11.400
It moans around the rocks, but I'm not moaning.
410
00:18:12.079 --> 00:18:15.920
If you hear that, Miss Wilkins, I'm not. I'm just
411
00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:17.339
talking to you reasonably.
412
00:18:17.359 --> 00:18:23.259
It's been so many hours and yet you hear I'm
413
00:18:23.319 --> 00:18:29.990
talking reasonably. Please, please understand, my friend.
414
00:18:31.769 --> 00:18:33.109
I didn't mean for this to happen.
415
00:18:34.750 --> 00:18:37.250
I took you to Hidden Canyon to show you.
416
00:18:37.190 --> 00:18:41.640
The lichens and the glacial action on the raft. I
417
00:18:41.680 --> 00:18:45.339
didn't want you to die. And that's what I've got
418
00:18:45.359 --> 00:18:47.880
to talk to you about. Dead as you are.
419
00:18:48.900 --> 00:18:54.430
Why did you die? It was all quite accidental. Wasn't it,
420
00:18:54.450 --> 00:18:57.890
Miss Gard? Answer me, Miss Gard.
421
00:18:59.509 --> 00:19:01.690
The rocks that crushed you, all quite accidental.
422
00:19:01.869 --> 00:19:03.740
It wasn't because you had committed a murder, was it?
423
00:19:04.369 --> 00:19:09.059
All quite accidental. Wasn't it, Miss Gard? Wasn't it, Miss Gard?
424
00:19:09.079 --> 00:19:09.259
Miss Gard!
425
00:19:13.119 --> 00:19:18.490
How strangely my voice echoes between the rock walls. I
426
00:19:18.529 --> 00:19:22.390
will talk to you, Mr. Kamara. You climbed up the rocks.
427
00:19:22.789 --> 00:19:25.140
A cramp in your arm. You couldn't hold on any longer.
428
00:19:25.220 --> 00:19:27.220
You fell. That was all accidental, wasn't it?
429
00:19:28.799 --> 00:19:29.279
Wasn't it?
430
00:19:35.180 --> 00:19:38.650
There's no reason for me to shout like that. Is there?
431
00:19:42.220 --> 00:19:48.130
How quiet it is. And dark. For years, I've never
432
00:19:48.170 --> 00:19:48.829
been in the dark.
433
00:19:49.490 --> 00:19:49.809
At night.
434
00:19:50.220 --> 00:19:51.539
all the lights on in my house.
435
00:19:51.940 --> 00:19:53.500
I even sleep with the light on in the room.
436
00:19:54.000 --> 00:19:55.259
Never been in the dark for years.
437
00:19:59.700 --> 00:20:02.619
I'm in the dark at last. Alone.
438
00:20:02.720 --> 00:20:06.759
The three of you are dead.
439
00:20:06.779 --> 00:20:08.440
And so I.
440
00:20:10.180 --> 00:20:22.130
I'm alone. Oh, a bird. An hour. Yes, of course,
441
00:20:22.150 --> 00:20:29.309
an hour. Miss Wilkins, you shouldn't have taken that poison.
442
00:20:30.109 --> 00:20:32.519
You should have stayed alive to talk to me. As
443
00:20:33.670 --> 00:20:35.099
long as there's someone to talk to.
444
00:20:35.170 --> 00:20:38.960
When there's no one but the dead, that's a frightening thing.
445
00:20:39.779 --> 00:20:41.799
And I don't like the dark. And now I'm in
446
00:20:41.839 --> 00:20:50.650
the dark, alone. It's a frightening thing, yes. Oh. Your faces.
447
00:20:52.369 --> 00:20:59.750
Why do I see your faces? Oh. The moonlight. How
448
00:20:59.789 --> 00:21:01.390
quickly the moonlight in your face.
449
00:21:02.279 --> 00:21:05.769
Isn't it? I.
450
00:21:05.779 --> 00:21:08.579
I don't think I'm going to look at you. I'm
451
00:21:08.619 --> 00:21:09.839
going to sit here all through.
452
00:21:09.660 --> 00:21:12.920
The night, my eyes closed. Yes.
453
00:21:12.940 --> 00:21:13.019
Yes.
454
00:21:14.660 --> 00:21:15.259
I will.
455
00:21:17.059 --> 00:21:29.150
I will. How long have I had my eyes shut?
456
00:21:30.670 --> 00:21:31.079
All night?
457
00:21:32.940 --> 00:21:38.359
If there's light against my eyes, I know it.
458
00:21:39.559 --> 00:21:41.640
All right. I will open my eyes.
459
00:21:45.119 --> 00:21:45.599
Moonlight.
460
00:21:47.339 --> 00:21:50.680
So bright. Filling the canyon.
461
00:21:51.759 --> 00:21:52.240
The walls.
462
00:21:54.759 --> 00:22:01.690
So very bright. Shadow. Shadow on the wall.
463
00:22:02.750 --> 00:22:02.930
But.
464
00:22:05.049 --> 00:22:06.230
Moving along the wall.
465
00:22:08.410 --> 00:22:13.190
Shadow of what? Miss Wilkins. You said a shadow, Miss Wilkins.
466
00:22:13.490 --> 00:22:24.950
You... You're smiling. Mr. Cameron, you too. Yes, God. All
467
00:22:24.990 --> 00:22:33.509
of you smiling. Is it the moonlight or are you
468
00:22:33.569 --> 00:22:38.339
really smiling? Why are you smiling?
469
00:22:39.440 --> 00:22:39.759
Why?
470
00:22:43.359 --> 00:22:48.000
All right. I know. You know.
471
00:22:50.339 --> 00:22:50.720
All right.
472
00:22:52.799 --> 00:22:57.210
My eyes are open. And when the shadow touches me.
473
00:22:57.230 --> 00:22:59.809
When the shadow touches me.
474
00:22:59.829 --> 00:22:59.930
Who?
475
00:22:59.950 --> 00:23:00.049
Who?
476
00:23:00.089 --> 00:23:00.210
Who?
477
00:23:00.269 --> 00:23:07.359
Who's there? Must have gone down here.
478
00:23:08.140 --> 00:23:08.380
Lights.
479
00:23:09.779 --> 00:23:09.980
People.
480
00:23:10.099 --> 00:23:10.940
Anyone down there?
481
00:23:11.640 --> 00:23:12.500
Anyone down there?
482
00:23:12.539 --> 00:23:12.720
Anyone?
483
00:23:13.380 --> 00:23:13.759
Anyone?
484
00:23:17.230 --> 00:23:17.470
Mr.
485
00:23:17.490 --> 00:23:20.980
Commandant, who killed his brother. Miss Goddard, who killed her husband.
486
00:23:21.480 --> 00:23:22.430
Miss Wilkins, who killed him.
487
00:23:23.420 --> 00:23:23.680
Yes.
488
00:23:24.480 --> 00:23:27.099
If I'm down here, come and get me.
489
00:23:28.039 --> 00:23:29.960
I've waited for you for 15 years.
490
00:23:30.779 --> 00:23:31.839
I murdered my wife.
491
00:23:32.680 --> 00:23:33.500
Do you hear me?
492
00:23:34.220 --> 00:23:35.359
I murdered my wife!
493
00:23:35.680 --> 00:23:36.279
This is Mr.
494
00:23:36.500 --> 00:23:37.019
Owens, Moore.
495
00:23:44.960 --> 00:23:46.829
To those of you who have asked the title of
496
00:23:46.869 --> 00:23:52.009
my new book, it's called House on Fire. Next week,
497
00:23:52.750 --> 00:23:54.849
a play with a cast known to all you buffs
498
00:23:54.910 --> 00:23:58.289
of the golden days of radio. Frank Lovejoy and Paul
499
00:23:58.329 --> 00:24:02.490
Stewart in No Escape. A story to be listened to
500
00:24:02.509 --> 00:24:04.150
in the dark.
501
00:24:04.170 --> 00:24:05.069
It is.
502
00:24:16.269 --> 00:24:31.589
Then you think.
503
00:24:32.869 --> 00:24:36.150
That was Lights Out, Nature Study from the CBS series
504
00:24:36.190 --> 00:24:40.210
of 1943. Follow Lights Out for more classic broadcasts.
