00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.919
At Laura's party, a midnight engagement announcement is interrupted by
2
00:00:03.960 --> 00:00:07.639
a gunshot from the library. From October thirty first, nineteen
3
00:00:07.719 --> 00:00:11.199
forty three. This is episode ten of The Weird Circle
4
00:00:11.519 --> 00:00:16.079
William Wilson, adapted from Edgar Allan Poe's eighteen thirty nine story.
5
00:00:17.079 --> 00:00:21.719
As Bill Wilson faces the immediate mystery an unnervingly quiet
6
00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:25.600
man bearing his exact name appears to know far too
7
00:00:25.679 --> 00:00:30.519
much about him. The five person cast includes Joseph Julian,
8
00:00:30.839 --> 00:00:35.840
Elaine Kent, Robert Donnelly, Kay Loring, and Bill Smith. Peggy
9
00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:39.719
Mayer wrote the adaptation and co directed with Maurice Hamilton.
10
00:00:40.359 --> 00:00:45.960
Oscar Turner produced this recorded syndicated program. Now back to
11
00:00:46.039 --> 00:00:58.000
the golden age of radio.
12
00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:01.439
Out of the past, was up a world Gone by?
13
00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:05.719
Speaker again that immortal tale William Wilson.
14
00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:18.599
A Hourrah, Charlie Vernon. I thought you weren't going to
15
00:01:18.599 --> 00:01:19.480
come to my party tonight.
16
00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:21.439
This is one party I wouldn't miss for all the
17
00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:24.079
cobblestones in New York. Now you're going to announce your
18
00:01:24.120 --> 00:01:26.640
engagement to my old buddy, William Wilson.
19
00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:28.840
That was supposed to be a secret until midnight?
20
00:01:28.959 --> 00:01:29.480
Who told you.
21
00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:31.719
He was with a great buy and Aura, no secrets
22
00:01:31.719 --> 00:01:34.000
in this clubby little group of Where is Bill.
23
00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:34.719
Now in the library?
24
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:35.400
He hates crowd.
25
00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:35.760
You know it?
26
00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:42.000
Well, he wanted to be alone.
27
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:42.840
I find out.
28
00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:48.079
Well, I think it's in the library, Charles.
29
00:01:48.439 --> 00:01:52.760
Well, he's wanting to get a doctor.
30
00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:56.879
Somebody I fed a detective.
31
00:01:56.920 --> 00:01:59.519
I'd say he tried to bump himself off and miss.
32
00:01:59.719 --> 00:02:03.959
Charles Bill, it does look like attempted suicide, doesn't it.
33
00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:06.799
It's so strange.
34
00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:08.840
It's a strange.
35
00:02:09.439 --> 00:02:12.000
Nothing strange about this set up. Old boy got in
36
00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:14.000
your left hand, a bullet hole on your left side.
37
00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:14.680
Pretty neat.
38
00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:17.520
You're enjoying it, Charlie, I can't say that.
39
00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:17.840
I'm not.
40
00:02:18.280 --> 00:02:20.879
I came to suffer through your wedding. Who knows I
41
00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:22.759
might stay and enjoy your funeral?
42
00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:24.759
Really, your sense of humors out of place.
43
00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:28.719
You hate me, Charlie, don't you Boo Black? You never
44
00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:30.280
could stand a guy with brains.
45
00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:30.879
Brains.
46
00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:33.840
Those muscles in your head are so twisted they look
47
00:02:33.919 --> 00:02:34.719
like handcuffs.
48
00:02:34.759 --> 00:02:35.560
Why did you do it?
49
00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:35.879
Bill?
50
00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:38.080
Alright, you've got to believe me. I didn't.
51
00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:41.080
I didn't do it? Oh did build?
52
00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:41.599
Why?
53
00:02:41.879 --> 00:02:42.199
Come on?
54
00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:45.240
William Wilson. We want the straight goods for a change.
55
00:02:45.319 --> 00:02:48.520
But I didn't hate you might die, mister, put your
56
00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:49.199
cards on the.
57
00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:55.879
Table, cards on the table. Hum. He wouldn't believe me
58
00:02:55.919 --> 00:02:58.120
if I told you, none of you would.
59
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:03.319
I started back in college when you and I were
60
00:03:03.400 --> 00:03:08.039
rooming together the fraternity has Charlie. It was one night
61
00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:11.120
you were sitting at the desk studying, and I was
62
00:03:11.199 --> 00:03:12.000
trying to shave.
63
00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:15.599
I was peering in the mirror at myself.
64
00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:20.400
Why are you getting so slicked up? The old boy
65
00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:22.560
got a date Billy Maysfield.
66
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:24.199
Cute little sent thing, isn't she?
67
00:03:24.479 --> 00:03:26.199
Oh Bill, she's not your type.
68
00:03:26.639 --> 00:03:27.599
She's good for laughs.
69
00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:29.400
You don't need laughs every night.
70
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:30.960
What would you suggest?
71
00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:33.919
Oh, gee, Bill, if I had your dough, I'd well,
72
00:03:33.960 --> 00:03:36.280
I'd work hard at college and meet a nice girl
73
00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:38.400
and think about getting married out.
74
00:03:39.159 --> 00:03:40.240
I almost cut myself.
75
00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:42.680
Oh I mean it, go about getting married, Bill.
76
00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:45.560
So you mean it? What do you want me to
77
00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:46.599
do bury myself?
78
00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:49.960
Oh? No, but Gean, take take me for instance.
79
00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:52.719
I know I'm a dope, but I got just enough
80
00:03:52.759 --> 00:03:54.039
money to see me through college.
81
00:03:54.080 --> 00:03:56.080
Yeah, I know, the three thousand dollars your old man
82
00:03:56.199 --> 00:03:58.960
left you. You're a boob to spend it in this place,
83
00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:01.199
you'll wind up with a bank account and a dirty
84
00:04:01.199 --> 00:04:02.960
piece of parchment to show for your trouble.
85
00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:05.560
You've got the wrong slant on life, Bill.
86
00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:09.039
I have listen stupid. You've been seeing our Saint Claire
87
00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:12.400
for three years now. She's alive with money. If you'd
88
00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:14.439
get on to yourself, you'd bring the question, put her
89
00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:16.639
in double what lock and get your fingers on that money.
90
00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:20.120
I'm in love with Aura, Bill, love love, love rot.
91
00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:22.000
I'd never touch a cent of her money.
92
00:04:22.199 --> 00:04:25.759
You're crazy, Charlie. Well, boy, I don't want to be late.
93
00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:29.560
Hey hey, Bill, uh, have you met the new boy
94
00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:30.040
in the house?
95
00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:30.920
What new boy?
96
00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:32.680
A freshman just came in today?
97
00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:34.959
Sounds fascinating? What about it?
98
00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:37.639
Oh? Nothing except he's got the same moon you have.
99
00:04:38.439 --> 00:04:39.160
Are you kidding?
100
00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:39.720
No?
101
00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:41.319
I just thought you'd be interested.
102
00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:44.879
There can't be too William Wilson's. If there is, there
103
00:04:44.920 --> 00:04:45.759
won't be for long.
104
00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:49.560
Boy, What an ego you'll have, the great Scott Feller.
105
00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:51.959
You waste more time talking than you do anything else.
106
00:04:52.040 --> 00:04:53.600
Yeah, which all adds up to the fact that you
107
00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:55.959
want me to stay home and study tonight. That ain't
108
00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:59.600
doing Charlie. I got a date with my dolly night.
109
00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:04.120
That was the first time I ever heard of the
110
00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:08.120
other William Wilson. Knowledge did he exists? And rankled in
111
00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:11.720
my soul that evening. As I stepped out into the
112
00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:14.560
hall and walked halfway down the stairs, I was stopped
113
00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:18.720
by my double. He looked just like me, rather like
114
00:05:18.759 --> 00:05:22.360
a poor imitation. I felt from the first that he
115
00:05:22.439 --> 00:05:25.839
was my evil genius. He didn't act like a freshman
116
00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:26.240
when he.
117
00:05:26.199 --> 00:05:30.759
Said, Hello, I've been waiting for you here in the hall.
118
00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:33.480
You've been waiting for me. Who are you?
119
00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:40.000
I'm your namesake. You can call me Wilson. There's nobody
120
00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:43.160
home at the fraternity house except you and me and Charlie.
121
00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:45.759
I thought it would be a good chance to get
122
00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:46.480
acquainted with you.
123
00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:49.199
I'm sorry, I'm busy to hell. Where do you get
124
00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:49.959
that bill stuff?
125
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:52.480
It might be worthwhile getting acquainted with me.
126
00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:54.480
What do you want anyway?
127
00:05:54.519 --> 00:05:57.120
I'll walk you down the stairs. I'll trouble yourself, Wilson.
128
00:05:57.480 --> 00:05:59.839
You might be better off never knowing I might be
129
00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:02.839
say that. I said, see you some other time, Wilson.
130
00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:04.720
Charlie.
131
00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:06.279
Something I can do for you, lady?
132
00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:08.879
Oh yes, I'm Orison Claire. I promised to call for
133
00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:09.800
Charlie vernon tonight.
134
00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:10.839
What'd you calling for me?
135
00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:12.279
You're or Saint Clair?
136
00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:13.800
Oh he is?
137
00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:16.800
Well? Uh, all right?
138
00:06:18.279 --> 00:06:19.959
Would you tell Charlie I'm here?
139
00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:24.319
Well, I would if I could, but he's not in.
140
00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:25.920
Oh but he'd promise you.
141
00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:29.160
Imagine him forgetting a date with a nice girl like you.
142
00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:31.439
Oh that's strange.
143
00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:32.879
Do you know where he is?
144
00:06:33.839 --> 00:06:37.879
Yeah? I mean well, geemus, Saint Clair. I don't think
145
00:06:37.879 --> 00:06:38.519
I ought to tell you?
146
00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:41.439
Is he out with another girl?
147
00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:44.839
Well, now that you've guessed that, I guess I'll have
148
00:06:44.879 --> 00:06:45.480
to say yes.
149
00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:49.240
I see I'm sorry.
150
00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:51.120
I don't look like that. Suppose I see you home?
151
00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:53.160
That's not necessary, be a pleasure.
152
00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:56.240
I do anything for Charlie. Come on, Bill, is that
153
00:06:56.399 --> 00:06:57.160
you again? Will say?
154
00:06:57.240 --> 00:06:59.800
Yes? It's me Bill. Don't you think you ought to
155
00:06:59.800 --> 00:07:01.120
stay around here this evening?
156
00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:02.600
Don't you think you want to mind your own Painess?
157
00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:04.680
Maybe you are my business?
158
00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:09.120
What stop ribbing me, fella, I don't like it. Come
159
00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:11.639
on in to Saint Clair, thank you, and I'll have
160
00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:12.600
a lot to talk about.
161
00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:16.560
This is awfully nice of you. What I don't even
162
00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:17.120
know your name?
163
00:07:17.399 --> 00:07:20.240
William Wilson. Don't forget that, my sweet though one and
164
00:07:20.360 --> 00:07:26.519
only William Wilson. That's how I met a. We spent
165
00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:28.240
the entire evening together, Charlie.
166
00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:32.120
We had a lot of laughs as well past midnight
167
00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:35.360
when we said good night to each other and I
168
00:07:35.399 --> 00:07:37.319
was about to go home when I remembered that I
169
00:07:37.360 --> 00:07:39.759
hadn't even called Dolly Macefield to tell her I couldn't
170
00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:43.199
make it. Knowing Dolly's temperament, I decided to drop up
171
00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:44.879
to her apartment, even though it was late.
172
00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:47.319
I knocked on the apartment door.
173
00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:55.439
Well, well, look what the breeze brought in?
174
00:07:55.759 --> 00:07:56.759
Mister heartbreak?
175
00:07:57.199 --> 00:07:59.560
Aren't you gonna even ask me in? I don't never
176
00:07:59.639 --> 00:08:01.600
talk to you again. That's what Who do you think
177
00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:01.879
you are?
178
00:08:02.079 --> 00:08:02.959
Mister king Osia?
179
00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:04.000
Oh that's the way you fail.
180
00:08:04.199 --> 00:08:09.160
Wait a minute, come on in, Bill, I've been worried
181
00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:09.959
stiff about you.
182
00:08:10.319 --> 00:08:14.600
That's more like my doll. Baby got a kiss for me?
183
00:08:14.959 --> 00:08:17.240
Sure? I got a kiss for you?
184
00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:19.079
Oh?
185
00:08:19.160 --> 00:08:21.040
Bill, I love you so much.
186
00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:34.639
There, Dolly, there, where were your Bill? Where was I?
187
00:08:34.799 --> 00:08:35.480
Don't you trust me?
188
00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:35.799
Dolly?
189
00:08:36.440 --> 00:08:36.759
Sure?
190
00:08:36.799 --> 00:08:37.480
I trust you.
191
00:08:38.519 --> 00:08:41.960
I had something important to attend to come and give
192
00:08:42.039 --> 00:08:46.080
us a smile there. I like to see you smile, Dolly.
193
00:08:46.559 --> 00:08:47.240
I like it a lot.
194
00:08:47.519 --> 00:08:49.120
I do most anything for you. Bill.
195
00:08:49.720 --> 00:08:51.320
I'm glad to hear that, because I'm going to ask
196
00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:52.279
your favorite.
197
00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:52.840
Anything you want.
198
00:08:53.440 --> 00:08:54.840
I want you to stay away from me from now.
199
00:08:54.840 --> 00:08:56.519
I'm baby you and I throw.
200
00:08:57.840 --> 00:08:59.159
Oh, Bill, what are you talking about?
201
00:08:59.600 --> 00:09:03.240
Don't with me, no joke. I'm serious. Give me to
202
00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:04.240
you right from the shoulder.
203
00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:04.480
Kid.
204
00:09:04.879 --> 00:09:07.320
But you're joking, are you? No?
205
00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:07.960
I'm not.
206
00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:12.080
I found the girl I want to marry. She's class, Dolly,
207
00:09:12.200 --> 00:09:14.120
real class, with plenty of money.
208
00:09:14.679 --> 00:09:17.399
You get me, he'll ever marry her, Bill, She'll find
209
00:09:17.399 --> 00:09:19.960
out what a cheap four flush you are. I'll teller.
210
00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:22.320
I'll tell her a lot of things about you. You
211
00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:24.600
pretending to have so much money and borrowing for me
212
00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:27.039
all the time, pretending to be such a big shout,
213
00:09:27.080 --> 00:09:29.679
and you got holes in your shoes, shooting off your mouth.
214
00:09:30.759 --> 00:09:33.720
Shut up, Dolly, before I make you shut up. Nobody's
215
00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:37.000
going to tell anybody anything, that is if you're smart,
216
00:09:38.320 --> 00:09:44.519
and I think you are. Okay, I know what everybody
217
00:09:44.559 --> 00:09:47.279
thinks of me. But I made up my mind to
218
00:09:47.320 --> 00:09:50.679
marry Aura. Nobody was going to stop me. I saw
219
00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:52.840
or every day and every night after that for the
220
00:09:52.879 --> 00:09:58.080
next three weeks things went according to plan. I thought
221
00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:02.720
I was rid of Dolly Maysfield good until you remember
222
00:10:02.759 --> 00:10:05.080
that night, Charlie, you and I and Wilson were sitting
223
00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:07.120
around the living room or the fraternity has you in
224
00:10:07.159 --> 00:10:11.440
the fat. It's all Wilson's fault. I knew from the
225
00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:14.440
first time I saw him he was my evil genius.
226
00:10:15.080 --> 00:10:19.159
And you were saying, I just can't understand it.
227
00:10:19.240 --> 00:10:22.240
Bill. I've been calling all every night, but she won't
228
00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:22.679
talk to me.
229
00:10:23.120 --> 00:10:24.600
Yeah, that's how women are, Charlie.
230
00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:26.200
Why don't you tell him? Why?
231
00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:26.480
Bill?
232
00:10:26.559 --> 00:10:29.120
Keep out of this, Wilson. It won't make any difference now.
233
00:10:29.039 --> 00:10:30.200
Said, mind your own business.
234
00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:31.600
You are my business.
235
00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:33.759
Bill. What are you talking about? Wilson?
236
00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:36.360
Ask Bill why you never saw Aura the night she
237
00:10:36.480 --> 00:10:38.799
was to call for you? Ask him?
238
00:10:40.200 --> 00:10:43.919
Go on, Charlie, Bill, what did Bill have to do
239
00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:44.360
with her?
240
00:10:44.600 --> 00:10:46.799
What difference does that make? Now it's all over and
241
00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:50.240
done with. I was not interested in you anymore, Charlie.
242
00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:51.759
She told me so herself.
243
00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:57.919
You you dirty, double crossound Charlie and cool? Or why
244
00:10:57.919 --> 00:11:00.639
don't you write or a letter and tell the truth?
245
00:11:00.799 --> 00:11:01.039
Child?
246
00:11:02.519 --> 00:11:03.200
What's the use?
247
00:11:04.559 --> 00:11:07.440
But I'll get even with you someday, Bill Wilson, don't
248
00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:08.159
think I won't.
249
00:11:10.200 --> 00:11:13.080
I'll answered, and you'll make a good door man. Wilson.
250
00:11:14.399 --> 00:11:16.159
I told you, Charlie, to grab the girl while you
251
00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:16.759
had the chance.
252
00:11:17.240 --> 00:11:18.600
You didn't tell me you were going to stick a
253
00:11:18.679 --> 00:11:19.519
knife in my back.
254
00:11:19.799 --> 00:11:21.720
The smart guy gets what he wants in this world.
255
00:11:23.440 --> 00:11:24.799
You have to be smart like me.
256
00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:27.120
Bill.
257
00:11:27.720 --> 00:11:29.960
Oh Bill, Well, look who's here? If it isn't the
258
00:11:30.039 --> 00:11:31.879
doll Baby yourself? Hello?
259
00:11:32.000 --> 00:11:35.440
Bill, Hello, Dolly, meet the boys. This is Charlie Vernon
260
00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:38.039
the Dormond is my double. William Wilson.
261
00:11:38.320 --> 00:11:41.960
Hello. How do you tell you what I'll do for you? Charlie.
262
00:11:42.000 --> 00:11:43.720
I'll give you the doll baby here in exchange for
263
00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:45.159
or How is that that's fair?
264
00:11:45.879 --> 00:11:49.759
You make a man sick, Bill, Bill, Bill, I got
265
00:11:49.759 --> 00:11:50.840
to see you.
266
00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:54.639
I mean, I told you not to bother me anymore.
267
00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:57.159
Oh please, Bill, if you've any pity.
268
00:11:56.919 --> 00:12:03.279
Pity, sure, I got pity. Where we go anywhere?
269
00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:03.759
You say?
270
00:12:03.799 --> 00:12:04.039
Bill?
271
00:12:04.759 --> 00:12:08.559
How about the river? M how about a nice walk
272
00:12:08.639 --> 00:12:09.279
down to the river.
273
00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:13.039
Sure, Bill, that's a good place for what I want.
274
00:12:13.799 --> 00:12:15.639
That's just about perfect.
275
00:12:51.320 --> 00:12:55.480
He walked down to the river, Dolly and I Fred Tucker.
276
00:12:55.759 --> 00:12:58.720
She was silent that night, and I knew she had
277
00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:02.759
more upper sleeve than her white arm. We got to
278
00:13:02.840 --> 00:13:05.720
the edge of the river, we sat down to watch
279
00:13:05.759 --> 00:13:06.679
the boat steam by.
280
00:13:09.919 --> 00:13:10.200
Bill.
281
00:13:10.799 --> 00:13:14.000
I can't live without you, So what, I'm gonna give
282
00:13:14.039 --> 00:13:16.639
you one last chance, Bill, to be a decent guy.
283
00:13:16.840 --> 00:13:19.559
You're gonna give me a chance? What a laugh?
284
00:13:19.639 --> 00:13:22.000
Oh, Bill, don't you know what you're doing to yourself.
285
00:13:22.360 --> 00:13:24.360
You're trying to marry a girl that ain't for you.
286
00:13:25.200 --> 00:13:27.080
He once told me that you and me was cut
287
00:13:27.080 --> 00:13:30.000
from the same piece of cloth. We are cut from
288
00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:32.639
the same piece of clothes. Here are no good bum
289
00:13:32.720 --> 00:13:36.320
but I love you. Oh, we could help each other.
290
00:13:36.519 --> 00:13:38.600
You could go straight and be honest and hide and
291
00:13:38.600 --> 00:13:40.440
work right with you every inch of away.
292
00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:43.320
Nobody else to do that for you, Bill, What do
293
00:13:43.320 --> 00:13:45.240
you expect me to do? Check twenty million dollars into
294
00:13:45.279 --> 00:13:48.080
the lake for you. Listen, Dolly, don't try any trick
295
00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:48.480
to sail.
296
00:13:48.600 --> 00:13:51.639
Please, please, don't fit into the picture anymore. Don't you
297
00:13:51.679 --> 00:13:51.960
get it?
298
00:13:52.039 --> 00:13:53.000
Oh? What'll I do?
299
00:13:53.120 --> 00:13:56.039
Who cares? Why don't you kill yourself? Make it easier
300
00:13:56.080 --> 00:13:56.840
all the way around?
301
00:13:57.559 --> 00:13:58.320
You wouldn't care.
302
00:13:58.559 --> 00:13:59.799
It's on your a dozen posies.
303
00:14:00.039 --> 00:14:01.559
If I jumped in the river, you wouldn't care.
304
00:14:01.679 --> 00:14:03.799
Why should I watch me?
305
00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:04.120
Bill?
306
00:14:04.759 --> 00:14:06.600
I don't think any man's as hard as you pretend
307
00:14:06.679 --> 00:14:06.840
to be.
308
00:14:07.879 --> 00:14:08.600
So I'm watching.
309
00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:12.120
You've held me in your arms, you've kissed me, You've
310
00:14:12.159 --> 00:14:14.279
said you loved me. Doesn't that mean anything?
311
00:14:14.559 --> 00:14:16.559
It did when I said it. I guess you're can
312
00:14:16.679 --> 00:14:18.000
ever tell what a guy's gonna say?
313
00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:19.639
Can you really watch me, Bill?
314
00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:22.840
Even though I love I can watch anything, Baby, when
315
00:14:22.840 --> 00:14:25.200
I'm sitting on twenty million dollars, watch me, Bill?
316
00:14:25.799 --> 00:14:27.960
What I a fool? Jump and get it over with.
317
00:14:28.200 --> 00:14:29.000
You can't bluff me.
318
00:14:29.320 --> 00:14:31.399
I love your Bill, don't forget that.
319
00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:35.960
I get.
320
00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:38.879
I was good choice kid.
321
00:14:39.320 --> 00:14:41.679
You'll pick your grave not dying it.
322
00:14:44.399 --> 00:14:48.120
Nice work, William Wilson, Nice work.
323
00:14:48.360 --> 00:14:49.200
What are you doing here?
324
00:14:49.320 --> 00:14:52.519
I tried to follow you. I have a feeling I'm
325
00:14:52.559 --> 00:14:56.919
a little late. She wanted to kill herself. I wasn't
326
00:14:56.960 --> 00:15:00.840
thinking about DOLLI, Bill, I was thinking about you.
327
00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:03.320
Don't give me that stuff, Wilson. I don't go for it.
328
00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:07.159
I'm always thinking about you, Bill, But you're too smart
329
00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:10.519
to allow anybody to help you. And I'm afraid it's
330
00:15:10.559 --> 00:15:12.960
too late for you to help yourself. Cut it out,
331
00:15:13.320 --> 00:15:16.279
cut it out, Let me worry about my own soul.
332
00:15:17.120 --> 00:15:18.879
If it's damned, then I'll be the one to suffer,
333
00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:19.840
Not you, Not you.
334
00:15:22.639 --> 00:15:26.679
Dolly was dead. Nobody knew about it except Wilson. I
335
00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:29.360
knew he wouldn't tell. At least I thought he wouldn't.
336
00:15:30.120 --> 00:15:33.840
I don't know why, but I just knew. There was
337
00:15:33.879 --> 00:15:35.639
only one other person in the way of my plan.
338
00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:37.000
That was you, Charlie.
339
00:15:37.480 --> 00:15:38.840
You were in the way, and I had to get
340
00:15:38.879 --> 00:15:41.759
rid of you. It took me some time to plan
341
00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:46.159
the right attack. It was right after mid years. Remember, Oh,
342
00:15:46.200 --> 00:15:49.960
could I forget? I was alone in the room with you, Charlie.
343
00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:52.759
I was toying with a deck of cards.
344
00:15:54.039 --> 00:15:55.639
Stop that shuffling, will you, Bill?
345
00:15:55.759 --> 00:15:58.039
I gotta shuffle him, gotta play some two handed start
346
00:15:58.080 --> 00:15:58.600
with Wilson.
347
00:15:58.720 --> 00:16:00.000
I'm nervous enough waiting for them.
348
00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:02.799
Did your report? You'll pass. Don't worry.
349
00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:04.960
If I don't pass, what happens to me?
350
00:16:05.039 --> 00:16:08.759
Then I got one thousand dollars left, not enough to
351
00:16:08.759 --> 00:16:11.000
pay for any full year's course anywhere in the country.
352
00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:12.519
What makes you so sure you're flunk?
353
00:16:13.159 --> 00:16:13.840
You know why?
354
00:16:14.519 --> 00:16:16.120
Still thinking of horror?
355
00:16:16.480 --> 00:16:20.120
Sure, I'm still thinking of her day and night. There
356
00:16:20.200 --> 00:16:22.919
wasn't there a decent cord in you somewhere? Why don't
357
00:16:22.960 --> 00:16:24.559
you go to Orr and tell her the truth?
358
00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:27.039
Why don't you?
359
00:16:28.159 --> 00:16:29.720
Hello, Charlie? How are you?
360
00:16:29.759 --> 00:16:31.200
Bill? It's about time he got.
361
00:16:31.039 --> 00:16:33.759
Here, Wilson. Sorry, Bill, I hate to keep you waiting.
362
00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:36.240
Have a s What do you want to play for it?
363
00:16:36.320 --> 00:16:37.360
Name your own figure?
364
00:16:37.919 --> 00:16:39.480
Well, how about a five dollar limit?
365
00:16:39.519 --> 00:16:40.039
Good enough?
366
00:16:40.679 --> 00:16:43.159
I want to sit in on a hand, Charlie. No thanks,
367
00:16:43.200 --> 00:16:45.840
I couldn't damus stud. It'd be good for it. Take
368
00:16:45.840 --> 00:16:47.000
your mind off your troubles.
369
00:16:47.080 --> 00:16:48.600
All the stakes are sort of high.
370
00:16:48.720 --> 00:16:51.240
Or maybe i'll win some money. Heaven knows you need it.
371
00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:54.519
Okay, Well I might sit in for a while.
372
00:16:54.879 --> 00:16:57.840
Cut for deal, vernon. It might bring you some luck.
373
00:17:05.119 --> 00:17:06.640
Don't you ever lose? Bill?
374
00:17:06.920 --> 00:17:09.640
Not very often? Oh boy, not very often? Want to
375
00:17:09.640 --> 00:17:10.920
bet again, easy, Charlie.
376
00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:13.920
Quit now you've still got six hundred dollars left?
377
00:17:13.960 --> 00:17:16.640
Oh? I can't quit now, I can't. I tell you
378
00:17:16.640 --> 00:17:17.240
I gotta win.
379
00:17:17.839 --> 00:17:18.400
I got it.
380
00:17:19.240 --> 00:17:20.759
Let's double the stakes.
381
00:17:20.559 --> 00:17:27.720
Double it, triple it anyway you want, Charlie, old boy.
382
00:17:31.519 --> 00:17:32.119
Three o'clock.
383
00:17:32.160 --> 00:17:34.759
Bill, It's not up to me to quit. I'm the winner.
384
00:17:35.119 --> 00:17:38.440
It's up to Charlie. How about it, Charlie.
385
00:17:38.759 --> 00:17:42.480
I haven't got much choice, have I. I'm flat busted.
386
00:17:42.839 --> 00:17:45.480
Now. That's tough luck, Charlie. That's real tough luck.
387
00:17:45.559 --> 00:17:49.880
You've got my girl, You've got my money, You've got everything.
388
00:17:49.920 --> 00:17:52.160
Haven't your bill just everything?
389
00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:56.160
You shouldn't gamble if you can't afford it. Come on, Charlie,
390
00:17:56.519 --> 00:18:00.680
I got that checked for the full m out dollars.
391
00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:02.680
I haven't got that much money in the world, and
392
00:18:02.680 --> 00:18:03.240
you know it.
393
00:18:03.839 --> 00:18:06.720
Give me a thousand, then I'll take an option on
394
00:18:06.759 --> 00:18:08.279
that empty solo ears for the rest.
395
00:18:09.559 --> 00:18:10.599
That's a medic going to welch.
396
00:18:11.160 --> 00:18:13.359
I don't welch. Where's the pin?
397
00:18:13.920 --> 00:18:17.599
There it is, Charlie, don't get sore, give it me
398
00:18:19.640 --> 00:18:20.960
take it that nice and clear.
399
00:18:21.039 --> 00:18:21.400
Huh.
400
00:18:21.920 --> 00:18:26.680
That's a boy. Here you are, thanks, Charlie. Where are
401
00:18:26.680 --> 00:18:27.680
you going, Charlie?
402
00:18:27.880 --> 00:18:30.759
As far away from here as I can get. I'm
403
00:18:30.759 --> 00:18:34.680
gonna get a job, a good, honest job. Someday I'll
404
00:18:34.680 --> 00:18:38.559
be back and I won't forget you, Bill. I'll never
405
00:18:38.640 --> 00:18:43.079
forget you, no matter how long I live. Someday I'm
406
00:18:43.079 --> 00:18:43.720
gonna get even.
407
00:18:43.759 --> 00:18:45.359
Keep your shirt on, Charlie.
408
00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:46.720
If you will pardon me. You're not.
409
00:18:49.480 --> 00:18:52.359
Nice work Bill keeping an even score?
410
00:18:53.079 --> 00:18:54.359
What are you talking about, Wilson?
411
00:18:54.359 --> 00:18:57.359
The three aces up your sleeve and the cards from
412
00:18:57.400 --> 00:18:58.319
the bottom of the deck.
413
00:18:59.279 --> 00:19:00.680
If you saw me, why didn't you tell it?
414
00:19:00.880 --> 00:19:04.839
I don't have to. Other eyes are watching you beside me,
415
00:19:06.079 --> 00:19:11.799
many other eyes, eyes that keep the records of our lives.
416
00:19:12.920 --> 00:19:13.119
Sorr.
417
00:19:13.160 --> 00:19:17.119
I cheated you, Charlie. You didn't even know it. He
418
00:19:17.240 --> 00:19:20.319
left town and it was clear sailing for me all
419
00:19:20.359 --> 00:19:24.960
the way. Yeah, it's clear sailing right to the altar,
420
00:19:25.720 --> 00:19:27.640
at least most of the altar.
421
00:19:27.839 --> 00:19:31.279
Except for one thing. What you didn't know, Bill, one
422
00:19:31.359 --> 00:19:34.599
little thing. I left the fraternity house that night, but
423
00:19:34.640 --> 00:19:37.440
I didn't leave town. I went to Ora's house and
424
00:19:37.480 --> 00:19:39.119
I told her the full story.
425
00:19:40.119 --> 00:19:43.039
Charlie, this isn't a new story to me all along.
426
00:19:43.079 --> 00:19:45.960
I've known Bill's pretty rotten. But I'm in love with him.
427
00:19:47.000 --> 00:19:48.400
I'm horribly in love with him.
428
00:19:49.440 --> 00:19:50.160
Do you know what I mean?
429
00:19:50.920 --> 00:19:52.559
Yes, I know exactly what you mean.
430
00:19:52.920 --> 00:19:56.480
I'm fascinated by him, and yet there's something almost appalling
431
00:19:56.480 --> 00:20:01.519
about him. He's crude and earthy. How can I make
432
00:20:01.559 --> 00:20:02.200
you understand?
433
00:20:03.079 --> 00:20:04.359
I think I understand, Laura.
434
00:20:04.880 --> 00:20:07.160
Sometimes I wish I've never met him, you would have
435
00:20:07.200 --> 00:20:11.119
been better off. And then again, I die without him, Charlie,
436
00:20:12.079 --> 00:20:15.119
that's my answer. I'm so sorry, my dear.
437
00:20:16.279 --> 00:20:20.519
It's all right, Urrah Someday. I'll be back when you
438
00:20:20.640 --> 00:20:24.160
need me. I don't mind being an old shoe for you.
439
00:20:25.200 --> 00:20:25.799
I'll be back.
440
00:20:25.839 --> 00:20:28.519
And I hope you've gotten over him by that.
441
00:20:30.920 --> 00:20:33.319
That was a right touching scene.
442
00:20:33.599 --> 00:20:37.160
Yeah, maybe you still got a chance, Charlie, if that
443
00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:38.440
doctor doesn't get it soon.
444
00:20:38.680 --> 00:20:42.200
But you still haven't told me who still? What happened tonight?
445
00:20:43.799 --> 00:20:48.960
Well, I graduated from college and you and I became engaged,
446
00:20:50.240 --> 00:20:52.640
and you sent out the invitations to this ball tonight,
447
00:20:52.920 --> 00:20:56.039
to all my old friends, even to Wilson, the one
448
00:20:56.079 --> 00:20:59.839
man I didn't want to see. I was standing in
449
00:20:59.880 --> 00:21:03.799
the ballroom a little while ago, watching you are when
450
00:21:03.839 --> 00:21:07.039
Wilson beckoned to me he was in the doorway of
451
00:21:07.039 --> 00:21:10.920
the library. Somehow or other, I felt drawn to it.
452
00:21:12.839 --> 00:21:15.640
He had to go there, even though I didn't want to.
453
00:21:17.400 --> 00:21:19.480
I walked in, closed the door behind me.
454
00:21:21.039 --> 00:21:22.640
Hello, Bill, what do you want?
455
00:21:23.039 --> 00:21:24.200
You know what I've come for?
456
00:21:24.799 --> 00:21:25.839
All right? You turn on the lights?
457
00:21:25.920 --> 00:21:27.680
Are you afraid of the dark? Bill?
458
00:21:28.240 --> 00:21:29.200
What are you talking about?
459
00:21:29.200 --> 00:21:32.200
Wilson. The world you know will be dark forever.
460
00:21:32.920 --> 00:21:34.039
Are you trying to threaten me?
461
00:21:34.119 --> 00:21:37.960
I don't think I have to threaten you. You threaten
462
00:21:38.039 --> 00:21:39.799
yourself by your mere existence.
463
00:21:40.640 --> 00:21:44.880
Who are you anyway? William Wilson, don't you know?
464
00:21:45.119 --> 00:21:45.400
Bill?
465
00:21:46.759 --> 00:21:47.920
Stop looking at me that way.
466
00:21:48.480 --> 00:21:53.279
Think back, Bill, think back a long way.
467
00:21:54.119 --> 00:21:58.039
Remember Dolly, I don't want to die, Bill, I just
468
00:21:58.079 --> 00:21:58.720
want to threaten.
469
00:21:59.319 --> 00:22:00.279
I don't want to die.
470
00:22:00.799 --> 00:22:05.400
I love you. Remember her screams and your laugh. Remember
471
00:22:05.480 --> 00:22:06.519
what Charlie said.
472
00:22:06.759 --> 00:22:10.079
You'll pay for the Sunday, Bill, You'll pay for it.
473
00:22:10.240 --> 00:22:14.920
I warn you. I've warned you many times, and I
474
00:22:15.119 --> 00:22:18.400
never told on you. You know why.
475
00:22:18.759 --> 00:22:19.559
I don't care why?
476
00:22:19.559 --> 00:22:23.880
I think hard? Bill Wilson, think hard. I'm the only
477
00:22:23.920 --> 00:22:28.119
one who knows the truth. I'm the only one who
478
00:22:28.240 --> 00:22:35.319
stands between you and success. William Wilson. You carry a gun,
479
00:22:36.160 --> 00:22:36.839
don't you, Bill?
480
00:22:38.599 --> 00:22:40.640
Don't you? What's the difference? If I do?
481
00:22:41.960 --> 00:22:46.160
Why don't you kill me? Then nobody will know?
482
00:22:47.759 --> 00:22:47.799
You?
483
00:22:48.319 --> 00:22:48.839
Love you?
484
00:22:49.119 --> 00:22:51.240
Hate you? Love you? Hate you.
485
00:22:51.440 --> 00:22:52.440
Yes, I will kill you.
486
00:22:53.240 --> 00:22:53.640
I will.
487
00:22:54.359 --> 00:22:55.799
That can only be one, William Wilson.
488
00:22:59.319 --> 00:23:03.799
There's never being more than one. William Wilson.
489
00:23:04.759 --> 00:23:09.680
I'm wounded huh, I aim the gun at you. But
490
00:23:09.799 --> 00:23:23.200
you're Wilson. Wilson, Wilson, where are you? What's I'm a woman? Oh?
491
00:23:23.039 --> 00:23:25.799
No, No, I couldn't have dreamed it couldn't.
492
00:23:26.200 --> 00:23:26.839
I couldn't.
493
00:23:29.519 --> 00:23:33.319
That's the entire story. You don't have to believe me,
494
00:23:33.559 --> 00:23:34.440
but it's the truth.
495
00:23:34.839 --> 00:23:35.480
Here's the doctor.
496
00:23:35.519 --> 00:23:35.720
Bill.
497
00:23:36.640 --> 00:23:39.039
Just lie still, Son, don't try to move.
498
00:23:39.079 --> 00:23:41.599
Hey, I don't feel sick, doctor, I'm just stiff, sort
499
00:23:41.640 --> 00:23:43.559
of sort of paralyzed, you know what I mean?
500
00:23:44.079 --> 00:23:44.440
Look at this?
501
00:23:45.160 --> 00:23:49.920
Mm hmm, Hey, doctor, how bad? Am I?
502
00:23:50.200 --> 00:23:51.960
Just lie still?
503
00:23:53.039 --> 00:23:56.839
Think there's a sudden plain, doctor Pang. I felt fine
504
00:23:56.880 --> 00:23:57.440
before him, but.
505
00:23:59.440 --> 00:24:00.240
He h.
506
00:24:02.039 --> 00:24:05.200
I'm afraid it's too late. The bullet lodging in his
507
00:24:05.319 --> 00:24:07.440
heart and the exertion of talking was too.
508
00:24:07.359 --> 00:24:07.920
Much for him.
509
00:24:08.440 --> 00:24:09.880
If he hadn't talked, doctor.
510
00:24:10.400 --> 00:24:12.960
No, my dear, he must have had a lot on
511
00:24:13.039 --> 00:24:15.039
his conscience to have held up this long.
512
00:24:20.640 --> 00:24:26.920
William Wilson, I'm waiting for you. Come along, Bill, Wilson.
513
00:24:28.200 --> 00:24:29.160
What are you doing here?
514
00:24:29.400 --> 00:24:34.279
Just waiting for you, Bill, waiting so that two halves
515
00:24:34.319 --> 00:24:39.160
of a soul can be re united. Come along, Bill,
516
00:24:40.480 --> 00:24:41.000
take my.
517
00:24:41.079 --> 00:24:49.400
Hand, your hand, so dark here, Wilson, so very dark.
518
00:24:49.599 --> 00:24:54.039
Yes, I'll have to leave you. And we have a
519
00:24:54.200 --> 00:25:00.880
long journey head, an awful and long journey on the road.
520
00:25:00.839 --> 00:25:14.799
Back from the time worn pages of the past. We

1
00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.919
At Laura's party, a midnight engagement announcement is interrupted by
2
00:00:03.960 --> 00:00:07.639
a gunshot from the library. From October thirty first, nineteen
3
00:00:07.719 --> 00:00:11.199

William Wilson, adapted from Edgar Allan Poe's eighteen thirty nine story.
5
00:00:17.079 --> 00:00:21.719
As Bill Wilson faces the immediate mystery an unnervingly quiet
6
00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:25.600
man bearing his exact name appears to know far too
7
00:00:25.679 --> 00:00:30.519
much about him. The five person cast includes Joseph Julian,

Mayer wrote the adaptation and co directed with Maurice Hamilton.
10
00:00:40.359 --> 00:00:45.960
Oscar Turner produced this recorded syndicated program. Now back to
11
00:00:46.039 --> 00:00:58.000
the golden age of radio.
12
00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:01.439
Out of the past, was up a world Gone by?
13
00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:05.719
Speaker again that immortal tale William Wilson.
14
00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:18.599
A Hourrah, Charlie Vernon. I thought you weren't going to
15
00:01:18.599 --> 00:01:19.480
come to my party tonight.
16
00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:21.439
This is one party I wouldn't miss for all the
17
00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:24.079
cobblestones in New York. Now you're going to announce your
18
00:01:24.120 --> 00:01:26.640
engagement to my old buddy, William Wilson.
19
00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:28.840
That was supposed to be a secret until midnight?
20
00:01:28.959 --> 00:01:29.480
Who told you.
21
00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:31.719
He was with a great buy and Aura, no secrets
22
00:01:31.719 --> 00:01:34.000
in this clubby little group of Where is Bill.
23
00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:34.719
Now in the library?
24
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:35.400
He hates crowd.
25
00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:35.760
You know it?
26
00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:42.000
Well, he wanted to be alone.
27
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:42.840
I find out.
28
00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:48.079
Well, I think it's in the library, Charles.
29
00:01:48.439 --> 00:01:52.760
Well, he's wanting to get a doctor.
30
00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:56.879
Somebody I fed a detective.
31
00:01:56.920 --> 00:01:59.519
I'd say he tried to bump himself off and miss.
32
00:01:59.719 --> 00:02:03.959
Charles Bill, it does look like attempted suicide, doesn't it.
33
00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:06.799
It's so strange.
34
00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:08.840
It's a strange.
35
00:02:09.439 --> 00:02:12.000
Nothing strange about this set up. Old boy got in
36
00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:14.000
your left hand, a bullet hole on your left side.
37
00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:14.680
Pretty neat.
38
00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:17.520
You're enjoying it, Charlie, I can't say that.
39
00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:17.840
I'm not.
40
00:02:18.280 --> 00:02:20.879
I came to suffer through your wedding. Who knows I
41
00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:22.759
might stay and enjoy your funeral?
42
00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:24.759
Really, your sense of humors out of place.
43
00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:28.719
You hate me, Charlie, don't you Boo Black? You never
44
00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:30.280
could stand a guy with brains.
45
00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:30.879
Brains.
46
00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:33.840
Those muscles in your head are so twisted they look
47
00:02:33.919 --> 00:02:34.719
like handcuffs.
48
00:02:34.759 --> 00:02:35.560
Why did you do it?
49
00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:35.879
Bill?
50
00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:38.080
Alright, you've got to believe me. I didn't.
51
00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:41.080
I didn't do it? Oh did build?
52
00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:41.599
Why?
53
00:02:41.879 --> 00:02:42.199
Come on?
54
00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:45.240
William Wilson. We want the straight goods for a change.
55
00:02:45.319 --> 00:02:48.520
But I didn't hate you might die, mister, put your
56
00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:49.199
cards on the.
57
00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:55.879
Table, cards on the table. Hum. He wouldn't believe me
58
00:02:55.919 --> 00:02:58.120
if I told you, none of you would.
59
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:03.319
I started back in college when you and I were
60
00:03:03.400 --> 00:03:08.039
rooming together the fraternity has Charlie. It was one night
61
00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:11.120
you were sitting at the desk studying, and I was
62
00:03:11.199 --> 00:03:12.000
trying to shave.
63
00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:15.599
I was peering in the mirror at myself.
64
00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:20.400
Why are you getting so slicked up? The old boy
65
00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:22.560
got a date Billy Maysfield.
66
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:24.199
Cute little sent thing, isn't she?
67
00:03:24.479 --> 00:03:26.199
Oh Bill, she's not your type.
68
00:03:26.639 --> 00:03:27.599
She's good for laughs.
69
00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:29.400
You don't need laughs every night.
70
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:30.960
What would you suggest?
71
00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:33.919
Oh, gee, Bill, if I had your dough, I'd well,
72
00:03:33.960 --> 00:03:36.280
I'd work hard at college and meet a nice girl
73
00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:38.400
and think about getting married out.
74
00:03:39.159 --> 00:03:40.240
I almost cut myself.
75
00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:42.680
Oh I mean it, go about getting married, Bill.
76
00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:45.560
So you mean it? What do you want me to
77
00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:46.599
do bury myself?
78
00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:49.960
Oh? No, but Gean, take take me for instance.
79
00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:52.719
I know I'm a dope, but I got just enough
80
00:03:52.759 --> 00:03:54.039
money to see me through college.
81
00:03:54.080 --> 00:03:56.080
Yeah, I know, the three thousand dollars your old man
82
00:03:56.199 --> 00:03:58.960
left you. You're a boob to spend it in this place,
83
00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:01.199
you'll wind up with a bank account and a dirty
84
00:04:01.199 --> 00:04:02.960
piece of parchment to show for your trouble.
85
00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:05.560
You've got the wrong slant on life, Bill.
86
00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:09.039
I have listen stupid. You've been seeing our Saint Claire
87
00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:12.400
for three years now. She's alive with money. If you'd
88
00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:14.439
get on to yourself, you'd bring the question, put her
89
00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:16.639
in double what lock and get your fingers on that money.
90
00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:20.120
I'm in love with Aura, Bill, love love, love rot.
91
00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:22.000
I'd never touch a cent of her money.
92
00:04:22.199 --> 00:04:25.759
You're crazy, Charlie. Well, boy, I don't want to be late.
93
00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:29.560
Hey hey, Bill, uh, have you met the new boy
94
00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:30.040
in the house?
95
00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:30.920
What new boy?
96
00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:32.680
A freshman just came in today?
97
00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:34.959
Sounds fascinating? What about it?
98
00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:37.639
Oh? Nothing except he's got the same moon you have.
99
00:04:38.439 --> 00:04:39.160
Are you kidding?
100
00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:39.720
No?
101
00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:41.319
I just thought you'd be interested.
102
00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:44.879
There can't be too William Wilson's. If there is, there
103
00:04:44.920 --> 00:04:45.759
won't be for long.
104
00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:49.560
Boy, What an ego you'll have, the great Scott Feller.
105
00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:51.959
You waste more time talking than you do anything else.
106
00:04:52.040 --> 00:04:53.600
Yeah, which all adds up to the fact that you
107
00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:55.959
want me to stay home and study tonight. That ain't
108
00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:59.600
doing Charlie. I got a date with my dolly night.
109
00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:04.120
That was the first time I ever heard of the
110
00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:08.120
other William Wilson. Knowledge did he exists? And rankled in
111
00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:11.720
my soul that evening. As I stepped out into the
112
00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:14.560
hall and walked halfway down the stairs, I was stopped
113
00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:18.720
by my double. He looked just like me, rather like
114
00:05:18.759 --> 00:05:22.360
a poor imitation. I felt from the first that he
115
00:05:22.439 --> 00:05:25.839
was my evil genius. He didn't act like a freshman
116
00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:26.240
when he.
117
00:05:26.199 --> 00:05:30.759
Said, Hello, I've been waiting for you here in the hall.
118
00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:33.480
You've been waiting for me. Who are you?
119
00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:40.000
I'm your namesake. You can call me Wilson. There's nobody
120
00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:43.160
home at the fraternity house except you and me and Charlie.
121
00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:45.759
I thought it would be a good chance to get
122
00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:46.480
acquainted with you.
123
00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:49.199
I'm sorry, I'm busy to hell. Where do you get
124
00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:49.959
that bill stuff?
125
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:52.480
It might be worthwhile getting acquainted with me.
126
00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:54.480
What do you want anyway?
127
00:05:54.519 --> 00:05:57.120
I'll walk you down the stairs. I'll trouble yourself, Wilson.
128
00:05:57.480 --> 00:05:59.839
You might be better off never knowing I might be
129
00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:02.839
say that. I said, see you some other time, Wilson.
130
00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:04.720
Charlie.
131
00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:06.279
Something I can do for you, lady?
132
00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:08.879
Oh yes, I'm Orison Claire. I promised to call for
133
00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:09.800
Charlie vernon tonight.
134
00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:10.839
What'd you calling for me?
135
00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:12.279
You're or Saint Clair?
136
00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:13.800
Oh he is?
137
00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:16.800
Well? Uh, all right?
138
00:06:18.279 --> 00:06:19.959
Would you tell Charlie I'm here?
139
00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:24.319
Well, I would if I could, but he's not in.
140
00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:25.920
Oh but he'd promise you.
141
00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:29.160
Imagine him forgetting a date with a nice girl like you.
142
00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:31.439
Oh that's strange.
143
00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:32.879
Do you know where he is?
144
00:06:33.839 --> 00:06:37.879
Yeah? I mean well, geemus, Saint Clair. I don't think
145
00:06:37.879 --> 00:06:38.519
I ought to tell you?
146
00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:41.439
Is he out with another girl?
147
00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:44.839
Well, now that you've guessed that, I guess I'll have
148
00:06:44.879 --> 00:06:45.480
to say yes.
149
00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:49.240
I see I'm sorry.
150
00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:51.120
I don't look like that. Suppose I see you home?
151
00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:53.160
That's not necessary, be a pleasure.
152
00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:56.240
I do anything for Charlie. Come on, Bill, is that
153
00:06:56.399 --> 00:06:57.160
you again? Will say?
154
00:06:57.240 --> 00:06:59.800
Yes? It's me Bill. Don't you think you ought to
155
00:06:59.800 --> 00:07:01.120
stay around here this evening?
156
00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:02.600
Don't you think you want to mind your own Painess?
157
00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:04.680
Maybe you are my business?
158
00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:09.120
What stop ribbing me, fella, I don't like it. Come
159
00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:11.639
on in to Saint Clair, thank you, and I'll have
160
00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:12.600
a lot to talk about.
161
00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:16.560
This is awfully nice of you. What I don't even
162
00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:17.120
know your name?
163
00:07:17.399 --> 00:07:20.240
William Wilson. Don't forget that, my sweet though one and
164
00:07:20.360 --> 00:07:26.519
only William Wilson. That's how I met a. We spent
165
00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:28.240
the entire evening together, Charlie.
166
00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:32.120
We had a lot of laughs as well past midnight
167
00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:35.360
when we said good night to each other and I
168
00:07:35.399 --> 00:07:37.319
was about to go home when I remembered that I
169
00:07:37.360 --> 00:07:39.759
hadn't even called Dolly Macefield to tell her I couldn't
170
00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:43.199
make it. Knowing Dolly's temperament, I decided to drop up
171
00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:44.879
to her apartment, even though it was late.
172
00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:47.319
I knocked on the apartment door.
173
00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:55.439
Well, well, look what the breeze brought in?
174
00:07:55.759 --> 00:07:56.759
Mister heartbreak?
175
00:07:57.199 --> 00:07:59.560
Aren't you gonna even ask me in? I don't never
176
00:07:59.639 --> 00:08:01.600
talk to you again. That's what Who do you think
177
00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:01.879
you are?
178
00:08:02.079 --> 00:08:02.959
Mister king Osia?
179
00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:04.000
Oh that's the way you fail.
180
00:08:04.199 --> 00:08:09.160
Wait a minute, come on in, Bill, I've been worried
181
00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:09.959
stiff about you.
182
00:08:10.319 --> 00:08:14.600
That's more like my doll. Baby got a kiss for me?
183
00:08:14.959 --> 00:08:17.240
Sure? I got a kiss for you?
184
00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:19.079
Oh?
185
00:08:19.160 --> 00:08:21.040
Bill, I love you so much.
186
00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:34.639
There, Dolly, there, where were your Bill? Where was I?
187
00:08:34.799 --> 00:08:35.480
Don't you trust me?
188
00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:35.799
Dolly?
189
00:08:36.440 --> 00:08:36.759
Sure?
190
00:08:36.799 --> 00:08:37.480
I trust you.
191
00:08:38.519 --> 00:08:41.960
I had something important to attend to come and give
192
00:08:42.039 --> 00:08:46.080
us a smile there. I like to see you smile, Dolly.
193
00:08:46.559 --> 00:08:47.240
I like it a lot.
194
00:08:47.519 --> 00:08:49.120
I do most anything for you. Bill.
195
00:08:49.720 --> 00:08:51.320
I'm glad to hear that, because I'm going to ask
196
00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:52.279
your favorite.
197
00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:52.840
Anything you want.
198
00:08:53.440 --> 00:08:54.840
I want you to stay away from me from now.
199
00:08:54.840 --> 00:08:56.519
I'm baby you and I throw.
200
00:08:57.840 --> 00:08:59.159
Oh, Bill, what are you talking about?
201
00:08:59.600 --> 00:09:03.240
Don't with me, no joke. I'm serious. Give me to
202
00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:04.240
you right from the shoulder.
203
00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:04.480
Kid.
204
00:09:04.879 --> 00:09:07.320
But you're joking, are you? No?
205
00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:07.960
I'm not.
206
00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:12.080
I found the girl I want to marry. She's class, Dolly,
207
00:09:12.200 --> 00:09:14.120
real class, with plenty of money.
208
00:09:14.679 --> 00:09:17.399
You get me, he'll ever marry her, Bill, She'll find
209
00:09:17.399 --> 00:09:19.960
out what a cheap four flush you are. I'll teller.
210
00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:22.320
I'll tell her a lot of things about you. You
211
00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:24.600
pretending to have so much money and borrowing for me
212
00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:27.039
all the time, pretending to be such a big shout,
213
00:09:27.080 --> 00:09:29.679
and you got holes in your shoes, shooting off your mouth.
214
00:09:30.759 --> 00:09:33.720
Shut up, Dolly, before I make you shut up. Nobody's
215
00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:37.000
going to tell anybody anything, that is if you're smart,
216
00:09:38.320 --> 00:09:44.519
and I think you are. Okay, I know what everybody
217
00:09:44.559 --> 00:09:47.279
thinks of me. But I made up my mind to
218
00:09:47.320 --> 00:09:50.679
marry Aura. Nobody was going to stop me. I saw
219
00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:52.840
or every day and every night after that for the
220
00:09:52.879 --> 00:09:58.080
next three weeks things went according to plan. I thought
221
00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:02.720
I was rid of Dolly Maysfield good until you remember
222
00:10:02.759 --> 00:10:05.080
that night, Charlie, you and I and Wilson were sitting
223
00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:07.120
around the living room or the fraternity has you in
224
00:10:07.159 --> 00:10:11.440
the fat. It's all Wilson's fault. I knew from the
225
00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:14.440
first time I saw him he was my evil genius.
226
00:10:15.080 --> 00:10:19.159
And you were saying, I just can't understand it.
227
00:10:19.240 --> 00:10:22.240
Bill. I've been calling all every night, but she won't
228
00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:22.679
talk to me.
229
00:10:23.120 --> 00:10:24.600
Yeah, that's how women are, Charlie.
230
00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:26.200
Why don't you tell him? Why?
231
00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:26.480
Bill?
232
00:10:26.559 --> 00:10:29.120
Keep out of this, Wilson. It won't make any difference now.
233
00:10:29.039 --> 00:10:30.200
Said, mind your own business.
234
00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:31.600
You are my business.
235
00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:33.759
Bill. What are you talking about? Wilson?
236
00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:36.360
Ask Bill why you never saw Aura the night she
237
00:10:36.480 --> 00:10:38.799
was to call for you? Ask him?
238
00:10:40.200 --> 00:10:43.919
Go on, Charlie, Bill, what did Bill have to do
239
00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:44.360
with her?
240
00:10:44.600 --> 00:10:46.799
What difference does that make? Now it's all over and
241
00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:50.240
done with. I was not interested in you anymore, Charlie.
242
00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:51.759
She told me so herself.
243
00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:57.919
You you dirty, double crossound Charlie and cool? Or why
244
00:10:57.919 --> 00:11:00.639
don't you write or a letter and tell the truth?
245
00:11:00.799 --> 00:11:01.039
Child?
246
00:11:02.519 --> 00:11:03.200
What's the use?
247
00:11:04.559 --> 00:11:07.440
But I'll get even with you someday, Bill Wilson, don't
248
00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:08.159
think I won't.
249
00:11:10.200 --> 00:11:13.080
I'll answered, and you'll make a good door man. Wilson.
250
00:11:14.399 --> 00:11:16.159
I told you, Charlie, to grab the girl while you
251
00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:16.759
had the chance.
252
00:11:17.240 --> 00:11:18.600
You didn't tell me you were going to stick a
253
00:11:18.679 --> 00:11:19.519
knife in my back.
254
00:11:19.799 --> 00:11:21.720
The smart guy gets what he wants in this world.
255
00:11:23.440 --> 00:11:24.799
You have to be smart like me.
256
00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:27.120
Bill.
257
00:11:27.720 --> 00:11:29.960
Oh Bill, Well, look who's here? If it isn't the
258
00:11:30.039 --> 00:11:31.879
doll Baby yourself? Hello?
259
00:11:32.000 --> 00:11:35.440
Bill, Hello, Dolly, meet the boys. This is Charlie Vernon
260
00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:38.039
the Dormond is my double. William Wilson.
261
00:11:38.320 --> 00:11:41.960
Hello. How do you tell you what I'll do for you? Charlie.
262
00:11:42.000 --> 00:11:43.720
I'll give you the doll baby here in exchange for
263
00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:45.159
or How is that that's fair?
264
00:11:45.879 --> 00:11:49.759
You make a man sick, Bill, Bill, Bill, I got
265
00:11:49.759 --> 00:11:50.840
to see you.
266
00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:54.639
I mean, I told you not to bother me anymore.
267
00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:57.159
Oh please, Bill, if you've any pity.
268
00:11:56.919 --> 00:12:03.279
Pity, sure, I got pity. Where we go anywhere?
269
00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:03.759
You say?
270
00:12:03.799 --> 00:12:04.039
Bill?
271
00:12:04.759 --> 00:12:08.559
How about the river? M how about a nice walk
272
00:12:08.639 --> 00:12:09.279
down to the river.
273
00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:13.039
Sure, Bill, that's a good place for what I want.
274
00:12:13.799 --> 00:12:15.639
That's just about perfect.
275
00:12:51.320 --> 00:12:55.480
He walked down to the river, Dolly and I Fred Tucker.
276
00:12:55.759 --> 00:12:58.720
She was silent that night, and I knew she had
277
00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:02.759
more upper sleeve than her white arm. We got to
278
00:13:02.840 --> 00:13:05.720
the edge of the river, we sat down to watch
279
00:13:05.759 --> 00:13:06.679
the boat steam by.
280
00:13:09.919 --> 00:13:10.200
Bill.
281
00:13:10.799 --> 00:13:14.000
I can't live without you, So what, I'm gonna give
282
00:13:14.039 --> 00:13:16.639
you one last chance, Bill, to be a decent guy.
283
00:13:16.840 --> 00:13:19.559
You're gonna give me a chance? What a laugh?
284
00:13:19.639 --> 00:13:22.000
Oh, Bill, don't you know what you're doing to yourself.
285
00:13:22.360 --> 00:13:24.360
You're trying to marry a girl that ain't for you.
286
00:13:25.200 --> 00:13:27.080
He once told me that you and me was cut
287
00:13:27.080 --> 00:13:30.000
from the same piece of cloth. We are cut from
288
00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:32.639
the same piece of clothes. Here are no good bum
289
00:13:32.720 --> 00:13:36.320
but I love you. Oh, we could help each other.
290
00:13:36.519 --> 00:13:38.600
You could go straight and be honest and hide and
291
00:13:38.600 --> 00:13:40.440
work right with you every inch of away.
292
00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:43.320
Nobody else to do that for you, Bill, What do
293
00:13:43.320 --> 00:13:45.240
you expect me to do? Check twenty million dollars into
294
00:13:45.279 --> 00:13:48.080
the lake for you. Listen, Dolly, don't try any trick
295
00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:48.480
to sail.
296
00:13:48.600 --> 00:13:51.639
Please, please, don't fit into the picture anymore. Don't you
297
00:13:51.679 --> 00:13:51.960
get it?
298
00:13:52.039 --> 00:13:53.000
Oh? What'll I do?
299
00:13:53.120 --> 00:13:56.039
Who cares? Why don't you kill yourself? Make it easier
300
00:13:56.080 --> 00:13:56.840
all the way around?
301
00:13:57.559 --> 00:13:58.320
You wouldn't care.
302
00:13:58.559 --> 00:13:59.799
It's on your a dozen posies.
303
00:14:00.039 --> 00:14:01.559
If I jumped in the river, you wouldn't care.
304
00:14:01.679 --> 00:14:03.799
Why should I watch me?
305
00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:04.120
Bill?
306
00:14:04.759 --> 00:14:06.600
I don't think any man's as hard as you pretend
307
00:14:06.679 --> 00:14:06.840
to be.
308
00:14:07.879 --> 00:14:08.600
So I'm watching.
309
00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:12.120
You've held me in your arms, you've kissed me, You've
310
00:14:12.159 --> 00:14:14.279
said you loved me. Doesn't that mean anything?
311
00:14:14.559 --> 00:14:16.559
It did when I said it. I guess you're can
312
00:14:16.679 --> 00:14:18.000
ever tell what a guy's gonna say?
313
00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:19.639
Can you really watch me, Bill?
314
00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:22.840
Even though I love I can watch anything, Baby, when
315
00:14:22.840 --> 00:14:25.200
I'm sitting on twenty million dollars, watch me, Bill?
316
00:14:25.799 --> 00:14:27.960
What I a fool? Jump and get it over with.
317
00:14:28.200 --> 00:14:29.000
You can't bluff me.
318
00:14:29.320 --> 00:14:31.399
I love your Bill, don't forget that.
319
00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:35.960
I get.
320
00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:38.879
I was good choice kid.
321
00:14:39.320 --> 00:14:41.679
You'll pick your grave not dying it.
322
00:14:44.399 --> 00:14:48.120
Nice work, William Wilson, Nice work.
323
00:14:48.360 --> 00:14:49.200
What are you doing here?
324
00:14:49.320 --> 00:14:52.519
I tried to follow you. I have a feeling I'm
325
00:14:52.559 --> 00:14:56.919
a little late. She wanted to kill herself. I wasn't
326
00:14:56.960 --> 00:15:00.840
thinking about DOLLI, Bill, I was thinking about you.
327
00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:03.320
Don't give me that stuff, Wilson. I don't go for it.
328
00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:07.159
I'm always thinking about you, Bill, But you're too smart
329
00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:10.519
to allow anybody to help you. And I'm afraid it's
330
00:15:10.559 --> 00:15:12.960
too late for you to help yourself. Cut it out,
331
00:15:13.320 --> 00:15:16.279
cut it out, Let me worry about my own soul.
332
00:15:17.120 --> 00:15:18.879
If it's damned, then I'll be the one to suffer,
333
00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:19.840
Not you, Not you.
334
00:15:22.639 --> 00:15:26.679
Dolly was dead. Nobody knew about it except Wilson. I
335
00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:29.360
knew he wouldn't tell. At least I thought he wouldn't.
336
00:15:30.120 --> 00:15:33.840
I don't know why, but I just knew. There was
337
00:15:33.879 --> 00:15:35.639
only one other person in the way of my plan.
338
00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:37.000
That was you, Charlie.
339
00:15:37.480 --> 00:15:38.840
You were in the way, and I had to get
340
00:15:38.879 --> 00:15:41.759
rid of you. It took me some time to plan
341
00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:46.159
the right attack. It was right after mid years. Remember, Oh,
342
00:15:46.200 --> 00:15:49.960
could I forget? I was alone in the room with you, Charlie.
343
00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:52.759
I was toying with a deck of cards.
344
00:15:54.039 --> 00:15:55.639
Stop that shuffling, will you, Bill?
345
00:15:55.759 --> 00:15:58.039
I gotta shuffle him, gotta play some two handed start
346
00:15:58.080 --> 00:15:58.600
with Wilson.
347
00:15:58.720 --> 00:16:00.000
I'm nervous enough waiting for them.
348
00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:02.799
Did your report? You'll pass. Don't worry.
349
00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:04.960
If I don't pass, what happens to me?
350
00:16:05.039 --> 00:16:08.759
Then I got one thousand dollars left, not enough to
351
00:16:08.759 --> 00:16:11.000
pay for any full year's course anywhere in the country.
352
00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:12.519
What makes you so sure you're flunk?
353
00:16:13.159 --> 00:16:13.840
You know why?
354
00:16:14.519 --> 00:16:16.120
Still thinking of horror?
355
00:16:16.480 --> 00:16:20.120
Sure, I'm still thinking of her day and night. There
356
00:16:20.200 --> 00:16:22.919
wasn't there a decent cord in you somewhere? Why don't
357
00:16:22.960 --> 00:16:24.559
you go to Orr and tell her the truth?
358
00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:27.039
Why don't you?
359
00:16:28.159 --> 00:16:29.720
Hello, Charlie? How are you?
360
00:16:29.759 --> 00:16:31.200
Bill? It's about time he got.
361
00:16:31.039 --> 00:16:33.759
Here, Wilson. Sorry, Bill, I hate to keep you waiting.
362
00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:36.240
Have a s What do you want to play for it?
363
00:16:36.320 --> 00:16:37.360
Name your own figure?
364
00:16:37.919 --> 00:16:39.480
Well, how about a five dollar limit?
365
00:16:39.519 --> 00:16:40.039
Good enough?
366
00:16:40.679 --> 00:16:43.159
I want to sit in on a hand, Charlie. No thanks,
367
00:16:43.200 --> 00:16:45.840
I couldn't damus stud. It'd be good for it. Take
368
00:16:45.840 --> 00:16:47.000
your mind off your troubles.
369
00:16:47.080 --> 00:16:48.600
All the stakes are sort of high.
370
00:16:48.720 --> 00:16:51.240
Or maybe i'll win some money. Heaven knows you need it.
371
00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:54.519
Okay, Well I might sit in for a while.
372
00:16:54.879 --> 00:16:57.840
Cut for deal, vernon. It might bring you some luck.
373
00:17:05.119 --> 00:17:06.640
Don't you ever lose? Bill?
374
00:17:06.920 --> 00:17:09.640
Not very often? Oh boy, not very often? Want to
375
00:17:09.640 --> 00:17:10.920
bet again, easy, Charlie.
376
00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:13.920
Quit now you've still got six hundred dollars left?
377
00:17:13.960 --> 00:17:16.640
Oh? I can't quit now, I can't. I tell you
378
00:17:16.640 --> 00:17:17.240
I gotta win.
379
00:17:17.839 --> 00:17:18.400
I got it.
380
00:17:19.240 --> 00:17:20.759
Let's double the stakes.
381
00:17:20.559 --> 00:17:27.720
Double it, triple it anyway you want, Charlie, old boy.
382
00:17:31.519 --> 00:17:32.119
Three o'clock.
383
00:17:32.160 --> 00:17:34.759
Bill, It's not up to me to quit. I'm the winner.
384
00:17:35.119 --> 00:17:38.440
It's up to Charlie. How about it, Charlie.
385
00:17:38.759 --> 00:17:42.480
I haven't got much choice, have I. I'm flat busted.
386
00:17:42.839 --> 00:17:45.480
Now. That's tough luck, Charlie. That's real tough luck.
387
00:17:45.559 --> 00:17:49.880
You've got my girl, You've got my money, You've got everything.
388
00:17:49.920 --> 00:17:52.160
Haven't your bill just everything?
389
00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:56.160
You shouldn't gamble if you can't afford it. Come on, Charlie,
390
00:17:56.519 --> 00:18:00.680
I got that checked for the full m out dollars.
391
00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:02.680
I haven't got that much money in the world, and
392
00:18:02.680 --> 00:18:03.240
you know it.
393
00:18:03.839 --> 00:18:06.720
Give me a thousand, then I'll take an option on
394
00:18:06.759 --> 00:18:08.279
that empty solo ears for the rest.
395
00:18:09.559 --> 00:18:10.599
That's a medic going to welch.
396
00:18:11.160 --> 00:18:13.359
I don't welch. Where's the pin?
397
00:18:13.920 --> 00:18:17.599
There it is, Charlie, don't get sore, give it me
398
00:18:19.640 --> 00:18:20.960
take it that nice and clear.
399
00:18:21.039 --> 00:18:21.400
Huh.
400
00:18:21.920 --> 00:18:26.680
That's a boy. Here you are, thanks, Charlie. Where are
401
00:18:26.680 --> 00:18:27.680
you going, Charlie?
402
00:18:27.880 --> 00:18:30.759
As far away from here as I can get. I'm
403
00:18:30.759 --> 00:18:34.680
gonna get a job, a good, honest job. Someday I'll
404
00:18:34.680 --> 00:18:38.559
be back and I won't forget you, Bill. I'll never
405
00:18:38.640 --> 00:18:43.079
forget you, no matter how long I live. Someday I'm
406
00:18:43.079 --> 00:18:43.720
gonna get even.
407
00:18:43.759 --> 00:18:45.359
Keep your shirt on, Charlie.
408
00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:46.720
If you will pardon me. You're not.
409
00:18:49.480 --> 00:18:52.359
Nice work Bill keeping an even score?
410
00:18:53.079 --> 00:18:54.359
What are you talking about, Wilson?
411
00:18:54.359 --> 00:18:57.359
The three aces up your sleeve and the cards from
412
00:18:57.400 --> 00:18:58.319
the bottom of the deck.
413
00:18:59.279 --> 00:19:00.680
If you saw me, why didn't you tell it?
414
00:19:00.880 --> 00:19:04.839
I don't have to. Other eyes are watching you beside me,
415
00:19:06.079 --> 00:19:11.799
many other eyes, eyes that keep the records of our lives.
416
00:19:12.920 --> 00:19:13.119
Sorr.
417
00:19:13.160 --> 00:19:17.119
I cheated you, Charlie. You didn't even know it. He
418
00:19:17.240 --> 00:19:20.319
left town and it was clear sailing for me all
419
00:19:20.359 --> 00:19:24.960
the way. Yeah, it's clear sailing right to the altar,
420
00:19:25.720 --> 00:19:27.640
at least most of the altar.
421
00:19:27.839 --> 00:19:31.279
Except for one thing. What you didn't know, Bill, one
422
00:19:31.359 --> 00:19:34.599
little thing. I left the fraternity house that night, but
423
00:19:34.640 --> 00:19:37.440
I didn't leave town. I went to Ora's house and
424
00:19:37.480 --> 00:19:39.119
I told her the full story.
425
00:19:40.119 --> 00:19:43.039
Charlie, this isn't a new story to me all along.
426
00:19:43.079 --> 00:19:45.960
I've known Bill's pretty rotten. But I'm in love with him.
427
00:19:47.000 --> 00:19:48.400
I'm horribly in love with him.
428
00:19:49.440 --> 00:19:50.160
Do you know what I mean?
429
00:19:50.920 --> 00:19:52.559
Yes, I know exactly what you mean.
430
00:19:52.920 --> 00:19:56.480
I'm fascinated by him, and yet there's something almost appalling
431
00:19:56.480 --> 00:20:01.519
about him. He's crude and earthy. How can I make
432
00:20:01.559 --> 00:20:02.200
you understand?
433
00:20:03.079 --> 00:20:04.359
I think I understand, Laura.
434
00:20:04.880 --> 00:20:07.160
Sometimes I wish I've never met him, you would have
435
00:20:07.200 --> 00:20:11.119
been better off. And then again, I die without him, Charlie,
436
00:20:12.079 --> 00:20:15.119
that's my answer. I'm so sorry, my dear.
437
00:20:16.279 --> 00:20:20.519
It's all right, Urrah Someday. I'll be back when you
438
00:20:20.640 --> 00:20:24.160
need me. I don't mind being an old shoe for you.
439
00:20:25.200 --> 00:20:25.799
I'll be back.
440
00:20:25.839 --> 00:20:28.519
And I hope you've gotten over him by that.
441
00:20:30.920 --> 00:20:33.319
That was a right touching scene.
442
00:20:33.599 --> 00:20:37.160
Yeah, maybe you still got a chance, Charlie, if that
443
00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:38.440
doctor doesn't get it soon.
444
00:20:38.680 --> 00:20:42.200
But you still haven't told me who still? What happened tonight?
445
00:20:43.799 --> 00:20:48.960
Well, I graduated from college and you and I became engaged,
446
00:20:50.240 --> 00:20:52.640
and you sent out the invitations to this ball tonight,
447
00:20:52.920 --> 00:20:56.039
to all my old friends, even to Wilson, the one
448
00:20:56.079 --> 00:20:59.839
man I didn't want to see. I was standing in
449
00:20:59.880 --> 00:21:03.799
the ballroom a little while ago, watching you are when
450
00:21:03.839 --> 00:21:07.039
Wilson beckoned to me he was in the doorway of
451
00:21:07.039 --> 00:21:10.920
the library. Somehow or other, I felt drawn to it.
452
00:21:12.839 --> 00:21:15.640
He had to go there, even though I didn't want to.
453
00:21:17.400 --> 00:21:19.480
I walked in, closed the door behind me.
454
00:21:21.039 --> 00:21:22.640
Hello, Bill, what do you want?
455
00:21:23.039 --> 00:21:24.200
You know what I've come for?
456
00:21:24.799 --> 00:21:25.839
All right? You turn on the lights?
457
00:21:25.920 --> 00:21:27.680
Are you afraid of the dark? Bill?
458
00:21:28.240 --> 00:21:29.200
What are you talking about?
459
00:21:29.200 --> 00:21:32.200
Wilson. The world you know will be dark forever.
460
00:21:32.920 --> 00:21:34.039
Are you trying to threaten me?
461
00:21:34.119 --> 00:21:37.960
I don't think I have to threaten you. You threaten
462
00:21:38.039 --> 00:21:39.799
yourself by your mere existence.
463
00:21:40.640 --> 00:21:44.880
Who are you anyway? William Wilson, don't you know?
464
00:21:45.119 --> 00:21:45.400
Bill?
465
00:21:46.759 --> 00:21:47.920
Stop looking at me that way.
466
00:21:48.480 --> 00:21:53.279
Think back, Bill, think back a long way.
467
00:21:54.119 --> 00:21:58.039
Remember Dolly, I don't want to die, Bill, I just
468
00:21:58.079 --> 00:21:58.720
want to threaten.
469
00:21:59.319 --> 00:22:00.279
I don't want to die.
470
00:22:00.799 --> 00:22:05.400
I love you. Remember her screams and your laugh. Remember
471
00:22:05.480 --> 00:22:06.519
what Charlie said.
472
00:22:06.759 --> 00:22:10.079
You'll pay for the Sunday, Bill, You'll pay for it.
473
00:22:10.240 --> 00:22:14.920
I warn you. I've warned you many times, and I
474
00:22:15.119 --> 00:22:18.400
never told on you. You know why.
475
00:22:18.759 --> 00:22:19.559
I don't care why?
476
00:22:19.559 --> 00:22:23.880
I think hard? Bill Wilson, think hard. I'm the only
477
00:22:23.920 --> 00:22:28.119
one who knows the truth. I'm the only one who
478
00:22:28.240 --> 00:22:35.319
stands between you and success. William Wilson. You carry a gun,
479
00:22:36.160 --> 00:22:36.839
don't you, Bill?
480
00:22:38.599 --> 00:22:40.640
Don't you? What's the difference? If I do?
481
00:22:41.960 --> 00:22:46.160
Why don't you kill me? Then nobody will know?
482
00:22:47.759 --> 00:22:47.799
You?
483
00:22:48.319 --> 00:22:48.839
Love you?
484
00:22:49.119 --> 00:22:51.240
Hate you? Love you? Hate you.
485
00:22:51.440 --> 00:22:52.440
Yes, I will kill you.
486
00:22:53.240 --> 00:22:53.640
I will.
487
00:22:54.359 --> 00:22:55.799
That can only be one, William Wilson.
488
00:22:59.319 --> 00:23:03.799
There's never being more than one. William Wilson.
489
00:23:04.759 --> 00:23:09.680
I'm wounded huh, I aim the gun at you. But
490
00:23:09.799 --> 00:23:23.200
you're Wilson. Wilson, Wilson, where are you? What's I'm a woman? Oh?
491
00:23:23.039 --> 00:23:25.799
No, No, I couldn't have dreamed it couldn't.
492
00:23:26.200 --> 00:23:26.839
I couldn't.
493
00:23:29.519 --> 00:23:33.319
That's the entire story. You don't have to believe me,
494
00:23:33.559 --> 00:23:34.440
but it's the truth.
495
00:23:34.839 --> 00:23:35.480
Here's the doctor.
496
00:23:35.519 --> 00:23:35.720
Bill.
497
00:23:36.640 --> 00:23:39.039
Just lie still, Son, don't try to move.
498
00:23:39.079 --> 00:23:41.599
Hey, I don't feel sick, doctor, I'm just stiff, sort
499
00:23:41.640 --> 00:23:43.559
of sort of paralyzed, you know what I mean?
500
00:23:44.079 --> 00:23:44.440
Look at this?
501
00:23:45.160 --> 00:23:49.920
Mm hmm, Hey, doctor, how bad? Am I?
502
00:23:50.200 --> 00:23:51.960
Just lie still?
503
00:23:53.039 --> 00:23:56.839
Think there's a sudden plain, doctor Pang. I felt fine
504
00:23:56.880 --> 00:23:57.440
before him, but.
505
00:23:59.440 --> 00:24:00.240
He h.
506
00:24:02.039 --> 00:24:05.200
I'm afraid it's too late. The bullet lodging in his
507
00:24:05.319 --> 00:24:07.440
heart and the exertion of talking was too.
508
00:24:07.359 --> 00:24:07.920
Much for him.
509
00:24:08.440 --> 00:24:09.880
If he hadn't talked, doctor.
510
00:24:10.400 --> 00:24:12.960
No, my dear, he must have had a lot on
511
00:24:13.039 --> 00:24:15.039
his conscience to have held up this long.
512
00:24:20.640 --> 00:24:26.920
William Wilson, I'm waiting for you. Come along, Bill, Wilson.
513
00:24:28.200 --> 00:24:29.160
What are you doing here?
514
00:24:29.400 --> 00:24:34.279
Just waiting for you, Bill, waiting so that two halves
515
00:24:34.319 --> 00:24:39.160
of a soul can be re united. Come along, Bill,
516
00:24:40.480 --> 00:24:41.000
take my.
517
00:24:41.079 --> 00:24:49.400
Hand, your hand, so dark here, Wilson, so very dark.
