Speaker 1 (00:10):
Ah, welcome back, my dear, so glad you could join
me yet again. Oh what's that? Oh no, no, no,
just a little redecorating, trying to liven up the place,
just a wee bit. Please please take your seat, get comfortable,

(00:34):
Please please take my favorite chair. While I was waiting around, well,
I found myself ruminating. I feel like that's how we
all get when we clean up around our abode. What's that?
Well maybe, but don't you worry about that? I just

(00:58):
started to wonder as I moved things around, wondering if
you can die again?

Speaker 2 (01:22):
Come in?

Speaker 3 (01:25):
Welcome, Hi am E. G.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
Marshall. Welcome to the sound of suspense, to the fear
you can hear. For the next fifty two minutes, I'll
be your companion on a journey to a place in
the past. It used to be that only the mystics
believe you could go back relive your life. But didn't
so eminent the scientist as Albert Einstein say that the past,

(01:49):
the present, and the future are all intermingled somehow. Well,
why should we question a gentleman named Spencer Chadwick who
is asking a very a vital question, Inspector, do you
believe a person can do it again.

Speaker 3 (02:06):
Do it again?

Speaker 2 (02:07):
Go back where to that point in his life where
it went wrong? It turns sour and corrected. No, No,
I don't believe it's possible. Well, I'm doing it, Inspector.
I'm doing it. I'm changing it. I've gone back, Inspector,
I've gone back. Our mystery drama You Can Die Again,

(02:38):
was especially written by Sam Dam and stars Richard Mulligan.
It is sponsored in part by Anheuser Busch Incorporated brewers
a Budweiser.

Speaker 3 (02:47):
I'll be back shortly with Act.

Speaker 4 (02:49):
One this evening.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
We are concerned with bright young men, that is, those
who began as bright young men like Spencer Chadwick. Bright
Young Spencer Chadwick married his boss's daughter. But that was
twenty three years ago, and today young Spencer has arrived
at comfortable middle age. This morning, he will pick up

(03:23):
his phone and dial the private number of a highly
placed friend.

Speaker 5 (03:31):
She's Inspectata's office. Sergeant, no road.

Speaker 2 (03:33):
Speaking, Sergeant. This is Spencer Chadwick.

Speaker 5 (03:36):
Good morning, mister Chadwick.

Speaker 6 (03:37):
Connect you right away, Spence.

Speaker 3 (03:40):
I hope you're not calling the cancer lock golf day.

Speaker 2 (03:42):
No, no, Martin, I'm I'm calling to tell you, I
murdered my wife.

Speaker 3 (03:51):
I won't believe it, Spence. I can't believe it, Marty.

Speaker 2 (03:54):
Look at her. She's dead.

Speaker 3 (03:55):
I see she's dead, but I won't believe you killed her.

Speaker 5 (03:57):
She's been stabbed.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
Inspector, Yes, Sergeant, yes, and that's the Knight Marty Spencer.
You surely find my fingerprints on it. What's that bruise
on your head? We had a fight. She hit me
with the candlestick, Inspector.

Speaker 6 (04:09):
A glass door here leads to a terrace.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
It's been broken, Spence, an intruder, a thief. Did he
slug you and kill Margaret? No? No, I killed Margaret
at that broken door. She tried to get away. I
dragged her back into the room. Whose places this mine?
I didn't know you had an apartment downtown. I've been
staying with a girl.

Speaker 3 (04:28):
Spence.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
You're talking to me, your closest friend, Marty fire Day.

Speaker 5 (04:31):
Excuse me, Inspector. Shall I start the routine?

Speaker 2 (04:33):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (04:33):
Of course, Angin.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
Are you going to arrest me? Money?

Speaker 3 (04:36):
I have to.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
I'm ready to go now.

Speaker 3 (04:38):
But I'm not ready to go.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
Look.

Speaker 3 (04:40):
I can't believe what you're telling me. I can't even
believe you were cheating on Margaret?

Speaker 2 (04:43):
How can I believe you killed the You've been a
policeman for twenty five years. Money, do you still have illusions?
Faith ideals?

Speaker 3 (04:50):
If I do, it was because of people like you
when Margaret?

Speaker 2 (04:53):
I'm sorry Marty. Look, Spence, is this the way it happened?
You were having an affair? Margaret found out about it,
she came. He had confronted you. One thing led to another,
and you killed her?

Speaker 7 (05:02):
Now?

Speaker 3 (05:03):
Is that the story?

Speaker 2 (05:04):
Yes? Yes, yeah, that's it. Where's the girl? I suppose
she's dead too? You suppose, yes, yes, we can say
she's dead.

Speaker 3 (05:14):
Well, how did she die?

Speaker 2 (05:16):
I killed her?

Speaker 3 (05:18):
When?

Speaker 2 (05:20):
Oh, A long long time ago? A long time Spence,
you're not making any sense. How could you have killed
her a long time ago? If Margaret confronted the two
of you here today? I don't know. I don't know now.
Just arrest me and don't ask me any more questions
I have to ask, Spence. I can't accept what you're
telling me now. Think how could you have killed her
a long time ago? Or did she kill me?

Speaker 3 (05:44):
Spence? Please tell me what happened.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
It doesn't matter.

Speaker 3 (05:47):
If I want to help you, Spence, I'm your friend,
you won't believe me by me just trying me.

Speaker 2 (05:51):
It's even hard for me to believe it. But it's true,
Spencer will when you just sit down and try to
pull things together.

Speaker 3 (05:57):
Tell me what happened?

Speaker 2 (06:00):
What happened? It started one morning. It was three months ago.
I came downstairs. Margaret was at the breakfast.

Speaker 5 (06:13):
Table morning, Darling, Gofie.

Speaker 2 (06:18):
Thanks, yes, an email Margaret, nothing.

Speaker 5 (06:20):
Worth delaying breakfast card from my brother.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
Where is he now?

Speaker 5 (06:24):
He had to put in for a pairs at Pego Pego?

Speaker 2 (06:27):
That's pengo, pengou. When is he coming home?

Speaker 5 (06:30):
Oh, next year maybe, or the year after. When he
gets bored or tired, or needs money or decides to
get a new girlfriend or another boat.

Speaker 2 (06:39):
Then he's thirty eight years old and he'll never get anywhere.
Don't say that. It seems to me he goes everywhere.

Speaker 5 (06:46):
His life and yours, Darling a study in opposites. You
were born poor and you wound up rich. He was
born rich, wound up poor. Dinner tonight with a sadder fields.
What for four? Oh my god, I practice for almost five
minutes before you came down, tossing off what I just

(07:06):
said in an offhand casual way. The dinner with the Sadafields.
This is the cool of the century. A dinner party
at the home of Senator Sadderfield. Ask me how I
did it?

Speaker 2 (07:17):
Why? Why do we want to have dinner with Senator Saddlefield.

Speaker 5 (07:21):
Spence, you asked me to arrange for the invitation.

Speaker 2 (07:24):
I disagree completely with the man's principle.

Speaker 5 (07:27):
We understand all that, but you're the one who decided
to give politics of world.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
When did I decide to do that?

Speaker 5 (07:34):
Well, they say the sign of a really solid marriage,
as if the wife can accept jokes at breakfast? Shall
I remind you of that Chinese or of Indian saying
that you've been spouting lately? M M. A man spends
his first twenty years living for himself, his next twenty
living for his family, and his next twenty living for

(07:56):
his country. It was you who decided dinner is at
seven thirty, black tie to be home early, then end
up listening going why are you looking at me like that?

Speaker 3 (08:13):
Is?

Speaker 5 (08:14):
Is there something wrong?

Speaker 2 (08:17):
Who are you? What did you say? I?

Speaker 3 (08:24):
I said, who are you?

Speaker 2 (08:27):
What are you doing? Now?

Speaker 5 (08:28):
Look? Darling?

Speaker 2 (08:28):
If this is oh no, or what am I doing?

Speaker 5 (08:31):
This is a joke? It's not in the best of takes.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
I'm afraid. I'm afraid I don't know where I am
or who you are.

Speaker 3 (08:39):
Do you know who you are?

Speaker 2 (08:41):
Yes? Yes, I think I know who I am. I'm
Spencer Chadwick.

Speaker 5 (08:44):
All right now listen, sit quietly for just a minute.
I'm going to call doctor Berry.

Speaker 2 (08:48):
Oh please please, I don't want to put you to
any in trouble.

Speaker 5 (08:50):
Don't get up, Spencer, Please don't get Where are you
going home? This is your home, Spencer, Please.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
Don't be alarm? Please, I hope I have frightened you.
I'll leave this minute. You mean that, after twenty three
years of marriage, you look at your wife one morning
and you don't know who she is? Yes, Martin, all right,
you walked out of the house.

Speaker 3 (09:17):
Now where did you go?

Speaker 2 (09:19):
I held a cab?

Speaker 3 (09:25):

Speaker 2 (09:27):

any kind of chance this year?

Speaker 5 (09:45):
All right?

Speaker 2 (09:45):
Let's try politics. You didn't say it feels going to
run again? Where's my old man?

Speaker 3 (09:51):
Would have put it? You wasn't exactly vaccinated.

Speaker 2 (09:53):
Would a photographic needed to drive it? Why are you
headed north? Well, you said to Dr Chadwick. Building is
down on Jefferson Square. I distinctly yes.

Speaker 3 (10:00):
Think he told me nothing.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
What would I be doing in your cab at nine
o'clock in the morning if I didn't intend to go
to my office? Yes, good morning Rose, Oh, good morning.

Speaker 5 (10:17):

Speaker 6 (10:19):
Sitting in your office.

Speaker 2 (10:20):
Doctor Burger, Yes, doctor Burger, come in here, Spence.

Speaker 3 (10:24):
I don't have all day.

Speaker 2 (10:26):
I'll come in and shut the door. May I remind
you that this is my office? Fifteen minutes ago I
received a call from Margaret. Margaret, Is she all right?
How about you?

Speaker 9 (10:37):
I thought it.

Speaker 10 (10:38):
Important enough for me to stop off here on my
way downtown.

Speaker 2 (10:41):
Hold out your wrists. Wait? Why did Margaret coll you?
She told me.

Speaker 10 (10:45):
About that little episode?

Speaker 3 (10:47):

Speaker 2 (10:48):
What little episode? You don't remember saying a certain thing?

Speaker 11 (10:51):
All?

Speaker 2 (10:51):
Please?

Speaker 12 (10:52):
What is this all about? Hall?

Speaker 2 (10:53):
Seems to be a little fast. What am I supposed
to have said to Margaret? I want you to report
to the hospital right now. You can't just walk into
my office and tell me you report to the hospital.
Who says I can't. But what's the matter with me?
I don't know. That's why I'm putting you into the hospital.
What did Margaret tell you that you didn't know who
she was? How could I not know who she was?

(11:19):
Have you had moments when you.

Speaker 10 (11:20):
Didn't know people, or you didn't know where you were
or what you.

Speaker 2 (11:24):
Were doing there? I'll certainly not. I'll level with me, Spencer,
than those things they happen sometimes to everybody. How often
do they happen to you? Well, the incident with Margaret
was that the only one? Well, Spencer, i'll.

Speaker 10 (11:39):
See you with the hospital in thirty minutes.

Speaker 2 (11:49):
You did it? You here, Spence, of course, I'm here.

Speaker 10 (11:51):
I won't keep you an hour longer than necessary, probably
get you up at the end of the day.

Speaker 2 (11:55):
Well, you do what's necessary. That's a good attitude.

Speaker 10 (11:58):
Most of you high power and those types of so
self important start to lecture me.

Speaker 12 (12:03):
I'm here. I agree.

Speaker 2 (12:04):
I need some help.

Speaker 12 (12:05):
Now. Now what's calling is help?

Speaker 10 (12:06):
I am I'm talking to you and I should be
arranging for tests.

Speaker 2 (12:10):
Now. You just relax, listen to some music, read, take
a nap.

Speaker 13 (12:15):
I'll see you, hello, Stencer, Peggy, Everything all right, stance.

Speaker 3 (12:28):

Speaker 5 (12:34):
Give me you're all right?

Speaker 2 (12:35):
Oh yeah, yes, oh yes, yes, I'm certainly all right now.
Oh Peggy, Peggy, I almost lost you.

Speaker 6 (12:45):
How could you lose me?

Speaker 2 (12:46):
It could happen, doctor Burger, Doctor Burger, he could, he
could make it happen, But not now, not anymore. Do
you know why why you called me? Just in time?
You warned me, just in time. And I'm getting out
of here this minute.

Speaker 5 (13:12):
Mister Chadwick.

Speaker 2 (13:13):
Yes, Ruth.

Speaker 5 (13:15):
Aren't you supposed to be at the hospital.

Speaker 2 (13:17):
I'm not supposed to be anywhere except in my office
during the business day.

Speaker 6 (13:20):
Oh, doctor Berger.

Speaker 14 (13:23):
He's been calling just about every five minutes.

Speaker 5 (13:25):
And your wife.

Speaker 6 (13:26):
Shall I get them for you?

Speaker 2 (13:27):
No? No, I left doctor Burger not saying I changed
my mind about the necessity for what we were discussing.
Now tell him I have nothing, dad. Oh yes, sir, Oh,
I call my wife and remind her we have a
dinner date with Senator Saddlefield. And no calls. No calls.
I don't want to talk to anyone, yes, sir, except
except a young lady. She'll call herself. Heyde well for

(13:57):
twenty three years you hum the same tune. And then suddenly,
one morning you hear the music of a different drummer,
a drummer named Peggy, or is she a piper named
Peggy who will have to be paid? We shall return
shortly with that too, And so we have Spencer Chadwick

(14:28):
in complete command, ready to take hold of his life
and run it his own way, starting with his wife.

Speaker 5 (14:35):
Spencer, is that you there's no problem?

Speaker 2 (14:38):
No problem. It's not even a quarter of seven. I
can be dressed and ready to leave in twenty minutes.

Speaker 5 (14:42):
Spencer, there is a problem. You made doctor Berger look
like a fool. Today.

Speaker 2 (14:46):
You read my note.

Speaker 5 (14:47):
It explained that you made yourself look like a fool.
You admitted to the hospital un less than an hour later,
you sneaked out.

Speaker 2 (14:53):
I did not sneak out. I got dressed, went to
the desk and said, I'm leaving some of the bill.

Speaker 5 (14:58):
But Spence, you're not. You should be in the hospital.

Speaker 2 (15:02):
Margaret, Please stop running my life.

Speaker 5 (15:07):
What did you say just now, Spence?

Speaker 2 (15:10):
I'm sure you heard me.

Speaker 5 (15:11):
I wasn't aware that I was running your life. Spencer,
would you be good enough to explain? Can you show
me how.

Speaker 2 (15:20):
You did say? This thing was black?

Speaker 5 (15:21):
Tie, Spencer, I'm entitled to an explanation.

Speaker 2 (15:25):
Of that remark, Margaret. If you can't understand what I'm saying,
how can I explain it? Quite a man, this husband
of yours, missus Chadwick, some brandy, yes, nikey, Senator. We
need men like you in public life. Spence, fellas with

(15:46):
their heads screwed on straight. You know, I have an
opportunity to recommend a man for a presidential advisory commission
on it. I don't think i'd be interested, Senator.

Speaker 10 (15:58):
I like your style, Chadwick. You play hard to get,
but you do it convincingly. The public hats that up.

Speaker 2 (16:05):
No, no, Senator, it's not a pose, you see, sir.
It seems to me that I've spent all my life
working for other people.

Speaker 10 (16:13):
Serving others is the most richly rewarding professional mind can follow.

Speaker 2 (16:18):
That's if he happens to be a selfless person. But
I never saw myself as a manufacturer of farm equipment.
I wanted to study languages, the basic structures of human communication.
Ladmirable calling. Margaret and I were going to leave for
Tibet on a honeymoon, but my father in law became
seriously ill. Somebody had to look after his affairs till
he could get on his feet again. That was twenty

(16:41):
three years ago. He never did get back on his feet,
and I never did get out of his office.

Speaker 10 (16:46):
But you transformed that little factory into the third largest
at Rhino.

Speaker 2 (16:51):
Senator, I know, I know. I did it for my wife,
my in laws, my employees, the Stockholerst. But now, finally,
at length and at last, I'm going into busines is
for myself? What sort of business, the Spencer Chadwick business,
The let's please and amuse and excite and develop and
hands Spencer Chadwick. Thank you for your office, Senata, But

(17:11):
there are many others who are more worthy, not to mention,
more willing.

Speaker 5 (17:23):
Spencer. When did you decide you were no longer interested
in public service?

Speaker 2 (17:29):
Oh, it's been building for a while.

Speaker 5 (17:31):
We'll have to talk.

Speaker 2 (17:33):
Oh about what about what?

Speaker 5 (17:37):
I don't know if this is a pose.

Speaker 2 (17:39):
Margaret, I'm sure I can explain. Now, let's drop in
somewhere for a night.

Speaker 5 (17:43):
Can Now let's get help.

Speaker 15 (17:45):
Now?

Speaker 5 (17:46):
Do you remember what you said to me this morning?
You know you insists you don't recall our little scene
at breakfast.

Speaker 2 (17:54):
No, I'm very sorry.

Speaker 5 (17:56):
You looked at me this morning, you said who are you?
You said it with sincerity and conviction. You meant it.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
Look, I know I may have been by daydreaming.

Speaker 5 (18:09):
No, it was not day dreaming. It was wishful thinking.

Speaker 2 (18:13):
Margaret, What are you saying, Spencer?

Speaker 5 (18:17):
You're having an affair, but please don't deny it.

Speaker 2 (18:22):
But I mind, i'd not.

Speaker 5 (18:23):
It fits in with what doctor Berger told me about
what When you say to me, who are you? It
means you no longer want to know me. You're trying
to wish me out of your life.

Speaker 2 (18:36):
Oh, Margaret, Margaret, I can tell you.

Speaker 5 (18:38):
Listen, Spencer, don't try to insult my intelligence or yours.
And then what just happened at Senator Sarer Fields?

Speaker 7 (18:45):
What just happened?

Speaker 5 (18:46):
Well, suddenly you're no longer interested in public service?

Speaker 2 (18:49):
Why if you heard me talking to him? You know
that finally I want to do things for me.

Speaker 5 (18:54):
But he as much has offered you a post that
you dreamed about, a sensitive post. You could become an
important man nationally. You've spoken about it.

Speaker 2 (19:02):
It doesn't Margaret, Margaret, I no longer care about it.

Speaker 5 (19:05):
Well, of course not, because you've become controversial, make enemies.
And then they try to get something on you, and
now that you're having an affair, you're vulnerable to scare.

Speaker 2 (19:15):
I am not having.

Speaker 5 (19:16):
Don't lie to me. That doesn't makes it worse.

Speaker 3 (19:25):
But you were lying to a Spence. We know you
are lying. We know about Peggy.

Speaker 16 (19:31):
Inspector.

Speaker 14 (19:32):
Yes, sageant, if you'll come into the bedroom, inspector.

Speaker 17 (19:34):
I didn't want to move anything all right, now, sir,
Here are these pictures?

Speaker 5 (19:39):
Are these Peggy?

Speaker 3 (19:41):
Are they Spence?

Speaker 2 (19:43):
Yes?

Speaker 17 (19:44):
Well, sir, if you look at the hairstyle that one
out twenty five years ago.

Speaker 2 (19:49):
I no expert, but these don't look like pictures that
were taking recently.

Speaker 17 (19:52):
And the clothes in the closets, skirts, blouses, dresses, Are
these Peggy's?

Speaker 3 (19:57):
Are they Spence?

Speaker 2 (19:59):
Yes?

Speaker 5 (20:00):
The styles are.

Speaker 2 (20:01):
About twenty five years old.

Speaker 17 (20:02):
Now here's a label in a spirit. It's a Lydia Carter.
She was a designer who was fashionable thirty years ago.

Speaker 3 (20:09):
Well, Spence, tell us, I.

Speaker 2 (20:12):
Can't Why can't you? I don't think I know how,
Never mind how it sounds, just tell it. Martin, did
you ever think you could somehow get a second chance
to do what to live your life over? To answer
your question, no, did you ever think you could go

(20:33):
back to a point in time when you made a
decision which changed everything for you. Will you cross your
own particular rubicon, and if you could go back, start
again and do the thing you really wanted to do?
To answer your question again, No, that's because you never
regretted the cost of your life.

Speaker 3 (20:53):
And you did.

Speaker 2 (20:54):
Are you trying to tell me that you did every
day for twenty three years? All right, Spence, I won't pressure. No, no, no, muddy,
don't put that sympathetic tone in your voice as if
as if you think I'm some kind of nut. Look
you could plead insanity once again, Marty Mardy, I'm not crazy,
temporary and sand not for one minute. I asked you

(21:16):
a question, can you go back? Can you live your
life over again?

Speaker 3 (21:19):
And I gave you my answer, no, but you can.

Speaker 2 (21:22):
You can do it. I did go back, not for long,
but I did go back.

Speaker 3 (21:29):
All right, all right, Spence, you did go back.

Speaker 2 (21:33):
And if I hadn't lost my head, if only I
hadn't killed Margaret, I could have stayed. I could have
started over. Heggy want to go to a movie. No,

(21:53):
I missed the news broadcast. Anything happening?

Speaker 5 (21:55):
They think of war just started.

Speaker 2 (21:57):
Oh come on, Peggy, come on, there are going to
be any more wars. Everybody knows that people may be crazy,
but they're not insane.

Speaker 5 (22:05):
Where I think the man said Korea someplace like that.
Maybe I didn't hear it right.

Speaker 2 (22:11):
Hey, if you don't want to go to the movies,
what do you want to do?

Speaker 5 (22:14):
Sit home?

Speaker 3 (22:16):
Just listen to you.

Speaker 5 (22:18):
Tell me about the trip you're planning.

Speaker 2 (22:21):
Well, first, don't call it a trip. We may never
come back. It may take all our lives. Sign with me,
then we may never find it great.

Speaker 5 (22:29):
What are we looking for?

Speaker 2 (22:30):
The origin of language? For instance, we say brother in English, German, Dutch,
Scandinavians so on, say a form of bruder, same basic
word Latin, Greek frat, The br becomes far Russian obrach.
The differences are all in pronunciation. Okay, How did this
one language spread so far and wide to cover so

(22:52):
many different kinds of people?

Speaker 5 (22:53):
A bite?

Speaker 2 (22:54):
How? That's what I want to find out. And we
will travel and study and research and one day maybe
maybe what this Indo European language. It's only one of
thirty language families. At one time? Was there one single language?
The mother of all was there. I don't know. One
day I hope to find out. Yeah, are you sure

(23:17):
you won't mind scrounging around Europe and Asia?

Speaker 5 (23:19):
Oh? I've been to Europe and day, but now with
a backpack with a sleeping that I'm going to love it.

Speaker 2 (23:25):
Now. One thing must be clearly understood at no time,
regardless of the bind we may find ourselves in, shall
we ever ever under any circumstances? Whia your father for money? Promise?

Speaker 5 (23:37):
I promise, Well, Margaret, where have you been? Spencer?

Speaker 2 (23:50):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (23:50):
Excuse me, I hope that doesn't sound shruish.

Speaker 2 (23:54):
Well, no, no.

Speaker 5 (23:55):
It doesn't, as if I'm trying to run your life.

Speaker 2 (23:58):
Please Margaret cut it out?

Speaker 5 (24:00):
And I ask, is because I had prepared dinner?

Speaker 18 (24:02):
I know?

Speaker 2 (24:03):
Didn't you get my message?

Speaker 7 (24:04):
Yes?

Speaker 5 (24:04):
I did? I got it at eight? Me you have
at seven, the Miller's, the Bronstein's, and the Gladwells arrived. No, no,
the Gladwell's were here at six point thirty. But why
you had asked me to invite them to dinner? And
these are your friends, Spencer?

Speaker 2 (24:19):
I'm sorry, Margaret, I'm sorry.

Speaker 5 (24:21):
Yes, well, if there were people I like, I would
have been humiliated this way. I was merely embarrassed, and
I got through the evening somehow, Spencer, tell me who
is she?

Speaker 2 (24:37):
Margaret? Margaret? Believe me, there.

Speaker 3 (24:39):
Is no one.

Speaker 5 (24:39):
Start with the premise that it's my fault. Somewhere I
must have failed you. I've gone wrong, but I don't
know where, and I don't know how. Tell me, Spence,
tell me Margaret?

Speaker 2 (24:49):
Please? Margaret is Margaret? What?

Speaker 5 (24:52):
Oh Spencer, I've been happy, You've been happy our marriage.
It's it's been the envy of so many of our friends. Oh, darling,
has it been a lie? Have we been living a
lie all these years?

Speaker 2 (25:07):
Do you want the answer?

Speaker 5 (25:09):
I demand an answer.

Speaker 2 (25:10):
The answer is yes, Yes, it's been a lie.

Speaker 5 (25:15):
Who is she? Spence? Who is she?

Speaker 3 (25:25):
Who is she?

Speaker 2 (25:25):
Spencer?

Speaker 3 (25:26):
Who is Peggy?

Speaker 2 (25:27):
I won't tell you, Martin, I should say who was Peggy?

Speaker 6 (25:30):
Inspector?

Speaker 16 (25:31):
Do you remember some time ago you saw missus Chadwick.

Speaker 2 (25:33):
It was on business? I remember, Oh, yes, yes, yes
I do. It had to do with a burglary, Spence,
a burglary in your house. Believe me, Margaret, this is
no mother at.

Speaker 16 (25:45):
All, is he?

Speaker 5 (25:46):
I felt? If I called a local precinct, I'd have
police tracing all about the place. It just isn't worth it.

Speaker 3 (25:50):
Well, what happened?

Speaker 5 (25:51):
It's silly, but well, do you know us? We never
throw anything out. It's a sound idea. The worthless junk
of yesterday has suddenly become expensive and it's incredible.

Speaker 3 (26:01):
Yes, all right, I'll be brief.

Speaker 5 (26:04):
We have a storage space where we keep old things, clothes,
nick knacks, you know, stuff that you say you'll throw
out sometime you never get around to it. You never do.
And well it's all been stolen, stolen, it's missing what
must have been stolen. I don't care about it, but
it's just unnerving to consider that the house has been
broken into.

Speaker 2 (26:22):
We'll send a list of the stuff to Sonjan Mirrow.

Speaker 5 (26:24):
It's not important, but I feel it. Since a crime
has been committed, it should be reported. Did I do
the right thing?

Speaker 3 (26:30):
Of course, of course you did, Margaret, that list. I
gave you that.

Speaker 17 (26:37):
List, Sogeant, it's on my desk, sir, I'm sure most
of the items in this closet were on it.

Speaker 2 (26:41):
Spencer, you were a burglar, technically, yes, she needed clothes, Marty.

Speaker 3 (26:48):
That girl she's a fantasy.

Speaker 2 (26:50):
No, no, not Peggy. All right, look for reasons that
I may never understand. You feel you wasted your life,
so you fantasized a way to go back to start over.
It was no fantasyll it wasn't. You were sorry you
married Margaret, which all by himself proves that you're insane. Spence,
you created this Peggy and you had a dresser in
a period of twenty five years ago.

Speaker 3 (27:10):
There is no Peggy. This whole thing happened in your mind.

Speaker 6 (27:12):
Thank you, Lieutenant.

Speaker 3 (27:14):
That's sir.

Speaker 6 (27:16):
That was from the lab.

Speaker 16 (27:17):
They scraped some grass samples from.

Speaker 17 (27:19):
A skirt in the closet and it's been identified as
Duke of Wentworth Tescue.

Speaker 14 (27:23):
It's a new kind of seed, just been.

Speaker 17 (27:25):
Planted for the first time well about a month ago,
which means somebody wearing this skirt was sitting in the
grass and Benton Park very recently.

Speaker 2 (27:35):
You figure if a man's been married for twenty three years,
he may have a tendency to fantasize a bit. But
Spencer Chadwick has created more than an illusion. He has
brought forth flesh and blood, particularly blood. We'll be back
shortly with Act three.

Speaker 3 (28:04):
It was all right.

Speaker 2 (28:05):
While Peggy was only an illusion, she was Spencer Chadwick's
private affair. But a living Peggy or even a dead Peggy,
there's a serious mayor for police, Chief Inspector Faraday Spence,
make it easy for all of us. Tell me who
is Peggy or who was Peggy? We can find out, Spence.
We can check with the neighbors, the janitor. Circulate your

(28:26):
picture in the neighborhood. Ask people if they've seen you
around with a girl. You'll never find her. Don't say
that it's virtually impossible for a person to disappear without
a trace. I still say you'll never find her. Damn it, Spence,
I can't get used to it. You and Margaret, and
then you and this Peggy. How could you live with
both of them? Didn't things get rough at home? Yes?

Speaker 3 (28:43):
Well what brought on the showdown?

Speaker 2 (28:46):
Well, after a while we couldn't go anywhere without Margaret
seeing her.

Speaker 3 (28:53):
Yeah about Spence.

Speaker 5 (28:58):
Again with the girls.

Speaker 2 (29:01):
You've been looking at you all afternoon, Oh Margaret, Margaret,
believe me.

Speaker 5 (29:04):
You invite her down here. I shall have a better
view for marbih Margaret. The reason we shouldn't go behave.

Speaker 6 (29:08):
In a civilized manner.

Speaker 2 (29:09):
Introduce Margaret. I never saw that girl before in my life. Margaret,
you're staring.

Speaker 5 (29:24):
Walk girls been staring at you all Leave.

Speaker 2 (29:26):
Me, Margaret, Margaret, believe me, wherever we'd go, there'd be
no peace. She always suspected somebody. Last week, it even
happened when we were playing golf with you and Henrietta.
You're up, Margaret, I've used.

Speaker 3 (29:45):
A three would on this whole.

Speaker 19 (29:46):
Margaret.

Speaker 3 (29:47):
All right, Oh too bad.

Speaker 5 (29:51):
Well you go up there and show me how Marty.

Speaker 2 (29:53):
You rushed the shot, you lifted your head.

Speaker 5 (29:55):
I really don't care about golf.

Speaker 2 (29:57):
You made the date with Marty and Henriette.

Speaker 5 (29:59):
We simply can't rop circulation. Spencer, that girl in the
foursome behind.

Speaker 2 (30:04):
Us, Margaret to Margaret, she's not the one Spencer.

Speaker 5 (30:11):
Where were you?

Speaker 2 (30:12):
Oh he had a meeting.

Speaker 5 (30:13):
Oh well we progress. It used to be you didn't know.
You can remember, and now at least you're courteous enough
to lie to me.

Speaker 2 (30:22):
You've been drinking, Margaret, Yes, yes, that's true.

Speaker 5 (30:24):
I have been drinking.

Speaker 2 (30:25):
Margaret. It's not good for you.

Speaker 5 (30:27):
Oh, I don't know. It's considered that drinking is not
good for me. I won't fight that. However, what you
are doing that's good for me, Although I must say
you're treating me nicer these days. You started off by
asking who are you? As if you didn't know me,
and now at least you don't ask. The phone rang

(30:48):
today and I answered it and the line was dead.
What's going to happen, Spence?

Speaker 2 (30:54):
I intend to go away with her.

Speaker 5 (30:57):
Well, finally you've admitted it. You are having an affair. Yes,
who's the woman?

Speaker 2 (31:04):
Who?

Speaker 5 (31:04):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (31:04):
Who? I'm not sure you'd want to know?

Speaker 5 (31:08):
I have a right to know?

Speaker 2 (31:10):
Well, perhaps you do. Who is she?

Speaker 5 (31:12):
Spencer?

Speaker 2 (31:15):
She's you? Me? Yes, Margaret? The girl is you? What
kind of No? No, no, no, no, that's not quite right.
She isn't you.

Speaker 5 (31:26):
And what we're trying to say she was you?

Speaker 2 (31:29):
She isn't Margaret Chadwick. She was Peggy wing right.

Speaker 5 (31:34):
Spencer, don't look at me like that. I'm scared.

Speaker 2 (31:38):
Do you want me to prove it to you? Come
with me, Come with me right now.

Speaker 5 (31:43):
This is what doctor Burbick was concerned about. Spencer. It's
no disgrace to have a breakdown, it's no shame to
need psychiatric.

Speaker 2 (31:50):
No, no, we're past all that marked. Come with me.
I want you to meet Peggy.

Speaker 5 (31:59):
Come with me, an you come with me. You come
with me to doctor Berry.

Speaker 2 (32:03):
You know, Margaret, people like you have one answer. Whenever
you're up against something you don't understand, you have one answer.
Whenever your face with something that's beyond your experience, you
have one answer. See a doctor that solves everything, that
takes care of everybody. And it never occurs to you
that yours might just possibly be the wrong answer. Now,

(32:28):
why are you so sure of yourself? Margaret? Why are
you so sure that I'm the one who's wrong. Come
with me, Margaret, I want you to meet Peggy or
are you afraid? Does it look somebody? Margaret Skims? Is

(32:52):
it pretty?

Speaker 5 (32:52):
Two Bit and Boulevard. It's our first address I remember?

Speaker 2 (32:56):
Do you remember the apartment number three free?

Speaker 5 (33:01):
Oh, don't tell me it's still there.

Speaker 2 (33:04):
See for yourself.

Speaker 5 (33:14):
How did you first table? And this bronze candlestick on
our first wedding present for my brother? These clothes, my clothes?
How did you get there?

Speaker 2 (33:29):
They're here because they're Peggy's clothes. Oh?

Speaker 5 (33:33):
Look, stand for Lydia Carter's skirt. Oh you love me
in that?

Speaker 2 (33:36):
You know that?

Speaker 5 (33:36):
Stars come back? I want to put it on.

Speaker 2 (33:39):
Do you remember what we used to do?

Speaker 5 (33:42):
And then we'd go for a walk in the park,
dinner at Luigi's.

Speaker 2 (33:46):
We never had dinner at Luigi's.

Speaker 5 (33:48):
That's right, we couldn't afford.

Speaker 2 (33:49):
It, and by the time we could, we weren't living
here anymore.

Speaker 5 (33:53):
We stopped at the burger shop.

Speaker 2 (33:55):
What's tonight Thursday?

Speaker 5 (33:58):
That means it's a free concert in the park.

Speaker 2 (34:00):
And then free dancing.

Speaker 5 (34:01):
Oh, let's go, Spence, let's do it all again. I
never realized how much fun we had in those days.

Speaker 2 (34:22):
They were they were great days. Peggy, Peggy, huh.

Speaker 5 (34:29):
I always like Peggy better. And somewhere along the line,
you stop calling me Peggy? When exactly did you stop
calling me Peggy?

Speaker 2 (34:38):
When you became Margaret?

Speaker 5 (34:41):
I always wondered about that. How did I become Margaret? Why?

Speaker 2 (34:47):
Take a look around, see, Peggy, All the bags, the
trunk they packed for the trip, the trip, the trip
to Oh. Oh, yes, we were all oh set to go?
Yes you remember, yes, As a matter of fact, you

(35:07):
were a little bit sick from the shots, remember, remember?

Speaker 5 (35:14):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (35:15):
And then the fellowphone rang.

Speaker 5 (35:19):
The phone?

Speaker 2 (35:19):
Yes, yes, the phone rang? It was it? Why? Yes?

Speaker 14 (35:24):
If it was my mother?

Speaker 2 (35:26):
Yes, yes it was your mother. Answer the phone, Go ahead,
go ahead and answer it. You answered it that night.

Speaker 5 (35:36):
No, yes, yes, mother, Oh no, all right, all right,
we'll go there right away.

Speaker 2 (35:47):
What is it, Peggy?

Speaker 5 (35:48):
My dad he's had a stroke.

Speaker 2 (35:50):
How bad?

Speaker 5 (35:51):
We don't know yet, Oh Spencer, I don't think we can.
I mean I can't leave mother alone right now.

Speaker 2 (35:59):
We won't.

Speaker 5 (36:00):
Oh Spence, I knew you'd understand.

Speaker 2 (36:04):
That's when you became Margaret. That's when you are no
longer my wife, but your father's daughter. Take off the skirt,
leave it here, go home. It belongs to Peggy, Spence.

Speaker 5 (36:15):
What's that with you? I'm Peggy.

Speaker 2 (36:17):
That night was the start of the start of war,
the start of a campaign to mold me into the
kind of man you had in mind, the man who
would enjoy the kind of existence you always had and
always wanted. Safe, comfortable, secure.

Speaker 5 (36:31):
All you were asked to do was to help my father,
who was deafly ill. Who else could have done it,
my brother? It was supposed to just be a temporary arrangement.
But it suited you.

Speaker 2 (36:40):
Stance, it suited you. I started making the kind of
money your folks never dreamed of. I built an empire.
I never wanted it. You you wanted it. You wanted it
so badly, you stopped being Peggy. You wentce somewhere else.
It became lost, but not me. I'm I'm not lost.
I found my way back, and when I got there,

(37:03):
I found Peggy again. No, take off that scratch and
give it back to Peggy.

Speaker 5 (37:11):
Spencer. I listened to you, now you listen to me.

Speaker 2 (37:15):
I've been listening to you for twenty three years, and
now we've come to the end. The bags are packed
and it's not too late. We're leaving for Tibet. Peggy
and me Peggy Peggy.

Speaker 5 (37:31):
Yes, Spencer, DIY Spence. Get this straight. I'm Peggy. Don't
listen to her, Spence.

Speaker 6 (37:38):
She was always out to destroy you.

Speaker 5 (37:40):
She almost did.

Speaker 6 (37:41):
You came back to me.

Speaker 5 (37:43):
I'm Peggy, the only Peggy you have sys trying to
stop you. We are going to tbet that chance you'll
take that appointment from Saturfield. That refusal will just a ploy.

Speaker 2 (37:56):
You know it.

Speaker 5 (37:57):
He knows it.

Speaker 2 (37:57):
Shut up, Margaret, shut up, shut up.

Speaker 5 (38:01):
I didn't destroy you, you destroyed me. To cares, then
go ahead, live with this fantasy of yours, This Keggy
who rewrites history, she's all yours.

It's mine. It's all I want from you for twenty
three years of marriage. Her out of here, She'll tell
everybody about us. You'll put you away, then get away
from that door. No, Spence, go away from me.

You won't get out that way.

must be wrong. Tell me bunny matter on the phoney
signally okay on the right line.

Speaker 3 (01:12:09):
Hurry up, you meant.

Speaker 38 (01:12:10):
Hurry up, hick harmon, harmon, Harry common step up.

Speaker 3 (01:12:26):
He's not there. It's not him, it's something else on
his line. Captain. Look, he's headline. It's been chewed through
my teeth for what is it? What's tied to the lifeline?
What he was? It's mother in heaven, it's a bar

(01:12:47):
of gold.

Speaker 2 (01:13:01):
It is.

Speaker 3 (01:13:05):
Later then.

Speaker 12 (01:13:09):
You thing?

Speaker 1 (01:13:23):
How have you been? My dear? Sometimes I feel like
all I ever do is yap, yap, yap about myself.
I don't mean to be so one sided. I do
so enjoy when you come here and spend your time
with me very very much. What's that, Well, that does

(01:13:51):
sound like a conundrum. I've found that many times in
life when I feel challenged and torn between different directions,
I tend to decide to take action. Fear is simply
your enemy. You can't be afraid of what's behind the

(01:14:13):
black curtain.

Speaker 39 (01:14:16):
Now, Roma Wines present.

Speaker 40 (01:14:26):
Suspense the Night a black Curtain starring Carry Grant.

Speaker 41 (01:14:39):
Suspense as presented for your enjoyment by Roma Wines. That's
our Oma Roma Wines, those excellent California wines that can
add so much pleasantness to the way you live, to
your happiness and entertaining guests to your enjoyment of everyday meals. Yes,
right now a glass fell would be very pleasant as

(01:14:59):
Roma Wines bring you suspense.

Speaker 40 (01:15:05):
This is the man in Black here for the Roma
Wine Company of Presno, California. You introduced this weekly half
hour of Suspense the Night in Hollywood. We are honored
and happy to have with us one of the entertainment
world's most distinguished gentlemen, mister Kerry Grant. This becomes somewhat
of an anniversary broadcast, since it was one year ago
tonight that mister Grant inaugurated this series of suspense programs

(01:15:28):
sponsored by Roma Wines, and in response to requests from
our listeners, he will appear once more in the suspense
play by Cornell Woolrich which starred him on that occasion.
So with the Black Curtain and with the performance of
Kerry Grant, we again hope to keep you in suspense.

Speaker 42 (01:15:51):
It began a rather life began again for me. I
guess you'd say that day on that street, my head
was pounding terribly. I can hear all the noise and
the people milling around everything with a jumble at first.

Speaker 39 (01:16:13):
All right, all right, gang, we let the doc through.

Speaker 14 (01:16:17):
Mister policeman. He was running and boy, he really came
him six o'clock on the bean.

Speaker 39 (01:16:21):
Get back there now.

Speaker 14 (01:16:23):
My head, all right, thought it was plucking and a
big boy.

Speaker 6 (01:16:27):
Grabbed it and run away back.

Speaker 3 (01:16:29):
Put it back.

Speaker 39 (01:16:30):
Give the doctor room. I'm okay, Never mind, Doc, I'm okay.
There seems to be nothing much the matter with you.
Say no, I'm all right.

Speaker 43 (01:16:40):
I guess I can talk to him now, Doc, Yeah, sure,
go ahead. Officely just a bad boop on the head.

Speaker 39 (01:16:43):
I think, yeah, you're all right, You're all right. You
can walk now, can't you?

Speaker 12 (01:16:47):
Sure?

Speaker 20 (01:16:48):
Sure?

Speaker 2 (01:16:48):
Here?

Speaker 43 (01:16:48):
Let me brush up?

Speaker 42 (01:16:49):
Oh thanks, I'll be fine. Hey, hey, wait a minute,
what am I doing with an overcoat on?

Speaker 19 (01:16:55):
All right?

Speaker 32 (01:16:56):
Now?

Speaker 44 (01:16:56):
Mistd Just so they got it on the plotter. What's
your name and where.

Speaker 18 (01:16:58):
Do you live?

Speaker 39 (01:17:00):
Townsend, Frank Townshend eight to Old Rutherbred Street. Here you
have a cigarette. You're still shaking things. I don't smoke.

Speaker 43 (01:17:06):
Okay, where are we getting back? Propping at the receiving
hospital if you want to check you out?

Speaker 14 (01:17:10):
Yes, well, hey, here's your hat, mister, I found it, thanks.

Speaker 44 (01:17:13):
Kid, that's all now, come on over along, over along.

Speaker 3 (01:17:16):
This guy's all right.

Speaker 44 (01:17:17):
Oh thanks, Hey, sorry about the fellow the Dutch of wallet. Anyway,
here's your cigar case with the Townsend and I found
it right alongside of you.

Speaker 39 (01:17:25):
But I don't know the case now. Besides, look at
the initials d M. I don't know what same initials
in the hat. Yeah, yes, but this is my hat.

Speaker 14 (01:17:36):
Don't you even know your own hat?

Speaker 5 (01:17:37):
Mister?

Speaker 42 (01:17:39):
Wait a minute, wait a minute, I'm trying to think
where is this what this street you're on?

Speaker 39 (01:17:45):
Tillery Street, Tillery Street? What am I doing on Tillery Street?

Speaker 6 (01:17:50):
He's lost?

Speaker 12 (01:17:51):
All right?

Speaker 44 (01:17:51):
Now, look, my suggestion is that you go on home
and go lie down. It's cold starting to snow. Wait
a minute, Wait a minute, don't leave me. Tell me
what what happened?

Speaker 18 (01:18:01):
Where?

Speaker 44 (01:18:01):
You slipped on this icey sidewalk? Well down, hit your
head good and hard in the curve. You're up about
twenty minutes.

Speaker 7 (01:18:06):
Wait.

Speaker 39 (01:18:08):
Wait, ice on the sidewalk.

Speaker 44 (01:18:10):
Look at that street cleaning department. Not to clear away,
that's snow too, But snow and ice snore? Why snow
in July July, December, December nineteen forty.

Speaker 39 (01:18:21):
Four, nineteen forty four. You better get on home, son,
Good night, nineteen forty four.

Speaker 42 (01:18:29):
Woo, December nineteen forty four. My last I remember was
July nineteen forty one, three years just gone amnesia. A

(01:18:49):
black curtain comes down over your mind, out of nowhere.
That black curtain has been over my eyes.

Speaker 39 (01:18:54):
For three years. Where had I been? Who had I been?

Speaker 2 (01:18:58):
Man?

Speaker 39 (01:19:00):
I hadn't been faying Townsend. I've been someone else d N,
someone whose initials.

Speaker 2 (01:19:07):
Were d N.

Speaker 39 (01:19:09):
I walked him on Tillery Street thinking about it those
three years what I could.

Speaker 42 (01:19:16):
Have been married, could have been a sea fight, yeah,
something maybe turn around on the street for a moment,
and that was when I first saw him, gray eyes.

Speaker 39 (01:19:26):
He'd been talking to the competence of my name.

Speaker 42 (01:19:28):
He looked up as I did, and then he started
to walk rapidly in my direction, back away. Instinctively, something
about him spelled trouble. He called, hey for you stop stop,
Towns and stop. Instinctively on you, I should run get
away from you. I look back at the round to
the corner and had a cun in his hand. He
raised it and I turned and round for my life.

Speaker 40 (01:19:57):
What lay behind that black curtain which separated Townsend from
his past? Roma Wines are presenting Hollywood's distinguished peragram, a
star of Tonight's Tale of Suspense, Heavan.

Speaker 41 (01:20:19):
Do you often realize that many of life's finest enjoyments
are simple and moderate rather than the opposite. I give
you the words of a high and well of authority,
Miss Elsa Maxwell, international expert on smart entertaining and gracious living.

Speaker 45 (01:20:33):
Good hospitality is always simple, genuine and moderate. That is
why I often suggest enjoyment of delicious Roma Saw turn
when you have friends in to dinner or with your
everyday meals. Serve this delicate golden saw turn well chilled
with any food in any glasses you have Special wine

(01:20:54):
glasses are pretty, but not very important.

Speaker 41 (01:20:56):
Now what can I add to such charming good senses
that maybe just this Roma sultern and all Roma wines
are the best.

Speaker 39 (01:21:04):
That California is magnificent.

Speaker 41 (01:21:06):
Sun ripened grapes can provide inglorious color, fragrance, and flavor,
protected for you by the ancient wine skill of Roma's
famed wineries. That's why Roma wines and Roma quality do
not vary, never fall short, but are always enjoyable. Unchanging
high quality gives tremendous popularity to Roma wines and makes

(01:21:28):
low cost possible only pennies a glass. Remember, more Americans enjoy.

Speaker 39 (01:21:34):
Roma than any other wines.

Speaker 3 (01:21:37):
R O M A Roma wines.

Speaker 40 (01:21:43):
And now it is with pleasure that we bring back
to our soundstage mystic carry grants and the Black Curtain,
a story well calculated to keep you in suspense.

Speaker 42 (01:22:00):
Why was that man following me with a gun? What
did gray eyes want with me?

Speaker 39 (01:22:08):
I must have done something.

Speaker 42 (01:22:10):
I had to get away someplace to be safe, and
think I beat it down into the subway and hid
for two hours. I stayed down there. I thought it
all out carefully. During those two hours, I knew I
was on the spot for something. Gray eyes meant business.

Speaker 39 (01:22:24):
What could it be?

Speaker 42 (01:22:26):
Who had I been during those last three years with
that black curtain in front of them?

Speaker 7 (01:22:30):
Oh?

Speaker 42 (01:22:30):
Maybe I've been a gangster when he was one of
my mob that wanted to rub me out. I didn't know,
no identification, my wallet stolen, nothing in my pockets are
but help? Just DN in the hat and DN on
the cigar case.

Speaker 27 (01:22:46):
D N.

Speaker 39 (01:22:48):
My head was aching with worry. My stomach can't panic
in it. I had to find out who I'd been,
what I had done?

Speaker 2 (01:22:55):
But how where.

Speaker 18 (01:23:00):
Street?

Speaker 42 (01:23:01):
That's where i'd been when I woke up, Tillery Street.
Well maybe gray Eyes would go back there too, looking
for me, But I had to take that chance.

Speaker 39 (01:23:10):
Tillery Street. Yeah, Oh good evening pop?

Speaker 3 (01:23:27):
Hello?

Speaker 19 (01:23:28):
Oh hello there?

Speaker 39 (01:23:29):
Oh you know me? Sure? I couldn't see under that
hatters first, what.

Speaker 2 (01:23:33):
Can I do for you?

Speaker 39 (01:23:36):
Have you got an evening paper I could look at? No, Sarah,
I never read them.

Speaker 36 (01:23:39):
So much trouble in the world these days, anyhow, Say
how you been? You haven't been around two or three weeks.

Speaker 42 (01:23:45):
Well, i've been busy. Oh look, pop, Yeah, I made
a bet with a friend of mine. But even though
you see so many customers, you'd walk right up and
give me my full name.

Speaker 36 (01:23:57):
Oh well, I'm sorry, I don't know what. I don't
think I ever heard your name, but I know your
girl a girl. Well you do well now, now maybe
I can still win my bad Why of course Ruth
lives right across the street, the artillery apartment.

Speaker 39 (01:24:14):
Oh well that's right, Ruth.

I take the sandwiches up there every night.

Speaker 12 (01:24:23):

Speaker 39 (01:24:25):
Yes, well thanks. Will you win your bet, mister?

Speaker 3 (01:24:27):
Huh?

Speaker 39 (01:24:28):
Oh, yes, I think I will. What is your name
so i'll know it next time? I'll tell you tomorrow,
I hope.

Speaker 2 (01:24:35):
Hello.

Speaker 39 (01:24:36):
Come on, pop, obviously, what's the matter of not something? No, nothing, nothing,
just tying a shoe.

Speaker 42 (01:24:45):
I've just been going to walk out when I saw
him standing across the street, gray eyes again.

Speaker 39 (01:24:52):
I tuk down behind the store window. I watch do it.

Speaker 42 (01:24:54):
He looked over in my direction and then up and
down the street, then lit a cigarette and smoke down corner.
The minute he disappeared I young the door up and
dashed out and ran across the Tillery apartments and went in.

Speaker 2 (01:25:19):
It.

Speaker 39 (01:25:20):
Ruth, Yeah, it's me.

Speaker 45 (01:25:26):

Oh Danny, were you get in here?

Yeah. Did you ever see a detective that didn't?

Speaker 39 (01:25:50):
I'm sure sure then?

Speaker 14 (01:25:52):
He was the matter with you laking so strangely?

Speaker 39 (01:25:56):
Well, I just wanted to look at you.

Speaker 14 (01:25:59):
You seem so different, so far away. Well I would
kiss me.

Speaker 39 (01:26:04):
Well, that's easily fixed.

Speaker 14 (01:26:10):
Oh darling, Where have you been for three weeks?

Speaker 39 (01:26:12):

The presenter goes, Franklin, why don't you bother your head
about those two? They weren't glad when it happened. A
couple of vultures bright to them.

You think you want to quit your job?

Speaker 14 (01:27:04):
Well, absolutely, I think so. I never was cut out
to be a nurse.

Speaker 39 (01:27:08):
Anyway, any more than than I was.

Speaker 14 (01:27:13):
More than you were meant to be a secretary.

Speaker 39 (01:27:16):
Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 42 (01:27:19):
I never wanted to be a secretary, just drifted into it.
I guess I kind of got him my nerves, especially
thought the end. The uh, the boss was no sense
to work for us.

Speaker 14 (01:27:29):
We certainly wasn't.

Speaker 5 (01:27:30):

Oh, the old man. Yeah, I sort of liked him,
didn't I.

Speaker 14 (01:27:45):
He loves you too. I think he wished you had
been his son.

Speaker 5 (01:27:49):
Poor old man.

Speaker 14 (01:27:49):
He's the only reason I've stuck around out there. There's long.

Speaker 39 (01:27:53):
How are things out there?

Speaker 46 (01:27:55):
Oh, they've been questioning all of us. They've made off lately,
those isn't you? Oh, don't talk any more about it.

Oh did you see you?

Speaker 39 (01:28:30):
Buck Ruth? Will you help me?

Speaker 5 (01:28:32):
What are you going to do?

Speaker 39 (01:28:33):
Give myself up? No getting shot out? What can they
do to me?

Speaker 2 (01:28:38):
Crazy fool?

Speaker 14 (01:28:38):
That can send you to the chair chair? What do
you think happens to a man when he's killing his murder?

Speaker 19 (01:28:48):
Murder?

Speaker 42 (01:28:49):
Ruce, Listen to me, I'm not a murderer. The whole
world says I committed murderer.

Speaker 39 (01:28:54):
I said I didn't me that's me, He says, I didn't.

Speaker 14 (01:28:57):
I never said you were, Danny. I always said you
didn't do it. They found the body in the only
you have to run away, So.

Speaker 19 (01:29:05):
That's it all right?

Speaker 14 (01:29:07):
Oh why did you come here?

Speaker 2 (01:29:08):
Dan?

Speaker 5 (01:29:09):
You?

Speaker 2 (01:29:09):
What? Ruth?

Speaker 42 (01:29:10):
Quick, We've got to get out of here. How about
the fire escape shaft? Don't waiter, don't waiter here, quick,
get in.

Speaker 39 (01:29:22):
I'll stand on the top of work.

Speaker 14 (01:29:23):
The ropes they can hold us both.

Speaker 2 (01:29:24):
Got to.

Speaker 39 (01:29:29):
Can you hear me, Danny?

Speaker 2 (01:29:31):
What do we do?

Speaker 39 (01:29:32):
We're going back there?

Speaker 6 (01:29:34):
Jerry?

Speaker 14 (01:29:35):
Oh no, Daddy, don't, please, don't, don't.

Speaker 39 (01:29:39):
We've got to We've got to find out.

Speaker 19 (01:29:40):
We're going together.

Speaker 14 (01:29:42):
No, no, daddy, no, I've got the money. We can
get out of here.

Speaker 39 (01:29:45):
Stop it.

Speaker 14 (01:29:46):
Oh, daddy, my arm. You're hurting me.

Speaker 39 (01:29:49):
From here on in.

Speaker 42 (01:29:50):
We're sticking together. You're going to take me back there.
Ruth's back where it happened.

Speaker 14 (01:29:54):
A crazy but I'll go wherever you go. I can't lose.

Speaker 39 (01:30:08):
On the train.

Speaker 42 (01:30:09):
Ruth and I said very little to each other while
I had hidden the telephone booth in Pennsylvania Station. She
brought us a couple of cheap overcoats, and I sat
hunched up in mine.

Speaker 39 (01:30:18):
Thinking, thinking Ruth had brought along the newspaper tippees.

Speaker 42 (01:30:24):
I looked at what they said for the twentieth time,
trying to see if there was anything there that would
help me. Dietrich slayers thought it said, Secretary wanted them
brutus slaying in suburban estate at least suppressing the search
for Daniel Nearing, secretary and the employee of the late
John Dietrich, fifty eighth member of a well known local family,

(01:30:45):
who was shocked and killed in the drawing room of
his new Jericho estate on the morning of November seventh.
Nearing disappeared November the seventh, on the morning of which
date he is known to have had a bitter quarrel
with the deceased. This last was attested to by Ada
and Franklin Dietrich, widow and brother of the murdered me.

Speaker 39 (01:31:09):
Well, I had all the facts now.

Speaker 42 (01:31:12):
I wanted for murder, and yet everything that was in
me told me that no matter who I'd been, however
many memories I had lost, and I was no killer,
and I just couldn't. I had to get into the
Dietrich house and stand again in that room where it
had all happened. Maybe something would come back to me.

Speaker 39 (01:31:31):
Maybe they would.

Speaker 14 (01:31:44):
Kenny, doc Aiden, Franklin just let down to the village.

Speaker 39 (01:31:52):
Did they say anything about you being out here? On
your day off, make some cracks.

Speaker 14 (01:31:56):
I said I had nothing to do in town, and
they not to write.

Speaker 39 (01:31:59):
Some y to go there.

Speaker 2 (01:32:02):
Day.

Speaker 14 (01:32:02):
I'm scared. Please, let's not stay here. I'm scared. They're
only going to the building. They'll be back in half
an hour the most.

Speaker 42 (01:32:13):
Open the door, Ruth, hurry, I've got to see the
inside that room, a place where it happened.

Speaker 14 (01:32:19):
It's wrong, Danny. I'm telling you you're crazy. They'll find you.

Speaker 39 (01:32:22):
Open the door, Ruth quickly.

Speaker 2 (01:32:26):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 39 (01:32:30):
All right, now let's have a look at that room.

Speaker 14 (01:32:33):
Please, Danny, don't don't talk about it.

Speaker 11 (01:32:35):
Please, Mum.

Speaker 39 (01:32:39):
This is where I'm supposed to have murdered John Dietrich.
Where was it? Show me exactly where it was, Ruth.
I've got to know.

Speaker 14 (01:32:46):
It's there, right there. I was standing by the grandfather's clock.
Are you going crazy? Danny? As they get to your
hang by the clock.

Speaker 39 (01:32:56):
You still believe me, don't you?

Speaker 6 (01:32:57):
Ruth?

Speaker 3 (01:32:58):
I believe you, Danny.

Speaker 14 (01:32:59):
Perhaps he love.

Speaker 7 (01:33:02):
People.

Speaker 20 (01:33:03):
That's that listen that.

Speaker 6 (01:33:05):
Don't the old man?

Speaker 14 (01:33:07):
I just sleep in that room. Don't believe Danny. Don't
please awake him.

Speaker 39 (01:33:10):
I want to see him.

Speaker 14 (01:33:11):
No, don't, Danny, No, he can't help you. You know,
he's paralyzed. He can't talk.

Speaker 39 (01:33:16):
Turn on the night. I want to see him.

Speaker 14 (01:33:18):
There you're walking on. That's me, mister Dick.

Speaker 2 (01:33:24):
This is Danny.

Speaker 14 (01:33:26):
You remember Danny.

Speaker 39 (01:33:27):
Don't you hello, mister Didrich.

Speaker 14 (01:33:30):
His eyes are shine?

Speaker 39 (01:33:32):
Yeah, tell me was he here when it happened?

Speaker 2 (01:33:35):
You know that?

Speaker 14 (01:33:36):
Danny? Why do you ask such a many questions? He's
been a bed here for five years.

Speaker 26 (01:33:40):
Yes.

Speaker 39 (01:33:41):
For that mirror on the wall. Here that clock.

Speaker 42 (01:33:44):
Look you can see the grandfather's clock in the other room. Wow,
he could see it. The old man can see the
murder through the mirror. Oh if he only could talk.

Speaker 5 (01:33:54):
But he can't talk.

Speaker 14 (01:33:55):
You scare me, Danny.

Speaker 39 (01:33:56):
Don't he saw the man who killed John di Drich.
Look he understands what I'm saying. He's blinking his eyes.

Speaker 14 (01:34:03):
Oh, stop torturing him, Danny. Can't you see what you're doing?

Speaker 42 (01:34:06):
Tuition, Try to say something. Look, his eyes are blinking.
He's going to help me.

Speaker 39 (01:34:10):
Go outside and watch Ruth.

Speaker 14 (01:34:12):
Go on and watch out of the entrance. Be careful
that he will be back any minute.

Speaker 3 (01:34:16):
Leave me alone.

Speaker 42 (01:34:19):
Look now, mister d Trich, don't be afraid. I'm going
to ask you a question, and I'd like you to
answer me. You're trying to tell me something about the murder. Now,
blink your eyes. Blink twice. If you are that said
once twice, that's good.

Speaker 39 (01:34:38):
Did you see it happen here in your mirror? Blink once?

Speaker 42 (01:34:42):
If the answer is no, twice. If the answer is yes,
once twice, you did.

Speaker 6 (01:34:47):
Huh?

Speaker 7 (01:34:48):
You saw it?

Speaker 2 (01:34:51):
Now?

Speaker 39 (01:34:52):
Then is the murderer in this house?

Speaker 14 (01:34:56):
Get out of here?

Speaker 2 (01:34:57):

Speaker 14 (01:34:58):
When then he wants?

Speaker 39 (01:34:59):
Is the murderer this house? Once for no? Twice for yes?

Speaker 19 (01:35:03):
Yes?

Speaker 39 (01:35:04):
In this house?

Speaker 2 (01:35:06):
Wait?

Speaker 39 (01:35:06):
Wait, I almost done it, mister Dietrich.

Speaker 2 (01:35:09):
Was it me?

Speaker 39 (01:35:11):
Once for no, twice for yes?

Speaker 24 (01:35:13):
Was it me?

Speaker 14 (01:35:14):
Get out for a little bit? Room near behind the curtains.

Speaker 39 (01:35:18):
Okay, thanks, mister t Trick, I'll be back.

Ru Rue, It is that you and father's room?

Speaker 14 (01:35:27):

Speaker 3 (01:35:29):
Are you here alone?

Speaker 6 (01:35:30):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:35:31):
Yes?

Speaker 6 (01:35:31):

Speaker 39 (01:35:32):
Well we thought we heard voices.

Speaker 20 (01:35:36):
Are you so jilery about rude?

Speaker 14 (01:35:39):
I'm tired.

Speaker 6 (01:35:39):

Speaker 3 (01:35:47):

Speaker 2 (01:35:51):
She brought someone back here with her. It's him, I think.

Speaker 20 (01:35:55):
Damn.

Speaker 43 (01:35:56):
Oh, frank take it easy, darling, take it easy.

Speaker 2 (01:35:59):
If he's here, we'll get him.

Speaker 14 (01:36:00):
After the evidence became against him at the hearing. Oh,
I'm scared. I'll go to the village for no.

Speaker 47 (01:36:07):
No, call the police here out of it. Hello, Hello,
it's too late, said, the wires have been cut. Come
I will both drive to the village.

Speaker 14 (01:36:18):
He may be waiting for us out by the car.

Speaker 3 (01:36:20):
Uh, what are you doing there, Franklin?

Speaker 19 (01:36:26):
I think I might just need my gun.

Speaker 39 (01:36:29):
Come on, let's be on our way. The moment they
left the house, I made for the old man's room.
I called for Ruth, but she was gone. Maybe Franklin
Nenada called her after she cut the telephone wire.

Speaker 42 (01:36:46):
But I couldn't wait. My life was hanging on minutes. Now,
I shot the flashlight on the old man's face again. Now,
mister Drech, you're helping me.

Speaker 39 (01:36:56):
Fine. You know I'm trying to save my life, don't
you now? The murderer?

Speaker 2 (01:37:02):
Was it me?

Speaker 5 (01:37:03):
Was it me?

Speaker 39 (01:37:04):
Who did it?

Speaker 4 (01:37:04):
Me?

Speaker 39 (01:37:05):
Danning nearing drink once for no one?

Speaker 2 (01:37:09):
Once?

Speaker 19 (01:37:10):
For sure?

Speaker 39 (01:37:11):
You're sure it wasn't mean? Oh, your smiling mister d
drink smiling. Now, Now there was somebody in this house?
And who was it?

Speaker 3 (01:37:22):
Oh?

Speaker 39 (01:37:23):
Can't you make a sound?

Speaker 2 (01:37:25):
Help me?

Speaker 42 (01:37:25):
You've got to what's the data? Twice for yes, once
for no, once no data? All right, then was it, Franklin,
Or you'll never go to trial. Franklin, you've got to listen.

Speaker 7 (01:37:37):
To goot you are.

Speaker 39 (01:37:39):
You're trying to kill the old man too.

Speaker 43 (01:37:40):
He the murderer returns to the scene of as crime.

Speaker 39 (01:37:43):
You know I didn't kill him.

Speaker 43 (01:37:44):
Tell it to the police. They'll have him here in
a couple of minutes.

Speaker 18 (01:37:46):
Where's your girlfriend, Ruth?

Speaker 39 (01:37:48):
She's not here. I don't know where she went.

Speaker 43 (01:37:49):
Never mind, they'll find her.

Speaker 2 (01:37:51):
Mm hmmm.

Speaker 20 (01:37:52):
You were dead that kneeling.

Speaker 43 (01:37:53):
You killed my brother and beat it. What did you
ever get out of it? That's always puzzled me.

Speaker 39 (01:37:57):
You killed your brother and now you're going to kill me.

Speaker 43 (01:38:00):
You've gone nuts too. Why should I kill my own brother,
you idiot?

Speaker 42 (01:38:03):
To get his share of the estate and his wife Ada,
among other things. You can't stop with killing me. Someone
else knows the truth. The old man saw it in the.

Speaker 39 (01:38:13):
Mirror, right, Yes, you'll have to kill your own father.

Speaker 43 (01:38:17):
The old man saw it how do you know?

Speaker 39 (01:38:18):
He told me he can't talk.

Speaker 43 (01:38:19):
He can't even move.

Speaker 39 (01:38:20):
You can hear, and he can blink his eyes. Come
over here and look, O care you.

Speaker 30 (01:38:26):
I had to do it.

Speaker 14 (01:38:28):
I heard him.

Speaker 2 (01:38:28):
He was going to kill you.

Speaker 14 (01:38:29):
Here's the gun, Daddy, kick it. It'll be all right.

Speaker 39 (01:38:33):
You shouldn't have done that. In another minute, I'm not.

Speaker 43 (01:38:37):
Sure it was.

Speaker 14 (01:38:38):
Please please let run for it. Don't be here in
a second. You last chance, the last way you did it.

Speaker 42 (01:38:44):
If I can be with the old man another half
a minute, mister Dietrich, mister d is Danny, don't don't
don't tell me, mister Drik.

Speaker 39 (01:38:52):
Was it Franklin? If Franklin killed your son John? Blink once?
If he did.

Speaker 3 (01:38:58):
Want to?

Speaker 39 (01:38:58):
Madame, mister Dtrich, don't be afraid. I won't hurt you.
But why are you afraid? He's afraid?

Speaker 2 (01:39:04):
Ruth?

Speaker 39 (01:39:06):
Oh, it's this gun. Yeah, take the gun, Ruth, He'll
take it. He's afraid. I'm not going to hurt you.
Mister d what's the matter? Why did you answer me?

Speaker 2 (01:39:16):
Who killed John d Drich?

Speaker 39 (01:39:18):
It wasn't me, It wasn't Eida, it wasn't Franklin. But
someone in the house was it, Ruth, Ruth?

Speaker 42 (01:39:28):
You I told you.

Speaker 5 (01:39:32):
I told you not to come.

Speaker 2 (01:39:34):
Oh.

Speaker 14 (01:39:34):
I love you, Danny.

Speaker 6 (01:39:35):
I wanted you.

Speaker 14 (01:39:37):
I wouldn't have let him get you.

Speaker 39 (01:39:39):
Oh why why, Ruth? Why did you kill John d Drich?

Speaker 14 (01:39:42):
He was always as me, wouldn't leave me alone. I
hated him. Now he came in, threatened me, but he
killed me. He couldn't have me, nobody could. He had
a gun, Danny, and I got it away from him.
I hit the cloth.

Speaker 16 (01:39:58):
He leaned against it.

Speaker 14 (01:40:00):
I thought he'd never pulled down die. It was a
day you ran away and I was crazy. They thought
it was you, and they started looking you.

Speaker 7 (01:40:09):
Why was it you?

Speaker 14 (01:40:11):
I love you, Danny, I love you.

Speaker 29 (01:40:13):
I think you not to come back here.

Speaker 2 (01:40:15):
Ruth.

Speaker 39 (01:40:15):
Please put down that gun.

Speaker 6 (01:40:18):
Stand back, Danny, stay over there. I just want to
look at you.

Speaker 14 (01:40:24):
I was hoping we could get away together. You've been
through enough, Danny. We're all because of me. Now you're clear, Danny,
and this is going to clear me.

Speaker 39 (01:40:40):
Darling, Ruth, dear Ruth. Well, that's about all there is

(01:41:03):
to tell.

Speaker 42 (01:41:04):
I've tried to put it all behind me, to resume
my life where it left off three and a half
years ago. Sometimes when it gets toward evening, I go
and walk along Tillery Street, and once in a while somebody,
somebody I don't know will say hello, Danny, and I'd
just say hello and walk on.

Speaker 39 (01:41:23):
And I don't want to find out anything more.

Speaker 42 (01:41:25):
I want it all to die away and be still,
and it will, except Ruth, because somewhere behind that black curtain,
I was loved and loves someone.

Speaker 39 (01:41:38):
We must have known a love, but I'll never know again.

Speaker 40 (01:41:56):
And so closes the Black Curtain, starring Carry Grant, and
I'd study it suspense. Suspense is produced and directed by
William Spear.

Speaker 1 (01:42:07):
Well after that one, I have a bit of a chill.
How about you, my dear, are you feeling a bit cold?
Don't worry. I'll get the pot going and you'll have
more hot tea to enjoy as we slowly bring our
eerie evening to a close. Or what's that? Well? I

(01:42:34):
know it does get a bit drafty down here, but
I feel like the chill is.

Speaker 2 (01:42:41):
Is more.

Speaker 1 (01:42:43):
Aggressive than Norman. But that could just be me being
a bit over zealous and a bit overworried. I do
enjoy a good worry. I suppose the chill is just
saying summers goodbye.

Speaker 12 (01:43:00):
Ka Fire please, Quiet please?

Speaker 11 (01:43:10):
Mm hmmm.

Speaker 2 (01:43:17):
Uh.

Speaker 9 (01:43:32):
The American Broadcasting Company presents Quiet Please, which is written
and directed by Willis Cooper, which features Ernest Chappell.

Speaker 2 (01:43:42):
Quiet Please for today is called Summer Goodbye.

Speaker 20 (01:43:50):
Mm hm.

Speaker 8 (01:43:55):
The last stop light, the last traffic lights is very
supposed able of crosses van Sura Sherman Oaks. The next
one's only forty miles northwest of Camarillo, so we felt
pretty sure there'd be nothing to.

Speaker 15 (01:44:08):
Stop us for a long time. And even though they
weren't very far behind.

Speaker 8 (01:44:12):
Us, then I knew most of the side roads, I
wasn't sure they did. I thought of the road the
branches off the Hidden Valley Road that goes the other
way from Lake Sherwood, and I thought of the East
Potrero Road that goes down to the coast road finally
leads previously over through the sand dunes of an Amy.
I was afraid they might know that way. And then

(01:44:35):
I remembered last famous canyon. I remember the little house
way up under the hills, the place we used to
call Jangrela, and I was sure they wouldn't know that place.
Now you need a place to hide out, in in
the back of your car is loaded down with two
satchels full of money that used to belong to somebody else,
And there's bright fresh blood on the handle of onb

(01:45:09):
The last days of summer in California, the time when
you know it's summer goodbye, when the rains are sweeping
down from the northwest where they've been gathering up over
Runde Fuka, drenching the forests and the north turning the
snow over the high Sierras, drifting southwards a fiss summer goodbye, and.

Speaker 15 (01:45:28):
Turn the long brown hills into green past.

Speaker 8 (01:45:33):
When the little brooks would fill up and overflow their banks,
the sleepy Los Angeles River would come to life again
down in the valley, roads would disappear in the mud.
The last days of summer. Then I knew if we
could hide away somewhere till the rains came, maybe hard
put powers, maybe they'd come a day when we could

(01:45:55):
pull out again, and that money there used to be
somebody else, cause it would be ours, not ons.

Speaker 12 (01:46:03):
Of mind, and not in California either.

Speaker 6 (01:46:09):
Rang up in the rich rob and do I get
it almost any day now?

Speaker 15 (01:46:14):
It certainly doesn't look like it.

Speaker 6 (01:46:15):
Now does it? Oh, you can't tell in California. So
that's right. We have been off summer. We get up
in the canyon there.

Speaker 2 (01:46:24):
You know.

Speaker 6 (01:46:26):
I'm afraid of fire.

Speaker 15 (01:46:28):
Yeah, we had no fires all summer.

Speaker 6 (01:46:30):
Always takes you way around.

Speaker 15 (01:46:31):
See if you can see anybody?

Speaker 6 (01:46:34):
Well, nobody think they got tied up in the traffic.
That says, then nice filler, But yeah, I hope so
he too.

Speaker 15 (01:46:44):
Keep a sharp eye off for motorcycle cops too.

Speaker 6 (01:46:47):
Wa Ok, we gotta stop the speeding.

Speaker 12 (01:46:49):
I feel sorry for anybody.

Speaker 15 (01:46:51):
That tries it.

Speaker 3 (01:46:51):
Me too.

Speaker 6 (01:46:54):
I wonder what about that? Wonder what Karen.

Speaker 15 (01:46:57):
Cat nothing to one here above?

Speaker 16 (01:47:01):
I guess not.

Speaker 6 (01:47:03):
I got my handsle thirty and that's hatch or two.

Speaker 15 (01:47:07):
We can wash when we get up there.

Speaker 6 (01:47:09):
I there's nobody up there, so do way.

Speaker 15 (01:47:14):
It'll be too bad if there is.

Speaker 11 (01:47:17):
Lolla.

Speaker 6 (01:47:18):
But you didn't get out of it stuck to rain.
I hope so that will probably get out of pieces were.

Speaker 12 (01:47:24):
Better for us.

Speaker 6 (01:47:26):
I wouldn't want to get stuck.

Speaker 12 (01:47:27):
We won't.

Speaker 7 (01:47:30):
Take it out to look back.

Speaker 3 (01:47:33):
Nobody.

Speaker 15 (01:47:34):
Yes, and I think we're getting away from if we
don't get stuck behind us truck.

Speaker 6 (01:47:44):
Yes, what you're doing.

Speaker 12 (01:47:46):
We have to do better than that.

Speaker 6 (01:47:48):
How much product?

Speaker 16 (01:47:49):
So we can off?

Speaker 5 (01:47:50):
I mean four or.

Speaker 8 (01:47:51):
Five, six miles maybe more. I'll throw it there over
the Knoga Park. But let me hear them long ways
off though. Hang on, we're going places.

Going off fast, sew the boys behind us?

Speaker 6 (01:48:23):
No, what why do we do if they catch up
with it?

Speaker 15 (01:48:28):
They won't catch up with it.

Speaker 3 (01:48:29):
But what if they do, well, let's say grab us well.

Speaker 5 (01:48:37):
Topics.

Speaker 14 (01:48:38):

Oh, I think they're getting closer.

Speaker 12 (01:49:32):
Can you see them?

Speaker 6 (01:49:34):
There's too many turds in the road.

Would be a French junction in a minute.

Speaker 9 (01:49:37):

thirty miles an hour in the dust among the sunflowers.

Speaker 15 (01:52:06):
Down the winding road, past the ouf top of the
fields and the side road that leads down to the creek.

Speaker 8 (01:52:14):
Down the winding road past the steep with a path
that leads up the last Rahmous schoolhouse to safely un
past the barn when the dog comes out and bites
at tired. Down the winding road under the trees.

Speaker 12 (01:52:31):
To the temper eucalyptus at.

Speaker 8 (01:52:32):
The clenter of Curence Grounds ranch and sharp turns let
past the highway fence to the tramp of scrubble where
you turn off. Across the fields at the bottom of
the hill, up the Changla, the round through the willows,

(01:52:54):
down through the sandy to the creek bed. It's a
roaring torne when it rains. Across the fields and take
down the bars in the gate. Up toward the hill,
through the woods to Shangla.

Speaker 3 (01:53:14):

Speaker 12 (01:55:13):
A man in broad daylight.

Speaker 8 (01:55:16):
Try carrying away two sexuals full of mud with a
dozen people watching you.

Speaker 15 (01:55:22):
And try racing across the countryside with a frecking woman
in a fast car and three collared the cops right
behind you.

Speaker 8 (01:55:31):
Get stuck in a sand twenty miles from no place,
somebody watching you, and then.

Speaker 12 (01:55:38):
Disappearing when you go.

Speaker 2 (01:55:39):
Looking for him.

Speaker 15 (01:55:41):
Sure, I'm sure you'll be just as scared as I was.

Speaker 8 (01:55:50):
Late timmer afternoon, flat and lazy, the smell of eucalyptus
trees around you, not a sound to reach you, how
to sound except the scrape.

Speaker 39 (01:56:02):
Of the shoveler.

Speaker 15 (01:56:03):
Get dig and dig and dig at the sand.

Speaker 8 (01:56:06):
To keep shifting under the wheels, And your wife standing
there with a gun if you watch to get who,
And the afternoon's shadows growing longer and longer, and a
little breeze coming up to rest of the leaves and
make you think you're not hoo's creeping up on your head.
You to throw it on a gun on you and say,

robbery and murder. And you know all you want is
to get up there to the deserted old house and
stablish your way to sashls of money and just lie.
Lord of the rains come and accompass, stay in the
station house, and the creak and the rain hide you
as you creep out and up that highway to a

(01:56:48):
boat that's gonna take you and the money and her to.

Speaker 12 (01:56:52):
Waste some place where they will never, never, never find you.

Speaker 8 (01:56:59):
Well, you got plenty to think about while you're digging,
and the shadows crawl on the hillside to it.

Speaker 15 (01:57:04):
You wonder if she'll ever be done and get out
of there. I'm gonna try it sometimes, his old friend.

Speaker 8 (01:57:14):
Yes, everything's got there in sometime, And at last the
back wheels free and you get back in.

Speaker 15 (01:57:19):
And you ease yourself out of there, and it's dark now.

Speaker 12 (01:57:23):
Age you take that winding little trail up between the hills.

Speaker 14 (01:57:26):
It's so hard to see even the take time, there's
somebody watching it.

Yourself to stop it up in the dark, the bright
lights on and everybody.

With these lights.

Speaker 12 (01:57:40):
You can't get off the trail unless.

Speaker 6 (01:57:42):
We saw it down the hillstone, you won't fall.

Speaker 3 (01:57:46):
Somebody's where you cut it out.

How much butter is?

Speaker 12 (01:58:08):

Speaker 5 (01:58:09):

Speaker 12 (01:58:11):
Do you remember this turn? Don't you?

Speaker 13 (01:58:13):
I don't remember anything except I'm tired and cold and hungry.

Speaker 8 (01:58:20):
I give you something to remember when we're living on
some nice, warm island down the south specific somewhere six
thousand miles away from here.

Speaker 2 (01:58:28):
We ever get there, what'd you say?

Speaker 6 (01:58:31):
If we ever get there, we'll get there.

Speaker 2 (01:58:36):

Speaker 6 (01:58:42):
Hitch tiger would be a top not?

Speaker 2 (01:58:44):

Speaker 6 (01:58:47):
Why y'all know he's here?

Speaker 12 (01:58:49):
Well, that's silly.

Speaker 2 (01:58:50):
How could he get ahead of us? All the time
I was doing seventy five eighty miles an hour.

Speaker 19 (01:58:54):
He was walking.

Speaker 6 (01:58:55):
Maybe I can't hear you, I said, maybe he was walking.

Speaker 12 (01:58:58):
You're crazy.

Speaker 5 (01:58:59):
Maybe what if.

Speaker 2 (01:59:02):
How could you get past this?

Speaker 12 (01:59:03):
We'd have seen him past.

Speaker 7 (01:59:06):
Cut it out.

Speaker 20 (01:59:10):
Just a snake in the road, do you run over?

Speaker 7 (01:59:13):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (01:59:16):
I just luck to kill us, think us snake.

Speaker 12 (01:59:18):
It brings rain. That's what we want. I hate to
see the summer go away, not me. Summer good bye,
that's what I say, good riddance.

Speaker 15 (01:59:31):
I want rain.

Speaker 6 (01:59:34):
I wish you could get there.

Speaker 12 (01:59:35):
Yeah, that's just up this little slope, honey, and then
we can rest.

Speaker 2 (01:59:41):
Oh, now, me too.

Speaker 6 (01:59:45):
We've had a day.

Speaker 8 (01:59:48):
Yeah, I'll see.

Speaker 30 (01:59:51):
If you want some coffee?

Speaker 12 (01:59:52):
No coffee?

Speaker 4 (01:59:53):
Why not fire?

Speaker 12 (01:59:55):

Speaker 6 (01:59:57):
Why the blossom fire? Right about that time?

Speaker 2 (02:00:01):
What's side trying to said?

Speaker 6 (02:00:03):
Smoke and no fire? You understand?

Speaker 12 (02:00:04):
And I'm not bad. Somebody might see it. Anybody you
ever see it? Rush fire up here in the canyons. No,
you don't want to see one, believe me.

Speaker 8 (02:00:14):
I guess there's only the one road to get out,
see I know. And we drive right into the hands
of the cops.

Speaker 3 (02:00:21):
Yeah, a good rains.

Speaker 12 (02:00:25):
It'll be all right.

Speaker 6 (02:00:27):
It doesn't feel much like rain now. So isn't this
the plate?

Speaker 12 (02:00:33):
I think it's a couple of hundred yards more.

Speaker 6 (02:00:35):
No, wait, there's a rush shaped like a bell.

Speaker 2 (02:00:39):
Sure, that's right, My gosh, I nearly got lost.

Speaker 6 (02:00:43):
But you can't go much farther to the canyon. I
can't the house.

Speaker 12 (02:00:46):
Sure, Hey, that's different here tonight. Nobody's there, isn't anybody.
Don't worry.

Speaker 5 (02:00:58):
I don't know.

Speaker 8 (02:01:00):
That's kaly, I forget why this is good?

Speaker 12 (02:01:07):
Good park here. You go ahead and unlock the door.

Speaker 15 (02:01:13):
Flashlight in the glove compartment.

Speaker 5 (02:01:16):
You go unlock it.

Speaker 2 (02:01:18):

Speaker 3 (02:01:52):
Where's that gun?

Speaker 6 (02:01:55):
What's the matter is that somebody?

Speaker 15 (02:02:10):
The house is gone? I said, The house is gone,
she said.

Speaker 12 (02:02:16):
And the house was gone.

Speaker 8 (02:02:18):
I saw it three and a half months before, and
it was there, a little framed cabin, three rooms, a
little porch, and a chine.

Speaker 39 (02:02:23):
As big as I I know.

Speaker 15 (02:02:25):
It was there then, But in the darkness that night
it was gone.

Speaker 20 (02:02:31):
Friend, I don't know.

Speaker 8 (02:02:33):
I checked up at a lone uphilliptus tree that stood
alongside the porch. The tree was there, the house was gone.
It wasn't the slightest sign that the house had ever
stood there, nothing dug up, no degree of any kind,
no sign had ever been a house. There in the
blom starlight in the middle of the knife, and my
wife and me looking at it, me holding a satcher

(02:02:56):
full of money in one hand and a loaded cop
pistol in the other, and top that friend.

Speaker 12 (02:03:06):
The medal started to cry.

I thought, it's where is the house?

Speaker 2 (02:03:28):
I don't know.

Speaker 12 (02:03:29):
Somebody must have torn it down and taken it away.

Speaker 14 (02:03:31):
Don't look as if there ever was a house here.

Speaker 12 (02:03:34):
You can't see in the dark. This is the place,
all right, This is shangri Lama.

Speaker 2 (02:03:40):

Speaker 12 (02:03:44):
And go where though, Oh no, what we do for
the love there give me that flash?

Speaker 2 (02:03:50):

Speaker 12 (02:03:54):
It's that over there. Looks like somebody's had a camp
fire here.

Speaker 2 (02:04:01):
Yeah, that's what it's gone.

Speaker 20 (02:04:06):
I'll oh.

Speaker 12 (02:04:09):
The people that tore down the house probably filled it
to burn up rubbish. That's probably don't.

Find anything, can't know a shudder?

Speaker 5 (02:04:16):
What are you gonna do?

Speaker 12 (02:04:18):
Nothing else to do? The back of sleep in the car.

Speaker 6 (02:04:22):
With those bags.

When the wind of the blood, blood and the money, baby,

I don't go for it.

Speaker 12 (02:04:40):
Look, sweetheart, where two.

Speaker 8 (02:04:42):
Jumps ahead of the cops were loaded with two bags
of money.

Speaker 7 (02:04:45):
They saw us knock off that guard. What do you
want to do?

Speaker 2 (02:04:48):
Go to a hotel in Santa Barbara.

Speaker 15 (02:04:52):
Don't be a jerk.

Speaker 5 (02:04:54):
I'm sorry, I'm putting myself. No, h.

Speaker 12 (02:05:02):
That's sick.

Speaker 2 (02:05:02):
Good ship.

Speaker 14 (02:05:05):
I hope you don't have to stay here very long.

Speaker 8 (02:05:08):
It'll rain any day now. Summer is over, baby, I
come on back to the car. I'm out on my feet.

Speaker 12 (02:05:18):
I wonder what that place down?

Speaker 8 (02:05:21):
That man shut it out these a million miles away
from here.

Speaker 20 (02:05:31):
There was a rifle shot.

Speaker 15 (02:05:33):
I wonder getting the car out, I'm getting the cart
it out.

Speaker 8 (02:05:41):
I'm hearing anything, Baby, somebody's out taking a pot shot
of the beer. Get inside the car. You hurt me,
and send anybody?

Speaker 20 (02:05:53):
What fuck?

Speaker 7 (02:05:59):
M fair?

Speaker 8 (02:06:16):
Where he stead on the little slope of the hill
above him behind us, The mist was drifting over the stars,
but I couldn't mistake him. Tacky's shirt bluely lively vised
no hat, rifle in his hand. I shouted at him,
but he didn't even.

Speaker 12 (02:06:32):
Look down at me. He raised his rifle fired.

Speaker 8 (02:06:37):
Immediately there was an answering dropped from somewhere over the
hills flow us. Madam was along alongside the cap crying.
I stood there, stood there, unable to move. And he
started down the hill toward us, and then a sudden
flory of shocks in the distance, like a chart in
an old time silent movie. He sumbled and fell down

(02:07:00):
the hill chartis and I could see this spreading stain
across his canty shirt ands starlight.

Speaker 3 (02:07:07):
And took his step toward him.

Speaker 15 (02:07:10):
He didn't even look at me.

Speaker 8 (02:07:13):
Painfully, oh so painfully, he grew himself up on his knees,
aimed the longest time, and he hired.

Speaker 2 (02:07:23):
One shot.

Speaker 15 (02:07:25):
Madeleine Madelon.

Speaker 8 (02:07:28):
I yelled, and all I could hear in the dark
was her button resting breath. And then I reached her.
Her sweater was black with blood. She could only get.
I raised the pistol an injured that the man who
had murdered my wife, and I pressed the trigger once, twice,
three four times. The man stood up again, and I

(02:07:49):
saw the bullet hit him in the starlight, and he
didn't even cringe. Silently, deliberately he reached in his pocket,
pulled out a match and struck it went down to
set fire to the summer dry grass. And how the
second the scene was bright as day, racing fire roared

(02:08:09):
of me or hard. We had time to snatch up
that on the hurry with the car shot away back where.

Speaker 3 (02:08:14):
We came from. There was nothing else to do.

Speaker 8 (02:08:18):
Time at Christian Canon trail of car Pere.

Speaker 2 (02:08:26):
Hanging at it.

Speaker 48 (02:08:28):
Time through the pan down did the sandy creek hire
always at our heels. And then just as we crossed
the creek, the.

Speaker 8 (02:08:38):
Rain began, un blessed rain, who was to have saved us?
Now that we'd been in Goodbye to summer, and at
the corners, good by the ranch, the police car was waiting,

(02:09:00):
and Madeline was dead. I told them under their guns,
and I could see they didn't believe me. I dabbled
about the rain, how it put out the fire, how
the house was gone.

Speaker 12 (02:09:22):
They laughed.

Speaker 8 (02:09:24):
And then it was morning, when it was broad daylight,
we went back up the canyon, up the twisting trail,
and there was no sign of fire, me and the police.
And when we got there from the daylight there was

(02:09:44):
the house, just because it always had been, and there
hasn't been any fire, not the night before anyway.

Speaker 12 (02:10:02):
One of the police officers told me about it. Remember,
or maybe you don't.

Speaker 8 (02:10:10):
Twenty seven years ago there was a fellow murdered a
couple up here and least Perham's Canyon, he said, and.

Speaker 12 (02:10:15):
He hid away up here.

Speaker 8 (02:10:18):
Twenty seven years ago, he said, NATOSSI came on him
at knighte and he killed him, but he managed to
set the.

Speaker 15 (02:10:25):
Grass on fire that night it burned out the whole countryside.

Speaker 3 (02:10:28):
He said.

Speaker 12 (02:10:30):
He was a bad man, he said, right up here.
I remember him so well. A hitchhiker.

Speaker 15 (02:10:37):
He was wore a pair of Levi's and the khaki shirt.

Speaker 2 (02:10:41):
Remember him very well, he.

Speaker 15 (02:10:42):
Said, so do I.

Speaker 9 (02:11:21):

Well, my dear, I suppose the evening has come to
an end. Soon the sun will be out, and well,

right here, same time, same place. But now I must
ask one more thing of you. As you make your
way home, as you wander through the woods, down the roads,
across the railroad tracks, as you go through the doorway

(02:12:28):
of your humble abode, take one moment before you fall asleep,
and just simply be thankful for what you have. And
I'll be seeing you soon.
