The CBS Radio Mystery Theater Present.

Speaker 6 (01:50):
Come in.

Speaker 7 (01:53):
Welcome.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
I'm E. G. Marshall. The Dream is that small secret
chamber in the deepest and most intimate sanctuary of the soul,
and we retreat there to find once again that primeval,
cosmic night, during which we ourselves were only dreams. Dust
you are, and to dust you shall return, says the book.

(02:18):
But it may also be that dream we are, and
to dream we return until the final awakening.

Speaker 8 (02:26):
You've been cheating on me.

Speaker 2 (02:28):
Oh honey, that's not true.

Speaker 8 (02:30):
You've been cheating since the day we were married. Here,
how can I conventure that I haven't been It's true.
You'll have to stop it.

Speaker 9 (02:39):
All of the police will find out.

Speaker 8 (02:41):
The police what police out?

Speaker 3 (02:44):
Did the police come in?

Speaker 10 (02:45):
Do it?

Speaker 8 (02:45):
So far?

Speaker 9 (02:46):
I'm the only one who knows you kill those three women?

Speaker 3 (02:49):
What three women?

Speaker 9 (02:50):
Don't play innocent?

Speaker 8 (02:52):
The police are going to.

Speaker 11 (02:54):
Learn the proof.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
Our mystery drama, my Fair Lady Killer was written especially
for the Mystery Theater by Sam Dan and stars Michael Tolan.
It is sponsored in part by x Lax and True
Value Hardware stores. I'll be that shortly with that one.

(03:30):
Her name is JONNIEA. Rowlinson. She's thirty two years old
with an attractive figure and a beautiful face. She was
the star of all the varsity dramas back at college,
and when she came to New York some ten years ago.
Armed with a letter of introduction to a Broadway producer
from the chairman of her drama department, she quickly discovered
that she was just another pretty face and that the theater,

(03:53):
which had gone on without her for at least four
thousand years, was going to go on without her for
at least four thousand more, And so she very wisely
got a job teaching drama in a suburb of New
York City. If it's not the real thing, well the
theater is all make believe anyway, isn't it.

Speaker 8 (04:19):
Hello? Hi, who can this be?

Speaker 12 (04:25):
I've got to see you?

Speaker 8 (04:26):
Really? Do you want to bring your wife along? Look?

Speaker 4 (04:29):
I have to explain about that.

Speaker 13 (04:31):
What precisely is there to explain?

Speaker 12 (04:34):
I was going to, Well, do you want to tell me.

Speaker 8 (04:38):
That you intend to divorce your wife so you can
marry me? Is that what you want to tell me?
Then you have nothing to tell me.

Speaker 4 (04:47):
We've both been around?

Speaker 8 (04:49):
Do you define that term been around?

Speaker 14 (04:51):
Why?

Speaker 8 (04:53):
Oh? Please excuse me. Someone's at my back door.

Speaker 12 (05:00):
Yeah, WHYMIAA Are you okay?

Speaker 2 (05:24):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (05:25):
Are you mister Terrence Selimon?

Speaker 8 (05:27):
Who would like to know?

Speaker 2 (05:28):
I would?

Speaker 15 (05:29):
My name is lister, Lieutenant Lister police. Oh yes, yes,
what can I do for you?

Speaker 6 (05:37):
You could allow me to come in?

Speaker 8 (05:38):
Oh yes, yes, of course. Please.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
Just something about a visit from the police serves to
a nervous person.

Speaker 6 (05:48):
Oh why, that's a good question.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
I don't know.

Speaker 15 (05:53):
Exactly four days ago and miss Swanita Rawlinson was murdered
in her apartment.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
Oh yes, I believe I read about it.

Speaker 15 (06:02):
She lived in a garden apartment on Llewellyn Circles.

Speaker 8 (06:05):
I think I remember reading about that address.

Speaker 15 (06:08):
Did you happen to know Miss Rolinson? Did I know
Miss Rolinson? No?

Speaker 8 (06:14):
No, no, I didn't.

Speaker 6 (06:15):
You are a Terence Felma.

Speaker 15 (06:16):
Don't you certainly you work for Northeastern Marketing Associates.

Speaker 8 (06:21):
Yes, I do, I see, Lieutenant.

Speaker 4 (06:25):
List or is it?

Speaker 2 (06:26):
Yeah? May I just ask what it is you see?

Speaker 15 (06:30):
Let's begin all over again. Did you know Miss jan
Needle Rawlinson?

Speaker 3 (06:36):
What is the purpose?

Speaker 6 (06:36):
Purpose is to get a truthful answer?

Speaker 8 (06:39):
Are you saying I answered you falsely?

Speaker 15 (06:41):
I'm saying I'm willing to start all over again. Did
you or did you not know Miss juan Needa Rawlinson.
I know what you're thinking. You're wondering, how much does
this cop really know? Can I stone wallet who knows
about one need and me?

Speaker 6 (06:59):
What can they prove? My advice to you is to
tell the truth.

Speaker 2 (07:03):
But I don't understand. I didn't know Miss Juanita Rawlinson.

Speaker 15 (07:09):
I guess then that's your answer. Miss Rolinson's sister is
in town. I don't know her either, and she advised
us to.

Speaker 6 (07:16):
Pick you up for questioning. There has to be some mistake.

Speaker 2 (07:19):
I have here copies of several letters.

Speaker 15 (07:21):
Miss Juanita Rollinson wrote to her sister, missus Andrews talk letters.
In her first letter, she talks about meeting the most
wonderful man in the world, the man of her dreams,
the man who is truly worth waiting for, Terrence Felmouth.
Why she describes the most beautiful romance. The interludes were
brief because wonderful Terry travels constantly for his company.

Speaker 6 (07:47):
But we meet where we can, when we can.

Speaker 8 (07:50):
I don't know what you what does get more specific?

Speaker 15 (07:53):
For instance, she mentions the fact that you spend time
with her at the airport motel.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
Why you can't what of it?

Speaker 15 (08:02):
I'm sure you could be identified by the employees there.
Not In the safe time, I will ask the question again,
did you know, miss Jannita Rawlinson. Yes, why did you
deny it the first time?

Speaker 2 (08:17):
Why?

Speaker 6 (08:18):
It was just well, you know, I'm afraid I don't know.

Speaker 15 (08:23):
Look, we're men of the world, lieutenanty for yourself, Okay, Okay.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
We met at a skate lodge. You know how people
meet in those kinds of places. Anyhow, I was in
it for a good time, why not?

Speaker 3 (08:37):
And I thought she was too.

Speaker 16 (08:40):
But you know how women are.

Speaker 2 (08:43):
I don't care how liberated they claim to be. In
the end, they all want the same thing that ring around.

Speaker 15 (08:48):
The finger, and that's what she wanted from you. Yeah,
so I ditched her, you know what I mean?

Speaker 6 (08:54):
Yes, I know what you mean. The problem is it
doesn't square with a subsequent letter she wrote to her sister.

Speaker 8 (09:01):
Well, I wouldn't know about that. How would I know?

Speaker 2 (09:04):
What?

Speaker 15 (09:04):
She writes, wrote, she found out that you were married,
and she became so infuriated she threatened to make you
pay for it.

Speaker 6 (09:12):
She said she'd go to your wife.

Speaker 15 (09:15):
Oh, your wife, miss Rawlinson says in her letter, is
the type of woman who would strip you clean and
then divorce you.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
Okay, I admit I know one, Needa Rawlinson, and.

Speaker 6 (09:27):
You admit the two of you were having an affair.

Speaker 2 (09:29):
Well, you make it sound rather tawdry. It was really
a beautiful friend.

Speaker 15 (09:33):
And so because of your wife and Wanita's anger was
highly emotional.

Speaker 2 (09:37):
In some respects you could say she was unstable.

Speaker 15 (09:41):
On the night of the eighteenth, which was exactly a
week ago, you arranged to meet at the airport motel.

Speaker 6 (09:49):
You admit that, Well, I I.

Speaker 2 (09:53):
Suppose you have the proof I did?

Speaker 6 (09:55):
We have.

Speaker 15 (09:57):
She confronted you with the fact of your marriage.

Speaker 6 (09:59):
She threatened to.

Speaker 15 (09:59):
Expose the affair to your wife. You told her if
she ever tried a thing like that, you'd kill her.

Speaker 4 (10:06):
I deny.

Speaker 15 (10:06):
It was a pretty good fight. There were complaints about
the noise. The death clerk came up. All right, all right, yeah, yeah,
that's true. And you did make threat, No I didn't.
We can produce witnesses or where they hurt in a minute.

Speaker 17 (10:19):
What's a threat?

Speaker 8 (10:20):
And tell me, I'll tell you.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
A threat is something you really mean to carry out. Sure,
I said to her, I'll kill you, but I didn't
mean it. No, But for that reason, it wasn't really
a threat, you see what I mean? No, Well, didn't
you ever blow your stack at somebody and say I'll.

Speaker 6 (10:38):
Kill you never.

Speaker 2 (10:41):
I know you don't like me, and maybe if you
knew what I have to put up.

Speaker 6 (10:44):
We have a murder and we have a man with
a motive.

Speaker 18 (10:47):
But I didn't kill her.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
I can prove I didn't kill her. Just before she died,
I called her up. You did on the telephone.

Speaker 8 (10:55):
I had to see her again.

Speaker 2 (10:57):
You know women, some women that like that, like.

Speaker 6 (10:59):
A drug You say, you telephone.

Speaker 2 (11:01):
Yeah, we were talking and I heard the doorbell. She said,
someone's at my back door, and she put down the.

Speaker 10 (11:06):
Phone to answer it.

Speaker 2 (11:07):
And then I heard kind of a groan or a moon,
and she didn't come back to the phone.

Speaker 6 (11:16):
What did you do?

Speaker 2 (11:17):
I hung on for a while, and I didn't.

Speaker 8 (11:20):
Know what to do, so I hung up.

Speaker 15 (11:22):
You said you heard a groan or a moon. You
couldn't tell which, No, I couldn't. But it did sound
as if she might have run into some kind of trouble.

Speaker 8 (11:29):
Oh, yes she did.

Speaker 6 (11:31):
Since you have gone to investigate, how.

Speaker 2 (11:33):
Could I I sneaked out of the house to make
a call from the drug store. I had to be
back home in five minutes to take my wife shopping.

Speaker 6 (11:40):
Shouldn't you have telephoned the police?

Speaker 8 (11:42):
Well, I suppose I should have, but I didn't want to.

Speaker 2 (11:45):
I was afraid i'd got involved.

Speaker 15 (11:46):
So, knowing that she might have been in serious trouble,
you simply forgot about the whole thing.

Speaker 2 (11:50):
You don't know my wife. She can make my life
a living hell.

Speaker 15 (11:53):
She was killed by a bullet from a thirty two
caliber revolve an divorced, so she has all of Miss
Rowlinson did not die instantly.

Speaker 8 (12:00):
I couldn't want you to understand.

Speaker 15 (12:01):
He fell to the floor unconscious. Her body wasn't discovered
until three hours later. It's possible that if she had
prompt medical help, she might still be alive.

Speaker 6 (12:16):
What I did.

Speaker 19 (12:17):
I know it was despicable.

Speaker 2 (12:21):
Oh yeah, yeah, I know, but it certainly wasn't against
the law.

Speaker 15 (12:25):
Of course, we only have your word for the telephone call.

Speaker 4 (12:28):
Oh no, I called.

Speaker 6 (12:29):
How can you prove that you were the one who
made it?

Speaker 8 (12:33):
I tell you I called her.

Speaker 6 (12:35):
On the other hand, you could be the one who
killed her.

Speaker 8 (12:38):
No, No, I didn't.

Speaker 6 (12:40):
You had the motive.

Speaker 8 (12:41):
You've got to believe me.

Speaker 6 (12:42):
I've also got a book you me, What does that mean?

Speaker 2 (12:45):
As a material witness at the very least, well makes
you think this Foumus is the killer list captain.

Speaker 6 (12:59):
It's written all.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
Over his face, maybe, but it's not written down in
a confession.

Speaker 6 (13:03):
He's never going to confess.

Speaker 2 (13:04):
Why not.

Speaker 15 (13:05):
He can't afford it. He has to maintain his innocence
in front of his wife.

Speaker 2 (13:09):
Yeah, but what have we really got?

Speaker 6 (13:11):
Motives? He threatened to kill her?

Speaker 2 (13:14):
Oh, you got the motive and he threatened to kill her.
You know what a good lawyer can do with that
kind of circumstantial evidence if.

Speaker 6 (13:22):
I can get it out of them, Cassing.

Speaker 2 (13:24):
He doesn't have to talk to you.

Speaker 6 (13:25):
I just leave it to me.

Speaker 2 (13:27):
Frank, you just don't like this guy, so you're letting
you feel I admit it.

Speaker 6 (13:32):
I don't like him. What did you do with the gun?

Speaker 2 (13:39):
What?

Speaker 6 (13:40):
What the thirty two caliber you used to kill her?

Speaker 3 (13:43):
I didn't kill her.

Speaker 6 (13:44):
Were past all that, mister Fowler.

Speaker 2 (13:46):
I could prove it. They say she was shot at
at a quarter to eleven in the morning, At eleven o'clock,
I was with my wife.

Speaker 8 (13:53):
We were out shopping.

Speaker 2 (13:54):
You said it.

Speaker 15 (13:54):
At the time of the killing, you were talking to
her from.

Speaker 2 (13:57):
A phone booth. It's true.

Speaker 15 (13:59):
You live at one thing seen Roger's place. The nearest
phone booth is at the corner of Boulevard, and that's
at least minutes away. We timed it. Miss Rawlinson lived
over at Llewellyn's Circle. It takes only three minutes to
drive there from your house. You really have no alibi
didn't kill her.

Speaker 6 (14:16):
I'm trying to save your life. Why I don't know.
I guess it's because you have kids.

Speaker 2 (14:21):
I had no right to do what I did. I'm
a thoroughly despicable man, but I don't deserve to be
trying for murder.

Speaker 15 (14:26):
Go ahead insists you didn't do it. You won't convince
one member.

Speaker 2 (14:30):
Of that jury.

Speaker 6 (14:31):
They won't even have to leave the box to find
your guilty of murder.

Speaker 3 (14:34):
One.

Speaker 15 (14:34):
Oh admit it. Say you're only humans. Say you couldn't
help yourself. Say you saw your whole world coming apart.
The jury's made up of human beings. They can understand
that you won't get off.

Speaker 2 (14:47):
You'll pay, but the price won't be so high. I incent.

Speaker 15 (14:51):
Your problem is you don't listen, deny it, and you
get the book thrown at your life confession. You're up
before you're even fifty years old. That's still young enough
to start life all over again.

Speaker 4 (15:04):
Buddy has to believe me.

Speaker 2 (15:07):
I want to say, from a minute, okay, Captain, come on,
I said, okay, Frank, we gotta let him go to
frown him. Don't you think why he's obviously guilty? Oh, Frank,
he's innocent. We can prove it.

Speaker 4 (15:36):
Well.

Speaker 2 (15:37):
We knew all along that mister Terrence Talmot with innocence.
That was never the issue as.

Speaker 14 (15:42):
Far as we're concerned.

Speaker 2 (15:43):
But for a while there it looked as if we
might have been in for one of those classic miscarriages.

Speaker 4 (15:49):
Of justice story.

Speaker 10 (15:51):
Obviously, we're not what kind of story will this turn
out to be?

Speaker 2 (15:56):
You will find out as soon as the second act begins.
Some people are so suited for the role of murderer,
and we are so anxious to have them found guilty

(16:16):
because they are so thoroughly unlikable that we would actually
enjoy seeing them punished. However, unfortunately or fortunately, depending entirely
on your personal point of view, we cannot condemn people
to prison or execution merely because we don't like them.

Speaker 6 (16:35):
What do you mean, he's innocent, Captain.

Speaker 2 (16:38):
There's been another murder. So that's a victim was shot
with a bullet fired from the same gun.

Speaker 6 (16:47):
I don't believe it.

Speaker 2 (16:48):
You don't wantam It's impossible. Myers over the lab says
he's never seen a more identical match in all the
years he's been on the job. No, there's no mistake.

Speaker 15 (16:58):
Okay, okay, what Palomouth killed it? Then he throws the
gun away, somebody finds it uses our comar. Palmouth has
to be guilty.

Speaker 2 (17:08):
Okay, you're off the case. Hey, no, wait enot, you
have lost your perspective. Ain't foul of some much now
you know? Oh, the world's most likabul human.

Speaker 4 (17:18):
He ain't.

Speaker 15 (17:18):
Even if he wasn't the one who pulled the trigger,
he had a part in her death.

Speaker 6 (17:23):
The story about the phone call is true. Why didn't
get help for her?

Speaker 2 (17:26):
Frank, you can hate him for that, but you can't
send them to Jay.

Speaker 6 (17:30):
We talk about justice.

Speaker 2 (17:32):
There's gonna be justice for mister Pallmouth. There is already
his wife. No, she'll make them pay now. But you
have to find out there's not all who kills Nita Robinson,
but also who kills Sarah Jean Tompkins.

Speaker 15 (17:55):
Missus Tompkins, you say you were sitting in the living
room with your daughter in Yes.

Speaker 8 (18:01):
I had come here against my will.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
Why is that important?

Speaker 8 (18:05):
It's a highly personal matter in a.

Speaker 15 (18:06):
Murder case, anything everything is important.

Speaker 8 (18:10):
Even washing dirty linen in public.

Speaker 15 (18:13):
Missus Topkins, the police will try to protect your privacy.

Speaker 14 (18:17):
I doubt it.

Speaker 13 (18:18):
I came here to see if I could affect a
reconciliation between Sarah Jean and my son.

Speaker 8 (18:24):
They'd been separated.

Speaker 6 (18:26):
Why Why.

Speaker 13 (18:30):
Because the woman was simply a tar. Yes, she claimed
that Bertram, my son, was too dull.

Speaker 6 (18:37):
For her, and that made her a tart A mother knows.

Speaker 3 (18:41):
Did you approve of the marriage?

Speaker 8 (18:43):
Certainly not?

Speaker 6 (18:45):
And I take it you were not made unhappy by
the separation.

Speaker 13 (18:47):
Uh A divorce would have made me happier.

Speaker 6 (18:50):
And why were you trying to get them back together?

Speaker 8 (18:53):
Force of habit?

Speaker 6 (18:55):
I don't understand.

Speaker 13 (18:57):
Ever, since he was born, I endowed Bertram in all
of his whims. Perhaps that was wrong, but I gave
him whatever he wanted.

Speaker 8 (19:07):
He wanted her back, So there's a case of.

Speaker 13 (19:11):
Money gratifying another one of her.

Speaker 8 (19:12):
Little boy's wishes.

Speaker 15 (19:14):
You were here when it happened, Please tell me about it.

Speaker 8 (19:19):
She sat there, the minx.

Speaker 13 (19:21):
She knew she was in complete control. In a sense,
each of us knew we'd made a deal and she
was now about to set the price, but the door
buzzer sounded the rear door. She said, excuse me. She
went back there to answer it. Someone was there, and
that someone killed her.

Speaker 15 (19:42):
You couldn't see anything, Oh no, no, there's a door
in between the kitchen door.

Speaker 6 (19:46):
You didn't hear a shot?

Speaker 8 (19:47):
No, but I wasn't listening.

Speaker 6 (19:49):
Still, you would have heard a shot.

Speaker 8 (19:52):
Couldn't the killer have used.

Speaker 13 (19:53):
One of those thing of a jigs in the movies
oft silence?

Speaker 8 (19:56):
They get the silencer. I saw one in the film and.

Speaker 13 (20:00):
Makes this sort of popping sound. I may have heard
something like that.

Speaker 3 (20:05):
What did you do? Well?

Speaker 13 (20:06):
I didn't do anything at first. Few minutes went by
and she.

Speaker 10 (20:11):
Didn't come back.

Speaker 8 (20:13):
Finally I called up to her.

Speaker 13 (20:15):
She didn't answer, so I decided to go out to
the kitchen and there she was on the floor.

Speaker 7 (20:24):
She was dead.

Speaker 6 (20:26):
And I called the police, and you saw no one.

Speaker 8 (20:28):
I didn't see or hear it. Soul.

Speaker 13 (20:30):
In exactly five minutes, the police car arrived.

Speaker 6 (20:34):
Do you know anyone who would want to kill her?

Speaker 17 (20:36):
Well?

Speaker 15 (20:37):
I would, but I didn't anyone else.

Speaker 9 (20:41):
She was a Let me state this correctly. She was
a sexual woman.

Speaker 13 (20:47):
By that, I mean she had that aura about her promise.

Speaker 8 (20:52):
Do you follow me? Of course you do.

Speaker 6 (20:55):
Being a man, what are you getting at?

Speaker 13 (20:58):
Such a woman attracts a great many men and must
end by disappointing them. Really, Lieutenant, you know what I mean.

Speaker 8 (21:06):
They go from man to man, and some men.

Speaker 13 (21:09):
Refuse to be dropped. They become violent.

Speaker 6 (21:13):
Could your son have been such a man, Missus Tupkins.

Speaker 9 (21:16):
No, Bertram couldn't have killed he.

Speaker 6 (21:18):
How can you be sure?

Speaker 13 (21:19):
Well, Bertram is in Paris on business. He's been there
for the last two weeks. He's due back today.

Speaker 15 (21:26):
However, Missus Tompkins, you say your daughter in law, Sarah Jean.

Speaker 6 (21:30):
Has been active with other men. Can you name any.

Speaker 13 (21:35):
I don't know anyone's name specifically, but I do know, however,
that she.

Speaker 8 (21:41):
Must have been.

Speaker 6 (21:43):
Could you tell me if she knew of one Needa Rawlinston?

Speaker 8 (21:46):
I Needa Rawlinston. What is that named? Familiar? Oh?

Speaker 9 (21:50):
Yes, it was in the paper and on the news
just recently. She was also murdered, and not very far
from here.

Speaker 8 (21:56):
In this very neighborhood.

Speaker 9 (21:59):
Could there be a connection.

Speaker 8 (22:02):
Oh excuse me.

Speaker 2 (22:04):
Hello, his lieutenant listed there?

Speaker 8 (22:08):
Please, Well, just a moment, it's for you.

Speaker 2 (22:11):
Well, thank you a list right, get over here right away.
We got another.

Speaker 6 (22:18):
One another what captain, another.

Speaker 2 (22:20):
Murder another day, the same guns.

Speaker 6 (22:28):
Who is she?

Speaker 19 (22:28):
Captain?

Speaker 2 (22:30):
Marilyn Wallas, divorced, lived alone at Underwood Terrace, age thirty seven, blonde, attractive,
worked as a draft woman for an engineer out for.

Speaker 6 (22:40):
Okay, she's in the thirties. So the other two attracted.

Speaker 15 (22:45):
So were the other two lived alone as they did too,
in a garden apartment. It's all happening in the same neighborhood.

Speaker 2 (22:52):
Which means we got ourselves a nut who goes around
shooting good looking women's. Okay, check it out, But I'll
bet you won't find a single connection between any of
those three women.

Speaker 15 (23:04):
You say, a nut. But what kind of nut are
we dealing with?

Speaker 3 (23:13):
What kind of man are we looking for?

Speaker 6 (23:15):
Doctor Dinsmore.

Speaker 2 (23:16):
We're in the realm here of a psychosexual disorder we have.
I'm quite certain the male who has been singularly unsuccessful
with women, Yes, a killer of attractive women. It's not
a new phenomenon. Usually is the son of a dominant,
aggressive mother and a weak but ineffectual father. The mother

(23:37):
spoils shows him of afection, he comes to identify with her. However,
since she is the female symbol in his life, he
now lives in dread of incest. Therefore, since he sees
all women is his mother, he's unsuccessful as a lover,
and therefore he kills for He's not aware of all this.
He only knows he cannot consummate a relationship with a woman.

(23:59):
Anger frustrated, he uses another sexual symbol, the gun. I
see now, you're looking for a man who's approaching middle age.
He is shy, repressed, either lives alone or with his mother.
He's not married, of course not. How could he be?

Speaker 6 (24:17):
Thank you, doctor, It's all relatively simple.

Speaker 2 (24:25):
Where'd you get with a shrink?

Speaker 15 (24:27):
The doctor told me we were looking for a nut,
and we always know that.

Speaker 6 (24:31):
Well, now we know what kind of nut.

Speaker 2 (24:33):
How do you want to handle this, Frank.

Speaker 6 (24:36):
I know who.

Speaker 15 (24:36):
We're looking for a guy who isn't out of place.

Speaker 2 (24:40):
What do you mean?

Speaker 15 (24:40):
It's all respectable, middle class. The killer is the guy
who belongs there. You don't see him because he's too obvious.

Speaker 2 (24:47):
He lives there.

Speaker 15 (24:48):
He's the mailman, a delivery guy, a maintenance man, a cop,
a cop, anybody who.

Speaker 6 (24:55):
Has legitimate business.

Speaker 15 (24:58):
Anybody who go around to the back of the garden
apartments without giving anyone a reason to say to himself
or herself, Hey, who is this? What business does he
have back there?

Speaker 4 (25:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (25:08):
I follow that.

Speaker 6 (25:09):
Here's what we have to do.

Speaker 15 (25:12):
We have three addresses, we have the times for the
three murders. Is there a way we can tie one
person to all three places?

Speaker 2 (25:23):
You mean the same delivery guy could be pegged at
those places at the time of each kind.

Speaker 15 (25:28):
I never said it specifically was a delivery guy. Just
find one person who was at each address for whatever reason.

Speaker 2 (25:35):
It's going to be some job.

Speaker 6 (25:38):
Is there anything else we can do?

Speaker 20 (25:44):
Now?

Speaker 6 (25:44):
Missus carry I want you.

Speaker 9 (25:45):
To think, well, it's Homemost three weeks ago.

Speaker 8 (25:49):
Office there.

Speaker 15 (25:51):
It was a day that should stand out in your memory.
Miss Juanita Rawlinson, your neighbor was murdered.

Speaker 8 (25:56):
Oh yes, the poor poor Gerald.

Speaker 15 (26:00):
Did you notice anyone around the building. Well, no, were
there any delivery trucks?

Speaker 8 (26:08):
Delivery?

Speaker 9 (26:09):
Oh well yes, the one from Ruby and Townsend that
you know all.

Speaker 8 (26:15):
The departments too.

Speaker 6 (26:16):
I know what time did the truck?

Speaker 21 (26:18):
Oh?

Speaker 9 (26:18):
I remember, I remember I had to stay home and wait.

Speaker 8 (26:23):
I think it was about a quarter to eleven.

Speaker 9 (26:27):
Oh, they were prompt, they promise you they yet, Yes,
the truck was there a quarter of eleven.

Speaker 6 (26:34):
Thank you, missus. Carey.

Speaker 2 (26:42):
Okay, here's a master list. We have seventeen delivery trucks.
No two were at all three places. You got to
telephone start. But he was only the Tompkins location. The
proud cars had covered. The neighborhoods are out because there
are times are logged to show they couldn't have been
many of them there at the required time.

Speaker 15 (27:03):
We've been days, weeks trying to recreate this thing, and
we're nowhere, Lieutenant mister yeah, yes, yes, I remember you
Metter Janoski. Now, yes, I did say if you could
remember anyone else you remember, I wish.

Speaker 6 (27:23):
I could get rid of this whole guy.

Speaker 2 (27:24):
He just choose your hero.

Speaker 15 (27:25):
Who is the janitor at the place where this divorce
he Maryland Walters was murdered.

Speaker 6 (27:31):
Yes, yes, mister Janowski.

Speaker 2 (27:34):
Yeah, I know, I know how hard it is to remember. Yeah, well, keeping,
what what.

Speaker 6 (27:42):
Do you mean? What's his name?

Speaker 15 (27:45):
Price? Alvin Price? Well, thank you, yes, yes, goodbye? What
you got, lister, I don't know a guy named Price,
Alvin Price?

Speaker 2 (28:00):
Hey, what about him?

Speaker 6 (28:01):
He's a landscape gardener.

Speaker 2 (28:03):
Why wasn't his name on the list?

Speaker 15 (28:04):
Maybe because of the way we've been asking the questions.
Most people think we've been looking for strangers, for delivery
men and maintenance people.

Speaker 4 (28:11):
They don't know.

Speaker 2 (28:13):
So what about this price?

Speaker 6 (28:15):
He's a landscaping garden man.

Speaker 2 (28:17):
He works there regularly, and at the other places.

Speaker 6 (28:21):
Do That's what we're gonna find out?

Speaker 8 (28:30):
Where you're going tonight?

Speaker 2 (28:32):
Al Oh, I got to go out fullish, just on business.

Speaker 3 (28:37):
And on business?

Speaker 9 (28:38):
Do you mean you're kind of cut grass in the dark?
You gotta plant bushes in the middle of the night.

Speaker 6 (28:43):
I just gotta meet a guy, a guy.

Speaker 22 (28:46):
Huh?

Speaker 3 (28:46):
But for crying out loud? Will you cut that out?

Speaker 2 (28:49):
According to you, I'm having an affair with every day
in Morland.

Speaker 8 (28:52):
County, almost every day.

Speaker 3 (28:53):
Look, I don't play a round.

Speaker 9 (28:56):
I got a great job for a lover life. You
all those good looking dames all alone in the house
during the day while the hobby is gone?

Speaker 2 (29:05):
What can I do to make you believe you could
spend more time at home?

Speaker 23 (29:10):
Go?

Speaker 3 (29:10):
Shoot?

Speaker 2 (29:11):
Look, I got a chance to put to a deal tonight.

Speaker 8 (29:15):
What's their name?

Speaker 9 (29:16):
No, it's legitimate, Okay, Okay, don't say I.

Speaker 3 (29:20):
Didn't warn you, honey.

Speaker 8 (29:22):
Married man who plays around, but I don't. Come on now.

Speaker 3 (29:27):
You're talking to me, Okay, have.

Speaker 8 (29:29):
It your way, but it isn't my way. It's your way.
You're the one who won't listen to read stall your house.

Speaker 9 (29:38):
If you keep this up, you can get into more
trouble than you can handle.

Speaker 8 (29:42):
Know, you let me.

Speaker 9 (29:45):
Three women have been killed this past month.

Speaker 3 (29:48):
What's that got to do with me?

Speaker 8 (29:50):
You don't know?

Speaker 9 (29:52):
You really intend to stand there and tell me you
don't know? No, I don't you mean to tell me
you didn't do it.

Speaker 2 (30:01):
Plicia, You must admit we have suddenly introduced not only
two new characters, but quite likely a solution to our problem.
We have here mister Alvin Price and his spouse Felicia.

(30:21):
The name Felicia is Latin for felicity, but the situation
in the Price household is anything but felicitous. Well, things
may become happier in acts three, and then again they
may not. We'll continue shortly. We're involved, as you know,

(30:47):
in a series of brutal, senseless murders three to be
exact of women whose only offense seems to be that
they are beautiful and seductive. Are we dealing here with
a jack the first syndrome?

Speaker 10 (31:01):
Who knows?

Speaker 2 (31:03):
We only know. There is a serious confrontation between a
landscape gardener named al Price and.

Speaker 8 (31:08):
His wife Felicia Flicia.

Speaker 18 (31:11):
What do you saying?

Speaker 9 (31:13):
I'm saying you kill those three women?

Speaker 24 (31:15):
Why?

Speaker 9 (31:16):
You're crazy'll kill others? And I'll tell you why?

Speaker 14 (31:20):
Shut up.

Speaker 9 (31:21):
I'm trying to save your life. That you can't resist
a beautiful woman.

Speaker 25 (31:26):
But you're all prominent, no performance.

Speaker 9 (31:29):
Oh you're as handsome as a Greek god, but it's
only on the outside.

Speaker 7 (31:36):
And then they.

Speaker 8 (31:37):
Laugh at you.

Speaker 9 (31:38):
You can't stand that. That's why you kill them.

Speaker 3 (31:41):
You are crazy and you're a fool.

Speaker 9 (31:44):
Sooner or later you have to get caught. Oh well,
stop now before it's too late.

Speaker 2 (31:50):
Oh come all right, I'm getting out of here.

Speaker 8 (31:52):
Oh you'd like to kill me too, wouldn't you.

Speaker 9 (31:55):
Well, I don't care.

Speaker 8 (31:56):
Go ahead, kill me like you did the others. I
don't count you kill me.

Speaker 26 (32:03):
I love you all.

Speaker 8 (32:04):
I want to save you.

Speaker 9 (32:06):
I'll stay home, stay with me, be happy with me,
don't be kempted.

Speaker 8 (32:12):
All I understand you.

Speaker 14 (32:15):
I love you.

Speaker 15 (32:23):
Okay, you're sure you're hired in the work on that
day and he was there. Yeah, thank you, mister Collins.

Speaker 2 (32:32):
Oh you got knowledge to we could very well have.

Speaker 6 (32:35):
Our man captain. He was at all three places at
the time of each killing.

Speaker 2 (32:41):
You cannot be prone.

Speaker 15 (32:42):
Absolutely, there are timesheets witnesses what don't amounts to Is
this the morning miss Jannita Rawlinson is murdered, Alvin Price
was working around her apartment building. The morning missus Sarah
Jeane Tompkins is killed, Alvin Price is working in her
garden apartment building. The same thing for missus Merrill Waters. Yeah,
well you could start. I'll tell you what bothers me.

(33:06):
Our Price simply doesn't fit the psychological.

Speaker 2 (33:08):
Profile at It may be true all.

Speaker 15 (33:10):
The psychiatrists and psychologists have been having a field day
with this thing. They come up with a repressed, timid,
unmarried guy, and our Price is anything but.

Speaker 2 (33:22):
Price is told good looking and he's.

Speaker 6 (33:24):
Married to a good looking woman too.

Speaker 15 (33:27):
So what do you suggests we do now?

Speaker 2 (33:31):
We don't have enough to get an indictment. The factor
to is at all three places when the killing is
the curt sounds great, but can you get a jury
to convict on that alone?

Speaker 6 (33:41):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (33:42):
Oh, we need more.

Speaker 6 (33:44):
What do you suggests?

Speaker 2 (33:46):
Oh? He could. We could share him night and day,
maybe catch him just before he can do the next one.

Speaker 15 (33:51):
Yeah, but he could decide never to kill again. Well,
maybe not for another five years.

Speaker 6 (33:57):
Then where are we?

Speaker 2 (33:58):
Where are we now?

Speaker 6 (34:01):
He uses the same gun.

Speaker 2 (34:03):
If he had any brains, he'd get rid of the
gun and get a different one for each killing.

Speaker 15 (34:07):
If we had any brains, he wouldn't commit murder in
the first place. The fact that he uses the same
gun means he has to keep it hidden somewhere.

Speaker 2 (34:15):
All he works out of his house and he keeps
his tools in the garage.

Speaker 6 (34:20):
We gotta find that gun. It's the only way we
can tie him into it.

Speaker 2 (34:25):
That's a problem because if we give him any costs
to suspect we're on him, he can get rid of
that gun and then we've.

Speaker 15 (34:31):
Lost him forever. Well, we don't have him, miss Way either.
I say, let's go for broke.

Speaker 2 (34:38):
Okay, we'll get a warrant. Yes, police officers and missus
Alvin Price, what do you want here? Your husband home?
Why he got a warrant for his arrest?

Speaker 4 (34:58):
Arrest?

Speaker 2 (35:00):
What suspicion of homicide?

Speaker 8 (35:02):
Oh no, No, you can't come in. I won't let you.

Speaker 6 (35:05):
I'm sorry, Missus Price.

Speaker 3 (35:08):
Hey, what's going on here?

Speaker 6 (35:09):
We're police officers.

Speaker 2 (35:11):
We have a warrant for your arrest. There must be
some mistakely we come in. Look what's all this about?

Speaker 15 (35:21):
You're not required to answer any questions.

Speaker 3 (35:23):
What's the arrest for?

Speaker 6 (35:25):
Suspicion of murder?

Speaker 3 (35:27):
Martin?

Speaker 15 (35:29):
I didn't care I missjon Nito Rawlinson, Missus Sarah Jean Tompkins,
Missus Marilyn Waters.

Speaker 6 (35:38):
You deny you know these women?

Speaker 2 (35:40):
Oh no, I've been working around the apartment houses. I'm
sure I might have known some of them by side.

Speaker 8 (35:46):
Shut up, you fool. Don't say another woman.

Speaker 3 (35:48):
I didn't do anything for me.

Speaker 15 (35:49):
We also have a warrant to search your house. What
for a thirty two caliber revolver?

Speaker 3 (35:55):
Right?

Speaker 2 (35:55):
Go ahead?

Speaker 3 (35:56):
I got nothing to hide.

Speaker 8 (35:57):
Hell are you just going to stand here and let
these cars?

Speaker 16 (36:00):
I frame?

Speaker 3 (36:00):
Yousia?

Speaker 2 (36:01):
I said I got nothing to hide. Now, go ahead,
office or search a house for all the good it'll
do you.

Speaker 6 (36:11):
Mister Price, you recognize this, recognize what this thirty two
caliber revolver and the silence are attached.

Speaker 3 (36:21):
No, I never saw it before. My life.

Speaker 6 (36:24):
We found it in the basement.

Speaker 9 (36:25):
Now, don't you see what they're trying to do. They're
trying to frame you.

Speaker 3 (36:28):
But it's not mine.

Speaker 15 (36:29):
You'll have to come with us, mister Price.

Speaker 3 (36:31):
I swear it's not mine.

Speaker 15 (36:37):
Why did you do it? I didn't do it at your gun?
Killed all three of them.

Speaker 3 (36:42):
But it's not my gun.

Speaker 6 (36:43):
You're gonna have a tough time with that in the courtroom.

Speaker 3 (36:46):
Somebody's gonna believe me.

Speaker 6 (36:47):
We've done some investigating.

Speaker 2 (36:49):
Why would I own a gun? What would I want
with a gun?

Speaker 6 (36:52):
You do like the ladies?

Speaker 3 (36:54):
All right?

Speaker 2 (36:54):
Why is that against the law? You couldn't stay away?
Is that why I'm arrested?

Speaker 15 (37:00):
How you'd killed those women? You were there and you
owned the gun.

Speaker 3 (37:05):
Hey, lieutenant you.

Speaker 2 (37:08):
You really believe that, don't you?

Speaker 10 (37:10):
Yeah, this is.

Speaker 3 (37:13):
Not a dream.

Speaker 2 (37:14):
I could go and try. I could be found Gilly. Yes,
I don't know what to say except I'm innocent.

Speaker 6 (37:21):
I'm sure your lawyer will find a way.

Speaker 16 (37:23):
You don't understand.

Speaker 3 (37:24):
I didn't know it.

Speaker 6 (37:25):
Probably plead insanity and you aren't crazy.

Speaker 3 (37:27):
To kill like that. But I'm not crazy, you know, Brook.

Speaker 15 (37:31):
It could have all been done and what's known as
a fit a violent passion.

Speaker 2 (37:36):
Maybe I am crazy. If I listen to you much longer,
I'll be convinced.

Speaker 19 (37:39):
How did you.

Speaker 15 (37:41):
It doesn't make any difference. But did you know any
of those three women?

Speaker 27 (37:47):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (37:48):
Yeah, I knew all of them.

Speaker 6 (37:50):
I thought, so, how well.

Speaker 3 (37:55):
Real?

Speaker 6 (37:55):
Will I see?

Speaker 3 (37:58):
Tell it? I can't help but.

Speaker 8 (37:59):
I I.

Speaker 2 (38:02):
Can't stay away from dames. Maybe it's not help me
that can't seem to stay away from me either.

Speaker 6 (38:07):
You were heading an affair with each one of them.

Speaker 3 (38:10):
There's a lot of lonely women's.

Speaker 2 (38:12):
But why did you kill him? Why did you have
to kill him?

Speaker 3 (38:16):
I don't know. I don't know what. I don't remember
killing it.

Speaker 6 (38:22):
Okay, but that's not the same thing as saying you
didn't kill it.

Speaker 3 (38:26):
I don't know what I'm saying anymore.

Speaker 6 (38:29):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 (38:31):
It doesn't even matter. You guys have got me nails
close to the wall.

Speaker 3 (38:38):
I'll never get loose.

Speaker 15 (38:46):
Frank, where you've been at the sentencing captain?

Speaker 4 (38:51):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (38:51):
Who sentence? Oh Price?

Speaker 2 (38:54):
Oh that was a long time ago, that case. He
was just sentenced today. Yeah, I didn't know you were
following it to me. When I turn over to the DA,
they're out of my life.

Speaker 15 (39:08):
Yeah, well, it's it says that this guy out price, I.

Speaker 6 (39:13):
Couldn't make up my mind about him.

Speaker 2 (39:15):
Why not? I thought it was open and shut. He
knew the woman he was in with him, he was
there when each was killed. Me had the murder whipon.

Speaker 15 (39:22):
Maybe, but it's it's too open and shut. Like you
try to say he didn't do it, and I'm saying, well,
I don't know. What did the judge say? Life way
she that's how it goes? Something uh something about it?

(39:42):
What I wish I could put my finger on it.

Speaker 2 (39:46):
I wish I could really believe he was guilty or
he absolutely convinced he's innocent. Man, I guess we'll never know.

Speaker 8 (40:04):
Hello, Darling, hopefully.

Speaker 2 (40:08):
Sure it's a bad day out.

Speaker 3 (40:12):
You didn't have to come here in this weather.

Speaker 8 (40:14):
Oh these visits all I have to live for now.

Speaker 2 (40:21):
Can't be much fun for you.

Speaker 9 (40:24):
My whole life with you hasn't been much fun. I
knew you never loved me.

Speaker 8 (40:30):
You married me because I.

Speaker 9 (40:32):
Was beautiful and my father had money.

Speaker 3 (40:36):
You love cool.

Speaker 8 (40:37):
When the cash ran out and my looks faded.

Speaker 9 (40:39):
Oh please, Felicia, don't you see I was stuck because
I still loved you.

Speaker 10 (40:49):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 8 (40:49):
I knew there were other women.

Speaker 10 (40:51):
Oh, you tried to lie about it.

Speaker 3 (40:53):
I didn't want to hurt you, lit you did, so I.

Speaker 8 (40:59):
Knew about which of them. I'm sorry. Keep saying you're sorry?

Speaker 6 (41:03):
What else can I say?

Speaker 3 (41:05):
We were married.

Speaker 9 (41:05):
Less than a year when you were unfaithful to me.

Speaker 3 (41:07):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 8 (41:09):
Say that word again.

Speaker 9 (41:12):
You couldn't wait to leave me and be with someone else,
and I, poor, foolish me, I just took it. I'm
warning you. Say anything you wish, but don't say you
are sorry.

Speaker 8 (41:26):
God, you're not.

Speaker 9 (41:28):
This went on for our entire married life, and then
one day I decided to put a stop to it.
I would end all of your extramarital things.

Speaker 3 (41:42):
I was sorry.

Speaker 9 (41:43):
Oh you're not nearly as sorry as you're going to be.
Why should I sit home, the poor, helpless little housewife
wringing her hands, crying her eyes out.

Speaker 3 (41:53):
Foolish?

Speaker 8 (41:55):
Oh no, not yet?

Speaker 9 (41:59):
I said I would stop it. And months ago I
decided how. I bought a gun, a thirty two caliber revolver,
a silencer. I followed you when you left for work out.
I saw who you knew lady friends were, and you
know you didn't, Yes, I did. I made sure you

(42:22):
would never be unfaithful to me again. That's why I
killed them.

Speaker 8 (42:28):
You you killed him?

Speaker 9 (42:31):
That's right, and you're going to stay here for the
rest of your life.

Speaker 3 (42:38):
Whifles you?

Speaker 8 (42:39):
Why I swore no other woman? Whatever?

Speaker 17 (42:42):
Have you?

Speaker 14 (42:42):
No?

Speaker 8 (42:43):
No other women? Never will?

Speaker 9 (42:44):
You're here, You're safe.

Speaker 28 (42:48):
You're my God.

Speaker 25 (42:50):
God, she's guilty.

Speaker 3 (42:52):
She'd met you.

Speaker 9 (42:54):
Get up, Hey, God, I didn't know it.

Speaker 29 (42:58):
She killed them.

Speaker 2 (43:10):
And here the story ends, or does it the way
we heard it? He's innocent, but can we be sure?
He claims he didn't kill them? But who says he's
telling the truth? Why should she confess to him that
she's the guilty one? You must admit it's a terrific

(43:31):
form of revenge. And she has been the woman scorned? Well?
Who says life is simple? I shall return very shortly.

(43:55):
What we've been listening to is a story that deals
with the ways of.

Speaker 10 (43:59):
Men and women.

Speaker 2 (44:00):
Now, surely there is no other field of activity so volatile,
so unpredictable. The problem is, we really don't know why
we fall in love or out of love. The same
passion that will inspire us to love another human being
can drive us to kill him or her, As the

(44:22):
case maybe. Our cast included Michael Tolan, Briana Rayburn, Joan Shay,
Ian Martin and Bill Griffiths. The entire production was under
the direction of Hyman Brown Radio. Mystery Theater was sponsored
in part by Buick Motor Division.

Speaker 6 (44:39):
Missus E. G.

Speaker 2 (44:40):
Marshall inviting you to return to our Mystery Theater for
another adventure in the macabre. Until next time, pleasant dream.

Speaker 30 (45:18):
H Hello, I refuse to have this conversation again.

Speaker 31 (46:00):
Please listen.

Speaker 32 (46:01):
I want to marry.

Speaker 30 (46:03):
Marriage is not a simple whim. It's an altogether more
complex business.

Speaker 33 (46:08):
This is no whim.

Speaker 31 (46:09):
Father.

Speaker 32 (46:10):
I love Sir ashest he is the man I want
to marry. It's that simple.

Speaker 30 (46:15):
It seems simple because you are little more than a
girl child. A proper marriage settlement involves gold and property.

Speaker 32 (46:23):
I refuse to simply be sold to the highest bidder
like some mayre.

Speaker 30 (46:26):
You do me an injustice, Emma. I think only of
you since your poor mother died, your happiness and security
have been my sole preoccupation.

Speaker 32 (46:39):
All I want is to be free from this barricaded fort.

Speaker 30 (46:42):
Mercifully, you are too young to remember the months when
this fort was besieged, The hunger and diseased, during which
your mother died four nights. I kept a visual beside
her until I would have died myself that day, but
I had a baby to take off. It was you

(47:04):
who kept me going. I promised her I would always
look after you, Her little flower, she called you. But
here you were born. She had made me climb down
from the ramparts and picked the white flowers she loved
on the rocks, the only flowers that grow in this
forsaken place. She loved those flowers. She made a garland

(47:28):
of your cradle.

Speaker 32 (47:29):
Dearest father, you still think of me as a child.
I am the age that she was when she married you.
I will never stop being your daughter, but I long
to be another man's wife. Sir Ashest is the bravest
officer under your command. You often said, he reminds you
of your younger self.

Speaker 16 (47:49):
He's a born soldier. That makes me feel for you.

Speaker 30 (47:53):
Your grandfather begged me to leave the army when I
went your mother, You've had it in his gift to ranger.

Speaker 16 (48:02):
Position for me is a courtier.

Speaker 30 (48:05):
Creaning around London. In some way, you were made.

Speaker 32 (48:09):
To be an army colonel. The military is all I
know and all I desire is to be an officer's wife.
Twice you have refused, Sir Ashurst my hand. Soon he
will receive his own command. But I long to leave
here beside him. I long to see the world.

Speaker 30 (48:26):
You will see danger as you first has already been
wanted twice.

Speaker 32 (48:33):
Be honest, father, would you rarely want me to wear
a coward who had never lifted more than a handkerchief
to curtsey and snivel at court?

Speaker 19 (48:42):
I've lost you, haven't I?

Speaker 32 (48:47):
In all my life, I have never asked you for anything.
I beg only one thing now, Father, my freedom.

Speaker 34 (49:00):
At last, we are alone, my sweet bride.

Speaker 32 (49:02):
Will my father not miss us from the wedding feet?

Speaker 34 (49:04):
Sir, you are no longer Colonel Warrender's daughter. You are
my wife, Lady Ashurst, Say.

Speaker 32 (49:11):
It, Lady Ashurst, how strange it feels?

Speaker 23 (49:17):
Oh?

Speaker 32 (49:17):
I'm so happy tonight I can walk along these battlements
with you alone, no chaperone.

Speaker 35 (49:24):
Why I feel almost.

Speaker 36 (49:26):
Indecent, My love, We will be often alone from this
night on, and in chambers where no chaperone will be appropriate.

Speaker 32 (49:34):
I hope you will not misjudge my shyness and modesty
for reluctance.

Speaker 36 (49:38):
Trust me, awaiting your father's permission. These three years I
have learnt patience.

Speaker 32 (49:42):
I trust your patients will be rewarded this very night.
I love my father dearly, yet I confess that I
will never feel free while we remain on this fort
that he commands with such severity.

Speaker 34 (49:53):
These are dangerous times.

Speaker 36 (49:55):
The colonel may seem a hard taskmaster, but no soldier doubts.

Speaker 16 (49:59):
That he is a They fear him, though.

Speaker 34 (50:02):
No man who follows orders need feel fear.

Speaker 36 (50:05):
Oh my dearest Emma, From the first day I was
stationed here, I knew you would one day be my bride.

Speaker 32 (50:10):
Tonight your fellow officers are celebrating what you have acquired.

Speaker 34 (50:14):
Don't make yourself sound like a possession.

Speaker 32 (50:16):
How can I not feel like one? After watching you
and my father barter over every last gold piece.

Speaker 36 (50:21):
A good dowry is merely a means of showing that
you're a lady of worth and standing. I asked for
no more than your father felt it proper to give.

Speaker 32 (50:30):
Can I ask for nothing in return?

Speaker 34 (50:32):
It's your wedding night, Lady Ashurst.

Speaker 36 (50:34):
Ask for anything your heart desires, anything, anything in my power.

Speaker 32 (50:41):
You see those rocks below this parapet.

Speaker 34 (50:43):
Sir what need of you for a slab of rock,
hopefully not for me to sleep on.

Speaker 32 (50:48):
Your bed will be soft this night, and it will
not be solitary. Look beyond the rocks at that small
patch of clay you see, huh the white flowers growing there?

Speaker 36 (50:58):
I see them.

Speaker 34 (50:59):
What's straight? As they grow there?

Speaker 32 (51:01):
They possess a secret that makes them so precious to me.

Speaker 36 (51:04):
I shall not rest until I lay them on the
pillow of your bridal chamber.

Speaker 32 (51:08):
Oh, Ashurst, wait until daybreak. The moonlight is weak.

Speaker 35 (51:12):
It was just a whim.

Speaker 29 (51:13):
It's too steep.

Speaker 32 (51:15):
Please, Ashurst, you may fall.

Speaker 36 (51:16):
I've crossed steeper terrain in skirmishes with the Native Irish.

Speaker 32 (51:20):
The wound in your leg is still not healed.

Speaker 36 (51:23):
The wound to my pride will be greater if you
do not have them.

Speaker 32 (51:27):
Be careful.

Speaker 16 (51:33):
Five minutes come.

Speaker 31 (51:34):
On, and no we're missing.

Speaker 35 (51:36):
The photographer is waiting come back.

Speaker 37 (51:38):
I'll ruin my dress shot over here.

Speaker 38 (51:41):
Look, I just want a few minutes alone with your Heather.
I'm fed up with smiling for photographs and meeting and
greeting elderly anties. Look, this is our day and I
just want to remember it.

Speaker 32 (51:54):
Nothing could make it more perfect beautiful here, isn't it.

Speaker 16 (51:58):
We're right to choose this place. I know who was that?

Speaker 4 (52:03):
Where?

Speaker 16 (52:03):
Up there on the ramparts? A girl in a long
white dress?

Speaker 3 (52:07):
She just vanished.

Speaker 39 (52:08):
I didn't see anyone.

Speaker 40 (52:09):
Maybe one of the guests.

Speaker 41 (52:10):
Your aunt Sally.

Speaker 16 (52:11):
She's been fairly knocking back the champagne. No, no, no, no.
She was young and she was running. I mean, where
did she go? There's no way off that rampart. Look,
maybe she's falling, Sean, I saw her. She looks scared.
Who was wearing white at the wedding?

Speaker 29 (52:25):
Where are you going?

Speaker 42 (52:26):
Are you actually her mind?

Speaker 16 (52:28):
I can't see anyone. It's just rocks, she's gone.

Speaker 32 (52:31):
What are you doing?

Speaker 16 (52:33):
I'm gonna climb over see if I can see her?

Speaker 42 (52:35):
Sean, Please wait, will you help?

Speaker 43 (52:38):
Be careful?

Speaker 27 (52:43):
Halt?

Speaker 16 (52:44):
Who goes there? Oh?

Speaker 19 (52:47):
Why lady, Emma? Are you alone?

Speaker 34 (52:48):
She is with me, sentry, return to you a post.

Speaker 16 (52:52):
What are you doing outside? The powerper tirashest.

Speaker 34 (52:54):
An errand of love trying to reach those flowers.

Speaker 16 (52:57):
But I feel my leg may still be two weeks. Well,
maybe maybe I can be of service.

Speaker 34 (53:02):
No, I'm there, I'm afraid.

Speaker 32 (53:05):
Oh please, sir, give me your hand. The flowers are
of no significance. Please climb up.

Speaker 16 (53:11):
Let me help.

Speaker 36 (53:14):
Lady Ashurst, Will you accept my bouquet through an intermediary.

Speaker 32 (53:18):
Forget I asked for them?

Speaker 36 (53:20):
Please the century. If you fetch them, you shall feel
gold in your palm.

Speaker 16 (53:24):
But I can't desert my post. I mean, you know
the colonel's temper.

Speaker 34 (53:27):
Then let me keep your watch. You do my task
and I will gladly do yours.

Speaker 16 (53:32):
Very well, sir.

Speaker 19 (53:33):
Here take my tunic, sir, and.

Speaker 38 (53:35):
I just call for sitting and I cannot climb with it.

Speaker 44 (53:37):
Thank you.

Speaker 32 (53:39):
It was a foolish request.

Speaker 34 (53:40):
Nonsense. They shall be your bridled garland. You're shivering, Lady Ashurst.

Speaker 36 (53:47):
Retire to our new chamber, and I will keep the
sentry's watch and shortly come to you bearing your secret flowers.

Speaker 32 (53:53):
Thank you, My dearest Ashurst. Put on the tunic in
case you catch a chulant. Please make sure the scent
she comes to no harm, Sean, there's no one there.

Speaker 8 (54:07):
Please come.

Speaker 29 (54:08):
I go up here. It's dangerous there.

Speaker 8 (54:10):
He'll be fine.

Speaker 45 (54:12):
Sorry he scared the life cleaners me.

Speaker 46 (54:15):
I didn't mean to start to you, dear.

Speaker 29 (54:17):
I'm just locking up.

Speaker 47 (54:20):
Oh, the number of men I've seen climb those rocks
over the years.

Speaker 39 (54:24):
Is he trying to pick flowers for you?

Speaker 10 (54:26):
Flowers?

Speaker 2 (54:27):
No?

Speaker 47 (54:28):
Why romantic young men always do climbing back up is
when they always get scared, Maybe because they remember how
long it took the sentry in the old story. Those flowers,
the white one see belonged to the bride of Charles
Fort sixteen seventy seven.

Speaker 46 (54:48):
It was people still.

Speaker 47 (54:50):
See her here often See who Lady Emma? You are
the young couple getting married in the hotel, aren't you?

Speaker 46 (54:59):
Is that your bouquet?

Speaker 48 (55:00):
Yes?

Speaker 47 (55:01):
Beware of what you ask for on your wedding day.
All Lady Emma wanted was flowers. Some came that Lady
Emma's father was alone when he made his rounds to
check the sentries, and others say the colonel was drunk
and accompanied by revelers from the wedding. All agreed that
the bridegroom must have drunk a lot himself to fall

(55:25):
asleep huddled in the shadows with the sentries tunic around him.

Speaker 21 (55:34):
Is this your breast of friends against the Irish colonel?
He's asleep or drunk with a sentry.

Speaker 49 (55:40):
Feel your boot cheer field, my pistol a century who
falls asleep on duilty hair.

Speaker 21 (55:46):
Lows the penaltyker the easy colonel.

Speaker 49 (55:49):
I must maintain order. Emma, what are you doing out here?
Where's Ashhurst? What's happened back to your chamber of child?
There's no cause for alarm that Sentry was neglecting his duties.

Speaker 42 (56:07):
Sentry.

Speaker 16 (56:08):
Oh no, oh, father, Say you haven't shoten.

Speaker 48 (56:12):
Say the Sentry has returned.

Speaker 34 (56:14):
With the flowers.

Speaker 16 (56:15):
He was asleep.

Speaker 30 (56:17):
We could have all been besieged this very night by
his negligence.

Speaker 16 (56:21):
You know the punishment.

Speaker 21 (56:23):
No, please, she's raising girl. Shall I fetch your husband?

Speaker 16 (56:34):
Yes, quickly, sir.

Speaker 42 (56:38):
My sweet sweet Ashhurst, Hushurst.

Speaker 34 (56:44):
It can't be Ashurst.

Speaker 16 (56:46):
You've killed the man I loved.

Speaker 43 (56:49):
You've killed me.

Speaker 29 (56:51):
What.

Speaker 21 (56:53):
Oh there's a man timing up the rocks. He's carrying
something flower.

Speaker 42 (56:59):
You just you couldn't bear to see me go free.

Speaker 40 (57:02):
You never wanted to meet me happy. I hate this
bravefort and this country.

Speaker 42 (57:08):
I hate you, Oh.

Speaker 49 (57:09):
My child, I thought it was he he he wore
a tunica.

Speaker 8 (57:15):
Oh, Emma, Emma, Emma, wait, Emma, come down from there.

Speaker 42 (57:21):
I refuse to be your prisoner again.

Speaker 32 (57:24):
Tonight I shall sleep with my husband, herma.

Speaker 29 (57:32):
Have you seen her ghost?

Speaker 47 (57:34):
When this fort was manned, children often talked of a
young lady in white leaning over the cott at night,
or smiling at them from the end of passageways. Officers
in her old room often saw a white figure walking
through the wall where a.

Speaker 39 (57:50):
Door used to be.

Speaker 32 (57:52):
Do you believe in her?

Speaker 47 (57:54):
There are hundreds of ghosts here, love scullery maids, seduced
and discarded by so mothers who stole bread, imprisoned in
these dungeons. Oh, pay no heat of heaven't do you?
A young man head over heels in love with you.

Speaker 32 (58:11):
Look he's safe, now help him up, Sean, take my hand.

Speaker 38 (58:17):
Oh, I had to make sure nobody had fallen at me.

Speaker 16 (58:21):
I could have sworn I saw.

Speaker 47 (58:22):
Someone, And I'm sure you won't be the last to
see her either. What do you mean I think you
should concern yourself with one.

Speaker 39 (58:29):
Bride at a time.

Speaker 47 (58:31):
Go back to your wedding, son and enjoy your happiness.

Speaker 16 (58:35):
Oh, Sean, look at you. You're so you could have
been hurt.

Speaker 32 (58:39):
Come on, let's get back to the hotel.

Speaker 38 (58:41):
I really did think I saw someone.

Speaker 19 (58:44):
Look, let's go back inside to everyone.

Speaker 32 (58:46):
Yes, wait, I need to do something.

Speaker 38 (58:50):
What do you do that for? My sisters will kill
you when they've no bouquet to catch.

Speaker 32 (58:55):
I'm leaving it for a different bride, one who likes flowers.

Speaker 46 (59:00):
Goodbye, Emma.

Speaker 50 (59:14):
In the wedding Bouquet by Dermitt Bulger. Emma was played
by Alison McKenna, Warrender by John Hewitt, the Old Lady
by Dorien Keo. Heather was Jody O'Neill, Ahurs, Simon de
Laney and Sean and the Century by Luke Griffin, and
the wedding guest David Kelly. The producer was Jimmy mcmullon.

Speaker 51 (59:31):
Welcome, ladies and gentlemen. This is Basil Rathbone inviting you
to join me beyond the Green Door.

Speaker 14 (59:37):
Today's story is about Thomas J.

Speaker 51 (59:40):
Henning, a young and extremely courageous anthropologist who went to
live with the Chukka tribe of western Paraguay. No anthropologist
had studied the Savage group before Henning went, and on
his way passed beyond the Green Door. Henning had to
travel for several weeks up a tributary of the Paraguay

(01:00:02):
River before he reached the tribe. He was fortunate to
have a long an interpreter, a Chakaman who had lived
in a town long enough to pick up some Spanish.
With the interpreter's aid, the anthropologist was welcomed into the tribe.
Heaving distributed glass beads and mirrors to the delighted savages.
He was given a hut and immediately began his study

(01:00:24):
of the strange and unwholesome Chaca customs. Especially gruesome was
the fact that the Chaca buried their sick, buried them
alive and kicking, for fear of the malevolence of the
sick man's ghost. Handing noted down this custom and continued
with these researches. He was interrupted by the fact that

(01:00:46):
his interpreter became ill one night, his face turning a
ghastly yellowish green. This strange jungle disease did not appear
very serious, except for the fact that the Chakas preferred
to bury their sick.

Speaker 4 (01:01:00):
Rather than take any chances on ghosts.

Speaker 51 (01:01:04):
Luckily, the ailment had come at night when the interpreter
was alone with Henning in his hut, but still it
was an extremely precarious situation. Henning fastened the door and
pumped the interpreter full of antibiotics. He stayed beside him,
administering to the interpreter day and night. Red eyed and gaunt,
Henning wondered what could become of him if the tribesman

(01:01:25):
found out the truth. He was alone among ferocious savages
many miles from civilization. His life might well depend upon
the interpreter. The situation prevailed for several days. Henning dozed
off one morning and was awakened by wild shuts in
front of his hut. The tribes and won were demanding

(01:01:47):
to be allowed in. Apparently they suspected some kind of watchcraft,
and they enforced their demands by shooting a few poisoned
arrows into the hut's thatched walls. There was no way
of stopping them, so Henning unfastened the door. The Indians
strode in and peered at the sleeping interpreter for a
long time.

Speaker 4 (01:02:07):
At last they turned away.

Speaker 51 (01:02:09):
Henning was delighted to see that the man's skin condition,
thanks to modern antibiotics, completely cleared up. But Heading had
no time to enjoy his triumph, but the tribesmen seized
him and dragged him outside. Henning struggled fiercely, devided to.

Speaker 4 (01:02:22):
Know what was wrong.

Speaker 51 (01:02:28):
A Savage held up one of the mirrors Henning had brought,
and the anthropologist saw with horror that his own face
had turned a distinct shade of yellowish green. Even while
he was trying to explain about the wonderful heating powers
of modern antibiotics, Henning could hear the steady, methodical sounds

(01:02:52):
of a new grave being dug.

Speaker 4 (01:02:58):

Speaker 25 (01:09:52):
Oh, yes, my husband is in food.

Speaker 4 (01:09:54):
This is himself mighty fine foods, from coat to coat,
over twenty million cus. You know that's quite a responsibility,
killing twenty million stomachs every day.

Speaker 41 (01:10:06):
Yes, it is very profitable, mister Blowry.

Speaker 48 (01:10:08):
That's why the ED can afford to make.

Speaker 31 (01:10:09):
An offer on the castle. I see, mother, isn't it wonderful?

Speaker 24 (01:10:12):
It's six hundred years old?

Speaker 54 (01:10:14):
You know that's very old, isn't it, mister Blowry?

Speaker 55 (01:10:17):
Is it by any chance?

Speaker 9 (01:10:18):
Hundred?

Speaker 17 (01:10:18):
Well?

You see, is scared to death.

Speaker 2 (01:10:22):
Of ghosts, but I'm not.

Speaker 41 (01:10:23):
I'd love to meet one.

Speaker 9 (01:10:24):
Is there a ghost, mister.

Speaker 14 (01:10:25):
Lowry, Well, I suppose there are legends about every old place.

Speaker 4 (01:10:29):
Nonsense, there isn't any ghosts because ghosts don't exist. It's
just a lot of silly what's that?

Speaker 14 (01:10:37):
Only only there's the bagpipes. It's not and it's an
old Scottish cut and during dinner.

Speaker 54 (01:10:44):
Listen, it's twelve o'clock, which you now, Joseph.

Speaker 53 (01:10:48):
We've got to get.

Speaker 4 (01:10:48):
Out of here, all right, ladders, all right, sorry missus Lorry.
You know how these women are. We will have to
believe our business talk for all. Morning Chelsea, coming dear.

Speaker 17 (01:11:00):
How long?

Speaker 41 (01:11:02):
Good night mister Glowry, and thank you it's been a
wonderful evening.

Speaker 14 (01:11:07):
Yes, it's been very wonderful. Murder Glory, whatever you are,
you've been a most considerate ghost not appearing tonight. And
I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Speaker 31 (01:11:18):
Don't thank him, Master Donald's thank me.

Speaker 8 (01:11:22):
I say the clock.

Speaker 11 (01:11:25):

Speaker 2 (01:11:27):
Who is that?

Speaker 14 (01:11:28):
I'll see?

Speaker 31 (01:11:31):
Yes, Hello, I'm back again. Did you know your clock
is in our affair?

Speaker 3 (01:11:36):
Really?

Speaker 24 (01:11:37):
What just happened to notice the clock in the car?

Speaker 41 (01:11:39):
And then Daddy got a grand idea.

Speaker 56 (01:11:41):
You know, it's simply it's just silly to buy a
place without ever having stayed in it.

Speaker 41 (01:11:45):
So I thought, well, I mean, well, could you put.

Speaker 9 (01:11:49):
Me up for the night, for the night, Oh, any
of the corner will do any.

Speaker 14 (01:11:52):
Extra rule of course this is Magnifi. I believe we
have a guest for tonight.

Speaker 33 (01:12:11):
There's a talk again, must in right now?

Speaker 32 (01:12:14):
I wondered, Yes, yes, who is it?

Speaker 24 (01:12:23):
I thought I had.

Speaker 57 (01:12:25):
A glory of course, or dressed up like that tarden
and kill her?

Speaker 20 (01:12:30):
Mommed, I thought you.

Speaker 8 (01:12:31):
Were a ghost.

Speaker 18 (01:12:32):
I'm a ghost.

Speaker 14 (01:12:33):
I'm the famous ghost of Glory Castles.

Speaker 41 (01:12:36):
And they say that Scotch have no sense of you.

Speaker 10 (01:12:39):
Why do you laugh?

Speaker 14 (01:12:39):
Do you not believe me?

Speaker 23 (01:12:41):
Oh?

Speaker 41 (01:12:41):
Of course I do, And I think you look liveless in.

Speaker 31 (01:12:43):
That fancy dress castle.

Speaker 14 (01:12:44):
Well this, oh, it's just what I happened to be
wearing on the day of my death.

Speaker 41 (01:12:49):
Oh you're you're dead?

Speaker 20 (01:12:50):
Whit?

Speaker 41 (01:12:50):
When did that happen?

Speaker 3 (01:12:51):
Well?

Speaker 14 (01:12:51):
I forget the exact date, but it must be all
or two hundred years ago?

Speaker 41 (01:12:55):
Two hundred years my my, for goodness sake, can you
look so young?

Speaker 14 (01:13:01):
Do you not realize that we're never age? Or are
you no used to meeting ghosts?

Speaker 57 (01:13:05):
No, this is my very first encounter, and I'm surprised.

Speaker 41 (01:13:08):
I'm not terrified of you.

Speaker 11 (01:13:10):
Donald.

Speaker 14 (01:13:10):
Why do you call me Donald when my name is Murder?

Speaker 57 (01:13:13):
Because I know more frightened of Murdock than I would
be of Donald.

Speaker 14 (01:13:16):
I'm glad of that. I wouldn't like to allow him
such a bonny we last. Oh, it's been a long
time since I saw the like, you know, since that
day I was teaching the Bonnie Shepherd. Tell me, do
you kill me?

Speaker 8 (01:13:30):
The game?

Speaker 14 (01:13:31):
Is telling me a riddle?

Speaker 18 (01:13:32):
No, how's it playing?

Speaker 4 (01:13:33):
You see?

Speaker 14 (01:13:33):
I ask you a riddle like what's the difference between
his lim and heather?

Speaker 7 (01:13:36):
And accuss in the dark?

Speaker 14 (01:13:37):
And if you cannot answer by the time it's killy cranky,
you must pay the pocket already now, okay, I l
and you must pay the pockets.

Speaker 28 (01:13:44):
We're accused.

Speaker 41 (01:13:45):
Oh all right, but first you got to tell me
the ax.

Speaker 14 (01:13:48):
Oh no, the frocket comes first.

Speaker 55 (01:13:50):
Who No, it doesn't.

Speaker 14 (01:13:51):
I tell you it does.

Speaker 41 (01:13:52):
And I tell you good night.

Speaker 24 (01:13:54):
It's been ago.

Speaker 4 (01:13:54):
We'll last come.

Speaker 17 (01:13:55):
Out, come out come do.

Speaker 24 (01:14:02):

Speaker 14 (01:14:03):
I know, but it's been so long, favored, so long
since there's a lass as bunny as.

Speaker 18 (01:14:11):
That we will.

Speaker 14 (01:14:26):
Good morning, Oh, good morning, miss Martin. Your father's here.
He's looking over the place.

Speaker 11 (01:14:31):
You know.

Speaker 14 (01:14:32):
I like it, Donald like me, do you really very much?

Speaker 8 (01:14:37):
I like people who do crazy things, crazy things like dressing.

Speaker 41 (01:14:41):
Up last night I'm pretending.

Speaker 8 (01:14:42):
You'd be a ghost.

Speaker 14 (01:14:44):
Oh oh that, and then you're going to tell me
the yester this morning answer. I'm afraid I don't quite
know the riddle.

Speaker 2 (01:14:51):
Oh oh the riddle.

Speaker 14 (01:14:53):
No, no, I I can't kill you just now, you see.

Speaker 39 (01:14:56):
I guess I'll never know the answer till I say
your force this so it is, man, there's your kiss?

Speaker 11 (01:15:04):
Now it's the answer?

Speaker 14 (01:15:05):
Well I oh no, no, you can't have the answer.

Speaker 31 (01:15:07):
Give but I've just paid you.

Speaker 14 (01:15:09):
You think one kiss is enough for the secret mischieve
gloudy castle? No, No, that that's just the beginning of before.

Speaker 20 (01:15:15):
But that's not there.

Speaker 4 (01:15:17):
Oh, there are glory. I guess I've seen enough.

Speaker 14 (01:15:20):
But mister Martin, and I wasn't doing anything, know what
I was.

Speaker 4 (01:15:24):
I just looked the whole place over, and I might
as well make my top off first fifty thousand dollars
fifty thousand on one condition. No, you've got to come
to the place, come with it. One contract, of course,
two hundred a week.

Speaker 14 (01:15:37):
What must I do?

Speaker 3 (01:15:38):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (01:15:38):
You just supervise the job, that's all one job. Why
when we ripped the castle down, let me down for sure,
that's the idea. Take the whole place down stone by
stone and ship it over and put it up again.
Get it, mister Glory in America.

Speaker 11 (01:16:14):
Father Pether, can you know hear me?

Speaker 17 (01:16:18):
I'm margat my son.

Speaker 30 (01:16:19):

Speaker 24 (01:16:20):
Father?

Speaker 14 (01:16:20):
What is this strange place? Where am i?

Speaker 17 (01:16:23):
You're in the home of my shirt Mason, on your
way to America.

Speaker 14 (01:16:27):
But I don't want to go to America. I don't
want to be a confounded colonist.

Speaker 17 (01:16:30):
You must go, my son with the old Glory Castle bunchiness.

Speaker 14 (01:16:36):
But father must have stayed down here in the hold
all the time when.

Speaker 17 (01:16:40):
It's dark, eve and walker on the jack Mason. But
my game, no, try to ring on the lasses now.

Speaker 58 (01:17:00):
It's nice out here on deck, is McDonald's, I mean,
much nicer than being inside whole crowd at the ship's
mask grade.

Speaker 14 (01:17:06):
Yes, it's much nicer out here, Piggy.

Speaker 35 (01:17:09):
Not that you're silly as the rest.

That's all the more.

Speaker 35 (01:17:26):
Reason we could be together, you and I.

Speaker 14 (01:17:29):
It's getting all the code out here, isn't it. It's
like going to a rug. Yes, if you wish, I
won't take a moment today. I'll be back right away.

Speaker 31 (01:17:38):

Speaker 8 (01:23:06):
Oh I would.

Speaker 62 (01:23:08):
He won't be speaking to me anymore.

Speaker 63 (01:23:10):
He's gone.

Speaker 14 (01:23:11):
He wasn't very much interested in me. I think you're mistaken,
you do?

Speaker 4 (01:23:15):
Oh?

Speaker 8 (01:23:15):
Yes, you see.

Speaker 14 (01:23:15):
I know him very well. He's one of those stupid
men who are afraid to speak.

Speaker 8 (01:23:19):
I guess I was stupid too, and proud.

Speaker 14 (01:23:22):
I couldn't tell him how I well, if he came
back and said what was in his heart?

Speaker 8 (01:23:27):
But he loves you, If he loved me.

Speaker 31 (01:23:28):
He wouldn't have gone away without saying a word.

Speaker 14 (01:23:30):
Nobody wants to see a lot of words to you,
and he may not be very far from here. What
would you say to him, Peggy, Oh.

Speaker 41 (01:23:36):
I tell him I love him.

Speaker 14 (01:23:38):
They won't come back. He will, He will come back.

Speaker 17 (01:23:41):
I promise you.

Speaker 31 (01:26:44):

Now I'm telling me the answer to the riddle.

Speaker 14 (01:26:48):
I'm sorry, peg yet don't know the answer.

Speaker 41 (01:26:50):
But I paid you the faucet with a kiss.

Speaker 14 (01:27:02):
But Donald, what darling?

Speaker 9 (01:27:05):
Lit on me?

Speaker 14 (01:27:05):
Another riddle?

Speaker 8 (01:27:06):
Please?

Speaker 3 (01:27:21):
And thus the.

Speaker 4 (01:27:31):
Ghosts in the best Scottish tradition have gone west, and
we have come to the conclusion of another play. From
the stage of the Globe Theater. Our stars were Basil
rat Bone, Marsha Hunt, Eugene Palette, and Charles Erwin. If
tonight show had suggested to any of you servicemen the
possibility of bringing home an old Scottish castle as a

(01:27:52):
souvenir for a grandmother, perhaps I'd like to discourage you.
Castles with well behaved ghosts are as rare as oisters
with pearls. And although mister Pellette arranged it during wartime,
you can expect considerable difficulty getting castles through the customs.
Right now, they're changing the letters on our globe theater
Marquee to read meet Corliss Archer, and the story concerning

(01:28:17):
that meeting is a matter of interest to every serviceman
overseas who has a kid sister, For Corlis Archer is
almost everybody's kid's sister. Here's a preview of the story
involving Corlis on the next globe theater, Canton.

Speaker 12 (01:28:42):
What the devil is a matter of that little slope
over there.

Speaker 7 (01:28:44):
But they see signals.

Speaker 4 (01:28:45):
I can't figure it, O sir.

Speaker 7 (01:28:47):
They don't seem to pay any attention.

Speaker 2 (01:28:49):
Well, I'm going to give them just about two minutes
more than our fire across their ball.

Speaker 17 (01:28:52):
I see.

Speaker 4 (01:28:54):
He's weekend yet out the iron pools nor They've prifted
right into the United States Naval mindfields.

Speaker 7 (01:29:02):
The four suckers. They'll probably find out the hard way, you.

Speaker 60 (01:29:13):
Know, Daddy.

Speaker 56 (01:29:14):
I think that coast guide cutter's getting a little bit arror,
sure is, mister Rochers.

Speaker 9 (01:29:17):
And I think they're still trying to streagnal to us.

Speaker 28 (01:29:19):
Well, I always they'd stop running up those silly little flags.

Speaker 2 (01:29:23):
How am I supposed to know.

Speaker 4 (01:29:24):
What they mean?

Speaker 41 (01:29:25):
Oh what was that, Harry.

Speaker 9 (01:29:26):
That's all right, missus Archer.

Speaker 31 (01:29:28):
We just scraped against one of those floating boys.

Speaker 4 (01:29:30):
Oh you're crazy.

Speaker 19 (01:29:32):
Aren't any floating boys out at this distance?

Speaker 6 (01:29:35):
Sure there are, mister Archer.

Speaker 32 (01:29:36):
Look we just drifted by another.

Speaker 26 (01:29:38):
Way, aren't disturbers?

Speaker 2 (01:29:40):
Oh, don't talk Greek to me?

Speaker 17 (01:29:41):
Left or right?

Speaker 66 (01:29:42):
Oh there, daddy, I see my dressy Oh you mean
that metal thing all covered with snob Yeah.

Speaker 18 (01:29:47):
There's another one.

Speaker 2 (01:29:48):
See, so there is dexter.

Speaker 7 (01:29:51):
I think we'd better tie up to one of these boys.

Speaker 32 (01:29:55):
Okay, mister Archers, but always do it.

Speaker 2 (01:29:58):
I mean we're dressing by quite.

Speaker 19 (01:29:59):
Rapid if you use your imagination.

Speaker 28 (01:30:01):
Boy, pull the anchor at.

Speaker 11 (01:30:03):
It way, mister Roger, whatever you say.

Speaker 19 (01:30:12):
But that's a pretty heavy anchor, I mean she is.
You wouldn't want to dammage one of those, bully, Go.

Speaker 16 (01:30:18):
Ahead and know what you're told, daddy, Daddy, how do
you feel?

Speaker 17 (01:30:23):
How do you think?

Speaker 19 (01:30:23):
I feel?

Speaker 31 (01:30:25):
Well?

Speaker 67 (01:30:25):
Daddy?

Speaker 31 (01:30:25):
I was only inquiring about your health.

Speaker 58 (01:30:27):
You don't have to yell at.

Speaker 3 (01:30:28):
I haven't even started yelling yet.

Speaker 41 (01:30:31):
Hey, Callie, what is it now?

Speaker 8 (01:30:33):
Daddy?

Speaker 56 (01:30:33):
It says your violence is one of the first sentems
of insanity.

Speaker 2 (01:30:39):
And it is then in.

Speaker 56 (01:30:40):
Perative for the safety of others and the crew, So
the victims should be knocked unconscious, either by the fists
or by any convenient weapon, which however, should be padded
to avoid permanent injury.

Speaker 41 (01:30:52):
I don't think Daddy would like that.

Speaker 12 (01:30:55):
You're anchor.

Speaker 19 (01:30:58):
Now, if you'll help me, even one of these boys all.

Speaker 56 (01:31:05):
Love Jeddy, We're coming to cut your boy.

Speaker 4 (01:31:08):
Now.

Speaker 17 (01:31:11):
What the devil was there?

Speaker 8 (01:31:12):
Holy kill, mister Orger.

Speaker 7 (01:31:13):
I think they're fire and matters from the.

Speaker 54 (01:31:14):
Coach guard cutter, Holy chow.

Speaker 56 (01:31:18):
Golly, Daddy, don't you think that's a dangerous way to signal?

Speaker 19 (01:31:22):
I certainly do.

Speaker 25 (01:31:24):
Hurry, I'm to do.

Speaker 68 (01:31:26):
I was Maury, missus Archer.

Speaker 8 (01:31:28):
They're pretty four shots, I mean, I mean.

Speaker 56 (01:31:31):
They must have four times.

Speaker 7 (01:31:37):

turns out cold.

Speaker 2 (01:33:52):
Idea.

Speaker 4 (01:33:55):
I thought I'd find something different than the public punk
and I did a small boy matching his ice cream
cone against my brand new trousers and all to meet
the deadline deadline story idea. Why didn't I do what

(01:34:16):
I should have done in the first place?

Speaker 17 (01:34:20):
Copy?

Band Holiday? Why didn't you pick a different profession like

Speaker 33 (01:35:34):
I get there's a message in box.

Speaker 28 (01:35:35):
Thirteen for you?

Speaker 4 (01:35:36):
Oh, thank you, Susie, thanks so much.

Speaker 71 (01:35:38):
Mention it?

Speaker 35 (01:35:39):
Okay, you got a far away look in your eyes today, Yes, but.

Speaker 4 (01:35:44):
Only as far as the dry cleaners eye cleaners. Have
you ever had a small boy wipe his ice cream
cone off on your trousers?

Speaker 20 (01:35:51):
Oh?

Speaker 72 (01:35:52):
Girls, don't call him trousers?

Speaker 31 (01:35:55):
And I said it.

Speaker 4 (01:35:56):
Slacks, So it is, Susie.

Speaker 19 (01:35:58):
So it is?

Speaker 4 (01:35:59):
Well you later, okay, you.

Speaker 72 (01:36:01):
Stay so, But I still don't like that look in
your eyes.

Speaker 4 (01:36:04):
You look like you might get into trouble. You know
what I think after spending the day in the park,
what trouble will be a welcome relief? Why did I
ever have to decide to be a fiction writer. I
could have stayed a newspaper reporter. I could have kept

(01:36:26):
on writing those snapy obituary notices and want a hat
that turned up in front and shoes it did the
same thing. Well, letter, see what's in his sun? Will
look hmm. If you want real adventure, be at the
corner of Seventh and Main at ten pm tonight. A

(01:36:46):
black limousine will pick you up at that time. Do
not try to engage the show in conversation. What's this?
No signature? Oh, no signature, Black limousines, chauffeurs who won't talk,

(01:37:11):
meetings on street corners at ten o'clock at night. Well
this should be interesting. Oh there it is a black limousine.
Look at that chauffeur this way, mister Holiday. Oh thanks,

(01:37:35):
What a character this driver is. He looks like he
spent his nights on a knight's cold slap down at
the may. Wonder if I can get him to talk?

Speaker 24 (01:37:44):
Uh driver, I said, driver, Oh chauffeur, oh you.

Speaker 4 (01:37:56):
Oh, pardon me through their mister Holiday, so you do talk.
I was beginning to wonder about that. This way, mister Holliday,
who's that it's only me, mister Holliday. That black suited

(01:38:19):
makes you almost invisible. You know, yes, I know follow me.
You're curious about the way you were brought here? Did
it frighten you? Maybe? Maybe not? This room? Please my office?
Well this is very cozy. Well, I'm glad you find

(01:38:39):
it so. To eliminate a lot of questions, I'd like
to say this, I know all about you all. You're
a successful writer. Apparently you fear nothing, and I would
presume that some of your adventures spring from that ad
you run every week in the Star Times. Did you
find it interesting? Adventure? Wanted? Will go any place? Do anything?

(01:39:01):
Do you catch many people with that d I caught
you or is that vice versa? I had you investigated Holiday.
I know where you live, what you do. The newspapers
have told me of your experiences. M What are you
leading up to? You'll notice I had you brought here
by a devious route. I wanted to be sure no
one knew you were here gone. How much do you

(01:39:24):
know about insurance? Holiday? A great? Many people buy it
great many don't, And of those who do buy a
great many intended to fraud, to steal from their insurance company. Look,
this is a racket. I'm not instant. My name is
Abner Blake. I'm the chief investigator for Northern Insurance. Oh.
Do you remember the disappearance of doctor Max Alexander. I

(01:39:45):
read something about it. Why he carried a very large
policy with us. He's been gone almost seven years. When
his seven years are up, the law will permit his
widow to collect and holiday. Eh. I don't think galigh
Xander is dead. This man has the coldest frostious eyes

(01:40:09):
of any professional man trailer I've ever seen. And he's
loaded with energy. Energy which, how bettis helped him track
down the people who tried to cheat his insurance company. Ooh,
I'm glad, I'm on his side. If you'll think back,
Doctor Alexander performed a very delicate brain surgery on a
prominent man. The operation was not successful. I remember that

(01:40:31):
he was criticized in some circles for taking a chance.
Immediately after the patient died, Alexander walked out of the
operating room the hospital, and so far as we've been
able to prove right out of this world, but I
still feel that he's alive somewhere, and you believe it's
an insurance for us. I'm sure it is, and I
have a reputation holiday. No one has ever attempted to

(01:40:51):
defraud Northern Insurance and has been successful. You uh, suspect
missus Alexander hardly. She's barely left her house in all
these years. She receives no mail except from her daughter.
Her daughter. She lives in New Mexico. What about your
regular men. They've looked everywhere, They've come up with absolutely nothing. Police,
same thing, And you're afraid you'll have to pay off No,

(01:41:15):
not if I have a smart man, a resourceful one,
a man who can be as relentless as I am,
And I think that man is you. If Shakespeare were alive,
he would cast Abner Blake in the role of Macbeth
and throw him an extra part as one of the witches.

(01:41:37):
But that's no affair of yours, mister Holliday. You've got
to find a man who's been gone for almost seven years.
And if you were the hero of this story, you'd
go to the files of a newspaper and look into
the past.

Speaker 27 (01:41:51):
Well it isn't Dan Holliday.

Speaker 10 (01:41:52):
What are you doing down in the marga this dark times?

Speaker 4 (01:41:54):
Or would anybody be doing down in the Morguemac. Well,
some of them just lay there, you know me, diad,
I just got to have my little joke once in
a while. Now, what was that you're looking for? Oh?
The clips on a citizen named doctor Max Alexander. What
have you got on him? The works?

Speaker 10 (01:42:13):
There, the whole works.

Speaker 4 (01:42:20):
Prominent man dies following delicate operation, doctor criticized for taking chance,
and doctor Alexander walks out of operating room and disappears.
Reef stricken wife, employees, private investigators. When police fail to
find doctor Alexander, Doctor Alexander given up for dead. Not

(01:42:45):
a bad looking citizen, the doctor. He's been shot for
more angles in this Philadelphia, Atlantic city. Kindly eyes, intelligent face,
strong chin. Yes, doctor, when I see you, I'll know you,
and I hope to see you soon.

Speaker 19 (01:43:03):
Yes.

Speaker 4 (01:43:04):
Oh, I'm Dan Holiday, Miss Alexander. I'd like to talk
to you about your husband. My husband is dead, well,
some people think he isn't They've.

Speaker 72 (01:43:13):
Found something they think he's alive.

Speaker 2 (01:43:18):
Come in.

Speaker 72 (01:43:23):
Now, then, mister Holiday, who are you and why are
you looking for the doctor?

Speaker 2 (01:43:27):
Uh?

Speaker 4 (01:43:28):
A commission from the insurance company. I hoped you might
give me some information.

Speaker 72 (01:43:32):
It was on all the front pages.

Speaker 4 (01:43:35):
That's exactly as it happened.

Speaker 72 (01:43:37):
Yes, he was never seen again. Oh, mister Holiday, if
only you could find some trace of him.

Speaker 4 (01:43:45):
I'm going to try.

Speaker 72 (01:43:46):
You don't know how terrible it is, almost seven years,
but still I've had the feeling that you'll come back someday.
You look for me too, Well, of course I'm missing.

Speaker 4 (01:44:00):
So what about your daughter?

Speaker 72 (01:44:03):
After her father's disappearance, she couldn't stand it here in town.
She went to our ranch in New Mexico. Oh, a
father's disappearance broke her heart. Hi, I pray you'll find him.

Speaker 4 (01:44:17):
This is Alexander, so do I?

Speaker 10 (01:44:24):
Missus?

Speaker 4 (01:44:24):
Alexander's a grief stricken old lady, one who sincerely wants
her husband back. So where to look first? This is
the build up to the main story, Holiday, And if
you're smart, you'll you'll bring in all the characters.

Speaker 2 (01:44:41):
Where to mister?

Speaker 4 (01:44:42):
I want a drawing room to Albuquerque, New Mexico. Well, Holiday,
you've got a railroad ticket in an hour to make
the train. Got to get back to your apartment, a
quick shower, pack your bag and get on your way.
You've been waiting for you, mister Holliday. Well, gentlemen. Is

(01:45:05):
this a pleasant intrusion? And I hope you are gentleman.
We were positive you wouldn't mind. Oh, of course not.
People break in here regularly. Good sit down, if you
don't mind. I like the Arab here as you wish.
I understand you like to travel, mister Holliday, travel a

(01:45:27):
wonderful pastime. Travel. Never think of South America often, you see,
I'm a common Miranda fan. How would you like to
go to South America for me? All expense is paid
for as long as you want to stay. How would
I have to do? Just forget of your things like

(01:45:50):
New Mexico, particularly New Mexico, give me about two weeks.
I'm your man. You don't seem to understand. You're leaving tonight.
Well that's what I mean. But I'm going west, no south.
You and I would make a nice compass together. Now,
I suppose you point north and walk right out of

(01:46:11):
this apartment. Oh and don't get your gorilla. You mean
Spencer If that's his name, I mean Spencer. You'll hurt
his feelings talking that way? Now, that makes us even
just looking at him hurts mine? Is it South America
in a way? At least I'm showing the open door policy.

(01:46:33):
I get out you and your gorilla spencer. I wouldn't
recommend that, so I said, get out. Have you ever
stopped to consider something, mister Holliday? What you may never
get to New Mexico.

Speaker 69 (01:46:54):
You are listening to Box thirteen starring Alan Ladd as
Dan Holliday, and now back to Box thirteen starring Alan

(01:47:18):
Ladder as Dan Holliday.

Speaker 4 (01:47:27):
Well, well, now you've got all the ingredients for a story.
Insurance investigator doesn't believe doctor is dead. Wife doesn't believe
doctors dead. Two men try to stop Wrider from making
further investigation. All right, Holiday, right the rest of the plot.

(01:47:48):
Maybe you'd better hit the sack. This is very pleasant.
I've got to come to drawing room. No, but it's
got a thousand springs. These my worries. Oh the man
with the aurage to send me to South America, Well

(01:48:08):
I've got something for him. Now follow what's the big
idea of breaking in here? I'm sorry, I must have
come into the wrong drawing room. You came into the
wrong apartment a couple of hours ago. Now what do
you want? I just wanted to go to sleep in
my traveling bag. I was looking for my razor. I

(01:48:29):
wanted to shave you just had a close one. Come
on well to find out if you got space in
this train. If you haven't, we'll make some for you
under God in the baggage car. This is fine. I

(01:48:49):
couldn't prove a thing. My friend had space into the conductor.
It seemed like a perfectly logical thing to mistake Car
nineteen for Car eighteen. Who this man is and who's
in the back of him? Next toop Albuquerque Albuquerque. Well
that's the end of the line for me, and I
hope I don't mean that too literally. Long distance. I

(01:49:18):
want to speak to Katherine Alexander at the bar Cross
Bar Ranch just outside of Valmont. Yes, hello, uh miss Alexander. Yes,
this is Dan Holliday. Wonder if I might come out
to the ranch to see you.

Speaker 24 (01:49:36):
Oh, you're the man who's looking for father.

Speaker 23 (01:49:39):
Mother wired me about you.

Speaker 4 (01:49:41):
Was it complimentary?

Speaker 29 (01:49:43):
Mother said she.

Speaker 23 (01:49:43):
Believed if anyone could find Dad, you could come right out.

Speaker 4 (01:49:48):
I want to talk to you, and I want to
talk to you.

Speaker 10 (01:50:00):
Mister.

Speaker 4 (01:50:01):
Yeah, I ever hear of Valmont? Sure did?

Speaker 23 (01:50:04):
No? It is?

Speaker 2 (01:50:06):
Sure?

Speaker 4 (01:50:06):
Do very far? Sure is? Can you take me there.

Speaker 27 (01:50:12):
Sure kN you got enough money to pay for the trip?

Speaker 4 (01:50:16):
Sure have? Let's go then, sure thing? This is New
Mexico holiday. Breathe deeply and teach your lungs to a
shot of straight o Zone twenty miles to Valmont, and

(01:50:37):
all you've seen on the whole trip is four buzzers,
three in the air and the one driving. And if
he's a cab driver, I'm a flying disc.

Speaker 2 (01:50:47):
Car behind.

Speaker 4 (01:50:48):
Yeah, so I hear wants me to pull over, don't
do it? Know them fellas? One of them is Spencer,
friend of yours. That depends on what you mean by friend.

Speaker 27 (01:51:01):
I gotta pull up. Those guys are going to run
me into the ditch any fight?

Speaker 4 (01:51:10):
Nope? Then can you recommend it a dentist?

Speaker 23 (01:51:13):
What for?

Speaker 4 (01:51:14):
Something tells me that when this is over, I'm gonna
need a new set of teeth. You feel better, young man? Yeah,
thanks sir. What happened after those two fellas jumped me?

(01:51:35):
Oh are you?

Speaker 62 (01:51:36):
My name is Moran. I'm the caretaker up at the
bar Crossbar Ranch. I was coming down this way when
you were forced off the road. What happened to the driver?

Speaker 4 (01:51:46):
Last I saw of him, he was just a cloud
of dust. I remember now I got out of the car.
He drove away.

Speaker 62 (01:51:53):
Those two fellows started to beat you up good. When
they saw me coming, they ran off too. I had
a mighty close call, young man.

Speaker 4 (01:52:02):
I had three of them. After this, my luck runs out.
Somebody after you and vice versa say how far is
the ranch? Half a mile up the road? Let it
take it easy, come on, I've got to get to
the ranch, and you can make it, my friend, I've
got to make it. This is not good, Spencer, and

(01:52:31):
is a grilla following me all the way out here,
trying to stop me at every turn. Maybe I'm getting warm.
But if that's true, why hasn't someone else found, Doctor Alexander?
Here's the ranch house, Melidy.

Speaker 19 (01:52:45):
You say, Miss Catherine was expecting.

Speaker 4 (01:52:46):
You, Yes, but hardly in this condition.

Speaker 35 (01:52:50):
You're Dan Holliday.

Speaker 29 (01:52:53):
What happened?

Speaker 24 (01:52:54):
You're all beaaten up?

Speaker 4 (01:52:56):
So this is Kathine Alexander. What a beautiful girl, and
what beautiful lies.

Speaker 48 (01:53:07):
You'd better lie down, mister Holliday.

Speaker 8 (01:53:09):
You're badly hurt.

Speaker 4 (01:53:10):
Oh no, thanks, Miss Alexander. I I don't feel that bad.
I just look that way. Anything more I could do.

Speaker 19 (01:53:15):
Miss Keathy?

Speaker 31 (01:53:16):
Oh no, no, and thank you so much.

Speaker 35 (01:53:19):
If you hadn't come along, mister Holliday, it might have
been badly injured.

Speaker 4 (01:53:22):
Perhaps fatally.

Speaker 6 (01:53:23):
Thank you, miss Kathy.

Speaker 4 (01:53:26):
Now, then how about a hot shower.

Speaker 31 (01:53:29):
You can get a rub down and a change of clothes.

Speaker 4 (01:53:31):
Miss Alexander, you read a man's mind.

Speaker 39 (01:53:34):
Sometimes that's a pleasure, depending on.

Speaker 4 (01:53:38):
The man you're depending on me, what do you think? Well,
this is more like it. Hot shower, brisk rub down,
but lie down on a few outs things. And Katherine

(01:53:58):
was kind enough to loan me some ride that should
indicate a sojourn in the saddle out from the desert.
But the stars blinking their approval of my companion, blinking approval. Holiday,
you're an incurable romantic.

Speaker 70 (01:54:17):
Isn't this beautiful?

Speaker 35 (01:54:19):
A gorgeous sky and the stars?

Speaker 4 (01:54:22):
You love it, don't you? I always have, always will?
Have you been here long?

Speaker 35 (01:54:28):
The bar cross bar belonged to my dad.

Speaker 2 (01:54:31):
We used to come out during the summer.

Speaker 8 (01:54:33):
Now I live here all the time alone.

Speaker 4 (01:54:36):
Oh, there's always Morne, Marianne. He's a strange old fellow.

Speaker 24 (01:54:41):
People around here say he's a little titched, but he's
been wonderful to meet.

Speaker 4 (01:54:47):
Oh I say those men who jumped me down the road,
Marianne ever see him before him?

Speaker 8 (01:54:53):
How could he?

Speaker 24 (01:54:54):
They were strangers?

Speaker 4 (01:54:56):
Oh, your your mother told you've been searching for your
father a long time.

Speaker 9 (01:55:02):
Yes, mother and I have spent a fortune on private detectives,
investigators following up leaves, but nothing ever happened.

Speaker 4 (01:55:11):
Yes, I know. Oh tell me, miss Alexander. Kathy please, uh, Kathy,
have you any idea where I might begin to look?
I thought you might give me a starting point.

Speaker 8 (01:55:23):
Not unless it would be back in the city.

Speaker 48 (01:55:26):
He just walked out one day.

Speaker 31 (01:55:28):
No one ever saw him.

Speaker 4 (01:55:29):
Again, and I'd better go back there and start from scratch.

Speaker 29 (01:55:33):
You don't have to leave right away.

Speaker 4 (01:55:37):
I'd enjoy staying a while.

Speaker 10 (01:55:40):
Maybe I have been lonesome.

Speaker 8 (01:55:42):
Perhaps I've forgotten what companionship can be.

Speaker 4 (01:55:45):
Perhaps you'll stay a while a while.

Speaker 8 (01:55:51):
Good, say the time.

Speaker 24 (01:55:54):
We'll be much too late for dinner.

Speaker 2 (01:55:56):
Come on, I'll race you.

Speaker 24 (01:55:57):
You're on, hurry or I'll beat you.

Speaker 11 (01:56:02):
I'm at the corral gate.

Speaker 3 (01:56:03):
Already, Cathy.

Speaker 4 (01:56:05):
Look out, Kelly, Cathy, there's the holiday.

Speaker 3 (01:56:14):
What happened?

Speaker 4 (01:56:15):
You're racing the horse? Stumble of that lawer barn through
her we got gash in her head.

Speaker 19 (01:56:19):
She's unconscious.

Speaker 4 (01:56:19):
I hope she isn't seriously hurt. Sandra Man getting the
house collar doctor, Yes, a doctor, doctor, hurry, will you,
of course get into the medicine Capitol house.

Speaker 3 (01:56:29):
I need some bandages.

Speaker 62 (01:56:30):
She may be suffering from multiple contusions or even a
compound sculf fracture.

Speaker 3 (01:56:35):
Hurry.

Speaker 4 (01:56:35):
Will you compound golf fracture?

Speaker 28 (01:56:37):
Hi, I don't know if you can find it.

Speaker 11 (01:56:38):
Hurry, I said, There isn't much.

Speaker 4 (01:56:39):
Time, Okay, Doctor Alexander.

Speaker 69 (01:56:49):
You are listening to Box thirteen starring Alan Ladd as
Damn Holiday.

Speaker 4 (01:57:15):
Well, I'm back in the city again, walking up the
street towards that same grim grayhouse where I first met Abner.
Blake up the steps Holiday and write the final chapter.
That was a nice job, Holiday, I was nice about it.
What do you mean you didn't see the look in

(01:57:37):
doctor Alexander's eyes when he recovered his mind and that lovely,
lovely girl being mixed up in a deal like this.
If you feel sorry for her, you're making a big mistake.

Speaker 2 (01:57:47):
Yes, I know.

Speaker 4 (01:57:48):
She was following him the day walked out into the country.
She'd almost caught up with him when a hit and
run driver knocked him down. That's when she got the
idea for the Disappearance Act. Why not? The doctor's face
has been so damn it no one would ever recognize him,
and he lost his memory. To top it off, we've
got the daughter and the mother in custody. Just think
if she hadn't fallen off that horse, I might never

(01:58:11):
have been able to prove that doctor Alexander was alive.
I know. Hiding him on his own ranch was the
daughter's I did too.

Speaker 2 (01:58:18):
Why not?

Speaker 4 (01:58:19):
No one would pay attention to an old man puttering
around the place. I've got a story, and I don't
like it. Mother and daughter hide amnesia victim to collect insurance.
Excuse me, Blake speaking? He yes, he's here for you, Hardy.
Oh thanks, Hello, mister Halliday.

Speaker 33 (01:58:41):
This is Susie.

Speaker 4 (01:58:42):
Oh yes, Susie is a message.

Speaker 73 (01:58:44):
Boy and back thirteen.

Speaker 39 (01:58:46):
Shall I read it to you?

Speaker 4 (01:58:47):
Nah, Susie. You know you're not supposed to open my mail.

Speaker 72 (01:58:50):
But this is already open. It's a postcard.

Speaker 4 (01:58:53):
Oh is it interesting? I think it is all right?
Come on, come on tell me what it says.

Speaker 33 (01:58:59):
It did rental for box thirteen fifteen Dallas.

Speaker 69 (01:59:03):
Oh fine, goodbye, Susy. Next week, same time. Alan Ladd
stars as Dan Holliday in Box thirteen. Alan Ladd appears

(01:59:32):
through the courtesy of Paramount Pictures and may currently be
seen in Wild Harvest. Box thirteen is written and directed
by Ted Heddeger. Original music was composed and conducted by
Rudy Schrager.

Speaker 4 (01:59:45):
This is a Mayfair production.

Speaker 74 (01:59:53):
The Old Nurse's Story now on Mystery Theater. On Mystery
Theater tonight, Missus Glassfell's story in radio version by Gavin

(02:00:17):
Douglas from CBC Halifax, we present the Old Nurse's Story.

Speaker 54 (02:00:33):
There ll by last, come closer, and I'll tell you
something from long ago, something that you've never never heard.
You know, my dear, that your mother was an orphan
and an only child. There never was such a baby
before or since. So you've all been fine enough in
his turns a sweet winning ways you've none of you

(02:00:54):
come up to your mother. To my dear, Rossamund, my mistress,
your grandmother commanded me on her deathbed never to leave
my little charge, for I was the last person left
alive who loved her. If my lady had never spoken
so much as a word, I'd have gone with Miss
Rosamond to the end of the world far we were

(02:01:14):
to go before our tears would dry or the gray
flowers could wither.

Speaker 10 (02:01:27):
You are the woman hester Albert.

Speaker 24 (02:01:30):
I am, sir.

Speaker 2 (02:01:31):
There is an orphan child here named Rosamond.

Speaker 75 (02:01:33):
There is, sir, good stand aside, if I may be
so bold to ask me good enough to stand aside.

Speaker 2 (02:01:40):
When you are told, I am informed that you are
the child's nurse, fetch her.

Speaker 54 (02:01:49):
I tell you right, sir, I was interested with miss
Rosamond by her poor mother that's now in a better place.
And at the last word, I'll say, until you tell
me your name in your business.

Speaker 2 (02:01:58):
I suppose that allowance must be made for your grief
or your breeding.

Speaker 10 (02:02:03):
My name is Carston.

Speaker 2 (02:02:05):
I have the honor to be agent to the Lord
Mackress of fenyval Ah.

Speaker 3 (02:02:10):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (02:02:10):
Indeed, I should think that even a nurse maid would
know it when a mistress was first cousin to appear
the realm. I was aware, sir, that your mistress married
a commoner of no birth or means, against my Lord's command,
with the present result a penniless orphan. The child may
count herself lucky that the Fernivals do not visit their
wrath to the second and third generations. Lord is pleased

(02:02:34):
to recognize Miss Rosamond as a blood relative, though mingled
with inferior stock. As her guardian, he has ordered me
to escort her post haste tomorrow morning to Fernival Hall
in Northumberland.

Speaker 10 (02:02:49):
See that she is ready.

Speaker 54 (02:02:51):
Mister Carson, you're not separated.

Speaker 20 (02:02:53):
The choice lies with you.

Speaker 2 (02:02:55):
Miss Rosamond is accustomed.

Speaker 20 (02:02:57):
To your care.

Speaker 2 (02:02:58):
If you mind your place, you may remain with her
one or two dependents more or less.

Speaker 10 (02:03:03):
Ser of no concern to be Lord, good.

Speaker 4 (02:03:05):
Day, But so what are we to do?

Speaker 75 (02:03:07):
Have your instructions? Good day, hestherster cast You are approaching

(02:03:40):
Fernible Hall.

Speaker 8 (02:03:42):
Wake the child must I sir. She's in the deep
sleep at last.

Speaker 2 (02:03:45):
And it's been such a care I say. We are
answering the great park, and it's my lord's orders that
the estate and the rank of her ancestors be impressed
at once. Upon her mind very well, sir?

Speaker 76 (02:03:58):
Can he my lack of a wake up?

Speaker 58 (02:04:01):
Resident?

Speaker 33 (02:04:02):
Here where we come to?

Speaker 6 (02:04:06):
Oh?

Speaker 33 (02:04:07):
Will the farms and cottages.

Speaker 35 (02:04:10):
Stare back on the road right, dear?

Speaker 54 (02:04:12):
We're driving through the great Park of fernival Ord.

Speaker 39 (02:04:14):
A couple of shelves look.

Speaker 33 (02:04:16):
Around you, Oh, yes, that's not a park. So wild
and cold. There's nothing but rocks, no trees, white and lonely.

Speaker 2 (02:04:30):
Look at the great hole, will yes, you were about
to say, with three branches dragging against its windows and
its gardens turning back into forests.

Speaker 39 (02:04:39):
There a gardener, hush rotteness.

Speaker 2 (02:04:41):
Missus Fernival will tolerate no gardens and no scenery. The
curtains of our own apartments are drawn winter and summer.

Speaker 14 (02:04:48):
Day and night.

Speaker 54 (02:04:49):
Missus Furnival. Is my lord not here?

Speaker 7 (02:04:51):
The Lord Fernval.

Speaker 2 (02:04:53):
Never did you get that idea? My Lord has never
set foot within the walls, nor has any other member
of the family these fifty years. Well, the same length
of time. My Lord's great aunt, Miss Fernival, has never
set foot in the outside world. I think it was
in my Lord's mind that Miss Rosamond might perhaps amuse

(02:05:15):
his aunt. And the air is healthy here, only beware
of the winter.

Speaker 71 (02:05:23):
The winter.

Speaker 17 (02:05:25):
Come.

Speaker 4 (02:05:25):
We have a right step down, step down.

Speaker 28 (02:05:28):
I may not accompany you within.

Speaker 2 (02:05:31):
I am to join my Lord at once in Newcastle,
but you are expected to.

Speaker 20 (02:05:35):
Mister you have a month until the winter gales.

Speaker 10 (02:05:38):
When they come. If you are a wise.

Speaker 2 (02:05:41):
Girl, stop your ears and keep away from the windows,
mister cat.

Speaker 54 (02:06:02):
When we came up the great front steps and were
admitted into the entrance hall, I thought we should be lost.

Speaker 39 (02:06:08):
It was so large and vast and grand.

Speaker 54 (02:06:11):
There was a shend of deer, all of bronze, hung
down from the middle of the ceiling. I'd never seen
one before, and look that is all in amaze. At
one end of the hall there was a great fireplace,
told and unlit. Who was larger the side of the
houses in my country. And on the western side was
a huge old organ built into the wall, so broad

(02:06:33):
and high that it covered the best part of that area.
So we were led on past the organ, through end
of saintly corridors to the west wing, and at last
we came to a suite of apartments where it always
seemed to be night. Fires crackled in the rooms, and
curtains of heavy velvet shut out the daylight. Miss Fernable

(02:06:56):
sat in a high, narrow chair, her faces full of wrinkles,
as if they'd been troll over it with a needle's point.
To me, she looked proud and frail and trembling with
a coal No fire could walk.

Speaker 71 (02:07:11):
Welcome to heard in the hall. Rosamond, you're a surprisingly
pretty ungraceful child. Perhaps you are a Furnival after all.

Speaker 54 (02:07:26):
Sitting with her and working at the same great piece
of tapestry with her companion, missus Stark, she looks so
gray and stony, as if she'd never loved a kid.

Speaker 39 (02:07:37):
For anyone, do not stand staring.

Speaker 10 (02:07:40):
Child, It shows an idle mind.

Speaker 39 (02:07:43):
And you, what is your name, girl, Hester Orwoodman?

Speaker 63 (02:07:47):
Is very well.

Speaker 10 (02:07:47):
Hester.

Speaker 77 (02:07:49):
Your quarters and the child's nursery will be directly over
the kitchen. You will share your meals with Dorothy the cook,
and old James, her husband, since Miss Rosamond has him
with the family. She will dine with Miss Fernival and myself.
You will of course remain in attendance behind her chair
throughout the meal. Is that clear perfectly, ma'am?

Speaker 19 (02:08:10):
Good?

Speaker 31 (02:08:11):
We dine at seven.

Speaker 2 (02:08:13):
I think that will be sufficient until then.

Speaker 71 (02:08:15):
There is one other matter, and it is absolutely vital.
You may move throughout this west wing and the center
hall as you wish, Hester, But the East wing is
locked and long abandoned, and is never under any circumstances
to be entered, no matter what may.

Speaker 14 (02:08:37):
Occur or seem to occur.

Speaker 54 (02:08:40):
Very well, miss, Ernibal, you are very silent.

Speaker 2 (02:08:45):
Araus a man.

Speaker 8 (02:08:46):
Oh she's shy, ma'am. It's already new and strange to her.

Speaker 71 (02:08:50):
Very likely, very likely, and yet she ought to be
at easier. You will see her face in a dozen
for traits on the wall. Perhaps rasbond Our ancestors will approve.
Perhaps the dead will even roll.

Speaker 5 (02:09:09):
To love you.

Speaker 33 (02:09:11):
Will they speak to me?

Speaker 8 (02:09:12):
Be tooful?

Speaker 20 (02:09:13):
No, no, no, God gret may be too proud for that.

Speaker 71 (02:09:17):
God would not a thou innocent to hear. God would
not a grace, a bigger pardon. I am an old
woman gathering wall. You'd better go now, Hester, James and
Dorothy will show you round your quarters. Oh, er Hester, Yes, miss,

(02:09:40):
When Rosamond is ready, you may bring her down to us.
Don't wait until the bell, Grace.

Speaker 10 (02:09:47):
If you are going to spoil the child, and.

Speaker 71 (02:09:49):
It has been so long, so long, surely we may
relax some ceremony for the very young wo.

Speaker 8 (02:10:27):
I tell you Hester. James looks down on me.

Speaker 19 (02:10:32):
With you.

Speaker 8 (02:10:32):
I tell you he does.

Speaker 39 (02:10:34):
He's lived near all his life in my Lord's family
and thinks there's no one so grand as they.

Speaker 78 (02:10:40):
Until he married me, I'd never lived in any but
a farmer's household, and he lords it over me as
if he was a very Fernaval himself.

Speaker 10 (02:10:48):
I'd be in a way, mind you.

Speaker 2 (02:10:51):
I'm very fond of you.

Speaker 8 (02:10:52):
Hear him now. I can't think of nothing I'd rather do,
unless to hear both.

Speaker 31 (02:10:57):
Oh, it's so good to be a bun smile.

Speaker 58 (02:10:59):
So people in her house.

Speaker 78 (02:11:03):
In the house said, in a house that's forbidden, strange
and cold. Oh all right, James, I'll say nothing. I
guess you're miss Fernival.

Speaker 48 (02:11:11):
She's a good enough.

Speaker 78 (02:11:11):
Mistress in her high grand way. If she holds herself
so tall, she pays for it, as the Good book says.
Did you see her tonight after dinner has tur when
Miss Rosamond went skipping off with James and me to
the kitchen as soon as ever she could.

Speaker 39 (02:11:23):
Yes, I do believe she wants to stay.

Speaker 54 (02:11:26):
Her eyes were begging Rosamond to stay, but she wouldn't ask.

Speaker 39 (02:11:30):
She loves the little one, never doubted. That's too late
now to make hermends.

Speaker 2 (02:11:35):
Now the weather is closing in these nights, Dorothy, best
pay mine to your own dudies.

Speaker 33 (02:11:40):
Is the snow so terrible here?

Speaker 10 (02:11:43):
Huh?

Speaker 54 (02:11:43):
The snow well everyone seems to dread the weather. Tonight
at dinner, Miss fernivhal stare at missus Stark with those
sad eyes of hers, and said, I'm afraid we shall
have a terrible winter. It seemed a harmless enough thing
to say, but missus Stark pretended not to hear, and
talk very loud of something.

Speaker 11 (02:12:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 31 (02:12:01):
Well, come along, my dear.

Speaker 78 (02:12:03):
We're all becoming gloomy, and there's no need. Lord knows
there are distractions enough here. It's a wonderful, great rambling
house and a famous place for a wee one like
miss Rosamond. Come tomorrow, when you're free, and I'll show
you the East Wing.

Speaker 10 (02:12:16):
You mean the West wing, eh, bless us?

Speaker 78 (02:12:19):
Yes what am I saying? Great goat, you've flustered my
wits with your teasing.

Speaker 39 (02:12:24):
Of course I mean the West wing. It's all green
and gloomy hester through the tree boughs and the ivy
that darkens the windows. But the rooms are full of treasures,
all drowned, you might say, in the green water, old
china jars and carved ivory boxes and wonderful things. Of

(02:12:45):
course we'll go tomorrow. There's nothing to see in the
east wings that a Christian would want to see.

Speaker 78 (02:13:09):
Tell me of no coaches haven't run in many a year,
Miss Rosamond, And I shan'n't know so they are?

Speaker 39 (02:13:16):
How many pictures in our room after room?

Speaker 78 (02:13:19):
I there were a mighty family since the time of
the Border Wars and long before.

Speaker 39 (02:13:23):
But this is the last chamber. That was the old
state drawing room in the grand days, that hung the
best of the pictures.

Speaker 17 (02:13:29):
Here.

Speaker 39 (02:13:29):
Who's the man in the plumes and gold lace.

Speaker 78 (02:13:32):
That's Sir Humphrey Fernival, that fought for the Martha King
and fled to France with Charles the dissolute Dorothy.

Speaker 33 (02:13:37):
Who's the lovely lady.

Speaker 8 (02:13:38):
Over the mantle plan?

Speaker 39 (02:13:40):
Well, let me ask that my.

Speaker 78 (02:13:41):
Dear is the mistress, Miss Fernival, as she was these
fifty years gone by?

Speaker 29 (02:13:47):
Miss Ernable?

Speaker 8 (02:13:48):
Wonder to look at she was then?

Speaker 39 (02:13:50):
But such a sep proud luck and the scorn in
her eyes.

Speaker 33 (02:13:55):
She laughing, I says, why should she laugh?

Speaker 71 (02:13:58):
Should she?

Speaker 33 (02:13:58):
You has the funny dress.

Speaker 39 (02:14:00):
It was all the fashion when she was young. Miss
I remember something like it.

Speaker 78 (02:14:03):
When I was a wee thing like you, great ladies
wore beaver hats with ostrich plumes, tilted over their brows
like that, and satin gowns with them quitted stomachers, just
as you see her.

Speaker 39 (02:14:13):
Well, to be sure, flesh is grass, they do say.

Speaker 54 (02:14:17):
But who'd have thought that Miss Fernival had been such
an out and out beauty to see a Now.

Speaker 39 (02:14:24):
Folks change sadly.

Speaker 78 (02:14:27):
But there was another sister, And if what my master's
father used to say was true, Miss Vanessa that's dead
now was even handsomer than our mistress.

Speaker 10 (02:14:34):
Miss Grace.

Speaker 39 (02:14:36):
But if I show it you, you must never let
on even to James, that you've seen it. Can the
little one hold her tongue? Do you think I wouldn't
risk it?

Speaker 54 (02:14:47):
Rosamond, did you go and hide in the next chamber
in the red room, And I'll show you.

Speaker 25 (02:14:52):
How quickly I can find you.

Speaker 2 (02:14:53):
It's not I.

Speaker 33 (02:14:55):
You never will find you, You know you never will.

Speaker 39 (02:15:00):
Now, quickly turn the picture around, that one that's not
hung up and leaves against the wall.

Speaker 54 (02:15:05):
Yes, this way, to be sure, it beats Miss Grace
for beauty, and I think for schoolful pride too. Now,
for that matter, it is hard enough to choose Miss Vanessa.

Speaker 35 (02:15:20):
She did you say she was buried?

Speaker 39 (02:15:22):
I turned the picture around begin to turn the round
and come away.

Speaker 8 (02:15:37):
More.

Speaker 2 (02:15:39):
I'm bitter yep for the shepherds on the fells, just
the time.

Speaker 45 (02:15:44):
A year now from our Lord's birth to Epephany, that
the wind and the cold here do their was.

Speaker 54 (02:15:55):
Seems cruel of the weather to bite most cleanly in
the Christmas season.

Speaker 10 (02:16:00):
The winds at Turk. It pays no mind to Savior.

Speaker 6 (02:16:06):
I can hear it again.

Speaker 54 (02:16:08):
That's the second night I've heard it.

Speaker 39 (02:16:10):
Someone's playing the great organ in the entrance hall.

Speaker 6 (02:16:12):
Ba.

Speaker 10 (02:16:14):
Your fancy's got your Hester. It's the wind in the
branches and the old eve shames.

Speaker 8 (02:16:21):
It's not Please don't play melodies.

Speaker 33 (02:16:24):
And as I can hear them distinctly, the.

Speaker 45 (02:16:27):
More poor you than to take wind in the branches
for Honna's tunes.

Speaker 2 (02:16:32):
I have better things to do than to listen to
the girl's fear of a storm. I've worked to do
in the pantry, and I'll thank you to kick your
tram and yourself.

Speaker 10 (02:16:44):
Forgive him Hester.

Speaker 8 (02:16:46):
He's not been well these last days.

Speaker 39 (02:16:48):
Dorothy, what is Please hush for a moment, shashion disten.

Speaker 4 (02:16:53):
Will you.

Speaker 54 (02:16:56):
Confess it, Dorothy? You hear it as clearly as I do.

Speaker 44 (02:17:01):
Oh God, helped me.

Speaker 10 (02:17:02):
I do, I saw just everyone else. You must learn
to bear it as we do.

Speaker 39 (02:17:07):
It will not harm you. But who is it who's
playing head?

Speaker 78 (02:17:10):
Since before I came to the hall, has been said to.

Speaker 9 (02:17:12):
Be the old Lord Fernavle, the grandfather of the present Lord,
playing on the great organ in the hall, just as he.

Speaker 39 (02:17:19):
Used to do when he was alive.

Speaker 78 (02:17:21):
I've heard it many a time, but most of all
in winter nights and just before storms.

Speaker 9 (02:17:26):
You said, mister Carston, when he brought you here, told
you to stop your ears in.

Speaker 39 (02:17:29):
The winter time, and you did not know what you meant.
I think you know now.

Speaker 54 (02:17:43):
I thought at first it might be misus Fernible, who
played unknown to Dorothy. One day, when I was in
the hole by myself, I opened the organ and peered
all about it and around it, as I done once
to the one in Avantage Church, and I saw it
was all broken, and this straight inside.

Speaker 10 (02:18:01):
Oh, it looks so brave and fine. And then it
was day.

Speaker 54 (02:18:06):
My flesh began to creep a little, and I shut
it up and ran away to my own bright room.
I didn't like hearing the music for some time after that.

Speaker 71 (02:18:28):
Come in, you're barkester, it was a bitter gold, lad
of water Church. I should think I must confess that
I admire your party.

Speaker 54 (02:18:41):
It's kind of you to say some pem, but there's
no sacrifice on a night like this, with the moon
on the snow, it's as bright as day outside.

Speaker 8 (02:18:50):
Where is she hiding?

Speaker 39 (02:18:51):
Where is who hiding?

Speaker 24 (02:18:52):
Why?

Speaker 54 (02:18:53):
Rosam and missus Stark? Dorothy said she left the kitchen
an hour ago, and she's not in any of the
other rooms.

Speaker 77 (02:18:58):
Yes, yes, do you want to said the little Dixon
is asleep among the cushions, somewhere in the room, all
hiding behind the screen depends.

Speaker 78 (02:19:06):
Upon it, Thomas, Missus starkho heaven, bliss, yester your ear, Christmas, Rosamond, Jesus.

Speaker 45 (02:19:21):
She's nearly frost.

Speaker 10 (02:19:25):
The chaffer arms and legs.

Speaker 2 (02:19:30):
Are tiny hook French vanishing up the house side in the.

Speaker 14 (02:19:34):
Snow around as I haven't rand the thirty.

Speaker 2 (02:19:37):
Years, and I found her halfway up the feel but
the old Holley Bosh stuff and cold.

Speaker 6 (02:19:46):
Holleybush.

Speaker 23 (02:19:47):
Hi, Hi.

Speaker 33 (02:19:52):
Sleeps the beautiful lady. If you said her cry, you
let her in?

Speaker 8 (02:19:59):
Thank God, Lady.

Speaker 33 (02:20:03):
Hester, where's the lady? And the little girl?

Speaker 54 (02:20:07):
Tell us everything from the beginning and then back so
we can answer you where did you go when you
left Dorothy in the kitchen.

Speaker 73 (02:20:15):
I was on my way to see Auntie Fernival and
and and I saw snow falling through the windows, and
I thought how pretty and white it must be to
see it on the ground.

Speaker 33 (02:20:28):
And so then I went to the Great Hall to
see out through the tall windows.

Speaker 39 (02:20:33):
And I looked out, and the snow was bright and soft.

Speaker 59 (02:20:39):
But there was a little girl, and so thinly dressed.

Speaker 66 (02:20:43):
Hester in all the snow and cold, and not so
old as I am, but so pretty. And she beat
her hands against the window and cried to be let in.

Speaker 59 (02:20:55):
All the time she beat on the glass, and all
the time she could you couldn't hear a sound.

Speaker 30 (02:21:02):
Oh help, Mercy.

Speaker 33 (02:21:07):
So I went outside let her in. But instead of
coming in, she took my hand, fast.

Speaker 73 (02:21:13):
And tight, and furson.

Speaker 8 (02:21:15):
It was very, very cold, and.

Speaker 59 (02:21:19):
She took me up the fell path, up to the
holly trees. And there I saw a lady weeping and crying, never.

Speaker 39 (02:21:27):
Devil, restless alive she was, and restless dead.

Speaker 59 (02:21:31):
But as soon as she saw me she hushed her
weeping and smiled very proud and grand, and and and
and she took me on her knee and lulled me away,
way off to sleep.

Speaker 71 (02:21:46):
Mercy, wilt thou never forgive.

Speaker 9 (02:21:51):
It's met me a long year ago.

Speaker 39 (02:21:54):
Come away now, oh dear, we are all, you know,
we are all, and it's time to rest. Don't you
think it's time?

Speaker 71 (02:22:07):
Of course, of course you're all right, and you always were, Rosamond, Yes, Auntie,
would you remember something, my dear, would you remember something?
If I said it?

Speaker 14 (02:22:25):
Yes?

Speaker 71 (02:22:25):
Not full of what is done in you cannot be
undone in age. Good night, I dearest, goodnight.

Speaker 39 (02:22:36):
Good night, Come grace.

Speaker 19 (02:22:38):
Come.

Speaker 39 (02:22:39):
That's it, my dear, Rosamond.

Speaker 54 (02:22:47):
You were lying just now or imagining things, won't you?

Speaker 33 (02:22:50):
Indeed has done telling you to choose.

Speaker 39 (02:22:52):
Indeed, she must be telling the truth.

Speaker 23 (02:22:55):
Ester.

Speaker 39 (02:22:56):
She can have heard no stories of the child and
the woman in the snow, but they existed.

Speaker 9 (02:22:59):
Once, God help us to do still, you must have
seen them.

Speaker 33 (02:23:04):
Tell me once and for all?

Speaker 79 (02:23:05):
What did she see?

Speaker 19 (02:23:07):
She saw missus Vannible's health.

Speaker 3 (02:23:10):
That's always weather, that's weather.

Speaker 4 (02:23:12):
For the years.

Speaker 78 (02:23:13):
James was but a boy in the days when America
rebelled against King George, the old Lord Farnaval.

Speaker 8 (02:23:18):
Our mistress's father ruled here. It was a fierce dooor old.

Speaker 39 (02:23:23):
Man that broke his wife's heart with cruelty.

Speaker 8 (02:23:26):
And his mad pride.

Speaker 10 (02:23:27):
But above all things, next to his pride, the old.

Speaker 6 (02:23:31):
Lord loved music.

Speaker 45 (02:23:33):
He could play on nearly every instrument you ever had.

Speaker 8 (02:23:36):
Tell of, And it was a strange thing.

Speaker 10 (02:23:40):
It didn't he go to soften his heart, But it didn't.

Speaker 39 (02:23:44):
He He had over an Italian music master to teach.

Speaker 9 (02:23:48):
Him the organ, but many's and many's the time as
he rolled out his fine music, his teacher was walking
in the woods with his daughter's misgrace, our mistress, and
Miss Vanessa, whose picture you saw up above.

Speaker 10 (02:24:04):
You know their pride.

Speaker 45 (02:24:05):
But pride will have a fall, they say, And they
loved the both of them, that scorned the dukes and
princes of their day.

Speaker 10 (02:24:14):
They loved an Italian music.

Speaker 8 (02:24:17):
Was miss Vanessa got him, hye.

Speaker 10 (02:24:21):
And Miss Grace wore vengeance she did and bided her time.

Speaker 9 (02:24:27):
And the child at the window was Miss Vanessa's, and
the music masters hye.

Speaker 45 (02:24:33):
And the next year the Italian went off across the
sea and never came back.

Speaker 35 (02:24:41):
What did you do with the child?

Speaker 76 (02:24:42):
Tried to conceal it in her own quarters in the
east wind, and I found, oh, miss doc, I didn't
hear you at the door, Lord, did she the mother
of child crying and freezing this Now it was the
old lord's right to know what went on in his house.

Speaker 9 (02:25:02):
He didn't make the weather, he didn't make the days.
But he laid down all his music and died soon after.

Speaker 10 (02:25:10):
We think that, like the Italian he loved Miss Vanessa Moore.

Speaker 39 (02:25:16):
Miss Grace and missus Stark had killed their loves, and
over the years they did the same.

Speaker 45 (02:25:24):
For hours, house guest died, servants and the rest of
the family flight.

Speaker 77 (02:25:30):
Never returned to take Rosmund the way Hester far away.

Speaker 8 (02:25:37):
Miss Grace loves her. They will kill her.

Speaker 10 (02:25:42):
Go away, ah away.

Speaker 8 (02:25:48):
We love you.

Speaker 25 (02:25:50):
They will kill your innocent You kill no one.

Speaker 33 (02:25:54):
They can want nothing of you.

Speaker 10 (02:25:56):
We are faithful servants of We are adopted Paravos. If
we love you, they will kill you.

Speaker 25 (02:26:08):
Run run, And I've read like this which your mother
Rosamond in my arms.

Speaker 54 (02:26:25):
I look backwards at furna a horse the thinker block
from the west wing, where we've lived, shrouded in darkness,
is a.

Speaker 39 (02:26:33):
Long abandoned the east wing.

Speaker 54 (02:26:36):
By this the east wing, it glowed and shone with
lights spread Children's party.

Speaker 74 (02:26:56):
Mystery Theater has brought you The Old Nurse's Story by

Speaker 80 (02:27:36):
Audio Theater presents Chedar's Tales from the Morgue.

Speaker 10 (02:28:00):
He come in, my friend.

Speaker 42 (02:28:03):
He is so nice of you to pay me a visit.

Speaker 81 (02:28:07):
I am chet Chetter, the morgue attendant and resident storyteller.

Speaker 42 (02:28:16):
It's so sorry about this wretched humidity.

Speaker 81 (02:28:21):
The air conditioning is on the fritz and the repairment
is always slow to respond. Is perhaps the surroundings make
him squeamish, which is unfortunate. You see, in a morgue
things tend to spoil without adequate climate control. This that

(02:28:49):
reminds me of a story about a man who had
difficulty keeping his cool. The tale begins appropriately U during
a broadcast of a television weather report.

Speaker 19 (02:29:06):
Mister weather, what does the weather man say today?

Speaker 67 (02:29:14):
Warm with guys, and.

I don't know. Hot, hot, hot, Oh god, I'm hot.

Speaker 10 (02:31:28):

Now, he'd take a heap of your loving to kill me,
old girl, Paul.

Speaker 31 (02:33:09):
Oh, well get it, Paul.

Speaker 16 (02:33:15):
There's someone at the doorway.

Speaker 83 (02:33:17):

It gets kind of funny, isn't it.

Speaker 34 (02:36:19):
Brush?

Speaker 83 (02:36:20):
Where am I you in my backyard swimming pool? Of course,
with the heat you're putting out, it's more than like
one of them there, Jack.

Speaker 26 (02:36:28):
Coozie baths now, yeah, yeah, I feel like a main lobster.

Speaker 44 (02:36:34):
Where'd you get that fire suit?

Speaker 11 (02:36:36):
Eh?

Speaker 2 (02:36:37):
I burned it from the ferryman.

Speaker 18 (02:36:38):
Oh it's bath.

Speaker 83 (02:36:39):
The only ways I can get.

Speaker 20 (02:36:40):
Anywhere's near you.

Speaker 83 (02:36:42):
You're really cooking now, young Feller. He kind of blank
out after that bad water hits you. Yeah, shinded like
a red hot skin. It being dunked in the tube.

Speaker 2 (02:36:53):
Fireman helped move you after the fool else Lease, you might.

Speaker 42 (02:36:56):
Have burned the house down.

Speaker 26 (02:36:58):
Well, I'm so I've been so much trouble kind of
till you may have saved me from total incineration though.
Eh I'm still hot as hell, but this water seems
to be controlling it slightly.

Speaker 83 (02:37:09):
Where she I've been studying on your little dilemma there,
young Feller. You have, and I'll be swarmed to gracious
if it ain't a sure enough posure.

Speaker 11 (02:37:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 83 (02:37:19):
Well, now I doesn't rule dout that spontaneous human cumbusting
you see, Yeah, because I hear that a feller just
shows up like flash paper when that happens. Yes, I know,
So I took the liberty.

Speaker 26 (02:37:31):
Of calling the Institute of Unexplained phenomen just up road there.
They observed me a couple of years back because my
teeth are glowing in the dark. Turned out it was
some sort of radioactive toothpaste.

Speaker 44 (02:37:45):
There is you, honest in the surface. The Institute of
Unexplained Phenomenon.

Speaker 83 (02:37:50):
Issue is with the corner. Here comes in head scientists
right down, Oh evening, professor had Clint little.

Speaker 80 (02:37:57):
Mister Kennall, you seem to be badly old dad write
some vigoty queen.

Speaker 44 (02:38:02):
I'm tolerable, sirs.

Speaker 80 (02:38:04):
Thank you, mister Carlson, Yes, tell you I'm a great
fan of yours. I sit my outdoor activities by all
of you letter folks.

Speaker 44 (02:38:11):
Well, thank you. You can just call me see j Well, if.

Speaker 4 (02:38:15):
You have forgive me, I cannot shake your hand.

Speaker 80 (02:38:17):
But we must get straight down to business.

Speaker 4 (02:38:19):
Mister Carlson, Okay.

Speaker 80 (02:38:21):
I would like to have you come down to the
Institute for some observation with your permission.

Speaker 23 (02:38:25):
Of course.

Speaker 44 (02:38:26):
Well, how in the world would you get me down there?
I'm kind of hot to the touch.

Speaker 4 (02:38:30):
Just leave it up to me, mister Carlson.

Speaker 16 (02:38:33):
We're gonna have some assistance.

Speaker 80 (02:38:34):
Wrapped you up in as BESTUS blankets. Best you will
be transported to our lab and our best show flamdly tournent.

Speaker 26 (02:38:41):
Then well, at this point I'll try anything. Okay, bring
out the asbestos blanket. Good afternoon, folks. Cal mackenzie here
with Channel twenty seven is roping eye on the news.
I'm standing outside of the city's Institute of Unexplained Phenomenon

(02:39:02):
where CJ. Carlson, Channel twenty seven's even tippered weather man
is being quarantined for close observations.

Speaker 44 (02:39:10):
So far, the only information I've been.

Speaker 26 (02:39:12):
Able to obtain is that our chipper meteorologist is suffering
from a babbling disorder that is causing his body temperature
to rise at an alarming rate. Yips. The busy brains
at the lab are tight lift about their research at
this point, but I can tell you I see a
lot of ben dressed in clean.

Speaker 44 (02:39:31):
Retardant suits walking around.

Speaker 26 (02:39:33):
See Jo, buddy, find yourself a shade tree powl the
forecast for our cyclone. Spotting an ego hot and getting horder.
You can bet your firstborn. This roving eye guy will
continue to spy on this sizzling situation, but for right
now we can only speculate on the bubbling activity simmering

(02:39:56):
within these institute walls.

Speaker 83 (02:40:02):
Sure you're keeping poor Failure in an icebox, mystery, heighcliff.

Speaker 80 (02:40:06):
Actually, it's a large refrigeration unit used to neutralize voltal materials.

Speaker 2 (02:40:11):
Were shake.

Speaker 42 (02:40:12):
You don't want a neutralized man, do you, well?

Speaker 80 (02:40:15):
Actually, the idea is to control his temperature progression. You see,
the unit can reach a sub zero level of minus
two thousand degrees cynthigrae o.

Speaker 83 (02:40:24):
Whoa nearly?

Speaker 42 (02:40:25):
Well about that?

Speaker 16 (02:40:26):
Cool him off from well? That is the intention of
here we are.

Speaker 4 (02:40:29):
Well, we're standing in front of it right.

Speaker 26 (02:40:31):
Now, eh Jion dear, Oh no, fears harder than a
ben frankrant Stoke stuff full of.

Speaker 16 (02:40:38):
Quarn of wood.

Speaker 80 (02:40:39):
Well, right now it's a two hundred degrees fahrenheit and
it's rising steadily.

Speaker 4 (02:40:43):
I'm afraid, Bernie.

Speaker 80 (02:40:45):
We can communicate with him through this transmitter, but just
a few words. We'd better let him rest ranch. Mister Carlinson,
you have a visitor.

Speaker 83 (02:40:53):
Eh he handed there, young felure, chin up now, don't
lose your cool eh d burning and should shity?

Speaker 26 (02:41:02):
Well, thanks for the con word, Paul Kendle say, anybody
want to bake a cake.

Speaker 30 (02:41:08):
In here?

Speaker 2 (02:41:09):
Not faking dinner?

Speaker 83 (02:41:11):
Where the way?

Speaker 11 (02:41:12):
She's getty?

Speaker 16 (02:41:13):
Since you Hubert, that's good, Cliff, Yes, what is it?

Speaker 11 (02:41:17):
I'm so sorry, sir, Professor Snid is here. I tried
to cost acute him.

Speaker 42 (02:41:22):
When he got in for cand so, sir hind Cliff.

Speaker 26 (02:41:25):
Yes, as a certified member of the scientific community, I
demand to know the details of your research on the
cars some projects.

Speaker 80 (02:41:32):
Knity, you are stupidity incarnate, but I'll share my faintings
with you today you reveal the location of your secret
laboratory where you conduct your unethical experiments.

Speaker 42 (02:41:43):
Oh, you're insane.

Speaker 26 (02:41:44):
I don't know what you're talking about, and at least
I'm not the one keeping a man in a meat freezer.
Wait till the tabloids get a load of that.

Speaker 80 (02:41:51):
Stop soiling my air with your present snitty, go play
with your mutations.

Speaker 42 (02:41:57):
Don't be a blubbering full high Cliff. This man is
beyond hell.

Speaker 26 (02:42:01):
You're staring right into the face of a modern miracle,
perhaps the greatest scientific find since the Dawn of time.

Speaker 2 (02:42:07):
CJ.

Speaker 42 (02:42:08):
Colson is becoming a source of pure energy.

Speaker 80 (02:42:10):
He is a human being, which is more than I
can say for present company.

Speaker 26 (02:42:15):
Perhaps he's a gift from a higher power, Hide Cliff,
have you considered that the answer to the world's energy needs?

Speaker 42 (02:42:21):
Imagine the possibility, Say, guys.

Speaker 82 (02:42:24):
I can hear what you're saying in there, and if
I have a choice in this manner, I'd rather go
back to begin A weather man with a dog in
the mortgage.

Speaker 80 (02:42:32):
Ah, Security, let's escorts mister Snitty out of the building.

Speaker 26 (02:42:36):
Please unhand me, un Neanderthals. Oh, you haven't heard the last.

Speaker 42 (02:42:41):
Of me, Hide Cliff, What are you going to do
when he gets too.

Speaker 33 (02:42:45):
Hot to contain?

Speaker 42 (02:42:46):
I have a way to harness the heat that he's radiating.

Speaker 16 (02:42:50):
You can't You can't.

Speaker 2 (02:42:51):
Ignore me forever, Hide Cliff.

Speaker 81 (02:42:56):
Late that night, the persistent Snit crypt into the laboratory
with two assistants and chlora form the security god.

Speaker 2 (02:43:09):
Dressed in heat resistant suits.

Speaker 81 (02:43:12):
They kidnapped mister Carlson, who was burning with white hot intensity,
and transferred.

Speaker 16 (02:43:20):
Him into their own heavily insulated bad.

Speaker 42 (02:43:25):
H Cliff is such a fool.

Speaker 26 (02:43:27):
He would actually sacrifice the greatest scientific find in this
century for the life of a workless human being.

Speaker 10 (02:43:33):
But now we haven't.

Speaker 85 (02:43:35):
Yeah, well we must hurry snitty, Okay, the man's temperature
is rising quickly. The maximum heat this band can hold
is two thousand degrees, and he will surpass that suit.

Speaker 42 (02:43:49):
Yes, only a few minutes ago. We're almost the lab.

Speaker 44 (02:43:53):
It just so, and then we will pave the road
to great fortune.

Speaker 42 (02:44:00):
Oh what is this?

Speaker 71 (02:44:03):
Oh?

Speaker 26 (02:44:03):
No, police, and look hide Cliff is with them. They
must have taken us down using a thermal detector. Well
I'm not giving in without a fight. Those idiots they're
using weapons. They're trying to blow out the tires. Never hide, Cliff.

(02:44:36):
If I can't have this, then no one will take it.

Speaker 83 (02:44:39):
Do you hear?

Speaker 23 (02:44:40):
No one?

Speaker 4 (02:45:05):
You men?

Speaker 86 (02:45:06):
Stay here that point you headed full. He's turned the
van over.

Speaker 16 (02:45:11):
I'll kill him if he's not dead already.

Speaker 42 (02:45:14):
It's nity.

Speaker 16 (02:45:15):
Are you conscious, you idiots?

Speaker 19 (02:45:17):
Oh?

Speaker 42 (02:45:18):
My arm, I'll leave me be hih, Cliff, can't you
tell that I am injured?

Speaker 16 (02:45:23):
That is nothing compared to what I'm going to do
to you. If mister Carlson is injured, this is kidnapping.

Speaker 6 (02:45:29):
You will go to prison for this.

Speaker 19 (02:45:31):
Here where where is Carlson?

Speaker 3 (02:45:34):
Huh the back door of the van is open.

Speaker 19 (02:45:37):
He must have fallen oute.

Speaker 24 (02:45:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 42 (02:45:40):
Look look by the road, there's a hole in the ground.
Smoke is rising from it.

Speaker 16 (02:45:46):
It's Carlson. He's funding a hole in the earth.

Speaker 40 (02:45:50):
Yes, how hot does it become?

Speaker 71 (02:45:52):
Four thousand degrees?

Speaker 16 (02:45:54):
Possibly even more?

Speaker 29 (02:45:56):
Oh?

Speaker 42 (02:45:56):
You pretigious food. He thought you could contain him in
a freeze.

Speaker 16 (02:46:00):
And you we're going to use him for financial game.

Speaker 3 (02:46:04):
O pipe down, both of you.

Speaker 19 (02:46:08):
None of that matters now.

Speaker 64 (02:46:10):
Eh, He's burning a hole in the earth. These a
crevas is growing as we speak. What can possibly stop
him now? Because this is no longer a matter of
one man's life. Now the whole world is at stake.

Speaker 26 (02:46:29):
He must be stopped for the sake of the human race,
for the sake of the planet Earth. But how oh,
good evening, folks, or should I say good bye? Cal
McKinnie Humor Channel twenty seven News standing next to a
large crevice in the earth, an ever deepening hole that

(02:46:52):
is causing widespread panic throughout the city as earthquakes, tidal
waves that vassive, flooding, wreck destroy.

Speaker 11 (02:47:00):
To havoc upon the area. The source of.

Speaker 4 (02:47:03):
All this chaos.

Speaker 19 (02:47:05):
CJ.

Speaker 26 (02:47:05):
Carlson the human fireball, a man that scientists say has
surpassed the heat of the sun. Woaho, CJ. We knew
you wanted to be a star, but this is ridiculous.
As Carlson reaches the Earth's core, the forecast is the
total annihilation of mankind, worldwide destructions, volcanic corruptions.

Speaker 16 (02:47:30):
The continent will fall into the.

Speaker 11 (02:47:32):
Sea, the polar ice.

Speaker 87 (02:47:34):
Cap will fill, the Earth will.

Speaker 26 (02:47:36):
Break from its axis and goes spinning into the Sun.
And we have a weather man to blame for all this. Well,
there's parody in there somewhere, folks, but I'm too streaming
with terror to.

Speaker 87 (02:47:49):
Find it until we need in the afterlife. This is
KYL McGinty saying.

Speaker 60 (02:48:14):
Burning into the earth, Burn, Burn into the earth, Burning
into the earth, deeper and deeper, Burning into the ground,
Burning deeper and deeper into the earth, into the.

Speaker 26 (02:48:28):
Ground, Burning into the ground.

Speaker 16 (02:48:31):
Hum burning, burning into the earth, burning, Lieutenant.

Speaker 88 (02:48:36):
Cause, Lieutenant calls awaken, Lieutenant cause?

Speaker 23 (02:48:40):
What what?

Speaker 11 (02:48:43):
Who said?

Speaker 30 (02:48:43):
That you have succeeded in your mission?

Speaker 88 (02:48:45):
Intendant casts you have achieved total solar penetration.

Speaker 26 (02:48:49):
Congratulations, what I've achieved total solar penetration.

Speaker 10 (02:48:55):
Where am I c this is earth based?

Speaker 4 (02:48:59):
Try down?

Speaker 23 (02:49:00):
Can't you respond, Lieutenant Carlson?

Speaker 44 (02:49:04):
Yeah, yeah, I hear you.

Speaker 4 (02:49:07):
Hunt dude.

Speaker 89 (02:49:08):
You may looked at it, honey Field.

Speaker 26 (02:49:11):
I feel a little flustered, I guess, and very confused.
Uh refresh my memory, please? What am I doing here?

Speaker 2 (02:49:20):
What did he say?

Speaker 10 (02:49:22):
Hey?

Speaker 87 (02:49:23):
C J Old puddy, don't tell me you slip through
the greatest portal achievement in scientific history.

Speaker 26 (02:49:28):
Uh yeah, yeah, I'm afraid to say I did just that.

Speaker 6 (02:49:32):
I think.

Speaker 3 (02:49:33):
Look you are, Lieutenant Corlison.

Speaker 7 (02:49:36):
You I bought a highly specialized alpha rocket.

Speaker 2 (02:49:39):
You're on a government controlled mission to enter the Sun
and pass.

Speaker 14 (02:49:44):
Through the on the side unhomed.

Speaker 26 (02:49:46):
And you have done it, mad, I passed through the sun.
Oh god, yes, a solar penetration project, of course.

Speaker 87 (02:49:59):
Hey, I think the oh boy, the same day right now.

Speaker 26 (02:50:04):
I'm I must have blacked out halfway through the penetration.
I had a dream, guys, I was burning, you know,
not incinerating, but burning, giving off this incredible heat.

Speaker 8 (02:50:16):
But it's not surprising you blacked out.

Speaker 16 (02:50:19):
That ship is heavily insulated, but still the heat must.

Speaker 26 (02:50:22):
Have been Betty vet vetty and tis Yeah, yes, no,
wonder I dreamed I was burning. You were in my dream,
Commander Hyde. Cliff, you too, Kyle.

Speaker 87 (02:50:33):
He was dwarfty and two do there too, old buddy.

Speaker 44 (02:50:36):
Okay, okay, look fellas, this has been a blast. But
I want my mommy earth. Can I come home now?

Speaker 23 (02:50:44):
Indeed?

Speaker 14 (02:50:44):
You candler to it.

Speaker 80 (02:50:45):
Yeah, let us check your vital signs first.

Speaker 82 (02:50:48):
Okay, blood pressure norma yes, hotreach fine, right.

Speaker 4 (02:50:54):
Buddy, tip of chub. Oh no, what.

Speaker 3 (02:50:59):
No, this cannot be right?

Speaker 4 (02:51:01):
Whoa?

Speaker 2 (02:51:02):
What is it?

Speaker 44 (02:51:03):
Commander?

Speaker 18 (02:51:03):
What is it?

Speaker 44 (02:51:04):
What about my body temperature?

Speaker 3 (02:51:06):
I do not understand it.

Speaker 14 (02:51:08):
There must be some kind of malfunction in the afflictment.
What is it?

Speaker 44 (02:51:12):
Commander?

Speaker 87 (02:51:13):
Hey, hey, get this, old buddy says here. Your body
temperature is two hundred and thirty degrees.

Speaker 26 (02:51:19):
It rising two and thirty Oh my god, computer, computer
confirm what is my body temperature?

Speaker 80 (02:51:28):
Body temperature two thirty two and rising?

Speaker 26 (02:51:30):
Oh go, dear god, it's happening. Passing through the sun
must have changed my molecular composition.

Speaker 16 (02:51:37):
The dream.

Speaker 14 (02:51:38):
It's coming true.

Speaker 17 (02:51:40):
You must return to art at once.

Speaker 20 (02:51:42):
CJ.

Speaker 26 (02:51:42):
We must continue negative, commander, you can't quarantine me, and
believe me, you don't want me down there. Computer set
the coordinates for solar repenetration.

Speaker 39 (02:51:55):
Now solar repenetration will be cheat and sixty seconds.

Speaker 4 (02:52:01):
What in heavens are you doing the cars?

Speaker 44 (02:52:04):
I'm going back into the sun, Commander, I belong.

Speaker 2 (02:52:07):
There, negative Lieutenant, the ship wanted to take out of
the past through the sun.

Speaker 4 (02:52:12):
You're be incinerated.

Speaker 68 (02:52:13):
Yes, you would not be.

Speaker 18 (02:52:15):
Able to teach the other side.

Speaker 26 (02:52:17):
I realized that, Commander. Trust me, I'm going to feel
right at home where I'm going.

Speaker 42 (02:52:23):
Solar penetrition in team minus fifteen seconds.

Speaker 26 (02:52:26):
Hey, get a hold of yourself.

Speaker 4 (02:52:27):
No, buddy won't take care of you.

Speaker 2 (02:52:29):
Come on home.

Speaker 44 (02:52:30):
It's no use.

Speaker 26 (02:52:31):
Fellas my mother used to say, if you can't stand
the heat, get out of the kitchen. Well, I can
stand the heat, and I'm going into the biggest kitchen
of them all, and I'm going to cook.

Speaker 44 (02:52:46):
Oh boy, am I going to cook?

Speaker 46 (02:52:48):
So the penetration of the honest in seconds.

Speaker 44 (02:52:51):
Start cooking.

Speaker 6 (02:53:34):
Now.

Speaker 81 (02:53:37):
And that was a scorching tale, was it not. Yes,
a pity about poor mister Carlson. Why when I hear
about someone in that position, it just burns me up. Yes, yes,

(02:53:58):
but still he should have known better than to travel
so close to the sun without a reliable sun block lotion.
Those wretched UV rays can cause quite a bird And personally,
I never venture from the Morgue in the daylight hours, and.

Speaker 63 (02:54:19):
That is how I maintain this great complexion.

Speaker 10 (02:54:23):
So well, now it is time for me to bid
you ado.

Speaker 81 (02:54:31):
I am going to call that air conditioner repairman once more.
I'll tell him if he's not here in thirty minutes,
then I'll be forced to make a personal appearance and
I'll be bringing some friends.

Speaker 16 (02:54:49):
Yes, And as for you, my friend, do return.

Speaker 26 (02:54:55):
For another story?

Speaker 10 (02:54:56):
Want you until ex time?

Speaker 11 (02:55:02):
Pleasant dream.

Speaker 9 (02:55:26):
M hm.

Speaker 80 (02:55:28):
You have just heard chet Cheddars Tales from the Morgue
today's installment. If you can't stand the heat. The names
and characters portrayed in this production are fictitious. Any similarities
with actual people living or dead is purely coincidental.

Speaker 6 (02:55:53):
A creator.

Speaker 90 (02:56:00):
The sunrise and sunset bomis and fulfillment, birth and.

Speaker 10 (02:56:24):
The whole drama of life is written in the sounds
of time.

Speaker 4 (02:56:33):
We present a new series of radio programs dot Clock.

Speaker 55 (02:56:56):
It's nice to have friends, and I can count quite
a few my own. Most people consider me to be
a very good fellow to know. Well, if you pardon
a bit of boasting in my cart, they find that
their time is enjoyable. In the minutes and hours of
their lives are valuable things. Indeed, to these people working
towards an end for themselves and their families, time provides

(02:57:18):
them with the opportunity to relax, to.

Speaker 10 (02:57:20):
Do a job, and to build for the future.

Speaker 55 (02:57:23):
Yes, I caught myself lucky to have so many friends,
but I also have some enemies. Who are my enemies.
I'll tell you who they are. They're the inmates of
prisons throughout the world. They're the misfits and socially outcast.
Many of them can be reclaimed. Many of them serve
out their terms, pay their debt society, and later begin

(02:57:45):
anew But there are a few, a very few, who
will never change. These are the hardened types, the killers
to whom human life is cheap. These are the ones
who watch my hands as they slowly turn year after year,
who watched my face, knowing that for them time has
no rewards. These are the ones my friends, who hate

(02:58:09):
me and who despires the world. Wait, you got the rugs,
where's yours?

Speaker 10 (02:58:18):
Stick it? Bund me a shut quick. Douke slipp into
me about an hour ago, were gone into the eye.

Speaker 2 (02:58:24):
The Dook's all right, he comes alone. He gave me
to dopen a hashouse. We go east to the river
and we cut across to the bay. We hide out
on the beach and Joe pick us up there on
the fast mountain.

Speaker 10 (02:58:35):
I got it when we make the right now now, yeah, well,
I was waiting for it to get my fingers on
the rod, but I figured that we.

Speaker 2 (02:58:45):
Would on the show, smiling just like I always run. Ah, sure, sure, Red,
we know every thing's work done.

Speaker 10 (02:58:52):
We can't lose, and we can't wait. We start the
panic as they start taking us back inside our short
circuit the lights by firing in the switchbox. We pick
up the god and march right, look smarty, this is it.
I don't want to be grabbed scene. We need to
get out of here on our feet or we get

(02:59:12):
carried out in a box on a stand. Yeah, and
I'll tell anybody who stands in our way. Okay. At
the Ducal he comes to God. All right, man, times
are I have to file back to yourself? Why mar

(02:59:36):
Ha said Johns Tar.

Speaker 11 (02:59:40):
That way you were.

Speaker 23 (02:59:46):
That way?

Speaker 3 (02:59:46):
You are you want to live.

Speaker 10 (02:59:48):
Screw, Why don't God get the thought of you know
other way in the dark? Got mo went fast?

Speaker 3 (02:59:52):
Right?

Speaker 10 (02:59:52):
Oh yeah, get al Smiley. I'm here, rid Duke right
behind your man. You did a nice job. Screw. You'll
let me go and I'll want you. You're free. There's
the car right, don't left it like you said. Come on,

(03:00:18):
wait a minute, where you're going? Screw? Hi, Why I
thought you were taking me with you. You ain't got
no room, you can't take it, and we can't leave
you behind. Huh huh no, no, no, Now, let's get
out of here fast by the time you got Smiley

(03:00:52):
ten five. Yeah, he's late.

Speaker 2 (03:00:55):
I tell you ain't common red. We're gonna forgot there
under the water. He couldn't find this beach and be tried.

Speaker 10 (03:01:01):
Do we come this farg and lows out? Don't irritate yourself,
my boy, Joe's a man to be trusted. He'll be here. Yeah,
when when the fog lives tomorrow night?

Speaker 91 (03:01:09):
Perhaps remember what he told us where to keep the
same on the voo every night at this time until
he shows.

Speaker 10 (03:01:14):
Up to the boy. And while we're waiting, what do
we do stand here on the beach until we're spotted.
I must admit we didn't allow for that contingency.

Speaker 20 (03:01:22):
They wait.

Speaker 10 (03:01:22):
Look at what on the other side of the beach
and that cove that's a house. I mean, when I
can see there you are, we can help ourselves to shelter.

Speaker 19 (03:01:31):
Us all to speak.

Speaker 10 (03:01:32):
How do we know who's in there?

Speaker 19 (03:01:33):
Ah?

Speaker 10 (03:01:34):
What difference does it make?

Speaker 11 (03:01:35):
We take over?

Speaker 10 (03:01:36):
That's all?

Speaker 4 (03:01:37):
Yeah?

Speaker 10 (03:01:37):
Take cover? Okay, come on, let's go.

Speaker 92 (03:01:51):
These are the facts that we have learned them up
to now. One of the most staring jail brakes of
all time. The prisoner has escaped through here noves, brutally
killing a card.

Speaker 18 (03:02:01):
As they left.

Speaker 92 (03:02:02):
It is uncertain as to what direction they took, but
all state police have been alted.

Speaker 10 (03:02:07):
Hello Anne, finished work?

Speaker 29 (03:02:09):
Dad?

Speaker 11 (03:02:10):
Ah?

Speaker 52 (03:02:10):
Yes, I was just getting some more news about the
amazing jail breaks that happened this afternoon.

Speaker 10 (03:02:15):
Now what did I do with my glasses on the table?

Speaker 4 (03:02:17):
Dad?

Speaker 19 (03:02:18):
Oh?

Speaker 52 (03:02:18):
Yes, it was simply fantastic. It's forced to God to
lead them right out of the prison and then they
killed him.

Speaker 8 (03:02:26):
Oh hoo, did darling?

Speaker 39 (03:02:28):
Don't you ever listen to anything I say?

Speaker 10 (03:02:30):
I'm sorry, my dear, what are you saying about a prison.

Speaker 8 (03:02:34):
Never mind, I can.

Speaker 52 (03:02:35):
Never get you to listen unless I talk about bugs
and test tubes.

Speaker 2 (03:02:39):
Well, I have quite a day today in the lab. Really,
I've developed a new medium for my cultures. It ought
approve extremely satisfactory, you.

Speaker 71 (03:02:49):
Know, Darling.

Speaker 52 (03:02:50):
I'm glad we bought this old house here on the beach,
are you. Oh, it's so pleasant for you, and you're
so happy here.

Speaker 10 (03:02:58):
Yes, I'm very happy.

Speaker 2 (03:03:00):
It's nice to have a laboratory right inside the house
and to be free of all outside disturbances.

Speaker 10 (03:03:07):
But what about you? Are you happy here?

Speaker 8 (03:03:10):
Of course I am.

Speaker 24 (03:03:12):
You know.

Speaker 2 (03:03:12):
Perhaps it was selfish of me to bring you all
the way out here to this deserted spot. You're young,
and you want excitement and the company.

Speaker 52 (03:03:20):
Oh I get plenty of company when I go into
town twice a week.

Speaker 31 (03:03:24):
Less for excitement.

Speaker 35 (03:03:26):
I'd much rather help you win the next Nobel prize.

Speaker 2 (03:03:29):
Nobel prizes aren't just given away. I ain't got a
lot of work ahead of me.

Speaker 8 (03:03:34):
One day, Dad, you're going to be a famous man,
am I?

Speaker 52 (03:03:38):
One day When.

Speaker 33 (03:03:39):
People mention the name of doctor William Carter Hill.

Speaker 10 (03:03:44):
Now, who on earth can that be? I don't know
who might be? Someone looking for directions.

Speaker 33 (03:03:49):
I'll see who it is.

Speaker 10 (03:03:53):
Yes, dead inside dad? Well, what's going on here? Smiley?
Do you look through that door?

Speaker 8 (03:04:02):
Okay?

Speaker 88 (03:04:04):
Is this a whole?

Speaker 10 (03:04:05):
Not exactly, young lady. If you like an explanation that
a dog? Who else is in the stump outside of
you too?

Speaker 8 (03:04:10):
No one?

Speaker 10 (03:04:11):
You sure? Well, I'm sure I ad a joints empty?

Speaker 3 (03:04:14):
You're red?

Speaker 10 (03:04:14):
That's good. Take care of the phone, Yead.

Speaker 33 (03:04:19):
He's trying to fall from the wall.

Speaker 10 (03:04:21):
Well, that's the smartest thing to do under the circumstances.

Speaker 59 (03:04:24):
Wait, I know who they are.

Speaker 33 (03:04:26):
They the free escaped convicts. I remember the.

Speaker 8 (03:04:29):
Description on the radio by baby.

Speaker 2 (03:04:31):
Everything's all right, honey, Now just keep your hit. Permit
me to introduce myself and my colleagues. My name is Bowen,
Charles Bowen, but I'm more widely known as the Duke.
This gentleman on my left is Red Fulton. You may
have heard of him. He's been serving a life term
for murder.

Speaker 10 (03:04:47):
Talk too much, Doug Smiley. The gentleman on his right
is another genius at homicide.

Speaker 11 (03:04:51):
How many do you have your credit? Smiley?

Speaker 23 (03:04:54):
For?

Speaker 10 (03:04:55):
Where he's got? My baby? He got eight?

Speaker 4 (03:04:57):
Candy? Gare are you me?

Speaker 10 (03:05:00):
You got anything to eat in.

Speaker 33 (03:05:01):
The dump there there's a little cold meat in the
ice box.

Speaker 10 (03:05:05):
Get it out? What I said, get it out?

Speaker 6 (03:05:08):
Hey?

Speaker 3 (03:05:09):
What goes?

Speaker 10 (03:05:09):
But you can't?

Speaker 16 (03:05:10):
Y hear?

Speaker 10 (03:05:11):
Go on, man, prepare some sandwiches for our guests.

Speaker 11 (03:05:13):
So lowered, the pleasure is all nine after you, ladies.

Speaker 2 (03:05:18):
But your name mister Carter, doctor Carter, doctor of medicine,
retired to.

Speaker 10 (03:05:24):
Name your daughter. Yes, all right, sit down, thank you, Look, Doc,
let me get something straight in your head before we
go any further. My pals and I wanted and wanted bad.
This is only a stop off as far as we know,
and would be getting out of here tomorrow night. I
see I. Just so you'll remember, we got a wrap

(03:05:44):
o rascals. That means the chair if we're caught, so
we ain't going to be bashful about that. And a
couple more to the list we already have. You mean
you'll kill us in cold blood if it becomes necessary.
You'll catch on fast, Doc, if you'd take it easy,
don't try any gags.

Speaker 2 (03:06:01):
Maybe we'll walk out here like we came in quiet.
If not, you and your daughter better figure to get
yourself measured for a couple of kimonas it wouldn't want
I think I understand.

Speaker 10 (03:06:12):
Make sure you're the duck on a room you got
from the shack.

Speaker 2 (03:06:17):
Five Well, I only cannot for read with the last one.
Duck downstairs and in the cellar, I use it as
a laboratory.

Speaker 10 (03:06:26):
Let's cut down and look. I assure you there's nothing
down there, but we'll look anyway.

Speaker 2 (03:06:30):
Go one move, Hey, it's an open and the floor.
This trap door leads to the cellar. There are stairs
going down. Smiling you first, the duck next, I'm last.

Speaker 10 (03:06:48):
I assure you there's nothing down here I would interest you.

Speaker 2 (03:06:51):
Then you've got nothing to worry about by showing it
to Please be careful. I have several valuable specimens and
the test tubes that are important to when you reach
and the light switch.

Speaker 10 (03:07:01):
Of course they're read. Get a load of this place. Yeah,
what's all the glass were for duck?

Speaker 2 (03:07:08):
Those are flasks and test dues. I'm a bacteriologist. What
I work with infectious diseases. I try to find vaccines
that will prevent or cure them to pay off in satisfaction.

Speaker 10 (03:07:23):
Yes, nuts, you're read.

Speaker 3 (03:07:28):
Look at this.

Speaker 2 (03:07:29):
You get a rabbit in me. That's not a rabbit.
It's a guinea pig. What's the idea I use them
for experiments. It looks like he eats good. Look at
that he is read.

Speaker 10 (03:07:39):
Yeah, he certainly is flaty what are you doing? Don't
hurt him?

Speaker 14 (03:07:44):
I please it.

Speaker 10 (03:07:45):
I want to try a little experiment on my arm.
I want to see if he can breathe when those
squeezes neck. You're stranger, that's all good fire.

Speaker 2 (03:07:57):
Why you you?

Speaker 10 (03:07:59):
You killed him? You've strangled him to death? Sure, just
so you remember, duck, there make no difference between his
neck and the ocean. Tides can be depended on to

(03:08:26):
rise and fall according to a fixed schedule of time.

Speaker 55 (03:08:30):
But mist and fog, the soupy fog, It builds in
from the high seas and hovers over the beaches like
a curtain of oil that can never be relied upon
the leave and even their threats of three armed killers
have no effect upon its arrival or departure.

Speaker 10 (03:08:44):
What's the matter with that fog? How many nights were
going to hang up this hole? Ah, you won't be
around the night bread. I just took a look at
the beach, wet than yesterday.

Speaker 91 (03:08:53):
As Mark Twain once said, everyone talks about the weather,
but no one seems to be able to do anything
about it.

Speaker 2 (03:09:00):
Up Dog, the ducks downstairs playing with his bugs, and
the dame and the kitchen. Wait, what happens when we leave?

Speaker 10 (03:09:11):
What do you mean? What happens?

Speaker 2 (03:09:13):
Joe's gonna pull us off that beach and a motorboat.
He takes us to a tank of twelve miles out
and we head for South America.

Speaker 10 (03:09:20):
So what what smart? He is trying to tell you
is that the plan is perfect provided no one else
is aware of it. That's what I mean.

Speaker 91 (03:09:27):
If we happen to leave anyone behind who can notify
the coastguard, that tanker won't get very far.

Speaker 10 (03:09:34):
We ain't leaving nobody behind who can talk. Wito, what
are you doing in here?

Speaker 33 (03:09:43):
I wanted to go into the laboratory. My father hasn't
had his dinner yet. I'm bringing it down to him.

Speaker 10 (03:09:49):
He is sure a nice the old man.

Speaker 38 (03:09:51):
Baby.

Speaker 10 (03:09:52):
If I like to be nice to anybody.

Speaker 8 (03:09:53):
Else, take your hands off me, take an easy go down.

Speaker 10 (03:09:57):
Them steps, baby, Then finsy user took you to the US.
Do you think the girl heard what we said about
getting rid of them? I don't know if you did
this so what you ain't gonna do either of them
any good? Wait dinner. That's sweet of you, my dear dad.

Speaker 35 (03:10:17):
I want to tell you something.

Speaker 39 (03:10:20):
I just heard them talking upstairs.

Speaker 52 (03:10:22):
They're gonna chell us before they leave, but they're afraid
we know too much about that.

Speaker 73 (03:10:27):
Bro.

Speaker 11 (03:10:27):
It's gone on down there.

Speaker 33 (03:10:29):
Nothing.

Speaker 11 (03:10:31):
If you're taking a long time to park that hash.

Speaker 10 (03:10:35):
Coming down, don't be noticing. What are you cooking up?
Oh we've we've just been talking. Yeah, you spend too
much time down there, dock.

Speaker 4 (03:10:45):
I don't like it.

Speaker 14 (03:10:46):
I have work to do.

Speaker 11 (03:10:47):
That's so.

Speaker 33 (03:10:49):
Oh, let's talking almost everything?

Speaker 10 (03:10:59):
Sure, he got nothing, no work with now, So you
got no work to do, no reason to be down here.
You shouldn't have done that. No, you'll regret it. Well,
you're getting too smart, duck. Next time you'll have a
mouthful of teeth. He read you've got some of that
stuff on your clothes. Oh what stuff? That junker was

(03:11:21):
in them tubes. Someone stood on me too, Kire. I'm
you a brusher.

Speaker 4 (03:11:25):
That won't do you any good.

Speaker 2 (03:11:27):
What the basilla in those tubes were among the most
dangerous known to man, and they strike very quickly.

Speaker 10 (03:11:33):
But what's he talking about?

Speaker 14 (03:11:34):
I don't now have you ever heard of bubonic plague?

Speaker 10 (03:11:38):
Studies? Not them fancy words speak English. I've been working
on bubonic plague for years. It's one of the most
horrible diseases in creation. In a day or two, perhaps
you'll begin to know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (03:11:49):
How what are you trying to do? But the scare
into as knock. We'll see when the time arrives. Come on,
get movin.

Speaker 10 (03:11:56):
No on, You and the damestay inside the bedroom and
you don't come out see unless you're asked.

Speaker 55 (03:12:10):
Time seems to stand still for my enemies, Red, Smiley
and Duke.

Speaker 10 (03:12:15):
But let's see what happens.

Speaker 2 (03:12:19):
The fog is still as bad as ever. There's no
sign of Joe. I may be tomorrow night they dunk. Yes,
old boy, you're a smart guy. Brilliant is the word.
What's a bu bunic plaque?

Speaker 4 (03:12:33):
That is ease?

Speaker 10 (03:12:35):
Ain't bad though, is it? My dea Red?

Speaker 91 (03:12:39):
In the Middle Ages, bubonic play killed people like flies.
It's a frightful contamination.

Speaker 4 (03:12:44):
Frightful.

Speaker 10 (03:12:45):
Why do you ask?

Speaker 2 (03:12:46):
Well, yesterday we busted up the old man's class factory.
We got some stuff in her cloth too. He said
it was a bubonic plague.

Speaker 10 (03:12:57):
What are you looking at? Buanic plague? Stop looking at
me like that and talk.

Speaker 19 (03:13:04):
I don't know what to say.

Speaker 10 (03:13:05):
How can you have a disease cooked up on a
test tube? He was lying, wasn't he hi? I don't
know if he was working with a bacillia that's the
word he used. Hey, Hey, what are you moving away for?

Speaker 20 (03:13:18):
I want to say, down over here, away from you?

Speaker 10 (03:13:24):
What are you seppling about? Smiling? You've been doing that
for an hour.

Speaker 14 (03:13:27):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (03:13:29):
I got an itch in my nose, anitch? Yeah, and
my chest feels kind of funny.

Speaker 3 (03:13:36):
You mean you feel sick?

Speaker 10 (03:13:38):
Hey, wait a minute. If I didn't get no disease,
I'm right.

Speaker 11 (03:13:42):
He give away, give away nuts, your bonny player. I
ought to be dead and happy.

Speaker 17 (03:13:49):
Bonny play.

Speaker 10 (03:13:51):
Funny, get the dock in their smiley? Come inside, doc?

Speaker 4 (03:13:59):
Why?

Speaker 23 (03:14:00):
Yes?

Speaker 10 (03:14:00):
What is it now?

Speaker 6 (03:14:01):
Now?

Speaker 10 (03:14:01):
Listen and listen hard. Don't lie to me. I'll stick
your ribs with slugs.

Speaker 2 (03:14:09):
How do you know when when you.

Speaker 10 (03:14:10):
Get this eubonic plague?

Speaker 2 (03:14:12):
The symptoms are very easy to recognize. Yeah, itching knows,
heaviness in the chest, that's the beginning. I got it
the nose itches because the bacilli enter the body that way. Later,
the planes in the chest become more painful, and circulation
ceases in the extremities.

Speaker 10 (03:14:28):
There's the extremity that what does that mean? It means
your arms and legs can fall off. It's a slow death,
one of the most painful. No to civilization. Oh, take
a look at smiling See see if he got it.
I know he has.

Speaker 14 (03:14:45):
Don't say, don't dark, But I'm looking.

Speaker 10 (03:14:47):
At you now, red me.

Speaker 17 (03:14:50):
Yes.

Speaker 10 (03:14:51):
Does your nose it? No, I'm sure it does. How
does your chest feel? Is it heavy?

Speaker 31 (03:14:58):
Out to you?

Speaker 14 (03:14:59):
It don't.

Speaker 8 (03:15:00):
He may be your only.

Speaker 2 (03:15:01):
Chance, and yours too, but you can't help contracting the disease.
Those broken test tubes have made this place at deathhouse.

Speaker 10 (03:15:10):
What about you and your daughter? If we get you
get two?

Speaker 2 (03:15:13):
Oh no, no, I told you I was working on it.
I've found a vaccine for it. We've been injected. We're immune.

Speaker 10 (03:15:21):
Hey, can you give us an injection?

Speaker 16 (03:15:22):
Turne that up?

Speaker 14 (03:15:23):
Of course I can if you want.

Speaker 10 (03:15:25):
You ain't giving us nothing. I get back into that
room all right, Just as you say, look right, you've
got to be reaching this lion. He's kind of scarce
when Joe shows up and knocked the two of them
off myself. You can't scare me, not red footing. I'm tough, Sea,
I'm as hard as nails.

Speaker 20 (03:15:45):

Doc don't help us, call him and.

Speaker 11 (03:16:06):

Speaker 10 (03:16:08):

want to, but we will.

Speaker 2 (03:16:14):

Just holdsteady. It'll all be over in a moment. Hey there,
my next doc? All right, Hi there, and you if
you please, doctor, all right, and there we are. I
haven't poisoned you.

Speaker 2 (03:16:57):
If that's what you're afraid of, I suggest will sit
down now and relax to give the solution a chance.

Speaker 10 (03:17:03):
To go through your bodies.

Speaker 11 (03:17:04):
You know.

Speaker 10 (03:17:05):
I feel better, alrighty, So the pain in my chest,
it's gone. It'll be completely.

Speaker 4 (03:17:12):
Gone in just a moment.

Speaker 10 (03:17:14):
Red, Oh see that's funny.

Speaker 93 (03:17:19):
I feel high. Yeah, yeah, you ain't kidding. I cannot
keep my Wait wait a minute, Smile.

Speaker 10 (03:17:36):
He's asleep, read and that you will be with him
in just a second. Sleep. Let's see they were what
did my rod? Where's my You'd be too weak even
to lift it. Just relax and go mm hmmm ah, it's.

Speaker 8 (03:17:56):
All right there and everything's fine.

Speaker 33 (03:17:59):
Yeah, fast asleep, Yes.

Speaker 10 (03:18:03):
Morphine, my dear is a wonderful thing, don't you think. Well, Dark,
I've got to hand it to you, officer.

Speaker 2 (03:18:19):
I trust my recent guests safely behind buzz where they belong.
They're our guests now, but it's only a temporary they're
getting the chair for the murder of that guard.

Speaker 10 (03:18:30):
And what about that accomplice, the man with the boat.
He showed up just as you said he would.

Speaker 2 (03:18:35):
It will be a long time before he goes for
a boat ride again. Well that seems to conclude just
about everything. There's only one thing we can't figure out, Dark,
What's that? Red and Smiley kept saying something about bubonic plague.
They were scared stiff when they woke up in the
squad car, and the other one the duke.

Speaker 10 (03:18:56):
He kept complaining about an itchy nose and a pain
in his chest. Oh yeah, yes, you see.

Speaker 2 (03:19:01):
They smash some of my equipment and there were certain
viruses in some of the test tubes. Bubonic plague. Oh no, no,
not bubonic plague. I'm working on something else. They kept
saying you didn't cure them. They said you didn't do
them any good.

Speaker 10 (03:19:17):
I'm afraid they're right.

Speaker 4 (03:19:20):
You see.

Speaker 2 (03:19:21):
I've been working on it for a long time, Officer,
but so far I've still been unable to find a
cure for the common cold.

Speaker 55 (03:19:48):
Yes, I find I have many friends, like doctor Carter,
for instance, in his own quiet way, he makes good
use of time. And as for my enemies, well, surprisingly enough,
I know of three and particular who have lately become
my friends. They are watching the clock now with eager
concentration and hope. They're watching for a reprieve which will

(03:20:09):
never come, in which they don't deserve. I can bring
them no reprieve, my friends, for that is beyond my power.
But as my hands go round and the seconds stick
slowly off, sooner or later I will be able to
bring them justice.

Speaker 2 (03:20:25):
The clock will be heard again next week, same time,
same station. This program was written by Lawrence Clee and
starred Harp McGuire as The Clock. Also heard where Frank
Waters has read. Beryl Marshall is Anne, Ozzie Wenban as Smiley,
Leonard Bullen as Doctor Carter, together with Gordon Chater and
Gordon glen Wright. The Clock, directed by John Saul, is
a Grace Gibson Radio production. Hello, I hope I haven't.

Speaker 94 (03:20:59):
Got if you're waiting. Yes, this is the Crime Club.
I'm the librarian, Coney Island, Nocturn.

Speaker 2 (03:21:10):
Yes, we have a story for you. Come right over. Ah,
you're here good.

Speaker 94 (03:21:31):
Take the easy chair by the window. Comfortable. The manuscript
is on this shelf. Here it is Coney Island, Nocturns,
the very absorbing story of fingers that were nailed by death.
Let's look at it under the reading lamp. When Mike

(03:21:52):
Donahue brought Helen O'Malley to Coney Island for an evening
of fund, he had only the best intentions. Naturally, he
was an officer of the a detective and she was
his fiance. But three hours later, as they stood in
the middle of a crowded, noisy, Carnival Street, they were
faced with a crisis of catastrophic proportions.

Speaker 58 (03:22:13):
Mike, I'm afraid I'll never understand you. How many times
have I told you never to keep your wallet in
your hip pocket? If you were just another pollukal who
didn't know any better than well, all right, but you're
a member of the pit pocket squad.

Speaker 31 (03:22:24):
You're supposed to know.

Speaker 41 (03:22:25):
Hen's got anything to say?

Speaker 2 (03:22:27):
How much money have you got on you enough to
get us home?

Speaker 11 (03:22:29):
Helen?

Speaker 2 (03:22:29):
You're not going to tell the boys at the station now.

Speaker 58 (03:22:31):
Oh dear, I still expect to marry you some day.
I want congratulations, not sympathy.

Speaker 11 (03:22:36):
Yeah, well right, who is that?

Speaker 41 (03:22:38):
Look over there, honey, and you'll see a character.

Speaker 20 (03:22:41):
Might I never thought i'd be glad to see you?

Speaker 11 (03:22:44):
Benny good?

Speaker 20 (03:22:45):
Recognize me? Don't you let me have a paw. I've
done a sixty days stretch in a white house and
I ain't a bed tie.

Speaker 11 (03:22:52):
What are you doing down here? Benny?

Speaker 20 (03:22:54):
You thought your territory was Times Square? Got it you have?
I'm going straight, Mike. You don't say yep, got bet
up until bars? So now I'm a barker for show
up the street.

Speaker 58 (03:23:03):
Hey, it's a tomatter, Helen, O'Malley Chipmunk, do you consider
me fruit of vegetable?

Speaker 10 (03:23:09):
Huh?

Speaker 20 (03:23:10):
Oh, that's a riot, Mike? Is it prominent?

Speaker 63 (03:23:14):
Put your hands behind your head, Benny, h I'm gonna
frisk you now. Do you want to put him up?

Speaker 20 (03:23:20):
Or do I have to coach you I put him up?
Do you think nothing mayor I'm on the level now, Mike,
you're an old time pickpocket. Benny, you know where your
cups make a label stick? Once a crook, always a cruse, Mike.

Speaker 2 (03:23:33):
He wouldn't have your wallet, maybe not Helen, But this
dip can pick the whiskers off a sleeping.

Speaker 63 (03:23:37):
Cat and get away with it. Okay, Benny, Thanks? Come on, heaven,
what was she kidding about your wallet? You're blocking traffic?
Come on, you don't have to be ashamed to tell
me about it. I used to be in the business.

Speaker 41 (03:23:49):
You wouldn't be giving into us, now, would you?

Speaker 14 (03:23:52):
Look?

Speaker 20 (03:23:52):
I know every step on the island. Give me a chance.
Maybe I'll get your back to it. Why, Chipmunk, Because
I'm a good citizen, that's why.

Speaker 11 (03:23:59):
All right, Benny, let's go.

Speaker 20 (03:24:00):
Oh and what is this a bench? You're going to
take me to the wallet, won't you. I gotta find
at Frice.

Speaker 17 (03:24:04):
Mike.

Speaker 11 (03:24:05):
Suppose we do that together?

Speaker 10 (03:24:06):
Huh.

Speaker 20 (03:24:08):
I ain't put my finger on nobody. If you want
your property, then you'll wait till I nab the guy
that's got it, and then I'll bring it to you.

Speaker 41 (03:24:14):
Don't argue, Mike, be practiced.

Speaker 20 (03:24:16):
That's what I say, Sister. I'm throwing him a favorite.

Speaker 41 (03:24:18):
But how is it done? Chip Man? Cony Island is
a big place.

Speaker 20 (03:24:21):
I contact a few of the depths and I spread
the water around. That's all okay, Benny, that's going to
take time. Mike. Maybe at the beach at the end
of the boardwalk in a couple hours eleven o'clock, and
don't follow me.

Speaker 41 (03:24:33):
We won't.

Speaker 58 (03:24:34):
Mike wants his wallet and I want Mike to be happy.
We'll meet you on the beach at eleven o'clock.

Speaker 41 (03:24:58):
The boardwalking. Oh, I think we ought to adopt Thenny,
don't you It was his suggestion.

Speaker 11 (03:25:03):
Well, not exactly alone, Helen.

Speaker 41 (03:25:05):
Are you going to worry about that girl all night?

Speaker 11 (03:25:07):
Well, she might be watching her.

Speaker 58 (03:25:09):
She's fast asleep. Besides, she's a good thirty year away.
Come on my bash for Romeo.

Speaker 10 (03:25:13):
Give me a hm.

Speaker 20 (03:25:15):
It's only made Mike and he might keep you awaiting.

Speaker 41 (03:25:17):
Then he don't you ever blow your home when you
come to a crossing?

Speaker 20 (03:25:20):
Oh, Mike, Oh okay, Well I figured it didn't mean
nothing to see that, right, No moond if you got
the wallace not yet power?

Speaker 63 (03:25:26):
You said eleven o'clock and it's almost her past.

Speaker 20 (03:25:29):
Okay, But Corney Island's got a lot of depths and
it's spread out all over. You gotta be patient.

Speaker 11 (03:25:33):
How much longer?

Speaker 14 (03:25:34):
Listen?

Speaker 20 (03:25:35):
I got a couple of dozen guys working right now.
I stick around for.

Speaker 11 (03:25:37):
A little while.

Speaker 20 (03:25:38):
You make got nothing to lose for that tomato.

Speaker 11 (03:25:41):
I see a light where you're going.

Speaker 20 (03:25:42):
My boss gets worried when you don't know what I'm doing.

Speaker 41 (03:25:44):
Salon, Now, Mike, where were we?

Speaker 11 (03:25:48):
What do you mean, Helen?

Speaker 41 (03:25:49):
When we were so rudely interrupted with a report about nothing.

Speaker 11 (03:25:53):
Let's go home, Mike.

Speaker 63 (03:25:54):
Well it's a long trip, honey, and I've got to
be at the station house at eight o'clock in the morning.
But you wata certainly can send.

Speaker 2 (03:25:59):
It to me. He knows where what was that?

Speaker 11 (03:26:02):
Thunder baby? Will have to run.

Speaker 41 (03:26:04):
I hope it pause, help me, come on, I hope
it pause for forty days and forty nine.

Speaker 11 (03:26:08):
Let's go Wait a minute.

Speaker 63 (03:26:10):
You can't beat that girl sleeping there on the beach. No, no,
I'm gonna wake her up, of course. Oh, don't be unreasonable, Helen.
There's going to be a storm. How would you like
to get.

Speaker 41 (03:26:19):
Drends to wait for a storm? You can damp in
my spirits?

Speaker 9 (03:26:22):
Oh?

Speaker 41 (03:26:22):
Oh, what's the matter, it's raining real, I just got
a drop on my nose. Let's get out of here.

Speaker 63 (03:26:26):
Mind a minute, dear, Oh excuse me, lady, I think
it better, eh, miss, Miss.

Speaker 41 (03:26:34):
Why don't you just yell in her ear?

Speaker 11 (03:26:35):
I don't think it will do any good.

Speaker 41 (03:26:37):
We try it, find out I just got another drop.

Speaker 63 (03:26:39):
You just can't wake up the dead by making a
lot of noise. Huh, Mike, she is She is Helen
from head to foot.

Speaker 31 (03:27:01):
The poor kid.

Speaker 41 (03:27:03):
And to think we were sitting only thirty ft away
on the same beach.

Speaker 11 (03:27:06):
She was dead before we got here. Hello.

Speaker 41 (03:27:07):
I'll never forgive myself, Mike, the way I talked about her.
But if it hadn't been to that stone that never
broke Mike. I feel terrible.

Speaker 11 (03:27:15):
Here's something to keep you busy.

Speaker 41 (03:27:16):
Her handbag, Yeah, I look through it.

Speaker 11 (03:27:18):
She might have some identification.

Speaker 63 (03:27:20):
All right, I should get to a cor box.

Speaker 11 (03:27:22):
You know, the local police might hear about this.

Speaker 41 (03:27:25):
I'm not staying here alone.

Speaker 63 (03:27:26):
I don't know what there is about the dead discuss.

Speaker 41 (03:27:29):
Are you sure she was murdered, Mike.

Speaker 11 (03:27:31):
The skull was crushed with the sandbag.

Speaker 41 (03:27:32):
I can't believe a little thing like that could kill anybody.

Speaker 63 (03:27:35):
Well, this little thing weighs about ten pounds, honey, and
it's packed solid.

Speaker 41 (03:27:39):
Well, Mike, look you're Wallace.

Speaker 58 (03:27:44):
Well it was in her handbag, of all things, that
girl a pic pocket. It sort of shattered your faith
in people, doesn't it?

Speaker 2 (03:27:52):
So young and so pretty, it's all here, It's all here,
my money.

Speaker 8 (03:27:57):
That's good.

Speaker 11 (03:27:57):
Why aren't you glad?

Speaker 41 (03:27:58):
I'm too busy wondering about human.

Speaker 63 (03:28:00):
Postpone until we get a line on the girl. Come on,
keep looking in her handbag.

Speaker 41 (03:28:03):
Mike Darling.

Speaker 58 (03:28:04):
You may be a detective, but then I'll look that's
your job, Oh, dear pit pocket Mike.

Speaker 41 (03:28:12):
What kind of people murder?

Speaker 2 (03:28:13):
Pitpocket?

Speaker 11 (03:28:13):
All kinds?

Speaker 41 (03:28:14):
I mean, pitpockets for the lowest kind of crooks, the
bottom of the underworld. They don't work in mobs, do
they sometimes?

Speaker 63 (03:28:20):
M Maggie Blake what's that?

Speaker 11 (03:28:24):
A name on this identification card?

Speaker 41 (03:28:26):
A pickpocket with it? Doesn't make sense, Mike?

Speaker 11 (03:28:29):
If never does? Honey, until you know what it's all about.

Speaker 23 (03:28:31):
Do you no?

Speaker 11 (03:28:32):
But I'm going to find out.

Speaker 2 (03:28:33):
That's nice.

Speaker 31 (03:28:34):
Where to start?

Speaker 11 (03:28:34):
First?

Speaker 63 (03:28:35):
We had through a card box at the homicide squad.

Speaker 41 (03:28:37):
Working as long as we do it together?

Speaker 10 (03:28:39):
Do you after that?

Speaker 63 (03:28:39):
One of Josie Johnson's Palace of Joy?

Speaker 31 (03:28:42):
We're going where?

Speaker 11 (03:28:43):
Read it?

Speaker 63 (03:28:44):
It's on this business card they found in Maggie Blake's handbag.

Speaker 41 (03:28:47):
Oh well, as long as they advertise it should be
all right, shouldn't it?

Speaker 11 (03:28:51):
Hell on, what's wrong with you?

Speaker 41 (03:28:52):
You'll never know, Mike what I thought you were talking about.

Speaker 27 (03:29:11):
Oh it's you.

Speaker 31 (03:29:13):
I'm glad to see you again. Who have you been
keeping yourself?

Speaker 2 (03:29:17):
I went out for a walkie.

Speaker 31 (03:29:19):
You're a liar. Look, I said, you're a liar. What
are you gonna do about it?

Speaker 4 (03:29:27):
Well?

Speaker 2 (03:29:29):
We're doing pretty good business, Josie.

Speaker 11 (03:29:31):
So what suckers like the show we give them?

Speaker 31 (03:29:33):
I give them your only window dressing like a husband
should be. You're not even good window dressing. Put that
bottle back.

Speaker 2 (03:29:40):
I even had a drink all night, Chosren put it.

Speaker 31 (03:29:42):
Back and lock that drawer.

Speaker 2 (03:29:43):
Just one.

Speaker 31 (03:29:44):
There's the key on top of the desk. Use it
between you and me. I don't care if you drink
yourself into pink elephants, but you talk when you're drunk,
and that's.

Speaker 2 (03:29:53):
Bad for me. I don't know why I've got to
take it from you.

Speaker 31 (03:29:57):
Stop anytime you want. There's a bed at the bottom
of the ocean.

Speaker 2 (03:30:01):
Give me that key.

Speaker 14 (03:30:02):
I started this business.

Speaker 2 (03:30:03):
It was my idea to set up the show. There
was so long ago.

Speaker 31 (03:30:05):
You died a hundred times. Since. Where have you been
for the last three hours? I told you, just walking
around huh Inhaling the fresh Coney Island there.

Speaker 2 (03:30:17):
I got tired sitting around the office watching you run.

Speaker 31 (03:30:19):
She said you were going out front for a couple
of minutes to look around.

Speaker 11 (03:30:22):
So I went for a walk.

Speaker 2 (03:30:23):
What's the difference? Came back and you weren't here, So
I went out again.

Speaker 31 (03:30:28):
How's uh, Maggie Blake? What don't look so dumb? You're
out with her?

Speaker 2 (03:30:36):
Wererant you?

Speaker 23 (03:30:37):
No?

Speaker 31 (03:30:38):
Gee, this is Josie. You're talking to your wife. I've
known you for a long time.

Speaker 2 (03:30:42):
I haven't seen the girl.

Speaker 11 (03:30:43):
I tell you.

Speaker 2 (03:30:44):
You want me to lay off and I.

Speaker 3 (03:30:47):
Was she here?

Speaker 31 (03:30:48):
Are you kidding?

Speaker 4 (03:30:49):
Well?

Speaker 14 (03:30:49):
Didn't she even bring in the take?

Speaker 31 (03:30:51):
Are you calling me a cheek?

Speaker 23 (03:30:52):
No?

Speaker 2 (03:30:52):
No, wait wait, Josie, wait a minute. You know, I
don't think you're a double. But Maggie always comes in
a few times like the others, and she's pretty regularly.

Speaker 31 (03:31:00):
She was too busy tonight, Pete, you throw making a
monkey out of me. Joe, my body on the island's
talking about you and Maggie. I'm telling you for the
last time, I don't like it. I don't like people
feeling sorry for me.

Speaker 2 (03:31:14):
Why don't you give it?

Speaker 31 (03:31:15):
Because she knows too much? Tell us a joy? Jesse
Johnson talking, I got a message?

Speaker 4 (03:31:27):
What is it?

Speaker 3 (03:31:28):
Tell him?

Speaker 20 (03:31:29):
I can't find Maggy Blake. That's all.

Speaker 31 (03:31:33):
That's enough, Benny, nice goal. And Pete, when did you
decide to use Benny as a stooge?

Speaker 10 (03:31:42):
What do you mean too?

Speaker 31 (03:31:43):
What do you take me for a two year old?
You think I started believing because Benny cllls up and
says you've had him looking for Maggie. Not get out
of here, go out front and help take tickets.

Speaker 11 (03:31:56):
I'm sorry you did that.

Speaker 31 (03:31:58):
Oh one, go on, I get sick looking at it.

Speaker 2 (03:32:00):
You've been having things your own way too long, baby,
Look got you don't drop dead one of these days.

Speaker 31 (03:32:06):
You're very funny, Pete.

Speaker 2 (03:32:08):
Yeah, yeah, I'm a real comedian.

Speaker 16 (03:32:11):
But don't laugh too hard.

Speaker 11 (03:32:13):
You're liable to fall out of this world.

Speaker 63 (03:32:31):
It should be an office, you helen another door besides,
the main entrance on the streets should.

Speaker 41 (03:32:35):
Be is don't count?

Speaker 31 (03:32:38):
So this is the palace of joy.

Speaker 41 (03:32:40):
Who's crazy?

Speaker 10 (03:32:41):
Mike?

Speaker 11 (03:32:41):
The world? I've got no time to think about it now.

Speaker 41 (03:32:43):
Oh excuse me. The pickpocket squad has to solve a
murder first life can wait?

Speaker 63 (03:32:47):
I tell you Maggie Blake has something to do with
this place.

Speaker 58 (03:32:49):
Just because you found that business card in her handbag.
Maybe i'm driving without lights, darling business cards don't put say, Mike,
there's Benby.

Speaker 41 (03:32:58):
We're talking to that man by that puppets.

Speaker 63 (03:33:00):
What's funny. I was looking over there only a minute ago.
I didn't see anyone.

Speaker 41 (03:33:04):
It could be magic, you know.

Speaker 63 (03:33:05):
Ah, this must be the place he works in it
and maybe that's Josie Johnson he's talking to. Come on,
we'll ask him a few questions about Maggie Blake.

Speaker 58 (03:33:14):
Anything you say there, you're the law. But what would
come here to see a puppet show? This isn't exactly
a playground for kids.

Speaker 11 (03:33:20):
Oh, you're beginning to get ideas too.

Speaker 41 (03:33:22):
It just hit me all of a sudden.

Speaker 63 (03:33:24):
Maybe the shows they put on here are not the
kids you know.

Speaker 41 (03:33:27):
I've been around, sweetheart. What you concentrate on? Benny and
his partner they've seen us and they stopped talking.

Speaker 10 (03:33:33):
Are you Mike?

Speaker 3 (03:33:35):
I got you?

Speaker 20 (03:33:35):
And not go find out about me in the palace.
You've been asking questions.

Speaker 41 (03:33:39):
We found a card in the storm, Benny storm?

Speaker 20 (03:33:43):
What you talking about, Mike? I ain't been a storm?

Speaker 11 (03:33:45):
Who's this guy? Benny?

Speaker 20 (03:33:46):
Give me a chance to touch you?

Speaker 4 (03:33:47):

Speaker 20 (03:34:21):
The boys? I don't get a Mike. You're acting just
like a cop on the prow.

Speaker 63 (03:34:26):
You recognize all the signs, don't you get Josie Johnson?

Speaker 20 (03:34:30):
The boys ain't here?

Speaker 11 (03:34:31):

Speaker 20 (03:34:33):
Telling the truth, Mike. I came back looking for the
boys myself. Petons tried, mister done. Now, now what your mind?

Speaker 2 (03:34:38):
And I'd like to know about my niece.

Speaker 11 (03:34:40):
She's been murdered, mister Blake.

Speaker 14 (03:34:43):
Murdy.

Speaker 20 (03:34:44):
You're kidding, Mike. Not that kill little kid, That Maggie.
That's not going to get you no price?

Speaker 8 (03:34:52):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (03:34:53):
Why why should anybody kill Maggie?

Speaker 10 (03:34:57):
She never mister Donny Hill?

Speaker 11 (03:35:00):
Where is she at the Morgue by?

Speaker 57 (03:35:01):
Now?

Speaker 11 (03:35:02):
Would you like to tell me what she never did?

Speaker 4 (03:35:04):
I'm going to claim her body.

Speaker 11 (03:35:07):
I'll see you later if you're still here.

Speaker 20 (03:35:09):
Mike.

Speaker 41 (03:35:09):
You're not letting him go, are you? Why he didn't
even ask how his niece was killed?

Speaker 11 (03:35:13):
I noticed. I noticed the tears too. They were the
kind you find on a crocodile.

Speaker 41 (03:35:17):
So why didn't you hold him?

Speaker 11 (03:35:19):
Darling?

Speaker 63 (03:35:19):
A policeman doesn't hold everybody, does he?

Speaker 11 (03:35:22):
Benny?

Speaker 20 (03:35:23):
Well quick, I may, Mike, I don't know nothing abought it? Sure, okay,
so don't give me the eye like I was ready
for the wagon. I'm on your side and I'm trying
to get your while back for you, and I keep trying, Benny, Okay,
I'll go out in contact some more depths stick around.
I'll let you know what comes up.

Speaker 41 (03:35:40):
Mike, why didn't you tell him you've got the wallet?

Speaker 63 (03:35:43):
And Benny would have stuck around too, And I think
we ought to.

Speaker 41 (03:35:45):
Be alone here with all these people.

Speaker 63 (03:35:47):
They won't pay any attention to us. They're too busy
having fun. Well we're gonna get busy too.

Speaker 2 (03:35:51):
What do you mean?

Speaker 63 (03:35:52):
How did Benny and Pete get to this puppet stage
without machine magic?

Speaker 20 (03:35:57):
Maybe?

Speaker 63 (03:35:58):
But I've got a hunch we find out how, and
we'll find out why and who killed Maggie Blake Where

(03:36:22):
back again?

Speaker 31 (03:36:23):
That's the idea, sneaking in through that alley door.

Speaker 2 (03:36:26):
There's a dick out front, Josie. Yeah, he was asking
for you, Bennie, and I played dumb. We didn't tell
him you were here in the office.

Speaker 31 (03:36:36):
How was he asking for me?

Speaker 4 (03:36:37):
For him?

Speaker 18 (03:36:39):
Murder?

Speaker 2 (03:36:41):
Huh, Maggie Blake, you killed it, Josie, have.

Speaker 31 (03:36:46):
You gone crazy?

Speaker 63 (03:36:47):
Now?

Speaker 2 (03:36:48):
Wait a minute, waiting a long time, baby, You shouldn't
have done it. You're gonna have to leave tom now
we'll see about that. That was something at you put
on before getting hot, because I was up with Maggie.

Speaker 10 (03:37:00):
But you know I wasn't, didn't you, Josie. You knew
she was dead.

Speaker 2 (03:37:04):
You knew exactly where she was because you'd let to
Hello Express.

Speaker 31 (03:37:07):
I went to City editor.

Speaker 2 (03:37:08):
Thought I was sweet, but sure I was. I was
nuts about it. But you didn't have to kill her.
She was going to get married. Yeah, yeah, she found
herself a boyfriend, a good clean kid.

Speaker 14 (03:37:19):
She was going to quit the racket.

Speaker 31 (03:37:20):
She told me this afternoon, the editor, Missus, Josie Johnson,
I owned the Palace of Joy. I've just been to
all right.

Speaker 2 (03:37:28):
I wasn't going to tell you about it. I was
gonna let her get away, fir Us. I was going
to make sure she lived to get married.

Speaker 31 (03:37:33):
But hell, yeah, Josie Johnson, I've just been told that
one of my employees was murdered. Maggie Blake. Uh huh
uh h on the beach. Yeah, yeah, thanks what a
check stunt at Angel she was slugged with a sandbag, Pete.

Speaker 2 (03:37:58):
How soon you're going, Josie?

Speaker 31 (03:38:00):
Gone where?

Speaker 10 (03:38:00):
Away?

Speaker 4 (03:38:02):
And I'm waiting for the cops?

Speaker 2 (03:38:03):
Are you? I didn't kill her at tick out front?
Think she did?

Speaker 31 (03:38:06):
He asked for you and you told him I wasn't here.
You wanted him to think I've taken a power of it.

Speaker 20 (03:38:09):
Why don't you.

Speaker 2 (03:38:10):
I'll give you enough door to get out of the country.
You give me this is my show. Now I'll meet
the new boss.

Speaker 31 (03:38:15):
You don't. Yeah, I that's the new boss.

Speaker 10 (03:38:22):
Pe you red headed?

Speaker 4 (03:38:25):
What's that?

Speaker 31 (03:38:29):
Who told him about that door behind the puppet stage?

Speaker 2 (03:38:31):
I'm not waiting to find out. So long, Josie and
good burning.

Speaker 31 (03:38:34):
As long as you're alive, piece.

Speaker 2 (03:38:35):
I don't run so fast, baby, over to the wall,
hoping that door.

Speaker 31 (03:38:38):
Let's get out of here.

Speaker 2 (03:38:39):
I'm glad you built that other door of solid for
a louse. You used to have good ideas.

Speaker 31 (03:38:44):
Go around before you go into that alley.

Speaker 20 (03:38:45):
It's clear you got the keys.

Speaker 2 (03:38:47):
Come on, come on and be got him. I got them, okay,
good to me. I locked this door on the outside.

Speaker 10 (03:39:00):
Put that door off.

Speaker 63 (03:39:01):
Wonderful that to like commission. There was a man and
a woman in here. We heard the voice lot. They
didn't go out this way?

Speaker 41 (03:39:08):
He said there was something behind that puppet stage. But
why an office? What kind of a business was they
were over there?

Speaker 10 (03:39:13):
It's the only way out, Mike.

Speaker 41 (03:39:15):
Is there something in this palace of joy besides joy?

Speaker 29 (03:39:19):
Well?

Speaker 63 (03:39:20):
Flight of steps going down the cellar?

Speaker 41 (03:39:21):
Are we going down that flight?

Speaker 11 (03:39:23):
Yeah? Here's the light switch.

Speaker 23 (03:39:24):
Oh.

Speaker 41 (03:39:25):
I feel a lot safer, Mike if there were more
than two of us.

Speaker 63 (03:39:27):
Let's not think about that. Now, come on, follow me, Mike.
Stop worrying, Helen. There's nobody down here.

Speaker 8 (03:39:44):
Can you be so sure?

Speaker 10 (03:39:45):
All these boxes rose up to the ceiling.

Speaker 41 (03:39:47):
Suppose those two people are behind one of these rows.

Speaker 11 (03:39:49):
They're not waiting to see the whites of our eyes. Shawnee.

Speaker 63 (03:39:52):
If they were down here, they I'd rather go, Mike,
shanderg just like the one Maggie Blake was killed with.

Speaker 41 (03:39:59):
What difference does it make there's a puppet stage upstairs?
Why can't they keep an extra stand?

Speaker 11 (03:40:03):
Oh?

Speaker 33 (03:40:05):
Oh, I see what you mean.

Speaker 63 (03:40:06):
Thanks, you're almost as slow as I am. Sand Bags
are used to hold down the curtain. The one on
the beach had to come from here.

Speaker 41 (03:40:12):
Let there are other puppet shows at Coney Island.

Speaker 63 (03:40:14):
But only one Palace of Joy that Maggie Blake was
connected with.

Speaker 11 (03:40:18):
We met her uncle upstairs.

Speaker 41 (03:40:19):
Remember, yes, dear, Shall we go now?

Speaker 11 (03:40:21):
Yeah?

Speaker 63 (03:40:22):
Must be some way that man and woman got out.

Speaker 11 (03:40:25):
Let's turn this corner.

Speaker 41 (03:40:26):
I'm sure we won't find prosperity.

Speaker 33 (03:40:28):
Those men, all those men standing against the water.

Speaker 11 (03:40:31):
That's the matter with you, Helen. Can't you see their
only dummies?

Speaker 41 (03:40:35):
I'm not taking another step, all right, stay here with pleasure.
It's filthy, horrible looking things.

Speaker 63 (03:40:40):
Yeah, I can tell you exactly what they are, Helen.

Speaker 33 (03:40:43):
What are you sitting down like behind the pile of boxes?

Speaker 63 (03:40:45):
Well, listen, these are training dominies. The kind of old
time pickpocket is to teach newcomers. Come over here and
i'll show you the lights, the flash arm. When the
student's comsy, tell us a joy.

Speaker 11 (03:40:57):
Huh hmm. Josie Johnson's running a school for pickpockets. That
means that Benny is one of them.

Speaker 31 (03:41:03):
For yourself, Cupcake, my do you look surprised?

Speaker 11 (03:41:08):
Who are you?

Speaker 31 (03:41:09):
Jose Johnson? Now turn around, Mike and I'll take your
pretty thirty eight out of be a pretty holster. Uh huh,
just keep your hands up high.

Speaker 11 (03:41:18):
Where's Helen?

Speaker 31 (03:41:18):
The girl that was Don's resting. She collided with the
butt of my gun and it knocked her out.

Speaker 11 (03:41:24):
Why did you do it?

Speaker 31 (03:41:25):
I got jealous. You're such a handsome guy for a cop.

Speaker 11 (03:41:30):
You know all about me? Eh?

Speaker 31 (03:41:32):
Not all, Cupcake, Give me time. I've only just met you.
I'm going to look for Helen, not without my commission.

Speaker 11 (03:41:38):
Listen. She might be barely hurt.

Speaker 31 (03:41:39):
She'll recover in time for the wedding. How would you
like to.

Speaker 2 (03:41:44):
Be a hero.

Speaker 63 (03:41:45):
You make a practice of hitting women on the head, Mike.

Speaker 31 (03:41:47):
I'm trying to get you a medal. I know who
killed Maggie Blake.

Speaker 63 (03:41:51):
Yeah, I guess it was somebody else?

Speaker 10 (03:41:54):
What it was?

Speaker 31 (03:41:55):
And if you'll go quietly, I'll take your right to
him where he's in my apartment and he's dying to
meet you. Go ahead, Cupcake, turn the numb.

Speaker 11 (03:42:15):
How about the key, Josie.

Speaker 31 (03:42:16):
I never locked my door. I'm a free trader.

Speaker 63 (03:42:19):
Okay, forward, Mike.

Speaker 31 (03:42:21):
I'll be right behind you, loaded to the hilt.

Speaker 11 (03:42:24):
You're so persuasion you.

Speaker 31 (03:42:26):
Admit I got away about me?

Speaker 11 (03:42:28):
Yeah, so I see? Hmm? Is that the guy who's
dying to meet me.

Speaker 31 (03:42:33):
That's him sprawled out over that table, drunk again.

Speaker 2 (03:42:37):
Pete.

Speaker 63 (03:42:38):
Hey, Pete, say that's Maggie Blake's uncle who told.

Speaker 31 (03:42:43):
You that he did well, he'll tell you differently. That's
Pete Johnson, my husband.

Speaker 2 (03:42:48):
Wake him up, get him to sit up for a.

Speaker 11 (03:42:52):
Knife in his chest. You can't hear you, Josie.

Speaker 2 (03:42:55):
He's dead, killed himself.

Speaker 31 (03:42:57):
Yeah, he couldn't take the wrap. He must have done
it just before we came in. He still got his
fingers around the knife.

Speaker 11 (03:43:03):
Will you stop kidding me?

Speaker 2 (03:43:04):
What do you mean?

Speaker 11 (03:43:05):
Your initials are on the handle? Jayjames?

Speaker 31 (03:43:07):
So what the knife was on that table and he
took it?

Speaker 63 (03:43:10):
Josie, you ought to know what happens right after a
person dies. He's dead, so his body relaxes. If Pete
kill himself, he wouldn't be holding out of the knife.

Speaker 31 (03:43:18):
Huh.

Speaker 63 (03:43:19):
You catch on fast, don't you. Peach's fingers were wrapped
around that knife after.

Speaker 11 (03:43:23):
He was killed.

Speaker 31 (03:43:23):
You're not going to say I did it?

Speaker 23 (03:43:25):
Mike?

Speaker 63 (03:43:25):
Who else you brought me here to? Or resk Pete
for murder? But you knew he was already dead. Set
up to look like suicide.

Speaker 31 (03:43:32):
You're raving, mister.

Speaker 11 (03:43:33):
That was going to be your alibi.

Speaker 63 (03:43:35):
Pete couldn't take the rap your own words, Josie, Yeah, well.

Speaker 11 (03:43:42):
Hm, how many bullets do I get?

Speaker 31 (03:43:46):
I ought to give them all to you, both guns.

Speaker 11 (03:43:49):
That means I get a hero's funeral.

Speaker 31 (03:43:50):
Turning around and walk to that wall and get it
in the back, eh, gangster stud that wall, Mike, all right.

Speaker 11 (03:43:57):
But remember no practice shots.

Speaker 31 (03:43:59):
Is are pretty for Tom Molly death in the line
of duty.

Speaker 11 (03:44:02):
It makes great newspaper cops.

Speaker 31 (03:44:04):
Tearing your face to the wall. I just stand there
and don't move and don't look so long.

Speaker 63 (03:44:10):
CPK.

Speaker 11 (03:44:12):
Hey, what's the idea, Josie.

Speaker 10 (03:44:15):
You'll never get in New York?

Speaker 23 (03:44:16):
You know that.

Speaker 11 (03:44:18):
Well.

Speaker 63 (03:44:19):
And she told me she never locks her door. That's
all right, Helen, Everything's all right now, Mike, what hit
means the butt of a gun? Next time they stick
close to me. Josie Johnson, she locked me in her apartment,

(03:44:43):
loucky for me. There was a window facing a street.

Speaker 41 (03:44:45):
You should have heard me, yell, Josie Johnson. Mike, did you.

Speaker 11 (03:44:48):
Say she glamorous redhead? Somebody's down here. I don't know.

Speaker 63 (03:44:56):
These boxes are in the way can you get up
without scream?

Speaker 11 (03:45:00):
If you help me?

Speaker 41 (03:45:05):
I made it.

Speaker 11 (03:45:05):
Come on on your toes.

Speaker 63 (03:45:07):
No more talk because Josie she's got two guns.

Speaker 11 (03:45:10):
One of them is mine. Going someplace, Benny, look get
a chance to use it the gun?

Speaker 20 (03:45:19):
Yeah, yeah, I didn't know. I was you and the call, Mike.
I wouldn't pull a gun on yoja did.

Speaker 63 (03:45:26):
That's a lot of money you packed into that suitcase.
You expect to spend it in one lifetime. You gotta
listen to me, Mike.

Speaker 11 (03:45:31):
I don't got a pal, but I'll be glad to guy.

Speaker 20 (03:45:34):
Found out that Jersey and Pate was operating the pickpocket school.
When the kids was ready, they used to send them
out to depth tell me about the money, But the
kids used to bring in the whole take to Josie.
She'd give him a cut and put the rest of
it in that hole behind that concord.

Speaker 11 (03:45:46):
There's a box to find out about such things, Benny.

Speaker 20 (03:45:48):
I heard Jersey and pet talking, and you know exactly
where to go for the money. You gotta listen to me, Mike.
I ain't no killer.

Speaker 11 (03:45:54):
Come on, let's take a walk.

Speaker 20 (03:45:55):
Oh right, I don't. I don't want that dog. I
was just gonna take her because well you know it was.

Speaker 63 (03:46:00):
Yeah, I figured you should have made sure Pete was
dead before you left him. It's not so easy to
find the heart with a knife. Sometimes you're missed by
a fraction of an inch and you wind up in
the electric chair.

Speaker 20 (03:46:10):
Why do you give him a Mike?

Speaker 63 (03:46:12):
Pete Johnson otherwise known as Peter Blake, famous uncle.

Speaker 20 (03:46:16):
He ain't that he is now, but.

Speaker 11 (03:46:18):
A lot of people hurt his dying statement. Would you
like to know what it was?

Speaker 4 (03:46:23):
You're kidding me.

Speaker 63 (03:46:24):
Don't look around, Benny. There's no way out of this
cellar except through me.

Speaker 20 (03:46:27):
Kidding me, Betty, copy your kidding, mate.

Speaker 63 (03:46:29):
Let's go weasel. The show's over and you put on
a pretty good one.

Speaker 11 (03:46:32):
It's too bad for you. It didn't click.

Speaker 58 (03:46:49):
This is the worst part of going to County Island.
It's the ride home in the subway. Oh well, Benny's
confession sort of makes it worthwhile. Imagine that Chipmunk having
the whole thing planned from the beginning, taking your pocket
and then asking us to meet him on the beach
where he'd left Maggie Blake's dead body.

Speaker 41 (03:47:04):
What a character, and all for a few measly dollars.

Speaker 33 (03:47:07):
He even thought he'd get away with it.

Speaker 58 (03:47:09):
You'd suspect Josie and Pete Johnson of Maggie's murder, and
he'd be Mike, you didn't tell me how he got
to Pete to kill him.

Speaker 63 (03:47:15):
I guess I'll have to I Well, he followed them
to their apartment after they left the office.

Speaker 11 (03:47:21):
Yes, Then he phoned Josie and told her to help
him frame Pete. She came back to the palace looking
for me.

Speaker 41 (03:47:28):
Well the rest is history, yes, But Mike, what made
you suspect Benny?

Speaker 63 (03:47:32):
Two things, sweetheart, Josie had a chance to kill me
and didn't and Benny going for the money in the wall?

Speaker 8 (03:47:39):
Eh.

Speaker 11 (03:47:40):
Can I go to sleep now, dear?

Speaker 41 (03:47:42):
One more thing? What happened to Josie?

Speaker 11 (03:47:44):
She was picked up? Now, Darling?

Speaker 41 (03:47:47):
All right, honey, Mike, hmmm is Wallace?

Speaker 2 (03:47:52):
Where'd you get it out of your hip pocket?

Speaker 58 (03:47:55):
For a member of the pick pocket squad, you are
about the easiest pickings I've ever known.

Speaker 94 (03:48:00):
Good Night, dear, and so close is tonight's story. Coney
Island Nocturne. Stephen Coles wrote the radio script. Roger Bauer

Bill Quinn was Peter Johnson, and Joseph Julian was Benny Goold.

Speaker 4 (03:48:38):
Oh, I beg your pardon.

Speaker 94 (03:48:40):
Hello, I hope I haven't kept you waiting. Yes, this
is the Crime Club. I'm the librarian. Yes, come over
a week from tonight.

Speaker 2 (03:48:54):
Good.

Speaker 94 (03:48:55):
We have the very exciting story of a sparkle that
bloomed into murder. It's called Death Deals a diamond in
the meantime. Well, in the meantime, there's a new Crime
Club book available this week and every week the bookstores everywhere. Yes,
it's available now, fine, and we'll look for you next week.

Speaker 20 (03:49:37):
This program came from New York. This is mutual Broadcasting system.

Speaker 19 (03:49:55):
Rusty, can I believe my eyes? Is that Freud you're reading?
Or are you just using the cover from his book
to disguise a copy of Forever Amber?

Speaker 35 (03:50:02):
It's Freud?

Speaker 19 (03:50:03):
Well, well, that's excellent, Rusty. I'm gratified, no end to
see you take an active interest in psychology, to see
that your association with me has developed a lust for knowledge,
for an understanding of my methods.

Speaker 35 (03:50:14):
Uh huh, it says.

Speaker 57 (03:50:16):
In eighteen ninety four, Froyd took the decisive step of
replacing hypnotism as a means of resuscitating varied memories by
the method of free association, which is the kernel of
the psychoanalytic method.

Speaker 19 (03:50:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 35 (03:50:28):
Interesting, arresting, Yeah, yess so, Dan, But what does it mean?

Speaker 4 (03:50:34):
Oh?

Speaker 19 (03:50:34):
Well, my era, I shouldn't expect too much, Doctor Daniel
Danfield's student of crime psychology, as many times provided the
police with a solution to a baffling crime.

Speaker 2 (03:50:50):
There's an interesting case ahead for the doctor today. We'll
call it the case of the Darkened faith.

Speaker 19 (03:50:57):
Ruddy, would you mind telling me what's in the mail
for the Oh, just.

Speaker 57 (03:51:01):
The usual bunch of crackpot letters. One from some police
chief and the small down upstate about.

Speaker 35 (03:51:06):
A bricklayer who was murdered.

Speaker 19 (03:51:07):
Yes, how was he killed?

Speaker 35 (03:51:08):
His wife threw a brick at him.

Speaker 19 (03:51:10):
Just an ordinary crime of passion.

Speaker 35 (03:51:12):
And one from a woman who's threatening suicide.

Speaker 19 (03:51:14):
Ye un, does she give a reason?

Speaker 35 (03:51:16):
Yes, her husband likes everything, she likes.

Speaker 19 (03:51:19):
Monotony, boredom, teach them anything else?

Speaker 35 (03:51:21):
Yes, there's one from some ex movie actress. Nothing interesting.

Speaker 19 (03:51:26):
What does she want?

Speaker 35 (03:51:28):
She wants you to come to Hollywood?

Speaker 19 (03:51:29):
What I still give me that letter? Oh right, m
R Ashley ex movie actress?

Speaker 35 (03:51:38):
You say, ring made a couple of pictures. One of
them is being mentioned for the Academy Award.

Speaker 19 (03:51:43):
And why do you say she's an ex actress?

Speaker 35 (03:51:45):
Well, she quit pictures about six months ago, disappeared. Nobody's
heard from her.

Speaker 19 (03:51:49):
Sins we have wrestling. M next letter right here, mailed
from Zeusa, California. Where's a Zus arresting?

Speaker 35 (03:51:57):
Don't you ever listen to the radio town near jack Bennyville.

Speaker 19 (03:52:02):
Oh well, i'd I better read the letter. Okay, dear doctor.

Speaker 35 (03:52:05):
Dan, I've already read it.

Speaker 19 (03:52:07):
Lay, Dear doctor Danfield, I need your help. You'll come
to Hollywood. You will find further instructions at the general
delivery window Hollywood post Office. Don't worry about the expense.
I will pay all. I'm desperate, Honor Ashley. HM, that's
not very much to go on.

Speaker 35 (03:52:23):
I told you it wasn't very interesting.

Speaker 19 (03:52:25):
Evidently written in desperate haste too. That accounts for the brevity.

Speaker 27 (03:52:28):
Dan.

Speaker 35 (03:52:28):
We get letters like that all the time.

Speaker 19 (03:52:31):
Rusty, I'm going to Hollywood, No, Dan, you're not rusty,
I said, we're going to Hollywood.

Speaker 35 (03:52:36):
Oh oh, well, this looks like it's going to be
a very interesting king.

Speaker 19 (03:52:41):
I knew you would see it that way.

Speaker 35 (03:52:42):
Anyway, I'd have to go along woodn't I You don't
know where a Zeus is.

Speaker 19 (03:52:48):
Don't worry, I'll find it.

Speaker 8 (03:52:56):
In a moment.

Speaker 2 (03:52:57):
We'll return for the second act of danger, doctor Feld.
But first, now back to Michael Dunn for the second
act of danger, Doctor Danfield.

Speaker 57 (03:53:17):
Dan, this is the silliest thing I ever heard of. Why,
it's just like a just like a detective story.

Speaker 19 (03:53:22):
The letter you mean when we picked up at the
general delivery window.

Speaker 57 (03:53:25):
Yes, only it wasn't a letter, just an envelope continuing
the automobile road map.

Speaker 19 (03:53:30):
But that blue line restage run in by hand from
Los Angeles to Azusa and then along the road that
runs up San Gabriel Canyon.

Speaker 10 (03:53:36):
Stopping in a little place called Coal Creek.

Speaker 19 (03:53:38):
Don't you think that's a bit intriguing.

Speaker 35 (03:53:41):
No, it's more like an old fashioned paper chase to me.
Oh and now, Dan, take.

Speaker 10 (03:53:45):
A good look.

Speaker 19 (03:53:46):
This is a Zusa and I'm going to stop at
this gas station and ask a few questions already, Fred,
Could I have to know a little information if you
don't mind. That's where it saysn't that signed?

Speaker 2 (03:53:57):
Friend?

Speaker 19 (03:53:58):
Gas oil information?

Speaker 2 (03:53:59):
And where do you want to know?

Speaker 19 (03:54:02):
Well? Uh, take a look at this map. Will you
see here where the blue line stops right there? Yeah,
that's Cole Creek. Would you buy any chance to know
who lives up there? Everybody who lives up there? Oh
there's more than one? Yeah, six or seven summer cabins,
mostly fisherman. The crowd stream up there. Season ain't open though, now,

(03:54:23):
Oh summer cabins? Yeah, ain't nobody living in them?

Speaker 17 (03:54:26):
Now?

Speaker 19 (03:54:27):
It's this winter?

Speaker 35 (03:54:27):
Well, isn't there anybody.

Speaker 40 (03:54:29):
Living up there?

Speaker 23 (03:54:29):
Now?

Speaker 2 (03:54:30):
Well?

Speaker 19 (03:54:30):
Could be or outfit? Maybe I ever seen him come down?

Speaker 9 (03:54:34):
Oh?

Speaker 19 (03:54:34):
Who's that? A hope by the name of Atwater? Elizah Atwater? Now,
thank you very much, my friend. You folks ming on
going up there? Could be? Could be better? Fill up
on gas then wild country up there? Ain't another gas
station between there and Denver? Okay, friend, feller up?

Speaker 35 (03:54:59):
Do you think this Eliza Atwaters the woman we're looking for?

Speaker 26 (03:55:01):
Dan?

Speaker 17 (03:55:02):
What do you think rusting?

Speaker 35 (03:55:03):
Eliza Atwater sounds like a phony.

Speaker 8 (03:55:05):
Name to me?

Speaker 19 (03:55:06):
Rusty. You're learning. You'll probably noticed the similarity between Leonora
Ashley and Liza Edwater, both names starting with identical.

Speaker 57 (03:55:12):
Initials Leonore Ashley alias Eliza Atwater. Oh, slow down, Dan,
we're coming to a sign.

Speaker 19 (03:55:18):
Yes, yes, yes, this is it. Cold creek off to
the left it is heah, here we go right there?

Speaker 4 (03:55:25):
What a road?

Speaker 19 (03:55:26):
That's nothing but a trail.

Speaker 35 (03:55:27):
Hope, we don't have very much of this.

Speaker 19 (03:55:29):
We haven't looked.

Speaker 35 (03:55:30):
Oh then stop, there's a gate.

Speaker 19 (03:55:34):
Yeah, according to our mat this should be it.

Speaker 35 (03:55:36):
Uh huh and look at that high fence.

Speaker 19 (03:55:39):
Oh, Eli's undoubtedly a gate. Yes, this is a rusting.
See it says that water.

Speaker 35 (03:55:43):
Acres and all of them straight up the side of
the mountain.

Speaker 19 (03:55:48):
Like gates, lenns and no bell.

Speaker 35 (03:55:50):
Now what do we do over the fence?

Speaker 19 (03:55:52):
Rest to here?

Speaker 57 (03:55:52):
Give me a foot here, careful, Dan, farboire up here,
I'm over right?

Speaker 20 (03:55:59):
Are you right?

Speaker 31 (03:56:00):
Couch?

Speaker 19 (03:56:02):
Must have touched something, set up an alarm? Then that
man Rusty, remind me on that expense account. Put down one.

Speaker 35 (03:56:10):
No pair of pants, I'm looking pair. We are to
call on a movie star, torn clothes and dirty?

Speaker 14 (03:56:17):
You look up?

Speaker 35 (03:56:18):
Besides that, we're not welcome.

Speaker 19 (03:56:20):
That chat came from behind that clump of brush. Let's
take a look and see if our sniper friend let
any clothes run rusty, our friend may want to take
another shot.

Speaker 35 (03:56:28):
Sure he's gone.

Speaker 19 (03:56:29):
You can never be sure.

Speaker 4 (03:56:30):
And I heard him running away.

Speaker 19 (03:56:31):
And don't be too certain.

Speaker 3 (03:56:32):
He isn't a sheet.

Speaker 19 (03:56:35):
Here.

Speaker 23 (03:56:35):
We are.

Speaker 19 (03:56:37):
No chance of footprints, sounds all covered with pine needles.
Something Dan Well, give.

Speaker 35 (03:56:42):
It to me an empty cartridge?

Speaker 19 (03:56:45):
Yeah, revolver thirty eight. So that's the high of our
little bee came from. Well, there's nothing more here. Rest you.
Let's make a dance for the house.

Speaker 35 (03:56:59):
Hell we made Yeah the hard way.

Speaker 19 (03:57:01):
I will play a little knock knock. We know somebody's home.

Speaker 35 (03:57:07):
Open the door, Richard, stop it.

Speaker 19 (03:57:10):
Now, Richard approacheth good afternoon.

Speaker 48 (03:57:14):
We're I know I'm right in, doctor Danfield.

Speaker 35 (03:57:19):
How do you know you too?

Speaker 48 (03:57:21):
Missus Fairfax?

Speaker 19 (03:57:22):
Well, that'll be.

Speaker 35 (03:57:34):
I wonder how long they're going to keep us waiting
in this waiting room.

Speaker 19 (03:57:37):
That's what waiting rooms are for us, see waiting.

Speaker 35 (03:57:41):
Yes, but enough's enough. Where did you come from?

Speaker 4 (03:57:45):
Sorry?

Speaker 19 (03:57:45):
If I startled you, listen, mister, I don't appreciate guys.
It will sneak up on me from behind.

Speaker 2 (03:57:50):
I said, I was sorry. I'm afraid that Elsa was
a little hasty. Elsa, she's the maid hasty about what
about letting you in?

Speaker 35 (03:57:57):
Look, you aren't hasty enough to suit me, dan This
tone is closed.

Speaker 19 (03:58:01):
If you're whom we think you are, you'll have an
opportunity to.

Speaker 35 (03:58:04):
Change, change to what we didn't bring any bag.

Speaker 2 (03:58:07):
I'll all be taken care of in due time. And
now if you please some identification? Identification?

Speaker 19 (03:58:14):
Yes, your credentials? Oh, oh, very well? Here is that
conclusive enough proof that I remember in good standing of
the Amalgamated Order of Discerning Detectives.

Speaker 2 (03:58:25):
Courtesy card New York Police. Yes, indeed, that's quite satisfact
for doctor Danfield.

Speaker 19 (03:58:30):
Thank you. Now, i'll have else to show you.

Speaker 2 (03:58:33):
To your rooms, you'll find some of miss Ashley's things
laid out for you, Miss Fairfax, some of mine for you,
Doctor Danfield. You will kindly change me back down here in.

Speaker 19 (03:58:43):
Let's say a half hour. Wait a minute, I'm rather
inclined not to stay at all, that is, unless I
find out the answers to several things. Just what's bothering you,
doctor Danfield? Well, i'd like to know why someone took
a shot at us. For one thing, took a shot
at you. You must be mistaken, doctor Danfield.

Speaker 2 (03:59:01):
Oh, if anyone from here taking a shot at him,
I am very positive they wouldn't have missed.

Speaker 35 (03:59:16):
This is the screwiest set up I've ever seen.

Speaker 19 (03:59:19):
Then there must be a reason.

Speaker 35 (03:59:21):
Yeah, someone's coming.

Speaker 19 (03:59:23):
I don't think it's the boyfriend. He doesn't make any noise.

Speaker 35 (03:59:27):
It's Elsa. I hope you feel more comfortable.

Speaker 19 (03:59:32):
Thanks, Elsa, we do.

Speaker 35 (03:59:35):
What are you doing closing with?

Speaker 95 (03:59:38):
What in the world for Miss Ashley's orders? Man m
anything else you'd like to know?

Speaker 19 (03:59:46):
Sir? Yes, Elsa. Do you know how to shoot a revolver?

Speaker 81 (03:59:49):
Oh?

Speaker 95 (03:59:50):
Yes, indeed, Sir, I can shoot out the Ace of
Spades at fifty paces.

Speaker 19 (03:59:56):
Sir, Thank you very much, Elsa.

Speaker 48 (03:59:59):
I'll be leaving now, Sir.

Speaker 35 (04:00:01):
When are we going to see Miss Ashley?

Speaker 6 (04:00:03):
You'll have to wait.

Speaker 9 (04:00:06):
Now?

Speaker 35 (04:00:06):
Why did she close the shutters?

Speaker 19 (04:00:08):
Miss Ashley's orders? Rusty? But why would miss Ashe probably
like the dark?

Speaker 57 (04:00:13):
No, Dan, I've a good notion. We ought to get
out of here. Yeah, good afternoon, Miss Fairfax, Doctor Danfield.
I'm Leonora Ashley.

Speaker 19 (04:00:20):
How do you do, Miss Ashley, I uh like, I
hardly say I'm glad to see you because I can't
the darkness.

Speaker 35 (04:00:27):
Yes, I know, I'm sorry, but for the moment at.

Speaker 19 (04:00:30):
Least, it's necessary and our strains reception.

Speaker 35 (04:00:33):
That also has been necessary, including the pop shot.

Speaker 57 (04:00:36):
Somebody took at us. That also was necessary. Somebody shot
at you.

Speaker 19 (04:00:39):
Oh, yes, yes, most definitely.

Speaker 8 (04:00:41):
I didn't know.

Speaker 57 (04:00:43):
Yes, that's part of the same pattern. Someone didn't want
me to see you, tried to frighten you off. I'm
grateful they didn't succeed.

Speaker 19 (04:00:50):
What pattern are you talking about, Miss Ashley?

Speaker 35 (04:00:53):
That will come later. First, I must know if you'll
take my case.

Speaker 19 (04:00:57):
Yes, yes, I believe I will.

Speaker 48 (04:00:58):
I feel I must.

Speaker 35 (04:00:59):
Warn you it might be extremely dangerous.

Speaker 19 (04:01:02):
We'll still take it.

Speaker 48 (04:01:03):
Thank you.

Speaker 35 (04:01:06):
Now I'll turn on the lights.

Speaker 2 (04:01:11):
Good lord, Oh no, as.

Speaker 34 (04:01:18):
Your face.

Speaker 2 (04:01:30):
In a moment to return for the third act of danger,
Doctor Danfield. But first, now back to Michael Dunn for
the third act of danger, Doctor Danfield.

Speaker 35 (04:01:50):
Lenor, poor girl's pretty horrible. Isn't it a shame?

Speaker 29 (04:01:55):
Shame?

Speaker 19 (04:01:57):
What in the world happened?

Speaker 57 (04:01:59):
Well, you've seen my face, so I won't have to
tell you why I dropped out of pictures, poor thing.

Speaker 35 (04:02:04):
And how I got this way?

Speaker 57 (04:02:06):
Well, after my last picture, I took a trip to
the South Seas with an entertainment unit. The war was over,
but there's still a lot of lonely boys out there,
and I wanted to do my bid.

Speaker 19 (04:02:15):
Yes, I know what you mean.

Speaker 35 (04:02:17):
While I was out there, I contracted this tropical skin disease.
Isn't there something you can do?

Speaker 57 (04:02:22):
I've tried everything, specialists, all the known medicines.

Speaker 48 (04:02:27):
Nothing worked.

Speaker 57 (04:02:29):
Finally, six months ago, I met a young pharmaceutical chemist.
He had just graduated from college.

Speaker 35 (04:02:35):
He wanted to work on my case. I was desperate
by that time. I was willing to try anything.

Speaker 8 (04:02:41):
I don't blame you.

Speaker 35 (04:02:42):
So he took cultures and started to work. After a
week or two, he seemed quite hopeful.

Speaker 12 (04:02:48):
Oh.

Speaker 48 (04:02:48):
I came up here to hide away from.

Speaker 35 (04:02:50):
The columnists and reporters and waited for his cure or.

Speaker 19 (04:02:54):
Cure and the cure. It never happened, but it did.

Speaker 57 (04:02:58):
About two months ago. My friend brought me an ointment
together with the formula, and it began to show immediately
immediate results. Well, why I'll let me finish please. Two
weeks ago, my supply of ointment began to ran out.
I arranged to send Ronald into town to have some
more made up. But when I looked for the formula

(04:03:19):
it was gone, mumm stolen.

Speaker 48 (04:03:21):
I believe so.

Speaker 57 (04:03:24):
That formula was awfully good, doctor Danfield, made up commercially,
it could make somebody a great deal of money.

Speaker 19 (04:03:30):
Hell, the answer seems simple enough. Why don't you have
your young chemist friend send.

Speaker 2 (04:03:34):
You a copy?

Speaker 35 (04:03:35):
Because he was killed, doctor Danfield? Oh, one of those
terrible automobile accidents. Vast Christmas eve.

Speaker 19 (04:03:41):
Uh tell me, miss Ashley, have you had any guests
since you've been up here?

Speaker 35 (04:03:45):
None? Whatsoever?

Speaker 19 (04:03:46):
Then, if the formula was stolen, it had to be
by some one in this household?

Speaker 31 (04:03:49):
Yes?

Speaker 19 (04:03:50):
And who are the members of your household? I've met
two of them?

Speaker 9 (04:03:52):
Mother?

Speaker 19 (04:03:52):
Any more? Yes?

Speaker 35 (04:03:54):
Besides Elsa, my maid and Ronald Derrick, there's Ray Emerson,
my chauffeur and general handyman.

Speaker 19 (04:03:59):
And just who is Ronald Derreck?

Speaker 35 (04:04:01):
Ronnie or he's my agent?

Speaker 19 (04:04:04):
Have you any reason to suspect to suspect any one
of these three?

Speaker 35 (04:04:07):
Yes, doctor Danfield, I have I have reason to suspect
all three.

Speaker 19 (04:04:22):
Derek, You're sort of an enigma to me. Why doctor Danfield.
The fact that you're still sticking around when Miss Ashley
is no longer an asset to the motion picture business.

Speaker 2 (04:04:30):
I have reason to believe she again will be when
her face clears up.

Speaker 19 (04:04:34):
Miss Ashley tells me that you used to be Selena
Bruce's agent.

Speaker 6 (04:04:38):
What do you know about Selena Bruce?

Speaker 19 (04:04:39):
It not only that she was the actress whom Miss
Ashley replaced in her last picture.

Speaker 2 (04:04:43):
What if she was Selena started slipping, I picked up Leonora.
When you're in Hollywood, doctor Danfield, you always have to
back a winner.

Speaker 19 (04:04:51):
However, the thought occurs to me that you might still
be on miss Bruce's payroll. Mister Derek, she might very
well make it worth your while to see that Miss
Ashley is never I hope you're not accusing me of
stealing the formula, Doctor Danfield, because if I'm not accusing you, Ronnie,
but it could make sense. Besides, from what Miss Ashley
tells me, that formula is very valuable. I imagine that

(04:05:14):
the person who had it in their possession would probably
make millions.

Speaker 95 (04:05:26):
Can't you see I'm busy, Doctor Danfield. I got these
beds to make.

Speaker 19 (04:05:30):
Well, that's all right, Elsa I'll give you a hand here,
throw me the other side of that cheek. He why
did you leave Selena Bruce's employ Elsa?

Speaker 48 (04:05:38):
No, no, no, tuck it down good at the bottom.

Speaker 19 (04:05:41):
Oh uh, who told you?

Speaker 48 (04:05:46):
I used to work for miss Bruce?

Speaker 19 (04:05:47):
Miss Ashley? Why did you leave her? Elsa?

Speaker 95 (04:05:51):
She was too hard to work for nothing? I did
ever satisfied her. Here's the other sheet.

Speaker 19 (04:05:58):
Oh yeah, tell me, was miss Bruce angry when you
went to work for Miss Ashley?

Speaker 11 (04:06:03):
Was she?

Speaker 48 (04:06:04):
She was as mad as a wet hen. You don't
have to tuck this one under.

Speaker 19 (04:06:10):
Oh no, and uh, I suppose you're completely loyal to
Miss Ashley.

Speaker 48 (04:06:15):
Why, Doctor Danfield? Of course I am. How could you
think anything else? Here is the spread doctor.

Speaker 19 (04:06:24):
By the way, el sir, if you should run across
that formula, I'm sure Miss Ashley would reward you handsomely.
That formula is worth millions. Fender trouble, Henderson, Yeah, another
car hit you. Nope, running in the gate.

Speaker 2 (04:06:45):
Yep.

Speaker 19 (04:06:46):
I understand Henderson that you're the only other person around
here who didn't formally work for Selena Bruce. Yeah, you
don't talk very much to you, Henderson.

Speaker 4 (04:06:55):
No, why not?

Speaker 19 (04:06:57):
People would talk it in the trouble. Yes, yes, don't they.
You don't look like a young man who would be
satisfied to work as the chauffeur all his life. Ain't no, no,
gonna make a lot of money someday. You wouldn't be
thinking about a certain formula, would you, Henderson? Why would
I be doing that?

Speaker 84 (04:07:14):
Oh?

Speaker 19 (04:07:15):
Maybe because that formula could make the person who had
it at least a million dollars? And excuse me for asking?
Am I rusty? While I roll downstairs? I want to
take a look around.

Speaker 2 (04:07:33):
Quiet now, I'm being quiet.

Speaker 19 (04:07:34):
Yeah, we'll try this room first.

Speaker 32 (04:07:36):
Whose room is it?

Speaker 19 (04:07:37):
I don't know yet.

Speaker 35 (04:07:37):
Should I turn on the No? No, no, Rusty, how
are you going to see?

Speaker 96 (04:07:41):
I'll write a match? Silly, I don't see. Let's try
the bureau first. That ought to be a likely place.

Speaker 35 (04:07:50):
What are you looking for, Dan?

Speaker 19 (04:07:52):
I don't know.

Speaker 96 (04:07:52):
I'm not sure myself. Yeah, I'll take a look in here, Rusty,
I've found something.

Speaker 39 (04:07:58):
What Dan?

Speaker 31 (04:07:59):
What is it?

Speaker 4 (04:08:03):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (04:08:04):
Dan, Danny?

Speaker 8 (04:08:06):
You are you hurt?

Speaker 19 (04:08:07):
Oh?

Speaker 67 (04:08:09):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (04:08:09):
My head?

Speaker 31 (04:08:11):
Dan?

Speaker 19 (04:08:12):
A match, Rusty?

Speaker 20 (04:08:14):
Just a minute?

Speaker 19 (04:08:15):
There a bleeding my death.

Speaker 35 (04:08:18):
No, I can't see a scratch.

Speaker 19 (04:08:19):
There's a lump there I can feel it, Rusty, Rusty,
who was it?

Speaker 42 (04:08:23):
I don't know.

Speaker 35 (04:08:24):
I don't sell an arm raised to hit you.

Speaker 19 (04:08:27):
What was I hit?

Speaker 35 (04:08:29):
I'm not sure, but I think it was a wrench.

Speaker 19 (04:08:35):
Whoever it was didn't get what they came for anyway.

Speaker 35 (04:08:38):
Are you sure?

Speaker 19 (04:08:39):
Of course, I'm sure rusted. It's still here, folks, folks.

Speaker 35 (04:08:50):
Dr Danfield wishes to make an announcement.

Speaker 19 (04:08:52):
Thank you, Miss Ashley. What I'm about to say is
going to make at least all but one of you
very happy. I'm glad to announce that the formula has
been found. Quiet, Rusty, I know what I'm doing.

Speaker 48 (04:09:04):
Well, I'm mighty happy to know that me too.

Speaker 19 (04:09:07):
I thought for a moment you were suspecting me. I
didn't find it, never didn't believe anybody stole it. Well,
I'm happy to see you're all happy.

Speaker 48 (04:09:13):
Aren't you going to tell us who had it?

Speaker 4 (04:09:15):
No?

Speaker 19 (04:09:16):
No, I've talked it over with Miss Ashley, and even
she doesn't want to know. Oh, by the way, Miss Ashley,
do you wish me to give the formula to you
or would you rather I kept it in my possession
until I can take it into your safe deposit vault
in the morning.

Speaker 35 (04:09:27):
I'll trust you with it, doctor Dan Pield.

Speaker 19 (04:09:29):
Thank you, Miss Ashley, and now you can all go
back to your soup.

Speaker 35 (04:09:44):
Rusty Dan, where are.

Speaker 19 (04:09:46):
You over here by the window?

Speaker 11 (04:09:48):
Did you do as I told you?

Speaker 23 (04:09:49):
Yes?

Speaker 35 (04:09:50):
I walked down the hall in my room and opened
the door. Then I closed it hard and tiptoed back
up here to.

Speaker 4 (04:09:54):
Your Nobody saw you.

Speaker 57 (04:09:56):
I'm sure they didn't, good girl, Rusty Agin, I don't
understand if you already have the formula?

Speaker 35 (04:10:02):
What's all this? Blind mans buffle bush.

Speaker 19 (04:10:05):
We're about to have company now, Rusty, somebody ought to
call me Joe Louis Stanfield. Who is a match?

Speaker 3 (04:10:21):
And see.

Speaker 48 (04:10:23):
Why?

Speaker 35 (04:10:24):
It's Ronnie Dereck.

Speaker 19 (04:10:25):
Yes, yes, so it is here. Help me pull him
back out of the way with you, Rusty, I get it.

Speaker 57 (04:10:30):
Ronnie was the one who stole the formula, and when
you told him you finally decided to steal it back.

Speaker 19 (04:10:35):
Sh someone else outside the door?

Speaker 35 (04:10:38):
What is this a parade?

Speaker 4 (04:10:49):
I go again.

Speaker 19 (04:10:52):
In our Rusty, and I'm positively getting good.

Speaker 35 (04:10:54):
Well, who's this one?

Speaker 19 (04:10:55):
Probably Silent Ray the chauffeur.

Speaker 35 (04:10:57):
We use up more matches this way yesterday.

Speaker 19 (04:11:01):
Well, I'm glad he didn't see me first, this guy's big.

Speaker 35 (04:11:04):
Damn well, they both after the formula.

Speaker 19 (04:11:05):
It looks like Rusty.

Speaker 57 (04:11:06):
It looks like silly of them looking in the dresser drawer.
You wouldn't put the formula in the dresser drawer, of course,
not Rusty. By the way, where did you put it there?

Speaker 19 (04:11:16):
I didn't. I haven't got it. I never had it.

Speaker 35 (04:11:18):
You haven't got it.

Speaker 19 (04:11:20):
But I said I was going to put the formula
and miss Ashley's safe deposit box tomorrow morning, and I am,
come on, must see you. We're going to pick up
that formula right now. We're calling on Elsa Barton.

Speaker 2 (04:11:42):
In a moment to return for the conclusion of danger,
doctor Danfield. But first, now back to Michael Dunn for
the conclusion of danger.

Speaker 19 (04:11:57):
Doctor Danfield. Hey, you know that's an awfully pretty quick
down there, Rusty. Someday I'm coming back and go fishing there.

Speaker 57 (04:12:09):
You were lucky on this case. Dan seems to me
you did everything backwards. For instance, what did you want
to make that speech at the dinner table for telling
everybody that the formula had been found when it hadn't
been found at all?

Speaker 19 (04:12:20):
A little applied psychology, Rusty, I meant to convince everybody
that it actually had been found. I did too, even you.
That is, I convinced everybody except the one person who
couldn't be convinced.

Speaker 2 (04:12:31):
Who was that?

Speaker 19 (04:12:32):
Elsa Barton, the one who had the formula. She knew
if she had it, I couldn't have it. Gee, that's
a pretty like up ahead that it's full of fish.

Speaker 14 (04:12:40):
But what good did that do, Rusty?

Speaker 19 (04:12:42):
I'm surprised you saw the results?

Speaker 35 (04:12:44):
Well do you mean you planned it that way?

Speaker 19 (04:12:46):
Of course? I made certain that all three had a
reason to want that formula by telling each of them
that it was worth a million dollars. Then I claimed
that it had been found, let them all know that
I had it in my possession. So what happened? The
two who didn't have it came to my room and
tried to get it, while the one who did have
it knew I was lying and simply went to bed,
probably laughing up her sleeve, thinking that she'd evaded my trap.

(04:13:08):
Well didn't she, No, Rusty, she walked right into it
by not coming to my room like the rest. Elsa
proved herself guilty. The results a full confession and the formula,
which he dug up from out of her stocking. Poor Elsa.
I hope Selina Bruce paid her enough to compensate for
a couple of years she'll spend in the state's prison.

Speaker 4 (04:13:26):
Gosh, that's a pretty.

Speaker 35 (04:13:27):
Late But who was it that took a shot at it?

Speaker 19 (04:13:30):
M M or probably Ronald Derek. He already knew its value.
He didn't want us around one of the clear field
to find the formula himself, as I'm sure it was
ron who socked me on the head with a wrench
when I discovered the thirty eight in his dresser drawer.

Speaker 57 (04:13:42):
Oh, dear Ronald Derreck. I always did want to meet
a motion picture agent. Hm, hm, you know, Dan, don't
you think i'd be.

Speaker 48 (04:13:50):
Good in pictures?

Speaker 9 (04:13:50):
No?

Speaker 35 (04:13:51):
Oh, go jump in the lake, Rusty.

Speaker 19 (04:13:55):
You know something what I can't swim?

Speaker 16 (04:14:11):
Deep Night one O three JE Radio Your Life. You
are sitting your station.

Speaker 61 (04:14:23):
Hello, this is Matt Richardson, executive producer here at Jade.
We've got something a little different for you tonight. To
be quite honest, I'm not sure how to explain it.
It's it's Jeff the spas Kellerman's last show. Yeah, I know,

(04:14:51):
we aired one two weeks ago that we said was
his last, and we thought it was his last until
a couple of days ago when this recording surve Believe
me when I say we debated airingness. The stuff you're
going to hear is well, as Freddy Gale, our technician

(04:15:16):
put it is out there. But in the end we
decided it's what Spaz himself would have wanted.

Speaker 97 (04:15:35):
When darkness falls, the unseen denizens of the night begin
their nocturnal prowl.

Speaker 46 (04:15:40):
They slither through the brush, lurk in the.

Speaker 97 (04:15:42):
Trees, and soar invisibly through the air and at least
one as a golden set of pipes. Neet Jeffrey Spaz
Kellerman a compellingly disgusting late night radio talk show host
at the peak of his career.

Speaker 46 (04:15:59):
His language is He's racist as.

Speaker 97 (04:16:01):
Sexist, His opinions are outrageous and inflammatory, and if that
weren't enough, he makes millions. Now, maybe it's true that
what goes around comes around. What that means is that
there may be a lot coming Spaz's way, and perhaps
tonight is the night that those demons from his past

(04:16:22):
finally take flight to the airwaves. Man Radio by Leslie
Muldener A friendly word of warning spaz Kellerman. Like so
many shock jocks across North America, bars no holds Man

(04:16:47):
Radio contains intense situations in subject matter, derogatory language, and profanity.
It may not be appropriate for some listeners. As with
all dangerous things, your caution and discretion is only advice.

Speaker 98 (04:17:08):
So I'm back Jeff spaz Keller Fast Radio, and folks,
you can rest easy knowing that the spas has not
been genetically modified in any way or surgically enhanced.

Speaker 16 (04:17:20):
Damn right, Okay, you know what the show's about. You
call in and tell me what's on your mind. In
between calls, we'll goop around and offend a bunch of folks.

Speaker 6 (04:17:28):
How's that sound.

Speaker 22 (04:17:30):
Well, it's late night in the City of Love and
I'm a rejected and lonely boy tonight. Yep, my constant
companion and loyal producer Matt Richardson, who's attending.

Speaker 19 (04:17:41):
His new baby and nuns.

Speaker 99 (04:17:44):
The little ankle bier arrived last night, so being the
he's at the hospital to leave and as we feed.

Speaker 16 (04:17:56):
Yep, that's all the world needs. Another friggin kid. I know,
I know, I'm on a roll tonight. Unfortunately for our
new technician here.

Speaker 22 (04:18:05):
Yep, we have a stand in techie new boy on
the block, filling in for the ailing fat Freddie Gale,
who's normally behind the board.

Speaker 16 (04:18:12):
And what's your name again, kid Nate?

Speaker 22 (04:18:15):
Don't tell me, Nate you came from one of those
shitty little suburban broadcasting colleges.

Speaker 16 (04:18:19):
Right, don't answer that.

Speaker 100 (04:18:23):
You know, this is a little bit spooky, late at night,
twenty two floors up in a deserted studio, just me
and strange little Nate from nowhere.

Speaker 23 (04:18:37):
Oo.

Speaker 16 (04:18:41):
Okay, let's get to work. We got a caller. Who
is it, Nate?

Speaker 8 (04:18:45):
Gary?

Speaker 16 (04:18:46):
Speak to me, Gary, what's on your mind?

Speaker 2 (04:18:48):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (04:18:48):
Hi, spats.

Speaker 84 (04:18:50):
Well, it's all about this crap over the permanent site
we're trying to establish for the ultimately, for those of us.

Speaker 16 (04:18:56):
Who have a life, Gary, could you explain what ultimate is?

Speaker 3 (04:19:00):
Yeah?

Speaker 84 (04:19:01):
Well, basically Ultimate is a game of frisbee taken to well,
the ultimate level.

Speaker 16 (04:19:07):
Anyways, it's about the proposed site frisbee. You play with frisbees,
is that it, Gary?

Speaker 14 (04:19:13):
Yeah?

Speaker 16 (04:19:13):
Frisbees discs and the thing is the old are you Gary?
I'm thirty three thirty three At thirty three, Jesus was
on the cross.

Speaker 22 (04:19:23):
Genghis Khan had swept through Asia, Shakespeare had written his
best work. And what are you doing Gary? Running around
like a nine year old chasing up frisbee?

Speaker 84 (04:19:30):
You know this sport is gonna go into the chair.

Speaker 4 (04:19:34):
This off.

Speaker 16 (04:19:39):
Jam right, Okay, let's see we've got rides. What's up buddy,
Hey Spas, how you doing all right?

Speaker 9 (04:19:45):
Uh?

Speaker 101 (04:19:46):
So I just want to comment on I want to
consider it's like all this racial profiling that's happening on
the borders.

Speaker 16 (04:19:51):
Racial profiling. Uh huh yeah, I can see this coming, so.

Speaker 101 (04:19:55):
Okay, So what I mean is like nowadays, if you're
crossing the border, I mean, if you're a South Asia,
you know you look Middle Eastern, you're gonna get all
this hassle.

Speaker 16 (04:20:02):
What kind of hassle rog you know, like like there
was those.

Speaker 101 (04:20:06):
Two Indo Canadian guys that were coming back from the
States from their cousin's wedding.

Speaker 48 (04:20:09):
Uh huh.

Speaker 101 (04:20:10):
You know, they got questions for like five hours or something.

Speaker 29 (04:20:13):
I mean, it makes me nervous because.

Speaker 16 (04:20:14):
The way I look, because you look like a terrorist.

Speaker 101 (04:20:17):
Right well no, because people think that all terrorists have
the same racial characteristics.

Speaker 16 (04:20:21):
But hey, listen, Roger, I got news for you. Those
guys that flew those planes.

Speaker 22 (04:20:26):
I didn't see any blue eyed blonde Norwegians in there
with them, you know what I mean?

Speaker 29 (04:20:31):
Yeah?

Speaker 101 (04:20:31):
Yeah, Well, well, previous to nine to eleven, the biggest
terrorist attack on the American mainland came from a white
guy from Oklahoma. Okay, But they didn't decide to stop
guys with Kruk cuts coming across the border, did they.

Speaker 23 (04:20:43):
It's racist, it's just.

Speaker 16 (04:20:44):
The racial it's the new world order. And if it
keeps us all, say the spas Man's all for it.

Speaker 22 (04:20:50):
Personally, I think they should string razor wire from sea
to shining goddamn sea to keep those psycho bastards out.
And if you don't like it, you can always try
one of those mic Jackson bleach jobs.

Speaker 100 (04:21:02):
I haven't done.

Speaker 16 (04:21:02):
Anything to change my skin. Can't people just change?

Speaker 21 (04:21:05):
It's all just a lie.

Speaker 65 (04:21:07):
Speaking of change, it's time for fun. Phone fun, the
dialing devilishly demonistic.

Speaker 19 (04:21:21):
Let's just piss someone off.

Speaker 29 (04:21:26):
Hello, crisis line Marie speaking.

Speaker 86 (04:21:29):
Oh thank god, Marie, I really need to talk to someone.

Speaker 29 (04:21:33):
Well, that's what we're here for. Now, what's going on?

Speaker 86 (04:21:36):
It's it's oh, I don't know, I'm I'm really screwed
up over this.

Speaker 16 (04:21:41):
I'm really it's okay, it's okay.

Speaker 29 (04:21:43):
Just take your time.

Speaker 86 (04:21:45):
It's my buddy Jerry. He killed himself a couple of
days ago. He cut his wrists.

Speaker 16 (04:21:52):
It was terrible.

Speaker 29 (04:21:53):
Oh god, I'm so sorry. Were you close to him, yes,
he was like a brother. Sorry, you must be feeling
very sad, Marie.

Speaker 86 (04:22:02):
I'm churning up inside. And the worst thing is he
killed himself in my place, in my house. Jesus said.
The blood, all that blood.

Speaker 29 (04:22:12):
You know, a terrible is there anybody everywhere.

Speaker 16 (04:22:17):
On the walls, on the carpets, everywhere.

Speaker 43 (04:22:20):
Pools of blood.

Speaker 86 (04:22:22):
I think that that's why I wanted to call you, guys,
because because you know, you know about the blood and
the core. You're right, goddamn angel, that's what you are, Marie,
Angel from heaven. But what I really need help with is.

Speaker 16 (04:22:37):
Yeah, is the carpet.

Speaker 29 (04:22:41):
The carpet?

Speaker 22 (04:22:42):
Yeah, it was an import, cost me almost six grand
and that ass Paul ruined it. Do you recommend a
professional cleaner like Carpet King or should I try to
clean it myself?

Speaker 29 (04:22:51):
Okay, okay, yeah, that's real funny.

Speaker 16 (04:23:00):
I love screwing with their minds.

Speaker 99 (04:23:02):
Okay more after this in a moment, what the fuck

(04:23:25):
are you doing?

Speaker 16 (04:23:28):
Well? That sure wasn't no ad for burger Heaven. Uh
Nate from nowhere was probably busy playing with his palm pilot. Okay,
it's time for oh a, rednecks. It's like this.

Speaker 22 (04:23:50):
The powers that be want us ALTI vacation at home.
But when you do, what happens you run into rednecks,
rural folks, locals, salt of the earth, you know, morons,
people who are not like you and me, folks, but
are too stupid to make it in the big city.
So on fear of rednecks, we encourage you to be

(04:24:13):
as rude and obnoxious as possible to country folks.

Speaker 16 (04:24:16):
For example, instead.

Speaker 22 (04:24:18):
Of ordering that blueberry pie they're so proud of you,
tell them to shove it up, and the best story wins.

Speaker 16 (04:24:27):
Who the hell knows? Okay, this is Mike on the line. Mike,
what's your story? Mikey? Are you there?

Speaker 99 (04:24:38):
Mikey?

Speaker 16 (04:24:39):
Wake up? Well, it looks like we probably lie.

Speaker 84 (04:24:44):
Someone help Meessy, Hey, is this the spas? Yeah?

Speaker 23 (04:24:51):
Did I scare you?

Speaker 16 (04:24:53):
Hey?

Speaker 4 (04:24:53):
I did?

Speaker 84 (04:24:53):
Right?

Speaker 3 (04:24:54):
Yeah?

Speaker 16 (04:24:54):
Yeah, good thing. I'm wearing brown pants.

Speaker 79 (04:24:56):
Sorry, man, I had to do that, you know the
spas I mean, I had to.

Speaker 4 (04:25:00):
My girlfriend dared me.

Speaker 16 (04:25:01):
You must be a match made in have an asshole. Okay, Mikey,
what's your story?

Speaker 79 (04:25:05):
Well, you know, like a couple of weeks ago, me
and some buddies went camping and we stopped at this
store that had all these what do they call them,
you know, homemade crap, shit and stuff, So we started
grabbing all.

Speaker 22 (04:25:21):
Hey, Mikey, shit for brains. The GAG's over, Okay, Okay,
so it's goodbye to Mikey.

Speaker 16 (04:25:38):
Get off the line, Mike.

Speaker 22 (04:25:42):
Nate Nate, Hey, dickless, you asleep at the board.

Speaker 16 (04:25:48):
You're opening the wrong files.

Speaker 22 (04:25:49):
For Christ's sake, Sorry Jesus, a little technical problem there, folks.
Seems Nate from nowhere had a brain Aneurysmas radio.

Speaker 88 (04:26:10):
It's probably the most trying time any family can face.
It comes without warning, bringing a tidal wave of emotions
that threatens to overwhelm. But when it does, call Pleasant
Haven Memorial Homes. We're there when you need us.

Speaker 22 (04:26:30):
Okay, Well, i'd say, our guys in sales sure got
our demographic wrong with that one.

Speaker 16 (04:26:36):
Is it Halloween?

Speaker 22 (04:26:36):
And nobody told me? Or have I taken that many drugs, Nate, Nate,
did they tell you? Tell me the coffee?

Speaker 16 (04:26:56):
Nate? You bring me my coffee?

Speaker 4 (04:27:00):
Coffee?

Speaker 22 (04:27:01):
Yes, Nate, I'm the famous radio show host and you're
the gopher. So go get me some friggin coffee.

Speaker 4 (04:27:07):
Already, black, no sugar.

Speaker 16 (04:27:10):
He's slow but psychic. Yes, that's right, sparky.

Speaker 8 (04:27:13):
Okay. Is there anything else?

Speaker 63 (04:27:15):
You need?

Speaker 22 (04:27:16):
Some health touch therapy? No, just get me some coffee.

Speaker 4 (04:27:19):
Okay, but there's someone who wants to talk to you.

Speaker 16 (04:27:22):
No lights flashing, Nate. No lights means no callers, Buddy,
didn't you learn.

Speaker 4 (04:27:27):
That free.

Speaker 29 (04:27:29):
Jeffrey is?

Speaker 16 (04:27:35):
So this is who I think it is.

Speaker 102 (04:27:36):
Yes, kids, looks like mom's home. Guess who's calling the show.
It's the missus, well, the ex missus. And which one
of you little monkeys put her up to it?

Speaker 3 (04:27:48):
Eh?

Speaker 16 (04:27:51):
Hello, Karen, what's up?

You're from some improv comedy group. Gotta hand it to you.
The voice is great. You've got Paul down to a t.
I mean, I'm not an impersonator, man, that voice is
so impressive.

Speaker 103 (04:32:01):
I got cockroaches. What you've got a phobia about cockroaches?

Speaker 4 (04:32:09):
Is that right? Listen? Talent?

Speaker 16 (04:32:12):
It doesn't take much to find out if someone.

Speaker 23 (04:32:14):
At the back of our house was rotten the house
at three point fifty three.

Speaker 16 (04:32:19):
Wolden, how would you know about it?

Speaker 23 (04:32:21):
The mom was always.

Speaker 103 (04:32:21):
Getting on Dad's case that it was an accident waiting
to happen. Someone would fall through and one day a
bunch of us chasing each other, and you just went
down the floor, gave way. You just went down, and
this shit under there covered up for years, I guess,
And there was a nest of cockroaches, hundreds of cockroaches.

(04:32:43):
You fell into them. It only took Dad a few
minutes to pull you out, but that was enough. And
that's why you can't stand cockroaches.

Speaker 23 (04:32:58):
Now, do you believe that I'm your brother? Yeah?

Speaker 22 (04:33:04):
Looks looks like it's the real McCoy with us, folks,
A little brother, Paulie, the white slice of the family,
the brother who stayed behind Paul.

Speaker 16 (04:33:16):
What is it Paul's plumbing? No work started without a
free appraisal?

Speaker 23 (04:33:20):
Yeah, that's right, Jeff, Paul.

Speaker 16 (04:33:24):

offspring of yours?

Speaker 16 (04:33:30):
Good question, folks, What do I care?

Speaker 23 (04:33:33):
I'm calling about Dad?

Speaker 16 (04:33:35):
Calling about Dad.

Speaker 23 (04:33:37):
It's bad. It's really bad.

Speaker 16 (04:33:40):
Alzheimer's, folks, the old geezers lost it. Are you moved
to tears yet?

Speaker 4 (04:33:45):
Kids?

Speaker 23 (04:33:45):
He can't live on his own anymore?

Speaker 16 (04:33:48):
And you want me to do what exactly?

Speaker 23 (04:33:51):
I didn't want to call I told us still that Look,
I've had a really tough time this year. This is
this business.

Speaker 6 (04:33:59):
There's a lot of.

Speaker 16 (04:33:59):

carrying the bag for years.

Speaker 23 (04:34:09):
I can't do it anymore. You've got the money.

Speaker 16 (04:34:11):
So that's what this calls about.

Speaker 103 (04:34:13):
Something for him for once, for christ saying before, we're
not even asking to go out of your way and
come see him. Just take five minutes to write a check.
Just pay for someone else to take care of him.
That's all we're asking, just for once.

Speaker 22 (04:34:24):
And I get back what a warm, fuzzy feeling of compassion.

Speaker 16 (04:34:28):
So I can repay everything he did for me.

Speaker 23 (04:34:30):
Look, I know there's a lot of things, you know,
jack shit, he.

Speaker 16 (04:34:34):
Was never home, and when he was he didn't give
me the time of day.

Speaker 22 (04:34:38):
All he was interested in was finding another dumb asshole
to buy a policy.

Speaker 16 (04:34:41):
And when he was at home, he couldn't wait to
get back on the road again. He hated mom, he
hated me, and hey, and I've got news for you,
John Boy, he hated you. He's dying now, so what.
I'm just supposed to forget all the crap, forget how
he was with me.

Speaker 23 (04:34:56):
I'm sorry, Jeff, I really am. I just thought you
want to go home. I thought you want to know.

Speaker 16 (04:35:03):
Sorry, Bro, can't do it back after these messages?

We all miss you, I know, honey. But I'll make
it up to you.

Speaker 89 (04:36:18):
Depressed, anxious, overwhelmed by feelings of hopelessness. Perhaps it's time
to talk to your doctor about the fargo. The fargo
is not simply an antidepressant. It's a way to take
back control of your life.

You're sending my letters back, blocking my calls. You just
went on with your life like nothing had happened. But
that's okay. It worked out the way you'd expect me.

(04:38:52):
At seventeen. They took the baby away, took my baby away.

Speaker 29 (04:39:03):
It worked out for Christ's sake, Laura.

Speaker 46 (04:39:06):
It's not easy coming to a crossroads.

Speaker 29 (04:39:09):
The choices we face.

Speaker 76 (04:39:10):
In life can often leave us confused and anxious.

the Church of the Saints of Mercy. You know in
your heart it makes sense.

All about control with you, isn't it, Jeffy. The idea
that you don't know what's happening to you.

Speaker 40 (04:40:20):
It's just too much, isn't it.

Speaker 23 (04:40:22):
You can't take that, can you.

Speaker 104 (04:40:24):
It has to be you pulling the strings all the time,

We we figured Spaz was extremely disoriented from his heart
condition when he came in that night. I say this because,
along with all our other broadcasters. Spaz was notified in
advanced that one of his old shows would be broadcasts

(04:45:32):
that night. There'd be no live shows because of systems upgrading,
so there wasn't a technician book that night. But a
couple of days ago, Freddie Gale received a disc in
