Speaker 7 (01:29):
Dark, the CBS Radio Mystery Theater Presents.

Speaker 4 (01:50):
Come in. Welcome. I'm E. G. Marshall.

Speaker 8 (01:57):
I've always delighted when I come across a new Gothic
tale but never more so than when it happens to
be written by someone unlikely, say, for example, Captain Frederick Marriac,
who is popular in his day with young readers for
his tales of sea adventure, such as Midshipmen.

Speaker 9 (02:16):
Ready.

Speaker 8 (02:17):
This one, however, is a savage, bloody, haunting tale of
another color, or, to be precise.

Speaker 4 (02:25):
A wolf. What is it? Hurtman?

Speaker 10 (02:30):
Their father through the trees, the White Wolf?

Speaker 4 (02:34):
Give me my gun. Hello, I have a bead on
her already. Why do you save her?

Speaker 11 (02:39):
Because Marcella thinks it's a she wolf? Now no, should
you knock my gun in the air?

Speaker 12 (02:45):
Course, because don't you see it is not a wolf
who comes to us, but a woman, a beautiful woman.

Speaker 8 (03:02):
Our mystery drama The White Wolf was written especially for
the Mystery Theater by Ian Martin and stars Norman Rose
and Christopher Tabori. It is sponsored in part by Buick
Motor Division and x Lex. I'll be back shortly with
that one. The legends of lycanthropy must be as old

(03:32):
as man himself, and believe it or not, the werewolf
or wolf man is still a valid phenomenon today in
certain parts of the world. But that is a pathological phenomenon,
a psychiatric descent into cannibalism and bestiality, which has little
to do with legend.

Speaker 4 (03:52):
That's what this story is about.

Speaker 8 (03:54):
The terrible spine shilling transformation of man to ravening beast
and dry spirits that haunt the hearts mountains of Germany,
and the blood curdling phantom with the snarling mouth and
flesh destroying claws, the lips bared to reveal the great knives,
the canine teeth, in the travesty of a smile that

(04:16):
means death.

Speaker 4 (04:18):
The werewolf. They're dumb to wolf? Why doesn't he be quiet?

Speaker 13 (04:24):
They are incredible veal Helm. Somehow they smell blood?

Speaker 12 (04:28):
How the animal must be I legal way? What are
you medical? Doctor or witch? Doctor?

Speaker 13 (04:34):
Franz Baum the first. I hope that I have also
lived my life in the shadow of these mountains house
the boy. We can let her and answer that for himself.
You feel better from the bleeding.

Speaker 4 (04:49):
I don't know how, doctor.

Speaker 13 (04:51):
I feel weak as a kitten still, of course, of course,
but I think the fever has abated. Yes, yes, give
me a fresh damp cloth, Wilhelm, Ah, the.

Speaker 4 (05:01):
Water is all but gone.

Speaker 13 (05:02):
I'll have my celebring some First, let us rid ourselves
of his basin of blood.

Speaker 14 (05:08):
No sight for a young girl.

Speaker 4 (05:10):
I'll throw it in the midten. No, no, you dare
not do that.

Speaker 13 (05:15):
That wolf out there, whatever he is, don't do anything
to attract him to your house.

Speaker 15 (05:21):
I will rid you of the blood I have.

Speaker 4 (05:23):
Let how I.

Speaker 14 (05:25):
Have some containers.

Speaker 13 (05:26):
I'll take it back to Coburg with me.

Speaker 14 (05:29):
I can use it for my experiments.

Speaker 4 (05:32):
Sleep, Sleep by boy, and wake refreshed.

Speaker 11 (05:37):
I'm afraid that's just what I'm going to do.

Speaker 4 (05:41):
Doctor. Is he all right?

Speaker 16 (05:43):
Of course?

Speaker 4 (05:43):
I gave the madraft to help him rest rah. I
must get my gun.

Speaker 17 (05:49):
At high time.

Speaker 14 (05:50):
Enough, let me get away. It grows dark.

Speaker 4 (05:52):
You are sure herman will recover.

Speaker 13 (05:54):
I have every hope, but really will help. I must
protest again. This last woodsman's cottage on the edge of
nowhere is not a place to bind your children too, Franz.

Speaker 4 (06:07):
Let us not argue it again.

Speaker 12 (06:08):
You know why I hide here like a criminal? Why
do I say like a criminal?

Speaker 4 (06:13):
I am one in the eyes of a loft. I
thought you said Simon was asleep.

Speaker 13 (06:18):
I hope, But you're speaking loud enough for Marcella and
your little boy. Caesar to hear sounds carrying such a
small cabin from outside as well as in.

Speaker 4 (06:30):
It seems sam wolf, come quickly.

Speaker 18 (06:34):
This this terrifiing hiding ball the bed won't come.

Speaker 4 (06:37):
Out, harsh darling. I'm just going to get my gun.

Speaker 14 (06:39):
Better.

Speaker 13 (06:40):
I leave Wilhelm once I am gone. You're a wolf,
will not trouble you. I think I carry away in
my baglesscent which tempted him here.

Speaker 12 (06:49):
I don't care what tempted him here, I've put a
pullet in him.

Speaker 19 (06:54):
Oh, heir, doctor bomb.

Speaker 20 (06:56):
Why do we stay here hidden in the forest.

Speaker 14 (07:00):
As your father's will?

Speaker 4 (07:01):
Dear Marcella, how is herman?

Speaker 13 (07:03):
Your brother is resting quietly now. I'll be back to
see him as soon as I may. But I think
we have drawn away the fever from within him.

Speaker 19 (07:13):
How can I help.

Speaker 13 (07:15):
Bring him some fresh cool towels? Marcella, see that he sleeps.

Speaker 21 (07:20):
Keep him.

Speaker 19 (07:24):
I've got to go to Caesar. He'll be scared.

Speaker 22 (07:28):
Did you kill a terrible papa?

Speaker 2 (07:30):
Ah?

Speaker 4 (07:30):
No, just grade him. Go tend to Caesar, Marcella, Yes, Papa,
where was it?

Speaker 12 (07:36):
Dam there inside the house scrabbling at a back window.
An unusual creature? You know it was pure white, with
fur like ermine of white wolf. Against the snow, it
moved like a ghost.

Speaker 13 (07:52):
But at all events it is gone. Yes, and I
will take with me the blood scent that.

Speaker 4 (07:58):
Brought it here. But what about Herman.

Speaker 13 (08:00):
I shall return within the month unless I can persuade
you to abandon the wilderness come back to the world.
I have a deep fear there is some evil threat
about you in these haunted mountains.

Speaker 4 (08:14):
You mean this white wolf.

Speaker 13 (08:17):
I really don't know what I mean, old friend. I
am a man of science until I return to these
tree shrouded slopes, and then I become become what primitive,
afraid of all I do not know, or I am
afraid to know, Afraid of the dark which I must
run to escape, Afraid of myself because I have no

(08:40):
resource with all my learning to stifle prime evil fear.
These darkening woods and tortured hills are somehow unnatural, supernatural.

Speaker 11 (08:56):
My name is Herman Warner Kratz, and I was in
the year seventeen sixty three. I'm now twenty one years old,
and I live with my father, my sister Marcella, who's
almost twenty, and my brother Caesar, who is eleven in
a woodsman's cabin deep in the Heart's mountains. The nearest
house to us is several leagues, and the nearest town

(09:17):
over twenty five. I recite all these facts to myself,
lightheaded with this raging fever, and sorrowing that we must
all live this isolated life.

Speaker 4 (09:30):
Why I do not know.

Speaker 11 (09:34):
There is something quite terrible my father's background, of which
he will not speak. I wonder how long I have
been ill, floating half in this world and half perhaps
in some dread other.

Speaker 4 (09:48):
Now at least the pounding in my head is gone.

Speaker 11 (09:52):
The ache is washing away from my bones, and I
feel myself coming back.

Speaker 23 (09:59):
Come her.

Speaker 18 (10:01):
That's better, Take some more soup. You need to build
back your strength.

Speaker 4 (10:06):
Never fear. I'm on the mend.

Speaker 18 (10:09):
Thank God for doctor Baum. Oh why must we stay
buried here?

Speaker 11 (10:16):
I don't know, little one, but I think the time
has come for us to get back among people again.

Speaker 19 (10:22):
You think you could convince.

Speaker 4 (10:23):
Papa, well, I can try.

Speaker 19 (10:26):
Where is father out hunting?

Speaker 20 (10:28):
He says, But I think he searches for only only
one thing.

Speaker 19 (10:34):
What the white wolf?

Speaker 10 (10:38):
The What?

Speaker 4 (10:39):
But a wolf meat isn't good to eat.

Speaker 18 (10:41):
He's not hunting it for food, just to kill it.

Speaker 10 (10:46):
But why because.

Speaker 18 (10:51):
Stories, the legends about the spirits here in the mountain.

Speaker 4 (10:57):
You mean to wear wolves. It's an old wive's tale.

Speaker 24 (11:02):
I don't know.

Speaker 19 (11:04):
I don't know.

Speaker 18 (11:06):
Something almost human about its voice, and it doesn't sound
like a man, but like a woman, a woman. Yes,
you know something, Hermann. Why I am really most afraid.
Why because I think.

Speaker 19 (11:25):
I think it is me. She really comes for.

Speaker 10 (11:29):
Did you hear.

Speaker 11 (11:31):
If she were calling me, Well, that's stopping your white wolf.

Speaker 10 (11:38):
Father's killed her.

Speaker 19 (11:40):
No, he missed her again. He always misses.

Speaker 4 (11:45):
My little sister.

Speaker 11 (11:47):
You give me three or four days to mend my
health with your good soups and your good cooking, and
I will shoot your white wolf for you. In the
days after my sister had told me of the white wolf,
my dreams have been haunted by visions of the animal's
shape twisting and coiling into a pillar of steam, which

(12:08):
gradually congealed in the cold winter.

Speaker 10 (12:10):
Air, into the body of a woman with.

Speaker 11 (12:14):
Corded arms like the feet of some preensile bird, and
huge talons built.

Speaker 4 (12:18):
To rip and tear.

Speaker 11 (12:21):
Within the week, I felt myself again, so much myself
that one morning, when we heard well this time I
resolved that I should go along with my father.

Speaker 12 (12:32):
Ah, it is bitter cold and the snow makes heavy
going her mother.

Speaker 4 (12:38):
Are you sure you are up to this?

Speaker 11 (12:41):
I'm fine now, father, and I want at least one
glimpse of this white wolf of yours.

Speaker 12 (12:47):
Not mine, till I put a bullet through its head.

Speaker 10 (12:51):
Father, Why must we stay buried in this wilderness?

Speaker 11 (12:54):
Why don't we forget the wolf in this rough life
and go back to Coburg.

Speaker 12 (12:59):
Is not the first time you have asked the question,
nor the last.

Speaker 4 (13:03):
Very well, you are old enough to know.

Speaker 12 (13:06):
Let us get out of the wind and under the
protection of the trees, and while we build a fire
to warm the soup Marcella sent with us, I will
tell you the truth at last. I have tried to
bury the secret, but you are of age. You have
a right to know. You already remember that this is

(13:29):
not our home. That we are from Transylvania.

Speaker 11 (13:31):
I remember the long journey here after our mother died.

Speaker 12 (13:34):
She she did not die, son, she was killed. I
killed her. What In both happier days, I was steward
to the Margrave. I was my lord's most trusted servant,
successful and.

Speaker 4 (13:53):
Happy, and in return he had all my.

Speaker 12 (13:55):
Faith and loyalty until that terrible night when I returned
unexpectedly from a mission he had sent me on to
find him with your mother, who was so beautiful and
I thought so innocent.

Speaker 4 (14:09):
My reaction was immediate.

Speaker 12 (14:11):
Before I knew it, my gun had resounded twice, and
both of them were dead. No use to try to
tell authorities the propagation to murder such an eminent man
had no justification in their eyes, nor in the laws
of that feudal state. I gathered all my money and
the three of you children, and fled to this retreat

(14:33):
where we live now. Herman, Herman, that is the way
of it. Blame me or not, as you will. I
carried the burden of it on my shoulders. Sure that
Almighty God will visit me someday with the punishment I
have tried so hard to avoid.

Speaker 4 (14:51):
But what is that.

Speaker 11 (14:56):
Through the trees, just beyond the turn that comes into
this clearing the white wolf?

Speaker 4 (15:01):
My gun don't enough. I have a beat on it already.
I may have better luck than you. Father. Don't move, wait,
wait till you see it clear, and make.

Speaker 11 (15:14):
Sure I have her right in my sight. Her Marcella
thinks the wolf is a female. And now, why would
you knock the gun in.

Speaker 12 (15:26):
The air, Herman, don't you see it is not a
wolf who comes to us.

Speaker 4 (15:31):
It is a woman, and a beautiful one at that.

Speaker 8 (15:39):
How fortunate that young Hermann did not kill this lovely
woman who had materialized as though out of nowhere, or
would it have been, in hindsight, so terrible a thing.
Let's wait for the woman to declare herself first before
we judge. I shall be back shortly with that too.

(16:11):
For a moment, Hermann and his father are transfixed, the
older man by the dark beauty of the woman, who,
even stumbling and reeling from exhaustion, manages to retain an
air of grace.

Speaker 1 (16:24):
The younger man appalled that but.

Speaker 8 (16:27):
For his father's hastily flung arm that allowed the carefully
aimed gun to discharge harmlessly in the air, he might
have ended her life. Then, suddenly, coming out of shock,
both men rushed to her, aid.

Speaker 4 (16:41):
Are you all right, Freudine, just tired and frozen?

Speaker 19 (16:48):
My father?

Speaker 4 (16:49):
Come to the fire and warm yourself. Where is your father?

Speaker 25 (16:53):
The horse stumbled and we were both thrown from it,
high landed in the snow. But my father, he must
have hid his head on a rock. I couldn't rouse him,
and our horse ran away.

Speaker 4 (17:05):
You stay with my father and I'll see to yours.

Speaker 11 (17:11):
I ran quickly into the forest by the path from
which she had appeared. Racing through the twists and turns,
I seemed to be in some enchanted palace, the snow laden.

Speaker 4 (17:21):
Trees frozen by the cold.

Speaker 11 (17:23):
Forming a shimmering, otherworldly ceiling over my head.

Speaker 4 (17:27):
Before I knew.

Speaker 11 (17:27):
It, I was slithering and slipping into a declivity. Lying
at the bottom, facing me was the figure of a man,
richly dressed in a velvet tunic overlaid with a magnificent
cape trimmed in fur.

Speaker 4 (17:41):
Sir, I think I must have been standing a moment.
Never mind that my daughter. I have no fear, Sir.

Speaker 11 (17:52):
She's with my father, not over two hundred yards from here.
She found us and sent us to your aid.

Speaker 13 (17:57):
Oh, thanks be to God. We were both at the
end of our teather.

Speaker 4 (18:03):
Krantz. Did you say your name was Yaman?

Speaker 13 (18:06):
Here your father could not make any chance be their home?

Speaker 4 (18:12):
Krantz, Yes, that's his name. Ah, it must be fate.

Speaker 15 (18:16):
Ah.

Speaker 13 (18:17):
Help me to my feet, boy, and and to my horse.
Then lead me to my daughter and your father.

Speaker 11 (18:27):
And that is how we discovered and brought Manfred of
Barnsdorff and his daughter Christina into our home and into
our lives. From the beginning, our father was enchanted with
her silvery voice and her ethereal beauty, and of course
by the common heritage that we shared with Manfred.

Speaker 13 (18:48):
It is fortunate that we found you hunting.

Speaker 12 (18:51):
I was only lured outside in pursuit of a large
white wolf which has been haunting our premises.

Speaker 4 (18:55):
Of late Ah. Yes, our quarters are small.

Speaker 12 (18:59):
But you are welcome to shelter here for as long
as it takes you to recover.

Speaker 4 (19:03):
You said you come from Pennsylvania.

Speaker 13 (19:06):
Even so, mine heir, I was a chamberlain in the
service of the House of Vernagan.

Speaker 12 (19:11):
Even as I once was to the mygrave of Bittersteiner.
But why would you leave such a fine position.

Speaker 4 (19:20):
You may well ask.

Speaker 13 (19:22):
My master conceived a desire for my daughter, not as
legal wife, but simply to use for his pleasure, and
it ended up by my giving him a few inches
of my hunting knife.

Speaker 12 (19:36):
Then we are brothers in misfortune, my dear sir brother, indeed,
and you need not renew your grief by telling me
your story, which I know only too well.

Speaker 14 (19:47):
We are comrades in misfortune.

Speaker 12 (19:50):
Well, you shall make this your home as long as
you desire, did.

Speaker 10 (19:54):
You hear Marcella?

Speaker 11 (19:55):
Yes, brother, it seems our family is to be in large.

Speaker 18 (20:01):
I pray not why, I don't know. I cannot bear
to look on that woman. For all her beauty, she
frightens me.

Speaker 11 (20:13):
So, although I was fascinated with Christina, some deep chord
in me echoed Marcella's fear. Yet it seemed unreasonable, for
Christina was a lovely woman, her features classically molded. Her
mouth was a dark red, startlingly vivid against the pastel

(20:34):
of her other color, and somewhat larger when it was open,
revealing the most brilliantly white teeth I have ever beheld.

Speaker 4 (20:44):
I'll never forget the night I heard my father.

Speaker 11 (20:47):
And Manfred talking together, almost a month after they had
come to live with us. If it is Christina's will,
of course, you may have my daughter's hand in marriage,
and I I shall leave you now that my head
as men didn't find habitation elsewhere.

Speaker 4 (21:05):
Why not remain here? Manfred?

Speaker 13 (21:07):
No, No, I am called elsewhere.

Speaker 14 (21:09):
But are you let what I say? Suffice ask?

Speaker 26 (21:14):
No?

Speaker 4 (21:14):
More questions. You may have my child.

Speaker 12 (21:17):
I thank you for her truly and will duly value her.
There is, however, one difficulty.

Speaker 14 (21:24):
I can guess what you would say.

Speaker 13 (21:26):
There is no priest here in this wild country, nor
is there lord to bind. Still they must pass between
you some ceremony to satisfy your father, of course, But
what whether you consent to marry her after my fashion?
Yes I will, Then I shall marry you directly, Christina?

Speaker 27 (21:49):
Yes, father, I wish.

Speaker 28 (21:51):
You in here directly.

Speaker 4 (21:54):
I will get my children.

Speaker 15 (21:56):
No need.

Speaker 13 (21:57):
This is amongst us, Elder.

Speaker 29 (22:00):
What is your wish?

Speaker 22 (22:01):
Father?

Speaker 14 (22:02):
Less my wish than yours?

Speaker 13 (22:05):
You wish to marry Wilhelm Ah?

Speaker 25 (22:09):
If it is his wish, it is my dearest one.

Speaker 4 (22:13):
Then come take hands? What's that your wedding march?

Speaker 27 (22:19):
You have her hand?

Speaker 4 (22:20):
Yes?

Speaker 13 (22:21):
Then swear by all the spirits of the heart's mountains.

Speaker 4 (22:25):
I swear, But why not by heaven?

Speaker 30 (22:27):
Because it is not my humor? If I prefer an
oath less binding?

Speaker 9 (22:33):
Will you deny me?

Speaker 4 (22:34):
Do you want me to swear by what I do
not believe?

Speaker 21 (22:37):
Will you be married?

Speaker 13 (22:38):
Or shall I take my daughter away with me?

Speaker 4 (22:41):
What will you have me swear?

Speaker 30 (22:44):
Swear by all the spirits of the Hearts mountains, by.

Speaker 27 (22:49):
All their power for good and.

Speaker 13 (22:51):
Evil, that you take Christina to be your lawful wedded wife,
that you will protect her, cherish her, and love her,
that your hand shall never be raised against her to
harm her.

Speaker 4 (23:05):
I solemnly swear.

Speaker 30 (23:08):
And swear that if you fail in this bow, may
all the vengeance of the spirits fall upon you and
your children, may their flesh be torn from their limbs
and their bones blanch in the wilderness.

Speaker 4 (23:22):
And that to this oath you pledge their blood.

Speaker 10 (23:27):
Swear, I swear.

Speaker 11 (23:38):
Such was the second marriage of my father. From the
inner room of the cottage, peering through a crack in
the door, we three children watched, I with an arm
about Caesar, who was struck dumb, and my sister Marcella,
who was trembling from hand to foot with fright and despair.

(23:59):
The next morning, our life with our stepmother began.

Speaker 25 (24:03):
Marcella, come here at once, Yes, Marcella.

Speaker 19 (24:09):
I'm sorry, I yes, who? Yes?

Speaker 31 (24:15):
Mother?

Speaker 25 (24:17):
You find it so difficult to say yes?

Speaker 19 (24:19):
No, I mean just strange.

Speaker 29 (24:24):
How do you mean strange?

Speaker 20 (24:27):
Just that that.

Speaker 18 (24:28):
My real mother has been I mean we have had
no mother for so long that it's hard to say.

Speaker 25 (24:37):
You will learn to say it and to treat me
as one, and to obey me, all of you.

Speaker 29 (24:44):
And when I call, I want you to come quicker.

Speaker 20 (24:47):
I'm sorry, sorry, who, I'm sorry?

Speaker 19 (24:52):
Mother? I was preparing a supre that.

Speaker 29 (24:56):
Told you to do that?

Speaker 19 (24:58):
Why? No one but I always.

Speaker 25 (25:00):
From now on, I will be in charge of what
we eat. You will cook and clean and wash the
dishes and do the household jaws. But I decide what
we eat and how we eat it.

Speaker 19 (25:14):
Yes, mother, that's better.

Speaker 25 (25:19):
Now you can prepare the vegetables and set the table.
I will prepare the meat.

Speaker 10 (25:30):
Wake up?

Speaker 4 (25:32):
What is it? It's oh the stepmother.

Speaker 18 (25:37):
She's gone out, gone out, yes, gone out the door,
and in her night clothes.

Speaker 4 (25:46):
Are you sure in.

Speaker 11 (25:48):
This winter weather not dressed with snow on the ground.
Oh lord, there's a wolf. Shall be torn to pieces.
But apparently she bore a charmed life. For a few
minutes later we watched her return, still in her night dress.
She went to a pail of water and washed her

(26:09):
hands and face carefully, and returned to bed. All this,
I may say, I watched as in a dream, for
my fever was coming back on me. So much so
I had to take to my bed again, and through
the days was able to watch how cruel and demanding
my stepmother was to Marcella and Caesar, and to learn

(26:32):
that every night, the moon now being full, she stole
outside in her night dress.

Speaker 26 (26:38):
To row.

Speaker 19 (26:40):
Man, wake up, how a, wake up?

Speaker 4 (26:43):
Yes, I'm awake. I'm awake.

Speaker 19 (26:45):
Give me for bothering you when you were sick. But
I'm almost out.

Speaker 32 (26:48):
Of my mind.

Speaker 4 (26:49):
But what is it, dear sister her her again?

Speaker 18 (26:53):
She's out prowling the night, and it's bitter cold with
the snow coming down.

Speaker 19 (26:57):
It's not human.

Speaker 20 (27:00):
Listen to that.

Speaker 4 (27:02):
I'm almost ready to pray. The wolves might get her.

Speaker 20 (27:05):
They'll never get her. It isn't wolves.

Speaker 10 (27:09):
Only one.

Speaker 20 (27:12):
I looked out of the window. The moon is full
and high.

Speaker 18 (27:16):
It's that special one, the white wolf.

Speaker 10 (27:23):
And fired that shot.

Speaker 29 (27:24):
He must have been Caesar.

Speaker 18 (27:25):
Caesar, Yes, he knew you were sick, and he's been
bragging to me how he could take your place and
guard us all.

Speaker 19 (27:31):
Oh, that's why I woke you. Somehow he follows her
into the night.

Speaker 4 (27:36):
Well, at least he seems to have driven off the wolf. Marcella.
Marcella helped me out of bed.

Speaker 19 (27:41):
No, you have a fever, and I.

Speaker 10 (27:45):
What's that shitter?

Speaker 18 (27:48):
Ah dress all bloody and she's alone. But where, oh,
dear sweet god, where is our little brother?

Speaker 4 (28:09):
Behind the door.

Speaker 8 (28:10):
The watching girl suddenly feels the blood drained from her head,
and a wave of faintness makes her reach for support
in the room outside.

Speaker 4 (28:21):
The woman turns, moving.

Speaker 8 (28:24):
Silently to her bedroom, her wide mouth open in a
caricature of a smile. There is blood on her gleaming teeth.
I shall return shortly with Act three.

Speaker 15 (28:48):
The moon is.

Speaker 8 (28:49):
Now obscured by dark clouds heavy with snow. Outside the cabin,
the snow is pouring down, and what might be a
small figure dark against the snow has now become only
a minor unevenness in the white carpet. Inside the cottage, Marcella,

(29:10):
noticing her brother's weakness, has gone to his aid.

Speaker 19 (29:13):
Herman, brother, let me help you lie down?

Speaker 4 (29:16):
No, no, no, no, I'm all right.

Speaker 10 (29:19):
You watch her? What is she doing now?

Speaker 20 (29:23):
She's going into their bedroom?

Speaker 9 (29:26):
Wait?

Speaker 4 (29:28):
Who is it?

Speaker 29 (29:29):
Lie still, dearest, It's only me. I have lighted the
fire to warm some water. I'm not quite well what.

Speaker 4 (29:35):
I'll get up to, Sina, No need.

Speaker 29 (29:39):
It's nothing I can manage myself.

Speaker 10 (29:43):
Tell me what is she doing now?

Speaker 20 (29:45):
Stirring up the fire? And now she is changing her
linen and ah, right, leg is bleeding, as if with
the wit.

Speaker 11 (29:54):
Let me see for myself. As I watched in horror,
half supported by my little sister, I saw the wound
in her leg. There was no mistaking that a bullet
had grazed her. I fought back the red mist that
was beginning to swim before my eyes long enough to
see her remove those parts of clothing that were stained with.

Speaker 4 (30:16):
Blood and burn them in the fire. After bandaging her leg.

Speaker 11 (30:21):
Then she sat huddled before the flames. The last thing
I saw was her wiping her lips daintily and plastering
the kerchief.

Speaker 4 (30:31):
Into the roaring blades.

Speaker 11 (30:36):
When I woke up, Marcella was sitting in a chair
by my bed, all right, herman, Ah, yes, yes, I
feel better, but weak.

Speaker 19 (30:47):
The the fever's gone.

Speaker 4 (30:49):
You were with me all.

Speaker 20 (30:50):
Night, Yes, I was afraid to go to bed. She's
still sitting there in front of the fire.

Speaker 4 (31:00):
And Caesar did he come back? No?

Speaker 18 (31:05):
He never returned. Oh hem, where is he? How was
she wounded? Unless it was from his gun? And if
that's how she was wounded, then that means the cheese
had morning.

Speaker 4 (31:21):
Christina, my dear, you're up and about early.

Speaker 29 (31:23):
I thought to make your breakfast.

Speaker 4 (31:25):
Why where is Marcella and the boy?

Speaker 33 (31:28):
Quick?

Speaker 4 (31:28):
Go ask him? Where is Caesar?

Speaker 12 (31:30):
All right, Oh, there you are, Marcella. What are you
doing in Hermann's room?

Speaker 10 (31:36):
If you please?

Speaker 19 (31:36):
Father? Her Man has the fever again. He cannot rise
from his bed. Where is my little brother Caesar?

Speaker 4 (31:43):
Is he not in his room?

Speaker 19 (31:45):
No, his bed has not been slept in, and he
is nowhere in the house.

Speaker 25 (31:49):
Merciful heavens, perhaps that's what brought me. I was restless
and not feeling well, and I thought I heard the
door lad's opening. But when I came out, the room
was empty.

Speaker 29 (32:02):
Why with the boot?

Speaker 12 (32:04):
What is it, Christina, my dear husband, Nothing, I hope,
but your gun is missing.

Speaker 29 (32:13):
It's no longer hanging over the chimney.

Speaker 18 (32:16):
Father, Papa, I thought I heard the white wolf last.

Speaker 4 (32:20):
Night, and hush, child, a little boy.

Speaker 11 (32:23):
Christina had me my broad axe, leaning weakly against the door.

Speaker 4 (32:31):
I had heard and.

Speaker 11 (32:32):
Seen all this, And when my father went out without
another word. In the short while he was gone, I
was able to dress myself so that I was just
coming out into the main room as he returned.

Speaker 12 (32:46):
Oh, clear the table, Christina, So I may lay him down.

Speaker 34 (32:51):
Yes, husband, I stopped your weeping girl and help her.

Speaker 29 (32:56):
You may put him down, now, will him?

Speaker 12 (32:58):
Yes, poor broken little body, savaged and mangled.

Speaker 25 (33:06):
The boy must have taken you a gun down and
gone after some wolf.

Speaker 29 (33:10):
That the animal was too powerful.

Speaker 20 (33:12):
For him, poor child.

Speaker 29 (33:15):
A dear price to pay for such rations.

Speaker 11 (33:24):
For three days, while the family mourned, I lay in
a stupor. You see, my days and nights were filled
with fever dreams through which a great white wolf ran, snarling,
slashing at me with gleaming white fangs. Waking sometimes I
seemed to see my stepmother's face floating above me, and

(33:47):
through my twisting fever tossings, again and again, with the
looming of night beneath my window about the house, I
heard the growl of a wolf, Till one day I
came back to my senses to find Marcella sitting beside me,
holding my hand.

Speaker 20 (34:05):
Oh you're awake.

Speaker 19 (34:09):
Can I get you something?

Speaker 4 (34:10):
No?

Speaker 11 (34:11):
No, I'm all right again, I think, Well.

Speaker 4 (34:17):
How long have I been?

Speaker 19 (34:19):
Almost a week?

Speaker 4 (34:21):
Are you all right?

Speaker 35 (34:23):
Yes?

Speaker 11 (34:25):
But Caesar, oh, I seem to remember them, Marcella.

Speaker 19 (34:29):
He's dead, brother, Dear.

Speaker 18 (34:33):
Every day I've wanted to go to his grave and pray.
Papa has kept us all here.

Speaker 19 (34:38):
In morning.

Speaker 18 (34:40):
Today Father went at my constant, urging to make sure
that all was well.

Speaker 4 (34:45):
And was it.

Speaker 19 (34:47):
He hasn't returned.

Speaker 4 (34:48):
Yet, and the stepmother.

Speaker 25 (34:50):
I'll be glad to know that I'm in the best
of ill. I'm sorry if we are in this position,
you must.

Speaker 11 (34:58):
Be very weak, thank you, But I'll soon have my
strength back. Doctor Baum is due to return soon. He'll
have me on my feet in no time. For that matter,
I feel fine now.

Speaker 36 (35:11):
Everyone in Herman's room, herman machine Christina.

Speaker 12 (35:16):
That those wolves sepeptition take their whole species, have contrived
to dig up my poor boy, and there is nothing
left but his bones.

Speaker 25 (35:24):
Oh no, no, that's impossible, Not so, Papa.

Speaker 19 (35:28):
A wolf growls under our window every night.

Speaker 4 (35:31):
Why didn't you tell me, Mysella, you wake me the
next time you hear it.

Speaker 29 (35:34):
I will, it will help.

Speaker 25 (35:36):
Hermon is much better and everything is under control here.
But you, poor husband, you've had such a shock.

Speaker 29 (35:44):
Come away with me. Let me soothe you.

Speaker 4 (35:47):
In your green How could they have moved those stones.
What were you going to say to father?

Speaker 18 (35:53):
I was going to say that all this week while
you lay in fever, and Father mourned every.

Speaker 19 (35:59):
Night with her.

Speaker 18 (36:00):
Fail She left after midnight and was gone till early
morning hours.

Speaker 19 (36:07):
Where do you think she went?

Speaker 11 (36:10):
I shudder to imagine. But one thing I do know,
you or I could be next. We must get away
from here.

Speaker 20 (36:16):
It cannot be too soon for me, the moment you
are strong enough.

Speaker 4 (36:19):
Yes, I agree. Until then we must stay together always, except.

Speaker 18 (36:23):
When Papa is in the house. We we are safe
with him, but he could be in danger too.

Speaker 4 (36:30):
Well.

Speaker 11 (36:30):
It's a danger he'll have to face. Perhaps this is
his retribution for killing our mother. Remember I told.

Speaker 18 (36:37):
You, yes, But first we must think of you, and
then when the time comes, we will do what has
to be done.

Speaker 4 (36:48):
When the time comes.

Speaker 11 (36:51):
Oh, bitterly, I blame myself for not moving immediately as.

Speaker 4 (36:54):
I should have.

Speaker 11 (36:56):
Doctor Boum arrived suddenly, just as I had a remission
of my fevers and my weakness. I was still a bed,
but ready to rise, more ready, I suppose, than the
good doctor realized. Else I would never have heard his
fatal words.

Speaker 13 (37:15):
These anemic conditions are kind of cancer of the blood
for which there is no known cure. It some colleagues
leaned to the name leukemia, but even in the enlightened
eighteenth century, we have no way to stop it from
being terminal.

Speaker 4 (37:32):
How long who knows?

Speaker 13 (37:35):
Exactly a week, a month, and certainly not much longer,
probably sooner than later.

Speaker 11 (37:45):
I stumbled away from inside the front door, where I
had been listening.

Speaker 4 (37:49):
I fell on my bed and wept.

Speaker 11 (37:52):
Why Why had God singled me out for this fate?

Speaker 4 (37:58):
By that very night I was to know.

Speaker 11 (38:01):
It was shortly before twilight when the doctor left. An hour,
perhaps a little longer, had passed when suddenly I was
summoned out of my melancholy.

Speaker 28 (38:11):
By Marcella's.

Speaker 6 (38:16):
Father.

Speaker 7 (38:17):
Where is she?

Speaker 4 (38:18):
She went out to pick some herbs for you.

Speaker 10 (38:19):
No, I don't mean my sister.

Speaker 37 (38:21):
I mean your wife.

Speaker 4 (38:22):
Christina ut walking.

Speaker 10 (38:24):
Not Christina.

Speaker 4 (38:26):
She is the white wolf. Don't you know what?

Speaker 12 (38:29):
You married her and herm and my poor boy, you
are under the influence of a fever.

Speaker 38 (38:34):
You don't know what you're saying? Oh don't I Well,
look there there you see a damn white wolf. Give
me my gun.

Speaker 9 (38:46):
What is it?

Speaker 4 (38:46):
Christina? What is it?

Speaker 19 (38:47):
Did you see a white wolf.

Speaker 28 (38:49):
Yes, but what is it?

Speaker 29 (38:52):
It's too horrible to think of Marcella. Oh no, no, no,
I can't say it.

Speaker 4 (39:00):
Not dead.

Speaker 25 (39:02):
I'm afraid so my loving stepson. That wolf has torn
her to pieces.

Speaker 11 (39:14):
For several days, I thought my father would never recover
from the shock of losing his second child.

Speaker 4 (39:20):
I was numb myself.

Speaker 11 (39:23):
Together we buried her, although it was two days before
he could bear to consign.

Speaker 10 (39:28):
My Cella to what he called her last resting place.

Speaker 11 (39:34):
If only that could have been true. But the monster
was not yet satisfied, nor was I. On the third
night after my sister was buried, I watched that foul
woman or whatever she wants, rise and leave the house.

Speaker 4 (39:53):
Immediately I went and wakened my father. Who is it?
Said Iman, father, you come with me. Where are we going?
What are you doing with my gun?

Speaker 11 (40:02):
I'm going to kill the white wolf, but first I
want you to see her for what she really is.
It was bright on the right as I led my
father to my sister's grave, and there, too, ghastly to relate,
was my stepmother in her white nightgown, tearing away the

(40:24):
stones piled above the grave.

Speaker 10 (40:26):
She was frantic with haste.

Speaker 11 (40:28):
In a moment, she was in the grave and ready
to rend the sweet flesh apart with her hands, ready
to devour it.

Speaker 38 (40:35):
Oh, great God in heaven, your wife, or what passes
for one?

Speaker 11 (40:41):
See what you sold yourself and us two?

Speaker 4 (40:45):
This time I will.

Speaker 11 (40:46):
Make sure there is no miss.

Speaker 10 (40:51):
She dropped like a stone, a pullet through her head.

Speaker 4 (40:54):
We rushed to the grave.

Speaker 11 (40:56):
But imagine our horror to find lying cross the remains
of my dead sister, not my stepmother.

Speaker 21 (41:03):
But the body.

Speaker 10 (41:04):
I'm a large white wolf.

Speaker 3 (41:08):
What have you done to my daughter?

Speaker 9 (41:11):
Will help?

Speaker 4 (41:12):
Where is she? Where she should be?

Speaker 38 (41:14):
Monfor of punstaff, where fiends belong in hell?

Speaker 39 (41:17):
I hope remember your own that you would never have her.

Speaker 37 (41:22):
I made no compact with evil spirit.

Speaker 39 (41:24):
You did, and if you failed in your vow, your
children were to meet the vengeance of the spirits, to
perish and their bones blanch in the wilderness, as your
shall do for what you have done to my daughter.

Speaker 3 (41:42):
A bullet for a bullet.

Speaker 4 (41:46):
But my daughter is immortal.

Speaker 39 (41:48):
And will recur revenge on the last of your blood.

Speaker 11 (41:53):
Christine, weakness was upon me again, and I watched transfixed as.

Speaker 4 (42:04):
In a flare of lightning.

Speaker 11 (42:05):
The body of the wolf twitched and then dissolved in
a blinding white light, out.

Speaker 4 (42:10):
Of which Christina appeared.

Speaker 11 (42:13):
Taking her father's hands, she leapt up behind him on
the horse, her voice carrying on the wind as they disappeared.

Speaker 19 (42:20):
I will be back for you, Heaven, never fear, I
will be there.

Speaker 11 (42:34):
Somehow I brought my father home to die, and somehow
I buried him beside my sister and my brother. Then
the fever overwhelmed me. I lie now in my bed,
weak and helpless, waiting for her to come. The white Wolf,
the glistening teeth beared, the fangs, ready to sink into

(42:56):
my throat and slay her insatiable thirst on the blood
which first attracted her to this mountain cottage.

Speaker 4 (43:04):
I wait in eager anticipation.

Speaker 11 (43:08):
No bullet, no dagger, no mortal means could damage this
white Wolf. Only the tainted blood which flows through my veins,
and so by an ironic twist of the almighty, will
bring her to the death she so richly deserves. Cameleon,

(43:30):
come sink your fangs and drink my blood, so that
in dying I can send you to.

Speaker 7 (43:36):
Burn to hell all eternity.

Speaker 8 (43:47):
Do you feel a shudder? Run through you an icy
wave of distaste. Chill is spine. The chance you take,
you know, when I open that door and you in,
I promise you a gripping tale, not always a nice one.
But if you've listened to this late at night, sleep easy.

(44:11):
The White Wolf is dead.

Speaker 4 (44:14):
I shall be back shortly.

Speaker 8 (44:26):
I know there is a move afoot to persuade us
that the wolf is a much maligned creature, that he
is a loving, a good companion, and never kills except
for food and sustenance. I'm sure it may be so,
but I'll take it on faith. I don't want to
prove it by testing the theory personally. Every time I

(44:48):
hear a wolf howl, which is not often, I'm glad
to say, I'm tempted to revert to childhood and hide
my head under the nearest blanket. O cast included Norman Rose,
Christopher Tabori, Jada Rowland and Shepherd, and Paul Tripp. The
entire production was under the direction of Hyman Brown and

(45:12):
now a preview of our next tale.

Speaker 40 (45:15):
But I learned everything I had to about old Jerry
and his late night lunch hour, and sure enough, Jerry
was busy eating and I.

Speaker 19 (45:24):
Hit him over the head.

Speaker 4 (45:25):
You hit him over the head?

Speaker 2 (45:27):
Eh?

Speaker 7 (45:27):
Yes, tell me, Lydia, what did you.

Speaker 40 (45:31):
Hit him with his own walking stick? That heavy wooden
cane that he carries. It was lying on the floor
behind him and I picked it up. And oh, really
paying attention to me? Now, aren't you sheriff? Oh, Lydia,
I can't believe that the walking stick you found blood
on it?

Speaker 19 (45:51):
Well, how would I know.

Speaker 40 (45:52):
That that walking stick was there if I hadn't used it?

Speaker 4 (45:55):
Lydia, I know you since you was a little baby.
I just won't believe you would come in.

Speaker 40 (46:02):
If I wasn't the one sheriff. How would I know
where the money is?

Missus e g.

Speaker 8 (46:12):
Marshall inviting you to return to our Mystery Theater for
another adventure in the macabre. Until next time, pleasant dream.

Speaker 41 (47:00):
I am a voice that no man on earth has
ever heard before. I am not of this world, but
no man hearing my voice knows whether I truly live

(47:22):
or whether I am a thing of the imagination, a
thing of dreams. You will hear my story in a
moment on two vows and plus listen.

Speaker 42 (47:55):
Vows us us.

Speaker 7 (48:04):
Adventures in the World of tomorrow. Dramatic stories of science
fiction from the years beyond two thousand.

Speaker 43 (48:13):
A d.

Speaker 4 (48:23):
Today.

Speaker 7 (48:23):
The story of a horrible nightmare. It wouldn't stop even
when the dreamer woke up. A story called a green Thing.

(48:46):
It is the year two thousand plus one seventy five.
It is lady me, and all is peaceful and quiet.
In doctor Harvey Clendon Sanitarium outside on a vast estate
that stretches away from the main building. There are only
the soft country noises, the wind sighing in the trees,

(49:07):
the shrill chirpings of innumerable crickets in the world furnished rooms,
the patients sleep stretched out on comfortable methaces and clean
white seats. The country breezes swinging over their forms. In
Room thirty two P's, mister Summers sleeps peacefully with his
head on a fluffy pillow. He sleeps and he dreams coming.

Speaker 4 (49:34):
Way.

Speaker 7 (49:42):
So, in the light of the growing psychological problems facing
our nation, the government has sent me to you, doctor Glendon,
to enlist your aide, since you're the country's outstanding psychiatrists.
While I'm honored indeed, mister Carling, But I don't know
there's much I can tell you about the advancement of
psychiatric research. It isn't being published in the medical journalist. Well,
doctor Glendon, isn't there anything that you're working on now?

(50:05):
Something definite? I know you're a cautious.

Speaker 4 (50:08):
Scholar, but altimistic Collie.

Speaker 44 (50:09):
It isn't possible to announce sweeping new generalizations in our
kind of science. Our work is painstaking, complex, highly subjective.
Indication of one of the patients here in the sanitarium, Oh, Beddy,
did you bring our records to mister Summons. Summons is
about forty forty one. He was admitted five months ago
suffering from a melancholia the record, Oh, thanks, Eddy.

Speaker 7 (50:33):
How as you can see from these notations, he's been
feeling much.

Speaker 4 (50:35):
Better the past few weeks. Yes, I see, until.

Speaker 44 (50:40):
Last night when he suddenly woke up screaming in his bed.
He was being attacked, he shouted by some sort of
green devil. We had the hardest, yeah, getting him under control.

Speaker 26 (50:50):
Now.

Speaker 4 (50:51):
In the past, Summers had spoken quite often of.

Speaker 44 (50:53):
A green hat that he lost as a child. His father,
he remembered that punished him severely for losing it.

Speaker 4 (50:58):
In later life.

Speaker 7 (51:00):
And this is all very interesting, but you can hardly
call this dream analysis anything new. Yes, it has been
known for centuries. Well, and I don't understand, mister Carling.
I know why you came to see me. Apparently I
haven't been able to keep my achievement.

Speaker 4 (51:15):
As secret as i'd hoped. That's right, Sick. We've heard
rumors all, mister Carling.

Speaker 7 (51:22):
I've said that mister Summer's dream is very unusual. How
would you like to see it? I mean, see his
dream exactly.

Speaker 44 (51:31):
I'm going to show you a motion picture of mister
Smmer's dreams photograph from the subconscious mind, exactly as he
dreamed it. I attached special nerve electrodes, and these electrodes

(51:54):
pick up the current impulses of the brains, and these
impulses are transmuted back into pictures film of the machines.
Really very similar to the method of wireless photography. Oh fine,
thank y, A projector cube is ready. I just place
the dream wheel in it and.

Speaker 7 (52:15):
Hold on your hat. Mister Darling, you're going to see
an actual green.

Speaker 45 (52:24):
Yes, yes, very well, mister Klapper, three slices of lemon drops?
Will do you think? I don't see him putting the
pennies in his pocket when he knows they belong to me.
Three slices of lemon droption, This little boy, I'm not
a little boy, Klapper, and you know it. I'm all
grown up and I don't come to your store anymore.

(52:44):
I don't even live here anymore. And you steal pennies,
all right, No, I get out, knock the boy, take
your lemon drops, get out.

Speaker 4 (52:51):
Help music.

Speaker 45 (52:55):
I didn't know Klaper had music in his store.

Speaker 7 (52:57):
I don't like his music.

Speaker 45 (52:59):
I'll slam his door. I'll go out in the street.
Now there won't be any more penny stealing music. Oh
what's that? It won't go away, It won't go away, Summers.
I am calling you that power.

Speaker 46 (53:22):
It's it's green.

Speaker 45 (53:25):
It's a monster with great pink eyes on long stalks.
It's standing in front of me.

Speaker 26 (53:30):
It has claws.

Speaker 4 (53:32):
You're not the little boy anymore, Summers.

Speaker 45 (53:35):
Oh no, no, don't touch me with your claws.

Speaker 41 (53:37):
Come with me now, Summers, you are mine.

Speaker 4 (53:42):
You belong to me.

Speaker 45 (53:44):
Oh no, no, you're touching me.

Speaker 17 (53:46):
Don't Lord, God help me help me play.

Speaker 7 (53:55):
Then he got to him at that moment, the dream
machine shut up? Some dream What effect will the discovery
of this dream machine have on psychiatric research? Doctor Glenton, Well,
I've only just perfected it about four or five months ago.
I've got reps forty or fifty photographed dreams in that file.

Speaker 4 (54:12):
Forty or fifty. Yeah.

Speaker 44 (54:14):
However, as far as developing new techniques and treatment, maybe
years before I can get them analyzed and correlated so
that overall theories can be drawn from them.

Speaker 7 (54:22):
As long as that.

Speaker 44 (54:23):
So all you understand, mister Carling, why it's a little
difficult for me. Don't answer your questions. That dream was fascinating.
I've never seen anything like it.

Speaker 4 (54:32):
A doctor.

Speaker 7 (54:33):
I know I'm presuming on your time, but I'd like
to see just one more. I'll have to report on
needs at the government bureau. Well, only one more, though,
I'm sorry, but I'm quite busy.

Speaker 9 (54:42):
What about this one here?

Speaker 4 (54:44):
The purple tag?

Speaker 7 (54:45):
What's that for?

Speaker 44 (54:47):
I haven't seen that one myself yet. Purple tag means
it from the violent ward mister rume Hm, sick man.
While we'll try it, that.

Speaker 26 (55:04):
Re what much?

Speaker 4 (55:08):
How do you do?

Speaker 9 (55:09):
Missus camp.

Speaker 47 (55:12):
Or I'm climbing a wall and it's only to us
warm me me, I'm a.

Speaker 9 (55:22):
Don't think that.

Speaker 44 (55:25):
Much sense of that, you British, I'm afraid. Well, it's
a difficult case. Homicidal tendencies. Comes from a good family.
He was a very successful business man.

Speaker 26 (55:37):
I am Can.

Speaker 7 (55:39):
You do anything for him?

Speaker 3 (55:40):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (55:40):
I think so?

Speaker 44 (55:41):
Are at times when he can be reached lucid moments,
and some of his dreams provide clues scarcely now.

Speaker 46 (55:48):
Seventy for that shall.

Speaker 16 (55:55):
You're not frightening me?

Speaker 7 (55:56):
Are you read?

Speaker 18 (55:57):
You can't scare met?

Speaker 7 (56:06):
Doctor, Look on the screen.

Speaker 2 (56:08):
Look there is again that green thing.

Speaker 26 (56:13):
It can't be.

Speaker 7 (56:14):
It's impossibly people can't perfectly have the same dream.

Speaker 44 (56:29):
I don't understand it, Betty, I can't understand. I've been
through all the records above them, Summers and Rock. There's
nothing in that background but caused them to have.

Speaker 7 (56:35):
The same dream. Are you sure they haven't been together?

Speaker 26 (56:38):
But some time?

Speaker 48 (56:39):
I'm hug with you, doctor, they haven't even met.

Speaker 22 (56:41):
Mister Rock came there only a month ago and he
was placed in the violand water immediately.

Speaker 2 (56:46):
He's never been out of it.

Speaker 44 (56:47):
It's possible for people to have similar dreams, yes, but
never the dream of the same unusual, horrible specific subject.

Speaker 7 (56:53):
Is that that green thing?

Speaker 44 (56:55):
Every detail was the same. The pink eye is the
claws makes me shudder my self. Betty, I want our
dream reels, all those I haven't seen.

Speaker 19 (57:03):
Oh no, you're not going to view them all if
it take.

Speaker 4 (57:06):
I don't care how long it takes.

Speaker 44 (57:08):
I want to see them all. I've got a funny
feeling inside, and I won't be at ease until I know,
until I'm sure sure what doctor Gren, sure that none
of the other patients have had that dream, that same.

Speaker 7 (57:20):
Horrible dream of that dream thing.

Speaker 19 (57:28):
Dream nine, missus Jorvin.

Speaker 48 (57:30):
Shall I put the sound on?

Speaker 7 (57:31):
Oh no, not necessary. We can see it if it appears.
No nothing here? Dream ten, that's Fnham, No nothing.

Speaker 49 (57:45):
I don't think we'll find anything.

Speaker 19 (57:47):
Doctor's been a freak a coincidence?

Speaker 7 (57:49):
Or keep going, keep going?

Speaker 19 (57:51):
Dream eleven, mister Craig.

Speaker 7 (57:59):
Dream twenty one, nothing there either. Dream twenty two.

Speaker 44 (58:05):
Huh, Maybe you're right, Betty. I'm beginning to thank myself.

Speaker 50 (58:09):
What do the grendom?

Speaker 23 (58:11):
Look there?

Speaker 15 (58:11):
It is a green thing?

Speaker 49 (58:18):
Two, mister Bradley, hould off the f hold it off?

Speaker 7 (58:24):
That's it again?

Speaker 9 (58:26):
A green thing?

Speaker 7 (58:32):
Or of them carling or dreams of that monstrous green thing?
Each one for a different patient, and each one during
the past week.

Speaker 4 (58:39):
Darling.

Speaker 44 (58:40):
There's something there, something to make even a psychiatrist feel quainted.

Speaker 4 (58:54):
Darling.

Speaker 7 (58:55):
The patients weren't having a dream. They couldn't be.

Speaker 44 (58:59):
They had nothing in common. But the fact that they're
in this sanitarium. Why even the nature of their illness
is a difference.

Speaker 7 (59:06):
Doctor, aren't you getting a little mixed up yourself?

Speaker 4 (59:08):
Uh? You saw those dreams?

Speaker 7 (59:10):
I saw them, Betty saw them.

Speaker 9 (59:13):
I know.

Speaker 4 (59:14):
It's incredible.

Speaker 7 (59:15):
Listen, to have a dream means that you create that dream,
you and nobody else. You mean you think the patients
didn't create those dreams. They're not their dreams.

Speaker 44 (59:25):
There is such a thing as thought projection, mental telepathy. Yeah,
why should anyone want that? One may have found out
about the dream. She may be jealousy, or grudge, or
a hatred of psychiatry in general. There are many reasons.
What we've got to do is to find out where
it's coming from.

Speaker 4 (59:45):
The patients must be protected.

Speaker 44 (59:47):
How First, we've got to find out whether this telepathy
is coming from inside or outside of the sanitarium, and
have got attract it down. I tell you, darling, whoever's
trying this terror by mental telepathy isn't going to I
get away with it. I Am not going to stand
by while a lifetime's work is destroyed by a campaign
of terror against my patients. Going to institute protective measures

(01:00:08):
at once?

Speaker 7 (01:00:19):
Anything yet, doctor, Now, I still have the Guardess screen
beamed on the area directly around the main building. I
don't expect to find anythies so close, but I want
to search every inch of the grounds. You still feel
whoever it is is on the grounds.

Speaker 44 (01:00:35):
Can't be sure of anything except that I'm convinced that
the staff is.

Speaker 4 (01:00:38):
Loyal, and I have a hunch that whoever is.

Speaker 44 (01:00:41):
Transmitting these thought waves and want to be close enough
to judge the results.

Speaker 7 (01:00:45):
Shall I bring the pass down now, Doctor Brendon? Oh yes, Betty,
go get them when you please.

Speaker 44 (01:00:50):
That's possible that they may be able to help us.
They may have felt currentseminating from a certain direction.

Speaker 7 (01:00:58):
I think the Goddess screen has reached its age limit,
doctor repeating itself. All right, I'll give it wider focus
going into the ground. Now, wait, there's something a figure
on the screen. Yeah, I see him, a club, a
stick or something.

Speaker 4 (01:01:19):
Who is a topic?

Speaker 9 (01:01:20):
Can you tell?

Speaker 4 (01:01:21):
I don't want to align him.

Speaker 7 (01:01:23):
I'll signal the patrol corps.

Speaker 51 (01:01:24):
But me is that red button on the wall, isn't it?

Speaker 26 (01:01:28):
Oh?

Speaker 7 (01:01:28):
No, calling never Lyne. That is one of the patrol corps.
I can see his arm, Ben.

Speaker 52 (01:01:34):
Good bed.

Speaker 7 (01:01:35):
I'll switch the machine to the north.

Speaker 2 (01:01:37):
Cringe.

Speaker 7 (01:01:41):
There's another figure.

Speaker 44 (01:01:45):
You seem to be well guarded, another member of the
patrol corps.

Speaker 7 (01:01:50):
Well, let's hope the.

Speaker 4 (01:01:51):
Patients will be able to hear.

Speaker 7 (01:01:52):
No, Betty dot doty, she's a long Betty.

Speaker 26 (01:01:56):
Well, the patient had gone.

Speaker 27 (01:01:57):
The doctor whathing to do?

Speaker 20 (01:02:00):
And the fifth patients has just begun screaming in his room, the.

Speaker 48 (01:02:03):
Green thing, the green thing.

Speaker 22 (01:02:11):
Sixty four all account before doctor before.

Speaker 23 (01:02:14):
That a missing would make sixty eight.

Speaker 22 (01:02:16):
That's how many patients we have.

Speaker 7 (01:02:17):
I checked the nurses, eight besides Betty, and they're all here.

Speaker 46 (01:02:20):
And the patrol Corps.

Speaker 44 (01:02:21):
Have checked the rest of the staff and no one
who's left the ground except the four patients.

Speaker 7 (01:02:26):
Unless somebody got in and carried them off.

Speaker 44 (01:02:29):
Now no, no jetmobiles and no jet ships have been
in the vicinity between the time the patients were last
reported and now the detroial corps about for that is
the village Lynnfield, Oh, it's the only village for one
hundred miles, but it's a backwoods country village at quaint place,
never kept up for the times.

Speaker 7 (01:02:46):
Noah, I doubt that they have any jetmobiles and Linfield
much less jet ship as you can arrange for transportation there,
can't you The end right, that's where they go.

Speaker 52 (01:02:55):
Why did I think of that before.

Speaker 44 (01:02:57):
It's the center of the village, the gossip spot, patient
centered town at the all news of them. It's federally
in that you take charge here, Colin and I are
going to Winfield.

Speaker 53 (01:03:05):
How long will you be gone, doctor?

Speaker 7 (01:03:06):
Until we find them? They're no longer alive.

Speaker 21 (01:03:23):
Sorry, I can't.

Speaker 34 (01:03:24):
Help you, no doctor, So you ain't seen no strangers,
spoke to no strangers.

Speaker 21 (01:03:29):
They're HEARDing those strangers.

Speaker 7 (01:03:30):
I'll have our transportation deathmobiles, the death ships.

Speaker 43 (01:03:33):
We didn't put in any calls for jetmobile service to
try on too much, not since miss Jennings busted her
leg and we had descended to the hospital in the city.
Oh jet ships last time one of them framing monsters
landed here.

Speaker 7 (01:03:51):
We nearly had a ride in Linfield.

Speaker 4 (01:03:53):
Then Pool draff Rot was.

Speaker 7 (01:03:55):
In bade you from Mars run a wild goose chase.
So it's see well, thanks, honeyw mister Barker, you've been

Now, hey, you.

Speaker 7 (01:04:38):
You tell my ignorant friend.

Speaker 44 (01:04:40):
I wasn't listening very carefully. But if it's ghost you're
talking about, there's never been any scientific evidence that they exist.

Speaker 7 (01:04:47):
Arts don't exist. That's what you're trying to say, is doc.

Speaker 4 (01:04:51):
That's right. I'll come on, Carling, let's get out of here.

Speaker 7 (01:04:53):
Hey, hey, no ghost this.

And so you tell me what that green thing was
coating around down.

in his whole village?

Speaker 4 (01:05:30):
Go with you tonight.

Speaker 7 (01:05:31):
If it's only a ghost, you needn't worry. But if not,
out of those caves by dawn you better come for us.
It won't be a ghost that's holding us. This must
be the right cave, Colling, it's the only one with

(01:05:54):
a brush. Trample down in front of it. Areas of two.

Speaker 9 (01:05:56):
Men here sho.

No, No, it's just a dream.

Speaker 9 (01:07:32):
And what's a dream.

I'm going to wake up.

Speaker 9 (01:07:35):
I'm going awake up.

Speaker 7 (01:07:37):
I'm going to wake up. I didn't I'm awake. I
conquered the greensing did you?

Speaker 4 (01:07:51):
Did you conquer me? Doctor Glendon.

Speaker 7 (01:07:57):
I can't be standing over me. The plink eyes are
long stops your clause.

Speaker 9 (01:08:06):
The cree thing.

Speaker 4 (01:08:22):
Right in here, doctor Glendon, into this rough chamber, and
you miss the carling. Don't worry, you won't fall. My
will is controlling you, my.

Speaker 34 (01:08:39):
Patience over I had the corner. Well, Bradley Summer's gone.
What have you done to him?

Speaker 7 (01:08:48):
Smer?

Speaker 4 (01:08:48):
Say?

Speaker 7 (01:08:48):
All right, badly, blady.

Speaker 34 (01:08:51):
This is doctor Glennon, your doctor's gardner.

Speaker 41 (01:08:59):
Nothing the matter with them. They just don't understand you anymore.
They are attuned only to venues.

Speaker 4 (01:09:10):
In thought wave.

Speaker 7 (01:09:17):
Anusians. You're from the planet room Venus.

Speaker 4 (01:09:23):
That is right.

Speaker 41 (01:09:25):
For a long time we have been observing your earth,
your resources, and your remarkable technology. But we did not
know how to conquer you, for we of Venus have
no strength or physical dexterity, only mental power.

Speaker 7 (01:09:47):
It shouldn't have told me that that horrible body of
yours to a public greet mess.

Speaker 4 (01:09:55):
You would hit only air, didn't you. I'm growing tired
of this game.

Speaker 9 (01:10:03):
Stop.

Speaker 4 (01:10:05):
I will that your arms obey me and not you.

Speaker 7 (01:10:10):
I can't move them.

Speaker 4 (01:10:13):
Do not be foolish again, and I will return their motion.

Speaker 7 (01:10:19):
A You will hypnotize my patience the same way, didn't you.
I always dreams a.

Speaker 41 (01:10:28):
Little more complicated than what you Earthlings call hypnosis, but
it is mind control. I have come to Earth to
prove to my planet that this is the way to.

Speaker 4 (01:10:44):
Conquer your Earth.

Speaker 41 (01:10:47):
We will control the minds of its inhabitants and thereby
control their strength their physical dexterity. I began your patients first,
because their minds are more easily controlled. What do you

(01:11:07):
want them their bodies? They can perform physical acts that
I cannot. With their bodies, weaven Usions can continue our
investigation of your planet at close range, and we can
also study the structure of the Earthling.

Speaker 4 (01:11:31):
When I bring them back with me.

Speaker 7 (01:11:34):
Bring them back to Venus.

Speaker 41 (01:11:37):
Do not worry, my dear doctor. I shall not separate
them from you. I will also take you and your
companion with me to Venus as rare prizes Earthling. Bind
these two men.

Speaker 1 (01:11:56):
I don't do it on your friend with your duck.

Speaker 3 (01:12:00):
Let me go.

Speaker 7 (01:12:04):
You shock the monster forgot about me. Maybe he didn't
know the airplanes had weapons too, like ray guns. Why
doesn't the fault is still standing?

Speaker 41 (01:12:13):
Did you really think you could hurt me with that?
Your death rays have no effect on my Boddy. Drop
your weapon, find them men.

Speaker 9 (01:12:29):
Shot.

Speaker 4 (01:12:31):
You cannot, but if you could, I would not care.

Speaker 41 (01:12:38):
There are millions more to choose from.

Speaker 4 (01:12:42):
You can kill your souls too.

Speaker 41 (01:12:44):
You are replaceable except to your souls.

Speaker 4 (01:12:50):
You are trapped. Your only escape is.

Speaker 7 (01:12:56):
Yeah, the crumbling explosion of your rink on calling you
poo's in the rocks. It's a cave and we'll be
bummed alive the client quick when I cli b the
patience before the ring, thinker prows us again?

Speaker 2 (01:13:10):
Think I follow us?

Speaker 3 (01:13:11):
It won't only chance.

Speaker 7 (01:13:25):
Yeah, there's the mouth of the cave. Can you do
it's blocked. The rocks are falling here too, there's one,
think one just at the mouth.

Speaker 4 (01:13:33):
You move that one.

Speaker 7 (01:13:33):
I think we can make it, alright, help me, doctor,
I'll get the patience too. All right, come out here.

Speaker 16 (01:13:42):
Where it's.

Speaker 7 (01:13:47):
Now how we can squeeze through a Now you go

Speaker 4 (01:14:27):
Earth flames com t.

A gink time he still has power.

Speaker 56 (01:14:36):
Come on, call it.

Speaker 34 (01:14:36):
Quick, fyther, release him, help me shove this rock over

That?

Speaker 24 (01:14:53):
Bad?

Speaker 4 (01:15:06):
It collapsed?

Speaker 7 (01:15:08):
The entire cave fellain just in time.

Speaker 44 (01:15:13):
It's cunning, in time to save Earth from the horror
of a green things.

Speaker 7 (01:15:37):
Next week, an incredible story about a man of science
who dared temper with the secret of human life. Be
sure to listen to That Which lived in a head
of steel two thousand pluses produced by Dryer and When
also productions incorporated in today's cast Lon quad by London.
Joseph Julian was calling Alster. Sander Guard was ms Connor's,

(01:16:00):
Gilbert Mick was Well, John Griggs was Sellaries, and Henry.

The Unexpected, the Unexpected.

Speaker 58 (01:16:54):
The unexpected. Life is filled with the unexpected, romantic, tragic,
and mysterious endings to our most ordinary actions. Dreams come true,
or dreams are shattered by sudden twists of fate in
the Unexpected.

Speaker 57 (01:17:23):
But first a word from your an answer.

Speaker 53 (01:18:26):
And now.

Speaker 58 (01:18:27):
Steve Cochran outstanding screen star in Easy Money, A Drama
of the unexpected.

Speaker 59 (01:18:41):
I pulled the bills out of my wallet and added
my pocket change three hundred eighty two dollars and thirty
seven cents and two street car tokens. Not too bad
for an out of work gambler with a taste for
expensive clothes and good hotels, but not too good for
a bright young man who had just written a check
for five thousand dollars, a very bouncing check that had

(01:19:03):
to be covered by morning.

Speaker 60 (01:19:04):
Are Where do you meet such a poor class of
people in jail?

Speaker 9 (01:19:09):
Now?

Speaker 59 (01:19:10):
My three hundred and sem odd dollars wasn't enough. I
was scared, desperate, desperate for five thousand dollars. I flipped
a coin. Tails are left town by the next fast
freight heads. I tried my luck at the taj Mah
Hall Club. I wasn't very lucky. It was a two
headed coin. Taj Ma Hall Club was some Moslem's dream

(01:19:38):
of paradise, with all the pleasures of the infernal regions
thrown in the hair on beauty. It took my hat
looked as if she'd stepped right out of the Arabian nights,
like long black hair floated over bronzed, bare shoulders. She
was wearing something filmy and clinging was just enough of it. Yeah,
she seemed to be the real East Indian article. But

(01:19:59):
her voice was you're a USA.

Speaker 47 (01:20:02):
Okay, big boy. You can go in and play now.
You won't lose your hat, meaning meaning nothing.

Speaker 29 (01:20:08):
Except that it'll be here when you leave.

Speaker 47 (01:20:10):
And you mean, oh, I'm always around when they come,
and when they go, I'll just work here.

Speaker 4 (01:20:17):
I see.

Speaker 47 (01:20:18):
Yeah. The only trouble is they don't tip until they go,
and then it's usually too late. That isn't commercial, but
money isn't everything.

Speaker 48 (01:20:26):
It is to me, baby tonight really well under those circumstances.

Speaker 4 (01:20:33):
Good nuck.

Speaker 60 (01:20:34):
Thanks, I'll need it.

Speaker 47 (01:20:36):
You'll need more than that.

Speaker 23 (01:20:37):
In the Tasman hall, you hit check.

Speaker 59 (01:20:42):
She smiled, and her lipstick seemed to glow in the
greenish light. But I had some heavy gambling to do,
so I put on a pair of mental blinders and
headed for the tables. She put her fingers to her
mouth and do a kiss in my direction. I didn't
know whether it was for luck or hope, but either
way it was a nice idea.

Speaker 60 (01:21:06):
It was my night. I started out with fifty bucks
on odd.

Speaker 27 (01:21:09):
Twenty one Odd twenty one Winds, switched over to playing
Red Red thirty six Red Winds again.

Speaker 59 (01:21:16):
And even collected on double zero. I couldn't lose, and
at the end of half an hour I had well
over two thousand dollars.

Speaker 60 (01:21:22):
My winnings were all resting.

Speaker 59 (01:21:23):
On Red and I was about to push him over
to the black section when my eyes happened to wander
past a blue lit fountain into an archway.

Speaker 4 (01:21:32):
He was standing there, a.

Speaker 59 (01:21:33):
Broad man in a gray suit, squatting against the pillar,
twirling a heavy key chain.

Speaker 7 (01:21:39):
I couldn't remember his name, not quite now where I'd
met him, but I knew that face. I knew that
it was a face of trouble.

Speaker 59 (01:21:51):
He was chatting with the heavy lidded princess from the
check stand, and even she seemed a little afraid of him.

Speaker 60 (01:21:57):
Suddenly a familiar sound brought me out of my trance.
Too late had lion ball and round round came to
a neat stop.

Speaker 41 (01:22:07):
The Black thirteen thirteen Black ladies and Jeffer thirteen Black.

Speaker 59 (01:22:11):
I reached down to collect my money and then realized
I hadn't changed my bed I do had been on red.
My winnings were wiped out. I was right back where
I started from a high in the eight ball. So
I was about to take a chance at number eight
when the long red nails caught my hand and I
heard that voice again.

Speaker 47 (01:22:30):
Better try twenty three, Oh hello, hello, I said, twenty three.

Speaker 4 (01:22:36):
What have I got to lose?

Speaker 60 (01:22:39):
Okay, twenty three?

Speaker 51 (01:22:40):
It is.

Speaker 29 (01:22:45):
See what did I tell you what.

Speaker 60 (01:22:48):
Thanks, I'll let it ride.

Speaker 23 (01:22:50):
Pick it up.

Speaker 47 (01:22:50):
You don't have to play every round.

Speaker 4 (01:22:51):
Do you anything?

Speaker 9 (01:22:53):
You say?

Speaker 50 (01:22:55):
You're doing pretty well?

Speaker 4 (01:22:56):
Rich?

Speaker 60 (01:22:57):
You Sorry?

Speaker 26 (01:22:58):
Wrong name.

Speaker 33 (01:23:00):
R C.

Speaker 47 (01:23:00):
And your hat must stand for something.

Speaker 4 (01:23:04):
Oh no, it wouldn't be Rollin'.

Speaker 9 (01:23:08):
It's Ralph, Ralph Carstairs.

Speaker 28 (01:23:10):
Ralph.

Speaker 23 (01:23:11):
That's nice.

Speaker 47 (01:23:12):
I'm glad it isn't rolling.

Speaker 4 (01:23:14):
So am I?

Speaker 47 (01:23:15):
I'm Linda Lee?

Speaker 9 (01:23:16):
Do you mind?

Speaker 60 (01:23:17):
Why should I I like the name Linda?

Speaker 4 (01:23:19):
It suits you?

Speaker 2 (01:23:21):
Thanks?

Speaker 9 (01:23:22):
Uh?

Speaker 47 (01:23:23):
Look, Ralph, why don't you get out of here while
you still have some money?

Speaker 60 (01:23:26):
I don't have enough, baby, not yet, not by half.

Speaker 47 (01:23:28):
Yes, you won't get it tonight, not in the taj mahal?

Speaker 60 (01:23:31):
Is that what our chubby friend told you to inform me?

Speaker 29 (01:23:34):
Maybe maybe it was my own idea?

Speaker 4 (01:23:38):
Who is he? Anyway?

Speaker 47 (01:23:40):
Manager?

Speaker 9 (01:23:41):
I work here?

Speaker 47 (01:23:43):
Remember?

Speaker 9 (01:23:43):
Why remind me?

Speaker 4 (01:23:45):
I'd almost forgotten?

Speaker 46 (01:23:46):
Thanks?

Speaker 47 (01:23:48):
You know I think I could get off earlier.

Speaker 4 (01:23:50):
Yeah?

Speaker 59 (01:23:50):
Yeah, we could take a drive, delivered your message. Go
on and sell your flowers and forget about it. You're
a sweet girl, Linda, But I can't pay bills with that.

Speaker 19 (01:23:58):
Okay, whatever you say?

Speaker 10 (01:24:01):
It was just a tip.

Speaker 60 (01:24:02):
Oh thanks for trying.

Speaker 57 (01:24:04):
It's all right.

Speaker 10 (01:24:05):
I get paid for it.

Speaker 60 (01:24:07):
Well, wish me luck.

Speaker 47 (01:24:08):
What's the use It wouldn't do you any good? Too bad,
though I really meant it about that drive. It was
such a nice night for a ride in the country.

Speaker 59 (01:24:24):
She slithered across the floor toward the great suited man,
who was still twirling his keychain. Apparently he remembered me
better than I at him.

Speaker 7 (01:24:32):
Sometimes some place our pears had crossed, But how where
I racked my brain to think of who he was. Meanwhile,
my stacker chips dwindled, and in another hour I was broke,
flacked and finished. Then it hit me.

Speaker 59 (01:24:49):
The man in a great suit was Fred Langley, and
I remembered him very well.

Speaker 60 (01:24:53):
Indeed, it was my night.

Speaker 59 (01:24:56):
If I played my cards right, I'd leave the taj
Mahal Club not with five, but ten thousand dollars, and
I wouldn't have to risk a cent. The manager's office
was as modern as the rest of the joint was oriental.
I sat in a chromium chidren leather chair and watched
Langley Twirley's key chains back and forth without speaking.

Speaker 60 (01:25:18):
Finally he smiled at me, but it was only face deep.
And now, my friend, what can I do for you.
I'm broke.

Speaker 27 (01:25:26):
It's most unfortunate.

Speaker 7 (01:25:27):
But if one will gam very broke, well, I suppose
I can lend you ten dollars or so for old times.

Speaker 60 (01:25:32):
Sake, Better make it ten thousand.

Speaker 57 (01:25:36):
I don't think I quite heard you ten thousand.

Speaker 27 (01:25:39):
Surely, my friend, you're joking.

Speaker 59 (01:25:42):
Joking, you see, mister Langley, I know who robbed the
Mount Pleasant National Bank.

Speaker 7 (01:25:48):
Who can't mean to imply? The wondered what happened to
you after that stick up? Well, now I know Costairs.
This isn't at all like you.

Speaker 59 (01:25:57):
Maybe not, but I need money and I can true
who robbed the Mount Pleasant National Bank.

Speaker 60 (01:26:02):
Do you remember Tony Tony?

Speaker 7 (01:26:05):
Well, I had a long talk with Tony just before.

Speaker 60 (01:26:07):
He died Carstairs.

Speaker 27 (01:26:10):
This isn't fair, it's not honorable.

Speaker 60 (01:26:12):
Oh, I'm being quite fair, mister Langley.

Speaker 59 (01:26:15):
You can pay me the ten thousand dollars a night
and forget the whole matter, or otherwise I'll just mention
it to the cops in the morning.

Speaker 7 (01:26:22):
But Carstairs is impossible. I couldn't raise such a sum.
A thousand perhaps in a few days. Ten thousand tonight,
you said tonight.

Speaker 9 (01:26:31):
Mm hmmm.

Speaker 59 (01:26:32):
Taj Maha doesn't seem to be lacking in funds. I
want to win just about ten thousand dollars.

Speaker 46 (01:26:40):
What do you think of that?

Speaker 7 (01:26:41):
I think you'd drive a hard bug. And my friend
thanks for the compliment. I walked down the ornate Murray staircase.

Speaker 60 (01:26:56):
I had made a killing.

Speaker 59 (01:26:57):
I get paid back to five thousand dollars and have
another five thousand for myself.

Speaker 60 (01:27:01):
And the beautiful part about it was that it was
all so easy, so very easy.

Speaker 27 (01:27:14):
It was all over.

Speaker 59 (01:27:16):
I stuffed ten thousand dollars in crisp green bills into
my coat pocket, fished out my hat, check and waved
an airy goodbye to the red faced and almost apoplectic Langley.
Then there wasn't at the check stand, so I tossed
one hundred dollar bill to the little Chinese girl who
gave me my hat.

Speaker 60 (01:27:31):
It had been my lucky night. I had ten thousand dollars.

Speaker 59 (01:27:35):
Out of easy money, just because I had a good
memory for names and faces and bank robberies. Yeah, it
was easy money, the easiest money I had ever made.

Speaker 58 (01:28:03):
You think the story is over, don't you, But wait,
bait takes a hand. Wait for the unexpected, and now

(01:29:25):
for the surprising conclusion. Of Easy Money, starring Steve Cochran,
Hamilton Whitney production written by Robert Libbert and Frank Burt,
and directed by Frank K.

Speaker 2 (01:29:35):
Danzig.

Speaker 59 (01:29:43):
I was waiting in line and the bank when it
opened next morning. My hand trembled just a little as
I read out the deposit slip for ten thousand dollars
in cash. I had left the teller's window in this
almost out the door, and the beefy hair and clapping
on the shoulder, and a badge flashed sunlight into my face.

Speaker 7 (01:30:02):
Better come along with me, Bud. They want to talk
to you down at the headquarters. But officer right, I
love Bun that though you're just deposited. Those bills have
serial numbers. Remember I don't get you. And money's part
of a bess that was stolen from the Mount Pleasant
National Bank a year ago. First time any of it
has showed up in circulation. I'm afraid you'll have a
lot of explaining.

Speaker 4 (01:30:21):
To do to a jury.

Speaker 58 (01:30:37):
Easy Money starred Steve Cochran. Listen soon for another of
your favorite motion picture stars in a drama of the unexpected.

This program was transcribed in Hollywood.

Speaker 53 (01:31:36):
Unsolved Mystery.

Speaker 61 (01:31:53):
Tell Me this man has been seeking the answer to
the riddles what happens in the unseen realm beyond? With
all our science, were as far from answering that question
as man was in the beginning. But with the accumulated
records of the past, the conviction is borne strongly upon
some that there is a link joining us mortals with those.

Speaker 9 (01:32:13):
Who will pass this way before m hm.

Speaker 61 (01:33:39):
The scene is the famous American newspaper correspondence Home.

Speaker 2 (01:33:43):
It is evening, and the group of guests.

Speaker 61 (01:33:44):
Are seated around the table enjoying thereafter dinner, coffee and cigars.
Long fire casts a ruddy glow over the room.

Speaker 53 (01:33:52):
And the salt scandal light throws grouptesque shallow.

Speaker 61 (01:33:54):
Shapes on the walls and ceiling as the guests settle
themselves more comfortably in their chairs.

Speaker 2 (01:34:02):
That was a good story.

Speaker 61 (01:34:03):
Well told you your don't really believe in ghosts. Before
I answered that question, let me ask you one.

Speaker 4 (01:34:08):
Go ahead.

Speaker 53 (01:34:09):
Do you completely holy and absolutely disbelieve in them? Sure
you put it that way, I'm not sure that I
can answer you both.

Speaker 61 (01:34:17):
I suppose, in their heart of heart, most men, while
I won't admit it, do have a secret belief in
ghosts or something similar.

Speaker 9 (01:34:24):
What do you say, Jackson?

Speaker 61 (01:34:26):
You're a newspaper man of wide experience. Have you ever
run into what you might call a true ghost story
in your newspaper work.

Speaker 53 (01:34:33):
Yes, I have an experience of my own and one
impact which I owe my.

Speaker 37 (01:34:37):
Life exactly Jackson.

Speaker 9 (01:34:39):
It was that experience of yours that I had and learned.

Speaker 4 (01:34:41):
What is that, Jackson?

Speaker 9 (01:34:42):
Something you haven't heard about?

Speaker 53 (01:34:43):
Nine ane talents amanity.

Speaker 9 (01:34:45):
Which you wilways tell it was? Why don't you Jackson?

Speaker 2 (01:34:47):
It's going to be published next month anyway?

I did believe when I met an old friend, you've
become a lord since I first knew him. But that
made no difference to him and the result all that
I found myself and they're now humblant home beings tod
by her ladyship and a very charming No, I haven't

will not do the very pa.

Speaker 22 (01:35:33):
I'm so glad to meet.

Speaker 53 (01:35:34):
Mister Jackson, and I'm delighted to meet Keith's mother and sister.

Speaker 22 (01:35:40):
We must keep mister Jackson standing in the cold.

Speaker 61 (01:35:43):
You shan't want the carriage any more if I don't,

Then thanks, Oh did you boys have dinner tonight?

Speaker 61 (01:36:22):
Thank you?

Speaker 53 (01:36:22):
We did on the train and by the way, I
take back all I've ever thought or said about dinners
on an English train. That was one of the best
news I ever had.

Speaker 20 (01:36:31):
Excusably, you were more hungry than usual.

Speaker 53 (01:36:34):
There's something I must say, even if all the books
ever written on etiquet sailor has contrad a good taste.

Speaker 22 (01:36:39):
Oh Deely to Jackson, I'm sure will forgive you.

Speaker 24 (01:36:42):
You're home.

Speaker 53 (01:36:43):
It is, without question the most beautiful place I've ever seen.
Why when we were driving up the hill it looked
like some picture out of a children's story book, a
picture of an old medieval castle. The bow bridge, the
post colors, the moat, the towers and the turrets.

Speaker 56 (01:36:59):
You can't talk about the medieval castle the north for
you was born the days at end of the second
The generation since decided dislibed, and we neither.

Speaker 53 (01:37:08):
We had an electric lights from.

Speaker 22 (01:37:10):
The plemming with the devout approval of the family, the
electric lights against my own.

Speaker 53 (01:37:14):
Most un electric lights and plumbing. I can't think of
anything more to be desired.

Speaker 22 (01:37:22):
We even have one of the best ghosts in England.

Speaker 9 (01:37:25):
By Joseph.

Speaker 56 (01:37:26):
You might at least him at that time to warm
his feet before you drag out the family.

Speaker 22 (01:37:31):
Not a skeleton. We shouldn't say things like that. You
must forgive Evelyn, mister Jackson, but may the Evelyn ghost
him almost in the obsession with Evelyn.

Speaker 53 (01:37:41):
I'm sure that it's lady an ghost half as charming
as you are, Miss Evelyn. And she's a hillside like
very much to me.

Speaker 22 (01:37:48):
Thank you live through the gallery and showing the Jobson
it was important.

Speaker 53 (01:37:52):
No, no, my will be delighted. Really if it isn't
too much trouble, no couple of Jackson. It's like the
all god since the g I was on the way.

Speaker 37 (01:38:00):
To the big room with Jackson.

Speaker 23 (01:38:02):
You come and meet.

Speaker 53 (01:38:05):
Hester Jackson.

Speaker 20 (01:38:06):
Lady Evelyn's ghost is a very social ghost. She always
warns us at any intending disaster.

Speaker 53 (01:38:11):
And do you always he's her warning, you do know?

Speaker 20 (01:38:14):
And she's known another about father.

Speaker 22 (01:38:17):
Mother paid no attention he was killed.

Speaker 20 (01:38:20):
This is the ghost one mother you would be.

Speaker 9 (01:38:22):
Is that the only instant.

Speaker 22 (01:38:23):
It's a family tradition dating back several hundred years. He's
the gallower, asked jo the Knight.

Speaker 53 (01:38:30):
No need to tell me which one where she is?

Speaker 29 (01:38:33):
Yes?

Speaker 53 (01:38:33):
Why hey could bear parted as you I feel them.
Don't take too much attention to what ablem tells you
about the family skeleton.

Speaker 22 (01:38:40):
You know, Keith is quite right into Jackson. Evelyn is
unduly enthusiastic.

Speaker 53 (01:38:45):
You're not any more enthusiastic than I am. I'm enjoying
the whole thing in Mantley, I did. I'd rather like
to meet this ghost lady Elivan.

Speaker 20 (01:38:54):
Why don't you sleep in the haunted wing?

Speaker 37 (01:38:57):
No, my, dear, my dear, bye Joe, and by the
pellow up here, and the first time you want to sticking.

Speaker 9 (01:39:02):
In a haunted wing?

Speaker 61 (01:39:04):
But Jackson did sleep in the haunted wings. The wind
howled dismally among the turrets and the wrong roof legs.
The old paneled walls creaked as night wore on, and
the cold became more intense. One by one, the sounds
in the old castle died away.

Speaker 63 (01:39:22):
As soon Jackson fell into a sound sleep. He wakened
with a feeling that some one was in the room.
Sat up in the big four poster bed a woman
with against the far wall.

Speaker 53 (01:39:37):
Er morable and dressed in old fashioned clothes, playing apart
at the gulf.

Speaker 61 (01:39:42):
But the figure shook its head, turned a pair of
luminous eyes on him, and started.

Speaker 4 (01:39:47):
To write on the wall.

Speaker 61 (01:39:50):
For a moment a warning message blazed out in letters
of fire. Jackson closed his eyes and looked again.

Speaker 53 (01:39:57):
A trick riding with Pauper as a something.

Speaker 61 (01:40:00):
Again, the figure shook its head, gave him a searching
look that went right through him, and turning, walked out
of the room through the.

Speaker 53 (01:40:08):
Three footstone walls. By George eight o'clock. I didn't realize
I was taking so long as tell this story. We'll
be late for the theater. Oh hang there, finish the
story here is George. Well, I did my best to

(01:40:28):
disregard the ghost. Warning His lordship drove me to the
boat right to say he tried to with the car
broke down. I missed the boat, and two days later Keith,
with a face as white as a sheet, handed me
the morning paper. In laying headlines, I read steamship Titanic
sunk all on board loft. Well, that was an exaggeration,

(01:40:50):
but I might have been one of the more than
thousand who were locked lode.

Speaker 9 (01:40:55):
What did the wounding that was Goodden on the.

Speaker 53 (01:40:56):
Wall say, beware of the Titanic?

Speaker 9 (01:41:00):
Nothing more?

Speaker 53 (01:41:01):
I told her ladyship next morning, and she was the
one who structed the chauffeur. When she found I was
determined to sail, she instructed him to break the car
if necessary to prevent my seeling on the Tatanic. Now,
do you, fellows, believe in ghosts and no relation is
a Jackson, old boy.

Speaker 61 (01:41:17):
We're glad you missed the Totanics, and we're darned glad
you're here to be our host at the dinner body
as a time for one's host, and off to the theater.
Out of deference to people who are still alive, character
names in these unsolved mysteries have been changed inasmuch as
any solution must have necessity, be supposition, liberties of time, place,

(01:41:38):
and character exist in the solution that will be presented
after you have heard from your sponsors that that that m.

Speaker 46 (01:42:56):
Recamble, that the.

Speaker 61 (01:43:19):
Ladies and gentlemen the solution for which you've been waiting.
Of course, I don't blame you.

Speaker 9 (01:43:23):
For believing in ghosts. Have an experience like that, but
just the.

Speaker 53 (01:43:27):
Same you can't really explain it. I think I can.
I'd like to hear you have you ever met a
perfect stranger and has the strange sensation of having met
him somewhere before? The same thing applies to buildings, and
the older these buildings are a more vibration of previous
happenings that will be to make their effect upon you.

Speaker 61 (01:43:44):
You mean to say that if I go into a
building where a murder has been committed, I'll be aware
of a strange feeling.

Speaker 53 (01:43:50):
You will, if you're sufficiently sensitive, are there. But that
doesn't explain actually seeing what is generally called a ghost.
If you've ever tried lying down in perfect ease and comfort,
allowing your imagination to drift back to some particularly memorable scene,
the picture will come to you with vividly as if
it had happened yesterday. Or take an author writing a story,

(01:44:11):
the characters are just as real in his mind as
any group of living people about.

Speaker 4 (01:44:16):
Whom he's only read.

Speaker 2 (01:44:17):
I'll agree to all that very well.

Speaker 53 (01:44:19):
Don't you think that if, over a period of centuries,
people living in a certain house are all agreed that
the ghost of the beautiful woman haunts the house, don't
you think that that impression will impress itself very strongly
upon a stranger who sleeps in the so called haunted room. Yes,
I think that's perfectly reasonable.

Speaker 9 (01:44:37):
I really do think that if a sufficient.

Speaker 61 (01:44:38):
Number of people all think along one line, something is
going to result. And of course, you were thinking of
your trip on the Titanic as wholl the ghost. So
you're willing to admit that concentrated thinking will produce a manifestation.
And if that's the case, why deny that an extremely
emotional incident would produce.

Speaker 53 (01:44:55):
A similar manifestation.

Speaker 9 (01:44:57):
There's something of that, isn't there.

Speaker 61 (01:44:59):
You got me most convinced, But just the same, I'll
have a stronger belief in ghost when I meet one
face to face. Well, if I ever meet a ghost,
I hope it will be like the ghost of the
Lady Evelyn one. This will have such good intentions readiness
that even if I am a stranger, it will warn
me of any impending disaster.

Speaker 53 (01:45:16):
Of course, the ghost of Lady Evelyn would have warn
anyone who had been in the room, whether or not
they had had any intention of sailing on the Tatanic.
That part of it, I think is coincident.

Speaker 4 (01:45:25):
Do you.

It won't get away from Yeah, what am I hearing?
It won't get away from it, won't get away from.

Speaker 57 (01:59:38):
The We'll return to our story Son and Harry, while
Thumb has the word with a man man.

Speaker 2 (01:59:53):
Here's important us on good grooming. Better than four out
of five new users the wild root cream oils say
they prefer wild root cream oil to all other hair tonics.
Here is new and even more conclusive evidence that wild
root cream oil is a gallon. Again, the choice of
men who put good grooming first. Though, if you want
the well groomed luck that helps you get ahead socially
and on the job, listen requently thousands of people from

(02:00:14):
coast to coast. You bought wild root cream oil. For
the first time, we're asked, how does wild root cream
oil compare with the hair tonic you previously use? The
results were amazing, better than four out of five that
they preferred wild root cream oil, and no wonder. Wild
root cream oil gives you the advantages that men consider
most important. Wild root treem oil grooms your hair neatly

(02:00:35):
and naturally. It relieves the annoying dryness and its most
ugly dams. What more, non alcoholic wild root cream oil
is the only leading hair tonic that contains soothing lanolin.
To ask for wild root cream oil a gannon. Again,
the choice of men who put good grooming first. Now

(02:00:57):
back to our dark venture for the night chase George,
which is last night just pulled my theory about Fate
watching her from the sidelines and laughing at his and
loving playing. Well, I guess you're wondering what part I

(02:01:18):
played all this since I know so much about it. Eh, Well,
I played a mighty important part. Maybe you can figure
out where it was.

Speaker 7 (02:01:26):
Huh.

Speaker 2 (02:01:34):
When George Wylers the rest of the game were on,
I came the porter's side, and he knew there was
only one thing left for him to do, get out
of town pass. So one twenty in the morning he
began looking for some way to Eskip. I want to
run a car, Yeah, any good car, Yeah, for just

(02:01:55):
a couple of days.

Speaker 3 (02:01:56):
I don't care where a car?

Speaker 2 (02:01:57):
Can you take care of me? Well? How long you
open all night? Okay? George hurried to his bedroom in
the back a few clothed in a supcase, and as
he ran take this dresser, he happened to plans into
the dressing mirror. He died ten years in the last

(02:02:18):
dar His face was drawn death the tail, his eyes
glad like the eyes of her of a trapped animal.

Speaker 4 (02:02:28):
The door bell.

Speaker 2 (02:02:30):
At this time of the night.

Speaker 4 (02:02:33):
But take off it.

Speaker 5 (02:02:37):
It's like East card come for me.

Speaker 2 (02:02:41):
He gotta get out here. George went to the back
door of the apartment. He hurried steps.

Speaker 9 (02:02:53):
And shutting hand.

Speaker 2 (02:02:58):
Wye wait tell me and Lane came out of the
alley and hide and see. He just can't them.

Speaker 24 (02:03:05):
But for how long you won't get away from me?

Speaker 46 (02:03:21):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (02:03:21):
What can I do for you?

Speaker 9 (02:03:22):
Mister?

Speaker 2 (02:03:23):
I talked to you on the phone a while ago
bout running a car. Oh, yes, yes, I remember. Well,
I think I can take care of you. You won't
be taking it out of town, we don't know, not
just in the city. But I need it right away,
all right? Oh I told you about the Department's just
going to take quite a bit. It's all right, okay,
Now if I can see your driver's life said just identification,
cause here here, okay, see yard you're rich rich but Ron,

(02:03:49):
I'm sorry I had you come way out here for nothing,
mister Richards. I'm second thought. I was wrong about that car.
I haven't got a thing on the lot that was
doing any good. What are you talking about? You just
told me I haven't got a What are you trying
to pull? Why does as good as anybody else. It's
not that, but running you a car would be pretty risky.
Well you're ready about that quote. Well, there's no reason

(02:04:10):
why I shouldn't tell you. In my business, I gotta
keep my ear pretty close to the ground, as they say,
and according to what I hear, though, by morning, you're
going to be a dead man.

Speaker 9 (02:04:21):
Mister Richards.

Speaker 2 (02:04:25):
No, George was right back where he standing with killing
all the boys looking for him. Now he began going
around all the hideouts that the boys jewels in the
old dys, the little High Street hotels and dark women houses,
anyway they might hide until tomorrow. I'm not made, George.
I can't help you. You know why the cop tray here.

(02:04:48):
It would be different, but it's important if you found
to hear it alive. But the night, Charlie cha sorry, George.

Speaker 69 (02:05:00):
Wow, this was a nice surprise for the middle of
the night, mister Richard to what does the police department
know the pleasure of this this look?

Speaker 2 (02:05:07):
Expect you gotta help me out. Yeah, Tim's gonna kill
me before morning. Put me in the could help me relax.

Speaker 4 (02:05:13):
Relax.

Speaker 69 (02:05:15):
It's not becoming for such an important member of our
community to whimper like this. Just why is Tim gonna
kill you? I thought you were his right hand man.

Speaker 66 (02:05:24):
I'm the one who called in that tip tonight about
him to my apartment, that right, Yeah, and he knows
about it, so he's gonna kill me. Just think I

Speaker 2 (02:05:38):
What do you mean that tip was as pony as
the act you're putting on.

Speaker 26 (02:05:42):
You're wrong.

Speaker 2 (02:05:43):
Now, we know pretty close to where Tim was when
that tip came through. We thought it was on a level.

Speaker 9 (02:05:48):
I don't think so.

Speaker 2 (02:05:49):
I think you called the triller's off the trail on
up for Tim to reach his hide out.

Speaker 9 (02:05:52):
I tell you're wrong.

Speaker 69 (02:05:53):
And when you go back to Tim, you tell him
at five hundred cop trout looking farm and that when
we find me better be awful polite.

Speaker 4 (02:09:53):
Wire him.

Speaker 2 (02:09:56):
Tell you a letter. Okay, here somewhere George watching the
beam of ring. It's boring and keep away with them
teaching for He crouched down his lips fame or manly.

(02:10:16):
The light was putting his feet here he had that
we finally caught up from now you're not taking it
at that.

Speaker 22 (02:10:27):
I'm going there, Okay, I think I got it down
there at the end of the platform.

Speaker 2 (02:10:35):
George watched them come close, tried to get up. He
tried to crawl away, but we won't.

Speaker 5 (02:10:44):
Get away rop there, won't get away properly.

Speaker 2 (02:10:48):
No, bim you were boy kind of looked like he
did pretty bad butt. He get him out of it. Hey, crip,
click it. He got to look like the description of
the one where my streak. What you doing that right,
old dell. I don't hope he didn't make it. Say
no guy that you know as well as I. The

(02:11:10):
company gave us all this get the thief from breaking
in down head after they said they call it all.

Speaker 9 (02:11:15):
That Where you.

Speaker 2 (02:11:17):
See you guys working for tire me?

Speaker 33 (02:11:22):
He do?

Speaker 53 (02:11:23):
Who's the he didn't even thought about I got I calm,
I'm go go away.

Speaker 16 (02:11:30):
Still.

Speaker 2 (02:11:30):
I worked for prey. They didn't give me after all
I did, Belie kill me till look he's dead. Anybody

(02:11:58):
now leave them five apart? Yeah, that boy was brought
him down head there and then I played lam park
and throwing like I said, what do you want to pop?

Speaker 24 (02:12:05):
Yeah?

Speaker 9 (02:12:06):
We're there?

Speaker 2 (02:12:07):
He there Everyone Okay, so.

Speaker 67 (02:12:10):
Within the last couple hours that mark getting to be
the busiest place in the whole city.

Speaker 2 (02:12:21):
Yeah, my job down a half. The lorg might sown
a pretty depressing doll, but a queenly isn't the opener
kind of make chill to the top of that after
the wire like ken Porter's boat and how George got
it had no work down, but it did work out.
We could see that other body of the and every
guy I talked about with Teman Porter he ban worst.

(02:12:43):
And we got to death at.

Speaker 73 (02:12:44):
Ten thirty in the mine, ten and miles from the
subway where George was taking Yeah, but George didn't know
even get away from him ten after all?

Speaker 74 (02:12:57):
Real uh lying dying by tiele twig.

Speaker 2 (02:13:15):
At the same time, the Wild Root Company, magers of
Wild Root Cream Oil for the hair, will bring you
another original dark venture story and the mean time, remember,
the man who makes the best impectrum is the man
who puts good blooming praise. And you can do that though,
is by using Wild Root cream oil. Best gram non
alcoholic eratonic is a gan of a gam the choice
of men who put good booming praise. And here's why

(02:13:37):
Wild Root free oil is so popular. It gives a
man everything you want in a hair tonic, brings his
hair neatly and naturally relieves dryness, new moves, loose tands.
What more, Wild Root Premo oil contains toothing lanolin. That's
so much like the oil of your skin. I remember
more than leading hair tonic gives you all of these advantages.
So take wild Roots fn tex. If you find times

(02:14:00):
of drying at a loose dann route, you need wild
Root cream oil again and again. The joint of men
who put good booming pray.

Speaker 7 (02:14:14):
On the net Tuesday, I remember my girls use wild
Root preem oil too, for quick good booming and to
relieve drying.

Speaker 2 (02:14:20):
Is between permanent Mother's Day. It is great for training children.
There that did they being the American Broadcasting Company.

Speaker 4 (02:14:37):
No weird circle.

Speaker 75 (02:14:45):
In this cave by the restless scene, we are met
to call from out the past stories.

Speaker 4 (02:14:54):
Strange and weird.

Speaker 41 (02:14:58):
Bell keeper all the bell so all may know we
are gathered.

Speaker 75 (02:15:05):
Again in the weird circle, out of the past, phantoms

(02:15:45):
of a world gone by, speak again the immortal tale
the diamond lens.

Speaker 76 (02:16:09):
Hello, mister Pike, are you in Good morning, sir? Good morning,
Good morning, you are, mister Pike, can't you? I am, sir,
but I don't believe I remember your name. So many
doctors and professors.

Speaker 9 (02:16:23):
Come to me.

Speaker 77 (02:16:23):
Naturally, you don't know me, mister Pike. This is the
first time I've even been in here, my first day
in New York. As a matter of fact, my name's Lindley,
Alan Lindley.

Speaker 78 (02:16:32):
I'm pleased to meet you, mister Lindley. And what can
I do for you this nasty morning? Are you in
the biological line, botanicals, or logical medicine?

Speaker 15 (02:16:41):
All and none?

Speaker 77 (02:16:43):
Look, mister Pike, there's no sense disguising facts. I'm you here,
I'm you to the world of science. But you'll hear
about me before long.

Speaker 78 (02:16:50):
I'm sure we will, Sir.

Speaker 77 (02:16:51):
I have come to New York to do something no
man has yet done, and that is I have come
to revolutionize the science of the microscope.

Speaker 78 (02:16:57):
Indeed, sir, you've bitten off a tremendous job for yourself.
May I ask if you've had any previous training in
the technique of the microscope?

Speaker 2 (02:17:05):
Training?

Speaker 77 (02:17:06):
No, but who needs it?

Speaker 4 (02:17:07):
Who wants it?

Speaker 77 (02:17:08):
I have something more, something None of your dry as
dust professors and routine written doctors have love, devotion, passion.

Speaker 78 (02:17:15):
Science does not lend itself easily to the emotions, mister Linleary.

Speaker 51 (02:17:19):
It does to mine all my life, every thought, every desire,
every yearning has been devoted to the microscope.

Speaker 60 (02:17:24):
I think it, I breathe it.

Speaker 77 (02:17:26):
Look out at the rain, were you where anybody sees
only a drop of water rolling down the window? I
see a universe of beings animated with all the passions
common to physical life, and convulsing their minute sphere, with
struggles as fierce as those of man.

Speaker 7 (02:17:37):
Indeed, sir, but that is only dreaming.

Speaker 78 (02:17:40):
The science of the microscope demands patience, skill, years of practice.

Speaker 2 (02:17:45):
You talk like a fool.

Speaker 77 (02:17:46):
I would trade a censory of practice for an ounce
of inspiration, and I have that pike inspiration like a volcano.

Speaker 51 (02:17:53):
Well, i'll show you soon enough, I.

Speaker 7 (02:17:55):
Hope you will, mister Linley.

Speaker 51 (02:17:57):
Here's a list of what I want.

Speaker 4 (02:17:59):
Mister Lindley. You can't afford to purchase all this.

Speaker 27 (02:18:02):
It will amount whatever it is I can pay.

Speaker 77 (02:18:04):
Here's one thousand dollars in gold on account. I want
all this apparatus delivered to my rooms on Fourth Avenue,
load no later than tomorrow morning. Here's the address, mister Lyndle,
And what's the scientific journals from this day on pike?
Because very shortly you will see the name of Alan Lindley,
microscopist plays like a star in the heavens.

Speaker 78 (02:18:24):
I believe you, mister Lindley, I really do. For a
novice to embark on such a course as you have
set for yourself, you must be either a genius or
or what or a madman?

Speaker 7 (02:18:45):
Helen, Helen.

Speaker 51 (02:18:47):
Perhaps the landlady said he hasn't left his rooms in
six months. Helen Helen, You scondrel two dead coralloscury Cora
like a thief.

Speaker 27 (02:19:03):
Corn in the act.

Speaker 48 (02:19:04):
Now, mister Linley, you promised you wouldn't bully Allan. Hello,
Allan Darling. Aren't you going to ask us him?

Speaker 15 (02:19:12):
Of course?

Speaker 4 (02:19:13):
Come in, both of you.

Speaker 51 (02:19:17):
I'm afraid the place is a bit of a mess.
Just now, I'll try to find church. Yes, mess looks
like a confounded junk shop. What's all this glass and
metal and apparatus?

Speaker 77 (02:19:26):
Well, I I suppose it's an amateur laboratory, so to speak.
I'm trying hard to turn myself into a professional microscopist.

Speaker 51 (02:19:34):
Professional piddle. Now look here, son, I'm not going to
mincequires now, mister Lyndley, now me, Cora. You may be
in love with this scoundrel, but I'm his father, and
I'm plenty to say, what.

Speaker 33 (02:19:43):
Is it dead?

Speaker 2 (02:19:44):
What's the matter?

Speaker 51 (02:19:44):
The matter is six months and six thousand dollars. For
six months, we haven't heard from you, not a l
not a message.

Speaker 4 (02:19:51):
For six months.

Speaker 51 (02:19:51):
You've been buried in this blasted city, dead.

Speaker 27 (02:19:54):
For all we might have known.

Speaker 51 (02:19:55):
And the only word from you was had drafted on
my bank for six thousand dollars.

Speaker 48 (02:19:58):
That's how we found your address.

Speaker 51 (02:20:00):
This confounded nonsense has got to stop. It's not nonsense,
dead and it's only begune blast children, fertile and impeter.
You promised me a year in New York, a year
of independence, to follow my own career. You said it
was a fair gamble. Either i'd find myself or get
it out of my system. Find yourself, yes, but not
squander yourself. Not spend a fortune and live in a
filthy pig style, like a dealer in bottles and old glass.

Speaker 27 (02:20:20):
This junk you'll touch it, don't touch it, touch it?

Speaker 51 (02:20:23):
Hem Hey wouldn't sew my fingers. Now, listen Alan, the
bargains ended, cancel finished. You are to come home at once.
I will not fuld you as your told for one year.
I'll do as I please, not without an allowance. You won't,
and I mean that's her. Not another penny for this foolishness.
Not another penny until you come home, marry Cora and
get the work. It's home or starve all right, now

(02:20:48):
get out of here.

Speaker 27 (02:20:49):
I are to break my cane over your bast Helen.
Mister Lindley, Please, all will you wait for me downstairs?

Speaker 48 (02:20:55):
Mister Lindley, I'd like to speak to Allan alone.

Speaker 51 (02:20:57):
You're wasting your time, Correr. He needs to be convinced
with a stick, please, mister Lindley, very well, very well,
tell the ruffian who poses as my son that I
stick to my decision. He's to come home or stop.

Speaker 48 (02:21:14):
I'm sorry, Allan, dear.

Speaker 51 (02:21:17):
Darling Kory, I haven't even had a chance to say hello.

Speaker 50 (02:21:22):
Really well, there's no one stopping you now, Alan.

Speaker 4 (02:21:27):
Oh, oh darling, how I've missed you.

Speaker 48 (02:21:31):
I know, I know only something terribly important could keep
you away from me so long.

Speaker 77 (02:21:38):
Then you do understand a little enough it's so big
for me.

Speaker 6 (02:21:43):
I've reached a blind alley, a blank wall.

Speaker 77 (02:21:45):
All this equipment that cost a fortune, it's it's imperfect, inadequate,
But Allan might have the night. I dream of the
perfect microscope, a dream instrument of immeasurable power that will
pierce the envelope of matter down to the original atom.

Speaker 27 (02:21:57):
But Darling, that's Implen't you see I can't give.

Speaker 77 (02:21:59):
Up until I found that microscope. You do understand, korl.

Speaker 19 (02:22:04):
Yes, Darling, I understand, and you're right.

Speaker 50 (02:22:06):
You must stay here, bless you. I'll see what I can.

Speaker 22 (02:22:11):
Do with your father.

Speaker 48 (02:22:13):
I only hope I can pacify him a little.

Speaker 2 (02:22:16):
Thank you, Darlen.

Speaker 48 (02:22:18):
And while you're struggling with your problem, don't forget that
it's mine too, even if I don't understand all your
complicated science. Goodbye, Allan, Goodbye.

Speaker 27 (02:22:33):
You are fortunate. Defendi, she is beautiful woman.

Speaker 2 (02:22:37):
What is too bad?

Speaker 27 (02:22:38):
She departs in DearS? Pull the w and what do
you want to forgive me?

Speaker 4 (02:22:41):
Of Fendy?

Speaker 27 (02:22:42):
But my room is next to yours. I could not
help overhearing. My name is Simon bel Afris. I am
a very small person.

Speaker 79 (02:22:49):
With no consequence, A dealer in trifles, a bayer and
seller of insignificance.

Speaker 3 (02:22:54):
Yes, well I've worked.

Speaker 79 (02:22:55):
One moment, mister Lindley. Pardon if I presume but I
could not help you? Then you speak of problem the
perfect microscope lends?

Speaker 26 (02:23:04):
What about it?

Speaker 79 (02:23:05):
I understand you are baffled in search for this marvel
of science? If andy has it never occurred to you
that two heads are better than one?

Speaker 60 (02:23:15):
Meaning yourself?

Speaker 25 (02:23:16):
Not?

Speaker 9 (02:23:16):
But no?

Speaker 79 (02:23:17):
I speak of Madame Vulpes. Who Madame Vulpes, most famous
medium in city, most powerful in world.

Speaker 27 (02:23:25):
A medium, yes, great medium, by heavens, What a woman.
I go to her many times.

Speaker 79 (02:23:31):
This woman speaks to me of things I do not
dare to speak of, even to myself. Always she knows all,
for through her mouth speaks the wisdom of the ages.
Perhaps to you the voice of a scientist long dead,
will speak, bringing advice you need.

Speaker 4 (02:23:49):
Eh, By heaven, why not?

Speaker 77 (02:23:53):
What about the lovers?

Speaker 51 (02:23:55):
Come bell Afice, take me to your medium. She may
find me the perfect microscope.

Speaker 80 (02:24:04):
You come for a communication, mister Linley.

Speaker 27 (02:24:08):
Yes, Madam Bopus, I bring him quick. I have told
him about you.

Speaker 81 (02:24:12):
Quiet simon this time the matter does not concern you,
mister Linley. You wish to communicate with any particular spirit. Yes,
have you ever known this spirit on earth?

Speaker 26 (02:24:28):
No?

Speaker 51 (02:24:28):
Never, He died long before I was born.

Speaker 77 (02:24:31):
I wish merely to obtain from him some information which
he ought to be able to give better than any other.

Speaker 81 (02:24:36):
Seat yourself at the table, mister Linley, and place your
hand on it. Simon will do likewise, unless you prefer him.

Speaker 51 (02:24:48):
To leave, I have nothing to conceal.

Speaker 4 (02:24:50):
He may stay.

Speaker 23 (02:24:51):
That is good.

Speaker 82 (02:24:53):
Quietly A thousand thanks for your trust. If Endy, I
repeat you now, since I know how to question spirits
when they speak through medium's.

Speaker 2 (02:25:03):
Mouth, Simona, she is moaning, Ah.

Speaker 27 (02:25:07):
They are strong to night already she is in trance,
and they clamor at her mouth?

Speaker 4 (02:25:13):
What's that? Wrapping?

Speaker 27 (02:25:14):
The spirits call us to attention.

Speaker 4 (02:25:16):
I would speak to them.

Speaker 83 (02:25:19):
Will the spirits communicate with this gentleman. Will the particular
spirit he desires to speak with communicate? Attention, Lily, the
spirit you want is about to speak through her, But.

Speaker 77 (02:25:33):
She doesn't know who I want, neither to you.

Speaker 4 (02:25:35):
I haven't mentioned his name.

Speaker 46 (02:25:36):
You have thought it.

Speaker 27 (02:25:37):
That is enough for remarkable. Madame Vulpes, listen, I am here,
question me, speak literly. It is your spirit?

Speaker 1 (02:25:49):
Who who are you?

Speaker 84 (02:25:53):
He whom you desire, Aunt m loven Her.

Speaker 10 (02:26:00):
Great Scott.

Speaker 4 (02:26:01):
This is incredible.

Speaker 27 (02:26:03):
The very man I thought of who is spirited with
strange name.

Speaker 51 (02:26:06):
Antony Levenark, the original discoverer of the microscope. He died
centuries ago.

Speaker 27 (02:26:11):
Speak to him lently, quick before he goes, Uh. Do
you know what I want?

Speaker 46 (02:26:16):
Master?

Speaker 4 (02:26:17):
Yes?

Speaker 51 (02:26:18):
Can the perfect microscope be created?

Speaker 53 (02:26:21):
Yes?

Speaker 77 (02:26:22):
Am I destined to accomplish this task?

Speaker 3 (02:26:25):
You are for the love you bed that science.

Speaker 9 (02:26:28):
Help me?

Speaker 7 (02:26:29):
How shall I proceed?

Speaker 84 (02:26:31):
You must use a lens submitted to electromagnetic currents of
one thousand volts and constantly bathed in the magnetic.

Speaker 51 (02:26:48):
Field of what shall the lens be formed?

Speaker 29 (02:26:51):
For the perfect microscope?

Speaker 84 (02:26:55):
You will need a lens fond of a one hundred
and forty carrot dialon same on?

Speaker 51 (02:27:05):
What is it?

Speaker 27 (02:27:06):
Monsters?

Speaker 26 (02:27:07):
Robbers?

Speaker 60 (02:27:08):
Thieves?

Speaker 37 (02:27:08):
What ails?

Speaker 26 (02:27:09):
You man?

Speaker 60 (02:27:09):
Let me out of here?

Speaker 3 (02:27:10):
I do not remain in the least Heaven's nay?

Speaker 26 (02:27:13):
Same?

Speaker 3 (02:27:14):
Are you sick?

Speaker 26 (02:27:15):
Wait?

Speaker 17 (02:27:15):
I'm colling what you have fed.

Speaker 27 (02:27:16):
It and out of my secret you will let cursed
vorfous woman?

Speaker 3 (02:27:19):
Wait, same morning, what secret?

Speaker 27 (02:27:20):
What's the matter?

Speaker 28 (02:27:21):
You shall have heard it?

Speaker 27 (02:27:22):
Neither you know the horfiss No one shall steal from
a meeting eye of the morning.

Speaker 9 (02:27:30):
Same are stop, you idiot? Get away?

Speaker 4 (02:27:32):
Why have you followed me home?

Speaker 9 (02:27:33):
I am if here too, you fool.

Speaker 2 (02:27:34):
Stop yelling.

Speaker 3 (02:27:35):
You'll wake the house.

Speaker 27 (02:27:35):
Get out of here.

Speaker 3 (02:27:36):
He'll be an ass here.

Speaker 37 (02:27:38):
Come into my room a minute.

Speaker 9 (02:27:39):
And cool off.

Speaker 27 (02:27:42):
I swear to you, Liny, you shall not have it.

Speaker 18 (02:27:45):
Have what?

Speaker 26 (02:27:46):
Sit down?

Speaker 77 (02:27:47):
Calm off? And what excited you saw?

Speaker 51 (02:27:49):
What was this gibberish about the eye of the morning.

Speaker 27 (02:27:51):
Do not pretend you know?

Speaker 33 (02:27:52):
You know?

Speaker 27 (02:27:52):
The horpous woman told you?

Speaker 7 (02:27:54):
Told me?

Speaker 27 (02:27:54):
What about my diamond?

Speaker 3 (02:27:55):
The diamond called the Eye of the morning.

Speaker 51 (02:27:58):
Oh you own a diamond?

Speaker 24 (02:28:01):
You know?

Speaker 77 (02:28:01):
You know me a censes man. I only met you
a few hours ago. I know nothing, nothing but what
you yourself gave away.

Speaker 27 (02:28:07):
Eh, yes, yes, my friend, I think perhaps I misjudge you.

Speaker 15 (02:28:13):
Eh.

Speaker 4 (02:28:15):
Of course you did not know.

Speaker 27 (02:28:17):
And Madame Bulpus, she spoke of another diamond.

Speaker 26 (02:28:19):
Eh.

Speaker 27 (02:28:20):
That was what confused Belafris, because it was of the
same size.

Speaker 77 (02:28:25):
What was the same size your diamond?

Speaker 27 (02:28:28):
Wait, Linley, I showed to you always. I haven't done
me for safety. Here look at it, Ah, It's magnificent.

Speaker 79 (02:28:38):
Worth the king's ransom one hundred and forty carrots, one
hundred exactly?

Speaker 27 (02:28:45):
What how I get to this story of robbery and
theft and murder you smuggled in? Yes, I see, I see, Simon.

Speaker 2 (02:28:58):
Listen to me. I must have this die Joe.

Speaker 77 (02:29:00):
Okay, Simon, I want this diamond.

Speaker 60 (02:29:01):
You are serious, but no, you are a fool.

Speaker 2 (02:29:04):
You could not pay you heard what the spirit of.

Speaker 77 (02:29:06):
Letin had said, A diamond lens of one hundred and
forty carrots. This is my lens, Simon, my perfect microscope.
I must have it all What else can I find.

Speaker 51 (02:29:12):
A diamond so exactly suited to my not only.

Speaker 27 (02:29:14):
No, you are a metal giving I must have it.

Speaker 7 (02:29:17):
I must have this diamond, no matter what.

Speaker 2 (02:29:18):
Always, God, I must have this lane.

Speaker 26 (02:29:28):
And I do have it.

Speaker 15 (02:29:29):
Simon.

Speaker 51 (02:29:31):
You can't hear me now, but wherever you are, the
shades and spirits of the beyond will make you understand.

Speaker 60 (02:29:37):
I have the perfect microscope.

Speaker 51 (02:29:39):
Now, the diamond lens.

Speaker 27 (02:30:11):
Just a minute, Oh my boy?

Speaker 4 (02:30:14):
Are you all right?

Speaker 26 (02:30:15):
Oh?

Speaker 9 (02:30:15):
Dead? Come in?

Speaker 51 (02:30:16):
Of course I'm all right.

Speaker 4 (02:30:17):
Why shouldn't I be?

Speaker 27 (02:30:19):
Why shouldn't you?

Speaker 51 (02:30:20):
Great Scott Allan? Are you so lost in your scientific nonsense?
You don't know what's happening around you?

Speaker 4 (02:30:25):
Here?

Speaker 27 (02:30:26):
Here, read this paper?

Speaker 77 (02:30:27):
Huh oh, murder in Fourth Avenue rooming house last week,
Simon bell Afrus found strangled in bedroom. Oh that just
a Persian peddler killed my wright, Alan, I don't see
how you can be so cold blooded. As soon as
we saw this in our local paper, Cora and I
rushed to New York. Cora here, Yes, yes, she's waiting

(02:30:48):
in the hotel. We had to come when we saw
your name as one of the neighbors of the murdered
man quite dead. Before you say anything else, now listen
to me. I've done what I set out to do,
and in less than a year, I've done something that
no man in the.

Speaker 4 (02:31:00):
World could do.

Speaker 77 (02:31:01):
I've created the perfect microscope, built a lens that conpiers
all matter down to the ultimate atum.

Speaker 27 (02:31:05):
You are talking like cow mad Manning.

Speaker 51 (02:31:07):
This happens to be the greatest moment of my life.

Speaker 4 (02:31:09):
Dad.

Speaker 1 (02:31:10):
My microscope is mountain ready for use.

Speaker 77 (02:31:12):
This will be my first sight.

Speaker 4 (02:31:13):
Into the unknown. Allen.

Speaker 51 (02:31:14):
Allen, you're so flushed and perspiring, your hands are shaking.

Speaker 26 (02:31:17):
So what birth of the dynamo?

Speaker 4 (02:31:21):
Yes?

Speaker 77 (02:31:22):
Then on the slide, a drop of water so tiny
so clear, seemingly so empty.

Speaker 27 (02:31:30):
Aalent Allen, You must come away.

Speaker 51 (02:31:32):
It's this confounded electrical mess surrounding your microscope that's burning
you up.

Speaker 77 (02:31:35):
Careful, don't touch anything.

Speaker 51 (02:31:37):
There's a thousand volts of death lying in wait for
the unwaar they cod heavens, what have you been doing
preparing for this superb moment?

Speaker 77 (02:31:43):
My first glimpse into the void of atomic space. For
the first time in history, a human eye peers into
the unknown and sees her.

Speaker 3 (02:31:53):
Father, my boy, this is incredible.

Speaker 27 (02:31:56):
Unbelievable for your real Alan.

Speaker 77 (02:31:57):
No, no, no, only overwhelm father. This miraculous lens penetrates
into a tiny world, more perfect, more beautiful, far lovelier
than any man has dream her.

Speaker 27 (02:32:11):
You only imagine you see it. Such things do not exist.

Speaker 51 (02:32:14):
I tell you, I do see it.

Speaker 4 (02:32:15):
And he no, no, this is too much to.

Speaker 51 (02:32:20):
Believe, my boy, Come away from that lens.

Speaker 77 (02:32:22):
A human figure, a figure of a woman. Wait, yes, yes,
she floats directly under the lens. The most beautiful, adorable
woman I have ever seen, human and yet too lovely
to be human. A graceful, unbelievable nimbula in the atom.

Speaker 4 (02:32:41):
What a perfect name for her?

Speaker 77 (02:32:43):
Animula, yar man, madam, I see she gazes directly up
into the lens, up at me. Now she smiles. She
senses I am watching her.

Speaker 51 (02:32:53):
She must she must know how my heart reaches out
to her.

Speaker 67 (02:32:56):
I'll a wait.

Speaker 4 (02:32:57):
Listen. Do you hear that?

Speaker 77 (02:33:00):
The tink liming for the testimal bells, the music of
delicate dancing prisms.

Speaker 3 (02:33:04):
It's her voice, I tell you, the voice of her.

Speaker 51 (02:33:07):
Thoughts for me, Allen, Allen, in the name of mercy,
I employ you to come away.

Speaker 60 (02:33:11):
You're sick.

Speaker 27 (02:33:11):
You don't know how you rave, how.

Speaker 77 (02:33:13):
To the atoms. She calls to me, Animula, and my
heart calls to her.

Speaker 27 (02:33:18):
I've got to get you home at once.

Speaker 51 (02:33:20):
Now listen to me, Alan, Perhaps Corra can Yes, yes,
I'll bring Corra. She'll calm you.

Speaker 3 (02:33:25):
Now, wait, my boy, I'll bring Corra to you.

Speaker 4 (02:33:30):
Vanimla va.

Speaker 17 (02:33:34):
I love you, mister.

Speaker 9 (02:33:41):
Open up.

Speaker 51 (02:33:43):
It's Beca Adams. I'm a side apartment.

Speaker 4 (02:33:47):
But what is it?

Speaker 17 (02:33:49):
I'm sorry about you, just a few questions about the
bell affs, murder the bell?

Speaker 77 (02:33:54):
Oh, come in, I'm sorry I didn't answer it once
I was preoccupying the pleasure.

Speaker 17 (02:34:00):
Got here laboratory, eh, yes, any particular research.

Speaker 77 (02:34:05):
Yes, no, I but you must excuse me. She's calling again,
you hear I haven't taken my eyes off for an hour.

Speaker 17 (02:34:11):
I don't think I understand, mister Linley. If you mean
that tinkly noise, it sounds like a piece of glass
to me.

Speaker 2 (02:34:17):
No, no, no, it's animular.

Speaker 77 (02:34:19):
It's the sound of her thoughts. Someday I'll let you
see her too.

Speaker 21 (02:34:22):
But now she's from my eyes alone.

Speaker 38 (02:34:24):
Oh.

Speaker 17 (02:34:25):
Something under that microscope looks like a drop of water.

Speaker 51 (02:34:30):
There's an electrical field around that instrument.

Speaker 27 (02:34:32):
You must know how to handle it.

Speaker 77 (02:34:34):
Ah, she's calling to me again. You must excuse me, Inspectorator.

Speaker 17 (02:34:38):
Mister Linley, stop looking into that lens a minute. I
want to ask some questions.

Speaker 77 (02:34:43):
Yes, I can't give you too much time. My whole
life is in this lens.

Speaker 17 (02:34:47):
It's about Simon bel Afris, the Persian.

Speaker 4 (02:34:50):
Did you know him? No?

Speaker 17 (02:34:52):
Ever see him?

Speaker 19 (02:34:54):
No?

Speaker 17 (02:34:55):
Ever been in his room?

Speaker 34 (02:34:56):
No?

Speaker 17 (02:34:57):
Was he ever in yours?

Speaker 33 (02:34:58):
No?

Speaker 17 (02:34:59):
Well, look we found him strangled in his room, which
is right next to yours. He looked as though he'd
been in an awful fight. Did you hear anything that night?

Speaker 33 (02:35:09):
No?

Speaker 17 (02:35:09):
Too busy with research. Jane that's right. Here's the point,
mister Linley. Bel Affers was all banged up, but his
room wasn't he He looks as though he was killed
in a fight somewhere else and then carried to his room. Now,
did you hear any noise in the halls like a
body being dragged?

Speaker 51 (02:35:29):
No, I don't believe I did.

Speaker 17 (02:35:31):
Have you got any idea why bel Affers was murdered?
A feud maybe, or a robbery. Did he own anything
worth stealing? I can't say.

Speaker 2 (02:35:39):
I don't know.

Speaker 17 (02:35:39):
What's the matter, mister Linley. It looks like you're ready
to faint.

Speaker 77 (02:35:42):
It's the bells. You hear them, Inspector, It's an elibula
calling me to her. I've got to get back to
the microscope.

Speaker 17 (02:35:48):
You must excuse Yeah, I hear those bells too, say,
don't tell me you think that sound comes out of
the microscope.

Speaker 77 (02:35:55):
But it does, I tell you. All the atoms are
that tiny drop of water, the voice of my belie,
love and calling to me, reaching toward me from the
atomic void. It is the voice of her thoughts, yearning
told me. She knows I watch her, she knows I
love her.

Speaker 9 (02:36:08):
She's Cora.

Speaker 51 (02:36:10):
You see mad draining mad, Helen Darling, what's wrong?

Speaker 17 (02:36:14):
I'm Inspector Adams. Folks, believe me. This man's mad.

Speaker 48 (02:36:17):
I can't believe that. Please sit down here, Allan, dear
good heavens, how you're trembling.

Speaker 77 (02:36:23):
Please don't touch me, Cora, and take the hands off me,
you see, Cora, Allan Darling, your father is right.

Speaker 23 (02:36:29):
You are delirious.

Speaker 4 (02:36:30):
No, no, Cora, I'm in love.

Speaker 24 (02:36:32):
Of course.

Speaker 27 (02:36:33):
It's that new microscope.

Speaker 51 (02:36:34):
He saw something.

Speaker 15 (02:36:35):
You hear that, listen?

Speaker 17 (02:36:36):
Not he wait a minute, what new microscope?

Speaker 9 (02:36:39):
I don't know?

Speaker 77 (02:36:40):
He said, Oh, I'll tell you, I'll if it'll make
you believe my sanity.

Speaker 9 (02:36:44):
Oh, Leavin.

Speaker 77 (02:36:44):
He told me how to make it. A lens in
a magnetic field long axis, A diamond lens of one
hundred and forty carrots.

Speaker 17 (02:36:52):
A diamond lens.

Speaker 48 (02:36:54):
Mister Linley, we've got to get Alan home at once, Allan,
for my sake, you got to come with us.

Speaker 22 (02:37:01):
No, please die.

Speaker 4 (02:37:04):
Listen.

Speaker 48 (02:37:05):
You said you loved me once.

Speaker 23 (02:37:07):
I never asked anything for Allah.

Speaker 2 (02:37:09):
Now I do.

Speaker 48 (02:37:11):
Please come with us.

Speaker 3 (02:37:12):
I don't love you now, Cora.

Speaker 77 (02:37:15):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 4 (02:37:15):
Why Why I love animula?

Speaker 17 (02:37:19):
A thing in a microscope, a dream and a drop
of water.

Speaker 48 (02:37:24):
I don't understand, but I don't care. Love anybody, please
helen anybody anywhere, and I won't care because I love
you and anything that's yours only.

Speaker 23 (02:37:34):
No, you must come away.

Speaker 2 (02:37:35):
No, no, no, no, no, get out, all of you.

Speaker 51 (02:37:39):
You hear she's calling again.

Speaker 77 (02:37:41):
I've got to get back to Hermaimola.

Speaker 62 (02:37:45):
Do you hear her voice?

Speaker 77 (02:37:47):
It's louder, closer, great heaven. She's reaching out to me
across the vast burial of space. She's coming to me. Thenimula,
do you.

Speaker 9 (02:37:56):
Hear do you?

Speaker 17 (02:37:57):
Yes, we're all here, mister Linley, and we are. I'll
see look here in my hand, this is the voice
of your animula.

Speaker 9 (02:38:05):
No good lord.

Speaker 17 (02:38:06):
What's that something I found tangled in the window curtain?
Pear of Persian ankle bells? Silver bells used for jewelry.

Speaker 26 (02:38:12):
Impossible?

Speaker 17 (02:38:13):
I way match a pair we found in the torn
pocket of bel appers coat, the man who was murdered
by your son, mister Linley. No, Alan, you didn't know,
you quies he did, all right, And for that diamond
lens he was talking about. I bet we've known for
some time that bell Appers was smuggling diamonds.

Speaker 77 (02:38:30):
You lie, that's not the voice of my animula.

Speaker 17 (02:38:32):
Those belts you murdered them here, didn't you? For a
diamond in the fight. These belt were probably torn from
the Persian's pocket and caught in the curtain. Every time
the curtain swayed, you thought you heard this animula talking.

Speaker 4 (02:38:44):
It was for voice.

Speaker 9 (02:38:45):
I swear it. I believe it.

Speaker 4 (02:38:46):
I heard her.

Speaker 17 (02:38:46):
Look again, you fool, Look again in that crazy diamond
lens and tell me what you see. Now, take one
long last look before you hang for murder.

Speaker 51 (02:38:56):
Monster, you destroy everything love, faith, belief, But you won't.

Speaker 60 (02:38:59):
Just I believe I have a way to stop you.

Speaker 49 (02:39:01):
Everybody.

Speaker 17 (02:39:09):
Allen, Allen, Yes, I'm afraid he's dead. Electrocuted himself when
he smashed his microscope. Oh maybe it's best this way
I can see. He must have been a nice boy.

Speaker 4 (02:39:26):
But what what happened?

Speaker 9 (02:39:29):
What changed him like that?

Speaker 17 (02:39:32):
I don't know. Something he saw, I guess, But but.

Speaker 15 (02:39:37):
Was it real?

Speaker 7 (02:39:38):
Did he really see all that in the diamond, lenb
You don't understand.

Speaker 50 (02:39:44):
He saw something and it changed him.

Speaker 20 (02:39:47):
That's what happens to all of us.

Speaker 48 (02:39:49):
Doesn't matter if we really see it or only imagine
we do. We see something and it changes us. Sooner
or later, every man must gaze him to a LeMond lens.

Speaker 75 (02:40:14):
From the time one pages of the past, we have
brought you the story the Diamond Lens.

Speaker 4 (02:40:23):
Bell Keeper.

Speaker 3 (02:40:25):
All about.

Speaker 10 (02:41:02):
M m m.

Speaker 4 (02:41:15):
M m.

Speaker 19 (02:41:28):
M m m.

Speaker 85 (02:41:40):
M hm.

Speaker 4 (02:41:54):
I am the whistless and I know why I want.

Speaker 9 (02:42:01):
I know many strange tales, many.

Speaker 33 (02:42:04):
Secrets given in the hearts of men and women were
stepped into the shadows.

Speaker 9 (02:42:08):
Presently are of nameless errors of which they dare not speak.

Speaker 86 (02:42:20):
But First Signal Oil Company is happy to devote this
time to an announcement from the United States Government on
today's most important event, the opening of the sixth War
alone drive. Many Americans, unfortunately, won't be hearing this announcement
beside their home radios tonight. Some are crouching in rain

(02:42:41):
filled foxholes in the Philippines or Burma. Others are flogging
through cold and mud in northern Italy or in France,
begged by the new German statusphere bombs. But they're not complaining.
They're just acting for the weapons they need to get
the fighting over and get them home again as soon
as possible.

Speaker 4 (02:43:02):
That's where you come in.

Speaker 86 (02:43:04):
It's going to take more b twenty nine much more
at six hundred thousand dollars each, and then four tanks
at fifty seven thousand dollars each. Yes, millions and millions
more dollars, but you're not being asked to give your dollars.
Just an investment in the world's facest investment, a United

(02:43:24):
States war bond. Make it one hundred dollars bond this time,
your war bond dollars not only say you excellent interest
while ensuring your future security, but they say to the
boys we sent over there, you're not quitting neither am
I until it's over over there.

Speaker 9 (02:43:44):
Now, the quizler.

Speaker 4 (02:43:54):
You've heard of identical twins seven give it.

Speaker 46 (02:43:58):
You don't run across from there.

Speaker 9 (02:44:00):
But once in a while you'll find two people who
looked so much alike that even their own.

Speaker 33 (02:44:05):
Parents can't tell them apart, and not to.

Speaker 46 (02:44:08):
Need to all sorts of compresation.

Speaker 33 (02:44:11):
There's one case I have a mind of, specially the
case of Mona and Martha Spencer.

Speaker 9 (02:44:17):
Identical sinsists they were exactly alike.

Speaker 46 (02:44:21):
Their friends couldn't tell them apart.

Speaker 9 (02:44:23):
Their mother and father before they died, had troubled distinguishing
the king.

Speaker 46 (02:44:28):
After their parents' deaths.

Speaker 9 (02:44:30):
They were alone in the world, two disvoted loving sisters.

Speaker 33 (02:44:34):
At least that's what everyone thought, two loving sisters, beautiful, popular,
surrounded by admirers. Them Along came Bill Everett, handsome, successful,
the catch of the season, as they'd say, and Mona.

Speaker 26 (02:44:50):
Got him as they became engaged.

Speaker 46 (02:44:53):
And Mona brought out the store for her true sauls.

Speaker 24 (02:44:56):
And one night she and Martha stood in Mona's rooms,
having the beautiful.

Speaker 46 (02:45:00):
Dresses in laeriation get purchased.

Speaker 87 (02:45:03):
And this dread and this robe, and what's the matter Martha,
h oh, nothing else. I think they're beautiful, all of us,
says to this dread.

Speaker 24 (02:45:17):

The mirror of myself.

Speaker 49 (02:45:28):
It's go ahead.

Speaker 88 (02:45:29):
I'd like to see how it will look on me.

Speaker 89 (02:45:31):
Let's be sure you don't mind, could I don't mind?

Speaker 9 (02:45:34):

And that's you know? Oh, I do believe you're jealous?
Are you in love with Bill too? Nonsense? I just
can't help getting a little jealous.

Speaker 87 (02:46:08):
Naturally, you found your man and Donald, well, you're blame.

Speaker 49 (02:46:16):
We're notimizing another.

Speaker 89 (02:46:17):
Respect Martha, you're weak and I'm strong.

Speaker 49 (02:46:22):
Weak, Okay, I'll found my man too. Good it because
I made up my mind to side. You should do
the same.

Speaker 89 (02:46:30):

Speaker 88 (02:46:32):
You can sting home so much lately, Laddie, I just
haven't felt like going out a doll though.

Speaker 22 (02:46:40):
Sometimes I don't understand you.

Huh oh, I've been trying to tell you Bill math.

Speaker 46 (02:47:38):
Poor Billow can't tell his fan shape.

Speaker 33 (02:47:42):
Yeah, it's too bad that incident of the door has
to happen because it gave Martha an idea.

Speaker 46 (02:47:49):
She tried to put it out of her mind, but
she couldn't.

Speaker 33 (02:47:52):
She thought about it all evening while Mona unfilled without
having a good time. Yes, that little voice kept whispering
to her, over and over and over again.

Speaker 46 (02:48:11):
It wouldn't go away.

Speaker 9 (02:48:13):
I thought it was bad growing even Bill.

Speaker 24 (02:48:17):
Could distinguished the why not?

Speaker 4 (02:48:21):
Why not?

Speaker 46 (02:48:22):
By the time morning came home, I thought had blown
into a plan.

Speaker 33 (02:53:32):
What so?

Speaker 46 (02:53:49):
Martha Spencer killed a twin sister Mona.

Speaker 9 (02:53:52):
Then carrying out her plans.

Speaker 46 (02:53:54):
He immediately assumed the Mona's identity.

Speaker 33 (02:53:57):
She changed in the Mona's dress, arranged the gun, Mona
took Mona's engagement ring, a diamond clips, dressed Mona in
one of her robes, and put her dinner ring on
Mona's fingers.

Speaker 46 (02:54:08):
Oh yes, it was perfect, perfect, and every detailed. What
could the police respect for?

Speaker 9 (02:54:14):
Not even Bill Everett could tell Mona and Marsha prash.

Speaker 88 (02:54:23):
Hello, Pater godless, I think you better come to four
three seven oaks by the.

Speaker 49 (02:54:27):
Way by sister docmit of two huge what.

Speaker 88 (02:54:32):
Oh yes, I'm Moona's sink.

Speaker 9 (02:54:44):
Yes it's dumb now now there's.

Speaker 24 (02:54:47):
No turning back, Martha, So don't get nervous, keep.

Speaker 9 (02:54:50):
Calm and faced the police, just as if.

Speaker 46 (02:54:52):
It really had been suicide.

Speaker 9 (02:54:55):
Nothing is going to go wrong, nothing not if you
keep your head.

Speaker 46 (02:54:58):
Your prime is perfect.

Speaker 33 (02:55:00):
When the police arrives, you do keep your head. They
asked only a few simple questions. And Bill who arrives
and masters with you to keep you steady till you
carry it off rather well, sorry.

Speaker 26 (02:55:13):
To subjective to these questions, Miss Spencer. I know I
must fail Martha.

Speaker 49 (02:55:18):
She's planting to kill herself, but I I didn't.

Speaker 9 (02:55:21):
Think she'd do it.

Speaker 85 (02:55:23):
And the prostration, Oh yes, she seemed to be living
control of herself.

Speaker 88 (02:55:30):
She was never quite the same after our parents died.

Speaker 26 (02:55:34):
Do you suppose your forthcoming marriage had.

Speaker 4 (02:55:36):
Anything to do with it?

Speaker 49 (02:55:38):
I'm afraid it did.

Speaker 89 (02:55:40):
You See, Martha and I were always very close to
each other.

Speaker 9 (02:55:43):
She has no boyfriend.

Speaker 89 (02:55:46):
I couldn't understand that she was very attractive, yes, just
as you are. Yes, But for some reason, no one
ever became seriously interested in her.

Speaker 52 (02:55:58):
And then was ding a z I understand by the way,
mister Revertt, did Martha Spencer say anything to you that
might lead you to believe she kind of played suicide alive?

Speaker 11 (02:56:10):
Oh?

Speaker 26 (02:56:10):
I can't say she did.

Speaker 49 (02:56:12):
All right, here, you needn't stay.

Speaker 89 (02:56:13):
I mean, I'm sure you must have noticed how strangely
she's been acting lately.

Speaker 26 (02:56:18):
I've come to think of it. She didn't quite seem
to be herself.

Speaker 52 (02:56:22):
I see, well. I don't think we need to trouble
you any father, mus Spencer. These were just routine questions.
The coroner's verdict was suicide. I'm satisfied, of course.

Speaker 4 (02:56:36):
I'll be running along.

Speaker 26 (02:56:37):
Oh, don't bother to show me out. I can find
my wife.

Speaker 46 (02:56:40):
Thank you, goodbye, good bye, goodbye, good black.

Speaker 26 (02:56:46):
Well Mona.

Speaker 46 (02:56:47):
I think I better be running along to I'll.

Speaker 26 (02:56:50):
Call you in the morning.

Speaker 24 (02:56:51):
Here, how much you go there?

Speaker 49 (02:56:54):
I don't want to be alone for a while.

Speaker 46 (02:56:57):
Oh, yes, I know, but we'll see him, Mona.

Speaker 26 (02:56:59):
I thought, perhaps, in you what's happened, you might want
to postpone our marriage.

Speaker 16 (02:57:05):
For a while.

Speaker 9 (02:57:08):
I feel glad enough.

Speaker 89 (02:57:10):
Of course, we can't help her.

Speaker 87 (02:57:12):
Now we need those bets and enjoy our happiness.

Speaker 9 (02:57:17):
Jewish Bill, Yeah, you.

Speaker 24 (02:57:23):
You haven't kissed me since Martha died.

Speaker 85 (02:57:26):
Oh sorry, I love you, Bill, I now you're mine.

Speaker 4 (02:57:39):
Whatever you were listening to, the whitler brought to you by.

Speaker 86 (02:57:53):
Your friends, the Signal Oil company marketers, the famous Signal
gasoline your best buy. To remember to let every ghost
that will remind you that you do go farther with
Signal gasoline.

Speaker 9 (02:58:29):
Well, several weeks went by.

Speaker 46 (02:58:31):
Martha thought she'd better wait a little while.

Speaker 4 (02:58:33):
To make certain that the cold blooded murder of.

Speaker 24 (02:58:36):
Her sister was not sec Yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:58:39):
She was a clever girl.

Speaker 33 (02:58:40):
As Martha Spencer closing as her twin sister Mona. Martha
knew she looked exactly like Momas, but did she.

Speaker 46 (02:58:48):
Talk exactly like her, and walk and act and make
love exactly like moonas at first the possibility bothered else.

Speaker 49 (02:59:00):
Kiss me?

Speaker 26 (02:59:00):
Okay, Bill?

Speaker 88 (02:59:07):
Yeah, if something that so cool, I haven't done it
them to make it feel different.

Speaker 24 (02:59:14):
You know better than that eating nothing.

Speaker 49 (02:59:19):
I just wanted it if i'd changing.

Speaker 46 (02:59:23):
No, you haven't changed, Morna.

Speaker 4 (02:59:26):
You will never change, never in this world.

Speaker 46 (02:59:37):
Yes, everything was going all right.

Speaker 33 (02:59:40):
Bill didn't suspected thing, neither did the police, and after
a few weeks Master felt secure. Bill didn't act to
see it, expected it to act. There was a sort
of a chile detachment and his attitude torder, but perhaps
that was only because he was shy and reticon.

Speaker 46 (02:59:57):
To show his feelings before they were married. The or
the thing to do was to hurry up to marry.

Speaker 49 (03:00:04):
No, why should we wait?

Speaker 22 (03:00:06):
Why don't we go ahead and get married right away?

Speaker 9 (03:00:10):
Okay?

Speaker 4 (03:00:11):
I suppose we might as well get it over with.

Speaker 49 (03:00:14):
That's the fun way to talk about, how Mary.

Speaker 26 (03:00:17):
Okay, So we'll get married. Drive out to Raleigh, a
long the like?

Speaker 49 (03:00:23):

Oh?

Speaker 49 (03:00:29):
Oh, yes, of cost you anything you see?

Speaker 4 (03:00:42):
Hmm?

Speaker 46 (03:00:43):
That's strange, isn't it?

Speaker 9 (03:00:44):
My?

Speaker 4 (03:00:46):
You don't know what he.

Speaker 46 (03:00:46):
Meant by that, do you.

Speaker 33 (03:00:48):
There must be some secret between Mona and Bill that
you didn't know about, but never mind.

Speaker 46 (03:00:53):
It can't be very important and he didn't suspect you don't.

Speaker 33 (03:00:57):
Worry about it. If you drive out to Raleigh, go
to the courthouse and sign the application. But now there's
something else.

Speaker 9 (03:01:05):
You'll watch your maid if Bill signs the application.

Speaker 26 (03:01:09):
For I like you, Bill, It's all right, I signed correctly.
People see yourself, Mona, what's getting into you next?

Oh well, then I wait a moment now and later
in the divorce course. And see, let me check these names.

Speaker 33 (03:01:39):
Here again, Miss Mona Spencer and mister George Garrett. There
was something wrong, something terribly wrong.

Speaker 9 (03:01:53):
Why did Bill sign the license?

Speaker 24 (03:01:55):
George Garrett a cold chill cushion, Mom's hide.

Speaker 46 (03:01:59):
But you didn't say anything to him.

Speaker 24 (03:02:01):
On the way home, he kipped to the bay.

Speaker 46 (03:02:03):
Celebrate the occasion by going out that evening go to
the roadhouse up in the mountains.

Speaker 4 (03:02:09):
She accepted a.

Speaker 9 (03:02:10):
Court and told him she'd be ready at seven.

Speaker 46 (03:02:13):
She left his car and went up the steps to
her home. Yes, her home, now all hers.

Speaker 4 (03:02:21):
She opened the front.

Speaker 24 (03:02:22):
Door, and as she closed it, something on the stairs
caught her attention.

Speaker 26 (03:02:33):
She looked at the top of the stairs.

Speaker 4 (03:02:35):
There was nothing there.

Speaker 46 (03:02:36):
She shrugged her shoulders and walked up. Just her imagination
or was it.

Speaker 33 (03:02:46):
She paused at the top and looked at the rugs.
This was where she had killed Mona.

Speaker 26 (03:02:52):
She could almost see her hear her.

Speaker 24 (03:02:58):
Fool, Yeah, stop it, master, you begin to hear things.

Speaker 9 (03:03:10):
She went to her room, Mona's room.

Speaker 33 (03:03:16):
It was good to be alone, to ensure a Mona's trussol,
all those wonderful things.

Speaker 46 (03:03:22):
She slid open the closet door, sus the beautiful dresses,
which one.

Speaker 4 (03:03:28):
If she were tonight.

Speaker 33 (03:03:30):
She tried to concentrate, sat down at the mirror, and
there was her reflection, Mona's reflection.

Speaker 46 (03:03:40):
Oh now, isn't that a shame?

Speaker 9 (03:03:42):
Breaking that beautiful mirror and that fine bottle of perfumed.
She got up and paced the floor.

Speaker 24 (03:03:48):
She simply couldn't get it out of her mind.

Speaker 46 (03:03:50):
Why Why why did Bill sign his name George Garnett?

Speaker 4 (03:03:56):
And why the Mona's words?

Speaker 9 (03:03:57):
She's coming back to her.

Speaker 24 (03:04:15):

I look, Mona, I don't I remember the part of
the bargain was catering to of whims barging.

There, we're here.

Speaker 49 (03:06:34):

Speaker 24 (03:07:07):
You're not gonna listen to me now.

Speaker 26 (03:07:09):
You had your own way long enough, always talking, always ordering,
amending while I'm not gonna go show up at Mona.

Speaker 90 (03:07:15):
I'm not going to marry you. I'n only torture a
man so long and then he does something about it.
And I'm gonna do something about.

Speaker 9 (03:07:21):

Speaker 26 (03:07:23):
Yes, yes, I'm going to chillure. I try to reason
with you.

Speaker 90 (03:07:27):
They please it our threaten, but you'll only laugh at me,
he thought, because you knew my secret.

Speaker 26 (03:07:32):
Could force me to marry it. When I'm trying to
go to prison and marry you.

Speaker 90 (03:07:37):
I won't marry you, and I won't go to prison
because this is going to look like an accident.

Speaker 9 (03:07:41):
I got to press down.

Speaker 26 (03:07:43):
I can conquer.

Speaker 46 (03:07:44):
Everyone in this evening.

Speaker 90 (03:07:46):
When they find you, they'll think you took that curve
too fast, and they'll pronounce the accidental death.

Speaker 26 (03:07:51):
This is your car. There's nothing to connect me with
even being here this evening.

Speaker 90 (03:07:56):
I'll be rid of you. I'll be free to marry low.
Oh you didn't know Loid, did you. You didn't even
know such a person existed, did he?

Speaker 9 (03:08:07):
Well, she does.

Speaker 4 (03:08:08):
I'm in love with her.

Speaker 26 (03:08:09):
I love her, not you, and I'm going to marry it.

Speaker 9 (03:08:14):

I can't trust you, I trust your want of a secret,
and you try to blackmailing, black nail me in a marrying.

Speaker 9 (03:08:24):
Down.

Speaker 90 (03:08:28):
No, let you have to make you listen, to tell
you why you're going to die. Wouldn't do to have
him to find your arm tied together.

Speaker 26 (03:08:35):
That wouldn't look quite like an accident that would well, it.

Speaker 9 (03:08:40):
Is it, mama. Now you won't feel a thing one
your pretty little hair.

Speaker 46 (03:08:48):
Now a gag, no, a break, clutch.

Speaker 4 (03:09:00):
Stop the.

Speaker 26 (03:09:15):
Goodbye moment, pleasant stream.

Speaker 86 (03:09:37):
The wisdom will return in just a moment with a
strange ending of tonight's story. Meantime, let's test your memory.
How long has it been since you has a lubricant
changed in your transmission and differential. That's an important question
because the tremendous pressure under which the gears and most
modern cars operate gradually pulverizes tiny metal particles and turns

(03:10:01):
even the best lubricants into a grinding harmful of braces.
That's why if it's been five thousand miles or over
six months, can to head your transmission and differential lubricant
chain your neighborhood Signal gasoline dealers suggest that now it's
a good time to do it. Now when you bring

(03:10:21):
your car in to have it signal safety chart lubricated
for winter protection. Gear signal dealer has the equipment to
thoroughly flush out the old, worn out lubricants, and his
signal safety chart shows.

Speaker 24 (03:10:36):

But he forgot that Inspector Dudley would check up on

Speaker 33 (03:11:24):
And see his name sign big as like the name

Poor Bills the only committed murder to protect his secret,

Speaker 9 (03:11:49):
That it wasn't Mona he killed, but Martha.

Speaker 33 (03:11:53):
And Martha had the slightest idea that he had a secret,
so she would never have given him away.

Too bad moth that couldn't have known the.

Speaker 22 (03:14:27):
I'll draw up to the fire.

Speaker 19 (03:14:29):
And gaze into the embers, gaze.

Speaker 91 (03:14:32):
Into warm deep, and soon you'll see inside a house
way down in Mexico, Mexico. We want a bunch of
engines made it. They're all dead down them all as ticks.
The Spaniards conquered, but sometimes the dead are very much alive.

(03:14:52):
Now begin our story about the Knife of sacrifice, the
knife secret.

Speaker 4 (03:15:08):
And gives this digan.

Speaker 37 (03:15:10):
That's another robbery, Pete.

Speaker 22 (03:15:11):
There, well, certainly the champions tonight, mister yas.

Speaker 37 (03:15:14):
You're deal you and I'll take him for a ride
this time, Pete, I doubt it. I can't keep my
mind on cards while that Mustisa out there keeps up
his rotten fiddling. Isn't he ever going to stop?

Speaker 22 (03:15:25):
You're not still objecting because none Old Jesus the sat
An a he's beloved in this gorgeous moonlight.

Speaker 42 (03:15:30):
If it puts that fat Kukovas in good humor, Hei, gee,
I hope he keeps it up all night, so do I.

Speaker 37 (03:15:36):
Then perhaps you'll think of something else to feudis besides
to Tiller's and Fijoli's.

Speaker 4 (03:15:40):
Tiller's pro jolies.

Speaker 37 (03:15:41):
And don't forget the Angilades. If I ever get out
of this internal country, I hope never to taste sea
smell or hear anything Mexican again, as long as I live.

Speaker 22 (03:15:51):
And that remark from a gentleman who is Christin Pedro
Jose Marie Morales.

Speaker 37 (03:15:56):
Since we came to the catl and Pete, you've certainly
acquired a grudge against the land of your ancestor. Chuck
that will you? You know, the only thing Mexican about
me is my name and my looks. I can't even
speak the language of the blasted country. I wish you
and your wife would lay off about my half breed ancestry.
You hear that unus, Pete would have us forget that.
On the maternal side. He's a director's sendant of the
Emperor Mother Humor.

Speaker 22 (03:16:17):
All right, Pete, I promise never again to mention that
you resemble an astaching and that I give anything to
see your bronze beauty draped enough feathered cloak and head dress.

Speaker 9 (03:16:26):
But I got the cards, picked them up.

Speaker 37 (03:16:28):
Oh, let's not play anymore.

Speaker 4 (03:16:29):
Bridging.

Speaker 37 (03:16:30):
This tumbled down adobe shack seems more out of place
than ever. Tonight you didn't expect Rich Culton accommodation on
an archaeological expedition in the wilderness.

Speaker 42 (03:16:36):
I hope, oh, Pete is done, and they don't tonight.
Grettest soon behind. But we came here to look for
and then ig you feel fine again, and.

Speaker 1 (03:16:45):
We find what we came here to look for.

Speaker 60 (03:16:47):
I won't feel anything.

Speaker 37 (03:16:49):
I'll be dead. Oh, snap out of it. How can
you be so discouraging when this morning we found the
proof that we're searching in the right spot, proof that
obsidian knife.

Speaker 9 (03:16:58):
What of that?

Speaker 37 (03:16:58):
Prove some astec lost it here four or five hundred
years ago?

Speaker 4 (03:17:02):
But Pete Dr Meyer.

Speaker 37 (03:17:04):
And I have explained that it's a sacred knife, a
life of sacrifice, used only by high priests. Such things
weren't carelessly lost any more than the altar vessels of
the Christian Church would be.

Speaker 42 (03:17:14):
I should say no, it was buried hidden in the
grown wouldn't I designed not chance?

Speaker 50 (03:17:21):
You know it's a clue to what it all seeking.

Speaker 22 (03:17:23):
It's there only a question of time now before you
and Karl and doctor Meyer find the treasure.

Speaker 44 (03:17:27):
Oh.

Speaker 37 (03:17:27):
I know I'm acting like a bad sports units. But
we've been digging in this god forsaken hole for nearly
six months now. And oh it's all right for Karl
and dark Hair. They are scientists, but I'm only a
greedy engineer. I want the goal that's supposed to be
buried here, and we haven't seen a glimmer of it.
We saw the hem embracelet that Mosquito found who are
gold it was?

Speaker 92 (03:17:48):
And of the age of montitumus all like fools, we
all jumped to the conclusion that when Cortez sacked the
city of Mexico, some of the high priests buried some
of the temple treasures somewhere around the Catalan agrees.

Speaker 37 (03:18:00):
That much of the city's wealth was hidden to keep
it out of the Spanish heads. This is certainly a
reasonable spot to look for.

Speaker 42 (03:18:06):
I know this is the place that priest that plus it,
and so does the picture writing cow deciphered also the
geological strap in.

Speaker 7 (03:18:14):
This be found that knight this morning, that knife, which.

Speaker 28 (03:18:17):
Could only have belonged to the kind of high priests
who would have hit the fridges.

Speaker 9 (03:18:21):
Of the temples.

Speaker 28 (03:18:22):
Won't think of the ancient associations of such a trashy.

Speaker 37 (03:18:25):
Boy, even with the cut, which the Mexican government will
demand out of anything. Win the millionaires if you follows
are right? Gold, pure gold, millions and millions of dollars
worth of it might be buried here. The historical value,
the beauty of it, that's only what it means in
American dollars that interests me.

Speaker 22 (03:18:44):
May I see that knife again when you found.

Speaker 7 (03:18:47):
I certainly did.

Speaker 37 (03:18:48):
You've passed it over pet your curses all right, yeah,
take it quickly.

Speaker 1 (03:18:52):
I don't like the whold of the thing.

Speaker 22 (03:18:53):
It hasn't very pleasant assoviations, has it. You say it's
made of gloss?

Speaker 37 (03:18:57):
Doctor Meyer, sure, obsidio use world honey glass.

Speaker 22 (03:19:02):
You're sure it could use. Were human sacrifices called?

Speaker 37 (03:19:05):
I've seen too many such knives to be in doubt
about it. As human sacrifice was an everyday occurrence here
at the time of the Spanish conquest. Ceremonial daggers such
as this were very common. The gods of the Aztecs
were perhaps the most blood thirsty ever worshiped.

Speaker 22 (03:19:18):
How was the knife used?

Speaker 37 (03:19:20):
The victim of the sacrifice was laid prostrate on a
great green stone curved upwards in the middle to elevate
the chest. Then the priest plunged the knife in his
breast and tore out the living heart. Do you wonder
I don't want to be reminded that such people were
my ancestors.

Speaker 9 (03:19:34):
You know.

Speaker 37 (03:19:34):
I have a theory that when the treasure we're looking
for was buried, this knife was probably used to sacrifice
a victim to the spirits of the earth, or to
the gods of hate and war to gain their favor,
so they watch over it as it were. I gave
you that crazy idea. That isn't crazy. That's been the
custom of all peoples. Some of them were assing a
much less primitive religion than the Aztics, and with the Estics,

(03:19:56):
anything or nothing was made an excuse for human sacrifice.
Put that knife away out of my sight.

Speaker 22 (03:20:01):
Had given me the ship is too Yeah, Pete, put
it in the door here.

Speaker 37 (03:20:04):
Oh, don't hand it to me.

Speaker 3 (03:20:06):
I don't want to touch it again.

Speaker 37 (03:20:07):
Oh, don't be such a booby.

Speaker 4 (03:20:09):
All right, give it to me.

Speaker 37 (03:20:12):
It's funny when I hold it in my hand, I
seem to see the great green stone you spoke about,
and a victim.

Speaker 10 (03:20:22):
For the sacrifice?

Speaker 2 (03:20:24):
Are you taking duct?

Speaker 16 (03:20:25):
Take it out of my hand?

Speaker 24 (03:20:26):
Put out sight?

Speaker 4 (03:20:27):
Shoot? Sure?

Speaker 37 (03:20:29):
Where else is the matter with you tonight? You haven't
been yourself since we found that thing. I'll go out
and take a walk. Maybe I'll snap out of it.
My word, even no, No, I want to be alone.

Speaker 16 (03:20:40):
I'm all right.

Speaker 37 (03:20:42):
That's whole thing. Mexican out there has begun to play again.
He doesn't play off a killing you man, will stop
that killing.

Speaker 10 (03:20:51):
Stop it.

Speaker 27 (03:20:51):
I can't stop.

Speaker 22 (03:20:52):
You know he doesn't understand d you'll understand this fight.

Speaker 9 (03:20:55):
He st him from.

Speaker 20 (03:21:00):
Me.

Speaker 93 (03:21:02):
Take your hands off me. That's done, held of his hands.
Don't be holding it's freaking like a man.

Speaker 2 (03:21:11):
All right now?

Speaker 22 (03:21:14):
His bullets didn't hit not.

Speaker 26 (03:21:17):
What did I do?

Speaker 10 (03:21:18):
What did I do?

Speaker 37 (03:21:19):
You tried to kill a MANU full exel.

Speaker 20 (03:21:21):
I didn't.

Speaker 7 (03:21:22):
I didn't hurt him.

Speaker 37 (03:21:24):
No, thanks to your rotten bakmanship.

Speaker 9 (03:21:26):
Thank god.

Speaker 37 (03:21:27):
Oh keep that gun car, don't let me have a
habit again.

Speaker 33 (03:21:31):
Oh?

Speaker 7 (03:21:31):
What happened to you?

Speaker 9 (03:21:31):
Pete?

Speaker 22 (03:21:32):
He suddenly became a raving lunity.

Speaker 37 (03:21:34):
I don't know something suddenly I just wasn't myself any
longer I was.

Speaker 24 (03:21:40):
I don't know.

Speaker 37 (03:21:42):
I was as good a shot as you call. That
man would be dead.

Speaker 19 (03:21:47):
What happened to me?

Speaker 22 (03:21:48):

Speaker 37 (03:21:49):
Pulled yourself together?

Speaker 22 (03:21:51):
What happened to me? Tell me what happened to me?
Make him sit down in that chair. I'll get him
a drink?

Speaker 9 (03:21:55):

Speaker 33 (03:21:56):
Man?

Speaker 9 (03:21:58):
All right now?

Speaker 37 (03:22:00):
And you'll never do such a crazy thing again. But
what made me do here?

Speaker 22 (03:22:03):
Think this?

Speaker 4 (03:22:08):
Thanks? I have no but it's the wrong with you.

Speaker 42 (03:22:11):
You've events been used to the city. Just quiet here,
these woods, these mountains, they have.

Speaker 4 (03:22:16):
Been too different for you.

Speaker 22 (03:22:18):
Yes, I think it's coming for a long time. You've
got to have a change, all of us.

Speaker 15 (03:22:22):
Have you see?

Speaker 22 (03:22:23):
Men work like pet animals all day, and when night comes,
the best thing we can think of to do it
is to sit around and play bridge.

Speaker 4 (03:22:29):
We may play pinnacle for a chain, but we.

Speaker 22 (03:22:31):
Don't play at anything. We all make work of everything
we do. Pizza out thirst just now might have happened
to any of us. How it was impossible to live
with last week. Before that, no one could speak to
doctor Meyer, and I well, I was a scream. Sometimes
we're all on the verge of a nervous blow up.

Speaker 26 (03:22:48):
Unus is right.

Speaker 37 (03:22:49):
We've got to get out of ourselves occasionally. But what
can we do alone at night except play cards to talk?

Speaker 22 (03:22:56):
Or we must do something. It'll be impossible to take seriously.

Speaker 20 (03:22:59):
Something chin something, Oh, I know.

Speaker 22 (03:23:02):
What they're going to do.

Speaker 4 (03:23:03):
Where are you going?

Speaker 22 (03:23:04):
I thought of just the thing. It's terribly infantile, but
we may have some fun with it, and we can't
take it seriously. I found it Holy smoke works down
a planchet table. I slipped it in the trunk when
we left the States, and I almost forgot my head.
We're all going to use it to talk to the spirits.

Speaker 4 (03:23:22):
This purity.

Speaker 22 (03:23:23):
I thought of it when casts the techs making a
sacrifice to the spirits so they'd guard their very treasure.
Maybe those same spirits will tell us where it's hidden.

Speaker 37 (03:23:32):
A friendship table is like a new job board, doctor,
only it writes messages.

Speaker 4 (03:23:36):
With a pencil.

Speaker 22 (03:23:36):
Men off silly, but a lot of fun. And the
change here. All of your door chairs around this table.

Speaker 37 (03:23:43):
I have paper and pencils, and put out all the lems.

Speaker 22 (03:23:45):
Carl, it's more bookie in the dark.

Speaker 37 (03:23:47):
All right here, you were just a pencil.

Speaker 4 (03:23:49):
It was such a lot of nonsense.

Speaker 37 (03:23:51):
But us has the right idea, doc, No, this is
what we need. Yeah, doctors, I can get it. With
all this moonlight streaming in.

Speaker 22 (03:23:58):
Now there's all play. Our finger keeps lightly on the
little table, and hold a thought. Shall we ask at
the exact spots to find the asstic gold?

Speaker 2 (03:24:07):
Might as well?

Speaker 37 (03:24:09):
That's on all our minds.

Speaker 4 (03:24:10):
O such is stealing this. It's good of you to
try and make me forget.

Speaker 37 (03:24:14):
I've almost murdered a man I'm grateful to you.

Speaker 22 (03:24:17):
Please, we're going to play now, all right.

Speaker 37 (03:24:21):
I wonder if the spirits could tell us where the
gold is hidden.

Speaker 22 (03:24:24):
Don't you dare take this thing seriously?

Speaker 36 (03:24:26):
Oh, of course not.

Speaker 22 (03:24:28):
It's pooky though, sitting in the shadows that the moon
might make.

Speaker 37 (03:24:32):
How could you have thought that moon romantic humus. It's
some moon of blood shining over a bloody lamb head.
Step out of it. I'm trying to figure out what
made me shoot at Manuel. Maybe it's the blood of
my murderous ancestors who pore hearts from living bodies. Please,
maybe this land up theirs is making me a bus
to typeet.

Speaker 4 (03:24:51):
You talk like a fool.

Speaker 22 (03:24:52):
Stop talking all together and keep your mind on the question. Besides,
we're doing this, give me the creep thing things like that,
and it's dark rooman.

Speaker 37 (03:25:01):
I won't say anything more. It is a strange moon.
I see shadows in the woll.

Speaker 4 (03:25:08):
Stop it.

Speaker 37 (03:25:09):
Where's the froom here?

Speaker 9 (03:25:10):
This thing?

Speaker 36 (03:25:10):
Don't move?

Speaker 37 (03:25:11):
Come on, Blanchet, Where did the Astecs hide their treasure
from the temples?

Speaker 22 (03:25:15):
You've got to be the sticks of the spirits like this,
great spirits of the dead, give up my secrets. Reveal
to us the thing that we should know.

Speaker 37 (03:25:27):
Such a lot of non quiets.

Speaker 4 (03:25:30):
The thing is beginning to move. You're pushing.

Speaker 1 (03:25:32):
I am not, none of it is.

Speaker 22 (03:25:34):
It's the spirit.

Speaker 28 (03:25:55):
The planchet is going fast. I ain't pushing. Feet are youth?

Speaker 37 (03:26:00):
Oh look at Pete, Pete, old man, you're sitting in
a dandy shadow.

Speaker 22 (03:26:06):
That shadow wasn't there before?

Speaker 2 (03:26:07):
What makes it?

Speaker 19 (03:26:08):
What meats?

Speaker 28 (03:26:08):
This little table moved?

Speaker 15 (03:26:10):
Pete?

Speaker 37 (03:26:11):
Why don't you answer?

Speaker 4 (03:26:12):
Pete is pushing the table.

Speaker 22 (03:26:13):
I can feel that shadow. It makes Pete look as
though he had on a favorite cloak of feathered head dress,
as though he were an attic.

Speaker 10 (03:26:21):
Pete, why you're so still?

Speaker 19 (03:26:24):
Something's wrong with him?

Speaker 4 (03:26:26):
Light those lamps.

Speaker 37 (03:26:26):
He's choking someone heading by the throat.

Speaker 28 (03:26:29):
He's struggling, fighting be something that ain't there.

Speaker 22 (03:26:32):
I'll call the shadow the shadow of an Indian and
a standard cloak.

Speaker 37 (03:26:35):
It is call like those lash. Yes, yes, dog Pete
Cole is a dead man.

Speaker 4 (03:26:40):
Yeah, but he's breathing and.

Speaker 37 (03:26:43):
I got a left here.

Speaker 22 (03:26:44):
Oh this is dusky.

Speaker 4 (03:26:46):
Oh, he's only fainted. He's coming to now, Pete, Pete,
this blood of my ancestors, call dog Pete.

Speaker 28 (03:26:58):
What's happened to you. I, oh, now I know why
I tried to shoot that man. Something's trying to steal
my body.

Speaker 37 (03:27:07):
Something's trying to steal my body.

Speaker 16 (03:27:09):
Pete's not nonsense.

Speaker 4 (03:27:10):
I'm was talking.

Speaker 22 (03:27:10):
Oh look at the plainship wrote on this paper.

Speaker 37 (03:27:14):
Dorc it's s tech picture writing. Pete wrote that I
held him boost the bull chair. Pete couldn't write it.
He doesn't know, Estech.

Speaker 4 (03:27:23):
I know what it means.

Speaker 7 (03:27:25):
It tells whether I'm.

Speaker 37 (03:27:26):
The treasure, the treasure guarded by the dead.

Speaker 4 (03:27:42):
Jesus.

Speaker 33 (03:27:42):
This is the place.

Speaker 2 (03:27:43):
This is the place.

Speaker 37 (03:27:45):
Did you missed his horse dig?

Speaker 2 (03:27:47):
Please?

Speaker 37 (03:27:47):
I knew that what I wrote that might would lead
us to the treasure. Pete, you couldn't have made that
picture writing, But I didn't make it.

Speaker 7 (03:27:53):
Who did?

Speaker 37 (03:27:53):
I don't know, But I refuse to believe that there
was anything supernatural about your thinking so and the action
of that plan, Shet, I'll have to see the treasure
actually uncovered before I will believe this is really the spot.
This is the spot, and I might un wish that
from Chef revealed it. At two different times, something gained
possession of me body and soul. This is this foot,
all right, ain't we are already from the few things

(03:28:16):
in the upper layers. I take things in a minute.

Speaker 42 (03:28:19):
He's back when I'm going to lay there your entire treasure.
But I agreeve it, curlve, and he says, oh, dear rest,
these craziness.

Speaker 37 (03:28:25):
I will have it your own way. If the gold
is here and I can get out of this blasted
country alive with some of it, I'll be satisfied. What
do you mean if you can get out of line?

Speaker 4 (03:28:34):
Just what I say.

Speaker 37 (03:28:36):
You believe that human sacrifice was made to ensure the
guardianship of spirits for this treasure. I believe another must
be made before those spirits will give it up.

Speaker 26 (03:28:43):
All right?

Speaker 37 (03:28:45):
With the superstition you're talking lately, I'm beginning to think
one of your Indian ancestors hells it up house inside
your brain, snap out of it.

Speaker 28 (03:28:54):
Over there, they found a treasure, they pound a pleasure.

Speaker 15 (03:29:02):
What is it?

Speaker 26 (03:29:02):
What have you found?

Speaker 7 (03:29:03):
Look, signories, bombs.

Speaker 37 (03:29:05):
They've uncovered calm, a human skeleton sea Snoris, and it's
lying upon a great green stone, a stone that curves
upwards to elevate the chest, the stone where the priest
lay his sacrifice to tear off the living heart. There's

(03:29:31):
nothing we can do with him unus since the men
uncovered that greenstone and the skeleton, he's absolutely convinced that
the only way we'll ever reach the gold is by
means of a human sacrifice to what he calls its
guardian spirits. Some man's mad, mad as a muchare?

Speaker 22 (03:29:46):
I wonder it's been over a week. Did you've found
that stone?

Speaker 25 (03:29:50):
Calm?

Speaker 22 (03:29:50):
And that's all you've found?

Speaker 37 (03:29:52):
How can you say that when you've seen the vault
of masonry it covered inside that vault must be the
temple treasures, But you.

Speaker 22 (03:29:58):
Have been unable to penetrate them that vault.

Speaker 37 (03:30:00):
Because the priests did their work so well. It's as
strong as a modern safe.

Speaker 22 (03:30:04):
You have modern tools. The thoughts of good forced any
modern safe.

Speaker 37 (03:30:07):
We've had accidents without tools. I've told you one on
top of another. But when we get that fresh dynamite
from Mexico City tomorrow and some decent decidating apparatus car
why do you.

Speaker 22 (03:30:17):
Suppose the explosives you already have never failed to work before?
Why will they work now anywhere excepting on that vault?
Why do your tools break or lose their edges?

Speaker 37 (03:30:28):
Why if you're suggesting there's a supernatural reason, cap it.
I hear enough of that stuff from Pete. He's got
all the workmen believing it. How failure, the breakover that
vault has been due to simple accidents, coincidences. There's nothing supernatural.

Speaker 1 (03:30:42):
In the world.

Speaker 22 (03:30:43):
Yet by the supernatural, you found where the vault was buried.

Speaker 9 (03:30:46):
Pete lied to us.

Speaker 37 (03:30:47):
He moved that tenshift table, and all the time he
must have known the ancient picture writing and.

Speaker 22 (03:30:52):
The location of that vault and the great greenstone that
covet it. Oh Carl, He's never been in Mexico before.

Speaker 37 (03:30:58):
But if it was a spirit who guided his hand
that night, why should it have revealed the hiding place?

Speaker 22 (03:31:04):
Because it was blood hungry the hat it's thatcrificial knife
demands another victim, Oh Carl. I've come to believe as
Pete does, remember the theater, to reveal that vault through
a descendant of the race which hid it, not through
us with ancestors destroyed that race.

Speaker 23 (03:31:20):
In this religion.

Speaker 37 (03:31:21):
If if there's any truth in that bunk, Pete isn't
in danger at all as he thinks.

Speaker 22 (03:31:26):
No, but we are, Oh Karl, I've grown afraid in
the last few days. I can't bear to look at
the moon at night. It's a moon of blood that
Peter's called if people worship the moon you've told me,
but there other gods, a moon of blood shining over
a land of blood. Let's go away from here, can't.

Speaker 37 (03:31:49):
Let's go away before we open that bolt and find
the treasure.

Speaker 22 (03:31:52):
Yes, it's not the white man.

Speaker 37 (03:31:53):
You're talking nonsense. Tomorrow we'll have the new exclusives, and
then we'll see what's in that boat. I'm gonna go
and join duct. He's waiting for me, Pete with him,
I don't know. I haven't seen him since this morning. Dear,
where's that obsidian knife? Did you put it away somewhere?
I took it from the drawer last night and laid
it on.

Speaker 22 (03:32:09):
The table here. I haven't seen it. Maybe Peter or
doctor Meyer.

Speaker 4 (03:32:12):
Doc hasn't got it.

Speaker 37 (03:32:13):
He's asking about it this morning, and Peter's afraid to
even touch the thing. I look, Oh, don't bother. Now,
I must run along. He's back in an hour or so.

Speaker 22 (03:32:20):
Good Bye here, goodbye.

Speaker 19 (03:32:26):
Blood and then blood.

Speaker 37 (03:32:30):
Holy moon, an avenging lad Pete, Oh, I never heard
you come in.

Speaker 22 (03:32:36):
You you stunted me card, just without the other door
if you want to catch.

Speaker 10 (03:32:40):
Up with him.

Speaker 22 (03:32:42):
Pete, what's the matter with you? You look close to
a different light.

Speaker 10 (03:32:46):
Life, perhaps the descendant of an estaking like.

Speaker 22 (03:32:50):
The shadow I thought I saw before your face that night,
the shadow that seemed to struggle with you, but you
said was trying to steal your body. You have that
nice car was looking for you had it in your hand.

Speaker 37 (03:33:01):
Is the knife of Holy Sacril, and he's took away
to me, He's den attainted you the way give away.

Speaker 10 (03:33:08):
Oh, God.

Speaker 37 (03:33:10):
Cannot let you scream now, and only to nightly remove
this gag, that you may scream once upon the Great
Green Stone, a scream which may reach the holy moon
of blood and the spirits of death, which God my
People's treasure. One scream upon the Great green Stone you
shall have tonight as I plunge this knife of sacrifice

(03:33:32):
into your breast and tear out of me. Where can
you just beat up? It's three hours since I went
home and she was gone. Then we should have remained
in the house and greeted for her. No, perhaps she
has come back while you're out here looking. But we

(03:33:52):
did wait in the house until it began to grow dark.
She never stays outside so light. All this crazy stuff
Peter has been sayings made her afraid of the moonlight.

Speaker 4 (03:34:00):
She's bid Pete. They used to take long walks together.

Speaker 37 (03:34:03):
Not since he began to get so queer.

Speaker 42 (03:34:04):
Then bone is very curled and it's never reasonable. Pete
has not been at the digging all afternoon.

Speaker 7 (03:34:11):
I bet anything.

Speaker 37 (03:34:12):
They'll find them safe now at their house. Maybe you're right,
Come on back and see. All right, she wouldn't be
over in this direction anyway from fossive habit. I suppose
we seem to have headed for the digging.

Speaker 4 (03:34:23):
At the diggings is the last place she would be.

Speaker 37 (03:34:25):
She don't like that big green stone.

Speaker 4 (03:34:27):
If he got there.

Speaker 37 (03:34:28):
Oh, come on, we'll get back to the house. The
moon is becoming right down. She's bound to be at home.
The moon of blood, she called it. It does look
strange and red tonight. Wait a minute, who's that over there?
Where on the back above the very bot that man
or some mestiefo. Perhaps he seems to be bowing. They

(03:34:50):
can queer gestures, yeah, bowing to that world. Now he
raises his arms and looks at the moon.

Speaker 12 (03:34:57):
That's funny, oh, trunk, I bet but no, duck, it's
Pete nice jo it is when that thing like a loon?

Speaker 37 (03:35:05):
Nothing, he's alone. I knew Unus wouldn't be with him.
Oh she must be at the sheck.

Speaker 28 (03:35:10):
Now come on, wait, what's Peak got there? Look that
big long bundle he's lifting from the shadow by that
three Come closer.

Speaker 37 (03:35:17):
Let's not waste time. I've got to get back to
the house dock. If I don't find Units there, you
will find her there.

Speaker 4 (03:35:22):
Don't follow my boy.

Speaker 28 (03:35:23):
What that bundle? Pete has laid it on the big
greens too.

Speaker 37 (03:35:27):
Let's not bother about him. I've got to find out
where Units is that bundle?

Speaker 9 (03:35:31):
Girl.

Speaker 28 (03:35:32):
It looks like a human body. Yes, it's tightlight in
a sheet. We're too far away to see if I
can see, there.

Speaker 4 (03:35:40):
Is a body.

Speaker 37 (03:35:41):
And that's not a sheet. It's a woman's dress. Good God,
that color. You must want a dress?

Speaker 93 (03:35:48):
That said it is Unus and Pee has a NiFe
in his hand, that life of sacrifice.

Speaker 28 (03:35:53):
Quick, for God's sake, called you too far of me,
become nickid.

Speaker 7 (03:35:55):
I have to make it.

Speaker 28 (03:35:56):
He's a man who got her con so No, he's
a lullic catch, a man who.

Speaker 37 (03:36:00):
Doesn't know what he's doing. Run, We've got the stuff.

Speaker 28 (03:36:03):
If we can't make it because he's mad, you've got
to shoot.

Speaker 10 (03:36:06):
Shoot him in your arm.

Speaker 26 (03:36:07):
In the leg.

Speaker 7 (03:36:08):
He's raising that knife.

Speaker 37 (03:36:09):
Opp I gotta shoot and make God forgive me.

Speaker 10 (03:36:14):
I shoot a.

Speaker 4 (03:36:15):
Chill, shoot you got him.

Speaker 28 (03:36:19):
He's wallen across your wave, across the big green stone,
ureus urous, I'm.

Speaker 37 (03:36:25):
Coming, yes there, yes, oh my darn, my darling.

Speaker 42 (03:36:32):
Beat deep Carl the knife of sacrifice as he felled.

Speaker 37 (03:36:40):
The boot that tanga mate, we left in there, but
we couldn't make him off. It's blown the boat by
open the treasure. It is ours to look at that
shadow by the vault.

Speaker 28 (03:36:50):
Let me see before and I take priests in feather.

Speaker 22 (03:36:53):
Grook, it's done. Now did appear within that chart to me?

Speaker 4 (03:36:56):
I can't look into that volt?

Speaker 22 (03:36:58):
Oh, preasure, treasure, God, dead men, Bob.

Speaker 28 (03:37:06):
Cross the Spanish armor, that mens hm.

Speaker 22 (03:37:12):
That is the treasure of the antics that we thought
a burial vaulte of hate and do.

Well, that's the end of that.

Tonight The Old Die Rich by H. L.

Speaker 27 (03:39:27):
Gold.

Speaker 7 (03:39:39):
The uniformed cop at the door told me to get lost.
The blue pape spotted me and told the man to
let me in. It was a shabby room, they always are.
There's a woman on the bed, an old woman with
white hair, thin enough to show the tight drawn scalp.
The medical examiner was going over her as if she
were a side of beef that you had to put
a federal grade stamp on.

Speaker 94 (03:39:59):
When are you going to stop taking this ham friend
of yours around of these cases out and just to
gratify his morbid curiosity.

Speaker 15 (03:40:06):
Forget about Weldon Dock.

Speaker 26 (03:40:08):
What did she die of?

Speaker 1 (03:40:09):
Not eating?

Speaker 21 (03:40:09):
Malnutrition?

Speaker 15 (03:40:10):
And I look doc in the top eureau drawer. She
had bank books showing thirty two thousand dollars from five
different banks.

Speaker 94 (03:40:17):
She had the price of malnutrition induced by senile psychosis.
They starve because they're less afraid of death than digging
into their savings.

Speaker 1 (03:40:25):
I don't know, Doc, It doesn't feel right to me.

Speaker 94 (03:40:27):
Listen, Weldon, Just because you get up on a stage
or on some half baked television show and make believe
you're seventy years old doesn't qualify you as an expert
on gerontology.

Speaker 7 (03:40:36):
Maybe not, Doc, But I went ball at twenty five,
and I've been playing old men ever since. There's a
lot more to it than just shuffling around and talking
in a high cracked voice.

Speaker 94 (03:40:45):
Yeah, there hasn't been an actor since Oder Skinner.

Speaker 1 (03:40:48):
Maybe, But the way I work, I have to get
inside the character.

Speaker 7 (03:40:52):
I have to decide when he was born, how he
got along with his father, where he went to school,
what he thinks of women.

Speaker 1 (03:40:57):
Everything about a character.

Speaker 94 (03:40:58):
There isn't there one of them these days can make
them heard past the fifth row.

Speaker 7 (03:41:01):
Look, I'm serious now. I've tried imagining myself growing weak
from hunger. I've tried to think of not even spending
a nickel to keep me from dying. Oh, I just
don't believe it.

Speaker 1 (03:41:11):
It isn't right. I don't feel it.

Speaker 94 (03:41:13):
Well, Lucky for me, I don't have to feel these
things inside of me, because I'm a doctor, not an actor. Sergeant.
Malnutrition induced by senile psychosis. I lord of the wicker
basket from Bellevulle. So long, Barrymore, Well, he's right, Mark.

Speaker 15 (03:41:30):
We get a couple of these cases every year. Some
old batstove and the death with seventeen thousand dollars in
old bills pinned on his union suit turns up.

Speaker 4 (03:41:38):
Bull of time.

Speaker 1 (03:41:39):
All it doesn't feel right. Well, he knows his business,
but he doesn't know old people.

Speaker 38 (03:41:43):
I do.

Speaker 7 (03:41:44):
It isn't easy to start to death, not when you
can buy day old bread at the bakery, or will
it vegetables. The grocer's ready to throw out. Anyone who's
willing to eat that stuff can stay alive from day
to day. Hunger is a oh, it's a pretty potent instinct.

Speaker 15 (03:41:58):
Maybe they get too sick to go out after old
bread or wilted vegetables.

Speaker 1 (03:42:01):
It takes weeks to die of starvation. Did you ever
try starving for weeks?

Speaker 4 (03:42:05):
Loop?

Speaker 33 (03:42:06):
Now?

Speaker 4 (03:42:06):
Did you? Well?

Speaker 7 (03:42:07):
The point is somebody would find out a janitor or
landlord somebody, and they'd get him to a hospital.

Speaker 15 (03:42:12):
I forget about it. Mark can't argue with it. Here
there were five bank books thirty two thousand dollars.

Speaker 1 (03:42:19):
She took good care of them. He look almost new.

Speaker 15 (03:42:21):
Sure she did most important thing in the world.

Speaker 2 (03:42:23):
Huh.

Speaker 7 (03:42:24):
April twenty third, nineteen seven, one hundred and fifty dollars.
The ink's pretty dark. Shouldn't it be faded? She probably
never took it out in the light. Any won't ever
think of testing the ink? What four banks records always check?
He's aren't forgeries? If that's what you're thinking, Well, I'd
like to get a chemist working on this inc now, Mark.

Speaker 15 (03:42:46):
Look, this is strictly against regulations. I got to take
these books down to the squad room and sign them.

Speaker 1 (03:42:50):
In pretty dark ink for nineteen seven.

Speaker 15 (03:42:54):
Well, it's about five o'clock in the afternoon night. I
guess I could hold them over tonight, bring them down
the property click in the morning.

Speaker 95 (03:43:01):
Good, I know where I can find a chemist, mister Weldon,
There's no doubt of it. The ink sample is typical
of inks used fifty years ago. Nineteen oh seven.

Speaker 15 (03:43:17):
Would be about right there. You see, Weldon and I
was supposed to go to the trattas tonight, but according
to the amount of oxidation, it's fresh enough to be
only a few months old.

Speaker 1 (03:43:27):
There, I was right.

Speaker 15 (03:43:28):
Well, could not be the result of unusually careful handling them?

Speaker 95 (03:43:33):
No, yes, yes, I suppose it could. An air tight compartment,
perhaps sealed with one of the inert gases or a
vacuum that might account for the lack of normal aging.

Speaker 7 (03:43:44):
Lou, you can't keep inert gases and a top bureau
drawer and a fourth floor walk up.

Speaker 15 (03:43:49):
Yeah, well, it's probably some simple explanation.

Speaker 7 (03:43:53):
A fresh ink half a century old. I've been going
out on these cases for about a year. It's my
specialty playing old people. And when I'm not working television
or something on Broadway, I go down to the homes
for the aged of the parks, or just watch Blue

(03:44:16):
Pape's a old friend of mine, and he put me
on these malnutrition cases. There was more to it than
just picking up color and tricks of the trade. There
had to be a better reason for it. You can't,
Jeff start to death with upwards of thirty thousand dollars
right at your fingertips, not without at least buying a
bowl of soup. I had a run of television that

(03:44:38):
kept me busy for about a month. Then Lou Pape
called me up and asked me to come down to belfue.

Speaker 94 (03:44:43):
I autopsy if you wanted, Sergeant, but I can give
you the cause of death right now. Malnutrition due to
senile psychosis.

Speaker 15 (03:44:50):
What's up, lo, Well Mark, an old guy was found
wandering around down on Hester Street suffering from malnutrition. He
had seventeen thousand dollars in cash inside the of his jacket.

Speaker 1 (03:45:01):
Is he alive?

Speaker 15 (03:45:02):
No, not now he isn't. I's got him in the
room there, but he was stumbling around when the cop
on the beat picked him up. Did he say anything, Well,
he talked to the cop. Pretty smart young kid, seems
the old man kept talking about money, about his wife,
she must have been dead twenty years. And then just
before he went out completely, he did say something maybe
three or four times. Well, what was it El Greco?

Speaker 1 (03:45:27):
You mean the artist?

Speaker 15 (03:45:28):
Well that's what Snagowitz said. He's the officer who picked
him up said he remembered he'd heard the name on
that television quiz program, you know, the jockey. Who's the
odd expert.

Speaker 94 (03:45:37):
Grec Probably some Greek restaurant where he was bumming his meals.
Are you sure you want not top seeds out?

Speaker 4 (03:45:43):
And it's late.

Speaker 15 (03:45:44):
I won't get to do it till lamarrow, All right,
take your time.

Speaker 1 (03:45:47):
Do there's a something else isn't here?

Speaker 4 (03:45:50):
Lou? Well?

Speaker 15 (03:45:51):
Maybe Mark? He found the old guy's room and there
was an ad thumbtacked over the sink. Nothing too unusual.

Speaker 1 (03:45:58):
Yeah, there it is.

Speaker 7 (03:46:01):
Men and women wanted light work suitable for old people,
no references required.

Speaker 15 (03:46:07):
Well, I checked it with Lieutenant. He says to forget it,
says it figures for an old guy to be interested
in the nad like that.

Speaker 1 (03:46:13):
An old guy was seventeen thousand dollars in cash.

Speaker 15 (03:46:15):
Yeah, well I didn't figure. I'd argue with lieutenant.

Speaker 1 (03:46:19):
Do you mind if I keep it?

Speaker 33 (03:46:20):
No?

Speaker 2 (03:46:20):
Go ahead.

Speaker 7 (03:46:28):
It was an old brown stone house in the East eighties.
I got in line with the rest of the applicants.
My face was lined with Polodian wrinkles, and I wore
an antique shiny suit and run down shoes. It was
a good makeup job. I looked more authentic than the
rest of the old timers. They were waiting for the interview.
I finally came up to where a woman was asking
the questions.

Speaker 96 (03:46:49):
Name Curnit, Louis Kurnitt, Kurnit. Address, Well, I don't exactly
have a place. I've been staying with the fellow then
on twelfth Street, friendly man. I met him in a cafeteria.

Speaker 50 (03:47:05):
Previous occupation.

Speaker 4 (03:47:07):
Well, I work.

Speaker 96 (03:47:08):
Did a lot of things used to be printed way back,
I could handsh you.

Speaker 50 (03:47:13):
Do you have any references?

Speaker 1 (03:47:15):
Well? Family, no, no, no, ma'am, I haven't got any family.

Speaker 96 (03:47:20):
I had a cousin in Short Lake City, but I
haven't seen him in thirty years any more. The ad
said you didn't need no reference.

Speaker 50 (03:47:28):
Well that's right now. Will you wait in the other room,
used ma'am?

Speaker 1 (03:47:33):
Do I get the job?

Speaker 4 (03:47:34):
Ma'am?

Speaker 50 (03:47:35):
Just wait in the other room.

Speaker 46 (03:47:36):
Oh.

Speaker 7 (03:47:46):
I shuffled into the other room and sat down to wait.
I concentrated on building a character for Louis Kurnitt. If
I was going to carry this through, I was going
to have to play a better performance than I'd ever
given before.

Speaker 1 (03:47:58):
About half an hour, young woman came into the room.
I planned to be.

Speaker 7 (03:48:01):
Dozing the way an old man would, and so my
eyes were close. When I heard the door close. When
I opened them, I was looking into the barrel of
a thirty eight revolver.

Speaker 50 (03:48:11):
Are you awake now, mister Weldon?

Speaker 10 (03:48:13):
Eh?

Speaker 97 (03:48:15):
I don't think you need to carry on anymore, You
need any further convincing. You are Mark Weldon. You're about
forty years old, and you played this same character on
television about six weeks ago.

Speaker 50 (03:48:26):
You played it fairly well.

Speaker 1 (03:48:29):
Thank you. Would you mind putting down that gun?

Speaker 15 (03:48:32):
Yes?

Speaker 50 (03:48:34):
Why did you apply for this position? Mister Weldon?

Speaker 1 (03:48:37):
You're not old?

Speaker 98 (03:48:38):
Not really?

Speaker 1 (03:48:39):
Well, as a matter of fact, it was a bet.

Speaker 7 (03:48:43):
I was having an argument about the method with an
actor who trained at the Old VIC.

Speaker 1 (03:48:47):
I bet him that I could, well, I could get
by off the stage.

Speaker 50 (03:48:51):
Well, no bother.

Speaker 97 (03:48:53):
You've been very busy recently trying to find out why
senile psychotics starved themselves to death.

Speaker 1 (03:48:58):
How did you know that?

Speaker 97 (03:48:59):
I know that you've been present at several police investigations
into these cases, and you're a good friend of Sergeant
lou Pate.

Speaker 1 (03:49:05):
Well, you know a great deal more about me than
I do about you.

Speaker 50 (03:49:08):
Well, I would be glad to enlighten you. My name
is May Roberts.

Speaker 97 (03:49:12):
I'm the daughter of the late doctor Anthony Roberts, the
physicist who was dismissed from the Brookhaven Atomic Energy Laboratory
five years ago.

Speaker 7 (03:49:19):
I assume you're connected with these starvation cases, or you
wouldn't have known I was investigating.

Speaker 97 (03:49:25):
Well, that's obvious, isn't it. I'm not afraid of professional detectives,
mister Weldon. They deal only with facts. I don't like amateurs.
They guessed too much. They don't stick to reality. Consequently,
they're likely to get too close.

Speaker 50 (03:49:38):
To the truth.

Speaker 7 (03:49:39):
Unfortunately, miss Roberts, I'm nowhere near the truth. I haven't
the slightest idea how you're tied end with those starvations.

Speaker 97 (03:49:45):
Well, I intend to show you, mister Weldon. I'm happy
to announce that you have the job.

Speaker 26 (03:49:51):
Now.

Speaker 50 (03:49:51):
Look, don't move, mister Weldon.

Speaker 7 (03:49:54):
Oh.

Speaker 97 (03:49:55):
Incidentally, about fifteen minutes ago, I call Sergeant Pate and
told him I was your sister, just in from Pittsburgh.
I wanted to get in touch with you very badly,
and Sergeant Paper was very sorry. He wished he could
help me, but he didn't have the slightest idea where
you were.

Speaker 50 (03:50:10):
All right, mister Weldon, right ahead of you. Please through
that door.

Speaker 7 (03:50:22):
She didn't look like the kind of girl who did
get to hold the gun on me as I went
down the hall. So that's all I did, Just go
down the hall. I climbed up to the fourth floor
to a large room. There was a maze of electrical equipment,
bolted down, tubes and wires and dials.

Speaker 1 (03:50:37):
In the middle of the room was a wire mesh cage.
She kept that gun on me, steady as a rock.
She began to set readings on the dials and flip
switches on the control panel.

Speaker 97 (03:50:49):
It'll take about five minutes for the field to build up.
Mister Weldon, please get in the cathode area.

Speaker 1 (03:50:54):
You mean that wire cage? Go ahead, all right?

Speaker 97 (03:50:59):
All right now, I wouldn't advise moving now, mister Weldon.
Why I carry some ten thousand bolts.

Speaker 50 (03:51:06):
Now, look, mister Weldon, you're curious, and you could turn
out to be a great nuisance to me.

Speaker 97 (03:51:12):
As long as you come this far, we might as
well both benefit by it. You'll find a suit of
clothes on the floor there.

Speaker 53 (03:51:18):
Put it on, after all, put it on.

Speaker 1 (03:51:25):
I didn't know whether she was bluffing about the.

Speaker 7 (03:51:27):
Electric charge, but the revolver looked real enough, so I
stripped and changed into the other clothes. The shoes were
a little too tight, and pointed him. The color of
the shirt was too stiffly starched, and too high under
my chin. The suit was too narrow with the shoulders
and at the ankles. I remember my father had a
suit like that, the same shiny blue serge.

Speaker 97 (03:51:48):
All right, in your pocket, you'll find a set of envelopes,
and you find a set of instructions.

Speaker 50 (03:51:53):
On each follow them carefully.

Speaker 3 (03:51:55):
I don't get it.

Speaker 97 (03:51:55):
You will use the envelopes in the order they're arranged about,
mister Weldon. I meant it when I said this could
be a benefit to both of us. There's no use
explaining anything. You'll find out, and don't try to escape.

Speaker 50 (03:52:08):
It can't be done.

Speaker 97 (03:52:10):
All right now, the field generators are ready. Look, Miss Roberts,
this justly follow instructions, mister Weldon.

Speaker 1 (03:52:33):
I blinked.

Speaker 7 (03:52:35):
I was standing outside a bank on a sunny day
in spring. I stared at the people passing by. They
were dressed like the characters in the nineteen thirty movie.
The women wore long dresses and flower pot hats, and
men had hard straw hats, suits with narrow shoulders. Cars
were square with flat radiators in the front. There's a
trolley car passing by, and suddenly I realized that the

(03:52:58):
last trolley car stopped running in Manhattan years ago.

Speaker 1 (03:53:00):
I tried to figure it out. Who's New York?

Speaker 9 (03:53:03):
All right?

Speaker 7 (03:53:03):
I recognize some of the buildings. First I figured it
must have been hypnosis. And then I looked at the
first of the envelopes in my pocket. I read it
and walked into the bank.

Speaker 99 (03:53:14):
Yes, sir, our mister Golden tells me that you wish
to open an account. Yes, that's right, Uh huh. We're
very happy to have a new depositor, very happy. Indeed,
of course, you realize the institution is in sound condition,
very sound. You didn't worry about all those rumors in
this bank, No, sir, solid solid, no, that that's good.

Speaker 15 (03:53:32):
All right.

Speaker 99 (03:53:32):
Now, the name Mark Weldon. You have no address in
the city at prison, No no, and you're depositing one
hundred and fifty dollars. That's right, alright, eh, I'll just
check the slip here. One hundred and fifty dollars, right,
and the date May fifteenth, of course, nineteen thirty one,
thirty one. The pressure now, mister Weldon, this is a

(03:53:56):
very good year for business. This temporary recession is bound
to abate. Sound banking policies will see us through. It's
just around the corner, you know what, Well, what is prosperity?
All right, mister Weldon, We're very happy.

Speaker 1 (03:54:09):
To have your account.

Speaker 7 (03:54:15):
I went outside the bank, and I stood there in
the spring sunlight and let the terror soak into me.
Possibility of the entire situation was gnawing at the edges
of my mind. And then suddenly I wasn't there. It
was as fast as blinking. I was outside another bank
in the same city. The date on the next envelope

(03:54:36):
was May twenty ninth, and it was still nineteen thirty one.
I made a seventy five dollars deposit there, and then
one hundred dollars of another place a few days later,
spending a few minutes each time, and going ahead anywhere
from a couple of days to almost a month. Nineteen
thirty four, I found myself inside a broker's office.

Speaker 100 (03:54:57):
Very well, mister Weldon, as I understand stand that you
are buying the stock for a doctor Anthony Roberts.

Speaker 1 (03:55:03):
That's right. I assume the stock will be in his name.
That's right, I'm just acting as agent. I follow instructions, of.

Speaker 100 (03:55:11):
Course, of course, Well are you sure I can't convince
you that you're making a big mistake?

Speaker 1 (03:55:15):
No, No, these are my instructions.

Speaker 100 (03:55:17):
Well, now, mister Weldon, we are a reputable brokerage house,
and well, frankly, I feel quite shaky about putting our
client's money into this kind of security.

Speaker 1 (03:55:25):
There's no future in it.

Speaker 100 (03:55:26):
It's a rare metal for which there is very little
use for industrial purposesn't well, However, if your client is adamant,
I have my instructions very well, then in the name
of doctor Anthony Roberts, one hundred shares of Montana uranium,
most unwise, most unwise.

Speaker 7 (03:55:51):
It went that way about fifty to fifty high deposit
money in my own name in various banks. At other
times then I'd buy a stock make a bet for
Mayor Roberts. In June twenty first, nineteen thirty two, I
begged Jack's Sharky to take the heavyweight title away from Matchmailing.
There was Singing Wood in nineteen thirty three at Belmont
Park and Max Bayer over Primo Canera. I went on

(03:56:12):
skipping through the years, touching here and there for a
few minutes to an hour at a time. It was
in early October nineteen thirty eight, about five hours after
I had left May Robert's house, before I realized what
she had me doing was making deposits and winning sure bets,
just as those senile psychotics had done. The ink on
their bank books seemed fresh because it was fresh, wasn't

(03:56:35):
given a chance to oxidize the rate I was going.
I'd be back at my own time in a few
hours with fifteen thousand dollars compound interest in cash. But
those old people had died of starvation somehow with all
that cash and banks. I didn't know how it happened
or why, But suddenly it occurred to me that I
didn't want to be found dead in my hotel room.

(03:56:55):
So rather than make the deposit in nineteen thirty eight,
I grabbed a cabin, told the driver to step on it.
Got a mile away from the bank, and then the
cab suddenly disappeared, found my himself and in front of
a counter at a lunch room.

Speaker 1 (03:57:09):
The envelope instructed me to make a bet on the
World series.

Speaker 7 (03:57:13):
There wasn't any way to get out of the range
of the machine to pick me up at least five
miles away from where I was supposed to be. Came
back a week later to get my winnings. Was hungry,
so I got myself a hamburger and went out the door.
When I hit the sidewalk, it happened again.

Speaker 50 (03:57:38):
Don't touch the cage yet, mister Weldon. I'll have to
clear the charge.

Speaker 2 (03:57:42):
Hey, what happened to my hamburger? What the hamburger?

Speaker 1 (03:57:45):
I had it here? It's gone. I'm hungry.

Speaker 97 (03:57:47):
I'll get you something to eat, mister Weldon before your
next trip. Well, you've done pretty well for yourself, haven't you.

Speaker 1 (03:57:54):
Yes, yes, I have about fifteen thousand. I had ketchup
on my sleeve.

Speaker 97 (03:58:00):
It's gone, mister Weldon. I want to talk seriously with you.
Now you've seen part of what I'm doing part. My
father was discharged from all his research and university connections
because he insisted in publishing his findings on the temporal
field research all a conventional physicist explained that it was
overwork and recommended everything from hot bullion before retiring to psychoanalysis,

(03:58:23):
though possibly both of these might have been beneficial, but
the fact of the matter is that temporal field activities
are quite.

Speaker 50 (03:58:30):
True, and you've seen proof.

Speaker 1 (03:58:32):
Well, I suppose I have.

Speaker 97 (03:58:33):
So it seemed just a question of money, although obviously
I can get all I need now.

Speaker 1 (03:58:37):
But sending people back through time to bet on sure
things like uranium.

Speaker 50 (03:58:41):
It's a fair exchange. I pay well for service, don't I.

Speaker 1 (03:58:44):
I suppose so.

Speaker 97 (03:58:45):
But that isn't the most important thing. I've been able
to save things that would have been lost otherwise. I've
sent people back to find precious treasures that would have
been destroyed it would have disappeared, like a Greco painting, Yes,
and the original score of Mozart's Magic Flute that would
have been burned in nineteen forty two, and a Picasso
miniature that would have been lost at sea in fifty two.

(03:59:05):
I have them all here, stolen, no thought, with money
from the year itself, at a fair price. Well, mister Weldon,
I sent you back because I've needed someone to work
with me on a regular basis, someone who's faster and
more alert than the old.

Speaker 50 (03:59:20):
People I've hired till now.

Speaker 1 (03:59:22):
Why old people.

Speaker 50 (03:59:23):
It's a function of the field.

Speaker 97 (03:59:24):
You can't send somebody back to a year in which
they didn't exist at all. I'm hungry, Please, mister Weldon,
this is very important. My father died trying to prove
the validity of his field theory to conventional scientists, and
I don't intend to bother.

Speaker 50 (03:59:39):
We can become the most powerful people in the world.

Speaker 1 (03:59:42):
I don't feel very powerful now. You haven't got a
sandwich hanging around.

Speaker 50 (03:59:45):
I want to make you an offer, mister Weldon.

Speaker 97 (03:59:48):
I need someone to help me expand the operation, plan,
the projects and research. I chose you because I was
afraid that you might hit on the truth by yourself.

Speaker 1 (03:59:57):
Can I come out of this case careful?

Speaker 50 (03:59:59):
Don't touch the content.

Speaker 97 (04:00:00):
The fuel reacts on a random factor for at least
an hour after it's cut off.

Speaker 1 (04:00:03):
I'll be careful.

Speaker 7 (04:00:05):
Tell me, miss Roberts, why haven't you been able to
go back to the time that your father was alive
and bring him.

Speaker 1 (04:00:11):
Back before he died dead.

Speaker 50 (04:00:13):
Tissue can't be transported.

Speaker 97 (04:00:15):
We've tried it with mice and rabbits from a laboratory
in nineteen forty one, and they just disappeared like my hamburger.
Mister Weldon, I assume that you're interested and that we
can make our plans without using this revolver.

Speaker 4 (04:00:30):
I hope.

Speaker 7 (04:00:31):
So fifteen thousand dollars there's a lot of money. Of course,
you were able to send those old people back a
lot further.

Speaker 50 (04:00:39):
Some of them as far back as eighteen eighty.

Speaker 1 (04:00:42):
How long would they be gone?

Speaker 97 (04:00:43):
I mean, in subjective time, several weeks, perhaps a month,
no more.

Speaker 1 (04:00:48):
There's only one problem, miss Roberts.

Speaker 50 (04:00:51):
I'm sure we can work out any details.

Speaker 1 (04:00:53):
Well, this one is a little hard to work out.
You see, I'm hungry.

Speaker 7 (04:00:57):
I haven't been this hungry since I got lost on
a hunting trip and went with food for three days.
You say, you forget I've got an interest in this business.
Because they found some old people dead of malnutrition and
thirty thousand dollars or so tucked away in their pockets.

Speaker 1 (04:01:10):
They had been gone a month or more, and they
had to eat during that time, didn't they. When they
came back, the food disappeared like my hamburger. It disappeared
all at once, all over their body in one fast joke.
They starved to death.

Speaker 97 (04:01:20):
Oh no, you don't understand. They just couldn't take the
field transition. They were too old, some of them, and
they lied to me about their age to get the job.

Speaker 7 (04:01:28):
Oh no, you can't tell me that, because I know
how hungry I am, and I was only gone about
twelve hours.

Speaker 1 (04:01:32):
They were murdered.

Speaker 50 (04:01:33):
Get back.

Speaker 1 (04:01:34):
You know they say hungry man gets mighty desperate. He'll
do almost anything but.

Speaker 3 (04:01:41):
My arm.

Speaker 1 (04:01:42):
Look out the cage the contact.

Speaker 7 (04:01:57):
She fell into that cage and disappeared before she hit
the ground. I didn't know what happened. I know she
said the field worked in a random factor. Whatever that meant.
I called Lou Payton. He came to the house just
after the fire started. Something went in the control panel
and it turned out to be a four alarm fire.
Before they got it under control, there was nothing.

Speaker 1 (04:02:16):
Left to the machine.

Speaker 7 (04:02:17):
There wasn't much left of the Bronstone house. Lou didn't
believe the story. I told him, you mean there won't.

Speaker 15 (04:02:23):
Be any more up, No more senile psychotics starving to
death with a bank roll in their head pocket.

Speaker 1 (04:02:29):
No, I told you, Louke, come on the mark.

Speaker 15 (04:02:32):
We'll get plenty more. We always have.

Speaker 1 (04:02:34):
No, I'll bet you won't. I'll bet your dollar there
won't be another case like that.

Speaker 15 (04:02:39):
I'll take that bet.

Speaker 7 (04:02:48):
I lost the bet. There was one more case, and
perhaps it was the strangest one. A woman was found
wandering in Bryant Park just before she died of acute starvation.
One strange thing was she was young, not more than thirty,
and the other was she had seventeen thousand dollars stucked
in her pocket book and a bullet wound in her arm.

(04:03:09):
The medical examiner said was at least two months old.
I guess that's what she meant by the random factor

(04:03:32):

Speaker 98 (04:10:54):
The jury finds the dependence has charged not guilty.

Speaker 103 (04:10:58):
Oh, before I discharge this case, let me add a
few words. The crime of drugs is a despicable blight
on this great country. It's a shame that law enforcement
has become so difficult in our permissive society.

Speaker 102 (04:11:18):
An honest mistake was made here that the officers involved
did so without malice of forethought. Twelve of their peers
have exonerated them from blame. I would charge the public
to remember this clear verdict of not guilty.

Speaker 50 (04:11:36):
Court dismissed.

Speaker 19 (04:11:40):
Oh but how could they I feel so so violated.
It is if they tore me apart instead of our homes.

Speaker 98 (04:11:50):
Don't you worry, Lena, They'll be made to pay. I'll
give you my word.

Speaker 19 (04:12:25):
But look at that headline.

Speaker 98 (04:12:28):
Oh yeah, let me give one a narcotics cup killed
an explosion.

Speaker 19 (04:12:38):
What's his name?

Speaker 98 (04:12:39):
Let's see Daniels, Robert Daniels, Daniels.

Speaker 19 (04:12:45):
Honey, he was one of those who raided.

Speaker 20 (04:12:47):
Our house that night.

Speaker 16 (04:12:48):
Eh.

Speaker 98 (04:12:49):
Paper says he was just leaving his home and started
the car and then bye bye, narco A nice touch,
his wife waving by, Oh, miss carpying, I'll get him first.

Speaker 19 (04:13:06):
But I don't think you should be so happy about
another man's death.

Speaker 98 (04:13:18):
Do you want me to feel sad?

Speaker 19 (04:13:21):
You know, every since the trial, you've been out there
to live with Why would someone deliberately kill Daniels?

Speaker 9 (04:13:29):
Yeah?

Speaker 98 (04:13:29):
Well maybe he rated someone else's home and they had
the guts to do him in.

Speaker 46 (04:13:32):
Huh, But.

Speaker 19 (04:13:36):
Honey, you didn't kill him, did you?

Speaker 98 (04:13:40):
What kind of a question is that to ask your
own husband?

Speaker 20 (04:13:44):
I'm sorry?

Speaker 19 (04:13:49):
What did the lawyers say about the complaints you file?

Speaker 35 (04:13:53):
Just as the narcotics chief was civil and so the
department was looking into it?

Speaker 19 (04:14:00):
Hey, hey, we're here, you almost passed the house. Does
that sound like they're trying to cover it up?

Speaker 16 (04:14:09):
Damn right?

Speaker 36 (04:14:11):
Feel powerless to do anything, mister Longs, Yeah, Detective King, homicide.

Speaker 9 (04:14:17):
Could we talk a moment?

Speaker 7 (04:14:18):
What is this more harassment?

Speaker 4 (04:14:20):
I was saying, it's like to ask a few questions?

Speaker 98 (04:14:22):
Sure, fine, if.

Speaker 19 (04:14:22):
You've got a warm please come in, mister King, I'll
get some coffee.

Speaker 9 (04:14:28):
Don't bother man, No bother.

Speaker 98 (04:14:31):
You said, homicide?

Speaker 46 (04:14:32):
Yes?

Speaker 36 (04:14:34):
Could I ask you where you were last night? About
ten o'clock out where out poker game?

Speaker 15 (04:14:41):
Can you prove you run a game?

Speaker 46 (04:14:44):
Yes?

Speaker 4 (04:14:45):
And no I can.

Speaker 98 (04:14:46):
But it so happens that I left around nine thirty,
got home about ten thirty.

Speaker 36 (04:14:51):
Does the drive take an hour?

Speaker 16 (04:14:52):
Oh damn it.

Speaker 98 (04:14:53):
I went by a market on the way.

Speaker 16 (04:14:55):
I seem mark at the only place you stopped.

Speaker 4 (04:14:58):
Yes, one all the questions.

Speaker 36 (04:15:01):
I'll be truthful, mister Long, because I know you're upset.

Speaker 98 (04:15:04):
We're aware you finally complaint with the.

Speaker 36 (04:15:06):
Narcotics Bureau against the people who rated you.

Speaker 13 (04:15:08):
Since one of these same men was killed earlier this morning,
it's natural we should check.

Speaker 98 (04:15:12):
Look, you got my alibi, and I just arrest me
or get the hell out of my house.

Speaker 36 (04:15:17):
All right, I'll leave if you'll just give me the
name and address of where you played poker. Charlie Bostner
twelve forty seven Hope, Okay, thank you, No, don't bother.

Speaker 9 (04:15:27):
This is long.

Speaker 36 (04:15:28):
I'll find my way.

Speaker 19 (04:15:32):
But you didn't get home till after eleven? Why did
you lie?

Speaker 98 (04:15:38):
Because they just love to pin the murder on me,
and I'm not going to get many ammunition.

Speaker 19 (04:15:48):
Lom you meat, great dinners.

Speaker 25 (04:15:51):
I must agree with our daughter super suffering acknowledged and
duly except this, you hop.

Yeah, yes, remember me?

Speaker 4 (04:16:10):
Long the hell do you want now?

Speaker 98 (04:16:14):
A little talk about why you killed one of my men?
I already talked to the cops. Mind if I come
and said, you're damn right?

Speaker 9 (04:16:21):
I do?

Speaker 98 (04:16:23):
Where's wife in the kitchen? Nice place?

Speaker 36 (04:16:27):
See?

Speaker 98 (04:16:28):
You got to fix back up. Look, I know you
killed Daniels. All I got to do is prove it.
I didn't kill anybody. Hey, keep your hands off my desk.

Speaker 16 (04:16:35):
You don't know what you're as cross.

Speaker 98 (04:16:37):
They creep a departmental reprimand everybody claiming they I got
onto my horse. You complaining. I'm trying to shit but
to hear me. So I figured you are taking a
sweet little revenge, right.

Speaker 4 (04:16:51):
Think what you like? You know?

Speaker 98 (04:16:53):
With you here, I could kill you right now. The
little boy has a god get out.

Speaker 4 (04:16:57):
I'm leaving.

Speaker 16 (04:17:00):
I consider yourself warned.

Speaker 10 (04:17:01):
Along God, who is it?

Speaker 16 (04:17:06):
I understand you've had it, mister, who is it?

Speaker 24 (04:17:12):
Bo?

Speaker 98 (04:17:14):
Honey, I'm going out for a while.

Speaker 19 (04:17:16):
You look scared to death. What's wrong is it the police.

Speaker 98 (04:17:21):
Yes, don't wait up, I may be a long time.

Speaker 104 (04:17:34):
Yes, ma'am, I know, ma'n. Yeah, you you're the lady
that called last night. Okay, ma'am.

Speaker 46 (04:17:44):
If you say you.

Speaker 104 (04:17:45):
Got another peeping tom, we'll send somebody to check.

Speaker 36 (04:17:51):
Hey, King, you're working late, said so. Cops life is
a cops life is well.

Speaker 104 (04:17:57):
You know Jesus, that's all I need. Priority one, Sergeant
Creamer to him, right, yeah, yeah, right right away, King,
this one's yours. Since somebody gets burned another narc who
got it? Jackson Thomas c stepped out on his back
porch with a load of garbage and they zapped him.

Speaker 36 (04:18:18):
Fine, Clay Sattler tell him to meet me at the scene.
I got a quick stop first, Hey, King, I see
you beat me.

Speaker 9 (04:18:37):
What's going on?

Speaker 36 (04:18:38):
Jackson's dead instant one shot neat in the forehead.

Speaker 16 (04:18:44):
And the thoughts one long.

Speaker 36 (04:18:47):
Could be look at this one of the officers turned
it up.

Speaker 35 (04:18:53):
Checkbook, but Long eighteen eighteen seated and it's pretty conclusive.

Speaker 36 (04:18:59):
Yeah, yeah, pretty stupid too.

Speaker 16 (04:19:02):
I'll pick him up.

Speaker 24 (04:19:03):
Okay, I'll go with you.

Speaker 16 (04:19:04):
No, Jackson wasn't one of mine. I'll bring the ess
B and myself.

Speaker 36 (04:19:08):
Okay, your deal, but bring him in.

Speaker 3 (04:19:10):
Don't mangle him.

Speaker 16 (04:19:13):
That's an awful thoughteing.

Speaker 98 (04:19:18):
That's a gun against your next center. Don't turn around.

Speaker 4 (04:19:20):
You know who it is. Just drive.

Speaker 37 (04:19:26):
I see here it comes to me, Long, say some trump.

Speaker 46 (04:19:29):
Shut up.

Speaker 4 (04:19:30):
It's my turn.

Speaker 46 (04:19:30):
Now drive.

Speaker 16 (04:19:34):
We we are not going far. You know you'll want
it from eurder one.

Speaker 35 (04:19:38):
Yeah, I figured as much when I heard on the
radio that Jackson would be cute. Repot didn't mention clues,
but I knew.

Speaker 16 (04:19:43):
You had it figured.

Speaker 4 (04:19:45):
What do you mean I had it figured?

Speaker 98 (04:19:47):
Never mind? Just pour over into those trees. Okay, come on,
come on, come on, come on, o freeze Long. I'll
take the gun. You're making it easier than I thought.

Speaker 9 (04:20:07):
What did you do that for? Simple?

Speaker 98 (04:20:10):
One shot from your gun makes it look like self defense?
Had that that a check book they found on the scene,
and it makes a neatly wrap case?

Speaker 7 (04:20:18):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (04:20:18):
Maybe maybe not.

Speaker 35 (04:20:20):
See I knew you took the check book when you
were fooling around my desk, so you're smart. Won't do
you any good?

Speaker 98 (04:20:28):
You really did it, didn't you?

Speaker 35 (04:20:30):
You killed Jackson and Daniel, setting it up so that
it would look like I was getting revenge.

Speaker 98 (04:20:34):
That's right, bumble boy. They had to go and spill
their Gutstad.

Speaker 101 (04:20:38):
Are chief and you're your lawsy wife had a humiliate
me in courtet you won't damn it.

Speaker 16 (04:20:42):
I'm sick and tireder you freaks get away with.

Speaker 98 (04:20:44):
His drug crap, poisoning our kids, dragging down this country.

Speaker 16 (04:20:48):
Sadler, you're wrong.

Speaker 98 (04:20:49):
Why don't you admit it? We weren't on drugs.

Speaker 46 (04:20:51):
Now you're lying?

Speaker 98 (04:20:52):
Why your kind stick up for one another?

Speaker 4 (04:20:55):
Dude?

Speaker 98 (04:20:55):
You really believe yourself, don't you right? And when I
chid you that makes one less hot. And Jackson and
Daniels kids, they didn't even think what we were doing
was important. They always wanted to let the kids on
tomorrow want to go. Said it didn't do anything to them,
But I know it, Dosh, you think you're ripe and.

Speaker 26 (04:21:12):
Then you can go and deliberately blow up Robert Daniels.

Speaker 98 (04:21:14):
Right, and anyone else gets in the way.

Speaker 16 (04:21:16):
Am I doing the job? Say goodbye long All.

Speaker 51 (04:21:20):
Let's trigger sator and you're a dead man King.

Speaker 36 (04:21:24):
Thank mister Long he put it all together. Although we
had our suspicions.

Speaker 98 (04:21:29):
Oh sure, it took your time getting here, mister King.

Speaker 36 (04:21:31):
We couldn't locate your car, almost missed you anyway, if
it hadn't been for that shot that was fired.

Speaker 98 (04:21:36):
Sam still play for he killed me.

Speaker 101 (04:21:37):
King, You're like all our rest, not big King Loon, mcarthy.

Speaker 4 (04:21:49):
Jesus, mister King. The man was crazy. Sometimes we all
get that way.

Speaker 36 (04:21:55):
Mister Long, I'm not serving.

Speaker 4 (04:23:04):
Strange Adventure.

Speaker 105 (04:23:08):
Ben Poster trudged along the trail that led through the
forest covered Idaho mountains All day. He had fought through
a gale of wind and snow that quipped at his body.
Now darkness had settled, and he knew he must reach
shelter before he lost his way. He came to a
small clearing and saw a cabin ahead with the light
beaming through a window. The young prospector hastened forward and
knocked at the door. The door was opened by an old,

(04:23:29):
white bearded man.

Speaker 37 (04:23:31):
He too shipped, mate, cat come in out of the blue.

Speaker 105 (04:23:35):
Foster entered the clean and well kept cabin and warmed
himself before the fireplace. The old man poured him a
cup of coffee. Wo'll be ship mate, will be burn.
I'm Ben frosted. They told me in town I could
get a job at the Lucky Lady Mine Hell perhaps
Soltion they need men. I'm blue water. Andy needed the
seven sheet. Now snug down the shore, frishpare and I.

Speaker 9 (04:23:57):
Go get your ship hurt curb.

Speaker 105 (04:23:59):
While enjoying a welcome meal, Ben looked up at the
shelf above Andy's bunk, to the model of an ancient
Spanish galleyon complete in every detail.

Speaker 7 (04:24:07):
Say what's that?

Speaker 74 (04:24:09):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (04:24:10):
That she modred of de Chante jebel Leshan.

Speaker 105 (04:24:13):
She was loaded with Spanish gold, went down with all
hands sometimes sixteenth century?

Speaker 2 (04:24:18):
Who made it?

Speaker 46 (04:24:19):
I did?

Speaker 105 (04:24:21):
Sometime the cold of the blue water comes to me
in the night and I can't sleep. Show I get
up and work on Sandy's bed at Mardyl's perfect I
show the old ship beded in the shane when I
was driving years ago, and I've copied her exactly from memory.
The next day, all blue water, Andy fell ill and

(04:24:41):
was not able to get out of bed. Ben prepared
his food and kept the fire going. The storm was
still raging. The old man talked in his delirium of
things he had done and seen while he had followed
the Seven Seas. He grew weaker, and Ben knew his
friend was dying. The old seaman must have sensed the two,
for he called Ben to his bedside and plush in
the bar ship meet the shempthing I want you to

(04:25:03):
do for an old shee dock. Show me a schnug
and tight and a bit of CAMBI shul feign in
a chunk over there, bear me on the bluff overlooking
the river. The young man nodded. Andy continued his voice
hardly above a whisper. Publish me freeful, and I'll leave
you the sand Isabella and your cargo of gold. When

(04:25:24):
you've unloaded her, bury her with me on the bluff.
Hardly had Ben boyced his promise. When the old sailor
fell back, at last, reaching his welcome heaven, the Fiddler's Green,
Ben walked over to the model resting on the shelf.
A moment later, he gasped in astonishment as he lifted
the model from its place. The entire superstructure of the

(04:25:45):
ship model came away in Ben's hands. The hull was
filled with gold, gold dust that blue Water Andy had
probably mined from his placid claim. Later, as Ben Foster
read the words of the burial at sea over the
grave of the old Wanderer, he thought of the strain
legacy that had made this fortune his. Perhaps now Bluewater
Andy was guiding the phantom of the Santa Isabella across

(04:26:08):
the misty Sea. This is Pat McGee in Hollywood, California,
saying goodbye from my writer Charles Crowder, and inviting you
to listen again to another tale of strange.

Speaker 21 (04:26:21):
Adventure, appointment with fear.

Speaker 106 (04:26:57):
We present Ursula Howe's, Christopher Cassen and Terence Longdon in
My Fate Cries Out by Michael Robson.

Speaker 80 (04:27:12):
I don't know whether I can see you on Thursday.

Speaker 107 (04:27:15):
There are problems, don't be absurd. You know perfectly well
you can make it if you try.

Speaker 80 (04:27:19):
And you know perfectly well that Stephen and I are
supposed to be dining with the gnoss.

Speaker 4 (04:27:23):
But you dine at the Nocetes a fortnight ago.

Speaker 80 (04:27:25):
And the fortnight before that, and the fortnight before that, and.

Speaker 23 (04:27:29):
In the intervening weeks the Nositters dined here.

Speaker 80 (04:27:31):
Hospitality must be returned.

Speaker 4 (04:27:36):
What a wonderful life you will lead here? Does Stephen
never cut loose?

Speaker 80 (04:27:42):
It's so because Stephen is a creature of habit, reliable, trustworthy,
unadventurous and excessively hard working that he's able to maintain
this house me himself, an elderly mother in Dorking and
a dissolute brother on sar to say nothing of annual
subscriptions to a number of closely rics searched and well
deserving charities. Stephen is a good man, and you, Harry,

(04:28:07):
are what would have been described in earlier honester to
days as a cab.

Speaker 107 (04:28:11):
Come on, simone, surely you can do better than that,
something more raffish than cab scoundrel, perhaps outside of remittance
man pounder, heartless ruff, but at.

Speaker 80 (04:28:21):
Least you have no pretensions to virtue, none whatsoever, which
is why you find me attractive and.

Speaker 1 (04:28:27):
Stephen the most boring thing since the invention of the brace.

Speaker 80 (04:28:30):
Britt, I'll see you Friday, not Thursday. And hadn't you
better be going?

Speaker 9 (04:28:35):
Well?

Speaker 1 (04:28:35):
Yes, it's almost seven, and you know how you.

Speaker 80 (04:28:37):
Hate having to dine with Steve.

Speaker 23 (04:28:39):
You spend your whole time sending me up on a while.

Speaker 4 (04:28:41):
Bottle with you.

Speaker 80 (04:28:41):
Because though I may be the older woman in your life, Darling,
I have a rich and indulgent husband. And because I
won't go to bed with you, a combination you evidently
find irresistible.

Speaker 107 (04:28:52):
I enjoy the money you spend on me suddenly, and
I enjoy your company because I haven't got to keep
remembering which lies I've already told you. But I must
warn you if you keep on funking the erotic issue
much longer, I shall behave extremely badly go off to
Dover and become a gi glue to a feeling contestor.

Speaker 80 (04:29:08):
Too late, he's picture to the post, Open the window,
go on quickly, then open the door slightly.

Speaker 4 (04:29:14):
Well, why this sudden passion for fresh air?

Speaker 80 (04:29:18):
Because I want you to appreciate to the full this
appalling predictability of Stephen's coming up the drive, pauses, takes
a lungfull of pure barn there, looks first east to
the lawn and the azaleas, then west to the flower beds,

(04:29:41):
and the conservatory resumes his patient trudge to the front door,
opens it, enters, closes the door, removes his hat and
overcoat and hangs among that dreadful hall stand that marks
his one concession to bourgeois taste. Peels off his gloves,

(04:30:04):
puts them on the table, wraps the barometer, and muses
gratefully on the vagaries of West London. Weather looks at
himself in the mirror, pats his hair at the sides,
then slowly, deliberately, so slowly and deliberately that I could scream.
He plods up the fifteen steps of the staircase to

(04:30:27):
the landing and crosses to this room. And when he
comes in, he smiles vaguely and says.

Speaker 3 (04:30:36):
Evening, darling, what kind of day have you had? There's
a letter from Harry quennll you for both of us.

Speaker 80 (04:30:45):
Odd Where has Harry ever bothered to put pen to
paper on any one's account.

Speaker 23 (04:30:49):
Let alone he well.

Speaker 3 (04:30:51):
He has this time wants is to spend New Year
with him and his sister.

Speaker 80 (04:30:54):
You here with Harry and Vivian where, for Heaven's.

Speaker 3 (04:30:58):
Sake class called Otler's on the Northumbrian coast.

Speaker 80 (04:31:01):
Artless, Yes, of course Harry is mentioned it occasionally.

Speaker 3 (04:31:05):
It was his parents' place, and will his parents be
there to indulge in the grim festivities?

Speaker 80 (04:31:10):
Highly improbable. They were murdered in the hotel in Jerusalem
at the height of the Haganaw hostilities. I suspect from
what Harry says about them, that they were the chief
reason for the hagen Our hostilities.

Speaker 3 (04:31:19):
Who brought up Harry and his sister. They must have
been extremely young when this unpleasantness occurred.

Speaker 80 (04:31:25):
Vivian was a baby in arms and Harry six years old,
and they were brought up by a maiden aunt, first
in Bampshire and then I believe it oddlys.

Speaker 3 (04:31:33):
I imagine the maiden aunt spoiled Harry utterly and was
quite ruthless with the girl.

Speaker 23 (04:31:38):
I don't know. I wouldn't go less. What do you
want to do about the invitation refu?

Speaker 18 (04:31:43):
Is it?

Speaker 3 (04:31:43):
Of course?

Speaker 80 (04:31:43):
Why they inherited a remarkably good seller from their parents.
I'm tild The Vivian's cooking is about approach. Every room
centrally heated, and the library is the envy of several
American universities.

Speaker 3 (04:31:55):
I don't know how they are fought to maintain it all,
I really don't. In any event, half promised the Narsitters
we'd see the oldier out with them, Darling.

Speaker 80 (04:32:04):
If we spend any more time with the Nstors, we
may as well take up permanent residence there, along with
the borzoil and that damn Canary.

Speaker 3 (04:32:11):
What's the weather going to be like at that time
of year?

Speaker 23 (04:32:14):
Different from what it is here?

Speaker 3 (04:32:15):
I imagine, come on the way things are going at present,
there'll be blizzards in the Thumbria by Christmas. And I
can't say I relish the idea of motoring in thick snow.

Speaker 32 (04:32:25):
It's because it's.

Speaker 80 (04:32:26):
A change, isn't it something different? The moment your routine's upset,
you start manufacturing objections.

Speaker 3 (04:32:31):
I don't greatly care for Harry, that's all. Why should
I celebrate the new year with someone I neither like
nor respect.

Speaker 23 (04:32:38):
It doesn't work for a living?

Speaker 19 (04:32:39):
Is that what irritates you?

Speaker 3 (04:32:41):
Yes to a large extent, and he produces charm and
some people produce umbrellas.

Speaker 80 (04:32:49):
That's very cool, carry it to a tea. I find
him amusing, Michelle he has, but amusing, much more so
than the passionately sober nosters. And anyway, I believe Vivian's
extremely attractive. Do you good to have a little winter flirtation?

Speaker 46 (04:33:06):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (04:33:06):
Lord, I can see.

Speaker 3 (04:33:08):
I shall have no peace till I agree.

Speaker 80 (04:33:30):
Another whiskey, Stephen, Do you know, Vivian?

Speaker 3 (04:33:32):
I think I shall third.

Speaker 80 (04:33:33):
You're third this evening, and I may.

Speaker 3 (04:33:36):
Well have a force if the present weather holes and
Vivian continues to play the hostess.

Speaker 80 (04:33:43):
What about your glass is looking lone? No, thank you
very much, but no, I've read I already have the
beginnings of a migraine.

Speaker 23 (04:33:51):
A migraine, Darling.

Speaker 80 (04:33:53):
Oh perhaps it's the Northumbrian winds upsetting my metabolism.

Speaker 3 (04:33:56):
Too much Brandy after lunch.

Speaker 23 (04:33:58):
That could be it.

Speaker 80 (04:33:59):
You know you and Harry are spoiling us disgracefully, Vivian.

Speaker 62 (04:34:02):
Isn't that what country weekends are all about.

Speaker 3 (04:34:04):
I shall have to return to a very strict diet
when we get back to barn.

Speaker 80 (04:34:08):
It don't be so boring, not on New Year's Eve?

Speaker 3 (04:34:11):
Where's Harry?

Speaker 62 (04:34:12):
Incidentally, he had far too much game pine burgundy at lunch.
He's in his room complaining of indigestion. Poor old Harry
serves him right self.

Speaker 80 (04:34:20):
Indulgence will out?

Speaker 3 (04:34:22):
Are you going to be able to cope with dinner
tonight with this friends of yours?

Speaker 62 (04:34:25):
But Robert Margo, they wouldn't be put out of Harry
failed to show.

Speaker 80 (04:34:29):
Honestly, It'll be an ad hoc buffet, I promise you.

Speaker 62 (04:34:32):
Oh, the foot will be marvelous, and there'll be plenty
to drink, but one or two more or less won't matter,
not in the least.

Speaker 23 (04:34:37):
What then, would you mind?

Speaker 80 (04:34:39):
Would you mind very much if I cried off too?

Speaker 3 (04:34:42):
Oh darling?

Speaker 80 (04:34:43):
Well, you know what these migrains are like. It can
only hit worse before it gets better, and i'd read
it rather not be the suffering martyr when all the
rest of you are enjoying yourself.

Speaker 62 (04:34:52):
Oh dear, Then if you and Harry are both feeling rotten,
it looks as though Stephen and I will have to
go after the party.

Speaker 19 (04:34:57):
On our own.

Speaker 80 (04:34:58):
But isn't going to be very boring for you by
yourself soon? And it'd be very boring for you if
if you were to stay behind now, the only remedy
I know for a migren is rest in a darkened room.
You mustn't want it, please you two, go off and
enjoy yourself.

Speaker 3 (04:35:12):
No, you really are beginning to sound like a martyr.

Speaker 80 (04:35:15):
But don't start overdoing it at the party, darling, Now,
nothing too hectic.

Speaker 3 (04:35:19):
I've been moderate the entire year. I think I'm entitled
to one gordy night. Don't you hectic?

Speaker 23 (04:35:24):
Moderate?

Speaker 80 (04:35:25):
Is there something I should know about?

Speaker 3 (04:35:29):
Let's not bore Paul Vivian with medical details. She can
have no possible interest in shoe we.

Speaker 80 (04:35:34):
There's nothing to be ashamed of, is there? The fact
is Vivian that Stephen had a heart attack eighteen months ago. Oh,
he'd had his worried for a while, of course, But
he's made a remarkable progress, haven't you, darling. As so
long as he takes plenty of steady exercise and doesn't
try behaving like a twenty year old, he's sound as
a bell.

Speaker 62 (04:35:52):
You're sure you want to come, Stephen? When't matter in
the least if you'd rather stay.

Speaker 3 (04:35:55):
Here, If you're prepared to take me without the other two,
then I'm prepared to go along. I'd like to meet
these friends of yours. The only thing is what about
the snow.

Speaker 62 (04:36:05):
I do live here most of the time, you know,
We're used to this bleak border weather. Besides, if it
got very bad, Robin Margot would certainly put us up
for the night.

Speaker 80 (04:36:14):
You're sure, I'm sure you see what I mean? If ever,
there was a perfect fast part it's poor old Stephen.
Did you enjoy the evening?

Speaker 3 (04:36:28):
I did far more than I expected to tell them
to us.

Speaker 62 (04:36:32):
Robin Margot always throw quite interesting parties. It seem to
be getting on rather well with that little actress who Angie.

Speaker 3 (04:36:41):
Yes, right, little handful. But I begrade the time spend
away from you.

Speaker 62 (04:36:48):
Oh that's very sweet of you. I mean it, so
do I You're a very sweet person, Stephen. I'm not
too happy about all.

Speaker 23 (04:36:57):
The snow.

Speaker 3 (04:36:59):
Dazzles, doesn't it my headlights? When you're driving at night? Lord,
that sounds a bit sick.

Speaker 62 (04:37:08):
Keep your fingers crossed and nothing goes wrong. Now of
all times, with this blizzard coming up. Damn, what is
the matter with this thing?

Speaker 3 (04:37:20):
Have you checked the fuel gauge?

Speaker 80 (04:37:21):
You're being amusing, of course, and go for the obvious.

Speaker 62 (04:37:24):
First, my god, you're right.

Speaker 4 (04:37:27):
Have a look.

Speaker 3 (04:37:29):
Does the car have a reserve tank?

Speaker 19 (04:37:31):
This car got to be joking.

Speaker 3 (04:37:34):
You keep a spare can of petrol in the boat.

Speaker 62 (04:37:36):
Planning for an emergency is not one of Harry's vices.

Speaker 80 (04:37:39):
Oh god, I'm sorry, Stephen.

Speaker 62 (04:37:41):
I really haven't made rather a miss of things, haven't you?

Speaker 3 (04:37:43):
Not to worry? It's easily done. Question is what happens now?
How far would it be to Robin Margo's place?

Speaker 80 (04:37:52):
Eight nine miles I suppose, and good five miles at least.

Speaker 3 (04:37:56):
I'd say it's blowing half a gale out there. There'll
be a telephone kiosk anywhere near.

Speaker 62 (04:38:02):
I'm afraid there isn't odd place has got to be
our best bet.

Speaker 3 (04:38:06):
Trouble is, yes, this boring heart condition of mind.

Speaker 62 (04:38:11):
Oh my god, I've forgotten about that.

Speaker 3 (04:38:13):
I can take any amount of walking, straight walking, you understand,
with a five miles slog through snow drifts isn't perhaps
quite what the doctor ordered.

Speaker 62 (04:38:21):
Oh Steven.

Speaker 3 (04:38:23):
On the other hand, no other cars likely to be
coming our way. Now must be almost three o'clock. You'll
stay in the car till dawn or after, and we'll
freeze to death.

Speaker 62 (04:38:33):
Do you think you're up to walking five miles through
that mess outside?

Speaker 3 (04:38:36):
I didn't see there's any alternative movement will keep us alive.
I just have to take it very steadily, it's all.

Speaker 4 (04:38:56):
How far do you reckon?

Speaker 3 (04:38:58):
We've gone now, well with luck, about a mile.

Speaker 62 (04:39:04):
How are you feeling?

Speaker 3 (04:39:05):
I don't want to be alarmist, but not too good?
You're drogging.

Speaker 62 (04:39:14):
Oh look, Stephen, honestly think your.

Speaker 80 (04:39:17):
Best letter is to go back to the car. Honestly,
I do.

Speaker 62 (04:39:22):
You take the torch and go back to the car.
You sit in the back seat and just we'll keep
moving about. Don't fall asleep. I'll be back at ut
Lea's within an hour or so. All rise, Harry, we'll
use the range rover and we'll be back to pick
you up.

Speaker 93 (04:39:37):
In no time.

Speaker 60 (04:39:57):
Doctor Patista.

Speaker 107 (04:39:58):
Here he is, Stephen, Stephen, I'm all right. Oh my god,
dear god, if only Vivian hadn't lost her way frozen stiff.

Speaker 3 (04:40:09):
What's the matter with you?

Speaker 108 (04:40:10):
If it's any consolation, he must have died peacefully, died.

Speaker 3 (04:40:14):
What do you mean died?

Speaker 108 (04:40:15):
You will say he had a heart condition.

Speaker 1 (04:40:17):
I afraid that I made it.

Speaker 108 (04:40:19):
I'm all right, difficult to say which you got to
him first, the cold or a heart attack.

Speaker 3 (04:40:24):
What the hell are you talking about?

Speaker 1 (04:40:25):
Where you have felt any pain?

Speaker 4 (04:40:26):
Doctor?

Speaker 9 (04:40:26):
Of course I.

Speaker 3 (04:40:27):
Felt pain, new idiot, Hell is pain only.

Speaker 26 (04:40:30):
For a moment.

Speaker 4 (04:40:31):
Froze to death?

Speaker 10 (04:40:32):
Classic situation.

Speaker 3 (04:40:33):
Why don't you listen to me.

Speaker 60 (04:40:35):
I'm all right, Oh am.

Speaker 4 (04:40:36):
I going to break this to sim moment.

Speaker 108 (04:40:38):
She must be aware by now that the odds on
his surviving would be pretty slim. Seems a level headed woman.

Speaker 3 (04:40:43):
All right, all right, the joke's gone far enough. I'll
give me your hand up, William.

Speaker 108 (04:40:48):
Why the hell didn't I see there was enough petrol
in the car? Irony is he was so close to home,
only three quarters of a mile. I suppose the weather
was so bad that even Vivian didn't realize how close.

Speaker 4 (04:40:57):
To home she was.

Speaker 2 (04:40:58):
I made it, you false.

Speaker 80 (04:41:00):
I came through.

Speaker 108 (04:41:01):
You can count yourself lucky. She survived. She could quite
easily have ended up like him.

Speaker 3 (04:41:05):
I never felt better in my life. No, you please
listen to me.

Speaker 108 (04:41:09):
Trouble is, in this part of the world, we pay
no attention to the severity of the weather until it's
too late.

Speaker 15 (04:41:14):
It's freezing.

Speaker 10 (04:41:15):
It's absolutely freezing.

Speaker 3 (04:41:17):
I survived to idiots, can't you see?

Speaker 21 (04:41:20):
Come on, let's take him to the car.

Speaker 22 (04:41:23):
Right, I could walk.

Speaker 27 (04:41:25):
I want to walk, for God's sake, let me walk?

Speaker 15 (04:41:51):
Who is it?

Speaker 23 (04:41:53):
Come in?

Speaker 4 (04:41:56):
Well? Went over like a dream.

Speaker 107 (04:41:59):
Chief thing is that the doctor's accepted Vivian's story of
getting lost in the blizzard and not making it back yet.

Speaker 10 (04:42:03):
L after seven?

Speaker 107 (04:42:05):
Where's Stephen that in one of the guest bedrooms you'd
better put in an appearance, if only for Palaster's sake?

Speaker 80 (04:42:11):
Do you think he guessed anything at the end, Stephen.

Speaker 15 (04:42:15):
I mean, of course not.

Speaker 107 (04:42:16):
Vivian played the whole thing superbly.

Speaker 23 (04:42:18):
I hope he felt no pain, terror.

Speaker 1 (04:42:22):
I swear to go.

Speaker 107 (04:42:23):
I should have thought with his heart he could have
dropped any time, couldn't he.

Speaker 26 (04:42:27):
What am I to do?

Speaker 3 (04:42:29):
In God's name? What am I to do? How do
I accept that I died out there of a heart
attack in that blizzard? How can I accept it when
I can still think, still feel? Still no absolute and
universal terror? But this thing that's happened to me, lie

(04:42:54):
on this alien bed, unable to move a limb, to
twitch muscle, is an eyelid to our to one syllable
to draw one breath clinically dead, So what part of
me has become immortal?

Speaker 26 (04:43:12):
Immortal?

Speaker 3 (04:43:14):
When I know the terror of being absolutely alone in
a mortal world. They go about their business. My wife
goes about her business and is at law by all
medical concurrence a widow. I hear their voices distantly down

(04:43:35):
the corridor below me in the library, commiserating over my misfortune,
arranging my final ceremony, organizing my post mortem affairs.

Speaker 4 (04:43:50):
I hear, I.

Speaker 3 (04:43:52):
Respond, I intellectually apprehend much of what goes on in
this damnable mansion. But none can hear me. None apprehends
my dreadful predicament. For now that I am bad, what
will they do with mine mortal remains?

Speaker 108 (04:44:15):
I showed the coroner a copy of your husband's medical history,
Missus Whittaker, that, in combination with my examination of your
husband after we'd brought him here, has been enough for
the coroner not to request a post mortem examination. He's
satisfied that mister Whittaker died by misadventure. Forgive me, but
will your husband be buried in London? I asked, because

(04:44:36):
the intense cold here is going to prevent the digging
of a satisfactory grave.

Speaker 80 (04:44:40):
It was always my husband's wish that he should be cremated.
I understand this could be carried out here.

Speaker 108 (04:44:46):
Yes, of course, I'm sure that mister Quennell here can
easily arrange that for you.

Speaker 4 (04:44:50):
Of course.

Speaker 108 (04:44:51):
Well then if there's nothing.

Speaker 23 (04:44:53):
Else I can do, thank you.

Speaker 80 (04:44:54):
No, you've been very kind throughout this this awful time.
Dr Palistine'm most grateful to him at all.

Speaker 108 (04:45:00):
At least I can do. How's your sister Gwennell.

Speaker 51 (04:45:04):
She's still very shocked, of course, but she's on the end.

Speaker 108 (04:45:07):
If she needs any more sleeping drafts, just give me
a ring of the surgery.

Speaker 1 (04:45:11):
I shall and thank you.

Speaker 3 (04:45:12):
Oh look here, I'll see you out, and no need
for that.

Speaker 23 (04:45:15):
Good Bye, goodbye bye, Oh thank gosh.

Speaker 10 (04:45:20):
Just a moment given.

Speaker 25 (04:45:22):
Don't it clear?

Speaker 4 (04:45:24):
All right?

Speaker 22 (04:45:25):
Thank god?

Speaker 23 (04:45:26):
There's been no fuss.

Speaker 2 (04:45:27):
Of course not.

Speaker 107 (04:45:29):
The inquest will be a formality, did I say? The
whole thing's utterly fool proof, provided we continue to act
with discretion.

Speaker 80 (04:45:37):
I've connived at murder because of you, Harry, and I
hope it'll be worth it, because if I ever find
out that you're playing around, I should admit the whole
thing and you Vivian and I will all go down together.

Speaker 109 (04:46:16):
I am the resurrection of the life saith the Lord.
Either believeth in me though he were dead, yet shall
he live? And whosoever believeth in me shall never die,
never die.

Speaker 3 (04:46:29):
I know that my redeemon never die. But they pronounced
me dead and set me in this hellish coffin to
be destroyed by flames in that murderous dare they doing
this to me? Lord Games places.

Speaker 10 (04:46:44):
There's no way to get out of being here.

Speaker 36 (04:46:52):
You can't give in.

Speaker 3 (04:46:53):
Now, be in here, in this foul darkness. Tell them, simon,
I beg you. Tell them my spirit is alive, and
my body must.

Speaker 57 (04:47:08):
Be preserved for it.

Speaker 109 (04:47:10):
For as much as it hath pleased Almighty God of
his great mercy to take God to himself. The soul
of our dear brother Stephen here departed. We therefore commit
his body to be cremated.

Speaker 3 (04:47:29):
I am not dead.

Speaker 4 (04:47:31):
I am not dead.

Speaker 3 (04:47:33):
How can you burn me when my spirit lives?

Speaker 2 (04:47:40):
This nightmare?

Speaker 3 (04:47:42):
How do I wake from it?

Speaker 9 (04:47:44):
Help me?

Speaker 110 (04:47:44):
Please help me, sim Oh, simoon, simo, stop them, stop them,
please stop.

Speaker 40 (04:47:58):
Please.

Speaker 109 (04:48:07):
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and the love
of God and the fellowship of the Holy Ghost be
with us all evermore.

Speaker 32 (04:48:18):
Amen, whatever you say, I miss him. You know in
a curious way that it's.

Speaker 107 (04:48:29):
Natural enough you live together for a long time.

Speaker 80 (04:48:32):
House's so empty without him. He was always here, comfortable,
reassuring and well in the background, like a familiar piece
of furniture that you don't value till it's taken away.

Speaker 107 (04:48:48):
You won't need to be alone too much longer. And
those bloody solicitors finally decide to shove out. We can
get abroad together for a while.

Speaker 23 (04:48:56):
I wish we could get married now. I hate this waiting.
I hate the lonely evenings.

Speaker 107 (04:49:02):
But we agree that all the proprieties would have to
be observed, all of them. And if we race into
marriage now tongues where questions would be asked.

Speaker 10 (04:49:09):
And that's something we can do with us.

Speaker 80 (04:49:11):
As I realize that, well, I think I shall sell
this house buy a flat for the time being.

Speaker 23 (04:49:17):
I just I just find this place oppressive.

Speaker 4 (04:49:20):
Now I like this house. I like it very much.

Speaker 1 (04:49:23):
I always have done.

Speaker 107 (04:49:25):
I don't want us to live in a flat.

Speaker 23 (04:49:27):
You forget I hold the purse strings.

Speaker 107 (04:49:30):
Of course you do, darling, And no one's going to
dispute it. But well, you're going to have to listen
them very shortly. Vivian's getting decidedly impatient for her fifteen
thousand pounds.

Speaker 80 (04:49:40):
Vivian shall have her pay off as some as the
executors released Stephen's money, and not before.

Speaker 107 (04:49:47):
Well, then let's hope we have doesn't have to wait
too much longer, love, Darling. I stayed long enough, the
bloody not that it will be here soon, and it's
better they don't find me.

Speaker 23 (04:49:54):
They won't be round till late. Must you go so soon?

Speaker 4 (04:49:57):
I must?

Speaker 107 (04:49:58):
We have to be sensible about this. Kah, I'll call
around tomorrow evening, all right about nine?

Speaker 98 (04:50:02):
Make it?

Speaker 23 (04:50:03):
Let's make it seven?

Speaker 4 (04:50:04):
Seven? You sure?

Speaker 23 (04:50:05):
Seven?

Speaker 32 (04:50:06):
Please?

Speaker 23 (04:50:07):
You have a key?

Speaker 85 (04:50:08):
I have a key.

Speaker 111 (04:50:10):
I'll be waiting, Kah, Harry, Harry, Is that you, darling?

Speaker 2 (04:51:00):
Kah, Henry?

Speaker 19 (04:51:09):
I can't tell you.

Speaker 9 (04:51:10):
Stop working about?

Speaker 18 (04:51:12):
Where are you?

Speaker 4 (04:51:16):
Hi?

Speaker 20 (04:51:17):
Hi?

Speaker 19 (04:51:17):
Stopping?

Speaker 3 (04:51:19):

Speaker 4 (04:51:22):
Hi?

Speaker 3 (04:51:26):
