Speaker 5 (00:53):
The last stop light, the last traffic lights is very supposed.
The boulevard crosses Van Sura Terminal hooks. The next one's
nearly forty miles northwest of Camarillo, so we felt pretty
sure there'd be nothing to stop us.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
For a long time. And even though they weren't very
far behind this then I knew most of the.
Speaker 5 (01:12):
Side roads, I wasn't sure they did. I thought of
the road the branches off the Hidden Valley Road, it
goes the other way from Lake Sherwood. And I thought
of the East Potrero Road that goes down to the
coast road finally leads previously over through the sand dunes
of on Amy. I was afraid they might know that way.
(01:33):
And then I remembered last for Hamous Canyon. I remember
the little house away up under the hills, the place
we used to call Shangri La, and I was sure
they wouldn't know that place. Now you need a place
to hide out in in the back of your cars,
loaded down with two satchels full of money they used
to belong to somebody else, And there's bright fresh blood
(01:54):
on the handle of one of them. The last days
of summer in California, the time when you know where
it's summer goodbye, when the rains are sweeping down from
(02:15):
the northwest that they have been gathering up over Randa Fukah,
drenching the forests and the north, turning the snow over
the high Sierras, drifting southward to kissed summer goodbye.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
And turn the long brown hills into green pastures. When
the little brooks would fill up and overflow.
Speaker 5 (02:33):
Their banks, the sleepy Los Angeles River would come to
life again.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Down in the valley, roads would disappear in the mud
the last days of summer.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
And then I knew if we could hide away somewhere till
the rains came, maybe hard.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Put the fowls.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
Maybe they'd come a day when we could pull out again,
and that money that used to be somebody else's would
be ours, not ons of mine, and not in California either.
Speaker 6 (03:07):
No nothing to rich rot, nor we get it almost
any day now.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
It certainly doesn't look like it.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
Naw, does it?
Speaker 6 (03:15):
You can't tell in California.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Sooner the better.
Speaker 6 (03:17):
It's right. We've been off summer. We get up in
the canyon there. You know I'm afraid of fire.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Yeah, we had no fires all summer.
Speaker 6 (03:28):
It already takes it right around.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
See if you can see anybody.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
Well nobody think they got tied up in the traffic
back there?
Speaker 6 (03:36):
Then nice finer, But yeah, I hope so too.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Keep a sharp eye off for motorcycle cops too.
Speaker 6 (03:45):
But he took it. We gotta stop the speeding.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
You feel sorry for anybody to try it?
Speaker 6 (03:49):
Me too, I wonder what about that wonderfu caaren.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Attaching nothing to wonder about.
Speaker 6 (03:58):
I guess not. I got my hands on staty and
that's hatchwell too.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
We can wash when we get up there.
Speaker 6 (04:06):
How there's nobody up there.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
So do I be too bad? If there is?
Speaker 6 (04:14):
Lollo? Do you think we can get out of stuck
to rain?
Speaker 1 (04:18):
I hope so, and will probably got out of pieces
were all the better for us.
Speaker 6 (04:24):
I wouldn't want to get to tuck.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
We won't.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
Figure how to look.
Speaker 5 (04:29):

Speaker 1 (04:43):
I have to do better than that.
Speaker 6 (04:45):
How much product probably can off?

want us to have it. Forget it.

I can't forget it. No, I think they're getting closer.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Can you see them?
Speaker 6 (06:31):
There's too many turns in the road.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Would be a breast junction in a minute where we
turn off. If they follow it, I don't think they
will if they don't see his turn. They got right
on our venture of robot.

If they stop it at somebody, well, if they.

Down the winding road, past the steeper the path that
leads up the last Bahamous schoolhouse to dately On, past
the barn where the dog comes out with bite ticket tires.

Down the winding road.

Under the trees, to the clump of eucalyptus at the
center of currents.

Try carrying away to Sacho's full of money with a
dozen people watching you.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
And try racing across the countryside with a.
Speaker 5 (12:19):
Frightened woman in the past car and three colors of
con right behind you. Get stuck in the sand twenty
miles in no places, somebody watching you, and then.

Speaker 1 (12:36):

Speaker 5 (12:45):
Late summer afternoon, laughing, lazy, the smell of eucalyptus trees
around you, not a sound to reach you, not a
sound except.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
The scrape of the travelers.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
You dig and dig and dig at the sand to
keep shifting.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Out of the wheels, and your wife standing there with
a gun if you watch to get on a ooz
and the afternoon's shadows growing longer and longer, and a little.
Speaker 5 (13:15):
Breeze coming up to rest of the leaves, and make
you think you're not. A hoo's creeping up on your head.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
You to throw it on, a gun on you and
say come out with me, kids, let us hang here
for a robbery and murder.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Then you know all you want is to get up
there of the.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
Deserted old house and stash away the sackles and money
and just lie lad of arrange time on a compas
stay in.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
The station house, and the curtain of rain hide you as.
Speaker 5 (13:40):
You creep out, And that's the highway to a boat
that's gonna take you the money in her away someplace
where they will never, never, never find you. All you
got plenty to think about while you're digging, and the
shadows crawled on the hillside toward you.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Wonder if you'll ever ben't get out of there. I'm
gonna try it sometimes, he's old friend.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
Ah, it's everything's got the end sometime, and at last
the back wheels free and you get back.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
In and ease yourself out of there.
Speaker 5 (14:17):
And it's dark now as you take that wunny little
trail up between the hills. It's so hard to see
even at the daytime, if there's somebody watching us, nor
to yourself it's just stopping up in the dark.
Speaker 6 (14:28):
Turn the bride lights on.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
And everybody within twenty miles to see.
Speaker 6 (14:31):
Nobody lives up here.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
We'll be all right with these lights. You can't get
off the trail unless we throw down the hill stone.
You won't fall in somebody's where you cut it out.
Speaker 6 (14:43):
Sorry, I'm scar.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
There's nothing to be scared of. I know that's.

I give you something to remember when we're living on
some nice warm isle and down the south specific somewhere
six thousand miles away from here, we.
Speaker 6 (15:22):
Ever get there?
Speaker 1 (15:24):
What'd you say?
Speaker 6 (15:25):

Oh, I don't know. He sure look the same.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Wow, that's silly. How could he get ahead of us?
All the time I was doing seventy five eighty miles
an hour. He was walking.
Speaker 6 (15:49):
Maybe I can't hear you, I said, maybe he was walking.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
You're crazy.
Speaker 6 (15:53):
Well, maybe you get a motorcycle something.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
How could he get past this? We'd have seen him
if he passed. Cut it out. Just a snake in
the road you run over, Yeah, lucy, k snake. It
brings rain. That's what we want.
Speaker 6 (16:15):
I hate to see the summer go away.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Not me. Summer good bye, that's what I say, And
good riddance. I don't want rain. I wish we'd get there. Yeah,
that's just up this little slope, honey, and then we
can rest.
Speaker 6 (16:35):
I'm worn now, Hey too, we've had a day.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
I'll see if you want some coffee? No coffee? Why
I'm gonna go to fire up here?
Speaker 6 (16:51):
Why the glass on fire? Try about that time? What
side trying to take? No slop and no fire to
be on.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
This stone that somebody might see it anyway. You ever
see a rush fire up here in the canyon. No,
you don't want to see one, believe me. I guess
there's only this one road to get out, see, I know.
And we drive right into the hands of the cops. Yeah,
a good rain it'll be all right.
Speaker 6 (17:21):
It doesn't feel much like rain.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Now.
Speaker 6 (17:25):
Oh, isn't this the trot?
Speaker 1 (17:26):
I think it's a couple of hound yards more?
Speaker 6 (17:29):
Oh right, there's good rush.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Sure that's right, guys.
Speaker 4 (17:36):

You can't go much fun of the canyon into my
past the house.

Speaker 3 (18:43):
What's the matter?
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Where is that gun?
Speaker 1 (18:48):
What's the matter is that somebody? The house is gone?
I said, The house is gone? She said, And the
(19:09):
house was gone.
Speaker 5 (19:11):
I saw it three and a half months before, and
it was there in the framed cabin, three rooms, a
little ports in the chimney, big as I I.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Know it was there then, but in the ducks that
night it was gone. Friend, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (19:26):
I checked out at the lone eucalyptus tree that stood
alongside the porch.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
The tree was there, the house was gone.
Speaker 5 (19:33):
It wasn't the slightest sign of the house had ever
stood there, nothing dug up, no degree of any kind,
no sign had ever been a house there.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
In the dim starlight in the.
Speaker 5 (19:43):
Middle of the night, my wife and me looking at it,
me holding a satchel full of money in one hand.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
And a loaded cocked pistol in the other, and topped that.
Friend started to cry, well, I'll be.
Speaker 6 (20:04):
Took us to the wrong place.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
I wonder if I oh, I couldn't have.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
I know.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
I ring onto that trail, Madeline. You don't recognize the
rapt that looks like didn't you didn't? I what recognize it?
Speaker 6 (20:19):
I thought it? Where is this house?
Speaker 1 (20:21):
I don't know. Somebody must have torn it down, taken
it away.
Speaker 6 (20:24):
Doesn't look as if there ever was a house here.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Man, you can't see in the dark. This is the place.
All this is shangri Laman. I'm scared.
Speaker 6 (20:34):
Let's get out of here.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Get out of here and go where? Oh no, what
we do? Give me that?
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Give me?
Speaker 1 (20:44):
That's that over there? Looks like somebody said a campfire.
Yeah that's what it is. H Oh. Other people that
tore down the house probably build it to burn up rubbish.
(21:05):
That's probably don't find anything.
Speaker 6 (21:09):
What are you gonna do?
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Nothing else to do? Go back and sleep in the
car with those SAgs, with the wind of the blood,
blood and the money. Baby will be able to sleep
a week. You said you were a tired I stied
to sleep on a funk in the house. No came
and turned down. I told you you talk as if
I owned it.
Speaker 8 (21:31):
I don't go, sweetheart, where two jumps ahead of the
cops were loaded with two bags of money.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
They saw us knock off that guard. What do you
want to do?
Speaker 8 (21:40):
Go to the hotel from saying a bar bro, don't
be a jerk.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
I'm sorry. I'm making at myself. Ah, that's sick. Good
hope we don't have to stay here very long. Kah,
it'll rain any day. Summer is over.
Speaker 8 (22:05):
Baby, Now I come on back the car. I'm out
on my feet. I throw that place down.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Wasn't that man was so cut it out? These a
million miles away from here, there was a rifle shot.
I wonder if getting a car. Don't get in the car.
I don't hear anything.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Maybe somebody I'm taking the.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Past out of the beer. Get inside the car. You
hurt me. It's anybody.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Where where he stead and the little slope of the
hill above him.
Speaker 5 (23:12):
Behind us, mist was drifting over the stars, but I
couldn't mistake him. Khaki shirt lily live vivised, no hat,
rifle in his hand. I shouted at him, but he
didn't even look down at me, and raised his rifle
and fired. Immediately there was an answering clapped from somewhere
over the hills.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Flow us.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Made was long alongside the car, hying.
Speaker 5 (23:36):
I stood there, stood there, unable to move, And he
started down the hill tortoise, and then a sudden flurry
of shocks in the distance, and like a character in
an old time silent movie, he stumbled and fell down
the hill tortoise, and I could see the spreading sting across.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
His kaki shirt in the starlight.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
His step tooted. He didn't even look at me.
Speaker 9 (24:05):
Painfully oohed so painfully he drew himself up on his knees,
aim the longest time, and I fired one shot.
Speaker 5 (24:17):
Madelone yell, and all I could hear in the dark
was her butt and breasting breath.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
And when I reached her, his threader was black with blood.
She can only guess.
Speaker 5 (24:32):
I raised the pistol an injured that the man who
had murdered my wife, And I pressed the trigger once twice,
three four times, and then set up again.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
And I saw the bullets hit him in the tilight,
but he didn't even cringe.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Silently, deliberately reached in his pocket, pulled out a match
and struck it, went down to set fire to the summer.
Speaker 5 (24:54):
Dry grass, and then half a second the scene was.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Bright as day.
Speaker 5 (25:00):
Racing pirodically hardly had time to snatch upon hurry the
car sht away back where we came from.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
There's nothing else to do.
Speaker 5 (25:10):
Time at Christon.
Speaker 7 (25:10):
Canyon, trail of power, pursuit, time, the devastating fire hanging
at it, time through the pal time to the Sandy Creek,
power higher alls at our heels, and then just as
we crossed the creek.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
The rain began. Blessed rain, who was to have saved us.
Speaker 10 (25:38):
Now that we get in, goodbye to summer.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
And at the corners turn by the ranch.
Speaker 5 (25:48):
The police car was waiting, and Medlin was dead. H
I told them under the guns, and I could see
they didn't believe me. I babbled about the rain, how
(26:08):
it put out the.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Fire, how the house was gone, and they laughed. And
then it was morning, when it was broad.
Speaker 5 (26:18):
Daylight, we went back up the canyon, up the twisting trail.
I mean, there was no sign of fire, me and
the police. And when we got there on the daylight.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
There was the house.
Speaker 5 (26:38):
Just is it always a been And there hasn't been
any fire, not the night before anyway. One of the
police officers told me about it.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Remember or maybe don't. Twenty seven years ago there was
a fellow.
Speaker 10 (27:02):
Murdered a couple up here and last Hin's canyon, he said,
And he hid away up here twenty some years ago,
he said, and pass he came on him at knife
and they killed him.
Speaker 5 (27:15):
How he managed to set the grass on the fire
that night it burned out the whole countryside.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
He said.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
He was a bad man, he said, not up here.
Speaker 5 (27:26):
I remember him so well, a hitchhiker. He was wore
a pair of Levi's and the khaki shirt. Remembering very well,
he said, so do I.

The American Broadcasting Company presents Quiet Please, which is written

Please for today is called Summer Goodbye.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
H m hm.
Speaker 5 (00:53):
The last stop light, the last traffic lights is very supposed.
The boulevard crosses Van Sura Terminal hooks. The next one's
nearly forty miles northwest of Camarillo, so we felt pretty
sure there'd be nothing to stop us.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
For a long time. And even though they weren't very
far behind this then I knew most of the.
Speaker 5 (01:12):
Side roads, I wasn't sure they did. I thought of
the road the branches off the Hidden Valley Road, it
goes the other way from Lake Sherwood. And I thought
of the East Potrero Road that goes down to the
coast road finally leads previously over through the sand dunes
of on Amy. I was afraid they might know that way.
(01:33):
And then I remembered last for Hamous Canyon. I remember
the little house away up under the hills, the place
we used to call Shangri La, and I was sure
they wouldn't know that place. Now you need a place
to hide out in in the back of your cars,
loaded down with two satchels full of money they used
to belong to somebody else, And there's bright fresh blood
(01:54):
on the handle of one of them. The last days
of summer in California, the time when you know where
it's summer goodbye, when the rains are sweeping down from
(02:15):
the northwest that they have been gathering up over Randa Fukah,
drenching the forests and the north, turning the snow over
the high Sierras, drifting southward to kissed summer goodbye.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
And turn the long brown hills into green pastures. When
the little brooks would fill up and overflow.
Speaker 5 (02:33):
Their banks, the sleepy Los Angeles River would come to
life again.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Down in the valley, roads would disappear in the mud
the last days of summer.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
And then I knew if we could hide away somewhere till
the rains came, maybe hard.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Put the fowls.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
Maybe they'd come a day when we could pull out again,
and that money that used to be somebody else's would
be ours, not ons of mine, and not in California either.
Speaker 6 (03:07):
No nothing to rich rot, nor we get it almost
any day now.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
It certainly doesn't look like it.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
Naw, does it?
Speaker 6 (03:15):
You can't tell in California.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Sooner the better.
Speaker 6 (03:17):
It's right. We've been off summer. We get up in
the canyon there. You know I'm afraid of fire.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Yeah, we had no fires all summer.
Speaker 6 (03:28):
It already takes it right around.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
See if you can see anybody.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
Well nobody think they got tied up in the traffic
back there?
Speaker 6 (03:36):
Then nice finer, But yeah, I hope so too.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Keep a sharp eye off for motorcycle cops too.
Speaker 6 (03:45):
But he took it. We gotta stop the speeding.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
You feel sorry for anybody to try it?
Speaker 6 (03:49):
Me too, I wonder what about that wonderfu caaren.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Attaching nothing to wonder about.
Speaker 6 (03:58):
I guess not. I got my hands on staty and
that's hatchwell too.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
We can wash when we get up there.
Speaker 6 (04:06):
How there's nobody up there.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
So do I be too bad? If there is?
Speaker 6 (04:14):
Lollo? Do you think we can get out of stuck
to rain?
Speaker 1 (04:18):
I hope so, and will probably got out of pieces
were all the better for us.
Speaker 6 (04:24):
I wouldn't want to get to tuck.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
We won't.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
Figure how to look.
Speaker 5 (04:29):
Back nobody, Yes, And I think we're getting away from.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
If we don't get stuck behind a truck.
Speaker 6 (04:42):
Yes, you're doing.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
I have to do better than that.
Speaker 6 (04:45):
How much product probably can off?
Speaker 1 (04:47):
I mean four or five six miles? Maybe more. I'll
throw it there over the Canoga Park.
Speaker 6 (04:54):
Here, anything sorr.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Can me?
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Hear them long ways off though, Hang on, we're going places.
Hope you don't blow cut it out.
Speaker 7 (05:08):
Fat chance hitchhiker see him, blue dunnim pants, khaki shirt.
Speaker 6 (05:13):
Take the next turner there, I'm just going off of fast.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Throw the boys behind us? No, what let do we
do if.
Speaker 6 (05:24):
They catch up with it?
Speaker 1 (05:25):
They won't catch up with it?
Speaker 6 (05:27):
So what if they do?
Speaker 4 (05:29):
Well, let's say grab us.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Well, there's tapas, tapas.
Speaker 6 (05:35):
What do you mean?
Speaker 5 (05:37):
Let me stop on a platform with a rope around
our next Sunday pull the platform out from unders.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Yeah, that's what they do to people. Let's murder other people.
Speaker 6 (05:46):
Honey, I didn't hurt anybody, nor you were.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
With me when I did. You didn't try to stop me.
You grabbed the satchel he was carrying my hand.
Speaker 6 (05:57):
I didn't have a chance to wash them.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
I wish wish.
Speaker 6 (06:03):
What now they hit?
Speaker 4 (06:04):
Take it?
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Yeah, it looks just like the road we just passed.
Wish what what wish what?
Speaker 6 (06:11):
Oh? I wish we hadn't done it.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
You want to keep on living in that shack down
on Temple Street.
Speaker 6 (06:17):
I wish we hadn't killed it.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
We had the honey, we wanted the money. He didn't
want us to have it. Forget it.
Speaker 6 (06:25):
I can't forget it. No, I think they're getting closer.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Can you see them?
Speaker 6 (06:31):
There's too many turns in the road.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Would be a breast junction in a minute where we
turn off. If they follow it, I don't think they
will if they don't see his turn. They got right
on our venture of robot.
Speaker 6 (06:42):
If they stop it at somebody, well, if they.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Follow us, that got loaded.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
See the safety so off?
Speaker 6 (06:50):
So really get it.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
There was nothing else to do, honey, were dead pigeons.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Anyway, it's a beautiful day. Yeah, to die.
Speaker 8 (07:03):
They won't die, baby, die, We won't die.

Look, there's a turn on. Hang on, here we go.

He was standing by that live oak tree.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
He's listen to go on. Hang on to your hat, baby.
Speaker 5 (08:33):
We made it around the corner of French Junction Simon
last Van's Canyon Road as we passed the big yellow
sign knows smoking your fires.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Beyond this point we heard the sirens of.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
The police cards screaming their way on up and durable
of hot away from us, and we breathed alongside of relief,
slowed down at last to a respectable thirty miles an
hour in the dust among the sunflowers.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Down the winding road, past the off top of the fields
and the side road that leads down to the creek.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
Down the winding road, past the steeper the path that
leads up the last Bahamous schoolhouse to dately On, past
the barn where the dog comes out with bite ticket tires.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Down the winding road.
Speaker 5 (09:24):
Under the trees, to the clump of eucalyptus at the
center of currents.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Grounds ranch and sharp turn left past.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
The high wire fence to the clump of scrubble where
you turn off across the fields at the bottom of
the hills, up the changula, the rounds through the willows,
down through the handy with the crick bed.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
It's a roaring talons and it rains across the fields
and take down the bars and the gate up toward
the hill.

He's staying right in sight of him.
Speaker 5 (11:58):
Well, I was scared too, you think not, so can
I yourself? Sometimes try MdeR and a man in broad daylight.
Try carrying away to Sacho's full of money with a
dozen people watching you.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
And try racing across the countryside with a.
Speaker 5 (12:19):
Frightened woman in the past car and three colors of
con right behind you. Get stuck in the sand twenty
miles in no places, somebody watching you, and then.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Disappearing.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
You're looking for.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Sure, Sure you'll be just as scared as I was.
Speaker 5 (12:45):
Late summer afternoon, laughing, lazy, the smell of eucalyptus trees
around you, not a sound to reach you, not a
sound except.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
The scrape of the travelers.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
You dig and dig and dig at the sand to
keep shifting.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Out of the wheels, and your wife standing there with
a gun if you watch to get on a ooz
and the afternoon's shadows growing longer and longer, and a little.
Speaker 5 (13:15):
Breeze coming up to rest of the leaves, and make
you think you're not. A hoo's creeping up on your head.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
You to throw it on, a gun on you and
say come out with me, kids, let us hang here
for a robbery and murder.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Then you know all you want is to get up
there of the.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
Deserted old house and stash away the sackles and money
and just lie lad of arrange time on a compas
stay in.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
The station house, and the curtain of rain hide you as.
Speaker 5 (13:40):
You creep out, And that's the highway to a boat
that's gonna take you the money in her away someplace
where they will never, never, never find you. All you
got plenty to think about while you're digging, and the
shadows crawled on the hillside toward you.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Wonder if you'll ever ben't get out of there. I'm
gonna try it sometimes, he's old friend.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
Ah, it's everything's got the end sometime, and at last
the back wheels free and you get back.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
In and ease yourself out of there.
Speaker 5 (14:17):
And it's dark now as you take that wunny little
trail up between the hills. It's so hard to see
even at the daytime, if there's somebody watching us, nor
to yourself it's just stopping up in the dark.
Speaker 6 (14:28):
Turn the bride lights on.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
And everybody within twenty miles to see.
Speaker 6 (14:31):
Nobody lives up here.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
We'll be all right with these lights. You can't get
off the trail unless we throw down the hill stone.
You won't fall in somebody's where you cut it out.
Speaker 6 (14:43):
Sorry, I'm scar.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
There's nothing to be scared of. I know that's.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
A dear.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
You're all around his eyes and the lights you look like.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
I know what they look like.
Speaker 6 (14:57):
Somebody scaring?
Speaker 1 (14:58):
It's only a per.
Speaker 6 (15:01):
How much fatter is it?
Speaker 1 (15:03):

Speaker 2 (15:04):
Now?
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Do you remember this turn? Don't you?
Speaker 6 (15:07):
I don't remember anything.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
I'm tired and cold and the boaty.
Speaker 5 (15:14):
I give you something to remember when we're living on
some nice warm isle and down the south specific somewhere
six thousand miles away from here, we.
Speaker 6 (15:22):
Ever get there?
Speaker 1 (15:24):
What'd you say?
Speaker 6 (15:25):
If we ever get there?
Speaker 1 (15:27):
We'd get there?
Speaker 6 (15:30):
No, Well do you think though, that hitchhikers would be a.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Top some bomb? Listen?
Speaker 1 (15:40):
That wasn't the same guy? You're crazy?
Speaker 6 (15:41):
Oh, I don't know. He sure look the same.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Wow, that's silly. How could he get ahead of us?
All the time I was doing seventy five eighty miles
an hour. He was walking.
Speaker 6 (15:49):
Maybe I can't hear you, I said, maybe he was walking.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
You're crazy.
Speaker 6 (15:53):
Well, maybe you get a motorcycle something.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
How could he get past this? We'd have seen him
if he passed. Cut it out. Just a snake in
the road you run over, Yeah, lucy, k snake. It
brings rain. That's what we want.
Speaker 6 (16:15):
I hate to see the summer go away.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Not me. Summer good bye, that's what I say, And
good riddance. I don't want rain. I wish we'd get there. Yeah,
that's just up this little slope, honey, and then we
can rest.
Speaker 6 (16:35):
I'm worn now, Hey too, we've had a day.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
I'll see if you want some coffee? No coffee? Why
I'm gonna go to fire up here?
Speaker 6 (16:51):
Why the glass on fire? Try about that time? What
side trying to take? No slop and no fire to
be on.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
This stone that somebody might see it anyway. You ever
see a rush fire up here in the canyon. No,
you don't want to see one, believe me. I guess
there's only this one road to get out, see, I know.
And we drive right into the hands of the cops. Yeah,
a good rain it'll be all right.
Speaker 6 (17:21):
It doesn't feel much like rain.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Now.
Speaker 6 (17:25):
Oh, isn't this the trot?
Speaker 1 (17:26):
I think it's a couple of hound yards more?
Speaker 6 (17:29):
Oh right, there's good rush.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Sure that's right, guys.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
I nearly got lost, so.
Speaker 6 (17:37):
You can't go much fun of the canyon into my
past the house.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Sure, kay, that's different here tonight.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Nobody's up here. There isn't anybody.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Don't worry.
Speaker 6 (17:52):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
That's forget it. Okay, this is good. You're park here.
You go ahead and unlock the door. I'll get this
stuff up and bring it up. Flashlight in the glove compartment.
You go unlock it? Scared?

Go ahead, I'll be right behind, all right, Watch offers
makes I will.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
What's the matter?
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Where is that gun?
Speaker 1 (18:48):
What's the matter is that somebody? The house is gone?
I said, The house is gone? She said, And the
(19:09):
house was gone.
Speaker 5 (19:11):
I saw it three and a half months before, and
it was there in the framed cabin, three rooms, a
little ports in the chimney, big as I I.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Know it was there then, but in the ducks that
night it was gone. Friend, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (19:26):
I checked out at the lone eucalyptus tree that stood
alongside the porch.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
The tree was there, the house was gone.
Speaker 5 (19:33):
It wasn't the slightest sign of the house had ever
stood there, nothing dug up, no degree of any kind,
no sign had ever been a house there.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
In the dim starlight in the.
Speaker 5 (19:43):
Middle of the night, my wife and me looking at it,
me holding a satchel full of money in one hand.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
And a loaded cocked pistol in the other, and topped that.
Friend started to cry, well, I'll be.
Speaker 6 (20:04):
Took us to the wrong place.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
I wonder if I oh, I couldn't have.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
I know.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
I ring onto that trail, Madeline. You don't recognize the
rapt that looks like didn't you didn't? I what recognize it?
Speaker 6 (20:19):
I thought it? Where is this house?
Speaker 1 (20:21):
I don't know. Somebody must have torn it down, taken
it away.
Speaker 6 (20:24):
Doesn't look as if there ever was a house here.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Man, you can't see in the dark. This is the place.
All this is shangri Laman. I'm scared.
Speaker 6 (20:34):
Let's get out of here.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Get out of here and go where? Oh no, what
we do? Give me that?
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Give me?
Speaker 1 (20:44):
That's that over there? Looks like somebody said a campfire.
Yeah that's what it is. H Oh. Other people that
tore down the house probably build it to burn up rubbish.
(21:05):
That's probably don't find anything.
Speaker 6 (21:09):
What are you gonna do?
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Nothing else to do? Go back and sleep in the
car with those SAgs, with the wind of the blood,
blood and the money. Baby will be able to sleep
a week. You said you were a tired I stied
to sleep on a funk in the house. No came
and turned down. I told you you talk as if
I owned it.
Speaker 8 (21:31):
I don't go, sweetheart, where two jumps ahead of the
cops were loaded with two bags of money.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
They saw us knock off that guard. What do you
want to do?
Speaker 8 (21:40):
Go to the hotel from saying a bar bro, don't
be a jerk.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
I'm sorry. I'm making at myself. Ah, that's sick. Good
hope we don't have to stay here very long. Kah,
it'll rain any day. Summer is over.
Speaker 8 (22:05):
Baby, Now I come on back the car. I'm out
on my feet. I throw that place down.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Wasn't that man was so cut it out? These a
million miles away from here, there was a rifle shot.
I wonder if getting a car. Don't get in the car.
I don't hear anything.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Maybe somebody I'm taking the.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Past out of the beer. Get inside the car. You
hurt me. It's anybody.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Where where he stead and the little slope of the
hill above him.
Speaker 5 (23:12):
Behind us, mist was drifting over the stars, but I
couldn't mistake him. Khaki shirt lily live vivised, no hat,
rifle in his hand. I shouted at him, but he
didn't even look down at me, and raised his rifle
and fired. Immediately there was an answering clapped from somewhere
over the hills.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Flow us.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Made was long alongside the car, hying.
Speaker 5 (23:36):
I stood there, stood there, unable to move, And he
started down the hill tortoise, and then a sudden flurry
of shocks in the distance, and like a character in
an old time silent movie, he stumbled and fell down
the hill tortoise, and I could see the spreading sting across.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
His kaki shirt in the starlight.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
His step tooted. He didn't even look at me.
Speaker 9 (24:05):
Painfully oohed so painfully he drew himself up on his knees,
aim the longest time, and I fired one shot.
Speaker 5 (24:17):
Madelone yell, and all I could hear in the dark
was her butt and breasting breath.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
And when I reached her, his threader was black with blood.
She can only guess.
Speaker 5 (24:32):
I raised the pistol an injured that the man who
had murdered my wife, And I pressed the trigger once twice,
three four times, and then set up again.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
And I saw the bullets hit him in the tilight,
but he didn't even cringe.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Silently, deliberately reached in his pocket, pulled out a match
and struck it, went down to set fire to the summer.
Speaker 5 (24:54):
Dry grass, and then half a second the scene was.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Bright as day.
Speaker 5 (25:00):
Racing pirodically hardly had time to snatch upon hurry the
car sht away back where we came from.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
There's nothing else to do.
Speaker 5 (25:10):
Time at Christon.
Speaker 7 (25:10):
Canyon, trail of power, pursuit, time, the devastating fire hanging
at it, time through the pal time to the Sandy Creek,
power higher alls at our heels, and then just as
we crossed the creek.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
The rain began. Blessed rain, who was to have saved us.
Speaker 10 (25:38):
Now that we get in, goodbye to summer.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
And at the corners turn by the ranch.
Speaker 5 (25:48):
The police car was waiting, and Medlin was dead. H
I told them under the guns, and I could see
they didn't believe me. I babbled about the rain, how
(26:08):
it put out the.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Fire, how the house was gone, and they laughed. And
then it was morning, when it was broad.
Speaker 5 (26:18):
Daylight, we went back up the canyon, up the twisting trail.
I mean, there was no sign of fire, me and
the police. And when we got there on the daylight.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
There was the house.
Speaker 5 (26:38):
Just is it always a been And there hasn't been
any fire, not the night before anyway. One of the
police officers told me about it.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Remember or maybe don't. Twenty seven years ago there was
a fellow.
Speaker 10 (27:02):
Murdered a couple up here and last Hin's canyon, he said,
And he hid away up here twenty some years ago,
he said, and pass he came on him at knife
and they killed him.
Speaker 5 (27:15):
How he managed to set the grass on the fire
that night it burned out the whole countryside.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
He said.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
He was a bad man, he said, not up here.
Speaker 5 (27:26):
I remember him so well, a hitchhiker. He was wore
a pair of Levi's and the khaki shirt. Remembering very well,
he said, so do I.
