Speaker 1 (00:01):
Tired of the everyday grind, ever dream of a life
of romantic adventure, want to get away from it all.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
We offer you.

Speaker 3 (00:16):
Escape, Escape transcribed to free you from the four walls
of today for a half hour of high adventure.

Speaker 1 (00:41):
You are running through the alleys of a Mediterranean village,
the blackness of the Italian night confusing you. While somewhere
in the dark behind you, coming closer as they search
for you, are a man and a beautiful woman who
mean to take your life.

Speaker 3 (01:02):
Listen now as Escape brings you Kathleen Heights Story.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
An ordinary man. I don't know yet why I said it,
but later, as I stood at the deck rail and

(01:26):
felt the light chill of the Mediterranean night, I decided
it was a good thing. I was forty years old.
In all my forty years, people had never looked at
me the way they had in the salon a few
minutes earlier. Forty years that's a long time to go unnoticed,
a long time to be just an ordinary man. I

(01:56):
had never known a beautiful woman, and Maria Novella was beautiful.
A man doesn't tell such a woman that he's an
assistant county assessor, or that this Mediterranean cruise took his
life savings. It was late. I was alone on deck,
and for the first time in my life, I felt

(02:17):
that I could be anything I wanted to be. A boy.

Speaker 4 (02:25):
Oh boy, hello, So this is where you came to
hide senior hands.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
Oh, Miss Novella, No, I just thought it was stuffy
in the dining room. Came out on deck to take
the air.

Speaker 4 (02:40):
You are very gallant, sor I too, found Signorina Preston's
little game. I'm very trying.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
Oh well, it wasn't a game so much. As a
matter of fact. I get sort of a kick out
of guessing who people are or what they do, and
then finding out whether I'm right or wrong.

Speaker 4 (03:00):
Can be very deceptive. You must have discovered that so
often they're not what they see. Is that not so?

Speaker 2 (03:10):
Oh? I don't know. I don't get fooled very often.
If you're a good judge of character, and I fancy
that I.

Speaker 4 (03:18):
Am, I'm sure that you.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
Are, well, thanks very much, not at all.

Speaker 4 (03:26):
It is a quality I admire. I am so often
wrong about people. I was completely wrong about you.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
Yes, I guess I had you fool all right.

Speaker 4 (03:39):
Your work must be fascinating.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
Oh, it's a job.

Speaker 4 (03:45):
But important rare gems. It has the sound of many things,
romance in its true sense, and history. And I should
think danger Oh.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
I suppose, But as I say, it's a job, even
scouting around the world in search of perfect stones. It
all becomes routine after a while.

Speaker 4 (04:13):
I think you are modest, senior hands. I think you
know a very great deal to do, not say, and
I think I will go right on regarding your life
as romantic and dangerous.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
Well, if it makes you happy, it does.

Speaker 4 (04:34):
You, see, senor, you prove my point. Oh how is
that that people are so often not what they see?

Speaker 2 (04:42):
Here?

Speaker 4 (04:42):
You are an importer of rare gems, and you have
the appearance of just an ordinary man. It's getting chilly.
I'm afraid that must go in now?

Speaker 2 (04:58):
Oh so soon? I mean, well, if you're chilli, I
could lend you my coat.

Speaker 4 (05:06):
It's also quite late.

Speaker 2 (05:08):
Oh well, then, may I see you to your cabin?

Speaker 5 (05:12):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (05:12):
Very nice. We seem to be very much alone.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
Yes, not a very lively group aboard, i'd.

Speaker 4 (05:24):
Say, And I had thought not a very interesting group
until tonight.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
Oh, yes, I guess you're right here. We are here, Well,
we're practically neighbors. I'm just a few doors down on
the other side.

Speaker 4 (05:38):
I know.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
Oh, oh you do?

Speaker 4 (05:41):
Do you mind that I noticed you?

Speaker 2 (05:44):
N then I'll bet you know. I don't mind the
least bit, I hope not.

Speaker 4 (05:50):
Sometimes in your handsome a woman traveling alone. She's afraid.
Just have been alone, she's afraid.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
Why no, there's nothing to be afraid of a small
cruise boat like this, not very many people.

Speaker 4 (06:02):
I should not trouble you. I talk to you.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
Just go right ahead. Are you you're trembling, mister, I'm
a foolish woman.

Speaker 4 (06:12):
I will say good night now, signor and thank you
for being so kind.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
Are you sure you're all right now? If you'd like
me to stay with you, no.

Speaker 4 (06:21):
Please, you must go and forget what I have said.

Speaker 6 (06:24):
Oh, I'm sorry, Signorina.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
It's only Pietro. Misterbllo. I see.

Speaker 6 (06:31):
I do not mean to frighten the Signorina.

Speaker 4 (06:35):
What are you doing in my cabin?

Speaker 6 (06:37):
I bring you the Signorina, fresh linens. It's enough crime,
fresh linens.

Speaker 4 (06:43):
So late at night, you bring me the linens.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
Yes, it is late, Pietro.

Speaker 6 (06:49):
Pietro has much work in so many cabins. The Signorina
was not in I did not think that she would mind.

Speaker 4 (06:58):
Going up Pietro. This must not happen again.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
As you away.

Speaker 6 (07:05):
Pietro would never frighten the Simorina.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
Are you afraid of him? Really?

Speaker 4 (07:12):
I do not know I'm afraid of anything.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
Because if you're afraid of Pietro, it's a simple matter
to tell the captain.

Speaker 4 (07:18):
I would not want that.

Speaker 2 (07:19):
Look, if it make you feel better, I'd be glad
to come into your cabin with you, just to look around,
be sure that everything is all right.

Speaker 4 (07:27):
No, I thank you, but no, you've talked too much.
You will please go now too.

Speaker 2 (07:35):
I I'd like to help you, miss Novella.

Speaker 4 (07:39):
Not now. We will meet tomorrow. Perhaps then you can
help me.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
My mind was full of Maria, and I didn't sleep
very well that night. A beautiful woman was afraid, and
she had brought her fears to me, or rather she
brought them to the man. She thought I was a
man whose business was danger in romance, a dealer in
rare gems. I knew that night that I would never

(08:19):
tell her the truth, that I must somehow come to
be this man. She thought I was.

Speaker 7 (08:27):
Your move.

Speaker 2 (08:27):
Hence huh oh, yeah, yeah, she is. Eh, I'm sorry
mister brilliant, my mind hasn't been on my checkers all afternoon.

Speaker 7 (08:37):
You would think we were playing chess for great stakes,
the way you study your moves.

Speaker 2 (08:41):
I'm not even thinking about the mister brilliant.

Speaker 7 (08:43):
I'll concede the game to you, and I will accept,
if only because it will be the first game I
have won from you in three days. You sure you
don't mind, I'm not at all. My friend, tell me,
have you business in Trapani? I asked if you had
business in trap Pany we dock in Sicily tonight.

Speaker 2 (09:02):
You know, no, no, no, this is just a pleasure trip.
Oh that is good. Then you will be able to
spend some time with me. Yes, I'd like that. I
didn't realize that Trapani was your home. It isn't that.

Speaker 7 (09:15):
I have many friends there. A particular friend occupies one
of the fine old Baroque palaces. He has an exceptional
collection of jewels. So the man with your knowledge of gems.
But you are not listening, are you himself?

Speaker 2 (09:32):
Oh? Well, to tell you the truth, I was looking
for someone. Really, I guess it's obvious. But I haven't
seen her all day?

Speaker 7 (09:41):
Do I know her?

Speaker 2 (09:42):
Oh, miss Novella, I don't place the name, should I? Yes,
last night in the salon, remember when Miss Thurston organized
our guess who game? Miss Novella was the beautiful dark
woman in green.

Speaker 7 (09:53):
Oh, yes, I do remember her now, very lovely, But
I don't believe i've seen her to day.

Speaker 2 (10:00):
I'm sort of concerned about her wrapped at her cabin
of tim or two. If she didn't answer, I think
I'll check again, Mad believe I would if you were
worried about them. Yes, I think i'd better excuse me.
Oh and thanks for the game, mister brilliant.

Speaker 7 (10:17):
I'll see you when we doel Oh.

Speaker 2 (10:18):
Yes, yes, yes, of course, my goodness.

Speaker 4 (10:30):
Sorry mister Hensel didn't see it.

Speaker 3 (10:32):
Are you hurt?

Speaker 2 (10:32):
No? No, no, Miss Thursday night, I.

Speaker 4 (10:35):
Blew my whistle, but I guess you didn't hear in time.

Speaker 2 (10:37):
I guess not doing.

Speaker 4 (10:39):
Wind sprints around the day, getting my land legs in shape.
Stop my gym classes every day with wind sprints.

Speaker 2 (10:44):
Well, don't let me keep you.

Speaker 8 (10:46):
Remember we were all paying indications tonight in the salon.

Speaker 4 (10:49):
Before we die.

Speaker 9 (10:52):
Oh oh oh, hello, senor hands.

Speaker 2 (11:13):
You were putting fresh linens in my cabin. Petrol fresh water.
They keep you pretty busy with linens and water, don't they.
Pietro has much work, so many cabins. I hope I
find everything in its place, Petrol, I hope it's so too,

(11:33):
Signor is it? It's mister Hensel. I was wondering if
if oh.

Speaker 4 (11:55):
Hello there, please come in senior hands.

Speaker 2 (11:57):
Well, if you're sure you don't mind I, well, frankly,
I've been worried about you, miss Novella.

Speaker 4 (12:03):
I did not sleep well last night. Told morning I
took a sedative. I awakened only a short time ago.
I was going to send for you.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
It is something wrong.

Speaker 4 (12:13):
I told you I might need your help. This is
why I am frightened.

Speaker 2 (12:25):
Oh my, what a beautiful brook.

Speaker 4 (12:28):
The last of my family's treasure, Signora, how old it is?
I do not know. My grandmother left it to me.
I've just come from her funeral.

Speaker 2 (12:36):
And listen you say, this is why you're frightened.

Speaker 4 (12:39):
I am a woman alone. Someone may no I have a.

Speaker 2 (12:42):
Brooch of great value, Pietro.

Speaker 4 (12:45):
Perhaps, Pietro, I do not know, Miss Novella.

Speaker 2 (12:48):
Why don't you go to the captain. I'm sure he
could offer protection.

Speaker 4 (12:51):
Until you're a should No, I will not call attention
to myself by going to the captain. If you will
not help me.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
No, but how can I be of help to you?

Speaker 4 (13:03):
You are used to these things. You often carry gems,
do you not?

Speaker 1 (13:07):
Oh no?

Speaker 2 (13:08):
Oh well of course yes, but I don't see you.

Speaker 4 (13:12):
I can trust you.

Speaker 10 (13:15):
Take it, please take it, keep it for me only
until with the akatrap only I will feel so much better,
so much safer.

Speaker 2 (13:26):
Yes, but if something should happen, this would.

Speaker 4 (13:29):
Be safe with you. I do not mean to impose,
but what else can I turn to if I cannot
trust you.

Speaker 2 (13:43):
You can trust me, Miss Novella.

Speaker 11 (13:46):
I'll keep it for you.

Speaker 7 (14:02):
Oh there you are handeled, ready to go ashore.

Speaker 2 (14:05):
Oh, mister brilliant. I was looking for someone.

Speaker 7 (14:07):
You are still looking for the same lady.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
Huh No, not still again? I really must find her.

Speaker 7 (14:14):
I had hoped we could go ashore together.

Speaker 12 (14:16):
That would be fine, But I promised, Miss Novella. Yes,
the signorina, leave this if were you left it? When
a few minutes ago she has gone ashore?

Speaker 2 (14:31):
Gone?

Speaker 6 (14:31):
But surely she must say it is a small hotel
de Monte San Juliano.

Speaker 2 (14:39):
How did you know that, signor.

Speaker 3 (14:55):
You are listening to an ordinary man Tonight's presentation on Escape,
A suspect and a hold up and a known narcotics
user cross the path of your night Watch during Tomorrow
Night's tour of duty on CBS Radio Tomorrow and every
Friday night on most of these same stations, You're on
the case with night Watch, a police recorder and actual

(15:16):
police in a prowl car, protecting the public from wrongdoings
and wrongdoers. Remember night Watch, exciting authentic stars address listening
Tomorrow night, and now Escape and the second act of
an ordinary man.

Speaker 2 (15:46):
Hotel Montesan Giuliano, Please hurry. The urgency of Maria Novella's
note saw me through those next minutes. In my confusion,
I lost track, mister brilliant. Somehow I managed to get
through customs. What I would have said if they had
found the broach it on a know I only knew
that I must find Maria Nobela and return it to her.
She was not registered. When I arrived, I took a

(16:08):
room and waited, and.

Speaker 7 (16:10):
Then just maned. I was afraid I had lost you. Hencil. Oh,
come in, mister brilliant. You never lose that look, Pencil.
Always when we are together, you are looking for someone else.

Speaker 2 (16:30):
Sure seems that way, doesn't it.

Speaker 7 (16:31):
You have not found the lady yet, Signorina Novella.

Speaker 2 (16:34):
No I haven't. I good, then I will take it. Hencil.
You you, we will take one.

Speaker 7 (16:41):
Please. We are old friends. We played checkers together. Please
do not make me shoot an old friend. I want
to broach you. You know you can puzzle over it
when I am gone, Hencil, but these are ugly little episodes.

Speaker 2 (16:56):
We should not prolong there. I am not a brave man,
mister brilliant, but I'll tell you whole thing that good?

Speaker 7 (17:03):
Then you will not have to act like one. Now,
where is it in one of your suitcases?

Speaker 2 (17:09):
I will let you.

Speaker 7 (17:13):
I did not want to do that, please, but you
are such a foolish man, and you waste my time.
You forced me to find it myselflf No.

Speaker 2 (17:21):
But you can't. I promised.

Speaker 8 (17:24):
I promised, but I came as soon as I could,
and I trusted you.

Speaker 2 (17:36):
I know I know how he knew I had approach.
I don't know. I'm ashamed, so completely ashamed, Pietro. He
must have known that.

Speaker 4 (17:47):
I am too plain. I should never have given it
to you. It was my responsibility.

Speaker 2 (17:52):
I should never have taken it. But if I hadn't,
mister Brilliant would have found you. And well, at least
I save.

Speaker 4 (17:58):
You that I'm not blaming you. Please understand that I'm
just so very upset.

Speaker 2 (18:05):
Well, oh, this is no good. We'll have to go
to the police.

Speaker 4 (18:08):
I had not thought of the police. No, no, I
don't want to.

Speaker 2 (18:14):
But I've already called him, called as soon as he left.
I must say, they were very calm about it. I
said I'd have to come there and make a report.

Speaker 4 (18:21):
Oh no, I didn't go through that. I've been too
long under this trainer.

Speaker 2 (18:26):
Oh well, I guess I can handle it myself, if
you trust me again, Oh, trust you.

Speaker 4 (18:36):
It's only that I'm so wary of this if the
police would come.

Speaker 2 (18:41):
Here, but I'll bring them now. Don't you worry. You
just stretch out here. No one will bother you. Now,
there would be no reason. No, I'll hurry, and don't worry,
miss Novella. I just won't rest until I get that
brooch back for you. The Trapani police continued to take

(19:05):
the whole matter with great calm. I had the feeling
that they thought I'd manufactured the entire story, and it
was well after midnight before I finally persuaded one of
them to go back to the hotel with me.

Speaker 13 (19:17):
I imagine the signor Inn I will be asleep.

Speaker 2 (19:20):
Yes, I should think so. I think the whole town
of Trapani is asleep, including its police force. We like
to be sure, Signor. Sometimes it takes time to be sure.
And all that time, mister brilliant was speeding away somewhere
scott Free. Is easy to leave the Trupani.

Speaker 13 (19:39):
If you missed the brilliant was anxious to leave. He
could have been gone in minutes.

Speaker 2 (19:42):
Is that any reason not to try to stop him?
Here we are quietly now, Miss Nobella, Miss Nobella, the
room is empty, Signori. Well, I don't understand that she

(20:06):
must be here. Is she in the closet, Senor No?
But then she must have left the note.

Speaker 13 (20:20):
I do not see a note, do you no, the
Signorina she had a room here at the hotel.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
Yes, I'm sure she did. That must be where she's gone.
We will sit.

Speaker 13 (20:36):
Connectedly plays with the room of her.

Speaker 2 (20:38):
Name, Novella, Maria Novella.

Speaker 13 (20:41):
You Signorina, Maria Novella.

Speaker 2 (20:43):
I will wait. Are they wringing her room? They are
checking her number?

Speaker 11 (20:49):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (20:50):
That must be where she is. They probably got tired
of waiting for us, just went to her own room.
Well you can't blame her.

Speaker 11 (20:59):
Yeah, yeah, you are sued.

Speaker 2 (21:04):
H wasn't she there?

Speaker 13 (21:07):
The hotel says they have no guest by the name
of Maria Novella.

Speaker 2 (21:11):
No guest the cigarette, no no shints. I know, I
know you don't believe there is any Maria Novella, just
like you don't believe anything else I've told.

Speaker 13 (21:25):
You, very fantastic story Signor you meet the lovely lady
on a boat for no reason. You tell her you
are an importer of rare jewels. The lady is a
fright and she trusts you. It gives you a fine
old brooch. Then you landed trumpa. The man you play
checkers with steals the brooch. Now all three are gone.

Speaker 2 (21:46):
The lady, the man, the bro I didn't make it up.
I couldn't make it up. It happened. I tell you
she may be in danger, she may have been kidnapmed.

Speaker 13 (21:54):
Sorry, we cannot deal with what may have been. You
need a rest, then tomorrow you can enjoy Trapani. It's
really a very nice place.

Speaker 2 (22:13):
He was ripe. I needed a rest. But where was
Maria Novella. Oh. I should never have gone to the
police alone. My mind was full of things I should
never have done. If only I had just been content
to be an ordinary man.

Speaker 4 (22:27):
Oh, hellone, Oh are you all right?

Speaker 5 (22:34):
I am safe with Fred.

Speaker 2 (22:35):
Oh, thank Heaven. When we came back and you were gone, I.

Speaker 5 (22:39):
Should have let it not, but I was so upset.
You understand, well.

Speaker 2 (22:42):
I do, but the police don't. I can't understand it,
but they don't believe anything I told them.

Speaker 5 (22:47):
My friends have talked to me. They think we must
go to the police.

Speaker 2 (22:50):
Together, and I think that's the only way.

Speaker 5 (22:53):
And I cannot rest now until we do. Please this
last favor. Please, I'm here for me.

Speaker 2 (23:06):
I was able to find, but must have been the
only taxi in Trapani at that hour. I gave him
the directions Maria Novella gave me, and we wound through
a series of narrow streets to what seemed to be
the edge of the city. A soft rain began to fall.
I told myself it would all be.

Speaker 4 (23:21):
Over soon, commencing that handsome.

Speaker 2 (23:35):
Well, I'm afraid I'm pretty wet.

Speaker 4 (23:37):
You are just fine.

Speaker 2 (23:40):
Oh my, I should have asked that taxi to wait
it's a shame to bother your friends at this time
of night.

Speaker 4 (23:46):
They are not mind and you have been.

Speaker 7 (23:48):
So kind, unbelievably kind and.

Speaker 2 (23:53):
Brilliant.

Speaker 7 (23:54):
But like most kinds of people, you are inclined to meddle.

Speaker 2 (23:57):
Miss Novella.

Speaker 4 (23:58):
Do what you have to do, Ransome Henry, quick about it.

Speaker 7 (24:01):
But we owe Hensel an explanation to look at this
confusion you, the two of you together, worse than that
hansil marriage.

Speaker 4 (24:09):
I said, be quick about it, Ransom and.

Speaker 7 (24:13):
Very impatient girl Maria, but so beautiful, Hensel, and so helpless.

Speaker 2 (24:19):
She needs a strong man like you to protect her.
You planned it deliberately.

Speaker 7 (24:27):
But why we needed someone to take the brooch off
the boat? You see, such a simple reason, and you
made it so complex for us. So you and Pietro,
Pietro such an ardent young Latin. Pietro. If he had
not detained Maria, she would have met you at the hotel.
You would have delivered the brooch to her gladly as

(24:50):
it was. I had to trouble you for it. Now
the police are involved. It's very messy hand.

Speaker 2 (24:56):
Soon the brooch isn't hers. There's no dead grandmother in Lisbon.
You stole a broach.

Speaker 14 (25:04):
You are thinking, hencil, but a little lady, and she
gave it to me because I was supposed to be
a gem expert, and if the authorities founded on me,
there would be no trouble.

Speaker 2 (25:16):
Is that right?

Speaker 7 (25:17):
That is very wrong a gem expert? Who would believe
that of such an ordinary man?

Speaker 2 (25:26):
No one.

Speaker 7 (25:27):
I guess we picked you for yourself alone. You are
a nice, ordinary man. I hate to tell you. Tell
me what out in the garden, A very old cistern
of the Romans built it. I don't think anyone will
ever find you.

Speaker 2 (25:47):
You are going to kill me, No such a thought.

Speaker 7 (25:53):
We are only going to let you die not much further, Hanson.

(26:13):
You must be very tired.

Speaker 2 (26:15):
Hi, yess I am. The rest will do you good?

Speaker 7 (26:22):
Small enough?

Speaker 2 (26:22):
You are you all right? Singer?

Speaker 11 (26:26):
Hanson?

Speaker 2 (26:27):
Oh I'm much better? Thanks you. You brought the police, Hanson.
You No, I didn't have anything to do with well,
did I? Officer? Oh? I think so?

Speaker 15 (26:45):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (26:46):
I got to thinking about your story. She's a very
fantastic story. He's so unbelievable. But then I think about you,
such an ordinary man. You could not make up said
your story, so I'd follow.
