Escape, Escape, designed to free you from the four walls
of today for a half hour of high adventure.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
There's a fortune in the cabin of an airplane crashed
on an island somewhere in the Caribbean, and only you
know where it is by your side, sailing the treacherous channels,
a smiling killer with a knife from whom there is

Speaker 2 (02:37):
Come on in.
Speaker 7 (02:43):
That's the oil business, okay, lots of work as usual?
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Are your legs? Eighteen months in the hospital in Mexico City,
But they're okay.
Speaker 7 (02:53):
Now, what do you want, Frank? You've give him it
to me to give you a what the look the
old meat stuff? We don't need any pilots, nothing, open hair, Frank.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
I'm not looking for work. I'm looking for a boat.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
You give up flying?
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Did you for the moment?
Speaker 7 (03:10):
Yeah, now that's on your mind.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
One of those power launchers out there, like the rent
one for about four or five days? Why flowing over
these waters a million times? I guess maybe I want
to get a little closer to.
Speaker 6 (03:25):
Him, do some fishing, relaxed.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Before I go back to the stage. How about him?
Speaker 7 (03:30):
Those are company boats, you know. I can't do anything
like that. Sorry, got five hundred bucks for you? No thanks,
seven to fifteen, Nope, not for a million.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
It's not a very friendly way to talk. After eighteen months, I.
Speaker 7 (03:42):
Didn't know whether i'd ever see you again, Frank, but
I told myself if I did see you, I'd put it.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Right on the line. You're yellow.
Speaker 7 (03:49):
You let four people die, You bailed out of that plane,
and you didn't even tell them how to get into
that parachute hornet. There wasn't time, But the Board of
Inquiry Reports said there was time enough for you to
get out. Maybe that's okay, the boative inquiry. But I
said it was your job to look out for your
passengers first. So I'll tell you again you're a coward.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Anything else too bad.
Speaker 7 (04:11):
They didn't have to chop your legs off, Dorian. Put
your closer to the size you really are.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
I'll get out of here.
Speaker 8 (04:40):
I thought i'd find you here.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Where else you go on a hot night in Mexican town,
even outside like this, Oh, sit down, I like you
better out of your what's your name? Where's your home? Irin?
Here and lots of Americans round gives you a taste
what it's like in the good USA.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
See.
Speaker 8 (05:02):
I want to go there very much, to the United States.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Maybe one of those American college boy engineers working for
Ryan will turn the trick for you.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
With the chr reer carts and the things they say
with the wink of the eye, I hate them, I
hate all of them.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Still your best bet, Well, I had enough of this.
See in the States, sometimes you go no nothing around here.
Speaker 8 (05:26):
I am around here.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Ah, Hey, you are trying o ant.
Speaker 8 (05:32):
Maybe, Hey, yes, what is you? Laugh at me?
Speaker 2 (05:36):
H with you?
Speaker 8 (05:41):
It's warm here you walk by the water.
Speaker 5 (05:44):
Sure, I well, it's funny.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
What's funny?
Speaker 9 (05:56):
You came in too, Senor Ryan today and ask about
the boat. He told me about it later.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Ryan and his lousy boats.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
Think about this all day. That is why I find you.
I think you want to run a boat bad.
Speaker 8 (06:09):
Very bad.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
You talk like you got one in.
Speaker 8 (06:12):
A little way.
Speaker 5 (06:12):
I do have one.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
When you got a fishing jig, your pauper, your brother,
get a little squirt of a bark that I can
stand up and take through the surf.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
No, it is a power lunch like those over there.
Lunch belongs to someone I know.
Speaker 9 (06:26):
He buy it from one of the old company two
years ago and make it over us.
Speaker 8 (06:30):
It for big fishing. It's a good boat, very good.
Maybe he ran it to you.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
If I ask him, where is it there?
Speaker 10 (06:38):
Want to look?
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Sure? Where's your friend? He's aware now causes a boat run.
Speaker 9 (06:53):
It's good enough for fishing. That is why you wish
a boat. Yes, you see good engines.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
I have to hear them. You can't tell about looking.
Speaker 8 (07:05):
He got many times in this boat. Four five six
days at.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Sea, well, Maria, I'll tell you what you do. You
tell your friend I'm mist didn't run it for five days.
Tell them I'll give him three hundred bucks.
Speaker 8 (07:16):
You would laugh at you.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
You can take it or leave it. Leave it, and
I guess it's thanks for showing me.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
This is the only boat around here that is not
owned by this allies, our oil company.
Speaker 8 (07:26):
You do not take this one. You take nothing nothing.
Now will you call fishing?
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Huh?
Speaker 9 (07:31):
Maybe I should say, how will you get to the
island without it? Both two months they searched for the plane,
and then it was decided crash into the sea. But
he did not go into the sea. He's still other
somewhere on one of the silence. You need a boat together.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
You're crazy.
Speaker 9 (07:47):
I know there was a pyrol on that plane. Eight
thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
You got it all figured. Haven't you suppose what you
say is true? And I took this boat? What then?
I suppose I just let it lay. Suppose I didn't
hear what you just said. I suppose it means nothing.
Speaker 9 (08:05):
Then I got to the police and tell him what
I think you think they'd listen if I told him
how I anxious you are about it?
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Both the police and the insurance company, the bonding company,
the oil company have asked all the questions they want.
They were on me for three months while I was
in the hospital with my legs and a hoist. So
maybe you haven't got such a good thing at that.
So we know where we stand there. And what about
your friend?
Speaker 8 (08:29):
I would pay him for my half, all right.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Sunday morning, six o'clock, not fuel and food the last
for five days. If these thing's in shape, if your
friend's okay, and if I feel like it, I might
take a trip.

I lived both diapets and the comfort. I fought your fault.
I got you into this. I didn't mean for it
to end this way area. I'd like to tell you something.
When a plane ran out of gas, I tried to
tell those four workers how to get into the shoots.
I really tried. They didn't speak English and I didn't
(23:52):
speak their language, and I just wasn't time. I could
have stayed with the plane and died, then maybe it
would have been better. But I bailed out, and I
saw a crash here in the hospital. I got the
idea about the money. When you say this to me,
they hate to drag you with me. You don't deserve it.
Just a kid who wanted to go to the States.
(24:13):
I'd have been proud to take you there.
Speaker 4 (24:15):
You love me, I believe you. M It is a
good feeling. We tually die, but it is a good feeling.

Can you walk?
Speaker 2 (24:36):
I can try it.
Speaker 8 (24:39):
He did not leave here to die.
Speaker 5 (24:41):
He came back.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
I can't believe it. Wait what she's stuck in the sand,
she's unmanned.
Speaker 6 (24:49):
He did not come back for us.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
No, that boat just drifted in. Come on, Oh on
the rear. You couldn't get up. You couldn't get through
the reef alone. And the knife fight. He bled, he's dead. Marianne, No,
we wouldn't live.
Speaker 5 (25:28):
Five five four four.
Speaker 10 (25:37):
We made it.
Speaker 2 (25:37):

Speaker 7 (02:53):

Speaker 2 (03:04):
I'm not looking for work. I'm looking for a boat.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
You give up flying?
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Did you for the moment?
Speaker 7 (03:10):
Yeah, now that's on your mind.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
One of those power launchers out there, like the rent
one for about four or five days? Why flowing over
these waters a million times? I guess maybe I want
to get a little closer to.
Speaker 6 (03:25):
Him, do some fishing, relaxed.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Before I go back to the stage. How about him?
Speaker 7 (03:30):
Those are company boats, you know. I can't do anything
like that. Sorry, got five hundred bucks for you? No thanks,
seven to fifteen, Nope, not for a million.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
It's not a very friendly way to talk. After eighteen months, I.
Speaker 7 (03:42):
Didn't know whether i'd ever see you again, Frank, but
I told myself if I did see you, I'd put it.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Right on the line. You're yellow.
Speaker 7 (03:49):
You let four people die, You bailed out of that plane,
and you didn't even tell them how to get into
that parachute hornet. There wasn't time, But the Board of
Inquiry Reports said there was time enough for you to
get out. Maybe that's okay, the boative inquiry. But I
said it was your job to look out for your
passengers first. So I'll tell you again you're a coward.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Anything else too bad.
Speaker 7 (04:11):
They didn't have to chop your legs off, Dorian. Put
your closer to the size you really are.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
I'll get out of here.
Speaker 8 (04:40):
I thought i'd find you here.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Where else you go on a hot night in Mexican town,
even outside like this, Oh, sit down, I like you
better out of your what's your name? Where's your home? Irin?
Here and lots of Americans round gives you a taste
what it's like in the good USA.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
See.
Speaker 8 (05:02):
I want to go there very much, to the United States.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Maybe one of those American college boy engineers working for
Ryan will turn the trick for you.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
With the chr reer carts and the things they say
with the wink of the eye, I hate them, I
hate all of them.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Still your best bet, Well, I had enough of this.
See in the States, sometimes you go no nothing around here.
Speaker 8 (05:26):
I am around here.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Ah, Hey, you are trying o ant.
Speaker 8 (05:32):
Maybe, Hey, yes, what is you? Laugh at me?
Speaker 2 (05:36):
H with you?
Speaker 8 (05:41):
It's warm here you walk by the water.
Speaker 5 (05:44):
Sure, I well, it's funny.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
What's funny?
Speaker 9 (05:56):
You came in too, Senor Ryan today and ask about
the boat. He told me about it later.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Ryan and his lousy boats.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
Think about this all day. That is why I find you.
I think you want to run a boat bad.
Speaker 8 (06:09):
Very bad.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
You talk like you got one in.
Speaker 8 (06:12):
A little way.
Speaker 5 (06:12):
I do have one.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
When you got a fishing jig, your pauper, your brother,
get a little squirt of a bark that I can
stand up and take through the surf.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
No, it is a power lunch like those over there.
Lunch belongs to someone I know.
Speaker 9 (06:26):
He buy it from one of the old company two
years ago and make it over us.
Speaker 8 (06:30):
It for big fishing. It's a good boat, very good.
Maybe he ran it to you.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
If I ask him, where is it there?
Speaker 10 (06:38):
Want to look?
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Sure? Where's your friend? He's aware now causes a boat run.
Speaker 9 (06:53):
It's good enough for fishing. That is why you wish
a boat. Yes, you see good engines.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
I have to hear them. You can't tell about looking.
Speaker 8 (07:05):
He got many times in this boat. Four five six
days at.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Sea, well, Maria, I'll tell you what you do. You
tell your friend I'm mist didn't run it for five days.
Tell them I'll give him three hundred bucks.
Speaker 8 (07:16):
You would laugh at you.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
You can take it or leave it. Leave it, and
I guess it's thanks for showing me.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
This is the only boat around here that is not
owned by this allies, our oil company.
Speaker 8 (07:26):
You do not take this one. You take nothing nothing.
Now will you call fishing?
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Huh?
Speaker 9 (07:31):
Maybe I should say, how will you get to the
island without it? Both two months they searched for the plane,
and then it was decided crash into the sea. But
he did not go into the sea. He's still other
somewhere on one of the silence. You need a boat together.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
You're crazy.
Speaker 9 (07:47):
I know there was a pyrol on that plane. Eight
thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
You got it all figured. Haven't you suppose what you
say is true? And I took this boat? What then?
I suppose I just let it lay. Suppose I didn't
hear what you just said. I suppose it means nothing.
Speaker 9 (08:05):
Then I got to the police and tell him what
I think you think they'd listen if I told him
how I anxious you are about it?
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Both the police and the insurance company, the bonding company,
the oil company have asked all the questions they want.
They were on me for three months while I was
in the hospital with my legs and a hoist. So
maybe you haven't got such a good thing at that.
So we know where we stand there. And what about
your friend?
Speaker 8 (08:29):
I would pay him for my half, all right.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Sunday morning, six o'clock, not fuel and food the last
for five days. If these thing's in shape, if your
friend's okay, and if I feel like it, I might
take a trip.

I lived both diapets and the comfort. I fought your fault.
I got you into this. I didn't mean for it
to end this way area. I'd like to tell you something.
When a plane ran out of gas, I tried to
tell those four workers how to get into the shoots.
I really tried. They didn't speak English and I didn't
(23:52):
speak their language, and I just wasn't time. I could
have stayed with the plane and died, then maybe it
would have been better. But I bailed out, and I
saw a crash here in the hospital. I got the
idea about the money. When you say this to me,
they hate to drag you with me. You don't deserve it.
Just a kid who wanted to go to the States.
(24:13):
I'd have been proud to take you there.
Speaker 4 (24:15):
You love me, I believe you. M It is a
good feeling. We tually die, but it is a good feeling.
Speaker 5 (24:32):
The boat what the boat is back? He goes back?
Speaker 8 (24:36):
Can you walk?
Speaker 2 (24:36):
I can try it.
Speaker 8 (24:39):
He did not leave here to die.
Speaker 5 (24:41):
He came back.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
I can't believe it. Wait what she's stuck in the sand,
she's unmanned.
Speaker 6 (24:49):
He did not come back for us.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
No, that boat just drifted in. Come on, Oh on
the rear. You couldn't get up. You couldn't get through
the reef alone. And the knife fight. He bled, he's dead. Marianne, No,
we wouldn't live.
Speaker 5 (25:28):
Five five four four.
Speaker 10 (25:37):
We made it.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
We made it this far. Baby, h We're clean out.
Open see your head, letn't see. You're safe.
Speaker 8 (26:00):
Up screen.
