Escape.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
It's time to escape into the world of adventure. Time
to forget for the next half.

Hours the four walls of today and.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Escape beyond the horizons of the mind Yesterday and tomorrow.
CBS and it's affiliated stations present Escape.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
Tonight.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
We escape with Rugged Kipling and the two gentle scoundrels
he created in his immortal story.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
The man who would be key the.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Time some time before yesterday, the place the north of India,
The man who tells the story Rudyard Kipling.
Speaker 5 (01:09):
A one Saturday night, it was my unpleasant duty to
put the paper to bed alone. It was a pitchy,
black knight, as stifling as night can be in India
in June. It was very still, save for the ticking
of the clock above my desk, which seemed to shatter
the black heat of the night. As the hands crept
(01:31):
toward three a m. And then from the passage outside
my door, I heard voices.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Here, open the door, who's there? Who are you? He
don't remember us? Stand lety down?
Speaker 4 (01:50):
How could he forget?
Speaker 6 (01:51):
Avenus turned back at the jog foreboarder told the authorities
he was impersonated newspaper report as he did.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Wait that flaming red Beard and that bald head.
Speaker 7 (02:02):
Why for your Daniel Dravett and Peachey Carnahan the same. Well,
what do you want? If it's money, I haven't any.
If it's a fight, it's simply too beastly hot.
Speaker 8 (02:13):
You can rest to serve easy, sir, because we've come
asking for nought, accept some information.
Speaker 6 (02:18):
We've been all over this country and we've concluded that
India isn't big enough for such as Daniel and mid
So we're going away to be king things in our
own divine right.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
What I we shall be king?
Speaker 6 (02:31):
We've signed a solemn contract each day up the other.
I'm neither of us to take a look at the
liquor or women until we become king.
Speaker 5 (02:39):
Why, I've never heard of such a fantastic idea. But
what is it you want of me?
Speaker 8 (02:44):
Nought not to look at such maps of Kaffiristan as
you might have about maps of Kaffiisttan.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
That's where we decided to go.
Speaker 5 (02:51):
But don't you realize that not one single Englishman has
ever gone into the Kaffiristan mountains and lived to come
out again. If you're really mad enough to go there,
you're a good deal more likely to become dead men
than kings.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
We shall see.
Speaker 5 (03:03):
Anyway, I don't believe you had the slightest intention of
traveling a mile outside of Delhi.
Speaker 6 (03:08):
Then you should come down to the Serai marketplace in
the morning, down where the caravans leave for the north. Yes,
come down to the Seraye in the morning and see
then if we.
Speaker 9 (03:17):
Be liars, Oh, thieves, lover liars, the blessing of beer,
colibal O, bigs, dogs and Bertuz.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
You should not laugh at him.
Speaker 6 (03:40):
Shabe, the witless are under the protection.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Of a lad.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
Quite so, boy who is the fellow anyway?
Speaker 10 (03:45):
A mad pre Sabe who has arrived only this morning,
framishmir Ah, Yes, Si.
Speaker 8 (03:52):
Come to look at my camels loaded with toys to
please the eye of an amir.
Speaker 5 (03:57):
Oh here, now go about your business. I haven't any
use for toys.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
These are wondrous toys.
Speaker 8 (04:02):
Indeed, Sahib, fit for a king of Kafiristan.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
What good Lord Daniel Kravitz, quiet, come.
Speaker 6 (04:11):
Along, I have two camels just beyond the wall. Here.
The blessings of peer can on the gracious Sahib.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Who consents to look at the poor toys of a
priest from Ashmir Over this way. Where's Conahan? Here? We are?
Speaker 6 (04:25):
Permit me to present my servant? Has he a mere car?
Speaker 3 (04:29):
At your service? Good night?
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Well i'll be.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Did you like our disguises? Did they pass?
Speaker 5 (04:36):
If they fool this crowd in the Serai, they're probably
good enough to get you across the border, and good
enough to get you killed.
Speaker 8 (04:42):
Getting killed, there is no part of the contract pitching
me drawed up, although perhaps killing fits in with our
plans in a different sense. Feel around underneath the toys
they are in the camel bags.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
What go ahead, good lord?
Speaker 6 (04:56):
Rifle twenty brand new martiniz with ammunition.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
The match, and twenty good reasons to make your death certain.
Any patent of the hill tribes would kill his own
mother to get a rifle?
Speaker 11 (05:06):
Now?
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Who would harm a poor mad priest?
Speaker 6 (05:09):
Sahib Ella protects me.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Mad is right?
Speaker 6 (05:14):
Then, so was Lord Clive and Rhades and Buonaparte. Drive
out the camel's peachy. We've a long way to go
before we become kings.
Speaker 5 (05:21):
Why as I stood and listened to the camel bells
fade away in the distance, I wondered, wondered if it
might not be a glorious thing to go to Kafira
stand and be a king. Three years, passing India as
(05:48):
much as they pass in any other land. It grows hot,
then the rains come, and then the heat again. Some
colonel of the hill station puts down an uprising, and
you Viceroy comes out from London, and the paper dewally
records the death of a sultan in rajput Dana, and
the trees in the courtyard grow a few feet taller. Finally,
(06:12):
time in its circle turned up another night, much like
the one three years before. Once again I sat alone
in the office, listening to the clock and waiting for
some unimportant item to come over the wire from Europe.
It was long after midnight when my office door slowly opened.
(06:34):
I say, look here, you you might knock first.
Speaker 7 (06:36):
You know, no, good lord man, what's wrong? I You
don't know who I am?
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Do you? No?
Speaker 4 (06:52):
No?
Speaker 5 (06:52):
I haven't the faintest idea. But here you'd better sit down,
old fellow. You're in a bad way. Yes, thank you.
It's a whole year. I've been walking.
Speaker 12 (07:07):
Ah right here in this very office were saturday, you
setting right there and giving us the maps. You you've
been sitting there ever since three years?
Speaker 5 (07:27):
No, oh, no, why a man couldn't change that much
in three years? You're not Peachy con Henlet.
Speaker 7 (07:35):
Yes, I was King Kapberristan, Me and Daniel dragt real crown,
king's mews just as true as gospel.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
What in the name of heaven had they done to you,
Peachy peachey?
Speaker 7 (07:54):
I knew Peachy cahnon once he's a king. Where's a
real a golden crown on his heads up?
Speaker 11 (08:02):
He does?
Speaker 4 (08:05):
Hey?
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Is that?
Speaker 8 (08:08):
No?
Speaker 7 (08:08):
No, No, you're your Peachy Conahan. You must pull yourself together.
Speaker 11 (08:14):
Pull myself.
Speaker 7 (08:18):
You can't keep looking into my eyes. Then maybe everything
will go to pieces.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
All right?
Speaker 13 (08:27):
Now, tell me what happened, Peach. We left the caravan
the jag dollar. We'll struck off into the hills alone.
Go on which it was we trouble, Daniel and me.
First there wasn't no roads, and after a while no food.
Speaker 11 (08:48):
But there was always the drums. Sometimes there was close
and sometimes farther off, but most to the time we
could hear them somewhere.
Speaker 6 (09:05):
Well, yeah, no, it's no place to be starving up
with you, I'm hearing. It's no use, Daniels. What's got
into them? The poor beasts are done? In them, starved,
same as ourselves.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
They'll go no further.
Speaker 6 (09:21):
Then we'll go on without them.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
I've not come this far to die.
Speaker 6 (09:24):
On the side of a mountain.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
Wait, look, Dan, you over the edge of the rocks.
Oh men they are. There'll be a score of more
than one goes.
Speaker 6 (09:35):
Ahead of the rest, and nought but those and arrows.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Break out a pair of the rifles, peachey, it's now
that we start to become kings. Yeah, yeah, and some
cockage just too.
Speaker 8 (09:46):
Beating our peache I'll drop the stragger at the rear first,
and then we'll lay a few at their feet.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Now after the one in front.
Speaker 6 (09:53):
We may need him now, Daniel, look at them, I
flat on their blooming faces, helda it's Commandaloon, well and good,
and we'll go part way to meet him, Peachy, But
keep your rifle by you cant him, Daniel, he'd be
(10:15):
as fair as us with yellow hair.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
So he does.
Speaker 8 (10:19):
Part of the lost tribes. These people are he stopped
the lord Erry, Peachy, we're in luck.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
It's the old Afghan tongue. He speaks speak up, who
are you? And whence do you come? And the paint
turney home, you hot beach this bash guy. How many people?
The parson there are more villages in the hills, has fingers.
Speaker 6 (10:52):
And to here that Peachy is our kingdom made to order.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
And you you're going to take us to Vashka. Do
you understand?
Speaker 4 (11:02):
I understand the voice.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
He's a smooth one, Peachy. He knows a thing or two.
What's your name? That's too long? What you we call
him Peachy?
Speaker 6 (11:15):
He has a look about him of an old soldiering
friend of ours, Billy Fish.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
So he does. We bestow a new name on you.
From now on, you will be Billy Fish as you
come out, all right, put this on your drums.
Speaker 8 (11:32):
Tell them two kings have come out from the mountaintops,
two kings that speaking words of thunder.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
So the earth trembles.
Speaker 6 (11:41):
Tell them, two kings have come to Kafiristan. That you preachy,
damn you? Why be you setting here in the dark.
(12:02):
I've been thinking. A man has to stop and think sometimes,
have anything special, Danion?
Speaker 8 (12:08):
Look at em Peachey, look at their blinking camp fires,
a gleaming in the dark.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
Right the jewels in a crown.
Speaker 6 (12:14):
Aye, Daniel, You're done a fine job for sure. All
twenty three villages you joined together as one. Tis the
army you trained to be thanked for it. Two thousand
men with a fair knowledge of.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Bearing arms, some a bit green at it.
Speaker 6 (12:29):
Yet the wells now every man, jackwoman, and child.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
We own a body and soul.
Speaker 7 (12:35):
II.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
We're kings now, Daniel, not proper kings yet, but we
will be sooner than you think.
Speaker 6 (12:42):
Peachey, how's that Billy Fish told me something to day?
Speaker 3 (12:46):
That fear amaze me?
Speaker 6 (12:48):
These people know the craft, you mean, their freemasons, Daniel, Oh,
it ain't no wise possible.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
So help me.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Its gospel true. He give me the grip and everything.
It's old. The craft is.
Speaker 6 (13:01):
Older than the memory of man, and up here in
the hills they've been preserving it all these years. Why
some of the high priests know up through the fellow craft,
but they don't know the third degree, see it, Peachy.
They don't know the third degree, but we do.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Daniel, what is it you're fixing to do? Do?
Speaker 6 (13:19):
We are going to be proper kings. We're going to
get them going and coming.
Speaker 7 (13:23):
Now.
Speaker 8 (13:24):
I'm going to turn the whole country into one grand lodge,
raise some of the priests a third degree, and for
me I'll be the grand Master of Kafira Stan.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
But you ain't got the right, dour. We never been
officers in no lodge.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
Right.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
What's a king got to do with asking.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
For a right?
Speaker 6 (13:41):
Or I'm against it, Daniel. It's no good to go
falling around with the craft.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
You talk like an old woman. The thing will work,
I know it will.
Speaker 8 (13:49):
We'll make it a blooming ceremony, regular aprons with the
symbol and the marks, all of us, Peachey, the kings
of Kafira Stan.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
Everything is prepared, Master, and the priests and the people wait.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Well, they don't have to wait much longer.
Speaker 6 (14:15):
Billy, here now, Peachy, how do you like my apron?
Speaker 3 (14:18):
It's a wondrous light not pair damiel, made of white
herb in skin it is.
Speaker 6 (14:23):
And the Master's mark with emeralds studdied the mark.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
You know the meaning of the mark. Then I do
what's got into you, Billy, not but tis a thing
that's passing strange.
Speaker 6 (14:35):
Master Traine and Rubbish come along now ready, Peachy, right
with you, Daniel. Then out we go onto the temple steps.
We'll give them what for, knock their blinking eye down.
That's what we'll do, Love of Peachy, right, down on
their rub.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
But yelling there for it more? And I victim mer
thick Daniel, the promise one have come.
Speaker 11 (15:11):
Here?
Speaker 3 (15:11):
Know what's wrong with the priest? Billy? It looks like trouble, Daniel.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
Stand where you are, Master? They recognized the mark.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
That great stone in the floor. Why do they turn
it over?
Speaker 4 (15:23):
Wait?
Speaker 3 (15:28):
It's the same promise, speak of Billy, fish, what's the
meaning of it?
Speaker 4 (15:37):
See for yourself?
Speaker 6 (15:39):
Look, Daniel, carved on the back of the stone tis
the master's mark, all right, and the same as the
sign you wear.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
Only a few of the priests have known of the
hidden mark on the stone.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
What does it mean?
Speaker 4 (15:52):
The many who have doubted you were a god? Doubt
no longer.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
And you, Billy, what do you think?
Speaker 4 (16:00):
I muster? I think that now it is the time
for these.
Speaker 6 (16:06):
Daniel, golden crowns. Hi, how they glitter glit for the
brow of a king.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Tis what we came for here.
Speaker 6 (16:17):
Now put them on. We'll crown ourselves in our own right. Well, listen, Tom,
you know something peachy. We come here to be kings,
and that we are all right but blamed if we
ate a couple of brooming gods to boom with a.
Speaker 9 (16:34):
Million people bowing on their knees before us.
Speaker 7 (16:53):
Well enough, peachy. So it was God who became as
well as kings. But then what happened? What came of
Daniel drap drag I knew Daniel dragt once he's a king?
Now who Daniel is? Where's a golden crown?
Speaker 11 (17:13):

Speaker 7 (17:14):
Who was with him?
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Pity?
Speaker 7 (17:16):
Try to pull yourself together outside? Now you became kings,
you and Daniel kings of Alkafinistan.
Speaker 11 (17:25):
He was a fine figure. Daniel was with his red head, wearing.
Speaker 7 (17:30):
That golden crown, kept himself aloof from the people, so
to speak. And when he walked up over the temple,
the fair crawled on their stomachs to worship.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
But what happened?
Speaker 7 (17:44):
Man happened? Well a figure? Mostly it was winter coming on.
The winds were started up and the clouds was blowing
down from the north. Oh, come blobistly, gole that winter wind?

Speaker 14 (18:43):
I do not understand.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
Why were you crawling on your knees.
Speaker 14 (18:48):
It's a fitting way to approach the god of Kafirta.
Speaker 3 (18:52):

There'll be a little moving about a for spring. Right
(19:55):
you are Fiji. I've decided to take a wife, but
you can't. You know it, Daniel, we made a contract
that was till we was kings, well, kings. We've been
many months now, but it's no good. I tell you now.
I'm against against it. You was against using the craft too,
but look what it's done for us.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
But this is different.
Speaker 6 (20:15):
Billy Fish will tell you nold too, the same as

the drums and tell every blighter out there in the
hills the Kingdom of Kafiristan is going to have a queen.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
What's keeping her pitchy? They should have brought her in
here half an hour ago.
Speaker 6 (20:57):
I don't know, Daniel, how about you, Billyfish.

Speaker 4 (21:03):
Certain preparations must be made, Muster.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
She's across the court with some of the priests.
Speaker 6 (21:09):
Maybe they try to harpen her up a bit, Daniel.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
She thinks she's going to die, you know. Ah, Indeed,
why no, Master.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
It is against the laws of Heaven for a woman
to marry a god.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
I'm not a god.
Speaker 15 (21:22):
I'm a man. You know that man?
Speaker 3 (21:24):
Now, Billy, No, And I.
Speaker 10 (21:26):

this can mean only trouble. I beg you to reconsider,
and I beg you to shut up, Billy. I'm through waiting.

Speaker 6 (21:38):
Got to go with him, Billy, And I'm thinking it's
going to mean trouble. How many men can you defend?
Speaker 3 (21:45):
Depend on?
Speaker 4 (21:46):
No more than twenty with rifles. Most of my men
are in Bushquai, and what shall we do. We shall
have to make a run for it. I fear we
might be safe in Bushquai.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
Go now, you markling fools. Bring out the girl.

wasn't no wise dead. Then I made them think I
lost my sense. I was afraid to all me because

All them long months walking on the road back, he
kept me safe.
Speaker 11 (26:09):
The mountains.
Speaker 7 (26:09):
They danced at night, but Daniel held up his hands
and Peachey came.
Speaker 11 (26:15):
Along, Ben Double.
Speaker 7 (26:20):
I'd never let go of Daniel's hand, not Daniel's head,
but they gave me in the temple as a pleasant.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
It's with me now.
Speaker 11 (26:33):
Here in his bunt you knew Old Daniels him that
was a monoch once look at him now.
Speaker 5 (26:53):
Ah, oh, well, and.
Speaker 7 (27:01):
Now you have seen that we was really kings. And
beyond the way, your.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
Pardon, sir.
Speaker 15 (27:21):
H, I let him go. There was little else to do.
It was only ours away from his death.
Speaker 5 (27:43):
I sat there and stared at the bundle he had
left lying on my desk, Stared as the pale shafts
of dawn struck fired in the red beard. Stared at
the golden crown sitting too large and heavy upon the
wrinkled mummy, fighted head of Daniel, grabat the man who
(28:07):
would be king. Escape is produced and directed by William N.

We escape with Rugged Kipling and the two gentle scoundrels

Speaker 3 (00:56):
The man who would be key the.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Time some time before yesterday, the place the north of India,
The man who tells the story Rudyard Kipling.
Speaker 5 (01:09):
A one Saturday night, it was my unpleasant duty to
put the paper to bed alone. It was a pitchy,
black knight, as stifling as night can be in India
in June. It was very still, save for the ticking
of the clock above my desk, which seemed to shatter
the black heat of the night. As the hands crept
(01:31):
toward three a m. And then from the passage outside
my door, I heard voices.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Here, open the door, who's there? Who are you? He
don't remember us? Stand lety down?
Speaker 4 (01:50):
How could he forget?
Speaker 6 (01:51):
Avenus turned back at the jog foreboarder told the authorities
he was impersonated newspaper report as he did.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Wait that flaming red Beard and that bald head.
Speaker 7 (02:02):
Why for your Daniel Dravett and Peachey Carnahan the same. Well,
what do you want? If it's money, I haven't any.
If it's a fight, it's simply too beastly hot.
Speaker 8 (02:13):
You can rest to serve easy, sir, because we've come
asking for nought, accept some information.
Speaker 6 (02:18):
We've been all over this country and we've concluded that
India isn't big enough for such as Daniel and mid
So we're going away to be king things in our
own divine right.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
What I we shall be king?
Speaker 6 (02:31):
We've signed a solemn contract each day up the other.
I'm neither of us to take a look at the
liquor or women until we become king.
Speaker 5 (02:39):
Why, I've never heard of such a fantastic idea. But
what is it you want of me?
Speaker 8 (02:44):
Nought not to look at such maps of Kaffiristan as
you might have about maps of Kaffiisttan.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
That's where we decided to go.
Speaker 5 (02:51):
But don't you realize that not one single Englishman has
ever gone into the Kaffiristan mountains and lived to come
out again. If you're really mad enough to go there,
you're a good deal more likely to become dead men
than kings.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
We shall see.
Speaker 5 (03:03):
Anyway, I don't believe you had the slightest intention of
traveling a mile outside of Delhi.
Speaker 6 (03:08):
Then you should come down to the Serai marketplace in
the morning, down where the caravans leave for the north. Yes,
come down to the Seraye in the morning and see
then if we.
Speaker 9 (03:17):
Be liars, Oh, thieves, lover liars, the blessing of beer,
colibal O, bigs, dogs and Bertuz.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
You should not laugh at him.
Speaker 6 (03:40):
Shabe, the witless are under the protection.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Of a lad.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
Quite so, boy who is the fellow anyway?
Speaker 10 (03:45):
A mad pre Sabe who has arrived only this morning,
framishmir Ah, Yes, Si.
Speaker 8 (03:52):
Come to look at my camels loaded with toys to
please the eye of an amir.
Speaker 5 (03:57):
Oh here, now go about your business. I haven't any
use for toys.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
These are wondrous toys.
Speaker 8 (04:02):
Indeed, Sahib, fit for a king of Kafiristan.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
What good Lord Daniel Kravitz, quiet, come.
Speaker 6 (04:11):
Along, I have two camels just beyond the wall. Here.
The blessings of peer can on the gracious Sahib.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Who consents to look at the poor toys of a
priest from Ashmir Over this way. Where's Conahan? Here? We are?
Speaker 6 (04:25):
Permit me to present my servant? Has he a mere car?
Speaker 3 (04:29):
At your service? Good night?
Speaker 4 (04:30):
Well i'll be.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Did you like our disguises? Did they pass?
Speaker 5 (04:36):
If they fool this crowd in the Serai, they're probably
good enough to get you across the border, and good
enough to get you killed.
Speaker 8 (04:42):
Getting killed, there is no part of the contract pitching
me drawed up, although perhaps killing fits in with our
plans in a different sense. Feel around underneath the toys
they are in the camel bags.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
What go ahead, good lord?
Speaker 6 (04:56):
Rifle twenty brand new martiniz with ammunition.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
The match, and twenty good reasons to make your death certain.
Any patent of the hill tribes would kill his own
mother to get a rifle?
Speaker 11 (05:06):
Now?
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Who would harm a poor mad priest?
Speaker 6 (05:09):
Sahib Ella protects me.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Mad is right?
Speaker 6 (05:14):
Then, so was Lord Clive and Rhades and Buonaparte. Drive
out the camel's peachy. We've a long way to go
before we become kings.
Speaker 5 (05:21):
Why as I stood and listened to the camel bells
fade away in the distance, I wondered, wondered if it
might not be a glorious thing to go to Kafira
stand and be a king. Three years, passing India as
(05:48):
much as they pass in any other land. It grows hot,
then the rains come, and then the heat again. Some
colonel of the hill station puts down an uprising, and
you Viceroy comes out from London, and the paper dewally
records the death of a sultan in rajput Dana, and
the trees in the courtyard grow a few feet taller. Finally,
(06:12):
time in its circle turned up another night, much like
the one three years before. Once again I sat alone
in the office, listening to the clock and waiting for
some unimportant item to come over the wire from Europe.
It was long after midnight when my office door slowly opened.
(06:34):
I say, look here, you you might knock first.
Speaker 7 (06:36):
You know, no, good lord man, what's wrong? I You
don't know who I am?
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Do you? No?
Speaker 4 (06:52):
No?
Speaker 5 (06:52):
I haven't the faintest idea. But here you'd better sit down,
old fellow. You're in a bad way. Yes, thank you.
It's a whole year. I've been walking.
Speaker 12 (07:07):
Ah right here in this very office were saturday, you
setting right there and giving us the maps. You you've
been sitting there ever since three years?
Speaker 5 (07:27):
No, oh, no, why a man couldn't change that much
in three years? You're not Peachy con Henlet.
Speaker 7 (07:35):
Yes, I was King Kapberristan, Me and Daniel dragt real crown,
king's mews just as true as gospel.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
What in the name of heaven had they done to you,
Peachy peachey?
Speaker 7 (07:54):
I knew Peachy cahnon once he's a king. Where's a
real a golden crown on his heads up?
Speaker 11 (08:02):
He does?
Speaker 4 (08:05):
Hey?
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Is that?
Speaker 8 (08:08):
No?
Speaker 7 (08:08):
No, No, you're your Peachy Conahan. You must pull yourself together.
Speaker 11 (08:14):
Pull myself.
Speaker 7 (08:18):
You can't keep looking into my eyes. Then maybe everything
will go to pieces.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
All right?
Speaker 13 (08:27):
Now, tell me what happened, Peach. We left the caravan
the jag dollar. We'll struck off into the hills alone.
Go on which it was we trouble, Daniel and me.
First there wasn't no roads, and after a while no food.
Speaker 11 (08:48):
But there was always the drums. Sometimes there was close
and sometimes farther off, but most to the time we
could hear them somewhere.
Speaker 6 (09:05):
Well, yeah, no, it's no place to be starving up
with you, I'm hearing. It's no use, Daniels. What's got
into them? The poor beasts are done? In them, starved,
same as ourselves.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
They'll go no further.
Speaker 6 (09:21):
Then we'll go on without them.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
I've not come this far to die.
Speaker 6 (09:24):
On the side of a mountain.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
Wait, look, Dan, you over the edge of the rocks.
Oh men they are. There'll be a score of more
than one goes.
Speaker 6 (09:35):
Ahead of the rest, and nought but those and arrows.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Break out a pair of the rifles, peachey, it's now
that we start to become kings. Yeah, yeah, and some
cockage just too.
Speaker 8 (09:46):
Beating our peache I'll drop the stragger at the rear first,
and then we'll lay a few at their feet.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Now after the one in front.
Speaker 6 (09:53):
We may need him now, Daniel, look at them, I
flat on their blooming faces, helda it's Commandaloon, well and good,
and we'll go part way to meet him, Peachy, But
keep your rifle by you cant him, Daniel, he'd be
(10:15):
as fair as us with yellow hair.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
So he does.
Speaker 8 (10:19):
Part of the lost tribes. These people are he stopped
the lord Erry, Peachy, we're in luck.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
It's the old Afghan tongue. He speaks speak up, who
are you? And whence do you come? And the paint
turney home, you hot beach this bash guy. How many people?
The parson there are more villages in the hills, has fingers.
Speaker 6 (10:52):
And to here that Peachy is our kingdom made to order.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
And you you're going to take us to Vashka. Do
you understand?
Speaker 4 (11:02):
I understand the voice.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
He's a smooth one, Peachy. He knows a thing or two.
What's your name? That's too long? What you we call
him Peachy?
Speaker 6 (11:15):
He has a look about him of an old soldiering
friend of ours, Billy Fish.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
So he does. We bestow a new name on you.
From now on, you will be Billy Fish as you
come out, all right, put this on your drums.
Speaker 8 (11:32):
Tell them two kings have come out from the mountaintops,
two kings that speaking words of thunder.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
So the earth trembles.
Speaker 6 (11:41):
Tell them, two kings have come to Kafiristan. That you preachy,
damn you? Why be you setting here in the dark.
(12:02):
I've been thinking. A man has to stop and think sometimes,
have anything special, Danion?
Speaker 8 (12:08):
Look at em Peachey, look at their blinking camp fires,
a gleaming in the dark.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
Right the jewels in a crown.
Speaker 6 (12:14):
Aye, Daniel, You're done a fine job for sure. All
twenty three villages you joined together as one. Tis the
army you trained to be thanked for it. Two thousand
men with a fair knowledge of.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Bearing arms, some a bit green at it.
Speaker 6 (12:29):
Yet the wells now every man, jackwoman, and child.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
We own a body and soul.
Speaker 7 (12:35):
II.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
We're kings now, Daniel, not proper kings yet, but we
will be sooner than you think.
Speaker 6 (12:42):
Peachey, how's that Billy Fish told me something to day?
Speaker 3 (12:46):
That fear amaze me?
Speaker 6 (12:48):
These people know the craft, you mean, their freemasons, Daniel, Oh,
it ain't no wise possible.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
So help me.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Its gospel true. He give me the grip and everything.
It's old. The craft is.
Speaker 6 (13:01):
Older than the memory of man, and up here in
the hills they've been preserving it all these years. Why
some of the high priests know up through the fellow craft,
but they don't know the third degree, see it, Peachy.
They don't know the third degree, but we do.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Daniel, what is it you're fixing to do? Do?
Speaker 6 (13:19):
We are going to be proper kings. We're going to
get them going and coming.
Speaker 7 (13:23):
Now.
Speaker 8 (13:24):
I'm going to turn the whole country into one grand lodge,
raise some of the priests a third degree, and for
me I'll be the grand Master of Kafira Stan.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
But you ain't got the right, dour. We never been
officers in no lodge.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
Right.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
What's a king got to do with asking.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
For a right?
Speaker 6 (13:41):
Or I'm against it, Daniel. It's no good to go
falling around with the craft.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
You talk like an old woman. The thing will work,
I know it will.
Speaker 8 (13:49):
We'll make it a blooming ceremony, regular aprons with the
symbol and the marks, all of us, Peachey, the kings
of Kafira Stan.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
Everything is prepared, Master, and the priests and the people wait.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Well, they don't have to wait much longer.
Speaker 6 (14:15):
Billy, here now, Peachy, how do you like my apron?
Speaker 3 (14:18):
It's a wondrous light not pair damiel, made of white
herb in skin it is.
Speaker 6 (14:23):
And the Master's mark with emeralds studdied the mark.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
You know the meaning of the mark. Then I do
what's got into you, Billy, not but tis a thing
that's passing strange.
Speaker 6 (14:35):
Master Traine and Rubbish come along now ready, Peachy, right
with you, Daniel. Then out we go onto the temple steps.
We'll give them what for, knock their blinking eye down.
That's what we'll do, Love of Peachy, right, down on
their rub.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
But yelling there for it more? And I victim mer
thick Daniel, the promise one have come.
Speaker 11 (15:11):
Here?
Speaker 3 (15:11):
Know what's wrong with the priest? Billy? It looks like trouble, Daniel.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
Stand where you are, Master? They recognized the mark.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
That great stone in the floor. Why do they turn
it over?
Speaker 4 (15:23):
Wait?
Speaker 3 (15:28):
It's the same promise, speak of Billy, fish, what's the
meaning of it?
Speaker 4 (15:37):
See for yourself?
Speaker 6 (15:39):
Look, Daniel, carved on the back of the stone tis
the master's mark, all right, and the same as the
sign you wear.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
Only a few of the priests have known of the
hidden mark on the stone.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
What does it mean?
Speaker 4 (15:52):
The many who have doubted you were a god? Doubt
no longer.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
And you, Billy, what do you think?
Speaker 4 (16:00):
I muster? I think that now it is the time
for these.
Speaker 6 (16:06):
Daniel, golden crowns. Hi, how they glitter glit for the
brow of a king.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Tis what we came for here.
Speaker 6 (16:17):
Now put them on. We'll crown ourselves in our own right. Well, listen, Tom,
you know something peachy. We come here to be kings,
and that we are all right but blamed if we
ate a couple of brooming gods to boom with a.
Speaker 9 (16:34):
Million people bowing on their knees before us.
Speaker 7 (16:53):
Well enough, peachy. So it was God who became as
well as kings. But then what happened? What came of
Daniel drap drag I knew Daniel dragt once he's a king?
Now who Daniel is? Where's a golden crown?
Speaker 11 (17:13):
Conan?
Speaker 7 (17:14):
Who was with him?
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Pity?
Speaker 7 (17:16):
Try to pull yourself together outside? Now you became kings,
you and Daniel kings of Alkafinistan.
Speaker 11 (17:25):
He was a fine figure. Daniel was with his red head, wearing.
Speaker 7 (17:30):
That golden crown, kept himself aloof from the people, so
to speak. And when he walked up over the temple,
the fair crawled on their stomachs to worship.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
But what happened?
Speaker 7 (17:44):
Man happened? Well a figure? Mostly it was winter coming on.
The winds were started up and the clouds was blowing
down from the north. Oh, come blobistly, gole that winter wind?
Speaker 3 (18:09):
Hey, who's out there at you? Billy? Confounded?
Speaker 4 (18:14):

Speaker 3 (18:35):
Place it there?
Speaker 6 (18:38):
Hmm. Now you're a well favored wench.
Speaker 14 (18:43):
I do not understand.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
Why were you crawling on your knees.
Speaker 14 (18:48):
It's a fitting way to approach the god of Kafirta.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
What's your name?
Speaker 11 (18:53):
Girl?
Speaker 14 (18:55):
Marum danger marro?

Speaker 5 (19:14):

Speaker 3 (19:15):

Speaker 3 (19:25):

Speaker 6 (19:34):
Hm marroom eh, pichip pichip that you're calling me dariel,
Oh the food jer ain't good? Mark that wind outside

There'll be a little moving about a for spring. Right
(19:55):
you are Fiji. I've decided to take a wife, but
you can't. You know it, Daniel, we made a contract
that was till we was kings, well, kings. We've been
many months now, but it's no good. I tell you now.
I'm against against it. You was against using the craft too,
but look what it's done for us.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
But this is different.
Speaker 6 (20:15):
Billy Fish will tell you nold too, the same as
I do, Billyfish.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
Who's the king here?
Speaker 4 (20:20):

Speaker 8 (20:21):
The mine's made up. Three days from now, I shall
have me a wife. And you can put it on
the drums and tell every blighter out there in the
hills the Kingdom of Kafiristan is going to have a queen.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
What's keeping her pitchy? They should have brought her in
here half an hour ago.
Speaker 6 (20:57):
I don't know, Daniel, how about you, Billyfish.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
You put them up to stolen off?
Speaker 11 (21:02):
Deliver it like?
Speaker 4 (21:03):
Certain preparations must be made, Muster.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
She's across the court with some of the priests.
Speaker 6 (21:09):
Maybe they try to harpen her up a bit, Daniel.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
She thinks she's going to die, you know. Ah, Indeed,
why no, Master.
Speaker 4 (21:17):
It is against the laws of Heaven for a woman
to marry a god.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
I'm not a god.
Speaker 15 (21:22):
I'm a man. You know that man?
Speaker 3 (21:24):
Now, Billy, No, And I.
Speaker 10 (21:26):
Should not want to think so, Master, But either way
this can mean only trouble. I beg you to reconsider,
and I beg you to shut up, Billy. I'm through waiting.
I'm going over there, mustter please, we.
Speaker 6 (21:38):
Got to go with him, Billy, And I'm thinking it's
going to mean trouble. How many men can you defend?
Speaker 3 (21:45):
Depend on?
Speaker 4 (21:46):
No more than twenty with rifles. Most of my men
are in Bushquai, and what shall we do. We shall
have to make a run for it. I fear we
might be safe in Bushquai.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
Go now, you markling fools. Bring out the girl.
Speaker 8 (22:01):
Well that's better here, girl, this is no way for
a bride to Behave a smile now and give us
a kiss.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
Wenches, don't let them see the.
Speaker 5 (22:22):
Plus, what is this?

blustering heads.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
And that's what I'll do.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
Daniel, we'll be back, all right. How much of a billy?
Speaker 4 (23:01):
Only short way beyond this, rich Master? Well, so far,
