Once again we bring you the thrilling adventures of the Shadow,

forces of evil. These dramatizations are designed to demonstrate forcibly
to old and young alike, that crime does not pay.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
The forces of law and order is in reality LaMonte Clanston,
wealthy young man about town. Years ago. In the Audient,
Clanston learned a strange and mysterious secret, the hypnotic power
to cloud men's minds so they cannot see him. Cranston's
friend and companion, the lovely Margot Lane, is the only
person who knows to whom the voice of the Invisible
(02:11):
Shadow belongs. Two Day's drama. Monkey Woman, missus Teresa Kimball
(02:34):
was that age, wealthy eccentric to whom the press always
referred to as the Monkey Woman.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Her mansion stood in.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
The woodlands with an earshot of the Lotus Park Zoological Gardens,
and she acquired her weird title by her extreme and
fanatical devotion to the monkey tribe.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
In all its shapes and sizes.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
This obsession brought her only pleasure until one windy night
in late April, she and her companion of years standing,
Miss Lotty, were closing the drapes against a sudden chill.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
After seven.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
You know she's late for dinner hour now, then, latte.
The girl's barely twenty dead.
Speaker 6 (03:14):
But the patience won't true patience.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
Indeed, I've little or no patience with her, and I
won't pretend I have.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Frankly, I think it's downright.
Speaker 6 (03:22):
Nonsense to having a French war off and living.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
In the house this way, do your lott I do
indeed know nothing in the.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
World about her background, and for my observations, it's none
too desire.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Oh, don't be a fool.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
Don't like her ideas. I tell you, he's got a
head stuff with nonsense. He's the young girl who enjoys life.
Speaker 6 (03:40):
A little personally, I like it.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
I'd scarcely want another groomy face around the hall.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
If you're referring to me, miss Raca, I'll have you
know that I'm proud of being respectable woman.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
With some sense.
Speaker 5 (03:50):
And listen to them out there.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Just listen and hear them well enough, only too well.
They've been carrying on that way for the past hour.
If you ask me, it's an outrage to have that
loose so close to a civilize.
Speaker 5 (04:03):
Oh really, Latte, you're a trifle ridiculous. You don't like collecting,
you resent the animal.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
I'm too sensible a person to waste affection.
Speaker 5 (04:12):
I'm oh, you're too much of an old maid to
tolerate any creature with an advestige of life.
Speaker 6 (04:17):
Any stuff and non fish. Listen very closely.
Speaker 5 (04:22):
You can hear my friends chattering tea jab where my
nurse is shreds.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
The monkeys are the worst of the lore.
Speaker 5 (04:28):
How can you merely? How can you, Lotte? When you
look at them so little and coming bitter and come?
Speaker 4 (04:37):
God?
Speaker 5 (04:38):
I've seen some over there as tall as a man,
with faces neither than something. How silly you are? The
big ones are like the little ones. They're just overgrown babies.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
What's that?
Speaker 6 (04:48):
What's just some at the door?
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Lotte?
Speaker 5 (04:51):
Probably collect who there?
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Man?
Speaker 5 (05:00):
Well, let's give him his skin, show him in.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Gave me missus kimber Man, Oh it's you.
Speaker 5 (05:07):
Well, this is a real pleasure.
Speaker 6 (05:09):
Last here is mister Palmerston.
Speaker 5 (05:11):
He's the head keeper in the lotus loose monkey house.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
How do you do?
Speaker 4 (05:14):
I do well enough, but.
Speaker 5 (05:16):
I wish you'd do better and keep that menagerie of
yours from yowling its head off.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
They are a little noisy this evening, but I'm afraid
they have.
Speaker 7 (05:22):
A good reason for it, Miss Lottie, what do you mean.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
There's no need for getting panicky. You can rely on
the park guards. They will take him a note time
we take who remembered Congo wave we got last winter.
The old man of Kalamando. He escaped about an hour
ago while we're cleaning his cage, questioned one of the
god's pretty badly.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
There's doubts that he lived.
Speaker 5 (05:40):
Well the liver.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Did you people do to upset his upset him?
Speaker 5 (05:44):
He's one of the very nicest monkeys.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Other than look man.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
We didn't know nothing to upset him.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
I've been around monkeys all my life and if you
ask me, he's the most dangerous hate that I was
swunk the trade. Oh, mister Poston House, didn't you silly?
Speaker 3 (05:57):
But I'll tell you this.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
If you're both better, keep in doors and see that
your doors are lost until that beast is back in camptable.
Speaker 5 (06:02):
Well, I appreciate your concern, mister Palmerston. I'm the last
person on as afraid of monkeys that you go not service.
I have a will there in my desk, made out
in savor of the monkeys of the world.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
True, absolutely true. Can you imagine such a thing?
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Hey, Stepper is all I can say. Well, I've got
to be on my way and my work's cut out
for me this night. I suggest you contact the Administration
office and you need help in a hurry.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
Oh, livn't we're way of missus Palmiston.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Don't be too sure, missus Jimmer.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
Now we're in Fortres. Second will be killed and all
of us, all of us.
Speaker 5 (06:37):
What you're doing with that house phone? Rackers, I'm calling
the gardener's cottage. So but I'm going to get Manders
to come in and protect and puts it down. Puts
it down. It's fine, but man, this is the gardener.
He will remain in the gardener's cottage where he belongs.
It's not allowed in the main house.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
I've given him and who had me?
Speaker 5 (06:54):
Colly doesn't like the man. I don't know why, but
I do not wish the poor girl. She's had a
hard enough life.
Speaker 6 (07:01):
She'll have a.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
Harder life of the old man of Talamando Walk.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
What, sir, quite? Who's there?
Speaker 3 (07:12):
What was that? Who it?
Speaker 5 (07:20):
I let myself in the front door.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
That's that noise?
Speaker 5 (07:23):
But it was a chair in the dark.
Speaker 6 (07:25):
I stumble over it.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
What's the matter? Nothing?
Speaker 5 (07:30):
Nothing at all, my dear. You're a little late on Joe.
Speaker 6 (07:33):
Oh, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 1 (07:35):

Speaker 6 (07:36):
There were so many pretty things I could not leave.
Speaker 5 (07:39):
Did miss Lane phone me.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
No.
Speaker 6 (07:42):
She said she was coming over this evening to talk
to me about the job.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
She would call if she could not.
Speaker 6 (07:48):
Meet where when she's coming.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
There was no phone call.
Speaker 5 (07:50):
For miss marble Lane was their office none. I know
then you'd better hurry upstairs and change, hadn't you. I
would like to, but I'm afraid the dinner will spoil.
You'll just torry alarm. We'll wait. You are so kind
to me, Missus Gilmans.
Speaker 4 (08:05):

Speaker 6 (08:08):

I hate to stop and unexpected it? What another?
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Is that just the zoo?
Speaker 6 (09:38):
It's there beyond that fringe of trees. And they were saying,
missus Timball's been awfully nice to the girl, but I
think she'd be better off of the job.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
And it's independence most people are.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
I have discovered.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
There's a doorbell no doorbell.
Speaker 6 (09:52):
That's a knocker, Well use it? Why not to hear?
Speaker 1 (09:59):

Speaker 3 (10:00):
Somebody's running to the door house, what's going on? And
I can wait at my horse looking bad and expect
a flying tackle? Who are you anyway? Excuse me? Wait

Speaker 4 (10:42):
Does anyone happened to her?
Speaker 5 (10:43):
Easelad's got the strangle the life all of what sort
of an eight proclude fanatic crisis on the lord's Probably because.
Speaker 7 (10:54):
I'm not.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
The love of Heaven to racy here she lies at
our feet.
Speaker 6 (10:58):
That doesn't proof case killed.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
I heard the sounds from below, not very killingside. Those
sounds could be imitated by a man, in my experience of.
Speaker 6 (11:09):
The human animals, would be more cruel than the lower orders.
Speaker 5 (11:12):
Grandstance man has to be pretty powerful to do a
job like me. I agree, I agree completely, Menders. What
mender's a gardener? He could have He's a strong as
any beast.
Speaker 6 (11:25):
Of every encounter.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
He wasn't even in the heart just the moment this
Manda's missus Timball's see a chap with Sandy Hare and
the daggered scar acrosses for him, and he was in
the house.
Speaker 5 (11:35):
We crossed his paths, we came in the diaristictive had
been a mentoring Maybe that's the reason he was leaving
in such a hurry.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
He didn't have a much sound a reason at all.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
Events, The matter quickly separated where are you going the library?
From the gardener's Cotta didn't demand the young mister Manders
pod in an immediate appearance. Hello Hello, He hears that
(12:07):
bringing our fairy.
Speaker 6 (12:08):
Couldn't miss it.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Hello hello.
Speaker 5 (12:12):
Probably can't work up the courage dances they were up down,
lead him back by the nose way, Now will you
look who's coming.
Speaker 6 (12:24):
Up the stairs?
Speaker 5 (12:25):
You personally made yourself scarce. I must say a listen
to me, cause less dead pristy little color stop of
the skild down?
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Was it? Je? Did you do no?
Speaker 5 (12:38):
Now? Don't get the idea that con fighten me. Now,
I'm not afraid of this wonderful.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
We'll return to the shadow in just a moment.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
A friend of mine just bought a house, not a
fancy one, but well built and sturdy. Did you ever
stop to think what would happen to a house like that?
If you look away the nails and nuts and boats, Naturally,
the whole thing would fall apart.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
All there would be left would.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Be a disorganized pile of material. Now that's exactly what
would happen to our whole society if our laws were
taken away. Because laws are the nails and nuts and
bolts that take the many elements of our complicated society
and hold them together in one grand, orderly structure. Without law,
our whole society, our whole lives would be chaotic and disorganized.
(13:46):
That's why we respect the law, not because it's enforced
by a policeman with a big stick, but because we
know that it's the law that protects us and keeps
us free. And those very laws were passed by no
one but our.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
The man who.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Grumbles about a law is grumbling about the expression of
the will of the majority. That's how our democracy works.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Now.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
If he honestly believes that a certain law is unfair, outdated,
it is his duty and privilege to work through our
democratic processes.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
To have the law amended or repealed.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
It's the wonderful binder that holds our society together in
good order and freedom for all.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
And now the shadow. When the sound of the violent
on the stairs reached the bedroom where Poloniphints strangled, Mati
was too terror stricken to move, but Lamant and Margot
dashed out into the hall.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
They saw nothing. At first, the landing was deserted, and then.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Margo saw something lying in a broken heap at the.
Speaker 7 (14:44):
Foot of the stairs.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Mount luck, missus kimble, missus kimble mon something terrible.
Speaker 6 (14:55):
Get a doctor, Get a dostria.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
It's too late for a doctor to help her, much
more him. She too gone in just like Collette was. No, no,
we got a mesty job on our hands, all right?
Speaker 6 (15:07):
Who isn't children?
Speaker 3 (15:11):
I don't know the same hand committed both murders of that,
I'm sure?
Speaker 6 (15:15):
Do you think it was this? Manda?
Speaker 5 (15:18):
Potably and just as possibly the ape.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Except for one rather contradiculous circumstance. What's that if you
notice the windows of Collett's room were all closed and locked,
which means that if the ape entered that room, he
ended it from within the house.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Seems hardly likely to be. Yeah, then Mander's looks like
the guilty mass. I haven't decided about that yet, Margaret,
I haven't decided about this.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
What fig time the shadow paid a call and our.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Muscle bound friends lest it where we'll find very probably
out there in the gardener's cottage.
Speaker 7 (16:08):
Hello, godness, cattage? Yeah, man is speaking? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (16:14):
What what do you mean? How when you must be nuts?
Speaker 1 (16:21):
You're kitten?
Speaker 3 (16:22):
Well you better be kidding. I'll fix your clock. Pretty,
that's why you hurt me? Why?
Speaker 1 (16:32):
What's that? Who is that laughing?
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Who is it?
Speaker 5 (16:39):
Who is it?
Speaker 1 (16:40):
It's the shuttle? Man is where are you? Come on?
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Let me look at you.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
You can't look at me and my arm's reach of you,
but you can see me.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
What goes on here?
Speaker 1 (16:51):
What do you want from me? A confession? Passion? Passion?
Or what?
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Murder?
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Murder?
Speaker 5 (16:58):
Huh?
Speaker 3 (17:00):
What the gag this is?
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Kimball didn't think it was much of a gag when
you broke her neck and threw it down the stairs.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
Yes, you have to wrong alley. Why should I knock
off the old lady.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
There's just the possibility that she left you a few
dollars in her will if she wanted to collect and
clear off your.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Way up voice. She didn't leave me anything.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Not At times she didn't make that much sense. What
do you mean?
Speaker 3 (17:22):
But the old crow is gonna leave all the money
to the monkeys?
Speaker 1 (17:25):
What guess what I said? He's gonna leave every suit
of the monkeys of the world you'll collect. Come along
and then, because I understand that she was just about
to make out a new will, flitting the dough between
the girl and the bat boon. And there's the motive.
You kill them both out of jealousy and hatred got
me wrong voice, whereas I was concerned, nothing was so
(17:45):
good for it comes from the big house here. He
won matters. I'll attend to whatever's wrong. Meanwhile, the shadow
will be watching you.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Come on, go screams. What happened?
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Flotty?
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Where she? What happened?
Speaker 1 (18:17):
She went down to the.
Speaker 6 (18:18):
Kitchen to get me some good.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
It's just about the switch on the life.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
When I heard a noise.
Speaker 6 (18:22):
Behind me, there you was, who love the old man
of Commando God is not to the faith of the security.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Evil out of Sainte.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
What did you do?
Speaker 4 (18:33):
Screamed heaven with suddenness, out of price?
Speaker 1 (18:36):
If he went out through the window, and what was John?
You definitely saw him probbous.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
It's time we got in touch with the sewer officials.
Is indeed the phone here on the second floor, isn't there?
Speaker 4 (18:45):
It's down the hall and library yesterday.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
It's an inside room, isn't it. No windows? I mean

in there and stand by for any close from the
two official Yes, and don't budget until we get back.
Where are you going there? Lene?

Speaker 4 (19:00):
Oh, you're not going out there?
Speaker 1 (19:01):
The dog wait, we have to love him, he says,
all the marks.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Of on the merchants. Not your first pneumonical jog, you know, Margot.
(19:27):
I like excitement, but if it's all the same to
the gods of adventure, I just as soon have a
humor abforment.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
No, here's a car, Margot, not way.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
What's the matter that son? What I I know it

Speaker 3 (21:09):
The second floor library is the only study in the house, Margot.
Speaker 6 (21:13):
This is where miss Lotty was waiting for her.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
The ape must have gotten to her first.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Here's the desk and the blueprints, blueprints of this house.
Look see the room's.

Look at this cousin Lotty's room, Kitt.
Speaker 5 (21:36):
Coup.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
I never knew Lotty was the members of them right now,
you know what, it's quite a surprise. Yes, here's another one.
Cast your eyes over there at the blue print of
the floor plan of the cellar.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Mm.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
You see here there's the whole section of.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
That extends underground for a hundred feet beyond the boundary of.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
The rear wall.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Yes, you're right, there is what do you guess is
down there?
Speaker 3 (21:58):
Couldn't say, Margot, the shadow is free to take a look.
Speaker 7 (22:02):

Speaker 3 (22:36):
Thomaston Lenny?
Speaker 1 (22:38):
What's so good about that?
Speaker 7 (22:40):
Why did you hate him?
Speaker 3 (22:42):
I didn't hate him. I loved him.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Huh, And I thought it was neutral.
Speaker 5 (22:48):
I didn't realize he was playing me just so he
could sneak into the main house to see correct told
me he loved me.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
He made me think, so h.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
You leave?
Speaker 3 (23:00):
If he loved you?
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Why not?
Speaker 4 (23:01):
If that's so impossible?
Speaker 6 (23:05):
Thought he was all mine, that all I needed was money.
Speaker 4 (23:08):
And he belonged to me forever.
Speaker 6 (23:11):
And when I told him over the household that I'd
engineered CALETI I knew right away he's been deceived.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
But he was my enemy, and that he'd get me
for killing her because she was a woman he loved.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
All right, say, okay, got the skits the hard way
and it's all done.
Speaker 6 (23:25):
Yeah you can take your money and go, Yeah, all
the cash.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
I have a thousand dollars Hm, don't strip yourself, Misslatter.
Don't trust you. Don't trust you. Take what's yours.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Promised, what's my?
Speaker 7 (23:43):
Misslatter, you ain't got to.
Speaker 6 (23:44):
Give yet, explain yourself more fully.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
I'm not unreasonable, lady, but it's the only living member
of the family. You'll come in for a nice couple
of million, and I think, considering my efforts with the apes,
I should come in for fifty percent split.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Too bad you said that, Thomas.
Speaker 6 (24:02):
However, you'd like to take a thousand dollars and go
as you're willing to overlook it?
Speaker 7 (24:06):
Do me no favors.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
I've taken a big chance here, Lottie. I've said every
murder with my own hand.
Speaker 4 (24:13):
Yes, and what did you actually do? And took the
ape out of the cage and steered him at gunpoint?
I could have done that too, I know it now.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
How are you doing the cage?
Speaker 4 (24:29):
The old man of fellow?
Speaker 2 (24:30):
I don't even.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
A bird.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
You'll find your gun in as hoster, sir, I'm the
deliberatey of removing it. Yes, you're in my hands. I
wouldn't try running. He could a tornado. You have a
kind of choice, Pomiston. You can rush me or wait
for the ape to rush you. It's an ugly choice
of bullet on a hub from my eerie lad.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Please why seven, I'll take that gun, misslham Ilan back,
get back, old man of Colamando back?
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Who will you?
Speaker 1 (25:17):
I am the shadow visible to your eyes, but here
to serve the ends of justice.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
Whatever? Why you saved my life?
Speaker 1 (25:23):
I have saved it Pomerston, only to accuse you of murder. Wow,
get don't that.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
I did nothing.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
I was only parent hord violence. The plan was yours,
ms lady. You've been content for years thinking that mister
RAC's ridiculous will bequeathing her money to the monkeys of
the world could easily be contested and broken when she died. However,
when coletappeared, was about to become a beneficiary of a
more reasonable will and testament. You knew you had to act.
(25:52):
Last You plotted the apes escape with Palmerston, and then,
with its aid, killed the girl and Teresa keeping it
house down here between his crimes.
Speaker 5 (26:02):
How did you know this?
Speaker 1 (26:03):
I discovered it with Manda's help. Mander's the man you
want to destroyed out of jealousy and because you were
afraid he'd expose your murder. If his beloved collect don't
have any time, you went back behind bars and stay
there permanently. I have an idea that's exactly what's going
(26:23):
to happen to your two friends, Nola Ma makes me.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
A little ill think of the cruelty man I mar
the old man of Kalamander, was never expressing cruelty. He
was not at all. He was expressing a kind of
primitive blove when he squeezed.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
The life out of his disens Really, really he loved
everything except the man with a gun. Whatever he loved,
he killed. That's love, early primitive love.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
Well, it's improved a little down the age, more than
a little, my lady, more than a little.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
When the mayor says Marilly and that warning, John, you
know there is something brewing. And you can bet too
that when Marilly answers that call, she won't bother to
keep a civil tongue in her head. Butch complicates things too,
because he can make up his mind whether to do
the Mayor's bidding or Morilli's. These lovable characters are yours

This is Paris, the City of Light, the city of music,
the most beautiful city in the world. Paris is the
(00:59):
mecca for everyone interested in art, culture and beauty. The
charm of this most.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Wonderful of Europe's great capitals.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Has been captured in a radio program presented for your
enjoyment every Friday at seven p m. Over most of
these same Mutual don Lee stations. Or Chevalier, radial favorite
and toast of the continent for his distinctive singing, is
the star of this Paris. His guests are other leading
French musicians, singers and instrumentalists, leaders in the world's a
(01:28):
women's fashion, design and style trans This is Paris sparkles
with the spear of the gay city. Here at Friday
at seven on your mutual don Lee station. And now
the Shadow, the Shadow waits.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
The forces of law and order is in reality LaMonte Clanston,
wealthy young man about town. Years ago. In the Audient,
Clanston learned a strange and mysterious secret, the hypnotic power
to cloud men's minds so they cannot see him. Cranston's
friend and companion, the lovely Margot Lane, is the only
person who knows to whom the voice of the Invisible
(02:11):
Shadow belongs. Two Day's drama. Monkey Woman, missus Teresa Kimball
(02:34):
was that age, wealthy eccentric to whom the press always
referred to as the Monkey Woman.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Her mansion stood in.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
The woodlands with an earshot of the Lotus Park Zoological Gardens,
and she acquired her weird title by her extreme and
fanatical devotion to the monkey tribe.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
In all its shapes and sizes.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
This obsession brought her only pleasure until one windy night
in late April, she and her companion of years standing,
Miss Lotty, were closing the drapes against a sudden chill.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
After seven.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
You know she's late for dinner hour now, then, latte.
The girl's barely twenty dead.
Speaker 6 (03:14):
But the patience won't true patience.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
Indeed, I've little or no patience with her, and I
won't pretend I have.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Frankly, I think it's downright.
Speaker 6 (03:22):
Nonsense to having a French war off and living.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
In the house this way, do your lott I do
indeed know nothing in the.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
World about her background, and for my observations, it's none
too desire.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Oh, don't be a fool.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
Don't like her ideas. I tell you, he's got a
head stuff with nonsense. He's the young girl who enjoys life.
Speaker 6 (03:40):
A little personally, I like it.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
I'd scarcely want another groomy face around the hall.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
If you're referring to me, miss Raca, I'll have you
know that I'm proud of being respectable woman.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
With some sense.
Speaker 5 (03:50):
And listen to them out there.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Just listen and hear them well enough, only too well.
They've been carrying on that way for the past hour.
If you ask me, it's an outrage to have that
loose so close to a civilize.
Speaker 5 (04:03):
Oh really, Latte, you're a trifle ridiculous. You don't like collecting,
you resent the animal.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
I'm too sensible a person to waste affection.
Speaker 5 (04:12):
I'm oh, you're too much of an old maid to
tolerate any creature with an advestige of life.
Speaker 6 (04:17):
Any stuff and non fish. Listen very closely.
Speaker 5 (04:22):
You can hear my friends chattering tea jab where my
nurse is shreds.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
The monkeys are the worst of the lore.
Speaker 5 (04:28):
How can you merely? How can you, Lotte? When you
look at them so little and coming bitter and come?
Speaker 4 (04:37):
God?
Speaker 5 (04:38):
I've seen some over there as tall as a man,
with faces neither than something. How silly you are? The
big ones are like the little ones. They're just overgrown babies.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
What's that?
Speaker 6 (04:48):
What's just some at the door?
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Lotte?
Speaker 5 (04:51):
Probably collect who there?
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Man?
Speaker 5 (05:00):
Well, let's give him his skin, show him in.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Gave me missus kimber Man, Oh it's you.
Speaker 5 (05:07):
Well, this is a real pleasure.
Speaker 6 (05:09):
Last here is mister Palmerston.
Speaker 5 (05:11):
He's the head keeper in the lotus loose monkey house.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
How do you do?
Speaker 4 (05:14):
I do well enough, but.
Speaker 5 (05:16):
I wish you'd do better and keep that menagerie of
yours from yowling its head off.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
They are a little noisy this evening, but I'm afraid
they have.
Speaker 7 (05:22):
A good reason for it, Miss Lottie, what do you mean.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
There's no need for getting panicky. You can rely on
the park guards. They will take him a note time
we take who remembered Congo wave we got last winter.
The old man of Kalamando. He escaped about an hour
ago while we're cleaning his cage, questioned one of the
god's pretty badly.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
There's doubts that he lived.
Speaker 5 (05:40):
Well the liver.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Did you people do to upset his upset him?
Speaker 5 (05:44):
He's one of the very nicest monkeys.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Other than look man.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
We didn't know nothing to upset him.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
I've been around monkeys all my life and if you
ask me, he's the most dangerous hate that I was
swunk the trade. Oh, mister Poston House, didn't you silly?
Speaker 3 (05:57):
But I'll tell you this.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
If you're both better, keep in doors and see that
your doors are lost until that beast is back in camptable.
Speaker 5 (06:02):
Well, I appreciate your concern, mister Palmerston. I'm the last
person on as afraid of monkeys that you go not service.
I have a will there in my desk, made out
in savor of the monkeys of the world.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
True, absolutely true. Can you imagine such a thing?
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Hey, Stepper is all I can say. Well, I've got
to be on my way and my work's cut out
for me this night. I suggest you contact the Administration
office and you need help in a hurry.
Speaker 5 (06:26):
Oh, livn't we're way of missus Palmiston.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Don't be too sure, missus Jimmer.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
Now we're in Fortres. Second will be killed and all
of us, all of us.
Speaker 5 (06:37):
What you're doing with that house phone? Rackers, I'm calling
the gardener's cottage. So but I'm going to get Manders
to come in and protect and puts it down. Puts
it down. It's fine, but man, this is the gardener.
He will remain in the gardener's cottage where he belongs.
It's not allowed in the main house.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
I've given him and who had me?
Speaker 5 (06:54):
Colly doesn't like the man. I don't know why, but
I do not wish the poor girl. She's had a
hard enough life.
Speaker 6 (07:01):
She'll have a.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
Harder life of the old man of Talamando Walk.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
What, sir, quite? Who's there?
Speaker 3 (07:12):
What was that? Who it?
Speaker 5 (07:20):
I let myself in the front door.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
That's that noise?
Speaker 5 (07:23):
But it was a chair in the dark.
Speaker 6 (07:25):
I stumble over it.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
What's the matter? Nothing?
Speaker 5 (07:30):
Nothing at all, my dear. You're a little late on Joe.
Speaker 6 (07:33):
Oh, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
I was shopping.
Speaker 6 (07:36):
There were so many pretty things I could not leave.
Speaker 5 (07:39):
Did miss Lane phone me.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
No.
Speaker 6 (07:42):
She said she was coming over this evening to talk
to me about the job.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
She would call if she could not.
Speaker 6 (07:48):
Meet where when she's coming.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
There was no phone call.
Speaker 5 (07:50):
For miss marble Lane was their office none. I know
then you'd better hurry upstairs and change, hadn't you. I
would like to, but I'm afraid the dinner will spoil.
You'll just torry alarm. We'll wait. You are so kind
to me, Missus Gilmans.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
Just get a move bad.
Speaker 6 (08:08):
I'm so afraid you're going to tell her about this clip.
And why shouldn't I have?
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Cause she's young and imaginative.
Speaker 6 (08:16):
Love her, she doesn't understand monkey is the way I do.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Love them, nor mister Kimbols of timlve.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
One but.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Love wella.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
Dulling this very good threat my dad? Sorry, I wait, m.
Speaker 5 (09:28):
Here we are margaopelet remember us coming over?
Speaker 1 (09:32):
I hate to stop and unexpected it? What another?
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Is that just the zoo?
Speaker 6 (09:38):
It's there beyond that fringe of trees. And they were saying,
missus Timball's been awfully nice to the girl, but I
think she'd be better off of the job.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
And it's independence most people are.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
I have discovered.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
There's a doorbell no doorbell.
Speaker 6 (09:52):
That's a knocker, Well use it? Why not to hear?
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Somebody's me to the door.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Somebody's running to the door house, what's going on? And
I can wait at my horse looking bad and expect
a flying tackle? Who are you anyway? Excuse me? Wait
a minute?
Speaker 1 (10:10):
What's the rush? I asked you a question?
Speaker 6 (10:11):
Yes, who are what?
Speaker 3 (10:12):
The young lady happens to be a friend of the
family thought, Why funny? I think you somehow for a
second story? Man, maybe I'm a very good judge of character.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Who come with us?
Speaker 7 (10:22):
And I'm better?
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Wait, God, strength of an animal?
Speaker 6 (10:28):
That guy pers he's robbed a house.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Come on, we'll see.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Let's just skimble.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
What happened?
Speaker 4 (10:42):
Does anyone happened to her?
Speaker 5 (10:43):
Easelad's got the strangle the life all of what sort
of an eight proclude fanatic crisis on the lord's Probably because.
Speaker 7 (10:54):
I'm not.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
The love of Heaven to racy here she lies at
our feet.
Speaker 6 (10:58):
That doesn't proof case killed.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
I heard the sounds from below, not very killingside. Those
sounds could be imitated by a man, in my experience of.
Speaker 6 (11:09):
The human animals, would be more cruel than the lower orders.
Speaker 5 (11:12):
Grandstance man has to be pretty powerful to do a
job like me. I agree, I agree completely, Menders. What
mender's a gardener? He could have He's a strong as
any beast.
Speaker 6 (11:25):
Of every encounter.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
He wasn't even in the heart just the moment this
Manda's missus Timball's see a chap with Sandy Hare and
the daggered scar acrosses for him, and he was in
the house.
Speaker 5 (11:35):
We crossed his paths, we came in the diaristictive had
been a mentoring Maybe that's the reason he was leaving
in such a hurry.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
He didn't have a much sound a reason at all.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
Events, The matter quickly separated where are you going the library?
From the gardener's Cotta didn't demand the young mister Manders
pod in an immediate appearance. Hello Hello, He hears that
(12:07):
bringing our fairy.
Speaker 6 (12:08):
Couldn't miss it.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Hello hello.
Speaker 5 (12:12):
Probably can't work up the courage dances they were up down,
lead him back by the nose way, Now will you
look who's coming.
Speaker 6 (12:24):
Up the stairs?
Speaker 5 (12:25):
You personally made yourself scarce. I must say a listen
to me, cause less dead pristy little color stop of
the skild down?
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Was it? Je? Did you do no?
Speaker 5 (12:38):
Now? Don't get the idea that con fighten me. Now,
I'm not afraid of this wonderful.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
We'll return to the shadow in just a moment.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
A friend of mine just bought a house, not a
fancy one, but well built and sturdy. Did you ever
stop to think what would happen to a house like that?
If you look away the nails and nuts and boats, Naturally,
the whole thing would fall apart.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
All there would be left would.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Be a disorganized pile of material. Now that's exactly what
would happen to our whole society if our laws were
taken away. Because laws are the nails and nuts and
bolts that take the many elements of our complicated society
and hold them together in one grand, orderly structure. Without law,
our whole society, our whole lives would be chaotic and disorganized.
(13:46):
That's why we respect the law, not because it's enforced
by a policeman with a big stick, but because we
know that it's the law that protects us and keeps
us free. And those very laws were passed by no
one but our.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
The man who.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Grumbles about a law is grumbling about the expression of
the will of the majority. That's how our democracy works.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Now.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
If he honestly believes that a certain law is unfair, outdated,
it is his duty and privilege to work through our
democratic processes.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
To have the law amended or repealed.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
It's the wonderful binder that holds our society together in
good order and freedom for all.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
And now the shadow. When the sound of the violent
on the stairs reached the bedroom where Poloniphints strangled, Mati
was too terror stricken to move, but Lamant and Margot
dashed out into the hall.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
They saw nothing. At first, the landing was deserted, and then.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Margo saw something lying in a broken heap at the.
Speaker 7 (14:44):
Foot of the stairs.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Mount luck, missus kimble, missus kimble mon something terrible.
Speaker 6 (14:55):
Get a doctor, Get a dostria.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
It's too late for a doctor to help her, much
more him. She too gone in just like Collette was. No, no,
we got a mesty job on our hands, all right?
Speaker 6 (15:07):
Who isn't children?
Speaker 3 (15:11):
I don't know the same hand committed both murders of that,
I'm sure?
Speaker 6 (15:15):
Do you think it was this? Manda?
Speaker 5 (15:18):
Potably and just as possibly the ape.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Except for one rather contradiculous circumstance. What's that if you
notice the windows of Collett's room were all closed and locked,
which means that if the ape entered that room, he
ended it from within the house.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Seems hardly likely to be. Yeah, then Mander's looks like
the guilty mass. I haven't decided about that yet, Margaret,
I haven't decided about this.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
What fig time the shadow paid a call and our.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Muscle bound friends lest it where we'll find very probably
out there in the gardener's cottage.
Speaker 7 (16:08):
Hello, godness, cattage? Yeah, man is speaking? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (16:14):
What what do you mean? How when you must be nuts?
Speaker 1 (16:21):
You're kitten?
Speaker 3 (16:22):
Well you better be kidding. I'll fix your clock. Pretty,
that's why you hurt me? Why?
Speaker 1 (16:32):
What's that? Who is that laughing?
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Who is it?
Speaker 5 (16:39):
Who is it?
Speaker 1 (16:40):
It's the shuttle? Man is where are you? Come on?
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Let me look at you.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
You can't look at me and my arm's reach of you,
but you can see me.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
What goes on here?
Speaker 1 (16:51):
What do you want from me? A confession? Passion? Passion?
Or what?
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Murder?
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Murder?
Speaker 5 (16:58):
Huh?
Speaker 3 (17:00):
What the gag this is?
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Kimball didn't think it was much of a gag when
you broke her neck and threw it down the stairs.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
Yes, you have to wrong alley. Why should I knock
off the old lady.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
There's just the possibility that she left you a few
dollars in her will if she wanted to collect and
clear off your.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Way up voice. She didn't leave me anything.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Not At times she didn't make that much sense. What
do you mean?
Speaker 3 (17:22):
But the old crow is gonna leave all the money
to the monkeys?
Speaker 1 (17:25):
What guess what I said? He's gonna leave every suit
of the monkeys of the world you'll collect. Come along
and then, because I understand that she was just about
to make out a new will, flitting the dough between
the girl and the bat boon. And there's the motive.
You kill them both out of jealousy and hatred got
me wrong voice, whereas I was concerned, nothing was so
(17:45):
good for it comes from the big house here. He
won matters. I'll attend to whatever's wrong. Meanwhile, the shadow
will be watching you.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Come on, go screams. What happened?
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Flotty?
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Where she? What happened?
Speaker 1 (18:17):
She went down to the.
Speaker 6 (18:18):
Kitchen to get me some good.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
It's just about the switch on the life.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
When I heard a noise.
Speaker 6 (18:22):
Behind me, there you was, who love the old man
of Commando God is not to the faith of the security.
Speaker 1 (18:30):

Of on the merchants. Not your first pneumonical jog, you know, Margot.
(19:27):

the gods of adventure, I just as soon have a
humor abforment.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
No, here's a car, Margot, not way.
Speaker 3 (19:41):

See there's his shadow.

Speaker 7 (20:41):
Yes, studdy dead.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
The second floor library is the only study in the house, Margot.
Speaker 6 (21:13):
This is where miss Lotty was waiting for her.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
The ape must have gotten to her first.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Here's the desk and the blueprints, blueprints of this house.
Look see the room's.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Drawn mark dining room, second floor library to racist room.
Look at this cousin Lotty's room, Kitt.
Speaker 5 (21:36):
Coup.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
I never knew Lotty was the members of them right now,
you know what, it's quite a surprise. Yes, here's another one.
Cast your eyes over there at the blue print of
the floor plan of the cellar.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Mm.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
You see here there's the whole section of.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
That extends underground for a hundred feet beyond the boundary of.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
The rear wall.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Yes, you're right, there is what do you guess is
down there?
Speaker 3 (21:58):
Couldn't say, Margot, the shadow is free to take a look.
Speaker 7 (22:02):
M I don't get it, miss Lottie. Why did you
(22:28):
add mandas to the last?
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Haven't there been enough murder.
Speaker 7 (22:31):
Of the suture?
Speaker 5 (22:32):
He died hard, did me?
Speaker 4 (22:34):
The bloody business, wasn't it?
Speaker 3 (22:36):
Thomaston Lenny?
Speaker 1 (22:38):
What's so good about that?
Speaker 7 (22:40):
Why did you hate him?
Speaker 3 (22:42):
I didn't hate him. I loved him.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Huh, And I thought it was neutral.
Speaker 5 (22:48):
I didn't realize he was playing me just so he
could sneak into the main house to see correct told
me he loved me.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
He made me think, so h.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
You leave?
Speaker 3 (23:00):
If he loved you?
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Why not?
Speaker 4 (23:01):
If that's so impossible?
Speaker 6 (23:05):
Thought he was all mine, that all I needed was money.
Speaker 4 (23:08):
And he belonged to me forever.
Speaker 6 (23:11):
And when I told him over the household that I'd
engineered CALETI I knew right away he's been deceived.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
But he was my enemy, and that he'd get me
for killing her because she was a woman he loved.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
All right, say, okay, got the skits the hard way
and it's all done.
Speaker 6 (23:25):
Yeah you can take your money and go, Yeah, all
the cash.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
I have a thousand dollars Hm, don't strip yourself, Misslatter.
Don't trust you. Don't trust you. Take what's yours.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Promised, what's my?
Speaker 7 (23:43):
Misslatter, you ain't got to.
Speaker 6 (23:44):
Give yet, explain yourself more fully.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
I'm not unreasonable, lady, but it's the only living member
of the family. You'll come in for a nice couple
of million, and I think, considering my efforts with the apes,
I should come in for fifty percent split.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Too bad you said that, Thomas.
Speaker 6 (24:02):
However, you'd like to take a thousand dollars and go
as you're willing to overlook it?
Speaker 7 (24:06):
Do me no favors.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
I've taken a big chance here, Lottie. I've said every
murder with my own hand.
Speaker 4 (24:13):
Yes, and what did you actually do? And took the
ape out of the cage and steered him at gunpoint?
I could have done that too, I know it now.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
How are you doing the cage?
Speaker 4 (24:29):
The old man of fellow?
Speaker 2 (24:30):
I don't even.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
A bird.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
You'll find your gun in as hoster, sir, I'm the
deliberatey of removing it. Yes, you're in my hands. I
wouldn't try running. He could a tornado. You have a
kind of choice, Pomiston. You can rush me or wait
for the ape to rush you. It's an ugly choice
of bullet on a hub from my eerie lad.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Please why seven, I'll take that gun, misslham Ilan back,
get back, old man of Colamando back?
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Who will you?
Speaker 1 (25:17):
I am the shadow visible to your eyes, but here
to serve the ends of justice.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
Whatever? Why you saved my life?
Speaker 1 (25:23):
I have saved it Pomerston, only to accuse you of murder. Wow,
get don't that.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
I did nothing.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
I was only parent hord violence. The plan was yours,
ms lady. You've been content for years thinking that mister
RAC's ridiculous will bequeathing her money to the monkeys of
the world could easily be contested and broken when she died. However,
when coletappeared, was about to become a beneficiary of a
more reasonable will and testament. You knew you had to act.
(25:52):
Last You plotted the apes escape with Palmerston, and then,
with its aid, killed the girl and Teresa keeping it
house down here between his crimes.
Speaker 5 (26:02):
How did you know this?
Speaker 1 (26:03):
I discovered it with Manda's help. Mander's the man you
want to destroyed out of jealousy and because you were
afraid he'd expose your murder. If his beloved collect don't
have any time, you went back behind bars and stay
there permanently. I have an idea that's exactly what's going
(26:23):
to happen to your two friends, Nola Ma makes me.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
A little ill think of the cruelty man I mar
the old man of Kalamander, was never expressing cruelty. He
was not at all. He was expressing a kind of
primitive blove when he squeezed.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
The life out of his disens Really, really he loved
everything except the man with a gun. Whatever he loved,
he killed. That's love, early primitive love.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
Well, it's improved a little down the age, more than
a little, my lady, more than a little.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
When the mayor says Marilly and that warning, John, you
know there is something brewing. And you can bet too
that when Marilly answers that call, she won't bother to
keep a civil tongue in her head. Butch complicates things too,
because he can make up his mind whether to do
the Mayor's bidding or Morilli's. These lovable characters are yours

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
