Would 21 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:52,719 you like some more coffee? Madam? No, thank you. Excuse me, 22 00:02:52,759 --> 00:03:00,240 I'll see who's at the door? I mean, Chester, I answered 23 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:06,000 the doorbell, madam. No one, madam. It's silly. Someone rang, 24 00:03:06,199 --> 00:03:07,599 someone rang, madam. But you see there's no one at the door, 25 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:12,039 no one at all. I suppose it could have been children playing pranks. 26 00:03:12,039 --> 00:03:15,759 Perhaps so, madam, and shut the door. Chester, yes, 27 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,800 manute at your feet on the doorstep. Oh wait, it seems to be 28 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,639 a package of some sort. Pick it up, yes, madame, don't 29 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:29,800 give it to me, sorry, Chester, but shut the door. Come 30 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:40,919 along in here, open that package, yes, madame. Well haven't you 31 00:03:40,919 --> 00:03:46,599 finished yet? In a moment? Yeah, what is it? You have 32 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:51,199 only to look, madam? What is it? Nothing important? Madam? 33 00:03:51,240 --> 00:04:06,479 Only a red rose. A red rose, mister templar, how do you 34 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:13,840 find the roster beef? Very easily? You make the jockey. I'm making 35 00:04:13,879 --> 00:04:17,000 a joke. I laugh, I laugh for missus match. She's a very 36 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,240 happy Who is missus? My two chee? That's my wife. Well, 37 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:24,600 I'm glad I make your wife happy. Perhaps when we get around to the 38 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:28,079 dessert, I can make your children happy too. And no, got the 39 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,319 children? Oh that's too bad. But perhaps by the time we get around 40 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:35,319 to the dessert. No, not enough time. However, mister templary, 41 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:41,319 you are maybe expected the lady I always hope. But what lady is the 42 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:46,079 one that she's over the corner table with a very beautiful lines go on a 43 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:50,079 table, Now that you mention it, you're quite right. She has lovely 44 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:54,680 eyes. But I wasn't expecting her, not until Christmas at any rate. 45 00:04:54,879 --> 00:04:58,800 She's a watch you all to the dinner. Perhaps there's something fascinating about the 46 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:02,079 back of my neck to be so, because now the ladyship gets up, 47 00:05:02,199 --> 00:05:05,720 and where do you think she got to this table? Yes, m well, 48 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:12,959 goodbye tony, oh I degree the goodbye your pardon to our Simon temper, 49 00:05:12,959 --> 00:05:15,680 aren't you yes, I am. May I sit down? Of course, 50 00:05:15,879 --> 00:05:19,639 I'm Laura Kane. How do you do? Would you like something to 51 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,040 drink? No, thank you? A drink wouldn't help, or perhaps I 52 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:27,160 could. I'm pretty desperate and very beautiful. Thank you, But you didn't 53 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,519 come to my table to hear me say that. No, mister Temper, 54 00:05:29,879 --> 00:05:32,879 you see I know about you. It's probably an exaggeration. You're the saint. 55 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,639 Yes, it is an exaggeration. And I need help, desperately help 56 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:44,120 about what mister champion look And I think for a couple of reasons, you'd 57 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:48,639 better specify what I am to look at At my shoulder, my left shoulders 58 00:05:48,759 --> 00:05:53,120 very pretty. There's a red rose pin doing. That's what I need help 59 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:57,480 about the rose And I know very little about flowers, except that they're beautiful 60 00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,399 and are very often sent to beautiful women. Someone who never sent his name, 61 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,600 by someone who sees to it that they're delivered secretly with no word at 62 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:09,680 night. That is rather unusual, frightens me. Or perhaps the roses is 63 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,639 sent by an admirer of yours, a very shy admiring I thought that at 64 00:06:13,639 --> 00:06:15,680 first, but not anymore, no matter how shy a man might be, 65 00:06:15,759 --> 00:06:19,560 It's not easy for anyone to sneak into a house night after night, unseen, 66 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:25,480 unheard. It can't be shyness. Well perhaps not takes cunning determination. 67 00:06:26,639 --> 00:06:30,759 There's more too. Yes, my first husband was killed a number of years 68 00:06:30,759 --> 00:06:34,439 ago. Police never found out who killed him. When his body was found, 69 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:46,079 mister Templer, there was a red rose pinned to his shoulder. Mister 70 00:06:46,199 --> 00:06:50,279 Templer. Yes, do you think I'm being hysterical about this? I mean, 71 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:54,959 am I attaching too much importance to something that might be harmless? I 72 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:59,879 don't know too many unknown factors? You married again, didn't you? Yes? 73 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,600 To Henry last year? Did he know about your first husband? Of 74 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:08,639 course? Your husband's at home, No, which isn't unusual. Oh, 75 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:12,720 he's away most of the time. He likes to travel, climb mountains and 76 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,839 things like that, and you. I don't like climbing mountains much. How 77 00:07:15,879 --> 00:07:20,319 about your husband? I don't like him much either, I see, do 78 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:25,680 you? He's very rich? I suppose in view of your sentiments, he'd 79 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,839 have to be. And he is away a lot. So there are servant 80 00:07:28,879 --> 00:07:31,360 well only Chester the butler. Does he know about the roses? He knows 81 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,759 I've been getting him. I don't think he knows about their connection with my 82 00:07:34,839 --> 00:07:39,720 first husband, which is just as well. I don't think he admires me, 83 00:07:39,879 --> 00:07:43,079 and then why do you keep him on? Henry insists. Henry's very 84 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:48,800 much attached to Chester, and Chester makes a good watchdown. This is where 85 00:07:48,839 --> 00:07:55,240 I live. It's a large house. You're being kind. It's not only 86 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:59,839 large, it's horrible along to Henry's family for hundreds and hundreds of years. 87 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:07,279 I sometimes get the feeling all of them are still living in it with us 88 00:08:07,279 --> 00:08:11,040 no lights in that. Chester likes to go to bed early, and he's 89 00:08:11,079 --> 00:08:16,639 careful about saving Henry's money as well as his reputation. He always goes about 90 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:20,240 turning lights off. Must make the house a very cheery plenty as it does 91 00:08:20,199 --> 00:08:28,040 cheery as a tomb. You know, I'm afraid to go in. Why 92 00:08:28,079 --> 00:08:31,440 not? Green Chester wouldn't like being waked. You asked me to come home 93 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:35,000 with you because you were afraid your unknown admirer, the man who's been sending 94 00:08:35,039 --> 00:08:39,240 you the roses, might be waiting for you. Well, I could go 95 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:48,080 in alone, and I'm being silly. The light switches to your right, 96 00:08:48,159 --> 00:08:54,600 Sam right, anyway, there's no one in the foyer. I'm counting my 97 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:58,559 blessings as they come along. Where are the roses? Usually left? Sometimes 98 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:03,360 on the door step, mostly though in a living room, on a table 99 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:09,919 there. And then suppose we try the living room. Yes, wait, 100 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:18,320 the lanch right near the door. I'll get it. There's nothing on the 101 00:09:18,399 --> 00:09:24,600 table, no roses, no roses, but Missus Kane on the couch the 102 00:09:24,639 --> 00:09:31,440 far corner. Flowers are there. They never stay where you are, Kane. 103 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:39,759 Please, miss please tell me it's all right. I'm afraid I can't. 104 00:09:39,799 --> 00:09:43,320 Missus Kane. Yes, yes, there's a knife buried in his chest. 105 00:09:43,759 --> 00:09:50,440 He's dead. Oh no, mister gentler, Yes I know, Missus 106 00:09:50,519 --> 00:10:09,039 Kane. Your husband is holding a red rose and it's the templer. All 107 00:10:09,159 --> 00:10:13,039 right, we want to be alone. I don't break this case. I'm 108 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,879 liable to wind up being alone in someplace out in Staten Island. Kane was 109 00:10:16,879 --> 00:10:20,960 a very rich boy. Very rich don't like to get murdered unlike the poor. 110 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,720 You mean the same difference, except around dumps like this. A CoP's 111 00:10:24,759 --> 00:10:28,159 got to be careful. I look, templar, we got your story in 112 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,279 the babes. Missus Kane is a very beautiful and need I remind you of 113 00:10:31,279 --> 00:10:37,000 a very wealthy woman. If she's a babe. We got your stories translated, 114 00:10:37,159 --> 00:10:39,120 that means we got a couple of pages of nothing. How do you 115 00:10:39,159 --> 00:10:43,440 happen to know that her first husband got himself not to off too? I 116 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,639 didn't happen to know, she told me. I suppose maybe that's a mark 117 00:10:46,639 --> 00:10:50,279 of a favor. But how do you like the Butler Chester? Well, 118 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,639 I don't know. I never met him. I mean as a suspect. 119 00:10:52,799 --> 00:10:58,360 I never liked Butler as a suspect, old fashioned. He lives here, 120 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,600 except he don't seem to be living here anymore. It makes sense to me 121 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:05,960 whatever it does to you. And the thing I'm worried about it is was 122 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:09,240 his disappearance a coincidence? Or would be because he stuck the knife and the 123 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:13,120 boss? I wouldn't know. Of course, if we figure him for the 124 00:11:13,159 --> 00:11:16,159 killing, it would make everybody very happy except Chester. Yeah, well, 125 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:20,000 I we'll find him. Well, Well, the more I have to do 126 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,279 around here, so I guess I'll pull the boys out, go back to 127 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:26,679 my pinochle game. You staying on for a while, You would think that 128 00:11:26,759 --> 00:11:30,960 would on these consolations, Lieutenant, you are a cad. If nobody ever 129 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,559 confused me with a gentleman anybody ever confused you with? To say, I 130 00:11:33,639 --> 00:11:39,679 think it's nice of you to even consider the possibility. A good night them? 131 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:46,759 All right, boys, I'm still here. It was nice for you 132 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:50,720 to stay, and the police were very nice. Why not get to bed 133 00:11:50,799 --> 00:11:54,240 now? There's nothing to be done tonight, Diamond, Do I really think 134 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:58,600 Chester killed my husband? Do you know? Chester would never have harmed Henry? 135 00:11:58,759 --> 00:12:01,600 And that leaves Chester with a job on his hands explaining his disappearance. 136 00:12:03,399 --> 00:12:09,240 That's his problem. I suppose. I am tired, Simla go but Laura, 137 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:13,840 yes, I don't think he'll show up. I'm not talking about Chester. 138 00:12:13,759 --> 00:12:18,759 He What do you mean? But you've been waiting for someone all evening. 139 00:12:18,919 --> 00:12:20,480 Every time the front door opened, even though the police were here, 140 00:12:20,519 --> 00:12:26,559 you grow tense. Expectant was fairly obvious, Laura, you're imagining things all 141 00:12:26,639 --> 00:12:33,279 right? Good night, good and thanks for every I didn't do anything I 142 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:37,600 wish I could have prevented. Try and get some sleep all phone in the 143 00:12:37,639 --> 00:12:46,720 morning. Thank you. So I'm a templing. Oh hello, Joe, 144 00:12:46,639 --> 00:12:50,759 the tenant left you on guard? Huh yeah, me, I'd be happier 145 00:12:50,879 --> 00:12:54,679 was I inside? Oh? The weather out? Here, not the lady 146 00:12:54,679 --> 00:13:00,159 in there. Hell, let's life and practically in the raw too. Good 147 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:11,879 night night, miss Temper, missus Temper, quick, get in the car, 148 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:16,240 do hurry? Oh all right, of course I might be walking into 149 00:13:16,279 --> 00:13:20,279 the lions den. Good heavens, do I look like a lion? No? 150 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:26,159 No, much more like a lamb. So I've been told better be 151 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:31,320 getting away from that redtule house. I never could stempyons deplorable. Yeah, 152 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:35,799 not to mention the policeman out front. Peez, that's not all right. 153 00:13:35,159 --> 00:13:39,480 And mister Temper, you're quite a detective on too, but not exactly a 154 00:13:39,519 --> 00:13:43,559 detective. But we do detect every once in a while, don't when I 155 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,600 can't help myself? Why? Well, you see, I drove up the 156 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:50,600 house and noticed Howards but hoards a policeman outside. I've been expecting to drop 157 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:54,759 in on Laura and and share a cup of tea, but the champagne would 158 00:13:54,759 --> 00:13:56,759 seem to be more in Laura's lion. Well, I don't mind a bit 159 00:13:56,759 --> 00:14:01,879 of why myself. No, however, dabbling, what I mean to say 160 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:05,679 is, with all those policemen around, I thought it hardly wise to visit, 161 00:14:05,879 --> 00:14:09,840 and you know, no, oh, I'm sorry I've been terribly rude. 162 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:15,919 My name's Gordon Ashington. My friends call me Gordie. Well, I'll 163 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:20,720 try to resist, but you haven't told me yet. Whatever has happened where 164 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:24,679 that dear Laura's of course, Well it's dear Henry's too, you know what 165 00:14:24,919 --> 00:14:30,600 his dear Laura's house. Oh well, yes, of course. But why 166 00:14:30,759 --> 00:14:35,440 think of nasty things, because they've become even nastier. What umbers are you 167 00:14:35,519 --> 00:14:39,480 trying to say? Dear Henry is dead. Well, it's most distressing, 168 00:14:39,559 --> 00:14:43,879 of course, But dear Henry is not only dead, he was murdered. 169 00:14:43,519 --> 00:14:48,440 Oh, Dear Laura shouldn't ever, Oh that is what makes you think Laura 170 00:14:48,559 --> 00:14:52,720 did. I didn't say. I do not think that Laura did anything of 171 00:14:52,799 --> 00:14:58,480 the thought. I I just remember that terribly important engagement. You will excuse 172 00:14:58,519 --> 00:15:00,919 me going too, if you can get a care right at the corner. 173 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:07,399 Oh, yes, of course, mister Ashington. Yea, that engagement you 174 00:15:07,519 --> 00:15:13,759 just remembered. I'd be very careful keeping it nonsense. It's a business engagement. 175 00:15:15,279 --> 00:15:16,720 Might be the making of me. Perhaps. On the other hand, 176 00:15:16,759 --> 00:15:35,919 it might be the death of you. Alexander Graham Bell you may rope hello, 177 00:15:37,679 --> 00:15:41,320 mister temper, mister Simon Templer. Are you satisfying a morbid curiosity or 178 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:46,000 addicted to practical chokes? I realize it's very late, ser, but I'm 179 00:15:46,159 --> 00:15:50,519 Chester, mister Chester, the butler. Yes, the police, I'm afraid 180 00:15:50,519 --> 00:15:54,679 are more interested in you than I am. Why not? I must think 181 00:15:54,679 --> 00:15:58,039 I murdered mister King? Did you? Of course? But then why didn't 182 00:15:58,039 --> 00:16:02,639 you stay at the house there? The murderer being I didn't see him. 183 00:16:02,679 --> 00:16:06,679 I heard mister Kane cry out, and then horrible sounds that I heard steps 184 00:16:06,679 --> 00:16:10,480 coming towards me, so you ran? Yes, Well why have you called 185 00:16:10,519 --> 00:16:12,639 me? Because I knew missus Kane had spoken to you about the roses. 186 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:17,320 How did you know? Man? She told me she was going to tell 187 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,039 you. That is what do you want me to do? Help me? 188 00:16:21,399 --> 00:16:23,000 You'd better come here, I can. I'm afraid of me. Where are 189 00:16:23,039 --> 00:16:27,240 you? Mister Kane had a small hunting lodge. That's where I am son 190 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:32,200 Chresley Road, just across the George Wahhington Bridge off high Windwell, I don't 191 00:16:32,279 --> 00:16:33,919 dare come into the city, mister Temple, I see, but got to 192 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:37,440 help me. I don't want to be murdered, all right? Then? 193 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:38,960 Now be out there. As soon as I can. Thank you, sir, 194 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:52,759 Please hurry, I'd like to be alive when you come the templer. 195 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:57,279 Yeah, so you explained everything, but I still don't seem right in the 196 00:16:57,279 --> 00:17:00,799 middle of the night. Nobody takes it taxes to Jon, but I have. 197 00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:07,559 Yeah, that's what bothers me. Also, it's my taxes, you 198 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:11,920 know something, the stock in the chain where that happens in New York too, 199 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,359 Yeah, but it's more like home there here. It don't make me 200 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:17,599 feel good. You're not supposed to feel good. We're on our way to 201 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:21,039 help a man whose life may be in danger. Oh no, I feel 202 00:17:21,079 --> 00:17:26,680 would look this Buckler Chester supposing he killed mister Kane himself. So from whom 203 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:30,960 would he be in dangerous? But he may not have killed Kane Louis, 204 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,480 so to let him stay in those choice No, No, he was in 205 00:17:33,559 --> 00:17:37,960 the house when Kane was murdered. Yeah, but he didn't see the killer. 206 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:41,480 If he's telling a proof, that's I know, Except the killer may 207 00:17:41,519 --> 00:17:55,519 not know that this here is the place, Yes, cabin set back when 208 00:17:55,559 --> 00:18:00,759 they roan. Come on, mister, I should have rung my elephants ju 209 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,559 if I had elephants. Dum that we're not having elephants. There could be 210 00:18:04,599 --> 00:18:07,960 a lot safer than what we're doing, right, I don't know. Don't 211 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,279 complain as the temple. Please the sounds you're liable to hear of from this 212 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,920 wilderness, and that sounds, I want to hear. The lights in the 213 00:18:15,079 --> 00:18:21,160 cabin man, maybe Chester want the Pennsylvania and it's the temple. It's a 214 00:18:21,279 --> 00:18:25,279 joke. See, there's a time of Pennsylvania called chest all right, maybe 215 00:18:25,279 --> 00:18:30,119 a populential and let you hear my feet chatter. You're gonna knock, of 216 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:45,640 course, Simon Temper Chester, Yeah, and Louis, and Louis coming please 217 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:49,960 quickly. I haven't say I've put the lights on in this room. It 218 00:18:51,079 --> 00:19:00,240 pass the road where you coming with me? Oh? I should have had 219 00:19:00,279 --> 00:19:02,519 the lights on here in the kitchen either, but I was afraid to wave. 220 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:04,599 And Darty, is anyone likely to suspect you may have come here? 221 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,480 I don't know. I can't even thank mister m you're sure you don't know 222 00:19:08,519 --> 00:19:11,359 who killed mister Kane. No, I don't. If I did, I 223 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:15,240 could have gone to the police and been safe, Miss Wester. Mister Kane 224 00:19:15,319 --> 00:19:18,400 was very welcome, he wasn't he Yes, sir, and missus Kane, 225 00:19:18,839 --> 00:19:22,920 Well, she was married to mister Kane, so I meant in her own 226 00:19:22,039 --> 00:19:26,759 right, I don't think so, Sir. Kane wasn't home very much at 227 00:19:26,759 --> 00:19:30,319 the time, was he, No, Sir? Why, well, he 228 00:19:30,559 --> 00:19:33,960 wasn't really happy in his manage, and he could have divorced his wife for 229 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:37,200 not mister Kane, Sir, he couldn't have endured the scandal. And Kane 230 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:41,079 Chester that name? You can't think of the killer's name? Could it possibly 231 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:48,400 be Gordon Ashington? I don't more. What does mister Ashington do besides to 232 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:52,240 have tea with missus Kane. He raises flowers, Sir. He has a 233 00:19:52,279 --> 00:19:56,000 conservatory out on Long Island, he said to sing among those flowers? Could 234 00:19:56,000 --> 00:20:00,920 there possibly be roses? Roses? Yes, you know what they're of course. 235 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:06,200 But then suppose you answer my question. I should imagine you raised roses, 236 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:11,000 sir Chester. Yes, sir, I'm having unkind thoughts about you. 237 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:12,599 What do you mean, mister Temper, I think, for example, that 238 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:18,240 you know who killed mister Kane. I think also that your original intention was 239 00:20:18,319 --> 00:20:22,720 to keep quiet about that knowledge until the case had been closed as unsolved. 240 00:20:22,599 --> 00:20:26,200 Why would I do a thing like that? It's an ugly word, Chester, 241 00:20:26,319 --> 00:20:29,359 but I'm afraid I don't have to use this blackmail for that. That's 242 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:33,000 ridiculous now for an innocent man. There's no explanation of your behavior that holds 243 00:20:33,079 --> 00:20:37,960 water. I was afraid mister Kane was nice today. The room in which 244 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:41,319 he died showed no signs of struggle. Therefore, you couldn't have heard the 245 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,720 murder. You must have seen it. No, sir, your story about 246 00:20:44,799 --> 00:20:48,559 fleeing from the series Footsteps is childish. According to your own story, you 247 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:52,400 had no way of knowing whose they were or even who had been killed. 248 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:56,920 An honest man in your circumstances would simply have run out into the street and 249 00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:02,440 yelled for help. You didn't. I who killed mister Kane? Ship, 250 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:07,160 I don't know. Would you prefer dying alongside the murderers and accessory after the 251 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:14,039 fact? Very will share. I did see you. Wait, it's that 252 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:21,839 window, Chester, You were near the lamp kind of offer. He didn't 253 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:23,319 turn it off. No bullet did it for him. I came through that 254 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:32,119 window. We can find the door and this confound in darkness. Yeah, 255 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:36,079 yeah, here it is. Oh, there goes a car, kill his 256 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:41,400 car. We're too late Louis. Right, let's go back in. There's 257 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:45,079 another lamp around. Wait, strike a match please, okay, mister Temples. 258 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:52,960 Yeah here it is, mister Temples. I know Louis. Two of 259 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:59,240 the bullets hit him. Oh I ain't gonna bustle no more. No, 260 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:03,240 he's second murder scene in two days. But in this one he played the 261 00:22:03,279 --> 00:22:17,039 title role and almost a Templer. And now Jersey Coups wasn't bad. You 262 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:18,720 know, if ID shut my eyes, I could almost have imagined there was 263 00:22:18,759 --> 00:22:23,160 New York Cups just goes to show you, to show you what the crossing 264 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:27,039 a river. Don't change your cup. I'm taking you home, No, 265 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:33,039 Louis, Missus Kane, if you don't mind, I mind. Look, 266 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:37,799 mister Templer. Maybe she's beautiful, but right now I could easy spine even 267 00:22:37,839 --> 00:22:41,279 Helena Troy, and from what I hear from a boy, she would be 268 00:22:41,279 --> 00:22:44,759 all time to nat it. You hear right? How do you know you 269 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:48,079 was around while she was still on the vine? Blue? Yeah, we're 270 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:55,960 passing Missus Kane house. Oh oh, there's a couple, so there is 271 00:22:57,319 --> 00:23:07,720 wait for me, Louis. Oh wait hey you Oh well, mister Template, 272 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:11,799 hello again, Joe like to see missus Kane. So what I I 273 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:15,599 mean at this hour? Does she turn invisible at fat an hour? Oh? 274 00:23:15,759 --> 00:23:18,160 Hello, I know she wants to see you, but you might try 275 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:22,000 asking her. Okay, you wait here frying? Well, that way I 276 00:23:22,039 --> 00:23:33,519 get to see you too. Hey, you know something I'm afraid I do. 277 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:37,039 She's gone, that's right, But how did I know I get? 278 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:42,000 She shouldn't a dot dot? I'm supposed to protect you. Hey, hey, 279 00:23:42,039 --> 00:23:45,519 mister template, where are you going? Believe it or not, Joe, 280 00:23:45,599 --> 00:24:00,920 I'm going to pick a few flowers. That would be the greenhouses over 281 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:06,160 there. Yeah, you interested in flowers? So they desclare a small house 282 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:10,039 where Gordon lives. I should think there is a light on it here, 283 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:18,519 and then let's see how quietly I can open a door, very quietly, 284 00:24:18,599 --> 00:24:25,680 but very bad murmans murders. You bull going right? Urber? Who's the 285 00:24:25,799 --> 00:24:30,920 pumplere? I know I can't give a card, but you are, Laura. 286 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:33,559 You start to house whatever. But the police did to stay find out 287 00:24:33,559 --> 00:24:37,079 you've been gallivanting around the country. pH They think when they find out you, 288 00:24:37,279 --> 00:24:41,799 then I was here. Only no Gordon, because when I got here, 289 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:45,039 I'll stop and touch the hood of your cars. This is hot right, 290 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:48,759 I've been rest last and gone off your drive A queer too, Gordon, 291 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:53,200 I wasn't go the composer, glad of what difference did it make? 292 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:57,640 Fair eyes reason? I haven't ust become lips because of the murderer, and 293 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:07,200 I have and not for the first time I knew about the first hugment and 294 00:25:07,319 --> 00:25:11,480 the roses I knew, idea. Won't thank you, Trusty Fanning, giving 295 00:25:11,559 --> 00:25:15,920 us Lara growing and helping you bear the burden of your great well for the 296 00:25:17,039 --> 00:25:22,119 idea, I should perhaps go very Oh no, tell me this is where 297 00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:26,480 we come into good evening? What's the devil do you mean by not knocking, 298 00:25:26,559 --> 00:25:30,079 intruding, eavesdropping? I'm a cat and you'll never hear me call you 299 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:34,680 God? It better let go of Laura, all right? Can be some 300 00:25:34,799 --> 00:25:37,720 heroics about him, is a matter of fact. I'm here merely to give 301 00:25:37,759 --> 00:25:42,119 you a message early from whom Chester time and the police have found him. 302 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:45,200 He's in their hands at the moment, and the police won't treat him badly. 303 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:48,240 Will this because he didn't kill Henry. Didn't kill Henry and the police 304 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:53,480 won't treat him badly. I see he's dead, poor old tap. You 305 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:59,599 lack conviction with dast I lack incas. After all, what is Chester to 306 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:03,559 me? More than you realize? Perhaps you see he was shot to death 307 00:26:03,599 --> 00:26:07,279 in front of Louis and me. He had been in the house when Henry 308 00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:11,960 Kane was murdered. To you, who the murderer? Wife? I still 309 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:17,279 like, you're certain before he died, Chester past that name onto me. 310 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:22,440 He did? He did? Is that why you're waving has gone about? 311 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,880 I just want to be sure, just and I don't care what touch to 312 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:30,240 say. If he told you I murdertained you he was lying that flying Gordon 313 00:26:30,319 --> 00:26:33,279 Kee put that gun away. No, Gordon, don't put the gun away, 314 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:37,799 but stop pointing it at me. You might try another direction until the 315 00:26:37,839 --> 00:26:45,160 police arrived. Other director who missus Janes? Of course you see she happens 316 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:55,200 to have killed both her husband and Chester oh Di oh Mann's sake, don't 317 00:26:55,319 --> 00:27:06,880 faint till later. So in the middle of the night, we're sitting in 318 00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:11,599 a restaurant. This adds up, It certainly does. Lara Caine interrupted me 319 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:15,119 earlier to night, and I never got to the dessert her and mister Temples. 320 00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:18,920 I know the cops are locked. Missus Kane up, which fortunately I 321 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:22,279 think it is a waste on a kind of how she looks. But look, 322 00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:26,359 I can't believe she killed her husband in the bucket. She did lose. 323 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,000 Yeah, I'd like to ask you how you know? Only I don't 324 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,400 want to stay Hickle breakfast. It's very simple, early man. Her motive 325 00:27:32,559 --> 00:27:36,480 is outvious. She did the trade Kane Mike divorce her, therefore she killed 326 00:27:36,519 --> 00:27:40,480 him and hoped to inherit his money. Hha. And the roses an attent 327 00:27:40,759 --> 00:27:45,720 and Robert a clever one to direct suspicion if Gordon. She even put on 328 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:49,440 an act with Chester about the roses ordinarily, if Chester hadn't decided Black meeting 329 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:53,759 her would be more fun. Heither testified about the roses routine and helped him 330 00:27:53,799 --> 00:27:57,039 the gordyad. Yeah yeah, but how now excuse me, but I think 331 00:27:57,039 --> 00:28:02,119 any minute the sun has gone to rise out of You know, whoever murdered 332 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:07,119 Chester had been ves blocking and knew that Chester hadn't been given the opportunity to 333 00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:11,319 tell us the murderer's name. Yet, when I suggested Chester had told him 334 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,599 how, Gordon got scared and started awaving a gun, so you knew he 335 00:28:14,759 --> 00:28:18,119 was innocent, and that left made this tank a lady whose love was not 336 00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:36,799 at all like a red red rose. You have been listening to another transcribe 337 00:28:36,799 --> 00:28:41,279 adventurer of the Saint, the robin hood of modern crime. Now Here is 338 00:28:41,319 --> 00:28:45,640 our starve and some Price. Ladies and gentlemen. All of us who live 339 00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:49,359 in the United States are aware of the material values of American life, our 340 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:56,079 factories and machines and luxuries. But there is another side to American life, 341 00:28:56,680 --> 00:29:02,359 a side made up of spiritual values. Our country was founded upon faith in 342 00:29:02,599 --> 00:29:07,680 God. In the Declaration of Independence, it states that men were endowed by 343 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:12,920 their creator with certain inalienable rights. Thus, religious faith is part of the 344 00:29:14,039 --> 00:29:21,160 very foundation of American democracy, and one of our most precious national heritages is 345 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:26,599 freedom of worship. Without faith, the family and the community become unstable. 346 00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:33,559 Without faith, the individual denies himself, deceives and guidance of religions. The 347 00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:40,880 doors of your churches and synagogues are open to you. The freedom to worship 348 00:29:41,039 --> 00:29:47,319 as you please is yours, and so America's religious organizations invite you to find 349 00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:52,799 yourself through faith and become to church. This week, missus Vincent Price inviting 350 00:29:52,839 --> 00:29:57,400 you to join us again next week at the same time for another exciting adventure 351 00:29:57,799 --> 00:30:26,640 of the Saint Nay.

This is NBC in the 363 00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:52,400 National Broadcasting comm This is Andrew J. Graham, author the web surface series 364 00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:56,440 OH and a Man and his Wife you're listening to the great detectives of old 365 00:31:56,480 --> 00:32:10,359 time radio. Welcome back. Well an interesting final episode. I actually like 366 00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:16,279 the confrontation with Chester the most. That was probably the best scene in this 367 00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:22,880 There's no mention made of Vincent Price's departure, and I doubt it'll be discussed 368 00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:29,119 in next week's show either. Usually the approach taking an old time radio is 369 00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:32,319 just here's your star, folks, pay no attention that we've just changed to. 370 00:32:32,559 --> 00:32:37,799 That is the one thing Vincent Price was known to have set about playing 371 00:32:37,839 --> 00:32:42,640 the Saint was that the hardest part was finding new ways to get conked on 372 00:32:42,759 --> 00:32:50,000 the head. He really provided a great and very memorable performance. He's a 373 00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:53,680 hard act to follow, and let's see how m Conway lives up to the 374 00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:59,799 challenge. There are people who actually prefer the Conway episodes more so, certainly 375 00:33:00,079 --> 00:33:04,839 be interesting to hear. Also, I do have to say that I like 376 00:33:05,119 --> 00:33:08,400 the jingle of then very nice and a very special gift. I guess to 377 00:33:08,519 --> 00:33:14,359 people who like nineteen fifties nostalgia, all right, well that we'll do it 378 00:33:14,519 --> 00:33:16,759 for today.
