1 00:00:01,879 --> 00:00:26,320 The CBS Radio Mystery Theater presents, come in welcome. I'm e. G. 2 00:00:26,559 --> 00:00:32,159 Marshal. When our deep plots should fall, it should learn us. 3 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:37,079 There's a divinity that shapes our ends. Rough hew them how we will. 4 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:43,359 What is Hamlet saying? More or less, don't mess with fate. Regardless 5 00:00:43,399 --> 00:00:49,159 how you need your life, Fate controls your destiny. We're all anxious to 6 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,600 get to the bottom of this sun. So if you want to hang round 7 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:58,560 the police station and watch us work leisure or thank you sir. You see 8 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:02,880 I'd like to learn to be a detective. Said as it is, this 9 00:01:03,159 --> 00:01:07,519 death of your father, there's a good case to begin on. Take my 10 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:12,120 word for it. I can't you see, I can't believe the way he 11 00:01:12,159 --> 00:01:25,439 was killed was an accident. To me, it was murder. Our mystery 12 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:30,480 drama The Beast was adapted from a story by Edith Horton, especially for Mystery 13 00:01:30,519 --> 00:01:46,680 Theater by James Aggot Jr. And stars Norman Rose and Robert Dryden. There 14 00:01:46,719 --> 00:01:49,400 are those who marry for love. There are those who marry for money. 15 00:01:51,239 --> 00:01:57,439 Among the latter, love is generally one sided. Nevertheless, the Duke or 16 00:01:57,519 --> 00:02:02,280 deceived, believed that for companion Chip and a measure of fidelity. No price 17 00:02:02,799 --> 00:02:07,879 is too high to pay. Such was the case of missus Henry Trevor until 18 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:14,680 three years ago, a widow now remarried to a strange and selfish spouse. 19 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:19,520 Henry, aren't we going a little too fast? You're doing seventy seventy isn't 20 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:23,280 speeding if you've got control of the wheel. And dearest wife, if there's 21 00:02:23,319 --> 00:02:25,280 anyone who knows how to handle a car, it's yours, truly. But 22 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:29,199 it's so foggy you can hardly see in front of you. I don't need 23 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,039 to We make this chip up from New York every weekend. I know the 24 00:02:32,199 --> 00:02:37,240 road backwards. Besides, hoop, an idiot will be out of my highway 25 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,199 this time of the night. Henry. Can we look out that there's a 26 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:46,680 man walking? We've hit him? Nay, Henry, what are you doing? 27 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:51,560 You've got to stop before. I didn't hit anything so crazy? We 28 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:57,039 hit that land turn around for Heaven's safe. Calm down. Don't get yourself 29 00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,400 all excited. Didn't you feel the bulk when we hit him? Henry? 30 00:03:00,479 --> 00:03:04,759 Please stop the car and go back. Only a rock on the road. 31 00:03:04,879 --> 00:03:08,360 Now close your eyes and go to sleep. I'm tired. I don't want 32 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:20,039 to get to the Cape as soon as I can. Hello, Wayne, 33 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,719 is that you? Yes? When you're down my number, you always get 34 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:30,759 me or what's up? Henry asked me to call you and ask if you'd 35 00:03:30,759 --> 00:03:32,919 like to come up to the Cape for the weekend. Yes, weekend, 36 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:38,400 You've got to come, Wayne, sound mighty serious, laugh a little mina. 37 00:03:38,639 --> 00:03:44,240 It's no laughing matter. I mean it. Please come. I'll tell 38 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,639 you what. I'll be in Boston Saturday, and I'll come up Sunday and 39 00:03:46,719 --> 00:03:52,280 stay over. Okay, Yes, anything would be better than nothing. Father. 40 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:57,000 You know how I feel about you. We've been friends for a long 41 00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,759 time. But I cannot come before Sunday. It'll have to do. I 42 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:05,960 guess I can hang on till then. I am Wayne terribly upset. I'm 43 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:10,400 just about at the end of my rope with Henry. Don't fail me. 44 00:04:10,759 --> 00:04:15,439 Be here Sunday. I will and try to bear up my hand. Remember, 45 00:04:16,079 --> 00:04:20,839 I know, Wayne, That's why I'm so miserable. Wow, I 46 00:04:20,959 --> 00:04:29,439 like that. You're fine. It's fine. I'll tell Henry bye. Wayne. 47 00:04:30,639 --> 00:04:34,519 You'll tell Henry what Martha dear? Oh that was Wayne. He said 48 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:38,959 to tell you he'd be here Sunday Sunday. He couldn't come before. I 49 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:43,000 guess not. He said he had to be Emboston on business Saturday. That's 50 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,279 my own fault to put my faith in anybody else. What are you talking 51 00:04:46,319 --> 00:04:49,639 about? Wayne's a very good friend. I go pick an aggressive lawyer, 52 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:51,800 and the first thing, you know, he hasn't got the time for me. 53 00:04:53,199 --> 00:04:57,199 That's ridiculous. He works seven days a week for a lot of people, 54 00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:01,439 not only me. Are you listening another one of those sudden coast storms. 55 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,040 My new speed cruiser is going to be our eye. Isn't it anchored 56 00:05:05,079 --> 00:05:08,879 off the boathouse? Yeah? But if the seas get rough, it could 57 00:05:08,879 --> 00:05:11,800 break loose. You know what, I think. I'll put on my oilskin 58 00:05:11,879 --> 00:05:15,000 and go down to the boathouse or make sure, Oh I'll go. I'm 59 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,480 expecting the grocery boy with the food for the party. Poor boy, he'll 60 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:25,000 be so wait a minute, what party, Henry? How can you be 61 00:05:25,079 --> 00:05:29,399 so forgetful? We asked the Reverend Charles for Sunday dinner. I'll be back 62 00:05:29,439 --> 00:05:33,519 in a moment. Hello, Truro Marina. Yeah, can I speak to 63 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:38,920 Captain James? Yeah? Sure, I'll hang on Henry. Henry could I 64 00:05:38,959 --> 00:05:41,000 speak to you for a moment. Hold a second, Mark, I'm trying 65 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,079 to get Captain James at the marina. Maybe you can give me an idea 66 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,000 how long the storm's gonna last. Henry, Amy, it's the police. 67 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,920 You'd better hang up and go to the door. The police to see me. 68 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:55,839 Martha, did you tell him that I was here? Well, not 69 00:05:55,959 --> 00:05:59,439 exactly. I think I'm going to get you, but I don't know how 70 00:05:59,519 --> 00:06:02,000 long the storm's gonna last this afternoon. I better shoot over to the marina 71 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:06,120 and see Captain Henry. They're outside. I cannot help that. I can't 72 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:11,199 be bothered with every request for the Police Athletic League or the Policeman's ball. 73 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,720 I got too much to do. Henry. It's Rufus Clay, the chief 74 00:06:14,879 --> 00:06:17,839 himself, and he's not selling any raffle tickets. Will you tell him that 75 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,720 I'm not here. I'm going up the back way. Rufus wants to know 76 00:06:21,879 --> 00:06:27,319 if we know anything about a man who has run over late last night on 77 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:31,399 the highway. Tell him you know nothing, you saw nothing, you heard 78 00:06:31,519 --> 00:06:46,879 nothing, and nothing happened. Oh right, mind? If I join in 79 00:06:46,959 --> 00:06:50,480 your garage, Hi, there can I get in out of the rain? 80 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:57,839 Oh hi, Rufus, Who of what you're doing? I listen down your 81 00:06:57,879 --> 00:07:00,759 ky inside your garage? Who as you just ick it out and let the 82 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:02,480 rain take care of it? No, kitten, it's coming hard, is 83 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:06,800 it? No? Cats and dogs? They didn't expect to find you here. 84 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:12,959 Mothery say you're going to the marina, Say Henry, would you mind 85 00:07:13,079 --> 00:07:18,920 turning off the holes for moments? Oh? Sure, sure, I just 86 00:07:19,079 --> 00:07:24,480 been inside talking to mother. You're not Rufus. When your hose down the 87 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,920 front end of the card, you don't wipe the chrome dry right away? 88 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:32,160 She gets off old the spotty to use a clean rag. I thought this 89 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:41,240 was clean. Spots all over. It looks like blood. Blood the smearing 90 00:07:41,319 --> 00:07:44,720 that headlight. Gonna get a clean claw. You know there's a pile in 91 00:07:44,759 --> 00:07:49,279 the corner. Excuse me, Rufus, Henry, he wants to hit something. 92 00:07:49,399 --> 00:07:56,079 There's a dead in the god below the bumper, and would you mind 93 00:07:56,079 --> 00:08:00,240 to fight? Squat down and get close a load? Take? Hey? 94 00:08:00,279 --> 00:08:03,399 Hey, what truck will you appointment at? Oh? I'm sorry, Rufus, 95 00:08:03,399 --> 00:08:07,639 I didn't see you on that side. What was it you wanted to 96 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:13,160 ask me about? Anyway? I wanted to ask you a question Henry, 97 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:24,120 but I think I know the answer. Then he said, it's okay, 98 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,560 I think I know the answer. Now what did he mean by that? 99 00:08:26,959 --> 00:08:33,799 I haven't the faintest idea, Martha, What did you tell him? Nothing? 100 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:37,240 You said to tell him nothing. He wanted to know where you were. 101 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,000 I said, you'd gone to the marina? And what did Rufus say? 102 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:46,320 He said, which way did he go? I said, I don't 103 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:50,879 know. He said when did he leave for that? Rufus? I said, 104 00:08:50,879 --> 00:08:56,000 oh, a couple of hours ago. I lied and lied for you. 105 00:08:56,559 --> 00:09:00,799 And he said did he walk? So? What could I say? 106 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,720 I didn't know what to say. I said, yes, I think so. 107 00:09:03,799 --> 00:09:07,480 And he said is your garage door open? And I said I guess 108 00:09:07,519 --> 00:09:09,759 so. And he said, well, I better go have a look. 109 00:09:11,039 --> 00:09:15,519 And that was that he must think there's something. Did he find anything? 110 00:09:16,159 --> 00:09:20,960 Are you talking about Henry? You know? Are you saying did he find 111 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:24,200 evidence that I ran over someone? No? He didn't because there was no 112 00:09:24,279 --> 00:09:28,240 evidence because I didn't run over anyone. Now you just put it out of 113 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,559 your mind. It didn't happen. If you say so, Oh, I've 114 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:35,200 had enough problems without having to be concerned with dummies who wander around on the 115 00:09:35,279 --> 00:09:41,679 fog. It was a rock we hit. You understand a rock, a 116 00:09:41,759 --> 00:09:45,679 dog, a deer. In a larger scheme of things, these things are 117 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:54,519 insignificant, Chief Roofers. Thanks for the time that all of you. I 118 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:58,000 didn't do any favor. I have known your family breaks with casings, the 119 00:09:58,039 --> 00:10:03,080 wheel and ships that and then tug it does your mother taking it? You 120 00:10:03,159 --> 00:10:09,000 know it's all inside. She holds it in. Always been able to do 121 00:10:09,039 --> 00:10:11,879 that with her feeling. Same thing like when my kid brother Jimmy died in 122 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:16,080 Korea. We had to New England stock for you, stoic and well, 123 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:20,639 just the same. She feels it. She's crushed, I know it. 124 00:10:22,759 --> 00:10:26,279 Thirty years married and never a bad word between my dad and mom. My 125 00:10:26,519 --> 00:10:33,120 dad the most wonderful person anyone could know this. People leave us too soon. 126 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:39,799 It's so unnecessary. By some crazy jerk speeding in the fog. We'll 127 00:10:39,799 --> 00:10:45,639 get him. You can't get far. Many will examine, as did it 128 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:50,200 happened between two and three o'clock in the morning. The road out here doesn't 129 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:54,440 go anywhere but to the ocean. Beat it out fast. Not true, 130 00:10:54,519 --> 00:10:58,480 Roy, You can only go as far as problems town. So whoever it 131 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:03,559 was, wasn't going through. He either lives here nor was visiting. Why 132 00:11:03,639 --> 00:11:07,039 know you've been out a lot because I've been trying to get you howse to 133 00:11:07,159 --> 00:11:13,279 house nor the way. Police detection is ninety nine percent Laywood. Now, 134 00:11:13,279 --> 00:11:18,200 why doesn't he come forward? Hit and run, hit and hide? If 135 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:24,000 I ever locate who ran my father down in cold blood, I don't know 136 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:28,639 what I do. Maybe someone will come forward, maybe maybe not. How 137 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:33,799 can I help when he is by being a comfort to your mother? I 138 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:39,080 mean more than that. I don't really know, son, But if you 139 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:43,639 want to regard our police outfit as yours, we're all over. Was anxious 140 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,720 to get to the bottom of this. I want to know everything, every 141 00:11:46,759 --> 00:11:50,799 step of the way. You see, Chief Rufless. I can't accept this 142 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:54,200 death of my father as an accident. To me, it was murder. 143 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:05,039 What is it? Mother? Father? Mother? Can you hear me? 144 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:09,679 I wish you wouldn't shout so Henry Saturday morning, I've been up since six. 145 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,759 What time is Wayne getting here? I told you, he said, 146 00:12:13,799 --> 00:12:18,200 not before tomorrow Sunday. Why are you so touchy? You've come up here 147 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:22,000 for a nice quiet weekend. I haven't got time for quiet weekends. Oh 148 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:26,320 look, honey, I'm sorry, but it's so much on my mind. 149 00:12:26,399 --> 00:12:30,080 How are you said? What time is it? Eight o'clock? I keep 150 00:12:30,159 --> 00:12:33,399 hoping maybe Wayne will show up. He knows I need him. Boston, 151 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:39,240 that's practically next door. I'm sure as soon as he can he'll get here. 152 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,919 When't that a car that drove up? No? I didn't hear it, 153 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:50,200 Well I did, but that's him. Hello. Hello? Are you 154 00:12:50,399 --> 00:12:56,120 Henry Trevor? Yeah? What's your name? Barthollow? Your gates? Bro? 155 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,799 What did you want to see me about? Do you have more than 156 00:12:58,879 --> 00:13:03,200 one car? Yeah? I do? Two? Three? What is this 157 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,879 all about? Your manner survey? I guess you could call it that we 158 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:09,960 have three cars. As a matter of fact, one's in town, New 159 00:13:09,039 --> 00:13:13,360 York, a smaller car. My wife's is being serviced, so there's only 160 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,120 one in the garage. Okay. Now, look, I'm very busy. 161 00:13:16,159 --> 00:13:18,679 So if you don't mind, I do mind. What don't you say? 162 00:13:18,799 --> 00:13:22,840 I said, I do mind, and I'm going to take a look at 163 00:13:22,879 --> 00:13:24,159 your car. Now where's the garage? You listen, I don't know you, 164 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,759 and I have no intention of showing you anything. Now you get out 165 00:13:26,759 --> 00:13:31,240 of here. Mister Trevor, don't mess around with me. Show me your 166 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,279 car, devil. I will look. I give you one minute. If 167 00:13:33,279 --> 00:13:37,399 you're not out of here, I call a police. Hey wait, I'm 168 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:41,399 sorry a revolver? Is this a hold of? And you show me your 169 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:45,799 car and no one will get hurt? Will you put it down? I'm 170 00:13:45,799 --> 00:13:48,559 sure I will. I hope you know what you're doing. I know what 171 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:52,679 I'm doing. I mean the way you're waving it around. I've done target 172 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:54,879 practice, mister Trevor. I learned about guns for my brother. He died 173 00:13:54,919 --> 00:14:00,360 in Korea. He had one rule, mister Trevor. If you're see the 174 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:09,600 enemy, shoot him. A young man desperate to avenge his father's death, 175 00:14:09,759 --> 00:14:16,480 holds a gun. A wife trapped in an unhappy marriage tries to take hold 176 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:24,320 of herself. Advice now from Hamlet again, patience forbearance. Let hercules himself 177 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:30,519 do what he may. That cat will view, and the dog will have 178 00:14:30,679 --> 00:14:46,399 his day. I shall return shortly with that too. The place Cape cod 179 00:14:46,519 --> 00:14:50,960 and a spit of land curving into the Atlantic, frequently foggy. The time, 180 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:56,279 late Sunday. The people Henry and Martha, Trevor and their dinner guests, 181 00:14:56,799 --> 00:15:03,080 A clergyman and a attorney. I wish the Reverend Charles didn't have to 182 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,759 leave us soon after we finished dinner. I thought he was fun. What 183 00:15:05,919 --> 00:15:09,480 did you think of our local minister, Wayne? Why k I'll like him. 184 00:15:09,559 --> 00:15:13,480 He's a pretty down to earth guy for a preacher. You know why 185 00:15:13,559 --> 00:15:18,120 he came to dinner with us because I invited him the most. Reverend Charles 186 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:22,879 came to touch me for another donation. Probably heard I bought a new boat 187 00:15:22,879 --> 00:15:26,759 and thought to himself, if my good parishioner can afford that, surely you 188 00:15:26,799 --> 00:15:31,200 can spare a couple of outed for the church coal fund. I told him, 189 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,600 didn't that you were a bit rude? I thought, Martha, you 190 00:15:33,639 --> 00:15:37,720 don't know the first thing about money? Day Wayne, Why you certainly cut 191 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:41,600 the reverend off at the past pretty sharply, Henry, Martha. The fact 192 00:15:41,759 --> 00:15:46,720 is Henry does have to watch his pennies and see. Why don't I tell 193 00:15:46,799 --> 00:15:50,480 you? She won't believe me? Why should I seems to me you spend 194 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,799 money faster than anyone I know. Or she's got you there, Henry, 195 00:15:52,799 --> 00:15:56,240 Ane, whose side are you on? Look at this house, fifteen rooms 196 00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:00,559 for two people. It's nine o'clock in one room, but the whole house 197 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,799 has lit up like a Christmas tree, lights burning in every room, and 198 00:16:03,879 --> 00:16:07,600 every time I'm here it's the same thing. Come off it, Wayne, 199 00:16:07,639 --> 00:16:10,279 I don't need lectures in my own house from my own lawyer. Well, 200 00:16:10,279 --> 00:16:12,639 it's an attitude, That's all I'm saying. I'm talking to you as a 201 00:16:12,679 --> 00:16:19,919 friend because I think sometimes you don't realize you just can't steamroll or over other 202 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:25,440 people or disregard the common good. And who do you suppose that is at 203 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:29,000 this time of the night. I'll have a look mother, dig up a 204 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:34,120 good friend before Wayne. You know what he likes. Wayne, I apologize 205 00:16:34,159 --> 00:16:38,440 for his behavior. This was one of the most embarrassing evenings I've ever spent, 206 00:16:38,919 --> 00:16:42,879 Henry throwing his weight around. I don't know what the Reverend Charles must 207 00:16:42,879 --> 00:16:47,960 have thought. I'm sorry I lost my temper with him. I should be 208 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:52,759 apologizing to your weak gets worse and worse. I'm not accident. One accident. 209 00:16:52,799 --> 00:16:56,240 The man was one over on Root six the night before last. So 210 00:16:56,519 --> 00:17:00,840 that's why they stopped me this afternoon. Who stopped you? The police? 211 00:17:02,639 --> 00:17:06,920 There was a roadblock between well Fleet and here. They were stopping cars in 212 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:11,440 both directions, they're looking at cars in every house. Yesterday, the son 213 00:17:11,559 --> 00:17:17,960 of the man who was killed threatened Henry with a gunsh I don't know whether 214 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:22,240 to take this as a compliment or what. The Reverend Charles went home and 215 00:17:22,319 --> 00:17:25,160 turned around, came all the way back here because he wanted me to show 216 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:30,160 him the speed cruiser tonight. Now. But the fog is rolling sure tonight, 217 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:33,759 why not? He's outside. I'll just find the old parker. Hey, 218 00:17:33,799 --> 00:17:36,680 Martha, have you seen my heavy duty flashlight. It's in the whole 219 00:17:36,799 --> 00:17:38,920 closet somewhere. Yeah, I got it. Be back in fifteen minutes. 220 00:17:42,279 --> 00:17:45,839 Why are the police after Henry? What did he have to do with it? 221 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:52,559 I was with him coming up here. I think Henry did run over 222 00:17:52,640 --> 00:18:03,839 that man. Well, Thom, you what you did yesterday? It was 223 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:07,000 not an authorized police method. I can't condone it. But the gun wasn't 224 00:18:07,039 --> 00:18:10,960 loaded, sir. I had to take a look in that garage myself. 225 00:18:11,519 --> 00:18:17,640 Police business is the exercise of logic. Don't jump to conclusions. There are 226 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:22,559 cars with dance and broken headlights and smashed vendors all over the area. I've 227 00:18:22,599 --> 00:18:26,319 been to several houses in the last two days when the car was damaged or 228 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:30,240 what would you say this was? I found it in the corner of Turvi's 229 00:18:30,279 --> 00:18:36,519 garage. So old ray Why I think it's part of a jacket, same 230 00:18:36,599 --> 00:18:40,720 weave, same color, a jacket of dad's. Couldn't this have been torn 231 00:18:40,799 --> 00:18:45,200 from a sleep? Getting to be quite a detective. What are you going 232 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,200 to do about it? What would you recommend? We'll see if it could 233 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:52,519 be matched up with what Dad was wearing. Okay, will do just that. 234 00:18:55,559 --> 00:19:02,640 Yes, sergeant, where are you? H m hmm. I'll be 235 00:19:02,799 --> 00:19:07,559 here when you bring him in. Bill Holy just picked up a man weaving 236 00:19:07,599 --> 00:19:11,960 and speeding down the highway. When he fished him, he had a walt 237 00:19:11,039 --> 00:19:25,720 on him. Your dad's what he's bringing him in for questioning. Henry said 238 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:29,559 he hit a rock, did he? That's what he said. I didn't 239 00:19:29,599 --> 00:19:34,720 actually see anyone full just a horrible, sickening bumper. I don't know what 240 00:19:34,799 --> 00:19:38,559 to tell you. Whether they believe in your husband or not. He'sn't enough 241 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:44,359 trouble as it is. Is it money again? I'm afraid so that's why 242 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:48,079 he wanted you to come over. Yes, I don't know if I can 243 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:52,039 help him. Is it that bad? Well, I don't know where to 244 00:19:52,079 --> 00:19:56,720 begin. He'll be back soon. What time is it? Shall we meet 245 00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:02,039 in an hour and a half from now? Say night, Yes, same 246 00:20:02,079 --> 00:20:04,920 place. Yes, I'll tell you all about it. Then. Oh, 247 00:20:06,039 --> 00:20:08,440 I think that's him at the front door. Well, I suppose I should 248 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:12,039 thank the Lordie didn't hit me again for a donation? Did the Reverend Charles 249 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:17,319 like your boat? He said, so we stood by the boat house. 250 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,960 You couldn't really seek in the dark and the fox. So say, hey, 251 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,200 Martha, what's the matter with you? Where's Wayne's brandy? I guess 252 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:29,960 I forgot it. I'm going to bed. I'm awfully tired. You going 253 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,799 back to the city in the morning. Wayne, No, I've got to 254 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:37,119 head back for Boston. We didn't finish Saturday. I'll be getting an early 255 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:41,880 start. Well, you'll be gone before I'm up. Wayne. It was 256 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:45,880 lovely seeing you. I think the guest rooms all set for you tonight. 257 00:20:45,279 --> 00:20:49,079 Hope you sleep well, you too, Martha, and thanks for a great 258 00:20:49,079 --> 00:20:56,279 dinner. Good night, Good night, Henry. Is there anything more you 259 00:20:56,319 --> 00:20:57,960 want to ask me about? Henry? And the heck of it is, 260 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:03,079 Wayne, don't know where all the money went to. Thanks for everything you've 261 00:21:03,079 --> 00:21:07,640 done, Henry. You're a big boy. Now you've simply gotten her a 262 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:12,920 minute. There is something that you can do for me. Tell Martha about 263 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:17,039 the loan. I explained to her. She's got to sign the note for 264 00:21:17,079 --> 00:21:18,839 it. Yeah, but I'm leaving first thing in the morning, leave later. 265 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:23,319 Talk to her at breakfast. Henry, You're impossible. I can't and 266 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:26,400 I won't. You know, there are other people in the world besides you, 267 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:30,000 people who are counting on me. I thought you were my friend. 268 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,599 She'll take it from you. But I can't hang around until she gets up 269 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:37,160 tomorrow. So I'll wake her.

I am sure law come back to you. Don't want 331 00:27:07,799 --> 00:27:18,279 your coffee to get cold? Now? Where will we? A man is 332 00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:23,039 killed in the road. Did he die right away? Or could his life 333 00:27:23,039 --> 00:27:30,720 have been saved? Accident? Or murder? Hamlet again, murder? Though 334 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:37,000 it have no tongue, we'll speak with most miraculous organ. What will a 335 00:27:37,079 --> 00:27:41,440 dead man tell us about the man who killed him? I shall be back 336 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:56,200 shortly with Act three. It is midnight. Fog is blanketing the coast of 337 00:27:56,279 --> 00:28:02,200 New England. Two people are awake, a man and a woman. They 338 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:07,720 walked silently without a light. They know the way. Three hundred nine, 339 00:28:08,799 --> 00:28:15,960 three hundred ten, three hundred eleven five more. What do you do anyway? 340 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,880 When I get to the last few, I count aloud at three hundred 341 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:25,839 and thirteen, three hundred and fourteen. When I'm not with you, math, 342 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:29,559 I count those steps to the boathouse. I know I'll be alone with 343 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:33,279 you. At step three hundred and fifteen, let me opened the old door. 344 00:28:40,279 --> 00:28:44,640 Oh oh I brought you, Oh you almost fell, Oh, but 345 00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:48,400 my foot cost and suddenly I was kidding. These old planks are full of 346 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:52,359 holes. Here, let me ride a match and see. Don't don't suppose 347 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:53,920 Henry were looking out the window and he saw a light in the boathouse. 348 00:28:55,039 --> 00:28:59,640 Oh he's asleep. I could hear him snoring from my room. I can 349 00:28:59,759 --> 00:29:03,640 feel on the floor. Hey, it's a it's a can of grease. 350 00:29:04,279 --> 00:29:07,839 Must have been knocked over. I don't know why, but I'm very frightened 351 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:11,359 tonight. Okay, let's walk carefully to the far end of the boathouse. 352 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:19,519 Henry really ought to have all these boards replaced. The floor of planking is 353 00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:23,359 rotten, and the water underneath us is very very deep. I know it 354 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:30,319 is. Sometimes when I come down here with him, I wish let's not 355 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:38,839 talk about him or think about him. Wayne, hold me close, Dary, 356 00:29:40,319 --> 00:29:45,839 you're trembling. I don't think the boat house at night is as safe 357 00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:49,279 as it used to be. Why not nobody comes here after dark? Henry 358 00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:56,839 Knight only thinks of is this speet cruiser? What's that down the sladder to 359 00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:02,240 the water. There there's a rowboat up. He uses it to throw out 360 00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:07,079 to the cruiser. I'm careful, careful, walk along the edge in the 361 00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:11,480 center. Most of the planks are rotten. Here, hold onto me. 362 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:15,440 We'll get to the bench and sit down. Tell me. Tell me what 363 00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:21,240 it is I mean about Henry. I will. In fact, Henry asked 364 00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:26,119 me to. He didn't want to tell you himself. He's gone through a 365 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:33,160 sizeable chunk of the money again how he says he doesn't know? Speculating, 366 00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:37,519 I guess, oh, my head. Was reckless of you to hand over 367 00:30:37,599 --> 00:30:41,279 half your inheritance when you got married. He's like a kid in a candy 368 00:30:41,319 --> 00:30:44,960 store. But you know why I did it. When we were married. 369 00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:48,160 I didn't want people to think he had nothing. I wanted half of it 370 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:53,279 to be his. You're only half successful. He thinks it's all his. 371 00:30:53,799 --> 00:31:00,079 There are worse things, much worse. What was it he wanted you to 372 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:07,640 tell me that you've got to sign another promissory note for fifty thousand? Is 373 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:15,680 that all for now? What did you mean there are worse things you haven't 374 00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:19,200 noticed? Well, yes, I suppose I have. He's more and more 375 00:31:19,279 --> 00:31:23,319 selfish every time I see him, so so centered. How awful? Then 376 00:31:23,359 --> 00:31:26,720 why don't you put an end to it? I don't know, I can't. 377 00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:30,920 Why are you hypnotized. Don't you know him for what he is? 378 00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:37,039 Yes? I do better than anyone, even you. All he cares about 379 00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:42,519 is himself, his food, his drinks, his possessions, his way always, 380 00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:48,359 it's got to be his way. I don't know him anymore. He's 381 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:55,640 become an animal with no conscience whatsoever? Beast no more? What's that? 382 00:31:56,319 --> 00:32:00,640 Oh? Just aligned from a play about a man very like? Yes, 383 00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:06,599 I know him for what he is. Yes, I cannot bear to have 384 00:32:06,759 --> 00:32:08,720 him touched me, even to be near me. Well, then why I 385 00:32:09,079 --> 00:32:15,640 can't go through with it again? That's why I just can't start all over 386 00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:23,839 again a third time, even with you, dearest Wayne, You forget I 387 00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:30,720 was a widow and lonely, and Henry married me. Why didn't I know 388 00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:38,559 you then? Because it wasn't meant to be? Mather take hold of your 389 00:32:38,559 --> 00:32:45,599 life. So you made a mistake. Say what's left? The real reason 390 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:50,039 I came here today? It wasn't to hold Henry's hand, but to tell 391 00:32:50,119 --> 00:32:53,200 you you must take a step. I can't be your lawyer, but I 392 00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:55,519 can get you a very good one. Don't talk that way. No, 393 00:32:55,640 --> 00:33:00,279 I can't neither can I are Marther. I can't go on it on. 394 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:07,720 Seeing you like this occasionally surreptitiously, then you must stop like that? Can 395 00:33:07,759 --> 00:33:13,559 you? If I have to here? We sit in the dark. I 396 00:33:13,599 --> 00:33:16,079 can't even see your face. I'm supposed to take you out in his boat 397 00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:22,599 tomorrow morning and get you to sign that note. And then how can I 398 00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:29,000 leave you here with him? There's only one answer? What's that I could 399 00:33:29,039 --> 00:33:50,559 be free if he would die? Hello? Hello, mister Trevor Henry. 400 00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:53,400 Yeah, and who is that is that? You? Rufus Clay? I 401 00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:57,599 am sorry to wake you up where I got something very important to tell you? 402 00:33:58,079 --> 00:34:00,559 My life to come over in the middle of the night. The whole 403 00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:06,440 house is asleep, can it wait? Don't think so? Why don't you 404 00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:15,599 tell me over the phone. It's terrible to wish him dead, isn't it? 405 00:34:15,639 --> 00:34:19,719 But he's driven me to it. You're not the only one who's thought 406 00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:23,159 that. You have to Oh? Yes, I wish it every day, 407 00:34:23,599 --> 00:34:29,440 every hour. He might as well know the kind of person I am. 408 00:34:29,599 --> 00:34:32,079 I'm not the saint you think. When he goes out in his car, 409 00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:37,039 I pray for something to happen to him. I read the death notices in 410 00:34:37,079 --> 00:34:40,320 the paper, and I think, why not? So and so was his 411 00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:46,039 age. Maybe that's why I bought him that boat. Oh no, oh, 412 00:34:46,159 --> 00:34:51,559 yes, I can even take his pretense that it was all his idea, 413 00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:58,119 that it came out of his pocket. If if that boat serves its 414 00:34:58,159 --> 00:35:04,000 purpose, I don't, Why do he talk like this? I pray every 415 00:35:04,119 --> 00:35:08,519 day he'll take it out to see HiT's some rock or submerged wreck, and 416 00:35:08,559 --> 00:35:14,840 that'll be the end. But it won't happen. Well, people do die 417 00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:19,880 the wrong people. Look how he ran over that poor man in the road 418 00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:24,679 Friday night. He won't be found out. It's hopeless. He's coming you 419 00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:29,039 sure, can you see that far up the path? I see his flesh 420 00:35:29,119 --> 00:35:32,239 light headed this way? But why it's his boat. He's coming down to 421 00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:35,400 check on it. What is there? Time to get up the path and 422 00:35:35,519 --> 00:35:38,000 hide behind something. No, No, he's getting closer every second. Wayne, 423 00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:42,599 Wayne, climbed down that ladder thing and get into the rowboat and row 424 00:35:42,679 --> 00:35:45,000 it away. He'll find us otherwise I do, and let him find you. 425 00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:50,000 And what are you doing here? I'm his wife. I came down 426 00:35:50,119 --> 00:35:53,239 because I was worried about the cruiser too. He'll believe me, Wayne, 427 00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:58,280 Hi, I'm not going HI can face him you'll kill you. Mother. 428 00:35:59,639 --> 00:36:04,679 Are you in the boat house? Mother? Are they looking for you? 429 00:36:06,559 --> 00:36:10,440 Is there's someone else in here? I thought I heard, Oh, mother, 430 00:36:12,639 --> 00:36:16,239 it is you. I looked in your room. The bed was unmade. 431 00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:21,639 What are you doing down here? I could ask the same of you, 432 00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:25,760 Henry. Don't don't shine the flashlight in my eyes. You know it 433 00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:30,760 woke me up the telephone. It was rufous. They picked up some old 434 00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:35,039 bum who with blood on his car, and they're holding him. They found 435 00:36:35,039 --> 00:36:38,719 the dead man's wallet on him. Isn't that criminal? Nobody's safe walking a 436 00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:43,679 country road anymore. I can't imagine that running a man down and leaving it 437 00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:47,400 anyway. The sea's getting rough, so I think i'll roll myself out and 438 00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:51,960 make sure about the anchor cable on the lines. Now, if you hold 439 00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:55,519 the flashlight, mother, I'll get myself down the ladder here. Okay, 440 00:36:55,960 --> 00:37:00,079 hold and steady. Hey, what happened you drop a flash I look what 441 00:37:00,119 --> 00:37:04,760 you've done. Oh my goodness. It is pitch black, and he's so 442 00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:09,880 stupid. Maybe I can find it. I at down my hands and knee. 443 00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:16,760 What is this her shoes? Here? Are you? There's someone standing 444 00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:27,239 here? Hello, Henry? That's on you. He will call it a 445 00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:31,239 night. But you never got that bump to admit anything. No, but 446 00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:37,599 we've come to where questioning ends and science beans. You'll learn that if you 447 00:37:37,679 --> 00:37:45,000 do go into police work tomorrow in the daylight, we'll examine his car microscopically, 448 00:37:45,199 --> 00:37:47,840 right down to the tires. Why don't you just bring him back to 449 00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:52,400 the very spot where he ran over my father? We may I'm not sure 450 00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:58,559 about what you see. It could have happened the way he tells it, 451 00:38:00,039 --> 00:38:02,840 this simon character. I could have found your dad lying there after he'd been 452 00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:07,480 hit by someone else, and he could have thought he was a bomb asleep 453 00:38:07,519 --> 00:38:13,199 on the side of the road and lifted his wallet. Is that a sample 454 00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:17,559 of police detection? Is deductive reasoning? Maybe sound, but that's not the 455 00:38:17,599 --> 00:38:22,079 way I figure it? And just how do you figure it? Ton? 456 00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:32,800 I figure you're letting the guilty man get away. Isn't this interesting? You 457 00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:37,960 Wayne and Mark alone down here in the boat house. I suppose there's a 458 00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:42,039 reason for this, but I'm not sure I care to hear it. Let 459 00:38:42,079 --> 00:38:52,119 me get my hands on you. I'm falling way. Are you all right? 460 00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:55,599 I'm here? It's Henry. He's down in that water. He can't 461 00:38:55,639 --> 00:39:00,440 swim. We have to get out of here, Wayne. We have to 462 00:39:00,519 --> 00:39:02,039 run for him. I can't let him drown. It's twenty feet deep. 463 00:39:05,119 --> 00:39:08,039 I'm going in after him. Don't Wayne, don't go down there there. 464 00:39:08,159 --> 00:39:23,480 Take my coat. I'm diving in, Wayne, Wayne Darling, is that 465 00:39:23,519 --> 00:39:32,400 you climbing up the ladder from down there? It's not him? Where is 466 00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:39,760 Wayne? I can't find him. He's not He's pulled me to the ladder. 467 00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:44,199 And when I started up here, when he somehow fell back into the 468 00:39:44,199 --> 00:39:47,920 water, I didn't push him, and then he was gone. He must 469 00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:52,079 have hit his head on the robot, That's all I can figure. And 470 00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:58,199 that was the last I saw of him. We can't leave him down there. 471 00:39:58,559 --> 00:40:01,039 Let me down this ladder, please, Henry, no use. Wayne's 472 00:40:01,079 --> 00:40:13,480 gone. He's drowned. Yeah, I know what's upsetting Master. That's why 473 00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:16,760 I'm holding on to you. Come on up the path, please, please. 474 00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:22,000 So you wanted me dead, did you? He wanted Wayne alive? 475 00:40:22,079 --> 00:40:25,440 He betrayed the murder in your heart. Master. That's too bad. We 476 00:40:25,639 --> 00:40:30,800 almost be punished for our sins, don't you agree? Who knows, my 477 00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:34,400 dear, yours may be many, many long years as my wife. Is 478 00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:38,920 that you Henry Trevor? Yes? Who is that? I can't quite see 479 00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:47,639 you in the fog? Is this is this better? Can you see me 480 00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:52,199 now? Don't I know you? But I thought I'm your gates? What 481 00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:57,760 sept you're holding in front of you? You've never seen it before? A 482 00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:01,239 piece of my father's coat sleeve, one of the rags in your garage, 483 00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:06,079 Mister Trevor. I meant, what's that in your other hand? My gun? 484 00:41:07,599 --> 00:41:12,320 Missus Trevor? Yes, would you please move away to your right let 485 00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:19,440 go of her? Mister Trevor, thank you. That's far enough, Missus 486 00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:21,840 Trevor. Just want you out of rain? Are you going to do? 487 00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:28,079 My brother once told me, when you see an enemy shooting us off, 488 00:41:28,559 --> 00:41:42,719 don't Was it inevitable that Henry Trevor should die? Did he, in fact 489 00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:46,320 first pull the trigger of his own destiny? The night he carelessly killed a 490 00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:52,760 man on the road? Are we masters of our fate? Or slaves to 491 00:41:52,840 --> 00:42:05,519 our sins? I shall be back shortly to conclude. May I leave you 492 00:42:05,559 --> 00:42:09,880 with a question asked by Hamlet? What is a man, if the chief 493 00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:16,079 good and market of his time lee but to sleep and feed a beast? 494 00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:22,280 No More. Hamlet might have been describing Henry Trevor a beast no More. 495 00:42:24,159 --> 00:42:29,199 Our cast included Norman Rose, Robert Dryden, Russell Horton and Carrol Titel. 496 00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:37,360 The entire production was under the direction of Hyman Brown. And now a preview 497 00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:39,760 of our next tale. What are we going to do? Don't worry, 498 00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:45,159 professor, ancient bodies of your specialty press ones are mine. Yes, but 499 00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:47,679 this is liable to stop our work. A spice will be crawling with police 500 00:42:47,679 --> 00:42:53,280 and newsmen television crews. What all really? Why is murder a little too 501 00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:57,360 common to rate that kind of attention? But how do you know it is 502 00:42:57,480 --> 00:43:00,760 murder? Miss length Hoop, you surprised me. A suicide may dig her 503 00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:05,159 own grave, but you would hardly expect her to pull the dirt in after 504 00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:08,400 her. It's very shallow, Professor. I don't think we should use shovels. 505 00:43:08,639 --> 00:43:12,280 Shall we use the brushes from here? Sure? But let's get a 506 00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:19,559 move on it. Look look the hand it attached only two bones. Do 507 00:43:19,679 --> 00:43:23,360 let's get it done? Oh no, no, will you all stop crowding? 508 00:43:23,519 --> 00:43:28,800 You think this was a Hollywood opening? Chains right, there is no 509 00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:32,840 body. Her hands are attached to a skeleton. This is E. G. 510 00:43:34,079 --> 00:43:38,440 Marshall inviting you to return to our Mystery Theater for another adventure in the 511 00:43:38,519 --> 00:44:14,840 macabre. Until next time, pleasant dream.
