The CBS Radio Mystery Theater presents, come in welcome. I'm e. G.
Marshal. When our deep plots should fall, it should learn us.
There's a divinity that shapes our ends. Rough hew them how we will.
What is Hamlet saying? More or less, don't mess with fate. Regardless
how you need your life, Fate controls your destiny. We're all anxious to
get to the bottom of this sun. So if you want to hang round
the police station and watch us work leisure or thank you sir. You see
I'd like to learn to be a detective. Said as it is, this
death of your father, there's a good case to begin on. Take my
word for it. I can't you see, I can't believe the way he
was killed was an accident. To me, it was murder. Our mystery
drama The Beast was adapted from a story by Edith Horton, especially for Mystery
Theater by James Aggot Jr. And stars Norman Rose and Robert Dryden. There
are those who marry for love. There are those who marry for money.
Among the latter, love is generally one sided. Nevertheless, the Duke or
deceived, believed that for companion Chip and a measure of fidelity. No price
is too high to pay. Such was the case of missus Henry Trevor until
three years ago, a widow now remarried to a strange and selfish spouse.
Henry, aren't we going a little too fast? You're doing seventy seventy isn't
speeding if you've got control of the wheel. And dearest wife, if there's
anyone who knows how to handle a car, it's yours, truly. But
it's so foggy you can hardly see in front of you. I don't need
to We make this chip up from New York every weekend. I know the
road backwards. Besides, hoop, an idiot will be out of my highway
this time of the night. Henry. Can we look out that there's a
man walking? We've hit him? Nay, Henry, what are you doing?
You've got to stop before. I didn't hit anything so crazy? We
hit that land turn around for Heaven's safe. Calm down. Don't get yourself
all excited. Didn't you feel the bulk when we hit him? Henry?
Please stop the car and go back. Only a rock on the road.
Now close your eyes and go to sleep. I'm tired. I don't want
to get to the Cape as soon as I can. Hello, Wayne,
is that you? Yes? When you're down my number, you always get
me or what's up? Henry asked me to call you and ask if you'd
like to come up to the Cape for the weekend. Yes, weekend,
You've got to come, Wayne, sound mighty serious, laugh a little mina.
It's no laughing matter. I mean it. Please come. I'll tell
you what. I'll be in Boston Saturday, and I'll come up Sunday and
stay over. Okay, Yes, anything would be better than nothing. Father.
You know how I feel about you. We've been friends for a long
time. But I cannot come before Sunday. It'll have to do. I
guess I can hang on till then. I am Wayne terribly upset. I'm
just about at the end of my rope with Henry. Don't fail me.
Be here Sunday. I will and try to bear up my hand. Remember,
I know, Wayne, That's why I'm so miserable. Wow, I
like that. You're fine. It's fine. I'll tell Henry bye. Wayne.
You'll tell Henry what Martha dear? Oh that was Wayne. He said
to tell you he'd be here Sunday Sunday. He couldn't come before. I
guess not. He said he had to be Emboston on business Saturday. That's
my own fault to put my faith in anybody else. What are you talking
about? Wayne's a very good friend. I go pick an aggressive lawyer,
and the first thing, you know, he hasn't got the time for me.
That's ridiculous. He works seven days a week for a lot of people,
not only me. Are you listening another one of those sudden coast storms.
My new speed cruiser is going to be our eye. Isn't it anchored
off the boathouse? Yeah? But if the seas get rough, it could
break loose. You know what, I think. I'll put on my oilskin
and go down to the boathouse or make sure, Oh I'll go. I'm
expecting the grocery boy with the food for the party. Poor boy, he'll
be so wait a minute, what party, Henry? How can you be
so forgetful? We asked the Reverend Charles for Sunday dinner. I'll be back
in a moment. Hello, Truro Marina. Yeah, can I speak to
Captain James? Yeah? Sure, I'll hang on Henry. Henry could I
speak to you for a moment. Hold a second, Mark, I'm trying
to get Captain James at the marina. Maybe you can give me an idea
how long the storm's gonna last. Henry, Amy, it's the police.
You'd better hang up and go to the door. The police to see me.
Martha, did you tell him that I was here? Well, not
exactly. I think I'm going to get you, but I don't know how
long the storm's gonna last this afternoon. I better shoot over to the marina
and see Captain Henry. They're outside. I cannot help that. I can't
be bothered with every request for the Police Athletic League or the Policeman's ball.
I got too much to do. Henry. It's Rufus Clay, the chief
himself, and he's not selling any raffle tickets. Will you tell him that
I'm not here. I'm going up the back way. Rufus wants to know
if we know anything about a man who has run over late last night on
the highway. Tell him you know nothing, you saw nothing, you heard
nothing, and nothing happened. Oh right, mind? If I join in
your garage, Hi, there can I get in out of the rain?
Oh hi, Rufus, Who of what you're doing? I listen down your
ky inside your garage? Who as you just ick it out and let the
rain take care of it? No, kitten, it's coming hard, is
it? No? Cats and dogs? They didn't expect to find you here.
Mothery say you're going to the marina, Say Henry, would you mind
turning off the holes for moments? Oh? Sure, sure, I just
been inside talking to mother. You're not Rufus. When your hose down the
front end of the card, you don't wipe the chrome dry right away?
She gets off old the spotty to use a clean rag. I thought this
was clean. Spots all over. It looks like blood. Blood the smearing
that headlight. Gonna get a clean claw. You know there's a pile in
the corner. Excuse me, Rufus, Henry, he wants to hit something.
There's a dead in the god below the bumper, and would you mind
to fight? Squat down and get close a load? Take? Hey?
Hey, what truck will you appointment at? Oh? I'm sorry, Rufus,
I didn't see you on that side. What was it you wanted to
ask me about? Anyway? I wanted to ask you a question Henry,
but I think I know the answer. Then he said, it's okay,
I think I know the answer. Now what did he mean by that?
I haven't the faintest idea, Martha, What did you tell him? Nothing?
You said to tell him nothing. He wanted to know where you were.
I said, you'd gone to the marina? And what did Rufus say?
He said, which way did he go? I said, I don't
know. He said when did he leave for that? Rufus? I said,
oh, a couple of hours ago. I lied and lied for you.
And he said did he walk? So? What could I say?
I didn't know what to say. I said, yes, I think so.
And he said is your garage door open? And I said I guess
so. And he said, well, I better go have a look.
And that was that he must think there's something. Did he find anything?
Are you talking about Henry? You know? Are you saying did he find
evidence that I ran over someone? No? He didn't because there was no
evidence because I didn't run over anyone. Now you just put it out of
your mind. It didn't happen. If you say so, Oh, I've
had enough problems without having to be concerned with dummies who wander around on the
fog. It was a rock we hit. You understand a rock, a
dog, a deer. In a larger scheme of things, these things are
insignificant, Chief Roofers. Thanks for the time that all of you. I
didn't do any favor. I have known your family breaks with casings, the
wheel and ships that and then tug it does your mother taking it? You
know it's all inside. She holds it in. Always been able to do
that with her feeling. Same thing like when my kid brother Jimmy died in
Korea. We had to New England stock for you, stoic and well,
just the same. She feels it. She's crushed, I know it.
Thirty years married and never a bad word between my dad and mom. My
dad the most wonderful person anyone could know this. People leave us too soon.
It's so unnecessary. By some crazy jerk speeding in the fog. We'll
get him. You can't get far. Many will examine, as did it
happened between two and three o'clock in the morning. The road out here doesn't
go anywhere but to the ocean. Beat it out fast. Not true,
Roy, You can only go as far as problems town. So whoever it
was, wasn't going through. He either lives here nor was visiting. Why
know you've been out a lot because I've been trying to get you howse to
house nor the way. Police detection is ninety nine percent Laywood. Now,
why doesn't he come forward? Hit and run, hit and hide? If
I ever locate who ran my father down in cold blood, I don't know
what I do. Maybe someone will come forward, maybe maybe not. How
can I help when he is by being a comfort to your mother? I
mean more than that. I don't really know, son, But if you
want to regard our police outfit as yours, we're all over. Was anxious
to get to the bottom of this. I want to know everything, every
step of the way. You see, Chief Rufless. I can't accept this
death of my father as an accident. To me, it was murder.
What is it? Mother? Father? Mother? Can you hear me?
I wish you wouldn't shout so Henry Saturday morning, I've been up since six.
What time is Wayne getting here? I told you, he said,
not before tomorrow Sunday. Why are you so touchy? You've come up here
for a nice quiet weekend. I haven't got time for quiet weekends. Oh
look, honey, I'm sorry, but it's so much on my mind.
How are you said? What time is it? Eight o'clock? I keep
hoping maybe Wayne will show up. He knows I need him. Boston,
that's practically next door. I'm sure as soon as he can he'll get here.
When't that a car that drove up? No? I didn't hear it,
Well I did, but that's him. Hello. Hello? Are you
Henry Trevor? Yeah? What's your name? Barthollow? Your gates? Bro?
What did you want to see me about? Do you have more than
one car? Yeah? I do? Two? Three? What is this
all about? Your manner survey? I guess you could call it that we
have three cars. As a matter of fact, one's in town, New
York, a smaller car. My wife's is being serviced, so there's only
one in the garage. Okay. Now, look, I'm very busy.
So if you don't mind, I do mind. What don't you say?
I said, I do mind, and I'm going to take a look at
your car. Now where's the garage? You listen, I don't know you,
and I have no intention of showing you anything. Now you get out
of here. Mister Trevor, don't mess around with me. Show me your
car, devil. I will look. I give you one minute. If
you're not out of here, I call a police. Hey wait, I'm
sorry a revolver? Is this a hold of? And you show me your
car and no one will get hurt? Will you put it down? I'm
sure I will. I hope you know what you're doing. I know what
I'm doing. I mean the way you're waving it around. I've done target
practice, mister Trevor. I learned about guns for my brother. He died
in Korea. He had one rule, mister Trevor. If you're see the
enemy, shoot him. A young man desperate to avenge his father's death,
holds a gun. A wife trapped in an unhappy marriage tries to take hold
of herself. Advice now from Hamlet again, patience forbearance. Let hercules himself
do what he may. That cat will view, and the dog will have
his day. I shall return shortly with that too. The place Cape cod
and a spit of land curving into the Atlantic, frequently foggy. The time,
late Sunday. The people Henry and Martha, Trevor and their dinner guests,
A clergyman and a attorney. I wish the Reverend Charles didn't have to
leave us soon after we finished dinner. I thought he was fun. What
did you think of our local minister, Wayne? Why k I'll like him.
He's a pretty down to earth guy for a preacher. You know why
he came to dinner with us because I invited him the most. Reverend Charles
came to touch me for another donation. Probably heard I bought a new boat
and thought to himself, if my good parishioner can afford that, surely you
can spare a couple of outed for the church coal fund. I told him,
didn't that you were a bit rude? I thought, Martha, you
don't know the first thing about money? Day Wayne, Why you certainly cut
the reverend off at the past pretty sharply, Henry, Martha. The fact
is Henry does have to watch his pennies and see. Why don't I tell
you? She won't believe me? Why should I seems to me you spend
money faster than anyone I know. Or she's got you there, Henry,
Ane, whose side are you on? Look at this house, fifteen rooms
for two people. It's nine o'clock in one room, but the whole house
has lit up like a Christmas tree, lights burning in every room, and
every time I'm here it's the same thing. Come off it, Wayne,
I don't need lectures in my own house from my own lawyer. Well,
it's an attitude, That's all I'm saying. I'm talking to you as a
friend because I think sometimes you don't realize you just can't steamroll or over other
people or disregard the common good. And who do you suppose that is at
this time of the night. I'll have a look mother, dig up a
good friend before Wayne. You know what he likes. Wayne, I apologize
for his behavior. This was one of the most embarrassing evenings I've ever spent,
Henry throwing his weight around. I don't know what the Reverend Charles must
have thought. I'm sorry I lost my temper with him. I should be
apologizing to your weak gets worse and worse. I'm not accident. One accident.
The man was one over on Root six the night before last. So
that's why they stopped me this afternoon. Who stopped you? The police?
There was a roadblock between well Fleet and here. They were stopping cars in
both directions, they're looking at cars in every house. Yesterday, the son
of the man who was killed threatened Henry with a gunsh I don't know whether
to take this as a compliment or what. The Reverend Charles went home and
turned around, came all the way back here because he wanted me to show
him the speed cruiser tonight. Now. But the fog is rolling sure tonight,
why not? He's outside. I'll just find the old parker. Hey,
Martha, have you seen my heavy duty flashlight. It's in the whole
closet somewhere. Yeah, I got it. Be back in fifteen minutes.
Why are the police after Henry? What did he have to do with it?
I was with him coming up here. I think Henry did run over
that man. Well, Thom, you what you did yesterday? It was
not an authorized police method. I can't condone it. But the gun wasn't
loaded, sir. I had to take a look in that garage myself.
Police business is the exercise of logic. Don't jump to conclusions. There are
cars with dance and broken headlights and smashed vendors all over the area. I've
been to several houses in the last two days when the car was damaged or
what would you say this was? I found it in the corner of Turvi's
garage. So old ray Why I think it's part of a jacket, same
weave, same color, a jacket of dad's. Couldn't this have been torn
from a sleep? Getting to be quite a detective. What are you going
to do about it? What would you recommend? We'll see if it could
be matched up with what Dad was wearing. Okay, will do just that.
Yes, sergeant, where are you? H m hmm. I'll be
here when you bring him in. Bill Holy just picked up a man weaving
and speeding down the highway. When he fished him, he had a walt
on him. Your dad's what he's bringing him in for questioning. Henry said
he hit a rock, did he? That's what he said. I didn't
actually see anyone full just a horrible, sickening bumper. I don't know what
to tell you. Whether they believe in your husband or not. He'sn't enough
trouble as it is. Is it money again? I'm afraid so that's why
he wanted you to come over. Yes, I don't know if I can
help him. Is it that bad? Well, I don't know where to
begin. He'll be back soon. What time is it? Shall we meet
in an hour and a half from now? Say night, Yes, same
place. Yes, I'll tell you all about it. Then. Oh,
I think that's him at the front door. Well, I suppose I should
thank the Lordie didn't hit me again for a donation? Did the Reverend Charles
like your boat? He said, so we stood by the boat house.
You couldn't really seek in the dark and the fox. So say, hey,
Martha, what's the matter with you? Where's Wayne's brandy? I guess
I forgot it. I'm going to bed. I'm awfully tired. You going
back to the city in the morning. Wayne, No, I've got to
head back for Boston. We didn't finish Saturday. I'll be getting an early
start. Well, you'll be gone before I'm up. Wayne. It was
lovely seeing you. I think the guest rooms all set for you tonight.
Hope you sleep well, you too, Martha, and thanks for a great
dinner. Good night, Good night, Henry. Is there anything more you
want to ask me about? Henry? And the heck of it is,
Wayne, don't know where all the money went to. Thanks for everything you've
done, Henry. You're a big boy. Now you've simply gotten her a
minute. There is something that you can do for me. Tell Martha about
the loan. I explained to her. She's got to sign the note for
it. Yeah, but I'm leaving first thing in the morning, leave later.
Talk to her at breakfast. Henry, You're impossible. I can't and
I won't. You know, there are other people in the world besides you,
people who are counting on me. I thought you were my friend.
She'll take it from you. But I can't hang around until she gets up
tomorrow. So I'll wake her. I'll have an idea. He'll take these
keys to the cruiser, take her out for a spend tomorrow morning. Is
my guest breakfast on board, just you two. You tell her to sign
and another thing when don't tell her anything about the other business, about my
mother's securities, Henry, I don't know how to say this, but she'd
better get hold of yourself. You'd better take care. Oh I am Wayne.
I like the man said, I'm taking care of number one. He
got picked up for reckless driving. What's your name, Simon? Simon?
What? I don't have any last new who's that? Wow? As a
young man, attached to our office. He's sitting in on this interrogation.
Any objections, no, nokay, Simon, no last name. I want
you to know your rights before you're saying anything. I give you this card
to read. It's important you know your rights. I'm I'm kind of tired.
I don't see so well. Lah, that's what Sergeant Harley reported.
We even all over the road. Ran read the card. I'm waiting to
tell you the truth. I can't. I can't read you see about how
I'm ill the case like this, we got to read the suspect his rights.
Simon, you have a right to remain silent if you talk to a
police officer. Ask me anything you say, Hey, cannon will be used
against you. Ask me anything you like. I don't care if I'm not
finished. You had the right to consult with a lawyer. You may have
him with you during the question. You want a lawyer. I don't need
no lawyer. I ain't done nothing. Now I want to know is why
I'm here? Is that all? I ain't got a lot more questions than
that. Okay, we begin at the beginning. Your name. I told
your Simon, Simon, what I don't have No last name, and you
don't have any driver's license or either. I do have it, but I
looked at home. Is this your wallet? Yeah, he's your credit cards?
I I don't know. Can't you answer a simple question? Who is
that kid? I told you he's here unofficially. His name is bat LAMEWE.
Gates. You pick him up too. He is the son of the
man you ran over, George Gate. Now look, I didn't run over
nobody. What are you doing with George Gates wallet? It's mine? I
found it. Where did you find it? I don't know. Somewhere I
forgot. When did you find it? For Friday night? Where? I
don't remember? Where did you find the wallet? Time? I don't know.
Friday night I was drunk, I don't I don't remember. You don't
remember. I suggest to you on Friday night it was real, fuggy.
You were driving on Route six all of a sudden as a man walking,
You don't see him. Your car hits him. Then, Simon, you
stop your car, You go back to help him, and you see he's
dead. But you're not so drunk. Simons, you can't reach into his
pocket and steal the dead man's wallet. Now, how it happens, Simon,
think it over. What time is it now? Chief's getting on there.
How about some coffee buzz on mhum, yeah, sure mute two Simon,
Yeah, Bill, go next door to the diner and get three coffees
and three doughnuts. Yeah that Hanks. We've had a look at your car,
Simon. So what did you run into? Hord. There's blood and
hair short hairs on the front of your car. H I hit a dog.
I didn't see him. I'm sorry he hit the dog. Did the
dog have this waret on him? No, sir, And now you won't
tell me about the white I didn't do it. He didn't do what sim
I mean. I found the wallet. That's what I mean. Was that
before after he hit the dog? She proofs. Can I say something?
Okay? Bathoomium, mister Simon. The man who was run over was my
father. Do you understand that? Now? I am not gonna let go
of this until I find out who did it. And I mean that.
So if you know any hole hit by thom you no threats? Okay,
B'll bring it right in. Set the coffee and doughnuts over here, bathalm
him. Here's your coffee and this one's for me, Simon. Suppose we
just hold on your car the indoor hut until you've remembered everything about the dog
and the wallet. I am sure law come back to you. Don't want
your coffee to get cold? Now? Where will we? A man is
killed in the road. Did he die right away? Or could his life
have been saved? Accident? Or murder? Hamlet again, murder? Though
it have no tongue, we'll speak with most miraculous organ. What will a
dead man tell us about the man who killed him? I shall be back
shortly with Act three. It is midnight. Fog is blanketing the coast of
New England. Two people are awake, a man and a woman. They
walked silently without a light. They know the way. Three hundred nine,
three hundred ten, three hundred eleven five more. What do you do anyway?
When I get to the last few, I count aloud at three hundred
and thirteen, three hundred and fourteen. When I'm not with you, math,
I count those steps to the boathouse. I know I'll be alone with
you. At step three hundred and fifteen, let me opened the old door.
Oh oh I brought you, Oh you almost fell, Oh, but
my foot cost and suddenly I was kidding. These old planks are full of
holes. Here, let me ride a match and see. Don't don't suppose
Henry were looking out the window and he saw a light in the boathouse.
Oh he's asleep. I could hear him snoring from my room. I can
feel on the floor. Hey, it's a it's a can of grease.
Must have been knocked over. I don't know why, but I'm very frightened
tonight. Okay, let's walk carefully to the far end of the boathouse.
Henry really ought to have all these boards replaced. The floor of planking is
rotten, and the water underneath us is very very deep. I know it
is. Sometimes when I come down here with him, I wish let's not
talk about him or think about him. Wayne, hold me close, Dary,
you're trembling. I don't think the boat house at night is as safe
as it used to be. Why not nobody comes here after dark? Henry
Knight only thinks of is this speet cruiser? What's that down the sladder to
the water. There there's a rowboat up. He uses it to throw out
to the cruiser. I'm careful, careful, walk along the edge in the
center. Most of the planks are rotten. Here, hold onto me.
We'll get to the bench and sit down. Tell me. Tell me what
it is I mean about Henry. I will. In fact, Henry asked
me to. He didn't want to tell you himself. He's gone through a
sizeable chunk of the money again how he says he doesn't know? Speculating,
I guess, oh, my head. Was reckless of you to hand over
half your inheritance when you got married. He's like a kid in a candy
store. But you know why I did it. When we were married.
I didn't want people to think he had nothing. I wanted half of it
to be his. You're only half successful. He thinks it's all his.
There are worse things, much worse. What was it he wanted you to
tell me that you've got to sign another promissory note for fifty thousand? Is
that all for now? What did you mean there are worse things you haven't
noticed? Well, yes, I suppose I have. He's more and more
selfish every time I see him, so so centered. How awful? Then
why don't you put an end to it? I don't know, I can't.
Why are you hypnotized. Don't you know him for what he is?
Yes? I do better than anyone, even you. All he cares about
is himself, his food, his drinks, his possessions, his way always,
it's got to be his way. I don't know him anymore. He's
become an animal with no conscience whatsoever? Beast no more? What's that?
Oh? Just aligned from a play about a man very like? Yes,
I know him for what he is. Yes, I cannot bear to have
him touched me, even to be near me. Well, then why I
can't go through with it again? That's why I just can't start all over
again a third time, even with you, dearest Wayne, You forget I
was a widow and lonely, and Henry married me. Why didn't I know
you then? Because it wasn't meant to be? Mather take hold of your
life. So you made a mistake. Say what's left? The real reason
I came here today? It wasn't to hold Henry's hand, but to tell
you you must take a step. I can't be your lawyer, but I
can get you a very good one. Don't talk that way. No,
I can't neither can I are Marther. I can't go on it on.
Seeing you like this occasionally surreptitiously, then you must stop like that? Can
you? If I have to here? We sit in the dark. I
can't even see your face. I'm supposed to take you out in his boat
tomorrow morning and get you to sign that note. And then how can I
leave you here with him? There's only one answer? What's that I could
be free if he would die? Hello? Hello, mister Trevor Henry.
Yeah, and who is that is that? You? Rufus Clay? I
am sorry to wake you up where I got something very important to tell you?
My life to come over in the middle of the night. The whole
house is asleep, can it wait? Don't think so? Why don't you
tell me over the phone. It's terrible to wish him dead, isn't it?
But he's driven me to it. You're not the only one who's thought
that. You have to Oh? Yes, I wish it every day,
every hour. He might as well know the kind of person I am.
I'm not the saint you think. When he goes out in his car,
I pray for something to happen to him. I read the death notices in
the paper, and I think, why not? So and so was his
age. Maybe that's why I bought him that boat. Oh no, oh,
yes, I can even take his pretense that it was all his idea,
that it came out of his pocket. If if that boat serves its
purpose, I don't, Why do he talk like this? I pray every
day he'll take it out to see HiT's some rock or submerged wreck, and
that'll be the end. But it won't happen. Well, people do die
the wrong people. Look how he ran over that poor man in the road
Friday night. He won't be found out. It's hopeless. He's coming you
sure, can you see that far up the path? I see his flesh
light headed this way? But why it's his boat. He's coming down to
check on it. What is there? Time to get up the path and
hide behind something. No, No, he's getting closer every second. Wayne,
Wayne, climbed down that ladder thing and get into the rowboat and row
it away. He'll find us otherwise I do, and let him find you.
And what are you doing here? I'm his wife. I came down
because I was worried about the cruiser too. He'll believe me, Wayne,
Hi, I'm not going HI can face him you'll kill you. Mother.
Are you in the boat house? Mother? Are they looking for you?
Is there's someone else in here? I thought I heard, Oh, mother,
it is you. I looked in your room. The bed was unmade.
What are you doing down here? I could ask the same of you,
Henry. Don't don't shine the flashlight in my eyes. You know it
woke me up the telephone. It was rufous. They picked up some old
bum who with blood on his car, and they're holding him. They found
the dead man's wallet on him. Isn't that criminal? Nobody's safe walking a
country road anymore. I can't imagine that running a man down and leaving it
anyway. The sea's getting rough, so I think i'll roll myself out and
make sure about the anchor cable on the lines. Now, if you hold
the flashlight, mother, I'll get myself down the ladder here. Okay,
hold and steady. Hey, what happened you drop a flash I look what
you've done. Oh my goodness. It is pitch black, and he's so
stupid. Maybe I can find it. I at down my hands and knee.
What is this her shoes? Here? Are you? There's someone standing
here? Hello, Henry? That's on you. He will call it a
night. But you never got that bump to admit anything. No, but
we've come to where questioning ends and science beans. You'll learn that if you
do go into police work tomorrow in the daylight, we'll examine his car microscopically,
right down to the tires. Why don't you just bring him back to
the very spot where he ran over my father? We may I'm not sure
about what you see. It could have happened the way he tells it,
this simon character. I could have found your dad lying there after he'd been
hit by someone else, and he could have thought he was a bomb asleep
on the side of the road and lifted his wallet. Is that a sample
of police detection? Is deductive reasoning? Maybe sound, but that's not the
way I figure it? And just how do you figure it? Ton?
I figure you're letting the guilty man get away. Isn't this interesting? You
Wayne and Mark alone down here in the boat house. I suppose there's a
reason for this, but I'm not sure I care to hear it. Let
me get my hands on you. I'm falling way. Are you all right?
I'm here? It's Henry. He's down in that water. He can't
swim. We have to get out of here, Wayne. We have to
run for him. I can't let him drown. It's twenty feet deep.
I'm going in after him. Don't Wayne, don't go down there there.
Take my coat. I'm diving in, Wayne, Wayne Darling, is that
you climbing up the ladder from down there? It's not him? Where is
Wayne? I can't find him. He's not He's pulled me to the ladder.
And when I started up here, when he somehow fell back into the
water, I didn't push him, and then he was gone. He must
have hit his head on the robot, That's all I can figure. And
that was the last I saw of him. We can't leave him down there.
Let me down this ladder, please, Henry, no use. Wayne's
gone. He's drowned. Yeah, I know what's upsetting Master. That's why
I'm holding on to you. Come on up the path, please, please.
So you wanted me dead, did you? He wanted Wayne alive?
He betrayed the murder in your heart. Master. That's too bad. We
almost be punished for our sins, don't you agree? Who knows, my
dear, yours may be many, many long years as my wife. Is
that you Henry Trevor? Yes? Who is that? I can't quite see
you in the fog? Is this is this better? Can you see me
now? Don't I know you? But I thought I'm your gates? What
sept you're holding in front of you? You've never seen it before? A
piece of my father's coat sleeve, one of the rags in your garage,
Mister Trevor. I meant, what's that in your other hand? My gun?
Missus Trevor? Yes, would you please move away to your right let
go of her? Mister Trevor, thank you. That's far enough, Missus
Trevor. Just want you out of rain? Are you going to do?
My brother once told me, when you see an enemy shooting us off,
don't Was it inevitable that Henry Trevor should die? Did he, in fact
first pull the trigger of his own destiny? The night he carelessly killed a
man on the road? Are we masters of our fate? Or slaves to
our sins? I shall be back shortly to conclude. May I leave you
with a question asked by Hamlet? What is a man, if the chief
good and market of his time lee but to sleep and feed a beast?
No More. Hamlet might have been describing Henry Trevor a beast no More.
Our cast included Norman Rose, Robert Dryden, Russell Horton and Carrol Titel.
The entire production was under the direction of Hyman Brown. And now a preview
of our next tale. What are we going to do? Don't worry,
professor, ancient bodies of your specialty press ones are mine. Yes, but
this is liable to stop our work. A spice will be crawling with police
and newsmen television crews. What all really? Why is murder a little too
common to rate that kind of attention? But how do you know it is
murder? Miss length Hoop, you surprised me. A suicide may dig her
own grave, but you would hardly expect her to pull the dirt in after
her. It's very shallow, Professor. I don't think we should use shovels.
Shall we use the brushes from here? Sure? But let's get a
move on it. Look look the hand it attached only two bones. Do
let's get it done? Oh no, no, will you all stop crowding?
You think this was a Hollywood opening? Chains right, there is no
body. Her hands are attached to a skeleton. This is E. G.
Marshall inviting you to return to our Mystery Theater for another adventure in the
macabre. Until next time, pleasant dream. He cli
