00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:24,839
The CBS Radio Mystery Theater presents,
come in Welcome. I'm E. G.

2
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:30,600
Marshaw. Today, when we say
the United States, we mean fifty

3
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:34,920
of them, all the way from
Florida to Alaska, from Maine to Hawaii.

4
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:39,719
It's hard to remember that a little
over a century ago there were only

5
00:00:39,799 --> 00:00:45,119
thirty five states, most of them
east of the Mississippi River. Even our

6
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:50,159
most devastating war, the Civil War
or the War between the States, was

7
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:55,679
fought in only half of our land
area. The rest was still wilderness,

8
00:00:56,280 --> 00:01:00,200
split into territories like the Northwest,
the Louisiana and the one where our story

9
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:07,480
takes place, the Colorado Territory.
Play them back, Baba fasi A hold

10
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:17,439
up, which side comes a fool? You're in my ways too late,

11
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:21,680
mister Randol. He's called a pitcher
rats. You might as well give up

12
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:34,920
or get your heads shot off.
Our mystery dramma, The Finger of God

13
00:01:34,439 --> 00:01:40,760
was written especially for the Mystery Theater
by Ian Martin and stars Christopher Kabori.

14
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:56,200
I'll be back shortly with that one. Don't look for the town of Brush

15
00:01:56,280 --> 00:02:00,280
Mound, Colorado on the map.
You won't find it. It's long thence

16
00:02:00,359 --> 00:02:05,879
gone erased by an interstate highway.
But although there wasn't all that much of

17
00:02:05,879 --> 00:02:09,520
it to begin with in eighteen sixty, it was pretty important to the cowhands,

18
00:02:09,599 --> 00:02:15,000
the cattlemen, and a scattering of
a local farmers. All the commerce

19
00:02:15,039 --> 00:02:20,439
of the region was conducted there because
J. B. Randall owned everything you

20
00:02:20,479 --> 00:02:24,039
could see from horseback in any direction. He also owned the local store,

21
00:02:24,199 --> 00:02:30,319
the bank, and what's more important, everyone who traded there. J.

22
00:02:30,479 --> 00:02:35,599
B. Randall was an emperor,
and next to his town, his proudest

23
00:02:35,599 --> 00:02:49,240
possession was his daughter Carrie by midnight
listening for something, Jed, Jed,

24
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,120
are you here too? Midnight?
All right, Jed, I'm here,

25
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:02,319
perhap? Where do you write a
piece? I'm not over here in this

26
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:08,960
little clearer. Oh carry I thought
you were never coming. I shouldn't heaven.

27
00:03:09,039 --> 00:03:12,960
I can only stay a minute,
I said, I was just going

28
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,199
for a short canter. Once I
got behind the tree line, I lit

29
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:20,039
out to this place. All that
matters is you're here. No, Tad,

30
00:03:20,159 --> 00:03:25,439
don't that that's over? What do
you mean over? I mean you

31
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:29,599
and me? Hold him? Why
did you send for me to meet you

32
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,639
here today? To tell you and
to ask him not to make any trouble

33
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:39,080
Carrie that you ain't afraid of me. I'm afraid for you. You mean

34
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:43,319
your father. He'd have you gunned
down if you tried to stop it.

35
00:03:43,719 --> 00:03:46,599
Oh, I'm not afraid of J. B. Randall? Oh what do

36
00:03:46,639 --> 00:03:53,479
you mean? Try to stop?
I'm going to be married when Saturday?

37
00:03:53,599 --> 00:04:00,199
Who on a durned carry? To
who he pulling a pull? That's that

38
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,759
fat old horn toad. He's old
enough to be your father. Carry?

39
00:04:04,199 --> 00:04:09,280
Now you can't, Chad, I
got to I'm promised by your father.

40
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,639
It isn't you carry? And you
couldn't do that? What difference does it

41
00:04:14,719 --> 00:04:17,000
make? It's the way it's gonna
be. I won't let it happen.

42
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,600
You can't stop it? Well,
you could run away with me? Where

43
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:25,279
my brother, Rusty and me?
Now we've been talking about pulling upstakes?

44
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,959
Anyways? How far do you think
we? Dad? My daddy just have

45
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,079
us hunted down and kill you and
Rusty and drag me home. Don't you

46
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,040
love me enough to take a chance. I love you too much to take

47
00:04:35,079 --> 00:04:39,240
a chance in your life. What
life am I ever going to have without

48
00:04:39,319 --> 00:04:43,319
you? There's gotta be a way
to carry, no doubt, and it

49
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,079
just ain't meant for us. No, I'm never gonna let you get away

50
00:04:46,079 --> 00:04:50,240
from me, no way you can
hold on to me the way things are.

51
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:57,279
I love you. But like I
said in the beginning, that's over.

52
00:05:03,439 --> 00:05:06,560
Well. You never really had a
chance, little brother. You knew

53
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:11,079
where Pappy would never let her hitch
up with no small account trash like us.

54
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:15,560
We're not small account trash rusting on
JB. Randall's spread. We are,

55
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:16,959
don't you ever forget it. Our
family is just as good as his.

56
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:24,920
Maybe whole trouble is we ain't as
rich so far. What does that

57
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,839
mean? I've been studying something about
us, little brother, and we got

58
00:05:28,879 --> 00:05:30,680
some cash money put by, but
it ain't more and could buy us a

59
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:35,079
poky little homesteaders land. What we
want to get us is at least a

60
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:39,879
section and enough cattle to stuck it. We ain't got that kind of money,

61
00:05:40,439 --> 00:05:45,959
no, but old JB has,
and I figured he ooze us a

62
00:05:45,959 --> 00:05:49,160
little of it. What far?
Lots of reasons of fir stuff. You're

63
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:54,720
too young maybe to remember, But
he squeezed our pappy off his own land

64
00:05:54,800 --> 00:06:00,319
right here in brush mound on that
I'll never believe it was injuns Bushwhackball was

65
00:06:00,439 --> 00:06:06,160
Jab's hired hands. Now he's cut
his daughter off from you enough reasons to

66
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:11,199
believe he owes us little somethin Don't
you think the only thing we get free

67
00:06:11,199 --> 00:06:14,079
out of him is a bullet in
the back, the only thing we get.

68
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:18,279
But haw's about what we just take. Shouldn't every Gale come with her

69
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:23,199
dowry? What are you talkin'?
Well, you know what I'm talking now.

70
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:27,279
J be foreclosed on poor old Piedmont
and is buyin em out. Now.

71
00:06:27,319 --> 00:06:30,160
You're ridin in to lead Thale tomorrow
by coach, so you can sit

72
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,079
shotgun. I'm the way back.
We're bringing back strong box cash on the

73
00:06:33,079 --> 00:06:36,319
barrelhead to pay off all the Piedmont
ranch hands and all the other debts.

74
00:06:36,879 --> 00:06:41,839
You're ridin' shotgun. So when I
turn up with my mask and haul you

75
00:06:41,959 --> 00:06:46,199
down, you make sure the driver
don't reach for his gun. We're gonna

76
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,120
rob the stage. It's too risky. We can't get away with it in

77
00:06:49,199 --> 00:06:54,720
his territory. Don't be too sure
to follow us if he's able. It's

78
00:06:54,759 --> 00:06:57,800
a big country out there on to
the west. Yeah, but there's so

79
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:01,560
few ways we can pass over the
mountains. That's my ace in the hole.

80
00:07:01,759 --> 00:07:05,720
What's like our luck was running right? Know who I just run into

81
00:07:05,759 --> 00:07:11,079
when I was picking up from town
Lone Beaver. He brought in a pack

82
00:07:11,079 --> 00:07:14,759
of pelts and unloaded him. He's
headed back up north again, Chad boy,

83
00:07:15,199 --> 00:07:17,240
he is just what we need.
I know you and he are old

84
00:07:17,279 --> 00:07:21,160
friends, but I had that old
injun is. One man knows this country

85
00:07:21,199 --> 00:07:25,480
like the back of your hand.
Now he's got trails through the forests and

86
00:07:25,639 --> 00:07:29,439
up over the mountains no white man
knows about. And he owes me one

87
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:35,360
favor. He's got to repay his
life. He's our passport to safety with

88
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:41,079
Jabe's money and his daughter. I
just don't know about robbing the stage.

89
00:07:41,319 --> 00:07:57,199
Look, you want Carrie Randall for
your wife, don't you? Hey,

90
00:07:57,279 --> 00:08:01,480
Chad, Chad, you up fair
boy? Hear me, I ain't,

91
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:05,079
mister Randall. I hope you see
you better in your hand. You keep

92
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:09,399
your eyes peeled. Good on that
shotgun. Cook. This teacher is going

93
00:08:09,519 --> 00:08:13,879
right on fruit and in one chance
to stuff and you give him both barrels

94
00:08:13,879 --> 00:08:18,920
before you ask. Why, yes, sir, you can have done,

95
00:08:18,959 --> 00:08:20,959
mister Randall, horse, I am
you. No one ever go anywhere on

96
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:30,800
armed. Why. I just want
to make sure second, Hold up?

97
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:35,360
What's going on? Which side is
he on? Hot? And I missed

98
00:08:35,399 --> 00:08:39,480
him? Footh bells? What are
you climbing down for? Get away from

99
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,120
the door, boy, I can't
get a shot at him. Look out,

100
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,639
I'm coming in before he shoots me. You watch out? Your comes

101
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:48,039
in food? Or isn't the way? I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I

102
00:08:48,039 --> 00:08:52,039
lost my phone cut out of my
hand. Where is it? I think

103
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:56,080
I went under the seat. All
right, I'm on down. Get me

104
00:08:56,279 --> 00:09:01,399
the gun. Where it is you
inside? Listen close here, I got

105
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:05,519
a cat a powder in my hand
with a short view. Now y'all climb

106
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:07,679
out. Every hand in the four? I chatter three or I'm not in

107
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:11,879
the fuse and talked it in there. Better do as he says. Five?

108
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,639
My gun, I think I think
when we come to a full stop,

109
00:09:13,639 --> 00:09:18,279
it fell out the door. Due. Take it easy. We're coming

110
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:26,440
out, that's right, and keep
your hands up. Anyone else in there?

111
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:30,919
No, okay, I don't know
who you are, but if you

112
00:09:31,039 --> 00:09:33,240
know who I am, you know
you can't get away with us. I

113
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:37,360
know you are, all right,
mister Randall. That's the reason I stopped

114
00:09:37,399 --> 00:09:41,840
you. You got a strong box
inside there. But I want after I've

115
00:09:41,919 --> 00:09:46,799
tied you up. Yeah, come
on, it's all of us. Just

116
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:50,519
loosey over that tree there, Touch
that money and I'll have a posse after

117
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:54,279
your I don't lynch you for shure. I hold this town, I hold

118
00:09:54,279 --> 00:09:58,879
the sheriff and I am and you
have a big mouth. You don't shut

119
00:09:58,879 --> 00:10:09,799
it for yourself. I will now
move May's here. I got all the

120
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,720
money snugg as he pleased, my
saddle bags. Wasn't much of a luck

121
00:10:13,799 --> 00:10:16,039
on the box. Blew it off
the free shot. You won't get far

122
00:10:16,159 --> 00:10:20,600
with that money. No, I
don't know. It's coming on dark already.

123
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:26,240
It might be quite a piece before
anyone comes across. You just wanted

124
00:10:26,279 --> 00:10:37,360
to say thanks and so long.
Yeah, I'll catch up with your dad.

125
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:41,600
Can you get your hands loose?
Not yet, but I'm working on

126
00:10:41,639 --> 00:10:43,639
it. What about the driver,
he's still out, sir? Dead who

127
00:10:43,759 --> 00:10:46,039
no, no, no, sir, just just a lump on his head,

128
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:52,039
Russ, I mean the rustler.
The rustler must have knocked him out.

129
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:56,360
Would you tell me just what to
Sam Hill? Happened? Well,

130
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:58,960
a fellow came out of the trees
behind us. I took a shot at

131
00:11:00,639 --> 00:11:03,639
but he came around the other side
of the stage, so my second shot

132
00:11:03,639 --> 00:11:07,519
missed him too. I'll come.
The driver didn't fire when I reached over

133
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,279
him to take my second shot.
Well, I reckon, I must have

134
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:13,039
knocked the gun out of his hand. Shame as you did with me.

135
00:11:13,159 --> 00:11:16,080
Whose sight are you all? Oh? I'm you're sir? You're worrying tarnation?

136
00:11:16,159 --> 00:11:18,519
Did you have to come down off
the box? Well, I fell.

137
00:11:18,519 --> 00:11:22,159
I was shooting that man, and
I thought if I could get your

138
00:11:22,159 --> 00:11:24,840
gun, we might have a chance
to get a turn. And it comes

139
00:11:24,879 --> 00:11:26,960
a young fool. I'll take care
of you later. First off, let's

140
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:41,240
get loose and get after that secret. Yes, who is it? It's

141
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:45,879
Chad's brother, Miss Randall rusty?
What do you want? I gotta talk

142
00:11:45,919 --> 00:11:48,480
to you so mighty important? Could
you come on out a minute? What's

143
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:52,720
so important? I can't tell you
here. It's about Chad. I'll meet

144
00:11:52,759 --> 00:12:01,120
you down by the barn. But
I can't away with Chad. You don't

145
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:05,440
love him enough? Of course I
do. That's why I can't. My

146
00:12:05,519 --> 00:12:09,320
daddy wouldn't stand still for it.
Nobody's asking him. He wouldn't be here.

147
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:13,720
He'd track us down. Not the
way we're going if I run,

148
00:12:13,799 --> 00:12:18,600
I can't even bring Chad a dowry. Well, suppose I was to tell

149
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:26,679
you you already have what wows Randalls
of Carrie. I'm gonna put everything right

150
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:30,960
in your hands. Less than an
hour ago I robbed the stage or Paul

151
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,320
was on, and I got the
money he was carrying in my saddle bags.

152
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,840
I talked Chad into going along with
it because it was the only chance

153
00:12:37,879 --> 00:12:41,320
he could have to have you.
That's all he wants in this world.

154
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:45,320
That's what you meant by my dowry. That's about it, ma'am. But

155
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:50,000
now more'n ever JB will be after
us, not more'n ever carry JB.

156
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:54,960
Randall's got two things rules his life, you and money. Whether we got

157
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,440
one or both, he's still going
to be after us. I'm just asking

158
00:12:58,519 --> 00:13:03,919
you side you want to be on
the hunted or the hunter her? To

159
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:09,039
put it another way, how much
do you love my little brother Chad?

160
00:13:09,519 --> 00:13:18,759
Oh? The girl faces the intense
young man before her, her pupils wide

161
00:13:18,799 --> 00:13:22,399
in the dark stable, not only
against the light but the enormity of her

162
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:30,559
decision. Does she dare feed her
father's fury or have Rusty and Chad already

163
00:13:30,639 --> 00:13:33,600
driven J. B. Randall so
far that the dye is cast anyway,

164
00:13:33,879 --> 00:13:39,200
and she might as well risk all
for love. I shall return shortly with

165
00:13:39,399 --> 00:13:54,840
that too. In the steadily darkening
night, her ears attuned to the familiar

166
00:13:54,879 --> 00:14:00,399
sounds of the stable and her home, Carrie Randall is wrestling in her mind

167
00:14:00,919 --> 00:14:05,679
with an enormous decision to hang on
to her protected and sheltered life or to

168
00:14:05,799 --> 00:14:11,440
run with the man she loves,
knowing that he, at least in the

169
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:16,159
eyes of the law, is an
outlaw worst of all. But circumstances dictate

170
00:14:16,639 --> 00:14:24,279
she cannot make the decision directly.
She must make it secondhand. Why isn't

171
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,559
Chad here to ask me himself?
What's the way I told you carry?

172
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:31,519
He had to have some protection when
we rubbed the stage. He's out there

173
00:14:31,559 --> 00:14:35,159
tied up with your daddy and the
driver. Then how do we go together?

174
00:14:35,799 --> 00:14:37,679
Whatever you decide, I take off
from here to a meeting place.

175
00:14:39,159 --> 00:14:41,159
Chad's going to join me there,
I hope. Then I'm coming Ricky,

176
00:14:41,279 --> 00:14:46,080
Rusty, No matter what, how
do we manage it? Chad can get

177
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:50,360
out of the roops anytime he wants. We figured he'd wait till dusk anyways,

178
00:14:50,679 --> 00:14:54,559
unless someone comes across him, and
that could make it a little tight.

179
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,480
As soon as your Paul gets back
here, you know he's going to

180
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,799
round up a posset to go track
the robber. He doesn't know it was

181
00:15:01,879 --> 00:15:03,639
you. No, I had a
gunnysack over my head and a horse cut

182
00:15:03,679 --> 00:15:07,960
from the range. Chances are he
wouldn't know who I am. So how's

183
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:11,440
he going to track you? Soft
or hard? Underfoot, clear prairies or

184
00:15:11,519 --> 00:15:16,559
thick woods. Anyone on horseback leaves
some kind of trail. But once Daddy

185
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:20,440
is freed, how can we get
away? That's when we've got our cans.

186
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,120
Now. I laid a straight trail
from where I left them, tied

187
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:28,120
up to the southwest until I got
the hard jail and could circle back.

188
00:15:28,759 --> 00:15:35,879
You, me and Chad are going
northwest. But but you can't. You'd

189
00:15:35,879 --> 00:15:39,879
have to go straight up over all
Baldy. That's right. There's no way

190
00:15:39,919 --> 00:15:43,320
anyone can pick his way across there. Above the tree line. There's an

191
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,200
old engine way. Carrie and I
got the man who's gonna lead us over

192
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:50,720
it. We make it. We're
gonna get lost eventually in the Vada Territory,

193
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:54,279
and when we do, there ain't
nobody, not even your pap.

194
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:58,799
He's gonna find us there. Where
do I meet you? When? And

195
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,480
what do I bring? Will you
be ready? From hearing? Chad knows

196
00:16:03,519 --> 00:16:07,159
where to rendezvous with me. We
can't bring much more in a good horse

197
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:11,440
gear in yourself, not even a
waiting gown if it can fit in your

198
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:17,039
saddle bags. Oh russy, Am
I doing the right thing? Carrie?

199
00:16:17,879 --> 00:16:22,279
You are Chad's whole world. I
just hope I don't bring it tumbling about

200
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:32,240
his ears. No, my hands
are tired, for sure. I can't

201
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:36,919
budge this rode, can you,
Chad? Yes, sir, mister Randall,

202
00:16:36,919 --> 00:16:40,639
I think I just got I think
I just if I got my hands,

203
00:16:40,639 --> 00:16:42,200
Freeman, work at it. Boy. I don't want that, no

204
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:48,840
good seeping pull cat, the cold
trailers. I want his hide, Chad,

205
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:53,679
Yes, sir, if you were
you know this? Anything familiar about

206
00:16:53,679 --> 00:16:57,320
that gun manner? Familiar? Mister
Randall, you think you might have been

207
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:00,759
someone you ever saw before? We
had a sack over his head? How

208
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,640
could I tell her? His shape, his boys, the way he moved

209
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:07,400
around. Couldn't you tell if if
you might have known him? No,

210
00:17:07,559 --> 00:17:11,440
ser, mister RANDALYI hasha couldn't tell
no way more I'd think on it.

211
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,920
He had to be summoned from around
here, someone who knew I was bringing

212
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:19,519
in that cash. Money today,
Well I'm loose. You don't have to

213
00:17:19,519 --> 00:17:22,359
study on that anymore. Let me
entire you, sir head. Come on,

214
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:26,519
boy, just get me my hands
pretty so I can get them on

215
00:17:26,599 --> 00:17:37,039
the chief. I want you to
run up about twenty good guns and hardest

216
00:17:37,079 --> 00:17:40,640
boys. You got to shoot first
and talk later. You got him,

217
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:44,839
jab, I want this guy,
and I want him bad. Get him

218
00:17:44,839 --> 00:17:48,680
for you. You're getting ride with
us? Sure, aim, Just as

219
00:17:48,680 --> 00:18:00,240
soon as I see my daughter and
tell her what's up rusty as you,

220
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:03,119
Chad, you are a lone.
Where's carrot man? If you worry none,

221
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:07,799
she's right here. Oh carry oh
Chad, my darling. Okay,

222
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,920
love birds, Now there's no time
for that. We got to hit the

223
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:14,640
trail. Now. Wait. First
off, let me make sure you know

224
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,799
what you're getting in to carry.
Hey, you know what you're getting into

225
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:22,119
staying me away from my daddy.
It ain't the first thing we've stolen from

226
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:26,039
him. You forget that money.
It's as much mine as his and you.

227
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:33,759
I'm all yours. I always have
been and always will be well.

228
00:18:33,839 --> 00:18:36,599
Then come on, let's ride on
out. Now where do we meet Lone

229
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:40,880
Beaver rusted by blue Rock right at
the approach to the divide? You sure

230
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:44,119
now we can make it up overall? Bulldy? If Lone Beaver says we

231
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:48,119
can, we'll make it how much
Lee time you figure we have take the

232
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:51,039
passere a good hour to get back
to where I held up the stage.

233
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:53,680
Picking up the trail by dark won't
be so easy. And if they follow

234
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,279
the false one I left, it'll
be another hour till they figure they've been

235
00:18:56,279 --> 00:19:00,640
scumked. And for that it's only
a matter of time till Geb finds Carrie

236
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:14,799
missing. Then the fat'll really be
in the fire chasing sherf. He said,

237
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:18,000
GiB here that the PASSI or ready
to take after here? Hold up,

238
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:22,559
man, I forget him right now? My daughter is missing, and

239
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:26,359
so is that no good ranch hand
of mine. Chad Roberts and his brother

240
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:30,400
Rusty I gotta hunch on being sidewinded
here? Well come here? How come?

241
00:19:30,839 --> 00:19:34,559
Because only someone here on the spread
knew I was bringing in that money

242
00:19:34,599 --> 00:19:38,720
today? And how come Chad missed
two shots at the robber and knocked the

243
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,160
gun out of the driver's hand,
to say nothing of the gun out of

244
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:45,160
mine? How come Carrie has been
taken on? So about a good marriage

245
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,440
I arranged for her? I won't
tell you. I can see the whole

246
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:53,599
thing right now. I've been taken
taking for a sucker. I knew there

247
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:59,000
was something familiar about that hold up
man. I'd swear now on a stack

248
00:19:59,039 --> 00:20:03,599
of bibles. It was Rusty Roberts, and he and has no count brother

249
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:07,599
have taken off not only my money
but my carry with him. We've been

250
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:11,960
to get after him. Sure as
where sheriff. I don't care where they

251
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:18,440
went, north, southeast or west. I want them Roberts brothers tracked down

252
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:29,480
and spread eagod in the desert,
or hang from the nearest tree. Come

253
00:20:29,519 --> 00:20:30,920
on, Chad, we got to
keep moving to make our round. I

254
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:33,759
who would lone beaver? We got
to stop a minute with the water of

255
00:20:33,839 --> 00:20:37,920
the horses and carry's horse. He
has pulled up lame. I hope he

256
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,920
didn't throw a shoe. I don't
think so. He probably just picked up

257
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:45,039
a pebble. Holding a minute till
I climb off the seat. And don't

258
00:20:45,039 --> 00:20:47,359
you waste any time, Chad.
We ain't got that much of it.

259
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,440
How I won't. I just want
to. Oh, well, he's a

260
00:20:49,519 --> 00:20:53,440
Chad, he's right feisty, must
be hurting him. Knocked me right,

261
00:20:56,559 --> 00:21:02,640
a wrettler. Where is he?
You see him? And run on top

262
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:06,200
of him? Doing anyone moved to
him? Out of rain? I don't

263
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:10,960
want to. Oh damn, he
struck me? Where is that sentiment?

264
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:14,799
No, no, you can't.
You can't see the shoot. It's truly

265
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:18,839
rusty. He got me home,
He got me, but good head where

266
00:21:18,839 --> 00:21:25,880
spat in the thigh? Get your
knife, rusty. We gotta get that

267
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:36,240
poison out of me. He still
got his trail. Jason had beat it

268
00:21:36,279 --> 00:21:41,480
out and the shild could have gone
any which way. And I know which

269
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:45,240
that was a false cent sheriff.
He must have doubled back to kidnap my

270
00:21:45,319 --> 00:21:48,920
daughter. And then him and Chad
made a blitter where you reckon? They're

271
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:53,079
headed for it, and I was
a My spread covers easiest north and south.

272
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:57,960
If they didn't go southwest, it's
got to be northwest where it did

273
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:03,279
end. No way through the range. You're over old baldy mane still is.

274
00:22:03,319 --> 00:22:07,480
That's the way they went. And
if they ever get across the mountains,

275
00:22:07,519 --> 00:22:10,119
we'll never find him. We gotta
make all the time we can.

276
00:22:14,599 --> 00:22:18,279
Oh, Oh, all right,
Chad Darling, All right, Rusty got

277
00:22:18,319 --> 00:22:22,720
all the poison out. I gotta
get I gotta get on my horse,

278
00:22:22,839 --> 00:22:26,359
move out. You just rest him
in a Chad will be good time.

279
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:32,119
Um, Carrie, what is it? Come over here where I can talk

280
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:40,079
to you. What is it?
Rusty? He's not going to I ain't

281
00:22:40,079 --> 00:22:44,759
gonna beat around the bush. That
rattler stuck him. But good, didn't

282
00:22:44,759 --> 00:22:47,599
you get all the poison carry out
to cut him? I sucked out all

283
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:49,599
I could, but that old diamond
back bent straight into the big archery.

284
00:22:51,519 --> 00:22:56,119
We gotta get him. Help right
soon. If if anyone can help Chad,

285
00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:00,519
it's Lone Beaver. So let's get
hit on his horse and get to

286
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,599
him. He's in too much pain
to ride if the trip could kill him.

287
00:23:04,279 --> 00:23:08,200
Now look, I'm gonna hide you
two back among the rocks, cover

288
00:23:08,279 --> 00:23:11,960
up any trail we leave. Then
I'm going on with all three horses.

289
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,759
So if your pappy gets here with
his hired guns, he won't think to

290
00:23:15,759 --> 00:23:18,599
stop. Leave us here alone,
only long enough to get Lone Beaver and

291
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:22,319
bring him on back to fixed.
Chad. Now someone's got to stay with

292
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:26,119
him. Keep cold, calm presses
on that bag, and I'll make better

293
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:29,960
time alone, even meeting the horses. He's doing nothing I can do.

294
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,480
Just keep that wound as cold as
he can so the poison doesn't spread,

295
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:40,480
and carry pray. Most of all, just let him see you, to

296
00:23:40,559 --> 00:23:48,319
give him the best reason he has
for living. Aren't you got thy Jason?

297
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:52,880
The scout find it's cut on a
scrub roat by the trail. Recognize

298
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:57,400
it? Give it here. I
that's a piece of a saddle blanket I

299
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:02,319
gave Carrie last Christmas. We're on
the trail, all right. Come on,

300
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:10,640
let's keep moment reading. My brother, lone Beaver? Where are you?

301
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:15,440
Where? My back is safe from
white man and my enemy from no

302
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:21,680
enemy. I'm your brother, I
come in peace, Lone Beaver, trust

303
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:26,519
rusty? But where are your companion? A diamond backbit? My brother Chad,

304
00:24:26,759 --> 00:24:32,680
he's in bad shape. The girls
stayed unt attending. Where are you?

305
00:24:32,839 --> 00:24:37,000
The other are not with you?
Do you still wish to cross mountain

306
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:41,599
that? We can't till my brother
Chad's ready to travel. I'll followed.

307
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:47,480
It's not yet, sooner or later
the white man have no medicine to cool

308
00:24:48,079 --> 00:24:52,640
rattler piland. You'll think, lone
beaver, come do that. I know

309
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:56,799
they're Indian remedies for it. I'm
I'm asking you to use him, you

310
00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:03,440
as much my brother in blood.
I oh you my life in the Indian

311
00:25:03,519 --> 00:25:08,759
way. That mean you on mine. But how to save your brother is

312
00:25:08,839 --> 00:25:15,240
not easy? We garter make the
trive. Is there some medicine only the

313
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:22,279
mudstone? But first it must be
found where the mudstone grow only in or

314
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:26,920
bidden valley. Well, let's go
get it, only if great spirits say

315
00:25:26,319 --> 00:25:30,400
it may be allow'd. Oh why
wouldn't it be? That is not for

316
00:25:30,559 --> 00:25:36,519
lone beaver to say, your brother, my brother with all his heart,

317
00:25:37,319 --> 00:25:42,240
lone beaver wish to save him.
Where is this valley? The sun riseth

318
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:48,920
now one hour from here. We
must pray for all sime to be right,

319
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:56,680
or else your brother will be beyond
our reach in the great hunting ground.

320
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:07,039
The mad stone it is no fiction. The stone exists, whether whole

321
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:11,920
or ground down to a powder placed
on the site of a snake bite.

322
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:17,759
It's astringent action tends to restrict the
spread of the poison. Even President Lincoln

323
00:26:17,759 --> 00:26:21,400
believed in its efficacy enough so that
he took his son Robert to be treated

324
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:25,519
with it for a dog bite.
But the question here is a little more

325
00:26:25,519 --> 00:26:30,160
complicated. It is not only will
it heal Chad Roberts, but can it

326
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:36,440
be found? And if found in
time? I shall return shortly with Act

327
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:49,319
three. Hidden in a natural rock
formation, half cave, half hollow,

328
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:55,559
screened by heavy undergrowth, Carrie tries
to assuage the agony of the man she

329
00:26:55,680 --> 00:27:00,960
loves. Chad is running a high
fever, racked by the press poison in

330
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:04,839
his veins. Ahead of them,
Rusty and Lone Beaver are attempting to find

331
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:10,319
something to save child life. Behind
them, J. B. Randall and

332
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:15,279
his gunmen are on the trail to
end it more suddenly and simply, and

333
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:21,680
the morning sun is rising. I
can't figure where they're heading for Sheriff,

334
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:25,559
can you then us have? It's
got me puzzled. Once we get up

335
00:27:25,599 --> 00:27:29,519
beyond the tree line, there's nowhere
to go but straight up over all body.

336
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,519
I don't know any place even a
mountain goat could cross the head.

337
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:37,359
Only other way to go Stoneberry.
That's a pure dead end. Isn't a

338
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:41,319
turns you pass in basin in the
rocks? He always out unless she can

339
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:45,319
fly. Why would anyone want to
head for there? It got me,

340
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:51,720
mister Annall, please always give me
the willies that it was a tomb stole

341
00:27:51,839 --> 00:27:55,880
them echoes every time he even so
much as a whisper. If it's a

342
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:59,640
good sign, if we can bottle
em up there, that's just when I'm

343
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:03,480
gonna make it for those Robert brothers
once we catch up with him. A

344
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:15,799
tomb Come on, let's tell them. Oh chat, chat, honey,

345
00:28:15,839 --> 00:28:22,240
what hot burning up? You got
some water? It isn't good for you

346
00:28:22,279 --> 00:28:26,119
to drink it. You gotta keep
it up for the compresses. Where's rusted?

347
00:28:26,279 --> 00:28:30,480
He's going to get long beaver?
Why do you leave us behind?

348
00:28:30,039 --> 00:28:34,599
We gotta press on. We can't. Why not hush? Now? Don't

349
00:28:34,599 --> 00:28:41,119
you remember you you're hurt him.
I'm hurting all right for what it was.

350
00:28:41,799 --> 00:28:52,319
Oh yes, now I remember the
rattler. I had no right to

351
00:28:52,480 --> 00:29:02,160
hit him. Here, jabe stop. Yeah, water hole actually pretty fresh.

352
00:29:02,319 --> 00:29:06,480
I can sit here and yeah they
took off or dawn. Yeah,

353
00:29:06,519 --> 00:29:08,759
you can see where the mud started
to kick up with the sun beat night.

354
00:29:10,839 --> 00:29:15,279
He crossed the stream, all right, tracks on the other side.

355
00:29:17,319 --> 00:29:21,400
Three horses, We're out. On
the trail. All right, all right,

356
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:25,440
didn't move. I want those two
boys so bad I can taste it.

357
00:29:26,319 --> 00:29:33,000
Did you hear, Chad? Yeah? I heard? Oh Carrie,

358
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:37,880
what have I done to you?
We should have called out stopping? How

359
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:45,880
are you crazy? Was the one
was crazy? I don't deserve you,

360
00:29:48,079 --> 00:30:04,160
no wish? And now what's gonna
happen to us? Yes, the too

361
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:10,200
bare rock there are entrance to forbidden
Valley. Oh, come on, let's

362
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:15,200
go. I go no farther.
But I've got to find a maidstone for

363
00:30:15,279 --> 00:30:19,240
my brother. I will tell you, but you must search alone. Why

364
00:30:19,359 --> 00:30:25,960
this is my God? I must
not anger him. I would pray that

365
00:30:26,079 --> 00:30:30,240
he smile on you. But how
can I find this stone? You will

366
00:30:30,359 --> 00:30:36,359
hunt? It is gray and crumbled
easily to powder. If you break part

367
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:41,119
of it on hard rock and put
it in your mouth, it will clean

368
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:45,480
there, drawing blood. You will
know it if you find it on beaver.

369
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,720
I haven't time to spend hunting.
My brother is dying. You have

370
00:30:49,839 --> 00:30:55,240
to help me find it. We
could both die if we enter. Why

371
00:30:55,519 --> 00:31:02,279
when his only way out we could
be dropped. Well we'll take that chance.

372
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:11,079
Come on from now on? Better
hold talk? Why we are not

373
00:31:11,359 --> 00:31:18,799
alone. Who else is here?
The dead? We must not disturb the

374
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:25,160
answers us. This is a barreograph. Here lie the ashes of my triumph.

375
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:29,599
Bon beavery night. You can't wake
the day a day a day a

376
00:31:29,839 --> 00:31:42,200
day. I warn you on let
the dead to daddy. Oh, we

377
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:47,119
shouldn't let the horses. If JB
in his possy catch up with us,

378
00:31:47,119 --> 00:31:51,960
we are dead men, dead or
alive. We are only men. Where

379
00:31:52,119 --> 00:31:56,480
is this man? Stone? Patience, my brother? If it were easy

380
00:31:56,519 --> 00:32:09,240
to find, why would it have
magic? Suff you're something sure they went

381
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:13,920
into this valley, he said,
Jabe anywhere else? It turned to the

382
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,400
left tracks. All right, then
let's go get em. Ain't no need,

383
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:21,480
mister Randall. All as we got
to do is wait for him to

384
00:32:21,519 --> 00:32:23,079
come out. Now what does that
mean? Well, it's here, valley,

385
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:28,839
sheer rock, ain't a miter shade
or water under this sun? How

386
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:34,160
long could a man last? And
the engines call it the forbidden Valley.

387
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:37,400
We got a better name. We
call it the stone bottle. Is once

388
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:42,079
you get in it, there's only
one way out. But they could hold

389
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:45,720
up there and left the dark and
maybe slip by us. No way.

390
00:32:45,079 --> 00:32:51,720
It's maybe hundred and twenty degrees in
this sun. They can't afford to wait

391
00:32:51,799 --> 00:33:00,240
for dark. Ah, I have
it the madstone. You'll see the God

392
00:33:00,559 --> 00:33:04,400
smile on us. Then let's get
back to the horses and get out of

393
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:16,440
here, rusted, where have you? Where? We give up up?

394
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:22,240
Now, Beaver? What are we
gonna do? Are you sure? There's

395
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:25,839
no other way out? No other
way? This is judgment of Great Spirit.

396
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:30,279
He is a kind god. Why
should he move against us? How

397
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:37,079
can I say there's no other way
out? Not unless he can help us

398
00:33:37,319 --> 00:33:45,640
or send us. So what is
it? Maybe a sign? Because I

399
00:33:45,799 --> 00:33:52,880
pray to him with all my heart? What happens to Son? I don't

400
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:57,880
know? He said a cloud?
A cloud? Only shadow? Sun?

401
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:06,880
Ah, my ancestor ten of this, of the coming of the Great Bear

402
00:34:07,119 --> 00:34:12,440
who swallow the sun. Look how
he has bitten at it already. You're

403
00:34:12,559 --> 00:34:17,960
right, it's like something was eating
it. The Great Spirit punish me because

404
00:34:19,039 --> 00:34:23,039
i've bodied a double Oh, he's
not punishing you or us. He's helping

405
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:29,280
you. See I've read about this. We call it him eclipse or something,

406
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:32,280
and it's total. The sun will
be covered, so it'll look like

407
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:37,440
night. That way we can slip
by him and get back and save my

408
00:34:37,559 --> 00:34:47,840
brother Jef. What the sam Hill's
going on here? Which the post jab

409
00:34:49,599 --> 00:34:52,719
they don't took on? What for? You see what's happening to the sun.

410
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:55,519
They don't like you. They better
like it to buy Harry. They'll

411
00:34:55,559 --> 00:34:59,800
find out they should have. You
can't blame him. So much is down.

412
00:35:00,039 --> 00:35:04,960
It's superstitious. Nobody likes this here
Valley and the others, and nobody

413
00:35:05,119 --> 00:35:07,599
wants much to be caught on this
mountain after darl you said we wouldn't have

414
00:35:07,639 --> 00:35:12,280
to wait till then. But look
what's happened to the shop? All adult

415
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:15,199
pass It's only the moon getting in
front of it or something. They call

416
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:17,599
it an eclipse. I'm going to
tell you something, mister Randall. You

417
00:35:17,639 --> 00:35:21,639
can call it what you want,
but in my book, it's a judgment

418
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:24,800
of God. I've never seen anything
like it. And don't tell me you

419
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:28,880
here, of course not, but
I've read about it well. I don't

420
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:32,320
live by no books, just by
hard, hard sense. I'm joining the

421
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:35,320
rest of the boys. How are
you a fool? Where are you going?

422
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:37,679
Away from you? I got enough
to answer for without staying by you

423
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:50,039
and riding my way straight down into
hell. Come by carry it right here,

424
00:35:50,079 --> 00:35:53,920
honey. Oh, it's hard to
see it. I must be real

425
00:35:54,000 --> 00:36:00,199
bad off. It's not you too, darling. It's like twelve highlights and

426
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:06,800
getting darker. I know what's happening. Don't feel like a storm. I

427
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:12,199
don't know for sure, Chad,
I think it's any clear for what it's

428
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:15,159
where the moon gets in front of
the sun and rots it out. How

429
00:36:15,199 --> 00:36:21,119
can that happen? I can't explain
it scientifically anyways, It's not how I

430
00:36:21,199 --> 00:36:24,719
read it. I don't follow.
I think this is a sign from God,

431
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:29,639
and I don't think my daddy,
cruel and vindictive as he is,

432
00:36:30,079 --> 00:36:38,199
can stand against it. Are we
nearly there? Yes, we are ready

433
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:44,400
to leave forbidden body in hurry.
The sun's about ready to come out again.

434
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:49,559
Just hold a night there and in
and you're rusty. I got you

435
00:36:49,639 --> 00:36:53,599
in the sights. You'll make one
move, I promise one dead man,

436
00:36:54,039 --> 00:36:59,280
if not the bother of you,
you'll go, rusty. I come an

437
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:04,599
unfollow, but I said I owe
you my life. Go save your brother,

438
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:07,639
Chad. Go. We are two
against one, but he is hidden

439
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:22,639
and we are in open. Oh, Chad, Jerry, it's me Rusty.

440
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:25,119
Oh, thank the Lord, you're
here. With the sun blot it

441
00:37:25,159 --> 00:37:30,199
out like that. It's for a
crazy time first and last eclips I ever

442
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:34,280
hope to live through. It's over
by now. How's Jad? Not so

443
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:37,960
good? Where's lone Beaver? I
don't know. All as I do know

444
00:37:37,119 --> 00:37:40,719
is I got the Madstone. I
gotta found the rock to powdered. Get

445
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:49,119
it on Chad's wound fast as we
can. How you feeling that Chad?

446
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:54,159
Tolerable? Brother? Rusty? I'm
weak, but that old madstone just sucked

447
00:37:54,159 --> 00:37:59,679
the fever right out, just like
the lone Beaver said? Where is he?

448
00:38:00,159 --> 00:38:04,119
I don't know. Let's getting close
on to real dark. I'll be

449
00:38:04,159 --> 00:38:09,960
back by now, unless unless what
I han't mean to worry about. The

450
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:14,440
main thing is you lick that rattles
sting? Now? What is it?

451
00:38:15,559 --> 00:38:24,079
Listen? Lone Beaver? Yes,
miss Randolph, who's daddying a saddle horn?

452
00:38:25,079 --> 00:38:31,679
Ah? It's daddy Lone Beaver?
Sorry, miss carry it was his

453
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:39,639
life or Rusty or mind? The
great spirit read in the sand. It

454
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:47,559
must be is he's dead? Yes, ma'am. Rusty helped me lift him

455
00:38:47,599 --> 00:38:58,119
down. Okay, what happened?
He stepped out? He had clean shot

456
00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:06,559
at You must be one dead man
better. It's him. I'm sorry,

457
00:39:06,639 --> 00:39:12,519
Carrie, I'm not. He's been
asking for it all his life. What

458
00:39:12,599 --> 00:39:15,519
happened to the posse? Or maybe
the eclipse scare him more? Don't reckon.

459
00:39:15,599 --> 00:39:20,800
Most of them had much heart for
his chase anyway. Now water yeah,

460
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:23,519
j be gone? No, isn't
any more for any of us to

461
00:39:23,559 --> 00:39:30,519
take out? Oh Bieber, I
want to thank you for my life and

462
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:37,360
chance you're dead? Sure is baide
between us? There is no debt my

463
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:44,440
brother. We are still blood brother. I will help you make drour so

464
00:39:44,599 --> 00:39:50,639
you can bring JB home. Then
we say goodbye? Why must you say

465
00:39:50,639 --> 00:39:57,559
goodbye? We go different? Maybe
not? Maybe our path is yours.

466
00:39:58,159 --> 00:40:00,320
Now what are you saying, Carrie? You own the whole spread now.

467
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:05,679
I don't want to live on what
was stolen from others? Why can't I

468
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:08,840
just take what you took from Daddy
as my fair chair, and once with

469
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:14,159
barium the three of us can take
out across the hills of Lone Beaver and

470
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:20,599
starting new life. Chad, would
you like that? I'm just so grateful

471
00:40:20,639 --> 00:40:24,000
to be alive again. It's anything
you say, carry just so long as

472
00:40:24,039 --> 00:40:30,880
you've married me the same. You
know what new Chad what. I don't

473
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:34,599
think it was any old moon that
got in front of the sun and blacked

474
00:40:34,599 --> 00:40:38,519
it out at just the right moment. I think it was God, and

475
00:40:38,639 --> 00:40:43,440
he just took time to reach out
a finger and blot it out long enough

476
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:55,159
to see us all home safe.
The rattler, the viper, the diamondback

477
00:40:55,599 --> 00:41:00,800
calling what you will, is seldom
urged to act, and even then his

478
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:07,000
poison is not as deadly as legend
would allow. Even without the madstone,

479
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:10,679
Chad probably would have recovered, as
indeed he did. The moral of this

480
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:15,400
story, if it must have one, is that people are far more lethal

481
00:41:15,679 --> 00:41:30,480
than any animal. I'll be back
shortly if you like things wrapped up neatly.

482
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:35,679
The marriage of Chad Roberts and Carry
Randall was the event of the season.

483
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:40,400
The matter of the robbery was lost
entirely, since complete restitution was made

484
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:46,440
and the money belonged to the bride
anyway. Sheriff Jason left the county precipitously,

485
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:52,519
and the rest of JB's guns for
hire dispersed easily since there was no

486
00:41:52,599 --> 00:41:58,519
price for their services. The total
eclipse of the sun in this instance reflected

487
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:04,000
the finger of God. Our cast
included Christopher de Borie, Russell Hork and

488
00:42:04,079 --> 00:42:07,880
Catherine Byers and Ian Martin. The
entire production was under the direction of Hyman

489
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:16,199
Brown and now a free view of
our next day. Young man, there

490
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:22,320
is no other way, ah,
so you are all blind. Give me

491
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:27,679
your hand. I would guide it
to the edge of a post of wood

492
00:42:28,119 --> 00:42:31,039
and has always been in the center
of this cave. Can can you feel

493
00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:36,960
it? Yes? I can't.
Now as you move your hand, count

494
00:42:37,079 --> 00:42:44,280
the cuts in the wood. Gone
two, four, five, seven,

495
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:52,039
is gone, gone, twelve,
thirteen, fourteen. Fourteen generations have left

496
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:58,000
del Mark. Fourteen generations have kept
together, farming, weaving, building,

497
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:07,960
all my song and by touch there
is nothing. It's good Lord, this

498
00:43:07,199 --> 00:43:12,760
is the country of the blind.
Missus E. G. Marshall inviting you

499
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:19,719
to return to our Mystery theater for
another adventure in the macabre. Until next

500
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:52,199
time, pleasant dream right,
