1 00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,760 Speaker 1: Come in welcome. 2 00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:26,760 Speaker 2: I'm e. G. Marshall Ciceroni of this guided tour through 3 00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:31,320 the regions of the mysterious and the macabre. Every man 4 00:00:31,559 --> 00:00:35,200 has his price, or so we are told. Some of 5 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:38,359 us may protest that we are not for sale, and 6 00:00:38,679 --> 00:00:41,759 we may even be convinced of it. However, one should 7 00:00:41,759 --> 00:00:45,840 really refrain from making such statements until one is turned 8 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:50,159 down and offer. The cynical view is that human beings 9 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:53,200 are like the stock work. It's merely a matter of 10 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,600 closing the distance between. 11 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 1: The bid and the ask. 12 00:00:58,159 --> 00:01:01,479 Speaker 2: Is there really such a thing as an offer one 13 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:06,040 cannot refuse? That's what the next hour is all about. 14 00:01:06,519 --> 00:01:07,239 What can I do for you? 15 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:07,480 Speaker 3: Man? 16 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 4: I want someone to commit a murder? 17 00:01:11,079 --> 00:01:11,760 Speaker 1: What did you say? 18 00:01:12,799 --> 00:01:15,599 Speaker 2: I believe you heard me, madam. This is a furniture factory. 19 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:16,640 I am the owner. 20 00:01:16,719 --> 00:01:19,319 Speaker 4: I know exactly who you are and what you do. 21 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:21,599 Speaker 2: Why come to me. I'm not a murderer. 22 00:01:21,799 --> 00:01:23,519 Speaker 4: I'm willing to pay a million dollars. 23 00:01:23,879 --> 00:01:26,680 Speaker 2: Murderers against every moral and religious conviction. 24 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 4: I'm willing to pay a million dollars. I would never 25 00:01:29,879 --> 00:01:44,480 I'm willing to pay you one million dollars. 26 00:01:45,159 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 2: Our mystery drama, million dollar Murder was written especially for 27 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:53,680 the Mystery Theater by Sam Dan and stars Mandel Kramer. 28 00:01:54,079 --> 00:01:57,000 It is sponsored in part by All State Insurance Companies 29 00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,319 and True Value Hardware Stories. 30 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 5: We'll be back shortly with that one. 31 00:02:14,879 --> 00:02:20,159 Speaker 1: Luck, as you know, is fortune. Of course, that's good luck. 32 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,439 Speaker 2: On the other hand, we have bad luck. The way 33 00:02:24,479 --> 00:02:28,879 it works, most people average out, which brings us to 34 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,520 the law of averages, which says that over the course 35 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,280 of your lifetime, you can expect. 36 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:36,879 Speaker 1: Luck to break fifty to fifty. 37 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 2: Well, some people can get each fifty percent all at once. 38 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:44,319 Speaker 1: Here we have Richard F. Nelson. 39 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 2: Till recently he's had nothing. 40 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:47,319 Speaker 1: But good luck. 41 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 2: But these past several months he's taken one blow after another. 42 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,400 He's thirty five half his allotted three score and ten 43 00:02:57,319 --> 00:03:00,199 is bad luck to be the pattern for the rest 44 00:03:00,199 --> 00:03:05,800 of his life. Come in, Jerry, not insidam. 45 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 1: Dick? 46 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:08,919 Speaker 4: Uh? 47 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 1: I uh? 48 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,360 Speaker 2: What's the matter?

I taught you everything 54 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,360 you know. I made you my production foreman and my 55 00:03:32,479 --> 00:03:37,759 future to think about. Who are you giving me two weeks?

It's 179 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,879 reached a point now where I know that every day 180 00:09:03,039 --> 00:09:04,639 is going to produce another sentinel. 181 00:09:04,759 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 1: Come on now, Dacke's Ali in your head. 182 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,799 Speaker 2: Wait, where's the way to Charlie?

In the end, you'll always 499 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:23,519 sell yourself to the highest bidder. 500 00:25:26,279 --> 00:25:30,039 Speaker 2: Fellow, I haven't worth on the pont oh from the bank, 501 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:31,319 Uh tell him, I stepped out of the. 502 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,200 Speaker 6: Office, but it's very important. 503 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,160 Speaker 2: I'm out of the office and I can't talk to him. 504 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 4: You have some notes overdo at the bank. 505 00:25:38,799 --> 00:25:41,559 Speaker 2: How do you know I own the bank? 506 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:46,640 Speaker 4: What I'm the majority stockholder and next week Southworth will 507 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:48,519 has to call in these notes or. 508 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,559 Speaker 2: Else You own the bank? 509 00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:55,599 Speaker 4: Yes, yes, I also recently acquired Imperial Furniture, and my 510 00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:59,000 new manager was instructed to hire your foreman, Jerry Ritzer, 511 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,359 So that's I also have a controlling interest in Western 512 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:05,880 State Merchandises. I don't think they'll be buying from you 513 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,160 in the future, or at least until I give them 514 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:08,480 the word. 515 00:26:08,519 --> 00:26:10,680 Speaker 2: Did you also buy up George Cawley's mill. 516 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:15,519 Speaker 4: George Cowley, No, No, I don't know about that. Well, 517 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,880 it goes to show you bad luck is contagious. You 518 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,880 won't need me to destroy you? And now on it 519 00:26:22,039 --> 00:26:25,759 can uh be a snowball rolling downhill, But we can 520 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:29,319 always break up that snowball before it gets out of control. 521 00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:33,000 Just uh kill Judge Morrow for me. 522 00:26:33,319 --> 00:26:46,720 Speaker 2: No, I'll never do it. Never, As we all know, 523 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:53,400 you're a long long time. Actually it's the same as forever, 524 00:26:54,559 --> 00:26:58,039 and things have a way of falling into different perspectives 525 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:05,200 and circumstances and alter cases. Man is nothing if not flexible. 526 00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:11,920 Well will he or won't he? The third act is 527 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:12,799 coming up in. 528 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:28,200 Speaker 3: Just a few moments. 529 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:34,799 Speaker 2: We talk about morality. But what is morality? It comes 530 00:27:34,799 --> 00:27:39,799 from the Latin moras, which means custom. In other words, 531 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:45,519 what the majority believes is moral. Now, if we are 532 00:27:45,559 --> 00:27:49,640 having this searching analysis of morality, it's only because mister 533 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:54,960 Richard F. Nelson is undergoing the same process. Mister Nelson 534 00:27:55,319 --> 00:27:59,640 is in danger of losing everything he cherishes unless he 535 00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:04,759 can murder and murder. As we all know, he is 536 00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:10,720 not moral. So what is morality? 537 00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:11,119 Speaker 1: Dick? 538 00:28:11,519 --> 00:28:14,720 Speaker 4: Yes, I I was at the club today and I 539 00:28:14,839 --> 00:28:19,039 signed for lunch.
