Speaker 1: Ah Escape.
Speaker 2: You are fighting your way through a frozen wilderness, torn
Speaker 2: by the icy blast of an Arctic blizzard, and driving
Speaker 2: you on towards certain death. Is a man with a.
Speaker 3: Gun from whom you cannot escape.
Speaker 4: Escape designed to free you from the four walls of
Speaker 4: to day for a half hour of high adventure.
Speaker 2: AH to night. We escape to the Canadian north Woods,
Speaker 2: to a lonely wilderness where justice fine strange paths. As
Speaker 2: janss Oliver Kerwood told it in his famous story The Match.
Speaker 5: Just below the Arctic Circle, where blizzards scream in the
Speaker 5: winter and tear frozen branches from the pine trees, where
Speaker 5: the driven sleep cuts human skin like flying glass. There
Speaker 5: men know and fear the eternal spirit of the icy North,
Speaker 5: the great cold spirit that weaves the patterns of human destiny.
Speaker 5: Both weaves and destroys forever and again.
Speaker 6: The spirit throws out strange swirls of chance and coenciddents
Speaker 6: that meet eventually in a terrible whirlpool, which swallows up
Speaker 6: the old pattern and creates some new and different one
Speaker 6: for men to.
Speaker 5: Wonder and marvel at. One such swirl in time and
Speaker 5: space began months ago and far to the south in
Speaker 5: a logging camp near the southern border of Canada, where
Speaker 5: two men faced each other on a narrow trail in
Speaker 5: the light of a full moon. It began in violence
Speaker 5: and hatred.
Speaker 3: What do you want, lying, Tharn, I've been talking to Genie.
Speaker 3: She told me what you did?
Speaker 7: Well, what about it?
Speaker 3: She told me all of it, the whole thing too bad.
Speaker 2: Lying, But if you can't keep your wife from casting
Speaker 2: her eye around, and that's your tough luck.
Speaker 3: They one no eyes cast around, and you know.
Speaker 2: It all right, then what are you gonna do about it?
Speaker 2: I'm not sure yet. Then I'll tell you nothing. You
Speaker 2: haven't got a leg to stand on. I'm running this
Speaker 2: camp and every man in it, and if you don't
Speaker 2: like what I do, then get out.
Speaker 3: I'm planning to stay.
Speaker 2: In that case, you'd better get used to the way
Speaker 2: I run things, men and women. And the next time
Speaker 2: I drop in, that's it. Eh, Well, then that life
Speaker 2: thron drop it.
Speaker 3: Get up, thro Come on, get up on your feet,
Speaker 3: Get up, Throng. What's the matter with you? Thorn? Thorn?
Speaker 7: A rock under his head.
Speaker 3: He's he's dead, Jennie, dry Billy, what's wrong, Geennie? I
Speaker 3: ran into thorn a few minutes ago.
Speaker 8: Oh, Billy, your hand, what did you do?
Speaker 3: I hit him, Genie, he started to pull a knife,
Speaker 3: so I knocked him down. His head hit a rock
Speaker 3: when he fell. He's dead. No, oh no, they probably
Speaker 3: won't climb thorn until the morning. So I've got to
Speaker 3: get out of here in the next half hour. Leave.
Speaker 3: I'm no here, Geenie. They don't know me. It's just
Speaker 3: my word. I wouldn't have a chance.
Speaker 9: We go.
Speaker 3: Not you. You're going to take the baby and go
Speaker 3: back to the cottage in New York State.
Speaker 8: Where are you planning to go?
Speaker 3: North? Honey? You a long ways north. I'll have a
Speaker 3: better chance up there in the woods.
Speaker 9: Catch Billy, they always do.
Speaker 3: Don't worry. They won't catch me. And somehow, sooner or later,
Speaker 3: we're going to be back together again, believe me.
Speaker 5: And so in the south, one black swirl of chance
Speaker 5: is born and moved slowly north toward through time and space,
Speaker 5: moves even as the great Arctic storms move across the
Speaker 5: faces of continents, and they're ahead of it. Among the
Speaker 5: tumbled ridges of spruce and pine, another swirl of human
Speaker 5: fate moves at the whim of the bleak spirit of
Speaker 5: that frozen land moves first one way, then another, but
Speaker 5: centers allays near one certain red coated uniform of the
Speaker 5: Royal Canadian Mounted Police centers on the hard, lean figure
Speaker 5: of a man called Sergeant Brokaw.
Speaker 7: Nice shot, sergeant, thanks to birth.
Speaker 3: The captain sent Peter, Wait, there's.
Speaker 7: One of Mortagasi. Lep out there, dead center. Brother.
Speaker 3: I wish I could shoot like that.
Speaker 7: Work on it. Good shooting something you'll need if you
Speaker 7: stay in the mountis.
Speaker 3: I guess it's helped you plenty of times?
Speaker 7: Yeah? If you have got there telegram.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it's an order. The Captain told me to
Speaker 3: bring out to you here.
Speaker 7: Mmm see special assignment for apprehension and return of a
Speaker 7: fugitive name Billy Lauring height five eight eleven inches. Wait,
Speaker 7: and so on and so on. A senior Hobbs landing
Speaker 7: on October third and reported heading north, wanted from murder.
Speaker 7: Sergeant Brookhaws signed instruction bring back fugitive.
Speaker 2: They make it sound plenty simple, sergeant, bring back fugitive.
Speaker 7: Just await all to sound. When you're assigned to bring
Speaker 7: a man in, you bring him in. That's always to it.
Speaker 7: There's no excuse, no alibi for not doing it. You
Speaker 7: can take my wood on a trooper. I've been doing
Speaker 7: it for twelve years.
Speaker 3: And so far you've never missed getting your men.
Speaker 7: Not so far, not ever. And I go after a man,
Speaker 7: I'm gonna get him sooner or later, in one way
Speaker 7: or another. I'm gonna bring him back every time. And
Speaker 7: that goes for this what's his name, Lauring? You can
Speaker 7: bet your life on it.
Speaker 5: And so they grew in time and space, these two
Speaker 5: great swirls of chance, the one hovering in the north
Speaker 5: and the other moving toward it, slowly across a thousand
Speaker 5: miles and through two hundred and twenty seven days.
Speaker 7: And one night.
Speaker 5: At last they met in a tiny raw pine cabin
Speaker 5: hidden in the blizzard frozen marsh, hard up against the
Speaker 5: Arctic Circle, and the wild whirlpool born from that meeting
Speaker 5: created strange new patterns of human life and death and destiny.
Speaker 7: All right, Laring, let's have your other risk there.
Speaker 3: You don't need these handcuffs. You've got me. That's that.
Speaker 7: I don't take chances, Loring. You know it already, of course,
Speaker 7: But you're under a rest in the name of the
Speaker 7: crown for murder. You can sit down in that chair
Speaker 7: with a stove. Thanks.
Speaker 3: It's funny. I've lived here all winter, and I've had
Speaker 3: pretty good luck trapping, been selling first to the Indians
Speaker 3: in another month. I've had enough to go away and
Speaker 3: meet my wife.
Speaker 7: Then you come along, have luck loring, and start back
Speaker 7: for the post in the morning, or at least as
Speaker 7: soon as this blizzard lits up.
Speaker 3: It'll be three days, it always is. What's your name?
Speaker 7: Broke off? Sergeant broke off?
Speaker 3: That's kind of funny somehow, to day being the day
Speaker 3: you found me and I did.
Speaker 7: I hate to be camping out in that blizzard to night.
Speaker 7: Oh what's so funny about to day? It's her birthday?
Speaker 3: I mean my wife Jeannie here, let me show you
Speaker 3: all a loring. Oh no, no, no, no, that it's
Speaker 3: all right. It's just a photograph. Hey, let me unwrap it.
Speaker 7: See mm she's a pretty girl.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that and everything else. Sergeant, you married? No had
Speaker 3: some of her hair that curl?
Speaker 7: It spinned to the picture, yem read, isn't it?
Speaker 3: It's like red gold. We got married on her birthday,
Speaker 3: so to day's our wedding anniversary too. She wanted it
Speaker 3: that way, she said, the best things in her life
Speaker 3: always happened on her birthday. Yeah, well, yeah, I I
Speaker 3: guess it was crazy, but I was so happy when
Speaker 3: I got up this morning about what day it was,
Speaker 3: and only two months to go in hall. I put
Speaker 3: two places at the breakfast table, and I propped her
Speaker 3: picture up by one of 'em. I sat there talking
Speaker 3: to her while we eat together. I guess you'd get
Speaker 3: like that up here alone. I haven't seen a white
Speaker 3: man for three months. I had a little dog for
Speaker 3: a while, but he'd he died about six weeks ago,
Speaker 3: and there wasn't any chance to get another one. Genie
Speaker 3: always liked dogs, dogs and kids. I don't mind my
Speaker 3: talking this way to your sergeant. It kind of helps.
Speaker 7: I don't mind. Why should I?
Speaker 3: Well, the thing is, we've always been blamed crazy about
Speaker 3: each other. It'd never been a part until this came up,
Speaker 3: and then we had to be, and in another month
Speaker 3: or two we'd we'd have been back together.
Speaker 7: It's your own fault, Loring, It's not my concern. My
Speaker 7: job is to find you and bring you in. I've
Speaker 7: done part of that, and I will do the rest
Speaker 7: of it.
Speaker 3: Maybe, so I warn you right now, sergeant, I'll make
Speaker 3: it as tough for you as possible. I'm gonna get
Speaker 3: away if I can. You see, I promised her that
Speaker 3: we'd be together again.
Speaker 7: It's up to you, Lauring. But if you start to
Speaker 7: play rough, I can play a whole lot rougher. One
Speaker 7: way or another. I'm gonna bring you in the stand trial.
Speaker 7: There's nothing and stop me. Maybe so, Sergeant. You see,
Speaker 7: I'm probably the hardest man in the whole Royal Canadian
Speaker 7: Mounted Lowering. And that's your hat luck too, because you
Speaker 7: might have softened up another man with that stuff you
Speaker 7: were telling.
Speaker 3: You think that's why I talked about it.
Speaker 7: I don't know, and I don't care. The only thing
Speaker 7: that matters is that I've got a job to do.
Speaker 7: I always have done it, and I'm going to do
Speaker 7: it this time. You can depend on that.
Speaker 3: I guess. Duty is a big part of your alive.
Speaker 7: Not a big part of it, Loring, it's all of it.
Speaker 7: If you don't mind that. Come fifteen miles of the
Speaker 7: snow today, last five against the plizion. I'm tired. Let's
Speaker 7: turn in, all right, Sure you can take the bunk,
Speaker 7: neave your clothes on, he said, all right, if I
Speaker 7: get that photograph off the table, go ahead, all right,
Speaker 7: put your feet together.
Speaker 3: Uh huh, what's the chain for it?
Speaker 7: Another reason to call me hard? I'm gonna pad like
Speaker 7: it around your ankles. You are cautious. That's that's right, Laurie.
Speaker 7: They call out if you want anything in the night.
Speaker 7: If you try to get up without calling, I'll kill you.
Speaker 7: I'll sleep here in the chair and this gun happens
Speaker 7: to be caught.
Speaker 3: Thanks for warning me. Good night, sergeant. Good night, by
Speaker 3: the way, Sergeant broke Aw.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's too.
Speaker 3: Bad you never got married. Why because when you go
Speaker 3: to sleep, you've nobody to dream about it?
Speaker 8: Billy, Billy Darling, can you hear me?
Speaker 3: Yes, Genie, yes, darling.
Speaker 9: Never mind the blizzard, it doesn't matter. We've been in
Speaker 9: storms before.
Speaker 3: Yes, I remember.
Speaker 9: And to day's my birthday and also the day we
Speaker 9: were married. Nothing can really hurt us. Everything's going to
Speaker 9: be all.
Speaker 3: Right, yes, Gene, Yes, everything is going to be all right, Billy.
Speaker 7: Yes.
Speaker 10: Jane, remember one time in the far we built a
Speaker 10: bonfire and roasted ears of coin that was in the
Speaker 10: field back of the cottage.
Speaker 3: Yes, two years ago. That was on your birthday.
Speaker 10: Too, yes, yes, And do you remember how the smoke
Speaker 10: would always get in your eyes, and how it would
Speaker 10: follow you around and make you.
Speaker 9: Cough and sneeze.
Speaker 3: Sure, I remember, remember the smoke, the smoke, Sure, I remember,
Speaker 3: it's small smoke. What smoke. The cabin's on fire, sergeant,
Speaker 3: sergeant broke off, Wake up, the cabins on fire.
Speaker 11: But he got this chain off my feet. I can't
Speaker 11: walk no time. The whole root's on fire. I'll carrying it.
Speaker 9: Smoke.
Speaker 11: You can't see the door.
Speaker 7: Oh, don't hear?
Speaker 3: This looks like we made it, thanks sergeant.
Speaker 7: I gotta get back in there.
Speaker 11: All our stuffs in there, you can't make it. Hack
Speaker 11: off the roof.
Speaker 7: Hey, yes, you know the spot we're Inlaring?
Speaker 3: Yes, I know. Are heavy coats, smitten snow shoes and
Speaker 3: all of our food is burning up inside there.
Speaker 7: And it's forty below and a blizzard just starting here.
Speaker 7: You can't lie there in the snow. I'll get that
Speaker 7: chain off your ankles.
Speaker 3: Hey, yeah, thanks, sergeant. What about the handcuffs?
Speaker 7: Hey, stay on loring?
Speaker 3: Are you crazy? What difference does it make? We haven't
Speaker 3: a chance. You know that as well as I do.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I know.
Speaker 3: We couldn't be any worse off. We don't even have
Speaker 3: a match. I saw you fill your case and put
Speaker 3: it in your coat. It's inside there. We don't even
Speaker 3: have a match.
Speaker 7: I know that, Loring, and I know everything else. You're
Speaker 7: gonna tell me you don't have enough clothes to keep
Speaker 7: us from freezing to death. If we stay here and
Speaker 7: keep the fire going, will starve. It's sixty miles to
Speaker 7: the nearest post. In twenty miles to thor Rows, the
Speaker 7: next cabin down the trail. We might make ten miles
Speaker 7: if we're lucky, more likely five.
Speaker 3: That's right, So why the handcuffs.
Speaker 7: You've been living up here for three months, Loring. I've
Speaker 7: got an idea. You probably know some cabin a lot
Speaker 7: closer than Thorrough's, some Indian or a trapper, maybe not
Speaker 7: more than two or three miles away. You want to
Speaker 7: start breaking trail? Well, suppose I did. What of it?
Speaker 3: Something good has always happened to me on Jeanie's birthday,
Speaker 3: and I think it has this time. Sergeant. It's a
Speaker 3: lot easier to freeze to death and to go back
Speaker 3: and die the way I'd be doing it.
Speaker 7: So so it's like that.
Speaker 3: It's like that, unless you want to make a deal.
Speaker 3: What kind of a deal, Take off these cuffs, give
Speaker 3: me that revolver and I'll get you out of this.
Speaker 3: There's a cabin alron.
Speaker 7: Sorry, Loring, no deal.
Speaker 3: You're a full broke aw. I got nothing to lose,
Speaker 3: but you're just tossing your life away.
Speaker 7: How about it, we'll take turns, breaking trail. You can
Speaker 7: lead off first. We may as well start where four rows,
Speaker 7: of course, twenty miles. Why don't we sit down and
Speaker 7: freeze to death here instead of five miles from here?
Speaker 7: Because I'll be five miles closer to bringing you in.
Speaker 3: Come on, you're a fool, Sergeant, you're beaten, you know it.
Speaker 3: Why don't you give in?
Speaker 7: Come on, Loring, let's get going, Lauring. How far do
Speaker 7: you think we've come by? Now?
Speaker 3: I don't know. Let's rest for a minute.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm pretty winted myself. Five miles? You think I'd
Speaker 7: say about four?
Speaker 3: Sixteen? More to thor rows? I think we'll get Sergeant,
Speaker 3: we'll try it. We only had some way of building fires.
Speaker 3: We could stop and get warm once in a while.
Speaker 7: Not even an Indian could build a fire in this
Speaker 7: blizzard without matches.
Speaker 3: Yah. The wind is slacking off a.
Speaker 7: Bit, which means you'll get colder.
Speaker 3: Non, we better move on, sergeant, How about taking off
Speaker 3: these cuffs. They're freezing to my skin. Look, I'm bleeding
Speaker 3: on both wrists.
Speaker 7: Then why don't you take us to that cabin you
Speaker 7: know about? Wanna make that deal? No deal, no deal,
Speaker 7: not cabin. And I'm sorry for your loring, But the
Speaker 7: cuffs stay on. Why what difference can it make? We'll
Speaker 7: both be dead in two hours anyway. If we are,
Speaker 7: you'll still be wearing those cuffs, and this gun will
Speaker 7: still be in my hoster, dead or alive, You'll still
Speaker 7: be my prisoner.
Speaker 3: The hardest man in the mountains.
Speaker 7: Are you ready? Loring?
Speaker 3: Sure? Why not?
Speaker 7: I let out for a while. Come on, let's go.
Speaker 5: Of all those who dwell in this frozen land. The bleak,
Speaker 5: cruel spirit of the North is known best to men
Speaker 5: on the open trail. There, facing the breath of the blizzard,
Speaker 5: eyes blinded by the driving sleep, a man feels his
Speaker 5: soul grows small within him, And when that happens, his
Speaker 5: mind may turn to strange fantasies and memories of a
Speaker 5: far away voice.
Speaker 9: Billy, can you hear me? Billy?
Speaker 3: Yes, Jimmy, Everything's going to be all right.
Speaker 10: Billy, I love you, and everything's going to be all right, sure, honey.
Speaker 10: The snow doesn't matter, and the blizzard doesn't matter. They'll
Speaker 10: be gone soon and there'll be only us.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I can see you now standing there at the gate
Speaker 3: in front of the cottage.
Speaker 9: That's right, darling.
Speaker 10: Don't look at the snow and the icy trees in
Speaker 10: the storm.
Speaker 8: Look at me instead. See.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's spring in the sunshine, and I'm wearing my
Speaker 3: hair the way you've always liked it.
Speaker 8: It's in curls old tumber see, Billy.
Speaker 3: Oh, Genie, Genie rocawe, rocall, what's the matter?
Speaker 7: Helda stir the rest?
Speaker 3: You can't lie there like that. You'll be asleep in
Speaker 3: five minutes and it'll be the end.
Speaker 7: Oh how much farther?
Speaker 3: Ah, around fourteen miles, come about six altogether?
Speaker 7: Mm.
Speaker 12: Yeah, your hands in pretty bad shape.
Speaker 3: I don't know, sergeant, I can't feel anything.
Speaker 12: Now, m might as well take those cups, uh, stick
Speaker 12: out your hands, thanks, sergeant.
Speaker 7: Yeah, here's my gun. How come I'm through beat, I'm
Speaker 7: giving in, Larry, take us to that cabin. Yeah, what's wrong?
Speaker 3: You get too late, sergeant? M What do you mean
Speaker 3: the cabin's about two miles and where mine was. We're
Speaker 3: over four miles from it now. Neither one of us
Speaker 3: can last another half mile.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I guess sure. I Well looks like you win, Laurie.
Speaker 3: You might call it that. It's tough on you, though
Speaker 3: I was gonna die anyway.
Speaker 7: Uh, well, may as well keep moving.
Speaker 3: Why this is as good a place as any.
Speaker 7: Not gonna stop trying. As long as I can move,
Speaker 7: you can do what you like, Chloring. I'm going on.
Speaker 3: Quite a minute, sison.
Speaker 7: Uh.
Speaker 3: If we had a fire and we could get warm
Speaker 3: for a while, then we can make that cabin without
Speaker 3: much danger.
Speaker 7: Yeah, we haven't.
Speaker 3: Suppose I say the word, it'll save both of us.
Speaker 3: Get us out of this. Will you go back to the
Speaker 3: headquarters and tell him I'm dead?
Speaker 7: No, No, I can't do that. Twelve years of the service.
Speaker 7: I haven't run up a white flag once. I'm not
Speaker 7: gonna do it now. Die don' no dying duty. Huh God,
Speaker 7: whatever you want, we'll make your square offer. Though. Put
Speaker 7: us out of this, and I'll give you twenty four
Speaker 7: hours head start as soon as we're both on our
Speaker 7: feet again.
Speaker 3: You're all right, brokaw Funny, I don't even know why
Speaker 3: I'm doing this. I couldn't let you go on down
Speaker 3: the trail and you stumble into a drift and be
Speaker 3: dead before we'd made half a mile, and I'd have
Speaker 3: been safe. Then, funny, I don't know why i'd do it.
Speaker 3: Maybe it's on a kind of her.
Speaker 7: H what's your plan?
Speaker 12: Lie?
Speaker 7: What have we got in mind?
Speaker 3: I'll take the offer of twenty four hours brokaw. I'd
Speaker 3: got a match? Uh man, yeah, just one. I remember
Speaker 3: dropping it at my pants pocket yesterday. It's on this side.
Speaker 3: Maybe you can get to it. Your hands are in
Speaker 3: better shape than mine.
Speaker 7: I I can't seem.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, hear this. It's dry. Do now drop it?

Speaker 3: to make sure I've got some hold the match?
Speaker 7: Oh oh paper rap on that photograph man?
Speaker 3: Here? Yeah, funny, I was thinking about her when I
Speaker 3: remember the match, I guess she's the one that's really
Speaker 3: gonna light this fire.
Speaker 7: Ah, there it is. You wanna strike it? You want
Speaker 7: me to?
Speaker 3: You go ahead? My hands it's still pretty stiff.
Speaker 7: Alright, you want to have something dry to scratch it?

Speaker 3: you can get it.
Speaker 7: Alright, Uh yeah, yeah here it is all right.
Speaker 3: Well it's up to her now, all right, Genie.

Speaker 3: It's gone. Well, what's the difference here? Or hath of
Speaker 3: my father? It's not so bad. It's kind of peaceful, dreamy,
Speaker 3: so peaceful. It's just like going to sleep.
Speaker 8: Don't go to sleep, Billy, wake up.
Speaker 3: Everything's gonna be all right, Genie.
Speaker 8: Up, darling. You can't go to sleep. You've got to
Speaker 8: wake up.
Speaker 3: Everything's all right.
Speaker 9: The smoke day don't you remember the smoke?
Speaker 11: Huh.
Speaker 8: We're going to beat together again. Open your eyes, huh
Speaker 8: together again, open your.
Speaker 11: Eyes, uh huh.
Speaker 3: Smoke the fire, it's burning.
Speaker 11: Spark from that match must have caught Genie. The fire
Speaker 11: is burning, the fire.
Speaker 5: And so one man finds eternal sleep on the frozen
Speaker 5: breast of the snow, and one man dreams beside a
Speaker 5: fire whose tongues.
Speaker 7: Of flame are like the red curls of a woman's hair.
Speaker 5: When the blizzard has stripped the lipt things away, and
Speaker 5: the soul of a man stands facing the blast, clean
Speaker 5: and bare and alone, then what is right and what
Speaker 5: is wrong? Does justice depend on the striking of a match?
Speaker 5: Is human destiny only a thing of accident and of chance?
Speaker 5: Ask the icy voice of the Arctic storm, Ask the cold,
Speaker 5: bleak spirit of the Great north Woods.
